Renewed fervor for Google lifts stock above $800
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) â¿¿ Google's stock price topped $800 for the first time Tuesday amid renewed confidence in the company's ability to reap higher profits from its dominance of Internet search and prominence in the growing mobile market.The milestone comes more than five years after Google's shares initially hit $700. Not long after breaking that barrier in October 2007, the economy collapsed into the worst recession since World War II and Google's stock tumbled into a prolonged malaise that eventually led to a change in leadership. Besides enriching Google's employees and other shareholders, the company's resurgent stock is an implicit endorsement of co-founder Larry Page. He replaced his managerial mentor, Eric Schmidt, as CEO in April 2011. Google's stock has risen by 36 percent since Page took over. By contrast, the benchmark Standard & Poor's 500 index has climbed by 15 percent over the same stretch. ___ US ready to strike back against China cyber attacks WASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ As public evidence mounts that the Chinese military is responsible for stealing massive amounts of U.S. government data and corporate trade secrets, the Obama administration is poised to spell out specific trade actions it may take against Beijing or any other country guilty of cyberespionage. According to officials familiar with the plans, the White House is eyeing fines, penalties and other trade restrictions as initial, more-aggressive steps the U.S. would take in response to what top officials say has been an unrelenting campaign of cyberstealing linked to the Chinese government. The new strategy is to be released Wednesday, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the threatened action. The White House plans come after a Virginia-based cybersecurity firm released a torrent of details Monday that tied a secret Chinese military unit in Shanghai to years of cyberattacks against U.S. companies. After analyzing breaches that compromised more than 140 companies, Mandiant has concluded that they can be linked People's Liberation Army's Unit 61398.

Picture Problems on STB's - HELP
Don't know if anyone can help out with this question, but here it goes. I been having problems with some of the SD Channels mostly between 280 and 298 the one that is most obvious is on Channel 294 Peachtree TV. It is very hard to explain what the problem is, I have been intouch with Bell Fibe TV for the last 3 weeks, and still the problem exists.
They sent out a technician that did all the tests on the modem and cabling and everything came back good, all tests were 100% good, The video is choppy, almost like the characters on those channels move almost in a Robot movement. It seems that it is almost not sync, it definitely is not a smooth picture. The second technician came out today and changed the modem to a new one and the problem still persists, the problem is on all the 3 TV's in the home. anyone else come across any of these issues? not really pixelation, not really freezing, just seems like they move in a frame by frame movement. it's like watching a DVD from a different Region Code, its choppy, and this isn't on all the channels, just some, the HD channels are perfectly clear, so i dont know what to do anymore, They are supposed to do a monitoring of my problem for the next 24 to 48 hours, but I don't see what this is going to do.. so if anyone out there know of this issue and can share some thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

What is your STB set to output the source in? 1080i or 720p?
Try setting it to 720p, I've seen this issue, it happens because of too much processing on the source, odds are your TV has the ability to deinterlace but the source has been processed several times already along the way.
If you're set to 720p, try 1080i.
If this doesn't work, can you deal your setup a little, AVR, TV etc.

I sometime get "signal loss" on some SD channels. The SD channels that I loose also have a perfectly working HD channel.
And is its not a HDMI or Component cable issues. Main Plasma TV is HDMI connected and my other two LED TVs are using the Component cables provided. All three loose the same SD channels.

Bringing Genetic Data into the Clinic
By Ben Comer | Published: September 27, 2011
While Big Pharma frets over the costs and risks associated with exploratory endpoints in the clinic and the vagaries of companion diagnostic reimbursement, non-profit organizations like the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) are stepping in to provide pharmacogenomic research for the next generation of cancer drugs.

Obama Deficit Plan Sides With PBMs Over Big Pharma
Amid the flurry of cost-cutting proposals aimed at guiding the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction's (Super Committee) budgetary blade, the Obama Administration has now weighed in with a proposal to cut $248 billion from Medicare spending over ten years, and $73 billion in Medicaid and other health-related spending. The Obama plan, which would increase […]

I think Davis is a great option as a speedy 4th or 5th OF with the ability to cover some ground in our expansive CF area plus be used as a base stealing option late in the game. I think we might be able to land him for $5 mil per year. My main concern is he is a remnant of the Toroto clubhouse and Farrell may not want any part of that revisited.
He's not that great defensively either but we are talking about a guy not expected to start. Froma pure baseball perspective I think he would be a terrific fit. I brought this up on several forums months ago and I think Moon was the only supporter of the idea. We are on the island all by ourselves Moon! I did see something about him in the Globe this morning though so now at least some people are warming up to the idea.
Believe it or not guys, I think sportswriters actually do read our posts some. It's their job to come up with things people like us might be interested in reading. I've seen it happen too many times where things I've posted end up in the paper a few days later. That's ok with me. Most of the time I'm sure it's just coincidence but it would also be reasonable for sportswriters to skim these pages to see what fans are thinking.

Waterfront Facilites
Waterfront Facilities
Texas Clipper Pier - The 450 foot pier serves as the home of the Texas Maritime Academy training ship and related support equipment. Over the next few years the pier will undergo a multimillion dollar upgrade to it's infrastructure and support structure to enable it to handle the next generation of training vessels.
Small Boat Basin - The heart of our operations is a 10 slip facility with fixed and floating docks capable of handling boats up to 100ft. The support infrastructure includes a boat ramp for our trailered research fleet, a covered boat lift that supports our more frequently used vessels, and a system of floating piers that will serve as the home for smaller vessels in our fleet as well as the offshore sail team.
Started in the fall of 2009 the basin is undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation that will improve our services, infrastructure and appearance.
Gravity Lifeboat Training Station - An essential part in the training of any merchant mariner is lifesaving. Installed in 2008 this simulator provides the practical hands on experience for our cadets. With the simulator they can practice the procedures and safe handling of lifeboats at sea.
Covered Boat Lift - A recent addition to our waterfront has been a covered boat lift used to store our most used research vessels. The lift provides the capability to keep the boats out of the weather and to do minor maintenance and repair.
RV Manta -Thanks to a great working relationship with the NOAA Flower Gardens National Marine Sanctuary they University has the ability to special charter the R/V Manta. Built in Bellingham, Wash., by All American Marine, the twin-hulled Manta features a laboratory equipped with the latest scientific instruments, air compressors to allow divers to refill scuba tanks at sea, and a recompression chamber to enhance diver safety. The vessel accommodates 14 people, deploy robot subs and other ocean exploration tools, and cruise at speeds up to 35 knots.
Boat Ramp - Installed in 2011 this ramp serves all of the needs of our small trailerable vessels. This ramp is designed to acomodate vessels up to 18ft wide and 60,000lbs per axel.

Welcome to the Young, Pissed, And Financial BONUS Part 7 – for those who're truly hungry to unlock wise money knowledge and experiences.
Continuing from part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, and part 6 of Young Pissed & Financial, here's more of the story behind why I think most people, including bankers + brokers, don't really "get" money – and it makes 'em miserable.
This is the bonus grand finale of the Young, Pissed And Financial series, and it goes a little deeper than the rest.
In it we begin to dip our toes into the Mystery of finances and success. We begin to consider ditching old ways and rules, and we open up to new ones. To me, this is an introduction to the msot fun, most refreshing information on money I've read or written.
If you like Ryze's Fresh Views On Taboos — I have a feeling you're gonna love this one.
Last time I touched on how affirmations "done right" seemed to be having an positive impact for me, and it's understandable why.The better we are with lifes tools — imagination, focus, beliefs, attitudes — the better time we'll have of life.
But affirmations fail, like, often.
They really do.
Heh, and it kinda sucks.
If we could examine the % success rate for affirmations, when we "taught" this tool to someone else, how high would it be, really?
And can we write off all the 'failure' to "well, people dont use 'em right!"
That seems silly and dismissive.
There must be something else going on.
A deeper truth.
Imagination, beliefs, affirmations, etc., seem very unreliable.
And it's not just because "people don't use 'em right!"
A 'tool' that is unreliable, isn't really a tool at all.
Any tool that requires the majority of humanity to figure out some complex puzzle, and the "right way" to use the tool is known by few, is a pretty ridiculous design for a tool.
"Ì wish I could say that 'yes, the typical prescriptions and the recommendations and the techniques and strategies for how to be happy work… but they don't! They don't. The mainstream one's don't, the more esoteric or woo-woo one's don't. They just don't work at all — or reliably — and you don't have to take my word for this, you just need to look around. Look at the world, look at, maybe your life or the lives of other people that you know. The world is not a happier place because of all of the books, and the audios, and the videos, and the prescriptions, and the medicines and everything else." – Robert Scheinfeld
Almost everyone wants more money, and during the first chunk of our lives, we've been trained to believe some pretty interesting things about money and the economy.
And we all take it for granted.
And there's a reason for this.
And it's NOT because the tools are flawed.Continue reading

Much of the department's work in providing whole-of-government services to the Government and the Australian community is directed towards protecting and advancing Australia's national interests as reported in output 1.1. Our work on behalf of Commonwealth parliamentarians, state and territory governments, business and other agencies frequently involves the same approach and includes:
- assistance with the development of international visit programs and other logistical help overseas
- provision of administrative services to agencies attached to the department's overseas missions, including communications, office support and property management
- provision of tactical advice and analysis to Australian business and representations made to foreign governments on their behalf
- provision of statistical and other factual information about aspects of Australia's relationship with international organisations and foreign countries or about those organisations and countries themselves.
Parliament in Australia
The department helped arrange 110 overseas visits for individual Members of Parliament and Senators and for parliamentary delegations. These overseas visits played an important role in establishing and strengthening links between the Australian Parliament and parliaments of other countries. The visits provided opportunities for study and observation of developments in a wide variety of fields relevant to the Australian community.
Our role included giving suggestions and guidance on in-country travel; identifying and making appointments with key people in specific fields of interest; and providing written and oral background briefings on foreign and trade policy matters related to the visits.
Members and Senators have on several occasions commended the department, in Parliament, for the support provided for their visits.
The department helped with 23 visits to Australia by presiding officers, committees and delegations from parliaments of other countries. We provided written briefs and talking points for the presiding officers and members of the Australian Parliament in their meetings with visiting parliamentarians.
Our work for the Parliament included assisting:
- parliamentary delegation visits to Asia, including visits to East Timor in September 2003, Sri Lanka in October 2003, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam in November 2003, Japan, Korea and Indonesia in December 2003 and China in June and July 2004
- parliamentary delegation visits to Europe, including visits to Latvia in September 2003, European institutions and France in April and May 2004 and the Ukraine and Bulgaria in June and July 2004
- parliamentary delegation visits to the Pacific, including Fiji, Samoa, New Caledonia and Vanuatu in November 2003, and Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands in December 2003
- parliamentary delegations attending Inter-Parliamentary Union meetings in Switzerland in September 2003 and Mexico in April 2004, the United Nations General Assembly in the United States (New York) in September 2003, the World Trade Organization Ministerial Conference in Mexico in September 2003, a Commonwealth Parliamentary Association conference in Bangladesh in October 2003 and the Asia–Pacific Parliamentary Forum in China in January 2004
- visits to the Gulf States by the Trade Sub-Committee of the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade (JSCFADT) in April 2004 and by the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Foreign Affairs Sub-Committee to Indonesia in February 2004
- a total of 78 visits by individual parliamentarians to Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
The department coordinated, on a whole-of-government basis, briefing on treaties and treaty action prepared for the Joint Standing Committee on Treaties. We made submissions and gave evidence to a range of parliamentary committees. Interactions are detailed in Appendix 6.
The department also provided 19 written and oral briefings on foreign and trade policy issues of specific interest in response to requests from individual Members and Senators.
Services to attached agencies
The department provided management services, on a user-pays basis, to 21 Australian government agencies overseas under the Service Level Agreement (SLA). These included management services, financial services, office services and property services for both Australia-based employees and locally engaged staff. The current SLA, introduced in 2001, facilitates the efficient administration of Australian government business overseas while avoiding operational and financial duplication. Under a separate arrangement, Austrade posts have the option of receiving either the full range of management services or essential services only.
The department revised the SLA during the year, in consultation with other agencies. The revised arrangement aims to:
- increase the transparency of the fee structure
- provide more clearly defined services and performance indicators.
The department proposes that communication services will be covered under a separate MOU with attached agencies. The revised SLA is intended to take effect early in 2004–05. Arrangements are in place for an extension of the current agreement until then. Feedback from our SLA clients has been positive, with current signatories actively engaged in finalising the new agreement.

Services to business
The department consulted closely with members of the public and the Australian business community on trade-related matters. We sought public submissions on the negotiations for an Australia–United States Free Trade Agreement (AUSFTA) and set up a telephone hotline for enquiries and comments.
The Government received some 200 submissions in relation to the negotiation of the AUSFTA, including 69 from industry and professional bodies and companies, 32 from NGOs and 8 from trade unions. These submissions helped to inform the development of the Government's negotiating objectives. In particular, the Government's negotiating objectives took into account concerns expressed in relation to potential negative effects or risks of agreeing in the negotiations to changes to specific domestic policy programs or settings.
From 9 February to end June 2004, the department received nearly 3000 telephone calls on its AUSFTA hotline. Callers asked questions on a wide range of issues, with the most common requests being for greater detail on individual areas of the Agreement, information on the approval process and for copies of the text.
The department supported a range of formal consultative mechanisms designed to ensure Mr Vaile received expert trade policy advice from the business community. These important consultative mechanisms provided forums for consultation, coordination and collaboration on trade and investment issues between the Government, business and the community. These mechanisms included:
- the Trade Policy Advisory Council, comprising representatives from the business community
- the World Trade Organization (WTO) Advisory Group, which represents a cross-section of industry, non-government organisations, trade unions and academic interests
- the Agricultural Trade Consultative Group, involving senior representatives from major agricultural industry organisations.
The department also undertook a range of informal consultations with representatives of specific industry sectors on developments and Australian negotiating positions in the Doha Round, bilateral FTA negotiations and WTO disputes. We supported a range of senior business representatives who accompanied Mr Vaile to the WTO Ministerial Conference in Cancún, particularly from the rural sector given the importance of agriculture in the negotiations. Some members of the WTO Advisory Group, representing the interests of the wider business community, also attended.
Australian Ambassador to Jordan, John Tilemann, and Royal Jordanian Air Force test pilot, Captain Mowfaq Khlaileh, stand in front of the Spirit of Hervey Bay, the first Seabird Seeker to fly in Jordan. The light surveillance aircraft will be produced in Jordan under a joint venture between Queensland company Seabird Aviation and the King Abdullah Design and Development Bureau (KADDB) entered into in September 2003.

Market information and analysis
The department continued to offer a consultancy service providing statistical information and advice, on a fee-for-service basis, for Australian businesses and researchers interested in overseas markets. The service specialises in trade and economic data, covering Australia's trading and business relationships with over 220 countries and information about the international trade of over 100 countries accounting for around 90 per cent of total world trade.
The department continued to deliver benefits to the business community through our involvement with APEC (see sub-output 1.1.6 for more information) and with the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC). We improved our interactions with the Australian members of ABAC and instituted measures to elicit business views more efficiently and strategically and to feed these into APEC, including through:
- organising regular meetings with Australian ABAC members and better coordination of positions in advance of international meetings
- organising meetings between ABAC members and peak industry bodies
- organising an APEC business forum in Sydney in April 2004 which attracted nearly 100 high-profile members of the business community to discuss possible APEC (and ABAC) work in support of Australian business interests
- advocating amendments to APEC operating procedures that would better facilitate direct business input.
Trade wins—improving market access for Australian exporters
The department continued to help Australian exporters facing market access difficulties overseas. Our advocacy, particularly through our network of overseas missions, was instrumental in improving access for Australian exporters in a wide cross-section of countries and sectors. Key 'trade wins' in 2003–04 included:
- a reduction in Vietnam's tariffs on Australian wine imports in June 2004 to bring them in line with tariffs imposed on imports from the European Union (EU)
- following an intensive lobbying effort by Australian officials in key European capitals, in October 2003 the EU granted an autonomous tariff quota that enabled the import of 1500 tonnes of frozen rock lobster for further processing at 6 per cent duty—well below the usual 12.5 per cent tariff. In February 2004, the EU agreed to extend the autonomous tariff quota until the end of 2006. These decisions opened the way for increased access to EU markets for Australian rock lobster exporters
- representations from our mission in Hong Kong were instrumental in bringing about a Hong Kong decision in November 2003 to simplify inspection of imports of Australian dairy foods. Our dairy products will no longer be held on the docks on arrival in Hong Kong
- Extensive lobbying efforts by the department played a key role in Saudi Arabia's decision to lift its ban on imports of offal and spinal cords.
Our network
State and territory offices again played an important role in the department's trade advocacy and outreach work in 2003–04. Their strong links with state governments and local industry and business groups allowed for key trade messages to be disseminated to a wide audience. The state and territory offices played a vital role in communicating messages to the Australian community related to important trade policy developments, including the Thailand–Australia Free Trade Agreement (TAFTA), the AUSFTA and Mr Vaile's Trade 2004 statement.
Services to state governments and other agencies overseas and in Australia
The department played a significant role supporting visits overseas by state and territory ministers, parliamentarians and officials, Australian government officials and others. Some examples include visits to:
- China by the Premiers of South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania and the Chief Minister of the Northern Territory to promote business opportunities
- Japan by the Governor of South Australia, the Premier of Tasmania and ministers from New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory to promote economic and cultural links
- the Republic of Korea by the Premiers of South Australia and Western Australia to promote exports and investment
- Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei by ministers from Western Australia, the Northern Territory and South Australia to promote exchange, trade and tourism links and agribusiness
- Malaysia by the Governor of South Australia to promote South Australia/Malaysia relations
- Thailand and Vietnam by the Governor of New South Wales to strengthen bilateral links in health services
- India by state government ministers, trade delegations and officials to strengthen state-to-state ties, identify new business opportunities and expand cooperation in sports development
- Egypt by a state governor, a state standing committee on natural resource management, a state minister and a former prime minister to pursue trade and investment interests
- Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Lebanon by the Premier of Victoria to promote trade, investment, education and cultural links
- Israel by two state premiers to promote trade, investment and research and development links.
We provided briefings, policy advice and other support for a wide range of Australian government agencies on international aspects of their agendas, activities and programs. This included helping to arrange visit programs, participating in negotiations on bilateral agreements and understandings, and facilitating and providing representation at international meetings. Some examples include:
- support for placement of a number of Australian Federal Police (AFP) officers (for example, to Phnom Penh and Rangoon) and assistance to the AFP in Thailand for carrying out extradition requests
- assistance to the Department of Transport and Regional Services in finalising air services agreements with Singapore and Brunei
- assistance to the Attorney-General's Department to promote legal services and counter-terrorism cooperation in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei
- assistance to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) with a number of problems involving Australian agricultural exports to India, the cargo of live sheep aboard the MV Cormo Express and market access for wheat flour to Indonesia
- cooperation with IP Australia on WTO Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPS), the Doha Round negotiations and in the World Intellectual Property Organization
- assistance to the Department of Environment and Heritage at the 7th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity
- assistance and consultations with Biosecurity Australia on quarantine issues with the Philippines, especially in relation to the draft Import Risk Assessment on bananas from the Philippines
- assistance to the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service and Biosecurity Australia on quarantine issues with Malaysia and meat export facilities for exports to Malaysia
- assistance to the Department of Health and Ageing in Australia's cooperation with Singapore on responses to the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) crisis and emerging infectious diseases
- assistance to Treasury and Invest Australia in their South-East Asian activities
- assistance to Asialink and the Global Foundation in planning and staging regional conferences
- support for a visit to Mauritius by a Coastwatch delegation seeking to improve cooperation on illegal fishing issues
- cooperation with DAFF, the Australian Fisheries Management Authority and the Attorney-General's Department in negotiations leading to the entry into force of the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean.
Open source collection
The Government provided the department with $905 000 in 2003–04, and allocated an additional $4.8 million over the subsequent three years, for the expansion of its Open Source Collection Unit. This significantly strengthened our capacity to provide translations and summaries of news from Indonesian and Pacific broadcast, print and Internet media. We responded to increased demands for information on regional terrorism networks in South-East Asia and for additional coverage of issues such as people smuggling, money laundering and other transnational issues. The growth of the collection function has involved a significant increase in liaison with other government agencies in determining collection priorities.

Upcoming Event – De-Growth Conference: A way to move forward (Vancouver)
Tags: bill rees, Conference, de-growth, ecological economics, events, growth management, growth strategy, post-carbon
For the past three months, I have had the pleasure of participating in a series of discussions led by Dr. Bill Rees on the subject of the Post-Carbon City. It has been invigorating and exciting to imagine how we will transition out of our fossil fuel dependence. A key theme to these discussions has been: "What will the new economy look like when constrained by the social and ecological limits of our world?"
In a few weeks, this question (and many more) will be explored in greater detail when Vancouver hosts North America's first ever De-Growth Conference from April 29 to May 2, 2010.
Speakers include: Vanessa Timmer, Peter Victor, Rex … Continue Reading

Community Review: "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas"by Jeffrey Kirkpatrick at . Comments
I can understand why most people would enjoy "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas," especially this time of year. But I didn't find it all that amusing. Creative, sure... but only passively entertaining.
There were a handful of comedic lines, but I only laughed out loud at the Tim Burton joke. I really miss the days when I'd practically fall out of my chair over the hilarious insanity of this bunch.
Community, what's happened to you? You used to be so absurdly funny and didn't take yourself too seriously. Lately, it seems every episode has to be about teaching some sort of lesson. The last two weeks in particular have just felt flat. Maybe I just don't get your recent slide into After-School Special territory, but I'm thisclose to start using the phrase "Tonight, on a very special Community" in my reviews.I did think the characters' spot-on transformations to toy versions of themselves was genious, and only Community would give an animated Chang snowman Asian-like features.
The animation was vivid and very well done. I loved how detailed they made the sets, down to the owl statue on Duncan's desk. Therefore, I'm basing my rating solely on how creative the episode was because the usual reasons why I get a kick out of watching Community do not apply here.
Before I start getting spears hurled at me in the comments, I admit that I'm in the minority here and most fans will adore this episode. Rather than continue to expound on my admittedly dissident viewpoint, I open up the comments section below to you to please share your reasons on what you enjoyed about it. I've also listed a few of my favorite Community quotes from the half hour:
Abed: It's the first season of Lost on DVD.
Pierce: That's the meaning of Christmas?
Abed: No it's a metaphor. It represents lack of payoff. | permalink
Troy: Who taught you therapy, Michael Jackson's dad? | permalink
Abed: Everyone be perfectly sincere. Humbugs are attracted to sarcasm.
Jeff: Wow. Somewhere out there Tim Burton just got a boner. | permalink
Abed: If I can find the meaning of Christmas, everything will go back to normal.
Jeff: Asterisk. | permalink
Pierce: What do you care about Christmas Abed? You're Muslim. Don't your people spend this season writing in angry letters to TVGuide? | permalink

"genious" See that button with the ABC on it? Use that before posting.
bit of a hysterical review. this is only the second episode in a row you've been down on the show. i hate when reviewers say lately, and what's happened to this show? two episodes ago you were raving about it. creating drama much
It's cool. I can see why people might not like it. I liked it. It was not outstanding but it was something for sure. I loved the start Abed starts singing and dancing on cars and gets tased, that made me laugh hard. The fact that they did not go into a slump, like many other shows do, right after the strong opening is why it is such a good episode and, moreover, a great series.
I agree. It seems the hilarity has been somewhat absent of late. Still, on repeated viewings, I thought the episode seemed more likeable. Plus, I think Dan Harmon and co. wanted to make an attempt at making a completely all ages show, and, except for the line about Tim Burton, it pretty much was that. Here's hoping they come back to crazy town after the midseason break.
I like you Piecar. ;-)
And, sorry...I've seen this said elsewhere...What kind of risk is this kind of thing exactly? The stop motion love is BUILT INTO the Christmas season. They're safe there. Tons of other shows have done puppets. "Angel" was turned into a muppet at one point. There was no risk at all in doing this. Hell, it was practically fated to be called a "classic" just by doing it... It's practically a Teflon ep just by the change in medium....Still, clever.
Nice plug of your own site Teddy Pearce. This episode just wasn't funny. It was cute, it was clever....it wasn't funny. I agree that Duncan is rarely funny on this show. The only funny moment I can think of was with his restraining order on Chang..and Chang's reactions were what made it funny.
People see things differently, that's what makes them individuals. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, that's what makes life interesting. How boring it would be if everyone agreed with each other on every topic, and if every review was "This episode was awesome." BTW - You'd be surprised how many comments I've received on Twitter of people agreeing with me. And Teddy, we kindly ask that you refrain from posting links to other reviews external to this site. I've already asked the webmaster to have this removed. Thanks for the comments! All are welcome.
Wow, I can't believe how down on this episode you were--this was a huge risk for even this show to take, and they did a helluva job pulling it off. Community has had a bit of an uneven season this year, but this episode just got everything right.
John...It seems like you have a point of view on this ep...But I have no idea what it is from what you said. I agree with the reviewer on the "One To Grow On" ep last week...Though I liked it. What was your beef here? That you thought the stop motion ep had real depth of character? Abed learned nothing, and no one else did either. It was the lesson they learn every ep. They're all a bunch of misfits, and they'll stand together. No one gets any development here. Just a couple of characters get backstory

Ancient Chinese Seismograph
Earthquakes are a big problem in China, where there are many earthquakes, and often strong ones. Under the Han Dynasty, a man called Zhang Heng invented the first seismograph in the world - the first way to record an earthquake. Zhang Heng's seismograph was a bronze jar about three feet across, with eight small dragons perched on it. Each dragon had a ball balanced in his mouth. When there was an earthquake, the closest dragon's mouth would open, letting the ball drop into the mouth of a waiting frog. This showed what direction the earthquake was coming from. Zhang Heng's seismograph could tell what direction an earthquake was coming from up to 500 kilometers (310 miles) away.

My wife is a Professor at the University of Washington, and
works with autistic children. Some of those children would be very
scared of dogs, some driven to screaming and hysteria at the mere
sight of a dog. Sophie was a sweet and gentle dog. She was so
friendly and good with children, that my
wife would use Sophie to desensitize these
children, and teach them not to be afraid. We called Sophie
our "Therapy Dog" because her patient calm was so effective, and
many of those frightened children came to love her and look forward
to her visits..

EPIC Plan to Shut Down the NSA: Shut Down the Water
The Tenth Amendment Center has an epic plan to shut down the NSA–shut off the water. The new NSA data center in Utah will require 1.7 million gallons of water a day to keep the computers cooled off. If there is no water, the computers cannot stay in operation.
The simple solution? If there is no water to the facility, being built in Bluffdale, Utah it can't operate.
The city of Bluffdale, Utah has a water contract with the NSA. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, the city agreed to sell water to the NSA well under market value. The $1.95 per gallon charge is well below the state average of $2.09 a gallon.
Further, the 10-year contract that took effect Sept. 30, 2011, specifies that Bluffdale can't increase the rates on the Utah Data Center without also hiking rates on all Tier 2 water consumers.
Bluffdale city manager Mark Reid has said that the city could, in theory, turn the water off to the NSA. However, in doing so it would have to shut down water to the whole city. This isn't because of the infrastructure, but because of the contract. In other words, Reid is in it for the NSA, not for the people.
The people of the state have a powerful interest in circumventing the diversion of water to the NSA. Utah is the nation's second-driest state with 13 inches of average annual precipitation, and is practically a desert. Why the federal government would build a facility that requires that much water in the second driest state in the United States is beyond logic, but it is. Over 80% of Utah's water is used for agriculture.
Further, the NSA has a habit of maxing out state resources. In In 2006, NSA HQ maxed out capacity of the Baltimore area power grid.
Given a choice between water and power for crops and local businesses or for an NSA facility, who would get the water? Do people think the farmers and other business would win on this one, or the NSA?
Activist have crafted a law for Utah and other states that would prevent a state from participating in providing resources to federal agencies that violate the 4th Amendment. The law would have to be introduced into state legislatures, and obviously the focus here is on the Utah State legislature.
There is no legal requirement for a state to cooperate with the federal government. As the Tenth Amendment Center states,
This is based on the undisputed legal doctrine of "anti-commandeering." The federal government has no power to require states to help the feds carry out federal acts or programs in any way.
The Supreme Court affirmed this in these cases: 1842 Prigg, 1997 Printz, 2002 New York, and 2012 Sebelius.
James Madison, writing in Federalist #46, said that states had "powerful means" to oppose either unconstitutional or "unpopular" federal programs. Included was a "refusal to cooperate with officers of the Union."
The group also has a Youtube video that gives a quick overview. The facility in Maryland is maxed out. Stopping the Utah facility may only postpone the construction of another facility. However, this will give legislators time to act on legislation.

Samsung Spinpoint HD203WI 2TB HDD review -
Final Words & Conclusion
Final Words & Conclusion
The Samsung Spinpoint F3 HD203WI is what it is, a bulky and huge storage unit. As such the performance was as expected. Quite honestly for a 2000 GB unit at 5400 RPM the performance really is quite okay. At the beginning of the magnetic platters you'll see read speeds of over 100 MB/sec fired at you, and when data is stored at the end of the platter .. you are still seeing 50'ish MB/sec performance at worst.
That makes a drive like this extremely suited for mass storage of large files like your music, photo's documents and media content. Are there downsides ? Well sure there are. At 6 cents a GB you can betcha there are some quirks, first off, when you tasted SSDs for a while you completely forget how fast they really are. There's literally no access time with an SSD. Your average fast HDD like a VelociRaptor will have a 0,7ms access time and the Samsung Spinpoint F3 HD203WI tops it off with 0,14ms sometimes even ,016ms .... and that's just slow. So the minute your HDD needs to write on several locations of it's respective platters, that's where it's going to hurt the most.
Say if you'd put an OS on this HDD you can be sure it will be slow at accessing data. But hey, this is a 5400 RPM drive and it needs to sift through the 2000 GB of data stored on it. It shows really well with the PCMark Vantage HDD test, which crushes a traditional HDD yet makes the SSDs shine, and that's a good representation of OS and work desktop behavior.
We feel as a secondary storage unit this 2TB monster HDD makes the most sense. Another quirk, though the drive itself is not at all noisy, we did stumble into the fact that the HDD resonates a lot. If you pick it up while it's active, you can feel the vibrations in your hand. So if you insert it into a PC, make sure you have it tucked away in some sort of rubber mount as resonation and vibration can be an issue for some of you, it can create noise when the PC chassis starts to pick up that vibration.
Other than that, this really is a terrific drive for the money. We can't believe we picked up a 2000 GB drive at just 117 EUR and in the USA less than 150 USD. So our recommendation, pick up a drive like this as secondary storage unit for mass file storage. Pop in a fast HDD/SSD for your OS and primary application and rest assured as then you'll gain the most from your PC. With our tips spread out, we can recommend the Samsung Spinpoint F3 HD203WI, it's not the fastest kid on the block but comes at a great price for a very capable high volume drive.

Senator Calls For Pulling Aid
By Harold Hutchison
Senator John McCain (R-AZ) has called for aid to be suspended to Egypt after Mohammed Morsi was removed from power by the Egyptian military. The call came as protests against the removal turned violent, and the death toll began climbing.
While fighting between the Egyptian Army and protestors left 51 people dead, there were other incidents of violence, including an incident where Islamist supporters waving an al-Qaeda banner tossed a 19-year-old who supported the ouster of Morsi off of a five-story building, killing him.
Morsi was removed from power on 3 July.

Clarke Dryden Camper is Senior Vice President, Head of Government Affairs and Public Advocacy at NYSE Euronext, a...
In the 2013 "State of American Business" remarks, U.S. Chamber of Commerce CEO Thomas J. Donohue argues that "[e]conomic growth must be front and center here in Washington—just as it is in many state capitols across the nation." The Chamber forecasts growth of "1½ to 1¾ percent for the first half of the year, gradually accelerating to 2½ percent by the end of the year" – which Donahue contends is a rate that is "simply not acceptable" for getting America's economy back on track.
In order to sustain and increase America's prospects for economic growth, Donohue urges policymakers to address "the coming flood of new regulations that will discourage our job creators and damage our competitive edge in the global economy." Dodd-Frank, for example, mandates the creation of 447 new laws governing financial reform, but he says only one-third of them have been finalized.
Donohue says that the Chamber's Center for Capital Markets will seek to fix "areas of Dodd-Frank that Congress and the regulators simply got wrong" by encouraging a reform agenda that pursues legislation where policymakers have not yet acted and repeals laws that don't promote economic growth.
The good news according to Donohue? The nation's housing market shows signs of recovery, European financial markets are stabilizing, and energy prices are holding steady.
The bad news? Tax increases resulting from the recent fiscal cliff negotiations "will hit successful small businesses hard, which will dampen growth and hurt job creation," says Donohue.

Another chem?
Ahhh, so here I am again. Writing on a blog because no one wants to hear me whine anymore. On the 1st of January, I had what I thought was implantation bleeding. I waited until the 5th to test and got a negative. I started my period on the 6th. My period usually lasts about 4 to 5 days, very heavy in the middle. Well, it lasted about that long but I had old blood for a long time afterwards. My BF decided we needed to do the BD, so we did, on Saturday the 14th. Monday, the 16th, I started to have a bit more coming out of me than I had been.

Game Racing Ottoman
November 3rd, 2010
I don't know what possessed an Australian modder to come up with this hack, but I have to say that I'm surprised that it hasn't popped up before.
Lyshco is a member of the Overclockers in Australia forum and he just finished working on this racing ottoman. He placed a seat, gearstick, pedals, and a steering wheel inside an ottoman. The guy is about 6′ tall and this fits him pretty well. He used ¾" MDF to build it. The feet were sanded down to a very smooth finish, allowing the ottoman to slide over carpet easily.
The ottoman slides over and he just pops the hood to start racing. It takes a few minutes and he's ready to go. He also mentions that there's massive space to store stuff and the overall benefit is that it looks swanky in his pad.

Romantic comedies I could live without
697 5.6 5.81. Made of Honor (2008)
I don't even know why I watched this. I knew I wouldn't like it. There was no redeeming factor.
1243 4.7 4.92. Maid in Manhattan (2002)
Modern take on Cinderella? Thanks but no thanks.
1283 4.9 5.13. The Wedding Planner (2001)
Yeah... I don't know. I just didn't like it.
294 2.8 04. Gigli (2003)
I suppose you've started to see a trend, with me and J-Lo. The truth is, I don't not like her. I mean I think she's cool. I just think Romantic movies aren't her thing.
2249 5.8 6.15. 13 Going on 30 (2004)
I didn't like this either, but at least this had the thriller thing going for it. Why would any kid wish to be 30? Why not 21?
1301 5.5 5.46. Sex and the City (2008)
Bleh. I didn't like the second one either.
677 5.2 5.87. The Heartbreak Kid (2007)
I realllly didn't like this one. Good thing I watched Watchmen before I saw this.
Elizardc's rating:
3093 6.1 6.78. Hitch (2005)
I think the only thing that save this film from total devastation was the subplot of Allegra.
959 5.7 5.89. Confessions Of A Shopaholic (2009)
It was actually okay. But seriously the line (and I'm parapharsing here but its just about the gist).
"No she's not my girlfriend, she's not you."
Gag. Not cool.
Elizardc's rating:
700 5.3 5.410. Killers (2010)

Although I liked most of these movies, you're right, they're not the bests.
Actually I hated Confessions of a Shopaholic - compared to the book it was horrible (not to mention the cast....bleh)

My heart and prayer for you is that God will strentghen you and your family and that He will heal you completely. I myself is going through Breast cancer right now, doing welland I owe it all to God for what he is doing for me and my family. It is good to have people around you that are positive. Again I will be praying for you and your family.
Ethan Zohn: "My Cancer Is Back."
Survivor: Africa winner Ethan Zohn, who has been fighting a rare form of Hodgkin's disease and just completed a round of chemotherapy, has been told by doctors that the cancer is back and in a different location.
"I was off chemo. I was running up to seven miles" in preparation for November's New York City Marathon. I was happy, I was going out. I went up to Boston to see the family and was feeling great…I have never been so scared in my life, for my life.""It was a complete punch in the face…My mom was obviously upset. My brothers – everyone's upset. They can't believe it's what's happening. But on the flip side, everyone's positive and supportive. You have to think positive. And you have to find the strength, which I will. And you have to rely on other people, which I will," Zohn said. "The original mass is pretty well contained (but) there was re-growth. Two little nodules in a different location…It's quite rare that not only is there re-growth, but that there's re-growth so quickly. I was obviously resistant to the first form of chemotherapy."
From People.com:
The new treatment – officially called risk-adapted high dose chemoradiotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation for patients with relapsed and primary Hodgkin's lymphoma – will take place in three stages.
The once-shaggy-haired soccer player just emerged from the first part of stage one: He spent three days in a hospital last week, where he received a combination of chemotherapy drugs referred to as ICE. Since Zohn's immune system was in such a fragile state, his girlfriend, Survivor: The Amazon winner Jenna Morasca, slept in a chair at his bedside each night dressed in a hospital gown, protective mask and rubber gloves.
After three weeks of rest, he'll return to the hospital for a second in-patient ICE treatment that will last four days. Doctors will then harvest healthy stem cells from Zohn's body and freeze them for later use.
"In stage two I will get blasted twice a day for 14 days with a high dose of radiation," Zohn told friends via e-mail last week. "In the final and most difficult stage, I will be admitted to the hospital for 30 days (yes a whole f'ing month), to get my final chemotherapy session to start my stem cell transplant."
Zohn says that both his red and white blood cell count will be brought down to zero during the month-long hospital stay – most likely in December – at which time his frozen, healthy stem cells will be reintroduced with the aim of replenishing his body entirely with non-cancerous cells.
"Then I'm cured," he said in his e-mail to friends, showing his usual air of hope and humor. "Easy as 1, 2, 3 … 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 … 1000 … 1,000,000."

Cedar WaxwingBombycilla cedrorum
6 1/2-8" (17-20 cm). Smaller than a robin. A sleek, crested, brown bird with black mask, yellow tips (sometimes reddish) on tail feathers, and hard red wax-like tips on secondary wing feathers. Almost always seen in flocks.
A thin lisp, tseee.

Open woodlands, orchards, and residential areas.
Breeds from southeastern Alaska east to Newfoundland and south to California, Illinois, and Virginia. Winters from British Columbia, Great Lakes region, and New England southward.
Waxwings spend most of the year in flocks whose movements may be quite erratic. Hundreds will suddenly appear in an area to exploit a crop of berries, only to vanish when that crop is exhausted. Since the young are fed to some extent on small fruits, waxwings tend to nest late in the summer when there is a good supply of berries. Adults store food for the young in the crop, a pouch located in the throat, and may regurgitate as many as 30 choke cherries, one at a time, into the gaping mouths of the nestlings. In summer insects are also taken, the birds hawking for them like flycatchers. These social birds have the amusing habit of passing berries or even apple blossoms from one bird to the next down a long row sitting on a branch, until one bird eats the food.
4-6 blue-gray eggs, spotted with dark brown and black, in a bulky cup of twigs and grass placed in a tree in the open.

I came back to Potrero, Costa Rica, on October 27, a few days after an earthquake and very heavy rainstorms. As usual, it is agony and ecstasy. Everything is green and lush, and animals seem to be flourishing. Each morning, the howler monkeys greet the day with a great noise. Many species of hummingbirds, songbirds, parrots, and jays fly around my yard. The air is cool, for Potrero, only about 87 or 90 during the day, and down to 80 at night, and the breezes are fresh and consistent.
On the other hand, my first days back were difficult because the earthquake had dislodged a giant Guanacaste tree about 100 meters east of my house, and in the heavy rains it fell into the telephone and power lines, snapping a line of four poles in two, for about 150 meters west. Hot wires and transformers were in the road. The electric company came quickly, to restore power, but when they did so, there were explosions in my house because a power surge blew up every single surge protector and the breaker boxes. Ten days and $1,500 later we have power and a new ground system. My car worked well at first, but is now dead because a heat sensor is corroded. It will take a few days, a week, who knows, before the car can be used.

What Makes Serdev Lifts Unique?The Serdev Lift is a non-surgical facelift and body sculpting alternative, as well as the latest thread lift variation on the market. One of the main differences between the Serdev Lift and past thread lifts (Feather Lift, Contour Thread Lift, Curl Lift and Silhouette Thread Lift) is the Serdev Lift's use of resorbable polycaproamide threads, as opposed to non-dissolving polypropylene plastic threads. Serdev Lift sutures are also barb-less, antimicrobial and semi-elastic.
Do the lifting sutures of the Activelift™ last?The Activelift™ is not the same as barbed suture procedures which proved to be unstable and short lived. The ActiveLift™ anchors the sutures within the strong fascia support tissues which lie between the deep levels of the skin and the muscle. These are permanent full strength surgical sutures and do not dissolve or break. Correct placement and suture integrity are important as both help insure proper support and the natural appearance that you wish to maintain. Results last for years instead of months.

Oh, courageous Canada at the U.N.!
Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird gave a very strong speech (embedded at bottom of post) yesterday at the United Nations against the "nonmember" status for "Palestine," in violation of the Oslo Accords.
Canada is following up that rhetoric, Canada recalling diplomats from Israel, West Bank and UN over Palestinian vote:
Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird is temporarily recalling senior diplomats from Israel, the West Bank and the UN missions in New York and Geneva.
He says they will be brought home to assess the implications of the UN General Assembly vote which recognized the Palestinians as a non-member, observer state at the world body.
The minister also says Canada will review its whole relationship with the Palestinian Authority.
Baird says he is deeply disappointed by the UN vote.
He says the only way to peace in the Middle East is through negotiations, not what he called unilateral actions.
Baird calls the General Assembly decision an impediment to peace.
