On a distant planet...
Some Galaxy Patrol troops are investigating an uncharted planet, when all of a sudden they stumble upon some GT.
Galaxy Patrol 1: "Look at this GT! We should call the Zupponn Mining Co. and have them take a look at this stuff."
Galaxy Patrol 2: "Yeah, if it's of good quality they could pay us a small fortune!"
Commander Holt: "This is a ZMC line. State your business."
Galaxy Patrol 1: "Galaxy Patrol here. We've found a site you might be interested in. I'm sending you the coordinates now."
Commander Holt: "Received. We'll be there in a few hours to take a look at it."
Galaxy Patrol 1: "Sounds good. We'll await your arrival."
Galaxy Patrol 4: "Hostiles incoming!"
Galaxy Patrol 1: "What?!? Engage! Engage! Engage!"
Commander Holt: "Looks like they didn't make it."
Commander Holt: "Listen up men! I want a full sweep of the area. Look for any sign of who or what took down these troopers."
ZMC Soldier: "Commander! Look on the horizon! Space Dorfs!"
Commander Holt: "So that's what took out the Galaxy Patrol detachment. Give 'em hell boys!"
Olaf the Badass: "More intruders! C'mon men, lets show these dogs what a rough and tumble is really like!"
The Fight Beards move up and open fire.
Some ZMC troops go down.
The ZMC doesn't hesitate to return fire.
The Dorfs take some losses as well.
The Tough Beards engage the ZMC berserkers in close combat. The Dorf captain blocks the GTC with his OT shield while a Tough Beard gets cut in two by the other.
The Tough Beards push forward though and overwhelm the berserkers with their superior numbers.
Meanwhile Olaf and Holt engage in some CC of their own.
The Dorf artillery opens fire.
Scratch one ZMC grunt.
The trike moves up and an RPG is fired.
Another ZMC grunt is exploded.
Seeing as his forces are taking quite the beating, Holt decides it's time to get out of there. He gives Olaf a mighty kick, sending him flying into the Fight Beards.
Commander Holt: "I'll be back you Dorfs! Just you wait!"
As the ZMC retreats, the Dorfs fire another RPG.
It takes out another grunt.
Olaf watches as the enemy retreats, knowing that the time of seclusion is over for his people.
And the time of warfare has begun.

Hiatal hernia is a condition in which part of the stomach extends through an opening the diaphragm into the chest. The diaphragm is the sheet of muscle that divides the chest from the abdomen.
Alternative Names
Hernia - hiatal
The exact cause of hiatal hernias is unknown. The condition may be due to a weakening of the supporting tissue. Your risk for the problem goes up with age,
This condition may cause
Children with this condition are usually born with it (congenital). It often occurs with
Chest pain Heartburn, worse when bending over or lying down
- Swallowing difficulty
A hiatal hernia by itself rarely causes symptoms. Pain and discomfort are due to the upward flow of stomach acid, air, or bile.
Exams and Tests
Barium swallow x-ray
- Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (
The goals of treatment are to relieve symptoms and prevent complications. Treatments may include:
- Medicines to control stomach
- Medicine to strengthen the muscles in the lower esophagus that keeps stomach contents from backing up
Surgery to repair the hiatal hernia
Other measures to reduce symptoms include:
- Avoiding large or heavy meals
- Not lying down or bending over right after a meal
- Reducing weight and not smoking
- Raising the head of the bed 4 to 6 inches
If medicines and lifestyle measures do not help control symptoms, you may need surgery.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Treatment can relieve most symptoms of hiatal hernia.
Possible Complications
- Pulmonary (lung)
- Slow bleeding and
iron deficiency anemia(due to a large hernia)
- Strangulation (closing off) of the hernia
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if:
- You have symptoms of a hiatal hernia.
- You have a hiatal hernia and your symptoms get worse or do not improve with treatment.
- You develop new symptoms.
Controlling risk factors such as obesity may help prevent hiatal hernia.

This article, entitled "Restaurant Tips: Eating Better When Eating Out," comes from Carolyn O'Neil at BestFoodFacts.org.
Better driving is dependent on knowing the rules of the road. Your journey toward more nutritious eating also begins with careful navigation. Whether the eats are at a happy hour with co-workers or dining out at a restaurant with family and friends, basic dining detours such as passing on the bread basket or taking the "carpool" approach and splitting a meal with someone at the table can make a big difference.
These simple detours can help you determine a better route to nutritious eating, navigating away from Overload Road to a more pleasant Lean Street - avoiding any unfortunate "crashes" into excess calories, fat or sodium.
Whether you're dining at the local eatery or just looking for a quick bite at the airport or mall, the Restaurant Road Rules from registered dietitian Carolyn O'Neil can keep you well fueled and in the driver's seat.

Words by Mr Jeremy Langmead
Some 21-year-old pop stars, adulated by millions since their mid-teens, cocooned by entourages whenever they leave a hotel room, and protected by publicists at every enquiry, do not make the most scintillating company. Many go off the rails, others can barely utter a sentence (they have someone else to do it for them), and few grow into affable young men with admirable manners and a good line in conversation.
Somehow Mr Jonas has broken the mould. After huge success as a member of the Grammy-nominated, purity-ring wearing Jonas Brothers (the third album with his two siblings topped the Billboard chart in 2008), a successful Disney Channel movie or two, a reality TV series, more than 2,250,000 Twitter followers and 942,936 Facebook fans and counting, this American singer seems very grounded indeed. And we should know: in the past three months MR PORTER has had the pleasure of Mr Jonas' company three times in three different cities.
We first made his acquaintance at our dinner held at the Chateau Marmont in LA in honour of the designer Mr Simon Spurr. Mr Jonas is a big fan of fashion (more of which later) and turned out to be delightful company: one of those rare beasts who, despite being in the spotlight and the subject of a thousand press junket questions, manages to engage his dinner companions by asking, as well as answering, questions - a rare attribute in certain demographics today.
A few weeks later, the MR PORTER team drew up outside the Principe hotel in Milan where we were staying for the biannual menswear shows to find the entrance surrounded by gaggles of teenage girls peering eagerly into the tinted windows of each car that pulled up. They appeared very disappointed when they saw it was only us; we were equally disappointed to discover that we were not the reason they'd been camping outside on the pavement for the previous two days.
Away from the mayhem, tucked inside the hotel's resplendent lobby, Mr Jonas was taking tea with his team; he chatted happily to well-wishers who stopped by to say hello; and later that evening was equally comfortable enjoying the hotel's lively bar scene. The only clue there was a pop star in the house was the sizeable bouncers and the fact that one of the hotel's lifts had been cordoned off for sole use by the Jonas entourage.
The singer was in Milan to attend the Calvin Klein fashion show while on a promotional tour of Europe prior to releasing his first solo album. Leaving the comfort and adulation teen band membership must give you, and launching yourself as a "grown-up" artist, must be a daunting task. You just
know you're going to be judged: judged by the teen fans who never want you to stop being a prepubescent Jonas brother; judged by the big boy pop world who'll be very suspicious that you've decided to try to join their club; and judged by your peers who've tried and failed to successfully make the transition from cute to cool.
"It's bizarre to think it's all on me this time," he says, when we meet again in a photographic studio in north London for this shoot. "But the feedback from fans so far has been great. But it also helps that I have my brothers' support. They understood that I wanted to do something on my own, and told me to take my time." Have they heard his album yet? "Yes, I got a lift in my brother's car and he had it playing. I didn't even know he had a copy - he must have got it from the record company. Luckily, they really like it."
Mr Jonas says his solo debut, due out in September, is an upbeat album with a dance/electro sound. "It's fun; something you'd listen to when hanging out with your friends," he says. The lyrics, however, are very honest and raw. The first single, 'See No More', which he co-wrote with Mr Chris Brown, is a mid-tempo ballad about the breakdown of a relationship (he split up with the Twilight actress, Ms Ashley Greene, earlier this year). "It was an emotional, upsetting song to write, but I truly find music the easiest way through which to express my feelings. Releasing a song is a bit like handing your journal over for people to read."
For the moment, his legions of female fans will be delighted to hear he says he's enjoying being single, although there are rumours he's dating the Marc Jacobs model Ms Karlie Kloss. "It's nice to focus on one thing sometimes, and for now that's my music. It's tough when you're far away from someone for long periods of time and so when you're single you don't need to feel bad about that. "But," he adds, "you're always looking for the right person." And who would that perfect person be? "Hmm, that's hard to say. I change my mind all the time; and if you do name someone it's then awkward when you bump into them." When asked to name who he thinks is, or was, the most beautiful woman in the world, he finds it easier. "Elizabeth Taylor. In her heyday, she was amazing," he smiles.
Now that the awkward questions are over, he gets ready to model for the fashion pictures above, something he clearly enjoys. "I love fashion," he explains. "Over the past year I've got heavily into it. Whether I'm going out for the night, or during the day, I love putting on something that pops and makes you feel comfortable." Brands he favours include Simon Spurr, Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Burberry and Calvin Klein. "I'm a big shoe guy, too. I have far too many pairs. Whenever there's a new style out, I'll text my stylist: 'Can we get a pair of those?'"
For all the plush hotel suites, limos, assistants and fashion front rows these young prodigies have access to, it's a strange life they lead. Although Mr Jonas gets to travel the world in style, he's been on the road for months with only two days off at home in LA, has a diary that's fully booked with commitments until next spring, and has fans and record company executives closely watching his every move - eager to see if he can do a Timberlake and hop over the Disney fence to mainstream credibility. But, happily, he seems to enjoy the pressure. And if he does find it stressful, he has the good grace to hide it well. Mind you, I suppose there aren't many jobs where you leave work with a new Givenchy jacket and a pair of Margiela trainers. Mr Jonas liked them so much, and asked so politely, we couldn't say no. After all, most pop stars would have just nicked them and not said a word.
'see no more'
Mr Jonas' album, Fast Life, is out on 6 September

Developer - Office of Naval Research
Published on Apr 5, 2014
April 5, 2014. ARLINGTON, Va.— Autonomy options for the Marines have taken a major step forward, as officials at the Office of Naval Research (ONR) announced today two successful helicopter flight demonstrations with unmanned flight capability at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., part of the Autonomous Aerial Cargo/Utility System (AACUS) program.
AACUS will enable the Marine Corps to rapidly resupply forces on the front lines using cutting-edge technology sponsored by ONR. The system consists of a sensor and software package that will be integrated into rotary wing aircraft to detect and avoid obstacles in unfavorable weather conditions, or to enable autonomous, unmanned flight. The capability will be a welcome alternative to dangerous convoys, manned aircraft or air drops in all weather conditions.
"This is a giant leap in autonomous capabilities for our Marines," said Chief of Naval Research Rear Adm. Matthew Klunder. "Imagine a Marine unit needing more ammunition and water where a helicopter crew would be in peril trying to fly in, either from weather or enemy fire.
"With AACUS, an unmanned helicopter takes the supplies from the base, picks out the optimal route and best landing site closest to the warfighters, lands, and returns to base once the resupply is complete—all with the single touch of a handheld tablet."
The need for this capability surfaced during Marine Corps operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, experts say. Cargo helicopters and resupply convoys of trucks bringing fuel, food, water, ammunition and medical supplies to the front lines frequently found themselves under fire from adversaries, or the target of roadside bombs and other improvised explosive devices.
The AACUS technology is designed to be simple to use; an operator with minimal training can call up the supplies needed and order the flights using only a handheld tablet. In the demonstration tests at Quantico, a Marine with no prior experience with the technology was given a handheld device and 15 minutes of training.
The Marine was able to quickly and easily program in the supplies needed and the destination, and the helicopters arrived quickly—even autonomously selecting an alternative landing site based on last-second no-fly-zone information added in from the Marine.
"This technology truly opens up new unmanned operations capabilities," said Max Snell, the AACUS program manager. "In the most immediate sense, AACUS will enable safer resupply for the warfighter and save pilots' lives. Down the road, as the technology develops, it could be used for casualty evacuation, bringing supplies to first responders in disaster areas, and more."
The technology enables the manned or unmanned rotary wing aircraft to detect and avoid obstacles like telephone wires, large objects on the ground and even a vehicle or other object that has appeared since the initial landing site was chosen by AACUS.
Officials say the five-year effort represents a leap-ahead technology for the Marine Corps and Navy, moving autonomous flights far beyond the current standard which requires a specialized operator to select a landing site and manually control an unmanned aircraft via remote.
"Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has discussed using drones to deliver a customer's book order in 30 minutes," said Klunder. "We're talking the same concept here—the difference is, we're bringing our customer, the Marine, 5,000 pounds of ammo and water instead."

Just because it's dark and cold out doesn't mean you can't get out and ride. After all, as Eddy Merckx, every single magazine, and everyone on Facebook says: "there's no bad weather, just bad clothing". With the right outerwear on (and the right equipment and preparations), you can ride comfortably in just about any conditions.
We've done some rough guides to dressing for the weather before, but folks keep asking us for specific jacket recommendations. So we pulled out some of our favorites to highlight here for you today. These are all jackets we regularly ride at lunch, after work, and on the weekends.
Castelli Mortirolo Due Jacket:
This is a heavier-weight, Wind Stopper soft shell jacket from Castelli. It has a smaller cut and a race fit, so we'd definitely recommend buying a size up… especially if you plan on layer up with it. Paired with a long sleeve base layer (or two if it's really cold), this jacket can help you tackle even the worst weather.
For the WOMEN'S version, click here.
Craft Elite Bike Pace Jacket:
The Craft Elite Bike Pace is another soft shell jacket that does an amazing job of holding in heat without over heating the rider. With a soft, breathable exterior, wind-resistant panels, and an innovative brushed fleece interior featuring ThermoCool technology to help regulate body temperature, this is a great jacket for all day rides in cold conditions. Paired with a base layer and long sleeve jersey, this jacket will keep you comfy down to at least 8 degrees Fahrenheit. Trust us, we had the dubious pleasure of getting to test that out during the Coldest Day of the Year Ride (for North Carolina).
Sugoi Icon Rain Jacket:
The Sugoi Icon is more of a rain jacket than an insulating jacket, but if you live in New England or the Pacific Northwest, you'll probably need one of these. The Icon is made from Polartec's incredible new NeoShell material, which is the most breathable waterproof material on the market right now. That being said, you still might want to save this one for when you really need it, because it'll still hold heat during climbing or hard efforts. But when the rain is coming down, it's packed with innovative and useful features that'll keep you dry and cozy while riding. We found this jacket to run a little bit on the larger side…but that should be fine if you'll be layering under it.
For the WOMEN'S version, click here.
Here's a cool video about Sugoi's jacket technology:
Performance Transformer 2.0 Jacket:
This Performance Transformer 2.0 jacket is a great choice for milder days when you might only need a wind jacket. The Transformer 2.0 jacket is built with a wind-resistant material that helps keep you warm on blowy days, and removable sleeves to turn the jacket into a vest if the day really warms up. It's not insulated, so if you'll be wearing it when it's really cold out, you'll need to layer up underneath, but it's definitely a great choice for most occasions. It has plenty of features that make it ideal for all-day riding.
Pearl Izumi Elite Barrier Convertible Jacket:
Like the Performance Transformer 2.0 jacket, this Pearl Izumi jacket is a wind layer, aimed at more mild days. Again, it's not insulated, so in the winter its best used as part of a layering system, but it does a stellar job of cutting the wind. Thanks to removable sleeves, you basically get two garments in one that allows it to be worn most of the year. And, with its great use of color and graphics, this jacket stands apart from the crowd.
For the WOMEN'S version, click here.
Louis Garneau Enerblock Cycling Jacket
Being a Canadian brand, Louis Garneau understands the importance of staying warm on the bike better than most. That's why the Louis Garneau Enerblock Cycling jacket is made form Garneau's amazing Heatmaxx and Enerblock fabrics. Enerblock helps cut the wind chill, while Heatmaxx provides a brushed fleece interior that maximizes heat retention. Pair with a base layer on milder days, or add in a long sleeve jersey to take on even the coldest days. It's also got some cool features you won't find on most other cycling jackets, like hand warmer pockets and a zippered sleeve pocket for snacks or valuables.

When Ethan and Khaire left the Philippines I heard of an EXPRESS PASS! Luckil it wasn't the Express Pass from TAR17 and it was a HELICOPTER EXPRESS PASS! It's a good thing that Jess & Lani are able to catch up or the race will be predictable. Claire & Michelle's use of the U-Turn was a waste! I was looking forward for the Richard's to U-Turn Ethan & Khaire. If that happens .Y'know, This leg should be a NEL I think because the roadblock is by chance. Oh well, Bye Ivan & Hilda you ran a good race! Better than Henri & Terri I think
mind posting a recap on the first part how they were able to board the flight out of Philippines? would appreciate it. thanks!

After many happy months spent sauntering contentedly through the database, I recently came across a curious little bug in SQLDeveloper 1.5.4 where the Triggers on a View are not displayed in the appropriate Tab.
Not to worry, it's about time I upgraded to 2.1.1 anyway. Or so I thought. I should have known – it's the summer and bugs are everywhere.
Incidentally, if you need a workaround for the Views issue ( which seems to afflict all version up to 2.1.x, then a workaround is available here.
Fast forward then and I'm now sitting here front of SQLDeveloper 18.104.22.168.45 on Windows Vista…and wondering what exactly it's done to all of those package bodies that were there a moment ago.
What follows is a summary of my attempts to find out just what is going on and how to get around it. Continue reading

by misac » Tue Nov 05, 2013 11:04 amPretty good Raw, good matches but that final segment sucked. Big Show kills all interest in this angle, and the fact they're using him instead of Bryan makes me resent it.
by Flynn the Pirate » Tue Nov 05, 2013 1:12 pmI thought that WWE Creative made a huge misstep in booking Big Show/Orton at Survivor Series. A title match between the two is inevitable, but the ongoing storyline building up to that confrontation really hasn't been fleshed out. Thus far, Big Show's antagonists have been Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Any interaction that the two have had up to this point has only been when the Big Show attacked Orton to get to Triple H and Stephanie.
It also leaves Kane, who they have made a major plot point of going over to The Authority, acting only as spoiler. But with the presence of The Shield, who have largely been relegated to spoiler status after losing the tag titles, that seems superfluous.
I still say that a better way to go would have been to have Big Show, leading a Survivor Series team, win his employment back at the PPV of the same name with Orton acting as the opposing team captain and thus not defending the title (thus also allowing them to really build a Sandow/Cena/Del Rio feud and give back a little distinction to the World Heavyweight Title by making it the biggest title defended at the upcoming event). After pinning Orton to win the Survivor Series match, book Big Show in a one-on-one with Kane in a rule-less match (use any of the ten thousand names they have for such matches these days) with a shot at Orton being on the line (Orton defends against a handpicked challenger, thus underscoring that Orton can't win without the deck being stacked in his favor). Then have Big Show challenge at Royal Rumble.
That gives nearly three months of build up and a chance to really give the confrontation between the two men some actual character. As it stands right now, it feels less like he wants the title and more like he just wants to screw Triple H and Stephanie, which in turn, I think, devalues the title.
by Punchy » Tue Nov 05, 2013 1:23 pm
They can't have Triple H be trying to keep Daniel Bryan down, yet at the same time give him title shots every month. I think the plan is for Bryan to be deliberately kept away from Orton by Triple H (he sent The Wyatts after him and Punk, Kane might also get involved) until he wins the Royal Rumble, as that's a title shot Triple H can't deny and can't control.

1. The Authority did much worse to him than the Wyatt Family so him just dropping that feud to go after them doesn't ring true. And actually makes me dislike Daniel Bryan a little. Makes me question if he'll even get revenge on the Wyatts, one of 3MB might spill coffee on him and he'll go after them before he finishes them off.
2. Big Show sucks! Not really but I just don't find him at all sympathetic (he punched Dusty Rhodes!). And it's more than that, I just want someone different.

Feds Seeking To Silence The Media Over Barrett Brown, After They Locked Him Up For Posting A Link
from the prosecutorial-overreach dept
The incredible thing is that the linking to leaked materials, including those that reveal hacked documents and things like passwords is fairly common. As the EFF pointed out a few weeks back, if what Brown did with the link to Stratfor emails was a crime then plenty of other publications are guilty of the same thing, including The Daily Beast and Buzzfeed, who both posted links to what some claimed were passwords for email accounts of Congressional staffers.
Even more ridiculous, however, is that the government is seeking to silence the media from reporting on the case, claiming, ridiculously that press coverage related to the case is something it can blame on Brown himself because various publications are reporting on the ridiculous details of his arrest and the charges against him.
Today, there is the latest hearing in his case, in which the US government is asking the court to issue a gag order barring both Brown and his lawyer from "making any statement to members of any television, radio, newspaper, magazine, Internet (including, but not limited to, bloggers), or other media organization about this case, other than matters of public record."
Think about this for a second. Not only is the main charge against him for the "crime" of copying a URL from one place on the internet to another, but now the government is actively seeking to silence the media coverage about this case.

L33T Speak probably isn't something you want to teach someone, if only because it is an annoying way to type. But an American reporter decided that Japan needs to learn the fine nuances of the 'l33t' language and the Japanese audience seemed thrilled with this new way of typing!
leet speak is just annoying. I don't see what the point is really. Anyone with a brain can understand leet speak so you might as well type normally.
Just like they were and still are thrilled with the English language.
Don't tell Japan about these things, it only makes things worse.

Wall Street seems to have lost faith in what was once the growth darling of organic and all-natural food stocks, CNBC's Jim Cramer said on Wednesday.
Just before shares of Whole Foods Market tanked more than 20 percent when trading opened Wednesday morning, Cramer said analysts that cover the organic grocer appeared to have turned on the company, expressing "rebellion" on Tuesday evening's conference call. Whole Foods reported quarterly earnings Tuesday that fell short of Wall Street's expectations.
"This was one of those conference calls where the analysts actually outright questioned whether the company is being serious about the competition," Cramer said on "Squawk on the Street."
"I think what people are going to say is I'd rather shop there than own the stock. The problem is there's a loss of faith here," he said.
Five analysts lowered their ratings on the grocery chain after Whole Foods' earnings. The company also cut its 2014 forecasts for same-store sales and earnings as competition increases in its sector.

In an interview with CNBC on Tuesday, Whole Foods co-CEO Walter Robb chalked up the disappointing quarter to "short-term headwinds," such as investments the company has made in new stores, frigid winter weather and price adjustments.

The cynicism of racial politics knows almost no limit
There is no cow sacred enough to avoid becoming a political football.
The cynicism of racial politics knows almost no limit. Both sides try to show that they are "minority friendly" with true racial equality taking a back seat to racial block voting.
The recent anniversary of Rosa Parks decision to face trial rather than give up her seat on a Montgomery, Ala. Bus brought out the worst in both sides of the aisle and moved the spotlight off of the real lesson Parks' decision should teach us.
The Republicans took the opportunity to remember Parks for her role in "ending" racism. That's like celebrating the end of winter during a snowstorm. We aren't quite there yet.
Republicans seem to err on the side of claiming missions are accomplished prematurely on a regular basis.
In their defense, the end of racism claim came via the official Republican National Committee Twitter feed. Sure, you would expect someone to have taken a second look at that tweet before placing it in the public forum. But it is hard to speak with much nuance when you are limited to 140 characters.
It wasn't the end of racism in America, but the tweet wasn't exactly the end of the world either.
President Barack Obama marked the anniversary of Parks refusal to give up her seat in the same way he did last year. He tweeted a photo of himself sitting on an empty bus.
In Obama's defense, he is the first black President and many times in his career I am sure he faced a virtual "give up your seat" situation and he obviously didn't succumb to that pressure.
But even as President, there are some situations that aren't about you. Because of the nature of his first minority President status, Obama's legacy will be magnified. His administration has always kept one eye on that and opened the door to narcissim charges by his opponents. In this case, he walked right through that door.
But while both sides were trying to own the Rosa Parks story, neither side told it.
While Parks' stand didn't end racism, I think it is important to see how far we have come.
Fifty-eight years ago when she told the bus driver she would not move, Parks lived in a world where busses were segregated. So were cafeterias, bathrooms and water fountains.
Opporunities in education and employment for people whose skin bore too much pigment were incredibly limited.
But Rosa Parks wasn't a civil rights activist. She was a seamstress. She was physically tired from a long day of work and emotionally tired of bus drivers telling her to give up her seat. In that moment, her courage and resolve were tested and she passed with flying colors.
When the Montgomery Improvement Association was formed to deal with racist issues in the city a young minister named Martin Luther King, Jr. was chosen to lead the group.
She was a seamstress. If more whites had found another way home that evening, she might never have crossed over to become a political activist.
But she stood up for her convictions, and like a rising tide lifts all ships, her actions elevated King as a leader andpaved the way for him to help people of color knock down many of the barriers that held them back.
Now their grandchildren will never encounter many of the issues they faced every day.
Things have change. But tihngs don't just change. People change them.
Rosa Parks went from seamstress to activist with one sentence.
I think many of us will face that moment one day and most will choose the past of least resistence and move to the back of our bus and suffer in silence.
But there will be some who stand up and refuse to go along with social or political systems that are morally abhorent.
The first days or weeks or months are never easy. But those are the people who make the world better for all of us. After all, Parks was found guilty of not following the bus ordinance and ordered to pay $14 in fines and court costs. She lost her job, as did her husband. They ended up having to move from Montgomery to Detroit.
The bus boycott that followed left public busses in moth balls and led to an outbreak of racist violence in which black churches were burned down and black people were terrorized in their homes.
Not long after, a district court and eventually the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the racist Jim Crows Laws.
After 381 days, the city leaders had no choice but to give in to the financial pressure from the boycott and legal pressure from the courts to desegregate public transportation.
One woman's actions were a spark that consumed legally established racism.
What is important enough to force you into action? Hope is not a strategy and good intentions don't bring about change.
Action does that. And that is up to you.

Sept. 17, 2006
CUMBERLAND, Maine - MIT continued its strong start to the 2006 campaign by following up last week's victory at the Engineers Cup with an impressive first-place finish at the Bates College Cross Country Invitational. MIT scored 25 points in easily outpacing the host Bobcats (49) and Keene State (61) for the team title.
Freshman Maria Monks paced the MIT attack for the second straight week, earning runner-up honors with a time of 19:30 in the 5k race. Jennifer Adams was impressive for Keene as she raced away from the field in winning with a split of 19:00.
After yielding the third spot to Bates' Kathryn Moore, the Engineers powered past the competition by grabbing fourth through sixth. Fellow rookie Jacqui Wentz led the chase pack with a time of 19:57, while Jennifer Doyle and Liz Finn crossed fifth and sixth, respectively. Hana Adaniya closed out the Tech scoring with an eighth-place finish with Rachel Niehuus (11th) and Alisha Schor (12th) rounding out MIT's top seven.
Finn enjoyed a huge improvement on Saturday, finishing 30 seconds ahead of last week's pace, while Niehuus added more muscle to the Engineers' depth after making her regular-season debut.

Did The US & Sweden Team Up To Get Cambodia To Arrest The Pirate Bay Founder... About Something Unrelated To TPB?
from the wouldn't-put-it-past-them dept
Either way, let's start with the basics. First, Cambodia has admitted that it will be deporting Svartholm, even though there's no extradition treaty between Cambodia and Sweden. Of course, deportation and extradition are not the same thing, and you don't need an extradition treaty to deport someone. But it is still notable.
But then there are two bits of news that seem like quite the coincidence. First up: Ron Kirk, the US Trade Rep, and the main US government official responsible for ACTA and the TPP... just happened to be in Cambodia the very day that Svartholdm was arrested... and, the very next day, Sweden just happened to announce a $59 million "aid package" with Cambodia. Is it any wonder that some are asking if Sweden basically paid Cambodia to arrest Svartholm... and if the US had a helping hand in all of this?
At this point, it certainly could all be a coincidence -- which is the direction I tend to lean for the time being -- but it is quite a coincidence. We already know that the US government has been heavily involved in getting Sweden to put The Pirate Bay on trial. In fact, the US's deep involvement in Swedish copyright laws and policies has been a source of friction with some Swedish officials. Furthermore, Ron Kirk's entire role is about negotiating agreements and treaties between countries -- so the fact that a Swedish/Cambodia deal came together just as he was in the country? It certainly wouldn't be shocking to find out that he had a hand in making the deal happen.
But, let's add in one more bit of info. Svartholm's fellow TPB'er Peter Sunde is claiming that the arrest is not related to The Pirate Bay, though other reports claim otherwise. Some other friends are also insisting that it's not related to TPB, though I will admit to being skeptical. More surprising, perhaps, is Sunde's suggestion that the arrest may actually have more to do with Wikileaks, which Svartholm's company used to host, rather than The Pirate Bay... Of course, if that's the case, it doesn't discount the involvement of the US or Sweden (and might only reinforce it). Though it does add an element of... oddity to the whole situation.
Of course, even if the arrest is about something else, if he does end up being shipped back to Sweden, the TPB issue won't just go away. And it's likely that whoever is involved -- whether it's these other two governments or not -- recognizes that as well.
Update: TorrentFreak is now reporting that the arrest is about a tax hack:
Svartholm's arrest is related to a hacking operation that may date back to 2010.
The hack targeted Swedish IT company Logica, which supplies services to the Swedish tax office. Earlier this year the hack made the headlines when the tax numbers of 9,000 Swedes leaked online.

==Scripting Extensions==
==Scripting Extensions==
Krita Scripting
Krita is a painting and image editing application for KOffice.
Krita comes with a bunch of plugins where the scripting plugin uses the Kross scripting framework to offer powerful scripting with Python, Ruby and KDE JavaScript.
The plugin consist of following parts;
The Krita Scripting Handbook contains a full reference of all objects and methods accessible from within the scripting backends.
The Handbook is generated from the sourcecode using doxygen and the doxy2doc.py Python script as postprocessor to create visible output from the by doxygen produced XML files.
Extensions are used to extend Krita with additional functionality written in Python, Ruby or KDE JavaScript scripts.
The following screenshot shows Krita running with it's on the right half displayed scripting-docker that is used to display scripts and fastly execute scripts. The image itself was created using the Random painting Ruby script.
Those extensions are also accessible from within the "Scripts"-menu and are distributed with Krita, so some default extensions are installed together with Krita as part of it, or could be later added and configured on demand using the "Script Manager".
Following sections try to provide an overview of the per default with Krita distributed scripting extensions.
The both scripts pilimport.py and pilexport.py are using the Python Imaging Library to import and export to the by PIL support image-formats.
The following screenshot shows the "Python Imaging Library Import" Python script pilimport.py once executed.
For GUI-related things you are also able to use PyQt4 or Tkinter in your python scripts, Korundum/QtRuby in your Ruby scripts, KjsEmbed4 (KjsEmbded4 is included in kdelibs4 now) in your JavaScript scripts or the more high-level Kross forms in all interpreter-backends.
Most parts of the pilimport.py Python script are related to GUI and preparation of the import-proccess. The core part of that script, so the part that does actualy do the import, looks like;
# import needed modules and initialize PIL import Krita, Image, ImageFile Image.init() # read the imagefile and convert to RGB pilimage = Image.open("/home/user/myimage.jpg") pilimage = pilimage.convert("RGB") # fetch the Krita layer we like to import to krtlayer = Krita.image().activePaintLayer() # scale the loaded image to fit pilimage = pilimage.resize( (krtlayer.width(), krtlayer.height())) # let's use the progressbar Krita.progress().setProgressTotalSteps( krtlayer.width() * krtlayer.height()) # finally do the import krtlayer.beginPainting("PIL import") it = krtlayer.createRectIterator( 0, 0, krtlayer.width(), krtlayer.height()) while (not it.isDone()): data = pilimage.getpixel((it.x(), it.y())) it.setPixel(list(data)) Krita.progress().incProgress() it.next() krtlayer.endPainting()
The pilexport.py Python script which does export a Krita image to a by the Python Imaging Library supported image-format looks then like;
# import needed modules and initialize PIL import Krita, Image, ImageFile Image.init() # fetch the Krita layer we like to export krtlayer = Krita.image().activePaintLayer() # create the PIL image pilimage = Image.new("RGB", (krtlayer.width(), krtlayer.height())) # finally do the export it = krtlayer.createRectIterator( 0, 0, krtlayer.width(), krtlayer.height()) finesh = it.isDone() while (not finesh): pilimage.putpixel( (it.x(),it.y()), tuple(it.pixel())) finesh = it.next() # and save the result pilimage.save("/home/user/myimage.jpg")
The following three sample scripts are doing the exactly the same thing, that is invert the pixel of an image, and are written code-wise the same way while different scripting backends are used. It is a nice to compare the languages and to show, that the same rich API is accessible to all of them :)

Suffering from cold in such a winter season is nothing abnormal. However it can destroy your normal activities. Sometimes just a mild cold can make you feel horrible & you get bored by having to spend time alone. The following will help you to get rid of cold & get back to your normal life.
When it's a mild cold then your body can permit you to continue your activities, however when it turns serious then you need to take some time off from your activities. As much you as you pull yourself it makes you more vulnerable. So stay back home & take some quality rest.
People believe that our hands are the prime source of cold. So you need to wash your hands with some special effort, because these germs can enter into your body through mouth or eyes or nose etc. Using a hand sanitizer after washing your hands with hand soap will be quite helpful in averting germs.

To get rid of your congested nose you can boil some water & pour a few drops of petroleum jelly or eucalyptus oil. Now for almost 10 minutes steam your face with the mixture. Unblocked nose will also help you to get a sound sleep.
To fight with cold you need to consume lot of fluids. It could be plain water or fruit juices or fruits etc. these will help you to kick off the toxins as well as bacteria from your body. Fluid is also important to keep your body completely hydrated.
Taking a hot bath is always a good option to relax your body. During cold it also helps you to get rid of your congestion.

It may surprise many that I am against the licensing of personal trainers. I hold a Ph.D. in exercise physiology, have taught at the university level and believe that one of the primary reasons more clubs don't succeed with medical referral programs is because many trainer certifications aren't seen as credible by medical professionals.
Why, then, am I against the licensing of personal trainers? I can sum it up in two words: economics and politics. Let me explain:
The number one expense for club operators of all sizes is payroll. Historically, any time a person in any industry is professionally licensed, their salary and/or wages will increase. Regardless of which employment model that management has in place for their trainers (employees, independent contractors or subcontractors), the increased cost of payroll/trainer rates will ultimately need to be factored into the overall club profitability. The operator then has three choices: reduce margins, lower the number of personal trainers in their facility (or facilities) or pass on the increased cost to members.
In the economic climate of the past 18 months, I believe that many operators will choose a combination of trimming their personal training team and passing on the built in cost of licensure to members, should it occur. With current penetration rates for personal training at an industry average of 3 percent to 5 percent per club, it is likely that increased costs will result in even fewer participants. Whether the club has just three to 10 trainers or whether they are a large chain with several thousand trainers, the increased compensation due to licensure, the reduction in personal training revenue due to fewer trainers in facilities, and the increased pricing passed onto members will have a significant impact on top and bottom line profitability. These are the fundamental realities of consumer economics.
From a political perspective, licensure will bring more government oversight, bureaucracy and regulations to our industry. We could potentially have state and/or federal agencies mandating how we manage this segment of our business. Do we really want the government "policing" our industry? Most likely, we would face additional administrative requirements with more fees associated to pay for the infrastructure necessary to support this new system. With essentially every state looking for opportunities to raise additional sources of revenue, licensure has proven an easy option.
When an industry becomes regulated and licensure occurs, it often invites professional labor organization and/or unionization. This occurred with the airline industry, contractors, dental hygienists and massage therapists. If this were to happen, club operators could incur additional expenses and be subjected to unwanted intervention of union leadership, which can become political in nature.
When you combine the economic and political implications of licensing personal trainers, the result is a model that will drive down profits and increase regulation. Ultimately, we will end up with more challenges to our industry and most likely it will result in less productivity and consumption.
That said, I am not opposed to better organization of personal trainers in our industry. I believe this can be accomplished with the current resources we have available. At present, many personal trainers have four-year degrees in exercise science, sports medicine, physical education or a related field. We also have some credible national certifying organizations that do a great job of providing personal trainers with both the academic and practical education necessary to deliver safe and sound exercise program design within the agreed upon scope of practice.
If those in favor of licensure are concerned about the safety of consumers, then we as an industry need to do everything possible to prevent injuries and litigation. If club operators hire only trainers who have credible certifications, the end goal of licensure could be accomplished by a means that would not cause the above mentioned economic impact and the added bureaucracy.

The Obama Administration has given a year or more reprieve to businesses with 50 or more workers from hefty new fines if they don't provide affordable health insurance starting in 2014 due to health reform. The penalty is $2,000 per employee.
It hasn't been a great couple of months for health reform (for more headlines across the country, see bottom).
Continue Reading Below
Now, businesses don't have to pay that penalty, called the employer mandate tax, until 2015 or beyond if they don't provide affordable coverage. The small business lobby won the reprieve because they argued health reform would cost 1.6 million jobs due to the new fine, extra paperwork and problems with the law.
But individuals still have to pay a mandate tax if they don't have affordable coverage come January 1. Having fewer companies offering affordable coverage January 1 could mean more individuals would have to pay the mandate tax, or pay for more costly coverage.
You guessed it, the government defines what's affordable coverage—the IRS is the lead agency asking you, your household and your employer about coverage versus your wages here, to determine if you owe the mandate tax. The Taxpayer Advocate has already warned Americans must now give the IRS under health reform details about their insurance plans, who is covered, the dates of coverage, insurance costs, and employer coverage. Plus, the IRS gets to share that information with state exchanges, employers, insurance companies, and others.
Taxpayers will also have to pay more to fund the state health exchanges if employers drop workers from their insurance during this one year plus reprieve, potentially sending employees towards the state health exchanges. To be sure, dozens of states haven't launched exchanges yet, but the federal government is stepping in to launch exchanges for them. Either way, taxpayer costs rise.
In all, it's not been a good time for health reform lately. FOX News analyst Mark Rigby picked up these headlines across the country:

Las Vegas Man With 100-Pound Balls Need 1 Million For Surgery!
"It sat in front of him, on top of a pillow that rested on a milk crate. He sprinkled baby powder on it -- what looked like a huge watermelon encased in a compression bandage -- but the unmistakable smell of urine couldn't be completely smothered. "Hard to believe, isn't it?" 47-year-old Wesley Warren Jr. said in the poorly lit apartment. "It's freakish." What sat in front of where Warren was seated in shorts -- what is actually attached to him -- was more than 100 pounds of scrotum, the protective sac of skin and muscle that contains his testicles. "It's not easy to get around," he said, standing and groaning as he lifted his scrotum off its makeshift pedestal and carefully let it hang almost to the floor. "It makes me stay in most of the time." If there is a more unusual medical condition afflicting someone from Southern Nevada, the medical community or patient hasn't come forward with it. Warren has gone public, even though he knows there will be those who laugh at him, because he desperately wants a costly surgery to correct the scrotal elephantiasis that became part of his life nearly three years ago." - Las Vegas Review

As mentioned in the article title, the Feng Shui advice given will focus on you and not the business or company itself. Part of the challenge in making sure you have good office Feng Shui is that we may not always personalize our surroundings as easily as we do in our home...

This feeding bowl system delivers a more effective way to feed your pet than standard dog bowls. A heavy-duty mount allows you to attach the bowl to a variety of smooth surfaces. Strong adhesive on the back of the mounting unit makes installation a breeze. The mounting unit can also be screwed in for extra support. You can customize the height of the bowl to best fit your pet. Keeping their food and water bowl elevated makes dining more comfortable for them by relieving stress on their hips, shoulders, wrists, and forearms they would normally experience when they reach down to their ground to eat. Because your pet won't have to bend down to eat, they will be less likely to spill their food, so you will have less of a mess to clean up. And by raising the bowl off the ground, you can help prevent bugs and other critters from finding their way into your pet's meal.
Once the mounting unit is installed, the bowl can be inserted and removed from the mount with ease. The bowl slides right into the mount and stays put until you release it with the quick release latch. Even if your pet were to paw and play with the bowl, it will stay secure in the mount until you release it. Pop the bowl into the dishwasher for no-hassle cleaning. The system is constructed from extra durable stainless steel and anodized aluminum, making it resistant to humidity, UV exposure, water, numerous chemicals, and extreme temperatures. This long-lasting system is sure to make mealtime more comfortable, hygienic, and convenient for years to come.
This product is also available as a double bowl, sold separately.
Other bowl sizes with adhesive mounts include:

Walking while talking or texting on your cell phone can be a distraction just as dangerous as driving while using your cell, a study finds.
We've all seen people walking down the street with their head down, fixatedly punching in a text message or email. You can even watch countless videos of people walking and talking online, completely oblivious to their surroundings. One minute they're walking down the street sending a text message, the next minute they're walking into a mailbox.
A study by Ohio State University which appears in the journal Accident Analysis and Prevention shows that injuries to pedestrians using mobile phones have more than tripled since 2005.
For cell-phone related injuries, the increase for pedestrians is parallel to that for drivers. The national estimate of injuries related to cell phone use among distracted walkers was 256 in 2005 and 1506 in 2010. For drivers, it was 585 in 2005 and 1162 in 2010. Statistics came from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission on injuries in hospital emergency rooms.
The study also finds that pedestrian injuries related to cell phones were higher for men than women, and higher for people under 31 years old.
Basically, using a cell phone while walking, even if you're just talking on it, puts users at risk of accident, injury or death. Next time you're tempted to walk and talk, remember that it can wait.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.-The Lipscomb Bisons cross country team finished second Friday in the Tennessee Tech Invitational in Cookeville.
Coach Bill Taylor described the performance as the best meet of the year for his Bisons. They finished behind Evansville in the six-team field that included Tennessee Tech, North Alabama, Carson-Newman and Tennessee State.
Taylor entered 21 runners. After the race he cut his team to 11 runners with the nine best scheduled to compete in the Atlantic Sun Conference Championships Oct. 27.
"The guys made improvements and that is what we were looking for," Taylor said. "They were very competitive.
"They were maybe a little too aggressive at the beginning, but I would rather see that. We can always adjust from that. We still have room to grow, but it was a nice step forward."
Sophomore Ryan Gadsey set the pace for the Bisons finishing fifth with a time of 27:31.60.
Freshman Daniel Gardner placed sixth (27:34.35) and freshman Jared Wingerter was seventh (27:38.97).
"We have had a different No. 1 guy in each race," Taylor said. "Ryan is getting better after starting off the season kind of slow. He has been working his way up and is quite valuable for the team.
"Jared had his best meet of the year," Taylor said. "And Daniel continues to be up in the mix."
Also finishing in the top 15 in the field of more than 60 runners were senior Ashton Fisher (10th, 28:00.61), sophomore Tate Honaker placed 11th (28:08.53), senior Ben Wright (13th, 28:20.14), freshman Fidel Leon (14th, 28:20.44) and sophomore Dan Coleman in 15th (28:21.96).

And if you're new to Lightroom, check out my Lightroom 5 Getting Started series where you will quickly learn the features and tools in each module, to make your workflow more efficient and increase your productivity.
In this Quick Tip, Julieanne demonstrates how to quickly clean up an exported catalog of any extraneous collections.
Just as an FYI – I had a great talk with the engineer who works on the Import/Export as Catalogs (after I recorded this video), and he provided an excellent synopsis on why those extra collections are there. As it so often turns out, the topic is much more complicated than my little brain imagined:
The idea is that for every single photo that is included in the export, all information related to that photo is included. Let's take for example that you have a collection of "Tree". One piece of information that is related to some of these photos is "I'm in the Tahoe collection" so the Tahoe collection appears in the collection panel, containing those photos. The Tahoe collection doesn't contain all of the photos it contained in the original catalog of course, but only the photos that were part of the source (Trees) that was selected for export.
Perhaps this behavior seems odd. We could change the behavior, but it's a dangerous, slippery slope. For example, what if the source you selected for export wasn't "Trees" or "Tahoe" but instead was a folder that contained photos, some of which appear in both Trees and Tahoe? Should neither of the collections appear in the exported catalog? I think if we start dropping information from catalog exports, we'll quickly hit scenarios where we're dropping things that customers don't actually want us to drop.
Hence, you now have a simple work around to quickly remove the collections that you don't need, while still making sure that you still have the option to see all of the information related to those photos when you do choose to export a catalog. : )
Here are links to my top 3 features in the Lightroom 5 Beta!
Upright (Automatic perspective correction) – Discover how to automatically fix common problems such as tilted horizons as well as converging verticals in buildings using Lightroom's new Upright controls for perspective correction.
The Advanced Healing Brush – Discover the new enhancements to Lightroom's advanced Healing Brush including the ability to heal and clone non-circular brush spots as well as remove easy to miss sensor dust using the new Visualization slider.
The Radial Filter – Learn how easy it is to apply any and all of Lightroom's existing local adjustments including dodging and burning, adding vignettes, selectively sharpening and more to one or more completely customizable, nondestructive, circular Radial filters – anywhere in your image.

Taselaar Delivers An Astounding Performance To Win 2009 Melges 32 Miami ACURA Grand Prix
8 March 2009
Pieter Taselaar (New York, NY) on USA-169 Bliksem with the help of tactician extraordinary Jeremy Wilmot, crew members Paul Atkins, Michael Coxon, Willem Van Waay, Alex Clegg, Nathan Wilmot and bowman George Peet delivered an impressive performance to take the title of 2009 ACURA Melges 32 Miami Grand Prix Champion! In second overall, is John Kilroy (San Francisco, Calif.) on USA-188 Samba Pa Ti. In third was Joe Woods on GBR-700 Red.
Despite the fact that Taselaar had a lead that could not necessarily be broken, it was Kilroy that perhaps had the only reasonable hope of breaking their winning spirit. That hope was crushed at the start of race one of the day when Kilroy was called over early, alongside of some others major players like Woods and Jason Carroll (New York, N.Y.) on USA-128 Argo. Upwind Kip Meadows (Rocky Mount, N.C.) on USA-77 roXanne and Geoff Pierini (Perth Amboy, N.J.) on USA-178 Shakedown stuck it out on the right, putting them in control of the fleet at the first weathermark rounding. Meadows took a hold of the lead and never let go. That was, until he crossed the finish line in first, Pierini took second and in third Marty Kullman and Mike Carroll on (Tampa, Fla.) on USA-131 New Wave in third.
The second race of the day found Kilroy struggling for the lead coming hot into the weathermark, right behind Jim Swartz (Edgartown, Mass.) on USA-007 Q in first. Ryan DeVos (Holland, Mich.) on USA-180 Alpha One rounded in third. Swartz made a winning sweep of the race, taking his lead from start to finish. Kilroy on the other hand continuously held off the likes of Peter Rogers (Lymington, UK) on GBR-121 Highlife, Alex Jackson (Riverside, Conn.) on USA-174 Leenabarca and Devos for second place. The move of the race goes to Taselaar who was considerably deep in the fleet came in from the right to take a surprising third behind Kilroy finishing in second. Meadows, also in from the right took fourth and Rogers took fifth.
A grand awards ceremony was held just after four o'clock in the afternoon where Taselaar accepted top honors in the Melges 32 fleet.
The successful partnership of Kullman and Carroll on New Wave are double, back-to-back ACURA Grand Prix Winners! Congratulations to the legendary Kullman/Carroll team who had a trivial week in Miami finishing fifth overall, won the Gold Cup back in December and scored fourth in Key West enabling them to retain the coveted title.
Special thanks to Peter Craig and his entire Premiere Racing staff, especially Alison Snipes, Mike Travato and Jeanne Kleane for an outstanding event. Additional thanks goes to Melges 32 Owner John Taylor on Ninkasi for the use of his support tender onsite in Miami. Without his passion and unwavering support for the Melges 32, and the careful hand of our driver Jim Condon, the race reports, blog and hundreds of photos would not have been possible.
Most especially, thank you to all the teams who traveled the distance to be with the fleet in Miami. Many teams traveled, some from abroad that ultimately made this event a tremendous success!
