Triwizard scoring tomfoolery.
May my Lord have more difficulties.
I understand why Crouch Jr. demonstrated the unforgiven curses and tried Imperius on children - that's what Moody would do. But don't you think he went too much into the Role? I mean, he basically trained Harry's Imperius-resistance to perfection. Why do that, if you serve Voldemort? And don't tell me it was because of Dumbledore - he didn't know about Harry's resistance-potential and wouldn't find out, so there was no need to teach it to Harry SPECIFICALLY.
The odd couple
Okay, so Hagrid's mother is a giantess while he father was a rather small man...how does that work? How would they even...or am I better off not knowing?
BOOOO!!! We wanted to see some ACTION!!!!
Just where the hell is Durmstrang?
For a flaming goblet, this thing sure is confusing.

I have returned from the dead! But remember, I never actually died.
Sweep the Dementors under the rug!
So, in the end, while DD is enlightening Fudge on the current situation with all the subtlety of a battering ram, he, among other things, semands that "the Dementors must be removed from Azkhaban". Ok, Captain Smarty Beard, two questions here:
Even Evil Love Quidditch
There's No Shame In Not Trying, Harry
Why is Harry even making an effort with Triwizard Tournament? Why not just show up and twiddle your thumbs for the next couple of hours? What's the Goblet of Fire going to do, yell at him? Fleur probably could have tried harder on the second task, but the Magical Cup of Child Endangerment didn't hurt her. So why isn't Dumbledore just having Harry show up and screw around for an hour or so, or work on school work in the corner or something while the ones who are of age do the tasks? That seems like the safest thing to do.
Why bother with the tournament at all?
Funniest thing happened during the autopsy...
So according to Crouch Jr., his mother posed as him in Azkaban, and died as him. Through whatever means, she kept drinking Polyjuice Potion to stay as him. So what happened after she died? Did they literally just dig a hole and throw "him" in within the hour, somehow contacting Crouch and Crouch Jr. to come prior to? Were they doing an autopsy when the corpse suddenly started transforming? Or did they come across the cell and notice that the young man inside has been replaced with the corpse of a dead woman?
You stole from a dragon, this means friendship
So why exactly does Ron instantly forgive Harry after the first task? He was angry at Harry since he thought that Harry had been entering for more fame and stuff, yet once Harry beat the dragon he immediately thought "You stole from a dragon! Somehow this explains everything!". What.
To announce your secret return to your arch-nemesis, press 1
Upon returning into flesh, V activates Wormtail's Dark Mark, so that all the Death Eaters feel it and come to him. All of them feel it. Including Snape, who has or has not betrayed him, and Karkaroff, who's definitely betrayed him and might just decide that rather than escaping he'd better seek protection with DD. Not to mention, of course, that DD could've easily arranged the incarcerated D Es to be checked daily for the sign of reactivated Dark Mark. So, did V really not think about it? After all the extensive preparations and meticulous planning, that's just downright pathetic.
Of all the crazy plans by insane people...
Informed inability to duel
So, when Harry is supposed to duel with Voldemort, he remembers his dueling classes and says that he knows only one dueling spell - the Expelliarmus. Really? He spent weeks preparing for the Maze, learning things like Stupefy, Impedimenta, Protego etc, most of which would be very useful and legit dueling spells. Those were, BTW, the spells he taught to the Dumbledore's Army next year, he hadn't learned anything new since then because of Umbridge.
Voldemort's Wand
So, Voldemort tried to killed Harry, it didn't work out, the House exploded, Voldemort's Body disappeared. OK, let's assume that the Wand survived all that. Shouldn't it remain in Potter's House? And if so, how come that no one from ministry or whatever found it and disposed of it? How did it get in Wormtail's possession so that he could return it to his Master?
No modern numerals?
When Arthur Weasley is trying to pay the camp manager, he needs Harry's help to distinguish between the 'little symbols' that represent numbers. He doesn't even know what a five looks like! Since he's supposed to be the head expert on everything Muggle, does this mean the rest of the wizarding community have never seen modern numerals in their lives? Of the many problems this would cause, how would they even recognise Platform 9 and 3/4s, for a start? What about essay writing, or textbooks? When a potion recipe says heat your cauldron for 30 minutes, do they spell it out all the time, or use Roman numerals or something? What about transactions at Gringotts, how complicated would the calculations be?
So who were they planning to kill?
At the beginning of the book, Voldemort and Wormtail have a conversation where there is much talk of "if I murder" and "One more murder... my faithful servant at Hogwarts... Harry Potter is as good as mine." Yet if Wormtail ever does murder this person they're talking about, we certainly don't hear about it. Frank Bryce and Cedric Diggory are only victims of circumstance. Bertha Jorkins was already dead and Barty Crouch Sr. was originally imperiused and only killed because he escaped. So who was it that Voldemort and Wormtail were planning to murder?
Rita Skeeter only exists to cause trouble! Now excuse me while I believe everything she says
What is with Molly Weasley's inconsistent opinion of Rita Skeeter? After the World Cup, Mrs. Weasley agrees with everyone else that Rita Skeeter is the worst kind of "journalist," one that spreads sensationalist lies to get more readers and is not to be believed. After Rita's article about the Triwizard Champions (the colorful life story of Harry) we hear from Charlie that Mrs. Weasley was quite upset when she heard that Harry still cries over his parents. After Rita's article about the supposed love geometry between Hermione, Harry, and Krum, Mrs. Weasley sends Hermione an insultingly small Easter Egg. When Mrs. Weasley and Bill arrive at Hogwarts to cheer for Harry in the third task, Amos Diggory gives Harry a bunch of shit over the colorful life story article and Mrs. Weasley snaps at him that he should know better than to believe anything Rita Skeeter says. At dinner, Mrs. Weasley treats Hermione coldly until Harry explains to her that Hermione was never his girlfriend and that Rita Skeeter was making up more lies (you know, like what Mrs. Weasley was just telling Mr. Diggory). So over the course of the book, Mrs. Weasley's opinion of Rita Skeeter goes from Disbelief to belief, then more belief, then back to disbelief, right back to belief, then finally settles on disbelief. What
Practicing for his Twilight audition?
ALL of Quidditch is cancelled so THREE students can compete!
Forget the complex plot to trap Harry, Death Eaters, Aurors, the fact that nobody asks how Cedric died when Harry returns, until the next book (when he's just a social outcast rather than the subject of an investigation). And imagine for a moment that a major football school cancels football for the entire year so that three people (who may or may not play football) can compete in something completely unrelated. Chess, let's say. Quidditch is even bigger to Hogwarts than non-magical sports are; what school has four teams in the same sport? If the Tri-Wizard tournament involved...say...most of the school, cancelling Quidditch would still seem odd. When only three Wizards compete, it's downright perplexing.
Triwizard Champions don't take exams?
So, uh, what was going to happen to Cedric's N.E.W.T.s?
So Much Trouble for a Little Headstart?
Why did Crouch need to help Harry through the first two tasks? He repeatedly put his cover at risk if not blew it completely, and for what? The...peculiar nature of the Tournament meant that for all his successes Harry only got some time ahead of his competitors, and it hardly mattered, since, apparently, in the third task Crouch could just remove all the obstacles from his way (he probably only left a few so it didn't look suspiciously easy). Hell, his hint in the first task had driven Harry to master Accio, which allowed him to escape the cemetery!
So you can Accio the Triwizard Cup, eh?
Well, that would have made the maze quite a bit easier if anyone had thought of it. You'd think they would put some sort of protections on that.
The plan is too complicated even if we assume rules about portkeys.
So, let's work in the 'ideal' world where the Cup is the only working Portkey, authorized by DD, and Fake!Moody couldn't enchant something else. So Harry had to enter, and win to get Portkeyed. Uh, no? Since Fake!Moody was the one who put the Cup in the maze in the first place, he could have, instead, simply put the Cup in his office and invited Harry in, and, oh, look at this. As an added bonus, he could have portkeyed with Harry, and then brought the Cup back to Hogwarts, and Harry's just mysteriously disappeared. (If the return trip takes Fake!Moody to the bleachers and someone sees him arrive, haha, everyone laugh at Moody, who accidentally touched the Cup he was carrying and got Portkeyed across campus.) A lot of mental gymnastics have come up with some reasonable justifications for the Cup being the only good way to kidnap Harry, but there's not a very good reason to do that kidnapping via rigging the Twiwizard Tournament instead of just Moody handing the Cup to Harry! Hell, Harry didn't even have to be in the Tournament.
Ron's robe
Minor nitpick: Why did Molly give Ron hand-me-down robe for Yule without even trying to fit it into something more fashinable? She is a housewife with required manual talent and plenty of free time, so if she's so loving mother why don't she devote some time to make a nice clothes for one in lifetime event for her son? Lots of people use second hand clothes as a base for more fashionable creations and not-so-rich mother of several children should have all sewing tricks in her fingertips.
Triwizard Renewal
It's Rude to Check Back?
After Harry told Sirius about the dragons, and the man said he had a solution which he was going to reveal right after he finishes dumping out exposition and, of course, he never got a chance to reveal it, what exactly prevented Harry from writing a letter to him and asking him for that solution?! It's not the secrecy thing, since he had no qualms to write Sirius about his victory, he certainly wasn't embarrassed to ask for help, so what gives? I understand why Sirius didn't write to him and told it, since note he was instructed by DD to only give the kid a hint so that Harry thinks of the spell by himselfnote , but Harry didn't know that.
Constant Vigilance Except When It Matters
Talking The Monster To Death
So if Fleur was a male...
Blood, Apparations, and Sirius Black all make for a better plan
The strange first evening at Hogwarts in the film.
The students from the other two schools arrive for the first day feast and sorting - Dumbledore even says they've just been sorted. However... the Hogwarts students watch and point as the two schools arrive in broad daylight - but Hogwarts students usually step off of the Hogwarts Express after sundown and go straight to the feast.
What would have happened if someone had swatted Rita Skeeter in insect form?
Would she have reverted to her human form, squashed flat? And would that have been considered a crime under Wizarding law? My gut feeling is no; since she was an unregistered Animagus, nobody would have any way of knowing she wasn't a real bug.

The goal of the YLTP or Youth Leadership Training Program is to train young leaders who are well informed, full of commitment, creators of new political cultures and who are ready to take over the management of their society and their nation. As part of the effort of achieving this goal, which seems a bit heavy compared to today's political concepts, the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) organizes the annual training program called Youth Leadership Training Program.
The training is composed of two distinct modules, namely courses on personal development and the thematic courses that deal with issues relating to society, nation and globalization. This year, in its eighth class, the program plans to host 25 participants out of the 300 applications received. These participants are representatives of the 22 regions of Madagascar in all their diversity and plurality and are from various fields and organizations, including political parties, media and civil society.

Tesla Soars on Q2 Profit
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Tesla Motors (TSLA) shares surged 8.8% to $146.00 in after-hours trading, according to Nasdaq.com, following earnings that blew past Wall Street expectations.
The electric car maker, led by CEO Elon Musk, earned 5 cents a share on $405 million in revenue, as global deliveries of the Model S surged to 5,150 units for the quarter. Gross margin for the quarter was 22%, despite a reduction in ZEV credits, something investors had been worried about.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected Tesla to lose 17 cents a share on $383.4 million in revenue for the second quarter.
"During Q2, we improved our production rate by 25% from 400 to almost 500 vehicles per week. 5,150 cars were delivered during the quarter, significantly surpassing our expectation of 4,500 deliveries," CEO Elon Musk said in the letter to shareholders. "In the quarter, we produced several hundred more Model S vehicles for use as service loaners, for customer test drives and for deliveries to European customers in Q3. We are now doing final assembly and testing of vehicles at our European manufacturing facility in Tilburg, Netherlands."For the third quarter, Tesla said it expects to deliver slightly over 5,000 cars as the company expands into Europe, and remains on track to deliver 21,000 Model S units during the year. The company said it expects non-GAAP gross margins to be "in the low 20% range, with continuing improvements in Model S vehicle margin, offset by significantly lower ZEV credit revenue." Tesla shares closed the regular session lower, losing 5.6% to finish at $134.17. -- Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email. Follow @Chris_Ciaccia

Senior rebel commander surrenders in Herat (Video)By Mawladad Yaqobi Jan 31, 2012 - 15:29
HERAT CITY (PAN): A 30-member rebel group, including a senior Taliban commander, joined the peace process in western Herat province, officials said on Monday.
Led by Mullah Abdullah, the group was operating in Pashtun Zarghoon district and eastern parts of the province, Governor Daud Shah Saba told a gathering at the border police headquarters.
He called the peace drive a success, saying 31 militant gangs had renounced the insurgency in the province this year. The surrender would help improve security in the areas and pave the way for executing development projects there, he hoped.

April 5, 2014, – Tampa, FL – Limited Late Models, Gagel's Open Wheel Modifieds, V8 Warriors and the Motorstats.com 4 Cylinder Bombers were all on hand to find out who will be in Victory Lane at The Clay By The Bay tonight.
First feature of the night went to the V8 Warriors. Winning their heats early on were Derek Gray and Mike Wilson. It would be Bill Bill Smith and Brett Phillips making up the front row for the 15 Lap Feature Event. When the green waved it was Bill Bill Smith taking charge for the first few laps until Jimmy Baker and Smith crossed the line on lap three with Smith over Baker by just a half a car length. But it was on the very next lap as Smith was trying to hold off Baker and found himself spinning out in turn four putting him to the tail end of the field. On the restart it was Baker leading with Brett Phillips and Mike Wilson the top three. Baker did everything he could to hold off the field but it was on lap fourteen as Mike Wilson would take over the lead coming out of turn four and going on to win the feature. Rounding out the top five were Raymond Van, Jimmy Baker, Bill Whitney and Derek Gray.
Next up were the Limited Late Models. A good field of cars was on hand as 19 cars registered for the nights action. Winning their heats early on were Forrest Gough, Roger Crouse and Richard Livernois, Jr. On the front row for the feature it would be Jason Pope and Henry Burnside. Burnside quickly took the lead and would remain there until the first caution would come out for Jeremy Simpson stopping on the backstretch ending his night with seventeenth place for the feature. The green flag would wave once again for the restart as Burnside led the next three laps with Crouse on his back bumper until the caution had come out as Dalton Goldhammer would spin in turn four. Caution would come out once more on lap ten with Troy Dittebrand spinning in turn four which now would make it a single file restart with less than five laps to go. Jesse Brown spun in turn two before they could get a lap in and then when the green waved once again it was Burnside up front with Crouse close behind. As Crouse appeared to catch Burnside in turn four, he had appeared to check up and Dale Pope had to check up as well and found himself spinning out and bringing the caution out. It was on lap fourteen when a diving Forrest Gough went to the inside and getting by Burnside and Scotty Williams and would go on to pick up his second feature win of the season making it back-to-back wins. Rounding out the top five were Scotty Williams, Roger Crouse, Jason Pope and Stephen Hohlbaugh.
The Gagel's Open Wheel Modifieds were next up for their 15 Lap Feature Event with Austin Sanders picking up the heat win early on. For the feature it would be Jerry Bruce and Bill Howard starting on the front row. As the green flag waved it would be Matt Miller after starting from the fourth position quickly went to the front. But it was on lap two when the first caution would come out as Nate Bregenzer slowed on the backstretch. Bregenzer was able to continue on as Miller took the green flag on the restart with Howard and Crouse the top three. Matt Miller went on to win the feature as no other cautions would come out with Roger Crouse, Buzzie Reutimann, Austin Sanders and Bill Howard rounded out the top five.
The final feature of the night went to the Motorstats.com 4 Cylinder Bombers. Winning their heats early on were John Moore and Patrick Fiore, Sr.. It would be Stephen Morris and Jimmy Williams making up the front row for the 15 Lap Feature Event. The green flag waved and Williams quickly jumped out front leading until the first caution came out on lap three as Richard Humfeld and Devon Smith tangled in turn two and just before Smith could take off Terry Cannon collided into the back of Smith. All drivers were okay and were able to continue on. Williams would lead the field to the restart until lap five as John Moore took over the lead. The final caution came out on lap ten as Edith Scott backed her car into turn four wall with no damage and second place Patrick Fiore, Sr. had to turn left into the infield ending his night with a right rear flat. Moore would lead the final laps and go on to win back-to-back features with George Handy, Jimmy Williams, Richard Humfeld and Stephen Morris rounding out the top five.

Welcome to the roaring teens. We're in the aftermath of the worst economic crisis, many people argue, since the Great Depression. As mightily as governments, central banks, and scholars have labored, a jobless, fruitless, and suspiciously meaningless recovery has begun.
Perhaps that's because the so-called Great Recession wasn't truly a recession at all. What if the downturn was actually a Great Transformation instead?
Ponder, for a moment, a troublesome paradox: The noughties (2000–2009) were a lost decade for America. Net job creation, wealth creation, shareholder value creation, and median wage growth were not just marginal, but nil or negative. Today, the ranks of the long-term unemployed have exploded, and their jobs seem to have simply vanished. Yet, corporations are hoarding cash, struggling to figure out where to invest it. Yesterday's jobs, already replaced at lower and lower cost, won't pass muster and neither will yesterday's factories, fleets, brands, "products," or "outputs." So what might?
A better and very different global economy made up of novel, more beneficial industries, more purposive types of organizations, and more passionate work will bring radically more fruitful approaches to commerce, trade, and exchange. We're in the midst of a bumpy, lengthy transition from a lackluster present, to an uncertain future. The grinding gears and titanic motors of the industrial age are coming, finally, to a clattering, juddering halt. What you might call the age of wisdom is being painfully and noisily born.
In this era, it's the ability to make up for the shortcomings of the prior decades—the belching, wheezing, crashing economic engine that gave us plenty materially, but has left us spiritually, relationally, emotionally, and developmentally empty. The age of wisdom is about attaining a more authentic prosperity, one that doesn't just "grow," but that sustainably nurtures the growth of people, communities, and society.
Consider an analogy: Just as we're learning to improve yesterday's internal combustion engine, radical innovators in the age of wisdom are learning to build better economic engines and novel, disruptive institutions. What do they look like? Let's delve into history to gauge the future of organizations. First, there was what you might call the executing organization that capitalized on the industrial age factory. Success was about churning out the most commodities. Then there was what the eminent author and MIT lecturer Peter Senge famously called the Learning Organization. Success was about integrating knowledge faster than rivals. Yet, the great crisis of yesteryear that includes mass unemployment, growing distrust in business, and the evisceration of community, to name just a few, all suggest that neither learning nor doing are sufficient for 21st-century prosperity.
Enter, the Meaning Organization. Meaning Organizations create micro- and macro-structures that fuel radically meaningful work, life, and play. They're concerned first and foremost not just with making goods, or learning to make goods, but with ensuring that production, consumption, and exchange scale ever more meaningful peaks of prosperity.
Here's a brief overview of the Meaning Organization: what its competencies are, what its potential is, and why a business might want to think about becoming one.
Significance. A product or service is meaningful only when it has a positive economic impact. Impact happens when an organization creates what I call thick value or authentic economic value. We're all-too-familiar with thin value—value that's merely transferred from others rather than created anew, which is essentially an economic illusion. CDOs (collateralized debt obligations), for example, were a value transfer machine, from homeowners to banks, and their example illustrates that thin value builds a house of cards liable to come crashing down. Thick value is more than the immediate, isolated value of a thing to shareholders, managers, the tuned-out market or consumers; it's the deep, enduring, human worth of a thing to everyone.
Outcomes thinking. The wise general, it is often said, is one who can see several moves in advance. The Meaning Organization is one that has mastered deep vision: it can see several steps into the distant future, to the outcome of a product, service, or business model. Did the solution actually make people tangibly and authentically better off? It's a vital question for organizations to ask because the industrial age created negative outcomes, like Big Macs, SUVs, and McMansions. So, did the outcomes of your organization reach only a local optimum, or did it truly help people scale a higher peak? We're used to thinking that being "customer-centric" is the ideal companies should seek, but Meaning Organizations go further. They are outcomes-centric, seeking not merely to satisfy consumers, but to better them.
Harmony. From outcomes-centric thinking flows harmony. In music, harmony happens when notes and chords fit together, to create a "good" sound. For the economy, harmony is a state in which outcomes fit together, to create a common good. Companies often put financial interests first. A Meaning Organization puts people first, on an equal footing with communities, society, and tomorrow's generations. Mastering the art of positive impact means understanding the outcomes of a product, service, or business model on all. Where there is a negative impact, the organization must strive to ameliorate it, so harmony, instead of discord, is retained.
Purpose. Solely pursuing near-term profit will always yield discord by elevating the immediate rather than the sustainable interests. What harmonizes an organization is a higher purpose. What, beyond profit, knits the company, shareholders, individuals, and society together? What is the common goal that is meaningful to all and that everyone can be enriched by? What is the larger, more enduring conception of prosperity, whether it is happiness, wellness, or worthiness, that an organization can contribute toward? Those are the questions of higher purpose.
Peace. Higher purpose cannot be created through economic violence like the hardball tactics of intimidation, brinksmanship, and unfairness that are part and parcel of industrial age business as usual. The costs imposed destroy the bond with stakeholders necessary to discover, create, and renew a higher purpose for the organization, therein turning the thickest of value vanishingly thin. So Meaning Organizations must learn to become masters of economic nonviolence. They must master not just free trade, but fair trade; not just enterprise, but ethics; not just innovation, but integrity.
Love. Nonviolence, purpose, harmony, and impact can't be created by de-skilled, frightened, disengaged workers, bought and sold in bulk by the lowest bidder. Nor can they be created by calculated, soulless talent. Meaning Organizations aren't just composed of a bigger brain or cheaper muscle. Meaning is about what industrial age business always lacked: a bigger heart. The stuff of meaning can only be created, maintained, and re-created by people who are passionate enough not just to love what they do, but to do what they love.
Ambition. Yes, organizations can start by taking small steps—and many organizations should. But to tightly knit these threads together, organizations must take the quantum leap in the final analysis. Instead of focusing on how to outperform competitors in terms of operational efficiency and customer service, they need a larger ambition. How are we to change the world radically for the better? Organizations are a cause, so what is the effect they want to have?
No doubt, to some, this approach sounds a bit soft. But then again, perhaps the dictates of yesterday's dogma were suspiciously hard. We were told that greed was good, penury was the price of progress, plenitude had to be exacted from nature's bounty, and efficacy demanded the dulling of the heart and the deadening of the soul. Today, these commandments of a tired scripture seem less like apothegms for sowing a more fruitful harvest and more like the faded myths of a rusting yesterday.
Perhaps, then, like me, you believe that we must do better. This is neither easy nor, I suspect, acceptable for most organizations. But then again, revolution rarely is. We're in the midst of a historic structural transformation. Its challenge isn't merely revival, or recovery, but revolution: building the novel, unseen institutions, like Meaning Organizations, of a 21st-century economy. The age of wisdom won't happen courtesy of Ben Bernanke, Lloyd Blankfein, or Paul Krugman. Rather, it begins with you.
I've sketched the barest portrait of seven competencies here. But, it's the renegades of tomorrow who will ignite, deepen, and develop them, by staring down the complexities, difficulties, and fine-grained nuances of each. So if you yearn to be a revolutionary, it's time to get radically meaningful. Be one, become one—or contend with one.
In light of the economic crisis, companies have a historic opportunity to transform the way they do business and provide customers with more value-rich, sustainable, and meaningful products and services. With this special series on "The Meaning of Business," design mind invites business leaders from various industries and disciplines to explore new, innovative models of value creation.

ARLINGTON, Tex. -- The delayed start tonight gave Bobby Abreu's back long enough to stiffen up and he was scratched from the starting lineup.
So the new Angels lineup:

DH Hideki Matsui
LF Juan Rivera
C Mike Napoli
3B Brandon Wood
RF Reggie Willits
And the temperature has dropped 18 degrees in the past 90 minutes (from 83 to 65) thanks to the rainstorm.

My high school trig honors/pre-calc honors teacher was a long-haul truck driver "in his former life." As a result, most of our test questions involved drinking, billiards, gambling (often poker), and other side-interests that often accompany the trade. After instruction was over, we'd often kill the rest of the period playing poker.
Suffice it to say, we all learned quite a bit in that class, including the maths. He directly answered the "when am I ever going to use this crap?!" question. Although sometimes it was a bit of a stretch and he'd admit it.

stop teaching dumb kids advanced math, stop pretending that you will need algebra after HS\College (most people won't ever need it again) and stick to teaching the kids most likely to need the advanced math skills algebra?
how about that?

tagkc: "Do they not teach in Journalism 101 that we need pictures so we can determine for ourselves whether to be outraged or titillated?"
They do, but the author probably had one of those teachers who used inappropriate sexual examples and analogies.
Whereupon some prude in the class inevitably sued and the class got to skate by all year with a substitute teacher or a vice-principal taking attendance and then doing nothing more than keeping anyone from setting fire to the room.
/ Come to think of it... that might explain all sorts of problems among the mainstream media...
// poor ethics, poor writing, poor investigative skills, poor critical thought, obsession with salacious tabloid items, etc.

ManateeGag: man, I've seen porns that start that way.
There was a manga some time ago that followed a similar theme. Without the porn anyway. Was about this kid that refused to learn anything, so his parents got this pretty girl to tutor him. Basically, you'd get the problem of the chapter, the idiot kid refusing to even try to learn, the girl figuring out some way to teach him to resolve the problem (usually with lots of innuendo or her actually putting more than her modesty on the line), the kid actually learning thanks to her efforts, and then moving on to the next chapter.
I'll never forget the chapter where she tries to teach him about baseball. Can't think of many girls who would teach someone how to grip a baseball using one of their breasts. Funny people, those Japanese.

Not sure why this link wasn't OKed:
The "naked white male wearing only a hat" was identified as 53-year-old David Allen Parlier.
"I noticed he had defecated on himself," a deputy wrote in Parlier's arrest affidavit.
A hat is a covering for the head that can be worn for decoration, protection, ceremonial or other reasons.
The affidavit did not state whether Parlier's hat was a beanie, baseball cap, fedora, sombrero, Stetson, Balmoral, top hat, boonie hat, cowboy hat, fez, beret, dunce cap, porkpie hat, ten gallon hat, skull cap, straw hat, sun hat, Panama hat, military helmet or another type of hat entirely.

Monday 22 Dec 2014
By Elizabeth Jensen. Features, Issue 216, September 2010Published online: 24 August 2010
PBS has always provided a home for programming on the visual arts in the US, but a new initiative by the public service channel means there will be more of it and it will be more accessible than ever. New Orleans-based sculptural artist Thomas Mann's "Storm Cycle" collection is featured in the first virtual exhibition, "Ruin and Revival," on the new PBS Arts, a web portal that launched on 23 August (www.pbs.org/arts).
For the online exhibition, marking the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, PBS's "Craft in America" producers filmed Mann at sites that inspired his work, which is also the subject of a slideshow. Visual art is one of five areas of focus on the new site, which received funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Anne Ray Charitable Trust; the others are theatre, music, dance and film."The metaphor that we're using is to create an experience that's analogous to going to a museum where you will be able to handle the exhibits and interact with the artists," said Jason Seiken, the senior vice president of new media at PBS. Users will be able to upload their own related artwork to a Flickr page, and PBS will be inviting museums and other arts institutions to contribute content. More events like the non-profit Art:21's June live-streaming of "The Present Perfect", an on-stage discussion of collaboration and creativity with artists Laurie Simmons and Oliver Herring, are planned. Within a year, PBS plans to expand its arts initiative to broadcast, with a dedicated night of programming each week. In anticipation, some PBS series have already increased arts-related content. Next April, the documentary series "Independent Lens" will focus solely on the visual arts, with four films in four weeks, according to the series producer Lois Vossen. In addition, the first documentary film on the life of William S. Burroughs, which will appear in US cinemas this autumn, has been slated to air on PBS in May.The surfeit of visual arts films this season was a happy coincidence of timing, Vossen said, but given the strong audience response to last season's "Herb and Dorothy," about a postal clerk and a librarian who amassed a major contemporary art collection, Vossen said she didn't "see it as a one-time trend".This article also appears in our September print edition

Defending champions Italy have decided to rest their top players for the Fed Cup first round match against the United States in Cleveland next month.
Tennis Betting
Bet £5 Get £20 Free
Sara Errani, Roberta Vinci, Flavia Pennetta and Francesca Schiavone have all asked the Italian federation if they can sit out the contest on February 8-9.
Instead, Italy captain Corrado Barazzutti is set to select Camila Giorgi, Karin Knapp, Nastassja Burnett and Alice Matteucci to face the Americans.
The top players cited a travel schedule that over 16 days would have taken them from the Australian Open to the Open GDF Suez in Paris, then Cleveland, then to the Qatar Total Open.
Errani and Vinci won the Australian Open doubles title Friday.
Barazzutti, who will announce her team on Wednesday, said: "We decided to accept the request of our veterans."

Authorities in Thailand have detained nine Thai soldiers on suspicion surrounding the deaths of 13 Chinese sailors on the Mekong river earlier this month.
Lieutenant General Wut Liptapanlop told the AFP news agency, the soldiers, thought to be linked to a Myanmar drug kingpin, surrendered on Friday in the Northern Chiang Rai province.
Liptapanlop declined requests for further details citing the ongoing investigation.A full investigation into the October 5 deadly raid of two Chinese vessles has been promised by Priewpan Damapong, the Thai national police chief.
"Their actions have nothing to do with the Thai army." said Damapong.
Chinese responseChina's vice minister of public security, Zhang Xinfeng, has said the Thai soldiers were acting on the order of local tycoons and that the killings were not as a result of Thai government or military commands.Zhang Xinfeng also said "a Chinese expert team on criminal investigation and forensic science will stay on to assist Thai police." The victims who were aboard the two cargo ships were hijacked and shot dead by unidentified gunmen earlier this month.
The bodies were later found in the Mekong in northern Thailand.

Many complain that after a century of great results chiropractic should be more fully accepted by now. These same chiropractors use this observation to advance their pet notion of the one thing that would be needed to permit chiropractic to finally reach the tipping point.
Their mistake is thinking that it's just one thing that stands in the way.
Like Curly.
In case you missed it, actor Jack Palance was the crusty cowpoke Curly in the 1991 comedy City Slickers. Here's the dialogue from the scene in which Mitch (played by Billy Crystal) learns about the one thing:
Curly: Do you know what the secret of life is?
Curly: This. [holds up one finger]
Mitch: Your finger?
Curly: One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and the rest don't mean shit.
Mitch: But what is the "one thing?"
Curly: [smiles] That's what you have to find out.
We humans are always on the lookout for the "one thing." But it's rarely one thing. What has conspired to prevent chiropractic from flourishing, or your practice from thriving, isn't one thing. Yet, many will bang their "one-thing" drum (which usually involves sending them money), claiming that resolving that one thing practice nirvana will result.
Here are some popular one-thing drums. "Fix this," claims the drummer, "and chiropractic will finally assume its rightful place."
The-10-different-recommendations-from-10-different-chiropractors drum.
The-lack-of-so-called-"scientific"-research-proving-chiropractic drum.
The-questionable-tactics-of-practice-management-coaches drum.
The-surrogate-testing-and-unproven,-experimental-techniques drum.
The-annual-care-plans-or-let's-make-a-deal-fee-policy drum.
The-raising-requirements-for-admission-into-chiropractic-college drum.
The-high-cost-of-a-chiropractic-education-and-the-resulting-debt drum.
Oh, and don't forget the classic:
The-if-I-just-had-enough-new-patients-my-problems-would-be-over drum.
While these may be annoying, even unfortunate, they hardly rise to the "one thing" that promises the breakthroughs so many hope for. In fact, they are largely symptoms of far more fundamental issues. What has conspired against chiropractic from reaching societal authority and acceptance is largely out of anyone's direct control:
The cultural influence of mechanism. We live in a culture that minimizes the spiritual and celebrates the physical. In truth, we are much more than a collection of "parts," chemical reactions and a limited number of cellular replications!
Dogmatism among the earliest leaders. Without the strident beliefs and flamboyant personalities of the past, chiropractic probably wouldn't have even made it this far. Whether you're embarrassed by D.D. and B. J., or you revere them, without them, the chiropractic you enjoy wouldn't even exist.
AMA boycott and the committee on quackery. The well was poisoned long before most of today's chiropractors were even born. Reversing this bias, if even possible, will probably take at least another generation.
Drug advertising in the media. We live in a drug culture. The side effects and deaths caused by the pharmaceutical cartel is seen as "just the cost of doing business." If the deaths-by-drugs figures were watched as carefully as the death toll in Iraq, things would be different.
Recipients of third party reimbursement. Being invited to "sit at the adult's table" was wonderfully validating. Unfortunately, by following the money chiropractors gave up being whole-body health specialists in favor of becoming a medical subspecialty focused on back pain. Oops!
Erosion of third party reimbursement. Now, with the brokenness of the symptom-treating mentality of "health" care more pronounced, turns out back pain doesn't rise to the threshold of a catastrophic health problem warranting reimbursement. Double oops!
The inconvenience of chiropractic. Asking patients to interrupt their lives and show up in your office is far less convenient than reaching into a purse and popping a prescription every so often.
There are probably others. Does that mean the situation is hopeless? Of course not. There are issues that members of the profession can address that could make a difference. Again, none of them by themselves will turn the tide, but with time, taken together, each could help:
Chiropractic as nerves rather than bones. Since bones are static structures, malpositioned bones are merely symptoms. Fascinating, but not that significant. Make chiropractic about the nervous system and watch things turn around.
Wanting to be accepted by the medical community. Fitting in, being liked and craving acceptance is so junior high. Be proud that you're not part of the "in" crowd responsible for killing hundreds of people every day and being the third largest cause of preventable death.
Pervasiveness of disembodiment. Most people cannot "hear" their body until it literally screams with symptoms. Our culture is the manifestation of Descartes' suggestion that the mind can be detached from the body. Helping patients reconnect would be a valuable public service.
Chiropractors ignoring chemical and emotional stressors. Most chiropractors focus on the physical stressors that produce the survival strategy we call subluxation. Most look past the far more pervasive chemical and emotional causes of subluxation.
Chiropractic colleges lacking endowments. Have you included your alma mater in your estate planning? Only when chiropractic colleges have some financial security will they be able to shun the path of least resistance, pandering for tuition dollars.
Ineffective patient teaching rather than patient education. I've written extensively about this for years. Most chiropractors tell rather than ask and call it patient education. It doesn't work. Never has.
Focusing on new patients rather than referrals and reactivations. Falling for the trap of treating episodes of back pain, many chiropractors (and their patient's) think of chiropractic care is a "diet" rather than a lifestyle. It shows up as a getting-new-patients problem. But it's actually a patient-keeping problem.
It's not one thing. It's much more complex than that. However, take heart in the words of Mahatma Gandhi: "Be the change you want to see in the world." One man. One simple idea. One thing.

Constructing European Intellectual Property
Achievements and New Perspectives
Edited by Christophe Geiger, Associate Professor, Director General and Director of the Research Department, Centre for International Intellectual Property Studies (CEIPI), University of Strasbourg, France
Hardback $217.00 on-line price $195.30
Series: European Intellectual Property Institutes Network series
'It is no longer possible to practice, teach, or study purely domestic intellectual property law within Europe. European intellectual property norms now structure protection throughout the continent (and even beyond). Paradoxically, what might seem as a simplification of legal rules has created a maze of new complexities – substantive, institutional and methodological. This collection by some of the leading scholars in European IP manages to capture that complexity without sacrificing clarity. Canvassing the entire field with a rich array of contributions, the book both highlights the roots of European IP law and asks important fundamental questions about where it is going. One can only hope that it is read by anyone with a hand in the future development of European IP law.'

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The Salvation Army was helping to ring in the holiday spirit Friday. The annual bell sale kicked off the giving season at this year's Clinton Square holiday tree lighting.
The public could give a dollar donation or more to the cause for an iconic Salvation Army bell.
"Well we have about 30 to 40 volunteers here. So we have kettles on every corner. And we hope to sell a couple thousand bells here tonight," said Greg Meitus, Salvation Army Public Relations and Marketing Manager.
Over the last five years, more than 14,000 families and 35,000 children have benefitted from the Salvation Army during the holiday season.

Do thermogenics like Hydroxycut Max and Quick Trim work well to help boost metabolism and lose the last 10 or 15 pounds?
- Q: Do thermogenics like Hydroxycut Max and Quick Trim work well if I am trying to lose 10 to 15 pounds? This last little bit of weight is sticking to me and am hoping to find something to give my metabolism the extra boost it needs to drop the extra weight.
- A: A well balanced diet and exercise are the best, and safest, way to lose weight. It is the continual lifestyle that sustains the weight loss. Thermogenics work by increasing body temperature, which increase calories burned. Studies show that they are effective at weight loss on a short term basis. However, they are not recommended for long term use. Over time, a tolerance can build up and some cases of dependence have been reported .

Svetlana Alliluyeva
Alliluyeva, Svetlana (svyĕtläˈnä äl-lĕlōˈyəvə) [key], 1926–, only daughter of the Soviet Communist leader Joseph Stalin and his second wife, Nadezhda Alliluyeva. Originally Svetlana Stalina, she took her mother's surname after her father's death (1953), and was a teacher and translator in the Soviet Union. In 1966, while returning her third husband's ashes to his native India, she defected to the West; she left a grown son and daughter from earlier marriages behind in the USSR. She settled in the United States in 1967, and published a memoir, Twenty Letters to a Friend (1967), and Only One Year (1969). In 1970 she married an American architect, William W. Peters, and afterwards used the name Lana Peters; they had a daughter but divorced in 1973. Now a U.S. citizen, she returned to the Soviet Union in 1984 and renounced her defection, but she left again in 1986 and subsequently lived in the United States and Europe.

Robin's Healthy Take: Fast, Fiery and Under $5by Robin Miller in Robin's Healthy Take, February 17, 2011
Robin cooked up these healthy, budget-friendly recipes this morning on the Today Show!
When I was deciding what recipes to cook for my Today Show appearance, the producer suggested something "fast and fiery." Since fast dishes are my mantra (Quick Fix Meals, anyone?) and making spicy dishes is simple, I challenged myself by making each dish for $5 or less. Not $5 per person, but five smackers each for a fabulous, four-serving main dish, side dish and dessert.
Even better, the ingredient lists are super-short and each dish comes together in a flash. Here's how you make this meal for dinner tonight.
Spicy Fettuccine Alfredo
Serves 4
1 pound fettuccine
2 cups low-fat or fat-free milk
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons extra-spicy seasoning blend
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cook the fettuccine according to package directions. Meanwhile, whisk together the milk, egg yolk and seasoning blend in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Stir in drained fettuccine and Parmesan cheese. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts. Season to taste with salt and freshly-ground pepper.
Garlic Parmesan Broiled Tomatoes
Serves 4
4 beefsteak or other vine-ripened tomatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
8 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Preheat broiler. Halve tomatoes crosswise (through the equator) and place flesh-side up on a baking sheet. Brush tops with olive oil and season with salt and freshly-ground pepper. Combine Parmesan cheese and garlic powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the mixture on each tomato half. Broil for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the tomatoes soften. Sprinkle with chopped parsley just before serving.
Coconut Macaroons
Makes 24 cookies
2/3 cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1 egg white
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 14-ounce bag shredded sweetened coconut (about 3 1/2 cups)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Whisk together sweetened condensed milk, egg white, vanilla and salt. Fold in the coconut until well-incorporated. Drop by tablespoonful onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
