I wrote a post the other day called This For That in which I suggestred that derivative ideas are challenging to execute on and equally challenging for USV to get excited about. But there are exceptions. And Github insipired ideas are one particularly interesting area to us.
I recall when Steve Martocci came to talk to us about Splice. He talked about watching musicians work and wondering why there was nothing like GitHub for them to use to store the various versions of their work. That, of course, led to Splice. And one could call Splice "GitHub for Music". It is a lot more than that, of course, because building GitHub for Music opens up a lot of opportunities to do more for musicians. As GitHub did for programmers.
Yesterday, my partner Andy posted this link on usv.com. It's a story about a one time programmer who left software for the world of molecular biology and after a decade in the world of academic research, is leaving to do a startup which is, not surprisingly, GitHub for Life Science Protocols. You can back his Kickstarter here. I just did.
When programmers who are used to modern tools and techniques come across other industries where the tools are antiquated and the work is frustrating, they get inspired to create similar tools to make life easier. That's happening in a lot of sectors now, not just music and life sciences.
The power of the GitHub model is not just a repository of work and version control in the cloud. It's the public nature of much of that work. And the reputation and identity effects for those who publish some or all of their work publicly.
Tools like StackOverflow (a USV portfolio company) and GitHub allow programmers to see how other programmers have solved similar problems. I was at a hackathon up at Columbia University last weekend and one of the hacks was a development environment that automatically queried StackOverflow and GitHub as you are writing code so that you always have in front of you the answers to the questions you are most likely to ask. The developer who did the hack introduced it by saying something like "programming these days is more about searching than anything else". That reflects how collaborative the sharing of knowledge has become in the world of software development as a result of these cloud based tools for developers.
And this approach will naturally be adopted by other industries. And the entrepreneurs who bring these tools to other industries will most likely be developers who are inspired by GitHub and StackOverflow and tools like that. We are starting to see that in lots of interesting places.

Keith Urban Benefit Concert With Tim McGraw and Sheryl Crow
Keith Urban Kicks Off a Charitable Night With Sheryl Crow, Kid Rock, Tim McGraw, and More
Keith Urban Kicks Off a Charitable Night With Sheryl Crow, Kid Rock, Tim McGraw, and More
Some of country's biggest names got together to raise money for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum at Keith Urban's annual We're All For the Hall benefit in Nashville last night. It was Keith's fourth time hosting the event, which had performances by Tim McGraw, country legend Willie Nelson, Sheryl Crow, and Kid Rock. Also on hand were singers Trace Adkins, Eric Church, Jason Aldean, and Vince Gill.
Tim took the stage during a break from his residency with his wife, Faith Hill, in Las Vegas, which wraps up this month. He won't be away from the microphone for long, though, since he's hitting the road for his Two Lanes of Freedom Tour on May 2. Keith is also kicking off a string of dates with his Light the Fuse Tour launching in Ohio this Summer.

When Vista hits store shelves by the end of 2006, one feature it will be lacking is built-in virus protection. In an interview, Microsoft executive Jim Allchin said that virus protection will be sold separately as part of Microsoft's OneCare program, and not bundled with or tied into the OS itself.
Despite the fact that there will be no anti-virus component to Vista, Allchin said that Vista would bring "big advances" in the areas of safety and security. In fact, the difference between Windows XP and Vista when it comes to security will be "night and day," according to Allchin.
At first glance, it seems odd that Microsoft would tout Vista's security features and then say that it will be leaving out one absolutely essential tool for the platform once it ships. Given the amount of time and money Microsoft has invested in developing its own security solutions for its operating systems, folding anti-virus production into Vista seems like a logical next step. However, by reading between the lines of Allchin's responses, a clearer picture emerges.
CRN: Is there going to be antivirus in Vista?
Allchin: No, there is not.
CRN: Why?
Allchin: It's a complicated answer as to why not.
CRN: Was the decision based on technical concerns?
Allchin: It wasn't technical.
If it's not technical, that makes it a business decision or a regulatory decision. Which is it? Or is it a little of both?
On the business side, Microsoft's OneCare security service has been well-received since its announcement. OneCare is aimed at home users and offers anti-virus protection, an improved firewall, and a backup program, while automating some routine maintenance tasks. Currently in beta, OneCare Live is available for free. Pricing for the 1.0 version has not been announced, but chances are it will be low enough to make it attractive for more home users, but high enough to offer the possibility of another revenue stream in addition to sales of Vista. In so many words, less bundling equals more money... or so Microsoft hopes.
Lurking in the background is the big A word. As part of its 2002 settlement with the US Department of Justice, a compliance oversight committee was formed to monitor future Microsoft software development for potential antitrust issues. Early in 2005, we learned that the committee would be closely watching Vista's development to ensure compliance with the settlement. Including an anti-virus component with Vista would surely draw the attention of the committee, not to mention the ever-vigilant European Commission.
Vista's "big advances" in security aside, consumers are still going to looking for protection against viruses. That bodes well for companies like Symantec, McAfee, F-Secure, and other security software developers. Leaving anti-virus protection out of the OS—while offering it as a separate product—gives Redmond a way into the lucrative security software market. And given its antitrust history on both sides of the Atlantic, it's a much safer choice from a legal standpoint.

Geography is at the heart of taking a census. The U.S. Census Bureau is tasked with counting everyone in the United States once every ten years, but we do not just count people; we count people where they live. Here are several reasons why geography is important to the Census Bureau.
Leading up to the decennial census, several kinds of geographic areas are delineated to aid in the collection of address information and the delivery and collection of census forms. These areas include local census offices, crew leader districts, assignment areas, and several others. Creating geographic boundaries allows us to take the census in an organized and systematic fashion. It also allows us to track our progress spatially. It ensures we cover all parts of the United States completely and as efficiently as possible.
Geography also takes on the role of ensuring we get our field workers out to everyone's home. The Census Bureau stores all residential addresses that are included in the decennial census or on-going survey. In addition, we store all of the geographic features that need to go on a map to help field workers find all of the addresses. For the 2010 Census, and for our on-going survey work, we use both electronic and paper maps.
Data the Census Bureau collects are meaningless unless they are tied to a geographic area. Every number or statistic released by the Census Bureau relates to a specific geographic area. For instance, data users can find out the number of school-age children for the nation or for their city or even for their neighborhood. In fact, you can find data for more than 29 different geographic areas from the census blocks to counties to American Indian Reservations. Geography gives the data meaning and relevance. Visit Factfinder to learn more about available data.
The Census Bureau collects, defines, and maintains boundaries for over 29 different geographic areas for our purposes, but the entities are often important to other federal, state, and local agencies as well. For example, the U.S. Small Business Administration and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development use census tracts in their programs. The Census Bureau's urban areas are used by other agencies for a variety of urban and rural programs. Furthermore, agencies utilize our boundaries for incorporated places, minor civil divisions, and counties since we update and maintain these legal boundaries from year to year.
Geography is important to the Census Bureau and census geography is a key component of the data products for decision makers and data users. Without the where, it's all merely numbers.
Geography provides the framework for Census Bureau survey design, sample selection, data collection, tabulation, and dissemination.

A new RTE radio series on Irish newspapers abroad will focus on the Irish Voice and IrishCentral this coming weekend.
Home News is a new five-part radio series in which journalist and broadcaster Brian O'Connell travels the world speaking to editors and journalists in Irish publications abroad.
In the latest edition of the series, a special feature on the Irish Voice newspaper will be broadcast on RTE radio one on Saturday December 8th.
Read More: Home news – Upcoming RTE radio documentary to focus on contribution of the Irish Voice – AUDIO
In the coming episode producer O'Connell drops in on the Irish Voice's 25th anniversary, talks to emigrants for whom the paper meant a lot in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as some hardline Republicans who were protesting against the Queen's jubilee. The documentary also hears from one Irish person on the run for over two decades, and speaks with Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times journalist Jim Dwyer.
Producer Brian O'Connell said of his time in New York: "We touch on issues such as the undocumented Irish living in New York, the ways emigrants keep in touch with home more easily now and what the future may hold for papers such as The Irish Voice.
"There's also a wonderful contribution from New York Times journalist Jim Dwyer and I spent an interesting afternoon in Gaelic Park in the Bronx, meeting players and coaches."
O'Connell added: "It was fascinating to see and hear from reporters and the editor of the Irish Voice about how the role of the title has changed and how IrishCentral.com is now connecting with a really wide audience of Irish Americans and Irish in America."

Perched on a hill in northern India, Kirti Monastery overlooks a picturesque green valley carpeted with Himalayan cedars. All appears peaceful.
But the serene image belies the crisis response management happening inside, where two monks work all hours to gather news from Tibetan monks they say are under government lockdown across the border in China. Buddhist monasteries are not normally crisis communications centers, but Kirti has assumed that role in an effort to aid the monks at its Tibetan sister monastery of the same name in southwest China.
The ad hoc effort at the monastery in India shows how technology and savvy on the part of a few can circumvent China's stringent communications clampdowns. Nevertheless, "uncensored communication links from Kirti are fragile, discrete, and under constant threat of surveillance and disruption by Chinese government authorities and security forces," says Phelim Kine, senior Asia researcher at New York-based Human Rights Watch.
On March 16, just after the 52nd anniversary of Tibet's failed uprising against China in 1959, a young monk from Kirti Monastery in Amdo Ngaba, a Tibetan district of Sichuan, set himself on fire as a form of protest. Shortly after the monk's death, Chinese placed the Amdo Ngaba monastery and its approximately 2,500 monks on lockdown. Nearly four months later reports indicate that conditions remain tense.
The repression in Amdo Ngaba is so severe that in April the Dalai Lama, who relinquished his political role that same month, said in a statement: "I am very concerned that this situation if allowed to go on may become explosive with catastrophic consequences for the Tibetans in Ngaba."
What happened?
According to the monks in India, about 300 monks were taken away by Chinese authorities in April. Classes and prayers have stopped and remaining monks were forced to take "patriotic re-education" classes.
Some 400 government officials are camped out at the monastery in China, said the International Campaign for Tibet, a US-based advocacy group. Cameras and recording devices are positioned throughout. Phone calls and e-mail from Kirti Monastery in China are monitored by Chinese authorities who can detain or arrest people they deem a threat to China's control over Tibet.
Though China has not officially acknowledged the lockdown, Chinese police claim the self-immolation of the young monk who precipitated it "was a carefully planned and implemented criminal case, aimed at triggering disturbances," according to Xinhua, China's state news agency.
To quash other potential disturbances, Chinese police arrested hundreds of monks although there were no displays of violence after the self-immolation.
Local residents surrounded the monastery in Amdo Ngaba in an attempt to protect monks from being detained but were allegedly beaten by Chinese forces and attacked by police dogs. Two elderly Tibetans reportedly died in the clash.
Enter the monastery in India
Information about arrests, beatings, protests, surveillance, and police activity were conveyed along a circuitous network from Tibetan locals in China to Tibetans living in neighboring India, home to nearly 100,000 exiles.
News was passed along among Tibetans via clandestine phone calls, e-mails, and digital photos until it reached the Dharamsala branch of Kirti Monastery.
After the first piece of information made its way to them, Losang Yeshe and Kanyag Tsering, two monks at Kirti Monastery in India, became the de facto crisis communications team. They are in charge of the grim task of organizing detailed lists of arrested monks, trying to confirm names of Tibetan civilians beaten or detained while protecting monks, and liaising with human rights organizations and the media via regular e-mail updates and interviews.
Mr. Yeshe and Mr. Tsering both say they would prefer to do their prayers, attend classes, and study religious teachings. But with Kirti Monastery in crisis, the Tibetans fear for the well-being of monks and locals there. "We have no choice but to disseminate this knowledge," says Tsering through an English interpreter.
In Tibet, monasteries are esteemed institutions of Buddhist knowledge and culture. The one under crackdown in Amdo Ngaba was established in 1870 and is one of the largest monasteries on the Tibetan plateau. Now, its future appears threatened by the lockdown.
Major monasteries in Tibet once housed thousands of monks. But because of restrictions over the decades, numbers at some monasteries have dwindled to hundreds, whereas sister monasteries flourishing in India house thousands of monks today. Tibetans "fear that Chinese authorities are now seeking to weaken Kirti significantly through this systematic campaign," according to a statement from the International Campaign for Tibet.
Confirming the information the monks give them takes weeks, but Human Rights Watch says their reports are accurate.
A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry denied illegal detainment of monks and said that the monks at the monastery "enjoy a normal life and normal Buddhist activities." However, foreign journalists and tourists are barred from traveling to the monastery in Amdo Ngaba and nearby areas.
Human Rights Watch raised concerns about the crackdown, noting that it is part of a series of arrests and disappearances in recent months of dozens of China's human rights advocates, lawyers, Internet activists, and those who assert Tibetan national identity openly.
And in June the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances expressed "serious concern" about the wave of alleged enforced disappearances in China in the past few months, including of monks in the Tibet region.
"Enforced disappearance is a crime under international law. Even short-term secret detentions can qualify as enforced disappearances," the UN group said.

I am attracted by mythology and although it is not one of my forefront interests it is always there. Therefore most of the times when I came upon mythology aspects and concepts it is most likely for me to not miss that chance. One such opportunity will arise in November when Gilgamesh Press, the little sister of Morrigan Books, will release "Ishtar", a collection of stories edited by Amanda Pillar and K.V. Taylor. Not only is the mythological concept of the collection of interest for me, but also the three authors of the stories contained within the collection, three rising stars of Australian fiction, Kaaron Warren, Deborah Biancotti and Cat Sparks. Here is a presentation of "Ishtar" and the stories of the collection:
"The 5 Loves of Ishtar" by Kaaron Warren - Follow the path that the goddess Ishtar takes through the eyes of her most devoted worshippers, her washerwomen. Sharokin, Atur, Ninlil, Shamiran, Ninevah and Ashurina share in their goddess' loves, losses and triumphs, as kingdoms rise and fall in the Land of Rivers.
"And the Dead Shall Outnumber the Living" by Deborah Biancotti - In modern-day Sydney, male prostitutes are dying. Their bones have turned to paste and their bodies are jelly. As Detective Adrienne Garner investigates the deaths, she finds rumours of strange cults and old gods whose powers threaten her city and, ultimately, her world.
"The Sleeping and the Dead" by Cat Sparks - Dr. Anna remembers little of her life before the war, merely traces of the man she used to love. When three desperate travellers rekindle slumbering memories, she begins a search that takes her to Hell and beyond. A search for love and, ultimately, enlightenment.

GRAHAM � A Graham woman was sentenced to prison last week for not feeding her infant son.
Ashley Renee Mebane, 22, of East Parker Street, Graham, gave birth to the child Nov. 17, 2012. He weighed 5.5 pounds.
In early February, a doctor at Burlington Pediatrics notified DSS that the boy appeared �severely malnourished,� and weighed him at 5.25 pounds � a quarter pound less than when he was born, court documents said.
The infant was admitted to UNC Hospitals on Feb. 8 and was discharged into the care of a foster family Feb. 15 after responding well to feeding and treatment, documents said.
Mebane pleaded guilty Dec. 19 to felony negligent child abuse inflicting serious bodily injury. A transcript of her plea stated that there was no sentencing agreement.
Superior Court Judge Howard E. Manning Jr. issued an active 24- to 41-month sentence with 268 days� credit.
Mebane allegedly told officials she�d been feeding the boy regularly but that he�d stopped wetting his diapers about a week before the doctor visit.
The documents said she had a history of bipolar disorder but didn�t have a prescribed medication. According to court documents, Mebane admitted to smoking six to eight marijuana cigarettes a day, allegedly stating that she loved the drug.

One of the best kept secrets in downtown Indianapolis is our historic Art Deco salon and spa located on the second floor of the Circle Tower. Our spa is the show place of the Circle Tower Building designed in 1929 by the noted architectural firm of Rubish & Hunter. The salon operated as a men's barbershop from 1929 to 1989 under two successive owners. Then, Linda Williams and Mel Brandenburg acquired the space, updated and expanded the salon and reopened in December 1989 as Studio 2000.
In January of 2000, a major expansion and renovation was undertaken to add a complete spa and expanded salon operation. The salon carries on the Art Deco elements found throughout the building in an updated "industrial pop" atmosphere that now overlooks Monument Circle in the space once occupied by the former Del Frisco's restaurant. The spa was carefully designed to revolve around the original Art Deco interior of the barbershop now used as the "relaxation room" where our robed guests lounge between spa services.
The interior of the spa has been hailed by historians and architects as the best surviving example of an original Art Deco interior in the world. Olympic-style silver in laid figurines and ziggurats gracethe black tile walls with "Lucky Lindy" style airplanes flying through storm clouds and lightning bolts, high above each corner. From the original custom floor to the hammered metal detail on the furniture, the spa inspires creativity from the moment you walk in. We are proud to carry on a tradition of personal service in this most stimulating and timeless environment.

Installing Parallel Nsight
Parallel Nsight can be downloaded from its Developer Zone homepage.
Installing Parallel Nsight is fairly straightforward as described in the How To: … sections of the online documentation. Basically, the user downloads a host package and runs the install. Similarly, the package for the target machine is downloaded and installed. The user can select between 32- or 64-bit downloads so long as the installations are consistent between the host and target machines. Note: It is possible to create and debug 32-bit applications using 64-bit installations.
Version 1.0 of Parallel Nsight has explicit software requirements:
- Both host and target machines must be running Vista, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 operating systems. Windows XP will not work.
- Parallel Nsight will only work with Visual Studio 2008 service pack 1 or better. Parallel Nsight will not work with Visual Studio 2005 or 2010. The express version of Visual Studio 2008 does not support the plug-in model required by Parallel Nsight, so it cannot be used with Parallel Nsight.
Since Parallel Nsight is based on a remote debugging model that utilizes both a host and at least one target machine, some thought needs to be given to how the software will be installed and used.
By far the simplest and best performing configuration is to use Parallel Nsight on a dual-monitor workstation that supports a virtual machine and a graphics card like a Quadro FX 5800 that allows each operating system to directly access the GPU. With this configuration, Visual Studio builds occur on a powerful workstation, communications with the monitor process happen quickly over a virtual network, and accessing the target machine is as easy as looking at the second screen or moving the mouse seamlessly onto the target virtual machine to change application behavior.
Many users will actually utilize two separate machines, one for the host and one for the target machine. The host system must run Visual Studio so it should be powerful enough to perform the software build quickly and not bottleneck the development process. Smaller projects can probably be built on a laptop but larger projects will likely require a higher performance workstation. Similarly, the target machine should provide the capabilities envisioned for a typical application runtime environment.
Communication between host and target machines via a WiFi network link will work, but note that starting the application requires copying the executable plus any needed dlls from the host to the target machine. Some applications might also require moving data and configuration files as well. Parallel Nsight performs an incremental data move so only those files that have changed will be moved from the host to the target machine. Heavy bandwidth consumption can occur when the project is first sent to the target machine or when the entire project is rebuilt. Modified files are identified via an rsync-like mechanism to help reduce bandwidth consumption after the initial target machine setup.
Similarly, the network connecting the machines should allow the monitor process to return large amounts of data to the host in a timely fashion, which can happen when performing device queries and application trace operations. Version 1.0 of Parallel Nsight only supports tracing that begins when the application program starts and completes when the application either exits or is killed. There is no way to set software triggers to begin and end the tracing activity so very large amounts of data can be returned to the host -- especially when it takes awhile to get to interesting application behavior or when the voluminous Trace All option is selected. Host machine disk storage requirements can also be impacted.
It is important to note that the target machine cannot be controlled with Remote Desktop. Remote Desktop appears to be a natural way to work with the target computer, but it affects how applications can interact with the GPU. While the monitor program can be started under Remote Desktop, it will not be able to access the GPU.
If Parallel Nsight is to be used with applications that require user input or viewing of output, then the host and monitor machines should be in close physical proximity or accessible via a KVM. (A KVM is a switch that connects two or more computers to the same keyboard, mouse, and monitor.) Interactive graphics based applications in particular require direct access to the target machine. If the application does not require any user interactions (e.g. it performs a calculation and exits) then there is no need to have physical access to the target machine. For these applications, the monitor program can be started on target machine boot or remotely via some remote access software such as cygwin and sshd.
Configurations that utilize two or more GPUs within a single system are also possible, but they are limited to non-graphical CUDA debugging.
Table 1, taken from the developer zone hardware and software requirements page summarizes various hardware configurations along with the current software requirements.

A club owner in Ohio was sentenced to 90 days in jail and five years of community control for not paying more than $600,000 in state sales tax.
Donald Stump, owner of Lifestyles for Ladies Only, received the sentence on Tuesday in Lucas County (OH) Common Pleas Court. Stump was led away in handcuffs after the sentence, according to media reports.
A judge also ordered Stump to pay monthly amounts in back sales taxes of $611,066.23, the Toledo Blade reported. Stump's attorney had asked the judge to consider probation, but he was denied. If Stump fails to make the regularly scheduled payments, he could face up to 17 months in prison, the newspaper reported.
Last fall, Stump pleaded no contest to one count of failure to remit sales taxes and had a second charge dropped as part of a plea agreement. He was found guilty of not paying the sales taxes over a five-year period for his two Lifestyles for Ladies Only clubs in the Toledo area. Stump has involvement with other clubs in Michigan, but the allegations were for only the two Toledo-area clubs, according to the newspaper.

Georgia State Fair, Macon, 1886-1960
- Coverage Dates: 1886-1960
The Georgia State Fair, Macon, 1886-1960 online collection consists of 151 black-and-white photographs, and four advertising fliers, from the Georgia State Fair records held by the Middle Georgia Archives at the Macon-Bibb County Public Libraries. These photographs document the evolution of the state fair in Macon from 1886 until 1960. A group portrait of the executive committee of the Georgia State Agricultural Society is the earliest piece in the collection. The majority of the photographs depict county agricultural exhibits whose function was to promote a variety of farm produce and homemade items. These displays include cotton, seeds, vegetables, preserved food, clothes, quilts, furniture, and more. Exhibits from the early 1940s are of interest due to the appearance of slogans supporting the World War II home front effort. One notable picture during this era shows a demonstration of a community canning project. Displays for agricultural associations and state government agencies, such as the Highway Department and the Fish and Game Commission, can also be seen in this collection. Other photographs capture fair culture beyond the exhibitions: 4-H clubs, farm machinery, livestock judging, amusement rides, the midway, side shows, food booths, and parades. Macon mayor B. F. Merritt appears in several photographs along with other notable Macon citizens. Former Georgia governor Marvin Griffin is also pictured.
The Georgia State Fair, Macon, 1886-1960 is a project of the Digital Library of Georgia in association with the Middle Georgia Archives as part of Georgia HomePLACE. The project is supported with federal LSTA funds administered by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Georgia Public Library Service, a unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia.

Chicago, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Cubs starter Travis Wood tossed seven stellar innings and went 2-for-3 at the dish with a home run and four RBI to lead Chicago to a 5-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks to kick off a four- game series from Wrigley Field. Wood (1-2), who allowed one run on six hits while striking out nine, is not your average pitcher. He has now homered in all five of his major league seasons and is the only active pitcher with more than one game with four-plus RBI. He has seven career home runs. Welington Castillo and Ryan Kalish each had two hits for Chicago, which has won two of its last three games. Bronson Arroyo (1-2) surrendered all five runs on eight hits for Arizona in 5 1/3 innings to absorb the loss. Mark Trumbo went yard in the defeat. Starlin Castro singled with one away in the bottom of the second inning and scored two batters later on Castillo's bloop single to right. Kalish followed with a single to put two on for Wood, who crushed a no-doubter over the wall in left for a 4-0 Chicago lead. Wood made it 5-0 with an RBI double to the warning track in his next at-bat in the fourth. Wood struck out at least one batter in every inning besides the third and he didn't allow an Arizona baserunner to reach third base until the seventh. After Cody Ross struck out to start the seventh, Trumbo took Wood deep for his seventh homer of the season. Miguel Montero followed with a double and moved to third on Tony Campana's groundout, but pinch-hitter Cliff Pennington popped up to Anthony Rizzo in foul territory to end the threat. Hector Rondon and Pedro Strop each pitched scoreless innings of relief for the Cubs. Game Notes The game was delayed for an hour and one minute due to rain ... Arizona went 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position, leaving seven men on base ... Paul Goldschmidt went 3-for-4 for the D'Backs.

- 1 pound lean pork shoulder, in 1 piece
- 1/2 chicken, cut into pieces
- 1 onion, quartered, plus 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 5 stems cilantro, plus more for garnishing
- 4 ounces hulled untoasted pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 pound fresh tomatillos
- 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 fresh hot chile, such as Serrano or jalapeno, stem removed and coarsely chopped
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lard or vegetable oil
- Salt
- 2 (29-ounce) cans hominy, drained
- Sour cream
- Diced red onion
- Dried oregano and/or finely chopped cilantro leaves
- Ripe avocados, cubed
- Fried pork rinds, crumbled
- Fried corn tortilla strips
- Lime wedges
- In a large soup pot put 3 quarts of water, the pork shoulder, chicken, quartered onion, smashed garlic, and cilantro stems and bring to a boil. Skim any foam that rises to the surface, partially cover the pot, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the pork is very tender and the stock is flavorful.
- While the meat is cooking, heat a small skillet over medium low heat. Add the pumpkin seeds and cook, stirring constantly, until all of the seeds have popped and turned golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.
- Place the tomatillos in a small saucepan and add enough water to cover by 1-inch. Add 1 teaspoon of the salt and cook over medium heat until the tomatillos are tender, about 10 minutes. Strain tomatillos and discard the cooking liquid. Place the tomatillos in the jar of a blender along with the pumpkin seeds, green chile, and chopped onion.. Add 1/3 cup of the pork cooking liquid and blend until very smooth. Strain through a medium-mesh sieve and discard the solids.
- In a skillet over medium high heat, add the oil. When hot, add the puree and cook, stirring constantly, for about 7 minutes, or until the color has darkened and the mixture has thickened considerably. Remove from the heat.
- When the pork is very tender, strain the stock. Set the meat and chicken aside. Discard other solids. Return the stock to the soup pot, add the tomatillo-pumpkin seed mixture and the hominy and return to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 1 hour, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened and flavorful. When the meat and chicken are cool enough to handle, discard any bones and shred into bite size pieces. Add the meat to the soup pot and season with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Serve the pozole in shallow bowls, and allow guests to garnish their soup with condiments of their own choosing.

Matthews said Republicans "have a right to fear" seeing a "majority Latino population" ; challenged Goodman: "Do you live in a Mexican neighborhood?"
Chris Matthews claimed that House Republicans who recently passed a bill that would apparently criminalize undocumented immigrants, their employers, and those who provide aid to them "have a right to fear" a "cultural change" that would result in their home states and towns "becom[ing] overwhelmingly Mexican."
On the March 30 edition of MSNBC's Hardball, host Chris Matthews claimed that House Republicans who recently passed a bill that would apparently criminalize undocumented immigrants, their employers, and those who provide aid to them "have a right to fear" a "cultural change" that would result in their home states and towns "becom[ing] overwhelmingly Mexican." Matthews was responding to a suggestion by guest Amy Goodman that "the Republicans who passed the House bill" are "afraid" that the United States will soon have "a majority Latino population." After Goodman -- the host of the nationally syndicated radio program Democracy Now -- remarked that "I think about the United States as a country of immigrants" and that there "is no reason to stop that tradition now," Matthews challenged, "Do you live in a Mexican neighborhood?"
Matthews later suggested that "90 percent of this country" agrees with the "viewpoint" that "I didn't move to Mexico; Mexico moved to me, and I'm complaining about it." He added: "If these were northern Europeans pouring across the border, nobody would care."
From the March 30 edition of MSNBC's Hardball, which also featured conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt:
GOODMAN: Chris, I think we have to have a comprehensive, humane immigration policy. But I think right now, what the Republicans who passed the House bill, for example, are afraid of -- they're afraid of the fact that in a couple dozen years, we're going to see a majority Latino population in Arizona --
HEWITT: That's nonsense.
GOODMAN: -- in Texas, in Florida, in New Mexico.
HEWITT: They're afraid of a dirty bomb.
MATTHEWS: But why shouldn't they -- why shouldn't they fear that?
GOODMAN: And that's why the Republicans are so desperate they want to build a fence.
MATTHEWS: Wait a minute, why shouldn't they fear that? They have a right to fear that. Cultural change is not something any society accepts easily, or even with any kind of positive feelings about it. Why would anybody accept a cultural change in their own state?
MATTHEWS: I want Amy to answer this question. Why is it wrong of anybody to say I don't want the town I grew up in to become overwhelmingly Mexican? Why is that wrong? You may not share that view, but why is that wrong?
GOODMAN: I guess I think about the United States as a country of immigrants, of people --
MATTHEWS: Of course!
GOODMAN: -- who have come here for refuge all over the world, and there is no reason to stop that tradition now. It only enhances what this country could represent. I am not saying that anyone at any time should be able to come over the border. I'm saying we have to have a comprehensive discussion about this that is not led by punitive measures that criminalize human beings.
MATTHEWS: Do you live in a Mexican neighborhood?
GOODMAN: I live in an integrated neighborhood of many different people.
MATTHEWS: No, I'm asking a particular question. Now, let me ask you this question, because a lot people in small towns in California grew up in a town, all of a sudden it's going from 20 percent Hispanic and nobody complained -- it probably went to 30 percent, but when it becomes 70 and 80 percent or over 50, they say, "Wait a minute, I didn't move to Mexico; Mexico moved to me, and I'm complaining about it."
Now, that's their point of view. It's not my point view necessarily, but that's a point of view that apparently is reflective of about 90 percent of this country, and certainly 90 percent of the Republican Party.
HEWITT: No, that's not true. Chris, that's not true. I don't believe that. I absolutely do not believe that. The culture issue is not the issue. It's a security issue. I live in Southern California.
MATTHEWS: It's a security issue?
HEWITT: Santa Ana is the largest --
MATTHEWS: But Amy's right, they don't cause the terrorism.
HEWITT: No, it is the largest concentration of Mexicans living outside of Mexico is in Santa Ana. I live five miles from there; it does not bother me in the least. It does not bother most Californians. It's always-- California is a mixed society, majority-minority society. That's not the issue.
The issue is the stress on social services. It's wildly expensive. Health care is extremely expensive. But more importantly, I think this immigration debate is being driven by the vast majority of Americans and certainly in the Republican Party by a concern that a dirty bomb is going to come over that border, and then it will be too late to change it, and then the wall will go up. We can stop that.
MATTHEWS: I disagree. I think -- I think it's ethnic, I think it has to do with the change in cultural realities of this town like Watsonville in California that overnight changed completely, and the people don't want that kind of change.
HEWITT: (inaudible) the Central Valley, I just drove through it, those vegetables have been picked for decades by Latinos. It's not the culture issue.
MATTHEWS: I disagree.
HEWITT: It's the economy issue, and it's the --
MATTHEWS: If these were northern Europeans pouring across the border, nobody would care.
Anyway, thank you, Amy Goodman. Thank you, Hugh Hewitt. We all disagree, I guess.

What's A Guy To Do?
What's a guy to do? Surrounded as he is on all sides by the raging fires of overreaction and inequity. Hanging on to the last remaining vestiges of dignity as his freedoms are curtailed. What kind of a world do we live in where it's become impossible to approach within a mile of a woman without your motives being questioned? And what of the shrill rhetoric of feminists vituperously scribbling their poisonous "analyses" in Salon, Atlantic or worse, long form in the New Yorker?
Yes ma'am (and sir), this world is now officially unjust to men. Good, honest men merely looking to engage in their harmless backroom chatter and hidden stares. What's so wrong about that?
Can't even enjoy a game of cricket anymore without someone screaming about the "male gaze" and sexualization of sport. With respect, this doesn't just happen in the IPL. All major sporting events in the US include their fair share of leggy, busty, beautiful women indulging in physical or verbal calisthenics in front of the camera. Of course, some of them actually know about the sport, which is a bonus! But why judge the women who are there to provide a pleasing foil to the terse and mostly ridiculous commentary from the windbags masquerading as "experts"? Would I rather hear two more minutes of inanities from Sidhu instead of an unrelated but very pleasing blither from the sexy Rochelle Rao? If you have a problem with it, I suggest you change the channel. This was a free country the last time I checked. (BTW, I just stared at that dining chair for a good two minutes. Am I objectifying it or demeaning its role in any way? No, I'm admiring it. Period.)
Boss, it's become fucking impossible for men to even venture out anymore. Everywhere we go we're met with suspicious looks. Girls won't even give us a chance. They immediately call the police to have us beaten up or summon those male relatives who haven't been beaten up yet by other policemen for straying close to girls. It's a jungle out there. All these incidents of "sexual violence" against women have been trumped up by a biased media looking to make an issue out of trivialities. Granted, there was a very bad rape in Delhi but now it appears that anyone with a penis is a rapist! What kind of a country do we live in?! We're making the Taliban look like Club Med operators.
Let's leave the struggles of the common man aside for a moment. Even the frikkin PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES, the most POWERFUL MAN in the WORLD, can't share a compliment without being assaulted by the shrill cries of "SEXIST"!!! Pray, do tell, what's so sexist about a harmless and FACTUALLY CORRECT (verified after a quick tour of Google image search) statement about the physical beauty of Ms Kamala Harris? Umm, yes so she's an attorney general and is another example of women breaking the glass ceiling yada yada but are we to believe she doesn't use a mirror? Does she not feel flattered when someone compliments her beauty? Some know-it-alls tell me that a person's identity is the sum total of many different aspects of his or her life. That their role at work is an integral part of this identity. I've been told that objectifying such an important aspect of one's identity with physical attributes invariably demeans and trivializes those
achievements (I meant becoming attorney general, not being hot). Some folks have even shared research with me which proves that referring to a woman's physical attributes is almost always construed negatively with respect to her professional role. Wow. Mountain out of a molehill much? Look at Jon Hamm, who's the relentless target of people curious about where his rather sizeable hamm is languishing at any given moment. Does he let it affect him? NO!
(Uhh what? He has a problem with it? Sshh! Get lost, I'm in the middle of something!)
Perhaps President Obama should stick to complimenting inanimate drones on their wing sizes and missile capacity.
I can't enjoy sport, I can't ogle women in public office but I can read blogs without such interference. Thank god for stuff like the "10 hottest bloggers" restoring sanity to a crazed world. Because it's super important for me to know that the person scribbling those profundities is also easy on the eyes. Gives it that extra oomph and persuasiveness, wot? The internet remains the last bastion of hope in this affair.
These little oases notwithstanding, it's been a frustrating experience. For a while, I even tried subscribing to the growing point of view that women have it bad. That ordinary men like me should step up, make ourselves and others aware of the subtle sexism that persists (sometimes unwittingly) in our daily actions and BE THE CHANGE. But then I've been told I'm not a woman who faces this everyday so perhaps it's best not to shout impassioned inanities from an armchair.
That's the final nail in the coffin. You won't let us be near you. You won't let us be with you. What the fuck do you want us to do? Shrivel up and end our lives? NO! Today, we must pledge to take our manhood back in the name of all that's normal, acceptable within a patriarchal society and held sacred by mildly sexist religious texts. Today, we pledge to be men once again, proud of our natural (but suitably constrained depending on social situation) urges and physical strength bestowed upon us that's regrettably useless when birthing a child.
What the world needs more of is Menism. Who's with me?

Featured review of the month.
"JR Gas & Water - offered an extremely professional yet very friendly approach to our hot water issue. We rang our usual plumber to replace and install a new hot water system on a Saturday morning but he couldn't help us. After a 'Google' search of our local area JR popped up with a 5 star rating. Upon speaking with Jarred, on the first phone call to him, getting an immediate quote, giving the go-ahead for the job, everything was completed within 3 hours. Jarred is a polite, extremely efficient and professional tradesman. As well as a kind person. Now that a week has passed, everything is working properly, and our new Rheem Hot Water System looks perfect and neat in it's new home. We also have a new Plumber. Thanks for your conscientious and prompt service."

"What I want to do is explain how technology is currently impacting consumers," Neesha Hathi, senior vice president of advisor technology solutions with Charles Schwab and Co. laid out in a tall order at the outset of an interview with AdvisorOne on Thursday at MarketCounsel's Member Summit 2012 in Las Vegas.
Technology today is cheap, accessible, nimble and designed specifically for RIAs, Hathi (left) said. This represents an incredible opportunity for advisors, but they must focus in on three areas: the CRM, the cloud and mobility.
The metaphor she used was the human body, with the CRM as the brain, the cloud as the muscle and mobility as the personality.
"The CRM is the information management," she explains further. "The cloud is the enabling technology, which means it can be used in different ways, and mobility is changing how the advisor can interact with clients."
The mobility that's now available through the use of social media and other tools has "raised the expectation levels for clients as to what they expect from advisors."
"We spend a great deal of our time helping advisors to realize a 'know me' experience for their clients," Hathi added. "What I mean is that the user experience should be all about the client, and not the advisor. With all they must deal with on a day-to-day basis, advisors rightly ask, 'How do I do this?'"
She then cited a number of eye-opening statistics to illustrate how advisors are using technology, and how technology is changing the way they do business.
- More smartphones than personal computers were shipped last year.
- 50% of advisors in the United States use a tablet device, and 86% of them use an iPad.
- 93% of online adults who have a financial advisor have a social networking account.
- 25% of online adults have an interest in using their mobile device "as the main channel for their personal financial life."
- The number of small businesses that use cloud computing will triple over the next three years.
"Technology affects advisors in more than just the obvious ways," she said. "For instance, how will firms attract younger talent? Most young people will just expect firms to utilize tablets. So the effects are all-encompassing."
The continued movement toward a paperless industry was another trend Hathi cited.
"Just a few years ago, advisors would throw up roadblocks to going paperless by saying their clients still wanted paper statements. Today, they tell their clients they are going paperless, and to let them know if they still want hard copies. That opt-out versus opt-in has been huge for the movement to paperless."

A 20-year-old man who died in the hospital after being struck by lightning at Venice Beach on Sunday has been identified, officials said. Seven other beachgoers were also hospitalized, including one with critical injuries.
- Updates: Download Our App
Nick Fagnano, of Los Angeles, died at Marina Del Rey Hospital, according to information provided from the hospital to the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office.
U.S. & World
The victims were in or near the water next to the pier when the bolts touched down about 2:20 p.m., the Los Angeles Fire Department said.
"All of a sudden it was the loudest thunder I've ever heard. It was like a scene out of 'Jaws.' All the mothers were going into grab their kids to drag them out of the water," said witness Joe Doro.
Thirteen people who were all in or near the water when the bolts touched down were checked out by firefighters at the scene. Eight of them were taken to hospitals, including seven adults and a 15-year-old, the LAFD said.
A swimmer who was released from the hospital Sunday night said he doesn't remember the lightning strike, but recalls being rescued by friends from the water after suddenly losing consciousness.
"The next thing you know I was struggling to get my head back above the water," said the swimmer, who identified himself only as Paul. "Thank God they were brave enough to just jump in and not hesitate."
"I understand one person didn't make it. I just want to say that my thoughts go out to that person's family," Paul added.
A video taken at the scene shows the frantic moments when rescuers pulled another person who appeared to be unconscious out of the water.
A beachgoer who was about 50 yards away from the pier said he felt a jolt of electricity from his feet to the top of his head when the lightning struck.
"We all got up off the ground, and we were just amazed by what had happened," Eric Amparan said. "We saw some commotion by the waterline, and another person was struck by the lightning, and he was unconscious lying on the beach. The lifeguards were already there doing CPR on him."
Witnesses said the clap of thunder sounded like an explosion.
"A flash and simultaneously the loudest clap of thunder I've ever heard in my life, because it was so close. I thought it was like a bomb, almost," said witness Ned Walker.
On Santa Catalina Island, a 57-year-old man who was on an Avalon golf course was also struck by lightning. He was hospitalized in stable condition, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said. He was expected to survive.
In Redondo Beach, a home and car parked in its driveway in the 1600 block of Haynes Lane were damaged by a bolt of lightning. No one there was hurt.
As of 11 p.m. Sunday, hundreds of Southern California Edison customers in Redondo Beach were without power. The utility said it hopes to have power restored by 6 a.m. Monday.
The lightning strikes occurred as a thunderstorm hit the island, causing minor flooding and setting two small fires in the brushy backcountry that were quickly doused.
Monsoon conditions moving in from Arizona were expected to bring small amounts of rain -- up to a quarter-inch -- all throughout Los Angeles County through the evening, according to David Sweet, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard.
"There is that potential for brief heavy amounts," Sweet said of the rain. "In most places it will be small."
In Avalon, about two-thirds of an inch was recorded in about 30 minutes, weather officials said. One man was apparently injured in a lightning strike and minor flooding reported in the area, according to wire reports.
After a cloudy night, the sun was expected to be out again Monday. Temperatures were expected in the mid to upper 70s inland areas and 80s and 90s inland.
Weather officials said the rainfall was too localized to make any dent in the state's ongoing drought crisis.
Kate Larsen and Gadi Schwartz contributed to this report.

Maybe the awesomely huge white sofa snaking along the whole of the wall of the basement?

What could be better for our booze challenge?

Head towards it and you'll see a paved plaza-type area. Near the base of the Tower you will see a small newsagent kiosk and a Costa, to the left of these (if facing the tower) are The Rack & Tenter, then Prets. Head towards Prets into a covered walkway at the base of City point. This is where the Cuban bar is. We'll be in the basement.

Hawaii Senate Passes Gay Marriage Bill
The Hawaii state Senate has passed a bill legalizing gay marriage, putting the islands a signature away from becoming a same-sex wedding destination.
Legislators passed the bill Tuesday during a special session, and Gov. Neil Abercrombie has said he will sign it.
The measure will allow thousands of gay couples living in Hawaii and even more tourists to marry in the state starting Dec. 2.
An estimate from a University of Hawaii researcher says the law will boost tourism by $217 million over the next three years.
Senators passed the bill 19-4 with two lawmakers excused. The chamber took up the bill a second time because of changes made in the House, where the bill was amended and eventually passed.
