Arsenal 3 Blackburn Rovers 0
PREACHING FROM THE MORAL HIGH ground cannot come naturally to Arsenal, a team whose recent past has been shrouded in red mist and red cards, flying elbows and even flying pizzas. Their sense of indignation grew with every Blackburn Rovers challenge on Saturday as this FA Cup semi-final was reduced at times to a gruesome spectacle, yet they knew that outright condemnation of their opponents' strong-arm tactics would leave them open to accusations of hypocrisy.
There were cross words about Andy Todd, the Blackburn captain, whose forearm smash on Robin van Persie will be scrutinised by the FA's disciplinary department,

Making A Better Internet
- By Rian van der Merwe
- September 14th, 2012
- 30 Comments
My relationship with the Internet oscillates between waves of euphoria and waves of angst. Some things make me extraordinarily happy: like a client who loves usability testing so much when they first experience it that they can't sleep for days; or connecting with someone whose writing I've admired for many years.
But other things make me want to close my computer forever and go live on a farm somewhere: like people who take entire articles and present them as their own work, with tiny source links at the bottom of the page; or endless arguments and name-calling that ignore even the most basic human dignity.
We are capable of such great things, yet we somehow can't resist the temptation to tear others apart. There is, perhaps, no better depiction of the current state of the Internet than xkcd's "Duty Calls1":
Duty Calls by Randall Munroe3.
In this essay, I'll weave together a story about the current state of Internet discourse. At the end, I'll tell you how I think we can make it better. And then, we'll most likely all go back to what we were doing and forget about it. Despite the probable futility of this exercise, I'll carry it out anyway, because I love the Web and I really don't want us to destroy it.
Act 1: The Lap Dancer Link
Paul Ford's "The Web Is a Customer Service Medium4" is one of the most important essays of our time. Towards the end, he explains how, in April 2010, the Daily Mail "reported5" that "computer tycoon Sir Clive Sinclair, 69, has secretly married his lap dancer fiancee Angie Bowness, who is 36 years his junior." The appropriate response to this type of story is an overwhelming "Who cares?", but that's obviously not what happened. A lot of blogs wrote about it, and the comment sections are sights to behold. Below one of the accounts6, a commenter posted the following image in response:
It's at this point that we need to pick up Paul's essay8 for his response:
Consider what that cartoon means in that context: It implies that the commenter feels — with some irony and self-awareness, I'm sure — that his opinion, in some way, is relevant to the question of whether Clive Sinclair should marry a particular woman. This is, for many obvious reasons, completely insane. And yet there was an image already sketched and available to that commenter so that he could express this exact sentiment of choosing not to be outraged at a situation he read about on the Internet.
Paul has a phrase for this, a phrase that has shaped my view of the Internet ever since I first read it. He calls this phenomenon "Why Wasn't I Consulted?" or WWIC. It's the fuel that powers the Internet — the insatiable desire to be heard, to make your opinion known, to be understood. It's the new scribbling "[X] was here" on tree trunks. We read, we share, we "curate," we post pithy statements and ask people to "Like if you agree!!1!" Lest we spend a day not being noticed.
Act 2: The Bottom Half Link
On 6 August 2012, South African news website IOL posted an article titled "How ANCYL Plans to Shut Down Cape9." Things got a little out of hand, as they usually do on news websites, until the editors deleted all comments and posted the following notice: "IOL has closed comments on this story due to the high volume of racist and/or derogatory comments." A friend noted that they should probably just hardcode that sentence into the footer.
A search for the origin of the well-known phrase "Never read the bottom half of the Internet" led me to Sophie Heawood10, who told me11 that she first used it in an article for The Independent a couple of years ago. The first online reference we could find is in her article "Save Dappy From the Venom of the Anonymous12":
What surprises me the most about the bottom half of the internet, that place where all the angry comments go, is that so many of the people writing them turn out not to be rabid murderers but ordinary mild people who casually fire off drive-by verbal shootings in their lunch breaks.
A friend of Sophie's and fellow journalist for The Independent, Grace Dent13, told me14 that she often quotes the phrase as follows: "Never read the bottom half of the Internet; it's where the sediment lies."
If you've spent any time reading comments on YouTube, you'll most likely agree with this — in theory. Unfortunately, our need to be consulted about everything is a perfect match for our morbid fascination with what others are doing with their need to be consulted. It's a viscous, self-feeding downward cycle. I often wish that we could adopt this rule from Thomas More's Utopia15:
There's a rule in the Council that no resolution can be debated on the day that it's first proposed. Otherwise someone's liable to say the first thing that comes into his head, and then start thinking up arguments to justify what he has said, instead of trying to decide what's best for the community.
Instead, many of us turn off comments on our own websites instead. It's not a great solution, but it's better than losing sleep because of personal attacks and a general sense of meanness towards something you've spent a lot of time creating.
Act 3: Turtles, Turtles, Everywhere Link
A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: "What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise." The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, "What is the tortoise standing on?" "You're very clever, young man, very clever," said the old lady. "But it's turtles all the way down!"
This story, as related by Stephen Hawking in A Brief History of Time16, is well known and has entered popular Internet culture in many different ways, from Dr. Seuss17, to Stephen King's Dark Tower18, and even as an achievement in World of Warcraft19. But it's Frank Chimero who brought this story to the design world in his essay for The Manual20 titled "The Space Between You and Me":
Frank goes on to explain the irony of social media. Social networking websites were created to connect us to each other, and yet they reduce us to a two-dimensional avatar, a short bio and a list of books and movies we like. We're so quick to throw around the word "empathy" as being essential to the work we do, and yet we know frighteningly little not just about the people who use our products, but even about the people who we think we have close relationships with online.
Based on its almost 10 million page views, I'm pretty sure everyone has seen this photograph of a man giving his shoes to a homeless girl in Rio de Janeiro, from BuzzFeed's "21 Pictures That Will Restore Your Faith in Humanity22":
That's empathy — a quite literal interpretation of Atticus's reminder in To Kill a Mockingbird24 that we need to walk in someone else's shoes before we judge them. It's people all the way down, and social media websites are making us forget this by abstracting a person's "brand" from who they really are.
So, How Do We Make A Better Internet? Link
In a fit of uncharacteristic optimism, I'd like to propose three ways in which we could make a better Internet. I need to do this before the feeling passes, so let's get to it.
I know it sounds strange, but not saying something every once in a while is OK. In what some are calling the best social media policy ever written, Benjamin Franklin once said:
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
It's tough, but it can be done. The other day, as I stopped at a red traffic light, one of South Africa's characteristically dangerous taxi drivers came up from behind and swerved around me so that they could run the red light. I was infuriated, but at that point I'd already started thinking about this essay, so I decided not to tweet about it. And then I instantly wanted someone to give me a high five for my remarkable show of restraint. How insane is that? Sometimes, it's WWIC all the way down as well.
We must resist the temptation to feel entitled to be consulted on everything that happens around us.
A few weeks ago, the Mars Rover made a perfect landing, and at least for a few minutes, the Internet rejoiced with tweets like these:
"And Mission, with that, I'd like to break open the peanuts." "You're go to break open the peanuts, flight."I LOVE YOU SPACE NERDS.

An advanced piece of MAN MADE tech is hurtling towards another PLANET to send back new information. And is tweeting. Science f'ing ROCKS.
— Alex Charchar (@retinart) August 6, 201230
We quickly went back to complaining about other people's jokes and reactions to the event. But wow! — for a while there, I saw how awesome, encouraging and funny we can be when we pull together to amplify the good things around us.
We don't have to link to hate speech and angry rants. The best way to stop that behavior is to send traffic elsewhere. We also don't have to go trolling every time we need a little excitement in our lives. Instead, make and share good things. Be nice. If someone does something good, help them spread the word about it.
I'm pretty sure everyone's read Jack Cheng's "The Slow Web" by now, in which he sums up the problem with the environment that we've created:
What is the Fast Web? It's the out of control web. The oh my god there's so much stuff and I can't possibly keep up web. It's the spend two dozen times a day checking web. The in one end out the other web. The web designed to appeal to the basest of our intellectual palettes, the salt, sugar and fat of online content web. […] The Fast Web is a cruel wonderland of shiny shiny things.
Contrast that with what Patrick Rhone says in his essay "Twalden32":
The things I want to know are "happening" — like good news about a friend's success, or bad news about their relationship, or even just the fact they are eating a sandwich and the conversation around such — I wish to have at length and without distraction. Such conversations remain best when done directly, and there are plenty of existing and better communication methods for that.
Having conversations "at length and without distraction" — what a novel concept.
But let's bring this full circle, all the way back to Paul Ford. In the closing keynote at the 2012 MFA Interaction Design Festival33, he said the following:
If we are going to ask people, in the form of our products, in the form of the things we make, to spend their heartbeats on us, on our ideas, how can we be sure, far more sure than we are now, that they spend those heartbeats wisely?
I'm not saying we should shun the Fast Web and all make Instapaper clones. The Fast Web has its place. I'm also not saying we should quit Twitter. But I do, with all my heart, believe that we — designers and developers — are the ones who are responsible for making a better Internet. And that means we are responsible for how other people spend their time.
We can either take it easy and play to WWIC and bottom-half-of-the-Internet culture, or we can do it the hard way and think carefully about the meaning of the things we make and share. We can choose to ignore our darker tendencies and instead take responsibility for our users and how we ask them to spend their heartbeats. We can shift the flow of traffic away from the bottom half, all the way to the top.

Passing form data to a success page
- Status Closed
- Budget £20 - £250 GBP
- Total Bids 11
Project Description
My site uses WordPress and contains a contact form built using the WordPress plugin CFormsII.
I have a requirement to pass the value of a hidden field to a custom success page. The hidden field contains a unique ID. The unique ID is created from the PHP function microtime.
I have already created a variable for the unique ID derived from microtime and created the hidden field with the this variable as the value.
When a form is submitted on my site, the data is sent to a third party via the built-in mail function of the CFormsII plugin, the user is then directed to my custom success page.
My custom success page contains an iframe to the third-party system which needs to contain the unique ID from the hidden field in the url to ensure the correct data is returned in the iframe to the user.
The following page mentions how to pass user data but doesn't go into the exacts:
[url removed, login to view]
I require coding to be done to ensure the form data (specifically the hidden field above) is passed to my success page (which is a WordPress page) so that the iframe can use the hidden field value as a variable in the url.
Please note: The form submitting data to third party via the mail function must remain in tact.

Rusty Roof Replacement - 1968 Cougar
If you have an old car that came with a vinyl top, chances are that you have some rust issues in the roof. This was the case with Andrew's car - a 1968 Mercury Cougar that his grandparents bought brand new in '68. In this video, Andrew takes matters into his own hands to replace his rusted roof skin with a solid donor roof from another car. He is by no means a restoration expert, just an amateur trying to save some money and save his car. Need a roof or other body panels for your classic Cougar? West Coast Classic Cougar has it all. Check us out at http://www.cougarpartscatalog.com or give us a call at (503) 463-1130 . (c) 2011 West Coast Classic Cougar, Inc. Music in the video is from royalty-free sources, except for the Toccata and Fugue in D (used during the brief B&W horror sequence). Performed by Peter Hurford. An advertisement appears on this video in order to pay royalties to the copyright holder, not for our own gain.
Drum to Disc Brake Conversion - 1968 Cougar / Mustang
A majority of these classic 60's cars came with manual drum brakes from the factory, which was fine when most of the other cars on the road also had manual drums. But in today's world, stopping distances are much shorter, and antiquated drum brakes are a real safety hazard when driving alongside modern cars. That's why converting to power disc brakes is a no-brainer to us. In this video, Andrew uses the factory power disc brake components from a 1970 Cougar to convert his 1968. The important thing to remember when doing this is to take the whole system in its entirety, and not to mix-and-match parts from different years. The 1970 brake pedal needs to be used with the 1970 Booster, and so on. The conversion shown in this video is just one of the possible routes you can take. We like using factory Ford parts when possible, rather than aftermarket kits, but that's our opinion. Most of the parts used in this video can be found here: http://www2.cougarpartscatalog.com/podibr.html?pi=3

Don Lemon Defends SNL Writer: 'She's a Comedian, Not a Civil Rights Worker'
CNN's Don Lemon defended "Saturday Night Live" writer Leslie Jones' jokes about slavery on "Weekend Update," saying she "shouldn't have to carry the collective burden of black people on her shoulders."
He also agreed with Jones that some African-Americans were overreacting.
"Leslie Jones responded by saying that black people were too sensitive sometimes," he said. "In this case, she is right."
Jones, who is six feet tall, joked during a routine that "back in the slave days" she would have been more sought after than Lupita Nyong'o. "I would be the number one slave draft pick," she said.
Some on Twitter said the routine was offensive. Lemon disagreed.
"For almost all of last year, people were on a tear, complaining about diversity, asking where are the sisters on 'SNL,'" he said. "And now that there are some on there, you complain about her material."
He said she deserves the same freedom "the rest of the cast has — the freedom to learn. The freedom to grow. The freedom to make mistakes."
"She shouldn't have to carry the collective burden of all black people on her shoulders. She's a comedian, not a civil rights worker," he added.
"Leslie Jones, ignore the haters," he concluded. "The loudest voices on Twitter aren't necessarily the majority. Do your thing. Kick ass and take names."

Fourth-quarter surge lifts Marathon to Division 4 title
Madison – Cody Hanke looked at the clock midway through the fourth quarter and knew that time was running out on his prep career — and his dreams of walking off the floor a champion.
So the Marathon senior made his final minutes count.
Hanke had 24 points, nine rebounds and five steals and keyed a decisive run in the final period as the Red Raiders defeated Grantsburg 52-43 in the Division 4 title game at the WIAA state boys' basketball tournament Saturday. With the win Marathon claimed its first state title since winning three straight Class C crowns from 1975-77.
"We realized that this is our last game and if we don't turn it up now, it's not going to happen," Hanke said. "We got a spark and we just went with it."
The spark came from Marathon's 6-foot-3 center, who had an assist and two baskets as the Red Raiders (27-1) built a lead they wouldn't relinquish with just under 4 minutes to play.
Hanke passed out of a double-team to Cedric Lechleitner, who scored in the lane to give Marathon a 43-41 lead with 3:39 left. The basket was the first of five straight shots made by the Red Raiders, who were 6-of-7 from the field in the fourth quarter.
Brody Hurtis sparked an 11-0 Marathon run earlier in the quarter with a 3-pointer that tied the game at 41, and then Hanke took over. After the assist to Lechleitner, Hanke scored in the paint and had a breakaway dunk in front of the Marathon student section that prompted a roar from the crowd.
Lechleitner and Koleman Schilling each added buckets as the Red Raiders took a 49-41 lead with 1:47 left.
"It just kind of unraveled there," Grantsburg coach Nick Hallberg said. "It just kind of happened so fast."
Brent Myers scored 19 points and Trevor Thompson had 18 for Grantsburg (22-6), which put together an 8-0 run in the second quarter and forced Marathon to make halftime adjustments to combat the Pirates' outside shooting.
"They're not extremely talented, but they're like the little dog that hangs onto your pant leg and just doesn't let go and just drives you nuts because you can't shag them," Red Raiders coach Jeff Reiche said.
Myers had 16 points in the first half. His lone second-half basket was a 3-pointer on the Pirates' first possession of the fourth quarter that gave his team a 41-38 lead.
Grantsburg, which was just 3 of 20 from the field after the break, missed all eight field-goal attempts after that.
"We had some looks there that we could have hit. You hit those shots and the game ... everything kind of changes," Hallberg said. "Maybe we get the one big possession and the one big shot and maybe we have the gold ball and not the silver."

Xilinx provides a market leading DPD solution that reduces CapEx and OpEx
Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) is one of the most fundamental building blocks in wireless communication systems today. It is used to increase the efficiency of Power Amplifiers. By reducing the distortion created by running Power Amplifiers in their non-linear regions, Power Amplifiers can be made to be far more efficient. Wireless base stations not employing CFR or DPD algorithms typically exhibit low efficiency, and therefore high operational and capital equipment costs. A typical Class AB LDMOS Power Amplifier with WCDMA waveforms may have approximately 8-15% efficiency. With CFR and DPD turned on, this efficiency can grow to as much as 30-40%, resulting in tremendous savings in CapEx and OpEx for network operators. With later generations of Power Amplifier design leveraging Doherty architectures, efficiencies in the 40%+ range with Xilinx DPD are possible.
The Xilinx DPD core reduces implementation time by providing a high performance DPD solution to customers as a parameterizable core rather than one that needs to be customized by hand. Furthermore, Xilinx DPD is tuned for implementation in Xilinx FPGAs, resulting in a very small FPGA footprint and the lowest cost FPGA solution available today.
Xilinx DPD v8.0 supports the following air interface standards:

The retailer will begin using location-based mobile technology for offers on smartphones.
Best Buy Co. Inc. will begin a mobile experiment tomorrow, bringing the location-based shopkick mobile app rewards system to 187 U.S. stores, with an additional 70 locations to get the system by Oct. 1. Best Buy, which operates 1,089 stores nationwide, will examine the ways in-store shoppers value and redeem offers and rewards through their smartphones.
"We think consumers have more opportunities than ever to bridge their digital and physical shopping experiences, particularly through smartphones and mobile technology," says Matthew Smith, Best Buy vice president of marketing services. "We intend to explore ways we can use the power of location-based technology to personalize a Best Buy shopping experience, from check-in to checkout, with rewards and offers delivered right on a customer's smartphone."
A Best Buy customer using a smartphone running the iPhone or Android operating systems can download the free mobile app created by shopkick. When the shopkick app is open on the customer's phone, it detects shopkick's signal technology installed in the participating Best Buy stores as the customer walks through the door. The customer instantly receives rewards, called "kickbucks," which can be accrued over time, then redeemed in the store or converted into Best Buy certificates through a user's shopkick account.
Additionally, Best Buy, No. 10 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, has integrated shopkick directly into its point-of-sale system to streamline the redemption of special in-store offers and added bonuses for scanning bar codes of promoted products via the app. The retailer will send those offers to the consumer's phone. Customers may walk up to the cashier, provide the mobile phone number connected to their shopkick account, and have any applicable personalized discounts immediately deducted from what they owe on their purchases.
Unlike many other GPS location-based services, shopkick's technology requires doesn't require a consumer to check in. Instead it detects that a user is present in the retail location, Best Buy says. The privacy of location information is completely under the user's control—he chooses whether to allow location information to be used.
Best Buy intends to run a series of promotions and offers through the stores participating in the experiment as variables to determine how much customers value the experience.

Japan is bracing for a "super typhoon" set to smash into the country with 150mph winds and torrential rain.
Fishermen were filmed winching boats out of the sea on Sunday and people are being warned to stay inside.
Typhoon Neoguri, described as a "once in decade storm", was expected to rip through the Okinawa island chain on Monday, before making landfall on the island of Kyushu as it moves north.
Meteorologists said there had already been gusts over 150mph and the typhoon could get stronger, growing into an "extremely intense" storm by Tuesday.
The Japan Meteorological Agency recorded sustained winds of 110mph on Monday and warned of high tides and lashing rain.
"This storm's characteristic is its strength," one JMA official said, calling on people in Okinawa to evacuate early and take precautions, including staying indoors.

A super typhoon described as a "once in decades storm" was heading north for Japan, set to rake the southern Okinawa island chain with heavy rain and powerful winds before making landfall on Kyushu, Japan's westernmost main island. Typhoon Neoguri was already gusting at more than 250 km an hour (150 mph) and may pick up still more power as it moves north, growing into an "extremely intense" storm, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) said
12/12 Japan

It was not expected to be as strong as Typhoon Haiyan, which killed thousands in the Philippines last year.
Kadena Air Base on Okinawa, which hosts the bulk of the US military presence in Japan, was preparing for damage.
Video: Japan prepares for Typhoon Neoguri
"I can't stress enough how dangerous this typhoon may be when it hits Okinawa," Brigadier General James Hecker wrote on the base's Facebook page. "This is not just another typhoon."
Around two to four typhoons a year make landfall in Japan but they are unusual in July.

The ACC has bid farewell to some outstanding players from 2011. Some of them graduated, others have decided to leave early for the NFL. Whatever their reasons, they left behind some size 15 shoes to fill. Here's a look at who on each team in the ACC will be the most difficult to replace in 2012, and a snapshot of who is or could be next in line to replace him:
Boston College
OUT: Linebacker Luke Kuechly. He might be the most difficult player to replace in the ACC. Kuechly won the 2011 Lombardi Award, given annually to the nation's top lineman or linebacker; the Nagurski Award, given annually to the nation's top defensive player; the Dick Butkus Award, which is presented annually to the nation's top linebacker; and the Lott IMPACT Defensive Player of the Year. He left early for the NFL after finishing his junior season leading the nation in tackles for the second straight year. In 2011, Kuechly set ACC records for tackles in a season (191) and career (532).
IN: It's an open competition, but Sean Duggan played in nine games last year as a true freshman behind Kuechly and on the outside. Duggan had his first career interception at Miami, had three tackles against Virginia Tech and five against Clemson. Coach Frank Spaziani has also said that Steele Divitto is versatile enough to earn the starting job in the middle. Divitto, a junior, won the starting job at outside linebacker when Mark Herzlich left. Last year, Divitto was third on the team in tackles with 72, and finished with 3.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, an interception, and five pass breakups. Spaziani said redshirt freshman Nick Lifka will also be competing for Kuechly's spot.

Hi Gayle
I bought probably close to 150 Spilt Milk last spring and early summer
from a tc lab and I imagine 10-15 reverted that started out ok. Maybe
after awhile they quit doing this. You are right about the green ones
really being fast growers.

Endnight Games' The Forest has had my attention for some time. It looks like a horrifying good time, and not just because it reminds me of a horror game crossover between Cannibal Holocaust and The Descent. A fresh batch of screenshots were released today that showcase the game's creepy indigenous tribespeople whose hobbies seem to include hunting unsuspecting plane crash survivors through dense tropical jungles and hanging upside down from cave ceilings, like eerie bat-people.
For more on The Forest and why it made our list of upcoming horror games you should care about, feel free to follow it on Steam Greenlight.

The Buffalo Bills are the first to strike in the Mario Williams sweepstakes. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Buffalo will meet with Williams Tuesday night.
The AFC East blog predicted Williams would be on Buffalo's wish list weeks ago. The Bills' pass-rush was horrendous last year and Williams can help change that.
The biggest issue is can the Bills close this meeting with a contract? Buffalo has the money and cap space to make Williams one of the NFL's highest-paid players. General manager Buddy Nix said the team won't be afraid to spend to the cap this year.
But Williams will get plenty of interest. The Bills are a losing franchise and in a city that's not desirable for top NFL free agents. The Bills will try to convince Williams tonight to spend possibly the rest of his career in Buffalo and be part of a rebuilding effort before other teams get to make their pitch.

DescriptionJerome Bruner is one of the best-known and most influential psychologists of the twentieth century. His theories about cognitive development dominate psychology around the world today, but it is in the field of education where his influence has been especially felt. In this two volume set, Bruner has selected and assembled his most important writings about education. Volume I spans the twenty years from 1957 to 1978 and Volume II covers 1979 to 2006. Volume II starts with a specially written introduction by Bruner, in which he gives an overview of the 1979-2006 years and contextualises his selection of papers. The articles and chapters then reveal the thinking, the concepts and the empirical research of that time that have made Bruner one of the most respected and cited educational authorities of our time.
