On December 27, Anarchists Against the Wall co-founder Jonathan Pollak was slapped with a three month prison sentence for illegal assembly. He was convicted by an Israeli magistrate judge for his participation in a January 2008 Critical Mass bike ride through the streets of Tel Aviv in protest of Israel's brutal military assault on the Gaza Strip. Though Pollak was offered community service, he accepted prison time because he was convinced that he had done nothing wrong.
The day before Pollak was sentenced, an Israeli judge handed down a sentence of six months of community service to Michael Naky. Naky's crime? He helped devise and detonate a pipe bomb in order to kill as many homosexuals as possible at the 2007 Jerusalem gay pride parade.
In a single day in Israel's kangaroo courts, a right-wing terrorist was sentenced to a few months of street cleaning while a non-violent activist dedicated to stopping the occupation was jailed under the most specious charges. And while Pollak's sentencing was reported with great fanfare in Israel's major papers, Naky's passed below the radar (Yedioth devoted just six lines). The contrast in punishments represented just another symptom of a sick society unwilling to face the Molock in the mirror.
The state has made little effort to disguise the political nature of Pollak's prosecution. He was not a ringleader of the Critical Mass protest, nor did he behave in an unusual manner. He simply rode his bike slowly, disrupting the normal flow of traffic along with dozens of demonstrators. However, the police recognized him as a prominent organizer of unarmed protests against the Israeli military repression in the West Bank, singled him out and arrested him.
I have documented Pollak's actions at protests across the West Bank, where he spends most of his weekends, and I witnessed the respect he has earned from the residents of besieged Palestinian villages who count on him as their liaison to the outside world — a realm that the state of Israel has largely forbidden them from interacting with. Last summer, Pollak helped me gain entry into Ofer Military Prison to witness the show trials of Palestinian popular committee members who organize the unarmed protests against the Israeli segregation wall. He has done the same for numerous European diplomats, including British Foreign Secretary William Hague, who declared after a harrowing tour of the Israeli Occupation that Pollak helped arrange: "Popular resistance to the Occupation is the sole remaining possible alternative for the Palestinians to achieve their rights and avoid armed struggle."
It is clear why the Israeli justice system acted in such a draconian fashion against Pollak: His activism is making an impact against the Occupation.
Association for Civil Rights in Israel chief legal counsel Dan Yakir described the political nature of Pollak's prosecution succinctly when he said, "The fact that Pollak was the only one arrested, even though he behaved just like the rest of the protesters, and the fact that bicycle demonstrations are usually held without police involvement raises a strong suspicion regarding personal persecution and a severe blow for freedom of expression, just because of his opinions. A prison sentence in the wake of a protest is an extreme and exaggerated punishment."
Naky's lenient sentencing appeared to have been influenced by politics as well, especially when viewed in light of the state's treatment of other right-wing terrorists. Chaim Pearlman, a fanatical settler suspected of stabbing to death three Palestinians in cold blood, was set free after a month in Shin Bet custody. And Jack Teitel, another Jewish settler convicted of randomly murdering several Palestinians and attempting to kill the Israeli left-wing intellectual Zeev Sternhell (Teitel also planned to attack the 2006 Jerusalem gay pride parade), was allowed to plead insanity and ruled unfit to stand trial.
The Israeli justice system has extended no such privileges to Palestinians like Ibrahim Amireh or Abdullah Abu Rahmeh, who rot in Israeli military prisons for resisting their dispossession through unarmed protest. And the state is leveling every legal weapon at its disposal against activists like Pollak, who declared at his sentencing hearing: "I will go to prison wholeheartedly and with my head held high. It will be the justice system itself, I believe, that ought to lower its eyes in the face of the suffering inflicted on Gaza's inhabitants, just like it lowers its eyes and averts its vision each and every day when faced with the realities of the occupation."

2-Goal Lead Evaporates in Last Few Minutes
COLLEGE PARK, MD. – The Yale men's lacrosse team, which scored six straight goals to erase a four-goal deficit while holding No. 1 Syracuse scoreless for 43 minutes, needed to protect a two-goal lead with a little over three minutes left to earn its first national semifinal appearance since 1990. The 6-4 lead evaporated in a span of 44 seconds and then Dylan Donahue found the net with 13 seconds left as the Orange squeezed past the Bulldogs 7-6 in the NCAA Quarterfinal at Byrd Stadium.
Junior Brandon Mangan led the Bulldog scoring with three, while sophomore Conrad Oberbeck had two, and senior Michael Lipin had one. Assists came from freshman Mark Glicini and senior captain Michael McCormack.
While it was not how the Bulldogs and their fans wanted it to end, Ryan & Forst Head Coach Andy Shay continues to be proud of his team: "It was a tough pill to swallow for us. I would like to congratulate my team for its performance. I couldn't put into words how proud I am of this group. Every moment, I enjoy coaching them and, true to form, they are just so tough and gritty. It's an amazing group to coach."
Syracuse started the scoring with the only man-up goal in the game at 12:31 left in the first. In the next four minutes, the guys in white shirts scored two more. With 1:22 left, the Orange scored their last goal for the next three quarters, to lead 4-0. Not letting the quarter end scoreless for the Elis, Mangan took the ball from behind the left side of the net, ran along the crease and while getting pushed, managed to shoot below the crossbar to score with four seconds left, making it 4-1 heading into the second quarter.
The next Bulldog tally came from Oberbeck with 8:03 left in the half. Picking up a missed shot by Lipin behind the net, Oberbeck ran to the front, faked high twice, and shot it five-hole to cut the Syracuse lead to 4-2. Both teams were held scoreless for the rest of the half and deep into the third quarter.
Mangan was the next to find the net with 5:23 left in the third. After getting the ball behind the net, he ran it up the right wing and sent a bounce shot to the bottom left corner to score and bring the Cuse lead to one, at 4-3.
Nine seconds later, Oberbeck erased the Bulldog deficit. Junior Dylan Levings won the following face-off and passed it off to Glicini, who quickly passed it across to Oberbeck on the right wing, allowing him to shoot a beautiful riser to hit the back of the net and tie it at 4-4.
Five minutes later, Mangan scored his third goal off a great defensive play led by McCormack. The captain caused a turnover in the defensive zone, allowing senior Peter Johnson to pick up the ground ball. By the time Johnson had it, McCormack was at the midfield line, ready to push the transition. Johnson passed it off, and McCormack ran it into the offensive zone before seeing Mangan on the left wing. The junior attackman scored and give the Elis their first lead of the game at 5-4.
Mangan addressed the offenses' recent tendency to start slow: "Lately we've been starting a little sticky on offense. I mean we started down 5-1 against Penn State. We've been able to make adjustments on the line and just playing with a little bit more sense of urgency, swing the ball earlier. In the first couple of possessions we stalled out a little bit. There were some guys stuck to guys' sticks so we were just trying to move the ball a little bit. We hit four pipes in the first quarter. Once we started to get the ball to fall, we started to get into a bit of a rhythm and it felt good."
Sophomore goalie Eric Natale added, "We've been down every game this year and every game we've managed to fight and at least be in it. It's great going into the locker room at halftime and knowing even if we're down as much as four goals against Penn State, that our offense and our defense is going to buckle down and keep playing and work to put ourselves into a position to win the game. Then from there, we've done it so many times that it just becomes habit. We know that if we're down a few, we're just going to come back and keep playing and see what happens at the end."
Natale helped his team immensely with 11 saves on the day. With many coming from point-blank range, he, along with the defense, kept the team in the game.
McCormack felt the defense "started to figure out their big-little set a little bit. Once we sort of hashed out the kinks during halftime on what we were doing wrong, we were able to get some stops. The biggest thing is that we were getting first time kills. Once we got the ball on the ground, we were able to get the ball out, which was huge in the third quarter and carried into the fourth. Obviously, Syracuse is a great team and I wish them the best of luck. They have a high-powered offense. They were able to score three goals in 3.5 minutes, but to hold them scoreless for 2.5 quarters is a testament to our defense."
Two minutes into the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs took their two-goal lead when Lipin crossed from left to right along the top of the offensive zone and shot it high in the left corner, bringing the score to 6-4.
The Yale defense continued to hold strong. With 4:40 left in the game, Glicini made a diving save in the crease to save a shot and recovered the groundball. Ninety seconds later, Syracuse ended its 43-minute scoring drought, to make it 6-5. Forty seconds after that, the Orange scored again to tie it at 6. With a little over a minute left, Oberbeck took a final shot but the Syracuse goalie was able to make the save.
Syracuse scored their final goal with 13 seconds left: "We shoved off when we probably wanted to hang tight with our man. Kevin Rice is a great feeder. He has excellent vision and had a full look at it and was able to throw it through and they made a play," said Shay.
Levings, who had a great day with 12 wins in 17 attempts, won the final face-off and passed it off to sophomore Harry Kucharczyk, but there just wasn't enough time.
The Bulldogs' season may have ended, but this game does not define their season. They became the first team in Ivy League history to win back-to-back Ivy League Tournament Championships, and became the first Yale team in 21 years to advance to the NCAA quarterfinals.
Shay could not say enough about this team: "I can't thank these seniors enough. When you graduate as much as we graduated last year, we all knew it might have been an uphill battle to do what we did last year, much less surpass it like we did, so I think we have gotten better every year. This senior class wouldn't accept anything less than surpassing last year, so I could talk forever about their contributions to this team and you wouldn't understand. They're just unbelievable. We've been down in every single game this year, and we've just come back. It's funny. Even today, we were like, 'Okay, is this the day we don't come back?' Sure enough, these guys just keep grinding. I'm very proud to be their coach and I think hopefully we as a program have learned every year these last four years and we can build on this. I think we're going to have to work as hard as we did this year, which is saying something."

Daniel Dunham writes "The needless expense of AAA video game development is stifling creativity and originality in mainstream console gaming space. Need proof? Well, you needn't look much further than popular AAA video game franchises such as Dead Space, Resident Evil and Final Fantasy, to see what I'm talking about."
The answer is more than simple. So many game companies spend 10's of millions of dollars on developing a Game that they hope will make Call of Duty(Overrated) sales. The fact that the industry is TOO focused on graphics imposes a serious problem to innovating gameplay mechanics in a AAA title.
Let's go back to the days when risk was taken without the expense of multimillion dollars projects at the hope of selling a million...
There were more garbage games but also more gems..
This is true. AAA games play it safe because they have to sell 3 mil copies to even be considered a success. High production value, low creativity, endless sequels.
instead of spending $80 million on a game, make 4 $20 million dollar games.
* expands possible genres
* allows more experimentation
* allows more IP's to be liked by gamers and potential for them to catch on.
An important article because people need to be familiar with some of these concepts.

Manage networks
If you have the legacy free edition of G Suite, upgrade to G Suite Basic to get this feature.
In the Admin console, you can configure Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Virtual Private Network (VPN) access as well as network certificates for managed devices enrolled in your domain. When you add a network configuration, you can enforce the same network settings for your entire organization, or enforce specific network settings for different organizational units.
If you configure network settings by user, the settings are applied to all users' mobile devices and Chromebooks in the organizational unit. You can also configure network settings directly for Chromebook and Chromebox for meetings devices by device.
Note: If you need to use static IP addresses on Chromebooks in your organization, you can use IP address reservation on your Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. However, DHCP doesn't provide authentication. So, if you need to track the identity of Chrome devices on the network, you should use a separate authentication mechanism.
This article describes how to set up and configure networks for mobile devices, tablets, Chromebooks and Chromebox for Meetings devices.
Set up a networkAdd a VPN configuration
You can configure VPN access only for Chrome devices.
I am using the built-in VPN. If you are planning to use one of the VPN types that are natively supported in Chrome OS (Open VPN and L2TP over IPSec), add the VPN configuration by following these steps:
Set general VPN information
- Sign in to the Google Admin console.
- Click Device management > Network > VPN.
Where is it?
- Choose the appropriate organization from the list on the left.
- At the bottom, click Add VPN.
- Enter a name for the VPN.
- Enter the IP address or the full server hostname of the server that provides access to the VPN in the Remote host box.
- (Optional) To automatically connect devices to this VPN, check the Automatically connect box.
Configure VPN settings
- Choose a VPN type.
The Admin console can only push limited OpenVPN configurations. For example, it can't push configurations for OpenVPN networks with TLS authentication.
- (Optional) For L2TP over IPsec with Pre-Shared Key:
- Enter the pre-shared key needed to connect to the VPN. This value will no longer be visible after you save the configuration.
- Enter a username to connect to the VPN. The username supports username variables.
- (Optional) Enter password. If you're using a username variable, don't enter password. This value will no longer be visible after you save the configuration.
- (Optional) For OpenVPN:
- (Optional) Enter the port to use when connecting to the remote host.
- Choose the protocol to use for VPN traffic.
- Choose which authorities to allow when authenticating the certificate provided by the network connection. Choose from your uploaded certificates.
- Check the Use client enrollment URL box if the server requires client certificates. If checked, enter one or more values for an Issuer pattern or Subject pattern. Each value you specify must exactly match the respective value in the certificate for the certificate to be used.Your server should provide the certificate with the HTML5 keygen tag.
- Enter the OpenVPN username (supports username variables). Leave this blank to require individual user credentials at login.
- Enter the OpenVPN password. Leave this blank to require individual user credentials at login.
- Specify the proxy settings for your VPN.
Give VPN access
- (Optional) To restrict access to certain devices, uncheck the box next to the device.
- Click Add > Save Changes.
You can automatically add configured Wi-Fi networks to managed devices if they are enrolled in mobile management. Network management settings are available to all types of G Suite customer. Users need to have the Google Apps Device Policy installed on their Android 2.2 and above devices. Additional 802.1x Wi-Fi networks are supported only on Android 4.3 and later devices. For managed iOS devices, the following extensible authentication protocols (EAPs) are supported: Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP), Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP), Transport Layer Security (TLS), and Tunneled Transport Layer Security (TTLS).
Note: A mobile device always inherits its user's Wi-Fi network settings. Therefore, network settings for mobile devices can only be applied by user.
Set general network information
- Sign in to the Google Admin console.
- Click Device management > Network > Wi-Fi.
Where is it?
- Choose the appropriate organization from the list on the left.
- At the bottom, click Add Wi-Fi.
- Enter a name for the Wi-Fi network. The name is for your reference and does not have to match the network's service set identifier (SSID).
- Enter the Wi-Fi network's SSID. SSIDs are case-sensitive.
- (Optional) If your network does not broadcast its SSID, check the This SSID is not broadcast box.
- (Optional) To automatically connect devices to this network when it's available, check the Automatically connect box.
Configure security settings
- Choose a security type for the network.
Note: Dynamic WEP (802.1x) is supported only on Chrome devices.
- (Optional) For WEP (insecure) and WPA/WPA2 security types, enter a network security passphrase.
- (Optional) For WPA/WPA2 Enterprise (802.1x) and Dynamic WEP (802.1x) specify the following:
Note: For Android tablets used with G Suite for Education, you can't use WPA/WPA2 Enterprise (802.1x) during student tablet configuration, but it can be implemented manually after the tablets are enrolled.
- Choose an EAP for the network.
- (Optional) For EAP-TTLS and PEAP, choose the inner protocol to use. Automatic works for most configurations.
- (Optional) For EAP-TTLS and PEAP, enter the user identity to present to the network's outer protocol. The identity supports username variables.
- Enter a username for administering the network. The username supports username variables.
- (Optional) Enter a username password. A password is not required for EAP-TLS. This value will no longer be visible after you save the configuration.
- (Optional) Choose a server certificate authority. This is not required for LEAP or EAP-PWD.
- (Optional) For EAP-TLS networks, specify the following:
- Enter a client enrollment URL.
- Enter one or more values for an Issuer pattern or Subject pattern. Each value you specify must exactly match the respective value in the certificate for the certificate to be used. Your server should provide the certificate with the HTML5 keygen tag.
- Specify the proxy setting for the network.
Note: Chrome OS does not support authenticated proxies.
Under Proxy settings, choose one of these options:
Direct Internet connection
Allows direct Internet access to all websites without using a proxy server.
Note: Direct Internet connection is not supported on Android tablets used with G Suite for Education.
Manual proxy configuration
Specifies a proxy server configuration you define. Enter the server host IP address and the port number to use. To bypass the proxy server (not available for iOS device traffic) and have no proxy for some domains or IP addresses, enter them as a list, separated by commas (no spaces). Wildcard characters are accepted. For example, to add all variations of google.com, enter *google.com*.
Automatic proxy configuration Uses a Proxy Server Auto Configuration (.pac) file to determine the proxy server to use. Enter the PAC file URL.
Give network access
- (Optional) To restrict access to certain devices, uncheck the box next to the device.
- Choose whether to apply the network by user or by device.
Access by user is only supported on mobile devices and Chromebooks. Access by device is only supported on Chromebooks and Chromebox for meetings devices. For Android tablets used with G Suite for Education, choose by user.
- Click Add > Save Changes.
Additional notes on setting up Wi-Fi networks
- After you set up a Wi-Fi network and before you change the password, be sure to set up an additional network so that users get the updated Wi-Fi settings on their devices.
- If you have multiple Wi-Fi networks configured, you should change the password for them one at a time.
- Hidden networks can take a while to be identified on Android devices.
- Click Device Management > Network >VPN.
- Click Add XXX VPN link from the list of available 3rd party VPN apps.
- When re-directed to the app management page, configure your VPN for the applicable session (users/public/kiosk).
- Save the configuration.
- Refresh the network listing page to show the updated configuration.
Note: If any session (user/public/etc) of the VPN APP is configured as "Force Installation" (either locally applied or inherited), the VPN summary will show up in the VPN page. You can edit your configuration any time by clicking the EDIT button.
For Chrome and Android devices, you can tell the device to automatically try to connect to a secure network with username or identity credentials specified by policy. For example, you could specify to use the username or full email address of a signed-in user, so users need only to provide their password to authenticate.
To use this feature, specify one of the following variables in the Username or Outer identity boxes during Enterprise (802.1x), WPA/WPA2 Enterprise (802.1x), Dynamic WEP (802.1x) or VPN configuration.
During 802.1x configuration, if the ${PASSWORD} variable is specified, the user's current log-in password is used to authenticate. Otherwise, users are prompted to enter their password to authenticate.
Enter the text for the variable exactly as shown in the Variable column in the table below. For example, enter ${LOGIN_ID} to prompt the system to replace this variable with its value, jsmith.
The current user's username (example: jsmith).
Note: On Chrome devices, this variable is only replaced for networks that apply "by user".
The current user's full email address (example: jsmith@your_domain.com).
Note: On Chrome devices, this variable is only replaced for networks that apply "by user".
|The first rfc822Name Subject Alternate Name field from the client certificate matched to this network based on the Issuer or Subject pattern. This can be different from ${LOGIN_EMAIL} if a non-Google login is used to connect to wireless networks. Supported in Chrome 51 and higher.
|The first Microsoft User Principal Name otherName field from the client certificate matched to this network based on the Issuer or Subject pattern. Supported in Chrome 51 and higher.
|The current user's password (example: password1234).
- ${CERT_SAN_EMAIL} and ${CERT_SAN_UPN} will read only the X509v3 Subject Alternate Name from the certificate. Specifically, they will not read any fields from the Subject Name field.
- If the client certificate is missing the fields indicated for substitution, no substitution will take effect and the literal string variable will remain in the identity field.
- Certificate based substitution only works for Wi-Fi. It does not work for VPN.
- For Chrome 68 and later, automatic connection and authentication using the ${PASSWORD} variable works on all devices. For Chrome 66 and 67, it works on enrolled devices only.
Manage a networkChange or delete an existing configuration
You can change or delete an existing VPN, Wi-Fi, or Ethernet network configuration.
- Sign in to the Google Admin console.
- Depending on the type of configuration you want to change or delete, do one of the following:
- Click Device management > Network > Wi-Fi.
- Click Device management > Network > Ethernet.
- Click Device management > Network > VPN.
Where is it?
- Choose the appropriate organization from the list on the left.
- (Optional) To edit an existing configuration:
- To the right of the network, click Edit.
- Make any changes and click Apply.
- (Optional) To revert a locally applied network configuration in an organization, click Revert to the right of the network.
- If the network was added to the current organization, it will be permanently deleted.
- If the network was inherited from the parent organization and then edited, the locally applied changes will be reverted and the parent organization changes will be inherited.
- (Optional) To remove an inherited network from a suborganization, click Remove to the right of the network.
- Click Save Changes.
After you set up a network, you can manage the certificates associated with it. You can add new certificates if they are in X.509 PEM format as well as delete certificates your networks don't use. Some configurations using PEAP, TLS, and TTLS need server-side certificates to ensure accessibility. To configure certificates for an EAP Wi-Fi network, the device must be secured with a password, PIN, or pattern verification. On Android tablets for education, if your school does SSL inspection, add the public Certificate Authority (CA) here.
Do not upload certificates containing private keys.
To see any uploaded certificates:
- Sign in to the Google Admin console.
- Click Device management > Network.
Where is it?
- Click Certificates.
Android for Education Notes:
- The certificates must be public.
- Certificates with pkcs12 and a password are not accepted.
- Server Certificates are only available for tablets running Android 4.4 or later.
If you deploy a proxy on your web traffic, it may be possible to configure your proxy to append safe=strict to all search requests sent to Google. This parameter enables strict SafeSearch for all searches, regardless of the setting on the Search Settings page. However, the parameter doesn't work on searches that use SSL search. Learn how to prevent SSL searches from bypassing your content filters.
Use auto-connect featuresAuto-connect Chromebooks to managed networks
Checking Only allow managed networks to auto-connect means that Chromebooks can only automatically connect to a network that is specified in Device management > Network > Wi-Fi or Device management > Network > Ethernet.
- Sign in to the Google Admin console.
- Click Device management > Network > General Settings.
Where is it?
- Check the Only allow managed networks to auto-connect box.
- Click Save Changes.
Note: Users can still set up their Chromebook to automatically connect to a network they choose when signed in to their device, if the user creates a private network (one that isn't shared with anyone).
How auto-connect works for EAP-TLS networks on devices running Chrome 40+
If you're connecting to an EAP-TLS (client-certificate backed network) on Chrome devices running Chrome 40 and later, your Chromebooks will do the following:
- Automatically connect to EAP-TLS (client-certificate backed network) after an extension installs client certificates.
- After first login (even with Ephemeral mode), if there is a device certificate and a EAP-TLS network, again you will automatically switch to the certificate-backed network.
- If any device-wide managed network has been configured in the Admin console (not necessarily certificate-backed), at the login screen the managed network with 'highest' security will be automatically connected to.
How auto-connect works for non-EAP-TLS networks on devices running Chrome 40+
For an 802.1X network that is not EAP-TLS the auto-connect behavior will be different. Specifically, if your network has unique credentials associated with each user, then that user will have to manually connect to the 802.1X network the first time they log in on that device. This applies even if the auto-connect setting has been set and if they are using variables. Once the user connects manually for the first time, the login credentials are stored within their profile on the device. On future logins, they will be automatically connected to the network.
For more information about deploying WiFi and networking for Chrome devices, including setting up SSL content filters, see Enterprise networking for Chrome devices.
Accessibility: Network management settings are accessible by screen readers. For details, see Google Accessibility and the G Suite Administrator guide to accessibility. To report issues, see Google Accessibility Feedback.

I'm pretty sure that today's featured wedding is one of the most lovely, charming, filled-to-the-brim-with-personality weddings that we've ever featured. So much so that we've broken it down into two, absolutely perfect posts. The wedding was sent to us by the always inspiring team at Belathee whose photographs have given us a little window into SUCH a special wedding. Every detail was handmade by the bride and groom, every touch was thoughtfully designed and crafted by the pair or by their friends. This is one of those weddings that you'll want to bookmark and fall in love with over and over and over again. Click right here if you simply can't wait for part II.
From Belathee...
Maggie and Dave did what we love most: they brought so much soul and personality to their wedding. Incorporating a gray and yellow frame motif, they handmade everything from signs to programs to welcome kits to the backdrop for their ceremony. Their ceremony was intimate, personal and touching. For their exchange of rings, they passed a long ribbon across the aisles so that each guest held a part of the ribbon. They then passed the two wedding rings on the string and each guest was able to touch the rings and send a blessing. They also had two close friends sing the song "Parentheses" (by The Blow) accompanied by piano. At the end of the ceremony they asked the guests to sing along to a song Maggie had sang each day in elementary school. Maggie and Dave are huge music lovers and music played an important role in their wedding, as it does in their lives.
So much more to come but if you can't wait, click right here!

was my expression when I saw the news yesterday.
Pictures of halflife-counterstrike were flashing behind the reporter, who said, '...are pointing the finger at computer games, such as this." (Ofcourse, talking about the american sniper killings and trying to blame it on counterstrike.)
"OUTRAGEOUS!" Is what I say. When there are games that involve snipering innocent people for points, I wouldnt have attacked counterstrike of all games for a start. Do you think our beloved games are turning people into psychotic mass-murdering criminals of destruction? I sure as hell dont think so.
Does this piss you off too?

MERTZTOWN, Pa. - April 5, 2013 --State police in Berks County say a 65-year-old man had his pet duck beaten to death by someone who also tried to set fire to two vehicles at his home.
Investigators say it happened last month at the 65-year-old man's home in Longswamp Township, sometime between March 15 and March 30.
Trooper Stephen M. Penkala II tells The Reading Eagle that the person went into the man's home and fatally beat the duck. Police say the man reported someone had also tried to set fire to a tractor-trailer and another vehicle at his home.
The name of the victim hasn't been released. Police say the investigation is continuing.

CRESTVIEW � Mama's in bloom just in time for Christmas, and that warms Betty Woodward's heart.
CRESTVIEW � Mama's in bloom just in time for Christmas, and that warms Betty Woodward's heart.
The pink Christmas cactus was her late mother's only potted plant and, when it blooms, Woodward thinks fond thoughts of her mom, Verna Louise Gillis Williams.
"It always sat on her side porch," Woodward said. "She'd always be waiting by the porch when we'd come visit, leaning against a pillar."
Woodward said other family members took cuttings from the cactus before she brought it home to Crestview from her mother's house near Red Level, Ala.
She named the plant "Mama" in memory of her mother.
When a cutting is inadvertently knocked off the plant, Woodward promptly puts it in water to root, and gives away the new plant. Mama's offspring are scattered far and wide, she said.
"I've taken care of Mama for 32 years," Woodward said. "She's a centerpiece when you walk in my door. She welcomes everyone when they visit."
Mama's buds began to open earlier this week.
"It bloomed its heart out," Woodward said. "I know it has 200-plus blooms on it. She's just laden with them."
Woodward carefully covers Mama during cold nights to prevent damage. The plant is too heavy to be moved inside.
"Everybody says, 'Look after Mama.' There's a lot of sentimental value," Woodward said.
She calls her Lakeside East home "a memory house of Christmas." Each piece in the home, which is aglow with Christmas d�cor, holds a dear memory.
That's the way it should be, Woodward said.
"I think people have a tendency to lose the closeness of family," she said. "I have stories about everything in this house."

Update: So this comic trilogy has its final installment out. Can't wait to read "Who Let the Dork Out?". Hope it is as enjoyable as the previous two books.
Sequels are tricky business – be it movies or books. Most of the movie sequels fade in comparison to the original. Very few sequels do justice to the original. Similarly with a book, the sequels first of all need to live up to the reader's expectations (the readers are definitely going to have high expectations, as the first book would be invariably good to warrant a sequel) and the author would need to build on the existing concept to keep the reader engaged. Thankfully these days the sequels I've been reading – all of them are engaging enough. Maybe it is easier to write a sequel to a book since the author remains the same; with a movie the director can change, the editor may change, and many other external factors impact the end-result. But then I am a layman to sequels, except reading/watching them.
On Saturday morning I lay my hand on the sequel to Dork, Sidin Vadukut's second book – 'God Save The Dork', and I spent the weekend reading the book and I can say with assurance that my weekend was good. The protagonist Robin 'Einstein' Varghese is now in London and a new company is at the mercy of his consulting antics. Following a storyline similar to the first book, here too Robin strives to be a star-performer and how he manages that among his innumerable goof-ups is what makes the story.
I've always maintained it is difficult to write humour, and very few people have a knack for it. Thankfully Sidin seems to have a few funny bones in his body and comes up trumps in handling the humour. Although there were a few old jokes which I had read on internet earlier, but then those were just 2-3 instances. The story is mostly easy to follow, but since this book is in the form of diary entries there are a few gaps and keeps going off on tangents – but then that is what makes the book different from any other book.
If you enjoyed 'Dork' definitely pick up 'God Save The Dork', you would not be disappointed. Now hoping that Dork-3 is equally hilarious and continues the fabulous topsy-turvy journey of Robin Varghese.

ASUS P5Q Premium Review
Lately we have taken a look at some interesting motherboards based on one of Intel's latest chipsets, the P45/ICH10R combo. The P45 chipset is geared toward mainstream PC users and enthusiasts, giving us top technology for a price. Whether you are looking to upgrade from that older motherboard or just building a new system, you might want to check out what the P45 chipset has to offer you. The P45 chipset allows you to use your system to its fullest with fast speeds and current technology.
ASUS has adopted the P45 chipset for its P5Q line of motherboards. Today we are going to take a look at one of the company's high end models, the P5Q Premium, which uses the P45/ICH10R chipset. The ASUS P5Q Premium not only has the chipset up its sleeve but a whole lot more, such as being able to get you on the Internet in about five seconds from powering on and enhanced security features. All that and the speed you crave. Let's take a better look for ourselves.
Closer Look:
The ASUS P5Q Premium comes packaged in a very flashy box, which seems to be common with motherboards of a high end nature. The front of the box highlights some of the most important features of the P5Q Premium, including the EPU energy saving system and the ASUS Express Gate software that will allow you to get online quickly even without an operating system installed on your computer. It also highlights the sixteen phase power system ASUS has opted for on the P5Q board. The back of the box shows off a few more details of the features as well as a picture of the board and the specifications.
Opening up the package, you get a glimpse of the wealth of the accessories that are included with the ASUS P5Q Premium motherboard. I will go into more detail about the accessories next but here is a shot of the contents and the board still wrapped in the anti-static bag.
Now that everything is unboxed, let's take a look at what is included.

You thought Tcl/Tk stands for 'obsolete GUI'? You define the looks of Tk as 'prehistoric'? Or do you visualize ugly interfaces when reading this? I certainly do. Mats Bengtsson writes: "Tcl's windowing toolkit, Tk, has been 'known' to be ugly and outdated. With the 8.5 release last December the tile package, now named ttk (Themed Tk), is included in the core which brings true native widgets on Windows (yes, Vista too) and Mac." But what about Linux? Mats points at tileqt and the new tilegtk and notes: "Imagine that you can switch theme, and toolkits, on the fly without any program restart." Finally, he mentions progresses in both tkpath and support for WebKit. He concludes: "When all this comes together it will make Tk a very competitive toolkit."

text: Remembering to question what you know Francisca GoldsmithJan 2, 2014 Over the course of 2013, I read about a gross of books (probably equally distributed among the platforms of published paper, yet-to-be-published paper galley, ebook [both Kindle and iBook], and with my ears). It was a relatively light reading year for me and I even had several opportunities to make selections based on purely personal grounds (It's the "purely" in there that is unusual for me). [more]

I did get the right answer, even if I thought you were asking which cup would be coldest. 3 years of telling people to read the exam question properly apparently still hasn't sunk into my head
I'm still trying to think of a way to be a smartarse and break it though, are you allowed to cover or insulate these cups?

She had a painful past, one that made her put up barriers against everyone. When she is alone, she feels an odd connection to nature, as if there was something she is missing out in the wild. She brushes it off, but it never leaves. But when a mysterious man who knows more about her than he should wanders into her town and offers her a better life, she decides she has nothing to lose. As her life starts to look up however, she begins to have strange dreams. Suddenly, she is faced with questions about her life. What do the dreams mean? Who is this man? Could she really open up to someone, or would she get hurt again? As her past begins to haunt her, she must decide who she's willing to trust. Will she shut out another person to protect herself? Or will she finally let her guard down and learn to love again? Only time will tell.

John Cornelius, a former Episcopalian priest, will become the first Roman Catholic priest to be ordained despite being both married and a father. The ordination will occur in Buffalo, New York, as is permitted according to 2012 papal exception to the church's celibacy rule.
The Buffalo News reports on Cornelius' upcoming ordination, which will be conducted by Bishop Richard J. Malone of the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo.
Cornelius, 64, and his wife Sharyl converted to Catholicism two years ago. He was a priest with the Episcopal Church for 20 years until he retired in 2010.
On Tuesday Cornelius said, "I look forward to celebrating Mass again. It's been two years, and I missed it greatly. That closeness to God is an amazing thing."
In 2012, Pope Benedict XVI enacted a new directive which was meant to welcome in Episcopalians and Anglicans who converted to Roman Catholicism.
Through this "ordinariate" - an entry which is similar to diocese - over 100 priests, including Cornelius, have applied to be ordained. Cornelius will be among the first 30 to go through the process.

Cornelius will become a priest of the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, which is based in Houston, and overseen by Monsignor Jeffrey N. Steenson, a former Episcopal bishop turned Catholic.
Much of Cornelius' spiritual work will be focused in the Diocese of Buffalo in New York, where he will celebrate standard Catholic Masses and participate in other ministries at rural Catholic parishes.
Rev. Dennis J. Mancuso, a Catholic pastor of Allegany County who assisted Cornelius in his conversion to Catholicism, notes how Cornelius' ordination isn't a sign of the Vatican's relaxation towards celibacy, but rather an exception to the rule.

"This is by exception. It's not the norm," said Rev. Mancuso. "The way they've done it is in accord with tradition."
"This is something that's totally new to people here," Cornelius said of his being married. "Down in Texas, it wasn't quite so much an anomaly."
While the new rule from Pope Benedict XVI will allow certain married men to join the clergy, those who enter the process unmarried will not be permitted to marry after they're ordained.
Cornelius views his position as a benefit. "When they come to me and talk about their own families, there's a certain amount of reciprocity of emotion that goes along with it," he said.
A native of Bolivar, Cornelius was laid off twice prior to joining the priesthood, and has experienced the realities of marriage as well as bringing up three children - all experiences that bring a new level of communication to him and his parishioners.

Fall River Historical Society says image is only one known that gives view inside Maplecroft; exhibit featuring photo and other items will open Aug. 4, the 122nd anniversary of the Borden killings.
FALL RIVER — A rare photograph taken inside Lizzie Borden's French Street home will be displayed at the Fall River Historical Society on Monday, the 122nd anniversary of the Borden murders.
Society Curator Michael Martins said it is the only image taken inside the house that has surfaced to date.
"It's an original," Martins said. "It is extremely rare. It's another instance when Lizzie hired a photographer."
The only other known photo shot at Maplecroft was taken outside on the piazza and is of Lizzie and her dog on the back porch.
The recently acquired sepia-colored image that dates to Victorian times is being kept confidential until it is unveiled Monday. It is of a subject matter that was obviously dear to Lizzie.
The photo offers a small yet first-ever look inside the house, now known as Maplecroft, that Lizzie shared with her sister, Emma, after she was acquitted in the killings of her father and stepmother.
The image was taken by an unknown photographer and then framed by Edward S. Wright at 45 N. Main St., according to the now brown and thin paper label behind the original frame.
Martins said the photograph, donated to the society earlier this year, has been authenticated.
"It has to be what it is purported to be without a shadow of a doubt," Martins said.
Lizzie, around 1899, gifted the photograph to her personal maid Ida S. Carlson who was getting married to Bennett Peter Soderman. The details as to why Lizzie gave Carlson the photograph are lost to history.
When Carlson passed, the photograph was acquired by a relative, whose descendant donated it to the society.
"Once we uncover these items, we make them available publicly," Martins said.
The same person also donated Lizzie's 14-karat gold American Waltham Watch Co. watch in a hand-engraved case in 2009. The watch was bequeathed by Lizzie in 1927 to Carlson's daughter, Alice Isabel Soderman.
The pocketwatch will also be on display at the society, along with other items in the "Echoes of Lizzie" special exhibit running Monday through mid-October.
There will be rare and recently discovered personal and business correspondence related to Lizzie, including Borden investment materials, and a note from Emma Borden to a friend in 1907.
"It tells us what she was thinking at the time," Martins said.
Also on display will be original crime scene photographs and trial exhibits, a hatchet missing its handle that was found the day of the crime and other items.
"We try to debunk some of the myths and present the facts," Martins said.
Also starting Monday, raffle tickets will go on sale for a rare copy of "The Commonwealth of Massachusetts -vs- Lizzie A. Borden: The Knowlton Papers 1892-1893" by Michael Martins and Dennis Binette.
"The Knowlton Papers" was the first collection of primary-source documents on the Borden case to ever appear in print. The Fall River Historical Society published the groundbreaking work in 1994 in a limited edition of 1,000 copies.
Martins said it is among the most sought-after books on the Borden case and rarely, if ever, appears on the market in its original, unopened packaging.
This uncirculated copy is valued at $350. Raffle tickets are $5 each and can be purchased at the society or by calling 508-679-1071, extensions 1 or 2. The drawing will be held in October.
Tours of the society, at 451 Rock St., on Monday will be offered every 45 minutes from 9 a.m. to 3:15 p.m., except from noon to 1 p.m. Admission is $8 for adults and $6 for children.

I have to admit Santiago is not what I thought it would be, but I am slowly taking a liking to the city. Well, things would be fantastic if only I had a job. I've tried a few of the bigger institutes but they have made it clear that a visa is necessary. So I was wondering what places would hire someone with an American passport. I'm sure they're out there. But it would save me a lot of trouble knowing ahead of time which institutes would take in person without a visa like me. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Israeli windsurfer Lee Korzits secured a 2012 Olympic spot for herself by taking first place in the women's RS:X race at the ISAF Sailing World Cup in Cadiz, Spain, earlier this week.
It was the last of four qualifying races the 28-year-old from Michmoret had to win in order to get her second shot at the Olympics. She'd competed in the 2004 Athens Games, after becoming the world's youngest wind-surfing champ in 2003. She took that title again in December at Perth, Australia, and now again in Spain.
Korzits told ISRAEL21c that in her Mediterranean coastal hometown, learning to windsurf is as common as learning to ride a bike. The physically demanding sport combines elements of sailing and surfing with gymnastic jumps, loops and spins.
At Cadiz, Korzits led throughout the competition, winning four sails. The final race was canceled due to poor weather conditions. Her win comes with a purse of NIS 100,000 (about $27,000) to be shared with her coach.
Will Korzits follow the trail blazed by Israeli windsurfer Gal Fridman, who won the bronze medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and the gold at the 2004 Games? Stay tuned for the London Games this summer.

Boy was briefly breast-fed by other mom.
Officials at a Minneapolis hospital are trying to figure out how a newborn baby boy was mistakenly given to the wrong mother and briefly breast-fed.
The mix-up happened Wednesday at Abbott Northwestern Hospital.
Hospital spokeswoman Gloria O'Connell tells the Star Tribune (http://bit.ly/REARty) it's apparently the first time it's ever happened at Abbott.
O'Connell declined to release any details because of patient confidentiality. But she calls it "very serious business" and promises "there will be consequences."
All newborns and mothers at Abbott are given matching hospital ID bracelets. The hospital spokeswoman says staff members are supposed to routinely check that the IDs match "at every step" but "apparently somebody didn't follow procedure."

WASHINGTON (AP) - Four national retailers have agreed to recall more than 150,000 Nap Nanny baby recliners after at least five infant deaths and dozens of reports of children nearly falling out of the recliners.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the four retailers - Amazon.com, Buy Buy Baby, Diapers.com and Toys R Us/Babies R Us - agreed to voluntarily participate in the recall of the Nap Nanny because its manufacturer is unable or unwilling to participate. The manufacturer, Baby Matters LLC of Berwyn, Pa., told The Associated Press that it had gone out of business.
CPSC is warning that the Nap Nanny contains dangerous defects in its design, warnings and instructions. The recall covers Nap Nanny Generations One and Two, and the Chill model infant recliners sold between 2009 and 2012.

Our Birthday Weaning
Karen Urick
Lee's Summit MO USA
From NEW BEGINNINGS, Vol. 25 No. 4, 2008, pp. 25-26
Today is my 37th birthday and what a gift I got -- my son's last precious nursing! My son, Miles, and I decided weeks ago to say goodbye to mommy milk once he had his fourth birthday party. His birthday was five days ago.
Miles woke up super early today with a frown on his face. "Mommy, I don't want the milk to go away," he said with tears. Boy, did my heart break. The idea of complete weaning had been making him (and me) anxious for a few days now. He nursed for 45 minutes and I didn't watch TV or read, nor did I let my thoughts wander as I usually did. I wanted to keep that moment of time in my memory forever.
Mornings were really his favorite nursing times. We have been nursing only in the mornings for the past few weeks to help cut back. Later today is his birthday party so it really seems like he is four now. My husband and I have been telling Miles over and over again that we are so proud of him and that he will be able to do many things now that he is four.
I know Miles would have continued nursing longer if I hadn't gently pushed weaning. I have been a breastfeeding mother for years now and I am so proud of myself and of my body's ability to have nourished and nurtured both our sons this way. I hope this adjustment goes well for my body and my emotions. Mostly I hope that Miles isn't sad that we aren't nursing any more.
I hear many weaning stories and they are all different. Diane Bengson's book, How Weaning Happens, published by LLLI, was extremely helpful to me during this transition and I felt our strategy was the best for us. I am sad that this part of my life is over, that I will not have more children, and that these wonderful years have flown by. I am also extremely grateful to have found La League League, where I have learned to follow my instincts, and to my husband, who is my partner in this parenting journey.
I read once that most mothers would nurse their babies for years if only our culture and other people would not tell them it's unnatural to continue into and beyond toddlerhood. I completely agree with this. I am so glad that I listened to what my sons were telling me and not to what others were telling me, and that I followed their cues. Nursing has been one of the most simple and special times of motherhood for me, even though I never dreamed I would nurse for this long.
Miles, I love you so much! Even though we aren't nursing any more, I will still be your mommy and we can still cuddle any time!
I want to say thank you to LLL members and New Beginnings readers for all you have done to support me and other mothers over the years with your stories, your examples, and your understanding of this remarkable breastfeeding relationship. On to our next adventure!

At IGN, we're a lot of things. Nerds, douches, Achievement whores, over-raters, under-raters, and so much more, but at our core, we are gamers. Each and every one of us has a brain filled with cherished memories that revolve around our hobby. Unwrapping a Nintendo Entertainment System on Christmas morning, beating Streets of Rage with a pal, desperately trying to get Lara Croft's nude code to work – you get the idea. Before all of us who lived the adventure drift into a senile state and forget, IGN thought it would assemble those stories in an ongoing feature called "Gamer Memories."
Here, an editor will walk you through one of his or her favorite memories involving a controller, some kind of dance pad, or (more generally) a memory that was a defining experience for the editor's time with games. On tap for this installment? Why, it's none other than Levi Buchanan, IGN's expert on all things retro, iPhone and beard-related.
I do not subscribe to the adage that things happen for a reason. Things happen and how you react to them is what shapes you. How I got into videogames – and I mean into videogames – is a direct reaction to something well beyond my control: a birth defect that damn near killed me. When I was eight weeks old, my internal organs started to shut down due to a severe problem with a valve inside my heart. Surgeons were able to temporarily fix the defect by opening up this faulty valve, but as a result of both their caution and my own energy levels, I spent a lot of time inside. And when I did play outside, it was usually slower activities like playing in my sandbox.
As an "indoors" kid, I spent a lot of time reading and playing videogames. I was fortunate that in the late '70s, videogames were a family activity (much like they are again now after two decades of being pushed into niche audiences) and as such, my entire family played Atari 2600 together. One of my earliest memories is playing Warlords on the 2600 and my dad absolutely laying everybody else's fortress to waste until my mother quietly said something to him. Magically, my brother and I started doing a little better.
Even as other members of my family peeled away from videogames, I stayed obsessed – and that has not waned one iota since Warlords. When the industry collapsed under the weight of some dreadful games disappointing that wider audience (E.T., Pac-Man), I remained a true believer. In addition to playing Atari 2600 and Colecovision, I also dove into the VIC-20 and Commodore 64. I dropped dozens of hours into Mail Order Monsters, thumbed the manuals of Imagic's Atari 2600 games until the pages ripped, and hung the cloth maps provided in early role-playing games.
But this isn't about drawing up lists of games played and consoles owned. The point is how the circumstances of my childhood drove me into videogames, how videogames were there for me at critical points in my life, and how my love for gaming has shaped who I am now.
Wait. Now how have videogames been there for me? In 1988, I was exhausted. I was tired all of the time. My yearly heart clinic revealed that following a growth spurt, the defective valve did not keep up with the rest of my body. One of the three flaps in a valve that pumped blood to an upper chamber of the heart was unable to close, allowing blood to trickle back down into a lower chamber. Over time, this blood was enlarging the heart and dangerously close to causing permanent and potentially catastrophic damage. And so I had to return to the hospital for valve replacement surgery. Obviously, it was a success. I still have that same valve in my body right now.
Following the valve replacement surgery, I had to spend two weeks in the hospital for monitored recovery. I have no idea what I would have done without the children's ward's NES and a copy of Super Mario Bros. 2. Unable to get up and move around, I was able to escape into Mario's dream world. It made that hospital stay tolerable. Not only did nurses regularly wheel the NES into my room, but I was also given an issue of Nintendo Power to flip through. (I still have that issue of Nintendo Power with the clay scene from Super Mario Bros. 2 on the cover in a box. It remains a personal treasure.) I cannot possibly express to you what Super Mario Bros. 2 means to me because of that hospital stay. It was there for me when I desperately needed that comfort and escape.
This only strengthened my appreciation for videogames. These are not time-wasters. In the right circumstances, they are essential. They are incredible pieces of entertainment. Videogames fire the imagination – they certainly did in my situation. In addition to videogames and film, I have another great passion: writing. In my free time, I (attempt to) write scripts and books. This interest was stoked by videogames. When I was a kid, I wrote manuals for imaginary videogames. I drew little screenshots with blocky sprites. It was a lot of fun, and I still have some of them. But then I discovered Alex Kidd in Miracle World for the SEGA Master System. It changed my life. Seriously.
Writing a fake manual for an Alex Kidd sequel wasn't enough for me. I started writing a side story for Alex Kidd – basically, fan fiction. My story wasn't that great, but the process of writing was so enjoyable that I kept writing. And I've been writing for the last two decades, both professionally and personally. That's because of a videogame, something that is supposed to be a time sink or an unnecessary distraction. If, one day, I am ever so fortunate to sell a script or a book, I will owe it all to that one videogame and a family that saw how videogames affected me, embraced it, and supported me.

468: Fetishes
Title text: They eventually resolved this self-reference, but Cantor's 'everything-in-the-fetish-book-twice' parties finally sunk the idea.
Bertrand Russell and Alfred North Whitehead co-wrote the Principia Mathematica, with the intention of cataloging all of mathematics and ridding it of contradiction and self-reference. Kurt Gödel later showed that such a system is impossible, and that any system of axioms (complex enough to represent arithmetic) is incomplete.
Here, Russell and Whitehead are perusing a more salacious, but no less comprehensive, task: compiling a list of all sexual fetishes. When Gödel says he likes "anything not on your list," Russel and Whitehead have no way to complete their list. Whatever they leave off should be on the list, as long as it's off the list. This paradox is essentially the same as the one that doomed the Principia.
In the title text, Georg Cantor is the inventor of set theory. If you have a fetish for doing everything in the book twice, then that belongs in the book, which you then have to do once more, which adds another item to the book ad infinitum. Russel and Whitehead finally acknowledge their defeat.
There is a fetish roadmap by Katharine Gates, author of Deviant Desires and DeviantDesires.com.
An earlier comic also refers to Kurt Gödel: 24: Godel, Escher, Kurt Halsey.
- [Caption above the panel:]
- Author Katharine Gates recently attempted to make a chart of all sexual fetishes.
- Little did she know that Russel and Whitehead had already failed at this same task.
- [Russel, with long hair, and Whitehead are standing with Gödel (the last two are both Cueball-like), Russel holding a clipboard and smoking a pipe.
- Gödel is holding his chin with his right hand as he ponders the question.]
- Russel: Hey, Gödel — we're compiling a comprehensive list of fetishes. What turns you on?
- Gödel: Anything not on your list.
- Russel: Uh…hm.

I should point out that [1] is "The set of all sets that do not contain themselves"- if it does not contain itself, then it must contain itself; but since it now contains itself, it cannot. Although this doesn't seem to have an obvious parallel in the comic, Russell probably should've known better than to create a comprehensive list of anything. --Someone Else 37 (talk) 04:17, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
