I am ok with that list, but I hope it's not 100% accurate. I'd like at least one female in a nine month period.
Damn, That has just ruined the suprise of the reveals
King Hiss !!!
MOTUC needs:Tung Lashor, Rio-Blast and rest of the Hordes!
WANTED: Minicomics !!! Swords NEEDED !!! MY FEEDBACK
Looks pretty good!
I am most excited about the first and the last (Roboto and King Hsss)
But i gotta admit, who is Vikor? NA He Man? Off to Google Image search I go!
Wait wait wait...is this REAL?? And where are the pics of said figures?? (I only saw ones that have been released already)

This is what its all about, folks.
I think Vikor is a mistake.
That leads me to believe that Vikor is the Subscription Figure.
Catra is supposed to be the Feb figure.

I'm really underwhelmed by that lineup, and glad I didn't sit refreshing a thread for an hour to see that list during the presentation.
OMG. Are you serious?
Out of that list, I'm the most excited to see Bow and King Hiss. King Hiss is big time, baby. Hoping for Catra too. Please...please.
Pretty cool....but I want STINKOR!!!

That's a pretty good list of major characters coming down the pipeline. I'm very glad to see King Hiss finally make it into toy form and Vikor is a great addition to the line! I do hope he's as impressive looking as his concept art! I hope that means we'll get Demo Man in 2011 or 2012.

No Slave Girl? Watch us hurl!
A barbaric world without slave girls? That's truly barbaric!
Wasn't there someone official that tried to convince us that Roboto wasn't happening at SDCC? I think bcrduke got it right.
wow king hsss and vikor "the first he-man" yeahhhhhhh
With so many available POP and MOTU females I thought for sure we'd see at least one or two females.
I changed the title of the thread to include spoiler warnings. Please keep in mind when posting leaked information that some people may not want to know until the official reveal.

Pumped for all except "Vikor", that I'll have to wait and see about. haha
It's a great line-up! I would have loved Catra but since we're getting Grizzlor and Bow so close together I guess I can wait a bit longer. Sad, sad that there's no Soreceress yet though.
BUT! King Hsss rules. PS - The sub figure hasn't been mentioned still.
For the honor of Grayskull!

It's real! If you zoom in you can read it.
Very excited with Buzz-Off, Bow and King Hiss.
But Vikor is a mini-comic character right and didn't TG say the Subscription Figure would be a mini-comic character. So maybe the Feb monthly figure could be someone else? Just seems like a mistake.
And we know we get The Faceless One in May. Only April is a mystery.
Can't wait to see the pictures at the panel.
Domo arigato Mr. Roboto, and Buzz Off. Whooohoo!
MOTU 4 Life.:
My DVD collectionhttp://www.invelos.com/dvdcollection.aspx/Gameslaya
However, there are some real upsets here...
Roboto, Bow, Buzz-Off were all supposed to be either the 4th quarter.. seems that Bow has been moved.
NOT loving that The Sorceress is not listed, yet we see the Sorceress's Zoar form AGAIN.... WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?!?! Is that just supposed to be cruel? Or is she the subscription figure?? She IS technically a mini-comic character. The fact that Vikor is a monthly figure means that they could totally put Lodar in one of the regular monthly slots.
Rattlor and Catra were supposed to be Jan and Feb. Catra is sculpted, painted, and DONE. She is supposed to be on display.
Clearly they are holding her back. I do NOT like that there are no females until after March.
This is garbage.
Vikor?? Really? As a main figure and not a bonus??? What the heck??
Where is Man-E-Faces? Where is Catra?
I'm angry. I'm also worried. Why move King Hsss up? Aren't they supposed to be spreading out characters?
One POP figure, and it's Bow (Zzzzzz). One MYP figure, Carnivus, who I admittedly love. One concept character (Vikor... which I want, but not as a monthly figure, and certainly not before Man-E-Faces, Catra, or Rattlor.
They totally changed this because we guessed based on Trademarks and rumors. That's juvenile.
I couldn't be more underwhelmed. We HAD a KING HSSS a few years ago. I love the character, but I don't want re-do's of characters we just had in 200X.
I was feeling the MOTUC fatigue, and this has done nothing to reinvigorate me. At least now I won't have to keep wondering and waiting until later.
and this is TOTALLY wishful thinking....
they put up a fake list on purpose to throw people....
Those pics are not sneakily taken. They've not announced the list of forthcoming figures in past cons (NYCC, SDCC) until after the panel (during it). So, why did they put this sign up??
Did they want fake spoilers???

text: My four year old Labrador just had her sixth heat cycle. Although the length between cycles has never been the same, the length of the cycle have all been 4 weeks, except this one which only lasted 17 days. Since I have never kept a female in tact this long, I would like to know if this could end up being a split cycle and when would the second half normally occur?

Dir. Jonathan Miller
'Who is this who is coming?'
Based on a chilling short story titled 'Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You, My Lad' (first published in Ghost Stories of an Antiquary, 1905) by the master of ghost tales MR James, Whistle and I'll Come to You was adapted by the BBC for their arts Omnibus series.
The story revolves around the cranky and rationally-minded Professor Parkins (Michael Hordern) as he travels to the Norfolk coast for a brief holiday from his academic work. Out on one of his many perambulations, Parkins discovers an old whistle half buried in the grounds of an ancient cemetery. Reading the titular inscription carved into the whistle, Parkins is able to translate the latin verse and discovers it reads 'Who is this who is coming?' The professor dismisses it pompously and goes about his introverted daily routines of studying and hiking and further alienating himself from the other guests. Later that day though, as the light fades and the wind howls, Parkins hears a dreadful whistling coming from outside his bedroom window and dreams of being pursued by someone, or something, unseen.
The film devotes much of its brief running time to carefully establishing the character of the professor and all his bumbling pomposity. Awkwardness is rife as he starchly 'interacts' with the hotel staff and mumbles his way through a debate with a fellow guest, dismissing the other man's arguments rudely while haughtily denying the possibility of the supernatural. It is testament to the focussed performance of Hordern and all of the subtle little tics and nuances he conveys as Parkins, that the character retains our sympathy and interest, despite his arrogance.
|'There are more things in philosophy than are dreamt of in heaven and earth.'
Director Jonathan Miller perfectly captures the quietness and stillness that exists within the stories of MR James. Horrors are suggested and fleetingly glimpsed; they hover creepily on the periphery of our waking world, but the impact they have is undeniable. The film retains a bleak atmosphere, satiated with solemn dread and steadily cranks up a consistent foreboding terror…
The stiffness of Parkins and the stifling confinement of the upper middle-class social conventions of the time are beautifully conveyed in a scene where Parkins joins the other guests for dinner. Decked out in full evening wear, he hovers uncertainly in the hallway before entering the dining room and self-consciously sitting by himself. His presence is enough to plunge the other guests into awkward silence. The social inadequacies of Parkins, who is unable to interact with people outside of dense academic and philosophical discussions, renders him something of an awkward outcast. His solitude, coupled with the crisp black and white photography of deserted beaches and windswept landscapes, makes for sombre viewing. The tension never lets up and the feeling that this tale will not end well is simply unshakable.
Unsettling and supremely creepy images pepper the film and everything hangs heavy under an air of dread and sadness. As Parkins makes his way back to the hotel from the beach, we can make out a mysterious figure standing ominously behind him further down the beach.
One of the most disturbing scenes occurs as Parkins sleeps restlessly after bringing home the whistle he finds on his walk: he dreams of running along the deserted beach away from 'something', while behind him, further down the beach, a shapeless mass of sheets hauntingly floats towards him. There is something about this spectral image that implies so much threat and anxiety that it sears into the brain, lingering for days after viewing.
Another standout scene occurs when the by this stage completely uneasy and panicked professor attempts to sleep after having another nightmare. Sensing something unshakably unnerving, the professor glances across his hotel room from his bed, to the spare bed and what he sees finally succeeds in pushing his already brittle mental state completely over the edge and into the abyss of madness… It also provides the film with one of its most enduring and unsettling images.
The ambiguity of the film is one of its many strengths. We are never certain if these sinister encounters are brought on by genuinely supernatural occurrences, or if Parkins is simply experiencing something of a mental breakdown due to being alone for so long and having no human interaction. Either way, the end result is one of the most uneasy and disquieting ghost stories ever filmed.

Description of Research ExpertiseResearch Interests
Our goal is to develop a better understanding of HIV-1 immunopathogenesis and new immune-based strategies of anti-HIV therapy that are better tolerated and more sustainable for patient populations than the life-long use of antiretroviral therapy.
Research Description
The Montaner laboratory is investigating mechanisms of disease in HIV-1 infection and novel approaches to augment immune function by combining virological and immune-based research on patient-derived material as well as by using laboratory models of virus infection. The work is focused on 1) regulation of innate immunity, 2) identifying new mechanisms of immunodeficiency and discovering new approaches to reverse them, 3) exploring new therapy management practices, and 4) understanding the relationship between immune antiviral responses and control of HIV-1 infection.
Current Research Activities and Interests
Innate Immunity & HIV-1 Infection: Dendritic cells & Natural Killer Cells Direct or indirect interactions of viral particles with innate and specific adaptive immunity effector cells affects the cross talk between antigen presenting cells (APCs), NK cells and the antigen specific T and B-lymphocytes, and may contribute to regulate HIV disease progression. Specifically, we are pursuing analysis of the effects of HIV infection in macrophages, dendritic cells and Natural Killer cells.
A relationship between levels of HIV replication and innate cell function is supported by our preliminary data on DC and NK subset changes and viral replication in HIV-infected individuals showing an impairment of NK cell responses, APC endocytic uptake, differential expression of cell surface molecules associated with APC function, increased APC apoptosis, decreased IL-12 secretion, decreased IFN-? secretion and a loss of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDCs) and myeloid dendritic cells (MDCs) in PBMC. Based on these observations and the observed effects of antiretroviral therapy on DC and NK cell subsets, the inverse correlation between viral load and DC subsets in untreated HIV positive subjects and our observations of augmented NK lytic activity by activated DC, we are addressing longitudinal analysis and mechanistic experiments on DC/HIV interactions to test the hypothesis that HAART-mediated viral suppression restores mature NK and DC subsets necessary to activate innate mechanisms of antiviral control through lysis of infected cells. The long-term goal of this area of focus is to define the contribution of two major components of the innate immune system (accessory and Natural Killer cells) in controlling HIV replication thereby modifying disease progression. The short-term goal of our effort is to address the consequences of immune reconstitution on innate immunity following antiretroviral therapy, with particular emphasis on correlates of DC and NK cell functions and the consequences of HIV interactions with DC subsets. While adaptive HIV-specific immune responses continue to be an area of active investigation in AIDS research, the potential contribution of innate immune response, such as the relationship between DC subsets, disease progression and its consequences on other innate functions such as NK function remains largely unexplored in HAART settings. This study represents a hypothesis-driven collaborative effort by The Wistar Institute, the Infectious Disease Division of the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia FIGHT, Schering-Plough, Becton Dickinson, The Women's Interagency Study Cohort and the Multiple AIDS Cohort Study (MACS).

I am continuing my thread series.
This will discuss ONLY the vehicle in the title of the thread (in this case the Mandalorian Basilisk War Droid From KOTOR). PICTURES BELOW.
I will cover several unmade vehicles for the action figures per week, choosing them from a rotating schedule through anything from the movies that still has not yet been polled for and primarily the Expanded Universe.
I'll order it TPM, AOTC, and the EU, and then keep going back through the order in that manner. All possibilities from the Original Trilogy and ROTS have now been polled for and the results can be reviewed in the OT Vehicle Poll Discussion Thread in this forum. I'll create a PT Vehicle Poll Discussion Thread when the remaining choices left have all been covered.
So here I'm only asking you if you'd the Mandalorian Basilisk War Droid From KOTOR?
This ship (see pictures below) could be made for the $24 starfighter assortment which has successfully sold EU vehicles.
The combat chasis should be super-articulated and hold one Mandalorian Warrior in the saddle astride it. We'll need a Mandalorian with ball-jointed hips as a pack in for sure.
Other action figures that have now been made which would go with this droid include:
Mandalore (Fett Evolutions Box Set)
Ulic Qel Droma
Exar Kun
Darth Revan
Darth Malek
Bastilla Shan (upcoming for 2011)
More might be:
Zayne Carrick
Gryph (the Snivvian)
more... (from TOTJ and KOTOR comics, and the KOTOR video games)
The War Droid could fire two spring-loaded missiles from its front.
The legs and grasping claws should be articulated and able to support the vehicle and pose it, as well as have the front pinchers grab enemies for destruction or live capture.
Do you remember the old Kenner Mini-Rig, the CAP-7 (I think it was named) ?
The Mandalorian Basilisk War Droid could be very similar, though about 75% larger so that it is starfighter assortment size.
Do you want the Mandalorian Basilisk War Droid From KOTOR to be made?
What other features would you want on this?
Why would you NOT want it?
Would you like to see more figures from KOTOR, TOTJ, or both that interact with this piloted War Droid?
How do you think it would sell in light of the Clone Wars Animated Show featuring more Mandalorians? The cartoon characters could discover one or more of these War Droids as antiques and use them in battle. I could almost see Anakin riding one like a STAP.

But there will be no Six Finger Satellite reunion because, according to Ryan, "The band has never gone away. Never will." Ryan and 6FS' current lineup (with Brian Dufresne on drums and co-founder Rick Pelletier switching to guitar, with Dan St. Jacques on bass) are wrapping up an album of new material titled A Good Year for Hardness, to be released on the new Providence-based Anchor Brain imprint (who have also signed the Chinese Stars and the Sensitive Hearts, among others) with "selected dates around the States TBA," according to Ryan. Okay, so technically it's not a "reunion." But, just shy of their 20th anniversary (and more than a decade since hearing any new material), Six Finger Satellite is back on the radar in a big way.
Half Control (at LoadRecords.com and iTunes) harks back to their vicious prime; it's a compact 30-minute bruiser. Opening cuts "Thrown Out" and "Herpe Gimme Strength" are the audio equivalent of snorting Pop Rocks, and "Artificial Light" perfectly encapsulates the 6FS sound: chainsaw riffs, a dead-on rhythm section, and Ryan's throat-shredding cutting through their favored synthesizers. The lengthy closer "Bored Oracle" sounds as if Ryan was channeling Henry Rollins and Jesus Lizard's David Yow. "Come closer," Ryan repeats between echoing, wolfman howls.
Six Finger played their first show in forever at SXSW a few months back, and will surely melt the lacquer off the handsome bar at Everyman next Thursday (the 13th), followed by stops at TT's in Cambridge and Southpaw in Brooklyn. We recently caught up with J. Ryan, who set the record straight on all things 6FS.
HOW WAS SXSW? SXSW was OK. The best part was playing the afternoon show in this guy's backyard next to the dirty old goat shack. It was like playing at Fort Thunder.
I NOTICED THE "@WHOLEFOODS" EMAIL ADDRESS AND READ YOU WERE WORKING IN COLORADO. HAS ANYONE IN THE COMPANY STOPPED AND SAID, "HOLY SHIT — YOU'RE J. FROM SIX FINGER SATELLITE!" Yes, I still work for the largest organic grocer in the free world. A meat cutter in Denver once came up to me in the store and said, "There's trouble in the monkey house." The evil twinkle in his eye indicated he knew my secret.
WITH FILE-SHARING, YOUTUBE, MYSPACE, ETC., KIDS CAN NOW EXPERIENCE BANDS THEY NEVER WOULD'VE HEARD OR DISCOVERED BEFORE — AND OBVIOUSLY THAT'S A GOOD THING — BUT DOES IT ACTUALLY GET PEOPLE OFF THE COUCH AND OUT TO SEE A LIVE SHOW? I'm not sure. I think most people have no idea what good live music is all about and no amount of video peeping is going to change that.

Aid worker diary: the price of gold in DRC
OCHA's Philippe Kropf provides a snapshot of the crisis in South Kivu, on a journey with his colleague Desire Mirindi to the mining town of Kamituga, where fighting between the rebel group Raia Mutomboki and government forces has displaced and terrorized thousands of people.
The young man on the motorcycle is clearly shaken. "There are bodies of several dead soldiers on the road up ahead," he tells my colleague, Desire Mirindi, from OCHA's coordination section in Bukavu. Desire and I are on our way from Bukavu to the mining town of Kamituga about 120 kilometres to the West. Heavy fighting between the national army and the armed group Raia Mutomboki recently reached this part of South Kivu province.
We are travelling to Kamituga to meet the local authorities, humanitarian agencies and representatives of civil society to get a clearer picture of the humanitarian fallout from this recent outbreak of violence.
"The fighting started in the town of Isopo, about 25 kilometres to the North-East of Kamituga," Desire explains as our driver navigates our four-wheel drive along a dirt road." Raïa Mutomboki attacked the military positions there. We have arrived at a bad time."
Unspeakable horror
Our first stop is at Kamituga's hospital. The head doctor greets us with horrible news.
"The first two rape victims arrived at this hospital this morning," he tells Desire, shaking his head in despair. "There was one young woman of 18 years and another six-year-old girl." He said he anticipated more arrivals in the next few days.
Rates of sexual violence in eastern DRC are some of the highest in the world. According to the United Nations Population Fund, over 5,000 cases of sexual or gender-based violence were recorded in South Kivu in 2012, which is likely to be an underestimate. Social stigma, lack of access to communication, and a widespread culture of impunity mean that many victims do not report attacks. All parties here have been responsible for these horrific violations of international law.
"The mines of Mwenga are the goal of the Raia Mutomboki"
MwengaTerritoryis rich in gold and other precious minerals. The streets of Kamituga are lined with shops that buy gold. People here have a relatively high disposable income, in stark contrast with the rest of the country where most people live on less than a dollar a day. "The whole town depends on the gold business," Desire explains. "People choose not to cultivate their fields but rather dig for gold and many children work in the mines."
At night we meet a high ranking government official. "The mines of Mwenga are the goal of the Raia Mutomboki," he tells us." They want to take control of them to buy more weapons and ammunition."
His views are shared by members of the humanitarian community, one of whom tells us: "They (Raia Mutomboki) seem to have forgotten about their origins."
Raia Mutombokiwas originally a self-defense organization established by villagers in Shabunda in the centre of South Kivu. But the group has turned increasingly violent and is accused of grave human rights abuses over the past couple of years. Raia Mutomboki members also pose a threat to humanitarian agencies, and have forced the relocation of three projects from Shabunda territory because of safety concerns. Predictably, the losers are those who need assistance.
The group's attacks on military positions have triggered large movements of people. In January, fighting between Raia Mutomboki and government forces caused more than 25,000 people to flee their homes in Walungu and Sabunda territories.
"We have been walking for two days"
The next morning, on the road back to Bukavu, we came across small groups of mostly women and children carrying their belongings with them in. Talking to them, Mirindi learns that they fled Isopo when fighting broke out, seeking safety in Kamituga.
"We've been walking for two days now," one woman tells us. "There was lots of shooting around our village. Some of the young men stayed back and are hiding in the forest. All the others left the village."
We later learned that Raia Mutomboki burned 10 houses in Isopo to the ground. Since fighting started at the beginning of June, about 1,400 families have been displaced across Mwenga, according to some of our local partners.

Please help!! Eeeewwwwww
There are red, thread-like worms in my fish tanks. I noticed some white worms (maybe planaria)? Last water change, this week I'm seeing lots of red thread-like worms, most over 1/2"-1" long. I'm completely grossed out. What are they and how do I get rid of them!? I am trying to cut back on feeding and do water changes about every 5-7 days. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Continue what you are doing. Feed less and water change. Don't forget to vacuum the gravel real well during each water change and you will see a decrease in the worms. I'm surprised your fish are not eating them. Don't forget to clean the filter with one of those water changes, if worms are in the tank, they are probably in the filter too.When I go fishing I just throw sharp rocks in the water and wait for the dead fish to float to the top... Kingfisher
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Dear naps, sorry I hated you so much when I was a child... Love me
Exactly how big is the tank? What kind of fishes are you keeping and what are you feeding?Think with logic and rationality more than emotion. Act with moderation and consideration. Contemplate ideals and realistic goals and weigh out possibilities and options. Temper not with personal delusions or false hope but learn to accept and move on.
Yeah... If this happened in my tank I'd just stop feeding until the worms are gone.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

Thank you for the replies! I've seen the white worms in my 40 gallon tank (a variety of fish, 2 angels, 2 swordtails and 2 panda garra). They get natural flakes 2x a day, occasional bloodworms and a couple shrimp pellets for the pandas. The other tank where I've seen the red worms is only a 10 gallon. It houses some shrimp (maybe 10-12) and baby guppies.
I'm a little concerned for MY health, too (since I suck the end of the vacuum hose :/ ).
There's two things you can get from an aquarium, that's a serious case of the runs but you'd need to swallow water for that. Then there's fish tbc or Mycobacterium. If you work in an infected tank and you have cuts on your hands then you can catch that. The worms won't do you any harm.
As to your problem, I think you overfeed on the big tank. I'd say fast for 4 days at least. After that I'd say go back to once a day feeding.
The smaller tank is a bit more of an issue. Once the baby guppies are big enough you could try a garra in there but I'm a bit concerned about the shrimp. There is an product you could use agains tthe worms that's based on betelnut, won't harm the shrimp.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

What product is that? Is there another product I can use on the 40 gallon that doesn't have shrimp? Thank you :)

If this health care debacle is so good for everybody then why are key politicians makinf deals to lessen it's effects in their states?
State Medicaid.....A central feature of the Baucus bill is the vast expansion of state Medicaid programs. This is necessary, we are told, to cover more of the nation's uninsured. The provision has angered governors, since the federal government will cover only part of the expansion and stick fiscally strapped states with an additional $37 billion in costs. The "states, with our financial challenges right now, are not in a position to accept additional Medicaid responsibilities," griped Democratic Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland......... Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who is worried about losing his seat next year, worked out a deal by which the federal government will pay all of his home state's additional Medicaid expenses for the next five years.
Taxing Cadillac health policies..... Mr. Baucus's legislation would tax high-value insurance plansa 40% tax on plans that cost more than $21,000 a year. Democrats argue it is reform to make those who can afford "luxury" health care chip in for those who can't afford any at all.........Sen. Chuck Schumer didn't want a lot of angry overtaxed New Yorkers on his hands, so he and other similarly situated Democrats carved out a deal by which the threshold for this tax will be higher in their states. If you live in Kentucky, you get taxed at $21,000. If you live in Massachusetts you don't get taxed until $25,000. This carve-out is at least more sweeping, applying to 17 (largely blue) states, though that's cold comfort if you live in Louisville.
Taxing Pharmaceutical companies......Mr. Baucus will also pay for his bill by socking it to pharmaceutical companies, on the principle that drug companies are filthy rich and should have to contribute to health care. The view is a bit different in New Jersey. The state's Web site boasts it is the "global epicenter" of the drug industry, where "15 of the world's 20 largest pharmaceutical companies have major facilities." Sen. Bob Menendez, of the Garden State, seems concerned that his home-state employers are going to struggle to both pay their federal liabilities and to continue to grow and innovate. And Thus Mr. Menendez's quiet deal for a $1 billion tax credit for companies investing in drug R&D.
Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow isn't counting on it when it comes to her constituents. She and Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry included $5 billion in the bill for a reinsurance program designed to defray the medical costs of union members.
"This will help our employers, whether it's the auto industry or whether it's other industries, be able to lower their costs for early retirees," said Ms. Stabenow. She is apparently unaware that this is what the broader bill is supposed to do, even without $5 billion in union slush money.
So, health-care "reform" is good, smart and necessary, so long as it isn't fully applied to the states of the senators who are pushing it. The Democrats' growing problem is that somebody is ultimately going to have to pay, and Mr. Reid's bad example has given every one the same idea. "If Colorado has a fair claim on being treated the same way Nevada has been, of course we're going to ask to have that kind of treatment," promised Sen. Mark Udall, upon news of the Reid deal.

"How did [Republicans] not know we were going to get our ass kicked?"
"Everyone thought the election was going to be close. How did [Republicans] not know we were going to get our ass kicked?" lamented Rob Jesmer, head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. "I don't understand how we didn't know. That's the part that's most puzzling and frustrating and embarrassing."…
Some answers are easy to implement: Pollsters should fix voter screens, used to weed out of their samples irregular voters who aren't likely to vote. Including only likely voters often leads to a more Republican-heavy sample. But in an era of fine-tuned turnout machines and get-out-the-vote drives, even those irregular voters are likely to show up. Polling all registered voters, rather than those most likely to make it to the polls, would at least give Republicans an idea of the worst-case scenario.
Pollsters should also control more for age, gender, and race than for party identification. One prominent party pollster pointed to a late survey conducted for Indiana Republican Richard Mourdock that showed him leading Democrat Joe Donnelly by 2 points. That survey, conducted by McLaughlin & Associates, showed that 56 percent of Indiana's electorate would be over age 55. Exit polls revealed that number to be vastly overstated; only 43 percent of the electorate was over 50…
Democrats "must be looking at us like we're the biggest f—– morons in the world," one frustrated Republican said. "That's what I'd be doing."

Following in the footsteps of her husband's mother Princess Diana, whose concern for children's issues was evidenced in the charities she chose to lend her official support, Duchess Kate has accepted honorary positions with several organizations that help young people, St. James Palace revealed.
A Brownie during her own childhood, the Duchess of Cambridge will serve as a volunteer leader with the youngest scouts — Beaver Scouts and Cub Scouts — near the home she shares with her husband William in north Wales, where he is stationed with the Royal Air Force. She joins the ranks of nearly 100,000 other scout volunteers across the United Kingdom.
At the age of 8, Kate enrolled as a Brownie with the 1st St Andrew's pack in Pangbourne, Berkshire. According to the Scout Association, Kate will help with the day-to-day working of her packs as well as activities such as running games, teaching first aid, and helping out with cooking and campfires.
The Look: Flashback to Kate's Scouting style
In addition to the Scout Association, Kate has become a patron of the East Anglia's Children's Hospices and The Art Room, which works with children to increase their self-esteem, self-confidence and independence through art. Her other charity choices: Action on Addiction, an anti-drug organization, and the National Portrait Gallery.
Princess Diana lent her support to the Great Ormond St. Hospital for Children NHS Trust and charities that worked to help children with leukemia and disadvantaged and at-risk young people. She also crusaded against landmines, many of whose victims are children who blunder into them innocently.Slideshow: Duchess Kate's royal style (on this page)
Over the coming months, Kate will make private and public visits to the charities she has chosen. Since September, she has been researching charities to support and has already made a series of private visits to a number of organizations. Her patronage choices reflect her personal interests in the arts, the promotion of outdoor activity, and the support of young people in need, the palace said.
Want hair like Duchess Kate? New 'digital perm' making waves
While charity patronages are considered an important activity for members of the royal family, the charities chosen also get a real boost from the publicity. Only hours after the announcement, Kate's photo is already front and center on the websites of the charities chosen.
"The Duchess has an incredibly busy life, which makes it all the more inspiring that she has chosen to volunteer alongside us," said chief scout Bear Grylls in a news release.

Minnesota law professor to speak on regionalism and civil rights, Nov. 14
Posted November 7, 2000; 11:22 a.m.
John A. Powell, University of Minnesota Law School professor and executive director of the Institute on Race and Poverty, will lecture on "Regionalism and Civil Rights," Tuesday, November 14, 4:30 p.m. at Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall on the Princeton campus.
Powell, who joined the Minnesota law school faculty in 1993, teaches race and poverty, civil rights law, property law, and jurisprudence. Seven years ago, he founded the Institute on Race and Poverty, a strategic research center focusing on the unique dynamic created by the intersection of racial segregation and poverty. The Institute's goals are to create scholarship, commentary, and dialogue to promote a better understanding of the issues confronting communities that face the combined challenges of racial segregation and poverty.
Prior to his current position, Powell received an International Human Rights Fellowship from the University of Minnesota to work in southern Africa. He has served as a consultant to the government of Mozambique and as the national legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union.
This lecture is cosponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and Isles, Inc., a Trenton-based community service organization. It is free and open to the public.

Barclays' Brian Johnson and team hosted Jeff Evanson, Tesla Motors' (TSLA) vice president of investor relations, for a series of investor meetings last week and came away with a better sense of what's going on at the company.
In a report released Friday, Johnson wrote:
The meetings provided us with better appreciation of the ongoing momentum at Tesla – revenue growth will be driven by the international rollout, and battery costs are coming down, which at some point may make the Gen III vehicle a viable option for consumers. However, we reiterate our EW rating as the path to margin expansion will be gradual – although Tesla believes it can ultimately generate mid-teen op. margins, investors should expect closer to low-mid single digit margins as Tesla invests in its growth. Moreover, we already give Tesla the benefit of the doubt in valuation on many fronts, and we see the grid storage opportunity as only a 20-25% boost to valuation, not the doubling that some expect.
Shares of Tesla have dropped 3% to $238.93 at 3:04 p.m. today.

These adorable bunny cupcakes are easy to make and decorate, and they'll do double duty as a darling centerpiece at your Easter brunch.
It's best to serve these immediately, however if they must be made ahead, store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Gum will melt in warm or moist conditions, so covering the cupcakes at room temperature could cause your gum ears to fall.
Before adding the eyes, gently pat down the coconut in the eye areas to give you a smooth surface to pipe onto. For "sleeping" eyes, use gel to create half circles.

Badlands 2200 review by Andy Backus of the Long Range Hunting Store:

The Badlands Summit pack is the new and improved version of the famous Badlands 4500 pack which was one of the first full size packs to be designed specifically for the western hunter. In creating the Badlands Summit pack, the guys at Badlands cut 3 lbs compared to the Badlands 4500 by using multiple types of fabrics - strong and durable traditional ripstop material in critical places and extremely light-weight 900 denier ripstop elsewhere.
The first time I picked up the 3 lb 9 oz Badlands Sacrifice pack I could not believe that it was actually a 3450 cubic inch pack capable of carrying some heavy loads in some nasty country. The folks at Badlands designed the Sacrifice to be the absolute lightest weight full-featured hunting pack of its size ever built. The Badlands Sacrifice also features the Badlands Hypervent frame technology which allows cool air to flow between the pack and your back helping to make the Sacrifice one of the most comfortable packs you will ever carry.
The Badlands Ox Pack is not your Granddad's external frame pack. The first time I put my hands on the Badlands Ox Pack I was blown away by all the unique and modern features that have been designed into this pack. The guys at Badlands have designed the new modern frame hauler capable of hauling all your gear plus more meat, cape, etc. than you probably want to carry!
The Badlands Superday pack is a well thought out, tough day pack that feels at home in the whitetail woods or at the top of a mountain. The Superday is sized well for a single day's gear and is extremely well organized with tons of pockets and compartments. The Badlands Superday also features a built-in rifle scabbard system.

The Badlands Monster Fanny pack is the most technically advanced hunting-specific fanny pack you will find. The guys at Badlands pulled out all the stops in creating the Monster. From state of the art materials to a unique suspension system, the Badlands Monster fanny is designed for the new breed of hard-core, backcountry hunter.

The Badlands Treestand Hunting Pack is an extremely organized, light weight day pack designed to keep everything the tree stand hunter needs right at their fingertips. The Badlands Treestand Hunting Pack features a lightly padded back panel.

The Badlands Treestand pack's main compartment includes 5 zippered compartments inside on the front and rear walls for organizing your smaller items. One of the compartments is designed to hold a Badlands 105 ounce water bladder (sold seperately).

I tried setting mWorldProjection to the camera projection and mWorld to the transformation of the volumetric lines.
worldProjection = world * projection. Got that right?
To be crabby... Those aren't even volumetric lines. They're just fancy linear billboards with UV selection based on orientation... in an outrageously terrible implementation at that! You probably could write up proper volumetric lines if you're competent, which I recommend. When you integrate over the path through an OBB, I don't think you'll want to base it on sqrt() distance, which would be pretty (INSANELY) naive considering performance, but won't provide a fully realistic distribution anyway. I'll reply again if I can think of a good way to do this. Others can throw in their suggestions too if they want.
This might be helpful. I'm reading it myself and I'll try to put it into useful terms (appropriate for your needs).
One last additional remark
point sprites = billboards which are oriented about a point.
linear billboards = billboards which are oriented about a line.

To the Editors:
I am sure that it is rare to catch Henry Petroski ("Impossible Points, Erroneous Walks," Engineering, March–April) in an erroneous statement, but I noticed a small error in the following statement: "Among the hotly debated equine topics of the 1870s was whether at any time in its gait a trotting horse has all four feet off the ground simultaneously."
The controversy was with respect to a galloping horse, not a trotting one. The debate was fueled, if not instigated, by the paintings of Frederic Schneider Remington, the famous sculptor and painter of the American west. He portrayed galloping horses in his paintings as having all four feet off the ground simultaneously. See the painting Dash for the Timber as an example (right).
The human visual system integrates stimulation over very brief time intervals, so that visual perception is somewhat like time-lapsed photography. As with nearly all human behaviors, there are marked individual differences in how long the integration interval is. Apparently, Remington and Leland Stanford had what the graduate students in my laboratory called "fast eyeballs."
One of my research interests was to determine, similar to a movie camera, how many "frames" a second the human visual system takes. There are several methods of investigating integration times in the laboratory. One is to hone in on perception of a missing dot in a 5 x 5 matrix of dots by presenting it at varying time intervals. As an example, for a given subject a 25 millisecond exposure of the matrix may yield a report accuracy of the missing dot position of 95 to 100 percent. The matrix stimulus is then divided into random halves, one half containing the missing dot, and the halves presented successively and at timed intervals to several hundred seconds. In order for report accuracy, the two halves have to be integrated into a composite perception. Among a college population, report accuracy remains high as long as the total duration of the stimulation is on the order of 100 milliseconds. Brightness perception also shows a similar summation interval. It follows Bloch's law: Intensity I multiplied by time t equals a constant c, which is similar to the Bunsen Roscoe law for photography. In the 1950s there was some interest in whether consciousness was quantized into psychological moments. In terms of this conception, succeeding stimuli would be summed into a composite perception if they occurred in the same psychological moment.
Testing of a small sample of professional umpires and referees showed that they tend to have very fast eyeballs. But integration increases markedly with old age. Sixty-year-olds have several times as long an integration time as twenty-year-olds. If you want to know whether you have fast eyeballs, do you see how a housefly launches itself into flight from a flat surface such as a tabletop?

Film & Discussion: Split Estate
This compelling Emmy Award winning documentary shows the dirty side of hydraulic fracturing and natural gas, an energy source the industry touts as a clean alternative to fossil fuels.
Imagine discovering that you don't own the mineral rights under your land, and that an energy company plans to drill for natural gas two hundred feet from your front door. Imagine having little recourse, other than accepting an unregulated industry in your backyard. SPLIT ESTATE maps a tragedy in the making, as citizens in the path of a new drilling boom in the Rocky Mountain West struggle against the erosion of their civil liberties, their communities and their health. http://www.splitestate.com

Intel (INTC) this afternoon reported Q4 revenue that slightly exceeded consensus, and EPS that was a penny short, and forecast this quarter's revenue in line.
Revenue in the three months ended in December rose 3%, year over year, to $13.8 billion, yielding EPS of $51 cents.
The revenue number was slightly above the mid-point of Intel's forecasted range of $13.2 billion to $14.2 billion.
Analysts had been modeling $13.72 billion and 52 cents per share.
Gross margin came in at 62%, up four points from the prior-year period.
Revenue in the company's "PC Client Group" that sells microprocessors for personal computers fell 4%, year over year.
CEO Brian Krzanich called the results "solid," and reiterated a view, offered during November's analyst day meeting, that the PC market is "stabilizing."
Additional commentary on the quarter by CFO Stacy Smith is available on Intel's Web site.
For the current quarter, Intel sees revenue in a range of $12.3 billion to 13.3 billion, which at the midpoint is in line with consensus of $12.79 billion. Gross margin is expected to decline to 59% in Q1.
For the full year, the company reiterated an expectation for revenue to be "approximately flat," with gross margin of 60%, "plus or minus a few percentage points."
Intel management will host a conference call with analysts at 5 pm, Eastern time, this evening, and you can catch a webcast of it on the company's investor relations Web site.
Intel shares are down 69 cents, or 2.5%, at $25.85.
Update: See the write-up of Intel's conference call, and a brief snippet of an interview with CFO Smith following the call.

School of Management marks 40th anniversary with Homecoming gala
October 12, 2010Tweet
In its relatively short history, the School of Management has grown tremendously, yet there is room for further growth. That was the sentiment at the school's 40th anniversary celebration that took place during Homecoming weekend.
Alumni, faculty and staff gathered on Saturday night in the Mandela Room of the University Union for a gala dinner commemorating the school's milestone.
In his opening remarks, Dean and Koffman Scholar Upinder Dhillon recapped some of the school's major accomplishments since its inception in 1970.
"This is a time to reflect on our past and look ahead to an exciting future," Dhillon said. "Since the School of Management was founded, the hard work of generations of faculty, students and alumni has helped us achieve much."
Interim President C. Peter Magrath, who led the University during the School of Management's early days, commended the dean, faculty and alumni for their efforts which led to SOM being named the 12th best public undergraduate business school by Bloomberg Businessweek.
"This school has a national and international reputation," Magrath said. "All of us work together to promote something that is really worth promoting. And that is smart education for men and women who will be incredibly strong leaders in business."
Mark Deutsch '81, chair of the school's Metro Advisory Board, said the school influenced his career path, which progressed from investment banking to private equity to the founding of his own firm, Hudson Ferry Capital.
"I have enjoyed a reasonably successful career, which I attribute to my parents – who put education above all else – and to Binghamton University," Deutsch said. "I was blessed with terrific teachers, interesting coursework and dynamic and competitive students. That combination brought out the best in me."
Anthony S. Kendall '83, MBA '85, president of the Alumni Association Board of Directors, echoed Deutsch's feelings for the school. Kendall is CEO of Mitchell & Titus, a member firm of accounting powerhouse Ernst & Young.
"SOM changed my life…this is where I learned how to be a leader," Kendall said. "People ask me what I did to make myself successful. I tell them I placed myself in the right place and surrounded myself with the right people. The School of Management was the right place."

The well-known flowers of H. macrophylla turn pink or blue depending on the pH of your soil. Choose an uncommon variety, however, and you'll have more than the flower's color to admire. 'Nigra' (a mophead type) features black stems that set off the plant's green foliage long before any flowers appear. And 'Lady in Red', a lacecap that's new for 2005, flushes burgundy in the fall, but its red stems and red-veined leaves make it appealing all season long.
6 Exceptional Choices
'Bluebird' (H. serrata) balances delicate lacecap flowers atop a small shrub that only reaches 3 feet.
'Alice' (H. quercifolia) adds drama to large shady areas with its supersized oak shaped leaves and delicate flowers.
'Nigra' (H. macrophylla) sets off large blooms with striking black stems that pop out of the landscape in winter.
'Limelight' (H. paniculata) illuminates the garden for months in the summer with its unusual pale green blooms. Choose this extremely hardy shrub to fill in a large, sunny section of your yard.
'Endless Summer' (H. macrophylla) blooms for a long period and in very cold zones, making it the perfect choice for Northern gardeners.
The climbing hydrangea (H. anomala subsp. petiolaris) adds a surprise element with lacy blooms that cover the vigorous vines. For gardeners who want the unexpected.
Extreme Zones
Bigleaf hydrangeas (H. macrophylla) need special attention in the hottest and coldest zones. In the hot climates of the Southeast and Southwest, plant them in a shady spot or where they get only morning sun. And make sure they get consistent moisture, advises the New Mexico State University Extension Service. Extreme heat can make even shade-grown shrubs wilt, but watering revives them.
In cold areas, you must prevent bigleaf hydrangea stems from freezing to the ground, or they may not survive winter. Surround the shrubs with chicken wire, fill the center all around the stems with dried leaves, and cover the cage with burlap. Even with these measures, growing hydrangeas in cold, dry areas such as the Rocky Mountain states is risky, because of the region's drought problems and water restrictions.
H. serrata is much like H. macrophylla, except that it grows into a smaller, more compact shrub. University of Maine Cooperative Extension Specialist Lois Berg Stack notes that in Zones 3a through 5b, H. serrata seems more hardy than H. macrophylla, although neither will survive reliably in climates colder than Zone 5.
Native Beauty
The beautiful oakleaf hydrangea (H. quercifolia, Zones 5?9) is native to shady stream banks in eastern North America. Most varieties grow 4 to 6 feet tall and wide, with white flowers, and leaves that are indeed shaped like those of an oak, only larger. The leaves begin the year with a rusty look and continue to have a roughness to them throughout the summer. In fall, the foliage turns varying shades of burgundy.
One of this shrub's finer points is that it suckers (sends up vigorous shoots from its roots) slightly, which makes it easy to divide if you want more plants. You can choose from several varieties, including the astoundingly large 'Alice', which grows to 12 feet tall and wide with 12-inch panicles—highly branched flower structures—to match. On the other end of the spectrum is 'Pee Wee,' which tops out at about 3 feet.
In moist, temperate climates, such as the Pacific Northwest, the oakleaf hydrangea grows beautifully as a dry shade plant, but in hotter climates or if sited in more sun, it needs consistent moisture. It is a robust grower in morning sun, reports Ed Gilman, Ph.D., professor of horticulture at the University of Florida, who has an 8-foot-tall, 12-foot-wide specimen in his own garden. In very cold climates, protect the stems of oakleaf hydrangeas from freezing in the same manner you would bigleaf types.
A Fine Vine
The climbing hydrangea (H. anomala subsp. petiolaris, Zones 4-9) is a fabulous choice where you want to cover a large tree trunk or decorate a wall. The vine, left unpruned, can reach up to 50 feet or more. Its aerial roots cling to craggy surfaces such as the furrows in the bark of a tree. Grown freestanding, it becomes a hulking, shrublike form. White lacecap blooms garnish the plant in summer.
The climbing hydrangea also works well trained against a wall; or, to make the background surface easier to repaint, you can provide the plant with a sturdy trellis. As an espalier, the climbing hydrangea adds a formal dimension to your garden, and the structure of its winter branches—in addition to its exfoliating bark—offers as much ornament out of flower as in. I've seen a climbing hydrangea growing happily in the Pacific Northwest on a wall 8 feet long and 6 feet high for more than 10 years. The climbing hydrangea also fares well in Maine, especially along the coast, reports the University of Maine's Lois Berg Stack.
In the coldest climates (which includes Zones 3a through 5b), grow the hardiest of hydrangeas, H. arborescens and H. paniculata, says Stack. The oakleaf and bigleaf types are generally too tender to survive frigid winters.
H. arborescens blooms on new growth—wood that develops in spring. This makes it an easy choice in cold climates because blooms aren't formed on old wood—wood that developed the previous year—which may die back during the winter. Gardeners that prefer not to worry about when and how much to prune also find this shrub easy to care for. H. arborescens can be cut back in late winter to early spring (before new growth begins) and still produce lovely white flower clusters in summer. The cultivar 'Annabelle' bears immense heads of sterile flowers.
If you really love the bigleaf types but you live where winters are rough, a new introduction may be just what you are looking for. 'Endless Summer' has survived winter in Minnesota and come back to bloom in vivid pink the following season. A combination of traits makes this plant a winner in the north. Unlike most bigleaf hydrangeas, it blooms on both old wood and new, and it survives Zone 4 winters. "People are quite excited about 'Endless Summer'," says Stack.
Of course, no matter where you live, it's easy to get excited about hydrangeas, because they require so little from us and give back so much!
Pruning for Blooming
No blooms on your bigleaf hydrangea this year? Improper pruning may be the cause. But never fear: Pruning a hydrangea the right way is easy if you follow these guidelines.
Keep some of this year's growth. Gardeners often inadvertently cut off next year's flowers because Hydrangea macrophylla flower buds tend to form at the tips of branches and on old wood, meaning that the buds for next year's blooms form on this season's growth.
Remove one-third of the shrub's stems. Each year, keep the shrub less dense and rejuvenate it by removing up to one-third of the stems as close to the ground as you can, beginning with the oldest growth. Do this after the shrub has finished blooming; the remaining stems will bloom with bigger flowers than you had before when the shrub was crowded with branches.
Prune after bloom. Remove old flowers by cutting to just above the swollen buds for next year. And remember to cut off only the dried flower head, no further down.
