Mic Mate: The Mic Mate universal USB microphone interface is a tool that enables any dynamic or condenser microphone to be connected to a personal computer. The Mic Mate is a USB 2.0 high-speed device that is backward compatible with USB 1.1. The analog section of the Mic Mate features a 20Hz-20kHz frequency response, and a three-position, switchable attenuation pad with settings for high (0dB), medium (-5dB), and low (-10dB), making it easy to configure the attached microphone to virtually any sound source. The digital section features a 16-bit Delta Sigma A/D converter with a sampling rate of 44.1kHz and 48kHz. For use with condenser microphones, the Mic Mate supplies 48V phantom power.
RIAA Reporter: This royalty-reporting tool automates the new per-performance RIAA royalty reporting requirements that went into effect in 2008. As a result of the new royalty fee arrangement, streaming radio stations will no longer be allowed to report royalty fees by aggregate tuning hour, which was based on the total hours of programming that the stations transmitted during a month to all listeners. Instead, stations will be required to report on a per-performance basis - or the total number of people listening each time a performance is played. Royalty fees are paid by streaming radio stations to Sound Exchange. RIAA Reporter removes the burden for stations by generating a monthly and quarterly report in spreadsheet format that does all the calculations, showing what was played, how often, and the total number of listeners. Clients need only to logon to the Liquid Compass Client Control Center and select from pre-populated dropdown information such as call letters and date range. The program will automatically calculate the stations fee and provide it in a form acceptable to Sound Exchange.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and partnering agencies are conducting a statewide LiDAR data collection project. A 1 m shaded relief image from an early collection clearly displayed a recorded, prehistoric mound group on IDNR property, except for a set of three mounds overshadowed from a nearby hill. Prehistoric burial mounds are protected from disturbance through several federal and state laws. Unfortunately, the State Archaeologist and State Historic Preservation Offices do not have the resources to conduct mound surveys throughout the state for the sake of knowing what areas should be protected from future development. LiDAR introduces the possibility that large-area mound prospection is feasible.
There are challenges to image interpretation that can make such a task time-consuming with potentially mixed results. Conical mounds visible on shaded relief images are as small as 5 m diameter and 30 cm high. Interpretation over large areas can become tedious and may affect the quality and consistency of the interpretation over time. The interpreter's experience and ability to detect subtle changes in shading also impact interpretation quality. The early relief image demonstrated that more than one image with different settings will be necessary to interpret areas that are overshadowed.
A conical mound detection model was developed in the ArcGIS 9.2 ModelBuilder environment using Spatial Analyst tools. The model works as an interpretation aid by marking features that fit the metrics of the most common mound type. ArcGIS is the prevalent GIS software used by archaeologist in the state and the model, stored as a .tbx file, is easily distributable. The base of the model relies on three variables derived from the BE DEM - height, slope and aspect variety. An additional segment of the model is for clean-up and conversion from the raster data model to vector.
The model was tested in five areas representing three physiographic regions; it detected 90% of mounds that were interpretable from shaded relief images and have been recently field-verified, including other mound types. The model reduced the area to be checked to 0.15% - 0.4% of the area of interest. Natural and man-made features that triggered false positives were consistent; future work will be directed towards reducing the occurrences.
The model can expedite prospection of counties with high mound densities to the point where the time required for such a project would fit a modest budget. The results of the interpretation can be disseminated through an Internet Map Service (IMS) already established for professional archaeologists. County planners and local governments could get the results to the quarter section through an IMS currently in development, giving them warning that a potential prehistoric burial may be in a planned project area.

Here a list with an overview of the new thriller series of 2014 and the best 2013 thrillers that are coming out on American and British television and are being released on DVD/Blu-ray this year. Besides original new tv shows we shall discuss the returning seasons of popular thrillers from 2013 and 2012. The list is not exhaustive. We can expect some great new action thrillers and detective/crime psychological thriller tv shows for 2014.
The thriller genre is one that usually also falls under different genres. Here we have selected the upcoming tv shows that are most accurately called thrillers or thrillers series. The other ones can be read about in our other genre's lists of 2014.
Top 8 best thriller series of 2014 & 2013
Of course, on the number one spot should be HBO's True Detective, but that great detective show is already discussed in our HBO tv series of 2014 section.
The Red Road (2014) on the Sundance Channel
After the incredible success of drama series Rectify, Sundance has proven it is a channel to look out for in 2014. The Red Road has got everything going for it – it is for instance written by the director of Prisoners (2013), and is featuring Game of Thrones' Jason Momoa. It is about a small town in America where a local sheriff and a dangerous member of a tribe are forced to work together. It will be released on Sunday the 19th of January 2014 on the Sundance Channel. Not too familiar with the Sundance channel? – read this article on the upcoming Sundance thriller shows, and their great police series of 2013.
Fleming (2014)
You cannot discuss thrillers, and overlook James Bond. It is about the author of the famous 007 films. He himself was an intelligence officer working for MI6. The show is a collaboration between the makers of Peaky Blinders and Sherlock. It will be broadcasted on Sky Atlantic in 2014.
The Game (2014) on the British BBC one
It is difficult to top Sherlock, but BBC sure is trying. This year they are, amongst others, coming with The Game, a cerebral espionage show about the Cold War. It is set in the 70's and seems to be bringing a great feel the seventies. It is created by Real Humans' Toby Whithouse. It is being described a show with great mysteries and complex multi-layered characters.
Legends (2014) from the makers of Homeland
From the creators of the hit espionage tv show Homeland we can now expect a new one starring Sean Bean (Game of Thrones). Legends is about a CIA operative who goes undercover, but struggles with an identity crisis. It will be on FOX.
Peaky Blinders – British gangster series of 2013 & 2014 with Cillian Murphy
It is set in Birmingham, just after the First World War, and narrates the little known tale of a gang called the 'Peaky Blinders'. Cillian Murphy (Inception) plays the role of the brother in the family, and has to challenge the new local chief of police. This thiller series is created by Steven Knight who recently had great success with gangster drama films like 'Eastern Promises'. Peaky Blinders will return with a second season in 2014.
The Following – New thriller starring hollywood star Kevin Bacon | Release date: 21 January 2013
The first original new series on our list is actually also on our new horror series list. We are looking forward to it so much that we do not mind putting in on here too. The Following is a Fox series that will start shortly in January, and it is about a dangerously intelligent serial killer that communicates with other serial killers, and builds up his own cult with very loyal followers. The serial killer in question has escaped from prison, and the FBI Agent who caught him 9 years ago is put on the case. Of cours we are talking about Mr. Kevin Bacon here. Also the following is coming back with a 15-episodes season in 2014.
The Fall – New British psychological thriller produced by BBC
In this trailer with all the upcoming original BBC drama series you can catch a glimpse of this thriller series with Gillian Anderson ( The X-Files). No official release date has been set, but it is rumoured to air in the beginning of 2013 on BBC2. It is about a series of murders in Belfast, Northern Ireland, being investigated by a senior police officer Stella Gibson (Anderson. She is brought in from the Metropolitan Police Service, after the local police is unable to close the case after 28 days. The trailer also shows some other new BBC series of 2013 that we discuss on this website. Just check out the new series section.
Bates Motel – Upcoming American series of A&E – Horror series after Hitchcocks 'Psycho'
A tv show that is definitely generating a lot of attention. This horror or mystery thriller is about the Bates Family, in particular Norman Bates, whom we all know as the scary guy from Alfred Hitchcock's cult classic Psycho. You truly get to know the Psyche of Norman Bates. A rather ambitious project, and we are hoping it will be able to live up the to expectations. The series is scheduled to be released on 18 March 2013.
Read more about great upcoming thrillers
It does not stop here. A lot of our other series are playing with the thriller genre quite a bit. Series like the new Hannibal tv shows or HBO drama crime series of 2014 can be found. We have also explored the upcoming Scandinavian thrillers, like the Danish The Killing 3:
Returning seasons of popular thriller series released in 2013

Redheads! They're so different! So special, so rare! And the same recessive genes that give them their ginger locks also cause them to feel pain in a different way than the rest of us. A study done at Aalborg University in Denmark found that while redheads are better able to handle spicier foods, their bodies are less adept at handling a variety of other sensory experiences, such as extreme cold and dental pain. Annnnnnd gingers are also more inclined to have problems such as endometriosis and sclerosis.
But the good news?

AERA TAR-SIG Welcome
Welcome to AERA's web page for the Teacher-as-Researcher SIG!
It's our aim that the Teacher as Researcher SIG can be a place of sustained and positive learning in this time when high stakes testing has become the standard in classrooms across the country. This work is important because when teachers conduct research, we have the opportunity to grapple with dilemmas, try solutions, reflect on data, and generate understandings that have the potential to advance students' learning. Creating such places for inquiry is a vital step in improving the quality of our teaching and developing positive learning contexts for children.
Our SIG is seeking a record number of submissions, presentations, members and curious guests. Please encourage your colleagues and teacher friends to join our SIG, submit proposals, and attend our sessions at the Annual Meeting. The 2015 Annual Meeting is scheduled for Thursday, April 16th through Monday, April 20th in Chicago, Illinois.
Please take a look at the new photo gallery, here, on our website for some highlights from the 2014 Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, including a link to Cynthia Ballenger's paper from our Business Meeting.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you in Chicago.
Megan Blumenreich, EdD

Reviewed by Automobile Magazine on 12/27/2006
Unlike the lavishly equipped Honda and Toyota, the Altima Hybrid sacrifices standard equipment to keep its base price at about $22,000. Since Nissan borrowed its hybrid components from Toyota, the Altima can accelerate to nearly 40 mph using only electricity (key words: pedal finesse), just like the Camry Hybrid. Yet the 2.5-liter gasoline four outpowers the Camry's, and an estimated EPA city rating of 41 mpg is tops in this class.
The Altima's chassis is compliant on smooth, winding roads, but with an extra 306 pounds of hybrid equipment to carry, the suspension stumbles over rough pavement and sometimes floats on the freeway. After some initial harshness at low speeds, the engine and the electric motors work in harmony with the slick, silent, planetary-type CVT, culminating in a surge of impressive passing power.
The Altima continues to make ground on the Camry and the Accord, but with borrowed components and a limited distribution area, the Altima Hybrid isn't exactly a tour de force.

How did you discover World of Warcraft? {WoW}
Apr 15th 2011 1:40PM So I went to best buy to get a new game for the pc world of warcraft had been out for three months but honestly I hadn't even considered it, even though I was a big fan of everything blizz had done to date.
Standing in the pc game isle a man in a wheel chair rolled up to get a game book for wow and he asked me if I played, I replied, " no is it good?" and then this man who was completly paralized from the waist down preceded to tell me how world of warcraft changed his life and allowed him to be social and cope with his loss.
I figured, if a man that can't feel his legs or use his penis is telling me something changed his life I better damn well listen! needless to say 6 years and 511 /played later my wife and I are still playing and I hope that poor soul is too.
I mean how many developers can say, "we made a game so good that after you start playing you wont need your legs or a penis ever again!" I think we all know the answer to that!
So yea RIFT is neat, Age of conan has boobies, SWOTOR has Gorge lucas and Bioware, but I have sneaking suspicion that after a few months your really gonna start missing your penis. :P

Blizzard comments on Outland and Northrend leveling in Cataclysm {WoW}
Apr 1st 2011 1:44PM I really don't feel that these areas are broken but I have a suggestion on how to improve these areas.
1. Get rid of any non-epic quest chains off the main story.
2. Further adjust xp and achivments so that players can complete all the zones or at least half of them in the time it takes to get from 58-70 this is is important because players are missing out on netherstorm and/or shadowmoon valley two of the most epic zones in outland.
The changes need very little effort really, but right now players can get to wrath before they even finish zangermarshe so you have half a dozen completly empty useless zones. The change to xp that was made is actually what makes it so boring!
Blizzard doesn't need to rewrite the quests just assign one guy to getting rid of 75% of the lame non-essential quests and bam people will get to go to all of the zones before they hit wrath adding some consistency to the leveling experience.
Breakfast Topic: What's your favorite WoW encounter? {WoW}
Mar 13th 2011 3:28PM All of ulduar, Everything in ulduar was such an epic scale. I hated when we discovered we could just burn down flame leviathan before that being launched up to the top of FL was such an amazingly heroic experience.
Maybe I am just a throwback from old Mario days but I would love to see more platforming in wow.
When people learn to find ways to use their enviroment to their advantage in war players should be rewarded but instead blizz punishes us I belive this is a design flaw, If someone works out a way to sneak into a major city and kill someone from the rooftops this should't be met with instant roof gaurds.
I mean sure it makes sense to have roof gaurds but to have an instant kill buff put on you for being agile and ingenious just seems like a backwords idea not inline with the whole "Warcraft" thing.
Blizzard: No triple spec on the horizon, but it's not ruled out {WoW}
Mar 3rd 2011 10:02AM I am fury and prot right now and I need both of those for raids, I want a pvp spec badly.
I think it is pretty redicules to think that having specs like bank tabs would do anything but be fun.
Look at RIFT each class has 22 soul trees and you can swap them anytime you want (out of combat of course) It is one of the best aspects of the game and hurts nothing.
I just wish blizz could adapt better and controle less, they are the masters of having great ideas that they only go part way with.
Drama Mamas: The case of the underage scammer {WoW}
Feb 25th 2011 2:48PM Oh hi I am an 11 year old who is smart enough to doop 100s of people out of their gold and just log off, I know your a real person and I don't care I just want to steal from you.
Im not sure I know of a worse hell than putting up with a spoiled pre-teen sociopath whos parents didn't take the time to teach them positive reinforcment and consequences.
The real issue here remorsfull is that you wasted a lot of your time when you coulda just reported the brat, I can promise you that all you did was make that kid more vindictive he probably reported you for spam and got his little freinds to help.
One of the keys to being a good authority figure? DO NOT work harder than the child to teach them anything. Positive reinforcment is so successfull because the "childs" actions are creating a reaction than results in a desire to repeat that behavior.
Are you really so dense you think he did not know how to put you on ignore? That attention starved little rodent was eating up everything you said he probably screen shotted your rage so he could show his freinds and laugh at you later why?
Because pre-teens are inherently evil! Spoiled pre-teens are so vindictive its scary, they go out of their way to hurt people, they lie non stop, major theft, battery, and sex crimes of preteens is out pacing older juvenile crime 2-1!
So should you feel bad for hurting that kids feelings? Ha the fact that you think you did is laughable, the kid is probably at a "rainbow party" right now making fun of you.
Should you feel bad that you acted like a little kid yourself and wasted a ton of time over a set of worthless virtual glasses that are even worthless in their virtual world of worthlessness? Yes, and yes you should be very much ashamed.
Raid Rx: No healing assignments?! {WoW}
Feb 12th 2011 1:22PM The reason you don't need healing assignments is because the majority of healing mods if setup correctly will show the user all incomming heals to that target before they land. Also Vuhdo actually shows the strength of shields on a target. All of the mods show hot timers as well but I prefer to allow the incomming heal visual for this as well.
Grid, Vuhdo, Healbot, Pearl all have this feature (though vuhdo has the fastest communication time currently, differences are in fractions of ms between them however)
In current content tanks are at risk for being destroyed at almost any moment and this is added to an amazing amount of constant raid damage and a super weak mana pool.
Thus the only solution is to have all healers prioritize tanks, other healers, and then dps as mana allows. (thank god for lightwell and its 30 yard click range!)
I know there are healers who are purists who refuse to use mods, the reality of this situation is you have less battle intel and your heals take an extra 50ms+ to get through than an equal player using one do to blizzards lazy UI and raid frames design.
There is a fine line between being a purist and just being stubborn, ignorant, or behind the times to give some the benefit of the doubt. Healing assignments were born out of 40 mans when each healer would be assigned a group and then in 25 mans when they became roll based and now they are done away all together as healer mana pools and software technology has allowed for a new adaptive and visceral design.
In closing I just want to steer people toward Vuhdo and its amazing design and HD guides to setup, the designer of Vuhdo created it for his wife and put his heart and soul into it to help take the woman he loves to the next level and give her a streamlined and accurate display that would give her purist heart the function she truly desired.
As an added bonus you purists can bind your F-keys to something actually usefull now!

Guy News Special: BBC Three's Greatest Hits

Public service broadcasting at its finest…
Doing this saves the license payer from having to find more money to fund the £400k compromise agreements of the janitors and cleaners we are having to let go.
Sell the channel and let it sell advertising or put it on a pay per view channel of some kind.
In fact, lets abolish the licence fee and do that to all the BBC TV channels.
Young people need to rise up, vote Labour and we'll deliver them all of the entertainment they need, to ensure they don't have to think again.
Labour – we'll look after you and make sure everything you say and do is just right.
Good riddance to shit, and should be axed from online too, stop pissing money up a wall on crap.
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need (French: De chacun selon ses moyens, à chacun selon ses besoins.; German: Jeder nach seinen Fähigkeiten, jedem nach seinen Bedürfnissen!) is a slogan first used by Louis Blanc in 1851 and popularised by Karl Marx in his 1875 Critique of the Gotha Program"
Is tapping away on twitter the best you can do Owen Jones?
Might as well cull the thousands of journalists, took them ages to discover #PIEgate.
"Matt Lucas said the move would be "really bad for new comedy".
pay for it yourself then fatty, i think you are shit
Goddammit, that's a ton of royalties I'm gonna lose now.
Agreed , and why keep the online version ??
Totally axe the retarded chav cretinous drivel that is bbc three.
and what of bbc four ? at keast it us not retarded but its boring schedules do induce migadon – like deep sleep.
Get all the excellent scandinavian /continental crine shows transferred to bbc one or two
….. then abolish bbc 4 also .
niw … what about cbeebies ….and radio one extra not to nention radio four long wave …..
What were they thinking?
Ah, they weren't thinking at all. Unless driven by some grotesque urge to engage with popular taste, as viewed from a wine bar in one of the better parts of Acton.
when I think of 'bbc comedy' I think of jonathonross and that bearded fool who thinks he's a revolutionary – sorry I forget his name – but any of them are hardly funny so I suspect this channel is not going to be much missed.
Ah a true leader
'It is something of a turnaround for Lord Hall, who said in October: "I wouldn't consider closing a channel".
Just banishing it to obscurity instead. Better than it deserves though
Well, obviously, telling people how to avoid spreading STDs or suffering infertility isn't the job of a public service broadcaster. More game shows, please!
….although St Luke got there first, in Acts 4:32-35.
I get it ALL online now anyway….what am I talking about I can't recall watching BB3 – ever. It's for kids and sub human teenies isn't it?
In the (temporary) absence of the excellent 'Drop a DC on the BBC', I offer help in any way I can.
You talk like you think the license fee will go down as a result
You'll just be paying the same amount for less choice
Grow a pair and stop paying the telly tax.
I haven't paid it for 9 years.
I still get the odd letter addressed to "The Legal Occupier", but as i know of no such person i burn them in the fireplace :-)
I say Old Chap!!! – one holds that the BliarBrown Bullshit Channel is dashed good value!
Only if you're a spineless cretin who still pays it.
That's the longest 66 seconds I've ever lived through.
Vote UKIP.
At the BBC there is no chance of being the only gay in the village.
No, I talk like some pretentious champagne socialist comedian who now he has made his money doesn't care a jot for anyone else.

So Labour are going down the same eco-loony tax bombshell route the Lib Dems are:
Vote Lib/Lab for higher petrol prices
Vote Lib/Lab for higher electricity and gas bills
Vote Lib/Lab for higher council tax
Vote Lib/Lab for higher income tax
Bye bye Lib/Lab :-)
the actual technical costs must have gone down tremendously in the last decade or so what with the communications and excellent software available so presumably they can do a lot more now for the same money ?
For sale
House of Commons security pass. 2014
Hardly used.
I just cannot understand why people begrudge paying the TV licence fee. The amount of content the BBC puts out, from TV to radio to online, news, documentaries, entertainment, music, the list is endless. And all advert-free. The latter is worth £12 a month on its own. Contrast this with the mind-numbing tripe that ITV puts out. Cowell-shite, Jungle-shite, Keith Lemon shite, Scam competitions all fucking day long etc etc. The BBC shelters us from this garbage.
The £12 a month is phenomenal value for money. It could not be done unless everyone subscribed. If the way it is financed could be construed as 'socialist' then it just goes to show what can be done when the state, instead of private enterprise, works for the common good rather than profit.
We can learn a lot from the way the BBC is constituted. Long may it continue.
So the BBC is now the exact opposite of modern technology.
All modern technology maintains a steady price year on year with subsequent iterations offerings better/faster/shinier etc
What do the BBC do? – Payoff a load of execs with vast quantities of dosh, spend thousands avoiding CAGW FOI requests, Employ an underworked Fatty Pang, and remove a channel that no-one but cheroot smoking, yurt living, Guardian readers have ever heard of.
What do you have against boobs, Guido? Are you part of the Anti-Sex League?
Yeah, right. Drop into Specsavers on your way to the Jobcentre tomorrow. They'll adjust those rose-tinted specs for you.
Family Guy a 'FOX' (arghhh) cartoon was the only goodthing about it
Modern quasi socialist Britain for you:
No morals
No ethics
No education
No shame
No integrity
No backbone
….and the promotion of idiots, losers and sufferers of NPD
What a mess!
I blame Maggie for closing down all the mental institutions in the 80s. The ex inmates have taken over. So much for care in the community.
Anyway, that's what BBC3 represents so good riddance.
Do I get a reduction in the licence fee?
If I'd known there were tits on that channel I might have watched it.
One down 7 to go.
BBC News
Don't get too excited rumour is they are starting a Gay channel!
Nah, only joking.
He's beyond Specsavers help, he should apply for a guide dog :-)
Nah, it's just a webcam in the bogs at broadcasting house.
You are preaching to the converted mate.
BBC 3 uses the Cbeebies channel, which switches off at 7pm when the toddlers go to bed.
So CBeebies not transmitting must still attract more viewers then BBc 3 on air.
No real surprise.
Terrible. How did the BBC make comedy before BBC3 was invented?
You forgot the 400,000 local stations pal.
Quite right Ed.
You should be calling on the government to axe the telly tax to ease the cotht of wiving cwithith on the poor and squeezed middle :-)
Then the BBC will die.
Great idea, but thatcher failed to sell it off ?
I'll have it off you. But can I buy it after I've lost my deposit next year?
Can you please explain that a little more clearly – I don't quite understand what you are saying and I want to.
BBC 3 is a channel for students, teenagers, drop outs, the stoned , the drunk, the easily amused or trendy teachers who went to try and appear down with the kids.
BBC 4 is the one that no-one but cheroot smoking, yurt living, Guardian readers have ever heard of.
Not gay, mozzie… Al Hijrah offshoot.
Miliband should be calling on the government to axe the telly tax to ease the cotht of wiving cwithith on the poor and squeezed middle :-)
Cue angry socialist Jon Snow in rainbow colour stockings with matching headscarf-tie and £3500 Savile Row suite standing in a dried up water hole with his decrepit old face all wrinkled up sneering and spluttering that the Tories have caused hose pipe ban's with their cuts.
You should watch the Revolution will be televised, there are plenty of tits on there
Not surprising considering they failed to find the first one.
I can't see how putting it online only will save much: most of a channel's costs are incurred in commissioning and creating content.
Still, if these Slebs are so concerned about it, they can take a fucking pay cut to save it.
I'm fat and I like making jokes about being fat and proud! And i'm really funny!
I think he is warning of the dangers of broadcast subliminal messages, tuned to the infant's brain waves, sent over the static when the broadcast ends, when junior is asleep.
A management buyout perhaps, or how about the jokers on it buy it and pay for it with pay per view? No? thought not!
That's 'right', we didn't 'find' the first one *
' are used in the same sense that Tony Bliar suggested – A 'hutton' style inquiry
Of course. Two dry sherries and verbosity takes over. I should have never have used the word quasi – don't know what I was thinking about.
Anyway, the blue marxist Cameron supports all this left wing/PC cr*p and I hate him. He's spineless.

BBC 3 and BBC 4 use the Cbeebies and Cbbc digital channel when those kids channels go off air at 7pm.
I wish the BBC would close down RADIO 3 as well. The endless broadcasting of Ravel (( who gets his own special day this Friday) and Debussy; the ghastly presenters ( epecially the females, i'm afraid) ; the persistent chat and trailers have rendered the station all too avoidable.

BBC TV channel budgets 2013/14
BBC One: £1,051m
BBC Two: £415m
BBC Three: £85m
BBC Four: £49m
CBBC: £79m
CBeebies: £29m
BBC News Channel: £53m
BBC Parliament: £2m
The channel's service budget was £85m in 2013/14 – although moving the channel online would not eradicate those costs entirely.
Since its launch in 2003, BBC Three has been the birthplace of numerous ratings successes, including Little Britain, Torchwood, Being Human and Gavin and Stacey.
Any of those shows could and eventually did, fit comfortably on BBC2 or BBC1.
Ha ha ha! Utter shite anayway.Channel 4 will s-punk in celebration.
So I have to watch My Big Fat Teenage Ingrown Toenail on C(rap)4? and endlessly repeated on B(og)4. Super!
Indeed. Jesus invented socialism.
Bluestone 42 is quite good, which should find a home on the BBC1 Mrs Brown's Boys slot. Other than that though, you're right.
Won't there be a gap now? Will BBC2 and BBC4 fall into it?
Didn't the BBC do this with Radio 6? Pretend to axe it, wait for the twitter campaign, reprieve it, and get loads of free publicity?
Little Britain was "born" on Radio 4, and it was shit there. Watched it a couple of times on BBC3 and found it to be even more shit than the Radio 4 version. In fact there was a perfect phrase to describe "Little Britain" – "Witness the Shitness!"
There is a channel shown on overseas cable and satellite called "BBC Prime" that is almost non-stop BBC classics, Thin Blue Line, Steptoe, Fawlty Towers, various Rommie Barkers, Abfab and so on. Send a day watching that stuff and reaslise what ABSOLUTE SHITE is now produced.
It does not take much of brain cell to work out that with an all-digital service that "experimental" or niche programming could move to "pay-for-view" together with some sporting events (to promote revenue). The problem is that Pay-per-view or subscription would not allow the BBC to promote crud that no one else wanted except the poufs and bolsheviks who are rimming the mates that they want to promote.
It seems today
That all you see
is programs that are purchased from US TV
but where are all those old fashion channels
on which we used to rely?
BBC Parliament is the only one I watch regularly these days.
American Dad and Family Guy the only things worth watching on BBC3. Perhaps they could go back to BBC2 where they were first shown.
Yeah and I got so fed up with being smothered I jacked you in.
If you want silly cows of all ages to get their titties out? Pretend you are gay. Gullible!
Never mind "second" whatever became of the Third Programme? Required listening when I was a bt younger. as it scrapped as being too upmarket? Or have I missed something, having neither a radio nor a TV?
Everyone knows the license fee is to cover the privilege of owning a TV, just so happens those monies are given to the corporation…
It's Westminster's fault!!!
as a channel it makes sense and as long its accessible online not a problem
Tried to copy classical fm. Made the usual fuck-up when a socialist construct mimics a successful free-enterprise operation.
don't forget you're getting the best of 50 years of trying. In every cubic yard of dross you'll find a gold nugget – the HoC excepted.
How long does it take to say. "keep your cock in your trousers or an aspirin between your knees"?
Yeah, pretend to axe 6Music, 1xtra and top-notch U.S. dramas, supposedly to show they understood concerns about waste of tax-payers' money and the scope of the BBC's reach, but choosing remedies that, strangely, happened to fall within the remit of 'public-service broadcasting'. Cue lots of wailing and a reprieve for all three and, surprise, surprise, no cut in spending or output. Another campaign seen off.
Anyway, if it is to be only broadcast online, BBC 3 still has to be produced, so tax-payers' cash is still to be squandered. The only savings are the Freeview, Sky, etc., broadcast costs. Piffling.
And all of this, of course, comes from Mr. Patten's place-man – a man to bring forth a new era of responsible broadcasting and a return to the public service ethos.
Scrap the telly tax!
BBC 3 is shite – Bring back Underwater Bicycle Polo I say.
Just in case anyone was fooled into thinking that is as low as the BBC has sunk.
Yes from cradle to grave with endless poverty in between.
For me, it is pictures of boys an girls. But no one within the Tory Party admitted to knowing my problem.
Are you talking about the US backed tits and their failed Color Revolt? Check out YouTube: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.
Not forgetting the £83 million that we pay for the Welsh language channel S4C. Many of their programmes achieve ZERO viewers yet the spending goes on. Can you spare a couple of bob for our Health Service please? Heart patients are dying for the want of treatment but at least all of the hospital signs are in Welsh. Blethyn garw ar y bymtheg, innit?
The Romans knew how to cure socialism.
Nail some sense into 'em.
One channel down
still many to go
BBC is full of arse-bandits, marxists and p#dos
The BBC needs £100,000 of tax-payer money per year, just to fund their pension gap.
R3 was caught between the rock of being called elitist by the bbc marxists, and the hard place of, as you say, trying to mimic the free market.
With only the annual Thatcher-Dead fest to look forward to.
No, I owned it!
No room on BBC 2 now, it's wall-to-wall repeats of Dad's Army, Mock the Week and docu-dramas about Afro-Lesbians and FGM awareness programmes.
Not to mention Radios 1..n where n is far too many.
Watch Newsnight – nothing but tits all year round.
How does one receive the BBC you describe? You are not the only one to say this.
However, when I turn on my TV and select BBC, it is full of soaps, game shows, trashy celeb vehicles and football.
I barely ever watch broadcast TV. I can honestly say that if I divide the cost of a TV license by the total duration of BBC programming I can actually bear to watch – maybe something like 'Secret history of our streets' – over the typical TV year, I would be paying about a tenner and hour. Not good value for money, is it?
Thank god I don't have a TV license. It's a shame because there is simply brilliant television being made. Boardwalk Empire, Breaking Bad, True Detective, Mad Men – why can't the BBC make something this good, given its massive unconditional resources? I am damned if I will pay the BBC to watch these on a television I own, in a house I own.
Padding out the schedule with BBC3/4 crap, and endless repeats of said crap, doesn't change a thing. "Mrs Brown's Boys" has a prime time slot on BBC1. I rest my case.
You should only supposedly 'need' a TV license if you watch BBC programmes. Not paying for one should be a civil, not criminal offense.
Put the fuckers on a subscription model, and just watch their little Metropolitan Liberal bullshit blow up in their faces.
Not to mention smug leftie 'comedians'. BBC 3 is full of self indulgent crap, just the sort of thing you would expect of anything approved by Tessa Jowell, as she was telling us on Newsnight last night.
BBC3 to be scrapped? Good thing too, but where will the hordes of desperately un-talented would-be celebrities practice their witty-less efforts at humour, and their ongoing demolition of the English language, like totally, you know what I mean, innit? On BBC 2 or BBC4? My only worry as one tottering onwards without an I-player, is where will we view the American series, Family Guy?

Boris on British Jihadis. Apparently based on MI5 intel:
"If you look at all the psychological profiling about bombers, they typically will look at porn. They are literally w***ers. Severe onanists. They are tortured. They will be very badly adjusted in their relations with women, and that is a symptom of their feeling of being failures and that the world is against them. They are not making it with girls, and so they turn to other forms of spiritual comfort — which of course is no comfort."

WARWICK — Arnold's Neck is a small peninsula in Apponaug, home to a former summer community that has evolved into a quiet family neighborhood.
The south-central Warwick neighborhood is bordered by Apponaug Cove, Mary's Creek and Greenwich Bay, and an Amtrak line runs near the western border of the community.
With the exception of several marine-related businesses and a popular local restaurant, The Crow's Nest, the neighborhood is leafy and residential, with narrow, hilly roads offering plenty of water views. Mary's Creek is a protected quahog resource preserve.
Arnold's Neck Drive is the main street in the neighborhood, extending from Post Road, south of Apponaug Center, south to the Apponaug Harbor Marina. Shattock, Paul, Midgley and Staples avenues are other major streets. The housing is a mix of small older cottages, some on lots as small as 5,000 square feet, and larger houses built more recently.
The Arnold's Neck peninsula was platted in 1909, though, according to the Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission, the history of Apponaug dates to about a century before the Industrial Revolution.
"A fulling mill for finishing homemade woolen fabric had been established here in 1696 … and in 1796 a gristmill had been erected on the brook below the fulling mill," the commission's Warwick survey report explained.
"About 1908, the Manchester Manufacturing Company, with Caleb Greene as agent, was formed to produce cotton textiles" in Apponaug. In about 1815, a new mill was built to replace the old fulling mill, and that building was replaced in the 1850s, "when the Oriental Print Works opened on the site."
Apponaug's prosperity led to the construction of many Federal-style homes in the village, but although many were destroyed, "a small cluster of Colonial and Federal residences remains at the intersection of Post Road and Arnold's Neck Drive," the report added.
Current real estate listings in the neighborhood include an unusual property at 253 Arnold's Neck Drive. Priced at $674,000, the property includes three buildings, including two houses, and four lots, zoned for commercial use, according to the listing information.
Other houses for sale in the neighborhood range in price from $109,000, for a one-bedroom cottage at 160 Arnold's Neck Drive, up to $399,000 for a three-bedroom house at 25 Shattock Ave.
POPULATION: (Warwick, 2010) 82,672
MEDIAN HOUSE PRICE: (Warwick, 2012) $148,000

A point in Montreal is worth it.
Now, we know it's really irrational to be so pissed beyond all belief at a loss in a shootout, but Montreal did their best to prove, yet again, that they are whiny pieces of shit. And we will never think that they deserve to win any of the games, ever. Not even ones against Detroit. Remember that time they beat the fucking Caps? We didn't even really think they deserved that.
It seems like every Habs game in MTL of the last few seasons though has a distinct arc though, which we would like to examine in outline form.
I. Habs act like they're all hard.
No one will score for awhile, but there will be much gnashing of teeth by someone who should know better but doesn't. Like Subban trying to jaw at Malkin because, god forbid, Malkin tried to check him. Get real.
A. Habs will feed off the crowd and look like they deserve it for a minute.
Habs will score some goal or have a big shift, and act like it's the best day ever. The fans will get really into it and start terrifying everyone. A car fire will erupt in the suburbs unexpectedly.
B. Opposing team will work hard, but feel like they are being choked by stupidity. They will get bailed out by like 2 of their best players to keep things at bay.
II. Talent will reign. Someone will play hockey well (like Malkin or Joey V) and things will seem more even and calmed down for awhile. But, it is well-known that this is a temporary illusion.
A. We will proceed into a vast and godless ocean.
B. The outcome will make no sense and probably involve someone killing someone else.
Like Letang flying across the ice to deal with Subban attacking Gene for no good reason. Malkin had just apparently drawn an interference penalty on Darche? And then Subban was like gjskdlfjlskd. And then Letang was like GET THE JESUSFUCK OFF OF MY RUSSIAN. You can't make this up, folks. Yet this photo doesn't really do it justice.
This one is a bit closer.
Letang, in other words, gave zero fucks.
Shootout is ridic, it was won by Plekanec if that gives you a sense for how insane it was.
Malkin's goal will be talked about for at least ten more minutes, because it shows how much he really thinks of Carey Price to put that kind of move on him.
Fleury was reportedly "furious" after the loss. I mean he definitely didn't deserve to get scored on by Plekanec.
Everyone is upset that Jason Williams had the game on his stick. We were, too.
But, sometimes the ultimate result of this formulaic existence in Bell Centre is death.
Whatever, we have the Jets on Saturday at home, that should be strange as all hell again.
Jets? Really? Oh Canada.

[1587] Clonality and TP53 Mutation Analysis of Focal Nodular Hyperplasia of the Liver
KB Hodges, S Zheng, OW Cummings, R Saxena, S Zhang, M Wang, L Cheng. Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN; North China Coal Medical College, Tangshan, China
Background: Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is considered a benign tumor of the liver. The pathogenesis and biologic nature of FNH is not clear. It has been proposed that FNH might be a benign reactive lesion related to hyperperfusion of blood caused by local arterial malformation. However, the clonality status of FNH is not well established. We sought to determine the clonality and TP53 mutation status of FNH to better characterize the nature of FNH in these patients.
Design: We analyzed 15 cases of FNH from female patients who underwent surgical resection of their lesions. All cases of FNH were diagnosed according to published criteria; all cases showed classic FNH features. Laser-capture microdissection of tumor and normal tissue from each patient was performed on sections with a PixCell II Laser Capture Microdissection system. Cell clusters were microdissected from multiple separate locations within a nodule of FNH to avoid the artifact of a monoclonal patch. Approximately 600-1000 cells of each FNH were microdissected from 5 micron histological sections. Normal tissue microdissected from the same patient was used as a control. The dissected tissue was incubated overnight in digestion buffer and proteinase K at 37°C. Genomic DNA was extracted and analyzed for X-chromosome inactivation status and TP53 mutations in exons 5, 7 and 8 by direct DNA sequencing. Correlations between clonality and different clinical variables were analyzed using chi-square test. A p-value of 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The patients' age ranged from 16 to 54 (mean, 36 years). The sizes of the lesions ranged from 2 to 11.7 cm (mean, 5.1 cm). None had history of hepatitis viral infection or cirrhosis. Thirteen out of 15 cases (87%) were informative in our X-chromosome inactivation analyses. A nonrandom X-chromosome inactivation pattern was observed in 4 of the 13 (31%) informative cases. A random pattern of X-chromosome inactivation was observed in 9 of 13 (69%) informative cases. The clonality status was not associated with any of the clinical-pathological parameters including age and nodule size. No TP53 mutations were detected in any of the cases.
Conclusions: Our data indicate that a significant proportion of FNH have a monoclonal origin, suggesting that these lesions are neoplastic in nature rather than reactive. The lack of mutation in the TP53 gene supports the notion that FNH is a benign entity.

The dream deferred: Increasing the college preparedness of at-risk students
Short Description:
Examined the impact of multi-dimensional, cross-sector interventions designed to increase the chances of college enrollment, persistence, and graduation for low-income students.
The Dream Deferred research project examined the impact of multi-dimensional, cross-sector interventions designed to increase the chances of college enrollment, persistence, and graduation for low-income students. Findings from the study suggest that comprehensive and coordinated intervention programs may be more effective than traditional approaches to improving college awareness, math, and reading skills in low-income students.

About Scholars Week | Schedule of Events | Speakers | Participating Programs | Registration | email | Home | |
IntroductionWestern is known and valued for its excellence. The experience of our students - "the Western experience" -- is distinguished by the quality of the learning that our graduates are able to demonstrate - on the job, in graduate schools, as engaged members of their communities. The quality of the Western experience is directly traced to the caliber of the professionals - faculty and staff - who are deeply invested in engaging our students in research and creative activity. The many hours dedicated to mentoring and learning are much in evidence during this week. Scholars Week is an exemplary event, part of our effort to continually support, expand, and ever more effectively highlight our research, scholarly, and other creative excellence. The work the participating students do alongside faculty mentors provides them a deeper understanding of their disciplines. And this collaboration often provides the step that elevates "A" work to extraordinary results. The presentations during the week illustrate a key component of our overall strategy for moving ahead as a university and for encouraging the brightest futures for our students. The faculty and students who distinguish themselves through these endeavors bring credit to the entire university. Bruce Shepard, President |

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving
Page Navigation
In "Heeding the Call," a Tapestry of Faith program
Gather youth in a circle. Welcome first-time participants. Ask youth to go around the circle and say their names. Ask if anyone would like to share anything from their Justicemakers Guide since the last meeting. Light the chalice, or invite a participant to do so, and recruit a volunteer to read the chalice lighting words:
As we light this chalice, we take a moment to reflect on the people who have walked the path of justice before us, beside us, and we hope will join us on this path of deep caring.
Ask the group to be silent for a moment as they reflect on the words. End the silence with "So be it," or other appropriate words.
Tell the group that today's theme is our Unitarian Universalist heritage. Ask for volunteers to share what they think our faith heritage has to do with justice.
For more information contact web @ uua.org.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.

A conkerer plays the British game of conkers. A brief description may be desirable for those unfamiliar with it. Conkers has two players, each armed with a nut of the horse chestnut threaded on a string. Players take turns hitting their opponent's nut with their own. The player whose nut breaks first loses.
Conker is a dialect word that originally meant a snail shell, with which the game was first played, though without the strings (it would be classed as animal cruelty these days, as the shells were frequently still occupied). Frederick Ross described it in A Glossary of Words Used in Holderness in the East-Riding of Yorkshire of 1877: "In the boy's game of conkers the apexes of two shells are pressed together until one is broken, the owner of the other being the victor."
Strangely, for a game often considered to be an immemorial part of the English annual round of boy's games, the snail sense is first recorded only from the early nineteenth century, and the horse chestnuts one from the 1880s.
The word might be from conch, but could equally well be a respelling of conqueror, since the game was often spoken of and spelled that way in the nineteenth century.

Casey Anthony was forced to come out of hiding Monday.
The woman acquitted of killing her 2-year-old daughter was summoned to bankruptcy court to explain why she's broke.
Her attorney helped keep her face covered as both ran a gauntlet of media into the courtroom.
Anthony filed for chapter seven bankruptcy in late January, claiming that since her acquittal on charges she murdered her 2-year-old daughter Caylee she hasn't had a job and only has a thousand dollars in assets, but nearly $800,000 in debts.
In court Anthony said says she doesn't pay rent or utilities and is living off the kindness of others.
Her debts were detailed:
- $500,000 for attorney fees and costs to defend her during trial
- More than $145,000 owed to the Orange County Sheriff's Office for investigative fees and costs
- More than $68,000 for the IRS for taxes, interest and penalties
In addition to being unemployed, she says she has not received any offers for a book, movie or TV deal.

Over the past few weeks, we've been happy to bring you excerpts from "Delivering Knock Your Socks Off Service," a customer service classic that recently celebrated its 20th anniversary with the publication of a brand new updated edition. We'd like to thank our friends at AMACOM Books for allowing us to bring them to you.
In case you missed any of them, here are the five installments in one convenient place, for your bookmarking, sharing, tweeting and liking pleasure:
What is 'knock your socks off customer service'?
Research finds that it costs five times more to attract a new customer than it does to keep one you already have.
Re-assuring the assurance factor: Why smiles and happy faces aren't enough
When providing customer service, courtesy is not a substitute for competence and skill.
Good selling is good service; Good service is good selling
Sales and service are not separate functions. They are two sides of the same coin.
Why timeliness and responsiveness are crucial for retail
The best time for anything is the time that is best for the customer.
For retail, honesty is the only policy
Misleading customers leads to far worse problems than telling them something unpleasant they need to hear right now.

In his Nov. 26 column ("Long-delayed, heartfelt words for all who served"), Mark Patinkin got it right when he talked about honoring veterans for their service.
In the church that I attend, on the Sunday closest to Veterans Day, veterans of all wars and conflicts are asked to stand, from oldest conflict to most recent. There are fewer now who served in World War II, and it is harder for them to remain standing for the entire recognition. If you ask them, they don't feel they need to be honored. "I only did what was right" or "We all did it together" would be their response for why they served.
It wasn't until Vietnam that we started to question whether it was right to serve. Some men left the country and other protested against it. As a Vietnam-era veteran, I was conflicted when drafted in 1967. My eight weeks in basic training was probably the most uncomfortable period of my life, but the Army was training me for combat and to stay alive as a soldier.
Servicemen and women mostly take pride in their military service regardless of when and where they served, and how they were received upon returning home.
Let us hope that peaceful (diplomatic, economic, etc.) solutions can be reached to negate the need to honor veterans of future conflicts.

Square Enix's long-in-development companion piece Final Fantasy Versus XIII has been cancelled, according to a Kotaku source, but don't throw your laundry out the window just yet - materials from the game may have been transferred over to Final Fantasy XV.
The publisher has apparently "decided to let Final Fantasy Versus XIII die quietly on the vine and fade away, instead of officially announcing its cancellation. This would likely be due to the fact a public acknowledgement of a Versus' cancellation could impact things like Square Enix's stock prices."
Another source insists the game's "development and resources" have been "folded into" the next numbered Final Fantasy, though what exactly this amounts to is unclear.
Kotaku got in touch with Square Enix for comment on whether the game was still in production. The response: "we have no information on the status of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, but will be sure to update you as it becomes available."
It's Final Fantasy's 25th anniversary soon - there's a three-day celebration at the start of September. Andriasang reports that we can expect Final Fantasy XIII announcements, perhaps including the reveal of another direct sequel, Final Fantasy XIII-3.

'Fast and Furious' Franchise May Have Found Another Bald Headed Ass-Kicker Capable of Driving a Stick
Casting Couch By Rob Hunter on October 4, 2011 | 1 CommentWe don't often report on casting rumors so far in advance of production, but seeing as the very fun Fast Five hit DVD and Blu-ray today it seem fitting that we pass along this item about its inevitable follow-up. Well, two items actually.
According to the fine folks at Twitch, Universal is hoping to move forward next year on filming two back-to-back installments of the Fast & Furious series to take place throughout Europe. It only makes sense as Fast Five was both the highest grossing and most entertaining of the bunch. The plan is for Justin Lin to return for part six and for Peter Jackson to take over directing duties on part seven. That's not strictly true, but Jackson seems pretty comfortable being attached to one half of simultaneously filmed epics so I figured I'd suggest it now. It won't happen, but how curious are you now to see a Jackson directed muscle car movie?
The second piece of info uncovered by Twitch is that the franchise producers are hoping to lure Jason Statham into their fold for one or both of the films. Adding him to the mix seems like a no-brainer especially as the series heads to Europe. Statham is British after all, but more relevant to the matter at hand is his status as a follicle-challenged ass kicker who knows his way around a car. Can you even imagine the sweat and testosterone overload sure to occur when Statham, Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson go head to head to head?
