My bills are paid
And everything's okay
It's like every day here
Summertime in L. A
[Verse 1: Game]
I'm from Compton, home of the fiends
Home of the monsters, home of triple beams
Home of the shattered fucking dreams
Where most niggas I grew up with ain't make it to see they teens
Ain't no Freddy, ain't no Jason, but niggas too scared to dream
And they ripping pages out of them books bout Dr. King
You don't wanna know half the shit I seen
Where reading a magazine get you hit with a magazine
Niggas ain't scared to murder cause the jails too packed
Kill a nigga, he be out before the "R.I.P." tat
I seen Raider snapbacks by Starter
Then I seen Dre make that Sox hat harder
Then I seen Makavelli go at Shawn Carter
Then I seen that block where B. I. G. Got slaughtered
Then I knew it was my calling
G the fuck up or die balling
Lace them red Chucks up, but die falling
[Verse 2: Nipsey Hussle]
I'm rising in this game and it feels great
Still trying to keep it real, niggas still fake
I'm so impatient, but I still wait
Dropped The Marathon in November, niggas still late
Still show love when I feel hate
On a scale of one to ten, need a high heel eight
Or better, blowing this cheddar like I'm Bill Gates
Whatever, I'm in to win til this movie ends
Smoking California, eating Peruvian
Out on Miami Beach, my niggas, a few of them
Just like Beverly Hills, the bitches we usually wear
From wishing on a star, nigga, took it far
And if I lost it all to war, I wouldn't trip at all
It sound crazy when I say it
But the fear of falling off is the only thing that could take it
I'm straight
[Verse 3: Game]
I got my hoodie on, it's a Starter
I'm a rock this motherfucker for Trayvon Martin
I'm a rock this motherfucker for Trayvon's daughter
That he coulda had; where's his killer at? The whole hood is mad
That ain't the first time, won't be the last
See reflections of my past while I guzzle through this glass
Make me want to run up on you with the muzzle - "Where the cash? "
Retaliation is none, niggas can't afford the gas
Got a mansion in the Hills, Rottweilers by the gates
Red Ghost's in the driveway and ducks by the lake
Spending time with my daughter so them ducks gotta wait
Let a nigga call it a duck, he gonna eat A. 38
I'm supposed to be this fucking rich
I'm supposed to be this fucking great
I'm a menace to society, no Larenz Tate
But me and my niggas straight and

U.S. Men Eliminated from World Cup Following 2-1 Loss vs. Ghana
NUREMBERG, Germany (June 22, 2006) – Behind a penalty kick goal at the end of the first half, Ghana eliminated the United States, 2-1, from the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
In the other Group E finale, Italy topped the Czech Republic, 2-0, to win the group with seven points. Ghana finished in second with six points, while the Czech Republic was third with three points.
"U.S. Soccer has a bright future. I think in another group we would have had a better chance to advance," said U.S. Manager Bruce Arena. "I think we were among the top half of the teams in this tournament. Despite the two losses, I think we demonstrated that we can play.
"You see some of the other groups, some of the games are very lopsided. This group was a real battle. I'm proud to have been in this group and survived into day three. We're disappointed and we think we could have advanced today. I'm sure the Ghanian team says the same thing and they certainly did, so give them credit."
In the 22nd minute, Ghana got on the board when Claudio Reyna turned the ball over and Haminu Draman was in free vs. Kasey Keller and scored.
Reyna, who suffered a sprained MCL on the play, was taken off on a stretcher, but returned to the field in the 27th minute. He would only play another 13 minutes, however, as he was substituted out in favor of Ben Olsen, who was making his World Cup debut.
DaMarcus Beasley created the first chance for the U.S., battling three Ghana players and forcing a bad pass. He dribbled behind the defense and sent an early cross that Clint Dempsey buried first time to even the score at 1-1 in the 43rd minute.
Then, in first-half stoppage time, referee Markus Merk called a penalty as Oguchi Onyewu won a challenge with Razak Pimpong at the top of the area. Stephen Appiah buried the penalty kick and Ghana took the one-goal lead into the locker room at the half.
"It's extremely disappointing," Keller said. "We put ourselves in position to be able to advance in the third game. Obviously, we're disappointed with the decision of the referee, but at the end of it we didn't make the plays that we needed to make. It's as simple as that."
The U.S. brought on Eddie Johnson for Steve Cherundolo in the 61st minute and the change sparked the U.S. offense. In the 66th minute, Eddie Lewis dribbled to the end line on the left wing before driving a low cross that Brian McBride re-directed off the near post. One minute later, Oneywu's attempt off a Landon Donovan corner kick went just high.
For the remainder of the match the U.S. pressured, but Ghana did as well. The game opened up and was end to end, but neither team was able to convert their chances.
Olsen made his World Cup debut … Jimmy Conrad made his first World Cup start …. The U.S. was without Pablo Mastroeni and Eddie Pope, who were suspended for their red cards earned vs. Italy on June 17 … The U.S. is now 0-1-0 vs. Ghana all time … The U.S. has an overall 6-16-3 record in the World Cup, including 2-4-2 under Bruce Arena

Former Kotaku intern Andrew Freedman is making us proud at his university's daily newspaper. Check out his latest piece on "The Peach Bowl," a college charity Smash Bros. tournament.
Courtney Whitmire, a freshman at the University of Maryland, suffered tragedy this year when flooding wiped out her house and most of her small town in Georgia. Working together with people in her dorm, Whitmire and some other students organized a tournament that would donate its buy-in money to flood relief efforts in her hometown.
"It clicked all of a sudden," sophomore English major Quinn Hargitai said. "We love to play Smash Bros. - we play it all the time. We never study."
It's an awesome idea and a fine bit of reporting on our ex-intern's part. It seems like only yesterday Freedman was updating our massive photo galleries and checking my spelling. They grow up so fast!

"Project X" puts you right in the center of the action—in this case, what may be the biggest onscreen party of all time. Or to put it another way, says "Project X" co-star Jonathan Daniel Brown, the movie has an "anti-authoritarian" vibe similar to the Occupy movement, "just without the whole reforming government thing. And getting drunk and meeting girls."
The R-rated teen comedy, produced by "The Hangover" director Todd Phillips, stars Thomas Mann as Thomas, whose 17th birthday celebration promises to be epic thanks to his best friends Costa (Oliver Cooper) and JB (Brown), who believe a legendary party is the ticket to the social status and female attention they crave. What results turns a Pasadena neighborhood into a booming, boozing, frequently topless bash that escalates into full-fledged pandemonium.
At Smart Bar, Mann, 20, Cooper and Brown (both 22) talked about a party that's like a tornado, what parents and grandparents will think of the debauchery onscreen, and the raucous crowd at the previous night's screening at the Vic in Lakeview. And Brown reminds us the movie's not just for dudes: "When they tested the movie, they polled all the women in the audience and they said, 'Do you think the nudity is not enough, excessive or fine?'" he says. "And they all were like, 'It's fine.' The women were OK with the nudity, and consequently so were the guys."
What's the craziest question you got at last night's screening?
Jonathan Daniel Brown: So RedEye's an alt press, so we can like swear and stuff?
You can say whatever you want.
JDB: Ok, this is more of an uncensored …
Thomas Mann: Some guy he said to us, "Why aren't you drunk, p***y?"
JDB: That was like our second question.
TM: That really set the tone for the rest of the evening.
How do you answer that? "I am drunk; I'm just hiding it."
TM: "No, we actually just got off a plane."
Oliver Cooper: It was super awkward.
TM: It got better though. We just had to feel it out for a second.
Have you gotten a lot of those questions?
JDB: All of our Q&As have been super, super, super, pretty reserved, and people raise their hands and ask a question about the actual film—
TM: Pretty structured and professional—
JDB: The Chicago one, it was packed with like 500 people and I guess there was drinking and there was merriment and everybody stuck around ... So by the time the Q&A came it wasn't really people raising their hands and asking questions. People just shouting stuff like "Show us your boobs!"
OC: Someone asked, "Do you have a boner?"
JDB: It was probably to me.
TM: I don't know who it was to specifically. Maybe to the three of us collectively.
JDB: Collective boner. Which is also the name of my new band.
TM: They're playing the Vic every Friday night.
The movie does a great job of bringing people into the party. Did you have any run-ins with the cops during filming?
JDB: Yes, actually! That's the first time that's been asked, and that's so cool. We actually had the Burbank police try to crash the set a few times because of noise complaints.
TM: We were on the Warner Bros. lot, but then there were real neighborhoods surrounding the area. It was like a real party.
Did you go and warn them?
OC: "Guys, I play the lead actor in the movie, just give us a break."
TM: "You guys need a warrant to come search our lot."
OC: We overheard a talk about it, "We may not be allowed to do the helicopter shot, or we're not going to be able to keep playing [the music.]" The big thing was we played the music—
JDB: All night—
OC: During takes and not during takes to keep the energy flowing so it does feel really real, the party stuff. And it does in the movie. So that was really hard 'cause it's four in the morning and you're blasting Kid Cudi. Neighbors were probably like, "What the hell is going on?" For six weeks straight.
JDB: You also live next to a movie lot, so …
OC: It's your fault, yeah.
So not only could this party probably not happen in real life, you almost can't even make a movie out of it.
JDB: There's no way this could happen in real life. The cops would come in 5 seconds flat. But thanks to movie magic …
TM: That's the cool thing about this movie. It transcends …
JDB: It transcends the police.
TM: It transcends the authorities. They come and they leave.
JDB: This movie's very punk rock.
What would you say to someone who's thinking of seeing it with their parents?
JDB: Go for it!
TM: It'll be interesting.
JDB: I'm taking my parents to the premiere.
TM: I think parents can enjoy it too. My dad, when he saw the trailer, he was like, "It reminds me of being in college and those kind of parties that I threw."
JDB: Thomas Mann's dad was an animal!
TM: My point is people of all ages feel the nostalgia.
OC: I agree too. And I also think two generations, like my grandparents, their generation might not feel so comfortable with a movie like this. But my parents' generation is very liberal and I think not everybody but a lot of them are to the point of like this is fun for them to watch.
So bring the parents, not the grandparents.
TM: Bring especially the grandparents! They're going to be extra shocked.
JDB: It's always fun seeing some guy in his 50s make some comment about how "Project X" looks offensive. It's like, "When you were 20 years old, 'Animal House' was in theaters and you were probably getting trashed and cracking up as Belushi and everybody did their thing." Every generation has their party movie, and I really hope that this one is ours. I love "Can't Hardly Wait." I loved "Dazed and Confused." I loved "Animal House." I just feel like this is a natural progression.
I'm sure some people will say it shows something terrible about the youth of America.
JDB: "Santorum 2012."
TM: It's not like kids have just started recently in this generation getting [bleeped] up at a young age and having sex and all that.
JDB: Haven't you seen "300?"
TM: But this one it's like you're right there in the action and people are all of a sudden, it's too real for them and back away.
OC: People get like this about movies all the time. It's like, "Get over yourself."
JDB: If anything, I do think this movie actually would discourage somebody from partying too hard because you're right there in the eye of the storm the whole time.
TM: Yeah, we do really make it look unappealing by the end of the movie. We look disgusting.
OC: And it makes you not want to host the party. You want to go to a party...
JDB: Yeah. It's like, "I would love to party, just not at my house."
OC: I don't want to host that party. That sounds terrible.
TM: It looks fun to a point.
How do you think your partying compares to the level of partying for the three "Hangover" guys?
JDB: Well, the good thing about this party is we actually get to see it. The "Hangover" party, you see pictures …
TM: This is like the portion of "The Hangover" that you don't get to see. The picture portion of it. So yeah, I think we hold our own.
Is a party better if you forget most of it, or is it better if you can remember?
JDB: I'm a fan of memories myself, personally. I like knowing what I did.
OC: It is funny when you go and get really drunk and you can't remember anything and you're like trying to figure it out.
JDB: And you get to play detective.
TM: And you get to piece it all together.
JDB: It's like "L.A. Noir." There's a clump of hay, some vomit, some underwear.
TM: It's sort of like "The Hangover."
JDB: Yeah. It's "The Hangover." "The Hangover" is a mystery movie. This is not a mystery movie. This is like "Twister." We're Helen Hunt chasing the party.
How successful would it be if, like in the movie, you put up a sign that said "Naked Girls Only"?
JDB: Well, I tried it at my grandma's senior retreat.
OC: It was super successful.
JDB: It was great. There were so many nude 90-year-old women walking around.
On their worst punishment growing up:
JDB: "The worst thing that ever happened to me is they would take away my laptop and they'd be like, 'You can't use the computer for a week,' and I'd just pound my head against the wall, like 'Mom, give me back the computer!'"
On Chicago:
OC: "Chicago's a party town. Chicago, really, every time I come here it really is like a college. The whole city feels like a college. It's very young and hip and I love this city."
TM: "This is my first time here, but it's cool so far and the people seem fun."
JDB: "This is my first time here but I'll be back in a few months for sure. No doubt."

Dembele questions Tottenham desire
Mousa Dembele admitted that Tottenham struggled to motivate themselves for their FA Cup tie at Leeds.
Andre Villas-Boas' team, who had earned plaudits for their performance with drawing with Manchester United eight days earlier, crashed out of the competition with a 2-1 defeat to mid-table Championship side.
And the Belgium international, who was a substitute at Elland Road, felt his team-mates failed to rouse themselves for what he deemed a no-win game.
"I think that is the most difficult thing in football to try and think like every day you are playing against Manchester United," he said. "To motivate yourself to play good against Manchester United is very easy, you don't have to do anything.
"But against teams like this it is more difficult because you have something to lose and they have everything to win. That is the most difficult thing in football."
Dembele came off the bench in Spurs' second-half comeback but felt Tottenham's difficulties in the first half were attributable to facing lower-league opposition
He added: "I think you have to give extra energy to motivate yourself and so maybe that was a bit of a problem."
The former Fulham player said defeat to Leeds has only increased Tottenham's determination to win the Europa League so they do not end the season without silverware.
"I think we feel we have a lot of quality in our group and we feel we can win something. So it's disappointing that this cup is over already for us. We another trophy to go for so we will try and get it now," Dembele explained.
Tottenham travel to Norwich on Wednesday night with Dembele likely to partner Scott Parker in the heart of midfield after Sandro was ruled out for the remainder of the season.
Parker missed the first half of the season with an Achilles injury so Dembele is just getting used to playing with the England international.
He said: "I think Sandro did terrific, but I think as well that Scott is a different kind of player. He can be very important for us. I've played a few games with him now and I like his style."

When "Footloose" originally came out in 1984, it was a dance movie with a flimsy plot about a town that bans public dancing and the young rebels that see a cause to resist. But its catchy soundtrack rode a nascent MTV tidal wave and spawned six Top 40 songs, turning the film into a huge sleeper hit and its lead Kevin Bacon into a star.
Rebooting the original, especially in this era of dance reality TV shows, is not a bad idea, and this slicked-up, more-hot-stepping version that casts two experienced dancers (Kenny Wormald and Julianne Hough) certainly amps up the volume with both of them doing some fancy footwork — everything from a little dirty dancing to line dancing.
Director Craig Brewer ("Hustle and Flow"), who consulted the original screenwriter and song lyricist Dean Pitchford, pays considerable homage to its predecessor with a mirror storyline and copycat dialogue, updated to include more contemporary references. Brewer does add more dramatic punch to the opening. As in the original, a car crash kills some of the kids (including the preacher's son) after a night of partying precipitating the town's draconian laws. But this time Brewer chooses to show it. He also wisely changed the setting from a white-bread town to a more updated, integrated small community.
The new soundtrack also reflects a more southern country-rock essence with the Kenny Loggins feature track now sung by Blake Shelton and remakes of favorites like "Let's Hear it For the Boy" and "Almost Paradise." There are also new tracks by the likes of Zac Brown, Big & Rich, Gretchen Wilson and Kenny Wayne Shepherd paired with Cee Lo Green.
This is definitely not just another remake spit out by a studio looking for a quick box-office buck. It's actually pretty good as lightweight entertainment goes, especially if you haven't seen the original.
In comparison, the '80s version might look a little cheesy now, but it still has an authenticity this shiny new one lacks, mainly due to the original's excellent casting, which also included Sarah Jessica Parker and Chris Penn in supporting roles. John Lithgow nailed the performance of the stoic preacher in the first one, while Dennis Quaid just looks uncomfortable in this one.
Julianne Hough, fresh from "Dancing With the Stars," is perky and feisty as Ariel, the rebellious preacher's daughter, but still lacks the brooding danger Lori Singer infused in the original. Kenny Wormald, with his James Dean quiff and skinny ties, plays an appealing Ren McCormack, the new kid in town who won't play by the rules. Kevin Bacon may not have screamed instant heartthrob when he originated the role, but as his later work proved, he is an actor with real chops, which added dimension to an otherwise cliche character.
Sure, he had to have five dancing and gymnastic body doubles to pull of the iconic "angry dance," while Wormald (this time dancing to the hard-rocking twang of the White Stripes' "Catch Hell Blues" ) pulls it off with ease. But I guess it's a case of whether you prefer better dancing or better acting.
My advice: Go and see this one first and enjoy it for what it is, then maybe pay a nostalgic revisit to the original.

I have never had a run (single node HPL) run as slow as it does when Turbo is turned off. However, with all the variation per node, there isn't much of a win for large jobs as they will generally slow down to the slowest node.

Odd. Could be a couple of things going on. 1. By pure bad luck dropping size 4 -> 3 (for instance) may be the point at which your network saturates. That is, the slightly smaller packets may be generated slightly faster so that you hit a bottleneck (max packets per second inbound would be my guess, I've hit that limit before) and so you see a nonlinear response. You can test this by dropping the 5000 to 100 or so, so no matter how fast they go, they don't max anything out. 2. Could be a bug in the mpi implementation you are using. I've never written anything for MPI in C++, is the return status being handled somewhere? I don't see it in this code fragment but C++ is notorious for putting side effects in another section of code, far far away. If at all possible the status values should be checked. Sooner or later one of these functions is going to come back with a bad status and your program should handle that.

child this age usually shows increasing interest in the world outside
the family and home. Discuss how anything you put in your body that
is not food, water or juice can be extremely harmful, and how drugs
interfere with the way our bodies work and can make a person very
sick or even cause them to die. (Most children of this age have
had real-life experiences with the death of a relative or a friend's
relative.) Explain the idea of addictionthat drug use can
become a very bad habit that is hard to stop. Praise your children
for taking good care of their bodies and avoiding things that might
harm them.
the time your children are in third grade, they should understand
poisons, medicines and illegal drugs differ;
prescribed by a doctor and administered by a responsible adult may
help during illness but can be harmful if misused, and therefore
children need to stay away from any unknown substance or container;
may drink in moderation but children may not, even in small amounts
because it's harmful to children's developing brains and bodies.
leaving elementary school, your children should know:
immediate effects of alcohol, tobacco and drug use on different
parts of the body, including coma and death;
long-term consequences of drug use, including addiction and loss
of control of one's life;
reasons why drugs are especially dangerous for growing bodies; and
problems that alcohol and other illegal drugs cause not only to
the user, but to the user's family and the world.
elementary school children frequently ask about drugs:
would people want to put bad things in their bodies?
One answer might be that they might not realize how dangerous the
bad things are; another is that they are not taking care of themselves.
Sometimes people start using a drug just to see what it feels like,
but it can turn into an addiction (like cigarettes) and it's very
hard to stop using it.
can't I taste that "grown-up" drink?
A small amount of alcohol has a much greater negative effect on
a child's body than on an adult's; even a small amount can sicken
a child.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
With the US presidential election just a little more than one month away, and with Israel becoming a bigger election issue than ever before, Israelis themselves have an increasingly unfavorable view of President Barack Obama.
A poll commissioned by The Jerusalem Post revealed that a 28 percent plurality of Israelis today view the Obama Administration as siding with the Palestinians and wider Arab world in their conflict with Israel.
Only 18 percent see the current White House as siding with Israel, while 40 percent were unsure. Traditionally, the vast majority of Israelis have viewed the US government as siding with the Jewish state against its antagonists.
The Post has been conducted the same exact poll since Obama officially took office in 2009. In the first poll, before Obama really sunk his teeth into the Israeli-Arab situation, 31 percent of Israelis believed that Obama, like his predecessors, would be pro-Israel, despite the fact that most Israelis also believed him to be a Muslim.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has only thinly veiled the fact that he would prefer challenger Mitt Romney to win the American election, and at the weekend Netanyahu took another shot at the incumbent Obama.
Speaking to the blog of the popular journal Foreign Policy, Netanyahu's special envoy to the US and Europe, Zalman Shoval, blasted Obama for his weak approach toward Iran's nuclear program.
"The Obama administration's 'red line' is wavering and the Iranians are reaching dangerous conclusions from that," said Shoval, who is a former Israeli ambassador to the US.
Romney has repeatedly accused Obama of "throwing Israel under the bus" when it comes to the Iran threat. It would seem Netanyahu agrees, and would like the American voters to take that into account next month.

News editor
Connie Isaac of Hillsboro drove a Ford Festiva for about 20 years and enjoyed having a compact car that could fit in tight spaces.
"The Festiva was small, and I just enjoyed it," she said.
She also appreciated its good fuel efficiency, and when she decided it was time to replace her Festiva, she wanted to stay with something compact. In 2007, she and her husband, Don, took a closer look at a Smart Fortwo — a tiny two-seater — and she considered the prospect of buying one for two years.
"I like the look of it," she said. "I like the design."
Isaac bought a black and white Fortwo in 2009, and she has been happy with the results. The microcar is able to fit into parking spaces that even a normal compact car couldn't squeeze into.
It is 8 feet, 10 inches long and 5 feet, 1 inch wide. It isn't an exaggeration to say you could fit two in the same space as a single sport utility vehicle. A Chevrolet Suburban from the same year is long enough to fit two Fortwos in, with 8 inches between them.
Fuel efficiency is the most common question people ask Isaac about her car.
"People ask me that all the time, and I do not know," she said.
The EPA estimates it gets 33 mpg in town and 41 on the highway, although Isaac never takes it out of town — when going out of town, the Isaacs take Don's Ford Fusion. She drives it around town about twice per day.
"I would say I fill it up three times a year," she said.
Isaac said other questions she gets about her car are whether it uses gasoline, diesel, or is electric — gasoline — and what kind of engine it has — three cylinders. On two occasions, a high school student has asked to borrow it for prom. Isaac was happy to say yes both times, because she knew the teen would wash it and clean the inside to impress a date.
She said she doesn't mind having a unique car, but it isn't the reason she bought it, and for all its benefits, there are some drawbacks. Its short wheelbase — 6 feet, 1½ inches — mean city streets feel bumpier than they are. Because she bought the basic model to save money it doesn't have power window.
Her biggest concern is about maintenance. It hasn't given her any problems so far that required major repairs, but when it eventually happens, she is afraid she'll have to take it to a dealership in Kansas City or Tulsa.

The Brothers Grimm story "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" has a long history of being performed in plays and movies.
We've all heard the catch phrase: "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?"
The line from the classic fairy tale is uttered by the Evil Queen and stepmother who is jealous of the younger Snow White's beauty.
The new film "Mirror, Mirror"is the latest production of the famous yarn. It features a goofy charm with some witty political and cultural satire thrown in for good measure. Julia Roberts plays the nasty Queen with sarcastic relish. Nathan Lane is her fawning henchman who reluctantly implements her orders.
Beautiful Lily Collins is Princess Show White, whose rightful place on the throne has been usurped by the evil Queen. Armie Hammer plays the handsome prince hoping to rescue the princess. But the legendary seven dwarfs often steal the show with their swashbuckling exploits and good humor.
First-rate special effects and production values give a rich look to the enchanting scenes. There are plenty of familiar elements at work here. It may not be great cinema, but there's enough originality and snappy dialogue to make it an amusing diversion for many viewers.
'Bike' gets the heart racing
In this excellent little story from Belgium,"The Kid with a Bike"is Cyril, an 11-year-old foster child trying to find his father.
With unwavering tenacity and manic energy, he refuses to believe his papa could have actually abandoned him and sold his bike; he must see it for himself. And even then, he refuses to accept the truth.
Cyril is reunited with his beloved bike through a random kindness by a stranger, Samantha (Cecile de France). Cyril boldly asks if he can stay at her place on weekends, and she surprisingly agrees.
Thomas Doret gives an intensely convincing performance as this willful boy and is present in virtually every scene. You worry for him, are annoyed by him, and your heart breaks for him in his search for love and acceptance.
While Cyril's every thought and emotion is plainly visible, it is Samantha who is a mystery. We are never told why she went to the trouble of finding the boy's bike, why she took him in as a foster parent, or why she chose to keep Cyril in her life even over her boyfriend.
It's yet another facet in this quietly compelling film that makes it so rewarding.

Experiences with either would be appreciated. This would be fine if it produces real standalone programs that are portable and can be run anywhere. If the compiler just creates a binary module that can only run on a node with a license, it is less desireable although it still might be advantageous if they run faster that way.

EPA sued over livestock data collection
Environmental and animal welfare groups are suing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, alleging the federal agency unlawfully scrapped a rule that would have authorized the EPA to collect information from large-scale livestock confinement farms.
The EPA dropped the rule in July 2012, saying it would get farm locations, waste management practices and number of animals on the properties from state and federal agencies.
The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in Washington and claims that the EPA lacks the rational basis required by law to withdraw the rule. It also says the information is critical to enforcing the federal Clean Water Act.
The EPA didn't respond to messages.
The plaintiffs are The Center for Food Safety, Environmental Integrity Project, Food & Water Watch, The Humane Society and Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement.

Sci-fi action films don't get much more basic than Monsters vs. Robots. The genre was first seen in those cheesy Japanese B-movies that began with the Godzilla series in 1954. But make no mistake, "Pacific Rim" delivers a first-class special-effects extravaganza of this classic plot theme.
Giant creatures called Kaiju emerge from a fissure in the deep ocean to terrorize the coastal cities of the Pacific Ocean. The governments of the world combine forces to create giant robots to combat the monster menace. The robots are so large, it takes two pilots whose minds are connected by psychic power to control the great machines.
Guillermo del Toro directed and wrote the Oscar-winning 2006 fantasy masterpiece "Pan's Labyrinth." He also gave us the "Hellboy" movies that honed his action skills. In "Pacific Rim," he combines his abilities to deliver the chaos of high-tech combat along with subtle touches that create empathy.
To be sure, the plot is ridiculous. The mega-destruction of major cities goes on too long and too loud. But del Toro intersperses the fighting frenzy with enough quiet time to engage the audience and support the internal logic of the story.
'Way Back' worth the trip
"The Way Way Back" is a rare gem that has it all — great writing, sensitive direction and a sparkling ensemble cast. This is a movie to be enjoyed time and again, as evidenced by the applause at the end.
We see right away what 14-year-old Duncan is up against with Trent, his mom's new boyfriend (Steve Carell). With mom sleeping soundly in the car, Trent taunts the painfully shy kid by telling him he's on a scale of 1 to 10, he's only a 3. The hurt and anger in Duncan's eyes says it all.
Things get more awkward from there as they spend a "family vacation" at Trent's beach house. Trent's teenage daughter is a narcissistic brat, and the boozy neighbor (a hilarious Allison Janney) has a big mouth with no filter.
Duncan stumbles upon the Water Wizz water park and finds escape and a way back to his self-esteem thanks to Owen (amazing Sam Rockwell). For all his buffoonery, Owen has a knack for making people feel good about themselves. He gives Duncan a job and makes him part of a happy band of misfits (including the movie's Oscar-winning writer-directors, Nat Faxon and Jim Rash), so opposite of what he gets at home.
Toni Collette is great as Pam, Duncan's mother, who has as much insecurity and need for affection as her son. Carell is excellent at playing a total jerk instead of his usual nice guy.
Liam James' Duncan rings true and makes "The Way Way Back" so much more than just another teen movie. They're both smart, sensitive, goofy and just plain wonderful.

American Licorice Company has issued a recall of one pound bags of Red Vines Black Licorice Twists with a best before date of February 4, 2013 due to testing positive for high levels of lead.
The California Department of Public Health found that samples of the black licorice candy contained .33 parts per million of lead. A concentration that high could provide up to 13.2 micrograms of lead per serving, which is more than double the daily limit for children younger than 6. No one has reported being sick in connection with the candy, a health department spokesman said. Officials are still investigating the source of the contamination.
Plus: Stay on Top of Safety News With Our Recall Finder
Lead can be dangerous to young children and pregnant women. It can also be toxic to developing organs and may impair neurological development. Long-term lead poisoning has been linked to learning disabilities in children.
Pregnant women and children who have eaten the candy should have a doctor determine if medical testing for lead is necessary. Consumers who have purchased the candy have been advised by American Licorice to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. If you see the candy for sale, call the CDPH complaint hotline at 1-800-495-3232.

Leigh Anne Tuohy: AARP, Creating a Caring Community
Posted on 06/7/2011 by Jen Martin
This is a guest post from Leigh Anne Tuohy. Tuohy is an interior designer and philanthropist. Dubbed a "warrior princess" by best-selling author Michael Lewis, Tuohy and her family's lives were chronicled in the blockbuster book and award-winning movie The Blind Side.
This past week, my son SJ proclaimed he needed someone to shag baseballs for him. I'm not sure what that means, but his father Sean, happily agreed to go along on this outing. That evening Sean expressed that he hadn't lost his old form (he was drafted by some baseball team), and he exclaimed with great pride it felt good to get out there and toss the ball around with SJ.
However, the next morning, the story was a little different. After taking several Tylenol and stretching a bit, Sean couldn't decide which body part was in the most "pain." Thank goodness, I thought, that SJ doesn't throw the discus and shot put as Michael did in high school or Sean wouldn't have been able to walk!
But the situation got me thinking about pain. Sometimes being in pain has nothing at all to do with a disease or as in Sean's case, soreness. Rather many pains come in the form of emotional pain from the decisions we make or the relationships we are in or the things that we wish we had done or didn't do. Learning to balance many of these complex issues is what makes us the individuals we are.
We are all in this together and so many times it becomes so much more bearable when we have someone who will just hold our hand and tell us it's going to be ok. It doesn't matter if you are old or young, your race, what your socioeconomic status is, or what your traditions or faiths are, we all have instances in this life that pain us and many times we need a caring community to be there for us and hold our hand.
And AARP is here to help. "AARP helps members and their communities help themselves. Caring and compassion are the bottom line of AARP. Their goal is to give people a voice, a sense of community, and a purpose through Create the Good and the AARP Foundation."
So often we just think AARP is for insurance or the retired, but it has many fingers and can extend that helping hand, and you too can make a difference. Don't assume because a person gets that clean bill of health at the doctor that they don't have issues in their lives. Ask questions, TURN AROUND, seize the opportunity to encourage, support and be part of that caring community that enriches everyone's lives with happiness and love on a daily bases.
You be the difference maker!
Don't forget to follow Leigh Anne Tuohy on Twitter @LeighAnneTuohy and play #TuohyTrivia on Tuesdays for a chance to win a $25 donation to the charity of your choice for answering the question correctly.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
One of the five million intelligence emails published by whistleblower website WikiLeaks on Monday suggested that Israel has already eliminated, at least temporarily, Iran's ability to produce a nuclear weapon.
The emails were sent and received by analysts and agents working for the Texas-based private intelligence organization Statfor. In one email, an analyst cites a "confirmed Israeli intelligence agent" as saying:
"The Israelis already destroyed all the Iranian nuclear infrastructure on the ground weeks ago."
Addressing the fact that tensions between Iran and Israel are mounting amid reports that the Jewish state is preparing to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities, the agent is quoted as saying:
"I think this is a diversion. The current 'let's bomb Iran' campaign was ordered by the [European] leaders to divert the public attention from their at home financial problems."
Stratfor is widely regarded as a reliable intelligence source, and has contracts with many Fortune 500 corporations. Stratfor also works with the US government, and is believed to have an extensive intelligence network spanning the globe.

Thoughts on a Roundtable: How to Get Heterosexual Black Men Involved in HIV Prevention, Part 1
By Kellee Terrell
April 25, 2012
I've always been bothered by the fact that heterosexual black men have been kept out of conversations about HIV prevention in the African-American community. A lot can be blamed for this blatant omission, but it's important to point to homophobia and an unhealthy obsession with the down low as major reasons why we haven't included straight black men in the mix.
And when you really think about it, not including them doesn't make any sense, especially since study after study has shown that blaming bisexual men for the disproportionate rates of HIV among the black community is inaccurate and ineffective, not to mention plain wrong.
And while educating women is crucial in terms of prevention and care, if 75 to 80 percent of HIV infections among black women are occurring through heterosexual sex and women are not the ones who control condom use, the fellas have got to be addressed and reminded that this epidemic is their problem as well.
That is why this roundtable exists. I wanted to speak with African-American HIV/AIDS advocates who can speak in-depth about the difficulties reaching heterosexual black men, why these barriers exist, and what is being done to fill these gaps. With the help of Ingrid Floyd, the executive director of Iris House in New York City, and Larry Bryant, the national field organizer for Housing Works in Washington, D.C., we had an amazing conversation that can relate to communities of color trying to reach heterosexual men.
Here are some important talking points from Part 1 of the roundtable conversation:

Sleep Essentials
We appreciate the benefits of a good night?s sleep. At Absolute Beds we are dedicated not only to bringing you a better night?s sleep but great personal service and a quality bed that will meet your needs.
If your bed is no longer giving you proper support and comfort the chances are it is affecting the quality of your sleep. Beds don?t last forever. Generally the life span of a bed is 5 ? 10 years; if your bed is more than 10 years old, it may not be functioning at its optimal level. The durability of a bed is affected by a number of factors such as the quality of the mattress and base, the way you care for it, the amount of use it gets and the weight of its occupants. Did you know that the average person spends around a third of his or her life in bed? That?s why purchasing a new bed is an important decision.
If you wake up with aches and pains, are not sleeping as well as you used to or your mattress is showing signs of wear and tear it may be time to invest in a new bed or mattress. There is a huge range of beds and mattress on the market. Here at Absolute Beds we endeavour to bring technology, quality and style together for a better night?s sleep. We have thousands of mattresses, beds and pillows in stock and our well-appointed bedding consultants will answer your questions and offer advice to ensure your purchase will meet your needs.
Mattress Matters and Perfect Posture
Investing in a good mattress will help you get a better night?s sleep and leave you feeling refreshed and ready to face the world. It?s worth paying a little bit extra now, for years of extra comfort. Most mattresses contain a variety of fillings and a foam or sprung interior (with either open coil springs or the more luxurious pocket springs). Generally speaking, the fillings give the comfort and the springs give the support. Please see our section on mattress types for more information on mattresses and fillings. A comfortable mattress, however, is one that offers the right amount of support for you. You (and your partner) will need to make your own assessment guided by the advice of Absolute Beds specialist consultants and factors such as your size, weight, preferred sleeping position and needs.
When deciding on a new mattress, your aim should be to achieve perfect posture in bed. If the mattress is too soft, your body will just slouch and this can cause back pain because your spine is out of alignment. If the mattress is too firm, you can get discomfort at pressure points such as your hips and shoulders. Ideally the mattress should mould to your own personal shape while providing the perfect support. It should keep the spine aligned and follow the contours of your body. In the end comfort is extremely subjective, so take the time to find a mattress that suits your needs and gives you the support you are after.

It's the New Year, so it's time to start committing to those New Year's resolutions. While many of us may be trying to stay healthier with the help of, say, RunKeeper and FitBit, a few more might want to try their hand at creating the first great app of 2013. But before you give up by mid-February, a new website called Launch This Year promises to keep you on the right track to greatness.
Launch This Year is the newest initiative by Ooomf, a young startup focused on app discovery and development. Opening tomorrow at noon EST, the site gives members a personalized step-by-step guide for getting their dream iOS app off the ground.
With more than 700,000 apps in the App Store and 35 billion downloads to date, the iron is more than hot for the striking.
"We started to notice a lot of people who've maybe never made an app before," said Launch This Year founder Mikael Cho. "So we said hey, let's help enable this next generation of creators who want to do something on mobile, and let's start it right on January 1. So if somebody's making a resolution to make a mobile app this year, we can help them achieve that."
The site breaks down the process into goals and milestones, offering tools along the way to make sticking with the development process easier. Steps like creating the app's landing page, devising its organization structure, and even submitting it to the App Store are all outlined in a way that's accessible and less of a daunting headache, while the Launch This Year team develops a close relationship with their clients by coaching them through the work of getting the app ready and worthy of a few million downloads.
Launch This Year has the backing of reputable entrepreneur networks as Startup Weekend, Tech Stars, and the Application Developers Alliance, which have supported the initiative from the start. With the hope of expanding to other platforms, the site could very well do for mobile creators what Codecademies like Code Year have done for the programming at large.
Currently in private beta, users will need an invite code to access the toolset the site offers. Just type in "digitaltrends" at the Launch This Year site and get started on that app.

I've harped on this in other posts, but I don't believe I've devoted a whole post to it.
In a nutshell: Only set goals you can control.
As writers, a lot of things are beyond our control. Getting an agent, selling a book or story, landing on a bestseller list, winning awards--these all rely on varying degrees of luck, right place/right time, and the support and efforts of many other people.
Because of this, writers tend to be let down a lot. When you get a rejection, lose an award, or don't sell as many books as you'd like, it's natural to get depressed.
But you shouldn't get angry, or sad, or offended. Because it makes no sense to get upset over things you don't have control over.
There's a direct correlation between dreams and disappointments. Hope is a four letter word.
Writing is all about putting yourself out there. Chefs cook food to be consumed. We string together words to be read. Having readers is half the equation.
But we really don't have much control over who reads us.
We can search for an agent, search for a publisher, search for readers. But we can't make any of them like our writing.
Because of this, we get rejections, and bad reviews, and unimpressive sales, and the resultant disappointment. This makes it hard to keep on keeping on, when the acceptance we desire is 100% out of our control.
So the secret to happiness in the writing biz is about controlling what you can.
The first thing you have control over is your work. What you write about, and how much time and effort you spend writing it, is all up to you. This is a goal you can reach.
While you can't make an agent or publisher accept your work, you can seek out agents and publishers with queries, at conferences, and through recommendations of other writers. These are all within your power, and attainable goals.
You don't have control over distribution or sales, but you can devote time to branding and seeking out fans. This won't land you on the bestseller list, but every book you help to sell is a goal you had control over.
On this first day of 2009, take a good look at your goals. Which are attainable on your own? And which require luck?
We all need luck. But your goals should be based on your hard work and efforts, not on gambling.
Concentrate on what you can do, and do it to the best of your ability. If luck smiles on you, great. If not, keep at it--unless your goal is to feel sorry for yourself. That's a self-fulfilling prophecy that writers tend to excel at.

Vancouver Holds Off Wild
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Roberto Luongo doesn't have an explanation why the Minnesota Wild can't score against him when he is home in Vancouver.
Luongo made 25 saves, and the host Canucks beat the Wild 2-1 on Tuesday night for their sixth straight win.
Luongo's home shutout streak against the Wild ended at 228 minutes, 26 seconds but he held on for the win. He still hasn't lost a game in regulation this season (4-0-2).
"Whether it's a coincidence or what, I'll take it," Luongo said of his success against Minnesota. "They're divisional games so they're important. We have a pretty good streak against them."
Luongo, who is splitting time in goal this season with Cory Schneider, lowered his goals-against average to 1.45, behind only Ottawa's Craig Anderson.
Kevin Bieksa and Jannik Hansen scored for Vancouver (8-2-2).
Devin Setoguchi had the only goal for the Wild (6-6-1), whose two-game winning streak was snapped. Minnesota hasn't won in Vancouver since Jan. 31, 2009 (0-9-2).
It was just the seventh goal the Wild have scored in six games.
"We got a find a way to score," forward Zach Parise said. "That's too many games of just getting one. We've got to generate offense, and it's not good enough right now."
Darcy Kuemper stopped 28 shots in a losing effort in his NHL debut. Kuemper was called up because Josh Harding was dealing with the effects of medication he takes for multiple sclerosis.
Kuemper had a 1.79 goals-against average and .938 save percentage with the Houston Aeros of the AHL.
"It was a hard-fought, gritty game with two teams battling for every inch on the ice," Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault said. "We had opportunities to make it 3-1. Their goaltender made some good saves and their players made some key defensive plays and took us right down to the wire."
Bieksa gave Vancouver a 1-0 lead at the tail end of a power play.
Zack Kassian rushed past a defender along the right boards and centered the puck to Bieksa, who beat Kuemper low with a one-timer at 11:33 of the first.
Luongo made his first big stop about 13 minutes into the game during a Minnesota power play. He kicked out his right pad to rob Charlie Coyle's one-timer from the slot.
Mason Raymond and Keith Ballard combined to set up Hansen's third of the season at 10:03 of the second. Raymond began the play by skating through three Minnesota defenders before feeding Ballard along the left boards. Ballard spotted Hansen at the right side of the net, and the Danish right wing beat Kuemper glove side, off the crossbar and in.
Raymond extended his point streak to four games. His line with Hansen and rookie Jordan Schroeder continued to have success.
Setoguchi got the Wild within 2-1 four minutes later on the power play with a highlight-reel finish. Mikael Granlund and Matt Cullen worked to dig the puck out of the corner, allowing Setoguchi to skate out front, dragged the puck to his forehand and put the puck past Luongo.
It was Setoguchi's second goal in three games after he failed to record any in the first nine games of the season.
That goal came on the third of the Wild's four shots in the period.
Vancouver came out of the second intermission looking to regain the two-goal cushion. Daniel Sedin had a partial breakaway but was turned aside by Kuemper's quick blocker save, keeping the Wild within one.
Minnesota was stymied on its best chance to tie the game just past the 5-minute mark. Parise found himself alone in front, and his quick shot was kicked out to Ryan Suter in the slot, but the defenseman sent a shot off the post. Suter has yet to score a goal for the Wild since signing a big free-agent deal in the offseason.
"We played the (third) period the way we needed to play it," Minnesota coach Mike Yeo said. "You can't just open it up, and all of a sudden next thing you know they get the next goal.
"We stuck with it, we got the chances we needed to get and we just didn't finish. We did everything except finish."
In the final minute, with Kuemper pulled for an extra attacker, Luongo made a big stop against Setoguchi and then blocked the rebound. He made 10 stops in the final period.
"He walked in from the bench, so it was tough to cover him but I was able to challenge him," Luongo said of his save on Setoguchi. "He wasn't able to get (the shot) up so I was able to get a pad on it."

Attention Capital District Crispy Cook Readers:
Price Chopper is hosting a Gluten Free Food Seminar on Wednesday, April 13 from 6-8 pm at their corporate headquarters, 461 Nott Street in Schenectady. The Seminar features samples from various food vendors and cooking demonstrations by Elizabeth Barbone and Amy Rota-Poulin. Nutritionist Ellie Wilson will also be on hand to answer questions. The cost to attend the seminar is $10.
I have raved about Elizabeth Barbone before on The Crispy Cook (we really dig her lemon bars and banana bread) and can highly recommend her Easy Gluten-Free Baking book to you. She really breaks down her recipes into easily understandable steps and doesn't get too wild with funky ingredients you can't find.
I haven't yet met Amy Rota-Poulin, who is a graduate of the prestigious Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island and has become an expert on gluten-free cooking since her husband was diagnosed with gluten intolerance. However, I have enjoyed reading her blog, Gluten Free with Amy, and will have to track down a copy of her new cookbook "Cooking Gluten Free with Amy".
To find out more about this event, contact Maureen Murphy, Manager of Consumer Trends, Nutrition and Lifestyles at 518-379-1617 or send her a $10 check to reserve your spot at 461 Nott Street, Box 204, Schenectady, NY 12308 by April 7.

I've been thinking about bureaucracy a bit more than usual the last few days, and hence this remark of Churchill's seems useful in our fiscally challenging times:
There is no surer method of economizing and saving money than in the reduction of the number of officials.
I bid a 50 percent cut in non-military government agencies. The only downside here is that most federal agencies would become more productive if you cut their staff, which would be bad.
Meanwhile, apropos my item in The Sunday Spindle about "No Labels" bipartisan hooey, herewith another useful gem from Sir Winston:
I have noticed that whenever a distinguished politician declares that a particular question is above Party, what he really means is that everybody, without distinction of Party, shall vote for him.

Training Our Cops For Combat
SWAT Digest
If you read the world news headlines it's easy to find articles about terrorist acts being committed in other countries and how the specific country's military responded. This is a common theme all around the world. Terrorist group commits act – country's selected military unit responds. Why is that? Because terrorists commit acts of violence that are, for all intents and purposes, acts of war.
The only reason we, in general, don't label them as such, is because they aren't acting on behalf of a government. While it's no secret that many governments sponsor and support various terrorist organizations, those terrorist organizations are not given the authority to act on behalf of a specific government. So, it's not "an act of war". Here in the United States, we have a special problem that calls for a special solution: we define terrorism as a crime.
That means that our law enforcement professionals, and not the military, will be tasked to respond to and deal with terrorist acts. What's the problem then? Our law enforcement professionals are not – as part of their academy or in-service training – prepared to act as combatants on a battlefield. They are trained as peace keepers; law enforcers; not soldiers in a war.
Here's the irony: According to LtCol R. Gangle (USMC ret) in 2002, approximately 85% of our military deployments in the past four decades had been peace keeping missions. So, to me, this naturally begs the question: If our soldiers and our law enforcement professionals are both fulfilling the primary mission of peace keeping, then why is their training so radically different?
The answer, at least partially, lies in the recognition of this fact: men (and women) can be trained to commit acts of violence and acts of defense. It is a fact that acts of defense can be violent in and of themselves. However, the primary difference between war and peace keeping is that war mandates offensive violent actions. It requires attack.
Peace keeping requires constant vigilence while keeping all violent energy contained until such time as it is required to defend against an attack. Further, in peace keeping, the mandate is always to release as little of that violent energy as is necessary to repel or overcome the attack. "Using that minimum force which is necessary to affect the arrest" is a term often heard in law enforcement training.
Now, just as a barbarian cannot act civilized, but a civilized man can act like a barbarian, it's unreasonable to expect that we can train peace keepers to train and operate within specific parameters and then expect them to shrug off all the limits they've learned when faced with acts of war. Our professional peace keepers in the United States – those police officers, deputies, federal agents, etc. – they have spent months and sometimes years training to perform their duties within the controls and restrictions of Constitutional Law, State, County and Local laws, and departmental guidelines.
They are regularly given reminders that all uses of force will be at least minimally investigated and that they (the LE professionals) will be held criminally and civilly liable if they use more force than is required.

What do we know about the link between financial inclusion and inclusive growth?
Adults around the world and in all income groups use a variety of financial services, ranging from digital payments and savings accounts to loans and insurance. Many low-income adults, however, rely largely on informal financial services — 2 billion adults worldwide, or 38 percent, reported not having an account at a formal institution in 2014, according to Global Findex data. The World Bank has launched the ambitious goal of Universal Financial Access by 2020. This goal is not an end in itself. Rather, financial inclusion is a means to an end.
Which bring us to the question: What do we know about the link between financial inclusion and inclusive growth benefiting all income groups?
