Hey anyone knows what is the average waiting time for GW ED?
AverageWrongForest
@DomineeringDemonicMongoose: I'm in the same situation. Applied mid-Dec, and haven't heard a thing.
SassyFrenchBulldog
Can someone explain how people with crazy low stats are getting in to certain schools?
Do we think people are jsut bsing or is it legit? It pains me
WLRGang23
gw plz send scholly info
sanctaracing
@SassyFrenchBulldog: Are they splitters/reverse splitters? As a reverse splitter I can say it's possible.
I watched a video where an admissions dean said that your stats determine the height of the bar you have to jump over. Some people might have an easier time than others but everyone has to jump over it.
Peepzilla
damn thats deep
DomineeringDemonicMongoose
is the portal down for anyone else?
Nvm I guess a lot of the ones through LSAC are down
please I just want an answer
ColossalLuckyInsect
not me putting in my new lsat and looking for new stat twins
StarSwissCow
My date disappeared this morning, good sign for later today maybe??
FreePanickyBulldog
I got WL in Dec but just got a status change unexpectedly?
[] trox9
they most definitely do not just care about lsat
look at their graph
wrong chat my b
DD214-DA30
Same thing happened to me Free
they are trying to lower their LSAT median (at least that is what it seems like they are doing based on WL high stats)
I think we might be getting the wave in 10ish minutes
Decision made on status checker
I am not in this wave (phew), Congrats to everyone with As!!
ClumsyHandsomelyTomato
mine says decision made how long until the email?
probably depends on last name? also check spam folder
meatballsub
yes check spam or promotions (if u have gmail) mine was hidden in promotions
VengefulAverageLiger
they send out decisions on the weekends?
GW is hard stats right?
Got a nice line of death at 169 I see.
VerdantCrabbyEagle
oh wow yeah gdub is bad
GoodUnbecomingMacaque
does anyone know if you have to send GW updated transcripts to be considered for scholarship?

Author Notes: Overnight Oats are one of my absolute favourite, simple breakfasts when I'm in a rush to get out the house. They take around 5 minutes to make the evening before, and then you can actually sit down and enjoy your breakfast the next morning knowing you don't have to rush around to make a healthy, nutritious meal. As a dancer, training early mornings, this is a great breakfast to take on the go, you just need a glass jar and a lid - and your good to go! I also love this as a fuelling snack before a performance, as it's full of sustaining complex carbohydrates which release slowly into the blood stream giving you a wealth of sustained energy. Oats also contain the alkaloid gramine, which is a natural sedative. This can help treat anxiety, depression and insomnia naturally without any side effects. Perfect for me pre performance, but this can also benefit anyone with excessive nerves or anxiety!
For the oat mixture, mix 1/2 banana, oats, almond milk, chia seeds & flax seeds in a bowl. Make sure the banana is mashed before you add it!
For the creamy topping add all other ingredients to your blender and simply blend until totally smooth. add the oats to the bottom of a jar, or glass and top with the cream. Leave in the fridge overnight and enjoy in the morning.
I used 1/3 c. oats, added 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, and 1 serving collagen powder with oat mix. For cashew cream, I omitted the date and used 2T almond milk. DELICIOUS doesn't even begin to describe it.

As language and visual understanding by machines progresses rapidly, we are observing an increasing interest in holistic architectures that tightly interlink both modalities in a joint learning and inference process. This trend has allowed the community to progress towards more challenging and open-ended tasks and refueled the hope at achieving the old AI dream of building machines that could pass a turing test in open domains.
In this line of research, our primary focus lies on building machines that answer questions about images. Moreover, we also explore different ways of benchmarking the machines on this complex and ambiguous task. In  and , we provide a wider view on question answering based on images task. We enumerate the challenges that holistic learners have to face with, and discuss advantages of the question answering task over other high cognitive problems, most prominently scalable annotation effort and automatic benchmarking tools.
In , we propose a symbolic-based approach to answer questions about images, where we combine a 'soft' perception with a symbolic reasoning. Our Bayesian formulation extends the work on semantic parsing (P. Liang 'Learning dependency-based compositional semantics') to handle many interpretations of a scene as well. In addition, we also introduce a WUPS score as a 'softer' generalization of the Accuracy measure that handles with word-level ambiguities. In this work, we also propose DAQUAR - a dataset of human question answer pairs about images, which manifests our vision on a Visual Turing Test.
In , we propose a neural-based approach to answer questions about images that combines Convolutional Neural Network together with a Recurrent Neural Network (LSTM). It is an end-to-end, jointly trained, modular approach that liberates us from many design choices required in the previous work. The network has successfully learnt patterns that occur in language, significantly improving over the previous work. Moreover, we extend the WUPS scores to handle multiple interpretations of a question via Consensus, which also partitions the dataset according to difficulty/ambiguity of questions. Finally, we give further insights about both the problem and DAQUAR.

Figure 2. Our approach Neural-Image-QA to question answering with a Recurrent Neural Network using Long Short Term Memory (LSTM). To answer a question about an image, we feed in both, the image (CNN features) and the question (green boxes) into the LSTM. After the (variable length) question is encoded, we generate the answers (multiple words, orange boxes). During the answer generation phase the previously predicted answer words are fed into the LSTM until the <END> symbol is predicted.
Figure 3. Overview of our approach to question answering task. A state-of-the-art scene segmentation method divides images into semantic segments that are represented as predicates. This step creates a set of visual facts that are used by semantic parser to retrieve an answer for a given question. The single world approach averages only over multiple interpretations of a question and considers a unique scene interpretation while our multi-world approach takes also multiple interpretations of a scene into account.

Required data to reproduce results of the multiple words model on the Full DAQUAR from the "Ask Your Neurons: A Neural-based Approach to Answering Questions about Images" paper.
The following (exemplar) source files are compatible with the DCS Parser (Percy Liang et. al.), and are required to reproduce results from the " A Multi-World Approach to Question Answering about Real-World Scenes based on Uncertain Input" paper.
The whole package compatible with the DCS Parser (Percy Liang et. al.) is used to train our system. In all packages we maintain the same structure as the DCS Parser source code.
 To estimate this number, we remove image ids, all articles and nouns (we use a Stanford POS Tagger), and count how often such modified questions occur in the dataset.


And so, Dear Reader, I present to you twenty-first in a infinite number of posts of "The Weekly Source Code." I'm doubling up this week, but the ASP.NET MVC Source was released today and I wanted to share more thoughts. I would also encourage you to check out TWSC 17 on Community ASP.NET MVC code.
When you're reading source, look for words like "TODO," "HACK," "REVIEW," etc, to find parts of the code that the writers are concerned about.
// TODO: Should these be HTML encoded or HTML attribute encoded? Need to review all helper methods that call this.
This is an interesting question. He's asking if they should use System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlAttributeEncode or HtmlEncode. HTML Attribute Encoding encodes <, " and &.
This is a tough one also. Chasing caching issues is a huge hassle and consumed at least 10% of my time when I was writing banking software. Even now it feels like there are subtle (and not-so-subtle) differences between IE and Firefox. Seems like Firefox really caches aggressively.
// REVIEW: Should we make this public?
And this one, which is kind of funny. The property IsReusable in an HttpHandler indicates whether or not an instance has state and as such, should not be reused by ASP.NET property. If you write an HttpHandler and it has no state, just a ProcessRequest, you can "reuse" it which should result in a small perf gain.
//REVIEW: Should we have an overload that takes Uri?
We've all written comments like these. The trick is to make sure you've included all your key words in Visual Studio so that all your comments will show up in the Task List and can be dealt with before you ship.
Microsoft uses CodeAnalysis a lot and you should too. However, sometimes CodeAnalysis offers suggestions that are wrong or not really appropriate and you'll want to suppress those.
Looking for references to SuppressMessage is a good way to find out where unwavering "purity" analytics fall down and pragmatism should win the day. That said, it never hurts to reevaluate these occasionally as opportunities for refactoring.
Code analysis is warning that there's a string parameter with the name "Url", but the justification is valid: "The value is not a regular URL since it may contain ~/ ASP.NET-specific characters"
As I've said before, whenever I start reading code, I look for things marked "Util." These tell us a few things. Things named Util show the "underbelly" of code and point out where things could either be better factored, either in the thing your reading, or in the larger Framework whatever your reading lives in.
In ASP.NET MVC's project there's a Util folder and a Pair.cs file, so let's check it out.
This is a simple but clever class that uses generics to make a Pair of any two types. The interesting part is the CombineHashCodes method that takes the hash codes from each object and combines them in a way that makes that pair's hashcode unique enough for use in a Hashtable later.
...where the Key is the actual TempData storage dictionary, and the value is the list of keys that were modified during one request so that they might survive to the next.
There's lot more to learn from reading this code, and it's going to be fun to watch it grow, change and improve!
I've written extensively about getting GetHashCode implementation right here and then getting things right with regard to better hash code values against integers here.
Generic pairs really should be in the basic framework, in a top-level namespace. I used KeyValuePairs for a while. If we could have tuples (or "named anonymous types") that would be even better, so the property names aren't just "First" and "Second." Ah well.
This post was a lot of fun though, thanks! I think I should browse through the comments in the general .NET Framework source some time; might be similarly fun.
It's too bad that you can't view task list comments for all files in a C# project. As I remember, you can in VB.NET projects. It would be cool to put the comments in a build report. Anyone know of any good tools for doing that?
I feel rather strange now. Just a few hours ago I was digging in the MVC source and the exact same things caught up my attention: the "What's this" comment, all those suppressions and even the Pair class. One more good thing is "These values seem arbitrary...".
I'd go along with you, except for the fact that the string parameter being passed is not a URL at all: it's a relative path. URLs are very well defined and not the expectation of this method. I say Code Analysis is "more right"!
This just shows how silly C# dev coding is becoming in comparison to properly generic counterparts such as Boost.
The difference is engineering principles between .NET and modern template metaprogramming is so high it isn't even worth discussing.
But I understand we all need to be productive, and dive into Ruby and DLR and Silverlight silliness..
Anders did a great job producing a toy language by adding more and more runtime hacks on top while getting the compiler to generate more and more bloat.
Not good, where this industry is going, remember that.
The class doesn't show as a generic class because the converter messed up when the C# was converted to HTML. If you check the source you'll see that the code reads internal sealed class Pair<tfirst tsecond ,> which doesn't render correctly in HTML.
I'm looking at MVC now and found it to be a really nice initiative from the ASP.NET team. But I still can't understand why the Controller class is inside the web namespace and why it is ASP.NET specific.
Isn't the Controller part of MVC supposed to be "view technology" agnostic? Isn't that the whole point of the MVC pattern?
When I used MVC in the past my main goal was to implement one controller logic and use that logic into multiple presentation technologies, like Winforms, Winforms inside .Net compact framework, WPF or ASP.NET. So the devs would code one thing and have it running on two different presentation views with the same presentation rules controlled by the view controller on the background.
Just some thoughts... :) Great webcasts about MVC by the way!!!


If you are having a tough time trying to figure out how you can send a single message to all your friends on Facebook, here's an article which will guide you through the entire process step by step.
The ever-changing Facebook user interface can put you in a sort of dilemma at times, which is not quite surprising considering that the top social networking website has been trying everything possible to keep hackers and spammers at bay. Of the many restrictions that Facebook users face, one in particular that is difficult to decipher, is that of restricting the number of people you can message at a time.
Whom Can You Send Messages on Facebook?
The advanced privacy settings of Facebook restrict the number of people you can message. The foremost thing you need to understand is that Facebook messaging and Facebook chat are two different concepts, with the former being more of an email client and the latter, more of a chat client. Basically, you can only chat with those people who are in your friends list. On the other hand, you can message everybody on Facebook―as long as their privacy settings don't restrict you from the same. If you can see the 'Send a Message' tab right below the persons profile picture (or alongside the person's picture in search results) you can message him by clicking on this tab.
The user-friendly interface of Facebook makes messaging an easy task, but only when you know where the particular tabs are located. This, mind you, is not an easy task, as Facebook revamps its user interface every now and then. If you want to message a single person, you just have to go to the persons profile and click on the 'Send a Message' tab. This will redirect you to a new page wherein you can type the message in the composing box and simply click on the 'Send' tab below it. That's about sending message to single recipient, but what if you want to message all your friends on Facebook together?
In this case, you will have to go to your Facebook homepage, locate the 'Messages' tab (located at the left hand side of the screen), and click on it. On doing this, you will be redirected to a new page, wherein you will be able to compose your message in the composing box. When you are done composing the message, you will have to click on the small box wherein you are supposed to feed the recipient's name. You can either feed the names of the recipients or their email addresses. Once you are done selecting all friends, you can simply go ahead and click on the 'Send' tab. Your message will be sent to all the recipients you had selected.
How Many Facebook Friends Can You Message at a Time?
You cannot send a message to all those 200 - 300 people in your friends list in one go. Like we said earlier, there is a limit to the number of people you can message at a time. As of today, the maximum number of people you get to message is 20. It's a precautionary measure to ensure that your message box is not flooded with spam, a problem quite common with most of the email clients in the cyberspace today. They may decide to increase it (or reduce it) in the future, but as of today, you will have to be content with 20.
If your friends list has more than 20 people, then you are left with two options. First, you can simply repeat the entire process of sending messages to 20 people again and again. Second, you can create a group of all those people whom you want to send the message and click on the 'Send Message to the Group' tab to send it to all of them. An easier way out is to use status update to send your message across to the people, but this should only be tried when the message you are sending is NOT confidential.

Pig - Review
This little piggy went missing.
Posted July 13, 2021, midnight
The premise and trailer of Pig have a distinctly John Wick vibe, swapping out a well-groomed Keanu Reeves for a scraggly Nicolas Cage, and a murdered puppy for a kidnapped truffle hog. However, writer-director Michael Sarnoski has something more intimate in mind. While Reeves's former hitman and Cage's retired gourmet chef share a similar DNA — they're both men seeking solace in animals, and in isolation, after the deaths of their wives — Pig functions as the film equivalent of a deconstructed dish. It separates the key ingredients of the action-revenge genre and plates them to perfection, focusing on the richness of each element as the fundamental flavors offer whiffs of nostalgia.
Pig is divided into three chapters, and while the partitions may be arbitrary, they're each named for a specific, delectable dish that illuminates something about the characters. The film has food on its brain and in its bones, to the point of reading like a fancy menu. Cage plays the reclusive Rob, a former superstar of the Portland restaurant scene, who now lives in a forest cabin with his trusty sow. She responds to his whistles, sleeps by his side, and shares the wholesome meals he prepares in his rustic skillet. Together, they hunt for truffles, a rare, expensive prized ingredient in western gourmet dining. Rob sells these aromatic mushrooms to a young entrepreneur, Amir (Alex Wolff), who rolls up to Rob's lonely abode in his bright-yellow sports car. Rob doesn't speak to Amir. He doesn't want to be bothered. The only words he's spoken in a decade seem to be tender, comforting whispers to his loyal companion. His pig is the only thing he cares about — the only living thing anyway, since all he has left of his late wife is an audiotape marked "Robin," a name he's long since left behind.
Within a handful of quiet scenes, the film establishes how vitally important this pig is to Rob. So, when he's assaulted one night and she's taken by force, little time is wasted on explaining why she matters or why he's so driven to find her. With the help of Amir (Rob's only real ally, since he has a vested financial interest in finding the pig), Rob begins tracking down possible suspects, until a trail of breadcrumbs leads him back to Portland, and to a strange underground network of chefs and restaurants that functions like secret crime ring.
The film, though it exists in the body of an action thriller, is a moving reflection on loss, with its small handful of action beats dispensed with upfront. It's led by a performance that, in turn, deconstructs Cage's whole career as he offers hints of the unhinged, direct-to-video psychopath of various memes and compilations, buried under the more nuanced Cage whose eyes harbor an alluring sadness. These are, of course, one and the same Cage, but they can't help but feel like entities at war in a film that intentionally separates the anger and violence which drive the action genre, from the underlying vulnerabilities that send men on suicide missions for our entertainment.
Pig by no means holds action movies to account — it has a clear appreciation for John Wick and other such genre landmarks — but it does what so many action-revenge films try and often fail to when they also want to be critical of the "revenge" half of the equation. The "action" part of things will always be enjoyable to some degree, even if you slap a sad-face sticker on the packaging. For instance, Mandy, another zany Nic Cage revenge-deconstruction, leans all the way into both elements, ramping up its Heavy Metal action aesthetic while drowning its violence in a sea of grief. Pig is Mandy's quieter, more considered cousin. Its action takes the form of a bizarre, dimly lit underground fight club where chefs line up to be beaten, but they don't retaliate. For Rob, having the s**t kicked out of him isn't just a way to progress the plot — he participates in exchange for information — but the violence feels like his self-loathing made manifest. A purifying penance, as if he blames himself for everything and everyone he's lost.
The film moves like an enormous jungle cat, at once ferocious and agile; Mandy editor Brett Bachman balances heavy contemplations with breakneck momentum, as Rob moves up the chain of suspects quicker than you'd expect. He isn't trying to exact revenge in the traditional sense. Some characters are willing to help him because they know and revere the man he used to be; when others need more convincing, the tools he uses aren't knives or firearms, but his culinary acumen, lending credence to the notion of cooking as a unique art form. When Rob questions the chef of a fine dining establishment — who seems to know more about the pig than he lets on — the scene takes on an absurdist bent, turning discussions about molecular gastronomy into an emotional interrogation. Rob takes aim not at the chef's body, but his heart and soul, unearthing insecurities about the way he expresses himself through food.
The John Wick films use fancy dining as code for more sinister things; The Sommelier in John Wick: Chapter 2, for instance, speaks about guns and ammunition as if they were fine wines. Pig, in turn, brings this concept full circle by having Rob and Amir's gear-up scenes center around gathering literal ingredients, as they prepare to confront the party responsible for the kidnapping. The result of this particular "battle" isn't the opening up of physical wounds, but emotional ones. Rob finds the most ingenious way to negotiate with the villain: by connecting with them on a spiritual level, through food and memory.
The film, which brings utilitarianism into conflict with natural harmony, paints a haunting portrait of Rob's discomfort in the modern world. He's a man who feels at one with nature and with the sounds of flowing water. The moment he enters the halogen-lit realm of urban structures, the film's cool, naturalistic visual palette is usurped by a piss-colored wash. The bridges and buildings surrounding Rob begin to feel enormous; shots of them fade into one another, creating an overpowering fabric of metal and concrete.
Although the film is Sarnoski's feature debut, he doesn't let these visual flourishes overwhelm his secret weapon: Cage's subdued performance. The first time Rob speaks to another human being, his determination to retrieve his companion is hampered by the shudder in Cage's voice, an uneasiness with conversation, as if he's no longer used to human contact. The only way he seems capable of communicating is through food — in itself a melancholy idea since the film ties food directly and inexorably to nostalgia for a rose-tinted past. For instance, Amir, even though he comes off as business-like, holds on desperately to a rare, unattainable happy memory of his parents, the result of a particularly memorable meal many years ago (which ends up the center of its own surprising subplot).
Whether or not Rob's journey constitutes "revenge," he remains moored to the past in the same way as someone in mourning lashing out; "We don't get a lot of things to really care about," he laments. The film's vital confrontations all crescendo in emotionally charged moments — Cage, as always, shines during these scenes — but rarely do they offer the catharsis of a violent explosion. What's left, amidst the emotional wreckage of grief, is a lingering, inescapable misery unaffected by physical action. It subsides only temporarily when the film's characters find some way to express their inner turmoil, despite the walls they've built around them. Their outlet just so happens to involve their taste buds.
Nicolas Cage stars as a truffle hunter living alone in the Oregon wilderness who must return to his past in Portland when his pig is stolen.

Not often seen, roots are a fascinating and obviously important part of every plant.
Always at work, rust grows on an exposed steel bolt.
Florida, summer heat, moisture, clouds grow and spread into afternoon thunderstorms.
Thanks, Pam! I struggled with this topic all week!
The roots are truly fascinating. Great pictures !
Oh I do so like a nice rusty bolt leeching it's redness into wood fibres!
So do I! Thank you for your comment. The Natural World gives and then takes away.
Entirely true. But what a blessing to be able to quietly observe and capture these moments!

But that's only part of the challenge – one that many trained agents could handle effectively. They've called upon Monarch because, after the interrogation, he must return the scientist without the Russians, the Iranians, or the scientist himself ever knowing he's been grabbed.
Meet Robin Monarch in "The Art of Rendition," a thrilling, compelling story which showcases the author and character, each at the top of their form. As a bonus, included is a special excerpt from Rogue, the first Robin Monarch novel, coming in Fall of 2012.
Escape Artist: A Robin Monarch Short Story
From the author of Beneath a Scarlet Sky comes "A compelling, page-turning blend of spy and caper fiction: it's Robin Hood for the twenty-first century." –Jeff Abbott
Robin Monarch is a world-class thief and a highly skilled operative––a man with skills, a rigid code of honor, powerful friends and implacable enemies.
In 'Escape Artist,' Monarch's abilities––and his nerve––are both tested when he's sent deep into the jungles of the Congo, into the encampment of an army of boy-soldiers under the leadership of a man calling himself Lieutenant Zed. He's undercover as a black market diamond dealer. His job is to steal the largest, most perfect diamond yet seen before Zed is able to sell it and use the proceeds to continue waging war. But as any thief could tell you, getting in is the easy part. Getting out, however, from the heart of an unfamiliar jungle with a hostile 'army' at your back, requires more skill and luck that even Robin Monarch can count on.
Robin Monarch––called "one of the most compelling heroes since Jason Bourne" (Lisa Gardner)––is introduced in this chilling, nerve-wracking story.
Brotherhood and Others: Three Robin Monarch stories
From the author of the bestselling Beneath a Scarlet Sky comes Robin Monarch––called "one of the most compelling heroes since Jason Bourne" (Lisa Gardner)–– in three propulsive, nerve-wracking stories.
Robin Monarch is a man with a complicated, secret past and a very grim future. Currently locked up in the USDB—the military supermax prison known as Leavenworth—the CIA offers Monarch one shot at freedom and a pardon. All he has to do is steal something from a highly secure position at ground zero of a war-zone, and escape undetected.
But this isn't Monarch's first time at this sort of dance. As an orphaned teen scraping for survival on the streets of Buenos Aires he was involved with the Fraternidad de Ladrones—the Brotherhood that schooled him in the art of deception and survival. But his initiation rite requires him to use all the skills he has learned, and all the nerve he possesses, to steal something of great value under impossible circumstances. In both cases, success will require everything he has—skill, wit, endurance, and intelligence—and means survival and freedom. And failure...failure is to lose all that he has.
ART OF RENDITION
Monarch is now an agent for the CIA, and is called upon to use his unique skills to kidnap and interrogate a Russian nuclear scientist suspected of selling technology to the Iranians. But that's only part of the challenge—one that many trained agents could handle effectively. They've called upon Monarch because, after the interrogation, he must return the scientist without the Russians, the Iranians, or the scientist himself ever knowing he was taken.

The Deceivers
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Interfering with the presidential election was just the first step.
The Russians don't just want to influence American elections--they want it all. Former CIA agent John Wells confronts a plot of astonishing audacity as New York Times-bestselling author Alex Berenson goes beyond today's headlines to tomorrow's all-too-real threats.
It was supposed to be a terrorist sting. The guns were supposed to be disabled. Then why was there so much blood?
The target was the American Airlines Center, the home of the Dallas Mavericks. The FBI had told Ahmed Shakir that his drug bust would go away if he helped them, and they'd supply all the weaponry, carefully removing the firing pins before the main event. It never occurred to Ahmed to doubt them, until it was too late.
When John Wells is called to Washington, he's sure it's to investigate the carnage in Dallas, but it isn't. The former CIA director, now president, Vinnie Duto has plenty of people working in Texas. He wants Wells to go to Colombia. An old asset there has information to share--and it will lead Wells to the deadliest mission of his life, an extraordinary confluence of sleeper cells, sniper teams, false flag operations, double agents high in the U.S. government--and a Russian plot to take over the government itself. If it succeeds, what happened in Texas will be only a prelude.
To unmask a CIA mole, John Wells must resume his old undercover identity as an al Qaeda jihadi—and hope he can survive it—in this cutting-edge novel from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author.
It is the most dangerous mission of John Wells's career.
Evidence is mounting that someone high up in the CIA is doing the unthinkable—passing messages to ISIS, alerting them to planned operations. Finding out the mole's identity without alerting him, however, will be very hard, and to accomplish it, Wells will have to do something he thought he'd left behind forever. He will have to reassume his former identity as an al Qaeda jihadi, get captured, and go undercover to befriend an ISIS prisoner in a secret Bulgarian prison.
Many years before, Wells was the only American agent ever to penetrate al Qaeda, but times have changed drastically. The terrorist organizations have multiplied: gotten bigger, crueler, more ambitious and powerful. Wells knows it may well be his death sentence. But there is no one else.
Matt Helm - The Interlopers
This time Mac has gone too far. For Helm to impersonate a Communist courier to whom he bears no resemblance is suicide, and that isn't all. Someone wants to get the layout of the Alaskan North-west Coastal Defence System, but they aren't the goodies or the baddies. So who the hell are they? And who is the mysterious Holz that Helm is meant to kill?
Matt Helm - The Terminators (EBK)
"I can't kill you. If I do, Mac will send out the executioners, the termination squads..."
When the big man in Washington assigned Matt Helm to ride shotgun on a top secret mission in Norway, Helm wanted to know why. But this was a need-to-know deal, at least until his partner—a woman posing as his mistress—was killed. Now Helm is mad, mad enough to blow the operation sky high.
The Counterfeit Agent
"Berenson's strength is his deep understanding of geopolitics and of the shoddy compromises it demands. He clearly has excellent contacts in the world of shadows. Wells is a complex and satisfying protagonist, tackling bad guys across the world's conflict zones."--The New York Times Book Review
John Wells goes undercover as the threat of nuclear war skyrockets between the United States and Iran, in the cutting-edge new novel from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author.
In an Istanbul hotel, a deep source warns a CIA agent that Iran intends to kill a CIA station chief. Quickly, John Wells is called in to investigate, but before he can get far, the tip comes true. Which means that the next warning the source gives will be taken very seriously indeed. And it's a big one. We've put a package on a ship from Dubai to the United States. A radioactive one. A bomb? Not yet. It's a test run.
As the threat level jumps and the government mobilizes, something still doesn't smell right to Wells's old CIA boss Ellis Shafer, and so he sends Wells on a private mission to find out what's going on. But the two of them are swimming against the tide. From Guatemala to Thailand to Hong Kong to Istanbul, Wells uses every skill he has, including his ability to go undercover in the Arab world, to chase down leads. But it might not be enough. Soon there might be nothing anyone can do to pull the United States back from the brink of war.
American Traitor: A Pike Logan Novel
"Few authors write about espionage, terrorism, and clandestine hit squads as well as Taylor does."—Houston Press
Pike Logan is on the desperate hunt for a man who is about to betray his country—and ignite a horrific new world war—in this pulse-pounding thriller from New York Times bestselling author and former special forces officer Brad Taylor
Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill are enjoying a sunny vacation down under when they get disturbing news: their friend and colleague Clifford Delmonty is in serious trouble. While working as a contractor at an Australian F-35 facility, the former Taskforce member—callsign Dunkin—saw something he shouldn't have, and now he's on the run from Chinese agents.
Pike and Jennifer soon discover that Dunkin's attackers are a dangerous link to a much larger scheme that could launch a full-on conflict between China and Taiwan. In its quest for dominance, China is determined to reclaim Taiwan—a pivotal ally the United States has sworn to protect. Pike learns that the Chinese have a devious plan to bait the island nation into all-out war by destabilizing the government and manipulating an artificial intelligence defense system.
As the threat reaches a boiling point, Pike alone realizes that what they're seeing isn't actually real. A soldier who has always been trained to fight and win, Pike must now track down and neutralize the missing man who holds the key. With the help of Jennifer, the Taskforce team, and a brave Taiwanese intelligence agent, he races to prevent a catastrophic conflict from consuming a whole region of the world.
Triple Cross
From the author of the bestselling Beneath a Scarlet Sky comes "A smart, prescient thriller...The story snaps and twists like a cracking whip, you can't help but root for Mickey Hennessey and his kids, and I defy you to guess the ending." --Robert Crais
The Jefferson Club is a remote, private resort for the super-rich – the buildings, the amenities, and the security are state of the art and beyond compare. Many of the world's wealthiest people – business leaders, entrepreneurs, politicians, celebrities – gather for the most exclusive New Year's Eve party in the world. As expensive champagne flows and multibillion dollar deals are arranged, the unimaginable happens – a highly trained, heavily armed paramilitary force calling itself the Third Position Army breaches the world's best security system and takes everybody hostage.
"Mickey" Hennessey, former U.S. Special Agent, is the head of security for the Jefferson Club. A divorced father of three teenagers, he's spending the holiday with his kids. When the club is attacked, his entire team is wiped out and only he makes it out of the club alive. Now he's outside while his kids are trapped inside, hostages of the Third Position Army who are putting seven of the ten richest men on "trial" for their crimes against humanity, live on the internet for the world to see. While a top FBI rescue team works feverishly to rescue all the hostages, Hennessey is determined to do all he can, to overcome every obstacle, to ensure his children's safety – or die trying.
"Mills's suspenseful, strikingly original sixth Mitch Rapp novel…is as riveting as anything penned by Mitch's creator, Vince Flynn (1966–2013). Mills has really hit his stride with this franchise entry." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"One of the best thriller writers on the planet." —The Real Book Spy
In the next thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling Mitch Rapp series, it's a race against the clock when ISIS takes out the entire US power grid and throws the country into chaos.
When Mitch Rapp captures ISIS's top technology expert, he reveals that he was on his way to meet a man who claims to have the ability to bring down America's power grid. Rapp is determined to eliminate this shadowy figure, but the CIA's trap fails.
The Agency is still trying to determine what went wrong when ISIS operatives help this cyber terrorist do what he said he could—plunge the country into darkness. With no concept of how this unprecedented act was accomplished, the task of getting the power back on could take months. Perhaps even years.
Rapp and his team embark on a desperate search for the only people who know how to repair the damage—the ones responsible. But his operating environment is like nothing he's experienced before. Computers and communication networks are down, fuel can no longer be pumped from gas stations, water and sanitation systems are on the brink of collapse, and the supply of food is running out.
Can Rapp get the lights back on before America descends irretrievably into chaos?
This compulsive thriller proves once again that the Mitch Rapp series is "the best of the best when it comes to the world of special ops" (Booklist, starred review).

This is a positive development: we want to live in the a world where you cut out people's eyeballs out before stealing their iPhone, like in Steven Spielberg's Minority Report.
iPhone Caste Identifier 'I Am Rich', the $999 application that placed a one-of-a-kind digital red gem on your iPhone was recently removed from the App Store. It opened a hole in the luxury iPhone market, and it has grown a little bit each day. And yet such class-based markings could provide important information to police officers, as in Logan's Run. In the film, Michael York's red crystal signals the end of his lifeclock. iPhone users can be classified slightly differently: according to their devotion to Steve Jobs. Or perhaps according to how many apps they've downloaded. Or even just how much money is in their checking accounts. Don't let your iPhone be your status symbol. Let it be a broadcasting device that lets people know about all your other status symbols too.
iPhone Gecko Bonder The iPhone needs to use nanotechnology to communicate with other objects. Paul Di Fillipo's short story "...And The Dish Ran Away With The Spoon" describes amalgamations of household objects as dangerous composite objects called blebs:
Most devices nowadays were made with MEMS skins. Their surfaces were interactive, practically alive, formed of zillions of individual actuators...Like the paws of geckos, there MEMS surfaces could bind to dumb materials and to other MEMS skins via the Van der Waals force, just as a gecko could skitter across the ceiling. Objects possessed by the Volition Bug would writhe, slither, and crawl to join together, forming strange new assemblages, independent entities with unfathomable cybernetic goals of their own.
By connecting with your toaster, the iPhone can let the device know exactly how long to toast your bread. Or merge with your DVR so you can mess with all your iTunes content via your TV. iPhone Spouse Trainer We want phones packed with sentient computer intelligences that you can address with your vocal cords instead of your index finger. A little "human" interaction would improve our lives in every way. Even our love lives. After all, Futurama's Bender fell in love with his ship's computer, which is something we have wanted to do with an Apple ever since we watched Scotty try to communicate directly with a Mac in Star Trek IV.
A voice-activated AI programmed with the intelligence of your actual partners could potentially save a marriage. You could even rehearse fights before having them at home. Your partner won't have to remind you to take out the trash 1,000 times - now your iPhone can do it for them, in that same kindly tone of voice. iPhone Scramble Suit There's no reason you need to carry an iPhone and a can of mace when you're walking in a dangerous area. The lightsaber app won't help when the robber tosses your cash aside and announces how much he loves the new 3G. But Apple's firm hold over distribution in the App Store slowed down developers even after they abolished non-disclosure agreements, and of course Apple will never want the liability involved in turning the iPhone into a weapon. That means it'll be more effective to have an app that disguises your iPhone, making it look like a ham sandwich, or a Blackberry. What we want is the iPhone Scramble Suit, the clothing from A Scanner Darkly that camouflages people by making them look like other people. iPhone Surveillance NanoBot Swarm Want to find out what your professor is typing into her computer as she creates tomorrow's test? Or maybe you just need to know what's happening behind a certain closed door. That's why we want the iPhone nanobot swarm surveillance app, inspired by the surveillance swarms in Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age. Just activate this app and your iPhone releases a small swarm of surveillance bots that feed information back to your phone via something faster than wifi — this is the future, remember. We're just not sure if iPhone apps lead to an apocalyptic future, or something nicer. For historical reference: Top 10 iPhone Applications [Lifehacker]

Jurgen Klopp Reveals Why Liverpool Wont Spend Big This Summer
Jurgen Klopp has claimed Liverpool are not set for a busy summer transfer window, instead adding that the likes of Rhian Brewster and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will act like new signings for the club.
Liverpool have been quiet on the transfer front so far this summer, making just one permanent signing in the shape of Dutch youngster Sepp Van Den Berg, who joined the Reds earlier this month from Eredivisie outfit PEC Zwolle.
Following Liverpool's 6-0 win over Tranmere in their first pre-season match, Klopp was asked whether there would be any further activity from the Reds before the transfer window closes in August.
They've been pretty quiet in the transfer window so far, but these six will feel like new signings next season! https://t.co/5YnC8lMZIY

"We brought them already," he said, via Sky Sports. "Oxlade-Chamberlain, Rhian Brewster, they didn't play last year. All the young boys today, they're all new players for us.
"The transfer market is open I don't know exactly until when, when does it finish? [Interviewer: August 8]. August 8! This wonderful country, the whole of Europe had the idea to close the transfer window early and the only country who did it was England finally. So we close it three weeks before the others.
"We will see what we do, but I don't think it will be the biggest transfer window of all time."

Fulham's Harvey Elliott - who appears set for a move to Liverpool - was in attendance for the friendly win on Thursday evening, indicating that a move is only just around the corner.
The latest update regarding 16-year-old Elliott was the revelation that Liverpool have plans to integrate him into the first-team setup upon his arrival, rather than immediately sending him out on loan or keeping him in the development squads.

The Samson Stage X1U is a great product for computer recording. I have a Youtube channel where I do motivational speaking and the X1U is now my go to audio solution. I used to have a Blue Snowball but I often spent a lot of time editing out background noise and was not aloud to show my emotion which is very important for a motivational speaker. The microphone was easy to use and did not require any drivers, I just plugged it into my Mac Book Pro and was ready to go. I tested the range and was able to move 100 feet away from my computer. Every time I want to use it I just turn on the transmitter and the receiver light comes on and I am ready to record.


Yes… what a weird year. It just proves to us we can never take anything for granted.
2012 was a weird year, too.
Who knows? With kids this young, you just never know what they will do. Could fall flat or they could come together with a real chip and go clobber some people.
Our ace in the hole is Bill Self. Believe me… no one wants to draw us come tournament time!

AHM review in new Word Magazine
In the latest issue of the eminently readable UK magazine The Word, there's a nice two-page review of the recent Atom Heart Mother concert at London's Cadogan Hall which featured David Gilmour helping out his friend Ron Geesin, Mun Floyd, the brass section, the choir, and Caroline Dale on the piece of music.
Complete with pictures from the concert, and one from rehearsals, the review gives a good feel of what the event was like for those lucky enough to be there, and also gives some decent background into one of the more overlooked pieces in the Pink Floyd repertoire.
The magazine is on UK store shelves now, and is available in selected outlets worldwide as an import. More details can be found at www.WordMagazine.co.uk.

Inspection of Public Transport Terminals
President Benigno S. Aquino III led the inspection of major passenger terminals around Metro Manila to ensure the safety and convenience of those who are travelling to the provinces in time for the Lenten season.
Together with Transportation and Communications Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya, the President first went to Pier 12 in North Harbor. He toured the facilities of Philippine Span Asia Carrier Corp. (PSACC) and inspected their ticketing booths, check-in counter, help desks, X-ray machine, final security check section and the passengers' pre-boarding area. He boarded the MV Princess of the South that's bound for Cebu and checked the situation of the passengers.
After the inspection in Pier 12, the President and his party went to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminals 3 and 4. He was briefed by General Manager Jose Angel Honrado on the developments being made on the airports. He even inspected the restrooms at NAIA 3 to make sure that the paying passengers find it more comfortable in using a public toilet.
The President then proceeded to the Victory Liner Terminal in Pasay City where he was met by MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino. While inspecting the flow of commuters inside the bus terminal, he was also briefed by Sec. Jun Abaya on the status of operations and arrangements made for the Holy Week. According to PNP Chief Dir. Gen. Allan Purisima, the Philippine National Police is on heightened alert to ensure the safety of the riding public.
