text: January 3, 2007 Representative Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House of Representatives Senator Harry Reid Senate Majority Leader Representative David Obey Chairman House Appropriations Committee Senator Robert C. Byrd Chairman Senate Appropriations Committee Dear Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader Reid, and Chairmen Obey and Byrd: You recently announced your plans to complete work on the FY 2007 Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill by passing a year-long continuing resolution. We applaud your stated intent to complete this process as quickly as possible and in a bipartisan manner. As you work to complete the FY 2007 bill, we urge you to reiterate your collective support from last year by providing no less then $7 billion above the President's request for these urgent national priorities. In March of last year, a bipartisan group of 73 Senators, including every Democrat, voted for the Specter-Harkin amendment to the budget resolution to provide an additional $7 billion above the Presidents budget request for a broad range of programs and services administered by the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education. Likewise, several Members of the House of Representatives, including the entire incoming House Democratic leadership team and the Democratic leadership of the House Appropriations Committee have repeatedly spoken out in support of providing the additional $7 billion and against the Presidents budget for these programs. While efforts led by now-Chairman Obey and Representative DeLauro to add the necessary funding above the Presidents request failed in both the House Budget and Appropriations Committees, Section 603(b) of the House Budget Resolution does recognize the need to increase funding for the Labor-HHS-Education bill by $7 billion above the Presidents budget. A full year continuing resolution for FY 2007 at the FY 2006 levels would leave these critical programs $2 billion short of the goal established by the full Senate when it adopted the Specter-Harkin budget amendment as well as the commitment made by the House leadership to significantly increase funding for these urgent priorities. Further, failure to meet these commitments would result in total funding for these programs $2 billion below the FY 2005 level. Millions of American families and students rely on the vital services and assistance funded through the Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill. We feel strongly that the funding provided in this bill reflects an investment in the human infrastructure and the values of our nation and its future. Given the negative funding trend for these critical services and programs over the past few years, we believe there is urgent need for the new Congressional leaders to support and act on. As the new Congress begins full consideration of the FY 2008 budget, establishing a strong baseline for health, education and other vital programs in the FY 2007 Labor-HHS-Education bill is essential to getting the nation back on track when it comes to some of the most important domestic spending priorities. Over the past year, you have spoken out strongly about your commitment to funding health, education, and other vital programs. Now you have to the opportunity to act on that commitment. We the undersigned urge you to provide an additional $2 billion to these urgent priorities in the final FY 2007 continuing resolution above the FY 2006 levels, consistent with the Senate budget amendment and the promise made in the House budget resolution. Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to working with you to ensure adequate resources are available to meet these urgent priorities.

Sandi Jackson calls media outside her fund-raiser 'jackals'
BY NATASHA KORECKI Political Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com September 25, 2012 10:54PM
Sandi Jackson, 7th ward alderman, arrives at Park 52 for her birthday celebration on Tuesday, September 25, 2012 in Chicago . | Richard A. Chapman~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: September 26, 2012 12:00AM
Ald. Sandi Jackson (7th) referred to the media as "jackals" at a fund-raising event Tuesday night and said her husband was at home and doing well.
"The jackals are outside. Let them stay outside," she shouted into a microphone, referring to the press staked outside a birthday fund-raising bash. "We are family in here . . . it's because of you all that I keep it going on."
Jackson, who could be heard outside Park 52 restaurant, said if she were wearing more makeup lately it was a sign: "this girl is under pressure."
She thanked supporters for helping her deal with the issues that had befallen her family of late.
"My husband is at home. He is feeling better," she said to applause.
One TV reporter was allowed into the event. Jackson was still at the event late Tuesday.
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., the alderman's husband, has been on leave from Congress since June. He was diagnosed with bipolar depression.
Sandi Jackson celebrated her birthday singing into the microphone and dancing with guests as "Let's Get it Started" blasted over the speakers.
According to people who attended the private event that cost up to $5,000 a ticket, about 200 people filled the restaurant.

Omiros Hotel has been a family owned hotel since 1963. Omiros embodies the epitome of Greek hospitality, offering breathtaking views, close proximity to the beach, and great service. Nestled on a cliff above the old port of Mykonos, Omiros Hotel has been offering the best view of Mykonos Town since its inception.
The historical Omiros building emulates ancient Cycladic architectural designs inspired by the colours of nature such as yellow for the sun, green for the flora and blue for the sea, creating a minimal style environment of soothing colours emitting positive energy. Its beauty and simplicity creates a calming atmosphere, which is further enhanced by the unique and breathtaking views of Mykonos Town and the blue waters of the Aegean Sea.
Omiros Hotel offers the best location among Mykonos hotels as it is only a 5 min. walk away from Mykonos Town, however it nestles on the very quiet, hilly area of Tagoo, providing visitors with rare breathtaking views of Mykonos Town and the old port. The old and the new port are just a short drive away from the hotel that take care of your free pick up and drop off, as well as for the airport which is 4 km. away.

Grey's Anatomy Review: Looking Grimby Courtney Morrison at . Comments
Did that just really happen?
Okay, let's back up a few minutes and discuss "Migration" - and not just the crazy ending we just witnessed.
Webber Works It. I have always been a big fan of Richard. He's had such a presence throughout this series, almost like a father figure to all of these doctors, not just Meredith. This hour had Webber helping Alex get everything he wants. And what he wants is Johns Hopkins. It's pretty great to see the underdog, or evil spawn as Cristina says, come out on top. He has worked hard for it and deserves it.
Seattle Grace is looking like it might be less crowded next year...
Can You Go Back? Cristina was weighing her decision and taking into account all of her options. Mer wants her BFF close to her but Yang is set on leaving. After an old school on call room hook up with Owen, Cristina makes the decision to head to the Mayo Clinic. Looks like these two are officially done.
You Should Make The Decision With Your Husband. Meredith wants Seattle, Derek wants Harvard. Grey finally consulted with her husband instead of her "person,: and the two are heading off to Boston. Derek will become the head of Neuro at Harvard.
Starting Over. Who knew crossword puzzles could be so much fun? Ben decided to pop the question to Bossy Bailey before getting the news of a job offer 1,000 miles away. It took so long for Bailey to get her groove back, she can't lose the adorable Ben. I won't have it!
Besides, who do these docs think they all are leaving Seattle? Not cool!
Lonely. The only doc not heading somewhere for a better job is poor Kepner. Girl failed her boards, got her job offers pulled and even lost her current gig at SGH. How awkward was the firing between her and Owen?
April headed over to the bar to drink her sorrows away and freak out on Jackson before running out. Are we losing April, too?
Is Slexie Coming Back? After dropping the L-bomb on Mark last episode, Lexie used her few minutes of screen time to act awkward. Mark is torn between Julia, who can give him everything he wants, or Lexie who he loves.
Who should he choose? If I was making the call, Lexie would be the winner. You hear that, Shonda?
OMFG. When I glanced at the clock, I couldn't believe the episode was just about over. I thought to myself: pretty solid. It advanced the plot for the finale. Nothing too surprising. Yeah, I was totally wrong.
In true Grey's Anatomy fashion, the writers decided to shake everything up and keep us impatiently waiting until next week's season finale. Most of the main characters boarded a small plane to head to Boise for a conjoined twin operation. Who would have thought that you would blink and the plane would be crashed? Definitely not me!
People can say that GA has fallen off over the past few seasons. But if there is one thing this show does right, it is finales. They kill it every time - pun intended! (Sorry, I had to.)
So what is going to happen to our favorite doctors? Will they all survive? Will the latest Grey's Anatomy news be any indication?
After Thoughts:
- Callie and Arizona's scenes were short and sweet. Maybe if some of our docs leave, these two will finally get some more screen time.
- We finally got a glimpse of the Mer and Der dream house!
- How hilarious was Cristian pretending to be April on the phone? The voice was perfect.
- Who would have thought that Ben proposing to Bailey would not be the biggest news to come out of this hour?
Let's discuss it. Will Mark and Lexie get back together? Are all of the doctors really going to leave Seattle? Are Yang and Hunt done? This is all under the assumption they survive the plane crash!
One week until the season finale. Make your predictions now and hit up the comments to let us know what you thought of "Migration." Can you wait until next week? I know I can't! Don't forget to check out the Grey's Anatomy quotes page for the best from this episode and the Grey's Anatomy Round Table for the staff's thoughts on what's to come for the rest of Season Eight.
Bottom line.....could be almost anyone and I can't wait to find out who and how.
Love Grey's! All this speculation proves the writers are masterful. We know we will lose a beloved character and we're pretty confident about who is safe but we still have so much to choose from. Genius. A case can be made for any number of characters which leaves us spinning and wanting more. My first thought was Lexie because she has not had much of a role this season (similar to George) but unless the actor wants out of her contract...I don't see it happening due to the Slexie fan base. If it were Lexie, then Kepner could take her place. If it were Arizona then Alex would likely take her place on staff. I think it will be a surprise and likely no one on the plane. I think it's a red herring. Someone mentioned Weber but I'm not sure what the impact on the rest would be. Would Mer feel responsible for his wife? Would they all stay to acknowledge his impact on their lives and the desire to carry on? If it's Teddy then Cristina will likely stay. If it's Derek then Mer will stay and I believe Cristina would stay with her. Could be almost anyone and I can't wait to find out who and how.
Then ending was one of the least creative event of GA.
I'm getting to the point that I don't care who stays or goes. The whining and bickering is getting old. Maybe it is time that we say good bye.
Stupid! Beyond Stupid! I can't believe how bad this show has gotten, besides how bad the wrighting is, way past the time to pull the plug, SERIOUSLY!
I think its going to be Owen! I read an interview with shonda rhymes where she said, " The final episode is dark. And the way it's going to work — here's a thing I can tell you: There are some people who don't even know the dark thing is going on for the entirety of the episode. So it's like two worlds happening. There's this dark world and there's the regular world of our people happening. And I don't mean worlds. I don't want people to think we're doing something weird. There are two locations. One where things are happening, and one location where everything is moving along as usual." She is trying to distract us with the crash. Owen is going to kill himself being an army vet and depressed over yang. Derek will have to take over as chief and I just can't figure out why yang would stay then...
or its lexie :( i would DIE!
i want next week to come and go i want to see more greys anatomy. I know that all the original are back its already been comfermed I think it can either be lexi or arizona. I cant say which because if arizona die then alex will step in her place but i dont know how that affects other characters though only alex will have a reason. If lexi dies then mer will stay so will derek and christina will stay to be her 2nd person. Alex will stay out of guilt and that is good. Derek Wont die so stop saying that
My neighbor was in the Patrick Dempsey cancer wing in April. She and her boyfriend asked him if he was staying with Grey's Anatomy, and he said no, he was leaving to do movies because he could make more money. That was less than 3 weeks ago. I think that even thou they say he signed a contract, that he will be the major death on the program. The main characters were the only ones up to sign a new contract, everyone else is still under contract. Of course he could have changed his mind. We'll just have to wait and see.
Faith are you from upstate ny??
I think it is going to be Arizona. In this episode she made Torez promise to not leave her. I think that Torez will be dealing with hatred towards Korev. He will probably step up in Arizona's place. I think that Bailey will decide to follow Ben to UCLA
think anyone is safe. If its an original cast member its derick. if its not an original cast member its arizona

Home > Degree Programs > Doctoral Programs > PhD in Political Economy & Government
The PhD in Political Economy and Government (PEG) Program is designed for students and scholars to explore and examine the impact of politics on economic processes and outcomes, and the reciprocal influence of economic conditions on political life.
The program equips students for academic or policymaking careers that demand strong backgrounds in economics and political science. It is particularly suitable for students whose intellectual interests are not met by studying economics, political science, or public policy alone.
Recently, our students have been focusing their research in areas such as environmental resource policies, institutional transition and reform, international political economy, political development, political and economic institutions, and social policy.
Students work with their faculty advisors to design a two-year curriculum that is geared towards their academic interests and pursuits, while also fulfilling the core requirements of their declared track in either economics or political science.
Admission to the PhD in Political Economy and Government Program is competitive. Of the 150 to 200 applications received each year, no more than five students are admitted to the program.
Where our PEG PhD graduates go after HKS
Our recent PhD in Political Economy and Government graduates have gone on to take academic positions at Columbia University, Dartmouth College, London School of Economics and Political Science, Stanford University, Yale University, and other top academic institutions.
Others have developed analyst or policy careers at the Federal Reserve Bank, World Bank, nongovernmental organizations, and in the private sector.
View a complete list of dissertations written by PEG PhD candidates from 1973 to 2013.

Advertising is a creative field just like design, so it would only make sense that an Ad agency would harbor right brained staff and house them in a just as creative, if not more inspiring office for their 9 to 5 tasks. M Moser Associates helped Ogilvy & Mather Advertising to achieve a fun and almost whimsical work environment within the confines of their proposed space.
The two office floors combine both collaborative and segregated areas for their employees to work. Wood tones and a giant multi-purpose area for impromptu meetings, announcements and even quiet reading time. The woodsy tones make the space all the more inviting and lend some stress relief to an already busy world.

The Colic Crisis
My son was Colic until he was twelve months old, I remember everyone telling me it will be over in two months, three months, four months-well they were very wrong! It took me months to find all the information that finally brought a little comfort to my little boy. I went on the internet, read books, read articles and called friends. I promised myself that if I ever had the chance to share these remedies I would because there is JUST NOT ENOUGH information on Colic Crisis!
· Mylecon Drops: NO GENERIC-give the baby these drops before and after meals if needed.
· If you are a breast feeding mother-cut out ALL gassy foods and cut down on the dairy intake and NO CAFEINE (that one almost killed me).
· Nutramigen (Enfamil) formula (very expensive but so worth it) Helps the baby digest the formula better.
· Warm compresses on the babies stomach, don't be afraid to put (a little) pressure on their belly as you rub in a circular motion.
· MAKE SURE the baby is always burped well-every one ounce if you can get it out if not every two is ok.
· SWADLE: put a receiving blanket down (triangular shape) rap on side across the baby and tuck it in, wrap other side and tuck it in (it can be a little tight) Just like when they are first born in the hospital.
· Lay the baby (ALWAYS ATTENDED) on his/hers belly on a pillow make the pillow into a log roll, gently rub and tap the babies back. Make sure their head is turned right or left. Gently sooth them with your voice as you rub. You can swaddle the baby and put them on the roll also.
· Johnson and Johnson Chamomile Soothing Bath: it's the best puts the baby right into rest mode.
· As often as possible do exercises with the baby-roll their legs in circular motion to push out some of the gas.
· Last but not least don't be Afraid to PRAY! Pray over the baby and the calm and peace of the lord will also help you get through.
I hope these tips help all the mothers out there going through this. May God bless you and if you have any questions feel free to e-mail me.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

While nursing I could not eat any beef, chocolate, garlic or onions, it was very clear that these things bothered him. I also had to stay away from box prepared meals, they have so many chemicals.

Watch Richard Curtis's Brilliantly Funny First Film 'Dead On Time'Features By Christopher Campbell on November 6, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
This is another edition of Short Starts, where we present a weekly short film(s) from the start of a filmmaker or actor's career. He's only directed three films, including the new sci-fi rom-com About Time, but Richard Curtis has been a well-known screenwriter for a few decades. When we think of a Curtis movie, we don't just consider his popular directorial debut, Love Actually (and nobody here thinks of Pirate Radio, aka The Boat That Rocked). We think of Notting Hill and Four Weddings and a Funeral, which earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay. He also wrote The Girl in the Cafe and one of the best episodes of Doctor Who ("Vincent and the Doctor"), and he co-scripted Bridget Jones's Diary and its sequel, as well as War Horse. Plus he co-created Blackadder and Mr. Bean, both with regular collaborator Rowan Atkinson. Curtis and Atkinson met at Oxford through the famed Experimental Theatre Club before breaking out as members of the legendary Oxford Revue. Quickly they got into radio and TV comedy, and while they were beginning work on the first series of Blackadder (then The Black Adder) they also made their first film together, Dead On Time. Directed by Lyndall Hobbs (who went on to direct Back to the Beach and no films since), it's a very smart and very funny take on an easy, familiar premise with an easy, familiar endpoint. Atkinson plays a man who is told he has only half an hour to […]
Trailer for Vibrator Invention Film 'Hysteria' Creates BuzzMovie News By Scott Beggs on August 16, 2011 | Comments (2)
Stop groaning at that headline and start moaning along with this clever, mildly silly trailer for Hysteria. Based on the historical invention of the vibrator, the film boasts Felicity Jones, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Hugh Dancy, Rupert Everett, Jonathan Pryce and a bunch of women shaking their thighs in ecstasy. Seriously. There are a lot of shots of women coming in this thing. Beyond that, it has the usual flair that any period piece might aspire to. The costuming, the set work, the language. It's all there along with some cheeky humor and what looks like a romantic foundation the focuses on taming a shrew. Plug in, and check it out for yourself:
'Hysteria' Drives Maggie Gyllenhaal to Loving the VibratorIn Development By Scott Beggs on August 23, 2010 | Comments (7)
After months and months of racking my brain over it, a film project has finally pointed out what was missing from He's Just Not That Into You and Valentine's Day: a bunch of women climaxing and the invention of the vibrator. Thankfully, Maggie Gyllenhaal has signed on for just such a romantic comedy project where she'll play daughter to a doctor (Jonathan Pryce) who helps insane, crazed, hysterical (read: slightly irritated) women of the sexy Victorian age by placing a vibrating massage tool where their Victorian's Secret should cover. Uncover the details of Hysteria.
Culture Warrior: Playing it StraightCulture Warrior By Landon Palmer on May 4, 2010 | Comments (5)
There's a scene (video below) midway through the Doris Day-Rock Hudson romantic comedy Pillow Talk (1959) that has always fascinated me. Through the benefit of hindsight, it's impossible to watch the scene as it was viewed contemporaneous to its release.

Keep track of your water usage, temperature with the Faucet Buddy
Are you a water waster? It's certainly possible, but how are you to know exactly how much water you use when you do things like washing the dishes or brushing your teeth? All you can do is make a guesstimate, and that's not all that accurate.
More accurate? The Faucet Buddy. It's a faucet that counts exactly how much water you use, letting you know just how wasteful you really are. It also lets you pinpoint just how hot the water is, so you don't burn yourself sticking your hand into 120-degree water without realizing it. It's just a concept for now, but if it gets made you can look forward to keeping both the earth and your hands just a little bit safer.

So I looked at my journal and decided two things:a) I do not like the color, too depressingb) I do not like the theme of it, too depressing and upsettingSo, I have decided to change the color and the theme. I think this will be my spiritual journal. I am a very spiritual person and it would be good to record all that has happened to me spiritually and all that good stuff that goes along with it. My views, beliefs, feelings, progress, anything and everything. Of course, this still may change, but we shall see.I did write an entry, put it on private though, and it did help in unleashing my anger. I dunno, just having a journal soley on anger and upsetting events is not cool, it helps to let it out, but it put a negetive aspect to everything and is depressing once re-read. I should learn to let go and forget it all, not remember it. I should be a teacher or something. Actually, thats a spiritual type idea right there. To let go and let the positive in. This journal just might be about feelings and spirituality, and life, even though I'm not trying to be a teacher er nothing. Just tryin to bring the positive in my life. I dunno, I feel all preisty now. heh. We shall see.
Hello blurty.com. T'is my first entry. I have one deadjournal where I update frequently, about anything and everything that goes on in my life. I have one wooho journal that is strictly for my poems I write, anything I write, music of anysort, and quiz results that have anything to do with art, writing, or music. Now this journal, I am thinkin, might be my anger journal. I take anger management and this might be the place to totally unleash my anger in all sorts of way. Pictures, poems, entries, anything and everything. I dunno if thats what I am going to make it, but so far, it sounds good. But that is the thought, it is not definate. We shall see. But, hello anyways. I am Stephanie.

Law enforcement sources say the off-duty police officer accused of a DWI that killed a Bronx woman had a blood alcohol level of .21.
That's two and a half times the legal limit.
Kevin Spellman, 42, is charged with vehicular manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide and driving while intoxicated.
It took police more than five hours to draw his blood after he refused a Breathalyzer test after the crash, which happened Friday morning on Kingsbridge Avenue.
Meanwhile, a viewing was held Monday for the victim, Drana Nikac, 67.
Her body will now be flown to Albania for burial.
In the wake of this and another recent deadly accident involving a police officer, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly is ordering an investigation into city procedure involving drug and alcohol tests.
Currently, the law requires police to obtain a warrant for a mandatory test which can take hours.
"We are going to look at that process to see if it can be accelerated for all DWI with serious injury arrests. And that's ongoing now. We met. The first committee meeting was this morning and hopefully we'll have some results in the near term," Kelly said.
This is the second time in recent weeks a city police officer has been accused of killing a pedestrian while driving drunk.
Officer Andrew Kelly faces similar charges in a deadly accident in Brooklyn.

Clearly Sheer for Beach & Pool has a misleading name, because in truth sunscreen is a skin care staple that should be applied to all areas of exposed skin every day, not just when you're at the beach or lounging poolside. Sun damage is really about daylight damage from ultraviolet (UV) light. The sun need not be shining in order for UV rays to penetrate and stealthily damage skin, so daily sun protection is about far more than sunny days by the water!
This spray-on, water-resistant sunscreen is easy to use and feels wonderfully light due to the amount of alcohol and dry-finish solvents it contains. Unfortunately, the alcohol presents a risk of irritation and free-radical damage, so despite this sunscreen providing broad-spectrum protection, it's not the ideal choice. Rather than rely on this as your sole sunscreen, it's best to use this to reapply sunscreen after sweating or toweling off. That means at home, you can apply a sunscreen lotion or cream (which don't contain alcohol) and then tote this spray for reapplications without needing to spend time rubbing in more cream or lotion.
Coppertone added a couple of vitamin-based antioxidants, which is great—but we wish the fragrance this contained wasn't so strong and lingering! This is not a sunscreen for sensitive skin; it's best for oily skin and is well-suited to breakout-prone skin.
Broad Spectrum SPF 50; Helps Leave Skin Soft & Smooth; Fast Absorbing; Water Resistant (80 Minutes); Refreshing, Clean Scent; Won't Clog Pores; Won't Cause Breakouts; Feels Sheer & Light on Skin
Active Ingredients: Avobenzone 3%, Homosalate 10%, Octisalate 4.5%, Octocrylene 9%, Oxybenzone 2%; Inactive Ingredients: SD Alcohol 40-B (40.3% v/v), Isobutane, Isohexadecane, Isododecane, Dimethicone, VA/Butyl Maleate/Isobornyl Acrylate Copolymer, C13-15 Alkane, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Ascorbyl Palmitate, Fragrance
This ubiquitous sun-care line has been around for over sixty years and is almost as synonymous with sunscreen as Kleenex is with facial tissue. Yet despite their longstanding history, there is something wanton about a corporation so recognized as a sunscreen manufacturer selling such an abundance of pathetically formulated sunscreens. Although more Coppertone sunscreens than ever include avobenzone or zinc oxide for UVA protection, most of them are still lacking—making this a line to shop very carefully. Ironically, Coppertone includes a fair amount of accurate, sun-smart information on their Web site—but their products aren't following the same advice! For example, they recommend you apply a sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher whenever you go outdoors—but then they sell several sunscreens with SPF ratings well below that. That's sort of like your personal trainer puffing on a cigarette while encouraging you to go another ten minutes on the treadmill. They also correctly advise consumers to reapply sunscreen after swimming, perspiring, or toweling off, yet sell products they claim are waterproof and "ultra sweatproof." Don't they realize that is likely to be interpreted by most people as 'one application and you're good to go no matter what outdoor activity is planned'? Regardless of the type of tenacious claim made, all sunscreens need to be reapplied at regular intervals if you are swimming or engaged in strenuous physical activity.
Coppertone also boasts that its sunscreens for kids are the ones recommended most by pediatricians. If that's true, and your child's pediatrician recommends this brand without being specific as to which sunscreen to choose and which to avoid, be sure you find another pediatrician right away. It would mean your child's doctor doesn't know about the cumulative damage from UVA rays, andwe would worry about what else he or she wasn't up to date on.

In our latest Insight, Particle physicist Beatriz Gato-Rivera writes: "I want to explore the intriguing possibility of whether we could be immersed in a large civilization without being aware of it? Do mountain gorillas know that their 'civilization' is embedded in a larger 'civilization' corresponding to a much more evolved and intelligent species than themselves?? SETI could really be SETPI: the search for extraterrestrial primitive intelligence, because only primitive civilizations would allow themselves to be detected by external observers."

My paladin is halfway to 76 now, and it seemed like a good time to start browsing the various Wrath factions and the rewards they offer. Indeed, a good idea, since I spotted two walrus people rewards available at level 76, with honoured reputation. Since I've been a friend to the Walrus for quite some time, I already am honoured, so this will be a quick flight point off my next ding for a serious chest upgrade both for my grinding and my tanking sets. Nice. Beyond that, the Kalu'ak offer items which are more or less in-character, including leatherworking recipes, a combat fishing pole, a harpoon… So far so good.
Next, for my paladin, I'm looking up Argent Crusade. Now here's a band of historical paladins all united in the goal of exterminating the undead hordes of the Scourge, so I'm assuming that I'll find some equipment helping a paladin to do just that. Either some kit to kick some righteous butt as a Retribution paladin or spell power plate. And still good, that's exactly what you can find, at various reputation levels.
So we go to the doomed counterpart, the Knights of the Ebon Blade, the DK's faction. Here you should find tanking and DPS plate and weaponry for the Death Knight (and the Retribution paladin), right? Err… no, not really. There's only one cloak offered there, a spell power cloak. Which does jack for Death Knights. No other accessories (jewelry) available there, dead people don't need no stinking rings. One tanking plate piece, one DPS plate piece. No suitable 2-H Rune weapon, the only 2H on offer is itemized ass-backwards for DKs (any plate-wearer but fury warriors if I understand fury itemization, which I might not). It actually looks at first sight like a decent weapon for… a hunter.
Patterns? Leatherworking, Jewelcrafting and… the Revered pattern is for, wait for it, tailoring. A soulbag for warlocks, which almost makes sense for the faction. Steptoe, I apologize, looks like combat knitting isn't out of character for Death Knights after all.
So let's look up the magicians of the Kirin Tor. You'd expect gear more focused towards the arcane arts, wouldn't you? Well, if you need a spellcasting cloak, you'll find one there. There's also a spell dagger, and at exalted, some nice robes for the clothies. But if you're a mage, priest or warlock hoping the Dalaran mageocraty will help you beyond these three elements, tough luck. The rest of the kit appears to cater mostly to the Elemental or Enhancement shammies, the feral droods and oh, there's also a rogue dagger in the mix. And as a bone, one tailoring recipe at exalted. Yay. From a quick glance, looks like cloth wearers would be better served to prioritize a faction like the Oracles. Makes sense.
This is the kind of disconnect which earns WoW a reputation of having a rather weak lore (despite countless quests, NPCs and storytelling elements). Now I can fully understand the overreaching requirement to give incentives for all classes and many builds to grind rep on as many factions as possible – after all, rep grinding is one of those tools which help Blizzard keep both casual and hardcore players in the game for a long time, whether it's going to be one major long term objective (casuals) or a quick stepping stone before grabbing leet Naxxramas purplez for the less casuals. Still, I was expecting some more consistency there.
The Ebon Blade in particular strike me as an extreme let-down, and show very clearly where they could have gone a good bit further with the implementation of the hero class. As I've said before, the starter quests are marvelously done. But what would have been a really great addition would have been to add other class-specific intermediary steps at 65 and 75 where the DK does another series of quests strenghtening their lore and allowing them to upgrade their starter gear. And at the very least, there should be a kick-arse 2H epic runeblade available at exalted for them, and it really bugs me that there isn't.

Microsoft researcher slams Google and Facebook
A Harvard academic who works for Microsoft as a social media researcher has attacked privacy failings of both Google and Facebook. Danah Boyd of Microsoft Research New England insisted privacy is still alive, but technology will continue to confuse it.
Boyd was speaking at the South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. Responding to recent comments by Google boss Eric Schmidt she said: "No matter how many times a privileged straight white male technology executive pronounces the death of privacy, Privacy Is Not Dead. People of all ages care deeply about privacy. And they care just as much about privacy online as they do offline."
Discussing the recent fuss over Google Buzz, she noted that from a technical standpoint, everything the firm did was fine and that users had adequate control over various opt-outs. She argued that Google instead made non-social mistakes including mixing an inherently public service (Buzz) with a service people see as fundamentally private (Gmail), thus causing confusion.
Boyd also believes Google erred in believing people would simply opt out of the service if they didn't like it, noting that the process for doing so wasn't clear and that some users even believed doing so would close their Gmail account. And she says the firm was also wrong to make assumptions about what would benefit users, such as automatically suggesting contacts and treating all types of contact in the same way, when users actually often prefer clear lines of demarcation between, for example, personal friends and work colleagues.
Turning to Facebook's recent privacy changes, Boyd rejected the argument that the customizable settings were a success because 35 percent of people chose to alter their default settings back to more restricted privacy levels. She says there is "no way" that two out of every three Facebook users intentionally wants much of their content to be accessible to everybody with an internet connection.
Interestingly the word "Microsoft" didn't appear at any point in Boyd's address. To be fair the firm hasn't been at the center of any recent privacy controversies, but it would have been informative to learn more about how Boyd's work affect's Microsoft's own policies.

Introduction and Design
Tablets may be the darling of the tech industry, but they've also received their fair share of criticism as well. One of the most consistent barbs throw towards them is the tablet's inability to serve as a competent platform for content creature. While it's technically possible to write a document or edit an image on a tablet, it's certainly not enjoyable.
Part of the problem is the lack of a keyboard and mouse. Touchscreens are beautiful and intuitive, but they're not precise. While third-party cases and docks have tried to solve this issue, they're often both clunky and expensive.
It's little surprise that a tablet designed specifically to work in conjunction with a keyboard dock has hit the market, but it is surprising that the first such device comes from ASUS, a company with relatively little experience building mobile products. The Eee Pad Transformer is already the second-best selling tablet on the market (after the iPad, of course) and reports indicate sales are constrained by supply rather than demand. What is it that has made the Transformer a quick success?

Introduction, Design and Ergonomics
Courtesy of Samsung
Samsung's first product to make a splash into the Android tablet market was the original 7" Tab, and while its performance numbers were on par with other similar tablets produced in 2010, it left many consumers wanting more multimedia, gaming, and productivity features like what was available with Apple's iPad and iPad2. Many vendors, including Samsung, were dealing the same issues and challenges associated with the lack of tablet support in Android-based games and applications because Android's SDK only comes in one flavor for general mobile devices, not tablets with larger displays.
Courtesy of Samsung
After hearing feedback from consumers and hardware reviewers, Samsung completely redesigned the Tab 10.1 to accommodate users eager for enhanced video and gaming capabilities that take advantage of modern technologies like Android's latest Honeycomb OS and NVIDIA's Tegra 2 processor that support higher resolution displays beyond 1024x768 (the Tab 10.1's display runs at 1280x800). They also gave the Tab 10.1 a slimmer profile that is comparable to the iPad2. The Tab 10.1 can be purchased for around $499 for the 16GB version and $599 for the 32GB version, which is also on par with its Apple counterparts. We are reviewing the 16GB version to check out all the new features in Honeycomb and see what surprises Samsung included with the Tab 10.1 that justify the $500 price tag.
Phone in your overclocking, MSI Afterburner App for Android
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Mobile | July 25, 2011 - 02:58 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: msi, Android
Are you a hardcore PC user who likes to tweak your computer? Naturally there is an app for you. MSI has launched an application for the Android Marketplace this morning to allow users wishing to monitor and overclock their computers the ability to use their Android-powered smartphone or tablet for that purpose through their wireless network. This version allows you to monitor temperature, voltage, fan speed and adjust clock rates, voltages, and fan speeds.
Let's hope Angry Birds doesn't see this: Some systems' power consumptions are pigs!
MSI Afterburner APP has relatively modest requirements: a tablet or smartphone device running Android 1.6 or higher, a system running Windows XP or later with a discrete graphics card, access to a network with wireless access for the Android device to link into, and Afterburner 2.1.0 or later installed on the PC. Setting up your PC is relatively simple once you have Afterburner installed as you just need to run, not even install, an application "Remote Server" that you can download from the MSI website linked to from the Android Marketplace link. While this application is too new to be rated, it is free and thus there is little reason to not simply try it out yourself.

The Toshiba Thrive might be a little overweight but you won't have to buy it accessories
Subject: Mobile | July 20, 2011 - 05:19 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: toshiba, thrive, tablet, Android
The basic stats of the Toshiba Thrive don't make it stand out, a 1GHz Tegra 2, 1GB of RAM, 8, 16 or 32MB internal storage and a 10.1" screen at 1280 x 800 pixels. What does make this Honeycomb 3.1 device stand out is its support for peripherals, a full-sized HDMI port, 2 USB ports, one standard and one micro and a full-sized SD card slot. That means this slightly weighty tablet doesn't need adaptors for your peripherals which might mean less total weight for you to carry around. Even better, Ars Technica had absolutely no problems using the ports, it truly was plug'n'play.
"When Toshiba asked if we'd like to review its Android tablet, called the Thrive, we were initially a bit skeptical of the Honeycomb 3.1 device. There are so many other Android tablets on the market, so why choose this one? Especially when it's heavy?
When you're fighting the iPad on one hand and multiple Android competitors on the other, you have to stand out. Toshiba chose to fight a battle of connectivity and convenience with the Thrive, and it added full-sized HDMI, USB, and SD ports. If those things matter to you, the Thrive succeeds admirably."

Meet Vellamo
With Google reporting daily Android device activations upward of 550,000 devices a day, the rapid growth and ubiqutity of the platform cannot be denied. As the platform has grown, we here at PC Perspective have constantly kept our eye out for ways to assess and compare the performance of different devices running the same mobile operating systems. In the past we have done performance testing with applications such as Quadrant and Linpack, and GPU testing with NenaMark and Qualcomm's NeoCore product.
Today we are taking a look at a new mobile benchmark from Qualcomm, named Vellamo. Qualcomm has seen the need for an agnostic browser benchmark on Android, and so came Vellamo. A video introduction from Qualcomm's Director of Product Management, Sy Choudhury, is below.
With the default configuration, Vellamo performs a battery of 14 tests. These tests are catagorized into Rendering, Javascript, User Experience, Networking, and Advanced.

Lenovo hinted at new tablets at CES 2011, but provided little information on new models after that preview. Now, Lenovo has finally removed the veil from its line-up, which includes not one but three different products. The most surprising is undoubtedly the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet, a 10.1" device running Android 3.1.

Acer's new Honeycomb driven Iconia Tab A500 tablet
Subject: Mobile | June 27, 2011 - 06:51 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: tablet, honeycomb, Android, acer
As the table in AnandTech's review demonstrates, the interior of most tablets is dominated by a 1 Ghz ARM Cortex A9 with Tegra 2 doing the heavily graphical lifting. This puts the onus for standing out among the crowd on the look of the tablet and the compatible peripherals as well as the pice. Acer's design was not particularly well received at AnandTech, with several seams reducing their enjoyment of the tablet. On the plus side is the peripheral support, with HDMI and both a microSD card reader and a miniUSB port you will have no problems interfacing with your other gadgets. With a cost just under $400 AnandTech does like the tablet but they can't help but point out that with quad core ICS/Android 4.0 and Kal-El just around the corner you might want to wait for the next generation.
"Next in our series of Honeycomb tablet reviews is the Acer Iconia Tab A500. The A500 was the second Honeycomb tablet to go on sale, and is one of four on the market at present, all of which are very similar. They share basic specs—10.1" 1280x800 displays, NVIDIA's Tegra 2 underhood, 1GB LPDDR2 RAM, 16-64GB onboard NAND, front and rear facing cameras with HD video capture, basic wireless connectivity options, and stock versions of Android 3.0/3.1 Honeycomb (albeit with different preloaded software packages). The hardware similarities makes things like design and price that much more important, and the latter is where Acer seemed to have an edge."

Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
The Nexus S 4G is a Google phone through and through. Following Google's first hardware venture into the handset market, the Nexus One, this phone is how Google envisions the Gingerbread (Android 2.3) platform. Manufactured by Samsung, the Nexus S originally debuted as a GSM unlocked phone and on T-Mobile in the US earlier this year. Now, for the debut on CDMA networks, Samsung and Sprint have teamed together to add a 4G, WiMAX modem.
Because it is a Google tuned experience, the Nexus S 4G software is extremely polished, and provides a great user experience. Being the first phone to ship with Gingerbread, and still being one of the few phones shipping with it at this point in the game, it provides the absolute best small form-factor experience that Android is capable of.

Asus Announces New MeeGo Netbook, Ultralight Laptop, and Padfone
Subject: Systems, Mobile | May 31, 2011 - 12:06 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: ultraportable, padfone, meego, computex, asus, Android
Asus is starting their Computex 2011 showing off strong with a bevy of product announcements. Most of their new products fall into their mobile lineup. The new mobile devices include a thin MeeGo OS powered Netbook, an ultralight Core i7 laptop, a new 3D Eee Pad, the MeMO 3D, and a phone-docking tablet dubbed the "Padfone." Beyond the mobile market, the company has further announced a home entertainment media hub, and an All-In-One ET2700XVT desktop computer.
On the mobile front, and notebooks specifically, Asus has announced new N and UX series notebooks. The N series notebooks focus on incorporating higher fidelity speakers into a laptop chassis than is standard. The latest N models include a dedicated and external subwoofer to bring "deep bass extension that would otherwise be possible," according to Asus. The audio technology in question has been developed by Asus and David Lewis has been dubbed SonicMaster. This same audio technology is also integrated into their new AIO desktop, which you can read about below.
The UX series is Asus' ultraportable laptop lineup. Measuring 17mm at its thickest point, 2.4 pound aluminum ally body houses a Sandy Bridge Intel Core i7 processor and a SATA 6 Gb/s SSD. Asus further claims that the laptop features an "Instant On" feature that is capable of resuming the laptop from sleep states in seconds. The newest UX21 model is a silver colored aluminum body housing a glossy display, large track pad, two USB 3.0 ports, a headphone jack, and likely a non-user replaceable battery. The device is very slim and appears to be very competitive against Apple's MacBook Air.
The last addition to their mobile lineup is a MeeGo powered Eee PC X101 netbook. Powered by an Intel Atom N435 at 1.33GHz, the 10.1" netbook comes equipped with the Intel-backed MeeGo operating system. The Eee PC X101H is another such model with the option for MeeGo or Microsoft Windows 7 operating system in addition to the choice between a hybrid hard drive or solid state drive. At 17.6mm thick, and weighing under 950g, the netbook is fairly small. IO (input/output) on the device(s) include 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, USB, and a headphone jack.
Aside from notebooks, Asus showed off a tablet-docking concept phone and a 3D tablet. The Padfone is basically a larger screen and extra battery for your smartphone. Once your smartphone is connected inside the case and hidden, the tablet becomes a larger display and battery charger. The phone in turn, is able to share its 3G and Wi-Fi connections with the tablet.
The MeMO 3D tablet, on the other hand, is a 7" tablet with a 3D display at a resolution of 1024x600 pixels. The portrait device supports both multi-touch and capacitive stylus input. Android Honeycomb is the operating system of choice that powers the glasses-free 3D IPS display.
Asus has also announced a desktop All-In-One computer called the ET2700XVT which is 27" display coupled with a PC. Capabilities of the AIO include a digital TV tuner, HDMI-in, SyncMaster audio speakers, and optional 10-point multi-touch input.
In addition, the WAVI Xtion is 3D motion sensing technology much like that of Microsoft's Kinect. Asus hopes to combine this technology with computers and media centers. The Xtion Portal is a wireless home entertainment center for the living room. The device functions as a media playback box, web browser, app store, and game console. The game bundle includes MayaFit, Beat Booster, and DanceWall. Both the games and the interface is controlled via Kinect-like gestures.

Five Cape Town Banting Restaurants to TryBanting. If you haven't yet heard of the concept, then you clearly haven't been out in the big wide world in a while because everyone is talking about it and everyone knows someone who is on the banting (essentially meaning low carb, high fat) diet (or eating plan). But sometimes it's a mission to cook up a banting storm, so it's nice to know where you can go to get a decent meal that won't push you off the banting wagon. Here are some Cape Town spots that either fully cater for banting customers or offer the option on the menu.

Uthando South Africa wins at Indaba 2013
At the heart of responsible tourism is a new generation of responsible travellers who are seeking real, meaningful and authentic experiences and are in tune with responsible lifestyle practices such as buying fair-trade products and experiences, and supporting community tourism. Cape Town has been working towards being a responsible and sustainable city and destination for many years and we have again seen an increase in responsible tourism awareness, products and practices at Indaba 2013.
Cape Town welcomes #MeetSouthAfrica travel bloggers
Bloggers love South Africa – we know this from our #LoveCapeTown campaign. This campaign saw us bringing four international travel bloggers (@traveldudes @velvetescape @landlopers and @wildjunket) to Cape Town in July 2012 during a social media drive in which Capetonians interacted with the bloggers and their followers, telling the stories of Cape Town and her people.
