One thing has stayed consistent throughout John Petrucci's long and successful career: the DiMarzio® pickups in his guitars. John has been pushing the envelope of progressive metal since the late eighties, and the new DiMarzio® Crunch Lab 7™ Bridge Model ensued from our most recent collaboration with John. He used it throughout Dream Theater's tenth studio album, "Black Clouds & Silver Linings". John swears this is the best live and studio sound he has ever had, and the name says it all — "crunch" is what it's all about with a big, tight sound that's neither muddy nor thin.
The Crunch Lab 7™ is noteworthy (bad pun alert) for what it doesn't do — it's not a screamer, and it's not about thundering lows. Its physical appearance is identical to the D Sonic 7™, but the internal design is a lot different. It's louder, and the highs have more depth. The lows and mids are more open, and this is crucial for playing chords with body and presence through a gained-out amp. The way the pickup attacks a note is both sharper and stronger, and this allows the Crunch Lab 7™ to be installed with the solid bar towards the neck.


With an overall area of 8338 km2 (about ¼ of the Netherlands) and roughly 623.340 inhabitants, Crete is, by far, the largest of the Greek islands. The isle has a length of 260 kilometres and a width that can vary between the 12 and 60 kilometres. In 1913, Crete native and political leader Eleftherios Venizelos was able to unite Crete with the rest of Greek. It can be divided into four large areas; each of them having their own province.
In the west there is Chania with its equally named capital Chania. A good part of this province is occupied by the White Mountains, or Lefka Ori, as the Greeks call it. These mountains are covered in snow all year through. This, however, is not the sole reason as to why they are called the 'White Mountains', as the mountains are also a great source of chalk. Chania was Crete's capital from 1842 till 1971.
Further to the east you'll come across Rethymno. The capital, once again equal of name, has around 30.000 inhabitants. Out of all provinces this area is the driest, which can be seen by the mountains clear of foliage. In the past Rethymno was Crete's sole source of olive trees, but nowadays these trees can grow anywhere on the island. A large part of the area is taken up by Mount Ida, with its highest point Psyloritis (2456 metres), also covered in snow year-round.
Between east and west there is the province of Heraklion. Its capital of the same name doubles as Crete's largest and capital city with 180.000 inhabitants. Heraklion is Greek's fifth largest city after Athene, Thessaloniki, Piraeus and Patras. While Chania used to be Crete's capital, it has since been forced to give up on this tiled in favour of the better located Heraklion and its bigger airport. In this province lies the Dikti mountain along with the Messara plain, the latter of which partly has resulted in Heraklion becoming Crete's most fertile province.
In the east is Lassithi, with its capital Agios Nikolaos being home to 20.000 people. The capital is located near the coast and has a magnificent port and nearby lake – the lake being connected to the ocean by a canal. The first hotel was built here in 1960.
Crete's main products that are currently being exported are: olives, olive oil, grapes, raisins, wine, tomatoes and cucumbers. There are also a lot of herbs, spices, nuts and diantus.
On the island there are a lot of possibilities for a half-day or one-day trip.

GRAY, EDWIN FAIRFAX (1829–1884). Edwin Fairfax Gray, military officer and railroad engineer, son of Milly Richards (Stone) and William Fairfax Gray, was born in Fredericksburg, Virginia, on March 15, 1829. He moved to Texas in the winter of 1838 and in 1841 obtained an appointment as midshipman in the Texas Navy. As such he participated in the Tampico expedition aboard the flagship Austin. Upon the annexation of Texas, Gray was transferred to the United States Navy. He graduated with honors from the Naval Academy at Annapolis in June 1852 and accompanied Commodore Matthew Galbraith Perry to Japan in 1853. In January 1858 Gray resigned his commission. On September 16, 1858, he was appointed Texas state engineer, a position that entailed supervision of river improvements and inspection of railroad properties. In 1860 he became secretary and treasurer of the Houston Tap and Brazoria Railway Company. He served throughout the Civil War in the Third Texas Infantry and rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel. After the war Gray returned to engineering and often acted as inspecting engineer to certify railroad construction as qualification for land grants. On June 8, 1857, he married Rosalie Woodburn Taylor; they had two sons and one daughter.Gray died in Houston on August 14, 1884, and was buried in Glenwood Cemetery.

So proud of myself! I spent my mornings shifting stuff from my study room to my guest room coz I've decided that the study room is just not too big enough to hold both me and Nate's stuff(well ok fine, most my stuff). I thought since we don't have much space at our current study room and seeing how we hardly have guest sleeping over, might as well take the bigger room and turn it to my workspace/craft room and Nate's comp gaming area too.
So this morning, with Nate wishing me good luck(he seriously doubts my skills and strength =.=) I started moving the things bit by bit. Lucky for me Ikea furnitures are easy to move once you've detach the drawers from the tables.
Now if I can get a commercial driller to drill my frame up along with all my paintings up in the house. Can you believe the drillers we've used so far have all failed because the walls are so hard it's almost impossible to drill a hole deeper than 5cm with the normal drillers!
I've also put my bracelet holder to good use. Now my hardrive doesn't look too hideous after all.
Having nail polishes in this candle holder is just so pretty! I love love love the snowflakes design!
Currently burning the christmas edition diptyque candles.
Yay, one more day till Friday!

Video Archive: Duluth Election 2008
PDDTV Nov 04, 2018 No Comments Share
It was ten years ago today — Nov. 4, 2008 — that Barack Obama was elected to his first term as President of the United States. Obama took nearly 53 percent of the popular vote nationwide; in Duluth he hauled in more than 68 percent. Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party candidates swept every 2008 contest in Duluth.
Though Al Franken narrowly won a U.S. Senate seat in a statewide race that was decided after eight months of recounting and legal jousting, he crushed opponent Norm Coleman in Duluth, taking 55 percent of the vote to Coleman's 31 precent.
Perhaps the most significant local contest was Roger Reinert dominating the race for State Representative District 7B. Two years later, Reinert was elected to represent District 7 in the Minnesota Senate. He served for six years in the senate before stepping away from politics in 2016.
The 2008 election in Duluth also featured a referendum question on a century-old Lakeside liquor ban and a three-tier Duluth Schools property-tax levy question. The liquor ban issue didn't get settled until eight years later. The Duluth schools matter is ongoing — another three-tier levy question is on this year's ballot.
The liquor issue was so divided the results of the ballot question showed a one-vote difference, with 2,858 Lakeside residents saying alcohol sales should continue to be banned in the neighborhood and 2,857 in favor of repealing the prohibition. In 2016 the Duluth City Council finally repealed the liquor ban. Amity Coffee poured the first Lakeside beer on Oct. 27, 2016.
It was also in 2008 that Minnesota's Clean Water, Land and Legacy Act passed.

Film Review: Danny Wu Goes Back to Square One with a Crucial Michael Jackson Allegations Documentary
Posted on October 2, 2019 by Elise Capron — 16 Comments ↓
"Square One" is the Michael Jackson documentary we need now.
It has been a tough year for the worldwide Michael Jackson fan community in the wake of "Leaving Neverland". With celebrities like Oprah Winfrey hopping onto Dan Reed's bandwagon, and almost all mainstream media purposely stifling any voice in protest of the film, or even any voice of reason, many fans have been left feeling hopeless. A select few podcasters, YouTubers, and media personalities have created great content countering "Leaving Neverland" but, as of yet, nothing has truly managed to get mainstream, lasting attention. And while the fan community awaits Taj Jackson's docuseries (you can donate here), that project is still a long ways off.
But the tide may be changing. Just this month, three documentaries have been released in support of Michael Jackson (all of which The MJCast team discuss in #TheMJCastEp108): "Chase the Truth", "Lies of Leaving Neverland", and most importantly, in my view, "Square One", by Danny Wu. After viewing the film at its premiere in Hollywood on September 28, 2019, I believe that Wu's film has the potential to be a game-changer. It is the film we need in these times.
To give you some background on Danny Wu: Based in Vancouver, Canada, Wu is a YouTuber and up-and-coming filmmaker who grew up as an MJ fan, but who watched "Leaving Neverland" and was convinced of Jackson's guilt. He decided to create a YouTube video presented as a compelling "Did he or didn't he?" investigation. However, in the course of Wu's extensive research, he realized that the facts didn't add up, and that there could be no way that Michael Jackson was guilty of his accused crimes. Over this time, he interviewed Taj and Brandi Jackson and developed close ties with content creator Liam McEwen (who produced one of the first "Leaving Neverland" rebuttal videos, "Neverland Firsthand"). These relationships would solidify Wu's support of Jackson's innocence as well as his dedication to getting out the truth about the allegations. I want to emphasize that Wu "walks the walk". His efforts are not motivated by money or attention-seeking. In fact, he has donated all of his YouTube revenue from his Jackson-related videos to Taj Jackson's docuseries, and he self-funded "Square One". When we interviewed him on The MJCast, he specifically recommended that anyone who wants to donate to him should give their money to Taj Jackson instead.
One might have assumed that Wu would create a film examining the lies in "Leaving Neverland", since that has been the big focus of this year. But he took a different approach. Wu saw a video of Jackson's 2005 defense lawyer, Tom Mesereau, in which he spoke about how, if Jordan Chandler had been called to speak in that trial, there would have been a line-up of Chandler's friends ready to tell the opposite story. Inspired by this idea, Wu decided that he needed to find one of these friends who would be willing to speak publicly. And, in doing so, he could potentially take every allegation "back to square one", where it all started. By focusing on the 1993 allegations and the Chandler family, he could expose the lies at their root.
With this context in mind, it was with great hope that I attended the film's premiere on September 28, held at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. It was hard to know what to expect for this event. Would the fans turn out? Would the film succeed in its goals? Wonderfully, Danny Wu's "Square One" premiere was a night to remember, when the fan community came together to support a superb film that I believe will make a real difference. In attendance were all the stars of the film, including Danny Wu, Taj Jackson, Charles Thomson (investigative journalist and Legal Correspondent for The MJCast), Jenny Winings, Geraldine Hughes, and Josephine Zohny, who knew Jordan Chandler in college, had been on the 2005 trial witness list, and whose experiences with Chandler frame the film's narrative. (More on that later.) The rest of the attendees represented a "who's who" of the MJ community. It was an exciting, inspiring, and dynamic evening. Guest highlights included Tom Mesereau, Liam McEwan, John Ziegler, Tommy Organ, Thayana Sco Jackson, Edwin Costa (of @edwinsgeneration), filmmaker and podcaster Adam Green, actress Lori Petty, and many more. Fans had come from far and wide, with a few attendees flying from China for the event. There was a great energy, buzz, and a lot of love in the room in anticipation of the screening.

Now, onto the part you're waiting for: So, how was the film?
"Square One" is a brilliant, professional, and entirely convincing film which will, in my view, speak both to fans and to a mainstream audience. When non-fans, or even casual fans, have asked me this year how to address the questions brought up by "Leaving Neverland", I have found myself pointing to a lot of different resources, but they are typically overflowing with far more information than the average person is willing to sort through. Enter "Square One", which is now the film to which I will direct people to understand the 1993 allegations and everything that would come after. The way in which it walks the viewer through a complex set of circumstances is impeccable: easy to absorb, concise, grounded in facts, and it lays the groundwork for precisely why things happened as they did, and how the 1993 allegations would set the stage for the Arvizo trial, Robson, Safechuck, and more. As Josephine Zohny says in the film, "Every allegation is built on the '93 allegations". By understanding the chain of events involving the Chandler family, the spider web of misfortunes that plagued Michael Jackson throughout the rest of his life are illuminated.
Danny Wu.
The structure of the film: First, I want to make clear that there are no surprise bombshells in this film. Serious fans will know this information already. (Though, for casual fans or non-fans, most of the facts presented in this film will be new and, I imagine, revelatory.) Its value is not in making new claims, but in presenting the information in the clearest way imaginable, and in doing so with authority. The film is framed by Zohny's experiences with Jordan Chandler, with powerful interviews with Taj Jackson, Jenny Winings (who, like Zohny, was on the 2005 trial witness list), and Geraldine Hughes woven throughout the narrative. Caroline Fristedt also appears a few times, if briefly, and some archival audio from "Big Al" Scanlan is included. Danny Wu appears in the film to move the story along at certain points, though it is really Charles Thomson who serves as the film's primary narrator. (It is worth noting that Thomson did not go into this project realizing that his interview would become so key to the film, and it is a testament to his encyclopedic mastery of this chronology that he can provide such a perfect explanation of the chain of events in two unscripted interviews.) Thomson essentially walks us through every step of the 1993 allegations, with the other interviewees highlighting key moments. The rest of the film is primarily made up of archival audio, video, articles and legal documents, which are all well-presented and well-edited. There is no feeling of a passionate "fan-made defense video" here. The information is serious, journalistic, grounded and credible. I particularly appreciate that the film immediately opens by clarifying a few major questions which seem to eternally emerge up in the Jackson allegation conversation: No child pornography was ever found at Neverland, and nothing was ever discovered during the extended, off-and-on investigation of Jackson by the FBI. The actual chronology of the film walks us through the history of the Chandler family, with a particular focus, of course, on Evan Chandler, and his growing rage. It establishes perfectly the sequence of events leading to Chandler's extortion of Jackson and why Chandler filed a criminal report, when he clearly had had no intention of alerting authorities regarding the supposed abuse of his child. The film makes very clear, as well, why Jackson settled, and how this settlement never voided the possibility of a criminal trial if there had been any evidence to do so. Wu also addresses and clarifies La Toya Jackson's support (at the time) of the allegations, Victor Gutierrez and Rodney Allen's role in the fiasco, and concludes with a short section touching on the Arvizo case. The film's greatest accomplishment is to put all these puzzle pieces together in a way that any viewer can comprehend. Once set in place, there is a sense of crystal-clear understanding that, as Geraldine Hughes says, "Michael Jackson was the victim of an elaborate extortion scheme which launched the allegations."
Why Josephine Zohny? Zohny has been unfairly criticized by some people online, saying that she is not a credible source. I completely disagree with this. She, along with Jenny Winings, were on the 2005 trial witness list, and would have been part of that trial if Chandler had been brought into the case. Also, Zohny is not motivated by anything but telling the truth: She gave one statement when she was put on the 2005 witness list, but has never spoken publicly about her experiences otherwise. She has never sold her story, nor has she told conflicting or exaggerated tales. And, while it's true that she was not a close friend of Chandler's, just an acquaintance, she had interactions with him on multiple occasions when they were classmates together at NYU, and heard him make statements specifically related to Jackson. According to her, Chandler surrounded himself with MJ memorabilia and fan friends, and, upon the release of Martin Bashir's "Living with Michael Jackson", Chandler stated, in front of multiple witnesses, that Jackson was "not capable of the things he was being accused of". In sum, Zohny has put herself in the spotlight at personal risk (she has had to deal with internet trolls and her professional website being hacked) in order to defend Michael Jackson, and I have absolutely no doubt that viewers will find her story compelling and credible.

The minuses: I have very few critiques of this film, which I hope will be widely shared across the global MJ fan community and far beyond, except to point out that it could have benefited from a bit more editing. Wu created "Square One" in just a couple of months, which is deeply impressive, so I am perfectly willing to excuse any slight imperfections. I personally wish that Charles Thomson's narration wasn't via a sometimes-crackly speakerphone, for example, but that is a small complaint. So many long-time fans have spent years exploring the issues around the Jackson allegations, but no one has managed to create anything quite like this, and I encourage every Jackson fan to come together to support this film in whatever way we can.
I'll conclude with a few words from Tom Mesereau, who was interviewed by John Ziegler immediately after the film premiere:
"It's a fabulous film. It is high quality. It was carefully investigated. It was condensed in a very professional attempt to find the truth, and it tells the truth. Michael Jackson was not a pedophile. He never should have been put through what he was put through, starting with the case in '92-'93. And I commend Danny Wu and all of his people for the fabulous job they did, and I can't wait to hear this circulating through society, because we live in very, very biased, troubled times. Michael Jackson was never a pedophile, never should have been accused as such, and his life was destroyed by greed, by people without integrity, by people without a conscience. This film starts the road back from some of the recent developments, which have been very troubling. [Wu] did a tremendous job in showing the truth."
Let's gather as a community to support this film and other quality content being released in Michael Jackson's defense. This is our moment.

Episode 023 – Christmas Extravaganza!
Merry Christmas, listeners. What a year it's been for The MJCast! It astounds us to think how much success we've had over this past twelve months. We'd never have guessed our little Michael Jackson podcast would have been received so well. Thank-you from the bottom of our hearts. We recently put together this Christmas Extravaganza episode for everyone to enjoy over their holidays. With such a long running time (over five hours), we'd suggest you listen to it in portions rather than in one sitting. Though if you want to binge out on The MJCast, feel free to do that as well! In this episode, Jamon and Q kick things off with a brief discussion around the latest MJ news, including Thriller achieving 30x multi-platinum status, a possible new biopic on Michael Jackson (but this time from the point of view of Bubbles the chimp) and Spike Lee's new artwork for his upcoming documentary, Michael Jackson's Journey from Motown to Off the Wall. Following this, Jamon and Q reflect back on the year that's been through taking the listener on a journey through some of their favourite clips from each of the previous twenty-two episodes. They follow this up with a chat around their favourite MJ and the Jacksons related products from the year before closing out the show with their hopes and wishes for 2016. Keep your ears open for the post show Season One gag reel after the outro music!
Honestly though…thank-you for making this show what it is. The MJCast wouldn't have come as far as it has without the support of the listeners and guests. We are committed to honouring and furthering Michael Jackson and his family's impact and legacy and look forward to an even more amazing second season in 2016 with extensive commentary on all things MJ and interviews with more special guests. Keep an eye on our social networks, as we will still be very active on them keeping our audience informed of any developments in the MJ world. From everyone here at The MJCast…best wishes for your holiday season. Stay safe, look out for each other and spread L.O.V.E. and happiness wherever you can.
According to the RIAA, Michael Jackson's Thriller has become the first ever 30x multi-platinum selling album. See 'announcement' here.
Is there a new biopic on Michael Jackson coming…but narrated by Bubbles?

Episode 020 – Taj Jackson Special
Posted on November 15, 2015 by Jamon Bull (Admin) — 19 Comments ↓
Welcome to another special episode of the internet's premiere Michael Jackson podcast, The MJCast. On this milestone 20th episode, Jamon and Q have the absolute honour of speaking with a Jackson family member for the very first time, singer of the hit pop group 3T and star of the new reality show The Jacksons: Next Generation, Taj Jackson.
Tariano Adaryll Jackson II, better known as Taj Jackson, is the eldest son of legendary guitarist of The Jacksons, Tito Jackson and his wife Delores 'Dee Dee' Martes. Being born into a musical family of stratospheric fame, Taj along with his brothers Taryll and TJ, began playing instruments from a very young age and showed strong promise as musicians in their own right.
It wasn't long before the entertainment industry noticed 3T. A record deal was signed and in 1995 their debut album Brotherhood was released…and it took the world by storm. Reaching heights not unlike what their uncle Michael and auntie Janet were accustomed to, Brotherhood sold three million copies worldwide, spawning the hit singles Anything, 24/7, Why?, Tease Me, I Need You and Gotta Be You. It wasn't long before Taj, Taryll and TJ were household names, with new music by the boys being included on the soundtracks of feature films such as Free Willy and Men in Black.
Roughly ten years after Brotherhood, the world saw the release of 3T's brilliant sophomore album Identity which features the two singles Sex Appeal and Stuck On You. Following this era, Taj and his brothers continued working on 3T but also engaged in other avenues, with TJ taking on guardianship of his uncle Michael's three children, Taryll continuing to work with his gift of music production and Taj fighting tirelessly for his family name.
Now, in 2015, after the final episode of 3T's fantastic new television show The Jacksons: Next Generation, 3T have finally dropped their long awaited third album, Chapter III. Taj has joined us today to speak all about the origins of 3T, their new album Chapter III, their new TV show and of course…thoughts and memories around his uncle, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. We hope you enjoy this special episode of The MJCast!

Q: Are shell functions exported to subprocesses, or not? According to man bash, shell functions are only exported to subprocesses if they are explicitly exported by using export or declare -x. Also, parentheses and backticks (including $(...)) run in subprocesses. So then why does this work?
    #!/bin/bash
    function x { echo x; }
    x
    (x)
    echo `x`
    echo $(x)
    bash -c x

I would expect to see "x" followed by 4 errors. In fact, I see 4 exes, followed by one error. How is this explained?

A: The bash man page states

When a simple command other than a builtin or shell function is to be executed, it is invoked in a separate execution
  environment that consists of the following.
...

*

*shell variables and functions marked for export, along with variables exported for the command, passed in the environment

and also

Command substitution, commands grouped with parentheses, and asynchronous commands are invoked in a subshell
  environment that is a duplicate of the shell environment, except that traps caught by the shell are reset to
  the values that the shell inherited from its parent at invocation. Builtin commands that are invoked as part
  of a pipeline are also executed in a subshell environment. Changes made to the subshell environment cannot
  affect the shell's execution environment.

(emphasis mine)
Only the last command bash -c x is executed in a separate execution environment.

A: Thanks to axiac for posting the manual link. Usually I've found what I need in the man page, but here it's a little deeper. So I learned:

*

*There is a thing called a "shell environment", which extends the usual process environment (environment variables, open files, etc) with defined functions (among other things, like shell variables).

*Command substitution, commands grouped with parentheses (and asynchronous commands) inherit a copy of the whole shell environment, except for traps.
The manual is a little confusing, as it also uses the phrases "execution environment" and "subshell environment" to refer to the same thing as the shell environment, but they all seem to refer to the same concept.
Thanks everyone!

China's big step
By Philip Hersh
Aug. 9, 2008 12 AM PT
Special to The Times
The rumble began slowly, softly, as the 2,008 drummers in silvery robes each worked their hands on the bronze surface of a Fou, the oldest Chinese percussion instrument.
And then the noise increased, rattling the Olympic National Stadium, waves of sound soon punctuated by fireworks as the lights on the surfaces of the drums and the rhythmic movements of the percussionists turned the countdown to Friday's start of the 2008 Olympics' opening ceremony into a blend of technology and tradition.
The striking sound and flashing lights were a fanfare for not only the Olympians who would later parade across the floor of the stadium known as the Bird's Nest. It announced to the world that China and its 1.3 billion citizens were marching boldly into the 21st century.
The Games hold such cachet in China that hosting them for the first time is a symbol of the country's power and place in the world.
Nothing said that more dramatically than the ceremony's final moment, when 1984 Olympic champion gymnast Li Ning lighted the caldron that will burn over the stadium for the next 16 days. Li, 45, was carried about 225 feet to the roof level on a harness and then mimicked walking as he followed the approximately 800-yard circumference of the upper level before touching his torch to a pipe that fed the caldron.
"Hosting the Olympic Games has been a century-old dream for the Chinese nation," said Liu Qi, president of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee.
A high-definition scroll opened at the center of the stadium floor, another use of modern wizardry to illustrate classic elements of China. Athletes for the 204 nations -- an expected 205th, Brunei, was excluded at the last minute because it had not sent athletes -- walked through paint before stepping across the vinyl scroll, leaving footprints to mark their passage.
The production mixed power, impact and a huge cast flawlessly performing formation choreography in what looked like the largest Busby Berkeley spectacular ever.
"One section required that over 600 performers should have uniform expression in their eyes, so they must have exquisite feelings, and they have to work very hard," said Wang Hong, manager of a cultural troupe in the People's Liberation Army.
Nine thousand of the 14,000 performers were PLA soldiers, who had endured some rehearsals that lasted 48 hours.
As day turned to twilight, the sky changing from light gray to gun-metal gray as the grimy air filled with humidity, 91,000 spectators began enduring six sweaty hours of pre-ceremony and ceremony.
For all its grandiosity, there was a muted, monotonal quality about much of the cultural exposition that reached a dramatic climax with 2,008 white-clad martial arts performers, bursts of fireworks and acrobats dangling from ropes at roof level.
And then came the lengthy parade of athletes, punctuated by roars for Chinese Taipei and Hong Kong and an extended ovation for China's team.
The Chinese, marching in last, put a final humanizing touch on the procession by having NBA center Yao Ming carry the flag alongside 9-year-old Lin Hao, a survivor of the May 12 earthquake in Sichuan that killed about 70,000 people.
By the time Li lighted the caldron, many of the athletes had been standing three hours in outfits that included dark suits and heavy traditional costumes. About a third chose to skip the ceremony rather than drain themselves before competing.
Other NBA players, cheered when their faces appeared on the video screens, carried the flags for several delegations, including Germany (Dirk Nowitzki), Argentina (Manu Ginobili) and Russia (Andrei Kirilenko). Tennis champion Roger Federer did the honors for Switzerland. Natalie Du Toit, a swimmer who will compete in both the Olympics and the Paralympics, was South Africa's flag-bearer.
"It's Women's Day tomorrow around the world, so they wanted a woman," Du Toit said.
Nearly a third of the flag-bearers were track and field athletes, including Sudanese refugee Lopez Lomong, a middle-distance runner who carried the U.S. flag a year after becoming a naturalized citizen.
NBA star LeBron James brought up the rear of the 596-athlete U.S. delegation, second in size to China's 639. When President Bush's face appeared on the video screen, the reaction was mainly a murmur with a few derisive whistles.
The unruly Spanish delegation briefly brought the parade to a halt by hamming for the cameras, stretching themselves around half of the track.
The two Koreas did not form a unified delegation, as they had in the 2000 Sydney Games and the 2004 Athens Games. Three nations separated the North from the South.
"The National Olympic Committees were in agreement, but the political powers were not," said Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee. "This is a setback for harmony, peace and reunification."
As Li looped the stadium as the ultimate acrobat, he closed a circle that had begun with China's return to the Olympics in 1984 at Los Angeles, where he was one of the athletes who brought home the nation's first Olympic gold medals.

Biome-BGC is working with a lots of 'a priori' unknown and hard to obtain model parameters. Therefore the parameterization is a critical step of using the model. Parameteres can be estimated using inverse calibration techniques based on measurement data, which means that the model is being calibrated. Measurement data have to be collected with respect to the model in order to compare them. Comparison is based on misfit measure (e.g. a sort of likelihood value), which is the function of the difference between observed and modelled data. It is based on Bayesian calibration with Monte Carlo search. Each parameter is varied randomly within their 'a priori' range and the model is run several times using variable model parameters. Then the 'a priori' distribution is updated with model information (distribution of the likelihood function) to define 'a posteriori' density function. From the maximum of the 'a posteriori' density function optimal parameter values can be calculated and approved. GLUE requires a prior execution of a Biome-BGC Monte Carlo Experiment (MCE), that performs an independent parameter variation within 'a priori' parameter ranges. Parameters, range of parameter values, output variables and number of randomized repetition has to be set in Biome-BGC MCE workflow, that runs off-line because of the time consuming nature of MCE jobs (usually it takes several days on, for example the EDGeS@home desktop grid). Then one or several GLUE analysis can be launched based on the results of Biome-BGC MCE completed before. The Biome-BGC Projects Database & Management System was developed to easy prepare, manage and share all of the above mentioned datasets (files), investigations and provide interaction with Taverna workflows.

Structures and Functions of the Brain
"Until recently, scientists could gather information about the human brain only by removing it from cadavers, slicing it, staining it, and taking pictures of the sliced sections. This method has many limitations, including the inability to study the brain in action. Technological advances, however, have enabled scientists to use advanced imaging methods to learn more about the function and anatomy of the brain" (BSCS, 2005, p. 1). The brain is one of the two main organs of the central nervous system. The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord. The brain lies within the cranial cavity of the skull and is surrounded by meninges, bone, and fluid for protection. "The spinal cord, made of a bundle of nerves running up and down the spine, is similar to a superhighway, speeding messages to and from the brain at every second" (Serendip, 2012, p. 1). The brain is a very complex organ composed of about one hundred billion multipolar neurons and innumerable nerve fibers. There are three major portions of the brain. Those portions include the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem. Each one of these portions has many functions and different structures.
The cerebrum is the largest portion of the brain. It is involved in motor and sensory functions, and is concerned with higher mental functions such as memory and reasoning. The cerebrum is divided into two hemispheres that are connected by the corpus collasum and separated by a layer of dura mater. The surface is marked by numerous ridges called convolutions, also known as gyri, and separated by grooves. Shallow grooves called sulcus divide each hemisphere into lobes. Deep grooves called fissures separates the right and left cerebral hemispheres. The bulk of the cerebrum is made up of white matter. The functions of the cerebrum include interpreting sensory impulses, initiating voluntary muscle movements, storing information for memory and reasoning, and determining intelligence and personality. The cerebral hemisphere is made up of several lobes, and each lobe is named after the skull bones they underlie. The frontal lobe forms the anterior portion and is separated from other lobes by a central and lateral sulcus. The parietal lobe is posterior to the frontal lobe and is separated from it by the central sulcus. The temporal lobe lies below the frontal lobe and is separated from it by the lateral sulcus. The occipital lobe is the posterior portion of the cerebrum. It is separated from the cerebellum by a shelf-like extension called the tentorium cerebelli. The insula is located deep within the lateral sulcus and hidden by lobes, and separated from them by the circular sulcus. The cerebral cortex is a thin layer of gray matter that constitutes the outermost portion of the cerebrum. It covers convolutions and dips into sulci and fissures. The cerebral cortex contains 75% of the neuron cell bodies in the nervous system. "Note that the cerebral cortex is highly wrinkled. Essentially this makes the brain more efficient, because it can increase the surface area of the brain and the amount of neurons within it" (Serendip, 2012, p. 1). There are functional regions of the cerebral cortex that include motor areas, sensory areas, and association areas. The motor areas of the cerebral cortex lie in the frontal lobes. The right cerebral hemisphere controls left skeletal movements and vice versa. The broca's area coordinates muscular actions of the tongue, mouth and larynx. The frontal eye field controls voluntary movements of the eye and eyelids. The area in front of the frontal eye field controls muscular movement of the hands and fingers. The sensory areas of the cerebral cortex interpret sensory impulses that give rise to feelings and sensations. The parietal lobes deal with skin sensations. The posterior part of the occipital lobe deals with vision. The temporal lobes deal with hearing, and the central and lateral sulci deal with taste. Centers deep within the cerebrum deal with smell. Association areas of the cerebral cortex function in analysis and interpretation of sensory experiences. They are also involved with memory, reasoning, verbalization, judgment, and emotional feelings. The frontal lobes are concerned with higher intellectual processes such as concentration, planning, and complex problem solving, and judging possible consequences of behavior. The parietal lobes aid in understanding speech and choosing words needed to express thoughts and feelings. The temporal lobes aid in understanding speech and in reading printed words. They are also involved in memory of visual scenes, music and other complex sensory patterns. The occipital lobes aid in analyzing visual patterns and combining visual images. Both hemispheres of the brain are involved with basic functions. These functions include receiving and analyzing sensory impulses, controlling skeletal muscles, and storing information. In most people one side acts as a dominant hemisphere for certain functions. However, in some people the hemispheres are equally dominant. The left hemisphere controls speech, writing, reading, verbal, analytical and computational skills. The right hemisphere controls motor tasks, interpreting musical patterns, nonverbal visual experiences, and emotional and intuitive thought processes. The corpus collosum allows for the dominant side to control the motor cortex of the non-dominant side, and the non-dominant side to send sensory information to the dominant. The brain stem is never tissue that connects the cerebrum to the spinal cord. The parts of the brain stem include the diencephalon, the midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata, and the reticular formation. The diencephalon is located between the cerebral hemisphere and above the midbrain. There are four main parts to the diencephalon which include the thalamus, hypothalamus, limbic system, and pineal gland. The thalamus is the central relay station for sensory impulses to the cerebral cortex. This does not include the sense of smell however. The cortex can communicate with the thalamus through descending fibers. The thalamus can't pinpoint sensory stimulation but produces general awareness of pain, touch, and temperature. The hypothalamus maintains homeostasis by serving as a link between the nervous and endocrine system. The hypothalamus also regulates activities such as heart rate and arterial blood pressure, body temperature, water and electrolyte balance, body weight and controls hunger, and control of movements and glandular secretions of stomach and intestines. The limbic system is involved in emotional experience and expression. It modifies the way a person acts by producing such feelings as fear, anger, pleasure, and sorrow. The pineal gland is a small cone-shaped endocrine gland attached to the thalamus. The midbrain is located between the diencephalon and pons. It serves as a reflex center for vision and hearing. The midbrain contains nerve fibers that serve as a motor pathway between cerebrum and lower parts of the nervous system. "Sensory axons, including those of the spinothalamic tract also ascend, along the front of the midbrain behind the motor tracts" (McCaffrey, 2008, p. 1). Pons is located on the underside of the brain stem that separates the midbrain from the medulla oblongata. The dorsal portion consists of longitudinal nerve fibers that relay impulses to and from medulla oblongata and cerebrum (BSCS, 2005). The ventral portion consists of transverse nerve fibers that transmit impulses from cerebrum to centers within cerebellum. The medulla oblongata enlarged continuation of spinal cord extending from the pons to foramen magnum. All ascending and descending nerve fibers connecting brain and spinal cord pass through it due to its location. "Because the nuclei of the vagus nerve are found in the medulla, it is a center for circulation and respiration. It is also quite important to swallowing. It controls muscles of the pharynx, larynx and velum" (McCaffrey, 2008, p. 1). The reticular formation is a network of nerve fibers scattered throughout to medulla oblongata, pons and midbrain. It signals the cerebral cortex with sensory impulses activating it into a state of wakefulness. Without this the cortex remains unaware and cannot interpret sensory information or carry on thought processes. Sleep results from decreased activity in reticular formation. If it ceases to function because of injury a person remains in a comatose state.
The cerebellum is a large mass of tissue located below occipital lobes of the cerebrum and behind the medulla oblongata and pons. There are two hemispheres of the cerebellum. These hemispheres are connected by the vermis, separated by a layer of dura mater, and covered by a thin layer of gray matter called the cerebellar cortex. The cerebellum functions as a reflex center in control of skeletal muscle movements and helps maintain posture. The cerebellum is made mainly of white matter which is due to the presence of an insulating material called myelin. There are three main parts of the cerebellum which are the cerebrocerebellum, vestibulocerebellum, and spinocerebellum. The cerebrocerebellum receives signals from cerebrum. The vestibulocerebellum receives input from the brain stem. The spinocerebellum receives electrical signals from the spinal cord. Damage to the cerebrum may cause tremors, inaccurate movements of voluntary muscles, loss of muscle tone, or a distorted walk.
