青 ao seems to be used very much interchangeably for both blue and green. Why is that so, and how does 緑 midori play into this?

Beside some of the historical examples mentioned by Derek, there is also an inherent nuance that separates 青 from 'blue', as it is commonly understood in Western culture (and similarly, albeit less strongly, for 緑 and 'green'). This is not unique to Japanese-English and probably applicable to any pairs of sufficiently separate cultures: colours are, for a large part, an artificial construct and there is only limited reasons two people should pick the same arbitrary frontier along the green-blue continuum (or red-orange, or yellow-green etc). I recommend digging in Google Scholar for more on that, but it's worth mentioning that there is much debate on what the causes and extent of these differences between cultures are.
Anyway, back to 青/緑: leaving aside the fact that the past 100 years of intermingling with Western culture have no doubt influenced the native Japanese perception of these colours, there is still a real difference between the range of what a Japanese will call 青い and a Westerner call 'blue' (talking about pure colours here, not objects' traditional colours, which might be tied to historical reasons). 'Blue' for 青 and 'green' for 緑 are just approximations (as are probably most other native colour translations).
A diagram might be the easiest way to put it. Assuming that horizontal line represents the true continuum of hues from blue to green, and the vertical bars, the separation between the two colours in Japanese and English respectively, you'd have:
As a result, when talking about something on the far left (say, the sky) or the far right (say, fresh verdure), both English and Japanese words agree quite well. If you pick things that are in that middle area where the definitions do not match, you get these quizzical looks and people arguing "what do you mean green? it's obviously blue!" etc.
Sorry for the longwinded answer to what is a fairly basic/obvious point... ;-)
This page in the 日本語Q&A over at ALC addresses this question. Apparently the historical definition of 青【あお】, even when defined narrowly, covered an entire range of colors which are today separated as 青【あお】, 緑【みどり】, and 藍【あい】 (indigo). This trend carried into the modern language, and many words which refer to things that are actually 緑【みどり】 still use 青【あお】: 青葉【あおば】 and 青竹【あおだけ】 are two examples given on the linked page. (This in spite of the fact that 緑【みどり】 has existed alongside 青【あお】 all this time.)
Apparently when traffic signals came along, 緑信号【みどりしんごう】 was the official name at first, but it was eventually overtaken by 青信号【あおしんごう】 in common use and this latter name became the official term.
This partially also has to do with the fact that in old Japanese they only used four colours: あか・あお・しろ・くろ. Obviously, with this limitation, あお came to represent a wide range of different cool shades. Then once more "colours started to be used", a lot of things retained their original descriptions as あお.
Edit: Here is that handout I have from my Japanese teacher which I describe below in the comment. It is from a book she has, but I don't have the reference for it.

I've only attempted this once, and it was a complete disaster. Can anyone provide some tips for a beginner?
I haven't tried this before but I found this youtube video that shows you how. Cut into the mango, starting where the stem was and going around the long way, just in to the pit. Reach in with a spoon and scoop around the pit, separating one half of the mango from the pit. Then scoop the pit out of the other side.
The reason I peel only half at a time is so I have something (the remaining peel) to grip as I slice the mango.
The pit is flat and thin and surrounded with a lot of fiber and most of the meat. The best solution is to cut the mango into 3 "slices" (||), starting at the stem end, and cutting as close to the pit as possible. Use a sharp knife. The middle slice will have the pit and a small amount of meat and skin around the edge. You can peel the skin and chew the meat at the edge of the pit, but there isn't a whole lot.
In most countries where mangos are native, slicing a mango is anathema - they're eaten at the point at which they're 'like a woman' (use your imagination) i.e. fragrant, perfumed, melting, soft and very juicy.
If you must slice, generally you can get 2-4 'slices' as @Crispy suggest and then, with a bib on, or best of all, in the bath, you slurp away at the hairy delight that is the stone of a properly ripe mango.
There are devices that can make this rather arduous task easier.
I haven't used on personally but they have been reccomended by friends.
Typically you just cut the flesh around the pit. If the mango ripeness is right (soft but not mushy) you'll get nice chunks of mango and minimum mess.
I've used Alton Brown's technique for preparing mango with success before.
It involves cutting a disk off the top and bottom so you have a flat way to set the mango down and then slicing along the pit to cut off the two big "cheeks" and then the two narrower "fingers". You can either peel the mango before or after. He also shows an easy way to cube the mango.
Separate the meaty part or cheeks of the mango by slicing slightly above where the tree stem and the fruit used to connect. After separating the cheeks", get a water glass and use it to slide half a "cheek" of the mango into the glass and separate from the skin. You do that without peeling the mango.

This week US Politics Today highlighted a case study about how NYC Department of Probation is using Pentaho Business Analytics to gain visibility into the lives of 35,000 convicted felons, helping them get back into their communities and building productive lives under a monitored probation program.
At the heart of NYC Department of Probation's mission to "restructuring lives" is powerful analytics, giving the department access to massive amounts of data, such as detailed information on the background of the men, women and young people being supervised, the types of crimes that they have committed and their progress.
This is a vivid example on how powerful analytics is empowering public sector and government organizations to improve their performance, streamline their administration services, and ultimately help the public. Business Analytics is no longer a novelty specifically made for investors, financial analysts, and executive managers. Today business analytics serves all.
Anibal Sempertegui, director of information technology, software, New York City Department of Probation explained, "Because of Pentaho's open source business model, we can affordable to make it accessible throughout our department and use it to facilitate data integration with other city departments as well. Overall, the New York City Department of Probation has realized huge cost savings with Pentaho Business Analytics. We figure that we are paying 80 percent less than we would with a commercial business intelligence application for licensing, maintenance and support."
Growing populations, presidential budget proposals, and new economic developments calls for smart investment in business analytics in all areas of the government including:
- Health and Human Services
- Social Security Administration
- Defense
- Treasury
- Criminal Justice
- Transportation
- Education
- And more….
Government agencies can now 'Occupy' powerful business analytics with Pentaho at 80 percent less cost than proprietary vendors. Learn more about how Pentaho helps NYC Department of Probation police its data.

text: Hey guys! I'm back with another drawing tutorial, and it's on something adorable! A member by the name of Hawkheart considered that I draw a baby seal in the water to add company to this seemingly shy baby polar bear. This animal is one of my favorites to draw in baby form, because they look like little pudge balls of white fur. I'll give you a few tips and tricks on 'drawing baby polar bears' the easy way. Consider getting yourself a pencil, eraser, and some decent paper (depending on what you plan to do with the drawing) to get started. This tut should be easy to follow and draw from. If you want to draw this style of bear in various poses, I would recommend checking National Geographic's polar bear cubs references. Take your time and try not to rush yourself! Peace and love :)

rtc0 in
IRQ8 which is for RTC shows only 1 interrupt on CPU0. I have read that when booting the value of the xtime variable is stored from the Real time Clock and whether this interrupt is 1 because of this?
And also what would be the value of the xtime variable? Is it the number of seconds passed after epoch?

About the Program
This Program is for students pursuing a first BA degree and is compatible with most liberal arts majors, as well as interdisciplinary concentrations, such as Public Policy and Human Rights. The Program also provides the opportunity for students to design a personalized interdisciplinary major.
Students in BA programs who have accumulated between 24 and 60 credits (at least 24 of which are Hunter credits, 15 Hunter credits for transfer students) with a 3.65 or better cumulative average are invited to be interviewed for the Program. These interviews are conducted in the early fall and spring by members of the Council on Honors.
[ back to top ]
- Students in the Thomas Hunter Honors Program are required to take three special interdisciplinary honors colloquia, for which they must receive a grade of B- or better. The three interdisciplinary colloquia are the core of the Thomas Hunter Honors Program. Students must take one colloquium in their first year in the Program and two thereafter. While the specific content of these courses varies from semester to semester, the underlying principles remain the same. The colloquia offer breadth of exposure, but even more importantly, they demonstrate how knowledge gained from a variety of disciplines can be related and integrated in an effort to understand complex processes and phenomena. All of these colloquia are writing intensive.
Students in the Thomas Hunter Honors Program are released from strict compliance with some provisions of the General Education Requirements, but the Thomas Hunter Honors Program requires that all students take or be exempted from expository writiing. Students are expected to maintain breadth in their programs, and to create a significant pattern of courses, approved by a Council advisor, in an academic division other than that of their primary concentration. in the are of Science and Mathematics, it is required that students take a course with a lab component. All students at Hunter must complete the Pluralism and Diversity requirement. Students entering Hunter in Fall 2001 and later are required to complete the foreiign requirement as well.
- There are two levels of honors colloquia:
- The 200-level colloquium is always taught by one professor, usually a member of the Council on Honors, who attacks a specific problem using materials and methodologies of two or more disciplines. Students may take more than one of these colloquia if they so desire, even if they are juniors or seniors, but at least one should be taken in their first year in the Program.
- The 300-level colloquium usually involves two professors from two different areas, who focus on a given problem. Occasionally, 300-level colloquia are taught by only one professor, but in those cases there are invited guest speakers from different areas. Students may also take more than one of these colloquia if they so desire.
"Evolution of Scientific Thought" - Reality is a concept that has been the focus of philosophers and scientists. Many issues blend science with culture, often in subtle ways. Questions regarding reality itself open an entirely new perspective on the issues. What is reality? Is what we observe real? The answers to these questions are not as transparent as one might think. This 200-level colloquium explores philosophical and scientific views of reality in the Western tradition from antiquity to the modern and postmodern era.
"Aesthetics" - This 200-level colloquium examines questions about beauty and art as well as the relationship between aesthetic experience and the creative possibilities it affords us in our pursuits of truth, justice, community, and our search for a good and happy life. The readings and class discussions explore the nature of the aesthetic in education, contemporary forms of violence, sex, sport, decision-making, and how we think about death. Along the way, the class makes connections between aesthetic experience in everyday life and philosophical analyses of specific works of art and aspects of artistic appreciation. Select works include Hofstadter and Kuhns, editors, Philosophies of Art and Beauty, and Joseph H. Kupfer, Experience as Art: Aesthetics in Everyday Life.
"The Gothic in Literature & Visual Culture" - Long thought to be aberrant in the history of literature, the Gothic has become in recent years an enormously popular and respected field of study. This 200-level colloquium primarily concentrates on the 18th and 19th centuries, examining in both literary and visual culture such transgressive themes as the supernatural, the aestheticizing of violence, the relationship of humans to machines, the horror at illness and bodily decay, incest, miscegenation, and homosexuality
"Poverty in the US" - This 300-level interdisciplinary course explores how urban sociology and social psychology explain persistent poverty and the attendant effects on individuals, communities, and the larger society. Theories and concepts from both disciplines are utilized to examine the nature and extent of poverty in the U.S., its myriad causes and consequences, as well as government programs and policies. Questions to be addressed include: What is poverty? Why is poverty higher in the U.S. than in other industrialized nations? What are the perceptions of the poor by the non-poor? What is the effect of poverty on children and families? And what is the psychological impact of being poor in an affluent society? Emphasis will be placed on urban poverty and the role of the state and civil society in its amelioration.
"South Africa and Southern Africa after Apartheid" - a 300-level colloquium that examines the events which have shaped the history of South Africa and Southern Africa and the forces that contributed to the dramatic transformation from apartheid to democracy that has occurred during the 1990's. The course culminates in the Southern Africa Simulation Game. With faculty guidance, students select and research group and individual roles based on the important players in the South African situation. The simulation game is conducted on a weekend at the end of the semester. It has very carefully constructed rules and controls and begins with an interesting scenario projected some time into the near future.
"Sources of Contemporary Thought" - another 300-level colloquium. This course aims to uncover the presence of the past by studying books and authors who have determined not only what we believe to be true and important, but the very terms and concepts with which we think and speak. The reading list includes works or parts of works by Machiavelli, Luther, Descartes, Voltaire, Hume, Kant, Goethe, Novalis, Darwin, Marx, Dostoevsky, and Freud.
The colloquia offer breadth of exposure, but even more importantly, they demonstrate how knowledge gained from a variety of disciplines can be related and integrated in an effort to understand complex processes and phenomena. All of these colloquia involve the writing of at least one major paper in which the students should themselves try to apply the methodology of the course to material in an area of particular interest to them. In these colloquia, a student is together with other students in the Program, and a sense of belonging to something special develops. Students newly admitted to the Program particularly appreciate being together with other good students among whom they find people with similar preoccupations and concerns.
Students continue in the Program throughout their academic careers at Hunter. They continue to take colloquia in their junior and/or senior years or register for HONS 491.51, Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies. Most of the services and privileges of the Program are important to the juniors and seniors in the Program who have decided to continue their education on a graduate level. Even those students who already have established close working relationships with professors in their specific majors make use of our advising and services.
Area of Concentration or Major
All certified students in the Thomas Hunter Honors Program have Special Honors Curriculum as one of their majors. Students who wish to design an interdisciplinary major without any other departmental major may do so in consultation with the appropriate Council advisor. These students are required to submit an interdisciplinary honors project. Most students in the Honors Program, however, elect to fulfill the requirements for one or more specific departmental majors as well as those of the Special Honors Curriculum. These students have to abide by departmental criteria for each major and are expected to do honors work in at least one major.
Final certification into the Program, with the privilege to have Special Honors Curriculum as a major, is usually made after two full semesters (24 credits) in the Program (for part-time students, certification will, of course, take longer). Students who have maintained a cumulative index of 3.5 or better and who have completed the necessary colloquium (one 200-level) with a grade of B or better, have completed or been exempted from English 120, and have 18-24 credits of 200-and/or 300-level courses in a variety of disciplines are considered for certification into the Program. When a student has completed the above requirements, the Council reviews his or her record, and if the record and the continuing academic promise so warrant, the Council certifies the student as a permanent member of the Program. Once that determination is made, a transcript comment "Special Honors Curriculum" is placed on the student's record by the Office of the Registrar. Before this time, membership in the Program is considered provisional. A student who has failed to maintain a cumulative index of 3.5 at the time of certification is allowed one semester in which to raise his or her cumulative grade point average.

Philosophy of the Program
The basic goal of the Thomas Hunter Honors Program is to nurture and encourage the best and most intellectually curious students with interdisciplinary interests who have chosen to attend Hunter. The Program gives these students focus and a sense of belonging to a group about whom the College cares.
The Program provides students with a chance to design individualized curricula, and helps them find their way as soon as possible to professors interested in working with them. The Program helps them define and achieve their academic goals in a timely and efficient manner.
Students in the Thomas Hunter Honors Program know that they have almost immediate access to an advisor when they need help with academic and bureaucratic problems, or when they wish to discuss more general questions and long-range goals. To make certain that all members of the Program are following a coherent curriculum, each student is required to see an advisor at least once a semester to discuss his or her general progress, and in addition, all students must have their academic programs approved every semester.
During past academic years, about half of the newly inducted members-in-course of Phi Beta Kappa were members of the Honors Program, and most of the graduating seniors in the Program who applied to graduate schools were accepted in the disciplines and institutions of their choice.

Bridget Riley's influential paintings from the 1960s and 1970s long ago secured a prominent place in the history of postwar art. Despite this widespread acclaim, Riley's work has been exhibited in the United States only on a very few occasions. With "Reconnaissance," to open at Dia Center for the Arts on September 21st, the public will be able to examine a selection from Riley's compelling body of early work in the artist's first solo exhibition to originate in the United States in decades.
"Bridget Riley: Reconnaissance," installed on the fourth floor of Dia's exhibition facility at 548 West 22nd Street, will focus on key paintings from the 1960s and 1970s by this British artist. Riley's paintings fuse space, light, and drawing in a complex relationship with color such that perception becomes a medium. Her carefully calibrated shifting of basic geometric forms creates direction, rhythm, and paradoxical relationships of spatial contrast and harmony, constancy and change. "Reconnaissance" will introduce a new generation to Bridget Riley's intense and subtle oeuvre.
Bridget Riley was born in London where she attended Goldsmith's College and the Royal College of Art. Awarded the International Prize for Painting at the Venice Biennale in 1968, she also holds honorary doctorates from the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge. Since her first solo exhibition in London in 1962, Riley's work has been exhibited widely in Europe, Japan, and Australia. Recent exhibitions include the Hayward Gallery in London in 1992-93 and the Serpentine Gallery last year. In addition, Riley recently installed a large-scale sculpture commissioned by Citibank for their new offices at Canary Wharf in London. Riley currently lives and works in London, Cornwall, and France.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue featuring an essay by John Elderfield and an introduction by Dia curator Lynne Cooke. A lecture in the Robert Lehman Lectures on Contemporary Art series will be devoted to Riley's work. Funding for the exhibition is provided by the Lannan Foundation, The British Council, and the members of the Dia Art Council.
Concurrent with Dia's exhibition, Bridget Riley's influential work will be on view in New York City at PaceWildenstein in the exhibition "Paintings 1982-2000 and Early Works on Paper" from September 22 through October 21, 2000.
Dia Center for the Arts is a tax-exempt charitable organization. Established in 1974, the organization has become one of the largest in the United States dedicated to contemporary art and culture. In fulfilling this commitment, Dia sustains diverse programming in visual arts, poetry, education, and critical discourse and debate. Exhibition hours during the 2000-2001 season are Wednesday - Sunday, 12 noon to 6 pm, beginning September 13, 2000. Admission is $6 ($3 for students and seniors and free to members).

New York University will host "Vagueness in Law: Philosophical and Legal Approaches," a conference weighing the implications of vague language on the law, March 21-23 at NYU's Department of Philosophy (5 Washington Place, ground floor [at Mercer Street]).
Speakers include: NYU Philosophy Professor Stephen Schiffer ("Philosophical and Jurisprudential Issues of Vagueness"), NYU School of Law Professor Jeremy Waldron ("Clarity, Thoughtfulness, and the Rule of Law"), and University of Toronto Philosophy Professor Diana Raffman ("Vagueness, Divergence, and Disagreement in Philosophy and Law"). The complete conference schedule may be found here.
One of the fundamental pillars of the rule of law is legal certainty, but vagueness, irrespective of what its sources are, poses a threat to this ideal. Since vague expressions are almost omnipresent in our language, their use in legal texts is virtually inevitable. As a result, the problem of deciding whether a general law applies to a particular case often lacks a clear answer. On the one hand, this may give judges space for discretion, which they can use to pay respect to the peculiarities of the case; but on the other hand, it seems to decrease the rule of law and to increase the rule of men. How much discretion is too much? What is the value of vagueness for law, and when does vagueness turn into a deficit? The conference will consider the practical implications of vagueness in legal contexts and weigh procedures to deal reasonably with vague legal language.
The event is free and open to the public. An RSVP is required by calling 212.998.9056 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Reporters interested in attending must RSVP to James Devitt, NYU's Office of Public Affairs, at 212.998.6808 or email@example.com. Subways: N, R [8th Street]; 6 [Astor Place].

Updates on MTELs, regulations, and licensure.
Massachusetts has adopted a new requirement for public and private schools and programs licensed, approved, or funded by the Departments of Elementary and Secondary Education and Early Education and Care. In addition to conducting Massachusetts-based criminal background checks (CORI) on interns, student teachers, employees, and others, these schools and programs must also obtain additional criminal background information through fingerprint records. The fingerprint records will be sent to the FBI and Massachusetts state police to check criminal records nationwide.Please note that individual school districts and programs are responsible to ensure that all individuals who have the potential for unmonitored contact with children have fingerprinting and background checks. Because the fingerprinting process is being phased in, schools may have different timelines for implementing this requirement for students completing practicum and field placement experiences. As soon as you know where you will be placed for a practicum, internship or field experience, contact the school, center or program for next steps regarding the fingerprinting requirement.Details about fingerprint locations and scheduling can be found on the MorphoTrust website. If you have questions about the implications of these new requirements on your educational program or career in the field of education, contact Sharyn S. Boornazian, Certification Officer, email@example.com or 617-349-8496
All licensure candidates are required to set up an electronic account
(ELAR) at the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary
Education at the start of your program. Once you have done so, let Lesley University
know your MEPID number by using LOIS (Lesley Online Information System). For more information »
Effective July 1, 2014, an SEI Endorsement is required to obtain an Initial License as a core academic teacher, which includes early childhood and elementary teachers, teachers of students with moderate disabilities, teachers of severe disabilities, and teachers of the following academic subjects: English, reading or language arts, mathematics, science, civics and government, economics, history, and geography. New teacher licensure and renewal laws and regulations were approved in Massachusetts as part of a comprehensive redesign of standards and knowledge essential for core academic teachers who provide sheltered English instruction to English language learners. The initiative is called RETELL, Rethinking Equity for Teaching English Language Learners. As part of RETELL, teachers are required to earn a Sheltered English Immersion (SEI) Teacher Endorsement, a credential that evidences a teacher's training to provide subject matter content instruction in English to a student learning English. Please go to the ESE RETELL website to review the new regulation.
To review applications, the ESE Licensure Office needs to have received payment, official transcripts, and notification of passing scores on the MTEL Communication & Literacy Tests. (MTEL scores are automatically received from MTEL vendor.)

WACO (February 8, 2013)—An appeals court has rejected an appeal from a Copperas Cove woman who was sentenced to life in prison for her role in her mother's kidnapping and death.
Gwendolyn Inez Greene, 21, pleaded guilty in February 2012 to aggravated kidnapping in connection with an incident in 2011 that led to her mother's death.
After the plea a Coryell County jury heard testimony in the punishment phase of the trial and sentenced Greene to life in prison.
Greene's lawyer appealed the sentence to the 10th Court of Appeals, in Waco, which on Thursday issued a ruling affirming the sentence and dismissing Greene's appeal as frivolous.
Greene has the option to appeal the sentence to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, in Austin.
Greene must serve at least 30 years of the sentence before she's eligible for parole.
A nine-man, three-woman jury heard testimony from 18 prosecution witnesses during the punishment phase of her trial in Gatesville and decided punishment after an hour of deliberation.
Greene, who was then 19, and a man she identified as her fiancée, Steve Edwin Barker, both of Copperas Cove, were arrested in April 2011 and charged in the death of her mother Catherine Jackson Greene.
Greene told investigators that she struck her mother during an argument, knocked her down, kicked her, beat her about the head with a lead pipe and that she and her boyfriend then bound the 57-year-old woman before placing her in the trunk of a car, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
Police found the older woman's body in the trunk of a burned out car after a fiery rollover on a rural Coryell County road.
Barker and Gwendolyn Greene were injured in the crash and were flown to Scott & White Hospital in Temple.
They were arrested after they were discharged.
Gwendolyn Greene, who police say was a Copperas Cove High School student at the time, was originally charged with assault with a deadly weapon-serious bodily injury and family violence.
Barker, 32, also was convicted of aggravated kidnapping and sentenced to life in prison.
The silver Honda Accord in which Greene and Barker were riding rolled over twice and burst into flames on Lutheran Church Road seven miles northwest of Copperas Cove.
Investigators said the car was traveling at a high rate of speed and was swerving before it crashed.
Gwendolyn Greene called 911 at least twice after the accident and told a dispatcher that Barker had been ejected and that her mother was in the trunk, according to the affidavit.
When Copperas Cove firefighters arrived at the accident scene in response to a 911 call from Greene, both victims were already out of the car, authorities said.
After dousing the flames, firefighters opened the trunk of the burned-out car and discovered a body, which was burned beyond recognition.

Has anyone installed Ubuntu on Dell's alternative to the 27-inch iMac?
It has some obvious advantages including easier disassembly, some upgradeability, and potentially better compatibility with Linux.
Or maybe not. Dell's vague and ambiguous published hardware specs (e.g., it's difficult to see how the base-model's i5-3450s can be accompanied by the 'default' HD 4000 graphics, since Intel says it features HD 2500) make it a bit of a pig in a poke at this point.

Any reviews on the "Nice" brand of almonds?! I love blue diamond and am not sure I am willing to save a few bucks going with a store brand. I usually stock up when I find the blue diamond bags on sale...
Here's one for the smaller size of the raw almonds. If you search for Nice! almonds on Walgreens' site, there are probably more.
I do understand brand loyalty. ;-) Yet, many 'house' brands could be the same as the name brand. (Not saying that's the case here, but do know that it happens.)
I've been buying Nice almonds in a Walgreen's store. I'm going to order these online because they are a lot cheaper.
I can verify that these are some nice nuts.
They have deals like this almost every week on their Nice! brand nuts and on their Delish brand. The Nice! brand are good, but the delish brand are fantastic. The biggest cashews I've ever seen and they have really good mixed nut combos, cashews/pecans/macadamia's etc.
@gottadive: I like the Nice almonds in nearly all flavors except the wasabi. Not worth going generic with the wasabi nuts; they just don't compare to name brand.
What BS, limit 2 bags I wanted 8 bags of the raw almonds. I can buy all I want at Costco for 29 cents more a pound.
These are now 2/$9. Still a good deal!
@gmwhit: Not for the raw ones. 3 pound bag is $10.79 at Costco and $10.78 at Sam's Club.

By DeClan McCullagh | CNET | May 4, 2012
CNET learns the FBI is quietly pushing its plan to force surveillance backdoors on social networks, VoIP, and Web e-mail providers, and that the bureau is asking Internet companies not to oppose a law making those backdoors mandatory.
The FBI is asking Internet companies not to oppose a controversial proposal that would require firms, including Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo, and Google, to build in backdoors for government surveillance.
In meetings with industry representatives, the White House, and U.S. senators, senior FBI officials argue the dramatic shift in communication from the telephone system to the Internet has made it far more difficult for agents to wiretap Americans suspected of illegal activities, CNET has learned.
The FBI general counsel's office has drafted a proposed law that the bureau claims is the best solution: requiring that social-networking Web sites and providers of VoIP, instant messaging, and Web e-mail alter their code to ensure their products are wiretap-friendly.
"If you create a service, product, or app that allows a user to communicate, you get the privilege of adding that extra coding," an industry representative who has reviewed the FBI's draft legislation told CNET. The requirements apply only if a threshold of a certain number of users is exceeded, according to a second industry representative briefed on it.
The FBI's proposal would amend a 1994 law, called the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, or CALEA, that currently applies only to telecommunications providers, not Web companies. The Federal Communications Commission extended CALEA in 2004 to apply to broadband networks.
FBI Director Robert Mueller is not asking companies to support the bureau's CALEA expansion, but instead is "asking what can go in it to minimize impacts," one participant in the discussions says. That included a scheduled trip this month to the West Coast -- which was subsequently postponed -- to meet with Internet companies' CEOs and top lawyers.
A further expansion of CALEA is unlikely to be applauded by tech companies, their customers, or privacy groups. Apple (which distributes iChat and FaceTime) is currently lobbying on the topic, according to disclosure documents filed with Congress two weeks ago. Microsoft (which owns Skype and Hotmail) says its lobbyists are following the topic because it's "an area of ongoing interest to us." Google, Yahoo, and Facebook declined to comment.
In February 2011, CNET was the first to report that then-FBI general counsel Valerie Caproni was planning to warn Congress of what the bureau calls its "Going Dark" problem, meaning that its surveillance capabilities may diminish as technology advances. Caproni singled out "Web-based e-mail, social-networking sites, and peer-to-peer communications" as problems that have left the FBI "increasingly unable" to conduct the same kind of wiretapping it could in the past.
In addition to the FBI's legislative proposal, there are indications that the Federal Communications Commission is considering reinterpreting CALEA to demand that products that allow video or voice chat over the Internet -- from Skype to Google Hangouts to Xbox Live -- include surveillance backdoors to help the FBI with its "Going Dark" program. CALEA applies to technologies that are a "substantial replacement" for the telephone system.
"We have noticed a massive uptick in the amount of FCC CALEA inquiries and enforcement proceedings within the last year, most of which are intended to address 'Going Dark' issues," says Christopher Canter, lead compliance counsel at the Marashlian and Donahue law firm, which specializes in CALEA. "This generally means that the FCC is laying the groundwork for regulatory action."
Subsentio, a Colorado-based company that sells CALEA compliance products and worked with the Justice Department when it asked the FCC to extend CALEA seven years ago, says the FBI's draft legislation was prepared with the compliance costs of Internet companies in mind.
In a statement to CNET, Subsentio President Steve Bock said that the measure provides a "safe harbor" for Internet companies as long as the interception techniques are "'good enough' solutions approved by the attorney general."
Another option that would be permitted, Bock said, is if companies "supply the government with proprietary information to decode information" obtained through a wiretap or other type of lawful interception, rather than "provide a complex system for converting the information into an industry standard format."
A representative for the FBI told CNET today that: "(There are) significant challenges posed to the FBI in the accomplishment of our diverse mission. These include those that result from the advent of rapidly changing technology. A growing gap exists between the statutory authority of law enforcement to intercept electronic communications pursuant to court order and our practical ability to intercept those communications. The FBI believes that if this gap continues to grow, there is a very real risk of the government 'going dark,' resulting in an increased risk to national security and public safety."
Next steps
The FBI's legislation, which has been approved by the Department of Justice, is one component of what the bureau has internally called the "National Electronic Surveillance Strategy." Documents obtained by the Electronic Frontier Foundation show that since 2006, Going Dark has been a worry inside the bureau, which employed 107 full-time equivalent people on the project as of 2009, commissioned a RAND study, and sought extensive technical input from the bureau's secretive Operational Technology Division in Quantico, Va. The division boasts of developing the "latest and greatest investigative technologies to catch terrorists and criminals."
But the White House, perhaps less inclined than the bureau to initiate what would likely be a bruising privacy battle, has not sent the FBI's CALEA amendments to Capitol Hill, even though they were expected last year. (A representative for Sen. Patrick Leahy, head of the Judiciary committee and original author of CALEA, said today that "we have not seen any proposals from the administration.")
Mueller said in December that the CALEA amendments will be "coordinated through the interagency process," meaning they would need to receive administration-wide approval.
Stewart Baker, a partner at Steptoe and Johnson who is the former assistant secretary for policy at Homeland Security, said the FBI has "faced difficulty getting its legislative proposals through an administration staffed in large part by people who lived through the CALEA and crypto fights of the Clinton administration, and who are jaundiced about law enforcement regulation of technology -- overly jaundiced, in my view."
On the other hand, as a senator in the 1990s, Vice President Joe Biden introduced a bill at the FBI's behest that echoes the bureau's proposal today. Biden's bill said companies should "ensure that communications systems permit the government to obtain the plain text contents of voice, data, and other communications when appropriately authorized by law." (Biden's legislation spurred the public release of PGP, one of the first easy-to-use encryption utilities.)
The Justice Department did not respond to a request for comment. An FCC representative referred questions to the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, which declined to comment.
From the FBI's perspective, expanding CALEA to cover VoIP, Web e-mail, and social networks isn't expanding wiretapping law: If a court order is required today, one will be required tomorrow as well. Rather, it's making sure that a wiretap is guaranteed to produce results.
But that nuanced argument could prove radioactive among an Internet community already skeptical of government efforts in the wake of protests over the Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA, in January, and the CISPA data-sharing bill last month. And even if startups or hobbyist projects are exempted if they stay below the user threshold, it's hardly clear how open-source or free software projects such as Linphone, KPhone, and Zfone -- or Nicholas Merrill's proposal for a privacy-protective Internet provider -- will comply.
The FBI's CALEA amendments could be particularly troublesome for Zfone. Phil Zimmermann, the creator of PGP who became a privacy icon two decades ago after being threatened with criminal prosecution, announced Zfone in 2005 as a way to protect the privacy of VoIP users. Zfone scrambles the entire conversation from end to end.
"I worry about the government mandating backdoors into these kinds of communications," says Jennifer Lynch, an attorney at the San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation, which has obtained documents from the FBI relating to its proposed expansion of CALEA.
As CNET was the first to report in 2003, representatives of the FBI's Electronic Surveillance Technology Section in Chantilly, Va., began quietly lobbying the FCC to force broadband providers to provide more-efficient, standardized surveillance facilities. The FCC approved that requirement a year later, sweeping in Internet phone companies that tie into the existing telecommunications system. It was upheld in 2006 by a federal appeals court.
But the FCC never granted the FBI's request to rewrite CALEA to cover instant messaging and VoIP programs that are not "managed"--meaning peer-to-peer programs like Apple's Facetime, iChat/AIM, Gmail's video chat, and Xbox Live's in-game chat that do not use the public telephone network.
If there is going to be a CALEA rewrite, "industry would like to see any new legislation include some protections against disclosure of any trade secrets or other confidential information that might be shared with law enforcement, so that they are not released, for example, during open court proceedings," says Roszel Thomsen, a partner at Thomsen and Burke who represents technology companies and is a member of an FBI study group. He suggests that such language would make it "somewhat easier" for both industry and the police to respond to new technologies.
But industry groups aren't necessarily going to roll over without a fight. TechAmerica, a trade association that includes representatives of HP, eBay, IBM, Qualcomm, and other tech companies on its board of directors, has been lobbying against a CALEA expansion. Such a law would "represent a sea change in government surveillance law, imposing significant compliance costs on both traditional (think local exchange carriers) and nontraditional (think social media) communications companies," TechAmerica said in e-mail today.
Ross Schulman, public policy and regulatory counsel at the Computer and Communications Industry Association, adds: "New methods of communication should not be subject to a government green light before they can be used."

When I try to "Import Filmroll" into Darktable, I can't see how to tell it to include all subdirectories. Any tips?
Soo, current master includes a recursive adding a directory and its files, and a option for not including jpegs files, which is good if you shoot raw+jpeg... Release 0.7 would include this and if you run unstable PPA you have this option now..
I asked in the #darktable IRC channel on Freenode and it's currently not implemented yet, but it's on the TODO-list. It's probably very easy to implement but the core developers are currently working on some other features that require their skills.
If you know a bit of C++ programming, or you know somebody who wants to help with it, it's probably less than a day's work to implement this and contribute it to the project...
i'm one of the developer for darktable, and i have the same "problem" with my f-spot library of images, the best way to do this migration is to use a script wich can migrate the library including the tags/colorlabels and migrating into the storage structure defined in darktable camera import dialog.
i know that someone have started to work on a script for lightroom migration but i dont know the status for it, and im probly the one who makes the f-spot migration script..
In Darktable 1.1 when importing a folder, you can expand "import options" and check the "import directories recursively" option.
A general note on migrating a library to Darktable:
For example F-Spot structures like this:
Now Darktable uses the top level directory as the filmroll name "19" in that case, which would easily conflict. So I'd recommend a directory tree like so:
~/Darktable/2010/20101019_ShortEventDescription/IMG_1234.CR2 (or even PMJ_20101019_1234.CR2 in my case).
In this case your filmroll would be called "20101019_ShortEventDescription" which is quite unique and a bit descriptive of the contents...

A Fort Pierce woman was arrested Sunday night after she hit her husband on the head with a frying pan, police said.
Maria Zapeta, also known as Maria Guerrero, 29, was arrested on a domestic battery charge.
MUGSHOTS: Death Row's Female Faces On WPBF.com
Fort Pierce police said officers were called to a domestic disturbance at the home and found Zapeta sitting outside on the ground.
Zapeta told officers she hit her husband in self-defense because he pulled her hair, police said.
She claimed they were drinking when she told her husband that she wanted to go to bed, so he grabbed her by the hair, smacked her across the face and threw her to the ground.
However, Zapeta's husband told police he was sleeping on the sofa when his wife came into the living room and hit him over the head with a frying pan because he was "not in the bed with her," the report stated.
Police said Zapeta's husband didn't want to go to the hospital because it would take too much time and he had to go to work in the morning, so he just wanted to go to sleep.

Getting Up To Speed With…Kady Adelman
By Ben Deatherage
(Photo Courtesy of HighLine Image and Design)
A driver to look out for that is on the rise is Kady Adelman. This young lady, originally from Bend, Oregon but now residing in Salem, has made great strides since first getting into a Sprint Car four years ago. Before that she would cut her teeth in Quarter Midgets and eventually Micro Sprints. Last season she would finish runner-up in the final Northwest Extreme Sprints points including three wins and twelve top five finishes.
A former Cottage Grove Speedway Rookie of the Year award winner in both the Northwest Extreme Sprints and Huddle Automotive Repair 360 Sprints she will also try and make the entire 2014 schedule with the ASCS-Northwest Region. We got a chance to talk to Kady about how she got her start in racing, why she runs the #6A, and what he biggest racing highlight is so far. Now let's get up to speed with Kady Adelman.
Driver: Kady Adelman
Hometown: Salem, OR
Occupation: Office Manager
Age: 19
Years Racing: 9
Classification: Huddle Automotive Repair 360 Sprint
Team: Adelman Racing
Car: 6A
Chassis: Maxim
Sponsors: Machined for Speed by Craig Jensen, Baxter Auto Parts, True Value of Brooks, BC Motorsports, K&S Motorsports
Special Thanks: Craig Jensen, and Steve Adelman (Dad)
BD: What are some of your plans in 2014?
KA: In 2014, I hope to run a full schedule with ASCS-Northwest and the 360 class at Cottage Grove. Also hope to throw in a few wingless races here and there.
BD: How did you get your start in racing?
KA: I got my start in racing by going to a quarter midget test drive day at the quarter midget track at Alpenrose Dairy in Portland. I barely idled around, as slow as the car would go, from that day I was hooked.
BD: What is your biggest racing highlight so far?
KA: My biggest racing highlight would probably be winning my first race in the Sprint Car. Overall highlight would be just getting into Sprint Cars and having the opportunity that Brian Crockett gave me to drive one.
BD: Why did you choose the #6A to race?
KA: There really is no meaning behind why I chose that number. The time just came that I needed to pick a number and I looked around and thought there aren't very many #6's that you see around. So #6 was the number, I originally wanted #6K but my dad and I agreed that #6A sounded better.
BD: How did the Micro Sprints help you out with starting your career?
KA: Micro Sprints most importantly helped me learn how to race on dirt, in Quarter Midgets I only ran on asphalt and concrete. So figuring out the dirt and how it changes so quickly was a big deal.

Daydreaming is becoming a serious issue for me as I miss valuable information in places such as classes, meetings and presentations. It doesn't depend on any specific element. In fact, it may be triggered by a word that reminds me of something I was concerned regardless of it's importance. Then I come back to myself and realize I was daydreaming even though I was still looking and nodding at the person who was speaking.
I'm looking for ways to control my mind to when it's okay to daydream and when it's not but not supress as it's been proven to have benefits. Is it possible?

The photographer is probably riding a horse while he took the photo.
Main Content
I am from Mongolia. I love my country...
Unusual and excellent composition, its difficult to figure out where you were standing,while taking the shot.
amazing photo.
it's our hometown
excellent, viewers can feel that moment...
nice shot, makes you feel like your really there, expereincing the cold and witnessing the scene. Awesome Shot Tariq
I feel like I can reach and touch the snow. It's a great picture. Thanks for taking me to a distant land.
Life's hardships captured beautifully.
Beauty comes in many forms.
The hardships and determinate nomad sprite ,is inspiring.
a wonderful work tariq !!!
very nice...
Epic angle!!!
hard-working nomads, ans so as the Your Shot contributor.
Beautiful image! :)
Is lookig like a piece of art, but this is the unreal reality!
Great shot and looks extremely cold. Your hard work paid off for an exceptional photo.
very nice
Hope the sheep's will get some green to eat .
Very nice image! Congratulations.
At the right time
Wonderful shot...
Beautiful composition! I'd said the timing was perfect!
As a high school student with a passion for photography Nat Geo is always inspirational!
My work can be found here: http://maireadkahn.wordpress.com/
I would love to see the meta data from this fabulous shot...
incredible photo!! congrats, Tariq.
This photo is amazing. I wish i had one of those shaggy haired sheep. :)
Great shot, great and very ice
On est avec ce berger au coeur de l'image
Great composition!
I know that reindeer eat lichens which I believe are on rocks? They also dig through snow with their noses and hooves to get at shoots and roots. The people, I presume, eat mainly lamb/mutton, with other dried meats, nuts, seeds and berries...?
More than commenting on the picture,I wondered what they, both humans and sheep have to eat over there. It is pretty desolate, very cold and seemingly lonely. Never the less, the shot is more than a very good one and the photographer to be congratulated on it. j.e.s.
Hearty people and animals, very beautiful photo.
Breath taking in , and at its best. Great shot., Love to see it in the flesh.....
awesome and great shoots
Yes, a beautiful shot, but, where is your humanity? You say the nomad was frantically herding the sheep while you wait for the perfect shot. Had you thought of helping the poor man herd them and then get a shot? I hope you send the monies you earn from this to that poor family. We can afford to see the beauty of the photo, but I'm quite sure he and his family are more concerned with living day to day.
Beautiful... Wondering what the animals eat??
Wow Amazing shot. If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.
Awesome picture, like always :-)
congratulations! awesome shot !
Oh, wish to be there...What a shot......
this photo really work with dedication.
This photo portrays very clearly the harsh conditions of sheep herding in Mongolia. Looking at this image, I think of the person behind the camera, and contemplate your dedication to your art, Tariq, and the hardships you must have endured in the pursuit of this photo. Truly admirable!
On a minor note, I wondered how the photo achieved an elevated point-of-view in this flat plateau of snow, but the commentary explains that you would have been standing on the rungs of the sheep pen.
The photo has an excellent composition, and a great sense of forward motion.
@Diana Pulschen What is your problem??
photographers photograph, they do not get involved. That man is doing this every day perfectly without his help.
@Diana Pulschen Not Arguing...but i don't think an inexperienced person can do anything about it!
@Steve Johnson @Diana Pulschen Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking. Maybe his clumsy attempts to help would have done worse. :)

BLOOMINGDALE - Twenty years ago, Cindy Murray had a dream to operate a little restaurant, a dream fulfilled when she opened the Dove Restaurant at 903 state Route 152.
Now Joan Cresap's dream for the same thing has come true.
Joan and her husband, Jay, assumed ownership of the restaurant from Cindy and Kent Murray, officially reopening the business March 1.
Article Photos
UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP — The Dove Restaurant at 903 state Route 152, Bloomingdale, officially opened under new ownership March 1 as Joan and Jay Cresap of Steubenville, couple at right, are tackling a new venture. With them are Kent and Cindy Murray, who started the restaurant 20 years ago.
-- Janice R. Kiaski
The transition is one that comes with happiness, tears and an explanation that a desire for a change in life is behind the ownership switch.
"My husband and I were eating at the restaurant," Joan tells the story. "I looked around and told my husband that I would love to own a small restaurant like this one. A few weeks later, Jay stopped for breakfast and asked the owners if they were interested in selling. Cindy spoke to him about that," she said.
Joan had been in a life-evaluating mode of thought.
"I have been the finance manager at the Brooke-Hancock-Jefferson Metropolitan Planning Commission for 18 years, and I truly valued my contribution to that organization," she said.
But a bout with cancer brought blurry I-want-to-do-this life goals into crisper focus.
"About five years ago, I went in to the hospital for a routine operation, and they discovered I had ovarian cancer, stage three. I have been clean since then, and that's when I discovered that, even though I loved my job with BHJ, I wanted to do something that would make me feel fulfilled and happy," Joan said.
"As a cancer survivor, I evaluated what I wanted to do with the remainder of my life. I hope to bring my background in finance into the business, but my true love is giving value to our customers and interacting with the public," she said.
The Cresaps are residents of Steubenville, both natives to the Steubenville-Wintersville area. Jay is a plumber/pipefitter with Local 495 and president of the Jefferson County Sportsmans Association.
They'd never met the Murrays before but once they connected, "we both realized that our lives were at a turning point," Joan said.
"The Murrays are ready to move into a new area of their lives, concentrating on their children and grandchildren and choosing a different direction in their lives," Joan said.
Ditto for the Cresaps and their new venture with the restaurant, one they said they could not have pursued with confidence had it not been for the Murrays' encouragement and support.
Cindy said she immediately knew when she met Joan that the ownership change was the right choice as Joan's passion to operate a small restaurant paralleled her own two decades earlier.
"I wanted her to have her dream," said Cindy, who ran the restaurant in its initial eight years until Kent came on board.
While the years were good ones, the time commitment to running a restaurant began to take its toll. Three years ago the restaurant began closing during the winter months. During 2011, it was only four days a week. A year ago, selling the business was a thought seriously considered, according to Cindy.
The Murrays are making the transition from life on a 200-acre farm in Knoxville to residency at the Tappan Lake area, and they're still in the restaurant business though on a much smaller scale, far less hours.
For about three and a half years, Cindy has operated the Country Cottage Cafe at 203 Ohio St., Brilliant. The couple's main focus, however, will be their rental properties in Toronto and Brilliant in addition to the Dove Inn motel behind the restaurant, which can accommodate as many as 15.
Having the Dove Restaurant was an emotional investment as well as a business one, Cindy agreed, one that fostered many fond memories and nurtured friendships from a customer base.
"I think about all my customers and thank them," she said tearfully.
Located off the Bloomingdale exit of U.S. Route 22, the Dove Restaurant is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., but in order to serve surrounding workers, "we'll open the doors to 'early birds,'" Joan said.
The restaurant also will offer carry-out services.
"Our daily specials are some old favorites maybe tweaked a little and some new dishes with taste and comfort in mind," Joan said. "The early morning and weekend evening hours will be watched closely. Feedback from our customers will be the deciding force," she added.
In preparation for the restaurant's opening, the Cresaps worked to be ready for opening day. "As with any business changeover, a customary cleaning was the best place to start. We will rearrange and rethink a few areas with customer and employee comfort at the forefront. New ideas are running through our minds but a return of the regular customers would be a great and successful beginning," Joan said.
Getting things ready was a labor of love, they said, that involved "a huge effort of friendship" with assistance from Richard "Bear" Rogers, William "Chip" Ralston, Shane Neilly, Cody Cresap, Robert Clark, Joey Booth, Jim Palm, Lee Russell, Diane Clark, James Cooper, Amanda Mosti, Heather Clark, Amelia Booth, Glenn Snyder, Danny Byard, Connor Cooper, Caz Smogor and Brian Applegarth.
"We have been very fortunate to have kept most of the employees who have worked for and been loyal to the Dove in the past. Six employees will be returning, and a new chef will be on board," Joan said.
"We feel very blessed to have the support of our family and many friends in this venture," Joan said. "Words could never express what their support and hard work mean to us. They came every day with their sleeves rolled up and ready to jump in, never asking for anything in return," Joan added.
With the baton of restaurant ownership passed, one thing won't change, according to Joan.
"The legacy of good affordable 'comfort foods' shall remain our goal."

Fifty Shades of Grey
Fifty Shades of Grey Casting: THIS Star Had "Really Good Read" for Christian — Report
The sweepstakes to replace Charlie Hunnam as Christian Grey in Fifty Shades of Grey is tightening up — and apparently a certain star is now in the lead after a great audition.
Numerous names have been tossed around as being in contention for the coveted male lead in the film, but E! Online is now reporting that Once Upon a Time hottie Jamie Dornan is the current frontrunner after a stellar read-through with producers.
"He had a really good read today," a source says on October 18.
So is this bad news for the myriad other guys who are said to be in the running, including Luke Bracey, Christian Cooke, Scott Eastwood, Alexander Skarsgard, and fan faves Matt Bomer and Ian Somerhalder? It sure sounds that way.
But what is Jamie's chemistry like with Dakota Johnson, who has already been cast as Anastasia Steele? Apparently, that's not a big concern. "The studio isn't worried about Dakota," says the source. "They think she could handle whoever the guy is."
Frankly, we're pretty excited about the prospect of Jamie Dornan in the title role of Fifty Shades. The dude was great in playing a sexy authority figure as Sheriff Graham on OUAT, so he definitely has what it takes to fill Christian's suits.
Regardless of who gets the role, the studio needs to choose someone quickly, as the film begins production in early November to make its August 1, 2014, release date.
But what do you think? Do you hope Jamie gets it, or are you crossing your fingers for someone else?

It's the season of giving and Ronnie Fisk is giving the best gift he has. He is giving the gift of music.
His mother, Agnes Fisk, says, "When he was born they told me he was blind and deaf. I wouldn't believe them."
Her faith proved true. Ronnie turned out to be not completely blind or completely deaf. However, he remained speechless for more than 50 years, only recently learning to speak
Jennifer Mitchell, Bowling Green Towers Manager, says, "I think he is amazing. He adds so much life to our building and the Christmas spirit is so much more alive when he's playing. I just love him."
And Ronnnie loves to play.
Ronnie Fisk, gifted pianist, says, "I like the piano because I play so good I play all by ear never had lessons."
His mother says when Ronnie was four years old she sat him down next to his brother on the piano bench and Ronnie picked it up naturally.
Agnes Fisk says, "He'd play in a church, he'd play anywhere, but right now it's Christmas and that's all that's on his mind. Waiting for those gifts!
And for the last three years the residents of the Toers have looked forward to his gifts of music.
Jennifer Mitchell says, "I look forward to him every year coming. I really do. He's just wonderful. The gift the God has given him is just wonderful and that's all you can say about it."

High-Drama White Rooms
A new book celebrates and examines the power of white
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
Brilliant, a new book devoted entirely to the power of white, is equal parts history lesson, critical essay, and eye candy, exploring the many ways in which white is key in design. With more than 250 photographs that showcase the color's versatility, author Linda O'Keeffe examines white from every angle, with chapters named after its many faces—Radiant to Neutral, Seductive to Pure. The images are similarly diverse, ranging from Antoine Bootz's dreamy photographs of clouds and fog to the stark, sculptural white fiberglass in a Marcel Wanders–designed villa in Mallorca.

Bye-Bye Blonde! Kellie Pickler Goes Redhead: Love It or Hate It?
Frederick Breedon/Getty
Kellie Pickler may be one of country's most iconic blondes — she's even impersonated Dolly Parton — but for now, she's joining a less represented segment of the music community: redheads! The bombshell debuted her newly auburn locks on the red carpet of the CMA Awards tonight, having carefully tucked them under a hat for Parton's Live from London DVD premiere party on Tuesday night. Pickler joked of the attention her new do is getting on the red carpet, saying, "It seems to be the thing to talk about." She also gave a shout-out to legendary country redhead Reba McEntire, suggesting that she was joining her ranks since "we've got enough blondes in country." But, she did admit to PEOPLE that she is still adjusting to her new do. "The hair doesn't make the person, but it has been a shocker. I wake up in the morning and walk by the mirror and I'm like, 'Who's that!' I thought someone broke into my house!" Pickler did manage to find the upside, explaining that, "It's been interesting with red hair cause you can't wear the same things. It's an excuse to go shopping." What do you think of Kellie's new hair color? Vote in our poll below, and see all news, photos and more from the CMAs!

Let $E$ be a closed subspace of $L^2[0,1]$. Suppose that $E\subset{}L^\infty[0,1]$. Is it true that $E$ is finite dimensional?
PS. This is actually a question from the real analysis qualifier. I came across it as I was teaching qualifier preparation course, and was solving problems from old qualifiers. So, though it might follow from some advanced theory of Banach spaces, I am most interested in the 'elementary' solution, using only methods from standard real analysis course. Note: if $E\subset{}C[0,1]$, then it is a problem from Folland, and there is a solution there. However, it does not work for $L^\infty$, not without some trick.

Maybe odd question, but I think I have an odd productivity problem. I lose the will to finish my projects at work when I have very little to do. I am more used to fast-paced environments that keep me on my toes, and keep my mind revved. Trivial projects bore me, and the boredom leads to worse performance and worse delivery of the final product.
The kind of work I do is office work, web programming in specific. I would get piled on lots of work and get it all organized, and because there was a lot to do, it incentivizes my need to double-check every detail to make sure it's all complete and in order. Now with my new job and my new boss only giving me one small project at a time, I have so much down time that I procrastinate, and my performance has dropped.
My performance is better when I have a large workload but the irony is that my boss won't offer me more work until my performance improves. How should I stay on top of things where there's a lot of free time luring me to not work?

Despite a judge's ruling to stop Governor Fletcher from funding a Magna training center with state cash, Warren County's Judge Executive says the site will be built on time.
Franklin County Circuit Judge Roger Crittenden ruled Wednesday that Governor Ernie Fletcher can enact a spending plan to run state government in the absence of a General-Assembly budget. However, that ruling comes with conditions that mandate a 2% pay raise for state workers (as opposed to 5% proposed in earlier budgets), and the ruling prevents the Governor from starting any new state-funded construction projects, which includes a $5 million training center for the Transpark's first tenant, Magna International.
"We're dissappointed that the judge ruled that we're not able to fund the KCTCS project for Magna," Daniel Groves, Fletcher's chief of staff, says. "We are going to work very diligently and very hard to find another means of being able to fund this project."
The training center is considered a key component of the package that attracted Magna to the area.
"If they have to train their employees at another facility out of state because we did not provide the facility that was committed to them by the House leadership and the Governor's office, then I think that's a very sad state of affairs," says Warren County's Judge Executive Mike Buchanon. "We need to live up to our committments."
"We are going to assure the folks at Magna and in the community that we are going to do all that we can to prevent any delays in this," Groves says.
"I'm confident that the training facility will be in place because of the commitment that was made at every level, and I'm confident that they'll work towards that, and if they don't, we will," Buchanon says.
