SMYRNA, Tenn. (WKRN) – Smyrna police are looking an armed robbery after police say he took cash from a gas station.
The unidentified man was armed with a gun when he reportedly robbed the Mapco on the 1800 block of Almaville Road at 4:15 a.m. Sunday.
Police said the suspect waited until the cash register was open and produced a small black handgun and attempted to grab cash from the drawer.
The suspect is described as a thin male in his late 30's or early 40's. He was wearing blue jeans, a black shirt and a fur-lined hat with ear flaps.
A second suspect waited in the parking lot and was driving what was police described as a green compact pickup truck, possibly a mid 90's Chevy S-10.
The vehicle was last seen entering east bound Interstate 24.
At about 4:40 a.m., the same suspects robbed the A+ Exxon in the 1200 block of Fortress Drive in Murfreesboro.
A suspect matching the description of the one in Smyrna again produced a gun and attempted to grab cash from the register.
He left the store with stolen beer.
In this crime, the suspect was accompanied by another black male described as being heavy set by police.
Both men left in what is described as a green Chevy S-10.
If anyone has information on this crime or can identify the suspects, please contact Smyrna police at 615-459-6644.

Londoners know all too well that the Talbot St. Bridge in downtown London, Ontario, is notorious for oversize trucks trying to squeeze their way through.
Though there is clear signage warning drivers that vehicles over 3.3m tall will not be able to safely pass under the bridge it's never long before it claims another victim.
@AM980News It happened again. #talbotbridge pic.twitter.com/O46G3npsGQ— Charlie Hay (@RCharlesHay) May 1, 2017
According to AM980 News there is a report going before city hall "next Wednesday, which outlines raising the bridge, lowering the road, or adding even more signage as potential solutions to the problem."
New report suggests signage at Talbot Street bridge doing little to curb crashes. https://t.co/n0ioD1Bqkr— AM980 London News (@AM980News) May 17, 2017
How can these new signs get the attention of drivers? Here are 5 ideas!
1. Who doesn't love a 'Lord Of The Rings' reference?
2. Or it could remind drivers what a headache they are going to have with the help of 'South Park.'
3. "The Truck Stops Here" idea comes straight from the @TalbotStBridge on Twitter!
May 10, 2017
4. Or the sign could be classic meme style:
5. How about this one for 'Jurassic Park' fans, Wayne Knight waving his no-no finger with "Driving a truck over 3.3m tall?" at the top?

With Marcos Rojo getting injured early in the first half against Anderlecht, United are now fearing for the security in the back and we are looking to the options to replace him. Eric Bailly and Daley Blind formed the partnership against Anderlecht when Rojo departed, but the Dutch doesn't seem to offer much security and that's why we are not sure if that's the duo United will play until the Argentine is back.
There are a few options in the first team to replace Marcos Rojo, such as Matteo Darmian, Daley Blind, Michael Carrick and surprisingly Paul Pogba. However, these aren't the only options as we have Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Axel Tuanzebe and Regan Poole from the academy, but Jose will probably go for experience rather than youth considering the important matches ahead.
Causing Jose Mourinho a terrible headache, he will have to make his decision quickly as we face Burnley in the weekend. Let's have a look at the options one by one, who will be the best option to suit the heart of defense with Eric Bailly:
Daley Blind
We start the list with the name of the player who replaced Rojo. This season Blind has been used as a left-back and yet hasn't given much security to Jose to make him first choice. We have seen him playing last season as a centre-back and to be quite fair he surely needs back up, as, despite United's best game reader after Carrick, Blind isn't someone who you can rely on. He suffers a lot in one on one, this has been evident this season. As for the game against Anderlecht, he however, did a great job and never went for the trouble. Full-time replacement for Rojo? He started his career as a centre-back, but not sure whether he is ready to do the immense job, Rojo did.
Michael Carrick
It's not such an unusual position for Michael Carrick as he's got the credibility of defending well, stopping the opponent and tackling. One of the reasons we always like to watch him is the fresh air to the midfield but nothing seems to work without Ander Herrera there. Going back to the defence issue, Michael Carrick won't be able to do good enough as for a player of his ages, handling strikers will be really difficult. If we have a look at the fixtures, even Carrick would say no to that place. He's a bit slow and not sure that he would do it. Not saying that he can't tactically but velocity is an important fact these days.
Paul Pogba
It may seem like a crazy idea, but when it comes to Jose Mourinho nothing should surprise you anymore. There's still a big debate regarding Pogba whether he has lived up his prize, Jose Mourinho took the time and said that he can handle every position:
"He's a top player and I think he could be a phenomenal central defender, with the quality of his pass, his aerial game, his agility in such a big body.
"For the defensive side of the game, coming from the back with the ball he could be a phenomenal central defender. He can play in so many positions."
Jose might be right, based on the characteristics he can, but not quite sure if this man would handle criticism off his spine again. He is versatile and his statistics do help him, but going for him right, could be extremely dangerous.
Matteo Darmian
It could be the turning point of his and Manchester United's season. We play for Europe, he plays for a place in this Manchester United team. Until Sunday, despite being a big fan of the Italian I was almost sure that he really needs to go, but the way he handled Pedro, as the third centre-back was something in a whole new level. Probably the best game he has had in a United shirt. Decent blocks and Pedro just like Hazard and co was completely shut down. Based on what I have seen from him in Italy, he is more than capable of doing the job. The only real thing I worry is the system when it comes to him. He is immense but came in here in the wrong time. Yet, this could change it all. Knowing Jose, he might go for Darmian and actually have success.
From experience, a special mention we must give to our talented youngsters from the academy. In here three make the break as possible choices:
Timothy Fosu-Mensah
A man in need of minutes, Fosu – Mensah in his really early days was a central defender, making a good impression on everyone who saw him. He defends quite well and the way he pushes forward has also been noticed by the managers who managed him in the academy. Holding to get his chance, Fosu – Mensah seems to have found the perfect moment. He is always around the first team and probably one of those who can win the manager's trust. We haven't seen much of him this season, but yet his games last season have a left a good taste of what we can expect from him.
Axel Tuanzebe
In the last article I wrote on mixing youth with experience, Tuanzebe was key to the fact that we needed to understand that not everyone will be mentioned every time. Probably, this time has come and we are need of a central defender. Still young, Axel has a lot to learn, but with the situation given we need a solution. His movement with the ball is ridiculously good and decent for a central midfielder, his tackles are great and he doesn't fear to go on and face the opponent.
Jose has praised him but maybe it's time to give him a chance.
Regan Poole
He has grown a lot lately I must admit that, but his temperament and attitude don't feel correct. Recently, Poole played with the U19's in Dallas Cup messed it all around as he was sent off and also in the first showed big issues once again as he wasn't linking with his teammates well. He was kind of lost. Jose simply doesn't like that and he definitely isn't consistent enough, something that has been proven during the season, raising a lot of questions, certainly saying to Poole that he needs to become a better player. Definitely not the best answer.
Out of all the options handed Jose may choose to go with experience rather than youth and we get it, but despite Rojo's amazing work rate, we need a replacement and it's urgent to find one now. Blind may face Burnley but not City Arsenal and on the other side, Darmian can get you out of the situation, but AI he keep it long? It's all up to Jose Mourinho now.

And the splendors immortal
Shall envelop the skies;
When the Angel of Death
Shall no longer destroy,
And the dead shall awaken
In the morning of joy:
In the morning of joy,

Singing praise to the Lamb,
Thro' eternity's years,
With the past all forgotten
With its sorrows and tears [Refrain]

There has been a bit of talk on Twitter and among my colleagues IRL and online about work-life balance in academia. See for example this excellent post by @TheNewPI. The gist of it is: is a normal 40h work week, which is the norm everywhere, feasible for academics? I think the answer is yes and no. It really depends on what your goals and priorities are. If you really want to develop an independent research program as PI of a lab at a decent research university or institute, then I don't think sticking to a strict 9-5 schedule will serve you very well. The more time (up to a certain limit) you put into your work, the better you will become, the more you will accomplish. However, I think there are a few points worth elaborating on here.
The problem of quantification
I think one of the key underappreciated issues in the "hours worked" controversy is how these hours are calculated. Does the hour when you are in the lab, but waiting for the gel to run and sitting on facebook count? Will it count if instead you are on Twitter, but your twitter feed is mostly science-related? Does it count if you are reading science-related blogs? Does it count when you are at lunch with your labmates? Does it count when you are taking a collaborator out to dinner? Does it count when you are lying awake in bed trying to figure out a work-related issue? I think the people who say they are working 80-hour work weeks will answer yes to all these questions, and exaggerate a little bit to boot. Just last week I did probably a solid 50 hours of really intensive work (mostly at the bench, some supervision), not counting any downtime, and it feels exhausting. Perhaps I could pull off an extra 5 hours, but that's it.
Diminishing returns
When you work overtime, at some point you will reach a level of fatigue that will be counterproductive. There is a very well known paper by John Pencavel at Stanford showing how productivity drops off after the 50h work-week. Mind, this is data for a rather mindless repetitive task, so work in research may be a bit different, but the data probably more-or-less applies to any occupation. At some point you will simply not work as efficiently as your well rested colleague. This work also points to the necessity of having at least one day off in the week, which is very much in line with my personal experience. If I work every day for 7 days, my next week is very unproductive due to accumulated fatigue.
In a way, the hours worked in research, especially for bench work, is not really about whether it's 8.5 or 9.5 hours a day. It's all about flexibility. The way I see it is this:
In the drawing above, each colored sawtooth pattern is a task. Tasks often look like this in biomedical research, where actual work (pipetting, mixing, setting up reactions) are interspersed with periods of waiting. So if you limit yourself to 8 hours flat, you may accomplish three tasks (yellow, red, blue) with the latter part of the day only half-occupied. If instead you say, I will stay flexible and try to get those two extra tasks (green, purple) done, you manage to accomplish almost twice as much, at the cost of only two extra hours at the bench. This is where I think people who don't adhere to fixed work hours can really get a lot more work done than people who do.
Situation outside of work
What you have to do when you get home has an enormous influence on how flexible you can be in your work hours. If you are the primary caretaker of two kids, you will have to pick them up from daycare or school at a fixed hour, you will have to feed them, clothe them, entertain them, all of which are things that sap your energy almost as much as benchwork does. If you have a newborn at home, you will not get as much sleep as someone who does not. If you have a full-time working spouse you will have to do a bunch of chores, whereas if your spouse is stay-at-home, you will be off the hook a bit more. If you are well-off, you will be able to pay people to do your chores, cook your food etc. All these things matter!
The symptom, not the cause
Here's a big one. I really don't think the people who spend crazy hours in the lab are successful because they put in those hours. I think their spending time in the lab is a reflection of their passion for research, their insatiable curiosity, their "I can't wait till tomorrow to know the result" attitude. And it is that passion that results in both their success and their long working hours. I've seen many PIs require in more or less unequivocal terms that their lab members spend a certain number of hours of overtime in the lab. Really, if these people are not intrinsically motivated to work overtime, they will not be more productive when they are forced to – they will just pretend to work during these extra two-three hours a day. The only way I think this might work is that it will quickly weed out people with less drive, which is maybe the real underlying motivation behind such requirements.
Level of motivation
In my experience, your ability to work hard is to a large extent limited by the perceived fruits of your labor. If you keep working 50 hour weeks and all you get is failed experiments and negative results, you will not be able to keep that up for long. If your results are great, a 50h-week may feel like a breeze. To some extent this will be dependent by the objective difficulty of the problem/project and the experimental methods, and to some extent it will be the external feedback that you get – from your boss, from your colleagues, from your reviewers. So my advice is: listen to your body. If your your experiments are falling apart all around you, you feel exhausted, and work fills you with loathing, just take a step back, have a leisurely evening or two, take the weekend off, and then go back to your work with a fresh mind. If, on the other hand, you are on a roll, you feel energized and full of enthusiasm, then ride that wave and stay at work longer – you will thank yourself later that you did.
The inevitable trade-offs
So now we can go back to our original questions: is working overtime important for your success as a researcher? Well, it depends. Are you extremely efficient, very skilled at the bench, very talented, and lucky to boot? Then 40h a week may be perfectly sufficient for you to get this coveted PI position at a reputable research institution. But you must realize you will be competing against people who are all these things, and in addition work 50-60h weeks. So you may instead get into a second-tier institution, be less well known internationally, do slightly less bleeding-edge research, attract fewer talented trainees to your lab etc. These are the trade-offs you that you may have to make to have a more fulfilling life outside of work, more face time with your kids, hobbies, etc. It all boils down to your value system and what is really important to you. These people who work 70h weeks have sacrificed pretty much everything for a satisfying career and that's their (and yours) choice to make.
And to finish off, here's another interesting post on the subject.
Edit: Another cool post, this time from someone who has left the ivory tower, but says that old habits die hard.
Edit: Here's a nice paper on the how many hours/days people work in academia in the UK. It appears that at any career stage working 40 hours or less per week is the exception rather than the norm (~15% of PhD students, ~20% of postdocs, ~25% of PIs). In fact, it looks like working more than 50 hours a week is more common than working 40 or less.

Equal Pay Day is a day that draws attention to disparities in pay between men and women who perform the same job.
In 2016 the gender pay gap stood at 18.1%, the ethnicity pay gap at 5.7%, and the disability pay gap at 13.6%.
Local business owners like Lisa Sharp are showing their support for equal pay day with sales at their businesses.
"Wage inequalities are particularly stark in New Jersey because men's wages are so high; we rank second in the nation for white, non-Hispanic men", Dana Britton, director of the Rutgers Center for Women and Work, said in a news release.
In 2016, Black women made $641 a week compared to white women who made $766, and made almost $300 less than White men (they made $942) according to an analysis by the Institute for Women's Policy Research.
YouTube To Livestream Coachella's Lady Gaga, Radiohead & Kendrick Lamar Sets
For the fourth year running, YouTube is set to serve as the exclusive streaming partner for famed music festival Coachella . If you're into 360-degree livestreams, select performances will feature a special mode that does just that.
The new initiative hopes that increased transparency will encourage companies to address their gender pay gap issues and reduce workplace discrimination.
A recent study found Florida may be the first state to close the gender wage gap. And on average, the wage gap is even wider for women of color than it is for white women. Despite making up half the workforce, more than five decades after the passage of the Equal Pay Act of 1963, American women still make only 80 cents, on average, for every dollar earned by a man.
"Because women earn less, on average, than men, they must work longer for the same amount of pay", the committee's site explains.Women working full time in the US are typically paid 79 percent of what men earn, and that gap is even wider for women of color. It's also really important to be very transparent and audit yourself on whether or not you are paying fairly", she said in an interview with NPR's Marketplace this morning, "We're looking at our performance ratings.
The pay gap means women lose around $10,470 in median earnings a year, according to a March report from the NWLC.
Equal Pay Day is the symbolic date when working women's pay catches up to men's from the previous year.

Article Side
Online Article Directory!
What is the definition of the word "understanding"? We all think that we are very understanding and kind to each other and especially to people suffering from mental disorders. We say that to ourselves but how many of us are really considerate and patient towards someone with a mental disorder? In this article we will be making an effort to implement this quality in action. This article will focus on schizophrenia and I hope by the end of this article you have an understanding of what it means and what you can do to help people suffering from this disease.
Well to begin with, schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder where the person affected will isolate himself from the environment and there will be disorientation in the way he functions his day to day life. It changes the way he thinks, acts and sees the world. His personality disintegrates and he will have difficulty in coordinating his thoughts, behavior and action. He develops delusions and hallucinations. He will be living in an entirely different world of his own following an entirely different logic. The person will withdraw himself from reality and develops an illogical pattern of thinking. For instance, When he looks at fire, he might feel that some major disaster is about to occur in his life. When he listens to the sound of a truck or van, he might sense danger and will feel that someone is waiting to take him in the truck to harm him or to ruin his life. He will even have the feeling that everyone in the world is against him and that he is an evil force so, people consider him as dangerous living being. When you talk to a person affected with schizophrenia he will look for signs in your body language and conclude an entirely different meaning exactly opposite of what you are trying to convey.
To him whatever you speak doesn't matter, he will see you as God or a messenger from God who is trying to put an end to the atrocities he has committed. For a normal person who leads his life peacefully, it will be like a jolt from the blue to get transformed into some evil force all of a sudden. He will feel stressed and wonder why his life has taken such a big turn and why has he been chosen as the ultimate evil force on earth. Some people experience feelings similar to sexual harassment. This means they feel sexually harassed when they merely talk with a normal person or when they look at certain objects. The worst part is that you will never be able to convince him that what he is thinking is just not true. Real life incidents and hallucinations get mixed in his life making him exposed to extreme levels of stress. This is the life of a person suffering from schizophrenia. But again every person has different feelings so different patients may develop different kinds of illusions. What I have described is just way one patient had experienced. So how can you help such a person?
Schizophrenia is associated with unusual imbalance of chemical messengers between nerve cells. It is called dopamine. Identifying the cause for the disease is very difficult. It can occur because of the interaction of several physical, genetic, psychological and environmental factors. People suffering from schizophrenia believe that someone is reading their mind that their life is an open book for everyone to read and control. So is there a cure for the disease? The answer is yes. The disease can be managed by medications and psychotherapy. I recently watched a movie about schizophrenia that was aired on TV through Dish TV Offers that I got and I was moved. But there is one thing that can bring about changes in the misfortunate lives of people affected by this condition. It is unconditional love, patience and understanding. So the next time you meet someone affected, you know what to do right?

Zimbabwe opposition's Biti says talks still on
HARARE, (Reuters) – Zimbabwe's opposition MDC said on Tuesday power-sharing talks with President Robert Mugabe were expected to continue on Wednesday after the third day of negotiations ended.
"The talks have not collapsed. It's just a time out (break)," Movement for Democratic Change Secretary-General Tendai Biti told reporters after he and MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai left the talks venue. He added the talks would "most likely" resume on Wednesday.
Asked whether there were issues they had failed to resolve, he said: "There is nothing that cannot be overcome."

American Indians, commercial fishermen and conservation groups plan to take their concerns about salmon-blocking dams on the Klamath River straight to the owner's ultimate chief -- billionaire investor Warren Buffett.
Representatives from the North Coast will head to Omaha, Neb., in early May to plead with Berkshire Hathaway Inc.'s CEO to take notice of the struggle over the fate of Pacificorp's dams. The company's shareholder meeting is the forum, and the tribes and fishermen plan to put on a brush dance in the vicinity of the gathering and perhaps bend the ear of investors.
Berkshire Hathaway's MidAmerican Energy Holdings bought Pacificorp nearly two years ago, after the Yurok, Hoopa, Karuk and Klamath tribes twice brought similar messages to previous owner ScottishPower.
"They didn't fix a damn thing," said Hoopa Valley tribal member Merv George, who intends to bring a traditional redwood canoe to Omaha. "They just sold it to someone else."
George said that he's optimistic that Buffett may only be uninformed about the effects his subsidiary's dams are having on Klamath salmon stocks. The mission to Omaha is an educational one, George said, that he hopes will spur Buffett to make decisions from the top. Pacificorp and MidAmerican, he said, have not been very helpful.
The trip to the Midwest takes place as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission considers issuing another 30- to 50-year license for the hydropower dams. Settlement talks between the company and stakeholders along the Klamath River are also proceeding, but have yet to produce tangible results.
Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation Commissioner Ronnie Pellegrini and her two daughters Eryn, 17, and Michaela, 14, are also making the trip. A fisherman's wife, Pellegrini said she hopes to bring a message that a healthy Klamath River is for the good of the fishing industry and others who depend on it.
"Everybody seems to want to take out the dams except Pacificorp," Pellegrini said. "Maybe we can go around Pacificorp and convince Warren Buffett of all the benefits of taking out the dams."
A spokesman for MidAmerican said that Pacificorp does inform its parent company of the status of negotiations and the relicensing process. Allan Urlis said Pacificorp is in charge of the negotiations.
"This is being managed and handled by Pacificorp," Urlis said.
He declined to say what the reaction of company leaders might be to the presence of the North Coast contingent in May. A call to Pacificorp was not returned by deadline.
But the group is hoping to make an impression.
"We're going to take case to Berkshire: This subsidiary is not representing them very well," said Karuk Tribe spokesman Craig Tucker.

List Vendor Adapts SaaS and Adds Revenue
In 2010 L2 Political was selling voter files the same way it had been doing for almost 30-years. Political campaigns would call up and place an order. The records would be selected from the databases by database engineers and exported to a CSV or PDF file. The data would be sent to the client and that would be it. Each order was a one-time sale and most campaigns would only order the data once per election. If the candidate would run for office again two, four or six years later then there could be a new order and new revenue.

Round Norfolk Relay
The Serpie team finished 39th overall, 14th in their category at this weekend's Round Norfolk Relay.
After more than 26 hours of racing, our 17th team member crossed the finish line just 15mins away from their estimated target time. Full results are available on the RNR website. Hopefully I'll get a full report soon, when I'll update this brief news item.
Many thanks to Mike Woodcock and Nick Tucker for organising the weekend.

This article contains good behind-the-scenes reporting on Ted Koppel's departure from ABC. According to one producer quoted in it, ABC executive David Westin wanted Nightline to be a superficial, Good Night America-style show. "I was told that people want to go to bed happy," he says. Among other problems rankling Westin was that Koppel's negotiated salary kept rising as the show's ratings kept dipping. Koppel even offered to plow some of his salary back into the show's production. Now Nightline has three hosts, but Westin figured this is cheaper than one.

History fires the imagination whilst developing knowledge and understanding of how the human race has developed and changed over time. The interlocking stories of people and places add context to the knowledge-base of our students and promotes a sense of curiosity about history across the curriculum. History is highly valued as an academic subject as the skills and concepts covered in the GCSE and A Level lend themselves to any qualification or career path.
Creating a thirst for knowledge and a connection to the world around us through greater understanding is a strong part of the ethos of History at GNSA. As such we seek to take our students to see 'history in action' wherever possible. The trips in recent year have included:
Year 10 - visited the Old Operating Theatre and Herb Garrett at London Bridge as part of their study into the history of medicine.
Year 9 – a cross-curricular trip with the MFL department to see the World War I trenches. Students found that that experience consolidated their understanding of the events.
Year 8 – students visited Buckingham Palace in conjunction with the Art Department.
Year 7 – a trip to the London Dungeons as part of activities day.
Key Stage 3
Year 7 topics include:
- What is history?
- Did the Romans bring peace and prosperity or death and destruction?
- Why did William win at Hastings and how did he take control?
- Who had the most significant impact? Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings or Normans
- How did England relate to other countries in the middle ages?
Year 8 topics include:
- Did England become a protestant country in the 16th Century?
- What was the cause of the English Civil war?
- Was Cromwell a hero or a villain?
- How did Britain increase its influence 1500-1750?
- What was the impact of industrialisation 1750-1900?
- How strong was the British Empire at the end of the 19th Century?
Year 9 topics include:
- What was the most significant cause of WWI?
- How significant was the role of gas in changing attitudes to war?
- What was 'golden' and 'roaring' about the 1920s?
- Why did the Holocaust happen?
- Why were international relations frozen 1945-1990?
- How did Britain start to shed the colonies?
Assessments take place termly in class and involve the students preparing to answer an essay question under timed conditions.
Key Stage 4 – GCSE History
Students will study the following topics:
Medicine and public health c50AD to the present time (Examination)
This is a comprehensive look at how medicine and public health have developed over 2000 years of history. Students identify key individuals and look at the significance of key moments on improving the way we live today.
Transformation of Surgery c1845 -1918 (Examination)
A study of the three key challenges of pain, infection and blood loss by looking at how they were overcome and the reception they received by society and the medical establishment.
Representations of history Vietnam c1950-1975 (Controlled Assessment)
An enquiry into Americas involvement in Vietnam and how they were drawn into a conflict they could not win. Students look at how the war has been represented including looking at the ar and the music of the time.
Germany 1918-1945 (Examination)
A depth study of the challenges facing Germany 1918-1945 and the rise of the Nazi party.
The qualification follows the Schools history project with Edexcel and is broken into four parts each worth 25%.

Hey There Bubba, Seen My Ford?Posted by Jeff Summers on Jan 16, 2000 in 1999 Off Season | 0 comments
I'm sitting around watching television, waiting for the Simpsons to start when a commercial came on announcing the big Monster Truck rally being held next weekend at Bank One Ballpark. It is hard to believe that three months ago, the BOB was filled with a capacity crowd cheering on the Diamondbacks in the first play-off game in franchise history and now it would be filled with 50,000 fans cheering on large trucks that require ladders to get into. The fan base would seem to be substantially different as well. I can only envision what it will be like next Saturday. Men who are having trouble sitting down in their seats. Beer guts hanging over, belt buckles larger than dinner plates making comfortable seating even more difficult. As the commercial ended, I found myself thinking that there are some events at Bank One Ballpark that even I couldn't force myself to attend. A fan has got to draw the line somewhere.

Primal Scream 'Chaosmosis' Review: Scottish iconoclasts return with a slick electro-pop makeover.
Primal Scream never sit still for long. Their discography shows the Bobby Gillespie led outfit veering seamlessly from acid-house (Screamadelica) to roots rock (Give Out But Don't Give Up) and all things in-between (XTRMNR, Vanishing Point).
2013's More Light saw them refocus on their late 90's trip-hop/psych/industrial fusion, but Chaosmosis is another thing altogether, with the group crafting their most accessible material to date.
In a recent interview with The Scotsman, Gillespie noted they were ditching Light's psych-bombast to work "within the confines of a three-minute commercial pop song."
For a band known for aggressive agitprop, this is a surprising development, but it speaks to Gillespie and guitarist Andrew Innes' songcraft that it works quite swimmingly.
They firmly embrace 21st century dance pop on tracks like Carnival of Fools, a synth stabbing dance floor banger and first single, Where The Light Gets In, a shimmering collaboration with vocalist Sky Ferriera, whose presence mashes-up seamlessly with Gillespie's cooing vocals.
The female dynamic looms large on Chaosmosis: Cat's Eyes vocalist Rachel Zeffira lends haunting background vocals on folk ballad Private Wars, while Haim provide luminous backing harmonies on Trippin' On Your Love (a shameless if very catchy nod and a wink to Screamadelica). The sisters pull double duty on the album, also appearing on the insistent New Order-esque 100% Percent of Nothing.
Lyrically, Chaosmosis is Gillespie's most personal album, looking back on his days of drug abuse. On I Can Change his lyrics of self-destruction clash against tropical bossa nova instrumentation "All the pain that I caused/all the time that we lost/drink and drugs, self-destruct."
And krautrock ear-worm (Feeling Like) A Demon Again, features confessional lyrics that belie its effervescent charms: "I was jealous and insane, mediation kills the pain." Likewise the hypnotic Golden Rope features a mantra of fretful self-awareness "I know that there is something wrong with me."
Fans craving the band's dystopian fury may find frustration with Chaosmosis, although When The Blackout Becomes The Fallout comes closest to scratching that nihilistic itch.
But that's the beauty of Primal Scream, they refuse to stick to anyone's playbook but their own, following their muse where it takes them. I won't at all be surprised if their follow-up is their most abrasive to date. But Chaosmosis works surprisingly well, especially with repeat listens.
It's less battering ram, more Trojan Horse. Subversion for the masses that freaked Gillespie back on More Light single 2013: "They killed the counter-culture/underground/It offers no critique/No revolutionary spirit left/They've sanitized the freaks."
If it takes honey to catch flies over vinegar, so be it: Primal Scream know how to get the job done.

War is coming, secrets multiply and betrayal waits in the wings...The Empire's ruling family must be vigilant, as the conspiracy against them deepens. Having discovered her father's assassin, Adare flees the Dawn Palace in search of allies. But few trust her, until she seems marked by the people's goddess in an ordeal of flame. As Adare struggles to unite Annur, unrest breeds rival armies - then barbarian hordes threaten to invade. And unknown to Adare, her brother Valyn has fallen in with forces mustering at the empire's borders. The terrible choices facing each of them could make war between them inevitable. Fighting his own battles is their brother Kaden, rightful heir to the throne, who has infiltrated the Annurian capital with two strange companions. While imperial forces prepare to defend a far distant front, Kaden's actions could save the empire, or destroy it.

Sunglass and sportswear maker Oakley Inc. will close its distribution operation in Ontario as part of a consolidation plan, an executive for parent company Luxottica has said.
Massimo Vian, chief executive officer for Luxottica Group product and operations, outlined the plans during a March 2 earnings conference call. He said then the company was planning for a new distribution hub in Atlanta.
"We are tripling the size of our distribution center," he said, according to a transcript of the call. .
"We will transfer all the operations into Atlanta and Atlanta will be … the only one distribution hub for North America and Mexico."
His statement indicated the move would be completed by the end of the year, but was not specific.
A Luxottica official did not immediately return an email seeking additional information. The Milan, Italy-based company has corporate offices in New York.
It was not clear how many employees might be affected by the closure, or whether it involved one or both of Oakley's warehouse-type facilities in Ontario.
Ontario City Manager Al Boling said the city was unaware of any planned layoffs at either Oakley building through the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.
"We haven't heard or received anything," he said Monday, May 9. The Oakley operations are on Philadelphia Street and Barrington Avenue in Ontario. Boling said the Barrington Avenue facility was the larger of the two.
The state's WARN law mandates notification to cities of layoffs 60 days in advance of the event. The WARN notices are also posted publicly.
Luxottica group acquired Oakley, based in the Orange County community of Foothill Ranch, for $2.1 billion in 2007.
But Luxottica only recently began making moves to integrate Oakley into the international business. In July, the Oakley unit laid off 167 employees in Foothill Ranch and Encinitas. Another 76 layoffs at Foothill Ranch were listed in December on the WARN reports.
The move was described then as part of "the further integration of Oakley into Luxottica, allowing the brand to better leverage on Luxottica's strengths."
Luxottica's presence in the fashion and sport eyeglass business includes some of its most recognizable names: Giorgio Armani, Burberry, Bulgari, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Michael Kors, Prada, Ralph Lauren, Tiffany & Co., Versace and Valentino, according to its web site.
The company also has 7,200 retail stores, including LensCrafters and Pearle Vision in North America.

I was talking to the lady who gave me the tip about Cuisine Szechuan, when she said "there's an even better restaurant - it used to suck, but now there is a new chef, and everything is good!" She wrote the name in Chinese on a piece of paper, gave me some instructions on how to get there, and after several fruitless attempts to find the place, I finally did. Here is the report.
Restaurant Oui&Oui is a small space with room for about 30 customers. You can look right into the kitchen and watch the chefs work. They advertise offering the following cuisines: Fuzhou, Vietnamien, Cantonais, Hunan and Szechuan. Eclectic mix perhaps, but I was very excited to see that Fuzhou cuisine was being offered. I've only read a little about this particular cuisine on the Web, but did not know much about it.
Sadly, they have removed some of the Fuzhou dishes from their repertoire. It seem that Fuzhou style noodles, Fuzhou rice cakes and Amoy noodles did not sell very well, and now they no longer offer these dishes. Perhaps if we continue to bug them....
The English menu has a mix of dishes ranging from the ubiquitous General Tao chicken to boiled pork feet in soya sauce. There are a bunch of Thai dishes offered as well (Pad Thai, tom yum soup, coconut milk curry dishes, etc). When we were there, there was an interesting mix of clientele. There were several tables of "North American/Caucasian" customers, ordering things like the General Tao chicken and Pad Thai, very generic dishes that you might see anywhere. I would comment that every dish that passed by us to those tables looked and smelled delicious, and I would have happily eaten all of them. This was a very promising sign. There was a table of 2 young Chinese customers who ordered some amazing dishes from a Chinese menu - more on this later. As well, the kitchen were eating their lunch, and of course, these dishes looked fabulous as well. We asked them to give us the tofu dish the kitchen was eating, it turned out it was Ma Po Tofu.
Ma Po Tofu: This is a classic dish that features the wonderful qualities of soft tofu, and if you don't like tofu after eating Ma Po tofu, then there is no hope for you (well.... I'd still like you, but you would not get to come and eat Soon Dubu with me, that's all). This version had the freshest, softest tofu I have had in a long time, and as my friend said, "if only we could get tofu this fresh". Beautifully seasoned with small shreds of pork, Chinese pickled vegetable, chile oil and wonderful fragrant salty Chinese black beans, this Ma Po Tofu is a sophisticated and delightful exploration of tofu. I would comment that it is not quite as accessible to a broad range of palates as some versions I have had. There are versions of ma po tofu that are a bit more homestyle, and I could eat rice and this dish alone. But this version is for connaisseurs, some of the flavours might be a bit too strong for the average non-Chinese person. They might enjoy some bites, but it would be hard for them to eat a whole bowlful. I found it very balanced and elegant, but powerful, and I too find the flavours a bit too strong to only eat this as a main course. Oh, but the tofu was so perfect....
Chicken in Fuhzou style sauce: This is bone in chicken pieces that have been marinated in a red, salty-sweet sauce. The chicken really stars in this dish, the sauce accentuates the chicken flavour and makes me think, "oh yeah, chicken does have a flavour!" Too often when I order chicken, I can't discern any chicken taste at all, the dish is all about the sauce. This dish makes you appreciate how tasty chicken can be. This is not spicy at all, even though the menu says it is mildly spicy. Perhaps dumber down for us? Don't care. It was delicious. So tender, so savoury, delicious. I could eat a plateful of this chicken. But if you don't like bones, this dish will drive you crazy. I personally love bone-in chicken and meat, I think it tastes much better.
Beef in Gan-Ma sauce: I loved this dish. Chucks of tender flavourful beef stewed with potato and fresh peanuts, garnished with coriander and green onion. Occasionally, a swift stab of heat from hidden chilis. The potato was perfect in its texture, and the taste of potatoes is accentuated by the beef. This dish is wonderful.
Geantes Green cabbage (Chou Chinois avec braisees a l"ail): this is how the dish is listed in the menu. They could use a proofreader! This turned out to be bok choi stirfried in garlic. Perfect! Wok Hai in full force, the bok choi is well-cooked and coated in a savoury white sauce redolent with garlic. A sign of how seriously this kitchen takes its food.
Overall, a delicious meal. These guys know how to cook! As we left, the server suggested we order from the Chinese menu next time. I am currently working on getting a translation of this menu, and my plan is to go and order whatever they will give me frmo the menu without knowing what it is. I trust this kitchen implicitly. I'd even try the General Tao!

Unalienable: not subject to being taken away and incapable of being given away.
Our Creator – God – gives us certain things – including life and liberty, happiness and health. And not only are these things not subject to being taken away, but they are actually incapable of being taken away, and even incapable of being given away! They're ours.
We have the God-given right to be free from disease, free from sadness, free from anything and everything that would restrict our ability to live a happy and fulfilling life.
Our Forefathers declared their freedom. They wrote a declaration of independence. In it they declared that "…these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free…" They declared that they ARE free, and that they should therefore BE free. They gave their consent to this fact in their thought first and declared it and then it was brought to pass.
Understanding that my Creator has made me free, in my prayers I declare my freedom -my freedom from lack, from disease, from harm, my freedom to think for myself, my freedom to worship, my freedom to be good and to do good, my freedom to feel loved and to be loving and kind.
You can declare your independence, your freedom, too !
The good in your life that God has given you is unalienable. May you experience it abundantly.
Happy Fourth of July !
From our DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
In the video below (take what you will from the brief commentary at the very end) I really like the wonderful images of our beautiful country – our "America the Beautiful" – especially the landscapes, many of which are from some of our national parks, which I enjoy visiting.

Does anybody know how to set up internet limits / access control on the 2wire i38HG - i3812V gateway router?
On my old Belkin router, I could limit my kid's IP addresses from accessing the internet between 10pm and 6am. This included all devices: PC and iTouch. And with the new 2wire system I can't find this setting in advance configuration.
I found the manual for the 2Wire i38HG - i3812V on the ATT website. http://www.att.com/support_media/images/pdf/uverse/iNIDv2_UG.pdf
and on page 66 it shows exactly what I need, but my gateway configuration does not have this option. The screen shot in the manual shows the Uverse and ATT logo, but nobody at ATT tech service knows about this setup or manual.
Is there different firmware out there to activate this menu?
The ATT tech service is not helpful. They can get me to totally block an IP address, but I just want to set a time limit.
The people at 2Wire said to talk to the people at ATT.
I am stumped!
Should I do a router behind a router? Has anyone done this?
I know I am not the only parent out there that wants this. You would think it would be standard on this new system.
Yes, I know that there are different software programs for PC's that will limit internet usage, but there is nothing for iTouch, iPads, or other tablets. And yes, I know I can take the items away at night.
Here are my particulars for my gateway:
System Information
Manufacturer 2Wire, Inc.
Model i3812V
Hardware Version 000705-004
Software Version 18.104.22.168-enh.tm
Wireless Access Point

I was recently told by an AT&T service tech that AT&T doesn't support configurations involving third party routers, which is what I had when he arrived for a service call. I had set up a linksys router/WAP to provide additional wireless device capacity in my home. The tech did, though, indicate that a simple router or hub was OK, so I may still be able to implement your suggestion if I turn off the WAP features of the linksys.
Like the original poster, I'm frustrated that AT&T doesn't provide native parental control support at the gateway. End user-based solutions are a pain to manage, and in some cases easy to circumvent, even in a home network!
Has anyone solved the parental control issue?
I have installed a Cisco router behind 2wire router which allow me to give access based on time of day. But my smart 16 year old son found a way around it. All he had to do was to reset the 2wire router passwd ( default passwd is edged on the box) and get himself access to 2wire.
My response was to turn off the wifi on 2wire router. He figured it out as well. I changed the IP address on 2wire router but he found the new IP address by connecting to the router by wire and did a ipconfig on his laptop.
I called Uverse support and asked them to send me a modem only box. I told them I do not want a router but they said they do not have such a box.
I have ran out of solutions. I am left with taking the 2Wire router every night before I go to bed or changing the provider. I do not like any of these solutions.
any idea?

Well, parental controls on routers and other Internet devices can always be bypassed or worked-around if someone has physical access to the hardware. To fully enforce the parental controls, you will have to place the 2Wire and your Cisco router in a physically locked closet, access area, or cabinet/enclosure.
I do not feel very comfortable giving out parental advice, but given that your son has willfully circimvented the access controls on three separate occasions, it is perhaps time to enforce the provisions via methods that are directed at your son and not at the routers.

If he is tech-savvy enough to get around the provisions through alternate methods, then the only possible solution is what I outlined above. You need to enforce physical security of the 2Wire and the Cisco router.
Basically what you can do is one of a few things:
1. If the 2Wire router and Cisco router are both in a room that your son doesn't need access to, then simply have a locksmith come put a good lock on the door to that room. You could also do the same thing if the routers are in a closet. Once they're physically secure, change passwords on both routers to something that only you know, and disable wireless on the 2Wire. Now all Internet traffic has to flow through the Cisco, which is subject to your parental controls.
2. If the routers aren't in a location like this, you may want to call AT&T and/or an IT company to come relocate the routers. They will charge you, of course. Relocate them to a closet or room where your son doesn't need to go, then have a locksmith install a lock on the door as in #1 above.
3. It would take some home craftsmanship, but you could build a security box out of wood. Some 2x4"s and 3/4" plywood could make a very sturdy box. Put a door on it with hinges, and drill a hole in it for wires. Put the 2Wire and Cisco routers inside, and then close the door and lock it. The only wires coming in are the VDSL wire and the two power adapters, the only wire going out is the coax for the DVR/STB units (if you have TV service) and/or the telephone wire for phones (if you have VOIP service).
4. You can get a Sentry Fire safe and do the same thing. The Sentry Fire safes are only a sheet metal box that has 2" of fiberglass insulation inside and then a plastic box inside that. It can be drilled through to make a hole for the wires. Just make sure to get one big enough to hold both the 2Wire and the Cisco.
5. This may work for you, maybe not. http://www.att.net/smartcontrols-InternetParentalControls#none These are the AT&T parental control features that support enforcing the provisions at the provider level rather than in your home. The disadvantage is that the software must be installed on each computer you own and works only for those computers. It won't help with wireless smartphones or borrowed/other computers/laptops.
Some notes on the two box solutions:
A. Heat. The 2Wire unit puts out a fair amount of heat. You might have to see about a fan to ventilate the box to prevent it from overheating. This isn't so bad to do if you build your own box, but might not work well with the Sentry Fire safe.
B. Wireless signal strength. Any box may weaken the wireless signal. If this happens, purchase a wireless access point and put it outside the box, and uplink it to the Cisco so that it's subject to parental controls. Turn the wireless of the Cisco router off if you use this method.
This is all I can think of that enforces your parental controls with U-Verse. A final possibility is:
6. Look for another Internet provider where the parental controls can be enforced at the provider's end. There are some local smaller cable and DSL companies that provide this service, but it's totally dependent on what's available in your area.
AT&T should be ashamed of themselves. I have the same issue, went through the same steps with the same result - after 45 minutes and being passed from one agent to the next; Tech Support was clueless. The finally passed me to AT&T Connect who offered to help me after I pay a one time charge of $49, or sign up for a monthly $15 for ongoing support. Afterwhich I thanked the Rep who I knew would be clueless as well after a few minutes of discussing my issue with her, and hung up. So, as you, I now must reach out the "community" (i.e. AT&T Customers, who are left fending for themselves since. BTW, you have to have the patienc e of a saint to weed through all of AT&Ts FAQ "bloatwear" on the subject. I tried, and ended up with nothing to show for my efforts. A total waste of time.

I am not that internet savy, but I realize that the uverse router is not allowing me to setup parental controls.
I would like to find out the easiest way to do it.
Do you think AT&T will give me a different router for uverse?
Or should I buy one from frys electronics and connect it to the current uverse router?
I am afraid of messing up the whole thing and not having internet access at all.

The U-verse RG firmware does not have parental controls built in to it. If you wish to have parental controls on your Internet access, then you'll need to either (1) install software on each PC, or (2) acquire your own router that has the parental controls you seek and install it behind the RG using the instructions from post 2 in this thread.
I'm cancelling my uverse. Parental controls are not just for teens who may have a moment of weakness, but for small kids who can inadvertently get on stuff you don't want them to. This is insane. Leaving the internet open is like leaving the gun cabinet open ( I don't have a gun cabinet). By the time you find out it didn't work, it's invaded you home. Insane. Cancel. There are other providers, and you'll be happier in the long run.
AT&T actually provides Internet Parental Security software, but it only runs on PCs. Installing your own router is an easy thing to do and gives you whatever control you're willing to purchase in a router.
Cancel your U-verse if you want, but before you sign up for your next provider, I'd suggest you ask them about their Parental Controls for their Internet service.
Ridiculous Uverse does not have parental controls. I specifically asked AT&T this question before I switched to uverse for internet and was told yes they do have parental controls. Then I discover after service install that the AT&T parental control software is not even available anymore to download. Extremely disappointed AT&T!!!! Guess I will try to figure out the router behind router set up. This sucks.

Running Asterisk As Non-root
I found a page that assisted in running asterisk as non-root.
My question is why is the default install not more friendly in this manner???
I mean basically the instructions changed the permissions to allow GROUP
write, so 775 instead of 755 and changed the astrun to be a directory
Why doesn't the default install do this? Seems logical to me. I installed

Hardware-software design of a smart sensor for fully-electronic DNA hybridization detection
This paper describes the design of a smart sensor for label-free detection of DNA hybridization. The sensor is based on a direct electrical transduction principle: it measures impedance variation at the interface between a bio-functionalized electrode and a solution containing the analyte. The smart sensor includes a complete signal conditioning and processing subsystem based on an embedded it-controller We outline the sensor architecture, and we describe in details board-level integration as well as hardware and software implementation and design choices. The accuracy of our embedded solution has been evaluated by comparing it with a high-cost laboratory setup. Moreover, we provide measurements of real sensing structures which demonstrate infield the functionality of our system.
