The passing of Bob Clark of Hamilton didn't get much mention, if any, for which I deserve some of the blame. It's been busy for me, personally and professionally, but I hope, with this column that he will forgive me from the next world.
You see, Bob was one of the first ones to let me see behind the curtain of professional wrestling.
In the later 1980s and early 1990s, he was a promoter in Hamilton, Ontario, running small shows here and there, using local talent like Big Mac and Alex Girard (who were co-promoters with him), Silent Brian Mackney, and Farmer Bill.
I was still doing my Canadian Wrestling Report, so I went to a few of the shows and have some photos from the cards. Armed with just a point and shoot, I didn't get much more than photos of the wrestlers going to and from the ring, but they offer a little trip to the past for me.
The thing about those shows was that there would be regular fans, and Norm McEvoy was one. He was a classic (and no doubt still is). Norm wore these huge boots, and was a big steelworker with a mess of hair. His voice could PROJECT, to say the least. When he yelled at the wrestlers in a venue, like the gym at the Kiwanas Boys & Girls Club, they probably heard it down the street.
Bob Clark portrayed a Professor on these cards, and had long ago given up any idea of a wrestling career.
Over the years, I got to know him a little. He was particularly helpful with my first book, The Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: The Canadians, hooking me up with some names that I did not know and suggesting others to research.
Later, when we were talking about the death of Terry Yorkston, who probably had more fame as WWF referee on the Maple Leaf Wrestling shows than he ever achieved as a wrestler, Bob talked a bit about his early days as a fan and breaking into the business.
"The Municipal Pool was every Tuesday night. It held about 600 people," Clark recalled of the unique set-up in Hamilton, with the ring set up over the swimming pool. Tickets would go on sale at 9 a.m., and would be spoken for an hour later. "You could never get a seat at the Municipal Pool. It was always full."
All the top entertainment came through Hamilton, as promoted by Frank Tunney out of Toronto.
"In the summer time, they moved from the Pool over to the park [baseball stadium] across the street," reminisced Clark, launching into a memory of Tiger Tasker, whose career dated back to the 1930s. "Tasker drove in with his brand-new Cadillac, which was a mistake, because he was showing everybody about his car, showing off and everything. The fans got ahold of it, and ripped all the upholstery out of it, and made a heck of a mess out of it. He was crying the blues. But you don't do those type of things, like tell people where your car was."
Like most of Hamilton, it seems, Bob Clark tried professional wrestling.
"I hung around with a bunch of good ol' guys back in them days. I was trained by a good bunch of guys," he said. "I never really, really pursued it. I was always just a canvasback, just a jobber."
But he never forgot those roots, and I could count on him to fill me in on some of the goings-on of lesser lights, like Ted Grizzly, Vincent Bright or Yorkston. He tried to meet with friends for coffee, and when Grizzly was ill, he legally fixed it so that Bob was one of the few allowed to see him. Many of the bonds were formed while refereeing for "The Bearman" Dave McKigney.
He knew some stories too, and when announcer Norm Kimber came up in the discussion, that led to a rant on Jack Tunney, the nephew of Frank Tunney, who took over the Toronto territory. "Jack made a lot of enemies in this area. He may have thought he did a lot of good, but I can never forgive him for what he did to a lot of the guys, especially Norm Kimber. That was the biggest shock of all, just walk in the office and say, 'Hey, you're gone.'"
Bob always seemed to have some health issues, and because of that, never got out to one of my Titans in Toronto events, to reconnect with old friends. A diabetic, his legs were a continuing frustration, and he didn't get around very well.
It was our common friend, Big Mac (Mervyn McKie) who told me about Bob's passing.
Apparently Bob went in for open heart surgery on February 23, 2013, and got through the operation okay, but they couldn't re-start his heart, and so he passed at Hamilton General Hospital. He was survived by his wife, Louise, and kids, Kim, Robbie, Carol, Robert, Pat, Wendy, Peter, Marian and Bobby Roy.
During a 2009 chat, Bob Clark was particularly wistful. "I broke down the other day there, Christmas Eve. I was feeling down and out, remembering the old Sheik, Eddie. He was a great guy. He was a real character. A lot of people say you don't have feelings, but you do. You think about these guys, the old days. So many of the guys are going now."
And now you have gone too, Bob. Rest in peace, my friend. And say hi to your friends for us.

Maxine Atkinson Award Statement
Maxine P. Atkinson, professor and head of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at North Carolina State University, is the recipient of the 2011 ASA Distinguished Contributions to Teaching award. Dr. Atkinson has made significant contributions to the scholarship of teaching and learning, mentoring of graduate students and new faculty, and the broader teaching movement. Her work in the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL); involvement in the ASA Section on Teaching and Learning and ASA Departmental Resources Group (DRG); numerous influential publications; and presentations at local, regional, and national venues provide an overview of her significant contributions to teaching and learning. Her seminal work on SoTL shows the knowledge of a 25 year career devoted to effective teaching.
Dr. Atkinson has won numerous teaching awards and other recognitions for her work. A sample of awards includes the Distinguished Teaching Award, Southern Sociological Society (2004); The Hans O. Mauksch Award for Distinguished Contributions to Undergraduate Sociology, ASA Section on Teaching and Learning (2007); and the Carla B. Howery Award for Developing Teacher-Scholars, ASA Section on Teaching and Learning 2010; among others. Maxine was the first woman at NC State to win the Board of Governors' Award for Excellence in Teaching, 2009, the most prestigious award given for teaching excellence by the North Carolina University system.
By developing materials to enhance the teaching and learning of sociology for both undergraduate and graduate students, mentoring new teachers, and offering local to national workshops for instructors of sociology, Dr. Atkinson has had an impact on instructors across the country. She has published a number of influential papers in Teaching Sociology on integrating data analysis skills into the undergraduate sociology curriculum, on quantitative reasoning, and on what we know about teaching and learning in sociology. She is also in demand as a speaker and departmental reviewer.
Her publications and contributions have often been in collaboration with her own graduate students, thus demonstrating her mentorship skills, collegial manner of work, and her inspiration to others to become involved in SoTL activities. She has focused on scholarly areas that need reflection and research to move ideas to a new level. Her presentation as the recipient of the ASA Section on Teaching and Learning Hans Mauksch teaching award, "The Sociology of the College Classroom," illustrates this point, demonstrating breadth and depth in thinking about and conducting research on the sociology of teaching and learning.
In collaboration with her graduate students, her recent published work continues research into the college classroom. In 2009, Teaching Sociology published two articles: "Introduction: From the Outside Looking In: The Sociology of the College Classroom," with Kristine Macomber and Sarah Rusche; and "Sociology of the College Classroom: Applying Sociological Theory at the Classroom Level," with Alison R. Buck and Andrea N. Hunt. Her list of publications on teaching is a testament to her devotion to scholarly work in SoTL. She has also served on the Teaching Sociology editorial board for six years.
Her involvement in the ASA Section on Teaching and Learning shows the breadth of her contributions to the field. These include editor of the section newsletter, reviewer, committee member, taskforce member, council member and advisory board member for the ASA Departmental Resources Group. She has played key roles in national teaching initiatives such as the NSF/ASA integrating data analysis project and Preparing Future Faculty (PPF) program.
One testimonial to her impact on teaching and learning indicates that "Maxine has been a significant mover and shaker in the teaching movement within sociology. Maxine has made a career of mentoring better teachers of sociology nationwide and advancing the scholarship of teaching and learning." Another states that "Maxine has been…a pivotal figure in promoting the importance of teaching." As president of the Southern Sociological Association she promoted teaching through various channels, including the establishment of a teaching award and her presidential address: "The Scholarship of Teaching: Conceptualizations and Implications for Sociologists." This address contributed new dimensions to the field of SoTL.
Dr. Atkinson has acted as a social change agent, working to promote and improve teaching, learning, and SoTL in our discipline. She has a determined passion for teaching, learning, and SoTL in the discipline and beyond, and has used her positions in the discipline to further excellent in teaching and learning. She has garnered respect and appreciation from professional colleagues at the institutional, state, regional and national levels.
Whether leading workshops on teaching, publishing in top-tiered journals, or mentoring instructors and graduate students across the nation, Maxine embodies the model qualities of a scholar-researcher and practitioner in teaching and learning.

Dancing With The Stars Karina Smirnoff Attends GILT CITY Launch Party In Atlanta
This past week, Karina travelled to Atlanta, Georgia to attend the GILT CITY Launch Party at MODA.

One dress will be for the reception. Karina said, "I want to make sure I can dance in it!" You can view more pictures of Karina at the GILT CITY Launch Party at the Celebrity VIP Lounge.

And the 32GB Surface Pro Will Have Just Enough Storage to Display the Start-Up Screen
Microsoft's new Surface Pro tablets are built with either 128 gigabytes or 64GB of storage. But by the time they're loaded up with Windows 8 and the other applications the company intends to ship with them, they'll have nowhere near that amount.
Out of the box, the 128GB version of Surface Pro offers only 83GB of available storage, and the 64GB model just 23GB. That's a sizable disparity between advertised storage space and actual storage space, and something for those considering dropping upward of $899 on the device to keep in mind.
To be fair, a portion of the 41GB of the unavailable storage with which Surface Pro ships is dedicated to a recovery partition that users can easily free up, but still. The 64 GB iPad has about 57 GB of available storage. My understanding is that the 128 GB will have about 121 GB, though I've not confirmed that.
Microsoft, for its part, stresses that any storage woes Surface Pro owners might encounter are easily solved by external drives and the like.
"Surface Pro has a USB 3.0 port for connectivity with almost limitless storage options, including external hard drives and USB flash drives," the company said in a statement. "Surface also comes pre-loaded with SkyDrive, allowing you to store up to 7 GB of content in the cloud for free. The device also includes a microSDXC card slot that lets you store up to 64 GB of additional content to your device. Customers can also free up additional storage space by creating a backup bootable USB and deleting the recovery partition."

So I've thought of a tutorial idea that sparked yesterday while I replied to a few comments. A few visitors wanted a tutorial on 'how to draw a wolf skeleton', step by step, therefore, I went ahead and created a lesson based on that. I figured I'd use a different painting style on this drawing which seemed pretty fun at the time to render fully. It took around an hour and a half to render completely and the tutorial aspect took a little while to break down as well. Make sure you ready yourself with various references of wolf bones in diverse types of poses to familiarize yourself in the anatomy. It's best to understand the structure of a creature before you tackle it. Anyways, I hope this tutorial will be mega amounts of fun! Thanks so much for viewing and don't forget to let me know how you did!

I am the owner of the community building blog, http://www.communityspark.com. I am currently working on a complete overhaul of the blog's design, and the first thing I need is a new logo.
Community Spark is a blog offering tips and advice for building successful online communities, be they chat sites, online forums, blogs or social networks.
I want the logo to reflect the following attributes:
Fresh, Original, Exciting, Community, Professional
Please pay no attention to the site's current design - that will change to reflect the style of the winning logo design.
As for colours, designs etc - let your imagination run wild. I am looking for originality and some spark! I want something exciting, that reflects the subject of the blog, and I want something professional.
I am not interested in the overused 'Web 2.0' shiny/reflective logo look. Make it original, please!

Along the lines of the earlier Targa top, this open version of the F355 had a hard top that could be stowed away behind the seats. The F355 GTS featured a stress-bearing semi-monocoque steel chassis with variable-section, tubular front and rear sub-frames and electronically controlled suspension. The V8 engine produced a specific power of 109 bhp per litre and, mated to a close-ratio 6-speed gearbox, ensured performance.
The design of every new Ferrari model is, by definition, heavily influenced by the Marque's culture and experience combined with innovations developed as a result of both active experimentation and research. The result is a melding of style and engineering that delivers superb performance across the board. In the case of the Pininfarina-designed F355 GTS, the fusion of familiar elements with more powerfully innovative ones resulted in a truly unprecedented car that guaranteed the same signature Ferrari emotions as ever.Read more
The F355 GTS was a masterful piece of engineering as its 109 hp/litre specific power output attests. The latter value and its impressive torque were achieved by adopting a new five-valve cylinder head. The car's 3496 cc engine punched out 380 hp. Its blistering performance figures were the result of aerodynamic honing that focused specifically on the underbody.
The two-seater targa-topped F355 GTS had an aluminium and steel body. Its styling was moulded around an aerodynamically severe design that included a full-body undertray designed to equalise downforce (Cl) between the two axles. The cabin was designed with both safety and driving pleasure in mind. The seats and trim were Connolly leather. Composite racing seats were also available to order. The chassis was a steel monocoque with a tubular steel rear sub-frame for the engine-suspension assembly. Both front and rear suspension used independent unequal-length wishbones and coil springs over gas-filled telescopic electronic dampers with two settings. The car also has anti-roll bars.
The steering was rack and pinion with power-assist, and optional mechanical gear. The brakes had self-venting discs and excludable ABS ATE. The 18" wheel rims were magnesium.
The mid-rear 3496 cc 90° V8 was longitudinally mounted and punched out 380 hp, giving it a specific power output of 109 hp/l. Distribution was by means of twin overhead cams with five valves per cylinder. The con rods were titanium, while the control unit was the Bosch M5.2. Dry sump lubrication and a six-speed plus reverse mechanical gearbox completed the picture along with a dry single-plate clutch.
Careful selection of the best shots of the F355 GTS in high definition. The photo gallery shows the distinctive features of this model Ferrari in 1994, focusing on the details and the most important parts.

Wish ya the best!
Halfway through with our flights and about 12hrs from Sydney. Onward!
congrats to Al and Kristi
congratulations on the engagement! I don't envy the flights but i do envy the adventure. i'm in!
good for you! congrats. show her the world.
Congrats al, so pumped for you guys! Can't wait to see this thread updated!
Welcome to Oz, Al and Christy. Warm enough for you????
damn, talk about a hollywood ending to the thread...congrats! i am sure that you realize how huge it is to be able to include one love of your life in another...
good luck to you both, hope to cross paths with you someday.
Check it out! "Some Jobs, Some Responsibilities, Still no Better Time"
I go away to a motorcycle rally for a few days and miss an announcement like this? Congratulations to both of you.
i'm looking forward to your new adventures in Aussie and hope you get time to cross the wee ditch to New zealand.
Thanks everyone for the congratulations! It's been a pleasure to introduce Kristi as my fiancee, and especially nice to receive all the positive comments from everyone else. Thanks again!
Anyone might have noticed that the new report is now found under Day Trippin, as it clearly has the feel of a blog
rather than a ride report. This type of report is not permitted in the Ride Report section, as we clearly haven't been riding motorcycles yet. Should the time come when we are traveling around AUS on a motorcycle, maybe it'll move maybe not. Doesn't matter.
Keep an eye out on the other report though as I'll update it as regularly as needed to include all the action! Hell if Kristi and I do well enough, easily enough, I might be able to convince 'ole Tommy boy (Tom Reuter) to get his ass down here as well!
Hey man! You're missin out on everything! Just kidding. Working holiday visas are easy to get for NZ too. We might have to stop by!
CONGRATULATIONS!! Good luck on EVERYTHING, I wish you both all the best!
Read this everyday over the last couple of weeks.
Have enjoyed it immensely!
I found it referenced in Lightcycles report.
There the Canadians from Toronto
who were on the same ship/ boat
going around the Darien Gap.
Really cool. Thanks.
I'll go to the Aussy report next.
Hey man! Thanks for reading the report. I had a great time creating it and writing it at the same time. Can you show me/link me to the reference in Lightcycles report?
The Australian report is more or less a blog. Hidden in the depths of the inmate section of this forum. I'm behind the times on it, and lacking with content. But enjoy it for what it is!
Thanks again for reading!
Hi Big Al,
I'm a big fan or you ride report and your positive outlook in the face of adversity. I enjoyed reading the entire report withmy 13 year old daughter.
As luck would have it, I'm gonna be in Perth on Anzac day with my dad and my wife's uncle. We land in Perth early in the after and will be riding out north the next morning (ending in Darwin on May 17)
If you you happen to be out betting on Two Up I'd love to buy you a pint.
The reference to your report
found in "Quit Our Jobs, Sold Our Home, Gone Riding"
pg 65, entry #966
I guess a link would help,
You know, It is a dream to ride like this. However,
I do what I can. I camped overnight a couple of times.
Look at this.... It'll only take a couple minutes.
Almost heaven, West Virginia.
I was working all day ANZAC day, but did have that afternoon off. It's a pity that I missed this post, but such is life. Have a great time on your way north riding to Darwin! I'll make it there and everywhere else before I leave Australia, but you'll beat me to it.
Thanks for the kind offer!
You have to start somewhere, and a weekend camping trip is just the ticket for many people. Looks like you had a good time!
Best ride report ever!

This park encompasses the southwest portion of the University of Wyoming campus in Laramie, Wyoming. This area (as well as nearby Prexy's Pasture) has been designated a "state park", an open space area for students to enjoy. A Vietnam War memorial is also dedicated here.
On the south side across Ivinson Street is the Old Ivinson Hospital, which also served as the former Information Technology & UW Police headquarters. Upon taking of this panorama, the building is vacant & awaiting future planning.
The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

Walking around NYC yesterday and I happened around what looked like a small movie set. Then I see three guys standing around with three Pentax 67 bodies each on them. Then I look the MoHo and Bruce Weber is sitting there. Martin Sholler is still shooting film. There are still a ton of guys shooting film in the high end circle.I have no idea why punters feel the need to slag on someone advertising what they want to sell.Trolls like this should go somewhere else.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=202232\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

text: I have a lot of symptoms (neurologist originally was thinking MS, but the brain MRI didn't show any lesions). Burning in hands and feet, left side weakness, dropping things, tons of upper back pain. My neurosurgeon pretty much dismissed them and said to have another MRI in 6 months to see if the syrinx enlarges. I attached the MRI. Do you think this small approx. 3mm syrinx could cause this many problems? Thank you !

Federed55 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 78 diseños de 36 diseñadores freelance.
We're an entertainment development & production company looking for a funky, modern, minimalist logo for Siren Features, LLC. The logo can just use the word "Siren". The term is described here, on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siren. We're looking for something clean and simple, not too ornate. We'll need to use it on a website, business cards, letterhead, etc.
We would like something minimalist - so in that sense modern - but since the term (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siren) has classic origins, some classic touches would be nice. I'll leave it up to the designers - I don't want to stifle anyone's creativity. We think it's a fun, beautiful name, and the logo should be in keeping with that sense of it.
Wikipedia description (but I'd recommend visiting the page - pretty interesting):
In Greek mythology, the Sirens (Greek singular: Σειρήν Seirēn; Greek plural: Σειρῆνες Seirēnes) were three dangerous bird-women, portrayed as seductresses
Sailors who sailed near were compelled by the Sirens' enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast.
The sirens of Greek mythology are sometimes portrayed in later folklore as mermaid-like; in fact, some languages use the same word for both bird and fish creatures, such as the Maltese word 'sirena'.
The term "siren song" refers to an appeal that is hard to resist but that, if heeded, will lead to a bad result.
- Siren should be written somewhere, but nothing is etched in stone. I'm just looking for something inspiring.
- It should condense well - so it looks good on a business card (that's next).
Updated: I like some of the one's I've rated - 2 in particular. What might be interesting is something kind of like a cross between the starbucks woman and Munch's scream (http://www.oxideradio.co.uk/shows/c…ian_music/)
- A logo too ornate.

text: Of all the consumer electronics (and other products of varying origin) we saw at CES 2014, these are our picks for the most interesting, the most important, and the most awesome. Above: Oculus Rift For the second year in a row, the Oculus Rift was one of the coolest things we saw at CES. The company's new Crystal Cove prototype has unbelievable head tracking, letting you lean in and out and look at objects from multiple angles. For example, you can now lean forward, angle your head and peer around a wall. They've also come very close to licking the immersion-quashing latency issues (lag time) of the previous prototype with some innovative new tricks. There's basically no discernible motion blur. This year, nearly every member of our CES team got a demo, and we all had the same post-Oculus reaction: giddy, wide-eyed amazement. It's one of those rare products you know will change everything when it finally gets a consumer release. Photo: Ariel Zambelich/WIREDSony Handycam FDR-AX100 It's always great when a company figures out a way to make brand new tech affordable (see the Vizio P-Series TVs). At this year's CES Sony managed to do it with a 4K camcorder. Well, sort of. The $2,000 FDR-AX100 is still kinda pricey, but it's more than half the cost of last year's massive FDR-AX1. Even better, it has the same size sensor found in the insanely excellent RX100 and RX10 cameras: a 1-inch-type Exmor R CMOS to be precise. Throw in built-in Wi-Fi and NFC capabilities -- which let you transfer footage wirelessly and pair the AX100 easily with NFC-enabled mobile devices -- and you have something we weren't expecting for a quite some time: a legitimately awesome prosumer 4K camcorder. Photo: Ariel Zambelich/WIREDSony 4K Ultra Short Throw Projector This was one of the most mind-blowing devices we saw at the show this year. It's a projector that sits on the floor and fires upwards, turning your blank wall into a massive 147-inch 4K screen. It is the home theater device of the show. It's got a gorgeous, sleek, minimalist design that looks like a work of art. But then it comes alive to fill the room with a true theater-quality visual and audio experience. Sony says its Ultra HD movie machine will ship this year, but the company hasn't announced any pricing yet. You should count on it being expensive. Photo: Ariel Zambelich/WIREDVizio's $1,000 4K Television UltraHD televisions were literally everywhere at CES. However, the big news is that they're coming way down in price. For example, Vizio's P-Series Ultra HD sets will start at just $1,000 — yes $1,000 for a 50-inch, 4K television set. Granted, 50 inches is "small" for a 4K set — you'll need to be sitting pretty close to it to see the extra resolution goodness. But a grand for a high-end 50-inch TV is amazing. Even if you're not interested in Ultra HD content, that is an insane deal; you'll be able to watch 1080p content on it and have a future-ready panel at your service when 4K content is more prevalent. Photo: Ariel Zambelich/WIREDPebble Steel This year, Pebble managed to address the two biggest complaints people have about smartwatches: their lack of functionality and clunky looks. The new Pebble Steel channels the styling of a classic men's watch while also adding a number of new optimized apps to the mix. A new Mercedes one was particularly interesting. It provides stats like your current mileage, how much fuel is in your tank, and your current tire pressure, whether you're near the car or not. While driving, you can set the app to deliver vibration alerts to your wrist for different events, like if traffic is getting heavy ahead. You can also configure Pebble's three buttons for quick actions performed through the phone and over the car's dash system, like activating Siri. The Pebble Steel will cost $250 and will ship later this month. Photo: Christina Bonnington/WIREDIntel Smart Earbuds CES was awash in wearables this year — almost all of them wristbands, and all of them claiming to be unique even though they all do pretty much the same stuff. Intel's leap into wearables are truly interesting, though. The company is making a set of body-monitoring earbuds. There's a tracker inside that syncs to both iOS and Android phones. It collects calorie, pace, distance, and time data. But more importantly, it tracks your heartbeat in real time and offers a visible history graph on your phone's screen. Plus, if you're falling below or going above your target heart rate, the system automatically plays a song to pump you up or calm you down. Intel won't sell the smart earbuds itself. It plans to partner up with a company that's already handling activity trackers, like Nike, Strava, FitBit, or Jawbone. No word from on Intel on who exactly its future partner will be, but we should expect the the Smart Earbuds to arrive at retailers this year.Razer's Project Christine Razer had some pretty great stuff to show off this year, namely an innovative little wearable called the Nabu. But one of the coolest things we saw from the company was hidden away in a back room at the company's booth. Project Christine is Razer's first crack at a stackable and completely customizable PC. The idea behind this gorgeous glowing green tower is to make the build-your-own ethos that many hardcore PC gamers have embraced less intimidating and expensive to normal folks. Each key part of the machine (memory, graphics cards, etc) will be modular and self-contained unit, allowing users to swap them in and out as necessary. Razer is even toying with a subscription model that would let customers upgrade to the newest parts as soon as they become available. For now, Project Christine is just a concept, but the company hopes gamers will ultimately embrace the idea. We certainly do. Photo: Jim Merithew/WIREDMophie Space Pack The charging phone case wizards at Mophie have a winner with their new Space Pack, a battery pack with built-in data storage. Available in 16 and 32 GB versions for iPhones, the Space Pack looks almost exactly like the Juice Pack Air except for the button on the back, which is used to signify battery level — on this model, it's silver. This button does double duty on the Space Pack, switching on its own internal file management system. Take photos, shoot videos, and download files, and store them locally inside the case where they won't waste space on your phone. And of course, like a Juice Pack, it provides double the battery life you'd normally get from your iPhone. It's iOS only for now, (Android phones already have built-in file management, and most have external storage options) and it ships March 14. It's $150 for the 16 GB model and the 32 GB version is $180.GoldenEar SuperCinema 3D Array XL Soundbars are a classic "me-too" audio product. They don't cost much to make, and companies know there's a massive built-in market for them, so they tend to push out a lot of ill-performing crap. Not GoldenEar. The company amazed us a few years back with a soundbar that sounded as good as (if not better than) a pair of great stereo speakers — not an easy feat. Now, the SuperCinema 3D Array has been stretched into an extra-large version designed for HDTVs 70 inches and more. While the new version comes with the same the crosstalk elimination technology that made the 3D Array sound so great, it also adds another pair of mid-bass drivers to the mix, giving listeners a full left/center/right speaker configuration, plus a second set of drivers. During our demo, the array sounded as amazing as ever. You can pick one up this spring for $1,500.

Perform a series of various changes to improve developer experience on Fedora.
- Name: Jan Zelený
- Email: <firstname.lastname@example.com>
- Name: Marcela Mašláňová
- Email: <email@example.com>
(Please add yourself if you are responsible for some part of it).
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 19
- Last updated: 2013-1-23
- Percentage of completion: 2%
Detailed Description
This feature aims on setting up development environment for various languages. Target groups include beginning developers but also experienced developers not used to GNU/Linux as well as experienced Linux developers not used to Fedora.
This feature will cover a basic set of tasks which will prepare Fedora for later additions. The first part of the feature is a review of comps groups which would lead to better granularity of package sets necessary for development in different languages. Another part is about providing tool or tools for simple start of a project in terms of creating project template based on different languages and/or frameworks which the project should use.
There are other optional activities like vim/eclipse/emacs/... plugins, integration of rpm build tools, .... These optional parts are not goal for F19 but they will be integrated in time.
- C (phracek)
- Ruby (vondruch)
- Python (bkabrda)
- Perl (mmaslano)
- PHP (rcollet)
- Java (msrb)
- Javascript
Benefit to Fedora
Make the development on Fedora easier for beginners.
- Adding new (leaf) packages, which will contain setup scripts.
- Comps: a review of existing development-related package groups will take place
- cleanup of some groups will be necessary
- new groups might be created to meet the demand for per-language tool and library sets
How To Test
Try to install package containing setup for your favourite language.
User Experience
Entry barrier for development on Linux should be lower. Inexperienced users will be able to setup their development faster.
None at the moment, none expected. We intend to build on top of current state of Fedora.
Contingency Plan
Do not ship the result if not ready. Since the feature is not required for anything else in the system, there will be no complications if not shipped. Changes in comps groups will be consulted before pushed and if necessary, changes can be simply reverted.
Blog posts will be released to make some publicity. Man pages will be primary source of documentation for the functionality. The documentation will be developed along with the functionality.
Release Notes
Developers Assistant feature will provide packages containing skeletons, settings, which will provide help to developers. Also new or improved yum groups are part of this feature.

George E. Garvey received his B.A. from the University of Illinois at Chicago and graduated from the University of Wisconsin Law School. Following law school he clerked for Chief Judge John Reynolds of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin and then practiced antitrust law for several years at a law firm in Milwaukee. Professor Garvey joined the faculty of the Catholic University Law School in 1978. He served as associate dean for academic affairs from 1989 until 1997, and as the university's vice-provost and dean of graduate studies from 2003-2008. Garvey was acting dean of the law school in 2012 and has also served as vice-dean.
Garvey teaches constitutional law, antitrust, property, regulated industries and Catholic social teaching and law. His publications include Economic Law and Economic Growth: Antitrust, Regulations, and the American Growth System and numerous book chapters and articles related to competition law and policy, domestic and international economic regulation, and the relationship between law and Catholic Social Teaching.
In 1980, Professor Garvey took leave from the university to serve as counsel to the Subcommittee on Monopolies and Commercial Law of the United States House of Representatives' Committee on the Judiciary. He subsequently served as a special consultant to the Judiciary Committee on antitrust treble damages and has testified at numerous congressional hearings on various pending bills related to antitrust law and policy. Garvey has been the recipient of two Fulbright grants; the first to conduct research as a senior scholar at the Max Planck Institute in Hamburg, Germany, and the second as a senior lecturer at the Jagiellonian University of Krakow, Poland.

The Main Menu is the screen from which all of the Rockbox functions can be accessed. This is the first screen you will see when starting Rockbox. To return to the Main Menu, press the Top-Left button.
All settings are stored on the unit. However, Rockbox does not access the flash storage solely for the purpose of saving settings. Instead, Rockbox will save settings when it accesses the flash storage the next time, for example when refilling the music buffer or navigating through the File Browser. Changes to settings may therefore not be saved unless the player is shut down safely (see section 3.1.2).
Plus or Bottom-Middle
Select the next option in the menu.
Minus or Top-Middle
Select the previous option in the
Menu or Centre or Middle-Right
Select option.
Power or Middle-Left
Exit menu or setting, or move to parent menu.
If the Save a list of recently created bookmarks option is enabled then you can
view a list of several recent bookmarks here and select one to jump straight to that
Note: Bookmarking only works when tracks are launched from the file browser, and does not
currently work for tracks launched via the database. In addition, they do not currently work
with dynamic playlists.
Plus or Bottom-Middle
Select the next bookmark.
Minus or Top-Middle
Select the previous bookmark.
Menu or Centre or Middle-Right
Resume from the selected bookmark.
Power or Middle-Left
Exit Recent Bookmark menu.
Delete the currently selected bookmark.
Long Menu or Long Centre or Long Middle-Right
Enter the context menu for the selected bookmark.
There are two options in the context menu:
Resume will commence playback of the currently selected bookmark entry.
Delete will remove the currently selected bookmark entry from the list.
This entry is not shown in the Main Menu when the option is off (the default setting). See section 8.7 for more details on configuring bookmarking in Rockbox.
Browse the files on your player (see section 4.1).
Browse by the meta-data in your audio files (see section 4.2).
Go to the While Playing Screen and resume if music playback is stopped or paused and there is something to resume (see section 4.3).
The Settings menu allows you to set or adjust many parameters that affect the way your player works. There are many submenus for different parameter areas. Every time you are setting a value of a parameter, and that value is selected from a list of some predefined available values, you can press Long Menu or Long Centre or Long Middle-Right, and the selection cursor will jump to the default value for the parameter. You can then confirm or cancel the value. This is useful if you have changed the value of the parameter from the default to some other value and would like to restore the default value.
The Sound Settings menu offers a selection of sound properties you may change to customise your listening experience. The details of this menu are covered in section 6.
The Playback Settings menu allows you to configure settings related to audio playback. The details of this menu are covered in section 7.
The General Settings menu allows you to customise the way Rockbox looks and the way it plays music. The details of this menu are covered in section 8.
The Theme Settings menu contains options that control the visual appearance of Rockbox. The details of this menu are covered in section 9.
The Manage Settings option allows the saving and re-loading of user configuration settings, browsing the hard drive for alternate firmwares, and finally resetting your player back to initial configuration. The details of this menu are covered in section 12.3.
This menu option switches to the radio screen. The FM radio has the ability to remember station frequency settings (presets). Since stations and their frequencies vary depending on location, it is possible to load these settings from a file. Such files should have the filename extension .fmr and reside in the directory /.rockbox/fmpresets (note that this directory does not exist after the initial Rockbox installation; you should create it manually). To load the settings, i.e. a set of FM stations, from a preset file, just "play" it from the file browser. Rockbox will "remember" and use it in PRESET mode until another file has been selected. Some preset files are available here: FmPresets.
Middle-Left, Middle-Right
Change frequency in SCAN mode or jump to next/previous station in PRESET mode.
Long Middle-Left, Long Middle-Right

Leave the radio screen with the radio playing.
Bottom-Right or Power
Stop the radio and return to Main Menu.
Mute radio playback.
Switch between SCAN and PRESET mode.
Long Menu or Centre
Open a list of radio presets. You can view all the presets that you have, and switch to the station.
Menu or Long Centre
Display the FM radio settings menu.
Note: The radio will turn off when starting playback of an audio file.
This menu allows you to work with playlists. Playlists can be created in three ways. Playing a file in a directory causes all the files in it to be placed in a playlist. Playlists can be created manually by either using the Context Menu (see section 4.1.2) or using the Playlist menu. Both automatically and manually created playlists can be edited using this menu.
With this option you can load and run various plugins that have been written for Rockbox. There are a wide variety of these supplied with Rockbox, including several games, some impressive demos and a number of utilities. A detailed description of the different plugins is to be found in section 11.
Warning: It is not recommended that users access this menu unless instructed to do so in the course of fixing a problem with Rockbox. If you think you have messed up your settings by use of this menu please try to reset all settings before asking for help.
Although the Quick Screen is accessible from nearly everywhere, not just the Main Menu, it is worth mentioning here. It allows rapid access to your four favourite settings. The default settings are Shuffle (section 7), Repeat (section 7) and the Show Files (section 8.2) options, but almost all configurable options in Rockbox can be placed on this screen. To change the options, navigate through the menus to the setting you want to add and press Long Menu or Long Centre or Long Middle-Right. In the menu which appears you will be given options to place the setting on the Quick Screen.
Press Bottom-Left to access it and Power or Menu or Any corner or Centre to exit. The direction buttons will modify the individual setting values as indicated by the arrow icons. Please note that the settings at opposite sides of the screen cycle through the available options in opposite directions. Therefore if you select the same setting at e.g. the top and bottom of the quickscreen, then pressing up and down will cycle through this setting in opposite directions.
This menu item is a container for user defined shortcuts to files, folders or settings. With a shortcut,
Note: Shortcuts into the database are not possible
Shortcuts are loaded from the file /.rockbox/shortcuts.txt which lists each item to be displayed. Each shortcut looks like the following:
Only "type" and "data" are required (except if type is "separator" in which case "data" is also not required).
Available types are:
If the name/icon items are not specified, a sensible default will be used.
Note: For the "browse" type, if you want the file browser to start inside a folder, make sure the data has the trailing slash (i.e /Music/ instead of /Music). Without the trailing slash, it will cause the file browser to open with /Music selected instead.
The file shortcuts.txt can be edited with any text editor. Most items can also be added to it through their context menu item "Add to shortcuts". A reboot is needed for manual changes to shortcuts.txt to be applied.
Shortcuts can be manually removed by selecting the one you wish to remove and pressing Long Menu or Long Centre or Long Middle-Right.

Critics say Walker's sentence too short
The 20-year prison sentence given to Staff Sgt. Luis A. Walker, the Air Force instructor at the center of a sweeping basic training scandal, could have been tougher.
Jurors had the chance to hand him life without parole for his conviction on offenses involving 10 female trainees, including rape and aggravated sexual assault.
In delivering the shorter sentence last week, the military jury at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland made it possible for Walker, 26, to re-enter society in as soon as six years.
For retired Air Force Tech. Sgt. Jennifer Norris, a military sexual trauma victim and advocate, the sentence is "a slap in the face" of Walker's victims.
"If you think about it in terms of justice, 20 years equals two years for each victim," said Norris. "If he gets out on good behavior, he could be out in 10 or less. That equals maybe six months to one year per victim."
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., called the sentence "grossly inadequate."
"This guy should be put away for 20 years and should not be in a setting where he can be a predator on women ever again," said Speier, who in June urged Congress to investigate the Lackland scandal.
While some consider the sentence too light, retired Air Force Col. Morris Davis, said he thought it was fair.
"I think a 20-year sentence is a significant sentence, and it sends a pretty strong message in the Air Force that in 2012 this sort of behavior is not going to be condoned," said Davis, who oversaw the service's justice system in 2008-09.
Attorney Frank Spinner likened Walker's case to one of his own most notorious clients — Staff Sgt. Delmar Simpson, convicted in 1997 of rape in the Army's Aberdeen Proving Ground scandal in Maryland.
The story there, as at Lackland, was one of NCOs using their power to obtain sexual favors from vulnerable trainees. Both were accused of sexual contact with many women and got similar sentences, with Simpson's 25 years cut to 21 on appeal. He got out after serving 14 years.
Factors in military sentencing include rehabilitation; preserving good order and discipline; punishment; deterrence; and protecting society. Prosecutors asked that Walker get 40 years, while the defense and his family sought mercy.
"Just the conviction alone, in my mind, sends a message, that the Air Force will not tolerate training instructors becoming involved sexually with trainees either by force or otherwise," Spinner said.
"Unless we were in that deliberation room, I don't think it is fair to condemn the outcome," said retired Lt. Col. Geoffrey Corn, a one-time Army lawyer now a professor at South Texas College of Law in Houston.
"The jury did its duty," he added. "Could it have been more? Yes. Could it have been less? Yes. The point is that we define justice by process, and the process here produced a credible result."
Nancy Parrish, founder of Protect Our Defenders, a victim advocate group, said accused rapists in the military are rarely prosecuted. She and other critics of the military point to a Pentagon study last year showing that an estimated 19,000 sexual assaults occurred in the armed forces, with only a few thousand reported.
Parrish called the sentence "a step in the right direction." But, she added, "20 years in jail will not give back what these young women have lost."
Walker's case does not lend itself to easy comparisons with similar sex crimes cases in state courts. Jeff Mulliner, a San Antonio criminal defense attorney, said Walker would not have faced aggravated sexual assault charges in the civilian justice system.
To do that, prosecutors would have to show that a defendant used a deadly weapon, caused serious bodily injury or used physical force. Instead, Walker, who wielded his position of power, likely would have been charged with sexual assault, which has a penalty range of two to 20 years.
The power imbalance that made Walker's crimes possible, he added, would have complicated the job of prosecutors in a civilian court.
"You'd have a hard time fitting that into the sexual assault statute in the civilian system," Mulliner said. "But it is a lot easier in military court because they have rules proscribing conduct between those parties."
But Anu Bhagwati, a former Marine Corps officer heading Service Women's Action Network, agreed with Davis.
"This guy's life is definitely over in terms of living a normal life, so I think justice is served," she said. "Now will the military use him as a sacrificial lamb or is the military going to seriously tackle the issue of pervasive sexual assault in the armed forces?"

A federal appeals court today reversed former Qwest chief executive Joe Nacchio's six-year prison sentence.
The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals remanded the case to the district court for resentencing. The move means Nacchio's sentence could be cut to less than three and a half years. He was convicted in 2007 on 19 counts of insider trading.
"We reverse the district court's sentencing order with respect to its gain calculation and its forfeiture determination and remand for resentencing consistent with this opinion," the 10th Circuit said in its order.
Nacchio began serving his 72-month sentence in April.
He argued in his appeal that he should have received a sentence ranging from 41 months to 51 months because his actual gain on the illegal insider trades was $1.8 million. The district court based its initial sentence on a gain of $28 million.
"On remand, the district court should focus on arriving at a figure that more closely approximates Mr. Nacchio's gain resulting from the offense of insider trading," the appeals court said today.

Today CyberLink has introduced their new version 13 of the PowerDVD media player, bringing some new and interesting features and improvements, some of which related to 3D, though not that much is actually targeted especially at stereoscopic 3D support. If you are going to be using the player for Blu-ray 3D movie and would use the player mostly for 3D video playback you'd need the Ultra version as the other two versions of the player – Pro and Deluxe do not come with stereo 3D video support at all.
Among the more interesting features in the new PowerDVD 13 are things like official support for the new AVCHD 2.0 standard (including 3D video support), playback of lossless APE audio (OGG and FLAC are already supported), 4K video support (for bitrates up to 60 Mbps) and a new subtitle rendering engine allowing you to better customzie how the subtitles appear. CyberLink also promises faster startup time for Blu-ray movies, better speed and responsiveness of the playback for various types of media. With the new PowerDVD 13 there is more attention for not only HD and 3D video playback, but for HD audio as well, so if you have a more serious sound system you can enjoy not only high-quality audio from movies, but also play looseless stereo audio and multichannel HD audio as well. It is interesting to note that the new PowerDVD 13 also supports TrueTheater HD for Blu-ray movies and Full HD videos (upscaling resolution) as compared to the previous version 12.
There isn't much changed on the types of stereoscopic 3D display devices and output modes from the previous version, though they were already quite comprehensive with support for only 3D-capable DLP Link projectors using DLP Link glasses being the only thing that is still missing, though frame sequential mode is supported on a devices using 3D Vision with compatible hardware. PowerDVD 13 Ultra is available with a price of US $99.95 or €99.99 Euro and if you have an older 11/12 Ultra version you can upgrade for half the price of the license.

Meg Whitman's ads in the governor's race have been so misleading that it's sort of refreshing to see one that hits its mark. This ad says Jerry Brown has no plan for California. And the truth of it is: Jerry Brown has no plan for California.
Now, of course, Jerry Brown has released proposals on green jobs and pensions. And he says he has plans he'll reveal after the election. (Let me be the first to invite him to unveil that plan publicly after the election -- I'll put on an event for him anywhere in the state, even if it's the plan of a jobless former attorney general). And there's a woman-in-a-glass-house-throwing-stones quality about Whitman making the accusation, given that her own plan is mostly (but not entirely) a fig leaf.
But the heart of the attack couldn't be more true (no matter what the Brown campaign says in its pushback). Brown, in his first governorship, really didn't have a plan. He was publicly and repeatedly proud of that fact. "What we need is a flexible plan for an everchanging world," was one of his favorite things to say in those days. Brown thought political plans were essentially meaningless props. When you look at Meg Whitman's plan, you'd have to admit: maybe Brown has a point.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
These are not normal times. You know the unemployment and budget figures. A gubernatorial candidate really should have a real, detailed plan for fixing the state's budget and political systems. (Whitman should get one too while she's at it).
Yes, a real plan, with unpleasant proposals, might make it hard to win the election. But winning this election without one is no prize. Calfiornia is so dysfunctional that there's no point in being governor unless you have a mandate from voters for tough action.

It has been 15 years since the Icelandic Emigration Center opened. Is is estimated that between 20 to 25% of the total population of Iceland emigrated to North America in the early 1900s.
Nelson Gerrard, a write from Eyrarbakki, Manitoba has been in Iceland this summer assisting in answering genealogical inquiries, and in helping at putting together exhibits at the Emigration Center.
He specializes in recording the history of Icelandic emigrants in North America, and his books include Icelandic River Saga and The Icelandic Heritage, and he is currently researching Gimlunga Saga, a 3-volume history of pioneers in the Gimli area.
The museum is at http://en.hofsos.is/, and their email is firstname.lastname@example.com
In Canada, Gimli, Manitoba was where many of the Icelandic people settled, and there is the New Iceland Heritage Museum (NIHM). It was founded in Gimli in 1973.
There is archival photos and local history research material, free audio tours, and there is the Gimli Webcam.
