Popping in to make a quick announcement that I am starting the planning stages to have FDTN back for weekly updates in 2012. Will share more as it becomes more concrete. For now, WE REJOICE!
Update on Things
One of my favorite fans, Dystop, commented about FDTN and this is what he said:
Hey Michael, I know you're not currently updating the comic but you should still spread the word about book 1 and the webcomic. Post on some messageboards/forums and create a facebook-fangroup or something. I try to mention it on various sites and such, ofcourse.
Maybe you could post another secret document or something to let people know that FDTN is still very much an ongoing project?
He brings up a good point in that I have been silent awhile. But I thought I would address some things. I have actually been spreading the word about FDTN in a few places and we do have Facebook link on the right —–>>
The disheartening thing is that FDTN just has not had much of any real success as a book or webcomic. It's a project that I have worked on for four years and it's fan base is the same size today as it was years ago. Just is what it is. I have promoted it and done what I could to get the word out, but it's not yielded too much in the results. That may sound unfair all together, but it is the truth and something I have had to spend a lot of time pondering on. I often tell myself that if FDTN was a TV show it would have been canceled the first season. But I make FDTN for myself primarily so I kept working on it. And I plan to continue work on, but I am trying to work on a project I hope will yield stronger results in helping to get a book published.
Time has become more a luxury than a normalcy lately with work and family and there's just not enough time to juggle the two projects evenly. I want to start updating FDTN real soon, but I have to figure out how I am going to do that and when. Believe me when I say that the second book has me really excited. But so does Kevin and the Light of Destiny and that's taken the majority of my focus as I am pursuing representation for that book and trying to start a charity around it and getting two issues done in time for my first comic convention next year.
So, I hope that answers some things. I wish I had all of the free time in the world to do this book, but I don't. I dunno, maybe we just go to one update a month or something… But that feels a bit of a waste when you know how big all of this is going to be.
This is me poking my head in and saying, I'm thinking about all of this and still wanting to get out there with the project. We'll see when I can though.
Book 1 Available Now
Well, it's finally available! From Death Til Now book 1 is available for purchase through Indy Planet. I got my final proof copy in and it looked great so I feel good about offering it up to you all.
Now you may be asking, "why buy a book I can read, or have read online?" To you I say: Great question! Here's why! I've loaded the thing with special content. Not only do you get all 152 pages of the first book, but you also get:
2 Brand New Exclusive Government Documents!
6 Pinup Drawings By Some Of My Favorite Artists
A 5 Page Process Diary
A Completely Redrawn and Rendered Opening 4 Pages
An Inside Look At My Very First FDTN Drawings
And A Special Forward By Josh Ulrich
And all of this for only $10+Shipping And Handling! Huzzah I say! But the biggest reason I can think of is much like Grinch's heart on Christmas, the warmth and love I'll feel knowing you purchased this here book, will make my heart grow infinity sizes. And friends you can't put money on making people's hearts grow bigger
I sincerely hope you'll pick one up! And thank you for reading. I hope we get back to updates here really soon!
A Difficult Announcement
Well, I figured I better let the cat out of the bag. A lot has happened in the span of the last two weeks and my life has taken a turn from the busy to the very busy. I recently agreed to take part in some charity events around town, am about to start work on a few new commissions and may even be starting graduate school in the next month. Trying to keep all of the plates spinning has been hard. Between all of that, and making two comics, one of the plates had to fall. FDTN was it.
From Death Til Now has long been a personal project of mine that I've had to fit in with a lot of other things and usually things are tame enough to do it, but this time I think I need to take a break until things even out. I don't know how long that will be. I'm hoping just a month or two, but I have no idea. I do plan to keep writing and penciling the book as much as possible. Which will hopefully help me to get it out without many delays once things tide over.
The print version of the first book should be available online to buy really really soon, like next week soon. I encourage all of you who have read the book over the last three years, if you enjoyed to please pick up a copy. It would mean a lot to me and I've tried to keep it as reasonably priced as possible (at $10).
I want to make it known that this doesn't mean the end of FDTN, just a break. Kevin and the Light of Destiny is continuing on, largely because I have a lot of it written and plotted out, so I can more quickly move through it. And because I have a few things in the publishing world I'm working on with it. Please come by and visit there and I do hope I'll be back soon. I appreciate your understanding. Trust me I don't want to break where we're at right now either! This scene was gonna be the jam Thank you again. All of you are awesome.

Based upon the mathematical concept of a fractal, the Noisebridge "Fractal Working Group" concept entails the following:
- a group can begin with an individual or group of individuals at any time, for any reason.
- a group may spin off subgroups as needed or desired, which may have chartered time limits (or not).
- subgroups can expect no "control" from their "parent" group, but should probably check in from time to time, the idea being to keep the community informally informed of all of the goings-on at Noisebridge.
- a group without a parent is considered to have all of Noisebridge as its "parent".
- groups may change their style of decision-making to whatever the members of the group would like. Full consensus should be considered the "default setting".
- groups should use the lessons learned from operation to make proposals and recommendations to the Noisebridge General Meeting.
Recommendations (not requirements):
- Groups should have meetings and take meeting notes, much like the Noisebridge General Meeting.

If everything goes his way, independent writer Stacy Fry will have the budget to develop his first scripted television series about Serbian born inventor Nikola Tesla. The project, Tesla – Man of Light, is meant to be an authentic period drama exploring Tesla's lifelong battle with Thomas Edison, and the establishment of alternating current as the electrical standard for the modern world. Much of Tesla's work was not supported at the time, and it is believed Tesla developed a free energy system of wireless technology that was blackballed by influential Wall Street Banker, JP Morgan.
With funding as the first major obstacle to any series development, the independent film and television communities have increasingly turned to crowd funding sites like Kickstarter.com. In line with Kickstarter.com guidelines, Maya Media has a set number of days to raise a base level funding goal, or the project receives nothing. Campaign starts August 29, 2014. If Maya Media's budget of $90,000 is not raised by end of day September 28th, all pledges are cancelled.
The campaign offers stretch goals up to four million dollars, with a proposed graphic novel, mobile adventure game and interactive PC game to help prove the concept and expand the market in anticipation of a series launch.
When asked why Kickstarter is appealing, Fuchs notes, "There's obviously a great capacity now for funding through these types of grass roots activities—and I'm very confident that once we do get started there will be lots of people who will want to be a part of this."
Stacy Fry approached Fuchs over the course of two years. "Meeting Fred for the first time two years ago, realizing we're both fascinated by Tesla, and then seeing the success of many other projects on Kickstarter eventually gave me the courage to approach Fred about doing a crowd funding campaign for a Nikola Tesla television series."
Fuchs was President of American Zoetrope for twelve years, producing Godfather III, Bram Stokers Dracula, and The Virgin Suicides. Fuchs later commissioned The Tudors for CBC Television, and is now Executive Producer of Transporter: The Series, and Camelot.

AUSTIN - State Comptroller Susan Combs gave an upbeat but cautionary state of the state's economy on Monday, saying the Texas Legislature has $14.3 billion in new money and a total of $82.5 billion to spend in the 2008-09 biennium. Lawmakers are expected to allocate the money in the 140-day session that starts today.
In a normal year, the 93-page report would have been considered good news despite a Combs warning that the state's economy - like the rest of the nation's - is cooling down.
After all, this is the first time anyone can remember that the lawmakers have such a large surplus.
But this is not a normal year.
Texas income
Taxes, including sales, tobacco and oil & gas: $67.67 billion
Fees and licenses, including lottery proceeds: $9.8 billion
Balances and adjustments, including reserves: $4.97 billion
Total: $82.5 billion
As of late Monday, it looked like the nasty fight House Speaker Tom Craddick is waging against his fellow and former political ally Jim Pitts will come to a showdown noon today when the 149 members (one seat is empty) gather at the Capitol.
Craddick, who was first elected speaker in 2003 after the Republicans became the majority party in the state government, is facing an unprecedented challenge from fellow Republican Pitts.
The winner needs at least 75 votes to get elected.
But, first a word about Combs' Biennial Revenue Estimate 2008-09.
"This is a great time in Texas," Combs said at a packed news conference at her headquarters. "Our state's strong economy is producing vigorous revenue growth to serve Texans' needs.
"However, it is my duty as a Comptroller to point out that I do expect a cooling of the economy in the months ahead."
And because of that, Combs added, "I will continue to closely monitor Texas' economic indicators and report to the Legislature if a change in revenue is warranted."
The state's economy is slowing because of a cooling real estate market, plus a decline on oil and gas prices and consumer spending, she said.
And based on her projections "the legislators will take a look at each one of these charts and will say 'let's be cautious, let's be prudent,'" Combs added.
Rep. Warren Chisum, a member of the House Appropriations Committee, which decides how the state government's money is spent, agreed with the Comptroller.
"I am thrilled to death that we have a $15 billion surplus," said the Pampa Republican.
"But we don't come down (to Austin) to spend all the money. We're gonna be very cautious and will spend only on programs that Texans really need."
Dick Lavine, senior fiscal analyst at the Austin-based Center for Public Policy Priorities, a research organization that advocates for needy Texans, said that although he agrees with Combs' report, she didn't emphasize strongly enough that the Texas economy is getting weaker - despite the surplus.
"Revenue is going to be pretty slow," Lavine said. "We need to be very careful."
With a $14.3 billion surplus now is the time to restore full funding to programs that were cut in previous years because of a $10 million deficit, like the Children's Health Insurance Program and school dropout prevention programs, Lavine said.
As for the speaker's race, Chisum remained confident that despite the Pitts challenge, Craddick will prevail. And he considers the House's speaker vote the most important that House members will cast this session.
Since the speaker's fight started getting nasty two weeks ago, Chisum has been one of Craddick's chief advocates, organizing strategy meetings to boost support for the incumbent and to make phone calls to ensure that no pledged member reneges on his or her commitment to Craddick.
"We will select a leader who will guide the House and will set our agenda," Chisum said. "This is the most important vote we will cast."

David Dudzinski and his teammates have their eye on the $2 million winner-take-all prize in this summer's third edition of The Basketball Tournament, also known as TBT.
"It's really crazy because of all the big names interested in playing in it," Dudzinski said. "NBA players can't be in it, but there's a lot of former NBA players as well as guys who played for high-profile colleges and professionally overseas."
Dudzinski, a 6-foot-9 forward, is among the latter. The Kaneland and Holy Cross graduate will begin his third pro season this fall in Romania.

press release
The transaction, which still requires regulatory approval, will probably be completed in the first half of calendar year 2015. BSH will then become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bosch Group. Under the terms of the agreement, BSH will also be allowed to produce and market household appliances under the Siemens brand over the long term.
BSH has been a successful and profitable company for many years. Strategically and technologically, it is a perfect match for the Bosch Group, said Dr. Volkmar Denner, chairman of the board of management of Robert Bosch GmbH. Like the Bosch Group, BSH pursues a long-term, innovation-oriented strategy, is internationally positioned, and committed to good corporate citizenship.
The sale of our BSH stake is part of our drive to continue focusing very intensively on our core business. In a constantly strong partnership over the last few decades, Bosch and Siemens have made BSH a successful leader in the area of household appliances. By uniting continuity with new perspectives, Im convinced that Boschs complete acquisition of BSH will offer BSHs customers, distribution partners and employees a very solid and sustainable structure, said Siemens CFO Ralf P. Thomas. The negotiations with Bosch were always constructive and based on a spirit of mutual trust, he added.
In 1967, Bosch and Siemens combined their activities in the area of household appliances to create the joint venture BSH. Since then, BSH has become Europes largest producer of household appliances and a world-leader in its field, with revenue of about 10.5 billion in 2013 and around 50,000 employees worldwide. The BSH product portfolio comprises a wide range of household appliances including everything from stoves, ovens and extractor hoods to dishwashers, washing machines, clothes dryers and combined refrigerator-freezers to small household devices such as vacuum cleaners, coffee machines, water kettles, clothes irons and hairdryers.
BSH fits in very well with our guiding strategic principle: Invented for Life, explained Denner. With its products and services, the household appliance producer wants to leverage intelligent technologies, high levels of comfort and user-friendliness in order to make the lives of people around the world easier and more enjoyable, while conserving natural resources with the help of highly efficient devices.
Technologically, there are also opportunities for intensified cooperation between Bosch and BSH in the future-oriented field of the Internet of Things and Services. Employing Smart Home concepts, the use of household appliances can be made even more energy-efficient in the future, while user-friendliness will further increase, said Uwe Raschke, the member of the Board of Management of Robert Bosch GmbH who is responsible for the Consumer Goods business sector to which BSH currently belongs. As an equally owned joint venture, BSH is not currently consolidated. Instead, its net income is included in profit figures on a pro rata basis.
With Boschs acquisition of all the shares of BSH, well have a strong owner in the future an owner with a long-term orientation and one who will support us in our further strategic development, emphasized BSH CEO Dr. Karsten Ottenberg. To achieve its goal of doubling revenue by 2025, BSH will increase investments in research and development as well as in its brands. After more than 45 years of good partnership with Siemens, Bosch offers through the acquisition a long-term perspective for BSH employees, said Raschke.

"Central Java" Top 5 Page for this destination Java by kyoub
Java Travel Guide: 67 reviews and 133 photos
We couldn't decide whether we should cancel or go ahead and go.
There were demonstrations and warning for US citizens not to go there at this time.
As you can see, we went and were so glad that we did.
The people could not have been more friendly than they were.
The temples were most interesting.
The scenery was breathtaking.
This young lady was studying tourism.
She was very helpful to me and tried to keep the sun off.
I hope she now has a wonderful job that she enjoys.
Borobudur is a place of pilgrimage rather than of worship, a training center for those who wish to achive Enlightenment.

Lovely Java page with excellent photographs! Java certainly is a great tourist destination. Borobudur and Prambanan Temples certainly look amazing. Thanks for sharing. We hope to visit the island of Java one day. ~ho & pang
I'm glad to hear that everyone was so friendly, despite the demonstrations. That sounds like a very unique Sheraton Hotel where you can see one of the most active volcanoes in the world.

Great job! Beautiful temples and fantastic pool in Sheraton, indeed. This active volcano looks mysterious. Sorry to hear about annoying hawkers.
Yes Kay a place indeed for enlightenment = the temples look interesting = the hotel tips divine
You two are so brave to go with US warning not to...What a gorgeous pool! Love the Hindu temples and the architecture. Would hate the annoying hawkers. Super job, Kay.
I've been curious about Java because of the crew on Holland America--mostly Javanese & they're so wonderful to us. They always have an Indonesian Culture show on the ships. Lovely pictures and good tips. I'd never make it up those steps!!
Nice Java pages Kay! I backpacked around Java, so your hotels look very inviting! Blu

When news broke last week of Cameron Stewartâs upcoming three-issue arc as artist on Grant Morrisonâs bestselling âBatman and Robin,â message board posters were pleased with the choice but many others responded with the same question: âWhereâs Frazer Irving?â
The British artist was heavily rumored as Morrisonâs next collaborator, and the partnership was talked up on the floor at all the major conventions this past summer. CBR News can report the rumors were true, but fans of the â2000 A.D.â artist will just have to wait a few more months.
Irving confirmed for CBR News via email that he is indeed drawing âBatman and Robinâ #10-12, following up preceding arcs by Frank Quitely, current artist Philip Tan and the aforementioned Stewart on the popular DC Comics title.
Irving revealed he hasnât received any scripts just yet so he has even started sketching, but he thought he would likely begin work in November.
âBasically I have no idea what to expect, but I know that Grant will make it good juicy stuff for me to get my art fangs stuck into,â said Irving. âAlso, I think Grant writes to the artistsâ strengths, as he sees them, so with any luck itâll be more monsters and freaky looking stuff as opposed to horses and people in kitchens talking.â
A self-professed âinternational comic book rock star and doodler of the dark and diabolical, as well as the lovely and lickable,â Irving previously worked with Morrison on the four-issue âSeven Soldiers: Klarion the Witch Boyâ miniseries.
Irving, who won numerous awards for his work on âNecronauts,â also has a history within the Batverse. During the âBattle for the Cowlâ event, he illustrated âAzrael: Deathâs Dark Knight,â written by Fabian Nicieza and in 2007, he drew two issues of âRobin,â #157 and #158.
Quitelyâs the first to admit heâs, shall we say, methodical in his approach. With that said, âBatman & Robinâ is scheduled as an ongoing. Can we expect any delays?
When CBR News originally spoke with Morrison about âBatman and Robin,â the Scottish scribe was up front in stating Quitely would âin and outâ as the bookâs artist.
âThis is a monthly comic and Frank wonât be doing all of them. With âAll Star Superman,â we had as long as we wanted to produce the book. This is a proper monthly comic. The other books are going to be taking their cues from it, as well. So there will be other artists involved. It will be a little more like âNew X-Men.â Meaning, Frank will be in and out as the artist.â
âBatman and Robinâ #4 with art by Philip Tan is in stores now.

A deputy on patrol came across the victim bleeding on the ground and the suspect standing beside him around 3 a.m., Chew said. The victim, Leamon McNell, 27, is expected to be treated and released from the hospital.
The suspect, Eric Young, 34, who was intoxicated at the time of the attack, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, Chew said. A witness saw a knife in Young's hand, but the weapon was not found by deputies, Chew said.

text: 000 FXUS63 KGID 211314 AFDGID Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Hastings NE 814 AM CDT THU JUL 21 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 304 AM CDT Thu Jul 21 2016 Quiet conditions remain in place across the CWA early this morning, with upper air and satellite data continuing to show ridging being the dominant feature. High pressure aloft remains centered over the Southern Plains, with the northern extent of the ridging broken down some near the Canadian border, as a shortwave disturbance slides off to the east. At the surface, southerly winds remain in place, with the CWA set up between high pressure over the eastern CONUS and a trough of low pressure draped through the High Plains. An outflow boundary from earlier convection near the CO/KS/NE border has been gradually pushing east, resulting in a few showers just off to our west. This boundary has been weakening as it moves east, and while a few sprinkles not out of the question in the west, will keep PoPs out (for now) and see how the next few hours go. As expected, been pretty warm tonight, with 3 am obs ranging from the mid 70s to near 80. Main story for the short term continues to lie with the hot conditions forecast, with models in good agreement showing little overall change in the upper level pattern. Much the same for the surface pattern, southerly winds are expected to remain in place for most locations through a good chunk of the day , with the trough axis spending much of the day just off to the west of the CWA. Exception would be across western portions closer to that sfc boundary, winds look to be a bit lighter. Overall, made few changes to forecast highs for today, which remain in the upper 90s to just over 100 degrees. Combined with dewpoints in the 60s/low 70s, heat index values of 105 to around 112 are expected during the peak of the afternoon. Late this afternoon, mainly this evening/tonight, that sfc boundary along with convergence along an increasing LLJ may be enough to spark off some thunderstorms. Warm mid level temps/capping remains in place, but can`t rule out at least a few storms. Roughly the northern third of the CWA is included in the SPC Day 1 Marginal Risk, quarter hail/60 MPH winds would be the primary hazards. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 304 AM CDT Thu Jul 21 2016 Patternwise, an upper level ridge of high pressure across the central and southern plains Friday will deamplify across our region late this week, with flow becoming more zonal as a series of shortwave troughs translate across the northern and central CONUS. The more zonal regime will be maintained over the weekend into the first part of next week, then the upper ridge axis will rebuild over the southwest CONUS with flow becoming northwest across the Central Plains by the middle of the workweek. Convection which develops later tonight may linger into the daytime on Friday, with additional development possible along surface boundary across south central Nebraska. Not looking for widespread convection by any means, but just cannot rule out isolated or scattered storms. Daytime temperatures will remain hot Friday with h85 temps around 29C and surface dewpoints in the 60s and 70s leading to highs well into the 90s and topping 100F, with heat indices in the 105 to 110 degree range. Chances for storms continue Friday night as convection along the high plains is expected to migrate eastward on the nose of a 40kt low level jet. A shortwave trough crossing our region Saturday will bring continued chances for showers and thunderstorms, and temperatures are still looking hot in the 90s ahead of an approaching cold frontal boundary. Will need to monitor whether cloud cover and only a slight cooling of mid level temperatures will be sufficient to drop the heat headline. Better mixing in increasing southerly winds may result in lower dewpoints and heat index readings and will be something to monitor. The cold frontal boundary crosses our region Saturday night into Sunday, with chances for storms continuing along the boundary. Temperatures drop back several degrees behind the front by Sunday, ending the prolonged heat spell. Otherwise, heading into next week temperatures are looking more seasonal with intermittent chances for storms. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z KGRI/KEAR TAFS through 12Z Friday morning) Issued at 524 AM CDT Thu Jul 21 2016 Overall, no significant changes made for this TAF period, with VFR conditions in the forecast. While thunderstorm chances remain this evening/overnight, confidence in any impact at the terminals remains low enough to continue keeping any mention out. Winds look to continue out of the south for much of the period, before becoming more variable toward the end as a sfc boundary approaches. Speeds during the day expected to be around 15 MPH. && .GID Watches/Warnings/Advisories... NE...Excessive Heat Warning until 7 PM CDT Friday for NEZ039>041- 046>049-060>064-072>077-082>087.

AbstractSierra Lobo proposes to develop a technology that can provide both cooling and electric power generation using heat. When coupled with a radioisotope heat source, the technology is ideally suited to the needs of a long-lived Venus lander. The heat source powers Sierra Lobo's Thermoacoustic Stirling Heat Engine (TASHE), which is directly coupled to a Pulse Tube Refrigerator (PTR) in a duplex configuration. A linear alternator, also directly coupled, generates electricity. This configuration reduces the number of energy conversion processes and thus maximizes efficiency. The PTR cools a space called the coldbay that houses the linear alternator and scientific instruments. The only moving parts in the system are free pistons that tune the resonant frequency, which operate at Venus-ambient temperature, and the linear alternators that operate near Earth-ambient temperature.The system can potentially be used with the gas from the atmosphere of Venus, which is primarily composed of CO2, as a working fluid. This provides two key advantages: (1) The system can make the transit to Venus in a low-pressure state, which significantly decreases system mass, and (2) the effect of leakage during operation is minimized, providing confidence in long mission lifetime.

Medical records are an important tool in the practice of medicine. They serve as a basis for planning patient care, they provide a means of communication between the physician and other professional groups contributing to the patient's care, they furnish documentary evidence of the course of the patient's illness and treatment, and they serve as a basis for review, study, and evaluation of the medical care rendered to the patient. For these reasons the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals considers the quality of medical records an important indication of the quality of patient care given in a hospital.Since medical records reflect patient care, the Commission evaluates a medical record on the basis of whether or not it contains sufficient recorded information to justify the diagnosis and warrant the treatment and end results. In agreement with this principle, the Commission has established certain standards of record keeping

The confusion about what charges exactly have lead to the extradition hearings against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange reached a fever pitch this week with Michael Moore and Keith Olbermann both coming under fire for perpetuating the much bandied about myth that only a "broken condom" is responsible for the "sex by surprise" charges that Assange faces in Sweden. Now, the Guardian is detailing the charges for the first time, after receiving "unauthorised access" to police files.
From the Guardian, via Gawker, comes the story of one accuser, known as Miss A:
The allegations centre on a 10-day period after Assange flew into Stockholm on Wednesday 11 August. One of the women, named in court as Miss A, told police that she had arranged Assange's trip to Sweden, and let him stay in her flat because she was due to be away. She returned early, on Friday 13 August, after which the pair went for a meal and then returned to her flat.
Her account to police, which Assange disputes, stated that he began stroking her leg as they drank tea, before he pulled off her clothes and snapped a necklace that she was wearing. According to her statement she "tried to put on some articles of clothing as it was going too quickly and uncomfortably but Assange ripped them off again". Miss A told police that she didn't want to go any further "but that it was too late to stop Assange as she had gone along with it so far", and so she allowed him to undress her.
According to the statement, Miss A then realised he was trying to have unprotected sex with her. She told police that she had tried a number of times to reach for a condom but Assange had stopped her by holding her arms and pinning her legs. The statement records Miss A describing how Assange then released her arms and agreed to use a condom, but she told the police that at some stage Assange had "done something" with the condom that resulted in it becoming ripped, and ejaculated without withdrawing.
Miss A told a friend it was "the worst sex ever" and, "Not only had it been the world's worst screw, it had also been violent."
After a night of sex with another woman, in which Assange allegedly resisted wearing a condom again, Miss W alleges:
[S]he had gone to buy breakfast before getting back into bed and falling asleep beside Assange. She had awoken to find him having sex with her, she said, but when she asked whether he was wearing a condom he said no. "According to her statement, she said: 'You better not have HIV' and he answered: 'Of course not,' " but "she couldn't be bothered to tell him one more time because she had been going on about the condom all night. She had never had unprotected sex before."

Assange has not been formally charged with a crime, but expect the stories of his accusers to spread wildly, hopefully correcting the public record, not in reference to his guilt or innocence, but at least when it comes to the accusations he's facing.
That said, online daters beware.

Top 10 US Cities for Jobs Now
Although the national unemployment rate ticked up slightly in May 2011, some large cities are seeing an increase in private-sector hiring. In fact, more than 90 percent of the country's largest metro areas saw a drop in unemployment in April, according to the US Department of Labor.
And one reason for this improvement is likely seasonal summer hiring. The Labor Department reports that regions that see a large influx of tourists during the summer showed the steepest month-over-month declines in unemployment. But summer hiring doesn't tell the whole story. Using data pulled from Monster.com's vast number of job postings and other sources*, we're seeing an increase in job postings in cities on both coasts as well as in the heartland.
And while not everyone can relocate to where the jobs are, we think the story here is encouraging -- and many job seekers seem to agree. Although the economy's improvement remains slow, we're seeing a dramatic increase in the number of employed workers who have ridden out the recession and are now job searching again.
With that in mind, here's a look at the top 10 metro areas for jobs:
1. Washington, DC-Arlington-Alexandria
Industries to Watch: Demand is strong in architecture/engineering, as well as in the related categories of construction/extraction and installation/repair and maintenance.

Can a 12-Core ARM Cluster hit critical mass?
Subject: Processors | June 26, 2012 - 05:08 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: arm, cortex-a9, e-350, i7-3770k, z530, Ivy Bridge, atom, Zacate
Taking a half dozen PandaBoard ESes from Texas Instruments that have a 1.2GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor onboard, Phoronix built a 12-core ARM machine to test out against AMD's E-350 APU as well as Intel's Atom Z530 and a Core i7 3770K. Before you you make the assumption that the ARM's will be totally outclassed by any of these processors, Phoronix is testing performance per Watt and the ARM system uses a total of 31W when fully stressed and idles below 20W, which gives ARM a big lead on power consumption.
Phoronix tested out these four systems and the results were rather surprising as it seems Intel's Ivy Bridge is a serious threat to ARM. Not only did it provide more total processing power, its performance per Watt tended to beat ARM and more importantly to many, it is cheaper to build an i7-3770K system than it is to set up a 12-core ARM server. The next generation of ARM chips have some serious competition.
"Last week I shared my plans to build a low-cost, 12-core, 30-watt ARMv7 cluster running Ubuntu Linux. The ARM cluster that is built around the PandaBoard ES development boards is now online and producing results... Quite surprising results actually for a low-power Cortex-A9 compute cluster. Results include performance-per-Watt comparisons to Intel Atom and Ivy Bridge processors along with AMD's Fusion APU."

The Surface Tablet should be cheaper than an Ultrabook, but not by much
Subject: General Tech | June 20, 2012 - 01:34 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: surface, ultrabook, Pegatron, windows rt, windows 8, tablet, microsoft, arm, tegra 3
You've met Microsoft's two new Surface Tablet by now, either in Scott's write up or elsewhere on the net and are aware that there is a less expensive ARM and Tegra 3 version and a more expensive Ivy Bridge model. What you might not have known is the expected pricing, a lack that DigiTimes remedies this morning with the prediction the WinRT model will cost at least $600 and the Win8 model more than $800. Both are being assembled by Pegatron Technology but the amount being assembled is still unknown. The Surface Tablet is certainly attention grabbing but it costs significantly more than other tablets and many full notebooks, but it likely to be lower priced than either Intel or Apple's ultraportable devices which puts it in an odd spot in the market. How many will be willing to pay that much for a multi-touch tablet with dock?
"Sources from notebook players have revealed that Microsoft's 10.6-inch Surface tablet PCs will be outsourced to Pegatron Technology for assembly; however, there is still not a firm estimate for order volumes.
The sources also estimated the end-market price of the Windows 8 Pro-based Surface tablet PC with Ivy Bridge processor to be at least above US$799, while the Windows RT-based model, featuring Nvidia's Tegra 3, will be priced above US$599."

Day 3 - Thursday, June 14th
We are here at AFDS 2012 for the day 3 keynotes - join us as find out what else AMD has in store.
If you are looking for Tuesday or Wednesday keynotes and information on the announcement of the HSA Foundation, you can find it below, after the break!
AMD Licenses ARM Technology: AMD Leans on ARM for Security
Subject: Processors | June 13, 2012 - 10:00 AM | Josh Walrath
Tagged: TrustZone, hsa, Cortex-A5, cortex, arm, APU, amd, AFDS
Last year after that particular AFDS, there was much speculation that AMD and ARM would get a whole lot closer. Today we have confirmed that in two ways. The first is that AMD and ARM are founding members of the HSA Foundation. This endeavor is a rather ambitious project that looks to make it much easier for programmers to access the full computer power of a CPU/GPU combo, or as AMD likes to call them, the APU. The second confirmation is one that has been theorized for quite some time, but few people have actually hit upon the actual implementation. This second confirmation is that AMD is licensing ARM cores and actually integrating them into their x86 based APUs.
AFDS 2012: HSA Foundation Joins AMD, ARM, Ti, Imagination and MediaTek with Open Architecture
Subject: Graphics Cards, Processors | June 12, 2012 - 01:31 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: texas instruments, mediatek, imagination, hsa foundation, hsa, arm, amd, AFDS
Today is a big day for AMD as they, along with four other major players in the world of processors and SoCs, announced the formation of the HSA Foundation. The HSA Foundation is a non-profit consortium created to define and promote an open approach to heterogeneous computing. The primary goal is to make it easier for software developers to write and program for the parallel power of GPUs. This encompasses both integrated and discrete of which the HSA (heterogeneous systems architecture) Foundation wants to enable users to take full advantage of all the processing resources available to them.
On stage at the AMD Fusion Developer Summit in Bellevue, WA, AMD announced the formation of the consortium in partnership with ARM, Imagination Technologies, MediaTek, and Texas Instruments; some of the biggest names in computing.
The companies will work together to drive a single architecture specification and simplify the programming model to help software developers take greater advantage of the capabilities found in modern central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs), and unlock the performance and power efficiency of the parallel computing engines found in heterogeneous processors.
There are a lot of implications in this simple statement and there are many questions that are left open ended to which we hope to get answered this week while at AFDS. The idea of a "single architecture specification" set a lot of things in motion and makes us question the direction of both AMD and the traditionally ARM-based companies of the HSA Foundation will be moving in. AMD has had the APU, and the eventual complete fusion of the CPU and GPU, on its roadmap for quite a few years and has publicly stated that in 2014 they will have their first fully HSA-capable part. We are still assuming that this is an x86 + Radeon based part, but that may or may not be the long term goal; ideas of ARM-based AMD processors with Radeon graphics technology AND of Radeon based ARM-processors built by other companies still swirl amongst the show. There are even rumors of Frankenstein-like combinations of x86 and ARM based products for niche applications.
Looks like there is room for a few more founding partners...
Obviously ARM and others have their own graphics IP (ARM has Mali, Imagination Technology has Power VR) and those GPUs can be used for parallel processing in much the same way that we think of GPU processing on discrete GPUs and APUs today. ARM processor designers are well aware of the power and efficiency benefits of utilizing all of the available transistors and processing power correctly and the emphasis on an HSA-style system design makes a lot of sense moving forward.
My main question for the HSA Foundation is its goals: obviously they want to promote the simplistic approach for programmers, but what does that actually translate to on the hardware side? It is possible that both x86 and ARM-based ISAs can continue to exist with libraries and compilers built to correctly handle applications for each architecture, but that would seem to me to be against the goals of such a partnership of technology leaders.
In a meeting with AMD personnel, the most powerful and inspiring idea from the HSA Foundation is summed up with this:
"This is bigger than AMD. This is bigger than the PC ecosystem."
The end game is to make sure that all software developers can EASILY take advantage of both traditional and parallel processing cores without ever having to know what is going on under the hood. AMD and the other HSA Foundation members continue to tell us that this optimization can be completely ISA-agnostic – though the technical blockages for that to take place are severe.
AMD will benefit from the success of the HSA Foundation by finally getting more partners involved in promoting the idea of heterogeneous computing, and powerful ones at that. ARM is the biggest player in the low power processor market responsible for the Cortex and Mali architectures found in the vast majority of mobile processors. As those partners trumpet the same cause as AMD, more software will be developed to take advantage of parallel computing and AMD believes their GPU architecture gives them a definite performance advantage once that takes hold.
What I find most interesting is the unknown – how will this affect the roadmaps for all the hardware companies involved? Are we going to see the AMD APU roadmap shift to an ARM-IP system? Will we see companies like Texas Instruments fully integrate the OMAP and Power VR cores into a single memory space (or ARM with Cortex and Mali)? Will we eventually see NVIDIA jump onboard and lend their weight towards true heterogenous computing?
We have much more the learn about the HSA Foundation and its direction for the industry but we can easily say that this is probably the most important processor company collaboration announcement in many years – and it does so without the 800 pound gorilla that is Intel in attendance. By going after the ARM-based markets where Intel is already struggling to compete in, AMD can hope to create a foothold with technological and partnership advantages and return to a seat of prominence. This harkens back to the late 1990s when AMD famously put together the "virtual gorilla" with many partners to take on Intel.

AMD's new Embedded Solutions Group aims at a new market
Subject: General Tech | June 12, 2012 - 01:01 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: amd, arm, IBM, Freescale, AFDS, ESG
According to the VDC Research Group's findings, the embedded market will hit $6bn in sales in 2012 and keep growing at a rate of 12%-15% per year. AMD seems poised to move into this market with the formation of their Embedded Solution Group and the changes we have been seeing to their processor lines. Current Opteron HE and EE chips consume between 35W and 65W depending on the number of cores and that amount might be trimmed down as new models come out. They also have lines of embedded Athlon, Turion, Sempron, and Geode LX based chips and have hired an FPGA veteran, Arun Iyengar, to manage the ESG though The Register expresses doubt that AMD is thinking of developing it's own FPGA business. More likely they hope to provide powerful alternatives for those in the market that now need a little more from their embedded products. Read the full story here and keep your eyes peeled for more news coming out of the AMD Fusion Developer Summit.
"The new management team at Advanced Micro Devices is looking everywhere, including under the couch cushions, to find some money so it can afford to explore the embedded systems market again. The chip biz hopes rivals Intel and the ARM collective are too distracted to notice the foray as they fight over each others' territories in PCs, servers and mobile devices."

AFDS 2012: ARM once again on stage with AMD - partnership incoming?
Subject: Mobile, Shows and Expos | June 11, 2012 - 12:01 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: mali, arm, amd, AFDS
In a blog post over at arm.com, ARM Fellow Jem Davies has made a point to let us all know that he is going to be attending the AMD Fusion Developer Summit yet again, but this time with something more concrete to discuss. In a very self-aware statement, Davies writes in his post that "my appearance last year generated a lot of speculation about the nature of the relationship between ARM and AMD."
From Davies' post:
This year, we have a great deal to discuss. ARM is all about low power and many people in the industry now realize that GPUs have a central role to play in providing highly energy-efficient computing. It's an exciting future that can grow the ecosystem that surrounds computing. ARM's unique portfolio of CPU, GPU, interconnect and physical IP puts us at the forefront of one of the most important technological changes in a long time. Reflecting on that and some of those changes, I will be making an announcement at the show.
Emphasis above is ours.
Also worth noting is that Jem Davies does not have his own session at AFDS, but rather we can expect to see him to come out on stage during another keynote, likely during Phil Rogers' or Mark Papermaster's.
AMD wants into the tablet market. ARM could accelerate that process.
Exactly WHAT the ARM/AMD announcement might be obviously isn't known by many yet, but we have speculated many times that an AMD built, ARM architecture processor, with Radeon-based graphics technology and ARM low-power CPU cores, could help AMD enter into the world of ultra-lower power SoCs very quickly. Markets like the pending onslaught of Windows 8 RT tablets and clamshells have NVIDIA foaming at the mouth and AMD would be remiss to not attempt to tackle the same markets and one-up Intel at the same time.
It should be an exciting week! Keep checking pcper.com and our AFDS site tag for all the latest news including keynote live blogs!
Dell uses ARM-based "Copper" servers to accelerate ecosystem
Subject: Processors, Systems | May 29, 2012 - 05:15 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: server, dell, copper, arm
Dell announced today that is going to help enable the world of the ARM-based server ecosystem by enabling key hyperscale customers to access and develop on Dell's own "Copper" ARM servers.
Dell today announced it is responding to the demands of our customers for continued innovation in support of hyperscale environments, and enabling the ecosystem for ARM-based servers. The ARM-based server market is approaching an inflection point, marked by increasing customer interest in testing and developing applications, and Dell believes now is the right time to help foster development and testing of operating systems and applications for ARM servers.
Dell is recognized as an industry leader in both the x86 architecture and the hyperscale server market segments. Dell began testing ARM server technology internally in 2010 in response to increasing customer demands for density and power efficiency, and worked closely with select Dell Data Center Solutions (DCS) hyperscale customers to understand their interest level and expectations for ARM-based servers. Today's announcement is a natural extension of Dell's server leadership and the company's continued focus on delivering next generation technology innovation.
While these servers are still not publicly available, Dell is fostering the development of software and verification processes by seeding these unique servers to a select few groups. PC Perspective is NOT one of them.
Each of these 3U rack mount machines includes 48 independent servers, each based around a 1.6 GHz quad-core Marvell Armada XP SoC. Each of the sleds (pictured below) holds four discrete server nodes, each capable of as much as 8GB of memory on a single DDR3 UDIMM. Each node can access one 2.5-in HDD bay and one Gigabit Ethernet connection.
Click for a larger view
Even though we are still very early into the life cycle of ARM architectures in the server room, Dell claims that these systems are built perfectly for web front-ends and Hadoop environments:
Customers have expressed great interest in understanding ARM-based server advantages and how they may apply to their hyperscale environments. Dell believes ARM infrastructures demonstrate promise for web front-end and Hadoop environments, where advantages in performance per dollar and performance per watt are critical. The ARM server ecosystem is still developing, and largely available in open-source, non-production versions, and the current focus is on supporting development of that ecosystem. Dell has designed its programs to support today's market realities by providing lightweight, high-performance seed units and easy remote access to development clusters.
There is little doubt that Intel will feel and address this competition in the coming years.
Mmm, Raspberry Pi!
Subject: General Tech | May 4, 2012 - 12:02 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Raspberry Pi, hardware, embedded systems, arm
It is not often the tech community gets excited about a minimalist piece of hardware like the Raspberry Pi; unless you follow Limor Fried it is unlikely you are even aware of the last time a new Arduino shield was released or just what you can stick in an Altoids tin. Be that as it may, the $35 Raspberry Pi has been making news and peaking the interest of a large range of people. The specs don't stand up if you compare them to a netbook but the footprint on the Pi is much smaller, at 85.60mm x 53.98mm x 17mm. Both models are powered with a 700MHz ARM1176JZF-S CPU core, 256MB of RAM and a Broadcom VideoCore IV GPU with the Model A lacking ethernet and a single USB 2.0 port, the Model B has 2 USB ports and ethernet. Tim has been covering the troubled path to retail for the Pi but has yet to get his hands on one. TechSpot did get a hold of the Model B and put together a brief tutorial covering the basics of setting up your Pi but they can't really show you how to use it, as the entire point of the Pi is that it is a flexible platform that is probably capable of fulfilling anything you can imagine a low powered system could do.
"When the first 10,000 devices shipped in mid-April, the organization graciously sent us a sample for coverage. Along with a hands-on review of the Pi, today we'll be covering basic steps for setting up the computer and other elemental post-installation tasks to get you up and running with applications. In other words, this should serve as a starting point no matter what you want to do with your Raspberry Pi."

Central Districts made short work of Otago on day four of
their Plunket Shield match in Napier today, winning by 10
Starting the day at 237 for eight, Otago added only two runs
to their total as they were bowled out inside two overs this
morning. Mark Craig didn't add to his overnight total of 20
before being caught by Jeet Raval off Andrew Mathieson, and
No 11 Blair Soper was caught by Jamie How also off
Mathieson's bowling for no score.
Mathieson finished with career-best figures of five for 39 as
he ripped through Otago's lineup.
Central rattled off the 21 runs needed in 4.5 overs with
Raval (14 not out) and How (five not out) steering Central to
a comfortable 10-wicket victory. The win was set up in the
first couple of days when Central amassed 476 in their first
innings and then skittled Otago for 257, forcing them to
follow on.
It means Central (63 points) have established a handy lead
over Otago (33) on the Plunket Shield points table with three
outright wins in their four games.
Auckland are third with 30 points but their chances of an
outright win over Wellington were thwarted today by light
rain in Auckland. With no play possible on Eden Park's outer
oval, it was a disappointing end to what had been an
entertaining match.
Wellington (145-2) needed another 133 runs to make Auckland
bat again, with the home side seeking eight wickets for
