Many people were outraged by Instagram's recent announcement in regards to its privacy policy changes. On January 16, the company – which was bought out by Facebook last year – proposed a change that would allow advertisers to use photos uploaded by users for free. As originally communicated, users would not receive any incentive nor would they have rights over their Instagram photos. Why? As popular as many of social sharing sites may be, they have to find ways to monetize in order to stay in business. Instagram confirmed this notion once it released an updated statement claiming that from the start, Instagram was created to become a business" and that "advertising is one of many ways that Instagram can become self-sustaining."
The question of whether or not to stay on Instagram has cut deeply for many. Everyone from the Kardashians to everyday citizens concerned about their privacy have started jumping ship. The buzz sparked something over at Instagram, because in a recent blog, the company reneged on their original "update" to soothe angry consumers:
"Our intention in updating the terms was to communicate that we'd like to experiment with innovative advertising that feels appropriate on Instagram," Kevin Systrom, co-founder of Instagram, wrote on a company blog. "Instead it was interpreted by many that we were going to sell your photos to others without any compensation. This is not true and it is our mistake that this language is confusing. To be clear: it is not our intention to sell your photos. We are working on updated language in the terms to make sure this is clear."
Although Instagram calls their recent privacy update a communications error or misunderstanding, questions still loom over whether or not this recent update is in response to the many users that have already closed down their accounts. Knowing that the company has backed down from its original "unclear" messaging, are you still planning to continue using Instagram? Or will you be opting for an alternative program?

According to Forbes, Tim Tebow is the most influential athlete in American sports. However, the former Heisman winner still finds himself unemployed after getting cut by the New York Jets this offseason.There has certainly been no shortage of opinion as to where people think he ends up. Some folks are hoping he winds up in the NFL again, while others are hoping he falls flat on his face. On Tuesday, arguably the biggest badass in the universe chimed in with his opinion on the matter, and he desperately wants to see Tebow land in Jacksonsville.That person is none other than the legendary Chuck Norris. Norris believes the native Floridian can turn the Jaguars around from a "mediocre team into a championship one," citing the fact that the spiritual Tebow works miracles on the football field. Here is a snippet of what he had to say:I've heard the critics say Tebow has poor technical skills, but the truth is that Tim is a natural leader, an amazingly gifted football player, an inspiration to his team and the possessor of intense determination and strategy to bring any team to victory — no matter what the odds. One can improve technique, but leadership is innate. That is why I believe that Tebow could be a superstar and legend in the NFL.Apparently, Norris adores Tebow because he sees a little of himself, too.Tebow is a player who rises to the occasion and delivers big in critical moments. He reminds me of myself when I used to compete in martial arts. I would spar with my black belts in class, and sometimes they would outscore me. Yet in the tournaments, I would defeat them. My students used to ask me, "Why is it that we can contend equally against you in class but can't beat you in the tournaments?" My answer was always the same: "When it counts, I rise to the occasion."Clearly Norris is a man who the Jaguars shouldn't doubt. Team owner Shad Khan and general manager David Caldwell should take his advice and act swifty. If not, they could both end up with a roundhouse kick to the face.Via The Big Lead

A Group Research Project / City Planning History / The Ohio State University / Spring 2010
The Old Ohio Penitentiary, also known as the Ohio State Penitentiary or less formally referred to as the Ohio Pen or State Pen, was a prison operated from 1834 to 1983 in downtown Columbus, Ohio. The Ohio Penitentiary covered 22 acres of land on West Spring Street between West Street and Neil Avenue before it was demolished. During its lifetime, several historical events took place including the worst prison fire ever in U.S history, two large riots, a tornado, and some interesting escapes. The Ohio Pen was sold in 1995 and demolished in 1998 to make room for Nationwide Arena in the present-day Arena District. Today, the site of Ohio Pen is used for arena parking lots, condos, businesses, work-out facility, movie theater, restaurants, bars, and a park. Our research comes from a variety of sources, including internet databases, several books, personal interview, and personal experience from the site.

It's actually not that buggy. And boy, is it already fun. <3
It's hard to control your guys, though. And it's horribly optimized.
DwarfCorp is a RTS game about ruthless capitalism in a fantasy world. You've been hired as Regional Manager for Greybeard and Sons Company to explore and exploit new territories. As Regional Manager, you'll need to prospect the best location, and send a scouting party of dwarves in a balloon. From there, it's up to you to make sure your dwarves survive long enough to mine precious gold and mana rock. Use your profits to hire new employees and buy equipment! Only the most ruthless capitalist will prosper!
This is our kickstarter prototype demo of the game. Try it! Experience bugs!
It's actually not that buggy. And boy, is it already fun. <3
It's hard to control your guys, though. And it's horribly optimized.
it's really fun to play but boy does it crash.
I also hope it'll get a bit easier to control the camera as trying to mine is a major pain in the ***.
What sort of camera controls are you not happy with?
How to install this game ?!
When I already finished with installing , It's nothing..

"Like their ethanol counterparts, biodiesel producers are chafing at the Environmental Protection Agency's proposed methods of calculating their fuel's greenhouse gas emissions.
The E.P.A.'s proposed rule, released on Tuesday, finds that biodiesel made from soybeans (the predominant feedstock in this country) produces, under one scenario, 22 percent fewer emissions than petroleum.
That is well short of requirements in 2007 energy legislation, which states that biodiesel must produce 50 percent fewer emissions than petroleum (though the rule proposed on Tuesday could nudge that requirement, which allows for some flexibility, down to 40 percent)."

TITLE: Life After the Empty Nest
By Donna Howard
Life After the Empty Nest
My husband and I moved into a smaller house recently. Our three children – a girl and two boys – are all married with children of their own now, so we no longer need a big house.
I open box after box of figurines, music boxes and other gifts they bestowed on me over the years on my birthday and at Christmas. I shake my head and ask, "Where have the years gone? How could they possibly have gone so fast?"
I head for my office, where I open yet another box. It holds albums of photographs of our children, taken during their growing-up years. I flip through them, stopping from time-to-time to re-live the happy events preserved in them. I let my mind wander back to those days. Memories flood my mind, and I find myself wishing I could turn back the clock to the days when our children were small, and then have time stand still.
I pick up a picture of our daughter when she was two. She looked so cute in her frilly little dress and Easter bonnet. She was always a happy child. In my mind, I relive each child's first beautiful smile, and their first wobbly steps.
I remember, as toddlers, how their little arms around my neck almost crushed me at times when they shared their love with me.
I remember how each one seemed so tiny the first time they climbed those two giant steps up into the big yellow school bus on their first day of school. What a scramble of mixed emotions that was for me.
I remember their shining eyes and glowing faces when they received their first puppy or kitten, and when they picked out their own clothes for the first time.
I remember summer vacations when we traveled all over our beautiful country, visiting interesting historical places; and Christmases when we laughed together, and sang together, and prayed together.
I remember the day each one accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. What a thrill that was for their dad and me.
In their teen years - 4-H clubs, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts with projects to complete, and awards to earn.
In high school there was sports – pom-pom girls, wrestling, football and track - their first date; first prom, first job, which required their first car; graduation from high school and then from college; falling in love, and then – their wedding day and the establishing of happy homes of their own, which have produced five beautiful grandchildren for us
I've come full circle and I've changed my mind. I no longer wish to go back and have time stand still. It would mean my children would not experience these many things that have brought them, and us, so much joy and happiness. It would mean my husband and I would never experience the pleasure of watching them grow and laugh and learn. We would not have the privilege of teaching them to become independent and responsible adults. We would miss the joy of sharing all the things that have been, and are, a part of their lives.
No, I could never wish for that. It is the way it should be, as God intended it to be.

Where did all of MTV's viewers go?
NEW YORK (AP) — What a difference a year makes for MTV's "Video Music Awards" — and not in a good way.
MTV's annual big event was seen by 6.1 million viewers last week. Nielsen, a company that measures media consumption, says that's less than half of the 12.4 million who watched in 2011. That was believed to be MTV's most-watched program ever.
The awards show started about an hour earlier than it usually does to avoid conflicting with President Barack Obama's speech at the Democratic National Convention.
The TV viewership may have been down, but MTV says it was a big event on social media.

'City of Djinns' now unrecognisably different: William Dalrymple (With Image)May 11th, 2011 - 9:35 am ICT by IANS
New Delhi, May 11 (IANS) The national capital is unrecognisably different from what it was three decades ago when writer William Dalrymple came to the metropolis as a freshman in 1989 to sample the sights and sounds of India.
His "City of Djinns: A Year in Delhi", which was inspired by the colours of Delhi, will complete 20 years in 2012.
Ruminating on the changes that the metropolis, celebrating its centenary year as the national capital in 2011, has undergone, Dalrymple said: "It is unrecognisably different. It was an extensively Punjabi city in the 80s."
"People were still coming for jobs; the demography was changing. But by the 90s, it was a proper capital city. Not Washington or Canberra; but New York," Dalyrymple told IANS on the sidelines of a session on "Transformation of Delhi: India's Capital at 100″.
The city was declared the national capital by King George V on Dec 12, 1911, and the "seat of government was transferred from erstwhile Calcutta to the ancient capital of Delhi".
"This is the city where the media is; the buzz is. Kolkata used to be a great intellectual centre (earlier), but all the publishers and writers are here in Delhi," Dalrymple said.
"Earlier Mumbai (Bombay) was known as a hip place; but it has been replaced by Delhi, which has all the hip new night clubs," the writer said.
The "City of Djinns", according to Dalrymple, "records Delhi not just as a historical memory" but as a living city that has continuously evolved over the centuries, making room for the old and the new.
Dalrymple would not like to re-write "City of Djinns" again on the capital's centenary year.
"Books are like children. You give them as good a start as a thing as you can. Writing that kind of book would be difficult now… but it is very much a record of the city," Dalrymple said.
The author is planning to celebrate the 20th birthday of the "City of Djinns", but is not sure about the nature of celebrations.
"What's lovely about the book is that it still has its little place. University kids who come here refer to the book. When it came out, 'Djinns…' had a modest beginning. It now sells 15,000 to 20,000 copies every year," he said.
The book, which won the 1994 Thomas Cook Travel Book Award, also earned Dalrymple the Sunday Times Young British Writer of the Year award.
The hype notwithstanding, Dalrymple still does not consider himself a "pucca Delhiite".
"I am a bit insider, a bit outsider which is a useful thing for a writer to be," he said.
"City of Djinns" captures Delhi in a way no other book on the city by a non-Indian does; it relates to the history of the capital spontaneously.
"It was in the citadel of Feroz Shah that I met my first Sufi. Pir Sadr-ud-Din had weasel eyes and a beard as tangled as myna's nest. The mystic sat me down on a carpet; offered me tea and told me about the djinns…," Dalrymple said in the book.
The writer wanted to see a djinn - one of the spirits - from "the other race of men created by Allah", which haunted the capital.
The Pir said Dalrymple would run away. Dalrymple was only 17 when he met the Pir Sdar-ud-din.
After 10 years at a school in a remote valley in the moors of North Yorkshire, the writer "quite suddenly found himself in India… in Delhi."
"From the very beginning, I was mesmerised by the great capital, so totally unlike anything I had ever seen before. Delhi, it seemed at first, was full of riches and horrors; it was a labyrinth, a city of palaces, an open gutter, filtered light through a filigree lattice, a landscape of domes, an anarchy, a press of people, a choke of fumes; a whiff of spices…"
Three decades on, the writer's primary concerns about his "City of Djinns" are "better preservation of monuments; better roads as they were when he came to the capital and the falling water table."
"The depleting ground water poses a danger to the city. I see my neighbours in Mehrauli digging up to 100 feet every year for water borewells," Dalrymple said.
"City of Djinns" has an infectious creativity, say young writer duo Shalabh from Himachal and Rachel Leven from New York.
The young travellers are writing a book, "Seeking Djinns" inspired by Dalrymple's book.
"We have visited the places that are mentioned in the book and are documenting the changes. Some of them are the same, while others have degenerated," Rachel Leven told IANS.

By Trevor Zickgraf, Project Spurs
The schedule looked like being put through a torture chamber. After playing 21 games in the first five weeks of the season, the San Antonio Spurs then played nine games in a row on the Rodeo Road Trip. 20 of their first 34 games were on the road, making all the back to backs and three games in four nights incredibly tough. But thanks to some Pop wizardry with the bench and MVP candidate play from Tony Parker, the Spurs finished that grueling first two months of the season with the Western Conference's second best record.

Not all police chases are necessary
Updated 4:55 pm, Wednesday, March 27, 2013
There is no doubt that the driver of a truck suspected of carrying undocumented immigrants bears responsibility for the crash that killed seven and injured eight others at Naval Air Station Kingsville last week.
Which is not to say that the chase that prompted the crash shouldn't be scrutinized.
Any police decision to engage in a chase contains variables difficult to sort out after the fact. But there is one question that dominates: Did the benefit of the chase outweigh the risk?
It's a question we hope the Kingsville Police Department is attempting to answer. Seven lives lost, eight injured and the potential for other lives lost or injured in future chases demand it.
Last week, Kingsville police began chasing a GMC Sierra carrying 15. The chase reportedly was occurring at 40 to 45 mph before the driver turned into the naval air station, at which point the truck began going more than 70 mph.
It crashed a half-mile later into a final security barrier whose presence on a secure military facility after 9/11 makes all the sense in the world.
But did the Kingsville officer or officers who started the chase see simply a truck full of suspected illegal immigrants? Or did they fear a predatory trafficking ring and immigrants in immediate danger?
And even if they did, does this warrant the risk to their lives posed in a chase? Were there alternatives?
This crash follows another last week in which six immigrants — suspected of being in the country illegally — were detained after their vehicle flipped while fleeing authorities. The driver's neck was broken, though he survived.
In October, a DPS trooper fired from a helicopter while trying to disable a fleeing vehicle, killing two Guatemalan immigrants who were in the truck bed.
Here's the issue. Illegal immigration is generally handled as a civil, not criminal matter.
Entering or staying in the country without the proper documents does not in and of itself rise to the level of making it necessary to risk the lives of the immigrants, their transporters, police or bystanders in a chase.
A request for more information from the Kingsville Police Department earlier this week went unanswered.
Our hope is that more clarity follows.

WASHINGTON – President Obama ordered grisly photographs of a slain Osama bin Laden sealed from public view Wednesday, declaring, "We don't need to spike the football" in triumph after this week's daring middle-of-the-night raid.
The terrorist leader was killed by American commandos who burst into his room and, fearing he was reaching for a nearby weapon, shot him in the head and chest, U.S. officials said.
Several weapons were found in the room where the terror chief died, including AK-47 assault rifles and side arms, the officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity as they offered the most recent in a series of increasingly detailed and sometimes-shifting accounts of bin Laden's final minutes after a decade on the run.
Obama said releasing the photographs taken by the Navy SEAL raiders was "not who we are" as a country. Though some may deny his death, "the fact of the matter is you will not see bin Laden walking this Earth again," the president said in an interview taped for CBS' "60 Minutes."
"It's important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence or as a propaganda tool," Obama said.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said the president's decision applied to photographs of bin Laden, said to show a portion of his skull blown away from a gunshot wound to the area of his left eye, as well as to a video recording of his burial several hours later in the North Arabian Sea.
The president made no public remarks during the day about the raid, apart from the taped interview. But he arranged to visit ground zero today in Manhattan, where the World Trade Center twin towers once stood.
After two days of shifting accounts of the dramatic raid, Carney said he would no longer provide details of the 40-minute operation by the team of elite Navy SEALs. That left numerous unresolved mysteries, prominent among them an exact accounting of bin Laden's demise. Officials have said he was unarmed, but resisted when an unknown number of commandos burst into his room inside the high-security compound.
The officials who gave the latest details said a U.S. commando grabbed a woman who charged toward the SEALs inside the room. They said the raiders were concerned that she might be wearing a suicide vest.
Administration officials have said bin Laden's body was identified by several means, including a DNA test. Members of Congress who received a briefing during the day said a sample from the body killed at the compound in Pakistan was compared to known DNA from bin Laden's mother and three sons.
After two days of speculation about releasing the photographs, there was no detectable public debate in the U.S. about the merits of the raid itself against the man behind the terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans on Sept. 11, 2001.
Attorney General Eric Holder told Congress the operation was "entirely lawful and consistent with our values" and justified as "an action of national self-defense." Noting that bin Laden had admitted his involvement in the events of nearly a decade ago, he said, "It's lawful to target an enemy commander in the field."
Holder also said the team that carried out the raid had been trained to take bin Laden alive if he was willing to surrender. "It was a kill-or-capture mission," Holder said. "He made no attempt to surrender."
Bin Laden had evaded capture for nearly a decade, and officials said he had currency as well as two telephone numbers sewn into his clothing when he was killed, suggesting he was prepared to leave his surroundings on a moment's notice if he sensed danger.
Administration officials said the two dozen SEALs involved in the operation were back at their home base outside Virginia Beach, Va., and the extensive debriefing they underwent was complete. Saluted as heroes nationwide, they remained publicly unidentified because of security concerns.
In addition to bin Laden's body, the SEALs helicoptered out of the compound with computer files, flash drives, DVDs and documents that intelligence officials have begun analyzing in hopes the information will help them degrade or destroy the network bin Laden left behind.
In New York today, Obama will lay a wreath at the World Trade Center site, Carney said. The president will also hold a private meeting with relatives of some of the victims of the attacks, in which jetliners hijacked by terrorists were flown into the side of first one tower, then the other.
The buildings collapsed within minutes, dooming office workers as well as rescuers who had run in hoping to save them.
A decade later, Obama said he had no intention of gloating.
Obama's decision not to release any photographs was unlikely to be the final word, though.
Some members of Congress have been shown at least one photo of bin Laden, and others have asked to see it, an indication of the intense interest generated by the raid.
The Associated Press on Monday requested through the Freedom of Information Act photos of bin Laden's body as well as other materials, including video taken by military personnel during the raid and on the USS Carl Vinson, the ship that conducted bin Laden's burial at sea. The government has 20 days to respond.
Some family members of those who died in the 9/11 attacks have pressed to have the photographs released to document bin Laden's death, as have some skeptics in the Arab world. But many lawmakers and others expressed concern that the photographic images could be seen as a "trophy" that would inflame U.S. critics and make it harder for members of the American military deployed overseas to do their jobs.
Obama said he had discussed his decision with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Defense Secretary Robert Gates "and my intelligence teams, and they all agree."
Despite fears of revenge attacks, officials have yet to raise the national threat level.
The White House also announced that Obama would visit Fort Campbell, Ky., on Friday to greet troops returning from Afghanistan, which the United States attacked in 2001 after its leaders refused to turn over members of the al-Qaida leadership living there.

5 Easy Tricks To Getting The Best Night's Sleep Ever
Published 6:21 pm, Sunday, April 6, 2014
If you're looking to get a better night's sleep, psychologist Richard Wiseman has some tips for you.
His latest Quirkology video is filled with hacks to get the best snooze possible, from his recent book Night School.
Here are some of the best tricks:
1. Avoid blue light — including tablets and smartphones specifically.
The specific wavelength of blue light put off by tablet and smart phone displays prevents your brain from producing melatonin, which helps you fall asleep.
2. Make your brain tired by trying to think of an animal or a food for each letter of the alphabet.
3. Put your bed as far away from the door as possible, and sleep with your feet facing the door.
Weisman says humans have evolve to fall asleep faster when they feel safe and comfortable. So moving your bed to have a clear view of the door will reassure you that there isn't an intruder making his way in.
4. Eat a banana before you go to bed.
The carbs in the banana will help you feel drowsy, Weisman says, because they help relax your body and mind.
5. Wear socks.
Your body naturally increases the blood flow to your feet when you are falling asleep, a feeling which can be mimicked using socks to keep your toes warm. That's one less thing for your body to do before falling asleep!
BONUS: To feel alert soon, drink coffee right before you taking a quick nap. In 20 minutes, you'll wake up feeling alert.
You can check out all of Wiseman's tips and tricks for a good night's sleep here:

One of these familiar disputes is going on now in Beaumont between the bar Starvin' Marvin's and nearby residents.
Bar owner Marvin Atwood says he has done everything he can to satisfy neighbors who complained.
He spent a lot of money relocating the stage at his business and tried to sound-proof the building. He says he will have to close down if that's not good enough — and put a lot of people of out of work.
Nearby residents say it isn't. They say they can't sleep at night. They want him to end the racket — no matter what.
Whaddya think?
Who's right in these disputes?
Does it matter who was there first?
Should people expect a certain level of noise from a business district?
Should the loss of jobs and tax revenues affect the final decision?
If you have something to say on this or any editorial topic, post a comment below now!

From the website:
The Way of St. James or "Camino" is a 500 mile journey across northern Spain. It began as a Roman trade route until it became a Christian pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, the supposed burial grounds of the apostle James. Today, thousands of people from all over the world gather on the Camino for many reasons. It is an opportunity to challenge yourself physically, mentally, spiritually, and contemplate life while traveling with strangers from every culture on this planet.
Justin Skeesuck and Patrick Gray will start from St. Jean Pied de Port on the French side of the Pyrenees to Roncesvalles (15 miles) on the Spanish side and then another 485 miles on to Santiago de Compostela through the major cities of Pamplona, Logroño, Burgos and Léon.
Typically, the French Way or "Camino Francés" usually takes 4 weeks, allowing for one or two rest days on the way. However, because we are traveling by wheelchair, we are planning for approximately 5-6 weeks to complete the journey. We will be leaving late May 2014 and returning early July 2014.

Now accepting donations
Hi everyone,
It has been awhile since I have updated my blog, but with good reason.
A lot happened in 2012, and much of it took most of my time from the Summer of 2012 to January 2013.
These things were:
- Getting into a relationship, and leaving it
- My son being in and out of hospitals all of August due to complications from a routine removal of his polyps and tonsils. (He is fine now, besides having to visit the hospital in the first weekend of 2013 for putting LEGO up his nose.)
- Going from local chairman of my local atheist group to a seat on the board of directors at the national Danish Atheist Society. (After months of crazy internal struggles and political intrigues.)
- Debate with a Dr.Theol. at a seminary school.
- Lobbying against ritual circumcision of boys in Denmark.
It has been busy, but I have learned a lot, and it has also been a lot of fun.
I feel bad for not keeping up with my YouTube or blog, but I only have two arms, I tried to get back on Youtube by purchasing a HD webcam, but sadly discovered that neither of my PCs were powerful enough to pull of recording via it.
Which brings me to the topic of this entry, I as an unemployed single-father, political activist, my funds are rather low, and my work-PC is soon turning 6, and sadly its motherboard has peaked in upgrades, L755 socket, for the technical minded people.
So I am trying to get funds to purchase a new PC, which means the parts that I need, like a new motherboard, GFX, RAM, HDD, and CPU.
I went out looking for the best value parts, and so far fell on a price of 5025 DKK = 879,37 USD for it all.
If you want to help me out, I added a donation option on my site, and will update if I get donations.
Also you may email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you are in Denmark and want to take a look at my list of parts and could suggest cheaper or better.
The parts are:
- Bundkort: http://www.edbpriser.dk/bundkort/msi-z77a-g45-id-6725474.aspx
- CPU: http://www.edbpriser.dk/processor/core-i5-i5-3570-6-mb-intel-boxed-id-6829782.aspx –

Home Habits: Finding Your Little Corner
After years of living in some extremely small spaces (hello, tiny San Francisco loft studio!) I have really enjoyed spreading out in just over 1,000 s.f. I have room for my desk, and also a whole room devoted to a studio where I can really spread out! So why do I always end up in this little corner of my house!?
Seemingly every day, as I am writing my blog posts and working on the computer, I end up in this little, cozy corner of my home. It's not very ergonomically correct, and it's not particularly conducive to work, but it's my favorite spot!
I think it's because of the way the light pours into the room in the morning. It's the soft velvet of the couch that I proudly scavenged on Craigslist for $50 and breathed new life into! It's because I get to be near my Saarinen side table, one of the only things that I didn't thrift or scavenge but splurged on at a sample sale. It's also because I won't miss a beat around the house. I'm out in the open ready to see and hear everything going on in my home. Oh, and it's the closest spot in the house to the coffee maker...let's not discount that fact.
Either way, it's my little corner of the house, and I gravitate towards it. I plan on trying to cultivate a few more corners, if not only to "get my money's worth" with all of this space! But I don't really mind how often I work here. I might even make a new throw pillow for my corner!
Where is your corner? Do you end up in the same spot in your home time after time? Do you have to fight your significant other or pet for it? Give it up for cozy corners!

IBM launches cognitive computing consulting practice
IBM today launched its latest strategic initiative: a 2,000-employee consulting unit devoted exclusively to business that builds on the cognitive computing capabilities of IBM Watson. "Our work with clients across many industries shows that cognitive computing is the path to the next great set of possibilities for business," Bridget van Kralingen, senior vice president, IBM Global Business Services, said in a statement today. "Clients know they are collecting and analyzing more data than ever before, but 80 percent of all the available data — images, voice, literature, chemical formulas, social expressions — remains out of reach for traditional computing systems. We're scaling expertise to close that gap and help our clients become cognitive banks, retailers, automakers, insurers or healthcare providers." "Before long, we will look back and wonder how we…

The entire Zimbabwe squad of 35 players formally refused to play any cricket under its national body yesterday as outstanding match fees and salaries remain unpaid.
"Zimbabwe Cricket has really had it now," said the players' representative, Clive Field. "The players relented from a similar position to give ZC a further three weeks until the end of the month to pay the large sums of money owed them.
But they are now simply walking away." The West Indies' chief executive, Roger Brathwaite, meanwhile, said yesterday his board is considering cancelling the tour by Zimbabwe in May.
Brathwaite said alternative opponents had been sought but that none was available.

Avatars and the Mirrorbox: Can Humans Hack Empathy?
Human solider Jake Sully jacks his mind into an alien body in order to spy on the real aliens, but ends up developing so much sympathy for them that he defects. The fact that his Na'vi body is physical and not virtual is an invention of moviemaker James Cameron for the sci-fi film Avatar--but everything else about Jake's experience lines right up with modern psychology.
Researchers at Stanford's Virtual Human Interaction Lab have found it's very easy for people to inhabit virtual bodies, even if those bodies bear little resemblance to their own. They readily cue their behavior off the appearance of their avatars; for example, those inhabiting taller avatars negotiate more aggressively. Nick Yee, now a researcher at the Palo Alto Research Center, calls this influence "The Proteus Effect." Most striking, these behaviors bleed over into ordinary life. Even short people who inhabited a tall avatar will be more aggressive in face-to-face interactions.
Virtual avatars are one thing. But what about real bodies? Would identifying with another person's body make you behave more like that person? If the body belongs to a different gender, age, or ethnicity than yours, would you become more empathic to others in that group?

This idea may seem confined to realm of science fiction, but artist Megan Daalder has found a way to try it out in the real world. Her Mirrorbox, a helmet-like contraption worn by two people as they stand facing each other, uses lights and mirrors to superimpose the images of their two faces as they smile, nod, and talk together.
It may sound creepy, but most participants report loving the experience. Some even use words like "euphoria" and "bliss" in post-Mirrorbox surveys. The feeling of sharing a face with another human is apparently right up humanity's alley.
These reports have gotten scientists interested in using the Mirrorbox as a tool to study and perhaps enhance empathy. Humans, after all, are prone to exclusion: Me, not you. Our group, not those others.
But humans also have a powerful capacity for empathy. Great men and women throughout the ages and around the world have been able to identify with the suffering of others and work tirelessly to alleviate it.
However, those of us who aspire to such greatness often struggle to empathize even with that rush-hour commuter who totally just cut us off. Could regular practice with a tool like the Mirrorbox train us to be more forgiving? More accepting?
Daalder, who is also an instructor at UCLA's Sci|Art NanoLab, made a fascinating video about the Mirrorbox's transition between the realms of art and science. It closes with these tantalizing words from Sook-Lei Liew, a PhD student in neuroscience at the University of Southern California: "We can't say that much yet, but the results are very promising."

Almost all bicycle rear lights use LEDs instead of filament bulbs as they are more reliable and use much less battery power, whilst also offering much higher levels of brightness. Used in flashing mode, they are very good at attracting attention from other road users. It's advisable to use at least two rear bike lights, a common configuration is one flashing and one in constant, this is highly advisable just in case one stops or becomes obscured.
In order to cycle on the road it may be a legal requirement in your country to use a light certified to a specific standard or an international equivalent. Most but not all lights sold on Wiggle are certified and labelled with a European CEN standard. Please check your country's requirements to see if this is sufficient and if necessary contact the manufacturer to see if this light has been additionally certified for your country. Strangely some of the very best lights are not legal on their own and should be used with an additional legal backup light.
From the very beginning, back in 1989, our goal has been to provide the longest lasting, highest performing bicycle lights available, while offering an extraordinary level of customer service. 18 years later having established NiteRider as a leading innovator and trailblazer in the bike lighting industry, our passion and dedication has not diminished. We remain committed to explore new and cutting edge technologies in order to bring you the most advanced bicycle lighting systems on the planet. We do this to keep you riding long after the sun has set.

There is a certain irony in the fact that I, an Evangelical, am now offering to you words I wrote down about why Evangelicals can't write. Whether I am the exception that proves the rule, Posterity will have to judge (if the publishing industry ever offers it the opportunity). At the very least, the ironic presence of this paper in your hand is an opportunity for exegesis. It suggests that my title is not to be taken literally. Evangelicals obviously do write, and publish, reams upon reams of prose. What they have not tended to write is anything recognized as having literary value by the literary world.
What makes this failure remarkable is that conservative Christians--sometimes quite evangelical and even evangelistic, though not "Evangelicals"--have often done so. G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Charles Williams, Dorothy L. Sayers, Aleksander Solzhenitsyn, Walker Percy, Flannery O'Connor, Madeline L'Engle, and Annie Dillard are all recognized as important literary figures even by people who do not share their Christian commitment. Where is the American Evangelical who can make such a claim?
The people I have mentioned who are both great writers and great Christians are all from liturgical churches: Roman Catholic, Anglican/Episcopal, Orthodox. (Dillard, who started out as a Presbyterian, has recently converted to Catholicism.) The closest thing Evangelicalism has to a name that could rank with these is probably Walter Wangerin, Jr., who is not really a "mainstream" Evangelical but a Lutheran--again, from a liturgical tradition. Try to think of a Baptist (of any stripe), a Free or Wesleyan Methodist or a Nazarene, a conservative Presbyterian (OPC or PCA), a Plymouth Brother, a member of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, a Pentecostal, or a member of an independent Bible church who belongs in that company. While there may be one reading these words right now who is destined to join them, and to whom this rhetorical gambit is being grossly unfair, our experience up to now has been such that the mind is simply unable to suspend its disbelief and imagine any such thing. Instead, we get "Left Behind." In more ways than one.
Why? Is there anything we can do about it? Is there anything we can do about it without compromising our commitment to our Evangelical distinctives? What are those Evangelical distinctives anyway?
These are the questions I will try to wrestle with--I won't promise to answer--in this essay. I do not want to overstate the case. No doubt someone could point out minor figures who are, or who have the potential to be, exceptions to the generalization which is my premise. I should be glad to hear of them, but as we are talking about general trends, they hardly overturn that premise. The liturgical churches foster a lot of schlock and kitsch of their own; but they are also communities that are capable of fostering and nurturing great writers and great writing. So far, we Evangelicals have not. In fact, one could make a case that we positively discourage "literary" writing as being of questionable spiritual value. I am just crazy enough to want to change that state of affairs.
Too often people like Thomas Howard or Sheldon Vanauken have migrated Romeward (or, like Franky Schaeffer, to Byzantium), partly because their commitment to serious art could find no home in Evangelicalism. Some of them would deny that this was the major reason, but we would be naďve to think that it was not a factor. I want to say forthrightly that I do not see such migrations as a viable solution. For myself, I would define an Evangelical as a person committed to Nicene and Chalcedonian orthodoxy, to a high view of the authority of Scripture, to the Reformation doctrine of justification by faith alone, and to the necessity of personal faith in Christ (and therefore the importance for most people of a personal conversion experience, as long as we do not stereotype it) for salvation. If we must really give up any of that in order to learn to nurture serious artists and writers, then let art and literature perish from the earth! But I cannot believe that the God who begot the incarnate Logos and whose Spirit inspired the Gospels desires, much less requires, any such thing. So let us find another way, and ask, "What can we learn from these great Christian writers that we, as Evangelicals, can apply in our own discipling communities?" Let me attempt a beginning to an answer by examining one useful example.
Flannery O'Connor, the Georgia writer who died of disseminated lupus in 1964, was a self-styled "hillbilly Thomist" whose two novelettes and small collection of short stories have transcended the local-color cubbyhole into which they were first placed to shock, puzzle, intrigue, and delight a growing body of readers ever since. A devout and loyal Catholic who often had more sympathy with Protestant Fundamentalists than with others in her own tradition, she said that "I am no disbeliever in spiritual purpose and no vague believer. I see from the standpoint of Christian orthodoxy. This means that for me the meaning of life is centered in our Redemption by Christ and what I see in the world I see in its relation to that" (32). In most of her stories the central character, whether secular or religious, starts off smugly self-sufficient but is given an opportunity to become open to the grace of God which is usually not responded to very well. A master of irony, O'Connor often puts the most profound spiritual insight into the mouth of the character who is by conventional standards the farthest from the kingdom. There are no cheap conversions, but the cumulative effect of her stories for those who understand them is to break down the modern sense of enlightened self-sufficiency and prepare readers to accept their need for grace.
Although she often expressed a bemused impatience with the expectations of the average Catholic reader, O'Connor also found in the larger tradition of that church a community that nurtured and supported her artistic vision. She mentions at least three forms of such nurture she found there, only one of which is liable to be present in the typical Evangelical congregation.
First, she found a true world view, encapsulated in dogma, that constituted a lens that brings human nature and human significance into piercing clarity. "Dogma," she said, "is an instrument for penetrating reality" (178). "It is one of the functions of the Church to transmit the prophetic vision that is good for all time, and when the novelist has this as a part of his own vision, he has a powerful extension of sight" (179-80). But it is not enough simply to have been taught the truth. O'Connor understood that good writers do not simply parrot these insights; they must take this doctrinal understanding and apply it to the concrete realities of human life. "Your beliefs will be the light by which you see, but they will not be what you see and they will not be a substitute for seeing" (91). When we do not understand this distinction, Christian fiction becomes mere religious propaganda. "The sorry religious novel comes about when the writer supposes that because of his belief, he is somehow dispensed from the obligation to penetrate concrete reality" (163). Doctrine is a light to see human experience by, not simply a formula to be dressed up in a fictional disguise.
Some Evangelical congregations still do a good job of transmitting the biblical world view and the specifics of Christian doctrine, though too many of them have allowed the edges of that body of material to become inexcusably fuzzy. Perhaps we have not done so well at giving our adherents the confidence to take this body of doctrine and use it creatively as a tool to understand life and experience. But on this point at least we may with some credibility claim not to have been completely "left behind."
The second form of nurture O'Connor felt she had received from the Church was a definition of art that affirmed a spiritual purpose for the artist distinct from that of the propagandist. She quotes Thomas Aquinas as saying that art "is wholly concerned with the good of that which is made." And she adds, "We are not content to stay within our limitations and make something that is simply a good in and by itself. Now we want to make something that will have some utilitarian value. Yet what is good in itself glorifies God because it reflects God" (171). This is a telling comment. That which reflects God may have an evangelistic effect. But if evangelism must be the primary purpose of everything we write, then a lot of God's character will remain unreflected--which will, ironically, not help the cause of evangelism.
I have searched the current popular Evangelical systematic theologies--Grudem, Erickson, etc--in vain for a definition of art. For us, it does not seem to be a theological topos. O'Connor complained that too many Catholic writers were too utilitarian in their approach, but at least their theologians thought art a topic worthy of attention. Indeed, the Catholic theologian Hans Urs Von Balthasar has made it the organizing principle of his systematics, entitled "Theo-Drama." So it is not surprising that, with no such emphasis coming from is leaders, the popular Evangelical subculture is even more addicted to pragmatism in its approach, as a brief trip through that oxymoronic commercial institution the "Christian Bookstore" will quickly show. Fiction can only be justified if it has an overt evangelistic purpose; works of visual art must have a scripture verse tacked under them. Perhaps when our theologians become concerned with the good of the thing made, some of our people will too. Until that happens we will continue to be "left behind."
The third form of nourishment O'Connor acknowledged as a gift from the Church was a sense of mystery. The mystery of life is what good fiction is ultimately about. "It is the business of fiction to embody mystery through manners" (124). Therefore, "The type of mind that can understand good fiction is . . . the kind of mind that is willing to have its sense of mystery deepened by contact with reality, and its sense of reality deepened by contact with mystery" (79). In Catholic worship with its sacramental focus, O'Connor found her sense of mystery nourished, and saw such nourishment as a key to the writer's ability to "penetrate concrete reality": "The more sacramental his theology, the more encouragement he will get from it to do just that" (163).
Does our Evangelical theology of the sacraments preclude us from nurturing our writers in this way? I think it would be shortsighted to answer that question in the affirmative. Metaphor and symbolism are central to the creative process for writers, and they are an important way that we evoke and assimilate mystery. One need not believe in transubstantiation to make the Lord's Supper more central in worship, nor would a symbolic or metaphorical view of the sacrament render it irrelevant to the lives of artists. But we have too quickly and too often reacted to the abuses of the biblical sacrament in the Mass by relegating the Eucharist to a marginal role in our worship. This cannot be unrelated to the fact that we as a community are too much like the generation O'Connor described "that has been made to feel that the aim of learning is to eliminate mystery" (125). Our services, like our fiction, are justified by their efficiency in achieving pragmatic goals. Our sermons are full of practical easy steps to spiritual victory, a better marriage, or financial success; our music is designed to let us express comfortable emotions; everything is aimed at maximizing the body count at the altar call. Some of these goals are worth pursuing; but perhaps if abasement before a transcendent deity felt as such were one of them, we would be better Christians as well as better writers. Until that happens we will continue to be "left behind."
O'Connor can help us make the case that it is not the distinctive emphases of Evangelical theology, but rather a lack of other emphases, equally biblical, that has kept us from being a community good at nurturing the arts. Our pragmatism, an uncritical reflection of American culture rather than a biblical mandate; our failure to include in our theology the whole counsel of the God who called Bezalel and Oholiab and gifted them as artists; and our mystery-impoverished worship tradition are all simple failures to be what we claim to be, faithful to Scripture. They could be changed without threatening any of the doctrinal emphases that as a movement we have been right about. Until that happens, we will continue to be "left behind."

East Palo Alto Council Member Carlos Romero, whose unsuccessful bid for county supervisor earlier this year was dogged by revelations that he had exaggerated his educational background, will not seek a second term.
In a phone interview, Romero said Friday he always intended to serve just one term so his decisions would be based on what's best for the city and not how they might affect his re-election chances.
"I thought it important not to make that political calculus," Romero said. "To be an effective and honest politician it made sense to only look at a four-year term."
With Romero bowing out, the five-member council will have at least one new face after the Nov. 6 election.
Mayor Laura Martinez and Council Member Peter Evans filed candidate papers to seek re-election, and they will be joined in the contest by five challengers — Lisa Gauthier, Bernardo Huerta, Larry Moody, Jorge Prado and Donna Rutherford.
Gauthier, an executive assistant for a venture capital fund, is making her first run for public office. Huerta, a journeyman plumber, is a city planning commissioner.
Moody, a former Ravenswood City School District board member, directs the city's Police Activities League. Prado works in Ravenwood's human resources office and serves on the planning commission.
Rutherford, who served on the city council for eight years until 2008 and held the position of mayor in 2004, is a program administrator for the Mateo Lodge mental health facility; she is also board vice president of the San Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control District.
Martinez, at 27 the youngest mayor in East Palo Alto's history, said she wants to continue working on economic development, crime reduction and infrastructure improvements, among other key issues.
"I have the leadership skills, the passion and the proven experience," said Martinez, the director of Aspire East Palo Alto Phoenix Academy after-school program and college resource center.
Evans characterized his service on the council as "part of being in the community."
During Romero's campaign for San Mateo County supervisor, it came to light that as a city council candidate in 2008, he falsely claimed to have received degrees from Stanford and Harvard, although he did study at both universities.
On Friday, Romero said the fallout from the revelations had nothing to do with his decision to step off East Palo Alto's dais.
"No, not at all," he said. "The four years and all of my experiences, including running for supervisor, have been wonderful opportunities to both grow and learn."
Although the candidate filing period was scheduled to close Friday, it was extended to Aug. 15 because an incumbent is not seeking re-election.
