Colorado School of Mines wins TMS Materials Bowl for second straight year
March 1, 2010 – Warrendale, PA (USA) – The Colorado School of Mines (CSM) captured the trophy in the TMS 2010 Alcoa Materials Bowl, sponsored by Alcoa, for the second consecutive year by defeating the Georgia Institute of Technology in a recent competition held during The Mineral, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) Annual Meeting & Exhibition in Seattle, Washington.
The game show-styled knowledge contest pitted students from 12 universities in four eliminations rounds and two semifinals to determine the championship contenders. Students answered both individual and team questions based on the diverse areas of materials science and engineering. This was the fourth year for the TMS Materials Bowl competition.
The CSM team, nicknamed the Orediggers, consisted of Material Advantage students Greg Lehnhoff, Scott Cochran, Rachael Madland and Grant Hudish.
Material Advantage advisor John Speer, professor of metallurgical and materials engineering at CSM, said he was not only proud of his student winners, but also underscored the professional value of participating.
"The Colorado School of Mines' Orediggers were fortunate to defend their title in the 2010 TMS Materials Bowl. We are all proud of their performance in representing the school and their classmates in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, and I know that the students appreciated all of the effort that TMS put into organizing the event," he said. "Hopefully, the Materials Bowl competition will continue in the future so that students and programs from around the country will have the opportunity to maintain a friendly rivalry, and even more importantly, so that students will have the valuable opportunity of participating in an important professional meeting as they are getting close to embarking on their own careers."
In addition to the Colorado School of Mines and Georgia Tech, other competing teams hailed from the University of British Columbia, Boise State University, California Polytechnic State University, the University of Washington, Florida International University, Iowa State University, Washington State University and the University of Idaho.

These are terrible times in the world of Think Tanks. With the advent of Super PACs, rich folks who want to manipulate public opinion no longer have to launder their money through "education"- or "policy"-oriented think tanks. They can just do tens of millions of dollars of media buys on their own, skipping right past think and going straight to tank. Or, rich folks already funding think tanks can decide that they want their toy back from those they hired to pretend to do "education" or "policy," as in the Koch brothers lawsuit to regain total control of the CATO Institute. Or, most tragic, think tanks are actually going bankrupt, like Newt Gingrich's Center for Health Transformation. The thought of those poor Members of the Boards of Trustees or Directors going without their six-figure sinecures and luxury junkets just makes you want to weep, huh?
Well, it made the Trustees of the Institute of Fake Social Science weep, that's for sure. So much so that they called an emergency meeting to see if there was some Joe Paterno-type around that they could fire immediately so that they could look like they hadn't been sitting on their asses all along. Unfortunately for us, the principal scholars at the Institute, the Trustees seem to have heard from some disgruntled grad student about heated and increasing conflict among the top Fake Social Scientists. But fortunately for us, we heard from a disgruntled clerical employee, who slipped us the following confidential document memorializing the Board's plans. In the interests of transparency (or transparent self-interest), we now present that memo:
Board of Trustees of the Institute of Fake Social Science
Minutes of the Emergency Meeting
Trustees only
Do not circulate
Executive staff summarized the dire financial situation facing the Institute in the future. There's no need for alarm yet. Our endowment and annual fund-raising should easily be enough to maintain the Trustees current salary and benefits, including merit bonuses going forward indefinitely for all Trustees and Directors, except the dead ones, whose performances in most instances can be evaluated only as "satisfactory," therefore under our strict standards rendering them ineligible for merit bonuses. But a little cost-cutting couldn't hurt, the Board agreed.
Most of the Board had been entirely unaware that think tank bankruptcy was even possible, having believed the idea was "free money forever, and tax-free to boot," but executive staff patiently explained that the money they collect and disburse still has to balance out even if the Federal government is getting screwed out of its cut.
The Board was made aware, through a reliably disgruntled source, that the principal researchers had posted new polls before having analyzed their previous data collection, an unambiguous violation of their contract. So the Board immediately moved to terminate them, thereby cutting the expense of salary, data collection and overhead. But before the Board could vote, executive staff patiently explained that without scholars with high-falutin' credentials, fund-raising would be virtually impossible, and without somebody to actually do Fake Social Science, the Institute could lose it's tax exemption. Also, executive staff patiently reminded the Board, a large multi-national media corporation, NBC/Universal, had been tricked into paying the principal scholars' salaries as a tax shelter, so the Board didn't control that money anyway. In light of these facts, and after careful deliberation, the Board voted to table the motion to fire the principal Fellows and reserve the contract violation for later blackmail.
Executive staff reported a sudden spike in janitorial expenses, First Aid kit usage, and in office furniture and technology acquisition. When interviewed, Jose reported that the presence of increasing amounts of blood, pulled-out human hair and chunks of skin required not just the usual cleaning but disinfectant, and the cleaning up of smashed furniture, including glass, which is very tricky, and shattered cell phones, computers and televisions, required him to work overtime whenever the principal scholars met to discuss their work-in-progress. The reliably disgruntled source reported that it was pretty much whenever the presidential election came up that the @#%$ hit the fan. After voting to dock executive staff an hour's pay for saying "@#%$" at a Board of Trustees meeting, in light of these facts, and after careful deliberation, the Board voted to have a big line painted through the center of the principal Fellows' office, not to be crossed by either scholar when investigating the 2012 Elections, and to authorize either principal to publish separately on the topic, provided that such publication be approved by the Board in advance.
Other cost-cutting proposals were advanced by the Board, but most of them turned out to be of little value. Executive staff patiently explained that the disgruntled grad students work for free, hoping to make third author, and the interns worked for free too, hoping to make contacts for a real job someday. The only further motion passed by the Board was that clerical staff should henceforth requisition office supplies from the Real Social Science Institute, whose supply closet is at the end of the hall and somebody is always leaving it unlocked during the day.
The Board then adjourned to the next quarterly meeting in the Gstaad Palace, Switzerland.
Rebuttal deposition to above report:
Geez, it was a paper cut to your index finger and you nearly fainted at the sight of blood. When I tried to apply the Tigger bandage, you pulled away in a snit because we were out of the Eeyore bandages and knocked over your computer monitor.
Jose is full of barley and so are you. You lost the NCAA brackets to Jose and couldn't pay up, so Jose charged the 'overtime' hours to the Institute to get his 'winnings'.
Need I point out that some or all of this behavior may be actionable?
I suppose it's useless to remind you it's your turn to buy coffee and donuts.

Allegations of fraud, misuse of funds at Dorchester Co. Senior Center
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
The letters, written by Councilman Larry Hargett from April to July, allege DSI is abusive, wasteful and fraudulent.
Dorchester County Seniors, Inc., (DSI) a non-profit senior center, has obtained letters exchanged between a Dorchester County councilman, a board member and the office of the inspector general.
The letters, written by Councilman Larry Hargett from April to July, allege DSI is abusive, wasteful and fraudulent. Dorchester Seniors Center Board member Marvin Johnson also signed the letters. Johnson and Hargett claim DSI is not transparent with financial information and wrongfully in the state's pension system because, they claim, DSI is a privately funded company.
DSI Director, Jean Ott, tells News 2 she requested the letters via the Freedom of Information Act and was shocked to read the accusations, stating all of them are untrue and will only make obtaining funding more difficult. The center is already struggling with a growing senior population.
Patrick Maley with the Office of the Inspector General did initially deny the request for an investigation at DSI, via written correspondence, stating it was not within their jurisdiction. After more correspondence it appears Maley did meet with Hargett and Johnson. Although the result of that meeting is unclear, Maley did send a letter to the lieutenant governor's office last month to further investigate. Stating, "the complainants have no specific allegations of wrongdoing. They are only suspicious by the DSI's refusal to transparently disclose how its $2 million annual budget is being spent, which is comprised of county taxes, state taxes, and donations."
Chairman of County Council Bill Hearn said council members and DSI need to move forward because they've done enough to "scandalize" the senior center.
David Chinnis said they had no idea these letters were being sent on council letterhead. "There is no man behind the curtain... We are finally not being asked to appoint a man who refuses to be a part if something he's been asked to do," Chinnis said referring to Johnson.
Ott said she meets with the county every year to discuss the budget.
Larry Hargett announced he will remove Marvin Johnson from the senior board within the month.

The accelerate package
Data.Array.Accelerate defines an embedded array language for computations for high-performance computing in Haskell. Computations on multi-dimensional, regular arrays are expressed in the form of parameterised collective operations, such as maps, reductions, and permutations. These computations may then be online compiled and executed on a range of architectures.
- A simple example
As a simple example, consider the computation of a dot product of two vectors of floating point numbers:
dotp :: Acc (Vector Float) -> Acc (Vector Float) -> Acc (Scalar Float) dotp xs ys = fold (+) 0 (zipWith (*) xs ys)
Except for the type, this code is almost the same as the corresponding Haskell code on lists of floats. The types indicate that the computation may be online-compiled for performance – for example, using Data.Array.Accelerate.CUDA it may be on-the-fly off-loaded to the GPU.
- Available backends
Currently, there are two backends:
1. An interpreter that serves as a reference implementation of the intended semantics of the language, which is included in this package.
2. A CUDA backend generating code for CUDA-capable NVIDIA GPUs: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/accelerate-cuda
Several experimental and/or incomplete backends also exist. If you are interested in helping finish these, please contact us.
1. Cilk/ICC and OpenCL: https://github.com/AccelerateHS/accelerate-backend-kit
2. Another OpenCL backend: https://github.com/HIPERFIT/accelerate-opencl
3. A backend to the Repa array library: https://github.com/blambo/accelerate-repa
- Additional components
The following support packages are available:
1. accelerate-cuda: A high-performance parallel backend targeting CUDA-enabled NVIDIA GPUs. Requires the NVIDIA CUDA SDK and, for full functionality, hardware with compute capability 1.2 or greater. See the table on Wikipedia for supported GPUs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA#Supported_GPUs
2. accelerate-examples: Computational kernels and applications showcasing Accelerate, as well as performance and regression tests.
3. accelerate-io: Fast conversion between Accelerate arrays and other formats, including Repa arrays.
4. accelerate-fft: Computation of Discrete Fourier Transforms.
Install them from Hackage with cabal install PACKAGE
- Examples and documentation
Haddock documentation is included in the package, and a tutorial is available on the GitHub wiki: https://github.com/AccelerateHS/accelerate/wiki
The accelerate-examples package demonstrates a range of computational kernels and several complete applications, including:
An implementation of the Canny edge detection algorithm
An interactive Mandelbrot set generator
A particle-based simulation of stable fluid flows
An n-body simulation of gravitational attraction between solid particles
A cellular automata simulation
A "password recovery" tool, for dictionary lookup of MD5 hashes

Climate Scientist Andrew Weaver Wins $50,000 in Defamation Suit Against National Post, Terence Corcoran
Carol Linnitt | February 6, 2015
By Carol Linnitt • Friday, February 6, 2015 - 13:03
The B.C. Supreme Court awarded $50,000 in damages to climate scientist Andrew Weaver in a ruling Friday that confirms articles published by the National Post defamed his character.
The ruling names Terence Corcoran, editor of the Financial Post, Peter Foster, a columnist at the National Post, Kevin Libin, a journalist that contributes to the Financial Post and National Post publisher Gordon Fisher.
Four articles published in 2009 and 2010 refer to Weaver, now MLA for Canada's Green Party, as an "alarmist" who disseminates "agit-prop" and a "sensationalist" that "cherry-picked" data as "Canada's warmest spinner-in-chief." Weaver was previously a lead author on a number of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment reports.
In the damages section of the ruling (attached below), Madam Justice Emily Burke notes, "the defamation in this case was serious. It offended Dr. Weaver's character and the defendants refused to publish a retraction."
Justice Burke concluded the defendants "have been careless or indifferent to the accuracy of the facts," adding, "they were more interested in espousing a particular view than assessing the accuracy of the facts."
Weaver told DeSmog Canada he's "thrilled" with the ruling.

I know you can use a towel for a lot of the workouts, but my wife gets ticked off when I take her towels and ropes are terrible. These grips are really strong, made out of Heavy Gi Material and Seatbelt like material and I like that they work with all of the machines at the gym. If you are tired of rope burn, hearing it from the wife and still want to incorporate grip strength training into your workout, I would check out these GiZilla Grips.

LMAO! No it does not. I had a couple tabs open and I seemed to have accidently posted in here. This was suppose to be the BT4 kernel thread hahaha.
However, the reason I am updating the kernel does relate to this thread. Basically, I cant get my broadcom wireless interface to recognize at all. I was hoping the kernel would fix it, but when I get to that command it fails.
I totally botched on that post lol, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I think I may be experienceing a yeast infection. Is this normal during pregnancy? Is it a must to get a prescription or is there something safe to use during pregnancy that's over the counter?

There are many natural things you can do to help resolve a yeast infection.
1. Eat more fiber like raw vegetables.
2. Eat more healthy fats like avocados, fish (cod liver oil) and flax seed (or flax oil)l.
3. Eat plenty of high quality protein like green leafy vegetables, eggs, fish, chicken and beef.
4. Greatly reduce or eliminate carbohydrates (especially simple carbohydrates like white flour, white sugar, white potatoes).
5. Greatly reduce or eliminate fruit. Yeast feeds on sugar, so fruit, fruit juices and all sugars will feed yeast (not a good thing). Once your yeast infection is gone, you'll want to stay on this type of a diet for awhile.
6. Start taking a high quality probiotic like acidophilus, bifidus, salivarius, etc. A probiotic will help to reestablish healthy vaginal flora.
7. Dip a tampon into freshly opened, plain organic yogurt (no sugar, no thickeners, just milk and probiotics), then insert it into your vagina for 10 minutes, twice a day. This can help balance the vagina with healthy bacteria, which reduces yeast.
8. Boost your immune system. Be sure you're taking a high quality prenatal vitamin supplement, eating a healthy diet low in sugar, getting at least 8 hours of sleep a night (preferably going to bed before 10PM) and limiting your stress. When your 19 month old takes a nap, you should try to take at least a short 20 minute power nap too.
If you find that these things are not resolving your yeast infection fast enough, then be sure to talk to your health practitioner about the possibility of using an over-the-counter fungal or prescription. I'm not sure what you can and cannot use during pregnancy, as I never had a yeast infection during pregnancy.
Oil of Oregano is an antifungal which can be taken in capsule form. I've also had good experience using Caprylic Acid (in tablet form). Garlic is another anit-fungal.
If you have a practitioner who specializes in holistic medicine (i.e. a naturopath or a midwife who is familiar with treating naturally) I would definitely talk to that person right away to see what they suggest.
I hope this gives you some ideas and take care to eliminate yeast producing foods from your diet for the rest of your pregnancy. It's always a good idea to eliminate or greatly reduce sugar because babies can put a lot of weight on when mum eats sugar, which can cause complications at delivery.
And then try to limit your simple carbs after the birth of your baby to reduce the chance of baby getting thrush and transferring it to your breasts when you breastfeed.

So glad you found the information helpful
Drink plenty of water instead of fruit juice, and if you really need something to make the water have some taste, you can add a little fruit juice, but just to flavor, not to give a sweet taste.
Stevia is an herbal sweetener that is easy to find in health food stores and even in the health section of grocery stores. It is very sweet, and a little goes a long way, but you can make a tasty lemonade by squeezing some fresh lemon juice into a glass of water and adding stevia. The stevia will not increase blood sugar levels or feed yeast Lemon is excellent to take on a daily basis. If you take too much, it can detox you, and you don't want to detox much while pregnant (a little is okay, a lot may be too much to dump into your blood stream for baby) but squeezing 1/2 lemon into a glass of water once or twice a day is great.
I'd eliminate the fruit and fruit juices this week, along with all sugar and as much white flour products as possible and see what difference it makes for you. Definitely add in the probiotics and eat at least one, preferably two, big green salads a day. If you do just these 5 things (no fruit, no sugar, no flour, eat salads, add probiotics) I think you'll see a big difference. Definitely get those probiotics today. You can get them in capsule form and they are usually in the refrigerator so you may have to ask for them if you don't see them, or look in the refrigerators in the health section of the store.
Probiotics also help with digestion and this is something you can continue on a daily basis indefinitely. Once the infection is gone you could also eat some plain (no fruit or sugar) yogurt every day to help keep things balanced. Probiotics are really good for you!
I'd like you to post back in 3 or 4 days to let me know if symptoms are subsiding, staying the same or getting worse.
Warm Regards,

LSU goes into its regular-season finale at Arkansas on Friday with an opportunity to win 10 games for the third season in a row, a streak that has happened only once.
This would be the sixth time in coach Les Miles' eight seasons that the Tigers would have reached that milestone. Just seven LSU teams in the 111 seasons before Miles' arrival have won 10 games.
Though 12-game regular seasons nowadays make it easier to win 10 games than it used to be, a 10-win season is still pretty significant.
Eighth-ranked LSU is 9-2 and 5-2 in the Southeastern Conference. Arkansas, a preseason Top 10 projection, is 4-7 and 2-5.
"Double-digit wins in anybody's program is a big deal, but to get 10 wins in this league is a very tough thing," LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger said. "We haven't been playing our best ball all year, but right now, we're playing really well, and hopefully we can keep this momentum going and get another win at Arkansas and then hopefully get our 11th win in the bowl game."
A victory would keep the Tigers in contention for a BCS bowl berth. Their still-flickering hopes of winning the SEC West would live for at least another day.
If LSU returns to Baton Rouge victorious, it can sit back Saturday and hope Texas A&M beats Missouri and Auburn somehow upsets Alabama, sending the Tigers to Atlanta next week for the SEC Championship game.
"There are no goals yet removed and we're looking forward to playing it out," Miles said. "Each team has their own set of circumstances and situations. Some teams can get to that. Some teams can't. Some teams fight injury, sickness and legitimate issues on and off the field that limit or grant opportunities for them to succeed.
"I think this team is fighting and doing exactly what we have asked them to do. I think that they are as competitive as can be. I have to be honest with you. It is very positive to win 10, but I wish that it was 12. Sometimes 10 is just what you should have won. I am proud of how this team is fighting and playing."
LSU has won four of its last five games and appears to be playing its best down the stretch.
"We need to finish," Miles said. "We need to make sure that this season, we operate like we have said we would and turn out to be the best team that we can be and to be a dominant team on (game days).
"That's the goal; to play best, to improve and to see where this season puts us. We don't control our destiny, but there are some destinations that this football team would love to be a part of."
The Tigers' new-found passing game has given the team a boost, even as the pass defense has become vulnerable.
Mettenberger has thrown for more than 250 yards in each of the past three games, the first such streak since Tommy Hodson did it in 1989.
But LSU has allowed Mississippi State and Ole Miss to pass for more than 300 yards each of the past two games, and Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson's SEC-leading average is 302.8 yards per game.
"It is our plan to make our secondary more competent and more accountable," Miles said. "I think that will happen."
The Tigers have lost eight starters for various reasons since the start of preseason camp.
"We have to improve," Miles said. "There isn't any question. It's something where we have young players that are going to play great and young players that will play 'I didn't know that' or 'I forgot that' or 'I didn't make that play,' and we're going to continue to coach technique, alignments and assignments."
Arkansas was No. 3 in the country and still alive for the SEC and BCS title games when it arrived in Baton Rouge a year ago Friday. But things have gone downhill ever since.
The Razorbacks scored the first 14 points, then got pounded in a 41-17 Tigers victory. Coach Bobby Petrino was abruptly dismissed during the offseason amid a scandal involving an extra-marital affair.
Though interim head coach John L. Smith inherited a talent-laden team that was projected to again contend in the SEC West and nationally, little has gone right under his watch.
The Razorbacks were stunned by Louisiana-Monroe in a 34-31 overtime loss in the second game of the season in Little Rock. Their only SEC victories have come against Auburn and Kentucky, who are both winless in the league.
They were eliminated from bowl consideration after a 45-14 loss at Mississippi State last week.
So while LSU looks forward to possibly extending its streak of 10-win seasons and whatever reward lies beyond, Arkansas is finishing off one of the most disappointing seasons in the country.
"It has not worked as I would have liked," Smith said. "I'd sure like to go out with a win."

Feminism | Posted by Evelyn T on 05/31/2011
So recently the feminist community has been rallying around the SlutWalks. Personally, I'm beginning to feel a tad sorry for the poorly spoken police officer who instigated all of this as he's probably (hopefully) feeling like an idiot right about now. But not too sorry.
Recently the topic was brought up in my calculus class, and although most students didn't know about it, the ones that did all said the same thing: "Well, you wouldn't leave your garage door open and expect someone not to steal your car, would you?" I was surprised that so many people thought this, as I was under some sort of impression that victim blaming was only for serious misogynists. I was clearly wrong; it's more subtle and widespread than that.
I think the …

In the past 12 months, crime in Citrus County ran the gamut — everything from the tragic to the shockingly bizarre.
And, like in the other spheres of life, the unusual and tragic crime stories garner the most attention.

This tractor does an excellent job. I have no complaints and highly recommend it.
Haven't had her long but it seems like a great tractor. This little "sub compact" is actually heavier than the competitions "compact". Can't beat the price, warranty and financing with Mahindra!!
My wife and I have been very pleased with our 3016 mahindra. To be a compact tracktor it has good usable power and all the controls are in hands reach. Thanks Mahindra and thanks Lazenby Equipment for a good peace of equipment we will enjoy for years to come.
Very happy to have this tractor! I did all this work around our hobby farm by a shovel and wheelbarrow now i just climb on and it does the hard work for me. My wife and daughter can handle this tractor and do work also.
Pros: affordability, user friendly, power, operates smooth, solid built, I look good on it!!!
Cons: Need better manual for mower deck!
Great, Great, Great
Sometimes a little difficult to shift from forward to reverse. but otherwise pretty good
Absolutely love this tractor. Only wish I had bought it sooner. Have used it to clear some downed trees, brush and rocks in the woods to form a cart and ATV trail. Also used my backhoe to dig up stumps and good sized rocks which were in the way. I've really been impressed with how powerful this tractor is. It's made life much easier and takes only minimal time to get these jobs done.
Having no experience at operating a tractor with a backhoe and loader it's extremely easy to use and the manuals that come with it are very helpful and informative.
This tractor is the perfect size for my 2.5 acre camp and will handle anything I need to do because it's well-built, reliable and hard-working.
This is a fantastic sub compact tractor that is very easy to operate and maintain. I researched Kubota BX and Deere 1025/26 and I felt I got more bang for my buck with the Max 25. All operating handles are in easy reach and hooking up t thee PTO and 3 point hitch is a breeze. I purchased the 202 loader and a Land pride finish mower as well. Excellent service was provided by Kris Liles at my Mahindra dealer at Straub International in Salina Ks.
Purchased this Mahindra 4025 after my Iseki TU1900 developed a non repairable motor issue. I have always purchased used tractors and intended to do the same again. I went to the Mahindra dealer just to see what was out there and was impressed with the Mahindra line (I was aware of them for some time) and discussed issues with RnF dealer. The offer I was made was excellent and I purchased this tractor and loader with only 22 hours on it. It had been used by the dealer to load mulch onto the trucks of customers. After these few months, of heavy usage, I find it an awesome and very user friendly machine. I have owned larger and smaller tractors and I find this 4025 a good product. I am a small farmer with livestock and pastures. I also purchased a 6' medium duty mower which is excellent in performance.
i am very happy with our new tractor. had looked at others but the 5010 had the modern look and the simplicity i was looking for. It is big enough to run all of our hay equpment but small enough to navigate tight areas, it works perfect, have had since end of june and have 20 hours on it with no concerns. My salesmen went out of his way to make sure i was getting what i needed not just what i wanted. had to locate and transport our tractor in and has checked on us several times after purchase. Great experience!
I have the 4 wheel drive 4035 pst with a loader. The pst tranny is very fast to shift from forward to reverse and makes loader work fast and easy. I am surprised at how well this tractor moves dirt and grades roads. very easy and comfortable to operate. Prior to buying i compared several brands. John Deere was he only brand close in performance and weight but costs several thousand more and did not have as good a warranty. I broke the seat adjustment lever(my fault) and had a leaking fuel line. The dealer picked it up at my house, repaired it and returned it. Great service. A sevice rep came to my house to check the california smog tag. While he was here he adjusted my tire pressure and had other hints including Mahindra fuel additive to make my tractor work better and last longer.
I have driven tractors for over 40 years and can not believe how well the Mahindra performs, and i move lots of dirt. I only have about 100 hours on it so i cant comment on long term repars but it is great so far
PS I dont like the owners manual at all

Eminem finally apologizes to mom on 'Headlights'
Listen to Eminem on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - The most shocking song of Eminem's career is actually a tribute to his mother.
On "Headlights," from Eminem's MMLP2 album, the rapper offers a mature, sincere apology to his mom, Debbie Mathers, from whom he remains estranged.
The title "Headlights" refers to their last meeting. As she drove away, he became fixated on the headlights of her car as he coped with feelings of "overwhelming sadness," he raps.
As the lyrics continues, the Detroit rapper apologizes for dissing his mother in songs like 2002's "Cleanin' Out My Closet" in which he called her a "selfish b-tch" he hoped would "burn in hell."
In 1999, Debbie filed a $10 million lawsuit against Eminem, accusing him of slander and settled for $25,000 in 2001.
"I went in headfirst, never thinking about who what I said hurt … My mom probably got it the worst," he raps in his opening lyrics.
Later he adds, "But I'm sorry mama for 'Cleanin' Out My Closet,' at the time I was angry," dropping that he has removed the song from his set list.
"That song I no longer pay at shows and I cringe every time it's on the radio," he says on the recording.
Eminem refers to a few incidences from their tumultuous past, getting kicked out of the house on Christmas Eve, constant fighting, and his younger brother Nathan's removal to foster care. He also expresses regret that his mother has not been involved in children's lives.
But he makes it clear that the song is about making amends, rapping that he hates their dysfunctional relationship.

text: As you can see from the cover above, The Enquirer outdid themselves from last week. Who knew that Oscar Pistorius' girlfriend was pregnant? The Enquirer. Mindy McCready death scene photos and Britney Spears on a very special episode of Animal Hoarders. The big thing they are writing about this week is Michael Douglas moving out from the home he shares with Catherine Zeta Jones and that they are having a trial separation. Both of their reps deny the story, but you know what? It would not surprise me if it happened. I also think that Michael is starting to feel better and his maybe wanting to see some new sighs if you get my meaning and he is not going to risk doing that while married. Meanwhile, Catherine seems to have her own life and her own interests and I could see the split. I would also like to see her birth certificate while we are at it.

WATCH: Jack White shares new video for 'Lazaretto'
Listen to Jack White on iHeartRadio
Jack White has a new video for his latest single, "Lazaretto." The black-and-white clip opens with a guitar pick flying through a glass wall, and the theme continues as White and company shatter the screen with power chords, guitar solos, and even Jack himself.
Other co-stars include snakes, a raging bull, and a man with the "Lazaretto" cover art tattooed on his chest.
Lazaretto the album, is due out June 10th. And White just announced plans to release the title track as a seven-inch vinyl single backed with a cover of Elvis Presley's "Power of My Love."

This Week's Reading
What We're Loving: Simultaneity, Latin LoversBy The Paris Review
I'm not really a fan of family-drama novels—I make exceptions for Lionel Shriver and Jane Smiley—but when one is set in your home state and the author teaches at your alma mater, it seems like required reading. Now I can make Andrew Porter's In Between Days an exception, too. This story of a family's collapse begins after the falling apart—infidelity, divorce, coming out, leaving for college—has already taken place. There's more dysfunction to come, but the real treat is Porter's plainspoken treatment of his characters, quiet and intense, and the revelation of fine but substantive fractures that are impossible to repair. —Nicole Rudick
Blaise Cendrars and Sonia Delauney published The Prose of the Trans-Siberian and of Little Jeanne of France in 1913, calling it "The First Book of Simultaneity." Cendrars's poem, recounting a journey he may or may not have taken from Moscow to Manchuria, was accompanied by Delauney's scroll of abstract forms in bright colors. The idea was that the reader should take in the text and painting simultaneously, and the poem strives gamely toward the same goal: "So many associations images I can't get into my poem / Because I'm still such a really bad poet / Because the universe rushes over me / And I didn't bother to insure myself against train wreck." A facsimile edition of the original book—a gorgeous, unfolding paper accordion—has been published by Yale, and I've been staring at it all afternoon. —Robyn Creswell

DKNY Atones for Unauthorized Usage by Donating $25K to Photog's Community YMCA
Posted by Conor Risch on Monday February 25, 2013 | Business, Copyright/Legal, Fashion, Uncategorized
Posted by Conor Risch on Monday February 25, 2013 | Business, Copyright/Legal, Fashion, Uncategorized
When DKNY used several photographs by Brooklyn, New York-based street photographer Brandon Stanton in a display window without permission, Stanton took to social media to get the word out and ask the clothing company to donate to a local YMCA in his community, the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood in Brooklyn. The multinational clothing company responded by giving the YMCA a $25,000 donation in Stanton's name.
"I didn't want to take on a powerful company in any sort of litigation," Stanton told PDN via email. "I don't have time for that right now. I also didn't want to try to personally enrich myself by drawing attention to the matter. So I decided on the YMCA."
He added, "I've seen firsthand how much they help the community."
DKNY had originally approached Stanton months ago and had offered him $15,000 for use of 300 images for store windows. When Stanton asked for more money, the clothing brand balked, and the deal fell apart, the photographer claims.
Then Stanton discovered his images were being used anyway in a DKNY store in Bangkok. He took to Facebook to share his story and demand that the company make a charitable donation rather than
compensate him. Stanton wrote: "I don't want any money. But please SHARE this post if you think that DKNY should donate $100,000 on my behalf to the YMCA in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. That donation would sure help a lot of deserving kids go to summer camp. I'll let you guys know if it happens." The post spread, earning more that 60,000 Facebook shares and likes, and several thousand comments.
This afternoon DKNY responded with a statement on their social media sites, saying their Bangkok store "inadvertently… used an internal mock up containing some of Mr. Stanton's images that was intended to merely show the direction of the spring visual program."
"DKNY has always supported the arts and we deeply regret this mistake," the statement said. "Accordingly, we are making a charitable donation of $25,000 to the YMCA in Bedford-Stuyvesant Brooklyn in Mr. Stanton's name."
After DKNY agreed to make the donation, Stanton published their response on Facebook and thanked everyone who supported him. "$25k will help a lot of kids at the YMCA," he wrote. "I know a lot of you would like to have seen the full $100k, but we are going to take them at their word that it was a mistake."
DKNY may have another problem, though. Stanton doesn't have model releases for his images, he told PDN. "Part of DKNY's original pitch to me was that I would obtain model releases from 300 of my subjects. Seeing as though no agreement was reached, that was never done."
Whether that could come back to bit the DKNY and its parent company, LVMH, Inc., remains to be seen.

Robert Watson's Stereo Vision
Mr. Robert Watson used some sort of modeling computer program to create these magnificent 3D stereograms (or magic eyes, if you will). If you jump inside this post you can play with all 5 of them. Unfortunately, those of us having problem seeing this kind of illusions will have to train better, or simply wait for tomorrow's update. Which one do you think works best? Esthetically, first example is my favorite!

The countdown began last September when Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company opened its 2012-13 season with a performance titled "Four." Through the subsequent months it has performed "Three," then "Two," and now, this week, it ends with "One."
The evening includes the premiere of "one hundred thousand," by German choreographer Johannes Wieland, and it marks the last production for artistic director Charlotte Boye-Christensen.
Wieland, who divides his time between continents and companies, is artistic director and resident choreographer of the State Theater of Kassel in Germany and associate artistic director of Paradigm in New York. Last November, he was in Salt Lake City for two weeks to create "one hundred thousand," which explores contemporary urban life.
Feeling the pressures of making a new piece in so little time, Wieland was pleased to find the Ririe-Woodbury dancers readily open to new ideas and skilled in participating in the choreographic processes.
"The first thing I do is see how the dancers take in the movement," he said. "These are creative people on their own hungry for information. So we work together using various choreographic tools just trying to get closer to the idea without being too literal. If it is too literal, there is nothing left for the audience to think about."
Though he danced with and studied under such greats as John Neumeier, Roland Petit and Maurice Béjart, Wieland said his artistic coming of age was at the elbow of his musician mother and grandparents. He also appreciates that his physician father did not expect him to take over his medical practice.
"I learned early that making honest work is about relevancy," Wieland said. "Whatever pulls the idea closer to being able to convey it. So I use text sometimes and props other times. Why not? There is no right or wrong, it is just whatever brings the idea out to the audience."
In rehearsal for "one hundred thousand," the dancers wore brightly colored wigs and wacky shoes to convey the extremes people often go to in an attempt to "fit in." But Wieland said the "concept is just a point of departure." Starting Thursday, audiences will see if those elements made the transition from rehearsal to performance.
Also on the program is a tightened-up version of Mexican choreographer Alicia Sanchez's "If My Right Hand Would Say What My Left Hand Thought," a piece Ririe-Woodbury has performed several times since it premiered in 2005.
It will be followed by Boye-Christensen's 2004 work "Bridge," about the division created between men and women and the physical entanglements that ensue.
"The three works are each from choreographers from completely different parts of the world," Boye-Christensen said on the eve of her departure. "I like showing what is going on in dance in Latin America through Alicia's work; in Europe through Johannes' work; and here through my piece 'Bridge.' "
Goodbye Charlotte • Boye-Christensen joined the company in 2002 to assist in its artistic direction and in 2008 was named artistic director. She is only the company's second artistic director since its founding in 1964 by Joan Woodbury and Shirley Ririe. Managing director Jena Woodbury said the company plans to announce a replacement later this month.
As the dancers prepare for a change in leadership, they took time to look back and share some tender and humorous moments. One undeniable conclusion is that Boye-Christensen the artist is indiscernible from Boye-Christensen the person.
Her habit of running 10 miles each day when possible in the Wasatch Mountains but even on tour is motivating, said Alexandra Jane Bradshaw, who joined the company in 2011.
"Charlotte has an intense determination and she holds us to the same standard. In rehearsal when we are pushed to the limit finding things in ourselves that we didn't know were there I remind myself that if she can do all this and also run 10 miles a day, I can certainly run the piece again."
Bashaun Williams, who divided his last years in high school between being the captain of the basketball team and performing with Texas' Ballet Lubbock, came to Ririe-Woodbury as a ballet major at the University of Utah. Once Williams experienced Boye-Christensen's choreography, "I felt baptized or born again into Charlotte's ballet-based, new contemporary style." Williams said he will miss Boye-Christensen's "leadership and companionship. She is someone I feel I can confide in any time and I have."
"Charlotte juxtaposes intensity against the tender moments," added Tara Rozen McArthur, a three-year veteran. "Charlotte's voracity for creating new material is inspiring, and the experience of absorbing Charlotte's movement into my body directly from her."
Another veteran, Brad Beakes, said he gets excited by her passion for motion. "She loves to move and loves to create – and it is fun to watch her go to that place where it is not about her, it is about what she is creating. It is thrilling to follow that intensity and her faith in us to grab hold and go with it."
One of Boye-Christensen's many strengths is her commitment to the dancers, explained Joseph "Jo" Blake, who has been with Ririe-Woodbury for 10 years.
"She was always there for us professionally with new work, new ideas, new inspiration and always there for us personally to make sure we're healthy, ready for the show, taking care of our minds and bodies," he explained. "She truly cares about us as a familyshe is a mother, an aunt, a friend and a boss. I hope the dancers receive from the new artistic director the care that Charlotte was able to offer to us throughout the years."
