Seen above giving me a visual interpretation of my Sunday hangover, the mutated crack pipe-induced mouth blister Charlie Sheen is once again making his co-workers contemplate breaking into his trailer to soothe their splintered nerves by stealing and smoking his stash of crack. The Hollywood Reporter brings us the shocking and surprising news that working with Charlie Sheen is as good for your blood pressure as going to Ikea on a Saturday afternoon is. No, I'm still not over that shit.
A source tells THR that Charlie has missed a few days of shooting on his show Anger Management and it's screwing with the schedule. They somehow made it two thirds of the way through their 100-episode order, but the show's studio Lionsgate still had to push shooting past what they had planned and some scenes have been shot with Charlie Sheen stand-ins (a Charlie Sheen stand-in either looks like this or this). The cast is pissed and telling the producers that they're going to stop showing up for work if Charlie Sheen keeps no-showing. But Charlie's spokeswhore says that THR's source is a liar and the show hasn't used stand-ins.
A Lionsgate spokesperson declined to comment on the situation. Sheen's publicist, Jeff Ballard, denies that the show has used stand-ins or shot around the actor. "We did not shoot last week because another member of the cast was sick," the rep tells THR. "Charlie is always ready, willing and able to shoot Anger Management and looks forward to returning on Monday."
What's really shocking about this whole thing is that Charlie Sheen managed to shoot over 60 episodes of that wreck without having to use all his "sick" and "mental health" days because he was arrested after the cops found 4 dead hookers in his trailer. Ray Donovan is real and pays a visit to the Anger Management set at least every other day. But what does the cast of Anger Management expect?! Did Selma Blair not teach them anything?! When you sign up for a Charlie Sheen show, there's a 100% chance you'll inhale second-hand crack smoke at least once a day and there's an even bigger chance that Charlie Sheen will declare a snow day a few times a month and by "snow day" I mean he's too coked up to come in.
Christian Bale Is Going To Be A Daddy Again
In case you didn't see Christian Bale's wife's obvious knocked up state at the Oscars, she's knocked up. Sibi Blazic (Side note: When I "Travoltafied" my name last week, I got Sibi Blazic) didn't even try to hide her fetus bubble at the Oscars and I figured that she either had a Bale baby in there or she had some kind of weird allergic reaction to the beast that was on top of John Travolta's head, which is totally possible. John Travolta should really only wear hypoallergenic dogs on his head to make sure this never happens.
E! News says that Christian's jizz isn't fucking done professionally or personally with Sibi's ovaries and they made their second kid together. Christian and Sibi have been married for 14 years this month and they have an 8-year-old daughter named Emmeline. Christian's rep had a whole lot of nothing to say about this, but some source tells UsWeekly:
"They are truly a supportive couple, he and Sibi are thrilled. She's been traveling with him while he's been touring around for American Hustle."
Christian and Sibi's kids are going to be 8 or 9 years apart, which means that their daughter's angsty years are going to be extra angsty with a little kid screaming in her ear. But what's really crazy is that these two are having another child. FOR WHY? Children are a mess and I don't know how some of you do it. I'm only typing this right now, because yesterday I made the smart decision of going to Ikea on a Saturday afternoon AND the child play area was closed. Chirruns were everywhere. They were jumping on couches (yes, I got shades of Tommy Girl on Oprah), pulling sheets off of beds, running into me and losing their minds. It was like being trapped in Justin Bieber's head while he's having a tantrum. It's a miracle that I didn't leave Ikea on a stretcher and with a tranquilizer dart stuck in my neck after having a Bale-like meltdown.
Stacy Keibler Married Her Piece Of A Few Months
I'll wait here as you rinse away the class that oozed out of that picture and splashed onto your eyeballs. That looks like one of the rejected ideas for the Kardashian Khristmas Kard.
Around this time last year, the word "marriage" wasn't allowed to leap off of Stacy Keibler's tongue and if she happened to accidentally burp it out during a conversation, George Clooney's HR department would write her up and 5% was deducted from her future exit settlement. Well, 8 months after George Clooney's ho wrangler let her know that her services as his award season escort were no longer needed, Stacy did the "m" word in Mexico. Stacy tells People that yesterday in Mexico, she did the thing that George Clooney will probably never do again. Actually, she did two things George Clooney will probably never do again. She got married and she fucked someone her own age. 34-year-old Stacy married 39-year-old California businessman Jared Pobre (Spanish to English translation: Jared Poor) after knowing his ass for 5 years and dating his ass for 6 or 7 months. Stacy released this dry heave-inducing sticky sweet statement which reads like it was put together using words found inside of anniversary greeting cards at Target.
"My happiness is indescribable! Marriage is the ultimate bond of love and friendship. It means putting all your faith and trust into a person that you can't help but believe is your soul mate. Someone who has all of your best interests at heart; someone handpicked for you, to help you grow and be the best person that you can be. Jared is all of this for me.
We both felt strongly that our 'love day' should be intimately special, and that's exactly what it was. It was a blend of romance, tranquility, natural beauty, bonding and overwhelming love."
If I ever need to barf out of my eye sockets, I'll just read that statement again.
Marrying a trick after boning full-time for only 6 months summons a side-eye out of me, but Stacy could've done worse. Despite his last name, dude is rich and he looks like he could win second place in a David Bromstad look-alike contest. So get that Color Splash dick and get that money, Stacy.
And I guess this means that Stacy can officially leave George Clooney's House for Wayward Hos. Sarah Larson and Elisabetta Canalis will pour one out (read: pour a body shot on their stomach and let a frat boy slurp it up) for you, Stacy.

Hot Slut Of The Day!
Duke, the British one hit wonder from 1997 with a voice like a prepubescent Justin Timberlake, the mysterious looks of Powder as a DC Comics villain and the style of an assistant manager at Chess King.
Dlisted reader Brittany sent me an email the other day that reached into the trash heap of wet foolery that is my memory box and pulled out Duke's "So In Love With You" from 1997. "So In Love With You" was Duke's only hit in the US and my only real memory of the song is watching my drunk middle-aged tia and my drunk middle-aged tio freak danc to it on the concrete patio of my cousin's backyard wedding as my abuelita condemned them to slut hell with her eyes as she sipped on hot water and lemon from a Garfield mug.
I'll let Brittany describe the glory and charisma of Duke!
After Marvin Gaye, and before Robin Thicke, there was Duke. At the time, I thought "So In Love With You" was a genuine old-ass disco song by someone like The Gap Band or indeed Marvin Gaye. I had no idea the artist was a contemporary white British guy. Duke should be HSOTD for the following reasons:
1.) 1997.
2.) That facial hair!
3.) Those eyebrows!
4.) The best impersonation of Robin Thicke impersonating Marvin Gaye.
5.) The best impersonation of Robin Thicke impersonating Duke impersonating Robin Thicke — yeah, Duke was that good. So ahead of his time!
6.) Craig Wedren.
I don't know if I should hate Brittany a lot or hate her just a little for making me think of Craig Wedren again.
And on top of all of that, the video for "So In Love With You" was like a tool the bald Michael Stipe-looking evil leader of a cult would use to his hypnotize his disciples:
If you looked deep into Duke's creepy, hypnotizing eyes during that video and now you have the sudden urge to put on a white nehru collar jacket from Structure and shave your head, you've just been Duke'd. Go with it.

Open Post: Hosted By Blue Ivy Carter Singing Along To "Drunk In Love"
During Beyoncé's rehearsal for her Grammy performance of Drunk in Love ("Is the track playing? Yes? Okay, good rehearsal everyone!") someone caught the voice of the chosen child of the Illuminati, Blue Ivy Carter singing along with her mother. Well, describing it as singing along might be generous; the only word she knows is 'surfbort', but I'll allow it, considering those are the only words I know too.
Once Beyoncé recognizes that it's Blue Ivy's voice, and not just a sound tech she plans on firing for daring to sound better than she, she calls out "Hi Blue Blue!" and BIC responds with "Hi Mommy!" I know, I too am shocked that she referred to her Mommy; I just assumed Beyoncé would make her child address her Most Heavenly Wearer of the Dramatiqué Lacefronts. But it's actually kind of sweet the way Beyoncé reacts to hearing her child call her Mommy; it's almost as if it's the first time that's ever happened (good one, Allison).
And to answer your question, no, Her Holiness Blue-Blue was not mic'd; she was born with the ability to speak at full volume like the voice of God.

Beep Beep Hoes, Elegance And Refined Beauty Coming Through!
Kendall, I know you walked in a Chanel show once and Anna Wintour knows your name and you've eaten nothing but celery and ambition for the past 6 months, but that don't make you no supermodel hunny. Turn your head to the right and address Miss Khloe as "The Bus", because she's taking you to school. Take notes, bitch! This is how you give lot lizard She-Hulk realness.
Khloe Kardashian took Kendall Jenner and Scott Disick to a Rick Ross concert Friday night and she was obviously pre-gaming with Bruce Jenner, because this Daytona Beach Bike Week cycle-slut outfit has his sabotaging stink all over it. Don't get me wrong: Khloe has never looked hotter than she does dressed as a grizzly bear Pretty Woman, but it's also a fucking mess. Only Brucie would convince Khloe that she could cram 10lbs of pussy into 3lbs of coochie-cutters. Brucie, you cruel bitch, you! Remember, jealousy turns a 10 into a 6 (as if Brucie would ever fall lower than 8.5).
And the second she heard the ho stroll screaming out in pain from being stomped to death, RuPaul dropped what she was doing and rushed to teach Khloe how to sissy that walk.

Shakira's Boyfriend Doesn't Allow Her To Do Music Videos With Men Anymore
Even Candace Cameron Bure read that headline and went "Shoot girl, are you ever allowed out of the house? Blink once for yes and twice for HELP A BITCH ESCAPE!"
Shakira gave an interview to Billboard where she talks about having to ask her boyfriend, Gerard Piqué, for permission to shoot that fake gayelle tourism video with Rihanna. That alone was enough for my eyes to hyperspeed into a cut-eye that said 'Excuse you and excuse your permission-asking bullshit.' But then she hit the gas hard and plowed right into an International Women's Day parade:
"He's very territorial, and since he no longer lets me do videos with men, well, I have to do them with women," she says with a laugh. "It's more than implied in our relationship that I can't do videos like I used to. It's out of the question – which I like, by the way. I like that he protects his turf and he values me, in a way that the only person that he would ever let graze my thigh would be Rihanna."
She's not allowed to even think about filming a music video with another man? Shit, dickmatized doesn't even come close to describing Shakira's relationship with her boyfriend; it's more like dickmatrapped. Adam Levine, Usher, and Blake Shelton need to stop whatever they're doing (humping a lingerie model, putting Bieber down for a nap, hiding in the garage from Miranda Lambert) and force Shakira to watch Sleeping with the Enemy and The Stranger Beside Me, followed by singing I'm Every Woman into their hair brushes.
And speaking of Adam Levine; Shakira's boyfriend can't be that territorial if he's letting her sit next to the King of the Man Sluts on The Voice. Or maybe he's made peace with the fact that Adam's hoo-hoo hungry dick is able to hunt down snatch like the Predator and there's nothing he can do about it.

Juan Pablo Galavis Is The "Worst Bachelor Ever"
And I know I should clarify, because everything about ABC's The Bachelor is the worst; except for Molly the dog, who should be given all the roses, Milk Bones, and the stuffed animal of her choice to hump on (she was the greatest thing to ever happen to this messy train wreck). But according to E! Online, Juan "Eees Okae" Pablo is the worst-worst. Wait a second…a guy who ditched his daughter to dry hump a dozen drunk randos in a hot tub turned out to be a jerk? You don't say!
"Everyone on the show is just so over him and cannot wait for this season to be over," a source connected with the dating competition series told us.
The insider added that producers and crew members have never been so ready for a season of the Bachelor to end. "It has not been anyone's favorite, that's for sure."
A second source dished to us that people working on the program have been saying that "he's the worst bachelor ever."
Well shucks, that seems awful mean. I wonder why people don't like Juan Pablo? Let's see…gay people probably don't like him because he said they're all a bunch of dick-hungry sluts. He pissed off a lot of people when he made an R-word joke and then refused to apologize for it. He says he's a Venezuelan soccer star, but he hasn't actually played professionally since 2008. He's pretty much unemployed and still lives at home with his parents. Oh, and he slut shamed a chick he fucked in the ocean.
That's all we've got for now, but it's still early, so let's cover all our bases and say he also parks in the handicap spots at the mall, cheats on his taxes, and only tips 6% at Olive Garden. HOW DARE YOU, JUAN PABLO! Those breadsticks deserve at least 15%!!
Hot Sluts Of The Day!
Anna and Lucy DeCinque, the delicate and freshly bloomed twin Australian sunflowers who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on plastic surgery to look totally identical and share everything including a man. Double the beauty, double the glamour, double the elegance, double the aaaaaaah!
28-year-olds Anna and Lucy from Perth, Australia were born just one minute apart and ever since they were pulled out of their mother's body they've been inseparable and barely leave each other's side. They have always worn matching outfits and when they got older, they got matching silicone titty domes, shellacked slug lips, plastic spider leg lashes and exquisitely tattooed eyebrows. According to The Daily Mail and the NY Post, they spent more than $200,000 to look like two cholita Real Dolls manufactured specifically for the dude who doesn't want his Real Doll to look too real. The plastic surgery artiste who worked on them should obviously get several Nobel Peace Prizes for recreating this kind of beauty twice!
This is what Anna and Lucy looked like 9 years ago before they got the 2-for-1 special and completely transformed themselves into Bratz's answer to The Barbi Twins.
That picture = If Nikki McKibbin got artificially inseminated with eggs fertilized by the Saw puppet's sperm, which equals chola raver glamour times two.
Besides sharing the same face and Tupperware bowl titties, the beauty school dropouts share the same bed in their mother's house, the same job, the same paycheck and they even share a boyfriend and when one's rubbing her latex body on him, the other one watches.
"We're dating one boy at the moment. There are three people in our relationship. We're sharing. It's not really weird to us. We have one boyfriend and all three of us share the same bed. For guys, in their hearts and dreams, they want two girlfriends. We have the same taste in everything, so obviously we're going to like the same boy too. We're all together when we have sex, and if we like the same guy, so be it. Every date had to be a double date. It's always double or nothing."
You really can't say you're close to your sister until you've seen her rubber sheet skin melt while humping on your shared boyfriend in your shared bed. That is the real definition of sisterly bonding. Or maybe that's the real definition of sisterly nightmares? I get the two confused sometimes.
Anna and Lucy also share the reincarnated heart of Mother Theresa, because they work at an elderly care facility where they serve meals to memaws and pepaws who are grateful to be surrounded by two stunning double rainbows. Here's an interview with them from a couple of years ago:
Call them crazy, call them the plot for James Wan's next movie, but honestly, we should all be so lucky to have a sibling who shares our love for looking like a plastic flower in the Garden of Snooki and who appreciates elegant ensembles previously worn by 90s pussy peddlers. Pure gorgeousness squared!

What do you mean by "mobile"? Multi-applicant inventors in the European Bio-Technology Industry
Many recent papers dealing with the issue of knowledge spillovers have relied on patent data to extract information on so-called mobile inventors that is inventors designated by patent applications filed by different companies. In this paper we follow in this tradition, but with the aim of setting straight a number of methodological issues. By making use of information on the identity and history of those applicants, we then propose a taxonomy of the phenomena behind multi-applicant inventorship, which distinguishes between job mobility, mobility as a result of M&As, a case which we suspect to be dominated by the markets for research and for technologies, and residuals cases. We then argue that different multi-applicant inventors' categories have to do with different patterns of knowledge diffusion, which include both spillovers and markets for technology.Download Info

Women Take On Bigfoot
Posted by: Loren Coleman on November 28th, 2007
On MonsterQuest on Wednesday, November 28, 2007, it is all women on the track of "Bigfoot."
The show's description has this to say: "Bigfoot has been sighted in Washington State more than any other place on earth. Join an all-female expedition as they try to lure a Bigfoot within range of their cameras. The 1967 Patterson footage will be reexamined using digital microscopes that could reveal details that might prove if the beast is real or a hoax."
I asked one of the members of the expedition, Monica Rawlins for some details. Her answers to my questions are below:
Loren: "Besides you, who were the others along on the MonsterQuest shoot?"
Monica: "The women who were there are: Melissa Hovey, Kathy Strain, Kristine Walls, a temporary employee at the UW botany department, and her friend from the BFRO, Tracy Herigstad. Rick Noll was with us and suppose to be the director and the camera crew consisted of one guy who insisted he was a woodsman but he had to be in bed by 9 every night. All of the shots were staged, no actual research, as the cameraman read off a shot list we had to get done. It was a real trial. We had three other researchers join us, although they were not shown or mentioned in the show. They were: Brian Brown (of the BFF), Jerry Riedel and John Witherspoon."
Loren: "Could you tell me a little about yourself?"
Monica: "I was born in Santa Rosa, California on January 3rd, 1973. I was raised in Santa Rosa, but vacationed every summer at my uncle's place in Douglas County, Oregon. It was there that I had various experiences that I believe were Bigfoot related, throughout the years."
Loren: "How did you get interested in Bigfoot?"
Monica: "Of course The Legend of Boggy Creek played into my becoming a researcher, but I have always been interested in the stories and their origins. I remember my Grandfather telling me stories about Bigfoot and incidents that happened to friends of his. He encouraged my brother and my interests in various 'mysterious' subjects. I had experiences while in Oregon that led me to research, and I use that term loosely, through out my teen years. When I moved to Texas, I had given up on any expectations of researching here until I saw the movie The Legend of Boggy Creek again. I had seen it many times while growing up, but did not pay any attention to it's location until that night. It dawned on me that the location was not too far from my home, only about two hours. It was that night that I went on the internet and looked up Bigfoot + Texas and found the TBRC; to which I am currently on the Board of Directors."
Loren: "How are you raising your kids in your Bigfoot-aware home?"
Monica: "I have three children who I encourage the same way my Grandfather encouraged me. If they have questions, I answer them honestly and hope they grow to view the world with open-minded skepticism. If this mystery is not solved within my lifetime, I hope to see one of them carry on investigating. If it is solved, I hope they find mysteries of their own to pursue, this has given me the opportunity to meet some wonderful and unique people and I would like for my children to have the same opportunity – no matter what their quarry."
Loren: "What are your future objectives in Bigfoot research?"
Monica: "My own future goals are simple – keep investigating. I love the thrill of the hunt. I am planning an expedition for TBRC members next summer, which will keep me occupied making travel arrangements for a large group of people. I am also the Chair of our training committee, which holds two training camps for members every year, the next being in late January 2008. I keep busy training, organizing and executing events within our group and investigating sightings within my region when they happen."
I appreciate Monica Rawlins giving a little insight into whom she is before the show tonight.

Monthly Musing: 2010 Sucked- The Hype Train
on 01.20.2011
If you are anything like me, you too can be easily sucked in by the hype train. Again, if you are anything like me, you will have been severely disappointed by half of these games that have been hyped to the moon. I have decided, in my infinite wisdom, to try and sift through the mountain of hype that has plagued this year and find my 3 biggest crash sites of the biggest trains containing the most hype. Anywho, enough with this stupid metaphor,
Let me clear this up, I
the original Crackdown, I loved how open the mission structure was, I loved the city, I loved so much about the original I could fill an entire article about my love for this God-given game. I, however, am not talking about the original Crackdown. I am talking about
Crackdown 2
First of all,
The Hype
Picture the scene, I had just forgotten about the original Crackdown, only the best memories of this game remained; the destruction, the powers, the chaos, the exhilaration, the fun and then Crackdown 2 was announced. This particular train promised me everything I loved about the original Crackdown with the inspired idea of adding 4 player co-op. The things I imagined, I imagined the fun, the chaos, the screwing-over of teammates for lulz. The game in my head was perfect, I would have paid way to much for a game that was just Crackdown 1, with some little improvements and 4 player co-op.
Second of all,
The Cold, Dark, Depressing, Soul-Crushing, Vacuumous, Pit of Harsh Reality
I was
excited for this game that, when I heard of the Crackdown 2 demo, I went and snapped it up as fast as I could. This demo disappointed me, it lacked the feel of the first but I just assumed it was the lack of the gangs I knew and loved and just pushed that itty-bitty thought to the back of my mind. When the game came out however I realised that, not only was the game not as good as the first, it was bad, completely bad. It wasn't just a little bad, it was flat out awful. It took all the bast parts of the original, the open ended mission structure, the cool city and the kick ass transforming cars. It took these aspects and threw them out the window and replaced them with an outstandingly repetitive mission structure, a shitty, shell of a city once full of character and
no transforming cars
This is another game where I really loved the predecessor, in fact I loved it for similar reasons to
, and so when I heard of a sequel that not only promised to fix some of the bugs on the original but vastly improve the game while they were at it.
The Hype
I had never been exposed to the Lord, King and God of hype, Peter Molyneux, before the build up to
Fable 3
and so I was unprepared for the ferocity with which he hypes his games. Let me say this, if
Fable 3
had somehow lived up to the glorious vision in Peter Molyneux's mind, it would have easily made it into my top 5 games of all time. That game would've been superb, with the detailed NPC's, the weapons that morphed and changed with your play style and last but certainly not least, the king mode. This king mode was the main reason that I bought this game. I loved the idea that the structure of the game would completely change about halfway through the game.
The Cold, Dark, Depressing, Soul-Crushing, Vacuumous, Pit of Harsh Reality
Maybe my disappointment with this game is partly my fault. I wasn't aware of the sarlacc pit of hype that is Peter Molyneux. I was thinking
"Fable 2 was really good, why can't Fable 3 be really good as well?"
. It was this line of thinking that allowed me to get caught up in the avalanche of hype surrounding
Fable 3
. It was only when I played this game that I realized how stupid I'd been. The first thing I realized was that the NPC's were all still the same couple of voices copy and pasted into different bodies. This should have been my first warning to stop playing but I ploughed on through regardless. It wan't until I noticed that shops had around 5 outfits and that the weapon morphing system was really half assed. This was when I started to doubt this game. The final straw came when I got into the king mode at the end. While Molyneux delivered on his promise for deep, interesting choices, that's basically all it is. Two different people come up to you with a choice each and you choose one. That's all, I was expecting to have to revitalise areas, carefully manage taxes to comply with the wealth of the area. Then the game had the gall to lie to me about how much time I have left, sometimes jumping a couple of months at a time. All I could think was "Why say that I have a year when I have, at best, a couple of months". What this led to was me making a choice, saying that I'll fix it later, only to find out that I didn't have as much time as the game said I did.
Ah Heavy Rain, while I think that this was the biggest crash of the Hype train, this section will be shorter than it could be simply because it's a very unique game and the only game I could compare it to would be
Indigo Prophecy
. That however is not an option because I played the first game for all of five minutes before going to do something else and never returning.
The Hype
Oh Heavy Rain, where do I start? Lets start with David Cage; As an aside, I want to point out that if David Cage played every character in Heavy Rain it would be an instant 10/10 for me but, sadly, David Cage does not play a part in this game. He did, however, play a huge part in the hype for this game. David Cage is the Emperor Palpatine to Peter Molyneux's Darth Vader and boy does he know how to hype a game. he appealed to me by, first of all, not talking about gameplay systems or graphics as his main selling points, but instead hyping the crap out of the story. The Cage promised me romance, he promised me thrills. But what The Cage promised me the most in was a deep and mature narrative with complex character arcs and a deep, engaging plot. The piece of hype that got me most exited about this game, however, was the choices; The choices in my imagination were on the level of
The Trolley Problem
with each and every decision made would have an influence on the overall plot which would make the narrative feel personal to me. The gameplay was pretty much ignored in the hype to make room for the story.
The Cold, Dark, Depressing, Soul-Crushing, Vacuumous, Pit of Harsh Reality
While in the hype the story was in the spotlight leaving the gameplay to skulk in the shadows, in the released product, the gameplay made the game playable at least (I wasn't a fan although I could see how someone would like it) with the story making it almost unbearable. The story was so bad, how could anyone think this has a good story? Were the critics giving it 10/10 stupid, paid off or scared of the PS3 fanboys, which admittedly are insane. I cannot honestly think why anyone would think that this narrative is acceptable, let alone a masterpiece as some outlets called it. There were red herrings everywhere, deus ex machina up the wazoo and plot holes about the size of the fucking moon. I could write an entire article dedicated to the sole purpose of smashing the shit out of the bad parts of Heavy Rain's story, but I have neither the time nor the inclination to do such a thing so let me say this; the romance was laughable and, at times, terrifying. While I admit I did occasionally enjoy the odd cheap thrill, there wasn't any good character arcs, most characters hadn't the faintest whiff of an arc. What really annoyed me about the characters was how insanely retarded they were. For example; what fucking kid doesn't know to not run off for no fucking reason and to never just blindly run into traffic? The kid deserved to die just for pure natural selection's sake. Another disappointment I had about the game however was that the choices were less like
The Trolley Problem
and more like "Did you react fast enough? Yes? THE PRIEST LIVES!" While I realize that they were consequences rather than choices but they disappointed me none the less. The most disappointing thing to me was of course the "ever expanding and personal narrative" that felt less like a deep, personal narrative and more of a choose your own adventure book.
Well thanks for pulling through and reading this, please tell me what you think ect. ect.
(P.S. I just thought of ridiculously hyping up the article in the opening paragraph and then making it shit for the rest
just to be meta

Florida Man Arrested For Protesting Red Light Cameras
Red light cameras are a hot topic across the Sunshine State, but rarely do they land someone in jail.
66-year-old Mark Schmidter was arrested Saturday in Apopka after an officer spotted him wearing a "Ban the Cams" sign around his neck and handing out flyers to drivers at the intersection of U.S. 441 and Park Avenue, according to the arrest report.

i like this guy....we need more like him.
So, I'm wondering...the rationale behind needing a permit for a large scale protest is because of the tendency to block traffic. What's the rationale behind requiring a permit to protest something all by yourself?
And how the HELL did it get past the court system?
This is a perfect example of the mentality of the police state. If he had been protesting something (nearly anything) else, they would have left him alone.
But he was protesting their ability to steal from us. He was protesting their ability to arbitrarily empty our wallets without actually having to do any work. He was protesting their ability to track our movements at a whim, on the off chance we step out of line.
And they're going to ruin him for it.

Entity Framework 4.1 - Validation
Validation is an interesting feature introduced in Entity Framework 4.1. It enables to validate entities or their properties automatically before trying to save them to the database as well as "on demand" by using property annotations. There are also a lot of improvements made to Validation from CTP5 to RTW version of Entity Framework 4.1.
Differing Opinions: DTOs vs Domain Objects
Since the introduction of NHibernate and WCF, .NET developers have been moving closer and closer to the concept of unified entity-models. The end game here is that the same class can be act as your ORM entity, your WCF DTO, and your model for a MVC, MVP, or MVVM framework. Mark Seemann, author of Dependency Injection in .NET, argues this isn't necessarily a good thing.
Introducing the Entity Framework Power Tools
The introduction of a Code First option in Entity Framework has received quite a bit of praise. While it still has a long way to go before it unseats the reigning ORM, nHibernate, the progress Microsoft is making is quite astounding. In order to keep the momentum up Microsoft is releasing a set of power tools that will take an existing database and create a Code First representation.
StackOverflow's ORM goes Open Source - Dapper.Net
A simple ORM used in StackOverflow titled Dapper.Net was recently released on code.google.com. This ORM specializes in fast generation of objects from SQL query results. Dapper.Net supports mapping query results to a strongly typed list or a list of dynamic objects. The ORM is a single file of less than 500 lines of C# code and is available under the Apache 2.0 License.
Entity Framework 4.1 gets DbContext API – but no Database Evolution, SPs or Cached queries
ADO.NET Entity Framework 4.1 is upon us – slated for a late April release, it will come with a whole set of new features, but not all of them are going to make it.

The overarching themes are emerging web technologies, cloud computing, and continued ease of use improvements including an overhaul to the JMS API. Elsewhere, JPA is scheduled to receive attention, and Oracle is talking about plans to revive the long dormant JCACHE JSR.
Introducing NHibernate 3.0
NHibernate 3.0 is the first major release of the popular ORM in over a year. With the release it has changed the CLR version to .NET 3.5. This allows the creation of the QueryOver API, while replaces the string-based ICriteria expressions with strongly typed lambda expressions. This is in addition to the built-in LINQ provider.
Eclipse Virgo Released
The inaugural version of Eclipse Virgo was released today, including the Eclipse Gemini Web component. Despite these being the first release under the Eclipse moniker, they are the natural evolution of the well-regarded Spring DM Server. Read on to find out what's important about this release.
The Latest NHibernate Developments
The latest NHibernate developments include: the release of NHibernate 3.0.0 Alpha 1, NHibernate Profiler supporting NHibernate 3.0, and HQL Language Service for Visual Studio.
WebSphere 7 Feature Pack Supports OSGi-based Application Deployment and SCA Integration
WebSphere Application Server V7 Feature Pack for OSGi Applications and Java Persistence API 2.0 offers a standards-based implementation of OSGi Blueprint Container specification and JPA 2.0. It also provides an optional feature to deploy and manage applications as versioned OSGi bundles.

OSGi DevCon London
Last week saw the first OSGi DevCon London, held in conjunction with JAX London in Hammersmith's Novotel. Topics included features from the upcoming OSGi Enterprise Expert Group publication, using and testing OSGi in the cloud, accessing objects through JPA on an OSGi system and how modularity can defeat complexity brought on by exponential software growth.
Debate: Comparing NHibernate and EF 4
Recently, a post by Oren Eini (a.k.a. Ayende Raheim) touched off a debate around the respective merits and capabilities of NHibernate and Entity Framework 4.0, two .NET-based Object/Relational Maping frameworks. InfoQ explored this debate in more detail to understand some of the perspectives which were given.
Spring 3.0: Java 5 Required, Adds New Expression Language and REST Support

- Stevenson Science Center 5326
- Open to the Public
Presenters: Luke P. Lee, Arnold and Barbara Silverman Distinguished Professor, Institute of Quantitative Biosciences, Department of Bioengineering and Biophysics Program, University of California, Berkeley
In the first part of talk, I will present biophotonic nano-satellites that have multiple functions: targeting, imaging, gene delivery & regulations in living systems. For the remote optical control of gene regulations and therapeutic applications, we have developed Oligonucleotides on a Nanoplasmonic Carrier Optical Switch (ONCOS). We also accomplished photonic gene circuits that utilized RNA-medicated gene silencing to multistep bidirectional control of specific gene expression by taking advantage of the tunability of the longitudinal plasmon resonance wavelength in gold optical nanoantennas.
In the second part of talk, I will discuss (1) cellular BASICs (Biologic Application Specific Integrated Circuits) for single stem cell analysis, dynamic cell culture array, and self-powered integrated microfluidic blood analysis system; (2) Biologically inspired 3D tissue chips: disease-specific integrated microphysiological human tissue models via normal and patient-specific human induced pluripotent stem cells for drug development and safety; (3) Integrated Molecular Diagnostic Systems (iMDx) for global healthcare. In summary, I will share my vision for the convergence of science, engineering, and medicine to transform life sciences, and finding the solutions for preventive personalized medicine and low-cost healthcare systems.

A Clinton man is facing methamphetamine charges after allegedly stealing $54.93 of merchandise from Wal-Mart on March 1.
Brett T. Ashley, 27, 100 N. Third St., is charged with four counts of possession of methamphetamine precursors, one count of possession of drug paraphernalia and one count of fifth-degree theft. His preliminary hearing is set for 9 a.m. Tuesday.
According to court documents, Clinton police were dispatched to Wal-Mart, 2715 S. 25th St., on March 1 for a shoplifter in custody. Alicia Williams from loss preventions advised the officer that she observed Ashley select and conceal $54.93 worth of merchandise and leave without making any attempt to pay, according to the affidavit.
During a search of Ashley, officers found a small nylon bag containing various items of drug paraphernalia, including syringes, a burnt spoon, razor blades and a small vile containing water, according to the affidavit. Court documents continue to state that Ashley stole Coleman camping fuel, lithium batteries, cold compresses containing ammonium nitrate and Glycerine, which contains 99.5 percent anhydrous. The arresting officer's experience and training told him these are items used for manufacturing meth, according to the affidavit.
According to court documents. Ashley allegedly admitted that all items he stole were going to be used in manufacturing meth and stated he had been present at a one pot or "shake and bake" meth cook in Clinton as recently as Feb. 27. According to the affidavit, he also allegedly admitted to last using meth on Feb. 28 and described himself as an intravenous drug user of meth, showing the officer the sites of injections on his arms.
Ashley was also arrested on a warrant for failure to appear for theft.

Oxidant Lung Injury/Acute Lung Injury Respiratory PhysiologyI have two main areas of research that relate to the mechanisms of oxidant injury and respiratory physiology. In the first, we are using the reverse genetic tools available in yeast to model mechanisms of oxidant injury and oxygen regulated gene expression. In the second, we are characterizing the human molybdenum hydroxylase multi-gene family, a group of oxygen free radical generations that have been linked to several free radical diseases in humans. We are exploring the pathobiological consequences of free radical generation from the MH genes in lung and other organ systems.

This is an edscellent product for the shower or bath for your body. I have been using this product in its many different scents ahd flavors for many years. My makor complaint is the way it is packaged and as a result, we have a mess on our hands because tops are not tight and so we ahve gel shampoo and conditioner all over everything. The company needs to do something baout this .

Composite Active Site of an ABC ATPase
Molecular Cell, Volume 7, Issue 1, 1 January 2001, Pages 1-12
Murray S. Junop, Galina Obmolova, Kelly Rausch, Peggy Hsieh and Wei Yang
SummaryThe MutS protein initiates DNA mismatch repair by recognizing mispaired and unpaired bases embedded in duplex DNA and activating endo- and exonucleases to remove the mismatch. Members of the MutS family also possess a conserved ATPase activity that belongs to the ATP binding cassette (ABC) superfamily. Here we report the crystal structure of a ternary complex of MutS-DNA-ADP and assays of initiation of mismatch repair in conjunction with perturbation of the composite ATPase active site by mutagenesis. These studies indicate that MutS has to bind both ATP and the mismatch DNA simultaneously in order to activate the other mismatch repair proteins. We propose that the MutS ATPase activity plays a proofreading role in DNA mismatch repair, verification of mismatch recognition, and authorization of repair.

The Coordinated Functions of the E. coli MutS and MutL Proteins in Mismatch Repair
Molecular Cell, Volume 12, Issue 1, 1 July 2003, Pages 233-246
Samir Acharya, Patricia L. Foster, Peter Brooks and Richard Fishel
SummaryThe Escherichia coli MutS and MutL proteins have been conserved throughout evolution, although their combined functions in mismatch repair (MMR) are poorly understood. We have used biochemical and genetic studies to ascertain a physiologically relevant mechanism for MMR. The MutS protein functions as a regional lesion sensor. ADP-bound MutS specifically recognizes a mismatch. Repetitive rounds of mismatch-provoked ADP→ATP exchange results in the loading of multiple MutS hydrolysis-independent sliding clamps onto the adjoining duplex DNA. MutL can only associate with ATP-bound MutS sliding clamps. Interaction of the MutS-MutL sliding clamp complex with MutH triggers ATP binding by MutL that enhances the endonuclease activity of MutH. Additionally, MutL promotes ATP binding-independent turnover of idle MutS sliding clamps. These results support a model of MMR that relies on two dynamic and redundant ATP-regulated molecular switches.

ATP Alters the Diffusion Mechanics of MutS on Mismatched DNA
Structure, Volume 20, Issue 7, 3 July 2012, Pages 1264-1274
Won-Ki Cho, Cherlhyun Jeong, Daehyung Kim, Minhyeok Chang, Kyung-Mi Song, Jeungphill Hanne, Changill Ban, Richard Fishel and Jong-Bong Lee
SummaryThe mismatch repair (MMR) initiation protein MutS forms at least two types of sliding clamps on DNA: a transient mismatch searching clamp (∼1 s) and an unusually stable (∼600 s) ATP-bound clamp that recruits downstream MMR components. Remarkably, direct visualization of single MutS particles on mismatched DNA has not been reported. We have combined real-time particle tracking with fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to image MutS diffusion dynamics on DNA containing a single mismatch. We show searching MutS rotates during diffusion independent of ionic strength or flow rate, suggesting continuous contact with the DNA backbone. In contrast, ATP-bound MutS clamps that are visually and successively released from the mismatch spin freely around the DNA, and their diffusion is affected by ionic strength and flow rate. These observations show that ATP binding alters the MutS diffusion mechanics on DNA, which has a number of implications for the mechanism of MMR.

Error correction in gene synthesis technology
Siying Ma1, Ishtiaq Saaem1, 2 and Jingdong Tian1, 2,
1 Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708, USA
2 Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tianjin 300308, China
Accurate, economical and high-throughput gene and genome synthesis is essential to the development of synthetic biology and biotechnology. New large-scale gene synthesis methods harnessing the power of DNA microchips have recently been demonstrated. Yet, the technology is still compromised by a high occurrence of errors in the synthesized products. These errors still require substantial effort to correct. To solve this bottleneck, novel approaches based on new chemistry, enzymology or next generation sequencing have emerged. This review discusses these new trends and promising strategies of error filtration, correction and prevention in de novo gene and genome synthesis. Continued innovation in error correction technologies will enable affordable and large-scale gene and genome synthesis in the near future.

Northside's Nelson Signs with OSU | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Just in time for Christmas, one Central Georgia student athlete received the gift of continued education, while continuing to play the sport he loves.
2011 Northside graduate and football standout Steven Nelson signed a letter of intent to play football at Oregon State in Corvallis.
Two years ago the defensive back settled in at College of the Sequoias, a junior college in California. Because of his hard work on the field and in the classroom, several D1 programs came a calling including USC, Oregon, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Baylor, Texas Tech, Kansas, Houston, Fresno State, Washington State, Mizzou and Georgia. Although Nelson says he is glad to be home in the Peach State to visit for Christmas, the Northwest is a better fit for him.
Nelson is listed in the ESPN top 100 Junior College transfers at No. 19 and the top cornerback of that bunch.

Best Things Nearby:Las Vegas Strip (about 25 mins), Local shops (including Costco). Best Things About the Resort:The pool with waterfall. Resort Experience:When checking in - it is very obvious that this resort was originally built as apartments which have been converted to timeshare. The quality of workmanship is very poor (sounds between apartments easily heard), etc. Our first apartment had a broken shower door (just standing in the bathroom) and an extremely uncomfortable sofa bed. We were then moved to an apartment on a busy road which was awful. The next day, we were taken care of and moved to an apartment with closer proximity to the pool which was much nicer but still not of the quality of other similar resorts. The sofa beds, overall, are inadequate and really not of high enough standard for somebody to sleep on for a week. Other resorts we have stayed in - the sofa bed has been almost as good as the permanent beds. With a larger party - it is important that the sofa beds do not leave the people sleeping on them with back problems. Pro: Very nice landscaping/pool. Apartments spacious and clean but not of same quality as other rated resorts. Con: Sound proofing bad. Some staff very good, others very unfriendly. Gym inadequate - poor selection of weights, and just a couple of treadmills/bikes. They should have at least one elliptical machine (2 would be better). They have provided much more space to those selling the timeshares for a sister resort than for those wanting to exercise while on vacation. The worst - which I say to all of these timeshare resorts - is please catch up with the times and provide decent Internet services. The tiny, overheated Internet room in the main building was constantly full and very uncomfortable to work in. At the very least - they should provide a wireless network for the main building so people can sit comfortably but it wouldn't be that difficult to provide fast Internet directly to the rooms (or wireless) even at a cost so people can be with their friends/families even if they do need to do some work on vacation. This is something that needs to be addressed by all RCI resorts and quickly. Service was varied. Danny is worth a special mention as being excellent but many of the other staff were not friendly and even officious at times.

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet certified in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Send Zakia a message explaining your needs and you will receive a response by email.
If selected, WyzAnt will ask interested tutors to contact you by email if they are able to help. A maximum of five different tutors will email you and none of your personal information, including your email address, will be released.
All of Zakia's current tutoring subjects are listed at the left. You can read more about Zakia's qualifications in specific subjects below.
Elementary Mathematics Course Description:In this subject matter and according to the California standards as defined by the State Board of Education, the curriculum in mathematics requires that students develop understanding and mastery in Math concepts, their applications, and problem solving strategies. Students will learn the concepts and develop skills in applying them. Students learn to use basic computations (such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and divisions) as well as more complex strategies to solve problems. Learners will work with such concepts as decimals, fractions, measurements, perimeter, volume, mass, time, area, geometrical shapes, graphing, interactions with money, etc. It is imperative that students develop also logical and analytical thinking skills as applied to mathematics.
Besides being a native French Speaker, all my K-12 education was conducted in French. As a university student, the department of Humanities exposed me to a wide range of academic and intellectual opportunities. I chose teaching world languages.After having taught English and French at the elementary levels, for a while, I decided to return to academics and acquire a second master's degree. My Master of Education in World Language instruction is providing me with the theoretical knowledge and pedagogical skills to teach French with a more advanced expertise. My long French teaching experience is rewarding because I am able to pass on to my students not only linguistic and cultural knowledge but also the love of learning and communicating with other people beyond geographical boundaries.
I am qualified and experienced in teaching Reading, comprehension of text, and Language Arts in grades K-6. I foster students' development of proficiency in reading a large variety of texts, acquire interest and fluency in reading for learning as well as for pleasure. I provide standard-based instruction by adopting California standards in teaching Reading. I teach and help students acquire basic understanding of the features of reading, such as word analysis, fluency, and vocabulary acquisition. I scaffold students' learning till they are able to read fluently and understand grade-level appropriate literature. I teach them to respond to comprehension questions, analyze elements of literature and text structures, as well as develop critical thinking.Developing reading skills is imperative in building literacy and ensuring further learning.
