Foursquare Splits Into Two Apps: Foursquare and Swarm
Foursquare is splitting itself into two separate apps, one bearing the Foursquare name that is aimed at discovering new venues and one called Swarm that carries on the company's original mission of "checking into" locations.
Foursquare said people use its app for two reasons: meeting up with friends or discovering new restaurants, bars and other places to go. Rarely, though, do they do both at the same time. It found that people still texted their friends to find out what they were up to. By separating the Foursquare app's core functions, people who just want to keep up with friends will be able to do it more quickly, the company said.
The two-app approach is the latest shift for Foursquare, a startup that has been searching for years for a sustainable business model. In February, it entered into a deal that siphons Foursquare location data into Microsoft Bing search in exchange for a $15 million investment into the company. That deal followed a $35 million round in December that valued the company at about $650 million. Foursquare increasingly has layered on e-commerce options like personalized coupons or instant notifications of deals when passing by certain stores.
The rebooted Foursquare app will still include local search – Foursquare compared it to thumbing through the old Yellow Pages – but the company plans a heavy dose of personalization. "We believe local search should be personalized to your tastes and informed by the people you trust," Foursquare said in a blog post. "The opinions of actual experts should matter, not just strangers." The "check-in" functions, meanwhile, get siloed into Swarm.
Increasingly, companies are unbundling apps into discreet services. Facebook created separate apps for news discovery, messaging, and photography. And it has plans to tether these discreet services together through something called "deep links" – letting apps link to spots inside other apps. Google just announced separate apps for creating documents and spreadsheets that are pulled out of its full-service Drive app.
Swarm will arrive within weeks on iOS and Android, and then later on Windows Phone. The rebooted Foursquare app will arrive later this summer. If you want to get access to Swarm when it first launches, Foursquare will email you when the new app is available at swarmapp.com.

What is a bone marrow aspirate and why is it so painful?
Blood cells are manufactured in the bone marrow space and examination of these cells in myeloma is performed to identify an increase in the number of plasma cells which is one of the cardinal features used to confirm the diagnosis. In order to obtain these cells for examination the clinician needs to perform a bone marrow aspirate. The thin "skin" that coats the bone surface and carries the small nerves responsible for carrying sensation and pain, is anaesthetised using local anaesthetic. A special needle is then inserted into the bone. Marrow is withdrawn with a syringe attached to the needle, like a blood test. When we are born, most of our bones contain marrow, but as we get older the marrow in our limbs is replaced by fat and the majority of the marrow resides in the spinal vertebrae, ribs, pelvis and breast bone. Samples are normally taken from the pelvis or breastbone and only very rarely from the spine. Although aspiration is uncomfortable, the pain that people may experience is due to the pressure that is exerted when the doctor draws back on the syringe attached to the special needle. This should only be a transient pain that is relieved as soon as the pressure is released after 3-4 seconds. Often the doctor may take an additional small sample of bone (a trephine) inside the needle to give extra information about the state of the marrow. The maneuvering of the needle in the bone to break off the sample inside the needle may cause an unusual sensation but normally this only lasts a few extra seconds. Once the anaesthetic has worn off there may be an ache at the site of the aspirate, best treated using paracetamol, and it should have resolved after about 24 hours.
What are the most recent developments in thalidomide?
Thalidomide was first used in patients with myeloma about 3 years ago for patients with relapsed or refractory disease that was not responding to chemotherapy. Since the first report in the literature in 1999 there have been a number of studies which have confirmed the excellent results seen in the first study. More recently there has been a report of the use of thalidomide for patients who have not been previously treated with any chemotherapy with encouraging results. Thalidomide is a very important drug because it is not a chemotherapy drug and works in a different way. It has been known for 10 years that thalidomide interfered with new blood vessel formation and that this is an important mechanism for the survival and spread of solid tumours. It was only more recently however, that it became clear how important new blood vessel formation is in myeloma and other blood tumours. Although this may be an important mechanism in the anti-tumour activity of thalidomide, the effects of treatment are seen after only a few weeks of treatment, strongly suggesting that other mechanisms may be as, or more, important. It is now clear, however, that thalidomide also affects the secretion of factors that affect the survival and proliferation of myeloma cells by an effect directly on the myeloma cell itself, and indirectly via cells which have an immunological effect in controlling cell growth.
The main side effects of thalidomide are nerve damage, constipation, skin rashes, and somnolence. Most of these side-effects are manageable with simple medications, but in an attempt to reduce the side effects and improve the responses to this type of drug, the company that manufactures thalidomide have modified the structure of thalidomide and produced 2 new compounds. One of these agents, CC5013 (Revimid), has been used in patients in the United States and the other, CC4047 (Actimid), has been used in early clinical studies by ourselves at Guys & St Thomas' Hospital, London. Early results are very encouraging and it is hoped that further studies will be undertaken in this country later in the year with both CC4047 and CC5013.
Further studies are needed to ascertain the optimum dose of thalidomide and when best to use it in the course of the disease. A number of studies are also being undertaken by the UK Myeloma Forum (UKMF) and Medical Research Council (MRC) looking at the use of thalidomide in combination with other chemotherapy agents in an attempt to optimise its benefits.
What is the difference between X-ray, MRI and CT, and how often should you have them?
Each of these techniques has their own limitations and the most appropriate investigation will depend upon what the doctor is looking to define. Hence CT scans are useful for identifying soft tissue 'lumps' or masses of myeloma and can be very helpful to define myeloma in the chest particularly if it is arising from the spine or ribs. MRI is better for identifying disease in the bone itself and may be positive when the plain X-ray skeletal survey is negative, which is helpful to know when making decisions on when to initiate treatment.
On other occasions, radiological investigations are performed in an attempt to identify a complication of the disease such as an infection. These may commonly involve the chest, and plain X-rays and CT scans are excellent for identifying infection in this site. MRI scans on the other hand are not useful in this site but may be more helpful for investigating the liver or spleen.
The choice of investigation therefore depends upon the clinical situation and should be tailored to the individual patient's needs.Dr. Schey is Consultant Haematologist at Guy's Hospital, London, England

That is, at best, partially-deluded if not completely bullshit.
It's the worst because the game itself causes more anger responses, the community has by far and wide, the largest youth component, it doesn't promote team-play, it promotes selfish play. The way the game is designed, revenge spawns and preferential lag, stats and huge killstreaks causing people to play like dicks, causing cyclic hate for different parts of the community. People play to win/killwhore, because the game rewards that, so it attracts the worst personalities in swarms.
While my opinion has changed in the past 5 months about calling something OP, it wasn't OP guns that made this game fail, it was many contributing factors and poor actual game support. (It could be said IW supported the game, but, honestly, it was superfluous support and DLC, not fixing a broken game.)
Please, if you will, explain further why this is a perfect example of a bad community.

Give Vick some credit for turning life around
It was disappointing to read Susan Estrich's rant against Michael Vick in the March 16 News. Estrich ruined a perfectly good defense of speech we hate by disparaging Vick.
There used to be a concept known as paying your debt to society in this nation. That is to say, if you commit a crime, you go to prison. Then you get on with your life. However, that notion seems to be long gone. Self-righteous individuals like Estrich simply will not allow it. Sadly, forgiveness seems not to play a major role in her life, at least where animal cruelty is concerned.
This is especially sad in light of the fact that Vick has proved that he has become a better man. He has gone around the country speaking out against animal cruelty, he has worked with animal welfare groups, etc.
Estrich claims, "It's not that Vick has anything worth hearing." Yet what better example could there be to show young people that it is possible to turn your life around? If that is not a message that people need to hear, then what would be?
People with attitudes like Estrich make it difficult for ex-cons to find work and become productive members of society. Then we have the audacity to be shocked when, facing limited options, they return to a life of crime.
Those of us who applaud Vick for having turned his life around are not "desperate," as she contends. We simply believe that he has remarkably taken advantage of his opportunity to improve his life. Vick, like Malcolm X, is an example of an amazing redemption story. It is just too bad that so many people want to destroy his life rather than help him to keep rebuilding it and serve as a shining example that it can certainly be done.

So, I have been in the frumpiest of frumps lately. I don't even want to know how many days (weeks?) I went without styling my hair, wearing meh clothes, and not even bothering with my contacts (glasses are great but mine make me feel extra frumped.)
And that's just the surface stuff. I've not been taking care of myself inside and out.
This week I've been doing some things differently here and there and
last night, and today, I felt kind of pretty.
At the Real Simple event, beauty expert Jane Iredale encouraged us, when wanting to be a better version of you, don't focus on change, but enhance what you have.
The things that make us different, unique, flawed? and sometimes strange.
The things that make you you.
Work it.
Edited to add: This is not a fishing for compliments plea. I am just being honest, and hope that I'm not the only one that feels this way sometimes. You can tell me how beautiful I am all day long, but it means nothing unless I feel it myself.
Edited AGAIN!: I do want to say that change is often good, I don't mean say we should never change, but it hit me how long I let WEEKS go by with no change, waiting for change, and how much longer can I let it go? YEARS? Will I be an old lady still waiting for things to change or waiting until I have the motivation to change them? And then miss out on some pretty good stuff I could have been doing with what I already had? So IN THE MEANTIME we have got to work it! :)
When I got home from Chicago this afternoon we took the kids out for dinner. Taking kids out in public is totally like a box of chocolates. You never know what they're going to say. Read more about it here: Big Beard.

The symptoms of Lyme disease can be confusing and differ among infected persons both in their nature and in their severity. Some people may not have any symptoms at all, but Lyme disease may still be diagnosed through a blood test .
Lyme disease progresses through different stages with varying and sometimes overlapping symptoms. Symptoms include the following:
These symptoms typically occur within 3-32 days of a tick bite.
Many infected people first notice a red rash, known as erythema migrans (EM). The rash starts as a small red spot at the site of the tick bite and expands over a period of days or weeks, forming a circular- or oval-shaped rash. The rash often resembles a bull's eye: a red ring surrounding a clear or bluish area with a red center. The size of the rash can range from dime-sized to the entire width of a person's back. More than one ring may develop. Typically, the rash goes away within four weeks.
Lyme Disease Rash
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Although Lyme disease is often associated with this rash, many people do not have the rash right away or at all. Or they may have a red rash, without the bull's eye pattern. If you have other symptoms that you think might be due to Lyme disease, see your doctor; do not wait for a rash to appear.
Muscle and joint aches, headache, fever (a temperature of 100-103 degrees Farenheit [37.7-39.4 degrees Celsius]), stiff neck, swollen glands, and fatigue may occur with or without the rash. These symptoms usually last about 5-21 days.
Note: All symptoms of early manifestation usually occur with the first rash or within about six weeks of it. They may go away on their own within a few weeks or months.

Raquel Gabbitas
Raquel Gabbitas '08
Raquel Gabbitas graduated from Westminster in 2008 with a BS in psychology. She went on to earn an MA in child psychology. She is currently an NIH cognitive science trainee and the University of Minnesota. She says her course work and leadership roles at Westminster helped get where she is today. With the research opportunities provided by the McNair Scholars Program as well as the writing skills she perfected in her English and philosophy classes, Raquel say she feels confident in the "publish or perish" research world. Through her roles as ASWC president, an ASWC senator, and the executive coordinator of Westminster's V-Day, she learned to take initiative, work with a team, and become a leader. These skills are important in her work as she takes initiative to complete projects and work collaboratively with her peers. She said her role in graduate school requires for her to be a self-starter. Working with the diverse campus community at Westminster allowed her to have experience in collaboration and innovation.

In March 2008, Cardinal Justin F. Rigali handed Bishop Michael J. Bransfield welcome news.
After a four-month inquiry, Rigali, then head of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, declared unfounded a claim that Bransfield had molested a Lansdale Catholic High School student in the 1970s.
The outcome wasn't unusual - other priests had been cleared of decades-old allegations - but the process was.
In a break from practice, the accusation against Bransfield bypassed the archdiocese's civilian review board, according to a source briefed on the case but not authorized to publicly discuss it. The board was formed to conduct independent examinations of abuse claims and assesses priests' suitablility for ministry.

But even Clemson's well-stated senior quarterback couldn't help himself, slightly alluding to the bowl game debacle in terms of how poorly the Tigers — then ranked No. 3 — opened Saturday night's showdown with Florida State.
When West Virginia thumped Clemson, 70-33, two Januarys ago in South Florida, Andre Ellington's fumble on the goal line (which the Mountaineers returned 99 yards for a touchdown) was followed by Boyd throwing an interception and losing a fumble, all contributing to 35 WVU second-quarter points.
On Saturday, the Seminoles — who moved up from No. 5 to No. 3 in the AP poll — won easily, 51-14, thanks to two early Tigers turnovers, resulting in 14 FSU points.
"It was almost West Virginia-esque," Boyd said. "Ellington trying to get in there, they scored, the momentum shifts heavily. But we have an old enough team to understand that we can respond from that. We didn't do what we needed to as the older leadership part of this group, and (FSU) capitalized on that."
Boyd was the epicenter of Clemson's demise, tallying three turnovers and throwing 20 incomplete passes, misfiring on more than half his throws for just the fourth time in 34 career starts.
His teammates have his back.
"Tajh is Tajh. Every quarterback is not going to be perfect," senior tailback Roderick McDowell said. "Like I tell Tajh every play, you're Superman to me. Superman don't win everything. We can't win them all, even though you want to.
"The road to Pasadena — or any championship — is not going to be easy. We took a bump in the road; we've got to come back next week and be ready for Maryland … we need Tajh and Tajh needs us. We've got to pick each other up."
Boyd was at a loss for words to explain his performance, the lowest QB rating he's produced (79.5) since his sophomore year.
"It was just some miscommunications," said Boyd, who was wearing a walking boot to support a sprained right ankle. "I've just got to continue to get settled in. That's something I continue to strive for. I work on that so much in practice, and you've got to take that to the game."
Boyd didn't believe he psyched himself out by overthinking the matchup or paying attention to his publicized individual duel with FSU freshman Jameis Winston.
"I don't think so. The margin of error is just really small in a game like this," Boyd said. "We made some uncharacteristic mistakes on offense. You can't afford to do it in a game like this. You don't have to be perfect, but you can't shoot yourselves in the foot, and we did that a lot tonight."
"He never looked comfortable, never looked like he was in rhythm," offensive coordinator Chad Morris said. "Thought he ran the ball well at times, but essentially you blink and you're down 17-0.
"We all know what Tajh is capable of doing. We've seen him play here at a very high level. It was one of those nights."
Morris also defended Boyd's reputation in the spotlight; he fell to 7-5 against ranked opponents.
"You try not to think that, not with a veteran guy that he is," Morris said. "He's been in big ballgames and he's performed extremely well at a high level in big ball games. So no, I don't think that. I don't."
A couple of Clemson players begrudgingly admitted FSU was, and likely is, the better squad in 2013 based on Saturday's one-game result. Not McDowell, who was asked if FSU could seriously contend for a BCS title.
"I'm not going to say that because I feel that we're a national championship team, too," McDowell said. "My hat goes off to Florida State. Those boys came in our house and took something that we wanted, a W. But it's not over for us."
That road to Pasadena is likely now a roadblock for Clemson, which even at 11-1 would be in the mix but holds no guarantees for a Fiesta or Sugar Bowl berth.
"Six of the top 10 teams got beat, so we're not the only team out there in America who's hurting," head coach Dabo Swinney said. "Nobody wants to lose. We're not used to losing. We don't lose a whole lot. When you do, you take ownership, all of us. You stay together, be honest, evaluate what you're doing, communicate well and go back to work."
The Tigers (6-1, 4-1) can right themselves on the road the next two weeks, kicking off Saturday at 3:30 p.m. against Maryland (5-2, 1-2), which has lost two straight, before a Nov. 2 trip to Virginia (2-5, 0-3.)
"I'm not going to throw our team or our staff under the bus because we had a really bad night at the office," Swinney said. "We're going to respond, and we're going to finish this thing strong."

7 Real Suits That Will Soon Make the World A Cooler Place
Having no natural predators or concrete reason for anxiety in my life, I spend my time, like most affluent people, worrying about intangible threats. I worry about escaping fires and defusing bombs, and having sex in space. Some quick Internet research revealed that I can solve the majority of my hypothetical problems with suits. I've collected the seven most incredible suits that exist today or are likely to exist in the next few years and if I can figure out a way to fashion them all together, I could be unstoppable.
The 2Suit
One of humanity's greatest achievements came in 1961 with the first manned mission to space, and after the cheers had died and confetti had fallen, mankind collectively asked the next logical question, "yeah, but how do we fuck up there?" I have been worrying about this problem since high school physics; the logistical issue of throwing genitals at one another in a weightless environment is that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. As a result, I would only be guaranteed one solid power-thrust before I was hurtling backward to the other end of the ship from that exotic yet anatomically correct alieness I picked up in the Virgo cluster.
"Well...that was underwhelming."
Enter the 2suit. Created by the poet Vanna Bonta, or as she's better known, "that one lady from Beastmaster," the 2suit allows two weightless and impulsive adults to dock with one another as they drift through outer space. It features a Velcro panel on the front that opens and attaches to the suit of another presumably drunk astronaut. Even though the design lets two people stay in proximity long enough for the copulation to end and the shame to take hold, it doesn't account for flying starts, or even the most basic spin maneuvers, which seem to be the primary motivations for space sex. Still, the technology is nascent and humanity is holding out hope for amendments to the original design, perhaps even a 3suit or a human centipede suit in the near future.
Now, back to Beastmaster because I inadvertently charged over that nugget of information earlier. The designer of the 2suit is the actress who played Zed's wife in Beastmaster, and who is currently playing my favorite inventor. I don't know why there is an emerging trend among Hollywood actors to invent useful products for humanity but I'm pleased that Vanna Bonta's thought process aboard a zero gravity flight with the National Space Society was, "This is incredible, the only thing that could make it better is if someone was doing me right now."
Beat that, Tin Cup.
The Metaflex Suit
For anyone with the lofty aspirations of stalking, voyeurism, or just experiencing the world without contributing anything to it (I'm looking at you, every person with a computer), there is a new technology on the horizon. Metaflex fabric is the closest science has come to human invisibility. Developed in Scotland at the University of St. Andrews, the Metaflex material can manipulate light by bending and channeling it, making objects nearly invisible. What's particularly remarkable about Metaflex is that it's malleable and can drape around the surface it covers, which is ideal for, say, a cloak or a really nice suit.
For me, the prospect of an invisibility suit means effectively becoming Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Transparent Eyeball," achieving the purest transcendental state. And with any luck, achieving it in a women's prison shower during a particularly aggressive and sensual gang fight. I think Ralph would have wanted it that way.
"Now you're just being a dick."
While most great powers come with great responsibilities, the power of invisibility isn't one of them. In fact, shirking responsibility is sort of the point of owning an invisibility suit in the first place.
The XOS 2 Robotics Suit (Exoskeleton)
Though it lacks aesthetic charm, the Raytheon XOS 2 suit isn't designed for dinner parties. It's built to lift heavy things and punch holes through people, two tasks with which I currently struggle. The suit has an incredible distribution of weight given its exceptional power; a person can tiptoe while wearing the exoskeleton making it the obvious accompaniment to the invisibility suit.
"No shower today, ladies. Someone punched a giant hole in the wall."
It's powered by hydraulics and has a 17:1 strength ratio which I imagine means something impressive to people who understand math. What's most amazing, however, is that the XOS 2 allows the wearer to control the amount of force exerted, the same way muscles in a human body work, something fairly complicated to replicate in a machine. To put the intelligent design of the suit into perspective, Ripley could have used it to pound an alien's body into its own tiny mouth and still offered Newt a reassuring pat on the head without ever taking off this power lifter. As far as real-world application is concerned, it seems best suited for bending rebar into eagles and throwing big rocks into a lake, two things that could make me a real hit at construction sites or on camping trips.
The Trojan Ballistics Suit
If someone gave you $15,000 when you were eleven and asked you to make the coolest suit of armor you could think of, it would probably look something like the Trojan. This suit has so many hidden pockets, weapons and general accoutrements that even the inventor forgets all the cool things he added (4:43). Whether any of it actually works is still up for debate.
Bear suit builder and Canadian optimist, Troy Hurtubise designed the Trojan suit for the troops in Afghanistan. It's built to protect against IEDs, bullets, and pretty much anything else an enemy might toss at a soldier with malicious intent. The helmets are equipped with noisy fans to keep the troops cool and to protect against the sounds of hurled insults or the screams of the mortally wounded (2:29). There's even a laser pointer in the forehead to spot snipers, or in case the wearer has to do an impromptu slideshow presentation. But to truly appreciate the Trojan Ballistics suit, you have to see it in action, so Troy Hurtubise created a ten minute video of him killing turtle-necked bad guys with it.
Sadly, and inexplicably, the military never bit on the design, forcing Hurtubise to declare bankruptcy. Troy tried to auction the suit on ebay to recoup some of his costs but no one met the reserve bid, proving once again that the Internet doesn't know a good thing even when it's hitting them in the face with a laser pointer.

XENOPHILE GOES JUJU! I.K. Dairo, the undisputed father of modern Juju, Nigeria's exuberant folk music, returns to the world music stage with an upbeat album of percolating drums, loping guitars, deep-voiced choruses and the unexpectedly bright, warm sound of accordion.
Dairo was Niger... more
I.K. Dairo is the undisputed father of modern Juju, Nigeria's exuberant folk music. Dairo was Nigeria's first Juju superstar and an overwhelming influence on two generations of musicians, including King Sunny Ade and Chief Ebenezer Obey.
Forming his first band (the Morningstar Orchestra) over 40 years ago, Dairo forged a modern pop style of sweeping rhythms and hook-filled melodies from Juju's folksy Yoruba origins, introducing the talking drum and accordion and making the guitar the staple of his new musical hybrid. His band -- the Blue Spots -- could soon be heard throughout Nigeria, at weddings, socials, and on the radio, driving audiences to their feet dancing to the irresistible rhythms.

This might also be training for them. They might not actually be testing anything. After all, the possibility of a positive is negligibly small.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West: No Proposal Yet, But Marriage Is 'in Their Future'
"Kanye is already an incredibly present father," a friend of Kardashian's tells PEOPLE. "He's very relaxed and comfortable."
As for future plans, sources say the new family will spend time together at grandma Kris Jenner's Hidden Hills, Calif., home. "They're putting work aside right now to focus on the family. They're in it 100%," adds the pal.
Despite a rumored proposal over the weekend, the source says that while it's on the agenda, West is yet to pop the question.
"I can't imagine them not getting married. That's in their future!" the source adds.

Residents joined with city leaders to march against violence. Hundreds of people, many children and students rallied and then marched along city streets against violence.
The rally got underway at 15th and Market streets on Tuesday afternoon. Police Officer Jenny Jenkins said the kids asked for the rally because they have pride in their city and their schools.
"No longer do they want to be known for all the crime and drug dealing, all the shootings. They want to be known for the good things we're doing today," said Jenkins.
Police, politicians and others joined the rally and march but officials say they want to see more adults taking part and getting involved.

Thank you golden411!
Seeing as there are some routines that my fellow members have not been able to find on YouTube, I have decided to reveal where I normally watch videos of performances.
I was reluctant to post this on the forum in case the person that uploads the videos gets banned from YouTube. But given that this is now the second GP that has had a video thread, and none of the uploaders have been banned yet, I think I'll take the chance. But, just to be on the safe side, I will not post any direct links.
Whenever Eurosport were not showing the entire competitions live, I always used to use La Riserva's videos to fill in the gaps. However, I found the big "La Riserva Forum" logo a bit too overbearing. Also, they do not include the warm-up sessions, which I like to see (and, as we saw at the Cup of China, the warm-up can have an influence on the competition )
But, this season, I have found another source for filling in the gaps in Eurosport's coverage. One that I find a lot more viewer-friendly.
There is somebody in Lithuania who uploads the entire Спорт-2 broadcasts to YouTube in one block (as opposed to having a playlist of individual routines). What I like about this is that, as well as the routines, you get the lead-in and the warm-up sessions.
But, what I really like is that our friend in Lithuania also uploads the gala exhibitions!!! (Although, admittedly, the Cup of China gala has had a copyright claim against it, so it is not viewable. Well, not viewable in the UK, anyway).
Now, the complicating factor is that this person seems to create a new account at the end of every month. Well, they have for the past couple of months, anyway!
So, for October's competitions, the user-name is: bestintheworld1990
And, for November's competitions, the user-name is: 1990bestintheworld
I don't know yet what their next user-name is going to be.
The only complaint that I have is that our Lithuanian friend is a bit slow in uploading the videos. For example, they only uploaded the NHK Short Programmes in the wee small hours last night and the Free Programmes this morning. And the Gala has yet to be uploaded. But, that is only a minor thing. Hey, it's better getting them a couple of days late than not getting them at all!
Hope this helps

Thank yuou CaroLiza_fan!!!
From the youtube channel CaroLiza_fan gave, here are the three missing FD's:
Yu & Wang FD (House of Dancing Water by
Huang & Zheng FD
Coomes & Buckland FD
other comment and taking the weight of guilt off my shoulders a bit if the videos do get removed...
Since my previous comment, I have done some more hunting and have found our Lithuanian friend's new user-name, as well as 2 more user-names that they have used in the past.
So, for December (just the NHK Trophy Pairs FS and Gala so far), the user-name is: Bablados
For September (Skate America Men's SP and Pairs SP on here; otherwise mostly Tennis), the user-name is: Riker752
And, for July/August (no Figure Skating, but all manner of other sports), the user-name is: Centravoj
Also, I'm not sure if it's the same person or not, but somebody in Lithuania has a YouTube channel of archive Olympic footage, which includes the Ladies SP and FS from the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMWvqmoHVdE ). I haven't watched it myself yet, but I'm sure it will be very interesting to see how the sport has changed (or not!) between then and now.
Meanwhile, I have also found somebody in Spain that has also put up the entire Спорт-2 broadcasts from some of the competitions at Skate America, Skate Canada, and the Cup of Russia. Their user name is MachineFSkating
What I like is that they have put all their videos from each GP into a single playlist, so that they are easy to find, rather than scrolling through lots of other videos trying to find the skating videos.
On the other hand, the videos in the playlists are a mixture of full competitions and individual routines, and there is a lot of duplication (not just between the individual routines and the full competitions, but there are also multiple copies of individual routines!)
But, what I really don't like is that all the videos have been uploaded BACK-TO-FRONT!!! I suppose this is to try to prevent the original broadcaster from spotting their logo (as it will be in the wrong position, as well as looking weird) and making a claim. So, unless you can be bothered to watch it on a mirror, it is very hard to decipher what is written on the graphics!
Hope this helps
Gala in full, and good quality:
Akiko posted some closing banquet photos on her blogs:
let's talk, and CaroLiza_fan, thank you again!
But, just be aware that this is not the full coverage. This is the same coverage as I watched on the TV on Sunday. But yesterday (before our Lithuanian friend uploaded the full Спорт-2 Gala broadcast), I found some videos of the last hour of NHK's own broadcast of the gala, and there were bits that were not shown on Eurosport.
For example, there was a very impressive group routine at the start of the 2nd half that Eurosport did not show. This can be seen at the start of "2012 NHK Trophy Gala 4-1". This video is the first of a series of 4 uploaded by tashidale, but they have not been put together as a playlist. But, this series is not the full coverage either as the Shibutanis are not shown (they should have been between the 1st and 2nd videos).
So, for now, I'm sticking with the Lithuanian.
You gotta love Akiko!

Since its release in 2004 the Ford Territory has become one of the success stories of the Australian car manufacturing industry. It's found a home in the garages of many families here in NZ as well as across the ditch and has even performed duties as an emergency response vehicle. But after seven years cruising the streets how can the Territory stay desirable in a SUV market that's packed with machinery from Japan and Europe? By offering a diesel engine option for the first time for starters, backed up by a modernising facelift, equipment upgrades and a greater emphasis on refinement. Has Ford's $230 million dollar investment in the new Territory paid off? Car and SUV was certainly impressed by the 2011 Territory at its launch event earlier this year and got some more seat time to take a closer look.
Looks are a good place to start because in terms of styling the Territory has really shifted up a gear. The familiar proportions remain but there are now some calculated injections of Ford's current kinetic design language. At the front there's an all-new face with new upper and lower grilles, the headlights, bonnet and front bumper have also been replaced. These fresh touches give a wider and more muscular frontal appearance. At the rear Ford has deftly wrapped the three quarter glass around to the rear windscreen, hiding the D-pillar and giving it a slick look. New horizontal taillights replace the previous vertical design and also wrap into the rear guards. There are some more subtle general tweaks as well, like vents on the front fenders and indicator repeaters in the wing mirrors. Our tested top-spec Titanium model was dressed up further with chrome trim on the front grille, LED front lights, tinted glass and 18-inch Y-Spoke alloy wheels. In terms of design it's a very successful facelift, the 2011 Territory looks 'right now' modern and dynamic while retaining its same staunch road presence.

BMS intends to bring jobs in Florida, and Thermo Fisher Scientific plans to shed jobs ahead of its acquisition of Life Technologies. [© Maksym Yemelyanov - Fotolia.com]
The Sunshine State's warming up to Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS). Florida's Hillsborough County will spend $6,000 for each of the 579 jobs BMS plans to create there over the next four years—but the state's expense remains a secret.
BMS joined Gov. Rick Scott on July 18 in announcing a new $38 million Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation (CAMLS). Set to open in January 2014, CAMLS will initially house up to 250 staffers with jobs in information technology, marketing services, business and finance services, and other functions supporting BMS' U.S. biopharmaceutical business. By 2017, BMS plans to base there more than 325 additional jobs supporting scientific and technical activities.
A day earlier, Hillsborough's Board of County Commissioners approved up to $2,156,800 for BMS over seven years, starting FY 2015. The funds will be combined with now-undisclosed state funds; Florida will keep that data confidential until May 2014, six months after the expected execution of a contract with the state Department of Economic Opportunity.
Documents from Hillsborough County show that as of last month, officials envisioned a $6.974 million package:
Florida has budgeted $86 million in 2013–2014 for QTI, QACF, and a third program, Sean Helton of the state's public-private economic-development partnership Enterprise Florida, told GEN.
The average annual salary of the Florida jobs will be $65,000. BMS won't quantify its savings over the pay of the nearly 200 workers it will eliminate in Plainsboro, NJ. According to Glassdoor.com data last updated July 10, annual salaries for 27 BMS job titles in Plainsboro ranged from $52,135 for an executive assistant to $171,744 for a U.S. marketing director.
BMS' jobs will pay 157% of the state's private-sector average wage of $41,401. "The majority of the positions at our new facility will be filled by people living in the Tampa Bay area. We expect no more than 10% to be filled by employees relocating from New Jersey," a BMS official, Frederick J. Egenolf, told GEN.
Among factors in BMS' decision was proximity to potential partners, which include University of South Florida Health (USF Health), H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, and H. Lee Moffitt's for-profit personalized medicine subsidiary M2Gen. "It is too early to know how we might collaborate with other life sciences and health care companies in the Tampa Bay area," Egenolf said.
Thermo Fisher Scientific late last week quietly disclosed plans to eliminate nearly 2% of its workforce—655 employees, to be exact—for which it will pay $31 million in severance, part of a total $93.2 million in restructuring and other costs recorded in the first six months of this year.
A Thermo Fisher spokesman told GEN that the charges included selling, general and administrative expenses of $10.3 million for transaction costs related to the planned acquisition of Life Technologies, primarily representing third-party legal fees of the acquisition. Thermo Fisher on April 15 announced plans to acquire Life Tech for $13.6 billion, plus $2.2 billion in debt. The deal is set to close early next year.
According to its 10-Q second-quarter results filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Thermo Fisher shed 340 of the positions during the second three months of the year ending June 30 through $12.8 million in Q2 charges. Nearly half those positions (150) were laboratory products and services employees, followed by 110 specialty diagnostics staffers and 80 analytical technologies workers.
For the first six months of this year, however, the largest share of eliminated positions (250, or 38%) were in analytical technologies, followed by 220 in lab products and services and 185 in specialty diagnostics. Those reductions resulted in severance charges of $9.4 million, $12.8 million, and $8.8 million, respectively. Additionally, Thermo Fisher took a combined $9.4 million in first-half charges reflecting abandoned-facility costs and other cash costs for each segment, primarily retention, relocation, and moving expenses associated with facility consolidations, as well as outplacement costs for severed employees.
The 10-Q filing did not disclose where the laid-off employees were based.
This story has been updated to include comment from a Thermo Fisher spokesman, and corrected from an earlier version misstating total restructuring costs and their relation to the company's pending Life Technologies acquisition.

Have you ever set out to crochet a sweater, spent days of work and hundreds of dollars on yarn, only to end up with something you never wear because it just doesn't? Marly Bird to the rescue!
In Curvy Crochet, you'll select the perfect pattern for your shape, and make easy fit adjustments to bust, sleeves, neckline and other trouble spots. You'll discover the luxurious yarns that make great plus-size clothes, and the ones that spell disaster every time. And you'll learn how to transform swatching from a tedious task into a valuable tool. You'll use your favorite sweater, right out of your closet, to tell you things you never knew about yourself. And you'll make your very own custom dress form ... from duct tape! Get advice and help from Marly as you learn the same techniques designers use for a perfect fit and finish every time.
Meet Marly Bird, knit and crochet designer who loves to create beautiful things for curvy women. Discover what you'll learn in this class and what skills you should have to best appreciate the course.
Job One to achieve perfect-fitting garments is to know your dimensions, so grab a tape measure and some friends, and prepare for an enlightening experience. Marly explains what your favorite sweater will teach you, and shows you how the lacy patterns and motifs of crochet are perfect for plus-size women.
Here's where you put those measurement skills into practice. Make a life-size mannequin of yourself! It costs $50, not $400, and helps you check fit as you crochet. Round up some friends and let the duct taping begin!
Garment design and yarn choice can make a big difference between crocheting something that you'll wear often and something that simply doesn't show off your best. Marly explains how to choose a pattern that will flatter you, and select the best yarn for fit and appearance.
Creating a fabric sample tells you a lot about how your garment will perform, before you waste money and time crocheting a garment you don't really like. You'll learn how to use oversized swatches as a stitch library and a test platform for shaping and garment care.
Charts and diagrams will help you figure out how to take the information from your favorite sweater and use it to change patterns and motifs to make them your own. Marly shows you tricks to make thinking in pictures easy and practical.
Using the Amimono Kimono, a simple dolman-sleeve sweater in an asymmetrical stitch pattern, Marly breaks charting down to show you how straightforward it is. You will learn how to use shaping so your sweater fits perfectly, adding design elements that flatter.
A sweater's neckline frames your face, so if your pattern includes a neckline that doesn't flatter you, change it! Marly explains how and gives tips about shoulder shaping.
Properly sized armholes make a big difference in comfort as well as how your garment looks. Marly walks you through the math and charting so you see how armhole shaping is done, and how to adjust an armhole without a lot of complicated stitch pattern changes.
Ill-fitting sleeves pose problems for many plus-size women. Take your sleeve and armhole measurements, and let Marly show you how easy it is to adjust a sleeve cap to set in perfectly and fit like a dream.
"Marly is a very knowledgeable and witty instructor who makes learning new things so enjoyable. Loved the course and feel confident that from now on all of my crocheted wearables will fit perfectly. Love the Craftsy format which allows me to have long-term access to the classes, access to ask the instructors questions and see the comments and projects of fellow classmates."

Counterfeiters of NFL merchandise selling their fake wares outside Ralph Wilson Stadium took a beating this season with Orchard Park police and federal authorities making a number of arrests, including another five on Sunday.
Investigators seized three cargo trailers and two trucks packed with counterfeit National Football League T-shirts and jerseys, many believed to be manufactured in China. They also seized more than $5,000 in U.S. and Canadian currency when making this latest round of arrests at different sites on Abbott Road and on Erie County land at the stadium, according to Orchard Park Detective John Payne.
The probe began last summer at the start of preseason games when town officers were responding to complaints of underage drinking, marijuana use and "people in general causing trouble," Police Chief Andrew Benz said.
"I had police officers looking to enforce quality-of-life issues from complaints that we had received from residents near the stadium. That's when we spotted people selling merchandise without permits and obstructing traffic while selling," Benz said. "We actually got some of the merchandise and questioned whether it was trademarked. The NFL sent an investigator to help."
Once the garments were identified as fake, Payne said he and fellow officers began making arrests throughout the Bills' football season, with a "final sweep" of arrests Sunday.
"We started to see a lot of these unlicensed vendors walking around the stadium parking lots selling trademark counterfeit T-shirts and jerseys out of their backpacks," Payne said. "The T-shirts were selling for $5 and the jerseys for $30. When somebody is purchasing a jersey, which normally sells for $100, that should be a clue it's counterfeit."
Arrested Sunday on state charges of trademark counterfeiting were Kelly Cerrone, 44, of Buffalo; Kyle Koch, 46, of Hamburg; Ronald Shattuck, 40, of Lackawanna; and Kenneth Smith, 49, and Joshua Wyskiel, 31, both of Le Roy. Their cases are pending in Orchard Park Town Court and federal charges are expected to be lodged against them by Homeland Security Investigations personnel.
Detective Lt. Patrick McMaster, Detective Larry Brand and Officers Patrick Fitzgerald, David Bowersox and Joseph Ray all assisted in the investigation, along with the federal police.
The sale of sports-related counterfeit merchandise has recently become a risky enterprise.
In late November, an Amherst man was arrested by Niagara County sheriff's deputies for allegedly selling counterfeit sports caps like those made by New Era Cap Co. and other manufacturers at the Town of Niagara's Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls. More than 200 counterfeits caps with a retail value of $6,000 were confiscated.
That same month, on "Cyber Monday," federal investigators in Buffalo shut down 15 websites allegedly selling counterfeit New Era caps and other sports merchandise. At the time, U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul Jr. pointed out that these are not victimless crimes. Not only is the company harmed, but so are its employees, he said.

A man solicited sex with a teenage boy using a smartphone application, according to investigators in Orange County.
Authorities said the 16-year-old victim was in town with his family on a trip to Walt Disney World.
Rodney Hartsell, 43, was booked into the Orange County Jail on child sex charges.
"Anybody soliciting minors is a problem," neighbor Eddy Lion said.
Lion said he is concerned to know Hartsell is accused of having sex with a minor.
"I got a 16-year-old girl. I've got to keep my eyes open now," Hartsell said.
The victim's sister has a serious heart condition, and the family was staying at Walt Disney World on a charity-sponsored vacation.
Hartsell reportedly struck up an illicit conversation with the teen on a smartphone application that is popular among gay men. The boy convinced his parents to let him go the Magic Kingdom by himself, according to investigators, and then met with Hartsell.
Hartsell took the boy home, snapped naked photos of the boy and had sex with him, according to an arrest report. The victim told Hartsell he was just 16, according to deputies.
Investigators said the boy's father called them when he found the illicit chats and photos on his son's phone.
Hartsell apparently told detectives that he did not remember the specific incident because he had many sexual encounters.
Investigators seized computers and other online material from Hartsell's south Orange County home.

Two power outages hit Nevada City at approximately 9:37 a.m. and 12:44 p.m. Wednesday.
The first outage was caused by a downed wire and affected 210 customers and power was expected to be restored at 4:30 p.m., according to Pacific Gas & Electric.
"It looks like there was equipment failure that caused the wire to come down," said Brandi Ehlers, PG&E spokeswoman. "It's not specified as weather-related, which is something that would have been noted if it was."
The second occurrence affected about 3,200 customers and Pacific Gas & Electric was able to restore all but 110 customers, the cause of which continued to be pursued as of 3 p.m.
"We had about 3,000 customers basically from Brunswick Road north towards Nevada City," Ehlers said. "We're still investigating and I don't have a time estimation."

DUNCANSVILLE - Magisterial District Judge Fred B. Miller of Tyrone made several proposals Wednesday when announcing his candidacy for a judgeship on the Blair County Court of Common Pleas.
Miller, 42, is leading an effort to begin a Veterans Court at the magisterial district judge level and hopes that can be up and running by this spring.
He said, however, that as a judge on the county court, he would like to see a Veterans' Treatment Court established to help veterans who are in court for more serious offenses as they attempt to overcome "addiction, mental illness and other disorders."
Article Photos
Addressing another subject that is being discussed by county officials, Miller said he supports the establishment of a Mental Health Court.
"The number of cases involving defendants with mental issues continues to grow. Nonviolent offenders who commit low-level offenses need treatment options in order to create a treatment plan to reduce repeat offenders," he told more than 100 supporters who gathered at Marzoni's restaurant near Duncansville for his announcement.
Miller said he wants to streamline the county's Protection-From-Abuse system and said he will propose a "One Family, One Judge Policy."
"It makes sense to have the same judge hear all matters related to families or parties having disputes," Miller stated.
Miller became the fourth candidate in the past week to declare his candidacy for judge in Blair County.
Miller, Blair County attorney David P. Andrews and Blair County Deputy District Attorney Wade Kagarise will compete on both the Republican and Democratic ballots for a seat vacated by Judge Hiram A. Carpenter, who retired this week after 23 years' service.
Common Pleas Judge Elizabeth Doyle will run for retention after a decade on the bench.
Miller was introduced by Altoona business leader Fred Imler and former State Rep. and Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary Sam Hayes Jr. Both men, Miller said, have been instrumental in his life.
Hayes said Miller has gone the extra mile in addressing those problems, not just in court, but in traveling to the local schools to discuss the problems of alcohol and drug abuse with the young people.
"You and I have seen Judge Miller. This is not a person who is asking for training. He has been a judge," said Hayes.
Miller said, "I believe one of the most significant qualities I bring to the job is judicial experience. ... I have decided thousands of criminal and civil cases, from traffic offenses to homicide hearings, from contract disputes to emergency protection-from-abuse orders."
Miller has a degree in finance from Penn State and a law degree from Penn State Dickinson Law School.
His wife, Tracy, and son, Grant, attended Wednesday's announcement.

HUNTINGTON Hongwei Yu, chief science officer and co-founder of Progenesis Technologies, is in the market for new business cards after the company hosted a grand opening in its new Huntington office and lab in the Red Cross Building.
As West Virginia's only locally owned and operated genetic engineering company, Progenesis recently changed its address from South Charleston to Huntington, a move that was celebrated during a grand opening at the new office Friday.
The company has long had ties to Huntington, as it is a spin-off of sorts from Marshall University, where Yu is a professor.
The company, which was founded in 2008, had been operating out of South Charleston until moving into the Red Cross Building and beginning renovations in January.
Most of the Progenesis work force lives in Huntington, so Friday's grand opening had been eagerly anticipated, Yu said.
"We are very excited to get to work so close to home," Yu said. "It will make a big difference between shuttling back and forth. We work with the Biotechnology Center at Marshall, so this will allow us to come in anytime we want to or need to and be able to do our work more efficiently."
Progenesis is a research and development company, which is focused on demonstrating the feasibility of manufacturing its genetically-engineered bacterial alginates on an industrial scale.
Bacterial alginates absorb water quickly, which makes them useful in everything from the agricultural and food industries to the cosmetic and drug markets.
In addition to the new office space, Progenesis' new digs include a bigger, brighter lab space for employees to do their work in, said Richard Niles, CEO of Progenesis.
"It really is going to be a wonderful place to work," Niles said. "We are on an upward curve of developing our product and the company, and these new facilities are part of the attraction of significant revenue that will allow us to add more employees, which is what we need to continue to produce and test the product of this company."
While the company is the only one of its kind in the state, Niles said he sees a bright future for biotechnology in Huntington.
"We are part of a new group of companies, which, locally, includes Vandalia, in biotechnology, which is a growing field. It's one that is going to diversify the economy in Huntington," Niles said. "Anyone who is curious about what we do is welcome to come and look at what it is we're doing. All it takes is giving us a call setting up a time to visit."
