Privacy Framework
To build consumer trust in health information technology ("health IT"), we need a comprehensive privacy and security framework that sets out clear parameters for access, use, and disclosure of personal health information for all entities engaged in e-health. Such a framework includes core privacy principles based on fair information practices, but also incorporates trusted network design characteristics and strong oversight and accountability.

Oh, and the theme of the night was Goth.
Also, I might be turning into Marie from "Breaking Bad".
the frisky
Let me ask you if that question would ever in one million years be asked about a young man like Justin Bieber or Nick Jonas or Taylor Lautner? Of course not. Because they are men. They and their man-testosterone are supposed to play the field.
Her love songs are great, but her breakup songs are the best breakup songs I've ever heard. They make your pain seem epic and noble –- like you're the last person with a heart of gold left in a world of unbelievable idiots.
Everyone's furious that Taylor Swift doesn't consider herself a feminist. I say: Leave the girl alone.
The awesome beauty products, new and old, that helped me survive the drudgeries of this weird-ass year.
I've never seen a bad picture of this girl.

I have a sort of odd fascination with Taylor Swift, and this new perfume isn't helping.

With 18 water parks and a population of 2,690, the tiny town of Wisconsin Dells, Wis., rightfully proclaims itself the "water park capital of the world." That's about one water park for every 150 people in town. Noah's Ark, the best known of the bunch, boasts 51 slides including the Black Anaconda water coaster and the Scorpion's Tail looping slide. Billed as "America's largest water park," Noah's Ark also features a shoot-the-chutes water ride and a dive-in movie theater.

A cooking technique in which food is placed in a plastic bag, vacuum-packed, and usually cooked slowly in warm water. Also: cryovacking.
—Cryovack v.
—Cryovack v.
Example Citations:
A few weeks ago at Per Se, Thomas Keller's four-star restaurant in New York City, a waiter set a salad of diced watermelon and hearts of peach palm in front of me. ''This is watermelon that has been Cryovacked,'' he explained. ...
''Cryovacking'' is an industry term for putting food in a plastic bag and vacuum-packing it. Sometimes the food is then cooked in the bag. Other times, the pressure of the packing process is used to infuse flavors into ingredients. The watermelon, for instance, was vacuum-packed with 20 pounds of pressure per square centimeter, to compact the fruit's cells and concentrate its flavor. It had the texture of meat. Just the thing for backyard picnics.
—Amanda Hesser, "Under Pressure," The New York Times, August 14, 2005
Sous Vide: Traditionalist chefs maintain that this fashionable cooking technique detracts from the texture of the food. Who knows. But doesn't Cryovacking a piece of chicken in a plastic bag, then cooking it over low heat for half a day sound slightly insane?
—Adam Platt, "The 2005 Overrated List," New York Magazine, January 3, 2006
—Adam Platt, "The 2005 Overrated List," New York Magazine, January 3, 2006
Earliest Citation:
Meat should age between 14 and 21 days, Romberg says. After that, it can develop an acidic taste. Some butchers dry age meat in lockers, but this can shrink meat up to 20 per cent and boost prices. With wet aging, or Cryovacking, shrinkage is about 1 per cent.
—Amy Pataki, "Rib-eye leads straight to heart," The Toronto Star, February 14, 2001
—Amy Pataki, "Rib-eye leads straight to heart," The Toronto Star, February 14, 2001
This term appears to come from combining the prefix cryo- (freezing, cold) and the variant form vack (from vacuum). However, there doesn't seem to be any requirement that the food be cold (much less frozen) before it's vacuum-packed, so why the cryo- prefix? And why the uppercase C in so many citations? Perhaps we should just stick with the more popular European term for the same process: sous vide, a French phrase meaning "in a vaccum" (literally, "under empty").

The Fuming Fuji is outraged at the marketing of toxic food, especially when it's aimed at the small fry. This week, the Fuming Fuji has decided to have a serious problem with chocolate milk.
But, Fuming Fuji, you ask, isn't chocolate milk sometimes the only way to get calcium in a kid?
The Fuming Fuji says no!
The claim: Chocolate milk has all the protein, calcium and vitamins of regular milk, and kids love it!
The catch: Chocolate milk has all the protein, calcium and vitamins of regular milk, plus it's full of sugar!
The comeback: So it has a little sweetening. At least it's getting kids to drink their milk, right?
The conclusion: The Fuming Fuji cannot help those who believe in glorified dessert for tiny tots. Chocolate milk is a very mean thing to give your child. Milk is also mean, though admittedly not as delicious. Chocolate milk: all the fat, hormones and antibiotics of regular milk, plus sugar!
The catchphrase: Cow's milk is for baby cows. Chocolate cow's milk is for fat baby cows.
Disclaimer: Mark Sisson and the Worker Bees do not necessarily endorse the views of the Fuming Fuji.

Today's Smart Fuel isn't any particular item. Instead, let's address the real topic at hand: the mountain of Thanksgiving leftovers lurking in the fridge. Perhaps you really indulged yesterday and felt more like a stuffed turkey yourself than a human about to eat one. Or, perhaps you were the model of restraint. No need to reveal which one.
For the weekend, for everyone, the smartest way to fuel up is to give away the sweets, get in a few good workouts, and enjoy the turkey. High in protein and some good fats, turkey is a fairly healthy choice (certainly in comparison to pie, candied yams and stuffing).
I don't want to be responsible for any Pilgrims turning over in their graves here, but I'm always a little amused (no…annoyed) at what Thanksgiving has become. Why can't we have a holiday where we all get together and exercise? Or make food for the homeless? Or how about a potluck where everyone has to bring a new, undiscovered healthy food?
If Americans didn't already eat like it were Thanksgiving every single day (as many do…look at the portions at most restaurants), I'd say dig in, gobble, and don't wear your belt. Unfortunately, I don't see many belts at all these days.

I have to hand it to Taco Bell for being both devastatingly brilliant and unforgivably evil. In a new campaign called the Fourth Meal, they're pumping the fourth meal (yes…"the meal between dinner and breakfast") with a dazzling disregard for health, ethics, decency and taste.
Normally, I tend to admire rebels and rule-breakers. I don't exactly have best friends over at Big Pharma. And I understand Taco Bell isn't in business to kiss babies and hug Aunt Sue. Taco Bell is in business for the same reason everyone else is: to make some cash. Hopefully, you can make some cash while doing something good. Not so with el Taco. To that end, their marketers are brilliant.
Running a late-night campaign obviously aimed at college kids, night owls and (let's be frank) bar flies – and being so blatantly cavalier about – is smart business.
The website is so cool, it's appalling. At the site, viewers can choose to enter as a hip young man or woman. Next up, you pick trendy threads to wear. You navigate a late-night, funky urban street. Via a glossy black virtual handheld device (of course), you can talk, make buddies, and play – you can become a "Fourth Mealer".
That's right: Taco Bell is pushing an entire online community a la MySpace, Friendster, Squidoo (and your very own Mark's Daily Apple) devoted entirely to feeling cool about scarfing a late night meal complete with the Taco Bell version of the four food groups: Melty, Crunchy, Spicy, Grilled.
Hey, I was a college kid once; maybe you were, too. We've all had a wild night (or ten) at some point in our lives. I don't hold anything against Taco Bell for wanting to make a buck. In fact, I advocate a fourth meal – in the sense that I advocate several small meals throughout the day to maintain appropriate blood sugar levels and keep the metabolism firing full speed ahead.
But let's consider, just for a second, if Taco Bell could have done something different. Kids are smart. They also like to rebel against authority. Don't we all?
What if Taco Bell had incorporated a few healthy items into their menu, marketed them as still being tasty (surely the food chemists can handle that order), and gone with the whole Fourth Meal campaign anyway. Only, instead of advocating the late-night consumption of complete garbage, pitching the healthy Fourth Meal as something only college kids and night owls would really "get".
Taco Bell: "Hey, it's late. The parental units are home in bed and feeling great about their three squares. Your boss thinks you're still at the office and your professor thinks you're studying for that exam. Right. All the nerds are probably reading and listening to Beethoven. But you need a little veg, a little protein, and a little taste – now. So you're eating a cheap, fast, healthy meal because you have a life. You're a fourth-mealer. You either get it or you don't."

Researchers at Orchard University are burning the midnight oil as they attempt to determine how a single slice of the Cheesecake Factory's carrot cake contains more calories than any of the combo "pick a number" meals at McDonald's.
A professor leading the study quietly admitted to our reporters that we are probably closer to an understanding of string theory than a conclusive answer to what has been dubbed the "Carrot Cake Conundrum". The professor has asked to remain anonymous to avoid jeopardizing her standing in the scientific community. "It's the elephant in the room. No one wants to admit that we may never have an answer."
The slice of carrot cake, which at 1 lb. weighs a lot more than even the largest of carrots, contains 1,560 calories. That's well within the range of satisfying most people's daily caloric intake needs. And it's over twice the amount of calories in the Factory's Original Cheesecake (a mere 710 calories).
Further confounding to the researchers is the fact that the cake does not appear to contain much carrot at all. The main ingredients are corn oil, cream cheese, eggs, butter, palm oil, butter, and hydrogenated palm oil. With 84 grams of fat crammed into six inches of sweetness, this dessert truly takes the cake.
The Cheesecake Factory does not reveal calories willingly – you really have to dig. Fortunately, there's Google. Search "Cheesecake Factory nutrition information" and you'll find lots of Factory quotes that all boil down to some variation of the following:
"Thank you for your interest in The Cheesecake Factory. Because we change our recipes and menu often, we do not currently have nutrition information for our menu selections.
Guest Services for The Cheesecake Factory Restaurants, Inc."
I think the more appropriate quote should be:
"Thank you for your interest in The Cheesecake Factory. Because we change our recipes and menu often, we [insert lie here]."
Here's the Clickativity.

Search for native plants by scientific name, common name or family. If you are not sure what you are looking for, try the Combination Search or our Recommended Species lists.
The branched stems, from 1-3 ft. tall bear two or three large compound leaves, each thrice divided. Leaflets are deeply saw-toothed. Above the foliage are dense, globular clusters of small white flowers. Fruit is an attractive but poisonous, white berry.
This plant is sometimes called Dolls Eyes because the shiny white fruits resemble the china eyes once used in dolls. A red-fruited form of this species is distinguished from the otherwise similar Red Baneberry (A. rubra) by its thick floral stalk.

Shaking for Suds: Which Type of Water is the Hardest?
Do you want your hair to be shiny after you wash it? Do you want your clothes to stay bright and soft after laundering, and last a long time? You might think that a special shampoo or detergent can make this happen, but in this chemistry science fair project, you'll discover that how well people and things get clean has a lot more to do with the type of water used for washing than any special shampoo or soap. Did you know that water can be classified as either soft or hard? Soft water lathers and cleans better than hard water. Using this clue, you'll test different common water types to figure out which type is the softest and which is the hardest.Objective
To determine the relative hardness of different common water types.

Do you love to take a bubble bath filled with thick, hissing suds that you can sink down into? Do you like to take those bubbles and coat yourself from head to toe with white foam until you look like old man winter? Or do you sculpt the bubbles into towers and mountains, or hide your bath toys in them, so that your toys can't get eaten by an evil shark?
Figure 1. This photo shows rubber duckies enjoying a bubbly bath. (Wikimedia, 2006.) |
However you enjoy your bath bubbles, you might be surprised to learn that when you pour a small amount of liquid bubble soap into the water coming out of your faucet, the amount of bubbles you can make depends upon the hardness of your water. You might be thinking "What? Water isn't hard! You can easily put your hand down into it, right?" That's true, but the term hardness, when used to talk about water has a different kind of meaning. Hardness is a word that geologists and other water scientists, like hydrologists, use to describe how many tiny particles of minerals are in the water.
Minerals are the building blocks of rocks. Minerals are not made by people, but by nature. If you've ever seen a diamond, emerald, or a ruby, you've seen a special and expensive kind of mineral, called a gem. In water, the common minerals that you will find are calcium and magnesium cations (pronounced CAT-eye-un). Cations are atoms that are missing some of their electrons (the negatively charged parts of an atom).
Figure 2. This photo shows examples of beautiful minerals. (Mila Zinkova, 2007). |
How do these minerals get into water? To understand this, you first need to know a little bit about acids and bases. Pure water is neutral, which means it is not acidic or basic; however, rainwater is slightly acidic, like orange juice. As this slightly acidic rainwater passes through mineral deposits, like the calcium-containing limestone that was used to build the Great Pyramids of Egypt, it reacts with the minerals and changes them into a form that can be dissolved in water, just as you can dissolve a spoonful of sugar in a glass of water. In this way, calcium and magnesium cations get into the water supply.
Is the hardness of water the same everywhere? No, take a look at the map below of the United States from the United States Geological Survey. The areas in deep blue are where the water is the "softest," with low levels of dissolved minerals in the water. The areas in medium blue and white have greater levels of dissolved minerals, and the levels in red are areas where the water is the hardest, with high levels of calcium and magnesium cations in the water. So, if you live in states like Maine, Vermont, the Carolinas, Alabama, or Georgia, you might have never even heard of hard water, but if you live in states like Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, or west Texas, hard water is something you deal with every day.
Figure 3. This map of the United States shows by color where water levels are hardest and softest. The red areas have the most dissolved calcium cations in the water and the hardest water, while the dark blue areas have the least dissolved calcium cations in the water, and therefore the softest water. (USGS, 2005.) |
What happens when you have hard water? Well, the harder the water (the more calcium and magnesium hardness minerals you have in the water), the more soap or detergent you need to get things clean. So, if you live in an area with hard water and you want to wash your clothes, dishes, or yourself, it will be harder to get these things clean than if you live in an area with soft water—water without a lot of dissolved minerals. Hard water interferes or reduces lathering (the formation of suds or bubbles). Because of hard water, a film can build up on shower doors and walls, or bath tubs, sinks, and faucets. Hair washed with hard water might look less shiny than hair washed with soft water. Clothing fabrics might be dull, gray, and scratchy, and wear out more quickly. Finally, water pipes in your house, and appliances that use water might not work very well over time because of build-up of hard water deposits. Is it bad to have hard water? No. In fact, the minerals in hard water are thought to contribute to human health. Hard water is mainly just a bother when it comes to cleaning, or in keeping pipes and water-using appliances working well.
So, how do you measure the hardness of water? There are chemistry kits that will tell you approximately how many tiny parts of calcium and magnesium you have in your water, but in this chemistry science fair project, you are going to use liquid soap to compare the hardness of different kinds of water. You will see how much soap you need for each water type to create a bubbly lather of the same height for each.

Preparing Your Shaking Jars
- If your jars have measurement marks on the side, then you do not need to make any level marks on your jars with a marker. Instead, identify two measurement marks on your jars:
- Find one measurement mark that is about one-third of the way up the jar. Write down which measurement mark you chose in your lab notebook. This will be the measurement mark you use to fill up the jar with water.
- Find a second measurement mark that is close to the lid of the jar. Write down the measurement mark that you found in your lab notebook. This will be the measurement mark you use to measure the height of the bubbles.
- Label the jars with the marker:
- You can write down 1, 2, or 3, or write the name of each water type on a different jar, so that you can keep track of which type of water is inside each jar.
- You can now go on to the next section, Preparing to Test.
- If your jars do not have measurement marks on the side, you will make some measurement marks using a ruler and a marker, so that you can compare the height of the bubbles in each jar.
- Using the marker, make a mark on a jar about one-third of the way up the side of the jar.
- Set the jar on a table and measure the distance from the table to the mark and write your measurement in your lab notebook.
- Using the measurement you wrote down and a ruler, mark the other two jars at the same height. This will be the mark you use to fill your jars with water.
- Now make a mark on a jar just a bit below the lid.
- Set the jar on the table and again measure the distance from the table to the mark below the lid. Write your measurement in your lab notebook.
- Using this second measurement and a ruler, mark the other two jars at the same height. This will be the mark you use to measure the final height of the bubbles in the shaking jar.
- Label the jars with the marker.
- You can write down 1, 2, or 3, or write the name of each water type on a different jar, so that you can keep track of which type of water is inside each jar.
Preparing to Test
- Fill each shaking jar to the first level mark using the appropriate type of water. For example, put distilled water in jar 1, bottled drinking water in jar 2, and tap water in jar 3.
- Get down so that you are eye-level with the mark as you are filling the jar.
- Create a data table in your lab notebook, like the one below:
Water Type | Distilled Water | Bottled Mineral Water | Tap Water |
Trial 1 | |||
Trial 2 | |||
Trial 3 | |||
Average of trials |
Testing Your Waters
Important Notes Before You Begin Testing:
- If you are using glass jars, safety goggles are recommended in case you drop a jar while shaking it and it breaks.
- To test your waters, you will add liquid soap, drop by drop, and shake the jars in between the addition of the drops. You will need to decide how many times you want to shake the jar in between the additions of the drops of liquid soap. The most important thing is to shake the jar the same way every time you test. Don't shake it harder or longer at some times than at others. Also, don't wait too long after shaking to add the next drop of soap, since the bubbles will start to pop if they are left to stand.
- Before you start testing, put the lid on a jar, and, without adding any liquid soap, practice shaking it up and down a few times. Figure out a number of times to shake the jar up and down that feels comfortable to you. It can be three times, five times, or whatever you think is best. Write down in your lab notebook the number of shakes you chose for testing.
- If using glass jars, put on your safety goggles.
- Add a drop of liquid soap to the jar containing distilled water.
- Put the lid on the jar.
- Shake the jar up and down the number of times that you chose in your practice.
- Set the jar on the table and see if the level of bubbles has reached the second measurement mark.
- If the bubbles have not reached the second measurement mark, then take off the lid, add another drop of liquid soap to the jar, and go back to step 3.
- If the bubbles have reached the second measurement mark, then stop testing and write down in your lab notebook the total number of drops of liquid soap that you added to the jar.
- Repeat steps 3–7 for the jar containing bottled mineral water.
- Repeat steps 3–7 for the jar containing tap water.
- Rinse your jars out thoroughly with tap water, dry them, and refill them to the first measure mark with the appropriate type of water.
- Repeat steps 1–10 two more times, so that you have a total of three trials for each jar. Repeating the trials ensures your results are accurate and repeatable.
Analyzing Your Data Table
- Calculate the average number of liquid soap drops that were required to reach the second measurement mark for each type of water. To get the average of the three trials, add up the results for trial 1, trial 2, and trial 3, and then divide by 3. Ask an adult if you need help with this step.
- Make a bar chart showing the average number of drops of liquid soap that were required. You can make the chart by hand or use a website like Create a Graph to make the graph on a computer and print it out.
- Looking at your chart, which type of water required the fewest number of liquid soap drops to make the bubbles reach the second measurement mark? Which type of water required the most? Which type of water do you think is the hardest? Which type do you think is the softest?

Bronte Pistachio Cream
A nut-lover's sweet dream.
Bronte is a little town of 20,000 just west of Mt Etna in Sicily. It's got exactly one great claim to fame: pistachios. Purple-skinned, vibrantly green, full flavored pistachios. Almost any serious gelateria in Italy uses them – look for pistacci di Bronte – and they're a prized ingredient for torrone. This pistachio cream is decadently sweet, tasting simply of ground pistachios. The consistency is sultry smooth.
It's an enticing addition to Farm Bread toast, sauces, waffles, mixed into Irish oatmeal, or drizzled over fresh ricotta.
If you know someone that's even remotely interested in pistachios, this will blow them out of the water.

I'd like to know what is Stephen King's IQ.
Under the Dome is a fabulous book but I think SK was getting paid by the page. Nearly 1/3 of the book is gobblygook, look at my education, have you little people even heard these words, won't my HS English teacher be proud. But you'll recognize those parts -- just skip them like you would with any other book.
I think you need to go back and reread what you wrote here. If 1/3 of the book is "gobblygook" then it is not a fabulous books. Great books are not only 66% acceptable. That would be a solid "D" grade on a report card. You can't (or at least you shouldn't) compliment the book and then proceed to insult it. This is what is known as a mixed message. It comes across as if you put that first, fake compliment there to try and sound like a nice guy before you get mean. It doesn't work. It is like saying, "you look great but man have you gained weight."
Absolutely loved the book. I read it in 5 days. The character development are vintage King. This is now one of my favorite books.
I finally started reading UTD. Had a hard time balancing this heavy brick while reading in bed, so it's at work now. I take a few nips from it during slow parts in the day. Figure I should have it finished by late 2012.

Reply to this commentI think that this is a wonderful experiment. And I think it is great on all levels. On one hand the wonderful graceful techy elements were elequently put together and made viewing and interacting very enjoyable. And on the other hand a social experiment has been launched to bring light to a very important social issue. I hope that everyone involved keeps on the pursuit of these goals. No matter what ones social/economic status is Everyone deserves a happy home. No matter where that home is. Keep up the great work!!
Reply to this commentI really enjoyed the interactive features of the experiment. They implemented 3d elements AND at the same time included a large group of artists AND informed people of something they might not think about when contemplating a concrete building. I feel like there were some quick judgements on this project.

My crew and I are particularly enthused about the resurgence of tweed and corduroy pants this fall. Pulling off a pair of grown-ass pants is easy. Swap these in for your work time khakis or date night blue jeans and you are already driving a better car on the road of life.
For a modern cool guy look, you want something on the slimmer side but with some room around the calves and thighs to let the pants drape (hang) properly. Look for a waistline that hits closer to your belly button than your hips. This creates a longer leg line and will also not force anyone to look at your ass crack should you need to pick up a dropped napkin at dinner. Win.
Freemans Sporting Club cuts a very handsome model in a textured brown tweed that you can build lots and lots of outfits around. You can pair it with a button-down oxford shirt and a V-neck sweater for dates and dinners or a gray crew-neck sweatshirt for a swag Ivy League weekend look.
Another dependable option is a pair of medium wale (wale: width of the vertical bits) corduroys. Ralph Lauren Rugby makes a great model that sits well on the hips and seat but leaves you some room below the knee. At under $90, they look and feel much better than they need to. They come in red or yellow for the "go to hell" peacocks and also in navy or tan for the sensible yet assertive man.

Embracing cost-effective measures in the face of the economic downturn
By Brad Heath
Sitting amid the corporate giants on the dais at the Progressive Manufacturing Summit this June should have been a humbling experience. On my right was an executive from Dow Chemical, and to my left were representatives of Cisco Systems and General Dynamics.
My organization, VirTex Assembly Services grosses a small fraction of the revenue of those companies.
Yet given the topic—"Defining the Way Forward: Strategies for Navigating through Troubled Times"—and the performance of our employees over the last year, I felt as if we could speak as authoritatively as anyone else could on the topic.
I had no idea two days later we would win Progressive Manufacturer of the Year for our work on a project that made us a more cost-efficient manufacturer.
The project is the Cooperative Global Competition Initiative. For several years, we have watched our customers leave the U.S. in favor of cheaper labor when the need for more products increased.
The theory was the cost of labor overseas would ultimately trump the logistical and other costs associated with transporting the product back to the U.S.
Along the way, however, these customers gave up flexibility when it came to lead times and the ability to respond to fluctuating demand.
Nevertheless, we were willing to watch this trend play out, until last year when the ruggedized laptop we were building for one of our customers was selected to be private labeled by a Fortune 50 company. We were determined to find a way to keep the business.
In order to keep this business, we knew we had to be competitive in price, while at the same time offer a level of agility that our customer could not get overseas. We enlisted the help of our customer in defining a new business model that would offer the delivery times the OEM expected in its highest volume products from other suppliers for a custom niche product that would be much more sporadic in demand.
There was no existing business model in our industry for this, so instead we turned to Toyota's principles of lean manufacturing and supplier partnerships. Working in tandem with our customer's supply chain group and with full open book pricing, we identified the mix of local, domestic, and offshore partners who were the best choice for each assembly component. We then selected suppliers with an emphasis on total cost of acquisition rather than price quote alone. Shipping cost, lead-time, and cost of capital were all a part of the model.
We developed a web-based, paperless documentation and tracking system, which enabled full product traceability. This project helped us grow revenue by 58% in 2008, while improving manufacturing cycle times by 25%.
We shifted to a four-day workweek. This idea actually came from the employee base. By initiating a staggered workweek, we were able to save energy costs. It also helped insulate our employees from rising fuel and energy costs.
We embraced university labor. Last year, we started working with the University of Texas having their graduate level engineering students take on projects for us. These were students well trained in lean manufacturing, who were able to evaluate and recommend new and innovative ways of doing things.
We cut operational expenses. We re-examined things like our dumpster hauls, and number of dumpsters. By implementing the principles of reduce, reuse, and recycle, we realized we could save thousands of dollars a month by reducing the amount of the times the trucks needed to come by our plant in a week.
We reused materials. We began examining the process by which we receive materials and ship product and realized that rather than disposing of some packaging materials, we could move them over to the shipping area and use them again.
The key is a company and employee attitude to saving money for our customers and ourselves. Shared goals and objectives allow everyone to function as a team and be more successful. To make this process effective, it does not matter whether you are a giant like Dow, General Dynamics, and Cisco, or a much smaller company.

I did not mean I personally need this questions answered; I think I know quite a lot about this time, from school, books etc.
But that does not mean there is no reason literature (or comics) should not address this topics; in fact, what I meant is that Ultimates seems to suggest misleading answers, even if certainly no one will take the aliens stuff seriously.
I totally disagree. Germany certainly had no need for expansion; they would have liked an empire like Britain, sure, but this myth of an "nation without space" was just a crazy fantasy of fanatics like Hitler.
In the second half of the 1920s, Germanys economy was quite healthy again, only after the stock exchange crash of 1930 it collapsed again.
And the german government even secretly decided not to fight this very much so that they could pretend the country was now so poor that they were not able to continue the payments of the treaty of Versailles - but this caused mass-poverty which helped Hitler.
But there were a lot of other reasons for Hitler's rise, many of them caused by the way Bismarck unified Germany after the war with France in 1870/71. This victory was glorified in an extreme way, so that most people expected another easy victory in 1914 and were not able to accept the defeat.
The glorification of Bismarck, and the fact that democracy was not popular in germany at that time, made a lot of people think they needed another "strong leader".
But I don't want to bore you with a history lecture...

PC sales plunge as computing goes mobile
New data from research firm IDC suggests that as more people buy tablets and smartphones, the need to upgrade their PCs is less pressing.
The American dream used to be owning a home, a white picket fence and having a family computer. Now, it's having a tablet in the house.
Research firm IDC notes that PC shipments fell 13.9% in the first quarter to 76.3 million units, sharply worse than the 7.7% year-on-year decline it had forecast.
This is the worst quarterly contraction since IDC started keeping data, and it's mostly due to tablets and smartphones taking over. IDC also paced blame on Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows 8 operating system. (Microsoft owns and publishes MSN Money.)
"At this point, unfortunately, it seems clear that the Windows 8 launch not only failed to provide a positive boost to the PC market, but appears to have slowed the market," IDC's Bob O'Donnell said in the press release.
A different beast
Apple (AAPL) isn't immune to the slowdown. The Cupertino, Calif., company saw a 7.5% year-on-year decline in U.S. sales of its personal computers. But Apple is a different beast. Its iPad is the best-selling tablet, according to IDC. It's clear that iPads and other tablets are heavily affecting PC sales. And that Apple, with its first-mover advantage in the space, is enjoying the benefits.
Almost the entire PC space saw weakness in first-quarter sales, as companies like Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Dell (DELL), and Asus posted worldwide sales declines in the period. Only Lenovo was able to hold the line globally and even achieve improvement in the U.S. market, where sales were up 13% to 1.27 million units.
Both HP and Dell are undergoing massive restructuring efforts, and Lenovo has been able to take advantage of that, with an aggressive product strategy.
One interesting tidbit is that the decline in PC sales isn't just about price, as the bottom-end vendors aren't growing in the United States. Companies are having a hard time innovating, and that's being seen in the sales figures.
More from TheStreet.com
The PC and Notebook have already surpassed the capabilities of the new gaming consoles (PS-4, X-box 720) before they are even released. As more people realize this there maybe an increase in sales again. I started playing on computers (Commodore 64), then custom desktops, then shifted to consoles (PS-2, PS-3, X-box, X-box 360). I bought a high end laptop about 1 year ago and will never go back to consoles. The graphics, customizable controls, every aspect of the games are so much better on the PC. But the digital downloads, time limits for playing in off-line mode, security and account concerns playing on-line are starting to give me heartburn. Guess I am getting old, I want a hard copy disk of my games, but they are starting to get difficult to find at times. I understand the piracy concerns just wish the game manufacturers could find a better way. Nothing is ever perfect.

One appearance[edit]
Arliss on other programs[edit]
In July 1999, Wuhl also appeared on World Championship Wrestling's Monday Nitro as a guest announcer. Joining Scott Hudson and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, Robert did not appear as himself but was named as Arliss and acted in character. He announced that "the WCW" (sic) would appear on Arliss because none of the Big Three networks would have WCW. Arliss stayed in character on color commentary as Randy Savage, Gorgeous George, and Miss Madness walked to the ring. Arliss said he was scouting Dennis Rodman, who was doing his third stint with the company. Wuhl appeared for cross-promotion as WCW was owned by Time Warner (and Nitro aired on TNT), as was HBO. In the Arliss episode entitled "To Thy Own Self Be True", WCW creative head Eric Bischoff guest stars along with wrestlers Lex Luger, Randy Savage and Gorgeous George.
During the October 12, 2002 episode of Saturday Night Live, guest host Sarah Michelle Gellar delivered the following monologue in a fake television commercial sketch:
" | You know the feeling. Someone's about to tell a joke, and you panic. What if you start laughing? Lots of us experience slight loss of bladder control. An embarrassing accident can happen any time. Sometimes, just when laughing. That's why I watch Arliss on HBO Comedy. It's nice to know that, every weekday at midnight, I can sit down with Robert Wuhl and the gang at Arliss Michaels Sports Management, and, a half-hour later, my drawers will be as dry as a bone. And now I know I'll be able to get 100% bladder control whenever I'm feeling insecure. Because all seven seasons of Arliss are now available on DVD. That's over forty hours of keep-your-pants-dry entertainment! So, don't let slight loss of bladder control cramp your style. Watch Arliss, and take back your life. Ask your doctor if Arliss is right for you. Side effects may include nausea, depression, and slight sexual dysfunction.[1] | " |
In the October 4th, 2012 episode of 30 Rock, "The Beginning of the End," Kenneth says, in response to Tracy Jordan's marriage having lasted for over 20 years, "That's half as long as it felt Arliss was on TV!"
This show, which ran for seven seasons, is a prime example of how HBO differs from traditional networks due to its nature as a network its viewers specifically pay to be able to watch. Arliss was cited by so many viewers as the sole reason that they paid for the network that its relatively small fan base was able to keep the show on the air for a lengthy run.[2] Entertainment Weekly consistently referred to it as one of the worst shows on television.[3] The show frequently used obscure sports references, making the humor something only die-hard sports fans could appreciate. ESPN.com columnist Bill Simmons repeatedly wrote about how awful he felt the show was, often holding it up as Exhibit A in what he saw as the terrible state of sports shows on TV. Simmons also noted that HBO was forced to reschedule the show because it wasn't able to hold enough viewers before Six Feet Under. Simmons' viewpoint notwithstanding, his employer acquired rights to air Arli$$ in reruns on ESPN Classic.
