Get excited about reading again with fun and interesting tips from our experts, including The M.D., our dietitians, and our fitness expert. In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Women's Health
Discover everything you need to know about women's nutrition in this section devoted solely to woman's issues. Topics covered include weight gain during menopause, and tips on how to detect and avoid breast cancer.
Of course, anyone who is healthy enough to exercise should be included, but what about those individuals who have certain medical considerations? What about exercising during pregnancy?
Many people seem to believe that women who are going through pregnancy should not exert themselves too much, or at all. Most people would assume, then, that exercising during pregnancy would not be an approved activity. This is simply not the case.
Get Up, Get Active
Exercising during pregnancy is encouraged by most doctors for the benefits it can lend to both a mother and her unborn child. It is important to note however, that only your doctor can accurately assess the level of activity that you should strive for.
For a mother to be, exercising during pregnancy can alleviate, or at least lessen, many of the uncomfortable and inconvenient aspects of carrying a baby to term.
To begin, exercising during pregnancy helps to strengthen an expecting mother's muscles. Strong muscles are much better suited to carrying around the added weight that pregnancy entails. Being physically fit also helps immensely when it comes time to give birth, an already physically challenging task.
In addition to the physical benefits of exercising during pregnancy there are also a few that are more about a mother to be's mind.
When humans exercise our bodies release chemicals called endorphins which, in large quantities, can lead to feelings of extreme happiness or euphoria. Most exercise doesn't elicit such a strong release, but this does not mean that the effects will not be noticed. Mothers who make a habit of exercising during pregnancy can benefit from released endorphins in the form of a better night's sleep.
Diet Isn't A Dirty Word
For a new mother to be, the word diet carries a different meaning than it does for other people. Traditionally, diet refers to eating less, counting calories, and in general, trying to lose weight. For a mother-to-be, it refers more to the kinds of nutrients she feeds her body and her baby.
In the case of mothers who are exercising during pregnancy it is even more important that their bodies get the nutrients they crave. Expecting mothers should talk to their doctor about their exercise plan, and ask about any necessary dietary changes that might be recommended.
After Pregnancy: The Dreaded Baby Weight
It's one of the universal aspects of being a new mother – baby weight.
Long after your child has been welcomed into the world, this stubborn ring of extra weight around the midsection remains. Try as you might, but it's not going anywhere unless you put up a fight.
The reason for the universal problem of baby weight has to do with the human capacity for love. New mothers spend so much time caring for their babies that they often neglect their own health. While exercising during pregnancy was relatively easy (no baby to feed or diapers to change) exercising after pregnancy is not.
One of the best ways to overcome the challenge of baby weight is through the use of a home delivery diet service, like BistroMD. Our meals are physician designed and chef prepared, then delivered right to you.
The time you would have spent shopping, cooking, and then cleaning is unnecessary when you're on our plan. That means more time with baby, and maybe even extra time for a trip to the gym.

the guy who's playing black panther is the guy who played in 42. ragnarok in the comics is a cyborg clone of Thor created after third deathinhumans are a fictional race much like humans, but they go through a mist and get crazyass mutant powerswrong captain marvel, this one is carol danvers. She is completely unrelated to the DC one
42??also I have zero intrest in a female captian marvel.......goes against the natural order of things. ^_^
the Jackie Robinson movie.also captain marvel has been around since the 60's. Although most of the time she's called miss marvel
also the second captain marvel was female as well. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Rambeau
that's a link to miss marvel stuff tho??
no, captain marvel. It basically went: male, female, male, female, male, male, carol danvers
when you say captian marvel, I think shazam.miss marvel I see as the marvel girl ^_^
captain marvel was around before DC had shazam. Dc sued them for being to similar to superman. Then marvel got a trademark for their own captain marvel, and dc got their captain marvel/shazam after those two.
interesting, but agy stands by agy comment ^_^
they did a great job with guardians of the galaxy. If they can do a talking raccoon, a walking tree, and a gray guy who doesn't understand metaphors in such a great way, I have faith in their ability to do a air force pilot who gets her powers from an alien

Peter,Would it be possible if you could provide me a source for this assertion? I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!Peace and God Bless.
8 How many Ecumenical Councils were held? a. Seven Ecumenical Councils 9 Was the Vatican council an ecumenical council? Why?, why not? a. The Vatican council was not an ecumenical council – no participation from the Orthodox
And ... from the website of Melkite Catholic Church in the USA:I realize that's not definitive proof, but I think it strong evidence that someone can believe that there were only 7 ecumenical councils and still be a Catholic. (And, in much the same way, there's no requirement to believe that there have been such-and-such number of ex cathedra statements.)God bless,Peter.
It seems confusing, but there are different levels of teaching or different hierarchy of truths in Catholicism. Basically, as I know it to be, there are three or four levels of teaching in the RCC:1. Level 1: Solemn definition.2. Level 2: Day to day teaching of the Church around the world, which has the concurrence of the world's bishops.3. Level 3: Teaching in the official papal encyclicals.
Now I am confused.I understand the concept of a hierarchy of Truths. But I don't see the difference on a practical level. Can a level #3 Truth be more easily refuted or denied than a level #2? If they all "must be held" or are undeniable in some way, does that not make them all in reality #1's?Michael
Hello,I looked at that quote be Pope Alexander. It appears that it was written to combat some lax ideas of morality by certain clerics and confessors (especially those of the European Monarchs and Aristocrats) who were trying to make Catholicism as "easy" as possible. The particular one quoted appears to be in reply to an effort to eliminate fasting altogether from the spiritual life of those who didn't want to. The confessor could then say - as long as there is no malice or disobedience then go ahead and not fast. This of course is a poor attitude and one rightly condemned. But this is not the attitude I have been describing in earlier posts.Even if we were to say that to miss a fast is a mortal sin, not every act is mortally sinful. Let me explain. Let us go through the three conditions of a mortal sin:The act in itself is sinful. For this exercise, I'll agree that the act of missing a fast for whatever reason is grave matter. The person knows it is sinful. Well, let's assume that they do know it is gravely sinful (though this may not be the case in real life - especially in today's world ). The person gives full consent of the will in light of that knowledge. If I haphazardly grab a ham sandwich and start eating and midway through realize it is a day of abstinence and stop eating - I haven't given full consent of my will. Indeed, I didn't even have the requisite knowledge of sin (condition #2 - didn't realize it was a fast day). If I am ill and eat on a fast day - it is not full consent of the will. The illness creates what could be termed a state of duress.Did I miss anything?
I believe the quote is to do with Pascal's Lettres provinciales and comments that outlined the extremely lax fasting and abstinence practices the Jesuits were performing pased on their own reasonings and not Church teaching (amongst other things that the time). Alexander VII condemned the letters and also "cracked down".
Athanasios, I think you pretty much got it all. Obviously, after the fact, it is good to discuss it with your Priest, something I would have done as a RC and I will do as Orthodox, but to believe you are damned over a lapse in temporary thinking, or to accept charity and avoid unnecissary pride, is ludicrous.
Hello,It should also be noted (I think I did already, but just to be sure) - that the current discipline in the Catholic Church in the United States (USCCB) is that abstaining from meat is still the de facto penance for Fridays outside of Lent, but it can be substituted for another penance of the person's choosing. For example, today is Friday - I'll be eating minestrone (I'm starting to get a cold and I want to ward it off) which has little meatballs in it. So, instead of abstaining from meat I'll be saying some extra prayers - I'll either do a Rosary or Divine Mercy Chaplet. And this will still fulfill the penitential requirements as currently laid out in Canon Law and by my Bishop and Bishop's Conference.
Would it be a sin if a Catholic did not say the penitential prayers as a substitute for the Friday penance? Mortal or venial?
Some Bishops do not bind their members to even abstain, some allow substitutions (personally, I don't agree with this, but many Bishops allow[ed] this), others require abstaining.
Hello,I don't know how it is in the Italian Church, but in the United States, the USCCB has said that a substitution of penance is allowed - though the default is abstaining from meat. Current Canon Law does allow the Bishop's Conference to decide this.The question of whether this is prudent on the part of the Bishops is a whole different ball of wax.
It is a fairly common practice from what I have heard all over the Western Europe and North America. I am not quite sure where/when it started though.
Hello, I don't know, but I would venture a guess that it has something to do with the fact that meat is no longer the expensive and rare commodity in the Western culture that it once was.
I understand the concept of a hierarchy of Truths. But I don't see the difference on a practical level.

HONG KONG, China (CNN) -- Mining giant Rio Tinto has commented for the first time on bribery allegations in China against its employees, saying the claims are "wholly without foundation."
Rio Tinto signage scrolls past the opening bell at the Australian Stock Exchange in Sydney on June 5.
Earlier this month China detained four employees in Shanghai, including an Australian citizen, on charges of stealing state secrets. According to reports by government news agency China Daily, Rio Tinto is accused of bribing officials from China's top 16 steel mills to obtain market information.
The case has reverberated around the business world because of the growing importance of China for the global market. As developed economies struggle with the recession, China just reported this week GDP growth of nearly 8 percent from April to June.
"Rio Tinto believes that the allegations in recent media reports that employees were involved in bribery of officials at Chinese steel mills are wholly without foundation," said Sam Walsh, chief executive of the company's iron ore business, in a statement on the company Web site.
"We remain fully supportive of our detained employees, and believe that they acted at all times with integrity and in accordance with Rio Tinto's strict and publicly stated code of ethical behavior," the statement said.
"Rio Tinto remains very concerned about the four employees detained in Shanghai. The Australian Government is keeping the company fully briefed on its efforts to assist them. Rio Tinto will continue to work to support the employees and their families and colleagues."
A Rio Tinto spokesperson wouldn't comment on claims in the Australian media that the company has pulled staff from China, but the statement on the company Web site says, "Rio Tinto continues to operate in China and is maintaining high levels of iron ore shipments from Australia."
Rio Tinto was involved with negotiations on setting iron ore prices in China at the time of the arrests. China was demanding a cut in price larger than the 33 percent offered by producers -- a cut accepted by neighboring nations South Korea and Japan.
"Last year since October, the Chinese steel industry has suffered very hefty losses because of the plunge in steel prices, but they still have this high inventory cost which they acquired at the height of the iron ore prices," said Xianfang Ren, a senior analyst at Global Insight.
Other reports in state controlled media say mining companies have wined and dined by the Chinese iron ore negotiating team -- not illegal, analysts said, but questionable. Building relationships, or guanxi in Mandarin Chinese, has long been a part of Chinese culture and crucial to doing business here.
"The line between entertainment, public relations and government relations, and bribery, commercial bribery - it's kind of blurred here in China," Ren said.
The incident comes after Rio Tinto broke away from a $19.2 billion investment deal with state-owned Chinalco last month. The deal with Chinalco was signed in February and was awaiting a review by Australia's Foreign Investment Review Board. The deal soured as opposition party members ratcheted disapproval, saying it put Australian resources at strategic risk.
The week after the arrests, Chinalco released this statement: "Chinalco has been in contact with Rio Tinto expressing our mutual concern for the current situation with their staff. We have also reasserted that the situation is in no way related to any commercial dealings between Rio and Chinalco."
Both the U.S. and Australian governments have weighed in voicing concern about the arrests and transparency in doing business in China.

SCons / UicImageEmbedder
The SCons wiki has moved to https://github.com/SCons/scons/wiki/UicImageEmbedder
Qt's uic tool has the ability to embed binary images into a c++ source file. Trolltech call this an 'image collection'. While porting to scons the build system of a project that used this uic feature I developed a quick and dirty builder to do the job. I hope someone finds this useful.
The Builder
def embed_images( target, source, env ) : output_file_str = str(target[0]) input_files = [ str(src_item) for src_item in source ] input_files_str = ' '.join( input_files ) cmd_str = '%s -embed %s %s -o %s'%(env['QT_UIC'], env['project'], input_files_str, output_file_str) os.system( cmd_str ) def embed_images_message( target, source, env ) : print "Embedding images into", str(target[0]) for item in source : print "\t", str(item), "..." bld = Builder( action = Action(embed_images, embed_images_message), suffix = '.cxx', src_suffix = '' )
Note that the builder function relies on two variables being set in the current environment: QT_UIC (the location of the uic tool) and 'project'. 'project' should have the same value you used when using uic in your original Makefile, as explained on uic manpage:
Generate image collection: uic [options] -embed <project> <image1> <image2> <image3> ... <project>: project name <image[1..n]>: image files

Lions general manager Martin Mayhew told reporters Wednesday he has no reason to believe he and coach Jim Schwartz aren't safe, and that they have plenty of work to do.
Mayhew said he talked with owner William Clay Ford and his son, team vice chariman Bill, earlier in the week
"As far as I know we're going to be back," Mayhew said, via Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. "It could be like 'Survivor,' you know, when you go back and write somebody's name down.
"But no, as far as I know we're going to be back and I've spoken to Mr. Ford, I've spoken to Bill and we talked about our plans going forward and we're certainly working on getting things right."
After going 4-12, losing their final eight and not beating a single division opponent, there's enough work to go around. Mayhew said his biggest mistake may have been overestimating the talent of a team that returned 21 of 22 starters.
"I think that's quite possible," he said. "I certainly thought we were going to get some better performances."
While injuries that limited their starting secondary to one game together and kept running back Jahvid Best off the field were a factor, Mayhew said that the only player he saw improve was defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.
For a team with a tricky cap situation and 23 free agents, that means change is coming.
For one, Mayhew said he didn't see himself using the franchise tag this offsesaon, as they did for defensive end Cliff Avril last year.
He also said they needed to restructure or extend quarterback Matt Stafford's contract, to knock his cap number below his current $20-plus million charge.
Stafford, Suh and Calvin Johnson currently count nearly $50 million toward a cap expected to be around $121 million, so working on Stafford's deal will be necessary. Mayhew compared it to last year, when they had to give Johnson a new deal before the start of free agency.
That's good news for Stafford, who gets to negotiate from a position of strength his 2012 season might not otherwise indicate.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — Don't rub your eyes. It's real. As of this morning, the Charlotte Bobcats and Minnesota Timberwolves are both doing the unthinkable for two teams that have served as league-wide punching bags in recent seasons.
All the fun we've had at the expense of Bobcats owner Michael Jordan and Timberwolves boss David Kahn has been silenced by the winning ways, so far, of their respective teams. They are both 5-4 and battling their way to respectability while shaking off whatever adversity comes their way.
For all of the early-season shockers around the league, both good and bad, these two winning outfits have to rank at or near the top of the list of biggest surprises.
One of the better games of this young season was the 89-87 thriller they played against each other last week, the one where Kemba Walker's buzzer-beater gave the Bobcats their third straight win.
Last night's comeback win over the Milwaukee Bucks was another quality notch for Bobcats belt this season. They're digging out of that ugly hole from last season in the only way possible: with their heads down, their defensive style looking legitimate and contributions from up and down the roster.
It's more than most of us expected from a team with a new coach (Mike Dunlap), a new star (rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist) and plenty of other new faces added to the mix and continue to defy the odds. Jordan probably didn't see this coming, not this soon. They didn't win their fifth game during last year's lockout-shortened season until March 12, just so we're clear about how much progress has been made.
The Timberwolves are thriving on the other side of the conference divide without the services of their biggest stars. All-Star power forward Kevin Love (broken hand) and Ricky Rubio (recovering from torn ACL in left knee) have yet to suit up this season. Brandon Roy's comeback has been derailed by yet another knee procedure (he's expected to miss at least a month) and Chase Budinger is out three months after knee surgery).
But Rick Adelman, as he often does, has found a way to cobble together enough healthy bodies to make the Timberwolves a factor every night. Andre Kirilenko's return to the NBA has been a huge boost. He leads the team in rebounds (8.3) and blocks (2.2). Fellow Russian Alexey Shved has also made an impression during his first few weeks of NBA action, showing signs that he'll be a more than competent backup to Rubio, who, according to Jon Krawcynski of the Associated Press, has already started light practice workouts.
"Just having them five-on-(none) gives you a sense that when you get them back we'll be pretty good," Adelman said of having both Love and Rubio on the practice court. "We can't wait for them. We have to go out there and play. But it gives us a sense."
Love is expected back at the start of December and Rubio potentially a couple of weeks later, which couldn't come at a better time. After winning five of their first seven games, the Timberwolves have dropped two straight.
Getting by with a shorthanded roster can last for only so long. Nikola Pekovic, not exactly a household name, leads the team in scoring (15.3), with Kirilenko (14.1), Luke Ridnour (11.4), Shved (10.4) and Derrick Williams (10.4) the only other healthy players scoring in that range.
If they can manage for another few weeks or so, at least until the first wave of reinforcements arrive, both the Bobcats and Timberwolves might remain among the teams boasting .500 or better records around Christmas, too.

text: Hi all, Just looking for some information and/or recommendations on the various networking options available for building beowulfs. The beowulf in question would consist of ~1000 nodes. I'm aware of myrinet, dolphonics, fiber and of course the ethernet options. Also of concern is topology. If any of you can expand my knowledge (or point me to articles which will help me) in this regard, it is much appreciated. Even practical experience in terms of real-world latency, throughput and reliability of these various options would be helful, as well as knowing if they require the use of a proprietary MPI implementation (bad for us). thanks, Matt mp00aa at sandcastle.cosc.brocku.ca

Chocolate Ice Cream
First it was the crazy schedules I had and then subsequently I fell ill. When I am sick, I am sick for a long time especially when I am down with a cough.
I have changed prescription and this time, it seems to be working! Finally! Despite book marking some recipes but I still can't find my mojo back to baking. I guess I will just have to see how things are going forward this week.
Last week, my little one was doing a science experiment, making her own ice cream. I heard about this some time back from J. Seeing her getting into action was pretty comical. She is so driven with her task. Though it turned out as vanilla ice cream but I think it needed way too much arm power for it.
With such humid weather and my promise to the little one, I churned out Chocolate Ice Cream and a sorbet.
I adapted the recipe from Kitchen Corner and let me tell you, go for it! It is even better than store bought!
What you need:
4 egg yolks
75g caster sugar
1 tsp cornflour
300ml milk
150g dark chocolate
300ml whipping cream
Put the egg yolks, sugar and cornflour in a bowl and whisk until thick and foamy. Pour the milk into a heavy pan, bring just to the boil, then gradually pour the milk into a heavy pan, bring just to the boil, then gradually pour the milk on to the yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
Return the mixture to the pan and cook over a gentle heat, stirring constantly until the custard thickens and is smooth. Pour back into the bowl and stir in the chocolate until melted. Cover the custard closely, leave to cool, then chill for 6 hours or overnight.
Whip the cream until it has thicken, but is still soft enough to fall from a spoon. Fold it into the chilled custard and pour into an ice cream maker to churn for 20-25 minutes until thick.
Freeze for 5 - 6 hours until firm.

As promised (although there was a delay), here is LakerNation's exclusive interview with draft prospect Zach LaVine. Enjoy!
NBA draft prospect Zach LaVine spoke with Laker Nation's Johnny Navarrette in an exclusive interview to discuss the draft process experience, comparisons to Russell Westbrook, and also shared his thoughts about growing up a Lakers fan, Kobe Bryant, and the current state of basketball in Los Angeles. Be sure to watch LaVine's pre-draft workout below, presented by PureSweat and Laker Nation's own Sam Limon.
JN: Since leaving UCLA, how has the entire draft process experience been for you? Competing against the best young talent in the world, meeting with teams and media?
ZL: "It's been a lot of fun, just enjoying the process. You only get to go through it once or twice so it is definitely something that is enjoyable. I'm going in it full-hearted, very confident, and just ride through this process."
JN: There are some who feel you will be a shooting guard at the next level and some who feel you will be a point guard, what position do you see yourself playing in the NBA?
ZL: "A lot of people haven't seen me play point guard yet so they can't really play judgment on to it until they see me in person. I feel like I have been proving in these workouts that I can play and compete at the point guard position. I definitely feel comfortable with the ball in my hands but I am also not scared to shoot or score the ball as well because I feel that comes easy to me. I'm a player first so wherever the coach needs me to play at I'll do it but I definitely feel comfortable with the ball in my hand."
JN: Do you feel that you are underrated in this draft?
ZL: "I wouldn't say underrated. I'm going up and competing against dudes everyday, holding my own, and I feel like my stock keeps rising because I've been doing very well against everybody else, stacking up against the competition. I've been doubted a couple times so I guess you can say I'm underrated but I really don't let outside voices get to me or anything like that. I know what I can do, I'm a very confident person, and I put in the hard work so I don't let any of those distractions really mess with me."
JN: What areas of your game do you feel you need to improve in?
ZL: "I'm still 19-years old so my body is still maturing. I feel like I've added strength, I feel that will come naturally. I want to get my body stronger, add some weight like I said before and just learn a little bit more about off-ball defense, I feel like I am a pretty good on-ball defender. The grind and the process of the NBA lifestyle as well, you know you mess with 35-year old men so becoming more mature on and off the court as well."
JN: How big has working with Drew Hanlen (@DrewHanlen) been to you?
ZL: "It's been really good. I've been working a lot on pick-and-roll reads, sharpening up my ball handling skills, and just becoming more consistent with my jump shot, getting all these different finishes and getting in condition so it has been a lot of fun."
JN: What is one thing that he has taught you that changed who you are as a player?
ZL: "He's a really cool dude and one of my close friends now. He's been teaching me little tricks of the trade, dealing with NBA players before. I feel like I'm going to be working out with him in the future as well."
JN: The constant comparison when it comes to you is that of Russell Westbrook, another guard out of UCLA with elite athleticism. Do you think those comparisons are fair and who is the NBA player you model your game after the most?
ZL: "I see the Russell Westbrook comparisons a lot. I feel like we do don't play in the same way, he's a little bit more reckless than I am. He has a stronger body but athletically I feel we are on the same page. He pulls up on the break a lot, I like to pull up and I feel like I can get to the lane very easy and create. I feel like I play like Steph Curry as well with his dribbling and shooting ability off the dribble and one of my good friends Jamal Crawford, same body type, loose handles but still not that conventional point guard but has a lot of different moves to get a shot off on anybody. So I feel I have a little bit of all three of those players."
JN: With Jamal Crawford being a close friend, what has he done for you throughout this process?
ZL: "Jamal is a really cool dude and you can talk to him about anything. He's from the town like me so all the players from Seattle are definitely close to each other. He gives me little tricks of the trade, been around the block a couple of times so it's definitely something you look forward to talking to him about whenever you're struggling with something and need to know something."
JN: How was your experience at UCLA? Some questioned your decision to leave after one season, but what did you learn in college that made you feel that you were prepared to make the jump to the NBA?
ZL: "I felt it was my decision and felt it was the right time in my career to take that step. I'm a confident person; I'm not scared of challenges and feel that my game translates to the NBA pretty well. I learned life lessons, I had to deal with adversity, play at a level where you could see yourself at and just getting another year of experience. It was my freshman year, I enjoyed it, living and dying with the guys every game so it was definitely a great experience for me."
JN: Growing up a Lakers fan, was it surreal to workout for the Lakers in the pre-draft workout? How was the experience?
ZL: "It was a lot of fun. Growing up being a Laker fan, watching everything they do has been really fun for me. Then actually getting to workout for them, getting to put on that jersey is really cool and I took it all in, but at the same time I knew I had a job to do, try the best I could, and just impress."
JN: You set a Laker pre-draft workout record with a 46-inch vertical, are you surprised by the reaction it's getting?
ZL: "I mean I could see why, you don't see that everyday (laughs). I had I think a 45-inch vertical before at UCLA, 42 at the draft combine, so it depends some days on how you're feeling, I was little more pumped up that day. I feel like I did good overall. On the three quarter sprint I ran a 2.95 or something like that and the fastest at the combine was a 3.1, so I don't know if that is a record for the Lakers or not, but I feel like I did pretty well in all of them."
JN: Aaron Gordon said in an interview that he would be "tied at the hip" with Kobe Bryant if drafted by the Lakers, what would it mean to you to get drafted by the franchise and what would you hope to learn playing under Kobe?
ZL: "He's been my favorite player growing up. Not just because of his flashy game, but I love his demeanor. He's a killer, he puts in the work. I pat myself on always being one of the hardest workers on the team so you can learn everything from him. He's one of the greatest of all-time so it's definitely something I can look forward to picking his brain from."
JN: His work ethic and competitiveness is considered to be second to none, how do you think your work ethic and attitude would mesh with Kobe, someone who demands greatness from his teammates?
ZL: "He can see someone who he can see as his younger self. I feel like I have a very high competitive nature as well, someone that works extremely hard and is very focused. Hopefully he would have a good reaction to it, I know at the end of the day he's still going out there trying to kill you, it's Kobe Bryant."
JN: Being a fan, you know the expectations of the team and players are high in Los Angeles when it comes to the Lakers. How would you handle those expectations?
ZL: "There are expectations but you can only handle what you can handle. You go out there and try to do the best you can, work hard, try to win, and do the best to your abilities. Knowing me, if I got dressed up to be a Laker, I would be extremely happy. I feel like my game fits LA. I'm excited to play out there, I feel like I can get the crowd off their feet. It's the Lakers, it's show time, and I feel like my game is little bit of show time. I definitely feel like I can reach those expectations."
JN: The Lakers and Clippers have somewhat flip flopped roles in Los Angeles in terms of success. What are your feelings on the current state of LA basketball?
ZL: "Lakers are one of the best franchises of all-time, so they are going to get back where they should be in the standings and in the rankings. Every team goes through its ups and downs, it just happens. The Clippers are a great team as well, they had their downs and now they are at the top of the pedestal so the Lakers are trying to get back up there."
JN: Finally, what is your message to Laker Nation about why you are the right choice for the Lakers?
ZL: "I'm a player you can bank on, who is always going to be in the gym working hard, working on their game. Someone who fits the play-style, fits the face of LA that I feel that I am an exciting player and I'll do anything to win. I'm competitive, I'm a team player, and I just feel like my game fits LA."

Exclusive mix-tape released today as well by LaVine's camp:

Serves: Makes 4 servings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon dried sage
- ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ¾ teaspoon grated orange zest (from ½ orange)
- 1 tablespoon drained chopped capers
- ¼ cup chopped green olives
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 2 6-ounce cans tuna packed in olive oil
- ½ teaspoon wine vinegar
- ¾ pound linguine
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Procedures:Provençal herbs and orange zest complement the oil-rich tuna, creating a quick and delicious sauce for pasta.
Use tuna packed in olive oil since the oil is used in the sauce. If your tuna doesn't have at least one-and-a-half tablespoons of oil per can, add a little more oil to make up the difference. You can use tuna packed in vegetable oil, but avoid water-packed tuna as it is missing the flavor and nutrients found in oil-packed tuna.
In a medium frying pan, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the garlic, sage, and rosemary and stir until the garlic just starts to brown (2 to 3 minutes). Stir in the orange zest, capers, olives, salt, pepper, and tuna with its oil. Remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar.
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the linguine until just done, about 12 minutes. Drain the pasta and toss with the tuna sauce and parsley.

It's not difficult to write a TFTP server. (The "trivial" in the name is a hint for those that haven't tried it.) It's difficult to write a reliable scalable one.

I'm current doing classical exponential > backoff, 1 second delay, then two, then four etc. Will that bite me? Where are you you doing exponential back-off? For the TFTP client? The TFTP client will/should/might do a retry every second. (Background: TFTP uses "ACK" of the previous packet to mean "send the next one". The only way to detect this is a retry is timing.) The client might do a re-ARP first. In corner cases it might not reply to ARP itself. [[ Step up on the soapbox. ]] What idiot thought that exponential backoff was a good idea? Exponential backoff doesn't make sense where your base time period is a whole second and you can't tell if the reason for no response is failure, busy network or no one listening. My guess is that they were just copying Ethernet, where modified, randomized exponential backoff is what makes it magically good. Exponential backoff makes sense at the microsecond level, where you have a collision domain and potentially 10,000 hosts on a shared ether. Even there the idea of "carrier sense" or 'is the network busy' is what enables Ethernet to work at 98+% utilization rather than the 18% or 37% theoretical of Aloha Net. (Key difference: deaf transmitter.) What usually happens with DHCP and PXE is that the first packet is used getting the NIC to transmit correctly. The second packet is used to get the switch to start passing traffic. The third packet get through but we are already well into the exponential fallback. PXE would be much better and more reliable if it started out transmitting a burst of four DHCP packets even spaced in the first second, then falling back to once per second. If there is a concern about DHCP being a high percentage of traffic in huge installations running 10baseT, tell them to buy a server. Or, like, you know, a router. Because later the ARP traffic alone will dwarf a few DHCP broadcasts. > I'm doing round-robin, but I don't see how to throttle active > connections: do I need to do that, or just limit total bandwidth? Yes, you need to throttle active TFTP connections. The clients currently winning can turn around a next-packet request really quickly. If a few get in lock step, the server will have the next chunk of the file warm in the cache. This is the start of locking out the first loser. You can't just let the ACKs queue up in the socket as a substitute for deferring responses either. You have to pull them out ASAP and mark that client as needing a response. This doesn't cost very much. You need to keep the client state structure anyway. This is just one more bit, plus updating the timeval that you should be keeping anyway. > >> It's maybe worth giving a bit of background here: dnsmasq is a > >> lightweight DNS forwarder and DHCP server.

OTOH if you use dnsmasq to provide your name service you > might not need the linear assignment. I consider naming and numbering an important detail. The freedom to assign arbitrary names and IP addresses is a useful flexibility in a workstation environment. But for a compute room or cluster you want regular names and automatic-but-persistent IP addresses. We assign compute nodes a small integer node number the first time we accept them into the cluster. This is the node's persistent ID unless the administrator manually changes it. We used to allow node specialization based on MAC address as well as node number. The idea was the MAC address identified the specific machine hardware (e.g. extra disks or a frame buffer, server #6 of 16 in a PVFS array), while the node number might be used to specialize for a logical purpose. What we quickly found was that mostly-permanent node number assignment was a useful simplification. We deprecated using MAC specialization in favor of the node number being used for both physical and logical specialization. Just like you don't want your home address to change when a house down the street burns down, you don't want node IP addresses or node numbering to change. But you want automatic numbering when the street is extended or a new house is built on a vacant lot, with a manual override saying this house replaces the one that burnt down. [[ Do I get extra points for not using an automotive analogy? I can throw them away with "You don't care about the cylinder numbering in your car.

PXE does have UUIDs, a universally unique ID that is distinct from MAC addresses. If you implement from the spec, you can use the UUID to pass out IP addresses and avoid the messiness of using the MAC address. I know I have the first machine built with the feature. It has the UUID with all zeros :-O. Then I have a whole bunch of other machines that must have been built for other universes because they have exactly the same all-zeros ID. Even when the UUID is distinct, it doesn't uniquely ID the machine. Different NICs on the same machine have different UUIDs, meaning you can not detect that it's the same machine you got a request from a few seconds ago. Bottom line: UUIDs are wildly useless. We address the multi-NIC case, along with a few others, by only assigning a persistent node number after the machine boots and runs a test program. The test program is elegantly simple: a Linux-based DHCP client. The request packets have an option field of all MAC addresses. (BTW, this is the same DHCP client code originally written to do PXE scalability tests.) -- Donald Becker becker at scyld.com Scyld Software Scyld Beowulf cluster systems 914 Bay Ridge Road, Suite 220 www.scyld.com Annapolis MD 21403 410-990-9993

Land O'Lakes Offering Lower Sodium Deli Cheese
In response to the consumer trend toward healthier living, St. Paul, Minn.-based Land O'Lakes introduces Land O Lakes 30% Less Sodium American Deli Cheese Product, an American deli cheese with 30 percent less sodium than its regular American deli cheese, but with a full-flavor, creamy cheese taste thanks to the addition of sea salt.
Land O'Lakes, the makers of America's No. 1 selling deli cheese, is the only service deli cheese manufacturer featuring a less sodium American cheese made with sea salt, and is part of a company effort to introduce innovation and healthy living to the deli category.
Land O Lakes 30% Less Sodium American Deli Cheese Product can be found behind the deli counter in your local grocery store or deli throughout Conn., Del., Fla., Ga., N.H., Maine, Md., Mass., N.J., N.Y., N.C., Pa., R.I., S.C., Vt., Va. and W.Va. A broad green band stretches across the width of the loaf and calls out the feature. Retailers receive the product in 5-lb. blocks, which deli operators can then slice fresh to order, similar to other cheese found in the service deli.
"We strive to offer a product that has both great taste and is better for you," says Land O'Lakes Deli Brand Manager Erin Gislason. "It's a delicate balance to manage, but with the addition of sea salt to this product, Land O Lakes 30% Less Sodium American Deli Cheese Product really does deliver on both promises."

In Egypt, Rare Police Brutality Trial Draws Scrutiny
The trial of two policemen charged in the death of a man whose case has captured widespread international attention begins Tuesday in Egypt.
Prosecution of police officers is rare in the country, where security forces for decades have enjoyed broad powers and acted with impunity under President Hosni Mubarak.
But many government critics and human rights activists say this case could prove a turning point and help end what they describe as a deeply rooted culture of police brutality.
Some 100 protesters gathered recently outside of the Supreme Court in Cairo to mark the 40th day since the death of Khaled Said. Witnesses say two plainclothes policemen dragged away the 28-year-old man from an Internet cafe in the northern city of Alexandria on June 6 after he refused to show them his identification.
The witnesses say they dared not interfere as they watched the officers repeatedly slam Said's head into nearby stone steps until he was dead.
In Cairo, the protesters shouted about police abuse and injustice. They handed out fliers and tweeted from their cell phones.
Stern-looking police officers in armored vests surrounded them. The show of force was intimidating and most passersby steered clear. But the small demonstration was allowed to continue.
Protestor Mohammad Wakid thinks that's because officials hope to minimize public reaction.
"It's up to them to decide which cost they want to bear, you know?" Wakid said. "For that crowd, it will be -- in my opinion -- the cost will be 20 times bigger when there are arrests."
Public Backlash
The Interior Ministry, which oversees the police, declined to be interviewed by deadline for this story.
But the police response highlights the sensitivity surrounding the case. Adding to the pressure was a statement issued by European Union officials expressing concern about the circumstances surrounding Said's death.
"Every family in Egypt has a story of its young members being stopped and searched or asked for identification cards arbitrarily by the police," said Hossam Bahgat, who heads the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights. "The fact that such a routine practice could actually lead to the death of the person being stopped was particularly shocking to families."
Public backlash grew after the Interior Ministry claimed Said was a drug user who choked to death on a packet of marijuana found in his throat.
But many people believe police put it there. Witnesses say police took Said away after he died, and returned a short while later and dumped the body.
With the Egyptian government weakened by economic woes and lingering rumors about Mubarak's poor health, many hope the case will help bring about improved police accountability. Some senior Egyptian officials, including Mubarak's son, have spoken out against the officers.
Still, there seem to be limits as to how far the Egyptian government is willing to go. For example, the officers going on trial in Alexandria are not charged with murder or wrongful death. They are instead accused of using excessive force and illegally arresting Said.
Government critics complain that police brutality continues unabated.
Aida Seif el Dawla, a university professor who heads a group dealing with Egyptian victims of torture, cites a half-dozen alleged incidents in the weeks following Said's death, including a man who was thrown out of a third-story window of a police building.
"That is in one month, so there is absolutely no change," she said. "As a matter of fact, if I look at it from a distance, I'd say the Ministry of Interior is telling everybody, 'Well, we don't care, OK? We just go on doing what we're doing.'"
Dawla and others say they believe the Egyptian government is also pressuring Said's once-vocal family to keep quiet.
Last week Said's relatives fired activist lawyers who were representing them. Activists say the family is also avoiding interviews.
Said's brother Ahmed Kassem who had agreed last week to be interviewed by NPR had his phone switched off at the appointed time. There was no answer on his number during subsequent attempts to contact him.

True crime writer explores a shocking Texas murder
When a young Baptist pastor just outside Waco was found guilty of murdering his wife, "48 Hours" showed up. So did "20/20." And across the country, people started talking about Matt Baker.
Kathryn Casey knew this would happen. When the trial started in 2010, the Houston writer drove to Waco and showed up at the McLennan County courthouse. Day after day, she sat quietly in the courtroom, watching people, taking notes. And she was still there weeks later, when Matt Baker — a 38-year-old pastor and father of young daughters — was handed a 65-year sentence for killing his wife, 31-year-old Kari Baker, and staging her death as a suicide.
Soon after Matt Baker was found guilty, Casey, who has lived in Houston since 1980, got to work. She set up interviews with the prosecutor and defense attorney. She sorted through the physical evidence. Later, she sat down with family members, friends and people who had worked with Matt or Kari Baker - about 80 people in all.
The result: "Deadly Little Secrets," which was released this summer and is her seventh true-crime book.
"I specialize in Texas crime," Casey said recently at her home in northwest Houston. "Unfortunately, I don't have to leave the state; there's always something going on. I can't cover them all, there are so many."
Casey, who earned a journalism degree at the University of Houston, started out as a magazine and freelance writer.
"In all honesty, I didn't start out to be a crime writer," she said. "It just happened."
She was assigned by magazines to cover some of the state's big trials and crime stories, and in the early '90s Casey realized that some of those stories would make fascinating books.
HarperCollins published her first, "The Rapist's Wife," in 1995. (It's since been reissued with the title "Evil Beside Her.") It was a case close to home, the story of a Clear Lake woman who couldn't convince police that the serial rapist attacking Houston-area women was her husband.
In fact, Casey's true crime books are filled with domestic unrest.
"Shattered," published in 2010, told the story of David Temple, who is serving a life sentence for the 1999 murder of his wife in their Katy home. In 2005, "She Wanted it All" focused on Celeste Beard, who married a Texas millionaire and then took his life. And 2007's "Die, My Love" was the story of Piper Rountree, who killed her husband in a bitter divorce.
The case of Matt and Kari Baker, then, was an obvious choice for Casey. When Kari Baker died in 2006, the local police ruled it a suicide right away — and, apparently, without much thought.
"Can you imagine?" Casey said. "A 31-year-old woman on a bedroom floor — There's a typed, unsigned suicide note, and no one ordered an autopsy. It's insane."
Some of Kari Baker's family members were certain she hadn't killed herself, and they wouldn't let it go. When the police wouldn't help, Kari's family investigated Matt Baker themselves until they found convincing evidence he could be her killer.
Before Kari died, she told a therapist and at least one friend that she suspected Matt might be planning to kill her. In her Bible, she wrote a prayer for her own safety. But no one took that suspicion seriously enough to act on it.
Casey's book — a methodical, chronological account — shows that Kari Baker might still be alive today if she and others hadn't hesitated to speak up, compare notes and voice their suspicions that her husband was not the virtuous man of God he claimed to be.
"These cases have a lot of lessons in them, and there are a couple in the Baker book," Casey said. "One of them is that when we see something's really wrong, we have to speak up. The other is that you can't assume law enforcement is going to do the right thing."
Casey said she often forms lasting relationships with her sources, who are the families and friends of the victims. They send her Christmas cards and show up at her book signings.
Defendants' families can be reluctant to talk to her - though some of them do.
"I understand that it's emotional for them," she said. "I understand that they really would prefer that I wasn't there."
Casey's books tell different stories, but they all show how relationships gone wrong can become dangerous.
"I get emails all the time from women who are in abusive relationships," Casey said, "and they say, 'I suddenly realized that I need to get out. This is not going to get better, and I could end up dying.' "

Eskom pays for coal it can't use
Eskom won't be able to claw back the approximately R2-billion it has paid in penalties to mining company Exxaro under a coal supply agreement for the long-delayed Medupi power station.
This is according to Exxaro, which received just under R1.6-billion and R352-million in penalties from Eskom, in 2013 and 2012 respectively.
The coal has not yet been delivered, and the penalties are likely to continue mounting in 2014.
Exxaro is contracted to supply Medupi with coal from its expanded Grootgeluk mine. But extensive delays in the completion of the power station have meant that Eskom has not been able to use the coal it agreed to procure.
"In terms of the coal supply agreement ... Eskom has an obligation to keep Exxaro value neutral, meaning that changes to the agreement due to delays in the construction of the power station should put Exxaro in the same financial position it would have been had the Medupi power station been on time and hence taken the coal," Exxaro executive Mzila Mthenjane told the Mail & Guardian.

"Since the ramp-up of coal has not started due to Medupi power station delays, the coal supply agreement caters for the shortfall payment of R1.6-billion in 2013 and R352-million in 2012."
The mining company booked the revenues under "other income" in its annual financial results released in early March, stating that the amounts related "to shortfall income received from customers as a result of delays in agree[d] upon production off-take plans".
The company said Eskom would not be able to reclaim the costs, but that it was in negotiations to try to mitigate the impact on the utility.
Medupi's first unit was initially scheduled to be commissioned by 2011, but it is only expected to come on line by the end of this year.
The penalties seem set to continue.
Following the release of its annual results, Exxaro financial director Wim de Klerk told Miningmx that another R1.6-billion is expected to be paid over to Exxaro for the coming 2014 financial year.
Waiting on Eskom
Mthenjane confirmed this and that although Exxaro had planned to supply six million tonnes of coal to Medupi in 2014 it was unlikely to happen as it is waiting on "Eskom to advise how many tonnes they will require this year".
Exxaro did not indicate how much coal had been delivered in 2012 or 2013, referring questions to Eskom.
According to its 2012 June interim results, however, Exxaro had made initial deliveries to Medupi in the first half of that year.
In terms of the supply agreement, once the power station is complete, Exxaro is meant to supply Medupi with 14.6-million tonnes of coal a year. But according to its 2012 June interim results, Exxaro had at least made initial deliveries of coal to the still incomplete Medupi in the first half of that year.
Eskom told the M&G that the coal has not been supplied, but it will start taking deliveries in May.
When asked whether there was any hope the utility could recoup costs for coal it cannot use because of Medupi's delays Eskom said: "The Medupi coal supply agreement with Exxaro has been extended to ensure that Medupi's coal requirements are still met."

Find a list with a secure and fast one in the UK. If you use Firefox, install the FoxyProxy add-on. Configure it to use this proxy (you can even set it to only use this proxy for bbc, but avoid the proxy for all other traffic). It's pretty straightforward, so I won't get into it here.

There are some last minute, highly speculative rumors circulating that Apple's "And touch" in their iPad 3 event invitation may refer to their use of electrostatic technology to dynamically simulate textures on the display. The Next Web's Matthew Panzarino threw it out as wild speculation last night:
Imagine a touch sensitive screen that could take on the friction properties of paper, the plastic of a keyboard or the rough resistance of a patch of grass. The possibilities for art, learning and gaming are immense.
Both The Guardian and Pocket-Link have now jumped on the same electrostatic bandwagon. All of them focus on a small Swedish startup called Senseg that has developed a system called E-Sense which appears to give texture to a touchscreen.
By using "tixels" generated by electric fields from elements embedded around the screen, it can make areas of the screen feel rough, ridged or rounded – and change those just as the screen pixels can change.
The technology transmits electro-vibration stimulus via an ultra-thin coating which is applied to the touch interface on a device. The coating can be applied to almost any surface and because there are no moving parts, it can be applied to any size of device.
Senseg patented solution creates a sophisticated sensation of touch using Coloumb's force, the principle of attraction between electrical charges. By passing an ultra-low electrical current into the insulated electrode, Senseg's Tixel™, the proprietary charge driver can create a small attractive force to finger skin. By modulating this attractive force a variety of sensations can be generated, from textured surfaces and edges to vibrations and more.
This is a really long shot and one I would personally file in the crazy rumors section. Maybe all this sudden attention on electrostatic touch feedback is purely coincidence but who would bet against Apple products using this technology in the near future; if it's not already part of the iPad 3.
Check out the links below for more speculation and video demonstrations of the technology. What do you think, could this be Apple's big surprise?

Goals: Melbourne: J Watts 3 C Pedersen 2 D Tyson 2 A Riley B Vince C Dawes J Kennedy-Harris J Viney M Jones N Jones. Richmond: B Lennon 2 S Edwards 2 D Jackson D Martin J Riewoldt S Lloyd T Cotchin.
BEST Melbourne: N. Jones, Howe, Tyson,Watts, Pedersen, Viney, Grimes. Richmond: Martin, Cotchin, Jackson, Deledio, Edwards, Grigg.
INJURIES Melbourne: Jetta (gastro) replaced in selected side by Toumpas. Richmond: Astbury (knee), Cotchin (ankle).
Umpires: Ben Ryan, Mathew Nicholls, Leigh Fisher.
Official Crowd: 56,910 at MCG.
Jack Watts has fronted post-game inquisitions and kept his chin up in some solemn and gloomy changerooms through his five-and-a-bit seasons as a Demon, so deserved to air his take on happier times.
"I think in the past we've thought that individually we had to do something special to win a game of AFL footy," Watts said after Saturday's collegiate win. "Whereas if every player just plays his role when it's his turn to go, that's when you win games of footy."
Even with the mandatory modern leaning on "the process", it summed up where the Demons were better than Richmond, and are getting better in general.
Nathan Jones went head-to-head with Trent Cotchin, having done so this season with Marc Murphy and Gary Ablett. His cause was helped by an ankle injury to the Tigers' captain, yet he kept churning away for the team good. Jones' 13 last-quarter possessions were back-breaking for an ailing opponent.
Up forward, Chris Dawes and Cameron Pedersen laid eight tackles each – Dawes in what his coach Paul Roos said wasn't a great personal game, but one in which he was his team's general, while Pedersen won the one-on-one contests that Damien Hardwick would rue as being key to the result.
"That's a great stat for two of our big boys to have 16 tackles between them," Watts said, noting the emphasis Roos has placed on his forwards "rolling up" to close off the corridor.
Max Gawn and Mark Jamar pushed forward to stretch an opposition defence that lost David Astbury in the third quarter, was already under pressure and thereafter couldn't hold back the tide. Jack Grimes went to a rampant Dustin Martin and matched him for output, Dom Tyson and Jack Viney played like the on-ballers on the rise that they undoubtedly are.
Jeremy Howe's reading of the incoming ball was a highlight, launching himself skyward and plucking marks deep in defence that were as thrilling as those in his earlier incarnation as a leaping forward. With Richmond still clinging on, he loped through a vacant middle and speared a pass to Jay Kennedy-Harris that gave the Demons a game-high 16-point lead that made safe a win of merit.
"That's the beautiful thing about Howey down back, when he flies for those marks ... as a forward you can see he's going to elevate and take a mark from an oppo kick, we can read it and go bang out to the other side," Watts said. "It gives us a lot of predictability as a team. He's embraced that role, he's playing fantastically well."
The gods were supposed to be with the Tigers but they were on the wrong end of some head-banging moments. Nathan Jones, with the game's first, and Tyson both kicked goals with the help of ripping leg-break bounces. When Watts blasted a floating, wobbling mongrel punt to full-forward, it landed in Aiden Riley's lap surrounded by three Tigers.
Every Richmond miss amplified the drums of doom. Through the game's middle quarters they kicked 2.5 and 2.6. Shaun Grigg fluffed three gettable shots in open play in little more than five minutes either side of half-time; Ben Griffiths can kick it a country mile, but Tiger fans yearned for him to simply kick it straight; he too kicked three behinds.
Hardwick admitted to erring in subbing out Shaun Hampson just after the long break. Even though his replacement Ben Lennon had joined the goal-from-first-kick club before the scoreboard even announced his arrival, Astbury's knee collapsing soon after as Viney sold him a most painful dummy left his team a rotation down.
Cotchin was having treatment in the rooms at the time, and had to pull his boot back on and wince back into battle. Not surprisingly, his coach wished he had more than one of him.
A tone of sorts was set in the opening minute when Reece Conca hesitated inside his defensive arc and Dawes mowed him down, dispossessing the Tiger with a seemingly perfect tackle. No free was paid – then, or for the next 17 minutes.
Finally the first infringement of the game was spotted when Gawn really was gone, but only eight frees were paid to half-time, building to 24 for the afternoon. Holding the ball, in particular, seemed to have been a silent victim of Joe Hockey's federal budget.
Watts' third goal – screwed around the body after positioning himself perfectly at the drop of the ball – illustrated perfectly Roos' assessment that his players are learning where to be for each and every contest. Beaming, Watts summed it up. "This is what footy's about, isn't it?"
