Obama has momentum on his side
Published: Sunday, December 26, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 24, 2010 at 1:28 p.m.
Riding the lamest of ducks, President Barack Obama just won the triple crown. He fulfilled (1) his most important economic priority, passage of Stimulus II, aka the tax-cut deal; (2) his most important social policy objective, the repeal of Dont ask, dont tell; and (3) his most cherished (achievable) foreign policy goal, ratification of the New START treaty with Russia.
Politically, these are all synergistic. The bipartisan nature of the tax deal instantly repositioned Obama back to the center. And just when conventional wisdom decided the deal had caused irreparable alienation from his liberal base, Obama almost immediately won it back by delivering one of the gay rights movements most elusive and coveted breakthroughs. The symbolism of the dont ask, dont tell repeal cannot be underestimated.
Then came START, which was important for Obama not just because of the dearth of foreign policy achievements in these past two years but because treaties, especially grand-sounding treaties on strategic arms, carry the aura of presidential authority and diplomatic mastery.
No matter how useless they are, or even how damaging. New START was significantly, if subtly, damaging, which made the rear-guard Republican opposition it engendered so salutary. The debate it sparked garnered the treaty more attention than it would have otherwise and thus gave Obama a larger PR victory. But that debate also amplified the major flaw in the treaty the gratuitous re-establishment of the link between offensive and defensive weaponry.
One of the great achievements of the past decade was the Bush administrations severing of that link first, by its withdrawal from the ABM Treaty, which had expressly prevented major advances in missile defense, and then with the 2002 Treaty of Moscow, which regulated offensive weapons but ostentatiously contained not a single word about any connection to missile defense.
Why is this important? Because missile defense is essential for protecting ourselves from the most menacing threat of the coming century nuclear hyper-proliferation.
The relinking that we acquiesced to in the preamble to New START is a major reversal of that achievement. Sure, Obama sought to reassure critics with his letter to the Senate promising unimpeded development of our European missile defense system. But the Russians have already watched this president cancel our painstakingly planned Polish and Czech missile defenses in response to Russian protests and threats. Thats why they insisted we formally acknowledge an interrelationship between offense and defense. They know that their threat to withdraw from START, if the U.S. were to build defenses that displease them, will inevitably color and restrain future U.S. missile defense advances and deployments.
The difficulty Obama had overcoming the missile defense objection will serve to temper the rest of his nuclear agenda and place Obamas ultimate goal of total nuclear disarmament blessedly out of reach. Conservatives can thus take solace that their vigorous opposition to START will likely prevent further disarmament mischief. But what they cannot deny is the political boost the treatys ratification gives Obama today, a mere seven weeks after his Election Day debacle.
The great liberal ascendancy of 2008, destined to last 40 years (predicted James Carville), lasted fewer than two. Yet the great Republican ascendancy of 2010 lasted fewer than two months. Republicans will enter the 112th Congress with larger numbers but no longer with the wind the overwhelming Nov. 2 repudiation of Obamas social-democratic agenda at their backs.

I have a WordPress client who's currently on Version 2.9.
He is using a theme that is about three years old, very highly customized and altered. It's based on Kubrik. The person who developed it is no longer available, and I find some of the modifications to be almost impenetrable--cannot get my head wrapped around several of them.
It is way, way past time to upgrade this blog to 3.0. Security problems abound, and they're a mess to keep up with. Key plug-ins are also becoming outdated.
My question: How compatible is the old Kubrik with the brand-new WordPress? If I break this theme, I own both halves, and I'd rather minimize the risk.
Any observations, suggestions, words of wisdom, or expressions of "you poor thing" will be enormously appreciated!

50 million dollar S3 filed on the eighteenth. dilution coming. yes it will build the company. but... SHORTS will run to this stock like sharks... and the price will plummet.
Sentiment: Sell
What is a S3 and what does that mean to stock holder
S3 is SEC filing for secondary offering. If you only look at increase of outstanding shares, yes, it is dilutive of earnings. But this is way too simple and people buying the $50M shares are not stupid. The successful sales of secondary offering usually means the mgmt convinces investors the proceeds will be used for business growth which will result in revenue and earning increases. Unless you have a case for growing business, you are not able to sell the shares.
Yng thanks for the info.... when will it be announced?
PS: what do you mean with "50 M $"? market cap is 31M
Really, I don't see this anywhere, where's your source? If you click on the "SEC Filings" link for HPJ their last filing was in November and the one your talking about is nowhere to be found
Sentiment: Strong Buy

Spend most Saturday nights in trivial pursuit? Sinking battleships? Connecting four?
Well, head on over to Union Hall on July 27 to test your smarts, and try your luck, at the Board Game Olympics.
Brought to you by Metro Metro, the guys behind a yearly scavenger hunt in Manhattan and who live by the motto "Playing is better than working," the Olympics pits teams of four against each other in such classic games as Trivial Pursuit, Connect Four, and Jenga, with the final two duking it out in Operation for the bragging rights and some prizes.
Ed Herro of Metro Metro, a personal fan of Jenga and the "really dorky" Pirate's Cove board game, came up with the idea of a Board Game Olympics. After two wildly successful nights in November and last month at Union Hall, the third event comes to Park Slope venue.
"Because of the nature of board games, you have to meet each other and have to talk," said Herro. "It's not only a competitive event, it's a very social event. That's what we strive for with all our events."
For for those with less of a competitive streak, there will also be plenty of extra games provided on the sidelines. Those who do win can look forward to cheapo prizes like giant candy bars and, more important, glory.
"It's a lot of fun at any level of competitiveness," said Herro. "Even if you don't want to compete, you can hang out and get to know us. If you have an idea, you can come and talk to us."
The next idea Metro Metro has is a Kubb tournament, a Swedish lawn game where players knock over wooden blocks by throwing wooden sticks at them, in Prospect Park next month.
"We're giving it to Brooklyn more and more," said Herro.
The Board Game Olympics are July 27 at Union Hall (702 Union Street) from 7-11 p.m. Sign up is available for up to 10 teams of 4, so sign up now. Registration is $30 per team. For more information and to sign up, go to www.metrom

Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
Fan & Deseret News staff predictions: How will 2014 unfold for BYU, Utah and Utah State?
With the start of the 2014 collegiate football campaign just around the corner, there are some critical questions surrounding each of the state's "Big Five" programs.
Can BYU's dynamic quarterback, Taysom Hill, continue to make strides in the passing game which, combined with his incredible running ability, will make him an even more dangerous double-threat for opposing defenses to try to contain?
And can Hill and his strong supporting cast play up to the great expectations being placed upon the program and cruise to a glorious 10- or 11-win season that Cougar fans are craving?
Can University of Utah quarterback Travis Wilson come back strong from some frightening health issues that threatened to end his career last year?
And can he and the Utes find a way to win at least six games and get to a bowl game this season, thus keeping head coach Kyle Whittingham's job safe and secure for another year?
Can Utah State quarterback Chuckie Keeton return from last year's season-ending knee injury and ignite the Aggies' offense to a fourth straight winning season and third consecutive bowl triumph?
Can Jay Hill take the reins of a stumbling Weber State program, which has won just four games combined over the past two years, and get the Wildcats back on the road toward respectability?
And can Southern Utah University head coach Ed Lamb come up with an encore performance and keep the Thunderbirds, who earned their first FCS playoff berth last season, soaring to new heights?
Yes, there's a lot of intrigue as we enter the 2014 season, which gets underway Thursday when the Utes take on Big Sky Conference patsy Idaho State.
So let's take a look into our crystal football and, at the risk of likely looking very stupid four months from now — yep, been there and done that many times before — predict what will transpire for each "Big Five" team this year:
BYU — Unfortunately, you won't find in-state arch-rival Utah on the Cougars' schedule this season. But you will still find some quality opponents like Utah State, Texas and Boise State, as well as Connecticut, Houston, Virginia, Nevada and California — decent "name" opponents, which means their names are decent, even if their football programs aren't always.
Sure, some of them are solid teams that will provide competitive opposition, even if none of them are exactly world-beaters these days.
You'll also find a no-name school (Savannah "Smiles" State) and a couple other teams (Central Florida, Middle Tennessee, UNLV) who aren't going to strike fear in the hearts of anyone.
What you won't find on BYU's schedule is anybody who the Cougars would look at and say: "We can't beat these guys."
That's why it's conceivable they could pile up 10, 11 or — if everything falls BYU's way — even 12 wins this season.
It probably won't happen, though, because those magical seasons just don't come around very often, and the Cougars could stumble against Utah State, Texas, Boise State or one of those other "name" opponents.
And even if they did run the table, BYU's schedule has enough cupcake opponents to prevent the Cougars from being one of the four teams invited to play for the national championship.
Prediction: 10-2.
Utah — Back-to-back 5-7 seasons with no bowl berth doesn't cut it for this proud program, and Whittingham and the Utes know it.

text: I've never played any silent hill before downpour and heard a lot of people rave about how Silent Hill 2 is not just good, it's the game they play every now and again to remind themselves that gaming is still worth defending. So is it better played on PS2 or the HD collection? I've been eagerly awaiting the HD release but a couple reviews are saying there's a lot of glitches, frame rates taking a dive, and removed the signature fog effect, downplaying important scenes, etc. but others didn't mention that and gave it a good score. I'm not sure who to believe here.

I recently noticed an unusual behavior: When I press alt-` (that's the backtick), my Chrome windows seem to minimize (or restore, if pressed a second time). This happens regardless of which program I'm currently using -- so if I open Word and press alt-`, I can see Chrome appearing or disappearing in the background. I'm using Windows 7.
Is this a documented behavior? What is actually happening?
Update: I just found this bug report which documents the behavior, but I'm still curious whether anyone knows of possible uses for the "feature."

In her study of L. M. Montgomery (1874-1942) in the "Extraordinary Canadians" series, Canadian author Jane Urquhart invokes comparisons of L. M. Montgomery's life and work to that of her near-contemporary American peers, Edith Wharton (1862-1937), Willa Cather (1873-1947), and Mary Wilkins Freeman (1852-1930), among others. While the transatlantic connection among women writers is receiving increasing critical attention, the literary relationships among American and Canadian women writers offer a relatively recent area for scholarly explorations of the influences and alignments crossing North America.
Guest edited by Jonathan Wright and Susan Flynn (London College of Communication, University of the Arts, London)
Our increased attention with new forms of citizenship, changing social landscapes and emergent sets of social relations suggest that Cultural Studies and its analyses of cultural products must rapidly evolve in order to stay relevant. Our visions of the future seem to be replete with fears of new social realities; new media technologies call us to question privacy, location, marginality, the ability to relate meaningfully with others, and the unequal distribution of material wealth. Are Cultural Studies equipped to deal with the theorization of these new realities?

Abstract submission deadline Sept 15
The second half of the nineteenth century was marked by the emergence of the global women's movement. Feminist writer Sarah Grand (1854-1943) is considered to be the first to have coined the term "New Woman" in 1894 in England. New Woman writers (in Victorian literature the New Woman novel forms a separate genre) participated in the feminist debate. Feminism altered the course of literature by challenging those literary conventions that governed the portrayal of women and women's experience at the fin de siècle. Feminist texts explicitly advocated social change and discussed new women's roles in society.

It's a term of derision among many, but Martyball -- the style of offense run by San Diego's Marty Schottenheimer -- resulted in LaDainian Tomlinson having the best DPAR game of any running back this season. How did the Chargers do it, and what are their future prospects? We explore those issues in this week's installment of Every Play Counts.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool Rex Grossman twice, and the Chicago Bears will feel the shame. For the second time this season, Grossman crumbled in the face of a strong pass rush. But this time, the Bears were playing a team that actually could run the ball and seal the deal, thanks to a very talented young back and an important change on the offensive line.

A French release that, obviously, features the fanny prominently, but it's damn near the bottom in terms of production.
The video is dubbed, as if changing the ouis to yeses make it a better wall-to-waller -- it doesn't and makes it the video's quality that much worse.
The second scene's g/b/g has a fair amount of heat, but the dubbing and poor production values drag it down, and in the case of the third scene, it seems that the voice talent had more fun than the talent on video.

Pigeon Forge dinner shows are a great way to spend an evening out on the town. Because there are so many things to do in Pigeon Forge, dinner shows allow you to fit both entertainment and dinner into one time slot. With several options in the area, we have highlighted a few of the best to help you choose the one for you. Our rankings take the quality of food, the entertainment value of the show and the best show for families with children into consideration when determining the top 5 favorites.
1. Dixie Stampede Pigeon Forge Dinner Show
Dixie Stampede Pigeon Forge is the most well-known of all Pigeon Forge dinner shows, making it our top pick for people of all ages. To make it even better, there have been new renovations made to Dixie Stampede! It is owned by the famous Dolly Parton, who has inspired a lot of the area's venues for entertainment. Considering its finger-licking good food, you literally will be eating with your hands, and watching a fantastic show with trick riders on horses, you can't complain when visiting here. The theme of the show is the battle between the North and the South, like in the Civil war. The audience is divided between the two, and cheers their designated side on throughout competitions. When the show is over a winner is revealed and given friendly cheers from all. The outcome is never the same, which makes it a great show to see year after year.
Watch the video below for an inside look at Dixie Stampede Pigeon Forge Dinner Show.
2. Lumberjack Feud Dinner Show in Pigeon Forge
This dinner show in Pigeon Forge offers fast paced entertainment showcasing the skills of the muscular men and women who compete in several lumberjack-like
competitions. Because of its light-hearted comedy, it is a good choice for any age of attendees from small children to the elderly. Also, dinner is optional at the Lumberjack Feud, but that certainly doesn't mean it's worth missing. The food is as good of a reason to visit as the show. Their dinner plates feature southern style comfort foods that would be enough to satisfy even the strongest lumberjack's appetite. Not to mention Dolly Parton recently purchased the Lumberjack Feud with plans to enhance the quality and amount of entertainment that this already great and popular show has to offer. If you have already made a trip to the Lumberjack Feud Dinner Show, we encourage you to check out the new additions to the show in the seasons to come.
3. Hatfield & McCoy Pigeon Forge Dinner Show
The Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Show makes light of two families that have a history of constantly bickering between each other. While the families cannot seem to stop arguing, the audience cannot seem to stop laughing. You will also be entertained by the selection of old fashioned country music, and the performers who pick and strum songs that will guarantee to have your foot tapping. You get to experience all of this while enjoying a homemade country family style meal. The music and the family history really gives you that Smoky Mountain feel, which makes it one of the best Pigeon Forge dinner shows available.
4. Smith Family Dinner Theater in Pigeon Forge
If you want to step back and enjoy classic hits and country favorites from a few decades ago, you'll want to see the show at Smith Family Dinner Theater. While you're there, you'll just sit back and drift into yesteryears as their classic music tunes take you back in time. One perk to this theater is that it offers earlier shows, which means it's a good fit for those who want their dinner and entertainment a little earlier in the day. It is great for families and spectators who want to enjoy the music and reminisce about the good ole days.
5. Great Smoky Mountain Murder Mystery Dinner Show in Pigeon Forge
This dinner show in Pigeon Forge will keep you guessing and possibly make you part of the mystery. You will be in suspense while the plot unfolds at the Great Smoky Mountain Murder Mystery Dinner Show, all while you're enjoying a tasty dinner treat.

All Rise...
Editor's Note
Our reviews of Frozen (2010) (published September 28th, 2010), Frozen (2010) (Blu-ray) (published September 17th, 2010), and Frozen (2013) (Blu-ray) (published April 7th, 2014) are also available.
The Charge
Chilling artistic expression in China's underground.
Opening Statement
Frozen is a small, independent (and from the various things I read, somewhat guerilla) film, about the lives of a small group of avante-garde performance artists in China in the mid 1990s. Being a political performance artist is pretty tough anywhere, but in China it definitely hasn't traditionally been big with the powers that be. One of the artists, Qi Lei, has become disillusioned and depressed, and decides to make the ultimate statement.
The Evidence
Qi Lei's group dabbles in various types of expression. But they all occasionally stage elaborate public performance pieces, mostly making very oblique political statements, enough to speak to the insiders but not enough to cause serious trouble. They still do get hassled by the state periodically, which probably just assumes that anything it can't understand isn't in its best interests.
Qi Lei in particular has become depressed, both because of the suppression of their art and ability to self express, and also seemingly as just an extension of the blues that many artists bring on themselves as a roundabout means of inspiration. He seems to have gotten so much in the habit that he can't pull out of it anymore.
So he decides to make one last grand statement. At first, it's still just a performance piece, but it grows to be more. The piece will cover a year, and will have one performance per season. Each piece will be symbolic of his death. In the autumn, he does the "Earth Burial," that winter the "Water Burial," in the spring the "Fire Burial," and finally in the summer the "Ice Burial."
As the year progresses, and his depression deepens, he becomes more convinced that the Ice Burial will be real, that he will freeze himself to death to protest the suppression of artistic expression. He discusses this with his friends and family, and finally convinces them that this is the direction he wants to take. Much of the film revolves around how the people around him come to accept his decision.
The film ends, almost, with his death in the Ice Burial. I say almost, because there is more to the story after his death. I won't ruin it for you, because it's an important part of the plot. And the film at first somewhat leaves open to interpretation the reality of this trailing part of the film.
Being a very 'artsy' independent piece, Frozen has the usual long, contemplative moments in which little is said. Sparseness seems to be a standard differentiator of 'art' film and commercial film I guess, as it is in other media. The feelings are often expression via the body language and expressions of the people there, or the slow meandering of the camera and the musical score. The overall ambience is of the 'music from the hearts of space' genre, often with a quiet, spoken over narration.
Frozen though is not without humor, so I don't want to present it as any kind of oppressively high art type of piece. In particular, when a couple of friends lure Qi Lei to a local hospital to have him evaluated, there is a funny scene when his wild looking friend is mistaken for the patient and dragged before a wooden faced psychiatrist. The harder he tries to convince them that his isn't the one with the problem, the more and more psycho he seems. Pretty soon, he realizes that he is basically bouncing off the walls and that they think he is a complete nut case.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
The video is, unfortunately, in the 4:3 (1.33:1) aspect ratio, which pretty much takes this one off of the 'to buy' list for me. Its not that I'm a video snob, I just won't watch much 4:3 material for fear of uneven wear on my projector CRTs. I usually just watch them stretched to fill the screen. As you might expect for a low budget film, the quality of the material is a little uneven and definitely not of reference quality. That's not what this type of film is really about of course, but we have to comment on these things.
The audio quality is somewhat low as well, though that's of little consequence unless you speak Mandarin, since you'll be reading the subtitles otherwise. It's presented in Dolby 2.0 format, which is sufficient for this type of film.
As is usual for the types of films I tend to review, there aren't really any extras to speak of. Just a simple textual filmography section. Oh well, what can ya do? It would have probably cost more to make any extras material than it did to make the film.
Closing Statement
Overall, this is an interesting film. It's just hampered by low technical points, in terms of its being evaluated as a DVD. If you like quirky, moody independent films (and I generally do), then I would recommend it as a rental. But it's not good enough a DVD to recommend a purchase, unless you are a real fan of this genre. Its great to watch when you are in one of those sleepy, tingly moods because of the spacey soundtrack.
The Verdict
Acquitted for content, but cited for lack of technical quality. The numbers are also dragged down due to lack of extras.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Frozen (1996) a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

Baby, Why do you hurt yourself?
Why do you endanger your health?
Cry yourself to sleep at night,
Hide away from what is right.
Baby, Why do you live a lie?
Smile, when you cry inside,
Pretend like you're so strong,
But really this is just all wrong.
Baby, What do you achieve from this?
Lulling yourself, into a sick abyss?
A wicked glimmer in your eye,
As you grin and say goodbye.

Glenn Beck Didn't Like 'Noah' Because 'I Don't Believe In Rock People'
On Friday's radio broadcast, Glenn Beck told his audience not to see the new "Noah" movie because it was "dangerous disinformation," despite the fact that he had not actually seen the film. As luck would have it, Beck was in Los Angeles over the weekend and was invited by the film's producers to attend a private screening, which he did ... and he really hated it, mostly because he found it to be totally ridiculous and unbiblical.
In particular, he was put off by the "giant rock people" that helped Noah with his tasks in the movie, who were supposed to represent the Nephilim (giant offspring of angles and human females mentioned in Genesis 6).
Beck, who just last year put on a giant stage production centered around an anthropomorphic moon, played by Beck himself, telling the story of America, found these "giant rock people" to be just too absurd and far-fetched.
"Rock people!" Beck said in disbelief, adding that he was sure that critics of religion like Bill Maher would point out that it seems odd to object to "rock people" if one is willing to accept the existence of a "sky God," but this is different.
"Yeah, but I don't believe in rock people, okay? I have a hard time with that one," Beck declared.
On top of that, the movie was bad because "it treats a prophet of God like a lunatic":

I paid for and downloaded and installed the premium version and it never worked at all - no popup appears no matter what I tried.

Also note that the current free version is supposed to be 1.6.8 but when you download it you get 1.6.4.

Purpose of Parking RegulationsTo ensure the safety of both vehicles and pedestrians in parking lots as well as to maximize the utility of the lots.
Parking ProceduresIncluded in the Parking Guidelines is a description of enforcement practices, parking restrictions, permit displays and permit violations.
Concept of Enforcement – Fair and Equitable
It is important to understand that parking enforcement within the Santa Monica Community College District is a necessary part of the overall parking management system. Enforcement of parking rules at Santa Monica College is the responsibility of the SMC Police and Safety Services Department. Parking enforcement ensures that students and employees will have a reasonable opportunity for parking and that individuals without appropriate authority or who have parked in an inappropriate area will be cited.
SMC Police personnel have the authority to issue parking citations under the auspices of the California Vehicle Code. Individuals who receive parking citations and neglect to pay appropriate fines may not be able to register their vehicles. It is important that individuals who receive parking citations take appropriate action to either pay the fine or file an appeal through the SMC Police Office.
An unfortunate aspect of parking enforcement continues to be the adversarial attitude of some students and staff who receive parking citations. All complaints regarding parking enforcement should be directed to the SMC Police Headquarters for appropriate review and response through the appeals process.
Help and Further InformationA full set of parking guidelines attached to the parking permit is distributed to all students and employees. Students, employees and visitors can obtain further information at the SMC Police Office.
Campus maps are available at SMC Police Headquarters and the Parking Kiosk.
Parking AvailabilityThe college provides parking stalls for students and employees. In addition, spaces designated as disabled, loading and visitor are provided throughout the campus; they are appropriately marked.
Enforcement PracticesThe Santa Monica College Parking Procedures, the California Vehicle Code and the ordinances of the City of Santa Monica are in effect and enforced on the Santa Monica College campus at all times. Citations are issued according to the printed and/or posted regulations.
24-Hour Enforcement Zones
It is the policy of the department that all Red Zones, Fire Lanes/Hydrants, Disabled Parking, Loading Zones, and the reserved parking for the President, will be enforced 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Disabled Parking SpacesSpaces for handicapped drivers are available in all campus lots. Vehicles using these spaces must display a valid DMV placard or temporary permit. The minimum fine for illegally parking in a handicap space is $396.00.
Employee ParkingAll employee parking stalls and zones are enforced 24 hours daily, seven days a week. Vehicles displaying staff parking permits are exempt from posted loading time restrictions.
Fire Lanes/Fire HydrantsAll roads and driveways within the Santa Monica Community College District which are fire lanes must be kept unobstructed and available to emergency response vehicles at all times. Access to fire hydrants must also be maintained at all times. Any vehicle presenting a hazard by obstructing a fire lane or a fire hydrant my be towed immediately.
Red CurbsA vehicle may not park or stop at a red curb. Most red curbs indicate a fire lane or emergency vehicle access route.
Loading ZonesLoading zones are identified with a yellow curb or yellow crosshatch and the words "Loading Zone" painted on the pavement. Parking is permitted for 10 minutes to facilitate the immediate loading and unloading of material. Loading zones for passengers are identified with a green curb. If it is necessary for the vehicle to remain longer than 10 minutes, the vehicle should be moved to a student parking space. The driver MUST obtain a temporary one-day parking permit from the SMC Police Headquarters or Parking Kiosk before parking in the student parking space.
Overnight ParkingOvernight parking is prohibited unless previously authorized by SMC Police Headquarters. Only vehicles displaying overnight permits may park overnight. Camping or residing in a motor vehicle on college property is prohibited.
Parking for Motorcycles, Mopeds, Motorized Bicycles and ScootersAll motorcycles, mopeds, motorized bicycles and scooters must park in areas designated for motorcycles
Head-First ParkingAll vehicles must be parked in parking spaces front-end first (Head-In ONLY). A citation is issued for failure to comply with this regulation.
Proper Stall Parking All motor vechiles must be parked with ONE marked stall (within the marked lines).

AES E-Library
Concert Hall Acoustics—2008
A comprehensive review of concert hall acoustics shows a clear relationship between measurements and perceived quality among listeners, conductors, and musicians. While the basic Sabine and Eyring equations are still important for determining reverberation times, there are other measures that are also important. These include rise and decay of sound energy, early decay at mid-frequencies, lateral fraction, binaural quality index, perceived loudness, listener envelopment, and others. These measures must be connected to the subjective ratings of concert halls that have been accumulated over the years. The principles are illustrated with case studies that compare the shoebox shape to the surround design.

I am not allowed to compile the java class into the instance of Oracle we're running on, per architects request, so I am looking for alternatives. The requirement is to utilize a java library located on an application server on the network. Is it possible to call a java method located on another machine from PL/SQL? I found this article talking about external procedures in Oracle, but I'm not sure that it allows for this. As a side not, the performance would also have to be fast enough to be used in batch processing of thousands or millions of calls.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I suspect the best you can do is add entries to another table which your Java process polls to get each or batches of messages. Oracle is not really designed for message processing.
In any case, I would discuss this with your Architect what to do as he is the expert. ;)
If your Oracle system can't do the job, you may need to have a solution which doesn't use Oracle.
You have three options:
1.) We solved a similar problem by making PL/SQL call HTTP using UTL_HTTP and then let the app-server call the java procedure. We did this to interface our Oracle Database with Oracle Reports. The PL/SQL fired an HTTP Request which was received by the app-server which called Java. The Java can call back PL/SQL via normal JDBC.
2.) You might not be able to load that java proc, but maybe you can create some other java stored procedure that can invoke it using RMI.
3.) AQ is another method. Basically you can Queue a message using AQ and use JMS on the App Server to Dequeue it and use it.
Option 3 would be the fastest, though we have tried option 1 and the latency for this is not as much as you might it. It also offers a way to do some parallel processing by running multiple requests in parallel.

I have a couple problems. First is showing the priority option on the front end for a user. This is what I've got:
[todoadmin title="Task List" priorities=1 deadline=1 progress=1 categories="afv"]
Did I miss something? It shows in the backend of wordpress for my admin login but not in the page with this code.
It does show the deadline and progress bar but the menu bar is jumbled and stacked instead of side by side so it reads Item, Progress, Deadline on top of eachother and then Action to the side. When a task is entered in is it possible to make these line up nice as a table?
Also the progress bar is right on top of the Item Box. Can we position this just a bit lower? I know these are knit-picky requests but this is such a great tool, I want it to look just right.
Thanks much!

While reading Ayana Byrd's essay "Claiming Jezebel: Back Female Subjectivity and Sexual Expression in Hip Hop," while preparing for my lecture on women's bodies and rap videos I came across an interesting quote by and about Foxy Brown? on the "Ain't No Nigga" era. Byrd writes quoting Foxy,
"At sixteen I was just so happy to have a nice car and a nice home that I didn't complain about my image," Foxy said in Essence Magazine. "I had all the influences around me, and I wasn't always strong enough to come back like no, I don't want to do that."
I was tripping off the fact that she was 17 when this joint dropped, and we didn't blink.
Honestly though, it doesn't matter if she was 17 or 35, because you know what blood, many of us subscribe to this policy.
"He sleeps around but he gives me a lot" is problematic for two reasons.
First it reduces human relationships to financial transactions.
Second, if he sleeps around and he gives us a lot, then what does that mean to our HIV and various other STD statuses? What if you getting "a lot" means not wearing a condom? Black peoples STD's statuses are high. This of course has to do with both our choices and access to health care. According to the CDC,
Racial disparities in HIV diagnoses are particularly severe among young people. Overall, blacks made up half (51%) of all new HIV diagnoses between 2001 and 2005. But among youth aged 13 ?24, blacks accounted for 61 percent of diagnoses.
Genital ulcers (e.g., syphilis syphilis, , herpes herpes, or , chancroid chancroid) ) result in breaks in the genital tract lining or skin which create a portal of entry for HIV.
Individuals who are infected with STDs are at least two to five times two times more likely than uninfected more individuals to acquire HIV.
You and I both no that I don't do puritanical. A 'tall. There is enough of that in the world all ready. See Tyler Perry. However these questions needs to be asked and the statistics need to be reflected on.
I write this because I am concerned about how we make choices about our bodies and pleasure.
*For Colored Girls Spoiler alert ahead.*
There is a scene in For Colored Girls where Jo (Janet Jackson) learns that she has HIV because her husband, who apparently is a Black man who has sex with men, but doesn't call himself gay.
Jo knew/suspected, yet chose to stay. In many ways she turned herself into an object.
This gay = AID's is the bane of my existance because it normalizes the idea that Black women get HIV because of Black men who have sex with men who don't share this information with us.
Raw dog feels good. Pleasure feels good. I wager that many of us take part in high risk sexual activities, ie having consistent or even sporadic sex with someone without consistently wearing protection and this is how many of us contract STD's.
This summer Latoya was telling me of a researcher (I forget her name, but will add when I find out) who says that we participate in concurrent sexual networks. I like that idea. Because it shows how people are related.
Raw Dog has consequences. We ain't gotta lie. I know sexuality is hella taboo, for Black women, but we grown and the girls and boys coming up after us are watching how we handle everything.
Our lives lightweight are depending on it.
Does it matter that Foxy was 17?
Blaming Gay men or Men who have sex with me, because some of us like and engage in raw dog?
Did you know the stats were that high for Black youth?

It's been well over a week since I broke the Sanders-Lomax Scandal. All the local media outlets have been informed. The Greensboro City Council and City Staff has been informed, Walker and Dabney Sanders and John Lomax have been informed and to date the only action that has taken place was John Lomax removing the incriminating photograph from his Facebook page.
It would be very easy for Sanders and Lomax to prove me wrong . If in fact I am wrong. All they have to do is show credit card receipts indicating who paid for the trip. I'm a stand up guy and would post their evidence right on the very same post where I made my accusations. And all the parties involved know how to get in touch with me as I personally made all of them aware of my post. I mean, everyone knows you don't pay cash for flights to Bermuda, right?
Say what you want about me, call my accusations wild and unfounded if you like but why aren't Sanders and Lomax willing to prove their innocence and clear this issue up in front of the City of Greensboro where they control $Millions in taxpayer Dollars? The longer they wait the more people will hear about it. On that you have my word.

The 'NoniLand Chocolate Farm' story:
I was in Amsterdam in 2003 talking to an owner of a cafe one morning. Offhandedly, the owner said to me, "One day I'm going to buy a cacao farm and retire." Until that very moment, I had never even considered starting a cacao farm. The idea of growing cacao trees had never crossed my mind. All of a sudden it all made sense. From that day forward I started thinking about growing the best cacao ever. In 2006, this led to the founding of "NoniLand: Organic Cacao Farm & Bee Sanctuary." Most of the cacao trees at NoniLand were grown from fresh cacao beans to fruiting trees. Many have vanilla or other types of orchids growing in them. From permaculture to biodynamic to compost teas, we've tried every alternative farming strategy. They have all been wonderfully enjoyable.
Now NoniLand organic cacao beans are being stone-ground into Sacred Chocolate bars! You will taste floral notes, unique finishes, new vistas of sensation, and rich vanilla tones in each bar. We believe we have achieved something very special. Enjoy NoniLand Sacred Chocolate!
Would you like to see NoniLand – David's Organic Chocolate Farm?
In Sacred Chocolate video blog series, I showcase NoniLand's cacao trees in my favorite Garden and I talk about the magic of cacao, which is also the blueprint of the 'Anandamide Experience.'
This is a GREAT video for all chocolate lovers, superfood connoisseurs, and especially those who are professional writers, artists and intellectuals dedicated to actualizing their greatest potential. Find out why raw, organic chocolate is the ultimate brain-food that feeds your creativity, self-confidence, and enthusiasm for life!

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) - The minister of interior security said in a statement that 36 people were killed in a stampede Monday following a religious ceremony.
Sadio Gassame said the stampede occurred at Bamako's Modibo
Keita Stadium during an event on Monday marking the Muslim holy
period of Maouloud.
The accident took place at the end of the ceremony as people were trying to leave and the crowd surged against a metal barrier.
Anguished families gathered outside the capital's Gabriel Toure
Hospital, waiting for news as doctors were preparing to post a list
of the dead.

This film is long (seven hours long) not because the book on which it is based is long, but because the subject of its story is the state. And any story the state has to tell is going to be a very, very long one. War and Peace was not made by a director, a mere individual, but by the state itself: the USSR. The state made it in 1968, paid a fortune for its production (the critic Michael Atkinson claims that in todays terms the movie would cost about $1 billion), called up hundreds of thousands of extras, and spent over a half a decade constructing a narrative of its power. Not glory, but state power. The cinema of glory is something like the Triumph of the Will, which is all pornography and no story. State power is not simply a matter of glory; it must be about years of suffering, about all levels of society, about its movement across the high and low terrain of history. In War and Peace, state power flows through society with a fluid camera. It flows into bedrooms, ballrooms, death chambers, battlefields, city streets at dusk, over the Neva, above the country and into the clouds. In this film, more than any other film in history, the power of the state is translated into the power of cinema. CHARLES MUDEDE
Jim Demetre has a good, concise post on War and Peace up on Artdish right now. (The discussion of Pride and Prejudice adaptations also ties into my Slog post from last week—guys, Austen is social satire: it's OK to laugh.) But here at The Stranger, we believe excess should be met with excess.
So tomorrow, starting at 1 pm and going on for hours and hours, Charles Mudede will utilize the software formerly dedicated to trifles like politics and Project Runway to liveblog War and Peace. Be here or mock Tolstoy. At your peril.
