A new survey of Mecklenburg County found litter at a record low, Keep Mecklenburg Beautiful reported Tuesday.
The county's Litter Index, based on a survey last week of 50 points throughout the county, was 1.22. That broke last year's record index of 1.35.
The index has been falling steadily since the surveys began in 2004, said Jake Wilson, executive director of Keep Mecklenburg Beautiful.
Wilson attributes the falling scores to less debris blowing from construction-company trucks during the economic downturn, and to growth of the state's Adopt-A-Highway volunteer trash pickup program.

Apple says Maiden data center to be all green
The 500,000-square-foot center will draw about 20 megawatts of power at full capacity, the company says in a post on its website, and produce 60 percent of it onsite. Apple says it will directly buy the other 40 percent from local and regional renewable-energy sources.
Greenpeace has pressured Apple for months over use of coal by Duke Energy, which serves the area, and more recently the use of diesel-powered backup generators.
The N.C. Utilities Commission on Thursday granted a permit for a 20-megawatt solar farm in Maiden. Apple now says it will build a second farm a few miles away.
Apple is also seeking state approval of a 4.8-megawatt fuel cell installation in Maiden that it says will be the nation's largest non-utility project. That project is still before the N.C. commission.
Together, Apple says, the projects will produce 124 million kilowatt-hours of energy, enough to supply 10,874 homes. The actual output will be registered with North Carolina's Renewable Energy Tracking System set up by the utilities commission.
The LEED Platinum-certified Maiden data center, it says, features an array of energy-saving technologies.
Apple says it runs its facilities in Austin, Sacramento, Cork, Ireland and Munich wholly on renewable energy. Its Cupertino, Calif., headquarters now gets more than half its energy from renewable sources including fuel cells.

Duke seeks rate break for struggling businesses
Duke Energy has asked for state approval to offer its largest industrial and commercial customers in North Carolina a one-year, 6 percent rate reduction at a shareholder expense of about $13 million.
Duke's Carolinas industrial sales have dropped 20 percent since 2002 while other customer classes grew. The N.C. Utilities Commission approved a 7 percent rate hike in January.
The proposal now before the commission would help manufacturers survive the economic slump, Duke wrote in its filing. It would also help stabilize an industrial customer base that brings in 40 percent of Duke's N.C. retail revenue.
"The company believes that efforts like this pilot can help retain the industrial base in North Carolina so that the state can experience economic success," Duke wrote. "The company believes that retaining its industrial base is not only good for the state of North Carolina's economy, but that it helps keep rates competitive by keeping larger customers on the system to help pay for fixed costs that would otherwise be spread to other customers."
Duke would offer the rate reductions on a first-come basis to customers with annual demand of 75 kilowatts or more on schedules LGS, I, OPT-G, OPT-I, OPT-E or HP. The program would be capped at a total of 700,000 kilowatts.
Examples of eligible customers are those that are in financial distress, have lower-cost energy options, are considering a relocation or will commit to retain current job levels or energy use.
In a settlement leading to the January rate hike, Duke agreed to donate $11 million of shareholder money to community nonprofit groups to help low-income residents with their energy costs. N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper has appealed the rate hike.
Spokesman Jason Walls said Duke is "evaluating possible options to support our customers in the economic recovery" in South Carolina.

Battery could give boost to clean energy
For all the clamor over solar and wind energy, making best use of its on-and-off nature is a problem yet to be solved. No one's come up with a viable way of storing the energy on a large scale.
Potential investors and energy engineers at an uptown Charlotte lunch meeting the other day heard about a potential solution: vanadium. The metal is used in high-strength steel and lightweight aircraft frames. It's also the focus of growing interest in 25-year-old technology called vanadium flow batteries.
The main appeal of these batteries is that they can easily be scaled, from small applications for a single household or ones large enough to serve whole grids.
American Vanadium Corp., one of two Canadian companies presenting (the other, Crosshair Energy Corp., mines uranium for nuclear fuel) at the Charlotte lunch, is developing what it says is the only vanadium mine in the United States.
The United States imports virtually all its vanadium from China and Russia. American Vanadium says its Nevada site will produce high-purity vanadium at low cost.
"Energy storage is the holy grail for renewables," said CEO Bill Radvak. "We'd like to be the company that creates battery storage." The company is seeking partners in the solar, wind and grid-scale battery manufacturing industries.
The Energy Department has invested millions of dollars in vanadium storage technology, including a demonstration project at a municipal coal-fired power plant in Painesville, Ohio. The world's largest vanadium flow battery will soon begin serving an onion-processing plant in California, storing energy when electric rates are lowest for use during peak demand times.
"Once permitting is in place, financing remains the main hurdle and an off-take agreement with a battery
manufacturer ... would do a lot to rebrand American Vanadium as cutting edge in alternative energy," said a research report Wednesday from natural resources research firm Hallgarten & Co.

Duke merger filing reflects "changed circumstances"
The $650 million in fuel and operation savings that Duke Energy and Progress Energy have guaranteed to Carolinas retail customers might take longer than five years to achieve, the utilities say in a new settlement agreement with N.C. consumer advocates filed late Tuesday.
The agreement with the Public Staff, which represents utility customers, cements some consumer aspects of the $26 billion merger but allows Duke and Progress wiggle room on others. The N.C. Utilities Commission would have to approve the settlement after the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rules on the merger, likely by early June.
Among the changes to September's settlement: An 18-month extension of the five-year cost-saving guarantee, based on whether the falling price of natural gas means that three Duke plants burn less coal than previously expected.
But the companies agree to swallow rate reductions and cost increases related to their efforts to assuage FERC's concerns about decreased market competition from the merger. Analysts at Bernstein Research peg those costs at about $875 million, or 27 cents per post-merger shares. Duke projects the total will be far smaller.
"We see the settlement therefore as a further evidence of Duke's commitment to consummate the merger," Bernstein senior analyst Hugh Wynne wrote Wednesday. "It is also evidence, however, of the merger's high cost, and the incentive that Duke will face, if the merger does not close by (the termination date of) July 8, not to renew the commitment."
Duke CEO Jim Rogers last week predicted the merger is "more likely than not" to be approved, but added that Duke will remain financially strong if it does not.
In Tuesday's agreement, the utilities say they won't try to recover from N.C. customers $220 million to $230 million in severance cost or the $40 million to $50 million in estimated losses from short-term power sales over three years. They also agree to reduce Carolinas retail rates by about $70 million over that period. The utilities won't try to recover $110 million in costs for transmission upgrades for five years after the merger.

GRAMMY Winner Elliott Carter Dies
GRAMMY-winning composer Elliott Carter died Nov. 5 of natural causes. He was 103. Considered one of the most significant post-World War II American composers, Carter attended Harvard University where he earned a B.A. in English and an M.A. in music. He is widely known for developing his notion of "metric modulation," a composition style in which one tempo leads gradually to another through changing note values. Throughout his career he created a number of quartets, symphonic works, concertos, and chamber and solo pieces. Carter earned five GRAMMY nominations, including a win in 1993 for Best Contemporary Composition for Carter: Violin Concerto. His last GRAMMY nomination came in 2006 for Best Classical Contemporary Composition for Boston Concerto. In 1998 at age 90 he created his first opera, What Next? In 2009 he was honored with a Recording Academy Trustees Award. Additional honors Carter has received include two Pulitzer Prizes, the Sibelius Medal and the National Medal of the Arts.

I can't begin to thank you enough for exposing me to Alex North's original score for 2001: A Space Odyssey! It is crystal clear from the very first few bars why Kubrick was so keen on the temporary public domain tracks. Knowing now what we could have been forced to endure really gives me that much more appreciation for those truly timeless classics from the past greats. North's work will always be a product of the 50's and early 60's: strident and cacaphonic, which was a perfect reflection of the world at that time---all well and good for his previous works, but completely wrong for the groundbreaking vision of the prophesized future of 2001. I think even more people would have hated the film than they did (and do) if it had been portrayed with North's...unique interpretations.
The Fifth Element #79
By age 13, Diehl had joined a jazz youth orchestra; by 16, he was playing solo piano in a hotel lounge; at 17, he toured Europe as part of the Wynton Marsalis Septet; that fall, he started studying at the Juilliard School, with Oxana Yablonskaya. In April 2011, the American Pianists Association awarded him (at age 26) first prize in the Cole Porter Fellowship in Jazz competition. That career-development grant provided the means to produce Diehl's first studio recording, The Bespoke Man's Narrative (CD, Mack Avenue MCD 1066).
This is one very self-assured recording. Diehl is joined by bassist David Wong and drummer Rodney Green on all tracks, and on all but two by vibes player Warren Wolf. Todd Whitelock recorded the album at Avatar Studios, and Mark Wilder mastered it at Battery Studios, both in New York City. Of particular interest is that Diehl plays a Fazioli 228 grand piano. If another studio jazz recording has been made with a Fazioli, I have not heard of it. The piano sound is exceptionala combination of the Fazioli's bell-like clarity, Diehl's cool, every-hair-in-place pianism, and good engineering.
At times, Diehl's playing calls to mind Keith Jarrett's, and his group's sound is reminiscent of Brad Mehldau's trio. Diehl designed the CD as an integral program, with a "Prologue" and "Epilogue." Standout tracks include "Moonlight in Vermont" (sounding rather like an updated Modern Jazz Quartet), and trio settings of the Forlane movement of Ravel's neoclassical Le tombeau de Couperin and the Gershwins' "Bess, You Is My Woman Now"the latter is a knockout, with some very impressive tremolo playing by Diehl.
There are risks in trying to assess an artist on the basis of a single CD, but I think that Diehl is more of a musical intellectual than a dispenser of emotional self-indulgence or of empty keyboard pyrotechnics. I think he is not so much detached as disciplined, and lacking in the eagerness to please the greatest possible number of listenersnot bad things, if you aspire to be a serious artist. Highly recommended.
"I need another ASZ like I need . . ."
Poor Alex North accepted MGM's commission to write the film score for Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and dutifully went to work. Kubrick did not stay in touch. North learned that Kubrick had ultimately rejected his work only when he attended the film's New York studio screening (on April 1, no less). As the movie unrolled, North realized that Kubrick had never replaced with the studio recording of North's score the potpourri of classical-music "guide tracks" Kubrick himself had selectedworks by Khachaturian, Ligeti, Penderecki, Johann Strauss IIand Sunrise, from Richard Strauss's Also sprach Zarathustra.
North's powerful score can be streamed free here. The three-channel, magnetic-film master tapes of the original scoring sessions were apparently erased ca 1980, so the above performances are by way of North's rediscovered reference copy, a mono mixdown. A vinyl release is in the works (footnote 1).
Think for a moment how different popular culture would be today had "the suits" forced Kubrick's hand on the grounds that North's score was already paid for, and that, after North's success with Spartacus, it would be folly to pass up an additional reason for people to want to see the new Cinerama film. Elvis Presley, late in his career, famously used the Sunrise fanfare to accompany his entrance onstage. Countless marching bands have had it in their repertory for decades. Eumir Deodato is doubtless still receiving royalty checks for his jazz-funk version. Had Kubrick not ditched North's score for 2001, none of that would have happened. More to the point, over the past 44 years, approximately 314,159 hi-fi salesmen would have had to find a different favorite classical-music demo track. Anyone who can't "name that tune" in three notes has probably been living in a caveas Nietzsche's Zarathustra did.
Our inundation by that three-note motif, by parodies or misdirected earnestness, is why I usually say, "I need another Also sprach Zarathustra like I need . . ."
By the way, according to John Culshaw's autobiography, although English Decca licensed out the performance used in Kubrick's soundtrack, they were unwilling to have their flagship conductor Herbert von Karajan publicly associated with a weird, iffy sci-fi movie. That led to the curious circumstance that 2001's end credits listed no orchestra or conductor for the main-title music. The official soundtrack LP was released with Karl Böhm's recording of Sunrise with the Berlin Philharmonic substituting sub rosa for von Karajan's 1959 effort with the Vienna Philharmonic.
I think that, in at least one way, it's unfortunate that Karajan's Vienna Philharmonic recording has become a, if not the, de facto reference. That's because the Vienna Philharmonic recorded in a hall that lacked a pipe organ. Therefore, the organ part was recorded in a nearby church and later dubbed inless than successfully, I've always thought. Indeed, most ASZ recordings I've heard have come up short in the pipe-organ department. (I feel the same way about most recordings of Brahms's Ein deutsches Requiem.)
Into that void steps Djong Victorin Yu, a young conductor from South Korea, leading the Philharmonia Orchestra in a recording of Zarathustra made in John Atkinson's old stomping (or at least treading) grounds of the Fairfield Halls, in Croydon, England, paired with Strauss's Don Quixote, with cellist James Kreger (CD, Guild GMCD 7204). The 1789-seat Concert Hall features a Harrison and Harrison organ of 1964 with three manuals and 41 ranks of pipes.
In terms of the organ's making a worthwhile contribution to the overall blend of sound, this is the most satisfying recording I have heard yet. Yu was a student of Vakhtang Jordania's, himself a protégé of Yevgeny Mravinsky's. Yu is firmly in the Russian Romantic tradition, as attested by the luscious string sounds he summons in the second section, Of Those in the World Beyond. This CD is one more (rare) refutation of Holt's Law: great sound and great performances. Highly recommended.
There is a very readable book by a BBC journalist who decided to find out what this Zarathustra chap was all about: Paul Kriwaczek's In Search of Zarathustra: The First Prophet and the Ideas that Changed the World (Knopf, 2003, footnote 2). Also highly recommended.

In his August 2008 Follow-Up to Jon Iverson's and Kalman Rubinson's coverage of Sooloos's Source:One (which was the component in the Sooloos system of the time that output an analog audio signal), John Atkinson wrote: "Looking at the [inside of the] Source:One, at the front center you have the network interface card; on the left you have a switching power supply; at the rear center is an industrial PC with its familiar but unused I/O jacks at the front and its vertically mounted RAM board at the back; and at the right is the RME Hammerfall soundcard plugged into the PC's PCI slot. . . . The significance of this photo is that what ostensibly is an audio component is actually a PC dedicated to one specific function. I think this is increasingly what we will see in high-end audio components."
The JA of 2008 was prescient. For the high-performance audio market, it makes a lot of sense to process digital audio data via sophisticated software running on a dedicated personal computer.

One important clarification. Not all classical music is public domain!
Somehow, my reference to Kubrick's personal selection of "classical pieces" for the guide track got translated into "public-domain" pieces, which is not the case for all the pieces used in the soundtrack.
I am very sure that the Ligeti and Penderecki pieces were in rights, and so the producer would have had to negotiate a "synchronization" license to use them in the film.
I want to make this clear because someone might jump to the conclusion that Kubrick was just being cheap by using old music that was never subject to copyright. While the R. Strauss and J. Strauss pieces were not in rights, the Ligeti and Penderecki pieces were, and the Khachaturian might have been, depending on the complicated history of copyright conventions between Soviet Russia and the West.
I also assume that the studio would not want to take the internal/industry public relations black eye that would have been sure to come if they had stiffed Alex North on his fee, so, Kubrick most likely made them pay for two soundtracks, or at least one and a half.
I am also sure that Ligeti and Penderecki could have been knocked over with feathers when they got their first checks reflecting royalties due to the soundtrack LP sales!

Q: I try to keep my pond clean, but is there anything else I should do to prevent my fish from getting sick?
April – Colorado Springs, CO
A: Prevention really is the best medicine—and that's true for humans as well as fish. Keeping your pond clean, filtered and well aerated is a great start at preventing disease, but there's more you can do to ensure your finned friends stay happy and healthy. Here's what we prescribe:
- Vacuum Debris: Decomposing organic matter gathered at the bottom of your pond can be home to all sorts of parasites, fungus and bacteria. It'll affect water quality and fish health, so use a ClearVac™ pond vacuum as needed to suck up all that sludge, debris and algae.
- Add Natural Bacteria: In addition to vacuuming up debris, use the all-natural beneficial bacteria found in the DefensePAC® to help clear the water column, and break down and remove muck and organic waste.
- Don't Stress: When you do water changes in your pond, be sure to add some Stress Reducer Plus to the pond to keep your fish stress-free. The water conditioner detoxifies heavy metals, chlorine and chloramines, and it promotes a healthy slime coat—which will keep your fish's immune system functioning swimmingly.
- Toss Them Some Salt: Pond salt, at low concentrations, will help soothe your fish, build their slime coats and improve their gill function.
- Add Aeration: Fish need fresh oxygen just like humans, and the best way to do that is with an aeration kit. It pumps O2 into the water and keeps the water moving—two things that ensure a healthy environment for your fish.
- Quarantine Newbies: Before you add new fish to your pond, keep them in a quarantine tank for two to four weeks to be sure they have no infectious (or contagious!) diseases.
- Knock It Out: Fish fungus, parasites and ick can be treated with KnockOut™ PLUS as a 7 day treatment or as a preventative measure.
If your fish are showing signs of illness, chances are good that it's due to stress or water quality. Unless you see visible signs of a disease, test your water quality with a test kit and then do a partial water change (25 percent or so) to help relieve your fish's stress.
After you've identified any disease and begun treatment, take some time to reevaluate your pond routine. Did something change that caused (or led to) the illness? Sick fish are no fun. Do what you can to keep them healthy—but know what to do when they're under the weather.

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
A conservative super PAC, American Action Network (AAN), launches a $19 million advertizing blitz against Democrats in 22 House districts. AAN was founded by former US Senator Norm Coleman (R-MN) and former Nixon administration official Fred Malek. AAN has already pumped $5 million into races featuring Republican Senate candidates. Founded in February, the group was formed, according to Malek, to "counter what the labor unions are doing on the Democratic side." The group is split into two parts: the Action Forum, a 501(c)(3), which allows donations to be tax-deductible but limits political activities, and the Action Network, a 501 (c)(4), in which contributions are not deductible or disclosed but the group can advocate for political causes. AAN president Rob Collins says: "This Democrat-controlled Congress has already voted for higher taxes and promises next month to raise taxes on America's families and businesses. This is simply unacceptable and something we wanted to call attention to." AAN is part of a larger network of conservative super PACs (see March 26, 2010), including American Crossroads, that plans to spend as much as $50 million on Congressional races. AAN shares office space with American Crossroads. [Politico, 10/13/2010; New York Times, 10/17/2010; CT Mirror, 10/17/2010] Objectionable Ads - The AAN ads airing in Connecticut draw fire after accusing Democrats Christopher Murray (D-CT) and Jim Himes (D-CT) of voting to provide free health care to illegal immigrants and Viagra to sex offenders. Murray accuses AAN of being linked to a number of Republicans in the Bush administration, and asks who is providing the money for the ads. Campaign finance law allows the donors to organizations such as AAN to remain anonymous. "This is one of the biggest TV buys this district has ever seen," Murphy says. "And what we deserve to know is who is standing behind it. I want to know. I think that's what the voters want as well.… These ads on TV right now, fronted by a shadowy, anonymous group of billionaire donors and multi-national corporations are a clear sign of what the difference is in this election." An AAN spokesman refuses to discuss the finances behind the organization, saying only: "What we do is we comply with the letter of the law. That's all we have to offer about that." Murray calls the ad's allegations "laughable." Both claims have been debunked by independent fact-checking organizations, though Murray's opponent Sam Caligiuri (R-CT) says the ad's content is "verifiable," and says even if the ad is questionable, Murray has told lies of his own about Caligiuri. AAN Co-Founder Involved in Criminal Activities as Nixon Administration Official - CT Mirror notes that Malek, a Wall Street millionaire and the co-founder of AAN, was not only a member of the Nixon administration (whose crimes and excesses concerning the Watergate scandal led to a round of campaign finance reforms—see 1974 and May 11, 1976), but was also involved in a recent investment scandal. The New York Times goes further in its examination of Malek, noting that he was heavily involved in the 1972 "Townhouse operation" that raised illegal corporate cash in so-called "slush funds" and distributed the monies in key Senate races (see December 1, 1969, Early 1970, March 23, 1971, and August 18, 1974). Malek, the White House personnel chief in 1972, helped dispense illegal patronage deals to Nixon donors and served as deputy director of CREEP (the Committee to Re-Elect the President), an organization heavily involved in criminal activities. And the liberal news Web site Think Progress notes that Malek was the Nixon administration's unofficial "Jew counter" (see July 3, 1971 and September 1971) and was part of the administration's illegal persecution of Jews who worked in the federal government. During the Watergate investigation, Malek admitted that some of CREEP's activities might have "bordered on the unethical." Malek worked with American Crossroads co-founder Karl Rove during the Nixon administration, when Rove worked to re-elect Nixon as the executive director of the College Republican National Committee. Malek is a member of the Weaver Terrace Group, an informal amalgamation of Republican strategists from "independent" groups who regularly meet, trade political intelligence, and make joint fund-raising trips. The group is named after the street where Rove used to live. Former Watergate prosecutor Roger Witten says: "It creates all the appearances of dirty dealings and undue influence because our candidates are awash in funds the public is ignorant about. This is the problem that was supposedly addressed after Watergate." [New York Times, 10/17/2010; Think Progress, 10/18/2010]

Boudicca probably more so now but for centuries she was thought of as a Barbarian queen and Napoleon may be thought of as a great general but he is also painted as evil despite the fact that many of the ideals his Empire were founding on (meritocracy for example) are now considered mainstream.
I guess Boudicca did gain more respect when she was seen as an influence for Elizabeth I. Napolean is still highly praised though, it'd hard to see past his incredible ability.
Basically, what I was trying to say, but didn't do it so well, is with modern historians, favourable texts seem to be discredited and thus it ends up being that the loser is portrayed fairly well. An example could also be the battle of the Spurs (1513/1514); Henry VIII captured 2 French towns and has the prestige of Holy Roman Emperor, Maximillian, fighting under his banner, but recently it's been depicted as rather just a skirmish with no large gain - which is fair.

Title text: 'ARE YOU TURNED ON YET?' 'I DON'T THINK SO--ARE YOU?' 'MAYBE A LITTLE!' 'OK, FIVE MORE MINUTES.'
Megan and Cueball find out that "this guy's mansion" has a rotating bed in the flashback in the last frame. So, they decide to build one and it appears to be going far too fast as both are holding on for dear life on each side of the bed.
The rotating bed is supposed to be a sexy device, but it appears from the comic that Cueball and Megan have made it rotate a little too fast to be appealing. However, the image text maybe makes us think otherwise.
- [Cueball clinging onto something while being dragged away by some unknown force.]
- Cueball: AAAAAAAAAA
- [Megan similarly clinging on.]
- Megan: AAAAAAAAAA
- [Overhead shot of both spinning around a plain white circle in a room with other accoutrements.]
- Both: AAAAAAAA
- Earlier that day...
- Cueball: Haha, check it out - This guy's mansion has an actual rotating bed.
- Megan: You know, I bet it wouldn't be too hard to build one of those...
add a comment! ⋅ add a topic (use sparingly)! ⋅ refresh comments!
The usefulness of rotation in romance has been mentioned before in 162: Angular Momentum. Perhaps the problem is that they are spinning the bed clockwise instead of counter-clockwise? Erenan (talk) 19:18, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
I think the difference lies in the commonly understood meaning of rotation as opposed to say spinning. Rotating can mean slow or fast, but spinning is usually faster. Is there a word that implies a gentleness to the rotation. They probably want a pivoting or turning bed. DruidDriver (talk) 01:00, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
Maybe Megan and Cueball would have been more turned on if they instead made a Turing bed.18.104.22.168 21:24, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
The explanation needs to be fixed. The phrase "The rotating bed is supposed to be a sexy device" implies that the device itself is sexy. 18.104.22.168 20:57, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

- @Benjaminikuta that was my question too - the reason I looked up this Exain in the first place. I still have no clue. A google search produced only porn sites.
Before reading the explanation, I always thought that this was something about frictionless environments. Leafy Greens (talk) 00:47, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

TORONTO — Weather and reduced staffing of air traffic controllers at Toronto Pearson International Airport is causing delays and dozens of flight cancellations.
NAV Canada, which owns and operates Canada's civil air navigation service, says weather has affected flights to Montreal and Newark, N.J., from Toronto.
In an email Saturday, spokesman Jonathan Bagg says flights scheduled to land in Toronto are also affected by weather and reduced staffing levels at Pearson's control tower.
He says a ground delay program has been implemented, which is a traffic management procedure where flights are delayed at their departure airport to manage demand and capacity at their arrival airport.
NAV Canada did not explain the reason for the reduced staffing levels, but says it is working to get aircraft "on their way as quickly as possible."
About 80 flights scheduled to arrive at Pearson had been cancelled as of Saturday evening.
In a tweet Saturday afternoon, the airport was warning passengers that lightning could affect their flight schedules.

Open research problems
Efficiency of lazy functional languages
This is a problem that came up during IRC discussions. We consider a purely functional language L. By "purely functional" we mean a language that has value semantics; that is, there is no function such that after evaluation of the function the value that was referred to by something else changed. (Also known as "No Side Effects"). A value is "changed" when it is not the case during an evaluation that when the old value and the new value would both be fully evaluated, there wouldn't be the same result. This should make sure that laziness is allowed in the purely functional language.
The general problem is whether these purely functional languages can implement all algorithms that can be implemented in a language like C as efficiently in an amortized sense ignoring space-usage.
Specific problems
As for a specific problem:
Data.STRef and
Control.Monad.ST.runST without using the built-in
IO monad. This needs to happen with operations that all run in O(1) amortized time.

And as we continue to wonder whether we should have a 'ridiculous survey of the day' category, we receive yet more grist for the mill with Ciao's suggestion that two-thirds of us Brits believe social networking should be banned from the workplace.
A survey of a whole 1,000 people – many of whom we can only assume were managers – told Ciao that they believe social networking sites have no place in the workplace.
Nearly 80 per cent of over 55s take the hard-line 'no Facebook' approach, but nearly half of 18 to 24-year-olds also apparently want to avoid social networking whilst in the workplace.
We wouldn't do a thing like that sir.
However, the survey also suggests that 10 per cent of those surveyed actually used the sites at work. Right.
The survey was a "nationally representative online survey of 1,000 people in the UK conducted by Ciao Surveys during March 2008".
We've conducted our own survey here in the room and we can exclusively reveal that 100 per cent of people use social networking sites in the office and 0 per cent think it should be banned.

Feauting T.C. Cope and special guests Drew Thomas and John Henton
T.C. Cope:
Since dedicating his heart to being a comedian, T.C. has touched people everywhere with the message, "Laughing is Living" as a technique for survivial.
As a child, when family gatherings became a time to act silly and onerous, T.C. figured, "I can live with that." When young and old friends came over to hear local imitations, T.C. figured, "Laughing is Living" and everybody can live with that'.
Believing that "old" compliments "new" and being "bad" is in no way "good", T.C. crosses lines to teach "right" with laughing as a cure.
Since performing comedy, T.C. has worked with comedians such as Bernie Mac, D.L. Hughley, Ted Carpenter, Chris Thomas, George Wallace, Joe Torre, Edwonda White, Hamburger Jones, Reggie Ballard (Bro-Man), Adele Givens and a host of others.
T.C. has also touched his community with a local television show "The Comedy Thang," which aired two pilot shows. The show was sponsored by an organization called "Grifcot Productions". He has also found it very important to stay in contact with a number of guide-right programs and charitable organizations. He believes "Laughing is Living" , but also "listening is learning".
Born on the outskirts of New York City but brought up in the middle of Tennessee, T.C. has left many audiences teary-eyed with his southern punch yet sharp city-type humor. His slender body and laugh line smile have given him a talent for making people laugh and leaving audiences begging for more.
With many years pictured ahead, T.C. expresses the thought of "Laughing is Living" in every God given breath.
Also preformed with: Ajai Sanders, Mike Bonner, Spike Davis, Dante Carter, Darnell Rollins, Reggie McFadden, Chris Sherman, Lance Crouther, Doo Doo Brown, Sherman Golden, Todd Lynn, Nick Lewis, Mike Armstrong, Prescott Gilliam, Jeff Shaw, Courtney G, J.B.

A video has leaked online appearing to show Android's 4.1 Jelly Bean update running on a Samsung Galaxy S2.
The firmware looks to be a beta version of a 4.1.2 ROM, the same software that's currently rolling out to Samsung's flagship Galaxy S3 device. The leak comes courtesy of XDA Developers member izap.
In the video demonstration, a mystery person flicks through screens on a Samsung Galaxy S2, showing off distinctly Jelly Bean-like features. The device may also be running a little smoother than usual (Project Butter?), although it's almost impossible to tell, especially without a direct comparison.
Leaky beans
The accompanying screenshot seemingly confirms 4.1.2 firmware running on a GT-I9100 device, although we can't guarantee it's legit at this stage.
That said, we wouldn't be surprised if the Galaxy S2 is included on the list of devices Samsung is bringing the JB update to - especially after a source 'confirmed' it would be getting it.
Although Samsung's 2011 flagship is still a damned good phone, it's definitely beginning to show its age, particularly when put up against its S3 successor and the likes of the Galaxy Note 2 and Google Nexus 4. Now more than ever, S2 owners need something to keep them feeling catered for by Samsung.

Remember Kameryn Gibson, the 18 year old Indianapolis Craigslist escort who infamously hooked up with "sugar daddy" Indiana House Republican Phillip Hinkle? The same anti-gay conservative who "forced the state to offer an 'In God We Trust' license plate" but offered the teen a bonus for a "really good time"?
Gibson has just made his porn debut as "DeJuan Diamond" (very NSFW) for Miami-based Flavaworks. The press release is priceless:
It is no secret that many Republicans are closeted homosexuals, while at the same time preaching anti-gay messages and protesting gay marriage. Now with DeJuan Diamond starring online on sites like CocoDorm.com and ThugBoy.com, Republicans will be able to enjoy the men they love right from the comfort of their home or offices. No more will Republicans have to endure the outrage and embarrassment when they get caught in public, just tune in to Flava Works instead. DeJuan has several videos and photos available for offline viewing, should any closeted Republicans not have internet access while on the road.
The Hinkle scandal came to light in August after emails between Gibson and Hinkle were provided to newspapers. Hinkle reportedly met Gibson in an Indianapolis hotel room after responding to a Craiglist ad looking for a "sugar daddy." The conservative lawmaker "exposed himself to the young man and then later gave him an iPad, BlackBerry cellphone and $100 cash to keep quiet," reports the Indianapolis Star.
"Hinkle is married to a woman and has children. He recently voted in favor of a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and civil unions. According to VoteSmart.org, he also supports a long list of Christianist political goals," adds JoeMyGod. Hinkle's wife reportedly offered the teen cash to keep quiet.
The Republican lawmaker claims that he and the teen "only talked about baseball" and has resisted calls for his resignation.

A man stabbed three people to death at his apartment before plowing through the streets in a black BMW and spraying bullets into Friday night crowds, leaving seven people dead and several more injured in the Southern California seaside town of Isla Vista near UC Santa Barbara, authorities said.
The gunman, identified as 22-year-old Elliot Oliver Robertson Rodger of Isla Vista, was later involved in a shootout with sheriff's deputies and died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown said at a Saturday evening news conference.
- Rampage in Isla Vista: Victims, Photos, Timeline
Three victims, all of whom were UCSB students, were identified as 22-year-old Katherine Breann Cooper of Chino Hills, 19-year-old Veronika Weiss of Westlake Village and 20-year-old Christopher Ross Michaels-Martinez of Los Osos. The names of the three other victims were not released, pending notification of next of kin.
U.S. & World
Thirteen people were hurt, sheriff's officials said. Four were apparently injured by the suspect's car, eight were wounded by gunfire and one suffered a minor injury from an "unknown origin." Of the seven people hospitalized, one was in serious condition, officials said.
An attorney for the suspect's father – "Hunger Games" assistant director Peter Rodger – later confirmed to NBC News that Rodger, a Santa Barbara City College student, was the gunman.
The family has not visited Santa Barbara to identify the remains, the attorney said, adding that the family is cooperating with investigators.
Sheriff's department personnel are investigating a YouTube video in which a man identified as Rodger sits in a car, detailing plans for "retribution" and "revenge against humanity" prior to the shooting.
"I'll take great pleasure in slaughtering all of you. You will finally see that I am in truth the superior one, the true alpha male," the man identified as Rodger says in the video.
Ten crime scene locations were confirmed across Isla Vista, a town known for rowdy parties and a raucous weekend scene. No shots were fired on the university's campus, Brown said.
The killings began when Rodger allegedly stabbed three men to death inside his residence in the 6500 block of Seville Road, where Brown said deputies discovered a "horrific crime scene."
Rodger then went to the Alpha Phi sorority house in the 800 block of Embarcadero Del Norte, where he banged on the door, Brown said. When no one answered, Rodger opened fire outside the home, killing Cooper and Weiss. A third person was wounded.
Minutes later, Rodger pulled up in his black BMW 3 series coupe at a popular deli on Pardall Road. He entered the business and fatally shot Michaels-Martinez.
Surveillance video from inside the deli showed customers running for cover as shots rang out.
- Download: Download the NBCLA app
"I heard somewhere between 12 to 20 shots into a group of people who were eating in front of it," witness Robert Johnson said.
Approximately six minutes after the initial call was received, the driver shot at responding deputies and deputies returned gunfire. The driver fled in his vehicle, encountered another deputy, exchanged gunfire and fled again.
The driver eventually crashed into a parked vehicle. When deputies approached the vehicle, they found the lone occupant dead from an apparent gunshot wound.
- Timeline: Isla Vista Mass Shooting
About 10 minutes passed between the time officials received the first 911 call to the time the suspect was determined to be dead at the scene, Brown said.
Officials believe the gunman acted alone and were not looking for any additional suspects.
Brown said three semi-automatic handguns Rodger had during his shooting rampage were legally obtained and registered to him. They were purchased in Burbank, Oxnard and Goleta.
Investigators said they found more than 400 remaining rounds of ammunition.
Along with the YouTube video, Rodger apparently detailed his plans in a 140-page manifesto where he recounted his life in detail, dwelling on his rejection by women beginning in early adolescence, and laid out his plans to exact revenge on the world in a devastating attack.
"(We are) analyzing both written and video taped evidence that suggest this atrocity was a premeditated mass murder," Brown said.
Residents took to social media to report multiple drive-by shootings and a hit-and-run, and also to post prayers. One woman said she saw a man with a gun and heard shots being fired immediately after seeing him.
Isla Vista residents were urged to stay indoors.
"It's obviously a heartbreaking situation to see this happen," Brown said.
The mass killing comes about 13 years after a former UC Santa Barbara student drove his car through a crowd of people in Isla Vista, killing four. David Attias was convicted on four counts of second-degree murder and sentenced to a state mental hospital.
Anyone who witnessed the crime or has any information is asked to call the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office at 805-681-4171.
NBC4's Jonathan Lloyd, Willian Avila and Jane Yamamoto contributed to this report.

Hotel Amelie Reviews
Myself and a friend stayed for a week at this hotel earlier this year. All I can say is that the staff were wonderful, warm and welcoming. The rooms were clean and tastefully furnished. We stayed half board, and breakfast and evening meals were excellent. The owner of the Hotel arranged a wonderful special 5 course new year meal and band in the bar. A very nice hotel, highly recommended. I would not hesitate to stay at this Hotel again. It is also very close to the ski lifts, shops and the local spa : )

Hotel Amelie is possibly the best bargain in the alps with great, spacious rooms, good facilities and food and access to the world's largest ski area. However, Brides Les Bains is not everyone's cup of tea being a small working French town/village with rudimentary leisure facilities and not a great deal of bon-homie. It does however have a nice gritty French cafe feel to it and its couple of bars are reasonable if a bit quiet. The lift up to Meribel was put in for the Olympics some years ago and takes a ludicrous amount of time to rattle you up the hill to Meribel before you can get on a lift which will get you onto the slopes. I timed it at 25+ minutes each way. This wears very thin by the end of the week and I'd not choose Brides again on this point alone. It also restricts your time on the slopes as the lift opens at the same time as the higher resort lifts so no matter how fast you act - you'll never get first tracks on a powder day. You could do a lot worse though and if you just want a quiet week with access to guaranteed snow cover then I'd thoroughly recommend it. The price is a bargain compared to staying in Meribel and Amelie is a superb little hotel.

NVIDIA Texture Tools for Adobe Photoshop
A collection of texture tools generating normal maps, texture compression, mip map generation and cube map formatting packaged as a plugin for Adobe Photoshop 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, 7.0, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4, CS5 and CS6.
Release Notes
- Added Adobe Photoshop CS6 and 5.1 support.
- Updated installer for silent installs.
- DDS export now supports PSDs with transparent layers, but without alpha channel.
- DDS export now supports manually added alpha channels.
- DXT5 export now supports volume textures.
Bug Fixes
- Bug fix for using DDS plugin in Corel PaintShopPro.
- Bug fix for mipster script that add unnecessary pixel.
- Bug fix for exporting DXT1 that creates alpha channels and DXT1A that does not create alpha channel.
- Bug fix in loading of cubemap with mipmaps.
- Bug fix in loading cubemap when alpha map is black on the 6th face.
- Bug fix in 4x4 alpha encoding.
- Bug fix in production, highest quality selection.
NVIDIA Normal Map filter
The NVIDIA Normal Map filter creates normal maps from grayscale height maps. The filter UI provides a powerful 3D preview and a variety of filtering options. For MIP-mapped normal maps, the NormalMap Filter should be used for preview only, and then the grayscale map exported via the DDS plugin with "Normal Map Settings..." enabled. This will create a normal map with maximal detail and fidelity for all texture levels, without undesirable filter aliasing.
NVIDIA DDS plug-in
The NVIDIA DDS plug-in supports the DXTC texture compression format and allows you to open and save .dds files in RGB format. It reads and writes .dds files in compressed or uncompressed forms, provides support for per-MIP color fading, MIP-corrected normal mapping, and more.
Mipster is a mip-map generation script, for Photoshop CS2 and above, that leverages the power of Photoshop's internal image filtering engine along with the (optional) NVIDIA DDS Plug-in and Normal Map Filter (for Windows). While Mipster will function without either of these NVIDIA plug-ins (e.g., on OSX), it works best in tandem with them. Running Mipster on any image will create a collection of mip-map layers in your current Photoshop document -- one layer per MIP.
Cube Map Shuffler
This script rearranges cube-map-face elements for use with different export and editing tools. It can quickly convert and copy between different cubemap layout formats, a task that has previously been annoyingly slow and error-prone. If you are used to editing cube map faces, you'll find this script makes format changes a lot easier.

Here at Beyond Distance we're currently working hard on our Learning Futures Festival Online and if you haven't already registered please pop along to our website and sign up: http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/beyond-distance-research-alliance/festival/registration.
All this talk about learning futures got me thinking about my learning past. Picking up on Terese's earlier post about 'Digital Native, Digital Assumptions?' it seems I fall into the digital native/Net-gen age group. As I worry I'm getting old this seems very flattering! As a Digital Native or Net-gen I experienced in my learning past a single computer in my classroom from my very first lesson at infant school. By the time I left university virtually everyone had a mobile phone, easy access to the internet and their own computer.
All this does mean that I feel very at ease with new technology be it a new mobile phone or a new web application. I might not necessarily be an expert straight away but going ahead and trying these things (and sometimes trying to break them just to be awkward) is all part of how I tend to use technology. For my own learning which tends to be learning new and improving existing multimedia skills I find that I can pick and choose what works best for me. For instance I tend to use a text based tutorial to learn about CSS (CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets which is used in web design) rather than a video tutorial. I find it easier to flick between screens, or have a dual screen, rather than have to sit and watch a video and pause it where appropriate.
The learning future for myself and others only seems, at present, to take advantage of further innovation, both in technology and learning. The future, at present, could seem quite overwhelming, fast-paced and challenging. For me personally it seems quite exciting and while I'm looking forward to getting there, I'm also enjoying the present and making the most out of it. They say you shouldn't look back too much as it can stop you living your life. I think it's equally important to not forget where you are now and not constantly look to the future in case you miss the things right under your feet.
I realise that this might sound like a contradiction to a Learning Futures Festival Online but I don't think it is. Without an understanding of where I am now I can't begin to understand my future. I'm hoping you'll all bring your learning present to our Learning Futures Festival Online and help us all discover the learning future.

Filtration System
RhinoTech (www.rhinotechinc.com) announces that its latest filtration system—the M-10F—is its most powerful. According to RhinoTech, the M-10F offers space-saving features to enable it to easily fit underneath a RhinoTech (or most other) washout booth and connect to plumbing systems. The company also notes that, with the use of compatible RhinoClean Green² Screen Cleaning chemicals, filtered liquid becomes even more drain safe. The first M-10F's two filtration chambers fill with liquid from the washout booth. When the liquid reaches the top-inside divider of the M-10F, it transfers to the second chamber that houses an auto discharge pump. As the second chamber fills, the pump activates automatically, pushing the liquid out of the chamber and through two additional canister filters.

When selecting an auto transport company to ship your vehicle overseas, there are many factors to be considered. It is imperative that you ask a lot of questions about document handling and insurance claims. Depending on your destination, you may need special documents and insurance. You may need the lien holder's permission to export a vehicle if there is any type of lien recorded on the title. International shipping usually requires multiple copies of the title of ownership. Some U.S. ports may require a Bill of Sale or a notarized Bill of Sale. When shipping a new vehicle overseas, you must obtain an original Certificate of Origin, and Bill of Sale from the dealership. U.S. Customs may require other personal documents that may or may not be returned.
If you were looking for the most economical way to get your vehicle to another country then going by ship would be your choice. It can take 30 to 60 days, but the cost discount makes it more feasible to the general public. Read more

Posted under activism & endangered species & wildlife (general)
Over the past few days I've been catching up on some New Yorkers that arrived while I was on vacation. One of them has a long article about the illegal slaughter of literally millions of songbirds annually in Mediterranean countries, and the fruitless efforts to fight it. Some places have an entrenched culture of killing birds, mostly for sport – Malta, Cyprus, and Italy are specifically named, but there's no claim that they're the only ones — to the extent that the authorities won't even try to enforce the laws. (In this regard, I'm reminded of dog laws in California parks).
And then last night I read an article about overfishing. The article implies that it's only recently been realized that fish populations everywhere are declining, the catch in almost all established fisheries is declining in spite of more sophisticated fishing gear, and that many former "staple" species, like North Atlantic cod, have been reduced to economic and ecological irrelevance. Actually those facts were recognized by a lot of people years ago — for instance, the book "The Empty Ocean" came out in 2003 — but perhaps the article is right that they're not widely known by the public.
And the San Francisco Board of Supervisors just approved an enormously expensive bridge right through a wetlands that Golden Gate Audubon has been restoring, to save 2 minutes of travel time for a small number of drivers.
And, of course, there's the oil disaster in the Gulf, the failure of any climate bill in the Senate this year…it's been a depressing couple of days of news.

Unique kajeet Applications
October 14, 2009
by Carol Politi
Our customers are finding all sorts of unique uses for the features we brought to the market for kids. The applications range from simple extensions into a new consumer market to businesses that are making use of the administrative capabilities we provide on kajeet.com. kajeet is being used by seniors, by family caregivers, by trucking companies, by window and door companies, and more! I've profiled a few of these applications here.
kajeet has become kajeet for seniors for a number of our customers. The Samsung M300 is especially popular with seniors because it has large numbers on the keypad that are very easy to see. The flip phone functionality allows you to open the phone and answer the call all in one motion – without having to search for the call button. The basic $4.99 plan is easy on the wallet so is perfect for an emergency phone. Because this service fee is pulled directly from a credit card there are no potentially confusing prepaid cards to worry about. The GPS provides location information that can ease the mind of adult caregivers.
kajeet is being used by both children and adults with developmental disabilities as it helps them get out and safely engage more and more with their communities. The M300 is again a good choice here – as it has an easy to use keypad & simple user interface. Caregivers can fund the parent wallet as an emergency wallet and be sure that it will never run out of funds. And the call list can be used to ensure the phone can only be used to call certain numbers if this is desirable. For those new to navigating around their community, the GPS can be used make sure caregivers can find individuals and more easily get them assistance if they become lost.
On the other side of the spectrum, a number of small businesses are using kajeet to stay connected with their employees. kajeet's parent account is being used an administrative account – providing a single interface for an administrator to manage all the cell phones used by their employees. It's even possible to message employees from kajeet.com, allowing administrators to reach out directly to employees from their desktop. The call list allows companies to limit the calls they pay for to a specific list of numbers, and the wallets allow employees to fund their own "wallet" to pay for personal calls. Finally, GPS makes sure companies can check in on employees that might be busy on site and verify they can get to another job in a reasonable time frame. (We designed our tools for parents who are the "administrators" of their households so it should be no surprise that company administrators like the kajeet.com management tools!).
At kajeet, we are still all about kids. However, we love seeing that the unique features we have brought to market for kids are being used in such unique ways. Comment here and let us know how you are using kajeet!

Body Found in Search for Missing 12-Year-Old Girl, Adriaunna Horton
A Missouri man has been charged with kidnapping Adriaunna Horton.
Aug. 21, 2013 -- A body was found today in the search for a kidnapped 12-year-old girl, although authorities in Missouri said a positive identification had not been made.
Adriaunna Horton's father, James Horton, told KMBC-TV that his daughter's body had been found.
A spokesman for the Missouri State Highway Patrol declined to disclose where the body was found, KMBC reported, but confirmed the search effort for Horton has been suspended.
Bobby Bourne Jr., 34, of Lamar, Mo., was charged with kidnapping Tuesday in the disappearance of Horton, who was last seen Monday afternoon getting into a vehicle around 5 p.m. in Golden City, Mo.
James Horton told ABC News affiliate KODE-TV that the suspect was known to his family.
"He worked for me last summer on a job, a construction job. He was a neighbor. He lived less than a block behind us for a year," Horton said.
On Tuesday, searchers used horses, all-terrain vehicles, dogs and a patrol helicopter to scour the small town.
"We are going to exhaust every lead that comes in," said Troop D Public Information Officer Sgt. Jason Pace of the Missouri State Highway Patrol said.
Missing Girl Taken on 1st Day of School
Horton was at the park with her sister and friends celebrating the end of her first day of the new school year when witnesses reported seeing her get into an SUV.
The girl's father said he was told the driver of the SUV was asking children at the park for help.
"He was whining he couldn't find his daughter. He had a missing child. He asked the girls in the park to help him," Horton said. "My oldest daughter walked up to his vehicle. That's when she was abducted."
Police said they stopped a similar vehicle 90 minutes later and arrested Bourne, who was driving alone.
Bourne was being held in the Barton County Jail on a $1 million bond. He had not entered a plea.

Two teenage boys - both aged 17-years - have been killed after a one-vehicle collision on the Cladymilltown Road, between Markethill and Newtownhamilton in Co Armagh.
DUP MLA William Irwin said two young men were killed in the accident.
He said he was told the young men had been making their way to 'a technical college'.
Around 1pm a PSNI spokesman said the teenagers killed were the driver and front seat passenger in a Vauxhall Astra car that left the Cladymilltown Road around 8.30am.
Inspector Lynsey Barr has appealed for anyone who witnessed the collision or who noticed the Vauxhall Astra being driven on the Cladymilltown Road this morning to contact police on 101.
The road remains closed while PSNI Collision Investigation Unit examines the scene of the collision.
Earlier Mr Irwin said the car in which the teenagers were travelling had "hit a tree".
"Three young men were in the car," he added.
"Two have been killed and one has been injured and taken to hospital."
He said he wanted to express his "deep condolences to the families".
"I want to offer them my sincere condolences as this is tragic news for any family.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with them and we hope the other young lad will make a speedy recovery."
A spokesman from the Northern Ireland Ambulance service said they received a call around 8.30am.
He said there were three individuals in the car and one was taken to hospital.

Dr. Rorshach began her career in ADDANAC CITY serving as a school psychologist at Addanac City Elementary. After far too much exposure to the school's worst-behaved student, Hank Addanac, Dr. Rorshach switched gears and turned her academic and professional aspirations towards psychiatry. She now works in association with Addanac City Regional Hospital where she constantly butts heads with fellow physician, Dr. Proctor, who seems to delegate her as mere eye-candy and decoration for his needs. She's no dummy, however.
