Re: Sustainable futures (30/11/17 00:39:58)
people are remarkably stupid and stubborn, especially the "smart" ones.
nuclear fusion is going on right now. 8 or so light minutes away.
but nooooo it's not 100% efficient, so there must be a better way ( since when has 100% efficiency been achieved in energy transfer, ever? formula one engines just broke 50% this past year.)
so they try to make fusion in a torus, rather than utilize the free fusion going on above them.
fortunately there's probably a few hundred million years to go on the free gravity energy round the solar system.
unfortunately there's no time left to cease the destruction of wilderness habitat by humans due to overpopulation.

Psychedelic Soul
Various Artists, "Soul Goes Psychedelic" (Goldenlane). Like so many pivotal comminglings in the history of popular music, this one happened in the late '60s, and carried through the first half of the '70s, before being consumed by the insatiable cocaine-addled beast that was disco. Yes, dear reader, I refer to the marriage of soul music with the expanded consciousness and disregard for convention that marked psychedelic music's nascent phase. Psychedelic soul, as the two-headed monster came to be known, made funk trippy. And Sly Stone and Jimi Hendrix looked down on their creation, and saw that it was good. This new 35-track collection traces the arc of psychedelic soul's existence, starting with great jazz arranger Oliver Nelson's 1975 masterpiece "Skull Session," and moving in non-chronological order through space funk nuggets from the Brothers Johnson, prog-funk tricksters Nektar, Santana, Billy Preston, Dr. John, Ohio Players, and of course, Sly Stone. It all adds up to woozy thrill ride through an era when the word "fusion" had no malicious connotations. Fantastic. ∆∆∆½ (Jeff Miers)
Gershwin, "Rhapsody in Blue," "Strike Up the Band Overture," "Promenade," and "Catfish Row" Suite from "Porgy and Bess" performed by pianist Orion Weiss, clarinetist John Fullam and the Buffalo Philharmonic conducted by Buffalo Philharmonic conducted by JoAnn Falletta. The second volume of Falletta and the BPO's series of Gershwin records finds young pianist Orion Weiss doing a bang-up job on what is probably the greatest Philharmonic Orchestra pops concert piece ever written in America – Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," sometimes affectionately called "The Monster" by pianists who essay it from the underside of its technical requirements (who emphatically do not include Weiss.) It's an idiomatic recording of arrangements of music so much in the American bloodstream that it makes you laugh when your pulse rides along with it. The BPO's soloists in the gorgeous solo parts are splendid. The big BPO disc to come will be Naxos' recording of the "Ilya Murometz" Symphony No. 3 of Reinhold Gliere, but until then this one is certainly a great pleasure." ∆∆∆ (Jeff Simon)
Jeffrey Biegel, "Grand Romance" (Steinway & Sons). I love that pianists are rediscovering the old salon repertoire, challenging music from the past that fell from favor because pianists 50 years ago realized that playing it could hurt their reputation. Jeffrey Biegel has resurrected terrific supervirtuoso gems like Eduard Schutt's "To My Beloved," and three pieces by Moritz Moszkowski. There's also music by Schloezer, Levitzki, Sgambati, and other names lost to time, as well as by Anton Rubinstein. Biegel has a prodigious, crisp, clean technique. The only trouble is, I wonder if it is too crisp and clean for the music in question. It's perfect for clever toccata-like bonbons like Adolf von Henselt's "If I Were a Bird" or the novelty "Rush Hour in Hong Kong" by piano pedagogue Abram Chasins. In pieces with more soul – Moszkowski's "Caprice Espagnol," Biegel should surrender more to the music's devil-may-care panache and wallow more in its richness and romance. Hats off to him for including Schulz-Evler's evocative and challenging "Arabesques on the Blue Danube," a piece that was first recorded in its entirety by Buffalo native Leonard Pennario and is now finding its way into the mainstream, where it belongs. Paderewski's Nocturne in B flat and the delicate "Conversations" by Cesar Cui are two other lovely additions. What fun this disc is. ∆∆∆½ (Mary Kunz Goldman )
Christiane Oelze, soprano, Eric Schneider, Klavier (Solo Musica, Deutschlandfunk). I love that word Deutschlandfunk. The name Oelze, too, is fun simply to type. But aspects of this disc frustrate me. Oelze has a marvelous soprano voice. There is a sweet artlessness about it and it is a pleasure to hear. She is perfect for a smoldering Strauss slow song – in jazz, you would call it a ballad – like "Morgen," or "Die Nacht" or even "Allerseelen." She's less successful, though, in such heated, hormonal songs such as "Cacilie," "Standchen" or "Heimliche Aufforderung" ... oh, dear, if you don't know German you would think I was referring to auto parts, but they really are some of the most passionate love songs ever written, and Oelze is just too slow and tepid with them. She sings them as if she doesn't have any idea of what the songs are about. You have to throw yourself into music like this or else not attempt it at all. The generous disc also includes the "Four Last Songs." Schneider does a fine job with the challenging piano parts. ∆∆½ (M.K.G.)
Jam Band
Phish, "Ventura": six-disc box set (Jemp Records). A wonderful memento of Phish's summer tours of 1997 and 1998, and in particular, the band's stops at the Ventura Fairgrounds during both of those summers. Phish and Southern California have had a long and lovely relationship, and these shows reveal the bedrock of that relationship – torrid, marathon-length shows that rank among the Vermont foursome's finest. Both of these Ventura shows boasted smoking setlists, and Phish hit the ground running both nights. Highlights are too many to list, but the grinding white funk of opener "NICU," the Zappa-meets-Santana eloquence of "Stash," the epic "David Bowie>Cities> David Bowie" jam, the ebullient "Bouncing Round the Room," and the definitive takes on "Bathtub Gin" and "Split Open and Melt" certainly number among them. If you're planning on road-tripping to a show on this year's summer tour, "Ventura" will be good company for the ride. ∆∆∆∆ (J.M.)
Woody Shaw, "The Complete Muse Sessions: Limited Edition Collection" (Mosaic Records seven disc box by mail only from Mosaic, 425 Fairfield Ave., Suite 421, Stamford, Conn. 06902 or www.mosaicrecords.com). There are few more tragic stories in the last 50 years of jazz than the story of Woody Shaw. He was the great contemporary trumpet virtuoso contemporary of Freddie Hubbard and came right after the generation of Lee Morgan. Wynton Marsalis - who comes to Artpark in Lewiston on Monday – has acknowledged his harmonic influence. Though there are many who prefer his later, universally acclaimed records on Columbia (most notably "Rosewood"), it's these, his Muse records released between 1974 with the classic "The Moontrane" and 1987 that may the most impressive chunk of his recorded achievement. His story begins the way a good bebop trumpet virtuoso's should as a sideman on Blue Note (in 1965 on Horace Silver's classic record "Cape Verdean Blues") but very early on, his playing with Eric Dolphy marked him as one of his time's great inside/outside players. The truly astonishing disc among the nine first-rate records from the Muse label captured and reissued on these seven discs is "The Iron Men," a date from 1977 with saxopohonists Arthur Blythe and Anthony Braxton, pianist Muhal Richard Abrams, bassist Richard Davis and drummer Victor Lewis. The roster of fellow musicians all through these records is remarkable, from Joe Henderson, Larry Young, Ron Carter and Joe Chambers in 1965 to Steve Turre, Kirk Lightsey, Ray Drummond and Carl Allen in 1987. Shaw's rise and decline through failing eyesight, a failing marriage (to agent Maxine Gregg who moved in with then husband Dexter Gordon in 1983) ended mysteriously when he fell off a subway platform onto the tracks in an event which no one has ever been sure wasn't deliberate. He lost his left arm and subsequently died in the hospital of kidney failure at the age of 44. (But then, he was near-blind at the time.) Shaw's beginning to flex his muscles as a leader on these superb discs from Joe Fields' Muse Label. They range from hard bop, post-bop to avant-garde. A strong early portrait of a musician who just didn't live long enough. ∆∆∆½ (J.S.)
Joel Harrison, "19: Infinite Possibility" (Sunnyside). It's not true that the only great jazz orchestras in the Gil Evans tradition these days are European. This brilliant disc – one of the best of what is a very good jazz year – comes from a jazz guitarist and composer whose band on the disc not only uses Evansish French and English horns but marimba and vibes and includes the composer/leader's searing slide guitar solos. This music is ablaze with ever-shifting instrumental color and fine solos by tenor saxophonist Donny McCaslin, pianist Daniel Kelly and trombonist Alan Ferbers and Curtis Folwkes. Unlike Evans' own music (rather than his conducting of Cecil Taylor's), Harrison's music suddenly bursts into Taylorish splatter and dissonant jazz expressionism. There really isn't a moment on this disc that isn't riveting although the number of eclectic ways that it is makes it very rare. Harrison continues to be one of the more dramatically talented guitarist/composers in jazz. ΩΩΩΩ (J.S.)

Justices take up affirmative action
The Supreme Court jumped back into the fractious debate over affirmative action Tuesday, hearing a challenge to a statewide ban Michigan voters imposed in 2006 on consideration of race or gender in public education, employment or contracting.
The fate of the measure appeared to be in the hands of Justice Anthony Kennedy, who suggested at the outset of the argument that the Michigan constitutional amendment was clearly invalid under a three-decade-old Supreme Court precedent.
Story Continued Below
"I have difficulty distinguishing" between Michigan's ban and a Washington state ban on racial busing that the court struck down in 1982, Kennedy said.
However, later in the hour-long afternoon session, Kennedy seemed troubled by the implications of the rule the court applied in that case forbidding race-related changes to the structure of the political system. He appeared concerned that the rule might sweep so broadly as to be unwise or unworkable.
( PHOTOS: Who's who on the Supreme Court)
A ruling in Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action upholding the Michigan constitutional amendment is unlikely to end all affirmative action programs, but it could lay out a road map for those looking to end those programs in individual states.
Major universities and civil rights groups have supported the legal battle against the Michigan measure, approved by voters in 2006, 58 percent to 32 percent.
The other justices lined up largely as expected Tuesday. Justices Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito seemed strongly inclined to find the Michigan affirmative action ban constitutional, as did Chief Justice John Roberts. Justice Clarence Thomas remained silent as is his custom, but based on past rulings is also expected to wind up in favor of allowing the Michigan measure to stand.
Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg made it fairly evident they would vote to strike down the ballot initiative, which became an amendment to the state's constitution.
( Also on POLITICO: Affirmative action reappears before Supreme Court)
Justice Stephen Breyer was harder to read and at one point seemed to share some of the same line-drawing concerns as Kennedy, Roberts and Alito, but Breyer has traditionally supported autonomy for educational institutions.
Justice Elena Kagan recused herself from the case.
As a legal matter, the Michigan case is likely to turn not on the merits of affirmative action itself, but on the viability of a longstanding legal principle that the court laid out back in 1969. Under the "political restructuring doctrine," the court invalidated a change to the city charter in Akron, Ohio, that required all measures relating to racial or religious discrimination be put to a referendum.
In 1982, the Supreme Court used the same theory to throw out the Washington state busing ban.
The court found both changes unconstitutional because they placed a special and unfair burden on racial and religious minorities seeking to assert their interests in the political process.
( Also on POLITICO: Feds: Don't back off affirmative action)
Opponents of the Michigan measure say it acts similarly, by prohibiting minorities from seeking preferences in the college admissions process while alumni and donors can continue to seek special accommodations for their children.
American Civil Liberties Union attorney Mark Rosenbaum urged the justices to strike down the ban, arguing that it effectively prevents a student from arguing to admissions officers that his or her race should be taken account of in the process.
"That student is shown the door and told, 'Go raise $5 [million] to $15 million and repeal Prop. 2 and then come back," Rosenbaum argued.
"The people of the state of Michigan have multiple options…..One option they don't have is to treat racial matters differently than all other matters," he added, calling the measure a "racial classification."
"It's not a racial classification," Scalia interjected. "It's a prohibition of racial classification."
Several justices asked a version of the same question but got few answers: Who could ban affirmative action without unconstitutionally tilting the political process against minorities? Since faculty and administrators generally set admissions policies, could a dean overrule them? A college president? The state legislature?
"At what point is it that your objection takes force?" Kennedy told Rosenbaum. "I just don't understand the declension here, or the crescendo — whatever you call it."

Inside Out: Modernism and Postmodernism in Chinese Literary Culture
Wendy Larson, Anne Wedell-Wedellsborg
Aarhus University Press, 1993 - Literary Collections - 203 pages
This collection of papers is the outcome of the symposium "Modernism and Postmodernism in Chinese Literature", which took place at Aarhus University, Denmark in October 1991, was arranged by Bei Dao and Anne Wedell-Wedellsborg of the Institute of East Asian Studies. One of the guiding ideas behind this initiative was to bring together scholars from Europe and America with China in the 1980s, as scholars, critics, editors or as writers. Those who study China, regardless of national origin, are increasingly abandoning the "objective" stance of writing about culture, and insisting on their own right to become participants in the creation of culture. This book brings together essays written by those who breach the categories -- scholars, cultural critics and writers, ethnic Chinese and non-Chinese. All of the contributors are working or studying in Western universities, and many have published in the overseas literary journal "Jintian". This mix marks the study of Chinese literature as a new space where Chinese literary discourse is not only studied, but also created. Although contributions to this volume are diverse, a central theme is the attempt to discover how literature is changing in definition and social function. Essays analyse the concepts of the autonomy of art and creativity, modernism and subjectivity, and the form and structure of narrative language. The focus on theory and rhetoric that informs these essays highlights a concern with the way in which literary discourse is represented by intellectuals, and the way in which this representation itself becomes a frame that constructs literary meaning. Investigations into the Mao Wenti (the Maoist literary style) that persists even in post-Mao writers, the seemingly contentless language of Can Wue's work, the concept "pure literature" and the anti-modernity stance of the poetic Feifei (No-no) school all provide clues to the developing cultural consciousness of contemporary China.

There certainly has been no love lost between Warren Sapp and members of the New York Giants in the past. Sapp has downplayed the accomplishments of Michael Strahan for years and continued last week by saying that he would put Simeon Rice in the Hall of Fame before electing Strahan.
Now one of Strahan's former teammates has decided to take issue with Sapp.
According to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post, former Giants running back Tiki Barker didn't take too kindly to the comments regarding Strahan.
"Warren's an idiot," Barber said. "He just wants to say things to be idiotic. I played with Stray for my whole career. He is the greatest of the great. He is a great teammate, he kept things light, but on game day he was as serious as a heart attack and it showed in his play."
Sapp said that Strahan's numbers were inflated because he lined up on the left side of the defensive line and was therefore going against right tackles as opposed to left tackles for the majority of his career.
"Warren doesn't know, never played with him," Barber said. "I don't put any credence in his opinion. "I hope Stray doesn't let it bother him. I don't think it does."
It is a bit humorous to see Barber sticking up for Strahan, however. Barber once ripped Strahan telling him "he should just be quiet" when it came to comments regarding contract negotiations with the Giants.

I had my knitting projects in a travel tray. When the ambulance arrived Sunday to take him to the ER, I grabbed my travel tray and my Side Effect, put them in my LS and headed for the ambulance. For Tuesday, when I knew it would be a longer wait, I used my Swift. It held a Lunchbot, bag of snacks, travel tray with three small knitting projects, PCSB ( clean shirt and bottoms for husband) and a Side Effect and a small water bottle.

Andrew Bostick '12, who traveled through France last summer learning about organic farming, and Peter Block '11 and Faye Strongin '10 who spent their internship with Weaver's Way, are spearheading the second year of an on-campus vegetable and herb garden.
This year the garden is doubling in size and the planting variety is being increased. Students involved with Claudia Kent's gardening class for Physical Education credit will be pitching in with planting, weeding, watering and more alongside dozens of other volunteers. Seedlings were started in the greenhouse before spring break and planting will begin next week.
Check out some of what will be planted this year:
- String beans
- Golden & red beets
- Broccoli
- Purple Haze and Nelson carrots
- Cucumbers
- Walla Walla and Red Wing onions
- Sugar snap peas
- Gourmet, Ace, and Red Rocket (chili) peppers
- Regiment spinach
- Genovese basil
- Chives
- Rosemary
- Mint
- Oregano
- Dill
- Cilantro
- Creeping thyme

We intend to design an extensible cross-desktop storage service for PIM data and meta data providing concurrent read, write, and query access. It will provide unique desktop wide object identification and retrieval.
This diagram illustrates the basic aspects of the Akonadi architecture. It's built around a central storage which is accessed through a language and platform neutral protocol. On top of this protocol a set of APIs is provided which are used to access the PIM data in the storage. There are two kinds of users of the APIs. First, there are the applications like Kontact, KOffice or Evolution. Second, there are resources which transfer data between the central Akonadi storage and external sources. This can be groupware servers like OX or GroupWise, other storage mechanisms like iCalendar files or access through standard protocols like POP or IMAP.
The diagram only lists some example applications and resources. Akonadi is designed to be accessible to a broad range of applications and resource implementations. It's part of the concept that it's easy to add additional APIs and users of the APIs.
Akonadi is currently being developed in the KDE Git repositories. You find the Akonadi server at KDE Support/Akonadi and the KDE Akonadi client libraries at KDE PIM Libraries/Akonadi.
Releases of the server can be downloaded from download.akonadi-project.org, the client libraries are included in the regular KDE releases beginning with KDE 4.1.
The overall design of Akonadi as well as of its building blocks is described as part of the API documentation. Further information can be found on KDE TechBase.
Akonadi was introduced at the 4th annual KDE PIM meeting at Osnabrück. Documentation about the discussions which took place there and some more background information can be found at the Osnabrück 4 pages.
Akonadi also was a hot topic at the 5th Osnabrück meeting.
Robert Zerus' master thesis Storing Personal Information Management Data talks in depth about the server architecture, focusing on the database design, PIM data storage and consistency as well as some aspects of the client/server communication.
Since it's founding early 2006 there have been a number of talks and presentations all over the world that covered Akonadi or some of the approaches and technologies chosen for its implementation. The following list contains a few of them:

Jerrod Niemann to Premiere New Single 'Shinin' On Me' Next Week
Jerrod Niemann fans get ready -- you will soon be able to hear your first notes of the singer-songwriter's next single, titled 'Shinin' On Me,' when he hosts his second StageIt performance on Monday (Feb. 27).
The new tune is one that Niemann co-wrote with Lee Brice, Rob Hatch and Lance Miller while out on tour with Brad Paisley last summer. The song will be the first single from Niemann's sophomore album, slated for release later this year.
Some of Niemann's fans who have caught him out on the road in the recent weeks opening for Miranda Lambert may have heard the song already, but for a majority of his fan base, they can hear 'Shinin' On Me' -- as well as a handful of other new songs that will be found on the soon-to-be-released album -- next week for the very first time.
"I've been playing some new songs out with Miranda, but this will definitely be the first time we'll play a couple of new songs that nobody's heard," Niemann tells Taste of Country. "The StageIt [shows are] always fun because you really don't know what to expect yourself. That's what's great … there are no rules about it. Last time we did it, we just did a little tour around the studio and explained some of the stuff we were doing. This time I think we're going to perform the single and also explain how it was written and some of the details behind that … maybe break out some more of the new music. We might even have some surprises."
Niemann's StageIt performance is set to broadcast live at 8:35PM ET on Monday, Feb. 27. Click here to reserve your spot to view the show. 'Shinin' On Me' will hit country radio in April with a music video to follow.

QtCreator is an IDE from Nokia for Qt. It contains QtDesigner for UI design.
Qt Designer is a graphical program which allows you to easily build user interfaces, using a drag n drop interface. Here is a short example how it can go, for more information read the user documentation.
Call Qt Designer from within the QtCreator IDE:
Add the widgets you want by drag-and-drop
Select the mainwindow. This is the one un-intuitive step. To lay out the objects in the mainwindow, you do not select the objects in the mainwindow, but the mainwindow itself.
Select Form -> Lay Out in a Grid
You get a decent look, and if you resize the window, the widgets resize as well.
To use KDE classes like KMessageBox, you need to tell qtcreator to use the KDE libraries when building. Go to your home directory, cd into yourproject and modify yourproject.pro. Add a line
LIBS += -lkdeui
Then you can start using KDE classes in your code.
To add a toolbar, right-click on the UI and choose "Add Toolbar". Then you can set icons and text in your mainwindow's constructor with code like this:
ui->toolBar->addAction(QIcon("/usr/share/icons/oxygen/22x22/apps/ktip.png"),"hello world");
This describes how to use QtCreator to integrate existing KDE 4 applications. It has been tested with QtCreator 1.2.80 and SUSE Linux 11.1 but should work same or similar with every combination. As an example KDE application we use ktimetracker from the kdepim module, other applications should work analog.
File -> Open -> kdepim/CMakeLists.txt.
. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DLIB_SUFFIX=64 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull
DLIB_SUFFIX=64 means that you want to install your libraries into directories named lib64.
Projects -> Active run configuration=ktimetracker -> build settings -> build steps -> make -> show details -> activate ktimetracker.

(Binghamton, NY) – Broome County Executive Debbie Preston today announced the launch of a new Countywide Dental Network Card Program.
"We saw the need in our communities and found one more way that we can help our residents stay healthy," says Preston.
"The cost of dental care is expensive," said County Executive Preston. "I'm excited for the Countywide launch of our Dental Network Card Program to help more people in Broome County get access to affordable dental care."
The Dental Network Card program helps individuals and families who don't have dental insurance obtain dental care at more affordable rates. Every individual and family is eligible for the Dental Network Card program; no one will be turned away.
By purchasing a Dental Network Card, cardholders will have access to dentists who have agreed to charge reduced fees for dental services. The program is not an insurance program, but is intended to assist patients for whom cost is a barrier to receiving dental treatment.
It is quick, easy, and affordable to sign up. After completing the one page enrollment form, it will only cost $36 a year for an individual or $52 a year for a family. There is no contract and participants can choose to renew their dental card yearly or cancel at anytime.
Immediately after signing up, participants will gain access to 66 participating general dentists, 18 specialists, and two orthodontists in Broome County. Cardholders can save up to 37% for an exam and cleaning and 30% for x-rays.
"Too many people in our County go without dental insurance," Says Preston, "Especially for our seniors; this program will help them get needed care at more affordable prices."
Since 1978, Health Economics Group, Broome County's Dental Network Card partner, has helped thousands of Americans deal with the rising cost of health care. Broome County will be joining Nassau, Warren, Rockland, Albany, and Monroe Counties in benefiting from this program.

I need to create a function "global-set-key-future", which does the same as "global-set-key", except that the new keybinding goes into effect in future sessions.
There are at least two ways to do this, neither of which I know how to do:
1) Define a function "global-set-key-future". First, have it execute global-set-key within it (how to run it in the 'foreground' and have it prompt the user for the key, etc?). Then, programmatically get the last command executed by the lisp interpreter as a string. Finally insert that into code snippet into .emacs. How do I retrieve the code that is being run by the interpreter? I know about the variable last-command, but that only describes the name of the last command executed; I also need its parameters, or rather the code-snippet that was run by the interpreter (since the command uses user prompts).
2) Define a function "global-set-key-future". Attempt to recreate the code-snippet by hand. This would require prompting for a key, and converting that into the vector of characters representing the desired key event. For example, the key sequence "control meta x control meta f" would have to be translated into "\C-x\C-f". What function does this translation?
3) Modify the source of global-set-key, so that whatever it does, it inserts its changes into .emacs.
Note that I am aware that it is possible to manually create these keybindings, but I am interested in creating them interactively like does global-set-key.

The t-shirt bit comes from a posting on Tony Ortega's Underground bunker.Karin Pouw wrote:From Tony Ortega:
The mailing also came with a list of loyal Scientologists who have already donated. Can you guess who made the top of the list?
Well sure, the richest Scientologists in the world, Bob and Trish Duggan, lead the list once again. And based on their status — LRH Hall Member of Elite Honor — we'd have to conclude that they've given more than a $1 million to the project. (We've estimated that they've also given about $50 million to the International Association of Scientologists fund.) [UPDATE: Another list shows that in order to get the "Elite Honor" level, the donation by the Duggans must be at least $2.5 million.]
Hey, if Bob and Trish are leading the way, how can this thing lose! Take our check and send that T-Shirt right away!
http://tonyortega.org/2014/12/26/give-s ... sy-tshirt/
Here's the reward list from there.
Scientology works on what it calls flows and stats. If someone involved with Scientology gives money then thatFriend of LRH Hall, $1,000: Commendation, T-Shirt

gets them in the habit of giving Scientology money and they can be sure that Scientology registrars
will be coming to them for more money.
Let's say someone involved with Scientology goes for the t-shirt and forks over $1,000. Everyone will applaud
and love bomb them for being so upstat . . . until next week after this Thursday at 2. At that time their
donation for that week is zero and they are downstat and a degraded piece of shit until they get their stat
up. So registrars will have a meeting early in the week and assess that person to see if they have sufficient
assets, credit or sufficient level of threat can be brought against them to fork over more. If there's the
slightest possibility of getting more from them registrars will be on them to get it.

It is true that wget is ultimate command line downloader. But when it comes to download acceleration wget fails to deliver the download speed.
Linux and UNIX oses can use Axel and prozilla programs. These programs opens more than one HTTP/FTP connection per download and each connection transfer its own, separate, part of the file. It may sound weird, but it works very well in practice.
For example, some FTP sites limit the speed of each connection; therefore opening more than one connection at a time multiplies the allowable bandwidth. Be forewarned that some FTP operators don't like it when you do this. It is better to open the additional connections on several servers and download from all of them simultaneously.
This article covers the installation and usage of download accelerator. You will surprise to see how much difference these accelerators program can make. read more…

I asked a question some time back (after the deprecation of the homework tag) that was for homework. I didn't want to write a dorky sentence at the top of my question that said "this is a homework question" .
So, rather than waste text, I added homework to the body of my question (not the tags). My post was edited pretty quickly - the homework tag was removed and the kludgy sentence was added to the top of my post in its place.
What is the correct/preferred way of signaling that my question is indeed a homework question?

Does not work. It is a database of emails that have been stolen, filled out by sites that have been hacked, so if someone does not make dates of hacking available that information is missing.

AUGUSTA, Ga., April 11 (UPI) -- Sergio Garcia, having grown into a sometimes disgruntled veteran still looking for a major title, shared the lead Thursday after one round of the Masters.
Garcia, who in recent years took time off from golf in hopes of regaining his enthusiasm for the game and who has said he is perhaps not good enough to capture a major championship, was tied for the top with Marc Leishman after they both shot a 6-under 66 at the Augusta National Golf Club.
On a day in which 32 players broke par, an international cast of characters lined up to make a run at the year's first major crown.
World No. 1 Tiger Woods shot a 2-under 70 and said he was satisfied with the result. Nevertheless, he failed to take full advantage of the benign conditions and there were a dozen players in front of him including three former Masters winners.
Leishman, who captured his first PGA Tour event last year, birdied five holes on the back nine early in the day to take the lead. Garcia then got off to a hot start in the afternoon with three birdies in his first six holes and put together a bogey-free round to earn a share of the top spot.
Garcia, 33, entered the sport as a young sensation when he turned pro in 1999. Eight of his 23 worldwide victories have come in the United States, including The Players Championship, but he is still looking for a win that would serve as the signature achievement of his career.
Alone in third at 67 was Dustin Johnson, who has had two near misses in major events, and the crowd at 68 included David Lynn, Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano, Matt Kuchar, Rickie Fowler and former Masters champions Trevor Immelman and Fred Couples.
Fowler shot his 68 despite suffering double bogeys on both the first and 10th holes. Couples, at age 53, would be golf's oldest major champion by 5 years if he could pull off a win this week.
Zach Johnson, another Masters winner, shared 10th place at 69 with Jim Furyk and Adam Scott. Among those tied with Woods at 70 were David Toms, Lee Westwood, Justin Rose, K.J. Choi and Brandt Snedeker.
Phil Mickelson, hoping to tie Woods and Arnold Palmer with a fourth Masters victory, recovered from a sluggish start to record four birdies in a five-hole stretch and shot a 71.
Rory McIlroy, who came into the tournament with high hopes after challenging at last week's tour stop in San Antonio, posted an even-par 72 that included four bogeys on the back nine.
Guan Tianliang, invited to the Masters at age 14 after he won the Asian Amateur title, shot a 73.
The first round was played in ideal golfing weather with little wind and only an occasional raindrop instead of the thunderstorms that had been forecast.
Heavy rains were expected to fall overnight, however, and the early starters were likely to find a soft golf course when they begin their second round on Friday.
Among the day's highlights was an ace recorded at the par-3 sixth by Jamie Donaldson. He went on to fire a 74.

LOUIS VUITTON TWIST STITCHED EPI SHOULDER BAGCategories:Louis Vuitton

Ooohh, what do we have here? Chanel Stitched Wallets…a marvel, indeed! If you're into designer Small Leather Goods (because the little things do come a long way), then this is for you! Anything that comes in luxe lambskin is worth having…this included.
There are two variations in this design – the zipped wallet, and the flap wallet. If you're more of a put-in-all-in-there kind of girl, the zipped kind would work well. On the other hand, if you love timeless forms, the classic flap would be an excellent choice. Aside from being highly functional, both of these babies exude exquisite craftsmanship – look closer and you'll see that the stitching and details on both pieces are no joke. You could tell.

Their Majesties will pay a State Visit to the United Kingdom from March 8th to March 10th, after accepting the invitation issued by Queen Elizabeth II. King Felipe, the youngest European monarch and the one with the shortest reign, will visit Europe's oldest monarch with the longest reign.
The King is related to both Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, through Queen Victoria Eugenia, King Juan Carlos grandmother and through her mother's Greek and Prussian ancestors. The families intermarried for the first time in 1170, when Henry II of England married his daughter Eleanor to King Alfonso VIII of Castile who become Queen Leonor, one of the namesakes of the Princess of Asturias. Since then, four English princesses became Queens in Spain, and four Spanish princesses became English Queens. Moreover, Felipe II was during his short marriage to Mary I of England King Consort.
Photo: The Prince of Asturias welcomes the Queen of the United to Kingdom to Spain in 1988.
The British Ambassador to Spain, Simon Manley, has welcomed the announcement of a State Visit to the United Kingdom.
"The British government is delighted that Their Majesties King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spainhave accepted the invitation from Her Majesty The Queen," said Mr Manley.
"This State Visit will celebrate not only the long and deep royal and historic ties between our two countries, but also our strong relationship as partners in the European Union, NATO and United Nations. We enjoy close connections in terms of culture, trade, investment, security and defence. This is an opportunity to celebrate and deepen those links."
Today, the United Kingdom and Spain are close partners in the EU, NATO and United Nations, among numerous international organisations; and cooperate together through the UN Security Council, of which Spain is a current member. Nearly 300,000 Britons are registered as residents in Spain and 15 million visitors came from the UK last year, whilst an estimated 131,000 Spaniards are resident in the UK and two million visited in 2014.
His Royal Highness the Infante Don Carlos, Duke of Calabria (1938-2015)
Don Carlos de Borbón-Dos Sicilias y Borbón-Parma, Infante of Spain, Prince of the Two-Sicilies and Duke of Calabria passed away at his state in Ciudad Real on October 5, 2015, at 5:20 pm. His Royal Highness, doyen of the Knights of the Order of the Golden Fleece, was very close to his cousin King Juan Carlos, who created him Infante of Spain in 1994 and is survived by his mother, the Infanta Alicia, his wife, Princess Anne of France, their five children, Cristina, María, Pedro, Inés and Victoria, numerous grandchildren and his two sisters.
As it is the wish of HM the King, and as it befits his condition of Infante of Spain, Don Carlos will be interred in Pantheon of the Infantes at the Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo del Escorial on Thursday, after a private funeral mass. His son Prince Ped ro announced that another funeral mass will be held later.
Since Felipe and Letizia are going to be in Washington DC and Florida next week: Did the palace post a full schedule and is there a chance to see them there? like a public engagement or anything or will they only do private engagements?
They will probably release the schedule the next days.
I would also follow the thread at TRF for updates :)
Not yet. They usually release the agenda of engagements on Friday, so I guess this Friday we'll have the trip's activities detailed and scheduled.
Unfortunately the SRF is very stingy with the agendas of foreign trips. They usually post a few lines ( a la "Their Majesties will pay an official visit to the United States of American where they will visit Washington DC and Florida") and only a few days (sometimes hours!) before the start of the trip elaborate on that. The press has published part of their schedule:
On September 15 they'll be in George Washington's Mount Vernon and the White House, on September 16 they'll be at the Spanish Embassy for a business meeting and at Georgetown Un iversity for a meeting with scientists. On September 17 Felipe will dictate the inaugural conference of the academic year 2015-2016, at the Freedom Tower of Miame Dade College. On the last day of the trip they'll be in Saint Augustine to mark the city's 450th anniversary and to attend a Spain-United States Forum.
Some events (meeting at the White House, at the Embassy…) are obviously closed to the public. Others, like the ones in Georgetown or Miami Dade depend on the public's access to those places, and in Saint Augustine for example they'll tour the city, so presumably anyone could see them.
I was surprised as well, I mean, there are several reasons why Sofía should have, at least, the Royal Victorian Order:
- She's a relative of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh
(the Greek is strong here)and to Queen Elizabeth as well (through a further link though)
- She's consort to a (now former) Head of State. Not a common HoS, but a KING.
- She's one of the most worldwide respected Queens of all time.
- She has a great relationship with the Prince of Wales and his family
(I mean, they spent holidays together ?!?!?!)
- She's a direct descendant of Queen Victoria through Victoria, Princess Royal, who was the mothe r of Princess Victoria of Prussia, consort of King Constantine I of the Hellenes, grandfather of Sofía.
- She has honorary doctorates in several world universities, the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge among them.
I'm pretty sure we're talking of "my" Queen Sofía, no? ;)
Elizabeth II doesn't give orders to female consorts, that's why she doesn't have a British order. Neither Sonja, nor Silvia, nor Josephine Charlotte, nor Paola, nor Fabiola…ever received a British order. However, the last two Princes Consorts of The Netherlands received British orders. In my opinion it's sexist and outdated and I hope Charles changes it.

HM Queen Letizia of Spain
Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia in "Lo nunca visto de Felipe y Letizia" (x)
(via claireofluxembourg)
Isabella, acutely aware of the gaps in her own education, placed extreme importance on how the children were raised and educated. She had not been taught Latin in childhood, which meant she had to undertake the more difficult task of learning it as an adult, and she had had to hire a tutor for herself, the female scholar Beatriz Galindo. Isabella and all the ladies in her court, including her daughters, participated in these lessons.
Humiliated when she made errors in Latin, Isabella was careful not to repeat the mistake of giving her children a second-rate education when they would be expected to operate in the most elevated intellectual levels of society. Isabella's emphasis on girls'education helped spawn an academic revolution for women across Europe, as her court set a new standard of expectations for females who would rule either on their own or in partnership with their husbands. Under Queen Isabella's watchful and dema nding eye, the children of the court received an extraordinary education.
Isabella's children were taught not only the Bible and the works of Saints Augustine, Jerome, and Gregory, but also the classics, including Seneca, Prudentius, and the Roman historians . Isabella saw humanism not as the antithesis to religion but as a complement to it. Descendants of the Greeks, she and other Spanish nobles were creatures of the classical world as well as the biblical one (…).
The Dutch scholar Erasmus would later describe Catherine as "miraculously learned for a woman" and a better scholar than her eventual husband, the erudite King Henry VIII. Princess Juana could converse easily and casually in Latin with courtiers from other countries, and by the time she was a teenager, she was reciting and composing verse in that language." —
Kirstin Downey, Isabella. The Warrior Queen. (via

After gradually showing improvement during each competition this season, the Winder-Barrow High School competition cheerleaders had their breakthrough performance Saturday in Columbus.
WBHS won its division with a score of 268.
"Nothing fell and we put in a new pyramid," said coach Jerrie Hulsey. "We had a few bobbles, but all in all it was a better day. We maxed out in all categories for difficulty. We won't change anymore of the routine. We'll just focus on cleaning it up. Our new dance and pyramid maxed out on points. It wasn't as clean as I wanted, but we had a much better day."
The Cheer Doggs will be back in action Saturday, Oct. 20, when they compete at Loganville High School.

Today, a man flew a small plane into a building in Austin. It's captured our attention for most of the day. It turns out that the pilot was very frustrated and did what is effectively a suicide attack on an IRS office. He also torched his own house with his wife and child in it. It appears that one of his intents was to get the world to read his suicide note. His drastic measures have proven successful.
Although I can't understand or endorse what he did, I found a lot in his note that I agreed with. The main theme was about how so much of American life is gamed by the big guys and how little power the little guy has to stop it. He railed against tax codes that exploited his profession, health care, the legal code, the political system that fails to represent the people, and the Catholic church. He called the church "vulgar" and "corrupt" and bemoaned the fact that they have received tax exemptions that helped make them wealthy. I agree completely with the spirit of his complaints, even though I don't understand the details of his situation.
I'm a reasonably intelligent guy and I cannot for the life of me figure out why the United States gives a tax exemption to the Catholic Church. The Church seems to exemplify the rigged system that we labor under. They have run a pedophile ring for decades in multiple countries and done everything in their power to evade responsibility. I've written about this before. Yes, some priests have received the justice they deserved, but to date none of the scheming hierarchy has seen the inside of a court, let alone a jail. The Catholic Church is a criminal organization that should have its assets seized under the RICO (racketeering) law until a full investigation can be performed. The assets of the church should be used to benefit its victims. I simply cannot fathom why they are still receiving a tax exemption.
To add insult to injury, the Pope has evaded a law suit in the pedophile scandal by claiming diplomatic immunity. Some people think he's the head of some state. Ok. If they want to play that card, then let's make all of the Catholic hierarchy Vatican citizens and revoke their US passports. They clearly have little respect for US law and they're only following orders, like good little immoral soldiers they are. If they are convicted of a crime, they can be convicted or deported like any other badly-behaving alien. They want to have their cake and eat it too. When they can evade laws or screw with other countries, they're a foreign country. When they want to make money, they're a charity. So far, they've been very successful at the game.
I will continue to remind people of the corruption of the Catholic Church, but I don't see them being treated any differently in the foreseeable future. Catholic laity are still deeply loyal to the Church. They appear to be happy to support the pedophilia and corruption because the value their magic crackers and ticket to perpetual orgasm over any sort of human moral virtue. Either that, or they're hopelessly mindlessly ignorant. If a Catholic reader has a more generous interpretation, I'd like to hear it. Perhaps that reader can also explain why anyone should trust them on their woo-woo unverifiable supernatural claims when they spend so much time lying about real-world claims. They're really good at lying, as near as I can tell.
The Catholic Church doesn't run the US legal system. (At least I hope not.) They clearly seem to have help from outside their church. It appears that the majority of Christians value "religious tolerance". What this has come to mean is a situational moral blind spot when the perpetrators of some atrocity happen to be fellow Christians. You also hear it as "Thou Shalt Not Judge". In practice, it's an agreement among thugs: "You don't draw attention to my sociopathic Rapture snuff porn business and I won't draw attention to your pedophile ring." "You let me pray my sick child to death and I won't call you on your faith-healing con game." The list goes on. In the end, practical Christianity is about screwing someone and inhibiting anyone from doing something about it. It's worked well for Christian leaders so far, why would they want to change it? Why would believers risk their ticket to nirvana actually doing something when they can take comfort in prayer (which has the same practical effect as masturbation)?
Lest you think I'm making this up, I have gotten a number of e-mails from Christians who seem to be shocked that I'm rattling the skeleton's in Christianity's closet. (I'm not party to the agreement between thugs.) Their biggest desire seems to be to shut me up. They seem to know what I'm saying is true, but they don't want to hear it. One correspondent actually wanted me to enter a deal where if I lost, I would never say anything bad about a Christian again (even if it was true). That alone speaks volumes about Christianity to me. The moral failings of Christianity are a big part of my motivation to be an outspoken advocate for atheism. They should be a reason why we deny tax exemptions to such blatantly corrupt religious organizations.
Sadly, Christianity's corruption is only part of the overall screwed up situation we're in. I'm doing what I can with the tools I have. I would encourage all of you to do what you can to get us out of the myriad messes we're all in.

Oklahoma Officials Offer Consolidation of Information Technology Services to School Districts
Public school districts would save millions of dollars by hooking up with a state agency to consolidate information technology workers and share in services, Oklahoma's information technology czar told a legislative panel Thursday.
The state has high-speed data transmission lines across the state, which especially would help schools in rural areas where high-speed Internet service is spotty, Alex Pettit, the state's chief information officer, said.
The state Office of Management and Enterprise Services, which has overseen the consolidation of information technology services in state agencies the past couple of years, also has staff in place to perform information technology-related duties that teachers, coaches and others in smaller districts are doing in addition to their regular school duties, Pettit said.
The strongest appeal is savings, Pettit told members of the House of Representatives Government Modernization Committee.
It would improve the services, and school districts would be able to provide them at a lower cost, he said.
Pettit estimated savings of about $8 million for schools by using one platform across the state just for student information services. School districts would pay for the individual cost of providing the service for each student. Pettit estimated the cost per student could be cut in half, from nearly $17 per student to $8 per student.
12 Predictions for Tech in Government in 2013
Innovation is the name of the game in government these days, as shown by the rise of Chief Innovation Officers in the public sector -- and the need to promote job growth, entice businesses to the community, and hone in on transparency and open data initiatives.
And the federal government saw some big changes with the introduction of the Digital Government Strategy in 2012, wrote Anthony Calabrese, a digital communications manager at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which he said also had a big year for innovation in 2012.
While 2012 was big, Calabrese notes that 2013 promises to be even bigger -- and he and his colleagues at both the HHS's Digital Communications Division and the Federal Web Managers Council teamed up to draft 12 big ideas and predictions for 2013. Though some of these predictions are federal-level focused, that doesn't mean state and local governments aren't seeing -- and won't see -- the same things.
Narcotics Bureau Donates Seized Electronics to Benefit Children With Developmental Disabilities
The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics (OBN) today is announcing the donation of computer electronics and game systems to benefit children with developmental disabilities. During a press conference today, OBN provided fifteen (15) "PSP Go's" gaming systems and two (2) "I-pod Classics" to the J.D. McCarty Center in Norman, Oklahoma. OBN Spokesman Mark Woodward says the items were seized from a shoplifting ring in 2009.
