text: Ashley Ahearn Facing Rising Waters, A Native Tribe Takes Its Plea To Paris Climate Talks By Ashley Ahearn • Dec 1, 2015 International leaders gathering in Paris to address global warming face increasing pressure to tackle the issue of "climate refugees." Some island nations are already looking to move their people to higher ground, even purchasing land elsewhere in preparation. In the U.S. Northwest, sea-level rise is forcing a Native American tribe to consider abandoning lands it has inhabited for thousands of years. Pacific Northwest Suffers After China Bans Shellfish Imports By Ashley Ahearn • Dec 26, 2013 China has closed its doors to all shellfish imports from an area that stretches from northern California to Alaska. The state of Washington says it's losing as much as $600,000 a week. Among the shellfish not being harvested is the geoduck, a long-necked clam that can fetch up to $150 per pound in China. It's a major export for the Pacific Northwest. Climate Change Could Spell Final 'Chuckle' For Alpine Frog By Ashley Ahearn • Aug 7, 2013 Across the Western U.S., yearly areas of snowpack are decreasing, and researchers are trying to figure out what that means for everything that relies on the snowmelt — from farms to power plants to a little creature known as the Cascades frog. To Catch A Marten: Seeking Clues In Olympic National Forest By Ashley Ahearn • Jan 21, 2013 It's about 25 degrees on a clear Saturday morning when Gregg Treinish — executive director of Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation, a nonprofit that puts volunteers to work gathering data for scientists around the world — gathers a small group of outdoor adventurers around him near the Duckabush River in the Olympic National Forest in Washington state. What Killed Orca Victoria? Some Point To Naval Tests By Ashley Ahearn • May 16, 2012 Few people know the orcas of Puget Sound as well as Ken Balcomb. A researcher with the Center for Whale Research on Washington state's San Juan Island, Balcomb has been studying the whales for more than 30 years. It takes Balcomb only a few seconds of listening to the squeaks and whistles of underwater whale recordings to recognize the different pods of orcas. In one recording, Balcomb identifies the group known as the L Pod — the family many people in the area are talking about right now.

>Off the Beaten Path>Linux Users: Chime In...
We got any? I'm sure we do. As for me, I've been running Linux in various "flavors" since about 2000. I started w/ Mandrake, then Redhat, then Gentoo (stayed with Gentoo for a long time....loved the portage tree), the Ubuntu, and just recently to LinuxMint w/ Cinnamon.
I believe it was about 3 years ago that I finally "blew away" my Windoze partition and went exclusively Linux.
Anyone else?
Only Linux I get to deal with are the VMWare servers in work, that's enough for me LOL.
Not dead. Yet.
I run Ubuntu at home; mostly Red Hat at work. But I consider myself more of a Unix user than Linux. At work I rarely look at a Gnome/KDE desktop. Instead I am remoted into all kinds of different machines in our facility in the shell. And my main machine at work is a Mac which I consider to be the best of both worlds. It's a pretty and friendly interface, but is built on Unix and has built in support for all the common tools, the shell, compilers, open source software, etc, etc.
I am a Windoze hater too, but I try to keep a runnable copy around to run some games if I ever get the urge. I rarely do. I almost tried out Mint a while back. Heard good things about it, but just never found the need. Ubuntu has gotten so good that you forget it's not mainstream.
How can we know our limits if we don't test them?
I almost tried out Mint a while back. Heard good things about it, but just never found the need. Ubuntu has gotten so good that you forget it's not mainstream.
I ran Ubuntu for years and really enjoyed it...but then they threw their collective weight into "Unity". I know why they did, but I couldn't stand how they took a lot of the versatility away from the end user. I started looking for alternatives and even considered jumping back to Gentoo, but thought I'd try LinuxMint...and haven't looked back since. Clean, responsive, versatile...and still based on the Debian kernel. I've got 2 terabytes left and I'm thinking of trying Suse as well...after all...I am a former Certified Netware Engineer (yes I am dating myself...LOL)
I'm not even positive what Unity is. I think it's this whole computer search bar or something. It seems to work ok, but I rarely use it. It's new to the latest versions...I think 11 and 12. It does not bother me. I'm interested in Mint though, maybe I will try out the live disc just to play around at least.
Wow, I had to look up Netware, but now I remember. They were one of the big competing OSes in the beginning. Novell had a popular software package too, Lotus Notes? or some other spreadsheet? Sorry, but I guess that certificate is pretty useless nowadays. I assume you turned it into something more relevent as Windows began to take over the world...
Gentoo user for about 10 years now, plus occasional stints with OpenSUSE (including a couple of boxes at work right now for Android development). Started all 3 of my boys with their own Linux boxes (Gentoo/KDE) at age 2, even previously had set up my wife's eeePC 901 (1st-gen Atom CPU) with Gentoo - that KDE compile was a long, hellish process...
2014 goals:
1. Run a minimum of 1.5 miles every single day of the year
2. Run 1500 miles in 2014
3. Get my weekly mileage above 40
4. Brown belt in Shaolin Kempo
5. First Half (Oregon Wine Country HM?)
6. PRs: Sub-21 5k, Sub-45 10k, Sub-45 Spartan Sprint, Sub 1:55 HM (Oregon Wine Country HM)
dog person
I've installed and played with many distros over the years, starting with the days when you had to compile the kernel, and manually configure the X window system.
I wish I could use it more, but not being able to run Photoshop and Lightroom natively makes it impossible to leave Windows. There really are no Linux equivalents to top end Adobe programs, and running them in a virtual machine makes no sense.
I'm not a Mac fan at all, and MS seems to have decided to jump off a cliff with Widows 8, so I see myself using Windows 7 for quite awhile.
I'm pretty sure that google will be a major player on the desktop in a few years, though they seem to want to push everything onto the cloud, and I'm still not sold on that.
I use ubuntu, and have used linux since sometime in the early 90s - first installed on my home PC involved downloading a whole load of floppy disk images at university, copying to floppy and then installing slackware from the disks.
I some dual boot machines, and have occasionally done work for windows. Up to now I've worked as a computer programmer, but I'm now embarking on a new career as a lawyer, I worry that I'll have to use the 'orrible MS word to collaborate with others...
I started out with Debian way back when, have been on Ubuntu or its spinoffs since Dapper. Now using Xubuntu at home and Ubuntu Precise at work. Zorin is a nice variant that's comfortable for Windows people.
You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do. -Anne Lamott
Regular ass person
I am a former Certified Netware Engineer (yes I am dating myself...LOL)
Not a thing wrong with that!
I tinker with some old school Redhat on one of my VMs as well. There's so much Microsoft in my life these days, I need a breath of fresh Linux from time to time.
I like Zorin but it is just a tad too Windows for me.
Mandrake, Mandriva, Red Hat, SUSE, Fedora, Ubuntu, openSUSE
Interval Junkie --Nobby
Pre 1.0 Kernel here too. On the school computer I figured out that the Mail Spooler partition didn't have user quotas enforced on it, so I would FTP all the floppies there overnight and image them to 3.5" in the morning. Was crazy that Emacs took up more floppies than X. Can't say I miss the days of manual X configuration -- nor of manually patching kernels.
I run debian at home (fluxbox). Oddly work makes me use Windows for coding. Cygwin, baby!
I use my wife's computer (winXP) because nobody has made Garmin 610 support for Linux.
2016 Goals: Lose the 10lbs I gained for not having goals
I use Linux on servers (Centos, Redhat, and some others), but Windows 7 on my laptops and desktops.
Prince of Fatness
I hate Linux. I've been a Windows guy for a long time and to me it just feels like it takes a completely different mindset to navigate around and get things done. We have a couple of Linux servers in the office but are trying to move away from them.
Not really a knock on Linux, but it is different and there aren't enough hours in the day for me to familiarize myself with it.

No argument there. Some of us just have that mindset.
And I have to say, the view from the other side of the looking glass is equally frustrating. I always feel like I need to know a secret handshake to do anything off the beaten path in MS-Windows. (oh, no, don't send me to the Registry again! I hate that place).

My 2013 Mabon Altar
A witches hat worry stone represents the Goddess area of my altar. Three stones in the center to represent the autumn equinox- garnet(red/purple), carnelian (orange/red), and a moonstone. My incense cauldron burns guilded pear autumn incense & myrrh resin, representing the God altar area. The main area is decorated with the Mabon candle from www.whitemagickalchemy.com with all the wonderful scents of the autumn season! A few seasonal fruits & vegetables to give thanks to the Lord & Lady for the gifts of this bountiful season - pomegranate, squashes, & an avacado. Along with silk flowers of purple & yellow, dried pumpkin seeds & cloves.
Wish there were such a thing as smell-o-vision!
I did some small things today to help celebrate this sabbat, but they felt great big in my heart.
Before I had to go to work, I did a mini-ritual where I made a blessing leaf for the 1st time. I thought about what I wanted for the day, how I wanted to feel. And wrote it (one word) on a bay leaf, then burned it. My word of the day was peace. Guess what kind of day I had at the nursing home? Yes!! Yes I did.
Then at work all day I kept wishing the residents a 'happy 1st day of fall'
Afterall, I cant very well go around saying Mabon blessings to everyone in a small western town predominately jehovahs witness & morman lol!

Servings: 4–6
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
Ready In:
Cook Time:
Ready In:
- 2-1/4 cups Maker's Mark® Bourbon
- 2 live lobsters, 1-1/2 pounds each
- 1 pound shrimp in shell, u16-20, peeled and deveined, shells reserved
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup onion, small dice
- 1/2 cup celery, small dice
- 1/2 cup carrot, small dice
- 1 cup fennel, thinly sliced
- 1 cup leeks, white only, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup parsley stems, rough chopped
- 4 sprigs tarragon
- 1/2 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup shallots, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup cream
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 1 cup Parmigiano cheese, finely grated
- 1/4 cup tarragon leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 pound cooked fresh pappardelle pasta
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Bring a large stock pot of water to a boil (at least 2–3 gallons).
- Hold the lobsters right side up firmly on the cutting board with one hand on the tail end.
- Using the tip of your knife, kill the lobsters by piercing through the shell right behind the eyes; take the knife's point and aim for the place an inch or an inch and a half from between the eyes toward the tail. The blade of the knife should be facing away from your hand that is holding the tail. Press the point of the knife into the head at that point until the point of the knife goes all the way through the lobster's head to the cutting board, then bring the blade down between the eyes to finish the cut of the head.
- Separate the arms/claws from the body and the tail from the body by twisting gently until they break off.
- Reserve the lobster body.
- Poach the tails in the boiling water for 2 minutes, and the arms/claws for 5 minutes, removing the parts to an ice bath to cool down quickly.
- Remove the half-cooked meat from the shells completely and reserve the shells.
- Cut the lobster meat into large chunks, leaving the claws whole.
- Set the lobster meat aside in the refrigerator until needed.
- Clean the lobster bodies, by separating the top and bottom.
- Remove the gills of the lobster, and reserve the liver (tamale) roe and any inner meat from the body.
- Combine the raw shells of the lobster with the cooked shells in a large bowl, as well as the tamale. Set aside.
- In a large stock pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat and add the onion, celery, carrot, fennel, leeks, minced garlic, parsley stems and tarragon sprigs, until soft and caramelized, about 10–15 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste, stir to coat and cook for 1 minute more.
- At this point add the lobster shells and shrimp shells to the pot.
- Using a meat mallet or small sauté pan, crush the lobster shells in the pot, breaking them up.
- Stir to mix well with the vegetables.
- Add 2 cups of the Maker's Mark® Bourbon and reduce by half.
- Add the tomatoes and chicken stock.
- Bring the stock up to a boil and then reduce to a steady simmer.
- Cook the stock for 30 minutes until well flavored.
- Strain the stock through a fine mesh sieve into a clean pot and reduce over medium heat until there are 2 cups of stock left.
- To make the pasta sauce, heat the butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the shallots and sliced garlic and cook until translucent and soft, about 4 minutes.
- Deglaze with 1/4 cup of Maker's Mark® Bourbon.
- Add the lobster stock and cream and reduce by 25%.
- Add the raw shrimp to the sauce and heat, turning, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes each side.
- Add the cherry tomato halves and then the lobster meat.
- Simmer another 4 minutes until lobster is fully cooked.
- Fold in the grated Parmigiano cheese to thicken the sauce, and add the lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the freshly cooked pappardelle.
- Stir in the tarragon leaves and torn basil.
- Sauté for 1–2 minutes for the flavors to bind with the pasta.
- Serve immediately.

Accused LulzSec hacker Cody Kretsinger pleaded guilty on Thursday in federal court in California to charges of taking part in an extensive computer breach of Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Kretsinger, 24, pleaded guilty to one count each of conspiracy and unauthorized impairment of a protected computer in a deal with prosecutors. LulzSec, an offshoot of the international hacking group Anonymous, has taken credit for hacking attacks on government and private sector websites.
"I joined LulzSec, your honor, at which point we gained access to the Sony Pictures website," Kretsinger, who went by the hacking moniker "Recursion," told the judge after entering his guilty plea.
Kretsinger testified that he gave the information he got from the Sony site to other members of LulzSec, who then posted it onto the group's website and on Twitter.
Kretsinger and other LulzSec hackers, including those known as "Sabu" and "Topiary," stole the personal information of thousands of people after launching an "SQL injection" attack on the website, and ultimately caused Sony Pictures Entertainment over $600,000 in damages, Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric Vandevelde said in court.
The plea agreement is under seal, although Vandevelde said Kretsinger would likely receive substantially less than the 15-year maximum sentence he faces. His sentencing is scheduled for July 26. Neither Kretsinger nor his lawyer would comment after the proceedings.

Quentin Tarantino
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Quentin Tarantino (born 27 March 1963 in Knoxville, Tennessee) is an American screenwriter, film director and actor. His films include Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2, Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained.
- Watch the movie closely, and you'll see how personal it is. Here's a film in which cinema brings down the Nazi regime, metaphorically and literally. What could possibly be better than that? In this story, cinema changes the world, and I fucking love that idea!
- I've always thought my soundtracks do pretty good, because they're basically professional equivalents of a mix tape I'd make for you at home.
- Violence is a form of cinematic entertainment.
- I write movies about mavericks, about people who break rules, and I don't like movies about people who are pulverised for being mavericks.
- I look at Death Proof and realize I had too much time.
- "Come on boy, get up."
- The movie Django: Unchained.
- I steal from every single movie ever made. If people don't like that, then tough tills, don't go and see it, all right? I steal from everything. Great artists steal, they don't do homages.
- Empire magazine interview, 1994.
- Sure, Kill Bill's a violent movie. But it's a Tarantino movie. You don't go to see Metallica and ask the fuckers to turn the music down.
- Quentin Tarantino on media criticisms of violence in his movies.
- I am a genre lover – everything from spaghetti western to samurai movie.
- Talking Fiction (Rolling Stone, 2003)[1].
- Sure, and that's the cool thing about DVD: you can pack stuff on the disc that would've been too much for the big screen because actually it would've only interested yourself and a bunch of fanboys, who wanna know everything.

- To me, torture would be watching sports on television.
- But can I tell the genuine-article Italian from the poseur Italian? No. To me they all seem like poseurs.

I followed all your instructions all the way, and was successful at every step.
Just as I got to your last one...
I was celebrating as I logged back in for the last check before taking that last snapshot, I came crashing back down to earth, as I got that 'soul-destroying' "Oops! Something has gone wrong and the system cannot recover" message again.Start again to verify that all is well. If so, quit and replace the snapshot with a new one: freshInstallUpdate
It worked all the way through. I was able to shut down and log back in again perfectly fine.
Until that very last one. There were no reported errors on the upgrades. It all went smoothly. I don't understand what could be the problem now.
We still of course have the latest snapshot to go back to though, so I will await any further thoughts and guidance you have.
Sooo close, and yet still so far.
A potential issue is that I'm almost out of internet allowance, so not sure I'll have enough to redo the upgrades again tonnight. I'll get a top up tomorrow.

Is owning a Hummer a crime???
Here's a horrible case of political correctness...
What is it with the media when it comes to sport-utility vehicles? Let me rephrase: What is it with the liberal media when it comes to SUVs? Why do they hate those vehicles with such thinly veiled vigor? And how to they reconcile that hatred, their undisguised bias against SUVs, with their putative mission to report the news fairly and objectively?
The short answer is that they don't.
Anyone doubting that should review the coverage of a heinous assault on personal property last month in a District of Columbia residential area.
The target of the crime was a 2007 Hummer H2 SUT (Sport Utility Truck), which has a base price of $54,155. It is a niche-market truck, which means it is aimed at a relatively small buyer population — usually young, single men who have a penchant for things such as extreme sports and off-road driving.The H2 is a four-wheel-drive vehicle available as a four-door SUV — its more popular format — or as a four-door pickup, such as the one that was viciously destroyed on what my paper, The Washington Post, called a "narrow, leafy street in Northwest Washington where (Toyota) Prius hybrid cars and Volvos are the norm." The H2 SUT, with its 6.0-liter, 325-horsepower V-8, is the workhorse of the bunch.
General Motors, maker of all things Hummer, sold 17,107 H2 models in the United States last year, down from 23,213 in 2005, a precipitous 26.3 percent drop — a clear indication that the market is doing what it so efficiently does, which is to weed out products that are becoming too expensive because of externalities such as rising fuel prices.
But zealots on narrow, leafy streets have no patience for the workings of the market. They have no respect for freedom of consumer choice. They have no respect for personal-property rights — or for anything or anyone that gets in the way of their self-righteous ideology.
That is bad enough. That is dangerous enough. But what is worse is the tendency of the media to tacitly condone such attitudes and behavior, to chortle over it, make light of it when a violent expression of media-held biases — to wit: We don't like SUVs — occurs.
That is what happened in the local coverage of the attack on Gareth Groves' Hummer H2 SUT. (I repeat the model designation because of the general media's disgusting habit, which is another indication of media bias, of incorrectly describing all Hummer vehicles as being one and the same, as was done in many of the stories about the destruction of the Hummer on Brandywine Street.) Consider The Post's headline on the story: "Hummer Owner Gets Angry Message: Vandals Batter D.C. Man's SUV, Slash Its Tires and Scratch In an Eco Note."
Think about that. A crime against property was committed. It was a hate crime. But because it was a hate crime against a hated SUV, there's a headline that equates the crime to nothing more than delivering an angry message.
What if that Hummer H2 SUT had been a church, synagogue or mosque? Headline: "Congregation Gets Angry Message: Vandals Break Windows, Slash Pews and Carve In an Anti-Religious Note." That would have been sufficient? That would have been fair?

GETTING COZY: Four top European Union officials unveiled a report calling for a closer financial union that will clash with some member states' cherished national interests.
DETAILS, DETAILS: The report, which was vague on details, suggested the system would evolve out of Europe's current financial backstops, which include a bailout fund, a nascent banking supervisor and budget checks.
IT'S A START: The report will be used as a starting point for debate at next week's summit of EU government leaders as they seek a way out of the financial crisis by further increasing control over banks and National budgets.

I have never been a Mac user, never used Mac OSX, but hearing that it is unix based really interested me in becoming a Mac user, although prices always make me think twice. My question is: Mac OS X allows to run purely command line??
Also I have looked in apple´s site for detailed info about the iPod and couldn't answer my question, does anyone know if it can store any type of file like a hd or just mp3??? Now that its available for windows it will be amazing to be able to carry a 10 GB hd in your pocket! Just for mp3 its too expensive but if it can be used for any type of files its a good investment.

Some of the best lessons are hard won I think.
I had loaned this photo, a few years ago, to a girl working on a climbing movie. It popped up a few days ago, on the internet, and got me thinking about my lack of experience BITD.
wow - great picture, and definitely a great adventure. yes - you were very lucky. and since you guys were apparently roped together, a fall might have been catastrophic for all.
With a lot of experiences, one can decide that climbing with tools will make you slower and make you more in danger on the ridge. although I will prefer to have crampons and tools for at least one member of the party, the leader.
Would jumping opposite of ridge work? So if lead falls right of ridge, 2nd jumps to the left of ridge.

Hey guys,
Not too long ago I posted a thread asking about the 501. Well, we did indeed purchase the 501 and it's working like a champ. Now, I've been looking all over the damn place to see about the RAM/Flash memory upgrades. Not because we need them, rather I just want to have the information handy should we need to upgrade the unit in the future.
Here's the thing - It doesn't appear as though the 501 has any upgrades for the RAM/Flash memory. I don't need any other upgrades - The IOS is 6.3, so that's fine and we have the unlimited user bundle.
But, no matter where I looked, it didn't seem like any of the stores offer a 501 RAM/Flash upgrade. Anyone have any clues on this one?

To some people, it has been said, all black people look alike. These days all black issues seem to look alike too.
What else explains the false comparisons that conservatives, who ought to know better, insist on making between two horrible, controversial and yet distinctly different racially charged tragedies?
One is the case of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old who was fatally shot in a Florida confrontation with George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer who is not black. The other tragic case involved Chris Lane, an Australian baseball player who was fatally shot while jogging in Oklahoma, where he was attending college.
Quite a number of conservatives have been searching for their own version of the Martin case ever since the original one erupted. Why? They want to catch President Barack Obama in a racial "Gotcha!"
The right has been steamed ever since the president was asked to comment on the Martin case and responded, "My main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin. You know, if I had a son he'd look like Trayvon."
Reactions to that remark illustrate the sad contours of America's racial divide. As an African-American, I heard in Obama's remarks a heartfelt expression of comfort and reassurance to the parents of a teenager who had been killed under suspicious circumstances. But some of my friends — and I'm talking about real friends, not just some figure of speech — heard a cynical expression of racial solidarity and tribalism from a president who is supposed to know better.
To confirm this Obama-is-a-racist narrative, they need to catch Obama in the act of racial hypocrisy. That's why many of the same conservatives who had insisted race talk didn't belong in the Trayvon Martin case rushed eagerly to inject it into the awesomely awful case of Australian baseball player Christopher Lane.
Two black teens have been charged with shooting Lane from a passing car allegedly driven by a white friend, who faces lesser charges. One of them was quoted by police as saying they committed the heinous act because they were "bored."
Let's be clear: None of these kids is a credit to his race. But radio host Rush Limbaugh outdid his own high levels of windbag distortion in calling the Lane killing "Trayvon Martin in reverse, only worse."
Fox News' Eric Bolling, co-host of "The Five," declared that "mainstream media" weren't covering the "racially charged" Oklahoma shooting because of many journalists' liberal biases. Never mind that Oklahoma District Attorney Jason Hicks denied that race motivated Lane's killing. Why let mere facts get in the way of blimp-size bloviations?
Black conservatives weighed in too. One of them, Robert Woodson, head of the Center for Neighborhood Enterprise, brought a racially mixed luncheon crowd of Republicans to their feet with, "We should not wait for a white face before we get outraged. Evil is evil, whether it wears a white face or not."
That's right. Well said, Woodson. In fact, despite rumors to the contrary, even the much-maligned Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have agreed in public with that much!
But outrage needs to be aimed at constructive action. To claim that the nationwide protests were only about Martin's slaying misses the point. The outrage in Florida was aimed at how poorly Martin's case was investigated.
Zimmerman was questioned quickly and released without charges. Meanwhile, Martin's body continued to lie in a morgue, unidentified and unclaimed, while his parents wondered all night where he was.
The parents wanted answers, but news media, including Fox, were not very interested in the story until activists and black talk radio stepped in. After protests grew, the state opened a proper investigation that led to Zimmerman's prosecution.
Police say they released Zimmerman because they doubted they would be able to get a conviction. They may have been right, considering how Florida's controversial "stand your ground" law strengthens pleas of self-defense. Zimmerman's not-guilty verdict fueled more protests to change such laws.
In short, let's keep the real issues straight. The Christopher Lane atrocity brought a swift response. The system worked. The Trayvon Martin tragedy raised serious questions about whether the system works for everybody. Presidents always should raise that question, no matter what color they happen to be.

Suppose we have an undirected graph with integer valued nodes where $0<|i-j|\le 2$ implies nodes $i$ and $j$ are connected. Let $c_n$ be the number of self-avoiding walks on this graph of length $n$ starting at origin. Define the connective constant as
$$\mu = \lim_{n\to \infty} c_n^{\frac{1}{n}}$$
What is known about $\mu$? This quantity seems to be related to the transition temperature of an Ising model on such graph, has such model been studied?

Assemblyman John Ceretto, R-C-I-Lewiston, voted Thursday in favor of an exemption for qualified retired police officers from the provisions of the SAFE Act. While Ceretto maintains his opposition to the SAFE Act as a whole and wants to see the entire law repealed, he views this exemption as another step toward the process of total repeal.
"The SAFE Act is a very bad law that was passed through a very bad process," he said. "This is why we had to amend the law during the budget negotiations, and we had to return to amend the law again five months later. The law as a whole must be repealed.
"In the meantime, this exemption gives Second Amendment rights back to at least a segment of the population. I look forward to the day that Second Amendment rights are restored for all law-abiding citizens."

Here's a Snapshot of How Posterous Might Just Transform Your Social Media Marketing
But this is only the beginning, let me explain…
When a new social networking web site or blog provider starts rolling out their services, there is always a high risk that it will simply be a flash in the pan. Posterous has much more promise than this. Yes, it is a blogging platform, but more on the level of being a content distribution service for social media marketing. Think of what Tube Mogul does, but change that into a more interactive process that includes social networking websites such as Twitter, Facebook, and other blog providers such as Facebook, TypePad, and even self-hosted Movable Type blogs.
Imagine Having All Your Social Media Efforts Fully Integrated and Being Able to Publish Everywhere Instantly…
That's what's at stake. So, let's say that I have a Posterous account. I would like to post a blog. There are two ways that I can do this. I can either use the web interface in my blogs admin panel, or I can simply e-mail a blog post no matter where I am, and this will be published. I can also attach images to this e-mail, along with video and audio, however this is only the beginning of the process. I can also notify Posterous what other accounts I have elsewhere, and Posterous will automatically update statuses on Twitter, and Facebook. Not only that, but I can also have my blog posts re-posted at other hosted blogs such as WordPress and Type Pad, and even update status messages on YouTube, send images to Picasa, and much more. Currently there are 28 services that are supported, plus the rare feature that allows updating on a custom page that you have created on FaceBook. Normally this is a difficult process, however Posterous have developed an application for doing just this, and it is literally within the click of a button.
Why are so many people talking so highly about Posterous? From an SEO standpoint, if you have a product that you are trying to sell, social media is one of the best-selling tools that you can possibly use. Social Media is a means of creating an online persona that the consumer can relate to, and ask questions. You can also ask the consumer questions, which will in turn result in more interaction. This can be a lengthy process, and a lot of SEO Experts do tend to outsource their social media interactions to other people. Posterous allows for at least 50% of this interaction to be centralized. You write a blog post, all of your followers on Twitter are notified, as are the followers of your other blog on WordPress, and the same for those who are fans of your page on Facebook. This of course can also result in the domination of the front page of your keyword results in Google if you effectively use the right keywords, and can generate valuable back links as well.
Of course, there are many blogging platforms out there such as WordPress, TypePad, Moveable Type, Blogger, and many more. These are all great platforms, which probably plays a good part in the deciding factor as to why all of these platforms are supported by Posterous. The level of control within Posterous is second to none, with custom domain names being allowed, not just in the form of a top level domain name, but also in the way of a subdomain, which is great for those who want a blog sub domain to help boost the credibility of their main domain. Built in analytics is something that is also available, not in the way of their own custom reporting such as what is available with WordPress, but more in the way of Google Analytics. Feedburner is also supported. If you have people who would like to contribute to your Posterous blog, you can also sign them up as a contributor, which will allow them to post as well via e-mail.
Why not give it a try. Simply send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com using your title as the blog headline, and the body of the e-mail as your blog content, and you should get an immediate reply with your new credentials. Told you it was that easy!
We'll be trying out Posterous more and more over the coming months and will give everyone an update once we know the full story.

Shares of JAYASWAL NECO INDUSTRIES LTD. (JAYNECOIND.BO) have seen the needle move -2.11% or -0.21 in the most recent session. The BSE listed company saw a recent bid of $9.75 on 122532 volume.
The investing world can be an exciting yet scary place. It is an ever-changing environment filled with profits, losses, and everything in-between. There are always new challenges waiting right around the corner for the individual investor. Just when things seem stable and steady, some unexpected event can send markets into a tizzy. Most investors try hard to create a stock portfolio that can stand on its own during the stormy periods. Unsettling market conditions come with the territory, but knowing how to deal with these conditions can separate the winners from the losers over the long run.
JAYASWAL NECO INDUSTRIES LTD. (JAYNECOIND.BO) has a 14-day ATR of 0.66. The Average True Range is an investor tool used to measure stock volatility. The ATR is not used to figure out price direction, just to measure volatility. The ATR is an indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder. Wilder has developed multiple indicators that are still quite popular in today's investing landscape. The general interpretation of the ATR is the higher the ATR value, the higher the volatility.
Currently, the 14-day ADX for JAYASWAL NECO INDUSTRIES LTD. (JAYNECOIND.BO) is sitting at 11.76. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would support a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would identify a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would lead to an extremely strong trend. ADX is used to gauge trend strength but not trend direction. Traders often add the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to identify the direction of a trend.
The RSI, or Relative Strength Index, is a widely used technical momentum indicator that compares price movement over time. The RSI was created by J. Welles Wilder who was striving to measure whether or not a stock was overbought or oversold. The RSI may be useful for spotting abnormal price activity and volatility. The RSI oscillates on a scale from 0 to 100. The normal reading of a stock will fall in the range of 30 to 70. A reading over 70 would indicate that the stock is overbought, and possibly overvalued. A reading under 30 may indicate that the stock is oversold, and possibly undervalued. After a recent check, the 14-day RSIfor JAYASWAL NECO INDUSTRIES LTD. (JAYNECOIND.BO) is currently at 47.33, the 7-day stands at 43.49, and the 3-day is sitting at 33.10.
Looking further at additional technical indicators we can see that the 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) for JAYASWAL NECO INDUSTRIES LTD. (JAYNECOIND.BO) is sitting at -73.13. CCI is an indicator used in technical analysis that was designed by Donald Lambert. Although it was originally intended for commodity traders to help identify the start and finish of market trends, it is frequently used to analyze stocks as well. A CCI reading closer to +100 may indicate more buying (possibly overbought) and a reading closer to -100 may indicate more selling (possibly oversold).
Moving averages can help spot trends and price reversals. They may also be used to help find support or resistance levels. Moving averages are considered to be lagging indicators meaning that they confirm trends. A certain stock may be considered to be on an uptrend if trading above a moving average and the average is sloping upward. On the other side, a stock may be considered to be in a downtrend if trading below the moving average and sloping downward. Shares of JAYASWAL NECO INDUSTRIES LTD. (JAYNECOIND.BO) have a 7-day moving average of 10.00. Taking a glance at the relative strength indictor, we note that the 14-day RSI is currently at 47.33, the 7-day stands at 43.49, and the 3-day is sitting at 33.10.
Stock market knowledge can be highly powerful. Successful investors are often highly knowledgeable and have put in the appropriate amount of time to become this way. Proper stock market knowledge may take a long time to acquire. Investors may spend countless hours trying to get an edge, and they may still feel like they are swimming upstream. Preparation and common sense can be highly important when trying to stay on top of the equity market. These days, there is no shortage of information for investors to get their hands on. The challenge then becomes how best to use the information at hand in order to develop knowledge that will help drive profits higher.

Grimshaw was also used Victorian photographic techniques, projecting outlines onto canvases with a camera obscura or painting over photographs.

The Congress continues to face serious budgetary challenges and it is time we take control of spending instead of letting it control the Congress. In recent years, federal spending has increased at an unsustainable pace, allowing our national debt to spiral out of control. Trillons have been spent on bailouts and stimulus packages to help grow our economy, but all it has done is increase our debt and the size of the federal bureaucracy while leaving our nation's unemployment rate hovering around nine percent.

Ang Thong National Marine Park
Earth : Asia : Southeast Asia : Thailand : Southern Thailand : Central Gulf Coast : Ang Thong National Marine Park
Ang Thong National Marine Park is a fascinating archipelago of 42 or so islands in the Central Gulf Coast of Southern Thailand. It is northwest of Ko Samui.
Most of the islands are close to each other, making a breathtaking panorama when sailing around the park. All the islands are of different sizes and shapes. Most of them are covered with tropical forests and named after their distinguishing geography, a kind of descriptive appellation, such as 'Sleeping Cow Island' and 'Three Pillars Island'. Ko Wua Talap is the island that contains park headquarters as well as tourist information center, a restaurant,Buaboke Cave, tourist bungalows as well as the famous view point from where you can see the panoramic view of the National Park. Ko Wua Talap has two beaches. Both beaches are located on opposite ends of the island and it is possible to go from one to another via a short but by no means easy jungle trek (around 30 mins) using a trail. There is a rope all along the trail which ensures you do not get lost.
Ang Thong translates as "golden bowl". It occupies almost 250 sq km and includes 50 sq km of limestone islands and karst topography which rise from the sea as dramatic rock cliffs and bizarre rock formations. Caves, hidden lagoons, and white sand beaches are there to be explored and snorkelling among the shallow coral gardens makes for a popular and fascinating day trip.
Ang Thong National Marine Park is a protected nature area consisting of over 40 islands, and is famous for its natural beauty. All of the islands are uninhabited and undeveloped except for two. One being Ko Wua Talap and other, Ko Paluay, which is inhabited by sea gypsies who still earn a living from fishing.
Flora and fauna
The woods in this national park can be classified as dry evergreen forest, beach forest, and limestone forest. Dry evergreen forests are found in larger islands like Wuatalab, Paluay and Samsao.
Beach forests are lighter woods found in small stretches along the beaches and the shoulders. Limestone forests are found on limestone mountains with thin soil layer. Plants are smaller.
Larger animals do not thrive on these islands as they are small and dominated mostly by steep limestone mountains, with only few lightly to moderately slanted plains. Sixteen species of mammals like otters, langurs, crab-eating monkeys, hogs, silver haired bats, dolphins, and whales can be found here.
Other inhabitants include at least 54 species of birds, including little herons, Brahminy kites, common sandpipers, oriental pied hornbills, drongoes and hill mynas. Fourteen species of reptiles are also found. Such as ground lizards, iguanas, Green turtles, hawksbill turtles, pythons, and cobras.
Only five species of amphibians are found: common Asian toads, tiger frogs, rugose frogs, grass frogs, and tree frogs.
The waters of the national park are home to butterfly fish, angel fish, parrot fish, blue-spotted fantail rays, blacktip reef sharks, snappers, groupers, sea slugs, blue swimming crabs, sea fans, sea whips, giant clams, oysters, and coral. The park is also a breeding ground for mackerel.
Get in
Access to the park is controlled, but there are several Samui-based boat rental and kayak operators who are licensed carriers, catering to both independent visitors and organized kayaking/camping trips. There are also boats based on Ko Phangan or Ko Tao that run sailing liveaboard cruises to Ang Thong.
You can go to the park via slow, time-consuming ferries with many other people in big groups (40-50 persons, only from Ko Samui or Pha Ngan) or in smaller groups (maximum 25 persons) by speedboat, so that you can enjoy more from park and less transit. As on Feb 2013 , Tours from Samui or Pha Ngan can cost anywhere between 1300 baht (including park fees excluding kayaking) to 2100 baht(Kayaking and park fee included).Tours includes pick-up from accommodation, a light breakfast, speedboat transfer to the park with nice snorkelling (better than anywhere on Ko Pha Ngan), visiting crowded touristy Emerald Lake viewpoint, then a buffet lunch either on the ferry or on Ko Wua Talap (park headquarters) island which contains the beautiful viewpoint. Reaching this view point on top of a cliff needs some tough hiking. If you can go to the top without breaks at three lower viewpoints and you are really fit you can be on top in 30 mins. Lower viewpoints with lesser views are less challenging.
Note that many times due to high tide on the main beach of Ko Wua Talap it is not possible for ferries to drop you on the main beach. In that case most operators will take you to the second beach on the other end of the island and will try to convince you stay on this beach robbing you of the chance to climb up to viewpoint. In that case do insist that you want to go to the other end using the jungle trail and that you need more time.
While most tourists will go on the day tour as per the itenary mentioned above , to truly appreciate the heaven that is this place it is recommended that you stay on the basic bungalows for atleast 1-2 nights. The reservation for the bungalows can be made by thai government website. Reservations should be made well in advance as they tend to get booked pretty fast.
If you want avoid crowds and money is not a problem or you are travelling with friends in a bigger group, you can do a private tour for 15,000 baht for a maximum of 10 persons.
Admission to the marine park is normally not included in the tour fee unless otherwise specified. 200 baht/foreigner, 100 baht for foreign children under 12 years old. Price for locals 40 baht.
Get around
The most common transport from Ko Samui are tour boats taking 40-50 people, with lunch on board. These require you to transfer to a longtail boat to get onto the shore of whatever island you are visiting, which can be tricky and requires a modicum of fitness.
You can take speedboat tours which also include a snorkelling program and fewer people. It gets you to the archipelago faster. The best way is to put together a group of friends to hire a boat and explore the islands and beaches on your own schedule.
Most tours go to the park's visitor centre for lunch and kayaking. The visitor centre is visited by most tour operators, making it very crowded, from about 10:00 to 16:00. Before and after, it's a totally secluded place with almost nobody around.
Ko Mae Ko (Mother Island) is a must-visit. Here, an emerald seawater lake in the middle of the island is encircled on all sides by limestone cliffs, but linked by an underground tunnel to the sea. Reaching the lake entails a strenuous climb of 40 minutes or so, but is rewarded with a spectacular view across the whole park.
The climb is up a series of staircases wonderfully combined into the natural landscape of the karst, threading through a narrow opening in the rock face at one point, and entailing minimum exertion if you pace yourself and are in decent physical shape. The final series of steps is a bit steep and caution should be exercised when descending the steps, but the entire trip up and down should not take more than 40 minutes unless you stop and enjoy spectacular Emerald Lagoon.
Caves on many of the islands have intriguing rock formations. Visit one for an awesome experience. The beaches are surrounded with excellent coral reefs which make for perfect swimming and snorkelling. Hundreds of beaches here in the archipelago are deserted. Get a boat and find your own secret beach away from the crowds.
Other popular sites are Ko Sam Sao (Tripod Island), with an extensive coral reef, and Wua Talap Island or "sleeping cow". It takes some effort to climb up the steep 430 m hill to a viewpoint offering great scenery of the entire archipelago and the mainland.
The main restaurant, managed by Nam, is excellent and offers a variety of cuisine. Be careful to order early as the cook leaves by 22:00 and the lights go out at 23:00. Cheapest meal is vegetable fried rice at 60 baht. Delicious meals with good portions cost 100-120 baht, worth every penny, but place your order as soon as possible, because preparation is VERY slow. Expect waiting for 30-40 minutes for meals in this uncrowded restaurant.
The park headquarters has two "bars" that sell beer. By "bar", we mean a cooler full of beer. But when sitting on the beach watching the sunset, it beats most bars and clubs fairly easily.
You should take water. You'll need plenty.
The park headquarters is located on Ko Wua Talap, which has basic bungalow accommodation.
The park has 5 bungalows which are of different sizes. The costs are quite low: 500 baht per day for a 2 bedroom cottage. The cottages are set against a beautiful backdrop and the park staff are very friendly, and fanatical about football. However, please note that the park is not for the resort seeker. Facilities are basic: no hot water. And the park shuts off its generator at 23:00. So no electricity at night (which only adds to the appeal of the place). Reservations can be made using thai government website [dnp.go.th/parkreserve/reservation.asp?lg=2].
If the cottages are full, you can rent a tent for 2 for 250 baht. You can also bring your own tent and camp at the campground. But you will almost always find a tent to rent.
Probably one of the best hikes in Thailand. At park headquarters there is a path leading up the side of the rocks. This will take maybe 25-30 minutes to walk up, and well worth it. But be warned, this is not a hike for the faint-hearted. Make sure you have good footwear as there are sharp limestone crags which will be your foothold, especially towards the peak. With a breathtaking view of all the Ang Thong islands, the end-result of the hike is well worth it. Beware though, the hike is very steep in some sections and offer questionable ropes to hang on to. But this hike alone will justify your trip to Ang Thong.
Stay safe
Obvious things like take water, hat, sunscreen and something like an old t-shirt to cover up with when you are snorkelling.

WEST SIDE STORY soars as the greatest love story of all time and remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The Bernstein and Sondheim score is considered to be one of Broadway's finest and features such classics of the American musical theatre as "Something's Coming," "Tonight," "America," "I Feel Pretty" and "Somewhere."
WEST SIDE STORY is written by three theatrical luminaries: two-time Tony Award winner Arthur Laurents (book) and multiple Tony and Grammy Award winners Leonard Bernstein (music) and Stephen Sondheim (lyrics) in his Broadway debut.

New England Conservatory's Jordan Hall, Boston
The "popular tradition among local early music fans" (The Boston Globe) continues over Thanksgiving weekend with the fifth annual BEMF Chamber Opera Series presentation: a new production of Monteverdi's Orfeo.
Behind-the-scenes video preview by Kathy Wittman | Ball Square Films
Widely regarded as the first great opera, Orfeo features one of opera's most adored stories, in which the heroic Orfeo endures the tragic death of his beloved Euridice, and travels to the underworld to plead for her return.
Breathtaking in its beauty and variety, this masterpiece defined an art form still in its infancy with rich instrumental colors, dramatic word painting, and a virtuosic opulence of tone and texture. Experience this magical musical entertainment, exquisitely presented by the internationally acclaimed directors, singers, instrumentalists, and dancers of the Boston Early Music Festival!

Insurance can be one of the more significant expenses associated with vehicle ownership, but it doesn't have to be. Many of the variables influencing your insurance rate have to do with factors that may be difficult to control: where you live, your accident history, your yearly mileage and so on.
But if you're still shopping for a vehicle, take comfort in knowing there's one aspect of your insurance equation that you can easily influence: the kind of car you drive. The make and model of your vehicle plays a significant part in determining your auto insurance rate. It makes sense, then, to consider this factor when deciding on a new car.
With this in mind, we've compiled a list of the 10 cars most likely to command the lowest insurance premiums based on five-year projections of the Edmunds.com True Cost to OwnSM (TCO) pricing system. Each model's ranking reflects that of the trim level with the lowest projected insurance expense.
