Selma Blair Pregnancy Overdue
Selma Blair Was Weeks Past Her Due Date, Were You?
Babies don't really care about doctor-designated due dates. Many first-time moms, like Selma Blair, tend to see their due dates pass with nary a contraction to show for it. The very pregnant star was spotted walking around LA several times over the weekend, reportedly more than two weeks past her due date — and it looks like all that walking paid off! Selma and her fashion designer boyfriend, Jason Bleick, welcomed son Arthur Saint Bleick Monday.
From walking to sex to eating pregnancy pizza, overdue women will try just about anything to entice their lil one's debut. Did you go past the 40-week mark with your first child? Share your due date anecdotes in the comments below.

About PAR & PAR2 Files
PAR/PAR2 files, or Parity files, are God's gift to the newsgroups. They are the answer to the problem of missing or damaged files in an archive. [PAR]ity files are used to reconstruct files that are missing or damaged.
PAR Files: A Look Back
What about this gift you say? Developed in 2001 and open source in nature, PAR recovery files changed the newsgroups overnight. When the first PAR files were implemented, they were designed to replace a file whether it was only slightly damaged or completely missing. During an archive's propagation throughout Usenet, it's not uncommon for an achive to suffer damage to a few files (or parts). Before there were PAR files, if an archive was damaged or a part was missing, the only recourse for the user was to request a repost. This approach had its problems. It could take a while for a repost to appear, or perhaps never happen. This was another contributing reason why the newsgroups remained an elusive method of information for a majority of users.
Figure 1: PAR Files At Work...
Once PAR files began accompanying archive posts, the newsgroup world changed overnight. Original PAR files worked in a 1:1 ratio; for every 1 archive part that was damaged or missing (for example, "A Great Movie.part01.rar"), you needed 1 PAR file of equal size to replace it (see Figure 1). There's an important distinction to make, original PAR files could not repair individual blocks (the smaller pieces that make up a part), PAR files could only replace the entire part. So even if a part suffered minor damage to only a few blocks, the entire part had to be replaced. But that was OK; even with this shortcoming PAR files were quickly hailed as a massive step forward in data-recovery technology.
PAR2 Files: The Great Leap Forward
PAR2 files, which are now the standard of archive posting, are an even greater leap forward. Although the mission of PAR and PAR2 files are similar, PAR2 files are more advanced. Like PAR files, they can replace a missing archive part, but unlike their predecessor, they can also repair blocks. This makes PAR2 files not only more advanced, but more economical as well (see Figure 2). For example, if you downloaded an archive part that had superficial damage to a few blocks, the PAR2 file would repair only the superficial damage rather than replace the entire file. This means that smaller recovery (or repair) files can be posted, which saves on bandwidth. Also, the remaining balance of the PAR2 file is available to either repair or replace other files in the archive.
Figure 2: PAR2 Files At Work...
PAR2 Files: The Technical Lowdown
PAR/PAR2 files can be a bit difficult to understand. Let's say a part from an archive was missing - and that part contained data of a car rolling down the street. How does a PAR/PAR2 file know how to reconstruct the data so it seamlessly fits in with the rest of the video? An archive part, when it's encoded back into a binary file, is just a file made up of bits of information (0100010101001). The same is true about PAR/PAR2 files. After an archive is made, PAR/PAR2 files are created in the next step. There are quite a few programs that can make PAR/PAR2 files, but they essentially do the same thing.
When the PAR/PAR 2 files are being created, an algorithm is applied to the data to help create the PAR/PAR2 files (see Figure 3). The total of the bits (0 or 1) from each column is added, for example column one would be 1+1+1+0=3. If the number is odd, the first bit of the PAR will be 1, if the number is even (such as column three (1+0+0+1=2), the third bit of the PAR/PAR2 will be 0. This continues for each of the columns of the archive.
Figure 3: The 411 On PAR/PAR2 Files...
As an example, let's say the first bit in part 2 is damaged (see Figure 3). We know that during the PAR2 creation process the total of the first column is an odd number. In order to repair the file, either a 1 or a 0 will be used, but which? It's easy. If the recovery file adds a 1, the result would give us the total we want (1+1+1+0=3), and properly repair the file. Go PAR files!
But What Does It All Mean Basil?
Figure 4 provides an example of what a PAR2 archive looks like. In this archive, there are a total of 7 PAR2 recovery files and 1 small indexing PAR2 accompanying this post. First, take a look at Figure 4a. This column defines how many blocks each PAR2 file can repair. Now take a look at Figure 4b - that's the size of each PAR2 file. As you can see, there is a direct relationship between the two.
Figure 4: The PAR2 Archive Structure...
The larger the PAR2, the more blocks it can repair. For example, when we see a PAR2 file such as: 105563112706.vol03+04.par2, this PAR2 file can repair up to 4 blocks (expressed as "+04"). The "vol03" value refers to the total number of blocks that all the preceding PAR2 files can repair. Here, "vol00+01.par2" can repair 1 block, while vol01+02.par2" can repair 2 blocks; when combined, they can reconstruct 3 blocks. If we know that any 7 blocks are damaged, we would take "vol03+04.par2" and the two PAR2 files before it ("vol00+01.par2" and "vol01+02.par2) to achieve the 7 blocks necessary to repair the archive.
PAR2 Files: What's That Little PAR2?
There's another variety of PAR2 file that indexes the hash information of the archive for error reporting purposes. It contains no recovery data. Rather, it's used in conjunction with QuickPar or your news reader to report how many PAR2 recovery files are needed, if any, to repair/replace a part.
The good thing about the modern news reader is that it works harmoniously with small PAR2 files and NZB files. The small PAR2 reports to the news reader the integrity of the archive; if there's any damage, the newsreader calls upon the NZB file to locate the proper number of PAR2 recovery files. Thanks to the bandwidth friendly nature of PAR2 files, considerable bandwidth is saved.
Although users typically depend on their news reader to repair an archive, QuickPar is still a good program to have. QuickPar is a utility that does two things: 1) uses the small PAR2 file to error check an archive, and 2) uses recovery files to reconstruct an archive.
Why do you need QuickPar? Because it's handy even if you rely exclusively on NZB files. Every once and a while, and for whatever reason, your news reader may not repair an archive. So what do you do, delete the archive and call it a day? No way! Before you give up, try reconstructing it manually. This trick often works. QuickPar is a free program that every Usenet traveler should have.
Figure 5: QuickPar In Action...
QuickPar will automatically associate PAR/PAR2 files during installation. If you're manually repairing an archive, just open the small PAR2 file, and QuickPar will inspect the archive (see Figure 5). If you need additional recovery files, it will report how many are needed - in this case 11. If you already have enough recovery files, QuickPar will start the reconstruction process if you have "AutoRepair" checked. Otherwise, after you've downloaded enough recovery files, click "Open" and navigate to their location so QuickPar can apply them to the achive.

Kendall Mulligan
Class of 2012
Major/Minor: Art and Art History/French
"My advice to other students is don't sit back and wait for opportunities to come to you. Get out and ask professors to help and when an opportunity comes along — take it."
That's exactly what Kendall Mulligan '12 did when Professor Donald McColl recommended her, through his academic contacts, last summer for an internship at the J. Carter Brown Library at Brown University.
Working in the library's digitization department and learning to use cutting-edge technology for scanning and archiving books, the art history major with a French minor was the first student outside Brown University to intern at the library.
"I loved being in Providence; the area was great for college life and I worked closely with the digitization department. As an intern, I became immersed in projects right away — my supervisors didn't hang over me."
Diving into the Haitian project, she handled rare books and was put in charge of "Pick Lists" to research bibliographical material, accession numbers and metrics, with the goal of digitizing the collection for access online. Many of the books were in French, allowing Kendall to test her language skills.
Moving to the Peruvian project, she says, "My favorite part was handling the first copy of the first book ever printed in Peru — it was leather bound with a golden seal." Then the ultimate honor: reading John Carter Brown's original hand-written log of his books.
"Archiving and restoration is the most interesting part of art history. It really broadened my interest to a more global scale."
Her dream job? Working for the FBI in art fraud. "It's a very small department in the U.S., but discovering how people hide art is fascinating."
In the meantime, Kendall is captain of the women's crew team, a Student Athlete Mentor, National Scholar Athlete for the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association and member of the Mid-Atlantic Rowing Conference Academic Honor Roll. She is President of Pi Delta Phi (French Honor Society), active in Zeta Tau Alpha sorority and selected for the Cater Society for Junior Fellows.

A sensational election-season report into the botched Operation Fast and Furious gun-tracking operation has cast new light on a simultaneous Florida firearms investigation linked to violence in Colombia, Honduras and Puerto Rico.
Called Operation Castaway, the Florida case has received far less attention than Fast and Furious. The latter became an embarrassing distraction for President Barack Obama's administration when it was implicated in the death of a federal agent and Mexico massacres, according to federal documents and a new cross-border investigative report by the Spanish-language network Univision.
Two Justice Department officials resigned and a dozen more face possible disciplinary action after the September release of a scathing 512-page inspector general's report that detailed the "seriously flawed" Fast and Furious case in which Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents allowed AK 47-style firearms and other weapons to cross the border into Mexico.
The report never mentions the lesser-known Operation Castaway, and federal agents have pointed out numerous substantive differences with Fast and Furious.
But the Florida man imprisoned in Operation Castaway, Hugh Crumpler III, says in court papers and in the Univision reports that the cases are alike because agents allowed guns to get into the hands of bad guys from Miami to Tampa to Jacksonville.
"There was no difference between Operation Fast and Furious and Operation Castaway," Crumpler wrote last week in a federal court filing that seeks an early release from his 30-month prison sentence.
Federal agents in Operation Castaway said they intercepted nearly all the weapons he sold and tried to keep them in the country while Crumpler was under investigation. Crumpler's customers were linked to gangs or cartels from Puerto Rico to Honduras, which is now one of the world's most violent countries.
By contrast, Fast and Furious was designed to allow guns — about 2,000 — to leave the country. Crumpler admitted he dealt about 1,000 firearms, including the notorious Fabrique Nationale Herstal semiautomatic handguns nicknamed cop-killing matapolicias by cartel thugs who prize their armor-piercing capabilities.
"At no point during Operation Castaway did U.S. law enforcement officials allow illegally purchased firearms to be shipped to Honduras," William Daniels, a spokesman for the Middle District of Florida's U.S. Attorney's Office said in a written statement.
"Specific knowledge about weapons exported by this criminal group to Honduras was developed over the course of the investigation, after the weapons had already been shipped," he said. "U.S. authorities had no prior knowledge of these shipments."
The court records clearly show that five guns linked to Castaway made it to crime scenes — including a murder — in Colombia and Puerto Rico. The records don't indicate whether those guns made it out of the country before or after ATF acknowledged investigating Crumpler on Aug. 29, 2009, about two years after he admittedly first began dealing weapons. Crumpler was arrested in late January 2010.
During the five months ATF monitored Crumpler, he was observed making "apparent" firearms transactions from Orlando to Little Havana. The buyers were not immediately arrested and the records don't show what happened to them or the weapons, if there were any.
Crumpler met most of the buyers at gun shows in Florida, a hot spot for arming the hemisphere because of the state's gun-loving culture and Florida's position as a gateway to Latin America.
"I was the pawn of the government in an unconstitutional operation," Crumpler said in one court filing.
"I was allowed to perform illegal activities after I should have been contacted by the ATF," he said. "This was done so that the Obama Administration could enact stricter gun laws based on crimes and evidence in which they participated and created."
To support his case, Crumpler attached copies of conservative media reports, some of which suggested Obama wanted to limit gun rights by way of the Fast and Furious investigation. Many glossed over the fact that Fast and Furious was based on a Bush-era program, Operation Wide Receiver, that let guns be "walked" across the border starting in 2006.
Crumpler echoed the anti-Obama gun paranoia, which has picked up again as the Nov. 6 election draws near, at the beginning of the investigation when he told an undercover agent that he would sell a gun with no paperwork so that "Obama won't know you have it."
The court file does indicate discomfort by ATF officials with liberal firearms laws that can allow weapons to be sold at gun shows with no traceable paperwork.
A self-described "Lone Ranger" and decorated Vietnam war veteran, Crumpler said in court documents that he began selling weapons almost as a hobby and then began to rely on the cash as sales "started to explode." He said he didn't know that the buyers were linked to drug cartels.
ATF hopped on Crumpler's trail when it noticed he had been making frequent, large purchases from a federal firearms dealer, who had to report the transactions to ATF.
About the same time, in October 2009, a separate group of agents in the Phoenix, Ariz., office launched Fast and Furious.
ATF and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Arizona "broke from the traditional approach of confronting suspected straw purchasers," the Justice Department's Office of Inspector General's report said.
Univision broadcast a report Sept. 30 that it had identified 57 never-before-reported Fast and Furious weapons used in two separate massacres in Juarez.
The Republican-led House had pushed through two measures holding Attorney General Eric Holder in civil and criminal contempt for failing to turn over certain Fast and Furious documents. The inspector general's report indicated Holder had no involvement in Fast and Furious and that it appeared to be peculiar to federal officials in Arizona.
The ATF holds up Operation Castaway as a success. As for the five weapons linked to Crumpler, the ATF told Univision that the agency "found out about the weapons when they had already been shipped."
However, a review of Crumpler's plea agreement shows that on four occasions in January 2010, agents observed him making "apparent" firearms transactions from Orlando to Miami. The buyers were never stopped in those cases, the records show.
An ATF spokesman, Drew Wade, said he couldn't comment on details of those transactions because of public-records limitations and because the agency doesn't disclose law-enforcement techniques.
In the cases where Crumpler made sales to suspected foreign nationals and illegal immigrants, ATF got local authorities to make traffic stops that led to the seizure of those weapons. That happened twice at the Miami Gun Show, once involving a British national from Barbados and another time involving a man named Jesus Puentes. A Colombian native, he was later sentenced in the case and said the weapons he purchased were bound for Venezuela.
After agents stopped Crumpler on Jan. 26, 2010, he helped ATF agents in Orlando seize 26 more firearms bound for Honduras.
When agents caught Crumpler, they told him he was selling to cartel go-betweens.
Crumpler knew that the guns were going overseas and that he was probably breaking the law. His wife told him as much, he admitted in court records.
"It didn't start out what it turned into," he said. "I wanted someone to catch me."

I don't remember the last time I saw a cassette tape in real life. Seriously, it's been years. But when I see these cassette tapes re-fashioned as pieces of art, I'm happy. I love seeing old media being used in a way it was never meant to be (and the only way it could be now).
Created by French artist Benoit Jammes, he turned his old cassette tape collection into different art pieces. I especially love the Homer Simpson and camouflage cassette tapes but to be honest, they're all pretty awesome. Here's a few more from his collection:

Higher Precision for Machining Centers in Automated Large-Batch Production
Large-batch production in the automotive industry is in the midst of a change. For example, inflexible transfer lines are increasingly replaced by lines with chained machining centers so as to improve flexibility in the mechanical machining of vehicle powertrain components.
The produced tolerances of a workpiece depend on the individual machines or sub-processes of the complete production system.
Linear encoders in Closed Loop control contribute to improving the machining accuracy so that the increased tolerance reserve is available for extending the service life of tools, for example.

As one of the original podcast pioneers I registered various top level podcast domains in 2004 and 2005. Many of them were used for various activities in the podcast space. If you are curious just Google them. As podcasting has continued to grow I have sold a few of the domains when it made sense. Recently there has been an influx of inquires so I have decided to offer a few of the domains for sale. If you are podcast business or entrepreneur who is serious about a solid podcast URL please feel free to contact me.

Hitman Absolution was one of many of the games I saw at E3 that impressed me not only with its new take on an old formula, but in the new story it was trying to tell and the character it was trying to refresh.

text: PC's Adventures in Pictures [[[Where PC's been MAP LINKS AT BOTTOM OF THIS POST]]] This is my first thread. I wanted a place to post the pictures I take while I am out riding. I guess first of all I should say that PC stands for Pacific Coast. The Honda variety. Also known as a PC800. Here is mine. And the back. I love the trunk. I call it my Little Red Truck. With that and the GIVI you can put a lot of stuff in there. Most of my riding is done through the Garden State Tag-O-Rama and the South Jersey TOR. I got my motorcycle license June 13, 2008. It was a Friday too. The pictures above were taken when I brought the bike home July 2, 2008. It had 38,808 miles on it and now I have just over 50,000. I am the 5th owner and it appeared to be well taken care of. I guess that is enough back story for now. I'll post stuff as I go along. -------------------------------------------- What the initials PC do not stand for: politically correct personal computer photo chop (even though that could be the case, as you wiil see ) -------------------------------------------- PC..... 38,808 miles on 7/2/2008 when I purchased it as the fifth owner. 55,555 miles on 5/10/2010 56,618 miles the Odometer/Speedometer stopped ticking 60,553 miles on 8/22/2010 I put on my first set of tires, Dunlop, making 21,745 miles on the tires that came with the bike. 62,555 miles on 1/29/2011 I put in the new Odometer/Speedometer. New front brakes 9/29/2011 76,555 miles on 7/27/2012 new tires, Dunlop. Making 16,000 miles for second set of tires. 90,079 miles on 11/19/2013 new Micheline tires. Making 13,524 miles for third set of tires. 90,079 miles on 11/19/2013 new Rear Breaks. Not sure if old ones are original or not, but I would assume so. 91,003 miles on 1/18/2014 when I picked up Triumph. 92,435miles on 1/1/2015. Making 1,432 miles in 2014. poor thing pretty much sits in the garage now. -------------------------------------------- TT..... 12 miles - put down payment 1/4/2014, 6 of the 12 miles are my test ride ! 12 miles - Picked bike up 1/18/2014, Friday. Put 150 miles on that day. 7,961 miles on 10/4/2014 new tires, Pirelli Angel GT. I would have ridden more had it not been for the flat that occurred at 5,895 on 9/15/2014. I doubt I would have made it to 10,000 miles though. Probably could have ridden to 8,000. I replaced the Shinko replacement tire from this incident and am keeping it as a backup as it is not the correct size and only has 2,066 miles on it. 8,281 miles on 1/1/2015, 8,281 miles for the year 2014. Would have preferred more, but the winters were bad this year. I guess adding up the TT+PC miles I go 9,713 miles of riding in for 2014. -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- I have added a map just in case anyone wants to check these places out. They are listed alphabetically by the first word. Locations on the map will be at the end of the post with an @ after it. Nothing fancy with the names. If it says "Ben Franklin @" look under "B". Stops from 2009 thru 2011 have just an @ sign after them. Stops from 2012 and afterwards will have the last two digits from the year after them like @12 is from stops made in 2012. It appears my map info has gotten too big to keep in the signature line and I have too many stops for one map. So here are the links for my maps. [[[MAP LINKS]]] Where PC's been from 2009-2011 Where PC's been from 2012-

I often get asked how I learned so much about so many different areas of the 'domestic arts'. My quick answer has always been watching Martha Stewart, but when I went to get this Pecan Tassie recipe from my mom I realized that I should have given more credit to 4-H!
When we younger, my sister, brother and I were members of 4-H. If you're not familiar with 4-H (attn: city folk...) it is an organization in rural communities that focuses on farming and rural lifestyles. It is mostly known for its livestock shows and its support of most State Fairs, but Jill and I were enrolled in domestic arts programs like Cake Decorating, Floral Design, Woodworking, Gardening, Ceramic Painting, etc. Doesn't that sound familiar... it might as well be the headers of this blog! Anyway... back to the point.
Jill won a Blue Ribbon at the State Fair when she was eleven (I think... Jill, do you remember?) for Pecan Tassies, bite-sized pecan pies. It was a big deal! The entire family went to see her prized Pecan Tassies sitting on display with a big Blue Ribbon. I wanted to share a photo, but I'll refrain from embarrassing
She made them in mini muffin pans, but I decided to make them in regular sized muffin tins for a bigger portion - more of an individual serving rather than a bite-size. The result was a deep dish individual pecan pie with plenty of the gooey filling that makes Pecan Pie amazing. These will be a great addition to your Thanksgiving pie selection - they can be made a couple days in advance, too!
Petite Deep Dish Pecan Pies
12 big mini individual pies
For the Dough:
1 cup unsalted butter
6 ounces cream cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
For the Filling:
11⁄2 cups light brown sugar
2 cups pecan halves
2 eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray muffin tins with non-stick spray.
For the dough, mix together the butter, cream cheese and flour on low until all of the flour is incorporated. Cover and refrigerate for about an hour.
Roll out the dough onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 balls. Roll out each ball until it is big enough to fit in a muffin cup. Press dough into muffin cups and pinch the tops to create a fluted edge.
To make the filling, mix together the brown sugar, pecans, eggs, melted butter and vanilla. Pour into muffin cups evenly amongst them.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the tops are set. Cool for a few minutes in the muffin cups and then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely. The petite pies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

The Gaming Pavilion is back in a big way at Macworld '08
Last year, the Gaming Pavilion at Macworld was largely abandoned, cast out into the North Hall Wasteland, far from the warm and friendly orbit of the Apple Pavilion in the South Hall. This year, gaming was centered in the alive-and-well West Hall, and gaming wasn't a Macworld Expo afterthought. Instead of a few lonely iPods running games from EA, a real pavilion was put up. More importantly, game developers like EA and Blizzard showed up, as well as Mac gaming stalwarts like Aspyr Media, and even a new one, EVE Online. It turns out 2008 will likely be the best year ever for gaming and Apple. Who knew?
Yes, Freeverse had a booth babe, but I wasn't in the mood for objectifying.
Hordes of Orcs is a crafty war game, in which you play "tower defense" to stop an endless stream of Orcs coming through a portal. You build towers to intercept them as they march across the screen to your village. Arrow towers, fire towers, radiation towers, towers. It's not an RTS, but it reminds me of one. It looked good, but the gameplay really wasn't my thing.
Remember Tempest, Asteroid? Neon Tango's not like them.
I did like Neon Tango, a 2D shooter, 50 maze levels, pretty good game play, and it looks great. It's a Mac-only game (UB) and will be out next month. Both games are $24.95.
Where is my NudeRaider mod?
Feral Interactive is another developer of native games for the Mac, porting familiar titles since 1996, like Lego Star Wars. This year at Macworld, they had on display a very familiar game, Tomb Raider. The 10th-anniversary edition of the seminal game played by millions of adolescent boys coming into their manhood is being released one more time. This enhanced version includes more puzzles, a little more linear play, and better graphics thanks to a revised engine. I played it for a bit, and it was a much, much smoother experience than the jerky game I remember.
No StarCraft 2 for you... yet
No, they didn't have a demo, but they did talk about the sequel to the Greatest Game EVER Made, StarCraft. StarCraft 2 will be simultaneously released for the Mac and PC sometime in the nebulous future, and it will immediately be the new Greatest Game EVER Made. I talked to several people familiar with it, and they swear it maintains the playability of the original, though there are many new units. Blizzard has gone so far as to import pros from Korea to tune the playability and snoop out game imbalance. Blizzard did have that WarCraft game a few people are talking about, which has some new MMOG competition on the Mac.
EVE Online: the other MMOG for the Mac
It's not StarCraft Worlds—but what could be except StarCraft Worlds?—but EVE Online is the next best thing, a sci-fi MMOG for the Mac. Spaceships are the mode of transportation in which players of one of four races go to and fro about a galaxy far, far away—but not that one. Playing one of four races, you mine, trade, and fight in typical Ayn Rand fashion, selfish rationalism in space. EVE Online uses Cider technology, meaning no space opera for Mac users with PPC machines. However, even Mac Intel users have had problems of a sort, being shunted into the "Classic" graphics version. The Premium version will be out by the end of the quarter, but unfortunately I didn't see it. Compared to the graphics of WoW, EVE Classic is a little dated looking. Still, if it weren't for Cider, there wouldn't be any EVE Online for Mac users. Playing EVE Online costs $15 a month.
Aspyr Media is not dead (except for Stubbs the Zombie)
You could argue that Aspyr is here in spite of Cider technology. Aspyr does native Mac games, not Windows-derived emulation. Of course, why not just use Boot Camp and Windows and be done with it, anyway? That's the new "Apple is Doomed" theory, that developers won't bother with Mac versions of software, and that over time Apple will become just another Windows OEM. If that were true, surely it will start with games, but it hasn't. I asked an Aspyr representative how business was since the switch to Intel, and he said it was good, no drop off in sales. He was upbeat—can PR types be any other way?—saying Aspyr is trying to "bring Mac to gaming," which is PR speak for selling both versions of a game on the same disc. Still, it's a good idea. Another one is iPhone development. While Apple has deigned thus far to, as the rep put it, "shine the light of Heaven" only on EA for mobile gaming, Aspyr is psyched about the iPhone/iPod Touch SDK. Meanwhile, Mac gamers can look forward to NeverWinter Nights 2 next month.
Enjoy your monopoly on iPod games while it lasts, EA
EA is one of those gaming companies that garners a lot of criticism. Not from this Mac user. Not only did they have their latest game up and running at Macworld '08, it's going to be a simultaneous release for Mac and PC later this year—yay, EA!
Creature building: could this be an ancestor of Jar Jar Binks?
The premise of
Microcosmic God Spore is both simple and complex: life from start to finish. Will Wright of Sims fame has created a game so sweeping that you really have to wonder if it can be pulled off. Broken into five distinct phases of game play: tide pool, creature, tribal, civilization, space, you play god—though it's more the watchmaker than the Zeus-type throwing lightning bolts and taking the shape of animals to have sex. Spore plays considerably differently in each phase, from arcade to pseudo-RPG to RTS... it's astonishing. If that was not enough, the characteristics of your creations are uploaded to a central database where they will populate the universes of other players, and they yours. It's difficult for me to say this... but this could become the Greatest Game EVER Made. At least until StarCraft 2 is released, so, theoretically, it could be forever. Spore will be out this year, no word on pricing.
My wife made me post this.
Piano Wizard has just been released for the Mac, though why the hell someone would get excited about learning to play the piano when they could be god, I don't know. It works like a typing tutor game, except for music. Colored stickers on the MIDI keyboard help you keep track of where your fingers are. Hit the key or chord at the right moment to pop the balloon or whatever and you are learning to play the piano. I watched people playing for a while. They laughed and learned—but were not gods. You can use any MIDI file, including ones from an online database, and you can use your own MIDI keyboard with a USB port. You can also buy a combo package for $199, or just software from $50 to $120. We're getting the combo package, because expanding your mind and learning new things is so much for fun than playing god on a 50" plasma display.
These were just some of the games at Macworld '08, and that's probably the most exciting announcement of all. The relationship between Apple and gaming is on the mend. Now, if Apple could only update the GPUs in Macs more often—or put an actual GPU in the MacBook, Mac Mini, and MacBook Air that isn't a piece of cardboard—that would be something.

text: There have been studies done, that with intense locomotive training the central pattern generator kicks in, which allows the person to walk, turn and stop, without a change in their lower extremities score. The people in these studies also cannot voluntarily move their legs lying down. I wonder how much of this research by Wise is kick starting the CPG due to intense rehab and nothing to do with the medication. I think we will see a clear sign of this in the US study since they will have one group with just rehab.

Many attorneys are considering becoming full-time Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR") professionals, making arbitration and mediation part of their law practice or improving their ADR advocacy skills. To assist them, the Dispute Resolution Section
of the New York State Bar Association has prepared accessible lists of resources available in New York State. Because the information changes constantly, we caution you to visit each organization's website. For an extensive database of community dispute
resolution centers see the
NY Courts ADR Programs List.
Effective mediators understand the process, possess mediation skills and have personal qualities that engender trust and confidence. The first two characteristics can be learned; the third developed. Some training programs provide basic skills while
others focus on a particular approach, such as transformative mediation, or a particular practice area, for example, commercial or divorce mediation. Several provide certification needed to serve in their program. For a list of programs that provide mediator
training, click
Some organizations provide newly-trained mediations an opportunity to engage in mentorship with experienced mediators through observation and co-mediation, click
There are many court-annexed and community mediation programs that provide mediators with opportunities to gain experience, hone their skills, and develop a reputation as an effective mediator. Some of these programs are pro bono, others are compensated,
Skilled arbitrators possess knowledge of many kinds of law (substantive, evidentiary, arbitral, and procedural). They generally have substantial experience in litigation and civil law and possess the qualities of fairness, impartiality, and decisiveness.
Most, though, not all, arbitrations are conducted through private organizations with their own rules and procedures. These training programs focus on learning the applicable procedures of the organization, as well as federal and state arbitration acts,
an on managing the process, click
Provider organizations generally have specific requirements for inclusion on their panels.
Membership and leadership in organizations that promote arbitration adhere to a published code of conduct and are indicia of an arbitrators credentials.

The Real Thing - Stories and Sketches
Doris Lessing
Publisher: HarperCollins e-books
The stories and sketches in this collection penetrate to the heart of human experience with the passion and intelligence readers have come to expect of Doris Lessing. Most of the piece are set in contemporary London, a city the author loves for its variety, its diversity, its transitoriness, the way it connects the life of animals and birds in the parks to the streets. Lessing's fiction also explores the darker corners of relationships between women and men, as in the rich and emotionally complex title story, in which she uncovers a more parlous reality behind the facade of the most conventional relationship between the sexes.

Rally Software has announced the third generation of its Agile ALM solution featuring the first ALM data warehouse in the cloud. Rally's ALM data warehouse will eliminate the problem of "canned" reports that fail to answer the tough project questions development teams face every day by providing almost limitless options for custom reporting.
Rally's ALM data warehouse lets organizations build the custom roll-up and drill-down reports needed to deploy resources. Rally's analytical database is updated in near-real-time and, because it's SaaS, it requires zero customer infrastructure or costs to use.
"Executives need to know which big features to invest in, when they will be delivered and how projects are tracking to budget," said Rally's Zach Nies. "At the same time, development teams have to make hundreds of decisions for every release. Rally's ALM data warehouse will provide decision support tools to instantly view status across distributed teams, analyze the root cause of problems, and better forecast feature delivery."
In addition, Rally's customizable UI includes social media tools intended to improve collaboration among distributed teams. It also incorporates role-based dashboards to filter data throughout the development lifecycle to only what each role needs be a productive team member.
New features in Rally Release 2009.4 and upcoming Q4 2009 releases include:
- Report Designer. Users can create custom reports tailored to their unique processes and use them to explore the root cause of problems and better forecast feature delivery.
- Role-based Dashboards for Contributors, Managers, and Executives make it easy to learn and use Agile processes and the Rally tool.
- Recent Activity Stream uses social media-style collaboration tools to surface the project activity that team members care about. Users can easily contribute to team discussions without leaving the application.
- Time Tracking lets developers enter their time at several possible levels of granularity, including projects and tasks, without needing to go to another timesheet or application.
- Kanban Mashup gives teams the option of managing pull-based, Lean software development projects alongside other iterative and time-boxed projects.
New features are available to customers either directly through the application, or by signing up for a beta program in Rally's online community, Agile Commons. The Kanban mashup is currently in development and is anticipated to be released later this year. Rally's Agile ALM solutions are available in two editions -- Rally Community Edition and Rally Enterprise.

Vape Drop Shipping Makes Starting A Business Easy
Starting an online business is more expensive than most people realize. Most people know about the obvious costs of starting a website, advertising that website online, and buying the inventory that they sell, but there are two things they often overlook: warehousing and shipping.
You need somewhere to store your inventory while you're waiting on customers to buy it. You also need to get people's orders to them. If you're in FL and someone places an order in Seattle, you're looking at a lot of money and time to get them their products.
You also have to take inventory management into account. If you don't keep an eye on what you have, you're going to make a lot of people unhappy when they place orders that you can't fulfill. Sure, you can get software or an employee to help you with this, but that's even more money out of pocket to start your business up.
What if you didn't have to worry about that? Imagine being able to start a business with minimal cost, selling the best vape products online.
Wondering how that's possible? Let's talk about vape drop shipping.
What Is Drop Shipping?
Drop shipping in a nutshell means that you sell other people's stuff. With us, you'll have access to over 900 of the best products in the vaping industry. Customers come to your website and order products. You then submit the order to use and we fulfill it. You don't have to worry about inventory management, warehousing fees, and logistics.
You set up the website and advertise it online. Put our products on your website, and once we get the order, we'll pack and ship it.
Here are some of the benefits of vape drop shipping with us:

Customer Satisfaction
We have the best vaping products in the industry. Your customers will love the quality of our products. We also carry the most popular and recognizable names in the industry, such as Smok, JUUL, Yocan, and Suorin.
Suorin is the leader in open pod vaping technology. They are a company known for constant innovation. You'll be able to feature their very popular DROP and AIR starter kits, along with the VAGON portable vaping system and more.
If you're into dry herb vaping and wax pens, you know all about Yocan. They make the highest quality dab pens you can buy. We also offer Yocan starter kits, coils, atomizers, and coil caps.
Smok is one of, if not the, most popular and well-known vaping brands in the industry. By offering our wide range of Smok products, including kits, coils, tanks, and more, you'll position yourself for success. People actively search for their products, making it easy to advertise your store and make sells.
Of course, everyone knows JUUL. Former smokers developed the company to help people break their smoking habits and live a healthier life. You can offer a variety of JUUL products and corner the market on those that want to use vaping to kick their smoking habit. Not only will you make some money, but you'll also help former smokers deal with their nicotine cravings. It's a win-win for everyone!
Fast Shipping
We live in a world of instant gratification. When people are hungry, they don't have to wait an hour for a lasagna in the oven. They can microwave it and eat within 10 minutes. Don't want to wait for your favorite TV show? Find it online and watch it when you want to.
That mentality now affects how businesses operate as well. People don't want to wait forever for products they order online, meaning companies have to offer a variety of shipping options to meet the demands of their customers. If you can't get people their orders when they want them, you can't compete with bigger companies such as Amazon.
Luckily for you, we have relationships with the three major shipping providers in the United States, UPS, FedEx, and the USPS. We offer 1 day, 2-3 day, and standard shipping options. You can either offer customers free shipping and foot the bill or allow them to decide which shipping option they prefer and have them pay for it. The choice is yours and depends on what kind of profit margin you're looking for.
Our average shipping time is 3-4 days, so your customers will come to expect fast delivery, meaning that they'll continue to use you for their vaping needs.
Dedicated Account Manager
Everyone that uses our vape drop shipping program gets a dedicated account manager that will help them grow their business and deliver the best service possible to their customers. We view you as a partner. After all, the more you sell, the more we sell. Our business model relies on you making money, meaning that we're going to do everything in our power to make sure you're successful.
Other companies offer their products, pat you on the back, and send you out into the world with a "good luck". We do things a little differently, which is why our drop shippers have had great success over the years.
Let's Get Started, Partner
Ready to start a successful vape drop shipping business? It's easy to sign up and get started! If you have any dropshipping questions, contact us today and we can help get you set up for success.

Withering field crops stole all the headlines this year about the drought in the United States, but livestock producers have been hit even harder because not only are their herds suffering, but skyrocketing crop prices make it more costly to feed their animals.
Livestock producers are starting to make the hard decision to liquidate herds, with evidence of heavy hen, sow and some beef-cow slaughter rising. Dairy producers are also seeing more dairy-cow slaughter as dairies have been dealing with bearish fundamentals for a few years now.
The situation in the livestock industry isn't likely to improve this year, industry watchers say, although brighter horizons might be in store for producers, provided they can hang on during the present dark times.
"Higher feed costs alongside poor pasture/range conditions have halted expansion plans," says Christina McGlone-Hahn, analyst at Deutsche Bank in a September research note. "The livestock sector is now in liquidation mode."
Jason Henderson, vice president and Omaha branch executive at the Kansas City Federal Reserve, says that the herd liquidation was anticipated, and that it's likely to persist.
"Producers are looking at losses until the end of the year," he says.
Henderson says producers were expected to cull their younger animals. "Right now dairy and poultry are making the biggest (herd and flock) adjustments," he says.
McGlone-Hahn says bigger hens are being slaughtered because they use corn less efficiently, which is dropping chicken weights overall. Further signs of flock reduction are seen in USDA's weekly broiler data, showing egg sets down, despite a comparison against last year's deep production cuts.
She added that dairy-cow slaughter is up two percent year-over-year, with the pace accelerating in August.
Margins are being squeezed for livestock producers, and some are already in the red. For instance, McGlone-Hahn estimates that hog producers are now losing about $25 a head, and that loss could grow to $60-$70 a head. Weakness in thecash hog and pork market suggests that the typical autumn rise in slaughter rates is being exacerbated by higher liquidation levels.
As of mid-November, total weekly hog kill numbers are running two percent ahead of last year. She attributes this rise to producers holding off on marketing hogs during the hottest days of the summer, and to an effort by producers to send hogs off sooner to bring down feed costs.
Cattle Operators Teetering
"Drought has decimated pastures in the United States, with 60 percent of pastures in poor and very poor condition versus 40 percent a year ago," says David Anderson, a livestock economist at Texas A&M extension service. "Drought in Texas wasn't as bad as last year – which was the worst year on record – but given much of the rest of the country is in drought this year, cattle producers are still struggling," he says.
"A lot of cattle liquidation happened last year in Texas, the biggest cattle-producing state," Anderson says, but calf prices have fallen sharply as cattle producers were reluctant to cull herds they just rebuilt.
Even though calf prices were up earlier this year, he says given the drop in prices in the summer, it's likely average 2012 prices will be below last year, and furthermore, prices could stay weak into the first six months of 2013.
On the feeder-cattle side, Henderson says there's been a rise in feeder-cattle imports from Mexico because of the drought, which is pressuring markets. Meanwhile, Canada is sending hogs and cattle south, taking advantage of currency rate differentials.
Cattle feedlot operators are battling low prices for fed-cattle and high feed costs. Henderson cited a USDA statistic that estimated feedlot operations may lose more than $200 per head this year.
The rise in animals sent to slaughter is putting some strain on processing capacity, and that's pressuring prices and processor margins, Henderson says. "It will take time for prices to recover as big supplies come in…. You have to wait until 2013 for things to improve," he says.
Henderson and Anderson say 2013 should treat livestock producers better, but the big question is, can producers hang on?
"It might be a year before they're profitable again. One thing you have to remember is that you have to go through this downturn before you get a rebound," Henderson says.
So what will be the signs of a bottom? "You'll see the rebound first in poultry. They're the first sector to look at because their life cycle is so short. If you see a rebound in poultry, there's a good sign that it will occur in hogs," he says.

Even in Texas they are having their doubts. The state that executes more people than any other by far – it will account for half the prisoners sent to the death chamber in the US this year – is seeing its once rock-solid faith in capital punishment shaken by overturned convictions, judicial scandals and growing evidence that at least one innocent man has been executed.
The growth of DNA forensic evidence has seen nearly 140 death row convictions overturned across the US, prompting abolition and moratoriums in other states that Texas has so far resisted.
But the public mood is swinging in the conservative state, which often seems to have an Old Testament view of justice. A former governor, Mark White – previously a strong supporter of the death penalty – has joined those calling for a reconsideration of capital punishment because of the risk of executing an innocent person.
The number of death sentences passed by juries in Texas has fallen sharply in recent years, reflecting a retreat from capital punishment in many parts of America after DNA evidence led to the release of scores of condemned prisoners.
The number of death sentences passed annually in the US has dropped by about 60% in the past decade, to around 100.
"In Texas we have seen a constant stream of individual cases that really destroy public faith and integrity in our criminal justice system," said Steve Hall, former chief of staff to the Texas attorney general for eight years, who is now an anti-death penalty activist.
"You are seeing that scepticism reflected in a lot of different ways. You are seeing juries more reluctant to issue death sentences. You are also seeing a different approach by district attorneys. Some are breaking with the past culture of seeking the death penalty whenever they can."
A fortnight ago, two men sentenced to death and life in prison for the murder of four teenagers in 1991 were cleared after sophisticated forensic tests from the crime scene did not match either man.
Other prisoners are also being released after DNA evidence. In Dallas county alone, 24 people have been exonerated and the new district attorney has created a conviction integrity unit to examine other suspected miscarriages of justice.
Recent attention has focused on a high profile case which may become the first officially acknowledged miscarriage of justice which led to a man being executed.

The governor of Texas, Rick Perry, has been accused of gerrymandering a commission examining the evidence against Cameron Todd Willingham who was executed in 2004 for the murder of his three young daughters in an arson attack on his home. Perry abruptly replaced the chairman of the Texas Forensic Science Commission as it was about to hold hearings into a report by its own expert, who described the conviction as based on "junk science". The new chairman called off the hearing.
Other states have moved swiftly to address concerns about potential miscarriages of justice.
The release of four men in New Mexico prompted the governor, Bill Richardson, to abolish the death penalty in the state earlier this year, saying: "I do not have confidence in the criminal justice system as it currently operates to be the final arbiter when it comes to who lives and who dies for their crime."
Six years ago, the governor of Illinois declared a moratorium on the death penalty after realising that the state had freed more men from death row than it had executed since 1976.
Death penalty supporters in Texas claim the numerous appeal processes protect against a wrongful conviction. "No one who's involved in criminal prosecution has ever claimed they are absolutely perfect," said Dudley Sharp, founder of a Texas victims rights group, Justice For All. "But with the death penalty in the United States you have a system that protects innocence to a greater degree than a life sentence ever could."
But Hall says the highly politicised judicial system in Texas, with elected prosecutors and judges, is part of the problem. "One of the problems with having an elected judiciary is that you end up with judges who have to become good politicians. That means appealing to the voters. The presiding judge on the court of criminal appeals, Sharon Keller, ran as a pro-prosecution judge. That was her phrase," he said.
Keller - known has Sharon Killer to her critics because of her enthusiasm for the death penalty - is at the centre of a controversy that has further undermined confidence in the death penalty, after she refused to keep a court office open after 5pm to allow a last-minute appeal for a stay of execution while the supreme court decided on another case that affected all executions in Texas. The convict, Michael Richard, was executed hours later.
Keller is awaiting a verdict from the State Commission on Judicial Conduct on charges of dereliction of duty.
Earlier this year, Keller turned down an appeal from a man on the brink of execution, despite revelations that the judge and prosecutor at his trial had been having an affair.
