Jury Recommends Death for Mo. Couple's Killer
LEBANON - A jury has recommended the death penalty for a man convicted of killing an elderly couple who interrupted a burglary at their south-central Missouri home in July 2010.
The jury that was brought to Laclede County from Franklin County deliberated about four hours Friday afternoon before reaching its recommendation for 33-year-old Jesse Driskill of Lebanon, Missouri.
The same panel convicted Driskill on Wednesday of first-degree murder in the deaths of 82-year-old Johnnie Wilson and 76-year-old Coleen Wilson at their secluded home near Lebanon. Both were shot, and Coleen Wilson was raped before their killer tried to burn their bodies.
Laclede County Circuit Judge Kenneth Hayden will consider the jury's recommendation when he sentences Driskill on November 5th.
Besides murder, Driskill was also convicted of rape, sodomy, burglary and armed criminal action.

Allendale, Mich. - The Ferris State University women's indoor track and field team recorded eight top-eight individual performances and the Bulldog men had six individuals finish in the top 11 during Friday (Jan. 22) night's Bob Eubanks Open hosted by Grand Valley State University inside the Laker Turf Building at Allendale, Mich.
The non-scoring indoor competition included a large number of competitors from schools across the state and region such as FSU, GVSU, Saginaw Valley State, Tiffin, Davenport, Aquinas, St. Francis (Ind.), Bethel (Ind.), Olivet Nazarene (Ill.), Calvin, Spring Arbor, Windsor (Ontario), Indiana Tech, Alma and others.
The Bulldogs' strongest showing came in the women's mile run where they claimed the top three places and four of the top five overall.

Farmington Bay • Most Utahns are familiar with the story about the California gulls saving Mormon pioneer crops by eating the horde of crickets that threatened to leave them hungry.
Few, however, are aware of a similar story involving a symbol of the United States. It happens every winter at Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area when hundreds of bald eagles descend to feast on carp.
It may not sound glamorous, but wildlife enthusiasts and photographers flock to the bay when it happens.
"Honestly, it was what got me into photography," said Rob Daugherty, of Rob's Wildlife. "I was looking around on Flicker and some eagle pictures popped up that were taken locally. I drove out and couldn't believe what I was seeing. I had never experienced anything like that before. I had heard of three or four in a group, but nothing like the 100 to 400 I saw concentrated in one area."
Non-native carp may not be threatening pioneer crops, but they are impacting waterfowl that rely on the marshes of Farmington Bay because they hurt water quality and limit vegetation growth.
As a result, bay managers take steps to reduce the carp population by lowering water, then using a naturally occurring toxin to kill the fish a feast in which the eagles are eager to indulge.
"The eagles will certainly utilize and take full advantage of the carp when they are available," said Bob Walters, watchable wildlife coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. "It is basically a free lunch."
Rotenone, the chemical used to remove the carp, is controversial, but used widely across the world to remove fish populations. Utah wildlife officials say rotenone is not a threat to other wildlife, birds or humans at the applied concentrations.
People have been heading to the marshes and along river corridors across the state for years to watch for bald eagles. In 1990 Walters noticed a large concentration of the raptors at Farmington Bay and set up the first Bald Eagle Day free public viewing event. It is held each February and now typically includes Farmington Bay and four or five other locations.
In addition to being a bird most people get to see on a regular basis, bald eagles inspire awe for other reasons.
"I hear people all the time say they can't believe how many eagles there are and how close they are to Salt Lake City," Walters said. "Their size and appearance add to the wonder, but there is something about seeing the symbols of freedom and liberty of our country that really makes it special for people."
Bill Fenimore, a Utah birding expert and advocate, said as many as 408 individual eagles have been spotted on a single day at Farmington Bay. They usually start showing up in mid-November as part of a fall migration south and then disappear about the middle of March to migrate north.
Daugherty has learned a lot since that first trip to Farmington Bay in 2008. He knows the best times to view the eagles and the prime locations. He now spends parts of nearly every day in February at the management area and he is not always alone.
"You kind of learn when the best photo opportunities are coming," he said. "If you see an eagle circling another eagle you can expect to see some kind of an interaction such as a battle for a fish. It is fascinating to see the beauty and to learn how they behave."
Daugherty has his own impressive collection of bald eagle images on the web now. His work draws the attention of other wildlife photographers eager to experience the wonder of the Farmington Bay eagles.
Jerry Alt of Chicago contacted Daugherty last winter and asked if he could tag along for a couple of days. Alt had spent time photographing eagles in other locations, but was drawn by the ability to be close enough to get high quality close-ups.
"You can sit in the car and get these amazing shots. There is an intimacy and breadth to the pictures you can get at Farmington Bay that is hard to replicate in other places," Alt said. "One of my first shots was of an eagle coming right at us. I looked in to take the picture and had a face full of eagle in my lens."
Alt said he sold images from that first day at Farmington Bay "before they were even downloaded. I'm coming back and bringing friends."

During his early days at college, Feustel worked as an auto mechanic. The skills acquired probably helped him in the challenging STS-125 mission, the fifth and final Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission. The mission extended and improved the observatory's capabilities.
In completing his first mission, Feustel logged almost 13 days in space, and about 20 hours in three spacewalks. The spacewalkers overcame frozen bolts, stripped screws and stuck handrails.
Following several years working as a geophysicist, Feustel was selected as an astronaut candidate by NASA in July 2000.

Join the Rams on Sunday, Feb. 12 as Virginia Commonwealth University Athletics hosts the Second Annual celebration of National Girls & Women in Sports Day. It's a great opportunity for youth girls (ages 8-12) to learn more about sports and nutrition. All seven women's sports teams at VCU are joining forces to promote and educate girls about participating in athletics while following a healthy lifestyle. Finish the day by cheering on the VCU women's basketball team as the Rams face James Madison University at 2 p.m. Registration is limited to 100 participants on a first-come, first-served basis and all participants must register in advance. Please click HERE to register!
This year, the theme of the Day is "Title IX at 40: In it for the Long Run." For 26 years, National Girls and Women in Sports Day has motivated girls and women to get active and stay active. Being involved in sports and staying physically active equips girls and women with self-confidence and strength to flourish in all areas of their life.
NGWSD began in 1987 as a single event in Washington, D.C. to honor Olympic volleyball star Flo Hyman. Since then the day has grown into a nationwide celebration across all 50 states. The day can always be attributed back to the work Hyman did as an athlete and for her work to assure equality for women's sports. Hyman died of Marfan's Syndrome in 1986 while competing in a volleyball tournament in Japan. Since then, NGWSD has become a day to acknowledge the past accomplishments of female athletes and recognize current achievements of women in sports.

As many AR7 based devices do, Linksys ADSL2MUE violates GPL license because only partial sources are released. Visit GPL Violations web site for more information on this.
Software features
With the default oficial firmware this device has four modes of operation:
- Router with PPPoA over the WAN
- Router with PPPoE over the WAN
- Router with RFC1483 bridged over the WAN
- Bridge with RFC1483 bridged over the WAN
All three router modes NAT support is fair enough for outgoing purposes but will not let you do any port forwarding to the inside.
The only modem capabilities the device shows is called brige mode. This mode interconnects a native ethernet network or an ethernet over USB network with a RFC1484 bridge mode network (ethernet switched over ATM/ADSL).

Liam Scarlett's Hansel and Gretel, the choreographer's first full-length narrative ballet, opened in the Linbury Studio last week. Read the audience reaction to the opening night. Based on the popular Brothers Grimm fairytale, the ballet explores the sinister side to the well-known tale.
'The original fairytales are horrific,' explains Liam. 'The story has devious, selfish children, a horrible stepmother, an incredibly cowardly father and a witch that is a cannibalistic monster. I wanted to delve into the darker animalistic side of it.'

The ballet, which features an original score by Dan Jones and designs by Jon Bausor, is set in the style of a 1950s horror movie. Watch an interview with Jon Bausor to find out more about the set.
There are only six characters in the ballet, and Liam worked closely with the dancers to create the roles.
'It's been a real collaborative process,' he explains. 'I want the dancers to feel comfortable with the characters that they are creating so they are not imposed or superficial at all.'
The first cast featured Leanne Cope as Gretel, James Hay as Hansel, Laura Morera as The Stepmother, Bennet Gartside as The Father, Brian Maloney as The Witch and Steven McRae as The Sandman.
'They are six dancers that I admire and have worked with a lot,' Liam continues. 'I know them inside out and back to front, and they know me as a choreographer. I've been able to really push them to their limits."
Hansel and Gretel returns in the 2013/14 Season

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Even though Kobe Bryant and the Lakers were able to escape with a 100-93 win Friday night over the Charlotte Bobcats, the Los Angeles star was left feeling "irritated" after the game.
Irritated at his team's shot selection.
Irritated at his team's selfishness.
And especially irritated that the Lakers needed to overcome a 20-point deficit to beat the NBA's worst team.
"We have to play the right way," Bryant said. "When we have shots available, we take them. If we don't, move the ball on. It can't be about individual touches. It can't be about that."
Still, the Lakers won.
Bryant shrugged off a scoreless first half — he attempted only two shots — to finish with 20 points, eight assists and seven rebounds and the Lakers improved to 4-2 on their road trip heading into Sunday's game in Miami against the Heat.
Bryant didn't come out for warm-ups to start the second half.
But he was there to provide the spark the lackluster Lakers needed in the third quarter. He scored 14 of his points in the final period, including a driving layup with 40 seconds left to push the lead to five and help seal the win.
"In the second half I got in position where I could catch it and turn and shoot it a little bit," Bryant said. "They were reluctant to double team because we started knocking down some shots. I think that makes the game a lot easier."
Steve Nash and Earl Clark each had 17 points and Dwight Howard had 12 points, all in the first half, and 11 rebounds for the Lakers (24-27).
Howard played his second straight game despite nursing an injured right shoulder.
"Continuity," Howard said when asked of the Lakers offensive woes. "We have to do a better job of spreading everything out and moving and getting everybody involved. When we do that, we are pretty good."
Byron Mullens and Gerald Henderson each had 20 points for the Bobcats, who have lost six straight.
Charlotte led 71-51 in the third quarter, but the Lakers stormed back behind a 9-0 run. They cut the lead to one on a driving layup by Bryant with 6:06 left in the game and Antawn Jamison gave the Lakers their first lead with 4:46 remaining on a left-handed finger roll in the lane.
The Lakers took the lead for good at 92-91 when Jodie Meeks made a 3-pointer with 3:02 left in the game.
Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni wasn't pleased with the overall effort, but liked that his team bounced back after a 116-95 loss to the Boston Celtics the night before.
"We just got to be able to put our earplugs in, or mufflers on, or blinders on," D'Antoni said. "It's like the Kentucky Derby with horses, just get those blinders on and just get out there and run.
"We have so much stuff going on out here that every little thing is blown to bits and whether it is right or wrong or blown out of proportion it is. But, it affects us. It is a distraction. It saps energy. We got to be able to just close that out somehow."
The Lakers have been unpredictable this season, particularly on the road where they were 8-17 coming into this game.
Before Friday night's game against Charlotte, D'Antoni was asked if the Bobcats were a dangerous opponent for his team.
"We're playing, aren't we? (Then) there's a danger," D'Antoni said with a laugh. "If they play the national anthem, we're in danger."
He was right.
The Lakers started slow, looking out of sync just as they have for a good portion of the season as pick and rolls turned into turnovers and layups on the other end.
Nash had four early turnovers and Howard threw a pass across court that hit the side of the backboard.
The Lakers turned the ball over five times in the game's first eight minutes and fell behind 20-9.
Bryant missed his only two shots in the first half, his slowest start since March 31, 2012, when he went three quarters without scoring a point before beating the New Orleans Hornets on a game-winning shot.
The game was similar to earlier this season when the Bobcats led by 18 in Los Angeles only to squander the lead.
"We had them down pretty much the whole game," Bobcats guard Kemba Walker said. "You know, they made a really good run. Kobe made a lot of good plays, made the right passes and guys just made shots."
NOTES: Bobcats rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist returned to action Friday after missing two games with a concussion. ... At halftime Bryant had five rebounds, two assists and no points. ... The Bobcats had been one of three teams with a .500 or better record all-time against the Lakers, but fell to 8-9 with Friday night's loss.

ST. LOUIS (AP) Vladimir Sobotka scored from close range at 2:16 of overtime to give the St. Louis Blues a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Sunday night.
St. Louis is 5-1, its best start since winning seven of its first eight in 1997-98. Coming off a 4-3 victory in Dallas on Saturday night, the Blues also improved to 3-0 at home.
Minnesota's Dany Heatley forced the overtime, tying it at 4 when he batted the puck out of the air with 4:08 left in regulation for his fourth goal of the season. The Wild have lost three straight.
Chris Stewart, Barret Jackman, Wade Redden and Patrik Berglund also scored for St. Louis, and Brian Elliott, getting his first home start, made 12 saves.
Zach Parise had two goals and an assist for Minnesota after also scoring twice in the Wild's 5-3 loss in Detroit on Friday night. Mikko Koivu added a goal, and Niklas Backstrom stopped 32 shots.
Stewart and Jackman scored 2:18 apart midway through the third to give the Blues a 4-3 lead. Stewart tied it with his fourth goal, a deflection off Alex Pietrangelo's shot, and Jackman put the Blues in front.
Parise scored on Minnesota's first two shots in the second period, both on power plays, to give the Wild a 2-1 lead. Koivu added a goal on a 4 on 4 to make it 3-1 in the second, but Berglund counted 1:01 later to pull the Blues within one.
Redden scored for the second consecutive night for the Blues after going nearly three years without an NHL goal. He slapped a shot from near the left boards about midway through the first period to open the scoring.
St. Louis entered the game as the best power-play team in the NHL, converting seven of 16 opportunities, but ailed on five chances against the Wild, with just three shots.
NOTES: The Blues wore jerseys with No. 6 and ``Musial'' on the back during pregame warmups in honor of St. Louis Cardinals great Stan Musial. He died Jan. 19. Musial's funeral and burial were held Saturday. The jerseys will be auctioned with proceeds going to charitable arms of the Cardinals and Blues. ... After playing its first six games in nine days, St. Louis gets three days off before playing Thursday night at Columbus.

Mail Migration Added to Google Apps
According to Google's blog, North Carolina's Central Piedmont Community College was first to test the service, and transferred old mail from 30,000 users in three weeks. The actual transfer process, moving some three million e-mails from the school's old IMAP servers to Google's, took just 24 hours. Google also claims that Google Apps will make old e-mail more useful by making everything easily searchable, which isn't always the case when e-mail is archived in traditional ways.
The Google Apps Enterprise platform, still less than a year old, has been steadily updated with new features since its launch last August. According to the company, this is the sixth feature added to the Google Apps platform in the last month alone. The more recent additions include address-book sharing and the ability to add "gadgets" (Google's name for widgets) to Start pages. Google also has plans to overhaul its Doc and Spreadsheets applications to make them more visually intuitive. And of course, being Google, the company wants to make it easier for users to locate, search, and organize documents and spreadsheets that are stored on Google's servers.
The Google Apps Premier Edition costs $50 per user, per year, and includes Gmail, with 10GB mail storage per account; Google Talk for voice chat and instant-messaging; sharable Google Calendar; and Google Docs and Spreadsheets. The Premier Edition also comes with 24-hour phone support and a 99.9 percent uptime guarantee for Gmail.

: : When was the expression "listen up" first used? I'm copyediting a novel that takes place in 1898 and one character uses this expression. It sounds anachronistic to me.
: It sounds anachronistic to me as well. My desultory search in dictionaries, including the O.E.D., did not find the phrase. My first acquaintance with it was in connection with police and the military, who get "briefings." Was it in use in World War II? I can't say for sure, although there are doubtless others who CAN say for sure. My impression is that it came into wide use only after that war.
: I think your job as copy editor requires you to be merciless, and where there's doubt, delete. Find a substitute, unless your author can show you something to change your mind. "Pay attention, fellows," sounds a lot less questionable.
I've looking in a few references and couldn't find it. Sound modern to me too.

Films related to tribal rugs
Hi all,
There has been much written about tribal rugs and tribal weaving groups, including social and cultural material. However, I haven't seen that much in video format. I thought it might be interesting to have Turkotekkers share information about some of the films that they have seen or have heard of that would be of interest to those with an interest in tribal rugs and textiles.
I'll start with a few that have appealed to me...
1) Grass: A Nation's Battle for Life - This is an absolutely epic documentary (from 1925) that follows the remarkable annual migration of the Bakhtiari. The focus isn't primarily on rugs / textiles (though many are seen in the footage), but it is a wonderful documentation of the nomadic lifestyle and the almost unimaginable challenge of the annual migration.
2) Gabbeh (1996) - An award winning fictional film by an Iranian film maker that focuses on the "story behind" a gabbeh. Not focused on the rugs, but another interesting film with insights into a culture within which rugs had a central place.
3) Woven Gardens (1975) - A documentary that is part of the "Tribal Eye" series by David Attenborough, this film delves into the topic of "tribal rugs" and features an engagement with the Qashqai in their traditional settings. It has good insights, though many will spot some of the errors in attribution, etc. and find it a bit fanciful. Still, a solid effort, in my opinion.
While in Istanbul, I also saw a wonderful video interview with Josephine Powell, that was part of the "What Josephine Saw". I haven't been able to track down any versions to purchase, but I would love to obtain it and view it again, if anyone has information about where it might be obtained.
I'd be interested to hear other suggestions for interesting videos / films.

Ben Stein muses on his spring visit to LU
Liberty University left a lasting impression on 2009 Commencement speaker Ben Stein.
|Ben Stein poses for a picture with Jerry Falwell, Jr. and wife, Becki, prior to Commencement 2009.
The writer, actor, lawyer and economist who lives in Beverly Hills continued to talk and write positively about the university long after he left. While here, he was charmed by Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. and his family, and said that speaking before the receptive crowd of 23,000 — the largest group he has ever addressed in person — was one of the best experiences of his life.
To read more of his thoughts about his May visit to LU, read his latest article in "The American Spectator." Stein writes "Ben Stein's Diary" for every issue of the conservative publication.

Google Wallet Cracker Exposes PIN on Rooted Android Devices
Using Google Wallet for shopping is incredibly convenient. Just enter your PIN, wave the phone at the reader, and your transaction is complete. If your phone got stolen, a thief would still need the PIN to make purchases, and Google Wallet locks up tight after five bad PIN guesses. However, a newly discovered vulnerability lets that thief extract the Google Wallet PIN from a rooted phone without making any bad guesses. An engineer at Web categorization provider zvelo made the discovery and reported it on the company's blog, after notifying Google.
Mining for Data
Last year security firm ViaForensics reported that Android apps for Foursquare, Netflix, LinkedIn, and others don't adequately protect the user's stored personal information. More recently ViaForensics researchers released a report on Google Wallet security. The report concluded that while full credit card numbers are well-secured, other easily extracted private information could be used for a social engineering attack.
Joshua Rubin, a researcher at zvelo, found the report interesting and dug more deeply into the data stored by Google Wallet. In the course of his investigation, he discovered a way to crack the PIN.
Hashing Things Out
The Google Wallet PIN isn't stored in plain text; that would be plain stupid. As in many security situations, Google Wallet uses a hash of the PIN instead. Hashing, sometimes called one-way encryption, involves boiling down a document, password, or other sensitive data into a special code. There's no way to get back to the original from the code, and the hashing algorithm is designed to minimize the possibility that different originals could hash to the same code.
To check whether you've entered the right password, an app simply applies the hashing algorithm to what you typed. If it matches the stored code, you got it right. The same technique can be used to verify that a document or other file hasn't been modified.
What Rubin realized is that hashing isn't effective when the number of possible originals is small. There are only 10,000 possible values for a PIN consisting of four numeric digits. He quickly whipped up a Google Wallet Cracker program that would check all 10,000 against the stored hash, revealing the correct PIN.
Protect Yourself
You might think that Google could solve this problem by moving the PIN hash inside what's called the Secure Element (SE). However, doing so could run up against a problem of legality and ownership. According to Rubin, "The fear is that Google might no longer be responsible for the security of the PIN, but rather the banks themselves." While we wait for them to work out a solution, there are a number of things you can do to prevent a thief from cracking your Google Wallet PIN.
First and foremost, don't root your phone. Doing so pokes holes in the device's existing security. Yes, there are apps that don't work on an un-rooted phone. Just say no to those apps.
Rubin recommends that you enable a lock screen option, disable USB debugging, enable full disk encryption, and keep your Android device fully up to date. These are all good steps to take for Android security, whether or not you use Google Wallet. Check Rubin's full post for full details as well as a video showing how easy it is to crack the PIN on a rooted phone.

Nutrition is a branch of science closely related to advertising. Ostensibly, nutritionists are responsible for making sure that anyone who reads their advertisements will go on to get the correct amount of various sciencey-sounding substances in their food. However, few of them are in agreement over which of these substances actually exist.
- 1 Nutritionists throughout history
- 2 Nutrition facts
- 3 Nutritionists make money by keeping you uninformed
- 4 Footnotes may cure cancer
Nutritionists throughout history[edit]
In the Stone Age[edit]
Being a nutritionist is one of the oldest careers that it is possible to have, invented about 150,000 years ago. This is 20,000 years before the invention of the wheel, but 250,000 years after the discovery of food. In these prehistoric times, many people died of malnutrition and food poisoning. Natural selection ensured the evolution of a new type of expert; those who were capable of distinguishing stones from actual food. Initially, some suggested eating bronze, thus signalling the end of the Stone Age and the beginning of the Bronze Age.
In the Bronze Age[edit]
However, the high cost of bronze made this option so impractical that very few people ever tried it. Those who did suffered horribly gruesome deaths which were blamed on the chemical reaction of the metal with their stomach acid. The fact that the metal tore through the stomach lining of the person eating it was considered a minor drawback in comparison. Reluctant to admit the possibility that there was even the slightest chance that a mistake could even begin to speculate about the feasibility of being made by them, nutritionists decided that there was, in fact, nothing wrong with eating metal in principle. However, some disagreed with them, on the basis that eating metal included such side effects as dizziness, nausea, stomach cramps, and leaking blood through three orifices simultaneously (including the belly button, though it was not at all clear how this was possible.)
This marked the beginning of a schism in the sciences:
|Scientists and people with common sense
|Something is bad for you if it makes you die in a very bloody manner.
|Something is bad for you if it makes me look bad when you eat it.
|Something is good for you if other people who ate it felt better afterwards.
|Something is good for you if I am being paid by the people who make it.
|References to other studies should be used to back up claims by using further evidence.
|References to other studies should be used to make my work look like it is backed up by using further evidence, since nobody[1] reads the references anyway.
|Explanations should be as clear as possible, so that anyone who disagrees can explain exactly what is wrong about my explanation.
|Explanations should be as complicated as possible, so that anyone who disagrees looks stupid in comparison to me. And they are part of a vast conspiracy.
To justify their claim that eating metal was good for you, nutritionists claimed that certain foodstuffs were, in fact, made of metal, yet did not cause any of the side effects usually associated with eating sharp metal things. When asked which ones, they conferred in hurried whispers, then proudly announced that spinach was made of iron.
This is hogwash, since it is common knowledge that spinach is not magnetic.
In the Iron Age[edit]
The announcement that spinach contained iron rocked the world, since it was not known at the time that stupid-sounding things could actually be true. This heralded the beginning of the Iron Age, which was characterised by two phenomena:
- The appearance of the Popeye the Sailor Man cartoon, which showed the nutritionist lobby how much money could be made from telling people stuff about the food that they ate.
- The appearance of Internet forums, on which people congregated to say stupid things in the hope that they would stumble across some deep truth. This has so far given no a net loss, since the discovery of the grue[2] and the blueprints of the roflcopter are considered to have had a negative effect on our society.
Encouraged by their success, nutritionists began to invent more and more facts about different foodstuffs; these have been accepted as scientific fact by the time-honoured method of agreeing with whichever group shouts the loudest. A short and incomplete list follows.
Nutrition facts[edit]
The following facts are put about by the vast conspiracy of nutritionists. You are to watch out for them and fire at will.
Free radicals[edit]
Before the invention of eBay, nutritionists sold radicals to unsuspecting homeless people at £3.99 each. Since radicals are too small to be seen, this amounted to several million pounds to obtain a dose that can be detected without special equipment. Attempting to buy any less than this (since most people without a home couldn't afford such massive expenses) meant that you would receive a container that was, to all intents and purposes, empty.
When eBay was founded, radicals started to be sold online. Since they were not only almost worthless, but completely unneeded by anyone, the law of supply and demand drove their price all the way down to zero. At this point they became free radicals. Free radicals were a massive success, since anyone could have as much of them as they wanted without having to give lots of money to their local nutritionist.
It was not long before the Evil Lord Of Nutrition noticed the level of gold coins in his vault going down, to the point where his feet could touch the bottom while his nose was still on the surface. He immediately summoned his minions to solve this pressing issue, before his vault became too shallow to swim in altogether. They posted billboards and leaflets, not to mention their usual method of writing articles in tabloids, to persuade the public at large that free radicals were a Bad Thing. They would then be able to sell products containing antioxidants which would destroy the free radicals.
Their was largely based on the fact that free radicals can damage cell DNA, which itself causes cancer and transformations into green giants. However, comic book authors agree that DNA is extremely fragile and can be mutated by exposure to toxic waste, nuclear waste, toxic nuclear waste, nuclear toxic waste, deadly radiation, toxic radiation, nuclear radiation, experimental serums, toxic serums, wasteful radioactive serums, free radicals, and nuclear radioactive toxic experimental deadly waste-free nuclear experimental radical toxic painful kitten huffing dangerous beans radically toxic experiment-free radioactive nukes. The result of such mutations is always the acquisition of superhuman powers, though with the possible side effects of madness and megalomania. Removing free radicals from your body therefore makes the world a slightly less awesome place.
Vitamins are real, although you wouldn't think it. However, they do not have a very big effect on your health, and in fact their sole purpose is that their names can be used to spell any word made up of the letters A, B1, B6, B12, C, D, E, F, H, and PP. (Vitamin G was found to be an impersonator). However, since nobody except Ace Happee can spell their name using these letters, it is not imperative to get very many of them in your diet, with the exception of vitamin C, which cures scurvy.
Vitamin C is the only one of the vitamins which has a cool and dramatic - if very gross - effect when it is not a regular part of your diet It is present in most fresh fruits, and especially in citrus fruit, such as oranges, lemons and the bells of St Clement's. Most people get enough from their normal diet, however, sailors and other people who spend a long time away from a source of fresh food[3] often develop scurvy. This is the final proof that ninjas are superior to pirates.
It is necessary to have experts tell you what you should and should not eat[edit]
If you are old enough to use a computer and read the words on the screen, you probably know what is food and what isn't. And if you're not old enough[4], you won't find a nutritionist telling you not to lick the electrical sockets. Even though that is useful advice. If you seriously think that the human body is not capable of functioning without 5 portions of fruit and vegetables per day, then you have very little faith in the ability of whatever deity you may worship to create an efficient human body[5].
Nutritionists make money by keeping you uninformed[edit]
Essentially, as long as you are uninformed, nutritionists can get paid by you to inform you (or alternatively, they can be paid by Kellogg's to inform you of the value of Coco Pops). However, this then creates a problem; namely, that you are no longer uninformed once you have been informed, and can no longer be charged exorbitantly[6] to have stuff explained to you.
The solution is simply to create as much controversy as possible, in order to make whatever information you have just been informed of obsolete as soon as you hear it. Or before, if that is possible. A favorite subject for the ceation of controversy is what foods and activities cause cancer.
The evidence suggests that nutritionists and alternative medicine practitioners are in league with the newspapers to create a cancer scare and frighten the whole population into trying every possible cure for a disease they may have from doing anything that doesn't cure cancer. The fact that most activities or inanimate objects simultaneously cause and cure cancer will only help to spread confusion in this worldwide panic.
The effects of such a panic will be twofold: firstly, anyone who suggests that they know a cure for cancer will become very rich, and secondly, anyone who is not frightened by the scaremongerers (such as you) will get free entertainment.
Footnotes may cure cancer[edit]
- ↑ Except you, of course.
- ↑ If we didn't know about grues, they would still exist, but we would at least be able to sleep at night.
- ↑ This also proves that God does not want humans to travel into space.
- ↑ How the heck are you even reading this?
- ↑ If you're an atheist, replace "God" by "Evolution". This works in almost every context.
- ↑ This means your eyes pop out on stalks. Picture inadmissible.

Engineering the Customer into the Solution
A version of this article appears in the May/June 2008 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
May 01, 2008
Most conservation and demand-side management managers can agree that conserving energy is much more cost-effective than securing additional energy resources. Consequently, various innovative conservation and pricing strategies are being tested and adopted by utilities as they seek to lower costs and conserve energy. Blue Line Innovations offers utility customers an innovative tool that encourages energy conservation and educates residential customers on the cost of running their homes. This tool is called the PowerCost Monitor; it is an in-home display device that shows customers how much energy their home is using from moment to moment, in the hope that this information will change their consumption behavior and ultimately reduce their electricity usage—an incentive that both the customer and the utility can appreciate. So does real-time feedback on energy usage actually lead to lower electricity usage? Yes, and not only do customers save after initial use, but they continue to conserve energy over a long period of time. In 2007, Blue Line Innovations completed a 30,000-unit deployment to Hydro One Networks residential customers (winning Blue Line Innovations an award for Outstanding Energy Efficient Technology Deployment of the Year from the Association of Energy Services Professionals). This deployment was the ...

"Software is eating the world." You've probably heard the phrase. It's a quote from legendary investor Marc Andreessen, and he's clearly been spot on. Software has been transforming industries from retail (Amazon), to information storage (DropBox), to the more efficient sharing of existing resources (think AirBnB and rideshare solutions), and voice communications (Skype). Software is constantly changing and improving the way we live our physical lives in fundamental ways.
Much of the software of today has moved to the cloud, which gives service providers the flexibility of delivering software as a service (SaaS), greater reach, the luxury of providing broad updates that benefit all users and a low cost delivery model. The ultimate advantage of the explosive growth of the cloud is that users have more choice, not less.
In the business world, the advent of touch screen devices – essentially handheld supercomputers with vastly improved user experiences – is allowing the world to democratize expensive tools that were previously available only through proprietary hardware solutions.
For example, this year we're seeing particularly dark clouds amassing around companies likes Cisco, Polycom, and Microsoft, and their highly profitable conferencing, telepresence, and collaboration divisions. While the industry grows as a whole (it is now twice the size it was in 2007, when Cisco bought WebEx), revenues from these companies are dropping precipitously. Recently, Microsoft announced that it ditched Live Meeting; Cisco is laying off portions of its WebEx unit and its telepresence sales continue to drop; meanwhile Polycom is laying off workers while its revenues declines and its stock hits a 3-year low. In the past three quarters, Polycom's year-over-year revenue growth has slipped from 5%, a decline of 6%, and finally a decline of 2% this week. As a result, Polycom's CEO announced that the company is moving towards software. So has Cisco. Remind you of anything? Say, HP? Marc Andreessen makes the case that you are either born software or you are not; and you don't wake up one day and decide to have software DNA. You don't acquire it either. It must have existed at the birth of the business.
This is software eating hardware and a multi-billion dollar industry that is being challenged and disrupted at its core by mobile, social, cloud, and open interoperability.
We now live in a combined BYOD and SaaS era. Mobile hardware is becoming powerful enough to be commoditized, capable of running traditionally high-powered applications like telepresence. In addition, mobile networks through long-term evolution (LTE) are getting as good as broadband and corporate LANs/WANs. Software solutions can now be built to appeal to a broader set of use cases, while being far more adaptable to the ever-changing needs of customers. These factors are fostering the era of dedicated hardware, that is fixed, expensive, hard and expensive to upgrade, oddly not tailored to individuals, and limits user choice, to go the way of the Dodo bird.
How to Turn Things Around
1. Don't try to go into software
Polycom and others have stated their intent to ride the wave of the cloud and become a software company. Those in software however, know that unless software is in your DNA and your blood, you're not going to successfully make the transition and compete with leaner startups that can pick you apart piecemeal. Instead, open up your hardware and make it interoperable with the great software that's coming out on the market now. This move can help users find new value in your products and it's a first natural step to understanding the open world of software.
2. Make your hardware dead simple
Like the great Larry Tessler once said, "never be compatible with a poor user experience." Telepresence systems – once one of the great enterprise collaboration platforms – can only compete if there is a maniacal focus on the individual user experience, rather than the focus of mining million dollar margins on hardware. Booting up a telepresence system is like going through a pre-flight checklist for a Boeing 747– it's neither easy not intuitive. Compare that to launching an app on a tablet, gesturing with your index finger and you'll understand the difference in user experience right away.
If there is anything that is truer, it's that users always want more choice, not less. This is a huge reason why Polycom and Cisco are currently in trouble. They are forgetting the most important aspect of business in todays Post-PC, BYOD era: providing a superior user experience. They must deliver a great experience that users appreciate and value, alongside choice they deserve: portability, interoperability, mobility and quality. Consumers no longer take imposed limits sitting down; they want choice in their devices and flexibility in working across different solutions.
3. Make telepresence an open platform
Warren Leiberfarb, a prescient film industry executive once said, "When you limit your users you will lose them." Customers are being disadvantaged and underserved by these proprietary hardware solutions. Sure, Cisco has developed social collaboration solutions like Jabber and has tried (but failed) to take telepresence mobile with the Cius tablet – but these efforts are in vain when they do not interoperate seamlessly with the rest of the software world.
Cisco and Polycom should leverage their ability to provide high-end services and become a platform for all the great software out there. They should integrate with other video conferencing technology that's a better fit for mobile; add greater collaboration, cloud storage, and media sharing options; and support gesture-based technology. The old guards need to shake up their thinking and aim high. Or they'll be devoured.
We've Seen This Before
A number of other industries have gone through similar upheaval in the face of innovation. The film industry provides a great example. Executives panicked in the 80s when the neighborhood rental VHS industry came about. They did their best to crush it, until they realized that chains like Blockbuster and Hollywood video were actually adding an incremental channel and increasing industry revenue. Further disruption has come along since then, including DVDs, Blu-Ray, and now digital downloads and on-demand streaming.
With the introduction of each of these technologies, the film industry succumbed to periods of fear. It turns out however, that each of these new channels helped to grow the industry overall and supported the traditional revenue channel: the Box Office. So why fight it? These technologies just allow content and services to be provided with a better user experience – embracing innovation and customer choice is the key to long-term success in business.
Hardware providers are now going through a similar transition. However, business and users continue to rely heavily on these traditional solutions. The last thing you want is for existing users to be alienated from an entire market due to a bad experience.
Polycom and Cisco and Microsoft have an opportunity to lead the new generation of business customer that has grown up with streamlined software and hardware solutions. It won't be easy; their strategies may even cannibalize profits for the short term, but it will help ensure long-term sustainability of their offerings. And although this article focuses on conferencing and collaboration, any hardware maker should be wary.
Unless you're building for the next generation of customer, you better be looking over your shoulder.

The potential 2012 LA chicks range in age from the oldest, PWRC #9, who hatched on 7 May to the youngest, PWRC #25, who hatched just last week on 11 June and all are doing well. Jane told me they have been walking #'s 15, 17, 18, & 19 together and they're doing well but she hasn't been able to get a photo because they have to keep them moving otherwise #18 starts to get a bit "pecky" towards the other chicks.
Thanks again to Jane Chandler from PWRC for providing these photos and the updates on the chicks!
Stay tuned for more updates and photos of the 2012 LA cohort.

Rainforest Adventures builds on growing demand for sustainable, educational, outdoor attractions
Thanks to Rainforest Adventures, a collection of ecotourism parks and tours, located throughout the Central American and Caribbean regions, nature lovers and adrenaline seekers can find what they are looking for in one, sustainable adventure attraction and tour operator.
âWhat started as a vision to make the rainforest and natural assets of a destination accessible to everyone has grown to become one of the most popular destination activities for visitors, especially within the locations with growing cruise ship business,â says Annika Bratt, vice president of sales. âIn the countries where we operate, the rainforest is the richest and most diverse community within the region and by combining education with adventure, we purposely set out to provide a dynamic experience for guests of all ages.âOperating under strict conservation guidelines, Rainforest Adventures launched in 1994 when the first park (Costa Rica Atlantic) constructed the world's first rainforest aerial tram â without removing a single tree in the process. Today, Rainforest Adventures has expanded its parks (locations include: Costa Rica Pacific, Costa Rica Atlantic, St Lucia, Dominica and Jamaica),and tours (Panama), each offering guests thrilling, eye-opening and educational rainforest and destination activities that range from ziplines and bird watching tours to naturalist-led aerial tram rides and nature walks. âOur first priorities are safety and conservation,â said Bratt. âEach guest who passes through our parks or takes our tours learns the story of our rainforests: the millions of insects, plants and microorganisms who call these environments home; the amazing healing properties of our jungles, from tiny medicinal plants to the mammoth amounts of carbon dioxide that is emitted and absorbed each year; and the high price that all of us, plants, animals and humans, pay as a result of deforestation.â Rainforest Adventures' keen eco-consciousness has earned high marks from conservation groups and government bodies. Some of the company's achievements include earning Blue Ecological Flags and the highest rating under the Certification for Sustainable Tourism (Costa Rica Pacific and Atlantic); receiving a Tourism Service Excellence Award from the Ministry of Tourism (Jamaica); and being acknowledged by the Rotary Club of Gros Islet for Outstanding Contribution for Humanitarian Service (St Lucia). Each park and tour is unique, built around the natural history and culture of each country with its own special attractions. All shore excursions are carbon neutral and the company has been certified by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Association of Challenge Course Technology (ACCT) for safety. Prices range from $10 to $100 USD per person, based on the level of experience, with group and individual packages available. Rainforest Adventures Costa Rica AtlanticLocated just 80 kms (50 miles) from the Costa Rica's capital city of San JosĂŠ, Rainforest Adventures Costa Rica Atlantic was the company's first park, introduced in 1994 with the non-invasive construction of an aerial tram. Today, the park has grown to include guided tours (pick from nature hikes, bird-watching treks and family-friendly adventures) and attractions like the AdrenaLine â a 700-metre (2,297-foot) zipline that takes thrill-seekers flying 55 km/hr (34 mph) through the jungle. For softer adventure, guests can explore the butterfly and frog garden ( $10.00 USD, per person): a 200-square-metre (1,250-square-foot) open-air space where nature-lovers can immerse themselves in a world of bug-eyed bullfrogs and tiny tadpoles. And with bilingual naturalists overseeing the grounds, this garden is an eye-opening and educational experience for adventurers of all ages. Unique to Costa Rica Atlantic are the 10 modern bungalows, each with private baths and terraces available for overnight accommodation. Guests can explore their phobias at the Serpentarium at Rainforest Adventures Costa Rica PacificRainforest Adventures' Costa Rica Pacific park, located outside the beach town of JacĂł and about a two-hour drive from San JosĂŠ, is home to a heart-leaping Serpentarium: a snake exhibition located deep in the jungle that showcases 20 of Costa Rica's finest slithering species. Admission to the Serpentarium is $10 USD per guest. Adventurers with kids in tow might consider springing for the Family Tour, a package for all ages that showcases the beauty and secrets of the rainforest with every turn. On this five-hour tour, families join expert naturalist guides for visits to the Serpentarium and the Medicinal Plant Garden, a painting workshop (where kids can colour a T-shirt with natural dyes or create a fossil) and a ride through the rainforest treetops on the aerial tram, complete with a nutritious Costa Rican meal. Cost for the Family Tour is $82.00 USD (children) and $78.00 USD (students and adults). Take a blind leap on the AdrenaLUNA zip line tour at Rainforest Adventures St LuciaGuests can up the zipline stakes and leap over to Rainforest Adventures' St Lucia Park, located the highland community of Chassin, Dauphin, for a little nighttime action. While not for the faint of heart (or for those afraid of the dark), the brand new AdrenaLUNA nighttime zipline tour starts with a dark walk through the rainforest and launch off a volcanic boulder, continuing with a zipline through the high jungle canopy (only a headlamp leads the way) and a swing on a Tarzan-like rope, and finishing with a rappel back down to Earth. Cost for the tour is $79.00 USD (adults). Jungle bobsledding at Rainforest Adventures JamaicaWith Rainforest Adventures Jamaica, on Mystic Mountain, bobsledding isn't just a wintertime sport for northerners. Guests who visit the park, located in the resort town of Ocho Rios, will discover a wild ride that's inspired by the famous Jamaican bobsled Olympians and ranked by TripAdvisor.com as one of the region's top attractions. Bobsledders are safely strapped into a sled and then sped, using only gravity, down a 1,000-metre (3,281-foot) mountainside track through the dense rainforest. (Going a bit too fast? Slow down using a handbrake). While the experience of bobsledding in a Jamaican jungle is priceless, guests do pay $62.00 USD per ride. To get back to earth, guests can drop by the butterfly garden (a spot designed to attract these insects in non-enclosed setting) and the hummingbird garden (a place for visitors to see and learn about Jamaica's national bird in a natural setting). Finally, guests may cool off after a long day of jungle adventures with an exhilarating ride down the 77-metre (253-foot) mystic waterslide, ending in an infinity-edged pool. Leap across a 107-metre (350-foot) cavernous drop at Rainforest Adventures Dominica Located at the edge of the lush Morne Trois Pitons National Park, Rainforest Adventures Dominica offers guests a range of activities, such as aerial tram tours, jungle hikes and, the most adrenaline inducing of all, the gorge zip challenge. Home to the highest zipline in the southern Caribbean region, Rainforest Adventures Dominica boasts three cable lines, culminating in 361 metres (1,185 feet) of heart-leaping fun. The grand finale of the park's zipline experience is a clammy-hand journey across the Breakfast River Gorge, a 107-metre (350-foot) cavern filled with plants and waterfalls. Cost is $50 USD (trail walk and zipline) or $99 USD (aerial tram ride and zipline). Exploring the depth, breadth of the Pearl of the Pacific â Rainforest Adventures Panama with Panama Excursions. www.panamaexcursions.com.pa To open visitors' eyes to the true heart and soul of Panama, Rainforest Adventures offers seven diverse tours, adventures and experiences: Shaping of Panama, Chagres River Adventure, Authentic Embera Indian Village, Miraflores Locks Observation Center, Eco Cruise on the Gatun Lake, Panama Canal Partial Transit and Panama Canal Railway. On the Authentic Embera Indian Tour, guests take a dugout canoe ride into Chagres National Park en route to a remote village. Once there, explorers will meet the chief, watch a series of traditional dances and take time to explore the village, meet the local people and purchase a crafted keepsake. With four exhibition halls, a visit to the Miraflores Locks Observation Center is an eye-opening and educational look at the shaping and importance of the Panama Canal and its locks. Nature-lovers wanting to be immersed in Panama's lush flora and fauna needn't look further than the Eco Cruise on the Gatun Lake tour, an experience that takes guests aboard a small boat for an exploration of back channels, islands and bays and to the Gatun Locks. Birds, monkeys, sloth, iguanas and crocodiles are just a few of the animals that can be spotted on this tour. About Rainforest AdventuresWith adrenaline-inducing parks and educational tours located in Costa Rica (both Pacific and Atlantic), Panama, Saint Lucia, Dominica and Jamaica, each Rainforest Adventures location serves as ecotourism attractions as well as wildlife and wilderness refuges. Since 1994, the company has been combining unique rainforest adventures (such as tram rides, bobsleds and zip lines), with exceptional, multi-lingual naturalist guides, and tour excursions giving each guest an educational, adventurous, sustainable and unforgettable rainforest and destination experience.

To boot into the uboot emergency mode, you need to press [OK] when booting starts.
But to install debian, I recommend having the whole rootfs ready before installing uboot and the kernel, because uboot cannot handle ext3 and will freeze when accessing the internal drive or CF.
I kinda got the last part-But I had preessed ok--it scrolled a bunch o stff then came to a prompt. isn't that what iti is supposed to do?
Anyway, If i can mke uboot do anything but cause to restore my Nand (3x this morning and counting) I was planning to install the taraball to a 1 G CF, then see about doing someinthing with my internal drive
Am I supposed to include a kernel or something on the card I install Uboot from?
Uboot and the kernel are separate and they use two totally different sets of files to install. If the installation of uboot is successful and can boot into the uboot emergency mode, i think it's better to remove all the uboot files from the card (say, a SD) and put only the autoboot.sh and the kernel.img on it and then run /mnt/card/autoboot.sh to flash the kernel. This applies to both pdaXrom and debian eabi (yonggun kernel).

This is better place to my ask, so I ask again....
Hello everybody!
I made something wrong with my Zaurus SL-C1000. I tried to install U-boot, but I didn't erase NAND before. After U-boot installation of course everything was wrong. I went to Service menu to NAND restore and I did it using Trisoft NAND Backup for my Z. After reboot everything was wrong. On forum someone told me, that I should to erase Nand before restoring. I tried to do it, but during NAND erase process I have communicate:
Bad Block Num = 128
ERROR! Too many bad.
During restore process I have communicate:
format error
Now My Zaurus is broken at all. Have you got any idea what to do now? I will be very appreciate for help.

Try doing a NAND restore without the NAND erase, if you haven't already. That's what I have done in the past, and it seems to work.

Crystal Mesh by realities:united
Another project forwarded by Emu of Mesa.
The "screen" facade is formed by a tessellated pattern made up by physical plastic bodies. A regular matrix of fluorescent lamps is superimposed onto (into) this idiosyncratic physical structure. That produces a display screen, which however is vividly distorted by the strong geometry of the individual light fixture and which is peppered by the regular perforations of the physical screen as well as by variations in the arrangements of the light fixture objects.

Thanks Emu.

So far as the mechanics of the Charter, here are some definitions. The "objective" is really just stating what the project should accomplish. The scope of the project is simply defining the parameters or boundaries of what will be done to accomplish the project. The things that need to be done to make the project a success are called deliverables.
