GUAGNZHOU, China, Dec. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
GUAGNZHOU, China, Dec. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --China's first 4K Cantonese Opera movie 'Madam White Snake - The Affection' started filming in Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong Province, on Dec. 26, 2017. This is also the first 4K traditional Chinese opera movie in China.
On Dec. 26, the launching ceremony of 'Madam White Snake - The Affection' and 4K film industry chain was held by Zhujiang Film Group. Shen Haixiong, a standing committee member of the CPC Guangdong provincial committee and head of Guangdong's publicity department, Yuan Baocheng, vice governor of Guangdong, inaugurated the shooting at the ceremony.
Also, Zhujiang Film Group issued its development plan for 4K film industry chain. The statistics show that Guangdong owns the largest market for Chinese film consumption, accounting for one in seven of the country's box office takings each year. In recent years, Chinese consumers spend more on 4K films, while most 4K film sources are still imported.
"Guangdong should introduce and create more excellent programs, to make the province into a filmmaking and trade center for 4K film in China," said Shen at the Guangdong's 4K TV pilot program launching ceremony on Dec. 23, "We should discover and use our strengths to confirm the cultural confidence."
Based on the background of West Lake in Hangzhou, 'Madame White Snake' is a household love legend in China. The new adaption 'Madam White Snake - The Affection' is a key opera created and promoted by Guangdong Cantonese Opera Institute in recent years. Zeng Xiaomin, China's prominent young Cantonese Opera performing artist, acts the leading role in the opera with superb performances, because of which she won the Chinese Drama Plum Blossom Award, China's top award for drama.
According to Cai Fuqing, the chairman of Zhujiang Film Group, it is an initiative move to develop excellent traditional Chinese culture with advanced technology to establish 4K film industry chain and produce 4K Cantonese Opera movie. It helps Guangdong to take the lead in building a complete 4K film industry chain in the country.
On Dec. 23, Guangdong launched the 4K TV pilot program, the Guangdong 4K Television Program Production Center and Guangdong 4K Movie Program Production Center were established on the same occasion.
It is said that Zhujiang Film Group will partner with China Aerospace Construction Group, China Research Institute of Film Science & Technology and will introduce world-leading technology for 4K filmmaking in future.
Looking back at the history of China's film, we can see the convergence of traditional Chinese opera and movie:
In 1905, China's first home-made Peking Opera movie 'Dingjun Mountain' was released in Beijing, starring Tan Xinpei;
In 1948, China's first color Peking Opera movie 'Remorse at Death' was born in Shanghai, starring Mei Lanfang;
In late 1953, China's first color Shaoxing Opera movie 'The Butterfly Lovers' completed filming in Shanghai, starring Yuan Xuefen and Fan Ruijuan;
In late 2017, China's first 4K traditional Chinese opera movie 'Madam White Snake - The Affection' started filming in Guangzhou, starring Zeng Xiaomin.

The hills were completely shrouded in mist, traces of which drifted eerily over the still water and a great spotted woodpecker was clearly visible amongst the trees on the far bank. I passed the decorative wooden carving of Branwell Bronte, who worked for a spell at a nearby railway station, as the sun emerged and began to burn away the mist to reveal the dark hillside. Unkempt sheep nibbled at the frosty grass as a flotilla of Canada geese drifted by. Having many times walked the towpath when unruly weeds choked several stretches of the water, it is a joy to see the fruits of years of dedicated restoration work.
I watched the brook, which flows through Luddenden Dene, pass under the canal a short distance before it meets the river Calder. The river, once badly polluted, mainly as a result of discharges from former dyeworks, is now much cleaner; evidenced by the re-introduction of eels and the existence of kingfishers.

Ask anyone what are the biggest sins of our age and idol worship probably wouldn't even make the list.
In a society awash in sexual immorality and materialism, bowing down before idols seems to be a most antiquated sin—the sort of thing you read about in the Old Testament, or early accounts of Christians who were forced to choose between martyrdom and sacrificing to the Roman gods. But in the modern era, believing too readily in something doesn't seem to be the problem. Rather, not believing in anything at all seems to be the chief ailment of our age.
So when Pope Francis decried the "idolatry of money" in his new apostolic exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium, no doubt many readers found his remarks bizarre and bewildering. Surely all those Wall Street traders are not whisking home to sacrifice goats to statues of Pluto?
Yet the gospel writers, St. Paul, and many of the Church Fathers would heartily agree with Francis' warnings on idolatry. How can this be?
Idolatry as the ultimate sin
When we think of idolatry in the Bible, the classic image that leaps to mind is that of the ancient Israelites, worshipping a golden calf while Moses was speaking with God on the mountain—a brazen violation of the first of the Ten Commandments which they had just been given. The New Testament writers, however, expanded upon the idea of idolatry implicit in the Hebrew Scriptures, inspiring many of the Church Fathers to link idolatry with all sorts of sins that modern minds might not associate with it.
Tertullian, a father of the late first and early second century, called idolaters murderers, adulterers, and liars. "Further, you may recognize in the same crime adultery and fornication; for he who serves false gods is doubtless an adulterer of truth, because all falsehood is adultery," Tertullian wrote. Other Church Fathers made similar connections. St. Polycarp warned that those who did not keep themselves from the sin of covetousness would be "defiled by idolatry." St. John Chrysostom referred to the idolatry of greed at least at least forty times in his homilies.
Such comments are firmly rooted in Scripture. For example, in Colossians 3:5, Paul declared greed or covetousness as "the service of idols." This is repeated in Ephesians 5:5, "Be sure of this, that no immoral or impure or greedy person, that is, an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God."
So how exactly did we get from the idolatry of the golden calf to the idolatry of greed and covetousness?
For Tertullian, idolatry was at the root of the other sins: "After such crimes, so pernicious, so devouring of salvation, all other crimes also, after some manner, and separately disposed in order, find their own essence represented in idolatry." Tertullian's comments reflect an inner unity in the Ten Commandments. In a sense, each of the other sins listed, stems from the first one—"You shall not have strange gods before me" and "You shall not make for yourself a graven image." Indeed, as Pope Benedict XVI observed in Jesus of Nazareth, following the second half of the Decalogue—those that deal with love of neighbor—implies following the first half about loving and honoring God.
Again, the question probably remains for many of us: How do you get from sacrificing to idols to sneaking around with someone else's wife? To answer this, we need to take a closer look at some of the individual New Testament verses where this issue is raised.
Idolatry as desire
First, there is the idolatry that is connected with illicit desires, such as greed or covetousness mentioned in the verses above. So what should we desire most? In Psalm 42, we read, "As the deer longs for streams of water, so my soul longs for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, the living God." In Psalm 84, the author tells us, "My soul yearns and pines for the courts of the Lord. My heart and flesh cry out for the living God." The Douay-Rheims translation of Psalm 119:20 takes this idea even further, "My soul hath coveted to long for thy justifications, at all times."
Anything that we desire more than God has become an idol for us, Scripture says. For example, In Philippians 3:19, St. Paul writes of sinners that, "Their God is their stomach. … Their minds are occupied with earthly things." And Christ Himself in Matthew 6:24 warns us, "No one can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." (Mammon is an Aramaic term for wealth.)
These verses, particularly the last, indicate that the objects of sinful desires can become so powerful that we render them the kind of unconditional and all-encompassing obedience that is properly due to God alone. As Chrysostom said in one of his homilies, anticipating the objections of his congregation:
But 'you do not bow the knee or worship.' Nay, but with great obedience you do all that they command you, whether it be your belly, or money, or the tyranny of lust. Why this is just what the Gentiles are disgusting in, that they make gods of the passions; calling lust Venus, and anger Mars, and drunkenness Bacchus.
Thus, when we make our desires our idols, the sin of idolatry also takes the form of disobedience to God. In the encyclical Lumen Fidei, Pope Benedict XVI (the likely main author) sees idolatry as a pretext for putting ourselves at the center of our own realities. The path of idolatry, the encyclical warns, ends in the desolation and dissolution of sinful desires:
Once man has lost the fundamental orientation which unifies his existence, he breaks down into the multiplicity of his desires; in refusing to await the time of promise, his life-story disintegrates into a myriad of unconnected instants. Idolatry, then, is always polytheism, an aimless passing from one lord to another. Idolatry does not offer a journey but rather a plethora of paths leading nowhere and forming a vast labyrinth.
Idolatry as trust
Lumen Fidei identifies idolatry as the "opposite of faith." This can be seen in the classic Old Testament instance of idolatry mentioned above. "While Moses is speaking to God on Sinai, the people cannot bear the mystery of God's hiddenness, they cannot endure the time of waiting to see his face," Pope Benedict XVI writes. Because they cannot endure the wait, the Israelites turn to the golden calf.
In Matthew 6, Jesus implicitly connects idolatry with a lack of faith in God. Immediately after making His declaration on mammon, Jesus calls us to trust God completely:
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they? … Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from the way the wild flowers grow. They do not work or spin. But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them. If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith?
The sin of idolatry
We now are in a position to offer a better definition of idolatry—one theologically richer than simply saying something about bowing down and sacrificing to statues. An idol is anything that becomes the ultimate object of desire and source of security in our lives. In other words, an idol is anything that we substitute for God in our lives. (Please see below note on the source of this definition.)
To return to that Wall Street trader, we can now see how easily he is at risk of falling into the trap of idolatry, regardless of whether he has that statue of Pluto and chained goat waiting for him at home. No doubt, many of us, not just the trader, are tempted to idolize money in some way, either as something we desire greatly or as a source of security in our lives.
To describe this as idolatry is not theological hyperbole. It puts such sin in proper perspective, helping us to see how the pursuit of money—as well as material possessions, pleasures, power, and temporal sources of security—can become so monstrous as to become a form of idol worship. Such a message is an indeed timely one as we reflect on what matters most to us during this Christmas season.
Note: In formulating this definition of idolatry, I must acknowledge a particular debt to my father, Greg Beale. The definition offered above is adapted from his book on idolatry, titled We Become What We Worship: A Biblical Theology of Idolatry. Within the book, an idol is variously defined as "whatever your heart clings to … for ultimate security" and "[w]hatever is substituted for God as an object of desire" (pages 17 and 166, respectively).

In the scorching heat of the Southwestern desert, a frightened old man knows his time is quickly running out . . . as the lethal secret he protects can be hidden no longer.
Risa Sheridan knows everything about gold—its mysteries, its allure, its perils. Her boss, Shane Tannahill—owner of the ultra-successful Las Vegas gambling mecca, the Golden Fleece—is addicted to the stuff. Now an ancient Celtic piece is being offered to Shane for his collection, with the promise of more to come, and the casino owner is hooked. But though she shares Shane's enthusiasm, Risa is wary—because something about this particular artifact is mysterious and troubling, something that says "stay away." It is a voice that should be heeded, because soon people are dying all around them. And whether it's an ancient curse that has taken hold of their lives or the simple, murderous greed of unscrupulous adversaries, there is suddenly no place in the surreal, blinding glitter of Vegas for Risa and Shane to hide . . .
The most dazzling, spine-tingling combination of adventure, thrills, and sensuality yet from the gold standard in contemporary suspense fiction.

I really like this, like the contrasts and extremes, but find it extremely creepy at the same time. Just...having someone do something like that to you, rape to me, (even if it's part of hirs touch of OCD and sie effectively can't help it) and letting hir get away with it suggests an (extreme) imbalance in the relationship. I'm all for BDSM (and this was a lot like that, what with the "fe[eling] used and hollow" and acceptance, like getting into subspace), but two of its tenets are being consensual and being safe (not causing undue harm, even, and perhaps especially, if it's mental).
Do you find this creepy? Or does it have another message/emotion to you?
The last two lines are a bit understated and somewhat clichéd to be extremely effective. I actually think that even just removing those lines would be perfect- the two paragraphs preceding those lines say the exact same thing, but they show it, don't tell it. The new last line would be a good, slightly ironic, ending, since it uses warm/soft/caring language (like at the beginning), despite all the violence in the middle of the story (from both characters' perspectives- Mihangel, obviously, but Jamie also considers "beating [Mihangel} until that...skin was nothing but one big, ugly bruise").
Thank you

This story is beautiful- but sad. It's amazingly written, though, and as it's said in restaurants, 'Compliments to the creator'. Or chef or whatever. Anyway, this story had so much power... so much intensity and emotion, I could almost feel what Jamie was feeling. I'm adding it to my favorites [:

Searching the internet I found people having similar issues and setting

Instead looking at samples and playing around I found out that

My question: According to decode method's javadoc I cannot see any logical reason or hint why I have to use "binary" and not the actual encoding of the content. So why the hell do I have to use "binary"? I don't understand that.Code:

Adriana Lima Gets Us To Admit That 'Soccer' Is the Real 'Football' in KIA Commercial (Video)
Cristiano Ronaldo Throws a Football Like You Would Expect at the Jets Practice Facility (Video)
Uh, Cristiano Ronaldo? All you other Portuguese gentlemen? I know you're having a very nice time at the New York Jets training facility, but it's about that time. Time for the 2014 World Cup. Let's go, fellas.
Why Portugal's soccer team was training at a football facility in New Jersey is anyone's guess. Maybe they're finding their way to Brazil on the installment plan. Who knows. But they were there, and while they were, they practiced, and Cristiano Ronaldo—perhaps confused by Adriana Lima's commercial—started tossing around the ole' pigskin.
And he sucks. Not so bad that you're like, "well, he's clearly never even SEEN a football before." But bad enough that you're like, "he's done this a few times, but he's still terrible."
Fortunately, he is a pretty good soccer player, so he's got a sport to fall back on. And probably a baker's dozen supermodels to fall back on as well.

Like every Friday, from Raj Nallari and Breda Griffith's lecture notes.
Micro-finance institutions
Commercial banks, credit unions, governments, private sector, including small non-governmental organizations, are all involved in providing small finance. In recent years, MFIs, such as Grameen Bank, also offer deposit taking facilities, saving schemes, pensions, and micro-insurance products. MFIs have been successful in some countries as they have focused on lending to women by using peer collateral and monitoring systems. Most of microfinance is for urban and rural activities, such as dairy farming, setting up grocery shops, bamboo-making and weaving, tailoring, rickshaw driving, etc.
Reliable data is not available but an advocacy group based in USA called Microcredit Summit Campaign estimates that number of MFIs has increased from 78 agencies serving 9 million customers in 2000 to over 420 agencies serving about 64 million customers. In a large number of cases, the MFIs are subsidized through financial grants by governments, international donors, private philantrophy, including by commercial banks in the name of corporate social responsibility. Therefore, there is an issue of financial sustainability of MFIs and whether 'subsidized' MFIs are crowding out sustainable MFIs (which are more efficiently managed). Several studies also suggest that the poorest, particularly poor women, seldom benefit from micro-credit, while the middle and upper poor benefit the most. The poorest 10-15 per cent of the population is largely excluded from micro-credit programs. Moreover, interest rates on micro-finance are relatively high in the range of 20-35% per year or more in most low income developing countries. Particularly higher is the interest rate charged if microcredit is operated by private sector entities. This is justified on the basis that transaction costs are high for doing such business and there is a risk premium involved (despite the fact that the poor have higher repayment loans than richer segments of the population)
The impact of micro-credit alone on women's status and gender equity is limited. Most women borrowers have only partial control over loans, or have relinquished all control to male members of the family. This has serious implications for the impact of gender equity. However, this is not to say benefits are non-existent. As part of a broader effort to raise awareness and mobilize women, credit could play an important role as an "entry point" to strengthen women's networks and mobility, increase their knowledge and self-confidence, and increase their status in the family. Participatory appraisal may have an important contribution to make to improved monitoring of the impact of micro-credit on women's empowerment.
Financial Gender Gap. There are several other issues related to differential impact on men and women because of the behavioral aspects, structure of financing and availability of credit. In summary,
- Women are observed to more risk averse than men. For example, women are found to be less likely to invest their pension contributions or take large loans in part due to lack of collateral assets, such as land, but also due to additional social responsibilities, such as providing security to children, or due to lower earnings of women relative to men, or lacking skills in financial planning or women are perceived to be high-risk clients for large loans and therefore do not have access to large loans.
- Economic expansion, credit availability, and financial sector widening go together in developing countries. However, there is adequate evidence that credit primarily goes to large conglomerates in most developing countries (e.g. Mauritania, and Mexico) and to a lesser extent to men, and least of all to women, who get residual credit. The reasons for this situation is that women have little or no collateral assets to obtain credit and modern land registration and titling practices generally fail to recognize traditionally gendered forms of asset ownership.
- Women in particular need training, marketing, literacy, social mobilization, and other financial services (e.g., consumption loans, savings) in addition to micro-credit for ensuring success. More importantly, women could enormously benefit from micro-insurance schemes that aim to cushion against risks related to health, agricultural commodity shocks, and small business ownership (and little is understood and micro-insurance is a neglected subject)

Can Vaginal Cancer Be Found Early?
Some cases of vaginal cancer can be found early. They may produce symptoms that cause patients to seek medical attention, but many vaginal cancers do not cause symptoms until after they have reached an advanced stage. Pre-cancerous areas of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN) do not usually produce any symptoms. Still, well-woman exams and cervical cancer screening can sometimes find cases of VAIN and early invasive vaginal cancer.

…on Darwin's historical influence
Ben Stein says …
Darwinism led – in a pretty much straight line – to Nazism and the Holocaust. – quoted by Ken Ham, Crosswalk, April 15, 2008
and Matt Crawford replies
Evolution is not racist … people are. Was there racism before the theory of evolution? Why, yes, there was. To be fair, evolution did allow people to justify their own racism by providing a potential biological (rather than social or institutional) argument for racial inequalities. But again, that's people, not evolution. In a massive stretch of credulity, these same creationists argue that the Bible teaches all men are created equal, and thus actively argues against racism. However, the Bible itself was used as justification for slavery, the "civilization" of the "godless" native "savages." This isn't the Bible, or religion, or evolution, but people. People justify their beliefs and social reality by grasping anything that confirms those views. Without evolution, Hitler still would have killed millions and managed to justify it some other way.
Ben Stein says …
Darwinism is not a sufficient condition for the Holocaust, but it is a necessary condition. – quoted in Florida Baptist Witness, February 28, 2008
and Carrie Snider replies
Virtually any theory can be used for harm. Just as an immoral businessman can use economic theories to bring financial ruin to his competitors, an immoral political leader can use an evolutionary theory to bring evil to his fellow human beings; but this does not disprove the theory.
Let's consider what it would mean if Darwin's theory were a necessary component to the Nazi regime's power, and the resulting murders. Here are a few things which were necessary to the Holocaust and which, I suggest, are therefore discreditable by Ben Stein's criterion:
· Government
· Brains
· Leaders
· Language
· Thumbs
· Labor
· Money
· Weaponry
· Buildings
· Military
· Transportation
· Numerical systems
· Medicine
· Anatomy
Whether or not something is a "necessary component" of a deeply tragic event says nothing about whether that thing is useful, much less whether it is true.
Ben Stein says …
Well, the issue with that Darwinism, which is a brilliant theory, and a great, great relic of the Age of Imperialism in the 19th century, basically said that mankind evolved from apes, and monkeys, and primitive cells, and so forth. – interview on The O'Reilly Factor, October 22, 2007
and a student of history replies
"Darwinism," or more properly evolution, is no more a relic of imperialism than any other scientific discovery in the nineteenth century. Historically speaking, imperialism, in particular British imperialism, was part of a long process that did not begin or end during the nineteenth century. Scottish scientist James Clerk Maxwell's equations describe the behavior and relation of electric and magnetic fields in 1864. That was in the same era of "Darwinism" and British imperialism. Eventually, his equations led to the development of sonar and radio equipment. This was the same technology the British used in wars for the expansion and maintenance of the Empire. So are Maxwell's equations also a "relic of imperialism"?
Ben Stein says …
Hitler was a lineal descendent of Darwin. – interview on Hannity & Colmes, April 11, 2008
and Benjamin C., tongue firmly in cheek, replies
For the record, Darwin had ten children, born from 1839 to 1856. Hitler's father was born in 1837, and his mother was born in 1860. Hitler's father was born before any of Darwin's children, and Hitler's mother was not Darwin's granddaughter.

Is the > implementation cost of case normalisation + resolving against a base > URI really that high? Is there something I'm missing here? I'm not speaking for HTML5 folks in general--just for myself. Requiring colonless rel tokens to expand to URI before comparison would not work for me, because allowing "http://iana.org/whatever-the-registry-url-is/stylesheet " and "stylesheet" as synonyms in future UAs would be gratuitously incompatible with existing UAs that look for "stylesheet" only. In short, my opinion is what I said at TPAC: If people who want to mine HTML documents for data in order to put it into an RDF process want to see rel values through URI-tinted glasses, that's fine. They can check if the rel value contains a colon and if not prepend a fixed string. However, requiring everyone else to process rel values that way is not fine. -- Henri Sivonen email@example.com http://hsivonen.iki.fi/Received on Wednesday, 11 February 2009 09:20:37 UTC

NEW YORK -- Three weeks ago, Chris Kreider was a champion. With Boston College, the 6-foot-3, 230-pound winger helped the Eagles to their fifth NCAA title as the NHL regular season was coming to a close. Three days later, he signed with the Rangers, who drafted him 19th overall in 2009, and joined the top team in the Eastern Conference for a playoff run, getting acquainted with new teammates, a new coach and New York City.
It all seems like ages ago now to the 20-year-old from Boxford, Mass. A veteran of all of six NHL games, the rookie has impressed since making his debut in Game 3 of New York's first-round series against Ottawa. In Game 1 of the Rangers' series against the Capitals, Kreider took his turn as Broadway's hero, scoring the game-winner at Madison Square Garden as the Rangers beat the Capitals 3-1.
With the stingy game knotted at 1-1 through the first two periods, the rookie caught a stretch pass from center Derek Stepan. With Capitals defenseman Mike Green skating to his bench, looking for a change, Kreider saw the open ice. He was on the end of a long shift, nearing a minute on ice, and he was feeling it. He didn't have many options, and so he gained the zone with impressive acceleration, which created even more space for him, and he blasted a slapshot past Capitals goalie Braden Holtby.
"The minute I got [the puck], I was thinking to try and take that to the net, but I had to pull up because I was tired," he said with a laugh. "So I just tried to get it on net."
In his sixth NHL game, Kreider scored his second goal of the playoffs, his second game-winner. But unlike the goal he scored in Game 6 against the Senators, which put the Rangers up 3-1, his score Saturday afternoon effectively changed the game.
Just 1:30 later, New York center Brad Richards cushioned the lead. Keeping the puck deep in Washington's zone with strong play against the half-wall, Richards regained the puck right below the circles and walked in on Holtby. Seeing few options for passes, he fired a quick and low shot that gave the Rangers a two-goal lead.
Richards may have made that goal, his third of the postseason, look easy, but in fact, the chances throughout the game didn't come that easy for either team. Through two periods, the Rangers and Capitals put up a paltry 21 shots on net combined.
"Defensive priority is No. 1," Rangers winger Ruslan Fedotenko said. "I felt like Washington played a similar game. They kept everything to the outside."
The tight defense, the grinding games both teams employ, may make for perhaps less-than-thrilling hockey for some, but it fired up the Garden faithful. A second-period penalty kill ignited the crowd as much as a winning goal. With Rangers defenseman Marc Staal in the box, center Brandon Prust took a boarding penalty that gave the Capitals a 5-on-3 advantage for 34 seconds. The subsequent kill, particularly the play of Fedotenko, who led the Rangers with two takeaways and three blocked shots, helped create the energy that was really rather absent in a dull first period. And it wasn't long before that energy turned into offense.
Despite getting no shots on Holtby through the first half of the second period, New York managed to open the scoring at 12:38. Fedotenko charged into the zone with speed and strength, taking the puck into the corner and finding support from linemate Artem Anisimov behind the net. And even with Green draped over him like a bad suit, Anisimov barreled around the cage and found a hole through Holtby. It was the team's seventh shot of the game, second of the period.
The Capitals answered before the period was through, scoring an equalizer in the closing moments. Rushing down ice with a 3-on-2 advantage, Washington center Brooks Laich feathered a pass right onto the tape of Jason Chimera. The winger fired the puck through Henrik Lundqvist's legs as the clock stopped with just 3.5 seconds left. It was the kind of goal that could have easily deflated New York, but the Rangers instead relied on patience.
"We kept within ourselves and played our game," coach John Tortorella said. "It's going to be a grind, and we found a way to win one."
After the game, Kreider sat in his stall, wearing the Broadway hat, a felt fedora awarded to the Rangers' player of the game. Surrounded by cameras and microphones, the youngster was visibly uncomfortable, maybe a little nervous while peppered with questions for 15 minutes. This was the hard part; the stuff on the ice seemed to come pretty easy.
A champion three weeks ago, Kreider hopes to again be a champ six weeks from now.

TV Gord Reviews A to Z
In these jaded times, there's something refreshing about watching a romantic comedy that intends to follow a relationship from its very beginning through all of its ups and downs…from A to Z. It helps to have to engaging, familiar faces in the roles of Andrew and Zelda. It's also enjoyable to hear Katey Sagal (Sons of Anarchy) narrating their tale. Even if …
TV Gord Reviews Black-ish
It sometimes can be frustrating to review a series based solely on the pilot. That's what I found while watching Black-ish. The first episode tries a little too hard to set up the basic premise for the series, which revolves around the frustration of an African-American father who is raising his children in a predominantly white community while trying to …

Sam Amick looks at the future of Rajon Rondo and the Boston Celtics now that the point guard has returned.
On the eve of Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo's long-awaited return from knee surgery, it was only fitting that his former teammates were so far away.
Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce fielded questions from reporters in London, where their Brooklyn Nets were still trekking on the long road back from a tough start.
In Boston, where Rondo will have to get used to this foreign feeling of rebuilding that was never part of his Celtics experience before his injury, it's safe to assume he wasn't feeling a tinge of sympathy. Almost a year after Rondo played through a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee on a Friday and didn't succumb to the damning diagnosis until two days later, he's expected to return Friday against the Celtics' historic rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers.
Let the culture shock begin.
RONDO: His two-hour D-League stint
TRADE: Celtics deal other point guard
The 27-year-old four-time All-Star is a pass-first, defend-always, win-most-of-the-time player who was left behind by the former co-workers who saw the championship end in sight. Former coach and close friend Doc Rivers jumped at the chance to coach the Los Angeles Clippers during the summer, and the door was opened for Garnett (who waived his no-trade clause) and Paul Pierce to be traded to Brooklyn by a general manager in Danny Ainge who made the tough call to cut almost every cord within reach.
Now here's Rondo in their wake — part-franchise centerpiece, part-potential trade piece. Next month, as Rondo adjusts to a team that has lost 12 of its last 14 games, will be very interesting.
The Celtics always have said they want him to be part of their future, and there's no urgency because Rondo has this season and next on his contract, for a combined $25 million.
But if Rondo is able to look like himself again, to shine amid players like Jeff Green, Avery Bradley and Jared Sullinger while maybe even helping the Celtics creep back into the Eastern Conference playoff race, then the trade calls from other teams will keep coming more with every passing day and Ainge will have yet another tough choice to make. The sale price would be high, of course, but no one — save for that LeBron James guy in Miami — is untradeable.
First things first, though. How much rust will Rondo have? How will he react to the likely losing and the fact that the talent pool that surrounds him doesn't compare to what it was before? Will the bro-mance that seems to exist between he and first-year coach Brad Stevens remain if and when times get tough? All things that remain to be seen.
Rondo is back, all right, but the basketball world around him has changed. It's not London, but it's not the Boston of old either.

HTTP/HTTPS Proxies
With more and more applications becoming web-based, it's not unusual to have to break out an HTTP/HTTPS proxy for troubleshooting when issues come up. Packet traces are okay, and sometimes it's necessary to get down to that level, but often I just want to see the Request and Response headers as they are transmitted back and forth. Proxies which allow me to see the headers are great for troubleshooting at this level. Case in point, I was troubleshooting a web application last week where the web client was not sending a Request header to the server as expected. This involved a problem downloading a .PDF document over an SSL connection. Ultimately, a modification to the cache-control header was required.
When it comes time to do pen-testing, proxies that allow the Request header to be modified are valuable tools. Even if a developer uses POST to try and "hide" or "control" what is going back to the server, such a proxy allows an attacker to easily manipulate the Request header to send back whatever data is desired. Truth be told, a quickly modified web page can do the same, but that requires a teeny bit more work. The point is that if an application can't handle a manipulated request properly, the owner of that application has a problem. A recent case of this involves PayMaxx, who shut down its online W2 services after a customer demonstrated he could get to other W2s in the system simply by changing an ID number. As a matter of fact, modifying values for the Request field is one of the "tests" in OWASP's WebGoat application. WebGoat is a teaching tool designed to show web application weaknesses by allowing an individual to learn about and then practice exploiting a weakness.
The only reason I bring this up is as I was cycling through the blogs I keep track of, I found a new HTTP proxy tool, Fiddler. It looks like it allows some scripting and has a nice interface. I'll have to play with it some more. One thing it does not do, as of yet, is support HTTPS. The proxy I use is Achilles, which does support HTTPS. It also allows me to change the Request header, etc., and it's the one I used in my troubleshooting that .PDF download over SSL.

Creating System Catalog Reports
12c Release 2 (188.8.131.52.0)
June 2014
This guide provides an end-to-end example for how to use Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center.
A System Catalog Report provides information about the current state of the selected operating system. A System Catalog Report lists the current catalog of one or more systems. A system catalog contains a list of operating system software components that are installed on a managed system. Catalogs provide the capability to directly manipulate the installed software components on a single operating system or a group of operating systems.
After an operating system is available and selected, you can view and modify the catalogs, and create historical catalogs. Historical catalogs are snapshots of the system. The software automatically takes a snapshot of the operating system after running a job on the operating system, including when you discover and manage the operating system. A snapshot is stored as a catalog with the time stamp and job details after every update job that you run on a system.
You can create a new catalog at any time and use it to record the state of a system. Catalogs enables us to rollback our system to any previous configuration or to create a profile. With this profile you can apply a consistent configuration throughout our datacenter.
The System Catalog reports on the installed patch state of operating system instances. Unlike the other report types, these are not run from the Reports drawer of the Navigation pane. They are generated and run from the Assets drawer of Navigation pane. The System Catalog Report shows all the patches, packages or RPMs that are installed on an operating system.
See Related Articles and Resources for links to report information and other examples.
This example shows you how to create a System Catalog Report on an Oracle Solaris operating system. You can view the report in an interactive view and the report result in PDF format.
You need the following before you can create a System Catalog Report:
A discovered and agent-managed Oracle Solaris 10 operating system.
Report administrator to create and complete the procedure for System Catalog Report.
The following steps define the procedure to successfully create a System Catalog Report on Oracle Solaris 10.
Navigate to the Assets drawer of Navigation pane and select an asset.
Click the System Catalog Report link from the Update section of the Actions pane.
The System Catalog Report wizard is displayed.
Define the following report parameters, then click Next.
Report Name: The name of the report.
Description: A description of the report.
Schedule: Select Create Schedule to schedule the report.
Output Format: Select PDF as the output format of the report result.
Select Targets: The selected asset is displayed in the Add to Target List.
Select Now to generate the report, then click Next to display the Summary.
Click Run and Close to run the report.
When the report completes, the results appear in a pop-up page.
After the report is generated, the Report Results pane lets you do the following:
Save the report result as a template: you can save the report as a template for future use.
Rerun the report: you can rerun the report to view the changes.
Extract a profile for the target: you can create an OS Update profile with the available patches/packages.
You can view the report from the Report Results section of the center pane. You can select a report and click PDF or CSV to view and export the report result. The figure below displays the PDF output of the report result.
You can view the report interactively. The View Interactive option enables you to view the generated report in detail. Report result displays the Report name, Report type, Run Date, Status, Targets of the Report, OS updates applicable to selected targets. Report parameters show the target name, product name, description. You can save the report as a template and also rerun the report.
Double-click the report in the Report Results section of the center pane to display the details of the generated System Catalog Report. It details out the summary of the report result and the detailed report result displaying the OS updates applicable to the selected targets.

ANCHORAGE (AP) -- The Alaska Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday on whether the state should have to pay for medically advised abortions for poor women.
The state is appealing a lower court ruling in which a judge determined that the state's policy discriminated against poor women.
The case was brought by Planned Parenthood of Alaska and two local doctors who say the loss of state aid for abortions has adversely affected their low-income patients.
''The state may not use the power of its purse to interfere with the power of reproductive choice. It can't use the power of its purse to discourage abortion,'' ACLU attorney Louise Melling told the court.
The state stopped paying for abortions for low-income women in 1998 after the Legislature cut off funding by ending a medical program that paid for them. It instituted another program that barred most abortions.
''The state may choose not to fund these abortions when she exercises her right to abort. That can be done without violating the Alaska Constitution,'' Assistant Attorney General Lisa Kirsch said.
Superior Court Judge Sen Tan ruled that the policy is unconstitutional because it discriminates against pregnant women who choose not to give birth. Tan said if the Legislature opts to provide medical care for pregnant poor women, then it can't favor women who decide to deliver over those who seek a therapeutic abortion.
The judge in July ordered the state to start paying for 17 months of outstanding claims within 90 days.
Jennifer Rudinger, executive director of the Alaska Civil Liberties Union, said the state has paid nearly all the outstanding claims, but there's the question of those filed since.
''Whatever way they rule, it will affect poor people around Alaska,'' she said.
The court gave no indication when it would rule.
The state paid for 843 abortions in the 1997 fiscal year before the Legislature's action effectively barring abortion payments except in cases where pregnancies result from incest or rape, or where an abortion is necessary to save the life of the mother.

It's almost all melted, but we're still freezing our asses off. I can't blame the neighbours for already putting up their Xmas lights, my husband was rummaging around in the basement yesterday looking for ours.

"Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one."
I take guitar lessons and last week, my instructor started playing "Joy to the World". I point blank stared at him and said "Could we hold off on the Christmas music until after Hallowe'en? We're not Walmart, ya know." He couldn't teach for about 5 minutes he was laughing so hard.

Don't get me wrong I love Christmas songs and carols but holy cow at least wait until there's snow on the ground and a frosty nip in the air. Too much too soon IMO
"Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one."
First, I must say, "It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas" is one of my personal favorite holiday songs. Right up there with "I'll Be Home for Christmas" . Really.
But I am frustrated that while I was shopping for Halloween candy I had to go past Christmas decorations and wrapping paper and big inflatable Santas, and, yep, CANDY :rolleyes) to get to it.
On the other hand, it just started sleeting in Upstate NY, so I guess it IS time to at least start shopping- I'm personally handmaking all my gifts this year, but need to buy material. (Oh, and before you go and start thinking I'm really crafty or something , its all no-sew)
Love many, trust a few, and always paddle your own canoe
I saw Christmas decorations at the drug store and actually got a knot in my stomach. What's up with that? I used to love the holidays, now I associate them with stress and traffic and airport lines and rain and 16 hours of darkness (that's in Seattle).
Already longing for spring ...
"Totalitarianism demands, in fact, the continuous alteration of the past, and in the long run probably demands a disbelief in the very existence of objective truth." George Orwell
On my way home last night, I noticed a house with the Christmas tree up. I told my fiancee' and he was like "You got to be kidding me " AJ where are you in Canada?? Its cold enough to snow here today, but we havent had snow yet. However it is in the forecast for a light flurry tonight.

Astronomers cannot avoid statistics, and there are several reasons for this unfortunate situation. The most obvious is that every observational science is one of probabilities - none more so than astronomy, in which optical observers count individual photons from faint objects until they have collected ``enough'', while their radio colleagues persist with receivers generating noise signals of amplitudes hundreds of times larger than those expected from faint sources. We have all been taught by our Masters that no quantity determined observationally is of use unless it has the proper error associated with it; this implies that we know and understand both our gear and some basic statistics. It also implies that other astronomers are going to quote results in statistical terms - e.g. standard errors, confidence limits - so that in self-defence, the implications of these statistics must be familiar to us. Following the problems of detection come the problems of samples - we are frequently faced with making deductions about various constituents of the Universe on the basis of samples which are invariably small, and which are not easily augmented. How can we convince ourselves/colleagues that an effect in our sample indicates a Universal Truth? How likely is it that the effect is only due to chance, to good/bad luck, to the First Law of Experimentation (1) ? We are not always aware that an appropriate test exists. It is possible, for example, to test whether the ``degree of woofliness'' (arbitrary and non-numerical scale) of the structures in a sample of five radio sources is correlated with, say, galactic latitude.
Practical problems such as this (?) receive little treatment in standard treatises on statistics (e.g. Kendall & Stuart (1), the definitive work). But most things necessary have been done by Those Who Have Gone Before, and some of their results are collected here, in this short series of articles which grew from lecture notes prepared for the new research students at MRAO.
The articles represent a personal point of view, and I make no claim for originality or completeness. Results are presented with examples, but with little justification and no theory, an (over) abundance of which may be found in the standard works. Tables relevant to the material are included, and these have been recomputed to avoid type-setting and copyright problems. Throughout I emphasize two things: common sense, and the necessity to use non-parametric methods. For the former there is no substitute. The latter is forced upon us; the usual parametric tests assume a knowledge of the underlying probability distributions of the variables which we are sampling. (Examples are the Student t-test, the F-test, and the standard correlation coefficient r, the use of each assuming Normal distributions for the variables involved.) We rarely have this luxury, and, in fact, the underlying probability distribution is frequently the object of our research. Therefore we must use non-parametric tests. The books do not usually make the distinction and, if they do, the non-parametric treatment is likely to comprise < 1 per cent of the volume. The monograph by Siegel (2) is an admirable exception, and extensive reference is made to it later.
In these articles I shall discuss four topics which probably represent the most common entanglements of astronomers with statistics:
As an unavoidable preamble I have to present some definitions and distributions (Section 2) which will certainly be encountered in the literature, both astronomical and statistical, and to discuss the Normal distribution (Section 3). Topic (I) is considered in Section 4, and the remaining topics in the subsequent articles.

With just three games remaining this season, Al Hilal are 13 points ahead and uncatchable after Al Shabab in second drew 0-0 with Al Ittifaq.
Issa Al Mehyani got Al Hilal on the way with a goal just before the break and when Nawaf Al Abed grabbed a goal 17 minutes from time, the celebrations really started.
It was the end of a great season for one of Asia's biggest clubs as Al Hilal led the table from the start and once a sizeable gap was opened, the team never looked back.
Elsewhere, rivals Al Ittihad did their chances of finishing second no harm at all as an early goal from Talal Al Meshal gave them a win over Al Nasr.

Hip-hop artist Nas is a veteran in the music industry. Since releasing his debut album Illmatic in 1994, he's been described as one of the greatest lyricists of all time. His music has cross-cultural appeal and has influenced millions. That's why Nas was the go-to guy for Harvard University's W.E.B. Du Bois Institute's latest honor.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Nas is the namesake of the Nasir Jones Hip-Hop Fellowship. It's a joint effort between the school and the Hip-Hop Archive.
They want to "seek projects from scholars and artists that build on the rich and complex hip-hop tradition; to respect that tradition through historically-grounded and contextualized critical insights; and most important, to represent one's creative and/or intellectually rigorous contribution to hip-hop and the discourse through personal and academic projects. "
In other words, they want to blend hip-hop, education and culture in its purest form. Fellows could produce an array of projects such as performance pieces, album work or manuscripts. So what does Nas have to say about the honor?
"In my roller-coaster of a life, I've endured good and bad for sure, and I've truly been blessed to have achieved so much through art in my short life thus far," Nas said. "But I am immensely over-the-top excited about the Nasir Jones Hip-Hop Fellowship at Harvard. From Queens, NY, to true cultural academia."
For nearly 20 years, Nas has been a beacon in hip-hop and, thanks to this fellowship, he'll continue to be for years to come.
