It seems apt that Cabinet magazine, now into its tenth year, finally has its own events space. The Brooklyn quarterly of arts and culture owes its name to the "Cabinets of Curiosities" of yore, originally places where late Renaissance aristocrats and royalty kept weird items—like shrunken heads, stuffed amphibians, clockwork automata, and horns from mythic beasts. These patrons sometimes fitted their spaces with mirrors, curved glass, secret passageways, and hidden drawers, all things that might appeal to Cabinet's editors, who possess a mischievous streak.
And now the Cabinet folks have their own cabinet of a sort, a warehouse-like affair in Gowanus in Brooklyn. Cabinet was originally run from editor Sina Najafi's home, and then for a time out of a Dumbo office, while holding its public events at various locations around town. In 2007, for instance, the magazine collaborated with the Slought Foundation (Slought.org) to put on an interactive symposium about the history of sloth (both the deadly sin and the animal) at the Chelsea Art Center. The magazine's new location opened last October, in the building where they used to rent a small section for storage.
This current HQ is at Nevins and Union streets; the most notable business in this semi-industrial area is the South Brooklyn Casket Company, whose façade has been a morbid inspiration to local artists and musicians. Najafi seems as thrilled to have his space as an 11-year-old with a new toy rocket set. "The idea is we all live in New York," says Najafi, "all these people come and go, and if we have a space we just casually sit there like a spider and catch all these wonderful people coming through, and we don't have to pay for their tickets because some other institution has invited them!' Translation: Najafi is plotting to use espionage to identify other New York institutions' desirable incoming speakers, then send imposters to the airport to intercept them and bring them back to speak at the Cabinet space instead. The idea is borrowed from MIT students' hijacking of high-profile Harvard guests in 1940, the school's first ever hack against its archrival.
Until Najafi can swing this, though, the magazine's live events will rely primarily on the talents of the 500-some-odd individuals who've written or edited for the magazine in the past. Current and upcoming events include "A Series of Coincidences," an art installation by four of Cabinet's editors, now running in the Gowanus space. On Wednesday, February 25, Oron Catts, a former writer for Cabinet who has developed technology to grow flesh under laboratory conditions, will give a talk called "Semi-Living Tissue." One of his last projects was mounted at MOMA, a miniature "victimless leather coat" that started to overwhelm its nutrient support system and had to be tragically "killed."
Such a creature would have certainly made an entertaining guest at February 18's fete in honor of Cabinet's new, fire-themed issue. The scene at the new space was lively, if not ablaze. The assorted performance artists, freelance writers, and alt-magazine staff in attendance seemed to enjoy the fine alcohol, schmoozing, and the two super-tall wooden highchairs where Cabinet speakers sit while lecturing. However, the overall dynamics of the party turned out a bit wonky. The spectacle of fire is supposed to exert a primitive pull on groups of humans, no? Interestingly, not much socializing materialized in front of the flickering globe of lava projected onto a video screen by artist Matt Bigert. Instead, a large void opened up around it, occasionally filled by lone hypnotized oglers.
The other major adornment, also Bigert's, was a composition of live gunpowder fuses pasted on two large sheets of paper so as to resemble neurons. In the event's main act, he brought the flammable work into the alleyway outside and set the fuses alight for an audience of guests, leaving behind a synaptic pattern in gunpowder residue. It was a neat metaphor relating to the Cabinet article "Sparks of Life," which traces the 19th-century understanding of fire as consciousness's animating principle. But what is Cabinet's animating principle?
"The politics of curiosity," Najafi calls it.
Although numerous guests at the party vigorously resisted comparing Cabinet to n+1, that other current cultural journal of note, doing so is illuminating. Walk into St. Mark's Bookstore, for example, and there they sit, side-by-side, similarly sized and shaped. When asked about his putative rival, Najafi said he hadn't gotten around to reading any n+1 issues yet, although they'd just worked out a subscription exchange.
In a general sense, the magazines tread similar ground. Equally erudite, both seem committed to the care and renewal of Western culture (Cabinet makes some forays into Eastern as well). In tone, though, they are diametric opposites. The pages of n+1 reek with end-of-history, post-boomer anxiety: fear that the radicalism of the '60s has been permanently sold out and replaced with an irreversible spiral of cheapening and hype. Cabinet's version of synthetic history, on the other hand, is far too tangled to permit the specter of an endpoint.
Cabinet's effect is a kind of soothing yet critical optimism. The magazine doesn't shirk from themes of sexuality, hallucination, brutal power, and the general inhumanity of man, but its overall sensibility verges on an almost childlike wonder—at the odd hacks that constitute human culture and the endless novelties they can yield when looked at from the right angle. Articles in the past have speculated about the path that the six-pointed star took from Eastern religious icon to Western sheriff's badge; profiled a collector of obsolete computer technology; and probed the tangled legal precedents regarding women's pleasure devices. On a more rare contemporary note, an interview examined Eudora's system for flagging inappropriate e-mails to caution their writers. (The phrases "sexual relationship" and "her tongue is furry" set off warnings; the term "wop" did not.)
Cabinet's new space may be an opportunity for them to assert the kind of timely relevance they've largely eschewed before. They recently hosted a talk on "Leaving the 21st Century"—a reference to the Situationists' hope of somehow leaving the 20th—although the lecture turned out to be more of an entertaining intro to Guy Debord's avant-garde movement than a proposal for new action, as promised. It's clear that Najafi has not completely found sure footing in terms of how best to use his new staging ground.
This should be fine with him; Najafi says he tends to be more interested by frustration and discomfort than in untroubled success: "I aim for every issue of the magazine to have an element that's like a turd in the middle of the whole thing, so nobody feels totally at home."

Yes, those games do it well. A Stardew Valley day is only fifteen minutes, though, so it's not depressing if you lose without saving. But if it also saves on sleeping, then that's good enough for me. Sleeping isn't too hard to do. Or hopefully isn't.thedamngod wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 2:43 pmIt also saves on sleeping if I remember that correctly. Is the gameplay tailored to require repeating rest? I only know that sleeping also regenerates health, but not whether there system for tiredness, like there is for hunger. If this would then only result in the loss of a few minutes then it should not be too much of a problem. In games like Stardew Valley or My Time At Portia you would also loose some of your progress if you quit in the end of the day without sleeping. And I think that in those cases it is not too much of an inconvenience. It rather encourages to play a 'bit' longer, which has usually ended in a few extra hours for me

In honor of my (and our) recent rewatch of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, I thought I'd share this oldie but goodie forum thread that wonders: How would Xenomorphs from Aliens do in Lord of the Rings?
This is my favorite kind of speculation, largely because everyone in the thread is so considered and takes it so seriously.
Here's Alqulod, who offers my favorite analysis:
Xenomorphs are bullet proof, and sometimes even Predator supertech close-combat weaponry fails against them.
Unless Gandalf and Radagast start using their full Maia über powers, everything dies horribly. At least in the original LotR, a human could reasonably be expected to kill Orcs in a 1:1 ratio or better...
The Xenomorphs are going to have a much, much higher kill ratio. Even a single one could give Aragorn or Boromir trouble, and those guys are pretty much as good as a human could reasonably get as far as killing stuff goes.
Frodo won't make it beyond the Misty Mountains before Sauron has offed Gondor and is making his way through Rohan and Lothlorien like a lightsaber through melting butter.
The thing is, if, as I pointed out, Frodo gets to be Ellen Ripley (Since he looks so much like her at the end anyway), we have to presume that he'll have a power loader. Which would make the final battle with the alien queen atop Mount Doom much more evenly matched.
Er, anyway. I guess the good folk of Middle-Earth can be glad that Sauron's reach didn't extend all the way to LV-426.
Feel free to discuss aliens, cross-franchise-battles, or whatever else, here or over in the Talk Amongst Yourselves forum. Have good chatting, and a good Wednesday night.

We have a broad target but our customers are generally educated consumers who know how to compare products and determine where they can purchase the best value item from. Most of our customers are familiar with using computers but we also have a large number of retired/older customers.
We require Logos to be designed for every type of product we sell. These logos need to be visually appealing and will highlight the key features of each products. The entire Logo set should be themed in a similar manner and logos should try to minimize the amount of text.
An example of previous work done is for our LCD TV range:
Each table includes the Logos on the right and offer a simpler way for customers to see the key features for each product.
An entire range of Logos needs to be created for the following products:
Each product type needs 4 - 8 Logos depending on the features.
A complete list of features is attached - Each set needs to have similar Logo's. The Logo's should match or complement the general website theme.
We initially only need Logos for ONE Category/Product. The best design will win additional work to make the rest.

Promised dinner at a nearby fast food restaurant, around a dozen male street children from the Vito Cruz area let themselves be whisked off to the Multi-Purpose Hall of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) by two young men one April afternoon.
The boys were going to play a game, and the instructions were simple: at the appointed time, the kids would enter a makeshift enclosure in pairs and the objective of each, in emulation of professional wrestlers, was to eject his opponent from the ring. As the children began fighting, the men acted as commentators, egging the combatants on.
Although the wrestling appeared to be no more than rough-housing at the outset, it quickly escalated: the blows became more forceful; the contenders were suddenly all inside the arena; and one of the boys, twelve-year-old Marco Ramirez (a pseudonym) , found himself trapped in a corner, attacked by several assailants.
Rather than attempt to bring the situation to order, however, the men continued to yell their lungs out.
Alarmed, an audience member jumped into the fray, trying to distract the kids by offering his own body as a target for their aggression. Another hit the lights, plunging the hall into darkness. A third shouted at the commentators, denouncing the proceedings as exploitative.
As the frenzy subsided, someone cried out for a first-aid kit: while all the children were sore, if not bruised, from the experience, Ramirez had sustained a wound on his foot.
Precisely what had the boys gotten themselves into? They have said that it was never really explained to them, but they had participated in Criticism Is Hard Work, a performance piece staged by poet Angelo Suarez and visual artist Costantino Zicarelli for the opening day of Tupada Xing: Social Contract. Organized by the Tupada art collective, it was also known as the Tupada Action and Media Art Fourth International Action Art Event 2007 (TAMA '07).
Five years later, artist Alwin Reamillo, the viewer who had loudly decried the piece as exploitation, is still outraged. "You don't do that in a performance," he said in an interview, believing that Criticism, which he compared to a cockfight or a dogfight, was a case of child abuse. Republic Act No. 7610, the Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act, defines "child abuse" as the maltreatment of a child, habitual or otherwise, including "any act by deeds or words which debases, degrades or demeans the intrinsic worth and dignity of a child as a human being".

Silver Lining Cupcake Co.
We are a young couple following our dream of opening our own cupcake bakery. Silver Lining Cupcake Co. is an intimate, cafe-style bakery specializing in Southern gourmet cupcakes. Our cupcakes are baked fresh each morning with fresh (and, whenever possible, all-natural) ingredients.
Silver Lining Cupcake Co. is in a Southern college town, so our number one target market is the massive student population! Our bakery is within walking distance to freshman dorms, the college campus, and sorority/fraternity houses. This is the segment of the population that we will count on to come in, sit down, study, and get their sugar fix (and then tell their friends about it).
Also nearby is an established and prominent community of professors, lawyers, doctors, and soccer moms (or dads). We want to appeal to this older segment because they are the ones we will rely on for high volume orders for birthday parties and other special events.
Our bakery style is Southern-eclectic (think plantation-meets-exposed-brick-loft), and we want our logo to reflect that style. The bakery interior consists of dark hardwood floors, sky-blue walls, white trim and beadboard, and an exposed industrial-style ceiling. There are cozy sofas, cafe tables, and bar seating.
Our bakery colors are cornflower blue, leathery brown, and silver (although we only want the silver used sparingly, if at all, in the logo). A splash of an additonal bright color is welcome, if accented correctly.
Words that describe our ideal logo: charming, simple, classy, whimsical, contemporary (but not overly modern).
The name should read "Silver Lining Cupcake Co." The name should be part of our logo, but we also want our logo to (eventually) be so recognizable that it can stand on it's own, without our company name. We would like the logo to include a cupcake in some way, but it doesn't need to be the predominant design.
We don't want to see: "cutesy" or cartoonish. No cupcakes with faces. Nothing aimed at children--these cupcakes are for grown-ups!
We have included three very different logos we like (labeled Icon5, Icon4, and Icon3) and one that we do NOT like (labeled Icon2) to give you some ideas, but we are looking for a fresh perspective, so PLEASE don't hesitate to show us something completely different!
We look forward to seeing the designs!

A book that just climbed my priority reading list! "Lone Survivors" (I like that, 'lone' - yet plural), a new book in which British anthropologist Christopher Stringer reports that some Homo sapiens wore shoes as early as 40,000 years ago.Yet the 'Well blog' reported last year, however, "anecdotal evidence has mounted that some runners, after kicking off their shoes, have wound up hobbled by newly acquired injuries. These maladies, instead of being prevented by barefoot running, seem to have been induced by it." they prove that bad running form is injurious regardless of the shoes(or lack)
It's really a case for minimal footwear, Daniel Lieberman says: "For most of human evolutionary history, runners were either barefoot or wore minimal footwear such as sandals or moccasins with smaller heels and little cushioning relative to modern running shoes."
Stringer explains that the degree of robustness in toe bones allows experts to distinguish from the condition of skeletal material whether people wore shoes or went barefoot during their lives. Skeletons from 40,000 years ago at Tianyuan, China, and also 28,000 years ago from Sungir, Russia, clearly bear on their bones the marks of shoe-wearing.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) September 09, 2014
It's often called superstition, but Western businesses are starting to see a rising influence of Asian principles like the practice of feng shui become commonplace. The feng shui of a residence or business can often make or break the deal for Asian clientele. The conservatives might balk, but world-savvy businesses might find that incorporating the ancient art of feng shui makes good financial sense.
There's no doubt about China's financial clout in today's economy and that their influence is expected to rise. As we move into a more global economy, there is an increasing need to rise to meet the unique design and conceptual challenges posed by Asian design traditions. Chinese firms are making starts on large commercial and residential developments, and a recent article in the Wall Street Journal points out the rise in Chinese home builders. These firms are not only building, they're including feng shui principles, like avoiding having a sink and stove opposite one another, a very common arrangement in Western kitchens but considered taboo in feng shui. These new developments are going up on both East and West Coasts and are designed for Chinese consumers in America.
Travel has also noticed the rising Chinese tourism, with more than a 53% growth in Chinese travel from 2009 to 2010. Hotels like Fairmont and Hilton are adding congee, a rice porridge, to morning buffets, and businesses are increasingly adding Mandarin-speaking staff. That's because when the Chinese vacation, they come looking to spend. According to the US Commerce department, Chinese visitors average $ 7,100 per visit, more than doubling that of other overseas visitors who average about $ 3,240. An estimated 1.8 million Chinese tourists visited the US in 2013, and that number is expected to grow to 2.1 million in 2014. According to a new report, the number of Chinese visitors coming to the United States will more than triple by 2020.
Business has learned that accommodating Asian aesthetics is also financially smart. The Las Vegas MGM Grand was originally designed to have patrons enter an open lion's mouth, but changed the entrance when visitors complained it was bad luck to enter the mouth of a vicious animal. The new entrance, redesigned in 1998, and now features a stately lion in repose at the front of the casino, is considered to be more auspicious and luckier for gambling. This redesign significantly changed MGM's bottom line in gambling dollars.
More than just making sense, feng shui makes money. In Asia, businesses rarely begin construction on new projects without consulting a feng shui master. The feng shui master looks at the surroundings, calculates the degree of an entrance or reads the symbolism of the concepts incorporated in the building's design. Another sign of the Chinese influence? The issuance of EB-5 visas to foreigners that enables them to invest $ 500,000 as a way of gaining a temporary visa. In all, over 6,800 were issued to Chinese nationals, widely overtaking all other countries. The next closest country was South Korea with 364 visas issued.
What is clear is that taking feng shui principles and guidelines into account makes good business sense, and why it's a good idea that businesses look for ways to incorporate feng shui principles like those practiced in Asia. Creating an appealing environment that makes both businesses and consumers comfortable will give businesses that extra edge in competing for Asian and Chinese dollars, but shouldn't overlook feng shui's appeal to Westerners too. To help would-be feng shui consultants understand these principles, Feng Shui expert, Kathryn Weber, and publisher of the Red Lotus Letter feng shui e-zine, will be offering a Feng Shui Master Consultant certification course in traditional Chinese feng shui this November 12-16, 2014 at the Hilton Lake Las Vegas in Henderson, Nevada.
Participants will learn important principles and guidelines of traditional Chinese feng shui versus the Westernized feng shui that is more aimed at following esoteric practices and has a highly spiritual quality about it that appeals more to Westerners. Traditional Chinese feng shui looks at time and uses ancient formulas and a specialized compass called a luo pan. All attendees will be exposed and trained in the fundamentals of feng shui as it applies to various types of residences and businesses.
Learning how to interpret feng shui principles will create appealing environments more suited for Asian clientele. Weber explains that she frequently speaks to businesses and architects looking for feng shui consultants who are classically trained and who can bridge the gap between East and West, and who take a Chinese approach to feng shui. Plus, according to Weber, consultants trained in this method can command higher fees for this knowledge and skill and are highly marketable as business advisers.
Aspiring feng shui consultants will want to know
1) How to practice traditional Chinese feng shui more easily
2) How to begin their feng shui consulting practice
3) Easy ways to market themselves and how to charge for their services
To learn more details about these questions and others be sure to sign up for the free 28-page ebook "HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL FENG SHUI CONSULTANT: a Comprehensive Guide to Breaking into the Feng Shui Business." http://bit.ly/fengshuipro
Kathryn Weber is one of the leading feng shui experts on the Internet. Her Red Lotus Letter feng shui e-zine has over 30,000 subscribers. Her annual feng shui forecasts can be read on Amazon and on her website, redlotusletter.com. She has had three feng shui jewelry collections on Home Shopping Network, publishes a weekly syndicated DIY newspaper column for Tribune Content Agency for the past four years, and has a line of feng shui luo pans manufactured exclusively for her in China. She has been asked to speak and train on authentic feng shui to real estate companies and architecture firms, such as YWS International, an architecture firm specializing in the leisure and gaming industry with offices in Las Vegas, Singapore, Macau, and Beijin. She has been featured in magazines and websites such as Seventeen, Conceive, Natural Health, CBS MoneyWatch, and Entrepreneur.com.

The father of the Santa Clara teen stowaway, whose 5 1/2 hour journey inside a Boeing 767 wheel well captured the world's attention, said Sunday that he will fly to Hawaii to bring his son home.
The father identified the teen as Yahya Abdi. Yahya survived the flight from San Jose Mineta International Airport to Hawaii last Sunday despite high altitudes, low oxygen and freezing temperatures.
"My name is Abdulahi Yusuf and I am Yahya's father," a statement from Yusuf said. "Our family was deeply concerned when my son went missing, and we were relieved to hear of his safety considering the circumstances of his trip."
The statement was delivered on behalf of Yusuf by Zahra Billoo, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
"My son, like many immigrant children, is struggling adjusting to life in this country," the statement said. "Our situation was aggravated by our displacement in Africa for many years after fleeing our home country of Somalia because of war conditions. As a result, my son was not able to receive any formal education before we immigrated to the United States. Yahya is a good kid who I love dearly."
U.S. & World
Yusuf said that he plans to fly to Hawaii soon to be reunited with his son.
[I] "am excited to bring him back home to his family in California," he said in the statement. "We thank everybody for their concern and support, and ask that people continue to respect our privacy during this incredibly difficult time."
Abdi told Voice of America in an earlier interview that his son always talked about going back to Africa, where his grandparents still lived.
The teen's mother Ubah Mohamed Abdullahi told VOA that her son had recently found out that she was alive after being informed by his father she had died.
"I was told that he did this because of me," she told VOA. "I know his mentality. You know our kids. He was the smartest of them (the kids). I know how he could react."
Abdullahi is divorced from Abdi. The boy lives with his father, a cab driver, in Santa Clara.

WESTBOROUGH - Shortly after arriving from the Midwest, poet and publisher Zorina Exie Frey decided to bring her longtime love of language to her new home in Westborough.
So last fall the Indiana native established the Literary Arts Open Mic, a twice-a-month forum for spoken word artists at Tatnuck Bookseller in the Westborough Shopping Center.
On the second and fourth Thursdays of the month, Frey hosts a 60-minute platform for all kinds of verbal magic.
She�s inviting poets, writers, playwrights, storytellers, singers and musicians to the area�s newest site for word slinging.
"Starting over in Massachusetts, it was natural for me to go back to my love of literature. As a poet, I�d started reading at open mics so it just felt right to start one now I�m here,�� she said.
Tatnuck manager Charles Napoleon said Frey�s open mics "add another dimension�� to the store�s support for literacy and local authors. "We�ve had some good turn-outs,�� he said. "When people see live performers, it often gives them a new appreciation for poetry and other forms.��
A journalism major at Indiana University, Frey first considered starting her own open mic after sensing a need for local venues that wouldn�t require long drives to Boston or Worcester. So she approached the management at Tatnuck Bookseller, Gift Gallery and Caf� and initially proposed a once-a-month event that she inaugurated in September and October.
Several other open mics operate in MetroWest with varied focuses. Cheryl Perreault hosts "Wake Up and Smell the Poetry�� once a month at HCAM cable television in Hopkinton with an emphasis on poetry, storytelling and music. David Hornfischer organizes and hosts a Comedy Open Mique the first Wednesday of every month at Amazing Things Art Center in Framingham.
Reconvening this year after a holiday season break, Frey incorporated feedback from participants and attendants and expanded it to the second and fourth Thursdays of the month with a "featured artist�� scheduled for the latter event.
She has already brought acclaimed poet Ryk McIntyre and local author and storyteller Jan Krause Greene to her Thursday events.
After appearing last Thursday, Krause said, "Tatnuck is a great venue because the audience is fully engaged and very appreciative.��
The author of "I Call Myself Earth Girl,�� the Marlborough resident said the area�s newest open mic provides convenient access for experienced and amateur spoken word artists.
Greene said, "It�s pretty impressive Zorina started this from scratch.��
"It�s important because it�s hard to get noticed. The more venues, the better because the word gets out,�� she said. "I think a real community of all types of artists is developing here. I�m grateful to Zorina for being the catalyst.��
While studying journalism, Frey published in 2006, "I Won�t Apologize for Being a Woman,�� a memoir of poems and prose stories she described as "told by a young woman struggling to live by Christian values in today�s society.��
The same year, she founded I.W.A. Publishing Services that helps people get their works into print.
Frey said "the word has been getting out�� about the Literary Arts Open Mics and the number of attendees seems to be growing.
She welcomes poets, authors, storytellers and musicians to the event that runs from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in Tatnuck�s events room.
Frey begins each event by reciting lines from her poem, "It�s Time,�� which begins "It�s time to collect, to recollect, and come correct ���
She�s already lined up several notable poets and authors as featured artists for the coming months. They include Michelle Chalmers in April, George Popovici in May, Paul Gwiadowski for June, Guy Cote for July and Joane Blake for August.
Frey said she expects the Literary Arts Open Mic events to evolve. "I like to think of it as an organic process. I�ve got my ears open for suggestions,�� she said. "Anything to make it better.��

We're doing a season-long NFL roundtable with our friends at Slate. Check back here each week as a rotating cast of football watchers discusses the weekend's key plays, coaching decisions, and traumatic brain injuries.
« Previous entry | Next entry »
From: Barry Petchesky
To: Josh Levin, Tommy Craggs
I'm glad we're all in agreement that Cam Newton unleashing his natural gifts upon the world—and being compensated for doing so—is a good thing. Somewhere Ayn Rand (or at least Brad Bird) smiles. A single player with a jaw-dropping stat sheet can make even the most hopeless team bearable for its fanbase. The Panthers may not win more than four or five games, but that's not the point. The point is that NBC could flex Carolina into a Sunday Night Football game and no one would complain. A single saving grace, and a season is relevant.
Which is to say, it's extra-depressing for fans of 0-2 teams without the blessing of even individual accomplishment. To know after two games that your team is going nowhere is to die a four-month death, and you rarely need more than two games to identify the terrible teams. I feel confident in pronouncing seasons over in Minnesota, Indianapolis, Seattle, Miami, and Kansas City. They've shown us nothing, not even a spark of better things to come. Any one of these teams has a legitimate shot at and a desperate need for Andrew Luck, so any tanking is going to start soon. Or, in Indy's case, it started two weeks ago, when Kerry Collins showed up for work.
And what about the other side of the ledger? Who looks good after 120 minutes of football? The signs are promising in a couple of unexpected places. Buffalo has a legitimate No. 1 running back in Fred Jackson—not even half the teams in the league can say the same thing—and a talented change-of-pace guy to spell him in C.J. Spiller. Stevie Johnson is elite. And in Harvard man Ryan Fitzpatrick, they have a Trent Dilfer or Jeff Hostetler, the vaunted game manager. He'll never wow you, but he'll rarely shoot his team in the foot. That's good enough for nine wins in today's NFL.
The 2-0 Texans are built the same way. They have a solid offensive line and talent at the skill positions (Matt Schaub, Andre Johnson, and whoever's got two healthy hamstrings running the ball), and if those things alone aren't a blueprint for January success, they're good enough for 9-7. Unlike Buffalo's, Houston's 9-7 is enough to win the division.
Which brings us to the Lions, who are second in the league in both points scored and points allowed. Bill Simmons fretted that too many people liked them as sleepers, but that's a straw man. The Lions, hard as it may be to imagine, were full-fledged playoff favorites going into 2011. In a weird way, Matthew Stafford's two season-ending injuries were the best thing that could have happened to Detroit: two lost seasons to spend building around the defense, through trade, the draft, and free agency. While Buffalo's and Houston's lack of a pass rush will kill them as the season wears on, Detroit is built to go deep into the winter, and not just this winter.
But it goes without saying that everything depends on Stafford's shoulder, which at this point is held together by duct tape and the magic of children's laughter. One injury and Detroit's written off. So my question to you, Tommy: Is there a more valuable player in football right now? I don't mean the MVP award—Tom Brady is going to throw for 6,000 yards because he can. I mean, which individual is most responsible for his team's success? Cam Newton need not apply.


text: TAM Music: Shonen Knife By Rose Riot Raise your hand if remember the all-girl, Japanese surf/garage rock band 220.127.116.11's in the movie Kill Bill Volume 1? I am happy to report that these diminutive ladies otherwise known as Shonen Knife are celebrating their 30th year rocking Ramone-esque style with a US tour. Seen by some as a novelty act, Shonen Knife gained popularity and respect by the likes of Sonic Youth, Red Kross and Nirvana in the 90s. They have also gone on to do many theme songs used in movies and cartoons... I was lucky enough to catch Shonen Knife October 26 at The Masquerade in Atlanta. The show was started with an ultra polite song called "Konichiwa". Being that the ladies sang in Japanese, I can't give you a full run down of the set list. They did however sing a song about the worlds largest rodent, the capybara in which they told a story about these creatures living in their native Osaka, Japan. I hate to say this because it doesn't sound very rock and roll but everything about Shonen Knife was adorable. Check out the picture gallery below:

MIAMI (Reuters) - New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez paid legal fees for the owner of a Miami anti-aging clinic at the center of a doping scandal that ensnared 13 professional baseball players, a spokesperson for the clinic owner said on Monday.
Rodriguez, who is fighting a lengthy suspension for his alleged doping, paid the lawyer for clinic owner Anthony Bosch a $25,000 retainer in February, and later made a second wire transfer for nearly $50,000 that the attorney declined, the spokesperson said.
Major League Baseball is suing Bosch and several other people associated with the Biogenesis clinic in a Miami area suburb for alleged interference with its anti-doping agreement with players.
The Miami attorney, Susy Ribero-Ayala, accepted the $25,000 "on behalf of Anthony Bosch as payment for his legal representation," according to Joyce Fitzpatrick, who serves as spokesperson for Bosch and Ribero-Ayala. The second payment in April, which Fitzpatrick described as "unsolicited and unwarranted," was returned. She declined further comment on the payment.
Fitzpatrick said Bosch and Rodriguez no longer have any legal relationship.
Rodriguez, who grew up in Miami, was suspended by MLB for 211 games through the end of the 2014 season. Twelve other players received 50-game suspensions.
One of the highest-paid professional athletes in the United States, Rodriguez has denied any wrongdoing, and has appealed his suspension to an arbitrator.
Lawyers for Rodriguez did not respond to a request for comment but told ESPN earlier that the second transfer had been sent in error. They did not contest the first payment.
Fitzpatrick declined to comment on media speculation about the possible appearance that Rodriguez may have been trying to persuade Bosch not to cooperate with Major League Baseball's investigation of his ties to Biogenesis.
"Mr. Bosch has consistently expressed his desire to cooperate with any and all investigative authorities," she said.
Bosch's clinic is also under federal investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami for the unlicensed sale of controlled substances to professional baseball players, as well as high school students, according to lawyers familiar with the investigation.
Bosch has not spoken to the media in months, but initially denied any wrongdoing.
A Grand Jury began hearing testimony and taking evidence last Friday, the Miami Herald reported.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami launched the probe last month after Porter Fischer, a whistleblower at the defunct Biogenesis clinic said professional baseball players were not its only customers, according to legal correspondence with Fischer that was viewed by Reuters.
The probe involved an "investigation into federal illegal substance violations," according to a copy of the correspondence that was provided to Reuters in late July.
The U.S. Attorney's Office declined to comment on the existence of an investigation.
Fischer obtained hundreds of pages of client records from Biogenesis that he alleged show payments from some of the players for performance-enhancing drugs and that he later turned over to a Miami weekly newspaper, which published them.
The Florida Department of Health fined Bosch $5,000 in April for violating state law for diagnosing and treating patients without a proper doctor's license.

Working with XDK
1. What are the functions of the two mechanical push buttons?
The two push buttons present on the XDK device are programmable or can be defined by the user. Interrupts are supported for both buttons.
2. What do the different colours of the status LEDs on XDK mean?
The LEDs can have different states. If the green LED is continuous, the XDK is charging. If it's flashing, the safety timers have expired. If it's off, charging is complete and the device is fully charged. The yellow LED means that the boot loader mode is active and USB connected. If the red LED is on, the XDK is in boot loader mode.
3. How to connect XDK with the Extension Board?
The extension board offers a simple way to implement additional functions and can be connected to XDK via ribbon cable (included in delivery) with the extension connector of the XDK.
4. What is the difference between accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer?
Accelerometer: An accelerometer measures the acceleration forces. These forces may be static (like force of gravity) or dynamic (moving or vibrating the accelerometer). For example, a dynamic accelerometer measures gravitational pull to determine the angle at which a device is tilted with respect to the Earth. By sensing the amount of acceleration, users can analyze how the device is moving. Gyroscope: A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principles of angular momentum. It is used in navigation on aerial vehicles, compasses, machinery, hardware monitoring etc. A gyroscope is used in an aircraft to aid in indication of the rate of rotation around the aircraft roll axis. The main difference between the two devices is simple: A gyroscope can sense the rotation, whereas the other cannot. Magnetometer: A magnetometer is a device that measures magnetic fields, by sensing and measuring the magnetic flux density. Many smart phones contain magnetometers; apps exist that serve as compasses.
5. How to load a program or sketch to XDK?
Loading a program in XDK is very simple. Just execute the following steps: 1. Connect your XDK device to the system via USB cable that was included in the delivery. 2. Open the XDK workbench. 3. Load /import the project. 4. Click on the Flash button.
6. How to debug the program on XDK?
XDK supports external debuggers also, for example; the J-Link adapter ''J-Link 9-Pin Cortex-M Adapter''. It can be purchased from Segger (http://www.segger.com). The adapter facilitates using JTAG to debug the program on the XDK
7. What is the function of the Toolbox?
The Toolbox contains various virtual sensors such as orientation, absolute humidity and magnetic fingerprinting.
8. Flashing does not work
If you are having troubles flashing the XDK or you are getting errors while doing so, try to put the XDK into the bootloader mode manually. For this turn the XDK off. Press button 1 and hold it, turn the XDK on again still pressing the button. Once the red LED turns on, release the button.
9. What is accessible via the break-outboard?
The break-outboard can be directly connected to a standard breadboard. It has 28 pins, A14 and B14 are connected to GND.
10. How do I use the temperature sensor properly?
The hardware placements of the XDK are that way, that the WiFi module is on the otherside of the PCB than the sensors. Therefore, if accurate temperature sensor measurement is required, the recommendation is to communicate via Blue Tooth Low Energy, BLE to avoid self heating effect of the WiFi Module. The recommended mounting orientation is that the sensor are down and the jumper for the extension board is up. Use the mounting plate(wall mounting), if neccessary, to get the recommended vertical orientation. The heating of the µProc which is above the seonsors than, helps to get air convection through the housing. the air of the environment gets in the housing, streams over the sensor and is later on warmed by the µProc and convected out of the housing. Fresh air streams in... This improves temperature measurement.
XDK Workbench
1. Installation failed
Admin rights may be necessary to install the application. Start the application file in admin mode or contact your network admin for help.
2. USB connection timeouts
Disable the virtual COM ports coming from your bluetooth adapter.
3. Flashing problems / Reset XDK
To recover XDK, please switch it off. Then press and hold button one and turn it on. Once the red LED comes on, release button 1. XDK is now in bootloader mode and should be recognized in XDK Workbench. This allows you to flash new software.
4. Creation of new projects & renaming of projects fails
The paths might have been changed due to an update and caused the XDK Workbench not to recognize the makefile. To fix this, simply click on the project, make a right click on it -> Choose "Properties" -> C/C++ Build and add "make" to the Build Directory. Changing this will give the XDK Workbench a hint where to find the right Makefile.
5. USB port is blocked/ No connection in other applications possible
In the upper left part of the XDK-workbench is a button with the name "COM". If the XDK is connected there is a green icon next to the font. Clicking on this button disconnects the XDK. If the XDK is disconnected the icon changes its color to blue.
Demo: Sensor Monitor
1. USB port cannot be detected / USB connection problems
The XDK workbench and connected USB dongles must be closed/detached when the Sensor Monitor software is running.
2. XDK Sensor Monitor doesn't connect to WiFi
The WiFi connection is only established if the sensor is not connected via USB or the hostname may cause problems if containing spaces.
3. Change the data collection interval
The collection interval is limited to 100ms. However if you want to change the data collection interval, you can go to Settings -> collection interval and set it to a number between 300 and 60 000. This will set the collection interval to a different value, initially 1000 is preset here.

On Friday a producer of Larry Kudlow's CNBC show asked whether I would be willing to come on that evening to talk about this editorial in the Harvard Crimson. As it happened, I was already committed for the evening and had to decline, but that was just as well, as I wasn't sure what to say about the article in any event.
The Crimson editorial chides Harvard graduates who go on to use the university as a whipping boy, especially in a political context:
If you think Harvard is a revolutionary communist hotbed, don't apply. If you think Harvard is full of "pinheaded" professors, don't enroll. And if you think Harvard pollutes the minds of its students, don't walk out of here with a degree—and certainly don't get two.
You see, lately, there seems to be a pernicious trend of public figures—especially those on the right—falling in love with Harvard just long enough to benefit from its educational resources and, yes, its social prestige, before turning against our school. Just recently, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas affirmed his belief that Harvard Law School was, during his years as a student there, home to a cohort of "Marxists who believed in…overthrowing the United States government." In November, Fox News pundit and Harvard Kennedy School graduate Bill O'Reilly glibly referred to Harvard professors as "pinheaded" while implying that the Harvard community is morally suspect for its acceptance of Harvard College Munch, a group for students who share an interest in kinky sex. And last April, presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who holds a J.D. and MBA from our fine institution, lambasted President Obama for having spent "too much time at Harvard."
Such episodes of treachery are apparently attempts to curry favor with the more anti-intellectual members of our body politic. Yet it is finally time that we say enough is enough. We at The Crimson urge anyone who plans on one day scoring political points by maligning Harvard to neither apply, enroll, nor graduate from this fine institution.
Frankly, much as I disagree with the Crimson's political slant, I think the editors have a point. Do Ivy League institutions like Harvard tilt to the left? Of course. But left-wing outrages are just as likely to come from state universities (think Ward Churchill) and the local community college. There are great conservatives at the Ivy League schools, not to mention the many fine teachers who are more or less apolitical. And I do think it is a bit unseemly for Mitt Romney, who has degrees from both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School, to tweak Barack Obama for spending too much time there.
Dismissive comments about educational institutions like Harvard are common on the right, and the Crimson's editors are not alone in seeing them as a manifestation of anti-intellectualism. They are intended, I take it, to strike a populist tone. But do they do so effectively? I don't think so. Putting aside the question whether Harvard is any more left-wing than, say, the University of Wisconsin, I suspect that attacks of the sort cited by the Crimson are counter-productive. Most people, rightly or wrongly, think of institutions like Harvard as places of great intellectual achievement–which is, after all, the point of singling them out for disdain. As far as I can see, for example, virtually everyone considers Barack Obama's having been President of the Harvard Law Review to be a fine thing, and some even considered it, however misguidedly, to be a qualification for high political office. Equating intellectualism with leftism plays into the (entirely false) narrative that paints conservatives as ignoramuses, and Republicans as the "stupid party."
The question of how conservatives and Republicans can better appeal to low-information voters is a critical one, and I don't have any easy answers. But there is little evidence that indulging in what comes across as anti-intellectual populism is an effective means to that end.

Inter-Institutional Course on Combating Illicit Firearms Trafficking (IITC)
The IITC is UN-LiREC's trademark training course designed to build the capacities of Latin American and Caribbean States to implement international instruments in the area of firearms control, including the UN 2001 PoA on Small Arms and the International Tracing Instrument. By enhancing the technical knowledge and practical techniques of a wide range of mid-level law enforcement officials, these "first responders" are better equipped to combat the illicit trafficking in firearms, ammunition and explosives and prevent the diversion of legal weapons into the illicit market.
The IITC is a comprehensive 10-day course (7.5 days of theory and 2.5 days of practical exercise in the field), which focuses on providing participants with technical skills, such as basic concepts related to the identification of firearms, ammunition and explosives, and the appropriate and gradual use of force and practical disarmament measures, as well as with over-arching security-related concepts, such as national, regional and human security, human rights, gender, and youth.
A virtual forum for instructors and participants is available at
. This forum serves as a follow-up and information exchange tool for instructors, experts, organizers and participants taking part in UN-LiREC-developed IITCs. The objectives are to provide additional ad hoc assistance to participants and institutions on course-related issues; support professional networks on course-related topics; and follow-up on the professional development of participants in their fight against illicit firearms trafficking. Each section of the forum is moderated by a UN-LiREC staff member.
Governments are urged by UN-LiREC to guarantee a minimum female participation of 25%. As of November 2010, UN-LiREC offers a specialized training course aimed at female law enforcement officers on investigative techniques to prevent illicit firearms trafficking
Transfer practical knowledge and skills immediately applicable to participants professional responsibilities to combat illicit firearms trafficking
Stimulate and encourage inter-institutional communication and collaboration to combat illicit firearms at the operational level
Provide a standardized course format and materials that national government partners can easily replicate after receiving initial training and assistance
Promote the integration of course material on illicit firearms into the national curricula of law enforcement training academies and institutes
Since 2004, UN-LiREC, in collaboration with its partners, has undertaken over 45 national and sub-regional IITC courses throughout the Latin American and Caribbean region. List of 2004-2010 courses

It's impossible to watch this and not think of Randy Parker, Ralphie's brother from A Christmas Story. C'mon guys! C'mon! Hey! That's not funny! Guys!
One Minecraft enthusiast's little brother just became acquainted with silverfish, the mob introduced with the 1.8 release. Attacking them, as you can see, is quite counterproductive as it just invites more to the scene. The whining really hits noogie/pinkbelly/purple-nurple class at around 1:30.
Randy, lay there like a slug! It's your only defense.

A record number of people aged 50 and over are in work, according to the latest labour market release from the Office for National Statistics.
The data shows more than 10.3 million over-50s were in employment from September to November 2018.
This represents around 32% of all workers, up from 22% when the records began in 1992, and the highest rate seen so far.
Alistair McQueen, head of savings and retirement at Aviva, said:
"We've never seen a population of this age and size in work. They are record breakers.
"However, more must be done by employers to support these record breakers in a fuller working life."
The statistics show that as people progress through their 50s and into their 60s, employment levels still tend to decrease significantly.
While 9 million people were in work at age 50, this fell to 1.2 million for those aged 65 and over - a decrease that McQueen called a "huge waste of talent, experience and potential".

YouTube has complained publicly for months that filtering copyrighted clips from its vast database is difficult, error-prone work, but new video-matching technology from MotionDSP promises to provide accurate identification of clips—even clips that have been resized, color-shifted, and rotated. It will make sending out DMCA takedowns much easier and more accurate for media owners, but MotionDSP's VP of engineering, Nikola Bozinovic, argues that his system will ultimately benefit consumers by enabling new kinds of usage rules.
The system, called Ikena Copyright, generates a library of hashes from existing video content, then runs the same algorithm on incoming video to see if it can find a match. The principal innovation in the Ikena system is the method for hash generation: it uses motion instead of color, histograms, or audio.
The problem with generating video hashes is that most attributes are simple to conceal. Hashes based on colors or other pixel statistics can easily be fooled by video clips that were filmed directly off a cinema screen by consumer equipment. Such a bootlegs usually have poor audio, color shifts, and the slight rotation of the image caused by a non-level camera. Alternately, material that is ripped from DVDs or high definition discs can be trimmed, slightly recolored, cropped into 4:3, resized, and compressed again—all things that can alter hashes based on pixel stats.
But the relative motion found in the frame doesn't change unless the editing is truly severe. The pan of the camera and the movement of main characters are consistent through most color, format, and compression changes, and Ikena relies on this fact to do its work.
Ars received a demonstration of the system from Bozinovic, who showed us the system operating against a small library of pre-hashed content. No matter what he did to the video clips in question, Ikena was able to match them against the proper library file (one clip that had been resized, color-corrected, and recompressed did generate false positives as well).
Field use
The technology certainly looks impressive, but MotionDSP is not yet ready to release the names of the companies testing the software. Ideally, the company would like to partner both with content delivery sites like YouTube and with copyright holders such as movie studios and TV production firms. In an ideal world, each copyright holder would allow MotionDSP to run hashes on all of its content in order to generate one central database of hashes that could then be used to scan many different video-sharing sites. The sites, too, have real incentive to get a system like this working, as Viacom's recent lawsuit against YouTube illustrates.
But one interesting aspect of MotionDSP's system is that it can be deployed and used successfully even when certain sites or studios don't want to cooperate. YouTube, for instance, could use the Ikena system even if the movie studios don't provide hashes of all their movies, instead growing the library "organically" by taking hashes from those clips that copyright holders identify with takedown notices.
Similarly, copyright holders could use the technology even if a company like YouTube does not agree. Bozinovic points out that it's easy enough to build a YouTube crawler that could pull down all the videos on the site, then check them against a movie studio's hash library. The results are likely to be far more accurate than searching sites for "Jon Stewart" and demanding that every search result be taken down, which seems to be the approach currently favored by the industry.
If such a system works well, it could certainly curtail the sharing of copyrighted videos at major sharing sites, but it would also flag clips that might fall under "fair use." Obviously, Ikena can't tell if a brief video clip is embedded in a news report, used for purposes of parody, or some other legitimate use. Bozinovic is aware of this, but argues that Ikena can actually allow for more uses of video content by consumers.
Currently, most studios simply look for clips of theirs; if they find them, they demand that the clips are taken down. With Ikena, finer-grained control will be possible. Movie studios could choose to allow any clip under four minutes, for instance, or longer clips at low resolutions. While fair use defenses would not be affected by the technology, sites like YouTube might be more inclined to simply abide by the restrictions set by studios than to get into legal battles over what is and is not fair use.
Whether this represents an opportunity for users is of course a matter of perspective. With copyright holders still in total control of clips, this is the sort of thing that's unlikely to launch a content or remixing revolution, as studios could change their terms at any time.
MotionDSP also assumes that the system will scale up well to include hundreds of thousands of hashes. Bozinovic sees this as his biggest challenge, and he and his team are currently working on techniques to "spread" the hash table in order to ensure that each signature is unique enough to be useful. Currently, using a 500-clip test bed, he says that the system generates only five false positives for every 500 video clips it examines—and that's after the clips have been resized, recompressed, and trimmed.
Bozinovic expects the technology to be used in production environments within the next several months. If it works well, we might soon be able to answer the question of what YouTube would be like without clips from The Daily Show.

Jon Pactor is one of the most loyal, dedicated alumni volunteers Wabash College has ever known. The 1971 graduate serves as class agent for his class; he's an elected member of the Board of Directors of the National Association of Wabash Men; he's received awards for his excellence as class agent and alumni admissions volunteer. There isn't much he hasn't done on behalf of his alma mater.
Jon is also one of the funniest, kookiest people I know. So when he approached six months ago about an idea he had to unite all Wabash alumni in an activity to highlight Wabash's mission, I wasn't sure if he was kidding me or if he was serious.
He was serious.
And so on October 29, 20-25 regional alumni associations will reach out to their communities as part of the first ever WABASH Day. Pactor dreamed up the acronym, to Wabash Alumni Benefiting And Serving Humanity.
See, Jon wanted alumni (and students) to think seriously about the last aspect of Wabash's four-line mission statement. The entire statement is: "Wabash College educates men to think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively, and live humanely." It was the "live humanely" aspect that Jon imagined alumni could actively exemplify on one day, all across the country.
It was typical Jon Pactor, too. He rolled up his sleeves and got to work. First, he bounced the idea off me and Tom Runge in the alumni office. He then took the plan to the NAWM Board of Directors, who enthusiastically endorsed the idea and offered a resolution to make it official.
Then came the hard part — lining up alumni volunteer leaders across the country in regional centers were the term "association" is defined quite differently. In many cases, participation in WABASH Day is the most formal activity a regional association has ever mounted. And it's a great way to start.
Each regional volunteer chose a project, then began working email and phones to get the word out. On my end, we designed a logo to mark the occasion and produced a number of stories on the College's website.
Gradually, things have begun to fall into place.
In Grand Rapids, Michigan, alumni will work with the GR Police Department to clean and repair parts of the Camp O'Malley youth camp. Two Wabash alums, Mark Ostapowicz '92 and Keith Hefner '94, both members of the GRPD, came up with the idea.
In Cincinnati, alumni Steve King '97 and Mike Baker '00 have organized an effort to work on the Holly Hill Children's Shelter, a place where abused and neglected girls can go to seek shelter.
In Denver, Dr. John Panozzo '89 has organized a grounds improvement project at the Karlis Family Center, which is a domestic violence shelter. The center was founded about 10 years ago by former Denver Brocos' kicker Rich Karlis, and it operates much like our own Family Crisis Shelter here in Montgomery County.
At least four different sets of alumni will be working in the greater Indianapolis area. Projects range from working with landscaping work with Frank Hagaman's Partners in Housing Development Corp., to placing March of Dimes ribbons throughout downtown Indianapolis. Other Indianapolis alumni will be working with projects at The Villages, an agency that assists abused children, and at Thrifty Threads, the consignment store associated with the domestic violence shelter, the Julian Center.
In Washington, D.C., alumni will work with the Special Olympics, and facilitate the Greater Washington American Heart Association three-mile Heart Walk.
The list goes on and on. Closer to home, Larry Frye, an honorary alumnus of Wabash, is spearheading efforts in Montgomery County. If your church, school, or non-profit agency could use some help on Saturday, October 29, give me a call at 361-6364 or call Larry at 361-6327. We'll see if we can get some bodies out to help you complete a project.
It should not have surprised me that Jon came up with such an unusual, creative way to live out Wabash's mission, not should it have surprised me that he's seen the effort through to fruition. In Jon's case, it's just another example of an alumnus thinking critically, acting responsibly, leading effectively, and, of course, living humanely.
