Addressing the controversy over pat-downs of children last month, TSA regional security director James Marchand told the press the TSA was working on new practices to make children more comfortable during the pat-down process.
"You try to make it as best you can for that child to come through. If you can come up with some kind of a game to play with a child, it makes it a lot easier," said Marchand, promising to make it part of TSA training.
[Ken] Wooden [a child safety expert], who has testified before Congress on child safety issues on numerous occasions, says he was told by a TSA agent that the practice has been used.
Telling a child that they are engaging in a game is "one of the most common ways" that sexual predators use to convince children to engage in inappropriate contact, Wooden told Raw Story.
Children "don't have the sophistication" to distinguish between a pat-down carried out by an airport security officer and an assault by a sexual predator, he said.
The TSA policy could "desensitize children to inappropriate touch and ultimately make it easier for sexual offenders to prey on our children," Wooden added.

I'm having issues implementing a humble tweet button on my site using Angular. I've done some research and found some solutions for an AJAX site using jQuery but as far as I can tell using the solution (below) would involve running script outside of a controller, and would therefore be non-Angular and A Bad Thing.
Has anyone solved this problem in an Angular way or have any tips on how to?
Solution for AJAX:
//adding button to dom
$('#tweetbutton').append('Tweet');
//loading widgets
$.getScript('//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js', function(){
//calling method load

Like all of Almodovar's films, this one is filled with bright colors, deep emotions and complex characters.
It's hard to describe the non-linear plot which has you trying to work out exactly what's real, what's fiction, and who's who, without giving too much away.
The story is about Enrique and Ignacio, two childhood friends at a Catholic school who fall in love with one another.
Strongly opinionated film, practically a poster. Very powerful, perhaps controversial yet absolutely sincere.Published 1 day ago by Anna Dobretsova
a wonderful, thought-provoking film from Almodovar, a brilliant performance from Bernal and a beautiful looking bluray. Who could ask for anything more?Published 29 days ago by L. Hebert

FRONTIER AIRLINES: Kate O'Malley
(730) 374-4560; email@example.com
TRENTON, N.J. - Less than a month after he announced the addition of service to St. Augustine, Florida, Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes today announced that Frontier Airlines will expand its low-fare service at Trenton-Mercer Airport in Ewing to 17 destinations with the addition of nonstop flights to St. Louis, Minneapolis and Milwaukee beginning June 13, 2014. To celebrate this announcement, Frontier is offering ultra-low fares starting at $55 each way to St. Louis; $59 each way to Milwaukee, and $75 each way to Minneapolis through Feb. 23, 2014.
"Never before in its history has Trenton-Mercer Airport offered this number and variety of destinations, and we are thrilled with Frontier's plan to further expand its network of destinations by adding St. Louis, Milwaukee and Minneapolis," Hughes said.
In fall 2013, Mercer County's Trenton-Mercer Airport underwent a rapid, multi-million-dollar overhaul, the bulk of it paid for through federal grant dollars. The airport reopened Nov. 8 and is earning high marks from the traveling public.
"It took a great team effort to complete our renovations within the tight two-month window," Hughes said, "and we are thrilled that Frontier Airlines continues to expand its slate of destinations from Trenton-Mercer Airport."
Frontier is the only airline providing scheduled service out of Trenton-Mercer Airport, the gateway to New Jersey's state capital, all of central New Jersey, and southeast Pennsylvania, including metro Philadelphia. In addition to St. Augustine, St. Louis, Milwaukee and Minneapolis, Frontier offers nonstop service from Trenton-Mercer Airport to Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago-Midway, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Indianapolis, Nashville, Orlando, Raleigh-Durham and Tampa.
Conveniently located near Exit 2 on I-95, Trenton-Mercer Airport avoids the hassles, delays and lines often found at other Northeast airports. For more information or to purchase a Frontier flight, visit www.FlyFrontier.com, where Frontier guarantees you will find the best travel value for Frontier flights.

It doesn't matter if you're Don Juan or Don Knotts -- picking up women takes effort, so it's infuriating when someone swoops in and steps on your game.
If you've ever been to a rave and thought, "The 20-somethings here are just too old," well, have we got news for you.
Bring on the waterworks! Justin Timberlake was recently brought to tears at a concert he played at Brooklyn's Barclays Center after a gift from a young fan moved him so immensely he took a cue from one of his own songs -- 'Cry Me A River.'
Chris Martin helped celebrate the release of the film 'Unbroken' with a surprise performance of Coldplay's newest track, 'Miracles.'
Los Angeles last experienced a tornado in 2004. Before Twitter, Vine, or Instagram. I'm sure folks were blogging about the experience on Xanga but that's about it.
Now, thanks to the wonder that is social media, we have a pretty insane look at the first tornado to hit L
Angelina Jolie released a video to her fans & supports explaining why she'll be out of the public's eye for a little while.
She'll be missing a few premieres for the movie she directed entitled "Unbroken", because she's battling sickness.

Britney Spears may be one of the world's biggest pop stars, but she also has the full-time job of being the mother of her two sons – something the singer frequently documents on her Twitter. Britney gave a shout out to all her fellow mamas out there when she posted a hilarious parody of Taylor Swift's hit 'Blank Space.'
Today (Dec. 15), Rihanna posted a selfie on her Instagram and captioned it, "In transit." What's in transition exactly? RiRi's hair! The picture shows the singer sporting a glamorous, much deeper shade of red these days.
Jay Z joined Justin Timberlake on stage for one killer performance of 'Holy Grail,' but all eyes were on Taylor Swift and Beyonce.
Maybe those cat ears Ariana Grande has been sporting as of late have been giving the pop star nine lives, because after her near wing collision at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, the singer has dodged a tumble once again.

Detecting positive selection from genome scans of linkage disequilibrium

Though a variety of linkage disequilibrium tests have recently been introduced to measure the signal of recent positive selection, the statistical properties of the various methods have not been directly compared. While most applications of these tests have suggested that positive selection has played an important role in recent human history, the results of these tests have varied dramatically.
Here, we evaluate the performance of three statistics designed to detect incomplete selective sweeps, LRH and iHS, and ALnLH. To analyze the properties of these tests, we introduce a new computational method that can model complex population histories with migration and changing population sizes to simulate gene trees influenced by recent positive selection. We demonstrate that iHS performs substantially better than the other two statistics, with power of up to 0.74 at the 0.01 level for the variation best suited for full genome scans and a power of over 0.8 at the 0.01 level for the variation best suited for candidate gene tests. The performance of the iHS statistic was robust to complex demographic histories and variable recombination rates. Genome scans involving the other two statistics suffer from low power and high false positive rates, with false discovery rates of up to 0.96 for ALnLH. The difference in performance between iHS and ALnLH, did not result from the properties of the statistics, but instead from the different methods for mitigating the multiple comparison problem inherent in full genome scans.
We introduce a new method for simulating genealogies influenced by positive selection with complex demographic scenarios. In a power analysis based on this method, iHS outperformed LRH and ALnLH in detecting incomplete selective sweeps. We also show that the single-site iHS statistic is more powerful in a candidate gene test than the multi-site statistic, but that the multi-site statistic maintains a low false discovery rate with only a minor loss of power when applied to a scan of the entire genome. Our results highlight the need for careful consideration of multiple comparison problems when evaluating and interpreting the results of full genome scans for positive selection.

Helios is a Sun Position Calculator that graphically represents the position of the sun from dusk to dawn, on any given day, in any given place.
Designed as an aid to Cinematographers and Stills Photographers working in natural light, Helios is essential to anyone who needs to plan a day around the constantly changing character of sunlight. Helios works without a network connection, though some functions are enhanced when connected to the internet.
Gaffers, Grips, Location Managers, Production Designers and First Assistant Directors will already be aware of the value of this information. Other professionals, from Architects and Surveyors to Electricians and Landscape Gardeners can now predict sun exposure in the field, without the need for complex tables or graphs. This information can be emailed and then printed from within the application.
Helios operates in 6 modes:
HelioMeter - representing the direction of the sun on a compass dial, also indicating elevation and shadow length.
Virtual Sun View - showing the sun's path overlaid onto the camera image
Map View - showing the direction of the sun overlaid onto a map of the location
Sky View - a representation of the sun's path across the sky
Inclinometer- determines at which times the sun will be at a certain elevation.
Compass - showing the azimuth of the sun in both degrees and time of day
While the accelerometer (inclinometer) and magnetometer (digital compass) of your iPhone are reasonably accurate, we think it wise to keep a high quality analogue device like the Suunto Tandem on hand for critical readings of elevation and azimuth.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug that was affecting some people in the map View.
Fixed bug with magnetic declination and the map view.
Fixed orientation issue in Heliometer
Fixed compass in VR view which as pointing in the wrong direction.
Redesigned from scratch. This is definitely an update worth getting.
Clarification of Virtual Sun View for non Gyro device users.
Major update. New Virtual Sun view allows you to see the sun path over the camera.
Bug Fixes
Fixed issues resulting from app staying in background with multitasking.
Fixed bug showing wrong direction in Line View.
Bug fixes related to peculiarities of OS 4.0;
Fixed bug with sending mail on 4.0;
Added a new view in SkyView that gives you a 3 dimensional view of the sun in the sky. It's neat have a look.
Added high-rez support for retina screens on iphone 4.
Added the ability to find a location by using a map. Look in add location to find the new option.
Added a swipe function to the navigation button to help you move around.
You can now change position by scrolling the map.
Navigation tweaks.
New Magnetic Declination Data.
Nothing exciting. Bug fixes.
With a complete overhaul of the interface, it's now much easier to jump from between the four views. And it looks nicer too.
We've added:
sunlight direction superimposed over a map of your location in SkyMap View.
elevation and shadow length indicator in SkyMap View
a compass in Clinometer View that reads in time of day.
a new in-app comprehensive Users Guide.
We hope you like the improvements.
Fixes the problem some people were having on 3.0 os.
New Features:
By popular request preferences now allow you to always start at current time as well as date.
Jump to current time in Skyview by holding time down.
Removed limitations on entering gps coordinates for locations greater than 70 degrees north and south (although, boy that's going to be cold)
Bug fixes for favorites and ipod touch users.
By popular request you can now jump to the current location time and date without leaving the heliometer.
Simply touch and hold the time, the location and the date to instantly jump to the current location, date and time.
Also some bug fixes.
Now you can use the internal compass with the 3GS.
Clock added to Inclinometer view
Bug fixes.
This is a major upgrade with new features specifically requested by our users. We thank you all for your helpful and patient suggestions.
Skyview has been completely rewritten to make it interactive. You can now use a time slider to observe the path of the sun throughout the day in 2 minute intervals. This now gives people 3 completely different ways to look at the sun data.
By azimuth (the heliometer),
By time (the skyview)
By elevation (inclinometer view).
Skyview should be the default at the equator as the azimuth often doesn't change enough to make clear distinctions possible on the Heliometer.
You can now choose to start in the skyview automatically in the preferences.
Choosing a timezone in the custom longitude and latitude has been rewritten to make it much more intuitive. Simply choose a country and then the appropriate timezone.
Fix for Glasgow in the middle of summer.
Sun representation near the equator has been completely reworked. Heliometer works from seamlessly Alaska to Kenya (inclinometer, tables and skyview always did).
Our European Friends can now have the date the way hey like it via the prefrerences.
Choose to start at current date automatically.
Fix for Am/PM
You can now send an email from the application with full sun data for a day and location. This can be used for printing, call sheets and to distribute to other people on the crew.
Application preferences now lets you switch from 24 to 12 hour clock and turn off the magnetic declination offset. You can therefore use true north as well as magnetic north.
Changing the date now has a shortcut for current date.
Click on the time on the HelioMeter and you can chose to jump to a precise time without moving the sun.
Display of data for places nearer the poles has been fixed. Helios now understands if the sun sets after midnight and displays the correct length of day.
New Inclinometer view of sun data. Now you can use the internal accelerometer to calculate when the sun will rise or set over a mountain or building and estimate when light will enter a window.
Shadow Factor was tweaked to be visually proportionate and allow you to better guess shadow lengths.
Interface tweaks.

Online university recognized in annual guide for best educational options for active-duty service members, veterans, military spouses, and dependents
SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Western Governors University (WGU), www.wgu.edu, has been included in the 2013 Guide to Military-Friendly Colleges & Universities by Military Advanced Education for the sixth consecutive year. Initiated in 2008, the annual guide recognizes institutions that provide the best educational options and fit for military service members, veterans, and their families.
Nonprofit and online, WGU was selected as a military-friendly school based on factors of particular interest to service members such as academic support and quality, flexibility, accessibility, and financial assistance. WGU's competency-based learning model lets students complete program requirements based on their prior work experience and academic knowledge, allowing them to accelerate through things they already know so they can focus on what they still need to learn.
WGU's programs are highly portable and easily accessible; students can access coursework and learning resources 24/7 from anywhere with an Internet connection. Airman 1st Class Ben Engel of the Air National Guard is a WGU student earning a bachelor's degree in marketing management. He says that at a traditional brick-and-mortar school there isn't much flexibility and it's common for service members to have to drop classes mid-semester for work or other priorities. "With WGU I don't have to worry—life can change at a moment's notice and I don't have to stress about it. If I get deployed, or have to travel, or go on a training mission, I can get online and work on my courses no matter where I am," Engel said. In addition to accessibility, all students are supported by one-on-one mentors through their entire degree program.
As a military-friendly institution, WGU is an affordable option for military families. Tuition for most programs is about $6,000 per year. Students who can devote additional time to their studies can accelerate their program, saving both time and money. WGU's online degree programs are approved for tuition assistance for active-duty, reserve, and National Guard personnel. Veterans are eligible for education benefits through the G.I. Bill. Because of WGU's modest tuition, veterans will generally be eligible for benefits that more than cover the full cost of tuition, fees, and books. Additionally, WGU offers several scholarships specifically for active-duty personnel, reservists, veterans, and military spouses.
WGU offers 55 accredited online bachelor's and master's degree programs in the fields of business, information technology, teacher education, and health professions, including nursing. Terms are six months long and can begin on the first day of any month.
For more information about WGU and military or veterans' benefits, please visit www.wgu.edu/military.

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

America Doesn't Need A Strong Dollar Policy
It's often taken for granted that America needs a strong dollar. When the value of the U.S. dollar is strong relative to other currencies, it becomes attractive to investors and allows Americans to buy foreign goods and services cheaply. But in times of recession, are we better off with a weak dollar that stimulates U.S. manufacturing by making our goods cheaper and more competitive? Or will the loss of purchasing power and currency manipulation abroad, offset the potential gains?

The present invention generally relates to the field of software services. More particularly, an embodiment of the present invention relates to sharing common services with different environments.
On a given platform, there may be multiple instances of code that perform a similar task. For example, there is a separate real-mode code to support PC/AT basic input output system (BIOS) interfaces, protected mode code for extensible firmware interface (EFI), each with separate constructor sequences. This duplication may consume the limited firmware budget of a system, especially when the system is a mobile computer system where flash memory is typically limited.
The invention may be best understood by referring to the following description and accompanying drawings that are used to illustrate embodiments of the invention. In the drawings:
For one embodiment, a method and system for processing common operations in a computer system is disclosed. A system management interrupt (SMI) is generated when the common operations are requested. A transfer to a common entity is performed. The common entity may include the common operations.
In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without these specific details. Some portions of the detailed descriptions that follow are presented in terms of algorithms and symbolic representations of operations on data bits within a computer system's registers or memory. These algorithmic descriptions and representations are the means used by those skilled in the data processing arts to most effectively convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. An algorithm is here, and generally, conceived to be a self-consistent sequence of operations leading to a desired result. The operations are those requiring physical manipulations of physical quantities. Usually, though not necessarily, these quantities take the form of electrical or magnetic signals capable of being stored, transferred, combined, compared, and otherwise manipulated. It has proven convenient at times, principally for reasons of common usage, to refer to these signals as bits, values, elements, symbols, characters, terms, numbers, or the like.
It should be borne in mind, however, that all of these and similar terms are to be associated with the appropriate physical quantities and are merely convenient labels applied to these quantities. Unless specifically stated otherwise as apparent from the following discussions, it is appreciated that throughout the present invention, discussions utilizing terms such as �processing� or �computing� or �calculating� or �determining� or the like, may refer to the action and processes of a computer system, or similar electronic computing device, that manipulates and transforms data represented as physical (electronic) quantities within the computer system's registers and memories into other data similarly represented as physical quantities within the computer-system memories or registers or other such information storage, transmission or display devices.
In the following detailed description of the embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that show, by way of illustration, specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. In the drawings, like numerals describe substantially similar components throughout the several views. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention. Other embodiments may be utilized and structural, logical, and electrical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Moreover, it is to be understood that the various embodiments of the invention, although different, are not necessarily mutually exclusive. For example, a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in one embodiment may be included within other embodiments. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined only by the appended claims, along with the full scope of equivalents to which such claims are entitled.
Although the below examples may describe embodiments of the present invention in the context of execution units and logic circuits, other embodiments of the present invention can be accomplished by way of software. For example, in some embodiments, the present invention may be provided as a computer program product or software which may include a machine or computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions which may be used to program a computer (or other electronic devices) to perform a process according to the present invention. In other embodiments, steps of the present invention might be performed by specific hardware components that contain hardwired logic for performing the steps, or by any combination of programmed computer components and custom hardware components.
Thus, a machine-readable medium may include any mechanism for storing or transmitting information in a form readable by a machine (e.g., a computer), but is not limited to, floppy diskettes, optical disks, Compact Disc, Read-Only Memory (CD-ROMs), and magneto-optical disks, Read-Only Memory (ROMs), Random Access Memory (RAM), Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM), Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM), magnetic or optical cards, flash memory, a transmission over the Internet, electrical, optical, acoustical or other forms of propagated signals (e.g., carrier waves, infrared signals, digital signals, etc.) or the like.
Further, a design may go through various stages, from creation to simulation to fabrication. Data representing a design may represent the design in a number of manners. First, as is useful in simulations, the hardware may be represented using a hardware description language or another functional description language. Additionally, a circuit level model with logic and/or transistor gates may be produced at some stages of the design process. Furthermore, most designs, at some stage, reach a level of data representing the physical placement of various devices in the hardware model. In the case where conventional semiconductor fabrication techniques are used, data representing a hardware model may be the data specifying the presence or absence of various features on different mask layers for masks used to produce the integrated circuit. In any representation of the design, the data may be stored in any form of a machine-readable medium. An optical or electrical wave modulated or otherwise generated to transmit such information, a memory, or a magnetic or optical storage such as a disc may be the machine readable medium. Any of these mediums may �carry� or �indicate� the design or software information. When an electrical carrier wave indicating or carrying the code or design is transmitted, to the extent that copying, buffering, or re-transmission of the electrical signal is performed, a new copy is made. Thus, a communication provider or a network provider may make copies of an article (a carrier wave) embodying techniques of the present invention.
Computer System
The chipset 150 may be an integrated graphics chipset. The chipset 150 may include an integrated graphics controller 112 to provide graphics/video support. The graphics controller 112 and the memory 115 may receive reference clock signals from a clock generator 125. The graphics controller 112, the memory controller 113 and the memory 115 may also include delayed locked loop (DLL) circuit(s) (not shown) used, for example, to control timings, etc. The graphics controller 112 may perform computations to get display data from the memory 115 and to output the display data to the display unit 124 via the video out port 120. The graphics controller 112 may also control other operational behaviors of the display unit 124 including, for example, refresh rates, backlight brightness and the like. The chipset 150 may also include a graphics interface 122 (e.g., Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) interface) to support external graphics controllers (not shown) for advanced graphics capability.
The chipset 150 may include a memory controller 113 that interfaces with the memory 115 to satisfy read/write requests from the processor 105. The chipset 150 may also include an I/O controller 114 to interface with peripheral devices, which may include, for example, disk storage 116, network interface 135, embedded controller 117, firmware hub 118, etc. The disk storage 116 may include a machine-readable medium (not shown) on which is stored a set of instructions (e.g., software application) embodying any one, or all, of the embodiments described herein. The instructions may also reside, completely or at least partially, within the main memory 115 and/or within the processor 105. The instructions may furthermore be transmitted or received via the network interface 135.
Memory Map
There may be software or code entities residing in these various memory areas. Some of these software entities may perform the same or similar operations. For example, there may be software entities that support pre-boot operations while there may be similar entities that support run-time operations. Having different entities performing the same or similar operations may unnecessarily waste valuable memory space and may potentially deprive implementation of other functionalities.
Common Entity and System Management Mode (SMM)
For one embodiment, a common entity is established to perform the operations or services that are common to the different software entities. These software entities may be referred to as environment-specific entities because they may operate in different environments (e.g., pre-boot, run-time, etc.). For another embodiment, the common entity may be implemented using SMM and may be stored in SMM memory (or SMRAM).
Referring to the example in
According to one embodiment, in order to execute a common entity, each of the associated environment-specific entities that perform the same or similar operations may need to be modified (or stubbed out) such that a SMI is initiated whenever these similar operations are to be executed. For example, an environment-specific entity in the system flash area 205 that performs operations to read from the disk storage 116 may be modified to initiate a SMI to execute a common entity that performs the read disk operations. Similarly, an environment-specific entity in the boot services area 224 may also be modified to initiate the same SMI whenever the read disk operations are necessary.
It may be noted that the process of initiating the SMI, and transitioning to and from the SMM (including the storing and restoring of system states) may be associated with some latency as compared to the normal execution of the same operations without using the common entity. However, this latency may be minimal comparing to the actual time it may take for the execution of the operations to complete, especially when the operations relate to I/O operations.
One advantage of the techniques described herein is that services previously available to only one environment (e.g., BIOS pre-boot) may now be used by another environment (e.g., EFI run-time). It may be noted that because embodiments of the present invention support different environments, it may be necessary to provide information to the common entity to indicate which environment the common entity is supporting. For example, registers may be used to pass environment information, commands, or any other information to the common entity.
Common Entity Process
At block 405, a SMI is received. The SMI may be received when executing an environment-specific entity that would perform operations that are included in the common entity. At block 410, the system state is stored to prepare for the transition to the SMM. At block 415, a test is performed to determine if the SMI is to invoke a common entity or a non-common entity. The non-common entity may be any entity that is to be performed within the SMM but may not be related to the common operations. If the SMI is associated with a non-common entity, the process may flow from block 415 to block 422 where codes associated with the non-common entity are executed. From block 415, if the SMI is associated with a common entity, the process may flow to block 420 where the common entity is executed. This may include the common entity receiving environment information from the associated environment-specific entity. At block 425, a transition from SMM occurs and the system state is restored. The computer system may then resume its operation in the same environment prior to the transition to SMM, as shown in block 430.
Computer Readable Media
It is also to be understood that because embodiments of the present invention may be implemented as one or more software programs, embodiments of the present invention may be implemented or realized upon or within a machine readable medium. For example, the process of identifying common operations, establishing common entities, etc. (as described in
In the foregoing specification, the invention has been described with reference to specific exemplary embodiments thereof. It will, however, be evident that various modifications and changes may be made thereto without departing from the broader spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. The specification and drawings are, accordingly, to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.

"I can only tell you that I felt very privileged to be given the part and follow such a wonderful performer as Roger [Delgado]. I didn�t know it was going to be as important as it turned out to be, I didn�t know about the fans, I didn�t know that the shows would be scrutinised and analysed fifteen, twenty years later...The thing to do is not to try to copy people, no matter what you thought of the way I did it. I think it might have been not very successful if I�d tried to be a pale imitation of Roger. I think you�ve got to come at acting from your own centre, your mind is the character�s mind, your arms, your body, everything, and then it is at least original and at least your own. I feel that it would have been wrong to have sat there, studying the videos."

"Rommie, the ship itself, was a sentient, thinking, feeling Artificial Intelligence...in Season 5, the whole show took a weird turn, with the crew separated and stuck on several identical desert planets. Most problematically, they didn't actually have a spaceship any more. Neither, for that matter, did they have Rommie. The actress took some time off to have a kid and to star in Jason X...So the ship's genius, Shamus Zelazney Harper, who first designed the android Rommie rebuilds her as Doyle, a blonder, sluttier version of Rommie with just enough memories to provide continuity. No other explanation: she broke, we done fixed her up as best we could boss.
They eventually 'rebuilt' Rommie as herself when Lexa Doig returned after her pregnancy; when asked how her new body felt (one that had put on a bit after nine months of conceiving and then delivering a human child) Rommie responds, 'sturdy.'"
Chris: Two things I want to mention here. First, as we�ve said before, this is Jor-El, who looks just like Clark. Which would be fine, except that we know that by the time Krypton blows up, Jor-El looks like Julian Sands, a.k.a. Warlock. And then, after he dies (?!) he�s Terence Stamp. So apparently the aging process on Krypton makes you look like a completely different person every ten years.
David: I don�t know how to break this to you, but Clark�s actually a Time Lord.

Prices of electronic goods in Indonesia are expected to decline next month following the strengthening of the Indonesian rupiah (Rp) against the U.S. dollar, which is about Rp 8,100 per U.S. dollar, a source said.
"Manufacturers, who have bought stocks of raw material at the rate of Rp 8,500 per U.S. dollar, will not be able to lower prices of the electronic goods immediately. Thus, it is expected that the price reduction will happen next month or late in June," Sung Khiun, a member of Electronic Marketers Club [EMC], said yesterday.
However, he said the decision of whether or not to lower the prices would depend on the respective manufacturer's policy.
"The strengthening of the rupiah is actually positive to the electronic goods industries, as it would raise the domestic purchasing power. However, another important point is the stability of the rupiah as it would help the manufacturers account [set] their business planning," Sung Khiun said.
According to Mr. Khiun, the most probable electronic goods that would soon meet the rupiah's current rate are the imported products.
"Perhaps next week, much of the imported electronic products prices would decline," he added.
Sung Khiun said during the last 2 months the electronic industries had actually reduced prices of some of their products because the market demand failed to rise.
"For instance, prices of LG products went down last week, which were ranging from 3 to 4 per cent in a bid to expand the market segment in Indonesia," he said. (ANTARA, Asia Pulse)

Chuck Nelson new CEO at Washington Athletic Club
Chuck Nelson replacing Jim Johnson at Washington Athletic Club.
Seattle Times business reporter
The Washington Athletic Club named former pro football player Chuck Nelson as its new president and CEO, replacing Jim Johnson, who is retiring after 15 years in that role.
Nelson, who will start Jan. 16, is a former executive director of the Boeing Classic PGA tournament at Snoqualmie Ridge and chief operating officer at Rigel Capital. He's also a director of the Seattle Sports Commission and Coastal Community Bank, and he sits on the community board at Regence BlueShield of Washington.
But he is best known for his football career with the University of Washington and the Los Angeles Rams, the Buffalo Bills and the Minnesota Vikings in the 1980s.
Nelson's most recent job was as vice president of the business and technology consulting firm Sila Solutions.
The club at Sixth Avenue and Union Street in downtown Seattle opened in 1930. It added four stories in the 1950s and another eight stories less than 20 years later.
It now has more than 13,000 members and has been designated a city landmark by the Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board.

text: We have stayed in St.Agnes on numerous occasions but this is the most well equipped and comfortable house we have stayed in. 3 adults and 4 children (2 teenagers - 2 nearly teenagers!) had plenty of room in this 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom house. Kitchen/dining room was superb and very well equipped - much better than a lot of holiday accommodation. folder made available in house for information and easy to contact booking agents if any probs. In fact we arrived early evening and didnt discover until 11pm that there was no hot water. We didnt want to ring anybody at that time but rang early onthe sunday morning and they were superb in getting a heating engineer out quickly to repair the boiler. We didnt have to stay in as it was an approved engineer and the agency gave him a key. It wasnt a big issue - boilers break - it was just unfortunate timing and it didnt bother us at all for the remainder of the holiday. Super house in fabulous location. I can confidently say we will book again.

Obama tars Romney as governor who broke his pledges
Published on Oct 28, 2012 6:37 AM
NASHUA, New Hampshire (AFP) - United States President Barack Obama, campaigning in tiny New Hampshire on Saturday, slammed his Republican rival Mitt Romney's record as governor of neighboring Massachusetts, saying he is a man voters can't trust.
Just 10 days out from the Nov 6 presidential election, Mr Obama was in the small US state for the second time in two weeks because it is the only one in the north-east where the two White House contenders are running neck and neck.
Though it has just four of the 538 electoral college votes, which ultimately decide the winner, Mr Obama was scrambling to lock in as many as possible as polls showed a tight race.
Mr Romney "has been out here making a lot of last-minute promises lately," Mr Obama told a crowd of 8,500 at a school in Nashua.

Posts tagged Keystone Diesel Truck Nationals
Winners honored at banquet
Feb 3rd
Dozens of Maple Grove Raceway's best racers crowded the ballroom at the Crowne Plaza Reading Hotel Saturday night for the 51st annual Money Trail Awards Banquet.
Over $30,000 in cash, trophies and contingency awards was handed out during the ceremony to the top 48 drivers in the five Sunoco Race Fuels Money Trail E.T. Series, Jr. Dragsters and the ATI Stock-Super Stock Shootout.
Dozens of racers, whether or not they were in the money, were on hand with friends and family. It's a great tradition that Maple Grove management is looking to continue far into the future.
The season champions for the Money Trail Series had their turn in the spotlight as Lanny Werley (Gold Rush Trailers Super), Brock Moshier (Ciccarone Racing Products Pro), Paul Werner (P.C. Richard & Son Street), Cory Stuebner (Ray's Yamaha Top Bike), Vincent Branca (Jr. Dragster) and Lee Risser (ATI Stock-Super Stock) were recognized in their respective classes. More >
Keystone Diesel Nationals debut a hit
Jul 31st
As with any event, Maple Grove Raceway management didn't know what to expect when it scheduled the first Keystone Diesel Nationals over the winter.
The signs for a great event were there in the months leading up the July 27 date. Mack Trucks, an industry giant, signed up as presenting sponsor. Other industry sponsors then came aboard. Also, Super Show Rigs helped with promotion and spread the word through the trucking community.
The result was a successful first act. With great summer weather, 365 trucks were at Maple Grove, including 158 in the judging show field and 85 on the racetrack. More >
Keystone Diesel Nationals to debut
Jul 23rd
These big and powerful machines are actually not strangers to Maple Grove Raceway.
Throughout the season, diesel-powered tractor trailers transport racecars and equipment to dozens of events. When the NHRA Mello Yello Series arrives in October for the Auto-Plus NHRA Nationals, it's a neat sideshow watching the transports wind their way down the country roads to The Grove.
On Saturday, July 27, the trucks won't be supporting actors; they will have the top billing. More >

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Allstate.Interview Details
I filled out an application online and it took about a week to hear back. I scheduled a phone interview and after the interview was asked to take their online test. I was told to expect a call back to schedule another interview after I took the test, based on whether or not I passed. I immediately received confirmation of passing the test, and a week later received an e-mail saying that they chose another candidate based on my interview, although I hadn't had an interview.Interview Questions

I applied at the career fair that was held at my university. I was then contacted for a on campus interview. First interview was technical and went over your resume. I was then contacted weeks later for a onsite interview. I got interviewed by two people the first one was technical and the second one was behavior.

The process took about 2 months. There were 3 rounds: the first was with HR, second was a very technical interview aimed to assess your problem solving skills, and the third was at the home office with 3 different interviewers (a mix of managers and analysts). There was math test during one of the one-on-one interviews, and a business case you had to reason through. It was a very rigorous interviewing process.Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at Allstate.Interview Details
I applied online through a craigslist posting and was contacted about a week later for a short phone interview then upon further evaluation of my online application an in person interview was scheduled. Interview lasted about an hour or so. Basic and straight forward questions; mostly regarding your past work experience and why you're interested in the job. If you do well on the interview they have you come back in at a later date to try cold calls on the phone, which is an absolute joke if you have 0 experience in insurance sales. the whole point of the process is for them to hear what you sound like on the phone even though they propose it as an opportunity to get leads prior to you getting your insurance license. They barely payed attention to me on the phone so I don't know how efficient this process is in selecting candidates to go on to take the insurance licensing test.Interview Questions
Reasons for Declining
- none, they are all straight forward and basic. Answer Question
Pathetic base salary offer of 8$/hour. The ad promised 34k a year if your good, 50k if your great and 60k if you're a "superstar". They do promise regulated increases every 6 months pending performance review but regardless you can make more working retail and there are other insurance companies that will start you off more than double then that on top of commission, benefits and paying for your insurance license(Geico) These guys are crooks.Declined OfferNegative ExperienceEasy Interview

Applied online. Had someone in HR email me to set up a phone intern (very pleasant HR lady, I could tell and knew she was rooting for me, but the end result wasn't up to her it was up to the hiring manager) Quick interview because she knew I was qualified, took assessment test and passed it, submitted a second part of the application with my social security #, 2 weeks later I get a generic email informing me the position had either been filled or the position was removed. I assume it was either filled by an insider of someone who knew someone, and I didn't stand a chance anyway, or they just made me waste my time.No OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview

I first applied online from a posting on Indeed. I literally got a call the next day from the recruiter who I had to tell about a time I dealt with a difficult customer. It was REALLY short. Later that day I completed the assessment and got the email that I passed. The following day I got an email setting up the in person interview. I went to the interview and sat with 2 people one wrote and one asked the questions and the other wrote the information down. The questions were basic behavioral questions. It was really laid back. I think met with the Head Manager I guess she asked me a couple of questions. Then I sat with a worker. It was a really good and laid back experience.Interview Questions

Posted internally- was called same day to discuss that they would not offer relocation. I was fine with that. Was scheduled an interview with the hiring manager the following week. I was provided a timeframe for a response. Was called later during the timeframe to confirm I could move. No decision was made, was called the following week and asked if I was certain I could relocate at my own expense and no decision was made. Another week went by and they said they needed more time. At this point I gave up. Wound up getting a blanket rejection email. I have never experienced anything like this and to say I am disappointed with the process is an understatement.
