Colin Powell on GOP: 'They Sort of Look Down on Minorities'
"The Republican party needs to take a very hard look at itself and understand that the country has changed," Powell said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday that the Republican party has to take "a very hard look at itself" because some GOP members in
"look down at minorities."
"The Republican party needs to take a very hard look at itself and understand that the country has changed," Powell said. "The country is changing demographically, and if the Republican Party doesn't change along with that demographic, it's going to be in trouble."
Powell went on to deconstruct some racially coded language he's heard from other members of his party. theGrio.com has more details: > Powell described what he called a "dark vein of intolerance in some parts" of the Republican party. "They still sort of look down on minorities," he said. Referring, without naming them, to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu, Powell said: "when I see a former governor say that the president is 'shucking and jiving,'" as Palin did last year, "that's a racial era slave term. And when I see another former governor [Sununu], after the president's first [2012 presidential] debate and he didn't do well, say he was 'lazy' … he didn't say he was slow, he was tired, he didn't do well, he said he was 'lazy.'" Now that may not mean anything to most Americans but to those of us who are African-American, the second word is 'shiftless' and then there's a third word that goes with it." >
> Powell added the "birther" movement to his list of examples of intolerance, and asked, "why do senior Republican leaders tolerate this kind of discussion within the party?" >
> The former secretary of state under President George W. Bush added that the GOP needs to address issues like healthcare, and economic opportunity for those who are lower income, adding that "the party has gathered unto itself the reputation that it's the party of the rich." >
Powell also told NBC's David Gregory that President Barack Obama's nominee to be defense secretary, former Sen. Chuck Hagel, was "superbly qualified" and would be a strong advocate for Americans in uniform.
"This is a guy who would be very careful about putting their lives at risk because he put his life at risk," Powell said.

Newsweek's 2012 Green Rankings: This Time It's Serious
The latest Green Rankings from Newsweek are out today, and while there aren't any show-stopping changes from last year, at least at the top of the list, this year's rankings represent the first meaningful, apples-to-apples comparison of company performance in the rankings' four-year history.

The Report Report: Products, Packaging, CFOs, Cleantech, and More
Perhaps it's seasonal, but the past few weeks have seen a gusher of studies, surveys, analyses, and reports from a wide range of organizations, including three of the Big 4 accounting firms. I've perused the latest crop and summarized six of them below.

CSR at 20: An interview with BSR's Aron Cramer
Corporate social responsibility is entering its third decade as a mainstream business movement, at least as measured by the history of BSR, the organization formed in 1992 as Business for Social Responsibility, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary. It's a good time to take stock — of the organization, the movement, and the trends shaping its future.

How Trucks Are Changing for the Long Haul
Forget the Volt, the Leaf, the Prius, even the Tesla. An entirely different transportation revolution is happening when it comes to big rigs.
In recent years, commercial truck fleets have begun changing course, steering toward next-gen technologies that embrace electric, hybrid-electric, and other fuels instead of petro-based diesel, and innovative drive-train technologies. It's a development that's born partly of concerns about carbon emissions and other pollutants, but increasingly about mitigating the risk that comes from volatile and unpredictable fuel prices.

Facebook Shares Its Carbon Footprint
Facebook today revealed for the first time information about its carbon footprint, citing the "power of openness." The data, covering the energy use for its data centers and global offices, reflects both the company's efforts to reduce energy use and increase renewable energy consumption, as well as the challenges it faces to steadily improve those efforts.

Can Companies Grow, and Profit, With No Impact?
One of the Big 4 accounting firms has been noodling the idea that we can create an economic model "that allows 9-10 billion people to live in harmony with nature and in well-being." One might reasonably conclude that they've been sniffing a little too much red ink.

Why Sustainability Execs Should Shun the S-word
It seems that the most effective thing sustainability executives in large companies can do is to stop talking about sustainability.
That's my takeaway from a new report, published today, by VOX Global, Weinreb Group Sustainability Recruiting and the UC Berkeley chapter of Net Impact.

What's the value of surveys to companies? Just ask
Q: Responding to the mushrooming number of surveys sent to companies by their customers and stakeholders is:

b) the price of doing business in the age of transparency
c) a valuable catalyst for creating change inside companies

Video: What business learned at Rio+20
My five-day visit to Rio+20 was a nonstop affair, a morning-til-wee-hours parade of meetings, meals, speaking, and more meetings. (Oh, and some drinking and dancing.) Along the way, I caught up with a dozen or so business and NGO executives for some quick, 3-minute video interviews to learn why they attended, what they were learning, and what they saw as the opportunity for business coming out of Rio+20.

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows Shows off More Heroes
REVIEW: Depths of Fear: Knossos
By Michael Fontanini / March 20th, 2015
Depths of Fear: Knossos
Dirigo Games
Digital Tribe
Indie, Action, Adventure, First-Person, Horror
PC (Steam)
Half-man, half-bull, this is the terrible beast known in Greek mythology as the Minotaur. It is a horror created by Pasiphaë, the wife of King Minos of Crete, who ruled from the Palace of Knossos. King Minos, challenged to prove his divine parentage, asked for a sign from Poseidon, the God of the Sea. In response, a white bull emerged from the sea, and King Minos liked it so much that he decided to keep it, rather than sacrifice it back to the gods. He sacrificed an ordinary bull in its place instead, but the gods saw his deceit to them and were angered. As punishment, Poseidon caused Pasiphaë, to fall in love with the white bull. From her union with the bull, the Minotaur was born.
King Minos has you thrown into the labyrinth below
King Minos had a labyrinth built underground to hide away the Minotaur, a task given to the master craftsman, Daedalus. However, King Minos also had a sinister use for the beast, in the form of periodic sacrifices of young Athenians. He demanded periodic tributes of young men and maidens from Athens after his son had died while in their safe keeping. The young men and women would be thrown into the labyrinth, sacrificed to the Minotaur. This was until Theseus, son of King Aegeus of Athens, chose to be one of those tributes.
This is where you enter the story and your adventure in Depths of Fear: Knossos begins. As Theseus himself, you will enter the labyrinth and face the Minotaur. Before you can take out the Minotaur, though, you will have to best seven other monsters in battle first (such as Cerberus, Satyr, Centaur, Medusa, Manticore, Griffin and the Hydra). You will encounter many non-boss monsters during your quest, as well.
The legendary sword and only blade that can kill the Minotaur.
The gameplay in Depths of Fear: Knossos is composed of traversing randomly-generated floors in the labyrinth. The levels are often very dark, but contain light areas, as well. You can see in the image above that your torch throws off a dim light. The darkness feels excessive at times, as you'd be able to see a bit better if you were in this environment for real. This is a very minor issue, though.
Once thrown down into the labyrinth by King Minos, you find yourself in the hub area. Connected to it are eight various sets of labyrinths for you to traverse. Each one has its own boss monster who patrols the floors in that area. You can't just kill it. though (well, you can, but it will just respawn soon after). You must first get through three randomly-generated floors of maze-like passages and rooms while trying not to be spotted by the boss monster as it patrols. The fourth floor is a boss battle room where you will finally do battle with the boss that has tried to keep you from getting this far. Should you be victorious, you gain that monster's medallion. You need all eight medallions to free the legendary sword from its stone sheath (shown above).
The library, Daedalus' window and the armory area.
You will also find a small library and armory in the hub area. There is a window in the middle where you can ring a bell to speak to Daedalus, who is being held in the labyrinth against his will. He has a number of weapons that you can buy from him using gold coins you find during your exploration in the dark, winding tunnels. The bulk of your time in Depths of Fear: Knossos is spent exploring randomly-generated floors of the labyrinth.
Just to the right of the area in the image above is a door that will unlock after you defeat your first boss. This door conceals an extra game mode in Depths of Fear called the "Unknown Depths," which is essentially an endless mode. Your goal is to traverse as many randomly-generated floors as you can before you finally die. A parchment on the wall beside the door records the deepest you've managed to get in this mode. This mode has a bit of roguelike style mixed in, as dying means you start all over on your next run through the Unknown Depths. You can even take the legendary sword into the Unknown Depths, too, once you have freed it from its stone sheath.
The entrance to the Unknown Depths.
The music and ambient sounds help make the tunnels and rooms feel a bit spookier. The game's description mentions slaughtering the Minotaur or learning the meaning of fear trying. The game really isn't too scary, though. The one thing that will put you on edge at times is hearing the sound of a boss monster nearby and hoping it doesn't find you. The game's visuals aren't bad, either, as you can see. They may not be super HD, but they are gritty and detailed.
However, the game does have its share of bugs. Probably the worst bug would be getting stuck in geometry, which forces you to open the pause menu and restart the current floor. A recent update made this bug much less likely to occur, but it is still somewhat common. Monsters will occasionally get stuck in things, too. Other bugs include enemies magically seeing you when they shouldn't be able to on occasion, level exit stairs spawning under a piece of solid floor, making the level unbeatable (and forcing you to restart that floor yet again) and the game crashing every time I try to close out of it.
The Griffin can catch you quickly since it can fly, which makes it very dangerous.
The level generator could use a bit of work, as well. You will see holes in the level sometimes and stuff not lined up very well fairly commonly. You may also encounter decorations like torches or tables sitting half over a lava pit. This tends to break the immersion quite a bit. Combined with the bugs mentioned above, all of this makes the game feel like beta software. If you like the Greek mythology theme and, more importantly, dungeon exploration, you may well enjoy the game in spite of these problems. Hopefully the developer will continue improving the game for a long time to come.
Depths of Fear: Knossos fell a bit short of my expectations. It's a very interesting idea for a game, and I like it, but it feels very unpolished. In spite of the issues, I still enjoyed playing through the game. As far as difficulty goes, it isn't super hard, but some boss monsters can be annoying at times (looking at you, Griffin!). You could beat the game in a day if you play it enough (less than 10 hours, most likely), as it isn't super long, but it isn't overly short, either. The Unknown Depths mode can add more time, as well, and the game's most difficult achievement is in this mode. Overall, Depths of Fear: Knossos is a cool concept for a game, but it falls short due to its many bugs that persist even though the game has been out for nearly a year now.

Michael is also a computer programmer. This started with a toy he got as a kid called PreComputer 1000 that was made by V-Tech. It had a simple programming mode which is what started him down the road of being a programmer! Michael can program in BASIC, Visual Basic, C++, C#, and is familiar with Java and Lua Script.
Putting programming and gaming together, Michael became a hobbyist game developer which may give him some good insights on game development! Most recently, he has been playing with the free version of the Unity engine (a powerful and easy-to-use game engine).
I love Nintendo but I also play a lot of game's on PC, many of which are on steam. My favorite Nintendo game's include Zelda, Metroid, and Smash Bros to name a few. On PC I love the Half-Life games, as well as most all of the Source Engine games just to name a few.

Professor Helen Drake, Director of the Institute for Diplomacy and International Governance, discussed Brexit and the European Summit with France 24 earlier this week.
In this interview, Helen Drake begins discussing what Teresa May is going to say to persuade MPs to back the deal. Helen says, "she will be sticking to the script she has stuck to for quite some well". Helen argues Teresa May will guilt trip her own party into thinking this is in the nations interest, this is the best deal, and this is the only deal we are going to get in order for them to back her.
Other topics discussed in the interview were Teresa's recent media attention, the possibility of Teresa losing the vote, and whether she is going to present her plan as different things to different people.

Advanced innovation exposes structures within cells– ScienceDaily
The cells in our body remain in movement. Some move from A to B to recover injuries or battle pathogens. They do so with the aid of little "feet" at the leading edge of moving cells, so-called lamellipodia. These thin extensions are pressed forward and bind to the surface area while the remainder of the cell is pulled along. Inside these feet is a thick network of interwoven protein threads, called actin filaments, which form the cell's cytoskeleton. Up until now, it was uncertain how the Arp2/3 complex, an assembly of 7 proteins main for cell motility, grows off brand-new actin filaments from pre-existing ones and therefore produces thick, branched networks supplying the needed protrusive forces to the cell.
Hard options
Previously, researchers needed to choose when they wished to examine the structure of the Arp2/3 complex: One alternative was to study it in seclusion, where the protein complex remains in a non-active conformation and for this reason does not enable understanding of how the network is formed. In order to end up being totally triggered, nevertheless, the Arp2/3 complex requires to be bound to actin filaments. This needs utilizing a technique called electron tomography, which comes at the expense of significantly lower resolution. "Previous electron tomography information of Arp2/3 complexes bound to actin filaments in a test-tube environment was too inaccurate, making it difficult to unambiguously inform where the private components of the complex should lie," discusses Florian Fäßler, a postdoc in the group of IST Austria teacher Florian Schur.
For more than 2 years, he has actually been trying to find a method to portray the protein complex in its natural surroundings in such a method that the private structures can be evaluated specifically. Now he has actually been successful. He imaged the complex within lamellipodia of mouse cells in its active actin-bound conformation. "We stated to ourselves: Okay, we are entering into the cell, where the environment is far more detailed due to the fact that there is not just the protein complex and actin filaments however all sorts of other things also. However this was the only method we had the ability to keep this network in such a method that we might identify its structure," states molecular biologist Florian Schur.
Shock-frozen cells
This was enabled by temperature levels of minus 196 degrees Celsius. Within milliseconds, the scientists froze the samples– too rapidly to enable ice crystals to form that would have damaged the cell's great structures. They then utilized among the most effective cryo-electron microscopic lens offered– and the just one of its kind in Austria– to image cells from various angles utilizing cryo-electron tomography. Doing so, the group gathered enough information for the 3D restoration of over 10,000 Arp2/3 complexes in their active state. Integrated with innovative image processing, they then produced a 3D design of the Arp2/3 complex at a resolution of less than one nanometer. For contrast: human hair has to do with 50,000 nanometers thick. "We are now able to explain reasonably specifically the structure of the protein complex and its subunits and how they form the actin filament network inside the lamellipodium of formerly living cells," states Florian Fäßler. "5 years earlier, most likely nobody would have believed that this might be done," includes Schur.
To the limitation
Due to the innovative method, the group might refute an earlier design that had actually presumed much bigger location connections in between Arp2/3 complex and actin filaments. Nevertheless, the researchers validated other elements of how this complex is managed and forms brand-new actin filaments. With this understanding, other researchers can now much better comprehend this crucial protein complex's policy and activity in its several functions beyond cell motility and the advancement of illness. "What we have actually done is to reach is presently possible with such complicated samples in regards to method and resolution. With the existing resolution, we have actually acquired brand-new biological insights, however it was likewise a methodological advance to reveal: It is possible," Schur states enthusiastically. Florian Fäßler now wishes to enhance the technique even further to imagine other proteins and check out how far the technique permits us to see inside a cell. "We are simply beginning to recognize the complete capacity of cryo-electron tomography," states Schur.

Archaeologists recently analyzed 115,000-year-old bone tools that were discovered in China. The ancient artifacts hint at the possibility that prehistoric humans were likely much more sophisticated than previously thought.
Till now, the oldest bone tools discovered in China, which were spears, dated back to 35,000 years ago. However, according to a new study which saw researchers analyze the 115,000-year-old artifacts, these bone tools act as evidence of prehistoric humans having mastered sophisticated tool-making techniques.
"Prior to this discovery, research into the technical behaviour of humans inhabiting China during this period was almost solely based on the study of tools carved from stone," Luc Doyon from the University of Montreal's department of anthropology said in a statement.
The marks discovered on the ancient bone tools indicate that humans living in China during the early stages of the Late Pleistocene period already knew the various mechanical properties of bones and how to use them to fashion tools. According to researchers, these humans were neither Neanderthals nor were they Homo sapiens.
The ancient Chinese bone tools, which were excavated between 2005 and 2015 at the Lingjing site in central China's Henan province, were found buried 10 meters underground. Researchers analyzed seven bone fragments and identified three different types of bone retouchers, also known as soft hammers. These were used by prehistoric humans to modify stone tools.
The first type of soft hammers was found to be weathered limb bone fragments. Researchers discovered that these were somewhat shaped by retouching and used intensively in one single area. The second type was long limb bone flakes which likely came from large mammals that were dismembered. These were used to reshape or retouch stone tools. Finally, the third type was a sole bone fragment that came from the antler of a deer.
Researchers are yet to determine the species of early humans that made and owned these prehistoric bone tools. At present, all that is known about this group of hominids is that they lived alongside Neanderthals and Homo sapiens.
Fortunately, however, researchers say that the ancient artifacts were very well preserved and they expect further analyses will likely lead to more discoveries.

You know it's going to be a pretty good museum visit when you're greeted by Dr. Suess statues on your way in! Especially when it's from your favourite Dr. Suess story, the underappreciated Yertle the Turtle.
…Pawpawsaurus! This is the holotype and only known skull of this beautiful little nodosaur. What a treat to be able to study the original in person.
Just next to me were these very interesting Katsina dolls, including my new favourite character, Squash Man. Apparently he is present in harvest stories and now I want to know all about him because he is the greatest.
The museum has a pretty nice dinosaur exhibit, which I liked a lot because it features local Texas dinosaurs rather than the standard Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops that museums of this size typically have. There was also an outdoor dig site recreating the Jones Ranch quarry that I had visited the previous week on the SVP field trip!
The dinosaur exhibit has these really great gigantic line drawings of Texas dinosaurs, which I liked a lot. They look like somebody roughed in some chalk drawings on the walls, and I find them really appealing and dynamic!
The room is dominated by the skeleton of "Paluxysaurus", more recently considered a junior synonym of Sauroposeidon. Whatever it's called, it's an interesting sauropod, representing one of the last North American sauropods before the lengthy 'sauropod hiatus' from the mid Cretaceous until the Maastrichtian.
Here's something new for me – the foot of Tenontosaurus! A cool original fossil to have on display; behind it there's a reconstructed Tenontosaurus skeleton, and there was also a slightly worse for the wear original Tenontosaurus skull. It's like Tenontosaurus central around here!
Here's a super cool interactive station! Measure the circumference of a femur, put your measurements onto the computer, and see how massive different animals were!
Given the extreme dearth of ankylosaurs in museum exhibits, I was pretty over the moon that Pawpawsaurus featured so prominently! Usually the original skull is on display in the glass case, but today they had taken it off exhibit for me to look at and replaced it with a cast. Now somebody just needs to find the rest of the skeleton so we can have a more complete picture of this important mid Cretaceous ankylosaur!
I believe another sauropod, Abydosaurus, is slightly younger than Sauroposeidon, hence nearer the sauropod hiatus. A c late Cenomanian highstand didn't favor such bememoths. As for when the hiatus ended, that has been somewhat controversial. Maastrichtian (A. sanjuanensis) sounds good though for some time someone insisted Ft Crittendon bones were sauropod. Dunnoo….the late Campanian witnessed big hadrosaurs. Magnapaulia was an example.
Lisa Simpson believed, I think correctly, that Yertle the Turtle was the best book ever written on the subject of turtle stacking. Such a nice way to say 'welcome to the museum'.

How young is too young for a cup of tea? The facts about letting kids have caffeine
Not a lot is known about the long-term impact of caffeine on children (Picture: Getty / metro.co.uk)
A TikTok video that shows a baby drinking from a little mug gas been doing the rounds.
It's a short clip in which you can hear a woman ask the baby: 'What you drinking?' to which the kid replies: 'Cuppa tea.'
While adorable, the clip has divided its 1.9million viewers, with some finding it amusing while others are alarmed.
Sure, there's a chance the baby could have just been mimicking what the adults say when they've got a mug in their hands, but still, the video got us thinking about what the deal is with giving kids caffeine.
According to the NHS, caffeinated drinks are 'unsuitable' for toddlers and young kids. Yes, that includes your average non-herbal tea.
That also includes coffee, energy drinks, and many fizzy drinks.
Helen Burgess, nutritionist and founder of Little Cooks Co, tells Metro.co.uk she used to be given tea when she was a child before she went to sleep.
'However,' she adds, 'more is understood now on caffeine and its
effect on the body.
'Caffeine is a stimulant and as sleep is so crucial during childhood (it's when a lot of growth and development happens), we don't want to put anything in the way of that. It can also temporarily increase blood pressure and heart rate.'

@kerryoyston #cupoftea #toddler #tea
♬ Cup a tea – Leannee
A factsheet from the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children says that, if your kid does enjoy a caffeinated drink, you should try to limit the amount they consume, and they should not have it after lunch so that their sleep doesn't become disturbed.
However, The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children younger than 12 should not have caffeine in any capacity, and advise that neither children nor teens should have energy drinks.
It's worth keeping in mind that, because kids are smaller, caffeine can affect them more strongly than it would yourself.
Diane Vizthum, M.S., R.D., a research nutritionist at the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, advised parents to 'err on the side of caution' on the institution's children's hospital website.
It's not known exactly what the impact of caffeine is on childrens' cardiovascular and nervous systems. She also warned that too much caffeine can be 'dangerous' for children, and can cause a rise in anxiety, blood pressure, an increased heart rate, sleep problems and acid reflux. It can even be toxic in high enough doses.
Ultimately, it'll be up to you as a parent to decide what's right for your kids and in what amount.

On Tuesday night, Nov. 6, two female retired educators were elected to replace the city's mayor and a six-year board veteran and retired educator who opted not to seek re-election for the four-year terms.
The three-way race was relatively close between all three candidates, but the top vote-getter with 10,546 votes, or 35.47 percent was retired educator Deb Dillon, who just prior to the announcement of election results was at the school board meeting.
At the meeting, board members voted unanimously to approve the administration spending upwards of $2 million for a new Prescott High School track and artificial turf field complex.
Dillon, 67, is a retired educator who moved to Prescott six years ago. She has been a regular face at many district meetings and events to take over one of the vacant positions. City Mayor Greg Mengarelli opted against seeking re-election as did his board colleague Maureen Erickson.
In a tight race of only a few hundred votes, candidate Connie Donovan, 69, also a retired educator who worked for a time in Prescott, edged out 14-year resident and information technology executive Dave Klever for the second seat. Donovan won 9,816 votes, or 33.01 percent, to Klever's 9,242 votes, or 31.08 percent of the vote.
While Dillon said she is pleased to be given the opportunity to "serve the people of Prescott, especially the kids of Prescott," she admitted to some mixed feelings about the results. She campaigned with Klever and was sorry to see him lose by such a slight margin.
In her estimation, Dillon said, Klever did more for the district prior to this election than either she or Donovan. Klever was involved in passing the 2015 PUSD $15 million bond referendum and $6 million override used to increase all district salaries.
On the up side, Dillon said she was confident from the start that all three candidates are well-suited for the job, all champions for local education and local educators.
"That's been a plus," Dillon said.
She said she welcomes the chance to work alongside fellow board colleagues to do right by this community's children, its teachers and staff and ensure education remains a top priority for all.
"I'm delighted about the whole thing," she said of winning her first elected office.
In Chino Valley, the two incumbent Governing Board District leaders, president Penny Hubble and vice president Cyndi Thomas were both re-elected to four-year terms. Their challenger Paul Hurley ran a close race, but ended up with only 26.27 percent of the 9,478 votes cast. He could not be reached for comment before press time Tuesday night.
Hubble, who was just finishing up with the town's National Night Out event, said she is "flattered," "honored" and "excited" to be elected to serve her community for another four years. Hubble was the top vote-getter with 4,041 votes, or 42.64 percent.
"First of all, I want to thank voters for having faith in me for another four years," Thomas said. "And I'm looking forward to the next four years. The past four have been very encouraging.

San Diego Comic-Con: Schwarzenegger and co. tease new Terminator film
Posted 3:54 PM, July 19, 2019, by FOX59 Web
A full-scale figure of a terminator robot "T-800", used at the movie "Terminator 2", is displyed at a preview of the Terminator Exhibition in Tokyo on March 18, 2009. The exhibition, displayed figures, properties and movie set of Terminator series, will open March 19 through June 28 as the new movie "Terminator 4" will be screning here in June. AFP PHOTO / Yoshikazu TSUNO (Photo credit should read YOSHIKAZU TSUNO/AFP/Getty Images)
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Leave the kids at home, "Terminator: Dark Fate" is getting an R-rating.
Director Tim Miller told the audience at San Diego Comic-Con that it wasn't always going to be the plan, but the fans demanded it. The panel that kicked off the fan convention Thursday morning may also have gotten the same rating with the number of expletives thrown around by Miller.
Arnold Schwarzenegger even won $20 because Miller said one particular word more than 5 times.
"It was 10," Schwarzenegger said. "I counted."
Would you expect any less from the director of "Deadpool"?
Miller and Schwarzenegger were joined by Linda Hamilton, who is reprising her role as Sarah Connor, franchise newcomer Mackenzie Davis and other cast members on the Hall H stage.
This latest film fully ignores the events of the last Terminator movie, "Terminator: Genisys," with Emilia Clarke which bombed with audiences and critics in 2015. Instead "Dark Fate" picks up where James Cameron left off with "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" in 1991.
Producer David Ellison even told Miller that he didn't do Terminator as well as he'd wished the first time around with "Genisys" and wanted to try again.
Part of the strategy to "get it right" involved bringing Cameron back to produce.
Cameron chimed in via a live broadcast from the set of the "Avatar" sequels. He said he would have liked to have been in San Diego to kick off the 50th Comic-Con , but that he had to keep working.
"Everybody's always whining about how long it's taking 'Avatar' to get done," Cameron said.
His requirements for a new "Terminator" film started and stopped with wanting to make sure Schwarzenegger came back. It wasn't a problem, since Schwarzenegger himself said he's addicted to these films.
"'Terminator' was the movie that really launched my action movie career," Schwarzenegger said.
Then there was the Sarah Connor question. For Cameron and many fans, Hamilton is the one true Sarah. He sent her a "long rambling email with a lot of reasons why she should do it and a lot of reasons why she shouldn't."
The main point in the "pro column," Cameron said, is that people love her as this character.
"The character is the same but time changes everything," Hamilton said. "I felt there was a world of richness I could explore and then rock it as a woman of a certain age."
Although the 62-year-old actress is in full fighting shape in the footage and trailers, Hamilton said she didn't worry too much about getting back to her "T2" self.
"One day I woke up and realized I can no longer worry about being what I was because I am so much more than what I was," she said. "The richness of my life experience is only going to enrich the character I play."
But her 32-year-old co-star Davis still conceded that Hamilton would definitely win in a fight. Hamilton agreed.
"Mackenzie is stronger and younger, but I'm meaner," Hamilton said with a smile.
Edward Furlong is also returning to play John Connor again.
The audience greeted the action-packed footage with enthusiasm, which reached a crescendo when Sarah Connor debuted on screen.
"Terminator: Dark Fate" opens in theaters Nov. 1 and Comic-Con runs through Sunday.

Home » Blog » No Waterproofing: Will this cause shower leaks?
Cracking and swelling tiles can happen when flat surfaces aren't properly waterproofed in a shower. These are signs that moisture is getting into the walls.
The tile and grout will keep the most of the water out, right?
My contractor didn't put any waterproofing in our shower. Will this cause shower leaks?
We didn't know we were supposed to have a shower moisture barrier. Should we start over?
What inspired this post was that recently, on the John Bridge forum, a member had asked a simple enough question: Is a moisture barrier required? He had hired a contractor to install his shower and the contractor said that it wasn't necessary. But as more information came out- and photos were posted- it was obvious that there were going to be some shower leaks. I would encourage you to click the link and skim over the post.
Cement board is not waterproof. Hardibacker is not waterproof. Tile and grout are not waterproof.
Cement board will not fall apart when exposed to water. But like a concrete walkway, it can soak up water. It can also dry out and be perfectly fine.
The second coat of Hydroban (light green) being applied to the top of the half wall.
I have a hard time calling a 4 mil plastic sheet behind backer board a waterproof membrane. Why? Because you attach this membrane by stapling it to the studs then puncture it further by nailing (or screwing) backer board in front of it. But it is an acceptable, and minimal, way to keep moisture from getting into a wall cavity.
Horizontal surfaces, even those that slope, need a waterproofing membrane.
Now I'm not the only one that makes a distinction between waterproofing vertical and horizontal surfaces. Custom Building Products requires two coats of their Redgard liquid waterproofing on all waterproof surfaces. However, they also have this technical bulletin which says that only one coat is needed on the vertical surfaces of the backer board.
It's sort of like: All bourbons are whiskey but not all whiskey is bourbon. Waterproofing can serve as a moisture barrier but a moisture barrier doesn't necessarily qualify as a waterproofing barrier.
A moisture barrier is all that's needed to keep water out of the water cavity. But more extensive waterproofing is required for the horizontal surfaces if you want to prevent a shower from leaking.
The horizontal surfaces in a shower usually include the shower floor, half walls, benches, curbs, and recessed niches. These need special attention to ensure that they don't leak. Acceptable ways of waterproofing these types of surfaces are 2 coats of liquid waterproofing, a waterproof sheet membrane, or the many different foam waterproof products that are available now. They make foam recessed niches, corner benches, floating benches, curbs and shower pans.
Water containment on shower walls is important and a requirement. Waterproofing on horizontal surfaces is absolutely critical.
If your shower doesn't have a moisture barrier failure isn't necessarily imminent. But I wouldn't consider it to be a well-built shower. If your horizontal surfaces in the shower aren't waterproofed a leaking shower is nearly guaranteed!
My shower has a regular sheetrock ceiling, which developed black mold. I washed it with a mixture of vinegar and borax, which cleaned the surface but left a stain. Can I tile over this to prevent future mold? Or do I have to replace the sheetrock with backerboard?
You shouldn't have any issues sticking the tile to the sheetrock on the ceiling.
In simple terms please. Redoing bathroom. Shower/tub alcove is cement board duralok. Behind cement board I put plastic what next. On other wall do I need plastic first then cement board. Now do I need to do more on walls with tiling half up not near shower. Also floor. Redid subfloor what goes on before cement board thin set and tiles.
I'm having a hard time understanding what's being asked. Please check your questions and ask again.
I am putting tile down in my kitchen and will be putting Durock and tile in the dishwasher alcove. The alcove is part of the center island that has the sink as well. The subfloor is exposed next to the alcove. My concern is that if the dishwasher should ever develop a leak and water gets out, or the sink over-flows, etc… if water gets in the alcove and thus to the exposed Durcok, will this cause a warping or mold issue with the Durock and subfloor? Should we put a liquid water barrier like Redgard down on the Durock and sub-floor before the tile is applied and the dishwater reinstalled? Thanks for the input.
It certainly wouldn't hurt but it's only effective as long as water is contained in the area of the dishwasher. So it's very likely that water would simply run off of the waterproofed area unless more of the floor is waterproofed and it's flashed up any vertical surfaces.
Can green board be used anywhere inside shower area including ceiling?
You can use it on the ceiling.
I am remodeling an old house and am in the middle of re-doing the master bathroom shower. The original mud deck and mortar layer on walls are over chicken wire but I doubt it has any moisture barrier or waterproofing layer. I have removed the old tiles and want to install new large tiles with CBP LFT modified mortar. I would like to use RedGuard over the original mortar bed and wall layer to provide an improvement to what is currently there. Do you see any issues with this strategy?
For whatever reason, I'm reluctant to say that it's OK but I can't think of a reason that it wouldn't be. The walls can be coated with Redgard but I wouldn't put any on the shower pan.
The shower pan is either waterproof right now, or it's not. There's no way to tie Redgard into the drain with the way the old shower drains are designed so covering the pan with Redgard doesn't fix anything. If anything, it can have an adverse effect by trapping moisture between the two waterproofing layers- the layer below the mud bed and Redgard above. But doing the walls is a good plan, I think.
One word of caution: the old mud beds were usually hot mopped or maybe it has a copper or lead shower pan. It's not unusual at all for those to be compromised at this point in their life. So the best course of action would be to remove and start over.
Hello.I recently renovated my kids shower/tub and only did one coat of Redgard on the vertical walls above the tub.Will this be enough or will I have an issue?
It's more about thickness than coats but for something like that I think you'll be ok.
If you don't have a waterproof membrane in the shower then the best thing is to start over. All that caulking the gaps would do is slow down a leak and when it comes to water damage the slow leaks do the most damage.


Since part way through last year, I have been working on leveraging control over both my digital identity and digital self. This has included closing a number of accounts, redesigning my home page, this blog, and leaving Facebook again. It has entailed making some tough decisions about which social networks I will invest time into; which apps and services I am prepared to share my data with.
First, it is important to own as much of your own data as possible. Too many of us invest time in various apps, networks and other online tools, without considering whether or not we will be able to get that data out, should we decide to stop using them.
Second, it is important to give mindful consideration to the information that you publish online, as this is how many people will form their opinion of you. For all intents and purposes, your digital self is like a brand. It needs to be cultivated and cared for. It is therefore, my intention to ensure that brand 'James Michie' is well cultivated.
It was with these principals in mind that I decided to move my 'other' blog 'Et cetera' from Posterous and integrate it with my main blog.
Twitter's recent acquisition of Posterous, provided the final push I needed to make this move… one that I had considered doing last year. Do I think that Twitter is going to shut down Posterous? I am not sure but the signs are not great. Recent trends on the web would also suggest that either the service will fall into neglect or eventually close.
In making the move, I decided that it was also an opportunity to do some cleaning up. Before importing the blog, I removed any content which I felt did not fit in effectively with my main blog; this included the remnants of a failed #365 project and a few other posts.
If you were a subscribed to Et cetera, then please consider subscribing to this blog either by RSS or Email.
Owning your data and caring for your digital self is very important. Putting in, what I believe to be a reasonable amount of effort, has allowed me to take (greater) ownership of my data, and to better establish the version of my digital self that I wish for people to engage with. I encourage you to do the same.
Redesigning jamesmichie.com(blog) – CSS FTW!
I've been tweaking and redesigning aspects of my blog ever since I started it, attempting to balance clean/minimal design while trying to provide visitors with an enjoyable reading experience and straightforward navigation. I feel that I've finally achieved this and in doing so learned a lot about CSS. Completing work on my blog resulted in me redesigning my homepage from scratch, creating a greater sense of uniformity between the two. As I'd done before, I called upon the excellent site: w3schools.com for help in figuring out padding, margins, borders and floats, amongst other attributes.
My blog is built upon the 'Plainscape' theme. It is a very simple, two-column theme with very few unique features which makes it highly adaptable. I have made some minor edits to the layout and have completely overhauled the header and footers to suit my needs. This included moving my sidebar buttons and search box into the header. From my research this seems to be a more common place for them to be. While I was making these adjustments I also added a new photo to my about page, tidied up my categories and moved the Evernote, Delivr and Instapaper buttons to the top right of my posts, a position that I feel is more intuitive for their purpose. Also, I have made significant changes to the css of the blog creating a strict colour scheme. I've added borders around menus and the different sections of the sidebar to improve navigation. Overall, I am more satisfied than I have been for a while, feeling that the blog has a far more consistent/professional look.
To bring my homepage up the same standard as my blog, I began by deleting Concret5 and installed WordPress instead. I then looked for a one column theme and settled on F8 Lite. Being fairly confident in editing html and css it didn't take me long to match the css of my new homepage theme to that of my blogs. I then went about stripping many of the features from the header and footer sections. I made use of the themes widget placement being at the bottom to add my blog feed, tweets and lifestream. In the settings I changed the front page from 'latest posts' to a 'static page' and went about creating one, adding the same photo I had selected to use on my about page. I matched the buttons from my blog to direct people to the parts of my web footprint that I feel they would be most interested in visiting. And with that I was done. I now feel that my homepage does a much better job of representing me and gives a much clearer picture of the key parts of my web footprint.
Understanding and taking control of css was the biggest win during this process. It made a huge difference as it allowed me to make design changes with greater ease and far more consistency. I have included, below, the css attributes which are consistent accross both my blog and homepage. If you would like to know about specific aspects or features, feel free to ask me in the comments.

Q: What is the meaning and format of LANGUAGE? I'm used to environment variables such as LANG and LC_*, but I recently noticed a LANGUAGE variable on my Ubuntu desktop. It's value was pt_BR:pt:en, and I'm wondering exactly what is meaning is. LANG, for one thing, was pt_BR.UTF-8, so if that first field is supposed to be the default locale/charset, it was at odds with was LANG set.
So, what's the exact meaning and format of LANGUAGE?

A: LANGUAGE determines the order of preference for user interface message localization with gettext. http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#The-LANGUAGE-variable

A: LANGUAGE serves a similar purpose to LANG and LC_MESSAGES in that it controls what language the user interface is displayed in.
The main difference between them is that while LANG and LC_MESSAGES can only take a single locale specifier, LANGUAGE can take a list of colon separated list of locale specifiers.
As an example, this would allow a user to have programs display in Catalan if available and fall back to Spanish if not before finally falling back to untranslated English, which is not possible with the other variables. In this case would be LANGUAGE="ca:es:en" (ISO 639-1 codes).
The other environment variables are set for the benefit of applications not using gettext for translation that only support the older environment variables.

Injured Brady takes part in Patriots' quarterbacks meeting
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Tom Brady, out for the season with a knee injury, is still trying to help his teammates win games.
Last season's NFL MVP took part in the New England Patriots quarterbacks meeting Saturday, the day before Matt Cassel started in his place in the team's 19-10 win over the New York Jets.
"Last week, he came in a little bit at the end of the week. He was in our quarterbacks meeting on Saturday and stuff like that," coach Bill Belichick said in a conference call Tuesday. "Going forward this week that might be the same, it might be a little bit different. It goes depending on how his rehab schedule goes and what we're doing at the times when he is available."
A Patriots spokesman declined comment Tuesday on whether Brady had undergone surgery. The Boston Globe reported last week that Brady had torn anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his left knee and likely would have surgery in about a month.
Brady was hurt midway through the first quarter of the Patriots' season-opening 17-10 win over Kansas City when he was hit by Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard.
Three days later, he visited his teammates at Gillette Stadium.
After the win over the Jets, Cassel, who made his first start since his senior year in high school, said he had talked a lot with Brady, who had started 128 consecutive games.
"We had many different conversations on many different aspects of the game," Cassel said. "His big advice was to go out there, manage the game, be smart with the football, and that we have enough good players on this team to win if I do that."
Unlike Brady, Cassel stuck almost exclusively to short, safe passes and finished 16-for-23 for 165 yards with no touchdown or interceptions against the Jets.
He could get some more help from the two-time Super Bowl MVP as he prepares for his second start Sunday at home against Miami (0-2).
"We don't have a specific schedule on it or anything like that. Right now, the priority for Tom is to rehab and do everything he can to get back to 100 percent, and that's a long process," Belichick said. "Tom's always been great about helping other players and being part of the team, or being part of whatever we're doing.
"I'm sure that Tom will continue to be involved like he always has. To what degree, what the time frame is and the structure of it and all that, that's not in place and it will change during the course of the year, too."
Cassel and the rest of the Patriots already are familiar with their next opponent. In preparing for their most recent game, they watched film of the Jets' season-opening win over the Dolphins.
"Seeing them play against the Jets last week gave us a little bit of a head start on them," Belichick said. "We are so familiar with the Jets that it's a good comparison to see how they match up against a team that we just played."

Q: How to adjust the width of a system of equations to paragraph length when using systeme I am trying to fit a system of equations to the paragraph width. The case is a bit more convoluted than usual because the equations are very large and form a system.
The partial solution that I found was to use "scritpsize" to reduce the size of the equations, but I do not like it much, because it reduces more than needed.
