A growing tradition has seen lovers flock from all over world
to the French capital to adorn its already groaning bridges
with locks labelled with messages of love.
For city authorities, however, the romantic tokens have
brought nothing but heartache, as the sheer weight of metal
tempts thieves who remove them using wire cutters, causing
structural damage as they work.
Even on Valentine's Day, an operation was in full swing to
replace damaged panels adorned with years' worth of the
Die-hard romantics were undeterred by the whirring of saws on
Thursday and continued attaching locks in full view of
toiling officials.
British tourist Dan Murphy even took advantage of the spot to
propose to his girlfriend Lauren Price as they attached a
lock to the famously romantic Pont des Arts pedestrian
"It just shows it's the most romantic city in the world,"
said Price as she showed off her new engagement ring.
For those who couldn't make it to the bridge or who wanted to
show their affection without giving officials any trouble,
Paris allowed lovers to display Valentine messages on
electronic boards around the city.

Hi all,
Say you have a WP blog that's old, but with content you still want to leave online, but will never access again, like from a school project. We're doing more and more with WP blogs at my school, and I've got a large collection of dormant ones. Every time a new release comes out, I have a whole bunch to upgrade, even some that have not been used for many months.
Is there a way to securely 'deactivate' the blog so that it will still be 'browsable' by visitors (no logins) but won't require application of future upgrades?
The ideal solution would be something easily reversible.

As part of an investigation in subacute bacterial endocarditis the records of 364 patients admitted to Mount Sinai Hospital in the past fourteen years (to October 1933) have been analyzed, with particular attention to the antecedent history and the manner of onset. Several interesting facts were noted which are reported here.
The outstanding feature of the cases studied is the frequency with which the onset of subacute bacterial endocarditis is associated with an immediately preceding acute infection of the upper respiratory tract, tonsillitis or grip. This relationship has been noted by others. Libman,1 in an article on the prognosis in subacute bacterial endocarditis, pointed out that the onset can occur with an attack of acute tonsillitis. He also wrote that "there is evidence which indicates that repetition of infection (in cases with recurrent attacks) may be due to an invasion from focal infections." In a subsequent article2 he

Environmental Conservation
Fourteenth Recycling Event Held (USA)
Epson Portland Inc. (EPI) sets aside every April as a month to think about energy conservation and the global environment. During this month, employees hold a recycling event. The event took place for the 14th time in 2015, with nearby businesses helping out. Participants collected unneeded electronic devices, batteries, used paper, and other items. Visitors also received one of 28 poplar or pine tree seedlings to plant at home. The seedlings were grown from seeds of trees on the EPI premises.
Along with this, EPI held an event in partnership with the local government to collect harmful household waste. Area citizens brought in old paint, antifreeze, and other materials. The collected waste was taken from EPI to a waste processing plant, where it was all appropriately dismantled and/or recycled.
Support for Tree Planting by Senior High School Students (Philippines)
Epson Precision (Philippines), Inc. (EPPI) began offering a tree planting program for area senior high school students in 2010. The program teaches students the importance of protecting the environment by letting them plant trees. In October 2014, a crew planted trees on Mt. Malipunyo in the province of Batangas in the northern Philippines, where EPPI is located. In total, 114 students took part, planting about 1,700 trees.
>Planting Trees to Protect Water Resources (China)
In April 2014, Epson Engineering (Shenzhen) Ltd. (ESL) volunteers planted trees along the banks of Xili Dam, a water resource protection area in Shenzhen, China. Some 50 employees and members of their families spent two hours planting more than 100 sweet osmanthus saplings to prevent sand and soil from washing into the dam and protect this precious source of water.
Donations for Cartridges (Worldwide)
Epson runs various programs throughout the world in which donations are given to environmental and charitable organizations based on the volume of ink and toner cartridges that are returned.

An Analysis of Occupational Choice in Pakistan: A Multinomial Approach
Occupational choice plays an important role in determining earnings and success in the labour market. In the social structure of Pakistan, an occupation reflects the socio-economic status of the individual. In this backdrop, the paper looks at the occupational structure and analyses how different characteristics help individuals to access jobs of their choice. The main issue discussed in the paper is how men and women have a different occupation distribution. Estimates are based on a multinomial log model of occupation choices for men and women, using the Pakistan Integrated Household Survey (PIHS) 2001-02 data. The empirical results show that individuals with high educational achievements choose high-ranking jobs. It is also noted that gender has a role in the labour market and males are sorted out in high-paying occupation. Occupational choice is influenced more by the human capital variables than by the individual characteristics. Among human capital variables, education has the strongest impact in the selection of an occupation of choice.

The rain in Maine stay plainly in the …
I am technically on vacation for two weeks. That probably means I'll only be blogging about half as much.
Other Climate Progress news: My brother who lives in Minneapolis has a press pass the GOP convention. He is very good at interviewing, and we're planning to have him do a bunch of podcast interviews of the delegates on energy and climate issues.
If you have any suggested questions, I'd love to hear them.
7 Responses to The rain in Maine stay plainly in the …
McBush Real Deal? Did you want Big Oil with that?
Just start by asking them if they accept the scientific statements on AGW from the IPCC, AAAS, NAS, etc., etc., etc., and if not, why they think the world scientific community is so completely wrong.
Good question, maybe raise the bar a bit and ask for a logical, defensible, not-already-debunked reason to refute the science.
I'd be interested in hearing what their response is to Dr. James Hansen's statement about needing to go for no coal.
Most delegates can't or don't want to squarely face the reality of the 'Tipping Points' so ask if they think it is smart to wait until our man made climate catastrophe is fully involved before serious action is taken. Also ask if drilling the offshore protected areas will really change the net energy picture as now the population bomb will guarantee the gain will not amount to more then an excuse to postpone a focus on the reality of peak oil. Renewable energy must be the prime focus.
I'd ask them about support or lack thereof for Federal funding for modest innovation prizes like NASA's Centennial Challenges or the X PRIZE Foundation's prizes. These include NASA's power beaming and general aviation "Green Prize". From C|net News:
"NASA plans to retool its contest next year to focus primarily on fuel-efficient aviation, according to Andy Petro, head of NASA's Centennial Challenges, a series of government-sponsored competitions that support space exploration and aviation technologies in private industry."
However, the NASA prizes are small, and have had no funding at all for 3 years, in part because of Senate language.
The private X PRIZE Foundation has the 100 mpg Automotive X PRIZE, and is considering (if it can raise the money, probably) a Biofuels prize, an Aviation Fuels prize, and a Village Utility prize, among others.
I'd also ask about a flex-fuel vehicle mandate, including methanol support. From a conservative site:
These ideas all have aspects that should appeal to conservatives, so if you can't get enthusiasm on these, it will be tough to make progress on the more difficult energy and climate measures.
I would ask about their position or support for renewable energy. Questions about green jobs in Minnesota or their home states.
Then dig into whether and how they would support programs that make deployment a top priority.
Things like Wind and Solar ITC and PTC. If not, how can they expect to grow the market for renewables?
We are having a local forum for politicians next month. I'd be interested in hearing from Dave what worked.

!!The book:
* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The book was originally written for Helu, the ruler of the Kingdom of Wu. About fifty or so years after Sun Tzu's death, Wu was completely destroyed and absorbed by the Kingdom of Yue.
** Additional points when you consider that Helu's son and successor Fu Chai did many things that Sun Tzu (and ''The Art Of War'') would have frowned upon.
* HypeBacklash:
** Frequently advertised as ''the'' book about war, some point out that most of it is common sense. This may be ValuesDissonance as common sense may not have been as common back then.
* MagnificentBastard: This is a goal to which all generals should aspire. As the book notes:
-->"To win a hundred battles is not of the supreme excellence. To subdue one's enemy without fighting is the acme of skill."
* OlderThanTheyThink: ''The Art of War'' is frequently thought of as a fairly modern book. It is not -- general Sun lived in the VI century BC and was a contemporary of Darius I of Persia and Confucius.
* ValuesDissonance: Today, some of the tactics he advocates would be considered ''[[TheLawsAndCustomsOfWar war crimes]]'' at worst and ''state-funded terrorism'' at best. See also TryingToCatchMeFightingDirty. Examples include [[ISurrenderSuckers pretending to set up truce talks to lure enemies into a trap]] and attacking the enemy without declaring war.
** But then again, the whole point of the book is to be a CombatPragmatist and more importantly, [[TheStrategist a successful strategist]]. Morals have nothing to do with it. [[PragmatismTropes Drop what is unefficient : keep what is efficient.]]
** Morals, no, but ethics still have a place in warfare. The central assumption behind pretty much the entire work is that the reader will remain in a superior position because of his adherence to these tenets. In real life, almost no one can maintain military and political dominance one hundred percent of the time, and doing things like staging false peace talks and attacking the enemy without declaring war would mean that your enemies would settle for nothing less than your annihilation. What qualifies as "pragmatic" has changed over the years.
!!The movies:
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome:
** Shaw escaping the Triad assassins who kidnapped and framed him.
** Shaw taking out the assassin who killed [[spoiler: Jenna]] and the brief LockAndLoadMontage.
** "I was thinking--neighborhood rules." "Sounds good to me." Cue GunKata battle with suppressed pistols.
** Shaw tricking the BigBad [[spoiler: Eleanor Hooks]] into getting in a limo with a Triad assassin, who kills her for betraying the Triads.
* DesignatedHero: Neil Shaw, to more and more of an extent as the series goes on. In the first film he's a competent enough agent, though kind of a {{Jerkass}}. In the second film he makes numerous basic errors of logic and judgement, and at the end he [[spoiler:casually murders his love interest]] just in the name of getting the villain to frame himself. The third film takes it UpToEleven, as he unknowingly takes the bad guy [[spoiler:or rather bad girl]] into his confidence, then ends up [[MoralEventHorizon killing at least a dozen or so South Korean intelligence agents]], before unwittingly facilitating the assassination of South Korea's U.N. representative and nearly getting the Secretary-General of the U.N. herself killed. After all that you'd think the Secretary-General would be only too happy to hand Shaw over to the South Korean authorities and let them hang him out to dry, but she instead ends the film by telling Shaw that he's the only person the U.N. can trust with their lives.
* FunnyMoments:
** Shaw lying that he's Eddie Murphy and doing a horrible impression of Axel Foley's laugh.
** Capella yelling to be freed from a revolving door (after being used to trick Bly), after Bly's dramatic death.
* Tearjerker: The deaths of [[spoiler: Jenna and Julia's friend and her mother.]]

"Aberdeen Proving Ground" Aberdeen by Tom_Fields
Aberdeen Travel Guide: 7 reviews and 21 photos
This is where the US Army tests its latest weapons and equipment. Of course, it's off-limits to the public, except for the US Amry Ordnance Museum. To get there requires a special day pass, unless you have a US government ID. It's worth it to any student of military history.
This is one of the largest, most impressive military museums that I've ever seen. And if you've looked at my other tips, you know that's really saying a lot. This one has more tanks, artillery pieces, machineguns, small arms, and mortars than any other museum that I know of.
Unfortunately, many suffer from neglect due to lack of funding. The rust is plainly visible. But the sheer size and variety of weapons here is truly amazing.
- Pros:One of the world's best military museums
- Cons:You need a pass to get to it
- In a nutshell:If you like weapons, then see it

Curiosity Update, sols 534-540: Over Dingo Gap, onto softer sand
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2014/02/13 12:55 CST | 5 comments

Wyly Brothers Face SEC Fraud Charges
(Please see Corrections and Amplifications below.)
Billionaire brothers Sam Wyly and Charles Wyly hid $550 million in trading profits by using an "elaborate sham system" of offshore entities, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Thursday.
The civil suit, following a six-year probe, targets a pair of entrepreneurs in their mid-70s who amassed a fortune over more than four decades through ventures including Michaels arts and crafts stores.
The SEC said the Wylys used sham trusts and subsidiaries in the Isle of Man and the Cayman Islands to avoid disclosure of their stakes and sales of stock in public companies where they were directors. In one instance, the brothers traded on insider information about an upcoming sale of a company to make a $31 million profit, the SEC alleged.
"The cloak of secrecy has been lifted from the complex web of foreign structures used by the Wylys to evade the securities laws," said Lorin L. Reisner, deputy director of the SEC's enforcement division.
The Wylys' lawyer, William A. Brewer III, said the brothers plan a vigorous defense and expect to be vindicated. "After six years of investigations, the SEC has chosen to make claims against the Wyly brothers—claims that, in our view, are without merit," said Mr. Brewer. He added that the Wylys relied on the advice of accountants and lawyers.
The Wylys were early pioneers in computer software and founded the Maverick hedge fund. They started the trusts largely with options they obtained through their ownership of Michaels, a craft-store chain they bought in 1983 and built into a national presence. Michaels is now owned by several private-equity firms.
The SEC said the alleged scheme began 13 years ago and involved the brothers' Dallas lawyer, Michael C. French, and stockbroker Louis J. Schaufele III. Messrs. French and Schaufele were also charged with fraud. A lawyer for Mr. French couldn't be reached for comment, and a lawyer for Mr. Schaufele declined to comment.
In a 78-page complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, the SEC said the brothers created 17 offshore trusts to conceal their ownership and trading. Some of the trusts were named after towns in Louisiana where they were born and attended high school, it said.
The improper trading involved stock of Michaels, a unit of Michaels Holdings LLC; Sterling Software Inc., which was later sold to Computer Associates; Sterling Commerce, Inc., which was later sold to SBC Communications, and Scottish Re Group Ltd., according to the SEC. Representatives of Michaels and Computer Associates declined to comment, and representatives of the other companies couldn't immediately be reached.
From the Archives
Both Sam Wyly, 75, and his brother Charles, 76, served on the four companies' boards in various capacities. Sam Wyly had a previous run-in with the SEC in 1979, when he was faced allegations in connection with a bond deal. He settled without admitting or denying wrongdoing.
The SEC alleged the Wylys traded 14 million shares via the offshore vehicles in violation of rules that require corporate insiders owning 5% or more of a company to disclose their holdings and trades. Investors often monitor insider sales to gauge whether executives have a bullish or bearish take on the company. The SEC said the Wyly's made "sporadic" but incomplete filings about their holdings in the companies.
In one 1996 filing, the Wylys disclosed they owned 5.6% of Sterling Software common stock, but their actual stake would have been 22% if they included their holdings in offshore accounts, the SEC alleges.
In the past, the Wylys have maintained they didn't own or control the offshore entities, suggesting that the holdings needn't be counted as part of their ownership stake. The SEC alleges the brothers never relinquished control and dictated trading and voting instructions to intermediaries .
The SEC alleges the Wylys' created multiple trusts and then split their holdings among them to avoid making required SEC filings. Messrs. French and Schaufele aided the Wylys in the alleged scheme by telling lawyers for the companies and brokerage-firm superiors that the trusts were independent, the SEC said.
The brothers used their offshore entities to buy expensive jewelry and artwork that was kept in the possession of Wyly family members, according to the SEC. They also used the offshore funds to buy four properties in Aspen, Colo., and a 100-acre horse farm outside Dallas, as well as to contribute to charity, it said.
In addition, the SEC says, the Wyly fortunes funded one of the longest-running and most successful hedge funds in the industry, Maverick Capital. The Wylys used assets in the offshore entities to invest in hedge funds, according to the SEC complaint. They directed trustees to channel about $300 million to entities including the Maverick and Ranger Capital funds, both started by Sam Wyly, the SEC said.
Maverick Capital, founded in 1990, was opened to outside investors in 1993 and has grown to manage $11 billion in assets, according to SEC filings. Sam Wyly started Ranger in 2001 after leaving Maverick, according to a biography on the Wylys' website.
One Wyly family member remains formally affiliated with Maverick: Sam Wyly's son Evan Wyly is a general partner of the firm, according to a recent SEC filing. The SEC hasn't charged Evan Wyly with any wrongdoing. Evan Wyly negotiated a 1999 transaction for his father involving improper use of inside information, while the younger Mr. Wyly was on the board of the issuer, Sterling Software, the SEC said. Messages left Thursday evening at Maverick and Ranger offices in Dallas and New York weren't returned. Evan Wyly, reached in Dallas, declined to comment.
The SEC is seeking return of the allegedly ill-gotten gains and penalties.
The SEC said it learned of the alleged scheme in 2004 when Bank of America Corp. BAC 0.34 % , in seeking to comply with "know your customer" laws, met resistance with the offshore trusts. The bank closed the accounts after the account trustees refused to disclose the owners.
Despite the age of the charges, the SEC said it acted in a timely manner and has reached several agreements with the defendants to extend the statute of limitations.
Corrections and Amplifications
Evan Wyly, son of Sam Wyly, is general partner of an entity that owns a minority stake in the management company of Dallas hedge-fund firm Maverick Capital. This article incorrectly says Evan Wyly is a general partner of Maverick Capital.

"Dixon stakes his claim as the next great Pop Piano Man. More soulful than Ben Folds, Dixon will remind you of Elton when he still had hair and was making albums like Tumbleweed Connection and Madman Across the Water. That's high praise, and this is one of my favorite records of the year. "
"Gabe Dixon isn't like a classic pop songwriter, he is a classic pop songwriter. Dixon shows why he deserves to join the ranks of Jackson Browne and early Elton John in the pop pantheon."
"Early Elton left us sometime after 1971, but the best parts of him have been resurrected on a self-titled album by The Gabe Dixon Band. His music isn't just reminiscent of those old records - it has the potential to be just as great. "
"Filled with universally appealing, astute lyrics ("Further The Sky") and robust grooves ("Find My Way"). This timeless collection is a natural fit for fans who love vintage Jackson Browne and Elton John."
"A disc that's sonically sublime and pulsing with soul, whimsy and wit."
"Full of strong melodies and floor-shaking piano grooves, the album is a testament to the power of simplicity. "
"A world-class pianist, [Dixon] is quickly put in a league with Elton John, Bruce Hornsby, Ben Folds. Which is all well and good, but Dixon is different and very much his own man. He has an unerring ear for melodies that sound familiar, but are completely original."

this smells so good i use it all the time and i'm picky with my sents
This product smells ok. Just average, not too strong or sweet. But it wears FAST. An hour later and the smell is almost gone. Upgrade for a longer lasting scent.
Smells awesome, can't get enough of this. I plan on buying more when I run out! This is a must have, I don't leave the house without it!
Like everyone who buys this product, I am a huge fan of Beyonce. Initially I thought that putting her name on the bottle was some very effective marketing ploy as I never wear perfume. When I received the product, I had no idea why I bought it and regretted at first, but I love it. The smell is very light, not extremely heavy like most perfumes. It has a hint of seduction in addition to youthful femininity. The packaging is fantastic as well. The bottle shape is very chic and sophisticated. Great job, Beyonce!

Excellent 4.2 /5 from 42 reviews
we arrived early, around noon and we were given a room right off. I am very fussy about cleanliness and found our room and the lunch room exceptionally clean. The bed and a good variety of pillows were very comfortable. The breakfast had a great variety to offer and the pancakes in the late evening were great, all in all I could not complain about anything. Everything from the front staff to hotel staff greeted you with a smile and were courteous.The hotel was convienently close to shopping ,gas and Tim Hortons. Quiet through the night !!
All services - excellent, All staff were friendly, helpful & courteous.
Good hotel for business travel, free wife and free breakfast makes it very convenient
Broken Air Conditioner. Staff were nice and moved me to a different room down the hall. Internet was exceptionally quick!
Hotel staff were excellent. Room was great, no concerns. Continental breakfast was disappointing.

text: Emmis Communications Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Another name in the broadcasting and cable TV complex that insiders are warming up to here is Emmis Communications ( EMMS), which owns and operates radio and magazine entities in large and medium sized markets throughout the U.S. It also owns and operates national radio networks in Slovakia and Bulgaria. Insiders are buying this stock into some monster strength here, since shares are up over 200% so far in 2012. Emmis Communications has a market cap of $77.6 million and an enterprise value of $323.94 million. This stock trades at a cheap valuation, with a trailing price-to-earnings of 3.48. This is not a cash-rich company, since the total cash position on its balance sheet is $10.49 million and its total debt is $256.83 million. >>10 Top-Rated Tech Stocks That Pay Big Dividends The CEO and beneficial owner just bought 116,866 shares, or about $229,900 worth of stock, at $1.95 to $1.98 per share. Another beneficial owner also just bought 126,743 shares, or about $249,000 worth of stock, at $1.96 per share. From a technical perspective, EMMS is currently trading above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock has been uptrending strong for the past six months, with shares soaring from a low of 67 cents per share to a recent high of $2.14 a share. During that uptrend, shares of EMMS have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move is now pushing EMMS within range of near-term breakout trade. If you're in the bull camp on EMMS, then I would look for long-biased trades once this stock triggers a major breakout trade above some overhead resistance levels at $2.14 to $2.18 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that breakout that registers near or above its three-month average volume of 370,198 shares. If we get that action soon, then EMMS will have a great chance of re-testing and possibly taking out its 2010 high of $2.45 a share. One could look to buy EMMS off weakness since it's in such a strong uptrend. Any pullback towards $1.85 to $1.70 a share could be seen as a solid buying opportunity, and then I would simply use a stop just below its 50-day moving average of $1.65 a share. If that pullback doesn't come, then look to load EMMS off strength once it starts to clear those breakout levels with high volume. Prev 2 of 6 Next

ODT /directory
Their previous performance has been a festering sore - that
disjointed, erratic effort in their last test against
Australia three weeks ago has brewed discontent and
frustration within the camp.
It's obvious the All Blacks are simmering with self-loathing
at the way they played against the Wallabies on October 20.
They haven't forgiven their casual disregard for ball
retention and other basic tenets of the game, and won't
forget it until they have made amends with a performance of
which they can be proud.
The intention, obviously, is to deliver that performance in
Edinburgh and the analysis of the 18-18 draw in Brisbane has
formed the basis of most of this week's planning and
preparation. The problems have been identified and solutions
are now being applied and the All Blacks took what they hope
is another step towards restoration of normal service with
their first outdoor, full-blooded training in the Scottish
The hour-plus session in icy rain was intense and dynamic and
reflective of the fact that, regardless of what history and
world rankings say about the likely outcome on Monday, the
All Blacks know they must be clinical and accurate if they
are to deliver the performance they are after.
"We're coming off a pretty poor performance," said assistant
coach Ian Foster. "We've spent a few days searching for
answers why we had a bit of a hiccup at Brisbane.
"Our focus at this stage of the week has been on ourselves,
and we believe we have a couple of steps to climb to get to
the levels that we want.
"We've got to make sure we get the ingredients right and
don't peak too early."
The All Blacks will focus more on themselves than the
opposition this week, which might confirm in some minds that
they don't see the Scots as a serious threat. That's not all,
This year's theme has largely been about self-improvement and
taking individual and collective performance to a higher
level. No one in the All Blacks' camp doubts Scotland are
capable of an upset. In 2010 the All Blacks trounced the
Scots 49-3 only for the Celts to bounce back seven days later
with victory against South Africa.
Carelessness and complacency cost tests, and the All Blacks
are in no danger of being either - they simply believe that
if they have clarity about how they want to play on Monday
and reach their own performance expectations, the result will
take care of itself.
"The real fear is us not playing to the level we want,"
Foster said. "We don't want to lose, but we're also like any
other international team in that we want to play to a high
level and perform great every week.
"We were pretty disappointed by our last performance and we
see the first two games of this tour are really a chance for
us to get two great performances on the park."

Charlotte agencies looking for female officers
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — If you're a woman thinking about a career as a police officer, firefighter or medic, Yumika Smith would like to meet you Saturday.
"You're a counselor, a doctor, a minister," Smith said of her work. "If you love being a public servant, you will love this job."
The career fair, for women only, will encourage visitors to pursue several emergency-response careers including crime-scene investigator and 911 dispatcher.
Keith Richardson, a city of Charlotte spokesman, said the departments aren't recruiting women to meet any sort of quota.
"Our forces want to reflect their communities," Richardson said.
Only 10 percent of Charlotte-Mecklenburg firefighters, for example, are female. The numbers are only slightly higher for police and medics.
Richardson said Saturday's fair is the first time the departments have worked together to recruit women. The fair will include several participatory demonstrations, and attendees are encouraged to wear their sweatpants and sneakers.
Smith graduated from the police academy in March 2007, and now works for CMPD's metro division. She served as a military police officer with the U.S. Army at Fort Bragg, Afghanistan and Iraq, and said becoming a police officer was a natural career choice for her.
"They might think it's too hard, it's too dangerous," Smith said. "And it is a challenging job. But we're all capable of doing it, male or female."

From the Inside Flap
Some fifty thousand years ago Homo sapiens, the newest branch of a long and varied tree of evolved apes, suddenly developed a remarkable range of new talents. These people-whose primitive stone culture had previously been little different from that of their ancestors-began painting. They invented music and the instruments to play it. They fashioned jewelry and clothing, created fishing poles and tackle as well as bows and arrows, constructed the oldest substantial houses, and buried their dead with ritual and ceremony. This creative explosion, occurring over such a remarkably short period, has been called the "big bang" of human culture.
It was the fourth in a series of punctuated events that have marked the history of human evolution. The first occurred between seven and five million years ago when a group of African apes, in response to shrinking forests and expanding open savannas, began to walk upright. These are the bipedal apes of which Lucy and her kin are the most famous. The next occurred about two and a half million years ago, again during a time of global climatic change resulting in major environmental disruption, when the first stone-tool makers emerged. The third occurred about 1.8 million years ago when humans developed modern body proportions and colonized largely treeless environments for the first time.
So what accelerated our cultural development? What made us who we are?
Now, for the first time, preeminent anthropologist Richard Klein tackles this mystery, one of the great enigmas of our evolution. With Blake Edgar, he works his way forward through time as Homo developed, looking for clues, discarding false leads, and examining why other species of man such as the Neanderthals failed to develop a similar culture-and failed to survive. He reexamines the archeological evidence, including the latest findings, and considers new discoveries in the study of human genetics. This journey leads him to a bold new theory involving the brain that could solve the mystery of our origins and that points the way for future studies.

Then Joe goes to a restaurant and happens upon an OC brunch. Odds are he will actually get all the way to sitting down and ordering his food before he notices anyone is armed. When he does, he will begin to make mental notes of the experience (whether he realizes it or not). He won't get freaked out because the entire restaurant--OCers, other customers, the staff--appear to be casually going about their business. Joe's a herd animal. The rest of the herd isn't spooked, there's no tension in the air, so he's not going to feel threatened.
Now, the NEXT time the subject of guns comes up, he has a practical reference for gun owners. He's seen them up close and personal in real life and his experience was that it's no big deal. This conflicts with rabid, anti-gun propaganda and he's less likely to buy into that crap hook-line-and-sinker.
^That's the primary positive of having an OC event. Now multiply "Joe" times the number of other customers in that restaurant, times the number of OC groups, times the number of OC events for each group and you can see that the potential for widespread positive impact increases dramatically.
We aren't going to win the hearts and minds of panicky sheep by using a catchy slogan or a clever t-shirt/bumper sticker. We certainly aren't going to do it with OWS-style protests, either. The ONLY way that any of them will change their mind is to repeatedly see gun owners (and they must be visually identifiable as gun owners; hence OC) from ALL walks of life (not just the "typical" gun owner portrayed in the media) behaving in a perfectly calm, polite, civilized manner.

Bowers & Wilkins launches Wireless Music Systems range with A5 and A7 speakers
Top audio kit firm Bowers & Wilkins has created a new product category to sit with its high-end speakers, headphones and other solutions. The Wireless Music Systems range will be launched with the introduction of two new Apple AirPlay-enabled products.
The Bowers & Wilkins A5 and A7 Wireless Music Systems both fit with Apple's idea of ditching the dock connector entirely. Those worrying about the price of the Lightning adapter - needed to ensure the iPhone 5, 5th gen iPod touch and other new Apple devices are compatible with conventional docks - can opt for the quality wireless audio hook-up offered by the new speaker systems instead.
Coming with a 6-inch dedicated sub-woofer, the B&W A7 is the larger of the two systems, while the A5 is the more versatile and portable (of sorts). The A7 is probably best suited for a lounge, and the A5 the kitchen or bedroom. Both, however, are more than capable of filling reasonably sized rooms with more than enough volume.
They can each play music streamed wirelessly from an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or a computer sporting iTunes, and B&W supplies an easy set-up application for the devices.
The Bowers & Wilkins A7 will cost £699.99 on launch, the A5 £399.99. They will both be available from October, and sit comfortably alongside the company's docking solution, the Zeppelin Air, which also includes AirPlay.
