Prosecutors say two men accused of plotting to rob and kill soul singer Joss Stone planned to decapitate her, then dump her body in a river.
The suspects, Junior Bradshaw and Kevin Liverpool, were arrested in June 2011, close to the singer's house after suspicious neighbors reported them to police. They never reached her house.
Opening the case at Exeter Crown Court, prosecutor Simon Morgan told a jury the pair, aged 32 and 35, set off from their home in Manchester with a samurai sword, knives, a hammer, black bags and gloves for Stone's house in Devon.
Morgan said that handwritten notes found in the suspects' car indicated they planned to decapitate the singer before finding a river to dispose of her body.
The defendants deny all charges.

Familiar textbook quantum mechanics assumes a fixed background spacetime to define states on spacelike surfaces and their unitary evolution between them. Quantum theory has been generalized as our conceptions of space and time have evolved. But quantum mechanics needs to be generalized further for quantum gravity where spacetime geometry is fluctuating and without definite value. This talk will review a fully four-dimensional, sum-over-histories, generalized quantum mechanics of cosmological spacetime geometry. In this generalization, states of fields on spacelike surfaces and their unitary evolution are emergent properties appropriate when spacetime geometry behaves approximately classically. The principles of generalized quantum theory would allow for further generalization that would be necessary were spacetime not fundamental. Emergent spacetime phenomena are discussed in general and illustrated with the examples of the classical spacetime geometries with large spacelike surfaces that emerge from the `no-boundary' wave function of the universe. These must be Lorentzian with one, and only one, time direction. The question will be raised as to whether quantum mechanics itself is emergent.

Idaho Sunrise (Baked Eggs and Bacon In Potato Bowls)
Ok, what is up with eggs?!!? They seem to be in everything lately! From topping pizzas, to burgers (shout out to Blanc, for KC locals!), to garnishing soups…apparently the incredible, edible egg is now tres chic. Intriguing, but I'm all for it! :)
One creative idea for baking eggs that seemed new and notable (at least to me) is this great recipe I stumbled across online. I admit…I was initially drawn to it because I though it looked pretty cute. (I love anything with "bowls"!) But I was eventually won over by how incredibly simple and delicious these little guys turned out to be! Plus, the ingredients are super-economical. Yay.
Definitely a fun twist on the typical eggs, bacon and hash browns. Plus, a great way to use up leftover baked potatoes! Way to go, Idaho….
Idaho Sunrise (Baked Eggs & Bacon In Potato Bowls)
Try this Idaho Sunrise (Baked Eggs & Bacon In Potato Bowls) recipe today! Your morning favorites presented in a creative fashion! You'll love it!
- 2 large mostly-baked* potatoes (Russett or sweet potatoes)
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 Tbsp. shredded cheddar or gouda cheese
- 1 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Lay the first baked potato on its side, and use a knife to carefully cut off the top third of the potato. With a spoon, hollow out the middle of the potato to make a "bowl", leaving the potato as thick or thin as you'd like. (Just remember, the more room you leave, the more room for eggs, bacon and cheese!) Repeat with the second potato.
Place 1/2 tablespoon of butter in the middle of each bowl. Then gently break an egg into each bowl, careful not to break the yolk. Top with bacon, cheese, parsley, and then season with salt and pepper.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg whites are set. Serve immediately.
*I recommend baking the potatoes until they are nearly done. You don't want them to be underbaked, but then extra 20-25 minutes in the oven with the eggs will definitely continue to cook them, and you don't want them to be overbaked. So I would err on the side of being mostly baked, but not completely.

If you make this recipe, be sure to snap a photo and hashtag it #gimmesomeoven. I'd love to see what you cook!
Ali's Tip:
Feel free to experiment with seasonings on these! Especially if you tried this with sweet potatoes, I imagine some more savory (or spicy!) seasonings would be great!

Wow , I am going to make this recipe tomorrow, can't wait to taste it! Hope can get same result .
I'd like to bake these over a campfire or in the coals. Any recommendations? Need to feed about 25 at a rustic campout.
Try wrapping the pots with the filling in tin foil and puting it in the hot ash and coal and cover it up as well. Make sure it is not just coal because the heat will be too fierce.That will do the trick.

Terrence Howard has finally put his bitter divorce behind him – the marriage has been deemed officially over by a judge.
Michelle Ghent submitted legal papers to end the union in February 2011, just days after the couple celebrated its first wedding anniversary.
They have been embroiled in a nasty court battle ever since, but they are now single again after a judge finalized divorce proceedings earlier this week.
Howard has been ordered to pay $5,800 a month in spousal support for the next three years, but has kept his properties. Ghent was allowed to keep a BMW gifted to her by the "Red Tails" star, according to TMZ.com.

Billed as "The Largest gathering of the secular movement in world history," the Reason Rally is set to take place on March 24, 2012 at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. While the rally is intended to provide secularists with the opportunity to meet with like-minded people while also dispelling the negative stereotypes that are associated with atheism and other secular beliefs, an underground campaign known as "Bibles for Bucks" has developed that threatens to derail one of the event's primary goals.
"The Bibles for Bucks initiative does nothing but undermine what most secular humanists stand for," said Troy Boyle, who is the president of the National Atheist Party, or NAP. "The goal of the Reason Rally and of the NAP is not to insult theists in order to elevate atheists in some way. Rather, we simply want to let the world see that we are a strong, united voice and that we are normal, everyday people who care about our fellow man and who demand respect for our rights. You can't ask for your views to be respected while simultaneously putting down the beliefs of others."
The Bibles for Bucks initiative urges Reason Rally participants to make pledges to the organization of their choice based on the number of theists who approach them and proselytize to them during the event. While the Bibles for Bucks campaign initially encouraged participants to pledge for every bible received at the event, it was later changed to pledging a certain dollar amount for every theist who approaches "to share their dogma at the Rally."
"We do not agree with the approach of the Bibles for Bucks campaign," said James Klawon, who is the Deputy Vice President of Administration for the NAP. "The campaign does nothing but make a mockery of those theists who choose to attend the Rally. Our hope is that we can engage in open, honest dialogue with theists. Respect is a two-way street, and secretly keeping tabs on the number of theists who attempt to engage you in conversation so you can use it as an excuse to donate to an atheist organization is far from respectful."
In an attempt to create this open dialogue, promote reason instead of hate and capitalize on media attention, Klawon sent an invitation to the Westboro Baptist Church on behalf of the NAP. In part, the letter invited the church to visit the party's information booth to socialize and to receive one of the party's "swag bags" containing promotional items. The letter can also be interpreted as a challenge to the Westboro Baptist Church to attend the rally with an open mind to its message.
"As the Westboro Baptist Church is representative of the most extreme interpretation of fundamentalism, we felt it appropriate to reach across the ecumenical aisle and invite them to the Reason Rally," continued Boyle. "If any group in America could benefit from exposure to secular thought, it is Westboro. The Bibles for Bucks campaign, however, will make our attempts to bridge these gaps and to forge a greater understanding between theists and atheists more difficult."
The National Atheist Party is a non-profit 527 political organization dedicated to the preservation of the Founding Father's vision of a secular nation.

Hello Catey. You commented on my post when I was agonizing about coming to the Reason Rally.
I have booked a flight and hotel room and had a tee shirt made that says "A Canadian Who Supports the Reason Rally and Tolerance."
Atheists are a minority and it doesn't hurt to reach out to those who are religious and support freedom of expression and the separation between Church and State and shake their hands if they attend.
A religious person that supports the teaching of evolution and taking god out of government and education and putting it back into a personal lifestyle is a friend of mine. I'm sure there are some out there.
I will just ignore any fanatic religious people who attend and try to score points on me.
This other stuff you posted above is all about the marketing. Speaking of that, my son and I went to see Bill Mahers movie Religulous up here in Canada. We found out my son's friend was paid to picket the movie as a religious fanatic by some independent marketing company. Bill Maher came out of a screening for a smoke saw a few crazies picketing - shook his head and went back inside. (I don't think he knew). It was funny to us because my son's friend is the furthest thing from a religious zealot. So in that instance up here in Canada someone had to hire "religious zealots" for marketing - there were no real ones.
The only problem with the premise "to bridge these gaps and to forge a greater understanding between theists and atheists" is that I seriously doubt that either the WBC or many proselytizing theist organizations have any interest in "understanding" atheists. By our very presence, we upset their applecart. They either want us gone or converted, neither option being horribly likely.
I am not going to the Rally, myself, but were I able to attend, I would gladly make it clear to anyone who attempted to engage in proselytism with me that their very actions would result in my increased support for atheist organizations. When and if they wish to respect atheism as a valid position and are truly willing to engage us from their side, my attitude may change.
As of this date, I have seen nothing from the theists' camps to suggest that, nor am I holding my breath.

S T R E T C H I N G ! Help us get to $133,000!?
Last Monday, just after lunch, we reached our initial goal of $113,000, and we're grateful and happy and sleeping better. We know that we'll soon be starting on the production of 6 programs called NEBBY: RICK SEBAK'S TALES OF GREATER PITTSBURGH.
We'd like to bump up the number of programs in the series to 7. We think we can do that if we get to $133,000 by late Tuesday night. Our Kickstarter/Rickstarter ends on Wednesday morning at 12:02.
Since 2018 will be the Bicentennial of the completion of Pittsburgh's very first river-crossing bridge, the Monongahela Bridge across that river at the site of our current Smithfield Bridge, we're proposing that Program 7 could be a program about some of the lore, the history, the design, the engineering and the beauty of our bridges.
It is 27 years since we made FLYING OFF THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE! AND OTHER TALES OF PITTSBURGH BRIDGES, and we have much new and old to celebrate in this City of Bridges.
If you've already pledged, you might consider adding on to your pledge (easy to do.) Tell all your friends to consider a pledge too.
If this is your first visit to this site, please watch the video above and read about the rest of our proposed project. Thanks!
We want to make a new set of at least 6 (maybe 7!) public television programs that will air on WQED in Pittsburgh. We want to call this new series "NEBBY: Rick Sebak's Tales of Greater Pittsburgh." And we need your help.
We want these programs to start airing on WQED this summer and have all broadcast before the end of the year so that DVDs and downloads can be delivered by early 2018.
You probably know that for nearly 30 years, Rick Sebak has been nebby in neighborhoods all around Pittsburgh. On WQED, he's been asking people questions about this city, why they live here, what they like about the place. "What do you remember about going to Kennywood when you were a kid?" "Why do you come to the Strip every Saturday?" "What makes these hot dogs and fries better than most?" "Why do you think people are moving downtown?" In 2013, he even got to ask workers inside the Squirrel Hill Tunnels, "Why are you tearing down the drop-ceiling in here?"
Nebby is a word you sometimes hear in western Pennsylvania. It means "nosy" or "inquisitive." It's classic Pittsburghese. A person who asks a lot of questions is nebby. "I think 'nebby' is my favorite of the local Pittsburgh words that I grew up with," says Rick. "I can hear my mom saying 'Don't be so nebby!'"
Now Rick wants to make these 6 new TV programs that will continue to celebrate our city. And he'll ask a lot of questions.
"For many years now at WQED, we never start shooting a new show till we're fully funded," explains Rick. "And while our friends at the Buhl Foundation have already given us some seed money, it's not enough to cover the considerable costs of making 6 half-hour programs. So we've decided to try this Kickstarter as a sort of 21st-century pledge campaign. "
RICK: We've built a budget based on our experience with the series we did called IT'S PITTSBURGH & A LOT OF OTHER STUFF. From 2010 through 2013, we made 30-minute and 60-minute programs about a wide variety of topics, and I miss that.
I have some topics I'd like to tackle in the NEBBY programs:
A SHORT HISTORY OF PENNSYLVANIA ROUTE 88: Although it now starts at Route 51 in Overbrook and runs south almost to the West Virginia line, Route 88 originally started in Erie and continued all the way through Western PA. It connects many towns in the Monongahela Valley, and I've always wanted to do some more stories there.
MEAT PITTSBURGH: Now that our city is dotted with independent butcher shops, and world class restaurants where meats are being cured, and farmers with extraordinary reputations around the city are raising animals, it should be fascinating to find out more about Western Pennsylvania as a destination for carnivores. Obviously a vegetarian follow-up is a logical progression: BEET PITTSBURGH?
OUR BIKE TRAILS: Western Pennsylvania is lucky to have a plentiful selection of trails for biking and hiking, and I'd like to find out more about them, celebrate them and encourage folks to use them. For several years now I've learned to love the Steel Valley Trail (with its impressive old bridge across the Mon to McKeesport) but I'd like to know more about the Kiski Riverfront Trail, the Browns Run Trail and the Butler-Freeport Community Trail, just to name a few. I'd like to meet and thank the people who've worked to make these trails such an attractive and occasionally challenging part of our world.
I'm thinking I'd also like to make a program called PITTSBURGH IN A BOTTLE. This would be a look at some of the beverages that are distilled, brewed, carbonated, concocted and bottled in our region. There are quite a few now including vodka, whisky, rum and many excellent beers. Maybe this is a two-part series.
PEOPLE WHO WRITE BOOKS AROUND HERE: I'd like to highlight the work of people like Daniel Lowe and Stewart O'Nan (the 2 novelists shown above at the White Whale Bookstore in Bloomfield.) There's also Lori Jakiela and Dave Newman (who both write excellent books about their lives around here), as well as Thomas Sweterlitsch (whose dystopian vision of Pittsburgh after a terrorist attack in his novel Tomorrow And Tomorrow still often influences how I look at places around town.) And we are also blessed with local poets like Terrance Hayes (winner of the National Book Award in 2012 for his volume of poems titled Lighthead) and Jan Beatty (who has just released a collection of her work titled Jackknife: New & Selected Poems.) I think we all should know more about them and their works.
But these ideas are all hypothetical. We need to raise the funding to make any or all of them into NEBBY programs.
Crowdfunding is nothing new to WQED. Even before this landmark TV station went on the air on April 1, 1954, volunteers went around Pittsburgh's neighborhoods collecting donations from everybody who would listen to this crazy idea about community-sponsored television. As the first such experiment in public broadcasting--always with emphasis on education--WQED proved to the world that if you get enough people to make contributions to a project, you can thrive. We think this Kickstarter effort follows in that glorious local tradition.
Read our list of contribution levels. Choose one. Or make any contribution you can.
This is 21st century fundraising. Of course we veterans of many on-air pledge breaks think that it's cool that we're still asking you to make a pledge. If we can get enough pledges to make our goal, we'll get to work on these new programs as quick as we can.
We thank you in advance.
Risks and challenges
We have been making Pittsburgh documentaries since 1987, and we expect these new NEBBY programs will follow in the style and quality that viewers have come to expect from producer Rick Sebak. He has completed 30 Pittsburgh History Series programs and 15 national PBS specials that are currently available on DVD and download.
Our biggest challenges will be deciding on topics and making the best use of the time available.
Funding period
- (30 days)

We need a logo for our startup. The website is focussed on makign it easier for the casual lover of music to find live music events happening in the local area very easily. The website address is http://www.gigzee.com
gigzee.com is focussed on aggregating live music event information and then displaying it to end users in an innovative form so that the casual lover of music can find an event to go to within a few minutes of browsing. The website is focussed on local information, so maps is a key part of our display strategy. To that extent, we need a logo that is cool, yet simple. The letters should be clearly readabale. Adding some musical element to the logo will be fine, but is not required. The logo should be designed so that it looks good on a t-shirt.
- Vectored format for the images, so that resizing isnt an issue.
- all letters should be lowercase, or else, the first letter should be capitalized. We can go with either one.
- should add the word "Beta" under the logo
- Open with color schemes, however the colors should be soothing and not hostile.
- The font should be friendly, the letters should be all lowercase.- The first g should be such that it can be put in the favicon.
- very flashy logos, or too much design. keep it simple.
- no musical note. :)

Michael Vick surprised even himself by defeating LeSean McCoy in a 40-yard foot race earlier this month. Though McCoy jokingly derides Vick as an "old man," the 32-year-old Philadelphia Eagles quarterback might be faster this year than last, thanks to the training regimen implemented by new coach Chip Kelly.
"I didn't know I could still run that way," Vick told Yahoo! Sports' Jason Cole. "I give a lot of credit to our strength and conditioning program, the things Chip has implemented into our training. He's got me doing things and seeing muscles that I hadn't seen in my body for a long time. It's a good time. I'm excited about that."
Kelly has introduced new fitness and health practices, including heart monitors, customized sleep tests and personalized smoothies specifically catered to each player's diet and workout regimens. It's all designed to help his players sustain peak performance in an up-tempo attack.
"I've never engaged in this type of nutrition and conditioning and weightlifting," Vick said. "It has been great because it's different than what I've done in the past. ... At the end, you look in the mirror and you're like, damn."
Vick took the opening snaps in Monday's practice, the first session open to the media this offseason. Reporters described Kelly's offense as "shock and awe" with a "frenetic" pace. If the "old man" is going to hold off Nick Foles and Matt Barkley for the starting job, he must regain the step he appeared to have lost last season. He's off to a promising start under Kelly.

Abstact. The tunnel splitting in biaxial antiferromagnetic particles is studied with a magnetic field applied along the hard anisotropy axis. We observe the oscillation of tunnel splitting as a function of the magnetic field due to the quantum phase interference of two tunneling paths of opposite windings. The oscillation is similar to the recent experimental result with Fe8 molecular clusters.
Abstract: The point-particle-like Hamiltonian of a biaxial spin particle with external magnetic field along the hard axis is obtained in terms of the potential field description of spin systems with exact spin-coordinate correspondence. The Zeeman energy term turns out to be an effective gauge potential which leads to a nonintegrable phase of the Euclidean Feynman propagator. The phase interference between clockwise and anticlockwise under barrier propagations is recognized explicitly as the Aharonov-Bohm effect. An additional phase which is significant for quantum phase interference is discovered with the quantum theory of spin systems besides the known phase obtained with the semiclassical treatment of spin. We also show the energy dependence of the effect and obtain the tunneling splitting at excited states with the help of periodic instantons.

The 141st Meeting of Noisebridge
- Moderator: Shannon
- Note-Taker: Liz
Introduction and Names
Jared. machine learning group, it is his first weekly meeting, he came to the meeting to bridge the gap between machine learning group and everyone else and see what the financial situation is.
Nick. Is here a lot and runs the iphone meetup group. Mostly is here during the day, working on his own projects. He is working on getting the vending machine. It comes on Thurs. or Fri this week. Thanks to those who made it happen. Nick also helped move buliding supplies today
Michael hands Nick a 20 dollar bill for the vending machine. Cheers!
Zed. He builds stuff.
John, does web developement
Lilia is in ur computerz developin ur software. She's also in ur darkroom developin ur photos. It is an actual working darkroom. *cheers from all around for the working darkroom*
Mike Kan, works on many projects, works in the shop, is a techno floater, like a bumble bee.
Shannon says Mike knows everything about pumps. Mike says he is not a function. He doesn't want to be pigeonholed. He knows about a lot of stuff except law, business, and computer programming. Everything else, ask him. He is not a number. He is a free man! He does not have a narrow frame of mind. He enjoys variety. He interviews people to know what they're about. He's like a welcome pavilion!
Danny is articulate for a living. He hacks words.
Liz could not think of anything to say because of typing these notes. She is a web developer and has a small press and lives on a houseboat. You can borrow her wheelchair and wheel it around if you ask nicely. It has front wheels that light up. She enjoys the Noisebridge discuss mailing list very much.
Chandra - web dev, came for Ruby group on Tuesdays. Is also an artist who hasn't made antying in a while and likes it that there is whatever going on
Benjamin - web dev - Hacked some projects here, does other work. Bring the Chaos Communication Congress to Berlin. Benny is streaming it to NB. People are coming for it in th emiddle of the night. Dr. Jesus is working on it too.
Simon. Computer programmer.
Patrick. Web dev. Is here with the day crowd. John, nick, benny, mike sometimes.
Praveen, he develops stuff. Machine learning. He is here more this week because he's on vacation.
Financial Report
Funds in bank: $16,229.80
Danny is acting as proxy treasurer for Kelly, who is stuck at Heathrow.
Previously in NB treasury news, we thought we were screwed. The basic principle is that we should have 3 months expenses. We had less than 2 months expenses a couple of weeks ago. The good news is that we are now back to 3 months ahead.
- applause*
We now have 16K in the bank account, and that's after paying for January rent.
Everyone was excellent. We got in 5K in casual donations for December. We also brought in 4K in membership dues. Paypal had randomly stopped some recurring payments, no one spotted it. We contacted a lot of members who then restored the recurring payments.
The rough cost of running NB is 5K a month. Kelly has some figures which are a bit tentative. Oct: we took in 4K. Nov: 6K, and costs (including next year's insurance) were a bit more. 9.5K December, expenses unknown . Ongoing membership dues: 4.1K a month, roughly. 12 people are paying not as members, but as regular donators.
Kelly asks for people to ask questions, We will note them and she will answer in the wiki or on the mailing list.
Praveen: How much money is coming from big donations that are one-time? What is our reliance on that?
Danny: In 2009 according to the annual report, about third of NB's income was from casual non-recurring donations. Unsure as to how much of this is big donations rather than small payments.
Praveen: If people pay their entire year's dues up front, are we tracking that?
Danny: There are 32 people who pay dues, 10 or so that they probably pay money, a coupe of them pay up front all at once.
Shannon attempts to answer the question Chandra asked: What happened? We run on volunteer work. We now have an awesome treasurer Kelly and also Danny has stepped up to help out. Danny adds that it is due to Kelly untangling things that we a) knew the situation b) we were able to fix it.
Shannon adds also that he panicked a bit and sent a scaremongering email. Things weren't as bad as he thought they were. He feels a bit bad, but not too bad because people have been stepping up.
Jared says the Machine Learning group didn't know what the financial system of NB worked and what it needs and they would like to contribute and make sure NB is okay.
Liz says we can still get people to pay attention and fix a situation, without creating a panic.
Praveen asks for financial report emails to go to announce.
Liz: How to set up more employer matching donations? How do we set that up, and publicize it correctly?
Danny says, keep asking the companies, have some employees suggesting it. Then find the financial people.
Shannon says to ask your HR person if you think your company might match your donations.
Liz: Let's detach the idea of donating and recurring payments from "membership". Encourage people to set up donations. Link to the donation page on the NB wiki.
Membership Binder
Shannon explains the membership process. Put your name in the membership binder. We then read their names out for 4 weeks. You need 2 signatures. After that, show up at the meeting and we send you out of the room and discuss you.
If you just want to donate to NB and be a part of it, donate, be an affiliate member, and you're not interested in the politics and consensus process, and don't want to come to these meetings...
John says we should charge MORE for the affiliate option. General laughter.
Chandra asks if you get a shelf if you're an affiliate member. Answer: you can put stuff on a spare shelf any time you want. The wiki says you have to be a dues paying member to get a shelf but that is wrong. Stick your name on a shelf and put your stuff on it.
Shannon says Jonathan says that someone stole something from his shelf and he gave up his shelf in disgust. Alas! (This turns out not to be quite the whole story, actually.)
We now read out prospective member names, which I will not record.
Nick Ianonne is now a member of Noisebridge. He has brought beer and limes. Yay!
What's Going On at Noisebridge
Next week in Machine Learning, Clay is giving a talk and Mike Schecter is giving a talk on neural networks. Working on a contest to analyze social network data to try and win money for NB. Implementing Flickr who to follow recs.
Spacebridge may be on hiatus right now. They launch balloons into outer space. It is awesome.
Knots, Go, and Locks. 3pm Sundays, we tie knots, pick locks, and play Go. They go together beautifully.
Non-weekly, 5 minutes of fame, our lightning talks series, it is a great series of talks and a lot of people come.
Bay Area Hackers Association meets here.
Second Saturday of every month, we meet and build Noisebridge infrastructure. Infrastructure Holiday!

Project Updates
There are stairs that Zedd (and Shannon) made, going into the new laser cutting room, formerly the tea room. Cheers for the stairs!
We have cleared the building supplies from the back wall between the kitchen and the classrooms. Trash was trashed. Tools and nails and screws are in the shop. All the building supplies -- drywall, tiles, plumbing and electrical supplies and cement -- are in the room with the water heater. This happened because Shannon was bitching about it, Liz started organizing the stuff, and lots of people came over to move the heavy things. The rat poop was also cleaned up, a cabinet moved to the top of some other cabinets. Nick moved a lot of cement. Many people mopped the floor.
The board of excellence is now up! Lillia made this. Put photos of people up and put up people's names and praise them for being excellent. We added one part of it for someone who will answer questions or give tours. If you are here and you want to add your picture and name to this
Liz suggests we implement the metal wall with magnet photos of people with names. Good, welcoming for people coming into the space, helps people know each other especially if you're bad at remembering names.
Malia says that has been suggested a bunch.
Someone on the mailng list just said they will bring in a big sheet of metal for this project.
Mike Kan likes the idea of a welcoming kiosk. at the entrance. A Welcome Pavilion!
Patrick likes the idea of the guest kiosk thingie. He says Praveen is writing code for it right now. Praveen suddenly looks very busy and guilty.
Consensus items
Discussion Items
Mike Kan brings up some discussion items. One is the sleep thing. The other is the kitchen and the dishes. He considers them to be hardware problems. Get rid of the couches, and the dishes. Eliminate the public dishes and people will bring their own cup. Maybe that will eliminate the dishes problem. There will be only pots and pans.
Trash compactor to shred cans and jars?
Shannon suggests a couch compactor.
We should also have everyone bring their own couches.
Nick asks about the survey going around. It is mostly Dany's fault, but also Liz's. 76 people have answered the survey online or because of being harassed by Danny in person in the space in the last couple of days. Danny will present the results at 5 minutes of fame.
The results that we have permission to make public will also go on the wiki or somewhere.
Jared wants to know if people can amend their survey answers. Danny says yes, just email him, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Lilia says that 12/28/2010 is sponsored by Noodles. It is called "Boring Day". Shannon bought Christmas so that no one would name it something obnoxious.
Danny says, he has some possible projects. Monthly talk series where he brings a person in to talk. Regular newsletter, sent out to NB announce. It would give some narrative coherence to Noisebridge. Nick is excited about the newsletter idea. Liz wants to call it "Signal to Noise".
Nick suggests a sort of template or script of some points that meetup organizers can make at their weekly meetings. Membership, What is NB. Etc. He says he'll start this from what he says at the start of his meetups.
End of Meeting
Let the PGP key signing commence!
Danny and Benny sign each others PGP keys. Everyone watches. They blush. The end!

The Best Wireless Portable Speakers: The Definitive Guide/
How on earth are you supposed to find a good quality wireless speaker when there's so many choices available? Luckily, you're not all alone because we're here to help you out. Convenience is key when considering a wireless Bluetooth portable speaker, but not every one of these well known brands actually puts out a solid package. Every speaker under the sun boasts how well it sounds when in reality you could end up using a speaker that really isn't as good as the next one over.
That's why we've created this special Gadgetmac Guide edition to help you with purchasing the best wireless portable speaker your money can buy. With a bit of audiophile juice running in our veins, we have managed to separate the ordinary from the extraordinary using our extensive experience handling these small noise making devices all whilst taking sound quality, design and user-friendly features into consideration. Split into two price categories, this guide lists the top best speakers you can take with you wherever you go, but not without having the intense power-to-size ratio needed to blast your tunes as well as the right performance that'll make your ears beg for more of that wireless audio goodness. Jump past the break for the full rundown!Read More

I am writing a function which passes a score and returns a letter grade based on the score. Real simple stuff. However I cannot seem to understand what to do with a score that is less than 0 or greater than 100. In this case I would like to return an invalid statement but I cannot figure out how.
Basically I have it set up in a series of if-else if - else statements.
this is my final else statement
and letter_grade is of type char.Code:else letter_grade = 'invalid' ;
How can I pass 'invalid'

Coyotes cut down, shut out by Blue Jackets
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Nathan Horton just kept on smiling.
He grinned during warmups, beamed after his first shift and screamed with joy following his first goal.
Horton sure is happy to be playing hockey again.
And the Columbus Blue Jackets are thrilled their big investment made an immediate impact.
Horton scored in his Columbus debut, Curtis McElhinney made 34 saves for his second shutout of the season, and the Blue Jackets beat the sluggish Phoenix Coyotes 2-0 on Thursday night.
R.J. Umberger also scored for the Blue Jackets, who snapped a two-game losing streak amid a burst of energy provided by Horton, Columbus' $37 million offseason free-agent acquisition.
"I had so much fun out there," said Horton, unable to contain his smirk even after the game in dressing room. "It's so exciting to be back."
Horton, the ex-Boston Bruins winger who missed the first 40 games following shoulder surgery, poked in a rebound late in the second period for his 199th career goal.
Umberger added a second power-play goal midway through the final period and the Blue Jackets shored up their struggling penalty kill in a performance they hope helps them climb back into the Eastern Conference playoff race.
"You can tell we're a good team when we play hard," Horton said. "I really enjoyed being out there with the guys."
Mike Smith stopped 29 shots for the Coyotes, who lost defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson to injury early in the first period and they were shut out for the first time this season.
It also ended a streak of six straight overtime games for the Coyotes.
"We didn't compete hard enough," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said.
Horton, who helped Boston win the Stanley Cup in 2011 and then had 19 points in 22 playoff games for the Bruins last season, signed a seven-year, $37.1 million free-agent deal with the Blue Jackets last summer.
In his first game since last season's Stanley Cup final, Horton was matched with Brandon Dubinsky and Artem Anisimov. They had two solid opening shifts before Horton's first shot was kicked away by Smith midway through the first period.
Late in the second period after Smith took a penalty for playing the puck outside the trapezoid, James Wisniewski took a shot that Smith poked away.
But the 6-foot-2, 229-pound Horton was in front of the net and tapped in the rebound at 15:51.
"Sometimes I felt good, sometimes I felt bad," Horton said. "It's been a long time since I've played."
How much did the Blue Jackets need Horton? His goal snapped an 0-for-18 power-play drought. His presence even seemed to inspire the defense, which had allowed six power-play goals in the previous two games.
Columbus killed all five Phoenix power plays.
"We had a big talk about it (Tuesday)," Umberger said of the penalty kill.
The Blue Jackets also activated goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky (groin), who had been out 12 games, and defenseman Dalton Prout (upper body), who had missed six games.
Bobrovsky served as the backup to McElhinney. He made several difficult saves, including on Keith Yandle's point-blank shot early in the third period.
"I think he was disappointed after last game," Columbus coach Todd Richards said of McElhinney, who allowed five goals in Colorado Tuesday. "You could tell after the game he wasn't happy. Even (Wednesday) he wasn't happy. And it's a great response."
Ekman-Larsson suffered an upper-body injury early in the first period on a hit into the boards by Derek MacKenzie. No boarding was called on the play and Tippett said they kept him out as a precaution, leaving Phoenix with only five defensemen.
A day after being passed over by the U.S. Olympic team, Yandle soon went after MacKenzie. The two served fighting majors in a sloppy first period that saw only six shots apiece.
But the Blue Jackets dominated the second period and Phoenix had little energy as it failed to earn a point for only the third time in 12 games.
"We didn't manage the puck very well tonight," Smith said. "You lose Ekman-Larsson early in the game like that and you turn pucks over, it puts a lot of stress on five (defensemen). It wears on them."

Olympic Roundup - Friday, Aug. 15, 2008
Aug. 15, 2008
Women's Soccer
The U.S. defeated Canada, 2-1, in overtime to advance to the semifinals. U.S. sub Natasha Kai scored the game-winner on a diving header in the 101st minute. Lauren Cheney made her Olympic debut, entering the game in the 109th minute. In just 11 minutes of play, she recorded two shots that each missed just wide. Canadian forward Kara Lang started and played all 120 minutes and had one shot on goal.
The U.S. will next face Japan in the semifinals on Monday, Aug. 18 in a rematch of an earlier Group play game that the U.S. won, 1-0. The semifinal game will be televised live on MSNBC at 6 am PT.
Incoming freshman Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs recorded the second-best all-around finish in Canadian Olympic history, finishing 16th in the all-around finals with a mark of 58.375. Only UCLA aluma Kate Richardson finished higher, with a 15th-place showing in 2000. Hopfner-Hibbs' best scores came on the uneven bars (15.425, seventh-best mark of the night) and vault (14.875).
Click on the following links to watch Hopfner-Hibbs' routines: Beam (0:10:45 mark) | Floor (0:30:00 mark) | Vault (1:02:30 mark) | Bars (1:38:40 mark)
Women's Water Polo
Former UCLA standout Natalie Golda scored a game-high three goals to pace the U.S. women's water polo team past Russia, 12-7, in both teams' final preliminary-round match. The victory over Russia (0-3), the No. 3 ranked team in the world, helped propel Team USA (2-0-1) into the semifinals, where the Americans will await the winner of Sunday's Australia-China quarterfinal contest. The Americans beat Italy (2-0-1) in a tiebreaker to win Group A.
Golda, who scored four goals in Team USA's opening match against China, registered three goals on five shot attempts against the Russians. Former UCLA goalkeeper Jamie Hipp recorded one save in her first appearance of the 2008 Olympics. The U.S. women's team is led by former UCLA head coach Guy Baker.
Team USA's semifinal match will take place Tuesday, Aug. 19 in Beijing. Game time is slated for either Monday, Aug. 18 at 11:20 p.m. (PT) or Tuesday, Aug. 19 at 12:40 a.m. (PT). The semifinal match can be viewed live online (www.nbcolympics.com) and watched on NBC-4 (tape delayed) on Tuesday, Aug. 19 between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
UCLA women's rowing assistant coach Mark Hunter and teammate Zac Purchase became the first lightweight British crew to qualify for an Olympic final, placing first in the semifinals of the lightweight double sculls with a time of 6:29.56. The British crew will race in the Finals on Sunday, Aug. 17.
Mike Altman and the U.S. lightweight fours crew finished sixth in their semifinal with a time of 6:16.30 and did not qualify for Sunday's Final A. The U.S. will instead race in the Final B on Saturday, Aug. 16.
Natasha Watley hit her second home run of the Olympics in Team USA's 7-0 win over Japan and Andrea Duran had a pair of RBI in an 8-1 comeback victory over Canada.
The U.S. is now 4-0 in pool play and will next face Chinese Taipei at 9 p.m. Friday PT (12 p.m. Saturday Beijing time).
In game one against Japan, Watley staked Team USA to a 1-0 lead with a leadoff home run in the top of the first. Tairia Mims Flowers reached in all three plate appearances, singling and drawing two walks while scoring a run. Duran went 0-for-1 with a walk in two at-bats.
In the second game against Canada, which was halted by rain a day earlier, play resumed with the U.S. trailing 1-0 in the fourth. The score remained that way until the Americans rallied for four runs in both the sixth and seventh innings to win it in a rout. Duran capped off Team USA's scoring with a two-run single in the top of the seventh. Watley was 1-for-3 with a run scored, while Flowers and Stacey Nuveman were also in the starting lineup.
Beach Volleyball
The U.S. beach volleyball team of former UCLA All-American Elaine Youngs and Nicole Branagh easily swept Cuba's Dalixia Fernandez Grasset and Tamara Larrea Peraza on Thursday night in 38 minutes, 21-15, 21-13.
Youngs and Branagh will face China's Chen Xue and Xi Zhang in the quarterfinals on Saturday at 7 p.m. PT (Sunday at 10 a.m. Beijing time).
Youngs and Branagh lost the first point of the first set, but then scored the next two and never trailed for the rest of the match. Up 4-3, the U.S. team scored four in a row, with two of the points coming on a Youngs kill and ace. The Cuban team got to within two points a few times, but could get no closer. Leading 15-13, Youngs and Branagh scored six of the final eight points to win 21-15.
The second set was a wire-to-wire victory for Youngs and Branagh. The Cubans were tied at six and seven, but could not take the lead. Towards the end of the set, Youngs and Branagh were up 17-13 and scored the last four points to win it 21-13.
Track & Field
Bruin alum Jonathan Williams, who competes for Belize, ran 49.61 out of lane eight in heat one of the 400m hurdles. Williams was fourth in his heat and 16th overall, qualifying him for the semifinal round, which will be contested at 6:24 am PT on Saturday morning.
Suzy Powell-Roos posted a first round throw of 190-4 in the preliminary rounds of the discus but will not advance to the medal final. She finished the competition 15th in her flight and 26th overall.

As the markets get over their two-day long little blip of hope at Draghi's announcement and look for the meat, the focus will return to Greece. Unusually the Guardian has secured a column today from a relatively sane correspondent (the Blessed Simon Jenkins excluded, of course) in Costas Lapavistas.
Banks are at the epicentre of the eurozone crisis, not states. The solution would have been to shut down bad banks and create healthy ones across Europe. But this would have meant German and French taxpayers bearing the costs of restructuring Italian and Spanish banks: an impossibility. Thus, national banking systems have been allowed to drift closer to their own nation states during the past three years: banks have relied on their own states to be rescued, and states have relied on their own banks to borrow. The result has been the fragmentation of eurozone banking, producing enormous divergences in interest rates among member countries. The monetary union is collapsing from within.But Costas makes the fundamental error so often exposed by Richard North in supposing that the EU's leaders are struggling to find economic solutions to what is in essence a political crisis; as is becoming clear, the economic measures are just a sop to the markets to keep things ticking along whilst they ratchet up political union to the next stage.
So when Greece (to her eventual benefit) is pushed out of the euro-balloon her citizens can rest assured they have been sacrificed for the greater good of a core European State. One may excuse them for resenting that everyone's been pretending that their fundamental economic strength is greater than it was in the 1970s.

I *love* how they objected to the deposition that Pietz was an integral part of, due to "lack of personal knowledge."
That is awesomesauce.
I accuse you of murder and rape. Under CAS process, I need no evidence other than this email saying you murdered and raped, and you would be immediately convicted. If you would like to appeal your sentence, you may pay a fee and then prove that you did not in fact murder and rape. While your conviction is under appeal, the sentence will still be carried out.
Do you see the difference here?
VPN and Proxy use has nothing to do with the redirect. It masks the IP address of the internet usage to begin with, resulting in a total of ZERO strikes against the user.
Hence, no need to have the injection.
Exactly. If some moron can't look up VPN or Proxy after 5 notices, they deserve to be cut off from the web.

Don't worry. This whole Aaron Swartz thing will blow over, and the Department of ICE will be back to their seizures by the next Superbowl.
I was about to write just that...
So he's related to Kim Jong-Il in Team America?
"I am so ronery!"
I think enough of us have been reposting it, that they gave up. I posted it again an hour ago, even misattributing it to someone else, and got no response at all
All the 3 accounts that responded to me are suspended now.
Dammit, what does a guy have to do for a little Troll Love on Valentines Day?
I am tempted to download some Prenda Porn.
I did just this... But both the onpress accounts that responded to me were suspended within 45 minutes... No play time for me :(
This is a script... Got the same response within 30 seconds of tweeting this. Another boilerplate "we do this all the time" response to my good luck.
I was told by a neighbor that someone at Bob's house practices witchcraft. They sent a snapshot of candles being burned. As it is statistically more probable that a female would be the witch, we investigated bob's household, but having not found a female presence, we assume it must be him practicing witchcraft.
Your test for witchcraft, while accurate, amounts to due process giving him the opportunity to prove he is not a witch. If we are truly to follow the same tactics, we should simply burn him at the stake, and if he wants to appeal afterwards, he may pay a $50 administration fee.
Or a VPN. It's cheaper than licensing the desktop VMs from Microsoft.
And they're already widely available.
Wouldn't the smart thing be to hook the camera into the car battery, so as to prevent such a problem?
I suspect it is more likely that the Police Union demanded it to prevent recording of "private matters" that happen on the job. On occasion, we all have to make phone calls home, etc while at work. Even the police, while on the job, have the right to some form of privacy during those situations.
I recommend giving them a button to "redact" the footage by flicking a switch. Similar to commercial skipping technology in DVR's. Don't erase it, but mark it so that any normal monitoring of said footage would be "skipped" unless there was specific reason to go back and view it - such as a claim of excessive force.
Umm... I am going to say Google should take the easy way out here...
If they want it taken down, do it. Take down HBO's shit. Then, when HBO asks why, point to this, and make sure everybody hears your answer of "because you asked me to."
When Righthaven finally got bitchslapped into oblivion, I was sad. I didn't know where to turn for my Stoopid Troll entertainment.
Then I figured out how to "Keep Calm and Carreon" (You see what I did there?) but that seems to have been short lived too.
But now, I have John Steele and Prenda Law. I have to tune in daily to see what antics they will be up to next. Every day it's a new episode! I want to see what silly things Brett Gibbs will get into today. Will he finally get the discovery he seeks? Or will the real Alan Cooper one day mysteriously walk into the courtroom? What role does John Steele play in all of this? The season finale is heating up to be one of TechDirt's most exciting ever.
I miss the days when they would just fill an inflatable swimming pool with jello, and settle these disputes woman to woman...
On the one hand, I'd love to see the troll sent back to zero revenue plus court costs...
But that gives incentive to the people the trolls go after to say "someone else will pony up for this one, and I'll claim back after."
I'd like to see the person who smashes the troll receive more incentive to fight, like being awarded costs plus punative...

The (Young) Rascals
- Felix Cavaliere
- Eddie Brigati
- Gene Cornish
- Dino Danelli
The epitome of blue-eyed soul.
The Rascals set themselves above the pack with their excellent songwriting and instinct for adaptation. Their masterful pop-soul singles landed them a string of Sixties hits.
The Rascals (a.k.a. the Young Rascals) were paragons of "blue-eyed soul"—that is, soul and R&B music by white performers.
Other well-known purveyors include the Righteous Brothers, Steve Winwood, Van Morrison and Joe Cocker. However, no one among them had more commercial clout in the Sixties than the Rascals. The group built its sound around Felix Cavaliere's Hammond B-3 organ and the soulful lead vocals of Cavaliere and Eddie Brigati.
In Cavaliere's words, "Marvin Gaye's voice, Ray Charles' piano, Jimmy Smith's organ, Phil Spector's production and the Beatles' writing—put them all together and you've got what I wanted to do." The Rascals were masters of the three-minute single: sustained bursts of energized pop-soul made to be blasted over transistor radios or danced to at parties and discotheques. Three of the four members had played in Joey Dee and the Starliters (of "Peppermint Twist" fame), and all could legitimately claim backgrounds in R&B.
The Rascals formed in early 1965 when Cavaliere, Brigati and guitarist Gene Cornish left the Starliters and recruited drummer Dino Danelli. Manager Sid Bernstein got them signed to Atlantic Records after the group turned heads at Manhattan's Phone Booth nightclub. Their first single, "I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore," stalled at Number Fifty-Two but its followup, "Good Lovin'," went to Number One in March 1966. Several strong pop-R&B singles followed, including "You Better Run" (Number Twenty) and "I've Been Lonely Too Long (Number Sixteen). Then the Rascals underwent a radical shift in direction.
Inspired by sweeping changes in the youth culture of the Sixties, they took a mellower, more atmospheric approach to their music. Their intuitions proved sound when "Groovin'," a soulful reverie about "groovin' on a sunny afternoon," shot to Number One in the spring of 1967. By the end of the year, the Rascals were venturing into psychedelia with effects-laden songs like "It's Wonderful" (Number Twenty). This was their last single to be credited to the Young Rascals. They reverted to their original name, the Rascals, with the release of "A Beautiful Morning" in 1968. They also switched from juvenile Lord Fauntleroy onstage outfits to a more mature, individualistic style of dress.
The Rascals' biggest hit, "People Got to Be Free," was co-written by Cavaliere and Brigati. While many thought the song was related to the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, it was recorded before the latter's death. In fact, it was partly a reaction to an ugly encounter during which a group of locals threatened the long-haired group after their tour vehicle broke down in Fort Pierce, Florida. It topped the charts for five weeks and inspired a followup single, "A Ray of Hope," written for Teddy Kennedy. At this juncture, the Rascals began focusing on albums instead of singles, as was typical of the time. A more experimental approach resulted in records like Freedom Suite, a double album from 1969. The group also took a principled stand for integration, insisting that any bill they perform on include black artists.
By the early Seventies, the Rascals—minus Brigati and Cornish, and with the addition of several new members—had moved from Atlantic to Columbia Records and from punchy pop-soul to mellow jazz-rock. This shift marked a continuing process of evolution for a band that had been pop-soul sharpshooters with an unerring eye on the Top Forty only a few years earlier. The Rascals last album, The Island of Real, appeared in 1972, and the group disbanded shortly thereafter.
Inductees: Eddie Brigati (vocals, tambourine; born October 22, 1946), Felix Cavaliere (vocals, organ; born November 29, 1942), Gene Cornish (vocals, guitar, harmonica, bass; born May 14, 1944), Dino Danelli (drums; born July 23, 1944)

About Bachelor Gulch
Grand homes with exquisite mountain architecture featuring massive logs and rustic stonework make up the unmistakable sense of place found in Bachelor Gulch. Gated entrances offer an extra level of exclusivity, and there's not a single property that doesn't feature impressive views of the valley below and the jagged peaks of the Gore Mountain Range and Castle Peak in the distance. Bachelor Gulch has its own ski slopes, with a chairlift that serves the Ritz Carlton Bachelor Gulch, and trails that provide a village-to-village ski experience from Beaver Creek to Bachelor Gulch to Arrowhead. There's also a gondola connection to the Westin Riverfront in Avon at the base of Bachelor Gulch. It's the only residential ski neighborhood considered entirely on-mountain in the Vail Valley. While the Bachelor Gulch ski trails are part of Beaver Creek Resort, they feel much more private and less traveled. It's easy for residents to head out for a few runs without a lot of fuss getting in and out of the resort. Ski trails offer excellent hiking and biking during the summer and fall months, and the pristine golf club in neighboring Beaver Creek features challenging holes and expansive views to round out summertime fun. Bachelor Gulch is perfect for the buyer looking for privacy and luxury. Bachelor Gulch real estate is mostly known for high-end single-family homes, but luxury condominiums and fractional units are available through the residence club at the Ritz-Carlton® Bachelor Gulch.
