SPOILER WARNING: The contents of the following article contain plot points from today's "Brightest Day" #24.
Last week, readers of the DC Comics Universe received a long-awaited shock when the publisher brought former DC mainstay Swamp Thing back from its Vertigo imprint to mix it up with its core superheroes as part of the plotline for year-long event series "Brightest Day." Today, the final issue of the 24-part series ships to comic shops, and aside from providing a wrap to storylines with a wealth of resurrected DC heroes, the series contains one more big twist.
As part and parcel of "Brightest Day" #24's rollout, John Constantine – the smarmy British occult detective created by Alan Moore, Steve Bissette and John Totleben as part of their classic "Swamp Thing" run – also returns to the DC Universe proper. Of course, Constantine remains the star of the long-running Vertigo series "Hellblazer," currently written by Peter Milligan and still digging into the kind of urban horror the mature-readers Vertigo imprint has always been known for.
With the long-standing wall between Vertigo and the DCU now seemingly crumbling away, CBR News spoke with DC Co-Publisher Dan Didio about exactly how the return of these characters to DC books proper will play out both in "Brightest Day" and into incoming stories like "Brightest Day Aftermath: The Search For Swamp Thing." Below, Didio explains DC's reasoning for bringing the characters back to their origin point and how that move doesn't shake up the work still being done at Vertigo.
Dan Didio: It was a constant discussion we'd been having. This is something that Geoff [Johns], Jim [Lee] and myself have been talking about since we first took our new positions with DC. It was always an interesting discussion for us because there were so many exciting and important stories with Swamp Thing in the day that were associated with the DC Universe that we thought of fondly. And we understood why there was a distinction between the DC Universe and Vertigo, but since some of these characters actually started in the DC Universe, we didn't understand the reason why we shouldn't be able to migrate them back at a particular point.
That was the primary goal, though what happened was that Constantine fell into a rather strange zone. When you look at Swamp Thing and all the big stories you think about with that character, John Constantine is an integral part of those things. But we have a very long-running and very successful series in "Hellblazer" that's still our longest running series at Vertigo. So when we thought it through and looked back to the early days of Vertigo when the Phantom Stranger would go back and forth and nobody seemed to bat an eye in the process...well, what better character to do that at this moment than Constantine? That's one of the reasons why with the return of Swamp Thing, you see the reintroduction of Constantine to the DC Universe.
Geoff Johns obviously has a heavy hand in how this works itself out creatively, but how did you determine where to roll this out fully? It looks as though the next appearance of these characters in DC books will be in "Brightest Day Aftermath: The Search For Swamp Thing" which is being written by former Vertigo editor Jonathan Vankin. Is that an example of how you wanted to find people to introduce them who'd worked with them and could retain what worked with them at Vertigo while still making them work for the DCU?
Well, one of the things was that we wanted to work with Jonathan Vankin period. We were talking with him about different projects and different ideas, and when this project started to gestate, he seemed like the most natural person to bring to this book and help us with it.
The question most people are going to be asking is simply "How does this work?" With Constantine, there are horror elements, language elements and sexual elements that have been in his stories that I'm sure you don't want dropping into the middle of, say, "Teen Titans." Was there an idea of the pieces of the Vertigo cast you knew would carry over, or is each story done in its own way?
You have to take each story in its own way, but there are two very distinct approaches to how we're bringing Constantine to DCU and Vertigo simultaneously. First, there's not a thing that will change about John Constantine's "Hellblazer" book at Vertigo. That book has a particular voice and a particular style, and it's nothing we want to upset the apple cart on. It's a very successful series for us, and we don't want to do anything that would be detrimental to it. So it will continue with the same flavor, style and tone it's always had. Nothing changes at all. And then when you look at how Constantine fits in the DCU, well...we have a template for that, and it's the Constantine that was in the DCU when he first appeared. He had a voice, a style and a tone, and we're going to use that particular style and voice for the character in the stories we plan to tell with him. We have a template for both versions, and there's quite honestly no reason to merge them. Constantine in the Vertigo universe is in his 60s, and what you have in the DC Universe is a character who is markedly younger. It's something where if you looked at him when he first appeared, he hasn't aged a day. Go figure! [Laughs] You can come up with some story reason for that if you want, but we like to think he's just been waiting for us to bring him back in the DCU.
I would say absolutely. That's not to say that there may not be places within those stories that become inspiration for a story idea now, but like I said before, there's a particular tonality and theme that is unique to Vertigo. That's why we have a separate imprint. It's not because they can curse or there's some sexuality that's not shown in the DC Universe. There's a maturity in the storytelling and a deeper focus and examination of the characters. That works extraordinarily well for that kind of universe. Meanwhile, in the DC Universe we have things that are much more rooted in the action adventure realm, so therefore there's a different style of story that will be taking place with these characters as they'll be used in the DCU that'll be separate from the way they're portrayed in Vertigo. So if a story subject works for the DC Universe, we can use that for story material, but if it doesn't, it can stay – and it's important that it stays – with Vertigo.
The last element that a lot of folks will be wondering is with Constantine now back on the DCU beat, is there any chance we'll see more DC characters appearing in "Hellblazer"?
It's hard to say whether or not there will be DCU characters because it stands so well without them. It doesn't need those types of characters in there. But that's not to say that down the road you might not see Swamp Thing appear back in there. One of the reasons that Constantine is appearing in a book involving Swamp Thing now is that he's created a very integral part of that character's history and storytelling, and I have to think that's reciprocal to how things appear in Vertigo.
Stay tuned to CBR News later this week for more on "Brightest Day Aftermath" with writer Jonathan Vankin!

Don't discriminate among persons with disabilities, says SC

The Supreme Court Thursday ruled that there could be no discrimination among persons with disabilities and that the government must provide equal benefits to all such people under the law.
A Bench of Justices K S Radhakrishnan and A K Sikri relied on the objective of the Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995, and reminded the government that no further classification can be made on the basis of kind of disability a person is suffering with.
"The Disabilities Act does not create any barrier or discrimination among persons with disabilities... When a person is having any of the disabilities mentioned in Section 2(i) and is so certified by the doctor, he is entitled to the benefits of all the schemes and benefits provided by the government and there can be no further discrimination among the persons with varied or different types of disabilities," held the court.
The court order restricts government authorities from discriminating among different classes of disabled persons such as blind, deaf, dumb and orthopaedically handicapped, in matter of providing job opportunities or other benefits.
The SC noted that any comparison of disabilities among "persons of disabilities", without any rational basis, was violative of Articles 14 (right to equality) of the Constitution.
The court ruling came on a petition by two associations representing the deaf and dumb persons, employed as central and state government employees. They sought a direction to the governments for granting transport allowance them in equal with what was given to blinds and orthopedically handicapped employees.
While the the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare supported their stand, Finance Ministry contended deaf and dumb were a class different from blind and orthopedically handicapped persons and hence their entitlement should be different.

How OnDeck Business Financing Works
We help small businesses every day. Here's what they're saying:
What Makes Us Better
We launched OnDeck in 2007 to solve a major issue facing small businesses: financing. We combined our passion for Main Street with cutting-edge technology to evaluate businesses based on their actual performance, not personal credit.
That's enabled us to have significantly higher approval rates than if we only looked at personal credit scores, like many traditional lenders. And that lets owners spend their time where it should be—on growing their business, not seeking financing.

A RANDOMIZED controlled trial (RCT) is the most reliable method of assessing the efficacy of health care interventions.1,2 Reports of RCTs should provide readers with adequate information about what went on in the design, execution, analysis, and interpretation of the trial. Such reports will help readers judge the validity of the trial.
There have been several investigations evaluating how RCTs are reported. In an early study, Mahon and Daniel3 reviewed 203 reports of drug trials published between 1956 and 1960 in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. Only 11 reports (5.4%) fulfilled their criteria of a valid report. In a review of 45 trials published during 1985 in three leading general medical journals, Pocock and colleagues4 reported that a statement about sample size was only mentioned in five (11.1%) of the reports, that only six (13.3%) made use of confidence intervals, and that the statistical analyses tended to

Gay marriages banned
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- November 06, 2008
VOTERS put a stop to same-sex marriage in California, dealing a crushing defeat to gay-rights activists in a state they hoped would be a vanguard, and putting in doubt as many as 18,000 same-sex marriages conducted since a court ruling made them legal this year.
The gay-rights movement had a rough election elsewhere as well today. Ban-gay-marriage amendments were approved in Arizona and Florida, and Arkansas voters approved a measure banning unmarried couples from serving as adoptive or foster parents. Supporters made clear that gays and lesbians were their main target.
With almost all precincts reporting, election returns showed the measure winning with 52 percent. Some provisional and absentee ballots remained to be tallied, but based on trends and the locations of the votes still outstanding, the margin of support in favor of the initiative was secure.
Similar bans had prevailed in 27 states before Tuesday's elections, but none were in California's situation - with about 18,000 gay couples already married. The state attorney general, Jerry Brown, has said those marriages will remain valid, although legal challenges are possible.
Elsewhere, voters in Colorado and South Dakota rejected measures that could have led to sweeping bans of abortion, and Washington became only the second state - after Oregon - to offer terminally ill people the option of physician-assisted suicide.
A first-of-its-kind measure in Colorado, which was defeated soundly, would have defined life as beginning at conception. Its opponents said the proposal could lead to the outlawing of some types of birth control as well as abortion.
The South Dakota measure would have banned abortions except in cases of rape, incest and serious health threat to the mother. A tougher version, without the rape and incest exceptions, lost in 2006. Anti-abortion activists thought the modifications would win approval, but the margin of defeat was similar, about 55 percent to 45 percent of the vote.
"The lesson here is that Americans, in states across the country, clearly support women's ability to access abortion care without government interference," said Vicki Saporta, president of the National Abortion Federation.
In Washington, voters gave solid approval to an initiative modeled after Oregon's "Death with Dignity" law, which allows a terminally ill person to be prescribed lethal medication they can administer to themselves. Since Oregon's law took effect in 1997, more than 340 people - mostly ailing with cancer - have used it to end their lives.
The marijuana reform movement won two prized victories, with Massachusetts voters decriminalizing possession of small amounts of the drug and Michigan joining 12 other states in allowing use of pot for medical purposes.
Henceforth, people caught in Massachusetts with an ounce or less of pot will no longer face criminal penalties. Instead, they'll forfeit the marijuana and pay a $100 civil fine.
The Michigan measure will allow severely ill patients to register with the state and legally buy, grow and use small amounts of marijuana to relieve pain, nausea, appetite loss and other symptoms.
Nebraska voters, meanwhile, approved a ban on race- and gender-based affirmative action, similar to measures previously approved in California, Michigan and Washington. Returns in Colorado on a similar measure were too close to call.
Ward Connerly, the California activist-businessman who has led the crusade against affirmative action, said Obama's victory proved his point. "We have overcome the scourge of race," Connerly said.
Energy measures met a mixed fate. In Missouri, voters approved a measure requiring the state's three investor-owned electric utilities to get 15 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2021. But California voters defeated an even more ambitious measure that would have required the state's utilities to generate half their electricity from windmills, solar systems, geothermal reserves and other renewable sources by 2025.
Two animal-welfare measures passed - a ban on dog racing in Massachusetts, and a proposition in California that outlaws cramped cages for egg-laying chickens.
Amid deep economic uncertainty, proposals to cut state income taxes were defeated decisively in North Dakota and Massachusetts.
In San Francisco, an eye-catching local measure - to bar arrests for prostitution - was soundly rejected. Police and political leaders said it would hamper the fight against sex trafficking.

It is no shock that Avista is a leading utility serving the northwestern US. The firm's regulated utility unit has a generation capacity of more than 1,940 MW of electricity. Avista Utilities provides electric service to 700,000 electric and natural gas customers. The company operates six hydroelectric projects and owns coal, natural gas, and wood waste plants. Avista has no natural gas reserves and purchases its supply from the wholesale market. The company also operated 79%-owned Ecova (which manages energy expenses and provides energy consulting expertise for about 700 multisite companies across the US) but sold this unit in 2014.
Avista Utilities generates, transmits, and distributes electricity; it also distributes natural gas. In 2014 the company supplied retail electric service to 370,000 customers and retail natural gas service to 330,000 customers across its service territory. The utility also engages in wholesale purchases and sales of electricity and natural gas.
Avista's non-regulated businesses are minor, and include commercial real estate investments, a venture capital funds firm, a sheet metal fabricator, and a fuel cell company.
Geographic Reach
Avista's utility service territory covers 30,000 square miles in eastern Washington, northern Idaho and parts of southern and eastern Oregon, with a population of 1.5 million.
Sales and Marketing
In addition to its retail utility customers, the company sells to third parties ans retailers as well as in wholesale markets.
Financial Performance
In 2014 Avista's revenues decreased by 9% due to the absence of revenues from Ecova (which it sold), partially offset by an increase in sales from other segments.Net income increased by 73% in 2014, primarily due to the disposition of Ecova, which resulted in the recognition of a $69.7 million net gain. In addition, the company recognized a $15 million pre-tax gain on settlement of California power markets litigation involving Avista Energy, partially offset by pre-tax contribution of $6.4 million from proceeds to the Avista Foundation.In 2014 Avista's net cash provided by operating activities increased by 10% in 2014. The net cash used during 2014 primarily reflects cash outflows from changes in accounts payable, natural gas stored, and income taxes receivable. These were partially offset by cash inflows from changes in other current liabilities (accrued taxes and interest) and accounts receivable.
The company continues to explore strategic opportunities for corporate growth. To allow Avista financial flexibility and a growth market beyond utilities, the company has expanded its non-regulated unit's portfolio in recent years. In this regard, it launched Salix LNG in 2014 to explore markets that could be served with liquefied natural gas (LNG), primarily in the West and Pacific Northwest. It also made an investment in Plum Energy, to extend the benefits of natural gas beyond the traditional pipeline markets in energy generation, transportation, and small-scale LNG value chains. It is also exploring additional strategic opportunities to bring natural gas to southeast Alaska.To raise cash, in 2014 Avista Capital sold its interest in Ecova to Cofely USA, an indirect subsidiary of GDF SUEZ, for $335 million.
Mergers and Acquisitions
In 2014, the company acquired AERC, whose primary subsidiary is Alaska Electric Light and Power Company (AEL&P). AEL&P has a firm retail peak load of 68 MW, owns four hydroelectric generating facilities, and has a power purchase commitment for the output of the Snettisham hydroelectric project.
Company Background
Avista was founded in 1889 as the Washington Water Power Company.

A 60-year study of men's penises (can we get one of those for the causes of breast cancer, guys?) was released this week. According to the Guardian,
The survey ultimately concluded that "the average erect penis was 5.5ins to 6.2ins long and 4.7ins to 5.1ins in girth". And looked hilarious resting on a Petri dish.
If we generously take the average to be six inches, and multiply that by the total number of appendages, it means they examined a total of 72,000 inches of penis, which sounds impressive until you input that figure into a conversion calculator and realise it's a mere 1.136 miles. A frail old lady could cycle that distance in less than five minutes, assuming she could keep her eyes on the road.
Anyway, it wasn't all warm hands and tape measures. The researchers also asked the owners of the penises some probing questions - presumably in a misguided attempt to break the ice, or make the whole scenario feel faintly less awkward. They found that "those with a 'normal-sized' penis often mistakenly thought theirs was too small". Perhaps the researcher had huge hands.
Other findings from the survey:
Guys everywhere will go to great, um, lengths to make their penises larger. In Brazil, the Topinama people encourage poisonous snakes to bite their penises to enlarge them for six months; in India, Sadhus men use weights to increase the length of their penises; and in Borneo, Dayak men pierce the glans of their penis and insert things into the holes to stimulate their partners.
Sixty-six per cent of men said their penis was "average", 22 percent said it was "large," and 12 percent said it was "small." Eighty-five percent of women said they were satisfied with their partners penis size, but only 55 percent of men were satisfied.
Fully ninety percent of women prefer a wide penis to a long one. Eight-five percent of women said they were satisfied with their partner's penis size.
"Small penis syndrome" (yeah, it's a real diagnosable illness) is much more common in men with normal-size penises than those with an actual "micropenis"—a penis that has a
flaccid length of less than 2.7 inches when fully erect.

Protein C, a protein in the body that prevents blood clotting.[1][2] It may be inherited or acquired. Inherited deficiency of protein C can lead to familial thrombophilia (increased tendency toward thrombosis). It is caused by mutations in the PROC gene, and in most cases is transmitted in an autosomal dominant way; a few people inherit an abnormal allele from both parents and may have a more severe disease (please see autosomal recessive protein C deficiency) because they have very low levels of active protein C. Acquired protein C deficiency may be caused by large blood clots, liver disease, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), infection (sepsis), vitamin K deficiency, use of warfarin or certain types of chemotherapy.[3] [2] While most people with protein C deficiency do not have problems, some are at risk for a type of clot called deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can travel through the bloodstream and become stuck in the lung, causing pulmonary embolism. Also, abnormal bleeding can occur in various parts of the body causing purple patches on the skin. Treatment depend on the symptoms severity. Most people do not need any treatment. However, in situations of clot risk such as pregnancy, surgery or trauma, prevention treatment may be indicated.[1][3]Protein C deficiency is a disorder that increases a person's risk to develop abnormal blood clots due to a deficiency of the

Arts Martin Amis and Mohamed Atta
It's appropriate that responses to Sept. 11 from filmmakers and writers are proliferating during the unbelievably weird trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, who doubtless will spawn some kind of takeoff himself.
The latest comes from Martin Amis, whose new book, coming out in the fall, imagines The Last Days of Mohamed Atta in a short story:
As explained by his publisher, Jonathan Cape, the tale can be summarised like this: "Accompanied by one of the 'muscle' Saudis, Mohamed Atta drove to Portland, Maine, on 10 September 2001. Noone knows why. In 'The Last Days of Mohamed Atta', Martin Amis provides a rationale for Atta's insouciant detour, and for other lacunae in the 'planes operation'. We follow Atta on that day: from his small-hour awakening in the budget hotel room in Portland, all the way to 8:46am - and beyond."
Also in the book, which is titled House of Meetings after the novella that opens it, is a short story called In the Palace of the End:
"In the Palace of the End" is narrated by one of the doubles for a Middle Eastern tyrant - clearly a figure such as Saddam Hussein or his demented son and heir, Uday.
"The double divides his day between epic torture and epic lovemaking with picked beauties - all of it filmed for the delectation of the dictator," according to the publisher's blurb.
It continues: "He also has a third obligation: he must duplicate on his person the wounds sustained by the dictator in the almost-daily attempts on his life."
Rumours have long circulated in the Middle East that Saddam Hussein, the now deposed Iraqi dictator, did, indeed, have up to four doubles, though none has ever surfaced.

I must say this hotel is very very nice. We where in room 205 and stayed over New Year's. We stayed in the studio. It is perfect for a couple. My husband and I were celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary. It was cold so we never went to the beach but we drove down to it and it is very close (walking distance). The only way that you can get to ur room is by the elevators that are located in the lobby. The owners lounge is very nice. FYI the walls are very thin and if there are people staying beside you, you will be hearing them talk. That only happened two nights out of our week stay so it was not bad at all. We didn't use the shuttle that they had to go to Atlantic city casinos we just drove cause parking was only $5 at the trump casino. I would recommend this hotel and would stay here agian. I front desk was more then nice and helpful.

I just got myself a wifi capable cell phone, but I dont have a wireless internet at home. I do have a wired unlimited internet connection on my computer, and I wonder whether there is any gadget that I can plug into my computer (maybe at the usb port?) with which I can turn my computer into a wifi access point? I mean, a dongle or something which will enable me to connect my phone to my computer's internet through wi-fi? Also, I dont know anything about networking, so would it be hard for me to set up a secure wifi point? Thank you for reading this question through. Hope I can buy some sort of adapter which is comparitively cheap.
You can do this with a usb wireless adapter, the following vid shows the general process, I would choose to use security on the connection (ie dont follow the exact example in this video).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6rZUgYWVcQ . However as the previous answer suggested the best option is to get a router that lets you connect in a more secure manner.
Although it is possible to do what you want from a dongle, firstly a cheap one will not cut it, and secondly it is very hard to configure, you be better to buy a wifi router and put it in between your computer and internet connection and it will save you a lot of work and will mot likely be cheaper

AUSTIN (December 6, 2013) Two people have been charged in connection with a Central Texas-based Ponzi scheme that raised nearly $18 million purportedly for investments in oil and gas interests, federal prosecutors say.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said Friday that Robert A. Helms and Janniece S. Kaelin used most of the money from investors in more than a dozen states for personal and business expenses.
An SEC complaint contends the pair violated antifraud provisions of the Securities Exchange Act.
Helms and Kaelin operated Austin-based Vendetta Royalty Partners.
Prosecutors say Ponzi payments were made to investors to create the impression they were earning returns on a profitable investment.
The complaint says the two failed to disclose to investors pending litigation against them and misrepresented the performance of investments under their management.

Meerkats in 3D
Seen Meerkat Manor on Animal Planet lately? Wish you could just reach out and touch the adorable little scrappers? Well, you can't, of course, but you can see similar action in Meerkats 3D at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. The Kalahari Meerkat Project has been studying the complex social structure of meerkats in northern South Africa for almost 20 years, keeping highly detailed records of births, deaths, hierarchy and other aspects of the 16 groups that frequent the area. Meerkats 3D follows a family as they move from rearing tiny pups to dealing with territorial neighbors and even defending themselves against a deadly cobra. Having been observed by humans most of their lives, these groups completely accept the filmmakers' presence, allowing an almost completely natural look at their existence. Through December 20. 5555 Hermann Park Drive. For information, call 713-639-4629 or visit www.hmns.org. $9 to $11.
Mondays-Sundays. Starts: Sept. 7. Continues through Dec. 20, 2012

Just got back from vacation in Hawaiʻi. Last time was the Big Island, this time was Maui and Oʻahu. Here's some photos and tweets.
Maui is rural and full of natural beauty but with some upscale tourist hotels as well. We stayed down in Wailea which has nice resorts, restaurants, and beaches. We also drove all over. The famous Road to Hana made much better with this audio guide, although I regret not planning more time to stop and go swimming in the waterfall pools. Also Lāhainā which is interesting for its 19th century history. The helicopter tour of Molokaʻi was also phenomenal.
Oʻahu is much more urban. The North Shore has some nature but we never left Honolulu. Waikiki is remarkably convenient for a simple carless visit, I totally understand why people go just there for short vacations, but then Hawaiʻi has so much more to offer than one tourist mall! One highlight of Oʻahu was the Heart of the USS Missouri tour at Pearl Harbor, crawling around the engineering rooms of a 1940s battleship. The other was the Bishop Museum's phenomenal collection of Hawaiian cultural artifacts, made more special by visiting with a friend who is an anthropology professor. We're not really relax-on-the-beach tourists so it was nice to have some more organized activities in Honolulu.
We are food tourists though! Got some great advice from folks. On Maui my favorite meals were at Monkeypod and Mama's Fish House. Spago was also very good although not particularly Hawaiian. On Oʻahu the most interesting local meals we had were at The Pig and the Lady and Mud Hen Water. We also really enjoyed Hy's for wood-fired steaks and La Mer offers an excellent fine French dining meal.
As a white American I feel a strong sense of guilt and responsibility for the injustices African Americans still suffer today. Not abstract collective responsibility: concrete, personal. But first the abstract. America was built on slave labor. The legacy of that slavery is deprivation for many black families even now, seven generations after emancipation. Moral white Americans have an obligation to help undo the harm America's original sin has done to our fellow countrymen and our country.
But that's abstract, and I keep thinking of the personal. Of my white Texas family's history. I know they were racist, but just how bad were they? Were they slave owners? Lynchers?
The particular cruelty in my family's history I'd like to understand better is the murder by lynching of Ted Smith in Greenville Texas on July 28, 1908. I know the date because there's a souvenir postcard (warning; image of burned dead man). White people in the early 1900s were so proud of lynching black men there were frequently postcards.
My great-grandparents lived in Greenville in 1908. White people, town folks, he was an educated professional. Was he at the lynching? Did he approve? Are they in the crowd in that postcard? I got thinking about these questions after reading an article about the lynching of Leo Frank in Georgia. They made souvenir postcards too. One thing the article notes is that in 2000, someone made a list of some of the lynching participants. I wonder if such a list could be made for Greenville? Would my great grandparents be on it?
The motto of Greenville, TX was The Blackest Land, the Whitest People. They displayed that proudly on a banner over the center of town through the 1960s. These are my people.
Adapted from a Metafilter comment
The Louvre is one of the world's great museums. It is enormous and full of riches and totally worth several repeated visits. I particularly like the sculpture, but I discover something new every time. The Louvre is also a poorly designed tourist experience. Some notes below on making it better.
My discovery this last visit was the Marie de Medici cycle. Phenomenal series of 24 enormous Rubens paintings of the life of Marie de Medici, commissioned by Marie herself in 1622 for the Palais du Luxembourg. It's painting on a scale that can only exist in a place like the Louvre. The story they tell is fascinating, you could spend a whole day looking at these paintings with Wikipedia's competent explanation. Long story short she married the King of France and took over as regent when he died. When her son wrested power from her she was exiled. Part of her securing her legacy was having Rubens make these elegiac paintings telling her side of the story. They're particularly unusual in that it's a woman being lionized. They are fascinating. And being Rubens, they are amazingly well executed.
My other discovery at the Louvre was how difficult it is to get inside the door because of the security theater. This article describes your options. The tacky Carousel de Louvre mall seems best. While it only has a single security line, it has fewer visitors. The fancy main entrance is an hour+ disaster, the Porte des Lions is often unstaffed, and the Rue Richelieu entrance requires a hard-to-buy advance ticket. Past security, the fastest way to get a ticket is from an automated machine. Don't follow the sheep; look for the machines without a line.
Once inside the Louvre not everything is available; rooms are regularly closed. Why? Hard to say, but much of it appears to be staffing. Also be sure to check the Louvre is open at all; sometimes some part of the staff goes on strike and the whole museum is closed.
One should approach the Louvre with a plan but I never manage. "Avoid the crowds" is a good heuristic; the Mona Lisa is lovely but the experience of shoving in to see it is not. This time I amused myself taking bad snapshots of painting details: one and two. Next time I should finally get to their ancient Egypt collection.
One last thing: a plan for lunch. You need a break. Unfortunately there is no longer a good proper restaurant in the museum, just some mediocre cafeteria options. We did well heading outside to the Brasserie du Louvre, surprisingly well really. Best salade niçoise I've had in awhile.
There's two kinds of cucumber pickle in the world: fermented and vinegar. Vinegar pickles are what you generally see in the grocery store, the Claussens and Vlasics. They're not bad but they are awfully salty and the industrial vinegar is not a very good flavor. Fermented pickles are made without vinegar. Instead the vegetable is salted and then fermented to encourage lactic acid bacteria, which makes the pickles sour.
Sonoma Brinery makes an exceptionally good fermented pickle. They're available in grocery stores in the US west, sold refrigerated. And while they're not cheap at about $1 a large pickle they are delicious. Great flavor and good snap. They call them "half-sour". They have a pleasant sour taste but it's subdued, also the salt level is quite low. The result is a mild, fresh tasting pickle, something I much prefer to Bubbie's intensely sour and salty fermented pickles. Sonoma Brinery's fresh sauerkraut is also delicious.
Fermented foods are newly trendy thanks to the probiotic food fad (move over, gluten free). I could care less about the fake food science but I am glad that fermented flavors are more widely available in grocery stores. I'm not a fan of kombucha, too expensive and too sweet. But sauerkraut, kimchi, etc are delicious. I've started trying to ferment my own things now with Sandor Katz's excellent book.
Ken and I went to India in February, a three week wealthy tourist's trip. Absolutely loved it, would like to go back, enthusiastically recommended it. I documented most of the trip on Twitter as I went. I collected all the tweets in a Storify page; quite readable with lots of photos.
Our trip started in Delhi. From there we took a luxury tourist train through Rajastan for seven days to Mumbai. Then flew to Kolkata, then to Varanasi, then back through Delhi to home. So many amazing experiences. Some tourist sites that stuck with me most are the Qutb Minar in Delhi, the Jantar Mantar observatory in Jaipur, the Elephanta Caves in Mumbai, the Marble Palace in Kolkata, and offerings to Shiva in Varanasi.
But what really struck with me is newfound respect for the sophistication of India. I had no idea what to expect. India is an enormous place. With a very rich and complex cultural history and a colonial period that was not entirely rapacious. Modern India is a dynamic, exciting, upwardly mobile place. With nearly 1.3 billion people. We all know China is the up-and-coming economic story but India is close behind it. I met a lot of Indians with pride, pride in their cultural history, in their intellectual history, in their new prime minister.
On a more mundane level I also came away with excitement for the diversity of Indian cuisine. The Indian food we get in the US is one specific type of cuisine: Mughlai, butter and cream and earthy rich flavors. But there's a huge variety of other foods. Coconut milk in South Indian cuisine, sour fruits and shellfish in Kerala cuisine, strong mustard sauces in Bengali food. A particularly great day was cooking lessons in Delhi with the author of a Chettinad cookbook. There's a lifetime of technique to learn just in the art of tadka, the way spices are precisely roasted or fried at various moments in preparation.
Johnny Reb was my school's mascot. A big goofy fiberglass Confederate soldier. The school nickname was "The Rebels" and my hazy memory is the Confederate battle flag was occasionally used as decorative color. This seemed perfectly normal in Houston, Texas in the 1980s. Part of our Southern Heritage.
Young kids are blameless in this kind of thing, victims of indoctrination. By the time we got old enough for high school a lot of us found the racist association embarassing. A year after I graduated the upper class voted to change the mascot and banish any symbols of the Confederacy. (Which may or may not have had anything to do with the school also hiring its first African American teacher.) It took another 14 years before they changed the name from "Rebels" entirely.
I went to a great prep school and am thankful for the excellent education I got there. But only recently have I understood how white privilege helped gain me access to that education. SJS was not overtly racist or discriminatory. It just perpetuated (and still perpetuates) the advantages of whites. It is part of the legacy of one of the two Original Sins of America, the societal damage still extant six generations after the end of slavery.
South Carolina's use of the Confederate battle flag is controversial again this week. The defense that the flag symbolizes Southern Heritage is sincere, which is what makes endemic racism so dangerous. The Confederate flag represents the South's pride in slavery, treason, and victimhood. That flag is a hateful thing, deliberately hateful.
Here is a record of my visit to the Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York. There were 22 objects I liked enough to collect and I made 3 things myself. (Favorites: poster, staircase model.) I will be able to remember these things forever because of The Pen.
The Pen is a new thing at the Cooper Hewitt. My buddy Aaron Straup Cope was one of its creators. It's pretty simple to use. When you visit the museum they loan you a fancy digital pin, on a lanyard. You point it at the labels for objects you like. You can also use it to design things on big computer screen tables. When you're done you can visit the website on your ticket any time to see your collection. Unlike 90% of fancy museum technologies, this one actually works. It's used a lot. It's designed to keep working for many years.
Aaron and his colaborator Seb Chan wrote a very long essay on the design of The Pen. It's totally worth reading if you are interested in this kind of technology. But for the tl;dr crowd, a few key points.
The impressive thing to me is how simply all the tech worked without requiring you to understand or learn it. I wasn't too excited about the design-your-own-objects part, but the tool for remembering the stuff I liked was excellent. I do wonder if there's a simpler way to just build the collection product, something between this fancy three year project and simply adding some ugly QR-code stickers. Any new system designed for a museum will be well informed by The Pen.
I've gotten competent at making pizza at home. It's an easy versatile meal, 15 minutes prep time once you have the dough. I tend to make a sort of puttanesca pizza: capers, olives, anchovies, sauce from a jar (the shame) and some salami. Today was turkey leftover pizza with white sauce, I regret being too timid to try cranberry sauce after baking.
My go-to cookbook is American Pie, specifically the "neo-Neapolitan" dough variant. I'll make a batch of 5 servings of dough and freeze 4. A stand mixer is a huge help, the dough is very glutenous. I recently learned slicing the mozzerella works better than grating, and so much easier. The dough takes time to ferment, thaw, etc but not much active work.
The challenge of home pizza is our ovens don't go over 550°F. I get decent results in a home oven on a pizza stone, but Ken just got a Baking Steel from Sur la Table so I gave that a shot. It definitely cooks faster and chars the crust more; too much so, the bottom was about to burn before the edge was fully baked. The steel is heavy, rusts, and needs seasoning like a cast iron skillet. I'm not sure it's a huge improvement over a clay tile.
Neapolitan-style pizza dough is pretty tempermental. For something different and foolproof this pan pizza recipe works pretty well. A no-knead dough sort of fried up in a cast iron skillet in the oven. It's not elegant, more of a fast-food style pizza, but it's delicious and fresh and that is its own reward.
Uber's sure in a shitstorm now. On top of the long standing questions about their treatment of drivers, insurance, regulatory issues, etc they've shot themselves in the foot twice this week with ethical lapses. Once with an executive proposing doing "opposition research" on a journalist to discredit her, and again with troubling concerns about the privacy of rider records. I love the Uber product, but it's clear the company has a serious problem.
Google's "Don't be Evil" policy was a valuable guiding principle for us. It was a shorthand for not doing things that were obviously unethical. Uber needs that. "Should we offer our drivers shady subprime loans?" Of course not, that'd be evil. "Should we poach Lyft drivers without worrying how it screws up their ride dispatch?" No, don't be evil. There's reasonable debate about exactly what is ethical or acceptable. For instance I'm 100% fine with Uber throwing elbows at corrupt cab companies. But the overriding principle needs to be acting ethically or else you end up with the shitstorm Uber has.
Uber's problem appears to be at the top with Travis Kalanick, the founder and CEO. He's set the company on an aggressive libertarian path and it's ugly. (I'm also struck by Kalanick's early founder role with Scour, a late-90's product for pirating music from unwitting people's unsecured Windows computers.) It may be that a lack of ethics is in the company's DNA.
I love Uber, but a transportation product like theirs is a natural monopoly and Uber is showing themselves untrustworthy. I'm beginning to share the pessimistic view of Metafilter user rhizome that "the taxi industry is so corrupt that any organization that would unseat them has to be just as bad". It shouldn't be that way, Uber could do better.

In Google Docs, when I insert a table, there seem to be always a blank line above the table. See the screenshot below.

In Google Docs, when I insert a table, there seem to be always a blank line above the table. See the screenshot below.
How do I prevent that?
This behaviour is by design and as far I am aware cannot be changed via preferences etc.
You can submit suggestions to Google Docs if you feel that you have a good case for it to be changed.
You can reduce the gap at the top of a table by placing the cursor above the table, and reducing the font size. I can't seem to reduce it below 6 points, and even this required me to type the number into the "Font size" box. However, it does at least move the table up a bit.
I had to do the same thing at the bottom of my table.
If anybody wants to log this with Google as a bug, then they could describe it as a serious bug in the conversion from docx to Google Docs format. It is serious because it does not seem to be possible to edit it out manually—at least not completely.
If you don't like the extra whitespace, just delete any extra carriage returns after the table of contents object.
For example, select some text within the first line after the table of contents, click Format → Line spacing and select Remove space before paragraph.
If your table is on the top of the page and every page contains a table you could reduce the margin of the complete document by the height of that first line.
It is just your cursor that is above the table. If you move it, it will not be there anymore.

i have a server with apache2.2 hosting multiple virtualhosts, with a handful of domains containing a keyword(eg. "foo123") all being rewritten/redirected to another one of my hosted domains. all my other domains work as expected.
the problem is that i can't find this elusive rule anywhere.
i've checked:
my apache2.conf (multiple times)
httpd.conf (empty)
each site's config in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled & sites-available
each site's .htaccess file under /var/www/
/etc/apache2 recursively with grep (also by hand with nano)
/var/www recursively with grep
/etc/php5 recursively with grep (just to be sure)
i also checked my dns records on my host's control panel, as well as tried debugging with apache's RewriteLog(set at 4, then 9) enabled, but no such luck.
am i missing something?

How can I get qmail to work with both an smtp whitelist and smtp authentication?
If my IP is whitelisted, SMTP authentication does not seem to work (error: "the server does not support SMTP password authentication). This is particularly annoying when using our SMTP server on a roaming device, eg. an iPhone.
As soon as the iPhone is not using the whitelisted IP (ie. not in the office, but over 3G), then SMTP authentication works fine.

Finntroll admirers, come here :)
March 1997. Alcohol, rehearsal room and two men, respectively known as Somnium and Katla. While usually bands are formed on purpose, the birth of Finntroll was more like series of unfortunate events: thus, enter traditional Finnish hoedown- music, "humppa", mixed with folky black metal. Since those drunken first chords, the concept of Finntroll was born.
A year later the two gentlemen recorded their first demo, entitled as "Rivfader". This obscure tape circled within the underground scene with astonishing success and eventually, drifted into the hands of Spikefarm records who were more than interested in giving the Trolls a record deal. Very soon, accompanying musicians stepped in. Drummer B.Dominator (Barathrum), another guitarist Skrymer, keyboardist Trollhorn (Moonsorrow) and bassist Tundra were now officially part of the Trollish Horde, and in summer 1999 they started to mold their first album, "Midnattens Windunder"- "The Horrors of Midnight".
After the release of the first album in autumn 1999, Finntroll spent most of their time composing new music, but on stage as well. The band toured across Finland and even made their first appearance abroad at Party- San Open Air festival, Germany. More alcohol was consumed and in april 2001 the band excitedly travelled to record their second album, "Jaktens Tid", ("The Time of the Hunt") at Walltone studios again. The album got great reviews all over the world and was praised by countless of people, taking the 20th place in the Finnish album charts by storm, surprising both the band and the label.
Finntroll performed countless of gigs in different countries and festivals, thousands of albums were sold and things were looking really good. Until spring 2002, when the trouble started. Katla began to have problems with his vocal cords, and lost his voice more and more often, and the band had to cancel many live appearances and even one tour because of that. He went through surgical and medicinal treatment, but nothing helped- it seemed that the Chief Troll had lost his voice once and for all. After a hard decision, he decided to step away from the frontman´s seat at late 2002 and let the new singer, Wilska, to take care of the duties. As a farewell, Katla participated on the album "Visor om Slutet" ("Songs of the End"), which was an acoustic/ experimental EP the band recorded by themselves at a cottage in a forest in february 2003.
But little was the band knowing about farewells, as the biggest was yet to come. Just a couple of weeks after finishing the recordings of "Visor om Slutet", Somnium fell down from a bridge and was later that night taken to the Halls of Rivfader. Not being far away from splitting up, the band took a small break to carefully inspect the past and the future- and after brief thinking and discussing they realized that quitting would be an insult to not only Somnium´s wishes but also what they all had musically achieved together, and decided to continue despite of everything they had faced during these two years of misfortune. Somnium´s legacy was continued by the new guitarist Routa, a long- time friend and a trusty step- in guitarist from before, and the band hit their first European tour by supporting Katatonia.
Autumn 2003. There is no way you can stop a Troll when he´s pissed enough. And this troll was: hungry for a retribution, blood tasting in it´s mouth, ready to rip and slaughter… and laugh on the top of the carnage. The band enters Sundi Coop (ex- Walltone) studios again to record the newest audial katharsis called "Nattfödd" ("Night- born"). In the process, they also record material for the upcoming EP, "Trollhammaren" ("The Trollhammer"). New material is more furious yet catchy and punky than ever, and shows people that these Trolls refuse not to be controlled by any fate given, but will rage further on, no matter what they face. And the audience sees it is for good: the album proves to be a success and the band hits the road again to tour Europe and even USA. Sold- out shows and festival headliner- slots aren´t just weird curiosities anymore, and the band keeps promoting itself across the world with extremely good results.
In the beginning of the year 2006 Anno Bastardi, almost two years have passed since the release of "Nattfödd". After countless gigs and promotion, the band really feels to start composing new material for the next album. Unfortunately, they feel that it has to be done without Wilska, and decide to let him go due to personal, yet publicly unnamed reasons. The band is once again without a permanent vocalist, and starts looking for a new one. And suddenly, fate steps in and his name is Vreth. Being known from such bands as Twilight Moon and Chthonian, he takes the position by such a fury it´s only possible to a native Troll, and leaves a bloody aftertaste to the audience´s mouth. The band feels more whole than for a long time, and starts eagerly to write new material.
In september 2006, the band entered Sonic Pump studios in Helsinki to record their newest offering, entitled as "Ur Jordens Djup", "From the Depths of the Earth". The new material is more varied, more crushing and better than ever, and there is no doubt that it is the best Finntroll album to date. In the ten years of it´s existence, Finntroll has grown from a band that people laughed at into a band which sells tens of thousands of albums, tours sold- out venues across Europe, co- headlines Wacken Open Air and has zillions of imitators……but we all know that with this certain musical and lyrical approach, there can be only one predecessor, and that is FINNTROLL.
So, hide your daughters, kegs of rum and men of God, for the Trolls from up North are coming to you!

This survey is for practicum sites to provide information about themselves. At UFV we are very interested in continuing our strong ties to the community (in this case, the many communities in which we place our students). The information we are asking for is basic contact information and brief descriptions of the kind of work a Child and Youth Care student can expect to experience in each placement. It will allow students to explore the possibilities for thier practicum placements as they anticipate an appropriate placement for themselves.
All of the information you provide is optional. If there are portions you wish to skip for any reason, then that is just fine. We appreciate your information since it provides our students with valuable information about the Child and Youth Care field they are studying. Students are asked to not make direct contact with practicum sites unless they are directed to do so by faculty.

Our old Trac installation was running version 0.11.5. We have just upgraded to 0.12.3 (rc1). On the old installation we had a custom textarea field for entering additional info separate from the description. I have recreated that field in 0.12.3.
In 0.11.5 it used to span both columns of the ticket. In 0.12.3 it takes up only one column. Some searching revealed some tickets and discussion about layout, but more complex than what I'm talking about.
How can I make a textarea span both columns like it did in 0.11.5?

La Ultima Latino Film Series: Tony Manero
La Peña
Thursday, June 28, 2012 at 7:00 PM (PDT)
Event Details
Due to circumstances beyond our control the film Post Mortem will not be screened tonight. In its place the Latino Film Festival will show Tony Manero, an acclaimed film by the same director, Pablo Larrain. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.
Tony Manero by Pablo Larrain. 2008 Chile 98min. Starring Alfredo Castro.
"Over the years "Saturday Night Fever" has meant a lot of different things to a lot of different people. But the Chilean director Pablo Larraín is probably the first to have been inspired to use that 1970s disco drama as a device to dissect the abusive dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet, as he does in his new film, "Tony Manero."
Released in Chile in 2008, "Tony Manero" was first shown in the United States at the New York Film Festival last fall. The festival's program director, Richard Peña, said the film appealed to him because of its ability to convey "the feeling, the texture and tactile sense of life during that time" and its complicated and nuanced view of American pop culture ... 'Saturday Night Fever' becomes a strange double-edged sword," Mr. Peña said. "On the one hand it is free and easy and democratic and represents freedom and masculine flamboyance. But it also comes from America, which is seen as being at the root of the problem, behind the overthrow of Allende and the installation of Pinochet." Excerpts from the NY Times film review. Published: July 2, 2009.
Preceded by the short Pax America (Joana Lima Martins, USA, 2011, 9min.)
