Take our advice to make NBC great again
By Mitch Haddad, NBC
Our long National Broadcasting Company nightmare is over.
For more than a decade, we've watched as a once-proud network was trashed by a management team so inept, many of us were willing to overlook concerns over NBC Universal's now-completed merger with Comcast, just to be rid of them.
Really, when Comcast is the knight in shining armor, you've gone pretty far off track.
So now here we are, with a new owner and new management, led by Bob Greenblatt, a well-regarded programmer who turned Showtime into a major cable player through series such as Dexter, Weedsand Nurse Jackie.
Tomorrow, we can worry whether it's really the best idea to turn one of the Big Four broadcast networks and its related studio and cable outlets over to the country's largest cable company — one whose own cable networks are hardly models of artistic merit. But for now, let's assume the change will mean better days for NBC and offer Greenblatt some suggestions to speed those days along.
Repair relations.
Nobody loves you when you're down in Hollywood, but it's only when you're out that the knives truly flash. Which explains the near-universal creative community disdain for NBC, particularly former CEO Jeff Zucker, that poured out on industry blogs and in news reports the minute the merger was announced. (When the new management team was revealed in September, the Hollywood Reporter story was headlined, "Hollywood Hopeful for NBC without Jeff Zucker.")
You don't want to overestimate the importance of bitter words in Hollywood. People may not have liked NBC, but that didn't stop most of them from working there if it offered the best or only job available.
Still, the network would be better off with better relations with its suppliers and its competitors, if only to stem the public perception that it's become the TV stop of last resort. And it is public: Blogging, tweeting and a thousand gossip sites ensure that much of what was once "inside information" is now out and on the loose. Image counts in the entertainment industry, and it's hard to maintain a decent image when people take such joy in splattering you with mud.
Grab attention.
We know what an NBC comedy is: ironic and smart, with a penchant for the absurd. But the network's dramas have no consistent identity, sparse critical acclaim and equally sparse public appeal.
The only NBC hour to crack the top 20 in the last weekly ratings was newcomer Harry's Law, and it has yet to face fresh competition on ABC and CBS on the same night.
One of the blessings of being that unsuccessful is that you're obviously not burdened by success; you can try new things and push old envelopes.
It would probably be a mistake to turn NBC into a slightly bigger Showtime; as good as Dexter is, its appeal is too limited for a broadcast network, even in these days of splintered audiences. But it might not be a bad idea to launch at least one series with a similar sort of edge, just to get people talking about the network's hours again.
Go big.
Unlike NBC's dramas, its sitcoms win awards and praise. What they don't win, at least not reliably, is their time slots, not even in the younger demographic, where they do best.
Don't get me wrong. I love Community; I hold out hope for Outsourced, and I have lingering affection for a fading 30 Rock. But what NBC needs is an actual hit, not a demo-driven series it can parse and explain into being a hit. There's nothing wrong with having a niche show like Parks and Recreation, but an entire evening of Parks and Recreation dooms you to perpetual also-ran status.
Go wide.
Look at the phenomenal numbers BET pulled in with its revival of CW's The Game. Look at the growing success of the Spanish-language networks. Doesn't that tell you that there are at least two underserved markets just waiting for some Big Four network to wise up and tap into them?
And who better to do so than NBC, the network of I Spy, Chico and the Man and The Cosby Show? Not only does NBC have the tradition, it has the ratings proof that such a program, when done well, can attract a mass audience that extends far beyond any racial or cultural targets. The talent and the viewers are out there. What's lacking is the network will.
That will do, for now, for NBC advice. But here's one for the network's new owners at Comcast:
Hands off.
Did you notice that, when Keith Olbermann resigned from MSNBC, the immediate angry response in some quarters was to blame Comcast?
It's unclear whether or to what degree the company was involved (despite corporate denials), but those instant accusations are enough to remind Comcast that many people are wary of its power, intentions and influence.
Wariness may never grow into fury — and given the current government climate, even fury might not be enough to prod Congress or the Federal Communications Commission into action. (Fleeting nudity gets the FCC's attention; a corporate stranglehold on media outlets, not so much.) But Comcast would be wise not to push it.

How do I fix my audio video connections?
My NES wasnt connecting to my tv, but I found out that when i applied a downwards pressure on the audio and video inputs on my nintendo, it ended up working (i'm sure its not the cables, as I have tested many kinds)
I tried opening my nintendo, but there was no way of accessing the interior of the input/outputs since the video card is saudered on the top of one side and the mother board is saudered onto the other side. What is wrong? What should I do?
Kelsey Holkestad did you get it fixed or at least looked at? really would like to know how your console is doin.
My advise would be to disassemble according to the instructions on here. Take the cover of that shields the RCA connection (TV out etc) and take a close look at all the solders as well as the resistor and the PCB. Anytime it works when you apply pressure would intake a microcrack in the solder points etc. It is hard to determine exactly what is going on, but you will have to start somewhere. Attached find the schematic for your console. Good Luck and let us know how you are progressing. Keep those consoles alive :-))
Hey, I havent had a chance to fix it yet... I'm waiting for my guy friends to come help me :P haha I'll let you know when I do!
C'mon you can do it.... your friend would be pretty surprised if he finds out that you fixed it...;-) good luck and let us know.

Royal Jordanian has 30 scheduled flights a week to Iraq, mainly to Baghdad and also to Irbil, capital of the autonomous Kurdish region in the north. (AFP/HO/Jordanian Royal Palace/FILE)
AMMAN: Jordan's national carrier Saturday suspended flights to the Iraqi capital for security reasons, an airline official told AFP.
"Royal Jordanian suspended its flights to Baghdad today because of the security situation," said the source, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The airline was closely monitoring developments in Iraq and may extend the suspension of flights, added the source.
Islamic State fighters killed 16 Kurdish troops in attacks in northern Iraq, while 30 pro-government forces died in clashes with the jihadists on other frontlines, Iraqi officials said on Saturday.
The jihadist group, which had already seized large swaths of Syria, launched a blistering offensive on June 9 that saw them capture Mosul, Iraq's second city, and move into much of the country's Sunni heartland.
Royal Jordanian has 30 scheduled flights a week to Iraq, mainly to Baghdad and also to Irbil, capital of the autonomous Kurdish region in the north.
On Friday, Germany's Lufthansa said it was halting flights over Iraq until late Sunday.
Australian carrier Qantas also said Saturday that it was suspending flights over the conflict zone despite earlier pledging to carry on.
Air France-KLM, Delta, Emirates, United and Virgin Atlantic had previously said they had stopped flying through Iraqi airspace.
The shooting down over rebel-held territory in Ukraine last month of a Malaysian airliner by a ground-to-air missile brutally highlighted the dangers of civilian aircraft overflying combat zones.
But British Airways said Saturday that it would keep flying over Iraq, despite the downing of Flight MH17 in Ukraine.
Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways has also said it will continue to use the flight path over Iraq.

Volkswagen Beetle Reverse Gear Failures and Noise in Manual Transmission Models are Common
Volkswagen Beetle Problem
Model Years Affected: 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010
Average Mileage: 110,375 mi (52,000 mi - 200,000 mi)
Visitor, 2003 Volkswagen Beetle, 105,500 mi
Mine is almost 12 years old. It's a salvage that looked and felt brand new when I bought it. It did sit for 3 months between being fixed and me buying it. Besides the smell coming out of the vents I do have issues getting it into reverse, but only after I've been driving around for a while. Starting it first thing in the morning or after work there are no issues. I am going to have it looked at.
Visitor, 2002 Volkswagen Beetle, 84,000 mi
wont back up
RedBug99, 1999 Volkswagen Beetle, 200,000 miRookie
Mine did that when I first got her in 2010. Took her to Autobahn in Memphis, TN. They fixed it, but I can't remember what the heck they did. No problems since, but VW manuals are "slippery." So WARNING: Do NOT let anybody who's not a VW person drive your VW manual!!
Visitor, 1998 Volkswagen Beetle, 52,000 mi
I had to rebuild entire transmission at 52, 00 miles!!! All gears went progressively, on a 2005 Bug with minimal use. 52 k miles at 2013. I was told that the valve body was defective... but I have not seen any recalls... cost me a fortune!!! Wouldn't buy another VW, after being VW owner since, 1976.

Fitch Ratings has downgraded the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico's general obligation (GO) and related debt ratings to 'B' from 'BB-' and placed them on Rating Watch Negative. The complete list of affected credits is included at the end of this release.
Today's action on the GO rating results in a downgrade of the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (PRASA) senior lien revenue bonds to 'B' from 'B+' and maintained on Negative Watch. However, it does not affect Fitch's ratings on debt of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA; rated 'CC', Watch Negative).
The downgrade and Negative Watch reflect elevated concerns regarding both the ability of the Commonwealth to execute a financing to bolster the liquidity cushion of the Government Development Bank (GDB), and thereby that of the Commonwealth, and the willingness to pay on the part of the legislature. These issues are clearly related, as Fitch believes that recent statements and actions by the legislature that would result in an abrogation of the Commonwealth's commitments to general government bondholders have increased the challenges to a successful Puerto Rico Infrastructure Finance Authority (PRIFA) financing and, at a minimum, are likely to result in an increase in already elevated borrowing costs.
Very upbeat. Maybe even a divy hike in our future after some cap ex is thru.
Interesting read. Very long and in depth article.http://www.janney.com/File%20Library/Muni%20Sector%20Scorecard/PR-March-2015.pdf#481_42771896_18911_-1_1426772314051
Go to twitter and type in search: $BP yahoo won't let me link it.
Rumors on twitter that CVX wants BP for $48. BP calls very active
Add to that WBA chatter for deal!
Holy S***! 108,000 Apr. 9 C....1 trade for 81,302 yikes!
Cohen barking about bonds again. Probably why we were off today
Thanks for posting, very informative.
It will be most interesting to see the action around $15.25. After that is the gap to almost $18. Volumes are strong on every push up. Pretty soon the sellers will be gone and all that's left are buyers.
Happened about 20 min. ago. Stock moved up right after the trade was finished. Hummmmm!
Just saw this written by Joe Williams today:
zulily, inc. (NASDAQ:ZU) witnessed a selling pressure and the shares last traded with a loss of -0.08 points or -0.56% at $13.4. Investors jumped in to buy the shares on weakness. The net money flow till latest update was calculated at $1.74 million with an inflow of $8.08 million in upticks and an outflow of $6.35 million in downticks. Using the data, the up/down ratio is found to be 1.27. This is very significant and implies that the smart money is buying the counter on dips. The share price has recorded -4.39% on a weekly basis.A block trade of $1.23 million in uptick and $0.13 million in downtick was also observed, resulting in an up/down ratio of 9.11. The net money flow of the block trade stood at a $1.09, signaling heavy buying.
Nice job moving up while Mkt is getting slammed. May be there is something to the buy out rumors
Go to twitter and type in $ZU into search. You will see it for yourself.
Do some homework and read this:http://semiaccurate.com/2015/03/02/behind-fake-qualcomm-snapdragon-810-overheating-rumors/

Great article. Very long but worth the read.

I agree...5k Mar. 74 calls too...the heavy call buying seems to signal that we'll hear something + soon.
Not sure of the intentions of the call buyers on Friday. It may have been ex-div related. QCOM goes ex today.

Continuing a trend that just won't go away, Father Robert F. Poandl of Cincinnati pleaded not guilty this morning to charges of sexual abuse, which allegedly occurred in 1991. The now 28-year-old man claimed that Poandl molested him during a trip to the Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in West Virginia, where he was accompanying Poandl who was to fill in for a local priest there.
Poandl was indicted last month on charges of 1st degree sexual assault, 1st degree sexual abuse and sexual abuse by a custodian. Father Dan Dorsey, president of Glenmary Home Missioners, to which Poandl was an associate, says Poandl was removed from active service as a pastor in Georgia when he learned of the allegations in June of last year.
However Catholic officials are receiving criticism from SNAP (the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) for not publicly addressing the allegations sooner. "We...hope Catholic officials - in both Ohio and West Virginia - will tell the truth about why they kept quiet about these allegations for over six months," said the group's midwest director, Judy Jones, in a statement released on Thursday. "Such secrecy is immoral and reckless, and may have led to other kids being abused too." Poandl has served as a priest since 1968. He has resided as pastor over churches in Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas, and Mississippi.
As to why the alleged victim was even with Poandl in West Virginia at the time, it is unclear. Details over their visit to Holy Redeemer Catholic Church have yet to be disclosed. However one thing is certain, and that is it will be a much greater surprise if Poandl is found innocent of these charges than it will be if he is found guilty. It's strange to find oneself desensitized to a matter such as this. But unfortunately, Poandl is just another number in the 4,450 priests accused of sexual abuse between 1950 and 2002, this according to a 2004 survey commissioned by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Poandl's trial is scheduled for June 15, 2010. He is free on a bond of $15,000.
An analysis of U.S. crime data by a British newspaper has found there's been a 25 percent increase in civilian justifiable homicides since the controversial "stand your ground" (SYG) laws started being introduced in 2005.
London's Guardian newspaper analyzed data from FBI and state sources. It concludes that the spike in civilian justifiable homicides is related not only to SYG laws, but also weak gun control laws in certain states.
Florida was the first state to introduce an SYG law in 2005 and similar measures have now been adopted in some form by more than 20 states. Most were passed in 2006. Ohio doesn't yet have such a law, but it's believed that gun advocates might be planning a campaign for one here soon.
Florida's SYG law is expected to be part of the defense made for George Zimmerman, if he is charged with a crime. Zimmerman was the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed an unarmed African-American teenager, Trayvon Martin, Feb. 26 in Sanford, Fla. The incident has triggered widespread public outrage.
The Guardian's analysis shows that SYG laws alone cannot be statistically linked with the rise in justifiable homicides. But in states with both SYG laws and the weakest gun control laws — as defined by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence — it found a statistical correlation with an increase in justifiable homicides.
Across the United States, such killings have risen sharply over the past five years, according to the data provided by the FBI and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. From 2001-05, there were 1,225 homicides classified as justifiable, compared to 1,528 in the period 2006-10. By contrast, violent crime overall has been falling.
"The police are shooting more people and citizens are shooting more people. We're evolving into an increasingly coarse society with no obligation to diffuse a situation and rapidly turn to force," said Professor Dennis Kenney, of John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York and an ex-police sergeant in Florida. "People are literally getting away with murder."
SYG laws allow a potential crime victim who is in fear of "grave harm" to use deadly force in public places, not just inside their own homes. They eliminate the legal requirement to retreat before a person may claim he or she acted in self-defense.
SYG laws have been pushed by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which drafts model legislation for state lawmakers to use.
State Sen. Bill Seitz (R-Green Township) is among ALEC's leaders, as CityBeat has previously reported here and here. The group, which held its annual meeting in Cincinnati last spring, has a membership of nearly 2,000 state legislators and around 300 private-sector members.
Funded by the Koch brothers, the National Rifle Association, oil companies and others, ALEC's model bills have served as the template for "voter ID" laws that swept the nation in 2011, for the voucher programs that privatize public education, for anti-immigrant legislation, and for the wave of anti-labor union legislation pushed during the past two years in Ohio, Wisconsin, Indiana, Arizona, New Hampshire and elsewhere.
This week Coca-Cola and PepsiCo dropped their memberships in ALEC, amid the threat of boycotts.
In 2010 National Public Radio reported that Corrections Corp. of America (CCA), a private-sector ALEC board member, participated in the drafting of Arizona Senate Bill No. 1070. The report documented the behind-the-scenes effort to draft and pass the law and how the CCA stood to benefit from people incarcerated under it.
Marvin Meadors, a Huffington Post contributor, has described ALEC as "a bill-churning mill which uses corporate money to draft model legislation that advances the agenda of the Far Right and encourages crony capitalism."
No matter what you think about her, you've at least got to admire her spunk.
Perennial candidate Sandra "Queen" Noble has suffered another defeat at the polls. Noble ran in the Libertarian Party's primary Tuesday to be the nominee for Ohio's 1st Congressional District seat.
Noble received just 20 votes (12.74 percent of ballots cast) and lost to Jim Berns, who got 137 votes (87.26 percent).
Berns will face off against U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot (R-Westwood), the Republican incumbent, in the November election. Others in the race are Democratic candidate Jeff Sinnard and Green Party candidate Rich Stevenson.
For comparison, Chabot got 57,005 votes in Tuesday's primary, while Sinnard got 4,509 and Stevenson got 91.
Regular CityBeat readers are familiar with Noble, who ran as an independent last year for Cincinnati City Council. She received 2,726 votes, and finished in 21st place.
During that election, Noble responded to CityBeat's questionnaire to candidates, but her answers didn't always connect to the queries posed. For example, when she was asked about a garbage fee proposed by City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr., Noble replied, "He's a morpher, over-charging folks for the grand larceny committed by public and staff officials dipping in the till. In '05, I ran for mayor. I offered a guaranteed cure for male-pattern baldness. I'd still do Mr. Dohoney, damn!"
Also, she became known for her unusual public appearances and actions on the campaign trail, such as dressing in a makeshift cat tail and cat ears, and drawing whiskers on her face. In a candidate biography, she described herself as a "fashion designer in Walnut Hills who designs tails, which she wears."
At one memorable candidate forum, Noble left the room by walking across the table tops where people were seated in the audience. She also has a personal injury lawsuit against the "Stolen United States of America," in which she's seeking "$994 trillion" in damages.
Noble, 56, previously ran unsuccessfully for Cincinnati mayor in 2005, receiving 121 votes; and for Congress in Washington, D.C., in 2010, receiving 785 votes.
Additionally, she was a candidate for U.S. president in 2004 and 2008, ran for mayor in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, and ran for Los Angeles City Council, according to Project Vote Smart.
Following a long battle with cancer, former Cincinnati City Councilman and Vice Mayor David Crowley passed away early this morning.
Crowley, 73, had struggled with the illness since leaving City Council in 2009 due to term limits. After a grueling round of chemotherapy that took a toll on his body, Crowley appeared to have beaten the disease but it recently returned. He is survived by his wife, Sherri, four children and six grandchildren.
Touts Mandel's Ability To Consistently Repeat Previously Debunked Lies: "Us Serial Liars Need To Stick Together"COLUMBUS, OHIO – The Boy Who Cried Wolf announced his endorsement of Josh Mandel today, ending speculation about who the world renowned liar would support in the Ohio senate race this November. "Josh Mandel shares my ideals, my values and most importantly my less-than-casual relationship with the truth," said the Boy Who Cried Wolf. "Us serial liars need to stick together, and now that Josh Mandel's officially been crowned King of Ohio's Liars, the choice for me is simple. I'm honored to support Josh and I look forward to joining him and his special interest friends on the campaign trail as they lie about Sherrod and distort his record on the issues from now through November." The Boy Who Cried Wolf rose to fame for repeatedly proclaiming that his sheep were being attacked by a wolf, when in fact, no wolf had attacked his sheep. Much like the Boy Who Cried Wolf, Josh Mandel's star has risen largely because of his penchant for repeating previously debunked lies. This week Josh Mandel earned the "Pants on Fire crown" from Politifact Ohio, an award reserved for the worst liar among all Ohio politicians. ### Paid for by the Ohio Democratic Party, Chris Redfern, Chairman
UPDATE: Although CityBeat got this list from sources within The Enquirer's Elm Street offices, some bloggers now say James Jackson hasn't been laid off. With no official word forthcoming from The Enquirer or Mr. Jackson, we'll change his status to "unclear."
UPDATE II: Jackson just tweeted the following, circa 10:30 p.m. "In this economy, these are tough times for all, and I'm so sad about friends losing their jobs, equally grateful also still to have mine."
With Republican support and Democratic opposition, the Ohio House Finance Committee approved a budget bill today that would ban comprehensive sex education, defund Planned Parenthood and fund crisis pregnancy centers that pro-choice groups call "anti-choice."
Citing the possibility of "gateway sexual activity," the bill would make it so teachers can be fined up to $5,000 if they explain the use of condoms and other forms of birth control to high school students. It would also prohibit individuals and groups from distributing birth control on school grounds.
The bill pushes abstinence-only education to curtail any promotion, implicit or explicit, of gateway sexual activity. To define such activity, the bill cites Ohio's criminal code definition for "sexual contact," which is defined as "any touching of an erogenous zone of another, including without limitation the thigh, genitals, buttock, pubic region, or, if the person is a female, a breast."
The bill would also redirect federal funding to defund Planned Parenthood and shift funds to crisis pregnancy centers, which CityBeat covered in further detail here.
"Today the Ohio House Finance Committee voted to send our state back to the 1950s," said Kellie Copeland, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio, in a statement. "The Ohio House is doing everything they can to restrict access to reproductive health care and medically accurate information that help Ohioans live healthy lives. (Gov. John) Kasich can stop these dangerous attacks on women's health care. We need him to speak out against these budget provisions and to line-item veto these dangerous measures when they reach his desk."
Researchers have found abstinence-only programs to be generally ineffective. A 2007 study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health found abstinence-only programs have no impact on rates for teenage pregnancy or vaginal intercourse, while comprehensive programs that include birth control education reduce rates.
A 2011 study from researchers at the University of Georgia that looked at data from 48 states concurred abstinence-only programs do not reduce the rate of teenage pregnancy. The study indicated states with the lowest teenage pregnancy rates tend to have the most comprehensive sex and HIV education programs.
When looking at three ways to prevent unintended pregnancies for a 2012 study, the Brookings Center on Children and Families found the most cost-effective policy was to increase funding for family planning services through the Medicaid program. In other words, if governments increased spending on birth control programs, they would eventually save money.
Still, a 2010 study from a University of Pennsylvania researcher found abstinence-only education programs may delay sexual activity. The study, which tracked black middle school students over two years, found students in an abstinence-only program had lower rates of sexual activity than students in the comprehensive program.
At hearings on April 12, anti-abortion groups praised abstinence-only education for promoting chastity.
The Cincinnati Enquirer and its parent company Gannett went through another string of layoffs today, including the reported closing of the newspaper's Kentucky office.
[CityBeat followed up on this story on Aug. 2 here.]
Jim Romenesko reported on his journalism industry blog that there were layoffs at The Kentucky Enquirer, the Kentucky edition of the local newspaper. One commenter on Gannett Blog echoed the report, saying the Kentucky offices had been closed down and moved to Cincinnati.
Gannett Blog reports 11 layoffs at Cincinnati branches, including the Community Press and Community Recorder. That coincides with more than 150 layoffs at newspapers around the country, according to the blog.
Because of Gannett's secrecy with staffing issues, it's difficult to confirm any specific report. No names have been provided yet.
CityBeat was tipped off about the layoffs earlier in the day by a source close to The Enquirer.
A spokesperson wasn't available for questions about the layoffs, but Jeremy Gaines, vice president of communications at Gannett, told Romenesko, "Some USCP (U.S. Community Publishing) sites are making cuts to align their business plans with local market conditions."
Gannett CEO Gracia Martore proudly claimed on July 22, "We are accelerating our transformation into the 'New Gannett' every day."
CityBeat doesn't like to revel in anyone's misery or misfortune. Sometimes, though, there's a confluence between a person's political philosophy and subsequent events that begs for attention and analysis. One such instance is the foreclosure and impending sale of the house owned by an anti-tax leader.

Former Sac Capital money manager Ping Jiang is producing solid results so far this year. The Ping Exceptional Value Fund gained 3.86% in March bringing its year-to-date results to 10.82%, according to figures obtained by Dealbreaker.com.
The Exceptional Value Fund, which had $155 million in assets under management as of Dec. 2010, returned 105% last year and 193% in 2009.
The global macro hedge fund was launched in April of 2008 with approximately $15 million in assets under management. Ping, along with his former Sac colleagues and co-founders of Ping Capital--Ambrose Paxson and Justin Jiang--focus on emerging markets, specifically Asia and Latin America.
In January, Ping Capital Management launched its second vehicle, the Emerging Markets Macro Fund. That fund differs from the firm's maiden vehicle by targeting a lower volatility and focusing more on short-term trading.

Northern Soldiers, Race, and the Crater
I am really enjoying the opportunity to go back and review the letters and diaries of white Northern soldiers who fought at the Crater.

In this post I want to share a couple soldier accounts from the battle and solicit some feedback. Continue reading →

Viral Matrix
Viral matrix really needs to be addressed, Currently the only thing removes viral matrix once its on you is attack pattern omega, unless someone else happends to put science team on you. You cannot use science team to get out of it because your whole bar is grey, even if you put science team on your ship b4 viral matrix goes off, it still doesn't stop it. So unless your in an escort you cannot get it off yourself.
It is being looked at.
Viral Matrix is fine. Play as a team and it shouldn't be that much of an issue, even if Science Team bugs out and doesn't remove it.
see the other post on the front page. that is all
it worked 3 times, and one time it didnt. When i wasnt freed i yelled in speech soft that WTF FREE ME NAU, and he said he mistakenly pushed space before using Science team on me .... Thus meaning he shooted an enemy ship with his guns and used Science team on himself.
I assume the bugged Science team reports are just coz of that or some confuse effect from the enemy side that your target switches and then you just drool klik your talents. (note... klik).
Anywho, Attack Pattern Omega is a nice counter as well. Pity it's on a 1 min timer. It's the only way to remove VM yourself if you're already hit by it.
"Oh no, my teammate just got frozen with VM, I should Science Team him! <uses the ability, but it bugs out> Drat, he's still frozen! Well, at least he gets the resist buff and shield boost. Now I guess I'll need to use Hazard Emitters, Extend Shields, or Engineering Team (after the shared CD is over) on him. Along with that, it would be a good idea to lock out, or at least weaken, some of his attackers with my own Viral Matrix, and/or Subnucleonic Beam, and/or Target Weapons Subsystem, and/or Tractor Beam when they're at an unfavorable angle, and/or Tyken's Rift, etc..."
Would your team be in a better position if Science Team didn't bug? Yes.
Is Viral Matrix an "I win" button like some people claim? No.
Is Viral Matrix unmanageable? Absolutely not (as long as your team isn't worthless - if it is, you have bigger problems than Viral Matrix to deal with).
APO isnt really that great a counter either if im against an escort I hit VM 1 and wait to see if they guy is smart enough to have APO, once he fires APO I cloak and wait for the hold near immunity recourse to wear off then come out of cloak and hit them with VM II. APO is still on cooldown for the target and you have about 15 seconds to wipe him out before he gets APO back again.
Lame tactic, lame game mechanic /blame devs.
Same here. I don't think Science Team is guaranteed to immediately remove debuffs on you. It's a pulse on each tick that has a certain chance. Granted a moderate-high chance, but still has a chance to fail on each pulse. I've had it remove VM so fast, that I didn't even get the pink clouds on me when it hit me. And I've had it hold me for 8-10 seconds before it either ran out or got removed. It's RNG. Not a big deal. There's other, more guaranteed ways to avoid taking dmg in a VM.

brand aspiration
Posted by Abe Sauer on January 13, 2010 04:01 PM
After emerging from bankruptcy for the second time, Polaroid is taking bold steps to recreate its once iconic brand.Speaking at the recent Consumer Electronics Show, Scott Hardy, president of PLR IP Holdings LLC, told BusinessWeek, "The biggest asset Polaroid has developed out of the last 70 years is the brand name itself."After its bankruptcy last year, the company has become an intellectual property holding company. Polaroid now licenses its "biggest asset" to the highest bidder, to be used on a wide range of electronics, from digital cameras to TVs to other minor gadgets. Revenue in 2009 was up 50 percent over 2008.Polaroid, however, is not content to just squeeze the equity out of its brand. The company recently made two moves to bring a little life back. First, it hired singer, performer, and fashion icon Lady GaGa as the brand's creative director. The move will certainly create a buzz with a demographic that has never even seen a classic Polaroid instant camera. Lady GaGa's role is not yet entirely clear but the company says there will be a branded line of Lady GaGa Polaroid devices that "will hit retail shelves starting in late 2010." Speaking of Polaroid's iconic instant camera, the brand plans to bring it back with similar styling and with its classic instant film. The cameras will retail for around $100 and be released in 2010 (lava lamp not included). Headline creating moves on Polaroid's part for sure, but is there any substance for the brand to build on? The occasional Lady GaGa Polaroid commercial and the re-birth of a retro gadget are great exposure, but isn't the brand more defined by the quality of the wide range of products it continues to license? Can a Lady GaGa costume cloak a brand with no real foundation, or is this just a good start?

Richard Karsten says:
GaGa has a shot. I personally know several polaroidosaurs. Aaaah the smell of the chemical reaction, 60 second of anticipation to make a one-of-a-kind image. And that's what makes it special, truly and literally one-of-a-kind. If the House of GaGa can capture THAT magic and make it relevant to the digital age, we'll see a rebirth of an American iconic brand. If GaGa is looking to cash in on her 15 minutes, she'll damage her priceless cache and the polaroidosaurs will go back to hoarding packs of film.

USFRA: More consumers approve of modern agricultural practices
By STEVE BINDER
Illinois Correspondent
CHESTERFIELD, Mo. — A majority of consumers recently surveyed by the U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance (USFRA) say they believe food production is heading in the right direction. A total of 53 percent of consumers surveyed nationally late last year rated food production systems as doing well, an increase of 5 percent over the alliance's previous survey in 2011.
"I am encouraged to see that Americans are becoming more confident in our food supply and that they believe farmers and ranchers are improving," said Bob Stallman, chair of the Missouri-based USFRA. Stallman also is chair and president of the American Farm Bureau Federation. "We are doing something right, but we still have a long way to go in talking with American families and consumers, and answering their questions about food. That's why America's farmers and ranchers are continuing a dialogue with consumers."
To that end, the group's latest award winners as "Faces of Farming and Ranching" this year will take part in a national campaign to improve communication between producers and consumers.
A total of 1,250 consumers nationally, with an additional 236 consumers in New York City alone, took part in the latest survey. Among some of the other key findings:
•That 27 percent of consumers are often confused about the food they are buying. The percentage was highest, at 38 percent, among people aged 18-29.
•That three out of every five consumers want to know more about how food is grown and raised, but they believe they don't have the time to make it a priority.
•That a solid majority, 84 percent, of respondents believe farmers and ranchers are committed to improving how food is grown and raised.
Of the 501 farmers and ranchers surveyed, some of the key findings were:
•That 75 percent believe the average consumer has little or no knowledge about food production in the United States.
•That nearly three out of five farmers and ranchers believe consumers have an inaccurate perception of modern agriculture.
•That 42 percent of farmers and ranchers want to see more emphasis on sustainability and the environment, and that 36 percent want more transparency with consumers and customers.
Despite the increase by consumers in the belief that production systems are on the right track, there remains a disconnect with farmers and consumers. A total of 51 percent of farmers and ranchers surveyed said they would like to see more communication with consumers and customers, while 50 percent of consumers said they believe farmers are missing in media conversations about food.
Also, while 75 percent of farmers and ranchers said they believe the average consumer has little or no knowledge about food production, about 53 percent of all Americans have not visited a farm or ranch.

SUMMERSIDE ã Even ãElvisã is a Coronation Street fan.
© Nancy MacPhee/Journal Pioneer
Coronation Street stars, Alan Halsall (left) and Andy Whyment on stage during Thursdayãs event at Harbourfront Theatre.
Thane Dunn, a well-known Moncton-based Elvis impersonator, and wife, Melly, a transplanted Brit and lifelong Corrie fan, were among the more than 400 people that packed Harbourfront Theatre for an interactive evening with two of the shows stars.
Alan Halsall, and Andy Whyment, better known to fans as soft hearted mechanic Tyrone Dobbs and simple but loveable nicker factory worker Kirk Sullivan, stopped in Summerside Thursday night as part of their Canadian tour.
ãItãs one of those shows that sucks you in,ã said Thane. ãYou get enthralled with the characters and you actually feel like you know them.ã
Melly canãt remember a time when she didnãt watch ãthe Streetã.
ãI watched it since I was born. My mom and dad always liked it so I always watched it,ã said the Newcastle native. ãItãs huge.ã
The evening, hosted by staunch Corrie fan, the colourful flower shop owner, TV personality and writer, Neville MacKay, was filled with stories from the pairãs collective 27 years on the Street and even a few hints about upcoming storylines.
It was the second time in six months that stars of the worldãs longest running television drama were in the city for a behind-the-scenes intimate and interactive look into the famed show.
Halsall, a 14-year Coronation Street veteran, is currently in one of the most talked about storylines to be played out on the famed cobbles.
ãTyroneã is the victim of domestic abuse at the hands of partner, ãKirstyã, who is played by Natalie Gumede.
ãHeãs under her thumb,ã said Melly, a self-proclaimed Kirsty hater. ãThey need to make the storyline more dramatic. There should be some type of murder, but not Tyrone. Donãt kill him off but maybe her.ã
Halsall spoke about the dramatic storyline and Gumedeãs portrayal the ex-copper with a very short fuse.
ãAs an actor this has been, by far, the best storyline Iãve been involved with,ã said Halsall, adding the fact that ãKirstyã is so hated by Corrie fans is a testament to Gumedeãs abilities as an actress. ãShe (Gumede) is one of the sweetest girls I have ever met. We get along really, really well.ã
When it comes to the storyline, he said this: ãIt kind of comes into a climax. I canãt say too much. Weãve got a lot going on.ã
Whyment has portrayed Kirk, the simple sap who is as unlucky in love as he is in holding down a job, for 13 years.
His current storyline has him paired up with Underworld seamstress, the loud-mouthed and brash, Beth, played by Lisa George.
ãShe is a great girl,ã Whyment said of George. ãWhen (character) Janice left the factory I think they really missed that gobby character.ã
When asked where he sees Kirk in 10 years, Whyment said he hopes Kirk will still be on the Street and married, hopefully, to Beth.
Halsall hopes in 10 years Tyrone would finally be happy.
ãI think to go six months without crying would be great,ã he added with a laugh.
The actors said they hold some similarities to their characters.
Whyment described Halsall as kind hearted and genuine, much like Tyrone, and Halsall described Whyment as ãvery honest guyã who ãwears his heart on his sleeveã and ãslightly brighterã than Kirk.
ãWe see each other like brothers,ã added Whyment. ãWeãre just normal guys.ã
But, quipped Halsall, when it comes to cars (Tyrone is a mechanic), heãs clueless.
They also spoke of their favourite Corrie characters and actors, how they got into acting and of Halsallãs behind-the-scenes pranks.
The second half of the show consisted of audience members asking the actors questions, from what exactly is in all those ãpintsã they drink at the Roverãs Return to what female characters on the street they would like to hook up with.
Afterwards, the pair spent an hour posing for pictures and signing autographs.
ãIt was awesome. It was so great,ã said Lana Chaisson, who travelled from Souris with friend Martina Cheverie for the show.
Chaisson posed for a photo with the actors holding a sign saying, ãItãs my birthday.ã
ãIt was absolutely fantastic,ã said Cheverie, who along with Chaisson, in true British style donned a fascinator to meet the British television stars. ãCoronation Street is my life. I was proposed to while it was on. I asked him to pause it because I wanted to watch Coronation Street.ã

In a recent thread about pumps I posted that I was experimenting with peristaltic pumps to dispense UV cure encapsulant. We have no moved on to syringe pumps. These devices move a syringe a pre-programmed distance and therefore can dispense an accurate amount of fluid.
The clever bit is coupling it with a double check valve so that pushing the plunger in dispenses and pulling the plunger out fills the syringe from a supply tank.

Robert Llewellyn to star in Kickstarter-funded British sitcom
It has been announced today that the first British sitcom project has been successfully financed via the Kickstarter crowd funding website.
Kickstarter, a website via which fans can pledge money towards a project they want to see made, has been running in America for a number of years, successfully finding funding for various technological and creative projects. The website launched to UK creators on 31st October, and less than a month later the first British sitcom has emerged fully-funded.
A Brief History Of Time Travel is an audio series based around three people stuck in the past with a broken time machine. It will follow the adventures of Eric Street, a time-displaced accountant; Miles Wanderlust, a mad inventor; and Nina Seventeen, the special agent tasked with bringing them to temporal justice.
Created by James Hunt and Seb Patrick, the six 30-minute episodes will now go into production as the project has passed £4,000. At the time of writing 109 people have pledged an average of £37 towards the project.
The audio shows are expected to be ready by August 2013, at which point they'll be made available to the public to buy. Those that have pledged £1 via Kickstarter will receive the first episode, whilst those that have pledged £5 or more will receive the whole series at no additional cost.
Robert Llewellyn (pictured), well known to sci-fi comedy fans as mechanoid Kryten in Red Dwarf, will narrate the show.
The creators say: "Following a tradition set by British sci-fi sitcoms Red Dwarf and The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, the series sees the characters thrown into a new period each week as they attempt to get home without damaging the timeline."
James Hunt says: "We're genuinely flattered that so many people have already taken a chance on bringing our idea to life, and obviously it doesn't hurt that the very generous Robert Llewellyn agreed to appear. Red Dwarf is definitely one of our primary influences on this project, so we feel unbelievably lucky to have such a direct connection to it."
Seb Patrick adds: "If people are interested in listening to the show then they can still pledge on the Kickstarter page before the shutters come down on November 30th and production begins. All the money is going into the production - James and I are working for free on this because we really believe in the project.
"The series will be available to buy eventually, but all Kickstarter backers will get a free, exclusive prequel episode as well as the opportunity to pledge for other, more tangible rewards, such as a script-book or even a producer credit."
The show's Kickstarter page explains more about the aims of A Brief History Of Time Travel and what fans will get if they pledge money. It also features 'Case File' images giving an overview of the plot and characters.
Below is a five minute audio trailer Hunt and Patrick have produced to give an idea of what A Brief History Of Time Travel will sound like:
BBC radio stations have, until recently, been almost exclusively responsible for original British audio comedy programmes. However, the Kickstarter funding news comes on the same day that Rik Mayall has released a new audio comedy, The Last Hurrah, as an online download.
A number of British comedy projects are now being added to Kickstarter. Others current seeking funding on the site include The Fitzroy, an ambitious live action, black comedy feature-film set in an alternative post-apocalyptic 1950s on a submarine hotel; and The Barstewards, a late-night animated sitcom based around a family who have taken over a bar at a seaside town.

Franklin and Oak Creek police are investigating break-ins at two stores on 27th Street that occurred over Labor Day weekend.
According to the Franklin police report:
The front door window at The Salvation Army Family Store, 6341 S. 27th St., was smashed out and a black metal safe was stolen from the business between 9:30 p.m. Aug. 31 and 8:30 a.m. Sept. 2. The safe contained about $450, cash drawers and business paperwork belonging to The Salvation Army.
Franklin police believe the burglary might be related to a break-in that occurred at Aldi's, 6810 S. 27th St., during the same timeframe.
In the break-in at Aldi's, video from a security camera shows a male smashing a front window about 10:10 p.m. Sept. 1. He walks away from the building in a northwest direction, but returns to the business at 1:15 a.m. wearing different clothing.
Police believe the man changed clothes due to a large amount of blood that was found outside the store office window. According to police, he did not steal anything during the Aldi's break-in.
Police from both departments are collecting evidence and reviewing the surveillance video in an attempt to identify the man.
