From a jazzy animated love story set in pre-Castro Cuba to the chronicle of a chimp that was raised as a human, there's something for almost everyone at Miami International Film Festival, which will screen 100 films from 40 countries beginning this week.
There are Oscar-nominated films, international films, the requisite local-focus films, a film that presciently foreshadows the popular uprising in Egypt, and even a film starring rapper Fifty Cent as a football star with cancer. And if your preference is nonfiction, MIFF has also gone doc-crazy with 15 documentaries from ten countries, ranging in topic from the dying newspaper industry to a Liberian warrior who fought ass-bare in battle.
As always, a highlight of the festival is the Florida Focus series that will showcase the work of local talents and filmmakers. Among this year's notable entries is Bill Bilowit's Making S***Up, an eclectic documentary about eccentric and talented local conceptual artist Bert Rodriguez's battle with the personal demons that inspire his work.
This year's featured documentary is Morgan Spurlock's The Greatest Movie Ever Sold. Spurlock burst onto the scene in 2004 with his Academy Award-nominated month-long-McDonald's-binge flick Super Size Me. This time around, Spurlock examines how modern advertising impacts our minds and wallets, through corporate branding and product placement, as he comically seeks corporate sponsors to finance his film.
MIFF will also host a Career Achievement Tribute on Sunday, March 6, to honor Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier (Brothers, After the Wedding, Things We Lost in the Fire). The Festival will screen her latest film, the 2011 Golden Globe winner for Best Foreign Film, In a Better World.
"Dreams are a key theme of MIFF 2011," says Film Fest Executive Director Jaie Laplante. "The directors of these films are a true 'dream team' of cinematic artists. Their work will bestow a wizardly enchantment on this year's MIFF ticket buyers."
Here are reviews for some of the less talked about, but no less fantastic and enthralling, flicks at MIFF:

Trans-Pacific Aerospace Announces NAVAIR Test Approval; Adds Jason Arnold And Clairmont Griffith To Board Of Directors
Trans-Pacific Aerospace Company, Inc. (OTCBB: TPAC) reported today that the U.S. Navy has completed tests of spherical bearings made by its China subsidiary under SAE Aerospace Standard 81820.
"Our bearings have passed all of the dynamic testing and the Navy has given our bearings verbal approval contingent upon a facility inspection and approval of packaging," said Bill McKay, Trans-Pacific Aerospace CEO. "Once that's completed, our factory in Guangzhou will become the first and only manufacturer in China qualified to produce SAE-AS81820 aerospace quality bearings. "Qualification is a difficult achievement to obtain and this approval is a testament to the skill and dedication of our engineering and manufacturing personnel. We do not see the remaining contingencies of packaging and facility inspection as significant hurdles to overcome, but merely procedural requirements. We are confident in our abilities to satisfy these requirements."
Bearings made by Godfrey Guangzhou Aerospace Bearings, a wholly owned foreign enterprise of Godfrey (China) Limited, Trans-Pacific Aerospace Company's 25%-owned subsidiary, demonstrated performance beyond technical specifications.
NAVAIR, the U.S. Navy qualification agency for SAE aerospace parts, conducted certification procedures that included dynamic tests for radial static limit load, axial static limit load, oscillation under radial load, no load rotational breakaway torque, fluid contamination, sub zero temperature, bond integrity and peel strength.China is the world's largest aviation market outside of the United States, with forecasters like Boeing predicting it will need 5,260 new airplanes over the next 20 years. Bearings, such as those manufactured by Trans-Pacific Aerospace's China factory, are used throughout each aircraft. Separately, Jason Arnold and Clairmont Griffith were named to Trans-Pacific Aerospace's board of directors. Arnold has nearly 25 years of experience in the aerospace industry, regularly conducting business with such companies as Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and Embraer. Griffith is an entrepreneur, and is currently chief of perioperative services and chairman of the department of anesthesiology at Howard University Hospital. He is also a professor at Howard University College of Medicine.

Violating His Own Rule, Judge Fines Himself
By editor
Originally published on Tue April 16, 2013 9:04 am
Good morning. I'm David Greene. Michigan Judge Raymond Voet does not like cell phones in his courtroom. During his years on the bench, he's confiscated phones from police, from attorneys, from witnesses - holding them in contempt. So when his own phone, a new touch screen that he wasn't quite familiar with, began making sounds last week, he doled out justice with equal severity. He held himself in contempt and paid a fine, saying judges are human; they are not above the rules. You're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Mark Jensen, President of Transport Environmental Systems, Inc., said, "I want to particularly thank West Carteret Water Corporation for keeping the water flowing, as well as, Carteret-Craven Electric Cooperative for their diligence in restoring of power."
Dr. Jensen continued, "We appreciate that CCEC Communications Director Lisa Galizia kept us informed as to their progress."
We are thankful the damage here was minimal. Many of our neighbors have had water damage. We realize that our neighbors Down East Carteret County were harder hit with wind, flooding, and power outages. Power continues to be an issue for them.

Sep 21, 2012Was disappointed with the overall sound. Too much singing, less rapping. They tried to do way too much with the production. Where's Yasiin Bey, Q-Tip, Consequence, Mr. Hudson? Why is 2 Chainz on three songs?
Dec 21, 2012For all its flaws and excesses, Cruel Summer is an order of magnitude above the dreck of 808s and Heartbreak (2008), and if it doesn't outshine any of Ye's other solo works, I'd argue that it's a deeper and bolder album than last year's Watch the Throne.
Oct 25, 2012Cruel Summer is a mistitled fireworks show from Kanye West and his G.O.O.D. Music label/roster/empire, one that comes off as mixtape-minded follow-up to his flossy Jay-Z team-up Watch the Throne.
Oct 25, 2012From start to finish, this album is a great look at what G.O.O.D. Music has to offer. [No. 225, p.95]

An enumeration of everything that's wrong with the holiday toy
You may have heard of the Elf on the Shelf, or you may not have. A lot depends on whether or not you have kids, and how old they are (the Elf's target consumers are families with very little kids) and where you live (the Elf hails from Marietta, Georgia, and an informal poll of my Facebook friends indicates that his biggest fan base is suburban—more on that later).
If you're unfamiliar with the phenomenon, this is what you need to know: It's a doll that parents place around the house during run-up to Christmas. Parents warn their kids that the Elf is watching them to be sure they're being good. It's massively popular, with annual sales of $10 million and an expanding product line that now includes several versions of the Elf doll, plus book and DVD. And I detest it. How do I hate the Elf on the Shelf? Let me count the ways.
It's a marketing juggernaut dressed up as a "tradition." Yes, all traditions are ultimately man-made and therefore artificial, but there's something uniquely fake about the Elf. Sisters Chanda Bell and Christa Pitts grew up with an elf, Fisbee, who arrived at their house on Thanksgiving, took up a new position each day in their house, and departed at Christmas. Chanda and her mother, Carol Aebersold, wrote up their elf's story and Christa took a leave of absence from her job with QVC to help them self-publish the book in 2005 (after several publishers had turned them down). By the end of 2010, they had sold 1.5 million copies. In November 2011, an Elf on the Shelf movie aired on CBS. All this for a book and doll that cobbles together elements from the pop-cultural junkheap in a not-very-original way. The doll is a bit of Disney's Pinocchio mixed with Peter Pan, the book a plodding rhyming thing slightly less well-written than your average greeting card. And the whole certificate of-adoption thing? Straight out of the Cabbage Patch.
Other relatively newfangled holiday traditions have often started slowly and gained traction—watching Will Ferrel's Elf, for instance (no relation, by the way), or Love, Actually (whose reviews were tepid, actually, before it gradually won us all over). They worm their way into our hearts, becoming holiday traditions, rather than bowling us over with strident demands. Instant popularity and cult-like fans (thousands of whom complained after a Good Morning America segment in which host Lara Spencer was apparently inappropriately friendly with the Elf—they aren't supposed to be touched, lest their magical powers drain away—leading to this mortifying on-air apology) do not a classic make. If they did, Justin Bieber would be an American institution.
Furthermore, by insisting that the Elf's job begins on Thanksgiving, the Elf on the Shelf contributes to holiday creep, intruding on the one holiday that hasn't been sullied by product tie-ins or faux legends—unless you count the myths and stories about that fabled first Thanksgiving. The creep is commercial, too. Unlike holiday favorites that cost little or no money—reciting 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, decorating the tree together with hand-me-down and homemade ornaments, singing carols—the Elf is an endless opportunity to purchase things. There's the Elf itself, packaged with the book; the plush Elf (for cuddling, as the "real" Elf can't be touched); the Elf accessories (a skirt to make your Elf a girl is new this year); and the DVD. A woman in the Atlanta suburbs—epicenter of Elf mania - reports that she knows families in which the Elf not only starts work on Thanksgiving, he begins dispensing gifts then, too. "They bring presents—actual wrapped gifts—EVERY day until Christmas," she told me. "Also, some elves we know of have done things like bake cookies or a cake for their children after they are asleep." All of which leads me to my next objection:
The Elf drives mothers crazy. In places where nearly every family boasts an Elf, an arms race occurs, egged on by kids bringing home stories of what their classmates' elves are up to. Part of the Elf Legend is that the Elf returns each night to the North Pole, to tell Santa what's going on in the household where he lives. Each morning he returns, landing in a different spot. But it's not enough in some neighborhoods just to move the Elf each night while the kids sleep; mothers buy and wrap gifts for the Elf to distribute, bake cookies, write little notes.

Noctua NH-D15 review
We review the all new Noctua NH-D15 dual-fan cooler. The new flagship product from Noctua is huge in both size and performance. The successor for the NH-D14 premium CPU cooler has a six heatpipe dual radiator design to improve on cooling performance and noise levels. Obviously what catches the eye is that dual radiator allowing you to use one or even two 140mm fans (included).Read article

Noctua NH-D14 review
It is called the Noctua NH-D14 premium cooler -- but as I like to call it ... the Big Ben. Noctua had to go back to the drawing board and came up with the NH-D14 premium CPU cooler. It is a six heatpipe dual radiator design to improve both cooling performance and noise levels. Obviously what catches the eyes is that dual radiator uneven design with a 140mm fan sitting smack down in the middle of the cooler.Read article

December 21, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) - An oil painting by German abstract artist Gerhard Richter (GEHR'-hahrd RIHK'-tur) from Eric Clapton's collection is heading for a New York City auction.
Christie's auction house says "Abstraktes Bild" is estimated to sell for $20 million to $25 million on Nov. 12. It says the English guitarist and songwriter bought the painting at auction in 2001.
The large oil painting was executed in 1994. It has a rich palette of red, purple, violet and yellow evocative of a fall landscape.
Richter's "Domplatz, Mailand" (DOHM'-plahtz MY'-lahnd) set a record for any living artist at auction in May when it sold at Sotheby's for $37 million.

BT For Life Sciences Launches Schrodinger Into The Cloud
IRVING, Texas, May 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- BT and Schrodinger, Inc. today announced that the two companies are now working together to accelerate the process of drug discovery and development using the BT for Life Sciences cloud platform and Schrodinger's powerful scientific software applications.
As part of the joint initiative, Schrodinger becomes a Strategic Member of the BT for Life Sciences partner ecosystem, helping provide research solutions to scientists on a global basis. Schrodinger's software tools will be integrated into BT for Life Sciences as part of BT's R&D Workbench environment. Built on the BT Cloud Compute platform and unveiled at the 10 th Annual BioIT World meeting last year, BT for Life Sciences is the first cloud service designed to enable collaboration within the life sciences industry for increased productivity in discovery, research and development.
One of Schrodinger's key applications, hosted Seurat, will soon be available on the BT Cloud Compute Platform. This application contains tools that help researchers in the discovery and optimization of drug research and provides a means for sharing real-time analysis across the organization. Using the BT platform, Schrodinger can easily integrate data and scientific business processes, enhancing the early discovery process so that ultimately better compounds can be brought to the clinic faster.
Because BT for Life Sciences was developed as a secure and segregated platform for scientists, it will enable Schrodinger to work with major pharmaceutical companies and other biotech organizations that need faster and more innovative approaches to drug discovery and development. In the past, researchers would typically provide the IT department with the requirements for each in silico experiment, which could mean a delay in research and discovery as the equipment was purchased and the platform built. Using BT's cloud services for Life Sciences, Schrodinger can now offer their applications quickly and easily with a click-to-launch approach that uses secure, compliant, and scalable cloud computing, storage and databanks, in order to process demanding scientific analysis.Dr. Ramy Farid, Schrodinger's president, said: "Integrating Schrodinger's scientific breakthroughs with BT's cloud services takes us one step closer in our mission to empower researchers to improve human health and quality of life through advanced computational techniques. We believe that providing our applications in BT's cloud environment could transform the way chemists discover and design compounds and drugs." Bas Burger, president of Pharmaceutical & Chemical for BT Global Services, said: "Drawing on BT's years of experience and expertise in the pharmaceutical industry, our cloud-based service can help accelerate the process of R&D for companies like Schrodinger. Our goal is to provide the best solutions to our global pharmaceutical customers that will enable them to meet their mission." For further information All news releases can be accessed at our web sites: http://www.globalservices.bt.com/us/en/news and http://www.btplc.com/news About BT BT is one of the world's leading providers of communications services and solutions, serving customers in more than 170 countries.

This Stock Market Is Not for Amateurs, Part 2
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Have I ever mentioned the word "volatility" in reference to the stock market in 2014? Of course I have! Case in point: Monday.
The DJIA was down 124.48 points Monday morning, the S&P 500 was down 14.37, the Nasdaq was lower by 37.55 and the Russell 2000 was lower by 13.70 points.
By late morning, three of the four major indexes had recouped all their losses and turned green. The DJIA finished the trading day up 17.66 points at 16530.55 and the S&P closed up 3.52 points at 1884.66. The Nasdaq was the big winner today, closing up 14.16 at 4138.06. The Russell 2000 closed down 2.50 points at 1126.30.
The three big momentum stocks led by Apple (AAPL), Facebook (FB) and Netflix (NFLX) powered the markets higher. There is no question the hedge fund community still needs to own the momentum stocks right now.The big negative in trading Monday was, once again, volume or lack thereof. The S&P 500 Trust Series ETF (SPY) had its third-lowest volume day of 2014, trading 71.6 million shares. Where is the buying conviction in this market? As I have said on many occasion, when a stock market continues to rise on lower volume and unchanged volatility, that is bad. The market is getting closer and closer to falling under its own weight. The Nasdaq and the S&P 500 are the two indexes that are in overbought territory, according to my algorithm process. The DJIA had a negative internal correlation. That simply means the DJIA index closed higher on Monday as the algorithm number was heading lower. The Russell 2000 continues to march to its own drummer. It has not participated at all with the other indexes, continuing lower. I suspect that the market will open Tuesday trading to the upside as the algorithm-programed machines continue to push the S&P index closer to the extreme overbought signal. Traders and investors need to be patient. The amount of risk that is involved in chasing or buying this market at these levels is extreme. You must allow the high frequency traders do what they do. Your job is to be cautious and wait for better buying opportunities at lower prices. Buying a market that is approaching extreme overbought signals is not a recipe for success. Contrary to what most Wall Street pundits believe, the falling interest rates in the bond market is a sign of a growth slowing economy. The spread between the 10-year and the two-year note is huge. Another sign of a growth slowing signal. Be careful out there. This market is treacherous. On Friday I was long the ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF, (UVXY). I sold those shares this morning on the ramp higher for a 2.58% gain. At the close of trading, I added those shares back. At the time of publication the author was long UVXY.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A group of death in a multi-stage tournament is a group which is unusually competitive, because the number of strong competitors in the group is greater than the number of qualifying places available for the next phase of the tournament. Thus, in the group phase, one or more strong competitors in the "group of death" will necessarily be eliminated, who would otherwise have been expected to progress further in the tournament. The informal term was first used for groups in the FIFA World Cup finals. It is now also used in other association football tournaments and other sports.
After the draw for a tournament has been made, debates often arise about which of the preliminary groups is "the" group of death. This happens for several reasons: in part, from more general debates about the relative strengths of the various competitors; but, additionally, because there is no exact definition of the term "group of death". Sometimes the term simply means the group with the strongest competitors, implying there is always precisely one such group; other definitions allow for multiple groups of death, and for none at all. The term is sometimes derided as a journalistic cliché[1][2][3] or oversimplification.[4][5]
The term "group of death" was coined (as Spanish grupo de la muerte) by Mexican journalists for Group 3 of the 1970 World Cup.[6][7][8][9] This featured reigning champions England, favourites and eventual champions Brazil, 1962 runners-up Czechoslovakia, and Romania.
It was used again in Mexico for the second-phase Group C in the 1982 World Cup in Spain.[10] This grouped defending champions Argentina, the eventual champions Italy, and Brazil.[11] In 2007, The Guardian called this the deadliest-ever Group of Death.[12]
It was popularized after the draw for the 1986 FIFA World Cup when Uruguay manager Omar Borrás so described Group E, which included Uruguay, West Germany, Denmark, and Scotland.[13][14] As with the 1970 group, this was the only one with all four teams from Europe and South America. The label was widely repeated by the English-language media.[15][16][17][18][19][20][21] By the 1986 tournament rules, two or three of the four teams in each group would progress to the knockout phase; in the event, Scotland was the only team not to qualify from the prototypical "group of death". Uruguay were criticized for persistent foul play in the decisive match with Scotland; Borrás was suspended for retorting, "The Group of Death? Yes, there was a murderer on the field today. The referee."[22]
Tournaments are often seeded to provide an even distribution of strong and weak competitors across all preliminary groups.[23] However, in association football, the ranking methods used for seeding may be crude. In the World Cup, the usual strategy is for each group to contain one seeded team and three unseeded teams, the unseeded teams picked from separate regional confederations.[24] Some CONCACAF, African and Asian teams are significantly stronger than others.[13] The net result is that some groups may have stronger teams than others.[25]
The reigning champion and the host nation or nations are traditionally among the seeds.[25] In the case of Euro 2008, this meant three of the four seeds were among the weakest teams in the tournament: hosts Austria and Switzerland, and surprise 2004 champions Greece. 2006 World Cup finalists France and Italy were unseeded and ended up in Group C with Netherlands and Romania.[26][27] This was considered a "group of death" with Romania as underdogs against three of Europe's top sides.[28][29]
In the World Cup finals, the European Championships, and the Champions League, each preliminary group has four teams, of which two qualify for the knockout phase. Some sources imply all four teams must be in contention for a "group of death";[25][30][31] others allow for three teams fighting for two places, with one underdog making up the numbers.[32] In the latter case, the term gains an addition facet from the expected "death" of the weak team: Ally McCoist[33] and the Glasgow Herald[34] described Euro 1992 Group B as the "Group of Certain Death", because Scotland were grouped with Netherlands, Germany, and the CIS. More extreme still, Ian Paul suggested Semi-final Group B of the 1992–93 UEFA Champions League was a "group of death" for three of the four teams, with Milan almost sure to top the group and reach the final.[2] (Milan did in fact win all six matches against IFK Göteborg, Porto, and PSV Eindhoven.)
In the case of UEFA qualifying tournaments, groups have deeper seeding and always feature some weaker teams. For example, Qualifying Group B for Euro 2008 was dubbed the "group of death" in Scotland because Scotland were drawn against Italy, France, and Ukraine, respectively champion, finalist, and quarter-finalist at the 2006 World Cup; the presence in the group of Lithuania, Georgia, Faroe Islands did not contribute to the label.[1][35]
There is often an assumption that a tournament has precisely one Group of Death.[36][37][38][39] In the 1994 World Cup, Group E (Italy, Ireland, Mexico, Norway) was often given the label;[3][4][30][31][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] Brazil's coach Carlos Alberto Parreira said it was Group B (Brazil, Russia, Cameroon, Sweden);[50] some reporters suggested both were "groups of death".[51][52]
On the other hand, after the draw for the 2010 World Cup finals, some commentators said there was no group of death.[53][53][54] Sports Illustrated said Group G was the group of death because it had two of the FIFA top 5 in Brazil and Portugal and the second-ranked African team in Ivory Coast; it described fourth team North Korea as "unenviable underdog".[55] On the other hand, Andrew Downie of the Christian Science Monitor said "No self-respecting Group of Death would be caught dead with North Korea in it ... As far as I'm concerned, there is no Group of Death in this World Cup."[56]
The "Group of Death" may simply be the one with the strongest teams, or the most strong teams.[4][15][17] Using FIFA World Rankings as a measure of the strength of the teams, The Guardian calculated in 2007 that the strongest "Group of Death" was Euro 1996 Group C. The teams (and world rankings) were Germany (2), Russia (3), Italy (7), and Czech Republic (10).[12][13][57] This record was exceeded by the May 2012 rankings for Euro 2012 Group B, with Germany (2), The Netherlands (4), Portugal (5) and Denmark (10),[58] but not the June rankings immediately before the tournament (3, 4, 10, 9 respectively)[59][60] In women's football, 2007 World Cup Group B featured three of the top five teams in the FIFA Women's World Rankings entering the tournament —the USA (1), Sweden (3), and North Korea (5)— with Nigeria (24) being the "minnows".[61][62]
There may be an emphasis on the "group of death" having a tight finish, with all four teams in contention.[38] This was the case in Group F of the 1990 World Cup, in which five of the six matches were drawn,[63] and in Group E of the 1994 World Cup, when all four teams finished level on points and goal difference.[41]
However, the label is usually applied in anticipation of the tournament rather than in retrospect.[5] Simon Burnton comments, "Inevitably, one of the big teams involved gets so scared about being in the Group of Death that they play really badly, meaning not only that they go home in disappointment and disgrace, but that the group turns out not to be so very troublesome after all.".[64] David Lacey said, "Draws may nominate a group of death but results decide its real mortality rating. France and Argentina found this out in Japan."[13] Lacey also said, "There are groups of death and groups of death wishes. In Euro 2000 Group D looked daunting but was shrugged aside by Netherlands, the co-hosts, and France, the eventual champions, with the Czechs, runners-up in 1996, and the Danes, winners in 1992, offering scant resistance. Group A turned out to be the killer."
Lack of consensus about which is the group of death can fuel debates among fans and journalists.[65] In the 2002 World Cup, The Guardian called Group F (Sweden, England, Argentina, Nigeria) "the group of death"[13][66] and Group E (Germany, Ireland Rep, Cameroon, Saudi Arabia) "The other Group of Death".[67] South Koreans called Group D (Korea Rep, United States, Portugal, Poland) the "Real Group of Death".[68] In the 2006 World Cup, both Group C (Argentina, Netherlands, Côte d'Ivoire, Serbia and Montenegro)[69][70] and Group E (Italy, Ghana, Czech Republic, United States)[57] were nominated as "group of death".[38] In the 2014 World Cup, three groups were acknowledged in the media as "group of death": Group B (Spain, Netherlands, Chile, Australia),[71] Group D (Uruguay, Costa Rica, England, Italy),[72] and Group G (Germany, Portugal, Ghana, United States);[73][74] Group G was considered especially difficult in the US, which had been eliminated by its "weakest" team, Ghana, in each of the past two tournaments.
Fans may describe as the "group of death" any tough group which contains their favoured team. George Vecsey says, "In soccer, every nation always thinks it has been stiffed into the toughest pool, the Group of Death."[75] In this sense, David Warren comments that a "top seeding in a finals group gives a country a good chance to advance and the best chance to avoid a so-called group of death".[76]
There's also a countermovement part of the debate. After the final draw of the 2014 World Cup, the Belgian media spoke of a "fortunate group" for the 'Red Devils',[77] while the French media spoke of "the most affordable" group for 'Les Bleus'.[78] Swiss media spoke of the national team, part of Group E, as "far from being [in] the group of 'death'".[79] At the same time Vicente del Bosque, head of the Spanish national football team (part of Group B, considered one of the groups of death),[71] insisted that "Spain [is] not in [the] 'Group of Death'. We have to define it as complicated but I don't believe this is the Group of Death. There are others very hard. But our group is difficult."[80]
The label "group of death" has been used in other sports than association football; for example:
"Group of death" has occasionally been used to characterise a qualifying group in some other way. The southern section preliminary round Group 5 of the 1990-91 Leyland DAF Cup had lowly teams replaying poorly-attended matches;[95] after many postponements, Robert Pryce commented: "The Leyland Daf Cup Southern Section preliminary round's Group of Death has achieved almost total rigor mortis."[96]
Scotland manager Andy Roxburgh described Euro 1992 qualifying Group 2 as a "group of death" in a different sense because of the lack of a glamorous opponent "to get people out of the house and into Hampden Park."[97] The group combined Bulgaria, Romania, San Marino, Scotland, and Switzerland.
The Asian final qualifying group for the 1994 World Cup featured two sets of militantly hostile neighbours: Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia; and North Korea, South Korea, and Japan. This was called the "group of death" for black humour.[98][99][100]
A similar quip was made of the UEFA qualifying group 1 for the 1998 World Cup:
|The toughest group in the World Cup qualifying competition is the Group of Death. For the 1998 qualifiers, group one takes the title with ease. Bosnia, Croatia and Slovenia were drawn in group one. . . . There was, mercifully, no Serb-dominated rump Yugoslavia drawn in the same group. But there was, as far as the others are concerned, the next worse thing: the Greeks. They share the Orthodox religion with the Serbs, and give them strong diplomatic support. Pity Denmark, the reigning European champions, who make up the group.[101]
Occasionally, alternatives to "group of death" are proffered. Javier Clemente said of 1998 World Cup Group D, "This is not the group of death, as some people have said. It is the group of heart attacks"[102] John Harrell said of 1994 World Cup Group E, "The characterization might be a bit harsh. Perhaps the 'Group of Surprises' is a better term."[4]
Sometimes the excitement of a close contest between high-quality teams has suggested the positive "group of life" is more appropriate than "group of death".[103] Of 2002 World Cup Group F, Paul Wilson said, "England's group is not so much the group of death as the group of life, for few others promise any drama"[23] Of 2006 World Cup Group C, Gary Lineker said after Argentina's demolition of Serbia and Montenegro, "Argentina produced one of the great performances in recent World Cup history. The group of death has become the group of life."[104]
However, "Group of Life" has also been used as the opposite of "Group of Death", to mean an easy group with weak teams: examples include 2002 World Cup Group H;[23][105] 2006 World Cup UEFA qualifying Group 6;[106] 2006 World Cup Group D;[107] and 2010 World Cup Group C.[108] Chuck Culpepper wrote of 2006 World Cup Group B, 'If each World Cup draw brings a "Group of Death," anointed for its incomparable rigor among the eight groups, England 2006 surely occupies the Group of Life, or the Group of Tranquillity, or the Group of So Few Worries We Spent All Day Yesterday Following the Metatarsal Melodrama Rather Than Worry About Trinidad and Tobago.'[109]
1986 World Cup Group F, with two goals in the first four games combined, was dubbed the "Group of Sleep".[110][111]
Before the UEFA Euro 2012 tournament draw, financial writer Chris Sloley coined the term "Group of Debt" for a possible group comprising PIIGS indebted countries;[112] in the event, three of these (Spain, Italy and the Republic of Ireland) were grouped together with Croatia in Group C, while Greece and Portugal were in other groups.
Group G in the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League, competed between Barcelona, A.C. Milan, Ajax and Celtic, was coined by many as the "Group of Champions" due to the four teams having won the European Cup/Trophy 16 times between them.

Digital Collections DatabaseThursday, September 13th, 2012
Q. The Digital Collections database seems to be hung. I can't access it, and I get an error message: "There was an error retrieving the list of collections." Any chance you can fix this?
A. I checked the web pages "Discover Digital Collections" at http://www.lib.sfu.ca/special-collections/digital-collections and its sister page at http://content.lib.sfu.ca/cdm/ and both seem accessible now although our IT technician reports that there were some problems with these collections earlier this afternoon. Please try again and let me know if you continue to encounter error messages. If you do, please send me the URL of the page that displays the error and we'll look further.
Thank you,

On June 18, 2012, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) launched its website designed to educate nonunion employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). Protected Concerted Activity describes the rights of employees to act together for their mutual aid and protection, details how employees may access the NLRB's processes to have alleged employer violations redressed and specifically notes that these rights apply to employees "even if they are not in a union." The website was intended to be a companion piece to the Employee Rights poster that the NLRB, by rule, directed employers to hang in their workplaces. Although initially set to go in effect April 30, 2012, implementation of the Employee Rights poster rule has been delayed pending litigation over the Board's authority to promulgate the rule.
Visitors to the website are given 11 examples of the types of conduct the NLRB has deemed unlawful under the NLRA and descriptions of the relief granted. All of the examples involve employee discharges or discipline and the success of the Board in obtaining reinstatement to employment with full back pay or substantial payments (in one case, $900,000) in return for the employee's waiver of the right to return to work. The examples include:
As the foregoing examples illustrate, the Board is eager to inform non-union employees that any action taken for the mutual aid and protection of employees is protected under the NLRA, including when such action is taken using social media on an employee's own time and on the employee's specific page.
Although the Board currently estimates that only 5 percent of its caseload consists of non-union employee complaints, the Board is actively seeking new cases as a means to educate employees about their rights and the availability of the Board's processes to remedy violations.
Employers should train managers and supervisors to recognize activity protected by the NLRA and to avoid possible challenges to discipline and discharge decisions before the Board. Employers should also review their handbooks and policies to ensure that they do not infringe on employees' exercise of concerted, protected activity. Rules, such as those that prohibit disparagement of the employer, inappropriate behavior directed at another employee, or the unauthorized use of a company logo/name are routinely being struck down by the Board as so vague that they "could" chill an employee's interest or desire in union organizing or other concerted activities.
Remedies for these violations may go far beyond simple reinstatement of discharged employees and payment of back wages. Typical Board orders now include the reading to assembled employees of a notice of employee rights under the NLRA, including the right to promote and engage in union-related activity.

(For more campaign news, go to ELECT.)
Nov. 23 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama is using passage of the health-care law to help him get re-elected. He's just not making the sales pitch in public.
Asked at a Nov. 13 press conference in Kapolei, Hawaii, about whether he was concerned about facing voters without passage of his $447 billion jobs package, an unemployment rate of 9 percent, and voters "wondering about your leadership?," the president didn't tout his biggest domestic policy achievement. Instead, he pledged "to just keep on chipping away" at getting parts of the jobs bill passed.
The next morning at a 250-person fundraiser at a Walt Disney Co. resort on the island, Obama spent more than 30 minutes ticking off his accomplishments, including the health- care overhaul, signed into law in March of last year.
"We've already started to see what change looks like," he told the donors who spent at least $1,000 apiece to attend. "Change is the one million young Americans who are already receiving insurance that weren't getting it before."
Since July, the president has refrained at six news conferences from discussing the health-care measure that became a major issue in the 2010 midterm elections in which the Democrats lost control of the House.
'Healthy Instinct'
"Right now the White House has made the decision that jobs are the focus," said Doris Kearns Goodwin, a presidential historian. "It's probably a healthy instinct to realize that, right now, the public would rather hear about what he hopes to do to help them in the present and the future than what has been accomplished in the past."
John Feehery, a Republican strategist, had a more direct assessment of the White House objectives: "He's giving his donors red meat," he said. "Health care's not a winner for him, it's off message" for the larger public.
Republicans vying to challenge Obama in next year's election rarely miss an opportunity to talk about the issue.
Mitt Romney, who enacted a similar health-care law when he was governor of Massachusetts, yesterday in his first advertisement of the campaign vowed to "get rid of 'Obamacare'" because "it's killing jobs." Texas Governor Rick Perry routinely links "Obamacare" with "Romneycare."
"Like pit bulls, the Republicans have sunk their teeth into the health-care issue and will drag the president into it," said Andy Stern, former president of the Service Employees International Union, who pushed for the president's health-care bill.
Public Opinion Dips
Obama's job ratings on health-care policy have gone down in recent months, according to a Nov. 11-13 CNN/ORC poll. The poll found that 38 percent of respondents approve of the way he is handling health care-policy compared with 59 percent who disapprove. That's down from a Jan. 21-23 CNN survey, when 44 percent approved and 55 percent disapproved.
The Supreme Court announced on Nov. 14 they will rule on the constitutionality of the health-care overhaul, considering arguments in March on whether Congress exceeded its authority by requiring all Americans to either acquire insurance by 2014 or pay a penalty. That sets up a showdown during the 2012 election season that means Obama eventually will have to defend the legislation.
"I don't think he's going to run away from it, but I think he's aware that we're having a debate about a bill that hasn't even been fully implemented," said Stern.
Obama campaign spokeswoman Katie Hogan wouldn't comment on the president's approach to the health-care law as he seeks re- election. The White House also declined to comment.
Johnson, Reagan, Bush
The president's political strategy differs from the course taken by some of his predecessors. Former President Lyndon Johnson touted passage of his Great Society legislation, which included establishing Medicare, former President Ronald Reagan trumpeted his tax cuts, and President George W. Bush framed the 2004 re-election campaign around national security.
Obama's deviation from the norm is understandable, said Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian at Houston's Rice University.
"We're living in the age of Reagan still when people are suspicious of the federal government and so, when you get government accomplishments, you keep them under wraps," he said in an interview.
'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'
Jeff Shesol, a former speech writer for President Bill Clinton, said Obama's putting to best use the new health-care law and repeal of the Pentagon policy of "don't ask, don't tell," which prevented homosexuals from serving openly in the military.
"Donors will stand up and cheer the 'don't ask don't tell' repeal, but when he goes into, say, the Midwest to promote his jobs bill at a big rally, he's not necessarily going to talk about repeal," said Shesol.
Obama, 50, has attended 62 fundraisers -- which have included an 800-person gathering in Seattle on Sept. 25 where ticket prices started at $100 and an Oct. 4 dinner in St. Louis with about 45 people who paid at least $25,000 -- since filing for re-election in April. He's exceeded his record fundraising pace of four years ago, raising $88 million through Sept. 30, up from $80 million in the same period in 2007.
Obama's 'Checklist'
He often tells donors that he's gotten about 60 percent of his "checklist" accomplished, initiatives that have the support of the Democratic Party base and mixed reviews from independent voters. At 34 percent of the electorate, independents are tied with the number of registered Democrats and exceed registered Republicans, according to the Pew Research Center.
John Aravosis, a 2008 Obama supporter and founder of the AMERICAblog website, said the president should highlight health care and repeal of the Pentagon rules at every opportunity, "Why not just own it?"
For now, the president is opting for partial ownership.
At a Nov. 7 Washington fundraiser Obama told about 45 guests who paid at least $17,900 each, "We were able to pass health-insurance reform, Wall Street reform, end 'don't ask, don't tell,' end the war in Iraq --the list goes on."
Earlier that same day in the White House Rose Garden, he took credit for winding down of the war but remained silent on the other issues in remarks focused on tax credits for veterans.
'People Forget'
Obama was enthusiastic about his record during Oct. 24 remarks at the Spanish-style, Los Angeles home of actor Will Smith's producing partner. He told the 40 guests who paid the maximum $35,800 per ticket, including Smith, his actress wife Jada Pinkett Smith, and former Los Angeles Lakers star Earvin "Magic" Johnson: "Sometimes I think people forget how much has gotten done."
At a public event earlier in the day, he didn't remind listeners about any of those issues, talking instead about an initiative to make home refinancing easier.
At another Los Angeles fundraiser later that night at the home of actors Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas, the guests listened as Obama praised the health-care law, which he said would provide coverage "for 30 million Americans who didn't have it," his decision to end the war in Iraq, and the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell."
Obama offered insight into the White House's sensitivity to the messages he delivers to different audiences at an Aug. 11 fundraiser at film studio chairman Harvey Weinstein's West Village townhouse in New York City, where the attendees included actress Gwyneth Paltrow.
The U.S. is "a big, diverse country and not everybody agrees with me; not everybody agrees with the folks who live in Manhattan. West of here. You guys may not be familiar with it."

THURSDAY'S Roll Call
Okee Dokie, friends.............another day dawns.
Begete, I have never heard good reviews from anyone that traveled far about their electronic devices working well, it doesn't seem to be better now than it was several years ago. My brother and wife are in Europe now, they paid some extra plan to be able to call here from time to time, mainly to check on my mother, and so far, it hasn't worked yet, and they have been gone 3 weeks already, trying in all kinds of places and situations. They get through on the internet if they use Facebook private message, but Skype doesn't work at all. Gmail was supposed to work, but we have only received 2 messages from them. Doesn't seem to matter if they are in a hotel or train station or in someone's home, stuff doesn't work, and it's worse now than 3 yrs. ago, they used to be able to call with a regular cell phone, standing out in the street. They bought their I phone and one kind of tablet in order to be able to communicate, plus sister in law has an I-pad too. Bummer!! Yet the prices keep going up for their plans, whether TWC, Comcast, AT&T or what have you. They know we are addicted, as Linda says, to all this instant communication stuff.
Thanks for the input, Doris. I think we will gamble the $50 to see if it works, but not expecting much.
Have to leave very early in morning for garden club as my neighbors and I are the hostesses.
Have a good day everyone.
Good morning all and thanks Doris for opening.
Need to order and pick up the very last Rx from Sam's today (thyroid "Armour" 60 mgs to be taken with a 90 mgs that I already have filled) .
Upper 80s today but low humidity. Garbage and Recycles are at the curb.... gonna try to et a couple of stuffed leaf bags out there in time as well- need to hurry though.
Had to abandon my track walk yesterday and rush home with pain and bleeding. Am fine since later last night and this morning. That has not happened for a very long time and I did not do anything to cause it to happen. ???
Hey all
Maggie is better and went to school today. Thank goodness for quiet time yesterday or I might not have made it through. LoL
Nothing on the agenda today. Started a book last night and it isn't very good. Hope it gets better.
Have a great day everyone...
AT&T hotspot is our only internet connection. Worked great on our travels. When living in Washington we had Verizon but Verizon is not available where we current live so we switched to AT&T. As long as cell service is available it works fine for us. With the hotspot you can have up to 4 connections. We don't have a land line so we use AT&T for our cell service also.
Been busy since returning home. The AC is acting up. We need to replace the outside unit. $$$$
Doug, ain't it always something? Just like our garage door stuff last Saturday, comes up to grab yah. We have in mind to have a screen door installed for the front door, and need a larger mailbox, but all the mailboxes here are set inside brick units, so, have to have guys come and take apart the thing, and redo it to fit the mailbox inside, lol. So we haven't called them yet, because of other money grabber things inside the house. Makes yah never want to move again, that is for sure. Hope they can fix your A/C, but maybe a new one will be more efficient, please let me know the brand you would get. We have a Carrier here now.
Off to get work done before it gets hotter. :hiya:
good morning all...just checking in and wishing all y'all a good day. Pulmonologist this afternoon but I know he'll have me go for a chest x-ray and come back to him for a couple of times...hope I can get some relief soon from this hacking.
Doug, what a trouble to find when you get back home...nothing worse for a desert person than the ac unit going out...well, maybe a flash flood rushing through the house would be worser...hope you can get the ac guy right out. Last time ours went out (the darn thing shorted out) it took a couple of days before he could fix it.
Again, have a great day folks...I'll type ya later.
AC guy was here yesterday and added Freon to the old system to get us by for now. Supposed to be here to replace the unit this afternoon.
Doris I don't even know what brand he is installing but it has a warrantee and can be supported by local service. It's a split system with the heat pump outside and the condenser in the attic.
Hi All, :D
Here for a Thursday...the week is flying by again, as per usual. This morning the cable company came to bury the cable they put in on Tuesday, so that was quick. I am pleased with that.:up:
Perfect weather up here, bright and sunny with cool breezes mid 70s and some fluffy clouds.:clap:
I am contemplating whether to put my Fall wreath on the front door in exchange for the summer one. The Fall season is so short. Soon we will be decorating for the Christmas season.
DS has headed for Montreal today so he will be gone for about a week, in Quebec City and Gaspe too.
DD and DGD have gone down to Toronto for another horse show this weekend. DSIL has to stay behind to work to pay for it all. Hah!
I will hold the Fort with my little Senior mini doxie. He will be my TV companion for the next week.;)
Waving to All and hope to check back later...:heart:
Hey Susan, if it's cool enough and you feel "the snap in the air" then it's time to change the wreath...I remember in Indiana everyone had one of those stone geese and used to change the jacket on it to match the season in addition to having the wreath on the door. Nice tradition.
Went to the pulmonologist this afternoon and, sure enough, he's told me to get a chest x ray and see him in three weeks. He did change my med, tho', to an inhaler that's supposed to have less adverse reactions than the Spiriva...so we'll see. He also told me that the enalapril can cause the dry cough I've been having, so I'm stopping that too. Not long ago I had to stop it for a week and my bp didn't go up so I shouldn't have any problems with holding that for a while...I keep reminding myself, Doctors are always practicing.
Hope you had a good day, folks, and good things came your way.
Mary, I heard on the news today that all the high-end hotels are sold out for the November Formula One races that are coming to this part of Texas. The rooms were going for $1200-$1700 a night! Can you imagine! They said that sheiks have been known to rent out entire floors of hotels. That's crazy!! Was Nascar anything like this?
Nah! NASCAR is a bunch of "good ol' boys (and gals)" having fun and drinking beer...well, at high speed, and the seats in the stadiums sell out, tailgating is the thing and hotels and motels fill up with fans (most of the crews have their buses and vans they travel with). Formula one is more European and the oil guys have their runs in their country with lots of money to spend on it...always has been, always will be.
The end of USAC (United States Auto Racing, the sponsor of the Indy 500-type racing) racing as we knew it was when the Europeans invaded with Jack Brabham, Graham Hill, Jimmy Stewart et all...the cars went from good ol' US of A engines and bodies to the formula one type bodies and engines....if you detect a bit of anger there, you are right...that's when we changed to stock car racing and many of the drivers we supported did too...A.J. Foyt, Parnelli Jones, the Unser family...smoke to name just a few...we even pronounced the "x" in Gran Prix racing.

After a certain amount of feedback and related improvement, I'm happy
to announce version 0.7 of Wiimidi, a gateway for turning a Wiimote,
possibly with an attached accessory/controller, into a source of MIDI
New features in this version include:
- syntax in the configuration file to send Control Change messages;
- handle button release as well as button press;
- full support for the guitar controller: frets, touch-frets, strum bar,
buttons, whammy bar;
- full support for the "classic controller": buttons, sticks, and the
analog triggers (which are buttons on the "classic controller pro");
- completed support for the nunchuck (directional stick).
The code has also been vastly refactored, which should allow for easy
support of additional controllers if someone feels like implementing a
wah-wah pedal or a theremin with their wii balance board for instance.
Also, the documentation is now much more complete :-)
For more information, the documentation and the pointers to the actual
code, see the Wimidi page at:

Wedding: 9/17/2011
My fiance and I wanted our wedding in a hotel due to our number of out of town guests. The Marriott was the perfect location. Our wedding coordinator assisted us throughout the whole process and made sure all of our details were put into place. Correspondence was prompt throughout our year of planning. The actual day was perfect. Everything was set up as specified. The staff was accommodating. The banquet room was beautiful. The food was delicious and portions were large. It was a great location for a wedding - especially for an MSU grad.
Wedding: 6/29/2013
One of the main reasons my Husband and I chose the Marriott in East Lansing was because of their wedding planner, Diane Ferich. We could tell the minute we met her that she was going to be great and she did not disappoint! She responded to my numerous emails promptly and solved all of my "problems". I was amazed at all of the details she remembered. She was very organized. The week of the wedding we were able to bring all of our decorations for the reception and she had the event staff put them out exactly as we had planned. Instead of labeling the tables with numbers, I decided to "label" them with wedding photos of our family and friends. Setting up the tables could have been a little tricky, but even this abstract idea was perfectly executed. The food was tasty and the servers were friendly and attentive. The morning after the wedding we invited our guests that had stayed over to breakfast in the hotel bistro. It was very nice. We ended up with more guests at breakfast then we had originally planned, but the staff accommodated them all, setting up extra tables. They even ran to get my elderly father a chair with arms so that he was more comfortable. I highly recommend the Marriott at University Place. We had a wonderful wedding weekend!
Wedding: 6/29/2013
Working with the Marriott and Diane Ferich was an amazing experience. She was willing to work around our needs for the entire reception/hotel portion of the reception and everyone left the event with positive feedback. My friends and relatives gave rave reviews for the food and the bar/lobby set-up saying that it was one of the better receptions they had attended. Also the rooms were a great price and location for guests.
As for my husband and I we could not have had a better experience all the way around. The food was as good as it was at the tasting, and everything that was promised along the way was actually delivered. The staff was beyond friendly and was more than accomodating to everyone in the entire room.
If you need a place to have a reception this is the best place that you can go! I would reccomend it to everyone without any hesitation. Thank you for making it the best night of my life.
Wedding: 7/7/2012
Our wedding reception experience at the Marriott East Lansing was incredible. We were on a budget, and really did not expect anything above and beyond standard service and decent food. Diane, our event coordinator, was easy to contact and extremely helpful through the entire wedding planning process. We stayed at the hotel the night before the wedding to get some final items ready, and the entire staff knew who we were and I was shocked by how willing they were to help us out. On the day of the wedding, I was expecting to get several last minute questions or issues to come up from the staff, but none ever came - we walked into the reception (which started with a cocktail hour) and everything was in place and far exceeding our expectations. The only time that I was approached by the event staff was when they wanted to take care of something that we were not expecting them to take care of, again far exceeding our expectations. There were more servers that needed, so somebody was always around to help move something or run a quick errand. The servers that were attending tables never let a water glass get empty. The food was great, and the bar staff was quick and friendly. Three weeks after the wedding and I am still getting compliments on how successful the reception was, and all we did was provide the DJ and the table centerpieces.
In summary: For the budget that we had for 200 guests and the small amount of time we spent worrying about the reception, the event was outstanding - largely due to the service and staff. Thanks Diane!
