The Dark Knight Rises
Carnegie Mellon has posted some intriguing details for Batman filming that will take place near the college's Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at the end of July and beginning of August:
Scenes outside the SEI, which will be portrayed as a prison, will include an explosion, a prison break, precision stunt driving, gunfire, atmospheric smoke, and controlled pyrotechnic explosions.
Scenes outside the Fifth Ave. entrance of Mellon Institute include a standoff between two rivals that escalates into a riot. One character drives a motorcycle through the fourth floor lobby, out the front doors and down the steps onto Fifth Ave. Special effects include precision stunt driving, gunfire and atmospheric smoke.
The prison break mention suggests that the film will indeed be following one of Bane's famous schemes in the comics, in which he releases all the criminals of Gotham and arms them so that he can test Batman. The "two rivals" bit is also interesting - assume that's accurate, that doesn't sound like it would fit a confrontation involving Batman, as the Dark Knight doesn't really have rivals so much as deadly enemies. A confrontation between two villains seems likeliest. So the combinations are Bane and Catwoman, only one of those two and some unknown third villain - perhaps someone from the League of Shadows, which is all but confirmed to be making a return - or some other pairing.

Man of Steel
Harry Lennix, best known for playing Boyd on Dollhouse, has reportedly signed on to play General Swannick, a high-ranking military official. In case you're wondering, the character doesn't appear to have any basis in the DC universe. [Variety]
Captain America

The Avengers
The movie is looking for as much as 2,000 people to be extras during the Cleveland filming. The call sheet requests people dress in their "best business executive outfit", which either means this film is going to feature a ton of extras who look like businesspersons, or Marvel Studios just believes in a little thing called decorum. [Cleveland.com]
The Amazing Spider-Man
Screenwriter Steve Kloves revealed that Sony plans to make a new trilogy of movies starring Andrew Garfield, although he has already passed on the opportunity to write the sequel. Kloves also explained that this movie is meant to be more realistic than the Sam Raimi movies - in part, he said, because he can't really write cartoony dialogue - and that while there's lots of humor, it's naturalistic as opposed to jokey. He also says they switched from biological to mechanic web-shooters for a reason, and there are a lot of cool bits in the movie that involve those shooters. [Collider]
We'd advise taking this with a grain of salt, but Ridley Scott is reportedly taking production to Iceland's Stony Desert Highlands near Landmannalaugar, which is also known as Landman Pools. The area will presumably used as some sort of exotic, alien location in the film, assuming the report itself is accurate.

True Blood
Here are some promo photos for episode four, "I'm Alive and on Fire." [SpoilerTV]
Kristin Bauer previews what's ahead for Pam this season:
This season really is about identity and showing your true colors. We have every possible situation that we could possibly put Pam in to create chaos and she has to react to it. And she's not a strategist. That was the biggest thing I learned this year: She doesn't play chess, she doesn't think two moves ahead. And theses witches this season are throwing the kitchen sink at a lot of people. It's remarkable the things Pam tries to put order back in her world."
I also hear Pam's headed for trouble…
"Pam gets to kick some ass. She's got to cover for Eric (Alexander Skarsgard). He's not himself, and Eric is much more involved with Sookie (Anna Paquin) this year and she's taking care of him. So that's interesting, it's a massive change for Pam because their dynamic has changed. Pam has only one Achilles heel, only one strain of vulnerability and that's Eric. So to have him not be her rock, her leader, anymore, to not have him needing her in the same way affects her. And then to also have the witches waving their wands, metaphorically – we're not Harry Potter here – but it's really challenging. We do get to see's Pam animalistic side."

Warehouse 13
New cast member Aaron Ashmore explains that his character Steve Jinks's ability to detect whenever people is lying may be straightforward - he's just really good at reading people - but it affects his life in unexpected ways:
I mean I think that the ability is quite simple in the way it works, but the way that it affects the character, I think, makes him very tentative when it comes to people and trusting people. He knows that everybody lies. And I think as human beings we know that anyways but being able to tell exactly when those things are happening, I think makes him put a little bit of a wall up around him.
And I think that that's the real thing that when you're playing – when I'm playing Steve that I had to think about him and be aware of. So I think that that's really the big part of the character that there's these walls up because of his ability to tell when people are lying.
Ashmore also says that he believes episodes two and six will feature some revelations about who Steve is and how his history still affects him. In the same interview, executive producer Jack Kenny says Eureka's Fargo will make his return crossover appearance in episode five. Kenny also talks a little bit about Steve's place as the Warehouse's first gay team member, and the difficulty of incorporating romances into the show in general:
How does Steve Jinks relate to Artie, Pete, Myka and Claudia? My – and I think that the approach to Aaron, as I say, the approach to Steve is he's a relatively emotionally conservative guy. He's not out there. And so we're taking baby steps with the character. We don't want to bring in somebody and throw him into a relationship right away.
One of the things we learned last year when we brought Pete a relationship, we brought Claudia a relationship, was that they were really hard to service. Those relationships are hard to service because our people are out in the field all the time. We had to basically stop the show to get a relationship theme with Pete and Kelly or with Claudia and Todd.
Zane will pursue the mystery of why Jo had his grandmother's ring (because he proposed to her in the original, overwritten timeline), and he will take "drastic measures" to figure out what's going on. [The TV Addict]
Speaking of which, Zane actor Niall Matter says he's actually pretty happy that the character got effectively rebooted for the fourth season:
Actually, that was one of the most exciting things that I found out, being on the show. Quite frankly, the direction that Zane went in Season 3, I was a little bit let down about. He just became a lap dog for Lupo (Erica Cerra). He would dote on her and follow her around, and he didn't have those characteristics that made him such a strong character when he was first introduced. And then, in Season 4, there was a chance to reboot all of that and get that guy back into the show, so I was really excited about that. Not only could I reinvent him, but I could reinvent him in a different way.
Here are some photos from tonight's premiere. [KSiteTV]
Co-creator Zak Penn explains how the team keeps their powers and identities secret:
We explain that in the pilot. First of all, people don't know that there's a connection between all the people who have these types of abilities. Rosen (David Strathairn) keeps the team a secret. The deal is that they're not supposed to tell people what they can do. But, that said, there are plenty of individual people out there, doing extraordinary things that might defy explanation. As a team and as a unit, they have to keep their cards down, in terms of who they are and what they can do. They are admonished, almost constantly, about using their powers in public. That becomes a big issue for them, over and over again, in each episode.
Here are some photos from the first three episodes of season two. [multipleverses.com]

Care & Repair
At Envii we care about how good you look in our clothes, for as long as you have them! We thought we could share some advice with you, on how you can take care of your new garments, in a way that will extend the life of the clothes and make it last long. Just as important, these tips will help reduce your impact on the environment and take better care of our planet! The washing instructions on the care label are a good starting point for how to care for your garment, but we wanted to share some additional advice beyond the tag.
Air your clothes and reduce the number of wash cycles
No need to wash your clothes every time you wear them, unless they're noticeably dirty. By hanging a sweater or a pair of pants outside, or in your bathroom, where it is a bit humid, it should be enough to regain that fresh feeling.
Lower the temperature
You will save energy when you wash your clothes in cooler temperatures, by using the eco settings on the machine, and/or choosing shorter cycles. It is often enough to wash your clothes on 30°, if they are not very dirty. When you wash at lower temperatures, it is best to use a liquid detergent instead of powder, since it dissolves better.
Go eco-friendly
Use the dose of laundry detergents recommended on the box or bottle, since using more than this will not make your clothes cleaner and will only have a negative environmental impact. Try to avoid using fabric softeners, unless you are washing garments that are 100% synthetic, such as polyester, as this removes the static electricity in the garment. Also avoid dry cleaning unless the label states, "dry clean only". Dry cleaning and fabric softeners have a greater negative impact on the environment, so only use them when they are necessary.
Use a laundry bag
When washing fine and thin materials such as silk, jerseys, viscose and wool, use a laundry bag to protect these delicate clothes.
Machine drying vs. air drying
Tumble dryers use a lot of energy. It is better for your clothes and for the environment to hang your clothes to dry.
Remove pilling
Pilling is a common occurrence in natural materials such as wool. Use a sweater stone or clothing brush gently across your clothes to remove pilling and refresh the look.
Recycle or donate
When you no longer use or like your clothes, swap them or donate them. Zero environmental impact!
Repair or redesign
Value your clothes, consider repairing before replacing. Repairing is one way to extend the life of your clothes but you might also consider a fun redesign instead.
Wash symbol explanation
Cotton is the most used material for fabric, since it is very strong and budget-friendly. Cotton is a natural fiber that in its raw state is not naturally strong. To make it into a strong yarn, it needs to be twisted or spun. It can then, be woven into cotton cloth or knitted into cotton jersey. Cotton fabric is popular because it is easy to care for and comfortable year-round since cotton "breathes". Cotton is easy to clean; it can be machine-washed.
Polyester is a fine synthetic fiber that is thin and smooth, but at the same time very strong. Polyester is one of the most used materials for fabrics, and one of the most long lasting fabrics for clothes. It maintains the color well after wearing and washes, and it does not wrinkle as much as other fabrics. Clothes made of polyester can be machine-washed and do not shrink.
Wool is the textile fiber made from sheep and other animals - including cashmere and mohair from goats. After use, wash is often unnecessary, especially if it has not been in contact with skin. Instead place the garment on a hanger and hang it somewhere in the bathroom, where the air is humid, or let it air outside. This often does the trick instead of having to wash it. When you do have to wash wool, always use a special liquid detergent for wool. Wash in the machine on a wool program or by hand, and make sure to follow, the care label instructions. Chunky-knits should be shaped and dried lying flat in order to regain their original shape. In general, in order to take care of your knits and maintain their shape, try to avoid hanging them in the closet. Instead, fold them to store. Most wool jackets need to be dry-cleaned.
Viscose is a natural material and can shrink slightly when washed. Wash at low temperatures. Steam iron the garment to restore it back to its original shape.
Jersey is a knitted fabric, which can be made out of cotton, wool and synthetic fibers. Single knitted jersey is very stretchy and lightweight, and has one flat side and one piled side. Double knitted jersey has less stretch and is made of two single jerseys knitted together to a heavier fabric with two flat sides on each side of the fabric, and the piles in the middle. Jersey can be machine-washed.
Acrylic is made from synthetic fibers. Garments made from acrylic are easy to clean because they can either be machine-washed or dry-cleaned. Acrylic is lightweight, soft, and warm, with a wool-like feel. Some acrylic fabrics may pill easily, though there are low-pilling variants. The fiber requires heat to "relax" so garments made of acrylic can be a bit stiff while wet, so it is not as warm when wet as wool would be.
Wash jeans inside-out to reduce color-fading. Hang up the jeans as soon as the wash program ends to avoid creasing in the fabric.
Leather and suede
Clothing of leather and suede should be dry-cleaned. Follow the washing instructions. Only use a professional dry cleaner specialized in leather. Apply protection spray on leather and suede before use, and then every six months. Never use water to clean a suede garment. Instead, you should try to do so with a dry cotton cloth. Due to its textured nature and open pores, suede may become dirty and absorb liquids quickly, so try to avoid using it when it rains.
Silk is a natural protein fiber that can be woven into textiles. Silk is a very delicate material that needs to be treated with caution. Use a special laundry detergent when you wash silk and do not stretch the product when wet. Care instructions for most silk items are either to hand wash or use a very gentle machine wash cycle. Sometimes dry cleaning is recommended, due to the construction of the garment. Always follow the washing instructions on the label inside the garment.
Cashmere wool
Cashmere wool is a natrural fiber made from cashmere and other types of goats. Cashmere has a fine texture and is strong, light and soft to the skin. Pilling is normal on cashmere and is caused by the cashmere fibers, rubbing together during wear. Air garment after use. When necessary, always follow the washing instructions on the label inside the garment before washing.
Puffer jackets
The puffer jacket is filled with synthetic insulation that doesn't take heat well, so wash on low temperature and don't use the dryer but lay flat to dry. With a synthetic filled jacket you will retain 90% of insulating capabillity even though the garments is wet.
We recommend rinsing your swimwear immediately after use. Cold gentle machine wash garments separately, or hand wash, and use a mild detergent.

How big is Pendleton Ward's instant cult classic cartoon Adventure Time? So big that D3Publishers has a giant inflatable Finn and Jake hovering over their E3 2012 booth — and the game isn't even here.
And you know what? I don't particularly care that <Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd you steal our garbage?! from WayForward Technologies isn't here in playable (or non-playable) form. It's just so lovely to run into Jake and Finn in the far reaches of the L.A. Convention Center's South Hall that it just doesn't matter.
D3Publisher declined my offer to climb atop the massive inflatable and ride it around the convention.

ACBe - The first high-frequency internal vibrator system that can be worn as a backpack.
Wacker Neuson's ACBe is a world first
The cordless Battery Internal Vibrator guarantees the user maximum flexibility on the construction site when compacting concrete. Particularly when working on formwork and scaffolding, the operator benefits from great freedom of movement and an unlimited working radius as he does not have to pull a cable. The powerful rechargeable battery provides energy for an entire working day.
- Time and effort savings: When processing large areas, the operator saves time and effort, as no re-plugging of the internal vibrator connection or relocation of the converter is necessary.
- High ergonomics: The backpack system was developed by a German brand manufacturer for backpacks and offers very good weight distribution and high wearing comfort.
- Safety: As the protective hose and cables are directly connected to the backpack, there is no risk of tripping on the construction site due to cables/hoses on the ground.
- The electric motor is maintenance-free, which saves time and money.
- Always flexible: parts with different hose lengths and bottle diameters can be connected to the converter backpack depending on application and requirements.
Available vibrator heads:
diameter 38, 45 and 58 mm
Available hose length:
1.5 m, 3 m and 5 m
One for all: 1 battery – several machines
Rammers, vibratory plates and internal vibrators are usually not used at the same time on the construction site, but in succession. The modular system from Wacker Neuson makes it possible to use the same rechargable battery for all these devices. This not only saves costs but also storage space. Changing the battery works without tools in no time.
Please note that product availability can vary from country to country. It is possible that information / products may not be available in your country.

Benny Joy was not a talent on the order of top rockabilly stars, but he had more going for him than a lot of the obscure singers in the style that have been rediscovered and championed by collectors. The Tampa guitarist and vocalist cut a few rare singles in the late '50s that didn't get anywhere, although he was represented for a time by Platters manager Buck Ram and did some recording in Nashville with session musicians like saxophonist Boots Randolph, guitarist Hank Garland, and drummer Buddy Harman. Although rockabilly was calming down by the late '50s, Joy seemed in no mood to settle down himself, and on numerous sides he sounds like he's about to shout-sing himself hoarse. Joy wrote most of his material, and although he was derivative of such bigger cats as Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, and others, on his better tracks he projected a straight-to-the-heart-of-the-matter exuberance along the lines of (although, again, not as good as) Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent. Joy was also one of the relatively few minor rock artists to tour Europe in the late '50s -- he did so twice, in fact. After parting with Ram, Joy recorded for Decca without success and in the 1960s became a country songwriter, supplying some material for Stonewall Jackson. Like many obscure rockabilly acts, Joy enjoyed renewed appreciation in England after British collectors discovered his work, particularly for his 1958 single "Crash the Party." ~ Richie Unterberger~ Rovi

About Lata Mangeshkar
Any account of Indian playback music must start with Lata Mangeshkar. While it is not possible to more than list the most important playback singers, one, because of her supreme stature, merits detailed attention. Born September 28, 1929 in Indore, India, Lata Mangeshkar has been active in all walks of Indian popular and light classical music having sung ghazals, bhajans and pop. She is the supreme voice of popular Indian music, an Indian institution. Her importance rests not solely with her prodigious output. Many of her performances are considered timeless and undatable, although her voice has changed and matured over the years. In effect she sang the soundtrack for millions of Indians' lives. Until the 1991 edition, when her entry disappeared, the Guinness Book of Records listed her as the most recorded artist in the world with not less than 30,000 solo, duet and chorus-backed songs recorded in 20 Indian languages between 1948 and 1987. By 1990 she supposedly had worked on over 2000 film soundtracks as a playback singer -- meaning she pre-recorded the songs to which the films' leading ladies lip-synched.
Dinanath Mangeshkar, her father, owned a theatrical company and was a classical singer, a disciple of the Gwalior school, and gave her singing lessons from around the age of five. She also studied with Aman Ali Khan Sahib and later Amanat Khan. Her God-given musical gifts meant that she could master the vocal exercises effortlessly on first pass and from early on she was recognized as being highly gifted musically. Also in the family were brother Hridaynath, a music director, and sisters Meena, Asha (the famed Asha Bhosle), and Usha. Hridaynath's soundtrack work included Lekin... (EMI India CD PMLP 5206) released in 1990 which, keeping it a family affair, placed Lata Mangeshkar well to the fore. Usha also became a playback singer. Only Asha Bhosle's career can compare in any way with her sister's award-strewn output although by 1994 reports were appearing to the effect that Asha Bhosle had overtaken her big sister's output.
Lata Mangeshkar began work as playback singer in the 1940s and grew to become the most famous playback singer of the century. She received her first proper named credit under her own name in actor/director Raj Kapoor's 1949 film Barsaat (the soundtrack from which forms a third of the Barsaat/Aah/Aag album on EMI India CD PMLP 5188). She would sing for every major actress, including Geeta Bali, Nanda, Nargis, Nimmi, Nutan, Padmini, Sadhana and Meena Shorey. The sheer scale of recording activity makes any examination of her life and works impossible in such a confined space. ~ Ken Hunt

|The contested process of sharing lives and space in contemporary culturally diverse globalizing cities challenges head-on the inadequacy of abstract discourses about integration that do not address the daily palpable experience of negotiating the tensions of diversity. These tensions are produced by the intersections of real and imagined differences in expectations, values and ways of life between different ethnicities and nationalities that often find expressions in and through their use of urban space. This new set of globalizing dynamics will inexorably require that policies, plans and designs of new urban interventions in globalizing multi-ethnic spaces consider these tensions carefully and their implications for intercultural integration. However, there is a relative silence in empirical scholarship about how inhabitants in diversity negotiate everyday integration and the kinds of urban space that facilitate intercultural understanding (ICU). ❧ This dissertation begins from the everyday multi-ethnic spaces of globalizing Los Angeles. I used mixed methods of cognitive mapping, ethnographic and semi-structured interviews and survey to understand the inhabitants' experiences of negotiating the tensions of diversity through the sharing of social space, and to discover the existing possibilities of local neighborhood spaces for ICU. Framing the investigation with Lefebvre's (1991) conceptualization of the production of social space as a dialectical triad of conceived-perceived-lived space in the form of an innovative rotating tetrahedron that combines with Lofland's (1998) theory of the public realm and Lynch's ([1960] 1998) method of cognitive mapping, I discuss how the sharing of social space is negotiated through nested boundaries, territories and routines in three multi-ethnic and multi-national settings of different socio-economic status (San Marino, Central Long Beach and Mid-Wilshire) within metropolitan Los Angeles. ❧ I found that ordinary Los Angelenos who live in multi-ethnic diversity maintain in their daily lives a fleeting and routinized co-presence with their neighbors of different ethnicities and nationalities, adopting a range of prosaic "negotiation" that includes "hunkering down" (Putnam 2007), adopting a "civility of indifference" (Bailey 1996), creating "comfort zones," living in "ethnic bubbles," trading racial slurs and harboring prejudices in private. Conviviality in diversity is occasional but rare, transient and does little to transform longer term relationships in existing inter-ethnic ties. The dissertation illustrates that these prosaic negotiations in shades of conflict and conviviality are in fact critical in shaping the formation of the sense of local belonging and the possibilities for intercultural living and integration in settings of diversity. ❧ Based on the findings, I argue that public space and institutional initiative and intervention is extremely important to the formation of an ethos and practice of intercultural living. To support this argument, the dissertation presents the different conceptions of intercultural understanding by the inhabitants in these diverse settings, uses the analysis of the empirical findings to recommend where and what kinds of strategic interventions for intercultural living could be introduced, discusses the qualities of urban spaces that are conducive for intercultural understanding and friendship, and shows how Lefebvre's logic of social space production can be tapped in urban interventions to transform social space into an intercultural space.

Swiss Shield Fabrics and Bed Canopies
Radio Frequency Protection for below your canopy
We recommend shielding sleeping areas from below if it is not directly on the ground / earth or a concrete slab. This can be done with the use of this shielding floor sheet made from our Swiss Shield Daylite fabric. This fabric is also known as Swiss Shield New Daylite. The sheet is to be laid under the bed or carpet and is finished with a hem on all sides. To achieve optimal results, it is important to install this item as well as the canopy in a low AC electric field environment. We recommend the use of a body voltage kit, an AC Electric Field meter and or the assistance of an EMF measuring technician to ensure the sleeping area has low AC Electric Field exposure. The installation of a remote cut off switch can aid in reducing AC electric fields in sleeping areas.

EPrints4 Roadmap
Some general ideas for the development of the next major release of EPrints.
Also read EPrints4_Status
Main Objectives
- Separation of the Core API and UI (/rendering) components - that mainly means that core objects (Repository, MetaField*, DataObj*) won't have any render_* method. this could also imply that the core or the UI could be upgraded separately. It would also make re-use of the eprints core easy for other purposes (e.g. data repository, OER etc.)
- Remove the spaghetti code (esp (1) rendering methods (2) Dataobj-Metafield relations)
- Drop support for internal search in favour of specialist tools such as Xapian or Solr - we might however need to keep some aspects of the internal search (cf List/data retrieval) for exact matching - perhaps that's more a (SQL) "QueryBuilder" than a (user) search.
- Drop support for Windows?
- Implement object locking at the core level (for any objects, perhaps without using database fields at all). Actually this is done via: DB Transactions, ETag and If-None-Match headers. The current (3.2/3.3) object locking is a UI feature not a core one.
- Implement object state at the core level (at the moment EPrint object might be in one of 4 states: inbox, buffer, archive, deletion via the field eprint_status) <DONE>
- code normalisation:
- use new class name (e.g. EPrints::Session => EPrints::Repository)
- use "new way" of doing things (e.g. EPrints::Dataobj::X->new(12) => repo->dataset( 'x' )->dataobj(12))
- remove v2.x features deprecated in v3+ (cf. EPrints::BackCompatibility)
- define clear API for core functions (e.g. Database, object handling) and for UI purposes. The API must present a unique way of doing something.
- It might be worth separating the code into 3 packages to ease the development: eprints4-core, eprints4-ir and eprints4-ir-ui.
- Revisit Apache request Handler aka Apache::Rewrite (lots of hard-coded paths, many obsolete paths) - URL handling should be done by Controllers called/prioritised via a trigger. <TESTED OK>
- Remove EPrints::Session from anywhere in favour of EPrints::Repository
- Test using memcached (http://code.google.com/p/memcached/) - Cache::Memcached::Fast to cache data objects, perhaps could work to cache XML fragments too. <TESTED OK>
- Use Multipart rather than Compound - Compound creates 1 table per subfield whilst Multipart creates 1 column per subfield. <TESTED OK>
- Finer grain permissions (using User, Groups, perhaps ACL concepts) - also security should be handled at the core level not at the UI level
- Core should be able to run without IR extensions nor UI elements (might require to extend the SWORD layer for interactions with the core) <TESTED OK>
- Built-in locking mechanisms for objects (improved edit_lock)
- No hard-coded exceptions for IR extensions (e.g. eprint_status hard-coded in places) <TESTED OK>
- Generalise concept of "files" to allow the storage of arbitrary files against any data objects (e.g. a profile picture for a User) <TESTED OK>
- (coding-style) don't use objects via hash-value directly e.g. my $repo = $object->{repository} - use method instead: my $repo = $object->repository.
- Metafield/DataObj::set_value should re-enforce the database type - i.e. $object->set_value( 'int_field', 'abc' )should fail at the Application layer - not silently at the DB layer as it currently happens. Same goes with any field type (e.g. ->set_value( 'set_field', 'invalid_set_value' ) should fail). <TESTED OK>
- Extra dataset properties to allow global, consistent behaviour. Considered: "states", "revision" (TESTED OK), "lastmod" (TESTED OK), "read-only" (TESTED OK), "cache" (i.e. use memcached), "history" (keep revision history, implies revision=true), "datestamp", "acl"
Extensions for IR-type of Repositories
- Authors/names stored in a separate dataset - should help integrate with various UID systems like OrcID.
- Extra metadata to describe a User - cf. MePrints.
UI elements
- jQuery over Prototype
- jQueryUI widgets used to render fields
- Javascript/Ajax concepts built-in
- CSS3 Responsive design to support small screens (mobile, tablets etc) - http://alistapart.com/article/responsive-web-design
- an internal messaging system would be nice (similar to the current Message data object but with more options) - this would help system/user and user/user interactions. A logged-in user could then see messages and act accordingly. For instance: publication just went live, items have been imported from remote sources, user commented on a resource etc.
Current Dev tasks (stuff in progress)
- Complex UI elements such as forms with validations - Currently using a mix of Mustache (server-side templates) and AngularJS (client-side) - btw some cool stuff here: http://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/
- (Deep) integration of Xapian into the core:
- but keeping it generic enough to allow other implementation of other search engines
- must find a way to (1) conduct a user search via Xapian and (2) merge the results with a DB-bound search to restrict to items that the user can effectively search (think ACL here)
- Must find a way to generate API pages from the code/POD

Here it is the first-ever look at Ridley Scott's Exodus: Gods and Kings, which looks absolutely bonkers. Christian Bale is Moses; Sigourney Weaver is his fake mom and Joel Edgerton is Rameses, which is good because as we all know Rameses was Australian.
Thanks to Entertainment Weekly, we now have our first glimpse into the Biblical undertaking of Scott's Moses story. And it looks like Bale is trying to give Charlton Heston a run for his money by upping the dick level to 11.
This movie looks insane.

The company cited reduced pass-through revenues as the reason for the decline.
Last year, FTI reported a 1% year-over-year revenue increase in Q1 to $45.5 million in its strategic communications business, compared with Q1 2012.
Mark McCall, senior MD and Americas head of FTI's strategic communications practice, said via email that the agency expects "second-quarter 2014 revenues and adjusted-segment EBITDA to improve compared with the first quarter of 2014" for the strategic communications practice.
"We will continue to focus on providing exceptional client service and will position our business to take advantage of market opportunities in areas where FTI has strong market positions such as financial communications, government relations, public affairs, and in industries such as energy, natural resources, healthcare, and life science," he added in the email.
FTI does not break down results on a regional basis.
The company's overall first-quarter 2014 revenue grew 4.5% to $425.6m (£252.4m). FTI also achieved $40.1m (£23.8m) in operating income and $18.1m (£10.7m) in net income in Q1.
Revenue earned by FTI's technology segment rose 28.6% in the quarter to $60.1m (£35.6m), while corporate finance and restructuring revenue decreased 5.1% in the period to $94m (£55.7m).
Despite the challenges of the first quarter, FTI president and CEO Steven Gunby said in a statement that he's optimistic the firm will begin "meeting the aspirations" it has in a relatively short time.
"I do want to underscore that 2014 will see no rapid turnaround in profitability," he added. "Though we see numerous opportunities to drive the performance of all of our segments and regions, most of these opportunities will benefit 2015 and 2016 much more than 2014."
Gunby was appointed chief executive of FTI at the beginning of the year.
In January, FTI Consulting acquired TLG Partners, bolstering its strategic communications segment. TLG specializes in building corporate reputation through thought leadership and campaigns.

text: In US News & World Report, William Broman, a current biomedical engineering major at George Washington University, offers a reality check about the financial burdens facing many college graduates in the form of hefty college loan payments. The data, he says, supports the notion that one of the quickest ways for graduates to eliminate their college debt is to enter a STEM field. "One way to get students interested in these fields is to inform them of the money they can make with their degrees," Broman suggests. "Money entices people to work harder, and while money can't buy happiness, it can buy a lot of the cool gadgets that youth are fascinated with." Makes sense to me. Via www.usnews.com

There have been five God of War games and, in each one, Kratos slaughters his way through significant portions of the Greco-Roman pantheon. Wow, you might say, is there anybody left for the Ghost of Sparta to be mad at? Yeah, there is.
In a post on the PlayStation Blog, God of Ascension lead combat designer Jason McDonald and lead game designer Mark Simon say that the Sony Santa Monica team has plenty of material to work with:
Every game is a challenge, but the Greek mythos is so wide and varied. We could never do every myth that it has for us. We don't find it limiting; it's more exciting to explore more areas of it – new gods, new titans, new locales.
Take the Furies. They're primordial. They're from before the gods – they're more powerful than the gods. Some of their abilities are just ridiculous – so powerful. They make really great nemeses for Kratos.
Of course, anybody familiar with Greek mythology at all knows that there are hundreds of Olympians, demigods and spirits in various tales and stories. However, what you don't want with a series like this—one with no end in sight—is to have a main character going out and bullying dryads and water nymphs because he's angry all the time. Ascension is a prequel, sure, but eventually a sequel with Kratos will need to figure out if there's energy left in the same ol' mythology.

Are zombies trying to steal your yo-yo? Or do you want to booby trap the neighbor kid with a motion-sensing alarm? The PIR Sensor Arduino Alarm is great for both! Combining technologies we've used in previous Weekend Projects, this build is entirely solderless. It uses very few components, so it's a great project for makers looking to get started with Arduino, or who want a quick lesson in digital I/O. The software program is provided, and many of you may already have these components laying around, but never thought to combine them together into an alarm.
If you build this project into an enclosure box of your own design, or come up with a clever use of spooking your friends with the alarm, be sure to send us an email with some actions shots or video, and a story about your build!

Gee, sounds like the pump was continuously running well outside its design parameters while indicating normal operation on its control instrumentation, which is is exactly what Stuxnet was designed to do, run machinery beyond tolerance limits while spoofing the performance display readouts with fake data.
IAEA says Iran's Bushehr delays were caused by pump
Iran was believed to have told the UN atomic watchdog that a broken pump had made it necessary to remove fuel from its first nuclear power reactor, independent experts familiar with the issue said on Monday.
The experts, who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the issue, said it was a potentially serious problem likely to cause more delays for the Russian-built Bushehr plant, which has yet to start injecting power into Iran's national grid.
"I think what happened is that the pump failed but it didn't just fail, it broke up, so that … there are pieces of metal that are now circulated throughout the primary cooling system," one of them said.

Iran: Removal of fuel rods has nothing to do with Stuxnet
Of course it's just speculation and no one will actually admit that the pump disintegration was cased by Stuxnet. However, a pump like this would normally give some manner of warning to the operators that the pump was malfunctioning, this one didn't, it continued to run until it "broke up". Coincidentally, Stuxnet was designed to cause precisely this type of damage, with no warning, to industrial equipment. Believe it or not.
/in any case, with tiny pieces of metal strewn throughout the reactor's cooling system and possibly contaminating the nuclear fuel rods, this mess is going to take quite some time to clean up and then it just might happen again

On Sunday we had friends over to watch the football games. I made a big pot of chili and Josh made his favorite Queso Dip. Good food and football go hand in hand at our house:) Unfortunately, Josh's team, the 49'ers, lost, but at least his Queso Dip was a winner. This easy cheese dip is perfect game day food. You really can't go wrong with a big bowl of melted cheese and salty tortilla chips. Mmmmm!
There is nothing complicated about this Queso Dip. The dip takes 10 minutes tops to make, which makes it perfect for parties. You can reheat the cheese in the microwave, but if you are going to serve this Queso Dip at a party, I highly recommend you serve it in a crockpot so you don't have to worry about heating it up again and again. The crockpot will keep the cheese melted and smooth. The dip isn't spicy, but has a nice flavor. If you want a bit of a kick, you can add an additional jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce.
So I guess we are looking at a Patriots vs. Giants Super Bowl. Who will you be cheering for? I am still undecided. Josh is cheering for the Patriots, but I might have to root for the Giants to keep things interesting:) I do know we will be making this Queso Dip for the big game. It is a must for Super Bowl Sunday.
Make sure you add this Queso Dip to your Super Bowl party menu. It is sure to be a hit on game day!
Queso Dip
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- ¼ cup diced white onion
- 1 medium jalapeño diced
- 1 medium poblano pepper roasted and diced
- 10 ounces white American cheese shredded (find this cheese at the deli counter)
- 6 ounces Pepper Jack cheese shredded
- ½ cup milk
- ⅓ cup freshly chopped cilantro
- 1 Roma tomato seeds removed and diced
- Heat canola oil in a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat. Cook the onion and jalapeño pepper until softened and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in the roasted poblano pepper. Add the shredded cheese and milk. Stir until mostly melted.
- Stir in the tomatoes and chopped cilantro. Serve with chips immediately.
- Note-if you plan on serving this at a party, you may want to serve it in a crockpot so the cheese stays melted.

Investigation into fatal motorcycle accident continues
An investigation continued Monday into a recent crash that left a Cape Coral motorcyclist dead.
Joshua Edison Banner, 22, of 3508 S.W. 15th Place, died Friday morning at Lee Memorial Hospital, where he was taken following an accident at Pine Island Road and Cultural Park Boulevard.
According to Cape police, Banner was traveling east on Pine Island on a Harley Davidson, approaching Cultural Park. Witnesses reported that he was driving recklessly as he drew nearer to the intersection, changing lanes several times, cutting off other vehicles and not using his turn signal.
At 6:40 a.m., Banner came to Cultural Park and switched lanes again. The front of the motorcycle collided into the front of a westbound Chrysler Town and Country van attempting to turn south.
Due to the impact, Banner was ejected from the motorcycle. He was not wearing a helmet.
Banner was trauma alerted to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 8:06 a.m.
The driver of the van, Ronald F. Boevers, 74, of 1703 N.E. Seventh Place, was not injured.
It was unknown Friday if the crash was alcohol or drug related, according to police.
There have been 16 traffic fatalities in the Cape so far this year. Two fatalities were not included because they were ruled "medical" – the cause of death was not related to injuries from the crash.
Officials reported that the city recorded 10 traffic fatalities last year, compared to 11 in 2011.

Process query systems
Process query systems have applications that involve using databases or datastreams of events to detect instances of processes. In those applications, events provide evidence that is used to infer the existence and estimate the states of the various processes of interest. Examples of such applications include: network and computer security; network management; sensor network tracking; military situational awareness; and critical infrastructure monitoring and protection.

is it possibly to change automaticly the index html every day or radomly??
is it possibly to change automaticly the index html every day or radomly??
Yes, there are at least three ways that pop to mind.
1) Make your index page a giant iframe and use the daily iframe script
2) Make your index page a frame and use the daily iframe script but adapt it to frame source instead of iframe source.
3) Make your index page a redirect script and use the daily change code from the daily iframe script to make it redirect to different pages for each day.
This brings me back to the old BBS days when I had word of the day, this day in history, that sort of thing and special welcoming screens that appeared on holidays and observances. This was done primarily with batch files back then, so I'm thinking that also using server side scripts could work but, that is not my forte. Conceivably, in JavaScript, using the new Date() object one could have different content for every day for many years to come, all automatic, as long as the content was there ahead of time or one had a way of generating it on the fly. As for random, just use any of the many random number generator scripts and adapt that to one of the above ideas. I'm sure there must be other ways as well. Any particular reason you asked?

LOS ANGELES -- California gas prices finally have begun to fall after a month that saw them surging by nearly 50 cents a gallon _ but a continuing refinery shutdown may keep supplies short.
The AAA Daily Fuel Gauge Report says the average price of regular Wednesday is less than $4.67 a gallon, down a half-cent from Tuesday. It's still the highest price in the nation, however.
The top average price in the state is $4.75 a gallon in the San Luis Obispo area.
State officials predicted prices would fall after Gov. Jerry Brown ordered early production of a winter fuel blend to replace costlier summer blends.
The spike was partly driven by an August fire that partially closed a Richmond refinery. Chevron says it will remain closed through December.
