Just watched the episode and well as far as I'm concerned it was great. Well not like most of you didn't already say that XD
I already said my oppinion about the OP so I'll skip that part. In a few words I served it's urpose almost perfectly.
There were a couple of action scenes this episode and they were all animated perfectly. Flawless animation no distortions and stuf,f great pace and of course awesome music.
I'm just wondering where is Hei getting all those knives from. I mean they're quite big and the break far easier than they used to ^^
First of all Hei didn't kill Suou's father. That was a big surpise. I'm quite sure the person who was talking was Hei. And here comes an interesting part - we actually don't know whot Shion's ability is. Last time we saw him he was with his fater. And he was talking to his sister with telepathy so he might had something to do with that. Though that's just assuming that's his father in the OP. Otherwise I'd imagine the ME scan would have told the about a faked death.
Another thing I found interesting was that Suou seems to know a lot about the ME. She also knew quite a bit about that Russian organisation that deals with contractors.
So the only MI6 agents left seem to be Shizume, Hazuki and that other girl. If we assume that August 7 is dead. He seemed quite strong and he got wiped out pretty fast. Which probably means, as Dann of Thursdaymentione, that the 3 left will be somewhat the new 3 agents poking around instead of the "Big 3" that did that before.
From that other conversation in the resturant the CIA seems to be up to something big. And Hei is working for them as well.
It seems Suou knew about her brother using her as a bait. She never said anything about no being him and she even kne ne escaped on his own. She has quite the resolve to protect her brother even if it costs her her life. I guess only the MI6 agents notice she was a girl. And of course Hei too...after some touching.
I guess it's not only me but that was Mao voice talking to Suou right? How can he talk to her? Wasn't his power only to transfer betwwen animals? Well guess we'll find out about that later.
Those flashback made me sad indeed. Hope Yin isn't dead...but from what she said - well let's just that say her dying seems a more and more realistic scenario. She was crying in the second flashback so that must mean something really huge was going on. I mean she rarely expresses her emotions on the outside. There were lots of dead people around though, they probably had something to do with that. Right at the end of the scene she seemed to have started glowing no idea what that could mean though.
Well I really hope she isn't dead because she was well maybe the only person left alive that Hei cared a lot about.
So why did those MI6 agents do that to Hei? Maybe they know he;s working for the CIA? And MI6 and CIA aren't on very frienly terms? Guess will find out more about that later. Either way it seems strange. If hte wanted they could have probably killed him at that time. So they must need him alive for some reason. Also his powers flowed into that metheor fragment Suou had. But the star faded either way. That must mean the power wasn't transfered right? I mean if someone else got that power from Hei for some reason the star would continue to shine. Another thing that caught my attention was that the star didn't fall - it just kind of disappeared. Basically that would mean that Hei will probably get his powers back at some point.
But well he got his nickname before he got his power so I'm sure we'll see a lot of action from him either way.
That scene with the kissing was funny. Maybe they're trying to bring a more relaxed atmoshpere to have a huge contrast with other events. Like the beach scene at the OP.
Hei also seems to have started drinking a lot. And his eyes seem dead - like they're blank. They don't reflect anything - almost like he gave up on life but yet something drives him forward.
Spoiler for About the preview:
The more I think about it the more it seems to me like Suou is really the new lead. We still have Hei but from what I can tell and judjing by the OP I think the story will partly revolve around the girl who gets dragged into the world of contractors - which, for those of us that have watched season one (almost everyone I guess XD) is really cruel, and loses everything during that jorney (thus the empty train and trainstation during the train ride in the OP)
Of course that doesn't mean we won't be getting an awesome story along with all that.
Haha no one will bother reading all this right ? And I could have made it even longer XD

My sister just suggested this to me and I can't believe I didn't think of it before, but could Mao possibly be in Pecha the flying squirrel? Granted, there is still the problem of how he could stay in its body without eventually losing himself, but its someting to keep in mind I think.
And I don't think that Hazuki, Shizume, and Youko are MI6 since otherwise I would think that Hazuki and Shizume would have codenames like all Contrators and Dolls in MI6 employ seem to have.

I believe Suou will fill the hole in Hei's heart that none of the women he met so far had ever succeeded.
If really Suou did absorb Hei's power into the pendant, more the reason he will have no choice but stick with her.
As for Yin, either she's dead or she's being kept hostage by the FBI for the purpose of blackmailing Hei into doing their dirtywork. I'm sure she didn't just abandon Hei.

I must say I am liking Sou as a major character, anyone who manages to take out two guys with nothing but a camera, flying squirrel, and trash can is pretty awesome in my book. Heck, it's so unusual to see a photographer as a main character in any type of story (Western novel or Eastern comic) that I'm going to be biased to like them from the start. And I can't wait to see her use that big ass gun, biggest gun I've ever seen that wasn't categorized as an actual cannon. Kinda wondering why a bunch of kids have guns like that in a secret hideout though, found them cheap after the Soviet Union collapsed I guess?
And yay for a subforum! The single thread was starting to clog up fast so I'm glad for more space.

Russia did see war right? Or maybe Nika's father was a soldier, and handed it down to him? I'm sure we'll see an 'origin' episode somewhere down along the road.
As for Suou using that BFG, I'm sure she has the skill to use it. Hunting with a rifle and taking aim with a camera seems to be her good points.

But of course, this is a fictional story and reality was tossed out of the window long ago so who knows with Suou being a good shooter.

I can see Hei helping her get to her destination, protecting her with his ninja skills while she goes to kill whoever it is she's out to get.

We have some good action in this episode. I'm pretty sure that August 7 is not dead yet, he probably used some magic trick to save his ass. I really like all the new contractors that are appearing especially lesbian ninja girl.
I wonder what happened at the end when Souo started watching Hei's memories of Yin? It seemed like she was absorbing something out of him.
I really hope that Yin is not dead and that she will appear later on.

Interesting episode, got to see two fights Not sure what the actual power of the ninja girl is. Must have something to do with light if Hei stabbed right through her. Interesting to see that they both use wires.
I guess that the magician guy can only distort space where he can see. I would think that he would be smart enough to protect himself though. I think that under that coat is someone else that he used to replace himself with. Not sure how to interpret the last scene though. Given that suou wasn't effected, it must only affect contractors. Since the source of Hei's power is Bai who seemed to be able to talk to him at least once in S1, my guess is that Bai is alive in Hei and transferred herself into the pendant so that Hei would no longer get zapped and be able to make his escape. Anyways just a theory but no real other idea of how to interpret it. If the device could steal contractor powers, then we would be seeing some sort of uber contractor or something in the future.

But I dont see him losing it permanently. However, when I think about it I see Suou becoming a contractor in a similar fashion as Hei, Either from Shion or Hei himself.
Regardless, she doesnt seem like a person that will allow herself to be a damsel in distress for a long period of time, so I am interested in her development.

Huh...the 2nd episode, and 2nd season in general, seems to be good.
OP: The song was nice, and lol at Suou carrying a PTRD-41 with her.
Episode: A bunch of new characters, two awesome fights with Hei kicking ass, and a cliffhanger ending. That's all I have to say.

I posted this in another forum, but here goes:
There's something I'm wondering about. Why is it that almost every faction (Hei and his CIA, August 7, the Russian army) thought Suou was actually her brother, Shion, but the earth golem guy (and I guess his ally the ninja girl) was the only one that knew she was a girl, even though his group also was apparently after Shion?
Even April, who had spent considerable time with Suou as Bella, couldn't distinguish her from her brother at first. So how did that one guy know? And if he did know, why did he and his group try to take the girl into custody, unlike all the other groups, who are all looking for her brother Shion and don't care at all about Suou (and would have even killed her if they found out that they had the wrong person, as Hei told her)?
Could it be shown later in the plot, or is it just a plot hole?

I love the Seahawks but you can't win if you can't score. Marshawn and the line are doing great (currently 7th in the league), but the passing thing is becoming annoying (31st in the league this week). C'mon Pete, figure something out quick. As much as I like Russell, it's just not getting done.
Seattle paid all the money to go out and grab Flynn, I say let him get a shot. At this point the only thing the pass game can do is get better. It's times like these when I miss ole Hasselbeck. I wish they would have kept him.
Also, we need to start a petition to burn those damn gray uniform pants. They look funky and they are 1-3 in them and the one win was still close against the Panthers of all teams.

Do you like dreamy indie-rock bands? Fireworks? Extremely confusing (but visually stunning) music videos?
Today is your day, friend.
New clips from Phoenix and Beach House are making the online rounds, and though we haven't really a clue what either one of them is about -- both revolve around what appear to be elaborate sporting-event spectacles -- each is a treat to behold.
First up: Phoenix's video for "Entertainment," the lovely lead single from the French band's upcoming "Bankrupt!," which is due out April 23. That's just days after Phoenix wraps up its headlining slot at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, scheduled for April 12-14 and April 19-21 at Indio's Empire Polo Club. A mysterious combination of high-gloss romance, military drama and samurai combat, the "Entertainment" clip was directed by Patrick Daughters, who also helmed the Grammy-nominated video for "1234" by Feist.
Then we've got "Wishes," from Beach House's 2012 album "Bloom," in which the great character actor Ray Wise plays some kind of football coach-turned-religious leader presiding over a high-school half-time show. This one was directed by Eric Wareheim (of the comedy duo Tim and Eric), who said in a tweet Thursday that Beach House is his favorite band and that Wise is his favorite actor. The Baltimore group is on the Coachella bill along with Phoenix; no word yet whether Wise plans to appear as well.

As with any new thing in one's life, there is a honeymoon period where everything is perfect and life is better than it has ever been. Now consider that I came to Atheism on my own and with little or no persuasion. It took me years of becoming displeased with Christian morality, or the lack there of, before I was willing to accept foreign ideas. My family and identity was so entangled with faith that I feared I would be set outside the fold. To date, I have had very mixed reactions. I first told my new friends at the West Alabama Free Thought Association. I told a couple friends who are not religious and that went well. I spoke with a very few others until later in the week. I called a very very close friend, Christian, and was surprised with his answer. He understood my points and accepted my decision. Feeling particularly proud of his acceptance I then spoke with my brother. We are very close and we talk about just about everything. I love my brother and felt he should know the truth. Honeymoon was over. I was accused of being possessed with a demon and that when I was a Christian I simply wasn't doing it right. He is now telling me to read passages within the Bible in order to reaffirm my faith. He believes that this is simply a phase of my life. Honeymoon is definitely over. Another friend threatened to punch me because my discussion of Atheism led to my liberal political views which challenge his personal views. In stark contrast I meet this amazing friend that accepts me and my flaws. Quite frankly I'm starting to meet a lot of new people who think the way I think.
This is a community that accepts me. For years I felt like an outcast, the one person that thinks differently. And it is true. Coming from such a small southern town, if you are not a red neck, you are not accepted. But there are beautiful people out there who feel like I do. Who can hold an intelligent conversation other than hunting, guns and cars/trucks.
I find that some of these people I've met are willing to not just look past the ugly parts of myself, but accept them as a part of a whole person. This week was a roller-coaster. I felt more good than not. Even though family members are shunning me. I feel loved and I am still not ashamed!
Views: 234
I consider myself lucky that friends and family have never condemned me for being atheist. As I've said before the people that feel uncomfortable with my atheism seem more afraid/confused than confrontational and stop associating with me. I believe some of their fear comes from meeting a person that is not afraid to question or point out the absurdities of their religious beliefs, maybe question or doubts they have but are afraid to ask.
Jason, I am with you. As in a divorce, you find out who your friends are. A believer's reaction to apostasy tell volumes about the believer him/herself. I hope the friends you find here wil make up for the ones who left you.
Welcome to your 'real' life, your 'truest' self Jason and this comes from another southerner raised in the bible thumpin' tradition, with a cyber hug!
I was accused of anything from consorting with the devil, to being the devil herself... sadly, mostly by family members, some of my immediate family at first were very harsh toward me, even threatening, but after years of my not changing my M.O. around them to please them and 'get along', maintaining patience and calm in discussion no matter how heated they became, my immediate family (Mother/Father/Brother/Sister) would probably kill someone over me these days if they called me a devil worshiper in earshot of them again and strangely my Mom, though still a believer in god, no longer thinks of herself or lists herself as religious on medical/legal forms, she actually lists herself as 'none' in the 'religion' column of the medical questionnaires! I'm very proud of her!
The best thing you can do for yourself down here where they're hot to quote that idiotic book at every available opportunity, is know their bible better than they do, be able to quote instances of hate, bigotry and murder in the name of god or at the behest of god right off the cuff for when they come at you spouting religion. Try to remain calm and point out how their Jesus is definitely not love, nor is he tolerant, or accepting (is it any wonder they act like mad monkeys hopped up on pcp themselves when met with things outside their comfort zone of Jebuses Love)... the guy made the disciples forsake their families telling them to 'hate' their mothers and fathers and follow him , he cursed a poor, little fig tree because it wouldn't bear fruit out of season for him and he was anything but meek, having a priest of an opposing sects ear lopped off by sword... frankly I'm not convinced he wasn't a myth himself to be honest, I think he's more of a compilation of stories about psychotic people with megalomaniacal tendencies personally! At first this approach will make them more angry with you, but when you can quote chapter and verse it does tend to get them looking trying to prove you wrong and they tend to get that egg on the face personality that rather than vocally attacking you, tends to sneer at you from the corner during the holidays, then if you're really lucky, they'll grow out of the need to try to control you.
Greets, Jason, we're glad you joined us!
The business of coming out is as varied as the people who are here, so there is no one recommended way. It depends on your own sensibility and what you think the advantages or liabilities are in coming out to any one person, as you have already seen, yourself.
Strength and self-knowledge are the ways you will get through the confrontations you're facing. You have an absolute right to who you are, and there is no reason for you to back down. Respect from your family may be hard to come by at this point, but the very fact that you came out to a known christian with no untoward result says that this issue is a long distance from fatal, something you might point out to your family. They may hear it; they may not.
But again I want to say that I'm pleased that you're here. There are many of us who will be glad to offer support and advice if you want/need it, suggestions for reading or videos to watch or just a place to be who you are without pressure or BS. Speaking for myself, anything I can do to help, give a shout, please.

ESPNU Pac-12 Logo Tournament: QuarterfinalsPosted by Connor Pelton on November 9th, 2011
One round is complete in the ESPNU Pac-12 Logo Tourney, and Colorado, Arizona State, Washington, and Washington State have all advanced to the quarterfinals. They will meet the top four seeds who received byes for the first round. So, make sure to vote for your favorite and come back on Friday to see the semifinal matchups. Here we go!
#9 Colorado vs #1 Oregon State
Connor's thoughts: I still don't get what all the fuss with the Buffalo is about, but apparently I'm in the minority there. The Beaver is awesome for the little things: The gnawed off wood that says "ESPN" on it, the buck teeth, the little pool of water it's in. ESPN really showed some creativity and effort there, so I'm taking the Beaver.
Drew's thoughts: OSU is our number one seed, and while that's a cool logo, the Buffalo looks a little more intimidating. Welcome to the Pac-12 Colorado…

This article originally appeared on BikeRadar
Van Dessel's Gin & Trombones was introduced in 2005 and remains a mainstay of the line. It's the model that helped build the Van Dessel brand – a working-class cyclo-cross race bike with excellent geometry that tips wholeheartedly towards the US style of riding. We've reviewed the Gin & Trombones before, but this latest generation version adds mounts for disc brakes.
Ride and handling: Weighty, but with almost perfect handling
We love low-slung, slack bikes, whether we're talking about full-suspension trail rigs or cyclo-crossers, so we're big fans of the 71.5° head angle and 7cm of bottom bracket drop on the Gin & Trombones. The 75° seat angle puts you over the bottom bracket, which feels good when trying to put the power down, and the forward position feels beneficial when attacking a course, especially when hard cornering or bunnyhopping are required.
The bike tracks solidly, thanks partly to the super-stiff disc-specific fork. As well as aiding steering precision, this also resists any fore-aft flex under the powerful braking provided by the disc caliper. The drawback is a harsh ride feel up front that's the polar-opposite of the smooth rear end. We swapped it out for ENVE's new disc fork for part of our test period and found this to bring the two ends of the bike together better. It suffered noticeably more fluid fore/aft flex but still tracked solidly.
The Gin & Trombones is nimble and smooth, which provides for a competent racer
n this day and age of carbon fiber, we expect bikes to have super-stiff pedaling platforms mated to smooth and comfortable rides. Aluminum bikes, however, tend to be either soft or stiff, and not an ideal combination of the two – and the Gin & Trombones is no exception. The rear end is smooth-feeling on rough terrain, and we like it that way, but this does come at the expense of pedaling stiffness.
For an alloy bike, we actually found it to resist pedaling deflection reasonably– an attribute likely helped by the shaped down tube and BB30 bottom bracket – but heavier or more powerful riders will notice the difference compared to a stiffer carbon frame. That said, when it comes to cyclo-cross, we'd rather have a bike with a soft pedaling feel but a comfortable ride than the opposite: one that's stiff but harsh.
We rode the Gin & Trombones in the mud and the dry, in hot and cold temperatures, and on slow and fast courses. When it was dry, hot and fast we noticed its 8.3kg/18.29lb (without pedals) weight and we'd have traded the disc brakes for a lighter cantilever setup. However, when it was slow, muddy and technical, we were generally as content as any Martini-and-big-band-fueled happy hour could leave us – a true compliment for a 'cross bike, we think.
The Gin & Trombones comes with Avid's BB7 mechanical disc brakes – a decade-old design that nonetheless offers great modulation
As for the disc brakes, naysayers say they're too heavy and there's no need for so much power with such small tire contact patches. We say ride them once – it's all you need to understand that it's not about power but having better control with less effort. In certain conditions, they can undoubtedly help a racer go faster. In wet and mud, we'd always pick discs. And with weights likely to come down over the next couple of years, we'll see the same rim brake die off.
Frameset: 7005 series alloy, carbon seatstays and modern design features
If you're thinking of buying a Gin & Trombones, select your size wisely – our 52cm test bike only had a 1cm shorter top tube than the 54cm size but a 1mm longer wheelbase (1,015 vs 1,014mm), a 0.5° slacker head angle and 1° steeper seat angle – both beneficial for 'cross, in our opinion.
The 1,520g frame is made from 7005 series triple-butted alloy, except for the seatstays, which are carbon fiber. There's an IS disc caliper mount attached to the CNC machined non-drive dropout but in case you want to stick with cantilevers, there are threaded post mounts and a rear housing boss for these, too.
The carbon seatstays offer additional comfort and great mud clearance
From this season forward, Van Dessel will only offer one Gin & Trombones frame, which will be accompanied by your choice of a disc-only or cantilever-only fork. The fork is a straight-bladed all-carbon affair that's quite light at 470g and plenty stiff, but also quite harsh. The post mounts on our disc-specific version are designed for a 160mm rather than 140mm rotor.
The rear end is 130mm spaced. We'd prefer to see the 135mm standard to capitalize on the wider spaced flanges and subsequent stronger wheels the extra 5mm of axle width can offer. Another benefit is the ability to use 29in mountain bike wheels on your 'cross bike, so if you've forked out for a high-end 29er wheelset you can use it all year round. Forgive us, Van Dessel, but we found that by spreading the dropouts a bit by hand we could fit 135mm wheels in just fine.
The Gin & Trombones sports two contemporary design features in the form of a tapered internal headset and BB30 bottom bracket. The seatpost diameter is just 27.2mm, which adds an additional bit of comfort, especially with a carbon post fitted. Both cable routing and mud clearance are good.
We'd have preferred to see 135mm spacing on the Gin & Trombones
Equipment: Solid workhorse, but very pricey
The Gin & Trombones frameset – frame, fork, and headset – costs $1,149. From there, the price follows your desires. Van Dessel offer just about any drivetrain components you want from Campagnolo, Shimano or SRAM. A canti-equipped bike with Shimano 105 can be had for $2,500. Our model with Avid BB7s, a high-end FSA K-Force cockpit and a SRAM Force groupset with subbed Red shifters, hit $4,299.
While the Gin & Trombones is a very strong performer, this doesn't seem like the best deal, considering there are plenty of comparably equipped (non-disc) full-carbon bikes available for considerably less. However, the spec is more than competent, with the K-Force carbon handlebar, OS99CSI stem and 25mm setback seatpost all performing flawlessly. The Selle Italia SLR saddle was a bit firm but Van Dessel offer alternatives.
Our tester came with Velocity Major Tom alloy tubular wheels. These are rather heavy at 6.7lb/3.06kg but with the right tires are a reasonable option for those who appreciate the advantage of tubulars but can't afford carbon. Van Dessel offer complete bikes without wheels as well as a range of wheelset choices, including tubular options from Velocity and both alloy and carbon models from Revolution. Tubulars come with a choice of Challenge tires – the Fango, Grifo or new Limus mud tire.
Velocity's Major Tom wheelset is heavy but still offers all of the traction and comfort benefits associated with tubulars
Price: US$4,299 (as tested)
Weight: 8.3kg
Cyclingnews verdict: 3 and a half stars

My kids make me laugh. And cry. And turn gray (what's left anyway).
They make me crazy. And fall in love everyday. It's a pretty good deal, this parenting thing. But, man it's tough.
It's not supposed to be easy, though.
Welcome to livingdad, where we will talk about what it's like to live, work, play and survive the pot-hole filled road of life with two kids asking if we are there yet.
We'll talk juggling schedules with mom and dad and kids running in a hundred directions, dealing with sick kiddos (and that hassles that causes with two working parents) and the funny things kids say and do. And what's life like with a daughter who is a miniature version of her mom, phobias and all?
But there's more to it than that. My kids are blessed; they get to see their grandparents every single day since we all live under the same roof. It's like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with extra beds and without the yummy goodness. It makes for an interesting family dynamic that occasionally ends with a series of slamming doors and a house full of people separated from the rest of the world.
It'll be fun. If it's not, you're not in the right place.
Peace out,

More than half of architecture and engineering firms see the West Coast as the action market for health care construction in 2010 reveals a recent ZweigWhite survey, whose results are being published in the company's quarterly "Market Advisor" report.
According to the health care survey, 28% of respondents are identifying the Southwest as the hottest geographic area, while 24% are pointing to the Northwest. The Northeast and the Midwest, both at 16%, also fared well. Only 4% respondents pointed to the international arena as where they see potential in 2010.
"Southern California is an active aging market," says Edward Caruana, president of c|a Architects in Long Beach, Calif. "We feel health facilities, whatever complexion they take on in the future, will be needed in this busy area."
Additional survey findings include:
- 37% of respondents are optimistic about health care being a hot market this year, but 40% are in the "wait-and-see" mode, and 23% are not touching it.
- 44% of respondents say new hospital projects will lead healthcare in 2010; a significant percentage (32%) say they will work mostly on renovations and upgrades, due to lack of funding for all-new facilities.
- 67% of respondents pointed to lack of financing as the biggest hindrance to this market in 2010.

Author Notes: Sometimes you just need an amazingly easy, delicious meal to get you through the week. This is a perfect leftover meal - you can use whatever greens you have lying around and day or two old bread makes the best breadcrumbs. It took me about 30 minutes in total (including making the breadcrumbs!) and really spiced up the regular old pasta and tomato sauce routine. - Hotplate Gourmet —Hotplate Gourmet
Food52 Review: Hotplate Gourmet made her ambitions very clear -- this linguini dish is to be a respectable weeknight dinner, something easy but good. Well, it's more than that -- we think it's terrific. Like an old Italian nonna, Hotplate Gourmet has you use the pasta water to help cook the kale and has you add breadcrumbs to the kale to fortify the pasta. You saute the breadcrumbs in oil, then add garlic and kale, and not too much of either. The garlic gently scents the kale and the greens add substance and sweetness, without making you feeling like you're eating kale for the sake of eating kale! You pull the dish together with some fresh olive oil and grated parmesan and you have a wonderful fall dinner. Next time we make this, we'll set aside the breadcrumbs after they've been toasted and add them back to the pan once the kale has been cooked. Their crunch is so great, you don't want to risk having them get soggy! - A&M —The Editors
Serves: 2-3
pound linguine
cloves garlic, minced
slices, day old bread, cubed
cup olive oil
bunch kale, chopped
cup parmesan cheese
salt & pepper
- Boil pasta according to the package in salted pot.
- Process bread in a food processor until it's about the consistency of coarse cornmeal.
- Heat ¼ c. oil in a frying pan and add the breadcrumbs. Once the breadcrumbs are slightly toasted and golden brown, add the garlic and continue to stir until well toasted.
- Add the kale to the frying pan with a little bit of the pasta water and sauté quickly.
- Toss the oil mixture with the drained pasta and add salt & pepper to taste. Add the rest of the oil as needed. Mix in parmesan and serve.

January 18, 2005
This is a course for anybody who's ever complained about a computer being slow. When faced with a computer program that takes unacceptably long to solve the problem at hand, one option is to buy faster, more expensive computer hardware. But this option has its limits: perhaps your money will run out, or perhaps you'll upgrade to the fastest computer on the market and still be unsatisfied. Often a better option is to find a more efficient approach to the problem -- to re-think the algorithm so that it makes better use of the hardware. A $1,000 personal computer running a good algorithm can often outperform a $1,000,000 supercomputer running a bad (though correct) algorithm.
In this course we'll learn how to measure the efficiency of an algorithm, independent of language, operating system, or hardware. We'll survey a variety of techniques for designing efficient algorithms. (Many of these techniques will help you program correctly even when you're not worried about efficiency.) We'll even learn how to prove that a given algorithm is "as good as it can get," in the sense that no algorithm, no matter how clever, will ever be better than this one.
This course will involve reading assignments and homework exercises from the textbook Introduction to the Design and Analysis of Algorithms, by Anany Levitin. This book is required, and you may find it a useful reference in subsequent courses and software projects. For any of you who are especially interested in this subject, I recommend a more advanced and encyclopedic book, Introduction to Algorithms by Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, Ronald L. Rivest, and Clifford Stein. I may also give out other reading assignments by email, on the Web, or in journals.
I intend to cover most of the textbook this semester, so you need to read about 40 pages per week, on average. Make time in your weekly schedule for this!
I assume that everyone in the class has passed CSC-MTH 156 (Discrete Structures) or an equivalent course covering Boolean logic and algebra, graphs and trees, and perhaps recurrence relations. I also assume that everyone in the class has passed at least a year of programming courses; I don't care about the language, as long as you have written and debugged a number of programs and are familiar with the notions of algorithm, recursion, loop, array, linked list, etc.
There will be 5 homework assignments, each worth 15% of the semester grade, and a final exam worth 25%. These will be averaged together and modified up or down by "brownie points": you earn brownie points by asking and answering good questions in class, coming to me for help when you need it, etc, and you lose brownie points by cheating, being a pain in class, etc.
Exams must be taken at the scheduled time, unless arranged in advance or prevented by a documented medical or family emergency. If you have three or more exams scheduled on the same date, or a religious holiday that conflicts with an exam or assignment due date, please notify me in writing within the first two weeks of the semester in order to receive due consideration. Exams not taken without one of the above excuses will be recorded with a grade of 0.
Homework assignments will be accepted late, with a penalty of 20% per 24 hours or portion thereof after they're due. An hour late is 20% off, 25 hours late is 40% off, etc. Any homework assignment turned in more than five days late will get a zero. Any homework assignment turned in after May 3 (the last day of class) will get a zero. (This is so I have, perhaps, time to grade them before the final exam.)
There will be several kinds of homework in this class. At one extreme are the analysis and "thought" problems on paper, resembling problems in a math class. At the other extreme are programming assignments, which may be written in any language that you and I both know and that runs at Adelphi (e.g. Scheme, Prolog, Java, C, C++). In between are pseudocode assignments: these need to be precise descriptions of an algorithm, like a computer program, but they don't need to meet the syntactic requirements of a compiler (only a human being will read them) and you can ignore details that aren't relevant to the problem at hand.
Assignments in this class are to be done either individually or in teams of two; in the latter case, you may not do multiple homeworks with the same partner. You may discuss general approaches to a problem with classmates, but you may not copy large pieces of programs or homework solutions. If you do, all the students involved will be penalized (e.g. I'll grade the assignment once and divide the points equally among the several people who turned it in).
All work on an exam must be entirely the work of the one person whose name is at the top of the page. If I have evidence that one student copied from another on an exam, both students will be penalized; see above.
This class meets every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:25 to 10:40 AM in SCI 236, except on University holidays or if I cancel class. The schedule of topics, reading assignments, and homework assignments will be maintained on my class Web page; the dates are subject to change depending on how classroom discussions actually go. I expect you to have read the reading assignments before the lecture that deals with that topic; this way I can concentrate my time on answering questions and clarifying subtle or difficult points in the textbook, rather than on reading the textbook to you, which will bore both of us. Please read ahead!

Is Qwest a takeover target?
Denver-based Qwest could "become a target of rural wireline
consolidation," according to UBS telecom analyst John Hodulik (pictured above).
"Despite its much larger size, we believe Qwest could become a takeover candidate for one of the RLECs (CenturyLink or Windstream) looking to gain scale," Hodulik wrote in a research note released today titled "A Strong Contender for 2010."
Hodulik upgraded Qwest stock from "neutral" to "buy," raising his target price from $3.80 a share to $5.50. He cites "expectations for improving revenue trends." Specifically, Hodulik believes Qwest's business and wholesale markets divisions, which account for 64 percent of the company's revenue, will improve in 2010.
Qwest stock rose 4 percent to close at $4.26 today.
Earlier this month, Piper Jaffray analyst Chris Larsen also noted that Qwest could be an acquisition target for CenturyLink.
Hodulik said any deal probably wouldn't happen until the middle of 2010 because CenturyLink (formerly CenturyTel) is still integrating its acquisition of Embarq and Windstream is still integrating a slew of transactions. He wrote:
At this point CenturyLink is integrating the Embarq properties, with the largest state to be integrated, North Carolina, just getting underway.
At the recent UBS Global Media and Communications conference, CenturyLink management indicated that it Read more…

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Latest Innovations. Subspecialty Care. Strength in Patient Follow-Up
What is chronic fatigue syndrome?
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating condition characterized by profound tiredness, regardless of bed rest. CFS symptoms may actually worsen with physical or mental activity. CFS can occur suddenly and last for years. CFS affects two to four times more females than males. The cause of CFS has not been identified, nor are there specific tests available to diagnose the condition.
CFS sometimes is called chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome.
What are the symptoms of CFS?
Symptoms of CFS often mimic the flu. The following are the most common symptoms of CFS. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
- photophobia (eye sensitivity to light)
- headache
- tender lymph nodes
- fatigue and weakness
- muscle and joint pain
- inability to concentrate
- insomnia
- ability to remember exact onset of illness
- forgetfulness
- mood swings
- confusion
- low-grade fever
- depression
The symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome may resemble other medical conditions. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
How is chronic fatigue syndrome diagnosed?
CFS diagnosis depends on two criteria:
- Severity and duration: The severe and chronic tiredness lasts for more than six months and other medical conditions have been ruled out.
- Number of symptoms: The patient has four or more of the symptoms of CFS.
A specific treatment for CFS has yet to be proven effective. Vitamin supplements and medications have some therapeutic benefit for some CFS patients, but many treatments just alleviate the symptoms of CFS.
Specific treatment for CFS will be determined by your physician based on:
- your overall health and medical history
- extent of the condition
- your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
- expectations for the course of the condition
- your opinion or preference
Treatment may include:
- medication, including anti-inflammatories, antidepressants, and others
- physical activity
- dietary supplements and herbal preparations
- psychotherapy and supportive counseling
- vitamin B12 supplements

Obama pledges more oversight of NSA surveillance
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says he'll work with Congress to change the oversight of some of the National Security Agency's controversial surveillance programs and name a new panel of outside experts to review technologies.
Obama says he wants to work with Congress to insert an opposing voice into arguments before the secret court that considers and approves massive government surveillance efforts. The court currently hears only from Justice Department officials who want the surveillance approved.
The secret court and other surveillance programs have been under scrutiny since NSA leaker Edward Snowden revealed classified programs in June. The government has defended these programs as necessary to prevent terror attacks.
Speaking to reporters, Obama says the government can and must be more transparent in how it conducts surveillance.

Make Room for Breakfast: Banquette Style
An enjoyable morning routine, even if it's just once a week on Sundays, is one of the things that makes home life sweet. And comfortable seating — the kind that invites a morning cup of coffee and paper — is motivation to make more time for it. Settling into one of these cozy breakfast banquettes would be the perfect start to a day.
I grew up in a busy home with a breakfast banquette, and have always looked back on it fondly. We could always pack in an extra guest at the table, and it was much more comfortable than the rigid seating I have in my own current home. With those fond memories in mind, I am in the process of rearranging my home in order to make room for a banquette, and have been pleasantly surprised by the number of creative DIY options out there.
If you're looking for inspiration, be sure check out the post by DIY masters, Aubrey and Lindsey, to see how they turned IKEA cabinets into their banquette (picture 2).
If you're looking for more comfortable pre-made options, check out the benches available at Ballard Designs. Or, for a more flexible option, you could simply pull a settee up to the table (picture 6).

The mission of this site is to provide an information source
for patients, families, doctors and researchers interested in
Familial Exudative Vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) as well as to
provide support for patients and families through education,
outreach and the knowledge that they are not alone.
Familial Exudative Vitreo-retinopathy, written as, "FEVR," and pronounced by doctors as, "Fever," is a an eye disease affecting the retina, found at the back of the eye, the vitreous, the clear, "gelatin like," substance inside the center of the eye and the blood vessels that feed the retina. It is a genetic disease, meaning that it occurs in one or more family members. Its severity is vary unpredictable, even within the same family and even between eyes of the same person. When it occurs in a person, it usually occurs without any symptoms and causes no eye problems. Unfortunately for some, it can cause minor to serious eye problems. In the cases where FEVR is serious, it usually shows up before the age of ten. When FEVR occurs in childhood it's severity can be extremely variable causing some vision problems to almost complete blindness at birth.
FEVR is a progressive disease, meaning that it continues to develop symptoms which can over time in some people lead to more and more serious problems but every FEVR case is different and many can slow their progression especially with medical intervention. Often when FEVR occurs in it's most aggressive form many problems can occur. The most common problem is the growth and rupture of abnormal blood vessels (vascularization) in the outer edges of the retina called the peripheral region. Blood vessel growth can occur at a rapid and continuous pace. Bleeding of these blood vessels can lead to dragging of the retina called retinal traction, and may result in scarring and/or retinal detachment due to the pulling of the retina. A common occurrence seen in FEVR retinas is blood vessel exude which shows up as milky white substance on the retina where bleeding of abnormal blood vessels occur. (see picture of exudate).
Another serious problem is the growth of thin fibrous membranes into the vitreous gel in the center of the eye. These membranes can grab the retina and cause complications such as retinal dragging, detachment and retinal tearing due to the membranes pulling on the retina.
Progression of symptoms can continue into adolescence. Much medical intervention is needed throughout this time and the closer the child is watched and treated, when necessary, the better the chances of vision being saved. Usually FEVR stops progressing around age 20 but recent evidence shows that in the more aggressive cases, defined by the development of FEVR before age 10, FEVR can start progressing again in later life after a non-symptom (asymptomatic) period so the FEVR patient needs to be seen by a retinal specialist their entire life.
Another problem a FEVR child can be born with is called a retinal fold. In these cases the retina grows abnormally before birth and falls or folds over onto itself often over the central vision causing partial blindness. If this can be caught at birth it may be possible to unfold the retina but most are not caught and the fold grows together and then it can not be treated. This can occur in one or both of the child's eyes.
Three other common problems found in FEVR patients are cataracts in the lens of the eye, the iris not dilating due to the iris sticking the lens and glaucoma. All of these problems can be treated with much success.
Scientists have shown that FEVR is found throughout the world but no scientific evidence has shown that it occurs at a higher frequency in one population over another. Scientists have shown that 85% of affected individuals can be asymptomatic, that is, showing no symptoms. Given this knowledge it is unknown whether FEVR is actually a, "Rare" disease, as it has been thought in the past. Today genetic researchers believe that it is not as rare as it has been thought, but no concrete, scientific studies have been conducted to show what percentage of the population actually has FEVR . In addition, it is known to be a complex disease with many genetic causes and is slowly being shown to be in some cases, more like a syndrome, rather than a disease since it can cause problems in other parts of the body and can occur along side other syndromes.
FEVR can occur in all three forms of genetic inheritance; 1. Recessive, 2. Dominant, and 3. x-linked,. As well as another mutation in the gene of another syndrome called Norrie disease. Both recessive and dominant FEVR can be caused by mutations in the same gene or mutations in different genes. More genes are found as time goes on by gene hunters around the world. The X-linked gene is known, and can be tested for. Some of the dominant and recessive FEVR's genetic defects can also be tested for. Your doctor can point you to a genetic expert who can help in determining if you have a known FEVR gene mutation and if they know what it may tell you about your specific FEVR.
For the United States (USA) the below genetics links may be useful resources for more information.
How can I find a genetics professional in my area? (USA) (Handbook).
Ask the Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center. (USA)
Submit your question to Ask the Geneticist (USA)
A paper outlining the some genetic research by researchers from around the world can be read by going to the web link below. It describes some of the genetic work being done to understand FEVR and recently the link between the underdevelopment of the retina and the defective development of bone cells causing low and high bone density. The FEVR with low bone density is called osteoporosispseudoglioma syndrome (OPPG) and causes mild to sever bone loss depending on where the mutation on the gene is. Again most FEVR patients do not have these gene mutations so don't panic. When looking at all this scary information keep in mind that it is estimated that 60-80% of FEVR cases don't even show any problems and do not come to the attention of an eye doctor.

In FEVR's x-linked form, it occurs only in the males of the family and most of the time is a mutation of Norrie Disease. Many times this form is caused by a mutation in the Norrie gene but there may be other genes causing this form too. A test is available to test for the Norrie Disease mutation which causes most X-linked forms of the disease. In its rarest form, recessive, it can occur with no family history.
Mutations in three genes (LRP5, FZD4, and NDP) are known to cause FEVR. "The proteins encoded by these FEVR genes form part of a signaling complex that activates the Norrin-beta-catenin signaling pathway" (ref) The full names of the first three genes are below. TSPAN12 is the latest gene to be found to cause FEVR. All of these genes are thought to cause FEVR by disrupting the cell signals required for the normal development of blood vessels in the retina at the back of the eye. (ref)
FZD4: frizzled homolog 4 (Drosophila)
LRP5: Low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5
NDP: Norrie disease (pseudoglioma)
TSPAN12: Tetraspanin
FEVR can be misdiagnosed at birth as the non-genetic eye diseases Persistent Hyperplastic Primary Vitreous (PHPV) but unlike PHPV, FEVR may continue to change the retina and other parts of the eye over time so many times it will become apparent over time whether it is PHPV or FEVR.. Many of the features of FEVR at birth also resemble Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). Whether you know which disease you have it is important to know that all the diseases should be followed by a retina specialist and more important you should know that the treatment of all the diseases are similar if not the same. Most retina specialists that see patients for all of these diseases treat all three forms of the disease. All the diseases also differ in there degree of how bad the disease is in each person and in each eye.
Genetic testing can sometimes help doctors determine whether a child has FEVR or not. See Paper – "Genetic testing for eye disease is providing vital information about complex retinal diseases, especially when used to confirm a clinician's diagnosis"
FEVR is congenital (present at birth) and bilateral (affect both eyes) although not necessarily with the same intensity. FEVR may affect one eye more than the other, may affect one child more than another and in many cases may not affect sight at all or only slightly. Its outcome for each person is thus frustratingly unknown. Careful watching by a Vitreo-retinal specialist with experience with FEVR is essential for the best outcome. Many FEVR patients also are born with retina folds in one or both eyes which cause blindness in that area of the vision. In these cases the retina does not form correctly in the womb. This condition, when present at birth, can potentially be helped but only in cases where the problem is found very early. In most cases the retina fold becomes permanent and can not be unfolded. FEVR is a progressive disease which may change and worsen throughout the entire lifetime of a FEVR patient but how much and how radical and how fast it progresses can not be predicted. In cases where it progresses, FEVR progresses commonly by bleeding in the abnormal areas of the eye which usually is the outer regions. Abnormal blood vessels break and bleed into the center region of the eye which is filled with a clear gel-like substance called the vitreous. The person can often see wavy lines which is the blood floating in the vitreous. These abnormal blood vessels in FEVR also exude a milky white substance which can be seen on the retina near blood vessels. If bleeding, a common problem, occurs, laser surgery (laser photocoagulation) may be warranted other drug treatments are being tried to treat abnormal blood vessels but it is unknown whether drug treatments help FEVR. These drug treatments are similar to the same treatments used for the eye disease macular degeneration. The blood vessel growth which usually occurs in the outer edges of the retina can also occur anywhere on the retina. Fibrous membranes are also associated with FEVR and grow into the vitreous and attach to the retina and can cause traction or detachment of the retina. A surgeon can remove the membranes with a procedure called a vitrectomy. The most important thing a FEVR parent or patient can know is to find a good doctor who knows FEVR well and sees him/her whenever changes in sight occur no matter how small.
Most cases of FEVR don't show any symptoms and never become a problem but for a minority it can be a devastating disease. With diligent and at times aggressive treatment for these people, FEVR does not have to lead to blindness. Normal to impaired sight is common in at least one eye. Sometime complete blindness occurs. The closer a patient is watched and the knowledge of the doctor about FEVR and how to treat it can affect the outcome of a person. FEVR is a lifetime disease and should always be watched closely by a trained eye retinal & vitreous specialist.
Any operation has risks and thus the potential to cause other, sometimes serious problems, so care should be taken when deciding whether to perform an operation. The benefits must always outweigh the risks. If it is possible, it can be advantages to get a second and if needed third opinion. This will give you confidence that you have done all that you can do in deciding to operate. If the retina is already detached then you must act fast to save sight. It is better to get another FEVR doctor's opinions when you are not in an emergency situation.
The FEVR patient and his or her family are encouraged to take one day at a time and if there are many operations both can benefit from some type of mental health help during their entire life. A mental health advocate can help enormously and should be incorporated into the treatment of FEVR especially if the patient is a child and it is thought that FEVR will remain active throughout their entire life. Pre and Post-Operative mental health care should be administered. FEVR does not just affect the eyes, it affects the entire person's mind and body, and should therefore be treated as such. This important fact can often be overlooked by eye specialists and the family most of the time need to seek out help themselves or bring up the subject with their doctor themselves taking a more active approach to holistic (whole body and mind) treatment. A psychiatrist, which is an M.D., (doctor), deals best with an eye doctor and has the ability to help in the hospital as well. Much trauma can occur when a whole mind and body approach is not taken. One must understand that the eye doctor has no training in mental health and thus can miss major psychological problems caused by the continued treatments of FEVR. To loose ones sight is one of the top most feared disabilities people have. How the parents and people around the legally blind person can affect how she or he see her or himself. One doctor that became a patient said, "I am wounded, not stupid so treat me with respect and equality." Many stigmata's still exist about seeking this kind of help but it may save your child's life in the end. Eye surgeons and mother's and father's can't diagnose treatable mental health issues such as post-operative depression, pre-operative anxiety or post-operative major depression from loss of sight or major surgery. You wouldn't treat your daughter or son's FEVR yourself so it isn't smart to think you can treat the emotional problems that will accompany FEVR your self. Talk to a mental health expert for that aspect of FEVR's treatment as well.

Mickey Thompson ATZ Tire TestPosted in How To: Wheels Tires on May 1, 2011
As automotive adventure journalists we drive the heck out of vehicles. In four months' time we can often drive more miles than a long haul trucker. Putting mileage like this under our rigs gives us more than enough time to evaluate a set of tires in a number of conditions. It also gives us the time to put the tires through the mother of all toughness and dependability tests.
In the Jan. '11 issue ("Suspension Checkup") we explained to you that properly maintaining your suspension will help extend the life of your tires. At that time we mounted a set of 35X12.50R/17 Mickey Thompson Baja Radial ATZs on our Ram truck and stuck to our tire maintenance program!
With some minor maintenance such as keeping proper air pressure in them and rotating the tires, the Baja ATZs held up exceptionally well over the past five months, with minimal wear. Given what we have done to the tires there's no unusual road noise from unevenly worn tread lugs, and we haven't experienced any flats, sidewall tears, punctures, or mysterious depressurization. In fact, the tires still look almost like they did the day we slapped them on the truck.

ABC Cancels '666 Park Avenue' & 'Last Resort', CBS Cancels 'Partners'
ABC has decided to cancel Freshman dramas Last Resort and 666 Park Avenue, while CBS has made the decision to end their comedy show Partners.
The ABC network chose to end Last Resort and 666 Park Avenue, despite picking up two additional scripts for both series. It has not been decided what will air in place of both series, since the network has not announced its midseason lineup yet.
The network has the comedies How to Live With Your Parents (for the Rest of Your Life) and Family Tools scheduled for midseason, while they have also picked up full-season orders for Nashville, The Neighbors, and Scandal.
CBS decided to pull the plug on Partners after the show hit a series low (1.8 18-49 rating) on Monday.
Partners was the only new comedy introduced by the network this fall. Friend Me is scheduled to come on during midseason. Though Partners was cancelled, CBS has given full-season orders to dramas Elementary and Vegas.

Is Downloading And Converting A YouTube Video To An MP3 Infringement?
from the interesting-legal-questions dept
We may get a test of whether or not that applies to the online world, with the news that former Gnutella P2P client MP3Rocket has changed strategies and ditched its P2P offering to switch to an app that simply records YouTube videos and turns them into MP3s. The company seems to be relying on the Supreme Court's Betamax ruling, by claiming that since all it's really doing is "time shifting" the ability to listen to music streamed via YouTube, it's no different than the ruling that said it was okay to record television shows via video cassettes.
Of course, RIAA supporters and the like will quickly counter by pointing to the various lawsuits over whether or not XM's recording device was legal. Most of those lawsuits ended in settlements, so I don't think there's as strong a precedent that says that turning digital streams is infringement. However, you'd have to imagine that there's going to be one hell of a lawsuit either way.
The reality is that this is yet another case of the law not being able to keep up with technology. There simply is no intellectually honest rationale that says recording songs off the radio is legal, but recording songs off your computer is illegal. It's a weak attempt by an industry that doesn't want to deal with changing technology to put in place laws that prevent what the technology allows. Those never work.
It certainly would be nice to see the Supreme Court note that something like this really is no different than the Betamax ruling, but given the Supreme Court's various bad copyright rulings over the last few years, I have little faith that it will do so. Instead, it would likely just use a case like this to chip further away at the Betamax ruling, just as the Grokster decision did.

As the Northern Hemisphere continues to warm up, natural selection will reverse a long-term trend in warm-blooded animal evolution known as Allen's Rule. Mammals that stay active in the winter tend to have thicker fur than those that hibernate, just as the plumage of seabirds is thicker than that of land birds in general.
Water is a much better conductor than air and the waterfowl that rest on the water or dive under it must be well insulated or else they would perish from hypothermia. They don't make pillow and coat stuffing out of the feathers of land birds. They use eiderdown, which is a very good insulator.
The appendages of mammals radiate body heat into the atmosphere. The longer or larger they are, the better radiators they are. The size of the ear serves as a good example. With the exception of humans, perhaps, in northern latitudes mammalian ears tend to be much smaller than those in tropical and subtropical areas. Tails are also heat radiators, that's why most mammals with tails curl up when sleeping. The closer the tail and the legs are to the body, the less the heat loss.
The furs of northern fur-bearing animals such as fishers, martins, lynxes, and minks were highly sought after by the French and English settlers in the 1600s, not just for local use, but for export to Europe. The fur trade was a very profitable industry for those seeking out livings in the New World.
Allen's Rule states that for any group of mammals, say, bears, rabbits, or squirrels, the more boreal the mammal, the shorter its ears and the shorter its tail. Polar bears have smaller ears than southern black bears; snowshoe rabbits have shorter ears than jack rabbits. Jack rabbits released on the tundra for stocking purposes would not fare well at all.
Just like the primates we stem from, humans are tailless and have comparatively small ears. Nevertheless, these small human ears radiate a lot of heat. Touch your unprotected ears on a very cold night and they can feel ice cold. Many mammals with longish ears can fold them back against the body when the going gets cold. We wear hats with flaps covering the ears for the same reason.
Another rule that applies to mammals residing more northerly than their southern look-alikes is that their bodies are more massive. Think of the polar bear and the Alaskan brown bear: They are far more massive than the black bears that range in the Smoky Mountains or southern Rockies. It seems to be a paradox. On the one hand their ears and tails are smaller, but their bodies are larger.
The larger bodies have to do with the surface area to mass ratio. The surface, or integument, of the mammal's body is responsible for most of the heat loss. That is why we insulate it on cold days with layers of fabric, sometimes in a sandwich filled with down. Rotund bodies have less surface area per unit of mass than slim ones. Take shrews for example. They're smaller than mice and their surface area to body of mass ratio is among the highest in all mammals. They lose so much heat through their integument that they have to eat four or five times their weight every day in the winter in order to keep from losing out to hypothermia.
Yes, obesity is not popularly represented in the Styles section of The New York Times, but in older times it could mean the difference between survival and loss in cold climates. All mammals in colder climates store up body fat to get through the winter, why not humans? It's a good insulator and energy source.
There is a downside to the larger bodies and smaller ears. Smaller ears don't hear as well as larger ones, especially those that are both large and can be directed toward a sound source. As the climate heats up, heat loss will not be as important. Those individuals born with larger ears and developing smaller bodies will have an advantage over their littermates. In time evolution will move in the opposite direction.
In humans it will be different. We are on the verge of making the selection ourselves with the help of genetic counselors, based on sex, I.Q., size, and other attributes. Couples that want athletes will be able to select for them, those that want girls and not boys will have girls, and vice versa. You want your son or daughter to be eligible to join Mensa? That will be possible, too. In other words, we are coming very close to being able to produce superhuman progeny. It's been done in livestock, dogs, cats, and other domestic mammals and birds for centuries.

We'll all be old men by the time Berserk is done... the Internet might not even exist in those years to come
Probably less speculation (since it's done) but I'm sure there would still be some "What If.."'s speculation topics.
...and then the five SK most powerful users (or ones with most posts) sacrifice all the other users and become the new God Hand members
What will happen when Berserk is finally finished? Will SK.net get bland and wash away, or will it stay fresh, alive and youthful?
When my time finally comes and I die... my son will take over the reigns of this account, and when his time comes, his child will take over.. and so on and so on until the story is completed.Also I got the scoop on the next episode..It goes back to Griffith's perspective and he is shown talking to the other Apostile leaders such as Grunbeld, Irvine, and Locus about his plans, he is grinning and seems to have a plan against Ganishka. Silat is also with Ganishka's group as he knows that Rakshis is near. It then goes back to Ganishka who whistled for a cab and when it came near the licens plate said fresh and had a dice in the mirror If anything I could say that this cab was rare But I thought now forget it, yo home to bel-air I pulled up to a house about seven or eight and I yelled to the cabby yo, home smell you later looked at my kingdom I was finally there to settle my throne as the prince of bel-air
How many member does Skull Net have? If any one would like to tell me.
Skull KNIGHT.net has 3,999 members currently. Couldn't you have asked one member later?! You can view them by clicking the "members list" link towards the bottom of the main forum page. It's got a Hawks banner as an icon, in case you're missing it.
Well to be fair I do have 4 accounts.... They are still legit!
That's because you keep forgetting your password, I guess. Seriously though, why 4 dude? I've been trying to keep a tight lid on multiple accounts. Which reminds me, I even got rid of accounts inactive the past 3 years a few weeks ago... So we're really sitting at around 5,000 I think.

InfoStreet Announces Small Business CRM
Tarzana, Calif. — March 18
InfoStreet Inc., creator of the fully managed, Web-based IT and productivity software suite, StreetSmart, announced Version 2 of its popular Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application. StreetSmart's CRM is aimed at small businesses, particularly those that do not wish to spend the $65 and up (per-user) price of other Web-based CRM offerings.

StreetSmart's CRM offers small businesses across all industries the tools that management and sales professionals need to track leads, customers and grow business, at a cost of approximately $10 per user.
This major rollout reflects a larger move by InfoStreet to aggressively grow the company by further supporting their niche small business clientele while also expanding into new channels, including the growing OEM side of InfoStreet.

"This optional add-on to StreetSmart was created in direct response to feedback we received from our clients who wanted CRM but didn't require the pricey and overly complex feature sets found with competing tools," explained Phil Conrad, director of national accounts at InfoStreet. "Our CRM is extremely robust, extremely affordable and, furthermore, it is designed to allow collaboration throughout the entire organization, not just amongst the sales group."

Key features of StreetSmart's small business CRM:

Anytime/anywhere access – Easily accessible from any Web browser; ideal for connecting multiple offices, remote workers, road warriors, etc.

Highly customizable – Collect and store whatever information you like about your prospects, clients and other customers. Because StreetSmart is customizable it matches the specific needs of your company.

Centralized archive – Have a central location from which to archive and review all activity related to a customer.

Sales-team responsibility – Assign a specific employee responsibility for handling a particular customer. And, as the need arises, the record can be moved from person to person, or from department to department with ease.

Shareable information – Share information with co-workers about specific customers. As activity occurs and a customer's record is updated, e-mail-based notifications can be set up to go to appropriate people within your organization.

Control access – You decide which employee has access to which information.

Manage the relationship – Actions such as Call for Follow-up, Send Literature, Send Quote or Arrange Meeting will help you manage next steps in the relationship. You can even create your own actions and receive reminders as next steps are due.

Record vital information – Ensure that important conversations or other elements of the relationship are captured and available for later access.

Unified system – Since CRM is integrated with other StreetSmart applications such as Calendar, Tasks, Files and Email, you have a totally unified system where all information is amalgamated into a single source.

Historical accuracy – Not only is information centralized and archived, but a complete historical account of record activity makes account transition between reps or departments seamless.

Opportunity knocks – Create and track business opportunities to document what the customer is specifically interested in purchasing as well as generating projected sales numbers for your organization. You can even create quotes that can be emailed or mailed to your customers.

Import your data – Easily import your current customer data.

Tony West is a successful pharmaceutical executive living in LA with his loving wife Sofia. But after a day of tense negotiations with potential buyers, Tony comes home to find his wife missing-kidnapped--and the kidnappers demand he bring $50,000 to them within 90 minutes or she's dead.
The police are not an option; the only person he can confide in is his assistant Janet. Rushing to the bank at top speed, he can only withdraw $30,000 and, desperate, he calls his boss, Edward, for help. They agree on a wire transfer.
On his way back to his house, Tony attracts the police's attention but, afraid to stop, he punches the gas and eludes them temporarily, speeding home. Calling on his neighbor, Sumner, for help, Tony manages to sneak out his back door when the police inevitably show up.
But something's not right at Tony's house: there's evidence that someone has been there since Tony left. He leaves Sumner to investigate and takes off to the drop-off point.

BOSTON — As family members called on him to surrender, a 19-year-old college student remained on the run Friday as thousands of police armed with rifles and driving armored vehicles combed the nearly deserted streets of a region on virtual lockdown.
Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of a pair of ethnic Chechen brothers who came to the United States a decade ago, has been in flight since a shootout with police in the early hours of Friday. His brother, Tamerlan, 26, was killed in the confrontation.
The FBI initially said that it believed Dzhokar Tsarnaev may be driving a green four-door Honda Civic, but canceled the alert it had issued for the car. They then issued an alert for a gray Honda.
PHOTOS: Manhunt for Boston Marathon bombing suspects
Still, Tsarnaev "should be considered armed and extremely dangerous," the FBI bulletin said.
Authorities have shut down the region's mass transit, banned much civilian aircraft from the skies, and ordered residents in Boston and nearby suburbs to stay indoors and remain vigilant.

One week after 77 died in two attacks carried out by a militant extremist in Norway, two retailers have temporarily pulled copies of World of Warcraft and several Call of Duty games from shelves, citing their ties to the accused killer's manifesto.
In a 1,500 page diary, the accused, Anders Behring Breivik, wrote that Warcraft provided a useful cover story for the time he spent in seclusion plotting his terrorist attacks. While Breivik also gave more practical advice on training with firearms, including where to acquire them, he also suggested that playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was a way to keep one's skills honed.
The retailers Coop Norway and Platekompaniet both pulled the games, characterizing it as a temporary removal. In addition to World of Warcraft and the four most recent entries in Call of Duty (Black Ops, Modern Warfare 2, World at War and Modern Warfare), the retailers also pulled Counter-Strike: Source, Homefront and Sniper: Ghost Warrior.
But another retailer, Spaceworld, refused to pull any games, saying it saw no connection between games and the tragedy. "We have never seen any research that games alone have led to such incidents," said a company representative.

The Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University will host an opening reception for "A Good Ride: Arts and Traditions of the Attica Rodeo" from 2 until 4 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 24. The exhibition, which is part of the museum's well-respected folk arts program, is on display through May 26.
In 1957, the west was big in the American imagination, abounding in movies, musicals and novels ... and in Attica, where a group of teenage boys was about to stage its first rodeo. They formed the Attica and Chaffee Rodeo Club, with more than a dozen members. Today, the renamed Attica Rodeo and Show Association continues as a non-profit, volunteer-based organization that relies on members and community volunteers - more than 100 in total - to host a professional rodeo.
In 2006, folklorists Karen Canning and Claire Aubrey began a project to document the Attica Rodeo, its history and performances, as well as the experiences of its founders and participants. The results of their fine efforts, "A Good Ride: Arts and Traditions of the Attica Rodeo," explores the rich aesthetic traditions, talents, stories and material culture of this local community.
The museum has planned additional programming related to "A Good Ride: Arts and Traditions of the Attica Rodeo."
On Thursday, Feb. 28, from 10 a.m. to noon, Canning will give a talk on "Sold to the boys in the white t-shirts!" Canning's talk is part of the museum's "Meet Me at the CAM" members film/lecture. series. Admission is free, but museum membership is required to attend. Call Susan Clements at 716-286-8201 for more information.
On Friday, April 26, from 7 to 11 p.m., the museum will host "A Night of Country Line and Couples Dancing" led by Bev Randall of Buffalo's Club Infinity. Light snacks and a cash bar will be provided. Admission is $5/free for museum members.
This exhibition is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. For more information, contact Carrie Hertz, curator of folk arts, at 716-286-8290.

Assignment 18-1
So far we have seen that everything in the Universe is structured and organized, from the moons which orbit the planets, to the Solar System itself where everything orbits the Sun. The force responsible for this organization is gravity.
The power of gravity causes matter to attract, pulling together into stars, worlds, and planetary systems. Once we leave the Solar System, does this complex organization end? No, it does not. This same gravity that makes the Solar System's worlds orbit the Sun, causes billions of stars to clump together orbiting in giant circles around a common center. These collections of stars and gas are called galaxies.
Think of a galaxy as a giant Solar System. Instead of planets circling a sun, there are stars and dust clouds circling the center. In the Solar System the Sun's strong gravity holds onto the planets. It can do this because it is much bigger than the planets are. What do you think might be in the center of a galaxy that could be big enough to hold onto all the stars?
The answer is a very complicated one. At the center of most galaxies we find two important things that hold onto the galaxies' stars. Firstly, there are many, many stars packed in tightly. If you look at a picture of a galaxy, often the center glows very brightly. This is caused by the glow of so many stars so close together. Secondly, most galaxies also have what is called a supermassive black hole in their centers. These black holes can contain as much matter as a billion stars, but all of that matter is squished up into a space smaller than a pinhead.
Assignment # 1:
In your own words, describe to me what you think a galaxy is.
Check your answer
A galaxy is a group of stars, gas, and dust, held together by gravity.

As I work my way through my surname list I have come to the name Gulyban and its various spellings. The Gulyban line I am researching originated in the county of Borsod, Hungary.
It is from Northeastern Hungary. Ellis Island records show 45 Gulyban arrivals between 1893 and 1923. There are many more when "creative" spelling is used for searching. The 1920 federal census lists 54 Gulybans born in Hungary. Again this does not include alternative spellings such as Gooban.
Wikipedia provides the following information: Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén (Hungarian pronunciation: [borʃod ɒbɒuːj zɛmpleːn]) is the name of an administrative county (comitatus or megye) in north-eastern Hungary (commonly called "Northern Hungary"), on the border with Slovakia. It shares borders with the Hungarian counties Nógrád, Heves, Hajdú-Bihar and Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg. The capital of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county is Miskolc. Of the seven statistical regions of Hungary it belongs to the region Northern Hungary. Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén is the second largest county of Hungary both by area (after Bács-Kiskun) and by population (after Pest County). 40% of the land is arable. Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén is one of the most geographically diverse areas of Hungary. It lies where the Northern Mountains meet the Great Hungarian Plain, thus the northern parts of the county are mountainous – with some of the highest peaks and deepest caves in the country –, the southern parts are flat.
Augustinus Gulyban, my immigrant, came to the United States in 1905 at the age of 15. As many others had, he went to stay with friends or relatives until he got his feet under him. He settled in eastern Ohio like many Hungarian immigrants and worked in the coal mines. Gus, as he was also known, enlisted in the US Army in 1917 only to be rejected 3 months later as an enemy alien. Gus was naturalized in 1918.
