->''"The very best character actors are made of equal parts discipline and madness, and the fact that our faces are more familiar than our names is not our curse, but our blessing. The character actor's goal, after all, is not to earn the adulation of the public; it is to give lives to a hundred nameless spirits who make us laugh or cry, who are both familiar and new, who show us that their journey is our journey, and who, like everyone in the audience, never get to kiss Renée Zellweger."''
-->--Stephen Tobolowsky
Stephen Harold Tobolowsky is an incredibly prolific character actor and the undisputed patron saint of HeyItsThatGuy, having appeared in over 200 movies and TV episodes. In fact, once in a hotel room he flipped through channels to find himself on every channel at various ages.
Stephen is perhaps best known for playing Ned Ryerson in the Creator/BillMurray classic Film/GroundhogDay. Although a versatile actor, he has a tendency to play jerks, incompetent villains, annoying suits or other ObstructiveBureaucrat types. A case of MeanCharacterNiceActor, in reality Stephen is a witty and affable fellow with a self-deprecating sense of humour.
He's also a highly gifted storyteller, and has a storytelling {{Podcast}} called ''[[http://www.slashfilm.com/category/features/slashfilmcast/the-tobolowsky-files/ The Tobolowsky Files]]'' where he regales us with tales of life, love and the entertainment industry. These podcasts detail his emotional journeys through every aspect of Hollywood, while also recounting his personal relationships with friends, girlfriends, family and faith. They are often hilarious, heartwarming and tearjerking. You have been warned.
* ActorAllusion: [[Series/{{Glee}} Sandy Ryerson's]] last name is also that of Ned from ''Film/GroundhogDay''. This was intentional.
* BaldOfAwesome: He went bald at a young age.
-->''"Swing Shift (1984) was the first movie where I had a make-up person start to draw in hair on my head because I looked too bald. I had no idea what she was doing, and she said, "Honey, I can see your skull". And that's when it dawned on me that I was going to end up being one of those bald character actors"''
* ButtMonkey: Poor guy has had some pretty rotten stuff happen to him. Some of the more unusual and prominent situations he's been pulled into include being held hostage at gunpoint, being almost murdered twice, and breaking his neck in five places in Iceland.
* DeadpanSnarker: Very much so. When asked about the fact that he was almost murdered twice, he simply responded, "That's unusual."
* HeyItsThatGuy
* JewishAndNerdy
* MeanCharacterNiceActor
* PunchSpinGape: In the DVD commentary for ''Film/GroundhogDay'', the director claims that all he had planned for the scene in which Creator/BillMurray (playing Phil Conners) punches Tobolowski (playing Ned Ryerson) was just a simple faked punch. Toblowski, who admits he can be a LargeHam sometimes, turned it into a full-on spin-and-stare-directly-into-the-camera-then-fall maneuver in reaction to the punch. And did so on every single take they tried. Eventually, the director just [[ThrowItIn threw it in]].
* TookALevelInBadass: Remaining outwardly calm with a gun to his head in a grocery store and keeping the crazed gunman talking long enough for a SWAT team to swoop in for the rescue.

- Very disappointed with this restaurant.JodiSyroDined on 11/15/2014I have been to this restaurant many times before and had a great experience. I was looking forward to this dinner, but was very disappointed. I ordered a filet mignon that was clearly more of a ribeye steak. It was very fatty and not as flavorful. The waitress was wonderful and got me a new dinner, which it chose chicken cordon blue, which was also disappointing when it came out as a deep fried chicken cutlet with a slice of ham and cheese sitting on top with a brown gravy over it. Not like any chicken cordon blue that I have ever had and I pray I never have again. It was very gross. Then they tried to satisfy me with a dessert to share with my husband but never took the price of the meal off the bill. I am not sure if I will ever go to this restaurant again. I hope if you decide to go to this restaurant that you have a better experience. I think they must have a different chef and they need to fire him or her and get someone in that knows how to cook.
- Bad foodDisgruntledCustomerDined on 11/11/2014My girlfriend and I went to Webbs yesterday for our one year anniversary, and left displeased. The service was excellent, the starters, soup and dessert were very delicious as well but the main dish unfortunately was not what we thought it would be. We both ordered chicken parmesan and we were both very displeased with what we received. While eating, my chicken seemed burned. Yes it is pan crusted, or pan fried, but it tasted very burnt. And when it came to the linguini, it was very rubbery and either under or over cooked. My girlfriend didn't like her food all together so we are very little of what we ordered. The food we received was not worth the money it cost. Even though they were both half orders, I am glad we did not order the full as it would have been just as poor and cost more money. Unfortunately I am not sure when we will be back, because all together we spent $90.00 on our meal including tip, but it was not worth it at all. And as celebrating a special day, I don't believe we should have left as disappointed in the food as we did.Special Features:
- It Stays Open !!!CarolPmsVIPDined on 11/7/2014Not knowing how seriously to take the local "season" we were fortunate to hear Webb's stays open all year. We were there in November. Seated next to a warm fireplace. Substantial menu with choices for all types of appetites. Nice pace to the service with a friendly but not over-bearing waitress. The fish was an attractive serving & many other entrees come 1/2 portion or full portion. Rolls came frequently, as did drinks, when appropriate. Great easy-going location for our group of 8.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Definitely worth the 70 mile driveLots2loveDined on 9/26/2014From the initial greeting we received at the reservation desk through the entire experience, the staff was very friendly. We were able to meet the owner who made sure that we were satisfied with our entire experience. We were very happy we chose to dine at the Captain's Table and we will definitely look for an opportunity to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I doWeddedBliss14Dined on 9/3/2014Our first dinner as husband and wife, I was very happy with the service and food. Portion size was good, our server did a good job especially when they were short staffed, he really tried to hustle and see to our needs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday DinnerBirthdaypersonDined on 8/20/2014I chose this restaurant for my birthday dinner and am so glad I did. It was such a nice evening - beautiful restaurant, a view of the lake, good food, good service. I will definitely return and will tell my friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Give your customers what they askCircleTDined on 8/8/2014Overall decent experiance, we expected our steaks to be cooked the way that we ordered them. Especially for $36+ Each! The waiter did give us a free chocolate desert to try to make up for it, but that is not the point!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 118 reviews are from the Webb's Captain's Table reviews archive.
- Webb'sspecialkDined on 7/28/2014I read a lot of online reviews about Webb's prior to dining there with my wife. Our experience was fantastic. The menu has many items to choose for most palates. The veal Oscar was delicious and my Rib eye was cooked to a perfect medium rear. Our server, Kyleen, was attentive but not a helicopter waitress; she did a nice job selecting a wine pairing for my steak. The desert menu is simple with several cheese cakes, a lava cake called a chocolate bomb and a crème brulee. The view of the Lake Chautauqua and its surroundings is probably beautiful in the fall.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AnniversaryOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/25/2014Looking for seafood and steak and that is what we needed, very good . Wanted somewhere special for our anniversary and that was the perfect place and the service was awesome.Special Features:

We definitely will be back and thoroughly enjoyed Webbs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great location with great foodGARYFROMHAMBURGDined on 7/20/2014Situated across from Chautauqua Lake this restaurant is a fantastic spot for lunch or dinner after spending some time at the Chautauqua Institute. There are lots of choices on the menu for everyone. The food was delicious, the service was wonderful and the friendly people has made this one of my favorite places to eat.Special Features:
- Delicious!TravelChickDined on 7/19/2014Anyone who frequents Mayville and Chautauqua knows to stop at Webb's when your near. Expensive but delicious and special. It is odd that many dishes have the same sauce...I'd like their chef to learn some new ones...but it's great anyway.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very niceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/5/2014Great view. Good service. Good food. Cute stores to visitSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- not handicapped accessibleVisitorDined on 7/5/2014Four out of five meals were very good but my father's veal was over cooked. We were disappointed that there wasn't a way to get upstairs for guests that couldn't use the stairs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fineOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 7/4/2014It was an ok experience. We were lucky though that they were open during July 4th weekend - it seemed that a lot of area restaurants were closed. My friend had a salad and another friend and I had the fish special (sorry, don't remember the name of the fish, but it's a local fish). The fish itself was tasty, but it was overpowered by the breading.Special Features:
- Beautiful lake view diningEyeluvbeaglesDined on 6/19/2014A beautiful June night looking over Chautauqua Lake! Wait staff helpful with recommendations and drinks weren't watered down. Good service and reasonably pricedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- patkgeVIPDined on 5/25/2014we took a ride to the lake and decide to stop for lunch at webs. Always a great lunch and the staff is very friendly. The deck was open so we sat ourselves. Our server a young lady second day on the job was great!. You would have thought she had been on the job for years. She made sure our drinks were refilled and checked back with us often. Can't say enough good things about webbsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Almost thereRandybDined on 5/4/2014The bacon wrapped shrimp was decent ..A bit overcooked but the bbq was amazing! Ham and potato soup was very good. My companion got the strip steak it was cooked correctly and good however the sautéed mushrooms had a chemical aftertaste..not sure why..possibly the oil they were sautéed in. I had the fisherman's platter...relatively mediocre and I chose to have it broiled..literally swimming in butter. We ordered 4 oz lobster tails ...overcooked and very very salty. The atmosphere was nice enough. Service was a little slow but acceptable. Wish the food quality was better.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A-M-A-Z-I-N-G2nd2noneDined on 4/20/2014My family, and I were very impressed with everything here. We drove over 2 hours to get to Webbs; and we already can't wait to come back. I couldn't find anything I didn't like. I loved the fact that they make you feel like family, and are happy to go out of their way for their guests. I am so happy I found Webbs. I made reservations online and can't wait to make reservations again. Well worth any drive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worst everRossDined on 2/15/2014Do not waste your time or $$$. It was awful! Food was over an hour to the table and the service was slow/poor.i asked Webb's to contact me regarding several legitimate concerns and was ignored. The entire weekend was a total disappointment. We stayed at Webb's also and this mistake will never happen again.
- Just OkayOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/29/2013We have been here before and the meals were outstanding. This time, not so much. Veal was tough and not very flavorful. A little disappointed, but I would not rule them out. Perhaps their specialties are steak and seafood.Special Features:
- Enjoyable time!LynnDined on 8/31/2013If I were to give this restaurant a rating out of 100, I would give it a 90. I was satisfied with just about everything except the service was slow. We were there almost 10 minutes before anyone asked us what we wanted to drink. Then it took quite some time to have our order taken and the restaurant wasnt that busy. Other than that I was very satisfied.Special Features:
- Loved the scenic window viewSparklesDined on 8/31/2013Loved the scenic window view overlooking the lake. BLT salad with warm bacon dressing was outstanding.Was there for lunch and wasn't crowded or noisy. Service was fantastic. Would definetely go back !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- If you're in the ChautauquaJimmyDined on 8/20/2013If you're in the Chautauqua vicinity and looking for a nice place for dinner, this will do. A bit expensive, but service and food are pretty good, plenty of parking and close to the Institute.I would recommend this to a friend.

- Sunday's DinnerKDWDOEDined on 7/28/2013Our dinner at Webb's was as always very pleasant. We ordered the specials for the evening and left with doggie bags due to the generous portions. The food: prime rib, 1/2 chicken and chicken Oscar was perfectly cooked and delicious. Our server Nichole was attentive and very professional. Webb's is a standard of ours and we will certainly return.Special Features:
- Waste of moneyNodineDined on 7/26/2013Service was lacking. Food was poor. Never go again.
- great for all types of dinnersseanDined on 7/20/2013They really have enough room and different dining rooms that the experience can be whatever you want to to be but... make reservations and explain to the hostess what you're looking for. If you want loud and fun, or romantic and quiet it can be had as long they know what you want. The food is fantastic, wine list very good. Waiter was informed and gave good recommendations. It was our first time at restaurant and first time in the area, I'd return here without question.Special Features:
- Worth the tripMandGErieDined on 7/19/2013We have dined at Webb's Captain's Table on several occasions and have never been disappointed. Their French onion soup is the best we've ever had and that alone is worth the almost hour drive. The food, service, and ambiance are all excellent and the view of Chautauqua Lake is outstanding. Definitely recommend a visit to Webb's Captain's Table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Place!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/14/2013Just what we were looking for!! Great view--live entertainment--good food. Wait staff were courteous and attentive.

- Just okay ...Over21Dined on 6/15/2013We sat outside, and the atmosphere was good for a nice summer evening. However, the food was nothing special - not for the price. In addition, we had a waiter with very little personality, who carded my fiance and not me after we ordered a bottle of wine with dinner. I thought it was inappropriate and insensitive to imply that one of us might be under 21when we are both adults who are well past underage drinking. When you come and spend $120 on a nice meal, you would hope to be treated with respect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- out for a sunday drive andpatkgeVIPDined on 5/26/2013out for a sunday drive and decided to have a late lunch went on open table and Webb's came up. Made reservation and was pleasently surprized. Our host was very helpful as we said can we still get lunch at 4:00pm. He stated before seating us that sundays is dinner menu all day but we could sit in the bar area for a lighter menu. The bar was a great choice and our service was very good. Order their steak fries with your main selection you will be very impressed. Staff, food all was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- All was great and food wasSurfTurfDined on 5/18/2013All was great and food was awesome (Surf and Tuf) but the service was very slow. The waitress was great just overall it took about 2 hours. It was a busy night though with several proms so we were fine to enjoy the scene,Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Bulgaria's EDCs: We Are Concerned About the Energy Sector
Two of three of Bulgaria's electricity distribution companies (EDCs), EVN and CEZ, expressed their concern with the situation with the country's energy sectors.
The two, plus Energo-Pro, are threatened with losing their licenses, unless they pay to Bulgaria's National Electricity Company (NEK) BGN 318 M by the end of today.
Earlier today EVN transferred to NEK BGN 32 M with the stipulation that is providing short-term liquidity to NEK, which is allegedly in grave financial situation.
"The crisis of Bulgaria's energy sector is not created by us and it can only be overcome by changing the rules of the system," said the chairperson of the managerial board of EVN Bulgaria, Joerg Sollfelner. "Without waiving our rights regarding our claims, EVN will help for the establishing of those new rules, by providing short term liquidity to NEK."
Meanwhile, CEZ Bulgaria said in a message to the media, that the observation of their license obligation is their top priority. The company claimed it is strictly paying its dues.
"The companies in the CEZ group in Bulgaria have not stopped their payments to NEK and strictly observe their dues," said the statement.
According to CEZ, one of the main problems is the unsolved dispute about the payments of the producers of "green energy".
"We are concerned with the current situation," said Petr Dokladal, Chairman and Regional Manager of CEZ Bulgaria, quoted by the company's press office. "There is a problem in the sector and we have repeatedly warned the competent organs, including the State Commission for Energy and Water Regulation (DKEVR). We expect that the current problem be solved in a constructive and transparent manner."

DEVELOPERS wanting to build restaurants are appealing against Flintshire Council for taking too long to decide over their planning application.
Development Securities submitted a controversial planning application for a leisure park in Broughton on December 26 last year.
The company wants to build a pub restaurant, fast food outlets and a hotel on land between Broughton Retail Park and Chester Road.
A medical centre and council contact centre are also key elements of the revised scheme which previously included a cinema complex.
But Flintshire planners and local councillors have failed to support the proposals in the absence of any certainty over whether the medical centre, contact centre and hotel would be delivered.
Now the company has now lodged an appeal against Flintshire Council for non-determination of the application and has also submitted a second, identical application.
Mark Krassowski, director of Walsingham Planning, consultants for Development Securities, said it was likely Flintshire's planning committee would consider its position on the appeal and the fresh application at the next planning committee meeting, scheduled to take place on September 3.
"If the council decide to support the proposal, they can grant consent for the second application," Mr Krassowski said.
"Development Securities would then withdraw their appeal.
"If the council however decide to oppose the proposal, they will have to decide at the committee meeting on what grounds.
"If the appeal proceeds it is likely to be heard at a public inquiry in December 2014."

Å (Norwegian pronunciation: [oː], from "å" meaning "stream") is a village in the municipality of Moskenes in Nordland county, Norway. It is located towards the southern end of the Lofoten archipelago. It is connected to the rest of the archipelago by the European route E10 highway. This part of the highway is also called King Olav's Road.
The frequently stolen road sign approaching the village of Å
Until the 1990s, Å was mainly a small fishing village specializing in stockfish, but since then tourism has taken over as the main economic activity. The town features the Lofoten Stockfish Museum and the Norwegian Fishing Village Museum as two big tourist attractions. In May 2004, Å became the starting point of a cycling trip from A to B (with B represented by Bee, Nebraska).2

We reluctantly said goodbye to a fab summer - ending on a high note in Minnesota & with a 'grand finale day' at 6 Flags….
One month in, what have we found?…...
There are some fab schools in this city
All 3 kids consolidated into another new school this fall
The school is FAB & we're super excited to be there:
As a Creative Arts school they often take non-traditional, interesting approaches to typical subjects…shown painting in math class
They have weekly Community Meetings where X recently read his poem about California
That said, it did mean they all had to be 'new kids' once again.
Fur DOES buy happiness
How to offset anxiety? Soviet style - with fur….
Meet our new Russian dwarf hamster - purchased day 2 of school. I wanted to name her Putin, but the kids protested - introducing 'Hazel'
Making your own rules is encouraged….
The kids' school subscribes to a "Responsive Classroom" philosophy - where kids are included in creating the rules.
Some examples from Grade 2….
This 'make your own rules' mentality is contagious
Clearly the message has gotten out beyond the walls of the schools. My favorite, recent sightings of 'doing it my way'….
A dancer on the corner not far fom us...
A dude casually walking about town on a Sunday afternoon...
(Forgive the photo quality - was so busy processing what we saw, I didn't have time to get the window down)
Uopn closer look…
(Yes - totally naked x-a sock like cover for his willy + sensible shoes & man bag)
New can be exhausting
While the bus comes just 2 blocks away, they are a steep 2 blocks….
(waiting for the bus)
And by Friday, everyone's pretty limp…
Here's to the 'outside of the box' fostered at school & prevelant in SF - and a special hats off to all the teachers who help lead them there

1 kilo of cocaine, plural version would be "BIRDS"
ive got only about a half a bird left untill i holler at spanish jose later this evening
di crispy chris the barber 19 agosto 2007
It is the word
Bird, bird bird...bird is the word
di iCreatewords 05 febbraio 2010
A Bird is an impeccable coincidence with a twist of fate. A Bird is a reoccuring, odd experience sharing a crazy detail. When something is Bird it is meant to be and it is brought into exsistance at the exact moment it is required. Bird is when two or more individuals experience or think the exact same thing at the exact same time. Bird is a moment. Bird is a revolution.

Rielle Hunter CRUSHED By Whoopi Goldberg, Elisabeth Hasselbeck on The Viewby Free Britney at . Comments
Rielle Hunter was eviscerated on The View yesterday as the gabfest panel, in particular Whoopi Goldberg, went nuclear on John Edwards' mistress.
"In your book, you trash a dead lady," Goldberg stated, referring to Rielle Hunter's new tell-all book, in which she bashes Elizabeth Edwards often.
"That was kind of crappy."
Regarding What Really Happened: John Edwards, Our Daughter and Me, the author responded, "I wrote to tell the truth. I was truthful about their dynamic."
In the interview, Hunter acknowledged that despite recent photos of the happy family on a North Carolina beach, she broke up with John Edwards.
Asked if the split was caused by her memoir, Rielle dodged. "I don't want to hide any more," she said. "It's hard under media scrutiny, it takes a toll."
The mother of Edwards' love child spent a good part of the interview defending herself. "I'm not a mistress, I'm a mom," Rielle Hunter insisted.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck wasn't buying it: "Truth be told, you were a mistress."Even Barbara Walters piled it on, saying she had a "bone to pick" with Hunter for accusing Walters of "bullying" after Rielle's interview with Oprah.
"I have no idea what you mean by that," Walters said. "I've done thousands of interviews and I've never bullied or screamed at anyone."
"I've made people cry, but I've never screamed."
"It's not the first time, and it won't be the last, that people remember things differently," replied Hunter, who may want to skip The View on her next PR tour.
normally i dont care for the view but in this case none of them are wrong, she slept with a married man and has the gall to attack his dead wife in a book and then tour the country making money off it? what is the world coming to

Vidyo, Inc., the first company to deliver personal telepresence, today announced that Vidyo's innovative software platform will power Wii U™ Chat, a video communication service that is included with every Wii U console. Vidyo's open platform allows game developers to easily embed video chat into their games. This announcement represents both a major step towards mass consumer adoption of video as a mainstream communication modality and further validation of Vidyo's powerful software platform as the fabric of visual communication.
Vidyo Technology in Action: Vidyo-Powered Video Chat Service via Nintendo's Wii U(TM) (Photo: Business Wire)
"Vidyo provided Nintendo with a video solution that adapts to changing network conditions while being easy for consumers to use from the comfort of their living rooms," said Genyo Takeda, General Manager, Integrated Research & Development Division, Nintendo Co., Ltd. "Vidyo's software delivers both quality and performance and is easily integrated into Nintendo's technology."
"This is an unprecedented opportunity for both Vidyo and Nintendo," said Ofer Shapiro, CEO and co-founder at Vidyo. "Through this collaboration, we'll be adding Wii U consoles to the pool of Vidyo enabled systems which will build critical mass around Vidyo's scalable architecture and software platform. With major players in a variety of industries selecting Vidyo's software platform, including Google, Ricoh and Philips, we are changing the way people communicate visually in every facet of their lives. We are excited to have Nintendo, one of the most well-known companies in the world, also using our technology. Vidyo is the leader in business video communication and this partnership with Nintendo further extends and validates our leadership in the consumer market."
Vidyo's architecture and software platform have changed the economics and usage models for visual communications. Markets where video was previously seen as economically or technically unfeasible are now reachable via Vidyo's innovative software platform. Previous attempts to bring video into the living room have failed – due to high price points, complicated deployments and purpose-built hardware. To learn more, click here.
The Vidyo Difference
The Vidyo communication and collaboration platform is software-based, highly flexible and can be easily customized for individual enterprise and vertical market video conferencing needs. The VidyoRouter™ is based on the company's patented Adaptive Video Layering architecture and leverages the standard based Scalable Video Coding (SVC) - technology. It eliminates the MCU and offers unprecedented error resiliency, low latency and rate matching enabling natural, affordable, high quality video to work over the Internet, LTE, 3G and 4G networks. The Vidyo platform allows users to quickly leverage the latest hardware innovations and new consumer devices, making it uniquely attractive to partners. Vidyo has been active driving H.264 SVC, HEVC and SIP videoconferencing interoperability in various standards bodies since 2005.
About Vidyo, Inc.
Vidyo, Inc. pioneered Personal Telepresence enabling natural, HD multi-point videoconferences on tablets and smart phones, PCs and Macs, room systems, gateways that interoperate with H.323 and SIP endpoints, telepresence solutions and affordable cloud-based visual communications solutions.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

You're hanging around and got nuthin' to do
You want to get out some pills in front of you
You fly on invisivble wings
Be careful my friend for too many can kill
You say that the meaning of life's in those pills
You forget all earthly things
You swallow your pill you want to feel free
A trip to a world made of games
You do it again yet it's never the same
But a junkie's not somethin' to be
[Chorus] Starlight! Fallin' in deep through your eyes!
Starlight! Shinin' down for your soul to arise!
Now there's a needle lying in front of you
I'm frightened of those things
But I'll know what you'll do
You need it to escape from the night, ha ha
You ride on through heaven you don't feel no pain

You ride on and ride on again and again
On the needle that brings you the light
You feel the mind-blowin' stuff

You take off and fly to the sun
But when you get too near your wings will be burnt
You'll die in the flames and you'll fall

New tech displays your smartphone on your car's windshield
Avisual display that projects cell phone features such as texting, voice calls and email onto the windshield of your car has been developed by Indian-origin engineers in the U.S. The technology called HeadsUP! allows users to engage with their smartphones without needing to look down, or fumbling with them while driving. It enables voice dictation and touch-free swiping to let users interact with the screen, said NeXT, the US-based company behind HeadsUP! The user gets into their vehicle, launches the HeadsUP! app, and connects to the HeadsUP! interface either through USB or Bluetooth. When inactive, HeadsUP! is completely transparent. It activates automatically when the user receives an incoming call or message, which displays on the transparent display. The user can ignore the message or use voice and/or gesture commands to respond. PTI

Agrium shares seen lagging in shadow of CF bid
TORONTO (Reuters) - Agrium Inc's (AGU.TO) share price could lag as long as the Canadian fertilizer maker persists in its takeover bid for CF Industries (CF.N), which partly offsets the benefits of recovery in fertilizer demand.
Calgary, Alberta-based Agrium has pursued its smaller U.S. rival for almost a year and prospects of an Agrium-CF deal have improved slightly now that CF has ended its own hostile bid for Terra Industries TRA.N. [ID:nN14179782] However, the improved chances for a deal may not bode well for Agrium's shareholders in the short term.
A friendly transaction is improbable unless the Canadian fertilizer maker and agricultural products retailer again boosts its offer for CF. But analysts are concerned that a higher bid may prove to be prohibitively expensive for Agrium.
The company repeatedly raised its bid for CF during 2009, while CF time and again spurned Agrium's overtures. The current "best and final" offer of $45 in cash, plus one Agrium share per CF share, is worth $5.2 billion. Even so, CF maintains that the bid is still "far from compelling".
Broadpoint AmTech analyst Edlain Rodriguez is concerned that it will cost Agrium way too much to win CF, whose share price has already more than doubled from a year ago.
"If Agrium were to walk away from CF right now, the same way CF walked away from Terra, then Agrium's stock would probably go up significantly," said Rodriguez, who sees Agrium shares lagging as long as it continues its pursuit of CF.
The New York Stock Exchange-listed shares of Agrium have already fallen more than 5 percent since CF dropped its bid for Terra on Thursday. CF said it withdrew its offer because a deal would have been too costly for its shareholders to bear.
Some argue that Agrium will be forced to drop its pursuit of CF for the same reason, but for now the company is plowing ahead and has nominated two directors for election to CF's board at this year's annual shareholder meeting.
Agrium also extended the expiration date of its offer to February 22. Thus far about 28 percent of CF's shares have been tendered in favor of Agrium's offer.
However, even if a majority of CF's shareholders support its bid, Agrium is not in a position to force a deal as CF still has a poison pill and a staggered board that it can use to stymie any unfriendly takeover.
Thomas Weisel Partners analyst Horst Hueniken said Agrium may have to cough up as much as $20 a share more to win CF, but warns that a higher bid would hurt Agrium's valuation.
"We don't know Agrium's willingness to pay more for CF. However, should Agrium ultimately decide to pay $20 more, we calculate this to represent a transfer of wealth amounting to $6.15 per Agrium share," said Hueniken in a note to clients.
"We contend that the stock market will price in a portion of this negative wealth transfer into Agrium's share price," adding that he expects Agrium shares to underperform those of its peers in the short term.
Agrium, for its part, has said it will be disciplined and not continue bidding against itself in its effort to win CF.
"You can't let your emotions get in the way of either running away from a deal, or running rapidly to the point of overpaying in a deal," said Agrium Chief Executive Mike Wilson, who has steered his company through a series of acquisitions.
Furthermore, some analysts remain bullish on the stock.
Last week, National Bank Financial analyst Hari Sambasivam raised his share-price target on Agrium to $72 from $65, citing the company's plans to increase its potash production capacity and increase nitrogen volumes from its Egyptian joint venture.
Also, projections of a bumper corn harvest in the United States in 2009 have analysts expecting strong nitrogen, potash and phosphate demand in 2010 as farmers scramble to replenish their soil nutrient levels.
That could benefit Agrium and boost its share price as the company owns the largest agricultural products retail network in the United States.
On the other hand, some analysts think that any upside from the retail business is already priced into the stock.
"Agrium continues to make accretive, thoughtful acquisitions on the retail side," said Dahlman Rose & Co analyst Charles Neivert. "(But) we believe the market is already giving Agrium credit for its retail operations."
Agrium will have to continue to appeal to CF's shareholders to pressure their board if it is to secure a deal.
"But to get the shareholders more engaged, Agrium may have to sweeten its bid further," said Neivert, who recently lowered his rating on Agrium to "hold" from "buy".

The column where we answer your questions
February 28, 2005
The regular Monday column in which our editor answers your questions about (almost) any aspect of cricket. This week there's a distinctly Transatlantic flavour:
Did any first-class cricketers perish on board the Titanic? asked Cherry Evans from Cape Town
As far as I know, there was only one: John Thayer, a member of a prominent American cricketing family (three of his brothers also played). John Borland Thayer, a vice-president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was just a week short of his 50th birthday when the Titanic went down on April 15, 1912. Some years before he'd played in seven matches now recognised as first-class - three for the Philadelphians and four for "American Born", all at the Germantown Cricket Club in Pennsylvania, a hotbed of cricket at the time. He didn't have a huge amount of success, scoring 138 runs at 11.50, and taking six wickets at 26.83. His highest score (24) and best bowling (3 for 17) both came for Philadelphia against the United States in October 1883. His wife, son and maid survived the ship's sinking. The most prominent sportsman on board the Titanic was probably Richard Norris Williams, who survived to win the American national tennis championship singles in 1914 and 1916, and also won the Wimbledon men's doubles in 1920.
What's the cricketing equivalent of Cal Ripken's "streak" of consecutive baseball games? asked Dana Forrest from Baltimore
Cal Ripken junior played an amazing 2632 consecutive major-league baseball games for the Baltimore Orioles between 1982 and 1998 without missing one for injury, illness or any other reason. The cricket equivalent, in English cricket at least, is the record for the most successive matches in the County Championship, and that's held by the Sussex batsman Ken Suttle, who [played 423 consecutive three-day games for Sussex between 1954 and 1969. He was neck and neck for much of that time with Jimmy Binks, the Yorkshire wicketkeeper, who played 412 consecutive Championship matches between his debut in 1954 and his retirement in 1969. Both of them were helped (if that's the right word) by never being selected to play for England at home, which would probably have interrupted their sequences. Binks played two Tests, both in India in 1963-64, and Suttle never played any, although he did tour West Indies in 1953-54 without winning a cap.
Have any Test cricketers been born in the United States? asked Denise Thompson from Trinidad
Two Test players have been born in the USA. The first was Kenneth Weekes, who was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1912. "Bam-Bam" Weekes, who went to live and play in Jamaica, played in two of the Tests on West Indies' tour of England in 1939. The hard-hitting Weekes slammed 137 at The Oval in what turned out to be the last Test match before the Second World War. Weekes eventually returned to the USA, and died in Brooklyn in 1998. More recently Jehan Mubarak, who was born in Washington, has played four Tests for Sri Lanka.
Has there ever been a baseball-style "double play" in cricket, in which two batsmen were out at once? asked Dilip Khaura from Delhi
No, there hasn't so far been a double play - at the moment the laws state that the ball becomes dead when a batsman is dismissed. But there is a move afoot to make it possible, in one-day cricket at least: a sub-committee of the International Cricket Council, chaired by the former Indian great Sunil Gavaskar, suggested this among several measures aimed at adding interest to the game at after a meeting earlier this month.
Who was the England cricket captain who played for the Hollywood Cricket Club? asked Richard Cramer from Los Angeles
This was Aubrey Smith, the former Sussex bowler who captained England in what turned out to be his only Test, against South Africa at Port Elizabeth in 1888-89. After an adventurous life he carved a niche for himself in Hollywood as an archetypal Englishman, and he appeared in more than 100 movies, including classics like The Prisoner of Zenda and The Four Feathers. In 1932 he actually founded the Hollywood Cricket Club, whose pitch was planted with imported English grass. Fellow expats, such as David Niven and Boris Karloff, played alongside some occasionally bemused locals. Smith was knighted for services to Anglo-American amity in 1944, and died in 1948. The story goes that, late in life and by then a famous face in films, Sir Aubrey paid a visit to Lord's and was spotted in the pavilion. "That man over there seems familiar," remarked one member to another. "Yes, said the second, who was obviously not a film fan: "Chap called Smith. Used to play for Sussex."
Was the USA team that played against Australia in the Champions Trophy in September the oldest, on average, to play in a one-day international? asked Gautam Bhose
Funnily enough I was asked this question at that time, and answered it in this column on October 4. Here's what I said then: "Yes, indeed it was - the average of that side at the Rose Bowl was around 35 years and seven months. It was appreciably older than the USA side that played in the first match of the Champions Trophy, as it included Donovan Blake, 42, and 38-year-old Nasir Javed, in place of Clayton Lambert, 42, and Jignesh Desai - a sprightly 30 - who played in that first game, against New Zealand. The venerable Holland team that played in the 1996 World Cup fills the next three spots on the table, but the oldest one-day side fielded by a Test nation was by England, against New Zealand at Wellington in 1974-75. Its average age was a touch under 33 years, and it included Fred Titmus, 42, and John Edrich, 37."

July 18, 2013
Chevron U.S.A. Inc. has paid $422,500 in penalties for supplying gasoline and diesel fuel in violation of California regulations designed to protect air quality.Chevron agreed to pay the penalties as part of three separate settlements it reached with the California Air Resources Board. In all, 15.9 million gallons of fuel were in violation of state regulations, according to a CARB announcement.
In two cases, Chevron disclosed the violations. In the third, CARB enforcement staff discovered the violation as a result of routine fuel sampling.• Chevron paid $205,000 for supplying more than 385,000 gallons of gasoline in violation of California reformulated gasoline regulations between mid-June 2009 and Aug. 1, 2009. Dispensed from Chevron terminals in Sacramento and San Jose, the fuel did not contain adequate amounts of ethanol. • Chevron paid $192,500 for supplying more than 15.5 million gallons of gasoline in violation of California reformulated gasoline regulations. Analysis of gasoline samples indicated olefin levels exceeded certain required specifications. Higher levels of olefin mean more smog will be formed from tailpipe emissions since hydrocarbons, including olefin, react with sunlight and other pollutants to form smog. Chevron was notified by CARB of the violation, and took immediate steps to find and rectify the cause to prevent future occurrences. • Chevron paid $25,000 in penalties for supplying and selling more than 36,000 gallons of diesel fuel in August 2009 that did not meet a required minimum cetane number. (The cetane number indicates the combustion quality of a diesel fuel, and how likely it is to create excess hydrocarbon emissions. When the cetane number is too low, unburned hydrocarbons, which lead to smog, tend to increase.)

Arizona Cardinals
Updated Mar 9, 2013 - 5:55 pm
Arizona Cardinals release Early Doucet, tender offer to Brian Hoyer, extend offers to three others
The Arizona Cardinals announced they have released wide receiver Early Doucet, tendered an offer to free agent quarterback Brian Hoyer and extended offers to three exclusive rights free agents, running backs William Powell, Alfonso Smith and defensive end Ronald Talley.
Doucet had 28 receptions for 207 yards in 12 games last season for the Cardinals. In five seasons with the team ranging from 2008-12, the wideout had 139 receptions for 1,491 yards and seven touchdowns in 54 regular season games.
The Cardinals tendered a one-year qualifying contract offer to Hoyer. But as a restricted free agent, Hoyer can talk with other teams until April 19. Arizona has the right to match any offer or receive a second-round draft pick in return.

Hate It or Love It?!?!
When Mayor Rahm Emanuel took over, he immediately made it quite clear that he would do whatever it takes to get Chicago's fiscal house in order. As the state and the county struggle with the same issues, one topic has come up again and again: marijuana decriminalization.
So, on Wednesday, one alderman took action. Ald. Danny Solis (25th) introduced an ordinance to the City Council that would make possession of small amounts of marijuana a ticketable offense — leaving offenders to pay a $200 fine versus a misdemeanor charge, the Associated Press reports.
"In these trying times of the economy, we could really use the revenue generated by fines versus arrests," Solis told the AP. "And each (arrest) means police officers are spending an inordinate amount of time outside the neighborhoods, inside the district offices doing paperwork."
Alderman Solis isn't alone in his desire to change the city's drug policy.
Ald. Joe Moreno (1st) wrote a blog for the Huffington Post last week about his support for the Solis ordinance, and shared some thoughts on America's "War on Drugs":
"The fact that governments all over the country are broke can be a good thing, if lawmakers are brave enough to stop appealing to the lowest common denominator and start telling the truth. This ordinance begins this in Chicago.
The War on Drugs started a year before I was born. It needs to die ASAP, because it has become a de facto war on poor people, minorities and reason."
Solis estimates that the change would bring the city $7 million per year and also save police and court workers "money and thousands of hours of time."
Earlier this month, the Chicago Reader reported that Cook County spent at least $78 million each year arresting, prosecuting, and jailing people for possession of marijuana. Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle has made it clear that she wants those costs to go down, and wants police to stop making arrests for low-level drug possession offenses county-wide. Cook County commissioner John Fritchey also supports decriminalization.
Fritchey says:
"The simple truth is that the decades-long policies that we have had toward possession of small amounts of marijuana have failed to do anything other than fill our jails with nonviolent offenders, strain our budgets, and according to some studies, even cause an increase in more serious crime."
We're sure there would be some happy muhfuggas in "The Windy" if the city decided to adopt THIS policy!
