SYDNEY, May 1 (UPI) -- Male facial hair influences people's judgments of men's socio-sexual attributes but these judgments are often contradictory, researchers in Australia say.
Professors Barnaby J. Dixson and Rob C. Brooks of the University of New South Wales showed heterosexual men and women photos of men -- some clean-shaven, some with light stubble and some with 10 days of beard growth.
"We quantified men's and women's judgments of attractiveness, health, masculinity and parenting abilities for photographs of men who were clean-shaven, lightly or heavily stubbled and fully bearded," the researchers wrote in the study. "We also tested the effect of the menstrual cycle and hormonal contraceptive use on women's ratings."
The study, published in the journal Evolution & Human Behavior, said women judged faces with heavy stubble as most attractive and heavy beards, light stubble and clean-shaven faces as similarly less attractive. However, men rated full beards and heavy stubble as most attractive, followed closely by clean-shaven and light stubble as least attractive, the study said.
Men and women rated full beards highest for parenting ability and healthiness. Masculinity ratings increased linearly as facial hair increased and this effect was more pronounced in women in the fertile phase of the menstrual cycle, although attractiveness ratings didn't differ according to fertility, the researchers said.
"Our findings confirmed beardedness affects judgments of male socio-sexual attributes and suggested an intermediate level of beardedness was most attractive while full-bearded men might be perceived as better fathers who could protect and invest in offspring."

Has anyone else noticed that level of character and story development in AG far exceeds the actual strip count?
What I mean by this is that the comic seems scripted, thought out and plotted out far more than pretty much anything else I read online except perhaps schlock mercenary.
Taylor's doing Sci-Fi, so he has a whole universe to script and deal with, obviously there's a lot to do there; but Gothia's doing goth-romance fantasy, and typically this is an invitation to do a lot less heavy lifting in the scripting and planning department.
AG always feels like real people reacting...as in carefully thought out, character backgrounds are layered and the whole thing feels and is deep. If you just look at the single-panel group portraits you can tell some thinking is going on outside the script.

OpenNTPD (part of the OpenBSD project) is a daemon that can be used to synchronize the system clock to internet time servers using the Network Time Protocol, and can also act as a time server itself if needed.
- 1 Installation
- 2 Making openntpd dependent upon network access
- 3 Troubleshooting
- 4 See also
- 5 External links
OpenNTPD can be installed from [community]:
# pacman -S openntpd
The default configuration is actually usable if all you want is to sync the time of the local computer. For more detailed settings, the
/etc/ntpd.conf file must be edited:
To sync to a particular server, uncomment and edit the "server" directive. You can find the server's URL in your area at www.pool.ntp.org/zone/@.
server ntp.example.org
The "servers" directive works the same as the "server" directive, however, if the DNS name resolves to multiple IP address, ALL of them will be synced to. The default, "pool.ntp.org" is working and should be acceptable in most cases.
Any number of "server" or "servers" directives may be used.
If you want the computer you run OpenNTPD on to also be a time server, simply uncomment and edit the "listen" directive.
For example:
listen on *
will listen on all interfaces, and
listen on 127.0.0.1
will only listen on the loopback interface.
Your time server will only begin to serve time after it has synchronized itself to a high resolution. This may take hours, or days, depending on the accuracy of your system.
If you would like to run OpenNTPD at boot, add
openntpd the DAEMONS variable in your
/etc/rc.conf following your network daemon.
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network openntpd ...)
If openntpd is being used to set local system time only, it may be safely backgrounded.
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network @openntpd ...)
To see the status of NTP syncing, visit
/var/log/daemon.log and look for entries with "ntpd".
OpenNTPD adjusts the clock by small amounts at a time. It is designed this way to prevent sudden, large time fluctuations in your system, which could adversely affect system services (e.g., cron jobs). Thus, it can take some time to correct the time.
If your clock is off by more than 180 seconds you can try "
ntpd -s -d" in the console. If ntpd is already running, you can simply restart it with
sudo /etc/rc.d/openntpd restart, as the Arch openntpd package uses the "-s" flag by default. See
man ntpd for more info. You can also set the system clock to as close to possible to the actual time and then let OpenNTPD fine tune the time.
Enable OpenNTPD through systemd
If you are using systemd init instead, you must enable the service related to OpenNTPD as follows:
# systemctl enable openntpd
Then reboot.
Alternatively start manually without autostart on boot:
# systemctl start openntpd
Making openntpd dependent upon network access
If you have intermittent network access (you roam around on a laptop, you use dial-up, etc), it does not make sense to have
openntpd running as a system daemon on start up. Here are a few ways you can control
openntpd based on the presence of a network connection. These instructions should also work for
ntpd found further below.
Using netcfg
If you are using netcfg, you can also start/stop openntpd as a POST_UP/PRE_DOWN command in your network profile:
POST_UP="/etc/rc.d/openntpd start || true" PRE_DOWN="/etc/rc.d/openntpd stop || true"
Of course, you will have to specify this manually for each network profile.
Using NetworkManager dispatcher
OpenNTPD can be brought up/down along with a network connection through the use of NetworkManager's dispatcher scripts. You can install the needed script from [community]:
# pacman -S networkmanager-dispatcher-openntpd
Using wicd
These instructions require wicd 1.7.0 or later, which is available in the standard Arch repository.
You will also need write access to
Make one shell script inside
/etc/wicd/scripts/postconnect/openntpd-start.sh with the following:
#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.d/openntpd start
Similarly, make another shell script inside
/etc/wicd/scripts/predisconnect/openntpd-stop.sh with the following:
#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.d/openntpd stop
Using dhclient hooks
Another possibility is to use dhclient hooks to start and stop openntpd. When dhclient detects a change in state it will run the following scripts:
The following example uses
/etc/dhclient-exit-hooks to start and stop openntpd depending on dhcp status:
[ "$interface" != "eth0" ] && exit 0 if $if_up; then pgrep ntpd &> /dev/null || /etc/rc.d/openntpd start elif $if_down; then pgrep ntpd &> /dev/null && /etc/rc.d/openntpd stop fi
See dhclient-script(8)
Using dhcpcd hooks
See dhcpcd-run-hooks(8)
Error adjusting time
If you find your time set incorrectly and in log you see:
openntpd adjtime failed: Invalid argument
ntpd -s -d
This is also how you would manually sync your system.
Increasing time shift
Starting openntpd in the background could lead to synchronization errors between the actual time and the time stored on your computer. If you recognize an increasing time difference between your desktop clock and the actual time, try to start the openntpd daemon normal and not in the background.
Initialization Failure
Openntpd may fail to initialize properly if it is started before the network is fully configured. In some cases you may want to remove
openntpd from the DAEMONS array in
/etc/rc.conf and add the following line to
(sleep 300 && /etc/rc.d/openntpd start) &
This will wait 5 minutes before starting openntpd, which should give the system sufficient time to set up the network properly. If your network settings change often, you may also consider restarting the daemon regularly with cron.

Here is a list of some nice folks in Fedora who can help you make your first contribution as part of the Outreach Program for Women.
Once you decide what project you are interested in contributing to and explore the information available on that project's wiki:
- You can introduce yourself to the project's mentor and ask them any questions you have about contributing to the project.
- The mentor can help you identify an easy task to take on, introduce you to how work gets done in the project (for example, for design projects, they will introduce you to Inkscape), or guide you with development tasks such as building the project's code, identify an easy bug to start with, and help you with your patch for that bug.
- The mentor can guide you through your subsequent contributions and point to the resources for solving particular issues.
If you are interested in finding a mentor for a project not listed here, you can look at the project's commit log to see who are its most frequent contributors and try to find them on IRC. You can also ask on the #fedora-women IRC channel.
Communicating via IRC
You can find the information about communication about the projects below and on the project pages they have listed there:
- The link next to the project name is the name of the project's IRC channel on irc.freenode.org.
- The string next to each mentor's name in parentheses (like this) is their IRC nick.
You can learn more about the use of IRC for Fedora development and how to install an IRC client here on Fedora's IRC HowTo page. You can find out other contact information and more about each mentor on their individual pages.
Typically, there are other people on the project's IRC channel who can help you, too. Please ask your questions in the channel, and please don't ask your questions in private message unless it's really necessary for privacy reasons. You can address the mentor directly in the channel by using their nick in your question. E.g. if the mentor's IRC nick is kelly, you can say "kelly: hi! I just built project-foo and looking for a bug to fix - I found bug 123 and bug 321 in the project's bugzilla that both look like something I can try to work on, but I wanted to see if you have any recommendation, since you are listed as a mentor for the project"
Mentors, please read the information for mentors before adding yourself and your project to this page.
Project List
Design & UX Projects
|IRC Channel
|Web Page
|Anaconda (The Fedora Installer)
|Anaconda Team Wiki Page
|Máirín Duffy (mizmo)
| We're in the final development stages of a complete redesign of the Fedora installer's user interface, which will debut in Fedora 18 (due to come out just around the time your internship will be starting.) Since the new UI is a big departure from how the old UI looked, we are looking to conduct usability tests and other assessments of the new UI's effectiveness, and we'd like to identify usability and other design issues and also develop plans to correct them. Your internship with this project, then, could involve any of the following:
|Fedora Design Team
Fedora is a pretty old (started in 2003!) project, and over the years we have accumulated a lot of marketing collateral and other various artwork - T-shirt designs, sticker designs, posters, banners, even poker chip and guitar pick designs! However, these artworks are scattered all over our wiki and other web resources, and there is no single nice place to look up a design and grab print-ready artwork to print it out or have it made. Adding to the confusion is that our logo and logo guidelines have changed over the years, so it's not always easy to tell if a given design is approved our not. On top of this, we have a steady influx of new requests for new marketing collateral to be created for Fedora.
Your mission, if you should choose to accept this project for your internship, will be to work with the Fedora Design Team and the Fedora Ambassadors (they manage our public presence at events and have a lot of our goodies printed up & made), track down the best of the best of Fedora marketing collateral and artwork assets, and create a wiki catalog of those assets. You'll also want to work with mizmo in getting approval for those designs, modifying them as needed to meet the Fedora Logo Usage Guidelines. You may also want to try your hand at designing some new assets as needed!
Required Skills:
|Fedora Badges Artwork
Fedora is implementing Mozilla's Open Badges Infrastructure to reward Fedora project contributors with badges to signify the work they have done for the project. Your mission, if you should choose to accept this project for your internship, will be to work with the Fedora Design Team in developing the artwork and design guidelines for Fedora's open badges project.
Required Skills:
Development Projects
|IRC Channel
|Web Page
|HyperKitty (mailing-list archiver)
|HyperKitty project page
|Aurélien Bompard (abompard)
| Mailman, the very popular mailing-list manager, is about to release a new version (v3), which is a redesign of the current one (v2). The web archiver component was stripped off, and an programming interface was implemented to let third parties create their own archivers. HyperKitty is such an archiver. Please see the project page for design overview and details. It is written in Python / Django. Your internship with this project could involve any or all of the following :
|Fedora Infrastructure Data Visualization: Datanommer
Ralph Bean (threebean)
Datanommer is a realtime data visualization web application. Our goal for this project is for it to become something awesome we could have constantly running on a TV to monitor Fedora Project data. This project could start with busmon, and build from there. If you take this project on for your internship, you'll be working with Ralph to implement it.
Skills required:
|Fedora Infrastructure Data Visualization: Datagrepper / Dataviewer
Ralph Bean (threebean)
Datagrepper/Dataviewer is a non-realtime datavisualization tool:
Skills required:
|Fedora Infrastructure Upstream: Port All the Things to Python 3!
This project will involve close coordination with the upstream Python project to convert various Fedora Project infrastructure applications and tools to Python3.
Skills required:
|Fedora Infrastructure Infosec: fuzz zeromq
This project involves trying to find vulnerabilities in zeromq, a high-performance asynchronous messaging library. Specifically, this will include:
Required Skills:
|Fedora Infrastructure Web Application Development: fedbadges
Fedora is implementing Mozilla's Open Badges Infrastructure to reward Fedora project contributors with badges to signify the work they have done for the project. Fedbadges is a project to make that happen. This project involves:
|Fedora Infrastructure Web Application Development: Fedora Packages
Fedora Packages is a project to integrate all of the Fedora infrastructure in one place, presenting a single clean interface for the developers creating software packages for Fedora to look up various data about packages. The web application centers around the packages available in Fedora - each package has a page devoted to it with information about its versioning across releases, current builds, current updates, even listings of the patches Fedora applies to the package.
Fedora Packages has a few features ready for development and also requires some bug fixing (involving various 500 errors.) This project would involve implementing those features and/or tracking down bugs and fixing them.
|Fedora Infrastructure Devops: Logging Tsarina
The "Logging Tsarina" project will involve auditing our infrastructure apps and modifying them to log to reasonable places. Our infrastructure involves Turbogears 1, Turbogears 2, and PHP applications - right now, those apps send their logs to all different places. Super bonus points: Use something like logstash and graphite to make a hot front end for sysadmins - the 10,000-foot view.
Skills required:

DIY Chair Bench
DIY Chair Bench from Hello I Live Here
Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing great and keeping warm today! Sorry I had no post yesterday, but I was working on some Old chairs that became a beautiful DIY Chair Bench for our dining room. I know, I know, I just ordered new chairs and your right. If you remember not too long ago, I built a three pedestal table (since sold to a friend who just had to have it), but the awful thing, every chair I just ordered all fell apart and they were only 3 months old! 🙁 No worries, the company made it right by refunding my money, so all is happy with the world.
However, it left me with no chairs, and I could not toss the old ones until the new ones arrived. Then, we received the notice our new chairs were not coming, back ordered until June of 2014. With Christmas coming and a Villa full of guests, I took matters into my own hands and comb one of my thrift store haunts, I decided to look for thick ladder back chairs for the perfect DIY Chair Bench, which guess what – I found on the first stop – Insert happy dance here!
Once in the door it was like the light shining – there they were, six lovely all wood ladder back chairs staring right at me as I entered the door. The construction was just what I wanted, and let's face it for $40, and my time, I knew they would work 🙂 When I returned home with my great deal, Hello I Live Here got to work and made a new DIY chair bench first.
There were two tall back chairs for the head of the table. It was my decision right then and there, to turn them into our DIY chair bench seating to fit the back of the table. Here's how we did it:
First, I removed the old bottoms and stored them away, and washed down the chairs to remove the sticky debris.
Then, I sat the two chairs side by side, and added 4 pilot holes with our Ridgid driver from The Home Depot to join the chairs with 3 inch wood screws purchased at Home Depot.
Next, I added the broken pieces to the bottom and sides of the chair (I only need 4 chairs around the table so the broken chair was used for parts. I added these piece using Titebond glue and my Ryobi nail gun, both from The Home Depot. What I did not use went to my scrap wood pile for later use).
After that, I added some beautiful molding purchased from Lowe's to cover the joined lines in the wood, and carried the molding to each side of the chair, the front, and the bottom.
Using Elmer's wood filler, I repaired all the cracks, then sanded it down with my Ryobi sander.
To complete the chair, I did an Annie Sloan Old Ochre chalk paint and brown wax mixture. Once dry, I sealed the stain with Minwax quick dry polyurethane, and let dry.
While drying I recovered the chair bottoms. Joining the bottoms together with two braces, and screws on each side between the seat cushions helped to keep them together. Then I upholstered the bench with some great fabrics on sale at Hancock Fabrics, and reattached to the bench seat.
Flipping over the bench, and placing it into its new home why it waits for the three other chairs and new table to be finished.
I hope this post encourages you to try your own version of a DIY chair bench that would go perfect in a dining room or an entry way. It was amazing just watching the piece come together. Well, that's our post for today – but remember, before you ditch those old chairs that have breaks, just remember the great DIY chair bench they all could make! Thanks for stopping by – happy DIY everyone!

Scouting doesn't get a lot of recognition these days. Whether it's a wilderness adventure or learning a new skill, the diverse programs of the Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts offer young people the chance to become better prepared for life.
Surely there are a lot of advantages to Scouting and one bishop is investing some of his valuable time and energy in promoting this worthwhile activity.
A recent story in the Catholic Anchor, newspaper of the Archdiocese of Anchorage, Alaska, looks at the work of Archbishop Roger Schweitz, a former Scout himself, who believes Scouting for both boys and girls has a definite spiritual side in addition to the fun activities.

Capitol Peak Climber's Log
ctruscot - Jul 11, 2004 8:10 pmRoute Climbed: The Knife Edge Date Climbed: July 5 and 6, 2004
Went up Capitol Monday and Tuesday with a guide.
That mountain is no walk in the park and I was glad to be with
a guide because I sure would not want to run off that mountain nor
find the route in a storm. I thought it was hard enough with
someone who knew the route and with good weather. But that's me.
See trip report
DaveC - May 20, 2004 9:15 pmRoute Climbed: k2/knife edge Date Climbed: july 01
Probably the hardest 14er overall. Knife edge was overrated, but the summit block past it, and the K2 downclimb, were noteworthy. Long day, and well worth it. Tight but nice campsite near capitol lake.
sbkelley - May 12, 2004 3:41 pmRoute Climbed: Northeast (Knife) Ridge Date Climbed: July 2002
What a cool mountain - everything from the approach to the peak from Capitol Creek to the campsites below the mountain near the lake to the climb itself was unforgettable! Definitely going to have to go back and do this one again!
Ryan Kowalski - Apr 19, 2004 5:07 pmRoute Climbed: Knife-edge Date Climbed: July 5, 2003
We decided to do this from the trailhead in a day. Wow, what a long day it was. Left at 3 AM, got back around 4 or 5 PM. A LOOOONNNNGGG day. Knife-edge isn't too bad, but the exposure is still amazing. One of the neatest natural features in CO.
Nelson - Sep 4, 2003 4:30 pmRoute Climbed: Knife-edge Date Climbed: August 31, 2003
What an awesome mountain! It was kind to us, and I reached the summit on my first visit. Hopefully not the last.
RyanS - Sep 2, 2003 11:34 amRoute Climbed: Knife-edge Date Climbed: August 31, 2003
Fantastic! We climbed Mount Daly first and were treated to what has to be one of the finest views of Capitol around. We downclimbed Daly's south ridge to Daly Pass, and then took the standard route up to Capitol. From there we descended to the lowpoint on the Clark-Capitol ridge and dropped down into the Pierre Lakes Basin. Out to Snowmass Creek via the rough Bear Creek Trail. Total trip time: 19.25 hours! A trip report is available here
Luigi - Aug 27, 2003 2:45 pmRoute Climbed: Capital Creek Date Climbed: August 24 2003
Great Mountain, two friends and I summited without a hitch, the knife-edge was awesome, but not that bad. There was only one move on the whole mountain that I thought was a little sketchy and that came after the knife edge.. Next time we'll try and do it in one day. Camped out at the lake on Saturday and summited on sunday
mtnhiker13 - Jul 22, 2003 1:52 pmRoute Climbed: Northeast Ridge-Knife Edge Date Climbed: July 20, 2003
Wow - what a mountain. I can't get it out of my head. An incredible climb and probably the pinnacle of my climbing season for this year and perhaps many years to come. This one would be tough to beat.
Many thanks to my climbing partner and sweetheart Aaron Johnson for getting me up this mountain. I couldn't have done it without you! He was right when he said it is a mountain we should climb together. What a sense of accomplishment we shared. A weekend together we will remember always.
We had incredible weather to assist us and a great plan. The wildflowers are wonderful in the area- take lots of film. I will post some pictures as soon as I can get them back and scanned in.
zzril - Nov 22, 2002 12:25 pmRoute Climbed: NE Ridge Date Climbed: July 1992
One of my all time favorites. Beautiful views on a perfect afternoon.
rmjwinters - Oct 6, 2002 6:50 pmRoute Climbed: Knife Edge Date Climbed: August 10
Long day hike, great traverse on the ridge and beautiful views. See trip report for details.
rcorby2 - Oct 2, 2002 6:56 amRoute Climbed: NE Ridge direct from Daly Pass Date Climbed: September 28, 2002
What an amazing approach hike! Climbing partner didn't want to climb so I climbed to Daly Pass by myself and linked up with another party of three. Took the NE ridge direct from Daly Pass. Week early season snow combined with non stop class 4 made movement slow. After 3.5 hours of movement we were just under K2, electricity crackling in the air and resulting thunder clap sent us down. As it turned out, the weather cleared up shortly after that. I'll post a TR in a bit and some video at an external site TBD. I think if we would have followed Roach's primary route we would have made it.
scotchhooligan - Sep 28, 2002 7:20 pmRoute Climbed: NE ridge Date Climbed: Sept 2002
New snowfall added extra excitement. Approach to lake is one of the most beautiful I've ever experienced. Knife edge was fun after I got my friend to man up and do it. Followed ridgeline almost all the way up, which was exposed but not too bad. Rope and gear is dead weight on standard route; never really thought about bringing it anyway.
kcrag - Sep 19, 2002 12:22 pmRoute Climbed: NORTHWEST BUTTRESS Date Climbed: August 31, 2002
18 pitches (crux is 5.9) and 21 hours. Needless to say, the climb took a little longer than we expected. Forced bivy at the top (2am) in order to descend via the knife ridge in daylight. What a beautiful thing to watch the sunrise at the summit of Capitol Peak. We were very fortunate to have had good weather that night (clear, but cold). VERY loose rock. As the 2nd, my helmet saved my head a few times. Be careful and climb safely!
Gimp Man - Sep 12, 2002 11:02 amRoute Climbed: Knife Edge Date Climbed: July 20, 2002
Great climb! Hiked up to lake and camped for Day 1. Day 2 - 5am start to summit and then back down to car. Long day but beautiful climb and hike. One of my favorites in Colorado. Definetly go up and over K2 to get to the summit.
rmjwinters - Aug 18, 2002 9:34 pmRoute Climbed: The Knife Edge Date Climbed: August 10, 2002
Long day from TH. I would recommend up and over K2. The north slopes of K2 are loose. The knife edge was great! It seemed to be overhyped and there are plenty of footholds a few feet off the knife edge itself. Great climb with lots of Class 3 and 4 to keep you company.
Matt Mahoney - Aug 3, 2002 8:59 pmRoute Climbed: Capitol Creek/Knife Ridge Date Climbed: July 30 2002
Climbed with Scott B. as a day hike in 10:15 in perfect weather, sunny and clear all day. K2 to summit took 2 hours each way with constant exposure to 1000-1500 ft. falls. You have to think about every hand and foot movement. Hours of class 3 and 4 climbing. It was amazing. We did not use ropes. Scott has climbed 5.10 unroped and thought this and yesterday's Bells traverse was more scary because the danger is so prolonged.
theplugger - Aug 30, 2001 11:49 amRoute Climbed: Capitol Creek Approach Date Climbed: 8-26-95
First of all a backpack in to Capitol Lake followed by a climb of the peak via the Northeast Ridge the next day. Absolutely one of the most challenging and exciting of the 14er's I've done! Wow, what views from up there! This is one I'd definitely repeat if I could still climb 14er's!!
miztflip - Aug 30, 2001 5:54 amRoute Climbed: Northeast Ridge Date Climbed: July 4, 1999
What a great climb. Tightroping the Knife Ridge was a blast.

Aug. 29, 2015, of this year marks the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's lethal brush with New Orleans. Although Katrina did not hit New Orleans head-on, the whip of her tail as she swept past the city's southeastern perimeter caused a surge of wind and waves that only a head-on Category 3 could deliver. Amongst the survivors of the storm is New Orleans' oldest resident, Racism.

Bad first day for the British as cyclists flop, then flip at London Olympics
LONDON — For seven years the British Olympic Committee and its own citizenry have pinpointed these 2012 Olympics as the time when British athletes make a world splash. Call Saturday's first day a washout.
What a disaster. First, cycling sprint king Mark Cavendish finished 40 seconds back in the road race, never contending and grousing about a conspiracy afterward. Second, the archery team got destroyed in the first round by Ukraine. How does the birthplace of Robin Hood lose in the first round in archery to Ukraine?
Third, bad boy but charismatic judoplayer Ashley McKenzie got stopped in his first-round match, albeit to No. 2-ranked Hiroaki Hiroaka, and Kelly Edwards also lost to a No. 2 from Japan, Tomoko Fukumi.

(EUR) Whitney Houston is reportedly in final negotiations for a big-screen comeback in Sony's remake of the 1976 film Sparkle, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Jordin Sparks will make her feature film debut in the movie, and Mike Epps has also been cast.
Mara Brock Akil wrote the script and her husband, Salim Akil is directing. The latter worked with Epps on Sony's Jumping the Broom.
Houston, meanwhile, hasn't been in a movie since she travelled to Portland, Maine to make Penny Marshall's 1996 The Preacher's Wife opposite Denzel Washington.
Sparkle focuses on three sisters who form a musical group and then have to contend with the ups and downs of stardom. Debra Martin Chase is producing the Sony project. Production is sche-duled to begin next month.
Tri-Star Pictures is distributing in association with Stage 6 Films.

Wholesale 4G satellite broadband company LightSquared, whose proposed network came under fire after tests showed it interfered with Global Positioning System signals, is back on the offensive, asking the Federal Communications Commission to confirm its right to use the spectrum licensed to company by the agency.
In addition, LightSquared, in its petition for a declaratory ruling, wants the FCC to confirm that GPS device-makers have no right to interference protections since they are not licensed users of that spectrum.
"The one inescapable conclusion from two rounds of independent testing is that the incompatibility problem is not caused by LightSquared's network," Jeff Carlisle, LightSquared's executive vice president for regulatory affairs and public policy, said a press statement from the company.
Related coverage:
Sorry, LightSquared, GPS was there first
Proposed 4G network threatens vital GPS services, Congress told
"Commercial GPS device-makers have had nearly a decade to design and sell devices that do not infringe on LightSquared's licensed spectrum," Carlisle said. "They have no right to complain in the eleventh-hour about incompatibility when they had ample opportunity to avoid this problem," he added.
Carlisle said company has "had FCC authorization to build its network for over eight years and that authorization was endorsed by the GPS industry, and fully reviewed and allowed to proceed by several other government agencies."
GPS applications often use radio channels not originally intended for GPS. They also underlie critical activities, including weather forecasting and air traffic control.
On Dec. 14, the Transportation and Defense departments jointly issued a release stating that testing showed that LightSquared signals "caused harmful interference to the majority of other tested general purpose GPS receivers." The Federal Aviation Administration also found interference with a flight safety system designed to warn pilots of approaching terrain.
Congress, as part of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act passed last week, is barring the FCC from approving LightSquared's network for commercial use until the DOD's interference concerns are resolved.
Without resolution, LightSquared could go under. According to a review of the company's financial statement by Reuters, the company is in danger of running out of money by the second quarter of 2012. LightSquared registered a $427 million net loss during the first nine months of this year.
LightSquared has invested billions of dollars in its proposed network and plans to invest billions more. Its business model is based on selling a wholesale 4G network to be built by Sprint. In July, LightSquared announced a 15-year contract with Sprint whereby LightSquared would pay the mobile phone company, which is having money problems of its own, $9 billion for the job.

@Zelda Thanks for posting the link. That helped me to understand your viewpoint. I think I was partly misinterpreting what you wrote. For the benefit of everyone, I hope some authoritative ruling and/or technical solution will bring resolution to this issue in the near future. The longer this issue persists the more costly it will be everyone.
To Jafo:
To answer your question, please look at following blog
This summarizes the situation pretty clearly:
The ATC permit was given to MSV, a satellite company, 9 years ago, to supplement a satellite system, not to implement a full size terrestrial mobile broadband network.
@ Jim and Zelda:
Is there something in the document I cited that I'm missing or something in another document that I'm missing that supports your viewpoints? If I read the entire document I cited at face value, and particularly paragraphs 13 and 23 - 28, it seems to me that it contradicts your assertions.
Again, this is not my field of expertise and my knowledge of the subject and supporting documentation is very limited. So if you can point me toward documentation that supports your viewpoints I would sincerely appreciate it.
I believe that David makes the most important point. The frequency spectrum used for GPS is meant for satellite use. Any land based high powered transmission in the close vicinity of the GPS frequencies will easily over power the weak signal from the GPS satellites. Lightsquared is taking advantage of their original license by using the space frequencies on the earth's surface.
To Jafo: Yes, the radio issues are critical here, and this is not the first time that this kind of screw-up has happened, especially in the last 20 years, after spectrum in the lower bands (below 3 GHz) became so valuable.
There have been precedents of huge gifts or opportunistic hand-outs in the cellular business, e.g. Sprint spectrum refarming, or Omnipoint (a predecessor to T-Mobile USA) grant of PCS spectrum.
This one however takes the cake.
When the grant of ATC was given to the satellite companies that Harbinger Capital bought, there was no GPS in mobile phones, no broadband mobile, and nobody had any idea about LTE.
So, basically, there were no EMC analyses, since no one knew what kind of system would be established as the ATC components of the satellite systems. But GPS existed, there were GPS receiver manufacturers, who were confident that no one would mess with them, since this was a technology very much in the public interest (ie the prime mandate of the FCC), as well as national security.
Now LightSquared has suddenly identified the public interest for mobile broadband everywhere as overriding everything else.
They are mistaken on three counts:
- National Security and Public Safety
- Straightforward radio engineering
- FCC rules and precedents in adjudication of these kind of problems.
I would bet there will be no declaratory ruling, and LS might limp along for a while (their 10 MHz is not enough to make a good network) but there will be no big windfall.

Big pot bust, five handguns, two arrests
MONET agents eradicated a large marijuana operation located on Forest Service lands in the Inyo National Forest this week as part of the campaign of the Mono Narcotic Enforcement Team (MONET) to combat the cultivation of marijuana within Mono County,
The eradication took place Wednesday, Aug. 15, and Thursday Aug. 16. Over two days, with the assistance of two helicopters and one fixed wing aircraft, law enforcement eradicated approximately 30,000 marijuana plants from a large grow site, which was approximately 1.5 miles in length, with a potential street value of approximately $108 million dollars.
During the eradication, two suspects were taken into custody within the grow site. The suspects were identified as Edilio Navarro, 34, of Lake Elsinore, Calif., and Nemessis Venegas, 22, of Perris, Calif.
During the arrest, five handguns and one rifle also were seized. There are still several outstanding suspects, who are believed to be armed. The suspects were booked in the Mono County Jail with bail set at $5 million, and they could be ultimately charged in federal court.
With these types of illegal marijuana grow sites, public lands are routinely desecrated with garbage, piping material, etc., officials said.
The U.S. Forest Service will return to the affected area and complete an extensive cleanup and restoration operation due to the destruction of public lands by these cultivators.
The cleanup and restoration is not only time consuming, but labor intensive and is done at a high cost to the taxpayers.
MONET agents say they would like to warn outdoor enthusiasts of the dangers of locating one of these grow sites. "If you see anything that looks out of place such as cleared areas of forest that should not be cleared, fertilizer bags, black plastic pipes, large camps that seem out of place, or actively growing marijuana plants, please immediately leave the area and note the location, if possible, and notify the appropriate law enforcement agency," they said.
These large-scale marijuana cultivators are routinely armed and are known to protect the gardens in any way they can.
MONET agents were assisted by the Inyo Narcotics Enforcement Team, Inyo County Sheriff's Office, Mammoth Lakes Police Department, Mono County Paramedics, Mono County Public Works, California Highway Patrol, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, California Department of Justice (CAMP), and the U.S. Customs Service.

K&N Typhoon Air Intake System 69-3525TS
30 days returnmoney back
free Shipping!
lowest priceguarantee
safe shoppingguarantee
The K&N 69-3525TS Typhoon air intake system is a free-flowing, mandrel-bent aluminum tube air induction system designed to fit some Ford Mustang models. The restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing are replaced by the K&N Typhoon air intake which is designed to dramatically reduce air flow restriction as it smoothes and straightens air flow. This allows your engine to inhale a larger amount of air than the factory air intake. More air means more usable power and acceleration throughout the engine's RPM range. The 69-3525TS air intake comes with a chrome topped K&N high-flow air filter and a heat shield that installs into the previous air box space. Air is directed through the intake tube into the engine's throttle body for a guaranteed power gain. The intake tube has an attractive silver powder-coat finish that's made to last and it accommodates the factory mass air sensor and crank case vent hose. The oversized cone shaped air filter can be used for up to 100,000 miles before servicing is needed depending on driving conditions. This air intake is relatively easy to install usually in 90 minutes or less using existing factory mounting points. The tools needed are a screwdriver, ratchet set, and several wrenches. Some Typhoon air intakes are not legal for sale or use in California and other states adopting California emission standards while others are CARB exempt and 50 state legal.
- Designed for compact, sport cars, and muscle cars
- Adds horsepower and increases acceleration
- Including an oversized, high-flow K&N air filter
- Multiple high quality finishes available
- Choose short ram, cold air and complete cold air intakes
- Easy to install using factory mounting points
- Backed by a million mile limited warranty
30-day money-back guarantee

For President Barack Obama, the final government jobs report before Election Day could have been worse. It also could have been better.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced solid job growth of 171,000 workers in October and said hiring was stronger in August and September than first reported.
But the unemployment rate ticked up slightly to 7.9 percent from 7.8 percent. That was mostly due to an increase in those seeking work _ but it handed fresh ammunition to Republicans.
Republican challenger Mitt Romney called it "a sad reminder that the economy is at a virtual standstill."
"Unemployment is higher today than when Barack Obama took office," he told a rally in West Allis, Wis. "Think of that."
The jobless rate was 7.8 percent in January 2009 when Obama was inaugurated, but has been trending down since peaking at just over 10 percent in late 2009.
Economists suggested the October jobs survey _ along with recent improvements in retail sales, consumer spending and manufacturing _ show a slowly but steadily recovering economy, not one at a standstill.
The new numbers allow Obama to dodge the bullet that a truly bad jobs report could have presented just four days out.
At a rally in Hilliard, Ohio, the president said the new report shows "real progress," the best in eight months, but added that, "We know we have more work to do."
There may not be many voters swayed by Friday's report. Some 23 million Americans have already voted either by mail or in person, and polls show an ever-shrinking number of the truly undecided.
But that also makes the remaining few even more coveted as Obama and Romney engage in final whirlwind cross-country weekend dashes through battleground states to win over wavering voters and to energize core supporters.

Her Turn
"I want a divorce. Drew can have everything — the house, the cars, the dog. I'm in love with someone else, a man who doesn't try to make me into something I'm not — unlike Drew, who wants me to ditch my job, have children and stay home with them. I have no intention of doing that, at least not right now. Besides, with Drew away so much, and totally unavailable when he is here, what kind of father would he make, anyway?
"When we were engaged, Drew started looking for a house right away and told the Realtor that he wanted a place in a good school district. That surprised me — we'd never even talked seriously about kids or schools — but he seemed so happy that I never said anything. What keeps us going now isn't passion or romance, but decorating projects and financial planning.
"Ever since Drew launched his own brokerage company, he's been traveling constantly, and often at the last minute. He'll call from a taxi on the way to the airport to say, 'I'm off to Minneapolis.' Then I don't hear from him for days. When he returns, he runs around to the mechanic and the dry cleaner. I'd be happy just to go for a walk with him, but he's always in a rush to get things done.
"Yet when it comes to my own job, Drew is unsupportive. He never postpones any of his trips in order to attend my company's social functions, even though he knows they're important. He'd rather discuss adding a new deck to the house than ask me about the deals I've made. When I come home tired, he'll say something like, 'Maybe it's time to cut back on your hours — or see what other jobs are out there.'
"My career is exciting but challenging, and with the industry in a slump right now, my performance is especially important. If I lose an author to a competitor, I don't want to speak to anyone until I get my head together. But when I'm in that kind of mood, Drew doesn't console me or give me a pep talk. He just says, 'Don't worry, hon. It won't be long before you can kick back and have a baby.' I don't appreciate having my work dismissed that way.
"For a long time, I thought Drew might be dismissing me because I wasn't loving or sexy enough. So I'd cook a special dinner, and he would wolf it down and then go pack for his next trip. I'd cuddle next to him on the sofa, and he'd move away. But I sucked up my pain, telling myself that I was just being selfish.
"With Drew traveling all the time, I started to go out for drinks or dinner with friends from work. That's how I met Bruce, and one thing led to another. After we slept together for the first time, I was sick with guilt, but then I realized that I wouldn't have done it unless I was very unhappy. Bruce listens and gives me sensible advice. He knows how to relax, be spontaneous and have fun. And he never tells me I should quit my job.
"When I told Drew that I was leaving, he apologized for not paying enough attention to me. But I honestly don't think he can change."
His Turn
"I can't believe Maxine cheated on me. I'm a wreck. I've bought five relationship books to figure out what went wrong and how to get her back. I honestly had no idea that Maxine was this unhappy, especially now that all our dreams are coming true: We have a nice house in a great neighborhood, solid investments and good jobs. If we work hard and save money for the next few years, when we have kids we'll be able to afford to cut back on our workload and really enjoy being with them.
"Despite what Maxine thinks, I'm thrilled that she's doing so well in her career. I just thought that we both wanted to shift our priorities from work to family eventually. Does Maxine seriously expect to keep up this kind of pace when we do have kids? Her job is consuming her life, and I wonder if she's really as happy as she claims to be. When a deal doesn't go perfectly, she withdraws and snaps, and nothing I say makes her feel better. How can I not suggest that she think about reducing her hours or even finding another job? Somewhere along the line, you have to make compromises, and if this career isn't working for her, then why not start there?
"I admit I'm not crazy about the nights Maxine spends out drinking with her colleagues, especially if that's what led to the affair. But I can hardly tell her what to do, when my own job requires me to travel all the time. What I do understand is how hard it is not to get wrapped up in work. When I'm home from a trip, I'm so scattered that I don't know which errands to do first. I've always felt guilty about being away so much, and I realize I haven't been a good 'corporate husband' to Maxine. But I had no idea I was literally pushing her out the door.
"I love Maxine so much that I'll let her go if that's what she wants. But I hope she'll give me a chance to be the husband she's always wanted."
The Counselor's Turn
"Maxine and Drew had a 'polite' marriage. Both avoided confrontation. What's more, they had never hammered out the specifics of their plans for the future. Drew had assumed that Maxine wanted the settled family life he was working hard to provide, simply because she hadn't told him otherwise. Like many people who are afraid of commitment, Maxine found it easier to focus on what Drew wasn't giving her than to acknowledge her part in the marital mess.
"Much as he loved Maxine, Drew was afraid of pushing her further away by objecting to her affair. But sometimes you have to risk losing someone before they realize that you are serious. Finally, Drew found the courage to order Maxine out of the house until she was ready to work on this relationship. Maxine spent the next two months living with friends; finally, realizing that she didn't want to lose Drew, Maxine ended her affair and moved back home.
"Both Drew and Maxine prided themselves on being good communicators, yet they'd never had any meaningful conversations about their goals. Maxine expected her husband to know instinctively how much her work meant to her and what direction she wanted her life to take. I urged her to talk about her goals and feelings.
"Similarly, Maxine had assumed that Drew was negating her work, when in reality, he was trying to help in the only way he knew how. She also realized that as much as she loved the challenge of her job, the stress was indeed piling up. One way for both of them to cope was by talking about their day. They found it a very helpful way to reconnect and feel supported.
"Now, for the first time, these two were ready to discuss where they saw themselves in a year, in five, in ten. Maxine said she did want children, but not for a few more years. That plan was fine with Drew. 'I didn't mean to imply that I was rushing her to start a family,' he told me.
"Intimacy doesn't always come naturally, no matter how much two people love each other; it takes time and skill. These two now pay attention to the small things that trouble them and voice their feelings as they come up so hurts don't become deep wounds later on. They're spending more of their free time having fun together, and they kiss and hug often. While Drew is on business trips he calls frequently to say, 'I miss you,' instead of assuming that she knows.
"For Drew, recovering from Maxine's infidelity will take time. 'When you feel emotionally shaky, tell her,' I said. As the betraying partner, Maxine has the responsibility of listening to his pain. After Drew vents, Maxine tells him, 'I love you, and you're the only man I want.'
"'I've re-ordered my priorities,' Maxine said during our last session. 'I now know that I can count on Drew to be there for me in every way. And I feel confident that my choices are right for me. When the time comes to start a family, we'll know it, and we'll both be ready.'"

Growing up in New Orleans, writer Michael Lewis learned three lessons that stuck with him for life:
Success and happiness are very different things.
Never become a lawyer.
You don't need to come from a bookish environment to know how to spin a helluva story.
Maybe the storytelling part, Lewis speculates, stems from another thing New Orleans taught him. With its Creole-Cajun culture and hedonistic ethos, the Crescent City schooled him to view his native country like a skeptical foreigner trying to make sense of outlandish things that appear normal to the rest of America.
"If you grew up in New York you're unaware how strange Wall Street is," says the 51-year-old author of "Moneyball," "The Blind Side" and "The Big Short," plowing through a bowl of corn flakes on a recent morning at the Chateau Marmont. "It's like the fish is unaware of the water it swims in. But for me it was just bizarre. It's funny."
Lewis today might be the most insider-ish outsider writer alive. With an academic's grasp of brain-teasing concepts and the skewering wit of a morning drive-time host, he has crafted a distinct personal brand by writing about business matters with both expertise and with a rare accessibility.
For previous generations of journalists, the big narratives were about war, revolution and politics. Today the business of much of the world is business, which helps explain why Lewis' latest work, "Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World," (W.W. Norton, $25.95) ranked No. 2 on last week's New York Times hardcover nonfiction bestseller list and holds that position on this Sunday's Los Angeles Times list. "Moneyball," first published in 2003 and recently released as a hit film starring Brad Pitt as iconoclastic Oakland A's General Manager Billy Beane, was No. 3 among the paperback nonfiction titles on the NYT list, and "The Big Short" was ranked 13th on the same list.
Able to wring juice from the driest of subjects, Lewis waxes about business with the verve that David Halberstam and Oriana Fallaci brought to eyewitness accounts decades ago of Vietnam battlefields and Mexico City massacres. He partly credits his lively prose style to his London apprenticeship as a writer and associate editor with the razor-tongued British magazine the Spectator after wrapping up his studies at the London School of Economics.
"Going from American journalism to British journalism is like going from eating bratwurst to eating Mexican food," he says. "You go from feeling kind of constipated to feeling like you got the runs."
In contrast to brilliant but sleep-inducing economics writers of the past, Lewis generally eschews theory in favor of colorfully rendered characters, cinematic scene-setting and cut-to-the-chase analysis that almost any lay reader can fathom. "Boomerang" follows that blueprint, amplifying on the scathing insights yielded by his previous bestseller, "The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine," a 2010 critique of the subprime mortgage fiasco.
In 213 snappily written, rage-inducing pages, "Boomerang" chronicles how hubristic money men, bumbling bureaucrats, feckless politicians and clueless consumers in locales as varied as Iceland, Ireland, Greece, Germany and, yes, California, nearly bankrupted the planet — and still may succeed in doing so. Much as he explicated major-league batters' on-base percentages in "Moneyball" and the game-changing role of pro football left tackles in "The Blind Side," Lewis in "Boomerang" lays bare the nuances of hedge fund shell games and shady derivatives swapping.
If the book, essentially a compilation of pieces written for Vanity Fair magazine, reads like a prophecy-in-progress, Lewis fears we haven't hit bottom in the global financial meltdown. "I just think it's going to take more pain," he says.
Congenitally chatty and assertively charming, Lewis possesses a divining rod for finding the sweet spot between popular interest and inside baseball — literally, in the case of "Moneyball." Subtitled "The Art of Winning an Unfair Game," the book is reaping a readership windfall from this fall's release of Bennett Miller's feature film, which dramatizes how Beane rattled conventional wisdom by stocking his team with low-paid, undervalued players who had the ability to get on base rather than with millionaire superstars.
"The Blind Side" expresses a similar theme of how true value often is misjudged and overlooked. The improbable true story of how a young, African American athlete born to a crack-addicted mother was adopted by a rich, evangelical Christian family, it was turned into a popular film featuring an Oscar-winning performance by Sandra Bullock.
As an investigative raconteur, Lewis proceeds from the axiom that, whether in a Wall Street boardroom or on a baseball diamond, you must focus on individuals and their behavior to understand societies. Every failed bank in Reykjavik, Iceland, every collapsed mortgage in suburban Dublin, Ireland, every Molotov cocktail hurled in Athens' Syntagma Square, was precipitated by singular human actions, he observes.
"The credit crisis, it's not just evil bankers, although there are plenty of those, it's not just the banking system losing its mind," Lewis says. Millions of Americans who made reckless decisions also are to blame, Lewis points out.
Lewis credits his tale-telling instincts to the daily gab-fests he absorbed as a Louisiana youth. "I didn't know anybody who knew anybody who'd written a book, with the one exception of Walker Percy, who was this freak who lived across the lake," he says. "But everybody tells stories in New Orleans. A New Orleanian ran Goldman Sachs in the golden age of Goldman Sachs, [Gustave] "Gus" Levy. And I think it's because he really emerged from New Orleans with an advanced degree in spinning.... . And the financial world is all about that."
In one way, Lewis acknowledges, his hometown — poor, sinking, bleeding population — epitomizes failure. In another, it stands undaunted as a symbol of "misvalued" things — people whose gifts go unrecognized, good ideas that get drowned out by bad ones, the rare gem that almost winds up on the garbage heap.
"Never become a lawyer — you've got to listen to other people's problems," Lewis' lawyer father often said, and the son took half of that advice. He now lives with his wife, former MTV reporter Tabitha Soren, and their three children in Berkeley, where, Lewis jokes, his leftier-than-thou friends regard him practically as Rush Limbaugh.
Even so, it's the first community he's lived in that reminds him of New Orleans' small-town affability, a place where life can be slowed and savored while the human success stories, in their polished shoes and pinstripes, rush by.
"What was important inside New Orleans was who your mama was, what carnival organization you belonged to, where you went to school," he reflects. "It wasn't that there was an attitude that was hostile to success, it was that success was family, it was 'did you give pleasure to people?' It was just kind of being. It wasn't achieving."

Balanced attack helps Spurs top Nuggets
San Antonio, TX – Tim Duncan posted a double-double with 23 points and 14 rebounds, as all five San Antonio starters scored in double figures in the Spurs' 100-99 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday at AT&T Center.
Danny Green drained six 3-pointers en route to 20 points, while Tony Parker registered a double-double with 18 points and 11 assists for the Spurs, who have won six straight at home and five of their last six overall.
"It's huge because we have a lot of tough games (coming up)," Parker said of the win. "We need to take care of home court advantage."
Kawhi Leonard and Tiago Splitter added 11 and 10 points, respectively, in the victory.
JaVale McGee led the Nuggets with 21 points and 11 boards, while Wilson Chandler chipped in 15 points for Denver, which has lost back-to-back games on the heels of a 15-game winning streak.
Andre Miller finished with 14 points and eight assists, but missed a potential game-winning shot as time expired.
San Antonio held an 83-75 lead after three frames, but the Spurs went the first six-plus minutes of the fourth without a field goal, allowing the Nuggets to grab an 89-88 lead on Miller's jumper just over four minutes in.
Duncan's layup with 5:45 to play gave the Spurs their first field goal of the frame and the veteran big man followed with a turnaround jumper just over a minute later to give the Spurs a 94-89 advantage.
Denver answered with a 6-3 swing to pull within two with under two minutes left, but Manu Ginobili drained a clutch 3-pointer at the other end to make it 100-95 with 1:26 left.
Danilo Gallinari drained two free throws on Denver's next touch, and after Parker missed a jumper, Gallinari drew contact and hit two more from the charity stripe to bring the Nuggets within one with 34.2 ticks remaining.
Duncan got an open look at a midrange jumper on the ensuing San Antonio possession, but his shot was off the mark and the Nuggets grabbed the board before calling a timeout with 10.2 seconds on the clock.
On the final possession, Miller got the ball on the right wing and drove to the lane with time winding down, but his left-handed runner was off the mark, allowing the Spurs to escape with the victory.
"I've seen Andre make that shot a hundred times," Nuggets coach George Karl said of Miller's runner. "But I'm not disappointed. When Gallinari hesitated (before passing to Miller) it took enough time off the clock where Andre didn't have much anything to do but attack aggressively."
Denver shot 51.1 percent (23-for-45) from the field in the first half, and despite going 0-for-5 from long range, the Nuggets were able to take a 54-51 lead into the break.
The Spurs caught fire in the third, as they shot a scorching 62.5 percent (10- for-16) from the floor and outscored the Nuggets by 11 in the frame to take an 83-75 advantage into the fourth.
