Ezmod Furniture Offers Modern Classic Furniture At Affordable Prices
Nov 18, 2009 12:30:31 PM
Modern classic furniture is revolutionizing the furniture industry and home designs throughout the country. The modern furniture borrows classic ideas from the past and modernizes them for a look that is both contemporary and stylish. The only problem with many modern classic furniture companies is that their prices are too steep and many buyers are left with no choice but to forego these appealing options when furnishing their homes.
Ezmod Furniture, however, offers a wide selection of modern classic furniture that won't leave you feeling like you're breaking the bank when purchasing. Many of our items are below the list price and we offer competitive pricing no matter what your budget is.
Take, for example, our beautiful Nelson Bench; it features natural wood and is as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional. The bench is a trademark of modern classic design and is a timeless piece that can be used as a coffee table, a seating bench or as a platform for displaying just about anything. While our competitors offer this classic bench at $372, we offer it for only $239.
The Tribeca Coffee Table that we offer is also a wonderful piece that functions as both a sculpture and furniture. It is based on the classic design of the Noguchi Table for the Museum of Modern Art in New York and features a glass top and wooden structure. We offer the Tribeca Coffee Table at $360 while our competitors offer the same coffee table for $512.50.
Our Black Le Corbusier Petite Sofa also features an enduring design that utilizes leather upholstery and a steel frame for support. This sofa is based on a design for the 1929 Salon d'Automne and is perfect for your home or reception area in your office. We save you money by offering this magnificent sofa for only $899, our competitors, however, seem to have a different tactic in mind when they offer the same sofa for $1,800.
At Ezmod Furniture we pride ourselves on providing you with high quality furniture that enhances any room, no matter what size. We offer everything from sofas to coffee tables to beds at affordable prices. While our competitors demand high prices for the same items, we bring you reasonable prices that make it possible for you to afford beautiful modern classic furniture. Be sure to check out our site at ezmodfurniture.com to browse through our extensive collection of furniture.

JibJab Threatened Over Use Of Woody Guthrie Song
from the hello,-lawyer,-let-me-explain-satire-to-you... dept
For the last few weeks, the JibJab site and their amusing political parody of Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" has been getting passed around the net. It's well done, and deserves much of the praise it's been getting. However, it appears the folks who own the rights to Woody Guthrie's music are anything but pleased, and are demanding that JibJab stop distributing the flash movie. Their biggest complaint seems to be that "This puts a completely different spin on the song," which will "damage" the song. Anyone who can't see how utterly ridiculous this is has no job watching over Woody Guthrie's music. Guthrie, after all, is the same singer who once put the following copyright notice on his work: "This song is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright # 154085, for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin it without our permission, will be mighty good friends of ourn, cause we don't give a dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote it, that's all we wanted to do." Apparently, no one told the folks at the humorless Richmond Organization.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The government's consumer finance watchdog is in talks to settle charges that a California businessman falsely promised to help lower homeowners' monthly mortgage payments.
Abraham Michael Pessar said that he is talking to officials and is close to resolving the case, the first of its kind brought by the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The case, one of only two public enforcement actions by the agency so far, is seen as a bellwether of its approach to enforcing consumer laws. Companies, lawyers and advocates are dissecting it for hints about how tough the new regulator will be and what practices it will target.
The government in July accused Pessar and another businessman, Chance Gordon, of misleading homeowners about their chances of negotiating lower mortgage payments. It says the two charged illegal, up-front fees and did little to help clients who signed up.
Pessar and Gordon marketed their service to struggling homeowners with mailed flyers and phone marketing, the government said in its complaint. Some of the flyers included the logos of government agencies and a Washington, D.C., mailbox address. It is illegal to imply falsely that a loan modification service is endorsed by the government.
The businesses' phone operators sometimes suggested that people should stop paying their mortgages in order to qualify for lower payments, the government said. That also would violate consumer protection laws.
A federal district court in central California allowed the bureau to raid the men's offices, freeze their assets and investigate claims that homeowners in at least 25 states were misled about the company's services. It appointed a receiver to oversee the companies.
Pessar declined to elaborate on his statement that he is close to settling the charges. A lawyer for Gordon disputed the charges and said that Pessar was responsible for the customer contacts cited by the government. The CFPB declined to comment because it does not confirm or discuss enforcement matters.
However, the agency last week filed papers indicating that Pessar has agreed not to dispute the allegations.
Loan modification companies are among the industries the agency began overseeing when it gained power in July 2011. Its enforcement division can bring civil charges against anyone accused of violating consumer protection laws related to financial products.

JayVon Muhammad, a midwife from South Carolina, speaks out against single moms on her site urbanmidwifery.com, calling the increase in single motherhood the "Baby Mama Epidemic." Her message is clear: "Being a Baby Mama" is NOT normal." And "Having a spouse to love, care, and provide for you allows you to take your rightful place in the home. The feminine role! The role of wife, mother, first teacher, first nurse." Plus: Arnold Schwarzenegger's Love Child: The Single Mom Take
She claims the media is to blame for normalizing single moms, and she's launched a campaign to "dispel the lie." She's specifically aiming her efforts toward the black community, where she says 70% of babies are born to unwed mothers, but I suppose any unmarried mama is suspect in her eyes. Plus: The Single Parent Handbook
According to her site, "Being Married is WHAT's UP!" And while a healthy marriage can provide more stability for a child, isn't it hard to lump all single moms (teens vs. adults, planned vs. unplanned, completely solo vs. in a committed relationship) into one group? And do single moms, some doing the best they can after having been abandoned by their partners, need to be made to feel even worse about their situation?
Muhammad does, for the record, offer money and emotional support to pregnant women who are "homeless, unemployed, heart-broken, or embarrassed because their relationship has fallen apart, and now they are pregnant and left to raise a child alone" – with a side order of guilt. Plus: The Married Single Mom
What do you think? Do all kids need married parents? Is there a Baby Mama Epidemic?

Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life SYNOPSIS
Ayn Rand was born in 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Defying the death warrant of the Soviet Union, she came to America as a temporary visitor in 1926 but remained for the rest of her life. Later, she would also defy the cultural and political views of contemporary America in such best-selling novels as THE FOUNTAINHEAD and ATLAS SHRUGGED. Her unique philosophy, Objectivism, challenged the cultural tradition of 2,500 years . . .

That was the consensus of experts who spoke Tuesday at a health care forum sponsored by the East Carolina University chapter of Phi Kappa Phi, the national honor society. The event was in the auditorium of the Brody Medical Sciences Building.
Dr. Henry J. Aaron, an economist with the Brookings Institution, noted that annual national health care cost increases of 2.5 percent mean the cost will double in 25 years. By the 2030s, he said, health care costs will consume 30 percent of U.S. gross domestic product, or the output of the nation's economy.
Aaron also said the country is headed toward 50 million uninsured people from about 48 million today.
Of the two major presidential candidates, Aaron said Sen. John McCain's plan to move people to private health insurance and away from employer-based plans is "radical." "It would begin to unwind the fundamental structure through which most people get insurance," he said. He also said it would never make it through Congress, especially a Democratic Congress.
Sen. Barack Obama's plan would expand access to health coverage similar to what federal employees receive. Aaron said a Democratic Congress would likely pressure a President Obama to introduce legislation creating universal health coverage.
Aaron suggested an alternative: expanding state children's health insurance programs to their parents and earmarking the equivalent of 1 percent of the programs' costs to studying how to make the program more cost-effective.
Other speakers noted that North Carolina is not a healthy state, which drives up costs, and that the state will need a larger health care workforce to handle the patient volume that would come with greater health coverage; that certain segments of the population use more health care dollars than others; and that community-based care plans can help increase access to care, improve outcomes and lower costs.
Joel Butler, chief external affairs officer at University Health Systems of Eastern Carolina and a member of the ECU board of trustees, said political leadership to drastically change a system 80 percent of the population is happy with -- for example, creating a single-payer system -- is likely lacking.
Robert Greczyn, president and chief executive of Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina and chair of the ECU board of trustees, moderated the forum, which included a question-and-answer session from audience members.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - World number one Serena Williams has been top-seeded for the U.S. Open where she will be seeking to win the women's singles title for a third consecutive year, the United States Tennis Association announced on Wednesday.
Williams has emerged triumphant five times in the year's last grand slam tournament, clinching the crown in 1999, 2002, 2008, 2012 and 2013.
Though the American has not progressed beyond the fourth round at a grand slam in 2014 mainly due to back trouble and a virus, she served notice she is back to her best by winning her fifth WTA title of the season in Cincinnati on Sunday.
With her U.S. Open victory last year, Williams earned her 17th grand slam singles title, putting her sixth in the all-time list with only Steffi Graf (22), Chris Evert (18) and Martina Navratilova (18) ahead of her in the professional era.
Romania's world number two Simona Halep, a surprise finalist at the French Open earlier this year, has been seeded second for the 2014 U.S. Open at Flushing Meadows with big-serving Czech Petra Kvitova, the Wimbledon champion, seeded third and Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska fourth.
Reigning French Open champion Maria Sharapova of Russia, who won the 2006 U.S. Open, is seeded fifth.
World number three Li Na of China, a semi-finalist at Flushing Meadows last year, withdrew from the U.S. Open last month because of a knee injury.
The U.S. Open draw will be conducted at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on Thursday before the tournament starts on Monday.

algorithmic modeling for Rhino
hi All,
as rabbit and it's L-system is not yet developed for newer versions of GH i'm wondering how would it be possible to make use of hoopsnake for branching. I'm doing branch column which has circular section. At some point i found out that this might need some loop to make it more effective in case of any further changes of parameters.
Adam Chalupski
Views: 4024
are you looking for a treestructure?
not with hoopsnake yet, but maybe somthing to start from
Best Regards
Circle version will be "a bit" more complex since the number of points in every next level of the tree grows different then in the "square version".
Basicly, i want every branch to always split in two others. In .ghx example i found the right distribution of points but i'm i couldn't find the good solution of how to connect them with the lines to make the branches.
That will be only half way since that solution creates the tree which is "empty" inside. I would like it to distribute points on every level evenly (or close to evenly) on entire surface of the circles.
that solution makes doing branching much faster ! I found a little bit of mistery in that code and cannot run the loop. It's not clear to me where exactly 'tree branch'>'path' and 'flat'>'path' are connected to. I just pluged them to the HS counter output but it still creates an error.
it's also interesting how does modulus division works here. I put integer '2' as a divisor.
thank You sistemiq for interest in that topic !
Oops yeah the screenshot hides some details, here is the source.
The tree components are used to separate and retrieve the constructed lines and the current points in 2 branches ({0} and {1}).
here is no Hoopsnake in it, but the circular bending is working :-)
Best Regards

Only 1 word to explain what this car is like is: INSANE
This car was in Hot Rod Drag Week 2005 & 2006, Jan. 2006 Hot Rod Magazine article, Jan. 2007 Hot Rod Magazine article, was in Car Craft Jan. 2006, Car Craft Feb. 2007 and PRI Jan. 2007 MSD ads, in MSD 2007 Catalog, Hot Rod TV used it in thier advertisements, and it ran in Pinks All Out Feb. 2007
Purchased under at tree in Loveland, CO on Memorial day, 2001. This was 4 year project built on weekends during the winters. I do not have time during the summer. I work at a race track... It was nearly 4 years to the day, when I 'brought it home'. Had it out and about for 2 years now (2007). That is equivelant to about 250 miles! I am proud to have done everything except for the exterior paint and body. I had such a great deal from a friend (Custom Paint & Design - Fort Collins), that I had to let him do it all. Help from my dad and brother. Just wanted a fun street car. My Roadrunner is very streetable, but not that fun to 'cruise around' in anymore. Especially at $6 per gallon and 4 mpg. I always loved the E-bodies. My ultimate street/fun E-body would have, in the end, had a 6-speed and A/C. Maybe a swift little 360 crate. Maybe a 426 Hemi crate... It still turned out to be a very cool car. My brother and dad thought I was kiding when I told them it was a driver. It is. Just not as often as I had hoped.
Looking into a 5.7 crate Hemi from Mopar... how cool... a modern "Hemi Barracuda"! Some great deals on crate motors in Denver, plus a lead on a supercharged 5.7 out of V.Gaines (NHRA Pro Stock driver) personal Ddoge Magnum.

The transmission is a 727 reverse valve body automatic with transmission brake and 3200 stall. It has a B & M Magnum grip shifter installed in the factory console. (Built by Tranzact Racing Transmissions)
The rear end is a 373 Detroit locker with Moser axles and Strange gears along with QA1 Billet shocks and Caltracs traction bar system.
This is a factory A/C car but NO a/c parts are currently on the car.
The body is all original and uncut w/fiberglass AAR hood.
Complete new Alterkation front suspension with tubular "A" arms, QA1 coilovers, and rack and pinion steering.
It has 4 wheel aerospace disk brakes with line-lock and billet calipers.
There is a nice stereo with CD player also.

STATE — Do you know how many cases are filed in New Jersey's municipal courts each year?
Do you know how citizens are chosen for jury duty?
Do you know how many cases the Supreme Court is asked to review each year?
To find the answers, check the new, interactive web page for school kids on njcourts.com, the Judiciary's website.
Judge Glenn A. Grant, acting administrative director of the courts, launched the new kids' site, NJ Court Kids in time for Constitution and Citizenship Day, which is observed nationally on Sept. 17, the date in 1787 that U.S. Constitution was ratified by the Constitutional Convention.
"Amid a worrisome decline in civics education in our schools and communities, we want to become a resource for the public, and especially students, to learn about their government. Our website offers a number of helpful tools to support civics education in the classroom and at home," said Judge Grant.
The new page includes original content specific to New Jersey's court system, including overviews of the municipal court system, the trial court system, jury service and the Supreme Court. Each section includes an interactive quiz that lets students test their understanding based on the readings. The sections are geared toward middle school-aged readers and can be assigned as homework, used as a resource for research projects, or simply perused by interested readers who want to gain a better understanding of the New Jersey courts.
"Our Constitution is the oldest—and the shortest—constitution of any major nation, and the court system that it created is without a doubt the best in the world," said Judge Grant. "I hope that everyone will take the time on Constitution Day to learn more about our system of government, and our role as citizens."
The kids' page also includes links to state and federal government educational sites and bar association educational sites that provide information on the judicial branch and the legal system for students and teachers.

ARDMORE, Pa. (AP) – Shawn Stefani has aced the 17th hole at the U.S. Open.
He's the first golfer to make a hole-in-one at any U.S. Open at Merion, which previously hosted four.
He used a 4-iron on the 213-yard, par-3 hole in Sunday's final round.
He made golfing history when his shot bounced out of the rough and rolled some 50 feet toward the pin before falling in the cup.
Stefani raised his arms and hopped around the tee in celebration. He shot a 1-under 69 in the final round.
He signed his glove and a scorecard to donate to the USGA Museum in Far Hills, N.J. He declined a request to give up the ball.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are edging higher on Wall Street after a report showed that the U.S. trade deficit narrowed sharply in December.
The market is also getting a boost from strong earnings reports.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 47 points to 13,991 shortly before noon Friday.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index was up six points at 1,516 and the Nasdaq composite rose 29 points to 3,192.
The trade deficit fell nearly 21 percent in December from November to $38.6 billion, the smallest in nearly three years. Exports rose while oil imports plummeted.
The smaller gap means the economy likely performed better in the final three months of last year than first estimated last week.
LinkedIn and Microchip Technology, a semiconductor maker, rose after reporting strong earnings.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — As the fee fight between Time Warner Cable and CBS threatens to prevent millions of Americans from viewing major sporting events this weekend, fans will be hanging out in bars, hooking up antennas, and firing up laptops to get around the blackout.
Nancy Keiter, a graphic designer in New York, is patching together an unusual schedule. She plans to watch early rounds of the PGA Championship golf tournament on TNT on Saturday and Sunday until 2 p.m. Eastern time. Then, she'll switch from the TV set to her computer, where she'll head to PGA.com. The site will follow the featured golfers with live video coverage through the trophy ceremony.
Still, Keiter is peeved that she can't watch the action the normal way: by switching to CBS on her TV.
"I have my fingers crossed that cooler heads will prevail," she said in an email interview. "I think it is so rich that CBS and Time Warner say they have the 'best interests' of the viewers in mind. Please. This is about money and shareholders, not about the viewer!"
Both CBS and Time Warner appear to be hunkered down for the long haul. Their fight is over how much Time Warner Cable pays for CBS programming and how much of the network's content it can use online. Since they couldn't agree, about 3 million cable subscribers in New York, Los Angeles and Dallas have been without CBS programming since Aug. 2.
Although both companies say negotiations are ongoing, top spokespeople for both companies were away on Friday and weren't expected back for the remainder of the weekend. Time Warner Cable sent out a press release Thursday detailing how consumers could find sports and other CBS programming in other ways.
In New York, the cable operator has recommended signing up for a month-long free trial of Aereo, which transmits CBS signals to laptops, tablets, mobile devices and computers, for $8 a month. People with a relatively unobstructed view of a TV tower can buy and hook up a digital antenna to catch free over-the-air broadcasts on their own.
Fans of CBS show "Under the Dome" can watch new episodes online four days after their original air date by signing up for Amazon.com's $79-a-year Prime shipping and video service. Amazon Prime video is watchable on computers, mobile devices and through the TV using connected gadgets such as Roku devices or Xbox game consoles.
Other CBS shows such as "Big Brother" are available for free on the CBS mobile app and CBS.com the day after airing, as long as customers are not using an Internet connection provided by Time Warner Cable, because CBS has blocked video to those using an IP address from the cable operator. Live golf coverage will be available on CBSSports.com with the same restriction.
Full replays of the final two rounds will be aired on the CBS Sports Network channel, which was not blocked out.
Cable subscribers looking to work around the Internet blockade can go to a cafe for free Wi-Fi, or run the app using a personal wireless data plan on your cellphone or tablet.
If you're a fan of Showtime shows like "Dexter" and "Ray Donovan" you don't have a legal alternative to get the latest episodes, unless you know someone who gets Showtime from another satellite or cable provider and has room on their couch.
Paul Scoptur, a lawyer in Wauwatosa, Wis., who is suing Time Warner Cable for a similar blackout in southeastern Wisconsin, plans to catch the Green Bay Packers' first preseason game Friday night against Arizona with an awkward workaround.
He'll watch the game on Spanish-language Telemundo with the volume turned down, and listen to the play-by-play — in English — on AM radio.
In a separate fee fight, Time Warner Cable has blacked out Journal Communications Inc.'s NBC affiliate, WTMJ-TV, to cable subscribers in southeastern Wisconsin since July 25.
"I blame Time Warner because that's who my contract is with," said Scoptur. "There's a lot of people situated like myself who are just ticked off."
Daryl Balod, a design consultant in the Dallas suburb of Colleyville, says her family is unlikely to be rigging up cords from laptops to their TV or running coaxial cable from an antenna on their own.
She's surprised the dispute has gone on this long. Her family members are huge sports fans, and avidly watch everything from major golf tournaments to college sports and Cowboys football.
Her family has been subscribing to Time Warner Cable for some nine years, and because they get phone, Internet and TV service, they are among the cable operator's most valuable customers. But rather than cobble together a temporary solution, they're more likely to switch providers, possibly to Verizon, she said.
"We don't want TV-watching to be a complicated activity," Balod said. "We don't want to see if we can find it streaming from somebody else or hooking up a computer or anything like that. We just want to use our remote control."

Christopher Nolan Nearing Dimension-Hopping Time-Travel Film Interstellar
From a script by his brother Jonathan.
Christopher Nolan is looking to one of his favorite screenwriters — his brother Jonathan — for what may be his next directorial gig. A sci-fi film titled Interstellar, the script involves "time travel and alternate dimensions in a story that sees a group of explorers travel through a wormhole," THR reports. The work of astrophysicist, theoretical physicist, and gravitational physicist Kip Thorne informed the screenplay, which doesn't sound wholly un-Inception-y. Jonathan Nolan has writing credits for The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, and The Prestige, wrote the short story which became Memento, and created CBS's J.J. Abrams-produced Person of Interest. Nolan once told Vulture of working with his director bro: "Collaborating with my brother is such a fun thing to do because, in many ways, we have similar minds, having grown up with the same references. I'm the younger brother, so I grew up watching all the hand-me-down VHS cassette tapes of all the films that he loved." Christopher Nolan has reportedly been negotiating to helm Interstellar for months.

"I honestly thought I was going to die," Brittany Taltos said on Monday afternoon.
Brittany Taltos was listening to music through headphones and sunbathing on a yoga mat in the grass of her front yard Sunday afternoon when a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck backed up and rolled partially over her head.
Taltos, 23, was conscious and taken to Shands at the University of Florida under a trauma alert.
"I honestly thought I was going to die," Taltos said on Monday afternoon.
Taltos, a recent graduate of UF, gained notoriety last summer when she and her twin sister, Erica Taltos, made an appearance on the reality show "Jersey Shore" while studying abroad in Italy. The twins also were briefly on ABC's "Bachelor Pad."
After their appearance on "Jersey Shore," University of Florida professor Michael Weigold sent an email to students in the program declaring that any student participating in the show would be dismissed from the program. UF later retracted the statement, saying no action would be taken on students involved with the show.
Taltos was outside the home at 316 NW 14th St. around 2 p.m. when the accident occurred. The impact left a noticeable depression in the lawn, Gainesville Fire Rescue said.
The driver, 20-year-old Taylor Greer of Gainesville, said he heard Taltos scream and drove the truck forward.
Taltos received 15 stitches on the right side of her head. She also has bruises and ear canal damage.
Taltos' roommate Diego Cabrera said Taltos had visible tracks on her face after the incident.
"It was very fortunate she was on softer ground where this occurred or the injuries may have been much worse if not fatal," GFR Lt. Tracey Hidgon said.
Greer was not charged or issued a citation after the incident, though an investigation in the case continues, police said.
Greer said he was backing up to drop off a grill after tailgating when the accident occurred. He brought Taltos flowers to apologize on Sunday night, Taltos said.
Greer said he was grateful when he heard that Taltos' injuries were not as bad as they could have been.
"I was very relieved, very relieved," he said.
Taltos said the experience has given her a new appreciation for life.
"I am in such a good mood today, even though my head is pounding," she said.

That is an excellent definition of a "script kiddie" or at least of their mentalityThe problem is that they get into computers to be something. If these people even had a true interest in technology then a underlying interest would have already made itself present... while this whole obsession with being something simply should not.
Very similar to the old "first kid on the block" with a BMX or a motorcycle or an automobile. The concept that you can buy true success without any real effort on your part? Like you say:
The whole computing environment has evolved and changed. You don't see the malware "for the hell of it" that was around in the past. Rather it is very much targeted on commercial and criminal activity.By now everyone has a computer and everyone has done something cool with them. There is no one left to impress with your false sense of success.
Today's script kiddies are frequently criminals and unscrupulous commercial organisations who hire the technologists to produce their tools, and simply behave as "dumb users".
As a result of of this commercialisation and criminalisation, the lawmakers have upped the ante on the consequences side. That makes it far less attractive for the old style script kiddie mentality, because even a juvenile court sentence hardly makes you look "cool".
The "good old days" are gone and will never return. Like Bill Clinton jokes and floppy disk boot sector viruses, the concept of the "hacker" is obsolete and redundant, unless it is to return to its original Berkeley University meaning.

You can always count on gravity, right? It's a fundamental force of nature. By attracting one body to another, it keeps us from floating into space and allows the moon to power the tides.
But sometimes the rules of gravity don't behave like you'd expect them to.
That's the idea behind "Step Into an Optical Illusion," one of Science Friday's Video Picks of the Week from last year. We really dug the video, and it turns out we're not alone: The film was one of the winners in the Cyberscreen Film Festival, held at the Science Online conference last week. Watch the video below, and make sure to check out the other winners.
Congrats to Flora Lichtman, our Managing Editor of Video. We're pretty sure she creates the best videos seen on radio.

This week Jews around the world celebrated the festival of Shavuot commemorating the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai over 3,500 years ago. As a Jew I believe that there was a divine revelation at Sinai. This revelation, I believe, took place in front of thousands of people.
But here's the problem the believer confronts: If God revels Himself to humankind, why has it only happened once in the course of history?
The answer, I believe, may be found in the following a cryptic verse in Leviticus (9:6): Moses said, "This is the thing the Lord has commanded; do it, and the glory of the Lord will appear to you." Unfortunately, however, the "thing" one must do in order for the glory of God to appear to us is not stated clearly.

FTC Plans To Closely Investigate 25 Patent Trolls To Learn More About Trolling
from the should-be-interesting dept
The proposed study would add significantly to the existing literature and evidence on PAE behavior. Earlier studies have focused primarily on publicly available litigation data and concluded that PAE litigation activity is on the rise. The Commission, however, has unique Congressional authority to collect nonpublic information, such as licensing agreements, patent acquisition information, and cost and revenue data, which will provide a more complete picture of PAE activity.It has an initial list of research questions that it will explore:
- How do PAEs organize their corporate legal structure, including parent and subsidiary entities?
- What types of patents do PAEs hold, and how do they organize their holdings?
- How do PAEs acquire patents, and how do they compensate prior patent owners?
- How do PAEs engage in assertion activity (i.e. demand, litigation, and licensing behavior)?
- What does assertion activity cost PAEs?; and
- What do PAEs earn through assertion activity?

|Summary: Multi-call binary combining many common Unix tools into one executable
BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any small or embedded system. BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind. It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude commands (or features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize your embedded systems. To create a working system, just add /dev, /etc, and a kernel.

The advanced computed tomography scanner will be housed at the East Carolina Heart Institute at ECU. The state Division of Facility Services approved ECU's certificate of need application in late November.
The scanner will enable ECU to further its capabilities to diagnose and plan for appropriate management of cardiovascular disease in one location. The most advanced cardiovascular CT scanner in eastern North Carolina, its precise images will allow doctors to diagnose blockages in arteries without catheterization, an invasive procedure in which a tiny tube is threaded through an artery to give doctors images of blockages.
In North Carolina, cardiovascular disease is responsible for nearly a third of all deaths. The percentage of deaths attributable to cardiovascular disease in eastern North Carolina is 23 percent higher than in the rest of the state.
As new scanners with better imaging capabilities have become available, non-invasive imaging techniques such as CT angiography have substantially replaced catheterization, which carries some risk and costs several thousand dollars. Coronary CT angiography determines whether fatty or calcium deposits have built up in cardiac arteries, which supply blood to the heart muscle. In patients who have symptoms that could indicate heart disease or impending heart attack but no other significant risk factors, CT angiography rules out coronary heart disease with 99 percent accuracy. A procedure typically costs between $1,000 and $1,500.
"You would eliminate the risk and you would cut the cost" compared to catheterization, said Dr. Assad Movahed, professor of cardiovascular sciences at ECU and medical director of the coronary CT program.
ECU's machine will be a Siemens SOMATOM Definition dual-source scanner with added features for heart diagnoses. Renovations for the unit should be completed by the end of April and the unit installed in early May. The scanner should see its first patients in mid-May.
ECU projects performing nearly 800 scans in fiscal year 2010 and increasing to more than 4,000 by fiscal year 2012.
Doctors and scientists will also use the device in research and clinical trials.

Gadgets give granny disease to kids
Arthritis strikes gaming youngsters
Youngsters are increasingly suffering from arthritis-like pains due to their excessive use of games consoles and mobile phones, it has been claimed.
The revelation came from the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR), which holds its annual conference in London this week.
Consultants reckon roughly 90 per cent of British kids around eight years old own at least one games console. With some nippers spending up to seven hours a day playing on their gadgets, EULAR has seen unprecedented numbers of youngsters suffer from pains normally found in elderly patients with chronic rheumatism, The Sun reports.
After treating kids for such symptoms, Dr Gavin Cleary, a consultant from Merseyside's Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust, said: "With increasing numbers of children using gaming devices there should be consideration for statutory health warnings."
Other studies from across the Atlantic come to a similar conclusion: frequent use of games devices and phones cause intense joint pain. Fact.
Perhaps the claims are a bit bleedin' obvious. As someone who blames his unintelligible handwriting and shaky hands on damage sustained through button bashing in various Super Street Fighter editions, I certainly won't dispute them.
There are countless gadgets out there that come with RSI warnings. The Nintendo Wii comes with one to warn users about 'Wii-itis'. Is it a surprise such health advice isn't already present in regular pad-based videogames? What are your views? ®

Setting up a Windows system for building GHC
Installing the following will get you a working build environment with MSYS. The instructions are current for GHC 7.2. An alternatively method for windows is to build GHC, using Cygwin). Using MSYS is the preferred approach though.
- We don't recommend installing anything into a directory path that contains spaces.
- You will need to install the following tools:
- Haskell Platform
- Git
- Python (Version 2.7 is a good choice, we don't support version 3.x at this time)
- You will need to install the MinGW and MSYS tools:
MinGW provides a windows version of GCC while MSYS provides a minimal UNIX environment (e.g bash, make... ect). The website for MinGW is a little confusing, go to the getting started page and follow the download instructions for the 'mingw-get-inst' installer. This is an easy to use single executable for installing both MinGW and MSYS, make sure when you run it that you select to install MSYS and the MSYS Dev Kit.
- Launch the shell by starting the 'MinGW Shell' which should be in your start menu.
- Set your
PATH. We recommend doing this by creating a file
.profilein your home directory (by default
c:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/<username>). The contents of your
.profileshould be something like this:
# Add Git and Python to path export PATH=${PATH}:/c/Git/bin:/c/Python27
Modify the above according to where you installed Git and Python. The Haskell platform installer should have already done the work needed to make GHC available on the path.
- You should now have a working environment for getting the source for GHC and building it!
Disable realtime virus-scanning for your build
Realtime virus scanners are prone to causing weird build failures, typically "permission denied" errors that go away when the build is restarted. The best way to avoid these problems is to exclude the directory containing your GHC build from realtime virus scanning, if your scanner supports excluding particular directories. You probably also want to exclude directories in which temporary files are stored, which by default is
C:/Users/<user>/Local Settings/Temp on Windows Vista and later,
C:/Documents and Settings/<user>/Local Settings/Temp on Windows XP and older, or
Building documentation on Windows
Building GHC's documentation is optional, but in order to build it in Windows you must currently use Cygwin (there isn't a working DocBook toolchain on MSYS as far as we know).
In the Cygwin installer, just install the complete
Doc category. You may have to help
configure a little bit: Set the environment variables
XmllintCmd and
XsltprocCmd to the paths of the Cygwin executables
xmllint and
xsltproc, respectively, and set
fp_cv_dir_docbook_xsl to the path of the directory where the XSL stylesheets are installed, e.g.
If you want to build HTML Help, you have to install the HTML Help SDK, tool, and make sure that
hhc is in your

Hey Hey,
nmap 4.01 was released last night (about 12 hours ago actually)... You can grab it from here - http://www.insecure.org/nmap/download.html
Peace,o Fixed a bug that would cause bogus reverse-DNS resolution on
big-endian machines. Thanks to Doug Hoyte, Seth Miller, Tony Doan,
and Andrew Lutomirsky for helping to debug and patch the problem.
o Fixed an important memory leak in the raw ethernet sending system.
Thanks to Ganga Bhavani (GBhavani(a)everdreamcorp.com) for
identifying the bug and sending a patch.
o Fixed --system-dns option so that --system_dns works too. Error
messages were changed to reflect the former (preferred) name.
Thanks to Sean Swift (sean.swift(a)bradford.gov.uk) and Peter
VanEeckhoutte (Peter.VanEeckhoutte(a)saraleefoodseurope.com) for
reporting the problem.
o Fixed a crash which would report this message:
"NmapOutputTable.cc:143: void NmapOutputTable::addItem(unsigned int,
unsigned int, bool, const char*, int): Assertion `row < numRows'
failed." Thanks to Jake Schneider (Jake.Schneider(a)dynetics.com) for
reporting and helping to debug the problem.
o Whenever Nmap sends packets with the SYN bit set (except for OS
detection), it now includes the maximum segment size (MSS) tcp
option with a value of 1460. This makes it stand out less as almost
all hosts set at least this option. Thanks to Juergen Schmidt
(ju(a)heisec.de) for the suggestion.
o Applied a patch for a Windows interface reading bug in the aDNS
subsystem from Doug Hoyte.
o Minor changes to recognize DragonFly BSD in configure
scripts. Thanks to Joerg Sonnenberger (joerg(a)britannica.bec.de)
for sending the patch.
o Fixed a minor bug in an error message starting with "eth_send of ARP
packet returned". Thanks to J.W. Hoogervorst
(J.W.Hoogervorst(a)uva.nl) for finding this.

Sus cebifrons
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Sus cebifrons Heude, 1888
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Notes:
|This taxon was formerly regarded as a subspecies of Sus philippensis, i.e. S. p. cebifrons, and was not recognized as a full species until in 1997 (Groves 1981, 1991, 1997). Two subspecies are currently recognized, i.e. the nominate form from Cebu (now extinct) and negrinus from Negros; though recent MtDNA studies have indicated the likely addition of a third subspecies from Panay (Tomowo Ozawa pers. comm. and in prep).
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Critically Endangered A2cde ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Meijaard, E., Oliver, W.R.T. & Leus, K.
|Piraccini, R.
Listed as Critically Endangered because it is currently undergoing a drastic population decline, inferred to be more than 80% over a period of three generations (estimated to be about 21 years). This inferred rate of decline is based on the apparent disappearance of several populations, and the effects of over-hunting, habitat loss and hybridization.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This species is endemic to the West Visayan Islands (or Negros-Panay Faunal Region) of the central Philippines, where previously it occurred on Panay, Guimaras, Negros, Cebu, Masbate and (probably) Ticao Islands (Heaney et al. 1998, Grubb 2005, Oliver 1993a, Oliver et al. 1996). It is not known whether S. cebifrons or S. philippensis formerly occurred on the neighbouring island of Siquijor, where wild pigs have also been extirpated, but this species is replaced by S. philippensis on Bohol and all other larger Philippine Islands east of Huxley's Line, except on Mindoro where it is replaced by S. oliveri (Groves 1997, 2001; Oliver 1995, 2001; Oliver et al. 1993). This species has been extirpated from most of its range, and fragmented populations survive today only on Negros, Panay, and possibly Masbate (Oliver 1995).
|Countries occurrence:
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|Sus cebifrons has been eliminated from three of the six islands where it was known or presumed to have occurred formerly; i.e. Cebu (where the species was last reported in 1960s), Guimaras and Ticao Islands. It is also close to extinction, if not already "functionally extinct", on Masbate, where the species was last confirmed in 1993, at which time only a few individuals were reported to survive in one location. Consequently, potentially viable populations now survive only in the last remaining forest fragments on Negros and Panay Islands (collectively comprising ca 6% and >4% of land area, respectively). Though genetic contamination via hybridization with free-ranging domestic or feral pigs has also been confirmed as occurring in most (perhaps all) of these populations (Oliver, 1993a, 1995, 2001).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Originally this species occurred in primary and secondary forest from sea-level to mossy forest at 1,600 m asl. Now it occurs mostly above 800 m asl, as there are relatively few patches of suitable habitat in the lowlands (Heaney et al. 1998). It can persist in some degraded habitats such as cogon grasslands as long as there are areas of dense cover, though there is some evidence to suggest that pigs surviving in largely denuded areas are predominately composed of feral animals of mixed origin (W. Oliver pers. comm).
|Generation Length (years):
|Major Threat(s):
|All of the few remaining populations of these animals are now widely fragmented and declining; both through former widespread commercial logging operations, continued low-level illegal logging and agricultural expansion (particularly slash-and-burn cultivation or "kaingin"), and hunting pressure. The latter continues throughout its remaining range, both by local farmers in hinterland communities and recreational hunters from larger cities. Both of these groups may also sell any surplus meat which usually commands at least twice the price of domestic pork in local markets and speciality restaurants. Efforts to reduce or discourage hunting are unfortunately also often compromised by generally negative attitudes towards these animals, which can cause severe damage to crops planted within or close to existing forest boundaries, and which are therefore regarded as pests and, hence, a legitimate target for hunting activities (Oliver et al. 1993). Unfortunately, this species is also threatened by genetic contamination via hybridization with free-ranging domestic and feral animals of ex-Sus scrofa origin, and hybrids have been confirmed from almost all remaining population sites (Blouch 1995; Oliver 1995, 2001).
|Conservation Actions:
Sus cebifrons is now fully protected by Philippine law, though enforcement of protection measures is generally poor in most areas, including many 'protected areas', owing to lack of resources and other factors. The species occurs in small populations in several 'natural parks', including Mount Canlaon (8,000 ha); North Negros (ca 18,000 ha); Mount Talinis/Lake Balinsasayao (ca 11,000 ha); and the proposed West Panay Mountains Natural Park (ca 70,000 ha). However, the formal declaration of the latter area was eventually stymied by lack of unanimity amongst relevant LGUs and a number of separate, smaller areas have since been declared, though these do not cover all of the most important sites, nor have any of these areas been significantly better protected since declaration owing the absence of any corresponding national budgetary allocations.
The Visayan Warty Pig Conservation Programme (VWPCP) was formally established in 1992 under the aupices of a new Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR, Government of the Philippines) and the Zoological Society of San Diego (ZSSD, USA), to facilitate development and implementation of a wide-range of conservation-related activities. These include wide-ranging surveys and other field research, education awareness campaigns, assistance in the establishment of new protected areas, diverse personnel training and other local capacity-building initiatives. The latter also including assistance in the establishment of three local threatened species rescue and breeding centres (one on Panay and two on Negros) with a view to the establishment of properly structured conservation breeding programmes and, hence, the accession and management of pure-bred founder populations of these animals whilst the opportunity to do still existed. The ensuing breeding programme has since been extended to other breeding centres locally and internationally, and is hoped that this will also enable future reintroductions of these animals to selected sites in Cebu and other islands (Oliver 1993a,b, 2004; Oliver and Wirth 1997; Lorica and Oliver 2007).
Recommended conservation actions include:
1. Enhance management and protection of existing protected areas and/or assist establishment of new 'local conservation areas' (in effect 'municipal reserves') and/or private nature reserves.
2. Reinvestigate the current status of this species on Masbate and develop and implement relevant conservation management recommendations for the enhanced future protection of any remaining native forest habitats and the potential future reintroduction of this (and other West Visayan endemic species) on this island and on Cebu.
3. Implement priority recommendations re. local awareness raising arising from recent, range-wide 'ethnobiological' surveys, revealing both currently low levels of awareness re. local protection legislation and prevalence of 'recreational', 'reprisal' or 'commercial' (rather than 'subsistence') hunting in all key sectors.
4. Conduct (or complete) systematic (including mtDNA) research on intra- and inter-population variation amongst surviving Negros and Panay Island populations.

Chopsticks, Jessica Anthony and Rodrigo Corral
Razorbill, February 2012
Reviewed from Final Copy
Chopsticks is a particularly interesting item from the buzzed-about portion of our contenda list. It's a fascinating format — available digitally and physically — full of arresting visuals and links to outside media. Although there are very few words on each page, the visual elements are all carefully chosen and placed. Analyzing the title feels like it requires a special vocabulary; it's not quite a graphic novel; it feels most like a found scrapbook. [Read more…]
