You guessed it. According to Forbes and Wall Street Journal, Groupon is the fastest growing company in Web history. After two years they have 500M in revenue and are expected to grow exponentially. Groupon was valued at 1.35B. The only other company that achieved a Billion dollar valuation as quickly was YouTube, who is still waiting to make a profit.
Groupon is doing everything that a dot com company is supposed to do -- huge sales, big profits and a solid connection between "bricks and mortar" retailers and online consumers. Getting people into stores from online coupons is the "the holy grail" that many others have tried to do and not succeeded. One of their most popular items so far: a $25 ticket for a Chicago architectural boat tour sold for $12. In May Groupon moved 19,822 tickets in eight hours and split the $238,000 with the tour operator. These guys make money.
Vendors generally share half the revenues with Groupon. Why are vendors willing to give such a huge cut to Groupon? For one thing, Groupon makes it so fast and easy for vendors to start using their service. But probably the biggest attraction is the chance for repeat customers. If you get people through your door and they like your product, then they will probably come back. My guess is that the Chicago boat tour did not expect to sell 20,000 tickets in eight hours (those are rock star numbers). This will keep them busy for quite a while.
Groupon is now in 88 US cities and 22 countries. As more and more mobile phones are purchased and upgraded they will continue to grow. Many competitors, like Living Social, have sprung up. Google's bid to purchase Groupon was unsuccessful. I wonder if Groupon is available at any price. Chances are that they just are not for sale. According to Wired Magazine, Google has built their own Groupon clone called Google Offers. Facebook Places could definitely give Groupon a run for their money too.
Many are speculating that Groupon will go public in 2011. They are reportedly talking to banks. What would you be willing to pay for a piece of Groupon? Do you think they will hold their value in the face of the competition? My opinion is that they will go public in 2011. They will have a valuation of over 10B and they will be oversubscribed.

Horror game for Liverpool's black stars
Comment on this storyLondon – Liverpool have been handed the trip from hell after being drawn against Zenit St Petersburg in the first knockout round of the Europa League.
A group of Zenit supporters sparked outrage this week when they published a manifesto calling for all 'non-Europeans' and 'sexual minorities' to be barred from playing for the club and Zenit remain the only Russian club never to have signed an African player.
The manifesto, which Zenit boss Luciano Spalletti quickly distanced himself from, also declares: "Black players are being imposed on Zenit almost by force." That prompted former Blackburn defender Christopher Samba, now of Anzhi Makhachkala, to label Zenit fans racist.
It promises to be an uncomfortable trip for Liverpool with as many as five high-profile black players in their squad. Glen Johnson, Raheem Sterling and Andre Wisdom could yet be joined by January targets Tom Ince and Daniel Sturridge.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers refused to discuss in detail on Thursday the prospect of what might happen in St Petersburg.
He said: "It is a good draw for us. We have had experience of playing in Russia (this season against Anzhi). It is important we go there as group winners as it means we play the second leg at home. They are a good side and they have invested a lot of money."
When pressed about the racist manifesto, Rodgers said: "I haven't given it any thought. I've got my own view but that's for nearer the time. I've seen that come out but I've got nothing to say on it."
Liverpool have only suffered two incidents of players being racially abused in recent years. Emile Heskey was targeted in Kiev in 2002, while Djibril Cisse was abused three years later in Sofia during a Champions League qualifier.
When Gerard Houllier took Liverpool to Spartak Moscow in 2002, he said he would lead his side off the pitch if they were subjected to racist chanting but the game passed without incident.
Meanwhile, it is expected that Liverpool will formally announce Sterling has committed his future to the club in the next 24 hours. His representatives shook hands on a deal on Wednesday that will see him earn around £30,000 a week for the next five years.
Though Rodgers is thrilled that the business has reached a successful conclusion, he has made it clear he will not tolerate Sterling sitting back and thinking he has done enough. The manager on Wednesday pointed out that Sterling is not yet at senior level.
"He hasn't joined those ranks, don't worry about that," said Rodgers. "He has been rewarded as a young player who, at 17, has come in and performed very well. He will never be elevated above his position here.
"There is a lot of development and a lot of nurturing to go yet, but he has been rightly rewarded and it is fantastic for the club. If you play for a big club there is always going to be expectation. For young Raheem we need to help manage those expectations.
"If you go into a lot of clubs as a young player it is a nice little journey. If you go in at one of the biggest clubs in the world it is magnified one million per cent.
"It is our job to nurture him and educate him and there is still so much for him to learn. He hasn't long left school."
Rodgers added: "It is not only football education he needs but life education. We will support him in that and make sure the expectancy is at the correct level.
"I always congratulate players when they sign a new contract and then I warn them. I tell them they need to decide after this contract whether there is going to be another contract at one of the biggest clubs in the world or whether it will be at a different level."
Liverpool remain confident of completing a deal for Ince despite Blackpool saying they have rejected an offer from Anfield for the England Under 21 forward.
Zenit St Petersburg's fans have one of the worst reputations for racism in world football. Here are some of the reasons why...
Olympique Marseille players complain of being racially abused after facing Zenit in a Uefa Cup tie. Before the final in Manchester, manager Dick Advocaat says: "I would be happy to sign anyone, but the fans don't like black players."
Zenit are fined $10,000 after one of their supporters offers Brazilian full back Roberto Carlos a banana before a Russian Premier League match against Anzhi Makhachkala.
Zenit fan club Landscrona writes in an open letter: "We're not racists but we see the absence of black players at Zenit as an important tradition." – Daily Mail

Order: | Orthoptera |
Suborder: | Ensifera |
Superfamily: | Tettigonioidea |
Family: | Tettigoniidae |
The family Tettigoniidae, known in American English as katydids and in British English as bush-crickets, contains more than 6,400 species. It is part of the suborder Ensifera.
They are also known as long-horned grasshoppers, though they are more closely related to crickets than to grasshoppers. Their antennae may be longer than their own body length, those of the grasshoppers are always relatively short.
Disguise[change | change source]
Katydids may disguise themselves brilliantly. Some look exactly like dead brown leaves, complete with holes, lying still on the forest floor of the rainforests of Asia and South America. Others act like green, living leaves fluttering from a branch. They even have vein-like markings like real leaves.[1]

Phase III | Treatment | Closed | 18 and over | NCI, Other | CDR0000637947 CALGB-70604, NCT00869206 |
RATIONALE: Zoledronic acid may stop the growth of cancer cells in bone and may help relieve some of the symptoms caused by bone metastases. It is not yet known which schedule of zoledronic acid is more effective in treating patients with metastatic cancer that has spread to the bone.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying two different schedules of zoledronic acid to compare how well they work in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer, metastatic prostate cancer, or multiple myeloma with bone involvement.
Further Study Information
- To compare the proportion of patients with metastatic breast cancer, metastatic prostate cancer, or multiple myeloma involving bone who experience ≥ 1 skeletal-related event during 2 years of treatment with zoledronic acid administered every 12 weeks vs every 4 weeks.
- To compare pain scores of these patients, as assessed by the Brief Pain Inventory questionnaire.
- To compare the functional status (ECOG performance status) of these patients.
- To compare the incidence of osteonecrosis of the jaw in these patients.
- To compare the incidence of renal dysfunction in these patients.
- To compare the skeletal morbidity rate of these patients, defined as the number of skeletal-related events per year.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to tumor type (breast cancer vs prostate cancer vs multiple myeloma), baseline serum creatinine (≤ 1.4 mg/dL vs > 1.4 mg/dL), prior skeletal-related events (no vs yes), and prior oral bisphosphate use (no vs yes). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive zoledronic acid IV over ≥ 15 minutes. Courses repeat every 4 weeks for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
- Arm II: Patients receive zoledronic acid IV over ≥ 15 minutes. Courses repeat every 12 weeks for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients complete the Brief Pain Inventory questionnaire at baseline and then every 4 weeks for 2 years.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 4 weeks for 2 years from registration.
Eligibility Criteria
- Histologically confirmed diagnosis of one of the following:
- Breast adenocarcinoma
- Prostate adenocarcinoma
- Multiple myeloma
- Has ≥ 1 site of bone metastasis or bone involvement by radiologic imaging, including radiography, computed tomography (CT), PET scan, PET/CT scan, magnetic resonance imaging, bone scan, or skeletal survey
- Indeterminate lesions should be confirmed by a second imaging method
- No known brain metastases
- Patients who develop brain metastases during the study are allowed to continue study treatment as assigned
- ECOG performance status 0-2
- Creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min

Details Our tempered edge-cut nut files produce round-bottom slots for nuts and saddles. Ensure your strings seat properly in the nut without buzzing! Each chrome-alloy steel file has twin 4" cutting edges. Among our most popular tools, these professional files help you get the job done quickly and correctly. What files do I need?Choose nut slotting files that are the same size or no more that a few thousands larger than your individual string gauges. A smaller file can also be rocked side-to-side to widen a slot to the desired size. For example, you can cut a .043" slot with a .042" file by moving it around a bit. Tip: Slotting Tune-o-matic style saddles Nut slotting files work great for metal saddles. Choose your file size as you would when slotting a nut: use the same gauge as the string, or a few thousandths larger. After filing to the desired depth, we suggest polishing the slot with Mitchell's Abrasive Cord to remove file marks and burrs.
Pro Results By txdg from Dallas,Tx (Customer's Reviews) Thursday, March 07, 2013 Bottom line is if you want pro results you have to use pro tools, no way around it, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
Simple is good. By Martin Brunkalla, Luthier from Marengo, IL (Customer's Reviews) Thursday, February 21, 2013 I've tried many different tools and methods for nut slotting over the last thirteen years and have yet to find a more practical and effective means of getting the job done. I have yet to wear one out, even with a few MOP nuts in the mix. You might want to add a "backbone" to the .010" file however. I cut a couple strips of Ipe wood (very stiff) 1/16" X 3/16" X 5-7/8" and ca glued them down the center of each side of the file while holding everything perfectly flat. The wood gives it a nice grip while keeping it straight and rigid. A little bevel on the business end and it still slips into the protective sleeve it came in. I use a little white paraffin to lube the files when they get "bindy" in bone or MOP. Great little (simple) tools.
Tools that perform better than expected. By Bagotti from Arkansas City, Ks (Customer's Reviews) Thursday, February 14, 2013 I recently purchased these nut slotting files and found them to be the perfect solution to a deceptively simple task. Especially for the larger A and E strings
Cuts SLOW! By Dude Guyman from Twin Lake, MI. (Customer's Reviews) Thursday, January 10, 2013 I've only used them on a pre-slotted, plastic nut so far, and it took forever just to deepen the existing cuts a little bit. Like sawing tree branches with a butter knife.
great tool By Gunner3160 from Ogden UT (Customer's Reviews) Wednesday, January 02, 2013 works exactly as advertised. Watch out - it's easy to cut too much! The narrower they are, the faster they cut.
Excellent files By RIX from Sacramento, CA (Customer's Reviews) Friday, December 21, 2012 Excellent file for making exact sized slots in nuts.
Working perfectly, should be better protected By Eros Nicolau from Bucharest, Romania (Customer's Reviews) Saturday, December 08, 2012 For the job, these files work perfectly. The only drawback is that the paint on the handle end gets smudged in minutes of use, so in order not to lose the gauge markings I had to wrap all my files' ends in clear scotch tape for protection. An extra coat of clear lacquer on the handles would be welcome.
Nut Files By MarkD from Illinois (Customer's Reviews) Wednesday, December 05, 2012 Very easy to use and saved me a ton of time. Last nut I cut with swiss files. Turned out good, but since I intend to build several more instruments, seemed like an easy purchase to justify. So much easier to fine tune the depths.
Nut Files By DomenicD from West Chester PA USA (Customer's Reviews) Sunday, November 25, 2012 There is no substitute for having a quality tool to work with. Having tried using a cheap gas torch tip cleaner on previous projects, the StewMac Nut files are the only way to go. The control, ease and speed of task time is appreciated.
Fast Job By omarintintin from Mexico City (Customer's Reviews) Friday, November 23, 2012 This tools definitely allows you to make the job in minutes and whit great results

From the May 19 edition of CNN's State of the Union:
Loading the player reg...
Broadcast and cable Sunday political talk shows featured previously debunked myths about the September 11, 2012 attacks on diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya.
CNN's Candy Crowley asked Sunday if President Obama pursued immigration reform "at the risk of not focusing on the economy," ignoring the fact that experts agree immigration reform will strengthen the economy, leading to higher wages, more jobs, and more tax revenue.
On CNN's State of the Union, Crowley pointed to the contraction in GDP in the last quarter of 2012 and the small increase in unemployment in January, and implied President Obama was not focused on these issues, saying "we've heard since the beginning of January gun control and immigration reform ... Does the President pursue immigration and gun control at the risk of not focusing on the economy?"
In fact, experts agree immigration reform will strengthen the economy. According to UCLA professor and immigration expert Raúl Hinojosa-Ojeda, passing comprehensive immigration reform would add at least $1.5 trillion to the U.S. economy over ten years, generate $4.5 to $5.4 billion in additional net tax revenue, and create 750,000 to 900,000 new jobs. Labor economist Richard Vedder of Ohio University also found that higher levels of immigration coincide with lower levels of unemployment, and a Brookings Institution report concluded that immigrants raise the standard of living of American workers "by boosting wages and lowering prices."
In a post on The Washington Post's Wonkblog, Ezra Klein pointed out that immigration could ease many of the economic problems associated with an aging population and low birth rate:
The economic case for immigration is best made by way of analogy. Everyone agrees that aging economies with low birth rates are in trouble; this, for example, is a thoroughly conventional view of Japan. It's even conventional wisdom about the U.S. The retirement of the baby boomers is correctly understood as an economic challenge. The ratio of working Americans to retirees will fall from 5 to 1 today to 3 to 1 in 2050. Fewer workers and more retirees is tough on any economy.
There's nothing controversial about that analysis. But if that's not controversial, then immigration shouldn't be, either. Immigration is essentially the importation of new workers. It's akin to raising the birth rate, only easier, because most of the newcomers are old enough to work. And because living in the U.S. is considered such a blessing that even very skilled, very industrious workers are willing to leave their home countries and come to ours, the U.S. has an unusual amount to gain from immigration. When it comes to the global draft for talent, we almost always get the first-round picks -- at least, if we want them, and if we make it relatively easy for them to come here.
President Obama has proposed immigration reform that includes a pathway to citizenship for the 11.1 million undocumented immigrants already in the country, better enforcement of immigration laws, and reforming the legal immigration system. According to recent polls, a majority of Americans, including a majority of Republicans, favor allowing undocumented immigrants to eventually become U.S. citizens.
CNN's State of the Union downplayed the economic consequences of not raising the debt ceiling, claiming "there is a way" for the federal government "to pay the bills." Economists, however, have warned that a default would have catastrophic effects. Moreover, even if the federal government could stave off default by prioritizing interest payments, the decline of government spending would create "a massive demand shock to the economy."
On State of the Union, during a discussion of the consequences of failing to raise the debt ceiling, Wall Street Journal editorial board member Stephen Moore downplayed the impact of a default, arguing: "There's no default. The Treasury bills get paid before anything else does." Host Candy Crowley responded by saying, "There is a way to pay the bills, but it is unsettling, you would agree."
But in fact, economists have warned that not raising the debt ceiling would be economically calamitous for the United States. Following Republican threats not to raise the debt ceiling in 2011, Moody's analytics chief economist Mark Zandi warned of the economic ramifications of a possible default, writing that "financial markets would unravel and the U.S. and global economy would enter another severe recession." A June 2011 letter to congressional leaders, signed by 235 prominent economists, warned of the deleterious impact to the U.S. economy if the debt ceiling was not raised:
Failure to increase the debt limit sufficiently to accommodate existing U.S. laws and obligations also could undermine trust in the full faith and credit of the United States government, with potentially grave long-term consequences. This loss of trust could translate into higher interest rates not only for the federal government, but also for U.S. businesses and consumers, causing all to pay higher prices for credit. Economic growth and jobs would suffer as a result.
The Economic Policy Institute noted that even if the federal government were able to prevent default by prioritizing interest payments on the debt, the resultant ceasing of government spending would create "a massive demand shock to the economy." EPI explained:
Even if the Treasury were able to avoid officially defaulting on the debt by prioritizing interest payments, the government would have to immediately cut expenditures by roughly 10 percent of that month's GDP, and more than that as time went on. This means Social Security checks would be cut, doctors would not be reimbursed in full for seeing Medicare and Medicaid patients, and private contractors doing business with the federal government would not be paid. All of this would constitute a massive demand shock to the economy.
A Treasury Department report, titled "Debt Limit: Myth v. Fact," stated that efforts to prioritize payments on the national debt above other legal obligations "would not prevent default, since it would seek to protect only principal and interest payments and not other legal obligations of the United States from non-payment":
Suggestions that Congress could somehow evade responsibility for raising the debt limit by passing legislation to "prioritize" payments on the national debt above other legal obligations of the United States are simply not true. This would not prevent default, since it would seek to protect only principal and interest payments and not other legal obligations of the United States from non-payment. Adopting a policy that payments to investors should take precedence over other U.S. legal obligations would merely be default by another name, since the world would recognize it as a failure by the United States to stand behind its commitments. It would therefore bring about the same catastrophic economic consequences.
CNN host Candy Crowley gave cover to the Republican claim that Americans don't support increasing taxes, allowing Representative Marsha Blackburn to say that Americans "don't want our taxes to go up." In fact, a majority of Americans support increasing taxes on upper-income earners.
On State of the Union, Blackburn (R-TN) argued against President Obama's plan to let the Bush tax cuts expire for the wealthiest two percent of Americans, claiming he does not have support for his proposals. Blackburn said that, in re-electing a Republican majority in the House of Representatives, "the American people have clearly said, we don't want our taxes to go up."
Crowley made no effort to point out that a majority of Americans support increasing taxes on wealthier Americans, a fact her own network has previously noted.
On December 6, CNN reported that a majority of Americans support raising taxes on incomes over $250,000 per year as part of a deficit reduction deal.
Furthermore, national exit polling from the 2012 election revealed that six in ten voters favor increasing taxes. That echoed an October 12 Pew Research Center survey finding that 64 percent of Americans support increasing taxes on households making more than $250,000, and a December 2011 survey concluding that 57 percent of Americans feel the wealthy don't pay their fair share of taxes.
The Washington Post, citing a Washington Post-Pew Research Center poll, reported that "nearly 2 to 1" of Americans will blame Republicans, not Obama, if a deal to avoid the automatic tax increases and spending cuts scheduled for January is not reached.
Four of the five major Sunday morning political shows ignored the issue of job creation and economic growth, which economists and voters say are the most important economic issues facing the nation. Instead, the economic discussion on the November 11 editions of these shows focused almost exclusively on the debate over how to achieve deficit reduction.
Among the participants in the major Sunday shows, NBC's Meet the Press, CBS' Face the Nation, ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, Fox Broacasting's Fox News Sunday, and CNN's State of the Union, only This Week guest Katrina vanden Heuvel pointed out that the exit polls found that voters say the government should focus on job creation rather than deficit reduction.
By contrast, Meet the Press guest Bob Woodward identified deficits and debt as " the big issue" the government must solve. Woodward went on to suggest that Obama should be looking for a "payoff for everyone in the community, not just his base."
WOODWARD: I think the big picture here is that President Obama has got to deliver on the big issue, which is fixing the financial house of the U.S. federal government. It is in disarray. It's not just the fiscal cliff, it's $16 trillion in IOUs out in the world. In a couple of months, in February or March, they are going to have to renegotiate an authority -- lending and borrowing authority -- for another trillion or two dollars, and if the president can fix that and put us on some sort of path of restoration for the economy, that is a payoff for everyone in the community, not just his base.
And he's got to think much more broadly. The job of the president is to find the next stage of good for a real majority and he's capable of doing it.
The Associated Press analyzed data of national exit polls following the presidential election and found that 59 percent of voters interviewed listed the economy as the biggest issue facing the country. In comparison, only 15 percent said that deficits were the most important issue. Similarly, when asked about specific economic concerns, nearly 40 percent of voters said unemployment was the "biggest economic problem facing voters like them."
Economists and other experts also say that job creation and economic growth are the most important issue facing the country.
CNN's Candy Crowley is giving cover to the Republican claim that businesses will not hire due to "uncertainty" over the implementation of the health care law, which has now been endorsed by all three branches of the federal government. In reality, the only uncertainty surrounding the law is being created by Republican threats to repeal it.
On State of the Union, Crowley aided National Republican Senatorial Committee Vice Chair Carly Fiorina's claim that uncertainty over Obamacare would continue to prevent companies from hiring. Crowley said, "And this has been part of the Republican mantra was that big business doesn't know where tax reform is going, they don't know how much new regulation is going to cost them, what kind of infrastructure they'll have to put into their own -- so they're kind of sitting on all this money and not hiring."
By contrast, a June 28 Associated Press article noted that "the health industry -- and company stocks -- still face uncertainty, at least until the November's presidential election. Republicans want to scrap the law."
Furthermore, economists and small business owners say a lack of demand is holding back hiring, not uncertainty.
From the May 20 edition of CNN's State of the Union:

On yesterday's edition of The Five, Eric Bolling gave a decidedly skewed version of history when he said, "America was certainly safe between 2000 and 2008. I don't remember any terrorist attacks on American soil during that period of time."
Media conservatives have done this before.
Candy Crowley made a clunker of a claim in her profile of Sarah Palin on the April 11 edition of CNN's State of the Union. After noting that, as part of her "safe and lucrative" role as a Fox News commentator, Palin has "put her brand" on the show Real American Stories, Crowley said of the show: "The normal Fox News audience is reported to have doubled in the time slot."
We don't know who "reported" that to Crowley, but as we've previously noted, actual ratings reports say quite the opposite. From TV Newser:
While coming in first in its time period -- beating the Total Viewer average of the 10pm programs on MSNBC, CNN and HLN combined -- FNC's "Real American Stories with Sarah Palin" was down substantially versus the performance of "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren" last Thursday as well as that program's Thursday average for the month of March. "Real American Stories" delivered 2.073 million Total Viewers and 472k A25-54 viewers, down 10% versus last Thursday among Total Viewers and down 28% in A25-54. For all Thursdays in March 2010, the "Stories" premiere was down 10% among Total Viewers and down 19% in A25-54.
Looking at quarter hour data, "Real American Stories" shed viewers from start to finish -- down 18% among Total Viewers (2.319mm vs. 1.895mm) and down 22% in A25-54 (533k vs. 418k) from the program's first to its final quarter hour.
Losing audience in the time slot is not the same as "doubling" it.
Lack of diversity on the all important Sunday morning political talk shows is nothing new. As Media Matters noted back in a 2007 report on the subject, "Not only are the Sunday morning talk shows on the broadcast networks dominated by conservative opinion and commentary, the four programs -- NBC's Meet the Press, ABC's This Week, CBS' Face the Nation, and Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday -- feature guest lists that are overwhelmingly white and overwhelmingly male."
At the time of the report's release, not one of the Sunday shows was helmed by a woman or ethnic minority. How did the guests stack up? Not well at all.
Keep in mind, these programs help shape beltway conventional wisdom for the week to come and wield a disproportionate amount of influence over the political chattering class. The lack of a seat at the table for women and ethnic minorities spoke directly to the old boys club that has long dominated Washington politics and media.
The 2007 report didn't take into account the less influential Sunday morning political talk shows on cable networks like CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC but the results -- at least when it comes to hosts -- would have been much the same. All white. All men.
This year things have changed a bit.
In February when it was announced that long-time senior political correspondent Candy Crowley would be taking over as host for John King on CNN's State of the Union it was hard to find a story that didn't make prominent mention of her recent post-campaign weight loss.
It is one thing to be critical of Crowley's past work, just as we have been from time to time. It is quite another to fixate on her physical appearance. Asked about the subject, Crowley was quoted as saying, "Would I have gotten the job without having lost the weight? I don't know. That's an X factor... Does the refrigerator light stay on when you close the door? We'll never know." She went on to say, "I readily admit I'm not the most obvious pick, from a purely cosmetic point of view... I'm not going to argue that when you turn on the TV, you basically get young, blonde, thin women. This is changing."
I certainly hope it is changing but only time will tell.
Similarly, earlier this month word came down that CNN's Christiane Amanpour would be leaving the cable network to helm ABC's This Week - the first woman ever with full-time hosting duties on a broadcast network Sunday show.
Cue the back-biting and second guessing, much of it anonymous.
As Mediaite's Steve Krakauer noted:
ABC News staffers have talked anonymously about their concerns over the hiring, and columnists like Tom Shales have aggressively disagreed with the choice.
Then there's CNN's John King who felt the need to throw out some questions about Amanpour's selection during a recent interview stating, "There are a lot of questions. Christiane does not have a lot of experience covering American politics and so how does she fit in on ABC on Sunday morning? I'll leave that to them to figure out. It is an interesting pick, it is an unorthodox choice, I think that's just self-evident...I'll watch how it plays out with everyone else."
Get that? There are lots of questions. She's not experienced covering American politics. But I'll leave ABC News to answer these questions...questions I've just thrown out to you like red meat to the media circus lions in my best impersonation of a Fox News chyron.
Regardless of what you think of these recent hirings, they are a long overdue step in the right-direction. Women and ethnic minorities bring a different world of experience to the table. They need not be booked solely for the purpose of discussing issues important to women and ethnic minorities as is far too often the case.
The Washington press corps is change averse. It's a stodgy, self-perpetuating, conventional wisdom driven world. It could use a little more, dare I say a great deal more, change.
From the March 7 edition of CNN's State of the Union:
Loading the player reg...
From the February 28 edition of CNN's State of the Union with Candy Crowley:
Loading the player reg...
With Candy Crowley set to take over CNN's Sunday State of the Union broadcast, let's take a moment to review some of her most memorable moments.
And the time Crowley claimed Democrats "message" was "we don't support the troops and we're not tough on national security."
Or the time Crowley said it wasn't her job to tell viewers which politicians were lying more.
Or the time Crowley accused then-presidential candidate Barack Obama of rooting for economic difficulties.
That's the kind of track record that gets you a high-profile gig hosting a Sunday political talk show on CNN.
News came down over the weekend that Candy Crowley will replace John King as host of CNN's Sunday political talk show, State of the Union.
Few in The Village have taken to bolstering conventional wisdom at the expense of real, truth-seeking journalism like Crowley. It looks like she'll fit right in on Sunday mornings. After all, the all-important network political chat shows could use another host with a penchant for allowing glaringly false misinformation to go unchallenged.
More on Crowley, here.

Nuclei decay when they contain too many neutrons or too many protons to be stable. The most commons forms of decay are nuclear fission and alpha, beta and gamma decay. However, some nuclei that contain more protons than neutrons can also decay by emitting a proton -- a process that was first observed about 20 years ago.
Single-proton emission is observed in nuclei with an odd number of protons. However, theorists also predicted that some nuclei that contain an even number of protons and/or neutrons could undergo two-proton emission. This process was seen for the first time in 2002 in iron-45, which contains 26 protons and 19 neutrons. The iron-45 nuclei were created by firing a beam of nickel-58 ions onto a nickel or beryllium target.
Now, Bertram Blank of the CENBG laboratory in France and colleagues have created zinc-54 -- which contains 30 protons and 24 neutrons -- in a similar experiment involving nickel-58 ions and a nickel target at the GANIL laboratory. The zinc-54 nuclei were created in about 1 in 1017 of the collisions, and Blank and co-workers found that the proton energy and decay half-life of about 3.7 milliseconds both agreed with predictions.
"Having a second two-proton emitter allows for a first real comparison between theory and experiment, which is somewhat difficult to make with just one case," Blank told PhysicsWeb. "Two is better than one and hopefully there will be more."
The group now plans to search for other two-proton emitters. It will also study iron-45 and zinc-54 in more detail with a time projection chamber that will be able to follow the paths of the two protons. "In this way we can study the correlations between the two protons and better understand the emission process itself," says Blank.

gittin' jiggy wit' it
Another treated me like a king...she did everything, and i mean everything! Lol. But she turned out to be the biggest baroom coktease in the place. She had an unhealthy dependence on negative attention from men. Another cheated on me with my best friend. Another was so into herself, always checking to make sure she looked perfect, and was really into material ****. Very superficial. I'm not intimidated by pretty women. That's all i've had. and others were ending a relationship as ours was starting, and when it ended, i seen both of them with another guy the next day...lol. I don't care what you say Kev...beautiful girls are mostly fuked in the head one way or another. They're the ones who are insecure, cuz they know guys just like 'em cuz of their looks. Guys humor them to get laid and they know it. Or other guys with less emotional control fall in love too easy, mistaking lust for love, and intensity for intimacy. I been through the "it's hard to leave a beautiful girl" thing a few times, but i had to or go insane. I'd rather have my sanity and peace of mind than a beautiful woman you can't trust for ****. |

Milkweed This herb
produces red and yellow blossoms in the spring
which are less than an inch across. The 5 outside
petals, or corolla, are red and curve down. The 5
inside petals are hooded and yellow or orange. They
grow in a cluster at the top of woody stems
milkweed has a white, poisonous sap from which it
gets its name, and can grow to be 2 to 3 1/2 feet.
It has big leaves that can grow to be 9 inches -1
foot long. The seeds, which grow in a pod, have a
silky tuft of hair which allows them to be blown by
the wind like little parachutes. It attracts
bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Monarch
butterflies particularly like it , just like
butterfly weed, which is in the same family.
Milkweed is the flower of choice for Monarchs in
North America. Milkweed is a native plant of the South American grasslands. It can be found in southern Canada, and the central United States, but its favorite place to grow is South America. by Becky W. 2000.

AMBER Alert Netherlands
The Dutch nationwide alert system for urgent cases of missing children and child abductions
Help us!
About AMBER Alert
What is the Dutch AMBER Alert?
The Dutch AMBER Alert is the nationwide alert system for urgent cases of missing children and child abductions. With over 2 million participants and participating organizations, it is
the most successful citizen participation initiative in the Netherlands
and a great example of effective
AMBER Alert was launched in 2008 by
social enterprise
and the
Dutch police
. The green light was given on 11 November 2008 by the Minister of Justice at the time,
Hirsch Ballin
The Dutch AMBER Alert is part of AMBER Alert Europe.
Where did the term AMBER Alert originate?
AMBER Alert Netherlands is based on the American
AMBER Alert Plan
that has saved the lives of
approximately 600 children
. The system is named after
Amber Hagerman
from Arlington, Texas. In 1996, nine year old Amber was abducted while riding her bike in her neighborhood, and was killed soon after. All global AMBER Alert initiatives aim to alert as many people as possible when a child goes missing or is abducted. The more people who are on the lookout for a child, the better the chance the child is found quickly and unharmed. Time is of the essence to an abducted child.
What is an AMBER Alert?
An AMBER Alert is an emergency message, issued by the Dutch police when a child is abducted or missing when the police fears the child's life or health is in danger. The system enables the police to immediately alert all and ask them to be on the lookout for the child in question.
When an AMBER Alert is issued, the picture of the AMBER Alert child is instantly visible everywhere: on TVs, highway signs, billboards, signs in buses, and on thousands of
. Also, over 2 million AMBER Alert messages are sent out via
, highly increasing the chances of a positive outcome.
In the last few years, an average of four AMBER Alerts were issued yearly. In
64 percent
of these cases, the child was found thanks to tips on the AMBER Alert. This makes AMBER Alert the
most successful citizen participation initiative in the Netherlands
and a great example of effective
Who is responsible for issuing AMBER Alerts?
The Dutch police, or the
National Bureau for Missing Persons (LBVP)
is responsible for the content of the
AMBER Alerts
. The police has set strict AMBER Alert
AMBER Alert is a joint initiative of the Dutch police and software company
How do I know whether an AMBER Alert child has been found?
When a child for which an AMBER Alert has been issued is found, this will be published on our
and on the
news section of this site
What is the difference between AMBER Alert and Burgernet?
An AMBER Alert is issued when a child is abducted or missing and there are fears that the child's life or health is in danger. This means that this system is only used in
very urgent
missing children cases. An AMBER Alert is always issued nationally and appears on a large number of different media: highway signs, TV, websites and Digital Signage screens. It is also issued using media such as Twitter, Facebook, SMS text messages and e-mail. This means that the image of the missing AMBER Alert child is literally visible everywhere.
In order to receive AMBER Alerts, please
register here
and follow in the footsteps of over 2 million people and thousands of organizations that have done so already.
is a local system that alerts citizens by voicemail or SMS text message if an incident occurs in their neighborhood. It invites participants to watch out for suspicious persons, missing vehicles, etc. Citizens who would like to participate need to register on the Burgernet
What is the difference between AMBER Alert and NL Alert?
An AMBER Alert is issued when a child is abducted or missing and
there are fears that the child's life or health is in danger
. An AMBER Alert is always issued nationally and on a large number of different media: Twitter, Facebook, SMS text messages, e-mail, highway signs, TVs, radio, websites and Digital Signage screens. This means that the image of the missing child is literally visible everywhere.
In order to receive AMBER Alerts, please register
and follow in the footsteps of over 2 million people and thousands of organizations.
NL Alert
is a new alert system that allows the Dutch government to warn citizens in case of a disaster, in addition to the sirens that are currently used. NL-Alert allows the government to send a short text-only message (no images) to mobile phones in a specific area, for instance if there are dangerous toxics in the air. You do not need to register for NL-Alert; however, your phone settings do need to be
set correctly
to be able to receive NL-Alert messages. Not all phones are able to receive NL-Alert messages.
AMBER Alert criteria
When is an AMBER Alert issued?
A few times a year, there are missing children cases in which the child runs a much greater risk than usual. For instance, when a child has been abducted by a stranger. The AMBER Alert system was developed for these cases.
Read more about the criteria for an AMBER Alert
We also bring public attention to other missing children cases for which no AMBER Alert was issued. For this, we use our
Why not issue an AMBER Alert whenever a child goes missing?
An AMBER Alert turns the whole country upside down. In order for AMBER Alerts to remain effective, we have to ensure that people will continue to notice the picture of the AMBER Alert child. This would not be the case if an alert was issued daily. That is why
strict criteria
are set; an AMBER Alert is issued only in the most urgent cases of child abductions or disappearances. The use of AMBER Alerts in less urgent cases would diminish the effect of the system. Unfortunately, children go missing every day in the Netherlands; mostly children that run away from home. Thankfully, most of these children are found in good health after a period of time. Of course, in most of these cases, publicity can help find the child more quickly. That is why we use
to ask for your help to find these children.

In order for AMBER Alerts to remain effective, we have to ensure that people will continue to notice the picture of the AMBER Alert child. This would not be the case if an alert was issued daily. Of course, other cases of child disappearances are also important, and, in some of these cases, publicity can help find the child more quickly. That is why we use Twitter and Facebook and sometimes targeted SMS text messages in the area where the child went missing, to ask for your help to find these children.
Education and information
What can I tell my child on the topic of 'abduction'?
Luckily child abductions seldom occur. However, it is still important to tell your child what to do when faced with an (attempted) abduction. That is why the
National Missing Persons Bureau (LBVP)
, part of the Dutch national police provides some tips for parents on discussing this topic with their child(ren). This material can also be used by teachers to discuss the subject with their pupils.

I came across this painting today and thought I'd post it for this topic. It is an older painting, but since I don't have time to do something new this week, I thought it might be okay. Besides, for being such a quick little painting, I sure have grown to like it a lot. Enjoy.

Hi folks. I entered my wife Lorien in a Sarah Palin look-alike contest the other day and she was selected as one of five finalists. She didn't know I nominated her and I don't know if she was very happy about it, but she's a good sport. You can read more about it at her blog. Now she needs your votes. Click here to cast your ballots.
Below is her TV debut. (if I posted it right)

Old (Zombie) Goat
A couple students, Jed Henry and Jake Wyatt, stopped by yesterday for a little studio visit. I was showing them how I prep paintings. Jed told me to draw a goat, which didn't feel Halloweenie enough, so I made it a zombie goat. It was mostly just a lousy sketch with some thin colors on it, but today I decided to finish it up. I think it'll make a nice addition to the Gallery O' Terror.

In some places just rain or no rain, in others very heavy snow from so much more evaporation from Global Warming.
No grass in the yard, must be the drought.
Don't know if anyone know Lalo, or if ever checks out these comments; but thought he might find this a good cause. It is about frivolous lawsuits destroying small Latino businesses.

The various TV channels that show historical or scientific documenaries keep showing programs that demonstrate that climate has always changed, with the implicit understanding that it happens no matter what man does. For example, be sure to watch the documentary on the Little Ice Age, or any documentary on the big Ice Ages (especially the ones showing we are still coming out of the last one or how North America is still rebounding from the loss of all that ice which helps account for the sinking of New Orleans). A particularly interesting documentary recently was on the annual melting of the Antarctic sea ice, showing it is a normal cycle and not the catastrophe that the Warmists are trying to make it. These are straight-forward science shows with nary a hint of political bias…as opposed to the Warmists' fear-mongering.
We know the climate has always changed. It never has changed this fast and done by human action alone. That is the difference. And it will only get worse.
You miss the part about 50% of the ice sheet has permanently melted over the past 50 years and doesn't come back.
You also missed the part where minor climate change causes widespread famine and aggivated the Black Plague which killed half of Europe.
You know, I have never even chuckled slightly at his comic strip. It's like MSNBC of the funnies, only it isn't.

What do you look for in a fan fic?

Re: What do you look for in a fan fic?
Personally, I look for a collection of vignettes / stand-alone stories that help fill in the blanks character-development-wise. I love a good slam-bang battle-scene entry but every now & then, I like a slow, suggestive / steamy bedroom scene to start things off.
I personally think the TOS, TNG, DS9. VOY stories & characters are mostly played-out. I like to see "lower decks" stories or all-new/original crews, ships, et al.
Post-Dominion War-era (ie: "Star Trek: Titan") perhaps on a frankenstein fleet vessel, or a story / series in the TMP-era set on a Loknar-Class or Phobos-Class vessel with ~NO~ references to Chapel, Spock, or Kirk. Maybe a spin-off from Sulu/Excelsior or Chekov or Styles (Enterprise-B).

For The Stans

More of the Armani/Knowles connection. Beyonce models a Giorgio Armani suit in the new issue of Fashion Rocks:
[Fashion Rocks is] a special magazine that will be included with the September issues of Vogue, GQ, Vanity Fair and Allure magazines. The magazine is a tie-in with the big Fashion Rocks concert at Radio City Music Hall on the opening night of Fashion Week in New York on September 5.
We have to admit looks aiight in that editorial swag, but then again it's kinda hard not to look good in Armani.

You need to update your blog more often, IMHO!
After PlatformPro's introductory post in Oct 14th I was eagerly waiting for news, trying to make my mind up about buying a license, unaware that 1.1 and plenty of important features came out in the meanwhile.
It's not only having your potential and current clients informed, it's a powerful markting tool and fan base builder as I'm sure you are aware.
Update your blog more often

Note on finding copies of programs: |
Unfortunately I lack the time or resources to help people find copies of anime television programs. I have put together a web List of Online Video and Book Stores that will be useful to find copies in the United States, some other countries, and one Japanese store. There are other similar stores on the Internet around the world that might be able to supply the DVDs, LDs, VCDs, or video tapes that are desired. Check my Japanese Animation Information page for links to Internet resources that may have further information. I am not involved in trading materials from my own collection. I am still waiting to see most of the programs in this List of Anime Television Series and would be happy to find sources for many of them. Because of these circumstances I will not respond to requests for help to find these types of materials. |

Was waiting for the update on whether last night's meal was the 'best steak in town'. Pictures are wonderful, not sure about the bumpy flight though, take care Julie xx
Trip Start
Nov 14, 2011
Trip End
May 13, 2012
Up early this morning for a very bumpy 1.75 hour flight west to Mendoza.
Mendoza is situated on the eastern side of the Andes and the views towards the Andes are rather grand.
Pete and I have fallen on our feet regarding our hotel accommodation, we have been put in a suite with bedroom, large bathroom, lounge and dining area and a kitchen. Don't quite know how that has happened but better make the most of it as soon we will be living in a camper van.
Time for a nod before meeting the group for lunch and then we are heading out to explore some of the city with our guide.

San Jose Solar Company Breaks Efficiency Record for PV
Solar Junction, a San Jose-based manufacturer of concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) cells, announced Monday that it had broken the world record for energy efficiency of a production solar cell. According to the company, it measured a record 44% rate of conversion of sunlight to electrical energy in its cells, a result that has been verified by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
CPV modules use optics such as lenses or mirrors to concentrate the sun's light on small, highly efficient photovoltaic cells. The 44% efficiency achieved by Solar Junction's cells is about twice that in readily available flat-panel PV modules. The previous record of 43.5% set in April 2011, was also held by Solar Junction's cells.
"Breaking our own world record cements Solar Junction as an innovator and leader in the multi-junction cell space," Vijit Sabnis, VP Technology at Solar Junction, said in a press release. "We continue to push technological boundaries to further drive CPV costs down."
The PV component of Solar Junction's solar cells use "multijunction" technology, in which several layers of photovoltaic material are stacked, each one sensitive to a different band of light wavelengths. The cells are made with III-V semiconductors as the photovoltaic element: III-V semiconductors are those made of compounds of elements in the boron and nitrogen "families."
Though flat-panel photovoltaics are hard to compete with on price alone, SolarJunction aims to bring its products power conversion efficiency to the point where it can compete on a dollars-per-kilowatt basis with thin film PV, which offer real-world efficiencies as low as 1/3 that of Solar Junction's products. Other CPV companies like Amonix have learned this the hard way. Solar Junction points out that converting more sun into electricity could mean less land use for PV arrays -- though cheaper, more efficient modules could just as easily mean more land converted to PV power production. Still Solar Junction's breakthrough offers the possibility of better integration of power generation into more fragmented urban landscapes. As Solar Junction has just acquired a new round of financing, and plans to launch a manufacturing plant in the Bay Area in 2013, it may well make the possibility a reality.
