Leopard Sharpens its Claws
Just 48 hours before a record breaking fleet sets sail for the 5th RORC Caribbean 600, weather forecasts are unanimously predicting sensational conditions, ideal for record-breaking pace, and there is every possibility that this will be the fastest RORC Caribbean 600 on record.
20 knots or more of warm trade winds are anticipated for the start, with the wind and the Caribbean swell building during the course of the race, perhaps piping up to 30 knots on day two.
Mike Slade's canting keel Maxi, ICAP Leopard, is the out-and-out favourite to scorch around the 600-mile course to take the first gun. Navigator Hugh Agnew has been keeping a close eye on the weather forecast for several days. In the meantime, the shore crew have been hard at work, meticulously preparing the boat for the wild ride to come.
"At the moment, the forecasts seem to be quite stable," commented Agnew. "We can expect 20-26 knots of easterly wind, maybe slightly to the south of due east for the duration of our race. The longest leg of the course is from St.Barths to Guadeloupe and with this wind direction, coupled with the apparent wind created by Leopard, it will be forward of the beam, so we will be unlikely to fly a spinnaker. This will slow us down, but the other side of the coin is that this wind direction may be beneficial on a crucial part of the course - the south side of Guadeloupe. If we get a one-sided beat, requiring few tacks, this could really work in our favour. It is a long beat between Guadeloupe and Marie-Galante and in my view the race for a record could be won or lost there."
Leopard held the RORC Caribbean 600 course record for two years, however George David's Rambler 100 eclipsed that in 2011, setting a benchmark of 40 hours 20 minutes and 2 seconds.
Dockside in Antigua, Leopard's skipper Chris Sherlock was keeping his cards close to his chest but he admitted that there was a possibility of winning back the record. Something Leopard's owner, Mike Slade, has set his heart on.
"Our routing software is showing 40 hours at the moment, so there is not much fat on it, but we have a chance," hinted Sherlock. "There are three things that will stop us from breaking the record. Firstly if we go the wrong way and get out of big breeze, the other factors are maintaining the yacht and boat handling; just one bad furl on a sail can cost us 15 minutes and breakages can put and end to it totally."
"In my opinion, our time could be half an hour either side of the record, we will just have to see how it pans out. Record or no record this looks like it will be a fantastic race with awesome conditions. Every time we do this '600, we learn more. Even when we are out on charter, we often sneak a look at a part of the race track, we have a lot of knowledge of what goes on behind those islands. Leopard is in great shape, we have a very capable crew and it would top off a great season if we got our record back."
The RORC Caribbean 600 programme starts in earnest today with the Skippers' Briefing followed by the official opening party. It will be standing room only for invited guests, jam-packed shoreside at Antigua Yacht Club. Owners and their crew are set to enjoy a Caribbean drinks party and canapés accompanied by a traditional steel band. RORC Commodore, Mike Greville, competing in the race for the second time with CM60, Venomous, will open the proceedings.
The 5th RORC Caribbean 600 will start at 1100 local time (1500 GMT) on Monday 18th February.

So I've been thinking about the Epic Screamer for this season. I'll ignore all the internet hype about the kite as I do with all kites but there is one real question that I can't work out. Why the hell would I want to buy last years kite for this years price when there is already a new Screamer model, the 4G 10m LTD (which is obviously better than last because otherwise what's the point in bringing out a new one). We are told that the 10m LTD is the "concept kite for the next iteration of the Screamers" (I'm assuming ireration means edition) so in buying a new 4G Screamer I actually just buying a Screamer 3G 10m LTD resized and renamed as a 4G Screamer.
If the 4G Screamer LTD is good enough to sell customers at full price then why would Epic not make the whole line up the same? As far as I can work out you're either buying the 4G Screamer LTD which is a prototype for next years kites or you're buying the 4G Screamer at full price but it's actually last years model.
Either way it seems like at best a marketing trick or at worst a con.

MIT closed its season with an 18-0 blanking of Newbury College. The Engineers posted season-high marks in runs, hits (11), RBI (10), and walks (7).
Representing the Cardinal and Silver on the NEWMAC All-Academic Team were graduate-student Darcy Kelly, seniors Erin Hult and Rebecca Maglathlin, juniors Brittany Adamson and Carly Saylor, and sophomores Austin Zimmerman and Cheryl Texin.
Tech set an Institute record in at-bats in a season with 667. It also tied the records for doubles in a season (22) and homeruns in a game (two versus Middlebury).
Individually, Cheryl Texin set a new mark for doubles in a season, tallying seven. Erin Hult's 76 at-bats also established a new school record.

Sao Paulo, Nov 12: Fluminense won its second Brazilian title in three years by beating Palmeiras 3-2 after a pair of goals by league-leading scorer Fred on Sunday.
The striker scored an 88th-minute winner to give Fluminense the victory and its fourth national title, adding to triumphs in 2010, 1984 and 1970.
Ronaldinho's Atletico Mineiro could have kept Fluminense from celebrating on Sunday but it only managed a 1-1 draw at Vasco da Gama.
The title was clinched with three rounds left, and Fluminense has a chance to break the record of points by a champion after the league began being played with 20 teams in 38 rounds in 2006. Sao Paulo reached 78 points then, and Fluminense currently has 76.
"We fought hard from the start and everyone made a lot of sacrifices for this," Fred said. "It's great to see this group winning this title after giving all we had from the first match. This is well-deserved, there is no doubt about it."
Fluminense lifted the trophy after 22 wins, 10 draws and only three losses -- to Gremio, Atletico Mineiro and already relegated Atletico Goianiense.
"There is not a lot people who can criticize our team after a campaign like this," said Fluminense coach Abel Braga, who won his first Brazilian league title.
The Fluminense squad also includes former Chelsea playmaker Deco, Brazil midfielder Thiago Neves, Colombia striker Edwin Valencia, former Real Betis forward Rafael Sobis and former reserve Liverpool goalkeeper Diego Cavalieri.
Atletico was seeking its first championship since 1971, and Ronaldinho was looking for its first ever Brazilian league title.
The team dropped to third place in the standings after Gremio came from behind to defeat Sao Paulo 2-1 thanks to a late winner by Bolivia striker Marcelo Moreno, securing Vanderlei Luxemburgo's team in the Copa Libertadores next season.
The loss to Fluminense left eight-time champion Palmeiras closer to its second demotion in 10 years.
It will have to erase a seven-point deficit to the first team out of relegation zone.
Palmeiras overcame a two-goal deficit in the second half on Sunday, but Fred sealed Fluminense's victory with his 19th goal after a shot from near the penalty spot following a cross from midfielder Jean. Fred has three goals more than Sao Paulo's Luis Fabiano.
"Everybody needs to be congratulated, this is the most united group that I've ever played with," said the 29-year-old striker, who played for Brazil at the 2006 World Cup.
Fred opened the scoring in Presidente Prudente with a goal in first-half injury time.
Palmeiras goalkeeper Bruno couldn't hold on to a close-range shot by Fluminense forward Wellington Nem, and Fred took advantage of the rebound to drive the ball into the net.
Fred, who had struck the post with a header just a few minutes earlier, also started the play that gave Fluminense its second goal in the 54th, hitting the cross that Palmeiras defender Mauricio Ramos directed into his own net while trying to clear the ball inside the area.
Argentina striker Hernan Barcos pulled Palmeiras closer in the 61st -- scoring his 14th league goal and 28th of the season -- and midfielder Patrick Vieira equalized in the 65th. But Fred's goal in a late breakaway ended the team's chances for a comeback.
The result is expected to further increase pressure on Palmeiras' players and club directors, who during the week received serious threats from some of the team's fan groups.
With Fluminense's victory, Atletico Mineiro's only chance to keep its title hopes alive was to beat Vasco da Gama, which was coming off six straight losses.
Ronaldinho converted a 27th-minutex penalty kick after a controversial foul from defender Douglas on Argentine midfielder Damian Escudero, but Vasco da Gama equalized at its Sao Januario Stadium in Rio de Janeiro with striker's Alecsandro shot from close range in the 56th.
Atletico played a man down from the 41st after midfielder Serginho was sent off with a second yellow card. Vasco da Gama lost Douglas with a second yellow in the 83rd.
Ronaldinho was seeking his first Brazilian league title after spending a decade in Europe. He returned to Brazilian football in the beginning of 2011 and transferred from Flamengo to Atletico earlier this year.
"Unfortunately the title is out of reach," Ronaldinho said. "All we can do now is focus on finishing well."
Only the top two teams will automatically guarantee a spot in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores next season.
The third- and fourth-place clubs will have to play in the preliminary stages.
Gremio moved past Atletico in the 20-team standings after Moreno's 85th-minute winner at the Olimpico Stadium in Porto Alegre.
Sao Paulo goalkeeper Rogerio Ceni had converted a 44th-minute penalty kick to open the scoring, and striker Andres Lima equalized for Gremio with a shot from the top of the area in the 61st.
On Saturday, Botafogo -- without injured Dutch midfielder Clarence Seedorf -- routed Portuguesa 3-0 at the Engenhao stadium in Rio, moving to within five points of fourth-place Sao Paulo.
Also Saturday, defending champion Corinthians, focused on the Club World Cup in December, routed Coritiba 5-1 at the Pacaembu Stadium.
Figueirense became the second team to be relegated after a 1-1 home draw against Sport, which remains in relegation zone three points from safety. The bottom four clubs will be demoted.
Bahia the first team out of the relegation zone, lost 3-1 to Cruzeiro in Belo Horizonte in a match in which Argentine striker Alejandro Martinuccio scored two goals.

In an anecdote that sticks to the memory like an overdone cookie on an undergreased cookie sheet — those 2011 holiday baking mishaps still rankle — an American visiting the Sorbonne is accosted by a French student.
"You Americans!" the Frenchwoman says disdainfully. "You read all the time. You act as if there's something magical about reading!"
The American smiles and replies, "No, there's nothing magical about reading." She adds, "The magic is in rereading."
And so it is.

The bottom line numbers from last week's special Town Meeting in Somerset are worrisome and require the attention of Somerset officials, particularly Town Moderator Lucia Casey.
The bottom line numbers from last week's special Town Meeting in Somerset are worrisome and require the attention of Somerset officials, particularly Town Moderator Lucia Casey.
According to The Herald News' report on the meeting, just 585 Somerset voters (about 4 percent of those registered) attended the meeting that took nearly four hours to resolve 21 warrant items (some of which were postponed). Speaking from the floor was dominated by just three people.
In my view, those numbers do not serve the cause of democracy. Too few voters sat too long and too late to listen to discussion dominated by too few.
Nearly half the meeting was devoted to the proposal to create an appointed treasurer-tax collector position. That was decided in the affirmative by a tedious secret ballot that took too long to conduct.
This record bodes ill for future town meetings in Somerset which are likely to feature even longer agendas with even more contentious issues. Somerset has only just begun to cut back on spending. The town meeting is an inherently unruly form of pure democracy that could easily topple into chaos unless corralled.
This is not the fault of Casey, but it is her problem to help manage. Her goal should be to encourage more town voters to participate in town affairs by ensuring that their investment of time will be well spent. Our system is built on the principle of majority rule, not minority rule.
I am not personally acquainted with her, but I have been impressed with the presence Casey projects at the podium. She begins the meetings promptly, tries to keep speakers on topic and acts with apparent impartiality.
She does well with a difficult job, but the cause of good governance demands that she do better. Town meeting procedures need changes; if not by new bylaws, then by Casey exercising her bully pulpit prerogatives as moderator.
— Time limits need to be set in advance and uniformly enforced on speakers from the floor. Two or three minutes seems fair. A big clock could be used to monitor every speaker's allotted time and encourage them to make their point and then give someone else a turn.
— Diversions into posturing and politicking should be quickly cut off. Any sentence that begins with "I remember when..." is a tip off that the speaker is about to stray off the point into a trip down selective memory lane.
— Strict avoidance of proper names in favor of job position will mitigate the inevitable need for the named public official to respond to their accuser.
— No speaker should be allowed a second turn on a topic until all others who want to speak get their turn at the podium.
— Secret ballots should be a last-resort measure reserved for only the closest and most contentious issues because the balloting takes too long and is too cumbersome to manage at an open meeting. At the very least, secret ballot voting should first require an affirmative vote of the body by standing vote.
— If an issue seems inappropriate for resolution by voice or standing votes then it probably is a matter better resolved at a referendum election than at a town meeting. Elections are set up to guarantee ballot secrecy; town meetings are set up to guarantee opportunity of debate. It's hard to have both interests served in the same forum.
— Town meetings should start earlier and adjourn sooner. Why not a 6 or 6:30 p.m. start, with an announced aim of adjourning at, say, 9 or 9:30 p.m., if not before? Three hours seems to me to be the practical limit of endurance for most voters.
— Meeting agendas should be arranged for greatest efficiency and voter participation. The meeting might start with a few non-controversial housekeeping items to allow for late-comers to arrive, then get into the meatiest items and end with less controversial ones. Like items should be ganged together in consolidated items, or at least grouped together.

Luke Bryan Falls Onstage in Greensboro [VIDEO]
For Luke Bryan, the show must go on, even if he happens to fall down while on stage.
The singer was performing in Greensboro, N.C. on Monday (Feb. 17) as part of his That's My Kind of Night Tour, when he took a nasty spill. Bryan was walking on a catwalk from one stage to another, when he missed a step and landed on his side.
Thankfully, the 'Drink a Beer' singer wasn't injured. Ever the performer, Bryan made a big show of the fall, before running back down the catwalk for his Red Solo cup, which he took a big swig from and then threw into the excited crowd.
Bryan, who sold out every show of last year's Dirt Road Diaries Tour, is off to a great start with his That's My Kind of Night trek as well. He sold out one show at New York City's Madison Square Garden in a record five minutes, prompting him to add a second show in the famed venue later this year. The Georgia native is also playing back-to-back shows in select cities, including Washington, D.C., Raleigh, N.C., and Atlanta, among others.
"It's a testament to the fans and the relationship and the years of coming there, to get to do two nights," he says. "It's fun rolling in and doing a show, going and riding around the city, eating some of the local fare, and not another bus ride. We can sit back and enjoy and be rested and be ready for a second show. It's gonna be great."
Bryan's current tour, which includes Lee Brice and Cole Swindell as his opening acts, continues this weekend with a stop in Lexington, Ky. See all of his upcoming shows here.

So what drives the decision to split or not to split the burden resistor on a current transformer when using a differential ADC like the MCP3911 or the AD7753?
I presume that the common mode issue may also explain why Analog attaches Neutral directly to one of their ADC inputs (see p. 5 of the application note for the AD7753 (http://www.analog.com/static/imported-files/eval_boards/ADE7753_EvalBoard.pdf)) for the purpose of line voltage measurements. Another explanation is the benefit of fewer drop resistors being required...
My voltage sensing is done through a tiny transformer. Do you reckon that I should ground one of its outputs per the Analog recommendation and then use the (much smaller) drop-down resistors for the input signal? Currently, I have two parallel paths to the analog inputs, both featuring a 36k resistor in series and a RC filter (1k and 100nF). The analog application note suggests dropping the second line and just keeping the two RC networks. Interesting!
Another option could be to use a transformer with a center tap on the secondary for analog ground. Then run two lines to the ADC as before, but this time with 2x resistance since the output voltage effectively doubled (2x6V vs. 1x6V output).
I'll measure the primary resistance on the transformer and try your suggestion. That will require a higher-voltage resistor like a 1W flameproof model, right?

- A: A wind generator and solar panels were installed on the traffic signal at 84th and Highway 2 in December 2010 to produce electricity to power traffic infrastructure. The goal is for the installations to produce more energy than the traffic signal consumes.
- Q: How much power can the wind turbine generate?
- A: At a peak windspeed of 29 mph the wind generator can produce 1300 watts of power. If the wind speed rises above 29 mph the wind generator automatically turns, or "furls," its blades away from the wind to prevent damage. Unfortunately, this "furling" also reduces the power produced by the wind turbine.
- Q: How much power can the solar panels generate?
- A: Each solar panel is rated at 210 watts, so the total theoretical power production from the two panels is 420 watts. Due to the angle of the sun, clouds, dust and many other atmospheric considerations, the output of the solar panels is significantly less, and of course, no power is produced at night.
- Q: How much power does the intersection use?
- A: On an average day the intersection draws approximately 450 watts.
- Q: What is the maximum wind speed the wind turbine can withstand?
- A: The wind turbine is rated for a maximum wind speed of 120 mph.
- Q: What happens if more power is produced than the intersection needs?
- A: In the event that the wind turbine produces more power than the intersection needs, any excess power is sold back to the grid causing the power meter to "run backward."
- Q: Who is involved in the study?
- A: The study is a joint project between the City of Lincoln, the University of Nebraska Transportation Center, and the University of Nebraska Electrical Engineering Department.

1998 Chevy Tahoe Tune-Up: Super Suspension UpgradesPosted in How To: Suspension Brakes on January 1, 2011
Our friend's '98 two-door Tahoe, affectionately known as Princess, had been sitting derelict in her driveway near our office for over a year. Our friend had gotten a newer four-door for daily driving and wanted to keep the '98 for weekend adventures. She asked us how best to spruce up the white truck, and we figured it would be perfect for a simple lift and tire rehash.
As one of the last fullsize two-door SUVs, this Tahoe is sort of rare, but it's also a great vehicle for backwoods weekends, beach cruising, and hauling stuff for home projects. We headed over to the 4Wheel Parts Performance Center in Redondo Beach, California, for a two-day spa treatment like no other.
Rehash Worth It?
Taking an old truck like this to 4Wheel Parts for a lift and tires will cost you around $4,500, including nearly $1,000 in labor. But what did we gain? The frame ground clearance went up about 61/2 inches from the same truck on 31-inch rubber without a lift. The ride is noticeably different, with some very soft steering, meaning we'll probably need to address old steering components soon. Worry about vibration seems unfounded with our truck, but could be addressed with a CV front driveshaft if it arises later. Princess definitely looks more adventurous. The shiny new shoes and taller, more respectable stance make her ready to explore lands beyond the castle.

Everyone has had to grapple, eventually, with the stark realization that he or she will one day die. It's what makes our short human lives so precious -- and what drives so many to seek out ways to cheat death and live on. That's what lies at the heart of this week's episode of "Cosmos," appropriately called "The Immortals."
Five thousand years ago, in ancient Sumeria (what is now Iraq), an Akkadian princess and high priestess named Enheduana composed what many historians believe are the first signed poems, preserved on inscribed clay tablets, ensuring that she is one of the few women in early history whose name is known to us. Enheduana achieved a kind of immortality; her words extended well beyond her death. I suppose that's comfort of a sort.
Speaking of ancient epic myths, perhaps you've read the tale of Gilgamesh, another early written work, in which the titular king of Uruk is devastated when his BFF, Enkidu, is put to death. Gilgamesh embarks on a quest to uncover the secret of immortality -- the very first voyage of the hero that forms the mythic root of today's superheroes. Along the way, Gilgamesh encounters the story of a great flood and the building of an ark to ensure life survives the deluge.
So, why, exactly, are we going on about Noah's flood and ancient Mesopotamian literature on "Cosmos?" Host Neil deGrasse Tyson assures us that life also passes on its stories through subsequent generations. Our stories are written in our DNA, passed on through generations over billions of years, thereby achieving another kind of immortality.
As Tyson intones, "Life propagates by retelling its story." Cut to an image of a dandelion dispersing its spores, "each seedling is a little paratrooper floating on the wind," looking for fecund soil in which to take root, thereby ensuring the survival of its species -- much like an ark.
We don't actually know the origin of life; scientific hypotheses vary. Life -- in the form of bacteria or similar microbial forms -- may have begun in a shallow pool of water, warmed by the sun. Perhaps it arose in the hydrothermal volcanic vents along the ocean floor. Or maybe, just maybe, it came from outer space, hitching a ride on a meteorite.
That last alternative is technically known as "panspermia" -- the notion that much like the dandelion spores, life spreads itself across the universe, not just across the Earth. That brings us to the village of Nakhla, Egypt, where a meteorite crashed in June 1911. (Legend has it that the meteorite vaporized a dog when it hit, but it's probably not true. Probably.)
The Nakhla fragments turned out to be more than curious collectors' items. Scientific analysis about 70 years later revealed that the chemical composition was strikingly similar to the atmosphere of Mars, per data collected by NASA's Viking spacecraft in the 1970s. It's possible that when an asteroid hit the Red Planet and blasted out a huge crater, a bunch of debris was flung into space, eventually finding its way to Earth. It's also possible that buried within those rocks were the seeds of microbial life, which lay dormant for the journey through space before reviving under the amicable conditions on Earth.
So, if space debris can shuttle hardy microbes between planets, and possibly even solar systems, that means life should be abundant throughout the universe. Where are these other life forms? We've certainly tried to contact them, sending radio messages -- including our radio and TV broadcasts -- out into space. Maybe the aliens' lack a sense of humor decided to give our planet a pass based on our fondness for "I Love Lucy" and "The Honeymooners."
Chances are, it's a matter of timing. The universe is incredibly vast, and even powerful civilizations such as ancient Sumeria -- beset by a great drought that lasted 200 years -- and the Roman Empire eventually crumble and fall. It would take time for our "messages" to propagate, and the odds are slim of them reaching, at just the right time, an alien civilization sufficiently advanced to detect them -- assuming the aliens are even scanning the radio spectrum, as opposed to, say, looking for messages encoded in neutrinos. (I kid you not, this is totally a thing.)
And now "Cosmos" veers waaaay off course with a preachy segment on climate change and how we could be destroying ourselves by not seeking sustainability. According to Tyson, our intelligence is the tool for our survival, assuming we have the will to apply it. Yes, that is true. And I'm sympathetic to the message, but honestly, it really doesn't fit well here.
After several wonderful narrative- and character-driven episodes, it's a bit of a letdown to have the series lapse back into the tenuous connections and aimless wandering of earlier episodes. "The Immortals" talks a lot about the power of story; too bad it doesn't heed its own counsel in this case.

Taking The Books-On-Demand Business Quite Literally
from the now-that's-one-long-tail dept
In the meantime, if anyone has more info on Parker or Icon Group, and how it deals with copyright issues, I'd be curious to know more. Parker has a video on YouTube which (by title) suggests he has a patent on this whole process (a quick search turns up this patent on a method and apparatus for automated authoring and marketing as the likely patent). The video makes a bunch of claims, but does little to explain how any of this is actually done. Actually, you could say the same thing for the patent itself. It makes a bunch of extremely broad claims, that don't actually do anything to explain how it actually works (which, we had thought, was part of the requirement in getting a patent).

MySpace, Facebook and other social-networking sites aren't just slugging it out for customers in the USA.
They're expanding aggressively overseas, where a vast majority of Internet users live.
Most are targeting Asia and Europe, both of which have more users of social networks than the USA, and are growing at faster rates, according to data from market researcher ComScore Media Metrix. Some are launching new sites, others are offering translation applications, and some are acquiring sites that are popular in specific countries, such as Russia.
About 80% of the world's estimated 1.2 billion Internet users are outside the USA, according to Computer Industry Almanac. Half the $40 billion online advertising market is non-U.S., says eMarketer.
"It's a land grab, as well as a form of insurance in case the U.S. market proves itself to be fickle," says Marissa Gluck, an analyst at Radar Research. "When you look at Internet use globally, the U.S. is a small but significant chunk. It's also beginning to plateau in terms of growth."
Facebook has developed an application to translate words on the site from English into other languages. On Thursday, Facebook said a Spanish translation is available. Anyone who wants to view Facebook in Spanish can change their language preference from their account settings. German and French versions are expected in coming weeks.
"Unlike other companies, we are not launching separate sites for different countries," says Matt Cohler, vice president of strategy at Facebook. "This is driven by local users."
In September 2006, 7% of Facebook's 10 million active users were outside the USA. Today, 60% of its 63 million active users are.
This year, MySpace is opening operations in Russia, Turkey, Poland and Portugal, among others. It opened its first office overseas, in London, in May 2006. It's in nine of the top 10 Internet markets. The 10th, South Korea, could soon be next.
"We see a surge of growth overseas, and more potential users than the U.S.," says Travis Katz, managing director of MySpace's international operations in 25 countries. About 45% of MySpace's 110 million members are outside the USA; a year ago, it was 15%.
This month, LinkedIn, the popular networking site for professionals, opened its first office outside the USA, in London. It expects to double its customer base in the U.K. to 2 million this year.
"We are living in a global economy, and all of these economies are interconnected," says Dan Nye, CEO of LinkedIn. Half its 18 million members are outside the USA.
Yet the international market is no slam dunk.
Some social-networking sites, such as Hi5, decided to establish themselves overseas first and let others slug it out in the USA. And many countries have home-grown social-networking sites, such as Mixi in Japan and Skyrock in France, Gluck says.
"When we launched in late 2003, we saw the opportunity for more rapid growth outside the U.S.," says Ramu Yalamanchi, founder and CEO of Hi5, which has 70 million registered members in more than 200 countries. "We tailored our sites — be it the use of color, localized ads or design — to meet the unique interests of each country," he says.
Russian media company SUP has parlayed the purchase of a San Francisco Bay Area blogging service into its status as the leading social-networking player in Russia.
The December acquisition of LiveJournal, a business partner of SUP's, for an undisclosed sum, has established SUP as the fourth-largest website in Russia. CEO Andrew Paulson says it is poised to follow the same strategy in other countries where there are no clear leaders in the social-networking market.
"We're building media properties around the world through social-networking services," Paulson says.
International markets also are appealing to social-networking sites that fizzled in the USA. Google-owned Orkut has a strong beachhead in Brazil, "and Friendster was given a second chance in (Southeast) Asia," analyst Gluck says.


text: Wednesday, November 02, 2011 PT Named First Female Head Athletic Trainer in Major Sports APTA member Sue Falsone, PT, MS, SCS, ATC, on Monday was named the head trainer and physical therapist (PT) for the Los Angeles Dodgers, the first female head athletic trainer in the history of major professional sports, according to a Major League Baseball article. Falsone became the first female PT in the Major Leagues when she was hired by the Dodgers in 2007 and worked in that role through the 2010 season. In addition to her new responsibilities, she will continue with Athletes' Performance (AP) as vice president of performance physical therapy and team sports and spearhead a new partnership between the Dodgers and AP to build a comprehensive physical development program for all levels of the organization.

text: Hello. I have a ISPConfig (126.96.36.199) cluster (2 webservers + database server) running red hat 6. I have around 150 websites configured and today I realized that I have problems when I make a change in open_basedir configuration. So, the problem is when I update open_basedir, the changes are only written to the 2nd webserver. Example: webserver1 (/etc/httpd/conf/sites-available): -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2203 May 20 14:04 website-test.domain.vhost webserver2 (/etc/httpd/conf/sites-available): -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2457 May 20 14:04 website-test.domain.vhost You can see that the size of the same file is different. The file in the webserver2 has the changes in the open_basedir and the file in webserver1 doesn't. Can you help to correct this? Thank you. Regards, Vilhena

Alice Cooper Calls Metal History 'Louder Than Hell' a 'Must-Read'
Headbangers rejoice! An upcoming book promises to trace the entire history and development of heavy metal through first-person interviews with many of its most important performers -- including pioneering shock rocker Alice Cooper, who calls 'Louder Than Hell: The Definitive Oral History of Heavy Metal' the "book every metal fan should own."
Culled from more than 300 interviews conducted over a period of 25 years by veteran rock journalists Jon Wiederhorn and Katherine Turman, 'Louder Than Hell' features an introduction by Scott Ian of Anthrax and an afterword by Judas Priest singer Rob Halford.
The authors took advantage of their extensive contacts to score interviews with some of metal's most influential performers, including Ozzy Osbourne, Eddie Van Halen, Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson, Lita Ford, Vince Neil and Tommy Lee from Motley Crue, Metallica members Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield, and many more.
A press release says the book represents every type and era of heavy metal, from early precursors like Blue Cheer, Led Zeppelin, and the MC5 to current metal bands including Slipknnot, Mastodon and Lamb of God.
Cooper enthuses, "If you love metal, great stories, and music history told by the people who made it, then 'Louder than Hell' is a must-read."
'Louder Than Hell' is slated for release on May 14 via It Books. It is currently available for pre-order at Amazon.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Yes, 416 fabulous real estate deals across the globe. If you're rich, looking for 25% returns and want to get even richer, start by downloading the 62-page list of 416 land grabs from Grain.org. Yes, 416 large-scale real estate deals in 66 counties, more than 85 million acres, with more coming.
Reminds us of those ever-popular lists of foreclosed properties all over America, with get-rich-quick promises of buying cheap and flipping. You need to check out these 416 real estate investment opportunities now. Get on the inside track of one of the hottest real estate opportunities offered in emerging markets worldwide.
Jump on the world's hot new land-grabbing trend: Do some research. Who's making deals? Who's looking for new partners? A "New 21st-Century Land Rush is On" says Utne magazine's replay of Terry Allen's fascinating report In These Times: "Driven by fear and lured by promises of high profits, foreign investors are scooping up vast tracts of farmland in some of the world's hungriest countries to grow crops for export."
Here's the full story about these 416 hot real estate deals. Listen:
Land is the new gold, beats the $600 trillion derivatives market
Yes, you can now get rich grabbing land all over the world. Actually get richer. How? Your partners could include capital-rich sovereign nations, global agribusiness giants, wealthy hedge funds, energy giants, commodity traders, big pension funds, political leaders, even universities like Harvard and Vanderbilt who are into buying, grabbing and leasing hundreds of millions of acres of agriculture land in poor nations. Check out the 62 page list of 416 land grabbing deals.
The "World's New Land Rush" is hot, raging, everywhere, brighter than gold, hotter than derivatives, pure "mutant capitalism," as Vanguard's founder Jack Bogle once called the trend. Bill Gates also warned of these excesses of capitalism and the inefficiencies of United Nations food agencies at a recent meeting in Rome, reported in LandGrab.org.
In his foundation's recent annual letter Gates emphasized his goal of "helping extremely poor people build self-sufficiency" by funding new "agricultural innovation," and being "more innovative about delivering solutions that already exist to farmers."
Unfortunately, most agri-innovations are more for the short-term export demands of the new absentee owners, while they undermine "self-sufficiency" for small local farmers. In short, these 416 land grabs are more proof capital-rich nations are actually accelerating the global food crisis.
And, unfortunately, when this trend peaks it will backfire, triggering global class wars predicted by the Pentagon, with both rich and poor losing in widespread revolutions.
Africa For Sale: Rich Chinese, Saudi investors are big players
Capital-rich nations — like China with a trillion plus in reserve U.S. dollars and Saudi megabanks loaded with petrodollars — are getting richer and richer grabbing cheap land from the world's poor nations, from cultures where more than a billion people live in poverty, on less than two bucks a day, are desperate for food, water and essentials, and are easily duped into selling their nation's agricultural wealth cheap.
Writing "Africa for Sale" in the Peace and Conflict Monitor, Patrick Mugo Mugo quotes Anuradha Mittal, founder of the Oakland Institute on their "ground-breaking" land grab study: "The land grab phenomenon is being done in the name of modernizing agriculture and expanding African economies, but it cuts out the core natural resources that support African livelihoods for the majority, land and water."
As a result, after the deals, hundreds of millions of poor people no longer own their own land. Rich capitalists and rich nations do. The poor are selling their wealth, heritage, future and pride; "This huge transfer of natural wealth to outside investors is eroding food security, water security and cultural integrity for local people."
So why are capital-rich nations like China and the Saudis buying, investing, leasing and hoarding agricultural land beyond their borders, in poor nations? Truth is these 416 land grabs are not simply driven by capitalistic greed, nor by an obsession for higher returns. No, capitalism's just the oil for this land-grabbing machine.
Big reason: Food. Rich nations fear massive food shortages
Capital-rich nations see a game-changing food crisis dead ahead. They're predicting global famine and food shortages as out-of-control population growth outpaces scarce resources. So they're planning ahead. Those 416 land grabs are proof of a long-term strategy. The rich nations know the world's already running out of food. They also know it's going to get far worse, very soon, as populations skyrocket.
China: One of the largest sovereign funds, China Investment Corporation has $332 billion. Allen talks about China's aggressive land grab policies in Utne: "In addition to its interest in Africa, China is investing in diverse cropland in Australia and New Zealand and looking to Indonesia for biofuels and to South America for soy for livestock production to feed its increasingly affluent population's taste for meat and dairy. China's South American interests are so extensive that some Brazilians" are "crediting Chinese investment for their booming economy."
Saudi Arabia: The Saudi sovereign wealth funds are motivated by water problems that severely limit domestic food supplies. Allen says "the sheiks had been watching the writing in the sand since the 1970s … after the Arab oil-export embargo, they realized their vulnerability: Just as the West was dependent on them for oil, they were dependent on others for food." First they used their oil technology "drilling deep for water." And with "heavy irrigation, the country soon became self-sufficient in wheat."
But the Saudi's plan soon backfired. Their "prehistoric aquifer was almost exhausted." Then food riots hit in 2007: "Saudi wheat harvest had dropped precipitously." Now, "the Saudi Ministry of Agriculture predicts that by 2016 the country will have to import 100 percent of the wheat it needs to feed its nearly 26 million people."
So China, Saudi Arabia and other capital-rich food-poor nations are stockpiling agriculture lands worldwide to feed their future populations, planning for the coming food wars predicted a few years ago when World Bank President Robert Zoellick, warned that "33 countries around the world face potential social unrest because of the acute hike in food and energy prices."
And still politicians everywhere refuse to discuss policies limiting population growth, refuse to shift from self-destructive economic growth assumptions to no-growth economic policies. The net result: Myopic rich nations just keep searching the world, competing for farmland, driving up prices, grabbing, adding to the list of 416 land grabs.
Robin Hood in reverse: Rob from the poor, give to the rich
The world's 21st century land rush is a massive reverse Robin Hood scheme. Capital-rich nations are robbing from the poor to give to their rich. They know population growth is out of control, fueling a food crisis. They hope their people will get all the food they want, exported from poor nations that already don't have enough.
But in the process of minimizing the risk of revolutions at home they will encourage them abroad.
Americans, of course, can't see this dangerous game any more than we understand the $600 trillion global derivatives market. Instead, we're lost in our narcissistic election bubble, mesmerized by the Oscars, "American Idol" and other reality shows.
Americans aren't worried as much about the price of a loaf of bread as a small African subsistence farmer. We have a giant domestic agribusiness, we export, we have 3 acres of farmland per capita, far more than China's 0.23 acres per capita. And they'll have to feed 300 million more people by 2050.
Big threats: Class wars accelerating—over food, water, freedom
Historians see this trend as a prescription for revolutions, a ticking time bomb: Arab Spring, OWS, Spain with 50% youth unemployment. Riots in Athens, Moscow, Paris.
Allen warns: "When people are hungry enough, they are likely to choose the risk of revolution over the certainty of starvation." And nations "unable to secure affordable food for their people are vulnerable to the kind of social unrest that has long been part of history's hunger not only for food, but also for justice."
Think of these 416 global land-grab deals as a short fuse burning, about to ignite global contagion, warning the world to wake up and start planning, now, work together. Why? Because by 2050 the United Nations predicts global population will skyrocket from today's 7 billion to an unsustainable 10 billion.
But then it will be too late to plan. Great wars will be raging over commodity prices, food shortages, less productive agricultural lands, disappearing water supplies, higher energy costs to grow crops, insurmountable constraints.
Amnesia: never learned the lessons of 2008, destined to repeat, soon
Our planet cannot feed 10 billion people, not now, not in 2050. These 416 global land-grabbing deals for capital-rich nations are proof of a massive case of denial.
Several years ago we reported on 20 warnings leading up to the 2008 Crash. Few listened. Why? Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner got it right in his recent Wall Street Journal op-ed piece: Amnesia. We can't remember. Our brains are incapable of learning history's great lessons.
Bottom line: Today's drama reminds me of a major cover story in the Economist back two years before the 2008 global meltdown: "Rising property prices helped to prop up the world economy after the stock market bubble burst in 2000." Global real estate values increased 75% in five short years, blowing "the biggest bubble in history."
Well, the bubble's repeating. Amnesia too. And warnings of an even bigger meltdown. But few will listen.
