Investors in the open source e-commerce platform include Thrive Capital and the Vegas Tech Fund.
Open-source e-commerce platform provider Spree Commerce Inc. has raised $5 million in venture funding. Spree says the money will allow it to build out its platform faster.
Thrive Capital, which has previously invested in online eyeglass retailer Warby Parker, led the funding round. Also taking part are Vegas Tech Fund, whose partners include Tony Hseih, CEO of Amazon.com Inc. subsidiary Zappos.com, Red Swan Ventures and existing investors.
The co-founder of Red Swan Ventures is Andy Dunn, co-founder of online apparel e-retailer Bonobos Inc. Bonobos uses Spree Commerce's platform for Ayr.com, the women's apparel site Bonobos launched in November. It also uses Spree's "hub" program for Bonobos.com to connect the Bonobos.com storefront, which is built on eBay Inc.'s Magento platform, to its accounting and planning software.
"The combination of their hub and storefront software is a game changer for our software engineers who now love their jobs, our consumers who get a faster user experience, and our internal teams who are starting to benefit from an integrated platform," Dunn says. Bonobos is No. 405 in Internet Retailer's Top 500 Guide.
Spree Commerce says other online retailers using its open-source programs include Quarterly Co., a subscription-based e-retailer, and luxury handbag and accessory e-retailer 3.1 Phillip Lim.
"Spree Commerce technology empowers sellers at any stage of their company's growth," says Sean Schofield, CEO of Spree Commerce. "This funding will allow us to build upon our already solid foundation and accelerate the pace of our innovation in the e-commerce space."
One big one: attracting sellers by eliminating listing fees.

GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) -Rangers narrowly avoided humiliation in its first ever match outside the top tier of Scottish football, needing a 90th-minute equalizer from Andy Little to draw at Peterhead 2-2 in Division Three on Saturday.
The 54-time Scottish champions were relegated to the fourth tier, Scotland's lowest professional league, because of tax debts exceeding $30 million.
Teen Barrie McKay gave Rangers the lead in the 27th at Balmoor, watched by a capacity crowd of around 4,000. Peterhead struck back with second-half goals from Rory McAllister and Scott McLaughlin.
St. Mirren took the provisional lead of the Scottish Premier League with 4 points from two games after winning at Dundee 2-0 with goals from Kenny McLean and Sam Parkin.
Defending champion Celtic, Dundee United and Hearts are 1 point behind but have all played just one match.
Also Saturday, it was: Aberdeen 0, Ross County 0; Inverness 1, Kilmarnock 1; and Motherwell 1, St. Johnstone 1.
Hearts plays at Hibernian on Sunday.

Alright, I'm calling it: ugly Christmas sweaters just aren't funny anymore. Some have rung the death toll for this Christmas trend long before me, but now it's time to put the final nail in the coffin.
What started out as a small-scale holiday event where kitsch-lovers could comb through the racks of thrift stores and estate sales for the most horrendously ironic of Christmas cardigans (think: bright pink sweaters with puffy-paint kittens and Christmas trees) has been ruined the way most fun things are: by stores trying to monetize a trend.
From Urban Outfitters moody models trying to look sexy in oversized sweaters with gold sleighs to the NBA – yes, the NBA – making their own ugly Christmas sweatshirts printed in team colors, here are the worst offenders we could find.

The Justice Department is working on a secure way to allow police in different jurisdictions to share information
In my recent column in the Feb. 8 issue ("Google Gets It: Trust, But Verify"), I discussed how Google's software developers were building a model for sharing and trust inside the Wave application. Wave and other collaboration platforms aim to use digital means to enable individuals to work together.
That makes a great deal of sense to free/open-source software developers such as those who built and continue to refine Linux, Apache and MySQL. In free/open-source software development, the idea is that individuals who are scattered across the world work on the pieces of the project they are best able to tackle, a sort of specialization by self-evident expertise. In addition, the entire community reviews the work and decides which pieces are desirable and what can be jettisoned. Furthermore, many people are looking at the software code, which helps with quality control.
Not surprisingly, the business of government does not function like a free/open-source software project. In government, there are clear divisions of power between branches, levels and agencies. Anyone who spent time in government is used to hearing, "That's best left to the states," or "Treasury's the lead agency for that."
Large companies often function that way, too. Division of labor and specialization are classic 20th-century concepts that were adopted because they worked pretty well. However, Henry Ford never figured there would be a community of practice for windshield installers or exhaust system engineers at his company's plants. Yet that sort of horizontal activity, enabled by information technology, is exactly what's going on in large organizations today.
The 2001 terrorist attacks were the impetus for the transformation of thinking in U.S. law enforcement and the intelligence community. After the attacks, agency leaders were criticized for not sharing information, and they pledged to do something about it.
The subject of information sharing in government deserves many book-length studies. But the key point to understand in making cool, collaborative work happen is that the most formidable obstacles are organizational, not technical. We're getting pretty good at making information systems do some interesting things, but rewiring bureaucrats is much, much harder.
At the Justice Department, officials have been trying to correct that. They have been working on a tool to facilitate cross-organizational information sharing for law enforcement agencies — from the FBI and Secret Service to state and local police departments. The label is an awkward one, even for government, but Global Federated Identity and Privilege Management is a set of rules for allowing police in different jurisdictions to share their information resources. Although the tool naturally has some people concerned about privacy, GFIPM managers have been sensitive to those concerns from the start and have gone to some lengths to keep data resources with their rightful custodians rather than creating a central data repository.
If law enforcement agencies can make GFIPM work, they will move one step closer to the goal of knowledge management: delivery of the best possible information to decision-makers at the right time. Achieving that goal will help law enforcement professionals connect the dots on cases ranging from electronic fraud and car theft to gang violence and terrorism. GFIPM will allow them to make useful contributions by bringing experience into the policy process.

Current Research
My laboratory focuses on identifying clinical risk markers of psychosis and implementing interventions for individuals at risk for or diagnosed with Schizophrenia-spectrum disorders. In our first line of research, we utilize novel experimental procedures to investigate predictors of Formal Thought Disorder. In previous studies, we have employed behaviorally based process measures of speech to examine the role of atypical semantic activation, working memory, and increased stress in thought disorder, and highlighted how these components affect disorganized speech at different points on the Schizophrenia-spectrum. Ultimately, this research could lead to the discovery of a behavioral endophenotype for Schizophrenia and provide a better understanding of thought disorder's underlying components.
A second line of research concentrates on treatments designed to improve the severe cognitive deficits observed in Schizophrenia. I am particularly interested in addressing psychosis in the initial stages, as there is substantial evidence that deficits can be reduced when interventions begin early. Currently, my primary focus is centered on cognitive remediation strategies. These approaches have the potential for preventing or delaying cognitive decline in individuals at risk for psychosis and reducing cognitive symptoms in clients with Schizophrenia, which could ultimately pave the way for increased social and occupational functioning.
There are a number of exciting avenues to take both lines of research. Currently, I am interested in: 1) developing ecologically valid assessments of formal thought disorder using process and computerized measures of disorganized speech, 2) integrating process measures of disorganized speech with other measurements of language processing, 3) exploring cognitive enhancement strategies for specific cognitive deficits, and 4) investigating how motivation and stress reactivity affect response to treatment at varying points on the psychosis spectrum.

Welcome Back Culture Wars?
Sarah Palin came out swinging last night in what's been argued as the biggest speech of her life. She delivered it well, but it was a "small speech," says Slate.com XX Factor blogger Dahlia Lithwick. Like Ann Coulter, Lithwick argues, Palin is cashing on the ability of pretty women to say mean things. Fellow blogger Rachael Larimore tells Alex Chadwick, that Palin strikes her as "a quick learner."

Such a person being the master over heaven and earth, by means of his will, is a magus, and magic is not sorcery but supreme wisdom. ~ Paracelsus

September 11, 2001: Was It Prophesied?
In July, 2000, astrologer Louis Turi posted some predictions on his website about disastrous events that would take place in September, 2001. Turi, who claims to make "predictions in the art of Nostradamus," made this forecast, in part:
Bad news ahead for any and all denominations where religious figures will "pass over." In 1998 the same type of celestial energy produced a murder in the Vatican followed by a suicide, which forced the Pope to address to the world in sadness. The Middle East "US surprising bombing attack" on Saddam Hussein forces in Iraq also took place under these circumstances. This energy can affect sophisticated electronic equipment and produce a bad aeronautic accident. Deception, illusion and secret affairs are on the agenda.
The same Neptunian energy produced the Valdez, the Concordia disasters and the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. Expect a general feeling of hopelessness plaguing the media and the church authorities. Deceiving news will take place and affect many of us; some desperate souls will fall for Neptune's suicidal tendency and some will end up in jail or a mental institution. This trend will be very difficult for some, but do not lose faith in yourself and trust the Universe; get all the help you can to fight Neptune's depressive tendencies; amuse yourself, keep busy and let go of the past. Life must go on. Expect anything surprising, even incredible to take place soon and see the real power of both Uranus, the planet of sudden release of energy in action and Saturn forcing the government to take drastic actions.
It's easy to pick out many of the key words and phrases that can relate to the WTC attack. Was the tragedy foretold in the stars and planets, or is this just another remarkable coincidence?

This $100 smartwatch is powered by Android
The smartwatch market may not be the next big thing as many hoped it would be, but that isn't stopping countless smaller companies from trying to take a piece of the pie. The latest effort comes from a Chinese company called Mobvoi and is an Android-based smartwatch complete with its own proprietary software and voice assistant. The Ticwatch 2 is launching through a Kickstarter campaign today and is expected to hit retail availability in the US and Europe this fall. The starting price for backers is under $100.

Open is the solution to improving 21st century education
Much of the Internet runs Linux and open source software, yet in most of our schools—whether PK-12 or higher education—Linux and open source software are given short shrift. Linux has made serious inroads on hand-held devices, the desktop, and the Internet of things (IoT) that use platforms such as Raspberry Pi, Galileo, and Arduino. Despite this astounding growth, a relatively small number of secondary and post-secondary schools offer technology training that prepares students for increasingly in-demand technical skills. The growth of the maker movement and the concurrent interest in STEM skills, which include coding and ethical hacking, may provide a much-needed impetus to change this trend.

Which type of test is most appropriate for this comparative-descriptive study? I have two groups of subjects (250 in each). My goal is to determine if the two subject groups are different and if so, how. I'm using an online survey of 50 statements (embedded are 5 statements about 10 different possible factors). Subjects rate these statements on a Likert scale from "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree". Do I have to use a t-test or a logistic regression to determine categorical differences, and predictors?

If you have a rating scale (what you're incorrectly calling a Likert scale) with a lot of levels, say about 10, then it's sort of OK to treat the values of the scale as interval. Small scales should not be treated this way. Nevertheless, it sounds like you're actually generating a Likert scale, which is the aggregate, usually sum, of the collections of ratings that you've gathered, and not any individual rating (your question confuses that issue). In that case it's usually fine to just treat it as interval data.
You could use a non-parametric test or parametric test. It's going to come down to whether you think some kind of model can be fit to the data and you can estimate parameters of it. Does the central limit theorem suggest the data are normally distributed and the resulting distributions in line with that? If so, a t-test is probably fine. If not then perhaps a simple non-parametric test of some kind. I'd probably prefer in your case to bootstrap a confidence interval of the effect.
Regarding logistic regression, perhaps you were considering it because, while the full scale can be treated as interval, ordinal logistic regression could be used on an individual rating regardless of whether there are a large or small number of levels and it's designed specifically for that kind of thing. There's a fairly nice
The t-test is not appropriate for the data you have. With ordinal data or Likert scales, as in your case, you should use Wilcoxon's rank-sum test, sometimes also called the Mann–Whitney U test. Using this test, you can assess for each of the 50 statements if there is a statistically significant difference between the two groups.
This test should be available in your favorite statistical software. Moreover, it is not too hard to compute this test using a spreadsheet.
(I wanted to comment on lejohn's post, but I can's seem to find the option anywhere.)
Likert scales are almost always treated as interval level data. I'm guessing that, based on your original post, you will not be treating each item separately, but will be aggregating to create 10 subscales composed of 5 items each (using either the sum or the mean score). Unless these subscales have distributions that are extremely non-normal or have wildly heterogeneous variances between your subsamples, you are safe, and in my opinion advised, to use a t test (and perhaps a Bonferroni correction or similar).

Syrian Government Troops Kill Three During Protest
DAMASCUS—At least three people were shot dead by government forces and scores more were injured Sunday in the coastal city of Banias, as Syria's unrest took a decisive hold in the north and continued into its third consecutive day.
Protests broke out in Banias, an important port and oil refining city 25 miles south of Latakia, on Friday as they have done in previous weeks. But this time, they appeared bigger and better organized, activists said. In response, Syrian authorities deployed military and security forces to block access to the city. Communications networks were interrupted before the forces began to attack the protesters, activists said.
The clashes continued through Sunday, as the violence between protesters and the government escalated. Eyewitnesses reported shooting in Banias in the morning and in the afternoon. The city is a stronghold of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's Alawite sect.
Regional Upheaval
Track events in the Middle East and North Africa day by day.
Also on Sunday, mourners in Douma and Deraa, two main hubs of protest, took to the streets as Mr. Assad said the country was "on the road" to "comprehensive reforms." Mr. Assad's remarks came in statement after a meeting in Damascus with the Bulgarian foreign minister.
The protests in Syria began three weeks ago and already have taken root in the coastal cities of Jabla and Latakia, north of Banias.
The violence in Banias came as the Syrian government moved to harden its stance toward protesters. "There is no more room for leniency or tolerance," a statement by the Ministry of Interior on Friday said, according to Syria's official media agency SANA. It added that it would preserve the security of the country and protect the general order "according to the law which specified the conditions for using weapons."
Human-rights organizations said at least 27 people were killed in Deraa on Friday and 10 elsewhere in the bloodiest day since Syria's uprising started on March 18. On Saturday, clashes again erupted between protesters and security forces in Deraa as mourners attended mass funerals for some of those killed on Friday. It was unclear whether anyone had died.
Activists said that Banias was in virtual lockdown Sunday, making information hard to obtain, while human-rights observers said they were concerned by the rapidly growing death toll, as well as by reports that the injured were being stopped from seeking medical treatment.
"Syrian security forces are committing what amounts to a crime against humanity," said Radwan Ziadeh, the head of the Damascus Center for Human Rights and a visiting scholar at George Washington University, who is monitoring the violence. "On Friday once again the security forces are shooting at nurses in ambulances, preventing treatment of the injured and blocking their arrival to the hospitals whilst other people are too scared to seek treatment," he said.
U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday condemned the crackdown in Syria. "I strongly condemn the abhorrent violence committed against peaceful protesters by the Syrian government today and over the past few weeks," Mr. Obama said in a written statement.
Foreign and domestic observers say it is becoming increasingly difficult to see a way out of the crisis, which is posing an increasing challenge to Mr. Assad's Baath party regime, in power since 1963.
Mr. Assad has yet to offer concrete reforms that meet protesters' demands, including the lifting of emergency law and the release of political prisoners. As reforms continue to be delayed, rising chants for the toppling of the regime have been heard.
"This is more and more unease as Syrians wonder how it is possible to get out of this situation," said Rime Allaf, a Syrian analyst at London's Chatham House, a think tank in the U.K. "If the authorities want to calm the situation down, they need to stop using violence. It is only encouraging more people to come out."
Mr. Assad's brutal crackdown while causing fear to spread across the country, appears to have had the overall effect of encouraging more people to take to the streets.
Meanwhile, there are initial signs that the government's response is causing discontent among regime loyalists as well as the general public. On Saturday Samira Masalma, the editor of state newspaper Tishreen, was sacked after criticizing the security apparatus's use of force against protesters.
Several regime members are from Deraa, including Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mikdad and Vice President Farouk al-Sharaa. Some analysts said they still believe Mr. Assad can offer reforms to quell the unrest. But activists in Damascus said this course of action seemed unlikely.
One activist said Friday's statement by the government was being interpreted by protesters as a revocation of Mr. Assad's order, already flouted, that live fire won't be used. "If there was no order to shoot before, I fear what scale of violence we will see now," said the activist, who asked not to be named.

Architecture plays a key role in movies
Published: Sunday, January 1, 2006 at 4:29 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 1, 2006 at 8:35 a.m.
Lights! Camera! Architecture?
It may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about the movies. But since the beginning of motion pictures, architecture frequently has played a lead role. Buildings and context contribute support to character development, and also help you understand the subtleties of the plot unfolding right in front of your eyes.
Architecture films
"Metropolis" (1927)
"North by Northwest" (1959)
"A Boy and His Dog (1975)
"Star Wars" series (1977, 1980, 1983, 1999, 2002, 2005)
"Blade Runner" (1982)
"Dune" (1984)
"Edward Scissorhands" (1990)
"Aliens3" (1992)
"The Fifth Element" (1997)
"The Truman Show" (1998)
"Titus" (1999)
"Spaces: The Architecture of Paul Rudolph" (1983)
"The Cruise" (1998)
"My Architect" (2003)
"Sketches of Frank Gehry" (2005)
"Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House" (1948)
"The Fountainhead" (1949)
"Strangers When We Meet" (1960)
"The Belly of an Architect" (1987)
"Mystic Pizza" (1988)
"Intersection" (1994)
"There's Something About Mary" (1998)
"White Noise" (2005)
"Diamonds Are Forever" (1971)
"Superman II" (1980)
"Beetlejuice" (1988)
"Sleeping With the Enemy" (1991)
"Ice Storm" (1997)
"L.A. Confidential" (1997)
"The Glass House" (2001)
"Life as a House" (2001)
Consider "The Truman Show." In the film, Truman Burbank, played by Jim Carrey, lives in the idyllic American town and has a perfect life. But he finds out that his life is not real; instead it's part of a long-running TV show with millions of viewers who have watched Truman grow from a child to a man.
The film is set in Seaside, Fla., a perfect supporting actor because Seaside itself is so manicured that one could hardly imagine it a real place. Duany Plater-Zyberk, the firm that master-planned Seaside, created this "set" from a model urban code, a recipe based on vernacular houses in small towns throughout the South. This nostalgia-drenched approach created the ideal backdrop for Truman's so-called wonderful life.
Other films, such as "Edward Scissorhands," written and directed by Tim Burton, use a different type of master-planned environment for their sets -- suburban sprawl.
Edward, played by Johnny Depp, is a man created in a laboratory by an inventor who dies shortly before Edward is completed. Edward sits alone in his castle until he meets a local woman who brings him home to Suburbia, a neighborhood of cookie-cutter homes, individualized only by different shades of pastel paint. The movie, also filmed in Florida, features real buildings, easier than constructing them on a studio back lot in Los Angeles. The mockery of the typical suburban American lifestyle provides endless enjoyment, as the "freak" Edward, as it turns out, is the only "real" person.
In both of these films, the house is very much a part of the story. And domestic architecture often takes on a specific role, with design styles fitting certain character types. In Architectural Record's April 2002 issue, architecture critic Thomas Hine, explains the vilification of the modern glass house.
"While the ideology behind these buildings celebrated freedom and flexibility, light and air, Modern houses in the movies are often identified with sinister characters and arbitrary power," writes Hine.
It is easy to recall scenes from the James Bond 007 film series, where villains live in ultra-slick modern homes. In "Diamonds Are Forever," Bond's enemy, Ernst Stavros Blofeld, lives in the house designed by noted California architect John Lautner. The cast-in-place, concrete-and-glass Elrod House in Palm Springs supports the Hollywood stereotype role of the modern house as evil.
When real places aren't used as "sets," directors often turn to architects, set designers and animators to create futuristic architectural environments. Such films as "Blade Runner," the "Star Wars" series, "Dune" and "The Fifth Element" simulate real places in the imagined world.
"The most careful filmmakers use color, lighting and constructed views to create an artificial universe in much the same way that a good architect creates a building," said Mark Weston, a local intern architect who wrote his architectural thesis, "Crisis," about "the deconstruction and realignment of familiarity through video and televisual devices" while studying at the University of Michigan.
"Dialogue notwithstanding, the best films are a result of spatial thinking," explains Weston.
Superman's "Fortress of Solitude," a crystalline ice home in the Arctic, is achieved by creative use of light and set design, and in the film "Superman II," the design of the building is actually discussed.
"This place is beyond architectural theory," said Lex Luthor, played by Gene Hackman. "This place is genius."
Over the past century, several movies have featured architect characters in the leading role. Notables include "The Fountainhead," "Strangers When We Meet," and "Mr. Blandings Builds his Dream House."
"The Fountainhead" is referential throughout to the famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, for the main character of Howard Roark, played by Gary Cooper. Roark's design for Austin Heller's house in the film is almost a duplicate of Wright's most famous house, Fallingwater.
And the ego of Roark in the movie is not unlike the real-life personality of Wright.
"I don't build in order to have clients; I have clients in order to build," said Roark, when asked to do a building imitating a historical architectural style. He adamantly refuses to do work except of something that he creates new with his "own mind" and of his "own making."
"A building has integrity, just like a man; and just as seldom," explained Roark to illustrate his point.
Not just fictional architects are in the movies. The enormous popularity in the past decade of documentaries has inspired more than a few filmmakers to chronicle architects and their projects. "My Architect: A Son's Journey" tells the tale of Nathanial Kahn, illegitimate son of a famous architect, the late Louis I. Kahn, and his quest to find out more about the father he barely knew. The film takes the viewer around the world, visiting Kahn's monumental works of architecture, while Nathanial Kahn tries to piece together clues about his father's life.
Another documentary, "The Cruise," stars Tim "Speed" Levitch, a tour guide for the Gray Line double-decker buses in New York City. Levitch's passion for the metropolis carries the audience through the city and relays some personal information about him along the way. An expert on the history the architecture and its occupants, Levitch brings alive the city, its buildings and bridges, sneaking on to roofs of skyscrapers, spending hours with the Brooklyn Bridge and riding around on the bus with more knowledge than any architect or historian could give about New York.
So turn down the lights, pop some popcorn and grab the best seat in your house to watch some of these fascinating architectural flicks.

Sept. 18, 2012
WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University volleyball team lost their first home contest of the season 3-1 against Liberty at McDonough Arena on Tuesday night. Set scores were 21-25, 25-18, 26-28, and 20-25.
In the opening set the two teams appeared very evenly matched. The set consisted of 16 ties and six lead changes, but the Flames pulled away for the victory.
Georgetown responded with a convincing second set win. Leading 21-15 late in the set, Liberty scored three straight points, cutting the lead to 21-18. GU then called a timeout, and proceeded to win the next four points to take the set.
"There was really nothing specific I told them" said seventh-year head coach Arlisa Williams, "I just reminded them to be composed, take care of the first ball, and let's terminate it."
Williams noted "If you look at the last few matches we've played, our team chemistry and discipline were better tonight."
Three players hit over .600 in that set, including Dani White (Mission Viejo, Calif.) who had 10 of her 18 kills in the second. Annalee Abell (Lexington, Ky.) hit .636 in the set and recorded seven of her 13 kills.
Senior Lindsay Wise (Raleigh, N.C.) hit .583 to lead the Hoyas, and posted seven kills.
With the Hoyas trailing 21-24 in the third, two service errors by the Flames put the score at 23-24. Sensing control slipping away, Liberty called a timeout to regroup. Georgetown was able to extend the set, but still wound up losing it 26-28.
The fourth set was much more one-sided, as Liberty never trailed. After the Flames took a 12-14 lead, the Hoyas would not get closer than four points again in the match. The Flames' Loren Thomas played a tremendous match, hitting a career-high .700 with 15 kills. Caroline Douglas led Liberty with 18 kills.
Liberty won the error battle, recording 16 to Georgetown's 19. While GU only had three more errors than their opponent, several of them were costly, including two in a row to end the critical third set.
"We've talked a lot about reducing our errors and especially our unforced errors" said Williams. "We have got to reduce that number if we're going to be successful."
The Blue & Gray will open BIG EAST conference play this weekend with two road matches. They travel to Queens, N.Y. to face St. John's Friday at 7 p.m., and then meet Connecticut in Storrs, Conn. on Sunday at 2 p.m.
GU's next home match is Friday, Sept. 28 at 7 p.m. against BIG EAST conference foe Seton Hall.

Sightings' Through the Panama
Einstürzende Neubauten, electro, the Jesus and Mary Chain, minimal techno, Suicide, Iannis Xenakis, and electric Mileswhat a list, right? Not only is Through the Panama, Sightings' sixth album since 2002, a post-everything fusion of all these jammers, it's a new form of modern rock. Thirty years from now, stoned heads will worship this static-soaked slab like some kind of White Light/White Heat for the age of melted polar icecaps.
That's serious hyperbole, no doubt about it. But it's been years (Six Finger Satellite's Severe Exposure in 1995?) since an underground rock band has dropped an album this heavy, noisy, experimental, and . . . catchy. For years, Sightings were considered the scuzz-rock stepchildren of New Yorkfar more difficult even than the mercurial Gang Gang Dance. But the group has now caught up with Liars and Animal Collective in terms of transforming extreme sounds into barbed hooks and power-drill dance grooves; producer Andrew W.K. (remember him?) deserves a lot of the credit, presiding over an immaculately chiseled recording that vibrates with phantom electricity, fourth-dimension overdubs, and knotted texture.
Ultimately, though, success hinges upon singer-guitarist Mark Morgan, bassist Richard Hoffman, and digital drummer Jon Lockie. While these guys breathe fire like a trio of '50s jazzbos (dig Hoffman's latticework runs on "Perforated"), they use all that burned oxygen to illuminate a set of deeply gothic compositions boasting more pointed arches and vertical piers than Notre Dame. And if that's not enough, Sightings even cover a Walker Brothers tune, "The Electrician," which will have you slowly howling "and kill me and kill me and kill me" for the next six months.

Future wireless embedded devices will be increasingly powerful, supporting many more applications, including one of the most crucial, which is security. Although many embedded devices offer more resistance to bus probing attacks due to their compact size, susceptibility to power or electromagnetic analysis attacks must be analyzed. This paper presents a table masking countermeasure to resist differential power analysis (DPA) and differential electromagnetic analysis (DEMA). Real power and EM measurements are used to verify the countermeasure using second- and third-order DPA and DEMA attacks on a popular low-energy embedded ARM processor. Results show that the new table masking countermeasure provides increased security without large overheads of energy dissipation compared with previous countermeasures. With the emergence of security applications personal digital assistants, cellphones, and other embedded devices, low-energy countermeasures for resistance to DPA/DEMA are crucial for supporting future wireless embedded systems

No. All that "all formats" means is that the file selection dialogue will show you files of all formats rather than only that particular format.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A lawmaker doesn't want the governor delaying tax refunds to help the state cope with budget difficulties.
State Rep. Mike Reynolds, R-Okla. City, proposed Tuesday a measure to require that refunds be mailed within 30 days of receipt of a tax return. Reynolds said the bill is needed to prevent tax refunds from being withheld in what he called a misguided attempt to deal with the state's budget shortfall.
According to Reynolds, current law allows a governor to order the state Tax Commission to delay the issuance of tax refunds until June 30. He said other states have used such methods to delay necessary budget cuts.

Data Sharing
Information superiority is critical to our nation's future, particularly in the realms of defense and homeland security. But beyond access to more types of information than one's adversary, that superiority also requires the ability to process that information faster and more efficiently.
America's information capital is vast. Yet technological obstacles and territorial mind-sets at agencies thwart efforts to bring to bear the full power of all the information residing in federal databases.
Information interoperability addresses the system-level obstacles that prevent information exchange. It acknowledges that independently developed systems use different formats, meanings and standards, and often contain information of varying quality and security levels.
Neutral data models and Web 2.0 technology that allows for semantic mediation are the best tools for achieving governmentwide information interoperability. They provide both a technique and a technology for sharing information where there is no need for specific knowledge about the organizations with which information will be shared.
For example, any organization can map a widget to a universal meaning within a neutral model and share it with every organization using that neutral model. When drivers and events change a widget's definition, the widget owner can remap it without affecting the ability to share accurate information among organizations in real time. Semantic concepts allow information to be combined across sources to augment meaning and sharing, thereby enhancing an organization's overall information enterprise.
Until recently, government agencies primarily used two neutral models: Universal Core and the Justice Department's National Information Exchange Model. The Defense Department's decision in October 2012 to use NIEM made it the de facto standard neutral model, paving the way for greater collaboration among law enforcement, defense and homeland security entities.
In addition to the tools, information superiority also demands a dynamic structure that can accommodate an individual organization's changes without disrupting the overall information-sharing environment. To achieve such a structure, use the following best practices:
1. Avoid single-purpose solutions. Appreciate the need for future information-sharing requirements rather than focus exclusively on the specific communication issue at hand. Embrace universal technologies in the selected solution.
2. Allow operational language autonomy. Let organizations retain their unique vernacular. Forcing conformity is costly and shortsighted.
3. Think in a global sense. Determine what information your agency owns and consider what other entities might be consumers of that information. Keeping others' requirements at the forefront promotes information superiority and allows the information enterprise to grow.
4. Identify what your organization requires. Determine what information will enhance your organization's analytical and situational awareness. Knowing what data is needed to expand your posture will influence your sharing community choices and neutral model participation.
5. Select an appropriate neutral model. Understand your business/mission as a first step, including what will be shared and what is needed to achieve organizational goals. That definition will elucidate the dimensions of the optimal neutral model. Then, map current business processes while knowing that future changes will require remapping.
6. Map to the specific elements in the neutral model. Adhere to this approach to facilitate information sharing and provide direct linkages to other organizations. Then, when another organization wants to access data, it will be mapped and translated in a way that the requesting organization can use in a language native to that organization.
7. Be mindful of security considerations. Recognize that data can be classified (and unavailable for universal consumption) and unclassified. Two key business decisions that inform neutral model design and affect cross-domain issues are: Who needs to see this information, and who do I need to share it with?

Music to Your Ears
By Laura Marrich
One for the Road—It's an exciting time for local crooner Tommy Gearhart. Last September, he released a collection of standards called Autumn Serenade; his way of cracking open a window in a charming but creaky old house, inviting a fresh breeze to circulate through its rooms and ruffle the pages of the American song book. And now velvet-voiced Tommy will carry the torch of, well, torch jazz on a four-city tour across the Midwest (specifically, he'll light up Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland, and Cincinnati).

Eek-A-Mouse is still in Ketchum, Idaho, when we speak. It's hard to imagine what the 3,000 or so people who live in Ketchum think of the Mouse, a six-and-a-half foot Jamaican reggae legend. But Eek-A-Mouse loves the West. He declared himself a cowboy in the mid-'90s and has donned a cowboy hat ever since. He's been on tour for about three weeks now, though really, he says, the road has been his home for the last 30 years or so. "That's how it goes," he says. "It's my life."
Sonic ReducerMinmae 835 · RJD2 The Third Hand · Olav Larsen & The Alabama Rodeo Stars Love's Come to Town
By Marisa Demarco
What does "indie rock" even mean anymore? Minmae, kind of a rock-starless anti-band, is what I wish it meant. 835 gives you your simmering tempos under no virtuosity and that peculiar male indie rock/folk voice. But Minmae, which is mostly Sean Brooks, takes it further with delicate, wilting arrangements and surprising instruments. Brooks is not a guy who's afraid to let his pop sensibility deflate and crumple into a noisy heap, though I hear this is actually his most accessible work to date. Why is it that the guys who aren't necessarily trying to make pop are often the best at it?

NC corrects Revolutionary War markerBreaking News
tags: American Revolution, North Carolina, Revolutionary War, Times-News
After nearly 75 years, a piece of local Revolutionary War history has been rewritten.
On Friday, a state historical marker indicating a decisive Revolutionary War battleground in Alamance County was changed to reflect more accurate information unearthed by two historians.
"Alamance County has been told the incorrect information since 1938," Stewart Dunaway said to a Southern Campaigns of the American Revolution tour group, which had gathered at the fork of N.C. 49 and Anthony Road, south of Interstate 40/85....

When I turn my computer on, my keyboard is off so I can't change the boot order, and other settings. I put in my XP installation disk once and my keyboard turns on when it gets to the screen that says "Press any key to boot into CD"(or something like that, I can't remember for sure)my keyboard turns on, but when I have booted into the CD and get to the screen where you choose whether to reformat, install xp, etc., my keyboard turns off. I don't need a specific answer for my motherboard and bios, and I don't need to know how to fix it, I'm just curious as to why it happens. Edit: I forgot to mention that it is a usb keyboad.
Do you have a USB keyboard? In early boot stages, some motherboards will not supply power to the USB slots yet. Some will allow you to configure it for USB power on at boot to work around this problem. You could also use a PS/2 keyboard.
Edit: Your edit confirms my assumptions :)
Actually your BIOS of your PC's motherboard doesn't support USB Interface during booting !!
1> go for a adapter/converter which can change USB connector to PS/2 or even serial it is easily available in market.
2> upgade your BIOS version which is definitely hard nut to crack and risky.
The problem is not that your keyboard is "turning off". At that stage of installation process XP hasn't loaded any USB drivers so your keyboard is not being detected.
Most motherboards offer PS/2 emulation for this problem - the motherboard will present a USB keyboard as PS/2 when the PC is running in DOS mode.

I'm running Debian for my home-server, which is a machine that lives under the telly in the living room and stores the family's photo's, videos, music, etc. I'm using all the usual services to serve these up to whoever deserves them, and it all works. So far so good.
Can't get my kids to use things like ftp or even email, to them "the internetz" means a web browser. Firefox usually. So i'm using apache2 to serve cgi pages generated from code compiled by me written in C. And that all works.
So I want to be able to stream the music, films, television recordings, etc. to web browsers, and despite the emergence of the media tag in html5, flash is still really the only practical solution that actually works.
I've been able to get a cgi program to convert mp3's, avi's and suchlike to flash as flv files using ffmpeg, on demand from the user, stored in a temporary file under DOCUMENT_ROOT and the browser will play them, and that works. e.g:
ffmpeg -i "/home/media/Audio/Music Videos/Kylie Minogue - Come Into My World.mpg" -sameq -ab 32k -ar 22050 -ac 2 -s 320x240 -f flv -y ../tmp/file9ltYxj.flv
Okay, so there's no accounting for taste - look i'm heavy metal but this vid is a work of genius! :-) But it's not ideal, for one thing it takes up space creating all these tmp files and for another calling ffmpeg to perform the conversion causes the page load to hang while it completes the task. Which is okay for a five minute music video, but i doubt firefox will wait for a two hour movie to convert using this method.
So i want to stream them instead using ffstream. I'm executing this line (as root):
ffserver -d -f /etc/ffserver.conf &
and the cgi executes this:
ffmpeg -i "/home/media/Audio/Music Videos/Kylie Minogue - Come Into My World.mpg" -sameq -ab 32k -ar 22050 -ac 2 -s 320x240 -f flv -y http://localhost:8090/feed1.flv
and this is where i'm running into trouble. The page loads, the flash embeds but fails to show anything. ffserver reports:
Mon Apr 15 09:29:38 2013 New connection: GET /feed1.flv
Mon Apr 15 09:29:38 2013 192.168.0.33 - - [GET] "/feed1.flv HTTP/1.1" 404 149
I'm getting 404's, but before I was getting 200's before, not sure why that's changed. But whether 404 or 200, the page is the same; Loaded, but no video stream.
I could really do with somebody to ask me further questions (not sure what to add) and hopefully get me up and running with this, because i've not much hair left and my wife wants me to paint the dining room.
Can anyone please advise where I might be going wrong?

Texas Pay-Day Lenders Dodge Caps as Bills Put Industry on Watch
Texas lawmakers rejected limits on rates lenders can charge for loans tied to car titles and paychecks, while telling companies that they may face tougher rules if they abuse consumers in the second-most populous state.
Two bills, headed to Governor Rick Perry for enactment, require greater disclosure of terms and give the state the authority to collect consumer complaints. The measures don't limit fees or add enforcement powers, said Leslie Pettijohn, head of the Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner in Austin.
Caps on loans at 35 percent of a family's income and limits on how many times a loan tied to a vehicle or paycheck can be refinanced failed to win support. The lenders spent more than $8 million on lobbying, according to an advocacy group. Legislative leaders warned the industry to rein in business practices barred by states including Maryland and North Carolina.
"If it's the industry's intent going forward to hide behind an army of lobbyists rather than sitting down and working in good faith to resolve these issues, then those of us who understand that this industry has a place in the market may not be so understanding next time," Senator John Carona, a Dallas Republican who heads the business and industry committee, said at a May 18 hearing. "We're going to look very carefully at this industry over the next two years."
Carona, who voted for the new rules, said industry lobbying influenced many lawmakers, making passage of lending limits unworkable, particularly in the House of Representatives.
Industry Concerns
Lenders including Cash America International Inc. and Ezcorp Inc. warned that tougher laws would lead to job cuts, said Rob Norcross, a spokesman for trade group Consumer Service Alliance of Texas. He added that some said tighter limits may push them to leave the state.
Many legislators consider rules to cap interest rates and limit loans to be excessive regulation, Representative Gary Elkins, a Houston Republican who owns 12 pay-day lending stores, said in an interview.
Pay-day lenders spent $8.4 million on lobbyists from January 2009 to March 11 and donated $1.37 million to state lawmakers' campaigns, according to a March report from Texans for Public Justice. The Austin-based nonprofit monitors lobbying activity and political finance and advocates for consumers.
Ezcorp, an Austin-based pawn-shop operator, opposed legislation that "would negatively impact the financial model of the business and make it harder for us to innovate," Chief Executive Officer Paul Rothamel said on an April 21 conference call with analysts and investors. Rothamel also didn't immediately respond to a telephone call seeking comment.
Put to Rest
"Cash America would like to see an acceptable bill passed in Texas this year, which would hopefully allow the Legislature and the industry to put this issue to rest," Daniel Feehan, chief executive officer of the Fort Worth-based company, said on an April 21 conference call with securities analysts and investors. He didn't immediately respond to a telephone call to his office seeking further comment.
Supporters of tighter rules, including consumer and religious groups, spent less than lenders to promote their views, said Stephen Reeves, a Christian Life Commission lobbyist. The group is affiliated with the Texas Baptist church.
"The industry played total hardball by saying the bill would cost Texas jobs and no one dared call their bluff," said Craig McDonald, director of the Public Justice group.
About 3,600 retail stores in the state offer short-term loans, some that carry effective annual interest rates of more than 300 percent, Senator Wendy Davis, a Fort Worth Democrat, said May 23.
"This is the smallest little advancement," said Davis, who voted "present" instead of for or against both bills. "It's not what any of us would have hoped for," she said.

Late 18th century: probably from the ballad Chevy Chase, celebrating a skirmish (probably the battle of Otterburn, 1388) on the Scottish border. Originally a noun denoting a hunting cry, the term later meant 'a pursuit', hence the verb 'to chase, worry' (mid 19th century).
This is probably from the ballad Chevy Chase, celebrating a skirmish (probably the battle of Otterburn in 1388) on the Scottish border. Chevy and chivy are early spellings. It was originally used as a word for a hunting cry; later to mean 'a pursuit', and so developed the sense 'to chase, worry' in the mid 19th century.
