Turner: Cardiff must look forward
Cardiff defender Ben Turner has told his team-mates they will be relegated if they dwell on Malky Mackay's sacking
Turner is also convinced that their former manager would want his players to move on quickly from his departure.
Mackay, who brought the majority of the current squad to the Welsh capital, was dismissed on Friday as his civil war with controversial owner Vincent Tan reached its inevitable conclusion.
The Scot did not get a chance to say goodbye to his players, but their performance during the first hour of the 2-2 draw with Sunderland on Saturday perfectly emphasised the Bluebirds at their best under their former manager.
Goals from Jordon Mutch and Fraizer Campbell gave Cardiff a thoroughly deserved 2-0 lead, only for late goals from Steven Fletcher and Jack Colback to earn Sunderland a share of the spoils.
The result leaves Cardiff two points and two places above the bottom three ahead of the New Year's Day trip to Arsenal.
And centre-half Turner knows the squad cannot afford to dwell on events of recent days and they must follow the example Mackay set them.
"We have to move on," he said. "If we don't then we will get relegated. We have to look forward. It's what we want to do.
"That's the one thing the old manager would say, once the game is over look to the next one.
"Whatever's happened, you focus on the next challenge. So we want to look forward and he'd have wanted us to look forward and carry on. We are at the halfway point and we have a good chance of staying up."
But Turner admits the players have found it difficult to take in that their boss has lost his job
"We have not had time to digest it yet because with the Christmas fixtures they are coming thick and fast and we have had to concentrate on the game.
"I think we approached the Sunderland game in the right manner, as we would have regardless of what's been going on around the club.
"Maybe now we will have time to digest what's actually happened over the last few weeks and then we move on to Arsenal away.
"The manager brought me here and showed a lot of faith in me, but at the same time nothing is forever in football and you have to look forward."
"Obviously we are going to have a manager come in at some point so until then we are very comfortable with the staff we have here and we are uncomfortable with what's going on.
"It's not a problem that we did not get to say goodbye to Malky because it's a free world so you can speak to who you want so I can speak to him anyway. I am sure I will speak to him."

Bernanke's Dilemma
That's the situation facing Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the Fed's board of governors. In the midst of one of the worst economic downturns in the nation's history, Congress has inexplicably decided to cut spending – a sure-fire way to take the air out of the economy's sails.
Typically, the only countries that have to cut spending in a recession are those that have lost the faith of credit markets. They can't pay their debts, and they need to show investors some serious belt-tightening in order to regain the ability to borrow. The United States does not have this problem. Despite the downgrade of its debt by Standard and Poor's, the Treasury has no trouble at all borrowing as much as it wants. In fact, the interest rates the Treasury has to pay these days are among the lowest in history. No one is thinking of turning off the taps.
So if Congress is acting perversely, what's a central banker to do? Last week my colleagues at New York University's Stern School of Business hosted a lecture by the governor of the Reserve Bank of India, Duvvuri Subbarao, in which he openly sympathized with Bernanke's plight. Even if Congress has more effective tools for maximizing employment, Subbarao said, the law states that Bernanke can't sit on the sidelines. Flooding the economy with money is all Bernanke can do.
Of course, floods of money can have bad effects, too. Earlier this week the Bank of England, whose mandate is to maintain inflation near a target set by the British government, pumped an extra £75 million into the economy. The bank's governor, Mervyn King, apologized to Brits on fixed incomes for reducing interest rates and potentially inflating away their savings. In response, the actress Joan Collins tweeted, "75 million pounds!! What does the Bank of England REALLY think this will do for the hard working tax payer & pensioner? Do they care?"
Apparently they do. "This is the most serious financial crisis we've seen at least since the 1930s, if not ever," King said on Britain's Sky News. "We're having to deal with very unusual circumstances and to act calmly and do the right thing." One of the very unusual circumstances is that the British government, like Congress, has been slashing spending. Again, did the Brits have to make these painful sacrifices in order to show the markets that they were creditworthy? No – their credit rating is still AAA, better than that of the United States!
King and Bernanke are the victims of politicians' faulty policy choices. They only have blunt instruments for stimulating the economy, and they're being forced to use them. So spare a thought for your friendly neighborhood central banker – he's trying to clean up a mess that, at least recently, is not of his making.

Recently Apple attempted to answer a common user complaint regarding Wi-Fi issues in iOS 6. The new iOS 6.0.2 update was geared towards the iPad Mini and iPhone 5 in particular, but applied to the iPad and other devices with iOS 6 issues as well.
While it is debatable as to whether this even solved the intended problem, now we have reports that this update might be causing a new issue as well. Shortly after this update, owners have been complaining of that their batteries are draining at a much quicker rate than before upgrading to 6.0.2.
Twitter was inundated with reports from users complaining of the battery drain on their devices. The battery drain does not seem to be earth shattering, but it is a significant different. One user stated, "I was able to go to bed with my phone at 100% charge and wake up with 100%, since updating I wake up with it around 90% charged."
Apple has yet to release any news or statements regarding this problem, but with the iOS 6.1 being right around the corner, they may just ignore it and make sure the new update doesn't have the same issues of battery drain as the 6.0.2 update.
Have you experienced this increased battery drain or is your device getting the same battery performance as usual?
mine has been noticeable battery drain, definitely. my phone was just on standby for 2 hours, and it managed to reduce the battery life by over 10%, and like i said i wasn't even on the phone at all, not texts or calls coming in and still the battery life got reduced. i do remember that before i did 6.0.2 update that wouldn't happen on any iPhone i've had.
No issues here.
I have also experienced extreme battery drain since the update. Last night, my phone was charged to 100% before I went to bed. Phone was dead when I woke up. I had closed all apps before going to bed. What the hell, Apple?
Stop complaining. I have had no issues. At the end of the day, I'm left with about 50% left. Learn how to use the phone before you blame Apple.
Maybe u should shut it. O volubly there are people with issues. I am one. Great battery usage on 601. 602 worse.
Awe, did I hit a nerve? If you don't like it, return your phone. Other than that, like I said, stop complaining and learn how to use your phone.
lol watch out guys, Matt's a tough guy. I dont think that drastic of a change would happen due to people not knowing how to use their phones. Don't be a douche.
2 iPhone 5′s and a iPad mini in my house, no issues with battery drain after the update to 6.0.2
Since 6.02 have been experiencing significantly higher battery drain. Thanks Apple!

Schools should also teach about the real world
Tali Campbell, The StarPublished: Friday, January 11, 2013
Are you ready for the real world?
As I enter the final semester of my final year of high school, I like hundreds of others Grade 12 students here in Nanaimo, am asking myself if we are ready for the real world.
Throughout the 13 years of school we are taught about our ABC's, and our 123's and as we get through to our high school years we are taught about geometry, the French Revolution and how to gut a sheep's eyeball.
But we are never taught how to handle ourselves in the real world.
We come to school late and we just have to fill out a form explaining why.
We swear and we simply get told not to do it again. If we don't hand in our work the deadline gets extended later. Wow, is real life that easy?
In high school I was not taught once about thinking about paying bills. What are bills?
What do I have to pay for? We are never explained how heating bills, rent, car insurance, groceries, etc. work.
We get to do a semester of Planning in Grade 10... not Grade 8, 9, 11 or 12 just one semester.
We get taught about university, our goals in life and how to survive in the real world... all in Grade 10.
Since when was I ready to move out in Grade 10? Shouldn't that course be taught over a period of our high school career... including our senior years?
Lucky for me I have a mom who has taught me about the real world but for some aren't as lucky.
Hundreds of people will be graduating in June not knowing what to do with themselves.
Not knowing the rules of life.
Guess what you can't show up late to work, or swear or miss deadlines. If you do, you get fired.
Sorry to ruin your parade but also once you enter the real world you will have to pay for your own stuff... no, I don't mean candy and sweeties.
I mean groceries, rent and possibly student loans.

Eleven Broward County high school seniors are among the more than 800 recipients nationwide to receive National Achievement Scholarships, presented by the National Achievement Scholarship Program. These outstanding African American students receive scholarships totaling more than $2.5 million, which may be used for undergraduate study at any regionally accredited U.S. college or university.
Sixty-two students from Florida earned the scholarships, and following are the Broward County students who earned $2,500 scholarships:

Funding for the awards is provided by more than 50 corporate organizations and professional associations, and by the National Merit Corporation.
The National Achievement Program is a privately financed academic competition established in 1964 specifically to honor scholastically talented African American youth, and to provide scholarships to a substantial number of the most outstanding participants each year. This year's program marks the 43rd competition in which more than 27,800 total recipients have earned scholarships worth approximately $88 million. The program is conducted by National Merit Scholarship Corporation, a not-for-profit organization that operates without government assistance.
This year's scholarship recipients include 700 winners of National Achievement $2,500 Scholarships and 100 winners of corporate-sponsored Achievement Scholarship awards. More than 140,000 students entered the 2007 National Achievement Program by requesting consideration when they took the 2005 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) as high school juniors.

Orchestral Instruments: Analysis of Performed Transitions
This study concerns the transition between notes as performed by professional (classical) musicians. Nine instruments (flute, piccolo, bass flute, clarinet, bassoon, oboe, trumpet, violin, cello) were recorded. On each instrument, the performer used two playing styles (such as with or without bow change) to connect notes spanning a variety of intervals from major second to minor seventh, ascending and descending. The time-varying spectrum and time-varying power of each transition was analyzed. The resulting data were analyzed to provide insight into performed transitions.

Building A Business Case For Unified Communications
The hype surrounding any emerging technology often shrouds the private sector with mixed feelings, as decision-makers try to decipher whether new offerings will enhance operations, hinder productivity or introduce some bizarre mixture of the two.
Instant Cashflow Improvement and Rapid ROI with Unified Communications
The up-and-down economy of the past several years has highlighted the need to operate more effi ciently and cut costs wherever possible. In most situations, these two notions would seem contradictory, but a number of emerging technologies - cloud computing, virtualization and the bring-your-own-device movement among them - are helping companies accomplish these goals.
The Top Four Pitfalls of Unified Communications
Today's enterprise needs to be agile if decision-makers wish to remain competitive and relevant in the eyes of consumers. As more companies and customers around the world begin leveraging innovative devices like smartphones, tablets and next-generation laptops, the need to deploy unified communications grows alongside it. Neglecting to implement the technology may result in dire consequences that could spell the end of an organization.

Posted: Saturday, August 18, 2012 --- 3:00p.m.
BARABOO, Wis. (AP) -- A Baraboo woman has been arrested after police used a Facebook photo of her bright new hairstyle to connect her to the scene of a burglary.
Krysta L. Skaife is charged with being party to a felony count of burglary. A Baraboo News Republic report (http://bit.ly/OJxsrr ) says the 27-year-old is accused of breaking into a home and taking money and electronics, including two TVs.
The victims' neighbor told police he saw a woman with red hair carrying items to her car. The neighbor knew the suspect's father but didn't know her name.
Police used that information to find a photo posted to Facebook 17 hours earlier that showed her "pinkish-red hair." That allowed the neighbor to confirm her identity.
A message left with Skaife's defense attorney Saturday wasn't immediately returned.

"The Administration has given the Syrian opposition more than six hundred and fifty million dollars in nonmilitary aid, but Obama has consistently opposed arming the rebels or intervening militarily on their behalf. The United States has taken a tenuous position: not deep enough to please the rebels or its allies in Europe, or to topple the regime, or to claim leadership in the war's aftermath—but also, perhaps most important, not so deep that it can't get out."

The landlocked surfer is a special kind of junkie, constantly pouring over forecasts and blowing through cash to get their fix. The thought of going anywhere, for any reason, is consistently overshadowed by the question "Can I score some surf there, brah?"
And when my family decided to travel to Montreal for my Granna's 100th birthday at the end of June, the answer to that question, surprisingly enough, was yes.
Granna was pumped to have us all there. It was the first time we'd all been together since her daughter (my aunt's) funeral ten years earlier. And her eyes, fashionably framed by the same bright green glasses that she's been wearing for the last 40 years, were aglow with appreciation of such loving company.
She also seemed genuinely interested in me surfing the river that had flowed alongside her for the better part of a century.
I didn't take my surfboard, which proved to be a mistake, but I figured I'd at least find the wave and take it from there. Armed with the name of a location, a few mental images and the insatiable desire to get wet, I skated out from my Granna's place searching for surf on a sunny metropolitan morning.
The streets of Montreal can be a dangerous place, especially on a skateboard. I actually had a few overenthusiastic lunatics swerve at me, and not in that funny kind of way. But the pavement was smooth and the travel was fast, so I let gravity take me towards the Old Port of Montreal.
I took a slight detour to have a drink and practice my French (literally, not figuratively) with a nice girl who I'd met at Le Club Supersexe the night before. We connected in La Place Jaques-Cartier, hit the Dépanneur and crushed a couple of frosty beers in Le Champs des Mars, a sunny park that holds archaeological remnants of the old city's walls that date back as far as 1690.
I was getting a taste of the old culture with a touch of the new and it occurred to me that my Poppa Bear, pre-Momma Bear and definitely pre-Mikey Bear, must have had a hell of a time growing up in this riverside city of beautiful humans.
The thought passed quickly enough and I reminded myself that the day was about finding the surf, not lounging around in the sun with some sexy Frenchwoman (did I really just say that?). So I said my goodbyes, hopped on my skate and connected with the paved trail that winds its way through the intricacies of the Lachine Canal.
"Où se trouve le Habitat 67?" got me on the right side of the Canal and all the man-made islands that dot the river there. Ultimately though, it was a man towing a kayak on a bike who led me directly to the spot.
"Merci, mon ami."
All of a sudden, I found myself in the midst of a legitimate surf check. There were a few surfers lazing about in the sun, so that was a good sign. I still couldn't see the wave, so I connected with the beaten path that makes its way upstream along the river bank, eventually hearing the wave before I saw it, roaring gently atop the steady hiss of the current.
And then there it was…just as I'd seen it in the magazines. This hydrological phenomenon of backflow whereby a beautiful wave is created in a set of rapids, standing almost defiantly in the face of the mighty river's current.
It wasn't long before a goofyfooter backed himself into the scoop of the magical beast and popped into a glassy, waist-high righthander for two minutes straight. He would have kept going for longer too, but another surfer paddled in from upstream, cordially kicked him off and claimed his own turn on the machine-like feature. He didn't stay up as long, but he was doing some high performance shit, taking advantage of his forehand to work speed from the pocket and arc his way through a few stylish cutbacks.
This was surfing in Montreal, and damn it looked fine.
There were about 10 people sessioning the wave, two of whom were beginners and would just get swept through the wave and the rapids afterwards, finally clambering out about 50 metres downstream. Looked like fun though and from what little I could tell from the shoreline, it seemed relatively safe.
This is when not having my own gear really started to sting. I'd heard that Imagine Surfboards was the spot to rent gear, but their phone was disconnected and their website was down. So I did some asking around at Habitat 67 and a fellow onlooker mentioned a place upriver called KSF that rented gear and was conveniently located right next to another surfable river wave.
I felt like I was a few steps closer to getting in the water. For now though, it was time to skate back to Granna's and get bossed around by my dad and mom simultaneously. My parents have been divorced for 30 years, so taking shit from both of them at the dinner table was a whole new adventure for me…
The whole situation's a testament to Granna's (and my mom's) character. She's my dad's mom, but they've managed to stay close over the years.
Anyways, the next day it was time to get after it. With only one vehicle and eight family members, snatching Granna's ride proved to be difficult. Habitat 67 was within skating distance, but this other spot up in LaSalle was not. So my cousin and I took what we could get and hijacked the family's Ford Fusion for a few precious hours.
My cousin Geoff and I are two very different humans. He's seven years younger and works driving big rigs in a shitty town just south of Fort Mac. In other words, his Montreal experience would inevitably be different than mine. All I wanted to do was surf, whereas hopping behind the wheel and street racing a couple babes at a stoplight gave the little guy an immeasurable amount of joy.
"This is our grandma's car, you girls wanna race?" proved to be a surprisingly effective line.
They crushed us, but seeing my cousin so happy was a highlight of the trip. Eventually, we found KSF and I hastily rented some gear. We were on borrowed time, so we undertook the whole endeavour with a solid measure of hustle.
La Vague à Guy (directly translated to Guy's Wave) is a ten minute walk upstream from KSF and is known to be a lot more gentle than Habitat 67. It's still a beautiful thing though, and I spent a couple hours trying to solve its nuances while Geoff smoked cigs on the riverbank and spoke terrible French with the locals.
"As tu uhhhhhhhhh lighter?"
At one point, there were about 15 people surfing the wave, which made for 15 minute waits between attempts, but everyone was super friendly and happy enough to offer pointers (in French, of course).
River Surfing's catching on in Montreal and the culture that surrounds it is taking a form that's unique to the incredible city. Wetsuits hang from clusters of bikes in the parks next to the river waves. Surfboards lay scattered in the grass while their owners take five to recharge in the sun. River exploration has played a huge role in the city's history, and this latest form of it seems very natural.
La Vague à Guy was super mellow and the swim afterwards was nice and easy. Although I found out afterwards that this is where a girl had drowned while surfing here at the end of May. Very sad times, but I suppose it's the harsh reality of the sports we love to do.
According to the surfers I spoke with, the swim after the Habitat 67 wave is a lot faster and you get swept way further downstream. But the power of the wave there makes it way better for surfing and the added risk, so long as you're a comfortable swimmer, is justified. Unfortunately, logistics held me back from surfing there before I flew back out west.
But that's not what I was there for.
Granna's party was a smashing success. We ate Egg Salad sandwiches, drank Gin and marveled over her congratulatory letter from the Queen. She stayed up later than usual, smiling non-stop through the whole event.
So the trip was successful where it should have been, and I'm super happy that I was able to get in the water at all. Because when it comes to surfing in Canada, especially in the summertime, you just shut your mouth and take what you can get.
Here's a solid clip of Oz Albiya shredding the wave at Habitat 67:

Fat Chance
Love Her Hate It
Dear LHHI:
Watching someone you love go from normal-size to obese is like watching a casual social drinker turn into a drunk--all the love and understanding in the world don't make it pretty or easy to deal with. The main difference is that now we accept alcoholism as a disease and there are resources everywhere, not only for alcoholics but also for their families. With obesity, however, we're still caught between blaming fat people for their problem and denouncing anyone who dares say it's a problem as "thinist" or "sizeist," or responsible for an epidemic of anorexic kindergartners. While no one should be judged by weight alone, fat isn't merely a matter of who gets to wear a tube top; it's a health issue we're only starting to recognize. Also, while there are about a million diets and exercise programs and support groups for the overweight, sadly there's no fatty-in-the-family equivalent of Al-Anon, at least that I could find.
Whether your wife's problem is purely physical or deeply emotional, she needs help. She also needs to know you love her and want to keep her around for a long time, so make an appointment with a good weight-loss specialist and go with her. You won't be the first conflicted spouse the doctor has met, so be honest about your feelings and ask how you can be supportive without becoming an enabler.
For more than four months I've been getting to know a man I met through an online dating club. At first we only e-mailed, but we got along so well we started talking on the phone, too. We have so much in common, and he makes me feel really special. When he joined the club he'd recently separated from his wife--he said so up front--and he told me they'd be starting divorce proceedings as soon as they wound up some financial business. Then a couple of weeks ago he told me he was moving back in with her and they were going to try again. I was disappointed, because I really liked him. I was even beginning to think I was in love with him, which I know was foolish because I hadn't met him in person yet, but we just felt so connected. I told him I understood and wished him well, and I didn't let him know how sad I was. Now he's calling me all the time and wants to meet me. He says that since the pressure's off for us to fall in love, we can be friends. I think it's OK to stay in touch with him by e-mail and phone, but I'm not sure meeting him would be such a good idea right now.
E-mail Encounter
Dear EE:
What he really means is, now that he's off the commitment hook, it's safe for him to meet you; your emotional safety is irrelevant. He did warn you--any guy fresh out of a marriage gone bad should automatically be considered damaged goods and at least temporarily unavailable. On the other hand, by joining the dating club in the first place, and keeping up the correspondence with you, he encouraged you to believe he might be looking for more than a salve for his bruised ego. And, since he wants to meet you, apparently he does really like you. So what? What's he going to do? Introduce you to his wife as the woman who kept his spirits up until she was ready for another try? Whether or not he decides to keep you a secret, the question is whether or not you feel like being some other woman's husband's gal pal. If so, do what you want. If not, wish him well again, but tell him that you won't be taking his calls or answering his e-mails because you wouldn't feel right getting to know him better at a time when he should be putting that energy into his marriage.

When we think of robots we think of the androids in Hollywood movies and on television. But in reality most robots don't look like C3PO or the Terminator. Most of the robots created today are just a series of mechanical arms or wheels with tools and sensors built in. They don't fit the usual stereotype image of robots that most people have. In the United States, 90 percent of the robots in existence are for use in the manufacturing field assembling and building products for consumers around the world. Of all of those robots more than half of them are being used in the automobile industry.
Over the past thirty-five years or so, robots have completely changed the automobile industry in many ways. Sadly, the use of these robots has also led to many people losing their jobs through cost effectiveness. But the robots have improved the industries with a job efficiency that just couldn't be duplicated by humans. Robots have made assembly lines and factories safer by handling jobs that are too dangerous or too difficult for humans to perform without risk. Cost effectiveness, job efficiency, and safety are the three main reasons that robots have become a big part of the automotive industry.
Cost Effectiveness - The use of robots in the manufacturing area of the automobile industry has saved millions of dollars over the years. By replacing employees with robots, the automobile industry was able to double and triple their production times. In some ways it came down to simple money saving issues like robots not needing lunch breaks or bathroom breaks. Robots never call in sick or take vacations. Robots also don't require health insurance or request raises. A robot can work twenty-four hours a day without a break, and continuously perform the same mundane tasks over and over again virtually non-stop. Even with the expenses of maintenance and occasional breakdowns, robots just make more sense economically for the automobile industry.
Job Efficiency - By replacing human workers with robotic workers, the automotive industry was able to assure that certain jobs would be performed specifically to their expectations. Robots are not limited like humans when it comes to performing many assembly jobs like painting, finishing, welding, riveting, and installation. Robots also don't have restrictions with moving heavy objects or issues of fatigue. Barring any computer errors, robots will almost always get the job done quicker and more efficiently than a human possibly could. Robots are able to be programmed to perform precise intricate duties at much faster speeds than any human could be expected to.
Safety - One of the benefits of robots in the automobile industry is the elimination of humans needing to perform jobs that are dangerous or pose health risks. Because the robots are so efficient, there is no issue with human errors causing accidents or injuries to themselves and others around them. Robots are able to withstand exposure to extreme heat, chemicals in the air, and general physical contact with parts and structures. There are a lot of jobs that pose high risk to a human in the automotive industry that simply make more sense to have a robot perform. The use of robotics in crash-test dummies is also a job that a human would never be able to perform safely. Robots have simply made the work place a safer place by taking over these jobs.
While it is a shame that many jobs that humans could perform are being taken by robots, it does make sense in a business environment to use robots to improve cost effectiveness, job efficiency, and safety. As technology continues to improve, so do the possibilities of more robots being used in the automobile industry.

Turner: Brown Still "A While" AwayPosted by on October 16, 2012 – 2:13 PM
Head coach Norv Turner updated the media today on the status of wide receiver Vincent Brown, who is rehabbing from a broken ankle.
The news wasn't as promising as we had hoped as the second year receiver is still a while away from getting back on the field.
Here is what Turner had to say:
"I don't think we can put a game on (his return). He's in the middle of his rehab, and he's like any other guy who has an injury. He's got to go one step at a time, and when you take one step, then you see where he's at and you see if he can make it to that next step. He has not been on the field yet. It will be a while before we give you specific timing on when he'll be able to play."

Arizona Cardinals
John Skelton inactive against Chicago Bears
John Skelton, who began the season as the Arizona Cardinals' starting quarterback, has officially been listed as inactive for the team's game against the Chicago Bears Sunday.
Skelton has six starts on the season (Arizona is 1-5 in those games), but has not seen time since he went 11-of-22 for 74 yards and four interceptions in the Cardinals' 58-0 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14.
For the season, Skelton has 1,132 passing yards, two touchdowns and nine interceptions.
In addition to his six starts, the former fifth-round pick out of Fordham made one appearance in relief of Kevin Kolb, who was injured in the fourth quarter of Arizona's Week 6 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Brian Hoyer, who signed with the Cardinals on December 10, will backup rookie Ryan Lindley against Chicago.
For his career, Hoyer has 286 passing yards and one touchdown.

Already within the first volume, the world is well established, the Darkling realm is full of creatures, and the artist uses a beautiful palette of colours to distinguish it from the other realms. The political alliances are revealed, allies made, and a mysterious helper appears, all of which makes for a very exciting read. On top of this is a good sense of humour, and amusing characters. Seifer shows a great sense of what is right, and is quick to act on it.
Interesting storyline... Some of the reactions/punchlines made me feel like I was "watching" Pokemon though but I would recommend it.
One of The Greatest comics you can read!!SERIOUSLY!!!
total epicness!!!!!!

Yahoo launches Mafia Wars and FishVille
Yahoo has just launched Mafia Wars and FishVille, two games developed by Zynga, the company best known for FarmVille and its other games on the Facebook platform. In the past few months though, Zynga has shifted away from being tied exclusively to Facebook and has launched its games on Windows Live Messenger, MSN Games -- and now Yahoo.
Mafia Wars and FishVille will appear in Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo Games, My Yahoo, Yahoo Pulse and Yahoo's browser toolbar. Starting the Zynga integration with just two games -- and not the most popular ones (where's FarmVille?) -- clearly means that Yahoo is in sort of a testing phase. If all goes well, expect to see more Zynga titles on Yahoo's properties soon.

Thats almost our budget right there a year, did you plan a massive upgrade/install?
With us here we purchased upgrade licenses as we brought new PCs/Laptops, now though we pay an annual fee to MS which allows us to upgrade all our PCS to any future MS product. Even that fee is no where near your 60k and we are paying for roughly 200 staff.
It's why the saved 100k didnt exist for us, we already had been paying over 10 years worth of MS licenses, some allowed us to 2000-2003 others allowed us 2003-2007 etc.

Chase CVS Protest
Stop Chase Bank and CVS Pharmacy from Moving Downtown!!!
OccupySebastopoland community members will be protesting the CVS/Chase project proposed on the corner of Highway 12 and 116. The majority of the community has not supported this project. The Design Review Board, Planning Commission, and City Council have all voted against this project. It is still an issue because of the persistence of CVS, Chase, and Armstrong Development. To be successful in stopping this project, we must also be persistent.
All are welcome and encouraged to join us at 3pm on Thursday the 24th to protest CVS and Chase moving downtown. After meeting in the plaza we will move to the corner of hwy 12/116 where we will peacefully demonstrate against this project.
Let the city council know how you feel on Tuesday the 29th. Let the DRB know how you feel on Wednesday the 30th(THIS IS POSSIBLY THE FINAL MEETING WHERE A DECISION WILL BE MADE; IMPORTANT TO ATTEND)
- This project is bad for traffic, local business, andSebastopol's character.
- CVS has payed out almost half a billion dollars to settle various lawsuits and fines, ranging from illegal labor practices and deceptive business practices, to racketeering, corruption, and the mishandling of toxic waste.
- JP Morgan Chase received $94.7 billion in bail-out funds, of which $64 billion is still on the backs of tax payers. Chase is among the leaders in home foreclosures and is under investigation by the New York State Attorney General over allegations of its fraudulent foreclosure practices. They are now under investigation by the FBI and SEC regarding their recent loss of 3 billion dollars.
Do these two corporations seem like the kind of businesses and neighbors we want in our community, at the heart of our town? If not, join us on Thursday.
Shame on SSU protest of Sady Weill, CEO Citigroup, a Success
After four years of teaching various humanities courses at SSU, I'm sad to report that our school recently sank to a new low. It awarded the notorious banker Sandy Weill, retired CEO of Citigroup, and his wife Joan honorary doctorates. They purchased them for $12 million, which they gave to the Green Music Center, an essentially non-educational pet project of President Ruben Arminana that has dominated fund-raising at SSU.
"These awards by SSU are reprehensible in light of Sandy Weill's role in bringing about the economic crisis that has seized this nation," said SSU sociology professor Noel Byrne. "The consequences have been dire for the SSU community of faculty, staff, students, graduates, alumni and their families, in the form of elevated tuition, reduced funding for education, auctioned homes, dashed dreams, burdensome debts, loss of employment opportunities, and resultant tragedies of an array of sorts."
The May 12 graduation was a disgrace. When it was announced that the Weills would receive an honorary degree, students, faculty, and alumni began organizing a direct action against that dishonorable degree. Occupy activists and other community members joined, as did groups such as the Living Wage Coalition and the Peace and Justice Center.
With respect for the hard-working graduating students who earned their degrees, the peaceful action focused on educating the 10,000 students, faculty, family members, and friends who attended the two graduation ceremonies. Thousands of flyers documenting Weill's substantial abuses as the architect of subprime mortgages and consequential foreclosures and evictions were passed out. Dozens of articles appeared in publications around the region, nationally, and even internationally. Radio stations and a television station reported the action on news and talk shows. A county-wide coalition came into being which has helped build community and solidarity.
Dressed in black, students, family members, faculty, alumni, and others turned their backs in a dignified shunning when the doctorates were bestowed.
California's greatness is due partly to the extensive public higher education that used to be available here. That system is being privatized and corporatized by the 1% to further meet its elite needs, which this doctorate represents.
The last issue of the campus newspaper, the May 8 Star, ran the banner headline "Day of Shame at SSU" across the front-page, written by its news editor. The opinion page had two further articles, one entitled "Day of Shame: Wrong Place, Wrong Time" by the editor-in-chief. Those articles, as well as others, are at ShameOnSSU.org.
The newspaper appeared on stands Monday; it was soon taken away. A faculty member wrote the following on the faculty email listserve: "An SSU staff member observed SSU employees removing issues of the Star that had front page information on the controversy regarding the honorary degree process. This is truly disheartening."
An SSU vice-president admitted, "Some newspapers were removed as part of efforts to clean the campus for graduation - something they do every year. I have directed the Facilities Team to return the papers."
However, another faculty member reported the following: "I remember there being Star newspapers after nearly every Spring semester I've worked here. Some years I've been able to grab a copy well into July." Though copies may have been temporarily returned, they soon were vanished again.
"The editor of the Star estimates that 95 percent of newspapers have been removed," wrote the Star's faculty advisor. "This is unacceptable and a shot across the bow of the First Amendment. These so-called cleaning efforts that included the Star removal are an affront to free speech on our campus. The Day of Shame is now. Is this some attempt to cover up our controversies? I join with those who believe in freedom of speech to ask that a full accounting of what happened to these papers be made."

OWS – Report from New York
OWS – Report from New York
by Sonoma County's own, Michael Levitin,
Michael will discuss the role of independent press in the Occupy Movement and how citizen/journalists can contribute. We will hear a first-hand account of what happened early on at OWS and what is currently going on there as he tells about trends, growth and conflicts within the movement ahead of big spring actions.
Michael graduated from Forestville's El Molino High School in 1994 and went on to study journalism. He now lives in New York City and is deeply involved with Occupy, using his journalistic background to give voice to the movement at the Occupied Wall Street Journal.
This conversation is especially timely as a new bilingual publication is about to be launched, the Occupied Press–North Bay / Prensa Ocupada – Bahía Norte. There, citizen journalists will reflect the ideas and stories of the 99%.

Sonoma County Daily Attacks Occupy Movement
Sonoma County Daily Attacks Occupy Movement
By Shepherd Bliss
February 3, 2012
The Press Democrat's Feb. 1 editorial "Occupy Movement in Ashes" is wishful thinking. Our phoenix will rise during this month. You wait. You watch. You see.
Occupy is still an infant, having been born in New York Sept. 17 with Occupy Wall Street. It is not even five months old and already the local daily tries to editorialize it into ashes. Rumors of our death are premature. We have made mistakes, including in Oakland. We're learning and experiencing what one activist calls "growing pains." Provoked by police violence in Oakland, a few cornered occupiers among the 2000 present reacted. That has not happened here. The Sonoma County Occupy Town Hall Affinity Group--of which I am a member--opposes violence, as do the overwhelming majority of Occupy groups and individuals.
I do, however, respect the right of self-defense by those cornered by the police. As Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "Violence is the voice of the unheard." And as President John F. Kennedy said at a 1962 speech at the White House, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
What would you do when surrounded by a large group of armed, masked, threatening, charging, and rioting armored men? I praise the brave souls willing to face such police violence. As one occupier wondered, "What's next? Live ammunition?"
Punishing people in a democracy should be the job of the courts, not the police, which Oakland police are notorious for doing. They fan the flames.
