I'm guessing it will be close for the first quarter but UW should pull away and win fairly big. I'll say 42-13.

The State Board last month endorsed the draft, but withheld final approval until after the final standards document was released on June 2.
The Common Core Standards is a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governor's Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers. Maryland became involved in the project last June, when Governor Martin O'Malley and State Superintendent of Schools Nancy S. Grasmick signed on to the initiative along with representatives from 48 other states and two territories.
Maryland will now begin a broad-based year-long process to revise its curriculum to align with the new document. Hundreds of classroom educators, instructional leaders, administrators, and higher education representatives will help State officials review, refine and align the current Maryland State Curriculum with the Common Core.
The new State Curriculum is expected to be ready for State Board adoption in June 2011, an accelerated process made possible by the State's previous work in this area.
Although the U.S. Department of Education is not directly involved in this initiative, U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan has embraced the Common Core movement, and the Race to the Top program looks favorably on states that have signed on.
For further information about the Common Core, see www.corestandards.org.

A few nights ago, Tim Fisher was doing some coyote hunting.
In a few weeks, he will be in the hunt for another golf title at the West Virginia State Amateur Tournament.
Yes, Fisher is about to make his come back. He's been out of the mix the last three years while serving suspensions handed down by the West Virginia Golf Association.
Fisher, a former Ripley High and Glenville State College golfing great, was hit with a suspension by the WVGA in August of 2010 because he withdrew from the U.S. Public Links Championships in North Carolina. He did so in order to play in the West Virginia Open – another WVGA event. The United States Golf Association cited Fisher for not giving proper notification and the WVGA did the same.
After a year, Fisher was about to go back into WVGA competition when the organization issued another suspension for a breach of its code of conduct.
Fortunately, all that is now behind the personable Fisher, who is a three-time winner of the prestigious State Am. He has a lifetime exemption to the four-day tournament that will unfold on both the Old White TPC Course and the Greenbrier Course August 5-8 at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs.
He can't think of a better way to make his return to WVGA competition than in the State Amateur. He's been away and used the time to keep playing and do a lot of thinking.
"It (the suspension) wasn't as bad as I thought," said Fisher. "It was kind of a pleasant surprise (that he handled it so well)."
Nevertheless, the suspensions were tough pills to swallow.
"It caught me by surprise," said the former Ripley High and Glenville State College standout. "I didn't agree with it, but I just took it on the chin and moved on."
Fisher, who has also won a pair of Four-Ball titles as a WVGA competitor, said he did other things during the period in which he was sequestered from the highest level of golf in the state.
"I wasn't constantly worried about getting ready (for the next tournament)," said the Sandyville resident who claimed the 2005, 2008 and 2009 State Am championships. "I wasn't having to make travel arrangements. I took a family vacation. I hadn't been able to do that for a long time. Really since 1998 (when he was a senior at Ripley and the Class AAA individual champion), my whole life has been wrapped up in golf."
While he was forbidden from entering WVGA action on the links, Fisher took part in other tournaments at various county clubs to keep his competitive edge.
One event was the Marcus McPhail Memorial Tournament. "That was a little rough," said Fisher, who spent many hours on various courses with the former Ripley High football and baseball coach. McPhail, one of Ripley High's all-time greatest athletes who later started for four years as Glenville State's quarterback, died on New Year's Eve Day in 2011. "I was with him the night before and was supposed to be with him that day."
Fisher learned plenty playing golf with a great competitor like McPhail.
Now, he's ready to resume being one of the better players on the WVGA circuit.
"I like winning tournaments," said Fisher, who still works for Verizon. "I'm ready to come back and play. I've got a little chip on my shoulder. Not in a bad way, but I just want to show I'm back. I've got a few more weeks to get ready and I've just got to keep practicing and practicing."
WVGA Executive Director Ken Tackett is glad to have a player of Fisher's caliber returning to the the field for upcoming WVGA events. "We're happy to get him back," Tackett told The Charleston Gazette. "We hope his golf speaks for itself. It makes your State Amateur the best when you have the best players playing."
Tim Fisher has certainly proven to be one of West Virginia's best in the past decade.
"I can't wait to get going," he said.
He's ready to hunt down another beautiful State Amateur trophy and add it to his collection.
On the Mark: Fisher ready for return

So I've got THE SHOES.
Last week I asked for your help in choosing shoes to go with my new party dress courtesy of Shabby Apple (oh how I love that store) and you came through. You gave me the direction I needed in my moment of crisis. You know, I think if President Bush had had advisers as smart as you fine people there wouldn't be any talk of economic crisis or recession or stupid stuff like that.
The votes have spoken and burgundy won with an overwhelming 51% of the vote. Obama himself would love to be able to boast such popularity. Then peep toes made a strong showing with 37%.
The only anomaly was the height. Seems a majority of kind commentators left words of encouragement, telling me to wear the shoes tall and be proud of it yet oddly enough mid heels nudged out very high heels when the votes were counted.
So I can only assume that that means there are a lot of you out there afraid to tell a six foot woman that she needs to be realistic and forget waving to the crowd from the tree line. I can take a hint. But that doesn't mean I'm going to go with it . . .
I bought the burgundy Via Spigas and held them close to my heart for a good ten minutes in a rapture only Imelda Marcos understands but then when I tried them on I found them rather uncomfortable. Okay pretty uncomfortable. They're just so darn high that the balls of my feet didn't go five minutes without letting me know that they didn't appreciate the treatment they were receiving.
So to put this excruciatingly long story to bed, I still have those shoes but I went back and ordered two other pairs of slightly shorter heels that I'll try out before making the decision. Love that free shipping! I could actually keep both pairs of shoes, return the first and still save a bucketload of money. Go figure.
Anyway, on to the subject of this week's list.
The point is that I'm getting ready for Hollywood next week (I never thought I'd ever say that) and if you missed why it's because Suave is hosting this year's Glamour Reel Moments film festival where women actors can pick from Glamour Magazine's readers' stories and make their favorite into a short film.
Suave is sponsoring this year's event and is bringing a group of bloggers down for the occasion. I have to say that I've thought their new campaign showing how Moms can reclaim themselves and be beautiful while blowing noses is a great one--it speaks to me.
So thanks to Suave I'm going to the film festival and party afterward and according to the information I received Demi Moore and Courtney Cox are making their directorial debuts. Besides them and past alums such as Kirsten Dunst, Bryce Dallas-Howard, Jennifer Aniston and Kate Hudson their casts will be there too--last year with people like Chevy Chase, Dakota Fanning, Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn to name a few.
Which leads me to ask: "Which celebrities would YOU want to most meet?" Here's my list.
1. Clint Eastwood. Because he's, you know, CLINT EASTWOOD. I actually haven't seen that many of his movies but the ones I have seen are pretty amazing in the way they're crafted. Andrew and I went to see Nights in Rodanthe last weekend and they had a trailer for Eastwood's latest movie, Changeling, with Angelina Jolie (actually there were several trailers there that looked pretty good, I love it when a movie has great previews before it starts--it's like giving me a tasty appetizer before a meal. I never miss the previews.) Anyway, Changeling looked good and Eastwood has such an interesting off-camera life that I'd love to sit down with him in his vineyard and chat. What do you say? Can I come over for dinner?
2. Will Smith. Not sure why but this goofy-looking guy is so fun to watch on screen but I wouldn't mind hanging out with him and his family for the afternoon over a game of Scrabble. Wouldn't mind at all. I love his movies and have been a fan since he was doing rap as the Fresh Prince (yes I'm ancient, just ask my kids). Then the real clincher is that several years ago I read that he was a English grammar freak who loved correct usage and loved studying it as a kid which really just sealed the deal for me. My new best friend. Of course, someone also told me recently that he's really into Scientology which though it might seem like that would turn me off instead just peaks my interest. I've never met a Scientologist before so why not Will Smith?
3. Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement. Not heard of these guys? Well they form a duo called Flight of the Conchords which is a Grammy-winning comedy team from New Zealand (haven't I said before that anything from New Zealand is cool? These guys just back me up). They call themselves "Formerly New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo" and they're a hoot. Actually they're pretty great musicians as well but they're fun-ny.
4. Brian Williams. Yup, you read that right. Brian Williams as in NBC's Brian Williams, news anchor. This might seem an odd choice but I wanted to have a journalist on the list and he's not only my favorite but he too is very funny. I've seen interviews with him when he's not doing his job and he's got such a quick, dry wit that I long ago decided he was my favorite news guy. Not that that means I have a list of favorite news guys--that would be rather odd don't you think? I guess I'd want to meet him at State dinner.
I mean, as long as you're dreaming you might as well dream big, right? A State dinner is about as big as you can get and if Mr. Williams proves to be boring then you always have the First Lady's dress to check out.
5. Tina Fey. I'd like to meet her for several reasons: because she's the "it" girl right now, because she's beautiful without it only being about her face, because she's been able to make a career out of her talents as a comedian, actress and writer (rather unusual don't you think?) There just aren't too many women in Hollywood who've been able to keep one foot in writing and one foot in acting, she may be the most successful woman at it ever. Anyone know someone else who has been able to do what she's done? I'm not a huge SNL fan, haven't watched it since my college days (which is, whew! EONS ago) but I think I would like to meet Ms. Fey--and I'd want to meet her in her office.
6. Ellen Degeneres. She makes me laugh, what can I say? I do get the feeling, however, that she's as crazy as the next Hollywood whacko though I haven't got any data to back that up, it's just a gut feeling I've got. Anyone seen her hanging out with Tom Cruise lately? You might meet her coming out of your therapist's office. I could see that happening.
7. Queen Latifah. Her real name? Dana Elaine Owens and I don't know what it is about this woman but I love watching her on screen. She's got this something that is fascinating. It could be because she's beautiful but I don't think that's it because there are others who are more beautiful than she is that don't have "it" and I don't think it's because of her music because I've never heard any of it. It couldn't be her personal life because that's been a bit more dramatic than the average Joe's life so I'm lost. I don't know why I like her but I do. Maybe it's because she's a hoot as Gwen Eiffel. She'd be fun meeting at a mall shopping for shoes, though I suspect her idea of shoes and my idea of shoes are about $400 different.
8. Ladianian Tomlinson. Yes, running back for the Chargers (and do you have any idea how long it's taken me to accumulate that piece of knowledge?) No, I'm not a football fan but if I ever was to meet this man I would automatically be exalted to "Supreme Mom of the Universe" in the eyes of my boys, they would think I was the coolest thing ever, no questions asked. Well actually they'd ask a lot of questions so I probably should study up before I actually meet the man because if I ever did I wouldn't have a clue about what to ask him or say. Because football? I know nothing. I know enough to get an autograph from him for David and Spencer though--at least I know that much. Don't know where I'd want to meet him but I hope I'd have a pen handy--I'd also better bring Spencer's prized football card because otherwise I'd have no idea what the guy looks like even if I did meet him.
9. Sandra Bullock. Maybe this rests solely on my love for While You Were Sleeping but I wouldn't mind meeting Ms. Bullock, especially if accompanied by her motorcycle-lovin' husband Jesse James. That just seems such an odd match but it just goes to show you never know a person from their screen presence--though I have heard rumors that she has a "colorful" vocabulary. Somehow that doesn't mesh with her sadly-sweet-yet-tragic persona she plays over and over again in The Lake House, While You Were Sleeping and Practical Magic (to name a few). Kind of the same role over and over but it's fun and I would like to catch lunch with her at a fabulous Mexican restaurant near her home in Texas.
10. Gwyneth Paltrow. This one I actually might have a shot at because Ms. Paltrow is a former Glamour Reel Moments participant and the info I received made it sound as if she might be there next week. Who knows? I think she's appealing because she's got that thing reminiscent of Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn--kind of a mix of both. Skinny and willowy like Audrey but her face and coloring are like Grace's. If I had to pick two actresses that I'd most want to be compared with those two would be it--they're pretty much the epitome of style, glamor and grace. Besides, I pretty much feel like we're connected already--Spencer pounds out Cold Play songs constantly on the piano. CONSTANTLY. I think I'd like to meet her over a gourmet hot chocolate in a breakfast-at-Tiffany's setting.
11. Brian Regan. I don't need to say much about why I'd love to meet him, this clip explains it all:
Part two of this skit can be found here. He's the kind of guy you'd like to find yourself seated next to on an airplane--plenty of entertainment and conversation the whole way.
12. Adam Levine. Lead singer and rhythm guitarist for Maroon 5. And actually I don't know that I'd really want to meet him, just maybe see him but on the sly without all the gawking--like seeing him at the next table at a restaurant. There's just something about his voice--I wonder if it would have the same effect if you met him in person. My mom always had a thing for Steve Perry's voice (tell me you remember Journey?) and I guess Adam Levine's voice does the same thing for me.

Players turn out to honor Calhoun
Storrs - Few people have made a bigger impact on Ray Allen's life than Jim Calhoun.
From the first time Allen met Calhoun until Sunday when the former UConn great and two-time NBA champion attended a tribute to his former coach at Gampel Pavilion, he's grown a great deal from their relationship.
"It's everlasting," Allen said of Calhoun's impact. "There's so many things that have been built into me from the moment I came to Connecticut, from the way I eat, to the way I think, to the way I prepare, the commitment to the game, and how I compete.
"It's everything that he instilled in me. � Being in the business of sports for the last 18 years, everything that I am I attribute to him because he taught me how to be a professional."
Allen was part of a large turnout of extended members of the UConn basketball family at the special event called, "Heart of a Champion: A Tribute to Jim Calhoun." It will benefit The Pat and Jim Calhoun Cardiology Center at the UConn Health Center and the UConn Basketball Development Center Fund.
What Calhoun, who retired a year ago, cherishes the most about his Hall of Fame coaching career is the close-knit relationships that he built and still maintains with his players.
"Seeing these guys come in here today is an incredibly emotional thing for me personally," Calhoun said. "A long, long time ago I said that I wanted to get into coaching to hopefully affect some people's lives. They've affected mine, I know for sure.
"� I knew it would be an emotional day. When I see them, it just does something to me certainly. � It's an incredible bond that never gets broken."
The feeling is mutual for his former players.
"He's a father figure to me," said Stanley "Sticks" Robinson. "So I just wanted to be here to support him."
When Jeff Adrien heard about the Calhoun tribute in June, he circled the date on his calendar.
"I had to be here�," Adrien said. "I loved every second of it, good and bad. It was an honor to play for coach Calhoun."
The family bond between Calhoun and his players took time to develop.
In fact, many Huskies wondered where the warm and fuzzy coach who showed up during the recruiting process was when the first day of practice started.
Calhoun is a firm believer in tough love and discipline.
"He's always pushing and he's always asking for more, and it makes you into who you are," A.J. Price said.
To this day, Allen, a member for the NBA champion Miami Heat, said he still hears Calhoun's voice during a practice.
"I cringe during practice when one of the coaches is talking and one of the other guys will bounce the basketball during the conversation," Allen said. "Coach Calhoun would put us all on the line. So that's something that's always been in me.
"� The guys that I played with and play with in the NBA didn't come from that. Their coaches didn't run a tight ship like that. We crave that discipline here and it still stays with me. � Each one of us, we have a bond to this day because we knew what we had to go through to exist and we all had a responsibility."
Calhoun has an advisor's role at UConn now. He says he greatly misses coaching and the kids.
Sunday night gave him a chance to reflect on his career. Some speakers included Allen, Ben Gordon, Rudy Gay, Kemba Walker, Richard Hamilton and coach Kevin Ollie. North Carolina's Roy Williams, Michigan State's Tom Izzo, Syracuse's Jim Boeheim and Duke's Mike Krzyzewski delivered video tributes.
"I don't usually look back�." Calhoun said. "It's a special time for me. Your mind goes back to when all this all began. � I do have a sincere love for these guys and what they've done for me, my family, my life and for the institution that we're at."
UConn capped off the festivities by announcing that Stadium Road on campus will be renamed Jim Calhoun Way.
Allen is happy that Calhoun can celebrate his career.
"I feel honored to be a part of this because it is a testimony to who he is and where he's come from, and to be able to see the lineage of players that he's been able to teach and grow," Allen said. "We've become men under his watch. � Something from him is in each one of us."

Kernel/Traditional compilation
The summary below is helpful for building custom kernels from kernel.org sources. This method of compiling kernels is the traditional method common to all distros; however, an excellent method of cleanly installing the custom kernel with makepkg and pacman is also included.
Alternatively, you can use ABS to build and install your kernel; see: Kernel Compilation. Using the existing linux PKGBUILD will automate most of the process and will result in a package. However, some Arch users prefer the
traditional way.
New users who are not fully familiar with compiling software should have a look at Kernel Compilation without ABS for New Users.
- 1 Fetching source
- 2 Build configuration
- 3 Compilation and installation
- 4 Bootloader configuration
- 5 Using the NVIDIA video driver with your custom kernel
Fetching source
- Fetch the kernel source from
ftp.xx.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/, where xx is your country key (e.g. 'us', 'uk', 'de', ... - Check [1] for a complete list of mirrors). If you have no ftp gui, you can use
wget. For this example, we will fetch and compile 22.214.171.124; you should need to change only the version to get a different kernel.
For instance:
$ wget -c http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-22.214.171.124.tar.bz2
- It is always a good idea to verify the signature for any downloaded tarball. See kernel.org/signature for how this works and other details.
- Copy the kernel source to your build directory, e.g.:
$ cp linux-188.8.131.52.tar.bz2 ~/kernelbuild/
- Unpack it and enter the source directory:
$ cd ~/kernelbuild $ tar -xvjf linux-22.214.171.124.tar.bz2 $ cd linux-184.108.40.206
Prepare for compilation by running the following command:
make mrproper
This ensures that the kernel tree is absolutely clean. The kernel team recommends that this command be issued prior to each kernel compilation. Do not rely on the source tree being clean after un-tarring.
Build configuration
This is the most crucial step in customizing the kernel to reflect your computer's precise specifications. By setting the configurations in 'menuconfig' properly, your kernel and computer will function most efficiently.
Get .config file
Optional. Copy the .config file from the running kernel, if you want to modify default Arch settings.
$ zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
Configure your kernel
There are two choice:
- Traditional menuconfig
$ make menuconfig (Will start with a fresh '.config'. Option dependencies are usually automatically selected.)
Make your changes to the kernel and save your config file. It is a good idea to make a backup copy, since you will likely be doing this multiple times until you get all the options right.
- localmodconfig
Since kernel 2.6.32, localmodconfig is provided to ease kernel configuration:
$ make oldconfig (Only works with the old '.config' file, copied into the build directory. Also marks previously unused options as 'NEW'.) $ make localmodconfig (Tries to extract /proc/config.gz from running kernel. Pre-selecting options/modules in use.) $ make localyesconfig (Same as above, except that as many modules as possible compiled into the kernel.) $ make xconfig (Depends on Qt. A nicer interface. Dependency checking not verified.) $ make gconfig (Depends on GTK. Otherwise same as xconfig.) $ make help (Lists ALL targets available.)
For more information about the build target "localmodconfig" refer to the 2.6.32 release notes.
Local version
If you are compiling a kernel using your current config file, do not forget to rename your kernel version, or you may replace your existing one by mistake.
$ make menuconfig General setup ---> (-ARCH) Local version - append to kernel release '3.n.n-RCn'
What about /usr/src/ ?
Using the /usr/src/ directory for kernel compilation as root, along with the creation of the corresponding symlink, is considered poor practice by some kernel hackers. They consider the cleanest method to simply use your home directory. If you subscribe to this point of view, build and configure your kernel as normal user, and install as root, or with makepkg and pacman.
However, this concept has been the target of debate, and other very experienced hackers consider the practice of compiling as root under /usr/src/ to be completely safe, acceptable and even preferable.
Use whichever method you feel more comfortable with.
Compilation and installation
To compile kernel manually, follow these steps:
$ make
(Same as make vmlinux && make modules && make bzImage - see make help for more information on this.)
make all if you use GRUB and still have LILO installed; it will configure LILO in the end, and you may no longer be able to boot your machine! Remove LILO (pacman -R lilo) before running
make all if you use GRUB!
If you have a multi-core computer (i.e Dual Core, Quad Core, etc), you can compile the kernel faster by adding the -j flag. This will use all processors at 100%
$ make -j[# of processors + 1]
Install modules
This needs to be done as root.
# make modules_install
This copies the compiled modules into a directory in /lib/modules named by the kernel version and appended string you set in menuconfig. This way, modules are kept separate from those used by other kernels on your machine.
Copy kernel to /boot directory
# cp -v arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-YourKernelName
Make initial RAM disk
The initial RAM disk (initrd option in the GRUB menu, or, the file "initramfs-YourKernelName.img") is an initial root file system that is mounted prior to when the real root file system is available. The initrd is bound to the kernel and loaded as part of the kernel boot procedure. The kernel then mounts this initrd as part of the two-stage boot process to load the modules to make the real file systems available and get at the real root file system. The initrd contains a minimal set of directories and executables to achieve this, such as the insmod tool to install kernel modules into the kernel. In the case of desktop or server Linux systems, the initrd is a transient file system. Its lifetime is short, only serving as a bridge to the real root file system. In embedded systems with no mutable storage, the initrd is the permanent root file system.
If you need any modules loaded in order to mount the root filesystem, build a ramdisk (most users need this). The -k parameter accepts the kernel version and appended string you set in menuconfig and is used to locate the modules in /lib/modules:
# mkinitcpio -k FullKernelName -g /boot/initramfs-YourKernelName.img
You are free to name the /boot files anything you want. However, using the [kernel-major-minor-revision] naming scheme helps to keep order if you: Keep multiple kernels/ Use mkinitcpio often/ Build third-party modules.
If you are using LILO and it cannot communicate with the kernel device-mapper driver, you have to run
modprobe dm-mod first.
Copy System.map
The System.map file is not required for booting Linux. It is a type of "phone directory" list of functions in a particular build of a kernel. The System.map contains a list of kernel symbols (i.e function names, variable names etc) and their corresponding addresses. This "symbol-name to address mapping" is used by:
- Some processes like klogd, ksymoops etc
- By OOPS handler when information has to be dumped to the screen during a kernel crash (i.e info like in which function it has crashed).
Copy System.map to /boot and create symlink
# cp System.map /boot/System.map-YourKernelName
After completing all steps above, you should have the following 3 files and 1 soft symlink in your /boot directory along with any other previously existing files:
vmlinuz-YourKernelName (Kernel) initramfs-YourKernelName.img (Ramdisk) System.map-YourKernelName (System Map)
Bootloader configuration
Add an entry for your amazing new kernel in your bootloader's configuration file - see GRUB or LILO for examples. Note that if you use LILO, the kernel sources include a script to automate the process:
$ arch/i386/boot/install.sh
If you use LILO, remember to type
lilo as root at the prompt to update it.
Using the NVIDIA video driver with your custom kernel
To use the NVIDIA driver with your new custom kernel, see: Installing the driver for a custom kernel. You can also install nvidia drivers from AUR.

ऑक्टोबर २ २००७ ला मी 'Did Natives Create The Bountiful Art You See In Maharashtra?' ह्या विषयावर लिहले होते.
इतिहासकार जॉन के ७व्या शतकातील महाराष्ट्राबद्दल काय म्हणतात पहा.
This bilingual blog - 'आन्याची फाटकी पासोडी' in Marathi- is largely a celebration of visual and/or comic ...तुकाराम: "ढेकणासी बाज गड,उतरचढ केवढी" (Tukaram: For a bedbug a bed is like a castle. so much climbing up and down!)... George Santayana: " Everything in nature is lyrical in its ideal essence, tragic in its fate, and comic in its existence"...William Hazlitt: "Pictures are scattered like stray gifts through the world; and while they remain, earth has yet a little gilding."
मेघदूत: "नीचैर्गच्छत्युपरि च दशा चक्रनेमिक्रमेण"
G C Lichtenberg: "It is as if our languages were confounded: when we want a thought, they bring us a word; when we ask for a word, they give us a dash; and when we expect a dash, there comes a piece of bawdy."
Friedrich Nietzsche: "Everybody wants the same, everybody is the same: whoever feels different goes voluntarily into a madhouse."
Martin Amis: "Gogol is funny, Tolstoy in his merciless clarity is funny, and Dostoyevsky, funnily enough, is very funny indeed; moreover, the final generation of Russian literature, before it was destroyed by Lenin and Stalin, remained emphatically comic — Bunin, Bely, Bulgakov, Zamyatin. The novel is comic because life is comic (until the inevitable tragedy of the fifth act);..."
Werner Herzog: "We are surrounded by worn-out, banal, useless and exhausted images, limping and dragging themselves behind the rest of our cultural evolution."
John Gray: "Unlike Schopenhauer, who lamented the human lot, Leopardi believed that the best response to life is laughter. What fascinated Schopenhauer, along with many later writers, was Leopardi's insistence that illusion is necessary to human happiness."
Justin E.H. Smith: "One should of course take seriously serious efforts to improve society. But when these efforts fail, in whole or in part, it is only humor that offers redemption. So far, human expectations have always been strained, and have always come, give or take a bit, to nothing. In this respect reality itself has the form of a joke, and humor the force of truth."
विलास सारंग: "… इ. स. 1000 नंतर ज्या प्रकारची संस्कृती रुढ झाली , त्यामध्ये साधारणत्व व विश्वात्मकता हे गुण प्राय: लुप्त झाले...आपली संस्कृती अकाली विश्वात्मक साधारणतेला मुकली आहे."

Good news for those who enjoy Halo: Spartan Assault, which was released for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 back in July, as the game is set to receive its first upgrade this week. That falls in line with earlier reports that August would see such an update.
The details for the Windows 8 version were revealed on the official Halo Waypoint site with an August 29th release availability. It's not clear if the Windows Phone 8 version will be updated at the same time, though presumably they will be tied closely together. That version for Windows Phone 8 should also bring support for 512MB devices, as previously reported.
So what can users expect? There's three big new features here: new missions, new achievements and Xbox 360 joystick support.
- Operation Hydra including 5 new missions
- New Achievements (50 points) including Archeology, Silvertip, Tour of duty, A for Effort and Vidmaster Challenge 2.0
- Support for Xbox 360 wired controllers – We knew this was coming from our earlier coverage, but now it's confirmed that users will be able to plug in their Xbox 360 controller to their Surface Pro or desktop to get a new way to interact with the game
Overall, it sounds like a pretty comprehensive update for such an A-list title. We'll keep an eye out for the corresponding Windows Phone 8 version as well, especially for those with 512MB devices.

The DTX500 drum trigger module features Yamaha's high-quality tone generator with realistic acoustic drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds. You get the sounds of hi-end oak, maple, beech and birch drums, with details like velocity-switching samples (that changes sound characteristic as you play harder) so you will feel like you are listening to a live set of drums. The 50 preset kits are ready for you to perform a wide range of music styles, and you can select your favorite sounds to create custom user kits, and add digital reverb effects and master EQ to sweeten the sound. With 427 naturally sampled acoustic drum and percussion voices, the DTX500 module will bring out your best playing by providing highly realistic and powerful drum sounds. The cymbal pads of the DTX500K are compact yet deliver a good feeling and stick rebound for practicing cymbal playing techniques from pianissimo to forte. This module also features a hi-hat system that uses a remote hi-hat pedal controller (included with the kit) and trigger pad to provide realistic hi-hat expression. The pedal and pad can be located anywhere around the kit, much like the popular remote cable hi-hat systems for acoustic drums. Moreover, the hi-hat can express various styles of play such as open/close position, closed pedal and foot splash.

TimeOut London talks Ramblin' Jack Elliott live!
Ramblin' Jack Elliott + Jack Staggers + The Velvet Roots Recommended - Fri May 19, Borderline
This gruff, hobo folker – whom Mama Cass once declared the sexiest man alive – has one hell of a story. He left home at 14 to join the rodeo, where he learnt to play guitar from a clown; he stayed with Woody Guthrie for two years in the early '50s; hung out with Alan Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac in Greenwich Village, before stealing their girlfriends; and used to open for The Grateful Dead. Oh, and there's the small matter of meeting Bob Dylan at Guthrie's deathbed and taking the youngster under his wing.
No less important, he also had a big impact in the UK. He landed here in 1955 with wife June (an ex-girlfriend of James Dean) and took full advantage of the UK folk and blues revival. His link to Guthrie and olde America made him an instant hero and the likes of Davey Graham and Bert Jansch would listen to Elliott tell stories about Guthrie and play his songs.
Still ramblin' at 75, he's enjoying a reappraisal and returns to plug his forthcoming album, 'I Stand Alone'. It features his trademark flat-picking blues licks, weathered yet cheeky vocals and a poignant tale of his last road trip with Guthrie, 'Woody's Last Ride'. With Lucinda Williams, Flea and Sleater-Kinney's Corin Tucker all guesting on the record and an appearance at All Tomorrow's Parties at the behest of Devendra Banhart, he's now been discovered by a new generation. He might not have Dylan's fortune but I bet Bob's old pal is having a lot more fun.

Malloy visits city school to tout extended learning initiative
New London — Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said during a brief tour of Winthrop Magnet Elementary School Tuesday that the city's inclusion in a national program to extend the school day is "an exciting time for New London."
Malloy and state Education Commissioner Stefan Pryor were following up on Monday's announcement that 3,184 children in New London, Meriden and East Hartford next year will have 300 more hours of learning time added to their school year. The initiative is funded by the Ford Foundation and the National Center on Time & Learning.
New London Board of Education members, school officials and the district's special master, Steven Adamowski, also were present.
As part of the Time for Innovation Matters in Education Collaborative, school districts in five states — Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, Tennessee and Colorado — will benefit from the program.
"This is very aggressive, which means it's very good. This should be viewed as an exciting time for New London," Malloy said.
In New London, the extra time won't necessarily come after school; it may come on weekends and during the summer.
Originally, an extended-day pilot program was supposed to be introduced at both Winthrop and Jennings elementary schools, with a possible extension into Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School, in February. But the district's Chief Academic Officer Katherine Ericson said Tuesday that the pilot program will be implemented in January and only at Bennie Dover.
Pending approval of New London's participation by the TIME Collaborative and the state, the city's three elementary schools — Winthrop, Jennings and Nathan Hale — and the middle school will begin full implementation of the extended day in the fall of 2013.
"We see expanded learning time as an extension and an opportunity that we want to create through the year to provide opportunities for success," Superintendent Nicholas A. Fischer said.
"You should never mistake literacy for smarts, and we want to maximize literacy and show people how smart our kids really are," he said.
The trick to sustaining the program beyond its initial three years of funding is to "think outside the box," Malloy said.
"The path forward is how to spend our education funds wisely," he said. "Whatever we need to do to prevail. ... A part of this is to move us beyond the idea that everything we need requires new money."
Funding for the program in New London came in the form of an $809,000 Alliance District grant, of which $120,000 will be dedicated to extended learning time. Adamowski, the special master, called the funding "a gift" to the district.
According to a press release from the National Center on Time & Learning and the Ford Foundation, the program will depend on "a mix of state and federal funding" beyond its first three years. States will receive technical assistance from NCTL and capacity-building grants from the Ford Foundation, which has committed $3 million a year during the next three years to support state efforts across the country, the press release said.
Malloy said school districts could use existing resources creatively, such as by staggering teachers' schedules.
"Not everyone needs to arrive to school at the same time. People can work different shifts, as long as it ends up being the same number of people in the building throughout the day," Malloy said.

The Lumia 920 has sold out at AT&T in the US. Both the black and exclusive cyan variants are reported as so on the online store, which further shows high levels of demand (or minimal amount of stock). We're still looking forward to reporting on just how many Lumia Windows Phones Nokia has managed to ship and sell to consumers in its next document release.
AT&T has had the Lumia 920 on offer for the weekend to celebrate Black Friday, as well as offering early adopters $50 to match the new pricing. Overall, it's good to see the product selling out except for those who are actively attempting to pick one up. White, red and yellow colours are still reportedly available for purchase from AT&T, however.

I'll be speaking next week at RSA. My session is in Friday morning (10:20am, Room 132) and is called:
Why haven't we stamped out XSS and SQLi yet?
RSA talk content
Since all the slides are apparently available for everyone on the RSA website, I can give some more insights about what I will be talking about. We ran an experiment at Coverity in which we analyzed many Java web applications and looked for where developers add dynamic data. The goal is to try to understand what contexts (both HTML contexts and SQL contexts) are frequently used.
The tone of the talk is fairly straightforward: security pros. have been giving advices to developers for a long time, yet we still have these issues on a frequent basis, so we map common advices with what we see from the data.
What you can expect from this talk:
- Some information about observed HTML contexts: that's about 26 different stacks, 45% of them had 2 elements in the stack (e.g., HTML attribute -> CSS code), and the longest ones had 3 elements.
- A list of SQL contexts and good notes about what developers usually do
- Advices for security pros. on how to communicate with developers
Anyhow, this blog post is not only to announce this, but also to give some insights on how we extracted the data from these applications.
Analysis technique
We created and modified different checkers from Security Advisor in order to extract all injection sites that are related to dynamic data regardless of its taintedness. For each injection site, we computed the context in which it belonged to the sub language (one of HTML, JavaScript, CSS, SQL, HQL, and JQPL). This represent our working dataset.
Here's an example of injection sites (using JSP):
... <script type="text/javascript"> var content = '${dynamic_data}'; // context ::= {HTML SCRIPT TAG -> JS STRING} </script> ...
We track the construction of this snippet of HTML page and recorded the injection site such as
${dynamic_data} and its associated context. Since we do not care about the taintedness of
dynamic_data we do not need to track all paths that could lead to a defect (XSS here) and that's where what we did is very different from our XSS checker.
Note that we still need to properly track parts of the HTML page that's being constructed to properly compute the context. This is however part of our context aware global data flow analysis...
For SQL related queries, we essentially need to do the same thing, but we also need to track the parameters being inserted in a query using a parameterized notation: remember, we need to find all dynamic data that can eventually go into a query. That's why the following code:
String sql = "select foo, bar from table where 1=1"; if (cond1) sql += " and user='" + user_name + "'"; // context ::= {SQL_STRING} if (cond2) sql += " and password=?"; // context ::= {SQL_DATA_VALUE}
has 2 interesting injection sites for the experiment, and we do not need to understand the full abstract string (an eventual set of 4 possible strings) from this piece of code.
Note that if there is this fairly common construct:
String sql1 = "select foo, bar from table where "; String and_beg = " and ("; String and_end = " ) "; sql1 += and_beg + "user = '" + user_name + "'" + and_end; sql1 += sql2; // `sql2` is another part of the query coming // from a different procedure or so
we will still properly track the contexts even if all parts (sql1, and_beg, etc.) are inter-procedurally created.
I will quickly explain this during the talk, but essentially tracking HTML contexts on a global data flow analysis is not a trivial part. Moreover, considering the impact of some JavaScript code on the resulting web page (and therefore where the HTML contexts could potentially be transformed to at runtime) is an ever more complex problem. We did not analyze JavaScript.

As we know points (or whoever pays the refs more) wins games, and whoever is our kicker next year will be the guy who creates the most points for the Seahawks.
Steven H is a free agent this off season and I think it is time to part ways with him.
Seahawks | Steven Hauschka struggling with long kicks
Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:43:33 -0800
Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent PK Steven Hauschka has only hit three of his eight field goal attempts of at least 50 yards since joining the Seahawks.
The hawks have an amazing offence that can march down the field, however they are young and may not be the finishers that they will one day be. So a strong legged kicker is the answer to finishing those few drives that fall short. Yes talking about kickers is lame, but winning is not. So what FA would you take over Steven or how early in the draft would you pick a franchise kicker.
Here is a list of FA kickers...
Rob Bironas
Josh Brown
David Buehler
Phil Dawson
Nick Folk
Shayne Graham
Jason Hanson
Nate Kaeding
Olindo Mare
Nick Novak
Mike Nugent
Jake Rogers
Lawrence Tynes
I would spend a 5th on the best kicker in the draft. Just think how many games will be in his hands over the next ten years.

Sony fans have already dodged at least one bullet when it comes to the PlayStation 4: The console's games will not output in 4K resolution. Since last summer, as Sony began to show off its 4K televisions that cost $25,000 and more, rumors have run rampant that Sony would push 4K technology in the PS4. By requiring developers to support that output, Sony could have driven development costs way up. The mistakes of the past, like packing the PlayStation 3 full of so many advanced features that it had to retail for $600, thankfully won't be repeated. 4K games are out on PS4. 4K movies, however, are another story.
Speaking with The Verge, Sony COO Phil Molyneux said that the PlayStation 4 will support the Sony Entertainment Network's "world's first" 4K resolution movie service. Unsurprisingly, the data intensive movies won't be available to stream (for now), only for downloading. The PS4's hard disk drive will be taxed to the limit, though. Even if the PlayStation 4 ships with a 500GB hard drive like the most expensive current PlayStation 3 model, a sizable portion will be taken up by just a single 4K movie. According to Molyneux, 4K movies will clock in at approximately 100GB. That seems a fairly high estimate though, and most 4K movies would likely be half that.
If Sony does intend to eventually stream those movies, that presents further challenges. To stream anything that size without completely hogging all available bandwidth will require a better broadband infrastructure than currently exists in America. If a better fiber system can be established, then streaming 4K movies would be possible, albeit still somewhat impractical. Regardless, that level of streaming technology is still in its infancy.
As Molyneux says, though, the PS4 will support more and more 4K content as time goes on and the technology becomes cheaper and more accessible. At this point, Sony sees 4K technology as the buoy that will keep its floundering television business above water. As it's done with the Bravia TV line and the PS3 in the past, the PS4 and 4K TVs will ultimately be marketed side by side.
It will be years before 4K resolution televisions become a consumer draw, though. It's only now in 2013 that HDTVs are saturating US homes. Roughly 75 percent of US television owners have at least one HD set according to the Leichtman Research Group. In 2008, though, when video game console retail sales were starting to peak for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 titles, HD television ownership was at just 25-percent. The new console generation may be about to start with PlayStation 4 and the next Xbox, but potential consumers are not likely to buy a new television alongside them. 4K may just have to wait for the PlayStation 5.
