Produced by Eastwood, Richard D. Zanuck and Lili Fini Zanuck. Released by Warner Brothers. 127 minutes. This film is rated R (violence, sex)
"True Crime" is about two lady-killers.  He is in San Quentin's death row.
The other lady-killer is Steve Everett ( 69-year old Eastwood), a hot shot NYC reporter. His exposes of corruption in high places had made him enemies. Worse yet was his compulsive womanizing. This crested when he had sex with a minor ("I thought she was 18") who was the daughter of his newspaper's owner. Expulsion followed, and a period of heavy drinking. Now on the wagon, he is working for the Oakland Tribune.
We meet him in a bar where he consumes non-alcoholic beverages. Why does he go to a watering spot for those?. One rationale might be that he has separated from his wife and does not like drinking alone, even Dr. Pepper. On the other hand, the now sober Steve has not sworn off sex. At the bar he chats up a colleague, Michelle, a cub reporter at the Tribune. She cooperates in the flirtation even though she is young enough to be his granddaughter.
After a few drinks Michelle leaves the bar. "Drive safe" says Steve in one of those phrases that substitute adjectives for adverbs. It's night, it's pouring felines and canines, the windshield wipers are working overtime, Michelle drives at over 60 mph in the driving rain. Is an accident being telegraphed to the audience? You bet. Michelle perishes on the unimaginatively named Dead Man's Curve.
The next day, or rather night, on the stroke of 12 Beachum. will be executed. The Tribune had assigned Michelle to interview the man in his last hours. What bad taste! How cynical! Now, with the girl gone, Steve gets that job. Right away he senses a miscarriage of justice. He has special doubts about the reliability of sole witness who claimed to have seen Beachum, smoking gun in hand. Steve investigates...
Clint Eastwood as justice-maker, righter of wrongs or crusader is nothing new. Nor is the film genre of trying to save an innocent man from execution. Almost certainly the first example of this was in D.W.Griffith's classic, 4-stories epic "Intolerance" (1916).
The death penalty has been, and still is, a major, controversial issue, in great part because some people on death row might be innocent. In his twenty-first film as a director, Eastwood tackles as heavy and upsetting subject as can be. But what also upsets me is the number of persons saying or writing that "True Crime," is "entertaining," "enjoyable," or "fun." Are we so desensitized?
At the paper, Steve gets strict orders from above to stick to the formula and try no tricks. The regulations are set by city editor Bob Findley (Denis Leary) and editor-in-chief Alan Mann (James Woods).
Bob is dull fellow who is not exactly enamored of Steve. He just found out that Steve had been sleeping with Madame Findley. (She had perversely cued her husband by leaving traces of Steve's passage. And Steven had been with her earlier, before going to the newspaper).
Alan is by very far the most attention-holding, lively and interesting person in the movie. His behavior, lines and actions are pure over-the-top James Woods, one of the most fascinating performers in Hollywood, even if his presumed politics are wrong.
Undaunted (as Clint is, perpetually), Steve sets to prove the innocence of Beacham. What? Can he do this in just, merely, hardly, only a dozen hours (if that many) before the execution?
That's a bit thick. This thins the plot.
Conveniently and artificially stressing the suspense is the fact that with every minute counting Steve's estranged wife practically bullies him to take, on that very day, their 5 1/2 year-old girl to the zoo, as previously arranged. Absurdly, the strong Eastwoodian character obliges. (The girl is Eastwood's daughter with Frances Fisher. This and other aspects shown seem to be self-references to Clint's own womanizing)
Artificially, far too neatly, there's a stress on parallels between Steve's failed family and the strong bonds in Beacham's. The latter's desperate wife and their little girl visit him for the last time ever.
In artificially and most inappropriately tacked on black humor, the San Quentin. prison's chaplain is a smug, unfeeling prig who brings phony and wrong "consolations" to Beacham, irritates him as well as all others.. It's in terribly bad taste, yet the clergyman is very well played by another actor who is on my list of favorites:.the superbly versatile, chameleon-like Michael McKean who, like that most hyper of thespians, James Woods, has enhanced many a movie and TV series (e.g. "Dream On")
The rest of the cast is good and performs soberly. Fine too are the production values, cinematography, and especially the depressing sounds of clanking prison doors and gates.
But the film is one of those time-watching affairs where clocks (as here) or other types of countdown timers keep approaching inexorably the fatal H-hour. It's been used, misused and overused in movies about executions, war, terrorism, heists and practically all other genres, comedies included (e.g. Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove") The best application of this, one that transcends gimmickry, is in "High Noon."
Given the impossible time-frame, Steve's instincts are more like powers of divination than detection.. His laser-sharp eyes that zoom on crucial clues add to the unrealism,.
I do appreciate the portrait of Steve as a superanuated Don Juan for not trying to redeem him. However, the under-12-hours cliffhanger gets more unlikely by the minute. While the subject is strong, its treatment is wrong. It's patchworky, as if the three scriptwriters, rather than collaborate, made separate contributions which were cobbled together in an unreal and unsubtle manner.
The "de rigueur" song that goes with the end-credits is, as usual, bad, irrelevant and dumb.

If you are coming from the East or North
East (such as Meadeville or New York):
1) Take I-90 West or SR-2 West toward Cleveland
2) If taking I-90, make sure to stay on I-90 West when I-271 splits
away. If taking SR-2, SR-2 will become I-90 West in Euclid.
3) Exit at exit # 182B, East 200th St in Euclid.
4) The exit will put you on a marginal road that parallels I-90.
Take this marginal road to East 200th St and Turn right (north)
onto East 200th. There will be a big Honda dealer and Home Depot
on the right.
5) Take East 200th for about 1 mile until it dead ends at a stop
light into LakeShore Blvd.
6) The parking for the church is to the right of the church as
you are looking at it. Turn right onto LakeShore Blvd and make an
almost an immediate left on to East 201st St. to take you to the
parking entrance.

EAGLE, THE (director: Clarence Brown; screenwriter: Hanns Kraly; cinematographer: George Barnes; editor: Hal Kern; cast: Rudolph Valentino (Vladimir Dubrovsky), Vilma Banky (Mascha Troekouroff), Louise Dresser (Catherine II, The Czarina), Albert Conti (Capt. Kuschka), Michael Pleschkoff (Lieutenant of the Black Eagle), James Marcus (Kyrilla Troekouroff), Spottiswood Aitken (Black Eagle's Father); Runtime: 77; United Artists; 1925-Silent)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
Inspired by a Pushkin novel, which it considerably watered down, "The Eagle" has been adapted to the screen by the sure-handed Clarence Brown, in a tribute to the kind of adventure story Douglas Fairbanks popularized in his silent 1922 Robin Hood film and in his Zorro role in 1920 The Mark of Zorro. This film is a tale of adventure, romance, and intrigue, with a good deal of tongue-in-cheek comedy thrown in to help the predictable story out. It was a very popular film in its time. The star, Rudolph Valentino, was a matinee idol, and when he died unexpectedly a year later at the age of 31, after making his last film "The Son of the Sheik," he became a death-cult idol for many years afterward. This, his penultimate film, is a good example of how his mannered acting and striking Latin looks, made him a ladies favorite. The film also has the great art designer, William Cameron Menzies, do its breathtaking sets. Carl Davis does the musical arrangements in the updated film version, adding the Russian touch to the ongoing screen action, with music by Tchaikovsky, Rimski-Korsakoff, and Prokofiev.
Lieutenant Dubrovsky (Rudolph Valentino), of Catherine the Great's Imperial Guard, catches the lecherous eye of the man-hungry Czarina and is invited to supper. She makes a pass at him, promising to make him a general, but he not only rebuffs her advances but leaves the palace grounds. She is so miffed by his rebuff that she calls him a deserter and issues a warrant for his arrest: dead or alive.
Valentino gets a letter from his father's deathbed telling how he has been cheated out of his estate by his false aristocratic friend and fellow wealthy landowner Kyrilla (Marcus), asking him to get the Czarina to intercede on his behalf. When he dies, Valentino takes an 'oath of vengeance' and gets help from the loyal serfs on his father's estate, who form a Robin Hood gang of masked bandits, robbing only from the wealthy. He becomes known as the legendary Black Eagle, since he can swoop down at any time. Kyrilla gets the Cossacks to be his bodyguards, as they hunt down the wanted Valentino. They don't realize the Black Eagle is the son of the one Kyrilla swindled.
Valentino falls for Kyrilla's pretty daughter Mascha (Banky) when his men capture her and he liberates her, saying women are not his enemies. He will forcefully change places with the French tutor Monsieur Le Blanc, and will come to live in his enemies' household, falling head over heels in love with Mascha, to the point where he forgets about his revenge. No one recognizes him at first, but Mascha will in due time. But she has also fallen for him by that time and responds positively towards his love.
He gets captured when one of his loyal men (Michael Pleschkoff ) gets caught on Kyrilla's estate, and to protect his man, tells them that he is the Black Eagle. Turned over to Catherine to be executed, his fortune changes when his former captain (Conti), who is now the Czarina's lover and a general, tricks the Czarina into signing a passport for him as the French tutor. She approves of sparing Valentino's life, after finding out about the deception, and proves that even she's not so bad.
The film was set in the 18th century, but the costumes were from more modern times.
 Valentino is dashing in the role, but it is difficult to see what made him so popular from this movie. I feel the same way about James Dean when I see his films. But there must have been something beyond what was seen onscreen to explain his tremendous appeal. This satisfying film is a good one to determine for yourself what there is about him that had his lady fans swoon over him. It is a large-scale picture, giving him a chance to do both action and romantic scenes, the kind of serious acting he wasn't asked to do in his previous films.

Background
Story Universe Background
Welcome to the narrative section of my senior thesis project, HARD LIGHT! This story takes place in a world just like our own. A mysterious company, known as the JANUS Corporation, is in the process of creating a new, world-altering product known as the HOLO. Noah, an up and coming YouTuber, enters a contest to win the first HOLO as an attempt to build his popularity. However, things aren't as they seem. . .
Many elements of this project are somewhat open-ended, and some characters have very minimal roles in the story. This is intentional, as each of these open-ended routes serve as new stories that can be built off of this core narrative. This is one of the beauties of the transmedia model of storytelling, and, if there was more time and a bigger team, these routes would have been explored much more. This project, however, only focuses on the linear route of Noah and his HOLO.
Project Status & Timeline Breakdown
This project was originally created with the intention for a real-time release over YouTube and Twitter, but had to be dramatically shifted due to the school/country-wide shutdown. This left many of the videos missing partial or all of footage needed to edit them, and I was already too far in the process of story creation to make major shifts to the structure. To account for this, I worked with the cast members of the project to get audio recordings and overlay them over stock footage or the script. By doing so, I feel as though I captured the essence of the story while also staying safe and healthy in these trying times.
Due to the fact that this project is not in the right state to actually release live over Twitter and YouTube, I created a timeline that models the order and information attached to each segment of the story. Each video card (27 in total) has the title at the top, channel it was going to be released on, real-time day it would have been posted on (with the first video marking day 1), the description that would have been under the video, and creator notes. These creator notes are important, as they describe how this video has changed because of the previously described setbacks, as well as reasoning for why it was created or included. Layered between some of these chapters are tweets from the main character, used to fill in gaps between story chapters and ingrain the narrative in the real world. These tweets would have also allowed followers of the story to have canonical interactions with the main character, furthering their investment into the narrative.


Why plane tires don't explode on landing
by Mark FrauenfelderIf you've been on a plane that's landed hard, you probably wondered why the tires didn't pop. In this video Brandy Moorhead, Goodyear's director of off-highway product development, explains how jet tires are made to withstand a 175,000-lb 737's hard landing.
For one thing, jet tires are made from a specially reinforced material not used in car or truck tires. Also, jet tires are inflated twice as much as truck tires and six times as much as car tires to give them extra strength. They are inflated with nitrogen instead of air, because nitrogen is an inert gas, which means pressure and temperature changes have less of an effect on the tires' characteristics. And the are retreaded every 500 landings.

MYL
The smaller subunits of MYOSINS that bind near the head groups of MYOSIN HEAVY CHAINS. The myosin light chains have a molecular weight of about 20 KDa and there are usually one essential and one regulatory pair of light chains associated with each heavy chain. Many myosin light chains that bind calcium are considered "calmodulin-like" proteins.

In an earlier post I described how to deploy Hadoop under Cygwin in Windows. This time I'll show how to get Mahout running in that environment.
Getting the Mahout examples running from within your Cygwin environment is as easy as copy-pasting the commands from the Mahout wiki. Trying to get this code running not using the mahout startup script (which, at least to my understaning limits you to only using the examples bundled with Mahout) is a different story.
Before we get started I just want to point out that should you have any questions concerning how Mahout works (i.e. not related to the installation) please direct your questions to the Mahout User list. Information about the list can be found here.
The main problem with Mahout under Cygwin is the different path-variables. Whether it be CLASSPATH, HADOOP_HOME or MAHOUT_HOME, Windows and Cygwin do not work well together. This is of course due to the fact that Cygwin expects Unix-style paths, whereas Windows obviously prefers it's native format.
Anyhow, these are the steps that need to be taken in order to be able to run commands like
hadoop jar mahout-core-0.4.jar org.apache.mahout.cf.taste.hadoop.item.RecommenderJob --input userdata/ --output useroutput -n 10 --usersFile umr.csv -s SIMILARITY_PEARSON_CORRELATION
bin/mahout org.apache.mahout.cf.taste.hadoop.item.RecommenderJob --input userdata/ --output useroutput -n 10 --usersFile umr.csv -s SIMILARITY_PEARSON_CORRELATION
Next step is to download Mahout, for this guide I'm using the 0.4 binary distribution (mahout-distribution-0.4.tar.gz) found by following the download links here. Deploy the distribution by unzipping/untaring it to a directory on your disk and set up the %MAHOUT_HOME% environmental variable.
Having done this, on a non-Windows system we'd be done. This being Windows, we're not.
Test your Mahout (and Hadoop) home variable(s) by typing the following commands in a command window.
echo $MAHOUT_HOME
echo $HADOOP_HOME
By now you should be able to go to $MAHOUT_HOME (in a Cygwin terminal window) and issue the Mahout command above (provided you've started Hadoop and copied files to the directories specified in the command). If you're not sure how to do these thing, I suggest you familiarize yourself with Hadoop before continuing. You will find documentation for copying files onto a HDFS cluster here.
If issuing this command is successful, you should have run your first distributed Mahout job by now.
Time to add the final configurations to Hadoop in order to be able to run your own projects with Mahout as a dependency.
First we need to edit the hadoop script that runs it all ($HADOOP_HOME/bin/hadoop) and add the following lines after the user-specified classpath setup (should be around row 170)
export MAHOUT_JARS=""
MAHOUT_HOME=`cygpath $MAHOUT_HOME`
#echo $MAHOUT_HOME
# add release dependencies to CLASSPATH
for f in $MAHOUT_HOME/mahout-*.jar; do
MAHOUT_JARS=${MAHOUT_JARS}:$f;
done
# add dev targets if they exist
for f in $MAHOUT_HOME/*/target/mahout-*-job.jar; do
MAHOUT_JARS=${MAHOUT_JARS}:$f;
done
for f in $MAHOUT_HOME/lib/*.jar; do
MAHOUT_JARS=${MAHOUT_JARS}:$f;
#echo $f
done
# add development dependencies to CLASSPATH
for f in $MAHOUT_HOME/examples/target/dependency/*.jar; do
MAHOUT_JARS=${MAHOUT_JARS}:$f;
done
export HADOOP_CLASSPATH=$HADOOP_CLASSPATH":"$MAHOUT_JARS
These lines add the Mahoot jars to the Hadoop classpath, i.e. make sure that when Hadoop issues the java command, Java will be able to find the Mahout dependencies in your project.
Next, we need to do the same (almost) in $HADOOP_HOM/conf/hadoop-env.sh, otherwise the datanodes and jobtracker won't be aware of the dependencies.
Add the following lines somewhere at the top of the file
export MAHOUT_HOME="C:\cygwin\usr\local\mahout-distribution-0.4"
export MAHOUT_JARS=""
MAHOUT_HOME=`cygpath $MAHOUT_HOME`
# add release dependencies to CLASSPATH
for f in $MAHOUT_HOME/mahout-*.jar; do
MAHOUT_JARS=${MAHOUT_JARS}:$f;
done
# add dev targets if they exist
for f in $MAHOUT_HOME/*/target/mahout-*-job.jar; do
MAHOUT_JARS=${MAHOUT_JARS}:$f;
done
for f in $MAHOUT_HOME/lib/*.jar; do
MAHOUT_JARS=${MAHOUT_JARS}:$f;
done
# add development dependencies to CLASSPATH
for f in $MAHOUT_HOME/examples/target/dependency/*.jar; do
MAHOUT_JARS=${MAHOUT_JARS}:$f;
done
export HADOOP_CLASSPATH=$HADOOP_CLASSPATH":"$MAHOUT_JARS
Just make sure that MAHOUT_HOME points to the folder where your Mahout instance resides. This should be configurable with the $MAHOUT_HOME variable, however, when not specifically stating the variable in this file i received errors when starting or stopping either the nodes or the jobtracker.
Having done this, your Mahout setup should be done, and you should be able to run your self-built Mahout jobs.

NATUREGIFMANIFESTO
What is the value of examining something carefully if not scientifically? Can those observations lead to something concrete? Can they facilitate a willingness to address frightening things straight on?
Climate scientists and some of the rest of us feel despair because of the vastness of our self-sabotage, the insufficiency of our attention, and the impossibility of stewarding the land and sea without seeing it.
Amidst diminishing supply, look closer or longer until you see. Look at a rock from all angles until it re-forms in your mind. Use a microscope to look at a cell, spare and utile. Walk to the top of a hill and see what's at your feet and what's in the distance. Look farther until you see. Use a telescope to look at the moon, so expansive it fills the lens. Relax your eyes until shapes clarify. Notice the products of all your senses and whether those products have value outside of your consumption. Document this. A mole-rat conducts her business in the dark.
By seeing something from every angle I come to understand its meaning. I work around the edge if it's too bold or alarming to take in all at once.
 The system is a reminder that you exist. Reminders are good because people expect you to forget yourself.
The act of observation inserts a separation between the self and nature, protecting nature. Observation inserts nature between the self and the unknown, protecting the self.
I'm not embarrassed to love nature, wild animals, and plants. I love them as individuals and as ideals. There is no hierarchy of creatures. There is no hierarchy of rocks, water, air, and skin.
Listen to the earth speak about her lived experience.
Repeat this step until you hear and believe.
Repeat this step until you can act without causing harm.
It shouldn't be a privilege to spend time with nature but it is. The only place I've met a climate change denier face-to-face is Norfolk, Virginia, my beautiful sinking hometown. If I don't pay attention, how will I know when I'm underwater?
I thought a sense of place was the American way. Who makes war on the National Park Service?  It is a tool that can be used for protection. Since time is infinitely divisible, it must be possible to experience something infinitely too. I know this is counterintuitive but it's a good coping mechanism. Think of the scales of time and space in the round, endless.

Changing Lanes
by Judge J. Howard Sundermann
Changing Lanes is modern day film noir-- not Humphrey
Bogart in a trench coat saving Lauren Bacall, but a gray urban
setting where the main characters must make moral choices in
a world that seems corrupt and uncaring. This is a character-centered
film that takes place in one long day.
Ben Affleck plays
a young yuppie lawyer and Samuel L. Jackson plays a middle-class
man who is trying to keep his wife and family from leaving him.
These two actors are very good in their parts, especially Jackson.
Both of these two very different men are on their way to court
that morning for very different reasons. Affleck needs to present
a document that shows a deceased billionaire turned over control
of his foundation to Affleck's law firm. The billionaire was
induced to sign when he was incompetent and near death. Jackson
is on his way to a domestic hearing armed with a bank loan approval
to show to the court his plan to buy a house, hoping to convince
his fed-up wife not to move out of town with his two sons. On
the way to court, the two have a fender-bender, in which no one
is hurt. Jackson wants to exchange information and call the
police, but Affleck, who is in a hurry, hands Jackson a check
and drives off, leaving Jackson stranded in the middle of the
street. Neither one of them has good luck when they arrive late
for court. Jackson arrives as the hearing is concluding and
an uncaring judge gives him no chance to present his plan. His
wife sees his being late as another example of his inability
to deal with problems and says she is moving. He is bitter and
incensed. Affleck realizes that he has left the important documents
at the scene of the accident and is given until the end of the
day to produce them or he loses his case. Jackson, feeling aggrieved,
refuses to turn the documents over to Affleck, and the rest of
the film is a battle between Jackson and Affleck. We find out
a lot about the two men during the course of this day, their
flaws and their strengths, and they find out a lot about themselves.
During the film, both become able to see themselves as others
might see them. Their journey of self-discovery is worth the
trip for moviegoers.
Jackson clearly loves his wife and children and is a decent,
kind-hearted person.  His goal is
to put his life back together and save his family.
Affleck works for a law firm
where ethics are a distraction or a hurdle to be overcome. Over
the course of the day, he commits a series of improper acts to
protect his privileged life. He leaves the scene of an accident,
assists in defrauding a charity, wrongly bankrupts a person,
and is on the verge of forging legal documents. He married the
boss's daughter, so he is an up-and-comer at the law firm.
Director Sydney Pollack, who as always is great as a rich and
cynical lawyer, plays Affleck's father-in-law and the senior
partner. In a revealing scene, while Affleck is having lunch
with his wife, she tells him she knows all about her father's
corruption and unfaithfulness. Like her mother, she has made
her bargain with the devil and expects Affleck to do what is
necessary to maintain their Wall Street life style. The film
is not very kind to lawyers and leaves the all-too-typical Hollywood
impression that the only way to be successful in the practice
is to sell out in some way.
Because he felt mistreated,
Jackson refuses to return the file back to Affleck. Affleck
then goes to a guy "who can fix things." This person
gets into the computer and foils Jackson's credit rating so his
home loan is disapproved. The two go back and forth seeking
revenge, but this is more than a film about revenge; it is about
the lives and character of the two men. The film is shot entirely
in New York City and is done in an almost documentary style.
Director Roger Michell, who did the very different romantic
comedy Notting Hill, shows here the same good touch for character
and relationships.
The upbeat ending seems like it was tacked on after some preview
audiences requested it, but this is a really good film. Lawyers
take a beating, but that is not a novelty anymore.

Snatch 3 and 1/2 Stars (Out of 4) Reviewed by Mac VerStandig<EMAIL_ADDRESS>http://www.moviereviews.org January 18, 2000 USA Release Date - January 19, 2001
---A copy of this review can be found at http://www.moviereviews.org/snatch.htm ---
A rollicking exercise in perverse darkness, Guy Ritchie's sophomore outing, "Snatch," is the rare film that produces disgust-induced humor with some degree of frequency and yet never stoops to a juvenile level. The laughs in this crime-dominated movie find their origin in a hearty combination of relatively innocent matters like gambling addictions, thick accents and trans-Atlantic travel as well as less innocent yet equally amusing situations presented including unlicensed boxing matches where the fix is in, a murderer who uses pigs to dispose of his bodies and a band of less-than-honest gypsies.
Sorting out the plot of "Snatch" is a slightly more strenuous task, however. An oddly unique combination of "Goodfellas," "Entrapment" and, in a more limited respect, "Diamonds," the movie follows a crime ring, diamond heist and boxing scam that all intersect early and often. It all starts when Franky Four Fingers (Benicio Del Toro, who follows up his much-noted role in "Traffic" with another solid performance) gets laid over in London on his way back to the States where he is to deliver a huge diamond to his boss, Avi (Dennis Farina). Meanwhile, he has some smaller diamonds he decides to unload while "in town." In the process, his gambling addiction takes a toll and he gives into temptation when asked to place a bet on one of the aforementioned unlicensed bare-knuckle bouts that would give even Don King the willies. The wager is, of course, a set up and soon enough Franky Four Fingers has a problem on his hands. Enter Mickey O'Neil (Brad Pitt, who gives one of his better and more enjoyable performances in his return to a fighting role after the hugely-popular "Fight Club"), an Irish gypsy with extraordinary charisma and a heavy, incomprehensible accent that is worsened for the viewer by his fluency in Cockney Rhyming Slang. After knocking out the boxer who was set to go down in the match, Mickey must fill in for him. Problem is that Mickey doesn't take orders too well.
There are more characters and additional plot lines, but writer/director Ritchie seems thoroughly uninterested in their clarity. And that is perhaps a wise move as an understanding of the basic outline and an appreciation for the sinful and oftentimes-morbid humor is enough to enjoy this fine piece of art. And to fill whatever voids may remain, a phenomenal ensemble effort and some very creative camerawork are at Ritchie's disposal.
Pitt steals the show with his hearty accent, scraggly facial hair and obviously phony enthusiasm about the "mess" he gets himself into. Unfortunately for Pitt, the film is being released three weeks after the cutoff for consideration in 2000, a year full of generally weak supporting performances where his might be considered among the finest. But it is still far too early to speculate how he may stack up against the class of 2001. Benicio Del Toro also comes across strong in yet another gangster performance, following earlier successes in "The Usual Suspects," "The Way of the Gun" and, most recently, "Traffic." The rest of the cast is delightful to watch in their oddly creepy roles, including Vinnie Jones as Bullet Tooth Tony and Alan Ford as Brick Top.
Ritchie, along with director of photography Tim Maurice-Jones and editor Jon Harris, creates a strangely unique visual effect in many parts of the film. Whether it be snappy editing with isolated colors in the film's opening montage or just generally deft coverage of the movie's bouts, the trio recognize the possibility of visuals even in a film made to look grungy and realize that possibility fully here.
Be warned that "Snatch" can be quite offensive at times. The film's most subtle yet humorous line is a character's inquisitive "In the quiet words of the Virgin Mary, please come again.'" There are Irish jokes scattered throughout. It takes less than five minutes for a Jewish joke to pop up. The film even takes a potshot at the British from time to time. But even if 2001 is truly the beginning of the "politically correct millennium, "Snatch" is the finest film to be released thus far and well worth a look by most adult audiences.

Sometimes a site will be running a correctly configured LDM and yet not be receiving all requested data. Or a site may receive data correctly most of the time but also experience possibly recurring episodes of missing data. Such symptoms often indicate network problems. Network problems are difficult because frequently there is very little control over them. This page is to help you diagnose and possibly treat these problems.
First, it is important that LDM site managers develop a good relationship with their system administrators. System administrators are among the best suited people to assist with network problems. Furthermore, if your site is a data relay site, it is important that these people be aware of the role that you are playing so that they can consider this when making changes affecting the network.
The LDM tries to deal with the problem of network congestion. In particular, if a product doesn't make it to its destination site, the upstream LDM will try to re-send it. This will continue until the product is successfully sent, or it becomes too old (over an hour, by default), or some other disabling event occurs such as a machine or network connection going down. Due to the fewer number of packets, it is more likely for a low-volume stream to be successfully transmitted than a high-volume stream.
We can break down this situation into three cases. First, if an LDM is down for just a brief time, say, a few minutes, it is possible that no data will be lost. Second, if an LDM is down for between a few minutes and one hour, data may or may not be lost, depending on whether the upstream and downstream site can reestablish which products should be sent and transfer the backlog of products in a timely manner. Third, if an LDM is down for over one hour, products over one hour old will be lost because data at the upstream site is, by default, expired after one hour. The success of transfer of products less than one hour old is the same as in the second case.
In any of these cases, the system should eventually be able to catch up and the problem of missing data should disappear. If it doesn't, the next two steps are to (1) evaluate your upstream feed then (2) evaluate the connection to your upstream feed.
Note that man pages are available for all the commands listed in this section and the following section. Be sure to check the man pages for detailed information about command options and output.
ping - This is a UNIX command. It sends a continuous stream of small packets to the named host, so that you can watch the quality of the connection over time. Upon completion it gives a few summarizing statistics. With ping you can see if a site is connected and responding. It also gives some indication of network delays and packet delivery reliability.
Example: ping host_name
Note that by default ping only sends very small packets. The reliability of transmission of larger packets may be different. See the man page for info regarding how to change the packet size.
ldmping - This is an LDM command. It checks to see if an LDM server is running on a remote host. It does not require the 'ping'ing site to be on the access control list of the upstream LDM (unlike notifyme, below), and thus can be used on any host. It should return the string "RESPONDING" in the state field. If it doesn't, check the man page to see what the state means.
Example: ldmping -i 5 -h host_name to ping every five seconds
Since network traffic varies over time, it can be useful to either run ldmping for a while, say 1/2 hour, or use it to sample at a variety of times.
notifyme - This is an LDM command to see if upstream host is receiving data. The remote host must have an 'allow' line for your site in the ldmd.conf file, so it also ensures that the upstream site is configured properly to send you products.
Example: notifyme -vl - -h host_name
notifyme returns (1) the current system time, (2) the string 'notifyme', (3) the product size, (4) the time the product was injected into the IDD, (5) the feed type, (6) a sequence number, and (7) the product ID with the actual product time. If you take the difference between the first and fourth fields, you can see how long it took the product to arrive at the host.
Although these are ways for you to get some information regarding your upstream feed, there is no way for you to determine what 'allow' entries your upstream feed has in its ldmd.conf file for your site. Thus, your upstream feed may be getting the data you want, but it may not be configured properly to send it to you. If you have ruled out network congestion (see below) and suspect this is the case, contact your upstream site.
If your upstream site is up but you have missing data, then you may have network
congestion problems. If, at this point you suspect network congestion, take
a look at the log. Execute the command: ldmadmin log
If high latency is occurring, the downstream LDM log will contain messages similar
to the following exchange between the upstream site 'rainbow' and the downstream
site 'shadow':
> Nov 14 20:53:13 shadow rainbow[15060]: > RECLASS:<PHONE_NUMBER>5313.567 TS_ENDT > {{DDPLUS, ".*"},{IDS, ".*"},{HDS, ".*"}} > Nov 14 20:53:13 shadow rainbow[15060]: > skipped:<PHONE_NUMBER>5019.062 (174.505 seconds) > Nov 14 20:58:29 shadow rainbow[15060]: > RECLASS:<PHONE_NUMBER>5829.792 TS_ENDT > {{DDPLUS, ".*"},{IDS, ".*"},{HDS, ".*"}} > Nov 14 20:58:29 shadow rainbow[15060]: > skipped:<PHONE_NUMBER>5339.392 (290.400 seconds) > Nov 14 21:04:06 shadow rainbow[15060]: > RECLASS:<PHONE_NUMBER>0406.219 TS_ENDT > {{DDPLUS, ".*"},{IDS, ".*"},{HDS, ".*"}} > Nov 14 21:04:06 shadow rainbow[15060]: > skipped:<PHONE_NUMBER>5920.680 (285.539 seconds)
In this case the RECLASS message means that rainbow has sent shadow data that is older than shadow wishes to accept. Shadow responded by sending the upstream site the RECLASS message. The purpose of the RECLASS message is to reestablish which products should actually be sent, including information about the desired time ranges. Also, the 'skipped' entries indicate that shadow is throwing away the old products it received.
For more information on the RECLASS and 'skipped' messages, click here.
Here are a few tools to help in evaluating the quality of the connectivity to your upstream site:.
traceroute - Use this UNIX command to identify the route through which information flows from one host to another. It will also show where slow links are located. After using traceroute to determine the intermediate hops between your machine and the destination machine, you can use ping to test where a source of packet loss may be located.
Example: traceroute host_name
traceroute picks a path to the named host, then, by default, sends three probes to each gateway along the path. Each line of output displays the timing results of these three probes. By default, timing results greater than five seconds are reported by displaying a '*' for that probe. See the man page for more information and changing default values.
ftp - This is the UNIX file transfer utility. Grabbing a junk file can give you another perspective of the degree of network congestion. This requires that you know of, and have access to, a file to transfer.
Example: ftp host_name, then follow the protocol to transfer a file.
Example: netcheck
Once network congestion has been confirmed, only a limited set of options are available. Here at the UPC we can make some changes in the IDD topology based on empirical knowledge of the network. However, this solution can be labor intensive and is limited due to site resources.
If your network connection is bad, you will need to show the problem to your system administrator or ISP. The submission of the network problem must come from the customer, so the UPC cannot submit the request on your behalf. Since network problems can be intermittent, it's important to get your system administrator or ISP involved when you can actually show them the problem.
You can increase the '-m max_latency' parameter to ldmd(1) to allow the upstream site more time to deliver. You would have to increase your queue size proportionately. Of course, this really won't do much good unless the upstream site has a correspondingly large product-queue. Otherwise, the products will be garbage-collected before they are able to be sent. This would allow you to get the data, albeit in a less timely manner. This is not a great solution.
Another thing you can try is to split the feed requests of your LDM so that multiple connections are used. For example, in etc/ldmd.conf change
torequest DDPLUS|IDS|HDS ".*" rainbow.eas.purdue.edu
request DDPLUS ".*" rainbow.eas.purdue.edu request IDS ".*" rainbow.eas.purdue.edu request HDS ".*" rainbow.eas.purdue.edu
Because of the multiple entries, the LDM will fork off a separate process and, thus, a separate connection for the three feeds. The parallel connections sometimes result in greater throughput.
In the long run, however, you may need to ask for less data or get a fatter pipe. It is worth considering whether you can get by with less data. Sites often request more data than they actually use. Or, NSF provides grants for equipment that might include hardware to upgrade network connections. Such grants are announced on the UPC homepage. You can also see an old announcement from the NSF for more information.
A last resort would be to purchase or build your own direct satellite receiver system for acquiring NOAAport data and feeding these data to your LDM. Some of the required components include: a satellite antenna, an ingest card, a PC, some software, and a demodulator for each channel desired. Contact<EMAIL_ADDRESS>for more information. This option will not help with non-NOAAPORT data feeds, such as NIDS or NLDN.

In this section you will find a full scenario on how to use GIT to create a project, add files,commit modifications and upload them in the remote repository.
After the GIT installation you should set your configuration. Use the following commands:
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>This step is important since the above details will appear when you commit modifications in the repository. In this way your collaborators will know who has updated the repository content.
Next, you should generate an SSH key. You must have at least one SSH public key to push your git repository to GitHub.
You can follow the detailed instructions listed in the SiteGround's Knowledge Base in order to generate an SSH key:
http://kb.siteground.com/article/How_to_generate_an_SSH_key_in_Linux.html
Add the key through the GitHub interface.
Further, create a working folder for your project and enter that directory:
user@user:/GIT# mkdir test
user@user:/GIT# cd test
Initialize a new GIT repository:
user@user:/GIT/test# git init
An empty Git repository is initialized: /GIT/test/.git
Create a file in the working folder:
user@user:/GIT/test# touch README
You can check the status of files in the index versus the working directory:
user@user:/GIT/test# git status
# On branch master # # Initial commit # # Untracked files: # (use "git add
Next, add the newly created file to the index:
user@user:/GIT/test# git add README
Once again check the status of the files in the index versus the working directory:
user@user:/GIT/test# git status # On branch master # # Initial commit # # Changes to be committed: # (use "git rm --cached
README Proceed with the first commit:
user@user:/GIT/test# git commit -m 'first commit' [master (root-commit)
84f241e] first commit 0 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 README
Check the status after the commit operation:
user@user:/GIT/test# git status # On branch master nothing to commit (working directory clean)
Add the remote repository to your existing local one:
user@user:/GIT/test# git remote add origin git@github.com:user/test.git
Push the modification to the remote repository:
user@user:/GIT/test# git push origin master Counting objects: 3, done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 207 bytes, done. Total 3 (delta 0),
reused 0 (delta 0) To git@github.com:user/test.git * [new branch] master -> master
You can log in your GitHub account and check the newly pushed file:
In this tutorial chapter you have learned how to create a new project, set a new file and upload it to the remote repository.

We're looking back on Add/Drop period -- the first week of classes, where students can update their scheduled courses at will. This week consists of the dates Monday August 24 2015 through Friday August 28 2015, after which adding and dropping classes is no longer allowed. This period encompasses a large shift in registration as students make final decisions on which courses they want to take, as well as a number of new courses being added to the listing.
The goal of analysing these numbers is to gain insights into the add/drop process and to better understand the student body, but the primary motivation is always simple curiosity. We'll break this data down in a variety of ways to see what we can learn in this interest. Data for this analysis is provided by the recently added course versioning functionality, which is the technology used to send relevant updates via email when course details change. Course versioning tracks courses over time and retains past data for future crunching.
With all that said, let's get to it!
The Fall Semester 2015 listings, as of the posting of this article, contain 1,355 courses. Of these, lectures are of course the overwhelming majority, encompassing 74% of them. The next largest type is labs, coming in at 16%. The type with the least number of offered courses is practicum, of which only 16 are offered.
An attempt to break these courses down by subject quickly reveals the diversity of subjects offered at CNU. The top three contenders for most classes are, in order, Biology with 107 courses offered, English with 101 courses offered, and Math with 76 courses offered. A large amount of musical instruments are offered as their own subject, similar to how foreign languages are separated, and most only contain a single course in that subject, including Violin, Cello, Clarinet, Oboe, and more. Other subjects with only one course include a Musical Improvisation course and NSCI - The Study of Science (not to be mistaken for NCIS, unfortunately). You can click on the subjects below to disable them from the graph.
Of these classes, the majority (57%) are currently closed, which is to be expected following add/drop.
However, simply comparing the numbers of closed and open courses does not paint the entire picture. Many courses frequently flip between statuses as students modify their schedules over time. Data from the Open Course following system, which notifies users when a course status changes, show that more users were notified about a closed course opening (79 notifications) than about an open course closing (65 notifications) during add/drop.
In fact, over 519 courses changed their status at least once during this period. 470 courses were closed from the beginning and never lost a registration, and 366 courses were opened from the beginning and have still not reached capacity.
Looking at the change in the total number of open seats in all classes, an upward trend is evident which grows as the weekend nears, indicating more available spots being opened up. Whether this is from students dropping classes (the majority of the changes) or from a number of sections added, courses become more available over time.
Note that this graph also includes the open seats from new classes added to the listings. The jump in available seats on the 24th is the result of a large batch of 50 courses that were opened that day. Following the graph from that point at the beginning of the week, students can be seen largely registering for seats by the temporary downward trend before it heads back up as drops occur.
This number of open seats (over 1,200) is at first surprisingly large - enough for nearly an entire extra class of students to fill. However, considering the number of courses from which they are summed, the overall average number of seats is only 2.9 per course.
Zeroing in on that set of 50 sections that was added on the 24th, we can break down the courses by subject to see what was added. What happened there?
The explanation for this addition is more technical in nature. These classes actually are the new sections that apply to the Fall 2015 catalog. Around the 24th at 10 AM, a change was made to the code of the Schedule of Classes page which Open Course gets its data from. This change meant that the "Fall 2014" catalog option shows classes for catalogs After Fall 2014, even though the label has remained the same. This has the effect of introducing all of the newly introduced courses, notably ENGL 123 and LDSP 210 courses for Freshmen.
Prior to this change, the data on Schedule of Classes, and by extension on Open Course, was incomplete (missing the Fall 2015 catalog-specific sections). This issue was known because several freshman who had used the browser plugin to sync their classes to Open Course had synced an unknown CRN, causing database errors that had to be resolved. Looking into this issue revealed the inconsistencies in the public Schedule of Classes site which had remained unfixed by CNU until this time (and resulted in much better API validation).
With that sorted, let's take a look at the state of courses by what time they start. Time is often a factor when it comes to scheduling your courses, but when it comes to early and late classes, there is still much debate about which are better. To determine what the majority prefers, we'll look at the average available number of seats in courses at 12 hours of the day.
Not surprisingly, the courses beginning at 8 AM are highly undesired by students, at least 44% less popular than other classes which begin at 9 AM, just an hour later. It seems that waking up much earlier than 8 to get ready for the day is avoided by most people. Interestingly, classes at this time aren't the least popular according to this data. Seats in courses around 7 PM are the least popular, possibly because taking one of these will cause you to miss regular hours for dinner. Courses which meet at most other times during the day are the more widely taken classes, and 10 AM courses are the favorites. Of course, these hours aren't exhaustive.
What about the instructor who teaches the course? RateMyProfessors is an often-used site that allows students to give reviews on their courses, and generates a rating for each professor. Are these reviews heeded by students, or does the convenience of the course (time and other factors) level the playing field?
Let's look at the average number of seats in the 50 highest and lowest rated courses.
As it turns out, students do appear to take general class or instructor rating into account when selecting their classes. This result could come from online sources, such as RateMyProfessor, simple word of mouth, or could be in fact related to unanalyzed factors. Keep in mind that this evaluation is highly unscientific. From the data at hand, however, students to tend to choose courses from more highly recommend instructors to add to their schedule.
It should be noted that, even among the bottom 50 courses, the average open seats is only 3.48. This is lower than the average number of seats in classes which meet at 8 AM from the data above, and significantly lower than those that meet at 7 PM. This indicates that, even though instructors are taken into account during registration, time can provide a much more compelling reason to choose one class over another.
There's a lot of cool things to be learned from data. Taking a look at this data is incredibly validating and shows the importance (and coolness) of this project, because without it these insights haven't been available. If you have an angle you'd like to see that hasn't been looked at yet, please let me know!
Though the results of this analysis are interesting and very cool, they are limited in scope. The functionality created to track courses over time offers better insight into how they change over time, but still from an outside perspective. Better analytics could obviously be leveraged directly from course systems.
Futhermore, this data only comes from the add/drop period of course registration. The Open Course system launched this summer and does not have any records of the full registration period at the end of the Spring 2015 Semester. With the limitations of this analysis understood, there is an opportunity to make changes and upgrades where needed to get a better view of next semester's registration when the time comes.
With that said, boundaries must be respected. Data collection is often at odds with privacy. Companies which manage popular internet websites often grapple with the desire to both respect their users' perceived rights and better understanding them. When this is done wrong, it creates security concerns for everyone involved because user's personal information is put at risk and makes users feel as though they are being watched. "Surveillance breeds conformity" (Glenn Grenwald). The goal of this project is to always, in the face of such a dilemma, air on the side of privacy. These implications need to be kept in mind for future research.


An Arkansas gas station gets a colourful makeover courtesy of Camille Walala
by Jamie RobinsonCamille Walala’s works might be instantly recognizable, but the London-based designer still creates them in unexpected places – as with this gas station in Arkansas’ Fort Smith.
The French designer has transformed a disused vintage petrol station into a public piece of art, created with the help of local volunteers who spent several days painting the structure with Walala’s dizzyingly colourful design.
Walala wrapped the 1950 structure in her signature black-and-white stripes and pastel shades, influenced by her love of the Memphis movement, ‘dazzle’ painting techniques and textiles by women of the Southern Ndebele tribe.
The Walala Pump & Go is commissioned by the creative studio JustKids and will remain in-situ for the foreseeable future.

Out of the box, Luga Validator doesn't provide a way to perform conditional validation. This was a design choice. Creating a flexible and generic solution would require a lot of code and would undoubtedly fail to cover all contingencies.
Whenever you need to perform conditional validation, all you need to do is write a custom JavaScript function and use its name as the value of the data-lugavalidator-required attribute
In this example you want to validate a text field only if the associated checkbox is checked. The HTML code will look like this:
<input type="text" name="newmeal" id="newmeal" data-lugavalidator-required="dependonbox" luga-data-message="Meal's name?"/>
Now you need to write the JavaScript code that will enforce conditional validation, based on whatever custom condition you need to handle. The function should expect the field's DOM node as its only argument and return a boolean:
function dependonbox(fieldNode){
// The field is required only if the box is checked
if(document.getElementById("specialmeal").checked === true){
return true;
}
return false;
};

Customization
The GB Elements Sayt component allows for the option to not display its children components. Users of the component can add the following attributes for particular customizations:
hideAutocomplete
: Prevents thegbe-autocomplete
component from rendering.hideProducts
: Prevents thegbe-products
component from rendering.showCloseButton
: Shows a button to allow for closing SAYT manually.closeText
: Customizes the text in the close button.visible
: Determines the visibility of thesayt
component.minSearchLength
: The minimum length of the search term required before a SAYT request will be made with it.searchbox
: Optional ID of the searchbox paired with this component.group
: Optional attribute to add thesayt
component to a grouping of related search components. The component will only act on events if they contain the same group name as the component.area
: The area to use in product searches.collection
: The collection to use in autocomplete and product searches.Testing

To elucidate the mechanisms by which the North Pacific dominates the Arctic temperature response, we evaluate the climate feedbacks involved in the single-basin heat flux experiments. The additional ocean-to-atmosphere heat flux of +1 W/m 2 global-equivalent from the North Pacific (NP-Warm) results in annual surface temperature increases ranging from 0.5 to 6°C across the entire northern hemisphere, with warming concentrated across the North Pacific Ocean and Arctic (Fig. 3). Annual-mean Arctic sea ice is reduced by 7.36 ± 0.54% relative to the control simulation, with the greatest decline focused along the sea-ice edge in the Greenland and Barents Seas and in the Sea of Okhotsk in the western Pacific (Fig. 3). Surface warming is most pronounced in winter months (December–February) and is amplified along the North Atlantic sea-ice edge and northern Siberia (Supplementary Figure 2), where surface temperature anomalies reach 6–7°C in winter. The mean global and Arctic temperature anomalies in the NP-Warm simulation are +0.95 ± 0.03 and +3.08 ± 0.20°C, respectively.
Overall, the NA-Warm simulation elicits a more muted northern hemisphere warming compared to the NP-Warm simulation, with reduced surface warming in the Arctic, Northeastern Pacific, and North American continent. Annual-mean SSTs increase by 5–6°C near the region of modified heat flux, with smaller magnitudes of warming seen elsewhere in the northern hemisphere (0.5–3°C) (Fig. 3). Annual-mean sea-ice area decreases by 4.98 ± 0.56% relative to the control simulation, with the greatest decline in the Beaufort Sea, along the perimeter of northern Alaska. The mean global and Arctic temperature anomalies in the NA-Warm simulation are +0.79 ± 0.02 and +2.12 ± 0.20°C, respectively.
