Shelby and I spent the day out and about yesterday, she ran some errands
with me and got a couple chances to run around and enjoy the brisk fall day.
First we went to my work because I had left some textbooks I needed there.
I'm don't do offleash at parks or anything, but there is an open field that no
one is ever in behind the hospital (not pretty, though!) so I let her offleash and
played fetch with her hedgehog while I played with the sport mode on my camera.
Silly tail!
Then we went to a park by our house for some walking and a little bit of distraction
obedience. She does well with the distractions that her dog classes presents, and
with the distractions that a store like Home Depot or Petsmart provides, so I thought
it was time to step it up a little. Yesterday she saw her first squirrel.... and failed.
We will continue to work in the park because she couldn't even bring herself to make
eye contact with me for watching the squirrels, and she usually has excellent eye
contact. Boooo for too much distraction, but she still got a nice little walk in and we
played on some unusual surfaces at the playground.

Silly Rabbit! Like Trix, color e-readers are for kids
Laws of physics keep saturated e-paper color from grown-ups
CES 2013 If you're expecting rich, vibrant colors on your next ebook reader, you're going to be disappointed – the laws of physics are against you.
"Somebody like the National Geographic is still not going to be happy with our product," Sriram Peruvemba, chief marketing officer of E Ink, the company that creates the e-paper displays for such devices as the Amazon Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite, Barnes & Noble Nook, Sony Reader, and others, told The Reg at CES 2013.
"It's a physics challenge," Peruvemba told us. "Basically we need a lot of light going into the system." The reason for this is that to produce a color image, a color filter is put on top of each monochrome e-ink pixels, which reduces the amount of light going into the display that can be reflected back for your viewing pleasure.
E-ink displays have a pair of big advantages over backlit LCD and self-lit AMOLED displays, namely extremely low power needs and readability in sunlight. Unfortunately, Peruvemba said, "When you wanted to keep all those features and add color to it, it was a challenge."
That's not to say that E Ink hasn't produced a color e-reader display. Their 4096-color Triton Imaging Film has been adopted by OEM customers in China, Russia, and elsewhere, and is currently being used in educational settings.
What's more, the company recently upgraded their Triton displays. "Essentially we wanted to make the color contrast better," Peruvemba told us. "We've achieved enough color saturation for children's books and things like that." But not for the National Geographic.
Still and all, providing children with a thousand books on a good-enough-for-kids color e-reader that can be used for a month on one charge, Peruvemba opines, ain't chopped liver. "I woudn't even call it an e-reader," he said. "I'd call it a library."
He also noted that e-readers with his color displays are being used in educational settings in developing countries, where children often read outdoors. "Outdoors our color looks better because there's more light shining into it," he said.
Although you may not find magazine-quality color e-paper displays on your next e-reader, you may run into them elsewhere – and not just in your kid's e-reader "library". E Ink is working on advertising-oriented displays that may soon appear on a billboard near you.
"If we increase the size of the pixel," Peruvemba said, "the color saturation improves to the point where it looks almost as good as LCD." So good, he claims, that "If you're at least 15 feet away, it looks gorgeous."
But that gorgeousness won't scale down to color e-reader size in the forseeable future – "not anytime soon," as Peruvemba put it. Nor are there any US OEMs currently working with E Ink to bring a color e-reader to market – or, more precisely, none that have been publically announced.
"If I told you who we were talking with," he told us on the CES ShowStoppers exhibition floor, "next year you would be here, but I wouldn't." ®

Bears Stalk HP Shares Ahead of Analyst's Meeting
Next week, Hewlett-Packard will hold an analysts meeting in San Francisco, the main purpose of which will be to offer its forward-looking guidance for the coming fiscal year. Also, CEO Meg Whitman, CFO Cathie Lesjak and other senior executives will probably open the corporate kimono a bit and give a peek inside the financial situation, providing more detail than HP usually does.
The big looming question is whether HP can legitimately turn itself around. Having already set plans to reduce its headcount by 29,000, its restructuring is still getting under way.
There are many betting that Whitman may be in over her head. In a research note issued to clients today, ISI's Brian Marshall considered — and then rejected — the bearish case against HP. Short interest in HP — a key indicator of market sentiment that a stock's price is going to fall — has increased substantially in the last year: About 3.7 percent of HP shares were short, as of Sept. 14, up from less than 1.5 percent a year ago. And the short bets have paid off: HP shares closed Tuesday at $16.71, a level they haven't seen since about 2002.
Marshall summarizes the bearish case thusly: HP is a broken company, and will experience annual revenue declines of about 5 percent forever. With the enterprise value amounting to about 8 times free cash flow, the company is not generatng enough free cash flow to be an attractive investment. Add to that about $20 billion in net debt, and you get a company that has little flexibility to make big acquisitions or invest in new initiatives. Conclusion: HP's hopes for delivering $4 a share in annual per-share earnings just aren't tenable.
But Marshall is not a bear himself. In his view, HP should saw itself in half — one part that generates cash, and one that requires cash investments in order to grow. The "growth group," as Marshall sees it, would combine the Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking business unit and HP's IT Services group. The "cash group" is the new Printing and Personal Systems Group, which amounts to about 51 percent of overall sales. Marshall argues that HP Executive Vice President Todd Bradley, who runs the PC and printer group, will be an effective steward of that unit's contribution to HP's overall cash flow, allowing the excess to be reinvested in the "growth group," and to rebuild the balance sheet.
"While we expect HP to continue to post revenue declines of about 5 percent year-on-year for the next 18 months before the company becomes a GDP-like grower, we believe annual earnings power can be maintained at about $4 per share during this transformation period," Marshall writes.
How will HP maintain its earnings while revenues slide? Reducing headcount further — Marshall sees another 15,000 jobs on top of the 29,000 already announced — plus further reductions in the overall share count. Add to that a further tightening of operating expenses, and HP, he argues, can maintain profits at or near $4 a share through 2017.

A former Arab linquist for the military has been charged under the Espionage Act with allegedly copying classified documents and shipping them back to the United States, including to Stanford University, which maintains a collection in his name.
A Navy commander said the security breach by James F. Hitselberger, who previously lived in Wisconsin, has the potential to compromise "everything with respect to source operations in Iraq," according to documents unsealed in Wisconsin and elsewhere last week.
Despite the dire warning, the military and civilian contractors failed to root out Hitselberger years earlier, when he was admonished for discussing sensitive information in a public place, court documents show.
Authorities then failed to arrest Hitselberger after he was caught with classified documents in April. They allowed him to fly home from Bahrain on his own. He left an airport in Germany, claiming he was too sick to travel home, but then he traveled throughout Europe for eight months. He wasn't arrested until last month, when he went to Kuwait, which handed him over to the U.S.
Shortly after his arrest, FBI agents searched the home of Hitselberger's parents in Fond du Lac, taking photographs but not seizing anything, according to a search warrant. Hitselberger had shipped six boxes to his parents from Bahrain. His parents did not return a call for comment Monday.
Hitselberger, 55, was indicted on two counts of taking national defense information. He has been ordered detained without bail in Washington.
From the fall of 2011 to April, Hitselberger worked as a translator for the U.S. Navy in Bahrain, with unlimited access to sensitive material. Commanders were alarmed when they learned he was accused of stealing secret documents. The documents contained sensitive information about troop positions, gaps in U.S. intelligence and commanders' travel plans.
Hitselberger had access to "all communications with sensitive sources in highly sensitive locations, including communication procedures, true names and tradecraft used by the sources," an FBI agent wrote in an affidavit for the search warrant. "The witness (a commander) related Hitselberger's access could have potentially compromised everything with respect to source operations in Iraq."
Despite the sensitive nature of where he worked, no video surveillance or electronic card swipe devices monitored who came and went from the work space, "giving Hitselberger unfettered access to information 24 hours a day," according to the affidavit.
Some of the classified documents ended up at Stanford's Hoover Institute, which holds the " James F. Hitselberger collection 1977-2012."
According to Hoover's website, the collection features fliers, photographs and sound recordings relating to political conditions before and after the 1979 revolution in Iran. FBI agents found a classified document from February in a public section of the collection. Three more classified documents were in a closed part of the collection. Officials from the Hoover Institute did not return a call for comment.
Hitselberger wrote to an archivist at the institute that he knew a document from March 2005 he was sending to his collection was classified and would be until 2015.
"Regardless of the case, this material seems to warrant archival preservation. I will leave the matter up to you to determine when researchers can have access to these items, as I am fully confident that your institution balances national security concerns with the needs of researchers of original source material," he wrote, according to the affidavit.
The FBI noted that neither Hitselberger nor anyone at Stanford has the power to declassify such military documents.
Once the Hoover Institute learned of the alleged breach, an archivist wrote Hitselberger, "in light of the FBI investigation of your collection here at Hoover, we will no longer accept additions to the collection, as we don't want to risk receiving more classified material."
Hitselberger wrote back, apologizing and saying he didn't know the documents were classified. As for the investigation, Hitselberger said he had accidentally removed classified material.
"I was not able to locate my regular reading glasses that day over a month ago and I did not notice the 'secret' designation at the bottom," Hitselberger wrote.
The FBI agent noted the word "secret" was in all capital letters, in red and bolded.
Sensitive information
Hitselberger attended Georgetown University in the 1980s, studying Arabic and history. He later attended graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin in the early 1990s, studying politics and government.
It is unclear when he lived in Wisconsin. Online records show him living in Fond du Lac until 1979.
From October 2004 to February 2007, Hitselberger worked as a contract linguist for Titan Corp., a subsidiary of L3 Communications. He worked for the military in several camps in Iraq, including in Fallujah and Ramadi. He received a "secret" level security clearance and was trained on how to handle classified information, the affidavit said.
During his time in Iraq working for Titan, Hitselberger was admonished twice for discussing sensitive documents outside his work area. The affidavit does not say how Hitselberger left the employment with Titan, but it ended in 2007.
From early 2007 to mid-2011, he was self-employed in property rental and renovation in Michigan. He was listed as living recently lived in Ontonagon, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
In June 2011, he was hired by Global Linguist Solutions LLC and underwent training on handling classified materials in Virginia and later overseas. He was sent to Bahrain in September 2011 and went to work for a naval warfare group under a joint special operations task force. Its mission is to fight terrorism with direct action, unconventional warfare and surveillance.
"Multiple forces relied on Hitselberger's expertise in the Arabic language and sent raw data to him regularly for translation," according to the FBI affidavit. "Through this data, Hitselberger obtained intimate knowledge of sensitive source operations, including true names and addresses of sources."
Problems arise again
Shortly after he arrived in Bahrain, Hitselberger was loudly discussing a secret document dealing with human intelligence that he had translated while eating at the commissary. One of his supervisors told him to stop. Hitselberger laughed at him and began talking again, according to the FBI affidavit.
It does not indicate whether any discipline was taken against Hitselberger. What is clear is that he continued to work in a highly classified area with sensitive documents.
On April 11, 2012, two of Hitselberger's supervisors saw him copy classified documents, put them in his Arabic dictionary and stuff them in his backpack. A supervisor and a commander confronted Hitselberger. He pulled out one of the documents but didn't surrender the second until pressed.
That second document was an analysis discussing gaps in U.S. intelligence concerning the situation in Bahrain, which at the time was volatile, the affidavit said.
Agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service searched Hitselberger's room and found it cluttered with hundreds of newspapers, books and storage containers. They found a classified document on his desk. The "secret" markings were cut off the top and bottom.
In an interview, Hitselberger denied he had received training on classified documents, even though he had received intensive training twice in the previous nine months. On the classified document he trimmed, he said he could not defend himself, according to the affidavit.
The agents also found Hitselberger had mailed 86 packages from Bahrain to the U.S.
The Navy asked Global Linguist Solutions to replace Hitselberger, but he was not arrested. He left Bahrain on April 12, with a 41/2-hour scheduled layover in Germany. But Hitselberger didn't get on his flight to the U.S. His employer contacted him, but he was "highly deceptive," the affidavit said. He said he felt a stroke coming on and couldn't travel.
But in subsequent months he traveled to five different countries. He was scheduled to return to the U.S. in August but changed his ticket to 2013. It was unclear where he was getting money to travel or to purchase property in the U.S. for $19,000 from overseas, according to court documents.
Hitselberger was arrested when he traveled to Kuwait last month. He has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison. Hitselberger's attorney and the prosecutor did not return calls for comment.

A jury found actor Shelley Malil guilty of premeditated attempted murder on Thursday.
Malil, who appeared in the "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," was accused of stabbing of his former girlfriend in San Diego County.
The actor was also found guilty of assault with a deadly weapon, but not guilty of burglary. He stabbed Kendra Beebe 23 times in the back yard of her San Marcos home on Aug.10, 2008.
Beebe thanked the jury for its verdict.
"Who separated the truth from the bizarre fiction that the defense presented, weighed the good against the bad and rendered a fair and just decision," Beebe said outside the courtroom.
But the case could have ended in a hung jury.
Just hours before the verdict a juror had to be replaced after writing a note to the judge.
In it, the unidentified female juror said she can't be "fair and impartial" because she believes in karma, and that "the victim deserved this because of her immoral lifestyle."
But perhaps the most stunning revelation came from Beebe herself who claims Malil didn't act alone. Beebe accuses her ex-husband of masterminding the attack, claiming he manipulated Malil into a jealous frenzy.
"Phone records that were presented during this trial accurately show Malil and my ex had numerous contacts in the hours prior to my stabbing,"Beebe said.
Deputy D.A. Keith Watanabe said it was "unusual" to have the ex-husband in contact with Malil.
"We do know he played some part in this whole story, but we don't know to what extent," Watanabe said.
Malil, who played a co-worker, Haziz, to comedian Steve Carell's title character in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," testified during the trial that he was protecting himself after he was attacked.
"Someone was hitting me with something, and all I had was this knife, and I just went bananas with the thing," Malil testified. "And Kendra kept saying, 'Ali, call 911,' and that was the first time I realized that it was Kendra that I was fighting with."
At the time of the stabbing, Beebe was sitting outside, having a glass of wine with friend David Maldonado, according to court documents. The assault with a deadly weapon charge Malil was found guilty of involved Maldonado.
During the trial, Beebe sat through several days of emotional testimony.
"I thought, 'Oh my God, he's going to hug me,' and then I thought, 'Oh, no, he's going to punch me,' and then I see this flash of silver and bang, bang, bang," Beebe testified through tears. "It was just, like, not real."
The North County Times reported that "some gouges [were] so deep, her lung collapsed, according to Dr. Thomas Velky, the trauma surgeon who operated on her." One wound came very close to her carotid artery.
A district attorney's office investigator said Beebe told her she knew Malil for about a year but ended the relationship when he became "very possessive and jealous."
The day before the attack, Beebe and her cousin went surfing with Malil in Encinitas, investigators said. During the lesson, Malil became frustrated and left the beach with Kendra's keys and purse. After she managed to get home, Beebe noticed several items missing from her home including her vibrator, marijuana and a video of her bungee-jumping that Malil had said was "too risque" according to court documents. The evening before the stabbing, Malil allegedly e-mailed photos of himself having sex with Beebe to her employees.
Malil faces 16 years to life in prison when he sentenced on November 18.
His defense attorney didn't want to comment on camera, but told the North County Times that Malil was "disappointed" with the jury's decision.

Some people consider making their move in Zugthemselves. Here we explain why it is necessary to hire professionals, providing you with just a handful of the crucial things that amateurs do not take into consideration.
Do you know the volume of your belongings in m3? The answer will lead you to choosing an appropriate van. For driving a transit VAN you will need special skills and sometimes a driving license with a certain category. Unskilled driving can result in damage to the VAN and losing your deposit, as well as damaging your belongings. To avoid this, order a VAN with a professional driver, who can quickly and safely deliver your belongings to the correct destination.
Do you know that there are certain rules for positioning belongings inside a VAN? Are you aware of weight restrictions? Infraction of these two regulations can result in a big fine and a driving ban for up to several months. Our movers in Zug have the expertise to avoid all breakages and fines.
The disassembly of furniture can take quite a while, and reassembly probably even more. It is important not to forget that there is a strict order and technique to assembling furniture. Entrust this work to the professionals.
Cheap storage spaces are normally 90% full and it is not simple to find one that is available for your moving out date. Do not worry! We have a solution for you. You are welcome to use our storage with friendly tariffs.
Cleaning after a move in Zug is a meticulous task, and estate agents can be very pickyabout the standards that have to be reached. Our professional cleaners are wellaware of the standards that estate agents expect.

Cheap and attractive price for move in Zug looks really tempting when signing a contract. But a cheap price doesn't reflect quality and will often result in unforeseen problems. Here are just a few of them:
Not all, but many transporters show you a small quote in order to win the tender. But at the end of the move they will most probably claim for more money for their services than was originally predicted.
Usually, cheap transporters in Zug manage to get many clients. But you do not have any guarantee that they will complete your order. If they have two clients onthe same day and one is offering a bigger price for the services, the mover will favour the one that is more expensive. And, unfortunately, we have many clients that were waiting for their cheap movers , but they were dropped and no mover came.
Cheap transporters in Zug are not necessarily qualified movers. Do not pin your hopes on a high quality service. If you have precious furniture, it is better to pay a bit more and be sure to receive a good quality service.
With a cheap moving service in Zug, the probability of robberies and thefts is growing.It is not the case with most movers, but we strongly recommend you are careful with your precious belongings. Take care of them in advance in order to prevent unwanted thefts.
In most cases, there will be no contractual evidence after you've agreed a deal with a cheap transporter. So, you are putting yourself in risk by putting all of your belongings in a VAN with an unfamiliar person.
Letting a cheap transporter into your home doesn't just put all your belongings at risk, it also risks the safety of yourself and your family.
Our firm has a system of transparent tariffs. When accepting our quote, you can be fully confident that it will not change. Naturally, there arerare occasions when a discrepancy might occur due to unforeseen circumstances, but in most of the cases you will pay the price that was discussed with you in advance without any changes.
After booking a move in Zug with us you will receive an official confirmation, witha price, of your future move details via e-mail. We will constantly stay in touch in order to answer any questions regarding your move. Moreover, 1 day prior to your move you will receive a reminder e-mail.
We employ only qualified specialists with over 5 years' experience. Our company specialists include furniture assemblers, packers, loaders, and drivers. This makes our teams strong and ready to respond to any difficulties that may arise during your move in Zug.
Our movign company officially registered in Switzerland.On our web site you will find our physical and juridical addresses. Throughoutyour move, you will receive a set of documents that verifies our working together. Thus, you can be 100% sure that we are trustworthy and will receive your belongings back.
Our company has never recorded any maltreatment with clients or their belongings.
Think twice before hiring a cheap transporter. Bear in mind that the cheapestproduct will often include unseen expenses, and certainly doesn't guarantee the best service.
Manager of CARBONIE DEMENAGEMENT came round that Monday afternoon, checked what we had, discussed what we required and sent us the (extremely competitive!) quote the same evening! This was service straight out of the top drawer.Cannot recommend this company enough - they saved us when we thought we were lost and were friendly, professional, quick clean and fairly priced. Thanks CARBONIE DEMENAGEMENT, thank you so much.
I have been living for 15 years in the same flat. I had so many things that I wanted to throw away but I never did. 2 guys came and within 1 hour everything was gone. That was great! it's like to start a new life.
I originally found that it was too expensive to move with CARBONIE DEMENAGEMENT. But after I called other companies, they appeared to be the cheapest and since my husband had a back problem we decided to ask them. 4 persons worked for more than 12 hours and we saw some great job. Thanks again!
I've recently moved from London to Lausanne and my friend advised me to take CARBONIE DEMENAGEMENT. They are excellent professionals who know all about paperwork with customs, and all I needed to do was just sign the papers. I really liked that they were working like a Swiss watch.
I've recently moved from one flat in Lausanne to another one. It was not a difficult move but they helped me to clean and repaint the flat. It was really looking fine and money saving. I recommend it!
Moving is really a lot of stress and I think I chose the best quality for the price I paid. It's very quick and cheap.

Company Cooperation Profiles for H2020
Together with platinn regional antenna, the Université de Neuchâtel has interviewed the management of selected companies active in the field of material production, micro-electronic & component manufacturing and energy consulting with the aim to identify their development needs and opportunities in the H2020 program.
This initiative started in 2015 and will continue in 2016. Download the "Project brief".
Each company cooperation profile includes a short business description, main competences, possible strategic projects and suitable H2020 calls for proposals for 2016-2017 with contact details for decision makers.
Specific support jointly provided by platinn and Euresearch - Regional Office Neuchâtel - is offered to companies and particularly to SMEs, willing to develop new products, processes, services and/or technologies within the Horizon 2020 framework.
The scope of support is primarily focused on Horizon 2020 opportunities during 2016 and 2017; however it could be very beneficial also for other European funding schemes (e.g. Eurostars, Eureka).
The development of prototypes of components or complex systems, their validation and building of new value chains towards production and application is highly anticipated in these projects. The experienced coaches and advisors from platinn and Euresearch will significantly lower the administrative entry barrier, will contribute to the design of future business cases, and help to find potential partners.
For any questions, please contact Michel Delabays, liaison and support Industry and SME.

Hey everyone! I'm back with another drawing tutorial, and this one is gonna be fun for all you guys (or girls) looking for some spice. We'll be peeping in on a tutorial on "how to draw a sexy tattoo girl", in simple steps. I had fun creating this girl, and you probably will too! Keep in mind, this girl is really curvy, so it's best you're ready for all these curves. Like any fit female, their bodies are way softer and curved than males. Males have sharp edges unlike females. Anyways, I'm gonna pop in on my other tuts. Thanks for viewing and enjoy!

Noncommutative geometry is a more general formulation of geometry that does not require coordinates to commute. As such it unifies quantum theory and geometry and should appear in any effective theory of quantum gravity. In this general talk we present quantum groups as a microcosm of this unification in the same way that Lie groups are a microcosm of usual geometry, and give a flavour of some of the deeper insights they provide. One of them is the ability to interchange the roles of quantum theory and gravity by `arrow reversal'. Another is that noncommutative spaces typically carry a canonical 1-parameter evolution or intrinsic time created from the fundamental conflict between noncommuting coordinates and differential calculus. In physical terms one could say that quantising space typically has an anomaly for the spatial translation group and this forces the system to evolve. We give an example where we derive Schroedinger's equation in this way.

In the past I've written about film archives, Google Books, and online galleries. These digital resources are not just entertaining and educational, but they are invaluable tools for contemporary artists. Today, I'd like to share with you three library digital databases that are free and open to anyone. All three of these databases are black holes of time-suckage, so consider yourself forewarned.
Duke University has an impressive digital archive, by any standard. But one of their standout collections is an archive of the work of photographer William Gedney. With more than 5,000 items, you could spend all afternoon in this collection alone. There's a fantastic pictorial of the 1978 Gay Pride March commemorating the tenth anniversary of Stonewall. Also impressive, though completely unrelated, is Duke's collection of vintage advertisements called AdViews. Here you will find commercials for your favorite products from the 1950s through the 1980s. Michelob. NyQuill. American Express. Old Spice. Always Maxi-Pads. It's all there.
The New York Public Library has amassed a stunning array of digital documents and pictures. There are dozens of collections, many you might expect, like photographs of Brooklyn, the Richard Rogers collection, New York Women's Suffrage. But there are also some surprises that are unbelievably cool, Yiddish Theater Placards, Vintage Holiday Postcards, and the unfreaking believable collection of restaurant menus from 1850s through 1930s. There's some menus from old time Chicago restaurants as well. In 1854 at the Lake House Restaurant on "the corner of Michigan and Kinzie,†you can get a glass of claret for .75 cents. Not bad.
Perhaps best known for its role in National Treasure 2, the Library of Congress belongs to all of us. It's America's library, that's why the president hides all his secrets there. And you know what is also hidden there? All sorts of national treasures. There's National Jukebox, a historic collection recordings from the Victor Company between 1920-1925, all of these transferred from 78rpm. There are vintage newspapers, lots of stuff about the legislature, a performing arts digital encyclopedia, and "over one million digital photographs.†Now you can't beat that.
Check out these excellent resources. They're fun and they're free, and in the case of the Library of Congress, paid for with your tax dollar.

The latest full-length from Piney Gir sees the Kansas-born, London-based 'slightly unhinged woman' (as she's intriguingly tagged on last.fm) railing against her religious upbringing and romantic misfortunes, with varying degrees of success.
With Jesus Wept's tales of debauchery and vengeance transmitted via Angela Penhaligon's gentle, girlish voice, her Piney Gir persona is firmly established as a good girl gone bad. When it comes off, for example on 'I'm Better Off Without A Piece Of A Shell Of A Man', it's an arresting proposition. As if the song's title weren't withering enough, Piney reels off a comprehensive list of put-downs to her pathetic former beau, before finally attending his funeral just to check that he's dead.
It's the track's matter-of-fact tone that makes the spite so potent and tangible. Trouble is, for a good deal of the album, Piney instead casts herself as a cartoonish swashbuckler, a role she can't quite pull off persuasively. The record begins with the lusty '40 Days And Nights', which sees Piney attempting to lure her man away for a six-week bender, but her cutesy vocals can't quite inject the sassiness that the song requires. Meanwhile, in the galloping drama of 'The Sherrif Of San Miguel', she threatens revenge on her wayward lover, but is unable to summon enough chutzpah to really convince.
It's probably no surprise, then, that the album's most successful moments are its prettiest. The breezy toe-tapper 'Lucky Me' and the defiant melancholy of 'Fast Cryin'' both have melodies and harmonies to die for, but the pick of the bunch has to be 'Great Grey Belly', the type of open-hearted pop song that has you clutching your knees with glee. It's tracks like these that suit Penhaligon's voice perfectly – set against the jaunty backing, her lilting tones serve as a pleasingly unaffected counterpoint.
Rather than merely sticking to what it does best, it's admirable that Jesus Wept chooses instead to run the gamut of country subgenres. But while it means that the record has an impressive range, it also means it can only be considered a qualified success.

This page list 20 random phone numbers from Lebanon by default. We list these random numbers here to show different phone number formats from different countries. Maybe the numbers you see have different styles, just because these are actually real, valid phone numbers, we collected it from different yellow pages and local business dictionaries, so most of these numbers are telephone numbers. Some numbers contain '(',')' or some numbers start with the country code but others not, actually because some numbers contain area codes and some customary ways of writing.
We provide the country code above the phone number area, with this country code you can get a more accurate phone number format.

Barack Obama may have pulled off a stunning victory over Vladimir Putin in the finals of last year's inaugural World Leader March Madness (orchestrated by the folks at Foreign Policy magazine), but his road to a second title will be decidedly tougher this year.
Drawing French president Nicolas Sarkozy in the first round won't be easy, but Obama should sail through. Netanyahu in the Sweet 16? Please. German chancellor Andrea Merkel will be a tough Elite Eight opponent. (Her quick recovery from quintuple-beer spillage shows she's got toughness to spare.) In the Final Four, Obama then may battle British prime minister David Cameron (above), with whom he shared some hoops action Tuesday night in Dayton.
After all that, Obama's championship opponent will likely come down to either Putin or North Korea's Kim Jong Un, clearly the diaper dandy of this year's bunch. Assuming Un can sneak past Hugo Chavez in the opener and then (most likely) the Castro brothers, Un could end up the trendy sleeper pick in this year's tourney.
It's not too late to get your own picks in. The top 10 scorers will receive free one-year subscriptions to Foreign Policy. Go now. Hurry.

Room air conditioning
Room air conditioners can be divided in two categories:
Window and portable air conditioners
The conditioning process is helped by two fans (one for the cold and one for the hot circuit) that improve the efficiency of the system. They are usually placed in bedrooms or sitting rooms so a low noise level is essential.
Split-system air conditioners
They are used for flat and house conditioning. The hot circuit (condensing unit) is separated from the cold circuit which is usually placed in an air handler inside the house. The air handler system is commonly placed in the basement or a dedicated room. The low noise requirement here is less demanding. The condensing unit is placed outside the building. For this reason the unit and all the components must be weather resistant.
Window motors, Condenser fans and Blower motors are usually single-phase induction motors (permanent split capacitor or shaded pole)

I found an app on the iOS App Store available in both lite and paid version, but it has too many bugs. See the edit history for the name, but this is more about how I can get word back to Apple in general about bugs.
In this case, the app hangs and its GUI is not following Apple's HIG. I want to report to Apple about this app. Is there any standard procedure to do that?

Cloud-10 Accountability and Data Ownership
R1:Accountability and Data Ownership
A traditional data center of an organization is under complete control of that organization. The organization logically and physically protects the data it owns. For economical reasons, an organization may choose to use a public cloud for hosting its business services. In this case, the organization loses control of its data. This poses critical security risks that the organization needs to carefully consider and mitigate.
The severity of risks depends on the sensitivity of the data stored in the cloud. Informal blogs, twitter posts, public news, and newsgroup messages are examples of less sensitive data. The risk of hosting such data in the cloud is low. On the contrary, data such as health-related records, criminal records, credit history, and payroll information is highly sensitive business data. There are serious business and legal ramifications if such data is compromised. Therefore, the risk of hosting such data in the cloud is very high.
Since data in the cloud is physically in control of the cloud provider, the foremost risk is that of ensuring confidentiality of the stored data. Encryption can be employed to ensure confidentiality. If the cloud provider uses multi-tenancy architecture, then separate encryption keys, one per cloud consumer, should be employed.
A cloud provider may physically store a consumer's data in various countries. Such architecture poses several risks. For example, a country has its own legal system, and the cloud provider operating in that country is bound to that system. The laws of a country may force a cloud provider to permit legal officials to access the data, and any encryption keys, stored in that country's geographical boundary. The physical location of data can additionally have economic ramifications. For example, the tax rules vary based on the country in which sales orders are processed. A cloud consumer may not be able to benefit economically by processing orders in a country that offers lowest tax rates, since the cloud provider may store orders data in any country.
A cloud provider may store the consumer's data in its premises, or employ an Infrastructure-As-A-Provider (IAAS) for data storage. The provider may use multi-tenancy architecture which collocates data of multiple cloud consumers in one physical storage. This architecture may lack appropriate controls to ensure that a cloud consumer can access only its own data, and not the data of other consumers. If the cloud consumers are competitors in their business domain, then such such lack of control can pose serious business risks for the consumers.
Upon a request to delete some data, a cloud provider may only nominally delete it, and leave traces that can be used to reconstruct the original data. Such reconstructed data can be stolen, and misused, posing a significant risk to the cloud consumer.
To mitigate various data related risks, an organization that uses a cloud for conducting business should do the following:
1. Understand how the cloud provider secures the data and how the provider detects and reports a compromise.
2. Know the geographical location of the data storage, and ensure that the provider will not store data in a restricted country.
3. Know the situations in which a third party or a government can sieze the data from the provider. The provider should provide advanced notification of such event.
4. Ensure that the cloud provider appropriately protects data based on the data classification as specified by the consumer, and to address the concerns of privacy laws such as HIPPA.
5. The provider by default denies all access to the consumer's data. The consumer organization can explicitly grant access with specific privilege to desired parties.
6. The provider encrypts the data at rest, and the data in transit.
7. The provider logically isolates the data of multiple consumers in such a way so as to prevent any unauthorized access, modification, or deletion of the data.
8. Understand how the cloud provider manages ecnryption for multiple consumers. Instead of a single encryption key for all consumers, the provider should use (atleast) one key per consumer.
9. Verify that the provider destroys deleted data in such a way that it cannot be later recreated.
10. In case of a data breach, make the cloud provider pay certain penalty.
Real-world incident: On July 15, 2009, Twitter disclosed that a hacker accessed a substantial amount of company data stored on Google Apps by first hijacking a Twitter employee's official e-mail account. Though the breach had more to do with weak passwords and password resets, the incident has nevertheless drawn fresh attention to broader security and privacy concerns related to cloud computing.

This is the ultimate version of the Willem EPROM programmer. The jumpers and even the
12-dipswitch are replaced with digital switches controled by onboard microcontrollers.
The board also incoporates the most commonly used adapters on board, such as PLCC32,
FWH, and 28pin, 40 pin PIC sockets. This is also the only Willem programmer which has
the support for 6.5V Vpp, thus it truely supports these MCUs, 89C55WD(20K/6.5V,
89C51RC(32K/6.5V). The Vpp is controled by ICs which offer the most accurate voltage
within the error margin of 0,05%, thus guarranteeing the accurate and reliable
programming of your chips.

The Arizona Fall League began its season yesterday. Eight Red Sox prospects from AA and A are playing for the Peoria Javelinas, including pitcher Casey Kelly, catcher Ryan Lavarnway, and shortstop Jose Iglesias.
The others are pitchers Jason Rice, Seth Garrison, Eammon Portice, and Daniel Turpen, and outfielder Juan Carlos Linares.
Peoria lost its first game (box), but Linares went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored, and Iglesias and Lavarnway each had a hit and an RBI. FWIW, Koby Clemens is also on the team.
Peoria plays 32 games over the next five weeks. Kelly is expected to throw a total of about 35 innings.
I love the logo for the Phoenix Desert Dogs:

Outlook 2016: US Equities
- Strong employment market and robust consumer confidence make for a positive outlook
- Active fund management to differentiate itself against backdrop of increased volatility
- We are focused on sectors with secular expansion potential and prefer a domestic tilt where necessary
There is little doubt that some of the biggest risks to equity markets last year, depressed commodity prices, slowing growth in China, uncertain economic data points in Europe as well as the US, all accompanied by dollar strength – will affect 2016 as well.
We continue, however, to be constructive about the outlook for US equities, encouraged predominantly by ongoing strength in the employment market, increased evidence of rising wages, better household balance sheets, and robust consumer confidence.
Strong consumer to drive US growth
We are optimistic about the prospects for US growth based on the strength of the consumer, which ultimately accounts for two thirds of the economy.
Based on current activity indicators, we believe the US economy is growing 2-3% annually, roughly in-line with trend-line GDP growth which, when combined with moderate increases in corporate profitability, 1-2% stock repurchases, and modest multiple expansion, can provide attractive equity returns.
Other potential positives include:
- An accommodative European Central Bank and Bank of Japan
- China's ability to engineer modest growth
- The potential for dollar stabilisation and/or reversion in commodity prices/emerging markets driving greater overall global growth.
Offsets include:
- Further earnings revisions associated with those companies more exposed to oil and other commodity prices, emerging markets, and/or further dollar strength.
Certainly, slowing growth in China, subdued commodity prices, and uncertain economic data points in Europe and the US could lead to increased levels of volatility.
But given greater levels of dispersion associated with this volatility, this should provide an environment in which active management could differentiate itself from an asset management industry, struggling to beat its benchmark over the last five years.
Industry disruption creates secular growth opportunities
We see continued investment opportunity in the technology sector, our biggest overweight, as cloud computing usurps traditional business models in areas like enterprise resource planning and human resources.
The cloud offers lower total cost of ownership, faster time to market, and more flexible and user-friendly interfaces.
Also, as consumers spend more time online and on mobile devices, historical means of monetisation and commerce will give way to newer, disruptive approaches.
A stronger consumer, shopping online
We're also constructive on the US consumer, emboldened by upward pressure on wages associated with improving employment and lower gas prices.
We believe in e-commerce over traditional 'big box' retailing as selection, price, and convenience drive market-share gains.
Today e-commerce only accounts for 7% of overall retail sales, but it is growing at a compound annual growth rate of 19% versus 4% for traditional retail.
Where traditional bricks and mortar will continue to prevail is through brand and merchandising and categories that don't lend themselves to online, and in service.
Many of these names will also benefit from the resurgent consumer, when steady jobs growth over the last two years begins to manifest itself in improved wages and greater consumer expenditures.
US pharmaceuticals offer hidden value but regulatory uncertainty tempers enthusiasm
In US pharmaceuticals and biotechnology there are myriad, late-stage drug pipelines that are undervalued by Wall Street, in lieu of overvalued single-drug franchises that haven't shown research and development efficacy and are a focus for competition/generic substitutes.
But our enthusiasm is tempered heading into an election year as the time of unchallenged pricing in pharmaceuticals is coming to an end.
Direct government intervention is unlikely, but multiples will be constrained.
Industrials face multiple challenges
As we look at depressed commodities, particularly oil and gas, and at China battling to shore up weaker growth, it's difficult to be constructive on industrials, so we are underweight this sector.
Instead, we focus on the secular growth evident in certain pockets such as environmental/analytics, auto manufacturing, residential construction/HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning).
We're also watching short-cycle and inventories intently as signs of dollar stabilisation, commodity, or emerging market economic growth would really drive positive earnings revisions in the group.
Strong US dollar points to domestic exposure
As interest rate differentials persist, the result of US Federal Reserve monetary policy tightening versus European and Japanese QE, dollar strength should remain a theme in 2016.
Accordingly, we must be mindful of multi-national sales sensitivity in those areas of the S&P 500 (34% exposure to international overall) which have the highest overseas sales.
We are optimistic about the prospects for US growth based on the strength of the consumer.
These include the technology (roughly 50% exposed to international sales), materials (45%), and industrials (40%) sectors.
In technology, we feel confident that our stronger secular growth will overwhelm headwinds from dollar strength, while in industrials and materials the impact to multi-nationals was quite evident in 2015.
As such, at the margin, we've tried to emphasise domestic versus international exposure.
Growth should outperform value
Historically, in an environment with modest economic growth, growth stocks tend to outperform value.
We are confident in the prospects for the consumer given strong monthly jobs data, good housing starts and robust consumer confidence.
However wages and inflation are still fairly muted and the industrial economy is challenged.
Against that backdrop and the resulting 2% or so GDP growth we'd extrapolate, investors should gravitate to those stocks where growth is more evident.
This informs our penchant for secular growth (via overweights in technology and consumer discretionary and decent exposure in staples) and is notable in our growth premium to our S&P 500 benchmark.

Schneider Optics, Century Division
expands on their family of fisheye adapters to offer the eye-popping Xtreme Fisheye. The broadest fisheye on the market, this new attachment offers an ultrawide field of view along with pronounced barrel distortion. The Xtreme Fisheye is currently designed for use with mini DV camcorders, including the Sony HVR-Z1U.
Employing the highest grade optics, Century's Xtreme Fisheye lock mounts onto the front of the camcorder lens to provide approximately 1608 horizontal angle of view (1808 when measured diagonally). For reinforced support, this new optic interfaces with existing standard rod systems.
The Century Xtreme Fisheye is ideal for action sports, music videos — or dramatic impact shots in tight environments where capturing the field of view is otherwise impossible.
Fisheyes effectively exaggerate depth, pull nearby objects closer and cause distant objects to recede into the background. For the last decade, Century Fisheyes have proven popular for cameras from broadcast to mini DV.
Priced below $3,000, the Xtreme Fisheye will be available Fall 2005.

The first storm to bring strong winds to batter our shores has been named as 'Storm Aileen'.
This is the first storm to be named this season since names were released last week.
Today the Met Office forecast "a bright morning with some sunshine and a few showers" which becomes "cloudy this afternoon with rain spreading from the west, becoming persistent and heavy with the chance of localised flooding by the evening".
"Windy in south later. Maximum temperature 16 °C," it added.
Meanwhile for tonight the Met Office forecast "Further heavy rain during the evening with a risk of severe gales towards South Down. Then turning clearer overnight with more scattered showers. Minimum temperature 10 °C".
For tomorrow [Wednesday} forecasters say it will be "a bright day with a mixture of sunny intervals and showers, these more frequent across counties Londonderry and Antrim. Maximum temperature 16 °C".
Earlier a Met Office spokesman said a Yellow weather warning for rain was in place for parts of Northern Ireland, Northern England and Southern Scotland which warns of 30-40mm of rain falling within 6-9 hours which could cause some disruption.
Chief forecaster Frank Saunders said: "Storm Aileen is expected to bring strong winds of up to 75mph to a central segment of the UK and an Amber weather warning has been issued. As well as the strong winds, there will be some heavy rain pushing eastwards overnight which could see accumulations of 30-40mm. The low pressure system that is bringing these strong winds will move fairly swiftly from west to east over the UK and although there will still be some disruption through Wednesday morning, the winds will ease by the afternoon leaving a day of blustery showers."

The philosophy department at CSUN has an excellent, well-trained faculty that is dedicated to nurturing the inner philosopher in each undergraduate. Class sizes are small, generally ranging from 20 to 34 students per class, which allows instructors to teach philosophy as it is taught at the most selective colleges and universities in America. A small class size creates a superior learning environment, where each student can explore his or her own philosophical views. It also allows the instructor to dedicate time to help each student strengthen his or her critical thinking, reading and writing skills. Philosophy at CSUN continues

What Is Philosophy?
Philosophy is the only discipline that investigates everything. It is also the only discipline that challenges everything, even itself. This is what separates philosophy from the sciences, history, literature and the arts. Although philosophy and these other disciplines share some of the same goals (along with scientists, philosophers want to uncover the nature of reality; along with historians, philosophers want to understand where we have come from; and along with artists, philosophers want to stimulate novel questions about human experience), philosophy alone aims to see how they are connected and to understand what makes them possible. What Is Philosophy? continues
Benefits of a Philosophy Major
Philosophy majors outperform nearly all other majors on the standardized tests used to get into graduate and professional schools, such as the GMAT, GRE, LSAT and MCAT. Some of the most successful business executives and entrepreneurs were philosophy majors. Employers in all fields recognize the value of studying philosophy. There are many current reports on this. The study of philosophy can help one become a creative and independent thinker. Many of the most important skills for academic and professional success are honed Benefits of a Philosophy Major continues

Perhaps the strangest news of the day, if not much longer, is that cult 90's shooter Rise of the Triad is getting a remake.
Considering a whole generation of gamers has now grown up likely not having played the thing, they're probably wondering, what's all the fuss about?
Here's what all the fuss is about.
• It had dual-wielding pistols! This was 1994-95, not 2004-05, so that was pretty great.
• The game's developers called themselves "The Developers of Incredible Power".
• Believe it or not, RotT was originally planned as an expansion pack for Wolfenstein. Hence the presence of a few WW2 weapons in an otherwise contemporary game.
• For the time (actually, also for this time), it was gory. So gory that, if you could chain enough exploding enemies together, you'd get congratulated with a "Ludicrous Gibs!" message.
• RotT was one of the first ever PC shooters to feature a large and robust multiplayer mode, with around 10 players supported.
• The game was designed by Tom Hall, a co-founder of id Software and a guy who would later also play a leading role on the original Deus Ex.

Idaho woman wins 2014 HGTV Dream Home contest
TRUCKEE, Calif. — A Boise, Idaho, woman is the proud owner of the 2014 HGTV Dream Home in Schaffer's Mill.
Laura Martin was notified Tuesday she won the 3,200-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom house, beating out more than 72 million entries.
"I have been dreaming about winning the dream home for the last 2 months and yesterday that dream came true!" Martin said in a Wednesday statement.
Martin entered to win the house every day the contest was open (Dec. 27 and Feb. 14), she said, with her name randomly drawn on Feb. 26.
"I had looked at the house online everyday and taken the virtual tours of the house and the surrounding community," Martin said. "The fact that the home was in the Schaffer's Mill community with the golf course and the beautiful (town) nearby was what made us dream of trying to win the house we (she and her family) would want to grow old in."
Nearby is historic downtown Truckee, the Truckee River and Lake Tahoe.
Described as "new mountain" architecture, the two-wing, open-floor plan house incorporates some modern touches with its traditional mountain design.
In addition to winning the fully furnished and custom-built home, Martin gets a new GMC vehicle and $250,000 in cash — a prize package valued at nearly $2 million. This marks the 18th HGTV Dream Home giveaway.
HGTV will air her win at 2 p.m. PST on April 11. To learn more, visit http://www.hgtv.com/dream-home.
