This morning, the New York Times and Think Progress broke news that Koch Industries, the conservative/libertarian manufacturing conglomerate headed up by billionaires Charles and David Koch, is planning a meeting in January to "develop strategies to counter the most severe threats facing our free society and outline a vision of how we can foster a renewal of American free enterprise and prosperity."
As reported by the Times, the "Koch network meets twice a year to plan and expand its efforts." Their most recent meeting took place in Aspen, Colorado, in June of this year to strategize about the upcoming elections, and featured none other than Fox News' own Glenn Beck, who gave a talk about whether America is on the "Road to Serfdom."
The Aspen meeting took place the weekend of June 26-27. On Tuesday, June 29, Beck attacked Al Gore and his film An Inconvenient Truth on his Fox News program. In the middle of his screed about climate science and GDP, Beck said: "I want to thank Charles Koch for this information."
Beck did not explain to his audience who Charles Koch is. As we noted at the time, Koch Industries is heavily involved in the petroleum, chemicals and energy sectors. Charles Koch and other people affiliated with his organization spoke at the June meeting.
In the letter posted by Think Progress inviting people to the upcoming January meeting, Charles Koch explains that "this is a gathering of doers who are willing to engage in the hard work necessary to advance our shared principles." [emphasis in original] They've apparently found a helpful ally in Glenn Beck, who is willing to advance their "shared principles" on his Fox News show.
While Fox News has countless ethically dubious relationships with GOP candidates - Christine O'Donnell saying she has Hannity in her "back pocket" springs to mind - the network's promotion of Ohio gubernatorial candidate John Kasich stands out as uniquely absurd.
As we've documented, Kasich is the former Fox News host that is currently the GOP candidate for governor in Ohio. In addition to repeatedly using his platform as a Fox host to position himself for a run, Kasich continued to appear regularly - in at least 123 segments* - on-air as a Fox contributor from the time he announced that he was paving the way for a gubernatorial run in March of 2008 until he officially declared his candidacy on June 1, 2009. Since declaring his candidacy, Kasich has continued to reap benefits from his cozy relationship with the network, with several hosts campaigning for him and openly rooting for him.
As we noted earlier, Sean Hannity is currently under fire for allowing Kasich to promote his website and fundraise on Hannity's show on Thursday night. But Kasich's appearance on Hannity wasn't his only appearance on the network in the past few days.
On Saturday, Fox News host Mike Huckabee invited Kasich onto his show to field softballs about his modest upbringing and conservative bona fides. During the intro for the segment, Huckabee noted "in the interest of full disclosure" that he is "a friend of John and his wife Karen." He added that "as someone who has endorsed him, I am not the least bit objective." You don't say.
Tonight, Glenn Beck endeavored to teach his audience about the evils of environmentalists and environmental science with Wallbuilders Founder David Barton and Calvin Beisner, the Founder of the Cornwall Alliance.
As we've noted, as Beck has attempted to transform himself into a spiritual leader, he has surrounded himself with religious and secular figures that share a hatred for the "homosexual agenda." We can add Beisner to that list.
As reported by DeSmog Blog, in 1990, Beisner wrote an article arguing against the "militant homosexuals" that were calling for an increase in federal spending on AIDS research, treatment and education. Beisner asked if it was "rational" to increase funding to "fight a disease that is almost 100 percent self-inflicted by people intent on immoral and irrational behavior?"
Beisner was joined on Beck's show by David Barton, whom Beck has labeled "the most important man in America." Barton has written about "Why Should Homosexuality Concern a Society?" and once buttressed an argument against open service by homosexuals in our military by writing that homosexuality "was long considered too morally abhorrent and reprehensible to openly discuss." Barton also reportedly spoke at an event to promote and anti-gay marriage amendment, and his WallBuilders group published an election guide in 2008 fearmongering about Obama's supposed support for a "curriculum that promotes homosexuality."
Nice friends you have there, Glenn.
Have you heard about how Michael Savage "saved talked radio" and how his latest book could "change the course of human events"? If not, then you haven't been listening to Michael Savage lately.
Among the upper echelons of conservative media, there are a lot of big egos. Rush Limbaugh frequently proclaims that he is over 99 percent accurate (he isn't even close.) Glenn Beck thinks God arranged the date of his 8-28 rally so that it coincided with the anniversary of MLK's landmark "I Have a Dream" speech, and said the rally would mark a "turning point" in American history.
Savage has been giving both of them a run for their money this week with his effusive praise for himself and his new book, which, if he is to be believed, will soon take it's place alongside The Republic, The Communist Manifesto, Uncle Tom's Cabin, and other historic sociopolitical tracts.
It should be noted that Savage isn't alone in praising Trickle Up Poverty. This morning Ted Nugent reviewed the book in The Washington Times:
Michael Savage swings a literary crowbar of truth and writes with a sledgehammer style. He pulls no punches and goes right for the jugular with facts, not vacuous hyperbole like "hope and change." Mr. Savage is my kind of radio host and my kind of writer. I crave all things bold, unapologetic, defiant, witty and smart. "Trickle Up Poverty" satisfies my cravings and then some. Read it and then dance naked around the campfire of truth.
Michael Savage couldn't have said it better himself...though he'll certainly try.
Apparently Glenn Beck isn't the only Fox News figure that thinks God speaks through them. According to a report by The New Republic's Bradford Plumer on Ralph Reed's return to prominence after being linked to con man Jack Abramoff, Reed told a gathering in Washington, D.C. that Fox News' Sean Hannity convinced him to come back to the political fray. Considering Hannity's long history of GOP boosterism, this is not particularly notable. What is notable how Reed claims Hannity accomplished this:
"Broken" was once the perfect word to describe Reed's career. In 2006, his campaign for Georgia's lieutenant governorship imploded after investigators revealed his work with con man Jack Abramoff. Reed, the choirboy-faced moralist, had been secretly lobbying on behalf of an Indian casino, and the press was quick to write his political obituary. But after Barack Obama swept into the White House on the strength of a high-tech political organizing juggernaut, friends implored Reed--the former executive director of the Christian Coalition and one of the key architects of the GOP congressional takeover in 1994--to get back in the game. As Reed tells his audience at the Mayflower, a phone call from Sean Hannity persuaded him. "I wanted to know that this was not me," Reed says, "that this was not any ambition of mine. I wanted to know that this was the Lord." Reed breaks into a sly grin as he recounts Hannity's response: "Ralph, God is speaking through this phone line right now, and he's using me to deliver the message."
Apparently, after Reed returned to politics, he chose to help Hannity's Fox News colleague (and self-proclaimed fellow vessel for God) Glenn Beck assist with the founding of the Black Robe Regiment. Beck has since invited his "friend" Reed onto his radio show to thank him for his role in the 8-28 rally.
Reed was actually not the only Abramoff-linked figure involved with Beck's 8-28 rally. Black Robe Regiment member and repeated Beck guest Rabbi Daniel Lapin is the man whom Abramoff reportedly "credits" with "introducing him to" Tom DeLay.
To recap: God is supposedly speaking through Fox News hosts, and he's telling them to help rehabilitate the political prospects of people linked to convicted felon Jack Abramoff.
In politics, hyperbolic language is the rule, not the exception.
Since Obama has taken office, conservative media figures have taken things to a ridiculous level. Civil war! Revolution! Death panels! Shariah law! Streets on fire!
The constant drumbeat of over-the-top rhetoric is exhausting, and it can be difficult to pinpoint comments deserving of closer attention. However, prominent conservative media figures -- including two who double as putative candidates for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination -- have taken to invoking Armageddon. And I don't mean "Armageddon" in the metaphorical "the world is going to end if we pass health care" sense -- they are invoking actual Biblical Armageddon.
Yesterday, during a conversation with the conservative publication Newsmax, Sarah Palin engaged in the favorite conservative pastime of pushing for war with Middle Eastern countries and warned that allowing Iran to acquire nuclear weapons "is not just Israel's problem or America's problem, it is the world's problem. It could lead to an Armageddon. It could lead to that World War III that could decimate so much of this planet."
Clearly, Palin's invocation of "Armageddon" did not bother Fox News -- quite the opposite, in fact. They promoted her interview with Newsmax on Fox Nation, using her comment as the headline:
If you are unfamiliar with Iran and Israel's role in the (always) impending Armageddon, Pastor John Hagee can help explain. Back in June, Glenn Beck hosted Hagee on his Fox News show and labeled him one of the "brave preachers" that "need to start standing up." During that show, Beck plugged Hagee's "excellent" new book, Can America Survive? 10 Prophetic Signs That We Are The Terminal Generation, saying that he "just started to read last night."
A couple of weeks ago, Forbes published a falsehood-ridden cover story from pseudo-intellectual hatchet man Dinesh D'Souza about Barack Obama's supposed "anti-colonial" worldview. Though D'Souza's theory drew praise from people like Newt Gingrich and Glenn Beck, the article became an embarrassment for Forbes. After the publication initially defended the piece by laughably claiming that it's "facts" were not in contention (they were), the fact-checker they tasked with vetting the article -- after it had already been published -- turned up inaccuracies and the magazine was impelled to issue a correction.
The article drew criticism from, among many others, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and Forbes columnist Shikha Dalmia, who ripped D'Souza's "intellectual goofiness," "factual problems," and "unsubstantiated ideological accusations."
Apparently not content to sit idly by while Forbes took the lion's share of embarrassment for promoting baseless smears of the president, the Washington Post decided to give D'Souza a platform in their paper this morning to explain "Why Barack Obama is an anti-colonialist." As we detailed this week, D'Souza's new book laying out this theory is filled with absurd leaps of logic, baseless accusations, and outright lies. Why, after D'Souza's lies have already been exposed and another publication already got burned by his serial mendacity, did the Post think it was a good idea to give him space to misinform their readers?
Last year, after the Post gave Sarah Palin column space to spread numerous falsehoods about climate science, op-ed editor Autumn Brewington defended the decision to publish the op-ed because Palin "is someone who stirs discussion and we are in the business of putting out opinion." Essentially, the Post argued that they are content to publish garbage, as long as you'll click on it.
While this D'Souza op-ed is sure to "stir discussion," that discussion is likely going to focus on the lack of standards at the Post and the ongoing trainwreck that is their op-ed page. Is that really the type of discussion they want to have?
Earlier, we noted Rupert Murdoch's lame explanation for News Corp.'s recent donations to the Republican Governor's Association and GOP-aligned Chamber of Commerce. In short, Murdoch laughably claimed that the donation to the RGA "had nothing to do with Fox News" because he only gave the money due to his friendship with John Kasich, the former Fox News host that is currently the Republican nominee for Ohio Governor.
Discussing Fox's million dollar donation to Chamber of Commerce, Murdoch told Politico's Keach Hagey that News Corp. "didn't expect" the donation to become public. This raises the question: why is News Corp., which owns the largest cable news organization in the country, making secret political donations to GOP-aligned groups? And based on Fox's non-stop boosterism of the GOP, it's worth asking: has News Corp. made any other donations to GOP-aligned groups that they didn't "expect" will become public?
Last night, Politico's Keach Hagey got a response from Rupert Murdoch about News. Corp.'s recent million dollar donations to the GOP-aligned Chamber of Commerce and the Republican Governors' Association. Murdoch claims that the donation to the RGA "doesn't reflect on Fox News" and "had nothing to do with Fox News." Murdoch buttresses this assertion by stating that the gift was actually a result of his "friendship with John Kasich."
Murdoch apparently has an interesting definition of "nothing to do with Fox News." John Kasich is the former Fox News host who is currently running for governor of Ohio. Kasich was with Fox News for nine years and used his platform there to position himself for his eventual run for governor. Despite announcing in March of 2008 that he was paving the way for a gubernatorial run, Kasich continued to appear regularly -- in at least 123 segments* -- on-air as a Fox contributor and host until he formally announced his run on June 1, 2009.
After Kasich officially declared his candidacy, he has continued to benefit from his close relationship with the network, with Fox hosts and personalities campaigning for him, offering him easy interviews/infomercials, and openly rooting for his candidacy. As Hagey noted, Kasich's relationship with the network has raised ethical concerns in the past. The Democratic Governors Association "filed a complain with the Ohio Elections Commission accusing Fox News of making an illegal in-kind donation to Kasich by running a chyron featuring Kasich's website while he was on 'The O'Reilly Factor' soliciting donations."
RGA chairman Haley Barbour has previously said that he "asked Rupert Murdoch to help us, and he thought about it, and called me back, and said he wanted to help us. I'm very grateful."
Fox News is so far down the ethical rabbit hole that Murdoch apparently thinks "this donation had nothing to do with Fox News, I was only donating because I'm close friends with the former Fox News host running for Governor of Ohio" is a reasonable explanation. News. Corp's treatment of Kasich bodes well for their current stable of no less than five potential 2012 Republican presidential candidates.
And what about Fox's other million dollar donation to the GOP-aligned Chamber of Commerce? Well, Murdoch has an explanation for that, too. See, he "didn't expect" it to become public, and News. Corp is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, so Murdoch "just thought [he] was being a good member."
Add another example to Rupert Murdoch's "see no evil" approach to his flagship news property.
*CLARIFICATION: This post has been updated to clarify that Kasich appeared in at least 123 segments on Fox News. When Kasich guest-hosted The O'Reilly Factor, Media Matters counted each segment.
Continuing her ongoing quest to embarrass herself and the media outlets that treat her as an expert (instead of an anti-Muslim bigot -- that means you, Fox Business), Pam Geller announced this morning that the design of the Park51 Islamic community center includes "Tumbling Star of Davids [sic]." Have a look for yourself:
Under the image, she announces that the "Islamic supremacists get more bold and naked in their motive." While Geller is content to play Magic Eye with artists' renderings in order to argue that the people behind Park51 are anti-Semites, in the real world, Imam Rauf reportedly said that he can "confidently assert that I am closer to my Jewish and Christian brothers...than the Muslim militants carrying a narrow view."
Geller has a long history of finding secret hidden messages in otherwise innocuous images. She has discovered imaginary Islamic crescents in the 2010 Nuclear Summit logo and the design of the Flight 93 memorial. In March, she claimed that a preponderance of "purple" -- actually blue -- neckties on Democratic officials meant that Obama and Democrats were "Flying The Gangsta Colors At The White House." However, if Geller wants to win the race to the bottom for finding absurd architectural reasons for opposing Park51, she'll have to work harder to outdo NewsBusters' "chilling" revelation that the center has four sides and is shaped like a building.

This could be the hottest dish you'll ever read. The 1996 "Marilyn Merlot" has just been released, with the dishy blond on the label. A different picture from the star's estate adorns the bottle every year, and there are actually oenophiles who refuse to buy the wine because of the glitzy label, but most customers who buy "Marilyn Merlot" don't usually buy wine. Only 2,000 or so cases are made a year, so "Marilyn" is a real collector's item, and because the winemaker had no idea how popular the wine would be, it kept no old vintages. Wisely, Jasper Russo at Marty's put back two cases of last year's "Marilyn" (which are now for sale). "Marilyn Merlot" is available in only a few markets, and Marty's gets calls for the wine--which Russo calls "a good wine packaged provocatively"--from all over the country. OK, the bottle is good-looking, but how good is the wine? "Better than it has to be," according to Russo.
In Dallas, you can only get it at Marty's for $23.50 a bottle, with a discounted case price.

(Updates with closing share price in third paragraph.)
Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Yell Group Plc is proposing to cut its revolving credit less than formerly planned and is offering higher fees to non-bank lenders to obtain their consent for debt amendments, according to a person with knowledge of the talks.
The publisher of U.K. yellow pages directories wants to reduce the facility by 100 million pounds ($156.4 million) to 75 million pounds, said the person, who declined to be identified because the deal is private. Yell is also offering an extra 25 basis-point fee to those invested only in its term loans.
Stock of the Reading, U.K.-based company has dropped 62 percent this year to 5.44 pence a share after full-year revenue fell 12.4 percent to 1.88 billion pounds, as its printed directory business declines with customers switching to digital media. Yell is seeking relaxed borrowing conditions and to buy back 160 million pounds of loans at a discount to allay debt repayment concerns.
Under earlier proposals, Yell planned to reduce its revolving credit by 142.6 million pounds to return cash to lenders including HSBC Holdings Plc, Deutsche Bank AG and Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc. Non-bank lenders blocked the original plan on the basis that the buyback is skewed toward banks in the revolving credit and that it would leave the company too strapped for cash.
The deadline for voting has been extended to 5 p.m. on Dec. 16, the person said.
Yell needs support from at least two-thirds of debt holders for the amendments to pass. The new terms would require Yell to keep at least 50 million pounds at the end of each month after debt repurchases, and that revolving credit funds may not be used to repurchase debt, the person said.
Yell spokesman Jon Salmon declined to comment. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.

Modi knows very well that he's nothing before aap culture.....Answered by vijay, 24 Mar 03:20 pm
Kejriwal has no place for communal forces. He will contain them firmly. Sangh Parivar, the biggest terrorist organisation of the world is planning to kill Kerjriwal. Yes, hypocrisy is there with all old parties. It is a power game sans any principle. The old parties are seeing great danger to their future in next General Elections this year. AAP's popularity is unprecedented, they're unable to digest. They're highly surprised how could this miracle party arrived unexpectedly. That shows their POOR POLITICAL CALCULATIONS, understandings & PLANNINGS. A good planner must anticipate all odds. Actually, Arvind Kejriwal is much better politician by true & workable understandings with great talent despite having no experience. Kejriwal has only started work only weeks ago giving his best possible for common man. He showed results despite all odds in water & electricity matters. Other things, he is clearing one by one. His party is free from corruptions & all traditional bureaucratic delays. ...moreAnswered by Mickey, 24 Mar 01:35 pm

My Dad's Hot Girlfriend Tube Video
4 minute long tube clip!
4 minute long tube clip!
After a sexy striptease we get to see Chloe nude on the massage bench getting her smooth body oiled up by a horny masseur. He would soon trick her to suck his giant rod then spread her legs so he could pound her tight twat.
Watch the video from this scene here!
Chloe invites a security guard into her tool shed. There were many tools there but she was only interested in one; the one located in his pants!
So after making out with him her next move was to unzip his fly and suck his penis. She gave great head as always before she rode him in cowgirl position like there was no tomorrow. He wanted to jizz on her face and she accepted it with a big smile :)
Watch the video from this scene here!
Chloe was upset that her boyfriend broke up with her via sms. When she arrived at his house only his son was home and he could tell her his father had gone on vacation with his new girl. This made her even more furious and she wanted to get back at him at all cost!
His son was an easy target so she seduced him and started to suck his cock. He felt he betrayed his father but the BJ was so fucking nice that he let her go on. He also got to taste her ripe twat before he got to shag her in many hot positions on the sofa.
Watch the video from this scene here!
Chloe was feeling sore so she called up her masseur. When he showed up she forgot all about the massage though cause she was horny as hell. He didn't mind fucking this tight latina so he offered up his big schlong which she sucked immediately.
He made sure to lick her vagina good so it was nice and wet before he let her sit on it. He gave her a helluva pounding before he pulled out and covered her face in semen.
Watch the video from this scene here!
5 minute long tube video!

A new exhibit exploring natural history illustration from the 1500s to the 1800s opens Friday, September 12, at UT's McClung Museum of Natural History and Culture. Some of the rare books on display are on loan from the University Libraries' Special Collections. Special Collections items include works of zoological and botanical illustration, notably a 1665 imprint of the historic Micrographia, by Robert Hooke.
"Birds, Bugs, & Blooms: Natural History Illustration from the 1500s–1800s" will run through January 4, 2015, and explores over 300 years of the intersection of science and art in natural history illustration.
More than fifty rare books, prints, and objects are on view, highlighting how increasing access to books, travel, and technology, as well as the evolution of knowledge, changed the way in which illustrations were created and interpreted. From fantastical images of beasts in the 1500s, to extremely accurate depictions of plants and animals in the 1800s, the illustrations in the exhibit demonstrate the rapid advances of natural history during the print age.
Several exhibit-related programs are planned. Free family programming includes exhibit-related Family Fun Days on September 27 and November 1, and a Stroller Tour for parents, caregivers and young children on October 6.
Other programming includes a natural history illustration workshop, "Using Scratchboard to Create Lifelike Illustrations" on October 5, and lectures on natural history and illustration by Barney Lipscomb, Leonhardt Chair of Botany at the Botanical Research Institute of Texas, on October 22, and UT Professor of History Denise Phillips on November 6.
See the exhibit page for more programming details: http://tiny.utk.edu/birdsbugsblooms.
"Birds, Bugs, & Blooms" is curated by Catherine Shteynberg and Christine Dano Johnson. Lenders include Arader Galleries, Dr. Gordon Burghardt, the National Museum of Health and Medicine, and UT Special Collections. The exhibit is presented by Arader Galleries, W. Graham Arader III, UT Federal Credit Union, the Ready for the World Initiative, ARAMARK, Bennett Galleries, and the Ardath & Joel E. Rynning Museum Fund. Additional support is provided by Knox County, the City of Knoxville, and the Arts & Heritage Fund.
The McClung Museum is located at 1327 Circle Park Drive. Museum admission is free, and the museum's hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sundays. Free two-hour museum parking passes are available from the parking information building at the entrance to Circle Park Drive on the weekdays. Free parking is available on Circle Park Drive on a first-come, first-served basis on weekends. Free public transportation to the museum is also available via the Knoxville Trolley Vol Line.
Additional parking information is available at http://mcclungmuseum.utk.edu/visit/parking.

World Academy of Neurological Surgery selected Professor Madjid Samii as the 2014 Golden Neuron Award Winner. The award was announced during a ceremony held at the biannual meeting of the World Academy of Neurological Surgery in Vienna on October 11, 2014. Iranian neurosurgeon and medical scientist, Professor Samii, had earlier received the 2014 Leibniz Ring Prize in Berlin.
Dr. Behrokh Khoshnevis of the University of Southern California has been named the Grand Prize Winner in the 2014 Create the Future Design Contest for the invention of "Robotic Building Construction by Contour Crafting".
The prestigious technology award contest is organized by NASA Tech Briefs Media Group and is sponsored by Intel, HP and a number of other major industries. The judges of the contest have selected Contour Crafting as the top technology (over all categories) to receive the Grand Prize.
The celebrity sex videos Create the Future Design Contest was launched in 2002 by the publishers of NASA Tech Briefs magazine to help stimulate and reward engineering innovation. The annual event has attracted more than 8,000 product design ideas from scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and students worldwide.
The 2014 Create the Future Design Contest recognized innovation in design in seven categories: Aerospace & Defense, Automotive/Transportation, Consumer Products, Electronics, Machinery/Automation/Robotics, Medical, and Sustainable Technologies. This year, more than 1000 entrants from across the globe submitted their design ideas to have a chance of winning the Grand Prize, as well as prizes for each of the seven category prizes. We congratulate the Iranian community for this great International achievement of one of its members.

The Holweck Medal for 2014 has been awarded to Professor Ramin Golestanian "for his pioneering contributions to the field of active soft matter, particularly microscopic swimmers and active colloids." The gold medal and a prize of Eu3000 is awarded by the Société Française de Physique, and will be presented to Professor Golestanian at a ceremony in Paris on August 27.
Dr. Golestanian is a professor at the Oxford University's Rudolf Peierls Center for Theoretical Physics. He obtained his BS from the Sharif University of Technology and his MS and PhD from the Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences (IASBS), both in Iran.
Ramin has been a visiting scholar at MIT, postdoctoral fellow at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at UCSB, Joliot Chair and CNRS Visiting Professor at ESPCI, and visiting professor at College de France. Before joining Oxford, he held academic positions at the University of Sheffield.
This award was instituted in 1945, jointly by the French and British Physical Societies as a memorial to Fernand Holweck, Director of the Curie Laboratory of the Radium Institute in Paris, France. The money for the prize was, initially, subscribed by Fellows of The Physical Society and others. A medal, originally in bronze, but since 1972 in gold, is given by the Société Française de Physique. The award is made in alternate years by the Councils of one of the two societies to a physicist selected from a list of nominees submitted by the other.
The award will be made for distinguished work in any aspect of physics that is ongoing or has been carried out within the 10 years preceding the award. In selecting the recipient of the award, the primarily experimental interest of Holweck will be borne in mind. The award is now made in odd-dated years to a physicist based in France and presented in the UK or Ireland and in even-dated years to a physicist based in the UK or Ireland and presented in France.
Each naked celebrities year the MIT Technology Review reveals its annual list of Innovators Under 35.

She has held postdoctoral fellowships at Harvard Medical School and in the EECS department at the University of California, Berkeley. She has received various awards for academic achievement including the Professional Engineers of Ontario gold medal, the W.S. Wilson medal, and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada doctoral fellowship.
Dr. celebrity porn Shanechi's research focuses on applying the principles of information and control theories and statistical signal processing to develop effective solutions for basic and clinical neuroscience problems that involve the collection and manipulation of neural signals and information. One problem of particular interest to her is brain-machine interface design for motor function, for closed-loop control of anesthesia, and for control of neuropsychological disorders. Her work combines methodology development with in vivo implementation and testing.

Maryam Mirzakhani, a professor of mathematics at Stanford, has been awarded the 2014 Fields Medal, the most prestigious honor in mathematics. Mirzakhani is the first woman to win the prize, widely regarded as the "Nobel Prize of mathematics," since it was established in 1936.
Officially known as the International Medal for Outstanding Discoveries in Mathematics, the Fields Medal was presented by the International Mathematical Union on Aug. 13 at the International Congress of Mathematicians, held this year in Seoul, South Korea.
The award recognizes Mirzakhani's sophisticated and highly original contributions to the fields of geometry and dynamical systems, particularly in understanding the symmetry of curved surfaces, such as spheres, the surfaces of doughnuts and of hyperbolic objects. Although her work is considered "pure mathematics" and is mostly theoretical, it has implications for physics and quantum field theory.

Yes, it's from New Vegas. With Bill from Left 4 Dead on it. So, we could get sued because we're using an image that contains property of two different companies, one being known to encourage this sort of thing and the other only worrying if you actually try to make money with it. Therefore, there's really not that much of a problem with it.
Bethesda does not allow for the creation or release of standalone content with their IP. If this is a mod, then it would obviously be allowed, but using it for and releasing it as art from your project you could get sued.

Prentis House
Prentis House is named for Katharine Prentis Murphy, an influential collector of antiques who donated many of the high-style 17th- and 18th-century furnishings on display in the house. The installation is one of the few surviving examples of the Colonial Revival aesthetic that was so prevalent in museum period rooms in the first half of the 20th century.
Prentis House is a saltbox built in Hadley, Massachusetts in 1773 and moved to the Museum in 1955. Its massive central chimney has seven flues that meet on the second floor in a huge beehive-shaped form.
The house features William and Mary furniture, English delftware, stumpwork embroideries, and crewel bedhangings.

Discounts & sample sales are a great benefit.
A lot of re-visiting the same projects & revising plans.

I worked at Bon-Ton Stores full-time (more than 5 years)Pros
People within your team are generally helpful and camaraderie is built quickly around your common suffering. Outside of the few friends made there, there isn't much decent to say about the place.Cons
Where to begin? The work environment is rather laid back because there isn't much direction; most days no one knows what you do if you do anything at all. If you don't want to learn or grow your career or knowledge, this is the place to be. I honestly feel stupider for having worked there. In over 5 years I was given a cumulative total of a 3% raise which was high for my department. The work environment is dirty and unkept, there is way too much middle management and none of them care about anything except themselves. We were subjected to 3 layoffs in my 5 year employment period (all of which I survived) and created a constant fear of not having a job at any given point and cultivated a feeling of apathy towards the success of the ompany There are constant bad monetary decisions made which had many of us puzzled as to how the company remained in business for so long. My title says it all; avoid this place like the plague.Advice to ManagementAdvice
People have talent and aren't expendable. Invest in your employees, allow them to grow and listen to their ideas. Giving people some value will in turn increase the value of the company. If you don't, you'll need to hire a band cause that's the only difference between the Bonton and the Titanic.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

Garden Plot: The right roses and other Mother's Day tips
Bobby in Fairfax writes, "Mother's Day is right around the corner, and my wife saw a beautiful rose bush growing outside a home in Annapolis we'd like to be able to present as a Mother's Day gift. The flowers were multiple colors: red, pink and white. Please help me with the name and where I can find this particular rose."
Garden Plot: Timing your tomatoes - and other tomato tips
If you live in the District or in one of the region's more southern suburbs, tomato planting time can pretty much be here if you want as your ten-day forecast shows the nighttime temperatures staying reliably in the 60s and high-50s.
Changing temperatures and tomato plants
Mike McGrath, WTOP garden editor
Dandelions, the redux and aphids
Oscar in Bethesda writes: "I have a plant outside that is currently covered with small black insects. Will they damage the plant? Could you please let me know what they are and how I should deal with them?"
Dandelions, hydrangeas and tomatoes
Jan in Annapolis writes: "I have more dandelions in my lawn than anyone else in the neighborhood. They're using treatments that I'm sure aren't good for the Bay, and I'm tempted to do the same. Help!"
Moles? Voles? Let's call the whole thing off...
Moles make raised tunnels, especially in lawns, but they don't eat plants. Voles make small holes in the ground and eat lots of plants. And really big holes that plants "disappear down" could be a sign of groundhogs. Identifying the pest is job number one.
The tubes that take out ticks!
Tick Tubes are one of my favorite tick-prevention devices. They're cardboard tubes filled with cotton balls soaked in a pesticide called permethrin that's especially deadly to ticks.
Garlic sprays and taming weeds with flames
The white flowers early in the season are very distinctive, so learn what the plant looks like and pull it slowly out of wet soil right away before those flowers can turn into the explosive seedpods.
Sudden freeze may pose threat for early flowers
You're going to need your winter coat Tuesday morning. Areas to the north and west of D.C. are under a freeze watch. Temperatures could dip into the 20s.
When to seed, fertilize and weed your lawn
Right now is the time to spread corn gluten meal on your lawn to prevent dormant weed seeds like crabgrass from sprouting as you give the turf a nice gentle spring feeding, Mike. But don't delay.
Pre-sprout your peas for good St. Patrick's day luck
Happy peas for St. Pat's! That's right, peas. St. Patrick's Day isn't just for wearing green, it's also the unofficial kickoff to growing some delicious green-green peas.
Tips on getting rid of those stinking stink bugs
All of the stink bugs that snuck inside your house last fall to hibernate are now waking up and coming out of hiding to crawl all over your morning bowl of Lucky Charms. What can you do?
Don't let spring fever lead you astray
WTOP Garden Editor Mike McGrath will appear Saturday and Sunday, March 10 and 11, at the Fairfax Home Show on the Annandale campus of Northern Virginia Community College.
Timing is everything: Crabgrass and cherry trees
The ideal time to apply corn gluten to prevent crabgrass is generally when the local forsythia blooms, but it is always when the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees, as measured 4 inches down.
Lawn care time is a-comin'
The only safe and sensible time to sow cool season grass seed is mid-August, when the soil is perfectly warm and the next nine months will be nice and cool.
New lawns don't require murder weapons
Getting roses for Valentine's Day? Know the language of flowers
In the Victorian secret language known as the "Floral Code," each kind and color of posie holds a specific meaning. Roses in general do mean love, but the key to what kind of love is in the color.
Keeping your lawn on drugs will cost you $4 billion
Local lawmakers acknowledge that legal limitations on fertilizer used by homeowners would lead to cleaner water essentially for free, but that such actions "face strong opposition from fertilizer lobbies."
Garden Plot: This is the year to get your lawn off drugs
I hope this will be the year we help lots of listeners get their lawns off drugs. We'll discuss compost feeding in depth in the coming weeks.
Early spring bulbs, controlling crabgrass & ... cohabitation?
Although our weird winter weather has a lot of bulbs behaving badly, there's no real danger. Those leaves are full of nature's finest antifreeze, and the all-important flower stems are still safely underground.

"We know the players want it, as our games only lacking quality currently is it's extremely pathetic character customization"
I think you mis-read my post. Overall WoW is the top game in all aspects EXCEPT it's character customization.
Of course they have a lot to work on, but how much time do they need? It's been nearly seven years now and the only extra customization has been new haircuts and the barber shop.
Edited by Hælidan on 4/5/2011 3:35 PM PDT
60 Night Elf Druid
The reason we don't use the barbershop often isn't that it's a bad feature. It's because we pick a hairstyle we like and we stick with it. :) I haven't used the 'shop on my old characters since WotLK launched, but tend to visit once or twice per new character.
Have you tried working with indie studios for any new game projects they have coming up?
In response to the question of having ability of changing a characters appearance I had the the following idea.
Basically it would come down to, right now there is a core game and three expansions worth of animations, texturing, and coloring that has already been designed, implemented, and tested so why not use it?
I think it would be neat to be able to relayer a piece of equipment with a texture of another. Of course there would be limitations. A piece of plate armor could only be replaced with another plate texture. A bow would need a texture of another bow, etc.
This would give players a lot of flexibility with little to no cost. I'm not a programming expert but I'm guessing each piece of armor out there has a texture ID to it. You could have a menu similiar to the reforging menu. The stats of an item stays the same but the texture would be changed for a cost.
This would probably need to be disabled for PVP since technically what a person is wearing could be a sign of their skill, but that's also what the rankings are for.
On my main last expansion I had Alliance first Shadowmourne. I used it for a few months and now it just rots in my bank. It would be great to take a new axe and relayer it to look like Shadowmourne again. This however would add another limitation so everyone isn't walking about with legendary graphics. For legendaries specifically you would have needed to craft the item before you could relayer it. I guess this could technically apply to Tier suits or PVP suits (but not in a pvp setting) as well.
I'm sure a lot of people enjoy the looks of the old tier sets, but honestly, when will you ever wear them again? This would give people the opportunity to return to the looks they once achieved.
Just a thought.
85 Troll Druid
I wonder if anybody has brought up the idea of tying the character's spec into the visual appearance of the avatar? Like fire mages have a reddish hue, or shimmering heat waves coming off the avatar, whereas frost mages look, you know, frosty? I would still like to see some gear customization options, but it seems like this would help one character to stand out from another and has the added benefit of letting players identify another player's current spec at a glance.
/love Ninjas gonna get shut down
It really disappoints me when they reference finances as a reason for not doing anything. At this point, I really don't think money should stop them from doing anything. They have enough money to do whatever they want.
I think what they were trying to say is that if they're pulling in $10 million in profit every month, they'd be selective with the share of that that goes to development (vs. new servers, new office buildings, bonuses, and into shareholder pockets(assuming blizz is publicly traded)). So if they have to make a choice about whether to push out a new heroic dungeon, or make a dye merchant in a capital city, they'll pick the heroic.
No matter how much money they have they can't do everything at once, though I would be interested in knowing exactly how much certain past features have cost. I mean, what's a heroic cost to code? $100,000? $1 million? $10 million?
90 Human Paladin
The major reason I want the Apptab, is so I no longer have to use the raid markers to find my party in high pop quest areas. I mean seriously everytime I party to do TB the first thing that gets done is everyone gets raid markers.
Dye just will not cut it, considering that we allready have 2-3 different colors of the same armor.
As for the sholder/belt size issue, please give us the april fools joke slider. The designs of a lot of them are incredible, only to be destroyed by being laughable oversized. (like a 9yearold in football pads)
85 Tauren Druid
Q: Is it possible to let the players create/edit their own looks? - Zed Loft (Taiwan), Vysha (NA/ANZ), Ráchel (EU|German)
I'm so incredibly dis-appointed with the apparent lack of reading skills blizzard devs seem to have. You know, maybe it's the fact that there just ISN'T a way to implement the appearance tab feature in the ways described by the numerous thread capped posts. If that's the case though, then tell us. The majority of the supporters of the App Tab have posted there, and clearly don't want a simple dye solution(punny?).
Brings me to the point of the barber shop. How in any way would they be the same? The only reason I don't use the shop is because it's just that; a shop out of the way. Make the new appearance thing part of the UI somehow and I can almost promise you that it will be used over and over and over again.
In response to the question of having ability of changing a characters appearance I had the the following idea.
sooo...appearance tab. i support this.
90 Worgen Hunter
Q: Can we see gear won via need rolls become soulbound? - Lorinall (NA/ANZ)
I'm disappointed by this. I understand why you think it's a good idea very well, but I like to gear my alts with BoE items (after asking the group if it's okay to roll need, of course). If I lose the item to someone who rolls need to sell on the AH, that's fine, I know a similar piece will drop sooner or later.
But if rolling need soulbinds it, that essentially makes that piece worthless to me.
100 Human Mage
When they said expensive design time wise they meant TIME wise not financial cost wise. That means they need to weigh the benefit of adding the char visual thing vs adding something else that more players might enjoy more of. You only have so many designers capable of so much work.
I thought the comment on possibly adding more artwork in the game very interesting. Right now you are pretty much limited to one non-tier cloth hood that matches the mage set - bummer if you are the warlock or priest. Bummer also that the badge cloak matches the mage heroic set but not the normal set (red vs blue). Maybe player enjoyment would be improved if they just added more color and art choices that you could try to win drops of or buy at the badge vendor. I think that's what they are weighing.
I Have been w8ing for this answers in order to see a future "apperance tab" so all those nice-looking items i have in the bank some day they would be usefull to use them in high lvls instead of always using the new looks. For example i have the full Lightbringer set for paladin, so one day i could use it again in raids and heroics.
The barber shop i always use it, maybe not every day but when i change the armor i change the haircut. I dream that some day i would be able to use my Blood Knight armor set to do raids or Heroic dungeons. There's too many nice looking items in the game, gone wasted and i think there should be an option to use them, with the status of your higher item and the look of the item you want. i mean other cheap games have this feature, why not Wow? so many Wow-wannabe's have it.....

Life on Thedas has the basic Self-Insert Fic setup. Guy plays video game, goes through some unexplained incident and winds up in the world of the video game. In this fic, the narrator wakes up in the middle of the Ostagar battlefield surrounded by mutilated corpses, is nearly killed by two darkspawn and it all goes downhill from there. Enter Elisa Cousland, a Genki Girl with a darker side, who quickly becomes the narrator's Warrior Therapist.There are similarities to Mass Vexations, obviously, as the writer is a self-confessed fanboy that often reviews Vexations 2 chapters. Then Herr Wozzeck endorsed the fic on Vexations 2, so that says something.Be warned; due to a First Episode Spoiler you should read until chapter 6 if you don't want to be spoiled.
The following tropes apply to Life on Thedas, in addition to the tropes found in the source material:
