7. Rent extra glasses.
Town & Country's Brenda Collosi suggests three glasses per person because guests tend to drink different wines or lose track of their glass. (Face it, those wineglass charms don't work once the party starts rolling.) Yes, you could buy cheap glassware from Ikea, but then what? Renting gives you... Anne Cusack / Los Angeles Times

- Conference date: 30 April–3 May 2012
- Location: New Mexico, USA
We employ manipulated ultrafast laser pulses to realize microprocessing with high-performance. Efficient microwelding of glass substrates by irradiation by a double-pulse train of ultrafast laser pulses is demonstrated. The bonding strength of two photostructurable glass substrates welded by double-pulse irradiation was evaluated to be 22.9 MPa, which is approximately 22% greater than that of a sample prepared by conventional irradiation by a single pulse train. Additionally, the fabrication of hollow microfluidic channels with a circular cross-sectional shape embedded in fused silica is realized by spatiotemporally focusing the ultrafast laser beam. We show both theoretically and experimentally that the spatiotemporal focusing of ultrafast laser beam allows for the creation of a three-dimensionally symmetric spherical peak intensity distribution at the focal spot.

Germany is in a slump, everybody says. The economy is growing…but very slowly. Still, the place looks prosperous.
Outside the Petersberg Hotel, a large, luxurious automobile pulled up.
"What is that?" asked a friend.
The car was substantial. It had smooth lines, like a Rolls Royce, but with a modern, sculptured look. On the hood and the trunk were logos that we had never seen before.
"That's a Maybach…it's the new top-of-the-line model from Mercedes. It's a great car, but it's not cheap. This one is about $500,000."
"Right now, Bush has got a comfortable lead," said Chris Ruddy, proprietor of NewsMax.com, over dinner on Saturday. "But the race will probably tighten as it gets closer to the election."
We wondered why the race might tighten; it seemed more likely to us that it might fall apart. The more people get to know the candidates, the more they might turn away in disgust.
The only open question is which one is more reprehensible.
George W. Bush, it is alleged, dodged the draft during the Vietnam War and then failed to fulfill his obligations to the National Guard. That is mostly to his credit. The Vietnam War was a stupid disaster; anyone who was able to get through it with neither blood on his hands — nor on his shroud — was ahead of the game.
But 40 years later, when a new generation of young men's lives are at stake, Bush volunteered the whole nation to undertake a mission as expensive, as foolhardy and maybe more dangerous than Vietnam. Liberals cannot vote for him, because he talks like a "conservative" warmonger. Real conservatives cannot vote for him, because he has taken up the most activist expansion of government since Roosevelt.
But who can they vote for?
John Kerry, on the other hand, reported for duty 40 years ago and tells us so every chance he gets. But as evidence of his wartime service comes to light, it appears his reason for going to war was more political than strategic, more practicable than honorable, more idiotic than patriotic. In other words, it looks as though the man had elections in mind, rather than military service.
Aiming for the White House, the young Kerry apparently hit a Vietnamese teenager in the back. What kind of man would do such a thing? We don't know. But we have a naïve and trusting faith. We believe people get what is coming to them. It is not for us to decide, of course. But though Kerry may or may not spend four years in the Oval Office, an eternity in hell seems more appropriate.
When the votes are tallied in November, one of those not counted will be ours.
We have no dog in this fight. Other Americans are likely to come to the same conclusion.

Incremental Parsing, or Incremental Grammar?
Standard grammar formalisms are defined without reflection of the incremental and serial nature of language processing, and incrementality must therefore be reflected by independently defined parsing and/or generation techniques. We argue that this leads to a poor setup for modelling dialogue, with its rich speaker-hearer interaction, and instead propose context-based parsing and generation models defined in terms of an inherently incremental grammar formalism (Dynamic Syntax), which allow a straightforward model of otherwise problematic dialogue phenomena such as shared utterances, ellipsis and alignment.Article

Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen,
1. I am pleased to extend my cordial greeting to each one of you. Our meeting takes place on account of the initiative you have sponsored that aims at a more detailed study of how to set up an articulated reflection on globalization, solidarity and free economic initiative, on the basis of solid ethical and spiritual values.
I thank Dr Tullio Chiminazzo for his kind words conveying your common sentiments.
I examined with pleasure the programme of the new Ethics and Economy Foundation, and I encourage you to continue your work to integrate into the world of economics the viewpoint and directions of the Magisterium as expressed in the Church's social teaching.
Your institution gathers people from various parts of the world. With your different cultural sensitivities, you share the common determination to combine freedom, development and equity according to the Gospel principles of solidarity. That is more needed now than before in a period that has been deeply affected by social changes.
The Church's social doctrine holds that economic growth must be integrated with other values, so as to become a qualitative growth. As a result it must be just, stable, respectful of cultural and social individuality, as well as ecologically suitable. It cannot be separated from an investment in people, and in the creative and innovative capacity of the individual, who is the basic resource of any society.
3. If the term "global" is to be understood logically, it must include everyone. Thus it forces the nations to eliminate poverty pockets that result from groups that are socially, economically and politically marginalized. This is also true of the frequently emphasized need to ensure "quality". The concept must not merely concern the product but, in the first place, those who produce it. I refer to the need for "total quality", that is, the overall condition of human beings in the process of production.
Only if people are the leading actors and not the slaves of the processes of production, can a business become a real community of individuals. This is a real challenge to the new technologies that have already eased a great part of human toil, and to the direct and especially the indirect employer, that is to say, all the forces that set the direction of finance and the economy.
4. A closer scrutiny makes globalization appear as a basically ambivalent phenomenon, which could be considered as both a kind of potential good for humanity and yet also a possible social disaster of staggering proportions. To give positive bearings to developing globalization, a deep commitment to building a "globalization of solidarity" is needed by means of a new culture, new norms and new institutions at national and international levels. In particular, it will be necessary to intensify the collaboration between politics and the economy, to launch specific projects to safeguard those who might become the victims of globalization processes throughout the world. I am thinking for example, of ways to lighten the heavy burden of the foreign debt of the less developed countries and of legislation to protect children from the exploitation that results from child labour.
Dear brothers and sisters, I express my appreciation of the contribution you would like to offer to solve such major problems. I sincerely hope that your contribution will always be enlightened by the Church's traditional teaching, so that economic freedom may never be separated from the duty of the just distribution of riches. I assure you of my prayers and willingly impart my Blessing to you all.

Today is the 50th anniversary of the beginning of Beatlemania in the United States. On this date, I Want to Hold Your Hand and I Saw her Standing There were released here. The following February, The Beatles would appear on the Ed Sullivan Show three times. I Want to Hold Your Hand quickly risen to the number one spot on the charts and the appearances solidified their popularity.
From the Wikipedia article:
In late 1963, Sullivan and his entourage happened also to be passing through Heathrow and witnessed how The Beatles' fans greeted the group on their return from Stockholm, where they had performed a television show as warmup band to local star Lill Babs. Sullivan was intrigued, telling his entourage it was the same thing as Elvis all over again. He initially offered Beatles manager Brian Epstein top dollar for a single show but the Beatles manager had a better idea—he wanted exposure for his clients: the Beatles would instead appear three times on the show, at bottom dollar, but receive top billing and two spots (opening and closing) on each show.
Here is I Want to Hold Your Hand from their February 9th appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.

New York, New Yo...
i swear. i just don't know how to use my camera in a low light setting yet.
i got the courage to try this vintage mccalls pattern (7827) for an oona does it! challenge that 3 other lovely ladies participated in— i knew they would all make something fabulous so i had to raise my own bar. everyone went for a teal & red palette. though i was stoked about this combo, in the end i couldn't bring myself to add red to this dress (all i could think of was supergirl), but you can see a bit of burgundy in my FABULOUS FIVE DOLLAR SHOES.
i'm sorry. i'm okay.

Having psoriasis doesn't mean you can't work out, but to exercise comfortably you may need to do a little planning before you hit the gym or the running trail. "Two big challenges tend to arise for people with psoriasis when they exercise," says Patty Colman, a member of the Los Angeles Walk to Cure committee for the National Psoriasis Foundation who rarely misses a workout, even when her psoriasis is flaring. "One is that the increased circulation to the skin can make it look especially red and attention-drawing. The other challenge is that your skin can start to feel really hot."
But don't let these minor drawbacks stop you from exercising. The benefits far outweigh them! Here, Colman's tips for staying comfortable with psoriasis while you stay in shape:
Keep covered and cool. Look for loose-fitting workout clothes in thin, lightweight fabrics to help prevent you from overheating. Colman's favorite T-shirts are 93 percent cotton and 7 percent spandex. She buys them one size larger than her usual size so that the sleeves are long and the shirt is comfortable. As for bottoms, "Yoga pants or sweats are perfect," says Colman.
Bottoms up! Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and keep your skin supple and soft.
Have a spritzer. Bring along a spray bottle filled with water and mist your skin if you start feeling hot. "When the psoriasis on my arms is flaring, my skin can feel very tight," says Colman. "Spritzing it with water relieves that feeling."
Camouflage outbreaks. Consider wearing body makeup if you're self-conscious about exposing your skin while you work out. Colman applies Dermablend base makeup to her psoriasis when her skin is flaring. (For more tips on using makeup to conceal psoriasis, see Makeup Magic: Looking Better with Psoriasis.)
Be sun wise. If you're exercising outside, wear sunscreen, but talk to your doctor about how and when to apply it. Some physicians suggest exposing skin to sunlight for a few minutes before putting on sunscreen in order to get some of the healing benefits of ultraviolet rays—but you never want to get a sunburn, which could lead to a flare.
Don't overdo it. Too much exercise can stress the immune system—not a good idea when you have an immune system disorder. Moderate activities such as brisk walking, stationary cycling or swimming for 30 to 60 minutes three or more times a week are usually safe and doable for most people.
Mix it up. Choose activities to accommodate your breakouts. If you usually enjoy yoga, for example, but certain postures put too much pressure on your skin when it's flaring, ask your instructor for alternative moves, or try something that won't put pressure on your skin, such as swimming or jogging (if your feet aren't affected).
Seal in moisture. After your workout, shower and apply body lotion or cream to your skin while it's still damp. This will both soothe your skin and lock in moisture to keep it hydrated. Ask your dermatologist to recommend a good product for your skin.

Yesterday, it was reported that screenwriter Emma Forrest, the up-and-coming scribe behind the excellent and sadly unproduced screenplay "Liars (A-E)" had her memoir optioned a film. Entitled "Your Voice In My Head," the book chronicles a particularly trying time in Forrest's life in which she battled self-destructive behavior and was saved by a compassionate psychiatrist. And while much has been made about her previous relationship with Colin Farrell -- which she was in while she wrote the memoir -- we reached out to Forrest to ask her to clear the air regarding her memoir. And though she was already weary of being misrepresented by the pres...Read More »
Screenwriter Emma Forrest has been on our radar for a while. She featured on our list of "5 Screenwriters About To Hit The Big Time" largely due to the strength of her excellent script "Liars (A-E)," which focused on a woman on the verge of turning 30 who, after she's dumped by her rock star boyfriend on election night, decides to travel to Obama's inauguration with her younger best friend, stopping along the way to take back gifts she'd given all her ex-boyfriends. At one point, the film was set up with Richard Linklater directing and Kat Dennings and Rebecca Hall set to star but -- blast you movie gods! -- the project fell apart. The script...Read More »

Is Cora a "black name"? Is Ivy an Asian name?
Trying to put this is the least offensive way and not really knowing how...I've always loved the name Cora but I just saw the movie Django and one of the slaves in it was named Cora. Then I google imaged it and a bunch of the girls that came up were African-American. I'm not a racist but if there's a name that's traditionally used for a different race than mine than I try to avoid it. Is Cora a black name?
On the same kind of note, is Ivy an Asian name? Ivy is the name of the Chinese American Girl doll and I saw somewhere that Ivy is used a lot more by Asian-American parents. Would you picture an Ivy as Asian?
Sorry if this is offensive to anybody, I'm trying to put it the best way I can!
May 5th, 2013 09:13 PM #3
I have never considered either of these names being tied to any nationality or ethnicity. Both lovely names.

Ack!!! I just typed a post and saved it and it disappeared! ?!?!?!?!?
The only Cora I know is a 20something white woman and the only Ivy I ever met was a friend of my grandmother's (not Asian). That said, it has been explained to me, that when choosing English names for themselves when studying or in English speaking countries, Asians favour flower names and names from favourite novels (like Anne of Green Gables they said). There were 3 Chinese Lilys on my residence floor at university, before Lily became a popular name for babiesMommy to John Alexander & 3 furbabies; Maggie the dog, Rex & Bella the wannabe lions

Political chatter from DC and NYC, the amNewYork way
Stevie wonders, Who'll win election?
By Dan
The BlackBerry's dying as Stevie Wonder takes the stage.
Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine reminded the crowd how lucky we are that he was passed over for veep. He quoted the Gospel of Matthew about mustard seeds and mountains. And he touched on his work in Honduras during law school, before leading the crowd in a chant of "Move Mountain."
Gov. Bill Richardson took the stage next and reminded us that he really wants to be Secretary of State. He delivered a good line about McCain paying "hundreds of dollars for his shoes but we're the ones who will pay for his flip-flops" on any number of issues, including what is and is not torture.
Richardson went on to remind the crowd about what's at stake in this election for union members and the Constitution, civil liberties, the war on terrorism and securing loose nukes.
He ended by asking, "Is anyone going to miss Dick Cheney?" To which the entire stadium responded in unison, "NO!"
The stadium is filling up quickly as we wait for the nights all-stars to come and speak.
More after the parties end tonight!

|Gwënniê®'s Inconsequential Living
Of her incessant grouses, inane ramblings and endless paranoia
Whenever blurty is down these days, i'll wonder if it's down for good or will it recover. Will i get back those many years of memories, mostly mundane and only some significant? Or if i'm meant to start on a clean slate, all over again.
To recap my rather short trip to LCQ and Paris, France.
Do not do any transactions online when you are not feeling 101%.
(1 doodle | round the dipsy doodle)
Well, go figure.
I'm pretty disgusted and disturbed to see ants piling on mucus/phlegm coz it makes me wonder what 'food' is available in that gooey pile of mess that they liked so much/could eat?
I know that change is the only constant but just how many damn times do you want to change?!?!?!?!?!? It's just a friggin date fgs!!!!!!!
I am beyond tired as i type this out, what with it being the start of a frantic two-month of nightmare coupled with it being that-time-of-the-month week, i am totally bushed. In fact, bushed is an understatement. Except that my mind is a total blank now to think of a more appropriate word to describe what i am feeling now *yawn*
2013, while an awesome year of kinship and travel, hasn't at all been all that good especially health-wise and so i am more than glad that it is coming to an end soon. May 2014 be full of and brings good health, happiness & contentment to myself and everybardy out there.
An early one...
(1 doodle | round the dipsy doodle)
Two random bit of news put me in my place and things into perspectives.
Because i'm in one of those very rare good mood and this is also one of those experiences that i need to document down and so here i am.
The pesky pest of a cockroach scored another one on me again when it crawled on my arm at 4 in the morning of Wednesday while i was in light sleep mode (coz i was dreaming). I woke up feeling something on my arm and as i sat up with my body slightly turned to the right, i saw the shadow of one yucky roach scuttling away down into the stuff near my bed. For that stunned moment as i tried to wake myself up from slumber, i just sat there unmoving. Later on, as my brain started to wake, i went to the bathroom to wash my arm and then got the insecticide out and sprayed. And sprayed. And sprayed. As lightly as i could without waking my aunt and suffocating the two of us with the fumes. I doubted that i managed to kill the roach (as long i don't see the carcass, i cannot bring myself to believe that it is dead) and so have been sleeping amidst paranoia and worry for the past few nights, hoping that i don't get a repeat of what happened. So much so that i sprayed the room for two consecutive nights until the aunt told me to stop it last night lest we kill ourselves breathing in too much of the insecticide. Which i acquisced but i kept with the spraying on the ledge that connects the kitchen with the living room and the entrance to the bedroom, with the hope that i would at least stop the roach from crawling in. And keeping my fingers crossed that none that is already hidden in the room would crawl onto me again while i sleep.
It's not something pleasant (as you can figure from the subject) coz i "smoked" myself with insecticide as i tried to kill this particular roach that crawled out on the table onto my laptop screen and towards the cover. Well i couldn't spray insecticide on the laptop obviously and so had to wait out till it crawled away to some other part of the table, unplug the laptop from the adaptor, bring the laptop onto my bed and pull the adapter and wire away before i started spraying. Nonstop. Everywhere. At every crevices and nooks possible. Until i managed to "smoke" out the damn pest and it wriggle and wilt to death outside on the kitchen map.

The most amazing and magical moment of my time in the States was during our drive back from the Palisades to Coral Sands Motel at West Sunset Boulevard on the 4th of July, where we saw fireworks lit up in the sky from every corner of LA (it was neverending!) and like the excited kids we were, we kept pointing and shouting "there" "there" in the car and poor CS who was the driver had to keep his eye on the darkened highway road and couldn't turn his head at every of our single excited point and shout. So much so that he had to request that we stop "there" "there"-ing and state where exactly (in terms of the clock-hands movement) whenever we saw the next fireworks up in the sky as he drove us back.

If the title sounds/reads familiar, translate it to Hokkien and you'll get it.
I may not have a wide circle of friends but i am heartened that the few whom i know felt that i am a good-enough friend (to them) to be let in on their big news: one with a wedding (or a ROM to be precise) to come and another with a third BB along the way. And yes, they have since 'announced' it publicly now but to be in the loop of first-hand news back then really gave me a warm feeling through and through (:
I have dinner (food) at tea time and yes i am done with dinner for Sunday already.
CNY 2013 came and gone and boy am i glad that it is over. The pre leading up saw me busy with work and somehow being tired and puffy-eyed almost every single day despite sleeping and waking around the same time. Then there were the massive spring-cleaning that spanned across four Saturdays and knowing me as you do, i absolutely LOATHED spring-cleaning to the max; it doesn't help that i'm a hoarder and the custom-built furniture meant that it's home to pests (namely ants and roaches) which meant that it's hell to clean and clear up. Have i mentioned how much i hate roaches? And that i got multiple ant bites all over my legs which itched like crazy and leaves awful looking scars?
2012 has been a tumultuous year, full of ups and downs and more downs than up, which make me glad that we are at the tail end of it with the new year in sight.
Until i get in the mood to review my achievements (or non-achievements) of my 2012 resolutions, here's a short and sweet one for 2013.

(KTSF by Hellas Leung)
The weather service is forecasting rain for the rest of this week in the Bay Area.
For San Francisco 's Chinatown , this could mean flooding in many stores that are below street level.
Mr. Lee, who manages a Chinese restaurant on Jackson Street, said he is used to flooding.
He adds that when the rain is very heavy, the water will come into the dining area from the kitchen and " some customers eat here with their legs soaking in water ."
The staff uses towels to help absorb the water. Lee says the restaurant has a machine to help dredge the blocked drainage.

"We've had a lot of big wins since we have been here," Griffith said. "Every year when you make the playoffs there are big wins. Anytime you can beat a county rival it is a big win. When you get a signature win against a team like Briarwood – I am just tickled to death for our kids and I am tickled to death for the community of Sylacauga.
"This community deserves a win like this. I guarantee you it is a great place to live and it is a great place to go to school. Our kids did everything that we asked them to and they did even above that. They deserve all the credit."
The Aggies were able to jump out on the Lions 14-0 in the first quarter.
After stalling on the first drive of the game, the Aggies turned to their defense to make a play. Briarwood's first possession of the game started at Sylacauga's 15 yard line. On the first play of the drive, Briarwood's George Shamblin was stripped of the football by a Sylacauga defender and the ball was recovered by Chase Landers at the Briarwood 10 yard line.
Sylacauga didn't waste any time capitalizing off the Lions' miscue. On second and goal Hunter Johns went back to pass. The junior pumped faked to the right side, but he didn't have anywhere to throw the football. Johns extended the play by going to his left and sprinting to the left pylon untouched for a nine-yard touchdown. The PAT by Colin Shannon was good to make it 7-0.
The Aggies were able to get on the board again with 1:31 left in the quarter. Sylacauga put together a seven-play, 66-yard drive for a touchdown. TJ Smith capped off the drive with a 30-yard run. The PAT was good to make it 14-0.
The Lions responded with a 61-yard drive for a touchdown with 8:37 left before halftime. Stewart Wilkinson found Samuel Morris for a 10-yard touchdown to make it 14-6.
Shannon gave the Aggies a 17-6 lead with 1:29 remaining in the half with a 23-yard field goal.
Briarwood's offense gained momentum after the first scoring drive as they were able to drive down to the Aggies 29 yard line right before halftime, but Sylacauga's defense forced the Lions to turn the ball over on downs.
The Lions finally got things going late in the third quarter as they scored 14 unanswered points.
A Harlan Bailey interception gave the Lions life late in the third quarter. Briarwood took over at the Aggies' 41 yard line. Wilkinson connected with Brayden Housel for a 41-yard touchdown reception a few plays later to cut the Aggies 17-13 with 1:52 left in the third.
The Aggies gave the football right back to Lions on their first play of the ensuing possession. Floyd was hit hard by a Briarwood defender, which forced the football to come out at the Sylacauga 20 yard line. The Lions capitalized on the Sylacauga mistake right away. Wilkinson connected with Daniel Roberts, who broke an arm tackle and bulled his way into the end zone from nine yards out. The two-point conversion was good to give the Lions a 20-17 lead with 53.7 seconds left in the third quarter.
"You have to give Sylacauga all the credit," Briarwood head coach Fred Yancey said. "They played really well and they beat us. They came out and played very well. They didn't make many mistakes. I give them credit for being a well-coached team that played well."
The Aggies responded with an 80-yard drive to go ahead 24-20 with 9:25 left in the game. The key play of the drive came on pass attempt by St. Johns, which fell incomplete. After the play, the Lions were whistled for a roughing the passer penalty and unsportsmanlike conduct foul. Both infractions were 15-yard penalties, which gave Sylacauga the football at the Lions' 35 yard line. Johns called his number on the next play for a 10-yard gain.
A few plays later Johns connected with TJ Smith on a fourth down conversion to set up first and goal from the 6. Floyd scored on a run right up the middle for the touchdown. The PAT was good to make it 24-20 with 9:24 left in the game.
"Our kids are doing a great job of handling adversity," Griffith said. " I think that goes back to the summer when we made a conscious effort of doing things in the weight room to put our kids in adverse situations and preach to them to rise through it. It is a long season, you never know how kids will react, but tonight they handled it really well."
After forcing a three and out, the Aggies had a chance to put the game away, but they turned the football over on downs at the Briarwood 28 yard line with 3:29 left in the game.
A pass interference call on the first play of the drive gave the Lions the football at their 44 yard line. The Aggies' defense stiffened after that play. The Aggies' defensive linemen were able to tip passes on first and third down. On fourth down, Austin Masters came around right edge and forced Wilkerson to fumble, which was recovered by Sylacauga to seal their first ever win over Briarwood.
Floyd led the Aggies with 31 carries for 115 yards and a touchdown. Johns rushed for 112 yards and touchdown on 20 carries.

'Thoroughly researched and clearly written, this book makes an important contribution to Calvin studies. It explores in depth and often with unprecedented insight the central place of union with Christ in his applied soteriology and demonstrates convincingly, with significant implications, just how controlling is its basic union - twofold grace (of justification and sanctification) structure.'

This season, Chuck is in luck: The government's new Intersect II is ready for espionage service. And that means the old Intersect (Chuck) can go back to his old life. But if Chuck goes, he's gone: Casey has orders to off him. In this series, named one of Time's 10 Best of 2008, Chuck survives to battle perilous plots, enemy agents and Buy More's obnoxious new assistant manager, Emmett Milbarge (recurring guest star Tony Hale, Arrested Development), in the comedy- and action-packed Season Two. Here's some of what's up: Sarah's past is revealed, Morgan almost becomes mature, and Captain Awesome and Ellie plan the Big Day. Plus our unlikely hero rockets into more nonstop butt-kicking, techno-gadgeting, Chuck-dangling-several-stories-above-the-pavement action, as long as no one needs help setting up e-mail!
No more Mr. Nice Spy! Chuck is back and he's the Chuck you know: the hapless Nerd Herder hopelessly devoted to sexy super spy Sarah. And he's the Chuck you don't know: a master martial artist whose brain is locked and loaded with the new Intersect 2.0. How the two Chucks clash, bash and (sometimes) cooperate makes Season Three total, action-packed fun. More new stuff: A dashing rival (Brandon Routh) joins the team, someone from Chuck's Buy More life discovers his secret and Chuck learns the spy biz can turn the nicest guy dark and dangerous. "For the last two years, we've protected Chuck from the world," the General notes. "But now we have to protect the world from Chuck."
The 'Chuck' star tells us what to expect with the new relationship as well as finding Chuck's mom.
From executive producer, Josh Schwartz (The O.C.) and executive producer-director McG (Charlie's Angels, We Are Marshall) comes a one-hour, action-comedy series about Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi, Less Than Perfect) -- a computer geek who is catapulted into a new career as the government's most vital secret agent. When Chuck opens an e-mail subliminally encoded with government secrets, he unwittingly downloads an entire server of sensitive data into his brain. Now, the fate of the world lies in the unlikely hands of a guy who works at a Buy More Electronics store. Instead of fighting computer viruses, he must now confront assassins and international terrorists.
This high-concept action comedy follows Chuck Bartowski as the Buy More computer geek turned secret agent. When Chuck unwittingly downloads a database of government information and deadly fighting skills into his head...
An interview with Chuck star Zach Levi and a special preview clip from Season 2.

Also starring are Joshua Gomez, Sarah Lancaster, Ryan McPartlin, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Vik Sahay, Scott Krinsky and Julia Ling.

environmental systems must be compatible with current ship space, weight, power, and other variables, which may limit the types of waste treatment facilities that can be used.
The operational environment of warships is quite different from that of commercial ships. Typical mission duration is 30 to 60 days for surface ships and several months for submarines. Passenger and cargo ships are rarely out of port for more than a few days at a time. Consequently, storage of wastes on Navy ships is much more of a problem than it is for commercial vessels. Storage of significant amounts of flammable waste material (paper and plastic) is a problem in any case but a particular problem in combat operations. Navy surface ships are resupplied at sea frequently (perhaps twice a week). There is a regular stream of foodstuffs, fuel, and other materials coming aboard with their accompanying packaging materials. Thus, the waste material continues to build up while the ships are at sea. The kinds of waste materials depend to some extent on class of ship. For example, amphibious support ships have extensive medical facilities to handle injured troops and therefore generate quantities of medical waste. Repair ships tend to generate wastes similar to those from industrial plants. In general, however, Annex V wastes will be similar from ship to ship and the quantities will scale with the ship's complement.
Submarines are quite different from surface ships. Typically, submarines deploy with all required supplies and do not have at-sea replenishment, often returning to the same port at the end of their tour. Because of their serious space limitations, submarine crews will generally eliminate all unnecessary packaging material as the ship is loaded. Other major differences between surface ships and submarines come from the very different environment in which they operate. Surface ships have access to the atmosphere, providing unlimited amounts of air to support incineration of wastes and providing a sink for the discharge of combustion gases. In submarines, air is limited and incineration of waste impractical. Space aboard submarines is especially tight, and acoustic silence is a fact of life. For these reasons, submarine management has carefully controlled the amount and kind of material brought on board.
In addition to the technological methods that can be used to enable compliance with Annex V, there are a number of significant issues that are essentially management matters. Although the committee was brought together for technical input, several members have management experience in environmental areas, both civilian and Navy. Therefore, in this section the committee makes observations that are not technological in character but are important in the successful management of the technologies chosen to achieve compliance.
A successful program for environmental compliance will be difficult to achieve unless clear-cut commitment and objectives are articulated from the top of the Navy command, supported by all levels of officers and implemented by orientation and training of officers and crew. The importance of the environmental mission must be reflected in visible aspects of the naval organization. In a sense, environmental responsibility has become the price of access to waters in which the Navy must provide a forward presence under peacetime conditions.
In view of the ship-specific nature of environmental compliance, captains should receive environmental orientation just before they assume command of a ship. The orientation should cover all aspects of the ship's environmental systems and include other officers, specifically the ship's engineering and supply officers. Noncommissioned officers should also be involved. The command staff should be made aware of Annex V regulations and of details and limitations of the ship's waste management system. This is akin to what chemical industry plant managers have to master before being given responsibility for a chemical plant's emissions. A formal orientation program allows the captain and the principal officers to issue appropriate directives to the crew and makes a statement about the captain's support for the program. At the same time, training and tracking programs should be initiated.

Jimmy the pol
February 25, 2009 - John Stack
I know that even the people we put into office that we truly admire, we still know they are politicians. They will exaggerate their accomplishments, and minimize their shortcomings. They will also often be for or against some proposal for seemingly no reason at all, except politics. This is what we get with items such as the stimulus bill. Does virtually EVERY Republican not support the bill? Does every Democrat actually support the bill?
But, Jim Tedisco he's a POLITICIAN. How else do you describe being in the assembly for 25 years, always in the minority party? How many important bills have you heard of that were championed and passed over the last 25 years in the Assembly by Republicans? How many bills passed the state Senate during that time that was sponsored and finished by a Democrat? Reading his website is almost enough to make one giggle uncontrollably. His list of accomplishments reads like 'created' 'authorized' 'established' and 'passed'. What exactly do these things mean? He was not the sponsor of nearly any item on his whole campaign website. he happened to vote for something when it came across his desk. And, if something passed the assembly, it sure had to have a majority of Democratic support. So, is he taking credit for voting with the Bemocrats in the Assembly?
A couple of his 'accomplishments' are for most people, actually failures. He trumpets his support for the creation of the STAR program. On thing the STAR program has done is give school districts cover to raise their tax levy without burdening the taxpayers via their tax rates. But, and perceived tax decrease for all but the lowest valued homes evaporated almost a decade ago. Jimmy also trumpets the 'STAR rebate' – a pure political PORK gimmick handed out to taxpayers just before elections (I'd hide under a rock rather than trumpet that).
The biggest political prevarication though is his claim he doesn't know how . or won't say how, he would have voted on the Federal stimulus plan. Let me break the suspense for you – He would have voted AGAINST the plan! NO House Republicans voted for the plan, and only 3 GOP members voted for it in the Senate. Now, Jim knows where his bread is buttered. He's a minority leader, and other than being the 'loyal opposition' and being a hindrance to the majority, he twists arms to get the members to vote the party line. The chances of him voting for the stimulus package are about as good as Rush Limbaugh throwing Al Franken a birthday party.
He'll probably win the 20th (hey, where is the Hillary haters and the shouts of carpetbagging?). But, the District and the state will suffer. He'll go from minority leader in the State Assembly, to minority paean in the house. What on Earth will he get done or passed for

KakaoHome launcher for Android released, think Facebook Home for KakaoTalk users
Facebook Home – the alternative Android launcher that was announced last month to much fanfare, isn't doing particularly well. Actually, few people seem to like it, judging by the app's 2.2-star rating on Google Play, and the potential discontinuation of the HTC First "Facebook phone" due to weak demand. But all that, apparently, isn't stopping other companies providing social networking services from following suit.
The guys behind KakaoTalk – a cross-platform IM application popular in Korea, have announced the launch of KakaoHome. As you can probably tell, it substitutes the default UI on the Android device it is installed on with an interface that KakaoTalk features deeply integrated into it. Extra widgets are thrown in as well. Days after its launch, the rating of KakaoHome at Google Play stands at 4.1, meaning that most people dig it.
well-made Android launchers, but the concept of using one that's focused solely on a particular service – be it Facebook, KakaoTalk, or whatever, may be what users don't feel comfortable with.
KakaoHome is currently available only to users in Korea, with no word as to when it might launch in other markets. As of this writing, the service boasts over 90 million users worldwide.

Operational Update, Nov. 6: Afghan-International Security Force Detains Taliban Facilitator in Kandahar; ISAF Casualties
By SOF Editor on Fri, 11/06/2009 - 12:20pm
Printer Friendly VersionSend to a FriendAn Afghan-international security force detained a group of suspected militants in Kandahar Province, including a senior Taliban facilitator, Thursday. The senior Taliban facilitator detained is believed to be responsible for financing and placing suicide bombers and IEDs in the area. This facilitator is also linked to Taliban leadership outside of the country. The joint security force targeted a compound near the village of Spin Kalacheh, southwest of Kandahar City, after intelligence indicated militant activity. The joint force searched the compound without incident and detained five suspected militants, one of which surrendered and identified himself as the Taliban facilitator. No shots were fired, and no one was injured. Afghan and international security forces constantly partner personnel and resources to prevent attacks against civilians and eliminate the Taliban threat by constant pursuit and the promotion of reconciliation. ISAF Casualties Two International Security Assistance Force service members were killed and another service member died of wounds in two separate IED strikes in southern Afghanistan yesterday. It is ISAF policy to defer identification procedures of casualties to the relevant national authorities. The two service members killed were from the United States.

Although U.S. credit card debt is well below its 2008 peak, the total amount of debt in America rose in April 2011. According to the latest report from the U.S. Federal Reserve on June 7, 2011, the figure is up $6.3 billion over March. The April figures for consumer credit show mixed trends: total debt is up, revolving credit card debt is down, and non-revolving loans are up substantially over the previous month's figures.
The Federal Reserve reports that total credit card debt has fallen $1 billion, from $791.1 billion in March to $790.1 billion in April 2011. Since the economic crisis in 2008, credit card debt has fallen consistently on these monthly tables, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.
Consumers in general are eager to reduce their debt, and that attitude has been reflected in a consistent drop in the amount of revolving debt over the past three years in spite of an economic climate in which it's become easier to secure credit.
Non-revolving debt, on the other hand, has seen a substantial jump this month, rising $7.2 billion to $1,638.1 billion in April. The Federal Reserve attributes this increase to students returning to school in the fall and a rising demand for automobile loans, both promising signs of a recovering economy.
However, April marks the seventh month in a row that non-revolving debt figures have risen - a sign that consumers may be moving debt into bank loans in order to avoid credit card interest rates, without actually decreasing their amount of debt.
Might some of these consumers be better off considering low APR balance transfer credit cards as a way to offset their remaining debt? Every financial situation is unique, but zero-interest credit cards do offer a viable alternative to bank loans.
