ROCKFORD - Laytwan Porter looked like former Auburn great Fred Van Vleet in the first half, with seven often spectacular assists, every one for a layup.
In the second half, all the Knights got in on the assist parade, led by Phil Trammell's five in the last two quarters. The Knights worked equally as cohesively on defense, forcing 27 turnovers. As a result, Auburn finally looked like the team coach Bryan Ott envisioned and destroyed Boylan 78-48 Friday to win its third outright NIC-10 title in four years.
"Coach has been telling us all week that we're a good team when we play together, not when we play 1-on-1 basketball," Trammell said. "We came out and played together as one unit."
Ott had been frustrated early this year when Auburn (24-5, 14-2 NIC-10) only had a half-dozen assists in a 13-point loss at Boylan.
But this time, the Knights played together from the start, taking their cue from Porter.
"Laytwan is not just a scorer; he's a playmaker," Trammell said. "We ride with him every game."
And this game Porter was more of a facilitator than a scorer, a main reason why five Knights were bunched between 10 and 15 points.
"I just wanted to get my team involved," Porter said. "This is my family and I wanted to lead them."
"And we found him, too," Antoine Porter said. "When he finds us, we give it back to him."
Auburn had as many steals as assists, flustering a Boylan team that had won 22 NIC-10 titles in 27 years before Auburn emerged as the new conference kingpin. Brock Stull (23 points, including all eight in a 39-8 Auburn run) was the only consistent weapon for Boylan (19-7, 13-3).
"We got embarrassed. It's gut-check time," said Boylan coach Mike Winters, whose Titans could meet Auburn in the Boylan Regional. "We've got a bunch of guys that need to play a lot better. It absolutely comes down to protecting the ball. And we can't have Brock play the 1, the 2 and the 3. Somebody else has to step up."
Auburn won in front of an overflow crowd in a game that had been sold out for 3 1/2 days. Former Oregon coach Ernie Kent, in town for the Rockford Public Schools' Hall of Fame banquet today, compared it to his old East-West matchups.
"Except we had a fight in the corner of the stands at one of our games and a guy in a black leather coat blocked one of my shots from the deep corner," Kent said.
If this was a fight, Auburn won by a third-quarter knockout.
The Knights led only 34-32 before going on a 22-0 run. Stull ended that run with a 35-footer at the third-quarter buzzer, but Auburn started again, outscoring Boylan 39-8 in one stretch. The Knights made all 15 of their shots inside the 3-point arc during that run, mostly because they moved the ball so well. And because they got so many steals with all the defenders working in unison.
"That's the key, both of those two things," coach Ott said. "We talked all week about the importance of playing together."
Pittman led Auburn with 15 points, while Nylek Cobb added 14, Porter and Malik Minor 12 each and Zavious Hoover 10. Cobb, ineligible until recently, gives the Knights one more athletic weapon.
"He brings a lot off the bench; scoring, rebounding, defensive intensity," Trammell said. "We needed him all season. I'm just glad we have him now when we're making this run."

Jimi Hendrix-Inspired Clothes to Arrive at Bloomingdale's Stores
A new line of clothing inspired by the songs of Jimi Hendrix will soon hit the shelves of New York-based upscale retailer Bloomingdale's. The collection has been fully licensed by Experience Hendrix, LLC, the company founded by Hendrix's father to make sure that his son's image is not exploited.
The apparel is being manufactured by Lyric Culture, who have struck licensing deals in the past with such acts as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan. The Hendrix line will feature proprietary designs with some of Hendrix's most famous lyrics on t-shirts, men's dress shirts, cufflinks, scarves and hoodies. According to Hanna Rochelle, Lyric Culture's founder, "Some pieces even include Jimi's actual handwritten lyrics incorporated into the fabric prints."
"We're delighted to partner with Lyric Culture to launch this line of Jimi Hendrix apparel and jewelry," said Janie Hendrix, Jimi's stepsister and CEO of Experience Hendrix. "Jimi's words, music and handwriting have been cherished by so many for so long and this underscores how resonant his art has been all this while and, certainly into the future."
Bloomingdale's stores all across the country will begin stocking the apparel this month, in conjunction with what would have been Hendrix's 70th birthday on Nov. 27. Hendrix's official recordings will also be on sale.
On Nov. 8, Bloomingdale's flagship store in New York will have a special launch, with Janie signing copies of 'Jimi Hendrix: The Ultimate Lyric Book,' and an appearance by former Band of Gypsys bassist Billy Cox.

Signal Lost2012. 12. 01. - Gargaj
It's been 10 years since we released our first real demo, and now it was time to step it up a notch: our recent work, Signal Lost, in cooperation with CrownGear, is now available! Feel free to head over to Pouët to leave a comment, or watch the live recording on YouTube if your PC isn't up to speed.
Ho-ho!2010. 07. 29. - Gargaj
So today is our 10th birthday.
Well, that was unexpected.2009. 08. 08. - Gargaj
The full story:
July 30 - Ferris / Youth Uprising asks me if I wanna do music for his 4k for Assembly. I agree, 'cuz why not.
August 4 - Having completely forgotten about it, I'm reminded. I whip up the tune in about an hour at most.
August 6 - 4k compo deadline at ASM.
August 7 - 4k compo showing.
August 8 - Prizegiving - we won Assembly.
Life's not fair I guess.
Syggelekokle!2008. 07. 28. - Gargaj
Ok, so we still suck at updating the site, and the admin interface doesn't seem to help - but we'll just blame it on Kelsey travelling to save the world in Indiscreetistan. We did a demo for SceneCON, got third, which is prolly the best we could do about it, and we joined up with our buddies in Outracks to whack up a 4k for Solskogen. Now it's time to sit back, relax, and realize we're late with Function organizing.
Dirt and rust at SceneCON, woo!2007. 06. 17. - kelsey
WE WON SCENECO... khm. Gotta behave. So, yes, we ranked first at SceneCON 2007 in the combined 64K compo, with our newest release titled Träsh. Grab it, it's fresh and hot, available at the prods section.
Nyeh.2007. 05. 18. - Gargaj
We seriously need to figure out a policy to update more often. Anyway. We were at Breakpoint, we brought a 4k and spectacularly dove WAAY under the bar we wanted to reach - but I guess it's still kinda nice. Anyway, next BP will be better. SceneCON 64k in progress, hopefully.
...yargh!2007. 01. 12. - Gargaj
Damnit. I knew the name was a bad idea. Damnit.
In other news, we released a demo called "Happens." at tUM, which surprisingly got 3rd place and we won a bunch of nice stuff. Somehow it feels the less one busts a nut, the more one scores. Strange.
And no, it's not autobiographical. Or well, some of it. Also, don't try it at home.
We seriously need an admin interface2006. 11. 19. - Gargaj
So yeah. Apparently updating isn't really one of our virtues. Heh.
Anyhow. You prolly already saw the Bassotron remix, so i'll skip that - we won. We also released a 64k at Kindergarden after ~20 hours of coding straight and lost to a 4k which had a pig made out of specular shaded spheres... oh well, that's life. (No hard feelings towards anyone, obviously - but admit it, it does sound rather strange.)
In a more positive note, we have a new member in the team - Maxie, a longtime friend of ours who has been helping us out with graphics for a while now. Slowly, but consistently, Ümlaüt Design starts to feel like a group now. What could we say? Watch us.
Let's get ready to crinkle!2006. 07. 09. - Gargaj
And as usual, we spend our summer working on prods for no apparent reason.
Without revealing much of the plans, I guess I can just say that we're not
changing on a concept that works.
See you at Demozone and Assembly.
Oh fuck, we died!2006. 04. 20. - Gargaj
Apparently the demoscene doesn't tolerate runner-ups and people who don't
win compos deserve horrible deaths, because they're unable to free their scene spirits
- at least according to the concepts of this year's Breakpoint. Oh well,
nice knowing you. (No hard feelings of course, but last year's prizegiving made much more sense.)
In less tragic news, we got 3rd place in the 4k compo with f6a, which I personally find remarkable considering that even though we really concentrated and worked on this intro, it wasn't much time invested. (Apart from the insane amount of time spent on the synth.) In the end of the day, especially considering that we were played last in the compo, I wouldn't have minded placing even better, but we're not complaining, that's for sure.
We also happened to make a co-op prod with our good friends Traction, a demo that ended up pretty much in the middle area (11th), due to basically lack of polish-time and all that. This hopefully wasn't the last joint effort we did with them however, so let's see what the future holds.
Woo-hoo!2006. 02. 10. - Gargaj
Much to our surprise, Structure and Structure 2: Sequence
was included on the recent Demo
or Die! DVD Vol. 4. Personally, I'm quite surprised and it caught me
quite unexpected since it's a great honor to be up there with other
demos like 195/95 or Xmix. I hope this sheds a bit more light on the group.
I also have some hopes considering the Scene.org Awards; it would be really nice to snatch at least a nomination for whatever category it may be. Of course, I might be overly optimistic here - but I feel this year might.
And as for Breakpoint: we'll see.
Owned.2005. 10. 11. - Gargaj
Phew. Function is oooohohooveer... And we won! We scored three in a row!
In cooperation with ZooM / Conspiracy, we managed to made our biggest hit
so far: Structure 2: Sequence! Let's see how well the reception
Some thoughts about the demo: Probably not your average factory flyby escalating into blobby DCS, but still... In my mind it stands somewhere on the edge of mainstream and alternative, and I'm quite proud of that. Everything is synced by hand once again, because I have a fetish for maintaining sync-control for every little motion in a demo so I ditched FFT for that and I feel I did rightfully so. Oh and did you notice that the time signature of the music is not 4/4?
The year's not over. BCN, unfortunately, was abandoned due to various financial conflicts (sorry Spanish guys, we REALLY REALLY wanted to go... but we've just been ordered a shit sandwich and we have to chew through that first...), so currently we're targeting on the end of the year: tUM. Do not take this as granted - we've yet to see. Let's say there's a chance.
More2005. 09. 07. - Gargaj
First off, I'd like to announce that we've been joined by Kelsey - the
first ever member of the team who actually volunteered, instead
of being nagged to death with joining. It seems the team is getting
into decent ratios now, let's hope we can actually do something
properly now.
In other news, I'd also like to note that we're "endorsing" the Function 2005 demoparty. You're more than welcome to visit, even if you're from abroad, it will be fun, don't worry.
At the moment we're working our various bodyparts off to be able to pull out a demo for the party (possibly a sequel to Structure), so root for us and give us free beer so we can actually do it.
Release Rush #1 over2005. 08. 10. - Gargaj
Phew. That was one tough month of partying. We managed to harvest three(!) Top 3
placings on 3 consecutive parties, and the year's far from over yet! Expect more
coolness on Function 2005!
I'm also very very happy to welcome TSW among our ranks, finally I feel like I'm working on stuff with SOMEONE who feels responsible and willing to invest effort on expense of resources. The recruitment still goes on though - keep an eye out.
Considering releases: Bassotron will have a video version for people without shaders; The Evoke Spacerace soundtrack will be released; 73 will be finalized with more content and more creeps, and possibly another intro inside the exe.
And of course, we're just getting started...
But I need a sleep now. Good night.
Wahey! New site!2005. 06. 12. - Gargaj
Hey, look, we got a new site and allegedly it looks better than the old one! OMG!
I guess everytime changes happen we update the site look every now and then... But the trick is never to tell anyone. So we didn't. We let you find out on your own, and in case you do, feel free to notify us.
Many things have changed and will change. I grew tired of doing stuff on my own all the time, so I've been out recruiting - and this time, not the "Will someone do graphics for me?!?!?!"-way. I decided that since if two people working together aren't friends, the project won't work anyway, I'll try to look around a few friends who might want to participate in such projects. It worked. I won't reveal many details. You'll see.
I also decided to be more strict on the old members. Before misunderstandings ensue: Noone was kicked or removed from the group. But if the old members still want to be listed on the members roster, they should at least drop me an e-mail. It's not hard really, and if they care about the group they check the site frequently enough, so there shouldn't be a problem.
We're still looking for new members; if you feel like joining a group of idiots creating stuff which is considered weird even inside the demoscene, and you feel highly productive as well, just go ahead and drop us a mail.
Oh, and keep a lookout for DemoZone.

Whether starters or backups, veterans or rookies, none of the Ravens had much problem disposing of the Washington Redskins last night in the first preseason action of 2009. There was plenty of good that comes from a double-digit shutout win, of course, but there was also some bad sprinkled in. Here's what I noticed:
Michael Oher = BEAST
Wow, what a game this kid had. We knew he was going to be solid, but he came out and absolutely mauled people from the start. Any of you picking up Madden today, let me know what Oher's run-blocking rating is – because anything less than say, a 95, isn't giving the man-child his due. He straight up pancaked at least two Redskins.
Now, if only we could get the guy a helmet that fits.
Oher lost his dome-piece twice, the second time right before he bashed heads with the Skins defender, and was a bloody mess as a result. After going into the locker room to get three stitches to close the gash (and some saran wrap around his noggin to hold on the gauze), Oher was right back on the field.
Looks like another great pick by the Ravens' front office.
Quarterbacks Effective
Joe Flacco was a quiet 9/15 for 103 yards. Joe Cool didn't do anything spectacular, but he was efficient in going through his reads, avoided any sacks or turnovers, and led two 60+ yard scoring drives. Unfortunately, both drives stalled in the red zone (Deja Vu alert). Perhaps Flacco's best throw of the night, a sideline pass to Marcus Smith, bounced off Smith's chest.
Troy Smith saw the most action last night, throwing 30 passes and completing 14 of them for 200 yards and a score. He was impressive in his ability to sidestep pressure and extend plays, but Smith still has a tendency (as I noted here) to lock on to his primary reciever. It didn't hurt hit against the Redskins' 2nd-teamers, but against a starting NFL defense, methinks it would be a different story.
John Beck wasn't bad either, going 5/9 for 105 yards. He may give Troy some competition for the backup job, yet. He looks too good to be a #3 QB in the NFL, though.
All 3 quarterbacks benefited from…
Ray Rice caught a short check-down from Flacco in the 1st quarter and turned it into a 34-yard gain. Near the end of the game, Jayson Foster grabbed a quick out from Beck, dodged a defender, and raced 64 yards before being pulled down just short of the goal line. Foster likely earned himself a closer look as camp continues.
This is an area where Ravens receivers have struggled year-after-year, and it was nice to see somebody step it up, even if it was just a RB and a likely-to-be-cut WR.
I mentioned that the kicking game would be interesting to keep an eye on. Steve Hauschka was 2/2, hitting from 21 and 37 yards, and put one of his kickoffs into the end zone, though not deep enough to garner a touchback. Gano hit from 39, but banged a 28-yard attempt off the right upright as time expired. He probably wishes Coach John Harbaugh had just let the clock run out.
Rex-Less Defense
As promised, new DC Greg Mattison ran most plays out of his base 3-4 defense, going light on the blitzing. He admitted after the game that he was not satisfied with the amount of pressure the Ravens were able to get on the QB while only rushing four, so it will be interesting to see if his tactics change at all moving forward. While Kelly Gregg, Justin Bannan, and Haloti Ngata are all extremely effective D-linemen, getting to the QB has never been any of their bread-and-butter. The return of T-Sizzle to the lineup will obviously help, but there were times watching the game when Ravens fans, more accustomed to an aggressive scheme, wanted to see more bodies flying towards the pocket.
Still, the Ravens racked up 3 sacks, an interception, and a fumble recovery, and ended the day +2 in the turnover department. We'll happily give Mr. Mattison's debut a favorable review.
Return Game
Did veteran return man Chris Carr have a few butterflies in his first appearance in purple? He called for a fair catch on a punt return when nobody was within about 12 yards of him (although, as pointed out by the RaveTV broadcast team, this could have been due to his noticing that the Ravens had already been flagged on the play), and dropped another punt before scooping it up and gaining positive yardage.
Jayson Foster had the best punt return of the night, a 21-yard gain.
Ledarius Webb, a guy we have big hopes for here at the Nest, had returns of 6 and 10 yards, an unspectacular start.
Yamon Figurs, widely considered the odd man out of the group, did nothing special on punt returns either. However, he did have two receptions, one of which went for 42 yards. He'll likely need a couple similar performances catching passes in the coming games to make the opening day roster.
Speaking of Receivers…
Ravens wideouts had an up-and-down night. Marcus Smith dropped a couple, including the aforementioned sideline throw from Flacco. He tried to redeem himself by making a tackle on special teams, but he injured himself in the process, and is rumored to be seriously hurt.
Justin Harper, the star of training camp so far, had 4 catches for 57 yards, including a 19-yard TD, but had at least 3 drops of catchable balls. Some consistency would be very nice to see.
Kelley Washington and Demetrius Williams, two guys who will likely see plenty of the field (barring injuries) in 2009, combined for 3 catches for 42 yards. We'll excuse Washington for doing the Chad Pennington "air stab," because he looked -300% as dorky doing it as Chad does.

Just wanted to type that one more time, because hey…kicking the crap out of the skins is always fun, even if it is just practice.

Roach Valley Raiders
Roach Valley Raiders
This time last year there wasn't a club and now there is Heywood BMX and MTB club (AKA Roach Valley Raiders).
Two key volunteers came forward and wanted to do something in the local community. As parents of children growing up in the local area wanted to make a difference.
At the same time a youth participation workshop was taking place with many young people to look at developing activities in the local area, with a local charity was known as Heywood Young Spirit. Surprise surprise what did the young people want... Cycling... and so the partnership began and what they get... the Roach Valley Raiders!
The club volunteers worked tirelessly for months, developing their club structure including a strong committee, relevant governance and fundraising plan. The volunteers as took on training NSCT, MTB trail-leader, BMX coach, first aid, all this to make the infrastructure right. To keep the young people interested sessions were held, bikes purchased, funds were raised to around £30,000 to develop a track. The club opened to members in November 2009 and to date has over 60.

Guest Post by supporter, Meredith Turnbull:
Poor Jackie is terribly sick with a rotten lurgy. After days of pressing on regardless last week, on Sunday she finally submitted to a day of rest at home and handed over the keys to the shop to Kit and me.
It's a funny thing to go from being a cheerleader to The Social Outfit on the sidelines, to then being the public interface with the community. Since Jackie introduced me to The Social Studio in the What Ken Be Done year, it, and The Social Outfit have become very precious to me as examples of doing social good. So on Sunday, I felt a big responsibility in representing The Social Outfit, and an even bigger challenge in filling Jackie's colourful Fluevog shoes!
So what does a day in the pop-up shop look like? What I quickly learned is that a bit of eye contact, a big smile and an invitation to enter the space works wonders. Once inside, people are interested and inspired by the story of The Social Outfit. Also, by asking questions I discovered just how many people have an interest and compassion, or a direct connection to refugee issues.
Sundays are always busy in The Rocks. Some of the highlights of the working day was a lovely woman from Melbourne who had seen an article about The Social Studio in The Age (here). We talked about many things and unexpectedly at the end she said, "I would like to donate some money." Jasonne was so cool, she even offered to link us up with an intern program through her work…
Later in the morning a woman dropped in with her partner, and she later came back with her daughter too. She loved one of our t-shirts (unfortunately it wasn't in her size), but in the process of chatting I learnt that she had worked at the social enterprise OzHarvest, and had friends who volunteer with Asylum Seekers Centre.
In the afternoon three younger people were wandering past. One of them was quite taken by the gorgeous yellow dress that was in the window…
She and her friends came in and she tried it on and loved it! She then tried on a blue and orange dress and loved that too. Kit and I had made our first sale for the day, and it was a double!
Later in the afternoon a woman who used to work in a fabric wholesale business dropped in on her way to meet friends. After Kit told her about The Social Outfit's plans, she vowed to go away and chat to her networks in the fabric world.
Many other people dropped in and Kit and I did our best to describe our hopes for The Social Outfit and our sustainable business model too. Everyone was different and some people loved everything about our plans, others liked the use of excess and recycled fabric, others appreciated the importance of assisting people from refugee communities to find meaningful education and employment opportunities.
But my favourite moment of today was when I was reminded of an experience I had at The Social Studio in Melbourne. I was sitting in their cafe, The Cutting Table, eating an 'zlabia' (an African Donut) and having a coffee. On the street-side seating just outside my window there was a young student at The Social Studio having a tea, and next to her was a customer having a coffee. The customer was joined by a friend with a gorgeous puppy, and soon all three people were all talking and laughing and continued to do so for half an hour. During that time people of all types stopped and joined in and then kept on wandering. I don't know how you measure the value of that, but I do know that it is not something you see very often: people joyfully engaging across difference and being part of a community.
That is why I support Jackie and the team every step of the way, and why I believe The Social Studio and The Social Outfit are so precious and important. They are making the world more like the one I want to live in.
I just wish Jackie had told me I'd have to wear a Ken Done handbag in order to help!

CLINTON — Though 13-year-old Isaac A. Phillips has transferred out of Lunenburg schools after weeks of alleged bullying — allegedly by his teammates on the Blue Knights football team — high school football players from nearby Clinton and their Thanksgiving Day game opponents from Maynard will be wearing his old football number to show their support.
Sean M. Whitney, whose 15-year-old son, Brandon J. Whitney, plays varsity football for the Clinton Gaels, said he couldn't believe what he was hearing was going on in Lunenburg to the Phillips family.
Eighth-grader Isaac, son of a black father and a white mother, was the target of alleged bullying by Lunenburg football players while he attended school there. It culminated with racist graffiti spray-painted on his home more than a week ago. When the rest of the season's games were forfeited because of it, there was an outcry from some in the community, who also began blaming the Phillips family.
Then, on Friday, the Lunenburg athletic director apologized to football players and coaches at South High Community School in Worcester for racial slurs directed at them by Lunenburg football players at two games earlier this month.
"This really happened and really goes on," Mr. Whitney said Tuesday. "This is right next door. We were shocked. It is both ignorant and arrogant."
He said Hispanic and black Clinton teammates of his son, who is white, visit him at home, and he and his wife discuss "doing the right thing" with them.
His daughter, 14-year-old Lexus A. Whitney, is also a high school cheerleader.
"We talk about that with them," he said. "They're like a family, these kids. It is hard to accept that five miles next door this actually goes on. These kids are so close. It is kind of hard for us to understand it. We were trying to think of how we could show the Phillips family this is not acceptable and we support them."
Mr. Whitney said he contacted the athletic directors in Clinton and Maynard on Friday about having the football players wear Isaac's football number at the game Thursday to show their support.
"They thought it was a super idea and said let's do it," he said.
Mr. Whitney ordered 100 stickers at his own cost that came in Tuesday. He said there will be a short presentation before the game Thursday morning in Maynard to let people know why football players are wearing them.
"Both teams will be supporting Isaac by wearing 2-inch blue-and-white stickers with the number 30 on their helmets," he said. "Both communities want to show that he and his family do not stand alone and that we will always stand up to this type of behavior. We want their community to know other communities are thinking about the Phillipses and supporting them."
Cheerleaders will wear blue ribbons to support Isaac, he said.
Earlier Tuesday, Isaac's father said his son is happy now that he is attending middle school in Leominster.
"We've had 10 days-plus of chaos, and with Thanksgiving coming up we just want to move on," said Anthony J. Phillips.
"Isaac is happy in school and we are trying to get things back to normal. Isaac wants to move on from this and we want to let Isaac be happy."
Mr. Phillips said Isaac has attended school in Leominster for three days and intends to play football for Leominster next season.
Though only in eighth grade, Isaac — whose family has lived in Lunenburg for 15 years — played on the freshman and junior varsity football teams in Lunenburg.
Lunenburg Superintendent Loxi Jo Calmes announced last week that the rest of the football games for the season, notably the Thanksgiving eve game against St. Bernard's High School in Fitchburg, were forfeited. Ms. Calmes' decision to cancel the game was followed by an outcry by Lunenburg football players and their families to reinstate the game, but the School Committee upheld her decision.
Mr. Phillips said at the time some in the community were turning on his family and blaming them for Ms. Calmes' decision to cancel the games.
Investigations into the alleged bullying and the racist hate crime are ongoing, school officials said.

On the Immense Variety and Complexity of Circumstances Conditioning Pancreatic β-Cell Apoptosis in Type 1 Diabetes
In his masterpiece War and Peace (1869), Leo Tolstoy wrote: "The human intellect with no inkling of the immense variety and complexity of circumstances conditioning a phenomenon, any one of which may be separately conceived as the cause of it, snatches at the first and the most easily understood approximation, and says: 'Oh, here is the cause!'" The field of type 1 diabetes has been plagued by this trend for oversimplification. As a result, individual pathways are often suggested as "the cause" of this complex, multifactorial, and probably heterogeneous disease, thereby leading to therapeutic attempts that nearly always end in failure.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of endogenous single-stranded RNA molecules around 22 nucleotides in length (1). They are highly conserved among species and regulate the expression of partially complementary protein-coding genes by either degrading or preventing translation of target messenger RNAs. miRNAs are transcribed from individual genes, located in exons or introns of protein-coding genes or in intergenic regions, and are often clustered (2). Importantly, >50% of human genes may be at least in part regulated by miRNAs (3), adding an extra level of regulation for gene expression. An article by Roggli et al. (4) published in this issue of Diabetes describes a microarray analysis on islets obtained from 4- and 8-week-old female NOD mice (an animal model of autoimmune diabetes, in which 4-week-old animals have little or no immune infiltration whereas 8-week-old mice show insulitis in most islets; hyperglycemia usually starts after 14 weeks of age). They observed a preferential increase in miR-29a/b/c in the islets obtained from 8-week-old animals, a finding confirmed by other methods in islets from 13- to 14-week-old NOD mice and in isolated human and mouse islets exposed to the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interferon-γ, cytokines that probably contribute to β-cell apoptosis in type 1 diabetes (5). Quantitative PCR and in situ hybridization analysis, coupled with immunofluorescence for insulin, confirmed that increased miR-29 expression takes place in β-cells and not in the infiltrating immune cells. In subsequent and elegant mechanistic studies, they showed that overexpression of miR-29a/b/c in insulin-producing MIN6 cells and dissociated mouse islets contributes to impaired glucose-induced insulin release and apoptosis by respectively inhibiting expression of the transcription factor Onecut2 (which leads to a rise in granuphilin, an antagonist of insulin exocytosis [6,7]) and of the antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family member Mcl-1, which plays an important protective role against cytokine-induced β-cell apoptosis (8). These findings, together with previous observations from the same group (confirmed in the current study) showing that prolonged exposure of pancreatic β-cells to proinflammatory cytokines induces expression of three other miRNAs (miR-21, miR-34a, and miR-146, which also affect insulin release and apoptosis) (9), strongly suggest that preferential induction of key miRNAs during islet inflammation constitutes a novel level of regulation of β-cell dysfunction and apoptosis during the early stages of type 1 diabetes.
This publication, together with other recent articles suggesting that proinflammatory cytokines modify alternative splicing (AS) in human islets (10,11) and that >60% of the candidate genes for type 1 diabetes may actually act at the pancreatic islet level (11–13), support two conclusions: First, an important part of the action in type 1 diabetes takes place at the pancreatic β-cell level, changing the purely "immune system–centric" vision that has prevailed up to now in the field; and second, the "decision" of the pancreatic β-cell to undergo apoptosis, a central event in type 1 diabetes, depends on several layers of regulation. This regulation includes gene transcription, AS, expression of noncoding messenger RNAs (such as miRNAs and probably also large noncoding RNAs) and posttranslational modifications of proteins secondary to endoplasmic reticulum stress and other mechanisms. As described in Fig. 1, these "checks and balances" may impact β-cell death, expression of neoantigens, and attraction of immune cells.
Although the current and previous studies in the miRNA field (17,18) have yielded a new group of regulatory factors in the natural history of β-cell loss in diabetes, many questions remain to be answered. Do candidate genes for type 1 diabetes impact miRNA expression, as they seem to do for other β-cell gene regulators and effector mechanisms? Which are the transcription factors that regulate expression of the miR-29 family? Is there a cross-talk between key cytokine-modulated transcription factors and miRNAs in the regulation of effector mechanisms of β-cell dysfunction and death? Given that miRNAs also regulate cells from the immune system in type 1 diabetes (17,18), is there similarity or cross-talk between these miRNAs and the ones implicated in β-cell dysfunction/death? Because AS can regulate the effect of miRNAs by removing/adding potential binding sites for these molecules, is there a cross-talk between cytokine-induced AS and miRNAs in pancreatic β-cells? Since MiRNAs are surprisingly stable in circulation and have been suggested as biomarkers for cancer (19), can they be used as early biomarkers for β-cell dysfunction/death and/or activation of the immune system against these cells?
Thanks to recent advances in technology that allow reliable determination of all coding and noncoding transcripts in pancreatic β-cells and other cell types, as well as the development of novel bioinformatics tools that enable organization and interpretation of these "data mountains," we are for the first time able to face the immense variety and complexity of circumstances conditioning progressive β-cell loss in type 1 diabetes. Integration of these findings with ongoing work focused on understanding the loss of immune tolerance against β-cells in early type 1 diabetes (20) will hopefully point to novel and rational targets to prevent/revert the disease.

Odd observances: Mark your 2013 calendars with these fun and unusual holidays
Happy 2013. Many of you probably got a calendar for the holidays. In addition to those traditional dates, here are some holidays and other special days that kids might be interested in but that probably didn't make the cut as an "official" holiday on your calendar.
7: Old Rock Day. Perhaps today you could start (or add to) a rock collection.
20: Inauguration Day. President Barack Obama will be sworn in to a second term as president. Because the 20th falls on a Sunday, the public ceremony will take place on the 21st on the steps of the Capitol.
23: Measure Your Feet Day. Are both your feet the same size? Bet you never thought to find out!
10: Chinese New Year welcomes in the Year of the Snake.
13: Get a Different Name Day. So if you really hate that Mom and Dad named you Buford T. Rex III, today's the day to do something about it.
23: International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day. We suspect this is mostly celebrated by dogs.
6: Oreo cookies were sold for the first time in 1912. Have a Double Stuf to celebrate.
14: It's Pi Day. Not as in apple or cherry. As in the number: 3.14!
3: The first ice cream sundae was invented in New York 120 years ago today.
25: World Penguin Day. It's also Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. We just don't think we should take penguins to work.
30: National Honesty Day. If we're lying, we're dying!
12: Mother's Day. Yes, this appears on the calendar you received, but we wanted to remind you because it would be really, really bad to forget!
18: It's International Museum Day.
23: Margaret Wise Brown was born on this day in 1910. Not sure who that is? We're pretty sure you know one of her books, "Goodnight Moon."
6: National Yo-Yo Day.
16: Father's Day (see entry for Mother's Day!)
25: It's Leon Day. "Leon" is "Noel" spelled backward. It means that it's only six months till Christmas.
8: The Liberty Bell cracked while being rung on this day in 1835.
19: Stick Out Your Tongue Day. Just make sure you explain this to whomever you're sticking it out at!
20: Moon Day, marking the 44th anniversary of Neil Armstrong becoming the first person to land on the moon.
1: Respect for Parents Day. This really should be every day, but we know you know that.
11: Play in the Sand Day.
20: World Mosquito Day. We're not sure if this means you should love one or swat one!
5: National Cheese Pizza Day.
19: Talk Like a Pirate Day. Ahoy, matey!
23: Nintendo was founded on this date in 1889. Their first product wasn't the Wii; it was playing cards.
1: It's Homemade Cookies Day and World Vegetarian Day, so why not make (and eat) oatmeal raisin cookies in honor of both!
15: National Grouch Day. But that doesn't mean you have to be one!
28: The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on this day in 1886.
15: Pack Your Mom Lunch Day. Be sure to include something sweet!
17: It's Homemade Bread Day and Take a Hike Day, so pack some sandwiches and hit the trail.
25: Marc Brown was born on this day in 1946, and aardvarks named Arthur everywhere celebrate!
1: Eat a Red Apple Day. If you prefer yellow apples, we think that's OK.
13: National Cocoa Day. We feel warm and toasty just thinking about it.
31: New Year's Eve. We've made it through another year.

Educating Verity the OU way
'The skin of my C++ custard remained unruffled'
Battling the inner student
As one reads an OU text, one is supposed to make one's own notes. This is a very effective way to comprehend and absorb information.
But I just can't do it. I am haunted by an inner student with a siren voice, who:
- Is ok with education in theory, but
- forbids starting homework until the last possible moment, and
- absolutely will not countenance the making of notes from printed text. "What's the point of that? You know you will never read them back, even in revision. I mean, it's not like the textbook is going to go away, is it?" she says.
I suspect I am not the only one thus afflicted by this daemon of laziness. But there are ways around.
Write quizzes not notes.
Super Memo is an excellent memorising program that allows you to test yourself daily, playing back questions at special intervals calculated to allow the maximum amount of information be absorbed for the minimum effort. Questions that you flunk come around more often, until they are mastered.
Instead of taking notes, as I read each chapter I condensed it into the form of a quiz using these rules. Then I uploaded the questions to my old Palm Treo smartish phone, ready for use anywhere, anytime.
This technique was acceptable to the inner student, because she has to admit that by creating a quiz that runs on my phone, we were making something new and distinct, and not "wasting time" producing an inferior version of an existing resource. And although she hated the work involved, even she admitted it is worth it to avoid going into the exam underprepared.
Read this Wired article about the bloke who invented the SuperMemo algorithm. Decide whether or not you believe it. Me? Of course I believe it. Gullible's Travels, that's me.

I was really hoping to release Hobo 2.0.0 this week, but we did fix a couple of very minor bugs in the interim. It's remotely possible that one of the bug fixes may impact your applications, so I've decided to release a Hobo 2.0.0.pre9 first. I expect 2.0.0 to follow in a couple of days.
Please test 2.0.0.pre9 against your application. It would also be helpful if you could try your application with config.hobo.dont_emit_deprecated_routes set to both
true and
false. This should not have any impact on your application except for differences in named routes. If there are other differences, please bring them to our attention; it indicates a probable bug.
I have also updated some of the marketing material. Please check it out and help make it better by clicking on those edit links!
- the overlap between

I read in the book:
The Guide to Midi Orchestration 3rd Edition
That you can often get into you local orchestra dress rehearsals by calling up and asking to study what they are doing for education purposes.
This worked out awesome for us because our children are home schooled and we are teaching them orchestration. So Mom and Dad get to go along.
So I called up. Presented my situation and they are getting back to me soon as to if and when I could go but they did already send me all the dates I could go.
So I am pumped!
I will keep you posted.

A NASA engineer saw our image of the space shuttle Discovery's engines and thought it wasn't good enough. She sent us these exclusive pictures looking right inside the nozzle. Surprise: It looks exactly like a shower head. Zoom in!
I always thought it was going to be one single hole. Instead, it has several little holes set on a flat metal surface, like in a shower head.
Indeed, it looks like a shower head. It's actually the injector. The LH2 comes out, in gaseous form, through the smaller holes around the whole circumference and the LOX comes out, in liquid form, through the small center hole. The picture without the injector shows the igniter. This igniter is turned on for about 3 seconds when the SSMEs are fired right before lift off. After the 3 seconds it shuts off as once the fuel starts burning it becomes self-sufficient. The injector cap (shower head) was designed by Pratt and Whitney. The SSMEs were designed and built by Rocketdyne.

FORT VALLEY - Authorities say they're preparing to open a new facility in central Georgia to house animals in natural disasters and other emergencies.
The $750,000 center is being called the first of its kind to open in Georgia.
The Telegraph reports (http://bit.ly/OunQMc) that the 7,800-square-foot State Animal Facility for Emergencies at Fort Valley State University is funded by the Georgia Department of Agriculture and the state Board of Regents.
Its operation will be funded through the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
George McCommon, a Fort Valley State associate professor of veterinary science, said the facility is geared toward housing animals in emergencies such as disasters or animal abuse cases.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for Sept. 12.

Exit Poll: Alabama's best 'is better than anyone else's best'
Each week this season we'll tap into the minds of some of college football's best players from over the years in our weekly Exit Poll. This week, Sporting News asks: Alabama wins in all kinds of ways, what do you make of them as well as which top 5 team is most likely to get beaten this weekend.
1. Alabama finds another way to win -- by completely shutting down the Ole Miss offense. What do you make of the Crimson Tide?
Anthony McFarland: Alabama is the best team in the country because they are the best-coached team in America and their best is better than anyone else's best.
Jared Zabransky: Alabama's defense is improving week over week. The only time they've looked vulnerable was against A&M, but it's hard to defend the A&M offense. In that game you saw how explosive Alabama's offense can be. It's hard to pick a weakness for Bama. Their water boy needs to improve?
Jake Plummer: They are finding ways to win and are play like defending national champions. Ole Miss was a tough opponent and they shut them out. It seems like they are tuning up for the big games late in the season.
Butch Woolfolk: The Alabama success this season is a reflection of Saban's coaching prowess. He gets the best of his players. Underachievers don't make it in his system. While Bama does not have the talent they have enjoyed in the past, they benefit by having a commitment and focus to the basics of the game.
HAYES: Is the SEC falling back to the pack?
2. Which top 10 team faces the toughest test this week: Stanford (plays undefeated Washington) or Ohio State (plays at undefeated Northwestern)?
Plummer: Both teams have tests this weekend against two teams vying for respect nationally. The fact that Ohio State is on the road makes its game the tougher test. Northwestern is a scrappy, well-coached team and they want to take down the mighty Buckeyes with ESPN College GameDay on site.
Zabransky: I'm going back to the Stanford-Washington matchup. I believe that the Washington coaches have done a great job over the last several years improving that program and I believe they match up better with Stanford than the other matchup in question for an upset. I think the distractions with College GameDay in town will be too much for Northwestern to focus on the task at hand.
Woolfolk: Stanford has the better challenge. We will see if the Cardinal are real or not.
McFarland: Stanford plays against Washington, who has Keith Price at QB. Anytime you go against a team with a veteran QB, you better be leery of them.
MORE: Week 5 photos | Replacing Lane Kiffin | Bowl projections
3. Five weeks into the season and we've seen great play from the nation's elite quarterbacks. Rank your top five quarterbacks in order.
Zabransky: Johnny Manziel: best broken-play quarterback, possibly ever. 2. Teddy Bridgewater: highly efficient quarterback with great accuracy. 3. Jameis Winston: will be the first pick in the NFL draft when eligible. 4. Aaron Murray: extremely consistent since Day 1. 5. Marcus Mariota: impacts games greatly as dual threat.
McFarland: Teddy Bridgewater, Aaron Murray, Tajh Boyd, Brett Hundley, AJ McCarron. I think Bridgewater is the most pro-ready QB in college football with more athletic ability than most realize.
Plummer: 1. Johnny Manziel: a playground baller that keeps you wanting more, more, more. 2. Sean Mannion: 2,018 yards passing, 21 TDs, two interceptions, 67 percent completions, sacked twice with no run game. 3. Brett Hundley: solid all-around QB with legs when things break down in the pocket. 4. Tajh Boyd: has Sunday skills and knows how to get the ball to his weapons. 5. Chuckie Keaton: put this kid on USC and the Trojans are top 5.
Woolfolk: Tajh Boyd, Marcus Mariota, Johnny Manziel, Teddy Bridgewater, AJ McCarron. I don't pretend to know all about how QBR is calculated, but in my Quarterback Rating system at the college level, it must start with wins produced. Yes, passing efficiency, completion percentage, touchdowns thrown are all important, but at this stage everyone shines against lesser opponents. Tajh Boyd has played and shined against better competition. That is why I give him the nod.
PREVIOUS EXIT POLLS: Week 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
4. Is there an undefeated team that you consider a fraud?
Woolfolk: Michigan. It's my alma mater and it pains me to say it, but they have squeaked by teams they customarily have blown away in the past. They have not shown a running game nor a consistent passing game. Defense seems to struggle stopping the run and this is what Michigan hangs its hat on.
Plummer: I think Louisville is overrated. They don't get to play any tough competition in the American Athletic Conference. Hopefully they go undefeated and earn a chance to play a legit BCS team, than we can see if they are for real.
McFarland: Michigan is definitely a fraud. They don't have the talent to remain undefeated defensively going against elite competition and they should've been beaten already.
Zabransky: Texas Tech is the team on this list that I can't buy into right now. The only quality win they've had was a game played against a depleted TCU team in a down year. I believe they will continue to fool people for a few more weeks until they play Oklahoma where their defense will get exposed.
Our Exit Poll panelists:
Anthony "Booger" McFarland
McFarland was a first-team SEC and All-American noseguard in 1998 for the Tigers. The 15th overall pick out of LSU in 1999, McFarland won a Super Bowl with the Buccaneers and Colts. He hosts an afternoon sports talk show from 3-7 ET on 98.7 The Fan in Tampa and also is a host on Sirius XM NFL Radio. Follow him at @lsubooger.
Jake Plummer
Arizona State's third all-time leading passer with 8,626 yards and 65 TDs, Plummer was the Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year in 1996. He went on to a 10-year NFL career and reached the Pro Bowl in 2005 with Denver. You can find him working in studio for the Pac-12 Network when he's not offering one-on-one QB instruction to college and high school players or spending time with his wife and two sons.
Butch Woolfolk
Woolfolk led Michigan in rushing in 1979, '80 and '81. He's sixth on the Wolverines all-time list with 3,850 rushing yards and scored 29 times. He was the 1981 Rose Bowl MVP. He also was a multiple Big Ten champion in track and field and still holds the outdoor 200-meter record at Michigan (20.59 seconds) and is fourth in the 100 (10.36). A first-round NFL pick in 1982, he played seven seasons in the NFL and is now semi-retired.
Jared Zabransky
Boise State's second all-time leading passer with 8,256 yards and 58 TD passes, Zabransky was right in the middle of Sporting News' No. 2 play on our list of Defining BCS Moments. In the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, Zabransky perfectly executed the Statue of Liberty play on a 2-point conversion in overtime for the Broncos' stunning victory over Oklahoma that gave non-BCS teams a new level of respect. He works for National Oilwell Varco and works with young quarterbacks on weekends in the Houston area.

I prefer to read than write, looking for answers than asking the same questions. But I find the forums more of a place to rant than find answers. Even though the best way to complain, is by phone. I feel a seperate complaints section in the forum would make it easier to read the rest.

That's where you are wrong, the hit detection in core is bad and HC doesn't have that problem nearly as bad. You play HC so you should know this. HC just flat out plays better than core. Core is inconsistent, play a few matches of both and you will see. Lag is horrible in core but the effects of lag aren't as bad in HC. If you want to be the spokesperson for 3arc submit an application, either that or stop making excuses for them. The numbers in HC would go up if we had a mosh and DOM. Sorry if I offended you earlier but you have trolled me hard in the past. 3arc's games lag more than IW's, at least in my experience. Like I said, how is it that I have no problem finding HC games to play going as far back as WAW? I can't say anything about CoD4 cause I got hacked out about a year ago. There is no excuse for the lack of HC support. HC is what they should be building off of instead of catering to newer players with core. Ya I know vets play core (guess they enjoy mowing down noobs). There is a reason it's called hardcore and why IW classifies it under the "Advanced Playlist". Don't come at me saying core is harder, I already listed the reasons why core is a lot easier. Core has it's challenges and I'm not saying you have to be a noob to play it but HC is the advanced mode period. Core is littered with problems and inconsistent gameplay. I've been playing shooters since the 80's so I think I know what I'm talking about, and so does most of the HC community.
I play both modes and I see no difference in hit detection. What I do notice though Is zombie markers. Which makes people think the hit detection is bad. Why do HC people think its better?
Because enemies die easier, they dont have the chance to generate this misconception. does core have a problem? with hit detection? no, only reason is the legnth of time hitmarkers linger after they appear. People see the hitmarker and assume that even though they are not aiming at the enemy
that they are still getting a ton of hits, when in reality, the first hitmarker has yet to vanish.
Ya I'm tired of hearing the matchmaking excuse too. How come I can jump on HC from any of the last 5 releases and still find games without any problem even if there are only a few hundred in the list? HC DOM would be huge in HC. It's one of the most played games in Core too and I bet a lot of those playing are hardcore players who simply don't have any other option.
I agree, I stopped playing DOM because of all the BS with connection issues and moved over to HC TDM, best thing I ever did. Yes the connection issues are still present, but in most games the HC mode balances this out. Also when the connection has gone all to hell you find out real quick and can bail or camp your ass off <if you choose to>.
My stats in TDM game mode
SPM Wins W/L KDR
I think and i feel hardcore easier, you dont need to control your recoil because you have less health and every weapon can kill at any range.
If you play hardcore, you see very little lag.
Why? There is no killcam to get your little underpants in a twist over.
The Pro's DO NOT PLAY HC.
This is why. Simple and plain, get over it. They're catering to MLG, and although the small forums community would like to disagree, you're either a part of that small elite group, or ignorant.
- Younique
What Vahn said about the low HC numbers is BS. They're being as ignorant to HC as they are with every other issue people have with the game. If they only have 4 slots for HC (which again I think is BS), why don't they have 1 of the slots roling on a weekly/bi-weekly basis giving people the variety they desire. Or as other people have said - introduce a HC moshpit!
I'm sick to death of peoples ignorance on here. If people want more HC modes, why do core gamers feel the desire to troll? Just don't get involved. Go get involved in a core issue. We want more HC modes, we can see no valid reason why there are no more HC modes and we're sick of the BS people give as to why we can't have more HC modes. But then again people are also sick of the lag, overpowered SMG's, campers, head glitches, poor maps, spawn trappers, lag compensation etc etc and these issues are not resolved so why do we even bother?
You know what? I'm sick of hc cry babies!
Be glad you got anything because hc mode is an after thought that realistically NOT THAT MANY PEOPLE LIKE!
Face it. Accept it.. Move on.
Be glad you have what you have honestly, right now I have more respect for the competitive quick scoping community because they aren't crying day in and day out.
They know that if they love a secondary game mode so much they can go play it in customs to their harts content.
Hc mode ftl.
So sick of the crying from you kids.
If you're so sick of trolling hc threads then stop, problem solved.

Aarch64 Quickstart Guide
This page will help those new to aarch64(armv8) get started with the Foundation Model provided by ARM. There are a number of options available when using the model, including use of a disk image file or NFS root filesystem, as well as a choice of kernel if you would like to use Systemd or Busybox as the init process.
Download the Foundation Model
The first step will be to download the Foundation model from ARM. The model is not redistributable and will therefor require you to create a free account with ARM. Once completed you will be able to download the Foundation Model and begin.
To run the model you may need to install some additional software with the following command:
sudo yum install xterm xorg-x11-fonts-{misc,100dpi,75dpi}* telnet bridge-utils
Extract the Foundation Model
Once you have downloaded the model, you will need to set up your environment. The model can extracted to a path of your choosing, in this example we will use your home directory. Unpack the model:
mkdir ~/aarch64 cd ~/aarch64 tar xvzf FM000-KT-00035-r0p8-44rel23.tgz
Using the Model with an Image
Using the commands below, download and extract the Aarch64 root filesystem disk image. The disk image will extract to roughly 8GB in size and may take several minutes to unpack depending on your hardware.
cd ~/aarch64 wget http://fedorapeople.org/~pwhalen/aarch64/stage4-root-20130423.img.tar.bz2 tar xvjf stage4-root-20130423.img.tar.bz2
Download and extract the kernel package:
wget http://fedorapeople.org/~pwhalen/aarch64/aarch64-kernels.tar.bz2 tar xvjf aarch64-kernels.tar.bz2
The model can now be launched using the disk image as the root filesystem with the commands below:
Systemd: sudo Foundation_v8pkg/Foundation_v8 --image aarch64-kernels/systemd-3.7-image-foundation.axf --block-device stage4-root-20130423.img --network=bridged Busybox: sudo Foundation_v8pkg/Foundation_v8 --image aarch64-kernels/busybox-3.7-image-foundation.axf --block-device stage4-root-20130423.img --network=bridged
The model will take a few moments to start. The root password is 'fedora', there is also another account called 'builder' password 'builder'.
Network Configuration
After launching the model, sign in using the root account for the network to be auto-configured.
On the host system:
sudo ifconfig ARM0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
Using the model with an NFS root
Using the model through an NFS is recommended as it will allow the most flexibility when working with the system. It is important to use the paths provided as the kernel will expect the root file system to be mounted through NFS from the given path.
Setting up an NFS Root Filesystem
First you will need to create a directory for the root filesystem. It is important you use the same path in the example as the kernel expects the rootfs to be at the path used below (extracting may take several minutes depending on your hardware):
sudo mkdir -p /var/exports/aarch64/stage4-nfs-root cd /var/exports/aarch64/ sudo wget http://fedorapeople.org/~pwhalen/aarch64/stage4-root-20130423.tar.xz cd stage4-nfs-root sudo tar xvJf ../stage4-root-20130423.tar.xz sudo mv stage4-root-20130423/* . sudo mv stage4-root-20130423/.profile . sudo rm -rf stage4-root-20130423
- Now create an NFS share for the rootfs, edit /etc/exports
sudo vi /etc/exports /var/exports/aarch64/stage4-nfs-root *(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash,async)
- Start the service
sudo systemctl start nfs.service # Fedora service nfs start # RHEL
Booting the Model with an NFS root
You need to setup the network for use with the aarch64 model and the addressing used in the kernel arguments. Start the model using one of the following depending on if you would like to use systemd or busybox as your init process (Busybox is currently recommended).
- Systemd:
sudo Foundation_v8pkg/Foundation_v8 --image aarch64-kernels/systemd-3.7-nfs-foundation.axf --network=bridged
- Busybox:
sudo Foundation_v8pkg/Foundation_v8 --image aarch64-kernels/busybox-3.7-nfs-foundation.axf --network=bridged
After starting the model you will see a new device created on your host system named 'ARM0', use the following to assign an IP address for use with the model:
sudo ifconfig ARM0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
Once this adapter is assigned an IP address, the system should boot to either a login prompt or boot with busybox as the init process.
You may need to adjust your firewall to allow connections to the NFS server (Port 2049).
Allowing the Model to Connect to the Internet
On the host:
- Enable IP forwarding (as root)
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
- Set up Network Address Translation:
HOSTEXTERNAL=eth0 # Replace this with your outside interface sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $HOSTEXTERNAL -j MASQUERADE sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i $HOSTEXTERNAL -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i ARM0 -o $HOSTEXTERNAL -j ACCEPT
- Firewall trouble? Try this:
sudo iptables -A INPUT -i ARM0 -j ACCEPT
The model uses Google's Public DNS server (18.104.22.168) for name resolution (/etc/resolv.conf).
Getting Started with the Aarch64 Bootstrap
Consider setting the date to something more current. The following command, run as root, will set the date to April 19 2000 hours, 2013:
date 041920002013
Log in using the root account (using the Busybox kernel this will be done by default)
su - builder
Then execute the script:
The system should begin building packages for the aarch64 bootstrap, below is an example of the output you should see:
[builder@aarch64 ~]$ /usr/sbin/arm-rebuild.sh building: bouncycastle-1.46-7.fc19 at Thu Apr 25 22:43:27 GMT 2013 INFO: mock.py version 1.1.30 starting...

Marnie and Paige
Marnie Frances Lynnette Joy (Japanese: サヤカ・フランソワ・ジョーイ Sayaka François Joy) and Paige Frances Lynnelle Joy (Japanese: マイ・フランソワ・ジョーイ Mai François Joy) are two sisters, the daughters of Karsten and a Nurse Joy, and characters of the day who appeared in Drifloon on the Wind!.
Marnie appears to be about Ash and Dawn's age, and Paige seems to be around the age of Max. They help their mother at home, as well as Karsten, who works at the Valley Windworks.
The two girls have four Drifloon between them. Marnie has three while Paige has only one. They are often used for transportation; for example, whenever Karsten forgets his lunch on his way to work (an occurrence that appears to be usual), Marnie has her three Drifloon fly her to the Valley Windworks so she can deliver it. Paige wishes she could tag along, but Marnie sternly tells her that she's too young and so leaves her behind.
Throughout the course of Drifloon on the Wind!, Paige hinted at having a very special friend that lives in the forest. Although Marnie forbade her from telling anybody about the special friend, Paige attempted to circumvent this and tried to show Ash the friend instead of saying its name out loud. However, when the friend failed to appear, Paige informed Ash that it is in fact a Suicune.
After Team Rocket tried and failed to steal Karsten's Ampharos, the power went out at the Pokémon Center due to problems at the Valley Windworks. Contrary to her mother's instructions, Paige tried to join the rest of her family when she was left alone with Ash and his friends. Before Ash and his friends could stop her, Paige, her Drifloon, and Pikachu were carried away by the raging storm outside. Although Ash eventually found them, they could not find their way back to Brock, Dawn, Marnie, Nurse Joy, and Karsten. At this, Marnie went to Suicune's home and begged for help. When Suicune again did not appear, Marnie realized that it was her responsibility to rescue her little sister. At this, Suicune finally came to Marnie and the two of them were just in time to save Ash and Paige from falling into a deep canyon. After the danger had passed, the two sisters were reunited with their parents.
Marnie is shown to be very protective of Paige in a manner similar to how May treats Max. When Paige wanted to go along with Marnie to deliver Karsten's lunch, Marnie was adamant about leaving her little sister behind because she thought it was too dangerous. Marnie scolds Paige whenever she feels as though her sister has done something wrong but obviously cares deeply for her nonetheless.

You can help by adding this information.
This is a listing of Marnie and Paige's Pokémon:
| Marnie's three Drifloon was first seen giving Marnie a ride to the Power Plant after her father forgot his lunch at the Pokémon Center.
Later, when Paige was carried away by the strong winds, Marnie sent out her Drifloon to help but Ash ended up going to find Paige with the Drifloon instead of her.
When the storm finally settled and Marnie saved Ash and Paige with Suicune's help, the Drifloon returned to her.
None of Drifloon's moves are known.
|Drifloon On the Wind!
| Drifloon was first seen when Marnie was planning on taking their father's lunch to him after he forgot it at home. Wanting to come too, Paige brought out her Drifloon but was not allowed to go. Instead, her mother told her to take some cookies into the forest for the wild Pokémon.
After the power went out due to Ampharos's use of Thunder while Team Rocket tried to steal it, Paige attempted to go find her father, but due to the heavy winds was carried off into the mountains along with her Drifloon and Pikachu.
After they became stuck in the mountains, Ash came to save them, but they ended up falling down a cliff and were saved just in time by Marnie and Suicune.
None of Drifloon's moves are known.
|Drifloon On the Wind!
| When Paige was told to bring cookies to the forest Pokémon by her mother, she went to go show Ash her friend, Suicune, but Suicune did not appear, although Ash seemed to believe Paige's story.
Later, when Paige went missing, Marnie came to the lake that Paige brought Ash to and begged for Suicune's help to find Paige. Finally, when Marnie realized Suicune wasn't coming and that she would have to save her sister by herself, Suicune appeared in front of her and helped her save Paige.
Suicune was next seen saving Paige and Ash from a dangerous fall with Marnie riding on its back.
Later, Team Rocket spotted Suicune on a hill, excited to see the legendary Pokémon. They started running after it with Poké Balls, only to be blasted away with Aurora Beam.
Suicune's only known move is Aurora Beam.

Social Media Stirs Ghanaians to Action over Discrimination (REPORT)
(HN, November 2, 2011) - African governments are not the only ones to fear the combination of disgruntled masses and social media. Businesses too are at the mercy of Africans wielding mobile phones, Facebook and Twitter.
In the west African nation of Ghana, where five mobile networks have generated a cell phone penetration rate of 80.5 percent, hand-held devices are all the rage. And many people in this country of almost 25 million people have social media access on their mobile devices.
Take Elizabeth Okoro. She took to Facebook to recount being discriminated against at a restaurant named Atlantic Lobster and Dolphin Ltd. in the Osu part of the bustling capital, Accra.
In a Facebook post dated Saturday, Okoro recalled asking the Italian owner of the restaurant if she, along with her Spanish and Japanese dining companions, could become members of the restaurant's "Seafood Lovers" Club.
According to Okoro, restaurant management responded with a laugh, saying the club was for white people only. "I was completely taken aback and rendered speechless," Okoro says in her Facebook post.
Okoro was not speechless for long.
The Facebook group that she created on Saturday - "White's Only Club in Gh..Pls Boycott Atlantic Lobster and Dolphin Ltd" - has ballooned to over 1,420 members. Even a local radio station, X-FM, invited Okoro on the air to speak about her experiences.
The Ghanaian government has taken notice. On Tuesday, Joy FM reported that Ghana's tourism ministry has shut down Atlantic Lobster, as a result of a lack of compliance with operation codes.
Elizabeth's plight seems to have resonated with many Ghanaians on social media.
On both Twitter and Facebook, they are now speaking out about their experiences of discrimination at the hands of foreign-owned businesses, particularly in Accra.
And, as more and more expatriates are moving to Accra to take advantage of investment opportunities, political stability and easy proximity to palm-fringed beaches, many Ghanaians are sharing experiences of being refused service in favor of expats at clubs, bars, restaurants, and bakeries. "Ghana should not accept this from any foreign investor"- said one Facebook commenter named Yehowa Ji Mi Kwelor.
"That's Ghana for you" is a popular expression of defeated resignation, and is used to explain everything from corruption to power rationing to discrimination.
But now with virtually unlimited access to social media platforms, young Ghanaians are pledging to no longer keep quiet about injustices Perhaps older generations of Ghanaians would have kept silent about such treatment.
But as Okoro posted on her Facebook wall on Tuesday, "Today marks the birth of a new generation. A new generation of Ghanaians who will not only be heard but will scream out against discrimination. A new generation who will not turn a blind eye against injustice. We have shed the cloak of inaction and out on a super hero cloak of determination. I am proud to be member of this generation. "
It may come as no surprise that the government acted so promptly. According to the World Bank, the tourism industry is now the third highest foreign exchange earner in Ghana, with average earnings of over $400 million per year.
From the looks of things, Okoro's call for action on Facebook has sent echoes far and wide.
Attiah is a Ghanaian-American master's student at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs. She holds research interests in broadcast media and citizen participation in Africa.

Rising from the Ashes: A True Story of Survival and Forgiveness from Hiroshima
eBook (ePub)

This is a true and incredible story of a Japanese adolescent, Shinji Mikamo, who miraculously survived the first atomic bombing of human kinds. He was on top of his house roof with nothing to shield him at only ¾ of a mile (1,200m) from the epicenter in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 toward the end of the World War II. But what made Shinji stand out from most of the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or even of many other man-made disasters in our history, he never hated Americans as aggressors. He somehow saw things from a much bigger perspective even in the very strict Japanese military government's mind control of civilians during the war. As one of his three legacy-carrying daughters, Dr. Akiko Mikamo wrote his story to send out the messages of human love and power of forgiveness to remind the world our worst enemies of yesterday could become the best friends of tomorrow.

GotToBeTight necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 86 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
B cubed, that is B to 3rd power
I need to have a logo created. The logo will be the face for a brand new technology which treats depression, anxiety, and insomnia. The logo should convey a new technology but it also need to be warm and personal.
A little about the technology:
The amazing breakthrough treatment, Nexalin Advanced Therapy, works like a 'Reset' button on your emotions, moods, and well-being, returning you safely to normal. Nexalin therapy does not involve drugs, shots, or painful surgery.
Anyone who wants to optimize their life. The technology is approved by the FDA to treat depression, anxiety, and insomnia.
I am attaching the company's logo (logo.jpg) who created the technology. We have permission to use elements of the logo in our new logo.
See attachment named requirements.gif for more instructions.
Please put your artistic hat on and come up with something cool. You are welcome to do any combination of colors. I think a nice blue color may be good for some aspects of the logo.
We are looking forward to seeing your work!

Come on, keannu. "I loves her"? How does that sound to you? I know that the "as well as X" should be ignored in determining which verb to use, but how it sounds will affect what is actually said.
None of these will ever sound natural and the only way a native speaker would say them is if they started saying one thing thing (One of my friends) and then mentally switched gears and ended awkwardly.
Don't waste your time learning how to make these unnatural sentences.
I love her and so does one of my friends.
One of my friends loves her and so do I.
She is loved both by one of my friends and by me.
