I may be the last person in the blogosphere to report this, but here it is: Solyndra failed, but the U.S. solar industry is alive and well, and we should think hard about how to keep it that way.
I'll spare you a big rehash of the Solyndra solar flame out, which you can read about in many places. (Here's a good column that aims for perspective). This company set up shop with a new technology that captured solar energy with cylinders that didn't use silicon. That was intriguing to many investors, including the U.S. Department of Energy which promotes innovation by backing loans to selected ventures. The price of silicon had long rendered conventional PV panels unaffordable for most people, and that gave Solyndra a potential market edge. The company's plans were plausible and DOE began the loan process during the Bush Administration, and locked in later, under the Obama Administration.
Long story short, in 2010 the price of silicon fell dramatically, and Solyndra's value proposition began sliding off a cliff. And there were management issues. Solyndra began its decline toward bankruptcy. The officers haven't been forthcoming in relating the inside story; more will come out over time. The government, which gave Solyndra a relatively large loan guarantee of $535 million, should definitely take a lesson. Where the DOE overseers shrewd enough when scrutinizing the project? Did they demand transparency? Who was on the scene? All these are fair questions.
Meanwhile, we should remember that businesses fail, sometimes even after nearly succeeding, and also that the private sector isn't necessarily any better at overseeing investments. Remember that housing market collapse way back, oh, about three years ago.
No one can be happy about this huge loss. But hindsight is 20/20, and to say that the government should now bail out of offering seed money to clean tech, as is being suggested by some, is a much larger discussion. One we can't contain here. There are good arguments for reshaping government programs. Government can miscalculate. Remember when corn ethanol was going to free our nation from oil dependence and solve carbon pollution; when countless politicians campaigning in 2008 wanted to throw billions at corn producers?
There are just as many arguments in favor of a government role in supporting renewables. One, put out by the Solar Energy Industry Association, is simple: Other countries are supporting the transition to clean energy and if the U.S. doesn't it will lose the manufacturing and development jobs to our competitors. Clean tech also needs the support to help level the playing field with fossil fuel producers, who have long received government subsidies.
So as the pendulum swings away from the Solyndra bonfire, we'd better watch out that it doesn't knock us off the platform into a gully from where we're forced to watch the world zoom by, advancing and benefiting from green energy.
It's a serious risk. China offers generous subsidies to solar and wind endeavors, and these industries are advancing at record speed in the nation that owns so much of our U.S. debt.
There is an alluring argument out there that we should strip away all government supports for clean energy, as well as for the existing oil, coal and nuclear industries. That would level the playing field and solar, wind and geothermal power would race ahead. Well, maybe. It would set up a true marketplace competition. But really, that's going to happen? Germany recently announced it is done with nuclear power, and the world shuddered at this brave move. In the U.S., the words "end oil subsidies" seize up the windpipes of most politicians. So while I too wish we could have a non-taxpayer supported, free-market leveled playing field, this just ain't happening.
The good news, however, is that the U.S. solar scene, supports and warts and all, is a growing, thriving industry in the U.S. It employs about 100,000 workers and remains a world leader in development. For now. And its reach is expanding.
With the price of photovoltaic (PV) panels having fallen by about 30 percent in the last 18 months, there are growing opportunities for regular Americans to finally take advantage of this technology and help start lowering carbon emissions, the big prize that we should all be targeting.
- This week Google announced another investment in solar. The Internet giant says it will provide $75 million to build 3,000 residential solar systems. They'll own the panels and get payback from lease payments from the homeowners and government rebates. The idea is to support small local installers across the country by helping them offer financing plans for home PV installations, which typically run about $30,000 — give or take, depending on the size of the home. Google already made an eye-popping $280 million investment with SolarCity to advance solar rooftops through leasing arrangements.
- Also this week, OneRoof Energy, a San Diego company that works directly with roofers to offer leased solar systems, announced it has secured $50 million in funding. OneRoof's roofer partners install solar at the same time a homeowner buys a new roof, and leases the installation for payments that typically come in lower than the homeowner's savings on electricity costs.
Other companies like Sungevity also are offering solar-leasing similar plans.
These leasing plans allow regular middle-class homeowners to essentially lease out their roof for solar power collection, lowering their bills and feeding the grid, without facing a large upfront investment that working people simply cannot afford. It's a concept that been in the marketplace for a few years, but with new lower panel costs, appears poised to sweep the country.
Meanwhile, some larger commercial projects, and solar manufacturing, continue to create jobs and green energy in the U.S., albeit with government loan guarantees.
The solar industry overall grew by 69 percent last year, making it one of the fastest growing sectors in a recession-bound economy and the fastest growing energy sector, according to the Solar Energy Industry Association (SEIA). In addition, the U.S. was a net exporter of solar products in 2010 by $2 billion, sending components even to China, a major manufacturer of PV panels.
Solar is creating jobs, not just in the Silicon Valley, where the technology is refined, but in many states. In the last two years, according to SEIA, 27 new solar manufacturing facilities have been opened or announced for plants in Arizona, Ohio, Michigan, Mississippi, Pennsylvania and Tennessee.
SEIA also issued a statement about the Solyndra affair, pointing out that the DOE's Energy Loan Guarantee Program helps make solar power more affordable for businesses and homeowners because each $1 from DOE leverages $13 in private investment.
That makes the DOE investments in solar ventures look a lot smarter than its new-found critics want to acknowledge.
The Solyndra debacle has created a cloud, but the big picture for solar remains mostly sunny.

Case Study: How One Crazy Poet Raised $10K in 12 Hours with Social Media
Last week, I shared the story of a guy who convinced the Internet that Abe Lincoln invented Facebook – pretty impressive linkbait, but not exactly heart-warming. But those of you with cold hearts need not fear – I've got a doozy for you this week. (As Woody Allen would say, there's nothing like hot cockles.
)This story starts with poetry. Several years ago I became acquainted with a poet named Patricia Lockwood, affectionately known as Tricia. Tricia had a blog, but she was less likely to post about poetry per se than the strange things her mother says ("There were very bad storms here all week, you know. Later on, maybe tomorrow, I'll take you out and we can go see all the devastation") or the disturbing illustrations on the covers of young adult books.What becomes clear, once you�... > Read more
Why I Bought Facebook IPO Shares Today
In a dramatic triumph of hope over experience, I bought into the Facebook IPO hype today.I just got off the phone with my broker at Morgan Stanley and placed an order for 1000 shares of Facebook. (Morgan Stanley is one of the major underwriters of the Facebook IPO, and if you're a client of theirs, you can actually place an order to stock at the IPO price before the company goes public tomorrow.
)It's a pretty big investment for me and might come as a surprise to some, given that I recently published research on Tuesday morning that basically concludes Facebook advertising is awful. The research was picked up early on by Jim Edwards at Business Insider, and John Letzing at the Wall Street Journal, and Laurie Sullivan at MediaPost.As if to validate the research, a mere 6 hour... > Read more
Poll: Do You Use Facebook Advertising?
Yesterday the news broke that General Motors (GM) is pulling its Facebook campaign, to the tune of $10 million, claiming the ads don't work. As Pamela Parker at Marketing Land said, "It couldn't have happened at a worse time for Facebook, which has its initial public offering of stock later this week.
" According to the Guardian, this move, coming "days before stock market sale" is "seen as an embarrassment by analysts."The infographic we launched yesterday comparing the value of Facebook advertising to the Google Display Network goes some way toward explaining GM's move. We found that average click-through rates on Facebook were just half the industry average for banner ads, at 0.051%. Average CTR on the Google Display Network, on the other hand, is 0.4% (almost 10 times higher!). Accord... > Read more
Google Display Network vs. Facebook Advertising [Infographic]
Is Facebook really worth +$100 billion?That was Facebook's market capitalization, based on where the stock is priced for its IPO on Friday, May 18.I'm no investment analyst, but here at WordStream, we are experts on online advertising. Facebook's valuation of $100 billion puts it at half the worth of Google.
Since both Google and Facebook generate most of their revenue through advertising (advertising accounts for 96% of Google's revenue vs. 86% of Facebook's), we can definitely weigh in on the worth question from an advertising perspective.So we decided to do a comparative analysis of the world's largest online display advertising networks: Facebook vs. the Google Display Network.Facebook Ads vs Google Display Network Breakdown:Google Display Advertising vs. FacebookWill Faceboo... > Read more
The New AdWords Rotation Settings: More Information from Google
On the heels of Google's sunsetting of ad rotation in AdWords I had some additional questions about how, exactly, the "new ad rotation" would work, so I connected with our Google AdWords rep to get answers to my questions.Here's what Google had to say about the change:AdWords currently offers three ad rotation settings: optimize for clicks, optimize for conversions, and rotate evenly.
Using the "rotate" setting for ad rotation is helpful for testing new creatives, but when run indefinitely can inhibit advertiser performance and deliver less relevant ads to our users.Starting next week, the "rotate" setting for ad rotation will change. Instead of rotating creatives for an indefinite period of time, this setting will only rotate for a period of 30 days. After that... > Read more
Linkbait Case Study: Why Nate St. Pierre Claimed Abraham Lincoln Invented Facebook
Did y'all hear about Abraham Lincoln inventing the internet (or something like that)? It was the meme of the week, an owl in a box for our time – Nate St. Pierre, a blogger and consultant, told the (long-winded) story of his recent trip to Springfield, Illinois, and how he discovered a patent application filed by Abraham Lincoln in 1845 – for a product that looks and sounds a lot like an early version of Facebook:Lincoln was requesting a patent for "The Gazette," a system to "keep People aware of Others in the Town.
" He laid out a plan where every town would have its own Gazette, named after the town itself. He listed the Springfield Gazette as his Visual Appendix, an example of the system he was talking about. Lincoln was proposing that each town build a centrally located co... > Read more

Does Remarketing Make You a Creepy Stalker?
Remarketing is an interesting online advertising technique that involves tracking and displaying ads to users after they have left your site.This can be an effective way to get more conversions out of your web visitors – but if you go too far, it can also be incredibly creepy.Part of why remarketing is successful is that many people don't really know what it is.

Ch-Ch-Changes! How to Deal with Recent Flux in Google Rankings, AdWords Settings
Color me not surprised at all: I get back from vacation to find that Google has announced yet another change that seems designed to increase profits in Mountain View, not improve results for advertisers.Ad Rotation Wears Out its WelcomeOn Tuesday, Google announced that the ad rotation setting will only be available for 30 days.
As Larry wrote earlier this week:Using the "rotate" setting for Ad Rotation is helpful for A/B testing of ads – especially because the automated "optimize for clicks" and "optimize for conversions" ad delivery options have a tendency to declare a winner rather early, particularly for small and medium sized advertisers … As usual, Google claims that the change is to improve the system for both advertisers and users.Once again it seems that Google is trying to enf... > Read more
Don't Get Deleted: Applying SEO Lessons to Email
Across the planet, over 300 billion emails are sent every day. That's over 2.8 million emails every second, and 90 trillion over the course of a year. No wonder the U.S. Postal Service can't keep up with the competition.And neither can we. Corporate workers send and receive an average of 225 messages per day.
If we gave each email coming through our inbox our full attention, we'd be hard-pressed to get any other work done.Most of us have adapted to the deluge with a "first cut" strategy. Before even opening an email, we glance at the sender and subject line and determine if it's worthy of our time. If it's a sender that often sends us marketing material we haven't found especially useful, it becomes instinctual to click delete before ever looking at these messages.Although our personal pro... > Read more

Should You Raise Bids on Keywords with High Quality Scores?
Recently a customer asked us, "Why should I raise bids on keywords that already have high quality scores?"I answered this question via email, but I thought I'd post the answer here too so everyone can benefit from this bid management best practice. Here's my response:We've analyzed thousands of AdWords accounts and found a strong correlation between Quality Score and cost per conversion.
Meaning, if you were to look at the cost per conversion across the different keywords in your account, comparing the CPA of the keywords with a Quality Score of 1 to the CPA of Quality Score 2 keywords, Quality Score 3 keywords, and so on, you would see that on average, the lower your Quality Scores, the higher your average cost per conversion.

What Is Negative SEO? The Rise of Competitive Google Bombing
Negative SEO – have you heard this term before? To be perfectly frank, it's new to me as of this week. "Google bombing" has been around for years, a kind of hack using links and anchor text to manipulate the search results as a prank – the famous example being a biography of George W. Bush returned as the first result for the query "miserable failure.
"But negative SEO is a slightly different animal. It's the practice of trying to destroy your competitors' rankings in the SERPs – for example by purchasing large amounts of spammy links to the site, damaging their link profile.

Part 1 of just another narcissistic,and arrogant WHITE SUPREMACIST fantasy trilogy that is also DEEPLY SLEEP INDUCING.I was in a deep sleep for at least an hour or more of this CGI NONSENSE,talking about protecting a certain precious medal that North AmeriKKKans in real life allowed their WHITE SUPREMACIST Government to steal from them in the 1930's because of a law they came out with that made it illegal to own,BUT I DIGRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really disappointing. A distortion of the original novel, probably to make use of the special effects used in the trilogy. Too much of everything except the wonderful tale by Tolkien.
Great job by Peter Jackson. Remains true to the story thanks to CGI. Technology has matured to a point where a fantasy series such as this can be accurately reproduced. Great entertainment.
Truly amazing. A little intense, but very breathtaking. I can't wait to watch The Desolation of Smaug!
Excellent movie! Looking forward to the 2nd one. Recommended!
This Movie was amazing in my words, and by the way, The Hobbit, was worth 3 books, And its not possible to fit that book into a movie, that is if you dont want to watch a 6 hour movie
Just saw it for a second time. Intense CGI, wonderful New Zealand, and the 'Great Heroic Epic' ! Yes, the book is different,.. but so what. I love this genre, and this latest installment is well done and feeds my need. (Having to wait for the next 'installment'... ouch !)
Peter Jackson tried to take a children's book and turn it into some great epic like the Lord of the Rings--which didn't quite work. I still found it enjoyable, though. Can't wait to see the next part!! :) :) :)
I loved this show. I also love the Lord Of The Rings too. Alittle violent for kids. A good Sci-fi
Intense CGI, wonderful New Zealand, and the 'Great Heroic Epic' ! So the dragon is awesome, but the dragon voice is too mild. Yes, the book is different,.. but so what. I love this genre and this lastest installment is well done and feeds my need. (Having to wait for the next 'installment',.. ouch !!??)

Gollum (crawling away from Bilbo, who's pointing Sting at him): "It's got an elfish blade, but it's not an elfs... Not an elfs, no... What is it, precious?!? WHAT IS IT?!?" Bilbo Baggins: "My name... is Bilbo Baggins." Gollum: "...Bagginses? ...What is a 'Bagginses', precious?"
Great Goblin (singing): "Bones will be shattered, necks will be wrung! You'll be beaten and battered, from racks you'll be hung! You will die down here, and never be found... down in the deep of Goblin Town!"
Gandalf (gazing upon the horizon): "Erebor... The Lonely Mountain... the last of the great dwarf kingdoms of Middle Earth..." Thorin Oakenshield: "...Our home..." Balin: "A raven! The birds are returning to the mountain!" Gandalf: "That, my dear boy, is a thrush!" Thorin Oakenshield: "Well, we'll take it as a sign. A good omen." Bilbo Baggins: "You're right. I do believe the worst is behind us." (Camera follows the thrush to The Lonely Mountain, where it noisily pecks at a nut... stirring... Smaug...)
Gandalf (to Trolls):"The Dawn take you all!" Trolls:"Who's that?" "No idea." "Can we eat him too?" (Gandalf strikes rock and the light of dawn turns them to stone)
very good book if you like the book then watch the movie i watched the movie before i read the book and it was great it doesnt madder if u read the book or watch the movie first.

This pie is a holiday staple in my family! My new in-laws beg me to make it for every special occasion. I realize that this is NOT considered healthy, nor is it low-calorie in any way, but I do use some swaps that help lower the fat and calories. If you've gotta have it, at least you can have it a little lighter! Just make sure to practice moderation.

This pie is far from low-fat or low-cal, but is delicious! It's a family recipe from Thanksgivings as a kid. I remember doing it by hand (before electric mixers) with a whisk. Much easier these days! With this recipe, a little bit goes a long way - it is a very rich dessert!

This pumpkin roll is not as hard to make as it sounds. It is very rich and very high in calories, however, it is worth it to have on occassion. Be sure to use either canned pumpkin or fresh pumpkin pie pumpkin, cooked down to a puree. DO NOT USE PUMPKIN PIE MIX.

AP photographer uses MyWi to cover Bahrain protests
James Lawler Duggan, a photojournalist from Washington, D.C., used his jailbroken iPhone 3GS and MyWi 4.0 tethering software to transmit photos from Bahrain (warning: photos are graphic in nature). This week, police locked down the capital of this small Persian Gulf kingdom as demonstrators prepared to protest against the country's monarchy.
After capturing several emotional photographs of the protests and violence, Duggan and his colleagues found the country's internet connectivity slowed to a halt. Duggan used his iPhone to overcome this obstacle and transmit his photos to the Associated Press wire in Cairo.
"My jailbroken 3GS running MyWi 4.0 proved to be the only way for me to get the images to Cairo, and even still, the resolution had to be dropped significantly to squeeze them through the pipeline," Duggan told us via email.
MyWi 4.0 from Intelliborn can transform any jailbroken iPhone or iPad into a mobile hotspot, allowing multiple laptops to connect to the internet through the device's 3G data service. It is available online for US$19.99.
This week's events in Bahrain are the latest in a series of uprisings in the region. Duggan's ability to share images of the upheaval using his iPhone shows how technology has changed the way information is shared with the world.

Missouri officials are predicting a 3.9 increase in state revenue in the next fiscal year.
The so-called consensus estimate of general state revenue for the budget year that begins in July was released Wednesday. The estimate predicts total revenue of roughly $7.6 billion in the 2013 fiscal year.
The estimate is calculated by state and outside experts and agreed to by the governor and key legislators. It's one factor in developing Missouri's next state budget.
Gov. Jay Nixon is scheduled to release his budget proposal in January.
Nixon's budget director, Linda Luebbering, said Wednesday the state borrowed $75 million from its budget reserve fund this week for cash flow. That is not uncommon and the funds must be repaid with interest by May16.

My 50mm T33 had the tip tanks labelled as the "big missiles". We have changed our terminology with tongue in cheek.
Gotta love Chinglish, the Saab 340 manual was in Swinglish with some real technical doozies.
|Jan 04, 2013, 09:28 AM
When The UK and USA were trying to beat the sound barrier ... UK designed and built an aeroplane with ALL FLYING STABILIZER ... sadly the Govt shelved the project just before flight ... US designers visited UK and viewed the prototype aircraft ... took back info etc. to USA. The X series planes were plagued with control problems, but designers then built in provision to change to ALL FLYING STABILIZER ... which they did and history was made ...
There are FIXED STABS ... ALL FLYING STABS ... etc.
I rest my case based on my Father - who was a leading Aviation Govt person in UK for his working life after the War. Was involved in many pioneering projects ... incl In Flight Refueling, Trans Polar flights - in fact HE navigated the FIRST commercial flight over the North Pole, Accident Investigation, Concorde trials, commercial flight ops ... just a few of the arena's he was in. I grew up listening to such talk about stabilizers and so on ...
Modellers ? We imitate ...

My 9x manuals ... I have Chinglish as well as correct good english version.

Of "stab"s, stabilizers come in two flavors, horizontal and vertical (aka; fin). So "all flying stab" where "stab" is understood as a stabilizer could also describe the vertical surface (these do exist). I, too, use the term "stab" to mean stabilizer, but always specify as either vertical stab or horizontal stab. Using the term stabilator leaves no doubt about what kind of a surface I am speaking about or it's placement.
Ailerons were once commonly called "flippers", Dave Powers introduced the term "fronterons" for leading edge flaps, some are calling landing gear doors "pants" which is/are a totally different component, Nitro Planes incorrectly calls the three in-line wheels on the ASK 23 Sailplane a "tricycle gear" because there are three of them, and the list goes on.
I merely encourage all to learn and use the proper aeronautical lexicon for better understanding of our shared enthusiasm in this hobby.

OK, OK We get it Brothers
Everybody here like airplane, some like them a lot more.
They want to know just about every aspect of aircraft and how it works.
and like to pass on that knowledge to us and for that we are thankful.
Back to 50mm EDFs
I'm installin the little motor dohicky on my AMX to control the flappy thingy on the wingy this afternoon, if I can get my girl down for a nap.

Well lesson learned my T45 stock doesn't have enough thrust with the thrust tube installed. I guess my stubbornness costs me more money as I destroyed my spare airframe with 4 nose dives yesterday.
|Jan 04, 2013, 04:00 PM
The most important thing about this hobby is to have fun.... but there is a lot that can be learned from people that have actually flown the real things! Learn something from G550Ted because he knows his stuff! And yes...Dave Powers drives me nuts with his made up words!! I totally think he does it to just piss people off...LOL
But anyway....As I always say...just quit the yappin and get to flying already!!

Hey Brothers
I'm looking for a few part from T-33's.
Any color , just about any part.
Wings, Fuselages, tail section.
As long as they are too crunched up.
Have an idea for a FRANKEN-PLANE that I think I can make up with
a few parts I have on hand.
I also cleaned up my garage too good and I miss having a buch of junked planes laying around.
PM me if you have something that you saved from a plane.
I'll cover the shipping cost and we can negotiate for what you have.
Thanks Folks

I kinda get a kick out of some of the terms used in model kits advertising, and instructions....Like the 37MM cannons on my FMS Stuka being referred to as "bombs" for example. Gives me a smile, and the g/f asks me what is funny, often times. I know it propagates poor tech terms when we refer to our models here, but it is funny, nonetheless. I do a bit of technical writing, and when instructions are given in written format, they have to be clear, and concise, so I "get" why some feel their term for a specific control surface needs to be used, but often, it can have several correct names, such as referring to landging gear as an undercarriage, for example. I actually do have a 50mm edf question, though.....I have the F-86 sabre, and it has just stopped flying, like it gained weight, or something, and I am at a loss as to why. I have been using the hobby King alloy EDF in 3s trim, and "before", it flew ok, and was even fairly fast when compared to my MiG-15 that has the same set up. Now, I can't even get it to maintain altitude. I took the EDF out, and inspected it, looking for possible slippage of the fan, or adapter, and even used CA when I assembled it back, to eliminate that possibility, and no difference.... Everything else on this plane is the same! I am thinking of gettinga different unit for this, as it wasn't stellar in performance before, but at least it FLEW.....any ideas?--------Metalguy
|Jan 06, 2013, 12:26 PM
Larry, that is kinda funny. I just yesterday built a frankenplane. Upper wing from a HS-123, Fusalage from a ME-109, tail from a HE-162. I may try her out today, weather permitting...Good luck with yours!!------Metalguy

Try checking your powerplant out. Are you using only one battery pack, or is the performance the same on different packs? A wattmeter should help you here.
Another possibilty can be your motor, hand rotate it (battery disconnected!) and check for any friction in the bearings. Try another ESC and look for any performance difference.
If you're still stumped after those checks, your motor's magnets may have lost some of their magnetism.

Now that I think of it, those 2mm bullet connectors don't take much force to separate. Check those connections first.

Hi guys, I`ve had about two dozen or so flights on my f-35 on stock power, well it was time for me to upgrade to something of better power and quality. I purchased a Wemotec micro fan and a HET 240-15 6000kv motor, got it assembled and fired it up on 1000mah 25c 3s battery, WOW what a beast! easily feels at least twice as powerful as stock and so much smoother, great quality. But now I have a problem, I`m still at the beginning stages of flying, and I`m afraid this thing is too strong for me, so can I use 2s battery instead? Has anyone tested a 6000kv motor on 2s? What were the results? Wish I had some 2s would test myself, don`t want to buy them just to find out my plane won`t have enough power to fly. Thanks for your help.
|Jan 07, 2013, 02:07 AM
KV x volts gives nominal no load rpm
So take your original set-up ... 4300KV x 11.1V(3S)= 47730 rpm
Now the new one : 6000KV x 11.1V(3S) = 66600 rpm
Your proposed : 6000KV x 7.4V(2S) = 44400 rpm
As you see the 2S will give lower than the original set-up and you will be pushing WOT all the time to keep her marginally flying IF she does.
Note : KV x Volts is only an indicator and actual is always significantly less due to load etc.
My advice ? Fly with the 3S ... there is a throttle stick you can use ... I reckon the 2S will barely fly .... and you'll be mushing about.
Remember many people are flying these on 4S .... ie my 5000Kv on 4S = 74000 rpm nominal

Hello MasterChef fans,
Monday night we watched the Final 4 compete in the second season of MasterChef USA. Over the last two months, it was Suzy, Jennifer, Adrien and Christian who rose to the top out of thousands who tried out, and as we saw this evening, not one of them is ready to go out without a fight! By now our remaining foursome have endured a constant stream of intense and emotionally draining tasks -- arguably some more fair than others, and yet have remained passionate and resilient. We felt they were ready and capable to take it to the next level by representing their country before a panel of highly revered international MasterChef judges. Competing for yourself is one thing, but...
read more
It's hard to believe that after starting out with 100 amateur home cooks at the audition round, only six remain -- it's getting down to the wire! From here on in, each challenge grows in intensity, and Monday night was no exception. It was sink or swim time, baby!

Hello MasterChef fans!
Monday night the remaining eight amateur cooks faced another stressful team challenge -- cooking for 200 hungry kids! Anyone who is a parent knows how frighteningly hard kids are to please. In fact, if you are a mother or father of three, that usually means you'll end up making three different things for dinner! This challenge really boiled down to knowing your customer. The pressure to win them over was intense, but in the end, the red team emerged victorious.
Initially we judges had serious concerns for the red team. Unable to wrap our heads around the idea of a fried chicken nugget burger, we feared they were making a huge mistake. It seemed a bit gimmicky and conjured up thoughts of deep fried Twinkies or Snickers bars -- or worse -- school cafeteria food! But the red team had strength in their ability to be flexible and take our constructive criticism seriously. Recognizing that their initial idea wasn't going to cut it, they had the good sense to make a change for the better and worked together as a unit to get it done. Christine didn't seem to be a terribly assertive or decisive leader, but at least she knew when to heed the advice of teammates, which unfortunately, is more than I can say for the blue team.
Hello, MasterChef fans,
With only nine remaining home cooks left, the competition is intensifying, and things are getting personal! By now all contestants should be more than comfortable with our MasterChef mystery boxes -- they've had a lot of time and practice with this format. From here on in, Graham, Gordon, and I expect the bar to be raised with every task.
What a night! Rounding out the Top 10 of this competition, we are left with some serious contenders, all getting closer to some serious prize money. This motley crew includes an architect, former beauty queen, neural engineer, and a Florida homemaker (with more affinity for the F-word than Gordon!), all of whom found themselves with another mystery box and elimination challenge, this time of much more intricate fare. Preparing lobster and truffles requires a certain amount of sophistication, something that all of our remaining contestants should have in the kitchen, and as we'd hoped, everyone seemed reasonably comfortable -- enough to get right to work. With Christian clearly having the most experience with lobster, Gordon, Graham, and myself were especially looking forward to what he'd come up with. What we didn't want was more of the same nasty attitude that he's been increasingly throwing our way as we narrow things down.
Only 12 contestants left in the game and the pressure is mounting. Emotions are running high, bonds are forming, rivalries intensifying, and nearly everyone was on the verge of tears at some point during the night -- Gordon included!
Monday night our remaining home cooks faced their third team challenge -- to create three passed hors d'oeuvres for a rooftop cocktail party at an elite Hollywood Hotel. Passed hors d'oeuvres might seem simple -- but this format of conceptualizing, proportioning, and serving food is not what our hopefuls are accustomed to -- and the clientele might not have been either. Our invited guests are used to fine foods and have sophisticated palates. Well-heeled and well-traveled, they not only expect the best, they eat it every night. This food needed to be smart, sexy and savory, without any gimmicks.
Hello again, MasterChef fans! I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July.
Tuesday night we found ourselves down to just 13 amateur home cooks, a far cry from the thousands who lined up to audition across the country just a few short months ago. Observing this group as they focused tirelessly on the mystery box challenge of a vegetarian entrée, we judges felt we were finally seeing execution on a professional level. No panic-stricken looks and fewer last-minute scrambling runs to the MasterChef pantry -- it was evident that we were left with the most capable group thus far.
Hello again, MasterChef fans,
Monday night's episode proved true the old adage that there's nothing to fear but fear itself. So many poor decisions were made during both the mystery box challenge and the elimination test that were based out of fear and insecurity. From multiple uncooked dishes by Jennifer, Jennie and Alejandra, to that horrible skin-graft crepe cake concoction from Max, the night's mishaps were indeed the lowest of the low since the audition round and left us judges with something we too might have to fear -- the outcome of this competition!
Last night was the first real opportunity we judges had to closely critique and mentor our remaining hopefuls through the cooking process, and found our gut instincts from the audition round were indeed correct -- we've got some serious talent on our hands this year! However, this is a competition, and the weeding out must continue! Last night we saw two major mistakes that proved to be the undoing for contestants Marc and Angel.
Salmon I thought was a pretty fair choice for our first mystery box challenge. Likewise, French cuisine is something that most people in America are at least somewhat familiar with. If the contestants were to fail here, it would be as a result of their own lack of culinary know-how, and not due to any curve balls being thrown their way. During the French cuisine elimination challenge, it was Angel's lack of versatility that did her in after she failed to deliver on a basic French fruit tart. Angel is a perfect example of someone who cooks what they know and can cook it well. If I could give her any advice it would be to venture outside of her comfort zone and experiment with new cuisines, as she's past the point of perfecting her hometown favorites. The next MasterChef needs to be well versed enough to take it to the next level.

Maricopa County prosecutors have filed a felony criminal complaint against a Mesa man who allegedly tried to feed a kitten to a python and later killed the feline by drop-kicking it.
Authorities said Friday that the complaint accuses 28-year-old Jeremy Tuffly of felony animal cruelty.
County sheriff's deputies arrested Tuffly at his Mesa home on Monday.
He has since been released from custody and has an unlisted phone number.
Tuffly's arrest came after deputies received a DVD of the incident from an unnamed person who knew about it.
The video shows a man the sheriff's office identified as Tuffly smiling while repeatedly and roughly throwing the kitten at a python in a backyard.
It then cuts to a nighttime scene with the man picking up the live kitten from the ground and drop-kicking it. The kitten lands in the middle of a street and sheriff's officials say the feline died.

Bothroyd angry at Owls decisions
Striker Jay Bothroyd says referee decisions cost Cardiff City in the 3-1 loss at Sheffield Wednesday."It was disappointing, especially with two first-half goals disallowed, the first was definitely onside," he said. "The referee spoiled the game. They were giving me hits from behind and I was taking them but there didn't seem to be consistency [at the other end]. "Sometimes that happens with the home team.

The redevelopment efforts in Lower Manhattan will reach another milestone Wednesday as 4 World Trade Center, whose design also reflects a sensitivity to its location, opens its doors. NY1's Jon Weinstein filed the following report.
Rising 72 stories above Lower Manhattan, 4 World Trade Center is notable for a number of reasons, but perhaps most importantly is what its opening signifies about the site.
"New Yorkers have been waiting for almost 12 years now to really feel like they're getting the city back, the World Trade Center is becoming part of the city again," said World Trade Center Properties President Janno Lieber.
For the first time in nearly 50 years, Greenwich Street in front of the building will open to the public. That newly opened streetscape is reflected in the polished granite on the back wall of the lobby, a wide open space with art installations that in turn mirror the scene outside.
Reflection is a running theme in both the literal and figurative sense on the inside and outside the building.
"Tower 4 faces the park, the memorial park in which the office lobby has floor to ceiling glass and embraces the park to become one with it," said Maki and Associates Architect Gary Kamemoto.
The official opening does not mean tenants are moving in right away. Now they'll be allowed to build out their space. People are expected to be working here early next year.
So far, about 50 percent of the space is leased, mostly to the Port Authority. Silverstein Properties expects the building's dramatic views and other features will be a selling point to potential tenants.
"This is a green building, this is a high-tech building, these are the kind of buildings that people want to work in because the air quality is better, they get more light," Lieber said.
The 57th floor terrace offers panoramic views of the entire city, including 4 World Trade's most famous neighbor, One World Trade Center, which is scheduled to open sometime next year.
In fact, construction work continues on other buildings across the site.
"There is more work to be done, but I think we have crossed a major barrier with the opening of the 1st office building at the site," Lieber said.
It's a milestone that's been 12 years in the making.

I had my leg/ankle worked on by dr malish. I severed all the tendons and 1 of the arterys connecting my leg to the foot. I was In so much pain n discomfort up till I saw him and had surgery. I had to wait 2 days to see finally get the operation. I rated on time 5/5 still because I know how busy and important her is. I was so happy n pain free after the surgery. He repaired it like I couldn't believe. He was honest, straight to the point which is the way it should be, even if I didn't like what I was hearing. His team and staff were amazing and very friendly. I was able to laugh n joke with them before I went under. His team and himself were incredible and I would highly recommend him. Thank you to him and his team who fixed, helped and always followed up with me untill I am 100% again!!

Dr. Malish was working out of Vancouver (I believe he usually works in Kelowna) and we are lucky to have him. Tore my Achilles tendon June 10, 2013 - that was the bad news. Got it repaired by Dr. Malish - that was the great news. His bedside manner was fantastic and he did a great job on the surgery. Kudos goes to hom and his whole operating team including Nurse Twee, Dr. Meikle - who did a great job on thae anaesthesia and Dr. Voorhoeve a resident surgeon who hopefully stays in Vancouver as well. I highly recommend anyone who is part of this team.

Had a left knee total replacement almost two years ago..have had pain and discomfort ever since. Don,t know why my replacement was so bad. Had a second operation on the patella by another doctor in hopes of helping but so far I am still in pain and discomfort..have been told I will just have to live with it as all knee replacements are not to the patients satisfaction.

Earlier this month, hundreds of schoolgirls were kidnapped in northeastern Nigeria by Boko Haram, an armed group fighting for a state governed by sharia law. While there's no question that this is a major news story, the media coverage has been patchy.
First, there is the challenge for the reporters on the ground. Access to Nigeria's northeast is fraught with logistical and security concerns. Boko Haram's name translates as "Western education is forbidden", and foreign media workers present in the area would run the risk of incurring their anger. The lack of coverage may also be due to the Nigerian government itself. President Goodluck Jonathan has promised to crush Boko Haram - a movement thought to be responsible for more than 1,500 deaths already this year - and too much media attention given to the group's activities could undermine the president's credibility.
Helping us to explain how and why the media has struggled with this story are: Mustapha Mohamed, senior reporter for AIT; Comfort Ero, Africa Programme Director for the International Crisis Group; African affairs specialist Ayo Johnson; and freelance journalist Andrew Walker.
In other media news this week: While court proceedings against Al Jazeera journalists in Egypt continue, the Qatar-funded network hits back with a $150m lawsuit; dissident journalists and bloggers are arrested in Ethiopia, accused of sowing instability; and Turkey deports another foreign journalist, this time an Azerbaijani who had reported on human rights issues in both Turkey and his home country.
Our feature this week is a look at one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists, the Philippines. This is a country where media workers can make powerful enemies and all too often pay the ultimate price. The perpetrators of media murders are rarely brought to justice, as with the 2009 Maguindanao massacre in which 34 journalists were among the 58 people killed. The killing of Rubylita Garcia in April has brought the story back into our spotlight - the Listening Post's Meenakshi Ravi reports.
Our Web Video of the Week is a clever combination of animation and live action that pits two teams in a death match fought with guns and other fantastical hardware that spring to life from simple wall drawings. "Chalk Warfare 3.0" is clearly inspired by the movies and video games that its 17-year-old creators - Sam Wickert and Eric Leigh of South Carolina's "So Krispy Media" - are undoubtedly immersed in. It has already racked up more than two million hits and it brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "draw your weapons!"

Sheriffs from around Missouri want state lawmakers to tighten the requirements needed to become a county's sheriff.
Cape Girardeau County Sheriff John Jordan (R) told a State House committee today that the only current requirements for potential candidates are that they are "breathing," and can pay the $50 filing fee. He wants lawmakers to craft legislation that would require sheriff's candidates to have prior law enforcement experience.
A law enforcement group is supporting legislation to address a backlog of jail inmates waiting to be transferred to crowded state psychiatric facilities.

Accrington midfielder George Miller has moved to Skrill Premier side Chester on loan in a bid to get more first-team football.

The 22-year-old, who will stay with the non-league outfit until January 4, has featured five times for Stanley this season but, with James Beattie's side in such impressive form and their injury list subsiding somewhat in recent weeks, Miller has moved away for more regular action.
"This is a great chance for George to go out and get some game time," Beattie told the club's official website.
"We sat down earlier and had a chat and he agreed with me that it's a good opportunity.
"He'll still be with us for training day to day and will then be able to play some matches on a Saturday afternoon. It's good for the club and good for him."

Rob Reiner hasn't made a thriller (or, arguably, thrilling movie) since 1994′s A Few Good Men — unless you, personally, want to make some (any) kind of case for Ghosts of Mississippi — and, since the latter, he's dealt exclusively in the department of romantic comedies or nostalgia pieces. While that's all well and good for his generally nonrestrictive, easy-going career, a change of pace and return to the Misery days is in store.
THR has learned that, on his next outing, Reiner will tackle a Cape Fear-like psychological piece titled You Belong to Me. Despite that quick comparison, however, he's only doing this film because, in the director's own words, "it's hard to find a story that he hasn't seen before." What places this apart from the competition? Both "a deep psychological bent" and, of course, "a big twist" that snuck up and floored him, if you'll allow me to channel Peter Travers for one second.
David Murray has written You Belong to Me, a story in which the lead, a psychiatrist, makes the fatal error of sharing his own personal feelings and thoughts with patients. (The rest of the main cast sounds rather small, what with it also being comprised of a main patient and the protagonist's wife & daughter.)
I'll take Reiner's word on this whole "different" and "shocking" element; there's no real reason for him to go back to the genre, anyway, so something really catching his attention in this manner, ideally, means we can expect a different spin on the well-worn. Now, if it's really any good is the big question we'll have to ask from here on out.
Southpaw Entertainment and Stone Village will produce You Belong to Me, which will begin shooting this fall. The director's next film, The Magic of Belle Isle, will be released in two weeks.
Is there any curiosity about Reiner jumping back into the genre?

Seattle Times "Seahawks safety Earl Thomas was asked if he was surprised if the Rams' fumble at the end of Seattle's 28-26 loss wasn't reviewed.

As for #Seahawks, source says top priority this offseason is to ink Earl Thomas to an extension. Sherman may wait depending on available $$
SI.com "It may be true, as Richard Sherman likes to say, that he is the best cornerback in the NFL.

From Dictatorship to Democracy: A Conceptual Framework for Liberation
Albert Einstein Institution, 2008 - Civil disobedience - 93 pages
What people are saying - Write a review
Political scientist Gene Sharp wrote this powerful essay in 1993 to support the resistance movement in Burma, where the government sentenced people who owned this booklet to seven years in jail. Since then, opponents of oppression � most notably in the Arab uprisings of 2011 � have distributed this text widely to political and social activists who want to apply Sharp�s 40 years of research, experience and writing about nonviolent struggles, dictatorships and resistance movements. Sharp distills his work on political theory and sociology into a readable, tight, practical volume. Its appendix lists dozens of specific tactics for organizers who want to mount peaceful campaigns against established oppressive forces. getAbstract recommends this influential pamphlet to everybody interested in understanding how peaceful revolutions work.
More information about this book/pamphlet:
This book has been used around the world as blue print and guide in leading democratic opposition under authoritarian governments. Everyone in the democracy field must read it.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime
Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime News
Rumors that Samsung would be introducing an upgraded version of the Samsung Galaxy S5 have been running rampant for quite some time. The device seems to have been officially unveiled.
Today another photo of the Galaxy F in the wild has surfaced, once again showing what appears to be a metal back. The rumors suggest that this back is indeed aluminum, but it could also be yet another faux texture from Sammy.
We've talked about the Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime to no end lately, but throughout all that talk we haven't actually seen anything. That might have changed this morning, though, with newly leaked photos reportedly giving us a glimpse at the premium device.
The Galaxy S5 Prime and Google Play edition have just received their Bluetooth certification. Looks like these devices are primed for a release in the very near future (see what we did there?).
Need more evidence that Samsung is looking to bring out a more powerful version of their 2014 flagship Samsung Galaxy S5? The device — which we've been calling the Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime to this point — has popped in a Hong Kong pricing database.
We could be closer to the launch of Samsung's rumored "premium" Galaxy S5 sooner than we thought. According to sources of AsiaToday's, the Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime should be headed our way this June.
Samsung could be looking to rectify the shortcomings of the Galaxy S5 with a new device rumored to be on the way. SamMobile has caught wind of a user agent profile detailing a phone codenamed the Samsung "KQ."
The alleged higher-end Samsung Galaxy S5 "Prime" has appeared in an Indian shipping manifest. Do rumors of a super premium Galaxy S5 have more legs to stand on?
