Observer - Unregistered October 09, 2012 3:37 PM Why would anyone want to take the most exciting, entertaining motorcycle race series in the world and start jacking with it? If it isn't broken, don't fix it. If they feel the red flag stoppages are that detrimental to the racing, just allow the teams to have a dry bike and a wet bike. The pit stops in the Daytona 200 only serve to break up some close racing and don't benefit the show at all. 3 agree 1 disagree
couch racer's should stay on the couch - Unregistered October 09, 2012 3:41 PM had a quick glance on the ever reliable google.... 12 seconds is what i can see being the fastest recorded rear wheel change so say 20 for the front thats a total of 20 seconds provinding you have one at the front and one at the rear... plus the time you waddle in and out of the pits....... pure stupidity. 2 bikes. 1 wet 1 dry. hope on hope off. 1 agree 0 disagree
Gambalunga - Unregistered October 09, 2012 3:45 PM I think the riders should have two bikes to use during practice and qualifying (and as many engines as they want - they test hundreds during the winter anyway). I just do not think two different machines should be used during a race. On principle. Start a race on a bike. Finish on it. Unless Dorna contrives some way to make pitstops essential (surely even that dolt Ezpeleta isn't that stupid) they will only come into play in worsening or improving weather conditions. If that is the case, it will be the same for everyone. Yes, set up changes will be ball park and riders will have to proceed with care. Maybe manufacturers will work to make suspension adjustment and wheel changes easier. That said, I don't mind red flagged races too much, and, obviously, not at all if someone's hurt, as long as my Sky+ keeps recording long enough to capture all the re-run. I never watch racing 'live' because I gave up watching adverts ten years' ago. No hassle to wait an hour or two. No hassle to fast for 0 agree 2 disagree
couch racer's should stay on the couch - Unregistered October 09, 2012 3:48 PM further more if this was to be say along the lines of cost reduction... for this to work effectively. you would need... a pit area with the neccasary tools to rapidly change the tyres. 4 spaner monkeys (2 to change 2 to assist.) an extra set of wheels set aside for wets (most factory teams have this) lets see is that everything... ye.. ohh yeah you'd need to change both front and rear wheel mounts to the endurance quick change ones... pretty cost effective dont you think... or if this were to reduce the time for broadcasting rights... right lets see 40+ seconds to change tires. 1 1/2hrs (red flag) to recover the rider because he feel on his head when the bike wasnt set up properly and pushed a little... yepp this is definitely a good idea. cost effective and cuts the hassle of a red fla.... 2 agree 1 disagree
Otto - Unregistered October 09, 2012 4:23 PM Most of you boys have obviously never watched endurance racing.They have quick release wheel designs so that front & back can be changed pretty briskly.If MotoGP was to go the same route, they would have to ditch the carbon brakes and go back to steel (which would be a good thing anyway). 2 agree 1 disagree
Nick636 October 09, 2012 4:43 PM @ OttoNo, many of us have mentioned the quick release systems... But they work in endurance because in endurance racing you have so much more time to make up the lost time. @ couch racer's should stay on the couchYou hit the nail on the head mate.The big issue we have is safety. And as another poster said, we've lost too many riders in this already dangerous sport. Now, you wanna send them racing on bikes that aren't properly set up for the conditions???@ GambalungaSo you want them to change tyres and setting (as best they can, with no guarantee that setting is ANYWHERE NEAR SAFE) and then they must just waddle around for the rest of the race? THAT'S NOT RACING! THAT's A PROCESSION LINE.BAD BAD BAD IDEA!!! Reply Report abuse 2 agree 0 disagree
Md Zane - Unregistered October 09, 2012 5:22 PM Build a pub at the end of the pit straight,all riders pull in for a pint and a fag, try and pull a local then go and do some wheelies outside.OR THEY COULD JUST LEAVE WHAT AIN'T BROKE. 4 agree 0 disagree
Wsbkisthereal - Unregistered October 09, 2012 5:59 PM It would take more time to change tyres etc than bike. And if sm screw is not tightnd proprly or smthn goes kaput due to the haste, thr riser is risked! 3 agree 0 disagree
Gary - Unregistered October 09, 2012 6:10 PM F1 style wheel changes?From Mclarens problems this year to mansell loosing a championship years ago due to a faulty wheel nut there have been a list of occasions when pitstops have either ruined races or caused unnecessary accidents. I would stick with the red flag and all the riders walking away after the race. 2 agree 0 disagree
Gambalunga - Unregistered October 09, 2012 6:34 PM Ok. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Does anyone know what the riders think? If pitstops can't be made safe then better a red flag and restart than hopping on another bike mid race in order to keep to live TV schedules, as far as I'm concerned. As for F1, as I said at the very beginning, it's off my radar. So far off I haven't watched a race since the 80s. All I know is they seem to have to keep tinkering with it to make it interesting to the great masses. Ezpeleta seems to think he has to do the same. Oh how I despise him for ruining our sport. 1 agree 0 disagree

- Tuesday's news of Sears closing its flagship downtown Chicago store comes on the heels of closings announced by Macy's and J.C. Penney, and is followed by today's word of job cuts at Target HQ.
- These are just the beginning (continuation really) of a wave of similar actions likely to cause an average shrinkage in overall retail square footage of between one-third and one-half over the next 5-10 years, says Excess Space Retail Services' Michael Burden.
- "Stores are making a long-term bet on technology," says Belus Capital Advisors analyst Brian Sozzi. "It simply doesn't make strategic sense to enter a new 15-year lease as consumers are likely to continue curtailing physical visits to the mall."
- Keep an aye on the shopping center vacancy rate. It rose 550 basis points to 11% in the Great Recession, but has since recovered to just 8.9%. Will it make a higher high in the next downturn?
- Within the closings is another trend - indoor malls are faring worse than outlet centers, outdoor malls, or stand-alone stores. Without a major reinvention, says Rick Caruso of Caruso Affiliated, traditional malls will go extinct. He's unaware of an indoor mall being build since 2006. "Any time you stop building a product, that's usually the best indication that the customer doesn't want it anymore."

- "We expect the transaction will be a net positive from an NAV perspective,
" say Janney's Mike Gorman and Tim Peron of Simon Property's (SPG +2%) plan to spin off its strip centers and smaller enclosed malls. With SPG trading at 15.4x FFO per share, the two see room for multiple expansion to the 16.3x high-quality mall peers are trading at. The duo reiterate their Buy rating. - Post-spin, U.S. malls will contribute 52.9% to NOI vs. 54% today, Premium outlets 28.1% vs. 25.4% today, and International 9.2% vs. 8.3% today. Strip centers will go to zero from 3.3% today.

Friday, Dec 132013, 7:17 AM
- SpinCo will be an independent, publicly traded REIT initially with interest in 54 strip centers and 44 smaller enclosed malls (each generating NOI of about $10M or less). SpinCo's initial year NOI is estimated to be more than $400M and initial year FFO is estimated at $300M, or $0.80 per share.
- The spinoff will take the form of a tax-free distribution to shareholders who will see a boosted dividend - Simon Property's current $4.80 annualized payout will be maintained, and SpinCo's initial year dividend is estimated to be at least $0.50 per share.
- The distribution is expected to take place in 2014 Q2.

- Four major mall owners have agreed to a deal with start-up Deliv to provide same-day delivery to consumers at the operators' shopping centers.
- Macerich (MAC), Westfield and Simon Property Group (SPG) are due to unveil the partnership today following a pilot at several General Growth Properties (GGP) malls.
- The companies will initially offer same-day delivery at nine malls in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and San Jose, after which they intend to expand the service to more properties next year.
- "Will the average spend go up if customers don't have to carry around the bags? We think so," said General Growth's Scott Morey. However, the malls don't expect to make money from the service, said Simon's Mikael Thygesen.

- Barron's top 10 stock picks for 2014 shows an affinity for low P/E ratios, with 6 of the group sporting multiples of 10 or lower. The 2013 picks - which are up 35.2% on average, 900 bps ahead of the S&P 500 - had five names with single-digit P/Es. This year's list:
- A depressed play on a depressed commodity, don't be surprised if Barrick Gold (ABX) gets the attention of an activist investor next year.
- Up just 11% YTD, Canadian Natural Resources' (CNQ) free cash flow is set to quintuple to $5B in 2018 once the Horizon oil-sands facility expansion is completed.
- A rising world population needs food. At less than 10x earnings, Deere (DE) is the kind of company Warren Buffett might like to buy if it became available. "Stranger things have happened," writes Andrew Bary.
- Even after gaining 55% YTD, MetLife (MET) sells for less than 10x 2014 EPS and just above book value, but bigger gains are ahead once the company is given regulatory permission to buy back stock and boost its dividend. Met's also a good hedge against rising rates, as life insurers will benefit by having higher yields to invest in.
- The rest: Citigroup (C), GM, Intel (INTC), Nestle (NSRGY, NSRGF), Simon Property (SPG), U.S. Airways (LCC).

- Wells Fargo downgrades Weingarten Realty (WRI) to Market Perform from Outperform, lowering its price target to $27-29 from $28-$30.
- "Downgrading shares of WRI from Outperform to Market Perform based upon our outlook for slower growth going forward and a less attractive relative valuation due in part to YTD outperformance."
- "Among the shopping center REITs, we believe companies with premium core earnings growth supplemented by a visible (re)development pipeline are best positioned to deliver premium total returns in the intermediate term. We do not believe WRI epitomizes this thesis at this time. WRI's FFO and NAV/share growth could lag the high-quality peers as we look out to 2015; namely, our Outperform-rated retail stocks, Simon Property (SPG), Regency Centers (REG), and Federal Realty Investment (FRT), all of which have more active (re)development pipelines that should add to organic growth. We favor a measured (re)development strategy over an acquisition strategy for value creation for companies with flexible, low leverage balance sheets. Should WRI embark on new development projects, it could take some time before they are NAV accretive."
- WRI closed at $29.25 yesterday, with a 52-week range of $26.41-$35.91.

- The outlet shopping mall business is good as FFO of $802.8M is up 11.5% from a year ago, up 11.% on a diluted per share basis.

- The quarterly dividend is boost 9.1% to $1.20 per share, bringing the annualized yield to 3%.
- Three new premium outlets opened in August (one in the U.S., one in Canada, one in Korea), and four are under construction, with 3 expected to open next year and one in 2015.
- FY13 FFO per share guidance is hiked a dime to $8.72-$8.78.
- Conference call at 9 ET.

My troll detector is acting up. I wonder why?
Yes. Pokémon should change its base formula the same way Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Star Fox and Fire Emblem have changed theirs.
Anyone that keeps up with Nintendo knows this is the way their series work. There might be overhauls (Ocarina of Time, Metroid Prime), but the basics of the gameplay are the exact same they've always been. Their core as it is remains the same.
I remember Star Fox Adventures, one major change from the very genre said series had been following up to then. People didn't like the lack of airship combat. Same thing would happen if Pokémon decided to move from its core, even though people will always complain anyway, because either they changed it, or because it's the same. :/
Hell, very few series, not just Nintendo's, change their core gameplay constantly. Final Fantasy comes to mind, and the reception is mixed at best. As far as I go, I prefer series that keep the same core, but shake things enough to make every game feel new. It's true the 4th Generation didn't shake things up as much as the 2nd or 3rd Generation, but it's not without any merits. The Physical/Special Attack split was an amazing change that has greatly helped so many Pokémon, and the plot in Diamond/Pearl and Platinum is by far the best one yet when it comes down to the characterization. Likewise, there's certain shake-ups I disliked, such as Super Contests and Poffins, but that ultimately comes down to personal preference. As does this thread.
While I see where you're coming from and do agree to an extent, what could GF possibly do to change things up? While on one hand changing things would be interesting, it's wisest for them not to fix what isn't broken. Chances are, it'll just backfire and blow up in their faces.
And I like the current formula. The changes done in each game are enough to keep the game fresh enough to me.
[avatar: pixiv]
Boy,this argument is always so hilarious.
I dont want a non-linear pokemon game,I want a straigh up game,with strategic turn based battles,strong focus on team customization and simple wi-fi.Not a WoW game with mons.If Nintendo created a non-linear Pokemon game, with live battles, a strong focus on character customization, and real-time multiplayer, you're telling me that the franchise would DIE?
If you want changes in the foruma,with the same mons,then try the 3204932'0 spin-offs.They are popular too.
If the games are so "uninteresing" and wasting-potential,millions of people wouldnt play them.Gamers arent stupid,if a game is worth to be called uninteresting,it is not bought.
Simple as that.
Super Mario games have used the same formula for a longer time.But it works,and they are friggin awesome and FUN games,becouse the formulas of a game DONT MATTER.What matters is what the game contents,what it offers.And what POKEMON games need to offer each time is new and interesting POKEMON.That is all.
I like to save the beef for my tacos, so that's why my sig isn't that...well,beefy. (:
Reshiram is for those who are cool.
Amen to that. =\
Shit if you don't like repetitive pokemon game OVER and OVER again through the years, don't buy the freaking game.
Even if you bold the words "don't get me wrong I love Pokemon". STFU, you know you don't if your going to rant about all the games doing the same thing, over and over again.
Platinum FC ;; { 0818 3731 2061 }
My philosophy towards the games main story is, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
A character creator? I'd love, especially since I don't believe that I am playing whatever character I'm supposed to be playing when I do play. Not to mention, there would be no text hurt by the fact that you made a custom character.
Changing the battle system? No way José. Fuck that; my main Pokemon playing comes from its multiplayer. It is probably one of the best, essentially, "Fighting games," available. New Pokémon? New Attacks? Yes.
For the story itself, I hear people say they want to throw out the whole, 8 gym leader, evil team, elite four setup. No. I think they just need to cram more sideplot/quests between those things.
Eh, he's right. I may be easily amused, but ever since Red, I haven't minded. A change would be really nice, though. Like you're minding your own business, playing SSBB in your house, and then BAM, a meteor crashes into your house, etc so on and so forth.
Or maybe set it up differently. I mean the core of the game is collecting badges, and defeating the Elite Four, but maybe a fresh way of doing so is in order.
This exactly. ._. I personally loved Star Fox Adventures (sleeveless Fox, mm-hmm. ...don't ask.), and before SFA came out, I heard a few people going "lol SF64 was just a lazy hash of SF-SNES". When SFA came out, what were those same fans like? "lol this game sucks they should have stuck with shooting stuff"
And let's not even get started on the Sonic fandom, or how fans whined when Super Mario Sunshine came out, or why Mother/Earthbound, Kirby, Pikmin, and Baten Kaitos haven't seen a new game in ages. They all offered unique and different gameplay, something fans like you probably won't even touch, despite all the whining of "repetition".
Two words: Unpleasable Fanbase.
If they keep things the same, fans like the OP will just complain about "repetition" and "milking the golden milk cow".
They change it? Fans like the OP will complain that either "they're doing it wrong", or "they should stick with formula after all tee hee".
Simply put, I don't want Pokemon to change. Not because I suck at Action RPG or RTS, I just don't want it to change. Pokemon main-games are perfect just as they are.
Signature is a WIP for the moment.
For now, I have claimed: Mewtwo, Member's Card, Wide Lens, Honey Gather, and Psystrike.
They can make all the changes they want, but Pokemon without the glorified rock paper scissors battle system is like a Super Mario game without the jump button- a spinoff.
You know, people always say they want a new experience. There are these things called spin-offs, which are actually pretty good and basically fill that need.
You guys are ridiculous!
No I'm not a Troll. (Even though most of you are nerdraging so bad it seems like you're trolled lol) I think what I've stated in this thread are all FACTS that prove my point that Pokemon has a repetitive formula.
I'm not saying they should never make another game the same way. So calm down lol!!! 80% of you are getting worked up over nothing! This is POKEMON okay? It's not serious business.
I'm entitled to my opinion. And in my opinion I think Pokemon could branch off and spawn incredibly successful games if they just try something new.
It's nothing to get upset over ^________^;;
So because I find the Pokemon games repetitive, I can't possibly enjoy them? What kind of logic is that? I personally own a copy of every game that's come out...
I just think that Pokemon has so much more potential.
Why does that make you mad?
Why is it everyone assumes that I insist Nintendo only make one kind of Pokemon game, and not the other older style.
Never once did I say that -____-;;
Considering the money Nintendo makes, I see no reason why they can't make multiple styles of Pokemon games... >_>;;

You mean like what they do now with their main series games and their other spin-offs?
Really, this should just be "What type of spin-offs do you want to see in Gen V" thread, a topic I believe we already have.
EDIT: It's basically this thread except you don't want it called a spin-off and has much more unnecessary fanwank.
EDIT 2: Just to list the many things Pokemon has branched off to:
TCG Video game
Picture game
What essentially amounts to as a Nintendog
A Pinball series
Puzzle league series
Another puzzle based game
A racing game
Mystery Dungeon series
Ranger series
Those are the ones that don't deal with the same old battling, the last two being the most recent and currently going strong, though the WiiWare MD looks like crap, but the ranger series is just improving with quality with each game.

Southwest Florida Christian (1-2, 0-0 1B-6) at First Baptist Academy (1-2, 0-0), 7:30 p.m.
Key players: SFC – QB Andrew Hall, RB Armand Regnaert, WR Colton Catto. FBA – QB Corey Todd, WR Johan Bueltel, LB Alex Diaz.
What to watch for: The Kings are one of four teams First Baptist beat last year in its inaugural season. Southwest Florida Christian also is a second-year program. The Lions are coming off a 33-6 loss, their lowest scoring output of the season, and are hoping to improve on offense. First Baptist has averaged less than 280 yards a game through the first three weeks.
NAPLES — If First Baptist wants a victory on homecoming, the Lions need to play like they did last week in a 33-6 loss.
Not the way they played in the first half, when First Baptist gave up four touchdowns in the second quarter and fell behind 26-0. No, Lions coach Billy Sparacio wants his team to play like it did in the second half last week, when it was an extra point away from playing defending district champ Out-of-Door Academy to a tie.
"The game was much closer than it looked," Sparacio said. "We came out and played better in the second half. The kids played with more energy."
The coach expects the Lions (1-2) to bring the same energy to Friday night's game against Southwest Florida Christian Academy in front of a large homecoming crowd. First Baptist beat the Kings (1-2), a second-year program like the Lions, in last year's final game.
Last season, quarterback Corey Todd ran for 198 yards against Southwest Florida Christian in a 47-28 win. Sparacio wants to see more of that success on the ground, something that was lacking last week in scoring a season-low six points.
"We want to run the ball harder this week," the Lions coach said. "Offensively, we want to be more physical. We have to do a better job executing and staying on the field."
Todd is the leading rusher for the team three games into the year, but Sparacio would like to see running back Alex Garcia shoulder more of the load. Garcia missed the opener with an injury.
The Lions defense has worked on tackling and fundamentals in practice leading up to the game. For the defense to improve, Sparacio said, First Baptist's offense needs to sustain long drives to give the defenders a rest.
Both teams enter Week 4 with 1-2 records with one game against a common opponent. First Baptist's only victory this season was a 41-14 romp over Bradenton-St. Stephen's in Week 2. The Kings lost 40-6 to St. Stephen's last week.

Horizontal spread of transposon mutagenesis: new uses for old elements
Trends in Plant Science, Volume 1, Issue 6, 1 June 1996, Pages 184-190
Venkatesan Sundaresan
AbstractThe mutagenic potential of transposable elements has been widely exploited in research on organisms to clone genes using transposon sequences as molecular tags ('transposon tagging'). However, the application of transposon tagging to plants has until recently been restricted to species with active, well-characterized transposon systems, such as maize and Antirrhinum. Significant advances have now been made in the use of maize transposons for mutagenesis in other species. In particular, a series of spectacular successes over the past two years has demonstrated that it may now be possible to clone any gene from any plant species by the application of transposon tagging.

Million Tadege, Pascal Ratet and Kirankumar S. Mysore
AbstractLegumes are second only to grasses in worldwide economic importance, and understanding their molecular genetics is vital to the breeding of important grain and forage legumes. Over the past decade, Medicago truncatula has been selected as a model plant in which to study biological processes that are unique and pertinent to legumes, and that cannot easily be studied in Arabidopsis. Here, we discuss the most common tools for introducing and analyzing genetic mutations in M. truncatula. Because transformation and regeneration are still bottlenecks in studying a legume species, large-scale insertional mutagenesis poses a major challenge in M. truncatula. We discuss the tobacco retrotransposon Tnt1 as a viable and attractive option for introducing multiple independent insertions per plant for saturation mutagenesis.

Tamara Maes, Peter De Keukeleire and Tom Gerats
AbstractTransposable elements have been used as an effective mutagen and as a tool to clone tagged genes. Insertion of a transposable element into a gene can lead to loss- or gain-of-function, changes in expression pattern, or can have no effect on gene function at all, depending on whether the insertion took place in coding or non-coding regions of the gene. Cloning transposable elements from different plant species has made them available as a tool for the isolation of tagged genes using homologous or heterologous tagging strategies. Based on these transposons, new elements have been engineered bearing reporter genes that can be used for expression analysis of the tagged gene, or resistance genes that can be used to select for knockout insertions. While many genes have been cloned using transposon tagging following traditional forward genetics strategies, gene cloning has ceased to be the rate-limiting step in the process of determining sequence–function relations in several important plant model species. Large-scale insertion mutagenesis and identification of insertion sites following a reverse genetics strategy appears to be the best method for unravelling the biological role of the thousands of genes with unknown functions identified by genome or expressed sequence tag (EST) sequencing projects. Here we review the progress in forward tagging technologies and discuss reverse genetics strategies and their applications in different model species.

The activation of cellular oncogenes by retroviral insertion
Roel Nusse
Replication-competent retroviruses can induce a variety of tumors by insertional activation of cellular oncogenes. Transposon tagging techniques have uncovered many novel cellular genes implicated in tumorigenesis. Activation of these genes can occur by insertion of viral promoters, transcriptional enhancement over large distances, or the generation of novel chimeric proteins.

SQL and SQL-based relational databases are one of the most important foundation technologies of the computer market today. From its first commercial implementation about two decades ago, SQL has grown to become the standard database language. In its first decade, the backing of IBM, the blessing of standards bodies, and the enthusiastic support of DBMS vendors made SQL a dominant standard for enterprise-class data management. In its second decade, the dominance of SQL extended to personal computer and workgroup environments and to new, database-driven market segments, such as data warehousing. In the early part of its third decade, SQL stands as the standard database technology for Internet-based computing. The market evidence clearly shows the importance of SQL:
This chapter describes some of the most important current trends and developments in the database market, and projects the major forces acting on SQL and database management over the next several years.

CARTAGENA, Colombia -- An embarrassing scandal involving prostitutes and Secret Service agents deepened Saturday as 11 agents were placed on leave, and the agency designed to protect President Barack Obama had to offer regret for the mess overshadowing his diplomatic mission to Latin America. The controversy also expanded to the U.S. military, which announced five service members staying at the same hotel as the agents in Colombia may have been involved in misconduct as well. They were confined to their quarters in Colombia and ordered not to have contact with others. All the alleged activities took place before Obama arrived Friday in this Colombian port city for meetings with 33 other regional leaders. Put together, the allegations were an embarrassment for an American president on foreign soil and threatened to upend White House efforts to keep his trip focused squarely on boosting economic ties with fast-growing Latin America. Obama was holding two days of meetings at the Summit of the Americas with leaders from across the vast region before heading back to Washington Sunday night. The Secret Service did not disclose the nature of the misconduct. The Associated Press confirmed on Friday that it involved prostitutes. The White House said Obama had been briefed about the incidents but would not comment on his reaction. "The president does have full confidence in the United States Secret Service," presidential spokesman Jay Carney said when asked. Carney insisted the matter was more a distraction for the media than Obama. But Secret Service assistant director Paul Morrissey said in a statement: "We regret any distraction from the Summit of the Americas this situation has caused." Rep. Peter King, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, told the AP after he was briefed on the investigation on Saturday that "close to" all 11 of the agents involved had brought women back to their rooms at a hotel separate from where Obama is now staying. The New York Republican said the women were "presumed to be prostitutes" but investigators were interviewing the agents. The lawmaker also offered new details about the controversy. King said he was told that anyone visiting the hotel overnight was required to leave identification at the front desk and leave the hotel by 7 a.m. When a woman failed to do so, it raised questions among hotel staff and police, who investigated. They found the woman with the agent in the hotel room and a dispute arose over whether the agent should have paid her. King said he was told that the agent did eventually pay the woman. The incident was reported to the U.S. Embassy, prompting further investigation, King said. The 11 employees in question were special agents and Uniformed Division Officers. None were assigned to directly protect Obama. All were sent home and replaced, Morrissey said, given "the nature of the allegations" and a zero tolerance policy on personal misconduct. The Secret Service says the incidents have had no bearing on its ability to provide security for Obama's stay in Colombia. Another jolt came Saturday when the U.S. Southern Command said five service members assigned to support the Secret Service violated their curfew and may have been involved in inappropriate conduct. Carney said it was part of the same incident involving the Secret Service. As for the apparent misconduct by the military members, Gen. Douglas Fraser, commander of U.S. Southern Command, said he was "disappointed by the entire incident" and said the behavior was "not in keeping with the professional standards expected of members of the United States military." Col. Scott Malcom, chief of public affairs for Southern Command, said of the five service members: "The only misconduct I can confirm is that they were violating the curfew established. He said he had seen the news reports about the Secret Service agents involved in alleged prostitution at the hotel but could not confirm whether the service members also were involved. The military is investigating. The Secret Service agents at the center of the allegations had stayed at Cartagena's five-star Hotel Caribe. Several members of the White House staff and press corps subsequently stayed at the hotel. King credited the Secret Service director for acting quickly to remove the agents in question and replace them before Obama's arrival. A hotel employee, speaking on the condition of anonymity for fear of losing his job, said the agents arrived at the beachfront hotel about a week ago and said the agents left the hotel Thursday, a day before Obama and other regional leaders arrived for the weekend summit. Three waiters interviewed by the AP at the hotel described the agents as drinking heavily during their stay. At least one member of the Secret Service -- famous for dark shades, sharp suits and stern demeanor -- tried to take a prostitute up to a hotel room in tropical Cartagena without registering her, a Cartagena policeman told Reuters. On Friday, the hotel began filling up with the delegations of some of the more than 30 countries whose leaders are convening for the weekend Summit of the Americas. The hotel's public relations director, Ana Beatriz Angel, refused to comment on the incident, which she said "concerns only and exclusively the U.S. government." On the steamy streets of Cartagena, a resort city with a teeming prostitution trade, there was condemnation for the Secret Service agents for what residents saw as abusing their station and dishonoring their country. Edwin Yepes, a souvenir vendor, said "they are supposed to come here and set an example. We are an inferior culture, and so it's better if they don't come than if they damage our image of them." Ronald Kessler, a former Washington Post reporter and author of the book "In the President's Secret Service: Behind the Scenes With Agents in the Line of Fire and the Presidents They Protect," first heard about the investigation and tipped off Post reporters Friday night, Politico reported Saturday. "It is the biggest scandal in Secret Service history," Kessler said in an interview Saturday with Politico. "It is all part of this pattern that I wrote about in the book of corner cutting, laxness, cover up." Kessler told Politico that he heard some of the agents were being investigated — some for allegedly soliciting prostitutes, others for trying to cover it up -- and the case came to light when one of the prostitutes complained to police that she was not paid. "It is totally inappropriate for agents to be seeing prostitutes, but this subjected the agents to possible blackmail," Kessler said. "Some of them are married. Anything is possible. The prostitutes could have been in league with terrorists or other drug dealers to demand ransoms." The incident was the main topic of conversation in the city, adding an unwelcome twist to Obama's efforts to win back a region where U.S. influence is steadily waning. "We don't like what they did. It makes our city look bad. They came to look after their president, not to have a party," Cartagena street-seller Rosa Elena Prieto said of the scandal. "The weak flesh of men costs them their jobs." An official at one of the main summit hotels said the U.S. security personnel were changed after the incident to include more Spanish-speaking women. "There are a lot more women than before. They speak Spanish and they are very rigorous," she said.

When one thinks of Hilla Rebay, the words artist,
curator, founder, and director of the Guggenheim Museum often come to mind. But
her interests and initiatives as an art and museum educator have remained
largely unrecognized. Hilla Rebay: Art Educator features
some of her remarkably progressive efforts to provide a variety of
audiences—from youth and teachers to artists and museum visitors—with opportunities
to learn about nonobjective art, or art without representational links to the
material world.
Rebay had a clear vision of how the museum
should function, as well as how it should present nonobjective paintings. As
museum director, she gave gallery talks and instructed her staff, comprised
primarily of artists, to "advise people who visited the museum." The paintings
on view were purposefully hung close to the floor and accompanied by
comfortable gallery seating and music to encourage sustained, contemplative
viewing of the works. Comment books in the galleries enabled visitors to share
their responses. Study prints and posters were sent to individuals and schools
free of charge. Nonobjective works submitted to the foundation offices were
returned along with a written critique, and Rebay would sometimes note her
"corrections" directly on the canvas or paper, in the tradition of the European
masters. Painters of promise were awarded scholarships and funding for art
As a testimony to her foresight, innovative
spirit, and intuitive educational sensibilities, sixty-five years later many of
Rebay's initiatives exist today as standard art museum education

Singer Pg 233 ?If its in our power?? Without sacrificing something that?s in equal consequence. The consequence he?s worried about is death from lack of food, shelter and medical care. If it?s in our power to stop this consequence then we ought to do it. This is our duty! His main argument (232-233) We should care From a moral point of view proximity doesn?t matter Which means just because something is far from where you are doesn?t make a moral difference. If you care about starving children here you should care about them in other places. Persons in the same circumstances have the same duty. Conclusion: We have a duty to prevent suffering and death. Anything we don?t need we should give to the needy. Not so extreme quote ?even if we accepted the principle in its moderate form we would have to give away enough to assume?? pg 241 Extreme quote ?The principle requires reducing to the level of moral significance?? Pg 241 This duty applies to everyone now but he?s still thinking of the worst consequence. Ex: He thinks I should give away all my tuition money in order to save the starving children that are going to die of starvation in Africa. Objection: the people we have a moral obligation to help are the future generations of our society. But he will say that that?s not what?s going on right now. What we need to worry about is what?s happening right now! Pg 238 Major objections We all ought to morally be working full time to stop the bad consequence His response: just because we feel a certain way doesn?t mean its morally correct to act that way. It?s too drastic of a moral scheme His response: our way of thinking is not correct. Categories: Perfect duties: what you owe to a certain person (charity: Singer) Imperfect duty: nobody has a particular right to say you have to act in a certain way but it?s wrong if you don?t. (Charity: Mill) Supererogatory: it goes beyond the other duties. It?s extra credit.(Charity: Us) Mill thinks: Charity is an imperfect duty and you?re a bad person if you don?t give to charity. Singer thinks: we should give up everything and everyone should all be equal when it comes to the things we have. Charity is a perfect duty. We think: charity is a supererogatory. Nobody else is doing it so why should I? I won?t make much of a difference. Singer?s response: Page 237-239 Even though people aren?t doing it doesn?t mean you don?t have that moral duty. Ex: you should save he drowning child even if nobody else is.

Norfolk Island pine is a fast-growing tree that can grow to 200 feet tall in its native habitat but seldom reaches more than 10 feet tall in containers indoors. If it doesn't receive bright light indoors, its branches droop and begin to turn brown. Keep the soil moderately dry, but give it high humidity.

$460m in bonds to finance South Pars projects
Economic Desk
On Line: 23 November 2011 16:15
In Print: Thursday 24 November 2011

Five trillion rials (some $460 million) in bonds will be offered as of Saturday at the Tejarat Bank branches of Iran nationwide to finance the South Pars gas field projects, National Iranian Oil Company's managing director, Ahmad Qalebani, said.
Five billion dollars in bonds will be issued in the current Iranian calendar year (to end March 20, 2012) to speed up the implementation of South Pars gas field projects, Qalebani told the Shana news agency.
Iran will also issue $15 billion in sukuk (Islamic Sharia-based) bonds in the current year to be invested in the domestic oil industry, oil minister Rostam Qasemi said earlier this month.
Iran needs to invest $48 billion to spur development of its oil and natural-gas industries, said Deputy Oil Minister Mohsen Khojasteh-Mehr in October.
The South Pars gas field is shared by Iran and Qatar. The Iranian share, which is divided into 29 phases, has about 14 trillion cubic meters of gas, or about eight percent of the total world reserves, and more than 18 billion barrels of liquefied natural gas resources.

2010 Roster Building-Second Basemen
3 comments:
Excellent point about age, and one I shouldn't have overlooked. This organization has had seen too many struggling minor-leaguers repeat their levels and then exhibit a burst of seeming excellence that is too apt to vanish at the next level.
Castro, a 25-year-old -- 26 in people years -- who is in his ninth(!) year in the organization, is a poster boy for this approach. Which I think will slowly diminish under Rizzo, but it will take a while to move all the organizational guys up or out.
The minors will be getting younger, as they should. Whether younger will equal better will be another matter, but it's the way to go.
In the meantime, move Castro along as soon as he becomes re-eligible in 2010 and be ready to test him under the MLB spotlight as soon as a need presents itself. It's not like they have to be afraid of him costing them the 2010 playoffs, or need to worry about blowing an option -- either he pans out or he doesn't.

Ok, you lost the election.
But your response to what has happened thus far with the Obama Administration ranks somewhere below "pathetic" and is dangerously close to "puerile."
You are still soliciting people to donate to the RNC under the rubric that you were and are a better choice. Your standard-bearer, McCain, made a fool of himself in the Senate the other day. And you still maintain that "tax cuts" are the fix for all that ails us.
If you want any chance of ever having a majority in Congress again, say much less The White House, you need to cut the crap and examine why you lost - then change it.
Here's the facts folks:
If you want to regain power in Washington DC and once again become a party of the people, you can - since it appears The Democrats are refusing to step to the forefront and seize the opportunity (damn foolish of them too, as they have power now and were they to take this advice they would literally feed The Republican party into a wood chipper feet-first) then you must become the "first mover" and shift the debate.
Americans are angry, and with just cause. The 535 Moes, Larrys and Curlys on Capitol Hill have taken hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign contributions which have purchased the right to blow serial bubbles and skim off fraudulent profits - their scheme of serial fraud has collapsed, destroying the average American's retirement, job security and economic prospects.
Here's the prescription to fix it now and forward - your platform on economics:
The bank "stress test" that President Obama has proposed is a good start - provided that it is "clean". I have my doubts. I was planning on penning a Ticker on the "stress test" this morning but frankly one of the forum's brighter lights, Mtgspy, penned a blog entry that says it at least as well as I could have - go take a read.
The essence of why we continue to have these zombies walking around and the shorts are pressing their bets in all markets they can access is simple - the banks continue to run their scam by keeping all their worthless toilet paper in "Level 3" at or near par. So long as this charade continues - and it will until the cashflow shortfall from these "assets" forces their free cash flow below zero or the cops put a stop to it - the market cannot and will not clear. This has resulted in a loss of fifty percent in the equity markets, and we both can and will lose another fifty percent in short order (and perhaps another one after that!) until and unless this game is stopped.
Private investment money will not return until the fraud is flushed out. The people with private capital have been screwed blind by the charade of "Level 3" toilet paper sold off as "Grade AAA" securities, suffering hundreds of billions of dollars in losses, along with more than $10 trillion in public equity market losses. The banks have literally trillions of dollars of so-called "assets" marked at or near par because they don't like the market price, with even more held off-balance sheet in ENRON-esque structures that must be collapsed. Many of these "assets" are fully-synthetic monstrosities or second lines that have no actual physical asset behind them - they're literally unsecured credit with no real hope of principal repayment despite claims to the contrary. They are worthless or nearly so, despite the protests of those with "computer models" and as the market has seen through these fictions money has fled the markets.
There is only one way to get that capital back into the market and working - the frauds must cease, the malefactors must go to jail, and the bright sunlight of truth must shine upon the firms and individuals involved in this charade from the top down.
The political party that does this owns Washington DC and The White House for the next 20 years.
While lobbyists make lots of campaign contributions they cannot vote. The body politic, on the other hand, can and does, and it is looking for real change, not faux promises wrapped in a fancy suit that hides yet more used toilet paper - all marked "AAA", of course.

TMZ has learned Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson have separated and plan to divorce.
We're told Ryan and Scarlett are living apart. And we're told it's amicable.
Ryan and Scarlett released a statement through their rep, telling TMZ, "After long and careful consideration on both our parts, we've decided to end our marriage. We entered our relationship with love and it's with love and kindness we leave it. While privacy isn't expected, it's certainly appreciated."
Ryan told GQ in September, Scarlett was "the best part" of his life, though he said having a family was "a few years down the road."
Ryan was named PEOPLE magazine's Sexiest Man Alive last month.
Interesting -- the couple was rarely seen out together. The most visible appearance -- at the Tony Awards this past June.
The couple was married in September, 2008.
UPDATE: Ryan Reynolds filed for divorce from Scarlett.
Actors live in make-believe. They are only interested in a quick rush which after a few get's stale. Then, a new love and he/she's the one; over and over...
Has anyone mentioned the fact that Scarlett would not marry Ryan with a prenup and now she is the one filing?? Thought it was shady then and even more so now. Not sure what the appeal is of her I am definitely not a fan nor have I ever been.
WOW...a whole 2 years? that's like 10 in Hollywood years right? of course it goes BACKWARDS when it comes to their real ages :)
When young people in their 20's get married and then quickly divorce it's called "starter marriages"....they're not taken too seriously. Sad state of affairs but they were just TOO YOUNG to be married.
Ryan is sexy in more ways than just the way he looks. He's funny, smart and physically attractive. He was also in a long term relationship BEFORE Scarlett. Before Ryan, Scarlett was out banging old perverts like Benecio Del Toro in elevators. Have you ever seen her play a part where she wasn't playing a miserable little b*$%h? She's young and has terrible body language. She has big boobs and that is all she has going for her. It's easy to judge, but really...Ryan will come out smelling like a rose on this one.
Saw this coming from the beginning. It's simple. She is a Jewish Princess and he is a Canadian Wasp. They were a terrible match. End of story.
Ryan and Scarlett
Christina and Jordan (?)
Vanessa and Zak
Michael C Hall and Jennifer
Elizabeth Hurley and Husband
Hurley's boyfriend and his wife
and so many more I can't remember. 'tis the season.
Celebrities should stop getting married. It is a waste of time and money. They NEVER last anymore!

Arduino Grande is a 'comically large,' fully functional microcontroller
Arduino microcontrollers are small enough that we've seen them used in everything from milk jugs to microwaves, but John Edgar Park wanted something bigger: so he's built the Arduino Grande. Park — who writes for Make magazine and works at DisneyToon Studios — will not only be showing off the massive microcontroller at the upcoming Bay Area edition of Maker Faire, but he'll also be running a presentation on how to build one yourself. The device is approximately six times the size of a standard Arduino and is fully functional, and it was built using 3D modelling software and a laser cutter. We're not quite sure what you'd use such a huge microcontroller for, but if you're in the area you can check out the presentation this Saturday — it even includes a live laser-cutting demo.

"Good advertising" is certainly a subjective term. Different layouts, font styles, images, and copywriting styles appeal to different audiences. You can run the most visually stunning, well-written ad ever crafted, but if it's aimed at the wrong audience, it's not a good ad.
I define good advertising as that which moves a prospect or client to action. Action can be picking up the phone, visiting a retail location, or requesting additional information. For tips that will help you create ads that will be noticed and acted upon, read on.

Genzyme says it has met FDA milestones
Genzyme Corp. said today it has met milestones under its consent decree with the Food and Drug Administration by moving a production step for some of its drugs out of its troubled Allston plant.
During the summer of 2009, Cambridge-based Genzyme shut the Allston facility for several weeks to sanitize the facility's equipment, where a virus had been detected. Full operations later resumed.
But under a the final terms of consent decree with the FDA, announced in May, Genzyme agreed to stop the "filling and finishing" step of the production process at Allston for all of its drugs that are distributed in the United States, the company said in a press release.
The deadline for meeting that goal is the end of November. (Filling and finishing is essentially bottling a drug in vials for distribution. It is deemed a separate step from manufacturing a drug.)
Today Genzyme said it has met some of the goals spelled out in the FDA decree by ending filling and finishing work at Allston for all drugs that are distributed within the United States. The deadline for meeting this goal is Nov. 30.
In today's release, Genzyme said it has transferred the filling and finishing process for Thyrogen, a drug used to help in the diagnosis of thyroid cancer, and Fabrazyme, a drug for Fabry disease, from Allston to a Genzyme plant in Ireland and to other locations operated by third-party contractors. Earlier, Genzyme had taken some similar steps for other drugs that had been filled and finished in Allston.
The Allston facility is currently making Cerezyme and Fabrazyme, drugs that treat enzyme deficiencies. The facility is also doing filling and finishing work for other drugs that are distributed outside the United States.
Under the FDA consent decree, the Allston facility must end all filling and finishing work, including work for drugs distributed outside the US, by Aug. 31.
