Social Question
If your life story was being turned into a movie who would play you?
Asked by TheProfoundPorcupine (2541
October 25th, 2012
Early this morning there was an author appearing on breakfast TV and they were chatting about who she thought should be given the role of the lead character in a movie. She thought about how she portrayed the character in her mind, how she looked, how she was built, her mannerism until she came up with an answer, but it got me thinking.
If your life story was being made into a movie who would you like to play you? I do anticipate various people picking stars that they think are beautiful or handsome so try and look beyond that.

CYNTHIA NIXON (Miranda Hobbes) is an Emmy, Tony and Grammy Award-winning actress who has worked across the spectrum of film, television and stage since the age of 12. She recently reprised her award-winning role as Miranda from the successful HBO series, "Sex and the City," in the feature film adaption "Sex and the City," which earned over $415 million worldwide.
Nixon's other recent features include Richard Laxton's "An Englishman in New York," opposite John Hurt; Derick and Steven Martini's film "Lymelife," starring with Alec Baldwin and Timothy Hutton; "The Babysitters," with John Leguizamo, which premiered at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival; Mark Levin's directorial debut, "Little Manhattan"; and Alex Steyermark's "One Last Thing," which premiered at the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival and was screened at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival.
Nixon began her film career by appearing in Ronald F. Maxwell's "Little Darlings," followed by roles in Sidney Lumet's "Prince of the City," Milos Forman's "Amadeus" and Robert Altman's "O.C. and Stiggs." She transitioned flawlessly to adult roles in Marshall Brickman's "The Manhattan Project." Her additional feature film credits include "Let it Ride," "Addams Family Values," "The Pelican Brief," John Hughes' "Baby's Day Out," "Marvin's Room," "The Out-of-Towners," "Igby Goes Down" and "Advice from a Caterpillar," based on the play by Douglas Carter Beane.
On the small screen, Nixon starred for six seasons as Miranda Hobbes in HBO's "Sex and the City," a role that garnered her an Emmy Award in 2004 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, two other Emmy nominations, and four consecutive Golden Globe nominations. Along with her castmates, Nixon was also honored with the 2001 and 2004 Screen Actors Guild Award® for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.
Nixon also earned a Golden Globe nomination, a SAG Award® nomination and an Emmy nomination for her performance as Eleanor Roosevelt in HBO's "Warm Springs," opposite Kenneth Branagh as Franklin Roosevelt. In 2004, she starred in the miniseries "Tanner on Tanner," directed by Robert Altman and written by Garry Trudeau. Nixon's recent appearance on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" garnered an Emmy Award for Guest Actress in a Drama Series. Her other guest appearances include "House M.D.," "ER" and "Papa's Angels."
Nixon's first professional job was on an ABC Afterschool Special, "Seven Wishes of a Rich Kid," co-starring Butterfly McQueen. Her other telefilm credits include PBS's presentation of Mark Twain's "The Private History of a Campaign That Failed," and American Playhouse productions of Lanford Wilson's "Fifth of July" and Jonathan Marc Sherman's "Women & Wallace."
On stage, Nixon earned a Drama League nomination for the role of Mama in Lisa Loomer's off-Broadway play "Distracted," which was directed by Mark Brokaw for the Roundabout Theatre Company. Prior to that, she performed the title role in "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie." In 2006, she completed a successful run in the Manhattan Theatre Club production of David Lindsay-Abaire's Pulitzer Prize-winning play "Rabbit Hole," which brought her the Tony Award for Best Actress, as well as Drama League and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations. Nixon also performed on Broadway as Mary Haines in the Roundabout's revival of "The Women," which was also broadcast on PBS's "Stage to Screen" series.
At age 14, Nixon won a Theatre World Award for her stage debut as Dinah Lord in Ellis Rabb's production of "The Philadelphia Story" at the Lincoln Center's Vivian Beaumont Theatre. At 15, she was directed by Louis Malle in the title role of John Guare's "Lydie Breeze," in the acclaimed filmmaker's Broadway directing debut. Most impressively, she appeared simultaneously in two Broadway productions at age 18: David Rabe's "Hurlyburly" and Tom Stoppard's "The Real Thing," both directed by Mike Nichols.
In 2009, Nixon was awarded a Spoken Word Grammy for her recording of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth."
Born and raised in New York City, Nixon holds a degree in English literature from Barnard College. She lives in New York City with her fiancée Christine and their two children, Samantha and Charlie.

19 More Must-Attend Halloween Parties in Metro Phoenix
Benjamin Leatherman Celebrating Halloween at last year's Ghostball in Scottsdale.
There are plenty of treats to be had during the Halloween season, and we ain't just referring to all that candy. We happen to be making reference to treats of a more adult-oriented nature, like specialty and themed cocktails, fantastic drink deals, and scads of prizes that are available at all the spooky and stylish parties and events scheduled for this weekend.
See also: Halloween Guide 2013
If you're going to be out celebrating over the next seven days, there are plenty of options all across the Valley to choose from, no matter what your particular interests might be. In fact, there are so many Halloween happenings that we had a bit of difficulty whittling things down to just one list.
So as a way of complimenting our recent list of 13 must-attend shindigs, here's a rundown of 19 more interesting, unusual, and off-the-chain parties to partake in at more than a dozen different locations throughout metro Phoenix.
Benjamin Leatherman Dancing in the foam at Arizona Event Center.
Arizona Event Center
As its name implies, the Foam 'n' Glow dance party on Friday, October 25, will include a shoulder-high sea of bubbles and a nonstop maelstrom of colored lights flowing throughout the two rooms of the Arizona Event Center. Meanwhile, fire-spinners and go-go girls will perform, while college kids and EDM fans will bump their respective rumps and DJs like Hunter Moore, Syrus, and Delux spin high-energy tracks. Doors open at 9 p.m. Pre-sale tickets are $32.50 and day-of-show admission is $40.
Voice Places Westgate's Shout! House location.
The Shout! House
Speaking of affairs that will be lit up like a jack-o-lantern, this Glendale piano bar will be aglow during its Black Light White Out Party on Friday, October 25. Patrons who are dressed in their whitest whites or pay a visit to the "Electric Paint Station" will shine brightly underneath the various UV lights set up around the place. Dueling pianos provide the music and drink specials include $2 Bud Light drafts, $4 Toxic Slime shots, and $5 Electric Bombers. Doors open at 7 p.m. Admission is $5.

(2) Mon Dec 01 2008 13:18 Boycott the Mormons:
The best part about this story is the call for a boycott on Sundance Film Festival. Yes, could we all boycott that since most of the movies are obscene and pornographic? How absurd to "boycott" a religion. It's non-profit. We have beliefs, it's called a Faith. If you don't chose to believe, then don't. Boycott Utah? I'm afraid the majority pop of the state is non-LDS. How ridiculous and small minded. I'm not calling for resignations or flag burning in front of Obama's house since he was elected, and I hope no one does. Why do people need a scapegoat? The majority voted, respect that. Why do people feel the need to pin it on the African Americans or any group for that matter? The state of California put it to a vote, Prop 8 passed.
I am trying to live my life the way I feel is right, by my own conscience and my belief in God. Others are free to do the same. Let's all live within the bounds of the law and be good citizens of our great country that we are lucky to live in.
"Since the people of California voted to reaffirm the sanctity of traditional marriage between a man and a woman on November 4, 2008, places of worship have been targeted by opponents of Proposition 8 with demonstrations and, in some cases, vandalism," the church's First Presidency wrote.
"Attacks on churches and intimidation of people of faith have no place in civil discourse over controversial issues. People of faith have a democratic right to express their views in the public square without fear of reprisal. Efforts to force citizens out of public discussion should be deplored by people of goodwill everywhere."

Park City is the most liberal part of Utah... and Who does that hurt in the end? Actors, Directors, etc. Maybe they should just avoid and boycott anyone who does not have their same beliefs.
Posted by Joe Walch at Mon Dec 08 2008 18:10
They could boycott Obama since he is against Gay Marriage to. It's also funny that some demographics who have suffered most from discrimination (black women, latinos, Catholics, the LDS) overwhelmingly supported Prop 8. So much for the bigotry tag. However, those who voted against Prop 8 were mostly white yuppie 20-somethings who had just enough college to recite the libertine creedo. The minority demographics were somewhat lacking in the 'no on 8' vote. Perhaps it would be a good thing that the Left boycotts Utah (as you've pointed out). I'd like to see all the eastern pub copy cat bars and strip joints go out of business. Perhaps Moab will clean up it's act a little to make room for more family friendly outdoor adventure venues.

Tim Pawletny airing ads in Iowa
Ben reports:
Tim Pawlenty will become the first Republican candidate to launch a major media buy in Iowa.
Pawlenty is going up with ads in the first-in-the-nation caucus state starting tomorrow on Fox News with a buy just under $50,000 in Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, Omaha, Ottumwa, Rochester, and Sioux City.
The ad buy is a sign of the urgency for Pawlenty to generate interest for his candidacy before the end of the second quarter and the run-up to the Ames straw poll in August.
UPDATE: From Pawlenty spokesman Alex Conant, "Governor Pawlenty is well positioned to unite conservatives and do well in both Iowa and New Hampshire. The soon-to-be-unveiled TV ads will introduce the Governor to Iowans about why he is the candidate with the strongest record and best results, not rhetoric."

Allen's projected max (700-850 yds 6 TDs) in the NFL is Hunter's floor.
Who is projecting Allen's max to be 700-850 yds 6 TD's? You say that those numbers are Hunters floor. No, his floor is way lower than that! That's the thing with Patterson, Hunter, and Rodgers, their ceilings are high, but there is a big bust potential with each also. None are as NFL ready as Allen or Hopkins.
So, the question comes down to this; do the Texans want a #2 WR that will replace Walter and is ready to play now, or do they want a #1 WR with a higher ceiling that
be ready to play in a couple of years and replace AJ? My guess is they want the #2 who can play now. We'll see!

Exclusive and Valuable ASCLA Programs:
What is a Consultant, Really?
Gain a better understanding of what library consulting is and the many types. The field of Library Consultant is a growing field in the library profession and a viable career choice not just for retirees anymore. Contract consulting is more popular in this time of tightening budgets allowing libraries to hire project specific library professionals for short or long term projects such as:
- building or remodeling their buildings or
- completing cataloging projects or
- creating software specific to that library or
- creating unique webinars at less cost than expensive "canned" programs and many more.
State libraries and consortia are hiring consultants as permanent staff, offering their services to libraries on a case by case basis. The unique and often complicated definition of consultant is a moving target and this panel discussion will help solidify what this often misunderstood sector of the library profession really is. Ideal for anyone currently consulting or interested in becoming a consultant. Brought to you by the Library Consultants Interest Group, (LCIG).

About this font family
Neuch is a neat typeface for greeting cards, children's books, labels and signs, handmade goodies packaging, and other cheerful designs. Drawn with a sharp-tipped ink pen, the letters kick their legs up and down, stretch out their tails, and hop along gaily, as if not obeying any rules.
The cute characters look like they are one big family—they get into arguments, mix noisily and good-humoredly, push each other, yet always stick together. Neuch can speak several languages and has ligatures, decorative elements, and even a cat and a dog.

Is it just me? Kosher hamburger mystery...
- 9 Comments
- Follow
On many occasions now, both at home and elsewhere, I have noticed that kosher hamburgers often turn egg-shaped (as opposed to round) once they are cooked. Having cooked non-kosher hamburger before, I am convinced that this is only in kosher burgers. Two brands in particular are Teva and ShopRite. Also, at the kosher cafeteria in my school, there has been the same phenomenon. The pre-made patties are perfectly circular before I cook them. Does this happen to you? Why?
Is your cooking technique the same? What about equipment? I am assuming that you are not cooking the kosher meat on the exact same equipment as the treif meat so I have to wonder what you might be doing slightly differently (different cooking temperatures, grilling vs broiling vs frying/searing vs baked in a hot oven, is the meat straight from the fridge or do you let it sit out for bit before cooking?
0 -
Preposterous! And yet, we had the same experience in our restaurant, with Alle 1/4 lb hamburger patties. But we do not have that experience with burger patties we make ourselves. I believe it has to do with grain and texture of the meat. If it is flattened direct from the grinder, and then burgers stamped out, the extrusion is in one direction, and there is a grain to the burger. If it is made into balls and then flattened out, no grain pattern exists across the entire patty, the the thing shrinks almost uniformly. Also, home-made burger patties tend to become thicker in center upon shrinkage. We make a special point to flatten the center of the patty thinner than the edges to achieve a flat patty upon shinkage.
0 -
Certainly not a Kosher-related phenomenon (if a phenomenon at all). There's definitely a "grain" to muscle fibers that would cause differences in final cooked dimensions of a steak (not unlike working with pieces of solid wood), but that would be more evident with whole cuts of meat, once it's ground there's absolutely no rhyme or reason why meat would behave differently in one dimension and not another.
As a totally non-scientific example, my wife made some excellent nearly-perfectly-circular burgers from glatt beef the other night. Perfectly grilled, by the way.
0 -
The pre-made kosher burgers become oval, absolutely. When I make it myself from ground meat, it doesn't happen.
As to vallevin's point, we have friends who cook both treyf and kosher on the same grill and it happens to them as well.
re: DeisCane
It happens to all the pre made patties that comes from the Alle plant- It has to do with the machine that makes the patty - Alle private lables for many stores- check the USDA #
It is a weird thing- the patty starts out round & cooks out oval ??? It's the machine that portions it out0
I have noticed this ONLY with kosher pre-made patties. I have used non-kosher pre-made patties, and this NEVER happened.
re: PotatoPuff
Make a thumbprint in the center of the raw burger. This will eliminate the rounding, treyfe or not treyfe.
re: Marc in Cleveland
Nope, marc. That doesn't work. The thumbprint helps with keeping it from turning into a meatball. This problem is about becoming an oval.

Foxconn rumored to be looking at U.S. production facilities for smartphones
While Foxconn workers assemble a number of different smartphone brands and tablets, it is known mostly for its assembly of the Apple iPhone. Although the Taiwan based contract manufacturer would seem to be well suited to take advantage of the low wages in China, wages in Asia are on the rise and the workforce is not as highly skilled as in the U.S. As for the difference in wages, Foxconn will make up some of the extra cost by using automated production equipment. In addition, only high-end models would be produced in the U.S. with other models confined to production in China.
According to the report, Foxconn is looking to open a pair of factories in the U.S. with one on the East Coast and the other on the West Coast. Foxconn founder and chairman Terry Gou recently met with Arizona Governor Janice Brewer to discuss opening a Foxconn facility in that state. Gou says that the West Coast of the U.S. is too focused on software developers and needs some hardware designers in the area to balance things out.

Yeah, as soon as I saw this I figured that Apple came to them and said "we need to build phones in the US before people start catching on to the Moto X!!!"

Except you know people aren't catching on to the Moto X otherwise there wouldn't be a link to a separate article in this article.

9. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 5599; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
They charge $199 for a phone with specs that don't match the price. Sales are going to be very low. I suspect we'll soon here about the Texas plant closing really soon.
11. Sniggly (Posts: 7230; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
*ahem* They don't charge $199 for the phone anymore, haven't for a couple of weeks at least. Prices have even gone down to 50 bucks or free depending on upgrades/new lines.
And while I can't say that I've seen it flying off shelves, the first one I ever sold was the only one that has ever been returned.
So no, I don't think that the Texas plant will close. I think indeed that this phone will sell better as time goes on.
13. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 5599; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
You're missing the point Sniggly. They did charge $200 for it. Who would pay full price for a phone with last year specs? The prices dropping so low within. 6 months should be proof enough how Moto dropped the ball.
Selling one or two a month isn't impressive. If anything that just shows you how Motorola's game plan is far off .
Not with stiff competition it won't.

Not in the states you won't, there is actually rule of law. Probably have to sign an NDA and what not.
6. joey_sfb (Posts: 3969; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
you miss out on the statement, "using automated production equipment" and their equipment service engineers most likely import from the equipment manufacturers.
I have seem one of this high tech factory, they have a very high machines to human ratio. Nevertheless the US government would benefit from taxes.
3. woodshop20 (Posts: 459; Member since: 14 Sep 2013)
I guess we can now expect a $1500 iPhone. People are gonna need to sell both their kidneys to get one.
7. Finalflash (Posts: 2074; Member since: 23 Jul 2013)
No, that would be a waste, a baby nets more these days according to previous iFan shenanigans.
12. Ninetysix (Posts: 1842; Member since: 08 Oct 2012)
You seem to be under the impression that Apple is the only client of Foxconn. Google search the client list so you don't embarrass yourself.

I think this so that apple can control leaked products before launch.

What Can You Buy With One Day's Worth of Salary?
What Can You Buy With One Day's Worth of Salary?
Do you ever think about how much you make each day and how much that really buys? This post from Beauty and the Budget really got me thinking.
What can you buy with one day's worth of your salary? Right now, I make about $76 a day, before taxes, which really isn't much. That means that on Monday, when I made an after-work Rite-Aid makeup run, I practically worked an entire day for a tiny tube of RoC Eye Cream ($21.99 at Ulta), a small bottle of Olay Total Effects Anti-Aging Moisturizer ($18.69 at Ulta), Maybelline Colossal Mascara ($6.99 at Ulta), and a can of Salon Grafix Invisible Dry Spray Shampoo ($5.99 at Ulta). Plus I bought an Apple Pecan Salad from Wendy's ($6.99) for lunch. All my money was spent in one day. I really wanted to kick myself when I came to that realization. It was like a spiritual financial wakening.
Of course, I believe I invested wisely in a great eye cream and an anti-aging moisturizer (all of which I am hoping will last at least four to five months), but I'm still disappointed that my money disappeared in a day. I could have put that money toward new contact lenses or my next oil change.
On a much lighter note, let's have a little fun with this topic. To make it easy, let's say you make $10 an hour. That's $80 a day for a full 40-hour workweek. You're definitely on a budget at that rate, especially if you're supporting yourself. Let's look at all your spending options, and tell me which item you're most likely to go for!

Please check out our new FAQ page here: http://TrevorSupportCenter.org
feeling a little gay
I guess I should start from the beginning. I never thought about being gay before until 7th grade. I go to boarding school and one day I was sleeping in my friend's room (we'll call her K) so at first me and K were just talking, then I started touching her legs. Next thing I know is we're kissing each others necks. The next day, I was feeling a little weird and confused. But that doesn't stop us from doing it again. This time going even farther. This happened near the end of the school year. So summer came and we talked heavy. Then I told her that I really had feelings for her, but at the same time, I didn't want to be gay. K said she Did too so we went out for a little bit. K is like my best friend and adding a sexual thing to it really makes me feel like I'm not hetero sexual. So now its this year and we were roommates, we were doing sexual things. Then she transfers to a different school and comes out the closet and tells every one that she's gay. sosince she did that I started telling people I was bi. But I don't want to be any of it, I just want to be straight. There are too many problems with being gay. They tray it like its an ailment. Help!
Hi Monica,
I am so glad that you've taken the time to write to us. From your letter, it doesn't seem that you are currently being bullied or harmed in any way, so that is good. If I misunderstood and you are in any danger, please contact someone immediately….a trusted adult, friend, or The Trevor Project. First and foremost, we want to make sure you are safe.
You are at a crazy time in your life now as your body is changing and you are discovering your sexuality…which can be quite confusing at times, especially when we know that there are some people that can make being LGBT difficult.
You didn't mention if you were still seeing K after she transferred to another school. If you are not, that may be playing a part in how you are feeling right now.
In trying to understand your sexuality, it might help to remember that sexual orientation involves emotional, romantic as well as physical feelings and attraction for people of both genders (bisexual), people of the same gender (lesbian and gay), and people of the opposite gender (heterosexual or straight). For many, it takes many years to develop and discover our sexuality. Even adults sometimes need to sort through these feelings. It's perfectly natural. The most important thing to remember as you continue to grow is that you are in complete control of how you identify and there is absolutely no rush to answer these questions. Whether straight, bisexual or gay, we're all the same and we all deserve love and happiness. As you learn about yourself, you may discover that your are gay, bisexual, or straight…and all of them are perfectly ok. Wherever you happen to fall in the spectrum of sexuality, that is exactly where you are supposed to be. You are perfect just the way you are. Please don't let other people's opinions make you feel otherwise. Whatever your sexuality, be proud of who you are. Your sexuality does not define you, it is simply a part of you…..a beautiful, complex human being.
Whomever you choose to love in a romantic way will be lucky and you will be lucky to experience that fantastic feeling.

I was just poking around on Amazon.de and came across their Bone Gold listing...
From what I can tell (which is not much, considering I don't know German), it's received positive user reviews and people seem to like the voice acting. That stood out to me because we've seen some complaints on the Sam & Max forum about the German localizations. I'm just curious if any of our German fans have played Bone Gold and if you'd say it's better localized than Sam & Max Season One (assuming you've also played that).
Also... maybe we can get a little street team thing going to spread the word about the localization? Bone Gold doesn't have nearly the marketing budget that Sam & Max Season One does, so you're not going to see it on any train station walls, but since Sam & Max Season One is getting a lot of attention in Germany right now, it's the perfect time to get people to notice Bone. If you happen to be in a German store and you see both Bone Gold and Sam & Max on the shelf, maybe move the Bone box next to the Sam & Max box so people will notice it? :D
We have some copies of Bone Gold that BHV sent us. I could part with a few if there are German fans who'd like to play them (to see how good the localizations are) and then talk them up on German forums if you think they're good. If you're a German fan and you'd be interested in helping out with this, send me a PM with your address and I'll try to get you a copy.

Rodgers: Suarez saga now resolved
Amy Lawrence explains how the English transfer market has descended into uncertain territory.
Brendan Rodgers insists he is satisfied with how the Luis Suarez saga has been resolved and insists Liverpool are now "looking to the future."
The Uruguay international returned to training with the first-team on Friday having been exiled for more than a week after criticizing the Reds boss, who said his attitude and performances had not been up to standard. Suarez claimed the club had reneged on a deal agreed last summer to allow him to leave if a Champions League club came in for him, with Arsenal having had two bids for him rejected.
"I am satisfied with how everything has been resolved and we as a club are looking to the future," said Rodgers, who refused to confirm whether the player had apologized as he said he would have to in order to be reintegrated. There is nothing to be said there. I won't be saying anything on Luis Suarez and that is only purely out of respect for the (other) players."
Suarez is still suspended for a further six matches for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic in April, but he was at Anfield to see his side win 1-0 against Stoke. His pre-match walk around the pitch's perimeter brought muted applause and not the rapturous welcome he had received when he played in Steven Gerrard's testimonial a fortnight ago at Anfield.
"He is a part of our team and club and the supporters are a class act here," said Rodgers.
Rodgers had earlier described Suarez as "back...smiling and happy" in his pre-match interview with BT Sport. Suarez went public with his grievances last week after a second bid of £40,000,001 by Arsenal, which they thought should have triggered his departure, was rejected by the Merseysiders.
Liverpool have always maintained there was no release clause as such, only a requirement to notify the player and begin negotiations should they wish. Suarez seemed much happier before Saturday's game however, carrying daughter Delfina around the edge of the pitch to a ripple of applause from the smattering of fans assembled inside the ground an hour before kick-off.
He even stopped to shake hands with former referee Mark Halsey at pitchside before disappearing down the tunnel, emerging less than 10 minutes later to make the walk back to the executive boxes in the Centenary Stand on the opposite side of the ground. A small group of Stoke fans booed as he walked past them but there was more applause and the odd cheer.

Abstract: | A significant portion of the time required for simulating full three-dimensional (3D) charge transport in semiconductor devices using particle-based methods is spent solving the necessary field equations. Two highly effective, iterative techniques available for solving largesparse systems of equations are the conjugate gradient (CG) method and the multigrid (MG) method. In this work, variants of the CG and MG methods are self-consistently coupled to a particle-based full-band simulator and are applied to model small, 3D structures. Detailed analyses of both performance and solver robustness are presented for different algorithmic configurations. Hybrid strategies using various coupling schemes for improving overall performance behavior of the Poisson solver are also discussed. |

text: By William Jones, Contributing Reporter RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Officials in Brazil have revealed that the infrastructure budget for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics in 2016 will be R$24.1 billion (US$10.76 billion). The figure is a lot more than first expected but is being viewed as a statement of intent to prepare the city, without the delays that the 2014 World Cup is currently experiencing. Rio's new governor, Luiz Fernando Pezão, along with the minister of sport José Aldo Rebelo Figueiredo and Rio mayor Eduardo Paes, photo by Bruno Itan/Imprensa RJ. The total cost of Rio 2016 has escalated to R$36.7 billion, which is significantly higher than the organizing committee's 2009 estimation in that the games would cost R$28.8 billion. The infrastructure budget alone has been raised by around 25 percent and will cover expensive renovations to the city's transport links such as the new metro line. According to the mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes, the reason for the jump in the budget is due to the inclusion of more projects in the city's budget, as well as inflation. The mayor has also told the public that 57 percent of infrastructure projects in the city would be paid for with the use of public funds, while the rest would be privately acquired. "We have no room to spare with Deodoro [the Olympic venue]. We cannot make a single mistake here. But there is still time to get it done," Paes said at the budget announcement. He also added that the facilities, some originally built for the 2007 Pan American Games, were "on schedule". With two years to go the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has criticized Brazil's progress while there have also been further complications at some construction sites for Olympic events where workers have gone on strike.

As is typical in the last few months of the year, I'm spending much of my time working on the latest edition of the Prospect Handbook. For the second straight year, we'll assign a BA Grade to each of the 900 prospects who get a full scouting report in the book. The BA Grade combines a player's realistic ceiling on the 20-80 scouting scale and the risk involved with him reaching it.
While the minor league season is unfolding, I often get asked how good a particular farm system is. My typical answer is that unless it stands out as one of the game's best or worst, it's hard to know where a system ranks without spending hours lining them all up against each other.
Well, that's what we're doing now. I've edited the Top 10 Prospects lists for all but one of the American League clubs so far, and I'm in the process of refining the BA Grades for all of those players. While depth plays a factor in our organization rankings, the cumulative grades of the players on a Top 10 list provides a telling look at a system's strength.
Based on our BA Grades, the AL's three best Top 10s belong to (in order) the Mariners, Rangers and Astros. The Angels and White Sox tied for the lowest-graded Top 10, followed by the Indians. I suspect our organization rankings will look very similar when we unveil our preliminary version in the Handbook.
If we could believe that the Marlins were going to reinvest the roughly $160 million they saved in contract obligations, this trade would make some sense from a baseball standpoint. But they're expected to pocket most of that, so who knows when Miami will contend again?
Regardless of what they do with the savings, the Marlins did upgrade one of baseball's thinner farm systems. Righthander Jose Fernandez and outfielder Christian Yelich are obviously their top two prospects, and I'd slot Marisnick behind lefty Andrew Heaney at No. 4. I like Marisnick's five-tool potential, but questions about his bat give the edge to Heaney, who combines solid stuff with tremendous polish.
Nicolino is similar to Heaney without quite as much stuff, so I'd rank him at No. 6 behind outfielder Marcell Ozuna. Hechavarria is a slick defender with questionable hitting ability. He'll be in the mix for the No. 7 spot on our Miami Top 10, and I'm inclined to go with him over catchers J.T. Realmuto and Rob Brantly and righthander Jose Urena because of Hechevarria's positional value and how close he is to the major leagues.
Toronto still has an impressive nucleus in catcher Travis d'Arnaud and righthanders Noah Syndergaard and Aaron Sanchez, but their depth has taken a hit over the last year. Ten members of our Blue Jays Top 30 in the 2012 Prospect Handbook either have graduated to the major leagues or been traded away. Though a very aggressive 2012 draft added a lot of intriguing talent, Toronto's system has fallen toward the middle of the pack after ranking as baseball's fifth-best entering the season.
We'll need replacements for Marisnick, Nicolino and Hechavarria in the 2013 Handbook. The three guys who will move into the Top 10 (barring further transactions) are lefthanders Daniel Norris and Matt Smoral and outfielder Anthony Alford. They're all high-ceiling types who come with significant risk attached.
Norris earned a $2 million bonus as a 2011 second-round pick because he can reach 96 mph and flash a plus curveball, but he recorded an 8.44 ERA in his pro debut this year. Smoral signed for the same amount, has similar velocity and an equally promising breaking ball (a slider in his case)—and he has yet to cut it loose since breaking a bone in his foot in March. Alford was the best athlete in the 2012 draft and could be a steal for $750,000 in the third round, yet it remains to be seen whether the Southern Mississippi quarterback ever will give up football.
As readers of this column know, I'm as bullish on Rendon as anyone. I thought he was the best prospect in the 2011 draft, and I thought his ankle and shoulder injuries at Rice were fluky rather than recurring problem. That faith was shaken when he fractured his left ankle in his second pro game in April, costing him most of the season.
Rendon returned for the final seven weeks of regular season, then hit .338/.436/.494 in the AFL. The lack of quality pitching in the AFL renders its stats mostly useless, but if he can stay healthy he should hit for high averages with at least solid power.
While Rendon has the ability to tear up the minors in 2013, it will be difficult for him to hit his way to the big leagues. The Nationals led the majors with 98 victories last season and already have a third baseman in Ryan Zimmerman. Rendon may have to shift to second base to crack their lineup, but he'd need time to make that transition and Washington has a capable regular there in Danny Espinosa.
Rendon might earn a September callup but won't get significant at-bats with the Nationals until 2014.

Well, this could certainly be annoying! To combat overheating sensors, Nikon may place a tiny cooling fan inside upcoming mirrorless cameras, according to a recent patent filing.
Small fans mean high RPMs, which mean high-pitched squealing. Not good. [PetaPixel]
This will be fantastic for extremely long exposures. One of the big problems is sensor noise coming from heat.
As long as the fan doesn't introduce vibrations that is.
peltier version with hot part connected to aluminum camera body would be also nice.

Football legend Diego Maradona arrived to a tumultuous welcome from thousands of crazy fans from all over the State here on Tuesday.
The Argentine World Cup-winning captain has landed in Kerala for the inauguration of a new showroom of Boby Chemmanur International Jewellers and Airlines, for which he is the brand ambassador.
Maradona, on a two-day trip to the State, arrived by a chartered helicopter from Kochi.
Tight security
Tight security was in place in the city, which saw a festive atmosphere with hundreds of fans pouring in from Kozhikode, Malappuram and Kasargode districts to catch a glimpse of their hero.
Around 2000 police personnel were on duty.
Maradona, who led Argentina to a World Cup triumph in 1986, waved to the crowd after landing at Kannur, a city which has hosted many international and national football tournaments.
The FIFA player of the 20th century, along with Pele, had been to India once before, for a function in Kolkata in 2008.

The laser rangefinder, built into each new and improved Geovid HD, is now capable of accurately measuring distances of up to 1400 yards (1300 metres) and in doing so, takes the guess work out of range assessment.
Leica's legendary optics, have also been improved with the use of Flouride glass for even better definition, brilliance and contrast resulting in a perfect "two in one" tool for the modern stalker. In addition the new AquaDuraTM lens coating repels water and dirt to make them even easier to clean and use in extreme weather conditions.
Leica was the first optical specialist to combine high-performance binoculars and a laser range finder in one especially compact set of binoculars.They enable the user also to switch to scanning mode to allow constant tracking of a moving object with the rangefinder function.
The Leica 15x56 feature a 56 mm objective lens, improved light transmission from the new Flouride glass and water repellant AquaDuraTM lens coating.
The Leica GEOVID 15x56 HD is optimised for twilight and low light conditions via their 56 mm lens diameter, and is unparallelled in terms of lightness and compactness. They deliver images that are extremely rich in contrast, colour neutral, and sharp from edge to edge. They open up a new dimension in viewing and identifying the finest details over long distances - especially in poor lighting conditions.
The optical, electronic and mechanical technologies are perfectly integrated in the pioneer of laser rangefinding, the Geovid HD. An integrated scanning mode allows single measurements every two seconds, which is particularly advantageous when tracking objects in motion. The outward appearance of the compact and ergonomic Geovid HD models is similar to that of conventional binoculars. The differences are in the details: fluoride lenses guarantee maximum colour fidelity and contrast. The Geovids therefore offer a bright, crystal-clear and pin-sharp image, even under the most adverse light conditions.
The benefits at a glance:
Leica Geovid HD 56
Thanks to their superior light-gathering power, the Geovid HD 56 models are particularly suitable for viewing well into the hours of twilight. Precise distance determination is guaranteed in any weather without any compromise in their compact form or ergonomic properties.

Iconic Japanese Film Historian Donald Richie Passes Away
While the film world may in many ways still be reeling from the loss of legendary film critic Andrew Sarris this past summer, another iconic film critic and historian has left us. Author/critic Donald Richie, arguably one of the most influential voices in expanding the reach of Japanese culture (particularly cinema) has passed away. He was 88.Best known for books like The Japan Journals, the writer's imprint on the overall culture has been his aiding in growing the breadth with which Japanese culture reaches. He had been influential in discussing the works of such directors as Ozu and Kurosawa, and has since become an absolute legend in a movement that has lasted ever since....

The 10 Best Lincoln Moments in Film History
"Lincoln does not have the phallus; he is the phallus," proclaimed the editors of Cahiers du Cinéma in 1970, in a group-written polemic on the ideological superstructure of Young Mr. Lincoln (1939), John Ford's moody paean to the salad days of the Great Emancipator. The piece is a doozy of a performance, a high-wire act exemplifying the airy delights of the high renaissance of French-accented film theory. Alternately enlightening and maddening, the essay ends on a declaration that few Americans could ever abide: that in Ford's film, Lincoln emerges finally as a figure of "monstrous dimensions." A monster? Not Abe, never Abe -- he is our guardian angel, secular saint, and -- virtually since the birth of American cinema -- celluloid hero.

Frank Lampard not in talks on new Chelsea deal
Chelsea's Frank Lampard says there is no sign of a contract extension at Stamford Bridge despite his good form.
The 34-year-old midfielder, whose present deal expires in the summer, is free to agree pre-contract terms with a foreign club in January.
"We haven't been talking about a new contract in the last couple of weeks," Lampard said after scoring both Chelsea goals in Sunday's 2-1 win over Everton.
"At the moment nothing has been said and my contract is up in the summer."
Lampard's double in the Blues' win at Goodison Park means he is just one short of second-placed Kerry Dixon's 193 strikes in the club's all-time goal-scoring standings, with Bobby Tambling's club record of 202 goals 10 away.
Assured of a place in the Chelsea history books, Lampard has done his best over recent games to prove that he has a part to play in their future as well, scoring on each of his last three Premier League starts.
He insists that he is happy as part of a team that have won their last four games in the Premier League under the guidance of interim manager Rafael Benitez.
"I'm enjoying playing, I'm working hard in training, I'm loving being part of the team," he added.
"That is all I can tell you for the minute and that is enough for me I am happy with that - to keep playing well and to contribute to days like today."
Frank Lampard's influence
- Chelsea are unbeaten in all 11 Premier League matches that Frank Lampard has appeared in this season, winning 10.
Benitez, who took charge in late November after the dismissal of Roberto Di Matteo, could offer no reassurance that a new deal would be forthcoming for Lampard.
"My job is to keep Lampard fit. He is a good player. He is under contract, fully committed and working hard and that is the way. We cannot say too much about this," Benitez said.
The Spaniard, who said in November that he thought both Lampard and left-back Ashley Cole would depart at the end of the season, indicated that he would not have the final decision over which players join or leave his squad in January.
"My job is to win games, coach the players properly, and keep my opinion if I have to give my opinion," he added. "The key part is to improve the players on the pitch."
