To the editor:
I never thought I'd write a letter to the editor, but I'm so tired of people like Scott Carlton ("Steubenville needs God's blessing," March 24), disgracing an entire police department.
My husband is a 15-year veteran of the Steubenville Police Department and has the utmost character and integrity. I realize it's by his choice, but he puts his life on the line every day to protect this city and I pray that he returns home safely to his family.
Not only does he protect his city but he is also a United States Army Veteran. I hope our son never reads your article of what you think of his father. Shame on you, Mr. Carlton. God bless all.

Fast Forward
Columbia Law School graduates working at the intersection
of new media technology and the law are helping to reshape the
world of communications
In 1985, during the early days of MTV, when "Careless Whisper" by Wham! dominated Billboard's top 100 charts and Nintendo released Super Mario Bros., a fresh-faced Columbia Law School graduate named Brad Smith '84 set off for his first day clerking for Judge Charles Metzner at the Southern District of New York. It would turn out to be a memorable occasion—not just for Smith, but for everyone who caught a glimpse of this redheaded native Wisconsinite ascending the steps with an unwieldy object that, back then, was virtually unheard of within the hallowed halls of Foley Square: a personal computer. "It was a new experience for the courthouse," Smith recalls. "I'm not sure they knew quite what to make of me." He used this odd device to draft memos and opinions for the judge. To Smith, the benefits seemed obvious: Here was a tool that could get things done better and faster. Strange looks notwithstanding, the young clerk knew he was on to something. And in short order, his hunch would be proven correct.
On November 20 of that same year, a little company out of Washington called Microsoft launched a product known as "Windows." Twenty-four years later, that company has grown into one of the most influential in the world.
Even those who snickered at Smith in '85 would now agree that the personal computer was as important as electricity or the automobile in revolutionizing our world and the way we experience it. It is perhaps not surprising then that Smith's decision to become an early adaptor led him down a path that resulted in his rising to the position of senior vice president, general counsel, and corporate secretary for the Microsoft Corporation, overseeing attorneys in 44 countries.
"It's an interesting lesson," Smith says, looking back. "You always have to think about what you're about to be branded as—but I think in this case, there was a lot of upside to being branded as someone who was interested in, or knew a lot about, computers."
Now, Smith manages a staff of roughly 1,000 as the head of Microsoft's department of legal and corporate affairs. Because Microsoft is such a high-profile company, bringing accordingly high-profile issues to the fore, Smith says he probably has a more public role than many of his contemporaries in the computer industry. These days, he is just as likely to be giving speeches as he is to be overseeing big negotiations. He is also the company's chief compliance officer and is responsible for the expansion of Microsoft's philanthropic activities.
Though he wears many hats, Smith says the ability to take a forward-looking approach is the common strain tying together each of his responsibilities at Microsoft.
"A constant feature of my job is the degree to which the law is changing to adapt to the various societal impacts of new technology," he says. "One lesson I frequently apply is one I learned in my very first semester at Columbia, in the Legal Methods class. The course showed how specific aspects of product liability law changed almost 180 degrees over a 45-year period, influenced in substantial part by the rise of the automobile and modern manufacturing. I find myself talking frequently with our lawyers about the need to focus not just on the law as it exists today, but to anticipate where it is heading. I even find myself illustrating the point with a couple of the cases from that course. I have to admit that I never imagined that when I was a 1L."
During Smith's first semester at Morningside Heights, it would have been similarly impossible to predict the tidal wave of changes that would take place over the next quarter-century in new technology, in media, and in how the two intersect. Along with "personal computer," we have added "internet," "email," "cable television," "Facebook," and "satellite radio" to our expanded lexicons. But these aren't just words anymore. They are aspects of our quality of life that have become so quickly and deeply ingrained that most of us can no longer imagine life without them. As the sands shifted, many Law School graduates, like Smith, have found themselves at the precipice of these new ideas—among them, Adam Barea '99, who works at Google, and Dara Altman '83, who has taken on an executive role at Sirius XM Radio. While the rest of us reap the benefits of this rapidly changing landscape, these alumni have actually shaped it.
Perhaps no company symbolizes the scope of new technology's changes, and their attendant improvements to our everyday lives, more than Google. Back in 1996, when a couple of Stanford grad students named Sergey Brin and Larry Page were just getting acquainted, New York City native Adam Barea was entering his first year at the Law School. His timing turned out to be perfect.
Barea's Law School experience came at a time when much of the world was encountering "the internet" for the first time, and the legal world was scrambling to figure out how to regulate it. Here was an entirely unknown animal—a vast network of information that was growing at a rate of more than 100 percent a year and yet, in the strictest sense of the word, didn't even exist. In a place with no real geographical representation, just figuring out what belonged to whom was an incalculably
daunting task.
Barea had shown a passion for intellectual property that dated back to childhood. "My mother sometimes teases me because I used to get so upset when people would steal my ideas and claim them as their own," Barea says. That personality trait translated to a near-obsession, later in life, with the challenge of assigning value and proprietorship to abstract ideas. "What started me down this path was the realization that a single word carries so much meaning," he recalls. "That's what I love most about trademarks. I can say 'McDonald's' to you, and there are experiences shared by everyone relating to that one word."
At the Law School, Barea was already being seduced by the chance to be in the driver's seat when trademark and copyright laws "established in the brick-and-mortar world" needed to be rewritten to accommodate cyberspace. In 1998, during his third year, Congress passed the single most important piece of legislation related to the internet: the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Finally, some questions regarding how copyright laws would be applied on the web were being answered.
After law school, Barea served as a judicial clerk to Maryland District Court Judge Alexander Harvey II '50 before joining Drinker Biddle & Reath's intellectual property group in Washington, D.C. He then moved to the D.C. offices of Cooley Godward Kronish, where he represented Mozilla, developer of the Firefox browser. In 2007, after four years at Cooley, Barea packed his bags for California and began working in-house at Google.
Right away, Barea's fascination with the frontiers of IP law would be tested. That March, media giant Viacom sued Google-owned YouTube for damages in excess of $1 billion after more than 160,000 clips of Viacom's entertainment programming appeared on the free site. It remains one of the most high-profile DMCA cases to date. "Luckily, in 1998," he says, "[Columbia Law School Professor] Jane Ginsburg spent a week talking to us about this stuff in copyrights class. That gave me an early introduction to something that would play a big role in my job at Google."
In his current position, Barea's passion for defending intellectual property combines with his desire to help advance a company he truly respects. He is well aware of the all-powerful, Big Brother reputation Google maintains among some internet users. (Law School professor and telecommunications law expert Tim Wu efficiently summed up this sentiment when he told The New York Times Magazine last year: "To love Google, you have to be a little bit of a monarchist, you have to have faith in the way people traditionally felt about the king.") But Barea believes first and foremost in Google's ability to improve the lives of internet users, and he gets an inside look at those efforts on a daily basis. "Because Google is successful, some people think we're basically like Mister Burns [the greedy old mogul character from The Simpsons]," he says. "But the reality is quite the opposite. Our driving principles are to do good and to make things open. If you're good to users, users come back."
While Brad Smith and Adam Barea seem almost destined for tech law positions, Dara Altman landed at the cutting edge of new media as the result of a happy detour from Wall Street securities law. The daughter of one of New York's most influential theatrical lawyers, Floria Lasky (whose clients included Tennessee Williams and Jerome Robbins), Altman figured that after graduating from Columbia Law School she might someday fill her mother's sizable shoes. In the meantime, however, she put in her time working on IPOs and mergers and acquisitions. That all changed the day she got a chance to work in the realm of the surreal—as senior counsel at HBO monitoring the compliance between HBO and GE to build a satellite.
"The great thing about being a lawyer is that you realize you can learn anything," Altman says, laughing. "I had always said I was not good at math, but by the end of my time working on that satellite venture, I was fighting for launch insertion accuracy in our Arianespace launch contract. You realize that everything is a vocabulary to learn."
Altman learned fast. After HBO, she managed all business and legal affairs for Request Television and then moved on to Discovery Communications, where she oversaw $750 million in programming for the company's TV networks.
In 2006, Altman's former boss and then-CEO of XM Satellite Radio called and asked her to join him in a company that was charting new territory in an old medium. She accepted and became XM's head of legal, business affairs, and public policy. Almost immediately, Altman immersed herself in what ultimately became a successful battle with government regulatory agencies over XM's plans to merge with Sirius Radio. Now, as chief administrative officer of the satellite radio powerhouse, she's part of the five-person executive team that reports to Mel Karmazin, the company's CEO.
"I thought that satellite radio was in the beginning stages, the way premium TV was before it really got going," Altman says. What most compelled her, though, was the opportunity to transform a medium that many considered to be "old media" into something that, like the internet, was potentially limitless. "What's fascinating about satellite radio's potential," she says, "is that, where radio used to be a one-to-many distribution platform, because of the depth and breadth of the content that we can provide in this generation—which, as everyone writes, is turning into a generation where people want what they want when they want it—we have the unique ability to provide an almost one-to-one solution tailored to individual taste, while still allowing for the marvel of discovery."
Taking on her new role at XM three years ago meant Altman was headed for a new specialization and, once again, a new vocabulary. "Everybody asks me why I left television," she says, "because everybody thinks television is so sexy." Altman, though, couldn't be happier with her decision. And if the breakneck pace of this new media era has taught us anything, it's that those doubters—just like the ones who watched a young Brad Smith drag his personal computer up the steps of Foley Square 24 years ago—might just have to rethink what's sexy.

Oracle Expounds on Primavera Software Roadmap
By Melissa Centurio Lopes on Aug 20, 2013
Since acquiring Primavera in 2008, Oracle has worked on enhancing several features of its software, such as application integration and mobile functionality.
Looking to the future, Oracle seeks to provide more governance of the project portfolio management (PPM) application. Tony Banks, product director for Primavera software, spoke recently to TechTarget editor Lena J. Weiner about the roadmap for Primavera software.
In the video, Banks said that Oracle's goal is to continue to deliver "its vision" of a "true" enterprise PPM solution. According to Banks, that means "single platform, single vendor."
But Banks added that it also means being able to organize projects across all departments, capitalizing on similar business functions across departments while acknowledging specific business use cases. Watch the video for more details.

Bought these during one of the last wootoffs for the wife. As soon as I tested them out I regretted not getting myself a pair. Now I can WOOOOOOOT!
Got mine for a week or so, loving it! For $50 even refurb, get your hands on it. O btw, my local brookstone still selling this instead of the newer version for $149.
Never commented on a Woot before but I'm kinda interested in this one. Any idea if the 3-button mic/remote system only work solely with apple products or will they function with an android phone?
Great headphons..I bought these last time around because I wanted a travel set of decent headphones and I thought these would fit thrill not even noticing they also were a headset....
Sound quality is great.
They fit my big fat head with plenty of room to spare.
The inline mic is one of the best if used for using it as a phone headset.
Travel case is fantastic and not too big it won't fit in my laptop backpack.
The airplane adapter is an added benefit.
One of few (in my opinion) on ear cushion headphones that doesn't put pressure on your ear yet still cuts out plenty of outside noises.
Did I mention how comfy their were? Buy a pair and enjoy...personally I may buy a second pair at this price and just leave a set in my bag for travel permanently.
@psych3: not sure about android but I would think so....I say that because the control line isn't a new thing. My old BB Curve works with control line buttons like this....though him glad I don't have to use that old BB anymore. :)
Amazon has them NEW for $78.63, with a TWO YEAR warranty, instead of 90 days here. The Square Trade is $10.99 for ONE year, so that is getting a bit too close to the NEW price for me. FREE shipping with my Amazon Prime account too... Great reviews on Amazon too - http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-Image-ONE-Earphones-3-Button/dp/B0043M9AU2
@psych3: It works on my Galaxy S3
@psych3: Correction: The next song/pause button works with my GS3, but the volume controls and mic do not
Bought these previously from woot. Liked them so much I picked up another pair when they were offered again. They're not actually refurbished, but "Used, Like New" which is what is actually stated on the box.
Oh let me state too that when these arrived (the previous ones I got from Woot) they were sealed in brown box packaging, with all the tape and cords tied and plastic, etc on it. Just as if they were brand new. Even being refurbished, they looked BRAND NEW. I cant wait for this pair to arrive!
Works well with my ipod touch. I use an app call music controller or something else on my android phone. You can set 3, 4, or 5 of the main button clicks for music volume, forward or back.
I got these last year in a WOOT OFF and the first time I put them on the ear pad fell off and I couldn't get it back on. I would say "no" to these- poor quality construction. They don't come close to my Bose headphones.
@jcmccroskey3: I use these for my every day commute. I actually stepped on one of the ear pads yesterday (I like to watch videos on my tablet before bedtime and just drop these on the floor) and it held up fine. The ear pads themselves are replaceable as well.
Tested with all my devices:
All 3 buttons work with the iPhone 4s, Touch 4th gen, Classic & Nano 6th gen. Buttons do not work with iPhone 3Gs.
Only the play/pause button works on the HTC One V running Android 4.0 & Samsung Tab 2.
Buttons do not work with the Kindle Fire.

What is the
debian_chroot variable in my bashrc file? and what is it doing here?
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ '
Chroot is a unix feature that lets you restrict a process to a subtree of the filesystem. One traditional use is FTP servers that chroot to a subset of the filesystem containing only a few utilities and configuration files, plus the files to serve; that way, even if an intruder manages to exploit a bug in the server, they won't be able to access files outside the chroot. Another common use is when you're installing or repairing a unix system and you boot from a different system (such as a live CD): once a basic system is available, you can chroot into it and do more work.

To the Editor,
The 2012 Follansbee Community Days festival has concluded, and the committee and I would like to take this time to thank everyone who contributed to the success of this celebration, especially our city council, the Brooke County Board of Education, the vendors and our very generous sponsors and the Herald-Star/The Weirton Daily Times and WTOV-TV for their tremendous coverage.
The committee and I would also like to thank everyone for their kind support and positive feedback for our new location.
The picnic in the park was a huge success, with the bands and 12 children beating six adults in the tug of war was unbelievable. The Oil Can Derby on Mark Avenue provided a great new event for our youth.
Our keynote speaker, West Virginia University Athletic Director Oliver Luck, and our honorees provided inspiring insights at our kick-off dinner. After the parade, listening to the McDonald Pipe Band playing "Country Roads" and the West Virginia University Mountaineer blasting his musket on the last note at Steve Meca's house was a Top 10 moment.
The car show, with the dunk tank, was a tremendous time. The Shout band, featuring the Legends of Soul, rocked the house Sunday night, and the Zambelli fireworks provided the greatest grand finale I've ever seen.
When everything was finally wrapped up Sunday night and many of the committee members were taking their first opportunity to catch their breath, we started discussing the 2013 Community Days, and on Monday we were already making calls.
The committee's goal is continuous improvement, and we are planning a bigger and better 2013 Follansbee Community Days as it will mark our 20th anniversary.
Thank for you for coming and celebrating with us in 2012, and we hope to see you in 2013.
God Bless,
David Velegol
Mayor of Follansbee

Boogie Night
The Party
Partygoers found Potiker Theater made over as a sexy, psychedelic lounge with velvety banquettes and dazzling light installations inspired by the gala's headliners, the Flaming Lips. (The iconic rock band originated the music for the 2012 Playhouse hit Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.)
The Scene
Cityscapes projected on massive LED screens conjured graffiti-pop cool. With late-night dancing and a private concert on the program, Jeffrey Strauss of Del Mar's Pamplemousse Grille sent out dinner by the bite, a mini menu of lobster, quail and succulent fillet paired with vintages from gala wine hosts' private collections. A second round of nibbles and cocktails fueled the postconcert shakedown as Zowie Bowie performed into the wee hours.
The Highlights
There was cause for toasting: Hands on a Hardbody, another 2012 sensation, premiered on Broadway. Before a record-breaking paddle raise, Artistic Director Christopher Ashley and Managing Director Michel S. Rosenberg gave a 2013 sneak peek. Hint: Book tickets for His Girl Friday now.

Since Adobe has decided to discontinue support for Flash in Linux, what does that mean for us Ubuntu fanboys and what alternatives are available to us?
IMHO, Flash is on its way out, although it would be an exaggeration to say it's on its deathbed. Flash is incredibly inefficient. A good way to lose an hour of battery life on your laptop is just leave open a few websites that make use of Flash (even seemingly innocuous uses). The iPhone/iPad incompatibility issues (and the subsequent Thoughts on Flash commentary by Steve Jobs) have done a lot to bring this topic to the attention of the general public. Some of it is FUD, but there are good points there, and in any case, the average iPhone user is more than willing to believe The Steve.
Google is already moving away from using Flash on Youtube; HTML5 works on most videos (those without ads) on most platforms and browsers. Facebook is heavily encouraging its app developers to use HTML5, and according to my cursory Google search of "facebook flash"...it's been a while since someone wrote a tutorial website on developing flash apps for Facebook.
Simply put, Flash is not seen as desirable by a lot of people. It is hanging on simply by momentum but a lot of that is getting sapped by the moves of these big game-changing companies.
If Flash is still needed in the future for whatever, you can use Chrome. Opening up an alternate browser once in a while doesn't seem like a big deal for me; I remember having to use Internet Explorer as an alternative to Firefox for things like banking for a couple years until finally everyone caught on and now Firefox is the standard. At least you can get Chrome for Linux (unlike Internet Explorer).
It doesn't mean anything. Flash 11.2 for Linux will be available for 5 years, and the later versions will also continue to be bundled with Google Chrome, so whoever wants it will have to do with that. As for alternatives, there is Gnash.
PS: Do all Ubuntu fanboys like flash?
If you want the latest Flash, just use Google Chrome. Otherwise you will use the old Flash which won't be updated (except for security updates) as stated by Adobe.

11 Modern Technologies That Are Way Older Than You Think
For a long time, we've been able to pride ourselves on the fact that we're smarter than our primitive ancestors. Sure, they made fire and the wheel and invented language, or whatever, but we brought technology.
Turns out a lot of our most technologically sophisticated inventions were already invented, which does nothing but remind us how useless we are.
#11. iPod
Believed to have been invented in...In 2001, if you are a die hard Mac fan. Or 1997, if you are aware cheaper MP3 players existed before Steve Jobs figured out people would pay twice as much to hear their pirated songs on the bus if the MP3 player looked like the bastard son of Eve from Wall-E and a pocket calculator.
Actually Invented in...
In 1979, Kane Kramer and his friend, James Campbell, came up with the idea of a portable music player the size of a cigarette box. The music player baptized as the IXI System stored music digitally in a chip and had a display screen and buttons to navigate it.
They even built five prototypes they showed potential investors. Wow! That sounds amazing! So they sold it, became gazillionaires and everybody listened to ABBA songs they downloaded with their Ataris, right? Well, no, obviously not.
The IXI had one big problem: It only had enough memory for three and a half minutes of music, which does screw you up if you had your heart set on carrying "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" anywhere you went. And how were you supposed to get your music files back in the decades before Napster?
Since almost nobody had computers in those days, Kramer suggested putting terminals in music stores, connected via telephone with a central music server so users could buy and download their music at the store. Keep in mind we're talking about 1979 phone modems, which means Kramer's idea also involved people bringing their own tent and enough food for camping for two months while they downloaded "Funky Town."
#10. The Automobile
Believed to have been invented in...
Late 19th century or early 20th century, or whatever the hell that World of Motion ride at EPCOT said.
Actually Invented in...
A French inventor named Nicolas Joseph Cugnot built one, back before the American Revolution.
Back when most people were blaming their diseases on fairies and the evil eye, Cugnot had one great idea: a horse carriage minus the stupid, smelly horse. In 1769, he finally finished his horseless carriage; a steam-engine-powered automobile that looked like a steampunk Big Wheel.
It could carry four tons while traveling at the break-neck speed of two and a half miles per hour (people had really weak necks in those days).
Why did we never read about Napoleon's mechanized, steam-powered army trampling England under their godless robotic wheels? Well, the inventions had problems. While testing his vehicle in 1771, Cugnot lost control and discovered the unique sensation we've come to know as "crashing into a brick wall." You might think that you could laugh off such a crash at five miles an hour, but try it while sitting in one of these bastards.
Despite being an undeniably revolutionary invention, it was still slow, heavy and horrible to drive. Cugnot ran out of money to improve his invention, and while the French government was interested in continuing with the idea, a little uprising of the people called the French Revolution put an end to that.
Cugnot escaped to Belgium where he lived in poverty. Fun fact: There were about 600-700 million people on earth when Cugnot was born. That's also how many cars there are now.
#9. Heat Rays
Believed to have been invented in...
In 2007, headlines blared that the US military had unveiled an unstoppable weapon in the war against comfortable temperatures. The Active Denial System looks like a car that can catch scrambled porn channel signals, but its purpose is far more sinister and less useful: It shoots a beam that heats people's skin to an uncomfortable 122 degrees Fahrenheit.
That sounds low, but remember the idea is to disperse crowds, not turn people into ash, War of the Worlds-style.
Actually Invented in...
"Dammit! The naked guy walked into the picture again!"
Well you could go all the way back to before 400 BC, when polished surfaces could be used to focus sunlight to ignite fires or cauterize wounds. But heat rays only got interesting in 212 BC when Archimedes supposedly built a heat ray to burn down enemy ships to defend the city of Syracuse.
As our commenters will be glad to point out, many scientists consider Archimedes' heat ray a myth, including the guys from Mythbusters. But some equally smart people disagree.
Doctor Ioannis Sakkas, a Greek engineer with the name of a Star Trek villain, conducted experiments in 1973 to prove that Archimedes crazy ass death ray was possible. Instead of using one giant mirror like others who tried and failed, Sakkas used 50 human sized bronze mirrors that, when reflecting light unto the same small wooden boat, managed to ignite it in a short time.
And as any scientist can tell you, when confronted with two possible theories, the scientific method dictates that we must go with the one that is awesome.
#8. The Computer
Believed to have been invented in...
Some time around World War II, by Alan Turing or by Konrad Zuse, depending on whether you ask Alan Turing or Konrad Zuse.
Actually Invented in...
Some time around 1833. Charles Babbage was a man who hated errors. Mistakes and mathematical untidiness burned his ass so much he decided to build a ludicrously complex machine just to stop idiots from not doing math right.
In 1822, Babbage proposed the idea of building a mechanical calculator to tabulate polynomial functions. The British government, or those officials who didn't fall asleep while Babbage explained the idea, gave him a huge bag of money with a pound sign painted on it and sent him to work on it. 10 years later they finally figured out Babbage was never going to finish the machine because he was an insufferable ass who pissed off everyone who tried to help him.
By that time Charles had already moved on to bigger things. He looked at his awesome polynomial functions tabulator and thought "You know what's more rad than polynomial functions? A machine you could program to do all different kinds of math!" And so he conceived the Analytical Engine. And he built it and then laid back and played Grand Theft Horse Carriage: Manchester happily ever after, or he would have if he had ever managed to finish a damn thing in his life.
He asked the British Association for the Advancement of Science for funds, and was promptly denied, since all of their money was presumably tied up with a guy who said he could cure the evil eye with some leeches or something.
The last version of the machine read programs and data from punch cards and had a memory capable of storing 1,000 numbers with 50 decimal digits each, which roughly translates to 20.7 Kb. Only a partial model was finished, when Babbage died in 1878 while still trying to perfect the design.
As a side note, Babbage's invention lead to the invention of a new career. Augusta Ada King, countess of Lovelace, created the first program for the never finished machine (a program to calculate Bernoulli numbers) becoming the world's first programmer.
Programmers should still be required to wear this.
#7. Submarines
Believed to have been invented in...
Most people will either tell you World War I or 1870, the year Jules Verne predicted the invention in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
Actually Invented in...
The first description of a submersible ship that did not involve magic, witches or copious amounts of booze actually came in 1580 from William Bourne, an English inn keeper who designed a way for ships to decrease and increase volume to change density. Since Bourne was an inn keeper and preferred to breathe air, the world had to wait until 1623 for the first submarine to actually be built. Dutchman Cornelius Drebbel's submarine was propelled by 12 oarsmen and could sink to a depth of 15 feet.
Since people like to beat the crap out of each other so much, the world only had to wait another 30 years for the first war submarine. Tired of Van Damme being its only weapon, Belgium built a submarine for war.
The good old US of A then got in on the action, trying to use submarines in the revolutionary war. In 1776 Ezra Lee piloted the Turtle, a submarine built by 16-year-old Yale alumni, David Bushnell. The Turtle's weapon was a drill to make holes in enemy ships and put time bombs into the holes. We can only guess patriot general Wile. E. Coyote came up with that one.
You apparently had to operate the drill with your dick.
#6. Video Games
Believed to have been invented in...
1972, the year Pong and the Magnavox Odyssey came out.
Actually Invented in...
1948, when Thomas Goldsmith Jr., a professor of physics at Furman University, patented his horrendously badly named idea, the Cathode Ray Tube Amusement Device.
The Amusement Device was based off old military radar displays, which were just dots on a screen. They figured you could put some kind of overlay on the screen with pictures of aliens on it or whatever, and you'd have a rudimentary game where you could shoot projectiles at the bad guys. Despite being only kinda crappy, it was still too expensive to be marketable and only a few prototypes were ever built.
The second video game came out three years later. British electronics company Ferranti built the NIMROD, a computer designed to play one game and one game only, the classic game of NIM.
Go on, play NIM online so you can relive the forgotten golden age of video games: we'll wait.
Back? Yeah, that sucked; especially because the bastard computer keeps winning (obviously, it cheats!). Like all computers from those days, it was the size of Adam West's Bat-computer, and simulated a game that's played with 16 match sticks. So the first computer game was only useful if you were the world's greatest NIM player, or just extremely short on matchsticks.

7 Classic Disney Movies Based On R-Rated Stories
#3. Hercules: Murders His Children
The Disney Happy Ending:
In the Disney version we have our hero Hercules versus Hades, who tries to take out Hercules by sending Meg, a woman whose job it is to find Hercules' weakness. As she is a moderately attractive 18- to 25-year-old woman, she falls in love with him instead as required by Disney law.
Since his first plan failed so miserably, Hades gets Hercules to give up his powers in exchange for Meg's safety, which seems like a reasonable trade until you remember that Hades is like Satan with more gold trim, so he predictably goes back on his word.
He seemed like a decent guy.
As Hercules is fighting a Cyclops, Meg pushes him out of the way of a falling column and is killed, which restores Hercules' powers just in time for him to save the world and bring her back to life.
The Original Ending:
First of all, the Greeks depicted Hercules as a rampant sexual beast, taking whatever woman he liked before hitting a mid life crisis and being told to settle down. He got married to Megara, but without the help of Hades, a Cyclops or a Motown-inspired soundtrack. They do live happily ever after, right up until he gets driven insane by the goddess Hera and heroically murders the shit out of Megara and all his children.
"Do you see this arm? They didn't stand a goddamn chance."
After regaining his senses, Heracles is consumed by guilt, which is understandable after killing your entire family for absolutely no reason. To try and make amends, he engages in 12 trials that include defeating powerful monsters and shoveling shit out of some horse stables, until he eventually gets killed by a blanket. Maybe they're saving all of that for one of those direct-to-DVD sequels they do.
#2. Tarzan: Doesn't Get the Girl, Everyone is Miserable
The Disney Happy Ending:
The evil Clayton, out for some good old fashioned monkey-snatching, locks up Tarzan and Jane on his ship. But Tantor the Elephant crashes through and rescues them, both from Clayton and from the fact that a five-ton animal probably couldn't safely trample all over the deck of a rickety 19th century boat.
We can spot at least three glaring inaccuracies in this picture.
Tarzan rushes to the aid of the gorillas and vanquishes Clayton in the most disturbing fashion since,well, since the last Disney animated feature actually.
In the end, the prim and proper English girl Jane is on her way back to Victorian Britain when she has a change of heart and dives into the ocean. She reunites with Tarzan where we can safely assume she feeds him tea, makes him wear an ascot and claims the island under the Queen's rule. Chalk another one up for the Empire.
"And here's the part where we annex India for 200 years!"
The Original Ending:
Jane is surrounded by plenty of potential suitors (including Clayton himself) who aren't hulking ape men, yet she still falls for Tarzan. Before she can admit it to herself, though, she leaves for America and considers marrying another man to pay off her father's debts.
Meanwhile, Tarzan suits up and follows her across an entire continent to rescue her from a forest fire that was presumably waiting around until the plot required it. Afterwards, he confesses his undying love for her, and Jane admits she feels the same way. But by this time she's engaged to Clayton, and because this is the 19th century there is absolutely nothing she can do about it.
Left on his own, Tarzan receives a telegram that reveals him as the rightful heir to Clayton's estate and all the property that comes with it (which includes Jane, because women are things). Instead of saying the word, kicking Clayton out of his own house and claiming Jane for tax purposes, he chooses to stay silent, thinking that Jane is happy being with Clayton. And... that's it. He simply sacrifices his happiness for Jane's misery.
#1. The Hunchback of Notre Dame: Necrophilia
The Disney Happy Ending:
Children learn an important lesson in the actions of the celibate antagonist, Frollo: If you are sexually frustrated by a wayward gypsy, just set her on fire and everything will work itself out.
There's no way he doesn't have a boner right now.
Meanwhile, Quasimodo the hunchback watches from his bell tower, held back by chains but also by his crippling lack of self worth.
He busts free and rescues Esmeralda while Phoebus, the nearest Aryan man, starts smashing shit up and generally being the hero that all the pretty ladies will swoon for. The evil Frollo is cast into the flames that somehow always appear at the end of Disney films to consume the bad guys and Quasimodo gives Esmeralda to Phoebus, teaching us that a good heart and noble deeds don't mean shit if you're uglier than the inside of a hotdog. He is raised aloft by the crowd and carried through the streets in celebration.
The Original Ending:
Like Kipling, Victor Hugo wasn't big on that Hollywood bullshit.
In the original, Esmeralda has three potential suitors waiting to bump uglies, while Quasimodo is just some deaf, ugly retard watching her from his tower. She makes it very obvious to our hero that she finds him a hideous mess but he's smitten. One of the suitors, Phoebus, shows up and has his way with her. He then gets stabbed in the back by Frollo, who pins the attack on Esmeralda.
Instead of setting her on fire, Frollo arranges to have her hung in the public square. Then at the last minute she is rescued by...
...Nobody. She just dies.
After her death, Quasimodo tosses Frollo off the top of the goddamn cathedral before he sneaks into Esmeralda's grave and curls around her body. He lays there like that until he eventually dies of starvation.

Let $C$ be a category with zero morphisms, kernels and cokernels. Let $m$ be a kernel, $e$ be a cokernel and assume that is defined the composition $e\circ m$. Assume that $e\circ m$ has image; it's a normal monomorphism?
The answer is always yes in category of groups: for let $H,K$ be two normal subgroup of group $G$; let $m:H\to G$ be the inclusion and $e:G\to G/K$ be the projection; then the image of $e\circ m$ is $HK/K$ which is a normal subgroup of $G/K$.

Foreword to "The Wellness Community Guide: Fighting for Recovery from Cancer"
Susan Love, MD
Last Modified: May 25, 1997
One of the major contributors to the psychosocial support of people with cancer in this country has come not from the medical profession, but from an enthusiastic, dedicated layman who had a vision. Harold H. Benjamin started The Wellness Community after his wife was treated for breast cancer. The Wellness Community over the years has grown to include 16 facilities throughout the country and continues to thrive. It thrives in large part because it helps people with cancer focus on Wellness rather than disease. Over the years, Harold Benjamin has refined his vision and now presents it for us in this timely book. This book will allow anyone to benefit from the philosophy of The Wellness Community and to become a "patient active."
There is one statement which I hate making more than any other...."I am sorry I have bad news for you, you have cancer." There is no way I can say these words and make them sound good. This is bad news to the recipient any way I phrase it. And there is one reaction....shock. Everyone I have ever known has first reacted with a feeling of total shock. This can't be true. She isn't talking about me. It must be some mistake. This shock is overwhelming, numbing and universal. Eventually the shock wears off. That is where the differences lie. That is when each person chooses how they are going to deal with this unwelcome visitor in their life. It is a choice and an important one. It is this choice that Harold Benjamin and The Wellness Community address so well in this book. Does it matter? Well, as Harold Benjamin almost promises, you will probably improve the quality of your life when you become a patient active. Is it possible you might even live longer? Everything is possible.
Although many of us have believed for a long time that there is a mind body connection, it was the recent work of David Spiegel which finally made it all scientific. He took women with metastatic breast cancer and randomized them between participating in a support group and getting their regular care. Many years later when he followed up on the women, he found to his surprise that the women who had participated in the support group had lived an average 18 months longer than those who hadn't. This remarkable study proved once and for all that there really is a physical change which comes with support and community. These support groups included much of the approach found in this book. Visualization, stress reduction, doctor patient relationships and interpersonal relationships. Why do these ephemeral "touchy feely" approaches to cancer recovery work....I am convinced they change the environment the cancer exists in and help tip the balance against the cancer cell and in your favor. Do they always work? Of course not. Nothing always works. But they may well work. And what do you have to lose?
Harold Benjamin gives you his almost promise that you will feel better no matter what. So what are you waiting for? You have followed all of your doctor's prescriptions and now it is time to follow your own and become a "patient active." You'll change the environment around you and you'll feel better, your family will feel better and--who knows--maybe the cancer will feel worse.

I am trying to find 3D model of brains. I am particularly interested in adult-male -brains in Blender-model. I could find such 3D models of brains for sale here but because I am researching I would like to use some open-sourced candidate so anyone could preview things. So does there exist 3D models of brains in Blender?
There is a model of an adult, male, real human brain here: http://brainder.org/download/brain-for-blender/
It can be imported into Blender or any other 3D application that can read Wavefront OBJ or Stanford PLY formats.
That one is only 30 which really isn't bad for a model. You will have trouble finding an anatomically correct model for free.
I am curious, is the male brain that much different from the female brain? And do you want just the brain or a whole head with the skeleton and other anatomical features? And if you would like to elaborate, I am curious about what end product you are looking for.
Side note: Autodesk has 'student' license version of software --in case you want to try learning Maya or 3Ds max, the latter has Retopology tools. You can download from here: https://students.autodesk.com/?nd=download_center
ITKsnap is a program you could use to get 3d data from ct or mri scans http://www.itksnap.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Downloads MRI and CT data can be found here: http://www.osirix-viewer.com/Downloads.html
I know you just wanted a free model, but the above are the steps to get to one at least.
I think all models are too generic out there. Radiological models you can find in imaios.com's e-Anatomy where the Premium access gives you some RTG, CT and MRI videos which you can combine to form some 3D models. I am working with the visualization of CNS lymphatic vessels here where I would like to create thin membranes to visualize how deep the lymphatic circulation goes.

The 5 Coolest Pets Humanity Has Bred into Existence
#4. Silver Foxes: As Friendly as Dogs, as Independent as Cats
Dave Bezaire & Susi Havens-Bezaire
In the 1950s Soviet Union, a young man named Dmitry Belyaev became fascinated with the domestication of dogs from wild, ravenous wolves into the fluffy, couch-hogging companions of today. Belyaev set his sights on replicating this process, only A) much faster and B) this time instead of those fancy wolves, he went with the silver fox as his subject. And he nailed it.
New York Times
"Come to me, minions!"
Belyaev carefully selected the friendliest, tamest foxes and made them bone. In just a few fox-generations, the furballs were bonding with the scientists, craving any attention they could get. They wagged their tails more and more, started getting floppier ears and spotted coats and became more doglike in their behavior.
Today, this has resulted in a breed of foxes that is "as devoted as dogs but as independent as cats." And yes, they're totally selling these little guys as pets, with the price tag currently set at $7,000. Here, have a video of a pet silver fox pup:
Look at that thing go. Look at that little ball made of fluff and mischief and tell us you're not reaching for your wallet already.
Of course, like with every proper scientific experiment, there's a flip side to Project Silver Fox. See, Belyaev was never content with just creating cute, tame foxes. To prove that domestication and tameness were linked to a specific gene, he also sought out the meanest, most dangerous foxes and intentionally started breeding those. And that branch of his experiment was a roaring success as well. That's right -- even today, Russia is totally breeding a small army of genetically engineered, highly aggressive killer silver foxes. And they look exactly like your new, cuddly pet.
Animals Zone
Which leaves the owner vulnerable to a dangerous switcheroo.

Few years ago I saw an Aussie comedian on American Comedy Central show (likely Premium Blend or the like, with short bits each comedian got to perform), who made jokes about Steve Irwin (not sure if before or after death).
The jokes were based on ridiculousness of what Irwin did, as "Let's pick up this gigantic croc and move it over there!" or "Of course he [the snake] is grumpy! You poking him with a stick!"
I had been searching to identify this comedian for years based on just those memories, and always came up short. Can someone at least point me in the right direction?

On a unit torus $T^n$ (or equivalently, on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with periodic boundary conditions), the linear Helmholtz equation:
$\nabla^2 \phi + k^2 \phi=0$
will have no non-trivial solutions for generic values of $k$, while for special values of $k$ it will have a finite-dimensional vector space of solutions, with a basis of functions:
$\phi_m(x)=\exp(2\pi i m_j x^j)$
for each $n$-tuple of integers $m=(m_1,m_2,...m_n)$ such that:
Now, consider a non-linear version of this problem, such as:
$\nabla^2 \phi + k^2 \phi + \lambda \phi^3=0$
still on $T^n$. The solutions will no longer comprise a vector space, but rather a manifold.
My question is: how can I determine the cardinality of the dimension of that manifold? Will it again be zero-dimensional generically and finite for some special parameter values, or will the behaviour change?


text: Andy Sixx; a newcomer in the music industry these days. I've been getting a lot of requests for this guy, mainly because he's been getting popular lately. Andy is the main singer/vocals of the band "Black Viel Brides", which highly reminds me of "Bullet For My Valentine". Personally, I listen to neither but since lots of girls have been raving about Andy, I thought maybe I'd submit a nice little lesson on "how to draw Andy Sixx", step. The makeup, the hairstyle all looks a bit similar to Gerard Way (huge fan here!), a popular singer of the ongoing band of "My Chemical Romance". The style that's being formed in society today is getting quite the crowd, as well as creating new bands in the particular style. The drawing took me a few hours this time, mainly because of the makeup and the large rat's nest type hairstyle (there were tons of strands I drew to make it similar to the reference picture I used). There are barely any real photos of Andy which made it very hard to get a good reference photo. Most pictures of him are either side, top ¾, sideways ¾, or just a total view from the top. If you're wandering, Andy Sixx is straight, he is I believe, 20 years old and 6' 2" (pretty tall guy!). I had a bit of fun with the painting of the face, as well as the eyes. I wanted to create super pretty blue eyes to accent his face a bit better. I recommend for you to get yourself a set of sketching pencils for the process of this tutorial. "Drawing Andy Sixx" may be bit of a hassle because of the heavy duty shading work that's required for this tutorial. Though I rate this lesson on an "Intermediate" level, I'm pretty sure anyone can succeed! I hope you'll enjoy this tutorial "how to draw Andy Sixx from Black Viel Brides"! Thank you so much for viewing and good luck!

Fletcher and the Falling Leaves by Julia Rawlinson
Recommended age: 4 and up
Why do the leaves change color? Why do they fall from the trees? If your curious kid has asked you these questions, don't worry — Fletcher the fox is wondering, too. When all the leaves on his favorite tree turn brown and fall off, he tries in vain to catch and reattach them. Although Fletcher's mother explains that the cause is simply the change of seasons, he doesn't fully believe her until he sees the splendor of snowy branches in winter.

Which minifigure configuration has been included in the most sets? I'm looking for the color of the head, arms, hands, legs, pelvis, and torso as well as the facial expression and any headgear. Please include an image of this minifigure doppleganger.
So far, the best I can think of is the red classic space guy which appeared in 46 sets.
Considering minifigs were less specialized back then, I bet the winner is in that time period anyway, and the fact that spacemen wore an uniform makes me think there is no other minifig apperaing in 46 sets. Even the basic city worker only reaches a pale 21 sets.
The Skeleton with Basic Skull appears in 42 sets. If you include the sets that have the same figure only with different headgear, the number of sets is 56.
If you had one of every set in peeron's database:
Torso: 973 - A plain torso - Black
Head: 3626ap01 - Normal plain smile - Yellow
Legs: 970c00 - Plain legs - Black
Their database is not complete, I haven't been able to find data for colour of hands or arms, and this is for each peice individually, not the minifigure as a whole, but I think it's the best that can be done.
This image isn't very good quality, but I had a go in Photoshop...

Old Code and Old Licenses
By webmink on Feb 12, 2009
I was in Brussels at the weekend to attend FOSDEM, one of the handful of "real" Free software developer conferences I attend each year (another is LCA which I went to in Hobart two weeks ago). I was once again honoured to be able to briefly speak to the assembled audience as I did two years ago. This time I announced a small license change to some obscure code, written before the GPL was finalised, to fix a problem for Linux.
Why would that interest anyone? Well, the code in question is the original implementation of Sun RPC, which went on to become RFC 1057 and today is a core part of every UNIX-family operating system. Including Debian GNU/Linux.
The way the code was originally licensed was exceptionally liberal. Written in 1984 or earlier (before the GPL existed), it allowed unfettered use of the Sun RPC implementation in any program for any purpose. The only significant restriction imposed, entirely reasonable to most eyes then, was to say that the module itself could not be sold as-is, only as part of a larger work.
What was liberal is now conservative
Times change. During the 80s, Richard Stallman's Free Software movement established the four freedoms. During the 90s (1994-7), the Debian Free Software Guidelines established a need for the code in their distribution of GNU/Linux to be fully Free software. By the beginning of this decade, Debian maintainers were making a serious effort to audit the millions of lines of code in Debian for true DFSG compliance. And in 2002, they found the old Sun RPC code in core Linux files glibc and portmap.
Reading the history for Debian bug 181493 tells the next part of the story. Inside Sun, the challenge of finding the code in question was Just Too Hard, and the things reached an uneasy impasse.
The issue came back to life last year when the bug was re-asserted as part of the run-up to the Lenny release. I was contacted both by folk at Debian - notably my friend Ean Schuessler - and at Fedora asking if there was anything I could do to accelerate licensing of the old code. Both projects had decided to take a hard line and removing the code from glibc and portmap was going to be a real headache, especially for the stability of glibc.
The task of relicensing old code can be pretty time consuming and involves people who are already much in demand.
- First, the old code is often very old. The people who wrote it are no longer with the company, it is no longer part of a current product, we sometimes can't even be sure it ever came from Sun. We have to find the original code if we're to make any progress at all. Doing so might mean retrieving crates of paper from long-term storage and crawling through them.
- Second, once the code is located, a legal expert has to look at the origins of the code and maybe once again crawl through retrieved paperwork to find the contracts behind the code. Their job is to determine if Sun actually has the right to change the license at all.
- Third, someone has to believe it is their job with respect to the code in question to act on Sun's behalf to evaluate the change, authorise it and bind the company officially.
With help both from Ean and friends at Debian and from the Fedora team at Red Hat, we managed to identify some modern OpenSolaris code that matched the code in Linux. This was a key step. It meant we could trace ownership through the comprehensive records for OpenSolaris and start the process moving. By last week, we finally reached the point where we felt comfortable to relicense the Sun code involved.
On Saturday I was able to tell Europe's Free Software developers that the licenses on the RPC code are no longer a barrier to Free software - we'll change the license to Sun's copyrights in the RPC code to a standard 3-clause BSD license, allowing inheritance of that licensing by both Debian and Fedora. I'm delighted to have been able to fix this problem, which arose not because of failure but because of the success of software freedom over many years and becuase of Sun's early commitment to it.

What movie are you looking for that's not available on Blu-ray?
It's not a perfect movie, but I do like "Open Range" with Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall. Unfortunately, the only Blu-ray version available is an import, which makes it more pricey.
What movies are you waiting for in Blu-ray?
13 Answers answer
The original Star Wars trilogy, unedited.
@tsfisch: I heard Lucas shot that first.
Good call on Open Range, one of the few good Kevin Costner films that doesn't involve baseball.
As for the Q... The Great Escape. One of my favorite Steve McQueen films.
Grandma's Boy.
LOVE that movie. So much awesome and hilarity throughout the whole time.
@curtisuxor: I see what you did there....very clever
I had been waiting and waiting for the U.S. release of Almost Famous and was going to put it on this list. But I see that is has been JUST (as in this month) been reissued. Cameron Crowe added back 23 minutes of footage fleshing out the characater of Penny Lane (Kate Hudson). I'll add this as a deal over on the other side: "Bootleg Cut" blu ray, which includes a "Stillwater" CD for 14 bucks.
I've been looking for a cheesy movie called Scavenger Hunt that wasn't even released on DVD!
Aladdin!!! The "20th Anniversary" Blu-Ray has now been pushed back to being released on its 22nd anniversary (Spring 2014). Even as of a few months ago it was going to be Spring 2013 and then they decided to make way for bigger fanfare over Peter Pan's 60th anniversary.
I'd like to see Revolution released on Bluray, but I don't hold out much hope. Until a couple of years ago the only DVD copies I could find were imports from other countries, which is pretty crazy considering it's a movie about the American Revolution and stars Al Pacino and Donald Sutherland.
@proxgotsthafia: It is on BR already. Also in Netflix instant in HD.
Gandahar! (aka Light Years)
I saw that when I was a kid.
Don't remember much about it, just remember seeing it.
@wickedd365: I read that release is region locked. I haven't been able to find the specs (region, resolution/codec, audio format) for it on any reputable Blu-ray site.
I've watched it on Netflix a time or two, but I'd really like to have access to a version of better quality.

Three months after his untimely death, legendary actor Sherman Hemsley still has not been buried.
Hemsley died on July 24, however, according to a funeral home employee Hemsley remains at the San Jose Funeral Home in El Paso, Texas.
The funeral home claims they are waiting for a court order to find out what to do with his body.
In August, reports surfaced that his best friend & "business partner," Flora Enchinton, and his alleged brother, Richard Thornton, were fighting over his estate which is worth a reported $50,000.
Now a another man, Reverend Michael George Wells, claims he is the cousin of Hemsley and says he and his family are entitled to a piece of Hemsley's estate. Wells says the other parties claiming to be relatives or close to Hemsley are illegitimate.
"What the media needs to know is that Sherman Hemsley's body being in the refrigerator for this amount of time is unnecessary and uncalled for. He could have been buried with his family within a week or ten days of his passing," Wells told a news outlet.
Wells also believes Hemsley's estate is worth more than $50,000, saying the reported value is incorrect.
Until the various parties are able to settle their dispute, Hemsley will remain unburied.
A representative for Hemsley has yet to comment on the story.

DHA represents up to 97% of the omega-3 fats in the brain.
Major infant brain growth occurs during pregnancy and throughout the first two years of life. During these times, infants have the greatest need for Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Arachidonic Acid (ARA). Both are important nutrients that have been shown to help brain development. Infants must obtain DHA and ARA from their diets, so it is important that parents provide them a diet that includes adequate amounts of both nutrients. Breast milk is the preferred way for infants to consume these nutrients, but if breast milk is not an option, it is recommended that the infant should be fed only supplemented formulas which contain both DHA and ARA.
Specifically, some studies have had the following results:
Certain studies have shown that infants who received optimal levels of DHA during gestation exhibited:
Certain studies have also shown that infants fed formula supplemented with DHA and ARA exhibited:
Preterm infants who were fed DHA and ARA supplemented formula exhibited normal growth in terms of weight, length and head circumference and improved visual and mental development.

The title basically says it all. My Samsung Series 9 900X3C ultrabook's battery is in the deep red around barely three hours after disconnecting it from the power - and during most of that time the screen wasn't even on. No heavy lifting, no video playback, nothing. Just a browser with static sites was open.
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS drains my Samsung Series 9 900X3C ultrabook's battery extremely fast. Is there anything I can do to fix that?
Check the power consumption by your laptop using powertop and use TLP to fine tune it.
Check out below link how to use the utility: http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/docs/tlp-linux-advanced-power-management.html
This tool greatly helped me to reduce power consumption of my laptop.
Look into a tool called powertop, it should be in your repository. (
Also, if you have discrete graphics, such as Nvidia Optimus, could it be that the video card is powered up even when you're not using it? If so, try using Bumblebee (in your repo, again apt-get) to control when it's on and off. Or if you don't use discrete graphics, you can probably just turn it off entirely in the BIOS.
EDIT: Looks like there's a documented bug in Ubuntu/Linux/the driver. See these related questions too:
From that, it looks like you need to power down that audio output that's churning away. I'm not sure how, but I would go through that and experiment how. I found those questions and the bug, BTW, for searching "audio codec hwc0d0 powertop" - similar searches might be productive, as well as the discussion on that bug report.
