Viacom takes a blow in YouTube copyright case
Original post made by Googlewatch, News on Mountain View's largest employer, on Jun 24, 2010
Judge Louis Stanton in New York granted YouTube's motion to dismiss the case on June 23, saying that YouTube had safe harbor under existing law, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The law says YouTube is not responsible for policing its user-uploaded videos for copyrighted content, although YouTube is required to remove such content when notified.
Media giant Viacom plans to appeal the case.

Massimo Ferretti and Fausto Puglisi
Emanuel Ungaro is back! A year after it was announced that Giles Deacon was stepping down from his short-lived role as creative director, the French fashion house is set to be revived.
According to WWD, a new team has taken the reigns with up-and-coming Sicilian talent Fausto Puglisi as Ungaro's new creative director. The brand has embarked on a partnership with Aeffe, an Italian manufacturer who also controls Alberta Ferretti and Moschino, with plans to return to the Paris catwalk next season.
'Emanuel Ungaro is a brand that has left a significant mark and still has a lot to say,' said Aeffe chairman Massimo Ferretti. 'Puglisi is a young talent with an international visibility, but with strong roots in our Latin world, and who will be able to turn into a new and contemporary line.'
If you're unfamiliar with the name, fret not - Mr Puglisi already has the backing of the fashion heavyweights. Anna Dello Russo has been a fan of his wares since he launched his own line two years ago and he credits her for launching his 'Roman gladiator style'. As if that wasn't backing enough, Beyoncé, M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj have also worn his designs.
ADR and Beyonce wearing Fausto Puglisi
So what can we expect from the Italian designer's first collection? As Puglisi told The Telegraph, he takes cues from his obsession with the Roman Empire. 'For me, Rome means power, sex, decadence, delirium, skirts, pleats, peplums, embroidery. And these words always inspire my work.' Yep, Ungaro's set to go gladiatorial.
The house has seen a revolving door of creative directors, from Giambattista Valli and Esteban Cortozar (who refused to work with artistic adviser Lindsay Lohan) to Estrella Archs and our very own Giles. Here's hoping Puglisi is set to stay.

AMERICA/NICARAGUA - Nicaragua celebrates 450 years of devotion to Mary
El Viejo (Agenzia Fides) - The Episcopal Conference of Nicaragua makes a pilgrimage tomorrow, December 6, at the Basilica of Our Lady of Nicaragua, in the town of El Viejo, in Chinandega, where a Mass will be celebrated for the traditional "Lavada de la Plata ", the feast in which thousands of Nicaraguans and pilgrims from other countries come to pay homage to the Immaculate Conception of Mary. The main Mass will begin at 10 am and there will be, however, other celebrations because the 450th anniversary of the arrival of the sacred image in the country will be celebrated.
According to the note sent to Fides Agency by the Episcopal Conference, there are three versions of the story about the arrival of the little statue in Nicaragua: it was delivered by St. Teresa of Avila to her brother Lorenzo so he would be protected during his travels in Latin America. After stopping in El Viejo in his journey to Peru, Lorenzo could not leave due to a series of phenomena that convinced him to leave the image of Mary there, immediately worshipped by the local population. The Bishops state that "all the stories show Santa Teresa's desire that the image of Our Lady accompanies and protects her family during the travels to the new world, and also the willingness of the Madonna to stay in Nicaragua. The ways of God are incalculable and, legends or stories, the truth is that the Blessed Virgin in the mystery of the Immaculate Conception, chose the village of El Viejo to begin to 'win' the hearts of Nicas and from there it spread to all others."
The church was declared a National Shrine on October 8, 1995; Pope John Paul II, in his second visit to Nicaragua declared it a Minor Basilica on February 7, 1996; the Episcopal Conference of Nicaragua, on 13 December 2001, declared the Virgin Immaculate Patroness of Nicaragua.

Controlled Freedom is No Freedom
The so-called maintained or controlled freedom, which is very evil, will not succeed.
We live in a time of information abundance, which far too many of us see as information overload. With the sum total of human knowledge, past and present, at our fingertips, we're faced with a crisis of attention: which ideas should we engage with, and why? Big Think is an evolving roadmap to the best thinking on the planet — the ideas that can help you think flexibly and act decisively in a multivariate world.
A word about Big Ideas and Themes — The architecture of Big Think
Big ideas are lenses for envisioning the future. Every article and video on bigthink.com and on our learning platforms is based on an emerging "big idea" that is significant, widely relevant, and actionable. We're sifting the noise for the questions and insights that have the power to change all of our lives, for decades to come. For example, reverse-engineering is a big idea in that the concept is increasingly useful across multiple disciplines, from education to nanotechnology.
Themes are the seven broad umbrellas under which we organize the hundreds of big ideas that populate Big Think. They include New World Order, Earth and Beyond, 21st Century Living, Going Mental, Extreme Biology, Power and Influence, and Inventing the Future.
Browse videos featuring experts across a wide range of disciplines, from personal health to business leadership to neuroscience.
Big Think's contributors offer expert analysis of the big ideas behind the news.
Big Think's Edge learning platform for career mentorship and professional development provides engaging and actionable courses delivered by the people who are shaping our future.

River in Ruin
The Story of the Carmel River
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
The thin ribbon of the Carmel River is just thirty-six miles long and no wider in most places than a child can throw a stone. It is the primary water supply for the ever-burgeoning presence of tourists, agriculture, and industry on California's Monterey Peninsula. It is also one of the top ten endangered rivers in North America. The river's story, which dramatically unfolds in this book, is an epic tale of exploitation, development, and often unwitting degradation reaching back to the first appearance of Europeans on the pristine peninsula.
River in Ruin is a precise weaving of water history—local and larger—and a natural, social, and environmental narrative of the Carmel River. Ray A. March traces the river's misuse from 1879 and details how ever more successful promotions of Monterey demanded more and more water, leading to one dam after another. As a result the river was disastrously depleted, cluttered with concrete rubble, and inhospitable to the fish prized by visitors and residents alike.
March's book is a cautionary tale about squandering precious water resources—about the ultimate cost of a ruined river and the slim but urgent hope of bringing it back to life.less

This T-34-85 was turned over to one of the pro-Syrian Lebanese militia factions, the Al-Murabitun, during the vicious civil war of Beirut in the early 1980s. It is camouflaged in a rough pattern of medium brown over the usual dark green base colour. Besides the militia name on the turret side in black and white, the crew has also pasted on pictures of one of the militia leaders. These were not the only T-34-85s operating in Beirut at the time. In March 1981, the Palestinian Liberation Organisation was supplied with about 60 T-34-85s by Hungary, the first time the PLO had any significant number of tanks.

- Studio: Oscilloscope Pictures
- Release Date: Sep 7, 2012
- Starring: Blythe Danner, Christopher Abbott, John Rubinstein, Melanie Lynskey
- Summary: Amy is a recent divorcée who seeks refuge in the suburban Connecticut home of her parents. Demoralized and uncertain of her future, Amy begins an affair with a 19-year-old actor that jumpstarts her passion for life and helps her discover an independence and sense of purpose that she has missed for years. Coupling Danner's subtle, moving performance as a frustrated empty nester with Lynskey's endearing and nuanced depiction of both the comic and tragic coming together at a crossroads, Hello I Must Be Going is a modern, unconventional love story infused with sex, humor, and emotional honesty – everything Amy will need to get on in life. (Oscilloscope Films)… Collapse
- Director: Todd Louiso
- Genre(s): Drama, Comedy, Romance
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 14 out of 23
Mixed: 9 out of 23
Negative: 0 out of 23
Sep 7, 2012There are some catches, including a breathy-voiced indie-rock soundtrack so bad you wonder if it's contributing to Amy's malaise. But overall, the comedy is a lovely showcase for Lynskey and the rest of the cast.
Warm and funny, real and raw, Hello I Must Be Going deserves a hearty welcome from moviegoers looking for an honest and frank comedy that never forgets to help us care about its characters.
The movie's sharp-tongued and softhearted, a Sundance kind of film that mostly sidesteps generic Sundanceyness.
The film plays like a strenuous tug of war between the inhuman machinery of a wildly misguided plot and the low-key humanism of Melanie Lynskey's warm yet unsentimental performance.
There are times when the facile flimsiness of Hello I Must Be Going threatens to float right off the screen. But Lynskey has her ways of surprising us, even when nothing in the script itself is doing so.
This is ultimately a tale of affirmation, self-acceptance and second chances, and its lessons, while not unwelcome, are a bit too forced and neatly packaged to make it fully satisfying.
Sep 1, 2012As a director, Louiso operates within a narrow emotional range; while not as bleak as "Love Liza," the film feels similarly monotonous and desperately needs more dramatic fluctuation.
Score distribution:
Positive: 2 out of 2
Mixed: 0 out of 2
Negative: 0 out of 2
Sep 11, 2012Lynskey is one of those actors who is so talented, so versatile, she essentially steals every scene she's in. She did it in Heavenly Creatures, she did it in 2 1/2 Men, and she does it here. The problem is that the writing isn't brilliant, and there's just not enough to it. She had a bad marriage, her parents have a bad marriage, and life sucks. The young love interest - the guy from HBO's "Girls" is sorely out of his league - they could have cast that role so much more succesfully.… Expand

Nothing like rain, 650 hp and open-wheel racecars with no traction control to test a race driver, and that was exactly the combination delivered by Sunday's GP Masters of Great Britain event at Silverstone. In the end, Eddie Cheever prevailed, bringing home his first GP Masters victory, ahead of Belgium's Eric Van de Poele and Germany's Christian Danner. Austria's Has Stuck and Italy's Alex Caffi rounded out the top five.
The GP Masters series is analogous to golfing's 'Seniors Tour,' bringing back some of Formula 1's famous names for head to head, no holds barred competition in equally-prepared open-wheeled racecars designed to emphasize the skill of the driver. In addition to this weekend's top five, series competitors include the likes of Nigel Mansell, Emerson Fittipaldi, Riccardo Patrese, and Alain Prost.
A post-race quote from Christian Danner Sunday says it all, "It's easy to overtake in these cars. There are no pitstops, no traction control, no tactics - it's just your right foot that matters and that's why this series is so good."
It's still early days for the GP Masters series, but here's hoping it becomes a fixture on the world motorsports scene. The series' next event is in South Africa in November.

The Nile perch was first introduced to Africa's Lake Victoria in the 1960s, and it has since decimated the native fish population and spawned a large-scale fishing industry that earns millions annually. The Oscar-nominated documentary Darwin's Nightmare (coincidentally the title of my unreleased documentary on intelligent design) tells the story of the lake, the fish and the people who've struggled to adjust to life in its wake, a harsh reality of war and famine (many natives can't even afford to eat the fish they're paid to catch) where planes leave full of fresh fish and arrive laden with weapons used to kill untold thousands on a daily basis.

This month's issue looks at the midterm legislative races and statewide ballot measures, the role of primaries, the value of art in school, perspective from two of the nation's top pollsters and much more.
Current Issue
Minneapolis—Margaret "Peggy" Piety of Indiana succeeded to the position of staff chair of the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) at the 2014 Legislative Summit in Minneapolis. Piety, senior staff attorney for the Indiana Legislative Services Agency, previously served as staff vice-chair. NCSL, a bipartisan organization, serves the nation's 7,383 legislators and more than 20,000 legislative staff.
"It is an honor to represent legislative staff from around the country," said Piety. "Staff members are crucial to the success of state legislatures, and my priorities this year include continuing efforts to engage staff in NCSL, build on and strengthen NCSL's staff programs and services, and find ways to help staff address trends and changes that affect legislatures."
NCSL is the only national organization that provides training, professional growth opportunities and information sharing for legislative staff. There are 14 staff sections and networks that sponsor meetings, training and publications. Legislative staffers also are eligible to be members of the NCSL standing committees, which address state policy concerns and state-federal issues.
Piety is one of seven officers (four legislators and three legislative staff members) on NCSL's 63-member Executive Committee. She has served as a full-time staff attorney for the Office of Bill Drafting and Research of the Indiana Legislative Services Agency since September 2000. She also was an attorney for the City of Indianapolis and in private practice. Piety received her B.A. and J.D. degrees from Indiana University,
"Peggy has been active in NCSL since 2002, and her experience and dedication will be invaluable to NCSL's Executive Committee as well as the thousands of professionals who serve as legislative staff," said NCSL Executive Director William Pound.
Since 1975, NCSL has served as the bipartisan organization serving the legislators and staffs of the states, commonwealths and territories. It provides research, technical assistance and opportunities for policymakers to exchange ideas on the most pressing state issues and is an effective and respected advocate for the interests of the states in the American federal system.

My hygienist did not speak English fluently but did speak enough English to tell me that I needed to dye my roots because she could "see all the gray." I wonder if the staff members aren't related to the dentist. In any event, I have switched dentists because of Dr. Krutyansky's unprofessional staff and how inefficiently her staff runs the office.

If you are looking for a dentist, look no further! Dr. Susan Krutyansky has been taking care of my family and me for the past 10 years and we can not express how wonderful she is as a clinician and a person. She will do everything in her power to give you the best possible care. From cleanings to root canals to crowns, she is the best! I have had them all done and have experienced zero complications. Dr. Krutyansky has a staff that mimics her work and dedication. The staff will work with you for all your scheduling needs including reminders and fitting you in at your convenience. They will work with your insurance companies and fight for you to receive the best possible care. Dr. Krutyansky and her staff are amazing and I have never had a better experience at any other doctors' office.

I'm very happy with my dentist Dr.Rimma. She is so thorough, so caring, and so knowledgable!!! I had such a bad toothache, couldn't sleep all night. it had an access. She calmed all my fears down, and fixed my tooth and it looks and feels perfect, no issues. I'm referring all my friends and family!!!

Dr. Susan is the best, kind, patient and gentle. Her girls are so nice (except for 1). Susan works with you on payment plans. Only negative is they try to sell you on expensive cosmetic procedures sometimes, so be aware of this and always question whether the procedure is necessary or cosmetic.Otherwise, my experiences and those of my kids are always pain-free. Some appointments are long because Susan is such a perfectionist and pays attention to detail. They always call me at home the evening or day after a procedure to ask how I'm doing.

Dr. Krutyansky is an incredible dentist who I have had the pleasure of seeing after switching dentists when moving to New Jersey. I had an impacted tooth growing in and was in an extreme amount of pain (swelling etc.) Dr. Krutyansky stayed after hours and saw me without any question. She was extremely gentle, caring, and explained every step of the extraction to me to calm my nerves. She is the type of dentist who will call you the following day to see how you are doing and will fit you in no matter how busy she is. Incredible dentist and person.

I know Dr. Susan for 11 years already. I brought to her office all my family and friends. She is very knowledgeable and experienced doctor. She also take her time and gives you all her attention before, during and after the treatment. Her attention to details, immense patience and genuine concern about me and everybody else she is treating is amazing. Her staff is very professional, friendly and helpful. They never forget to call at night to check on the patient after a procedure. If there is an emergency , they would do everything to fit you inn her tight as it is schedule. They work with you when it comes to the payment and make sure you are comfortable with the payments if any needed. BRAVO!

I'm very happy with this office and the service. I had to switch my old dentist because of all the unnecessary work I believe was done in my teeth and Dr Rimma was recommended to my by my friend, and I have to say I really liked her. She has a great bed side manner, listened to all my concerns, she measured my gums ( that was never done before ever) went with me over tooth by tooth. She has a very gentle hand and my cleaning was very thorough. I also have Aetna Dmo and I did not felt it mattered in any way. I would recommend this office to my family and friends.

Couple days ago I had a root canal done by Dr Susan. I wanted to share my experience. I completely disagree with the previous review. I also have Aetna DMO when I called the office in pain, I was seen the same day. The pain relieved. I was unable to pay my coinsurance right away Dr Susan allowed me to pay it off at the time frame that was comfortable for me. Great staff. For 2 years I am a patient at this office. I never had problems scheduling my appointments. I would never go anywhere else.

The reason there are some mixed reviews is that they treat patients differently. If you have a PPO plan AND you don't care how much they charge you, they take very good care of you. Dr. Susan is a very skillful dentist but I don't trust her staff when it comes to charging for procedures. They WILL overcharge you if you don't investigate and fight back, and ignore you if you have a DMO (which apparently is monitored more strictly by the insurance companies and pays them less). They tried to make me change my plan to a PPO and when I didn't, they stopped scheduling appointment in a reasonable time and didn't even allow my to see my own dentist. They make me see the less popular Dr. Rima, unless I'm willing to wait a few months for Dr. Susan. I have referred several of my friends to Dr. Susan in the past because I was satisfied by her work and was surprised that almost all of them encountered some kind of financial problem and left her. Now I know why. Incredibly money oriented practice.

The current management seems to be more on the ball than past managements. The entire complex is constantly improving and my rating will go up to 'Excellent' if trends continue.
Thank you so much for your kind words, we are working hard to improve the property. Please feel free to let us know if you can think of any additional things you would like to see happen on the property! We appreciate your residency!

The apartment complex is not in a great part of town, therefore most of the residents are what I would call "working class". The apartments are older and the appliances reflect it, walls are also very thin. When people above you walk it sounds like a herd of elephants. However the management/office staff always try to address complaints/repairs in a timely manner, they are pleasant & it does seem they are trying to weed out the "bad apples".

Nebraska Lyrics - Lawrence Arms
hey mike i wish i could help you figure something out
but it's been too long since we spoke
your sarcasm radiates unhappiness
so withdrawn and rooted deep inside
are you content at twenty-seven
were you hopeful at 17?
a void the size of oceans stretches out between us
i guess our blood is suppose to be a bridge
can you pull yourself up from this self hatred
can you pull yourself up
frustrations driven you to angry dreams
let nebraska disappear in golden flames of grain
i know you can't imagine having company right now
there's a world of tired faces that understand this pain
there's a better life waiting on the outside
of these decaying walls
your bitterness doesn't surprise me
as these pointless days go screaming by
rejected sour eyes can't imagine blue skies
i wish you could find something to live for
besides the agony of bleeding towards the last breath
i truly believe that you want more than this (this is killing you)
that what you want is very simple
somehow so complex to get
please don't hate yourself.

Grand Theft Auto reportedly inspires teen rampage
I haven't seen anyone mention...
...That it was the kids who said they were acting out scenes from the game. I can imagine just how the scene unfolded at the police station...
"Why did you do this, son?"
"Erm... Err... The game made me do it!"
"Ah hah! Well! We won't bother with assault charges. It's Rockstar's fault!"
Apple chucks PA Semi at Jesus Phone
Jesus, a semi?
Well the iPhone has been giving Apple fan-boys Semis for a while now - it's about time another Semi gave them something in return.
SanDisk forecasts memory-less MP3 player future
...along with high-end ICE maker Blaupunkt?
My cheap-as-chips Chav-brand/Ripspeed car stereo has an SD card slot for playing MP3s... It's not Micro-SD, but with the help of the adaptor that came with my Micro-SD card it is. So you don't even have to go high end to get such a luxury.
I actually think SD is small enough as it is, anyway.
Personally I welcome the idea of MP3/Video players with upgradable storage. Upgradeable batteries would be nice too. I like the idea that I could extend the life of my devices with such upgrades. It's one of the reasons that I still haven't bought (and probably won't ever buy) an IPod. That and an overwhelming dislike for ITunes.
Besuited cubicle monkey trashes office

I haven't laughed quite that hard in a long long time!
UK electricity crisis over - for now
I just wanted to say...
1.21 gigawatts?! What was I thinking?!
Iogear pitches over-the-network USB sharing gadget
At last! I've been looking for something like this for a while (Admittedly, I've not been looking all that hard).
I doubt it will sell over here at £40-45, but I can hope :-)
Dallas kids tracked for their own good
With detatchable trackers, is makes me wonder if the kid did go to school on time every day, or if he just hid the tracker in the back-pack of a model student :-P
He learnt that one from Johnny 5
USB 2.0 - or not?
Fault finding
The thing to do is put the USB stick back in your friend's computer and copy the file off it to see how it does. And try copying the same files back on to the USB stick from your laptop. Then try the same thing with a different USB stick. It's possible that the USB stick is to blame, rather than your laptop.
Once you've established if it is your laptop or the USB stick that is to blame, then you cam start to try and find the problem. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your USB host controller and chipset. Updating your BIOS can't hurt either. There are some laptops that come with aditional drivers to enable USB 2.0, but default to USB 1.1, so that's worth investigating.
It would help if you mentioned the make and model of your laptop, what operating system you're using, what patches you have applied that might be of relevance, and what you've done to try and fix the problem already.
Of course, it is possible that you just have a s*** laptop :-)
How to destroy 60 hard drives an hour
For $11,500?
How about thermite? If it can burn through an engine block it would destroy a hard drive.
It's a lot cheaper, a lot more fun and I'm convinced it would be more effective too :-P
Panasonic touts 'world's most efficient' domestic fuel cell
@Peter Ford
I like the idea, I really do. But I don't really like the idea of dragging a 200 amp capable cable behind a high-ish power vacuum cleaner. There is no reason to generate at 12v instead of 100-200v. It just makes no sense.
Everything you own already has the step down transformer in it, or in the power adaptor if it needs one. There's lots of problems with transferring low voltage / high current power, even over the comparatively short distance of a house. For one: voltage drop from one side of the house to another would probably be enough to make TTL based electronics become a little unpredictable. Not to mention the fact that having main cables in your walls carrying anything up to about 500 amps is hardly safe, and would be incredibly expensive and impractical to implement on any sort of scale.
There's a reason leccy is carried across the country at 40Kv. Low voltage / high current is just plain inefficient.
Buffalo makes big noise over tiny terabyte NAS box
Given that it's 1TB RAIDed across two disks, I can only assume they're configured in RAID-0 (The zero stands for how much data you can get back if one of the disks fails, I believe). In my experience, 2.5'' drives seem to have a higher failure rate than 3.5'' drives as it is. Never mind doubling that chance of failure with RAID-0.
It's cute and all that, but I wouldn't trust it with anything but the most trivial data. And even then I'd be cautious!

Official: Brits will give up nookie for plasma TVs
Geeks like big screens...

I wonder how many of the people who said they'd give it up for 6 months probably wouldn't get any in the next 6 months anyway.
Sharp's 'slimmest' LCD TV to hit Europe this Autumn
@Colin Petford
Good point! I think I'm going to use that in future...
"I'm not fat! I'm only 34.4mm at my thinnest part!"
Also: The Centaur woman is back!
It's official! DVD plus/minus war ends in a draw
Notice the minus
Good to hear :-)
Owning a laptop that will only write DVD+R discs, I have noticed that they seem to be harder to find in shops than DVD-R discs. I'm convinced it's because the people in charge of ordering stock see the minus as a dash (like in CD-R) and don't think there could be an alternative.
Ah well. One format war over, several hundred left to go.
Sharp bursts its seams with 20 HD TVs
Some nice screens there...
...I didn't know Sharp were employing centaur women to demo their screens these days though.
I'll get my coat.
AT&T to crush copyrighted network packets
Who decides what's legal?
I'd be interested to see how such a system would effect legitimate uses of copyrighted material.
I see no way that it could distinguish between a member of a band sending an mp3 of their own work to a friend or fellow band member (surely a legitimate use of copyrighted material), and someone else sending the same mp3 to a few friends, illegally.
There's lots of other situations that such a system could cause problems with, I'm sure.
Nigerian firm demands $20m from OLPC
It always amazes me...
...How people can go out of their way to make life difficult for others trying to do a good turn.
Even if what OLPC have done is wrong, surely they could be cut at least a little slack because they're trying to make a difference to children in places like Nigeria.
It all boils down to greed as far as I'm concerned.
Air France compensates 170kg passenger
The thing that shocks me here is that he was allowed to pay for the seat next to him.
I've tried on many flights to pay for the seat next to me so I have somewhere to put my laptop and peanuts. It hasn't worked yet!
Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 hard drive
How do you back it up?
Simple: you don't!
Use it to back up your other hard drives ;-)

Would that be your 65nm parts, or your 45nm parts?

Should I Give Up on the Split Jerk?
Greg Everett |
Ask Greg Everett
| June 30 2014
Send to Kindle
Jessica Asks:
As a novice female lifter I have issues with my split jerk drive. I start fine with the dip but always go forward on the drive no matter how hard I fight it. It's less so when I power jerk but I'm not sure whether I should try to switch completely or not given the fact that I just can't move the same weight. Now I'll be the first to admit I need to get stronger and that does play a part here but I often wonder if the split jerk is the most effective/efficient way for me to go. Here is where my question lies, which jerk is more efficient in the world of Olympic Weightlifting the split or the power?
Greg Says:
There are lifters in the world who will do better as power jerkers than as split jerkers, but they're the exception. This is something that will become apparent over time, and that's the important point—it takes time to determine if the power jerk is genuinely better for you or if you just haven't learned how to split jerk well yet. Just like the snatch and clean, the jerk takes time to learn, and during the process of learning, it may not feel very good. Specifically, it's very common for new lifters to dip and drive forward when doing the split jerk.
There is a reason that the vast majority of elite competitive weightlifters split jerk—it allows you (generally) to get more weight overhead for three basic reasons: You can get deep (about the level of a parallel squat), you have a very broad base in all directions, and it requires the least flexibility of the three possible jerks. The squat jerk will allow you to get the deepest (a full depth squat), but you have to be extremely flexible, strong and precise—you have to be able to recover from a jerk-grip overhead squat (possible from a dead stop in the bottom) with your maximum clean & jerk weight—AFTER doing that heavy clean—and put the bar in the perfect position, as there's essentially no margin for error; the main benefit is that you have to elevate the bar the least in the squat jerk. In the power jerk, you have to elevate the bar higher than in the squat or split, have very good overhead flexibility, and have a good deal of precision with your bar placement, as well as be very balanced and precise in your dip and drive, i.e. you can't shift forward or push the bar forward. The split jerk provides the greatest margin for error in terms of bar placement overhead with its broader base (you can more easily adjust to stay under the bar following an imperfect initial placement), the least demand on flexibility, and the greatest ease of recovery from even a very deep receiving position. In other words, it's very much worth putting in the time and effort to try to master the split jerk rather than giving up and only using the power jerk.
Now to the part you actually care about: How to fix your split jerk. It's very common for people to drive forward when doing the split jerk, even if they're able to dip and drive vertically in a power or push jerk. This is normally the result of the lifter being so focused on the split that they begin it too early, and in combination with that, leaning or diving the chest forward as a part of the split action.
The first thing to understand is that the dip and drive of the split jerk should be identical to that of the power jerk—that is, it needs to be straight down, straight up and complete. The lift only varies with the splitting of the feet into the receiving position.
Your weight should be balanced on the heels but with full foot contact with the floor. That is, don't shift back on your heels so far that you lose contact between the floor and the balls of your feet. This will nearly always result in your actually rocking farther forward than you were before shifting to your heels, directing your drive forward.
Unlock your knees and create tension on your quads. If you begin the dip of the jerk from the passive knee lock you normally stand with, there will be slack in the system and a moment of freefall before your quads catch up, and, aside from taking away from the smoothness of the movement we want, this will often shift you forward. Initiate the dip with a controlled enough acceleration that the bar remains connected to your shoulders completely. If you dip too abruptly, you lose that connection and the bar bounces on your shoulders, also generally shifting you forward.
Make sure that you're getting a big, full breath—expanding the abdomen to ensure the diaphragm can drop—and locking it in tightly. Activate your glutes as well. You need to turn your trunk into a piston—totally rigid and prepared to move only vertically. After you take in your breath and stabilize, check your balance as sometimes taking the breath itself will shift you forward slightly.
To split, focus on lifting and reaching the heel of your front foot and driving your hips under the bar. Forget about the back foot—it will go far enough backward on its own, and thinking of reaching it back will usually cause you to push it too far back and actually pull your hips back out from under the bar, producing the same result as pushing the bar forward—your base is not underneath the weight, and consequently, you can't support it overhead.
When you split, don't reach your head and chest forward under the bar. Instead, split as described above while trying to push the bar back behind your head. This will help you achieve the ideal overhead position (bar over the back of the neck) while keeping you positioned under the bar properly. In the overhead position, your head and chest should be pushed forward somewhat, but if you attempt this prematurely, it will affect the entire position of your body. Let it happen more as a reaction to trying to push the bar back so that the timing is better.
Some exercises that can help are push jerks in a split position, presses in the split position, jerk balances, push presses, power jerks and split jerks behind the neck. A good complex for you would be push press + split jerk, trying to replicate the vertical and balanced dip and drive and the push of the bar back behind your head from the push press in the subsequent split jerk. Power jerk + split jerk is another good complex as long as you're able to maintain your balance and vertical dip and drive in the power jerk.
Give yourself some time to work on improving your split jerk before you abandon it. Remember, this is stuff you don't master quickly.

I've been initiating the dip from a locked-knee position for years now. I also have problems shooting my back leg too far back and barely moving my front foot at all. The heavier the weight, the worse it becomes, and I usually have to chase PR attempts to the front of the platform. After reading your post today, I tried unlocking my knees just before starting the dip. My footwork improved immediately, and I felt stronger overhead than I have in months. Such a simple solution to a problem that has been holding back my lifting for so long. Thanks for the advice!

Glad it helped, David. Sometimes (maybe even most of the time) the fixes are much simpler than we think.
| 2014-07-02
It's amazing how all the little tips and cues start to really make sense. At the beginning you read stuff like this and actually take in only a fraction. You think you've taken in a lot more, but most dissipates. Practice for a month or two, read again, practice - read more etc, etc. It starts to hit home and you can focus on fixing very subtle errors. Errors you didn't even know existed in a lift let alone know you were doing it. Fascinating.

/// Nascar is Ready for its Closeup
After a four-year dry spell, Dale Earnhardt Jr. on June 17 raced to his first Nascar Sprint Cup win in 144 tries, beating the field at Michigan International Speedway with a little help from Batman. Earnhardt roared to victory at the Quicken Loans 400 behind the wheel of a custom-painted, Batman-inspired black Chevy Impala. Along with the logo for the upcoming Warner Bros. release The Dark Knight Rises —which was emblazoned across the hood—the No. 88 car was enhanced by portraits of the Caped Crusader and his spine-crushing nemesis, Bane. Fans got their first look at the Dark Knight Rises car during a practice run earlier that same week. Making a surprise appearance alongside Earnhardt's vehicle was the "Tumbler," the militarized Batmobile introduced in 2005's

I was given a peace lily for my 21st birthday. It has spent the last five years being quite unhappy in my living room, barely staying alive. However I recently moved it to a lighter part of the flat (where I see it more often and therefore pay it a little more attention) and it is thriving! It has four flowers ready to bloom. Has anybody else got an elderly peace lily?
Hello all
Inspired by this fantastic video of a crow apparently using a margarine tub lid to sledge on a snowy roof (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRnI4dhZZxQ), I wondered if anyone else has observed unusual bird behaviour in their gardens? It would make a lovely topic for a future issue of Gardeners' World Magazine.
I once spotted a pair of wood pigeons having an argument - or so it seemed! They were sitting on a branch and batting each other over the head with their wings. And generally looking grumpy.

Thanks Robbie! Also very happy news... the caterpillars on the nettle patch in the park are all doing really well. Lovely lovely peacock caterpillars just about to pupate. Gorgeous things.
Fairygirl - it won't be peacocks and small tortoiseshells on your blackthorn. Off the top of my head I think a couple of hairstreaks feed on blackthorn... and lots of species of moth.
Hi all, happy to report that the swifts have now returned to Hackney! I heard screeching for the first time last night and then again this morning. Happy. Let's hope they have a good breeding year.
@galest - your swifts sound very like barn swallows!
Hi all, thanks for all your comments. The snails will have a job coming back - the wildlife area of the park is across two roads and a railway line.Old Chippy - sorry to hear that so many people don't like your garden! I hope a nice gardener buys your house who will appreciate all your hard efforts.Kate

- Studio: Universal Pictures
- Release Date: Aug 13, 2010
- Starring: Kieran Culkin, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Michael Cera
- Summary: Scott Pilgrim must defeat his new girlfriend's seven evil exes in order to win her heart.
- Director: Edgar Wright
- Genre(s): Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Comedy, Romance
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 26 out of 38
Mixed: 9 out of 38
Negative: 3 out of 38
As he did in "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz", Wright immerses his heroes in pop culture's detritus and diversions, but doesn't drown them in it. You don't have to be dazzled or tickled by the movie, or get every joke, to be touched by it, too.
Of all the gonzo-goofy comic book adaptations that embrace video gaming sensibilities, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is the gonzo-goofiest.
The movie is of this precise moment and you should probably see it now, since it will be dated by next Tuesday.
The perfect summation of Hollywood at this moment - an apotheosis of American male infantilism - and, on its own, a most likable mess.
With Michael Cera in the title role, twentysomethings and under will swiftly embrace this original romancer.
The film is alive with bad rock bands and dizzying bit parts, the standout being Kieran Culkin, in the role of Scott's gay roommate, but we feel them gyrating around a hollow core.
Score distribution:
Positive: 192 out of 218
Mixed: 13 out of 218

Apr 27, 2013Allow me to explain this movie: It first starts out kinda slow, the first 10 minutes are a bit boring and you could swear you're watching one of those independent love films, but then right at the 15 minute mark... BOOM! This movie just slaps you awake and throws all these awesome images at you (in a good way). The humor was great, the characters were awesome and the fighting was some of the best damn fighting I have ever seen in comic book movie.
This is how you bring a graphic novel to the big screen. It's just perfect in every way… Expand
Nov 6, 2012Whoever claims that this movie is bad, go back to watching your awful Oscar-winning films that pretend they have a story when they don't. Movies don't need to have action scenes or explosions to be good, but they also don't need to act like they're smarter than the audience and don't need to act like they have a plot when they don't. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World had some of the best writing and directing in film since Tarantino made the Kill Bill movies. And the acting has humanity and actual emotion in it unlike whatever wins best picture at the Academy Awards. As much as people aren't going to want to admit it, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is one of the few movies in recent memory that is relevant, like-able, watchable, and is legitimately hilarious. And that is a testament to how good movies can be!… Expand
Aug 13, 2010Absolutely fantastic! There is a reason I believe that Edgar Wright is THE best film director we have today, and SPvTW adds to it. Wright fully captured the essence of the gamer/gen-Y crowd and the modern teen comedy. Creativity oozes out of it. It's a movie that isn't afraid to not take itself seriously. I can definitely see how a critic or viewer would give it a low score, because they just don't get it. It doesn't interest them. It's ok! It won my heart. I smiled the whole time. If you love games, subtle humor, any of Edgar Wrights past films, teen comedies, or fresh ideas...Go see this film!… Expand
Feb 7, 2013What a wonderful surprise. Edgar Wright captures such an essence of creativity and all out ridiculousness to bring us Michael Cera in this super-comic tween fest all together and rolled in with flashy colours and glitz to form Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
Michael Cera plays the titled character, who is part of a mediocre college band trying to make it, he happens across Ramona, a beautiful and pink-hair coloured girl, who he falls for, the problem being that she has seven evil 'exes' who Scott must defeat in order to have the girl of his dreams.
Obviously, the events that occur are not as straightforward as Scott would have hoped. What is striking about this film is how Edgar Wright is not afraid to take a chance and go in all guns-blazing, trowing a nerd-fest party that only the geekiest kids are allowed access to, because this is an all-out comic and game oriented film that has onomatopoeic graphics flashing in front of your face and OCD fast paced directing that will have your brain buzzed. Its what makes this wonderful rollercoaster of a comic book adaption so unique, it won't try too hard to amaze, but simply to entertain in an eccentric and brilliant manner.
It's has great comedic acting all round, particularly a cameo from Chris Evans.
It doesn't get a 10 though, because Michael Cera is perhaps becoming very typecast in these roles, not by any means the film he is in, but his personality doesn't change, the same routine here of the nervous teen who lands the beautiful female lead, perhaps just becoming too predictable, apart from this, an throughly enjoyable film.… Expand
Dec 8, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow! What a great movie. Comedies like these tend to not settle well for me, so I was very skeptical about this one. I gave it a shot and it did not disappoint. I absolutely loved this film! A smart, unique film that cannot be missed. I love the way the video game sounds and comic book images were incorporated. It truly sets this film apart. I must mention the dialogue; a great script with perfect lines at the right time. So hilarious! "You punched my boob....prepare to die, obviously," "You made me swallow my gum. That's going to be in my digestive tract for 7 years." At times, the clever, bizarre, quirkiness of this film left me in a state of confusion as to whether or not what I was watching was literal. However, in this particular film, the confusion is part of the joy of watching. It's oddity is so brilliantly executed that the seemingly ridiculous story makes for a very good film. I absolutely loved it!… Expand
Mar 6, 2011Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is quite a odd, funny, and likable movie, with references to video games, and likable characters (except Ramona she was annoying), this a great movie with only a few design choices holding it back from all it could be.… Expand

From August 1983 to May 1987, India, through its intelligence agency RAW provided arms, training and monetary support to LTTE. 495 LTTE militants, including 90 women were trained in 10 batches. First batch of Tigers were trained in Establishment 22 based in Chakrata, Uttarakhand. Second batch including LTTE intelligence chief Pottu Amman[ was trained in HP. Prabakaran himself visited the first and the second batch of Tamil Tigers to see them training.
I fail to understand when LTTE got support in Rajiv Regime, what made them to Kill Him?
Answers (7)
He left to Srilanka and discussed with his team members,
But I think, He is not willing to kill Rajiv but some members took it personally and with the help of some members outside LTTE planned to assassinate Rajiv.
Pl refer SIT 's quote reg this and some local news papers in Tamilnadu also quoted some names who are involved in this killing .
Mystery is still there Sharmilaji
Whatever be the reason, HIS Killing is horrible and that too in Tamilnadu is still unimaginable

While flying over the ocean, the pilot reported to the radar sector controller that the engine lost power. Then the pilot said that the engine restarted, but didn't sound good. Moments later he reported that the engine lost power and that he was going to ditch the airplane in the ocean. The sector controller immediately initiated search and rescue procedures. The two passengers were rescued. Neither the airplane nor the pilot was recovered. A fixed-base operator reported that on the evening before the accident, the airplane's right fuel tank was almost full; the left fuel tank was between 1/4 and 1/2 full. The pilot had purchased the airplane about 2 weeks before the accident; it could not be determined if the pilot received any instruction or a check-out in the airplane.

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up
By Corey Deiterman
Nowadays Reagan-era punk rock political alienation sounds positively quaint. The currently reigning neocon junta and attendant Internet beheadings and newscast body counts make the cold war complaints of bands like the Minutemen and the Dead Kennedys shine like the rosiest nostalgia -- "We've Got a Bigger Problem Now," indeed. Enter the Thermals, whose recent The Body, The Blood, The Machine (Sub Pop) looks the current pre-apocalyptic landscape in the face and rages tumultuously. "Blood is easy to obtain / When you have no shame," observes vocalist Hutch Harris on the pointed "Our Power Doesn't Run On Nothing," and lyrically that about sums things up.

This is angry party music for the Christian Right's pre-ordained end times. It seems a no-brainer that the Thermals' furious, sarcastic anthems can only gain impact live.

I wasn't oppossed to it and actually packed my make-up in my hospital bag, but when it came down to it, that's the last thing I thought of. Plus, I took three showers to help ease the pain during my 19 hour labor,
