I don't actually know where anyone else, and I don't have a cellphone to contact people, so I sync up quickly with my friends who live outside of Amsterdam, and then head over to the conference hotel, another NH hotel.
At the registration desk I meet Gina again, we chat a bit about Amsterdam and Europe vs the US. Then I head up to the speaker lounge and get registered and say hi to Vee.
In the lobby I find a certain Larry Wall circling around and decide together with Gina to go out for dinner, we end up in Oriental City where I've had dim sum earlier. Just coming from Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, the food wasn't as exciting but nevertheless it was good, and the company was excellent.
And oddity I did mention is that they use portable two way radios, which I find hilarious. We gave those up 15 years ago and actually use cellphones. Even the military mostly uses cellphones and text messaging these days!
Went to bed early.

Why don't we have RFID tags in all clothes that tell the washing machine HOW to wash the clothes instead of having to magically try different settings all the time!?
Or at least force all washing clothes UI designers to have to use their own designs.
So on the 19th of July, I will fly to Ottawa via Chicago from Stockholm for the Ottawa Linux Symposium. I am staying the conference hotel together with Mr Duncan.
On the 25th of July After the conference ends we will fly down to Portland via Chicago and arrive on the evening of that sunday.
5 days of OSCON!
Fly home on the 29th of July to Stockholm for another 8 days of holiday before I start working again back in London.
If anyone wants to meet up in Ottawa, please drop me an email!

The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association has finalized its 2014-16 reclassification numbers and it looks like Wesco will have a new look for the next two years.
According to Marysville School District athletic director Greg Erickson, Wesco 4A will be a single eight-team league while Wesco 3A will become a large 13-team league with two divisions featuring one 2A team in Shorecrest. The Scots didn't opt up to 3A after coming in just under the cap and will compete in the 2A classification next season.
The biggest names moving down to 3A are Edmonds-Woodway and Arlington. The Warriors haven't been 3A since 1998-99, two years after the inception of the 4A classification, and the Eagles haven't been in 3A since 2007-08. Lynnwood will also be re-joining 3A after jumping to 4A in the last cycle.
The three schools join the 10-team Wesco 3A. Erickson said league athletic directors will discuss divisions for Wesco 3A at a league meeting today. A best guess for the breakdown of division would be Arlington joining Everett, the two Marysville schools, Oak Harbor and Stanwood in the North, and Edmonds-Woodway and Lynnwood joinging Glacier Peak, the two Shoreline schools, and the other two Edmonds School District schools, Meadowdale and Mountlake Terrace, in the South.
No Wesco teams moved up to the 4A classification, dropping Wesco 4A from 11 teams to eight. Those eight teams are Cascade, Jackson, Kamiak, Lake Stevens, Mariner, Monroe, Mount Vernon, Snohomish.
Early indications had Marysville Getchell and Glacier Peak on the brink of moving up to 4A. But the Chargers will remain in 3A and keep its intra-city rivalry with Marysville Pilchuck alive and well. The Grizzlies, meanwhile, will remain in 3A and not unite with its rival Snohomish in Wesco 4A.
In the Cascade Conference the general structure remains the same, but it looks like Sultan moves to 1A.
The new classification figures will be used for two seasons with another reclassification occuring prior to the 2016-17 season.

Summaries of EU Legislation
Summaries of EU legislation: direct access to the main summaries page.
Social and economic integration of Roma
The Roma community is the largest ethnic minority in Europe. It represents between 10 and 12 million extremely marginalised people. The Commission proposes to improve the effectiveness of instruments aimed at the socio-economic integration of Roma through a long-term approach and multisectoral actions (education, employment, health, housing, etc.).
Communication from the Commission to the Council, the European Parliament, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions of 7 April 2010 – The social and economic integration of the Roma in Europe [COM(2010) 133 final – Not published in the Official Journal].
The Commission presents a strategy which is to improve the economic and social integration of Roma in the European Union (EU). This action shall also be carried out in those countries involved in the EU enlargement process.
Improving the impact of existing policies
The EU has a set of legal instruments for combating discrimination (the Charter of Fundamental Rights, and legislation on non-discrimination and the free movement of persons), as well as funding to encourage social cohesion (the Structural Funds and the Instrument for pre-Accession Assistance (IAP)).
Instruments also exist at international and national levels. The Council of Europe and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) have adopted initiatives for this purpose. Countries involved in the Decade of Roma Inclusion 2005-2015 initiative have also adopted national action plans.
The Commission states that all existing initiatives must be:
- better coordinated;
- implemented better at local level;
- accompanied by awareness-raising actions for Roma communities and the Roma population as a whole;
- guided by desegregation policies;
- included in more general policy strategies, such as those for education, employment, health and territorial development.
Improving the implementation of actions
European financial instruments are not optimised due to their complexity. The Commission shall therefore provide measures for technical assistance. In addition, existing resources shall be increased.
The Commission supports multisectoral, national and European strategies for tackling the marginalisation of Roma communities. It also encourages the participation of communities in developing and implementing strategies.
Adapting public policies
All relevant European and national policies shall contribute to the integration of the Roma. National public authorities shall exchange experiences, particularly through the EURoma Network.
In particular, the Commission shall:
- organise meetings between the public authorities in EU countries;
- support the creation of an academic network on Roma studies;
- improve coordination between the structural funds and adapt the next generation of structural funds and programmes accordingly;
- take account of the inclusion of Roma under the framework of the Europe 2020 Strategy and the "European Platform against Poverty", in particular;
- encourage mutual learning in the area of employment;
- take account of the inclusion of Roma in the enlargement process.
Improving policy coherence
In order to encourage coherent action and stakeholder responsibility, specifically the Commission shall:
- support the development of the European Platform for Roma Inclusion;
- assess policy implementation;
- enable the Roma to access the political process.
Developing model intervention approaches
The Commission proposes to draft integration strategies adapted to the specific nature of each Roma community. This relates to situations where Roma communities:
- live in urban districts close to other disadvantaged communities;
- live in disadvantaged districts or rural settlements;
- are mobile with citizenship of an EU country;
- are mobile or sedentary with citizenship of a non-EU country (they may be refugees, stateless persons or asylum seekers).
Intervention approaches shall be developed to respond to core socio-economic needs, such as employment and self-employment, education, housing and health. They shall help to define types of funding, legislative tools and the role of each stakeholder involved.
This Communication forms part of the Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. It is published in preparation for the 2nd European Roma Summit.

Can anyone tell me whats going on with my oak tree? photo one is today photo two was taken three weeks ago
This is the sort of symptom you get when a tree/shrub gets dry, then (having been watered) just about recovers.
When put under stress from shortage of water, plants take action to conserve it - the most obvious of which is wilting the leaves (which are expendable to some extent). After slight wilting, leaves can recover fully (actually, with some species, it is remarkable how they can recover fully depite looking very shrivelled). In general, after extended wilting, peripheral leaf cells will die. That's what you're seeing here.
Plants in pots are particularly susceptible. That's partly just because there is not much volume of soil to provide a reservoir of water. But a black pot in the sun will dry out even quicker because the plant demands more water, and also the pot gets hot and hence the soil gets hot. Hot soil can kill roots - leaving fewer roots to such up water next time (hopefully) it is given. Also, if soil dries out, it often leaves a crack between the soil and the side of the pot - so next time it is watered, there's a tendency for the water to run out the bottom before it has soaked the soil. that's especially a problem with peaty soils.
...So, I would advise: for any pot plant intended to be planted out:
- keep it out of full sun, or at least put the pot inside another one (that keeps the inner one cooler)
- use a saucer (that helps alleviate the problem of the pot-soil crack mentioned above)
- consider using a larger pot (though there are risks in over-potting)
With trees started in pots, don't leave it too long before planting in their permanent positions. That's because it is very easy for a tree's roots to get contorted into swirls/balls, and if planted out like that, it can lead to poor stability in winds in subsequent years. Teasing the roots out doesn't help that much, because the worst-affected roots will probably be too stiff to straighten without damage.
In addition to Mike's great advice always plant a young tree in square hole as this can counter any ball formation

The developers of Carmageddon: Reincarnation, who surpassed their funding goal with $600K this summer, are looking into console versions.
At Eurogamer Expo, Stainless Games' Neil Barnden and Patrick Buckland talked to Explosion about possible PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 editions.
"We really want to get it out on consoles as well," said Buckland. "It depends on additional funding, but we're working on that anyway. So we're hopeful it can happen around the same time as the PC version."
"It's not like we completely have to re-do all the work to bring them to consoles," said Barnden. "A lot of the technology is already there to take it to other platforms. We're hoping that we can bring it out sooner rather than later."
Buckland added that if all goes well, they could make an announcement about it later this year.

Aiite!!!! Copeland made the team
Bigmen Frontcourt
and bigman-coach Rasheed
what stand out the most to me about this guy is his CONFIDENCE on offense, that's a big thing, especially in a knicks team with injuries and less offense options
He can be a solid role player if he brings consistency on both ends of the floor....he just has to grab some more boards but he is better than Amare alteast on the boards...everyone is better than Amare with defense and rebounding lol
Glad he made the team and I expected him to.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Cope definitely proved he can play with the big boys, make shots under contact, play the pick and roll. Well deserved pick, he worked for it. Work hard for the Knicks big fella, we need you!
Signature created by AmareforPresident
Congrats Cope...well deserved. I think he'll be a very good bench player
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Congrats to Cope. He deserved it. I like him. Played very well during SL & pre-season. He's skilled offensively -- I don't even think we've seen him at his best yet. He's gonna help us.
Still don't know why we're infatuated with James White as a 2G. There continue to be better options out there. Chris Douglas-Roberts was cut by the Lakers and immediately scooped up by Cuban in Dallas. James Anderson was just cut by Atlanta. Christian Eyengna, Terrance Williams, Jerel McNeal, Jermaine Taylor -- all better than James White in my book and all currently available. We should be in on these guys. They act like they're married to White for some reason because they gave him a little guaranteed money.. Big deal. Who cares? Wasn't a lot of money, man..The point should be to get better players & upgrades if & when they become available.. I just don't get it.
I'm glad. Hopefully we continue to see the pick n' rolls between him and Prigioni. Excellent addition.

Good deal, glad we kept him. Also agree with finestrg that we could do better at the 2 guard, need a better shooter than White imo.

Emerging Research
The Role of C-TPAT in Preventing Supply Chain Disruptions
Dr. Santosh Mahapatra is currently engaged in examining the impacts of C-TPAT (Customs and Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) on supply chain performance. C-TPAT is a voluntary compliance program that allows firms to manage the security proactively to avoid what competitive firms with a complex supply chains dread the most: disruption, delay and demurrage.
From the C-TPAT perspective, notes Dr. Mahapatra, a supply chain is defined "from the point of origin (manufacturer/supplier/vendor) to the point of distribution."
"C-TPAT involves a series of measures that require a firm to reactively engage in inspection, surveillance, auditing, monitoring and tracking, resulting in significant expense of money and employee hours," says Dr. Mahapatra of the voluntary initiative. "Yet despite the costs, implementation of C-TPAT leads to several direct and indirect benefits that justify the expenses," he notes. For example, the benefits often include lead-time reduction, less inventory, less pilferage, etc. because of significant reduction in time consuming, expensive inspections at borders. "These benefits are more than just avoiding supply chain disruption due to a security event," he adds.
Mahapatra joined the Clarkson School of Business faculty in 2006 as an assistant professor in the GSCM program after completing his Ph.D. at Michigan State University. His primary research interests encompass optimal sourcing strategy under price uncertainty, strategic sourcing, governance mechanisms, supplier development for superior performance, and buyer-supplier relationship management. Mahapatra has been published in many journals during his time at Clarkson, including Decision Sciences Journal, Industrial Marketing Management, International Journal of Productivity and Quality Management, and Journal of Business Logistics.

Perhaps schools should have a gun safe only accessible by the principal or vice-principal, that has a 12 gauge pump shotgun loaded with rubber shot - the kind used for crowd control. It's generally non-lethal, but will still knock the hell out of some assailant. But if you miss, you are far less likely to kill an innocent bystander.
If the bystander in Oregon who did have a concealed weapon had rubber bullets, perhaps he would have tried to stop the maniac. I understand the hesitation in our sue happy society. If you take a shot at the nutcase who is shooting everyone and you get him, but also bring down an innocent, you'll probably be arrested for voluntary manslaughter and sued by the innocent.
The morality of the day is "protect your own ass; every man for himself." But since schools are government run, all kinds of legal protection are available stemming from sovereign immunity. Train those administrators in the ways of Rambo. Hell, if Rambo was the principal, kids would do more work anyway. Maybe that's the answer - only hire principals who are ex-special forces. And play the Green Beret song every morning over the loudspeaker.

OpenStack is the platform upon which Rackspace has built its open cloud. The community-driven cloud operating system, which Rackspace co-founded, has sparked an open source cloud revolution. Enabling the community of hundreds of developers to contribute code and leverage the OpenStack cloud however they want has created a shift in how applications are developed. This blog series collects insight straight from key developers on the front lines about how they became involved in OpenStack and the open cloud, and what contributions they've made.
In this installment, Red Hat Principal Software Engineer Mark McLoughlin discusses what drew him to OpenStack and open source and what he's done to contribute to the open cloud.
Tell us about yourself.
I'm a 32-year-old Irishman, living by the sea in Dublin, Ireland and working remotely for Red Hat. I've been with Red Hat for eight years now, originally working on the GNOME desktop before working on all things virtualization – i.e. xen, kvm, qemu, libvirt and RHEV. Outside of work, I'm married to a tax lawyer and we have an 18-month-old daughter. I'm into the likes of sailboat racing, hiking and running.
Why did you become involved in OpenStack?
I had been watching OpenStack since it was first announced and was convinced that the project and its community were on track to make a massive impact in the cloud space. I saw OpenStack as an umbrella under which developers on independent projects work together on a regular release cycle — a large and diverse community of contributors; design and development done in the open, warts and all. All of these things give a project great strength and confidence that it will stick around to solve these big problems we're tackling. In that sense, OpenStack looks an awful lot like the GNOME project that I'd known so well. I think it's an excellent model for organizing a project. I was keen to be involved and help make it a success.
Given that Red Hat's mission is all about being "the catalyst in communities of contributors" and that, technically, the project was well aligned with Red Hat, I felt that Red Hat really had no right not being involved with the project. Thankfully others at Red Hat felt the same way.
Tell us about your specific contributions to an OpenStack project (i.e. what the code was and what it did).
I've deliberately chosen to work on aspects of OpenStack that I felt were important to the long-term health of the project. These types of things are never very sexy, but I do feel they've been useful contributions. Out of the core projects, I've concentrated mostly on Nova [OpenStack Compute], fixing relatively small issues and reviewing patches in gerrit. I try to put aside a good part of my time for patch review because it's very important that peoples' contributions are both appreciated and reviewed thoroughly.
I guess my biggest single contribution to date is the cfg module, which brings together command line parsing and config file parsing. The idea here was that there was a divergence between core projects on how to handle configuration options and we would greatly benefit from sharing common code and patterns between the projects. I remember — at the Essex Design Summit — Vish [Ishaya, former OpenStack Compute Project Technical Lead] talking about this issue and basically warning people away from it in the short term because it was going to be especially painful to sort out. I guess I took that to mean it would be an interesting challenge and just dug into it. In the end, coding the cfg module wasn't such a big deal, but doing the work to get the core projects to adopt it (and adopt common usage idioms for it) turned out to be a long and protracted slog. However, the cfg module is only part of the openstack-common effort which Jason Kölker [Rackspace OpenStack Developer] and I started early this year. We — and a bunch of others — have been gradually working to consolidate much of the code copied and pasted between core OpenStack projects into a common library. You can think of this as repaying some of the technical debt the project incurred in its early days.
Another effort I started was the maintenance of a stable branch and releasing of point releases in parallel with our development stream. The idea here is that OpenStack distributors and operators need a "safe source of fixes for high-impact, user-visible bugs." I think this is really important for any successful project and it looks like many have appreciated the effort with the Diablo and Essex branches and the 2011.3.1 and 2012.1.1 releases.
How does OpenStack change your approach to cloud development?
OpenStack has really opened my eyes to a distinction that I previously would have been happy to see waved away. That is the distinction between data center virtualization and large scale, self-service, on-demand, pay-as-you-go cloud. The term "cloud" long ago lost any real meaning. Is it valid to call a virtualized a cloud? Probably not. But how about if you put a self-service portal in front of it and maybe implement chargeback? That's looking more like a valid cloud, but does it really have all the benefits people are seeing from the public cloud?
I'm now thinking in terms of a distinction between "Amazon-style cloud" (with apologies to our friends at Rackspace) and data center virtualization. In the former you typically run horizontally scalable, fault tolerant applications; whereas the latter is more concerned about legacy workloads which usually have serious high availability requirements. In the latter, policy-based live migration is a key requirement, whereas in the former it depends on the SLA vs. cost tradeoff you wish to make as a cloud provider.
I see one of the strengths of OpenStack as its focus on "Amazon-style cloud" and I hope — at least in the medium term — we maintain that focus and avoid chasing the data center virtualization space. We have a massive amount of work to do even on this more constrained problem, so the last thing we need to do is broaden the problem space we're tackling. I thought Chris Kemp [NASA developer, OpenStack co-founder and CEO and founder of Nebula Inc.] did a great job of making this point during his keynote at the Folsom Design Summit. He basically implored the community to not go after the VMware space.
What are some of the benefits of an open collaboration effort among so many companies sharing open source code, like OpenStack?
Wow, what a question.
I first had exposure to open development many moons ago as an intern at Intel where a mentor introduced me to what was going on in the Linux kernel community. I was truly overwhelmed by the level and diversity of the activity going on. All these cool people from all over the world, from lots of different companies or no company at all, were building this massively complex piece of software bit-by-bit and, apparently, doing an excellent job of it. That model made immediate sense to me, but it's difficult to put into words exactly why.
Software development sucks. I think we're all conscious that we must be in some sort of Stone Age of software development. Given the complexity, and the tools we have for dealing with that complexity, the fact that these systems we're building work at all is a miracle. Some people have traditionally chosen to address that with massive amounts of bureaucracy and process, with top-down design done upfront and strict control by a phalanx of managers.
That traditional model has produced some great technology but it's costly, doesn't guarantee success and certainly is no fun. You can see from the Agile movement that software developers know there is a better way. Open development is another attempt to "uncover better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it." Indeed, if you compare the "Principles behind the Agile Manifesto" to the values that many large, successful open source projects are built around, it's very easy to see they have much in common.
All of this is a roundabout way of saying that open development is one proven model for building great technology. It's a model where you put self-organizing teams in the driving seat, where you value craftsmanship, where you trade control for innovation and where the best ideas win.
Thank you, Mark, for your contributions to OpenStack and the open cloud.
Are you a developer contributing to OpenStack? We'd love to hear more about what you're doing and why. Leave a comment here or contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com

change in estimates in shipments for Eee netbooks is the iPad which
starts at $499. The iPad is selling just about as fast as Apple can
make them and the company is still having a hard time sourcing enough
components like screens to meet the high demand for the iPad.
CEO Jerry Shen reminded investors and analysts during the claim that
ASUS would be competing with Apple soon with tablet
offerings including one with Android as the OS selling for
$399 and an Eee Pad selling for $1,000 running Windows 7.
Electronista reports
that Apple has outsold the combined spring and summer sales of Eee
netbooks with the iPad with 3.72 million iPads shipped. Apple is
currently making
over 2.3 million iPads each month and is still hard pressed
to meet demand. The real sticking point for ASUS with its iPad
competitors is that they won't hit the market until December at the
earliest compounding the lead Apple is enjoying with the iPad.The
decline in shipments for Eee netbooks is also partly due to the
overall decline in demand for netbooks across the market as the
netbook segment matures. Tablets are the new big thing for many
consumers and there are many people waiting for an Android tablet to

Playing Catch-Up
Well, I had slacked off in my haiku game coverage, but I didn't want to give up my goal of actually writing a haiku about every game this season, so today I went back to early May and wrote 27 haikus! Admittedly, some of them are lame. Just look at Stephen King – when you're that prolific, not every book is going to be The Stand. There will be a few Tommyknockers.
This will be a big baseball week for me. I'm going to the games at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday and Wednesday, and I'll be seeing the Cardinals in Phoenix on Saturday. That will be my first trip to Chase Field – exciting! Look for pics and reports coming soon.

Phonological disorder is a type of speech disorder known as an articulation disorder.
Children with phonological disorder do not use some or all of the speech sounds expected for their age group.
Articulation disorder; Developmental articulation disorder; Speech distortion; Sound distortion; Speech disorder - phonological
This disorder is more common in boys.
The cause in children is often unknown. Close relatives may have had speech and language problems. Other risk factors may include poverty and coming from a large family.
Phonological disorders may also be caused by:
In a child developing normal speech patterns:
Children with phonological disorder have:
These errors may make it hard for other people to understand the child. Only family members may be able to understand a child who has a more severe phonological speech disorder.
Children should be examined for disorders such as:
The health care provider should ask about issues, such as whether more than one language or a certain dialect is spoken at home.
Milder forms of this disorder may disappear on their own by around age 6.
Speech therapy may help for more severe symptoms or speech problems that don't get better. Therapy may help the child create the sound, for example, by showing where to place the tongue or how to form the lips when making a sound.
The outcome depends on the age at which the disorder started, and how severe it is. Many children eventually develop almost normal speech.
In severe cases, the child may have problems being understood even by family members. In milder forms, the child may have difficulty being understood by people outside the immediate family. Problems with social interaction and academic performance may occur as a result.

Discussion in 'Strings' started by audioboy, Mar 20, 2013.
What tension do you recommend for Technifibre Black Code in Head Youtek Prestige MP?
42 lbs..................
Are you joking???
No...42 is perfect
When in doubt 54-58lbs for any midplus racquet. Personally never tried black code, strung it for a friend at 59lbs in his Pure Drive Plus, really liked it at that tension.
A pure drive plus? Dude.
My friend likes his babolat, let him have it.
Personally I'm a thin box beam midsize guy myself.
He speak truth! I've recently bumped my tension down to 49/47 using 4G. I suspect any poly works better, nay much better at lower tensions. The ball pocketing is sublime!
I'm liking Bc 17 at 48 lbs in my 100 sq in 16x19 APD, so 42 lbs in a prestige seems comparable.
True story! Love the string at that tension on tight patterns.
Some still freak out when they hear 42 lbs for poly. Jack Sock plays all poly at 38 lbs in mid+ and has a much faster swingspeed than anyone on TT. Daniel Nestor is playing natural gut mains/poly crosses at 40/38 lbs, and he too has a much faster swingspeed than anyone here.
I play multi mains in the 50-54 range with TF RuffCode poly cross -4 lbs below mains. 52/48 works well.
Try BC around 48/46 and adjust up or down until you reach nirvana. Full poly at 48/46 will play plenty firm and generate loads of spin.
Thank´s guys for the tips. I´m using now 59 lbs (my friends suggestion) and it really feels a bit hard. Next time I`ll put much less and try find the right tension (and nirvana) for me
This thread reminds me of this
Separate names with a comma.

"First ask yourself: What is the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then proceed to improve on the worst."
"Self-acceptance comes from meeting life's challenges vigorously. Don't numb yourself to your trials and difficulties, nor build mental walls to exclude pain from your life. You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory."
"The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen."
"When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others."
"As you become more clear about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you - the first time around."
"A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow."
"There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout:
This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.
When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you."

Two year ban for SA cycling champion
05 Dec 2012 14:31 | Sapa
This according to the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sport (SAIDS).
"George waived his right to attend his hearing, which went ahead anyway on December 1," SAIDS chief executive Khalid Galant said in a statement.
"He admitted guilt prior to the hearing and preferred the sanction to be determined as soon as possible. The athlete has the right to waive his participation in a hearing without prejudice."
George tested positive in an out-of-competition test conducted by the SAIDS on August 29.
He is a former Olympian, a podium finisher in the Cape Epic, and a former Lance Armstrong team-mate on the United States Postal Service Cycling team 1999 to 2000.
The hearing was conducted by an independent tribunal.
Forfeited prize money
"In addition to the ban, any points or prize money obtained after the August 29 is forfeited and monies have to be repaid," Galant said. "Money has to be repaid to race organisers of the Cape Pioneer Trek MTB race, which David George and Kevin Evans won after August 29 and results will have to be re-issued."
George and Evans won a total of R125 000 during this year's race Cape Pioneer Trek MTB race which would have to be repaid to the organisers.
Galant said George had claimed his EPO doping was isolated to himself and he could not provide SAIDS with information in terms of an infrastructure of doping.
Therefore, he received the standard two-year ban, as there were no grounds for a reduction in the sanction. However, Galant said George had committed to assist SAIDS in its test planning so that its target testing could be more robust in addressing doping in endurance sport.
"As a former professional cyclist, he provides a unique lens into how our test distribution planning can mitigate against high doping risk periods and what is going through the minds of athletes when they attempt to beat the system," he said. "We welcome this commitment from George as part of attempt to atone for the doping offence to the cycling community."
Vigorous drug testing
SAIDS warned the sports community a year ago it would be vigorous in its testing of both the blood and urine of South Africa's top athletes.
"We will continue to aggressively target EPO dopers and we will be increasing 'out of competition' testing of cyclists for EPO, a hormone that artificially increases the red blood cell count, therefore increasing the athlete's oxygen carrying capacity, and in turn enhances performance," Galant said.
He warned that the institute would increase the quantity of testing, not only for cycling but also to other endurance sports like triathlon, running and canoeing. – Sapa

Hans Zimmer 'Might Not Feel Right' Scoring 'Batman Vs. Superman'
- By
- 57 Comments
For Man of Steel, Hans Zimmer took on the task that many Hollywood composers would outright refuse: attempt to craft a Superman score that would somehow be able to stand outside of John Williams' iconic shadow. His solution was to work with director Zack Snyder to craft something not better, but different.
The new Superman theme gave many goosebumps, but it seems that Zimmer is in no hurry to sign on for the sequel, Batman vs. Superman. In a recent interview, the composer explains why he's unsure, and why a return to Batman "might not feel right."
This news is anything but a bombshell, since Hans Zimmer isn't exactly in need of work, and made it clear from the very first announcement that the dark knight would appear in a Man of Steel sequel that he "thought he was done with Batman." For his part, Zimmer has supported the decision to cast Ben Affleck as a new caped crusader, but has maintained that a second crack at Batman's music isn't something he's aching to take part in.
It's safe to say that for an entire generation, Zimmer has brought a new level of drama, suspense, and quality to Batman's onscreen appearances, supplying the score for every one of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight pictures. With that still fresh in his memory, Zimmer explains to Vulture that he has serious reservations, and at this point is leaning towards not revisiting Batman, in whatever film he may appear:
"Honestly, I'm just sort of grappling with that right now… Quite seriously, the thought right now is that no, I don't want to go and take what I did with Chris and just plonk it into another movie. There isn't one good reason to do it, and there are so many good reasons not to do it."
Besides supporting director Chris Nolan and Christian Bale in their belief that "three Batman films were enough," Zimmer's comments make a strong case for why a new Batman – specifically set in the far more optimistic, hopeful world created by Zack Snyder – should be left to a new composer.
That being said, Zimmer has the luxury of choosing whichever projects he wishes. And after a strong experience working with Zack Snyder on Man of Steel, there may be reason to hope that Zimmer will bring a completely different take to Batman in the upcoming sequel. But much of that depends on the direction Snyder wishes to take Bruce Wayne; and while Batman vs. Superman production may be progressing faster than some might expect, it seems Zimmer has yet to even meet with Snyder about continuing their relationship:
"I really enjoyed working with Zack Snyder, so part of it would be a personal decision… At the same time, I wouldn't want to put the ideas I used in the Chris Nolan Batman movies into a Superman movie. It just wouldn't feel right.
"I'm a procrastinator, and right now, I don't want to make a decision… Zack hasn't talked to me about it, so I don't have to worry about it! I'll worry about it when I have to worry about it, and then, if I'm lucky, I'll have an idea. If I have an idea, I can do something with that, but if I don't have an idea, then my good idea is going to be, 'Get somebody else.'"
At this point, the overwhelming evidence seems to support the idea that Snyder and screenwriter David S. Goyer's idea for a new Batman in a Man of Steel universe is very different than Christian Bale's. Ben Affleck explained that was mainly the reason he accepted the role, so if Snyder is as good at making a story pitch as that would imply, that same pitch might just be able to get Zimmer's creative juices flowing.
We'll have to wait and see, but if we're honest, having another composer step into Zimmer's role would be a bit of a disappointment. His scores are some of the most iconic in recent memory, and the idea of having him shape the sounds of a Superman trilogy is too tempting to pass up. Hopefully, he'll feel the same way.
What do you think of Zimmer's comments? Do you respect his desire to do something completely different, or pass the job to someone who can? Or is a bit of distance between the Man of Steel films and The Dark Knight a good thing? Share your thoughts in the comments.
Man of Steel 2/Batman vs. Superman will hit theaters July 17, 2015.

Guinness Takes the Cake
Every once in a while it's nice to have a little indulgence in life. This weekend, I made a decadent chocolate-stout cake to celebrate the start of the new year. The addition of Guinness creates an incredibly moist cake with a delicious, bittersweet aftertaste. For chocoholics, the cake is absolutely heavenly!
To balance the dense richness, I served each slice with a dollop of vanilla ice cream. Whipped cream would also be lovely on the side. The original recipe calls for three, 8-inch cake pans, but I own 9-inch pans, so I halved the recipe and made a two-layer cake. To satisfy your chocolate craving,
Chocolate Stout Cake
- Cake
- 1 cup stout (such as Guinness)
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-process)
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons sour cream
- Icing
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1/2 pound bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
- For cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans. Line with parchment paper. Butter paper.
- Bring the stout and butter to simmer in heavy large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add cocoa powder to the stout and butter mixture. Whisk until mixture is smooth. Cool slightly.
- Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in large bowl to blend.
- Using electric mixer, beat eggs and sour cream in another large bowl to blend. Add stout-chocolate mixture to egg mixture and beat just to combine.
- Slowly Add flour mixture to the chocolate and egg mixture. Beat briefly on slow speed. Using rubber spatula, fold batter until completely combined. Divide batter equally among prepared pans. Bake cakes until tester inserted into center of cakes comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
- Transfer cakes to rack; cool 10 minutes. Turn cakes out onto rack and cool completely.
- For icing: Bring cream to simmer in heavy medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Add chopped chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Refrigerate until icing is spreadable, stirring frequently, about 2 hours.
- Place 1 cake layer on plate. Spread icing over. Top with second cake layer. Spread remaining icing over top and sides of cake. Cut and enjoy.
Serves 12.

PSCU Renews Commitment to Filene
PSCU has renewed its commitment to the Filene Research Institute as one of the credit union industry think tank's four Filene Chairman's Benefactor members for 2013.
Filene declined to say how much the Florida-based payments CUSO was committing but the institute's website lists a Chairman's Roundtable level of $249,999 over a three-year period.
"The Filene Research Institute brings fresh energy and ideas to the credit union system," said PSCU President/CEO Michael Kelly. "PSCU looks for partners that share our vision of empowering credit unions to compete and prosper. Filene exemplifies that spirit, and PSCU is proud to support the Institute."
Mark Meyer, CEO at Filene in Madison, Wis., said, "In 2004 PSC stepped up to become a Chairman's Benefactor to support Filene's innovation work, including the i3 program and many of the most interesting ideas that have emerged from it. Even in the face of the Great Recession, PSCU maintained its strong support."
Filene said PSCU's is one of the institute's three top overall donors in the institution's history.

DETROIT - An assistant basketball coach at Detroit's Martin Luther King, Jr. High school has been released from police custody after a deadly shooting in the school's parking lot on Friday.
Assistant girl's basketball coach Ernest Robinson said two teens tried to rob him and two girls at gun point outside the school.
Robinson then opened fire shooting both the teens. Michael Scott, 16, died from his wounds and the other teen remains in serious condition in the hospital.
Family members say they are still in shock from the entire ordeal.
"This is still unreal to me. I can't believe that this has happened," said Calvin Stingall, Scott's older brother.
Court records show Scott was slated to go to trial in March for allegedly being one of two people behind an armed robbery at a Jet's Pizza on East Jefferson Street the day after Christmas.
Scott's mother had also told Local 4 that he was a junior at Martin Luther King, Junior high school, but DPS told Local 4 that at the time of the shooting the teen was not enrolled at any school in the district.
Family members say Scott had recently been hanging out with a new group of friends that may have led him down a wrong path.
"Everyone, I notice over time, gets in with the wrong crowd, and gets around different people. I think recently he may have been," said Stingall.
Investigators told Local 4 that the school is equipped with surveillance cameras and that will play an important role in the investigation.
Right now Robinson has not been charged in the crime.

Dedicated bridesmaid Lucy Morris walked her sister down the aisle – despite having been in labour for hours.
Primary school teacher Lucy, aged 29, woke in the early hours of the big day with contractions - but put on a brave face and didn't tell bride Emma Rotherham.
Her cramps became more intense throughout the day, but she winced her way down the aisle and even posed for photos afterwards.
It was only at the reception her contractions became so painful she had to be taken to hospital, where she gave birth to baby Izzy.
Brave Lucy - who was a week overdue - said: "I wanted to watch my sister say 'I do' and I didn't want to steal the limelight by giving birth.
"My due date was a week before the wedding so we always knew it was going to be close, but I never imagined I'd go into labour while walking down the aisle!
"I don't know how I made it through the ceremony, I was in agony. I just kept praying my waters wouldn't break before they exchanged their vows."
Lucy was chief bridesmaid for her 26-year-old sister Emma's wedding to Dan Bowker, 27.
The ceremony was held in front of 100 guests at Sacred Heart Church in Doncaster with the reception at the Holiday Inn in Doncaster.
Lucy, who is married to David, 29, and lives in Bradford, said: "I was halfway through my first mouthful of food at the reception when the contractions got deeper and longer. I was struggling to breathe."
Her mother drove her to Doncaster Royal Infirmary and Izzy - now nine weeks old - was born 13 hours later after a long labour.
Emma, a hotel team leader, said: "This was only ever going to be a double celebration, not something taking shine away from the wedding.
"My day was perfect, and having my sister there to share the majority of it was all I could have hoped for.
"I love the fact Lucy left during the wedding breakfast to cheers. It was so exciting. We will share this special memory forever."

text: Indeed, the transporter is one of the few Star Trek concepts that showcases the limitations of our caveman brains - and quite accidentally at that, as this thought-provoking technology was a last-minute addition to the show's concept. Warp drives and death rays may invoke their own little tempests in scientific teacups, but it takes some doing to see the philosophical implications of those. With the transporter, the ontological oddities slap us in the face. ...I wonder what sort of statistics LaForge was referring to when assuring Barclay that transporting was the safest way to travel. Accidents per kilometer? That's a classic way to evaluate traffic safety, since covering distances is a typical purpose for traffic. Thus, air traffic today gets high marks. But transporters generally probably see very short distance use, from spot A on Earth to relatively nearby spot B also on Earth, even if Starfleet sometimes uses them at ranges of tens of thousands of kilometers. Transporters would be ideal for commuting, removing the vehicle from the equation and thus decreasing congestion and serviceability problems. Accidents per person? There are more people in the UFP than on Earth, but we have no good idea whether a greater or lesser percentage of UFP citizens use the transporter than Earthlings today use, say, a car or a plane. So, accidents per person actually using the device? Transporters have fewer modes for killing non-users, the way cars kill bystanders, so this sort of comparison is sort of unfair. Timo Saloniemi

My DH just sold his late mother's house. He was walking through to make sure it was empty, opened a closet and found a bag. When he opened the bag, this quilt was in the bag! I don't know how we missed it.
His grandma was a quilter. He says he is pretty sure she made it with the help of his babysitter (she was 80 something years old) in the 50's.
I know that one square contains fabric from his baby blanket. He is 55.
There is no label :cry: I wish I knew more about it.
The quilt is 82x102 and all hand quilted. The quilting in the boarder looks almost like a bowtie.
Any help you can give dating it or the pattern would be much appreciated.
Please label your quilts.

The worst part of guild membership is, by far, watching a guild die. I've seen guilds die from poor recruiting practices, internal drama, and, in one memorable case, a disgruntled member with /gkick privileges. But the most painful death I ever saw was that of a large casual raiding guild in which I was an officer. We weren't very good, and we never progressed far, mostly because anyone decent in our guild was immediately recruited away by one of the high-end guilds on our server. We kept it together for several months, but in the end, ten of our best players (including our two tanks and the best healer) were poached away by another guild. Eventually, the guild leader and I left too.
Judging by his post on the EU General forums, Aires, GM of Flames of the Phoenix on EU-Terenas, is having the same problem. His small Kara guild is being eaten away by larger guilds who whisper his members, invite them to come to 25-mans, and then ask them if they'd like to join. Admirably, Aires does not cry about it or name names, but asks a general question: Is it ethically right to poach members from smaller guilds who don't approach you first?
Opinions seem to be divided. On one hand, few people will argue that it's "nice" to cannibalize a smaller guild, and many SSC/TK guilds who do this to "loser guilds" would scream bloody murder if a BT/Hyjal guild did the same to them. But every server also has a limited supply of players who don't suck, and new recruits do have to come from somewhere. Plus, there's no real way to steal a player who doesn't want to be stolen in the first place.
The thread also contains a rare personal opinion from a Blizzard employee. CM Vaneras says that your answer to the question basically depends on why you play the game. If you play for what Vaneras terms "shiny epics", you probably won't see anything wrong with poaching, while those who play for "the cameraderie and accomplishments of a guild" will hate it.
What do you think about guild poaching?

Indians stifled as eight-game win streak ends
MIAMI -- The Indians held their usual advance meeting for the hitters in the hours leading up to Friday's meeting with the Marlins' Jose Fernandez. The players saw video, received scouting reports and devised a plan of attack for facing the rookie phenom.

MIAMI -- The Indians held their usual advance meeting for the hitters in the hours leading up to Friday's meeting with the Marlins' Jose Fernandez. The players saw video, received scouting reports and devised a plan of attack for facing the rookie phenom.
Nothing could have prepared Cleveland for what took place at Marlins Park.Full Game Coverage
Kid Fernandez took the mound and spun the kind of stellar performance that had the Indians batters wearing out the grass between the batter's box and the dugout. Behind eight brilliant innings, Fernandez sent Cleveland to a 10-0 Interleague loss, ending the team's season-high eight-game winning streak.
"Thankfully, he's in the National League," Indians manager Terry Francona said.
The Tribe did have other problems in the opener of this three-game series.
Starter Ubaldo Jimenez labored through four innings for the Indians (60-49) and was chased from the game after fatigue set in as his pitch count crossed the century mark. The typically surehanded shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera bobbled a pair of grounders for errors, including one in the first inning that, rather than igniting a double play, jumpstarted a three-run rally for Miami.
Cleveland's biggest issue, however, was Fernandez.
The rookie owned the night.
"He's going to be a great pitcher," Jimenez said. "The poise that he has on the mound, and he's that young? He's going to be one of the best pitchers in the league if he stays healthy and keeps working hard."
That is Fernandez's plan.
"Today I'm going to enjoy," Fernandez said after dominating the Indians. "Tomorrow, I'm going to get back to work. Up here, the game will get you real quick. I don't want it to get me."
Fernandez (8-5, 2.54 ERA) finished his outing with 14 strikeouts, eight groundouts and two flyouts. The right-hander with the overpowering fastball and biting slider sliced his way through the Cleveland nine with workmanlike precision, scattering three hits and issuing just one walk within his 108-pitch performance.
Fernandez's 14 strikeouts were the most by a starting pitcher against the Indians since Zack Greinke piled up 15 on Aug. 25, 2009. Fernandez also joined Angels pitcher Jorge Rubio (Oct. 2, 1966) as the only pitcher since at least 1916 to have at least 14 strikeouts in eight or more shutout innings against Cleveland.
Not bad for a rookie who turned 21 years old on Wednesday.
"He's a pretty young kid," Francona said. "He had everything. He wasn't just throwing it. He was pitching with not a lot of effort. Velocity, breaking ball. ... You hate to say it -- you're trying to beat him -- but when it's all said and done and you look back, that was an unbelievable start."
The Marlins (43-65) reached double digits in runs and churned out 16 hits throughout their onslaught, but the three-run burst in the opening inning was all Fernandez required.
With out one, Giancarlo Stanton chopped a pitch from Jimenez to the left side of the infield, where Cabrera fumbled the roller and could not recover in time to get a forceout at second base. Instead of an inning-ending double play, the Marlins had new life.
Logan Morrison delivered a run-scoring double and Miami eked out two more runs to put Cleveland in a 3-0 hole.
Marlins Park is known for its fast infield -- an unfamiliar diamond for the American League-dwelling Tribe -- but Cabrera only blamed himself.
"I have no excuse," Cabrera said. "We lost the game right there in the first inning. That was a routine ground ball for a double play in the first inning. I just missed it."
Jimenez (8-6) had been on a strong roll of late, posting a 2.93 ERA over 12 starts heading into Friday's game. Cabrera's two errors, and the right-hander's lapse in command, forced Jimenez from the game after allowing five runs (two earned) in his four frames. The five runs were the most allowed by a Tribe starter since July 6.
"You hate to ever give anybody extra opportunities, and we did that," Francona said. "Saying that, throwing 100 pitches in four innings is too much. And the way their guy is pitching, we didn't need a reason to take the steam out. It was a tough night to pitch like that."
Fernandez established a club rookie record with his 14 strikeouts, and he became the first Major League rookie to amass at least 13 strikeouts in consecutive starts since Kerry Wood accomplished the feat for the Cubs in 1998. Fernandez's 27 strikeouts represent a franchise record for two straight outings.
"What he's done is special, man," Morrison said. "I told him in the dugout after he came out in the eighth, 'That was special.' I've never seen anything like that, personally. He's not afraid to be great."
Miami fans have been getting used to such performances.
Over his past 11 starts, Fernandez has gone 6-2 with a 1.67 ERA and 86 strikeouts in 75 1/3 innings.
The pitcher's story has also been picking up steam nationally. Fernandez defected from Cuba in January 2008, and the speedboat in which he fled took bullets from Cuban soldiers during the journey across the Gulf of Mexico. This season, Fernandez made Miami's rotation after only pitching at the Class A level a year ago.
The Indians badly wanted to beat him on Friday, but were simply overmatched.
That does not mean the club can't walk away impressed.
"I know it's a good story," Francona said. "I know he's been through a lot. Pitching in a Major League game is probably not [intimidating] in the grand scheme of things for him, with what he's been through. That was really impressive."

I do like his instincts in rebounding the ball & he has similar impact as Amir (he's just in his second year). So if we do keep him, which I would hope they do because he impacts the game positively for the Raptors yet his skills are not even close to being harnessed.

Grants of Arms
Coats of Arms derived when mediaeval knights taking part in tournaments were recognised by the arms they bore on their shields and the crests they wore on their helmets. Heralds became responsible for recording arms, and then later for controlling their use.
Coats of arms belong to individuals. For any person to have a right to a coat of arms they must either have had it granted to them or be descended in the legitimate male line from a person to whom arms were granted or confirmed in the past.
To establish a right to arms by inheritance it is necessary to prove a descent from an ancestor who is already recorded as entitled to arms in the registers of the College of Arms.
The Society of Genealogists has hundreds of historic 'Grants of Arms' letters patent which are all quite beautiful in their own right. Most have one or two seals attached to the official parchment document which are protected by a removable metal case. They are rolled and kept in official College of Arms boxes.
Grant of Arms for Amelius Richard Mark Lockwood 1917
Grant of Arms for William Joseph Kelson Millard 1882

When we go to foreign countries, two things make us sick: contaminated water, and unfamiliar germs on our food. It's ironic that we've raised our standard of living, while making ourselves more and more vulnerable to what is, essentially, dirt and bugs.
When I was young, I drank from streams and ate from dumpsters and the piles of abandoned food behind grocery stores. I ate the pizza slices people left on the tray when they left the restaurant. And the result . . . I stayed fed, and I never got sick while traveling.
Now, I eat fine fresh food, all clean and nice. And I get sick when traveling, because my body is no longer exposed to those stream and dumpster germs. I had that notion in mind when I went to Cancun this week.
I'd never been to an upscale Mexican resort before, so I decided to take a look behind the scenes at the Moon Palace. I got up at dawn and went for a walk. The first thing I noticed was the jungle. You reach the boundaries of the property, and there it is, on the other side of the fence.
Every night, through that fence, there's a steady trickle of crabs, scorpions, snakes, and rodents. And right behind, there's a little army of workers, catching them before the tourii wake up and notice, or worse, step on one and really notice.
Wherever grass leads into swamp, there are signs warning of crocodiles. I looked hard for crocs, but I never saw one. I did see some scorpions, and some snakes in the trees. And I also some plenty of birds and mammals.
At 6AM, the crews were just arriving for work. The cooks and bakers are the first to get going. Here's a food service person bringing some of the first trays of food to the conference area.
Both shots show pride in the work, the place, and the equipment. As a lover of machines, I was pleased. All the equipment repair is done outside, as you can see here:
Here (below), you can see the garbage handling behind the main hotel building. As you can see, it's clean, cleaner actually than most places in New York. I was impressed. In addition, they are separating organic from inorganic waste, and recycling. The large units on the platform are chillers for the climate control. I suspect they are raised like that to protect them from hurricane driven storm surge. With that height, they are ready for some big storms.
This is the other side of the dock, where fresh supplies are loaded in. Note again the absence of loose food bits and trash.
Here you can see the recycling bins where glass and plastic are gathered.
It's all clean and modern. I wish I had pictures to show you, but my camera was overcome by humidity and it had stopped working.

So Long, Shuttle — It's Been Great
When the Space Shuttle lands�which it did this morning for the last time�it lights up the west coast of Florida with a resounding double sonic-boom. It's not subtle, either. It rattles the windows to the point that even when you know what it is, you ask�what the hell was that?
I missed it this morning. The orbiter's track was evidently far enough south to rattle the windows in Fort Myers, but not here. Too bad. It was always a thrill to hear it. And for the record, the shuttle is moving so fast that by the time you hear that shock wave, it's most of the way to Cape Canaveral and if you're quick about it, you can tune a cable channel just in time to see it touch down.
Speaking of records, did the shuttle program establish an impressive one? I'd say it's mixed. But at a total cost of $209 billion over 30 years, I would say it was a bargain, even though NASA promised each launch would cost only $10 million and the actual cost was $1.2 billion�120 times as much. For that money, it launched 3.5 million pounds of cargo, placed 180 satellites, returned 52 to earth, docked at the International Space Station 37 times and flew 789 astronauts/cosmonauts from 16 countries. All told, the shuttles completed 21,030 orbits in 198,728 hours of flight.
In the July 18th issue of Time magazine, famed space mechanic Story Musgrave mourned the shuttle's passing, but vows to go into space again as a tourist. Following his spectacularly successful 1993 repair on the Hubble Telescope, along with Jeffrey Hoffman, I recall an interview with Musgrave in which he said all of the crews sweated the launch until MECO�main engine cutoff. He hasn't mellowed that view with age. He told Time the shuttle was very unsafe and very fragile. "A butterfly bolted onto a bullet, you know."
Depending on how you want to look at it, the shuttle's safety record was either horrible or surprisingly good. On a per launch basis, its accident rate was nearly 1500 per 100,000 launches, a number that would give anyone pause. On the other hand, the shuttle's fatal accident rate per hour of flight was a more reasonable .99/100,000 hours�considerably better than the general aviation rate. These are somewhat silly comparisons, but kind of interesting, nonetheless.
In his Time interview, Musgrave seemed only mildly impressed with the shuttle's achievements, suggesting that what the country really needed was not a space truck, but bolder missions of exploration such as the Apollo program. I agree with that view. The shuttle was more of a utility hitter than a big bat in the seventh inning.
But now that it's grounded, it means for the foreseeable future, the U.S. is not a space faring nation. The shuttle, for all its faults and failures, was ultimately a prestige program that, I suspect, not even many aviation enthusiasts paid much attention to. But now that it's gone? Now that that launch facility and huge runway at Kennedy Space Center will slowly deteriorate, along with all the facilities that supported it, not to mention the people who ran the program�I'm telling you, we're gonna miss those 30-year-old crates.
I already do.

I wanted to see Cocoon, but I missed it.

Fri 3/1, 10:45 AM: I Married a Witch (1942) with Fredric March and Veronica Lake
Sat 3/2, 8 PM: Around the World in 80 Days (1956) -- borderline genre at best, but it is Jules Verne. (The original book portrayed nothing that wasn't actually possible at the time; in fact, it was inspired by a newspaper article saying that it could be done.)
Mon 3/4, 10:30 AM: Between Two Worlds (1944) -- something to do with a luxury liner to the afterlife. Sydney Greenstreet and Paul Henreid are in it.
Wed 3/6, 9 PM: Bell, Book and Candle ('59) again

12:45 PM: Dick Tracy ('45)
2:00 PM: The Horn Blows at Midnight ('45) -- Ooh, I should watch this! Jack Benny constantly mocked his performance as an angel in this movie, but reportedly it's not that bad. It also features Margaret Dumont, the Marx Brothers' favorite foil.

3:15 AM: The Awful Dr. Orloff ('62), B-horror.
9:00 AM: Attack of the 50 Foot Woman ('58)
3:00 PM: Creature from the Black Lagoon ('54)
Pretty slim pickings overall, but with some interesting stuff toward mid-month. There were a couple of false alarms, titles that sounded like they should be sci-fi but weren't, like Valley of the Giants (something about the redwood forests) and Night of the Iguana. And The Horn Blows at Midnight may not count as fantasy since it's presented as a dream, but I couldn't resist.
I've been trying to figure out something about movie titles. If a title is written differently between, say, the posters and the opening credits, which one is the "real" title? The opening credits say Bell Book and Candle, no comma anywhere in sight. Everywhere else it's written with at least one comma. Since the comma-less version is what actually appears onscreen, does that make it the official title?
Similarly, the first Leone/Eastwood Western is referred to almost invariably as A Fistful of Dollars, but what actually appears in the opening credits is just Fistful of Dollars. No article.
How do you judge?
^ Interesting question, to add to the mix A Fistful of Dollars probably had an Italian title originally just to complicate things more. Do film titles get registered somewhere?
I think the Italian title translates as For a Fistful of Dollars.
I remember that a couple of the movies they showed on Mystery Science Theater 3000 had title problems due to production errors. There was the movie whose title was shown onscreen as Attack of the THE EYE CREATURES, and is actually listed with the double "the" in its MST Wiki entry. And there was the movie that was called The Brain That Wouldn't Die in the opening titles and The Head That Wouldn't Die in the end titles.
If there's a difference, I go by what's in the opening credits. Unfortunately that's not always possible since credit titles don't usually include colons for subtitles.
I was about to ask the same thing. I think so. I remember someone referencing something like that when they said that Star Trek Generations had no colon.
But what do you do with something like Batman Forever, where the onscreen title is just the word "Forever" over a Batman logo? For that matter, not one of Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, and the earlier 1988 animated Superman showed a written title onscreen at all (though the '88 series used the classic opening narration with the name spoken several times). So maybe onscreen titles shouldn't be the definitive ones.
And what about films or shows that go by different titles in different releases? Like those MST3K films that got retitled upon video release, such as Marooned being retitled Space Travelers. Or TV shows that got renamed in syndicated reruns, like Happy Days becoming Happy Days Again (something they often did in the '70s to avoid confusion between new episodes and reruns)?
^ I include stylized titles as part of my "not always possible" comment. I was going to mention that but didn't. In some of those instances, the colon is the issue once again, though it's sometimes obvious when one is present, like with Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and when one isn't present, like with Batman Forever.
As for movies with different titles, I don't know. If it's clear that a title was updated, like with Star Wars for example, I'd go with the update.
Change the title of Star Wars? No way, that never happened!
Titles can be very fluid. Movies were often released under different titles in the old days, and I have a couple of DVDs where the title on the print is different from the one on the case (I think The Living Ghost is one). IMDB usually lists all the alternatives, but I have no idea how they choose the primary title. TV shows will change their titles, too, sometimes in mid-run (like Enterprise becoming Star Trek Enterprise [or was it Star Trek: Enterprise?]) and sometimes in syndication (like some Gunsmoke re-runs distributed under the title Marshall Dillon). In casual conversation, titles are often changed or shortened. The "A" or "The" are frequently dropped, part of the title is often dropped ("Star Trek" becomes "Trek"), or just the initials used ("ST") or a nickname used ("TOS").
Probably not something to lose too much sleep over.
Or titles can be changed for home-video release for clarification. This has happened a couple of times with Star Trek. The original pilot was actually called "The Menagerie" by the time it was filmed, and went under that title for years; but by the early '80s it had become the practice to refer to it in reference works by its earlier working title "The Cage," and when a print of it was finally discovered and released on TV and home video, it was released under that title instead of its real one, and it's been known as "The Cage" ever since.
Also, the 1973 animated series from Filmation was called simply Star Trek, no subtitle. Growing up, I just thought of it as "the animated Star Trek," or when I was younger, "the cartoon Star Trek." When it was first released on home video in 1991, it was billed as The Animated Adventures of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek, although the first six words were a tiny supertitle. I'm not sure when it became formally known as Star Trek: The Animated Series.
This happens with TV episodes, too. "Operation: Annihilate!" is often listed in reference sources with a colon, but the actual onscreen title employs dashes, as in "Operation--Annihilate!"
And here's another issue: movie and TV credits often used to place their titles in quote marks, although this convention has largely fallen by the wayside. So are the quote marks part of the title, or just an old-fashioned typographical choice?
For example, is the old Errol Flynn movie Captain Blood or "Captain Blood" (as the title actually appears onscreen)?
^ I ran into that problem last week when I saw "Cougars Inc."
One of the most amusing examples of retitling for syndication was Emergency!, the classic 70s paramedic/firefighting/medical drama... when the hour-long original was cut down into half-hour versions for syndication as Emergency Squad!, the title screen would come up "Emergency!" just like the original, and then "Squad" would come in below it, matted in after in the same font. So what you'd acually see onscreen was "Emergency! Squad" ...
I can still hear the opening bell/buzzer from the credits of that show.
I wonder if there's a comprehensive list of shows retitled for syndication.
(checks TV Tropes)
Okay, probably not completely comprehensive, but pretty thorough: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SyndicationTitle
I just watched The Horn Blows at Midnight. Indeed it wasn't as bad as Jack Benny always joked about it being. It's rather silly, but it was a well-made movie with some really impressive visual effects for 1945, and a rich musical score by Franz Waxman (with an uncredited Carl Stalling scoring the climactic action in his familiar cartoon style -- this was a Warner Bros. picture). And the two leading ladies, Alexis Smith and Dolores Moran, were both stunning.
The funniest line, though, was when Jack Benny's character said at the beginning that he didn't care about money...
I also decided to record the movie TCM showed just before THBaM, which was the Dick Tracy movie from the same year. Coincidentally, Mike Mazurki was in both movies, playing the villain in Dick Tracy and a henchman in THBaM. (I figure it's a coincidence because Mazurki doesn't strike me as a prominent enough actor for TCM to build a theme day around.) The Tracy film was okay, although its star Morgan Conway didn't look much like the comics character (but then, neither did Warren Beatty). He was more a sort of bargain-basement Bogart. Otherwise it seemed to be a decent adaptation of the source, though hardly an origin story or anything; the character was so familiar already from comics, radio, and matinee serials that even though this was the first feature-length Dick Tracy film, it felt like a routine installment of an ongoing series. It did set up kind of an interesting mystery about the motive and purpose behind the crimes, though I figured it out ahead of the characters.
And he was in Murder, My Sweet, which I believe was on the schedule around this time. Are you sure it's a coincidence?
Although I thought he was in The Big Sleep (also on), but sources say otherwise.
Since this discussion, I've started thinking of it as Bell Book and Comma.
Last-Moment-Notice Dept.:
Attack of the 50 Foot Woman starts in 10 minutes lol...

So I've seen a good number of people on here talking about receiving an Intel motherboard with bent pins. I thought I'd offer some words of encouragement to those of you thinking about attempting to correct the issue.
*WARNING* - This is not for the faint of heart, those with a constitution check of less than 20 (d20), or individuals with parkinson's disease.
Tools Needed
Magnifying Glass (if you aren't perfectly near sighted like me)
Compressed Air straw
Adequate light
***Check List***
0. Is this a new board? If so you may want to consider an RMA before touching anything....
1. How many pins are bent? (1 or 2? Or is half of the grid bent)
2. What appeared to cause the bent pins? Does it look like a large area of bent pins from something pressing down on them or random "rogue" pins?
3. How bad are the pins, are they just misaligned to the left or right, or are they pushed down under another? Does the base of the pin appear to be attached correct?
If its only a few pins, and it doesn't look like the base of the pin has been pressed down so hard that it could have caused other damage and they appear to just be "leaning"... then your board may be a candidate for Pin Correction Surgery!
For these Intel pin grids, simple look at this from a 45 degree angle towards a good light source and you can spot the individual pins that are misaligned. Once you have determined which pins are incorrectly bent, use a magnifying glass to determine which direction it need to be corrected towards. Without the magnifying glass look top down direction at the pins with light above your head and you will see a gold little dot for each pin tip. You can usually see the rows that are off a little bit and will see a single pin that isn't correct.
1 . . . . . . . .
2 . . . . . . . .
3 . . . . . . . .
As you can see in the above "Schematic" (yep I'm calling it that), Row 1 appears to be perfectly fine. Row 2's pin #2 is shifted to the left and Row 3's pin #3 is also to the left.
What you will want to do is take the tip of the Compressed air straw and simply (and ULTRA carefully) slip the pin inside the straw's hole. Don't push down at all and don't leverage the straw very hard at all. You will ever so slightly just lean the straw in the direction that the pin needs to go. After every slight adjustment, remove the stray and double check the position of the pin. I can't stress this enough how slightly you need to move the straw to correct the pin. This may seem like a very crude way to deal with such fine electrical components, but done by the right hands you can bring your motherboard back into operational status. I was able to do this with a Mini ITX board that was unable to post until I performed the above. Good luck guys, just remember to be VERRRRRRRY delicate.
