text: Smash Bros. Creator on Why Japanese Games Take so Long to MakeToshi Nakamura2/13/14 6:00amFiled to: masahiro sakuraisuper smash bros.nintendo3dswii ujapankotaku eastkotaku core1262EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U are scheduled for release this year and can't come out soon enough. Why does Japanese game development take so long? Advertisement In his semi-weekly column for Weekly Famitsu, Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai addressed a fan's concerns directly. A fan wrote to Sakurai: "It appears that the time it takes to develop a game differs between Japan and other countries, so why do people say that Japan takes a lot of time on development?"Sakurai responded: Advertisement Whether it's domestic or international, development speed is a case-by-case scenario, so I feel this may be a biased opinion. I think the Yakuza team is quite fast considering the scale of their games, and some foreign games can take over 5 years from initial proposal to the actual product release.However, the fact that someone asks this does seem to indicate that it's not completely unfounded. If I were to guess, it seems that foreign studios have the appearance of a stricter product schedule and organization. Then again, in some cases, even if the development period is long, the development staff can be small, so the entire picture is a mystery.Also, the time between announcement and release does not necessarily equal the development period. In most cases, when development actually started is never publicly announced.In any case, whether it's cost-effective or not is what's important. Whether the development period is long or short, the real questions is if the man-hours spent can bring about a profit or results. Of course, this is also a case-by-case scenario.Sakurai has definitely been putting in the man-hours for the new Super Smash Bros. – so much so that apparently the condition of his right arm has spread to his left. "The tendon sheath inflammation symptoms in my left forearm are especially hard to deal with." Sakurai writes. "I've been moving the controller as gently as possible. And losing at Smash Bros...." I want the new Super Smash Bros. as soon as possible, but I want Sakurai to get better more. Development of Japanese games may seem to take longer than other countries, but I can stand to wait a little longer for a game so long as its developer stays healthy.

I haven't heard Cowon DAPs and I'm not anywhere close to a sophisticated audiophile, but my impression is that, with a good amp (presuming you have good drivers to amp), there's much less distortion, which creates a much more defined, specific, clean sound - delivering it much more accurately at any actual volume of listening. As an example, when I listen to my mg6pro through my SR-71B in balanced mode, at what I consider equivalent volumes, compared to running it straight out of my iPod nano without an external amp, it sounds immensely more dynamic and powerful.
Nice, the biggest vent really opens the sound stage up a lot and more air is being felt especially on hard sub bass electro and breaks. Feels like a ear massage or warm rolling bass. I have been thinking of a portable amp even though this Cowon has some good power. Maybe a amp will allow the bass to be pushed better man my ears are ringing from the amount of bass even though my ears have continiously been ringing for the past 20 yrs. Now they are ringing louder.

Australia's opening batsman in the shorter formats, Aaron Finch has been in a red hot form and has averaged more than 48 in the last six months. As the former world champions begin an important season and with the ICC World Cup 2015 a year away, Finch's rise is a boost to their preparations for the tournament. Devarchit Varma explains.
It all began in August 2013, when the right-handed Aaron Finch brought some relief to the Australian camp, smashing his way to a superb 156 against England at Southampton in a T20 international. It came after Australia were drubbed in the Ashes 2013 and needed some impetus in the one-day leg of the tour. Finch's century not only won Australia the game, but also proved that the fortunes of the team were a lot different in the shorter formats of the game when compared to Test cricket.
Since that knock, Finch has played in two T20s and 12 One-Day Internationals (ODIs). He has scored two centuries and three half-centuries, and has been named Man of the Match on two occasions. In the year 2013, he was Australia's fourth highest run-scorer in ODIs with 514 runs in 18 matches, whereas in T20Is, he was the top scorer with 262 runs in six matches, at a stunning average of 43.66. Certainly, his rise in the shorter format of the game comes as a boost to the Australian camp, which will now have to start building a side for the 2015 World Cup.
Also Read
Finch's rise in the shorter formats provides Australia a start to their build-up to the next World Cup. The presence of Michael Clarke, Shane Watson, Steven Smith and George Bailey makes Australia's batting even more dangerous — which they have to nurture and build up to an extent that they are all guns blazing by the time the World Cup begins.
The Ashes is in the bag and they have fashioned a good comeback in Test cricket. However, their plans in one-day cricket would be different. Australia's team performance and general manager Pat Howard revealed to Sydney Morning Herald that the successful partnership of Clarke and Darren Lehmann now allows him to concentrate on players' fitness, the team's scheduling and preparations, and also building a side for the future. Certainly the tournament would be his top priority.
Australia would be playing fair amount of ODI cricket before the World Cup starts, which gives the four-time champions good ground to prepare. As per the Future Tours Programme (FTP) of the International Cricket Council (ICC), they would be playing 17 more ODIs before the tournament. Australia will tour Zimbabwe for a three-match series in July 2014, while there are reports of the Test series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) being cut short to accommodate more limited-overs matches Apart from the current five-match series against England, the Australian side would be taking on South Africa in November 2014 for a five-match series, after which they'll host England and India right before the World Cup for a triangular series.
The rise of Finch and his partnership with David Warner at the top is crucial for Australia. The bowling department looks far more settled as of now, compared to the batting. Australian think-tank will certainly be looking into this aspect of their game as the recovery, which began with the emphatic Ashes win, now allows them to raise their game and bounce back after a prolonged slump.

Track List
Album Notes
Personnel: Ian Svenonius, Katie Alice Greer (vocals); Brett Lyman (electric guitar, percussion); Spencer Kelley (electric guitar); Amber Fellows (piano); Brian Weber (organ); Fiona Campbell , Chris Sutton (drums, percussion); Austin Cooper (congas).
Recording information: Dub Narcotic.
From spinning provocative pseudo-propaganda with his early-'90s band the Nation of Ulysses to lampooning the state of mainstream music with his 2010-era improvisational ensemble Felt Letters (to name just two of his many projects), musician and bon vivant Ian Svenonius has always had a knack for high-concept political/philosophical sloganeering. This trend continued with Chain & the Gang, who over their past two records have taken to task everything from slavery to the pharmaceutical industry, delivered with Svenonius' signature charisma and backed by a funky, lo-fi band. Their previous effort, Music's Not for Everyone, showed some signs of wear in this message-oriented approach, so perhaps that's why on In Cool Blood Chain & the Gang are more concerned with fooling around than flying an ideological flag, a paradigm shift that sets things back on track. Here, Svenonius and company -- new Gang members include singer Katie Alice Greer and drummer Fiona Campbell (Vivian Girls, Coasting), alongside guests like Spencer Kelley (Basemint) and Swimsuit's Fred Thomas and Amber Fellows -- explore matters of the flesh with the feral swagger of "Hunting for Love" and pulpy seduction of "Heavy Breathing," throw an intimate gathering on the simplistic, playful "Surprise Party," and generally seek alternatives to the daily grind with the unsettled "You Better Find Something to Do." In case the new thematic focus isn't obvious, Chain & the Gang underline it: Greer's vocals on the lyrically nihilistic "Free Will" are so perfectly aloof one can almost hear her eyes rolling; "I'm Not Interested (In Being Interesting)" hammers home its title by extending into an unnecessary second track (but maybe that's the point); and "Nuff Said" boils it down for the attention deficient with lyrics like "I said all I'm gonna say/I take the Fifth today." But this isn't to say In Cool Blood completely abandons the band's old ways; in "Certain Kinds of Trash" Svenonius rattles off vintage refuse items (asbestos, floppy discs, ashtrays) as a riff on the disposable nature of life, and the concept, as well as his agile vocal interplay with Greer, culminates in one of the most archetypal (and all-around best) tunes in the Chain & the Gang songbook. Aside from the change in subject matter, the other immediate difference here is the album's production style: recording in mono for the first time, In Cool Blood accentuates the band's raw sonics and captures the energy and allure of its live performances more effectively than its previous records allowed. Detouring from the dogma and moving toward production values that highlight the band's best attributes successfully infuse Chain & the Gang with new blood, and yes, the result is cool, indeed. ~ Chrysta Cherrie

Fixed. amd64 cannot have offset to registers that are outside int numbers.
Thanks Anders, but the problem is still there ...
A few experiments show that the problematic constructs come from adrput() in the OREG case (arch/amd64/local2.c) which does not take into account the change you made recently. case OREG: r = p->n_rval; if (p->n_name[0]) printf("%s%s", p->n_name, p->n_lval ? "+" : ""); if (p->n_lval) fprintf(io, "%lld", p->n_lval); if (R2TEST(r)) { int r1 = R2UPK1(r); int r2 = R2UPK2(r); int sh = R2UPK3(r); fprintf(io, "(%s,%s,%d)", r1 == MAXREGS ? "" : rnames[r1], r2 == MAXREGS ? "" : rnames[r2], sh); } else fprintf(io, "(%s)", rnames[p->n_rval]); return; Strange. My change disallowed the creation of OREGs if the constant value were too large (or small).
Do you have a test case exposing this bug? Unfortunately no ... I'll try to extract something from the pmap.c kernel source to reproduce the problem.
Here it is ...

Moravian Sugar Cake Recipe
Lost classic desserts from our wide and varied past.
Moravian Sugar Cake is a traditional Easter breakfast, though fluffy and sweet coffee cake is always in season. The secret to this warm, yeasty bread's lightness is the addition of mashed potatoes. This recipe is adapted from the traditional recipe shared on the Waconia Moravian Church's website.

- Yield:Serves 12
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:2 hours plus overnight rise
- For the Cake
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water (between 110 an 115°F)
- 1/2 cup (about 3 1/2 ounces), plus 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3 1/2 cups (about 17 1/2 ounces) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 12 tablespoons (6 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup cooked mashed potatoes, unseasoned, room temperature
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Dissolve yeast in water. Sprinkle surface with teaspoon of sugar, cover with plastic wrap and set aside to proof for 5 minutes; yeast mixture should become foamy. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and salt and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fit with an paddle attachment, beat together 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add the egg, beating until just combined, then add the mashed potatoes, milk, dissolved yeast, and vanilla until fully combined. Slowly stir in the flour mixture until a soft dough forms. Shape dough into a ball and place in a large greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in the refrigerator. Dough should double in size overnight.
Punch dough down and knead lightly on a generously floured surface. Roll out the dough so it fits a 13- by 9- by 2-inch greased baking dish. Place the dough in the dish, then cover with a light towel and set in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Move the oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 375°F. Add remaining 4 tablespoons butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon, to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until thoroughly combined. Using your index finger, poke deep holes evenly across the surface of the cake. Swirl your finger to widen the hole to create wells for the topping. Fill each hole with cinnamon and sugar topping. Bake until golden on top and done in the middle, about 30 to 35 minutes. Serve warm.

JONESBORO, GA. | A metro Atlanta man has been convicted of reckless conduct after he failed to tell a sexual partner he had been previously diagnosed as HIV-positive.
Craig Davis, of Stone Mountain, was convicted Tuesday in Clayton County Court. Attorneys for 42-year-old Davis say he may have been misdiagnosed and argued that tests for the virus can be unreliable and don't provide definitive proof of his status.
In court, Davis' primary care physician Dr. Courtney Shelton said she diagnosed him with HIV in 2005 and that he used prescription medications to manage the symptoms.

Clayton County jail officials also said that in 2009, Davis told them he was HIV positive and had medications with him when he was booked.

Texas Longhorns alum Earl Campbell undergoing nerve treatment
AUSTIN, Texas — NFL Hall of Famer Earl Campbell says he is undergoing nerve treatment after doctors ruled out concerns that he might have Lou Gehrig's disease.
The 57-year-old former Heisman Trophy winner said Tuesday that he will be hospitalized in Houston through the weekend. He compared the effects of the nerve problem to a robot that moves its right leg when instructed to move its left.
Campbell was among the NFL's great power backs, barreling over tacklers and never shying from contact in eight seasons. But his punishing running style cut short his career and left with him with a litany of chronic health problems.
Campbell underwent knee replacement surgery last year and still requires a walker to move around.

A Tanks Request.
Posted in the community section. http://forums.worldofwar.net/showthread.php?t=389139

Things every warrior tank thinks every non-tank should know.
My ability to generate threat over an extended time frame is inversely proportional to your ability to generate threat.
Huh? Ok here is what I mean, we will use a mage for this example but the same applies to rogues hunters, or anything else not a warrior or a bear druid.
As a fight commences both of us have two bars. We both have big full green health bars. Under my health bar is a big empty bar. Under your health bar is a big full blue bar. When you do dmg, it drains your blue bar. When I give or take dmg it fills my red bar. You have all the ammo you need at the start of a fight to make all kinds of threat which will pull all kinds of aggro. I don't have much ammo to generate threat or take aggro, it takes me a minute.
The difference is that at the beginning of the fight, your threat making resource; mana, is full. You at this moment can activate whatever ability you want and instantly create tons of threat. Mine is empty. My resource, rage, fills up as I give and take dmg. Over the course of the fight I will get a lot to spend, so the longer the fight goes on the more and more threat I make.
Problem is at the beginning of the fight I have little or no rage. It takes me time to build the threat to hold aggro off of you.
So what does this mean to you? It means that if you start every pull with your biggest most evil 10 second cast fireball, it"s gonna be real tough for me to get aggro off of you with my empty rage bar.
How to apply this advice: You need to learn to pace your dps. Whether you are a mage or a rogue or a lock whatever (except hunters who feign death whenever the cooldown is up) start off the fight with lighter lower dmg attacks.
As the fight wears on rank it up to the bigger meaner stuff. You can do the same amount of dmg, but instead of front loading all of your dps (and threat) back load it.
Seriously, this is the biggest problem I see with every single DPS class in the game. Yes, I can taunt the mob off of you, but then the taunt is on cool down. What if the mob then does an aggro wipe like a knock down and it goes after you? What if it stuns me right after I taunt so I can't build threat? You should be trying to play in such a way that you don"t ever have to see the warrior taunt outside of extenuating circumstances like aggro wipes.
When not to stun.
Ok so you have a stun button. I"m happy for you, no really I am. Stun buttons are great. You see a mob start to cast a heal or a "Level 5 Death to Tank" stun him, that"s fabulous. You see something chewing on a healer, stun them, awesome. A mob "attempts to run away in fear" go nuts stun lock them to the floor.
So why insist on stunning a mob I just pulled? Why stun the mob I just taunted? Here is what happens when you do that. When I am tanking I don't really do dmg to make rage. My little red bar fills up when I take dmg. If you stun early in a pull I don't get pounded on so I don"t gain threat so I don"t hold aggro, so someone like a healer or a mage is going to get the aggro. This wont usually produce a wipe, most mobs you can stun aren't a big deal, but seriously, why make things more difficult then they need to be?
If you absolutely need a rule of thumb, wait till there are two sunders on a target before you stun it.
What to do when you get aggro.
The tank won't always hold aggro. That"s a fact. Maybe the tank sucks, maybe he got feared, maybe he got stunned, maybe you just unleashed a cruise missile that crits the target for umpteen gazillion points before the tank had so much as an auto-attack on the mob. Whatever the reason, eventually you are going to have the mob beat on you.
If you are wearing pajamas and the mob is elite I understand the panic that sets in. You don"t want to get two shotted. I don't want that either. So let me explain first the two things NOT to do.
Don't nuke the thing with another cruise missile! You just pulled aggro so why go nuts trying to dps the thing to the floor before it can kill you? This isn't a lvl 11 Defias Pillager, most likely you wont take it down in time. What you WILL do, is generate another gajillion points of threat that the tank needs to top to get it off of you. Stop hurting it. If you have a threat mitigator (cower, feint, fade, feign death) use it, if not. Just hold still for a sec. It wont be for very long, soon enough you will be sticking it full of sharp metal things or setting the mob on fire again. Just don"t make it harder for the tank to get the thing off of you.
Don't run for the hills! I am a bit baffled as to where this gut reaction comes from. When you were lvl 40 did you outrun a bear or something? I don't think you did. Do you think if you run far enough you will drop aggro? In an instance an elite mob will not drop aggro until you are dead or until you have left the instance. Running won't keep the mob from chewing on your keester the whole time you run around, really it won't. The mob runs the exact same speed you do. Guess who else runs the exact same speed you do. That's right, me!
So if train A leaves Pheonix at 5:10 a.m. Pacific time headed east at 45 miles per hour, and Train B leaves San Diego at 5:10 a.m. Pacific time headed east at 45 miles per hour, at what point does train B catch up to Train A? That"s right! Never! So when train A dies in a monstrous fireball or twisted metal and diesel fuel, it is probably even going to blame train B for not saving it.
You need to run TOWARD the tank, at the very least hold still.
Ok Pally OT, bear OT or other Warr OT, when should you taunt off of me?
Um, really close to never. Why on earth are you taunting off of me? Are you trying to prove a point? Are you trying to demonstrate that you can tank as well as me? Great for you! You have tank buttons too. Now I have to burn my taunt to pull the mob back off of you so you don"t die, or so the healer doesn"t waste mana on you. Now my taunt is in cool down if I need it.
The only time you should taunt off the main tank is if I ask you to. When will that happen? Only if the healer dies and I need to bandage, or if it's a fight that requires a tank rotation. That's it.
Now of course there are times when things are confusing, something is chewing on the healer and you are trying to save the day and I taunt and then you do too. That"s fine, you did the right thing in saving the healer, don"t beat yourself up about it, you don't need to apologize to me for it either. I saw what happened, I"m 4% smarter than I look.
When should you bubble me?
I hope this is a priest asking this, I really don't need divine intervention thanks. If you bubble me I don't get threat from taking damage. Don't bubble me before a pull. Don't bubble me early in a pull. If my bar is mostly red, sure if you think I need the extra mitigation and there isn"t time for a real heal, bubble me.
Don't BOP me please, it's a fantastic way to kill healers.
The pull.
Sometimes we aren't going to fight the mob out where it is standing. Some times I will even shoot the mob and then duck behind a corner. This is not the universal "unleash your mana wielding ranged casting might" signal. What probably happened is I saw a little blue bar under the mob out there; I want him to come to me so I shot him, then broke line of sight. If you shoot him, guess what, he will stand right where he is and shoot back. Then I have to go out there and risk pulling the whole room to get him off of you unless you figure out how to duck behind corners too, that is assuming that the Moonkin and the Hunter standing next to you didn't just take your cue and unload their blue wad all over the mob you just launched WWIII on.
The sheep
We pull 3 mobs on accident. You can sheep or seduce or scattershot or whatever. That's a fabulous idea. Don't sheep the thing I am beating on! You know what will happen? It will break and I will already have another move queued up behind the move that broke the sheep which will break the next sheep you are trying to do since you didn"t change targets. You might not be familiar with the "F" key. Click me, then click "F", now you are targeted on my target, so target something else, anything else and sheep that.
Multi mob pull
Ok so we just got more than we can handle and I am tanking 3 mobs with no offtank. Attack my target would you? I only have so much rage to spread around. If you start shooting something that I am not concentrating on your going to pull aggro, then I have to decide whether I let you die, or whether I go pull it off of you and risk letting the rest of the party die while they keep attacking the thing I was attacking. The "F" key works great for this too.
The off tanks target
Just because I am the main tank does not mean that my target is the most important target to kill. In fact, often it is the opposite. I am the main tank because I take the best beating. The Hunters wind serpent that is tanking that other orc over there wont hold up as well as me. His target needs to die first. My target should be the last one to die. Those other tanks aren't built to take the abuse I do, help them out. I will be ok, I have all kinds of squishies watching my back. Seriously, go fight the other guy"s target.

Reply to: | origination of name by t'challa |
For Azhar, click on the name, which is linked to the dictionary which is part of this site.T'Challa is the name of a superhero character called "The Black Panther" in comic books created by the Marvel comics company. The character is said to be the king of the imaginary African country of Wakanda. It is probable that the name T'Challa was simply invented by the creators of the comic book character, as references to him are all that seems to come up on Google for "T'Challa."

Helen Frankenthaler, a New York artist whose bursts of color achieved by pouring thinned paint onto canvas from coffee cans helped point art in fresh directions after the initial post-World War II explosion of Abstract Expressionism, has died. She was 83.
Frankenthaler died Tuesday after a long, unspecified illness at her home in Darien, Conn., her family announced.
Helen Frankenthaler: The obituary of artist Helen Frankenthaler in the Dec. 28 LATExtra said that in 1952 she began using acrylic paint in her "soak stain" technique. She used oil paint in her early works and switched to acrylics later. —
In 1952, the 23-year-old Frankenthaler hit upon her "soak stain" technique, achieving some of the vibrancy, lightness and pliancy of watercolor by thinning down acrylic paint and pouring it on a large, unprimed canvas spread on the floor of her Manhattan studio.
"Mountains and Sea," her breakthrough in pink, blue and green, set a style that critics — although not universally — have applauded for its lyricism and luminous use of color. Frankenthaler's stain technique influenced others such as Morris Louis, Jules Olitski and Kenneth Noland, giving rise to the Color Field movement of the 1950s and '60s.
Frankenthaler was born Dec. 12, 1928, and grew up amid prestige and comfort on New York's Park Avenue, the youngest of three daughters of Alfred Frankenthaler, a New York State Supreme Court justice, and his wife, Martha. Attending the progressive Dalton School, she was taught by the Mexican painter Rufino Tamayo. She set out to be a painter after graduating from Bennington College in Vermont in 1949.
Among those taking note was critic Clement Greenberg, a leading advocate of Abstract Expressionism, with whom Frankenthaler was romantically involved until the mid-1950s. Through him, she met the New York School of painters, including Jackson Pollock, whose drip-painting technique of laying a canvas on the floor and aggressively raining paint upon it would help inspire her own far more judicious and deliberate way of painting by pouring.
In 1958 Frankenthaler married Robert Motherwell, a leading light from the first generation of New York Abstract Expressionists. They were divorced after 13 years. In 1994 she married investment banker Stephen M. DuBrul Jr.
An early prominent forum was her mid-1960s inclusion in "Post-Painterly Abstraction," a touring survey curated by Greenberg that also featured Noland, Sam Francis, Willem de Kooning and Ellsworth Kelly.
Reviewing Frankenthaler's 1967 solo show at one of L.A.'s top venues, the Nicholas Wilder Gallery, Times critic William Wilson hailed her work as "a primary wellspring in the development of stained color painting.... There is nothing easy about her large canvases.... Their jarringly factual color and sensitively considered edges finally resolve in works of awesome integrity." Major retrospectives ensued at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1969 and the Museum of Modern Art in 1989.
Opinions have varied, however. Current Times art critic Christopher Knight has described Frankenthaler as a "minor, formalist artist," and her influential "Mountains and Sea" as a "slight innovation."
In the 1970s, she began to draw fresh recognition for her printmaking. She studied traditional woodblock printmaking in Japan, and applied her own abstract sensibilities to works such as a series inspired by "The Tale of Genji" from the 11th century.
Frankenthaler maintained a reserved stance in public, never cultivating feminist-icon status as a lone female on the famously masculine New York scene of the 1950s. Being a woman "was unique and at the same time it was very little of an issue," she told the Los Angeles Times in 1970. "I had something to say in terms of painting and went about doing it.... What has made it work, or what makes certain paintings successful or not, has to do with my being a painter and a thinking, feeling person, more than my sex, color, height, origin."
When Frankenthaler's Museum of Modern Art retrospective traveled to the L.A. County Museum of Art in 1990, Times art writer Suzanne Muchnic noted that her "mystique seems to be partly based on staying out of the limelight. Among art world insiders, she is almost as well known for living a privileged, quiet life on Manhattan's Upper East Side as for her lyrical abstract canvases."
Frankenthaler did take a highly public stance during the late 1980s "culture wars" that eventually led to deep budget cuts for the National Endowment for the Arts and a ban on grants to individual artists that still persists. At the time, she was a presidential appointee to the National Council on the Arts, which advises the NEA's chairman.
In a 1989 commentary for the New York Times, she wrote that, while "censorship and government interference in the directions and standards of art are dangerous and not part of the democratic process," controversial grants to Andres Serrano, Robert Mapplethorpe and others reflected a trend in which the NEA was supporting work "of increasingly dubious quality. Is the council, once a helping hand, now beginning to spawn an art monster? Do we lose art … in the guise of endorsing experimentation?"
Frankenthaler, who received the National Medal of Arts from President George W. Bush in 2002, is survived by her husband, four stepchildren and six nephews and nieces.

University of Colorado Masters of Business Administration students are hosting the finals of the 12th annual Net Impact Case Competition this weekend with $17,500 in prizes going to the top teams.
NICC is the first student-run business challenge of its kind, organizers said.
CU MBA student Mary Frash said teams work closely with the sponsoring companies to come up with solutions.
"Even though the case is fake, it's based on real problems that companies face," Frash said. "It's a delicate balance of sustainability and business sense for the teams to come up with real, viable solutions."
Sponsoring companies provide information for the case, as well as judges and prize money for the winning team, she said.

Watch: Julianna Barwick's "Sunlight, Heaven"
Clocking in somewhere halfway between music video and performance doc is Ray Concepcion's treatment of Julianna Barwick's "Sunlight, Heaven," shot recently at Brooklyn's Littlefield. It definitely reclaims all the loopy majesty of her voice. Still, as between fuzzy optics and crystal clear takes of her working her vocal-upon-vocal technique, we are at best undecided--it's just so awesome to see her actually do this stuff in real time. And our favorite Barwick song remains the uber-precise and improbably rhythmic "Bode," which you can download from our YIMBY division, over here. [Chocolate Bobka]

The Yankees and Pirates agreed Friday to a trade that will end the topsy-turvy A.J. Burnett era in the Bronx, and the Bombers are now turning their attention to using some of the money saved in that deal to add Raul Ibañez and Eric Chavez to their lineup.
The trade, which won't be finalized until the commissioner's office signs off on the money to change hands and Burnett passes a physical, will save the Yankees between $6 million-$7 million on their 2012 payroll, according to sources, and net two marginal prospects. The Yanks hope to sign Ibañez and Chavez, both free agents, to incentive-filled deals worth around $1 million apiece.
There has been some sentiment in the organization to sign Johnny Damon as the DH, but Ibañez is the more likely choice, sources said.
According to sources, the Pirates will pay about $14 million of the money left on Burnett's contract. The Yankees have been paying Burnett throughout the year, rather than just during the six months of the baseball season, so they've already paid him $2.625 million in 2012, meaning there is $30.375 million remaining on Burnett's deal.
Burnett signed the five-year, $82.5 million deal after a 2008 season in which he was terrific for the Blue Jays, including multiple dominant outings against the Yankees. He was so good that some Yankees lobbied GM Brian Cashman to sign him and Burnett paid off in '09, going 13-9 with a 4.04 ERA in the regular season and 1-1 in the World Series victory over Philadelphia.

Our week started with a wonderful family day, which included a parade which Kimberly enjoyed very much.
This is how she watched most of the parade. We live in a small town, and most of the parade consists of firetrucks, which will honk horns and blow off sirens if encouraged from the crowd.
We also enjoyed (all of the kids) ice cream from an ice cream truck----as I said, we live in a small town, and this was the first ice cream truck even encountered!
The older kids have begun a backyard bird study and Kimmy is not being left behind.
She can identify quite a few of our visiting birds, especially the goldfinch,
and house finch. These are our the birds that visit us the most. She can also name a cardinal, robin, and chickadee.
We have also been practicing making shapes with Magnext toys. I would make the shape and then Kim copied the shape on her own. She was able to do this quite well with simple shapes like triangles and squares.
I also enjoyed one on one time baking with Kim this week.
She was so proud to make brownies for everyone,
especially her Daddy!
We also planted our sunflower house this week.
Now we will have to see how much patience Kimmy has.
And our favorite books of the week:
Make sure to check out all the Tot school post this week.

Football Association of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FFM) general secretary Igor Klimper has hailed the success of the 2010 UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship, new ground in more ways than one.
FYROM's maiden UEFA final tournament kicked off in style on 24 May when a tournament record crowd of 8,000 watched Spain beat the hosts 6-0 in the official opener. Since then it has been the second best attended finals of all time at this level, behind only Belarus last year. "The success of the tournament can be seen by the records that have been broken," said Klimper. "Aside from the 8,000 spectators at the National Arena, in Kumanovo we have had an average of 2,500 at each game."
On Saturday the finals came to a conclusion as France beat holders England to claim the trophy but Klimper is confident the impact of hosting the competition will extend far beyond that. "Organising this event has already had a big influence on football development in our country, as well as promoting the country itself," he said. "The whole of Macedonia has shown an interest in this event – it has been a big experience for us."

It's not hard to see the divinity behind the water temples that dot the rice terraces of Bali. It's there in the white-clad high priest presiding in the temple at the summit of a dormant volcano. It's there in the 23 priests serving along with him, selected for their jobs when they were still children by a bevy of virgin priestesses. It's there in the rituals the priests perform to protect the island's water, which in turn is needed to nurture the island's rice.
If the divine is easy to spot, what's harder to make out is the banal. But it's...

The People's Game Part Two: Brazil Rejects Neo-Liberal SoccerPosted on Jun 17, 2014By Alan Minsky and Meleiza Figueroa This is the second of a three-part series on the political, economic and athletic struggles of the 2014 World Cup. The first installment, which can be read here, dealt with the history of global soccer. This piece addresses the social and political upheaval in Brazil prompted by the outrageous cost of putting on such a grand global show. Part three has just been published here. Copa pra quem? Contesting the spectacle in the land of the 'beautiful game' Perhaps nowhere else is the bitter pill of neoliberal soccer's political economy harder to swallow than in this year's World Cup host country. In a land full of contradictions, the protests that rocked Brazil during the Confederations Cup tournament in 2013, and continue into the 2014 World Cup, dramatically express how the longstanding fractures and fault lines in Brazilian society have been brought to the breaking point. To the international observer, the protests most obviously illustrate an extreme disconnect between the internal problems of what is still one of the most unequal societies on the planet, and Brazil's external projections to the outside world. Following the lead of fellow BRICS powers (Russia, India, China and South Africa), Brazil's hosting of mega-sports events such as the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics is intended to herald its arrival as a major economic power on the international scene. Its gleaming new stadiums and elaborate urban infrastructure projects are meant as prime showpieces of what, as they say in Brazil, is para o inglés ver (literally, "for the English-speakers to see"). Behind the stage curtain—as in so many places around the world—are crumbling schools and hospitals, worker deaths, mass displacements, and a level of police violence and militarization that would turn any 1970s Latin American dictatorship green with envy. It can also be seen as the contradictory result of a decade in which Brazil's ruling Workers' Party (PT) has attempted to triangulate its obligations to international financial capital and its traditional political base of social movements, workers and the poor. When former PT President Lula da Silva took power in 2003, his answer to the most acute economic inequality in the world was to implement "cheap and easy" social policies to uplift the poorest of the poor (such as the famed Bolsa Familia welfare program), while at the same time maintaining a favorable financial environment for the environmentally and socially rapacious schemes of national and international investors. But this is not the simple neoliberal story of a national government held captive to the dictates of international financial institutions. It is perhaps no accident that the choice of World Cup host cities—such as Manaus, the center of Brazil's 19th century rubber boom, or Cuiabá, the seat of its contemporary soy empire—parallel sites of the nationalist "poles of development" strategies espoused by Brazil's ruling generals in the 1970s. Likewise, within these cities, the stadiums themselves serve as poles for massive urban gentrification schemes that have displaced hundreds of thousands of poor residents, and threaten the livelihoods of thousands more. While the PT's social policies have indeed lifted millions out of absolute poverty (solidifying party loyalty from the PT's popular base of slum dwellers and the rural poor), it has come not at the expense of capital and the Brazilian oligarchy, but from factions of the middle class who have fallen through the economic and political cracks between the government's two primary constituencies. Thus, the 2013 protests have been characterized as a revolt not primarily of poor people (although they are a significant force, especially in areas where they are being violently displaced for World Cup projects), but of the urban middle class—especially the precarious lower strata of students and workers who find themselves increasingly squeezed by the PT's economic orientations and, as Brazil's spectacular growth has slowed, its recent turn to austerity. For some sectors of Brazilian society, the fight is not simply against an inept or corrupt government, but to deepen the social revolution envisioned by the workers, peasants, environmentalists, indigenous communities and other movements that formed the Workers' Party in the first place. Given all these tensions, it is still quite an incredible thing to hear, within Brazil, the phrase coming out of so many mouths: "não vai ter copa" ("there will be no Cup"). The awe-inspiring passion and quasi-religious fervor with which Brazilians are so stereotypically associated with soccer have real roots that run as thick and deep as blood. Even the most rabid, car-flipping sports riot in the U.S. is no match for the generalized, absolutely electric atmosphere that envelops Brazilian cities when the jogão, or "big game," is on. In the arenas, plastic bags full of confetti and toilet paper rolls circulate among the crowd, creating its own grass-roots spectacle at key moments in the game; and the deafening roar from the stands after a goal is as loud as the air is thick with sweat, song and flare smoke. Outside, one can't help but be swept up in the ecstatic carnival that erupts throughout the bairros when the favored team wins: street corners awash in exuberant cheers, spontaneous samba circles and free-flowing Skol beer; whole busloads of people literally rocking the buses with songs, chants and dancing in the aisles; and the ubiquitous pop-pop-pop of fireworks in the favelas, going late into the night.

Interest rates under the U.S. national banking system
According to previous studies, the demand-liability feature of national bank notes did not present a problem for note-issuing banks because the nonbank public treated notes and other currency as perfect substitutes. However, that view, when combined with nonbindingness of the collateral restriction against note issue, itself an implication of the fact that some eligible collateral was not used for that purpose, implies that the safe short-term interest rate is pegged at the tax rate on note circulation. Since evidence on short-term interest rates is inconsistent with such a peg, that view must be rejected.

The sources and dependencies seem to be under license terms that I can live with, the service terms I had to agree to for downloading the windows binary, are fairly standard issue enough; and in fact I did agree to the usage statistics thing. I consider the browser to be software with an integration into their search service. Which is not exactly the same as Firefox, which doesn't say anything (in obvious places) about the search engines you use through it's interfaces searchlet.
So far, I actually quite like Google Chrome. The user interface is very lean, there's no real clutter, yet unlike IE7. I can actually find what I am looking WITHOUT LOOKING ALL OVER FOR IT !!!! And I say this, after having used IE7 rarely in the past but quite a lot last month out of need. The "control this page" button/menu in Chrome I think is wonderfully done, and the fonts defaulted to 16pt on the proportional fonts on my test machine. I've set all fonts 2pt larger and find it quite usable on my 1600x1200 screen. So far I have only two things to cry about, one -- like many browsers it's set to allow all cookies by default. And two -- if there is that, if there *is* a control to restrict websites to a minimal font size, I haven't found it in the past ~5 minutes. Being that I am a person that likes very large fonts (and sit back and with head up at my dual-monitors), that's almost a killer for me: most websites I visit have painfully microscopic font sizes on high resolution displays!!!! I could care less about the EULA, since it's little different from what I have to put up with to use Googles Search, Docs, and Mail, which I'm 'stuck' with for lack of better. I've also got to live with tons of crappy GNU/Linux oriented OSes on the net, so what's another browser to do. The only *good* browser I've met is lynx !!!

Google appears to be changing its EULA:
http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post...change-it.html http://osnews.com/story/20248/Google...All_Your_Bases [..] Google is "working quickly to remove language from Section 11 of the current Google Chrome terms of service. This change will apply retroactively to all users who have downloaded Google Chrome." Last edited by DutchDaemon; 3rd September 2008 at 11:11 PM. |

Call me paranoid, but a couple of months ago I was thinking seriously, sooner or later, Google will take over the internet world. Now it would turn into reality in a next few years.
I feel sad. Google was my inspiration to the Computer Science world. Remember the day I knew nothing about computer, then I discovered the beauty of Google search engine. I became passionate about computing since then. They change, they are just different from yesterday, they day they said "dont be evil" Last edited by 18Googol2; 4th September 2008 at 08:15 AM. |
I don't understand. Why do you feel sad? What did Google do that is evil?
Ok, let's put it this way. Could you find me a Google product that has nothing to do with user information?
All products they develope are driven by customer information. Coincidence? I dont think so. Their products are sastifactory, users are very happy, both product quality, "brand" and cost (most of them free, some of them even open source), yet users are unsure what is behind the scene, what Google actually wants from you? Superior products for free? Are they really that kind? I dont think so. They dont do business in the way MS does. MS's customers buy MS products and hate them. Google's customers get Google products for free and love them. The bottom line is, Google gets to the point that they can control customers, either in positive or negative manner, but the loyalty remains intact "There ain't no free lunch" |

If one was to allow a few omissions for the sake of brevity, some of the major focal points in history went from the Greeks to the Romans, to the British, to the Americans, to who knows? (probably the chinese). Perhaps in computers it would be from IBM, to Microsoft, to Google or Yahoo. There always seems to be a big one some where in time, that has more influence then they deserve. The only question in my opinion, is how much they will screw you in the end. I don't really have any love for Google, I'd probably like to work there someday but that's the nicest thing I could say. Google however, does do one thing that no other service I've used does. It actually helps me find what I'm searching for.

You know, even at 144dpi (I'm not even going to mention the default in Windows), the fonts on this forum are hard to read at 1600x1200px on my 19" monitor when using Google Chrome.
Then again, www.sasclan.org font-size: 10px forums.pcbsd.org font-size: 12px daemonforums.org font-size: 13px If Chromes element inspector is as accurate as it feels handy. It is no wonder that on the Windows machine, I've had a minimal 16pt font size set in Mozilla for years ! but everything looks great under X with the default sizes (Flock) at 1280x800 on my laptop, go figure >_>

Don't you mean px? pt is for print and shouldn't be used on the web. 16px is the standard font size for all browsers.
As far as I am aware, web browsers default to 16pt and would be hopeless without some kind of Times based font.
px == Npx looks huge on my smaller screen, micro on the larger ones pt == how many pixels are in a point on a monitor of N make/size and what says it will be there too ? Windows and Mac OS for example, don't agree on the size of 1point.
My Journal Thou shalt check the array bounds of all strings (indeed, all arrays), for surely where thou typest ``foo'' someone someday shall type ``supercalifragilisticexpialidocious''. |
I can't speak about the resolution (dpi) issues, but by definition there are 72 points per inch. It has always been so.

An Open Letter to President Barack Obama
Dear President Obama:
As political scientists and historians who have studied the Middle East and U.S. foreign policy, we the undersigned believe you have a chance to move beyond rhetoric to support the democratic movement sweeping over Egypt. As citizens, we expect our president to uphold those values.
For thirty years, our government has spent billions of dollars to help build and sustain the system the Egyptian people are now trying to dismantle. Tens if not hundreds of thousands of demonstrators in Egypt and around the world have spoken. We believe their message is bold and clear: Mubarak should resign from office and allow Egyptians to establish a new government free of his and his family's influence. It is also clear to us that if you seek, as you said Friday "political, social, and economic reforms that meet the aspirations of the Egyptian people," your administration should publicly acknowledge those reforms will not be advanced by Mubarak or any of his adjutants.
There is another lesson from this crisis, a lesson not for the Egyptian government but for our own. In order for the United States to stand with the Egyptian people it must approach Egypt through a framework of shared values and hopes, not the prism of geostrategy. On Friday you rightly said that "suppressing ideas never succeeds in making them go away," For that reason we urge your administration to seize this chance, turn away from the policies that brought us here, and embark on a new course toward peace, democracy and prosperity for the people of the Middle East. And we call on you to undertake a comprehensive review of US foreign policy on the major grievances voiced by the democratic opposition in Egypt and all other societies of the region.
