The evils of Flash - Journal of Omnifarious
May. 7th, 2010
10:25 am - The evils of Flash
This was a Slashdot comment, but I think it deserves a top level post here. It's in response to Apple's attack on Adobe Flash, it's all about online video NOT. (I added the 'NOT' because that's the author's conclusion.)
Flash is a despicable disgrace. Most of the time when I talk to a Flash developer, the thing they're the happiest about is the control they get over my computer. This is directly because the Flash player is a piece of garbage closed source tool that purposely caters to developers over end-users. The Open Source gnash (not ganash) player has an option to pause a Flash program. The Adobe player will never, ever end up with that option, ever. Giving me control over my own computer is against Adobe's best interest. That makes Adobe's Flash player is little more than a widely deployed trojan horse that, IMHO, is little better than spyware (Flash cookies anyone? Where's my control over those?).
I wouldn't complain so bitterly about this if the gnash player were actually a decent drop in replacement for the closed source Flash player, but it isn't. I have to either choose my freedom to have my computer do what I want instead of what some random corporation wants with Flash that is broken most of the time, or Flash that works while giving up my freedom. I will choose my freedom, thank you very much, but I will be bitter about the stupid choice I'm forced to make.
So, when one maker of a closed, proprietary platform that steals people's freedom purposely does things to the detriment of another closed proprietary platform that steals people's freedom, I can't help but cheer. And I hope Adobe finds a way to play nasty games with Apple too. The more these two companies can find ways to hurt eachother, the more the rest of us benefit.
If Adobe Open Sourced the Flash player (I could care less about the developer tools, they will end up with Open Source implementations no matter what Adobe does if the player is truly open) my objections to Flash would completely disappear. I could realistically choose a fully functional Flash player and I'm certain I could find one with a pause button, or one that refused to store cookies for longer than a week. I could make it myself if I wanted to.
And lest you tell me that I'm just whining, the majority of large sites out there no longer look right without Flash. By not using Flash, I'm cut off from a significant part of the experience of the web. I shouldn't be forced to give up control of my computer in order to browse the web. That's a completely and utterly ridiculous assertion.

Conservative Media Calls For Filibustering Liu Despite Prominent Bipartisan Support
Research ››› ››› MELODY JOHNSON
As Media Matters has previously reported, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has filed a cloture petition on President Obama's nomination of Goodwin Liu to be a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the ninth Circuit. Despite bipartisan support for Liu by prominent conservative politicians, the right-wing media have continuously attacked the nominee, and in some cases called for a filibuster of the nomination.
Right-Wing Media Attack Liu In Wake Of Cloture Filing For His Court Of Appeals Nomination
The Wall Street Journal Criticizes Liu, Calls For Filibuster. In a May 19 editorial, The Wall Street Journal suggested that Senate Republicans should filibuster the confirmation of Obama judicial nominee Goodwin Liu, writing: "We dislike judicial filibusters, but Democrats can hardly protest because Republicans are imitating the practice they pioneered when George W. Bush was President. ... Turnabout is unfair play, but nobody would be more deserving than Goodwin Liu." The Journal further stated, "Good luck trying to explain a vote for Mr. Liu to social conservatives, or for that matter to anyone outside the liberal legal academy, where the law is what professors say it is." [The Wall Street Journal, 5/19/11]
National Review Online: "It's Time For Republican Senators To Defeat Cloture On The Liu Nomination." In a May 17 post to National Review Online, Ed Whelan wrote:
For the reasons that I have explained, I believe that the Liu nomination is one that Senate Republicans--together, one hopes, with a few sensible Democrats--must work to defeat.
I continue to hold the view that I've expressed since the outset of Bench Memos in 2004--that the filibuster of judicial nominees is constitutionally permissible but a bad practice. It's clear, however, that unilateral disarmament by Republicans would do nothing to deter Democrats from filibustering Republican nominees. As with the independent-counsel statute, the only sensible choice for Republican senators who want to get rid of the filibuster in the long run is to employ it against very bad judicial nominees by President Obama.
In sum, it's time for Republican senators to defeat cloture on the Liu nomination. [National Review Online, 5/17/11 emphasis in original]
National Review's Whelan Compiles "Key Points" With Which To "Defeat" Liu. In a May 18 post to National Review Online, Whelan assembled "a quick stab at some key points distilled from the selected repository of my extensive documentation of the case against the controversial nomination of Berkeley law professor Goodwin Liu to the Ninth Circuit." The list contains six points, one of which is "Liu presents a volatile mix of aggressive left-wing ideology and raw inexperience. He's the rare nominee who would threaten to make the ninth Circuit worse than it already is." [National Review Online, 5/18/11]
Verum Serum Calls For Liu To Be Disqualified "From The Judiciary." In a May 18 post to the conservative blog Verum Serum titled, "Goodwin Liu's Views on Reparations Should Automatically Disqualify Him from the Judiciary," blogger Morgen Richmond wrote:
There are numerous reasons for conservatives to oppose Liu's nomination, but I don't think anything better captures just how far out of the mainstream Liu's views are than his 2008 comments on reparations for slavery. What are you willing to give up?
It's clear - perfectly, irrefutably clear - that in his view the legacy of slavery requires an even greater cost from society than has already been paid. Most concerning of all, the types of recompense which Liu envisions we may have to offer in the name of social justice...i.e. a seat at college, where we live and send our children to school, and yes, money (ahem, reparations)...will undoubtably be issues at play in cases which would come before him. Most civil court cases, by definition, involve a dispute over rights or property, where the judges' decision will ultimately result in one party "giving something up" in favor of the other party. And some of these very issues (e.g. affirmative action, welfare rights) are still being adjudicated in the courts.
These views should automatically disqualify Goodwin Liu him from the judiciary.
To be blunt, if you are not among the 13.6% of Americans who are black, and you are sitting in court on the opposite side of the table from someone who is, how do you know that Judge Liu is not going to choose this moment to enforce this "moral duty to make things right" upon you? How do we know that he won't enforce this upon all of us with broader legal questions which may come before his court?
The fact of the matter is we don't, and given his apparent attempt to hide some of his most controversial views prior to his initial confirmation hearing, I don't think the Senate should trust him with a lifetime appointment to the bench. [Verum Serum, 5/18/11 emphasis in original]
Malkin Criticizes Liu, Urges Readers "Burn Up Those Senate Phone Lines" To Oppose His Nomination. In a May 17 post to her website, Michelle Malkin criticized Liu, saying: "Liu's chronic amnesia and recklessly injudicious smearing of Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito are bad enough. But his expedient metamorphosis from radical judicial activist to cut-and-run cypheris baldly disqualifying." Malkin went on to urge readers to call their Senators and oppose the nomination: "Burn up those Senate phone lines...every call counts." [Michelle Malkin.com, 5/18/11]
Red State: Liu's Is The "Biggest Nomination Fight Of 2011." In a May 18 post to Red State, Curt Levey wrote:
Liu's left-wing agenda and outrageously activist view of the law makes this showdown a classic test of the bipartisan "extraordinary circumstances" standard for when judicial nominees can be filibustered. The standard originated in the 2005 Gang of 14 agreement.
Liu has expressed left-wing views on virtually every hot-button issue likely to come before him on the bench, including the view that Americans are obligated to pay reparations for slavery, an obligation he would likely read into the Constitution. Liu is too far to the left for even Rahm Emanuel, who advised the President against making this nomination.
Levey went on to urge readers: "Those concerned about this radical nominee should contact the key GOP senators immediately" regarding Liu's nomination. Additionally, the front page of Red State on May 19 advertised a senate phone number and urged readers to again "CALL YOUR SENATOR AT (202) 224-3121 THIS MORNING AND TELL HIM TO VOTE AGAINST CLOTURE FOR GOODWIN LIU." [Red State, 5/18/11 emphasis in original]
But Liu Has Received Various Conservative Republicans' Support
Kenneth Starr Recommended Liu For Judicial Appointment. A letter supporting Liu that former Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr co-wrote with Yale Law Professor Akhil Amar stated: "What we wish to highlight, beyond his obvious intellect and legal talents, is his independence and openness to diverse viewpoints as well as his ability to follow the facts and the law to their logical conclusion, whatever its political valence may be." [ConstitutionalValues.org, 3/19/10]
John Yoo: "For A Democratic Nominee, He's A Very Good Choice." According to The Los Angeles Times, John Yoo, a former official in President Bush's Department of Justice, said of Liu's nomination: "[H]e's not someone a Republican president would pick, but for a Democratic nominee, he's a very good choice." [The Los Angeles Times, 3/9/10]
Tom Campbell: "A Higher Calling And The Nation's Gain." Campbell -- former dean of the business school at the University of California-Berkeley and an unsuccessful candidate for the 2010 Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in California --stated that Liu "is one of the most capable colleagues I've had in my three decades in academia. I hate the thought of Berkeley losing him, but it's a higher calling and the nation's gain. His ability to analyze, communicate, and inspire will make him a favorite among litigants and a leader among judges." [The University of California Berkeley School of Law, 2/24/10]
Clint Bollick: "I Strongly Support His Nomination." Bollick, director of the Goldwater Institute, wrote that he "strongly support[s]" Liu's nomination, adding that, "[h]aving reviewed several of his academic writings, I find Prof. Liu to exhibit fresh, independent thinking and intellectual honesty. He clearly possesses the scholarly credentials and experience to serve with distinction on this important court." [The Legal Times, 1/20/10]
William T. Coleman: "I Think He Will Make A Tremendous Judge." Coleman, who was Secretary of Transportation during the Ford administration, stated: "I have known Goodwin Liu for many years as after he finished Yale Law School and then clerked for a Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States he worked at O'Melveny & Myers LLP in the Washington office for several years and did a tremendous job." Coleman later added, "I think he will make a tremendous Judge for the Ninth Circuit." [Judging the Environment, 4/29/10]
Richard Painter: Liu Is "An Outstanding Nominee." University of Minnesota Law Professor and Former Associate Counsel to President Bush, Richard Painter wrote: "Based on my own review of his record, I believe it's not a close question that Liu is an outstanding nominee whose views fall well within the legal mainstream. That conclusion is shared by leading conservatives who are familiar with Liu's record." [The Huffington Post, 3/2/11]
The Right-Wing Media Have Repeatedly Attacked Liu
Right-wing media describe Liu as "radical" and "extremist." In a March 3 editorial, The Washington Times characterized Liu as a "radical" judicial nominee "whose own words demonstrate unfitness for the position." Hannity similarly described Liu's statements as "radical." In his Washington Examiner op-ed, Frank wrote that Liu "stands for an extremist view of the Constitution and the role of the courts." [Media Matters, 4/15/10]
Fox News, right-wing blogs distort Liu's comments to claim he supports reparations. Fox News personalities and right-wing blogs have distorted comments Liu made in a 2008 discussion about the legacy of slavery to suggest he supports "reparations." In fact, nowhere in the passage cited by NRO did Liu say he supported reparations. [Media Matters, 4/15/10]
Whelan Bashes Conservative Legal Scholars In Desperate Attempt To Paint Judicial Nominee As An Extremist. In a March 2 National Review Online post, Whelan attacked Liu, going so far as to criticize various conservative legal scholars Ken Starr and others in order to do so. [Media Matters, 3/2/11]
Washington Times Attempts To Attack Liu With "Foreign Law" Canard. The Washington Times falsely claimed that Liu is "beholden to foreign law" and would look to foreign law for legal "authority" in reaching decisions. In fact, in the law review article the Times cited, Liu spoke favorably about Supreme Court decisions that looked to foreign law as guidance for its decisions, and as a circuit judge, Liu would be obligated to follow those decisions.

Q. When sizing an equipment grounding conductor for a solar photovoltaic system, which also has ground-fault protection for equipment, what is the minimum size equipment grounding conductor required for a circuit that is protected by a circuit breaker rated at 30A?
A) The ground-fault protection equipment is all that is required. An equipment grounding conductor is not required.
B) The minimum size of the equipment grounding conductor shall be based on 125% of the photovoltaic-originated short-circuit currents in that circuit.
C) A 10 AWG conductor, as noted in Table 250.122.
D) An 8 AWG conductor, as noted in Table 250.66.
Answer: C
Because ground-fault protection of equipment is provided, you must size the equipment grounding conductor based on Table 250.122. As noted in Table 250.122, a 10 AWG conductor is required for a circuit protected by a 30A overcurrent device.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) Former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue plans to complete all hearings in the NFL's bounty probe of the Saints by Dec. 4 and make a ruling shortly after.
Such timing potentially could be disruptive for the Saints, who could lose starting defensive end Will Smith and linebacker Jonathan Vilma while trying to claw back into playoff contention.
In a document obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press, Tagliabue directs the NFL to produce key witnesses in the New Orleans Saints' cash-for-hits program, including former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and former defensive assistant Mike Cerullo.
Four players initially were suspended, but those punishments were vacated. Commissioner Roger Goodell re-issued the suspensions with some modifications, and when the players appealed again, Goodell appointed Tagliabue to oversee the new hearings. Vilma and Smith are still playing pending the outcomes of their appeals.
Smith said he was pleased with Tagliabue's decision to hold the NFL responsible for producing witnesses who helped with the league's investigation.
``The most important thing is that Gregg Williams and those other guys are going to have to testify and be cross-examined,'' Smith said. ``We'll see if their story stays the same.''
Even as Tagliabue moves the process forward, a federal judge is still considering arguments by players that Tagliabue should be removed as arbitrator because he is biased in favor of the NFL. Based on the schedule laid out by Tagliabue, U.S. District Judge Ginger Berrigan could choose to rule as early as next week.
Smith said he was ``not concerned'' about the NFL's timeline calling for a decision before the season ends, adding, ``Whatever happens, happens. I don't think I'll be surprised.''
Vilma was not in the Saints' locker room while it was open to reporters.
For now, only Williams, Cerullo, Vilma, Saints assistant head coach Joe Vitt, NFL chief security officer Jeff Miller are the only scheduled witnesses.
They are scheduled to appear in a series of hearings in Washington D.C. running from Tuesday through Dec. 4. That means Vilma and Smith likely will be available at least for the Saints' next two games against San Francisco this Sunday and at Atlanta on Nov. 29. They could also play at the New York Giants on Dec. 9.
Vitt said after Wednesday's practice that he did not know anything about Tagliabue's schedule and declined comment, saying he's focused on getting ready for the 49ers.
Saints linebacker Curtis Lofton said the Saints cannot afford to be distracted by the possibility that they will lose Vilma and Smith late in the season, but he did not diminish the importance of the two players to the Saints' defense.
``These guys have been here for years and they're kind of like the foundation of this team,'' Lofton said. ``So having those guys being able to play has mentally and physically been a boost to this defense and it's great to have those guys out there.''
None of the players have served a game of their suspensions yet, though Vilma was barred from attending Saints training camp before Goodell's initial rulings were vacated during Week 1 of the regular season.
Vilma initially was suspended the entire 2012 season and Smith for four games.
The two other players punished are former Saints: Cleveland linebacker Scott Fujita, who is now on injured reserve, and free-agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove. Hargrove initially was suspended eight games, but that later was reduced to seven with credit given for the first five games he missed as a free agent. Fujita initially was suspended three games and that was later reduced to one game.
Facing resistance from the NFL Players Association and lawyers separately representing Vilma, who had argued that Goodell could not be objective, the commissioner removed himself as arbitrator in the bounty matter and appointed Tagliabue, his predecessor, in his place on Oct. 19.
Tagliabue noted in his most recent memo that other witnesses could be scheduled. Tagliabue also said he expects to decide by Monday whether to allow the Saints' personnel file on Cerullo to be included as evidence.
Players have argued that Cerullo was the NFL's primary source of information about the Saints' performance pool. They've also argued that Cerullo's credibility is in question because he was fired by the club after the 2009-10 season and he had accused the club of preventing him from getting a job on another NFL coaching staff.
The NFL investigation concluded that Saints players were rewarded for hits that knocked targeted opposing players out of games from 2009-2011. The league said there was evidence that the Saints placed bounties on star quarterbacks including Brett Favre, Kurt Warner and Aaron Rodgers.
Saints players and coaches have acknowledged they had a pool that paid rewards for big plays including interceptions, forced fumbles, sacks and big hits, similar to programs other teams have had across the league for generations. However, they say no one ever intended to injure an opposing player.

Summer is quickly approaching, which means I need to beef up my collection of burger recipes for causal cookouts. I've said it before, but being from Buffalo, normally the "buffalo" flavor isn't really our thing, but on a whim, I gave these burgers a try. Man, am I glad I did, though I never should have doubted how amazing they would be, since the recipe comes from a Buffalo-native! The burgers themselves have the perfect amount of spiciness, and the coolness from the slaw on top brings everything together to make one outstanding burger for your next cookout. Placed on homemade whole wheat burger buns, this easily has become one of our favorite burgers!
For the Burgers
2 1/2 tablespoons Butter (I used less)
1 Onion, finely diced
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
1 pound Ground Chicken Breast
2-4 tablespoons Hot Sauce, to taste (I used Frank's)
3/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Cool slightly. In a large bowl, add the onion mixture, chicken, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Combine the mixture with your hands, being careful not to over-mix. Divide the mixture into four portions and shape each into a patty. Grill the burgers until the chicken has cooked completely, being careful not overcook. Place each burger on a bun and top with slaw (recipe below).
For the Slaw
1/4 cup Mayonnaise
1/4 cup Greek Yogurt
1-3 teaspoons Hot Sauce, to taste (I used Frank's)
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/8 teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon Black Pepper
3 Celery Stalks, thinly sliced
1 Carrot, shredded
4 Scallions, thinly sliced
3 ounces Blue Cheese, crumbled
In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, hot sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; stir well. Add the celery, carrot, and scallions and stir until coated with the sauce. Gently fold in the blue cheese crumbles. Add additional salt, pepper, and hot sauce, to taste.

Samsung, Google delay next-gen Nexus launch
iPhone 4S release noise would drown out their signal?
Samsung and Google have reportedly cancelled next week's launch of the smartphone everyone expects will be the new Nexus.
Samsung today said the two companies have "decided to postpone the new product announcement at CTIA Fall. We agree that it is just not the right time to announce a new product. New date and venue will be shortly announced".
Pundits are drawn an obvious conclusion: Samsung and Google are delaying the launch because of Steve Jobs' death this week.
But even Apple hasn't put back the release of the iPhone 4S, due to take place the day after the planned Samsung-Google announcement on 11 October, so that seems unlikely.
Barring last minute technical issues with the phone, either the partners don't want their announcement being lost amid the coverage the 4S release will garner, or Google's next version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, which the new Nexus will sport, isn't quite as ready for release as anticipated.

Great mid-week easy meal. I used a few chopped plum tomatoes (had no tinned) which I think worked better. Added a sliced red chilli to up the heat a little bit and a half chopped red pepper to up the veg content. 200ml sachet of coconut milk and a dash of fish sauce. I only cooked the prawns for 4 mins...any more and they toughen up. Would make again.
21st Jan, 2017
Cooked this twice now, last time for 8 people who totally demolished it! As for the bland comments, I agree with Lulu 06 below...change your curry paste, it's the paste that makes the dish! I use the ones from mythaicurry (Google them) and they are streets ahead of anything else I have ever come across. Last time I switched the coconut cream to coconut milk and ditched the tinned tomatoes and it was all the better for it. Lot's of ways to tweak a Thai curry but bland pastes mean a bland curry!
3rd Oct, 2016
This was lovely. I doubled the sauce too but not the prawns. I removed half the sauce and cooked 250g prawns. Saved the other half in the fridge, heated it and cooked another 250g prawns. Delish both times but I added the full amount of paste (doubled of course). Oh and I added 1 cup of petitpois. For those who said it was bland, switch curry paste brands, learn to cook or stop killing your taste buds with salt.
9th Nov, 2017
Slow Cooker: Fry onions, then add 2/3 gloves of garlic and two chilli's w ginger Add 2 tablespoons of soy Add 1 tablespoon of fish sauce Add 1/2 squeezed lime Add 3 medium tomatoes cut into quarters Add the veg (carrots, red pepper, sugar snap peas) Add the paste (like others have said, its so worthwhile buying decent/highend brand rather than supermarket alternative. Depending on paste flavour add kaffir leaves 1-2) Add coconut milk and 1 veg stock (I used whole tin but does end up being more soup-ie rather than thick curry, so half if you want less of a broth) Cook for 3 hours on high Then add raw uncooked frozen prawns for last 30mins (still on high) with cup of peas Serve with loads of coriander and basmati rice!

The new ethical quandary Augusta National finds itself in is adding some extra sizzle to the Masters.
The club is adamant that it has the legal right to bar women from becoming members.
And that's true. No one is arguing with that.
What everyone is arguing, including President Obama and Mitt Romney, is that it's time for Augusta to recognize that the world has changed (for the better) and voluntarily start offering memberships to women.
Augusta LOVES to offer memberships to rich and super-powerful CEOs, especially the rich and super-powerful CEOs of companies who sponsor the Masters.
That's why the Club has offered membership to the last 4 CEOs of IBM.
But now IBM has gone and appointed a woman CEO.
And now we're hearing all the usual arguments about how Augusta has "traditions" and how there are "men's bathrooms" in the world and so on.
Well, there used to be "black bathrooms," too. Those were quite "traditional" once upon a time. (If Augusta National had had black members, it presumably would have had them.)
And Augusta National is obviously not just a local bowling alley where men gather to hoist a few on guys' night out. It's a "national" club that prides itself on having only the country's most powerful and rich people as members. And some (many?) of those members are lousy golfers, so membership is certainly not about the golf.
The world has changed a lot since Augusta National was founded. When "traditions" become outdated, which they often do, traditions should be changed.
And Augusta, of course, knows that.
When golf equipment got better and scores started going lower, Augusta rushed to change the "traditional" length of the course. And it keeps changing that "tradition" whenever necessary, to make sure that the pros don't embarrass the club by shooting too low.
Thanks to IBM's confidence in CEO Virginia Rometty, Augusta finally has a chance to gracefully change another tradition--and, in so doing, do the right thing.

Judge Mary A. McLaughlin
September 2012: Median Prison Sentence
District Court - Pennsylvania East
Referring Agency: United States Postal Service
Program Area: White Collar Crime
For all cases disposed of in the current fiscal year (2012) that were credited to Judge Mary A. McLaughlin in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the median prison sentence was 30.0 months, when looking only at cases referred by the United States Postal Service falling under the broad category of "White Collar Crime". This number is 25.0% higher than the median prison sentence for all the Eastern District of Pennsylvania matters disposed in the same period. At the same time, the judge's median prison sentence was 42.9% higher than the typical 2012 sentence for the nation as a whole. During the current fiscal year, Judge Mary A. McLaughlin has sentenced 11 defendants compared with one defendant during the twelve months of the previous fiscal year.
Focusing on a five-year period, the median prison sentence imposed on defendants that were credited to Judge McLaughlin was 31.0 months. This was 47.5% higher than the 21.0 months typical in Pennsylvania East and 72.2% higher than the 18.0 months median prison sentence for the nation. Judge Mary A. McLaughlin sentenced 14 defendants during the past five years.
(CAUTION: The kinds of cases handled by individual judges influences statistical information about their sentences. It therefore is important to consider the breakdown of cases that each has handled, available below, when making judge-by-judge comparisons.)
Figure 1 compares Judge McLaughlin's numbers to those for judges in this district and in the United States as a whole for cases of this type over the last five years.
During the last five years there were 24 other judges in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania with information on convictions during that period. Median prison sentence numbers passed down for those judges ranged from 0.0 months to 67.5 months, putting Judge McLaughlin's median prison sentence of 31.0 months at the higher end of the range. The median prison sentence for the whole Eastern District of Pennsylvania during that time was 21.0 months.

For those who are very bullish on the SPX index over the near- or long-term, and who require a known, limited downside risk, buying an index call might be an appropriate strategy to use. Purchasing an SPX call option usually requires a smaller initial cash investment than an investment equal to the current underlying asset value (current SPX index level x $100 multiplier). In addition to reducing the capital at risk, the smaller call purchase amount offers the potential of leveraged profits if a bullish outlook proves correct. As SPX index continues to increase, the long SPX call's profit potential is theoretically unlimited. On the downside, the call buyer's maximum loss is known in advance and is limited entirely to the option's purchase price.
Remember that SPX options have European-style exercise and A.M settlement characteristics. An investor with a long call or put position may sell that position, if it has market value, on any day up to and including the business day (usually a Thursday) preceding the day on which the exercise settlement value is calculated. However, the option contract(s) may be exercised only on the day the SPX exercise settlement value is calculated and disseminated, or the last business day (usually a Friday) before the expiration date.
In other words, an investor with an expiring long SPX call may observe current market prices during its last trading day (Thursday) and have the opportunity to sell it before the market closes. If on that day the investor considers exercising the call instead, he will be exposed to a degree of overnight market risk. This is because the cash settlement amount received upon exercise will not be known until the following morning (Friday) when the market opens (possibly up or down significantly) and the exercise settlement value is calculated. As well, an option that is in-the-money (or out-of-the-money) at the close of the last trading day may or may not be so the next morning when compared to the calculated settlement value.
Investors may observe that European-style options trade at lower relative value than American-style options with similar contract size. This is because investors may pay more for American-style contracts in exchange for the right of early exercise (before expiration). And because European-style options may be exercised only on a given day before expiration, during their lifetime some in-the-money contracts (notably puts) may commonly be priced and trade below parity, or below their intrinsic value.

The U.S. Energy Department's Better Buildings Alliance is supporting the Lighting Energy Efficiency in Parking (LEEP) Campaign, which to date has helped more than 100 U.S. businesses and organizations with planning or installing energy efficient lighting in their parking lots and garages.
In the past year, these organizations have committed to install efficient lighting across more than 270 million square feet of parking space – cutting energy use by up to 90 percent. Building owners spend more than $6 billion to light their parking lots and garages, and much of this could be saved if parking lots and garages were upgraded to the most efficient lighting solutions. LEEP Campaign participants have upgraded their facilities to high efficiency metal halide, fluorescent, and LED solutions that last three times longer than their previous technology and by using controls are able to reduce energy use when parking facilities are not in use.
The DOE recently joined LEEP Campaign co-organizers, including the Building Owners and Managers Association, the Green Parking Council and the International Facility Management Association, to recognize 12 organizations for leading the way in efficient lighting. Combined, these 12 winners are saving nearly 45 million kilowatt-hours and $4 million per year by upgrading to high efficiency lighting in 500,000 parking spaces nationwide.

A: Most planners who have booked events at resorts are familiar with a little thing called the "resort fee," which can range from $10 per day on up. Generally, resort fees are non-negotiable, unlike other expenses such as room rates, meeting room rental, and so forth. Those who are unfamiliar with these fees - or who simply don't understand them - may find them to be unreasonable or consider them just another source of revenue for the resort.
In reality, resort fees are designed to cover the costs of many onsite services offered. Most resort fees include expenses such as internet access in guestrooms, daily newspapers, telephone calls, in-room coffee service, and use of pools, fitness centers, etc.

The New and Improved (??) Facebook of Yahoo
The photo montage and guide I did of the Facebook management ranks of late was well received, so it is clearly time for one for Yahoo, if only to aid those completely confused by all the comings and goings in upper management.
One difference compared to the all-male revue at Facebook (I know there are some fine women execs at the social network, but they are not at the tippy-top), women play key roles at Yahoo.
So here's the latest dream team head shots and a little background on each below the photos:
Yahoo co-founder and now CEO Jerry Yang is holed up on his 100-day vision quest, trying to channel some of the sass and energy of the early days of Yahoo, when life was a purple and yellow heaven of big, wet kisses from the press, a rocketing stock price and no irksome algorithm twins Larry and Sergey.
Those were the days, my friend, he thought they'd never end.
Well, they did–with a thump.
But Yang has been through a downturn before–remember 2001?–so it would be stupid to count him out.
Passionate, serious, often sarcastic (although I suspect that might just be to me and I deserve it), he is not the young fogey he appears to be. Plus, people at the company, for the most part, are rooting for him.
Second-in-command Sue Decker needs no introduction anymore at Yahoo, having engineered the latest management shuffle wherein most key elements–save tech–of the company report to her.
In other words, boys: That's Ms. Decker to you!
The former analyst-turned-CFO-turned-capo-de-tutti-capi now seems assured of the CEO spot, but only if she can catch the falling knife of the stock and get things a little more stabilized. That means she will be under pressure for results as of yesterday.
Though plagued with the image of not having much operational experience, you might not want to bet against the Harvard Business School graduate.
She is also very aloof to the press–she has shunned interviews for the most part, so far, and we're all starting to take it personally–and has the formal demeanor of someone much older.
But her pulled-together, plain-spoken, no-fancy-gimmicks style has gone over well with Wall Street and the Yahoos are warming up to it.
Hilary Schneider got out of the dying newspaper business at Knight Ridder, where she co-managed print operations as well as its digital division, just as all hell was breaking loose and joined Yahoo last fall.
Talk about jumping out of the frying pan into the fire!
But Schneider knows from trouble: She was president and CEO of the once high-flying Red Herring Communications, was president and CEO of Times Mirror Interactive and was at the Baltimore Sun–all of which faced significant challenges.
While some are worried about her lack of serious experience selling ads, most at Yahoo like her a lot, calling her a straight-shooter and easy to work with.
She is obviously a quick learner, although the curve just got awfully steep, even for yet another Harvard Business Schooler.
Wild card Jeff Weiner just got a lot more under his purview in the latest reorg or, more precisely, got back what was taken from him in a previous reorg.
While Schneider has got all the big money divisions compared to the smaller commerce and local stuff Weiner now has, he also has command over all the consumer-facing properties. Mail! Media! Search! All the stuff Yahoo is much better at than Google (except the search part)!
While some Yahoos insist that the protege of former CEO Terry Semel will eventually leave the company, Weiner appears to have a remarkable staying power.
And given that a lot of Yahoo's future is riding on the mostly top-notch products his divisions create, stamina will be key here.
Blake Jorgensen is the CFO and he looks like one. I got not so much, as he just arrived at Yahoo, although I did interview him briefly here.
Was best man in Decker's wedding. Harvard Business School, of course, in this excessively Ivy League group. Former big-wheel investment banker and manager at Thomas Weisel Partners and Montgomery Securities. Serious.
The rap: Never been a big-company CFO. Otherwise, seems to be a team player who will follow Decker's orders. After all, she was his predecessor in the job.
Co-founder David Filo is often left out of the corporate tussle news at Yahoo, given his quiet and unassuming nature. (True story: I had to spend the Y2K New Year's Eve night with Filo at Yahoo HQ for that idiotic story and he said about 37 words total all night. Fun!)
But make no mistake, Filo is no shrinking violet when he wants something and he remains the heart and soul of the tech part of the company and a critical symbol to his loyal engineers.
Thus, Filo will be key until Yahoo brings in a new top CTO. Plus, he represents the kind of stalwart continuity Yahoo needs right now amidst all the change.
The rest of the crew: Oh, there are a lot more, of course, but to name a few: mobile guru and resident obstreperous entrepreneur Marco Boerries; new shaking-things-up-a-lot-in-PR's Jill Nash; controversial HR head Libby Sartain; politically aware Peanut-Butter-Manifesto guy Brad Garlinghouse; ivory tower thinker and funny guy Bradley Horowitz; former Doritos and Cheetos cheerleader and marketing head Cammie Dunaway; and super-duper-nice U.S. ad sales guy Dave Karnstedt, whom I interviewed here recently.

BOSTON � State Rep. Carolyn C. Dykema has asked state gaming officials to deem Foxwoods Massachusetts unsuitable for a state casino license for its proposed $1 billion casino in Milford, citing criminal backgrounds of several Mashantucket Pequot tribal officials, corporate financial problems and the company's track record on projects in other states.
In a three-page letter to the gaming commission, the Ms. Dykema, D-Holliston, cited the recent federal convictions of the past chairman and the treasurer of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Council on major federal embezzlement charges along with earlier convictions of the chief of staff at the company's Connecticut casino.
In addition, she cited public reports that Foxwoods defaulted on $2.3 billion in debt in 2010, resulting in millions of dollars in losses to investors. Despite a recent financial restructuring, she said, the company still holds $1.7 billion in debt and a CCC+ credit rating from Standard and Poor's, "casting doubt on its ability to meet future obligations" in the event of adverse business conditions.
Moreover, Ms. Dykema said, the company has fought with the town of Ledyard in Connecticut for seven years over the town's attempts to collect taxes on business assets, and said a gaming license awarded in Philadelphia in 2006 was rescinded over a lack of progress on a casino project there.
Foxwoods President and CEO Scott Butera said in response that there is nothing new in Ms. Dykema's claims and that the company is addressing them in the ongoing background and suitability investigation being conducted by the Gaming Commission on each of the companies bidding for casino licenses.
Foxwoods is competing with casino proposals for Everett by Wynn Resorts and at Suffolk Downs in Boston, for the one casino license to be awarded in Eastern Massachusetts.
"Everything in Rep. Dykema's letter has been or is being considered and thoroughly vetted by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission," Mr. Butera said. "To think that these issues aren't being addressed is not accurate. At the end of the day, we believe our best practices will stand up at the suitability hearing."
Ms. Dykema said Foxwoods has demonstrated "a pattern of ambivalence toward criminal activity and corruption" with regard to a number of criminal activities including the conviction of the former chairman of the tribal council of embezzling $100,000 over a two year-period. She said he remained in that position after he was asked to stop the criminal behavior.
In a statement about the letter, Ms. Dykema said the license application should be rejected. "This applicant's history provides ample evidence for why they are not a suitable partner for the state or our municipalities. The Gaming Commission has a responsibility to act in the interest of taxpayers and dismiss this applicant from further consideration," she said.
The lawmaker also cited the fact that the treasurer of the council resigned earlier this month after pleading guilty to embezzling $700,000 and pointed to three prior criminal convictions of Foxwoods' chief of staff, who oversees public safety and the police force at the company's Connecticut casino.
Ms. Dykema also said the company has a poor track record managing projects outside Connecticut. She cited rescission of the Philadelphia license, and withdrawal from a partnership for a California casino in 2009.
She asked the commission to investigate those incidents and requested the company be found "unsuitable and (be) removed from consideration for a Massachusetts gaming license."
Each of the casino license applicants is undergoing a background investigation, a process that includes a hearing before the commission on suitability. The commission held a suitability hearing on the Suffolk Downs proposal Tuesday, but no date has been set for a suitability hearing on the Milford proposal. Town voters in Milford are scheduled to vote on a host community agreement with Foxwoods on Nov. 19.

Georgia woman convicted of perjury out of prison
ATLANTA (AP) — A woman convicted of lying during the investigation of her husband's killing outside an Atlanta-area preschool was released from prison early Monday, Georgia officials say.
Sneiderman had served about 10 months in prison since she was sentenced in August to serve five years with credit for the year she had spent under house arrest while awaiting trial. Georgia Department of Corrections spokeswoman Gwendolyn Hogan tells The Associated Press that Andrea Sneiderman was released to family members after midnight.
Her husband, Rusty Sneiderman, was gunned down in November 2010 outside the preschool where he had just dropped off their son in Atlanta's northern suburbs. Andrea Sneiderman's boss, Hemy Neuman, was convicted in the killing but found to be mentally ill.
Prosecutors say Andrea Sneiderman lied to police and to a jury about a romantic relationship between her and Neuman. She has denied any such relationship.
A State Board of Pardons and Paroles document shows Sneiderman's parole runs through Aug. 21, 2017.

Police say Richard Watson tackled his wife, grabbed her head and shoved her face into the family dog's water bowl.
An Orange City woman nearly drowned when her infuriated husband held her face down in their dog's water bowl after an argument over a frozen pizza, police said.
As old rock and rollers belted out tunes on TV during a benefit concert Wednesday night, 59-year-old Debra Watson thought she was going to die, Orange City police said.
As a result, her husband, Richard Watson, is sitting in the Volusia County Branch Jail, charged with attempted murder and battery.
The episode is the second time this week in Volusia County an argument about food ended in injury or death.
It all started just before 10 p.m. at the Watson's residence on Volusia Avenue, police said, when Debra Watson asked Richard Watson to watch the much-hailed "12-12-12 Concert" with her on TV. Richard Watson was watching TV in another room of the house and once his program was over, he sat down with his wife to watch her show, an arrest report shows.
When Debra Watson brought out a frozen pizza that had been cooking in the oven, though, things got heated, an arrest report shows.
Complaining that the pizza crust was "raw," Richard Watson flung his dinner plate into the front door, police said. Debra Watson followed suit, throwing her own plate on the floor, the arrest report states.
That prompted Richard Watson to tackle his wife, grab her head and shove her face into the family dog's water bowl, police said. The bowl is 5 inches across and had about 3 inches of water in it, police said.
"She felt her life was going to end," said Orange City Cmdr. Jason Sampsell.
Debra Watson told police that while her husband was holding her head down in the water, she heard him say, "I'm going to kill you . . .," the report states.
She said she had no idea whether her husband was keeping her head down with his hand or whether he had his knee on her head, the report shows.
Somehow, Debra Watson broke free. But then she found herself up against a corner of the living room near the front door as Richard Watson tried to strangle her, police said.
When officers arrived at the house, Richard Watson told them he had only held his wife in order to prevent her from breaking any more dishes. He said he never hit her and that she "gets mad for no reason," the report states.
Neighbors told police that the row had been going on for at least an hour before officers arrived and that they could hear things breaking inside the apartment.
In a brief telephone interview Thursday, Debra Watson said she had no idea what the fight was about and blamed the underdone pizza on her husband, saying he was the one who cooked it. She didn't want to talk about the attack.
Earlier this week, police say a 55-year-old Holly Hill man shot his roommate to death after the pair argued about how to cook pork chops. The shooter, Thomas Hahn, is also at the Branch Jail, charged with second-degree murder.

text: Hunts Point Playground, located in the neighborhood of the same name in the southwest Bronx, is named for Thomas Hunt, one of the first settlers to occupy the area in the 1670s. One can easily observe the point, protruding out into the East River, on any map of the Bronx. In 1874, New York City, which at the time included only Manhattan, began to annex sections of the Bronx. Hunts Point, originally part of West Farms in what was then lower Westchester County, became the newest part of New York City. The area underwent significant growth and development after the IRT subway line to Manhattan was built in 1904. Hunts Point is famous for the Hunts Point Terminal Market, the largest wholesale produce market in the United States.

What's Next in Washington
The last five games the Washington Redskins have played have been some of the most difficult to watch football that I can remember seeing in recent history. After each game I am left thinking, well, it can't get worse than that. However that debacle that the team displayed yesterday was disgusting, embarrassing, and just plain shameful. Shame on the players, shame on Mike Shanahan, shame on the Redskins' organization.

Raising USAID's stature in the world
As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton has been a visible and vocal champion of development. She has called development an "indispensable foreign policy tool for advancing American interests and solving global problems." But her promise to make the U.S. Agency for International Development the premier development agency in the world remains a promise in progress.
Clinton is committed to development for its own sake. The best example is her support for women's rights and contributions, though her development leadership, expertise and passion are wide ranging. Clinton has elevated development in U.S. foreign policy discourse — an important contribution in itself.
Story Continued Below
But Clinton has elevated development within, rather than alongside, diplomacy.
Clinton announced early in her term that she wanted USAID to become the world's premier development agency. She chose and supported an impressive leader for the agency: Rajiv Shah. Shah has put USAID on the road to sensible internal reforms and revitalization. Against all odds, including at times from Clinton's State Department, he has engineered the restoration of USAID's policy and budget offices, set up an office focused on supporting innovations in service delivery and technologies, harnessed the American private agro-industry in support of food security in Africa and instituted a modern evaluation policy.
But I wish Clinton had pushed for more autonomy for USAID — if not as a Cabinet-level agency, then at least the status of the Overseas Private Investment Corp., and the Millennium Challenge Corp., as proposed by former colleagues who have since served in the Obama administration — and an explicit policy role for the USAID administrator. Foreign policy decisions on Mali, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Palestine, India — and even Mexico and Venezuela — plus climate, energy security, the farm bill and trade policy all would benefit from input from development officials alongside their diplomacy and defense counterparts. The point is not that the long-term development perspective should dominate foreign policy decision making, given the tough realities of what are sometimes short-term diplomatic and defense imperatives. But neither should diplomacy and short-term security always rule the day. All options and trade-offs should be considered.

if (dd-wrt + xbox 360 == fail) then tomato;
Having had problems with my ISP's modem/router/firewall/wireless device, I wanted to bridge to a separate device to handle the routing, firewall and wireless.
I have been using a Linksys WRT54G version 1 for this task. The firmware had to be flashed with DD-WRT, which is a pretty good firmware all in all, but seemed to be stretching the limits of the version 1 WRT54G.
The vintage DD-WRT build, which is the appropriate flavour for the WRT54Gv1 is a stripped-down version of DD-WRT which doesn't contain some of the newer features. Although it was fairly stable, it got slow and unresponsive at times over wireless, and had some trouble maintaining long-term RDP sessions over wireless, dropping the connections maybe twice an hour for a minute or so each time. Although QoS may have been an issue, my clever rebuttal is that "it doesn't work for me out of the box": I'm lazy as fuck, what do you expect?
All in all, DD-WRT worked better than the Speedtouch 780 as a router, and better than the stock Linksys or OpenWRT firmwares. My main problem with DD-WRT was that for some black magic voodoo reason, the XBox 360 was unable to join the wireless network. It could detect it, discover encryption method, but was unable to connect to the network no matter how hard I tried, no matter how hard I cried into my pillow.
After acquiring some expert/professional advice (i.e., googling the interwebs), I installed tomato the other day, and lo and behold—the XBox was able to connect without problems. Tomato seems more responsive than the DD-WRT thus far, which is another bonus.
I'm not sure about the newer WRT54G models, but if you have a version 1, you may want to consider using tomato rather than the stock Linksys, DD-WRT or OpenWRT firmwares.

Oskar.estung necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 9 diseños de 3 diseñadores freelance.
My Name is Oskar, 27 years old and live in Sweden.
Ive made hompages since i was 15 and all of them is about humor such as funny videos, pictures, links etc etc.
The audience is probably most guys 10-17. But i would hope to make the site for anyone. Girls and older people like 20-40. Anyone who like to spend some time.
I need a start page design that will present different material in different boxes. (See attached picture). The example page is lök.com, lök means onion in swedish. A theme with funny onios is OK. For example, the grades of a movie can have 4 out of 5 onions maybe? Onions for the theme is only appricated if you have a really good idea or if it makes it clean and funny. Otherwise a regular design is OK. Its up to you to present your idea.
1. The different categories (videos,pictures,games,jokes and links) will have their own color theme. For example the video box presenting the videos will have a blue theme. The box presenting games will have a yellow theme. and so on..
2. Small ikons representing the votes from a scale 1-5. In example picture it is stars, but any fun or good looking idea is OK.
3. Design for boxes in the footer holding random posts and contact details. The links in contacts is contact, add to favorite and advertising.
5. Design for login and menu.
6. Thumnails in category posts can be from 80x80px to 100x100px or 4:3 ratio (100x75 for example).
7. The design MUST have the specified sizes in the picture. Text and fonts must support swedish caracters å,ä,ö...

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Four Georgia College softball players have been selected to the 2014 Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Softball All-Academic Team while three other players received Honorable Mention, announced the conference office today. Georgia College led all PBC teams in selections (four), honorable mentions (three) and overall (seven).
Of the four Bobcats selected to this year's PBC All-Academic Team, sophomore Marisa Boyette (Marietta, Ga.) had the highest grade point average (GPA) with a 3.71 as an accounting major. Junior Kristen Humphries (Columbus, Ga.), recorded a 3.57 GPA while majoring in Biology.
Also making the squad, with 3.38 and 3.37 GPAs respectively, was senior Whitney Okvist (Kennesaw, Ga.) and sophomore Abi LeRoy (Dublin, Ga.). The former is a special education major, while the latter is majoring in community health.
Receiving honorable mention recognition for Georgia College was senior Emily Hammond (Gainesville, Ga.), junior Mikayla Sparks (Macon, Ga.) and sophomore Becca Olson (Evans, Ga.).
The team is part of a season-long program recognizing the outstanding accomplishments of PBC student-athletes in the classroom as well as on the field. To be eligible for the All-Academic team, a student-athlete must 1) participate in at least half of her team's events and be either a starter or significant contributor; 2) achieved a 3.30 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) and 3) completed at least one full academic year at his or her current institution.
Of the seven current Bobcats being honored, only Humphries has been recognized as an honorable mention recipient last year although six have received previous recognition by the PBC for academic achievement as a presidential, gold or silver scholar.
Receiving past presidential accolades was Okvist (twice), Humphries and Olson. Previous gold scholars include Humphries and LeRoy, while Boyette and Sparks achieved silver status.
The 20-member 2014 PBC All-Academic Team is comprised of players from 10 teams. With Georgia College's four selections leading the pack, only two other schools (Young Harris College, Georgia Southwestern State University) had more than two players selected (three). The Mountain Lions matched the Bobcats in honorable mention selectees with three and together Georgia College and Young Harris accounted for nearly half of all the 14 total honorable mentions.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at @GCBobcats on Twitter and Facebook for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCBobcats.com for more information, and to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GC Athletics Hall of Fame.

Hi all,
I'm currently working on a project for the Playstation Move controllers and PSVR.
As you might know the moves don't have an analog stick for movement and controlling movement in a game is done via the accelerometer.
I found out on reddit that you can use the DS4 for movement simultaneously in some games (Skyrim! ) and so I had this idea:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PSVR/comments/ ... _for_move/
After doing this I searched for a way to emulate a DS4 with an microcontroller and found your awesome project.
I want to use the four analog inputs on the Arduino Leonardo to read two analog sticks and use them as the axis of the DS4 and after reading through a bit of the EMUPS4 source I think it should be doable.
Would this be possible without a PC?
I have read all the info I could find about the DS4 emulation but don't get the authentication part. Is the DualShock plugged in only for the Bluetooth pairing or also for USB communication?
Would love if someone here could help me.
Thank you in advance!
Sorry I just found the info on page 7 of your blog. Looks like it isn't supported.

The overall effect of imports under the Andean Trade Preference Act (ATPA) on the U.S. economy and consumers continued to be negligible in 2004, reports the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC).
The ITC, an independent, nonpartisan, factfinding federal agency, recently issued its eleventh report in a series monitoring imports under ATPA. The ATPA program affords preferential tariff treatment to most products of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. The ATPA's goal is to promote the development of sustainable economic alternatives to drug crop production by offering alternative, legal Andean products broader access to the U.S. market. The four Andean countries are the source of the coca plants from which most of the world's cocaine is produced or are major transit areas for cocaine.
ATPA was renewed and amended on August 6, 2002, under the Andean Trade Promotion and Drug Eradication Act (ATPDEA), which broadened the scope of products eligible for tariff preferences. The year 2004 marked the second full year that ATPDEA was in effect.
Following are highlights of the report, Andean Trade Preference Act: Impact on U.S. Industries and Consumers and on Drug Crop Eradication and Crop Substitution, Eleventh Report, 2004:
Andean Trade Preference Act: Impact on U.S. Industries and Consumers and on Drug Crop Eradication and Crop Substitution, Eleventh Report, 2004 (Inv. No. 332-352, USITC Publication No. 3803, September 2005) will be available on the ITC's Internet site at www.usitc.gov. The publication will also be available at federal depository libraries in the United States. A CD-ROM or printed copy of the report may be requested by calling 202-205-1809 or by writing to the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, SW, Washington, DC 20436.

Vince Vaughn Does NOT Look Like This Anymore
As long as we've known Vince Vaughn, he's been the funny, cool guy - and he's ALWAYS looked the same.
I kind of liked it that way.
Well, the 46-year-old actor is barely recognisable in new pics, looking more like Bruce Willis than his usual self.
He's bald! Yes, that's #VinceVaughn! Yes, I'm very turned on by it!!! https://t.co/aJYkPST8ij pic.twitter.com/huqp8BqhVt— Perez (@ThePerezHilton) September 9, 2016
In fact, he looks at least 10 years older with the new 'do - and it has some fans freaking out.
Rest easy though guys, according to a report on Entertainment Tonight, Vince has simply shaved his head for a role in the upcoming film Brawl in Cell Block 99.

When Black Friday falls you know it's got to be. Don't let it fall on me.
– Donald Fagen
This week marks the last moment of calm many of us will know in 2012.
After the best meal of the year, Americans everywhere will officially start the holiday shopping season with a daylong bargain binge that has come to be known as Black Friday. It's a celebration of shopping consisting of long lines for dubious deals and an inevitable rash of Wal-Mart riots and Target tramplings.
You'd think there were enough cautionary tales around to scare us all from ever leaving our homes. But no, the lure of the big sale is too great. People close to me have divulged their irrational fears that a gift, if not bought in November, will disappear from store shelves for good, as if such a thing were really possible in this age of the assembly line. Whole marketing campaigns are riding on holiday product availability, I argue. But it's no use. The fever is almost upon us.
I've used this space to complain about Black Friday before. I don't dislike the day because it's a symbol of the commercialization of the holiday season. I think that relationship is not at all causal. It's more a symptom.
My problem with Black Friday is that it puts an enormous amount of angst at the end of what is really the only true holiday we have left.
Thanksgiving has resisted the marketing putsch that has leveled nearly all of our other big holidays. There are no cards. There are no gifts. There is only food, and, for those who like it, a Detroit Lions football game. There are other get-together holidays that have resisted the market – Memorial Day comes to mind – but none are as big a deal as Thanksgiving.
And those barbecue days are incidental to the holiday theme. The great thing about Thanksgiving is that the meal is the whole point. It's a reminder that we do have it really good. We're alive, at a table and not without.
I'm not saying people shouldn't shop for the holidays. By all means, buy your gifts. I just wish we could wait until all that Turkey has been digested. Is that too much to ask?
So what are some good ways to combat Black Friday? Good question.
For one, you can start by relaxing around the house, continuing the celebration with turkey leftovers. How about a nice turkey and cranberry sauce sandwich?
If relaxing isn't your thing, start a book or a project. It's supposed to be nice this week. There are leaves to be raked and porches in need of paint.
After a hard day of work or play, check out the Black Friday Freak-Out at the Venetian Club. It's an evening of local music and food where you'll have a good time and enjoy the knowledge that you are not at all likely to be trampled for a wide screen television.
Beyond that, there are also plenty of ways to volunteer. Many local schools are organizing drives not only to aid the local poor but to assist those who have been displaced by Hurricane Sandy.
The point is, there are way too many things that are better to do than hitting the mall this Friday. Give yourself a break and wait till December. It's the decent thing to do.

Corona Attempts Racing on Last Day, June 29, 1999
OCALA, Fla., June 29, 1999 -- New Mexico Tech's Corona will attempt to finish up Sunrayce 99 today under its own sunshine-provided power as it undertakes the 82-mile-long last leg from Ocala, Fla. to Epcot at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
After considering yesterday's forecast of severe thunderstorms for northern Florida, New Mexico Tech Solar Racing Team members opted to transport Corona on the back of a trailer into Ocala, Fla. and it proved to be a wise choice: None of the 29 competing teams was able to complete yesterday's rain-soaked 199-mile leg on their own power and all had to be trailered into the finish line.
Corona remains at 27th in the overall standings going into today's final run of the solar-powered road rally.
Teams from colleges and universities throughout North America, including New Mexico Tech, have been racing through five Eastern Seaboard states the past ten days, from Washington, D.C., toward this afternoon's finish at Epcot at Walt Disney World Resort, just south of Orlando, Fla. The team with the lowest cumulative time over the 10-day road rally wins Sunrayce 99.
The top three finishing teams will receive trophies and cash awards. Scholastic achievement awards will also be granted for technical innovation, engineering excellence, artistic talents, teamwork, and good sportsmanship.
The biennial solar-car race was created by General Motors and the U. S. Department of Energy in 1990 to promote educational excellence in mathematics, science, and engineering by offering students a unique and highly valuable "hands-on" educational opportunity. Electronic Data Systems Corp. (EDS) joined GM and the DOE as a co-sponsor of the event in 1993.
