Jillian Harris Chooses Ed Swiderski on The Bachelorette Season Finale!
In an emotional season finale, The Bachelorette star Jillian Harris ended up with Ed Swiderski, ousting Kiptyn Locke and leaving Reid Rosenthal devastated.
After Kiptyn was rejected, it appeared as if Reid might sweep Jillian off her feet with his dramatic return to the show. But ultimately, Jillian's feelings for Ed, the Chicago native who left and returned himself this season, were just too strong.

VT breaks up unlicensed hunting preserveTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | January 05,2013FAIRLEE The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife says wardens have broken up an unlicensed captive hunting facility in Fairlee where people paid up to $6,000 to hunt exotic animals such as buffalo, sika deer, and Texas dall sheep.
The state on Friday charged 51-year-old Steven Hill and 21-year-old Chiaki Ito, both of Fairlee, in the case after two undercover game wardens paid $750 each to hunt a Spanish goat and wild boar.
Hill and Ito are charged with operating the Hunt the Ridge captive hunting facility. They are alleged to have charged visitors up to $6,000 to hunt exotic wild animals.
The state says about 200 animals remain on the property.
Hill and Ito are scheduled to appear in court next month in Chelsea.MORE IN This Just In

The good, the bad and the ugly of the Gang-of-10 drilling deal, Part 2: Something for nothing?
Major legislative compromises are unsatisfying by design. They invariably have good, bad, and ugly parts.
I have previously argued that the Democrats would be smart to compromise on offshore drilling (see "Since offshore oil is de minimis, why shouldn't Obama and the Dems make a deal? Part 1") The rest of this series will examine whether the so-called Gang-of-10 deal is in fact a smart compromise.
That question can be rephrased as, does the good beat out the bad and the ugly [as, of course, Clint did in the epic spaghetti western]?
I will focus here on the main good-and-bad pieces of the "New Energy Reform Act of 2008." Part 3 will cover the smaller pieces, including the one I think is really, really ugly.
The best part by far is:
Enhancing Conservation [sic]
To ease gas prices and protect our environment during the transition, the proposal includes a significant federal commitment to promoting conservation and efficiency [sic]. These include:
• Extending renewable energy, carbon mitigation and energy conservation and efficiency tax incentives, including the production tax credit, through 2012 to create greater certainty and spur greater investment.
[Note to Gang-of-10 Dems: Please stop buying into the GOP frame that renewables are the same as "conservation and efficiency." That's how they try to pigeonhole all progressive solutions — Doing with less. New renewables, including solar baseload, are a serious supply option that are all but certain to deliver more new kilowatt hours through 2050 and beyond than new nuclear power plants and coal with carbon capture and storage combined.]
Assuming this includes the solar investment tax credit along with the PTC, then this is far and away the most important piece of the legislation. Renewables have had to contend with uncertain year-by-year renewal for a long time. Consider the effect on the wind power, as this chart from a Union of Concerned Scientists study shows:
A 5-year extension of the PTC and ITC would all but insure that wind, solar PV, and solar baseload see continued rapid growth and price decline. And that insures they — along with energy efficiency — become the core strategies for how the nation and the world solve our energy and climate problems while maintaining economic development.
So just how much drilling is in this compromise?
Opens additional acreage in the Gulf of Mexico for leasing (in consultation with the Defense Department to ensure that drilling is done in a manner consistent with national security) and allows Virginia, North and South Carolina and Georgia to opt in to leasing off their shores. Retains an environmental buffer zone extending 50 miles offshore where new oil production will not be allowed. Requires all new production to be used domestically. Creates a commission to make recommendations to Congress on future areas that should be considered for leasing. Provides for appropriate revenue sharing for states that allow leasing off their shores.
From my perspective, that ain't bad. Yes, I am aware this will never have any impact whatsoever on the prices Americans pay at the pump (see "The cruel offshore-drilling hoax").
But as I said in Part 1, if the Dems don't give in to some coastal drilling at $4 a gallon gasoline, they will eventually at $6 or $8. Why keep taking any serious political pain if you can get some real clean energy gain — especially if the drilling is far less than de minimis, as it is here?
In 2006, the country opened for drilling the vast majority of the Gulf of Mexico, which was estimated to contain 41 billion barrels of oil. Since then, oil prices doubled. So much for the idea that drilling will lower prices. [I would note that Democrats didn't get anything in return for not blocking this bill — which is just one more piece of evidence as to which side tends to win the messaging war.]
The Gang-of-10 deal leaves out the entire West Coast and half the East Coast, and the other states must opt in. Drilling in the state that seems most excited, Virginia, will almost certainly be vetoed by the Pentagon because the Navy uses the state's coastal waters for a variety of activities.
So coastal waters with maybe 6 billion barrels of oil will be open for drilling. Very little if any major drilling will occur for the next 10 years in these areas, and not much after that with the possible exception of the Eastern Gulf. That means essentially no extra oil beyond business as usual until 2020. And then from 2020 to 2030, the extra oil production might average about 50,000 barrels of oil a day — some one part in two thousand of projected oil demand then (which should exceed 100 million barrels of oil a day, unless, of course, we have peaked in production or are about to).
Someone is going to have to explain to me why allowing this doubly de minimis drilling in return for a five-year extension of the renewable tax credits is not getting something for nothing.
Now I do agree with my colleague Dan Weiss, Senior Fellow and Director of Climate Strategy that "The New Energy Reform Act … will do nothing to reduce oil prices today, tomorrow, or next year." Indeed, I would add, "or for the rest of eternity." But I believe that none of the policies that would actually have either a short term, medium-term, or long-term impact on oil prices could possibly be passed as long as George Bush is presiden.
So what I am focused on here whether this bill is worth voting for, whether the benefits outweigh the harm. And in that regard, the rest of the bill also does more good than harm, although it has one very ugly provision — as we will see in Part 3.

I completely agree with the compromise aspect, as it seems the only way to progress. I look forward to reading what is ugly about it. I must say it was very interesting this summer to actually see the number of new wind projects popping up in the state of New York and in Washington. To date everyone I meet thinks they are not an eyesore but a good spectacle.
Many would argue that the "ugly" would include reforming the nuclear waste and storage policies to allow for increased reprocessing of spent fuels, though I don't know if that is what Joe is referring to.
My guess is that Joe will spell ugly with three letters. However, I was pleased to see that the deal actually has some forethought in starting to train people to build nukes again. I was actually just thinking about that yesterday, and how the people with experience actually building them are about ready to retire. That, and welders were hard to come by in the nuclear boom times, so I can't imagine how hard it will be to find them now. I still don't think more than one or two will ever be built, though.
[JR: I do in fact spell it with three letters, but not CTL. I spell it EOR.]
EOR = Enhanced Oil Recovery?
Uses injected chemicals, gases (CO2) or steam/heat to increase oil yields…thanks, wikipedia!
Nuclear spent fuel reprocessing is not cost effective. Not even close. The congressional budget office did a cost analysis on this
So coastal waters with maybe 6 billion barrels of oil will be open for drilling. Very little if any major drilling will occur for the next 10 years in these areas, and not much after that with the possible exception of the Eastern Gulf

Very few if any major drilling in these areas for the next 10 years, but then the East Bay is made with the possible exception.

I hope this is the right stack exchange site for this. I saw a few other questions on here about HDMI monitors.
I'm looking at two different HDMI monitors and one of the biggest spec differences is the $200 dollar one has a 50,000,000:1 contrast ratio while the $180 one has a ratio of 1000:1. The gap seems very significant, but both are highly rated. Will I notice a difference if I get the one with the smaller contrast ratio?

An Introduction to AIR
AIR applications don't look like what I think of when I think "web application". To me they look and feel like desktop applications. This surprised me a little because when I first heard about AIR I assumed that it would be similar to Prism from Mozilla. I thought that it would be yet another way for established websites to deliver their content directly to users' Desktops. In a way this is true, especially when you see AIR applications like the eBay Desktop, but developers have not restricted themselves to simple website-to-the-desktop applications. The AIR Marketplace, a central repository of AIR applications, has applications for Time Tracking, eLearning, Video conferencing, micro-blogging, news reading, media playing, and on and on and on.
Because AIR applications are built using existing standards (HTML, JavaScript, Flash), they are cross-platform by default (well, almost — more on that later). AIR's goal is to be a true write once, run anywhere environment.
Getting AIR
The Linux alpha version of AIR can be downloaded from http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/air/.
The download is a file with a '.bin' extension. To install it, you first have to make the file executable. This can be done by opening a terminal window and navigating to where you downloaded the file and then issuing the following command:
chmod +x adobeair_linux_a1_033108.bin
Once the file is executable, start the simple installation process from the command line with:
The installer should run and ask you to accept the AIR license agreement.
After clicking on "I Agree" the installer will ask you where
you would like it installed. By default it suggests to install
itself to your
/opt directory. Assuming you keep the
default, after the installation has finished there will be a new
"/opt/Adobe AIR"
directory that contains the "Adobe AIR Application Installer"
program and other miscellaneous files. That's right, you just
installed an installer. On Ubuntu, after installation I also had
a new entry in my Applications > Other
Using AIR
Now that AIR is installed, you can download and install AIR applications. These applications are delivered in the form of .air files. These files are really .zip files containing everything the AIR Application Installer needs to install the application on to your computer.
AIR users on MacOS and Windows can install applications by clicking on handy "Install Now" buttons on the web pages of the applications they want to install. The alpha version of AIR for Linux can't make use of this feature, so you have to manually download the .air file and then open it with the AIR Application Installer. Firefox can be configured to automatically open .air files with the AIR Application Installer, so for many applications, this isn't a problem because there is usually a direct link to the .air file somewhere on the install page. Some application web sites don't provide the link though, leaving you to do a "View Source" on the web page and search for ".air" to find the file to download.
During the installation of an AIR application, the Installer will first display an "Are you sure?" message letting you know the name of the application, the filesystem and network permissions the application will have, and whether or not the identity of the publisher of the application can be verified.
Click on the install button and the installer will ask where
you want the application installed (
/opt is the
default), whether or not to start the application after
installation is complete, and if you want it to create a Desktop
launcher for the application.
After you click on the Continue button the installer takes the cross-platform .air package and translates the app so that it will run on your system as if it was a traditional application. This install process basically involves the AIR Application Installer unzipping the .air file to the location you specified and then creating a binary executable that loads and runs the application.
Example Applications
Adobe provides links to several example applications, with full source code, at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/air/samples/. These applications are good examples of the type of things that AIR can do. My favorites of the bunch are MapCache, RoadFinder, PixelPerfect, and ScreenBoard.
MapCache is a Desktop version of Yahoo Maps. The nifty feature it has is the ability to drag the map you are currently looking at to the desktop where it is saved as a .png file. Just grab the "Drag Me" button and drop it on the Desktop.
The RoadFinder application is not very useful, but it is fun. What it does is show you both Google Maps and Yahoo Maps side by side. When you drag or zoom on one, the other does too. By doing this you can readily see how these two map services differ. This can be especially useful if you are trying to find an address in a new development and either Google or Yahoo Maps has not been updated with the street you are looking for.
PixelPerfect is a fun little application whose sole purpose is to act as a Desktop measuring stick. You can drag the edges to make it any size you wish, or click in the top left corner to get a drop down menu that lets you set it to a few standard sizes. You can drag it around your screen to measure whatever you want . . . ok, it's not very useful, but I could see it used by developers when prototyping user interfaces.
The ScreenBoard app is my favorite of the example applications. What this application does is draw a transparent rectangle over your entire screen. You can then draw on the screen using a variety of virtual "markers". You can use the ones supplied, or create your own. Transparency support in your window manager is required for this application to work because without it, you'll just see a big black rectangle covering your entire desktop.
Issues with the Linux alpha
The MacOS and Windows versions of the AIR runtime are further along in their development than the Linux version, so there are several issues present that I hope will be addressed before it is formally released.
One very annoying issue I came across was in the sound output of AIR that caused Rhythmbox, Banshee, and other media players on my system to not be able to play sound, or even crash if there was an AIR application running when they were launched. I was able to work around this to an extent by starting my music player first and then to launch my AIR application(s). When I did that, my AIR applications would not play any sound, but at least I could listen to my music.
Another issue I ran into was that there are several applications, the eBay Desktop I mentioned earlier being one of the more prominent examples, that refuse to install or run with the Linux version of the AIR runtime. This is what I meant when I said that AIR is not fully cross platform. As the Linux version progresses towards its official release, compatibility will increase to the point where all AIR applications will run, but right now some of the more advanced ones are off-limits. It's annoying, but that's the nature of alpha-level not-yet-feature-complete software.
Probably the ugliest issue I ran into was that if you are not running a compositing window manager like Compiz, then AIR applications will be surrounded by an ugly black rectangle at best, and will be completely unusable at worst. Here are some examples of the same application first with compositing and then without.
With Compositing:
Without Compositing:
Most — but not all — AIR applications are like the
one above. They do not use the default window manager's windows.
Instead they use their own custom skins. Some of these skins rely
heavily on transparency to look good and be functional, and
without a compositing window manager you're out of luck. I don't
know that there is a way around this, so if you would like to use
AIR, you should use a compositing window manager. On Ubuntu, I
just enabled "Normal" under
System > Preferences >
Appearance > Visual Effects and transparency worked
Final Thoughts
There are a lot of application frameworks out there. You have the traditional ones like QT and GTK, newer ones like Mono (aka .Net), and now there's a new breed of frameworks like AIR that aim to integrate our Desktops with the Internet in ways that would have been unheard of just a few years ago.
The choice of whether or not to develop using AIR is an exercise best left to developers. I imagine that for web developers who have never programmed in C or any of the other traditional computer languages will find that AIR provides an easy road to building Desktop applications by using languages and technologies they already know. This is a very good thing, in my opinion.
For the rest of us, I think AIR applications are well worth checking out. They can be a mixed bag at times, especially because of the alpha nature of AIR on Linux, but the best of them are every bit as good as their traditional Desktop counterparts.
I'm pretty sure you can also use SVG in AIR

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

The Positive Effect of a Strong FIT Area continued...
The family communicates about kid-sized stress. Sarah's parents notice that she seems anxious and in a bad MOOD before school. They offer her suggestions to help her MOVE to burn off some negative energy:
- A morning walk with the dog
- Walking to school
- A quick, active video game
- Stretching with mom
Or Sarah could talk with her parents about her school and home stress and how it puts her in a sad or bad MOOD.
Sarah's parents notice she seems to be eating too much FOOD. They ask her if anything's been troubling her and affecting her MOOD. Realizing that Sarah is winding down from her school day by using food, she and her parents explore together healthier ways for her to RECHARGE. They discuss after-school activities, from dance classes to piano practice, as possible ways to help her relax in a healthier way than eating.
Sarah's parents notice weight gain. Sarah's parents may not recognize the signs of stress and overlook Sarah's down MOOD, but they may take note of her extra weight gain. In response, they could start paying a bit more attention to her FOOD. For instance, they could put healthier after-school snacks within easier reach for Sarah. And they can stop bringing home sugar-sweetened beverages that tempt most kids.
Work Together as a Family
To help children lead fit lives, it's important to not just teach them how to make healthier food choices and encourage them to move more. Parents also need to participate fully by making the same healthy changes in their own lives.
When families work together as a unit, everyone benefits. The key is to start as young as possible. "As a parent, I would start in toddlerhood and early preschool years, thinking proactively about nutrition and activity and being able build that into your family's routine," says Chris Tiongson, MD, a pediatrician with Sanford Health.
If your kids are older and you missed that opportunity, it's not too late. Pick the area from FOOD, MOVE, MOOD, or RECHARGE that you feel the most able to make change in, and focus on making that area even stronger.

Useful Information about Insurance
Women drivers including Club members can register for an insurance quote here. We will contact you at renewal time to compete with your best quote then.
- If you are paying less than £200 a year for comprehensive insurance cover, congratulations! You are unlikely to be under 25 and are doing very well.
- If you are under 25, regardless of gender, you will probably save money buying black box insurance, providing you are prepared to drive within speed limits, sometimes restricted to daylight hours, smoothly and with evident consideration for others.
- If you are between 30 and 60 years and are being sold a black box insurance policy you may want to think again. Until black boxes are compulsory, or one is already fitted in your car, you have to pay a minimum of £100 extra for a black box fitted/monitored simply to prove the fact that you are a safe driver. And chances are your insurer knows this already from your past claims record. As we see it, not everyone benefits from black box technology (other than the rich telematic companies, that is).
Car insurance buying advice for women
- If you are a novice driver we strongly recommend the Pass Plus training course. Yes it means more lessons but it'll make you a better/safer driver and many insurers will give you a significant discount.
- Similarly if you are a nervous motorist or one returning to driving after bereavement, divorce, an accident or road rage incident we recommend the IAM's Skill For Life programme. FOXY Club members get a discount and this will likely be reflected in any FOXY Lady Insurance premium.
- Do your homework first. Know your car details, any no claims bonus (NCB) entitlement, your (and any partner's) driving record and any speeding points.
- Consider multiple vehicle cover for all family cars/drivers. One policy SHOULD be cheaper than the cost of many policies but always check that you COULD unpick this and claim your accrued no claims bonus, should you need to do this in future.
- Tell the insurer your likely annual mileage – if low, this SHOULD reduce the premium.
- Ask what their maximum no claims bonus (NCB) is. If you're entitled to the maximum (c4 years no claims history) and it's less than 70% NCB there may well be a better deal out there.
- Never lie or cover up anything. Similarly economic forgetfulness is no excuse in law and COULD invalidate your insurance when you need it most.
- If you are cutting back on cover to save money, be sure you know precisely what that means. Third Party covers anyone or anything you hit but not your car. Third Party Fire and Theft is the same but adds protection against fire or theft of your vehicle. Comprehensive cover gives you all this AND vehicle protection, even if you cause the damage yourself. There is often very little difference between these cover levels so we always recommend comprehensive cover as you get so much more peace of mind.
- Always read the small print; sometimes the cover is so restrictive it may never pay out! Be on the look out for high excesses – it may be reasonable to have to pay the first £250 of any claim but think twice if this is £500+ as some are now – this COULD be more of a gamble than an insurance policy!
- Before choosing the lowest rate regardless, ask about any special features that might be included, or available at a fraction of the retail cost. For example, the likes of lost key cover, legal expenses, breakdown cover, a protected no claims bonus or even an accident/camera kit for your glovebox (in case your phone battery is low should you have an accident) are all low cost extras and can be good for your peace of mind.
- If you prefer to pay monthly, many insurers will offer this on a direct debit basis; it'll be more expensive in total of course.
- Bogus (and inflated) insurance claims are costing honest motorists c£30 each a year. If you know of an insurance claim that isn't genuine please report it to the Insurance Fraud Bureau's Cheat Line on 0800 328 2550. It's the right thing to do and it's confidential…

We propose a new framework for highly scalable video compression, using a lifting-based invertible motion adaptive transform (LIMAT). We use motion-compensated lifting steps to implement the temporal wavelet transform, which preserves invertibility, regardless of the motion model. By contrast, the invertibility requirement has restricted previous approaches to either block-based or global motion compensation. We show that the proposed framework effectively applies the temporal wavelet transform along a set of motion trajectories. An implementation demonstrates high coding gain from a finely embedded, scalable compressed bit-stream. Results also demonstrate the effectiveness of temporal wavelet kernels other than the simple Haar, and the benefits of complex motion modeling, using a deformable triangular mesh. These advances are either incompatible or difficult to achieve with previously proposed strategies for scalable video compression. Video sequences reconstructed at reduced frame-rates, from subsets of the compressed bit-stream, demonstrate the visually pleasing properties expected from low-pass filtering along the motion trajectories. The paper also describes a compact representation for the motion parameters, having motion overhead comparable to that of motion-compensated predictive coders. Our experimental results compare favorably to others reported in the literature, however, our principal objective is to motivate a new framework for highly scalable video compression.

BitTorrent is a necessary tool for so many things. Problem is it's got such a bad rep as a tool to use solely for pirating.
UbuntuShared publicly -
Wil Wheaton (Star Trek, Big Bang Theory) demonstrating how an Ubuntu 12.04 release is a good example of a legal use of bittorrent - http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2012/05/an-example-of-the-usefulness-of-bittorrent-for-entirely-legal-purposes.html

many of us agree with you whole-heartedly, +Wil Wheaton I am currently seeding (limited bandwidth, unlimited ratio) 8 varities of ubuntu and a dozen cyanogen distros.
Kristian Lundkvist
Saying that bittorrent is bad because it could be used for piracy is like saying that car are bad because you can use them to get away from a robbery: you're sort of right but it's still stupid.
+Kristian Lundkvist Books are bad because you can smash someone's head in with one.
+Chris Payne Life is bad, it might kill you (hm, maybe we should outlaw life.....).
Bacon is bad because you can die of a cholesterol induced heart attack
Ryo Cook
Well in 2009 there were 30,797 fatal car accidents in the US alone. 30,797 dead people because of something you can buy legally. Tell me, how many people were killed because of Bittorrent?
I'm not even mentioning cigarettes and alcohol here... oops, I did :)

Declan Stylofone
Well I like "piracy" and I don't feel the need for legal uses of bittorrent to make me feel good about using it for other things. It's like cannabis, they should relax the law to make it legal for personal use, while they continue to go after murderous Mexican cartels. Except in the case of bittorrent, there aren't any murderous cartels.
I use it to get linux distros too, by the way.

you should do something about lobying as citizens.You should bring an agenta out for your next elections
Grant D. Lewis
There are many companies that use internet based p2p to distribute corporate files and documents efficiently. So long as there is security on the file, it's fast and secure. Totally legitimate use.
Hollywood is really behind the times and is desperately trying to stay relevant. Bittorrent is just a distributed protocol, nothing more, nothing less. Just like https can be used to encrypt illegal transmissions, bittorrent can be used illegally. However, the protocol is perfectly legitimate. Amazon's S3 service is probably the best example of using bittorrent to solve slower transmission problems.
+Chong Luo Order it from Linux Distro. https://linux-distro.co.uk/ Way cheaper than absorbing your bandwidth. Besides, by the time you order it, it will beat the BT download. lol. P.S. I use Gentoo. lol.
+Wil Wheaton using Linux on a Mac is the definition of a contradiction!
+Malky Brown I think +Chong Luo meant BitTorrent, not British Telecom.... otherwise you were right :p
+Ryo Cook I think the actual deaths from BitTorrent use are higher than car accidents... but they were aol users.. so it's hard to know exact number
+Xing Zhou if you have to ask that question, you won't understand the answer!
+Chris Karavoulias If you are not willing to discuss your opinion, your opinion is not worthwhile to consider.
+Xing Zhou it's not an opinion... it's fact.. and since you want to argue about this and defend macs and why you use them.. don't forget to use the hashtag #thingsnoonegivesacrapabout
Also +Xing Zhou not willing to discuss with YOU does not mean something is not worth considering.. it may mean YOU are not worth discussing with... ever consider that...?
+Chris Karavoulias Well, that escalated quickly. What makes you think that I want to defend macs? Have I given any indication to what technology I use at all (other than bit torrent and Amazon S3)? What you have said are complete opinions, of which I am interested in discussing because it's useful to hear multiple perspectives on all topics. No need to become so caustic. Oh, and if this really is #thingsnoonegivesacrapabout then why consider even replying? Like I said, why do you think using Linux on Mac is a contradiction? (that's an option, not a fact).
Martin Rix
"Some ISPs are blocking all bittorrent traffic, because bittorrent can be used to share files in a piratical way."
So can port 80. I think all ISPs should block port 80. It's the only logical step.
So can port 80. I think all ISPs should block port 80. It's the only logical step.
+Martin Rix all off the Internet can be used for pirating...I think isp should bock the Internet..
Declan Stylofone
Not wanting to enter the fray or anything, but on the spectrum of open source, linux is at the "free" end, and Apple is perceived to be at the "proprietary" end. And Apple tends to position itself at the expensive end of the market too, so I see the contradiction.
+Declan Stylofone those are just two opposites you mentioned...
1) free vs as expensive and overpriced as possible
2) open source vs as closed as possible
3) works vs doesn't always work
4) uses very little resources and can run on the oldest of computers vs having to upgrade your hardware every time they update
5) for users who are technical and user linux to obtain knowledge vs hipsters who barely know technology and use a Mac cause it's fashionable
And the list goes on..

+Declan Stylofone Also, when you buy into Cupertino, you are stuck with them, there is no freedom. You have to send back your phone to get a new battery. WTF! You can't mix and match with hardware. WTF! To top it all, the goods are made in sweatshops with a history of suicide and low pay. Then the goods are imported INTO the US of A. A company that is worth billions, could help US of A pull out of recession by employing people closer to home to make their "cliquey" products. Poor call Apple.
I thought Google was taking over the world secretly!! Have they discussed this with them? :P
+B Gallagher its cause Google secretly runs the world.... They are slowing buying out every company in various industries. It wont be long before we are paying in google cash and eating google burgers from goog'donalds...:P I wonder if a google brand of ownership on our butt hurts?

U.S. Sports Desk, May 11 (EFE).- Chris Bosh asserted his presence under the glass as the Miami Heat scored a 104-94 road win over the Chicago Bulls to wrest back home-court advantage in that Eastern Conference semifinal series.
Bosh had been quiet in the first two games, but his 20 points on 8-of-16 shooting and 19 rebounds, including five offensive boards, were key in matching the Bulls' physical play and guiding the Heat to a victory Friday night at the United Center and a 2-1 series lead.
Miami pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 98-90 lead and held off the Bulls' attempt to steal the game in the final minutes, as they had in upsetting the Heat in Game 1.
LeBron James shot an inefficient 6-of-17 from the field but still led Miami with 25 points, 12 of them in the critical fourth quarter, when the Heat outscored the Bulls 34-24. He also grabbed eight rebounds and dished out seven assists.
Guard Norris Cole once again gave the Heat a boost off the bench with 18 points on 6-of-7 shooting from the field and 3-of-3 from behind the 3-point line.
Cole's effort was critical considering the mediocre play of Heat star shooting guard Dwyane Wade, who finished the game with just 10 points and did not make a single trip to the free-throw line.
All five of the Bulls' starters scored in double figures, with power forward Carlos Boozer leading the way with 21 points on 10-of-16 shooting.
Chicago center Joakim Noah also had a solid game with 15 points and 11 rebounds.
Reserve center Nazr Muhammad did not score a single point and played just two-and-a-half minutes, but he was involved in one of the game's more memorable plays when he shoved James to the floor in the second quarter and was ejected.
That left the Bulls - who are missing forward Luol Deng and guard Kirk Hinrich due to injury, not to mention 2011 NBA MVP Derrick Rose, whose status remains up in the air after missing the entire regular season while recovering from a torn ACL - with a seven-man rotation.
For the night, the Heat shot 50 percent from the field and 40 percent from 3-point range, compared to 46 percent and 32 percent, respectively, for Chicago.
Miami also more than held its own on the boards, outrebounding the Bulls 39-37 thanks in large part to Bosh's efforts.
The Heat also showcased its improved bench, outscoring the injury-plagued Bulls 36-8.
The series will stay in Chicago for Game 4 on Monday.
In another playoff game Friday night, the San Antonio Spurs also recaptured home-court advantage and a 2-1 series lead with a 102-92 road win over the Golden State Warriors.
Game 4 of that Western Conference semifinal series will be played Sunday afternoon, once again in Oakland.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai urged Pakistan on Monday to help arrange peace talks between his government and the Taliban, then took the rare step of extending his visit.
Karzai came to Islamabad to meet newly elected Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in a bid to overcome a series of public rows that have hampered efforts to end 12 years of war in Afghanistan.
Infuriated by the opening in June of a Taliban office in Qatar, considered a precursor towards talks with US officials, Karzai now wants Pakistan to help open dialogue with the militia.
Elements of the Pakistani state are widely accused of funding, controlling and sheltering the Taliban. Islamabad says publicly it will do anything to stop the fighting in Afghanistan.
But analysts doubt Pakistan has the influence to force the Taliban to the negotiating table and the insurgents have publicly refused all contact with Karzai's government, branding it a US puppet.
Karzai said Afghanistan expected Pakistan to provide "opportunities or a platform for talks between the Afghan High Peace Council" -- Kabul's official negotiators -- and the Taliban.
"We hope with this on top of our agenda we can move forward in bringing stability and peace to both countries," he told reporters.
In the past, the Afghan leader has identified Taliban havens in Pakistan as the main cause of increased violence in his country.
On Monday he acknowledged that the "continued menace of terrorism" was a primary concern for people in Pakistan, where thousands have been killed in the last decade, as well as in Afghanistan.
"It is this area that needs to have primary and focused attention by both governments," Karzai said.
"It is with hope on this that I have come to Pakistan... to advance the course of action together... but also by having a common campaign against extremism, (to) make sure that the two countries are safer and prosperous towards a secure future."
Sharif wished Afghanistan well in the transition from NATO to Afghan security control and reiterated support for peace and reconciliation to be "Afghan-owned and Afghan-led".
"I assured President Karzai that Pakistan will continue to extend all possible facilitation to the international community's efforts for the realisation of this noble goal," he said.
"I also reaffirmed Pakistan's strong and sincere support for peace and reconciliation in Afghanistan."
But there are questions over what Pakistan can deliver. Many analysts believe at most Pakistan can encourage and provide logistical support for Taliban peace talks.
There was no immediate reaction from the Taliban, who have publicly shunned all previous offers of talks.
Later on Monday, Afghan and Pakistani officials told AFP that Karzai had extended his one-day visit in the hope of having fresh talks with Sharif on Tuesday.
He would spend the night at the Pakistani hill resort of Murree, a short drive from the capital and popular with holidaymakers for its balmy summer climes in the mountains, Pakistani officials said.
He extended his trip for another day at Sharif's request, an official in Karzai's office told AFP. "He was asked to stay by Nawaz Sharif for more talks," he added.
Pakistani foreign ministry spokesman Aizaz Ahmed Chaudhry told AFP that Karzai was in Murree and would return to Kabul on Tuesday.
"We expect him to meet Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif tomorrow in Murree. The confirmation of this expected meeting and schedule of other activities will be available tomorrow," said an official in Sharif's office.
Afghan government peace negotiators accompanying Karzai earlier called for the release of the most senior Taliban figure detained in Pakistan, former deputy leader Abdul Ghani Baradar.
No mention was made about prisoner releases in the short statements made by Sharif and Karzai. Questions were not allowed.
Pakistan released 26 Taliban prisoners late last year.
Afghan officials believe former detainees may talk to the Kabul government, although observers say there is little evidence those hopes have been realised.
Several prisoners are also understood to have returned to the battlefield.
On Sunday, the Afghan Analysts Network think-tank said attempts to go through Pakistan to reach the Taliban leadership are not new and similar moves have been unsuccessful in the past.

News Another Post About Bridges
posted by January 16 at 16:10 PMon
If you're tired of all this Obama/Clinton back and forth, get ready for a mind-blowing argument against floating bridges, straight from our mail room.
Cleaned up, bolds are mine, not transcribed in all caps as it was written. Read on.
For what to do about the SR 520 hole in the water into which hundreds of millions of tax dollars are gobbled up, lets thing BIG really BIG. The Tacoma Narrows Bridge was built long before it was still strong. Yes, floating bridges are cheaper to build but must be replace more often. [unreadable].
Think BIG! A TOLL BRIDGE BUILT by a private company with tax generating very high end condos built around the towers!
Condo marinas at the base of the towers, broadcast antennae on top of towers, exclusive transitbus, rail, taxilanes, non motorized lanes. Double decker. A multi jurisdiction sheriff's boats station and multi-jurisdiction and high speed hydrofoil (!!!) fire tug would be stationed there. There are many very expensive houses and boats on Lake Washington accessible by very tiny roads and few fire hydrants.
It is time to stop throwing our tax money on it and make it PAY tax!!!
Up and over spans for the University Bridge on Montlake Bridge could be attached to the bottom of it, smoothing both land moor and marine moor traffic. EVERYBODY WINS. Tourists would arive from all over to see it and it would have a helipad and dirigible tours.
Quick! Someone call the Governor! We have a plan.

One day, we'll have to explain to our grandchildren that people used to eat burgers between mere slices of bread. First the ramen burger, now the roni roll. Yes.
So the food world is all atwitter about 300 Sandwiches. If you've been living under a rock, or don't check your food blog links 5 times a day, here's the gist: New York Post reporter Stephanie Smith was befuddled by her boyfriend's obsession with sandwiches, especially after she made him a particularly tasty one and he replied "Honey, you're 300 sandwiches away from an engagement ring." Calling his bluff, Smith started a blog chronicling her quest to make 300 perfect sandwiches, and she is damn well expecting a ring once the list is finished. Feminist bloggers were unsurprisingly appalled. Personally, my reaction was the same as pretty much any other guy's, saying to my girlfriend, H: "honey, we should do this!!!" To which I received an epic eyeroll along with a response I perhaps should have seen coming: "If you like sandwiches so much why don't you make me 300 sandwiches?"
She had a point. I do like to cook, and I am constantly perplexed at the gf's inability to understand my intense love for the magnificence of meals between bread. "I'll do it!" I said. I'll make her all 300 sandwiches, and by the end she will have to understand why I love these beauties so much. It will bring the gf and I closer together and help us land, if not a wedding date, at least a blog-to-book deal.
I set to work.
Re-creation #1: 300 Sandwiches' gorgeous mozzarella and homemade pesto BLT:
I'm usually a mess in the kitchen, but this time I followed Smith's instructions to a T — frying up crispy bacon and layering it on a baguette with pesto, arugula, tomato and fresh mozz. I resisted my urge to get creative and made just one game-time decision: frying the baguette in leftover bacon grease instead of toasting it. I mean, come on. Obviously.
I have to admit I set out wanting to make fun of Smith, but gotta give credit where credit is due: this sandwich is not only pretty, it's delicious. Definitely one of the best I've had in a while.
Um, maybe too delicious though. By the time H made it in to the kitchen, the BLT's photogenic appearance had evaporated, along with 60% of the sandwich.
Oops! No worries. Still 299 attempts left to solidify this love between myself, my girl and my lunch.

Ramen burger. It's a thing.

Go ahead and stare, it's okay. In fact, it is totally justifiable. Having trouble finding words? Let me help: BACON grilled cheese, juicy burger, cheese, fried egg, BACON grilled cheese. Drooling? You should be. And guess what? I did not find this place through"Diners, Drive Ins and Dives", or online, or through some tourist trap. This was found through word of mouth and in fact, in Bethlehem, PA, which is near the boonies (where I live).
The place: "The Wooden Match." Their slogan: "Beer. Meat. Cigars." Yes, it is a cigar bar. When first told about this, I figured I'd get a good beer, cigar, and have some wings. While the CRAFT BEER and cigars did not disappoint, the food far exceeded expectations. Even the plain burger was good. Bringing other friends to experience this greatness, we finally mustered up the courage for the "bender-ender." Just read the description again…I really don't think I need to say more.Read More›
So, at the last minute I invited my mom for dinner yesterday. She wanted to know what we were having.
After a little thought, I realized my mom's favorite savory indulgence is a fish sandwich. Basically if there's a fish sandwich on the menu anywhere, that is what she will order.
The trouble with that is fish sandwiches are usually fried (eek!) and covered in a mayonnaise-based tartar sauce. Can you even imagine the calories and fat grams?
Meh, I know you guys don't care that much about healthy food in theory. But in practice, it makes you feel better about yourself and ultimately can taste even better than the fried stuff. It's true.

Fluoride plays role in obesity
Published: Monday, January 6, 2003 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 5, 2003 at 11:51 p.m.
To The Editor: We see in the news a great deal is being made about being overweight, especially with children.
The dental association published information in the 1940s that beginning the use of fluoride should be looked at very closely because the dentists knew that it would adversely affect the thyroid gland which controls our metabolism and weight. Of course, you must remember several other things come into play, such as exercise and what one eats and drinks, but if your thyroid gland is interrupted by too much fluoride, losing pounds will be a battle.
The same applies to osteoporosis, as experts say this disease can be caused by the leaching out of the calcium from the bone. So if fluoride is removing calcium from one's bones, what is it doing to one's teeth?
Hendersonville officials should check the results from years of fluoridation in Boston, Cincinnati and New York. They are reporting extreme masses of caries in children. How come? They have been fluoridating for years.
Water is a great asset to our community. Why has the United Nations and the World Health Organization made the statement, "everyone should be entitled to have pure unpolluted water"?

All year long they have made their presence felt every time they have taken the track. Each has a specialty event that they have dominated and together they all are special as relay teams. Zariah Mercer, Zakeia Polk, Zharia Villaponda, Kathy Johnson, and Kinnikinica Bundage as a relay team have been virtually unbeatable all track season. They looked to carry that trend over into the Area Meet, with one eye on the State Track Meet in a couple of weeks. They entered the Area Meet with high expectations after the season they have enjoyed thus far.

I first noticed that my dog, Roxy Hess, had artistic intentions when she left a forceful and unmistakable message on the floor of the studio we share. Slow human that I am, I hadn't realized that Roxy was not only on top of the latest developments in the artworld, she was running amongst the pack leaders.
Art and music convey important skills that often are overlooked. Researchers have long touted their positive effects on student brain growth and development, but the exercise of those skills in artistic pursuits like band and chorus adds a whole new dimension of teamwork, perseverance and commitment.

Originally posted on Fox Sports Kansas City | Last updated 11/20/12
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Washington State's Royce Woolridge had been thinking about this game ever since he saw it on the schedule last spring. This was Kansas, the school he dreamed of playing for, the school he did play for, but just not enough to truly fulfill that dream. Woolridge transferred from KU after the 2011 season, after playing just 42 minutes as a freshman, and after fearing he would have to wait far too long before his chance at becoming a starter would materialize. So, Woolridge, a 6-foot-3 guard, sat out a year and earned a starting job with the Cougars this season. And Monday night, he got to square off against his old team and several of his old friends in the CBE Classic at the Sprint Center. It just didn't turn out quite the way Woolridge had wished. Not by a long shot. Woolridge and the Cougars simply got ran over by the Kansas Jayhawks, 78-41, in a game that was truly over before many of the Jayhawks faithful even got settled in their seats. KU bolted to a 10-2 lead, then pulled away methodically in building a 50-21 halftime lead. KU then completely buried the Cougars in the second half, prompting Jayhawks coach Bill Self to start emptying his bench with 10 minutes to go. "Of course, I was looking forward to this game," Woolridge said afterward. "Obviously I played there and I have friends there. I was really looking forward to it. "It's hard. They played well. Really not much I can say. They scouted us real good. It was hard to make things happen. Everything we tried to do, they stopped. I tip my hat to them." Actually, Woolridge had a hunch this reunion wasn't going to go particularly well. "Sure, I'm disappointed," he said. "But I don't know that we expected to win. But to get beat by 40 or whatever it was, it's going to hurt." Woolridge had tried to warn his new teammates what a run-in with Kansas might be like. "I told them what little I know," he said, "but it was pretty much the same what the scouts told them. "I just told them to get ready to play and play hard. It's obvious. You just have to look at (Kansas). They're No. 12. They're Kansas. You know how good they're going to be." Did his Cougars teammates believe him? "They better have," Woolridge said, smiling. "I mean, it's Kansas. You don't need to tell them very much. It's one of the best programs there is." . Woolridge himself had a tough enough time trying to maneuver past the swarming Jayhawks defense. He played 33 minutes but scored just five points, hitting just two of six shots, one being a three-pointer. "I tried some things," he said. "It was tough because they had us down pretty good. It felt good to hit that three but I should have hit a lot more. Just one of those nights." Woolridge provided just one assist and turned the ball over a team-high five times. "Like I said, they were ready for us," he said. "Everything we did, they were ready for." The night wasn't a total disaster for Woolridge, though. He did get to say hi to a lot of old friends, starting with Jayhawks guard Elijah Johnson, whom he was probably closest to when he was a freshman at KU. "It was good to see him," Woolridge said. "I talked to him. Nothing too serious. He just said 'Good luck' and 'Are you ready?' And then we just started playing and you kind of lose track of who you're playing." And afterward? "They didn't say much," he said. "They just told me good luck for the next game. It was good to see them. I just wish we had played better. "But hey, they played great. I give them credit. They're Kansas. That's who they are." And Woolridge would know.
