CATEGORIES Trailers and Clips, Movies, Worth WatchingThink that Iron Man is getting a little paunchy for the robotic costume? Worried about the crows-feet peeking out from behind Captain America's mask? Well, get ready for some fresh blood, as the next generation of superhero is preparing to take to the big screen this fall.
That's when Walt Disney Animation Studios, coming off of the record-breaking success of "Frozen," unleashes "Big Hero 6," a film based on a cult Marvel property (by Steven T. Seagle and Duncan Rouleau). And we've got the brand new trailer, as well as an exclusive interview with filmmakers Chris Williams (who helmed "Bolt") and Don Hall (the filmmaker behind 2011's criminally underrated "Winnie the Pooh").
In the trailer, we get a glimpse of the relationship between Hiro (Ryan Potter), a teenage genius who, along with his inflatable robot Baymax (Scott Adsit from "30 Rock"), set out to create a new team of fresh-faced heroes. (Also on the roster: T.J. Miller as Fred, Jamie Chung as GoGo Tomago, Damon Waynes, Jr. as Wasabi, and Genesis Rodriguez as Honey Lemon. Yes, this movie is going to be wacky.)
By watching the brief trailer you can pick up on the elements that make "Big Hero 6" so different and special: the crazy mixture of action film theatrics and buddy movie dynamics; the colorful characters, and how utterly hilarious it all is (when Baymax is powering down towards the end, seltzer almost flew out of our nose -- and we weren't even drinking anything!) "Big Hero 6," which is out on November 7th, will be unlike anything Walt Disney Animation Studios has produced yet -- bold, bright, and boisterously funny.
When we spoke with Hall and Williams on the phone, we talked about the movie's central relationship, why Adsit was cast as the lovable robot Baymax, the research that went into the robot's design, what it was like striking that delicate tonal balance, and what it was like making a movie based on a Marvel superhero property that is totally unrelated to the sprawling Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Moviefone: The trailer places a lot of emphasis on the relationship between Baymax and Hiro. Is that evocative of the movie as a whole?
Chris Williams: Yes. Absolutely. We've got a big cast and a lot of colorful characters but the heart of the story is definitely Hiro and Baymax, and the journey they go through together.
Don Hall: It's the emotional heart of the movie -- the relationship between Hiro, this 14-year-old super genius and Baymax, this robot who is designed to be a health care provider, completely innocent and without guile and lives to help people. The idea that this kid is turning this robot into a mech'd out superhero -- that idea is the core of the movie.
Can you talk about the design of Baymax?
Williams: He is an inflatable robot, which is a real thing. Early on in the process, Don went to MIT and a bunch of robotics universities and saw the technology of inflatable robots and was really excited about it and our artists built on that idea and Baymax was born.
What was that process like?
Hall: The week "Winnie the Pooh" came out I was on a research trip back East. I went to Carnegie Mellon, MIT, Harvard... And I was looking at robots because obviously this movie needed a robot in it. I wanted a robot that we had never seen before and something to be wholly original. That's a tough thing to do, we've got a lot of robots in pop culture, everything from "The Terminator" to "WALL-E" to C-3PO on down the line and not to mention Japanese robots, I won't go into that. So I wanted to do something original.
While at Carnegie Mellon -- Disney has a research group there, and they're the coolest, kindest people in the world and showed us all the stuff they're working on. I met a researcher who was working on soft robots. And one of the artists here, before I had even left, said, "We gotta do a huggable robot." It was an inflatable vinyl arm and the practical app would be in the health care industry as a nurse or doctor's assistant. He had me at vinyl. This particular researcher went into this long pitch but the minute he showed me that inflatable arm I knew we had our huggable robot.
Can you talk about what made Scott a perfect inflatable robot?
Williams: [laughs] Yeah, it was the part he was born to play! He's a really gifted comedic actor besides being a super nice guy. He has a very warm quality. He's just a good person. And that comes through in the character. Baymax is a very selfless, healing, helping robot and one thing that Scott is amazing at is finding a way for the robot to stay inside a certain range. We didn't want to break the rules. We wanted this to be a robot that had a certain set of programming and at the same time, within that spectrum, we wanted to find a way to subtly humanize him, so he'll do takes when he just alters the inflection and the robot will be slightly more apathetic or more sad but in a way that is so difficult to discern where it's coming from. He's a really subtle, gifted actor with this innate comic timing. Because Baymax is a restrictive character -- he doesn't have a mouth! He becomes a mirror where we're able to infer a lot of things into his acting and so yes, Scott was great at that.
Hall: We do these screenings here where we storyboard the movie multiple times and do screening internally with the entire studio but for the other directors and John Lasseter. So the scratch voice for Baymax was somebody who is internal and I always wanted somebody who had a very soft, soothing voice. But the troubling voice is that it could go HAL from "2001" real easy. We looked at a lot of actors but Scott, when we found him, it was one of those things where the tumblers fell -- he's got such a wonderful tone to his voice. But the amazing thing is the emotional range of this character isn't very broad, although we hint at some sentience as the movie progresses and there's a little bit of an arc. The vocal performance, though, had to fit into a certain framework. But Scott, being the performer he is, was still able to do multiple emotions within this very narrow framework. I can't say enough about that guy. He is amazing.
You mention the comedic dimension, and the trailer is super funny. Would you say that this is primarily a comedy? Tonally where is the movie going to go?
Williams: You know, that's a great question because so much of making the movie has been finding the personality -- we're making a Disney-Marvel superhero movie and we knew we were going to be coming up with something that had never been seen before. It's hard to relate or connect it to other movies because it was going to be it's own thing. Certainly, as you're watching the movie, we want it to be really entertaining and really funny and I think we've been successful. It's a lot of fun, tonally. At the same time, there are some real highs and lows emotionally for our main character and I think our main character will be really surprised by the depth of the emotion and how much they feel for Hiro and Baymax. I think people are going to really connect with Baymax beyond what they expect, given that he is a robot.
It certainly is a goal for us at Disney to make movies that are fun and funny but have that emotional depth and heft. Because we want it to stand the test of time. This is a Disney movie and there's such a rich heritage of Disney animated movies. We want to make movies that appeal to audiences now but we were raised on Disney movies and we still watch "Dumbo" and love "Snow White" and we'd like to think we're making movies that, 50 years from now, people will be able to enjoy. And the only way that works is if there's an emotional depth, so that's something that we're always mindful of. Tonally it's going to be a mix of things but I think it'll be cohesive at the same time.
Hall: It's tricky. You spend a lot of time working on refining characters and you spend a lot of time on refining tone. That's why we do all these screenings -- because that's what you're constantly working on. But we finally found the right blend of comedy, drama and action stuff too. The heart is what Disney films embody. I feel like our audience expects the full gamut of emotions and that it's very important that we deliver that.
This movie is based on a Marvel property but unmoored from the cumbersome Marvel Cinematic Universe. Was that fun to develop without having to worry about Iron Man flying by in the background?
Hall: Yes, it was liberating. Because when we first started, we didn't know how all this was going to go. But in our first meeting with Marvel, when John picked "Big Hero 6," Marvel was super encouraging to not tie it to their mythology at all. It was like -- "Create your own universe, create your own characters, and don't worry about anything else." I love the Marvel Universe and the mythology of the Marvel Universe if I had to be cognizant of all of that stuff during the course of this movie my brain would have exploded. There was enough in this movie with the new team and this world we've created, it was plenty. As much as I love the Marvel Universe, I'm glad that we chose to create our own thing.
Disney's "Big Hero 6" hits theaters November 7.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Too much light at night could lead to depression. According to a new study from Ohio State, this could be important for intensive care units in hospitals where the lights are often kept on all night.
Researchers subjected lab mice to light 24-hours a day for three weeks straight and then compared them with mice in a typical light-dark cycle. The mice that lived in constant light showed more signs of depression. Researchers say this might also apply to those who work the night shift or stay up late into the night watching TV.

Guest Star: "I Don't Think All These Hip-Hop Books Make Hip-Hop More Real"
Thursday, Nov 18, 2010 4:20PM
[With this week's release of Jay-Z's Decoded, contributor dream hampton shares her input on the trend of artists putting their lyrics into written form.]
Even as a writer, I don't privilege the written word over the [spoken] word. I don't think that a culture is less valid because it's primarily oral and I don't think that all of these hip-hop books validate or make hip-hop more real or more important. Hip-Hop would be just as important as it is without anybody writing a book.
With that said, there are a million ways that, because of someone like Jay-Z, hip-hop is becoming more formalized. And that was inevitable. We're 30 years into this at least and it was just inevitable that hip-hop would make its way into universities and [grade school], and that it would be used to teach texts and all of the things that's evolved to do.
So I think this is a book, Decoded, that teachers will be able to use at a university or in [K-12] as texts to talk about stuff like an allusion, double entendres, self-reflection. I still think that it could have been done with it just as a recording, but this makes it easier.

The costumed and masked interloper reportedly entered the McDonald's, and started handing out, of all things, free hamburgers. He also had his photo taken with several children, except the one, who, according to police, ran away in fear. When asked what he was doing by the manager, the unknown man reportedly said that he was collecting money for charity, though she said he collected none. He then left in his white Accura, but not before removing his mask. The manager described the suspicious character as a white, middle-aged man with dark hair. He is still at large.

Lil Wayne said in a statement posted on his official Facebook page that he did not intentionally step on the American flag during a recent video shoot.
The controversy started when a YouTube video filmed on set of the rapper's music video shoot for the song "God Bless Amerika" showed the rapper performing behind a huge American flag.
Early on in the video, the flag is dropped to the ground and Wayne keeps performing for the camera, occasionally stepping on the flag while he paces.
"It was never my intention to desecrate the flag of the United States of America," Lil Wayne said in a statement posted on his official Facebook page on Tuesday, June 18. "I was shooting a video for a song off my album entitled 'God Bless Amerika.' The clip that surfaced on the Internet was a camera trick clip that revealed that behind the American Flag was the Hoods of America. In the final edit of the video you will see the flag fall to reveal what is behind it but will never see it on the ground."
"In most people eyes including my own who were raised in that environment, the Hood is the only America they know and the only America I knew growing up," he added. "I was fortunate from my God giving talents to escape the Hood and see the other beautiful places this country has to offer but most people who are born in that environment don't get that chance. That's their view of their America."
He finished the statement with, "That was Dwayne M Carter from Hollygrove New Orleans view of America. That's who I'm speaking for in this song."
"God Bless Amerika" is from the rapper's recent album "I Am Not a Human Being II." This is the second controversy the rapper has faced this year. Last month, PepsiCo dropped him as a spokesperson for Mountain Dew following the controversy over the rapper's explicit lyric about civil rights icon Emmett Till in the song "Karate Chop" by Future.

Last month I got myself another car. I wanted something economic as I do a hell of a lot of mileage so I wanted a diesel. In the end I got the car I'm writing this review on: A 1999 (V) Ford Focus 1.8TDdi [AC] LX Estate. It cost me £1,600. Got 104K miles (106K now) and had had a full service history til 79K, with a cambelt change at the last service. And to be so blunt, I'm chuffed to bits with it.Anyway, so lets get down to business.
- Features.This is the LX model. Which is mid range. Focuses at this age have 4 possible trim levels; The CL, LX, Ghia, Zetec. It hasn't got much to talk about really, electric windows at the front, remote central locking, air conditioning, electric tailgate realease from dash and key, radio with CD changer compatibility and an audio remote control. Which for me, is more than enough, since my first car was an old Peugeot and it didn't even have an intermittent windscreen wiper speed.
- Exterior.I've not known anyone who actually dislikes the Focus' looks. And again, 10 years ago you can understand what all the fuss was about. In my opinion, this is a great looking car. Obviously not as good looking as the hatchback, but at least it's not as bad as the ever unpopular saloon version. The only thing I dislike about this car is the colour. It's that flat red that always seems to look different on every panel of the car, but luckily my Focus hasn't been a major victim of that, only the driver's side wingmirror casing has started to go a bit pink. What I do like though, and something I've not seen on another car before is the bonnet release. It's not down in one of the footwells, what you do is; Flip the Ford badge on the radiator grill. Stick the key in, turn it the the left to release it, then turn it to the right to open it.
- Fuel consumption.Before I got the car I had a snoop around on Google looking for the mpg this thing does. But I couldn't get a solid number, some places said about 43, some said 60! But I can safely say this does around 50mpg, you could probably squeeze 55mpg out of her if you drive her like a herse.
Thanks for reading and I hope this helped.

Fact Sheets
What is haemophilia?
Haemophilia is a blood clotting disorder in which one of the essential clotting factors is deficient. Haemophilia A, or Classical Haemophilia, is the most common form, and is due to the deficiency of factor VIII. Haemophilia B, or Christmas Disease, is due to the deficiency of factor IX.
Bleeding is mostly internal. The deficiency in clotting factor produces a wide range of bleeding episodes, usually into the joints or muscles. These bleeding episodes, or "bleeds", may occur spontaneously, or as a result of trauma or injury. The bleeding is stopped by infusion of the appropriate clotting factor by intravenous injection. If internal bleeding is not quickly stopped with treatment, it will result in pain and swelling. Over a period of time bleeding into joints and muscles can cause permanent damage such as arthritis, chronic pain and joint damage requiring surgery.
The common belief that a person with haemophilia gushes blood from cuts and will rapidly bleed to death is a myth. A person with haemophilia bleeds no more profusely than anyone else, just for a longer time. Minor cuts and scratches pose no problem and require only a Band-Aid® and some pressure at the site of bleeding. For deeper cuts, bleeding is prolonged because of the failure of the blood to form a tough, adherent clot at the site of damaged blood vessels. Treatment with clotting factor will then be required.
Is haemophilia hereditary?
Haemophilia is hereditary. It affects males almost exclusively, and is passed on through females who carry the defective gene. However in 1/3 of cases it appears in families with no previous history of the disorder. Some women are symptomatic carriers of the haemophilia gene and may also experience bleeding problems.
How many people in Australia have haemophilia?
In Australia there are approximately 1,800 males who have haemophilia, haemophilia in females is rare.
Is there a cure?
There is as yet, no cure for haemophilia. It is a lifelong condition.
What treatment is available?
Treatment is given by injecting the missing clotting factor into veins. With appropriate treatment haemophilia can be managed effectively.

My experiences as a teenager growing up in Wisconsin were as far removed from the life I lead in Cambria today as Milwaukee is from the moon. Talk about shedding one layer of cheese-head skin and growing a more creative, coastal one.
Thousands of brutally cold Wisconsin mornings brought visions of palm trees and warm fresh breezes rushing through my head. Walking the mile or so up to Paul Greens dairy farm on icy winter mornings, I dreamed of, fantasized and idealized the California experience.
As I stepped through snowdrifts in minus-10-degree weather, I conjured up vivid images of beaches, crashing waves, surfers, pretty girls in summer clothes, and stately palm trees swaying in balmy breezes.
I worked with two milking machines and 24 cows Jerseys, Guernseys, and Holsteins. Before I attached suctions to the first cows udders, I tuned my transistor radio to a local top-40 station.
Several windows in the old red barn were broken out, letting in chilly breezes. But as soon as a Jan & Dean or Beach Boys song came on, the barn warmed right up.
Never for a moment did I doubt that I would somehow get to California, to escape the long and brutal winters and to free myself from the preachers kid stigma I experienced in a small conservative town.
On those early frosty mornings, with every shovel of cow manure into the spreader at the far end of the stanchions, I knew it was my destiny to be delivered to the West Coast.
I completed the first phase of my California dreamin pilgrimage when our church youth group took a train trip from Wisconsin to West Covina in Orange County. It was a denominational conference linked to my dads church.
On the first night, the big brother of a new friend drove us over some coastal mountains to my long-sought nirvana the Pacific Ocean. My first glimpse of the mythical waters was beyond wonderful it was wildly electric.
The crest of every wave danced with a million amazing tiny lights! I stood awestruck in the sand. Each new thundering wave surging shoreward was capped with countless tiny sparkling lights. California! I recall shouting. California!
We stripped down and went skinny-dipping, a baptism of luminosity. When we jumped out of the ocean, those magical sparkling lights covered our bodies and blew my mind like itd never been blown before.
I dont recall if the big brother driver explained that we were experiencing the red tide or not, but it wouldnt have meant much to me at that moment anyway.
I had discovered an enchanted ocean alive with dazzling little lights. And during that week of heavy religious dogma and boring youth-related lectures, I probably didnt hear a word that was spoken. My goals had been crystallized.
Years later, when I arrived in San Luis Obispo in my sports car, before locating an apartment I rented a motel room and waited for darkness to descend so I could hurry out to Estero Bay with the top down to rediscover the oceans light show.
But there were no dazzling little lights being carried to shore on the crashing waves. No luminescence at all. The ocean was wonderfully loud and powerful, but the phytoplankton phenomenon that I had witnessed back in the day was nowhere to be seen.
Still, over the years I have become an aficionado of all things ocean. I am addicted to the salty aroma, the sheer power and ceaseless thunder, the whale spouts, dolphin acrobatics and pelican plunges even the musty stench of decaying kelp on the beach has its charm.
Relaxing on the high sand bluffs at Leffingwell Landing (near the north parking lot) I find peace and perspective. Returning home to Skye Street, within earshot of the pounding surf, I am constantly cognizant of how blessed all of us are to live here.
I am forever fascinated with the fact that the restless preachers kid who milked cows in biting cold Wisconsin lives out his dream in the middle of a Monterey Pine forest, splashed by the Pacific, in a community with the same number of letters as Camelot.

But according to Los Angeles-based filmmaker, Ray Comfort, the movie is anything but a "biblical adventure." Comfort, whose award-winning movies have been seen by millions, has produced his own version of "Noah" and which is being released on the same day as the Hollywood version. Comfort said, "It seems like a 'hail Mary' to the pope. Perhaps he, Darren Aronofsky and Paramount should have listened to their critics, when they had prescreening a long time ago. Maybe they will even consider making a sequel called 'Muhammad,' where they portray him as an evil character as they did with Noah, and see if Moslems file in two-by-two to see it. But they wouldn't dare malign Muhammad's character, because they know that there would be serious repercussions. With "Noah" they have shown that they have no respect for Christians and Jews, by painting Noah as a psychopath."Comfort added "It's a no-brainer for Hollywood to have success at the box office. All they need do is make a movie about the Bible, have their 'poetic license,' but stay true to the Scriptures--and we will support you by the millions."He then cited "The Ten Commandments," and "Ben Hur" as examples. The Ten Commandments became the highest-grossing film of 1956 and "Ben-Hur--A Tale of Christ" was the highest grossing film of 1959. Comfort said, "They have no qualms about sensationalizing the story of Noah in order to make it more profitable. That's their bottom line. But the movie strays so far from the biblical account that it omits its essential message -- God's judgment for man's sin and evil. Taking 'poetic license' on this story further erodes the public's perception of the biblical account -- and of the Bible in general. That's why we produced our version of NOAH, which looks at him from a different perspective. We reveal ten undeniable Bible prophecies that link to Noah, and show that we are living in what the Bible calls 'the last days.'"See the trailer, and download a pre-release at: www.NoahTheMovie.com For interviews with Ray Comfort contact Jen Thompson: firstname.lastname@example.com

The run game sucked last year. Really bad.
How bad you ask? The 2012 Steelers recorded the second worst total rush yards in team history for 16 game seasons, besting the nightmare 2003 season by 47 yards. Remember that season, we earned the Roethlisberger pick and started 6 different defenders in 2004. Not a great year.
We could take solace in a higher yards per attempt than both 2003 and 2008, but that also shows we had more confidence in the run in 2008 than in 2012.
In spite of our futility, there is hope, and evidence that this team can be a big time rushing offense without new RB blood.
The first five games of the season the Steelers had the same starting five on the offensive line: Starks, Colon, Pouncey, Foster Gilbert. In those five games they recorded one 100 yard game, and averaged 74.8 ypg. That average would have placed us last in the NFL, the Cardinals averaged 75.3, league average was 115.9.
Then something happened, Marcus Gilbert was replaced by Mike Adams for week 7. The next five games the Steelers would record four 100 yard games and average 138.8 ypg. That average would be good enough for 6th in the league. The only variation on that line was a single start at C for Legursky vs. Cincinatti.
The next game would still include Adams, but replace Colon with Legursky, the debacle at Cleveland that included 49 rush yards.
Adams would not play again, and the team would not cross 100 yards rushing again. The last two games of the season, with DeCastro finding his groove a bit the Steelers did turn in two 90+ yard games to avoid the lowest rushing total of the 16 game era.
What the Steelers need to have a successful running game is a Healthy Mike Adams at RT, and a good run blocking Guard. Max Starks has been the picture of a consistent and solid LT, Pouncey when Healthy is great, and when active is solid at the worst. With a stud run blocker at RT and a good run-blocking guard at LG this team can eat up yards on the ground.
The problem is our line is never healthy. Maybe changing OL coaches will help with that, or maybe luck will finally swing our way again, who knows?
The truth is that for 5 games last year we were a top ten rushing team, and that was with a banged up and constantly rotating RB group.
My argument against making a major investment in a RB this year is that with an OL situation like last year only an all-time great running back is going to turn in a good year, and we aren't getting one of those at 17 in this years draft. With a stable OL that includes our young talents being healthy we can be a run first offense with Redman and Dwyer. We did it last year.
I'm not saying we have to keep both Redman and Dwyer, or even that we need to ditch Mendy, My point is that we don't need a major investment in RB right now. If we can keep Redman we should, he wasn't 100% last year and still ran hard and is a great back to have, he also catches and blocks well. Dwyer I can live with, he's inconsistent but improved a lot last year. I'd be OK with keeping him, or with replacing him in FA with a non-expensive runner.
With our current roster situation there is much more to be gained in the short and long term by investing money and draft picks in other places, I'd personally rather see us draft a Guard high than a RB.
Looking at our roster we need a WR, NT, ILB, OLB, and I'd love to see a young safety, another CB, and if a good OL is there, one of them.
Lastly, in hope for next year let's go back to 2003. Marvel Smith becoming a starter and a little OL stability would turn our franchise worst, and league 2nd worst rushing offense(Remember Detroit?) into the eighth best franchise mark, and 2nd in the league in 2004. I think Mike Adams and David DeCastro can have that kind of impact on this line.

Hey Dudette, I finally got the 'Sing' job done!
Hello TODville. Am I number 1?
Hey enekra – haven't seen you around before! welcome!
Congrats on first, enekra!!!
Christ, is an odd one. I wish the ppl of FL would give him another chance… somewhere. Senator? Governor?
That was fantastic. Had a grin on my face the whole video. Excellent work Chips. :-D
For context, GOP supported more than a Trillion (debt) to destroy lives & property in Iraq based on a LIE & now block jobs for US Veterans.—

Hi @davidaxelrod @vj44 the plutocrats & their #InaugurationInsurgency bit.ly/VpbUhu bit.ly/ULgudj FAILED. #PBO WON! #YesWeDid—
Bobfr (@Our4thEstate) December 08, 2012
The video is beautiful!
Charlie crist joined the dems! Kinda happy for some reason.
Thank you, dear Chips!
Dear @BarackObama @MichelleObama Chips & TOD have ALWAYS been with YOU bit.ly/YMmyq0 & what Sasha did will never be forgotten. TY!—
Bobfr (@Our4thEstate) December 08, 2012
Yes We Did
Beautifully said Bobfr – thank U!
I LOVE this site Thank You So Much for existing i Hope and Pray that you all will be around for a long.long time. Thank You Again!! :)
Thanks to Chips, we will, roh!!! So glad you are with us!!
Yes We Can
Oh Chipsticks – that video is MAGNIFICENT!
Love this video; thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I think I like the headline from India the best: Obama reelected; planet relieved! I have to say I have felt such a strong sense of inner peace for the last month. Also helps that in MN we defeated two hateful constitutional amendment proposals….renews your faith in voters! Yes we can, yes we did and yes we will!
Governor Charlie Crist of Florida, sounds a hell of alot better than Governor Rick Scott. And how about Senator Ashley Judd of Kentucky. I don't know if either will come true, but we sure can dream can't we. That Mitch "Filibuster" McConnell is a disgrace also.
Just beautiful, Chips. Thank you.
This video is now at the top of of my list of all time favorite TOD video gems; I will be watching it over and over. Unfortunately, I am technologically challenged and I have no teenagers in my home who can show me how to download this keeper to my computer. Will someone tell me, in simple terms, how to do this? Thanks so much. I will check back later in the day when more people are up. Off to enjoy this beautiful again and again.
Where are my manners, geesh! Chips you have outdone yourself (which is an almost impossible feat). I am still so thankful, inspired, vindicated, and so much more that I can hardly express as a result of PBO's/our victory. Sometimes I am still overwhelmed with how we prevailed with so much against us (big money, voter suppression, the collaboration of the media with the repiubs. etc). This video somehow, just fills me up. Thanks also to Dudette for her inspiration.
Good Morning everyone – and WHAT A GREAT VIDEO CHIPS! So glad I caught it this morning, love it!!!
Morning everyone. Lovely video Chips. This is a masterpiece.
I have been looking for Jimmy Fallon's parody of James Taylor at the DNC. Every video I find says that it is private. Can anyone help me find one that I can play. There is one on this blog a little after the convention but I cannot seem to find it. Thank you in advance.
Hi Dudette,
Thank you so very much for the Jimmy Fallon Parody. I owe you one. Thanks again.
Great Video……Love it. Just brilliant.

Since each student is different and has different needs an abilities it is important for a teacher to use several different teaching strategies in the classroom. Each strategy will benefit every student and help the class run more efficiently so that the teacher can focus on educating and the students on learning. These five strategies begin with focusing on meaningful content and end with parent involvement.
1. Focus on meaningful content and activities: This is the most important strategy of all because the content of lessons and activities is where the teacher grabs the student's interest. If the content of the lessons have no meaning then kids will tune it out.. This strategy works well for all types of learners.
2. Providing ample practice and careful corrections: It is important to practice, practice, practice, and to correct mistakes. Many assignments require a lot of repetition for retention. Once the students have practiced, it is beneficial to correct mistakes right away, when possible, so that students know what they got right and where they need to improve and study. Correcting mistakes is also one of the best ways to retain information. When people discover the right answers through correcting mistakes they think about the content at a deeper level which promotes retention.
3. Actively involving learners: It is very beneficial to have students occasionally grade their tests as a group. This strategy saves the teacher a lot of time grading papers and also lets the students be involved in their own education.
4. Holding high expectations for all learners: Kids will live up to what is expected of them. A teacher can be very nice but yet expect the students each to do their own personal best, not everyone else's best, but their own. The teacher must not accept any less. If students are held to high standards they try harder. The teacher must let the students know that he or she has faith in them even when they mess up. In expecting high expectations the teacher must make sure criticism is constructive and positive.
5. Creating roles in the classroom for family members: It is important to provide activities that include and involve family members. These can simply be activities during holiday parties or asking parents for assistance when larger projects are being implemented. Invite family members on field trips as chaperones and have evening events such as an ice cream social. Family members who are included and involved in the fun stuff tend to become involved in academics and are more active in their child's education. Even if they do not become more involved in the academics, the involvement during the fun times benefits the children by showing that their family members care.
Applying these five strategies to the classroom benefits all students by providing them with a caring and interesting environment to learn in.

text: I know this really does suck, especially at this time. 2 very important parts of our offense listed more than likely out. We have to move on and face reality now though, i believe that this is DG's time to shine now, pending that we will throw the ball a lot more having maurice out. I very well believe in Garrard and think hes gonna do it, at home against the redskins. I feel like were still going to win this game, and were going to rest mojo/msw for our last game vs houston, and maybe the playoffs. I know the redskins just placed a couple important players on IR and are battleing injuries too, no excuses, i feel like its a huge blow to us, but i think we can still come out with a win. As for Mojo, the guys simply a warrior, he hasnt missed a game since 2007, cause hes been playing injured and fighting pain, i praise him for that. His knee is probably just too bad for him to go, give it a rest and hope we pull this one out brother. Id assume Jennings/Deji will split a 80/20 with Greg Jones maybe getting a few as well. GO JAGS !

WILMINGTON -- I received an email last week that reminded me beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.
A viewer wrote about historic Wilmington. The email was prompted by a news story we ran on plans to tear down the old Wachovia building downtown. The viewer was particularly upset about a sound bite that said, "I bid adieu- the ugliest building I know."
"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't," J.W. wrote, "However, it indicates to me that he cares nothing for history, only the money he is making off of destroying it. There are signs which say "Historic Wilmington," when there is very little left that is historic. Developers do not want or care to try to maintain the very thing that supposedly brought them here."
The old Wachovia building dates back to the 1960's and I'm not sure that makes it a historic landmark. But J.W.'s email does demonstrate a challenge we face - that somehow we have to deal with the delicate balance between progress and preserving our past.
That's J.W.'s turn. Now it's your turn. To comment on this segment or anything else, email me at email@example.com.

Acer Started Shipping $199 C7 Chromebook
Acer began shipping the C7 Chromebook netbook starting at $199 with Google's Chrome OS and Intel's Celeron processor.
The low-power laptop has an 11.6-inch screen, and is for those who do most of their computing on the web, Acer said Monday. the C7 Chromebook is mainly designed to be a secondary mobile device for those who want to browse the Web, check email or access social networks.
The C7 Chromebook will face competition from Samsung's Chromebook, which starts at $249 and also runs on Chrome OS. Samsung's Chromebook, which was announced last month, has the Exynos 5 Dual chip, which is based on ARM's Cortex-A15 processor design. ARM, which dominates tablets and smartphones, is now trying to enter the laptop market, which is dominated by x86 chips from Intel and Advanced Micro Devices.
Acer and Samsung announced the first wave of Chromebooks in June last year. Google has coined the term "Chromebook" for netbooks with the Chrome OS.
The C7 will come with Wi-Fi connectivity. Samsung's Chromebook by comparison comes with Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity, with prices for 3G netbooks starting at $329. Acer did not respond to requests for comment on whether it will introduce 3G or LTE connectivity in C7.
The C7 has Intel's Celeron 847 processor, which is based on the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture and has a clock speed of 1.10GHz. The laptop has a 1.3-megapixel webcam and 320GB of storage, and Acer is offering 100GB of free Google Drive cloud storage for two years.
The C7 Chromebook is available from the Google Play online store or Best Buy's retail and online stores. Acer did not respond to a request for information about C7 Chromebook's worldwide availability.
Acer Announces $679 Ultrabooks Upgradable To Windows 8
Acer on Wednesday announced new Timeline Ultra M5 ultrabooks starting at $679.99 that can be upgradable to Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8 Pro for $14.99.
The ultrabooks are just 20.54 millimeters thick with a starting weight of 1.95 kilograms and come with 14-inch and 15.6-inch screens. Two of the Timeline laptops starting at $779.99 have Intel's latest processors, code-named Ivy Bridge, while the $679.99 model has Intel's older and slower Core processor, code-named Sandy Bridge.
The laptops come with Windows 7 Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional or Ultimate, and users can move to Windows 8 Pro by purchasing the upgrade from Microsoft's website. The offer is valid through Jan. 31 next year. Microsoft has not yet announced a specific release date for Windows 8.
A sample configuration of a Timeline Ultra M5-481TG-6814 at $779.99 has a 14-inch screen and Intel's Core i5 3317U processor, which runs at 2.6GHz. The laptop comes with Nvidia's GeForce GT640M LE graphics cards, which could improve laptop graphics. A Timeline Ultra M5-581TG-6666 with a 15.6-inch screen and similar processors is priced at $829.99. The $679.99 Timeline Ultra M5-481T-6670 with the Sandy Bridge processor comes with Intel integrated graphics.
The laptops have a 1.3-megapixel webcam, two USB 3.0 drives and up to 500GB of hard-drive storage. An anti-theft features allows laptops to be disabled in case of theft, and to be enabled when found.
The laptops offer up to eight hours of battery life. The systems will become available in the U.S. at the end of June. The company did not immediately comment on worldwide availability.
Is MSI Entering The Tablet Space?
MSI has teased a rather interesting device that should be a direct competitor to Asus' Transformer Slider tablet.
Unfortunately, the details are unknown and we do not have anything to go on other than the simple teaser posted on MSI's Facebook page. On the other hand, our sources hinted that we might be looking at an "ultrabook" slider so in that case, Intel innards are most certainly guaranteed.
Of course, the size of the device is anyone's guess as it can be anywhere between 10 and 15-inch, but it certainly looks interesting.
We will surely keep an eye out on this one once Computex show kicks off in Taipei on June 5th.
Dell's XPS 13 Ultrabook To Ship Next Week
Dell will begin shipping its first ultrabook, the XPS 13, in the U.S. and Canada starting next week, the company said on Thursday.
The XPS 13 has a 13-inch Gorilla Glass screen and belongs to a new category of thin and light laptops that Intel has named ultrabooks. The XPS 13 comes with Intel's Core processors based on the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture.
The ultrabook is priced starting at $999 with a Core i5 processor, a Dell spokesman said. The XPS 13 will become available elsewhere later in March.
The ultrabook has a thin design much like Apple's MacBook Air and Dell said that the XPS 13 is packed in an 11-inch frame, which will help save some desk space. It weighs 2.99 pounds (1.35 kilograms) and measures 0.2 inches (6 mm) thick. It can run up to eight hours on a battery charge. The XPS 13 also supports up to 256GB of solid-state drive (SSD) storage and 4GB of RAM.
Ultrabooks are an effort by Intel to redefine laptops, which are losing favor to tablets. Dell joins Hewlett-Packard, Acer, Toshiba and Asus as ultrabook vendors. The competition for XPS 13 includes HP's Folio 13 and Spectre.
Some XPS 13 features include Smart Connect technology, which keeps the laptop connected to the Internet in sleep mode so email and social network feeds can be updated. That feature is also available on other ultrabooks.
The XPS 13 starting price could be an issue. Buyers have frowned on ultrabooks exceeding $800, which are priced partly because of the high price of components. Intel has said it will bring down the price of ultrabooks to about $699 by the end of the year.
Intel next quarter will introduce new Core processors based on the upcoming Ivy Bridge microprocessor, which will bring better graphics and performance to ultrabooks. AMD has said that it will counter Intel's ultrabook push by offering processors for thin laptops that will be priced starting at $500.
Intel Releases Sandy Bridge Pentium Processor
Intel has released a rather interesting Sandy Bridge processor that might very well have the lowest TDP of any non-Atom desktop processor to date.
The Pentium 350 is a dual-core 32nm processor based on the Sandy Bridge architecture and it's clocked at just 1.2GHz, making for a very energy efficient LGA 1155 package with a 15W TDP. The polar bear friendly chips lacks onboard graphics, but it supports hyperthreading and comes with a rather generous 3MB of L3 cache.
To put things in perspective, the most power efficient Sandy Bridge parts in the desktop segment have a 35W TDP, and 15W is pretty impressive even by mobile standards. For example, the 1.2GHz Pentium U5400 has an 18W TDP. The new Pentium 350 appears to be a derivative of low-voltage Xeon chips, since it supports ECC memory and does not have integrated graphics.
It sounds like an excellent choice for HTPC builds and other small form factor machines with an emphasis on low power consumption and noiseless operation. However, Intel has a tendency to slap pretty high price tags on its ultra low voltage parts, so don't expect it to come cheap.
Intel Says Touchscreen Ultrabooks On The Horizon
Intel has hinted that touchscreen enabled Ultrabook laptops will tip up next year with the introduction of Windows 8.
Next year's Ultrabook selection will offer Intel's Ivy Bridge processor and will also feature touchscreen control, according to Tom's Hardware. This makes some sense, considering that the Windows 8 user interface has a tile system similar to that of the Windows Phone operating system.
Intel CEO Paul Otellini said at the Intel Capital Global Summit, "Starting with Windows 8, you [will] have a mainstream operating system incorporating touch."
"Our view is that in the ultrabook lines, touch is a pretty critical enabler. When users see that new Windows interface, they're going to want to touch it. If the screen does nothing, you [will] have disappointed [the] consumer."
We saw an Ultrabook running Windows 8 at this year's Intel Developer Forum in September. However, it did not have a touchscreen and was demonstrated using just the keyboard and mouse. The demonstrator was keen to point out the fact that it worked fine without touchscreen support.
The Ivy Bridge Ultrabooks we saw at IDF didn't have Windows 8 or touchscreen support either, but apparently they were just on stage to look pretty.
Otellini said that to achieve this, "we have to get touch to a lower cost. This is particularly important, as we move to the launch of Windows 8. The iPad and the iPhone have made touch a paradigm." He also said that Chipzilla will invest in this area with the Ultrabook Fund.
Sandy Bridge "E" Processor Makes Its Debut
Intel has launched its first Sandy Bridge E processor, the Core i7 3960x Extreme Edition.
For those after the ultimate peak of performance, Intel's latest processor has six cores and a base clock speed of 3.3GHz. It has Hyper-Threading technology and with Intel's Turbo Boost 2.0 the chip jumps to 3.9GHz.
Intel's latest and greatest comes with 15MB of Smart Cache but requires a new motherboard with the LGA2011 socket based on Intel's X79 Express Platform Controller Hub. It has twice the memory bandwidth as the previous Core i7 990x with its four memory channels.
Intel said, "The [second] generation Intel Core i7 processor Extreme Edition is the perfect engine for power users who demand unparalleled performance for unlimited digital creativity."
A second six core chip, the Core i7 3930K has a clock speed of 3.2GHz, a 12MB cache and can reach up to 3.8GHz using Turbo Boost 2.0. Both chips have unlocked multipliers for overclocking and, for the first time, four memory channels.
A third Sandy Bridge E chip, the Core i7 3820 will be a quad-core chip clocked at 3.6GHz. However, it will only be partially unlocked with a maximum core multiplier. All three chips have a thermal design power (TDP) of 130W.
These processors are aimed at power hungry users with deep pockets, as the chips price start around $550 dollars.
The Government Buys Counterfeit Processors
The US military thought it was a good idea to buy its chips for major Pentagon weapon systems from a Florida drag racing entrepreneur with a history of amphetamine use.
For four years Shannon A. Wren's nine-employee company brokered the sale of more than $15.8 million in computer parts to government customers and others from a small office in a central Florida business park. According to iWatchnews.org many items were labeled as "military-capable" and were shoved under the bonnet of advanced fighters, radar systems, and missiles.
However all the parts were made from a single factory in China, using inferior and recycled materials and falsely labelled as being made by Intel, Texas Instruments, and Motorola. Some of them are so dodgy that they pose the risk of exploding or catching fire.
According to a U.S. District Court filing the Naval Air Systems Command has warned that any failures had the potential to ground military aircraft or prompt mistaken shoot-downs of friendly planes. Wren's company, VisionTech has been shut down, but it appears that the Defense Department has largely failed to impose significant controls on the origin and quality of the electronics it buys.
Wren died in May at the age of 42, before he had to face trial on federal charges. But it is starting to look like there is a mess as the US military looks to find how many dodgy chips are in their military machines.
Llano and Sandybridge Get Praised
The IDC has given it's thumbs up to integrated GPU and CPU chips from Intel and AMD. In a report IDC analysts said that the average selling price of processors in the third quarter jumped more than five percent.
Processors with integrated graphics technology in the third quarter represented 73 percent of all processors shipped. Shane Rau, director of semiconductors and personal computing research at IDC, said in a statement that Intel's Sandy Bridge and AMD's Fusion microprocessors were rising in each company's product stack and driving the price increase. Meanwhile low-end processors, notably Intel's Atom processors, were declining.
Intel and AMD led a global PC processor market that IDC said grew in both revenues and shipments in the third quarter. Worldwide PC chip revenues increased to $10.7 billion which was a 12.2 percent jump over the second quarter and a 16.1 per cent rise over the same period last year. Unit sales grew 6.7 percent over the second quarter and 5.2 percent over the third quarter last year, IDC said.
Intel saw its worldwide market share grow 0.9 percentage points from the previous quarter, to 80.2 percent while AMD's share fell 0.7 percentage points, to 19.7 percent. Via's market share was 0.1 percent, a loss of 0.2 percentage points. But in the mobile chip area. AMD saw its market share grow 2.4 percentage points, to 17.6 percent, while Intel's share dropped 2.1 percentage points, to 82.3 percent.
AMD Gains Processor Market Share Over Intel
Worldwide processor shipments grew during the third quarter this year and Advanced Micro Devices gained market share from Intel over last year despite being plagued by manufacturing problems, according to a study released by Mercury Research on Tuesday.
Shipments of processors during the third quarter went up by just 5% compared to the same quarter last year, according to Mercury Research. Chip shipments have grown despite flat-to-slow growth in PC shipments worldwide over the past year, said Dean McCarron, principal analyst at the research firm.
Intel held an 80.3% market share, a small drop from 80.6% market share during the third quarter last year. AMD's market share was 18.8%, growing from 18.3% market share last year.
Mercury Research's numbers cover all x86 systems including laptops, desktops and servers. The company did not provide full microprocessor shipment numbers.
AMD's Fusion mobile chips for netbooks and laptops are doing much better this year compared to last year, which helped the company gain year-over-year market share over Intel, McCarron said.
Fusion combines a powerful Radeon graphics core and CPU inside a single chip, and the processors are a giant upgrade over the previous generation of chips shipping last year. AMD's Fusion chips compete with Intel processors code-named Sandy Bridge, and both chips were released starting early this year.
Intel's latest Sandy Bridge chips are also doing well, but AMD's processors are finding wide acceptance among PC makers and buyers, McCarron said. The lower average selling price of AMD's chips may have also been an advantage, McCarron said.
Intel To Release E Model of Sandy Bridge
According to Donanimhaber.com Intel will be releasing three Sandy Bridge-E models, the Core i7-3960X, Core i7-3930X and the Core i7-3820 in the near future. Apparently, the first one is the Core i7-3960X and will feature six cores clocked at 3.30GHz with Turbo set at 3.9GHz. The processor will have 15MB of cache and since this one bears Intel's Extreme Edition badge, the multiplier will be unlocked.
The second will be the Core i7-3930 and is part of the Extreme Edition lineup and will also have an unlocked multiplier. This hexa-core works at 3.2GHz with Turbo set at 3.8GHz. The Core i7 3930 will have 12MB of cache while the TDP should be rated at 130W, same as the Core i7-3960X.
The final one is the non-EE quad-core Core i7-3820 which is clocked at 3.6GHz (Turbo at 3.9GHz) this one will not feature unlocked multiplier, will have 10MB of cache and should have the same 130W TDP. Donanimhaber.com also says all three models should feature support for quad-channel memory.
The only thing we need to see now is the pricing.
AMD's Llano Finally Available
AMD has finally released the long awaited Llano processors.
The chips have been shipping to OEM over the last couple of months and finally hitting the streets. That said, had Llano launched on schedule, AMD could have capitalized on Intel's Sandy Bridge chipset fiasco.
If most reviews are to be judged, AMD might have winner in its corner. Llano is not a serious contender to Intel's Sandy Bridge in the high-end. However, overall it delivers a better bang for the dollar in the mainstream market. Furthermore, AMD has done a great job to improve the battery life compared to its previous mobile platform and on the same level as its rival Intel.
Finally, AMD appears to be a serious player in the notebook space. Last year, AMD went after Intel's Atom with the Brazos platform, and won so to speak. Now AMD is facing tougher competition. It's not all roses for Intel; they have quite a hard time competing with Llano APUs, particularly the affordable A4- and A6-series parts, which are on par with Intel's Core i3 and Core i5 processors.
Unfortunately, the only downside appears to be Llano's rather sizable gap between Llano and Brazos products, both in terms of performance and TDP. Intel has a much comprehensive processor offer, custom-made almost to everyone's needs. Therefore, Intel can offer better coverage of some niche market segments and pack more performance into increasingly popular light portables with 13-inch form factors.
Overall, it's great to see AMD back in this the game and giving Intel a run for its money. As always, there is nothing like competition that will end up benefiting the consumer.
Acer Launches Their Sandy Bridge Notebooks
Acer updated its Timeline notebook series with Intel's Sandy Bridge family of CPUs. The Timeline X series will come in three sizes, 13.3-inch, 14-inch and 15.6-inch and they are about an inch thick. Furthermore, the notebooks will be equipped with Acer's PowerSmart Technology that is supposed to provide battery life of up to nine hours on models with integrated graphics and up to eight hours for those models with discrete graphics.
Acer's TimelineX series also ship with High-Definition audio support with Dolby Home Theater v4 Audio as well as HDMI 1080p output. Acer was also savvy enough to move to USB 3.0 for those who need fast transfers. Another neat feature of the USB 3.0 that the port can charge devices even when the notebook is turned off.
The lowest level model starts around $599.
Ivy Bridge May Launch Next Spring
As of late, we have been getting a lot of information on Intel 22nm Ivy Bridge CPU and its platform; and most in the industry are predicting the launch will probably happen in the Spring of 2012. That said, most are saying the launch will specifically happen in the month of March.
Intel has been in close discussions with its partners and informed them that Ivy Bridge's launch is scheduled for the second quarter of 2012; and not in the first quarter as they would usually do.
Intel's previous strategy had always been to debut a new processor in the first quarter to get people to buy a new PC early in the year; since consumers were more focused on other forms of electronics.
We are hearing that Ivy Bridge will launch for both desktops and laptops this go round. If you do not have the patience to wait on Ivy Bridge you can always go for Intel's Sandy Bridge platform, which it actually quite nice. Let's just hope Intel does not delay Ivy until the Summer of 2012, which will not please their stockholders.
Is Intel Facing The Heat?
Analysts at Goldman Sachs are saying that chip maker Intel may be in a pickle as microprocessor shipments slow and it faces stiff competition. That said, analysts have advised stockholders to sell Intel as they downgraded the stock.
James Covello and Simon Schafer of GS said that there will be a surplus in chips due to plant expansion. Meanwhile the rest of the gang on Wall Street is forecasting a six percent year-over-year rise in Intel's sales, amid expanding gross margins, Goldman says otherwise and that sales will be flat due to excess capacity.
Furthermore, Intel is expected to face problems dealing with better chips from their main rival AMD: while tablets are cannibalising notebooks with ARM kicking its tail in the mobile space.
Yesterday, Intel stock priced dropped roughly six percent before recovering slightly and stabilizing. We guess investors said to heck with Goldman's predictions and backed Intel on the positive.

Tell the truth above all else
Re: Jason D. Oliver's Oct. 28 letter, "Why veil of secrecy?":
Oliver made reference to the U.S. Supreme Court decision to block release of the names of more than 138,000 people in Washington state who signed a petition seeking to repeal a same-sex domestic-partner law that was on the Nov. 3 ballot.
He asked: "If these alleged 'pro-family' advocates are so confident they are right and are so proud of their efforts to deny full equality to gays and lesbians, why do they feel the need to do so in secret?" He then proceeded to compare the petition signers to the Klu Klux Klan, armed robbers and terrorists. Sadly, that sentence alone should give us insight into the answer. They aren't ashamed of their actions, they fear for their safety.
While I can't speak for those who signed the petition, I will tell Oliver why I unashamedly voted yes on Proposition 8 in California. Simply stated: I believe homosexuality is a sin. It goes against God's design and the Bible plainly calls it an abomination. I also believe that unrepentant sin leads to eternal separation from God, an eternity without light, without love and without hope. I simply can't wish that for anyone.
I know telling people they're sinners may be seen as prejudiced and hateful by people like Oliver. I also know that the central message of Christianity, "that all have sinned and are lost apart from Jesus Christ," is offensive to many. But if you truly love someone, you tell them the truth, even if they don't want to hear it. To do otherwise would be hateful.
