World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria - Three weeks in
World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria - Three weeks in
In week one I became a monk and acquainted myself with a new skills system. In week two I explored Monk Healing and lamented the stagnation we've all felt in the Outlands. Three weeks has felt so long, but at times also so short. The finish line is close. As I write this, I am a mere 10 levels away from hitting the cap.
While I am nearing the last leg of the 1 to 90 levelling process, I thought I would spend some time sharing my thoughts on some of the other changes Mists of Pandaria has introduced into the game. There have been many changes made to existing in-game functions with the expansion pack�s release - more than I could ever hope to cover in one article. Some of the changes Blizzard have made I agree with while others I have a love-hate relationship with. One of the first things existing players may notice is the changes which have been made to the way trade professions operate. In the past, there have been tools required for each profession and were required to be carried around, like the mining pick, blacksmith hammer, fishing pole and skinning knife. This is no longer the case in Mists of Pandaria. Blizzard has done away with those bag space hogging tools and now allow you to carry out your profession without them. No longer will I be the victim of my own poor planning as I begin a new character, kill a few beasts and try skinning them only to find I forgot to buy a skinning knife. The profession tools aren�t gone from the game entirely, they simply operate in a slightly different capacity - now, carrying a profession tool will instead provide bonuses such as an increase in skill level. I am so pleased to see a rethink in the way professions are approached. Professions used to be a vital method of earning gold and the need for gold often necessitated more than one profession. As a result, trade professions often felt like the bane of my existence. The idea of a blacksmith who wanted to gather his own ore had to not only carry around a mining pick but also carry around his blacksmithing tool seemed clunky. That clunky feeling became more apparent as you progressed through the earlier expansion packs which introduced dual specialisations and the idea of carrying a second set of gear. Bag space is a big deal and, before �mobile� personal banking was an option, using the bank wasn�t very practical. Achievement mechanics have seen changes, too. Instead of each character you create needing to go through the effort required to gain the listed achievements individually, most achievements are now applied account-wide. This means you only earn your achievement points once. However, while all your characters will earn criteria based achievements, this doesn�t mean you will be able to begin an achievement on one character and complete the same criteria achievement on another character.
A few small exceptions apply to this rule though and it gets a little messy once you start talking about meta achievements. There are a few achievements out there I know I would never want to have to complete multiple times for each of my characters to earn them. For achievements such as �complete 2,500 daily quests� or �earn 250K honourable kills,� Blizzard seem to agree that expecting players to do this on each of their characters is simply too much. In those cases, the combined efforts of all your characters would apply towards the criteria count. Rewards gained via achievements earned will also be shared at the account level. This brings me onto the next change that provides �shared� access: mounts and vanity pets. As you log onto each of your characters, purchase mounts and obtain pets, you may begin to notice no matter which character you log onto, your mounts and pets are all ready and available for you to use. This is one of those changes I �love-hate�. I feel so conflicted by this change. On the one hand, part of me is happy to know I don�t have to grind all that faction reputation or go through the criteria required obtain the mount I am after. On the other hand, this change really disappoints me and decreases the value of those mounts and pets. Yes, I know they�re only vanity items but that�s not the point. When I created my monk and discovered the new mount and pet interface, I saw my Swift Razzashi Raptor staring at me. A mount my very first character, my Priest, earned back in vanilla World of Warcraft out of sheer luck during a Pick-up Group raid on Zul�Gurub. When the mount dropped, the entire raid agreed on highest roll wins as the only requirement to win. The raid had all rolled their dice with varying numbers competing. The raid leader had rolled 97, topping all of the rolled numbers. My heart pounded as I saw his result. I had waited until everyone had put their cards on the table, before I did the same. I typed /roll completely giving in to the idea I would be unlikely to beat him. I rolled 98. This is an experience I shared with my Priest, not my Monk or any other character. That raptor is part of what makes me love her, because I had that adventure whilst playing as her. That mount was a unique representation of her story and it�s a mount model you can�t obtain in the game anymore. Similarly, it felt awkward for my Monk to be able to fly around on a Vitreous Stone Drake, a mount obtained as a rare drop from a Cataclysm dungeon boss, which my Hunter had earned after many, MANY runs of the Stonecore dungeon. My Monk was able to use something not even available to earn until Cataclysm well before he�s even seen any Cataclysm content.
Blizzard�s logic behind making achievements, mounts and pets revolves around their concern of character abandonment. They�re worried if one particular character has a certain mount, achievement, pet or is close to earning one of those things the player would then favour playing that particular character over any of their other characters. I totally get it. Most players with a character on the final step of earning an achievement/reward would be unlikely to swap over to another character for the benefit of a party or raid, if they�re keen on earning a specific achievement or reward. Having said that, I don�t think trying to equalise which character you play should be done by cheapening the experience overall. Maybe this is a bit quirky but when I play my characters, I see them as individual from each other with their own journey to complete. I attach different experiences to each one based on what I went through with that character at the time. I don�t mind having to run the same dungeon over and over again in hopes of seeing the Vitreous Stone Drake again and potentially walking away having won it. Maybe it will drop for my Monk the first time I visit Stonecore, maybe it will be 50 runs later, but at least let me have the opportunity for it to be a story to tell.
These �account-wide� changes make me feel as though this game is becoming less about each of the characters you have and more about the single identity player behind them. That�s not necessarily a bad thing but it does remove an element of fun and point of difference which previously existed in the game. All mana using classes have a set amount of mana. Healers have capped mana pools of 100K and no amount of intellect will push you beyond this amount (though it will increase your spell power and how much your spells damage or heal someone). So, aside from spells, the way your character physically looks and their name, these days there just isn�t much else that makes your characters any different from each other. The closer and closer this game gets to simply being �an account person� the less detailed and enriched the player experience will become overall, in my opinion. There needs to be a clear balance of ensuring Blizzard help minimise the amount of �nigh-impossible� tasks needed to be repeated without causing characters to skip content because of the previous actions of another character you�ve played before. The last thing I want to feel is �played one, played them all.�

Broncos riding high but have some blemishes, too
Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, left, is greeted by Oakland Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer at the end their NFL football game in Oakland, Thursday, Dec. 6, 2012. Denver won the game 26-13. (AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez) |
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos are as complete a team as the NFL has to offer, with Peyton Manning's pinpoint passes and Von Miller's sack-strips setting the tone for a squad that hasn't lost in two months.
Still, there are blemishes for these Broncos (10-3), whose quest for that proverbial complete game marches on through a minefield of maladies — red zone stalls, pass protection pitfalls, coverage blunders — that could derail their dreams.
Even though they've won eight straight, they have a lengthy fix-it list.

Next: GET DATA /TYPE=PSQL, Up: GET DATA
GET DATA /TYPE=GNM /FILE={'file-name'} /SHEET={NAME 'sheet-name', INDEX n} /CELLRANGE={RANGE 'range', FULL} /READNAMES={ON, OFF} /ASSUMEDVARWIDTH=n.
To use GET DATA to read a spreadsheet file created by Gnumeric (http://gnumeric.org), specify TYPE=GNM to indicate the file's format and use FILE to indicate the Gnumeric file to be read. All other subcommands are optional.
The format of each variable is determined by the format of the spreadsheet cell containing the first datum for the variable. If this cell is of string (text) format, then the width of the variable is determined from the length of the string it contains, unless the ASSUMEDVARWIDTH subcommand is given.
The FILE subcommand is mandatory. Specify the name of the file to be read.
The SHEET subcommand specifies the sheet within the spreadsheet file to read. There are two forms of the SHEET subcommand. In the first form, '/SHEET=name sheet-name', the string sheet-name is the name of the sheet to read. In the second form, '/SHEET=index idx', idx is a integer which is the index of the sheet to read. The first sheet has the index 1. If the SHEET subcommand is omitted, then the command will read the first sheet in the file.
The CELLRANGE subcommand specifies the range of cells within the sheet to read. If the subcommand is given as '/CELLRANGE=FULL', then the entire sheet is read. To read only part of a sheet, use the form '/CELLRANGE=range 'top-left-cell:bottom-right-cell''. For example, the subcommand '/CELLRANGE=range 'C3:P19'' reads columns C–P, and rows 3–19 inclusive. If no CELLRANGE subcommand is given, then the entire sheet is read.
If '/READNAMES=ON' is specified, then the contents of cells of the first row are used as the names of the variables in which to store the data from subsequent rows. If the READNAMES command is omitted, or if '/READNAMES=OFF' is used, then the variables receive automatically assigned names.
The ASSUMEDVARWIDTH subcommand specifies the maximum width of string variables read from the file. If omitted, the default value is determined from the length of the string in the first spreadsheet cell for each variable.

St. Francisville, LA
May 7, 2009
It's 8:45pm when we arrive to the town of St. Francisville, LA. We're hungry and stop three congregants outside a Baptist church for directions and recommendations. This late, there's three options; Qué Pasa?, Sonny's Pizza and Wings & Things. Sonny's, home of the 'Italian burrito' wins. Jason Sager, our host for the 'Rouge-Roubaix', is driving still from Austin, Texas where on Saturday he won a pro road race and on Sunday, a pro mountain bike race. While Jason grew up in Baton Rouge he currently lives Ogden, Utah, works for Edge Composites and also heads up the Team Jamis professional mountain bike team. Since he's not currently a local it complicates our accommodation scenario a bit. But, being the host he is, he posted his involvement with this summer's Continental Tour on a local cycling bulletin a week ago about our need for a place to stay. A gentlemen named Lyn and his wife Ya-Ting responded with an offer and driving directions to stay at their place—Southern hospitality is alive and well.
Jason arrives, puts down a no-cheese pizza and is ready to roll. He leads us into the panther, snake and vine-choked Louisiana forests outside St Francisville. For 30-minutes we creep down narrow roads crowded from every direction by vegetation, heat and humidity. We arrive at Lyn's house and it's late, we chat a bit and get the particulars on bathrooms, where to sleep, etc. They've made us feel right at home.
The next morning we're back in town at an art café called the Birdman by 9:30. In the midst of Belgian waffles, breakfast sandwiches, yogurt, lattes and grits – it's clear within seconds that the Birdman is on the opposite end of the eatery spectrum than Sonny's gave us last night. Jason informs us that our driver, another bulletin board conscript, is a nurse and has been called-in at the last minute to work. Desperate because Rouge-Roubaix is unanimously the most anticipated ride of the tour we ask our waitress what she is doing later. Seated in the back unbeknown to us, the town Sheriff overhears our exchange with this young woman about bikes, cameras and a van. Understandably curious about our intentions, he walks over for some clarity on the matter. Within minutes he's headed out the door to get, not ask, one of his Deputies to drive for us. As he's walking out the Birdman's phone rings and seconds later the owner shouts 'Anybody here named Jason'. Apparently one of Jason's last minute calls is returned and a gentlemen named Adrian is available and wants to drive with us. Turns out Adrian's son rode the official Rouge-Roubaix earlier this spring and his girlfriend is a cyclist. It also turns out that he is fifth generation Percy, an established and influential family in West Feliciana Parish.
It's immediately evident that the Rouge-Roubaix is stunning and special. We encounter a myriad of impossibly contiguous roads, each remarkable for their inherent qualities and surfaces and in the way that they work together. We ride by oaks tangled in Kudzu, rolling open fields, countless creeks and miles of picturesque, rural-green countryside. Nearly the entire route is on narrow back-roads without any traffic. We're lucky with low eighties temps and relatively tame humidity, but still within an hour we're all covered with sweat, salt and dirt. We ride two-up with Sam and Jason pulling though and periodically Cole attacks in a manner that Sam starts to call 'hunkering down'.
At mile 25 we hit the first gravel section, it's eight miles long and riddled with holes and deep ruts. Through that section and back on pavement we come to a small store. Out front three older men, leaning on the window next to the front door, drink beers out of paper bags and slowly smile in acknowledgment of our foreign approach. Nobody is watching the soap opera on the TV in the corner, but it appropriately adds to the experience.
Several dozen miles later at the top of another section of gravel we stop again at the Pond Store in Pond, Mississippi. This store looks as though nothing as changed since the advent of electricity. In addition to the usual convenient store foods and drinks, the dusty shelves are littered with antiques, southern accouterments and mysterious indiscernible stock. Things that are old, some that are metal and rusty, even some made from dead animals. In addition to these oddities, stray cats scramble and sleep about while a big dog named Sam and a little dog named Socks come and go through the open front door.
With 20 miles to go we hit the last section of dirt, which because of recent record breaking heavy rains, is thick, sticky mud. If Jason's causal, easy, effortless management of our 20mph average pace wasn't sign enough of his absolute professionalism, he handles the mud and puddles and creeks crossings without any sign of the dirt, mess or struggle that covers the rest of us.
Back in town at the Birdman we clean off with a hose, and begin to refuel with beers and ice cream cones. Adrian, our last-minute driver, is happy to continue our adventure together and calls his friend Mary to organize a private tour of the Catalpa Plantation just outside of town. Built in 1890 the house is a large southern Victorian with tall windows and a massive front porch. Inside, the period correct oak dining room tables and cabinets, four-post canopy beds, artwork, china, mirrors and rugs are immaculate. We prepare mint juleps, wine and beer, then retire to the porch and share stories for hours with Mary, Adrian, and Adrian's girlfriend Jill.
Still hungry from our near sub-five hour century, we slowly decide to make our way back to town for Mexican at Qué Pasa? This amazing day continues for several more hours as we talk photography, geography, cycling, history, alligators and dirty Cajun jokes.

Title: Day of the pets.
Author: Karomo Ndirangu
Publisher: EAEP
By Allan Olingo
For siblings: Mambo, Maria and Lucia, closing day in their school is like no other. It is fun. It is the day of the pets. All pupils are to bring their various pets to the school and their parents would judge which pet was the most beautiful.
Mambo and his two sisters had been preparing their pets for a month before the competition. Mambo has a dog named Simba, Maria has a rabbit named malaika and Lucia has a cat named Pepe. Even Juma the bully was going to bring his shaggy dog called Kali.vHowever, Juma nearly spoils the day.
Mambo immediately reports the bully to Mrs Sagala their teacher and.Juma is sent home to call his parents but before he goes home. He runs to the classroom then leaves without anybody seeing him. When Mambo goes to pick his bag later in the afternoon, it is missing. Who has stolen it and why? That is when trouble begins for Mambo and his sisters.
On their way home, the children meet uncle Luka who is their neighbour and has an orchard where he grows oranges, mangoes and avocados. Uncle Luka always had a big smile on his face.

Not since the fourth edition of this completely rewritten and authoritative volume has anyone had so many nice things to say about radiation therapy for skin diseases. This is the bible for those who wish to use x-rays.
The history of radiology, its basic nuclear physics, electricity theory, protection from x-rays and equipment for their administration, and practical details of their use—all these are discussed with clarity and authority in the book's first 262 pages. The biologic effects of radiation, both good and bad, take up the next 215 pages; included is an exhaustive monograph on the pathologic histology of radiodermatitis, contributed by Hamilton Montgomery. The final 330 pages deal with details of therapy—disease by disease—with abundant illustrations of cases.
The authors are sometimes curiously diffident about advising the use of radiation, as for furuncles and carbuncles. Equally curious timidity is sometimes manifested when a forthright warning against the use

It was another hugely enjoyable night. the venue was The Horseshoe Tavern in the heart of downtown Toronto, and its basically a long bar with a separate performing space slightly upstairs at the back. The capacity was hard to determine, but a couple of hundred would be my guess, although the stage was a substantial size.
Doors opened at 10pm and the first act came on at around an hour later - a solo artist who sang and played keyboards. Kind of looked like Laura Veirs.
Now, I hugely admire anyone who gets up on stage to do a show like that. A venue that is at best maybe one-quarter full of which a dozen or so will be genuinely interested at the outset. It takes real courage...and a fair bit of confidence.
The fact that I'm unable to tell you the name of the act is evidence that I was bored throughout the 40 minute set and had no desire to find out more. I'm not saying she wasn't talented, but the songs, all her own compositions bar one, did nothing for me. The cover was You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman, which got a few whoops and hollers. I thought she butchered it, turning something the original soulful and heartfelt rendition into something humdrum and MOR.
Next up was an another support act. Now I knew this was Scout Niblet as it said so on the ticket.
A fair crowd gathered to watch in anticipation of her stage entrance. I joined in at the front but had no idea what to expect. I was guessing at this stage it was another slightly-better known member of the local Toronto community, a view that gained momentum in my mind when a female, dressed in an outfit akin to that of the the local Toronto FC soccer side took to the stage with only a guitar for company.
What followed astounded me. What I learned afterwards showed how little I know of music in the 21st Century.
The opening couple of songs saw me instantly think PJ Harvey of the Rid Of Me/Mansize era. So I was hooked. This girl could sing and growl like the best of them, and she could also play her guitar.
On the third song, she was joined by a male drummer. So now my brain was telling me that I was watching a reverse White Stripes. The songs as a duet were even better. The crowd responded with huge enthusiasm and I noticed that a few folk around me were singing along obviously knowing the stuff.
Again, this set featured a cover version. But this was unlike any other cover versions I've heard in a long while.
I'm not sure if any readers outwith the UK would be familiar with the TV ads of the 70s and 80s for Cadbury's Flake. They were either completely Freudian or a pastiche of porn movies. Or maybe both.
They inevitably featured a gorgeous model, often scantily clad (or perhaps in a bubble bath). The model would be wearing the reddest of lipstick and there was always a close-up shot of the flake going between the lips and being bitten as the theme song reached its (ahem) climax and catchphrase of 'Only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate tastes like chocolate never tasted before'. If you want an idea, I've tracked down a few of the ads on You Tube and posted them here at The Video Villain.
Anyway.....it was this theme tune that was given the full treatment by Scout Niblet and her drummer. And it was magnificently entertaining.
All too soon the 50 minute set came to an end. As good a time as I've ever had with a support act. I made a mental note to find out more and go see again in whatever downtown bar in Toronto the duo would next appear.
It was over the weekend when doing a google search that I learned Scout Niblet is someone who has been on the go for a few years now - and far from being a Torontonian, she hails from Robin Hood country - Nottingham, England.
There's been a handful of singles, EPs and LPs - some of which have been on the Too Pure label, which is where the afore-mentioned PJ Harvey started off.
Why had no-one has brought Scout Niblet's existence to my attention before now is a total mystery. Maybe there was a bundle of blog activity a while back before I started surfing the net, or maybe I've been looking in the wrong places. But now I'm on a mission to go out to some of the many indie record stores in this great city to track down the recordings.
And so to our main act of the evening.
It was Tacim over at 8/1 who first alerted me quite a while back to Annie Clark aka St Vincent with his posting of a song called Now Now. I thought it was such great tune worth sharing with the world, that I also posted it as an mp3.
I bought the debut album two weeks back from a great store called Streetscape Sounds. And as I mentioned in the last post, it's a CD on heavy rotation right now.
It's a lush piece of work - full of gorgeous, melodic and harmonious sounds. There are loads of different instruments thrown into the mix, most of which are played by the highly-talented Ms Clark. And so I reckoned it was always going to be really difficult for a four-piece band playing instruments consisting of guitar/bass/keyboards/violin/drums to faithfully reproduce on stage what you get through the speakers in your sitting-room.
And so it proved.
This was a concert that was full of energy. The four-piece band were tight and highly skilled on each instrument. It was a show in which Annie spent most of the time on lead guitar and vocals, during which she demonstrated that in addition to being a great composer and instrumentalist, she is a natural leader on stage.
It's a while since I've been at a gig where many of the songs were radically different from the way they've been recorded onto CD or vinyl, and the truth of the matter is that not all of the songs survived the transformation to the live setting - probably because they ate just too complex and detailed to become straightforward rock songs. But I don't think anyone came away feeling disappointed or short-changed. Certainly I didn't. And it was an enjoyable enough gig that I put my hand in my pocket at the end to purchase a t-shirts and a 7" single.
It would have been very easy for Annie Clark to determine that her songs are best left in the studio environment and not to go out on the road. I'm pleased she didn't, and I would thoroughly recommend that if you see St Vincent coming to a town or city near your way in the coming weeks or months, you should get out and see them.
Now instead of mp3s tonight, I want to direct you to some clips.
Scout Niblet has allowed some footage of the Toronto gig to be posted on her myspace site. Just click here and see why I enjoyed it so much.
And click here to get some St Vincent footage.

An Italian man visiting New York said he spent the night in jail when he forgot his
wallet and was unable to pay a $208 tab. Graziano Graziussi said he was preparing to pay his bill at Smith and Wollensky when he realized he had left his wallet at the apartment where he had been staying, the New York Post reported. Graziussi said workers refused to accept his iPhone as collateral to allow him to retrieve the wallet. He said they instead called police. "I found it completely unreasonable to call the police when I was coming up with possible solutions," he said. "I wasn't going to run away. I was there. I had just forgotten my wallet." Graziussi said he was taken into custody when he told police he was unable to have anyone deliver the wallet. He was released the following morning after promising a judge he would pay the bill.

Have you ever run a Pub? You can add your pub history to the UK pub history site. You can contact the pub history site via my email : Kevan. There are over 10,500 images on the site and more than 47,000 pages of pub history - these numbers increase every day as I add new pub history research. The pub history site has now been evolving for more than ten years, with a significant number of additional pub history researchers who regularly update the site with historical detail and imagery, old and new.
This is a local search engine of the UK Pub history site. You can search by surname, street address, or public house name. The search engine updates weekly. If you are looking for a specific pub history listing, some of these can only be found in the sitemap - see the navigation bar on the left.
site search by freefind |
The pub history site was created by Kevan Wilding & Stephen Harris (from Ian Hunters original Essex pubs site). The pub history site now covers all of Essex, London, Kent, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Middlesex, Suffolk, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Sussex, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Devon, Somerset and parts of Lincoln and Leicester - not bad, ey?
The (deadpubs) pub history and historical street directory is a listing of open & closed
Pubs which show the address changes through time, and obviously from a historical
perspective. It
concentrates on the many road name changes through the years because of slum clearance, road renaming and modern office building. The
site lists Pubs and their history in their original church parishes; and
attempts to describe the towns through the past two hundred years. It is the
culmination of many years work by countless contributors, and continues to grow.
I am still hoping that the likes of google will do this in a visual aspect by
the use of maps.
A good example on the site is London. London is very
interesting in itself, it bore the brunt of the WWII bombings, as did many other places, but also went through a road renaming process
between 1938 and 1944. Many of
the roads with similar names were simply renamed to distinct road names. This is where the
1944 listing of Pubs is incredibly
important, now complete, and unique to this site - it lists all named pubs and beer retailers
who were trading in 1944. You can then match the Pub or address
with that in 1938 or earlier through the search engine! This is why I refer to
this as the historical
London & the south of England street directory at its best using historical pubs
as a basis for continued research. Other areas of the UK in the south are
similarly portrayed, although London is an easier area to work on, if rather
Pubs, like churches move slowly over a period of time, I use this to my
The site lists original content on Pub History, Census and Trade
Directory entries from the Post Office , Kelly and Pigots Trade Directories,
Petty Session Victuallers records etc. for the last two hundred years. The
public houses are listed by church parish as they would have existed before 1900
- many of these are no longer in existence. Google has mapped vast areas in
its street view and modern maps, Ordnance Survey are releasing their maps to the
wider community. Historical maps
are a must in this research.
There is a search engine on every page of the site. This
includes the approximately 50,000 pages of pubs and pub history I have added
over the last ten years. It is quite comprehensive, but will never be complete.
You can use the simple search engine to search for a particular person, and
address or a Pub. It is a simple search engine using key words in the pages, and
I am planning on improving in the near future, to search on phrases. More to
follow on this - enjoy the pubs history site.
Here are some random historical and new images of the many thousands of images on the pub history site:
Lobster, Canvey Island |
Cricketers, Bethnal Green |
Bow Bells, Bromley |
George, Crawley |
Eclipse, Islington |
Brunel Hotel, Plymouth |
The Cricketers, Richmond |
The pub history directory is an important tool in searching for addresses in the towns that have changed over time. This site lists historical Public Houses site and Directory listings, and has entries generally up until 1944 at the latest. If there is not an entry for a year, it is because I do not have this information, please help to complete the data. The pub history site is updated on a daily basis by the many regular contributors and the search engine updates on a weekly basis.

America cannot take strikes wherever we choose – our actions are bound by consultations with partners, and respect for state sovereignty. … And before any strike is taken, there must be near-certainty that no civilians will be killed or injured – the highest standard we can set."
ON GUANTANAMO: "When I ran for President the first time, John McCain supported closing GTMO. No person has ever escaped from one of our super-max or military prisons in the United States. Our courts have convicted hundreds of people for terrorism-related offenses, including some who are more dangerous than most GTMO detainees. Given my Administration's relentless pursuit of al Qaeda's leadership, there is no justification beyond politics for Congress to prevent us from closing a facility that should never have been opened."
Washington (CNN) – President Barack Obama's solemn remarks on drones and counterterrorism were interrupted at length Thursday by a protester who loudly advocated for the closure of the Guantanamo Bay prison – the same position Obama was stressing in his speech.
The woman shouting was identified as peace activist Medea Benjamin of the group Code Pink, whose members have been loudly interrupting congressional hearings and official speeches for years.
(CNN) - It's take two for Tom Tancredo.
After making a bid for Colorado governor as a third party candidate in 2010, the former GOP congressman known nationally for his outspoken and hardline stance on illegal immigration, Thursday announced he's running for governor again, in 2014, but this time as a Republican.
(CNN) – Justice Department probes leading to the seizure of journalists' phone and e-mail records have prompted a review of the government's practices in investigating leaks of secret information, President Barack Obama said Thursday.
In a speech that also detailed the government's use of drones to kill American citizens – acts which were originally made public through leaks of classified information – Obama said reports of investigations targeting journalists had him worried for the future of a watchdog press.
(CNN) - Normally, the disclosure of lewd photos and messages exchanged in a sexting scandal would derail a campaign. But for Anthony Weiner, that would be old news.
He said as much in an interview Thursday, repeating a statement he made prior to yesterday's launch of his New York mayoral campaign. Weiner acknowledged it is possible that more photos from the scandal which led him to step down from Congress in 2011 could come out.

He's just like Gibbs NBC reporter Chuck Todd says Gibbs and Carney are one and the same, tweeting "Jay Carney already following in Gibbs' footsteps, briefing will not start on time." Todd was right in more ways than he may have realized: according to The Hill's Michael O'Brien, the official @PressSec Twitter feed still lists Robert Gibbs as the White House's spokesman. And as of Wednesday afternoon, the "Briefing Room" section of the White House's site still promotes a section called "Press Secretary Robert Gibbs Answers Your Questions." The New York Time's Jackie Calmes also did not see much of a change: "by the end of the hour, like Mr. Gibbs generally, Mr. Carney had provided a lot of quotes but no news."
A good first day ABC News' Jake Tapper tweeted that Carney had solid, if unremarkable start, writing "1st Carney briefing almost over, close to no news made, no gaffes. POTUS will be pleased." Ari Fleischer, press secretary for President George W Bush was ambivalent about Carney's leaving the press conference unscathed, writing "Congrats to Jay Carney for finishing his first briefing. I wish him well . .. . sort of."

With Earth as Only Model for Life,
Scientists Seek Life on Other Planets
Alien encounters and science fiction permeate pop culture, but what would it really mean if scientists found life beyond Earth? If even a single-celled organism on another planet was discovered, for many, this would be the last thread of evidence proving that life is simply chemistry.
In a recent lecture at the AAAS, Bruce Jakosky from the University of Colorado at Boulder discussed the social and scientific ramifications of finding life on another planet, and the scientific principles behind determining the viability of extraterrestrial life, a field known as astrobiology.
"We likely are doing it for the exploration valuea search for knowledge in order to find out what is in the world around us," Jakosky says. "By learning about the world around us, we are learning about what it means to be human."
Jakosky's lecture was part of a monthly series sponsored by the AAAS Program of Dialogue on Science, Ethics and Religion (DoSER). The Program builds on AAAS's long-standing commitment to relate scientific knowledge and technological development to the purposes and concerns of society at large. The lecture series provides an opportunity for scientists to engage with theologians, ethicists, philosophers and the public concerning the societal implications of their work.
While teaching undergraduate astronomy early on in his career, Jakosky said he was stirred to explore the nature of science and how science should better fit into activities that engage the public.
"I noticed that the classroom was always packed and students were really interested on the days that we discussed the possibility of life on other planets," Jakosky said.
The search for alien life does not allow for the application of traditional scientific methods, however. On Earth, researchers observe their surroundings, develop a hypothesis and then perform an experiment to test the hypothesis.
"Think of Galileo dropping two differently-massed balls off of the leaning tower of Pisa."
With astrobiology, however, there is a problem Jakosky calls "the statistics of one." In order to seek signs of extraterrestrial life, scientists look at the one example of life that is known (Earth) and try to generalize from it. Although researchers can look for the ingredients for life, they cannot be certain if these traits are specific only to life on Earth, or if the same characteristics would be required of life anywhere in the universe.
Instead of relying on classical approaches in their search for extraterrestrial life, researchers must depend on geophysical evidence that has accumulated over time and on exploration science.
Known as "historical narratives," geophysical evidence is used by researchers to make conjectures about past events. Few events are as dramatic as the one that wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, but scientists can use geological measurements to test for climate changes and for asteroids that have collided with Earth. Scientists cannot test historical narratives, yet they can look for clues to reveal what may have happened.
"In fact," Jakosky says, "the big questions in science, such as the fate of the universe, the origin of galaxies and the origin of life on Earth, can only be addressed through historical narratives."
From what is already known about the Earth and its living inhabitants, life requires liquid water, a source of energy, organic molecules, and a mix of biogenic elements such as Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen. Consequently, Jakosky says, the search for extraterrestrial life is narrowed to a search for the conditions that are necessary for life to exist.
According to NASA's Web site, the search for extraterrestrial life is a major part of the new vision of the federal agency's Space Sciences program. In answer to the question, "Are we alone?" NASA responds:
"We seek evidence of life in our solar system and of life-sustaining, Earth-like worlds around nearby stars. We have embarked on an ambitious program to explore the planet Mars. Our spacecraft have discovered evidence that large amounts of liquid water once flowed on the planet, and that today, it may be frozen beneath the surface."
Exploring Mars or Europa for signs of life is a logical step to take if all life-forms need the same key ingredients. However, Jakosky returns to the problem of "the statistics of one": Since Earth is the only case-study for life, it is possible that life on other planets may not form from the same elements as terrestrial beings.
"Whatever the outcome of such a search, it will tell us much about our understanding of the origin of life on Earth and the likelihood of life being widespread throughout the galaxy," Jakosky said.
Jakosky's presentation was followed by a response from Jim Miller, a senior program associate in the DoSER program, who holds a Ph.D. in theology with a focus on science and theology. Miller proposed that a constructive though asymmetrical relationship exists between the historical narratives generated by scientists and religious narratives.
Jakosky received his Ph.D. in 1982 from the California Institute of Technology. His research interests focus on the surfaces and atmospheres of planets, evolution of atmospheres, and possible life on other planets. Jakosky is currently involved in the Mars Global Surveyor mission as an Interdisciplinary Scientist for Surface-Atmosphere interactions, and is head of the University of Colorado effort in astrobiology, as part of the larger NASA Astrobiology Institute initiative.

So how do we setup something to use the web interface in a scripted fashion? There are actually a lot of ways. Something like SecureLogin could be used to "click" in predicable places over and over with a web browser. Other ways include using utilities that, at the command line, can get data from a webpage, parse it, and then act on it. This is the route Peter Lambrechsten took in his post here: http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=393511
Taking the hard work he did and making a script out of it was fairly easy. The addition basically asks for parameters (machine to hit via port 8030 (iMonitor's HTTPS port), username in eDirectory DN format, and a password) and then lets the user choose which report to parse. The report in iMonitor must already exist and links to current documentation are included. Once a report is selected the script hits iMonitor once per object telling the system to timestamp the object. The EIDs that are being timestamped are returned as the script runs so progress can be monitored.
This was tested against eDirectory 8.8.5 FTF 1 x86_32 on SLES 10 SP2 x86_32. The result is a way, with no more work than iMonitor would require anyway, to timestamp all objects that show up in the iMonitor obituary report. It could even be set to be automated after an automated report was created in iMonitor to run once in a while and watch for old obituaries for you.
To use this script copy it to your system with 'bash' and 'wget' (both default on most *nix systems), make it executable (`chmod +x ./obitTimestamp.sh`) and then run it:
./obitTimestamp.sh machine.goes.here admin.context.goes.here passwordHere

More than 70 per cent of those are iPads.
According to YouGov's latest quarterly Tablet Tracker report, in May 2012, eight per cent of the UK population owned a tablet - that's about three million owners in the UK.
The data showed that Apple's iPad is still dominant, with more than 70 per cent of tablet owners having one, and the new iPad alone has managed to capture 11 per cent of the market since its release earlier in the year.
Since the last quarter, Apple's overall share has slipped four percentage points due to the growing competition from the likes of Samsung (seven per cent share in the market).
In news that will please Samsung and Google, nearly half of current tablet owners (45 per cent) are considering switching their devices, with many citing price as the main reason.
John Gilbert, consulting director of YouGov's technology and telecoms sector, says: "While Apple continue to set the standards of tablet quality, Samsung and other manufacturers are fast approaching and exceeding Apple on price metrics.

CSAPR on the Back Burner…For Now
Coal-fired power generators have been able to place the reduction of SO2 and NOx on the back burner this year, so to speak, at least temporarily. Thanks to a federal court granting a request to stay the EPA rule in December, power generators have been able to eschew further SO2 and NOx reduction.
More than three dozen lawsuits have been filed against CSAPR, accusing the rule of being one of the "most costly, burdensome and arbitrary" rules ever issued under the Clean Air Act.
Since the stay, EPA has tried to appease some companies and states by releasing minor changes to the rule. The Final Revisions Rule revises state SO2 and NOx budgets for Florida, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Texas and Wisconsin, and new set-asides for Arkansas and Texas. The rule also revises unit-level allocations for Alabama, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee to better account for utility consent decrees. The rule also amends the assurance penalty provisions for all states within the programs so they start in 2014 instead of 2012.
"By delaying the assurance penalty provisions, EPA is providing utilities with slightly more time to rely on emission trading as a compliance strategy and more time to install emission controls," said Todd Palmer, partner at Michael Best & Friedrich LLP. Trading of SO2 and NOx credits between states is expected to make CSAPR compliance more feasible.
An oral argument over CSAPR was held on April 13 in Washington D.C. before a federal court. "The panel seemed most concerned that EPA's methodology for developing state emission budgets, specifically whether EPA is forcing states to reduce their emissions beyond what is otherwise necessary to mitigate the state's contribution to downwind air pollution concentrations," Palmer said.
It is expected that the court could reach a decision on CSAPR as early as this summer, which could be followed by substantive changes to the rule by the EPA, Palmer said. However, it is also rumored that EPA may not reach a decision until the beginning of or during 2013. Ultimately, many in the industry expect that the final outcome of CSAPR will remain the same as its current form or something very close to it.
Mike Walsh, vice president of engineering for MET, which manufactures scrubbers for SO2 control and provides scrubber upgrades, says his company has seen little movement from utilities in response to CSAPR specifically. Utilities are still hesitant to dive full-in to a control plan for SO2 prior to the final, undisputed release of CSAPR, Walsh said. "A lot of utilities are making plans, but no one is going to kick off a project until they see a final rule," Walsh said.
So for the time being, CSAPR will stay on the back burner, and the Mercury and Air Toxics Standard remains the central concern for most utilities.

My husband wants sex, but I don't. What should I do?
My husband has made it clear that he finds me as desirable as ever and wants to continue having sex during our pregnancy. But I feel too big, tired, and unattractive to get in the mood. How can I explain this to him without hurting his feelings or making him feel deprived?

I'm 10 weeks along with our first child and have no desire for sex. My Husband, bless the man, is content to cuddle, but I feel sooo bad for him. I hope once the nausea and vomiting stop I'll feel more inclined.posted 12/27/2004 by homewith2girls
Hey Ladies! I'm 28 weeks pregnant and haven't had sex with my husband in over 2 months. My belly is HUGE and in order to do it we would have to make accomodations that would be anything short of mechanical - and I can't get into that. BUT, my man is satisfied. There are TONS of things you can do to let him know you are still attracted to him... my favourite is attacking him in the shower (with a bj) or flipping on porn unexpectantly and stroking him while I whisper in his ear (sorry if this is too shocking). I like to show my attraction to him and this way we are both happy. What do you think?posted 12/21/2004 by MammaNow
This message is for Jake - obviously you have reached this medium to research why you aren't getting any and are probably feeling rejected. If your wife is pregnant (God help us if there is a woman out there who is married to a man that says "if he's not getting it at home you should expect him to go elsewhere"), her body is changing and her purpose in your marriage should not be a convenient source for your pleasure. Wake up, and while you're at it, grow up.posted 12/21/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Hey Everyone, I'm 21 weeks pregnant today. And before my pregnancy my husband and I had a very active sex life. And it was really hard for him to understand at first when I didn't want to have sex anymore. I was sick all the time and just wasn't in the mood. It didn't help that I'd start to play and then not want to actually have intercourse. He said it was like turning a light switch on and off. But he's been real good about it. He's away right now in the Navy so he won't return till just before our little one is born. I wish I could get into again. But I don't feel comfortable with the idea of it. Doctor's haven't said I couldn't. It's just how I feel. Maybe it'll change when he comes home and maybe it won't. But I'm sure like with everything else he's had to put up with (sickness, tired, running out in the middle of the night for just the right snack), he'll be understanding. The best thing is we've already started talking about how I feel so it's not a surprise for him if he comes home and I don't jump on him like the old days. lolposted 12/12/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
It's good to know that I am not the only one who does not want to have sex! I am 33wks pregnant & I haven't felt like having sex for a few months now.

Hey Ladies, So good to hear I'm not the only one. I am 12 weeks along with our first baby. My hubby is totally turned on that we are pregnant, and yes thinks I am as sexy as ever when I feel unactractive with sex being the last thing on my mind. Okay so here is what I have found to work better for me. After a long night of sleep (a weekend preferrably when you can sleep in) get up take a nice long shower (shave your legs or do a hair mask whatever makes you feel great) then you'll feel fresh and clean and happily rested and then go find your man. =) Thats really the only time I have found sex an option. So try it just once! :) Best Wishesposted 11/19/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I personally like that the shoe is on the other foot in my relatonship. I would be the one who wanted to have sex the most but, now he always, I mean always asking for it. It makes me feel sexy, beautiful, desirable and most of all in power. Sweetie, if your husband loves he loves you for more than sex, remind him of all the other reasons he married you. Do not stress yourself out, and do not let him stress you out.posted 11/18/2004 by baby_born0514
I'm no doctor, but I think I see a trend here. Ladies, ladies, ladies! Hormones are "invading" our bodies and this is just an unfortunate side effect. There is nothing wrong with you, there is nothing wrong with your husband. We are all tired, expanding and our emotions are out of whack. Give yourself a break and relax. Trust me, my husband is the biggest sex-a-holic there is, but there are things you can do to please him (and I'm not talking a bj). Try this: whatever his fantasy is, fullfill it verbally while he masterbates. Whatever he's "into" tell him a sexy story about it...wait, dont just tell him, whisper it in his ear or talk low and sexy. I'm 37 weeks, huge, and oh so tired so I make sure I do this for him at least once a day...trust me, it takes less energy than feeling guilty or forcing myself to do it when I just cant. The way I see it, I focus on myself and my baby all day long, so does my husband, so this is one thing that I can do for him that doesnt involve too much movement or thought. There are days when I'm too tired to do this, and my hubby gets it. But, I find that since I started doing this, I am more than willing to oblige because I no longer feel like I am being a bad wife by not satisfying his needs. All I can say is try itposted 10/31/2004 by kanda333
