Jason Gay tracks the improbable rise of a champion. Ashley Fiolek rides pretty. In dirt-bike racing, the ability to push the edge between risky and reckless is often the difference between becoming a champion and remaining what’s-her-face, but Fiolek makes crazy look smooth. She blazes out of the start, full throttle, and rips around corners like a surfer gliding atop a wave. When Fiolek hits a jump, she can twist her bike in midair and fly almost parallel to the ground, an exhilarating maneuver called “scrubbing” that shaves seconds off a racer’s time but is also dangerous—especially when the motorbike you ride weighs more than 200 pounds, and you weigh less than half that, as the five-foot-two Fiolek does.
“She blows my mind,” says fifteen-time motocross champion Ricky Carmichael. She was getting on the bike. Jim and his wife, Roni, were stunned when they learned Ashley was profoundly deaf. 6 Iconic Scenes Ripped Off From Lesser-Known Movies. Some movie scenes are more famous than the movies they come from -- did you know, for example, that there's a whole film of Dustin Hoffman crossing streets with a dude dressed like a cowboy? However, it turns out that the most iconic scenes in some classic films (or even in the entire careers of the guys who directed them) are totally lifted from other movies you probably haven't seen.

Greg: “So what is this article going to be about?” Me: “Well, my goal is to humanize you and give people an idea of what the last five years have been like for you. You might not realize it, but you’re one of the biggest enigmas in the NBA. Because of your injuries, most fans haven’t seen you play.
And since you never do interviews, they don’t know anything about you off the court either.” Greg: “I know. It’s hard to believe you could say this about a former no. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft who also had naked pictures of himself leaked onto the Internet, but Greg Oden is as private a person as I’ve ever known. Our friendship dates back to the summer of 2001, when I joined Greg’s AAU team shortly before we both entered eighth grade. Since he was the only other introvert on the team, Greg and I immediately hit it off.
And now, with his career in limbo after all that’s happened to him, he’s the same guy today. “You’re a fun-loving guy with a ton of personality,” I said. Uprising: Hip Hop and the LA Riots (2012.

Parsons Few Iraq contractors have come under fire as much as Parsons, who reportedly mismanaged the construction a police academy so poorly that human waste dripped from its ceilings.
Far from being an isolated incident, reports from federal government auditors revealed lackluster work on 13 of the 14 Iraq projects entrusted to Parsons. Unfortunately, that hasn’t stopped the Pasedena-based firm from making off with $540 million in U.S. government funds for the poorly executed reconstruction projects at Iraq’s healthcare centers and fire stations. “This is the lens through which Iraqis will now see America,” lamented Rep. 12. “First Kuwaiti was not the lowest bidder”, complained Framco senior vice-president Gilles Kacha. 13.

Riusuke Fukahori Paints Three-Dimensional Goldfish Embedded in Layers of Resin.
First: watch the video. Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori paints three-dimensional goldfish using a complex process of poured resin. The fish are painted meticulously, layer by layer, the sandwiched slices revealing slightly more about each creature, similar to the function of a 3D printer.

CrackingCreditCode.jpg (600×1708) Luhn algorithm. The Luhn algorithm or Luhn formula, also known as the "modulus 10" or "mod 10" algorithm, is a simple checksum formula used to validate a variety of identification numbers, such as credit card numbers, IMEI numbers, National Provider Identifier numbers in US and Canadian Social Insurance Numbers. It was created by IBM scientist Hans Peter Luhn and described in U.S.
Patent No. 2,950,048, filed on January 6, 1954, and granted on August 23, 1960. The algorithm is in the public domain and is in wide use today. It is specified in ISO/IEC 7812-1.[1] It is not intended to be a cryptographically secure hash function; it was designed to protect against accidental errors, not malicious attacks. Most credit cards and many government identification numbers use the algorithm as a simple method of distinguishing valid numbers from collections of random digits. Description[edit] Assume an example of an account number "7992739871" that will have a check digit added, making it of the form 7992739871x: World’s weirdest hotels. Smart tips to make life easier.

The self-made billionaire was a part of the founding team at PayPal. He took his winnings from that expedition and went on to found LinkedIn.
Hoffman knows what success is. I'd like to tell you that I've been chumming around with him; that in his jet somewhere over the Pacific on the way to his private island, we bonded. I'd also like to tell you that he gave me a fistful of stock tips and a couple of hundred thousand LinkedIn options. Instead, I have to report that I never met the fellow.

LOTS OF PUNS. ...A guy goes into a nice restaurant bar wearing a shirt open at the collar and is met by a bouncer who tells him he must wear a necktie to gain admission. So the guy goes out to his car and he looks around for a necktie and discovers that he just doesn't have one. He sees a set of jumper cables in his trunk.
In desperation he ties these around his neck, manages to fashion a fairly acceptable looking knot and lets the ends dangle free. He goes back to the restaurant and the bouncer carefully looks him over for a few minutes and then says, "Well, OK, I guess you can come in -- just don't start anything.

I'm afraid I can't vouch for its authenticity, tell you where it came from, who compiled the list, who Kevin Harris is, or anything like that. Still, the quotes are interesting and enlightening.] "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.

When you were a little kid, you probably got on your parents' nerves quite a few times by responding to everything they said with the word "Why? " Most of their responses involved breaking down the way the world works or the importance of eating your vegetables until they devolved into the classic parent answer, "Because! " But if you asked your mom or dad about the following nine normal human behaviors, they genuinely wouldn't be able to answer you (and would probably make something up) because even the brightest minds in science still aren't sure why we do these things.
