The Game Of Thrones cast "had enough" of filming the last season as it "seemed to be designed to break" them, according to Kit Harington.
Kit and his co-stars, including Emilia Clarke, Lena Headey, Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner, finished filming the six-episode eighth and final season of the TV fantasy in the middle of last year, ahead of the show's premiere in April. And in a new interview with GQ Australia, the British actor admitted he was glad to reach the end because the series was gruelling to film.
"The last season of Thrones, seemed to be designed to break us. Everyone was broken at the end," he said. "I don't know if we were crying because we were sad it was ending or if we were crying because it was so f—ing tiring. We were sleep deprived. It was like it was designed to make you think, Right, I'm f—ing sick of this.
"I remember everyone walking around towards the end going, 'I've had enough now. I love this, it's been the best thing in my life, I'll miss it one day – but I'm done.'"
The 32-year-old, who has already ruled out returning to his character Jon Snow in any of the planned spinoffs, said he was most looking forward to being able to stay at home for an extended period of time, rather than having to constantly travel for work.
While he is grateful for the show for launching his career, he is most thankful for being introduced to his wife Rose Leslie, who played Snow's love interest Ygritte. They married last year, and he likes the fact any children they may have will be able to witness the beginnings of their relationship.
"A lot of people meet their other halves at work. Our work just happened to be this iconic TV show…it dawned on me, recently, and I have no idea if we will, but say me and Rose do have children," he gushed. "They'll know. They'll be able to see the genesis of their parents getting together. Which is quite a wonderful thought, really."

The MIT Museum shows an exhibit of the art and science of holography with The Jeweled Net: Views of Contemporary Holography. The exhibition created in conjunction with the 9th International Symposium on Display Holography, co-sponsored by the MIT Museum and the MIT Media Lab. Over 20 holograms created by international artists, as well as several from the MIT Museum collections, will be on display, and will remain open to the public through September 28, 2013.
The exhibition presents a rare opportunity to view selected works from the world-wide community of practicing display holographers. The MIT Museum holds the world's largest and most comprehensive collection of holograms and regularly invites artists to showcase new work at the Museum. "This new exhibition is an example of our expanded commitment to support public engagement with practicing artists through exhibitions and programs," says Seth Riskin, who will give talks and tours throughout the coming year in his role as the MIT Museum's Manager of Emerging Technologies and Holography/Spatial Imaging Initiatives.
The Jeweled Net: Views of Contemporary Holography surveys state-of-the-art display holography, and showcases the artistic and technical merit of individual works of art. Selected by a panel of experts, the holograms on display represent artists from Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, and the US. Holography has given birth to a new field of science during the past six decades, and as well, to a group of 'pioneers' who have found a new media upon which human vision in three dimensions is transferred. The rarity of holograms, their elegance, and the surprise they give to viewers leads many to question what it is that they are really seeing.
"A hologram" according to Riskin, "represents how the human brain, and light information interact to create the experience of three-dimensional space. Holography represents deeper technological access into light's capacity as an image and information carrier."
Works on display will include a piece originally commissioned the Museum of Art and Design in New York titled My Deep Sea Adventure by Inaki Beguiristain of the United Kingdom; Anatomy Head, a multi-exposure HOE (Holographic Optical Elements) embedded between glass and mirror, created by Michael Bleyenberg of Germany; and a dichromate reflection hologram, Speed of Shadows by Sally Weber of Texas, and SonShang by Dieter Jung of Germany.
The International Symposium on Display Holography gathers people together to exchange information, share work, and engender a sense of community among the world's practitioners of holography. The Symposium highlights holograms that synthesize the field's history, and its developments in the areas of education, art, science, and economic development. Additional exhibition space will be provided at the MIT Media Lab during the Symposium, June 26-29, 2012 for attendees to share their work in a more informal, uncurated setting. Co-chaired by Seth Riskin and Michael Bove, the Symposium is presented by the MIT Museum and the MIT Media Lab.

Kit Review – Maniacal Labs Epoch Clock
32-bit, arduino, binary, clock, DS1307, epoch, epoch time, kit, kit review, labs, Linux, maniacal, Real-time clock, review, time, tronixstuff, unix Commenti disabilitati su Kit Review – Maniacal Labs Epoch Clock
The subject of our latest kit review is the "Epoch Clock" from Maniacal Labs, a new organisation started by three young lads with some interesting ideas. Regular readers will know we love a clock – so when the opportunity came to review this one, we couldn't say no.
At this point you may be thinking "what is Epoch time anyway?". Good question! It is the number of seconds elapsed since the first of January, 1970 (UTC) – and used by Unix-based computers as the start of their time universe. (For more on the theory of Epoch time, check out Wikipedia). For example - 1379226077 Epoch time is Sun, 15 Sep 2013 06:21:17 GMT. That's a lot of seconds. If you're curious, you can do more calculations with the EpochTime website.
Moving forward, this clock kit will show Epoch time in full 32-bit binary glory, using a DS1307 real-time clock IC (with backup battery) and is controlled with an ATmega328P-PU – so you can modify the code easily with the Arduino IDE or WinAVR (etc).
The creators have spent a lot of time on not only the packaging and out-of-box-experience, but also the documentation and setup guide – so as long as you're fine with simple through-hole soldering the kit will not present any challenges. The kit arrives in a sturdy box:
… with well packaged components. Everything is included for the finished product, as well as IC sockets, the RTC backup battery and a USB cable so you can power the clock from a USB hub:
The PCB is a good thickness, and has a clear silk-screen and solder mask:
Construction is simple, just follow the step-by-step instructions. Starting with the USB socket for power:
… then the resistors:
… the LEDs:
… all 32 of them. Note that the LEDs don't sit flush with the PCB, so a little effort is required to keep them aligned:
Then the rest of the components just fit as expected. I've also added the included header pins for an FTDI programming cable and ICSP to keep my options open:
Then simply fit the battery, insert the ICs and you're done:
Using the clock
The microcontroller is pre-programmed, so you can use the clock straight away. You will however need to set the time first. To make this incredibly easy, there is a special web page that displays the current time and Epoch time, which steps you through the process of setting the time using the buttons.
Or with some code available on the kit github page and a programming cable, you can automatically sync it to the clock. Once setup, the battery will keep the current time in the RTC nicely. The clock is powered by 5V, which is easily supplied with the included USB cable, or you can always hack in your own feed.
So what does Epoch time in 32-bit binary look like? Here's a short video of the clock in action:
Reading the time requires converting the binary number displayed with the LEDs back to a decimal number – which is of course the Epoch count of seconds since 1/1/1970. Math teachers will love this thing.
But wait, there's more!
If you get tired of the blinking, there's a test function which is enabled by holding down both buttons for a second, which turns the Epoch Clock into a nifty Larson Scanner:
To create your own sketches or examine the design files in more detail, it's all on the clock github page. From a hardware perspective you have an ATmega328P-PU development board with a DS1307 battery-backed real-time clock – with 32 LEDs. So you could also create your own kind of clock or other multi-LED blinking project without too much effort. Review the EpochClockSchematic (.pdf) to examine this in more detail.
I really enjoyed this kit – it was easy to assemble, I learned something new and frankly the blinking LEDs can be quite soothing. The clock would make a great for a conversation-starter in the office, or would make an ideal gift for any Sheldon Cooper-types you might be associated with. Or have competitions to see who can convert the display to normal time. After shots.
Nevertheless it's a fun and imaginative piece of kit, fully Open Hardware-compliant – and if you've made it this far – get some and have fun. Full-sized images are on flickr. Interested in Arduino? Check out my new book "Arduino Workshop" from No Starch Press.

B.C. wine of the week
Quails' Gate Late Harvest Totally Botrytis Affected Optima 2017, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
Optima is hardly a household name in B.C., but this Quails' Gate label never seems to disappoint from its rich ginger, apricot, floral nose to its honey, ginger spicy lime/apricot fruit. The nose is weightier than this juicy dessert wine presents as it dances across the palate with freshness and bright acidity. Impressive, mouth-filling and more complex it's finished under screwcap making it a great candidate for the cellar where it should sleep effortlessly for years. Serve with a homemade peach cobbler.
Wine for the cellar
Antinori Pian delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino 2013, Tuscany, Italy
Pian comes off one of the warmest sites in Brunello that can be a blessing in most years. The vineyard is lovingly tended by Fabio Ratto, and the wine is consistently ripe. Pian delle Vigne is quietly aged in 3,000 to 8,000-litre oak casks long free of any oak influence. Its clay over limestone soil is riddled with small stones yielding: fruit purity, spice on the nose and bright floral tones mixed with eucalyptus, black cherry, plum and licorice flavours. The attack is generous, almost weighty, with impressive fine-grained tannins and more dark plum, licorice and raspberry jam in the long and silky aftertaste flecked with brown spice. A perfect blend of the old and the new that will easily cellar thorough 2023 and beyond.

Rib-Sticking Polish Food Done Right at Smak Tak
Darkness had fallen by 5:30. Snow was blanketing the city with the evil intent of becoming black crusty ice a few days later. How do you fight back against the polar vortex under such conditions? Well, how do you think your grandmother did in the old country? She made a Polish vortex of rib-sticking food, that's how, to fight the cold from the inside. We bundled ourselves into the sled, grabbed a shotgun in case we were followed up Elston by wolves, and set off for the next best thing to Grandma's house: Smak Tak.
As a genre, Polish restaurants tend to fall into the category of "All pretty much the same," but you can find reasons to regard Smak Tak on the far northwest side as the best of the bunch—Michelin did, giving it the only Bib Gourmand to go to one. First of all, it's got a cozy hunting lodge atmosphere that makes it feel like a place that might have been around for 60 years, though it's only a little more than a decade old. (The rustic look marks it as a Gorale establishment, the Polish Highlanders from the mountains.) The hospitality of owner Piotr Lakomy is pleasant if a bit diffident, in an Eastern European way that may involve Polish TV playing loudly through your meal.
But the main thing is just that the food is all nicely handcrafted—reportedly by Lakomy's mother-in-law, though the only time I've seen who's working back there was when it was on Check, Please!. It starts with soup, sweet and sour borsch (no T at the end) or a well-balanced mushroom soup with orzo-like pasta.
The menu ranges over classic Polish, modern Polish (kind of generic things like chicken kababs), and some vaguely American things (baby back ribs). You want to stick with the first category. The fluffy pierogi rival any dumpling in Chinatown (I like sauerkraut-mushroom and potato cheese; you can mix and match). The crispy potato pancakes are likewise a contender for best in town; next time I go somewhere for a corned beef sandwich I may arrive with these in my back pocket.
Meat dishes tend to come in large and extra large; one that's satisfying but not quite as heavy as some is the hunter's stew, which mixes smoky veal and sausage with sauerkraut. If heaviness is no object, go straight to the Hungarian style pancake, which wraps a full serving of hearty goulash in a potato pancake the size of a Skoda hubcap. With a hearty enough appetite, you'll finish the leftovers on only the second night. One taste I haven't acquired is for the gummy, pale Silesian dumplings; they always remind me of P.G. Wodehouse's crack: "If this is Upper Silesia, just imagine what Lower Silesia must be like!"
Even as Chicago must be the capital of Polish food in America, it's not a cuisine that Chicagoans pay much attention to—compared to Mexican, say. But it has its place and that place is in your tummy on a snowy evening. While I was there shooting (and eating) these pictures, a Korean extended family came in and occupied both the bar and a table. They knew the score on what you eat on a cold night in Chicago.

Two foreign Red Cross personnel temporarily removed after staff threatened by naked locals armed with knives
(Updates with Red Cross saying international staff temporarily removed; adds MSF comment)
DAKAR (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - The Red Cross said it had temporarily removed international staff from its Ebola operation in southeast Guinea, where an epidemic of the virus has killed hundreds of people, after staff members were threatened by a group of naked locals armed with knives.
The incident in Gueckedou, about 650 kms (403 miles) southeast of the capital Conakry, is the latest in a series of attacks against international health workers who have been accused of bringing the disease to Guinea.
A Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) centre in nearby Macenta was attacked by youths two months ago. In the past two weeks an MSF car with staff inside it had been pelted with stones by young men, the medical charity said.
The outbreak of the deadly disease in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone is the largest and deadliest ever, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), which has reported 467 deaths from 759 known cases since February.
"Locals wielding knives surrounded a marked Red Cross vehicle. We've suspended operations for safety reasons. I imagine this won't be the last time this happens," a Red Cross official said, adding that the attackers were naked.
The Red Cross, which has been helping to identify potential cases of Ebola in Guinea, later said only international staff were removed and that operations had continued.
"We removed two international staff from Gueckedou, but they will return to work soon. Local staff and volunteers that live in the area remained," said Benoit Carpentier, senior public communications officer for the International Federation of the Red Cross in Geneva.
Marc Poncin, MSF's emergency coordinator in Guinea, said his staff faced constant intimidation from the locals.
"Young men stand around the car with sticks and scream that you're not welcome, and there'll be trouble," Poncin told Thomson Reuters Foundation. "We are scared, and if you're scared, you cannot put in place the measures to control the epidemic. You can't do proper burials, or find suspected cases."
The withdrawal of the Red Cross's international staff in Guinea came on the eve of a meeting in Ghana on Wednesday of 11 health ministers from West Africa to discuss how to stop the spread of the virus.
The outbreak in West Africa has left some of the world's poorest states, with porous borders and weak health systems undermined by war and misrule, grappling with one of the most lethal and contagious diseases on the planet.
The WHO said one of the major challenges to stopping the spread of the virus was cultural practices in rural communities where victims are buried according to traditional beliefs.
Ebola is spread through contact with infected tissues or body fluids, and kills up to 90 percent of those infected, with victims displaying flu-like symptoms before progressing to internal and external bleeding. There is no cure or vaccine.
With black magic and traditional medicine commonplace in West Africa, one text message circulating in the town of Gueckedou explains how a mixture of hot chocolate, Nescafe, sugar and lemon are the cure for Ebola.
Dan Epstein, a WHO spokesman, said it was a challenge to get public health officials to the communities where Ebola is being transmitted and deliver the appropriate messages.
"(We have to) teach people how to report Ebola cases, how to handle them, how to be safe if you are burying somebody who has Ebola and how to get people to report and stop transmitting Ebola," he said.

Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission
Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, 130 S.Ct. 876 (Jan. 21, 2010), is a landmark decision from the United States Supreme Court. It overturns significant parts of the McCain-Feingold Act restricting campaign finance contributions, by holding that it violates the First Amendment. This decision ends the monopoly on political influence enjoyed by the liberal media, by granting to other corporations the same unlimited political spending rights that the media already have—which is why liberals deplore this ruling.
The major impact of the decision is simply this: corporations may now spend unlimited amounts in favor or against a candidate, as long as the expenditure is independent of the campaign and not a donation to the campaign. Wal-Mart could spend $100 million directly to defeat a pro-union candidate. Unions are also allowed to spend unlimited amounts.
This was the decision singled out for criticism by President Barack Obama in an unprecedented manner during his State of the Union address in January 2010, which created an awkward moment as the U.S. Supreme Court Justices sat silently, as is tradition, despite the chastising. Justice Samuel Alito was reportedly observed mouthing disagreement with Obama's criticism.
In 2008, Citizens United produced a television documentary attacking Hillary Clinton, then a candidate for President. It wanted to pay a video on demand service to make the documentary available during the primary election season; however, this was considered illegal under the McCain-Feingold campaign finance act. The group sued, arguing both that McCain-Feingold does not apply to video-on-demand services and that McCain-Feingold is unconstitutional.[1]
The Supreme Court agreed to an unusually early fall sitting so it could decide the case before the 2010 primary elections, and after much anticipation the Court released its 5-4 decision on January 21, 2010.[2]
Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the opinion of the court, overturning the broad corporate financing ban but upholding limited disclosure requirements.[3]
|When government seeks to use its full power, including the criminal law, to command where a person may get his or her information or what distrusted source he or she may not hear, it uses censorship to control thought.
Justice Kennedy concluded his opinion the Court with the following:
|When word concerning the plot of the movie Mr. Smith Goes to Washington reached the circles of Government, some officials sought, by persuasion, to discourage its distribution. See Smoodin, "Compulsory" Viewing for Every Citizen: Mr. Smith and the Rhetoric of Reception, 35 Cinema Journal 3, 19, and n. 52 (Winter 1996) (citing Mr. Smith Riles Washington, Time, Oct. 30, 1939, p. 49); Nugent, Capra's Capitol Offense, N. Y. Times, Oct. 29, 1939, p. X5. Under Austin, though, officials could have done more than discourage its distribution -- they could have banned the film. After all, it, like Hillary, was speech funded by a corporation that was critical of Members of Congress. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington may be fiction and caricature; but fiction and caricature can be a powerful force. ...
|Some members of the public might consider Hillary to be insightful and instructive; some might find it to be neither high art nor a fair discussion on how to set the Nation's course; still others simply might suspend judgment on these points but decide to think more about issues and candidates. Those choices and assessments, however, are not for the Government to make. "The First Amendment underwrites the freedom to experiment and to create in the realm of thought and speech. Citizens must be free to use new forms, and new forums, for the expression of ideas. The civic discourse belongs to the people, and the Government may not prescribe the means used to conduct it." McConnell, supra, at 341, 124 S. Ct. 619, 157 L. Ed. 2d 491 (opinion of KENNEDY, J.).
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito concurred fully. Justice Clarence Thomas concurred with all but Part IV of the judgment; Justices John Paul Stevens, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, and Sonia Sotomayor joined the judgment on Part IV only. Chief Justice Roberts filed a concurring opinion which Justice Scalia joined; Justice Scalia filed his own concurring opinion which Justice Alito joined and Justice Thomas joined in part; explaining (even quoting Noah Webster's 1828 dictionary) that corporations do have First Amendment rights to free speech and freedom of the press. Justice Stevens concurred in part and dissented in part, joined by Justices Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Breyer.[4] Justice Thomas also concurred in part and dissented in part and filed his own opinion, arguing that the Court's opinion does not go far enough - the disclosure requirements are unconstitutional as well, because they allow speakers to be intimidated. Thomas quoted numerous examples, including liberal harassment of supporters of Proposition 8.
Critics of this ruling argue that corporations are wrongfully being treated as people[5] and that decision is politically motivated because it was rushed to be made before the 2010 primaries. Some of these critics may be ignoring the fact that the decision was made to protect First Amendment rights - the rights of the people who are part of corporations. Critics may also wish to specifically deny First Amendment rights to corporations as a way of protecting liberal interests (e.g. big government, regulation, environmentalism), which are often in opposition to the political interests of corporations (e.g. Laissez-faire capitalism).
Corporate LobbiesFour years ago, the United States Supreme Court suggested that corporate spending to influence federal elections would not "give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption," the majority wrote in the Citizens United decision. According to recent analysis by the Sunlight Foundation [6]
"Between 2007 and 2012, 200 of America's most politically active corporations spent a combined $5.8 billion (with a B) on federal lobbying and campaign contributions. What they gave pales compared to what those same corporations got: $4.4 trillion (with a T) in federal business and support. Putting that in context, the $4.4 trillion total represents two-thirds of the $6.5 trillion that individual taxpayers paid into the federal treasury. Said otherwise, by spending: a paltry $6 billion to bribe the US government, or just a little more than what GM will spend on stock buybacks alone, US corporations are getting the direct benefit of two-thirds of US taxpayers' labor! And here is the visual representation of this stunning finding: for every dollar spent on influencing politics, the nation's most politically active corporations received $760 from the government. Which translates into an Internal Rate Of Return of, hold on to your hats folks, 75,900%!"[7]

Zimmerman protest leads to 17 arrests in Calif.
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Protests over George Zimmerman's acquittal have led to 17 arrests in Southern California and criminal charges against three people in Oakland.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department says eight of the 17 people arrested Wednesday night in Victorville were juveniles. The Los Angeles Times reports most of the arrests in the city 85 miles northeast of Los Angeles were for unlawful assembly.
Earlier this week, Los Angeles and Oakland were flashpoints for violent reactions following Saturday's acquittal of Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin in Florida. The San Francisco Chronicle reports two men were charged Wednesday with felony vandalism for allegedly smashing windows during the Oakland protest. A third man was charged with misdemeanor battery for allegedly throwing a rock at a policeman.

I stumbled across the writings of Louise Hay this year. How I had never found them before, I do not know. But I love them. It was through listening to her and reading her word that I learned just how powerful the choice of happiness is. It has changed my life and I hope, the lives of those I love. Go check it out yourself. You just might love it too.
I love this song "Smile", sung by Nat King Cole. It sums up how I feel about smiling at it's best. Life is always still worthwhile.
Here are some of my favorite people smiling.

Newsmaker: Golfer Makes 'Inspirational Return to the Course'
The following story appeared on NCAA.com as part of coverage for the 2012 NCAA DII Women's Championships:
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Kelsey Bortnem won't win the NCAA Championship. Her name won't be among the leaders. In fact, if she breaks 100 on the hard and hilly Persimmon Ridge Country Club layout, it will be major accomplishment.
But there won't be a bigger winner in this tournament than Bortnem, a junior from Augustana (S.D.) who is recovering from a life-threatening and mysterious bone marrow disease.
"We have an inspirational speaker each day and she was ours [Wednesday]," Augustana coach Peggy Kirby said. "What she said was, in the end it's just golf. She has her life back."
Troubled in late 2010 by a growing lack of energy, Bortnem was diagnosed in November that year with a condition similar to but not exactly like aplastic anemia, a serious blood disorder in which a person's bone marrow doesn't produce enough new blood cells.
A transfusion in January allowed Bortnem to complete the school year until she went to Minneapolis for a bone marrow transplant on June 13 following rounds of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. She spent two weeks in the hospital – considered an unusually short stay in such cases – and finally got to go home to Volga, S.D., in early August.
"I was still weak and tired," recalled Bortnem, extending her right arm and making it tremble to demonstrate how at first she wasn't strong enough to hold a dinner plate. "I was on lots of medication and I had to wear a mask all the time. While they were working on getting my immune system back up I decided to go back to school but only part time, just six credits."
At the time, golf was an afterthought, though it hovered on the horizon like a beacon in Bortnem's recovery. By early April, though, Masters week, she was able to return to the Vikings' lineup, carding rounds of 95 and 88 to tie for 37th in the Upper Iowa Spring Invitational. A week later, she tied for 44th in Augustana's home tournament, then went on to finish 43rd in the NCAA Central Regional.
"Right away I didn't think I'd be golfing at all," Bortnem said. "I thought for sure I'd have to take this entire year off. But once I got into the groove, I worked that much harder. It's really been fun to see my progress."
Bortnem's dark brown hair returned before her strength did. It used to be golf shaft straight, but like many chemo patients it's come back curly and wavy, framing a face that can smile sheepishly about the score she shot Wednesday and now frowns less about a missed three-foot putt.
"There are bigger things to worry about," she said.
At first Bortnem lost about 50 yards off the tee, though she isn't quite that short anymore. Still, walking Persimmon Ridge or any course hasn't been an option this season, so Augustana successfully petitioned the NCAA to allow her to use an electric cart.
Allowing Bortnem to be part of the lineup for the NCAA Championship was no charity on Kirby's part. Kirby had to leave behind Molly Leland, a senior who played in last year's championship tournament, after Bortnem beat her out in team qualifying.
Bortnem didn't look like the golfer she can be on famed architect Arthur Hills' strenuous test on which none of the 70 players broke par Wednesday. Starting on the back nine she didn't card a single par, then made a 12 on the par-5 third before recording her only birdie on the par-3 fourth. When it was over, Bortnem signed for a 103, last in the field.
"It was a tough day," Kirby said. "She was mortified by her round. But she knows she can compete again. The opportunity to be here at the national championship, she didn't even dream of that. She finished with her head held high. She knows what it's like to be in isolation. Shooting 103 is something she'll forget about."
This summer, Bortnem will return to Minneapolis for a one-year checkup and plans to spearhead a bone marrow registry drive in her hometown.
Then she hopes to make contact with the anonymous young man who donated the bone marrow she needed after a failing to find a match with her brother (her hospital requires patients to wait at least a year before contacting donors).
If they get to meet, what will she say? Bortnem smiles about that, too.
"I don't know. He gave me life again," she said. "What a great act to do for someone. That's why I want to give back."

Beats Music Set to Launch in January 2014
After taking over the headphones game, the folks behind Beats by Dre are launching a new music service called Beats Music.
So what exactly is Beats Music? Right now, there are few details. The NY Times predicts the service will be a streaming music portal, similar to Spotify.
"Beats Music will stream millions of songs to users for a monthly fee. But Beats executives, including Jimmy Iovine, the record mogul who is one of the founders of the Beats headphone company, have made bold claims in the past deriding other services -- even Apple's iTunes -- as being bland and uninviting," the paper reports.
Given this sentiment, it'll be interesting to see how Beats differs from competitive music streaming sites. Head over to Beats Music to claim your username now before the January 2014 launch.

1st Red Bull Air Race
The first Red Bull Air Race at the Airpower 03.
This event is based on combining elements of aerobatics with the challenges of a race. It's all about agility, precision and nerves of steel, whilst travelling at top speed. The result is an entirely new aerobatics discipline.
Hangar-7 Salzburg Airport
The Hangar-7 at Salzburg Airport is a unique architectural work of art. It was originally planned to house the ever-growing collection of the Flying Bulls' historic aircraft and has now also become a synonym for avant-garde architecture, modern art and high-class gastronomy. The wing-shaped construction – a breathtaking combination of glass and steel – perfectly melts into the landscape. Since it's opening, Hangar-7 has developed into an international hotspot for historic aviation enthusiasts. It is also a successful exhibition center; every three months HangART-7 presents the contemporary art of a different country. Each event is as unique as the gourmet restaurant Ikarus, which captivates its clientele with its supreme mastery of international culinary fare.
Red Bull X-Alps
"This is much more than just an alpine crossing: it's an adventure, an expedition and a competition." Hannes Arch
The first Red Bull X-Alps, held in 2003, opened up a new dimension in adventure racing. Seventeen athletes braved the over 1,200 mile journey from Austria's Dachstein glacier but only three managed to make it all the way to the finish in Monaco via three turning points at the Zugspitze in Germany, France's Mont Blanc and Mont Gros.

A school resource officer stopped a major tragedy after taking on an armed assailant at Dixon High School in Illinois. Police said that a 19-year-old former student showed up on campus armed with a gun and opened fire on the resource officer. He returned fire striking the 19-year-old in the shoulder. Nobody else was shot during the exchange of gunfire. The suspect was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The incident occurred in the gymnasium of the school where graduating seniors were preparing to rehearse their upcoming graduation ceremony.
Police said that the shooter was acting alone and that there was no further threat to the school. As a precaution, all the schools in the district were placed on lockdown during the investigation.
City Administrator Danny Langloss, whose daughter was in the gym at the time, said that the officers "brave actions saved a lot of lives."
Aerial footage shows students being evacuated from the school and led onto school buses.

WALTHAM — A judge dismissed domestic violence charges against Boston Celtics forward Jared Sullinger on Monday after his estranged girlfriend refused to testify against him.
Deann Smith, 23, whose accusations led to Sullinger's arrest by Waltham police, had repeatedly asked for the criminal charges to be dismissed since the Aug. 31 incident between the couple in the home they shared in Waltham.
After the ruling by Waltham District Judge Gregory Flynn, Sullinger declined to discuss the case. Asked how he was doing, Sullinger said, "Ready to play."
In paperwork filed by Sullinger's attorney, Charles Rankin, the defense asked for the charges to be dropped, contending there was no evidence to support the allegations.
Rankin wrote that Smith, through her own attorney, has notified Middlesex District Attorney Marian T. Ryan's office that she would not help prosecutors in a trial against Sullinger, 21.
Smith "will not appear and . . . if she were forced to appear, she would invoke her Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination," wrote Rankin, even though she was never accused of a crime. "Moreover, discovery in the case has revealed there are not excited utterances nor any other admissible evidence to support the charges.''
In domestic violence cases, prosecutors can cite what a victim tells first responders — known legally as "excited utterances'' — if victims refuse to testify against their alleged abusers.
A spokeswoman for Ryan said the decision by Smith not to cooperate with law enforcement stripped prosecutors of the key evidence they needed to pursue charges.
"Where the victim is a necessary witness to the case, without her testimony, we cannot sustain our burden of proof,'' MaryBeth Long said. "So the judge dismissed the case. We were not in a position to go forward.''
In a three-page affidavit, the attorney for Smith, Melinda Thompson, wrote that the couple argued on Aug. 31 in their Waltham apartment, and that Sullinger left for home in Ohio. Nine hours after the argument, according to the affidavit, Smith called Waltham police on their business line and reported the incident.
"Ms. Smith spoke with police and told them that she did not want to press charges against Mr. Sullinger,'' the attorney said, describing the first contact between Smith and law enforcement. "She told them that she did not want to have him arrested. She also told police she did not want or need protection from Mr. Sullinger.''
In the police report filed in court when the 6-foot-9-inch, 260-pound Sullinger was arrested in September, police said Smith told them that she confronted Sullinger, whom she suspected of cheating on her. The two argued verbally, and the argument intensified when Smith started packing up her belongings, according to the report.
"During this heated argument in the bedroom, Jared pushed her down onto the bed and got on top of her. Deann states she tried several times to get up, but he kept pinning her down and would not let her up,'' Waltham police wrote in the report.
Smith and Sullinger began dating when both were students at Ohio State University and were living together at the time of the incident, according to records.
Smith has since moved back to Ohio, said Thompson, her attorney.
"They certainly still talk. They definitely speak, and they're on good terms,'' Thompson said. "At this point, they don't have plans to move back in together. To be honest, I'm not sure about the status of the relationship.''
Thompson would not offer an explanation as to why Smith called police nine hours after she argued with Sullinger.
"I don't want to get into the question of why she called police, because of her privacy,'' Thompson said. "I don't want to discuss the specific allegations.''
Thompson said Smith is not critical of Waltham police for pursuing charges against Sullinger, even though she told them she was never in fear of him.
"The police did their job,'' Thompson said.
Thompson also said that Smith wanted the case against Sullinger brought to an end.
"She wanted these charges dropped right away," Thompson said. "I think it's a good result for everyone. And I know Deann is happy to put this behind her.''
Sullinger played just 45 games during his injury-shortened rookie season. But coming off back surgery, the forward is expected to be an impact player for the Celtics this season.
The Ohio State standout is the Celtics' best rebounder, but he has said his conditioning is nowhere near where it needs to be.
Still, he was one of the Celtics' most impressive players through training camp, and he averaged 10.1 points and 4.6 rebounds over 20.6 minutes in eight preseason games.

I Do Not Miss Not Having a Tarp
The most memorable postponement came because of the threat of Hurricane Frances on September 4-5, 2004, with the Rays and the Tigers taking the days off from attempting to play the game because of the impending weather and instead deciding to reschedule the game for September 30,2004 , which would make the date historic as the Rays first and only chance at playing a doubleheader under the dome. What is more surprising is that the Rays then flew to New York to play the Yankees for a previously re-rescheduled double header that had to be rescheduled twice during that series before they finally played two games on September 9,2004. Ironic, but true.
Because of the Teflon-coated dome above their heads, the Rays have only had to re-schedule one set of game for a doubleheader in their existence, which most teams would envy in a heartbeat. Take tomorrow (7/25) for example, the Detroit Tigers will have to play a doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays to finish up their weekend series after a torrid rainstorm postponed their Friday night contest. It is the one constant that a fan of a team with an open air stadium can guarantee at least once in an MLB season. that rain will end up ruining your day at the ballpark.
But at Tropicana Field, it is a given that the Rays will play a 81-game home game slate played out in its entirety without rain delays, field prep after a sudden downpour, or even postponing a contest after waiting around at the stadium for 90 minutes. When you hit Tropicana Field, you know you are going to see the entire baseball game that night. And that is a distinctive advantage that the Rays fans can embrace and find as a beautiful constant to attending and enjoying Rays games.
And because of its warm and dry comfort, the aspect of having a field tarp on the sidelines of Tropicana Field to cover the playing surface has never been a concern for the Rays groundskeepers. Sure there are a few slits in the roofing where moisture can dribble down on you within the Trop (Centerfield), but the ability to keep the fans and players dry when the winds is howling outside and the rain is beating upon the roof like the Cleveland Indian's famous kettle drum, makes the Trop a needed necessity for professional baseball in Florida.
Even if the Rays home, Tropicana Field is the last dome of its kind still playing games under its illuminated white roof in the Major Leagues, it is still home, and an always dry home to us. And that is a great thing in a state where the weather can change every five minutes…or less.Amazing enough, the Florida Marlins, our MLB brethren to the Southeast has to constantly be on guard to worry about the threat of a band of late afternoon or evening showers raining down on any of its 81 scheduled games.
The Marlins had to re-schedule 3 games in 2009 due to weather conditions affecting their outdoor stadium crowd and team. Rays fans and players know confidently that they are going to be dry except for the sweat they produce on the turf at every Rays home game.
I agree that baseball was originally designed to be played under the sun and stars, and I can respect that thinking. But in a humid and unstable moisture-based climate like Florida, having a roof over your head can be a beautiful thing. Especially with the Summertime storms that turn rain sideways and can produce wind gusts beyond 50 mph. And I have experienced a rain delay in Cleveland back on May 15,2004, and I had a grand time just being within the wet droplets and experiencing a rain delay and all its aspects personally.
I love the pure fact that when I go to a Rays game, there is a constant that I will see a baseball game that night, and even with the inner fabric of the Trop swirling from the wind gusts outside, I will be dry and comfortable up until the last out of the ballgame. Rain delays can wreck havoc on the mood and demeanor of a home crowd, but with a roof like the Trop over our heads for the next 10 years, we can be confident to see great games without a hint of delay or impromptu rain that sends both players and fans into the overhanging stands.
But I do miss a little rain on my face and the fun and special moments that a rain delay can produce…like meeting new friends at another ballpark and learning something new in a foreign town. I will leave you with a great quote from "Bull Durham" by Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

Cast of F&hF, Manhattan production
The play, "Fefu and Her Friends" is incredibly rich in content and gives us a lot to think and talk about. However, many of the reviews I've read online (here and here, for example) and even one person I overheard in the Bistro (sorry: no link here, but it wasn't a classmate of ours) seem to be confused and dissatisfied with the play. It's easy for us to brush of these disgruntled persons with our [at least half-] contented minds, but there is something to be said for this widespread lack of or misunderstanding of the play.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the play is outside of the text itself: its play with audience interaction. The second act takes the audience into four different rooms to see four scenes acted out at different times: On the lawn, in the study, in the bedroom and in the kitchen.
The stage direction reads: "The audience is divided into four groups. Each group is led to the spaces. These scenes are performed simultaneously. When the scenes are completed the audience moves to the next space and the scenes are performed again. This is repeated four times until each group has seen all four scenes. Then the audience is led back to the main auditorium" (4).
If the themes of the play are confusing, I can't imagine how an off guard play-goer would react to being led from an auditorium and into four different rooms. The experience must be very disconcerting.
We talked briefly in our class about why the author may have chosen to divide the scenes in this way. We seemed to linger on the idea that the very proper space of the living needed to be disrupted by incorporating the audience into the more queer spaces of the more private discussions and relationships amongst the women.
This seems appropriate: the play deals with repressed sexualities and the second act is bringing those to light; but what about the experience of the audience? Is it also the case that the author intended to play with the audience members' sexualities? This is certainly a viable explanation –put people out of their comfort zone and solicit an "impolite" response.
Earlier in the semester, we read Michael Warner's work with gives the seven pillars of a public. One of the most controversial of these among public sphere theorists is the contention that "a public is constituted by mere attention." In other words, any form of participation in a discursive arena makes you a part of that public.
I've been thinking about Warner since I read the stage notes; it seems noteworthy to bring up the consequences of the shuffling audience in terms of public sphere theory: how does the play make audiences interact with one another? What kind of public(s) or counterpublic(s) does it create within the audience?
By dividing the audience into four pieces, it creates four different counterpublics in relation to the overall collective of the main auditorium. Just as the women have separate interactions within their more private relationships, the members of the group you share a room with become more closely linked to you than those who you will rejoin at the end of the play. By giving your attention to that particular scene, you become part of that public, whether or not you're interacting with everyone else or not. Your unique group knows how the actresses would have played out the scene that time around or if an audience member guffawed loudly at a certain line. You share something that is lost at large when the audience comes back together.
I guess where I'm trying to go with this is to the idea that Fornes may have been drawing attention not only to the interactions between the more intimate groups of women within the play, but to the possibilities yielded by dividing the audience into more intimate groups. What sort of discussions could surface between group members when they share something that isn't shared by everyone else in the group? [How] would this experience change the malaise some readers felt with the play? Does the act of brushing shoulders with a certain group of people create solidarity?
Warner also tells us that a public is self-organized, so this may throw a wrench into this idea. It isn't exactly voluntary to be divided into these groups and once you're there, your "mere attention" may be the last damn you give about the things you experience in your group. But it seems like the conscious decision to continue to participate in the play after you've been split up from everyone else at all may be enough.
In a play that meditates so much on repressed sexualities and things not said, it seems as if prodding the audience into acknowledging the revelations of said things would have been right within the author or the play's agenda. Our conversation as a class revealed more about this play than I could have ever hoped to elucidate on my own – the experience of many different minds pulling it apart seemed to bring out
TL;DR: The play's stage directions split the audience into four rooms for Act II. It seems far too deliberate to do so without a consciousness of consequence. Perhaps Fornes hoped to create mini or counter publics within the audience in order to facilitate conversation or at least awareness of the difference between private and public spaces and interactions. Thanks Michael Warner for your public sphere theories.

This article is focused around the mountain of Star Wars games available on the original Xbox. That will attempt to explain why the Xbox was, and still is, the best console for the gaming Star Wars fan. There are countless Star Wars games out there; and every major gaming console has tried their hand at producing a successful line of games within this franchise. Star Wars, in a lot of ways, is almost a licence to print money. The PC has been, and will always more than likely be, the best format for all of your Star Wars gaming needs. Check out the impact of Star Wars Galaxies and Dark Forces to testify to that.
Sadly, most console ports of PC games are terrible, and most console specify games are even worse. Google Playstation's Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi and you'll see what I mean. Two consoles have deified this trend in the past. They are the Gamecube and the original X-Box. While I loved the Gamecube, I must quickly shoot it down now for no other reason than the limited number of great Star Wars titles it produced. It did give us Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II in 2001, and that easily tops most peoples' list of the best Star Wars games with the its incredible level environments and attention to detail. And all the Rogue Squadron titles are still a treat to play. Although they are nothing compared to the sheer amount of quality games that the X-Box gifted us. Their importance to the Star Wars canon is still felt today. The Gamecube produced fun games, but not game-changers like the original Xox.
The Xbox presented us with both the realm of the Old Republic and the era of Kyle Katarn's struggle against the New Empire. Two huge periods of time within the Expanded Universe that were opened up and explored by the games of this console. The Dark Forces games on the PC are some of the best, well thought-out and bloody hard games that the Star Wars brand can offer. The Xbox ports of the latter games are a nice addition to this lovely series of games.
Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast is the ultimate Star Wars game. You run around the galaxy fighting the new Empire and you can actually cut limbs off with your lightsaber. The force powers are tasteful and makes you feel like a Jedi. There are no superfluous additions to this game. There is no point where you feel jaded or bored, like most after a play through of Force Unleashed II. Jedi Outcast has an engaging plot and the action-packed gameplay is still outstanding 11 years later. The control of the force must be stressed again, you really feel like you have full control of the Force. While in The Force Unleashed series you have too much power, and feel more like a Roman god than a warrior monk. Then add to that poor camera issues. It is simple, less is more. Jedi Knight II didn't have any of these issues, it is the best action-based Star Wars game ever made. STILL! It is on the original Xbox, and if you're a fan, you must own this game! The sequel Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is set again in the sprawling worlds of the Expanded Universe where players can walk the path of the Jedi and learn the ways of the force or choose to play as mercenaries and use more conventional weapons such as blasters. Fans of I, Jedi can gleefully experience many elements of that book in this game.
The next major contribution of the Xbox to SWEU lore was The Old Republic. For those, like me, who grew up with consoles over a quality PC, The Old Republic was for birthed on the Xboxx with Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic in 2003. KOTOR is a masterpiece. Everything about this game is perfect, the characters, the dialogue interaction, the game's design and gameplay are all stellar. KOTOR game set the standard for every Star Wars game since, and it was the reason I bought an X-Box. Its impact is still felt today with ever-growing library of Old Republic novels and the free-to-play Old Republic RGPMMO.
Both Jedi Knight and KOTOR have achieved so much as gaming series' on this home console. It is hard to explain in one article. The current landscape of the SWEU was shaped, and perhaps to upcoming films will be in some way be influenced by the legacy of this console.
That was not all, in addition to the heavy SWEU hitters. The X-Box also had two games that engage with the film source material in a different yet, equally important manner. Star Wars: Republic Commando is a FPS squad-based combat game where you play as a highly trained clone trooper and assist in multiple small operations missions such as sabotage and ambush attacks based during the Clone Wars. This is an interesting interpretation of the Clone War Conflicts, that are hinted and shown a little in the prequels. The look of this game is taken from a gritty and "realistic" take on the world shown in Attack of the Clones. Yes. This would be technically dipping into the SWEU, but the look and feel of the game give this one a pass. The influence of this game can be seen in the Clone Wars TV show, and continued in the Republic Commando novels by Karen Traviss.
The next film based game is Star Wars: Battlefront II. If you haven't played this game, stop reading and go buy this game. While not a movie tie-in. This game lets you play in the world of the movies; it puts you in the action. This is the Star Wars Universe told from battle-to- battle, and not just focused on the hero's journey. You really feel that every man matters. This sequel to Star Wars: Battlefront added playable heroes such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, Boba Fett and a huge number of vehicles and maps. It still has a crazy amount of replayability. I have been playing this game since 2005, and it hasn't aged a day.
To be fair there were a bunch of bad games released on this console with the Star Wars name tagged to it: Jedi Starfighter, Clone Wars, Obi-Wan, and of course the movie tie-in games. However the positives of the big four KOTOR, Jedi Knight II, Battlefront II and the epic Republic Commando make this the best console for Star Wars fans. It is waiting to be rediscovered. There is no console that pleases a hardcore Star Wars fan as much as the original X-Box. Hence why I have plugged mine back in.

The 1/10-scale 22™SCT Short Course Truck Kit is the first short course offering from Team Losi Racing and is based on the ROAR National Champion 22™ buggy. The 22SCT will be the most innovative, durable and competitive short course truck ever engineered, since it is based on the 22 platform and designed from the ground up to be a dominating competitor.
Nothing beats experience. Especially when it comes to engineering a performance-driven race machine like the 22SCT. To create it, TLR engineers used all the knowledge and experience they gained from making the revolutionary 1/10-scale 22 buggy. They built on the championship-winning 22 platform and took it to the next level. And now the 22SCT is the most innovative, durable and competitive short course truck ever designed.
Designed to be a champion, the 22SCT borrows the majority of the innovative features that make the 22 platform a contender. Right from the start the ability to choose either mid- or rear-motor configuration, which will allow for SCT drivers to tune the ride they want depending on the track style and surface they are racing on. This will give the 22SCT a more global appeal for those currently running a mid-motor setup as the driving characteristics are similar. Other key features include a 7075-T6 aluminum chassis, full ball bearing equipped, heavy-duty 4mm turnbuckles, optimized motor and transmission placement, two full sets of wheels (8 wheels total), dish inserts for the wheels and all-metric hardware for ease of maintenance.
