Mojang's Scrolls launching in beta next month
Scrolls will launch in beta next month at a discounted price, following the same progressive pricing structure of Minecraft.
Mojang's next game Scrolls is set to launch in beta in late April, following the same iterative development cycle as Minecraft. The company will sell it at a discounted rate during the beta period, and then work towards making improvements based on community feedback.
Co-founder and designer Jakob Porser explained the release to Polygon, but didn't give specific release details or pricing. He did, however, say it would be set at a similar price to Minecraft, which originally sold for 10 euros, then progressively ticked up to 15 and finally 20. In US dollars, that's approximately $13, $19, and $25, respectively.
Scrolls is aiming for a release on PC first, followed by Mac and possibly Linux. Mojang is considering letting players pay for cosmetic items or deeper stat tracking, but Porser said he wants to to keep the core experience "as far away from monetization as possible."
As far as being compared to Minecraft's breakout success, Porser seems unconcerned. "The way we approach it is this is the game we wanted to make," he said. "We realize it's a narrow genre compared to what Minecraft has become. I have no expectation that Scrolls is going to sell way beyond Minecraft, absolutely not. What I would like is for the game to find a core, a bunch of players that actively love the game. The beautiful thing with Mojang and the success of Minecraft is that we really don't have that pressure, that every game has to sell x amount of copies or we're going to go bankrupt. So we're in a good position that we can experiment and try some of the stuff that we want to do and we are going to do that."
Steve Watts posted a new article, Mojang's Scrolls launching in beta next month.

Dialing up a tea timer to keep track of his allowed time remaining in the bathroom, Paul pushed through the ultra-wide entrance and had the place to himself. Of course he did, he was out of sync with the whole floor. Stepping up to the urinal he maneuvered his trex in front of him so it would be hidden, just in case anyone bounded through the door. There was, however, a problem.

(Reuters) - Donald Graham, the chairman and CEO of The Washington Post Co, started talking to Amazon.com's Jeff Bezos less than a month before cinching a $250 million deal to sell the flagship newspaper to the tech entrepreneur.
"I asked him why he wanted to do it and his reasons are the best ones: he believes in what newspapers do and what the Post does and that it's important to the country," Graham said in a phone interview on Monday.
Graham said that he and his niece Katharine Weymouth, the Post's publisher, made the decision to put the newspaper up for sale earlier this year after looking at its financial forecasts.
"For the first time in either of our lives we said to each other: is ownership by the Washington Post Co the best thing for the newspaper? We could keep it alive, that wasn't the issue. The issue was could we make it strong," Graham said.
The company announced the deal earlier on Monday, a move that would end the Graham family's 80-year ownership of one of the country's most influential publications.
Washington Post Co retained Allen & Co to start gauging interest from potential buyers early this year. "We had conversations with no more than a dozen other parties," Graham said, declining to name anyone other Bezos.
"To my surprise, when (Allen & Co) said they would call him. I said that would be great but I didn't think he would be interested," he added.
After a few months of silence, Bezos and Graham decided to meet during Allen & Co's annual media conference in Sun Valley, Idaho in early July. They had two meetings, Graham said.
"I named a price and Jeff agreed to pay it," he said.

Desired Style:
Open to Ideas
Accepted File Formats:
Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai)
James Thomas Heating and Cooling is a service company. We market indoor comfort. We emphasis a whole house approach to comfort (as opposed to fixing a broken furnace). We think through indoor comfort issues and present the home / building owner with solutions relating to air quality, temperature and energy savings.Â
We'd like to distinguish ourselves from the usual blue / red air movement style logos. We are looking for something more representative of the whole house comfort concept which includes pure clean air, perfect temperature throughout, comfortable happy occupants.
Some images that come to mind are: buildings, homes, leaves (for the clean air aspect of our business), windows (into a comfortable environment). Colors that come to mind are blue, red, green but I leave it up to your descretion.Â
James Thomas is the company name. Heating and Cooling is the tag line. Because of the importance of placement on the sides of our vans, we would like a logo that stylizes James Thomas alone or one that uses some type of symbol within the name (like on the O) or to the side of the name. We do not want a graphic above the name because we need the name high up on the side of the vans for maximum readability.
I like maybe one color in the name but use some outlines, variations in color or shadows.
Thank you for your time and interest in my contest. I will provide feedback to all and pay the winner promptly.Â

As the USGA pushes for a ban on belly putters, one strange man is taking drivers the same way. This is Michael Furrh, an Arlington (Texas) golf pro, taking a swing with a 14-foot-2.5-inch club. Guinness World Record auditors were on hand, and the ball traveled 146 yards. Perhaps it's not the most practical of drivers, but it's great for fishing your ball out of the water.

An active range sensor is summarised. This sensor can direct its field of view in order to fixate on range features for mobile robot navigation. The image position sensor used has a Gaussian noise characteristic with measurable variance, which makes the sensor particularly amenable to stochastic range feature detection. A geometric analysis of the sensor allows a mathematical model of the sensor to be built, the parameters of which can be determined from data collected during the calibration of the real sensor. This model forms the basis of a sensor simulation, which allows allows feature extraction algorithms to be developed. One such algorithm, based on the Extended Kalman Filter, extracts a piecewise-linear range representation of the local environment. This has a number of advantages over previous methods in that it is computationally efficient, it deals with noise appropriately, and it is robust to sensor head movements as range measurements are being made.

It has been rewarding for me, as I have been able to hopefully help make this City a little nicer place to live.
It has been great to work with the many people who have served with me on the City Council, the City Employees, Volunteer Firemen and the many, many volunteers serving on the Planning Commission, Parks& Beautification, Golf Board, Recreation, Airport, Economic Development, and V.M.T.E. committees.
Monticello is truly fortunate to have so many good, civic-minded people helping us have a great community to live, work and play.
It has also been rewarding to be able to work with all the fine people throughout this San Juan County, Southeast Utah in the Association of Local Governments, and with the State and Federal people.
Many times people in Politics are demonized in the news and general, but I can assure you that by and large most are just trying to do their best to help all of us have better lives.
Some of the improvements to our community that I have been blessed to be a small part of are: the Hideout Golf Course, the Visitors Center, the Swimming Pool, Mill Site Memorial Park, Veterans Memorial, San Juan Health Clinic, new Operating Room at San Juan Hospital, replacement of 19.5 miles of water collection pipeline and collection points, rebuilding of Main and Center Streets and infrastructure, other street improvements, our new Airport.
These have been able to go forward with help of many, many, people's efforts and vision.
Monticello has some great things happening in the near future, two of which are the Community Center at the Hideout Golf Course, and the Canyon Country Discovery Center just north of the City.
I again thank all our your for your support and help through my time serving. It has been a pleasure.
I wish our new Mayor Tim Young and the City Council the best and hope all of you will support their efforts to improve our City.
Sincerely Doug Allen, Mayor of Monticello, 2006-2013

"Wine Country Inns of Sonoma County is pleased to announce a very special package featuring a total sensory experience for you. "Purveyor to Palate" pairs a 2 night stay during July and August at one of our member inns with a five course dinner for two at a Michelin two- star restaurant - Cyrus, preceded by a unique tour of three of the purveyors to the restaurant. Experience this unique opportunity at a price starting as low as $519 (exluding tax, gratuity and wine at dinner and subject to availability). Please visit www.WCInns.com/foodie or call 1.800.946.3268."
Now, I've stayed at some fab inns up there, and you really can't miss with any of them. Go to the website and check them out-each is different and will appeal to a different sort of guest. Vintage Towers is really into the whole locavore movement; Hope-Merrill and Hope-Bosworth inns are big on winemaking (you can even pick your own grapes and make wine if you join their classes), and the Glenelly Inn has ongoing cooking classes.
In short, they're all pretty food-and-wine crazy. Which is why this deal is so great for true food fanatics, because it comes with a five-course dinner at Cyrus, which may be the only Michelin-starred restaurant in the county. My dinner at Cyrus was an unforgettable experience, from the brilliant and beautiful cocktails,to the indulgent Champagne and caviar cart to the foie gras three ways (all served by a wait staff who circle around your table like ballet dancers).
Okay, two nights' lodging and a fab dinner-what are we waiting for? If you want a memorable weekend, this package is worth a splurge.

Good Lord, it's been over 5 years since I posted here last. God those old posts were painful, was such a greenhorn back then.
After 5 long years...
It's finally finished!
For those who may be unfamilar...
Me and some friends from both the kaijuphile and kaijugalaxy forums have been working on a massive several hundred page fan fiction novel called 'When Aliens Attack!' which takes on the following idea…
The premise is this, what if one of the various alien races that plague the Godzilla universe finally succeeded in taking Godzilla out once and for all? Our story addresses this directly as well as the repercussions as various alien races come out of the wood work to lay claim to the Earth and to avenge previous defeats. Also, once word spreads that the mighty king of the monsters has at last fallen, it further spurns the various invaders into action. The Nebulans(the cockroach aliens from Godzilla vs. Gigan)are responsible for Godzilla's defeat with the help of Ghidorah and Gigan, but other races including the Kilaaks(Destroy All Monsters), the Simeons(the Planet of the Apes rejects from Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla), the Planet X Xians(Monster Zero), the Mysterians(from the film of the same name), the Virans(from the Gamera film Destroy All Planets)and last but not least, the Gudis(from the series Ultraman Towards The Future)all want the Earth for themselves now.
With all these respective races come vast amounts of alien weaponry and more monsters than you can shake a stick at. In the meantime the undersea kingdoms of Mu(Atragon)and Seatopia(Godzilla vs Megalon) initiate a reunification with the surface world and the human race to help defend the Earth from the alien invaders, but all is not as it seems on both sides of the fence. Secret alliances are forged and treachery abounds all over.
We combine characters and kaiju from the Showa era(1954-75), the Heisei era(1984-95) and the Millennium films as well. But our story as a whole is deeply steeped and rooted in the Showa era more than anything else. As a result of this sort of...combining, for lack of a better term, certain events in kaiju history have been either altered slightly, changed completely or totally removed depending, but some things have remained exactly the same. We have included allot of background material in links on the top left of the main page along with a timeline to help readers make better sense out of the things that make our story different from the films, we hope that helps.
For this story we have decided to explore and expand on these various aliens which in the films they originally appeared in had little or no character development to speak of. We take a deep look into their political, military and personal lives as we examine the machinations that drive these races to conquer and attempt to understand why they must.
The story also features kaiju from Daiei, Tsuburaya, and other studios along with Toho. Monsters who step up to the plate in Godzilla's absence be it good or evil include Mothra, Gudis, King Kong, King Ghidorah, Gamera, Megalon, Mechagodzila and Titanosaurus. But there are still a ton of other kaiju in this huge close to 500 page book. Like the aliens we try to give the monsters more personality as well as we verbalize their thoughts and implement into our story something that we have come to call kaiju speak, whereas the beasts can actually talk to one another, albeit to any human bystander what they say is unintelligible.
We successfully promoted this story in its early stages at G-FEST 2007, and I did so again at this year's G-FEST just a couple of weeks ago.
The bottom line is this, none of us ever claimed to be good writers, but that didn't stop us from trying to put together what will hopefully be a fun and very entertaining story for fans of kaiju and science fiction alike.

You can easily imagine this undulating three-person bench at a crazy surreal garden party hosted by Salvador Dalí. Named Baud, it was created by Vito Selma, and it was designed to be a "tribute to the ocean."
The above statement sounds really ridiculous when you write it out but those are literally the designer's words. He also says it captures the "essence of the wave," so there's a chance he's plagiarizing from Glade Plug-ins commercials. However, you can kind of see what he's getting at and his crackpipe descriptions don't make this multiple occupant chair any less wonderful. [Chairblog]

New site helps donors find really effective charities In Colorado and across the U.S.
More than ever, donors care about the impact their philanthropic investments are having in the world. They're rightfully demanding demonstrable outcomes so that they know that their charitable dollars are making a real difference.
Now, there's a new, free resource available to donors to help them find the nonprofit organizations that are having a proven impact on the issues they care about. The S&I 100 is the first-ever broad index of nonprofits that are a) demonstrating high-impact interventions, b) are serving large numbers of people, c) are expanding to serve even more people with their successful programs, and d) have demonstrated impact validated by third-party studies.
The site breaks down the issues so that you can focus on those that interest you the most. The categories of nonprofits are:
- Education (including teacher & principal training, reading/math, charter schools, college access, early education and K-12 reform)
- Poverty (including job/career development, asset development, economic development, housing & homelessness and microlending)
- Youth (including after0school & out-of-school, mentoring, and personal & leadership development
- Health (including health services/access, maternal& child health, mental health, aging and fitness & nutrition)
Some of the nonprofits highlighted with a strong presence in Colorado (and elsewhere!) are:
- I Have a Dream Foundation
- Big Brothers Big Sisters
- City Year
- College Summit
- Facing History and Ourselves
- Invest in Kids
- Kipp Foundation
- National Association for Urban Debate Leagues
- Nurse-Family Partnership
- Teach for America
- and many more.
The S&I 100 is a valuable tool for those philanthropists willing to take a deeper dive to make sure they are having a real impact, with measurable outcomes, from their charitable donations.

Scientists have found a cloud of gas that has been twisted into a pigtail right in the center of our galaxy. It seems that we often find these massive "pigtails" in space. Want to find out why?
Observing the sky with a radio telescope, researchers from Keio University found what they briefly called a giant "helical molecular cloud" in the galactic center. They quickly renamed it a "pigtail" cloud, and set about studying it more closely. And it wasn't an anomaly. There seem to be a lot of pigtails in space — especially around the jets of black holes and in the corona of the sun. What causes the universe to make these corkscrew curls?
Magnets! Or at least magnetic force. Scientists noticed that the cosmic pigtails tended to be around a lot of astronomical phenomena associated with magnetic forces. When two molecular clouds find themselves on a collision course next to a structure with high magnetic flux, a few things happen, according to Keio scientists:
The magnetic "tube" perpendicular to the galactic disc exists between two giant molecular clouds. Those clouds move along the main two elliptical orbits around the galactic nucleus. The magnetic tube is twisted and squeezed to become a helical structure during the frictional contact. The molecular gas is captured by the twisted magnetic tube, and then forms the "pigtail" molecular cloud.
Alternately, pigtails could form in space for the same reason they form on pigs - as an unintended consequence of domestication. Probably, though, the astronomers have it right.

Hayden Panettiere won't be saying "I do" anytime soon, despite what her recent bling might imply.
The Nashville star rebuffed rumors that she is engaged to boxer boyfriend Wladimir Klitschko. Speculation ran rampant last week when she was photographed at the ABC upfront party wearing a dazzling ring on her right hand. At Sunday's Billboard Music Awards, Panettiere didn't full-out deny she was engaged, but pointed to her hand and said "no ring" when asked by a reporter, according to E! News.
The hottest looks from the 2013 Billboard Music Awards
Although the couple did not walk the red carpet together, Panettiere did confirm her boyfriend's attendance. "He's wandering," she said. "He's taking my friends out back."
The Nashville season finale airs Wednesday at 10/9c on ABC.

Windward Grille Chowder Wins People's Choice Award at Essex Clam FestPosted: October 26th, 2010 | Author: JR | Filed under: Essex, Event, Seafood | Tags: Captain Dusty's, Down River Ice Cream, Emerson Inn, Essex Clam Fest, Ipswich Ale, Ipswich Clambake, J.T. Farnham's, Lobsta Land, Periwinkles, Shea's Riverside, Windward Grille, Woodman's | No Comments »
If you're tired of watching those judges on TV taste all that delicious food prepared by chefs, Essex Clam Fest is the place for you. We had a great time on Saturday sampling eight chowders prepared by local restaurants and voting on our favorite.
The lines were long, but the weather was great, and there was plenty to evaluate as we waited for our next sample. Although there was no chowder we didn't like at all, there were definitely standouts. The ones that didn't wow us included Lobsta Land (too watery, too much herb flavor) and J.T. Farnham's (too thin, too buttery, too much pepper).
In the middle were Shea's Riverside (large clams but a bit too heavy and perhaps too much nutmeg), Emerson Inn (made with salt pork for great flavor, but it overwhelmed the seafood a bit), and Woodmans (good consistency, good flavor, but mushy pototoes).
Our favorites were Ipswich Clambake (creamy but not thick, large clams, lots of perfectly-cooked potatoes, very good flavor) and Windward Grille (great seafood taste, perfect consistency, large chunks of potatoes and clams).
Windward Grille was also the winner of the people's choice award. Speaking of awards, Periwinkles won the judges award, and it was one of our least favorite samples, so we're going to disqualify ourselves on that one. Our sample was very thick and tasted burned, so we're guessing we got a bad batch.
The tasting cost $5 and began at 12:00. We got there just about that time to be sure we'd be able to participate, but the tasting was still going strong until it ended at 2:00. Several of the restaurants brought 40 gallons of chowder!
With our bellies full, we walked the rest of the event, which included pony rides and other children's activities, a variety of craft booths, and live music.
We were glad to see the Ipswich Ale Tapmobile, which carries eight taps ($4 per pint). Although their Pumpkin Ale sounded festive, we opted for the Stonecat Hefeweizen, which was bright and refreshing. Both Captain Dusty's and Down River had ice cream stands set up. Along with the usual flavors, Dusty's was serving samples of "cold clam chowder," a truly unique eating experience. By the way, they're opening for one day in December with holiday flavors like pumpkin pie and egg nog: 12/4 from noon to 4:00 at the Manchester location only.
We love Dusty's, but Down River is our absolute favorite, and they did not let us down. They were serving large portions in their delicious waffle cups for $3, and their caramel apple flavor is to die for.
So if you have a secret desire to be a food judge, mark your calendars for next year's festival, and in the meantime, get yourself to Windward Grille for a bowl of outstanding chowder.

sociology, scientific study of human social behavior. As the study of humans in their collective aspect, sociology is concerned with all group activities—economic, social, political, and religious. Sociologists study such areas as bureaucracy, community, deviant behavior, family, public opinion, social change, social mobility, social stratification, and such specific problems as crime, divorce, child abuse, and substance addiction. Sociology tries to determine the laws governing human behavior in social contexts; it is sometimes distinguished as a general social science from the special social sciences, such as economics and political science, which confine themselves to a selected group of social facts or relations.

A Christmas tree is one of the important traditions of Christmas where the people decorate the tree and place it in their home. The Christmas trees are usually an evergreen wood like fir, pine, or spruce or. You can also find an artificial tree with a similar appearance, related to the festivity of Christmas. The new hip Christmas tree was found in early contemporary Germany (Currently it is known as Christbaum and Weihnachtsbaun).
For the Christmas holidays, the tree was decorated traditionally with apples, roses made with colored papers, tinsel, wafers, and sweetmeats. This tradition started in the 18th century, earlier the Christmas tree was decorated with candles, but now it is replaced with electric lights. Currently, you can find a large variety of customary ornaments like baubles, garlands, candy canes, and tinsel.
On the top of the Christmas tree, now people are putting a star on an angle, which represents the Star of Bethlehem or the Archangel Gabriel from the Nativity. Later, the tradition included other tasty items like chocolate, gingerbread, and other sweets, and people decorate the Christmas tree with this sweet treats and tie ribbons on the branches.
Check out our collection of 2 White Christmas Trees below.
These beautiful fir trees are decorated by people during the winter festivals. These traditions have been there for thousands of years and still, people are following it. The Pagans used to decorate the branches of the fir tree during the peak winter so that they wait for the spring. The Romans use to decorate the fir tree at their temples during the Saturnalia festival. The Christians decorate the fir tree for their eternal life with God.
Today, Christmas festivity and decoration is not complete without a Christmas tree. We have a large collection of Christmas trees; you can select the best one for your Christmas decorations. You can choose the best artificial Christmas trees in unusual and realistic colors. You can also find a small tree that can fit perfectly on a mantelpiece or table.

Cher Lloyd (19) got her start on the UK's pop talent competition The X Factor back in 2010, and although she didn't win the ultimate competition, Cher's place as a finalist certainly helped kickstart her career.
"Want U Back," The third single off her US debut album is just as catchy as pop music gets. And the little Grrrrs she sprinkles throughout make it extra special. It's a guilt pleasure song. Enjoy it, darling.

In the Season 2 finale of Nikita – recently picked up for a third season, much to the happiness of its loyal viewers – Nikita (Maggie Q) and Michael (Shane West) are trapped at Division, in an attempt to capture Percy (Xander Berkeley), and Ryan (Noah Bean) must convince the President of the United States not to destroy Division until he is sure that Nikita and Michael are safely out of the building. But, when it comes to The CW drama series, things never turn out how the characters expect, inevitably leading Nikita and Percy to the face-off that fans have been anxiously waiting for.
During this recent interview to promote the finale, which airs on May 18th, show star Maggie Q talked about what viewers can expect from the final showdown, the big question that the season ends with, the mind-set of the characters, memorable Nikita and Michael moments, that there will be loss, and what she would like to see in Season 3. Check out what she had to say after the jump, and be aware that there are some spoilers:
Question: How did you feel about the ending of "Crossbow" (Episode 22)?
MAGGIE Q: Wasn't that great?! I love that they always run the finales as two episodes. The last two episodes are always one big story. Yeah, the clock is ticking, but she's also not listening to anyone. She's got herself in a position where she's serious. She doesn't want to live like this anymore. She's pissed, so she's going down. She's being reckless, but when isn't she? But, this time, she really isn't listening to anyone.
What can you say to tease the season finale, "Homecoming" (Episode 23)?
MAGGIE Q: Nikita is back at Division and she's stuck now. Michael (Shane West) has come down and he's trying, but they're still separated. And then, Birkhoff (Aaron Stanford) is upstairs, and Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) and Sean (Dillon Casey) are making out somewhere. Everybody is separated, but they still have this one goal, which makes it very dangerous. Her com is not working, so she's completely off the grid down there. We don't know what's going to happen to her. It's the beginning of the end. This is where everything starts to unravel, and nothing is going to turn out the way that they expect it to. It's pretty cool. I'm excited!
Does the season end on a cliffhanger?
MAGGIE Q: No, not a cliffhanger, but it definitely leaves a big question. I certainly don't expect people to expect what's going to happen, in the end. I'm not saying that it's an impossibility, but you would never think that it's going to go that way. The tables completely turn. Last season, there was a little bit of resolve, in that Michael and Nikita were together in a car, driving off, so that was cool. And then, you had Alex going to the dark side, and the storm was coming in. You had both, and you have to do that. If it were me, I wouldn't want any happy ending. I'd want it just to be a cliffhanger. But, I think people need a little bit of hopefulness, so we're going to give them a little bit. I will say that there's going to be a lot of shocker before there's hope, for sure. Eagle Egilsson, who's from Iceland, directed our last episode and he's our most visually stunning director. The production value was up the wazoo.
Will there be a face-off between Percy (Xander Berkeley) and Nikita?
MAGGIE Q: Yes, definitely! And, it's a long time coming. What's interesting about the episode is that you're going to see a Percy and Nikita dynamic. Percy puts her in a position where you have to see her working together with him, which is just so putrid and disgusting for her. She could either off him or help him, but only helping him will allow her to reach her goal. It just becomes this whole juxtaposition of, "I have to do this, but hate this human being." It's weird. You're going to see them having each other's back.
What can you say about the dynamic between Birkhoff and Sonya (Lyndie Greenwood), and them working together in the finale?
MAGGIE Q: They're cute, huh? They're such a cute element. I really like them. There's going to be a cute little pay-off moment with them, in the finale, which is good. It's awesome how they did the lead-up. They were on two different ends, but there was this mutual banter and attraction. They're finally, at some point, going to have some proxy, to be able to actually have a face-to-face, which is going to be cool.
What is the mind-set like, at the end of the finale? Is keeping this group of people together still feasible for Nikita?
MAGGIE Q: I had this moment, three or four episodes ago, where Michael and Nikita were looking at them, and everybody was on the couch, and I was like, "What show is this? What is this, Central Perk?" Everybody was sitting there and happy, and it was this very odd moment. I was like, "We can't have happy couch moments going on, in the show." It is a reality that Nikita can bring all these people together and keep them together as long as she can, but it's going to take a third season to see where that goes. The fun, main reason for a third season would be to go into the intricacies of what could happen with that group. You see Birkhoff, who's central, but Michael and Nikita have their own issues, from time to time. And, Alex and Sean have this little love thing going on now, so who knows? They could go off. We don't really know. The over-arcing theme of Season 2 was home. So, in the end of Season 2, we understand what home is to her and what it isn't, and how she's come full circle, in that way, which is beautiful. As a person, I find that emotion cool.
How fun was it to shoot the kiss between Birkhoff and Nikita?
MAGGIE Q: It was so cute! That made me laugh, so hard. Craig [Silverstein] and the writers have always said that there was always an undertone that Birkhoff has always been in love with her. He's a techie, but they recruited him very young, and they weren't too far off in age when she was recruited, so they were good buddies, but there was always this undertone of the nerd and her. They were close, but he never, every told her how he felt. We're never, ever going to get into that because it's cheesy and it's dumb. It's just one of those things that happened in high school, that you forget about, but it happened. Birkhoff doesn't think he's ever going to see her again, so he's like, "You know what? I know your boyfriend is right there, but I don't care. I love you. You brought us all together. Good luck, and I hope you come back." When I read it, I laughed so hard. And then, Aaron texted me and said, "Hey, Birkhoff gets some action!" I texted him back and was like, "I know! It's cool!" Michael just watches him and doesn't say anything. It was perfect. And Aaron is such a wonderful actor that it was just this nice moment for him that was like, "I know I joke around a lot and I say stupid things and we have fun, but if I really don't see you again, I want you to know that I truly love you as a friend and as all these things." Because Aaron is so good, it was a perfectly written scene for him.
Are viewers going to see Amanda (Melinda Clarke) again?
MAGGIE Q: I didn't want her to come back until Season 3 because of the way that she went out. It was so epic, and it was very subtle. You've got to be a true fan, or someone like me, who has no life. That moment of her and Ari (Peter Outerbridge), in that danky motel room, sitting on the bed, and it's these two fallen warriors, was so epically perfect to me. Melinda is so wonderful. She thinks about all these little eccentricities. She's sitting straight up, like she would in her little boudoir room, and she's still got the poise. She's hanging on so hard to this thing that she'll never have again. Not in that way, ever again. It was pathetic and perfect. And then, they have this box and you're like, "Oh, god, they're not gone!" I love Melinda and wish she was in every single episode, but because of the way she went out, I didn't want her to come back and cheapen that out. She will be back, but she doesn't come back in the way you think. I still get my dream, but you will see her.
Are there any moments with Nikita and Michael, in the finale, that fans will enjoy?
MAGGIE Q: I think we'll end on a Mikita moment, visually. It is a beautiful moment between them, that's one of the most visually beautiful things you've ever seen. It really was a magical weather moment. And it's nice because, after Episode 19, there's no more wall. You see Nikita being a little bit more open with Michael. You either get over that and move on, and you're over that and you've changed, or you go back into the darkness. I think she is ready to be a little bit more forthcoming about who she is and the things that she's never talked about or said. We get a little bit of that in the end, which is going to be super-nice.
Is the Cassandra (Helena Mattsson) chapter closed?
MAGGIE Q: In Season 3, maybe Nikita will get to shoot her in the head. No, we've decided that that chapter is closed. You have to close it because of the kid. You can't keep going back to it. If you kill her, then we'd have a kid. That relationship, having even a friendship, would put the kid in danger and Michael is much to selfless for that. It was a perfect problem to have, and it was a perfect problem to go away and come back, like it did. I liked that storyline.
Will viewers see more of Ryan Fletcher (Noah Bean) in Season 3?
MAGGIE Q: Yes, very much, which is super-cool. He's just such a different guy. You have Percy, who's the villain. And then, you have the Birkhoff character, who's easy to love and who everybody loves, and he's super-cute and funny. And then, you have the brooding, sexy leading man character with Michael. And then, you have this beautiful, intelligent, grounded character of Ryan Fletcher, which I love. They're all different men, which is cool. I think he'd be such an asset to the show.
Should viewers expect any deaths of people they care about, in the finale?
MAGGIE Q: Yes. There will be loss, and I don't mean a plant. I was pretty torn about it. I understand all the elements that make this show work, and why they work because of those elements, but I was a little bit torn about taking a very important quality element out of what we've done for two years. But, at the end of the day, Nikita's journey has to move forward. To do that, there has to be some big gain or some big loss. Only through those emotions do you grow. We rarely grow when we're happy, we grow when we hurt.

The founding members of Business for Innovative Climate and Energy Policy, to be known as BICEP, are Levi Strauss & Co., Nike, Starbucks, Sun Microsystems and The Timberland Company.
BICEP members believe that climate change impacts will ripple across all sectors of the economy and that new business perspectives are needed to solve the climate and energy challenges facing America.
"These companies have a clear message for next year's Congress - move quickly on climate change to kick-start a transition to a prosperous clean energy economy fueled by green jobs," said Mindy Lubber, president of Ceres, the coalition of investors and public interest groups that helped to organize BICEP.
The BICEP companies said today that greenhouse gas reduction targets should be set to at least 25 percent below 1990 levels by 2020 and 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. Of all the target figures demanded by various groups, these are some of the strictest.
To accomplish these goals, they would like to see the incoming administration of President-elect Barack Obama and the new Democrat-controlled Congress establish an economy-wide greenhouse gas cap-and-trade system that auctions 100 percent of carbon pollution allowances, promotes energy efficiency and accelerates clean energy technologies.
BICEP's plan includes a redoubling of energy efficiency efforts, fuel-efficient vehicles, plug-in electric hybrids, low-carbon fuels, and transit-oriented development.
They would stimulate job growth through investment in climate-based solutions, especially green-collar jobs in low-income and climate-vulnerable communities.
They would have the government adopt a national renewable portfolio standard requiring 20 percent of electricity to be generated from renewable energy sources by 2020, and 30 percent by 2030.
Clean energy can lead to green collar jobs, such as manufacturing wind turbines at this new Clipper Windpower plant in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. (Photo courtesy Clipper Windpower)
And they would limit construction of new coal-fired power plants to those that capture and store carbon emissions. They would create incentives for carbon capture technology on new and existing plants, and phase out existing coal-based power plants that do not capture and store carbon by 2030.
The new coalition's goal is to work directly with key allies in the business community and members of Congress to pass meaningful energy and climate change legislation.
They will likely find allies among the member companies and environmental groups in the U.S. Climate Action Partnership, USCAP, a coalition of 26 corporations and six nonprofit environmental and conservation organizations established in January 2007 to encourage goverment to establish a cap-and-trade program for carbon emissions.
USCAP held a press conference in Washington Tuesday to make the economic case for cap-and-trade legislation that they would like to see written soon after the Obama administration picks up the reins of power.
The non-partisan group said that cap-and-trade legislation is urgently needed to prevent the serious impacts of climate change and will create new economic opportunities.
"While the magnitude of needed reductions are not free of costs, legislation is necessary to spur innovation in green technologies that will create jobs, increase economic activity and provide the foundation for a vibrant, low-carbon economy," USCAP said in a statement.
"The economic opportunity embedded within the shift away from fossil fuels is historic," said David Crane, NRG Energy's chief executive. "For example, think of the enormous fortunes made by those who were on the right side of the shift from the horse to the internal combustion engine. The right climate solution, a moderate price on carbon, can help create real economic opportunities."
"Investment in new technologies and the infrastructure needed for a low-carbon economy are effective ways to generate the jobs and economic growth the U.S. needs to address the current economic crisis," said James Rogers, CEO of Duke Energy. "We must position the U.S. to succeed in the new low-carbon, global economy and this is the best way to accomplish that."
USCAP includes the following corporations and environmental NGOs: Alcoa, AIG, Boston Scientific, BP America, Caterpillar, ConocoPhillips, Chrysler, John Deere, Dow, Duke Energy, DuPont, Environmental Defense Fund, Exelon, Ford, FPL Group, General Electric, General Motors, Johnson & Johnson, Marsh, National Wildlife Federation, Natural Resources Defense Council, NRG Energy, The Nature Conservancy, PepsiCo, Pew Center on Global Climate Change, PG&E, PNM Resources, Rio Tinto, Shell, Siemens, World Resources Institute, and Xerox.
At the press conference, Environmental Defense Fund President Fred Krupp cited a recent University of Maryland study showing that unchecked climate change will strain public budgets and cut growth across all sectors of the economy.
By contrast, a cap-and-trade program designed to cut carbon emissions could provide an economic stimulus, he said.
"A cap can instantly create new customers and new jobs for U.S. manufacturers in the supply chain for clean energy. Think of wind turbines and all of the cement and steel that go into them," said Krupp. "It's the energy and economic revitalization policy America needs now."

cyberscribe1 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 33 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
This is for a site re-design for a jewelry designer who specializes in one-of-a-kind gold jewelry. His clients are "high-end" buyers who don't mind dropping a chunk of change for a piece of custom jewelry, so he wants something that's "clean and elegant."
Ben Dyer Jewelry
We're starting a re-design project for a local custom jewelry designer, and we're looking for a one-page design for his new site.
The Motivation...
Ben's old site was a do-it-yourself'er, and it was made several years ago. He still loves the colors, but recognizes the design is out-dated and that the site is a tad difficult to navigate.
He has a number of customers who still keep in touch through the web site, so he wants to get a more modern, classy site online soon.
The Target
Ben's target client is typically of baby-boomer age, and is someone who doesn't mind paying for custom-designed gold jewelry. So he's really hoping for a look and feel that:
- appeals to people of baby-boomer origins
- accentuates the "look and feel" of his custom designed jewelry pieces
- is elegantYou can view the old site at http://bendyerjewelry.com/. I'm not sure if this is helpful, but it does give you an idea as what his business is about.
While Ben likes the colors of the old site, he's not married to them, so don't feel restricted if your creative juices started flowing in another color direction. I personally would applaud any efforts at breaking away from these colors... :)
Into the Client's Psyche...
Sometimes it's helpful to know what a client likes or doesn't like so you can get a feel as to the 'flavor' of the design they prefer. While we don't want to duplicate any of these designs, here are few designs Ben has indicated he likes:
- http://hillsboroughacupuncture.com/ - this is actually a site we just finished up for Ben's other business. If you look at this one, you'll see one of his custom jewelry pieces in this design.
- http://www.edlevinjewelry.com/ - these guys are much bigger than Ben, so he's not looking to duplicate their site, but he loves the look
- Final delivery should be a layered psd or png file, please!
- The name of the business is Ben Dyer Jewelry. His tagline is "Designer Goldsmith"
- You can get sample photos of his work and logo at http://18.104.22.168/~bendyerj/design/, if that's helpful
- The background color of the content area needs to match the background color of the his jewelry photos (found at the link above). Other than that, there are no color restrictions
- Do include his logo in your mockup (http://18.104.22.168/~bendyerj/desig…20logo.pdf) - he'll definitely want to see that.
- Possible menu items, if you want to use them, are: Home, About Ben, One of a Kind Pieces, Browse Ben's Designs (or something like that), Galleries, Shows, Contact Ben.
- If I've missed anything, just ask and I'll provide any additional info you need.
Let's avoid designs like these, for example:
- http://www.14kzone.com/
- http://www.bernardine.com/Other than that, I'd just like to see where your right-brain ideas take us.

Remember being a teenager? A crush you'd had for a week felt like it had lasted forever and probably meant you should marry the person, the new political idea you had was the one true belief, and so on. In teenage world, emotions run high and obsessions develop quickly. Watch what happens:
In this post from two months ago, a gay teenage boy talks about his high school ex-boyfriend who now has a girlfriend.
That's pretty tough stuff for a high schooler to deal with–and it only gets tougher when the ex starts kissing his female best friend in front of him, a little less than a month ago:
"I'll never have that with him," he thinks. He's sad–who wouldn't be?
But then comes the next phase–just five days later, this child, who previously has referred to himself only as a guy or a male, says this:
Now, he's transgender–mentioned only for the first time. But he's still confused:
Note the lack of desire to transition, just wishing he had a higher voice, not wanting to even shave or have female sex characteristics. This is a boy who is grieving the loss of an early relationship and realizing that the boy he was in a relationship with preferred girls–and he is endeavoring to become a girl. It would be heartbreaking enough … but none of the people in the groups he goes into mentions this. No one talks to him about adolescent heartbreak, or how it can make us wish we were different people just so the person we were crushing on would love us back.
Look what they tell him to do instead.
Yup. The solution proposed to this kid's heartbreak and jealousy, here, is to start acting more and more feminine. And look what it does–look what this child is saying TWO DAYS after people suggest these coping methods, and four days after saying he was comfortable with his genitals, did not want to shave, et cetera:
That's how long it takes, folks. That's how long it takes a young child who doesn't mind his body–who talks in earlier posts about how he doesn't mind his height, doesn't want to change his body, and more–to decide that permanent, irreversible bodily changes are necessary for his continued survival and happiness.
It only takes a few days, when a child is caught in the right psychological place, and transgender people on websites like Reddit are eager to guide them toward transgender ideology as a solution to their problems. Instead, it leads to increasing body dysmorphia/dysphoria (more on that later–many people in these groups have even noticed that when they leave the groups temporarily or permanently, their dysphoric feelings are eliminated) and suicidal ideation.
This is far, far, far from the only case. This is happening every day. And we'll be documenting it.

State calls young wrestling champ 'obese'
Dept. of Public Health defends letter to parents
Cameron Watson won the state championship in wrestling over the weekend by dominating the third and fourth graders in his weight class. He's 94 pounds. On the mat he's considered a star athlete. But a letter from his elementary school informed Cameron's parents the State of Massachusetts considers him obese.
The Department of Public Health mandates schools to collect height and weight information from students to calculate body mass index which they believe is an indicator of body fat.
View a slideshow of Mass. towns with most fit, least overweight kids
Cameron can do more than 40 push-ups in a minute and keeps a special healthy diet to maintain his size for sports. Yet he's big enough for the state to consider him "fat." His mother nicknamed the letter they received the "fat letter."
"I'm just big and muscly," the North Andover fourth grader said. "For the obese category that I fall into, you look like a beach ball."
Cameron looks physically fit.
At first his parents laughed thinking the state's description of their son seemed absurd. Then Cameron's mother Tracy, who's a selectwoman in North Andover, became troubled by the stories she heard from other parents who received the letter.
"Many stories about hiding it from my kid because they're already upset and struggling with self-esteem this would devastate them," said Tracy Watson.
A DPH spokeswoman defended the practice.
"Helping children maintain a healthy weight may prevent serious illness later in life," said Anne Roach. "BMI screenings are intended to raise parents' awareness about this issue."
According to DPH, the latest BMI report showed 32.3 percent of Massachusetts students were either overweight or obese.
"If a child said to a classmate you're fat or obese you'd be reprimanded for bullying and now we're going to let the grownups do it," Tracy Watson said. "It struck me as wrong."
Parents and some law makers want the DPH to stay out of it. There's a bill that could get an up or down vote this spring that would prevent the agency from mandating these letters and would keep them from collecting data on a student's BMI.
"I think there are problems with childhood obesity but I think that's something you handle with your family and your physician," said Cameron's dad, Matt Watson. "I don't think it should be the state telling the schools to test the children."

Since I am about to quit using orgmode for my PHD I am wondering whether something like a synopsis package exists (google didn't give me an answer about that).
What I need: I have a short synopsis of every chapter, section subsection... for myself to structure the dosument. Normally I do not want to export these. From time to time I'd like to read my document in it's full structure with only the synopses in it.
How it could be achieved (I am not into creating styles and doing wierd things in latex): - write the synopsis as comments and only process headings and comments during - have some special environment synopsis and porcess only outline and synopsis environment.
Any packages out there? Ideas of yours?

FAUNMAP- An Electronic Database Documenting Late Quaternary Distributions of Mammal SpeciesEntry ID: Faunmap
Abstract: FAUNMAP is an electronic database documenting the late Quaternary
distribution of mammal species in the United States. It has been
developed at the Illinois State Museum (ISM) with support from the
National Science Foundation (BSR-9005144). This project is co-directed
by Drs. Russell W. Graham formally of ISM and now at the Denver Museum
of Natural History, and Ernest L. Lundelius, Jr. from the ... University
of Texas at Austin. The primary purpose of this database is to
investigate the evolution of mammalian communities. Specifically, with
statistical techniques and mapping capabilities of a Geographic
Information System (GIS), changes in the distributions of individual
species and their effects upon mammal community composition can be
documented for the late Quaternary. Understanding these processes will
also facilitate paleoenvironmental reconstructions.
For the past four years, data have been captured from paleontological
and archaeological sites that contain mammalian remains. There are
currently encoded data from 2919 sites. FAUNMAP focuses on sites in
the contiguous 48 states during the last 40,000 years, i.e., 40 ka, or
essentially the limits of radiocarbon dating.
Data were derived from the scientific literature, including selected
theses and contract reports. Information on site names and numbers,
location, relative and absolute chronologies, including cultural
associations, depositional systems, taphonomic attributes, and mammal
species from each site was recorded. The structure of the database
allows for differentiation of the smallest component of a site, e.g.,
microstratigraphy, cultural component, etc., as defined by the
original author. This information is then linked with an electronic
bibliography documenting data sources.
Faunmap is available online from:
Faunmap is also available as part of the CHRONOS system:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK- Have you ever been scammed?
Aundrea Butler: "I received several emails at one point contacting me, saying someone's roots had been searched back years, and I was supposed to be getting money for an inheritance in another country. There was no way. I knew I wasn't related to anyone in another country. I kept on getting them, but just deleted them– didn't even respond."
Sandy Cohen: "Never."
Patrick Gibson: "Not lured in, but on Craigslist, people do try to do it all the time. They'll try and say, 'I'll send someone over to pick up your item that's for sale and then I'll wire you the money later.' Of course not; it's pretty stupid."

Listen to the Alex Jones Show online any time of day or on shortwave radio. Don't waste your time being propagandized by Amy Goodman and NPR. Get the real scoop on the government while you still can.
NPR is a scam. So is democracy now with Amy Goodman, Glenn Beck's show, Rush Limbaugh's show, and Barack Obama's presidency. One thing that isn't a scam is the Alex Jones Show, which you can listen to any time of day online. Also on shortwave radio from 12-4pm EST and 10pm-2am weekdays.

In addition to the shop on the ground floor we also make exhibitons in our gallery spaces.
The 'sala Pequeña' ( the small space) of ArteArtesanía is a tiny space in the ground floor, where we do since more than six years now, monográfic shows of local and internacional artist and craftsmen.
Mainly we try to show contemporary jewelry.
Successive presentations of the project "Sensational Jewels", experimental jewelry-pieces of a group of jewelers of Barcelona, coordinated by Silvia Walz, in the last four years, has established the space as one of the leaders of samples in Contemporary Jewelry certainly within the island and probably also state level.
Timetable shop and gallery summer season (may to october):
Monday-Friday 10.30 - 20.00
Saturday 10.30-15.00
Timetable shop and gallery winter season :
Monday-Friday 11 - 19.30
Saturday 10.30-14.30
