Uh oh, it's weenie war! Joey Chestnut engages in Twitter battle with rival eating event owner
Aug 28, 2012, 12:38 PM EDT
Earlier today we brought you news of Takeru Kobayashi's record-breaking hot dog eating performance at the New York State Fair … 110 dogs in 10 minutes. This broke Joey Chestnut's mark of 68 wieners, set at the Famous Nathan's Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest this year. And it didn't sit well with Chestnut, who claimed on Twitter that Kobyashi's feat is unofficial, and furthermore he ate "crap dogs."
It all unfolded on Twitter on Monday, as the president of the Hofman Sausage company, Frank Zaccanelli, got into a heated exchange with Chestnut on Twitter. Hofman hosted the Kobayashi event, and in fact Kobayashi is an investment partner in the company.
It's weenie war!
Of course this could all be a staged argument for publicity-grabbing purposes … who knows? Hey, it worked for Andy Kaufman and Jerry Lawler.

Chestnut needs to nut up and face Kobayashi. Quit hiding behind Twatter and put your gut where your mouth is.
- grudenthediva - Aug 29, 2012 at 2:23 AM
Um, so the guy who comes to Coney Island, dethrones Kobayashi, sends him running like a pansy, needs to now come and "nut up"?
Makes sense.
- kingmiedus - Aug 29, 2012 at 8:13 AM
He didn't run like a pansy. Kobayashi just felt he could earn more money by not being in an exclusive contract. The 4th of July contest doesn't let you compete unless you sign an exclusive contract – which means you can't compete elsewhere. Kobayashi wants to compete in other events. He's beaten Chestnut a few times, including doing it at the exact same time as Chestnut in 2011, but just on top of a bar in manhattan. He got 69. 110 now is crazy though.
- shorttracknews - Aug 29, 2012 at 3:41 PM
Only problem is the 69 he put up during the same contest (at another location) was a bogus number. I'm sure the 110 is as well. I mean really, you added 41 to your total in a 10 minute span and we are supposed to think it's legit?

Newburyport Daily News
---- — To the editor:
I urge my fellow voters to choose Lyndi Lanphear for council at large for one reason: She understands where money comes from.
Some of the candidates have jobs as teachers or organizers or work for nonprofits. Honest work, of course. But give me the councilor who knows how tough it is for the rest of us to turn a profit.
Ben Franklin advised that if you would learn the real value of money, try borrowing some. George McGovern, a heroic pilot in WW2, a senator, a presidential candidate and a liberal's liberal, recently wrote a startling confession in the NY Times. He said that he spent a lifetime in Congress writing strict laws and regulations for business owners to follow or else. When he retired from politics, he formed a partnership to open an inn and conference center in Connecticut. He said the business failed in less than two years because of all the red tape. In the editorial he apologized to business owners everywhere, saying he regretted writing laws whose impact he didn't understand. Well, I say it was too little too late.
We taxpayers are going to be hit with a massive property tax increase at the end of this year. Water bills have doubled or tripled. Public employee unions seeking raises have encountered very little opposition from the City Council. We still owe on the library building and several others. And one of the new schools we have yet to pay for wants $300,000 to put a clipper ship tile mosaic on the floor. Really?
We need people on the council who appreciate the value of other people's money, and we need them now.

All in all, Fuel Tiracas is a great game; it has addicting gameplay and for just 40p (UK price) it represents unbelievable value for money.
We like
- Excellent, addictive gameplay
- Remarkable value for money
We dislike
- Only 12 levels
See PSU's review on Metacritic & GameRankings
Fuel Tiracas is the second of Brighton-based Futurlab's PlayStation Mobile launch duo. Fuel Tiracas centres around power stations which need reactors to operate. There are 12 in total, 12 levels, which get progressively more difficult.
To progress through the game, you have to activate fuel cells by placing fuel in them. To do this, you have to tap the on-screen circles as they appear, you only have a certain time to hit them as they deplete as time goes on. When you do hit them they fill up the corresponding fuel cell which is dependent on the colour. There are two to six different coloured fuel cells in each level and each has a marked zone which you have to hit by filling the fuel cell by hitting the circles. Once the marked zone is hit, switch to the next fuel cell, if you don't you can overfuel the cell which doesn't give the reactor power so you can't complete the level.
Of course, it isn't that simple. As you are hitting the circles you have to keep an eye out for the contaminated fuel circles, which are marked by a skull emblem. Hitting these will deplete the fuel in the cell. Also, as you are juggling multiple fuel cells, watch out for the ones you have filled dropping out of the marked zone. If they do this then you will be unable to power the reactor and finish the level. Juggling numerous fuel cells is a challenge but very addictive since you have to be quick to hit the circles and manage the fuel cells. It's a simple formula but it works very well. To finish the level, you have to have all the fuel cells filled up to the marked zone simultaneously. This powers the reactor and when the power hits 100 you have finished the level. Fuel Tiracas also has leaderboards for the levels so you can see where your time stacks up against the world.
All in all, Fuel Tiracas is a great game; it has addicting gameplay and for just £0.40 (UK price) it represents unbelievable value for money. So much so, you'll feel like you're robbing Futurlab in broad daylight. PlayStation Mobile is off to a flyer.

Mercury Milan Hybrid A Fresh Take for the Market
Mercury launched its first hybrid passenger car with the 2010 Milan Hybrid. The Milan Hybrid has promised to be one of the most fuel-efficient midsize sedans available in the U.S. The new Milan Hybrid joins an updated version of the gas-only midsize sedan and features similar styling. It has a waterfall grille as well as a restyled hood, headlights and front bumper. Despite the numerous changes to the Milan's exterior, the relatively conservative design might get lost in the large crowd that is the midsize sedan segment. The Milan Hybrid is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor. A continuously variable automatic transmission sends power to the wheels.
This is a fairly conventional setup for a hybrid, but the Milan Hybrid's system differs from current competitors in a key way: While many hybrids are limited to electric-only operation to speeds around 25 mph, Mercury says the Milan Hybrid can travel on electric power alone up to 47 mph. Obviously, conditions must be favorable to allow for this type of operation, but it offers the potential for notable gas savings. The claimed range for the Milan Hybrid in city driving — around 700 miles — is equally impressive.
One of the Milan Hybrid's top competitors has been in the hybrid market for a long time, the Honda Civic Hybrid. The Civic uses gasoline-electric hybrid technology to reach fuel economy ratings of 40/45 mpg city/highway. The Civic Hybrid features a 1.3-liter four-cylinder engine teamed with an electric motor. While Mercury's legacy is at stake, one thing is for sure the Milan and Milan hybrid remain competitive in the market. Both the Civic Hybrid, found at Honda Dealerships, and the Milan Hybrid offer consumers stylish rides with great fuel efficiency.

West Brunswick AD retiring
Tue. January 08, 2013 at 11:12 p.m. | By Powell Latimer | StarNews Staff Writer
West Brunswick athletic director John Floyd has announced he'll retire, effective March 1. Floyd has worked in education for 26 years, and said he felt it was time to go.
"I'm going to enjoy myself," Floyd said.
His retirement comes at a pivotal time: The Trojans are playing their final season in the Waccamaw Conference before moving into a 3A/4A split conference with schools in New Hanover County in the 2013-2017 realignment. Floyd was a vocal proponent for the creation of that conference, but won't be around to help West Brunswick's transition.
Floyd said he didn't have any idea who the next athletic director would be, saying that's a decision for Brunswick County Schools.

Loose Cannon's Hall Of Fame:
Peter Purves
Peter Purves was born in New Longton, Lancashire, on 10 February 1939. After leaving school he took a four-year teacher-training course. In 1961, after only one year as a teacher, he turned to acting, initially with the Barrow-in-Furness Repertory Company and later with the Wimbledon Theatre Company. His first television role was in ZCars and more television work followed, including leads in an Armchair Theatre presentation called The Girl in the Picture (1964) and a series entitled The Villains (1965). Late in 1964 he auditioned for the part of a Menoptera in the Doctor Who story The Web Planet, but was turned down. However, the director, Richard Martin, later cast him as Morton Dill in The Chase, and this led to him playing Steven Taylor later on in the same story.
The character of Steven is probably one of the strongest companions ever to travel with the Doctor. Steven was extremely headstrong and would give as good as he got against especially when up against the Doctor. The success and popularity of this character is mainly due to the marvellous portrayal by Peter Purves. When Peter left Dr Who he encountered a period of bad luck, being out of work for many months. He attributed this to a souvenir that he took from the show - the Trilogic game of the Toymaker. Peter is convinced that the game retained some of the benign influence of the Toymaker.
After Doctor Who, he eventually became a regular presenter on the children's magazine programme Blue Peter. More presenting work followed, primarily on sports-based programmes, and he has also been managing director of a video production company. He is married to writer Gilly Fraser and has two children. For many years Peter did not have many encounters with Dr Who fandom. In fact his convention appearances were few and far between. However, recently he has been making more frequent public appearances to the delight of the fans.
Peter Purves was interviewed in DWM issues 220 and (with William Russell) 274.

Everest Pitchman Turns to Holy Hip Hop With New Song, "My Life (the Offering)"
PHOENIX, AZ, February 07, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Jahi Entertainment artist, Tunde (pronounced: TOON-day), is easily recognizable as the face and pitchman for the well-known Everest College, Everest Institute, Everest University and WyoTech commercials that have inundated TV airwaves for the last 6 years.
Catchphrases like "get off the couch" and "you're on the phone all day anyway" have made Tunde one of the most spoofed, parodied and satirized men on Youtube. He was even the subject of a comedic rant by Mike Epps during his popular stand-up special "Under Rated & Never Faded."
But now Tunde is turning to the world of hip hop, offering a soulful, spiritual song that defies today's cliche rap culture of basic 808 beats and materialistic subject matter.
Tunde has been recording since 1998, but has taken a hiatus in recent years from performing. However, he is no stranger in the local music scene in Phoenix, and has performed in front of thousands of hip hop fans, opening for acts like The Wu-Tang Clan, Gangstar, Hieroglyphics. Tunde was even featured on Soulfly's "Primitive" album on the cult favorite 'In Memory Of..." He toured locally with the band, performing at Ozzfest when Soulfly headlined the second stage.
"I haven't publicly done music for a long time but I've never really stopped working on it," says Tunde. "It's all just creative expression, whether film or music. At the end of the day it's all about what you, as an artist, are selling. I'm really just trying to express various aspects of myself through the music and remain true to who I am."
Tunde is hardly your typical rapper. His rhymes aren't audacious boasts of guns, drugs and strip clubs, but honest reflections of his life and lessons he's learned along the way.
His flow harnesses the unique style of creative, direct expression and witty charm that made his Everest commercials so popular. He brings it all to the music front with "My Life (the Offering)" and his debut album, "You Look Familiar."
"I'm not a drug dealer, I have never even shot a firearm," Tunde admits. "I've never blown 10 grand at a strip club or anything of that nature, but I have lived some life that I think people can relate to. That's why it was important for me to release 'My Life' as the launch song. It's a spiritual song that speaks of God and my everyday walk with Him and how I'm far from perfect, but I believe."
The theme for the release of the song is Matthew 20:16 because "My Life (the Offering)" is the last song on the album but will be the first single to be released on February 5th.
"The album is a secular album but faith is an aspect of my being," says Tunde. "I have a sexual aspect, but I also have a parental, nurturing aspect. I have a political aspect; I'm a smart-ass sometimes, sometimes I'm even mean-spirited. It's all there, good and bad."
"My Life (the Offering)" features vocals from fellow Jahi Entertainment artist Asha Rabouin and D. Scott Music from the Genrepublic Camp.
"I'm proud of the material and the fact that I was blessed to work with some of the most talented artists in the [Phoenix] Valley. Hopefully my blessing will, in turn, bless the consumer."
About the company: Jahi Entertainment LLC is a start-up entertainment company specializing in music and film production launched in 2012 out of Phoenix, Arizona.

Downtown projects combined for better pricing
Date: August 4, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
To receive discounted construction costs, the city of Sarasota will ask contractors to bid on two downtown projects at once.
One company will be asked to build the roundabout at Five Points, along with the bulb-outs at Main Street and Palm Avenue. The city hopes that by combining the two projects it will receive a lower price than if the two were built separately.
The city will hold a pre-bid meeting Aug. 19 at which contractors can ask about construction requirements, such as a completion deadline. The bids will then be due by Sept. 1. Construction is expected to take about four months.
The bulb-out project is intended to make the intersection of Main and Palm more attractive, with trees, raised planters and sidewalk bulb-outs to make the crosswalks shorter.

History of Serbia since 1918

|Part of a series on the

|By century
|Middle Ages
|Early modern
|Serbia 1804–1918
|Serbia since 1918
|Serbia portal
After the military victory over Austria-Hungary in the First World War, the Kingdom of Serbia was restored and was joined with other South Slavic lands formerly administered by the Austria-Hungary into the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (which was renamed to Yugoslavia in 1929). This new South Slavic kingdom was created on December 1, 1918 and de facto existed until the Axis invasion in 1941 (de jure until the proclamation of the republic in November 29, 1945).
From 1918 to 1941, Serbia did not exist as a political entity, since SCS Kingdom (Kingdom of Yugoslavia) was a centralist country divided into administrative provinces that were not created in accordance with ethnic or historical criteria. However, the country was ruled by Serb king and dominated by Serb political elite. This triggered the unsatisfactoriness among the Croats, whose politicians demanded federalization of the country. The Serb-Croat political compromise was achieved in 1939 when new province known as the Banovina of Croatia was created. Some Serb intellectuals also demanded that the rest of the Yugoslav provinces (excluding the Drava Banovina) are joined into the new Banovina of Serbia,[1] but this political project was never realized.
In 1941, after the Axis invasion and occupation of Yugoslavia, German occupational authorities created an occupied territory named Serbia[2][3] and installed Serbian puppet government there. Occupied Serbia included much of the territory of present-day Republic of Serbia, excluding some areas that were occupied and annexed by Independent State of Croatia, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Italy. The Banat region, which was a part of occupied Serbia, had a special autonomous status and was governed by its ethnic German minority. Besides the armed forces of the Serbian pro-Axis puppet regime, two anti-Axis resistance movements operated in the territory of Serbia: the royalist Chetniks and the communist Partisans. Besides the anti-Axis orientation, the two resistance movements also turned one against another, which resulted in a general armed civil war in Serbia. Temporarily, in autumn of 1941, the communist resistance movement created a short lived Republic of Užice[4] in south-western Serbia, but this entity was soon destroyed by the joint efforts of Axis troops and pro-Axis Serbian armed forces.
In 1944, the Soviet Red Army and Yugoslav Partisans expelled Axis troops from Serbia and the area was included into the restored Yugoslavia. Unlike the pre-war Yugoslavia, which had a centralist system of government, the post-war Yugoslavia was established as a federation of six equal republics. One of the republics was Serbia, which had two autonomous provinces: Vojvodina and Kosovo. According to the 1974 Yugoslav constitution, the autonomous provinces of Serbia gained extensive political rights and were in some areas presented in federal government separately from Serbia, although, they were still de jure subordinated to Serbia.
New Serbian constitution from 1990 greatly reduced autonomy of Kosovo and Vojvodina and strengthened the central government in Serbia. After the break up of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1991-1992, the Serbia and Montenegro formed the new federation of the two republics naming it the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Following the clashes between the Kosovo Liberation Army and Serbian and Yugoslav authorities, as well as the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, Kosovo became an UN protectorate. In 2003, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was transformed into the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro, and following the Montenegrin Independence Referendum from 2006, Serbia and Montenegro were transformed into two independent states. In 2008, local government of UN-administered Kosovo declared independence from Serbia and this was subsequently recognized by one number of other countries.

Safari Books Online is a digital library providing on-demand subscription access to thousands of learning resources.
As part of Android, Google has spent a lot of time thinking about optimizing designs for low-powered handheld devices. Handheld devices lag behind their desktop counterparts in memory and speed by eight to ten years. They also have limited power for computation. The performance requirements on handsets are severe as a result, requiring handset designers to optimize everything. If you look at the list of packages in Android, you'll see that they are fully featured and extensive.
These issues led Google to revisit the standard JVM implementation in many respects. The key figure in Google's implementation of this JVM is Dan Bornstein, who wrote the Dalvik VM—Dalvik is the name of a town in Iceland. Dalvik VM takes the generated Java class files and combines them into one or more Dalvik Executable (

SALEM — An auto technican pleaded guilty yesterday and was sentenced for exposing himself in a customer's car in June.
Mark Rice, 44, of Hooksett received a 90-day suspended jail sentence in 10th Circuit Court. Judge Kristin Spath also fined Rice $1,000, with $500 suspended for two years, according to prosecutor Jason Grosky.
Rice pleaded guilty as part of a plea agreement, Grosky said. He was only prosecuted on one of two indecent charges brought against him. He had been free on $500 cash bail.
Rice was arrested June 6 in the Marshall's parking lot at 265 S. Broadway, according to police. Police received an anonymous call about noon about a man exposing himself in a Black Hyundai Sonata.
The car was parked about six cars away from the front of the store, police said.
When Officer Robert Holland responded, he saw Rice touching his genitals inside the car. Holland knocked on the window, prompting Rice to zip up his pants.
As part of Rice's sentence, he is to have no contact with a witness in the case and must stay away from Marshall's. Grosky said. He must also continue to receive counseling.

Is 'Made In America' Making a Comeback?
The global economic climate might be ripe for a manufacturing renaissance in the United States.
The United States is enjoying a resurgence in manufacturing not seen since the 1970s, when the country shifted to a primarily service-based economy. Strong growth in machinery exports and auto sales are leading the rally in the chronically weak manufacturing sector, a trend President Obama said must continue in order to buoy the country's depressed job market and lackluster economic expansion.
The president has crafted an ambitious plan to double exports over the next five years to jump-start the economy and energize job growth. "We are in a tough fight to get past a crippling recession," Obama told Northern Virginia Community College students last week. "Manufacturing had weakened, the middle class was treading water. I don't think the answer is for us to turn back. That's how we're going to win this fight. That's how we're going to win the future."
[In Pictures: 6 Numbers Every Investor Should Follow.]
Recent data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) show durable-goods manufacturing—which includes products such as automobiles and heavy-construction machinery—led the economic recovery in seven of the eight regions BEA tracks, with significant gains in Indiana, Oregon, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Tennessee.
But is the recent uptick a short-term anomaly or evidence of a more vigorous manufacturing revival? Experts say a multitude of interrelated factors point to a longer-term "renaissance" in manufacturing, primarily due to increasing demand in rapidly growing emerging economies such as China and Brazil.
"I don't think it's a flash in the pan," says Chad Moutray, chief economist at the National Association of Manufacturers. "If you look at the industries that have been growing—machinery, for instance—they're taking advantage of opportunities overseas. They see Brazil, China, India as major areas [in which] to grow."
[See How to Invest When the Economy is Weak.]
Multinational manufacturing companies based in the United States, such as Boeing and Caterpillar, have already seen the benefits of an uptick in demand abroad. Primarily thanks to increased demand and higher prices for commodities, Caterpillar's exports surged to $13.4 billion in 2010, a 30 percent jump from the previous year. The 86-year-old company, which specializes in mining and construction equipment, also recorded its all-time best profits in the first quarter of 2011.
"If the price of copper is above a certain threshold, those mining companies that are in the copper business are more likely to invest in increasing capacity to mine more, [which] creates demand for our products," says Caterpillar spokesman Jim Dugan. While Dugan attributes part of those gains to a recovery from one of the deepest recessions in U.S. history, he says demand for Caterpillar's products remains elevated.
The rising middle class in developing nations also feeds into the relatively positive outlook for manufacturing. In addition to greater demand for the raw materials and components needed to produce consumer products such as microwaves and cell phones, mass urbanization in developing countries is benefiting companies like Caterpillar.
[See For Investors, 2 Bright Spots in Europe.]
"As those countries that are developing—China, Brazil—[are] seeing an improved standard of living, those countries are also investing to build more roads and to build more housing in urban areas," Dugan says. "A big part of it is the commodity demand, but as this mass urbanization takes place and these developing countries see a rising tide in the standard of living, there's also more investment in infrastructure and construction work that supports Caterpillar."
After decades of lagging the global manufacturing industry, the domestic sector will continue to bounce back, experts say, mainly because of global economic shifts that have increased the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing. Two decades of tough competition from export-based emerging economies such as China have forced domestic manufacturers to cut costs and improve productivity. While painful, these adaptations have allowed companies to cull more "profit per job," effectively easing the cost pressures facing domestic manufacturers.

'Whither Japan'
It is easy to misapprehend Japanese politics. It is hard—to put it mildly—to correctly apprehend them. I say misapprehend, rather than misunderstand, Japan's politics because the problem is not so much interpretation of information as of one of limited and biased sources of information.
Sad to say, if you don't have Japanese and aren't listening to and reading the Japanese media, you can simply give up thinking that any judgment you make is based on meaningfully representative information. But even if you do follow matters in Japanese, it is hard to avoid finding one's judgment biased by the fact that only Japan's big business community—whose organ is the Nihon Keizai Shimbun—seems to speak on any issue clearly and with one voice. The trap is allowing oneself to think that the Nikkei's advocacy—because clear and forceful—holds more sway in the political process than that of a host of other interest groups, or that Japan's political process is particularly responsive to big business.
I say this by way of apology and no doubt excuse for what I have suggested in the past is the "slam dunk" logic of Japan's entering the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations, or of meeting any ostensible deadlines for doing so, or of TTP being one of the highest priorities of the Noda government, and that accession to an agreement is critical to Japan's future.
During the past month, and for at least the next few weeks, the Noda government—and Prime Minister Noda personally—have been engaged in a raucous and exhausting debate with dissident members of its own ruling Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) as well as the opposition parties, led by the Liberal Democrats (LDP), over legislation to raise Japan's consumption tax from 5% to 10%. Noda has said many times that he is staking his political life on passage of the consumption tax rise, so vital does he believe it is to putting Japan back on a path to fiscal soundness and avoiding a Greece-like crisis.
Noda's policy stance on the consumption tax is exactly that of Japan's big business establishment, and the editorial pages of the Nihon Keizai Shimbun. What about TPP—along with the consumption tax hike, a cause celebre of the Nikkei? In fact, the trade agreement seems to have slipped completely off the agenda, at least for the time being. Why—if it is so critical—might this be the case?
In answering this question I am indebted to an exceptionally insightful analysis by Professor Aurelia George Mulgan of the University of New South Wales in Australia recently posted in the East Asian Forum (website: eastasiaforum.org). Apart from the obvious point that presently Noda has no spare political capital to invest in TPP, Professor Mulgan notes that "Japan's record on signing Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) is not promising. As a general rule, Japan prefers signing FTAs with non-agricultural exporting powers, rather than with powerhouses like Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S…. Japan has not signed trade agreements with its major trading partners or with developed countries (except for Switzerland in 2009); and it has preferred developing countries instead because it asks them to accept a lower trade liberalization rate with exceptions for some agricultural product."
Professor Mulgan elaborates on why TPP is stalled, and may be doomed, in Japan. I want to relate her many insights in a future post. Now I will focus on one more; she writes:
"PM Noda has argued that by joining the TPP Japan 'can absorb the Asia Pacific's growth power', but this argument is flawed because…China, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines, are not in it."
While TPP may be going nowhere, Professor Mulgan believes that Japan will "continue to push the Japan-China-South Korea FTA proposal, which was boosted by Noda's recent trip to Beijing." In fact, at the tripartite meeting in Beijing Noda suffered another humiliating snub as Hu Jintao refused to meet one-on-one with him. Speculation was briefly rife in the Japanese press as to why this happened. But the buzz quickly passed, as snubs from Beijing seem recently to be the rule rather than the exception.
As readers of this blog know, I believe that the China-centric Asian regional economic and trade integration is an overriding mega-trend shaping and redefining Japan's future.
Despite the Nikkei's advocacy, movement toward TPP has stalled. Very likely, where Japan's varied political interests are aligning is toward a Japan-China-Korea FTA.
Be careful what you wish for with China!
Noda is a big hit in the US, giving them just about everything they want (one can hardly blame Noda for the ongoing stalemate in Okinawa. That distinction belongs to the rather hegemonic US proposal.). So, it will be interesting to see if Noda can turn down the US on the TPP which, frankly, is not much of an FTA without Japan.
To complicate matters, if what you say is correct about Japan and China (which, of course if the natural fit), Noda is playing a dangerous game by getting into the middle of the currently quiet power struggle between China and the US. And because so much of the US strategy intended to "contain" China comes from the Japan/US alliance and, not incidentally, the TPP, one could see Noda being "Hatoyama'ed" by whichever US administration has to deal with the Japanese withdrawal from TPP consideration.
That said, the US automakers, especially Ford, have given Noda the perfect back door to escape the TPP by demanding that Japan essentially guarantee American auto sales in Japan despite US vehicles not meeting Japanese safety and emissions standards (interesting given that Japanese automakers have to meet different standards in the US – California, for example) and a few other issues.
So, despite what the good professor thinks, the politics of the situation are complex and Japan lacks clear control of what it can do. While you may be correct in claiming a "China-centric regional economic and trade integration is an overriding mega-trend shaping and redefining Japan's future," it likely will not be easy for Japan to overcome the influence of the US military, a situation that will always be a thorn in China's side when dealing with Japan in the same way that a China/Japan FTA will not please the US. It is doubtful that Asia is big enough for China and the US, one of which is bound to seek dominance. And because Japan is the weak sister in the whole thing, it is stuck in the middle of that drama.
Thanks for the reply.
Mystery, indeed. And, while the Japanese talk the good talk about moving closer to China economically, Noda just named a "US hand" as defense minister, ensuring closer Japan/US military cooperation. Morimoto is also supportive of Japan altering Article 9 of the Constitution and either joining NATO or, at least, provide mission support for NATO activities. This direction can not be pleasing to China.
As I said, the issues are very complex and Japan has managed to find itself in a non-winnable position. It's sad, actually.

Of course with the recipes and methods involved in winemaking, the use of fermentation lock to prevent yeasts and bacteria from reaching the wine, keeping the wine warm during the whole of the fermenting period, using the appropriate wine yeast, invert sugar and nutrient you will obtain wines with a strength of flavor and bouquet of which they will be justly proud.
However, bear in mind that clarifying wines is also a big part of the success. Yet in terms of clarifying wines there is no need to use isinglass or any other aids. These wines clear themselves practically before fermentation has ceased. Indeed, it is usual to have a brilliantly clear wine a month before fermentation has ceased. If one or two lots of wine appear to be slow to clear, you must not worry, a week or two after fermentation has finally ceased clarifying will take place very quickly.
When all fermentation has ceased, siphon the clear wine. If not yet crystal clear, siphon it into another jar leaving the deposit behind. This is sometimes called racking the wine. Then, when the wine is finally crystal clear, it should be put into bottles. This siphoning helps to get the slight cloudiness to settle out quickly. END AKISMET -->

Have ever had a really bad day at work and then gone home and taken out your frustration on family and friends? Then you have experienced the ego defense mechanism of displacement. Displacement involves taking out our frustrations, feelings, and impulses on people or objects that are less threatening. Displaced aggression is a common example of this defense mechanism. Rather than express our anger in ways that could lead to negative consequences (like arguing with our boss), we instead express our anger towards a person or object that poses no threat (such as our spouse, children, or pets).

Leaked Windows Phone Roadmap Shows Future Strategy from Microsoft0
WMPoweruser has got their hands on the proposed roadmap of Windows Phone and it looks pretty interesting. The roadmap image starts with the original Windows Phone GA (General Availability) and goes through 2012 with the release of the codenamed product Apollo.
Mid 2012 we can expect Tango which seems to be focusing on bringing Windows Phone to the masses with lower cost products from manufactures. This is a good move in my book. I've talked to a lot of friends and family about Windows Phone and they like it…. but can't get past the $199 for a new phone. If they can get the price point down to $49.99 or the like (as T-Mobile has done this holiday season with the HTC Radar and Lumia 710) then they will get it into the hands of the masses.
The next big update is slated for late next year and is codenamed Apollo. This update appears to be really driving for mass adoption and to increase the overall sales volume of the platform and to point out competitive differentiators. They also appear to be focusing on more advanced hardware (perhaps dual core processors?) and the needs of businesses (perhaps better encryption support?).
As with any roadmap it is subject to change and shifting but the information obtained by WMPowerUser seems to fit with other rumors that have been floating about over the past few weeks. Taken at face value, it is clear that Microsoft plans to make a significant push on Windows Phone next year. Couple that with the push Nokia is having on the platform with their Lumia lineup and that 6.2% marketshare by the end of next year isn't a pipe dream. It could really happen.

Klout Score App Coming to The Marketplace Next Week for Windows Phone0
Klout, the influence measuring site and service, has quickly become a key social networking locale for people from virtually every walk of life. Klout measures how much you impact a particular topic or group of people through various social networking channels such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Tumblr and many others. If you haven't check it out, you should at http://www.klout.com
Developer Julien Dollon has been working on a Klout app, aptly named Klout Score, for Windows Phone and it is expected to drop into the Marketplace next week. If it holds up, it would be the first Klout app for Windows Phone and only the 2nd that I know of (there is one for Android but none for iOS). According to Julien's site, the app will give you all the information about your Klout score that you get from the site itself. This includes your topics, those you influence and those who influence you and details on your Klout score.
Look for the app to hit the Marketplace next week.
[Update] – Richard Hay commented that there are some Klout related apps in the Marketplace. I missed those this morning in the original post. Thanks Richard for setting me straight!
Digitimes Expects Windows Phone to Take 6.2% of The Market in 20120
Digitimes has posted what they expect for the smartphone market in 2012 and they see Windows Phone taking a sizably bigger chunk of the market than it did in 2011.
While the market is still dominated by Android-based devices, Windows Phone is expected to take 6.2% of the smartphone market in the coming year. Given that Windows Phone currently sits at about 1.5% of the market, that is a monumental leap forward – 242% increase to be exact. Is it possible? Absolutely.
2012 is going to the year that sees Nokia bring their full Windows Phone line to market. Remember that Nokia is still the #1 selling brand of phone in the world. They know how to sell devices and it is evident in their marketing plans for the Lumia 710 and 800 that they mean business with their new Windows Phones. In January we should see the first Nokia Windows Phones here in the US which I personally expect to see a huge amount of marketing around it both from Nokia themselves and the carriers.
With the push that Nokia is making it is well within the possibility that Windows Phone could end 2012 with over 6% marketshare.
Read the full post over at Digitimes then tell me what you think? Do you think 6.2% for 2012 is possible? Ludicrous? Selling it short? Comment here or send me a Tweet.
Paul Thurott Discusses How Microsoft Can Fix Windows Phone in 20120
One of the most 'in tune" people in my opinion with Microsoft, Windows and Windows Phone is Paul Thurrott. If you aren't familiar with who he is, check out his site, Super Site Windows or you can check him out with Mary-Jo Foley and Leo Laporte on Windows Weekly on TWiT.
Last year on his site Paul posted an article on what Microsoft needed to do to get Windows Phone right in 2011. If you look at the list, Microsoft pretty much got it all done. Now he has posted an article on what Microsoft needs to do in 2012 to fix Windows Phone and really establish it in the market.
He has a good list of things that need to be addressed by Microsoft in 2012 for the platform to be successful and I generally agree with most of them. Give the article a read and see what you think. Do you agree? What do you see as Windows Phone's biggest stumbling block to success in 2012?
New Windows Phone for Christmas? Check Out The How To's for Help0
For many of you, today is the first day since the Christmas holiday this weekend to get back online and do some post holiday shopping or searching for information on your latest gadget. If you are the proud owner of a Windows Phone, congratulations and welcome to the community!
If you are moving from a feature phone or another smartphone (Android or iPhone), then this Windows Phone experience will be somewhat of a left turn for you. It's different. A lot different. You've probably already figured that out but just in case the whole Live Tile start screen thing didn't tell you… this is a lot different!
Over the course of the past year I've put together a series of How To's for Windows Phone. Some of these are basic while others are more advanced but they are all designed to help you get a handle on the new experience that is Windows Phone. The How To's are generally Windows Phone focused and not device specific. That said, there are some specific How To's for HTC and Samsung phones but only one or two.
To get to all of the How To's here on ClintonFitch.com, just navigate to the How To section in the left-hand side bar. And of course you can always post a question on Twitter or here on the site.

This took place a long time ago. I'd say I was 11 or 12, so the year was 1971 or 1972 in June. It happened at my friend Wendy's house in Morristown, New Jersey.
My friend had me over for a sleepover. As children, I remember we were always being told things like, "Never go in a graveyard at sunset because that's when the spirits come out." Well, my friend's house is right by a graveyard. We could even see it from her bedroom window that is in the back of her house.
The very next day, we made plans to go in the graveyard at sunset. We invited three other friends to come, too. We entered the graveyard with the idea to find out what the tower in the center of the graveyard was about.
We were about half way to the center of the graveyard. It was getting dark, but still twilight out. All of a sudden, there was a scream that sounded like a woman's scream. I turned around to ask my friends if they heard it -- and they were running for the graveyard gate. I yelled, "Wait for me!"
When I reached the gate, everyone was gone except Wendy. She was outside the gate, holding onto the gate and looking into at the graveyard. I went up to my friend, who was still panting from her run, as was I. When we caught our breath, she said, "Do you see what I see?"
I said, "You mean the dark, shadowy figures moving in and out between the gravestones?"
I said, "Yea, I see them."
Then she said, "Don't ever tell any grown up. They would never believe us."

Original recipe yields 10 servings
- Rinse squash. With a large, heavy knife, cut in half lengthwise, using a mallet or hammer gently, if necessary, to force knife through squash. Scoop out and discard seeds. Brush cut surfaces with olive oil. Set squash cut side down in a 10- by 15-inch baking pan.
- Bake in a 375 degree regular or convection oven until squash is soft when pressed, 45 to 60 minutes. Reserve pan juices. Scoop flesh from peels (you should have about 5 cups) and discard peels.
- Meanwhile, trim and discard root ends and tough dark green tops from leeks. Cut leeks in half lengthwise and rinse thoroughly under cold running water, flipping layers to release grit. Chop leeks.
- In a 5- to 6-quart pan over medium-high heat, stir leeks, garlic, and ginger in butter until leeks begin to brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Add coriander, squash, reserved pan juices, and 5 cups broth. With a potato masher, mash squash. (Soup will be chunky; for a smoother texture, pour it into a large bowl, then puree in a blender, a portion at a time, and return to pan.) Thin with 1 to 4 more cups broth, if desired.
- Cover and heat soup until steaming. Add salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a teaspoon or two of chili puree (or a sprinkling of chili powder).
- Chili Puree: Rinse chilies. Break off and discard stems and shake out as many seeds as you can. With scissors, cut chilies into 1/2-inch pieces and drop into a 1- to 2-quart pan. Add water, shallots, and ground cinnamon. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until chilies are soft, 5 to 10 minutes. In a blender, whirl mixture until smooth. Press puree through a strainer set over a bowl. Stir in salt and pepper to taste. Makes 3/4 to 1 cup

I tried this recipe along with the entire Thanksgiving menu and loved it. I didn't even test out the recipe before I served it to my guests.
My mom just brought me back a whole bunch of dried chiles from Santa Fe and I wanted to use them....well, I don't know if the kind I had were just too pungent or what because the chili puree turned out so spicy I could barely eat my soup! I thought the base recipe with the squash, coriander, and leeks was scrumptious, though. I was just sorry I put the chili puree in at all because it overwhelmed the delicate flavors of the soup itself. I will make this soup again, but without the chili puree next time! Four stars for the soup itself, though.
Great Recipe (go Sunset!) I used half butternut squash and half pumpkin. The chili puree is delicious.

A loss at every levelBy
Brandon Laird is your Double-A Eastern League Player of the Month for May thanks to his .339-.374-.591 batting line with nine doubles, six homers, and a cycle. Hard to believe that Laird is just the second player from the Trenton franchise to win the Player of the Month away since they started handing it out in 1997. The other guy was some scrappy little infielder named David Eckstein, who won it when Trenton was Boston's Double-A affiliate in 1999.
Corban Joseph got some love in the Team Photo section of this week's Prospect Hot Sheet.
Triple-A Scranton (3-2 loss to Gwinnett)

Wilkins Arias: 1 IP, 2 H, zeroes, 2-0 GB/FB
Josh Schmidt: 1 IP, zeroes, 2 K, 0-1 GB/FB
High-A Tampa had both games of it's doubleheader rained out. They're going to make up the first game at some point in the future, but the second game was canceled all together. The Yanks were actually leading 6-5 in the 3rd inning when it started raining, but all those stats get washed away. Here's the box score if you want to see who did what in that time.
Low-A Charleston (5-3 loss to Hickory)
Slade Heathcott: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 BB – he's had a hit in every game since being promoted
J.R. Murphy: 2 for 5, 1 K

Warren got killed in that Tampa game, at least the stats don't count.
Slade's double was to LF. That's nice.
Too late to do Joba+Jesus for Halladay/
That's a good thing.
Romulo is a poor mans AJ.
Very poor.
Dirt poor even.
'Cuz I know you're all DYING to know, Melvin Croussett 1 IP 2 BB 1 K
Eh, still control issues.
You see issues, I see mercy.
I suppose the walks were so that he doesn't scare people?
The walks were because the league is enforcing a 3-inch by 3-inch strike zone whenever Melvin pitches. It used to be 6-inch by 6-inch (Source: http://bit.ly/ahXW7i), but he was just too good, so they changed it again.
I think he's smart enough to know that if he doesn't walk people with a strike zone that small, people will think he's cheating. Just another brilliant idea from Melvin.
What an awful day for the Yankees organization.
At least Heathcott and Murphy played well. I hope they can keep it up
I would say two of your most promising young prospects, your top two picks from the last draft, a couple of 19 year olds in full season ball, having good days isn't an awful day for the organization… Jesus had a decent day: .500 OBP and 33% caught stealing compared to 22% for the season… Jose Ramirez having a better day would have made it a pretty good day IMO…
Ramirez and/or Romine having a better day, I guess. And for Ramirez it wasn't like he got beat up, he killed himself with control.
No. 12 ARODYS VIZCAINO, RHP BRAVES
Arodys Vizcaino Team: low Class A Rome (South Atlantic)
Age: 20
Why He's Here: 2-0, 0.00, 13 IP, 7 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 10 SO
The Scoop: Vizcaino has dominated the Sally League as a 20-year-old, and he's doing it with elite stuff, including a mid- to high-90s fastball and a tight breaking ball. Perhaps most impressive: He hasn't walked a batter in 38 innings.

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. trade deficit narrowed in February, driven by a drop in crude oil imports and an increase in American goods and services exported abroad, the Commerce Department said Friday.
With exports rising more than imports, the seasonally adjusted trade deficit was $43 billion in February, down from a revised $44.5 billion the previous month.
The 3.4 percent decline in the trade deficit was below analyst expectations that the deficit would rise slightly to $44.6 billion.
The report was a bit of good economic news among recent disappointing reports. Increased exports could provide a boost to the economy, but the trade data is older than recent figures that indicated a slowdown in growth last month.
The deficit rose sharply in January because of increased imports of crude oil and other petroleum-related products. The pendulum swung back in February when crude oil imports dropped to their lowest level since 1996 as prices increased.
The U.S. imported about 205 million barrels of crude oil, down nearly 56 million barrels from January.
Overall, the U.S. exported $186 billion in goods and services and imported $229 billion. Imports rose only $100 million in February, while exports jumped $1.6 billion.
The nation exported more industrial supplies and materials as well as more automobiles, parts and engines. Exports of capital goods, consumer goods and foods, feeds and beverages all dropped in February.

Special to The Free Press
MANKATO — Last season, the Mankato Loyola baseball team went 16-6, finished a half game from tying for the Gopher Conference championship and earned a top seed in the Section 2A playoffs. If the Crusaders want to reach and surpass those accomplishments this year, their hitting will be counted on to take this team where it wants to go.
"Hitting is definitely one of our strengths," said junior catcher Shane Sellner. "We're definitely going to score a lot of runs."
Sellner, a two-time All-Gopher Conference player, leads a strong contingent of returnees to the lineup including senior infielder/pitcher Evan Ellingworth, and fellow seniors Blake Matuska, Andrew Sweere, and Kyle Reynolds.
Pitching is Loyola's biggest question mark. Ellingworth brings the most experience on the mound as the Crusaders look to fill the shoes left by the departure of all-state hurler Zach Mullin.
"Evan has had a lot of experience so we know he's going to be out there," said head coach John Landkamer. "Mark Korteum, a junior, will probably do some throwing for us and we have some other seniors, Sweere and Reynolds. We'll look at some sophomores, too, so it's going to be pitching by committee to start out with."
The "pitching by committee" rotation will have a new conference to compete in. The Crusaders are going from the Gopher to the Valley Conference.
Instead of battling New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva, Waterville-Elysian-Morristown or United South Central for a conference championship, Loyola will be taking on the likes of Maple River, Martin Luther/Granada-Huntley-East Chain, Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial and Nicollet.
"We haven't played Maple River before so it will be fun to play them," said Landkamer. "Martin County West is another team we've never played before."
One of those teams Loyola will not be playing in its new conference is United South Central, a team that ended the Crusaders' 2012 season earlier than anticipated in the second round of the Section 2A playoffs.
"Thinking about that loss helps to make us work that much harder," said Ellingworth. "Every time you think you're tired or every time you think 'I don't want to this,' we have to work that extra little bit just so that doesn't happen again this year."
The season is to begin April 9 at new conference foe Alden-Conger. Loyola's home opener is April 11 against Nicollet at Franklin Rogers Park.

Project Milwaukee
Why are so many Wisconsinites behind bars? And, what are the costs?
WUWM & MPTV special series runs for six months - starting November 11, 2013.
Springing from conversations with concerned community members, WUWM journalists developed Project Milwaukee -- in-depth reporting on vital issues in the region. Each Project Milwaukee consists of WUWM News reporters and Lake Effect producers teaming up to create a series of interviews and reports on a specific topic culminating in a public forum or live broadcast.
WUWM tackles subjects of importance to southeastern Wisconsin by focusing on issues that warrant extensive coverage. The topics chosen are based on concerns we've heard from residents and community leaders.
WUWM hopes that our coverage helps to further the understanding of broad, significant subjects, and encourages additional debate in the community.

Just checkin to see what everyone thinks of the show Rescue me on FX, The new season starts may 30th, I wish it went longer than what it does. They are playing a ton of reruns so its cool
I watched it about a month ago when I couldn't sleep and was up ALL night. I caught like 5 episodes back to back. Not too bad.
I like it. I have seen every episode to date :thumb:
It is one of my most favorite shows on television. I never miss an episode.
"Rescue Me" rocks - I can't wait for the next season.
The only show on TV that I liked better was NYPD Blue - I've seen every episode of that at LEAST 4 or 5 times, and Rescue Me at least 2 or 3 times :thumb:
I hope all the characters come back, except maybe for his dumbshit wife - He needs to marry the funny-sounding female fireman so they can make little funny-sounding fire kids :D
I wasn't into it all that much. I liked 3rd. watch better.
3rd Watch was also on my DVR record schedule :thumb:Quote:

I pretty much watch everyting on FX except Black/White, which was horrible. Everything else kicks ass.
Rescue Me, The Shield, Third Watch, NYPD Blue, the only things I watched on Television. Now it is down to Rescue Me and The Shield.
Tonight's premier was fantastic. I need to go through and watch the first two seasons on DVD, as I only catch the show maybe 2/3 of the time.
They showed a teaser for The Shield. Holy shit...no show, not even Rescue Me, gets me going like that one. I cannot WAIT for season 6!!!!
I love rescue me but I have to agree the shield commercial is what I got excited about when I was watching the premier. I love FX, it's the greatest network around without a doubt. The only problem is that it is so long between seasons I forget what happened at the end of the last season. 121 might I suggest a digital video recorder. Since I got mine I haven't missed a thing.:thumb:
I saw Rescue Me twice last night!
I still can't figure out whether or not the girl died at the end though, or he was seeing ghosts again... Don't tell me, others probably haven't seen it yet
Was wondering the same thing. I think she lives but who knows.
I think it was a dream, maybe will send him into more of a drunk rage.
His ex wife is a complete A$$ hole. I mean he didnt mean for lil conner to get run over and he did TAKE care of it.
YES, The Shield is coming back BUT the last season and its only 10 episodes long
I'm going to quote President Bush, so I can say it and not get into trouble - She's a "MAJOR LEAGUE ASSHOLE", and has been from day one.Quote:
Originally Posted by E-man

I think his ratings would go up if he said more stuff like that about people's wifes, especially Clinton's :D
But back to the show, yes she's a complete A$$ hole.
This season's opener was EXCELLENT!
When Denis Leary was asked what he was going to do with the money from the non-smoking pot, he replied: "Buy some Cigarettes..."
I thought I'd near soil myself.
Rescue Me is pretty entertaining, and tends to deal more with personal issues then work issues...a refreshing change from the mindless Generation X shows like "Seinfeld" and "Freinds."
"Police Story" (in the 1970's) and "Hill Street Blues" (In the 1980's) were of the same mindset.
His brother deserved that ass kickin' and I cant wait to see where that story line goes.
I have never heard of Rescue Me. I will look for it and set my TIVO.
It's on the FX channel... They usually repeat it at various times during the week, but if you set it up on TiVo, watch out for schedule changes.
Rescue Me is a great show! It makes me glad that I'm a Cop and not a fire eater! They have WAY TOO MUCH TIME on their hands and discuss their genitals WAY TOO MUCH! It really show guys being guys, not the P.C. crap on most shows.

The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Adam Wainwright carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning and was one out from the St. Louis Cardinals' second straight one-hitter over the suddenly punchless Colorado Rockies in a 3-0 victory Saturday.
The Rockies had been hitless in 49 consecutive at-bats before Nolan Arenado lined a clean hit to center field with one out in the eighth. Eric Young led off Friday night's game with a broken-bat single off rookie Shelby Miller then failed to put a runner on until Todd Helton walked with one out in the fifth inning a day later.
The 49 at-bats is the longest hitless stretch since Sept. 25-27, 1981, when the Los Angeles Dodgers went 50 at-bats without a knock, according to STATS.
Wainwright doffed his cap in appreciation during a prolonged standing ovation from a sellout crowd of 43,050, then quickly retired the next two hitters.
Wainwright (5-2) gave up a two-out single to Dexter Fowler and matched his career best with a two-hitter.
Wainwright struck out seven for his second shutout of the season and sixth of his career. The Rockies have been shut out for 26 consecutive innings since Carlos Gonzalez hit a first-inning sacrifice fly against the Yankees on Thursday, and have had just one runner in scoring position the first two games of the series.
The Rockies entered Saturday as the highest-scoring team in the National League.
Allen Craig had three hits and a sacrifice fly and Yadier Molina had two hits and an RBI for the Cardinals, who have won nine of 10 and are a major league-best 23-12.
Wainwright has won five of his last six starts, recapturing his form as the staff ace in his second season coming off reconstructive elbow surgery. He has thrown a pair of two-hitters, the last on Aug. 6, 2010 at Florida.
Wainwright bounced back from his lone poor outing when he gave up five runs in 5 1-3 innings at Milwaukee his last time out. He's 5-1 against the Rockies.
Wainwright and Miller retired 40 consecutive batters with 18 strikeouts before Helton walked. He was stranded when Arenado fouled out and Reid Brignac grounded out.
All things appeared headed toward the no-hitter after Matt Carpenter made a sliding stab of a grounder about 10 feet onto the outfield grass behind second base for the first out in the eighth. Wainright smiled broadly at the play. Arenado, though, then singled.
The Cardinals loaded the bases with one out in the second and fourth, both times with the eighth and ninth-place hitter coming up. Both times, Jhoulys Chacin (3-2) escaped by striking out Pete Kozma and Wainwright.
