Coinciding with the 75th birthday of Superman last year, the Royal Canadian Mint created seven celebratory collectors coins to mark the occasion. Well, Superman's now a year older, but it seems that the celebrating isn't over yet, as the Mint and the Government of Canada used the occasion of the National Fan Expo to release four new coins featuring the image of the Last Son of Krypton. Peter Van Loan, Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Patrick Hadsipantelis, Vice-President of Marketing and Communications for the Royal Canadian Mint, were on hand at Fan Expo today to unveil the new coins.

Whenever Nerd Bastards goes to a con, we don't just like to highlight the celebrity guests, news items and other things. No! We also like to put the camera on you, the fans. Those of you in costume anyway. So many fans get into an incredible amount of detail with their costumes, fret over the smallest detail and make sacrifices of comfort and mobility, so it's only right that as we celebrate the culture, we also celebrate those that make the culture possible with their mad nerdiness. On this Thursday of Fan Expo 2014, we found judges, super-people, brains, robots, and something that looks suspiciously like something out of Will Graham's nightmares. Also, some very impress LEGO sculptures were on display. All that, and MOAR, in this first photo gallery from Toronto's National Fan Expo! (more…)
There is no doubt that there are plenty of differences between the movies that Marvel continues to pump out and the movies that WB/DC continues to give audiences. One of the biggest differneces, of course, is the tone of these movies. While Marvel loves to give fans some laughs with their superhero action, DC prefers to keep things a bit darker, and for the most part any laughs that come from the audience are almost ironic in response to what's going on in the film itself ("Want to see a magic trick?"). If you follow the comic books released from each of the publishers, you may even believe you understand why. A new rumor, however, may give us a better answer to why the DC Cinematic Universe seems so depressing. (more…)
When it comes to upcoming comic book movies, there is often an eternal struggle that fans have to face. That being the urge to know every little thing there is to know about an upcoming or current production vs the desire to keep oneself distant of spoilers. More often than not, curiosity wins out. Resisting the urge to know what Hollywood talent and creatives are doing with long standing beloved characters is quite frankly futile. Insatiable fans (and of course us bloggers) pick up quotes, rumors, unofficial set photos, leaked footage and everything in between. Stringing it all together and letting speculation take hold. All for the purpose of prejudging an unfinished product of course. Some fans will cheer while others will rage. But hey, that's all in the fun in reading (an in my case writing) about comic book movies.
So, today's hot rumor comes from an extra on the Detroit set of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice who claims to know how Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor plays into the story. If true, these are some pretty big spoilers. Read on if you dare. (more…)
Production continues and while Warner Bros and DC may have blinked in the face of Marvel Studio's Captain America III when it comes to a release date, they've certainly not stopped working toward the day when two of the world's greatest heroes meet on the big screen. Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice is currently filming in Detroit and the following scene captured on video gives us a look at Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne in action. (more…)
No matter how you felt about Zack Snyder's Superman offering, Man of Steel, one thing is certain – there was A LOT of damage done to the city of Metropolis by the time all was said and done. So, when the sequel, Batman v. Superman, was announced, it was tough for audiences to see just how Metropolis would react to their new alien "protector". Well, the folks over at Batman on Film may have the answer. (more…)
Short answer? Doesn't look like it. After years of domination by Marvel where movie news is concerned, SDCC 2013's Hall H was utterly conquered by Warner Bros. and their pants-crappingly exciting announcement that not only was a sequel to Man of Steel in the works, said sequel would co-star BATMAN!
It's now a year later, SDCC 2014 draws nigh, and we know much more about this film, entitled Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice–which is either a hint of the studio's plans to finally make a Justice League flick, or WB simply hates nerds.
There was chatter recently that SDCC 2014's Hall H would be the scene of an official announcement that Justice League is indeed happening, as well as rumors that Warner Bros. would have other announcements regarding future DC based films–but apparently, there is no solid evidence that any of this is to be: (more…)
Symbols can mean different things to different people. The sight of the Christian cross, for example, can bring hope and peace to some and inspire a sense of dread or an eye roll from others. The Superman symbol, which is said to be the second most recognizable symbol in the world after the cross, is equally capable of possessing multiple meanings.
To DC Comics and their corporate overlords, the Superman symbol represents a cornerstone of their yesterday, today and tomorrow. As such, they guard that symbol carefully and accordingly.
Todd Boyce is a Canadian man who raised $36,000 on IndieGoGo to build a memorial statue of a five year old Superman fan in Toronto's Greenwood Park after hearing about the boys tragic death. Unfortunately, Mr. Boyce's request to use the Superman "S" was declined by DC. (more…)
Also, do you like details? You're in luck! Here's something close to that… sort of! On the show this week, Jeremy, Jason and Blastr.com writer Matthew Jackson discuss: (more…)
We talked a bit about Kevin Smith's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Fake Script Rumor announcement earlier today, and now we've got the full scoop for you. Being Kevin Smith you can expect not just the scoop, but colorful sprinkles and chopped nuts on top! (more…)

Is there any fld (ferro-liquid display) computer monitors on the market? Where can i get them from?

Why do you want a ferro-liquid display unit?
A well ventilated room or a fan cooler in the room would be much more efficient and cheaper.

My partner and I do a lot of reading and writing on our computer. Most computer monitors seemed to be designed for watching videos and playing computer games. But devices with such as the kindle or Sony reader have screens which are more reading and writing friendly, and cause less eye-strain, Since these devices use ferro-liquid displays, it makes sense to me to try and find computer monitors that suits the way I use my computer. A way that will not lead to headaches and eye-strain.

My understanding is that the e-readers use e-ink electrophoretic displays which would not be suitable for mouse movement because of the low refresh rate.
You may well be better off adjusting the lighting in the room and the contrast/colours and brightness of the monitor. Also look at the accessibility options for different colour text on different colour backgrounds.

If you have a Kindle or such like, just see how long it takes the page to refresh, then imagine that king of delay every time you move your mouse.
That's why PCs don't have these types of display

Many people believe in fate. When bad or good things happen, they tend to think they happened for a reason – even for events that are entirely random (winning the lottery, for instance). Often, people think that these things happen because some guiding hand or supernatural force caused them.So the question is, why are these delusions so common?

A just international order and a healthy cosmopolitan discipline of law need to include perspectives that take account of the standpoints, interests, concerns and beliefs of non-Western people and traditions. The dominant scholarly and activist discourses about human rights have developed largely without reference to these other viewpoints. Claims about universality sit uneasily with ignorance of other traditions and parochial or ethnocentric tendencies. The object of the book is to make accessible the ideas of four jurists who present distinct 'Southern' perspectives on human rights.

Nimr Hassan on self-defense
12 comments:
- AnonymousMarch 25, 2009 3:25 PM
Wow, that totally blew my mind. Very true - and I'm assuming these guys weren't drunk or doped up when they demonstrated their counter-attacks, either. Add some chemicals into the mix and the only one who's going to benefit from such a scenario is somebody's lawyer.ReplyDelete
I like what you said about witnessing the violence. I was personally recently diagnosed with OCD, and I have learned that much of my diligent and violent martial arts training came from me acknowledging that some of the "scenarios" my mind came up with could indeed happen at any moment - being attacked by a gang, in an elevator, etc. But this is what OCD is - unwanted thoughts that barge into your head. I was juggling violent thoughts around in my mind all day, so it's no wonder I turned to the martial arts to play out all those scenarios.
Now that I know how much my mind loves to make up those scenarios, as a sort of therapy I've dialed back my pace and picked up some more peaceful training styles. I just wonder how many there are out there like me, who have gotten way too far into the violence without realizing they're mostly responding to a mental glitch. :-/
Thanks for your post.
Taika Seiyu Oyata has been quoted as saying that there are always two fights: one with fists, and one with the other guy's lawyer.ReplyDelete
My own teacher's approach has always been to do what you need to do to get home alive and unharmed, but to leave it at that.
Excellent story.ReplyDelete
We train a spectrum of responses starting with evade/escape, then run like hell; up to potentially deadly force. We also practice our self-defence wherein we aim to "control" before (optionally) "finishing".
Of course it takes more skill to control or subdue than to break into small bits.
I have been training with Matl Sensei lately. Not only is he teaching ethics, but he is teaching people to be conscience of what witnesses perceive in self defense - to help the lawyer side of the self defense.ReplyDelete
Yes indeed self defense is not kill kill kill
I am deeply in love with Wing Chun kung fu, but I feel like it's responses are often too violent.
When I was 20 I almost got into a fight. I was ready to tear this guy apart - like I had been trained, over a really stupid confrontation. The switch over to Aikido really helped cool my young man hot head down.
Aiki is a physical embodiment of philosophy. Train in its drills enough and you can retrain the violent tendencies out.
That's a profound demonstration - I wish I could have seen it in person.ReplyDelete
I've often had similar thoughts. Martial artists talk so much about the "harsh realities of the street," that you'd think we were all walking around with targets on our heads. To be honest, protection from life-threatening attack is statistically much less likely for a normal person. We're more apt to get hurt in a traffic accident.
The thing about the whole self-defense spiel is that most people selling it try to push the notion that it is a no-rules encounter. But nothing could be further from the truth - in a society of humans there are always rules. Rules of social contract, rules of local custom, and rules of law. Breaking any of those rules (even when you are threatened or scared) is going to have consequences.
Part of training a martial art (IMO) is learning to master our own reactions to events that occur. If we can't determine the appropriate level of force with which to respond in a physical encounter, what does that say about about abilities to respond well in other situations?
Great post, emphasises the need for control and restraint when training in martial arts.ReplyDelete
While I train in karate and most of what I've been taught thus far has been focus on striking techniques, control is an important part of what I've learned to date. I've also been quite fortunate, as the real-world consequences of our actions from a legal perspective are often brought up and discussed in class by our instructors. While they acknowledge the reality of a confrontation on the street, they temper this with a reality-check, encouraging us to use minimum force to maximum effect.
Good post. There is a need to address this point in every dojo/gym. A lot of people are taught how to defend themselves using the most lethal of techniques when not really neccasery.ReplyDelete
Excellent post.ReplyDelete
Wouldn't it have been great if one of the guys in the demonstration just dodged the jab-cross and ran off! It's easy to forget that this is probably one of the best strategies, though not one that's practiced very often in the dojo.
- AnonymousMarch 26, 2009 5:18 PM
good points but ... the way the story goes, it sounds like quite a set-up, like hassan wanted to see what the "deadly martial arts" could do, and that's apparently what he got.ReplyDelete
more a story of stupidity of ego in martial arts demonstrations than on what may or may not be appropriate - I don't think most of us would know at the time and may not know afterwards
You asked what levels of deadly force do we practice. I tried envisioning a scenario where I'd just run away (very easy). Then I tried imagining one where I'd use Aikido to kill someone (very hard). When I was in the military we talked a LOT about Deadly Force and escalation of force. I honestly can't think of a time when I think attempted deadly force would ever be used by me. Even if someone was trying to kill me, I might gouge out their eyes or strike the chin instead of face, but if I ever was in a fight even with someone attempting to kill me, and I used Aikido on them...I'd break their arms and legs and slam them on the ground. None of those would be an attempt to kill or do lifelong injury, just disabling limbs is the max I can imagine going. I always thought if I was training against a life threatening situation, then I should know enough to not take theirs. Aikido suits my philosophy just fine :)ReplyDelete
Great post and he's totally right. Lots of overkill out there. In my school, I like to teach variations on a sliding scale of violence.ReplyDelete
The same move but in a different context and with a different goal in mind:
- To knock the other guy out.
- To knock him to the floor.
- To give him some pain so he reconsiders his options.
- To push him out of your way so you can run.
- To blast through him so you can run.
Most students seem to get the implications but I often explain what the context in which to use specific techniques. As with everything, it's work in progress.
- AnonymousApril 05, 2009 8:54 PM
I really like John Wood's comment. Broken joints should be enough. "Deadly" seems really inappropriate in most cases if you can actually break elbows and legs, as does blindness causing eye-gouging, permanent damage, attacking the neck, etc.ReplyDelete

A NEW centre for the research of materials is to be built at the Harwell science campus.
Oxford University and Diamond Light Source, the particle accelerator facility, are working together on the project.
It will see cutting-edge microscopes used to study chemicals at atomic level and, it is hoped, will see advances in areas such as carbon technology and green energy.
Professor Angus Kirkland, of Oxford University's department of materials, said: "This facility will provide a world-class capability for materials imaging and deliver unique insights."
The building will offer unrivalled facilities for research across the biological and physical sciences, bosses said.
Oxford University and chemicals and rare metals giant Johnson Matthey will jointly contribute electron microscopes from Japanese firm JEOL.
And those will join two advanced models being built at the centre for use in cryo-electron microscopy, where samples can be studied at low temperatures.
Diamond Light Source chief executive Professor Andrew Harrison said: "This development is part of a more general trend to develop strategic partnerships with industry and the university to exploit more fully our synchrotron facilities."
The Diamond synchrotron is the only one of its kind in the UK.
The donut-shaped building focuses light to levels 10 billion times brighter than the sun for the study of materials and chemicals.

Of the many injustices in the world, few stir us to action like the ones directed against the weak, the defenseless, the assailable. When Zana Briski entered the red-light district of Calcutta in 1998 to photograph the lives of prostitutes, what she found even more compelling were their children, girls forced to join "the line" shortly after puberty, and boys and girls stigmatized and denied an education because of their mother's prostitution. The British photographer stopped taking pictures and started teaching the children her craft. Born into Brothels is the story of Briski's students, eight girls and boys whose photographs soon inspired other professional photographers to continue the work Briski had begun.
Soon after buying the children automatic cameras, Briski picked up a mini-DV and began to film them, allowing the children to address the camera directly and to discuss their experiences taking pictures. That led her into their troubled homes and deeper into their chaotic lives. Briski soon realized she needed a cinematographer and in 2000 convinced Ross Kauffman, a documentary film editor, to join her in Calcutta. The two worked together to complete Born into Brothels, which premiered at the Human Rights Watch Film Festival earlier this year and is now making its theatrical debut.
Briski and Kauffman, new to the craft of directing, obviously could not agree on whether the documentary should be Briski's story or the children's. When Briski is on-camera, Born into Brothels becomes discursive, following her efforts to get the children into boarding schools, which require her to navigate the labyrinthine Indian bureaucracy, as well as the equally daunting web of social and cultural tradition that circumscribes the lives of the children. In these sequences, the children are thrust to the background. Despite the film's lack of cohesiveness, Briski and Kauffman exhibit a keen eye for images that immediately communicate the dismal existence of those forced to live in the red-light district. A few quick shots, a filthy, tenuously lit hallway in a brothel, a student photographer scrubbing pots for money, and a child leaving her room so her prostitute-mother can work, illustrate the obstacles the children face in imagining a different life.
The best sequences in Born into Brothels are those named for the eight children, for the immensely talented Avigit whose mother is burned to death by one of her customers, and for Suchitra, equally gifted, who struggles to overcome her family's insistence that she join "the line" and begin earning her living. Their still photos-Suchitra's became the cover of Amnesty International's 2003 calendar-and those of the other children tell the entire story, the one the filmmakers could not tell. Briski and Kauffman failed to rescue all of the children whose photos appear in the film: Some still attend the boarding schools Briski found for them, while others succumbed to the pathos of the red-light district, but their pictures have already transformed the lives of the Calcutta prostitutes and their children. Not only has Briski convinced others to join her, but Calcutta is now a city impossible to envision except through the eyes of the children.

This is a stunning, cutting-edge thriller with a chilling twist from Japan's stylish new literary star, the acclaimed author of "Ring" and "Spiral". ... Show synopsis This is a stunning, cutting-edge thriller with a chilling twist from Japan's stylish new literary star, the acclaimed author of "Ring" and "Spiral". Kaoru's father, Hideyuki, is dying. A new, viral, form of cancer is ravaging his body. This nightmarish, incurable disease has appeared apparently from nowhere, and has begun to affect organisms all over the planet. When he was a child, Kaoru and his father would sit up late into the night discussing complex scientific issues. Now a medical student, despite his precocious intelligence, Kaoru seems powerless in the face of the rapacious disease which has probably also infected his mother and possibly himself. But clues to the origin of the virus begin to present themselves. Twenty years ago, Hideyuki worked on a virtual reality project which replicated evolution on earth called the Loop. The project failed when the organisms within it inexplicably stopped reproducing normally and started cloning. Nearly all of the other scientists who worked on the Loop are already dead - from cancer. To get to the heart of the mystery, Kaoru must travel to the other side of the planet, to the Mojave Desert. The secret he encounters there overturns everything he thought he knew about the world - and his own identity. Suzuki masterfully confounds the reader in this suspense-filled follow-up to "Ring" and "Spiral", taking the story in an utterly unexpected direction.

GE's latest offering in the appliance section involves a next-level combination microwave/wall oven featuring GE's most advanced cooking technology.
The Advantium Speedcooking Oven performs four functions in one: speedcook, European convection, microwave and warming/proofing. Additionally, it installs easily in kitchens that are already set up with a built-in microwave/wall oven set.
The new Profile series of freestanding ranges from GE will allow homeowners to turn the oven on in between games of Candy Crush, among other things.
The Wi-Fi-enabled series of gas and electric ranges can be controlled remotely by the GE Brillion smartphone app.
"We're expanding our line of connected appliances to make life easier while you're on the go," GE Product Manager Jonathan Sprigler said. "Consumers expect more things to be accessible through their phones, and GE is enabling them to have the control they want."
Haier America announced Paul Riley has been appointed VP sales and marketing for major appliances.
Riley will be accountable for the creation and exectuion of the go-to-market strategy for all categories, the company announced.
Riley has held many sales and marketing roles throughout his 15-year career with GE Appliances, where he most recently worked as senior brand and product line marketing manager. He also led GE's efforts to redefine the Monogram brand through a preferred builder program, a consumer facing rebate program and brand distribution strategy.
Briggs & Stratton announced Tuesday that Shaunna Balady had joined the Wisconsin-based company as SVP corporate development.
GE is following closely on the heels of Quirky's recent announcement that it was launching a smart-home offshoot (called Wink) for incubating various technologies, as well as an integrated app to connect them all.
The GE Link connected LED 60-watt replacement (A19) bulb is a smart LED bulb that's enabled by the Wink app -- one of several new (and incumbent) products that are beginning to emerge within the Wink suite.
GE has donated $10,000 to HomeAid, a nonprofit that works to provide housing for the homeless. The 25-year-old, California-based charity is working toward building 32 projects in 2014.
GE -- which also donates appliances to HomeAid on an ongoing basis -- has donated some $750,000 to the charity since 1989 in money and in-kind donations.
GE is releasing more details regarding one of its newest and most exciting projects, part of a new partnership with MakerBot and TechShop that will serve as an incubator of sorts for innovations in the appliance space.
Following up on its recent partnership with Local Motors, GE is teaming up with MakerBot and TechShop.
"GE continues to foster collaborative relationships to drive innovation through cutting-edge manufacturing models and partnerships that are redefining how ground-breaking products are made," said Kevin Nolan, VP technology for GE Appliances.
In this newest installment of product innovations, GE will work on a new generation of home appliances through FirstBuild, an online co-creation and micromanufacturing community.
East Cleveland, Ohio-based GE Lighting says it has introduced its most incandescent-like consumer LED portfolio yet, including more than 40 new LED products and fixtures.
The company also says it is helping the homeowner fill every socket in the house with the appropriate, low-energy bulb.
GE is behind the latest eco-forward move in San Francisco -- specifically, that of the iconic 16-ft. crab wheel at the gateway of Fisherman's Wharf.
Together with the Arrow Sign Company, GE helped restore the landmark with new LED sign lighting systems that will save an estimated 80% in lighting energy usage.
Whether we're in a boom or a bust economy, there's no shortage of luxury items in the home channel — and in fact, brand equity for many of the nation's high-end companies has only improved in recent years, with well-heeled customers virtually shielded from the squeeze of the recession.
Then again, when it comes to home improvement retailing, luxury can mean anything ranging from prohibitively expensive building materials to upscale flashlights that may only retail for a little under $200 — attainable enough for many middle-class Americans.
Nortek, Inc., a producer of ventilation, heating and cooling, and air management systems, has hired Andrew Bonham as group president, Residential Ventilation.
Bonham has approximately 30 years of experience under his belt in manufacturing, sales, marketing and e-business. His resume spans major companies such as GE, Allied Signal and Invensys plc. He has also opened manufacturing facilities and completed acquisitions both in the U.S. and abroad. In his most recent role, he served as president of Grace Construction Products.
GE Appliances is running a Search for Artie Sweepstakes to promote its line of GE Artistry Series appliances.
Artie is a stylish, black-and-white Dalmatian semi hidden on the company's website. In the Search for Artie Sweepstakes, GE Appliances website visitors can find Artie on select Web pages and answer a multiple-choice question to be entered to win a weekly prize of a $250 gift card and a grand prize of a GE Artistry Series appliance suite and $5,000 cash.
The contest ends Jan. 7.
Major luxury appliance retailer Elite Appliance has been authorized as a Dallas GE appliance dealer. As such, it has added GE kitchen and laundry appliances to its product selection, now available both online and at its Dallas showroom.
Of GE's kitchen appliance suites, Elite will offer the Monogram Series, Cafe Series, Artistry Series and Profile Series.
GE has launched its first-ever Monogram French door built-in refrigerator, adding its own signature twist to the burgeoning French door trend.
"Our designers worked with our customers to create our first Monogram French door built-in model—one that authentically combines superior craftsmanship and performance as only Monogram can," said Michael Mahan, product manager for Monogram Refrigeration.
Xicato, a provider of LED modules for the retail and hospitality industries, has appointed two new sales managers to its European team.
Ben Hamida will step up to the plate as regional sales manager for France and the Middle East. Previously, Hamida spent 18 years at GE Lighting as international sales manager for Southern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Hamida is fluent in French, English, Italian and Arabic and brings extensive experience to the table in driving LED sales.
GE Appliances has launched a new marketing campaign designed to showcase the company's products in a context that reflects the consumer's changing needs, including a new definition of the kitchen as a living space.
"The national campaign is designed to communicate a key element of our business strategy—one that is obsessed with innovation designed around what the consumer needs," says Eddie Martin, CMO for GE Appliances. "The work introduces the brand idea of 'Reimagining Home' through the lens of our three new products."
GE has released a full-size oven featuring vents on the top of the oven cavity in an effort to improve air flow, provide even baking results and shorten cooking times. The True European Convection with Direct Air technology is coupled with Brillion-enabled WiFi capabilities that can be controlled directly through a smartphone app.
Indianapolis -- Speaking to the collected body of Do it Best Dealers during the co-op's Merchandising Market Preview here, Steve Markley described light bulbs as a high-interest, high-reward category.
For the first time, GE is producing a frontload washing machine and matching dryer from one of its U.S. plants.
New incentives for high-efficiency water heaters mean Orlando, Fla., consumers pay "next to nothing," according to GE.
Atlanta-based Floor & Decor is promoting a new in-store credit card deal.
The deal is: Use a Floor & Decor credit card before Dec. 22 at one of the company's 32 U.S. stores and pay no interest for 18 months.
Floor & Decor operates in 15 metropolitan markets across the United States. GE Capital Retail Finance is the partner in the program.

Two of the building industry's largest manufacturers are collaborating on a new ceiling system designed for use in commercial applications. USG Corp. will offer its Logix Integrated Ceiling System with GE Lumination's LED Linear Recessed Luminaires. The system is ideal for office, retail, healthcare and hospitality environments, the two companies said.

Diva in Focus: Natalia Partyka Awes Many at London Olympics 2012
By Rituparna Roy Deshpande, Team iDiva | posted Jul 30th 2012 at 12:37PM

She may be born without a forearm, but that doesn't discourage Polish table tennis player Natalia Partyka from living her dreams! The 23-year-old sportswoman has surprised millions worldwide with her sheer dedication towards the sport.
Natalia was born without a right forearm and she serves her opponent by balancing the ball in the folds of the skin at the end of her elbow! And before you know it, the energetic player drops it on the table with her tiny bat.
That's not all. The Paralympian (an athlete with a physical disability who has played at the Paralympic Games) won the Olympic table tennis opener games against Denmark's Mie Skov over the weekend. We salute Natalia Partyka's undying spirit and wish her all the best for her future endeavours!

"Every trait of beauty may be referred to some virtue, as to innocence, candor, generosity, modesty, or heroism. St. Pierre To cultivate the sense of the beautiful, is one of the most effectual ways of cultivating an appreciation of the divine goodness."
Related quotes
"[Pierre] understands the role and is one of the best in the league at it. He's going to try to get on base, no matter what. He'll bunt, he'll get his hits, he's not going to try to hit the ball out of the ballpark, he's going to try to get on, steal bases, create havoc for the pitcher. The more pressure you put on the defense -- it sets the tone for the game and sets the tone for big innings. That's what you're after for guys in that spot."
"Now that we have ascertained Pierre is staying with the club we look forward to putting together a team to defend the A-League title."

Is South Korea ready for "Madam President"?
Published on Dec 12, 2012 7:13 AM
SEOUL (REUTERS) - If Park Geun Hye wins South Korea's presidential election this month, as looks increasingly likely, she will become the first woman to hold the country's top office, challenging stereotypes in a nation that is largely run by men in blue suits.
A conservative who has 15 years experience as a top legislator and who has been dubbed "The Queen of Elections" for turning around the fortunes of her political party in a series of polls, Park says she took to politics to help save her country from the devastating Asian financial crisis of 1997-98.
Ms Park, 60, is the daughter of South Korean dictator Park Chung-hee and has never married or had children, something her opponents have sought to highlight in a bid to cut back her lead in the polls ahead of the Dec 19 vote.
"Candidate Park has no femininity. She has never lived a life agonising over childbirth, childcare, education and grocery prices," Park Kwang On, a spokesman for her left-of-centre opponent, Moon Jae In, said recently.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Hunter found dead in Swanzey
SWANZEY - The body of a hunter was recovered in Swanzey early Tuesday morning.
The N.H. Fish and Game Department was notified Monday night of an overdue hunter in the area of Talbot Hill Road, according to a press release issued by Lt. Craig Morrocco of N.H. Fish & Game.
Robert Lariviere Jr., 51, of Swanzey, was reported to have gone deer hunting in the vicinity of Talbot Hill Road in Swanzey early Monday morning. His family reported him overdue to local police. Immediately thereafter, at approximately 8:15 p.m., personnel from New England K9, N.H. Fish and Game Department, Swanzey Police Department, Swanzey Fire Department, Keene Fire Department, and Upper Valley Wilderness Rescue Team responded to the scene to conduct a search for Lariviere.
Early Tuesday morning about 2:20 a.m., personnel from New England K9 located Lariviere's body approximately a quarter of a mile from his vehicle in a densely wooded area. Upon initial investigation, foul play does not appear to be a factor.
The state of Medical Examiner's Office and Swanzey Police are investigating.

Intel Acquires Creative's ZiiLabs (3DLabs)
Published on 21 November 2012 12:31 PM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
12 Comments
It's been announced this morning that Intel is acquiring ZiiLabs, the subsidiary of Creative Labs that previously was 3DLabs. Intel is gaining "certain engineering resources and assets" plus licensing rights to certain ZiiLabs patents and other technologies surrounding the GPU.
ZiiLabs was 3DLabs up until 2009 when it was rebranded to represent the more diverse range of products coming out of the company. ZiiLabs has been pushing media application processors and other chips. With this new Intel deal, Creative will be hanging onto the StemCell media processor line and ZMS products. Creative has been in poor financial health as of late so this deal with Intel doesn't come as a huge surprise.
It will be interesting to see what intellectual property that Intel gets out of ZiiLabs for graphics processors and how this could impact future Intel GPUs along with their open-source Linux graphics driver.

Unable to show her true colors in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies earlier this month, Concave will be hoping for better luck against six rivals in Saturday's Grade 3, $500,000 Delta Downs Princess at one mile.
Coastline, a three-length winner of the October 27 Street Sense at Churchill Downs, has been installed as the 5-2 morning line favorite in Saturday's $1 million Delta Downs Jackpot. The 11th running of the Grade 3 event will feature a full field of 10 two-year-olds at 1 1/16 miles.
The Delta Downs Jackpot is the featured event on an 11-race card that contains eight stakes and is part of the "Prep Season" portion of the 2013-2014 Road to the Kentucky Derby series, offering points on a 10-4-2-1 scale to the first four finishers.
Fans can now back their opinion on the prospects for next year's Kentucky Derby sooner rather than later. For the first time, Churchill Downs Racetrack will add a fourth pool to its popular Kentucky Derby Future Wager and it will coincide with closing week of the racetrack's 25-day Fall Meet: Wednesday, Nov. 27 through Saturday, Nov. 30.
Gary and Mary West's New Year's Day utilized a ground-saving rail trip under jockey Martin Garcia to post a 1 1/4-length victory in Saturday's Grade 1, $1,840,000 Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita. The Bob Baffert trainee just got the best of a tiring Havana on the wire to stop the clock in 1:43 2/5 for 1 1/16 miles over the fast main track.
She's a Tiger just held off Ria Antonia on the wire of Saturday's Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, but was disqualified for a slight bumping incident right before the wire, which resulted in the runner-up being elevated to victory by the stewards in the $1,840,000 event.
If you have not registered to take part in Churchill Downs Racetrack's ("CDRT") November online sale of seating for the 2014 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands and the Longines Kentucky Oaks, the opportunity to participate in the sale will disappear very soon
Ever been that fan who spent the day at the Kentucky Oaks or Kentucky Derby but never saw a horse? That won't be a problem starting with next year's races as Churchill Downs gets the "Big Picture". Churchill Downs has teamed with Panasonic in a $12 million project to install a 15,224-square-foot, high-definition (HD) LED video board in time for the 2014 Longines Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands.
Ivan Dalos' Ami's Holiday (Harlan's Holiday) ran down a loose-on-the-lead Big Bazinga (Bluegrass Cat) to take Sunday's $174,400 Grey S. (Can-G3) over Woodbine's Polytrack by a half-length.
Coolmore's Havana drew away to a large lead in midstretch but had to dig deep to withstand the fast-finishing Honor Code in the final yards of Saturday's Grade 1, $500,000 Champagne at Belmont Park, scoring by a neck on the wire. An impressive debut winner in his previous start, the Todd Pletcher-trained colt remained perfect and sealed a bid for the November 2 Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita in the "Win & You're In" race.
Artemis Agrotera broke her maiden by a romping 11 lengths at Saratoga in her August 16 career debut and continued to prove her superiority with a 1 1/4-length victory in Saturday's Grade 1, $500,000 Frizette at Belmont Park.
John C. Oxley's Madly Truly (Malibu Moon) was sent off the 5-2 choice in Saturday's $151,523 Mazarine (Can-G3) at Woodbine despite a fourth-place run in the Natalma (Can-G3) last out and vindicated those odds with a one-length victory under jockey Patrick Husbands.
The Mark Casse trainee earned 10 points in the Road to the Kentucky Oaks series when completing 1 1/16 Polytrack miles in 1:44 4/5.
Ken and Sarah Ramsey's We Miss Artie rallied wide into contention in upper stretch and powered away to a 2 3/4-length victory in the Grade 1, $400,000 Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland. Ridden by John Velazquez, the Todd Pletcher-trained colt earned a berth in the November 2 Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita for capturing the "Win & You're In" event.
Conquest Stables LLC's My Conquestadory suffered an educational trip in Friday's Grade 1, $400,000 Alcibiades on the opening day card of Keeneland's fall meet. Stuck in traffic for much of the backstretch run, the Mark Casse-trained miss angled wide around the turn and drew off in the lane to be 1 3/4 lengths clear on the wire.
The Artie Schiller filly was sent off the 6-5 favorite and lived up to her odds when finishing 1 1/16 miles over the Polytrack in 1:45 3/5.
Only five colts and geldings will line up in Sunday's Grey (Can-G3) at Woodbine, and the winner of the 1 1/16-mile Polytrack contest will earn not only graded credit and the winner's share of the C$150,000 purse, but also 10 points toward a starting gate berth in the Kentucky Derby on the Road to the Kentucky Derby series.
Saturday's C$150,000 Mazarine (Can-G3) at Woodbine is turning into a Natalma (Can-G2) rematch as five of the eight runners are exiting that one-mile turf contest.
Llanarmon (Sky Mesa) rallied for victory in the Natalma, and for the first time in her two-race career will be stretching out to 1 1/16 miles while trying the Polytrack in the Mazarine. Trainer Roger Attfield will give Emma-Jayne Wilson a leg up on the dark bay juvenile miss.
Sixteen juveniles were entered in Saturday's Grade 1, $400,000 Breeders' Futurity on Keeneland's Fall Stars Weekend, but only 14 will be allowed to line up in the 1 1/16-mile Polytrack contest. And of those 14, Solitary Ranger stands out following a 5 1/2-length romp in the Arlington-Washington Futurity on September 7.
The Breeders' Futurity is part of the "Prep Season" portion of the "Road to the Kentucky Derby" series, awarding points on a 10-4-2-1 scale to the first four finishers.
Keeneland kicks off its 2013 fall race meet on Friday and the Grade 1, $400,000 Alcibiades will feature a field of 13 two-year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles.
The Alcibiades is part of the "Prep Season" portion of the "Road to the Kentucky Oaks" series, awarding points on a 10-4-2-1 scale to the first four finishers.

Is a flood of wireless televisions about to hit? Mitsubishi has already been making waves with its unique LaserVue TV, and today it was announced that Amimon has teamed with Mitsubishi to bring on a wireless HDTV.
We remember Amimon from a few months ago, as it WHDI (wireless high-definition interface) technology feeds Sharp's X-Series with wireless HD video.
The Mitsubishi Living Fit line is expected to hit Japan this fall, with its two-piece system of a slim LCD panel and separate HDTV receiver, with nary a wire connecting them to deliver the high-def goods.
The upside, says, Amimon, is that you'll be able to place your HD source components, like game consoles, DVRs and DVD players, in more places in your media room and elsewhere in your home.
Amimon says its video-modem type of wireless delivery lets you get uncompressed HDTV with a range of over 100 feet (30 meters), through multiple walls and with a latency of less than one millisecond. We'll take that—especially if it helps us pare down the rat's nest of wires behind our TV stand.
