"What happens when anyone can develop and publish an application to the Android Market? A 472% increase in Android malware samples since July 2011." A study by The Global Threat Center over at Juniper Networks details mobile attacks that are increasing both in numbers and sophistication. This contrasts to the iPhone, more secure in part due to Apple's proprietary hold over the platform through its review process.

Wreck sends two to hospital
An accident involving two Buicks sent an adult and a child to the hospital Thursday morning.
The vehicles collided at around 9:08 a.m. Thursday at the intersection of N.C. 11 and Dunn Road in Kinston.
A light blue Buick was heading northbound on N.C. 11 when a silver Buick pulled into the northbound lanes from Dunn Road, attempting to cross the median and turn southbound, according to Kinston Department of Public Safety Officer Chuck Coulombe.
�Two were taken to the hospital � one adult driver, then there was a little kid who was taken, just for precautionary reasons,� Coulombe said. �He was checked out at the scene, but there were no injuries. He was all right.�
The driver of the light blue Buick, Carol Ann Davis, 31, of Kinston, was transported to Lenoir Memorial Hospital by Lenoir County EMS. Paramedics treated and released at the scene the driver of the silver Buick, Rosie Outlaw, 71, of Kinston.
Coulombe cited Outlaw for an unsafe moving violation.

Haku would have won, but he was too kind. If he aimed for vital spots, Naruto and Sasuke would both be dead. The next step would have been to kill Kakashi and I think Kakashi would be dead aswell.
He shouldn't have died. I want Haku Shippuuden.

Hm. Plenty of people died in Shippuuden. If anything, it's already a lot darker than part 1. Part 2 gets darker. If there's another timeskip, I expect Kishi to start killing characters left and right.

Who shouldn't have died?
Nobody. This isnt a love story, its a ninja story. Nobody is exempted from dying. Good guys or bad guys, as long as its not a stupid death, some death are good to push other characters development. Sad, yes. I wheep my tears over Sandaime's and Asuma and manga only (you know who) but their death spurs those characters related to them, so its a good death.

To be honest, my head is still reeling from the many recent deaths in the Naruto world. Unfortunately, I could not discuss them here since they are major spoilers. Its still a bit difficult for me to accept that some of my beloved Naruto characters are now dead. I may or may not agree with what Kishimoto did but I believe he has a purpose.
Take the sandaime hokage, Sarutobi-samas death for example. He died to protect Konohagakure, the same way all the other hokages did before him. His death was a heroic one but it also had a purpose for the story. He needed to die to make way for a new hokage and a new era for Konohagakure. His death allowed the introduction of Tsunade and the legendary Sannin. Also, it allowed us to see what kind of jutsu Minato used to seal the kyuubi, and his fight with Orochimaru allowed us to see his strengths as a shinobi as well as the power of the Senju brothers, the two hokages who came before him. And because of that fight, we came to understand why Sarutobi was called The Professor and why he was eventually chosen as the sandaime hokage. That fight is one for the books along with the three-way battle between the Sannin and the Sasuke-Naruto duel in the Sasuke retrieval arc.
Its the same with the other deaths in Naruto, especially the ones that happened recently. They all have their purposes and soon we will understand why Kishimoto did what he did. Kishimoto is one of the most brilliant manga-kas to date, I trust his plans for this series. I only wish that he would consider ending it soon. The series have been running for almost ten years now, personally Im getting tired of buying the mangas and the dvds, not to mention its leaving me broke!

Kishimoto should die~! For destroying this manga.
Seriously though, the death was well done in the Naruto manga was Sandaime Hokage's sacrifice. An excellent fight scene and cool jutsu. In the anime it was laborious they way they dragged it on.
I felt Sasori probably had a bit more in him as a characer but his death was always going to come about.
Haku's death was very touching as well, especially how Zabusa was turned around and realised how he lost someone special. A bit weird because of the implied gay love but well done.

These days your kid's endless questions may well turn toward the election, what with all the TV ads and grown-ups arguing (er, debating). To bring the state of the union down to a level he'll get, we turned to Julian Wright, chairman of GenerationNation, a civics-education organization for kids.
Plus: How Parents are Voting in the 2012 Election
"Why do you vote?" "Because the person who wins gets to make important decisions for our family and everyone in the U.S. If someone else got to say what time you go to bed, or what you eat for snack, you would want to pick that person, right?"
"What does the President do?" "The President is in charge of our country, just like I'm in charge of our home."
"Why do all those TV commercials sound so mean?" "You know how sometimes you feel like knocking down someone else's tower? Grown-ups get excited about which person will be the best president, so sometimes they knock the other candidate down, but that's not the right thing to do."
"Who gets to vote?" "Everyone in the country once they turn 18!"
For more hilarious political quips from kids, watch our funny video on what kids think of the election, politics and who the president is!

Hello everyone, I'm trying to create a hand with a basic geometric shapes that will do some transformations hierarchically. So rotation is working well but the translation is te problem. When I change the camera position the translation stay the same. Example, if I have a camera with the position (0,0,-10) looking at the origin and a cube at the origin and a cylider with a translation of (.5,0,0) from the cube. OpenGL manages the view with the positions from -1 to 1 right? If I do this translation my cylinder center will be at the point X = 0.5 of the screen and it's wrong, It's was to be at the point X = 0.5 in world coordinate because if I change the cam postion to (0,0,-30) the cyliner still stay on the position X = 0.5 of view and the translation seens bigger than it should be.
What I do:
Code :MVP = cam.matrix() * cube.getTransformationsMatrix() ; glUniformMatrix4fv(MVPMatrix, 1, GL_TRUE, &MVP[0][0]); cube.render(GL_LINES); cylinder.translate(glm::vec3(0.0,.5,0.0)); MVP = cam.matrix() * cylinder.getTransformationsMatrix() ; glUniformMatrix4fv(MVPMatrix, 1, GL_TRUE, &MVP[0][0]); cylinder.render(GL_TRIANGLES);
where matrix() return Projection * View and a object function getTransformationMatrix() returns this:
Code :glm::mat4 sgl::Object::getTransformationsMatrix(){ if(this->father == NULL){ //cout<<"has no father"<<endl; return this->rotateMatrix * this->translateMatrix; } else{ //cout<<"has a father"<<endl; return this->rotateMatrix * this->translateMatrix * this->father->getTransformationsMatrix(); } }

Kanye West Pens Apology Song For Taylor Swift
It's been an entire year since Kanye West ruined Taylor Swift's win for "Best Female Video" at the 2009 MTV VMAs.
Kanye already apologized on his blog but he also wrote an apology song too!
"I wrote a song for Taylor Swift that's so beautiful and I want her to have it," Kanye wrote on his Twitter. "If she won't take it then I'll perform it for her."
He added, "She had nothing to do with my issues with award shows. She had no idea what hit her. She's just a lil girl with dreams like the rest of us. She deserves the apology more than anyone…
When I woke up from the crazy nightmare I looked in the mirror and said GROW UP KANYE … I take the responsibility for my actions. I am not a bad person. Even in that moment I was only trying to do good but people don't always need my help. Beyonce didn't need that. MTV didn't need that and Taylor and her family friends and fans definitely didn't want or need that.
"I've hurt, I've bled, I've learned. I only want to do good. I am passionate I am human I am real. I wish I could meet every hater. I wish I could talk to every hater face to face and change there a opinion of me one conversation at a time. I wish they all knew how much I really cared about music and pop culture and art and peoples feelings. I wish they could accept that I've grown and only want to do good for the world. I want to help as many people as I can. I want to help starting with the music and ending with the smile. I want to win there hearts back so I can continue to bring my take on culture to the masses with a clean opinion."
"It starts with this…" Kanye ended. "I'm sorry Taylor."
DO YOU THINK Taylor will accept Kanye's song??

Baby V's Pink Peony Nursery
Name: "Baby V"
Location: United States
We're expecting a little girl this month! We finally got her nursery all put together, and we love it. It's sunny, colorful, and welcoming. We wanted to keep all of the major purchases gender-neutral so we can use them again in the future or pass them along as hand-me-downs, so decided to make the main "girly" part of the room the wall color.
I chose Martha Stewart's "Peony" for three of the walls, and her "Pink Sea Salt" for the last wall. I've always admired this nursery on Kate's Pencil Box and wanted to do something similar – a hand-painted mural of peonies that fill the room with color and movement but can live on past the newborn stage.
For most everything else, we chose neutral grays, tans, and whites for our color palette. A white crib (Babies R Us), chair (Ikea), curtains (World Market) and feminine ceiling lamp (also Ikea) set the base. The dresser was a lucky find from mom's basement. The patterned rug from Urban Outfitters and the gray pouf from Target add some texture. The bookshelves (Ikea) display the array of books we've collected from friends. The prints are all in white Ikea frames so they can live on the wall together nicely (Small Adventure on Etsy, Urban Outfitters, Rifle Paper Co calendar pages, The Animal Print Shop). The bunny lamp was a steal at Anthropologie (perfect sale-room timing!) and the mobile, my favorite thing in the room, is from Bondurant Mountain Art on Etsy. The bunny thing just kind of happened, and I think they work nicely with the coral color and peonies.
Thanks, Hannah! Readers, visit Hannah at her graphic design site and blog.

SAN FRANCISCO — The sound system was on the fritz in Russian technology billionaire Yuri Milner's $100-million, 30,000-square-foot mansion in Silicon Valley.
Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres had been served. The guests had taken their seats in Milner's home theater. And Ashton Kutcher was ready to screen "Jobs," the new film in which he plays the late chief executive and co-founder of Apple. The audience was a who's who of the technology industry, including venture capitalists John Doerr and Vinod Khosla.
Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk was the one who rolled up his sleeves and fixed the audio. On the screen, Kutcher appeared as a young Jobs in the early and troubled years of his journey from his LSD-laced days at Reed College in Portland, Ore., to the formation of Apple, his ouster and victorious return.
PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments
"I can't think of a more skeptical audience than Silicon Valley when it comes to a movie about Steve Jobs," said Nirav Tolia, chief executive of the social network Nextdoor.
Film industry observers were skeptical too. Vanity Fair's post announcing Kutcher's role was titled "How to Handle the News of Ashton Kutcher Being Cast as Steve Jobs Without Giving Up on Hollywood."
But when the lights came up at Milner's house, Kutcher found himself before an appreciative audience. At one point, as he and costar Josh Gad took questions, Kutcher choked up as he spoke about how deeply personal the role was for him.
"Of all people," Tolia said, "Ashton could do it because he is one of us."
The Hollywood heartthrob not only plays dotcom billionaire Walden Schmidt on CBS' "Two and a Half Men" but he is also co-founder with Madonna manager Guy Oseary and supermarket magnate Ron Burkle of the venture capital fund A-Grade Investments.
In taking on the role of Jobs, Kutcher didn't have to "learn how to channel being an entrepreneur," said Tolia, whose Nextdoor network is one of Kutcher's investments. "Acting is his vocation. Technology is his avocation."
"The role was the perfect convergence of my craft and my interests," Kutcher said.
As soon as he heard about the part — even before he met with director Joshua Michael Stern — Kutcher started preparing to play Jobs.
OBITUARY: Steve Jobs dies at 65 | Full coverage
"When I read the script, the idea of someone playing him who maybe didn't care made me just want to jump at the role," Kutcher said. "I knew it was going to take a while to figure out who this guy was, where he was coming from, what made him tick. I figured if I started studying who he was, the worst thing that could happen is that I would learn a lot about Steve Jobs."
By the time Stern walked into Kutcher's Los Angeles home for their first meeting, the actor had already begun to subtly master Jobs' speech patterns and hand gestures, even the slope of his back and the way he walked by bouncing on his toes.
"Without being showy," said Stern, who directed "Neverwas" and "Swing Vote," "he was becoming the man."
Stern hopes Kutcher's star power will help the independent "Jobs" stand out among summer blockbusters when it opens Aug. 16 — and in comparison to Aaron Sorkin's still-uncast big-budget adaptation for Sony of Walter Isaacson's biography "Steve Jobs."

Kutcher, who bears an uncanny resemblance to a young Jobs, says he was determined to understand Jobs' flashes of genius and his stubborn, uncompromising nature.
"I have a lot of friends and colleagues in the tech space and a lot who knew Steve," Kutcher said. "I wanted them to feel like what was being represented was true to them."
Three months of exhaustive research helped Kutcher get inside the head of a man he never met. Or it could be that Jobs got inside his.
At a recent screening in San Francisco, Kutcher passionately defended Jobs' controversial decision not to give stock options to some of the earliest Apple employees who had not lived up to his expectations.
"I think Steve was extraordinarily loyal to people he felt were loyal to him," said Kutcher, who called Jobs this generation's Leonardo da Vinci.
PHOTOS: Remembering Steve Jobs
Though the film received tepid reviews after premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in January and has been criticized for giving too much credit to Jobs for Steve Wozniak's vision for the personal computer, Kutcher has been praised for moments in which he seemed to embody Jobs — staring himself down in the mirror after denying paternity of his child or standing triumphantly on the floor of the West Coast Computer Faire with Wozniak to unveil the Apple II.
Even when he's showing Jobs at his most callous, Kutcher humanizes the man who died from complications of pancreatic cancer in 2011.
"There were these inconsistencies in his behavior," Kutcher said. "I wanted to figure out why he made these choices. Why this brilliant man did not seek medical treatment for something he knew would be fatal. Why this guy who was so brilliant would use such brute verbal force to make changes."
He immersed himself in Jobs' spiritual beliefs with Paramahansa Yogananda's "Autobiography of a Yogi" and Ram Dass' "Be Here Now" and in his musical influences by listening to Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. He studied Thomas Edison and Ansel Adams.
TIMELINE: The life and work of Steve Jobs
For scenes set in the garage of Jobs' childhood home in Los Altos, Kutcher read up on integrated circuit design. When driving in his car and as he fell asleep at night, Kutcher played some 100 hours of every Jobs interview and speech he could find.
That attention to detail extended to Kutcher's physical appearance in the film. Skeletally thin, the actor landed in the hospital for two days after losing 20 pounds on the fruitarian diet Jobs followed.
But Kutcher gained the most insight into Jobs by meeting some of the people who knew him best.
"I got to meet Avie Tevanian," Kutcher said with a tone of awe about the former Apple software wizard. "That's sick."
Kutcher also met computing pioneer Alan Kay of Xerox PARC fame.
"I gave Ashton a picture of the real Steve from the point of view of someone who knew him for many years, who talked with him every few months on the phone," Kay said. "Steve was not an idol or a myth or a god."
Kutcher said Kay recalled the anguish Jobs felt over sharp criticism of the Macintosh.
PHOTOS: Steve Jobs | 1955 - 2011
"Alan said to him, 'Steve, the only reason they are criticizing the Macintosh is that you built a personal computer that is good enough for people to criticize,'" Kutcher said. "Since Steve was adopted, he felt like he was rejected by his birth parents. He filled that hole by building beautiful things people would appreciate. When they rejected the products, they were rejecting him."
Gad, who plays Wozniak, said he'll never forget the first time he talked with Kutcher over Skype and encountered his encyclopedic Jobs knowledge.
"He knew everything not only about Jobs but could literally rattle off the tiniest detail about Steve Wozniak as well," Gad said. "I hung up with him and ordered every piece of literature and watched every single video I could like a student who has to cram for the SATs the night before the exam."
One day, Kutcher walked onto the set and squinted at a circuit board in the back of the room.
"'This wouldn't be invented for two more years,'" Gad recalled Kutcher saying. "That attention to the tiniest detail informed the entire shoot."
Technology has always held a fascination for Kutcher, who was raised on an Iowa farm. In college, while studying biochemical engineering, he started programming.
He took a detour into modeling and acting after being spotted by a talent scout and dropping out of college at age 19.
OBITUARY: Steve Jobs dies at 65 | Full coverage
An early adopter of technology, Kutcher even sported a Motorola two-way pager back in the day. Soon he was experimenting with the Internet. In 2000, he spent hours in AOL chat rooms to get people talking about his film "Dude, Where's My Car?"
Kutcher was intrigued by the possibility of Internet video long before streaming was possible, and his production company explored creating video for the instant messenger program AIM. The prescient idea that people would want to share snippets of video with their friends was close to what people now do every day on Facebook and Twitter.
Kutcher's first tech forays, the Internet calling service Ooma (which now has a new management team) and the animated Web comedy series "Blah Girls," lost money. But he embraced Twitter long before it was cool, becoming the first to reach 1 million followers on the service. And he started investing in up-and-coming consumer Internet companies — question-and-answer service Quora, music streaming service Spotify, car service Uber.
Kutcher's growing business savvy impressed prominent investor Marc Andreessen, who said he helped Kutcher invest in Skype, which later sold for $8.5 billion.
Elliot Cohen, founder and chief executive of CityMaps.com, says Kutcher is more hands on than most investors. He gets emails at all hours from Kutcher about ways to improve its social mapping product.
"He always knows exactly where we are in our build cycle," Cohen said.
"Steve Jobs is an incredible case study for building a great business. He made mistakes, but he did an extraordinary amount of things right," Kutcher said. "I try to look at those ideals he had that were extremely positive: simplicity, innovation, focus and brutal honesty, and I try to encourage entrepreneurs around those ideals."
Kutcher now is on the lookout for the next Steve Jobs and just hopes he's smart enough to bankroll him or her.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Organizers of an event promoting peace in the region were forced to cancel what they had titled the "Bethlehem Walk" after local Palestinians strongly rejected the participation of Israeli Jews.
The event, which was scheduled for Friday, was to be a quiet march through the streets of Bethlehem in an effort to encourage "change and acknowledge basic common grounds and sow the seeds of understanding and acceptance."
In their public invitation, the organizers suggested that by walking quietly through the streets of the historic city, participants would "develop calm, balance and confidence when faced with the challenges of reality."
But Palestinian activists were outraged that Israeli Jews were actually going to be part of the march, and insisted that the Jewish presence would "desecrate our holy city and sites," according to a report in The Jerusalem Post.
The Palestinian activists said the Bethlehem Walk had become a medium for "normalization" with Israel and the Jews, which they strongly oppose.
The incident is a sad reminder that while there are some on both sides who truly seek peace and coexistence, the bulk of Palestinian youth have been educated to hate Israel and to view its Jewish citizens as bloodthirsty usurpers. As those youth reach adulthood, they have formed a new generation with which reaching a genuine peace will all but impossible.

I will admit that I hadn't heard of alt-J until the band won the 2012 Mercury Prize for their album An Awesome Wave. With the win, the four-piece band, who named themselves after the Macintosh keyboard shortcut for the delta symbol, joins the ranks of such notable past winners as PJ Harvey, the xx, Arctic Monkeys, and Pulp. Not bad company for a group who released their genre-spanning debut in May 2012. In the middle of their US tour, alt-J's Thom Green stopped by Turntable to talk about Jessie Ware, musical taste, and the fact that he has never heard a Prince song. Don't worry, we take care of it.
Melissa Locker started playing "Want You Back" by Nite Jewel
STEREOGUM: Hi! Since time is limited I'm just going to jump right in.
alt-J: Sure
STEREOGUM: Were you surprised to win the Mercury Prize? You had some stiff competition!
alt-J: We were surprised, yeah, I honestly didn't think we would. After seeing the performances from the other nominees that night I thought anyone could win, which actually made it easier to live with, if everyone deserved it.
STEREOGUM: That's a nice way to look at it. Are you at all worried that Jessie Ware won't date you now after you beat her?
alt-J started playing "Pulse 80's" by Mensah
alt-J: Haha, i was hoping I'd have more chance now!
STEREOGUM: I guess it depends on her self-esteem.
alt-J: True.
STEREOGUM: Have you been surprised the success of your album?
alt-J: Yeah, initially we never expected for it to do this well, we just hoped that people heard it. It's gone further than any of us expected. There doesn't seem to be any limit at the moment it's weird
STEREOGUM: It's a bit surprising that people heard it what with naming yourselves something that is practically un-Google-able. Although winning the Mercury Prize probably helped your Google rankings.
alt-J: Yeah, true, it seems to have been through a lot of word of mouth that started things off
STEREOGUM: How did you get your start?
alt-J: We were friends for about a year before we started playing music together, it started as just something to have a bit of fun with and then we gradually took it more seriously we knew we had something our friends seemed to like it a lot very early on
Melissa Locker started playing "Better Off" by Haim
STEREOGUM: Your music is generally pretty hard to define genre-wise. Do you think that makes it more accessible?
alt-J: I think in a way it does, it's not something people are familar with but without being so weird it turns people off, it still has a sense of pop song writing to it which people recognise but also has something weird that people want more of. I think it's a good combination, not something we actively tried to do though. We're just lucky it worked out like that. To us it's just the music we write
STEREOGUM: Is it just a style you all naturally gravitated towards when you started out?
alt-J: Yeah completely, we just played together and played what we wanted to hear. It was very minimal to begin with. All acoustic.
STEREOGUM: Did you all listen to similar music?
alt-J started playing "Missing You" by John Talabot
STEREOGUM: Oh I thought this was "Missing You" by John Waite and I got very excited. I probably shouldn't admit that.
alt-J: We actually have different tastes between us. Which is why I think our music sounds so unrecogniseable.
STEREOGUM: Who has the worst taste in music?
alt-J: Haha, well, I like it all, but I really don't like a lot of indie music which Gus listens to. Like The Smiths. I'm very picky with music
STEREOGUM: So you don't like The Smiths? Because I had four Smiths' songs queued up
alt-J: Yeah it does nothing for me. Haha, shit.
STEREOGUM: So what do you listen to?
alt-J: At the moment I listen to a lot of dub step / trap music
STEREOGUM: I am noticing that in your song choices
alt-J: Mostly from soundcloud as it's usually free downloads
Melissa Locker started playing "One Day" by Sharon Van Etten
alt-J: I listen to a lot of music so I can afford to be picky. Anything that has a hard beat
STEREOGUM: You can also afford it because you get free downloads. So I'm guessing Sharon Van Etten isn't doing it for you?
alt-J: Absolutely not, sorry
STEREOGUM: Ha! SKIPPING SONG NOW
alt-J started playing "Hustle Bones" by Death Grips
alt-J: I don't not like it, I just wouldn't ever choose it
STEREOGUM: Hahaha. Do you know the game Fuck/Marry/Kill?
alt-J: I don't….
STEREOGUM: I'm going to name three bands and you have to choose who you would fuck, marry or kill. I'll stick to bands you know. Ready?
alt-J: Oohhh ok yeah I thought you meant the rapper The Game, I thought that must be an album haha.
Cool yeah
STEREOGUM: Haha. I never joke about The Game. Okay here: The Wanted/One Direction/ Ed Sheeran
Melissa Locker started playing "Beez In The Trap (Feat. 2 Chainz)" by Nicki Minaj
alt-J: Christ ok. I'd marry Ed Sheeran because he seems to be the most normal and grounded, I don't know the difference between The Wanted and One Direction so I'd kill them both
STEREOGUM: Fair enough. You've toured with Ghostpoet and Wild Beasts. Who else would you like to tour with?
alt-J: I'd love to tour with Hot Chip just so I could hang out and talk about music with them. I think I could learn a lot from them
STEREOGUM: Like how to get down with Prince?
alt-J: I've never listened to Prince
STEREOGUM: Never?
alt-J: Never. I've never heard an entire Prince song
STEREOGUM: I'm not sure what to say to that. Is he just not as popular or ubiquitous in the UK as he is here?
alt-J started playing "In Limbo" by Radiohead
alt-J: I don't know, I've just never come across it, anywhere. I know people who like him but it never comes up
STEREOGUM: I am going to fix this in the next three minutes
alt-J: ok
STEREOGUM: I feel like it's my responsibility now. But, while we're listening to them, you've been compared to Radiohead a few times. Do you feel that is apt? Do you count them as one of your influences?
alt-J: I don't think it's appropriate when people say we're the next Radiohead. It's flattering as they are one band that the four of us like
STEREOGUM: Is Radiohead the only band you all have in common?
Melissa Locker started playing "Kiss" by Prince
alt-J: I don't know if they've been an influence musically but in terms of there career we're very inspired by them. We like an artist called Princess Chelsea. I'll play it next
STEREOGUM: So Radiohead and Princess Chelsea are the unifying factors of the alt-J sound?
alt-J: We'd not heard of PC until after we wrote our album, but yeah
STEREOGUM: So you've now heard half of a Prince song.
When we reach the end I'm going to ask you about it.
alt-J: ok cool
STEREOGUM: Has winning the Mercury Prize changed your day-to-day life at all?
alt-J started playing "The Cigarette Duet" by Princess Chelsea
alt-J: In some ways, when we're playing a show we seem to be more prominent in the room, that sounds weird, I mean whenever we arrive somewhere you can often sense people stopping what they're doing and looking. We have better dressing rooms / riders
STEREOGUM: What's in your rider?
alt-J: A lot of fruit, sandwich material, whiskey, ale, honey, lemon, coffee, tea, towels, clean socks, 1 guardian newspaper, supermalt, I need to start requesting more carbs. A lot of general stuff and a couple more specific things.
STEREOGUM: Can you get Supermalt in the US?
alt-J: I'm not sure, it may be called something else. It wasn't on any of our riders here, so maybe not
STEREOGUM: Oh, are you working on a new album yet?
alt-J: Not yet, we don't have time
STEREOGUM: I know you have to go so the last question is: what did you think of Prince?
Melissa Locker started playing "Are You Really On Drugs?" by The Clean
alt-J: It was cool, I can see why people like it
STEREOGUM: I am considering that a victory. And I will send you a mix tape.
alt-J: Please don't
STEREOGUM: Hahaha. Well thanks so much for chatting with me
alt-J: Thanks for having me
I'd never used this site before it's cool.
alt-J's Awesome Wave is out via Canvasback.

Italy has pasta, Spain paella, America has burgers and France has escargot. So what about Ireland?
Aside from Irish stew (which has always been a hit), our island's food hasn't exactly been famous throughout the world. Now, though, the island's smartest eateries and best chefs are rediscovering Ireland's culinary heritage, with respected artisan producers are turning out everything from award-winning black pudding (Kanturks) to acclaimed raw milk cheese (Durrus).
The result? Our produce is hitting the shelves in some of the world's most salubrious delis and department stores (Fortnum & Mason in London; Dean & Delucca in New York), and a wave of Irish chefs are reawakening traditional recipes.
"In recent years there has been a renaissance on the Irish food scene," famous Irish chef Darina Allen told the Irish Independent newspaper. "Irish chefs have become more adventurous and many have a greater appreciation of quality Irish produce, giving them the confidence to serve Irish food proudly."
Foods that have been ignored for years are being revived and served up in hip cafés and restaurants all over the island, with regional specialities.
You can try a "blaa" (a soft white roll) in Waterford; tuck into an Ulster fry for breakfast in Belfast; snack on dulse (salty seaweed) in coastal areas; or discover your adventurous side with some fried Lough Neagh eel. Then there's soda bread, potato farls, Irish stew, crab claws and seafood chowder. And that's not forgetting the potato…
"People sometimes make fun of the fact that we are still so obsessed with the potato," says chef Liz Moore, formerly of Belle Isle Cookery School in Fermanagh. "But look at the amount of amazing dishes that are derived from it: champ (oniony, buttery, pure comfort food), fadge (potato cakes), boxty, colcannon and more. There are so many versions of soda and wheaten breads that cooks have written volumes of cookery books about it."

Pop into any café, restaurant or pub and you'll still see traditional Irish dishes on the menu, from a side of rich, treacly soda bread to indulgently buttery crab claws, to newly cool bacon and cabbage. Tradition is alive and well throughout the island, and in a world where food trends are becoming homogenous, it's good to know that you can kick back and taste Ireland's authenticity without any effort at all.
Gallagher's Boxty House, 20/21 Temple Bar, Dublin 2
Specialising in traditional potato pancakes or "boxty", Gallagher's also serves up classic Irish dishes including seafood chowder, spiced beef, bacon and colcannon, and the Dublin classic coddle.
Goosers, Killalloe, County Clare
Enjoy Atlantic mussels, Irish stew, and beef and Guinness casserole in a traditional riverside thatched-roofed pub.
An Súgán, Clonakilty, County Cork
Local is the name of the game at this celebrated pub, with delicious seafood chowder, a West Cork artisan cheese and meat plate, and Bantry Bay mussels.
The Plough Inn, Hillsborough, County Down
Choose from the public bar or the more up-market restaurant, this place has lots of international dishes with some classic Irish favourites thrown in, such as dry-cured bacon chop with curly kale colcannon.
Crown Bar, 46 Great Victoria Street, Belfast BT2 7BA
Victorian elegance mixed with classic pub food makes this city centre icon an enduring favourite. Enjoy black pudding potato cake, ham and cabbage, sausage and champ, and pies to beat the band.

Bringing goods into the UK
You can bring some goods from abroad without having to pay UK tax or 'duty' (customs charges), as long as they're for your own use.
If you're coming:
- from a European Union (EU) country you can bring in an unlimited amount of most goods
- from outside the EU you can only bring in a certain amount without paying duty or tax - up to your duty-free allowance
There will be no change to the rights and status of EU citizens living in the UK until 2021. You and your family can apply for 'settled status' to continue living in the UK after June 2021. The scheme will open fully by March 2019.
You must tell customs about ('declare') any other goods when you arrive at the UK border, as well as anything that's banned or restricted in the UK. If you owe any duty or tax, you'll usually have to pay it immediately.
Your goods and any vehicle you use to transport them may be seized if you break the rules. You may also be fined or prosecuted.
You can report someone for breaking the rules to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

This is a shame because when it was held at the Cardiff International Arena it was one of the best events on the pro tour.
It had moved from Newport in 1999 in what proved to be a successful attempt to upgrade its image but returned there in 2005 – via the Welsh Institute of Sport – to cut costs.
The irony is that some of the snooker we've seen there over the last few seasons has been excellent. The O'Sullivan v Hendry final of 2005 was superb, we had Andrew Higginson's great run in 2007 and Selby v O'Sullivan in 2008.
Last year, Ali Carter produced a terrific final session display to beat Joe Swail 9-5 in a match played before a packed Newport crowd.
Wales is a snooker country. It has produced many a fine player, from Ray Reardon to Doug Mountjoy, Terry Griffiths to Darren Morgan, Mark Williams to Matthew Stevens and several others too, including current Welsh no.1 Ryan Day.
The announcement that totesport.com will sponsor the tournament – the first it has had in seven years – is a boost to an event that currently loses money and is in danger of being axed.
The draw this year seems lopsided to say the least. Ronnie O'Sullivan, John Higgins, Shaun Murphy, Mark Selby and Ding Junhui are all in the bottom half.
Neil Robertson, Ali Carter and Stephen Maguire are among those in the top half which, on paper, looks easier.
Of course, snooker isn't played on paper and predicting a likely winner come January 31 remains as fraught as ever.
It's good to see Tony Drago qualifying right from the first round, a tremendous effort by the veteran Maltese cueman.
Judd Trump was among those who came through from Prestatyn and he tackles Selby, who will be hoping history can repeat itself and he can win the Welsh title fresh from capturing the Masters, as he did two years ago.
For all the innovations and talk of different events, snooker's bedrock remains the ranking tournament circuit.
With only six events this season, any player regarding the Welsh Open as unimportant should think again.
The tournament will be shown on BBC Wales, the BBC website and Eurosport.

good luck to all those sportsmen in this contest who can behave like an adult. (That will be everyone except Ronnie)
i think the winner will come from the top half, as i think the finalist from that half will have had an easier path and easier matches.
Dave, if youre "in the box" with Mike H, please remind him that not all doubles are cross doubles. Cheers.

Hello Dave,
You probably won't approve this one but it's in the right spirit. I have started a blog that combines the gambling and snooker themes. I've also posted a prediction thread for Newport. It's at snookerbacker.wordpress.com , even if you just check it out yourself, I'm a huge snooker fan and used to be a decent player, anything that increases people's interest in the way your blog has might help get us back up to the place we all want the game to be.

Why is it only shown on BBC Wales? Appreciate it is physically being played in Wales but there are no more Welsh players than at any other ranking event so why does the BBC think that only Welsh viewers will be interested? Interested in your take on this.

It is on BBC Wales in you have Sky or on the BBC website, not sure about the red button.

Does anyone know what the full breakdown of prize money is at the Welsh Open this year? I can't find it anywhere.
- 3:44 pm
- Dave H said...
The prize money is on worldsnooker.com.
With regard to Edward's question, the Welsh Open came into being (off the back of the old Welsh Professional) to provide BBC Wales with a sporting event played in Wales that they could show. The BBC network have never shown any interest in showing it around the UK, although you can now watch it via Sky as others have pointed out.

Looking forward to the annual embarrassment of Welsh commentator John Evans when he interviews the winner and runner-up after the final a week today.
The powers that be seem to believe that this shambolic ritual in no way devalues the play that has preceded it.

Dear Janie Watkins, Hello Dave
Global Snooker seems a rather grand name Janie for a parochial snooker blog post. It may not be your choice of title Janie therefore apologies are maybe in order.
The fact lass that you use other blogs to advertise is not wrong, but should be unnecessary, though a great reflection on the strengths of other titles like the Dave Den blog of Eurosport.
Please don't take offence Miz Watkins. Snooker in my opinion doesn't deserve you and some others that are working under restraints.
Like Snooker coaching Janie, you shouldn't criticise without a clear answer. The name "Janie Watkins" should be enclosed and intertwined prominently somewhere in G S. Mr hey you

Hello Dave
There seems to be some discussion or discord with Mike Hallets "Doubles".
The Fine Art method is; never ever play a shot as a double, play it as a pot. First choose the address on the cue ball. Second choose the point on the cushion as if a pocket and treat the shot as a pot not a double.
Snooker amnesia is in all players. "I've always known that, but just forgot. Mr hey you
- 12:34 pm
hey you
mike refers to all doubles as "cross doubles"
even when it is a "straight double" he says
"he may go for the cross double"
which to 99.9% of snooker players is not what it is
for someone who was a great snooker player, he certainly isnt a very good commentator. he says sorry about 1 in 4 predictions of shot choices he makes (yes ive studied it)
- 12:48 pm
- jamie brannon said...
Online coverage is throughout the UK, but doesn't seem to be on the red button this year. I think the winner may well be a longer price than we expect. I will have a punt on Ryan Day as he should make the quarters and with the home crowd support and being in the weaker half all are plusses for this talented cueman.
- 1:04 pm
"why do we keep getting someone trying to get us to go to globalsnooker instead of the official site (when the info asked for is on the official site)?"
Well because global snooker:
(a) is more reliable, frequently the worldsnooker site would take a lot longer to report on matches although it has improved of late.
(b) tells us the frames scores and breaks over 30.
(c) informs us of prize money, the highest breaks etc. unlike worldsnooker.com
The only benefit worldsnooker.com gives is livescoring that I can see.
- 4:43 pm
Thanks mathmo for attempting to answer what i asked but unfortunately you missed the important part of the question which was about the info asked for....
your reply didnt answer the specific question at all.

Dear Dave
There seems to be an opening in snooker blogs for something better than merely offering the on going scores and the size of breaks.
There is also the same opening for commentators to boost rating and more importantly to boost advertising revenue of sponsors.
Why doesn't Janie and others instead of reporting a thirty break; in stead tell the punter or the viewer the reason, or the possible reason why the player "Broke Down" on thirty.
The world out there Janie is open for change, but more so very very impatient and thirsty for snooker knowledge.
There is a silly myth in snooker that only the top players can say why a pot is missed and was unsuccessful. There is no reason why any Joe blog can't give his opinion.
The blog or TV commentator may sometimes be wrong but snooker "Know How" can't be expanded without first an introduction. Mr hey you
PS. There is no copyright restrictions on the current coaching method. DM

Hi Dave! An extension to the 11:42 post for Janie.
How are you! Concerning the reasons that pots are missed and shots are unsuccessful is never the player aiming wrong with the cue ball.
Players never aim wrong; though most players and viewers assume they have done. Snooker technique of the future will register to the player and to keen students watching the "Probable" reason why the shot was unsuccessful.
The commentator or coach that remarks that the "Player is moving on the shot" is 100% wrong if he does not also say what caused the movement and the possible "Cure" or answer.
The advice to "Keep your head still" is only an observation and to the student meaningless without some detail. There is no secret in snooker Janie that cannot be found out.
Mr hey you.
- 8:00 pm
Out with the shear banality of both Messrs Morgan {give me a haspirate for my 'eadache}and totally uninspiring {atmospheric} Evans. The lack of entertaining commentary by these two is exacerbated by the lack of technical backup that seems to be readily available in other major snooker events. We actually pay for this. Thank goodness the game play can be enjoyed in the silence that is available when these two, in particular, are crucifying the spoken language. PROGRAMME PLANNERS PLEASE LISTEN.

DailyDirt: Flying Cars & Other Crazy Stuff
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- A flying car from Slovakia recently made a test flight after about 20 years of development. The Aeromobil 2.5 isn't the only flying car design out there, but it actually looks like an almost normal car from the front (though its side-view profile looks like a crazy transformer). [url]
- Maybe there shouldn't be flying cars clogging up the sky, but NASA is helping to develop new rules for how to share the air with drones. In 2015, the FAA plans to open up US airspace to unmanned aerial vehicles above 18,000 feet -- but the skies probably won't be fully open to drones until after 2020. [url]
- If more people are going to be flying around in all kinds of crazy contraptions, it might make sense to develop ways to skydive without a parachute. Gary Connery jumped 2,400 feet from a helicopter in a special wingsuit without a parachute, and he fell for almost a minute before crashing into a landing strip made of about 18,600 cardboard boxes.

Michigan Teachers to Explore Africa, Use it to Inspire their Students
By Jennifer Donovan | Published
What's one good way to get kids excited about science? Tell true stories about real experiences, says education researcher Brad McLain. And when those stories are about a personal visit to Gombe Stream National Park—the African research center where iconic chimpanzee scientist Jane Goodall and her team work—or climbing Mount Kilimanjaro—how much more exciting can you get?
This summer, 15 Michigan teachers are going to get the chance to do just that—and more—in the Michigan STEM Partnership's first Xsci Africa trip. Michigan Technological University's Institute for Leadership and Innovation is coordinating the teachers' adventure, and Michigan Tech's Doug Oppliger will be in Africa with them. Oppliger is a senior lecturer in Engineering Fundamentals and head of the university's High School Enterprise program.
XSci Africa is the University of Colorado-Denver's (UCD) Experiential Science Education Research Collaborative, run by UCD's School of Education and Human Development and underwritten in part by the Merck Company Foundation. Colorado teachers have already traveled to Africa six times. This year, UCD reached out to the Michigan STEM Partnership to expand the program to Michigan.
The Michigan STEM Partnership is a statewide collaboration of educators, business and industry leaders and others working to improve science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills. Their goal is to build Michigan's economic strength and attract and retain desirable jobs. Michigan Tech President Glenn Mroz is on the state's STEM Partnership Steering Committee.
The Michigan STEM Partnership is part of a nationwide "STEMx" program established by Battelle, an Ohio-based institute that supports cooperative efforts of science, education, business and government to advance STEM education and workforce development. Seventeen states, including Michigan and Colorado, now are members of STEMx, which is why Colorado reached out to Michigan to help expand its program.
Michigan's STEM Partnership chose Michigan Tech to head the project. Fourth through 12th grade teachers throughout the state were invited to apply for the trip of a lifetime. More than 500 applied and 15 were chosen, including three from the Upper Peninsula.
Guided by Oppliger, who has done a lot of work with teachers in remote locations, the XSci Africa teachers have established an active network as they prepare for their July 6-26 trip. They met in person in January and now are sharing information and ideas online. Their focus: "How are we going to use what we see and learn in our classrooms."
The teachers are already bringing Africa into their classrooms, Oppliger says, as they complete their own homework assignments, learning about the places they will be going and the sights they will be seeing. And through the online network, each shares what he or she is learning with the rest of the group.
According to McLain, who heads the parent program at UCD, "The Michigan teachers are one of the most active, enthusiastic groups we've ever had." Each teacher is making a documentary video of Africa and their experiences there.
"This is the stuff of inspiration," says McLain. "An extraordinary STEM learning experience like this can change our sense of who we are."
McLain and his research group are studying what he calls "science identity construction." They want to see how life-changing experiences impact teachers' sense of identity, of how science is integrated into their sense of self as educators and science professionals.
The project's ultimate goal is not just to produce future scientists, engineers and technologically skilled workers—although that's certainly one of the outcomes sought.
"Science is a human endeavor," says McLain. "It's fueled by a passion to know. We want to create a generation of lifelong learners—interested, curious, science-literate people."
Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities, mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan's Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.
