Dear BadgeOs team,
Really liked the plugin and I am a premium add-on user. Just wanted to know if you had a snippet to use for buddypress, to filter the activity stream.
I have a badge for loyalty visit (1 point each time you come back and login), but then the activity stream is only showing these and get spammy.
I have quests that are important to be seen by others, but these type of low level badge must not be streamed as they are today.

SCSU Swept by Miami
St. Cloud State's men's hockey team, the top ranked seed in the NCHC playoffs hosted the bottom team, Miami University in first round playoff action at the Brooks Center in a best two of three matchup. The winner of the series would advance to the conference tournament, the Frozen Faceoff, at the Target Center March 21-22.
It was a ping-pong game of back and fourth goals in the first game of the series on Friday night that saw the Huskies trailing with less than a minute to play. Senior captain, Kevin Gravel scored to tie the game with one tenth of a second remaining, sending the game to overtime. In the extra frame it was Miami University who scored first for the win, the final score was 5-4.
Saturday's game was a bit more defensive until the Huskies got on the board twice in the second. Despite a two-goal SCSU lead, the game was far from over. The Redhawks would four goals in the third period for the win, the game winner coming with just two point six seconds left on the clock. Triggering elation for the Redhawks and heartbreak for the Huskies. Miami will advance to the conference tournament and the Huskies are left to wait until the NCAA selection show to determine where and when they will play in national playoffs. The selection show is Sunday, March 23, 2014. Stay tuned for the latest news via our Twitter page.

It's easy to overlook among all the other more important things going on in the world, but Aug. 12 is Middle Child Day.
As the second of three children born in a 36-month period, this is the one day of the year I get any attention at all. In this regard, I'm not as lucky as the eight famous middle children you're about to read about, many of whom get attention every day of the year.
But apart from that, how do these celebrity middle children conform to the stereotype? That's what we're exploring, below:
Kim Kardashian
Kim's subsequent transformation, then, is an inspiration for any middle child searching for self-actualization. As Psychology Today tells middles, "Self-esteem is best when earned."
Bill Gates
A few years back, a study went around the middle-child message boards claiming that middles are more likely to succeed in life, thanks to their open-minded nature and tolerance for risk. It's too early to say conclusively whether or not this is the case, but Bill Gates, sandwiched between two sisters, seems to provide one heartening case study for middles, particularly those who dream of jumping over chairs for a living.

Salisbury, MD - "bail bonds" search results
About Bail Bonds
Bail bonds can help people obtain the bail money needed for jail. You can use it to bail yourself, your friend, or your family member out of jail in the unfortunate event that such a case comes up. A few bail bond companies here and there will even let a bail bondsman go to the jail house if needed. Bail bond personnel are convenient to have around because they're already familiar with the system. They already know very well which types of forms to fill out and are well-versed with how jail bonds work because they do it for a living.

More on Bail bonds
Not everyone is familiar with how bail bonds work, and that really isn't surprising because it's not like common people end up in jail on regular basis (unless of course you're a criminal or you run with dangerous people or live in the shady part of town). In any case, if you're not familiar with the system of bail bonds then you may want to educate yourself, just in case. There are some terms used when dealing with jail bonds so it would be very helpful if you at least knew what the terminology means. For instance, the term bail posting refers to the situation in which one party pledges to pay for the amount of money to the other party. That way, the party in jail can be freed until his hearing is scheduled. Then there is what you call a bail bondsman. This individual works for the defendant to ensure that they stay out of jail at all times unless necessary. You may also encounter the term bounty hunter which pertains to people who seek the cash reward or bounty for finding wanted individuals. Additionally, you may also encounter the term bail which simply refers to the specific amount of money that's needed to release a person from prison until his hearing or court date.

Homecoming....two-game losing streak....high expectations.
That, in a nutshell, describes West Texas A&M University as it prepares to meet Tarleton State at 3 this afternoon at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium in a Lone Star Conference South Division matchup.
While it's the Buffs' homecoming, they will be trying to end a two-game losing streak that has sent them to 2-3 overall and 0-2 in LSC play in a season that began with high hopes.
Tarleton is 3-2 overall and 2-1 in conference play after losing 23-20 to Texas A&M-Kingsville last week after leading 20-14 in the fourth quarter.
After beating Northwestern Oklahoma State University 27-10 on Sept. 15, WT has lost back-to-back road games to Northeastern State (28-17) and Angelo State (30-10).
Buffs' fifth-year head coach Stan McGarvey says this is a big game for his club in a number of ways.
"Everyone is pretty disappointed after losing the last two weeks," McGarvey said. "We had our chances, but just made too many mistakes, and didn't get the job done.
"The players and coaches are still upbeat, and I think we can turn things around.
"This is a big week for us. First, it's homecoming and that's a big thing on campus. There is always a lot of excitement that goes with it. Second, we need a win. I hate to say it's a do-or-die game, because every game the rest of the way is big.
"Third, we need something positive to happen to us. It would be a big confidence-boost."
The Buffs haven't played all that poorly the last two weeks, and McGarvey is aware of that fact. In each game, they fell behind by either 13 or 14 points at halftime and weren't able to overcome that deficit.
At Northeastern State, WT missed three field goals in the first half, including failing to capitalize on excellent opportunities in the red zone.
It was pretty much the same last week against Angelo State as the Buffs trailed 13-0 at halftime and 27-3 after three quarters.
In each game, WT had more than 300 yards total offense and moved the ball consistently.
"In each game, we either had a costly penalty or busted play at the wrong time in the score zone," McGarvey said. "We just have to elevate our game above that if we're to be successful.
"It seems we're in a mode where we have to be perfect in order to put points on the scoreboard. That puts a lot of pressure on you to not make mistakes. But that's how it's been for us lately.
"And Tarleton is a good club just like any team on our schedule the rest of the way. From here on, there are no easy games. This conference has become balanced from top to bottom, and the teams that execute best on Saturday are the ones that win consistently."
The Texans beat WT 43-19 last year at Stephenville in a game where they had a season-best 335 yards rushing. And that from a team that averaged nearly 250 yards passing.
Tarleton quarterback Steve Kelly needs just over 1,200 yards the rest of this season to become the school's all-time passing leader. He threw for 370 yards and three TDs last week as the Texans rolled up 403 yards total offense against A&M-Kingsville.
"Kelly is an outstanding passer, but it was their running game that did us in last year," McGarvey said. "And it wasn't anything tricky either. They just kept running off tackle, and with a lot of success."
So, going into this game, McGarvey knows his club must prepare well defensively.
"Like on offense, you have to be balanced defensively as well," he said. "We know Kelly can hurt a team throwing, but they have some quality running backs that can hurt you as well. We will have to play the run and pass equally well."
The all-time series is even at 5-5 with WT winning three of the last four.
The last time Tarleton won at Kimbrough Stadium was in 1993 by a 28-27 margin when both fielded non-scholarship teams.
The Buffs will hit the road again next week playing away from home for the third time in four weeks when they visit Texas A&M-Commerce. After that, they will play three of the final four games at home with only a short trip to Eastern New Mexico on Nov. 3.

I'm commuting about half an hour each way to work. We've been rearranging belongings and vehicles, using our travel trailer as a storage space for the moment, and that's taken up extra time. This weekend we'll work on the hawk mews for Rusty. And I can look forward to my first substantial paycheck to hit the bank account on Sept. 11th. We need to get moving on house-hunting if we are to manage to get the $8K stimulus credit for home-buying.
Monthly Archives: August 2009
This is a short note written from the Florida welcome center just south of Georgia off I-75. They have free WiFi. Later I may go into the new half-inch soon-to-be scar on my pate and the great trailer tire fiasco, but for now this is an update on progress. I should be in Clearwater by early evening.
Dembski and Marks Get One Past the Reviewers
William Dembski and Robert Marks finally managed to turn one of their joint manuscripts into a publication. The paper will appear in IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics. There is a PDF of it available here. I'm in the midst of packing, so I just confirmed that Dembski and Marks carefully preserved the error I informed Dembski of almost 9 years ago and Marks almost 2 years ago.
I mentioned some time ago that I would write a response for publication, and I intend to do that. Right now, though, the trailers are partially loaded and there's a fair bit more work and the trip to do yet.
One more thing… Dembski wants this paper to count in the pro-ID peer-reviewed category and show up in the DI list and whatnot.
P.S. Our critics will immediately say that this really isn't a pro-ID article but that it's about something else (I've seen this line now for over a decade once work on ID started encroaching into peer-review territory). Before you believe this, have a look at the article. In it we critique, for instance, Richard Dawkins METHINKS*IT*IS*LIKE*A*WEASEL (p. 1055). Question: When Dawkins introduced this example, was he arguing pro-Darwinism? Yes he was. In critiquing his example and arguing that information is not created by unguided evolutionary processes, we are indeed making an argument that supports ID.
The only way to understand the above is if one accepts the religious antievolution "two model" way of thinking. That goes like this: there are only two alternatives, evolution or {creation | design}. Therefore, evidence against evolution is evidence for {creation | design}. The "two model" argument got well-deserved thrashings in McLean v. Arkansas and Edwards v. Aguillard. It's nice to see Dembski continuing to stick with just the classic, long-rebutted religious antievolution arguments.
Editorial Ignorance at Investor's Business Daily
Sometimes editorials are just a way to prevent a few blank column-inches. Certainly the editors of the Investor's Business Daily would have been better off with blank column inches than with the screed they actually published. After all, if you are making an argument and cite an example that not only does not work for you, but undermines your entire premise of argumentation, you have done yourself no favors. The IBD (an acronym I know all too well in another context) editors want to make out that a health care system that covers everyone can't possibly work, and they try to point out an example of where such a system must fail.
People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless.
Uh, hello? Stephen Hawking is a UK citizen. Hawking is known for apologizing for the Midwest accent of his speech synthesis circuitry. In Brit lingo, that's an own goal. I'd fear more for Hawking if he were stricken with an acute illness while visiting the USA and left in the tender mercies of an overcrowded public emergency room here without a recognized US health insurance plan.
It is long past time when health care is provided universally on a rational basis, and not left to uninsured people having to use last-ditch emergency room care as their sole contact with the health care system. This isn't rocket science, and if we wanted a system that provides health care to everyone *and* works well, we could invent it. First, though, we have to get past the naysayers with either vested interests or too little compassion for the plight of others.
Hat tip to Lou Shackleton.
Update: Ed Brayton notes that Hawking has taken the editors to task, and that the editors put a disclaimer up to say that their implication that Hawking was not a UK citizens was incorrect. As Ed says that's not the point, which was that their argument depended on Hawking dying earlier if he was a UK citizen. The fact that Hawking is here to upbraid them means their argument is of the same value as a bit of doggy-doo on the bottom of your shoe.
Moving On
Life is change.
I'm at a change point in my life. My time here at Michigan State University is up. Fortunately, there is a next job in the offing. I am currently in the midst of packing to head south to Florida. I will be taking up a job at the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) in St. Petersburg, Florida. It has been quite a while since I last worked for the State of Florida.
I will be working on various projects there to collect, collate, store, retrieve, and analyze wildlife research data. FWRI handles most of the research data that the state's biologists collect on species like the critically endangered Florida panther, manatees, and many others.
Florida also happens to be where I was born, and where my family and Diane's family reside. That part is a plus. My sister, Emily Kay, will be coming up here in about a week to help us with the end of the packing and loading up two trailers for the move south. Moving is always a chore, and we've moved our stuff from place to place about 11 times in the past 23 years. That part doesn't really seem to get any better with time. Unfortunately, there is no moving allowance for the particular job at FWRI. If you feel like helping out, drop some change in the tip jar: look in the right sidebar for "Money Stuff" and the "Make a Donation" button there.
Update: My thanks to those who have contributed to the moving fund. That will be such a help over the next few weeks.
Florida Wants Comments on De-listing Peregrine Falcons
Just noticed this at Florida Animal Law:
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) had requested comments from the public regarding plans to delist the peregrine falcon, as well as any economic and social factors that should be considered in managing the falcons in Florida (WCTV).
The falcons are slated to be delisted from the state's imperiled species list. Comments can be submitted to Peregrine Falcon Management Plan Comments, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Northeast Region, 1239 SW 10th St., Ocala, FL 34471-0323 or e-mailed to email@example.com. Comments must be received by 5 p.m., Aug. 12, 2008.
August 12th is approaching rapidly. Get those comments in.
Banks and Deposits
There's a site called "Complaints Board" where I found a complaint that reminded me of a personal experience. He had a problem with a hold being placed on a deposit.
I went to deposit my paycheck on friday @ noon. They said I could only have access to $100 until tomorrow. This irritated me but I let it go. The next the day the money wasn't there so I called them. They said that due to my lack of deposits with them, they were going to hold my paycheck for 5 days. I am a new customer with them. I told them I needed the money because I had 3 young children and need to buy food. They didn't care. I could see their point if it was a personal check, but it was my paycheck, from a local business. What I support my family on. I told them that I would be canceling my acct as soon as I can get my direct deposit that I had just set up change over to a different bank. I also told them I would tell everyone I know and tell the public in every way possible not to use their bank and if they were, to cancel. The associate I spoke to refused to let me speak to a supervisor. They said in their huge booklet they sent me with it states in their they could hold anyone's money at their discretion. Don't ever use this bank. They are heartless, money grubbing, useless people that waste the oxygen that God gave them.
Here's my response to that:
They cannot hold anyone's money at their discretion. Federal banking law provides that funds that have cleared *must* be made available to the account holder.
That does mean, though, that they can refuse you the courtesy of providing the funds drawn on any third party's account *until* they have cleared. But they cannot impose an arbitrary hold time, such as "two weeks" or "ten business days". Once you confirm that the issuing bank has released the funds, the law says you must have access to them.
It does seem that banks do often use the ignorance of their customers regarding this aspect of banking law. This obviously favors the bank, since they earn interest on the money that they do not let you use for the period of their arbitrary "hold" on a deposit.
I once was refused access to funds one day, the money primarily being in the form of a recent deposit. The next morning, I checked with the issuing bank and confirmed that they had released the funds. I went back to my bank and requested the same value cashier's check as I had the day before.
"It is bank policy that deposits be held for ten days," the clerk told me dismissively.
"It is federal law that you must release the funds on a draft that has cleared, and the draft in question has cleared. So which are we going to follow, bank policy or federal law?"
I got my check.
LaTeX and MicroSoft Word
I've gotten used to using as my usual document preparation tool. However, many of the people I collaborate with are not into and would prefer that we use MicroSoft Word instead for drafts of manuscripts.
I had tried applying the latex2rtf package before to get a version of an existing manuscript into a form that Word would recognize. I failed completely; the translation simply didn't work well.
Given a task of preparing a new manuscript, though, I decided to have another look at latex2rtf. I installed it on the MacBook Pro. That was simple, just a "make; make install" process at the command line. Then I started building my manuscript in TeXShop. I'd typeset the source, then apply latex2rtf to it.
What I can say is that the help available for latex2rtf is sparse. What there is indicates that one should stick to general and common features of . That is good advice.
Some advice for latex2rtf, though, is misleading. It claims to pick up parameters from the statement for the "geometry" package. I tried changing my margins there, and while my document reflected those, the RTF I got did not. Also, I could include graphics, but they appeared without scaling in the RTF. After a while of Googling without result, I finally dug into the latex2rtf source code. That produced results.
To expand the width of text on the page, I ended up using the following:
\oddsidemargin 0.0in
\textwidth 6.5in
That worked for both the and RTF versions of the manuscript.
Instead of using an absolute size for included graphics, I found that if I used "[scale=0.45]" in my "includegraphics" call, that worked well enough for both document systems.
So far, I haven't encountered a difficulty in having the equations carry over to RTF. This looks like it may actually work. I'll have to figure out how to highlight differences in edited Word documents so that I can efficiently carry over edits to the source, but I'm hopeful that won't be too difficult.

Use the > command. To indent 5 lines, 5>>. To mark a block of lines and indent it, Vjj> to indent 3 lines (vim only). To indent a curly-braces block, put your cursor on one of the curly braces and use >%.
If you're copying blocks of text around and need to align the indent of a block in its new location, use ]p instead of just p. This aligns the pasted block with the surrounding text.
Also, the
This answer summarises the other answers and comments of this question, and adds extra information based on the Vim documentation and the Vim wiki. For conciseness, this answer doesn't distinguish between Vi and Vim-specific commands.
In the commands below, "re-indent" means "indent lines according to your indentation settings."
General Commands
You can replace
Also, remember that
, so indentation commands can be easily and conveniently repeated.
Re-indenting complete files
Another common situation is requiring indentation to be fixed throughout a source file:
You can extend this idea to multiple files:
Or multiple buffers:
In Visual Mode
In insert mode
These commands apply to the current line:
Ex commands
These are useful when you want to indent a specific range of lines, without moving your cursor.
Indenting using markers
Another approach is via markers:
...move cursor to end location
Variables that govern indentation
You can set these in your .vimrc file.
Vim has intelligent indentation based on filetype. Try adding this to your .vimrc:
A big selection would be
it is really fast, and everything gets indented ;-)
Also try this for C-indenting indentation, do
That will auto-indent the current code block you're in.
Or just:
to auto-indent the current line.
Key-Presses for more visual people:
In addition to the answer already given and accepted, it is also possible to place a marker and then indent everything from the current cursor to the marker. Thus, enter
As well as the offered solutions, I like to do things a paragraph at a time with
The master of all commands is
This indents the entire file!
And below are some of the simple and elegant commands used to indent lines quickly in Vim or gVim.
To indent the current line
To indent the all the lines below the current line
To indent
For example, to indent 4 lines below the current line
To indent a block of code, go to one of the braces and use command
These are the simplest, yet powerful commands to indent multiple lines.
when you select a block and use > to indent, it indents then goes back to normal mode. I have this in my .vimrc :
It lets you indent your selection as many time as you want.
Go to the start of the text
The beauty of vim's UI is that it's consistent. Editing commands are made up of the command and a cursor move. The cursor moves are always the same:
So, in order to use vim you have to learn to move the cursor and remember a repertoire of commands like, for example, > to indent (and < to "outdent").
If, instead of typing >H, you type dH then you are deleting the same block of lines, cH for replacing it, etc.
Some cursor movements fit better with specific commands. In particular, the % command is handy to indent a whole HTML or XML block.
This is how vim works: one has to remember only the cursor movements and the commands, and how to mix them.
do this
and add this line
this is only for cpp file you can do this for another file type also just by modifying the filetype...
A quick way to do this using
This is useful if you would prefer not to change your
Suppose you use 2 spaces to indent your code. Type:
You get the idea.
(Empty lines will not get indented, which I think is kind of nice.)
I found the answer in the (g)vim documentation for indenting blocks:
I like to mark text for indentation:
PS: you can use :'a,'z technique to mark a range for any operation (d,y,s///, etc) where you might use lines, numbers, or %
For me, the MacVim (Visual) solution was, select with mouse and press ">", but after putting the following lines in "~/.vimrc" since I like spaces instead of tabs:
Also it's useful to be able to call MacVim from the command-line (Terminal.app), so since I have the following helper directory "~/bin", where I place a script called "macvim":
And of course in "~/.bashrc":
Macports messes with "~/.profile" a lot, so the PATH environment variable can get quite long.
I dont know why its so difficult to find a simple answer like this one...
I myself had to struggle a lot to know this its its very simple
edit your
in you file where you want to indent properly
in normal/command mode type
There is one more way that hasn't been mentioned yet - you can use
Remember that there has to be space character at the end of the command - this will be the character we want to have inserted. We can also indent line with any other text, for example to indent every line in file with 5 underscore characters:
Or something even more fancy:
More practical example is commenting Bash/Python/etc code with # character:
To re-indent use x instead of i. For example to remove first 5 characters from every line:
Using Python a lot, I find myself needing frequently needing to shift blocks by more than one indent. You can do this by using any of the block selection methods, and then just enter the number of indents you wish to jump right before the
I didn't find a method I use in the comments, so I'll share it (I think vim only):
This is useful when you don't want to change ident/tab settings in vimrc or to remember them to change it while editing.
To unindent I use the same ctrl-v block select to select spaces and delete it with d.
How to indent highlighted code in vi immediately by a # of spaces:
Option 1: Indent a block of code in vi to three spaces with Visual Block mode:
Option 2: Indent a block of code in vi to three spaces with Visual Line mode:
Option 3: use Visual Block mode and special insert mode to increase indent:
Increase the '>' symbol for more tabs
This works in
To indent all file by 4:
to indent everyline in a file type esc then G=gg

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Mar 01st, 1999
Running Time: 108
Director: Rectal Mike
Company: All Good Video
Cast: Teri Starr, John (I), Regan Starr, Alec Metro, Barrett Moore, Vanessa (VII), Julie Meadows, Alyssa Allure, Mark Anthony (I), John West, Guy DeSilva
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
The attractive box cover is hotter than some of the tape itself and will probably translate into movement all by its lonesome. But the histrionic claim that \"every girl in this video takes it in the ass\" is arguably misleading.
This five-scene all rump-humping tape starts off promisingly enough, but then begins to occasionally lose steam before uh, crapping out completely in the end. It's as if director Rectal Mike couldn't keep it up, so to speak, all the way through.
The aforementioned opener is the most energetic of the lot, thanks to the loud, twitchin' manner in which cutie Barret Moore takes Alec Metro up her heinie.
The intensity level dips in the next sequence, but shoots right back up in scene three, due to Teri Starr's spirited performance, fielding John West and setting his goo all over her mug.
Scene four comes close but never quite reaches a full boil as Mark Anthony fucks Vanessa's bum with an assist from Regan Starr. But it absolutely scorches compared to the closer, a tired and entirely disposable Alyssa Allure/Guy DiSilva coupling.
Anal enthusiasts can certainly do worse, but they can just as certainly find more consistently inspired rectal reaming fare.

The World Bank and leading donors have emphasized the importance of evidence-based policy making in addressing entrenched poverty. Adoption of Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers has also required establishing and updating poverty baselines, typically through Living Standards Measurement Surveys. Although the conceptual basis of these surveys has been questioned, little attention has been paid to whether frequent revisions to the longitudinal record have undermined their value. This article argues that changes to the poverty record have been sufficiently frequent and often sufficiently large to compromise the creation of a sound longitudinal poverty record. The lack of transparency also weakens national debate and ownership and undermines the construction of evidence-based policy.

There were fewer monarch butterflies found during an annual event aimed at tracking their migration through Kansas.
Chip Taylor, director of the Kansas University-based Monarch Watch conservation group, told The Lawrence Journal World that this summer's drought meant a much smaller population of monarchs at the event Saturday at the Baker Wetlands.
Monarch Watch organizes the tagging to track migration through the U.S. and into Mexico for the winter. This is the group's 21st year of tagging, and it's been inviting the public to take part.
Taylor says this year's was the smallest he'd seen the monarch population in northeast Kansas. Consistently dry conditions led to fewer flowering plants and milkweed, which the butterflies need to survive.
Taylor says, however, the normally lesser northeast coast population is doing well.

AbstractCarburization of steel alloys is a common practice used to increase the longevity of gear interfaces. By increasing the amount of carbon present in the near surface region of the steel, the hardness of the outer region of the material can be increased while maintaining ductility and toughness within the core of the part. Multiple processes exist for carburizing steel components with gas carburization and vacuum carburization being the most common. Both processes rely on gas circulation to carry carbon to the surface of the work piece. In parts with complex geometry, such as gear teeth or cavities, gas circulation may be restricted which limits the amount of carbon that can be transferred to the workpiece. Therefore, an innovative carburization process is sought that can provide uniform carbon coverage and case hardening depth for parts with complex geometries, such as internal spline gears. In response to Navy SBIR solicitation N102-142, United Protective Technologies, LLC (UPT) proposes the use of a modified plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition technique to provide uniform case hardening depth to parts with complex geometry.

SALT LAKE CITY (December 20, 2012)--A woman died while trying to walk for help after her car got stuck during the snow storm in southwestern Utah, authorities said.
Washington County Sheriff's detective Nate Abbott said the woman and a man were driving in rural Washington County when their car got stuck Tuesday night during the storm that hit the Rocky Mountain region.
He said the pair started walking for help, but the woman couldn't go any farther and sought shelter while the man continued on.
He eventually took refuge close to a reservoir and stayed there until morning when he located some snowmobilers.
Search and rescue crews who used snowmobiles to look for the woman found her dead in the snow, a few miles from the car.
An autopsy was ordered.
The woman's name wasn't immediately released.

Halle Berry pics in designer jeans
Halle Berry in PRPS
Halle Berry took her little daughter Nahla to the local park in LA. Nahla is absolutely adorable, I love that face she's making! Halle and Nahla met up with some friends at the park for play time! Halle always looks like such a hands on mother!
The mother-daughter duo wore matching jeans and white tees. Halle's jeans are a PRPS boyfriend style jean. Halle's been seen wearing these light wash jeans quite a few times. They look like the perfect jeans for a busy mom, they can be worn casually to wear to the park or dressed up with a pretty blouse and heels. Please click this blog post to view more images.
Halle Berry in MET
Halle Berry treated her little girl Nahla to a delicious lunch wearing her MET jeans again. Does Halle ever look bad? Seriously I think Halle is one of the most gorgeous women EVER and she is time tested! Her and her little girl hit up the Barefoot Caf├® for their lunch.
Halle and baby daddy Gabriel have maintained civility since they broke up, and will be spending the next several months together as Mr. Aubry travels to South Africa with Halle while she films a new movie. How perfect could life REALLY be for Halle? You get your cake and eat it too! How many women can say that their ex will help them out with the kids while they work, I mean really… Kudos to Gabriel for it all!
Halle Berry in Wildfox Denim
Halle Berry was seen arriving at a family service center in Los Angeles, California over the weekend. She was wearing her Wildfox Denim skinny jeans in Dark Rip that we saw her wearing last time. I think Halle always looks great, she looks so effortlessly hot everytime I see her out. Buy these jeans at Singer22 for $182 and buy these jeans at Boutique to You for $182.

Halle Berry in Rockstar Cargo Pants
Halle Berry got snapped out with a few friends at the Discount Tile Center in Los Angeles, California yesterday (23). She was wearing a pair of Rockstar beige cargo pants with flip flops and a tee for the shopping trip. Halle is really branching out in what she wears now, she picks jeans that are not so popular and she opts for styles different to what is hot. She sets her own fashion statement! Buy these pants at Shopkitson.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Given that Monkeybrain Comics just celebrated its second anniversary, on the heels of Co-Publisher Allison Baker joining IDW, it struck me as the ideal time to quiz Co-Publisher Chris Roberson.
In addition to discussing the new status quo for Monkeybrain (which surprisingly stays much the same as before, as Roberson explains), we also delve into Edison Rex – Issue 16 arrives Wednesday — and dig into the writer's first work for Dark Horse, Aliens: Fire and Stone, which debuts Sept. 24.
Writer/artist Jimmie Robinson has been creating and publishing his stories through Image Comics for almost 20 years. Let that just soak in for a moment. Wednesday marks the resumption of Five Weapons, his now-ongoing series set in a high school for assassins, which launched as a five-issue miniseries, but it performed so well that Jim Valentino's Image imprint Shadowline offered to make it a monthly.
In addition to discussing the transition from miniseries to ongoing with this week's Issue 6, Robinson agreed to discuss the recent Image Expo and his larger industry realization that the loss of Dwayne McDuffie left a hole that has yet to be filled. He also addresses his intentions to return to the Bomb Queen universe as well as whether he would ever write for Marvel (in particular Rocket Racer) or DC (think Chase).
As part of the Five Weapons coverage, Robinson shared several upcoming covers, plus one in-process page from Five Weapons #7. Be sure to answer the question that Robinson poses at the end of this interview in the comments section.
Monkeybrain Comics announced and released five new titles last month at Comic-Con International, including Phil Hester and Tyler Walpole's Dropout. Hester and Walpole couldn't be at the convention, but were willing to talk with me not only about the new series, but their collaboration in general, including a personal favorite of mine: their 2005 canceled-too-soon series Stronghold.
Dropout is available for purchase from Monkeybrain through comiXology. Tim O'Shea recently reviewed it for Robot 6.
Michael May: You guys worked together before on Stronghold. How did you meet and what drew you toward wanting to work together?
Tyler Walpole: Phil and I are both from Iowa and when I was in high school he was one of the only professional comic book artists I had met in person (at a little comic book show at a local mall). I always liked him as an artist, but when I read his comic, The Coffin, I was blown away with his writing! So when he expressed interest in working with me, I jumped at the chance.
Phil Hester: I met Tyler when he was just a kid, and I mean really just a kid. He and Andy Brase were kicking around the Iowa comics scene as teens and I could tell both guys were going to go places. I guess I've always been looking for something to work on with Tyler and when Stronghold popped up, I knew he'd be right for it.
Graphic novel sales | The top-selling graphic novel in bookstores last month was the 18th volume of The Walking Dead, according to BookScan, followed by Naruto, Vol. 61, Saga, Vol. 2, Sailor Moon, Vol. 11, and perennial bestseller The Walking Dead Compendium, Vol. 1. It was a good month for manga, which took 10 of the Top 20 slots; not so much for DC, which had just one book in the Top 20, and Marvel, which had none. [ICv2]
Comics sales | Comic and graphic novel sales were up in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the same period last year, but ICv2 termed it a "solid but unspectacular" quarter compared to a "torrid" Q1. Anemic sales in June were partly to blame — comics sales were up, graphic novel sales were down. [ICv2]
Happy Mother's Day and welcome to What Are You Reading?, our weekly look at the comics, books and what have you we've been checking out lately. Joining us today is Allison Baker, co-publisher of Bandette, Edison Rex and all the other Monkeybrain Comics you can find on comiXology.
To see what Allison and the Robot 6 crew have been reading, click below.
Several weeks ago when I interviewed Edison Rex co-creator Chris Roberson, we had hoped to include co-creator Dennis Culver in the discussion. Schedules didn't work out at the time, but happily, on the eve of the deadline to pre-order the Edison Rex trade paperback (Diamond Code APR130377), Culver's schedule freed up for an interview about his co-creation.
As if collecting the Edison Rex issues 1-6 isn't enough to interest you in this IDW Publishing release, Roberson and Culver have scored an introduction by the great Kurt Busiek. The collection will hit shelves June 12.
Tim O'Shea: How did the IDW publishing deal come together?
Dennis Culver: That was all [Monkeybrain Comics co-publishers] Chris [Roberson] and Allison [Baker]. From what I understand, IDW had expressed an interest in print collections fairly early in the Monkeybrain launch, and I was on board as soon as I heard. They gave us a fair deal and they put out great looking books. I'm very happy to publish Rex through them!
At least a couple of times over the course of the weekend, Bill Willingham talked about his goal for the Fabletown and Beyond convention he hosted in Rochester, Minnesota. He may not have actually used the term "bucket list," but that's essentially what the show seems to have been for him: an opportunity to throw the kind of comics convention he wanted to attend and to see if other creators and fans would enjoy it just as much. From the standing ovation he received at Sunday's closing ceremony, it appears he was right.
Chris Roberson pointed out to me that Fabletown and Beyond was a lot like fantasy and sci-fi literary conventions. It had that feel from the opening ceremony (an idea Willingham freely admits to stealing from fantasy/sci-fi shows) to the final farewell. It was completely focused on comics and storytelling, and it was a uniquely intimate experience. The show was only designed to accommodate a maximum of 500 attendees, and it got 505. That meant I kept seeing the same faces over and over again all weekend — creators and fans alike — so that by the third day, even people I never talked to were familiar. Instead of a hectic event where people rushed from place to place trying to see and do everything they wanted to, it was a relaxed environment that felt more like just hanging out with friends. Really smart, interesting friends.

Last week was a banner one for Monkeybrain Comics, as plans were revealed to "bring its digital titles to print beginning in June in collected editions released through IDW Publishing and Shadowline/Image." But before this deal was announced I caught up with Chris Roberson, the writer of Edison Rex and co-publisher of Monkeybrain.
This interview was conducted before the IDW and Shadowline/Image agreements were announced, which is why they're not discussed. Edison Rex #6 will be released March 13. Roberson is great to chat with about the creative process, as he relishes revealing how the narrative hot dogs are made almost as much as creating the stories themselves. The world that Roberson and co-creator/artist Dennis Culver had built for the series fascinates me, and it was a pleasure to chat with the writer about it.
Tim O'Shea: As much as this series is about a villain becoming a hero, there's a great undercurrent of humor. Is that the core appeal of the series from a creative standpoint?
Chris Roberson: I always like a little levity in the stories I read or the shows I watch. When stories maintain a consistently grim tone, it can be a little wearying. Adding in a joke here and there not only serves to lighten the mood from time to time, but also makes the more serious moments stand out by contrast.
My brain always shifts toward musical thoughts whenever possible. So when I learned Curt Pires was writing a story called Theremin, I assumed he meant the musical instrument. As I found out quite quickly in this interview, Pires' new collaboration with artist Dalton Rose is focused on the inventor of the instrument, Léon Theremin. The series is slated to launch digitally from Monkeybrain Comics in March.
Robot 6: When we last spoke in September, you said your game plan for Theremin was that you intended to self-distribute it. How did it land at Monkeybrain?
Curt Pires: Initially my game plan was to self-distribute Theremin, correct. Well, It really developed out of talking with Dalton, discussing our plans for the book. We decided that we should sample the book to potential publishers, at least put feelers out there – see what the interest was in the book. We sent the first six pages and plot info over to Chris Roberson and Allison Baker at Monkeybrain, and they liked what they saw enough to invite us aboard to tell our story there. We could not be happier to be telling this story with them.
It's become an annual tradition here during our birthday bash: No matter how much stuff we line up, people we interview, etc., there are still tons of folks we like to hear from and include in our giant New Year's/anniversary/birthday activities. So, as we've done in past years, we asked a cross-section of comics folks what they liked in 2012 and what they're excited about for 2013. We received so many this year that we've broken it down into two posts; watch for another one Tuesday.
But for now, check out all the great stuff people shared with us, including hints at new projects and even some outright announcements. Our thanks to everyone this year who responded. Also, thanks to Tim O'Shea, Michael May and Chris Arrant, who helped collect responses.
JIMMIE ROBINSON (Bomb Queen, Five Weapons)
What was your favorite comic of 2012?
Image's Saga, Fatale, Hawkeye's reinvention is fresh and exciting, Peter Panzerfaust, Enormous by Tim Daniel. It's hard to pin down just one because there is SO much good work coming out nowadays — from many publishers across the board.
Conventions | Japan's Comic Market (aka Comiket), the world's largest convention dedicated to self-published comics, stands to lose about $117,900 because of a decision to bar artist groups ("circles") dedicated to the manga Kuroko's Basketball following a threat letter. Organizers are refunding entrance fees to about 900 Kuroko's Basketball circles that registered for the Dec. 29-31 event, and must help pay for increased security in cooperation with local police and the Tokyo Big Sight complex. Since October, letters containing powdered and liquid substances have been sent to more than 20 locations linked to Kuroko's Basketball creator Tadatoshi Fujimaki. At least six Kuroko's Basketball doujinshi events have been canceled. [Anime News Network]
One of the clearcut hits from the first wave of Monkeybrain Comics digital line is Paul Tobin and Colleen Coover's Bandette, a great mixture of Tintin and Nancy Drew-type adventure. Today marks the release of Issue 2 — for the great price of 99 cents — where (as you can see by the preview CBR ran yesterday) Bandette foils a bank robbery in her own unique way.
To help get people as riled as I am for today's release, I recently barraged Coover and Tobin with a series of questions. As a longtime fan of Tobin's run on Marvel Adventures: Spider-Man, it pleased me immensely that Tobin is building somewhat upon the Blonde Phantom/Chat substories/genre he explored in the former series. I also appreciate a turn of phrase that Tobin used ("zest for life") in discussing the new digital collaboration with Coover. I think zest for life is a quality that fuels Coover's art.
In addition to the digital Issue 2 coming out today, on Saturday Coover will be at the Jet City Comic Show in Seattle. My thanks to Coover and Tobin for their time.
Since the first time I hung out with Monkeybrain Books founders Allison Baker and Chris Roberson at the Westin hotel bar during HeroesCon a few years back, I have longed to do a joint interview with them. While their publishing house Monkeybrain Books has been in existence since 2001, in July Baker and Roberson launched a creator-owned comiXology-distributed digital imprint, Monkeybrain Comics. While much is known of Roberson, not everyone knows Baker's background. As detailed at their company website: "Allison Baker has worked in feature film and political media production for more than 13 years, while also managing the day-to-day operations of Chris Roberson and Monkeybrain Books." Please allow me to apologize in advance for not quizzing Roberson about my new favorite Monkeybrain work of his, Edison Rex. Update: After I finished posting this article, Monkeybrain announced that tomorrow (August 14) would mark the release of a 99-cent autobiographical story by Kurt Busiek, Thoughts on A Winter Morning, drawn by Steve Lieber (a story which was originally appeared in Negative Burn: Winter 2005).
Tim O'Shea: Which came first, the decision to move to Portland or the decision to move Monkeybrain into the digital realm?
Allison Baker: The move to PDX was definitely decided first. Monkeybrain Comics started out as an idea and theory, trying to solve a lot of the problems creators run into when working within a traditional publishing model. The final piece of the puzzle came to us at the end of last year. After that we started actively putting it all together in the beginning of 2012.
Chris Roberson: Yeah, we'd been planning our move to Portland for well over a year, and talking about it for a year or two before that. The germ of the idea that would eventually become Monkeybrain Comics was planted around the same time, but didn't take its final form as a digital comics imprint until the end of last year.
This week I catch up with Amelia Cole and the Unknown World co-writers D.J. Kirkbride and Adam P. Knave, who were part of the first round of Monkeybrain Comics creative releases on July 2. With Issue 2 poised to launch Aug. 7, it struck me as a good time to interview Kirkbride and Knave. Here's the official nutshell description of the series: "Amelia Cole lives in two worlds — literally. One runs on magic, the other built on technology. When the barriers between those worlds start to break down, Amelia and her aunt Dani must take extreme action." Before you read the interview, I must stress there is some spoiler info connected to Dani in this interview, so please do not read the interview if you have yet to pick up the first issue. My thanks to the co-writers for their time.
Tim O'Shea: Whom approached who, did the Amelia Cole team seek out Monkeybrain or vice versa?
Adam P. Knave: We've known [Monkeybrain Comics'] Chris [Roberson] and Allison [Baker] for a while now and so we kept in touch, you know, the way people do. So when we started Amelia Cole (originally we were thinking of doing it as a web comic) we sent them the first issue just to kind of go "Hey, this is what we're working on." no higher purpose, just friends sharing creative endeavors with friends.
D.J. Kirkbride: Yeah, Chris and Allison are good peoples, and we were curious as to what they thought of our book. We're fans of Chris's writing, too, so we were a little nervous. Well, I was. Adam's nerves, like his beard, are made of steel.
Knave: And then one day we got an email explaining the whole Monkeybrain thing and asking if we were interested. So Amelia herself sought them out, except none of us knew it at the time.
Kirkbride: Ooh, that sounds magical.

Iran Rejects SoS Hillary Clinton's 'Military Dictatorship' Charge
In a reaction unlikely to surprise anyone, Iran rejected Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's assertion that it is transforming into a military dictatorship because of the growing influence of the Revolutionary Guard
And in the kind of tit-for-tat name-calling typically found on playgrounds, Iran sought to deflect the charge back onto its accuser, at least according to Reuters.
Reuters reported the following based on its reading of a report by Iran's ISNA news agency:
"They themselves are involved in a sort of military dictatorship and have practically ignored the realities and the truths in the region," Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said,
according to ISNA news agency.
Reuters may be picking up something in the original Persian version of the ISNA report. I didn't see this accusation of the U.S. itself being a kind of military dictatorship in the English translation of a report about Mottaki's reaction to Clinton.
Here's an excerpt of a report in English on the ISNA website:
TEHRAN (ISNA)-Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki criticized the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's remarks on Iran's civil situation.
The US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has claimed that Iran is moving towards a "military dictatorship."
The US has taken a wrong approach for finding solutions on Middle Eastern issues and it is continuing its wrong approaches, Mottaki said adding the US has ignored regional realities and it is fueling tension and insecurity in the region.
Also regarding Iran's stance on Clinton's remarks Mottaki said, "we are sorry that Mrs. Clinton is trying to cover the truth behind her stance and the US stance under a series of unreal words and rhetoric and move region's public opinion towards wrong issues."
"We regard these methods as a new fraud, although its nature is manifest to aware people and regional governments."
He also pointed out to the US government's successive failures in the region and said, "unfortunately, the failed approaches followed by the US officials on Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Afghanistan and the US economic downturn have forced them to show another image of their deceiving policies through creating foreign crisis in the form of soft war against independent and democratic countries."

adoop has enabled a new scale of data processing that is paving the way for data driven businesses. However, business data is often riddled with compliance and regulatory requirements that can be easily lost as data is manipulated, transformed, and re-written within the Hadoop eco-system. Furthermore, enterprise data is often scattered across a wide array of systems, each with their own techniques for policy management. As data from these disparate systems is loaded into Hadoop, all of the carefully crafted policy is immediately lost, creating a potential risk for the business. Data provenance is widely recognized as a technique for applying policy in more traditional industries such as storage, databases and high-performance computing. By tracking data from its origin and across various transformations and computations, provenance tracking systems can answer questions such as: Who has seen a given piece of data? Where did this data come from? What policies existed on this data? In this talk, we will discuss traditional data management solutions, the challenges of bringing them to an eco-system like Hadoop, and approaches to enable data management in the growing Big Data world.

East Lyme - The developers of Gateway Commons, a project years in the making that includes retail space, residential rental units and highway-safety upgrades, are asking the Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments to help with a "road map" to move forward.
Five years ago, the town of East Lyme had approved a master development plan for KGI Properties and Simon Konover Development to build a 200-acre complex near Flanders Road and Society Road.
Gateway Development District did not only have retail and residential components, but also called for the reconfiguration of the Interstate - 95 Exit 74 ramps and safety improvements along Route 161.
The poor economy stalled the project for years, but the project's developer is encouraged that recent signs of a strengthening economy could help the development's progress.
Newton Brainard of Simon Konover said he sees signs of an "awakening" in the economy, especially in the residential market.
"As those signs continue we will continue to do our due diligence on when the best time would be to move forward on them," he said.
In 2011, SCCOG gave the project its highest recommendation for funding from the Department of Transportation's STP-Urban program to improve the on and off ramps. Brainard is continuing to try to find clients for the development, which he called a "public-private partnership," and would like to use funds allocated to the department of transportation with the council of governments to improve the on and off ramps. In a letter to SCCOG last month, the developers asked to revisit the project with SCCOG, the department of transportation and East Lyme.
"In order for the developer to go forward with their commitment of funding for the design, approvals and construction, a better understanding/commitment is needed on the STP-U funding opportunity," Fred Greenberg, director of traffic services for BL Companies, wrote in the letter to James S. Butler, executive director of SCCOG.
The town of East Lyme has been in support of the project for years. Gateway offers development on one of the largest remaining pieces of commercial property, opportunities to increase the tax base, as well as highway and road safety improvements for motor-vehicle drivers, said First Selectman Paul Formica, who also was elected SCCOG Chairman in December.
Reconfiguring the exits would prevent sharp turns and allow drivers to have "more of a running start to get on the highway," said Formica.
The highway safety improvements mirror those the state Department of Transportation recommended in its I-95 Corridor Feasibility Study. The project would bring significant safety and transportation advantages for the region, he explained.

Woman pulled from burning carSeptember 04,2013POWNAL — A New York woman was pulled from her crashed car before fire could trap her inside Tuesday, police said.
Heather Partridge, 33, of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., was driving a 2004 Honda Civic south on Route 7, just north of Jackson Cross Road, around 6:30 a.m. when the car drifted off the west side of the road and rolled onto its side, according to Vermont State Police.
Witness Michael Andrews of Southbury, Conn., told police the car started to smoke and caught fire. Andrews, along with James Belanger of North Adams, Mass., Bruce Cooper, of Florida, Mass., and Timothy Criss, of Shaftsbury helped Partridge get out of the car before the fire engulfed it.
Partridge was taken to Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington by the Bennington Rescue Squad. The extent of Partridge's injuries are unknown at this time.
