By David Morgan
WASHINGTON, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Republicans in Congresschastised President Barack Obama's top health adviser onThursday for declining to testify before an oversight panelabout problems in rolling out the president's signaturehealthcare program known as Obamacare.
Less than a day after Congress ended a 16-day partialgovernment shutdown precipitated by Republican demands to delayor defund Obamacare, they sent a letter to Health and HumanServices Secretary Kathleen Sebelius demanding she makeofficials available for the Oct. 24 hearing.
The online insurance exchanges that are a central part ofObamacare rolled out on Oct. 1 despite the shutdown but havebeen hobbled by technical difficulties that Sebelius has saidare being fixed.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing is titled: "Implementation Failures: Didn't Know or Didn't Disclose?"
The letter from majority members of the committee said theyinvited Sebelius on Oct. 11 to appear at the hearing, only tolearn on Wednesday that she would not attend. The administrationhas not agreed to provide other administration officials, theletter added.
"It's well past time for the administration to be straightand transparent with the American people," said a separatestatement by Republican Representative Fred Upton, who chairsthe panel.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) spokeswomanJoanne Peters said: "We are in close communication with thecommittee and have expressed our desire to be responsive totheir request."
A spokeswoman for the panel's Republican majority did notrespond to a Reuters inquiry about whether subpoenas would beissued by the committee.
Upton said top administration officials had previously saidthat everything was on track, but the broad technologicalfailures revealed that was not the case. "Either theadministration was not ready for launch, or it was not up to thejob," he said.
Obama's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act isexpected to provide private health coverage to an estimated 7million uninsured Americans through the new online marketplacesthat opened for enrollment in all 50 states on Oct. 1.
But the website Healthcare.gov, the administration's onlineportal for consumers in 36 states, was hobbled by technicalissues - including error messages, garbled text and delaysloading pages - that administration officials partly blame on anunexpectedly high volume of 14.6 million visitors in its first10 days.
Sebelius recently appeared on the cable-television comedyprogram, "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" for an interview thatfocused on the website's problems.
But HHS and the White House have largely declined todisclose information about the problems plaguing the federalmarketplace's information technology system, which cost nearly$400 million to build, according to a report by the watchdogGovernment Accountability Office.
"This is wholly unacceptable. Secretary Sebelius had timefor Jon Stewart, and we expect her to have time for Congress,"Upton said.
Upton's panel is one of at least three House committeesexpected to hold hearings as part of a new Republican plan toattack the healthcare reform's weaknesses, beginning with theproblem-plagued technology behind its launch.
The oversight is expected to span the cost of new insuranceplans under the healthcare law, online security, fraud, the roleof the Internal Revenue Service and the fate of consumers whoare unable to enroll in coverage in the coming weeks, accordingto congressional aides.
"It's not just a bumpy rollout. We're crossing a bridge witha warning sign that says: BRIDGE OUT," said RepublicanRepresentative Tim Murphy, who chairs the House Energy andCommerce panel's health subcommittee and plans to hold his ownhearings.
"We'll be trying to get people from the administration totell us whether they were pretending everything was OK or wasthere an internal cover-up or did they just not know?" he added.
Oversight is also not the only strategy Republicans areplanning.
House Speaker John Boehner said in a statement thatRepublicans will rely on "smart, targeted strikes" aimed atsplitting Obama's support in Congress. His office did notelaborate.
But strategists say Republicans plan to use newly begunbudget talks to jettison provisions of the law that are alsounpopular with Democrats, possibly including a $29 billion taxon medical devices and a panel to control costs within theMedicare program for the elderly and disabled.

I'm surprised that no one has spoken up about the demo that was released, so I figured to start a thread about it here.
I played through it for the first time. Black_Knight was telling me earlier that it felt like a PSOne game to him, but when I played it, it looked decent enough to the point of where it was playable.
And that's the important part of the demo; the gameplay. I like to indulge myself in some hack-n-slash when I can and this is pretty cool, I have to admit. You can use your basic button combos to get the job done, but when you down the left trigger on the 360 controller (not sure what it is on the PS3), you'll go into what's called Blade Mode, where time slows down completely and you are able to freely slice and dice up your foes in anyway you see fit. So far, I've managed to get up to a 68-hit combo against the cyborg dog that you fight as the boss of the demo (wondering if there's an achievement/trophy for that?). What sucks, however, is the defense options you have. You can run around your opponents and apparently parry, but the demo doesn't explain it enough on how to parry or what kind of defensive manuevers you are given. Not even the freaking tutorial tells you at all; in fact, you are only given the game's basic instructions on the Blade Mode.
Also, after you are finished with each battle conflict, you'll be scored and ranked on how well you performed. The better you do at killing and surviving with a higher rate of energy, the better. Speaking of energy, in order to gain back energy, you'll need to finish off your opponents by pressing the B button when prompted. That happens once you hurt them enough to the point of where they can no longer fight back, so if you are low on energy, go for it!
There are elements of stealth, as you would expect from a Metal Gear game. In the demo, there's an ability called Augment mode (Konami's Detective Mode, if you will), where you can scan your surroundings and see who is or is not the bad guys and use the surroundings to your advantage. I tried to sneak by without being spotted, but that didn't happen, so I was forced to fight a couple of soldiers and two robots at one point. I wonder if there's an achievement/trophy for that too? Finally, I saw a Japanese symbol at the end of the boss fight, as Raiden was destroying the robot, but again, the demo doesn't tell you what to do and makes you try to figure it out as well.
Bottom line; it's a playable demo and it shows what the game will be like in the future, but I'm not entirely sure if it will grab Metal Gear fans or even hack-n-slash fans to the point of where a $60 purchase is justified.
For those who have played it, any thoughts?

College of Nursing at Upstate Medical University holds reunion, April 29
Alumni from SUNY Upstate Medical University's College of Nursing will celebrate Upstate's four decades of nursing education at the Nursing Reunion 2000, to be held Saturday, April 29, beginning at noon, at the Wyndham Syracuse (formerly the Syracuse Marriott).
Guest speaker Maryam Wasmund will open the program by presenting a talk titled "Time is the Essence" at the Reunion Luncheon. Wasmund is community relations manager at Barnes & Noble. Her talk will focus on the importance of people managing themselves rather than their time.
Keynote speaker Margie Wood will discuss the difference between change and transformation, creativity as a means of overcoming chaos, and ways to move from burnout to breakthrough. Wood is founder of Unlimited Options, a counseling, consulting and training firm for individuals and organizations in transition.
Tours of the SUNY Upstate Medical University campus, displays, a silent auction, a reception and a performance by the NurSING Notes, an RN nursing quartet complete the day's event.
The reunion is presented by Upstate Medical University's Nursing Alumni Association. The registration deadline is Friday, April 21. College alumni who have not received their invitation or who need more information should contact the Nursing Alumni Office at 315-464-4278.

Sparkly Tissue Box Earrings
If you're looking for a new twist on DIY jewelry crafts, look no further than this creative jewelry project. Go green and make Sparkly Tissue Box Earrings from Candace Jedrowicz that you can wear for any occasion. Add beads to the bottom and make your project sparkle and shine.
- Aleene's Original Tacky Glue
- Tissue box
- Scissors and/or shape punch – I used a 1 1/8″ circle punch
- Small hole punch – I used a 1/8″
- Weight or clamp (to hold pieces together while glue dries)
- Dimensional sealer
- 20 gauge wire
- Round nose pliers
- Chain nose pliers
- Wire cutters
- Beads
- High grit sandpaper or fingernail buffer
Cut or punch 2 shapes for each earrings and one piece to go between the 2.
Glue each set of the 3 layers together, place a weight or clamp on each assemblage and allow to dry.
Punch a small hole in each for hanging.
Cut a 3″ piece of wire for each earring.
Beginning 1″ from one end, fold over the round nose pliers and crimp with the chain nose pliers to form a loop.
Slide the loop through the hole in the cardboard and slip a bead over both wire ends.
Grasp the loop with the round nose pliers and wrap the short wire tail around the long tail.
Bend the long tail around the handle of the pliers (or anything that you have handy) to form the ear wire and cut off the excess.
- File the ends of the the ear wires until smooth.
For a comprehensive video tutorial of this project, check out How to Make Tissue Box Earrings.

Brad Hand P MIA 4 Months
Hand allowed one run on six hits with three walks and two strikeouts in a no-decision Wednesday against the Phillies.
Hand's only blemish was an RBI double by his counterpart Kyle Kendrick in the top of the seventh inning. The 24-year-old finishes the season with a 4.59 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and a 65:36 K:BB ratio in 104 innings.
Brad Hand P MIA 4 Months
Hand surrendered six runs -- five earned -- and eight hits in five innings against Washington on Thursday. He did not issue a walk and struck out four.
Hand was cruising early on, but allowed five runs in the fourth inning. He had been respectable lately, allowing just two runs in his previous two starts, a span of 12 innings. The Marlins have an off day next week, so Hand won't make two starts, and will instead have his final appearance of the year against Philadelphia on Wednesday.
Brad Hand P MIA 4 Months
Hand took the loss Saturday against the Phillies despite tossing six solid innings of two-run ball.
Hand was out-dueled by Kyle Kendrick, dropping him to 3-7 on the year. He struck out four without a walk during the outing, lowering his season ERA to 4.36 to go along with a 1.35 WHIP over 99 innings pitched between the rotation and the bullpen. He'll look to collect his third straight quality start Thursday against the Nationals.
Brad Hand P MIA 5 Months
Hand pitched six innings of scoreless ball in a win over Atlanta on Sunday, giving up four hits while recording three strikeouts and zero walks.
Despite Sunday's effective start, with Henderson Alvarez (oblique) close to a return, it remains to be seen if Hand will stick in the rotation. The southpaw owns a 4.45 ERA and 1.40 WHIP following the win over the Braves.
Brad Hand P MIA 5 Months
Hand will get the start Sunday against the Braves, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.
He has a 4.82 ERA in 65.1 innings as a starter this season for the Marlins, and with only 36 strikeouts over that stretch, he's got very little upside, even against the free-swinging Braves. This will likely just be a spot start, as Henderson Alvarez (oblique) or even someone from the farm system could be able to slot into the rotation next week.
Brad Hand P MIA 5 Months
Brad Penny, not Hand, will start Tuesday's game against the Mets, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
The Marlins skipped Hand in the rotation this week and will replace him at the back end with Brad Penny starting Tuesday, meaning the lefty will be relegated to the bullpen for the time being. Hand has posted a 4.71 ERA and 1.44 WHIP across 84 innings this season, but may end up getting another chance to start if Penny falters.
Brad Hand P MIA 5 Months
Hand will have his next start skipped as the Marlins turn to a four-man rotation this week, the Miami Herald reports.
Thanks to an off day Thursday, the Marlins do not need a fifth starter until September 2. Hand struggled in his last turn, allowing four runs on seven hits over 4.1 innings against Colorado. He'll likely be available out of the bullpen for the remainder of the week and could stick there if the Marlins decide to give Brad Penny another start down the line.
Brad Hand P MIA 5 Months
Hand allowed four runs on seven hits and three walks and three strikeouts in 4.1 innings in the Marlins' 7-4 loss to the Rockies on Sunday.
Hand has recorded three losses in his last four appearances. After holding a 2.70 ERA in July, Hand's ERA has risen to 5.68 in August. He's also allowed six home runs in his last three starts.
Brad Hand P MIA 5 Months
Hand will start Sunday at Colorado, the Miami Herald reports.
With a couple of starters returning from injury this week, it became clear that either Hand or Brad Penny would be bumped from the starting rotation. Hand, who tossed a scoreless inning in relief Wednesday, earned the nod after racking up five quality starts in his past six turns. The lefty owns a solid 3.79 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 40.1 inning pitched since the All-Star break.
Brad Hand P MIA 5 Months
Hand will be available out of the Marlins' bullpen over the next several days as his role for the remainder of the season is decided, the Miami Herald reports.
Henderson Alvarez and Jarred Cosart returned from injury this week, leaving just one starting spot for Hand and Brad Penny. Hand bounced back with a quality start this week after getting touched up for seven earned runs in Cincinnati a week ago and has taken significant strides during his latest stint in the rotation. Since Hand earned a second chance as a starter at the start of July, Hand has posted a 3.79 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 54.2 innings pitched. He's been quality in five of his last six starts while establishing himself as a viable back-end starter.

Construction work will cause some delays on Metra's BNSF line
Construction on BNSF tracks will delay some midday and evening Metra trains between Chicago and Aurora starting April 14, Metra and BNSF announced.
Most of the work to replace railroad ties and resurface tracks will be done at night and during non-rush hours, according to the two companies. The work is scheduled to last through May 2.
Chicago work is tentatively scheduled for April 14 to April 20. Cicero work is scheduled for April 21 to April 23. Berwyn work is scheduled April 22. Tentative work dates for La Grange and Western Springs are April 24 and 25. Tentative dates for Riverside and Brookfield are April 23 and 24. Work in Hinsdale is planned to go as far as mile post 17, which is just west of Washington Street, the release states. Hinsdale work is scheduled for April 26 and 30.
Train schedules during construction may be viewed here: https://metrarail.com/content/dam/metra/documents/BNSFConstruction04142014.pdf
The project will replace 20,000 ties and resurface 17 miles of track, changes Metra CEO Don Orseno said in the release will create a smoother ride and reliable service.
The work will also bring construction noise, added horn blowing as trains warn construction crews of their approach and road crossing closures "of various duration," the release states. Work is scheduled to begin near downtown Chicago and move west toward Hinsdale. Most work will be done from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. six days per week.
"The BNSF Line carries more riders than any other Metra line and is also heavily relied upon by freight traffic moving through the Chicago region," Orseno said. "This project is a part of the regular maintenance necessary to keep our rail lines in the best condition possible."

Viagra has caused headache in 16% of patients and flushing in 10%. It has caused transient blue-green color blindness, enough to alarm ophthalmological societies but not to put off those looking for the desired effect.
Some doctors must have developed writer's cramp, given the 120,000 prescriptions written in the second week after the drug's release. A few patients had heartburn. A few health maintenance organizations and insurance companies noted dyspepsia, a symptom they partially relieved by announcing that they would pay only for medically documented erectile dysfunction and only for six tablets a month.
This in turn caused heartburn and anxiety among investors and resulted in the stock staying temporarily on the roof and rising no further.
Discovered by serendipity while being tested as an agent for treating heart disease, this modern elixir of love is expected to soon reach the black market and become a popular recreational drug, more popular at parties than even Ecstasy. Some women are now also beginning to complain that, officially at least, they cannot get the drug yet might benefit from it as much as men.
British Medical Journal June 6,1998;316:1755
Dr. Mercola's Comment:
Why take an expensive drug that causes headaches, interacts with other agents metabolized by cytochrome P450, and that must never, never be taken with nitrates? To date, this drug has already killed 16 people and is banned in Isreal, yet our FDA continues to say that Viagra is safe and effective. The drug has only been available since March, yet 1.7 million prescriptions have been written.

For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – July 18, 2013 – Zacks.com announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include Google Inc.

Today, Zacks is promoting its ''Buy'' stock recommendations. Get #1Stock of the Day pick for free.
Here are highlights from Wednesday's Analyst Blog:
Will Google Beat Earnings Estimates?
Growth Factors This Past Quarter
Google's gross revenue in the first quarter of 2013 was down sequentially but up from the year-ago year quarter. Additionally, Google's strong position in the mobile segment enabled it to generate strong mobile revenue growth. Google reported a gross margin of 57.9%, which was up sequentially due to a favorable mix.
The company's success in the tablet market, initiatives in the e-commerce segment (both retail and payment platforms), its Google Fibre initiative and its Nexus and Chromebook platforms are quite encouraging. We believe Google's growth strategies and solid execution will help the company to continue on the growth path.
Earnings Whispers?
Our proven model does not conclusively show that Google will beat earnings this quarter. That is because a stock needs to have both a positive earnings expected surprise prediction or ESP (Read: Zacks Earnings ESP: A Better Method) and a Zacks Rank #1, #2 or #3 for this to happen. That is not the case here as you will see below.
Negative Zacks ESP: The Most Accurate estimate stands at $8.89 per share while the Zacks Consensus Estimate is higher at $9.04. That is a difference of -1.66%.
Zacks Rank #3 (Hold): Google's Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) when combined with a negative ESP makes surprise prediction difficult.
We caution against stocks with Zacks Ranks #4 and #5 (Sell rated stocks) going into the earnings announcement, especially when the company is seeing negative estimate revisions momentum.
Other Stocks to Consider
Here are some other companies you may want to consider as our model shows that they have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this quarter:
- Sandisk Corp. (SNDK-Free Report), with an ESP of +4.55% and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy)
- Syntel Inc. (SYNT-Free Report), with an ESP of +3.81% and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy)
- Scientific Games Corp. (SGMS-Free Report), with an ESP of +100.0% and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold)

When I was 22 I dated a 29y.o. korean girl who fit the stereotype. Didn't matter what I did, she would come over when I called and tell me she loved me…and I did some extremely suspect things @_@ eg.(forced finger in the 'stink' while she struggled to get away with a mortified look on her face, fully clothed and watching TV mind you…other stuff that could easily be considered date-rape if she wanted to press charges) Ok, I wouldn't be such an asshole these days, but the fact is she just …
- Guys Who Take Dates on a Train "Should Be Single for Life":
Wouldn't they be more japanophiles? Though serisouly, if I remember correctly (from some blogs and documentaries) it's more to do with how Japanese women are seen as "Yamato Nadeshikos" even in the eyes of white dudes. Where the man is the one in control of everything. Which is ironic because they are anything but now…Japanese women are just as crass and bitchy as any other if not more with how often they sell themselves before they even hit 15. All men want a somewhat obedient housewife …
- Guys Who Take Dates on a Train "Should Be Single for Life":
The sad part is owning a car in Japan is almost as expensive purchasing a house in another country. Recent check; the cost of a new Honda Fit/Jazz (small economy hatchback) in Japan when converted to US dollars is almost enough to get you into a new Mercedes C250 (luxury sedan). With Japan's economy literally stumbling… …it's all too apparent how high standards Japanese women has set for society these days. No brainer about Japan's birth rates.
- Guys Who Take Dates on a Train "Should Be Single for Life":
woah woah there buddy. Men and women both have it hard. Each has to deal with adversities pertaining to their gender. So chill on the 'men are victims' card and realize that everyone is a victim of something. FUCK the idea that men of women have it hard, LIFE is hard in general and the stupid people like this chick or your victim complex makes it even harder.

- 2 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
- 1.50 pound(s) (about 4) leeks, white and light green parts only, cut into 1/2-inch-thick half-moons
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 clove(s) garlic, finely chopped

- 1/4 cup(s) grated Parmesan
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Butter a 3-quart or 9- by 13-inch baking dish.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and onion, season with 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in garlic and thyme and cook for 3 minutes; remove from heat. Add cheese and artichokes to leek mixture and toss to combine.

Tips & Techniques
Tip from The Casserole Queens: We adore artichoke hearts, and the canned or frozen versions make prep so easy. If youre going with canned, choose the ones packed in water, because oil-packed artichokes will change the consistency of the creamy sauce.

Jay Leno to return to old time slot
By Jim Hagerty
Staff Writer
Late-night host Jay Leno is returning to his old NBC timeslot. According to network execs, The Jay Leno Show isn't the ratings-sweeper it was hoped to be. It airs at 9 p.m. locally, and will reportedly return to its 10:35 p.m. slot in March, following pre-empted coverage of the 2010 Winter Olympics. Leno's show will be shortened to 30 minutes. The last 9 p.m. show will air Feb. 12.
Leno hosted the The Tonight Show from 1992 to 2009. He was succeeded by Conan O'Brien last May.
Ratings have also reportedly taken their toll on Tonight, which would have O'Brien moved to 11:05 p.m. locally, if he chooses to stay with the network. According to O'Brien's contract, the shift is allowable. However, the former host of Late Night hasn't formally announced his plans.
If O'Brien does bail, Leno would likely return to The Tonight Show. It is widely rumored O'Brien has been talking to Fox execs while ABC has said it has no interest in adding to its already successful late-night lineup, led by Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
Meantime, Jimmy Fallon, who now hosts Late Night, is secure in his post. Since Fallon took over for O'Brien, the show has been a success and rated higher in at least one category than The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.
Leno and O'Brien have jabbed NBC, with O'Brien saying at the top of a recent show, "Good evening, everybody. I'm Conan O'Brien, the new host of Last Call with Carson Daly."
Jay Leno's Monday, Jan. 11, monologue was as flippant: "As you may know, our show has been canceled. NBC has some pilots to fill up the 10 p.m. time slot. They're talking about bringing back All in the Family, with Harry Reid as Archie Bunker."
From the Jan. 13-19, 2010 issue.

A heated debate broke out in Burma's lower house Monday over efforts by the opposition to overhaul the constitution prior to the 2015 elections. As per previous debates, the military contingent – which takes up a quarter of seats and thereby wields effective veto over such matters – resisted the idea that charter reform, and allowing Aung San Suu Kyi to run for president, might benefit the country. "I would like you all to remember that the constitution is not written for just a person but for the future of everyone," Colonel Htay Naing, one of the uniformed MPs, told parliament.
But he deployed another buzz phrase that illustrates very succinctly how the military perpetuates the myth that it is the only viable protector of a country beset by internal discord. The constitution shouldn't be changed, Col. Htay Naing added, because ongoing fighting in the border regions threatened to destabilize Burma. Therefore "unity", in the shape of fealty to a constitution the junta rushed through in 2008 amid the chaos of Cyclone Nargis, is required.
This raises several questions. One concerns the reasons as to why Burmese should wish to stand by a constitution that was passed amid conditions that make a mockery of democratic processes (it allegedly received 98% of the vote from a 92% turnout, despite the fact that several million people had been left destitute by the cyclone, on top of the several million more in conflict zones that were unable to vote). Suu Kyi's party earlier this year collected signatures from 10% of the population wanting a referendum on the constitution, suggesting that not all are in agreement with Htay Naing's vision of "the future of everyone".
More pertinently, however, he exploited a situation in the border regions that the military plays a direct role in fueling. Despite some progress in ceasefire talks, bouts of heavy fighting are ongoing, with the army continuing to attack civilians. But Htay Naing's logic follows that the instability resulting from the fighting, which the military is arguably the key driver of, is apparently reason enough for it to retain power. It's a useful illustration of the circular strategy of the military – perpetuate instability, draw on it to justify dominance, and then refer back to it when that power is challenged.
Were this merely a case of one man pointing to one incident then it wouldn't be means for great concern. But it's a strategy the elite in Burma has used for decades to both rationalize its rule, and to cast those who challenge it as criminal saboteurs bent on destabilizing the union. It can be used to illuminate the more subtle ways in which the military, or those in government who share its resistance to democratic transition, has actively sought to foment unrest that it can then capitalize on – one example being the Buddhist-Muslim violence.
On top of the various suggestions that security forces played an active role in aiding Buddhist mobs (not to mention the decades of anti-Muslim government propaganda that has helped normalize the current-day attacks on Muslims), government ministers have been fingered for complicity – Aung Thaung, a powerful MP known to be close to former junta leader Than Shwe, was recently sanctioned by the US government reportedly for his role in provoking anti-Muslim sentiment (the US government isn't the only one to share this suspicion).
Indeed when violence first broke out in Rakhine state in June 2012, prominent Rakhines called for troops to come in and "protect" them against the Rohingya. This is despite the fact that the Rakhine have a long history of quite vitriolic resentment towards the Burmese military and have continually resisted its efforts to influence the affairs of the state.
In this sense it's plain to see how the military actively benefits from instability – Colonel Htay Naing spelled it out quite clearly. Why this is of particular concern with regards the constitution is that this document, were it revised, could be the one thing that dilutes the military's power, and then codifies a new order in which the military doesn't have veto over legislation in what should be a civilian parliament. Resisting this will have a serious impact on whether something approaching a genuine form of democracy ever emerges in Burma. At present, however, conflict clearly remains politically profitable, and because of that we may see the military continue to stoke it for some time.

The HTC One X landed in Europe in early April and was released today on AT&T, and as such, earned the distinction of first of the next-gen hardware. But being first isn't always the best - on Thursday, Samsung revealed their new flagship, the Galaxy S III.
I've had the European version of the One X for a few weeks now and in my book, it's the best damn phone on the market right now, bar none. David spent some time with the AT&T variant (which lost some cores and storage but picked up LTE on its trip to the States) and came away equally as impressed, calling it "the best all-around Android phone you can buy in the US today."
Surprisingly, the price is entirely reasonable, too - it checks in at just $550 off contract, $200 on contract from AT&T, or $150 from Amazon Wireless.
After MoDaCo's recent report that HTC's Bootloader Unlock tool didn't work for AT&T's One X variant, The Verge reached out to the Taiwanese manufacturer, and received a reply which suggested that the device has "restrictions" which prevent its bootloader from being unlockable:
Owners of the Motorola Droid 3 are getting a hefty over the air system update that addresses a number of concerns with the firmware and included apps. Firmware version 5.7.905 clocks in at 224.8MB in size, so make sure you allow at least an hour on Verizon's 3G to pull down the file.
As for system bugs, the Droid 3 is getting a few Google security patches, a fix for mysterious device power ons, better camera autofocus, improved call quality, and a few stability improvements around HDMI and Bluetooth.
The Galaxy S III is... well... it's ugly. There's really no other way to put it. But why? Why is it ugly? I don't mean aesthetically, why is it ugly, I mean, "How did something like this ever make it out of Samsung's design studio?" I'll tell you how, it was never in the design studio. This phone design was born down the hall, in a room where the door sign reads "Samsung Legal."
It was designed by lawyers.
Gingerbread may have been out for nearly a year and a half now, but did you know there are some phones out there that have been living on nothing but Froyo this whole time? It's sad and it's true. Today, though, one abandoned phone is finding a new home on Gingebread: the CLIQ 2. Finally rolling out the 2.3 update, after launching back in January 2011 with Android 2.2 on board.
Happy Star Wars day, everyone! ASUS got you a present: it's firmware updates with a side of source code! You can head to ASUS' site right now and download firmware version V184.108.40.206 for a few countries including the US, as well as version V18.104.22.168 if you're in Japan. Kernel source code for the TF300T is also available, in both x.17 and x.23 flavors for your downloading pleasure.
Head on over to the source link and select "Android" from the dropdown box to get your downloads.
A small OTA update started rolling out the HTC EVO 4G on Sprint this morning that brings but one enhancement to the device: the Sprint Connections Optimizer. Never heard of it? It's actually pretty neat.
It's basically a location-aware service that can enable/disable Wi-Fi and WiMax based on user defined variables (much like Tasker or Locale). For example, it can automatically turn on Wi-Fi when it knows you're at home or the office.

How do you solve a problem like the Presidential Medal of Freedom?
"We're having trouble thinking up great living people," Shelley N. Fidler, an aide in Bill Clinton's White House, wrote to a colleague in a 1997 memo floating the names of possible recipients of the medal, the country's most prestigious civilian honor.
According to Fidler's memo, one of thousands of pages of Clinton White House documents released on Friday, astronomer Carl Sagan — famous for popularizing science and space with his late 1970s television series, "Cosmos," books, speeches and other writings — was in contention for the medal.
"You know – they just renamed the place where the Rover landed the Carl Sagan Memorial Station," Fidler wrote to White House Staff Secretary Todd Stern in the July 7, 1997 message. "I wonder if that boosts Carl Sagan posthumously [sic] for a Medal of Freedom. You know he was one of the very first to sound the warning on climate as well."
Ultimately, however, the Clinton administration did not give Sagan, who had died a year earlier, the award.
Another name floated in the e-mail message: UC Irvine Professor Frank Sherwood Rowland, a Nobel laureate known for his research on environmental issues such as the depletion of the ozone layer.
"I think we already gave you Sherry Rowland – who won the Nobel for discovering the ozone hole but also is a notable on climate as well," Fidler wrote, adding the following selling point: "He's alive."
Fidler's final recommendation: "Another good dead person is Ansel Adams."
(Turns out Adams, the iconic photographer, already received the award from former President Jimmy Carter in 1980).
The conundrum the Clinton White House faced, according to Fidler: "We're having trouble thinking up great living people. I guess that's everyone's affliction these days."

"... trolling wasn't the work of just a few bad apples. Instead, there were many, many people who sent us mean messages saying that they simply thought the blog shouldn't exist." Amanda Levitt of FatBodyPolitics.com writes about the role that trolling, up to and including threats of violence and doxxing, plays in maintaining privilege and furthering oppression.

Trademark trolling at its best
King, developers of Bejeweled clone Candy Crush Saga, have trademarked the word "candy" and are attempting to use this to take down other developers' games that have the word "candy" in their names. Also, despite their thus-far failure to trademark the word "saga", they're already trying to prevent other games from having the word "saga" in their titles.
YHBT YHL HAND. Repeat.
Jesse A. Myerson described five economic reforms millenials should be fighting for in Rolling Stone. Conservatives were generally aghast at the suggestions.

Basic Income III. Land Value Tax IV. Sovereign Wealth Fund V. Public Bank. Ezra Klein discusses the trolling.
GitHub removes anti-feminist satire from code repo
In the wake of a questionable article about feminist programming languages, a group of trolls leapt on the idea to create a parodic implementation. GitHub promptly removed the code repository, as did BitBucket, but the latter restored it amid the controversy. More commentary from Slashdot and Twitter.

Trolls For FREEDOM
Early this morning (midday in the Middle East), al-Qaeda launched a hashtag on Twitter to solicit advice on "suggestions for the development of jihadi media".

The good word was spread across the national security and terrorism Twitterspace, and they successfully hijacked the hashtag from al-Qaeda. [more inside]
"what defines truth in the digital age"
Trolling just got a bit tougher
Patent trolling is viewed by many as modern scourge on the software industry that arguably does not stimulate innovation, but stifles it. The drumbeat has been getting louder for action against the practice. Today, the White House has announced that it is ready to take action. Previously
"Her daughter is a six year old version of me."

Comments Are Important?
privilege-checking and call-out culture
Ariel Meadow Stallings (creator of Offbeat Mama and Offbeat Bride) on liberal bullying: "...what's the biggest challenge we deal with every day? The challenge that has my editors second-guessing every post and quaking in fear, just waiting for the awfulness to begin? It's attacks from our fellow progressives... Increasingly, I've started recognizing this kind of behavior for what it is: privilege-checking as a form of internet sport. It's a kind of trolling, with all the politics I agree with, but motivations and execution that turns my stomach. It's well-intended (SO well-intended), but when the motivations seem to be less about opening dialogue about the issues, and more about performance, righteousness, and intolerance for those who don't agree with you… well, I'm not on-board."

There Is No Effective Way To Respond
Sam Harris- 'Wrestling The Troll' "Topics like torture, recreational drug use, and wealth inequality can provoke outrage and misunderstanding in many audiences. But discussing them online sets your reputation wandering like a child across a battlefield—perpetually. Anything can and will be said at your expense—or falsely attributed to you—today, tomorrow, and years hence. Needless to say, the urge to respond to this malevolence and obfuscation can become irresistible. "
Why You Should Feed the Trolls If You Damn Well Need To
"Note (January 26, 2012): Some people have complained that this site has been sending them texts. If you're one of them, then someone else might be playing a prank on you. This Cat Facts page does not gather people's emails or phone numbers and has no technology capable of sending out messages. Sorry, there is nothing we can do to help since we aren't the ones sending the messages."
Deindividuation and Polarization through Online Anonymity
And nothing of value was lost
Founded in 2004 as a place to catalog LiveJournal drama rejected from Wikipedia, Encyclopedia Dramatica rapidly became the premier site on the web for all manner of lulz. Intended "in the spirit of Ambrose Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary," ED grew into a sprawling crowdsourced compendium of memes, subcultures, communities, personalities, and the endless feuds and controversies spawned by 4chan and other anonymous imageboards. While comprehensive, the site developed a reputation for nastiness -- full of "ironic" (?) racism, gratuitous porn, organized attacks on other sites, and disturbingly thorough dossiers on perceived enemies, all dripping with vicious snark (just check out their entry on MetaFilter). But now, after more than six years, it appears the troll has become the trolled. Founder Sherrod "Girlvinyl" DeGrippo, allegedly disillusioned by the site's legal woes and nihilistic trajectory, has permanently shuttered the site and replaced it with OhInternet, a slicker, cleaner, Web 2.0 effort modeled after more respectable internet guides like Know Your Meme (which recently sold to Cheezburger Networks for a cool $N million, discussed here). Backups and mirrors abound, but as for the source? Pool's closed... forever.

Trolling is a lot like flirting. It can be very hard to identify, and when the beloved perpetrator is confronted, he or she may become a little mushmouthed or downright rude.

More than 500 A-Level students from 36 schools have been getting up close and personal with a beating heart today (Thursday 13 March 2008) as part of the University's annual one-day Science in Health Live event.
One of 17 specially planned activities throughout the day, Year 12 pupils from across Wales and England visited Cardiff School of Medicine to take part in interactive clinical tours where they had the chance to observe a heart beating.
The students also saw the anatomy of a living heart, learnt how the heart can go wrong, how science is used to treat any abnormalities, and perform an echocardiogram.
Hosted by the School of Medicine and The Sir Geraint Evans Wales Heart Research Institute (WHRI), Science in Health Live is one of the highlights in the University's 125th Anniversary public engagement calendar. It is also part of a University-wide series of public events to celebrate National Science and Engineering Week (March 7-16).
Now in its 15th year, Science in Health Live provides young people with the opportunity to find out the real science behind the medicine, and see first hand the study and career options open to them in health, biomedical and scientific fields.
This year's showcase combined talks, exhibits and clinical case presentations on subjects as varied as microbes, physiotherapy, genetics, leukaemia, DNA and microscopy and students visited research laboratories within the School of Medicine.
James Matthews, Innovation & Engagement coordinator at the School of Medicine said: "The University is at the forefront of international medical research and education. This is a perfect opportunity for people thinking about a career in science or health to see just how many avenues are open to them. There is a serious job to be done in medical research but it can still be fun and intellectually challenging."
National Science and Engineering Week, which aims to promote science and engineering to young people is marked every year by the University. Just some of the questions posed by public events this year include whether Daleks, sonic screwdrivers and time travel can ever become reality? What impact will the Severn Barrage have? Could nanotechnology be a saviour or a destroyer?
