One Response to "Pete + Harry From Mad Men Talk High Speed Trains"
Great Cause! Too bad the "Mad Men" weren't a little more creative, inspiring and clever with their endorsement piece!
Maybe there would be greater appeal for train travel if we went back to the luxury of the Orient Express and didn't worry about everything being high speed!? Relax!

Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie? The Supply of New Recorded Music Since NapsterJoel WaldfogelUniversity of Minnesota - Twin Cities - Carlson School of Management; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER); University of Minnesota - Twin Cities - Department of Economics March 2011 NBER Working Paper No. w16882 Abstract: In the decade since Napster, file-sharing has undermined the protection that copyright affords recorded music, reducing recorded music sales. What matters for consumers, however, is not sellers' revenue but the surplus they derive from new music. The legal monopoly created by copyright is justified by its encouragement of the creation of new works, but there is little evidence on this relationship. The file-sharing era can be viewed as a large-scale experiment allowing us to check whether events since Napster have stemmed the flow of new works. We assemble a novel dataset on the number of high quality works released annually, since 1960, derived from retrospective critical assessments of music such best-of-the-decade lists. This allows a comparison of the quantity of new albums since Napster to 1) its pre-Napster level, 2) pre-Napster trends, and 3) a possible control, the volume of new songs since the iTunes Music Store's revitalization of the single. We find no evidence that changes since Napster have affected the quantity of new recorded music or artists coming to market. We reconcile stable quantities in the face of decreased demand with reduced costs of bringing works to market and a growing role of independent labels.

Google has become an arm of the enemy, officially . We (the blogs) have been reporting on their complicity with terror groups for some time now. I have posted on it here and here and more on Google here. Filou of Views on World Affairs writes here;
I opened my Google News, the source of a main article regarding the Middle East was Hezbollah's Al Manar (see picture right). Since when the news agency of a major terrorist organization is considered a mainstream news source? When will Google start acting in a responsible fashion and stand by its "No Evil" principle?
For those not familiar with Al-Manar, here are is a snapshot:
- It's owned and managed by Iran-funded Hezbollah
- Its programs are dedicated to the promotion of Hezbollah's views' and the hatred of America and Israel
- One of the recent drama series it aired, called The Diaspora, was, according to the BBC, based on "the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a notorious 19th Century publication used by the Nazis among others to fuel race hatred."
- The EU, and more recently the US, have forbidden broadcasting the network.
- Until 9/11, its parent organization, Hezbollah was responsible for more American deaths than any other terrorist organizations
US Designates Al-Manar as a Terror Entity. This is the same Al-Manar that the US Treasury Department Dealt a Major Blow Against -- Hezbollah's Al-Manar TV and Its Iranian Sponsors
Coalition Against Terrorist Media Achieves Number One US Priority
The Coalition Against Terrorist Media (CATM) today praised the U.S. Treasury Department for naming Hezbollah's al-Manar Television, as well as al-Nour Radio and the Lebanese Media Group, as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) entity. Al-Manar runs programming designed to recruit terrorists and incite violent attacks. Much of its funding is provided by Iran. Here
This is a news outfit? Google sees fit to qualify MURDER INC as a news source? Who died and gave these evil clowns such dangerous power? Google refuses to give news agency status to Little Green Footballs. and Michelle Malkin, (check out this 2005 post.) Frankly they are both one of too few news organizations providing real news. TRUTHTELLERS, a rarity that should be exalted.
And back in August 2005, Google gave news agency
status to the International
Solidarity Movement (ISM), according to an anonymous source at
The irony in all this the Google's slogan "do no evil." DO NO EVIL. These malevolent pigs do great harm. Terrible harm is done in spreading the propaganda of barbarians while shutting out the truthtellers.
Google had been running advertisements for the
recruitment web site of the terrorist group Hamas, that show up when the word
"Hamas" is
entered in Arabic: Google advertises Hamas. Terror organization uses search engine to promote website of its military wing Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades.
"Terror organizations are advancing their recruitment and public relations methods:
Internet surfers who enter the word "Hamas" in Arabic in the Google
search engine, will view, in addition to the search results, an AdWord
message that links directly to the website of the organization's
military faction Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades." This indicates that a Hamas source has paid Google, the most popular search engine on the web, for the advertisement.
Oh and BTW, that Israeli flag (above right) is what you'll get when you Google "Israeli flag". Sorry fellas, you can't keep telling me these are "accidents" then spit in my face and tell me it's raining. It has since been corrected here but Google ran that Abu Ghraib Israeli flag for an awfully long time and it took a Herculean bloggers' effort to get it removed.
Each despicable action of Google speaks volumes to their motivation. Their complicity to aid and abet the Chicoms in silencing and censuring the net in China here while refusing to work with the US government on fighting terrorism, crime and porn here is a clear indication of their sympathies.
Think about it. By their acts ye shall know them. And so we know them.
UPDATE: More on Al-Mana from the Wall Street Journal;
Terror TV - Editorial
On any given night of the week, between 10 and 15 million Arabic speakers in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East tune into Al-Manar (the Beacon), the television channel produced by the terrorist group Hizballah. The station's purpose, an Al-Manar official told researcher Avi Jorisch of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, is to "help people on the way to committing what you call in the West a suicide mission."
In its heyday, Al-Manar was transmitted via French Telecom's Globecast satellite, and for a while could be seen in the U.S. thanks to Barbados-based Intelsat and Brazil's Hispamar. But a concerted lobbying effort by the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies succeeded in persuading most of the carriers to drop Al-Manar. Today, only Saudi Arabia's Arabsat and Egypt's Nilesat carry the station. The Bush administration might consider barring Arabsat and Nilesat executives from entering the U.S. until Al-Manar is taken off the air. (Wall Street 4Apr06)
UPDATE April 5: Gates of Vienna has a slightly different but most excellent, "An Ignorant Slogan: "don't Be Evil
UPDATE: Google Alert, more from Al Manar
Shia Muslims in Iraq restrain themselves and farewell the Martyrs ...Al-Manar -
... Amid fears this may lead to civil war, the powerful Shiite leader Abdel Aziz al-Hakim called upon the country's Sunnis to help "unify" Iraq. ...
Google, minister of propaganda, terrorist sympathizer GOOGLE terrorist enabling policies here and hate America bias here. Last March Ynet, reported that Google had been running advertisements for the recruitment web site of the terrorist group Hamas, that show up when the word "Hamas" is entered in Arabic: Google advertises Hamas.Do no evil my ass, Google elevates evil to an art form.
UPDATE April 11: If the US government has designated Al Manar a terror organization, why would the evil doers at GOOGLE continue to morally equivocate on this? They are beneath contempt, they are aiding and abetting. Bring them up on charges. At least we know whose side they are on;
Today's Google Alert
mount on al-Jaafari to relinquish his candidacy for
Al-Manar -
Lebanese daily disclose a foiled attempt to assassinate ...
Al-Manar - Lebanon
TERROR TV, Wall Street Journal
The station's purpose, an Al-Manar official told researcher Avi Jorisch of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, is to "help people on the way to committing what you call in the West a suicide mission."
Watch some of its programming (revealing clips can be seen at www.stopterroristmedia.org), and you'll understand how well-suited the medium is to the message.
That's why it's good news that last month the Treasury Department named Al-Manar as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist entity. The designation prohibits financial transactions with Al-Manar and its parent company,
the Lebanese Media Group, and enables the government to level penalties against U.S. financial institutions (or foreign institutions that transact business in the U.S.) doing business with them.This is no trivial blow: Hezbollah has used Al-Manar for fund-raising by televising bank account numbers to which viewers can wire contributions for jihad. Al-Manar has also sold several million dollars worth of advertising to Western companies. This, too, is now at an end.
The terrorist designation should also help put pressure on Al-Manar's last remaining satellite carriers.
The terrorist designation should also help put pressure on Al-Manar's last remaining satellite carriers.
Everyone except "Don't be Evil" Google, you can't make this stuff up.
Today, only Saudi Arabia's Arabsat and Egypt's Nilesat carry the station, and both governments have rebuffed U.S. entreaties to take it off the air. That may change if either company turns out to be liable to designated-terror penalties. The Bush Administration might also consider a wider range of sanctions, such as barring Arabsat and Nilesat executives from entering the U.S. until Al-Manar is taken off the air.
Al-Manar is hardly the only Arab channel that routinely broadcasts murderously anti-Semitic or anti-American shows. Nor is it likely that simply putting Al-Manar out of business will end terrorist media: The Iranian chapter of Hezbollah has announced its intention to set up a new channel, Khaiber TV. But by taking action against Al-Manar, the Bush Administration has set the right precedent against the worst offender. Let's hope it can enforce it.
APril 12: C'mon guys, everyone must write Google today. They are outta control. Michelle Malkin recommends
a polite but firm e-mail to source-suggestions-at-google.com encouraging them to remove al-Manar as a news source.
Counter terror blog has more.

dc.description.abstract | This study was directed at exploring the personal constructions of young males who had self selected as peer counselors, of what it means to be a man in South Africa at this time in history. One of the goals identified was to highlight and examine both hegemonic and alternative versions of masculinity and, in particular, to examine how young men position themselves in relation to these constructions. In order to investigate the research question, ten adolescents/young men participated in focus group discussions on the topic of masculinity. The participants included 8 school boys, 5 white and 3 black, attending a private, all boys school, as well as 2 black university students. All participants had self selected as peer counselors. The study is located in the qualitative research tradition which allows for depth of description and interpretation. The three focus group discussions held (two at the boys school with 4 participants in each, and one at the university) were recorded and transcribed verbatim. These transcripts were then subject to a critical thematic content analysis. The main themes were identified and the four themes which emerged as dominant in the conversation and occurred most regularly across all three groups are analyzed and discussed. These themes are emotional stoicism, normative heterosexuality, gendered division of labour and displayed toughness. Under each theme material supporting hegemonic constructions of masculinity and material supporting alternative constructions of masculinity is discussed as a separate sub-theme. The impact of the role as peer counselor on participants constructions of masculinity is also discussed. A brief meta-theoretical discourse analytic commentary is also provided, addressing for example, strategies employed by participants to maintain their sense of masculinity in the discussions. This study highlights the fluidity and plurality of masculinity as well as the struggle of adolescent boys and young men as they engage with where and how to position themselves as masculine. A main finding or observation is that some degree of alternative masculinity will be countenanced provided there is evidence of an acceptable baseline of hegemonic or traditional masculinity in a boy or man. | en |

Sony, Panasonic eye next-gen TV tie-up: reportTOKYO, AFP May 16, 2012, 12:05 am TWN TOKYO -- Japan's cash-bleeding electronics giants Sony and Panasonic are looking to join forces to produce next-generation televisions in a bid to claw back market from South Korean rivals, a report said Tuesday.
The firms want to speed up the development of large-screen organic electroluminescence (OEL) televisions, which consume less power and offer a sharper picture than conventional flat panels, the Nikkei daily said. OEL is widely expected to be the dominant technology in the next generation of televisions. Both companies are aiming to commercialize OEL TVs by fiscal 2015, and their tie-up could eventually lead to joint production, the report said, without citing sources. The partnership would mark the first time that the two firms have joined hands in a core business, in a major turning point for the struggling Japanese electronics industry. South Korean firms Samsung Electronics Co. and LG Electronics Inc. plan to release 55-inch OEL TVs this year, the Nikkei said. Sony and Panasonic hope to devise a low-cost, high-yield manufacturing technique by bringing their technologies together, the Nikkei said. Neither company was prepared to comment on the Nikkei report. "The company will continue research on OEL technology based on what it has developed on its own," said Panasonic in a statement. "Nothing has been decided at this point about research into a business plan." A Sony spokesman also refused to comment. Sony and Panasonic suffered a combined US$15.4 billion loss in the year to March as falling sales and intensifying competition hit them hard. Panasonic President Fumio Ohtsubo, who had previously announced he would step down, conceded last week that the firm's earlier television business strategy was off the mark. "We had invested a huge amount in 2006 and 2008 in the panel and TV businesses, but many changes occurred," Ohtsubo told a news briefing in Tokyo.

Remember the 'lazy, hazy days of summer?' You can recapture that feeling while floating downstream or even across the pond on a homemade raft.
A 'raft' can be anything that floats and will hold a person or two ? an inner tube or air mattress will do. But should you desire to build an actual wooden raft, or assist a youngster in doing so, there are many resources available to help you design and build the perfect adventure craft.
Many DIY rafts are constructed of found materials, such as dimension lumber or dried logs. Part of the adventure is acquiring free materials and designing the raft to your own specifications. Held together by rope or nails and buoyed be a bit of Styrofoam, your craft can be ready for launching with just a few hours of work.
Ishmael Wallace and his dad built a raft using 1-inch-think planks cut 3 feet long. They attached the planks with 3?-inch spikes to two 3-inch-diameter logs, each 6 feet long. By using more logs and planks, you could make a larger raft. But remember that once built, the raft has to be moved to the water, so weight is a consideration.
Remember Gilligan (Bob Denver) on 'Gilligan's Island?' He was always coming up with a plan for getting the stranded crew off the island. His design for a raft could hold, well, the whole crew.

Obama welcomes end to standoff, urges Congress to change its ways
Thursday - 10/17/2013, 2:00pm EDT
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says the partial government shutdown "inflicted unnecessary damage" on the U.S. economy and hurt America's credibility around the world.
And now that it's over, Obama says leaders in Washington should focus on a budget, immigration reform and a farm bill.
The president laid out his agenda at the White House this morning, hours after signing a bill reopening the government and averting a default.
He also decried the partisan rancor that led to the 16-day partial shutdown and brought the nation to the brink of default. He says the nation's credit rating was jeopardized, economic growth and hiring slowed and federal workers were deprived of paychecks because of "yet another self-inflicted crisis."
Obama says the American people "are completely fed up with Washington" and the way business is done in the capital must change.
The president says the first matter Congress has to deal with is reaching a budget agreement so there won't be another standoff early next year when the temporary measure runs out.
Congressional negotiators started discussing that this morning, when Congress' four top budget writers met over breakfast.

The Obama administration has turned to Amazon.com for help hosting certain components of HealthCare.gov.
Media production firm DigitalFilm Tree is one of many companies using the open source cloud software to improve business processes.
As consumers continue to face challenges purchasing health insurance through HealthCare.gov, Hewlett-Packard is migrating the exchange's data and will replicate it between two data centers.
HealthCare.gov website lacks a back-up system most large corporations use to ensure their businesses remain operational in case the primary computer systems go down.
U.S. CIO Steven VanRoekel invited a handful of tech experts to see how HealthCare.gov is operating. One of those IT experts, Rackspace CTO John Engates, shared some of his observations with CIO Journal.
HealthCare.gov includes Web analytics software from New Relic to track the insurance exchange's performance in real-time, a key tool in the organization's mission to find issues hamper users of the website.
Tech leaders for the HealthCare.gov health insurance exchange have opened the kimono to their inner sanctum. Rackspace CTO John Engates writes about his experience as one of the IT experts invited to see the federal health exchange's tech upgrades.
The problems plaguing the new U.S. health exchanges were foreshadowed by an earlier online health initiative, says the former acting administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid.
A new open source project funded by major cloud vendors, announced Thursday, is intended to establish heretofore non-existing standards for the cloud. That will address a significant concern of CIOs about the cloud.

The city of La Plata was founded by Pedro de Anzures, Marques de Campo Redondo, on November 30th, 1538. Its foundation was a result of mining activities overseen by Gonzalo Pizarro, who was interested in exploring the Eastern highland region of the Andean Cordillera. In 1559, Spanish king Felipe II commanded the foundation of the Audiencia de Charcas, with its headquarters in the city of La Plata with the purpose of administering the eastern territories. The Audiencia held judicial authority and executive powers and presided over the regions of what is now Paraguay, south-eastern Peru, northern Chile and Argentina, and most of Bolivia. On 1609, the city received an archbishopric, and granted it theological autonomy. That, along with the establishment of the University of San Xavier in 1624. During the 17th century, La Plata served as a legal, religious, and cultural center of the Spanish eastern territories. The first cry of Independence in the Americas took place in the city of La Plata May 25th, 1809. On August 6th, 1825 independence was declared and a new republic was born under the name Bolivia after its liberator Simón Bolivar. On August 11th, the name of the city of La Plata was changed to Sucre in honor of Mariscal Antonio Jose de Sucre, who along with Bolivar, fought for independence from Spanish rule.
The city of Sucre is also known as the City of Four Names, being those names La Plata, Charcas, Ciudad Blanca (White City), and Sucre. On December 13, 1991 UNESCO declared the Historic City of Sucre a "World Heritage Site" in recognition of its rich history and its wealth of colonial architecture.
By November 1996, Sucre had 157,775 inhabitants.
The city of Sucre is located at an altitude of 2,790 m above sea level. Its weather is mild and pleasant around 20 degrees Celsius (68 Fahrenheit).

Exactly and there is only one presidential candidate that shares that same view and wants to get rid of that system. I mean check this out if you haven't already. http://www.ronpaul2012.com/the-issues/end-the-fed/ What's your view on it? |
Undisputed Champion
There cannot be an economic recovery, when every other politician is an agent for the major Corporations, Israel and China. Sorry, not singling out Israel to start a bashing session -- But, why is it such a high priority for US politicians to cater to AIPAC and other Jewish organizations that are designed from the ground up to benefit a foreign Nation?
The Federal Reserve's answer to the economic situation is to PRINT money with no foundation. Meaning that money is not backed by gold, silver, platinum, ***** ... nothing!!! It is the PROMISE of VALUE, yet to be determined, if ever!!! No nation in history, that undermined and devalued its own currency has had longevity. If one day the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries made the decision to start trading oil for the EURO, then all US debt held by China and other nations would become valueless. The economy would collapse and we would see a recession\depression in the US the likes that has never been seen in human history. The US economy has become a complex smoke & mirrors show, and its on the brink of destabilization. All because of a massive GREED system, orchestrated and engineered by multi-national corporations and Wall street. In a true FREE-MARKET economic system, there is no such thing as "TOO BIG TO FAIL". If there was anything to take away from the 2008 real estate disaster is that the US GOVERNMENT NOW SERVES CORPORATIONS, NOT THE US CITIZENS. How can it be LEGAL for elected officials to take taxpayer money, that is collected for the sole purpose of providing services to the citizens of the US -- to bail out CORPORATIONS. The US leadership has been brought and sold to the highest bidder and that is not the US citizen. It is the multi-national corporations that spend millions through lobbyists lining the pockets of politicians, so that the will of corporations are fulfilled and not the will of the people. I don't care how much they tax the rich, it will not correct decades of fleecing of the American tax system. By the very politicians elected to safeguard it. The US tax coffers have been used to fill the pockets of politicians, Banks, Multi-national corporation CEO's, foreign countries and the list goes on and on. While at the same time 15 MILLION Americans are out of work and cut off from all economic support from the very tax system they paid into all their lives. "We the people" is dead and gone, US citizens do not have a place in this economic system other than being CONSUMERS!!!!! That is what US citizens have been reduced to: "MINDLESS CONSUMERS" who spend all their earnings feeding a system that no longer serves them. There is not one politician in office or on the horizon, that can pull this economy out of the ditch, it took decades to dig. The politicians have destroyed this country with their unbridled greed and now all of us have to pay for the National Black Credit Card that is well over the limit. |

Central Bank of China To Widen Channels For Capital Outflows
Published Saturday, 28 April 2012 17:44 |
The nation will also increase the yuan's role in cross- border trade and investment, according to a three-paragraph summary today of the People's Bank of China's annual report on international financial markets. The report forecast the global economy will recover slowly this year and that Europe's sovereign-debt crisis is the biggest uncertainty.
China is loosening controls on capital flows and boosting the use of the yuan overseas to help rebalance the nation's economy, slow growth in its foreign-exchange holdings and develop an alternative to the U.S. dollar as a reserve currency. The central bank widened the yuan's trading band for the first time since 2007 this month, a step toward improving the exchange-rate's flexibility and addressing complaints from trading partners that it's controlling the pace of yuan gains.
The full report couldn't be found on the People's Bank of China website and calls to the central bank in Beijing today weren't answered.
China's foreign-exchange reserves have doubled over the past four years, reaching a world record $3.3 trillion at the end of March, central bank data show. The increase, mainly due to the trade surplus, has prompted countries including the U.S. and European Union to accuse the nation of keeping the yuan undervalued, giving exporters an unfair advantage.
The yuan is only convertible on the current account for trade purposes. The government still controls transactions on the capital account for investment purposes including foreign direct investment and securities transactions.
Steps toward loosening controls on the capital account have included allowing foreign investment in yuan raised offshore and permitting Chinese companies to buy assets overseas using the local currency.
China last month chose the eastern city of Wenzhou to start a trial to relax controls on capital outflows that included allowing residents to make direct investments abroad. The central bank this month said it will set up a cross-border payment system within two years to boost use of the yuan in international trade and investment, Bloomberg reported.

faire 5pts This is what the Corvette C7 should have been:https://www.factoryfive.com/kits/gtm-supercar/
Jim 5pts YAAAWWWWWWWWNNN! Lexus LFA, anybody? If I may submit a modest example......Larry Shinoda's design, C2 1st yr production with the gingerbread hood scoops and split rear window.....THAT'S the Vette that encourages longing looks over one's shoulder....referencing Angus McKenzie's op-ed in the April issue.....and while we're on it.....BRING BACK THE ARCHIVES AS I'M NOT THE ONLY READER TO DEMAND THIS!!
kenedski 5pts Can you say Corvetarri? The most beautiful blend of American muscle style and European style. Not since the original Stingray have I lusted for a Corvette. Absolutely, breathtakingly, beautiful rendering of power and beauty. Thank you Chevrolet for the new Stingray!
shifterkartdrvr 5pts I have been waiting for SRT Vipers to make it to the showroom floor and hoping that a convertible will soon follow. Now Chevy has given me pause. A new Vert may be in my future. Great job Chevy!
djetzel1940 5pts If painted black, red, white, silver or matallic gray would look sharp with red interior, especially black with red interior like in the 60's.
fredriver 5pts The front end is beautiful. The interior is great. But the rear end... well. I don´t like it. It looks childish. Like "Tranformers-inspired. Or Megatron. Just watch and you´ll see what I´m talking about. I just don´t think that´s a good idea. A Corvette is not a toy.
wallydufrat 5pts When is the General and other car compnies going to offer interiors like they used to????????? That puke yellow/tan that once was the Ferrari option No. 1 is terrible.Think how good a white or red interior would look with a black converible.........or a white converv. with a red interior.
iudelt89 5pts They have finally gotten around to putting a quality interior in a vette. Bravo GM. The stingray will definately start over the $50k range. The base vette will likely be in the $50k range to keep a hold on that market. 99% of the baby boomers that can afford cars in this price range won't use it for more than going to the golf course / car shows and back anyway. I don't think they will be missing any of the power by opting for the base model. I can't remember if they said they were going to offer the convertible in the base trim though.
The_Beast_Unleashed 5pts Fantastic!I would go for a classic black top with that cocoa brown interior though
CirrusSR22 5pts great looking vette. way too much money thought but not bad for a supercar.. just don't see how people drop that kind of $$ on a car. me and wife have very good jobs and that car is just too much
Conspiracy Smith 5pts Price keeps creeping up with every new article. I'm guessing you can kiss the $50,000 Corvette goodbye.
faire 5pts @fredriver - couldn't agree with you more. After waiting with much anticipation for the C7, my initial feeling is that the atrocious derriere of the C7 has moved it near the bottom of the shopping list. The Formerly Big Three desperately need to hire some designers from Porsche, Fisker or Audi.
mayhemsyco 5pts First they said base price in the 55k range and this is a convertible, so the base price will be higher, remember. They're still thinking the base price for the coupe is in the 50's, but at that it's a sick deal if you can afford the price range.
fredriver 5pts It´s a toy for adults, all right. But It´s not meant to look like a toy for children. Cartoonish. And I´m referring to the rear end, only; because the rest of the car looks just great.
aaron19 5pts @wheatgod @jpower102 Actually it is fantastic by anyone's standards.....for the price. It's a 50-70k car that can compete with 100-200k cars. That, by anyone's standards, is fantastic...
mayhemsyco 5pts You're a hater, the interior is great. Who are you comparing it to and have you been in one?

Survivor: Caramoan -- Fans vs. Favorites
Exclusive: Matt Bischoff talks 'Survivor: Caramoan -- Fans vs. Favorites' (Part 1)
By Reality TV World staff, 03/21/2013
Matt Bischoff
, a 38-year-old in BMX bike sales from Cincinnati, OH, was voted out of
: Caramoan -- Fans vs. Favorites' newly-shuffled Bikal tribe during Wednesday night's fifth episode of the CBS reality series' 26th edition.
Matt was voted out of his tribe at the season's fifth Tribal Council session after
Jeff Probst
shuffled the tribes, ultimately mixing up the season's "Favorites" and "Fans" at random.
In an exclusive interview with Reality TV World on Thursday, Matt talked about his
experience and ouster from the game. Below is the first half of Matt's interview. Check back with Reality TV World on Friday for the concluding portion.
Reality TV World: So I guess I want to start with whether you were surprised to be voted off instead of
Julia Landauer
-- because it kind of seemed like you were.
Reality TV World: Survivor: Caramoan
More Survivor: Caramoan News
Matt Bischoff
Yeah, I was surprised to be voted off. However, going into Tribal, I was pretty nervous, man. I knew there was a possibility that I was going home. So I was surprised, but then again, I knew it could be coming too. So it was very, very, very disappointing though. I was hoping and thinking that it was going to be Julia going home.
Reality TV World: Did anything happen that might've made you think you were going home instead of her? Did you get the vibe your tribemates were skeptical that you didn't have a hidden Immunity Idol?
Matt Bischoff
Yeah, I mean, they knew that I did not have an idol. My strategy going into the Bikal beach was being completely and brutally honest with them to try to gain their trust, and I knew that the four of them were sticking together no matter what. And I knew
Corinne Kaplan
was freaking out about a hidden Immunity Idol, and I said, "I do not have an idol."
Now, was that a mistake on my part -- because I tried to pretend I did? Maybe, maybe not. But I don't really regret the way that I handled that. I was really trying to convince them that Julia did not have an idol. Because they were like, "Why is Julia not coming up to us to try to save herself?" She did not once strategize with any of the "Favorites."
With Corinne specifically, I said, "Corinne, she does not have an idol. She's just not talking to you guys because she's more of a quiet person and not really strategizing too much. I promise you she does not have an idol." But at the end of the day, my honesty might have bit me in the butt and, you know, it sent me packing.
Reality TV World: I was going to ask you about Julia. I think Corinne was shown making a sarcastic comment about Julia being boring. Is that just Julia's personality -- that she is just a naturally quiet person and it wasn't a deliberate strategy in the game?
Matt Bischoff
Yeah, I mean, I love Julia. Julia's cool. As far as being a very strong personality, it's just not happening, and I think that's why you didn't really get to see a lot of Julia on
. Her personality just is what it is, man. She's more chill and just not super outgoing.
So, it's just frustrating because her being the personality that she [was] made Corinne be like, "Wow, she must be super confident if she's not even trying to scramble and save her own ass," you know what I mean?
But I was trying to convince Corinne, "I'm telling you, Julia is just Julia, and I can tell you right now she doesn't have an idol." You heard last night, Corinne loves [
Michael Snow
] because he's gay. Maybe I should've pretended to be gay and (laughs) she would've kept me around too!
Reality TV World: Had you believed
Phillip Sheppard
when he told you Julia was the one going home, and do you think he was being sincere at that time or do you think he was just stringing you and Michael along at that point?
Matt Bischoff
I don't know, you know, Julia seemed like the most logical person to go home at the time. She did not very well in the challenge. She was supposed to be helping decipher this puzzle but it was a complete mess. Her and [
John Cochran
] sucked at it. It almost seemed like everyone was throwing the challenge, it was so horrible. I don't believe they did, but yeah, Julia got blamed for that.
And I straight up asked Phillip, "What are you thinking tonight?" And he said, "Julia." And I'm like, "Cool, Michael and I are completely onboard with getting rid of Julia" -- although Julia was in my alliance, man, I was doing everything I could to try and save myself. All I wanted to do was get myself to the freaking merge, man, and it was going to be a whole new game.
But at the same time, you know, everyone knew that Michael and I were this power couple playing together. And I didn't hide that at the time because I was wanting them to be able to be like, "Wow, maybe we can join forces with Michael and Matt," you know what I mean? "That's two people we can get onboard with us."
Maybe I should not have been so blatantly obvious, but going into it, when you're out there, it's very, very hard. People can watch the show and be like, "Oh, why did he do that or this?!" It was my strategy and I felt like I played the best I could with the cards that I was dealt, and I'm very proud of how I played the game. It's a bummer that I went home because I just had way more game-playing to do.
Reality TV World: So just to clarify, it doesn't sound like you thought there was any potential downside to being perceived as that "power couple" with Michael, right?
Matt Bischoff
Technically, Cochran obviously was like, "Wow, we should probably break that up." And knowing that I was blatantly honest saying that I didn't have the idol, I was the easiest target, and it was smart of him probably to do that. But at the time, man, I was not trying to hide the [
Dawn Meehan
] thing.
I was hoping that -- Michael and I had a great relationship, and when Michael and I went over there and everyone had gravitated towards us, I was hoping that we'd be able to work together. And I truly believe that Dawn and Corinne and Cochran and Michael and myself would've for sure been working together at some point had we gotten the chance to do that together.
Reality TV World: I noticed you left Phillip out of that list. And there's been a little debate amongst viewers this season about whether Phillip is really leading the "Favorites," like
Brandon Hantz
clearly seemed to think, or whether all the other "Favorites" are just letting Phillip think he's the leader because it kind of keeps him happy and they haven't had an opportunity to vote him off yet. What was your take on that while you were out there? Did you still have the same opinion after the tribal swap as you had before spending time with them?
Matt Bischoff
Well, Phillip's a hilarious guy, pure comedy and entertainment to me. Phillip seemed to be in a power position over there -- just the way he was treating everybody at camp, you know?
He was kind of like this dominant force, like he was in charge of the food and the fire and this, that, and the other, and the challenges. So in his mind, he definitely was thinking he was the leader, and I think everyone else was intimidated by him.
It's like, looking back now, I still think the four of them would've stuck together. But to me, the smart thing would've been use Michael and I to get out Phillip when you guys have the chance to do it, you know what I mean?
But Phillip, he started running his little "Stealth R Us" thing, almost giving Michael and I a name, and I was just listening to what he had to say. And in my brain, I'm just dying laughing. It was hilarious to me. Phillip's a good guy though. At the end of the day, he's just a funny guy and I don't know, it was interesting to play with the guy.
Above is the first half of Matt's exclusive interview with Reality TV World. Check back with us on Friday for the concluding portion.

For many problem instances, the inclusion and exclusion formula has many cancellations and symmetries. By imposing a hierarchy on the formula's terms, we develop general reductions for inclusion and exclusion algorithms. We apply these reductions to an algorithm which counts Hamiltonian paths, and we develop a branch and bound algorithm to detect Hamiltonian paths. Then we show how to apply the reductions to other inclusion and exclusion algorithms.

Pomade promenade after the jump…
Murray's is where it all began. As far as legitimate hair products, that is. In college, my roommate and I had a little competition going to see who could cultivate greasier hair. He would stand in the shower basin and pour beer onto his head before bed. I would slick mine back in the morning with hand lotion. Murray's came later. While it was a marked improvement, it was still a thing between dudes. A houseful—four grimy, boozy skateboarders sharing a rented home and, in the bathroom, a tin of this stuff.Murray's works well for giving your hair a "still damp" sheen that sticks around all day. You can also recharge its luster by slicking your hair back with a comb. The drawback hits in the summertime when it mixes with your sweat and runs in rivulets down your forehead, leaving trails of plugged pores in its wake.
I met my wife when I was in my Murray's phase. She was headstrong and in beauty school. I was still drunk and greasy. Through a fortuitous tilt in the universe, she arrived in Chicago to cohabitate with me a few years later. She was cutting my hair regularly in a salon that stocked American Crew products. This stuff was a quantum leap from the tin of Murray's I still kept in my medicine cabinet (though I had moved on to their ultra-light formula).The Fiber was the business for some time. My hair was pushed forward and messy and this kept it thick and sturdy. I only moved to their Pomade when, again in the summer, the stuff mixed with my perspiration and created a strange Icy-Hot sensation all over my scalp. This goo was not nearly as pliable, but it kept my hair where I wanted without the tingling.
By the time we moved back to Denver, my wife was bored cutting my hair the same way. We were talking about it one day near a magazine with David Lynch on the cover. Dude has a legendary mane, and my wife decided to cut mine in a similar fashion. Afterward, I had to learn to blow-dry my hair (easy and cathartic it turns out) and it would stay up for a few days before I washed it again, thanks to Bumble and Bumble Sumo Wax.Inspired by the wax that sumo wrestlers traditionally put in their hair, it works best warmed a little. I rub it in my hands and then sort of lightly graze my hair after it is dry. Then I go back through with a heavier hand, brush it back, hit it with hairspray and up and back it stays for 79 hours. Their Styling Wax is good for days between washing your hair, as it is a little lighter and keeps your hair from getting gummy.
Oribe Pomade is an Escalade among hair putties. The casing looks like a pricy rim and the stuff inside sits in a little pot inset a ways from the edge, like some protected jewel. It has a damn fine consistency on your fingertips, but kids love it. The outward shininess appeals to their raven-like tendencies and the pomade itself moves about like sticky modeling clay.My pot of this stuff was ravaged before it even reached the bathroom cabinet so what little remains is jacket-and-tie pomade. Takes some getting used to the thickness of it, but when used in the proper amount, it defies most gravity. It is a pomade that makes you feel like a pomade should: evolved. (jt)

I thoroughly agree with this. Great call! Pradaria has utterly fantastic food with very friendly, personable service. The head chef himself comes out frequently to serve and ensure guests are happy, and all the servers remember your preferences (unlike every other churrascaria I've been to). Plus, it's not a Big Scene like Fogo, and I've never left nauseated like I did after a single visit to Nelore.
Best South American Restaurant Houston 2009 - Pradaria
Pradaria is a little different from the other churrascarias in town. There's sushi on the salad bar and a wider variety of rodízio meats. The servers in gaucho costumes come around with the usual rib eye and picanha, the juicy top sirloin that's doubled over into a C shape on the skewer. But they might also show up at your table with an entire 18-pound rib roast, or a rack of dainty pink lamb chops. They are also likely to offer you offal like sweetbreads and such seldom-seen specialties as cupim. Cupim is highly prized in Brazil. It comes from the hump of Brahma crossbred cattle, and it's as marbled as the best Kobe beef. As for the raw fish, it seems that nearly every churrascaria in Brazil serves sushi on the salad bar. There's a huge Japanese population in Brazil, and it's become a part of the churrascaria culture.

Two of Britain's most cherished institutions were on Sunday embroiled in a row after the London School of Economics (LSE) accused the BBC of using its students as "a human shield" for an undercover documentary on North Korea and putting their lives at risk.
Demanding that the programme, to be telecast at primetime on Monday, should be dropped, the LSE said the BBC had abused media ethics by "lying" to the students about the nature of the trip they were invited to join.
"There were lies and deception from the outset, putting the students at risk and creates a serious future problem for those who go to do future research or student travel," the director of the LSE, Professor Craig Calhoun, told Sky News.
LSE students' union general secretary, Alex Peters-Day, alleged that the students were "lied to".
"I think the trip was organised by the BBC as potentially a ruse for them to get into North Korea and that's disgraceful. They've used students essentially as a human shield in this situation," she said.
'Students informed'
The BBC admitted that a three-member crew, pretending to be part of an LSE student team, spent eight days in North Korea and secretly filmed for its Panorama programme but claimed that the students knew there would be a journalist on the trip. It said it planned to go ahead with the telecast as scheduled.
"There were 10 students. We told them there would be a journalist on the trip and, if that journalist was discovered, it could mean detention and that it could mean arrest," said Ceri Thomas, Head of BBC's news programmes.
In a separate statement, the BBC said the students were given enough information to enable them "to make their decision about whether they wanted to proceed".
"The students were all explicitly warned about the potential risks of travelling to North Korea with the journalist as part of their group. This included a warning about the risk of arrest and detention and that they might not be allowed to return to North Korea in the future," it said.

Contents PvP vs PvE Strategies by Class Death Knight Druid Hunter Mage Paladin Priest Rogue Shaman Warlock Warrior PvP vs PvE Player-versus-Player servers are very different from Player-versus-Environment servers. If you play on a PvP server, the two main factions, Alliance and Horde, are in a constant state of battle. Players of one faction can choose to attack players of another faction. Within PvP servers are different types of combat: Duel, Battlegrounds, Arena, Random, and World.. Duel and Battlegrounds are similar in that they're both done in controlled environments.
However, a Duel is between two players of either the same or different faction, and Battlegrounds are specifically between Alliance and Horde players. Arena is an on-going tournament that take splace in an instanced controlled environment. You are earn Arena Points by beating other teams. Random PvP battles are found in the game world when a PvP-designated player runs into another PvP-designated character. World PvP is any player-versus-player that takes place in any spot within the world. PvP rewards can be earned through World PvP. Player-versus-Environment differs from PvP because it does not exclusively between two human-controlled players. PvE is the primary form of play in World of Warcraft and features combat between the player(s) and non-playable characters (NPC's) like bosses. Some PvP fighting is available in certain areas of a PvE server, but only between players who choose to designate themselves as willing to fight (by enabling their PvP flag). Choosing to fight in a PvP environemnt is beneficial, because it allows you to learn and master the character you're playing as. Certain rewards, such as loot and achievements, can only be earned by combat in a PvP server. If you're playing with a group, PvP offers a way to cultivate and enhance teamwork and communcation among members. Strategies by Class Below is a breakdown of all the classes in the game, as it relates to PvP play. While this will not spell out every strategy possible with each class, it does provide quick access to some commonly used tricks with the different abilities of each class. Death Knight

I took a weekend trip to see the West Coast (so lovely, by the way), and did some reading for entertainment. (Along with making my mother see some of Doctor Who. I am nothing without priorities.) Here are my Goodreads reviews from that.
Shade's Children by Garth Nix
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Reading two post-apocalypse books at the same time and having neither of them explain about why the world was the way it was frustrated me. (Time to read more Susan Beth Pfeffer books!) Still, Shade's Children was gripping. The technology! The ridiculousness of something else harvesting human organs to create their own monsters which then go after the children that run away because… why? Some kind of battle. Okay, so we really didn't get into the other side of the story. Whatever. That's fine.
There were still really compelling conflicts of children who did not grow up with adults and therefore do not know how to reason like an adult. And Shade itself! The most fascinating take of this book is what happens when you let something like him run loose. Is it okay? Are the children being raised in a fair environment where they know all they need to know? Do they learn compassion in addition to Sex Ed I, II, and Basic Contraception? (Oh man the fact that those existed cracked me up.)

Fever Crumb by Philip Reeve
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I would say that this book is almost-but-not-quite steampunk, since many of the characters are trying to resurrect and understand technology from our time. (As with the last book I reviewed, what happened to make this change? So curious!) It was fascinating to see this girl, who was raised with the point of view that irrationality is wrong, struggle with her feelings as she learns that her entire history was a lie. I was quite pleased at the ending, as she realizes that she needs space to think away from the people who want to use her, and she takes it. That was quite a strength, to go from a childlike "scientist" who follows where the older men direct to realizing what she needs and taking it. The best part of this book was absolutely watching Fever mature, when I almost expected her to stay this childlike doll for the entire book, pushed from one thing to another by the plot.

The AP mess, day 4Thursday, June 19, 2008 by Dave Winer. I gotta say the AP guys are digging the hole deeper every time they communicate. But the bloggers aren't helping. Almost everyone seems to be making the story bigger than it is, with a few exceptions. Scott Rosenberg is doing his usual excellent job of reporting. Sticking with what he knows to be true, and carefully saying what is speculation and what is not. Even Rogers Cadenhead, who I sometimes think as the blogger's equiv of Al Sharpton, is actively trying to douse the flames. But Mike Arrington, who I sometimes think of as the blogger equiv of Lou Dobbs, sees a conspiracy. Fact is, while I don't support or belong to the Media Bloggers Association, it has been around for a long time. A lot of the bloggers who are expressing their rage are careful to say that they never heard of them, which is hard to refute, but a simple check at archive.org shows that the website has been around since August 2004. It was launched at BloggerCon III in November 2004, at Stanford. Robert Cox is a real person. He's a Republican, a bit outrageous, but seems harmless, and I think he's doing good work. The blogger who's being harassed by the AP needs help, he's providing it. The press statement by the AP makes it sound like something more is happening. See my first paragraph. They need to learn how to communicate publicly. Amazing isn't it -- here's a media organization that is doing a super poor job of participating in media. The problem for them is that on this side, when they're the source of the controversy, they're just a big corporate entity without much experience. Of course their reporters (are they covering this -- they should, imho) could teach them a thing or two. We've been around this block so many times. When Dan Rather was being picked to death by right wing bloggers, CBS should have split in two, one half responding to the outrage, and the other half covering it, all sides, all angles. Their reporters had unique access and perspective, and could have presented a more balanced story, one that included left wing bloggers and the core of the story that the right wing guys didn't want anyone to pay attention to -- the hypocrisy of attacking a guy who served in Vietnam on behalf of a guy who dodged the draft at the same time. That story got buried because reporters didn't do their jobs. I've been where AP is now, when in 2004 I gave up on weblogs.com hosting. I got the shaft from bloggers, and initially from the pros too. But when the furor settled, the pros were willing to take another look and decide if the story had been fairly reported. The bloggers weren't willing. It was then I realized that this panacea I had envisioned in 1995 had turned out a bit differently than I had imagined. I thought bloggers were going to keep the press honest. Here was a case where the opposite was true. This led me to a softer position re pros -- I believe we need both approaches, and the bloggers who just want to lynch AP are engaging in the worst kind of discourse, it's anti-intellectual, they jump to conclusions, ignore information that contradicts their assumptions that's easily available, and points of view that don't agree with theirs. This is worse than what AP is doing, their lawsuits will not happen, not unless they want to commit corporate suicide. But the bitterness of this shitstorm will linger, for a long time to come. PS: I noticed yesterday that the NY Times is starting a social network. Told you so. Starting in 2002, and many times since, I asked them to give all reporters blogs, and offer nytimes.com hosted blogs to everyone who is quoted in a Times story. Imagine if they had done that, the kind of social network they'd have now, and the difference in discourse in the blogosphere. Sure it would be opinionated, lynch mobs may still have formed, but some of the authority of the Times would have rubbed off. One can hope. It's still possible and it's still a good idea. |

This paper reviews a broad set of indicators of competitiveness in the Macedonian economy and estimates the equilibrium real effective exchange rate (REER) using different methodologies. Although the REER is broadly in equilibrium at present, structural factors are found to hamper competitiveness. While a more competitive exchange rate might improve short-term export performance, sustained improvements require enhanced productivity and resource reallocation to more dynamic sectors, which depends on reforms to improve the business environment.

Arazzius the Cruel is a level 63 eredar warlock, loyal servant of the leader of the Burning Legion, Kil'jaeden, and the Legion's overlord over the Hellfire Peninsula. Arazzius the Cruel resides at his throne protected by many demons on the top of the mountain at the Pools of Aggonar.
Arazzius is the objective of [63] Overlord from Force Commander Danath Trollbane in Honor Hold, and [63] Cruel's Intentions from Forward Commander To'arch at Reaver's Fall.
- [Pyroblast]
- Shadow Bolt Volley
- [Inferno]
- Summon Infernals - typically two at a time.
Arazzius the Cruel is immune to stuns. All of his abilities can be interrupted, however.
Old Kitting Strategy
Before attempting to solo Arazzius, it is important to clear all mobs from the Eastern side of the pools so that the demon can be kited to the road. Once on the road, he can be kited to either the Temple of Telhamat or Thrallmar.
The primary issue hunters must overcome when kiting Arazzius is the infernals he spawns. These can be slowed by Frost Traps or [Frost Nova] or other slowing abilities, or picked up with a pet that has AOE aggro capabilities, such as a hunter's gorilla. Because the infernals move faster than the demon, it is usually possible to move to one side and route Arazzius around AOE slowing effects.
Some class and talent combinations may not need to kite Arazzius. This includes, but is not limited to classes with the ability to heal themselves when required.
- What insolence! What arrogance! To believe you could defeat me on my own doorstep!

GS Pay??
Anyone know how the pay scale for the federal firefighters works? If a position is a GS-4 @ 24666, What is your final pay for the year. I know there is a 72 hour work schedule. Is additional OT added in to pad the amount? Anyone out there who can help would be appreciated. Thanks.

GS Pay
The easiest way to figure out your firefighter pay is to divide what your GS level and step is with the locality included (what is on your LES) by 2756. The 2756 is the regular amount of hours you work in a a year at 53 hours per week. This will give you your regular hourly rate. Then multiply that figure by 1.5. This is your overtime rate. Multiply your regular rate by 106 for your regular hours then multiply your overtime rate by 38 for your overtime hours. Take both figures and add them together for your bi-weekly salary. To find out your yearly salary simply multiply this figure by 26 for your 26 pay periods per year.
Base Pay: $30,000 divided by 2756 = $10.89 regular
Overtime: $10.89 x 1.5 = $16.35
Bi-Weekly: 106 x $10.89 = $1,154.34
38 x $16.35 = $621.30
$1,154.34 + $621.30 = $1775.64 (bi-weekly)
Yearly: $1775.64 x 26 = $46166.64
Hope this helps.
