"The Daily Show" host notes that the New Jersey governor has never trafficked in vitriol
Chris Christie's epic, nearly two hour press conference Thursday was one for the ages — showing fifty shades of the New Jersey governor, as he circumnavigated the emotional globe from contrition to defiance.
All eyes were on the GOP star as he explained that he had no knowledge of a plan by top aides to block access to the George Washington Bridge in an act of possible political retribution. What upset Christie most was that the actions of members of his administration were so out of sync with the "tone" he had tried to establish with his administration, Jon Stewart noted on Thursday's "The Daily Show."
"Intimidation, vengeance, vitriol, that's not the tone," Stewart said. "Chris Christie's dulcet, melodic tone. Who could forget what that sounds like?"
Also read: John Oliver Bashes Sarah Palin's New TV Show: 'She's Going to Do to Sports What She Did to Politics'
With that Stewart took out his whistle and tried to find the right note. It was a quest that took him through the governor's greatest hits, landing on instance after instance of Christie berating people at public events for questioning his judgment or leadership.
"I think I finally figured out the tone he's set — F U sharp," Stewart said.
Though his bluster has made him a YouTube star, Christie is not above saying he's sorry. The governor announced at Thursday's press conference that he planned to travel to Fort Lee to apologize personally to its citizens and to Democratic Mayor Mark Sokolich. Reports indicate that Fort Lee may have been singled out for traffic snarls by Christie aides after the mayor declined to endorse the governor's re-election bid.
Stewart noted the town's recent history of gridlock, as he questioned the wisdom of such a visit.
"When are you gonna go?" Stewart asked. "Rush hour? Are you going to be going up there at rush hour? Maybe have a police escort? Maybe a motorcade? I'm just saying — maybe you should Skype this one."

It was a troubled Thanksgiving weekend for David Hasselhoff and his former wife.
The Baywatch star has returned home after spending two days in hospital, his attorney has confirmed.
Although the reason for his medical stay has not been disclosed, David is "home now and he's fine".
A spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department said paramedics arrived at the actor's home on Friday morning to administer medical aid and transported a patient by ambulance to Cedars Sinai Medical Center.
Meanwhile, David's ex-wife Pamela Bach (pictured in 2005) was arrested for driving under the influence in LA on Saturday night.
"There was no bail. She is fine. She was picked up and driven home by a friend," her publicist has revealed.

No. 71 Dean Street
The present building was erected in 1905 by
C. F. Kearley, builder, probably to the design of
E. Keynes Purchase. (ref. 38) It has an assertive front in
an eclectic early Renaissance style, built of red
bricks with stone dressings. It is four storeys high,
the upper part being three windows wide and
crowned with an ogee-sided and pedimented gable.
This building replaced a house of c. 1756,
built at the same time as the former Nos. 72 and
73 (see table on page 250). The first occupant,
from 1760 until his death in 1795, was Ralph
Willett, a wealthy collector of books and objets
d'art. Willett had built in 1752–60 a fine
country house at Merly, Great Canford, Dorset,
which is said to have been 'from a design of his
own', and added wings in 1772 containing elaborate stucco decorations: this house was pulled
down in the early nineteenth century. (ref. 39)
The Dean Street house was no doubt similar
externally and in plan to the contemporary Nos.
72 and 73. Photographs taken in 1905 (ref. 40) show
that it contained some noteworthy interiors
(Plates 114, 115, 128a). One room, probably
the first-floor front, had walls and ceiling
decorated with a lavish display of Rococo plasterwork, of a quality comparable with that in No. 1
Greek Street (Plate 115). Another room, perhaps the ground-floor back, had an excellent
ceiling in the Adam manner (Plate 114b). As
at No. 73 the rear wall contained a projecting
three-sided bay.
Early in 1905 the attention of the London
County Council was drawn to the impending
demolition of the house, with its fine interiors,
by C. F. Hayward, the District Surveyor, but
it was decided that the ceilings and plasterwork
were not worth preservation at the Council's
expense. (ref. 41)

The wand is the instrument of invocation of spirits. In most traditions, the wand represents the element of fire (in other traditions, earth, air, water or spirit) and symbolizes the life-force within the Witch. The wand dates back to prehistoric times. The Greek god Hermes is represented with a caduceus, a wand entwined with snake and winged top, a symbol of power, wisdom and healing.
Mini Copper Chakra Wand
This wand features a copper base, crystal point and sphere, along with chakra stones. Approx. 4.5 inches.
Item #: TM876, Price: $29.99

Meadowlands Environment Center
The Meadowlands Environment Center (MEC) was formed to increase awareness and enjoyment of the Meadowlands District's unique and vital urban ecosystem. The New Jersey Meadowlands Commission and Ramapo College of New Jersey entered into a partnership in 2003 to develop a comprehensive environmental education program for schools and the general public. Together, the NJMC and the experienced team of educators from Ramapo College encourage the use of the environment as a classroom, increase awareness of the natural resources of the Meadowlands, and help communities recognize the critical issues that affect the region.
Learn more about the MEC.
The MEC offers innovative, hands-on, environmental science programs for Grades K-12 at the NJMC's Center for Environmental and Scientific Education (Science Center), an NJMC facility run by Ramapo College of New Jersey. Approximately 15,000 students particpate in MEC education programs each year. Classes cover a wide array of scientific disciplines including ecology, chemistry, biology, physics, natural history and astronomy. All programs comply with New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards.
The Science Center was the first public building in New Jersey to be awarded LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum Certification – the highest rating from the U.S. Green Building Council. The Science Center itself is used as a teaching tool: educators explain to students how its rooftop solar panels, recycled building materials and other aspects of sustainable building benefit the environment.

I liked Dr. Sawant's take on Imam and Sapna!
Edit: Even though I like Urvashi, I would feel proud if Sapna won! But I think she is too liberal for our aam janta's taste! Sad.

Upcoming Events
Comic Book DiplomacyOctober 10 - November 26, 2014
Opening Reception: October 10
"Comic Book Diplomacy," an exhibition by New York- and New Orleans-based artist Christopher Saucedo, is a series of branded inkjet collages pulled from the artist's collection of internationally published comic books amassed from decades of overseas travel. Using a red-hot steel branding technique, the artist has removed the center of each book and replaced them with the centers of books from other nations, while embroidering traditional geographical map symbols onto the surface. The result is a body of work that presents a geo-political narrative while also raising questions about the collective, global "moral compass" presented through the tropes and archetypes of comic books.
Quantum Harmonic OscillatorOctober 10 - November 26, 2014
Opening Reception: October 10
"Quantum Harmonic Oscillator" is a site-specific, single-channel video installation by Los Angeles-based artist Adam Ferriss. This large-scale, video installation was created by a custom set of software programmed by the artist to explore the "abyssal plains, organic patterns, and generative forms that emerge from digital feedback algorithms." Using open sourced hardware and software, Ferriss' work explores his interest in the creation of naturally evolving forms from purely numerical input, by creating graphical data that recursively influences itself.
Symbols, Schemes, and Procedures: Works on Paper from the Permanent CollectionOctober 10 - November 14, 2014
Opening Reception: October 10
"Symbols, Schemes, and Procedures: Works on Paper from the Permanent Collection" is an exhibition that pulls from art works collected by UAB over the last 40 years. The exhibit presents a sampling of the various functions served through the practice of printmaking, by several master artists of the 20th and 21st century who are not necessarily primarily known as printmakers. Artists featured in this exhibit include James Rosenquist, Robert Rauschenburg, Christo, Willie Cole, Dennis Oppenheim, Chryssa, and more.

Seattle Times columnist
If you wanted a table at Canlis for Valentine's Day, too late. The restaurant filled its Feb. 14 reservations in less than an hour. But there is one table left up for grabs — the über-romantic Canlis Cachè, a private room-with-a-view hidden away upstairs. (John Kerry celebrated his anniversary there with wife Teresa, and there have been too many proposals there to count.) "It's gotta be the greatest table for Valentine's Day this side of the Mississippi," says owner Mark Canlis. "It's your own private Canlis, that's what it is."
But all that cachet comes with a price: $2,000, for starters. The restaurant is auctioning the room for Valentine's Day dinner at a minimum bid of $2,000, which will be used to fly home a local soldier just in time for a romantic dinner with his or her spouse, also at Canlis, on Feb. 14. To bid on the Canlis Cachè, call 206-283-3313 by Feb. 11. ...
THERE'S A PREGNANCY EPIDEMIC in Seattle, which, incidentally, has just been named No. 4 on Fit Pregnancy magazine's list of best cities in America to have a baby. As it turns out, we're also the best city in which to have a mommy manicure. That's because Seattle-based nail salon Butter London exclusively carries 3 Free Lacquers, a collection of nontoxic nail polish that is safe for moms-to-be. Co-founders Nonie Creme and Sasha Muir don't just talk the talk — they're both pregnant. The fashionable mum's color of choice? Yummy Mummy, of course. ...
HAPPY HOUR AT HOTEL MONACO just got a little happier with the addition of "Guitar Hero III." As part of the hotel's "Playful Escape" theme, guests can now rock with plastic guitars during the 5 p.m. wine hour on Fridays in the lobby. Ooh, Barracuda! ...
ROSES ARE RED, violets are blue — but glassybaby votives are forever, and now you can have them delivered to your door. The Seattle-based company is offering "bouquets" of handblown glassybaby as a Valentine alternative with its new "Fresh From the Oven" same-day delivery service (www.glassybaby.com). So if flowers mean "I'm sorry" and chocolate means "I love you," glassybaby must mean: "Valentine's Day is a fake holiday." It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to be words. ...
WASHINGTON WIFE SWAP: Sarina McDonald of Suquamish in Kitsap County stars in this week's episode of the ABC reality show "Wife Swap," airing at 8 p.m. Wednesday on KOMO-TV.

Tune in to see whether McDonald's alter ego, Ravenna Black, trades in her fishnets for flannel. ...

Pain researchers published a study this week in the journal Nature Methods indicating that mice have different responses to men and women. Put simply: Mice get stressed out from being around male researchers. The presence of women doesn't have this effect.
This is huge. The researchers were able to determine this by testing the pain threshold of the mice on something called the Mouse Grimace Scale. In the grip of terror in the presence of large males, the mice experienced low levels of pain, similar to the way you don't notice you have stubbed your toe as you flee in panic from a pursuing yeti. In response to female researchers, the mice felt no such stress.
The big takeaway: Experimenter sex can thus affect apparent baseline responses in behavioral testing.
And we haven't been accounting for this at all. Jeffrey Mogil, the head author of the study, told the Verge, I think that it may have confounded, to whatever degree, some very large subset of existing research.
Decades of science are going to be perhaps not voided but certainly called into question. Did you in fact have a negative reaction to that makeup, scientists must now ask their cosmetics-testing mouse subjects, or were you so terrified by the giant testosterone monster in the lab with you that you weren't able to form an opinion about it at all?
And it wasn't just human males. Dogs, cats and guinea pigs were among other stressful male presences, the scientists found.
Women in science: They're not just a good idea. They're preferred by mice everywhere.

I have tried many ways to fix it but the flash disapears when I change the fit type
You have width, height, and scale parameters. If set scale to - no scale, it won't break proportions. Or if you know original width and height set it.
I should also ask the author for a tiny enhancement. if the shadow under the box is made with respect to the image it is showing (which may be transparent in some parts) it will give the whole thing a great depth.
However the problem is it will shift the menu bar (in position-0 my_beez20 nature template) down and it is annoying.
I hope the developer continue his great work and correct the bug.
Thanks for reporting your issue, but I wish you had contacted me regarding the issue rather than post it here in the review. I try to be very responsive to errors or other issues with my extensions.
Version 1.1 is now available and resolves this issue - tested against the beez template.

Make no mistake, there will be a sequel. Clary may not wind up having the same pop-culture impact as Bella and Katniss, but like it or not, this won't be the last time you hear from her.
Aug 20, 2013There are elements worth celebrating. The movie is thankfully less self-serious than the mopey "Twilight" films. The Mortal Instruments revels in its own camp. But there is plenty of room for improvement. The action flick is overly long, complicated and, even by teen romance standards, cringe-worthy in its cheesiness.
The movie blasts by for a while as an odd and busy slice of highly watchable garbage.
There's so much bouncing around in tone and story that this film never really finds its footing. It flounders around trying to figure out what it should be, and never really settles on anything.
Aug 28, 2013Not only have we seen this all before, but we were probably hoping to not see it again.
These kids have to contrive magical pretexts just to lay hands on each other, and boy, are their excuses rotten.
Aug 20, 2013If only the fantasy surrounding her made a lick of sense. Here, the Muggle types are known as the "Mundane." An apt label for a wanna-be franchise with plenty of sheen and nothing to say.

Sep 19, 2013I absolutely loved this movie. The books have a great story line and I think the director did a wonderful job at displaying that in the film. I don't think that there were too many twists in the movie. I found that the entire time I was watching it I wanted to know what happened next. Where as usually I don't get that interested. I don't know exactly what about the movie,critics didn't like but the only things that I have heard bad about it is that it had too much crammed into it. I feel just the opposite. I have read the books and if anything they could have added more to the movie. I like to watch movies that keep me entertained not bore me to sleep. The whole point of having a young adult book or film is to have a really great story line so you keep your readers into it. And I don't care what anybody else thinks this movie had a great story line!… Expand
Aug 21, 2013I'm rating this based purely on how much I liked the movie. If I focused on plot gaps or script awkwardness, my rating would be much lower. However, I watched this (yes, I actually watched it it, unlike, I suspect, the writers of earlier user reviews) purely for kicks. The kick of a hot young cast, with hot older supporting actors, battling it up fantasy-style in New York. The CGI was impeccable, the action fun, and the script mostly not cringe-inducing. That is more than can be said for your typical YA movie. All in all I got what I came for-- fun.… Expand
Aug 23, 2013I know people don't want to hear this, but lets the facts, it's a combination of "Twilight", "Harry Potter" and possibly other books series that you might have loved. There's nothing new here, it's just the next big teen movie. If your a girl and love "Twilight" then you'll absolutely adore this movie. If you're like me and were disappointed with its lack of originality, then you'll probably hate this movie. Overall, it's from book series that you've read before. Be sure to check out my YouTube channel "TheMovieManLife".… Expand
Dec 7, 2013Really disappointed. The books were much better. They took a lot of small important details that made the books great out of the movie and crammed it all together. A person who hadnt read the books couldnt even get into this garbage.. I waited forever for this (horrible) movie. If i were the author id be ashamed, they ruined her books.… Expand
Jan 22, 2014I have read all the books; and I am an older woman - not a teenager. I waited with such anticipation to see the movie (especially after the Hunger Games movies). What a disappointment and waste of my money. The two main characters lacked in chemistry and what's with putting vampire bites on Simon's neck? Valentine, who is the reason for all this drama taking place is barely covered. Maybe if I had not read the books (which are amazing) I would not feel this way.
It's a shame when producers and directors take a great story with great characters and change things. The reason the book is a best seller is because of how it is written and the development of the storyline.
I like what Kevin Kosner said on the night show about his movie Dances With Wolves and its length. He said, if I am going to make a movie I want to make sure the integrity of the story is not compromised and the movie will be as long as necessary to tell the story!!!
Authors who sell the movie rights to their books (especially if they have such a strong fan base) should make sure the contract does not allow for such drastic changes - or better yet - save money from the sale of your books and produce it yourself or at least co-produce.
No since making any sequels for me - I won't wast my time.… Expand

A Calm Interlude A light grey elephant sat comfortably on the terrace, overlooking the palace grounds. The plush, calico cushions of a tawny, straw entwined chair did not encourage any droopage of posture from the young king. The morning sun however had arisen past the pale parapets covered by ivy, prompting Babar to loosen his wrist cuffs due to the humid cotton. Currently, he was eyeing a neat stack of ordinances and letters enveloped by Manila paper that lay besides his half-eaten pumpernickel and egg salad sandwich. Pompadour, his trusty advisor and minister of royal protocol, had assembled the documents which were gathered together of course in alphabetical order and fastened by a coral pink bow. The princely figure inwardly chuckled at his servant's flamboyant sense of fashion, which was countless times more dapper than his own modest green suit, a humble drapery that was much preferred.A Calm Interlude by ashleyjordan

The pilot reported that the helicopter lost tail rotor response while approaching an offshore platform. The pilot elected to make an autorotative emergency landing to the water. According to witnesses, the helicopter began the autorotation and proceeded to rotate to the left and 'pitch nose down.' The helicopter entered a steep descent, and the pilot reported that he could not control the helicopter. Prior to impacting the water, the helicopter assumed level flight and the emergency floats deployed. Upon impact with the water, the helicopter rolled right and came to rest inverted in the water. According to the operator's maintenance superintendent, a mechanic either omitted a bolt's cotter key or installed it improperly, which resulted in the disconnect of the tail rotor control rod assembly from the control lever located at the rear of the tail rotor gear box.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Greg Moran and David Back always had a strong passion for India, dating back to their time together at University of Pennsylvania where they pursued a course in International Relations. Both had a strong group of friends here too. "This helped us gain an early perspective on India. Post-school, we began focusing on sustainable enterprises," recalls Moran.
Moran, 27, and Back, 28, considered the idea of a membership-based self-drive, car rental service. "I spoke with Moran about starting a car-sharing (as car clubs in the US are called) company abroad, taking a business model that worked in developed countries to developing economies," says Back.
After extensive research, they concluded that India was probably the best country worldwide for car clubs. Back says they were shocked by the absence of such a service in India.
Starting out
Back and Moran felt Bengaluru's population demographics was best suited to the concept and thus launched Zoom Inc., in January 2011. But even before they got started, they hit a road block. While executing the project, the duo realized the Indian government has a stringent law governing self-drive car companies. It stipulates that an entrant must start with a minimum of 50 cars and have five offices across the state of operation. "Given that we are a startup, this was naturally difficult to meet," says Moran, CEO, Zoom. Back serves as the President of the company.
Heavy brainstorming led to a solution. They struck a 70:30 revenue-sharing partnership arrangement with Ramesh Tours and Travels, a local car rental operator in Bengaluru, six months ago which allowed them to leverage the name for initial operations. This ensured that Zoom had complete insurance on all cars and total protection under regulations.
Ramesh Tours has acquired seven cars for Zoom in their name which enables the startup to leverage necessary regulatory requirements. "We found it a unique concept for Bengaluru. We partnered with them as we think the service will work," says Ramesh Babu, MD, Ramesh Tours.
Moran and Back have spent the last two years on market research, general due diligence, developing backend systems, in-car features, and the website. By the time this issue of Entrepreneur is out, Zoom would have formally launched operations.
Providing a choice
Zoom works on a membership-based model offering self-drive cars on hire, either by the hour or by the day without any rigid hire packages. The average price to rent a car would be Rs. 180-Rs. 225 per hour. An integrated booking and billing platform lets members reserve a car through the website or a mobile application, but only on advance payment using a credit or debit card. "Our service is designed to be hyper-local and will allow members to access cars that are within a short walk from their place of residence or work," explains Moran.
Each Zoom car will be equipped with a seven-inch tablet to help with navigation, also pre-bundled with the mobile application if members need to extend their reservation. "We are helping people deal with traffic and parking problems by providing real-time traffic monitoring solutions in the vehicle's navigation system," explains Moran. To ensure hassle-free parking for members, Zoom will partner with various establishments across the city, like shopping malls, to provide dedicated parking spots.
Back and Moran say they are keen to solve the lack of choice in personal and private transportation in Indian cities with a simplified service, better distribution and using advantages of technology as an enabler. They want to bring the benefits of car ownership to countless Indians who do not wish to own a car but would like to access it on select occasions.
Making it work
Zoom's customer profile will vary depending on the location of its vehicles. "For residential complexes, we expect to attract a customer belonging to a family owning one vehicle, where other members too know to drive. In most instances, they will need a car, for more than a few occasions a month. We found that they would like to have access to another car," says Moran reiterating the market opportunity for Zoom. "Often their buildings do not have parking for a second vehicle."
At university campuses, Zoom will target graduate students with disposable income as well as college faculty. Hotel guests and corporate employees are another potential customer base for the startup. It will be adding luxury vehicles to its fleet and has tied up with German automobile major BMW for the same. Zoom expects to launch this service by July 2013.
Money metrics
Zoom was bootstrapped till the summer of 2012 when it raised its first round of capital funding. "We raised funds from various high net worth angel investors in the US, including Empire Angels," says Moran, who mentioned they secured over $100,000 in initial funding from these individuals.
Graham Gullans, Founder of US-based Empire Angels, says he invested solely betting on the team and corporate partners. "Greg and David were able to accomplish a good deal while living in the US and hit the ground running when they moved to India. We are glad we invested early, enabling them to launch quickly," says Gullans. While there is no credible study, industry veterans and operators say the car rental industry in India is valued at Rs. 15,900 crore and growing at over 10 percent annually. Over 95 percent of this segment is unorganized and a large section is chauffeur-driven. "We view the market as still largely undefined since a service like Zoom has never been introduced," says Moran. Zoom is targeting revenues of more than Rs. 10 lakh in its first four months of operations starting February 2013 with seven customers till date. Moran claims their long-term goal is to touch Rs. 500 crore within the next few years.
"Zoom needs to target other large markets in India once they prove their business model in Bengaluru. It can be easily scaled up on successful growth but needs to watch out for competitors," foresees Gullans. The company is looking at Delhi and Mumbai as expansion targets. "Doing business in India is certainly chaotic. I like dealing with individuals, and find larger organizations quite difficult. For all the difficulties, it has also been rewarding. Starting Zoom has unquestionably been the hardest thing I have ever done and we are just beginning," says Back.

30 Jan 2004 -- Bangkok – The success of eradication of bird flu in affected countries in Asia heavily depends on mass cullings, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said today."Mass cullings in affected areas are currently considered as the most effective way of stamping out the highly contagious virus that has so far hit 10 countries in Asia," said Hans Wagner, senior animal production and health officer. "We are, however, concerned that mass cullings are not taking place at a speed we consider absolutely necessary to contain the virus H5N1 in the region. Compensation is often a limiting factor. As long as small farmers and commercial producers, especially in poorer countries, do not receive an adequate financial incentive for killing their chickens, they will probably not apply suggested emergency measures," he said. "Many of these small poultry producers are dependent on selling their chickens and eggs on local markets to earn a daily income. The fear of losing their animals without some kind of compensation is a real threat to them which governments and the international community urgently need to address," Wagner said. Poorer countries in particular would need international financial assistance and advice to address the problem, FAO said. The campaign against avian flu can only be successful if we convince poultry farmers in all affected countries to apply drastic emergency measures such as cullings, the FAO expert said. "There is a real threat that the virus may linger on in poorer countries which are without adequate resources to apply control measures." To date, more than 25 million birds have been culled in the campaign against avian flu. RAP 04/04More information at:http://www.fao.org/ag/againfo/subjects/en/health/diseases-cards/special_avian.html

Friday Asia Update: Top Five Stories for the Week of January 10, 2014
Darcie Draudt, Charles McClean, Will Piekos, and Sharone Tobias look at the top stories in Asia this week.
1. Bangladesh's governing party wins vote despite unrest. Bangladesh's Awami League won 232 of 300 seats in the country's new Parliament, with nearly half of the seats uncontested due to a boycott from the opposition Bangladesh National Party (BNP), which labeled the election a sham. The government declared the average turnout to be 39.8 percent, though the opposition leader, Khaleda Zia, said that the turnout was closer to 10 percent. Twenty-two protesters were killed on Sunday, and seven were killed on Monday; the government also arrested seven high-ranking BNP leaders this week, including a close aide to Zia. The government has also demanded that the BNP cut ties with the banned Islamic party Jamaat-e-Islami. Read more »
