Grace and Trip from Façade |
Interviews: "Beyond Space Invaders" (October 3, 2006)
Jonathan Rauch, author of "Sex, Lies, and Video Games," talks about a new generation of innovative and emotionally complex video games.
Michael Mateas is the sort of person who once built an artificially intelligent(ish) robot houseplant that monitored your e-mail and changed shape to reflect the mood of what it read—if that sort of person can be said to be a sort. This was in 1998, when Mateas was a doctoral student with some avant-garde ideas. Office Plant #1, as the creation was called, grew and shrank and blossomed and hibernated and waved its piano-wire fronds as it "fed" off e-mail traffic. Naturally, it also whistled, sang, moaned, and complained. Not long after building Office Plant #1, however, Mateas set it aside. He became interested in bigger things, like creating a new art form.
Meanwhile, Andrew Stern, a programmer and designer at a now-defunct video-game studio, was building artificially intelligent(ish) virtual pets. They were called Petz, and for a while they were a hit in the video-game industry. First came Dogz, in 1995, then Catz, and eventually Babyz, all adorable animated creatures that lived on your computer's hard drive. As Stern worked on making the virtual creatures emotionally appealing and realistic to play with, he began giving them artificial minds: goals, personalities, memories. It dawned on him that he wanted to work with adult characters in lifelike relationships. He became interested in bigger things, like creating a new art form.
Not long after Petz debuted, Stern began attending some of the same conferences on artificial intelligence that Mateas haunted. It was probably inevitable that Stern, presenting his intelligent(ish) virtual pets, would run into Mateas, presenting his intelligent(ish) robot plant. It didn't take long for them to recognize each other as kindred spirits.
In certain rarefied circles of AI academia and video-game design, people sometimes theorize about a computer program that would combine the graphical realism of a modern video game with the emotional impact of great art. "Interactive drama," the concept is called. It might contain artificial people you could converse with, get to know, and love or hate. It might engineer dramatic situations, complete with revelations and reversals. Entering this world, you would feel as if you had been thrust into the midst of a soap opera or a reality-TV show.
"I had some idea how to do it," Stern says. Mateas, for his part, had dreamed since childhood of building artificial humans. It occurred to him that he could advance his dream by building artificial actors. What better way to teach a computer to act human, after all, than by teaching it to act?
In 1998, emerging from a hot tub at a conference in Snowbird, Utah, Mateas and Stern decided to collaborate. "As Andrew and I talked," Mateas recalls, "we sort of egged each other on to jump as far out of the mainstream as possible." They resolved to create a game that would put a not in front of every convention of today's video-game industry. They looked upon their game as a research project and figured that building it would take two years. It took more than five. Now they are starting on a larger version, this time a commercial game.
They think interactive drama has the potential to be to this century what cinema was to the last. When I spent a couple of days getting to know them recently, I asked why they're not trying something more modest, such as making the characters in today's video games more lifelike. "That's a sort of incremental innovation that I think neither of us is interested in," Mateas replied. "We're interested in revolutionary innovation."

Readers who have never lived or worked in South Africa (visiting as a tourist doesn't count) will not appreciate the labour challenges industry faces here. Firstly both the trade union federation COSATU and the ANC govt. view industry as the enemy of labour. This has led to labour legislation that is so draconian that businesses do their best to avoid hiring of labour. This is the reverse of what should happen in a country with an official unemployment rate of 25% - most of us believe that 45% is closer to the truth. To make matters worse COSATU unions have for the best part of the last decade demanded (and most often got) wage increases well above inflation - e.g. demanding 15% increase when inflation is 5%. This has caused labour costs to rocket, while the protracted strikes (if you are asking 3 times inflation of course it's going to be protracted) have cost industry dearly in lost production.
Workers in the platinum sector are among the best paid in SA - top quartile for their skills level, and Lonmin was right there. So the wage level wasn't the cause of this disaster - IMHO it had 2 main causes;
1. Many of these workers come from the Eastern Cape, more than 1000Kms from Marikana - they are effectively migrant labour. Most support extended families back home, and to send back as much money as possible they live in shanty towns near the mines - this is analagous to Asian workers working in squalid conditions abroad so as to be able to send money to their families back home. As a result many of these miners subsist on the bare minimum and then complain that they are being underpaid. This is the choice of the workers, not the employer.
2. NUM, the trade union which concluded a 2 year wage deal with Lonmin was un-responsive when a group of about 3000 workers who were in dire straits asked for help. They had good reasons for not being able to help - NUM had worked hard to get the employer to sign a 2 year wage deal. Now you can't just unilaterlly decide to scrap an agreed wage deal 1/2 way through because 12% of the workers can't manage their finances. So the miners went to a break-away union called AMCU - AMCU is challenging NUM for members so of course they said they could help - the wildcat strike resulted. (AMCU is excluded from wage negotiations because NUM has over 50% membership so they freeze out the smaller unions. This is not Lonmin's decision - COSATU put this rule in place).
So to cut a very long story short, the breakaway AMCU used COSATU's tactics of a violent strike to force Lonmin to roll over and award a crazy increase while a negotiated 2 wage agreement is in force. This is madness and will cause massive problems in the industry - in fact it has already started. And just for info., the half-yearly profit that Lonmin made (a measly $14 million) has been completely wiped out by the R192 million payout made to the murderous rabble plus 21000 other workers. 1200 jobs have been lost as a direct result of this strike, plus a Lonmin development has been halted. Lonmin is now runing at a loss and the whole PGM industry in SA faces a crisis.
IMHO Lonmin are guilty of dereliction of duty in how they handled the strike but trust me they are not guilty of underpaying or abusing their workers.

Product Overview
These wedges designed by master craftsman Roger Cleveland produce maximum spin and versatility for the short game while providing tour-level feel from soft forged carbon steel.
- Aggressively-sized Mack Daddy® Grooves are designed at the maximum conforming depth and width for shot-stopping spin and control that allows golfers to take aim at the hole.
- The C-Grind® relieves the heel, toe and trailing edge, resulting in a 'C' shape on the sole. The shape, plus a tighter heel-toe radius and proper bounce, improves turf interaction and enables golfers to lay the face open while keeping the leading edge down.
- The forged 1020 carbon steel allows for better feel and feedback around the greens. The Triple Net Forging process produces incredible consistency in construction.
- Each wedge is available in Dark Vintage finish. Golfers can also choose steel or graphite shafts.

I hope the GUI version will work out of the box?
Phoronix: A Few PTS Desktop Live 2009.4 Details
With Phoronix Test Suite 2.2 now in beta and this update offering a nice set of features with the official release landing in late November or December (chances are the third week of November), it's time to start talking about the PTS Desktop Live update. PTS Desktop Live, the Linux distribution that we designed to carry out automated Linux benchmarking from a LiveDVD environment that launched in conjunction with Phoronix Test Suite 2.0, will receive its first update shortly. We haven't talked much about this update yet as it's still undergoing extensive work and design, but obviously it will be shipping with Phoronix Test Suite 2.2 "Bardu" for its testing framework...
I hope the GUI version will work out of the box?
The GUI version should always work out of the box with PTS Desktop Live... It does right now with 2009.3 and will with 2009.4. The GUI is used by default there.
I think using the BFS scheduler is a bad idea: testing should be done with what users have/will have in the next round of distro updates, not with an experimental scheduler that might skew the results by improving some benchmarks and penalizing others, and that doesn't mirror what 99,9999999999% users will see.
It should automatically show up when running "phoronix-test-suite gui", except for a few distributions that don't compile php-gtk with GtkStatusIcon support.
Or if you are talking about those libnotify notifications, you can do that on any system without php-gtk by adding gui_gtk_events (I think that's what it's called in 2.0) to your LoadModules tag in ~/.phoronix-test-suite/user-config.xml
Will 2009.4 also be around 1gbit? I have like loads of 700mb cd's laying around that i'm not using for anything. Burning random liveCD's is great fun for it
I know you are dependant on ubuntu, but wasting a dvd is kinda wastefull. And since my biggest USB stick is only 1GB it would be my only option.
Also, I've noticed the 2009.3 iso name was x86_64, meaning it'll only run on 64 bit CPU's? my IBM T42 may be ancient, but it still is very sweet (to me anyway) so are there any plans for a 32bit version?
It's highly unlikely that PTS Desktop Live will ever fit on a CD, right now the thinking is that 2009.4 will be about 1.2GB in size.
Right now only x86_64 systems are targeted and it is unlikely that the desktop version will ever see 32-bit support. Though PTS Mobile Live would have 32-bit support.
Does anyone know where to get php-gtk packages for Debian and Ubuntu? I'm unable to use the GUI interface because of that problem (Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic).
64-bit PHP5-GTK for Ubuntu: http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/m....1-0_amd64.deb
You will also need to add "extension=php_gtk2.so" to your /etc/php5/cli/php.ini after installing the package.

Comments about OSIM uDivine S Massage Chair:
I have sat in massage chairs over the years but not until I tried this model that my son had purchased did I think any were worth the cost and fitting into our home. We had a small group of friends over and they all took a 15 minute massage, one couple ordered one the next day, and one is planning to next week,the next is checking if they have the space. They all rated it 5-Star!!

Comments about OSIM uDivine S Massage Chair:
I don't like writing reviews but this chair deserves a review! It took me about two years to finally splurge on this expensive as heck chair, as a newlywed I wanted this chair just because I stress too easily and get back pain, it was too expensive, we didn't get it. 2 years later and now a new mom to a 7 month old baby, working full time and exclusively pumping and breastfeeding, I am exhausted and have knots on my back every single day, my back is on fire! I don't like massage places that is just not for me, way out of my comfort zone so I walked into brookstone determined to try out and possibly buy a chair. I asked the sales lady which chair has more sales, she asked me what did I need it for, after explaining she suggested this one, but I had noticed the other chair there had more reviews. I tried both and liked this chairs massage better, but the other one had zero gravity and that was pretty cool! I went with my guts and since this massage was tougher I got the chair!
I'm 5'3 and weight 118, sitting upright on chair my legs cannot reach the foot massager properly but i still use it. if I recline then I just cannot use the foot massager at all. I don't mind this too much, it fits my husband great I believe he is 5'7. Foot massage is awesome, it has airbags that squeeze you perfectly, it has kneading and vibrating. Hand massage is ok, it has airbags that pretty much just squeeze your hands, I completely avoid this sometimes since trying to keep my arms in the pockets takes away from sitting comfortably. Now the good part, back massage is amazing, it has kneading, tapping and vibrating that turns aggressive if you put it in the highest setting, out of many settings that it has I love the deep tissue and neck and shoulder setting, for very strong massage I use the manual setting that I already have set up. The rollers will do your neck if you position yourself correctly and if you adjust the shoulder detection correctly. The best thing of this chair is that if you remove the back paddings it will loosen and break your knots! It is extremely hardcore massage, no joke this chair will beat you up and I love it! I have been using it without the padding lately because I suffer from stress/muscle knots, 10 minutes on this chair and I'm good to go. I have my settings on high for lower back and medium for upper, and it is just perfect, it feels even since the lower back massage tends to be a little weaker for some reason. The airbags on the upper arms and on the butt work together to raise and squeeze you at the same time, they are also used for the stretch setting which my husband loves. Like I said if you want a really strong, tough massage this is it!

Phoronix: Help Out Compiz By Testing Their 0.9 Version
Back in March we reported that the release of Compiz 0.9 was finally approaching. The Compiz 0.9.x branch is still developing, but now there is a call-out for testing of this newest compositing manager code by the community...
Window managers, and especially compositors, have a real impact on graphics performance... I wonder if Michael is up for doing a Phoronix Benchmark suite run for various WM/compositors...
something like Metacity(gnome), KWin(KDE), Mutter (gnome), XFCE (both with and without compositing?), Compiz (old and new?)
all on the same OS (I suspect ubuntu or fedora have most of these built into the OS already)
If they want help at testing, they could at least build easy to install packages for major Linux distros.
PPA anyone?
still waiting for live ebuilds ...
PPAs, Debs, RPMs, EBuilds etc are all coming soon. I believe there is already an Arch AUR. Currently, I am trying to get cpack to work so I can build rpms.

How to select Ceiling Fan Controls
If you don't have an air-conditioner installed in a room and are aiming for a more affordable and nature-friendly cooling option, a ceiling fan is a cost-efficient device that can help you survive those hot summer days and nights. No matter how powerful and efficient your fan is, if you can't control its speed or operation modes, you will spend as much energy and money as you would with an air-conditioner. This article will help you select the ceiling fan control that will suit your device the most.
First of all, you need to know the different types of controls that exist today and their main differences. The oldest and least comfortable ceiling fan control is a chain that hangs from the device. To turn your fan on or off you need to come in direct contact with the fan. This type of ceiling fan control is only convenient when the device is installed above your head, which is a rarity.
Another ceiling fan control is a wall mounted type. This control is way more convenient and efficient. In addition to switching the fan ON and OFF, it allows programming the device's operation, speed level and even provides an automatic shutdown if needed. Wall mounted ceiling fan controls are a bit more complicated to install and have a higher price but any family with average budget can afford them.
The last and the more advanced control type is a hand-held remote. Such type significantly increases the level of comfort and enjoyment of your fan. In addition to all of the features that a wall mounted control offers, a remote gives you the possibility to control the fan from any location of your house. You don't have to leave the room to set a faster speed or turn the fan off; it can be done with a push of a button. Moreover, remote control provides you with additional modes of operation to select from. For example, you can select a mode for a warm day and a different mode for an extremely hot day without the need of setting the speed manually. As you may have guessed, remote ceiling fan controls are the most expensive among all other types but they worth every cent.
When you have selected a type of the fan control you want, it is time to ensure it is compatible with your ceiling fan. Pay attention to all of the necessary wires or transmitters that are required during installation. If you have no idea what to do with the wires, simply ask a professional to install the controls for you. That way you'll be sure your fan will provide safe and efficient operation.

Personal Info
I graduated from LCU with my BS in Chemistry in 2006. I did undergraduate research under the advisement of Dr. Julie Marshall in the Biochemical Research Laboratory (BRL) and went straight form working in her lab to pursuing my doctorate at Texas Tech University. My research in graduate school focused on the synthesis of new ligands for use in selective extractions of toxic and radioactive metals from aqueous solutions. I graduated with my PhD in Chemistry, with an emphasis in organic chemistry, in December 2010. I was the Organic Chemistry Instructional Laboratory and Safety Coordinator at Texas Tech University from January 2011 – August 2012 and rejoined the LCU family as an assistant professor in August 2012.
A major focus of my work at TTU was on laboratory safety in teaching labs and research labs. Lab safety is now a passion of mine.
I am an active member of the South Plains church of Christ. I also enjoy long distance running. I have completed many marathons (26.2 miles), including the Boston Marathon, and several ultramarathons (any distance over 26.2 miles). I serve as an official at several track meets hosted at Texas Tech and am a member of several local running clubs and associations.

by Tim Sprinkle Not into "do it yourself" car stereo installations? No problem! With a pre-paid InstallCard, you can have your new iPod or MP3 interface adapter installed by any professional who's a member of the InstallCard network — at more than 1,500 locations all across the country. You'll get all the benefits of buying your gear from Crutchfield, plus you'll save time and gain the peace of mind that comes with professional installation. How does it work? Simple. First, enter your zip code to see if there's an InstallCard installer in your area (if you don't see an installer listed, you may wish to call InstallerNet at the number listed below the zip code field. New installers are added to the network frequently, so there may be options available for you that aren't yet listed online). Then, just add this card to your online shopping cart, and proceed through checkout as usual. When you receive the card from us, visit www.installcard.com, enter the unique InstallCard number on the back of the card, and schedule your installation with the local shop. Installation When you arrive for your appointment at your local stereo shop, just hand over the InstallCard, along with the interface you've purchased and your Crutchfield invoice (it will be included in the box with your order), and your installation begins. And you can feel confident about the quality of work — every installer on the InstallerNet Network has at least two years' experience and is MECP (Mobile Electronics Certified Professional) certified. InstallerNet feels so strongly about the expertise of their installers that they will warranty the labor of your installation for the life of your vehicle. What does this card cover? With this InstallCard, a professional will connect your iPod or MP3 interface to your factory or aftermarket car stereo system. Installation includes mounting the base unit and making all of the necessary connections to your system. Be sure to read the Details below to see what's covered. Please call an Advisor at 1-888-955-6000 if you have any questions. Important Note: Install Cards are not eligible for refunds once installation work is performed. If equipment is determined to be defective during the process of the installation or immediately after while still at the install shop the installer will remove and reinstall the equipment at no charge. If the Manufacturer's product becomes defective sometime after the initial installation, and it is determined that the malfunction is not caused by the installation, then the installer will replace the defective unit with a new unit supplied by the customer, and the customer will be responsible for an R&R (removal and reinstallation) charge which will not exceed 50% of the original installation charge. If the customer chooses to remove non-defective equipment (swapping for a different brand, for example), Installer Net will charge for a completely new installation.

Easy Written By Katie, Cville, va on Thursday, June 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very easy to use, much cheaper than the car dealers quotes price for install
InstallCard: iPod®/MP3 Interface Written By Anonymous, newnan, ga on Tuesday, June 28, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My local installer was great. Great bunch of guys.
Outstanding Written By Scott, Wilsonville, OR on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Professional installation in my 2004 Silverad. The dash was opened up in just a few minutes. Installer discussed with me options for placing ipod cable. In my case, a cubby just below radio worked out great. After work was completed, installer demoed product and answered my questions. Couldn't be happier.
Awesome Customer Service Written By Pat, Cherry Hill, NJ on Monday, December 29, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Product purchase was reviewed with online technical support. Product was ordered online and received the following day. Installation was scheduled two days later - over the holidays - taking only the time estimated.
Not perfect, but liveable Written By bikewell, Grand Rapids, MI on Thursday, August 28, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I knew I didn't want to do the install in my Toyota Tacoma, so this was a good alternative. There were 2 knocks to this service. One, when I made the appointment, they said it would be one hour, and it ended up taking almost 3 hours. I did complicate matters by having them install a Sirius radio at the same time, but you would think they would know. Second, the Ipod hookup works great, but when I listen to the Sirius radio, I get a strong mid-tone hum. I took it back the next day, and the installers didn't know how to fix it, except by unplugging the Ipod. Not a perfect solution, but one I can live with.
Anonymous Installer Written By tuber219, Berwyn, PA on Sunday, January 22, 2006 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I recently had the USA SPEC installed in my Volvo using an installer from Installcard. When I picked up the car the check airbag light was on due to something the installer had done. The first thing out of his mouth was that it was like that when he got in the car. Install card claims their installers are experienced but I had to reconfigure the box placement and the playmodes as well as schedule an appointment with the dealer to fix the airbag. Watch out for this network, you don't know who is going to install your device until you've paid for the card.

Please note that this is the Narutopedia's article on the planetary body of the earth. If you are looking for the article on the villages then you should head to Village Hidden under the Moon. |
The moon (月, tsuki) is a planetary body orbiting the world. The moon was created by the first jinchūriki, the Sage of the Six Paths, through his Chibaku Tensei technique. The Sage collected a massive amount of earth to seal the physical remains of the Shinju after he used his Creation of All Things ability to divide its chakra into the nine tailed beasts, and then launched the stone prison into space, thus creating the moon.[1][2]
Madara Uchiha, after awakening the Rinnegan, released the seal placed on the empty vessel of the Ten-Tails and summoned it back to earth.[3]
Madara's ultimate plan, that was later adopted by Obito Uchiha, the Eye of the Moon Plan, involves reviving the Shinju through joining the other tailed beasts, becoming its jinchūriki, and then projecting his Sharingan onto the moon in order to cast his "Infinite Tsukuyomi": a perpetual, world-scale genjutsu cast on every living being on the planet, which will allow both Madara and Obito to control and unite them to create a world with neither war nor hatred, making themselves the rulers of the world.[1]
- Because of the moon's origin and it being the holder of the Shinju's body, tailed beast and subsequently their jinchūriki are effected by it, and much more so during a full moon.
- According to Gaara, Shukaku relishes the opportunity to kill anyone in sight at any time because of its innate rage and blood-lust, but especially so during the full moon.[4]
- In the anime, Fukai, during his time as Gyūki's jinchūriki, noted that he would have trouble sleeping at night, especially during a full moon and at one point was shown to have to suppress a partial manifestation of Gyūki's tail after he had been staring at the full moon. Fukai was also shown to take sleep pills to help with this side-effect of being a jinchūriki.[5]
- During significant events, the colouring of the moon is always red, indicating that during these battles and events that the Naruto Moon is experiencing a lunar eclipse where the moon is passing in the Earth's shadow.

It's been a long time since I've read anything posted here in the "Singles in Recovery" topic. Is it because everyone else out there is in now in a "Relationship in Recovery"? Or is it... "no one dares to share!"
I've heard that some people feel ashamed or "less-than" to talk about being "single in recovery" ... because they think others might think that something is wrong with them. Is that true? If it is... please let me know - so I can start feeling bad about myself!!!

When and how did the universe begin? Why are we here? What is the nature of reality? Is the apparent "grand design" of our universe evidence of a benevolent creator who set things in motion—or does science offer another explanation? In this startling and lavishly illustrated book, Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow present the most recent scientific thinking about these and other abiding mysteries of the universe, in nontechnical language marked by brilliance and simplicity.
According to quantum theory, the cosmos does not have just a single existence or history. The authors explain that we ourselves are the product of quantum fluctuations in the early universe, and show how quantum theory predicts the "multiverse"—the idea that ours is just one of many universes that appeared spontaneously out of nothing, each with different laws of nature. They conclude with a riveting assessment of M-theory, an explanation of the laws governing our universe that is currently the only viable candidate for a "theory of everything": the unified theory that Einstein was looking for, which, if confirmed, would represent the ultimate triumph of human reason.
Excerpted from The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow. Copyright © 2010 by Stephen Hawking. Excerpted by permission of Bantam, a division of Random House LLC. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.
LEONARD MLODINOW received his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the University of California, Berkeley, was an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Max Planck Institute, and was on the faculty of the California Institute of Technology. His previous books include the best sellers Subliminal (winner of the PEN/E. O. Wilson Award), War of the Worldviews (with Deepak Chopra), The Grand Design (with Stephen Hawking), and The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives (aNew York Times Notable Book), as well as Feynman's Rainbow and Euclid's Window. He also wrote for the television series MacGyver and Star Trek: The Next Generation. The Upright Thinkers is on sale from Pantheon in May 2015.
"In this short and sprightly book . . . Hawking and Mlodinow take the reader through a whirlwind tour of fundamental physics and cosmology."—The Wall Street Journal
"Fascinating . . . a wealth of ideas [that] leave us with a clearer understanding of modern physics in all its invigorating complexity."—Los Angeles Times
"The authors bring to the field an anecdotal clarity that is something of a first for this genre. . . . Making science like this interesting is not all that hard; making it accessible is the real trick."—Time
"Provocative pop science, an exploration of the latest thinking about the origins of our universe."—The New York Times
"Introduces the reader to topics at the frontier of theoretical physics . . . more clearly for general readers than I have seen before."—Steven Weinberg, The New York Review of Books

Giant '1,360B' cup bra up for auction
World's largest bra busty enough to cover 2 tennis courts
UPDATED 11:28 PM CDT Oct 24, 2012
The world's largest bra -- a "mega 1,360B" -- is being auctioned off for breast cancer awareness.
Busty enough to cover two tennis courts, the giant pink bra was designed by London sailmaker M. Putt Sailmakers for the Breast Cancer Campaign's "Wear it Pink" day last year, The Huffington Post reported.
Now it -- and the Guinness World Records official certificate -- can be yours.
Bids start at $800.30.
Potential buyers have until Sunday to make offers on the brassiere, which made headlines and turned heads last year when it was hung from the ITV Tower in London.

Charter's search for new CFO over with hiring of Winfrey
Fri, 10/29/2010 - 8:35am
Charter Communications has hired Christopher Winfrey as its chief financial officer, which was a position that had been open since April.
Winfrey, who was also named executive vice president, took over for Kevin Howard. Howard was named interim CFO in July, while Charter conducted a search to replace former CFO Eloise Schmitz, who left the company in April.
Winfrey is now responsible for all of Charter's financial functions, including accounting, financial planning and analysis, tax, and treasury, as well as mergers and acquisitions, capital structure activities and investor relations.
Prior to joining Charter, Winfrey served as chief financial officer and managing director for Unitymedia, Germany's second-largest provider of media and communications services via broadband cable. He also held leadership and finance positions with Cablecom and NTL Europe, assuming a key role in the operational turnaround, triple-play services rollout and capital markets development at these companies over the last decade.
"Chris' experience across different broadband market structures and competitive environments in Europe is a strong complement to Charter's leadership team," said Charter president and CEO Michael Lovett. "He possesses a great depth of industry knowledge and financial expertise that will be invaluable as we position the company for future growth.
"I would also like to extend my gratitude to Kevin Howard, whose commitment to Charter and willingness to act as interim chief financial officer – in addition to his role as chief accounting officer – gave us the flexibility and time to find the right candidate."

Excerpted from The Newlyweds by Nell Freudenberger. Copyright © 2012 by Nell Freudenberger. Excerpted by permission of Vintage, a division of Random House LLC. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.
"A big, complicated portrait of marriage, culture, family, and love. . . . Every minute I was away from this book I was longing to be back in the world she created." —Ann Patchett, author of State of Wonder
"Riveting. [The Newlyweds] succeeds based on Freudenberger's uncanny ability to feel her way inside Amina's skin." —Los Angeles Times
"A delight, one of the easiest book recommendations of the year. . . . The cross-cultural tensions and romance so well drawn here recall the pleasures of Monica Ali's Brick Lane and Helen Simonson's Major Pettigrew's Last Stand. . . . The Newlyweds offers a reading experience redolent of Janeite charms: gentle touches of social satire, subtly drawn characters and dialogue that expresses far more than its polite surface. . . . On either side of the world, making a marriage work demands casting off not just old lovers, but cherished fantasies about who we are. Whether these two alien lovebirds can—or should—do that is the question Freudenberger poses so beguilingly." —The Washington Post
"A marvelous book." —Kiran Desai, author of The Inheritance of Loss
"The relationship between reader and writer is always something of an arranged marriage, in the sense that the reader enters a stranger's sensibility, hoping for the best. Amina and George may have a complicated connection, but Newlyweds is an unambiguous success." —Meg Wolitzer, More
"A genuinely moving story about a woman trying to negotiate two cultures, balancing her parents' expectations with her own aspirations, her ambition and cynical practicality with deeper, more romantic yearnings. . . . Freudenberger demonstrates her assurance as a novelist and her knowledge of the complicated arithmetic of familial love, and the mathematics of romantic passion." —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"Parts of The Newlyweds might be about the learning curve faced by any freshly married couple. . . . Like writers such as Jhumpa Lahiri and Ha Jin, she deftly shows how strange the rituals of suburban America seem to an observant outsider." —The Wall Street Journal
"Freudenberger's central couple are more than well-crafted characters; they shimmer with believability and self-contradicting nuance. . . . Fluid and utterly confident." —Time Out New York
"The Newlyweds is so much more than a 'lost-in-translation' romp: There are soulful depths to the sociology. . . . [A] luscious and intelligent novel that will stick with you. . . . Freudenberger keeps the wonderfulness coming." —Maureen Corrigan, NPR
"Freudenberger brings impressive attributes to bear in [The Newlyweds]: a powerful sense of empathy, of being able to imagine what it is to be someone else, to feel what someone else feels; an effective writing style that avoids drawing attention to itself; and an international sensibility, which allows her to write about places outside America not as peripheral—mere playgrounds for American characters—but as central to themselves." —The New York Times Book Review
"Once in a while, you come across a novel with characters so rich and nuanced, and situations so pitch-perfect, that you forget you're reading fiction. The Newlyweds is that sort of novel. I was floored by it—captivated from beginning to end. And now that I'm done, I can't stop thinking about it." —J. Courtney Sullivan, author of Maine
"That Amina and George manage to muddle though the first years of marriage is a testament to the power of love and respect; that we care about them all the way through says as much about Freudenberger's keen observations and generous heart." —O, The Oprah Magazine
"The Newlyweds crosses continents, cultures and generations. . . . It's funny, gracefully written and full of loneliness and yearning. It's also a candid, recognizable story about love—the real-life kind, which is often hard and sustained by hope, kindness, and pure effort." —USA Today
"Freudenberger draws women's complex lives as brilliantly as Austen or Wharton or Woolf, and, with The Newlyweds, has given a performance of beauty and grace." —Andrew Sean Greer, author of The Story of a Marriage
"Rich, wise, bighearted. . . . Freudenberger works with care and respect, giving a full voice to every Deshi aunt, American cousin, and passing employee at the Starbucks where Amina finds a job. Freudenberger moves gracefully between South Asian fantasies of American life and the realities of bone-cold, snow-prone upstate New York—and turns the coming together of newlyweds Amina and George into a readers' banquet." —Entertainment Weekly, Grade: A
"A true triumph." —The New York Observer
"Captivating. . . . This engaging story, with its page after page of effortless prose, ultimately offers up a deeper narrative." —The Boston Globe
"Wise, timely, ripe with humor and complexity, The Newlyweds is one of the most believable love stories of our young century."—Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story
"Amina's determination, intelligence, and resilience make her a heroine for any culture and any time." —Marie Claire
"Exceptional . . . Here is an honest depiction of life as most people actually live it: Americans and Asians, Christians and Muslims, liberals and conservatives. Freudenberger writes with a cultural fluency that is remarkable and in a prose that is clean, intelligent, and very witty." —David Bezmozgis, author of The Free World
1. Amina thinks, "Their courtship had more in common with her grandparents'—which had been arranged through a professional matchmaker in their village—than with her parents', who'd had a love marriage" (p. 28). Are there fundamental differences between finding a partner on the Internet and traditional matchmaking methods? What might make a traditional arranged marriage or one made online appealing to men and women in the twenty-first century?
2. What does Amina and George's online correspondence reveal about their respective personalities and expectations? In what ways are they well suited to each other despite their different backgrounds? What do their decisions to seek a spouse online indicate about their approaches to and ideas about marriage? How do their personal motivations influence the information they offer—and hold back?
3. "In spite of all the preparation, there was something surprising about actually finding herself in Rochester, waiting for a green card in the mail" (pp. 7–8). What aspects of Amina's new life does she find puzzling, pleasing, or difficult to accept? Consider, for example, the dinner at George's mother's house (p. 18); the wedding preparations and ceremony (pp. 38–40); and her various work experiences. What presents the greatest psychological challenges? What compromises does she make and why?
4. Spurred by "Amina's anxiety about the Muslim ceremony, without which they wouldn't really be married" (p. 34), the couple searches for an imam to marry them. Why does Amina decide against getting married at the Islamic Center of Rochester? What does the decision reflect about the role religion plays in her life? What does it convey about her complicated attachment to her past? How does she reconcile her decision with the promises she made to her parents?
5. "She struggled to find some connection between the girl she so often imagined at home in her parents' apartment and this American wife. . . . The task was made more difficult by the fact that there was no one in Rochester who'd known that past-Munni, and no one back at home who knew the present one" (p. 59). How does this passage capture the isolation and sense of displacement that is often part of the immigrant experience? Are there parallels between Amina's feelings and the feelings of any young wife (or husband) in the early years of marriage?
6. How would you characterize the friendship between Kim and Amina? What does each of them find appealing in the other? Is their relationship built on genuine affection or on false premises and selfish interests?
7. How do Kim's experiences in India (pp. 122–26) and her life with Ashok in post-9/11 New York (p. 151–55) relate to the themes of the novel? What do their stories reveal about the effects of cultural and religious prejudices on ordinary people? How do their ordeals compare to Amina's?
8. "She and George didn't disagree very often, but when they did it was always because of 'cultural differences'—a phrase so useful in forestalling arguments that she felt sorry for those couples who couldn't employ it" (p. 66). To what extent are the problems or misunderstandings in their marriage attributable to "cultural differences"? What role do the emotional differences between them play?
9. Is Amina's search of Kim's apartment justifiable (pp. 141–42)? Why doesn't she confront Kim directly? Are the conclusions Amina draws about George's family as clear-cut as she assumes (p. 143)? Is her observation, made in a moment of bitterness—"You might cheat, steal, lie, but if you confessed, you could be instantly forgiven" (p. 147)—a valid assessment of American behavior?
10. What impact does Amina's discovery about George's past have on the dynamics of their marriage? Does his explanation of his deception (pp. 148–49) and his subsequent behavior (pp. 156–57) change your feelings about him? In light of his confession, are Amina's demands reasonable, or do they amount to emotional blackmail? Consider her own interpretation: "What a strange thing, she thought, to find out one day that you had built your whole life on a mistake, and the next day to discover that this fact would allow you to have your dearest wish. She wondered if this was a unique predicament, something related to the unusual circumstances of her life, or a more general human condition" (p.156). Discuss your responses to this in terms of the novel and your own experiences.
11. When she arrives in Bangladesh, Amina thinks, "You thought you were the permanent part of your own experience, . . . until you discovered that there were many selves, dissolving into one another" (p. 207). Is Amina's experience unusual, or is this a common reaction to returning home after a long absence?
12. How does Freudenberger bring the atmosphere and social milieu of Bangladesh to life in the narrative? Which details best evoke the emotional pull Amina feels toward her homeland?
13. During a lighthearted flirtation with Nasir, Amina thinks of the past and realizes, "She had the same feelings, sweeter because they'd been dormant for so long, but her wish from that time had been granted: she was a grown woman, with everything she would need to attract a man like Nasir" (pp. 250–51). Why are she and Nasir so drawn to each other? What part does nostalgia, the comfort of the familiar, and the loneliness they experienced—Nasir in London, Amina in America—have in the awakening of their feelings? What do you think would have happened had she chosen to pursue Nasir instead of returning home to George?
14. How do their families' examples, opinions, and advice shape Amina and George's relationship? Compare the influences of various family members (Amina's parents and extended family in Bangladesh; George's mother, Eileen Stillman, and his aunt Cathy and cousin Jessica). What does the novel show about the qualities, good and bad, shared by families from every culture or country?
15. Freudenberger often moves from a scene in Rochester to a past event or conversation in Dhaka. How does this affect the flow of the plot? What does it contribute to your understanding of Amina and the forces and feelings that have shaped her?
16. "She had escaped a broken country, and George a broken heart; they had chosen each other in spite of warnings from both sides. . . . Even if neither of their motives had been pure, wasn't it possible that something pure had come of them now?" (pp. 174–75). Does Amina and George's commitment to each other ever evolve into genuine love? Cite specific moments in the novel to support your point of view.
17. Freudenberger ends the novel with a twist: Amina's "Reach for the Stars" essay, which has actually been composed by Kim for a writing competition sponsored by Starbucks. As Mohsin Hamid noted in his front-cover review of The Newlyweds in The New York Times Book Review (April 29, 2012), this essay has a certain parallel to Freudenberger's own role as author—and it poses a larger question about authenticity and storytelling. What pitfalls might Freudenberger have faced, if any, in writing Amina's story? Do you agree with Hamid's statement that, for fiction "the question of authenticity . . . is a red herring: nationalities, ethnicities, genders and even species do not 'own' the right to fictional narratives spoken in what purport to be their voices"? To what extent is Amina in her new American life crafting a persona different from the "authentic" self she knew at home?

Seems history has taught nothing
Mr. Stuart Lindberg, your letter dated Feb. 9 to the editor of this very left-leaning newspaper was so on the mark. Unfortunately, I fear you are like the lone reed blowing in the wind. Since this paper, more often than not, basically publishes articles and commentary that lean toward left thinking we are not given the opportunity to hear much about how this country is heading toward socialism. Socialism is a word nobody wants to use, referring to what is going on in this Nation of Sheep. However, if anyone is paying attention, like you are, it is becoming clearer that we are very slowly losing our freedoms; as you so well put it, embracing the collectivist ideas ... for the good of society that were the cornerstone of the Soviet Socialist Republic. You can see how this paper and most news media are supporting this trend. It is very frightening, to say the least.
What also bothers me is that those who dont agree with these thoughts, e.g., the likes of Mr. Danziger, cartoonist, as well as many of the folks who lean to the left, find it necessary to call those with opposing views names and make fun of them. Shame on them. I just want you to know that there are probably many more people, like myself, that understand where you are coming from. Thank you for expressing it so well. I also would like to say thanks to all the other folks that have sent letters of this ilk to this paper. I, for one, am paying attention. I only hope that more and more people will pay attention to what is going on in this country and do what they can, where possible (the polls), to turn it around. If not, God help us all.

Tiki Villagers
The world is an old place, and it is within the deep island jungles that the oldest and darkest of its secrets are tended. A tribe of hunters and lorekeepers has protected the wisdom of the earth since its creation, fighting tirelessly against the modern world that claws at their sanctuary. But progress, like water, wears on even the most powerful of structures. It is a battle the tribe is losing. With a solemn decree and a savage war cry, the tribe decided to leave the shelter of their island and take the fight to the bright, plastic world encroaching on their solitude.

Before leaving, the wisest of them, knowing that the strength that was theirs inside the forest would fade as they left its borders, fashioned totems and weapons from the spirit of the jungle. Even the youngest of them knew what a sacrifice the island had made in giving these objects of power to the villagers. It would be defenseless until their return.

The old world had declared war on the new.

Gov't sources: Boston bomb suspect went to Russia
Saturday - 4/20/2013, 6:30pm EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev traveled to Russia last year and returned to the U.S. six months later, government officials told The Associated Press.
Investigators believe that Tsarneaev and his brother Dzhokhar are responsible for the deadly Boston Marathon attack that killed three people and wounded more than 180 others. The 26-year-old Tsarnaev died in a police shootout overnight. Dzhokhar is still being sought.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they couldn't talk publicly about an investigation in progress. Tsarnaev traveled from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, according to one of the officials.
The ethnic Chechen brothers lived in Dagestan, which neighbors the Chechnya region in southern Russia. They lived near Boston and had been in the U.S. for about a decade, one of their uncles said. There are no known ties at this point to Chechen extremist groups, one of the officials said.

That looks really pretty, great cgi very colorful ala Rio
@Wiseguy, I second that and add that it looks like something that both young girls and boys would enjoy as well as adults.
this does look great. a film for the whole fam to enjoy. nice CGI and the little green soldier reminded me of a micro version of loki kinda..
Neat action sequences foiled by stupid one-liners and a VERY obnoxious poorly sung theme song in the background. Still, might be worth a look when it hits netfilx.
At first I was like, oh no a spiderwick chronicals ripoff, but then it got more interesting.
