SlashGear Evening Wrap-Up: November 9, 2012
Eric Abent - Nov 9, 2012, 7:57pm CST
Friday is here once again, but before you get too terribly sloshed, be sure you read through our recap of the day's big news! Today we heard that Judge Lucy Koh will examine claims of misconduct on the part of the jury foreman in the Samsung vs. Apple patent trial, and Apple is actually being dragged back to court for a dispute over FaceTime in the iPhone 5 and iPad mini. Speaking of the iPad mini, Apple confirmed today that the LTE iPad minis should be shipping out in the next five days, and the company announced that it will be donating $2.5 million to the Hurricane Sandy recovery effort on behalf of its employees.
Earlier in the day, we learned that ASUS was handing out vouchers to consumers in Europe who bought the 16GB Nexus 7 right before its price drop, and then later on Google announced that it will be offering a "price protection program," for 16GB Nexus 7 purchasers as well. The Nokia Lumia 920T leaked today, and it seems that China Telecom may be getting the iPhone 5 before long. Six companies may be facing fines for alleged CRT price fixing, and after learning a ton about Grand Theft Auto V yesterday, a leak today gave us all new information.
Google said today that it will begin focusing more on mobile than desktop, and Apple was named the most innovative company of the year by Booz and Co. There will be a new Windows 8 security update landing on November 13, and some users are already reporting issues with their Microsoft Surface touch covers. US video game sales were down 25% in October, and today Zynga revealed that it has acquired November Software, even though that purchase happened back in spring.
Angry Birds Star Wars rose to the top of the iOS charts in record time, and BioWare wants your suggestions for its next Mass Effect game. We learned today that climate change might mean a bleak future for the world's coffee beans, and that the Motorola DROID RAZR M will soon be getting an upgrade to Jelly Bean from Verizon. Finally tonight, we compare the the Nokia Lumia 920 to the HTC Windows Phone 8X in a head-to-head battle, we take a closer look at the FanVision displays used during NASCAR races, and Chris Burns has a new interview with NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski. That does it for tonight's Evening Wrap-Up, we hope you enjoy the weekend ahead!

Memes, shilling, and harmful posts are now banned.
Reddit has become the online destination to discuss all things blockchain and cryptocurrency. Hundreds of thousands of users subscribe to dozens of subreddits where everyone from industry experts to hopeful investors talk about where the volatile digital coins are heading next. But that conversation is about to change. The most popular crypto-subreddit on the site, /r/Cryptocurrency, is getting a major overhaul to prevent users from exploiting its popularity for their own benefit.
"After receiving confirmation from the Reddit Admins, of numerous professional and highly-orchestrated manipulation groups being identified, as well as having the Reddit Admins site-ban more than 800+ manipulator accounts in a single day, we set about to make a series of rule changes that we believe will combat these challenges," the subreddit's moderators said in a blog post.
Moderators on Tuesday described major changes coming to the /r/Cryptocurrency subreddit. Most surprising is a ban on "Cryptomemes." As they explained, the issue with these humorous posts is that they often tread the line between comedy and shameless advertising. Conversely, they are used by some to spread fear around rival coins. And because of their popularity, memes typically rise to the front page, hiding valuable news and discussion.
All cryptocurrency memes, including those already on the site, will be moved to a new /r/Cryptocurrencymemes subreddit dedicated to lighthearted material.
The moderators are also tightening their grip on the content of posts. Low-quality posts about a coin, including shilling (stealth advertising) and manipulation, will be banned from standalone posts and only allowed in the "Daily Discussion Thread." One of the trickiest issues the subreddit faces are posts designed to promote a user's own interests. For example, if someone is invested in Dogecoin they might submit a standalone post hyping the coin and urging other members to invest. It's these misinformation campaigns the Reddit moderators are hoping to snuff out.
"/r/Cryptocurrency was designed for important and relevant news about multiple cryptocurrencies, as well as news and detailed discussion about the cryptocurrency community as a whole," the blog post reads.
The blog contains a lengthy list of topics that will no longer be allowed, including public figures posting about coins on social media, guides on buying or trading, non-Fortune 500 companies accepting a new coin type for payment, and changes to logos or brand names.
Lastly, the subreddit is clamping down on posts that "harm the community" including threats, harassment, and unfound rumors. These types of posts are not permitted on any level.
The reaction to the new rules has been mostly positive. Many users agree the community has become infested by covert marketing campaigns and spammy memes, though some fear the changes will be difficult to enforce.
The new rules will be "soft-enforced" starting today, which means violating posts will be removed and users who submitted them will be warned about their infraction. After April 2, violating the rules could result in a ban.

There's no doubt about it; life is pretty hectic when you work full-time and you're a parent. In fact, life is hectic when you're a stay-at-home parent too! As such, it's easy to get burnt out, and when that happens, your health often suffers.
With that in mind, here are a few great tips to staying healthy.
Don't ignore 'niggly' symptoms. Most aches and pains are usually connected to something minor. However, they could be a sign of a more serious health problem and shouldn't be ignored. It doesn't take long to visit the GP, or your local dentist or optometrist, depending on the nature of your problem. Catching conditions in their early stages means they're a lot easier to treat.
Get out in nature. If work is getting you down, make it a priority to get out of the office and into nature. It doesn't matter if it's a woodland, beach or even your local field; just spending some time in more natural surroundings can leave you feeling reinvigorated.
Exercise. Getting active is so important for physical and mental wellbeing. In fact, many people swear by exercise to alleviate their depression or anxiety; making it one of the most effective ways to give yourself a mood-boost. Work out what form of exercise works best for you. Some like to go for a swim, while others prefer to visit the gym or go for a run. It doesn't matter what you do, as long as it's making you feel good.
Take time to unwind. You should never feel guilty about relaxing from time to time. Even if it's just a quick bath in the evening, it all helps to make you feel less stressed; which in turn, enables you to be a better parent. If you can, book yourself a massage; it's the ideal way to twist out those knotted muscles!
Take proper time off. Thanks to technology, we're constantly reminded of work. Whether it's emails pinging into the inbox at the weekend, or clients Skype-calling in the evening, it's hard to avoid it sometimes. Turn your devices off whenever you can get away with it, and enjoy some unadulterated family time.
Treat yourself. There's nothing wrong with a little treat every now and then. If you've been hankering for some new trainers, save up and buy yourself a pair. Or, if you love Colonia Intensa have a little splurge and buy some (providing the finances permit it). Even a small treat can put a smile on your face.
Do something new. If you feel like daily life is grinding you down, do something to break out of it. Take the day off and go mountaineering with friends. Go on an impromptu weekend away with the family. Take a day trip to a nearby city or town. In short, pick something you've always fancied doing and then go for it. It's sure to lift your spirits.


Seafood in the United States is subject to the requirements of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, administered by the Food and Drug Administration. Under the FDA's mandatory fish inspection program and voluntary quality inspection programs, the vast majority of seafood in the marketplace is safe to eat.
The FDA runs a mandatory fish inspection program for all seafood processors and retailers, both domestic and international. Seafood processors are required to implement a program called Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP). Under the HACCP program, seafood is monitored at critical points along the supply chain. The program works by preventing food safety problems from developing, rather than testing food after production to see whether it is safe. Learn more about the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point Program.
NOAA Fisheries Seafood Inspection Program, which is part of the Department of Commerce, is a voluntary, fee-for-service program that works with other agencies to provide science-based inspection services to the seafood industry to ensure safe, high-quality seafood.
To ensure businesses are meeting or exceeding the FDA's HACCP requirements, they can voluntarily request help from the Seafood Inspection Program to develop, implement, and verify a plan that shows they are following the law. NOAA inspectors also inspect for specific quality requirements.
NOAA's consumer safety inspectors and officers travel to fishing vessels, processors, and cold storage facilities around the world to evaluate seafood processors and retailers who have requested an inspection or who are under investigation.
If these businesses pass inspection, they are considered an Approved Establishment, but are subject to all standard regulatory inspections by the FDA. To find out whether your fish has been inspected by NOAA Fisheries Seafood Inspection Program, check the label. It might say U.S. Grade A or USDC inspected.


Evelina was introduced to yoga in 2012. What began as an attempt to soothe her spirit in a time of loss and uncertainty has since evolved into a well of ongoing inspiration, growth, and connectedness to herself. She believes that practicing yoga is a primer for healing and maintaining wellness, and finds deep fulfillment and joy in sharing this with her students.
Evelina's classes are governed by the breath. She will lead you through a challenging yet spacious vinyasa dance that walks the line between effort and ease. Her wish is to create a safe and inviting space in which her students can be their authentic selves and draw joy from their individuality and personal practice.
Forever a student, Evelina began her studies at The Yoga Studio in Magnolia under the guidance of Lee Atwell and Brooke Zwerner, who draw knowledge and inspiration from their Raja Yoga guru Baba Hari Dass. She completed her 200-hour apprenticeship at the studio in 2013 and has been teaching classes all over the Seattle area since. In 2016, Evelina completed an additional 200-hour teacher training with Elvis Garcia and Lara Ederer. Evelina specializes in private yoga sessions, in which she works one-on-one with a student to help fulfill their personal goals. Private sessions are ideal for all students of yoga, and can be particularly helpful to beginners seeking foundational instruction, those wishing to modify a practice due to injury or illness, as well as seasoned practitioners who want to learn or refine more advanced postures.
Evelina is currently pursuing a graduate degree in Nutrition at the University of Washington. Off the mat, she is passionate about holistic health and wellness, finding bliss in the sunshine, and spending time with cats.

ICT cautions European Parliament on TAR delegation
By International Campaign for Tibet|March 25, 2002|
Amsterdam. The International Campaign for Tibet asked the European Parliament to consider the propaganda nature of a delegation from the Tibet Autonomous Region currently visiting Belgium. The delegation, led by TAR government chairman Ragdi, is scheduled to meet the European Parliament leaders in Brussels on March 26, 2002.
In the letter, addressed to European Parliament President Patrick Cox, ICT Europe Director Tsering Jampa, however, said the visit provides an excellent opportunity for the members of the European Parliament to express their concerns about the situation in Tibet directly to the delegation. During the five-day visit, the delegation will have extensive contacts with people from various circles there, Xinhua said on March 24, 2002.
Jampa informed the European Parliament that the visit by the delegation from the Tibet Autonomous Region seems to be part of an ongoing propaganda strategy conducted by the Chinese authorities.
According to a Xinhua report of March 25, 2002, the visit "…is expected to help bridge the ideological gap between the two (the Chinese and European) sides, especially on the issue of separatist movement hawked by the Dalai Lama clique."
In June 2000 Mr. Zhao Qizheng, head of the Information Office of the State Council, made a major speech on launching a new propaganda strategy on Tibet. He said, "…external publicity on Tibet is an important element of [China's] external propaganda. It is also a very important element of our struggle against the Dalai clique and hostile western forces." The TAR delegation includes Mr. Guo Tianlin, head of the TAR propaganda Department; Mr. MA Guanghua (Tibetan Muslim), Vice-President of the Standing Comitee; Mr. Lhapa Phuntsok (Tibetan), Representative of NPC TAR, Director of Institut of Tibetan Studies; Mr. Drubkang Tubden Kedrup (Tibetan) Deputy Director of the Tibetan section of Buddhist Association in China; Mrs. Dekyi (Tibetan), Representative of NPC, Responsible Deputy of Local Government in Shigatse; and Mr. Lobsang (Tibetan), Representaive NPC, Vice-President of Ethnic and Religious Affaires Commission in Lhasa City.
ICT said these Tibetans in the delegation have been carefully selected by the Chinese Communist Party. Some Tibetans simply view them as collaborators, and several of them may be close to what we would consider to be a genuine "collaborator," Jampa added.
The European Parliament has in the past expressed its support to the plight of the Tibetan people through various resolutions. Recalling its 2000 resolutions, the European Parliament repeatedly urged to uphold the fundamental human rights of the Tibetan people and to open the dialogue with the Dalai Lama, without preconditions.
Jampa urged the European Parliament to use this opportunity to question the delegation on issues such as the status of the negotiations initiated by the Dalai Lama to which the Chinese leadership has failed to respond positively.
The delegation is making the visit at the invitation of the European Parliament and the Chamber of Representatives of the Kingdom of Belgium.

Q: C++ SDL Errors that i've researched, still cant fix So I'm trying to compile this.
#include "SDL.h"

int main(int argc, char* args[])
{
    //Start SDL
    SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING);

    //Quit SDL
    SDL_Quit();

    return 0;
}

Shows me these errors:

Error 2   error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _SDL_Quit referenced
  in function
  _SDL_main C:\Users\Scrub\Desktop\C++\SDL__tutorial\main.obj
Error 1   error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _SDL_Init referenced

  _SDL_main C:\Users\Scrub\Desktop\C++\SDL__tutorial\main.obj
Error 3   error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in

Error 4   error LNK1120: 3 unresolved
  externals C:\Users\Scrub\Desktop\C++\SDL__tutorial\Debug\SDL__tutorial.exe    1

I've tried searching these errors everywhere; tried all the supposed fixes, it still does this.
Edit - I've somewhat fixed this(By switching to x86 lib and #undef main), but now when i build and launch it, it shows an application error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000007b)
Still produces almost the same errors with windows subsystem
Error   3   error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup C:\Users\Scrub\Desktop\C++\SDL__tutorial\MSVCRT.lib(crtexew.obj)
Error   2   error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _SDL_Quit referenced in function _SDL_main    C:\Users\Scrub\Desktop\C++\SDL__tutorial\main.obj
Error   1   error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _SDL_Init referenced in function _SDL_main    C:\Users\Scrub\Desktop\C++\SDL__tutorial\main.obj
Error   4   error LNK1120: 3 unresolved externals   C:\Users\Scrub\Desktop\C++\SDL__tutorial\Debug\SDL__tutorial.exe

A: Are you using Visual Studio? It seems like your linker can't find your main function. Right click on your project, go to Properties -> Configuration Properties -> Linker -> System and try changing the Subsystem to either Console or Windows, whichever one works (source). I don't know which supposed fixes you've tried, so hopefully this one solves your issue.
I'm new to Stackoverflow so I hope I did this right and that this helps!

Manchester United said Mourinho has left the club "with immediate effect"
Joser Mourinho has been sacked by Manchester United.
The Portuguese manager had been at the club since May 2016, after signing a three-year contract, reports the MEN.
The news follows Manchester United's 'disastrous' performance against Liverpool at the weekend, where they lost 3-1.
There had been a lot of speculation over the past few weeks that Mourinho would depart the club, after reports of growing discontent.
The club said in a post on social media: "We would like to thank him for his work during his time at Manchester United and wish him success in the future.
"A new caretaker manager will be appointed until the end of the season, while the club conducts a thorough recruitment process for a new full-time manager," the club said.
Reports suggest that Michael Carrick will be installed as interim manager until a temporary manager is found.
Do you think Manchester United were right to sack Mourinho?
We will bring you more on this as we get it and the knock-on effects this will have.

Michael Carrick and Kieron McKenna will take training for the next couple of days.
Reports suggest that Michael Carrick will become interim manager, until a temporary manager is installed at the club.

The tint of yellow is too strong (#FFFF00): 100% luminosity and saturation!
The choice of yellow is not appropriate, with reference to our brand values. We stand for clarity of vision, positivity, hope in the future, trustworthiness, knowledge and cold facts.
Appropriate colours would be in the light and cold range: blue, green. Certainly, hot and passionate colours are 180° from what we are trying to communicate on this site.
The dark, almost black background is also a poor choice. It is attention grabbing for no reason and it communicates the wrong brand values again. White is certainly more appropriate for clarity of vision, positivity, hope in the future, trustworthiness, knowledge and cold facts.
Please rethink the design and remove the yellow and black completely. The mismatch with our brand value makes us look like armchair detectives and it strongly undermines our credibility. Furthermore, it impedes prolonged usage of the site.
It is simply not acceptable.
Mostly in response of Tim Farley, asking for some references in the comments, I'm adding this addendum.
The meanings of color. by Wright, Benjamin; Rainwater, Lee, Journal of General Psychology, 67, 1962, 89-99.
I agree with this - Skeptics currently has the worst UI of any Stackexchange site.
It is too "blocky." Compare, for example, the up/down-vote icons of this site with literally any other stackexchange site.
The side-bar has poor formatting. Look at the side-bar (right-side of the page) - it looks like one large blob of text. Now compare this with the sidebars on other sites.
It has way too much whitespace at the bottom of posts. Compare the location Add comment and Show more comments buttons on this site with other sites. On other sites, the buttons look like they are "grouped" together with the comments as one logical unit, but on this site they look like a completely separate thing.
Several times on this site I have read through the comments on a post, only to realize there were more comments that were hidden - I've never had that issue on other stackexchange sites.
The Add another answer button has the same issue.
The color scheme, again. Particularly, the fact that links are the same color as text - that is a huge no-no. For instance, scroll down to the bottom of the page, where it says "Or ask your own question." You cannot tell at all that that's supposed to be a link, without hovering your mouse over it.
Also, the "up/down-voted" icon is too similar to the "haven't up/down-voted" icon.
Not friendly with older browsers. According to this, 10% of all users still use IE 7. Unless we want to exclude that 10% of users, we should still support at least IE7. Stackoverflow and most other stackexchange sites do; this site does not.

"Prayer is talking to God.
After many years working in a corporate environment , I made the decision to leave my business and concentrate on my passion and dharma, sharing both the mechanics to de-stress and the absolute joy that is Kundalini Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Reiki healing and Yoga therapy, with everyone.
People are attracted to meditation and yoga for many reasons: a spiritual practice, a brain trainer, a mind sharpener, flexibility, strength, a self soothing tool, a way to cope with the stresses of modern day life and sometimes just for a few minutes of peace and quiet.
I can guide you and introduce you to the different ways to find any or all of these, a way to return to yourself.


We have a competitive spirit in the club that underpins our undoubted success across all age groups and forms of the Sport – track and field, cross country, road and trail running. However, we know that runners compete primarily with ourselves to be the best we want to be, so we welcome and cater for runners of all abilities. Our members are a social bunch who enjoy club runs, post event socialising, and other fun activities, including club trips away.
Christchurch Avon Athletic Club is a successful club that encourages not only athletic success but a love for the sport. The positive and friendly environment the club has created allows individuals to achieve personal goals through the ongoing support from coaches both during and outside of the training sessions. I think that Christchurch Avon provides an extremely positive atmosphere, where everyone is welcome whether you are a social or competitive runner. The club helps and guides people of all ages and abilities to develop their athletic skill. The optimism, tenacity and humility of the coaches and other club athletes gives both the athletes and families an incredible support network.
There is a huge amount of work put in by all the coaches and people involved in the club, their positive outlook and sense of humour is always obvious. There is always an opportunity for everyone to get involved and be a part of something and to challenge themselves. From club and interclub competitions, to national and international level competitions the club's support will always be behind you.
I joined Christchurch Avon in the 2015-16 season as an 11-year-old. My brother and I came from cricket, which we did not enjoy. Mum and dad said we had to do something on a Saturday, and I enjoyed athletics a lot at primary school, so we decided to give it a go. Athletics very quickly took over my sporting life.
I have competed at 3 Colgate Games and two Inter provincial Championships over the past 3 years. I have made a lot of new friends at CHAV and have received very good coaching. My coaches have taught me that when I put the effort into training I will be rewarded with better results. I have really enjoyed being involved in the junior club and look forward to moving into seniors next year.
I joined Christchurch Avon when I was 8 years old and have enjoyed it ever since. I enjoy getting to meet new people and see my mates. I joined because some of my friends and I started cross country and we already knew some people at the club. I really like getting to do a variety of different track and field events.
I joined Christchurch Avon a couple of years ago. The reason I choose Christchurch Avon was predominantly due to its location and a similar vibe to a running club I'd been a member of while living in Melbourne, AUS.
I've found the club to be extremely welcoming, friendly and supportive. With two young children, I'm unable to train as much as I'd like nor can I attend a lot of the social activities, however it's great to know that there are a lot of things happening within the club that I could join in on in the future.
I like it's relaxed, yet organised approach to club run activities and it also has a great presence at all the Canterbury Athletics events throughout the year. Christchurch Avon is a great club for all abilities and ages and I'd highly recommend it to all runners, serious or recreational.
Joining Christchurch Avon 3 years ago was one of the best sporting decisions I have ever made. I have played a lot of sport over the years and at 57 thought that was my lot until invited to join a club run. When older runners told me how fast they were running I thought they were exaggerating; they were not. I like to compete in sport so this was the Club for me. They say the All Blacks are successful because of the culture. Christchurch Avon has a similar environment and a very good management structure that involves all ages.
The Club has a lot of success with the younger members who are well coached. For an older athlete it is a delight to see the young athletes enjoying themselves so much while competing.
I would recommend Christchurch Avon to anyone with younger children, older athletes that just want to run for fun, compete or just looking for a change of lifestyle. There is strong evidence that running can turn back the biological clock and at Christchurch Avon there are a lot of older runners still competing.


Get outside…and eat! 2018 Top 20 outdoor patios in the dunes.
It's time once again for our list of favorite outdoor patios! Because there are so many, we tried to feature communities close to the dunes from Miller Beach, IN to Baroda, MI (with quick jumps into Hobart and Chesterton). We've added a few more of our favorites at the bottom. Enjoy!
Wells Street Beach (Miller). Located on the beach in Miller, this concession is a hidden gem. Find burgers, beer and a great place to sit and relax after taking a stroll down the beach. Lots to see, especially on weekends! Enjoy live music and a special menu on Wednesdays when the patio comes alive with Wednesdays at Wells Street.
54 Main Bistro (Hobart). Enjoy your meal at this quaint victorian cottage that over looks the waterfront. Situated on Lake George, this patio is perfect with it's farm to fork changing menu.
Depot Dogs (Portage). If you haven't experienced Depot Dogs, you need to give them a try. Counter service, only open til 5pm, but the best dogs around! Hang at a picnic table, sit under the trees, grab a Green River. It's not summer without a trip to Depot Dogs!
Wagners Ribs (Porter). Wagner's deck is tucked out back and many don't even know it's there! Once you walk outside, you feel like you are in a different world. Enclosed, it's a large space, yet remains cozy. The ribs are delicious and there's always a great beer on tap.

The 33 Trailer
For most people in the modern world, they don't need to think about the consequences of modern day living, it's hard to think that people still need to mine land physically and often in treacherous conditions. In 2010 the world was reminded of just how risky that job can be.
When a 100+ year-old copper & gold mine in Chile suffers considerable damage to the shaft due to a cave-in, the world's news is quick to report the disaster. All life was thought to be lost and there was little hope of finding survivors, however deep inside the mine, a group of 33 men were fighting for survival. As the world learnt of their battle for survival, the onlookers could only imagine the tribulations the men inside faced. Main communication with the outside world was from one miner called Mario who was affectionately named 'super Mario', thanks to his videos, he could relay information to the support crew telling them about the men's wellbeing and progress.
Director Patricia Riggen's The 33 was filmed with the cooperation of the miners and tells their story from 700 meters underground. The 33 is Patricia Riggen's first major directorial role, though in 2012 she shot Girl In Progress starring Eva Mendes.
Clouds Of Sils Maria Trailer
Maria Enders is an ageing actress whose best known role was that of Sigrid in the 20 year old play 'Maloja Snake'. The play centres on the relationship between two women - the young and manipulative Sigrid and her older boss Helena, who eventually commits suicide under Sigrid's destructive influence. Enders is now being scouted again for a revival of the production, though this time in the role of Helena. She is reluctant to take on the project, but does so with the encouragement of her trusted young assistant Valentine. Soon she meets a rising starlet named Jo-Ann Ellis who is to play the new Sigrid, but Maria finds her rude and as destructive as her forthcoming character. Soon the pressure and uncomfortable similarities to herself she sees in Jo-Ann get too much for Maria, who's already overcome with grief following her divorce and the death of a friend. Plus, she starts to feel like she could be losing Valentine, who's beginning to think there's something unhealthy about Maria's reliance on her.

Clouds Of Sils Maria Challenges Kristen Stewart
By Rich Cline in Movies / TV / Theatre on 15 May 2015
Kristen Stewart Juliette Binoche
Kristen Stewart addresses her directing aspirations
Kristen Stewart may owe her global celebrity to the Twilight Saga, but she takes herself seriously as an actor. And this year she became the first American actress to win a Cesar, France's Academy Award, for her performance in Clouds of Sils Maria as Juliette Binoche's personal assistant.
The 25-year-old has been acting since she was 9. "I wanted to be an actor because I was on a movie set as a little kid," she says. "Both my parents work in film - they're crew. I love movies, and I just wanted to be involved. I got really lucky, I auditioned for a while and then started making films. I used to say that I always wanted to be the youngest director. But now I'm like, 'No, I'm going to wait until I'm properly ready to do that.'"
Kristen Stewart & Juliette Binoche star alongside one another
Intriguingly, Clouds of Sils Maria addresses a craziness in show business that Stewart is all too familiar with. The film contrasts serious actresses like Binoche's Maria ("she's interesting and good and strives to do cool stuff that makes people think") and the Jo-Ann character played by Chloe Grace Moretz ("put-together commercial/commodity-type actresses"). And Stewart is determined to be more like Maria, even if society clamours for the Jo-Anns. "That's what I like about this movie," Stewart says. "Why aren't we as a society mentioning the fact that it's so crazy that there are so many people that are so full of it? Any why are we consuming them en masse?"

Clouds Of Sils Maria Review
By Rich Cline
An intriguing Chinese box of a movie, this slightly too-clever drama unpicks the layers of identity that are concealed behind the image of a celebrity. It's so knowing that it can't help but find revelatory meaning here and there, and the performances are raw and fascinating. There's also spectacular scenery and some darkly swelling emotions. But the themes are pushed a bit too hard, and the plot is enigmatic and oddly unresolved.
At the centre is Maria (Juliette Binoche), a famous actress who is aware that as she ages she's entering a new phase in her career. She's headed with her personal assistant Val (Kristen Steward) to a special event in Sils-Maria, Switzerland, to honour Wilhelm, the director who made Maria a star. But Wilhelm dies just before they arrive, so the event turns into a memorial instead. At the funeral, theatre director Klaus (Lars Eidinger) approaches Maria about starring in a new version of Wilhelm's iconic play Maloja Snake, which refers to an unusual cloud formation in this Alpine region. But this time Maria would play the older woman, while rising-star Jo-Ann (Chloe Grace Moretz) takes the ingenue role that sparked Maria's career. While Jo-Ann catches headlines for her bad-girl antics, Maria asks Val to help her get a grip on the alien older character she will be playing.
The story spirals out from here with swirling angles of meaning, as the play within the film becomes entangled with the contrasting public and private lives of the celebrities. Thankfully, even though everything is very pointed, the actors deliver remarkably off-handed performances that are very easy to identify with, revealing their characters' private thoughts and insecurities. There is of course also a further meta-level to all of this, as Jo-Ann's paparazzi-baiting lifestyle echoes experiences Stewart herself has had.

March 24, 1997: The Day Lauren Bacall Was Robbed Of An Oscar
By Michael West in Movies / TV / Theatre on 13 August 2014
Lauren Bacall Juliette Binoche
Lauren Bacall should have the 'Oscar winner' Lauren Bacall.
After over 40-plus years as one of Hollywood's leading ladies, Lauren Bacall - who died on Tuesday (August 12, 2014) aged 89 - had to wait until 1997 for her first Oscar nomination. The 72-year-old had turned in a tour-de-force performance in Barbra Streisand's The Mirror Has Two Faces - out-acting the screen legend herself, as well as Jeff Bridges and Pierce Brosnan.
The Inimitable Lauren Bacall [Getty/1954]
Bacall was considered a shoo-in to win the Academy Award (think Daniel Day-Lewis for Lincoln) after winning best supporting actress at the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards, but things didn't go to plan on the night. As has happened so often since, the Academy picked its movie of the year - The English Patient - and ran with it, dishing out awards for what seemed like the entire cast. Though what on paper appeared a mere formality became one of the biggest shocks in Oscars history - the French actress Juliette Binoche winning best supporting actress for Anthony Minghella's romantic drama. Bacall's attempt at "I'm happy for you" applause became one of the most talked about moments of the ceremony.

Camille Claudel 1915 Review
With a stripped-down, bare-faced performance, Juliette Binoche is utterly wonderful in this tense French drama. Based on the real story of artist Camille Claudel, who was locked in an asylum by her family, the film is an unofficial sequel to the 1988 biopic. And it also continues to provocatively explore the impact of religion in society that has infused writer-director Bruno Dumont's work from La Vie de Jesus (1997) to Outside Satan (2011).
The film picks up Camille's story after she has split up with the sculptor Rodin and established herself as an artist in Paris. But her family is worried that she is living the wrong kind of life, so in 1913 they had her committed to an isolated psychiatric hospital. Over the next two years, her doctor (Robery Leroy) and the attending nuns know that she shouldn't be here, especially since the constant noise from the inmates interferes with any attempt to carry on with her work. When her younger brother Paul (Jean-Luc Vincent) comes for a visit, Camille hopes that he'll finally agree to let her out, but his intense religious believes convince him that the arts are evil and that the best way to care for his sister is to cruelly lock her away.
Yes, Dumont is drawing all kinds of parallels here with modern society and the fears people have of art they don't understand, which would probably include many of Dumont's films. But aside from a brief section that centres on Paul, the film is tightly focussed on Camille, and Binoche lets us see right through her. It's a wrenchingly raw performance that reveals all of Camille's conflicting inner emotions, with glimmers of hope and even bliss as well as the deep yearning to have her old life back so she can once again express herself artistically. By locking in so closely on Camille, Dumont and Binoche force us to experience her incarceration with her, including the daily irritations and small mercies.

Words And Pictures Trailer
Jack Marcus is an eccentric English teacher at a prep school in the country who used to be intensely passionate about his line of work. However, over the years he has become increasingly demotivated by his students' lack of zest; they're well-behaved and polite, but not enthusiastic enough for Jack who spends most of his time drinking away his troubles when he's not working. The school has just employed a new art teacher called Dina Delsanto, who is also bitter about how her life has turned out considering she was once one of the top abstract artists in her field. Jack is facing losing his job if his performance review suffers, but he finds himself deeply attracted to Dina and filled with a new passion as he sets out to prove to the haughty artist that words are much more meaningful than pictures. As the two engage in a creative battle, it seems their lives are quickly becoming reinvigorated.

Godzilla Review
For a blockbuster about gigantic radioactive monsters, this is a remarkably humane movie. But then that's no surprise for a film from Gareth Edwards, whose micro-budget Monsters (2010) showed that effects-based movies don't need to sacrifice characterisation and real emotion. So while this film is still a big action romp, it's also cleverly grounded by believable people.
It centres on Ford (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), whose life was upended in 1999 by a nuclear accident in Japan that killed his scientist mother (Juliette Binoche) and turned his father into a conspiracy-theory nutcase. Now just as Ford returns from military service to his wife (Elizabeth Olsen) and young son, he's called back to Japan as his dad spots tremors similar to those 15 years earlier. And as three terrifying creatures rise out of the earth, Ford is drafted in to help protect humanity. Following the beasts via Hawaii and Las Vegas to an epic confrontation in his hometown San Francisco, Ford works with scientists (Ken Watanabe and Sally Hawkins) and military commanders (David Strathairn and Richard T. Jones), eventually realising that the big-daddy monster Godzilla might actually be trying to help.
One of the more interesting aspects of Max Borenstein's script is that it reveals fairly early on that humanity is responsible for all of this and also helpless to avert the coming cataclysm. And yet the military machine does what it can, firing pathetic bullets and mobilising nuclear warheads because that's all it knows how to do. This approach adds a moral complexity that plays out in the decisions the characters have to make along the way. Taylor-Johnson is fine as the bland but muscled everyman at the centre, but Cranston steals the film with a far more textured role. Watanabe proves to be a master at the distant stare, while everyone else just runs and/or yells like real people would.

Most of the times, measurement in electronic circuits, our requirement is measuring DC voltage. Normally, we will set the multi-meter to DC voltage mode and check the voltage levels at various points on the PCB. Mostly, our requirement lies between 5V to 15V DC. The circuit shown is simple, occupies less space and can directly connect to the DC voltage for measurement. To minimize the size and power consumption, 8 pin MCU and 0.96" OLED is used in the circuit.
The Miniature Volt meter has two modes of operation. In the first mode (12V battery mode), It can be directly connected to 12V battery, to measure the voltage and monitor the status of the battery. In the second mode (20VDC volt meter mode), it works as a normal DC voltmeter, which can measure from 0.0 to 20.0 VDC.
Two jumpers J1 and J2 have been provided to choose between mode1 and mode 2. Once the mode has been selected, the Attiny85 MCU continuously measure voltage through its ADC channel, at pin 7 and convert it to digital value. The value of ADC are converted to corresponding voltage value using an algorithm in the code. In the battery mode, depending on the value of ADC different status of battery (LOW, Charged, Over Charged etc) along with the current voltage level of the battery is displayed on the OLED. In the voltmeter mode, the corresponding voltage level are displayed on the OLED.
OLED 0.96" - 1 no.
3mm LEDs - 2 nos.
100uF 50V - 1 no.
10uF 16V - 1 no.
0.1uF disc - 1 no.
5K trimpot - 2 nos.
10K 0.25W resistance - 2 nos.
4.7K 0.25W resistance - 2 nos.
8.6K 0.25W resistance - 1 no.
2.2K 0.25W resistance - 1 no.
1K 0.25W resistance - 1 no.
9V battery - 1 no.
2.54 mm Jumpers - 2 nos.
SPDT switch or sliding switch - 1 no.
Misc. = connectors,PCB,IC base, berg strip etc.
IC1 (7805) is 5V voltage regulator used for power supply of IC2 and OLED. IC2 is 8 pin MCU (ATTINY85) is heart of the circuit. A voltage divider is used to provide input to MCU. Controller takes max 5V as input at ADC pin. Voltage divider is used to bring the voltage below 5V.
OLED (organic light emitting diode) module of 0.96" display (with 4 pin connections) is used here to make the total project compact. Only two pins (SDA and SCL) are used for data transfer to the OLED display and two more pins for power supply. The display has 128x64 pixel resolution. The small text is displayed using 16X8 bit font size, where as the measured voltage is displayed as big size font using 32x24 bit font size.
In this project, ATtiny85 is programmed to display charging status of 9V or 12V battery (as per the mode selected) by measuring the terminal voltage of the battery. The MCU is coded with embedded C using AVR Studio 4.
#define BLINKER 0b00000001 :- Constant used to blink LED as indication that MCU is working properly.
#define BATT12V 0B00000010 :- Constant used to set 12V battery mode.
#include "OLED_LIB.C" :- General purpose library containing functions for working with 0.96" OLED. This library can be used with any AVR microcontroller. Note that OLED_LIB defines pin 2 as SDA and pin 3 as SCL of ATtiny85.
#include "FONT_BASIC_16x8.H" :- This header file contains 16x8 pixel (small) size Alphabet, numbers and symbols.
#include OLED_NUMS_32x24.H :- This header file contains 32x24 pixel (big) size only numbers to display voltage value.
ADC_init() :- function used to initialize ADC channel.
OLED_floodfill() :- function used to display bright light by passing parameter 0xFF or clear OLED by passing parameter 0x00.
1) When the Voltmeter circuit is powered on, first of all, the OLED is initialised and checked by displaying a bright light. Then, the OLED display is cleared and a welcome message – "Welcome to Miniature Voltmeter" is flashed on it. The MCU starts blinking an LED to indicate that it is working properly. The MCU checks the status of battery mode (12V or 20V mode) by checking the digital input at pin 6 of Attiny85. Now the controller is ready to take voltage readings.
2) The user can take voltage reading of a standard (or known) voltage source and adjust the respective pot (as per the current battery mode) to calibrate the voltmeter. In this circuit, the voltmeter is calibrated using a standard 12V voltage source where ADC reading is adjusted to 900 (for 12V input) in 12V battery mode and 750 (for 12V input) in 20V battery mode. After calibration, the miniature voltmeter is expected to give exactly accurate voltage readings.
3) The MCU senses the voltage from 12V or 20V battery at pin 7 (ADC Channel 1) using readADC() function and store that read value to variable A. The ATtiny85 has 10-bit ADC channel, so the ADC reading (stored in variable A) can range from 0 to 1023. For comparison of voltage to indicate battery status, ADC reading of 750 is equivalent to 12 V in case of 20V battery mode and ADC reading of 900 is equivalent to 12V in case of 12 V battery mode.
4) The value stored in A is converted to voltage and stored in variable V by assuming that value of A being 750 ( in case of 20V battery mode) or 900 (in case of 12V battery mode) is equivalent to real voltage of 12V. Note that conditions for indicating battery status are defined in the code accordingly. The above assumption is derived from calibration of the miniature voltmeter. In 20V battery mode, on using known voltage of 12V, ADC reading is calibrated to 750 using the pot. Similarly, in 12V battery mode, on using known voltage of 12V, ADC reading is calibrated to 900 using the respective pot. Note that the conversion of ADC reading to voltage is here dependant on calibration. The standard formula for single ended conversion (Vin = ADC*Vref/1024) is not used in the code considering the fact that resting voltage from different batteries can be different and may not fit to a standard calibration equation.
5) The value of V is compared in else-if statements to indicate charging status of attached battery.
6) The value of V is formatted to decimal notation and read voltage is shown on the OLED display.
7) The ADC reading stored in A is compared with 1000 to check if the voltage exceeds the designated range.
After assembling the circuit on a PCB, connect power supply by turning SW1 towards 9V battery. Then load/burn the miniVoltMeter.hex file to the MCU (ATTINY85) using any AVR programmer.
Initially, OLED displays all pixels (128x64) in ON mode, makes the display bright for a while. Then displays a welcome message as WELCOME TO MINIATURE VOLT METER. Then displays the random voltage, which is yet to be calibrated.
Now, set the board for 12V BATTERY MODE, by connecting Jumper J1 and disconnecting jumper J2. Then, connect a known voltage source of about 12VDC or a 12V battery to the signal terminals (or connect a multi-meter parallel to terminals to know exact input voltage). Now, set the trim-pot VR1, to show the display to the correct voltage on the OLED.
Now, set the board for VOLT METER MODE, by disconnecting jumper J1 and connecting jumper J2. Then, with the same voltage source as input signal set the trim-pot VR2, to show the display to the correct voltage on the OLED.
Now, calibration is complete and the circuit is ready for use. Disconnect the signal input and set the board for one of the modes as per the requirement.
There are two modes of operation. 12 V and 20V.
For 12V battery mode, connect jumper J1 and disconnect jumper J2. The voltage is read by ADC channel of MCU and displays the battery voltage on OLED using big font. The top-line of OLED shows as 12V BAT. METER and bottom-line shows the status of the battery as BATT.ABSENT / BATT.DEAD / BATT.WEAK / BATT.GOOD / OVER CHRG. etc.
For 20VDC volt-meter mode, disconnect jumper J1 and connect jumper J2. the input signal voltage is read by ADC channel of the MCU and displays on OLED with big font at center. Here, the top-line of OLED shows VOLT METER and bottom-line shows 20 DC VOLTS.
In both the modes, if the input voltage exceeds the ADC input voltage value (about 5VDC), the top-line blinks with the message OVERFLOW. In case, to read weak signal or voltages less than 8VDC, SW1 must be turned towards 9V battery connection. The miniature Volt Meter circuit can be used as quick DC volt meter for desktop purposes, voltage and status monitor for Battery chargers, Battery banks etc.


Very good value B&B in the centre of Glossop.
As said earlier, Peakdale Lodge is on the main road but my room - number 1 - was very quiet. An ideal stop for me even though I had to leave too early for breakfast.
Very friendly and helpfull staff always with smile.
We felt very comfortable and welcome, not just like in the hotel. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. We would like to say many thanks for all advices for our afternoon journey accross Peak District.
For £30 I have no absolutely zero complaints.
I have travelled the world, i have sampled all kinds of hotels, hostels, motels.
I stayed in many b&b's. A british b&b is hard to beat for hospitality and i rate peakdale lodge as one of the best. Easy to find, close to most attractions, comfortable and pleasant, great english breakfast. Mine host even repaired my glasses when they fell apart, what else can you wish for ?
We were struggling to find accommodation at short notice unless we paid around £150 per night and/or had to book minimum 2 nights.
This B& B wasnt quite were we wanted to stay but we would not hesitate booking again. Very comfortable room and very hospitable owner. Excellent chinese round the corner too!
Quiet, Peaceful, great host and fantastic breakfast!
On arrival at Peak-dale Lodge I had an awful feeling of Deja Vu.
Right on the main Rd through town and, from experience it was going to be a noisy stay, It wasn't. So quiet I've not slept so well in ages. Lovely host. My only complaint is that I had to walk an extra 5 miles next day to burn off the fabulous breakfast.

Nebraska's drunken driving deaths totaled 60 accounting for 28.4% of all traffic fatalities in the state.
Behind each number is someone's father, mother, wife, husband, child or friend. Each digit is a loved one who lost their life because of drunken driving.
MADD cares about the faces of people behind those numbers. Their stories are what fuels to do what we can for the suffering victims of alcohol-impaired driving.
MADD want to educate people about the dangers and effects of drunken driving. Through our car donations program in Nebraska, we fund our activities to debunk misconceptions and teach drivers the importance of responsible driving.
We know the heartache of an untimely loss of a loved one because of a drunk driver. We support grieving individuals and help them recover from this dark time in their lives. We want to show victims that there is somebody who cares and understands the experiences they are going through.
Join us in our advocacy to fight drunken driving by donating your car to our Nebraska affiliate. Filling out the form only takes a few minutes, but the time you spend will make a lasting impact on a victim's or survivor's life.


I begin by offering the trustees of my alma mater, Williams College, a bit of advice: Establish a board level standing committee on free expression (COFE). Provide COFE with the staff and independence of the college's outside audit firm. COFE's purpose, to ensure free expression, is analogous to that of the audit committee. Free expression is at least as important as financial soundness, and there is no reason to believe that the former requires any less oversight than does the latter. To an "Eph" who claims there is no free speech problem at Williams, I ask two, admittedly barbed, questions: How could you possibly know? Do you recommend that Williams disband the audit committee?
An "Eph," by the way, is the name given a matriculant at Williams College, in honor of its founder, Colonel Ephraim Williams. You learn something new every day.
An additional thought: A good chair for the school's new COFE would be Bill Bennett (Williams class of '65).

What Mubarak's acquittal means for Egypt
Yoram Meital / September 3, 2017 /	309
On 13 March 2017, the legal saga of the trial of Hosni Mubarak ended. The deposed autocrat, who was convicted and sentenced to life in prison for his complicity in the killing of hundreds of demonstrators and embezzlement on a grander scale, was acquitted by Egypt's Court of Cassation and freed from his detention. "The trial of the century", as Egyptians have dubbed Mubarak's prosecution, began soon after millions of Arabs took to the streets all over the Middle East, and it was concluded against the backdrop of the deep frustration of most from the results of the Arab Spring. This legal ordeal is but one prominent manifestation of the decisive role that the legal system played during the struggle over the reign of power following the toppling of Mubarak.
Mubarak's trial symbolizes the deep divide between the revolutionaries who demand a fundamental change, and those who support the continuation of the regime that the ousted president inherited from his predecessors, Anwar Sadat and Gamal Abd al-Nasser. The latter, who led the Free Officers coup (23 July 1952), strove to establish a democratic system of government that raised the banner of equality and justice. Their social and political achievements notwithstanding, Nasser and his confederates laid the foundations for an authoritarian government that would reign well into the next century.
During the transition stage of the July Revolution, the government made intensive use of decrees, laws, and constitutional declarations. Two special courts, conferred with exceptional powers, prosecuted more than one thousand of the junta's opponents—the majority of whom were members of the Muslim Brothers, but also liberals and communists. Although the Revolution's Court and the People's Court were dissolved at the end of the 1950s, the long-standing Egyptian practice of adjudicating citizens before special tribunals would reach new heights in the decades to come. The widespread use of these tribunals, including the military variety, turned this exception into the rule.
As the popular uprising against Mubarak gained momentum, a riveting public discourse took shape in Egypt that compared the revolution of July 1952 to that of January 2011. In both cases, a strongman's ouster raised hopes among many Egyptians that a "new beginning" was just around the corner. Additionally, each of the attendant transition phases was undergirded by the following developments: a military council assumed control over the daily running of the state; a national state of emergency was declared; and a fierce political struggle erupted over the contours of the new dispensation. What is more, the acting governments took extraordinary measures, foremost among them suspending the constitution and disbanding parliament. Similar to the July Revolution, the judicial system and the courts have indeed loomed large in the on-going struggle over the new dispensation, including summarily arresting over 30,000 political rivals. Many of the detainees were ultimately prosecuted by military courts, which meted out harsh punishments on them.
Six years after the impressive civil uprising that demanded "the overthrow of the regime," Egypt under President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi allegedly reflects the complete return of the authoritarian regime. However, the 2011 popular uprising and the toppling of Mubarak were just the beginning of a transition phase, the fate of which no one can predict. On the very day of 14 July 1789, when the Bastille was taken, or on 23 July 1952, when King Faruq was ousted, no one could have known that a Great Revolution was born in France, just as a revolution in Egypt.
All told, the January Revolution jolted the political awareness of millions of people from different walks of life, not least Egyptian Millennials. Many of them oppose the restoration of the authoritarian regime and fear that President Sisi is but a contemporary pharaoh. Although the field marshal's meteoric rise to power constitutes a major milestone, it is doubtful that this was the last tidal wave of the January Revolution.
The current dramatic developments in Egypt show that political trials that take place throughout a transition phase generate rhetoric that plays a crucial role in the denouement of political struggles, nourishes the creation of new historical narratives, and help shape both the regime and opposition's public image.

Kenneth Douglass Hubbs (December 23, 1941 – February 13, 1964) was an American professional baseball player. He played in Major League Baseball as a second baseman for the Chicago Cubs from 1961 to 1963, earning the 1962 Rookie of the Year Award. He was killed in a plane crash near Provo, Utah prior to the 1964 season.
In his short big-league career was considered to be an excellent fielder; assessments of his hitting were more mixed.[1][2][3] In 1962, he became the first rookie to win a Gold Glove Award, and set several fielding records. Those achievements helped him win the National League Rookie of the Year Award that season.[4] At the time of his death, Hubbs was considered to be one of the best defensive second basemen in the game.[5]

Hubbs was born in Riverside, California and resided in nearby Colton.
He played in the 1954 Little League World Series.[6] Colton represented California. They beat Virginia in the first round and Illinois in the second. In the final game of the Series, Schenectady beat California 5-3.[7] Two future big league players played on the Schenectady team: Jim Barbieri, with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Bill Connors, with the Chicago Cubs, both in 1966. Highlights of Hubbs playing defense at shortstop were captured on film.[8] The video includes a play where Hubbs ran from the shortstop position to back up the second baseman and caught a bloop fly into short right field.
He was elected ASB president at Colton High School his senior year.
In high school, he excelled in 3 sports, baseball, basketball and football. He was honored by CIF in all three. In 1958-59, he was a high school All-American in two sports, football (quarterback) and basketball. He was recruited by Notre Dame to play quarterback and by UCLA's John Wooden to play basketball.
"Ken was undoubtedly the best football player I ever coached,' said Joe Lash former Colton High School football coach. His basketball coach, Tom Morrow, echoed, "Kenny Hubbs was the best all-around basketball player I ever saw for a boy his age." [9]
Minor league career
Hubbs signed as an amateur free agent with the Chicago Cubs prior to the 1959 season.
That year, he played for Morristown, Tennessee in the Class D Appalachian League. He played outfield and shortstop in the all-rookie competition. He was in 59 games, had 198 at-bats and a batting average of .298. His 50 runs batted in and 8 home runs were enough to earn a nomination for player of the year in the Appalachian League.
On July 18, 1959, he led the Morristown Cubs to a 20-0 victory over the first place Salem Pirates. Hubbs and teammate Jim Purslow each hit 2 home runs and a double. Each man scored 5 runs while the entire Pirate team was held to 4 hits.[10]
Morristown continued the offensive barrage 5 days later against Wytheville. Hubbs started a 7 run first inning with a home run, and his team won the slugfest, 9-7.[11]
Organized baseball initiated a player draft in 1959, in an attempt to cut down on large signing bonuses given to young players. The Cubs' AAA club in Ft. Worth recalled Hubbs in October and then purchased his contract outright in November. The end result of this maneuvering was to protect Hubbs from being drafted by another club. This was a sign that the Cubs clearly expected Hubbs to make the major league team in the near future.
Hubbs went to the Cubs' rookie camp for spring training in 1960 as a shortstop/outfielder.[12]
Major league career
Hubbs in 1964
During the 1961 season, the Cubs played Don Zimmer and Jerry Kindall at second base, both of whom struggled at the plate: while Zimmer made the National League All-Star team that year, he hit only .252 and Kindall .242.[13] Hubbs was called up from the minor leagues to give the Cubs more offense at second base. He made his major league debut on September 10, 1961 against the Philadelphia Phillies, with three at-bats, two hits and one run batted in in a 12-5 Cub loss.[14] He played in ten games in late 1961, with five hits in 26 at-bats and one home run.[13]
The New York Mets drafted Zimmer in the 1961 expansion draft and the Cubs traded Kindall, leaving Hubbs as the starting second baseman for ninth-place Chicago in 1962. He played in 160 games that season, with 172 hits with five home runs and 49 runs batted in.[15] He led all National League rookies in games, hits, doubles, triples, runs and batting average.[16] For that he was named the Rookie of the Year, earning 19 out of 20 votes and becoming the second consecutive Cubs player to win the award after Billy Williams had won the award the season before. Not until Jerome Walton in 1989 would another Cub win the Rookie of the Year Award. In the field, Hubbs set records with 78 consecutive games and 418 total chances without an error, breaking Bobby Doerr's Major League Baseball major league records,[5] making him the first rookie to win a Gold Glove Award. He also led the league in two less desirable categories that season by striking out 129 times and grounding into 20 double plays.[15] On September 30, he started a triple play in the final game of the season against the Mets.[17]
Hubbs was well liked by his teammates. Ernie Banks remembered, "Lots of young players do something special and you can't talk to them any more. Not Ken. One day, he got seven hits in a doubleheader. Pretty good for a rookie. But he didn't talk or act any differently than when he didn't get a hit." He was known for his faith. Reporters often noted that he did not smoke or drink alcohol, and that he attended church services while on the road with the team. With Hubbs's encouragement, teammate Ron Santo quit smoking.[18]
In 1963 Hubbs played in 155 games and batted only .235 with eight home runs and 47 runs batted in,[15] but his superior fielding helped the Cubs finish over .500 at 82-80.[5]
Hubbs had a fear of flying. He decided to challenge this fear head-on by taking flying lessons[1] in the winter between 1963 and 1964, and received his pilot's license in January 1964. On February 12 of that year, Hubbs flew to Provo, Utah with his friend Denny Doyle to visit Doyle's wife, who had just given birth to the couple's child.
A storm developed in the Utah Valley the morning of February 13. Hubbs thought he could beat the storm and decided to attempt the return flight. He and Doyle took off in a red and white Cessna 172 from Provo Airport, which sits on the edge of Utah Lake. He hadn't filed a flight plan but just told airport staff that the pair were heading for Morrow Field near Colton, California.[4] Euliss Hubbs, Ken's father, called to report that they had not arrived in Colton by Friday the 14th. A search began Saturday morning in areas of Utah, Nevada and California along a route the pair might have taken.
Utah's civil aeronautics director, Harlon Bement, noted there had been no record of radio contact with Hubbs after takeoff, adding, "This means the plane could be fairly close [by]."[19] Rescuers found the wreckage a quarter mile south of Bird Island in Utah Lake. Both Hubbs and Doyle died in the crash. The weather temperature was estimated as -1 °F, and it had been snowing heavily.[5] Hubbs's funeral was held several days later in his hometown of Colton. Services were held in the Colton High School Whitmer Auditorium because of the huge crowd that wanted to view Hubbs's casket. Fellow Cubs Ron Santo, Ernie Banks, Glen Hobbie and Don Elston were among the pallbearers.[5] He was buried at Montecito Memorial Park, in Colton.[20]
Jim Murray of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "Kenneth Douglass Hubbs was more than just another baseball player. He was the kind of athlete all games need. A devout Mormon, a cheerful leader, a picture-book player, blond-haired, healthy, generous with his time for young boys; he was the kind of youth in short supply in these selfish times."[21]
Hubbs's uniform number 16 was never retired by the Cubs, but was kept out of circulation for about three years before being issued to another player.
After his death, the Ken Hubbs Foundation was organized in his honor. Since 1964, the Ken Hubbs Award has been given to the best high school male athletes in the greater San Bernardino, California area. Colton High School has a gym named after Hubbs, which features a collection of trophies and other memorabilia.[22]
In 1964, Topps issued a special card for Hubbs with a black band and reverse white text reading, "In Memoriam" on the card face. The card was numbered 550.[23]

Epoxide hydrolase 3 (ABHD9, EH3, EPHX3), encoded by the EPHX3 gene, is the third defined isozyme in a set of epoxide hydrolase isozymes, i.e. the epoxide hydrolases.  This set includes the Microsomal epoxide hydrolase (also termed epoxide hydrolase 1, EPHX1, mEH, and EH1); the epoxide hydrolase 2 (also termed soluble epoxide hydrolase, EPHX2, sEH and EH2); and the far less well defined enzymatically, epoxide hydrolase 4 (also termed ABHD7 and EH4). All four enzyme contain an Alpha/beta hydrolase fold suggesting that they have Hydrolysis activity. EH1, EH2, and EH3 have been shown to have such activity in that they add water to epoxides of unsaturated fatty acids to form vicinal cis (see cis-trans isomerism) products; the activity of EH4 has not been reported. The former three EH's differ in subcellular location, tissue expression patterns, substrate preferences, and thereby functions. These functions include limiting the biologically actions of certain fatty acid epoxides, increasing the toxicity of other fatty acid epoxides, and contributing to the metabolism of drugs and other xenobiotics.

History
EH3 was first named ABHD9 owing to its possession of a particular Protein domain, the Alpha/beta hydrolase fold or α/β hydrolase fold domain. This domain is found in more than 30 other human hydrolytic enzymes including the four epoxide hydrolases. The gene for EH3 (EPHX3) was discovered on chromosome locus 19p13.13 in sequencing the human.genome Based on its amino acid sequence, it was projected to encode a protein with an α/β hydrolase fold domain; the encoded protein was therefore dubbed ABHD9. Some 10 years later, ABHD9 was defined to possess the ability to hydrolyze certain fatty acid epoxides.

Expression
Similar to mEH but unlike sEH, EH3 is membrane-bound enzyme.  Based on the expression of its mRNA in mouse tissue, EH3 has a very different distribution than mEH or sEH: EH3 expression is high in skin, lung, tongue, esophagus, and stomach; intermediate in pancreas and eye, visceral fat, lymph nodes, spleen, aortic arch, and heart; low in liver, kidney, testis, ovary intestine, and brain; and very low in skeletal muscle. Its expression in human tissues has not yet been reported.

Activity and function
ABHD9 first drew attention is studies that validated that its gene, EPHX3, was hypermethylated on CpG sites in its Promoter (genetics) in human prostate cancer tissues, particularly in the tissues of more advanced or, base on morphological criteria (i.e. Gleason score), more aggressive diseases. This allows that the gene silencing of EPHX3 due to promoter hypermethylation may contribute to the onset and/or progression of prostate cancer.  Similar CpG site hypermethylations in the promoter of EPHX3 have been validated for colorectal adenocarcinomas.  As similar promoter methylation pattern, although not yet validated, was also found in human malignant melanoma tissues and human gastric cancer cell lines.  These studies allow but certainly do not prove that the silencing of EPHX (i.e. failure to be expressed as ABHD9 protein) is involved in the development and/or progression of certain cancers in humans.

More recently, ABHD9 was characterized as possessing epoxy hydrolase activity for metabolizing epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and epoxides of linoleic acid (i.e. vernolic acids [also termed leukotoxins] to their corresponding diols. For example, it metabolizes one particular EET (14,15-epoxy-5Z,8Z,11Z-eicosatrienoic acid) as follows:

In this particular reaction, the enzyme inactivates the EET and thereby may function to limit the biological activity of this as well as the other EETs upon which it acts in, for example, regulating blood pressure (see epoxyeicosatrienoic acids. In its hydrolysis one isomer of vernolic acid (12S,13R-epoxy-cis-9-octadecenoic acid)

to a diol, however, the enzyme increases its toxicity in, for example, contributing to acute respiratory distress syndromes (see vernolic acid).  The enzyme thereby may function to limit the cell signaling activity of the EETs yet contribute to the toxic actions of linoleic acid epoxides.

While mEH and to a lesser extent sEH metabolize drugs, foreign toxic chemicals, and certain endogenous compounds that are not simple fatty acids (see Microsomal epoxide hydrolase and epoxide hydrolase 2), the activity of EH3 on such substrates, while likely, has not yet been reported.

And His work before Him.
And gently lead those who are with young.
And calculated the dust of the earth in a measure?
Or as His counselor has taught Him?
And #Job 36:22, 23taught Him in the path of justice?
Look, He lifts up the isles as a very little thing.
Nor its beasts sufficient for a burnt offering.
And #Ps. 62:9they are counted by Him less than nothing and worthless.
18To whom then will you #Ex. 8:10; 15:11; 1 Sam. 2:2; Is. 46:5; (Mic. 7:18); Acts 17:29liken God?
Or what likeness will you compare to Him?
And the silversmith casts silver chains.
#1 Sam. 5:3, 4; Is. 41:7; 46:7; Jer. 10:3To prepare a carved image that will not totter.
21#Ps. 19:1; Is. 37:26; Acts 14:17; Rom. 1:19Have you not known?
And spreads them out like a #Job 36:29; Ps. 19:4tent to dwell in.
He makes the judges of the earth useless.
And the whirlwind will take them away like stubble.
And my just claim is passed over by my God"?
