Terri Hooley may not be a household name, but to a music fan and punk lover in 1970s Belfast, he is a local treasure. Now, in his biopic ‘Good Vibrations’, named after the record store and label he owned in the city, the story can be told of how he gave punk a voice in a place city at a very troubled time.
Starring Richard Dormer and Jodie Whittaker, ‘Good Vibrations’ charts the journey of Terri (Dormer) from rock-bottom pub DJ to store owner and independent record producer. The Belfast Film Festival website lists the following synopsis, “Terri Hooley is a radical, rebel and music-lover in 1970s Belfast when the bloody conflict known as the Troubles shuts down his city. As all his friends take sides and take up arms, Terri opens a record shop on the most bombed half-mile in Europe | and calls it Good Vibrations. Through it he discovers a compelling voice of resistance in the cityâs nascent underground punk scene. Galvanising the young musicians into action, he becomes the unlikely leader of a motley band of kids and punks who join him in his mission to create a new community, an alternative Ulster, to bring his city back to life.”

Almost Real Art
A Satirical Archaeology of the RA Collections and Library by Mark Hampson
1 November 2012—17 February 2013
In the Tennant Gallery
Since 2010, artist Mark Hampson has been working 'in residence' at the Royal Academy and from his studio in Kent on a collaboration with the RA Collections, Library and Archives. Exploring the RA’s holdings during this two-year period, he has created a satirically inspired 'archaeological' response to its complexities of information and histories. The resulting work exploits and distorts the 'official' biography of the RA, corrupting the apparent facts to produce newly imagined narratives that are rooted in the lives and works of some of the great artists who have been connected with the Academy.
Hampson’s imaginings take concrete form in a series of mock-historical artworks combining image and text, made in collaboration with commercial sign-makers. Alongside these, the artist offers up alternative versions of art societies, unions and academies that encourage us to ask why places like the RA exist, how its history has shaped it, and how different it might have been had it been subjected | to other influences and ideas. Registering the enormous impact that individual personalities have had on the institution, he explores the clichéd image of the Romantic artist as eccentric, obsessive and self-mythologising. Throughout, however, | [

When Andrea Pirlo struck his delicately chipped penalty for Italy against England, he was aping one of the UEFA European Championship’s greatest-ever moments. The technique may now be a common feature of the game but it dates back to Antonin Panenka’s penalty in the 1976 final, which has left an indelible mark on football.

The method exploded into the public consciousness in a game in which the pressure couldn’t have been much higher. After Czechoslovakia had played out a 2-2 draw with Germany in the climax of the ’76 tournament, Panenka stepped up in the resulting penalty shoot-out with the chance to win their first ever major title.
Facing Sepp Maier, the midfielder strolled up and delicately floated the ball down the | middle of the goal, with the German diving away to his left. “I suspect that he doesn’t like the sound of my name too much. I never wished to make him look ridiculous,” Panenka told UEFA.com.

Statoil and its partner Total E&P Norge announced that it has made a significant gas and condensate discovery in the King Lear prospect located in the southern part of the Norwegian North Sea.
Exploration well 2/4-2, which was drilled to 5,344m below sea level by the jack-up rig Maersk Gallant, intercepted a 48m gas / condensate column in the main bore.
An additional 70m gas / condensate column was also discovered in side-track 2/4-21A, which was drilled to a vertical depth of 5,237m below sea level.
Gro Gunleiksrud Haatvedt, Statoil's senior vice president for exploration in Norway, said: "The drill results confirm our expectations and show once again that the Norwegian continental shelf still delivers high value barrels."
The company will look into an optimal development solution for King Lear and evaluate if the discovery should be developed as a stand-alone or as a tie-in to infrastructure in the area.
Statoil estimates that the King Lear prospect total volume may be in the | range of 70 and 200 million barrels of recoverable oil equivalent.
Total E&P Norge owns a 22.2% stake in the production licences PL146 and PL333, where the well and side-track are located, while Statoil owns a 77.8% interest.

Just one month ago President Obama publicly said that he is proud that oil production has increased under his administration. Here’s what he actually said: “I’m proud of the fact that under my administration oil production is higher than it has been in a decade or more.”

John C. Markowicz, a naval officer and leader in the region’s economic development efforts and the fight to save the Naval Submarine Base from closure, died Friday of brain cancer.
Markowicz, 68, was a fixture in economic development circles in southeastern Connecticut in several capacities, including serving as executive director of the Southeastern Connecticut Enterprise Region (SeCTer).
In 2005, Markowicz chaired the local Subase Realignment Coalition in battling the Pentagon’s proposal to close the sub base. The federal Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC) eventually removed the Groton base from the closure list.
Several local officials who worked with Markowicz on the effort to reverse the base closure recommendation credited his leadership and tenacity for the success.
“He was the glue that held it together,” said Denny Hicks, a coalition member and fellow Waterford resident. “He had been through it two times before. We were the novices and he was the one who planned the strategy and chaired the group in saving the sub base.”
“The entire region owes John a huge debt of gratitude for the work he did on the sub base,” said Tony Sheridan, former Waterford first selectman and current president of the Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut | . Sheridan recalled being in a room with Markowicz, then-Gov. M. Jodi Rell and then-U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman when the Pentagon’s recommendation to close the Groton sub base was announced.

New Durham meetinghouse restoration project awarded $13g LCHIP grant

NEW DURHAM — This week, the Restoration Committee received grant-funding from the Land and Community Heritage Investment Program for its ongoing preservation of the town meetinghouse.
Restoration Committee Chairman Cathy Allyn said she was ecstatic to receive the $13,000 award Monday in Concord.

An alarming report by Sean Kerrigan via Patriot Network shows that the U.S. government is offering private intelligence companies contracts to create software to manage “fake people” on social media sites and create the illusion of consensus on controversial issues.
According to Kerrigan, the contract calls for the development of “Persona Management Software,” which would help the user create and manage a variety of distinct fake profiles online. The job listing was discussed in recently leaked emails from the private security firm HBGary after an attack by an Internet activist last week.
Kerrigan reports that according to the contract, the software would “protect the identity of government agencies” by employing a number of false signals to convince users that the poster is in fact a real person. A single user could manage unique background information | and status updates for up to 10 fake people from a single computer.
The software enables the government to shield its identity through a number of different methods, including the ability to assign unique IP addresses to each persona and the ability to make it appear as though the user is posting from other locations around the world.
Included in HBGary’s leaked e-mails was a government proposal for the government contract. The document describes how they would | [

Deep M7.3 in Colombia, Insured Losses Less than $100M
A magnitude 7.3 earthquake occurred in southern Colombia on September 30, 2012. Insured losses are expected to be minimal, mainly because of the earthquake's 170 km depth.
This earthquake occurred with a normal faulting mechanism in the subducted Nazca | Plate (i.e., Benioff zone) of the South America Subduction Zone. It was felt widely throughout Colombia at varying degrees of intensity, as shown by the USGS community intensity map.

I know, I snuck in a giveaway on a Friday, but it seemed perfect for today's ice-cream themed post! Before we get into that...every summer we have an ice-cream themed glorified playdate and it's coming up next week. We invite friends to bring their favorite toppings and we provide the rest.
To get some inspiration, I did some bippity bopping around the blogosphere and here's what I found to celebrate summer's ultimate spokesperson....
Oh, I would so be there if I received this invite from My Time, My Creations, My Stampendence.
The great Amy Atlas always inspires; check out this amazing spread she did for an Electrolux event, so many yummy details, from ice-cream cookies to brownie ice-cream pops.
Confetti pops from Country Living hide a surprise: a soft-in-the-center miniature candy bar.
An ice-cream sandwich buffet from Your Homebased Mom is fun, affordable and crosses age lines...the perfect party activity.
This pretty baby shower has personalized cups and little wooden spoons! It's those little details I heart so!

|German 88mm gun is probably the best known artillery piece of World War II.

LONDON, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Unbeaten in 11 Premier League matches and with man-of-the-moment Gareth Bale scoring at will, Tottenham Hotspur start as favourites against Arsenal on Sunday in a north London derby crucial to both sides' hopes of Champions League qualification.
Victory for third-placed Tottenham would send them seven points clear of the fifth-placed Gunners and keep them above Chelsea in what is becoming a London-based tussle for third and fourth spots behind the Manchester clubs.
Bale has scored eight goals in his last six matches for Tottenham after manager Andre Villas-Boas gave the Welsh winger freedom to roam inside, his latest stunner coming to earn his side a 3-2 victory at West Ham United on Monday.

The gift economy concept does not interfere with capitalism at all, despite the general misunderstanding and mythology that surrounds it. There are already many microcosms that thrive on the concept of the gift economy, the scientific community being the most famous. Scientists generally receive status from their peers by contributing the greatest ideas and inventions and allowing others to use them in the creation of more ideas and inventions. The benefits from this method of idea propagation are immeasurable. Can you imagine the setbacks that the world of physics would have experienced if Albert Einstein had been willing and able to restrict the use of his theories and formulas?

What’s a Potato Onion you ask? Well it’s definitely not a potato, not even distantly related to those starchy tubers. No, it’s not some weird genetic cross between a potato and an onion.

LOS ANGELES James Bond’s Skyfall has extended its worldwide box-office rule to North America, hauling in a franchise-record $88.3 million in its first weekend at U.S. theaters.
Adding in $2.2 million from the Nov. 8 previews at IMAX and other large-format theaters, Skyfall has taken in $90 million domestically, according to studio estimates Sunday.
That lifts the worldwide total for Skyfall to $518.6 million since it began rolling out overseas in late October. Internationally, the 23rd Bond flick added $89 million last weekend to raise its overseas revenue to $428.6 million.
The third installment starring Daniel Craig as British super-spy Bond, Skyfall outdid the $67.5 million U.S. debut of 2008’s Quantum of Solace, the franchise’s previous best opening. Skyfall more than doubled the $40.8 million debut of Craig’s first Bond film, 2006’s Casino Royale.
Skyfall already has passed the $407 | .7 million overseas total for Quantum of Solace.
Skyfall was the weekend’s only new wide release, but Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln had a huge start in a handful of theaters. Starring Daniel Day-Lewis as the 16th president, Lincoln took in about $944,000 in 11 theaters for a whopping average of $85,846 a cinema. By comparison, Skyfall averaged $25,211 in 3,505 theaters.

SETAC Screens Research Manuscripts for Plagiarism
Journals today are faced with the challenge of publishing work that may have been plagiarized. Publishing such work can seriously damage a journal's reputation. Thus, organizations are changing their editorial processes to detect and prevent plagiarism before papers are sent for review.
The Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC), a nonprofit, worldwide professional society, has recently taken action to prevent plagiarism within its journals. SETAC, through its publishing partner, Wiley-Blackwell, uses iThenticate to screen scientific research manuscripts for cases of research misconduct.
SETAC reported: "The (iThenticate) program is quite sophisticated, giving the exact articles from which phrases and sentences have been copied. This has offered the opportunity and the responsibility to evaluate the originality of manuscripts submitted to peer-reviewed journals."
Through the use of iThenticate, SETAC editors discovered that most of the research they receive is original. However, they have also uncovered a handful of authors who have used another author's work without proper citation or reference (plagiarism) or reused their own previously published work (self-plagiarism).
Read the full SETAC article.
About SETAC: SETAC supports the development of principles and practices for protection | , enhancement and management of sustainable environmental quality and ecosystem integrity. SETAC promotes the advancement and application of scientific research related to contaminants and other stressors in the environment, education in the environmental sciences, and the use of science in environmental policy and decision-making. http://www.setac | [

i received a surprise in my mailbox last week, a zine entitled Visions of Fire, this first issue being devoted to Maoism. The editor has assembled some pieces both sympathetic and critical of maoism, as well as an introductory editorial situating their own position.
The editor is more critical of Maoism than i am. Not that i am or ever have been a Maoist; democratic centralism strikes me as too open to abuse, and i remain skeptical about the virtues of the Cultural Revolution. But i have learned, and continue to learn, a great deal from Maoists i have known, and more broadly from the evolving body of theoretical work being produced by the Maoist movement internationally.
Although this is not the case in Quebec, my understanding is that elsewhere in white North America most younger Maoists are former anarchists, or at least formerly part of the anarchist scene. The attraction to Maoism is despite, not because of, the | checkered history of actual Maoists parties and organizations here. It also probably has much to do with the soft hegemony of a form of soft anarchism, and the weaknesses that flow from both that hegemony and from anarchist ideology itself. As people encounter the limits of this new period of spontaneous upsurge we have entered (from Slutwalk to Idle No More), they will begin to look for revolutionary alternatives. This will be a good thing, but not without its own perils - we can recall that throughout the imperialist countries the rise of "party building" ventures in the 1970s | [

Nikon users looked on jealously in 1998 as Canon launched a new era of handheld photography with their 100-400mm optically stabilized telezoom lens. Suddenly photographers could capture handheld telephoto shots that previously demanded a tripod. Two years later Nikon countered with the 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 ED VR AF Zoom-Nikkor stabilized lens. Not to be left behind, Sigma introduced its own stabilized 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 EX OS lens in 2002, matching Nikon’s specs while offering versions for Sigma, Nikon and Canon users.

With their strong similarities on paper, I was eager to | see how the Nikon and Sigma stabilized lenses compared in the field. Their use in action and low-light photography is admittedly limited by their f/5.6 apertures and lack of fast, on-lens focusing motors. Nevertheless, they offer event photographers a tremendous leap in capability at a fraction of the weight and cost of subsequent stabilized f/2.8 and f/4 offerings. Over a one-month period I tested them side-by-side to evaluate how they compare in freeing the photographer from a tripod or monopod.

WILLIAMSBURG, VA.- The Muscarelle Museum of Art
at the College of William & Mary opened the major international exhibition, Michelangelo: Sacred and Profane Masterpiece Drawings from the Casa Buonarroti. The landmark exhibition is being organized in honor of the thirtieth anniversary of the foundation of the Muscarelle Museum of Art in 1983.
Michelangelo: Sacred and Profane Masterpiece Drawings from the Casa Buonarroti, follows on the success of the 2010 exhibition at the Muscarelle, Michelangelo: Anatomy as Architecture, Drawings by the Master. As before, the purpose of the new exhibition with its unprecedented theme, Sacred and Profane, is to investigate the artists innermost philosophy as revealed in his original, often astonishingly beautiful, drawings.
Throughout his career, Michel | angelo (1475-1564) alternated between interpretations of the divine and the worldly, or profane. The masters powers to evoke the sacred are fully displayed in the large drawing of the Virgin and Child, which is one of Michelangelos most admired images. The statuesque figures of the Child is contrasted to the expressive freedom of the Madonnas face, which appears to see the future with foreboding.

A friend called up today about the Facebook “Face-plant” hysteria: he wanted to know why everybody was looking for somebody to blame.
“They wanna blame the underwriters, they wanna blame the analysts, they wanna blame NASDAQ, they wanna blame the insiders. But how about they look in the mirror?” he said. “Nobody put a gun to their heads and told ‘em they had to buy it.”
And he’s right.
In fact, there was plenty about Facebook to make a sober investor take pause even before it became a badge of honor to tell the Wall Street Journal you were going to load up on the stock, as so many investors did.
Check out, for example, the following sequence of quarterly revenue growth starting in March 2011 and ending in March 2012:
111.88%, 107.18%, 104.28%, 54.72%, 44.73%.
Now ask yourself, “Is this a company I want to buy at any price?
Well, that’s the annual growth rate in Facebook’s quarterly revenues, straight off our Bloomberg. Not exactly “up and to the right” as they say on | Wall Street.
Here’s another set of numbers—also publicly available—that might have flashed an even bigger yellow warning sign for a prospective Facebook IPO flipper:
140.66%, 114.56%, 79.77%, 58.99%, 32.15%.
That’s the growth in quarterly revenues from last March to this March, also straight off our Bloomberg, for Zynga.

"A tantalizing vampire series that is impossible to put down"
After World War 2 split society apart, vampires came out of

to be Jalen's immortal enemy. Thinking that he has rescued
Nadya, Rem takes her to his stronghold, in the Catz-Kills

thoughts drift back to Jalen whom she still dearly loves.

Draw Your Own Controller.
The Beatsurfing App has 4 objects available: the Line, the Polygon, the Fader and the Circle. Each of them has special features (direction detection, counter, etc.). You use those objects to create swarms, groups of objects that you can arrange in layers, duplicate, etc. enabling you to create unique MIDI controls taht would not occur if you had to prototype them physically. As you can link objects together and create interactions between them (“Behaviours”, of which an example is available here: https://vimeo.com/40236917), there’s also more to a scene than what meets the eye.
How does it work?
Using the Multi-Touch iPad gestures to bring the objects on the surface, position, resize, color and orient them.
- Everything can be modified seemlessly through the iPad gestures.
- Each object can be positioned on a 3-dimensional space (through layers), allowing you to create Swarms, Controls that won’t exist in any physical controller in the World.
All four objects are very simple operators if you consider them separately. It is also important to highlight that each operator has | a concept of “behaviors” they can be assigned with.
- The Line can trigger a unique MIDI note defined as the “root note.” Each time your finger collides a Line, the MIDI note message is sent. Then you have the notion of directional detection that you can enable or not. When enabled, it will detect in which direction you pass through the Line and trigger the root note if you slide your finger from right to | [

Live 1964: Concert at Philharmonic Hall -- The Bootleg Series Volume 6, a two-CD all-acoustic set from Halloween 1964 is scheduled for release March 23, 2004.
The recording captures a 23-year-old Dylan at a transitional moment in his career, two months after the release of Another Side of Bob Dylan, the last acoustic album he would record before... the electrified rock heard on Bringing It All Back Home, several songs from which he previewed at this concert.
Live 1964 shows Dylan at the peak of his early performing powers. Less than three years since his first album was released, he offhandedly jokes with his audience, fending off enthusiastic hecklers with deft wit and snappy comebacks, only to turn around and deliver blisteringly intense versions of protest songs, folk tunes, talking blues, love ballads and a few theretofore unreleased, indefinable songs, including "Mr. Tambourine Man," "Gates of Eden" and "It's Alright Ma," that would spark a musical revolution over the | course of the next year.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - First lady Michelle Obama knows she has star power, and she has used it for four years to champion her causes of fighting childhood obesity and helping military families.

The American Civil Liberties Union and the Council on American-Islamic Relations filed a class-action lawsuit against the FBI Tuesday, alleging the FBI used an informant to spy on Muslims at a California mosque.
The lawsuit alleges the FBI told Craig Monteilh to go undercover and attend the Islamic Center of Irvine as a convert.
Filed against the FBI and seven of its agents and supervisors, the lawsuit claims the FBI violated First Amendment rights by targeting the Muslims based specifically on their religion.
“Legal experts said that there have been a number of legal challenges to FBI surveillance practices since the 1970s but that the current lawsuit is among the first to accuse the agency of targeting people based on religion,” the Washington Post’s Jerry Markon writes.
Monteilh collected “hundreds of hours” of audio and video recordings of the Muslims. He was building a case against one member, but the case fell through.
“Ironically, the operation ended when members of the Muslim communities of Southern California reported the informant to the police because of his violent rhetoric and ultimately obtained a restraining order against him,” the | lawsuit alleged, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Monteilh previously filed his own lawsuit against the FBI, accusing them of violating his civil rights. Monteilh served prison time | [

As I was educating myself on Park51, I found a video of Park51′s Imam’s interview published on CNN’s YouTube channel. I encourage everyone to use the link to watch it to understand the thinking of the Imam, and how he addresses some of the difficult questions he is asked. (CNN does not allow embedding the video.)
As I have been educating myself, I find that even though the story had been published by New York Times in December last year with the title “Muslim Prayers and Renewal Near Ground Zero“, it gained popularity months before the election and became an extremely contentious issue. Imam Abdul Rauf also wrote an op-ed piece for New York Times in which he explained his vision and how he intends to bring Americans of all faiths together with this project.
It is unfortunate that several claims from the opponents of the mosque rest on assertions made by extremists and not on the teachings of Islam. In addition, in many cases, key media persons have been a source of spreading misinformation and influencing negativity in public attitudes. In around 2008, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), a non-profit national media watch group launched in 1986, started documenting ‘public writings and appearances of Islamophobic activists and pundits who intentionally | and regularly spread fear, bigotry and misinformation in the media’ on a newly commissioned website smearcasting.com.
One of the claims of the Islamic center’s opponents is that this center will be a “terrorist command center”. But what I do not understand is how did they figure it out and why would it be? Just because it is ‘Islamic’? If so, how do we view all the Muslims who have contributed to this society including those who serve in the military and the government?

During a recent speech in Poland, former US National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski warned fellow elitists that a worldwide “resistance” movement to “external control” driven by “populist activism” is threatening to derail the move towards a new world order.
Calling the notion that the 21st century is the American century a “shared delusion,” Brzezinski stated that American domination was no longer possible because of an accelerating social change driven by “instant mass communications such as radio, television and the Internet,” which have been cumul | atively stimulating “a universal awakening of mass political consciousness.”
The former US National Security Advisor added that this “rise in worldwide populist activism is proving inimical to external domination of the kind that prevailed in the age of colonialism and imperialism.”
