More Xbox 360 Rumors
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Video Games,
We have been keeping you up to date on the latest Xbox 360° rumors as they appear, but this one takes the cake. Claiming they have an inside source, Kotaku has revealed more Xbox 360° details. If they are right, the next Xbox will certainly look a lot better looking than the first – it will be a sleek silver set top worthy of being a countertop display, have curves instead of angles, and will be able to stand upright much like the PS2. Its side will have an oversized back-lit power button, nicnamed "The Ring of Light". This Xbox will also be easy to customize with the use of colorful designer face plates that simply pop on and off. Even the dashboard will be customizable to fit each user's unique taste. Kotaku was even able to confirm some of the inner workings of the Xbox 360°. The console will feature high definition audio/video, include wireless controllers, and will come in two packages – one with an internal hard drive and another without the hard drive. According to Kotaku's source, Microsoft has not been able to achieve backward compatible functionality on its next box - but they are working on making it happen. This information confirms some rumors that we have been informing you about, but we must stress that this information has to be considered a rumor until official confirmation is made public by Microsoft. Until that day comes, we can drool over these details.

Leviton LE&AP Competes With Microsoft For Media Control
Posted by Categories: Home Entertainment, Internet, Movies, Music,
I know structured wiring and home automation aren't exactly at the tip of your tongue. All I can say is that it will be. If you want to be able to integrate all of your high tech audio and video toys with your home entertainment systems, and build them into multi room designs, you will need both home automation and structured wiring. The reason I mention this is that Leviton has announced that it is releasing the LE&AP, a multimedia hard drive distribution unit for its structured wiring enclosures. With a Linux based operating system, the LE&AP allows you to distribute your digital music and videos across multiple platforms. Send your MP3's to your stereo and your digital videos and digital camera images to the televisions. The distribution unit will also share out your broadband connection. I'm an MCSE and I'm going to be looking at this way before I look at mounting a computer with windows media system loaded on it.
This is an 8-zone commercial grade gateway and firewall, with 4 USB expansion ports, and a 120 GB internal drive. It can be upgraded to larger storage capacity as well as software upgrades. From the looks of the system eventually it will integrate with your security and home control devices as well.
With basic audio and video connections as well as advanced digital connections, the unit connects to your TV or stereo and uses your home network for communications. With the remote and some easy to use menus on the TV homeowners can browse and select all of their audio, video and photo storage.

Xbox Power Cord Recall Notice
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Video Games,
Microsoft has issued a recall notice on the power cord of Xbox consoles made before Jan. 13, 2004 in Continental Europe, and units made for the rest of the world before Oct. 23, 2003 - Xbox's built after those days were built in such a way that the failure does not occur. The recall is due to a defect on some boxes that lead to minor singe burns and scorched carpets or entertainment centers. According to reports to Microsoft's customer service and warranty repair data, the failure rate is about 1 in 10,000 units. That may seem like a small percentage, but why take the chance? Xbox owners may order a replacement through the Xbox website or by calling the toll free number for their respective country.

Apple OS X Tiger Shipping in April? June?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Software,
You know we gotta keep you in the loop as it pertains to the Apple rumor mill. While it isn't yet official, it appears that the ship date for Apple OS X 10.4 (a.k.a. Tiger) will be June 30th 2005. Now, that works…except for the fact that ThinkSecret reported that Apple is "working hard on Final Cut Pro 5 and will use the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) conference in mid-April to debut the software." The report also states that "Final Cut Pro 5 will require Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and will take advantage of the new Core Video technology, which functions as a bridge between QuickTime and a supported video card to deliver hardware-accelerated video processing." This seems to imply that if Final Cut Pro 5 is going to debut in April, and will require OS X Tiger to run, that Tiger should also be available in mid-April. It's tough being a super sleuth.
Oh, and the image to the right is what is believed to be the final packaging box.

bbBuddy Keeps Track of Your Words
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Internet,
We all spend a lot of time writing textual content on the net. This content comes in many forms such as movie reviews at Yahoo, posts on a message board, and even comments on a blog. For some sites such as Slashdot, its user submitted comments are the sites main attraction. But who owns this content - the original author or the site that displays the content? Forget about what the law officially states, for all intents and purposes, it is the site that controls the content. They control the user submitted content, and if the site disappears so will the said content. There have been documented cases of sites shutting down and people no longer having access to their work. Even most message boards do not retain every post. Its amazing that more people don't store their posts in some fashion. Literally hours ago a new web application launched that allows its members to store, organize and download all of their textual content. It also allows members to add del.icio.us-like labels to their posts. These labels are aggregated at the single member and community levels, so you can view all of your posts labeled "NFL" and you can also view all of the community's posts labeled "NFL". The main benefit of course is that it gives the author control of their textual content. Try it http://www.bbBuddy.com.
Pioneer CDJ-200 Is Ready To Mix It Up
Posted by Categories: Music,
DJ's have converted from vinyl to CDs, and Pioneer aims to make their jobs even easier. The original CDJ-100 played CDR/RWs and had excellent jog wheel control. The new CDJ-200 adds many welcome features. With cue/loop memory, MP3 support, digital outputs and new loop editing features, this player has become its own mobile club. I think this should make for some interesting changes in the local club music scene as well as future re-mixes.

Firefox Pop-up Blocker Bug
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Internet,
One thing that gives Firefox its mass appeal is it's solid pop-up blocker. Now Mozilla's pop-up blocker is being challenged. There are some websites that have found a way around the blocker after its first pop-up is blocked. One such website is Ngemu.com; Firefox and Mozilla will both block the first pop-up, however after the user clicks on a link such as "XBOX", a pop up appears. Bugzilla's website contains a bug report of the problem including the source code for the work around.

New XBOX 360 Information
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Video Games,
There are two new rumors floating around about Microsoft's next generation gaming console. According to The Inquirer, the XBOX 360 will come standard with wireless controllers. Hopefully the battery life will be improved as well. We can probably expect Sony to follow in the same path. The next rumor involves the XBOX 360's GPU. Of course this information, just like the rest, is not yet confirmed, but here are the specs:
- 24 Pipelines
- 32 Texture Units
- 96 Arithmetic Logic Units (ALU)
- 192 Shader Operations per Cycle
- 700MHz Core
- 134.4 Billion Shader Operations per Second (at 700MHz)
- 256-bit 512MB 1.8GHz GDDR3 Memory
- 57.6 GB/sec Bandwidth (at 1.8GHz)
- 300-350 Million Transistors
- 90nm Manufacturing
- Shader Model 3.0
- ATI HyperMemory
- ATI Multi Rendering Technology (AMR)
- Launch: Q2 2005
- 16x stochastic FSAA
- FP32 blending, texturing
- Programmable Primitive Processor/Tesselator
As you can see, the next XBOX will have a very powerfull GPU. With performance higher than a Radeon X800, we can assume the XBOX 360 to put a very big dent on our wallets - that is, of course, if the source that reported this information is correct.

Tune Your Car with a Gameboy Advance
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Mods / Hacks, Software,
Finally someone has invented a way for us to continue using our GBA, in light of the DS and the upcoming PSP. It's called the DTEC, by TurboXS. The DTEC plugs into your handheld and comes preloaded with software that lets you use your Gameboy to gauge exhaust gas temperature, air temperature, and vehicle boost, among other things. You can also purchase additional sensors and hardware to monitor other systems, like knock indication and vehicle acceleration (ie. G-Force). But check out the DTEC hardware that actually needs to plug into your GBA. Talk about unwieldly. Coming in October to an obsolete GBA near you.

Free Mobile Web Hack on Verizon Wireless
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Smartphones,
Check it out, you can now use Mobile Web on your Verizon Wireless phone, and not pay the $4.99 per month charge to Verizon to do so. In fact, this is a perfectly legal alternative, because you are simply using a different server than the one Verizon Wireless provides. This hack works for any Verizon Wireless phone that supports Mobile Web 1.0 - 2.0. All you need to do is go into the setup menu and make a couple of changes.

EDIT: I should have been more clear. Use MobileWEB4U to find out how to access the appropriate menu on your phone where you change servers. Once you find the menu, enter a proxy server. You can find one at http://www.publicproxyservers.com.
You must also enter both the proxy server address as well as the port it uses. If you don't have both, it won't work.

Metadot, the makers of the new Ultimate Keyboard didn't: it also skips all that troublesome bother of having labelled keys. Presumably it's in the name of coolness, since the whole thing looks pretty slick and has precision-engineered, gold-plated switches that click like the legendary IBM Model M. There's also twin USB ports, obligatory blue LED lights and a 6-foot black cable. And it'll cost you US$129.

Flux balance analysis (FBA) has been shown to be a very useful technique for analysis of metabolic capabilities of cellular systems. A chemical system can be described by a set of differential equations. For instance, suppose a chemical system has two reactions: A + B -> C at rate V1 and C -> A at rate V2. This system ccan be described by the differential equations: d(A)/dt = V2 + V1, d(B)/dt = -V1, and d(C)/dt = V1 - V2. A system is at steady state when all three derivatives (rates of change) are 0. FBA involves carrying out a steady state analysis, using the stoichiometric matrix for the system in question.
The system is assumed to be optimised with respect to functions such as maximisation of biomass production or minimisation of nutrient utilisation, following which it is solved to obtain a steady state flux distribution. This flux distribution is then used to interpret the metabolic capabilities of the system. The dynamic mass balance of the metabolic system is described using the stoichiometric matrix, relating the flux rates of enzymatic reactions, to time derivatives of metabolite concentrations, as
where signifies the internal fluxes, represents the exchange fluxes in the system and is the number of external metabolites in the system. At steady state,
Therefore, the required flux distribution belongs to the null space of . Since , the system is under-determined and may be solved for fixing an optimisation criterion, following which, the system translates into a linear programming problem:
where represents the objective function composition, in terms of the fluxes. Further, we can constrain:
which necessitates all internal irreversible reactions to have a flux in the positive direction and allows exchange fluxes to be in either direction. Practically, a finite upper bound can be imposed, so that the problem does not become unbounded. This upper bound may also be decided based on the knowledge of cellular physiology.
FBA also has the capabilities to address effect of gene deletions and other types of perturbations on the system. Gene deletion studies can be performed by constraining the reaction flux(es) corresponding to the gene(s) (and therefore, of their corresponding proteins(s)), to zero. Effects of inhibitors of particular proteins can also be studied in a similar way, by constraining the upper bounds of their fluxes to any defined fraction of the normal flux, corresponding to the extents of inhibition.

Punishment for Child Sacrifice
20 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Say to the people of Israel, oAny one of the people of Israel or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones. 3 pI myself will set my face against that man and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given one of his children to Molech, to make my sanctuary qunclean and rto profane my holy name. 4 And if the people of the land do at all close their eyes to that man when he gives one of his children to Molech, and do not sput him to death, 5 then I will set my face against that man and against his clan and will cut them off from among their people, him and all who follow him in twhoring after Molech.
6 "If ua person turns to mediums and necromancers, whoring after them, vI will set my face against that person and will cut him off from among his people. 7 wConsecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, for I am the Lord your God. 8 xKeep my statutes and do them; yI am the Lord who sanctifies you. 9 For zanyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death; he has cursed his father or his mother; ahis blood is upon him.
Punishments for Sexual Immorality
10 "If a bman commits adultery with the wife of1 his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. 11 cIf a man lies with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. 12 dIf a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have committed eperversion; their blood is upon them. 13 fIf a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. 14 gIf a man takes a woman and her mother also, it is depravity; he and they shall be burned with fire, that there may be no depravity among you. 15 hIf a man lies with an animal, he shall surely be put to death, and you shall kill the animal. 16 hIf a woman approaches any animal and lies with it, you shall kill the woman and the animal; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
17 i"If a man takes his sister, a daughter of his father or a daughter of his mother, and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a disgrace, and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people. He has uncovered his sister's nakedness, and he shall bear his iniquity. 18 jIf a man lies with a woman during her menstrual period and uncovers her nakedness, he has made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from among their people. 19 kYou shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister or of your father's sister, for that is to make naked lone's relative; they shall bear their iniquity. 20 mIf a man lies with his uncle's wife, he has uncovered his uncle's nakedness; they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless. 21 nIf a man takes his brother's wife, it is impurity.2 He has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.
22 o"You shall therefore keep all my statutes and all my rules and do them, that the land where I am bringing you to live may not pvomit you out. 23 qAnd you shall not walk in the customs of the nation that I am driving out before you, for they did all these things, and therefore I detested them. 24 But rI have said to you, 'You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess, a land sflowing with milk and honey.' I am the Lord your God, twho has separated you from the peoples. 25 uYou shall therefore separate the clean beast from the unclean, and the unclean bird from the clean. You shall not make yourselves detestable by beast or by bird or by anything with which the ground crawls, which I have set apart for you to hold unclean. 26 vYou shall be holy to me, wfor I the Lord am holy and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be mine.
27 x"A man or a woman who is a medium or a necromancer shall surely be put to death. They shall be ystoned with stones; ztheir blood shall be upon them."

The Jets have sent down another handful to St John's for the opening of Training Camp for the IceCaps. Though none of the players on the list are likely NHL quality or necessarily should have lasted longer, the Jets are starting to raise questions about whether they are even using pre-season or training camp to evaluate talent. The list and some comments to follow.
The List
- Ben Chiarot
- Michael Hutchinson
- Carl Klingberg
- Julian Melchiori
- Jerome Samson
The Story
We talked after the last cuts about how strange it was that the team opted for another weekend of Ben Chiarot over Ian White or a lesser known asset like Brenden Kichton. The Jets followed the expected pattern for their camp by putting Chiarot down today. His case suggests the Jets have a roster in mind, and are making cuts based more on who won't be harmed by being late to camp in St John's rather than who the best players in Jets' camp are.
Melchiori is the other defencemen sent down, leaving 5 pairs among the Jets remaining 32 players. He showed well in limited pre-season action, and raised his stock in my eyes as a multi-tool defender. Showed calm feet when moved onto a pairing with Trouba after the Trouba/Chiarot pair had imploded before 20 minutes had expired against the Capitals. Whether the organization thinks more highly of him is uncertain, but the people ahead of him on left-defence aren't exactly an All-Star squad. His chance in the organization is the 2014 training camp, with Stuart's and Pardy's contracts expiring, and Josh Morrissey not yet a lock for the big club. We could see a cup of coffee for the 21 year old former 3rd rounder this year.
Hutchinson was an obvious AHL hire, but was arguably battling Pasquale more than Montoya to be noticed. Pasquale goes again tonight against the Oilers, while Hutchinson heads down to battle Olkinuora to play AHL games. The Jets are accumulating a lot of AHL capable, or NHL bubble goal tenders (including Pavelec – rim shot!), and it's hard to know if any will emerge with a career in the franchise. What we do know is that someone is going to play ECHL games this season. Hutchinson spent two years splitting time between the ECHL and AHL before playing as the back-up in Providence last year. My best bet is that Olkinuora is given a similar path by the team – not because of talent, but based solely on dues-paying, which seems to be a box on the player evaluation forms used by this management group. The wildcard is Montoya going through waivers a week from now.
The forwards sent down never saw time on the line they were ostensibly trying out to play on. Klingberg had a solid pre-season, looking often like an NHL bubble player. His speed is very good, he has size, he's physical, and he even scored a goal in under 21 minutes of game action through two games played. His offence has been shy of NHL relevant while playing for the IceCaps, but it's hard to believe a team with a 'build from within' mantra is giving such paltry minutes to a prospect with Klingberg's attributes and pedigree, especially since the door is closing fast on Klingberg to make an impression. With 5 games played by the team, Klingberg got into two of them but only played with O'Dell as his centre, and played 4th line minutes. It seems the team has made their mind up on the 22 year old Swede.
Jerome Samson is another AHL hire, but was considered an NHL prospect just a couple seasons ago in Carolina after scoring a point-per-game two seasons straight for the Checkers. On a team with the worst powerplay in the league last year, who already employ three specialists – Slater for faceoffs and penalty kill, Thorburn for fighting, and Peluso for fighting – the fact that they let a possible powerplay specialist go to St John's with 21 seconds of powerplay time and just 20 minutes of total ice time through 2 games in pre-season is absolutely laughable.
None of these players deserve a shot on the NHL club over another player. Instead, my point is that all of them were given an impossibly small opportunity to impress the coaching staff in-game, and the opportunity did not match what they could provide to an NHL club. Practices are hockey when the coaches have made your decisions for you, and scrimmages are hockey played without emotion or full-contact. They tell a coach a partial picture of a player, but pre-season games exist for a reason. Klingberg and Samson were given 20 minutes on the ice to convince the team they had what it takes, and they were given bubble linemates on top of it.
Chiarot remained in camp longer than players who are better than him by eye and math. Tonight, Andrew Gordon is to play between Cormier and Thorburn, likely for 8-10 minutes, and Al Montoya sits while Pasquale dresses for his 4th contest, and for his second start of the pre-season.
It seems the team isn't using this opportunity for evaluation seriously, giving minutes to their intended starters and simply using training camp attendees to spell the real Jets. We can't know if Carl Klingberg or Jerome Samson would do better than Wright, or Thorburn, or Tangradi, or even than Telegin or Halischuk or Gordon. In an evidence-based environment, those questions would matter. It seems the Jets are slanting the ice to prove their roster on paper is the best roster they could possibly dress. It's a waste of pre-season.

High cholesterol can put you at a higher risk of stroke, but your exact risk depends on your overall health, including any other stroke risk factors you may have:
- Stroke risk factors you can't control
- High cholesterol and other stroke risk factors you can control
Stroke risk factors you can't control
If you have high cholesterol, you're already at risk of a stroke. But your risk may be even higher if you have one or more of the following risk factors that can't be controlled:
- age: Strokes can happen at any age but are more common after 65.
- gender: Men have a higher risk of stroke, while women's stroke risk goes up after menopause.
- family history: Your stroke risk is higher if a close family member such as a parent, sibling, or child has had a stroke before age 65.
- ethnic background: Strokes are more common in people of First Nations, African, or South Asian ancestry.
- personal history of a stroke or TIA: People who have already suffered a stroke have a 20% chance of having another stroke in the next 2 years.
If you have some of these risk factors, don't be discouraged! Focus on managing your cholesterol and dealing with other risk factors you can control.
Talk to your doctor to find out about your stroke risk and what you can do to reduce it.
To find out your risk of having a stroke in the next 10 years, use the stroke risk assessment calculator.
High cholesterol and other stroke risk factors you can control
High cholesterol is a major risk factor for stroke. You may be at an even higher risk if you have any of these other controllable risk factors:
Lifestyle factors:
- being overweight (use the body mass index [BMI] calculator to see if you are overweight)
- eating an unhealthy diet (low in fruits and vegetables and high in sodium and saturated or trans fat)
- not getting enough exercise (this applies only to people whose doctor has given them approval to exercise. For these people, current guidelines recommend 30 to 60 minutes of moderate-intensity activity on 4 to 7 days of the week. Check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program or becoming more physically active)
- smoking
- drinking too much alcohol (more than 2 drinks per day or 10 drinks per week for women or more than 3 drinks per day or 15 drinks per week for men)
- stress
Making a few simple lifestyle changes can help you reduce your stroke risk.
Other medical conditions that can increase your stroke risk:
- atrial fibrillation: causes an abnormal heartbeat, which makes blood pool and clot in the heart. These clots can move to the brain and cause a stroke. Learn more about atrial fibrillation and stroke risk reduction.
- diabetes: increases the risk of high blood pressure and damages the blood vessels, both of which can cause a stroke. Learn more about diabetes and stroke risk reduction.
- high blood pressure: damages blood vessels so they are more likely to clog up or burst, leading to a stroke. Learn more about high blood pressure and stroke risk reduction.
Managing cholesterol and getting other medical conditions under control can go a long way toward reducing the risk of a stroke.
Some people may have other risk factors for stroke. Talk to your doctor to find out about how to reduce your risk of stroke due to high cholesterol and other risk factors.

Las Vegas officer fired in shooting case
Officer Jesus Arevalo has been fired for policy violations stemming from the fatal shooting an unarmed Gulf War veteran
Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — A Las Vegas police officer has been fired for policy violations for fatally shooting an unarmed Gulf War veteran in a vehicle in a chaotic scene in December 2011 that sparked calls for reforms in departmental use-of-force policies.
Jesus Arevalo was dismissed after Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie upheld findings by an in-house review panel that Arevalo "lacked the ability to make sound decisions in situations routinely faced by police officers," a department statement said Wednesday.
Arevalo, 36, a Las Vegas police officer for more than 11 years, had been on paid leave for the 22 months since the shooting death of Stanley Gibson.
His dismissal Tuesday was believed to be a first for the department — at least since the Las Vegas police and Clark County sheriff departments merged 40 years ago. Gillespie has said he couldn't recall another officer ever being fired for an on-duty shooting.
The shooting spurred calls by the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada and National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for a federal Justice Department investigation. Instead, officials from the federal Community Oriented Policing Services program conducted a review of departmental use-of-force policies.
A COPS official last month credited Las Vegas police with upgrading training, keeping better track of how and when officers use deadly force, and instituting a pilot program to put cameras on the uniforms of some officers.
Chris Collins, executive director of the Las Vegas Police Protective Association, declined Wednesday to comment on Arevalo's dismissal.
Gibson's widow, Rondha Gibson, didn't immediately respond to a message through a spokesman.
Her lawyer in a federal wrongful death lawsuit against the department said Arevalo's dismissal for policy violations was justified, but wouldn't change the lawsuit asking a judge to address police supervisory mistakes and poor planning.
"It is what we were hoping would occur, unfortunately it was for different issues from the ones involved in our case," attorney Cal Potter told The Associated Press. "It was all just a recipe for disaster, the way they handled it."
Gibson remained locked in his car for more than an hour at a northwest Las Vegas apartment complex, with his car pinned between two police cruisers as officers with weapons drawn commanded him to surrender. Gibson's spinning tires generated billows of acrid blue smoke before Arevalo opened fire with an assault-style rifle.
A grand jury refused to indict officers in the case, and Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson determined in April that mistakes were made, but no criminal charges would be filed against Arevalo.
The DA issued a report saying Arevalo thought he was shooting in self-defense when he heard another officer fire a beanbag shotgun to break a side window of Gibson's vehicle. Police said they didn't know Gibson was unarmed, and had planned to inject pepper spray through the space to force him to surrender.
Gibson, who suffered from severe anxiety and depression, had shown signs of mental distress in the 36 hours before the fatal encounter. He was jailed briefly on a resisting police charge, found wandering in a street, taken to a Las Vegas hospital for a psychiatric evaluation and released with instructions to check back two days later.
Rondha Gibson said he may have become disoriented driving home.
He was shot in an apartment complex near where they used to live.
In September, Community Oriented Policing Services said the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department had addressed or completed all but nine of 80 reforms called for in a report the agency made public almost a year ago. A final COPS report is expected next year.
After peaking at 25 shootings in 2010, Las Vegas police were involved in 17 officer-involved shootings in 2011 and 11 in 2012, including four fatal cases.

Statue of Indian Spy Unveiled in Britain
A bronze sculpture of a princess of Indian origin who spied for the British government during World War II and was killed by the Nazis was unveiled in London on Thursday.
Noor Inayat Khan, a Muslim of royal Indian origin, was recruited by British secret services in 1943 to operate in German-controlled France as a radio operator. She was later captured and killed in a concentration camp on Sept. 13, 1944. She was 30.
This is the first time the U.K. honors an Asian woman with a permanent memorial. Pictured below, the bust of Noor Inayat Khan was unveiled in London's Gordon Square Gardens, Thursday.
Khan was born to an Indian father and an American mother in Moscow in 1914. She is a descendant of Tipu Sultan, former ruler of the southern Indian city of Mysore. Below, Britain's Princess Anne paid homage to Khan's statue.
Below, members of the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry, an all-female volunteer army unit, were present at the unveiling ceremony in London. Khan was recruited as a spy from this unit.
In recognition for her bravery, last year the British government posthumously awarded her the George Cross, the country's highest civilian decoration.
"It is impossible not to be moved deeply by Noor Inayat Khan's bravery in the face of capture, interrogation, and harsh imprisonment, and by her cruel death met with indomitable courage," Prime Minister David Cameron said at the time. He added that the award pays tribute "to the inspiring self-sacrifice of a young Muslim woman who fought in British ranks in the world-wide struggle against racism and oppression."

One of the cooler forms of racing in the world is Super Trucks. Basically, they're high powered big rigs running around race tracks. Sounds like big fun.
And when it goes wrong, like it did over the weekend, it also goes wrong in a big way.
Brazilian Super Truck racer Diumar Bueno was practicing for the weekend's race at the Guaporé Circuit in Brazil. It was all going well.
Then his brakes failed.
He tried to scrub off speed by turning left through the grass, but it wasn't enough. He crashed head on into a wall at 119 MPH, and then flew down a 45 foot embankment. From all appearances, you'd expect him to be dead.
But no! He's not. He did break both of his legs and an arm, and is certainly in a lot of pain, but he didn't die. Racing safety surely has come a long way.
(Thanks to all y'all for the tips!)

Anyone want to join the Society?
Beware the evils of Kit-Kats - they're immoral apparently.
I'm quite certain that any players who do not wish to represent CWland in U-19 cricket can opt out of it to play for their dev league sides, just like with any other representative cricket.Originally Posted by marc71178
It's cold on the outside they say
But the cold leaves you clear while the heat leaves a haze
The thing is if it were real life, a player who is a first choice in domestic cricket would not be dragged off to play a far lower level of game.
That's rubbish. Look at the recent U-19 WC. Plenty of the players were first class regulars, particularly from the sub-continent nations. Piyush Chawla had first class experience and was called up to the test side a week after the final. Henriques played for NSW in the ING Cup final just after the WC, and played for them before it as well.Originally Posted by marc71178
Players who were international players would obviously not be called up to play U-19 cricket, but representative junior cricket certainly takes priority over dev league stuff.
I highly doubt anyone will say no, even if they felt like it. Because if they say no someone will bring up all the stuff from the apst about people refusing to play certain games for the CWXI. Then they might get suspended or sumthnig of the type.
And as for Under 19's not being selected because they are FC regulars. I agree with Marc, there isnt many in real life as REAL regulars but if they are im pretty sure they would play an 'important' game before any under 19 cricket unless it was a world cup.
Henriques was never a regular for NSW and only played one, one day game before he played in the final. So i can see why he played for the Under 19;s b4 NSW.
Just my thoughts. And im not on the Under 19 committee (dissapointingly) so i dont have any real say in this.
I'm a FC specialist and I still made the team
Jaso, you're not an FC specialist.
EDIT: Also, to all those saying that this is a waste and so forth, it's notable that various players have already stated that they are unhappy to have missed out on being selected, so it shows that players consider this to be an important part of the Dev League. I agree, too - I feel a huge sense of pride and opportunity when I represent any squad selected to represent CWLand, be it the CWXI, the president's XI or (if I had been), the 'A' side or the U-19 squad. I think each and every one of these sides shows that you are being watched by the CWBCC for how you deal in international conditions and against a different kind of opponent.

Writer/director Gary Ross' adaptation of Suzanne Collins' hugely popular novel — a teen book that crossed over to the adult market — is one of this year's nicest surprises so far. Lionsgate's video release is also a pleasant surprise: They've gotten nearly everything right. There's no commentary track, but that will probably show up on some "super" or "ultimate" edition in the future.
As far as my old home-theater equipment and my even older biological equipment can tell, the video and audio quality is essentially perfect, reproducing the theatrical experience in all ways possible (since size, loudness, and a couple hundred other watchers in the room aren't possible … yet.)
The video quality is presumably in part because Lionsgate has put nothing but the film (and some trailers) on the first disc, making more room for the encoding. All the extras are gathered on the second disc — roughly three hours worth. The longest of these is "The World is Watching: Making the Hunger Games," which is also accessible as eight separate chapters focusing on specific subjects — casting, design, stunt work and the like. The great amount of detail makes up for the fact that — as in most such "making of" extras — everyone goes on about how wonderful and brilliant everyone else is. Do you really expect that cast and crew are going to dish gossip? Particularly when most of them will be working together on three sequels?
There are also six shorter featurettes, including a 15-minute conversation between Ross and Elvis Mitchell and an isolated version of the propaganda reel that is seen in the film with reaction shots. Best of all, however, is "Letters from the Rose Garden": Donald Sutherland reads out loud a letter he wrote Ross before the shoot, when he was working on developing his character. It's possibly the most intelligent, articulate piece about the film that I've read.
It's followed up by intercut interviews with the two, discussing the content. Great stuff.
"The Hunger Games" (Lionsgate Home Entertainment, 2-discs; Blu-ray, $39.99; DVD, $30.98)

OCEAN CITY — A resort police officer, who allegedly viciously beat a Severn man during an incident outside a resort nightclub last August, is seeking a dismissal of the case on a variety of grounds including a nearly blanket denial of the allegations.
In March, attorneys for Branden Thomas, 26, filed suit in U.S. District Court against Ocean City Police Pfc. Ryan Flanagan and the department alleging the officer of an unprovoked attack against Thomas outside a midtown nightclub in August. The suit seeks an undisclosed amount of damages to be determined at trial for several charges against the officer including assault and battery, false arrest, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution and violations of his Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights to freedom from seizure.
"It is alleged that the individual police officer defendant made an unreasonable seizure of the person of plaintiff Branden Thomas, thereby violating his rights under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution and that this individual police officer defendant battered the plaintiff and otherwise utilized excessive and unwarranted force during the course of said seizure," the complaint filed in March reads.
However, Flanagan's attorney, Ocean City Solicitor Guy Ayres, last week filed a formal answer to the complaint, systematically denying nearly every aspect of the complaint while denying knowledge of many other elements. Ayres' formal answer to the complaint seeks a dismissal of the case alleging Flanagan did not commit the alleged actions and is not guilty.
According to the complaint, Thomas, an employee of the Master Security Company, a private contractor that provides security services to the U.S. government, and two other companions were leaving a midtown nightclub on Aug. 16, 2012, and were walking through the parking lot en route to their hotel when they came upon a scene of Ocean City police officers arresting a man for assaulting a female. The female was injured and was bleeding from the nose when Thomas and his companions asked what had happened.
Thomas and his companions were informed the female victim had been assaulted by the male and suspect was being arrested. According to the complaint, Thomas and his friends expressed some verbal disdain as they continued walking about the assault on the female and subsequent arrest of the suspect when Flanagan allegedly told them to "shut up or be arrested," according to the complaint. Thomas then told Flanagan they were leaving and returning to their hotel and asked Flanagan, "arrested for what?"
According to the complaint, Thomas and his group continued to walk when Flanagan yelled for them to stop. Flanagan then closed the distance between he and Thomas and allegedly struck Thomas in the back left side of his head, near his neck, with a closed fist. The force of the strike caused Thomas to lose his balance and stumble to his right. Flanagan then allegedly pushed Thomas, causing him to fall to the ground and strike his head on the concrete.
According to the complaint, Flanagan then straddled Thomas and used his legs to pin Thomas' arms to his side. While Thomas was lying on the ground with Flanagan pinning his arms to his side, Flanagan allegedly struck Thomas roughly four times with a closed fist in his left temple, eye and jaw. Thomas was injured as a result of the assault and suffered a brief loss of consciousness.
Thomas was subsequently arrested and handcuffed. According to the complaint, Thomas had not physically resisted or otherwise assaulted the officer in any way and the force directed against him was "unnecessary, unreasonable and excessive."
Also, according to the complaint, at no time during the incident was Thomas a threat to the safety of himself, the Ocean City police officers responding to the scene or any other person present.
"As a result of this vicious assault, the plaintiff was clearly injured and in need of medical attention," the complaint reads. "The plaintiff was subsequently taken to the hospital for medical care and treatment where he had to undergo a CT scan of his head."
Flanagan issued a statement of probable cause and requested Thomas be charged with disorderly conduct, obstructing and hindering and failing to obey a reasonable and lawful police order. According to the complaint, the charges against Thomas were trumped up.
"Flanagan included a contrived and disingenuous characterization of the facts to support these charges and in an attempt to obfuscate his own misconduct," the complaint reads.
As part of his employment requirements, Thomas reported his arrest in Ocean City to his supervisors at Master Security Company. To obtain the position, Thomas was required to hold a security clearance, be licensed to hold and carry a firearm and fulfill other license requirements.
At the time of the incident last August, he was working security at St. Elizabeth's Department of Homeland Security headquarters in Washington, D.C. He was allowed to continue his employment until Oct. 31, 2012, because St. Elizabeth's had not yet opened to the public. However, when the facility was opened to the public on Nov. 1, Thomas was required to have a secret security clearance, which he was unable to obtain because of the pending charges against him in Worcester County from the incident in Ocean City in August.
"As a result of the arrest, he was unable to obtain a secret security clearance and was accordingly forced to take leave without pay pending the resolution of the spurious criminal charges advanced by the defendant Flanagan," the complaint reads.
On Jan. 30, all of the charges against Thomas were entered "nolle prosequi," or not prosecuted, and he was allowed to return to work around Feb. 14. However, by that time, there was no full-time position available to him at Master Security and he was forced to take a part-time position until a full-time placement became available.
Court records indicate the charges against Thomas were not prosecuted, but in his answer to the complaint, Ayres asserts the disposition of the case does not necessarily indicate Thomas was not guilty. As to the outcome of the criminal case against Thomas, Ayres admits the charges were nolle prosequi, but only after Thomas "completed community service, which the plaintiff sought to avoid prosecution," and further neither admits nor denies the employment allegations because he had no knowledge of them.
In his answer to the complaint filed last week, Ayres in general asserts Flanagan did not commit the wrongs alleged and that he is not guilty as alleged. Specifically, the motion to dismiss the suit categorically denies nearly every element of the suit, or neither admits or denies stating having knowledge certain elements. Flanagan denies the vicious assault but admits Thomas was taken to the hospital. He also admits the charges were filed against Thomas, but denies they were contrived.
In the affirmative defenses in Flanagan's answer, the complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. The answer also asserts the defendant is entitled to immunity, qualified immunity and good faith immunity. The answer also asserts Thomas is guilty of contributory negligence and guilty of an assumption of risk.
OCPD Public Information Officer Mike Levy said there was never a formal complaint filed against the officer. He said the department only learned about the allegations after being served with the court papers.

The EU has always maintained strong regard in protecting the individual's privacy about the processing of their data. This fundamental right is enshrined in many EU human rights legislation, and now, after great endeavours, this right is enforced throughout Europe and enforced by Europe rather than national legislation. As per Article 99, GDPR is "mandatory in all its elements and directly applicable in each Member State".
The European Data Privacy Directive of 1995, received overwhelming support in 2014 by the European Parliament. This has been tweaked and fine-tuned to impose and establish a wide range of rights for individuals, including the following:
Improved Data Portability
Allowing individuals to practice the right of accessing "my data," i.e. personal data held by organisations such as businesses and consumer groups.
In particular, this information can be used to compare the various money-saving websites to provide clear information to assist in decision-making processes about comparing such consumables as:
- Bank accounts
- Credit cards
- Credit reports
- Utility suppliers
- Mobile phones
The regulation establishes that individuals can enjoy the right to receive the requested personal data in a structured format and with the ability to transmit this data to another data controller.
Extra Protection on Profiling and Automated Decision Making
An impartial and independent body known as "Article 29 Working Party" has been working alongside the EU Commission since 1995, providing and publishing opinions and guidance throughout the journey. Their advice and guidelines on automated decision making and profiling of individuals are strict due to the genuine need to safeguard the rights and freedoms of individuals.
What exactly constitutes Profiling and Automated Decision Making, and when would they ever be legitimately utilized?
Organisations will use the data to predict online behavior; generally within the context of marketing purposes, for example, email marketing campaigns use profiling with the view to assist with the targeting of goods and services. The purpose is to predict an individual's' online behavior and make "automated decisions" regarding this behavior which leads to the second issue of Automated Decision Making.
The Working Party advice on automated decision making is clear, while it recognizes the benefits of these activities, it also points out that significant risks may arise for the rights and freedoms of individuals. This Law stipulates that individuals "have the right not to be the subject of a decision based solely on profiling or automated methods" when this is based on direct marketing.
It will be an interesting GDPR obligation journey in this respect to witness the reactions of big data-driven organisations and popular social networking organisations when it becomes the norm for individuals objecting at every turn to the processing of their data, including the creation of profiles to the extent that it is related to unwanted marketing.
