Has he turned the corner?
I'm optimistic
Maybe having his personal problems behind him and not being distracted with ST responsibilities is a good thing.
I'm his biggest critic. He balled today. Gotta give it to him
Let Romo2Austin tell it, those numbers really arent all that impressive
I really like what I saw out of Dez today. I think on that one play he just thought he had a first down. He's the last guy that should be criticized for laying down.
He's really showing why he deserves extra time to develop lately. Miscues are disappearing and more good plays are showing up instead
he's this team's whipping boy, so no...never.
I hope so. He could have had even more if they didn't blow the whistle on his would be TD.
I don't think I've ever seen a secondary play such poor technique as what I witnessed today with the Browns. Skrine was making illegal contact on just about every snap they showed.
yeah austin is our #1...he earns every cent of that huge contract
nope, dez is our # 1
He is the guy who can make great plays and then also run out of bounds 1 yard short of the 1st down. I guess you have to take the good with the bad, but man, the bad infuriates you sometimes.
No different than with Austin sometimes either I guess, he is careless but not stupid. We do seem to have some of the stupidest players in the league though. Ratliff on the taunting, Scandrick......
Career high in yards, one short of career high in catches.
Will he have a big game Thurs?
It seems he's disappeared on Thanksgiving games the past two seasons.
The fact that we can have this argument is a very good thing. This offense needs to get going. We have most of the ingredients.
Dez played well and did his job today. I have been very critical of his play but I've felt like he hasn't completely screwed up the last 2-3 games and today Romo rewarded that by actually throwing to him again. If Dez h figured his nonsense out and Romo can trust him again,then the offense is in much better shape.
Ogletree had another error early in the game, I'm hoping to see Harris take care of securing the third WR spot on Thursday
yeah, the offense needs to get its stuff together.
i predict a win on thanksgiving
Not when you compare them to Andre Johnson's today!
Andre had 14 catches for 273 and a TD!!
And I'm just kidding, Dez is a studddd
It's semantics. Miles had the game in his hands with 12:10 left in the OT, but he slowed down.
I ripped on him after Atlanta...but today he was great.
Keep it up that's the way you can play all the time Dez.
i think his mistake on that one catch woke him up and fired him up.....he played a beast the rest of the game. you cannot only measure his stats, you also have to measure the penalties and yardage he forced.
definitely a great afternoon for 88
That's true, your right, I forgot about that one when I wrote that. I don't know what that was either....

Now, i am all for people living their lives however they want to live them, and being afforded equal rights while doing so, but this doesnt sit well with me. Fair enough (s)he has had the snip and been on hormone replacement for ten years, but surely this is a person with a male build and bone structure, getting in to fight women who dont. It seems unfair imo.
On the upside, I think Fallon v Cyborg sounds fun.

O'Reilly Tries And Fails To Attack SCOTUS Over Marriage Equality Decisions
Blog ››› ››› CARLOS MAZA
After inaccurately predicting that the Supreme Court would uphold California's Proposition 8, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly launched a series of flawed right-wing critiques of the Court's marriage equality decisions.
During the July 1 edition of his show, O'Reilly criticized the Supreme Court for its decisions on California's Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), suggesting that the Court relied on "loopholes" to override public opinion and defending the merits of both measures:
O'Reilly's diatribe is a good example of what happens when a right-wing pundit tries to pass off partisan talking points as serious legal analysis.
He blamed Justice Anthony Kennedy for finding a "loophole" in the Proposition 8 case in order to overrule the will of California voters, even though Kennedy actually dissented in that decision (Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Antonin Scalia - hardly outspoken proponents of marriage equality - agreed that the plaintiffs lacked standing, with Roberts writing the majority opinion).
While discussing the decision with Fox News political analyst Juan Williams, O'Reilly also seemed to suggest that, if DOMA was really unconstitutional, it would have been struck down by the Supreme Court when it was passed in 1996:
O'REILLY: What happened in '96, Juan? Why wasn't this challenged then on a constitutional basis?
WILLIAMS: If it had been, the Court might have ruled that way.
O'REILLY: Well it wasn't...
WILLIAMS: We don't know what would have happened.
O'REILLY: But it wasn't challenged then. It wasn't by anyone.
WILLIAMS: Right.
O'REILLY: Alright? But now, suddenly something's changed. And now, Bill Clinton's a bigot, as [Ralph] Reed said, and all the other people are bigots because they wanted to uphold a traditional marriage tenant that they felt strengthened the country.
O'Reilly's argument, of course, is a pretty frightening defense of judicial stagnancy. Courts evolve in their thinking, just like societies evolve. American history is filled with examples of erroneous, discriminatory, and even bigoted court decisions (think Dred Scott) that are thankfully reversed over time. The fact that anti-gay discrimination was at one time widely accepted in America does not make laws like DOMA any more legally defensible.
O'Reilly then devolved into his favorite "slippery slope" attack on marriage equality, warning that the Court's decision in DOMA might pave the way for polygamy. It's a popular right-wing horror story, despite never making much legal sense.
In February, O'Reilly uncharacteristically stated that the conservative argument against marriage equality "wasn't strong enough." He certainly seems to be proving his point.

What do people think?
I visited one of these academies in SA whilst I was working out there last year. The guys running the club had a genuine passion for BJJ, but had limited access to good quality instruction themselves - not a Black belt for miles. In their case, signing up to the Gracie Academy makes sense, distance learning etc was their only real option but why you'd want to do this in London when there are so many excellent BJJ clubs and instructors, I have no idea. I'm guessing that the instructor is purple belt level at best? I may be wrong....
You're probably right.... the SA lads running the GJJ classes were blue belts.
lol at even paying for a private off a blue belt. Like paying for tuition off someone who just has GCSEs.
The whole thing is horrible. I dunno why anyone would want to get involved in BJJ that way.

The public will get two chances this week to weigh in on Salt Lake County's 2013 budget and its two proposed tax increases one to support countywide services, the second for the library system.
County Council members will accept public comment Tuesday and Thursday evenings starting at 6 p.m. on the proposed budget, which would raise property taxes for an average county homeowner by $59 a year to deliver countywide services from Meals on Wheels to running jails and $18.38 to prop up libraries.
Both public hearings are in the First Floor council chambers of the North Building in the County Government Center, 2001 S. State St. The projected increases reflect what would be paid by the owner of a $238,000 home, the county's median value.
The council originally planned to have a public hearing Tuesday, then to vote Thursday on the proposed $785 million budget after council members aired their feelings, said Council Chairman David Wilde.
But to comply with "Truth in Taxation" requirements of the law, the council opted to hear comments from the public both evenings. "I'm prepared to have a hearing Tuesday that could go on for two, three, four hours," said Wilde, leader of the council's 5-4 Republican majority.
Outgoing Mayor Peter Corroon, a Democrat, had proposed a $788 million budget that would have required a 17.5 percent tax boost for countywide services. After three weeks of budget deliberations, the council cut proposed spending by $2.5 million, reducing the proposed tax hike to 16.2 percent.
Council members did not go along with Corroon's plan to fully restore wage and benefit cuts imposed on county employees at the onset of the Great Recession.
They concurred with the mayor's proposal to give the county's 3,600-plus employees a 1.75 percent pay raise, completing the restoration of an earlier 2.75 percent salary cut, but rejected his proposal to return a 2 percent reduction in benefits.
The council also eliminated $500,000 from a wellness program that gave employees financial incentives to be healthy and trimmed $500,000 in spending on information-technology systems.
Some of these savings were offset by the council's addition of two projects not in Corroon's budget $1 million for Living Planet Aquarium in Draper and $250,000 for an underpass serving Dimple Dell Park in Sandy.
Corroon's proposed tax increase would cost the median household about $5 more per year than the council's version. The mayor said it was needed to keep services at present levels, to thank employees for their sacrifices during the lean years, to begin attacking $200 million worth of deferred maintenance projects and to make up for inflation's impact on county revenues since the tax rate was last raised, in 2001.
The Utah Taxpayers Association has criticized the proposal, complaining in its December newsletter that "Taxpayers in Salt Lake County are reaping the consequences of years of bad decision making by their elected officials."
County employees are not entitled to pay increases and "should count themselves lucky they retained their jobs through the Great Recession," the association added. "County government is not a jobs program. If county employees feel they can earn more working elsewhere, the county should not try to dissuade them from leaving. Many people would be happy to take their place."

P The Salt Lake County Council will hold public hearings on the 2013 tentative budget, and its two proposed tax increases, on Tuesday and Thursday at 6 p.m. in the First Floor council chambers, North Building, of the County Government Center, 2001 S. State St.

Freeborn Hall, formerly known as Memorial Union Assembly Hall, was UC Davis' primary large event venue until the construction of the Mondavi Center. It was named for Stanley B. Freeborn. Construction of the 1,800 seat building was completed in 1961. There are often conferences as well as the occasional speaker or concert. Nearby food: Coffee House. Located in the basement, Lower Freeborn Hall, are such fine institutions such as The California Aggie, KDVS, Project Compost and AS Papers.
Due to "seismic issues", Freeborn will be closed indefinitely in the Summer of 2014, and will be assessed by the Department of Campus Recreation and Unions to determine the scope and feasibility of renovation.
There is a tunnel connecting the MUGA to Lower Freeborn.
Freeborn has seen such prominent performers as Nine Inch Nails, The Grateful Dead, and former President Bill Clinton made a brief visit after his appearance at the Mondavi Center.
The basement was formerly home to University Haircutters.

I present to you a new job under the name Flash …http://audiojungle.net/item/flash/3541258
Leave your comments)
I like this work, but my biggest suggestion would be to allow it to evolve over a shorter period of time—remember, a LOT of editors are looking for works in the 1-3 minute range, so having a track that evolves over 6+ minutes limits your audience.
This track is awesome as it grows and gets bigger—I love how truly massive it is around the 4 to 5 minute mark, but it takes so long to get there that I worry that you're cutting yourself off by limiting your market. If I were you, I'd produce a version that is shorter and include both in the main file so that you give your potential customers two ways to use your music.

Authorities are asking for the help of the public in locating an elderly East Texas man.
The Wood County Sheriff's Office says 78-year-old Gerald Randall Crowell, of Quitman, was last seen wearing a blue, white and yellow striped button up with short sleeves, with white pants, a black belt and black shoes.
He is driving a 2005 Toyota Tundra, champagne colored, with a diamond plate toolbox.
The missing man's daughter described her father as a "hoarder" and says his vehicle is filled with items that makes it appear that he is moving.
The daughter also reported to the Wood County Sheriff's Office that her father has early dementia, heart problems and rheumatoid arthritis that has caused some crippling.
Officials say Gerald's daughter allowed him to drive to Famersville, but he never arrived. Authorities added that Gerald had an appointment at the Dallas Veteran's Administration hospital on Tuesday.
No further information or photo is available at this time.

Tornados Bested by Walk-Off SingleFebruary 7, 2014
JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn.- Carson Newman's Evan Kirkpatrick lined a walk-off single down the right field line in the bottom of the 9th to lift the Eagles to a 4-3 win over Brevard College in the 2014 South Atlantic Conference opener on Friday afternoon at the Silver Diamond Baseball Complex.
The Eagles (4-0, 1-0 SAC) tied the game in the 7th with an unearned run against Brevard (1-1, 0-1 SAC) starter Kevin Hamilton to set the table for the walk-off win. The righty didn't allow an earned run in seven innings on the mound, scattering seven hits and a pair of walks but falling victim to three Brevard errors.
Freshman Tyler Konzen (L, 0-1) pitched a perfect 8th before hitting Peter Rajkovich to start the 9th. Rajkovich moved to second base on a walk and then scored the game-winning run on the Kirkpatrick single.
The Tornados rallied from a 2-0 deficit early, getting an RBI single from Eric Renegar in the top of the 4th to make it 2-1.
BC went in front 3-2 in the top of the 7th on a Bennett Hixson two-run single that plated Renegar and Kody Spencer. The Tornados had six hits in 6.1 innings against C-N starter Quinton Yocom, though they were held hitless over the final 2.2 innings by Eagle relievers Lucas Watson and Daniel Sharp (W, 1-0).
The Tornados will finish out the three-game series tomorrow afternoon with a doubleheader beginning at 12 p.m.

Thread: Poll - how long was your labour?

Poll - how long was your labour?
How long were you in active labour for in your last pregnancy?
I think this is something I would have found useful to know in my first pregnancy. I wasn't prepared for the length of this labour so this meant I tried to stay awake and 'get things going' early on in my labour when really I should have been resting and sleeping in between contractions to allow my body to have more energy for the more intense contractions.
As a note, I don't believe a long labour means a 'bad labour' or a negative labour. In fact, some women who have very quick labours find it difficult because things get intense so quickly. With a longer labour you have time to allow your body and, importantly, your mind to get into the swing of things.
Please vote in my poll and tell me how long your last labour was.

My last pregnancy was my 5th baby and I was in labor about 5 or so hours. Active labor went very quickly for me...I remember transition happening so fast then shortly after baby was in my arms.
Great poll...would like to see more of these here on this forum. I think it would help bring us all together.
Thanks LJ for posting this.

Last edited by akiraB; 05-12-2010 at 03:29 PM. Reason: spelling
I think the snarling bulldogs with blood around their teeth is fairly self explanatory.
I think this is where the triangle idea originated
''fren, purple must smash people. SMASH THEM.
that is hequirement for purple
purple belt dangerus man
if purple belt cannot smash he not real purple'' Creonte
The triangle is actually an illuminati symbol of skullduggery and mind control. As is the all seeing eye.
I am by no means an expert of Carlson Gracie history. However, I believe the bulldogs derive from the brazilian tradition of dog fighting. Dog's were judged and prized on their 'gameness'. How much fight or 'game' did they have? When they were backed in a corner would they capitulate or just go all out. I think that is where the maxim "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog" comes from. I think this very much reflects the Carlson way.

Nihilist, if you are talking about the Carlson logo,it will be changed over my dead body.While there is still blood pumping through my heart and veins the bulldogs are staying.Those bulldogs are part of who we are as a team and if you want a modern corporate image you can piss off and train somewhere else.

Salisbury, N.C. – The Brevard College women's cross country team competed at the South Atlantic Conference Championship meet on Saturday morning and although the Tornados finishing times as a team did not count toward winning the championship, BC still faired well against the strong SAC competition.
Junior Alycia Andrade led the Tornados with a top-20 finish. Andrade finished in 16th-place with her time of 20:44.92.
Sophomore Hannah Beck finished in 55th-place with a time of 24:43.94, while fellow classmate Meghan Grimes crossed the finish line at 25:43.92.

AMD Launches FX CPUs with Bulldozer Architecture

AMD FX series chart (click to enlarge)
Eight-core Zambezi flagship to challenge Intel's Core i7
AMD has launched its much anticipated FX series of desktop CPUs using the
architecture. Codenamed
, the 32nm chips represent the company's top offerings for enthusiasts.
is the first complete redesign of AMD's processor architecture since the K7
was launched in 1999, and features significant improvements in manufacturing, design, and cost reduction.
The drive for efficiency and greater instructions per clock (IPC) was the original impetus for
. Long gone are the days of simply increasing clock speed for easy performance gains. AMD and Intel have been increasing the number of CPU cores, but that takes up a lot of die space. Intel has been pushing HyperThreading as its way of maximizing efficiency, and is pretty good when a CPU stalls due to a cache miss, branch misprediction, or data dependency. However, AMD has decided to go a markedly different route.
module provides an independent, dedicated integer and scheduler unit for each core. A single floating point unit is shared between the two cores in a
module, along with the fetch and decode units and a 2MB L2 cache. There is a 16KB L1 data cache per core, as well as a 64KB L1 instruction cache per module. This adds up to an impressive 128KB L1 data cache, 256KB L1 instruction cache, and 8MB L2 cache for an eight-core FX processor.
Theoretically, this should provide much better performance than HyperThreading, which functions best when there are a lot of CPU stalls because all threads must compete for available execution resources. HyperThreading increases performance by approximately 30% at a cost of 5% extra die space, but the second integer core in Bulldozer could almost double integer performance at a die cost of only 12%.
The Bulldozer architecture was originally supposed to debut in the first half of 2009, and would've enabled AMD to compete toe-to-toe with Intel on pure performance, rather than on pricing alone. However, various financial difficulties and a major recession led to delays, while the divestment of its
manufacturing capacity into GlobalFoundries
led to some technical delays. Almost three years late, the design has been updated significantly in order to accommodate the latest technologies and manufacturing processes.
FX chips are built by GlobalFoundries on its 32nm Silicon on insulator (SOI) process. The eight core
chips have around two billion transistors and a die size of approximately 315mm
. An integrated northbridge unit supplies an 8MB L3 cache, four 16-bit HyperTransport 3.0 links, and the integrated memory controller. Depending on the model, it runs at either 2.2Ghz or 2.0GHz. The most significant update to the integrated dual-channel memory controller is native support for DDR3 memory at 1866MHz (DDR3-1866/PC3-14900). ECC memory is still supported; a welcome relief to those who are planning on FX-based workstations, as Intel only supports ECC memory on its much more expensive Xeon workstations.
There are instruction sets aplenty: SSE3, SSE4.1/4.2, AES, and AVX. AMD is also introducing support for FMA4 and XOP. FMA4 can be thought of as specific instructions designed to speed up Fused Multiply–Add (FMA) operations. XOP is a revision of the SSE5 instruction set, redesigned to be more compatible with Intel's AVX.
The four new FX chips being launched today will require motherboards with socket AM3+, but the good news is that enthusiasts will be able to upgrade to a top of the line FX-8150 for $245. The FX-8120 will be available for $205, while the six-core FX-6100 will be priced at $165. The four-core FX-4100 with a 95W TDP is available for only $115. All FX chips are unlocked, and AMD has already set the Guinness World Record for the "Highest Frequency of a Computer Processor" by overclocking a
chip to 8.429 GHz.
Several speed bumps are already planned for Q1 and Q2 of 2012 as GlobalFoundries 32nm process matures. However, Bulldozer won't move into into the mainstream until the
refresh next year.
cores featuring DirectX 11
Fusion technology
will replace
, while the 10-core
processor will supplant
as the FX flagship.

I had Backtrack 5 working after using wget to get the proprietary ATI drivers, and I was into the GUI and when I got there it prompted me to update Backtrack 5 so I did.
Now it won't boot. Again. The only error I'm seeing is: (EE) Logitech G9x Laser Mouse: failed to initialize for relative axes.
I'm not sure what's wrong. This isn't a very stable release, seems like a lot of people are having troubles booting. . . .
Any idea as to how to get this back up and running?

Dr. Lockwood joined 95 students from Multnomah University, who gave up their holiday "day off", to take part in the first ever college and university MLK Jr Day of Service here in Portland. Estimates of 1,200-1,300 students were at the rally from 11 colleges and universities and 1,100 at the service projects.
The day of service began at 9 a.m. with a rally at Concordia, including music by King Elementary School's choir and remarks from Portland Mayor Sam Adams, Concordia President Charles Schlimpert and Pastor Mark Strong of Life Change Christian Center.
Immediately following the rally, student's boarded busses for project sites across Portland. There was a wide variety of projects included refurbishing schools, churches and community centers.
The day inspired some intense conversation about the meaning of service and what students can do with their skills and talents! MU students really valued working with other college students and learning why they serve compared to why MU students were serving.
In 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. proclaimed, "Everybody can be great because everybody can serve." Each year, colleges and universities hold events in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. throughout the country. This year, these efforts became collaborative; to enable college students from around the Portland Metro area both learn and serve together for greater community-wide impact.

Not sure if this goes in hardware, bugs, or here. So if a mod feels the need to move it, please do.
Hi all, I recently acquired a Itronix X-C6250 pro laptop, and thought I would try running backtrack (starting with 4prefinal, and if that's too slow, ill work back to 3, 2 etc.) As the device does not allow USB booting and has no CD/DVD/Floppy drive, it too awhile to get everything set up, but currently the machine boots to grub and from there into BT.
My problem lies with the sound card. As the boot putters along, it finally gets to this point:
And stays there.Code:firmware: requesting /ess/maestro3_assp_kernel.fw firmware: requesting /ess/maestro3_assp_minisrc.fw
so i pop the drive into another machine and check inside the /lib/firmware/ess and sure enough the files are there...
A bit more googling later revealed that I should load the module by editing /etc/modules and adding snd-maestro3. Still no dice it just sits at that line forever (at least for the 5-10 mins I left it there without turning it off).
A few other things of note:
I don't need sound, I want it to boot, but the card appears to be attached or hidden away enough that removal is an option I don't want to deal with.
So if anyone can tell me how to just make it stop trying to interact with the sound card, that would help me out too.
Thanks for your time.

Osa Johnson (1894-1953)
Osa Johnson and her husband, Martin, were pioneering explorers, photographers, filmmakers and authors, who documented the lives of the indigenous people and wildlife of the South Seas Islands, Borneo, and East and Central Africa. Their films serve as a record of these cultures and a wilderness that no longer exist today.
Osa Leighty was born in Chanute, Kansas on March 14, 1894. On May, 15 1910, at the age of sixteen, she married Martin Johnson of Independence, Kansas. Martin had recently returned from an excursion to the South Seas with Jack London, who became famous for his wilderness novels, and was touring the country presenting travelogues of the trip; Osa joined the tour after she and Martin married. It soon became apparent to Osa that her new husband was always going to want a life of adventure, and she was determined to stand as his equal and share it with him. After several years of traveling around the country, they scraped together enough money for an expedition to the South Seas, where they intended to film the natives in their natural state, not influenced by outside cultures.
Their first expedition left from San Francisco on June 5, 1917 to the island of Malekula in the South Pacific island chain called New Hebrides, where the Big Nambas were considered as savage a group of headhunters and cannibals as existed anywhere on earth. Once on Malekula, they ascended through steep, thick jungle with a crew of eight natives, a small amount of film equipment and a handful of goods for trade. They soon found the Big Nambas, and while Osa tried to interest their chief, Nagapate, in their goods, Martin rolled the camera. It became clear that Nagapate was more interested in Osa than in the goods she was offering, and the crew made a hasty retreat, scrambling down the steep path with the natives in quick pursuit. Fortunately, they were rescued by a British patrol boat. The resulting film, Among the Cannibals of the South Pacific, was released the next summer in 1918 to much acclaim.
Far from being scared off by the hardships and danger of their first adventure, Osa embraced this way of life. Whether it was rubbing down with kerosene oil to fight the ever-present mosquitoes, burning off leaches that doubled their size sucking her blood, or dealing with two-inch cockroaches crawling across her while she slept, Osa accepted these challenges as part of the adventure. The following year, in April of 1919, they returned to the South Seas and North Borneo for their next film, Jungle Adventures, which was released in 1921. Martin and Osa were the first to film these South Pacific Islanders, and the resulting films are considered important historic and ethnographic documents of Pacific Island Cultures in the early years of the Twentieth Century.
After the success of these films, Osa and Martin decided to try capturing the wildlife of Africa. Over the next several years, from 1921 to 1933, they recorded an unmatched photographic record of Africa; its people and its wildlife. These were among the earliest documentary films ever made in Africa, including the first sound movie made entirely in Africa, Congorilla, which opened in 1932. While Martin did the filming, developing, and editing, Osa was responsible for feeding the crew. She fished and hunted. When they put down roots in an area, she immediately planted a garden to supplement their diet. She was responsible for planning the expeditions, getting the supplies and help needed, and making all the travel arrangements.. All of this required good managerial skills, as well as linguistic abilities and the discernment to judge which native men would be trustworthy guides.
Osa was an expert with a gun, calmly standing by to protect the crew from danger while Martin filmed with his hand-crank camera. On one occasion, as Martin was photographing a herd of rhinoceroses, one of the animals charged directly at him. With her trademark calmness, Osa raised her rifle, shot, and killed the charging rhino. Martin never missed a second of the action, capturing the dramatic moment on film.
Along with her husband, Osa got a pilot's license in 1932, and they acquired two airplanes. Not only did they record the first aerial photos of African wildlife, they were also the first pilots to fly over Mt. Kenya, and the first pilots to film Mts. Kilimanjaro and Kenya.
Martin died of injuries resulting from a plane crash in Burbank, California in 1937. Osa survived the crash and continued to produce films and write books about their adventures. Her book, I Married Adventure, published in 1940, was listed in Best books of the Decade, 1936-1945 and was the top seller in its genre in 1940. When the US entered World War II the next year, the US military chose Johnson to write a book aimed at soldiers in the South Pacific. Published by Editions for the Armed Services in 1944, she titled it Four Years in Paradise. In 1951, her first best-selling book was translated into French.
Osa died in New York City on January 7, 1953 at the age of 58. Together, from 1917 to 1937, Martin and Osa made eight feature movies, published nine books, and shot thousands of still photographs. In addition to their expeditions, they traveled thousands of miles presenting lectures and showing their films. As well as being a commercial success, they were also commissioned to make motion pictures for the American Museum of Natural History, some of which are preserved on videotape there.
About his wife, Martin said, "she had all the qualities that go to make an ideal traveling companion for an explorer – pluck, endurance, cheerfulness under discomfort." To Osa, that was the highest of compliments.
In 1927, The Scientific American said, "The animal films and 'stills' by Mr. Martin Johnson have never been surpassed. It would hardly be fair not to mention Mrs. Martin Johnson in the same paragraph, for she handles a gun as fearlessly, and a camera almost as skillfully as her husband." Some of Osa Johnson's photographs recently were put on display in the Animal Kingdom Lodge (Jambo House) of Florida's Disney World.

LIBERIA, Costa Rica - On a recent Friday morning at a gleaming new international airport in Costa Rica, hundreds of tourists from New York and Minnesota emerged blinking onto the sun-blasted tarmac. At the other end of the runway, eight Americans zipped into tan flight suits aboard a massive white surveillance plane.
As four propellers roared, the P3 Orion flew out above the tourists and over the hotels and beach clubs of the Pacific Coast, its bulbous radar dish scanning for speedboats loaded with U.S.-bound cocaine. In the cabin's bank of radar screens, a dot pulsed just north of Panamanian waters. The P3 swooped down to 1,000 feet and soared past a tiny Costa Rican fishing boat. Using a long-lensed digital camera, one of the military veterans snapped a string of photos. A colleague radioed the boat's details back to the U.S.
This prosperous paradise of golden beaches and lush cloud-forest preserves is throwing itself wholeheartedly into the U.S. war on drugs as a flood of cocaine shipments and a surge in domestic crime erodes Costa Ricans' sense of proud isolation from the problems of the rest of Central America. Crime levels here are among the lowest in the region, but many Costa Ricans fear even the slightest possibility that their country could become more like Mexico, Guatemala or Honduras, where the unchecked power of drug cartels and ordinary criminals have millions of people living in fear.
In 1948, Costa Rica abolished its army, plowing money into education, social benefits and environmental preservation. As a result, Costa Rican officials say, the country whose laidback national slogan is "pura vida" - pure life - is poorly equipped to battle ruthless and well-equipped Mexican drug cartels. To assist, the U.S. is patrolling Costa Rica's skies and waters while also providing millions of dollars in training and equipment. The Costa Rican government, in turn, has launched a tough line on crime backed by a top-to-bottom transformation of its law-enforcement and justice systems.
"Costa Rica is today the closest the U.S. has to a protectorate in Central America," said Sam Logan, director of Southern Pulse, a risk-analysis firm focused on Latin America.
Fed up with crime, many Costa Ricans are welcoming the change. A wide range of serious crimes have risen sharply in Costa Rica over the last decade, though some, like homicide, have begun to dip.
"Security in general is going backwards. You can't walk in peace in the street; you're not at peace at home, or anywhere," said Roberto Arce, a 23-year-old university student.
But a small group of critics fears that the orderly and deeply democratic nation known as "the Switzerland of Central America" may be losing fundamental aspects of its identity by implementing its own version of the "iron fist" policies around the region.
"The United States' fight against drugs, militarizing it, using violence, above all in the cases of Colombia and Mexico, hasn't led to results," said Carmen Munoz, a congresswoman who oversees human rights and national security issues for the opposition Citizens' Action Party and has worked to block U.S. warships from landing at Costa Rican ports.
"We have a tremendous fear that their goal is also to militarize the war against drugs in Central America," she said.

Suns embrace roles after promotions
Jacksonville finds ways to win after Yelich, Marisnick callups
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MiLB.com | July 29, 2013 7:46 PM ET
When the Marlins promoted their top two prospects directly from Double-A Jacksonville to Miami last week, the Suns essentially lost two-thirds of their outfield and a large portion of their offense overnight.
Finding players to fill the void left by Christian Yelich and Jake Marisnick was never going to be an easy task, but Suns manager Andy Barkett has been pleased with how his team has rallied together.
On Monday evening, everything seemed to come together flawlessly.
Catcher J.T. Realmuto went 4-for-5 with a homer, a double, three runs scored and two RBIs and starting pitcher Matt Neil (2-2) tossed six one-hit innings to earn his first Southern League win in 10 weeks in Jacksonville's 12-4 rout of the Chattanooga Lookouts.
"We played well and swung the bats well. It was a good team win," said Barkett. "[Neil] threw strikes and kept the ball down and attacked the zone and we had a bunch of hard-hit balls.
"[Realmuto] had good swings and short strokes and played his game. It was a really good night for him, a confidence booster. For him to get four knocks tonight was huge. He needed a rest [Sunday], but he looked real comfortable at the plate. ... It's easy to manage games like this."
Barkett recognizes playing the rest of the second half without 2010 first-round Draft pick Yelich -- MLB.com's No. 10 prospect -- and 22-year-old Marisnick -- ranked 48th on the list -- will be tough. The Suns lost the first three games after their departure, but they have won the past four.
"We've played well since they left," Barkett said. "It changes our lineup and our team completely. Guys are stepping up and filling in roles and doing a good job. The Minor League season keeps going. We celebrate their successes, but we have to play a game the next day. [We have to] keep revolving players."
Marisnick was hitting .294 with 12 homers, 11 stolen bases and a team-high 46 RBIs in 67 games for the Suns. He saw 52 games in center field, 11 in left and four in right. At 6-foot-3 and 225 pounds, the powerful slugger batted .313 against southpaws and .286 against right-handers
Meanwhile, 21-year-old Yelich, owned a .280 clip, seven homers and 29 RBIs in 49 contests. He made 26 starts in center field and 21 in left field. He also got one start in right and another as a designated hitter. A potent left-handed bat, he was hitting .321 against righties at the time of his promotion.
The promotions have meant new roles for several players, particularly those in run-producing spots. Second baseman Derek Dietrich -- who saw 57 games with Miami -- has moved back into the No. 3 hole and first baseman Mark Canha has been bumped up to batting cleanup after hitting everywhere from second through ninth.
"Yelich and Marisnick were both offensive producers for us," Barkett said. "Either one of them can change the game at any time. With them out of the lineup, others need to step up, and Canha is as hot as a firecracker.
"[Dietrich] is a big part of our lineup. He has Major League experience and he can change the course of the game with one swing. Hopefully, these guys will lead us to a second-half title."
The move has also resulted in a new-look outfield.
Isaac Galloway was promoted from Class A Advanced Jupiter and moved into a more regular role patrolling center field and batting leadoff, while Daniel Pertusati has taken over the everyday left fielder's job. Both players homered Monday as part of the Suns' 16-hit attack.
California native Galloway slugged a two-run long ball in the second frame and 23-year-old Pertusati added a two-run shot in the fourth as part of a season-high four-RBI performance.
"We just need him to play his game and get on base," Barkett said of Galloway, who made his Double-A debut Friday. "He hit a home run and stole a base and really played well. [For Pertusati], just consistent at-bats, nothing crazy. We have to get him on base and do our thing."

J. Cole pleases fans with TLC for 'Crooked Smile'
Sometimes magic happens when you have someone like J. Cole as the magician. Here's why, for the first time ever, J. Cole performed "Crooked Smile" with TLC at the iHeartRadio Music Festival.
The arena roared with applause and screams the minute J. Cole mentioned TLC on his song "Crooked Smile." We can't even begin to describe how pumped the fans were. Well, we'll try –they were elated!
Chilli & T-Boz remained on stage throughout the entire performance and T-Boz even teared up as they all embraced once at the end of the inspiring song.
J. Cole gave us two treats in one performance, Miguel and TLC!
Click here for PHOTOS of J. Cole

With the New York Times proclaiming the comeback of the Elaine Benes look and luxury labels steadily taking a trip down memory lane, there has been no better time for designer James Price to shine. A child of the 90s, he slashes floral-print vintage dresses into button-cute rompers and acid-washed denims into sassy pencil skirts that his buxom fashion icon, Married ... With Childrens resident bimbo Kelly Bundy, would approve. His own designs of kaleidoscopic, retro-print crop tops and body-conscious dresses would meanwhile drive Noughties disco dollies gaga, especially when prices go as low as $25. If you want to be a true original style icon, however, check out his towering, gem-encrusted platform stilettos that hark back to the gutter glam Club Kid culture of the 80s. Sex and the City costume designer Patricia Fields New York boutique is said to have already ordered a batch. Enough said. hausofprice.com. Noelle Loh

And, before you know it, Im wandering and wondering, Would it be better to go with a cast-iron planter, or the zinc? Do I have space in the corner by the telephone pole for that nice wooden bodhisattva? And what about that topiary bush anyway?

One of the last large independent bookstores in Southern California, Book Soup, which bills itself as the Bookseller to the Great and Infamous, survived the death of longtime owner Glenn Goldman in 2009, as well as the competition from Internet shopping and the huge chain bookstores and their discounted wares. In fact, according to Book Soup staff, the West Hollywood landmark is booming. A big reason for that is Vromans, a major independent bookstore in Pasadena, which bought Book Soup after Goldman died, and over the past year has invested its deep-pocketed resources to maintain and build upon Book Soups inventory of more than 60,000 titles. Another reason is that Book Soup, which opened in 1975, still specializes in books customers crave in the areas of art, photography, film, music, literary fiction, L.A. noir, celebrity biographies and controversial nonfiction. The store continues to champion hard-to-find books by university, international and small presses, while offering author signings every week. If you want to learn about a world of ideas and transforming stories, Book Soup is the place to go. 8818 Sunset Blvd., W. Hlywd. (310) 659-3110, booksoup.com. Patrick Range McDonald
The Japanese garden district on Sawtelle Boulevard in West Los Angeles features three nurseries side by side, companion planted, as it were, for mutual benefit. Of them, Yamaguchi Bonsai Nursery is the most artistic. As the name implies, bonsai is their specialty. But someone here has a keen eye for plant arrangements of all types for the way in which dainty alyssum blossoms, say, complement a hefty profusion of petunias, mints and marjoram. Can a lowly house cactus inspire? It can here, jumbled into a pretty glazed clay pot with a squadron of weird little succulents. The place feels like nothing so much as someones wonderful backyard. Everything in tight spaces. Life bursting out of every corner. Yamaguchis is a great place for wandering, and it helps that the plants are happy, fat and healthy. The abundance of beneficial insects ladybugs, bees, lacewings zipping about is a good sign, too. Sales ladies Michiko and Kate wont mince words about which plants will thrive in shade and which require hours of blazing sun. Lest we forget, gardening is science as much as it is art. To some, its practically religion. If shes in good humor (and detects that you have a sense of humor), Michiko may even offer to whisper a blessing over your newly purchased plants. 1905 Sawtelle Blvd., W.L.A. (310) 473-5444.

With its $30 million redesign completed last year, the Hotel Shangri-La in Santa Monica is the epitome of L.A. glamour something thats hard to define until youre practically immersed in it. Built in 1939, the Shangri-La, with a glorious Art Deco design and superb beachfront location, has always seemed special, and its only gotten better with the renovation. Remaining true to its architecture, the pool area and dining room are tastefully sleek and modern, with an ultra-posh rooftop bar that offers great views, particularly at sunset, of the Pacific Ocean and Santa Monica Pier. Nearly all of the rooms have an ocean view and come with flat-screen TVs, wireless Internet, super comfy beds and iPod docking stations. To top it off, Santa Monica Beachs clean white sand is a short walk away. 1301 Ocean Ave., Santa Monica. (310) 394-2791, shangrila-hotel.com. Patrick Range McDonald
Secret Headquarters in Silver Lake is not the oldest, or the biggest, or the cheapest comic book store in Los Angeles, but it is the most beautiful. The impeccable nerds version of a man cave, this place is outfitted like a private library, with dark wood shelves, creaky wood floors, a ta , manga then delve deep into one sub-specialty: alternative graphic novels. That Henry-Rollins-and-Glenn-Danzig-as-gay-lovers minicomic? Theyve got it. Along with Steve Reeders Cheetahs Never Win, Jeffrey Browns Cats Are Weird and Matt Haverons Harshmallow. What Secret Headquarters lacks in sheer bulk of mainstream titles (Isnt that what the internets for?), owners Dave Pifer and David Richie make up for with atmosphere and knowledge. If you dont speak geek, or dont know what you like, the person behind the register here is happy to recommend something. No secret password required. 3817 W. Sunset Blvd., Silver Lake. (323) 666-2228, secretheadquarters.com. Gendy Alimurung

This isn't any specific story, but it's something I've noticed over the years in parking lots. People just don't seem to hurry to get out of your way anymore, or maybe I'm noticing it a bit more. Exceptions being people trying to corral little kids or people with limited mobility. No, I'm talking about people who can move, but choose not to.1. Crossing the parking lot without looking to see if traffic is coming, then giving you the stink eye when they surprise you into slamming on your brakes. Bonus points if they throw up one or both hands in a "The HECK you doing?!" gesture.2. Walking side-by-side in a slow amble, making you drive so slowly that it barely registers on your speedometer.3. Walking right in the middle of the drive aisle, cart or no cart, like they own the place.I grew up learning that, if at all possible, you stay off to one side or jog to get out of the car's way. When I worked at a store with a big parking lot, customers like this made me late, even when I left early to avoid it.
I'm not sure if they were actually special snowflakes or just annoying (and maybe they had some good hidden reason though they appeared to have no problems with mobility) but I don't think that a very full bus (so that people have to stand) is the place to transport a bicycle, especially if it involves only travelling maybe 500 meters (and if they walked they could have taken a short cut), arguing with an old lady with a walker and some other passengers and passive aggressive sighing and counting to ten in a loud voice (to show how she was trying to calm her anger). She was also commenting to her companion about how it's always so difficult in Finland (the companion was a foreigner). With a little better attitude she might find things easier.
2. Walking side-by-side in a slow amble, making you drive so slowly that it barely registers on your speedometer.
Quote from: CrochetFanatic on October 06, 2012, 03:07:20 PM2. Walking side-by-side in a slow amble, making you drive so slowly that it barely registers on your speedometer.Please remember that not all handicaps are visible and/or qualify for handicap parking spots. On my best days, my fastest pace is described as a "slow amble" by my DH. He keeps pace with me in the parking lot to help if needed.
I present to you a PSA prompted by someone I saw driving today:Please, do not speak on your phone while driving. If you must, please do not "speak with your hands" (the person you are speaking with will not see your gestures anyhow). If you are driving with one hand at your ear and the other waving in the air, somehow maneuvering with your knee (I assume) then at LEAST keep your eyes on the road, not on the half dozen papers spread on your steering wheel and dashboard.
Which begs a question. In a situation like this were you go through customs before boarding the flight into the US - what happens when the flight is canceled. Do you have to leave through Canadian Customs?

|Summary: A Library for Chinese Language Processing Used in Input Methods
libtabe is a library that provides useful Chinese functions and routines that deal with many fundamental elements, such as pronunciation(BoPoMoFo), character frequency, word identification, and word frequency. libtabe also comes with a free word database consisting of 140,000 words. More functionality is expected to be put into the library in the future. A practical application of libtabe is the intelligent phonetic input method interface, bims. bims accepts input in BoPoMoFo and generates output as meaningful sentences. The XCIN-2.5 bimsphone module is based directly on libtabe and bims. In the future, more modules might also be based on it. Authors: -------- TaBE Project, HSIAO Pai-Hsiang <libtabe@SourceForge>

Why's the internet broken? Well, the US government – under pressure from the music and film industries – has drafted a couple of laws to discourage piracy.
One is SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, and the other is PIPA (Protect IP Act). Between them, these laws could shut down sites that have done nothing wrong, and jeopardise any site that links outside its own domain.
Naturally, that's not the intention, but the protests we're seeing reflect that people want the laws governing internetville to be drawn up sensibly, not thrust out in knee-jerk legislation. Above all, the freedom of the World Wide Web is under threat. These are the five best protests we've seen.
"Students, journalists and other plagiarists: beware." That's how the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 introduced the story of Wikipedia blacking out for 24 hours. Some faith they've got in their reporters. But Wikipedia is used by politicians, researchers, teachers and – yes – journalists. And everyone else. The fact that Wikipedia's blackout can be easily overridden does little to soften the blow Wikimedia has dealt SOPA/PIPA's proponents by stealing the lion's share of the headlines. Well, what else were journalists going to be able to write about? Visit the page
Google.com is the most visited site on the internet. Yes, even more than Stuff.tv. So when it blocks out its logo (famously the only thing of substance on the page), it means business. Sadly, this doodle isn't available if you're on a UK IP address. Try a proxy if you're desperate to see it live. Visit the page
The Oatmeal
A serious issue demands serious action. Unless you're a one-man online cartoon satirist called The Oatmeal. Then you can have a laugh. Hit the link to see what you might miss out on if SOPA/PIPA get ratified. Visit the page
The message is simple, but where many of the PIPA/SOPA protests are funereal black and po-faced (admittedly, not without cause) Mojang's Minecraft protest has been styled up like the painted posters for horror b-movies of yore. And for that, we award them extra credits. Visit the page
WordPress hosts a lot of blogs, and it's proud to show off some of its bloggers' work on the homepage. Most of the time. Today, the platform is showing a heavily (self) censored version instead. Point made, and quite well, too. Visit the page

Limbaugh boosted bogus Wash. Times article claiming Al Qaeda prefers Kerry
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
Radio host Rush Limbaugh eagerly touted an August 11 Washington Times article about a possible Al Qaeda plot to disrupt the U.S. elections that quoted an unnamed "U.S. intelligence official" who claimed, "The view of Al Qaeda is 'anybody but [President George W.] Bush.'" But as Media Matters for America has repeatedly explained (here, here, and here), what scant public evidence exists about Al Qaeda's preference, if any, in the November presidential election suggests that the terrorist network seems to prefer the reelection of Bush.
From the August 11 edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: [reading from the Washington Times article] "The view of Al Qaeda is anybody but Bush." Now, if this is correct, if this intelligence data is correct, and if this is what Al Qaeda is planning, and if bin Laden is waiting to give the order -- and that's what this all adds up to -- if this is true, and we'll just play it out because this is what they are telling us -- if this is true, they are going to try to pull a -- a -- a redux of Spain in this country, with the objective of getting Bush thrown out. Anybody but Bush.
Now, granted, this is an intelligence official, not bin Laden using the slogan, but they think that if - if bin Laden is going to launch an attack, or Al Qaeda's going to launch an attack on this massive a scale prior to the election, he, obviously he's trying to affect the election, and the conclusion is that they'd like to get rid of Bush.
Now, I wonder why. If -- if this is true -- we're just asking here -- this is true, why would they want to get rid of Bush? Why they going to get -- maybe -- all right. To survive? Of course, Mr. Snerdley. Way to go, Snerd. It's to survive. They'd rather -- they'd much rather have some softie who's going to farm out our -- our security to international organizations and others, oh, like -- like John Kerry.
As Media Matters for America has noted, the truth is that though little evidence exists suggesting that Al Qaeda has expressed any preference at all regarding the upcoming presidential election, Reuters reported in March that a letter from an Egyptian group claiming a link to Al Qaeda stated that the group supports President George W. Bush's reelection. Moreover, as MMFA has also explained (on July 15 and August 5), the assumption that terrorists sought successfully to bring about the defeat of Spanish Prime Minister José María Aznar, a supporter of Bush and the Iraq war, is questionable.
