The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has demanded a probe by a sitting judge into the charges of corruption levelled against the six-year Congress rule in the State, particularly during the regime of former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy.
Addressing a press conference here on Saturday, general secretary of the party Varla Ramaiah said that TDP had been repeatedly accusing the previous YSR government and the present government of large-scale corrupt activities. It was reiterated by none other than Congress Working Committee member G. Venkataswamy on Friday.
Only a probe by a sitting judge would bring out facts about all charges of corruption on last six years' Congress rule.

Imagining livable streets
What are cities like when they are designed for people? How do the streets look like when the human is put before the car?
Thu, Apr 09, 2009 at 05:17 PM
Good Magazine has put together another great green infographic -- this time showing what a city street would look if it were built with liveability in mind.
What does a busy city street look like when it's not designed primarily for the car? We could reduce a lot of our transportation emissions with a good smart redesign of how we get around. It's all there. We just have to pull it off the shelf and use it.
Go take a look, it reminds me a lot of Boulder.

Control of invasive American bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus in small shallow water bodies
- Gerald Louette,

Setting up cost-efficient control programs for alien invasive species requires the development of adequate removal methods in combination with insights in population size and dynamics. American bullfrog Lithobates catesbeianus is an alien invasive species, which is suspected to cause substantial ecological damage around the globe. However, control of bullfrog populations is difficult, as no conclusive management measures have yet been determined. We investigated how double fyke nets could contribute to bullfrog management by assessing the tadpole population size in 10 permanent small shallow water bodies. Two population size estimate methods were applied, being the catch–depletion and mark–recapture method. Catchability of bullfrog tadpoles proved to be very consistent over ponds and methods, with one catch per unit of effort (one double fyke net for 24 h) retaining on average 6 % of the tadpole population. Population density varied considerably among ponds, ranging from 950 to 120,804 larger tadpole individuals/ha. Using these insights in developing a cost-efficient eradication program for the species, we projected the number of catch efforts needed to reduce tadpole numbers to a threshold that more than likely affects final bullfrog population size. Predictions indicated that for the specified thresholds the use of eight double fyke nets at a time is most cost-efficient in high abundance populations, while using five double fyke nets seems most suitable in low abundance populations. What the exact threshold number of remaining tadpole individuals should be is uncertain, but forecasts demonstrate that only half of the budget would be needed when aiming at a drop to fewer than 100 remaining tadpoles than when a decrease to fewer than 10 remaining tadpoles is pursued. Given the fairly limited cost of bullfrog management with double fyke nets, however, it may be worthwhile to fully reduce the tadpole population.

consentration of boats for sale in Florida
I guess I should say that I was under the impression that the harbor was shallow. But upon reflection, this came from my ex-brother in law who powerboated on the northern portion and was bit of a wank anyway.
When I used to poke around in that area looking for boats I hooked up with a local broker who showed me many boats that weren''t listed on the web. If I remember correctly I got his number from a boat I found at Trader Online. At the time there seemed to be only two used sailboat brokers.
Now thinking back on it REAL hard, most of the boats I looked at were in Port Charlotte, just to the north of Punta Gorda, and were on the network of canals on the sea side of the bridge.

A senior Chinese official arrived in North Korea on Saturday in what is seen as a mission to jump-start stalled international talks on ending the reclusive state's nuclear weapons programmes.
Wang Jiarui, head of the liaison office of China's ruling Communist Party, got off an airport bus in the capital Pyongyang and shook hands with a North Korean official, according to footage aired by television broadcaster APTN in Pyongyang.
Mr. Wang was to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and deliver a message from Chinese President Hu Jintao, South Korea's Dong—a Ilbo newspaper reported on Saturday, citing unidentified South Korean presidential officials.
The four-day trip is part of a regular exchange of visits by the long-time allies, it said.
Calls to the presidential office seeking comment went unanswered on Saturday.
Mr. Wang met Mr. Kim during a January 2009 trip to Pyongyang. Mr. Kim said then that North Korea was "dedicated to the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula" and wanted to move international talks forward, according to Beijing's Xinhua News Agency.
China is North Korea's biggest trading partner, a key aid donor and a long-time ally dating back to the 1950-53 Korean War. Its influence is seen as crucial in getting the North to return to the six-nation disarmament talks, which have been stalled since late 2008.
Also on Saturday, a special envoy for U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon arrived in Seoul and said he had an "excellent discussion" with South Korean officials ahead of a visit to North Korea.
During his February 9-12 trip to Pyongyang, U.N. political chief B. Lynn Pascoe, will urge North Korea to rejoin the nuclear talks and discuss its relations with the world body, a U.N. official in New York said on condition of anonymity, citing policy.
"We expect to talk about the entire range of issues while we are up there (in North Korea)," Mr. Pascoe told reporters in Seoul, without elaborating. He later met with South Korean Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan.
North Korea, which tested an atomic bomb last year and is believed to have enough weaponised plutonium for at least a half dozen more, walked away from the disarmament talks last year.
The other participants, China, the U.S., Japan, South Korea and Russia, have been trying to get the talks back on track. North Korea, however, has pushed Washington for a peace treaty to formally end the Korean War and a lifting of sanctions first.
This week, Assistant U.S. Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said no discussion about political or economic sanctions can take place before the disarmament talks are back on.
There also has been speculation in recent weeks that North Korean leader Mr. Kim may travel to China soon. Beijing extended an invitation to Mr. Kim last year to visit at his convenience.
Mr. Kim has visited China and Russia, the North's two major remaining allies, by train. He last travelled to China in 2006.
He had planned to travel to Beijing in late January but cancelled his plans, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said.

Aussie aid exec: Aid for Mindanao hinges on fleshing out 'Framework Agreement'
More News from Germelina Lacorte
More News from Inquirer Mindanao
DAVAO CITY, Philippines – The coming in of more international aid for the development of Mindanao hinges on the fleshing out of the Framework Agreement recently signed by the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, an Australian aid executive said.
"As the annexes of the agreement become clearer, so are the opportunities for us trying to find ways to assist the Philippine government," said Geoff King, counselor in the Philippines for the Australian Aid for International Development (AusAid).
Speaking to reporters last Wednesday during the awarding of some P20 million in grants to 11 Philippine-Australian Community Assistance Program (Pacap) projects in Mindanao and the Visayas here, King said donor countries such as Australia wanted to see what the agreement really was all about so they would know in what areas they could really help.
"Until we really know what the details are, we will have to wait," he said.
But King said he could already envision that the new agreement would usher in "more opportunities" for aid, in the case of education for example.
He said Australia was "thrilled to see the signing of the framework, a watershed moment for the Philippines."
King said this early, AusAid was looking forward to building more schools and training more teachers in areas previously affected by conflict in Mindanao.
Currently, AusAid focuses on boosting education in Mindanao and is considered one of the single largest donors to the Philippines, with some P5.5 billion in grants for 2012 and 2013.
"We are trying to integrate schools program, working to build schools, train teachers and providing structures for schools; we are already working in the area," King said.

Terror without doubt
Publication Date : 05-07-2012
Karl Marx may have miscalculated the shelf life of profound social upheavals but his self-declared motto to an interviewer — "doubt everything" — could be a useful starting point for some journalists.
In particular, the questioning spirit must become mandatory if the beat involves keeping an eye on the tangled web of zealous states and their use of multi-layered agencies to hoodwink their own citizens among others.
It is curious that often those that should be the prime suspect as sources of disinformation are not confronted with simple questions journalists are taught to ask. On the other hand, many scribes assume the role of Squealer, George Orwell's propagandist pig, by faithfully transmitting official handouts as credible news.
Technology has not helped. The race to break the story on TV has found the media tripping up badly. What is the gain from such reckless hurry if the difference between Sarabjeet Singh and Surjeet Singh mocks their enterprise? Were they not required to report, with a degree of accuracy, which of the two condemned Indians was actually released from the Pakistani jail?
It gets that much more worrying when the error in a narrative had crept in not in a reporter's hurry to beat the deadline but was carefully inserted fiction. It doesn't seem to matter if a fellow journalist is at the receiving end of a sloppy or tendentious reporting. The ordeal of Iftikhar Geelani and Syed Mohammed Kazmi is a case in point.
You could have easily spotted the malevolent hand of the state apparatus after a so-called recorded confession of a convict was thrown out by the apex court as bad evidence in the parliament case but it got prime time TV on a premier New Delhi channel — a bizarre attempt to deny the man acquittal, which he got nevertheless.
Goebbels would blush at today's democracies that use the media to wage wars, declare emergencies, suspend civil liberties and even impose press censorship. The United States went a step further when it successfully hoodwinked its own top official with inspired disinformation as a step to occupy Iraq.
"Yes, a blot, a failure will always be attached to me and my UN presentation," writes Colin Powell, the former US secretary of state in a new book that draws on his experience in the Iraq war. "I am mad mostly at myself for not having smelled the problem. My instincts failed me."
Powell makes a spectacle of himself as he laments that no intelligence official had the "courage" to warn that he was given false information that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction during preparations for his February 2003 briefing to the UN.
Powell's unsupported assertions of mobile Iraqi biological warfare labs and a "sinister nexus" between Iraq and al-Qaeda terrorists, was based on "deeply flawed" evidence. "So why did no one stand up and speak out during the intense hours we worked on the speech?" Powell writes.
As I write this the foreign secretaries of India and Pakistan have finished their first round of talks and are meeting again to set the stage for a foreign ministerial meeting, followed possibly by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to Pakistan.
Practically every time the two countries are about to mend fences something catastrophic happens to distract them. There are people in New Delhi that don't want the prime minister to go to Pakistan.
So how could Jalil Abbas Jilani and Ranjan Mathai, the foreign secretaries of Pakistan and India, meet without the naysayers subverting the proceedings? The hawks' case was shored up when a fugitive was deported from Saudi Arabia into the safe arms of Indian sleuths two weeks before the talks.
I have watched this game before — the handing over of seven Sikh hijackers of an Indian plane to India by Dubai. This was probably in 1983, a year before Indira Gandhi was assassinated. Then we witnessed the arrest of Hashim Qureshi the mysterious hijacker of the Ganga, the Indian plane he commandeered to Lahore and destroyed. The incident had prompted India to shut its air corridor to Pakistani troops flying to battle the Bengali upsurge in 1971.
Qureshi was arrested under L.K. Advani's watch, the former home minister, the self-styled iron man. Not much later, the hijacker greeted me with aerated drinks and branded potato chips in his prison cell in Srinagar. Suddenly he was freed and projected as a chief ministerial hopeful of Jammu and Kashmir. Men at work?
The iron man also let off the seven hijackers, probably as part of the condition Dubai had set for deporting them. These incidents are a journalist's challenge to explore but I have yet to see anything informative in India's mainstream media.
To me, the latest case of "deportation" raises as many questions as it purports to answer. The first question that comes to mind is: has Saudi Arabia helped India in showing up Pakistan's ISI spy agency as a bastion of international terror?
If that be so my question is instantly elevated to one about a tectonic diplomatic shift in Riyadh, not one related to a mere repatriation of a dubious suspect in the Mumbai carnage of November 2008. Whoever Abu Jundal is and whatever his role in the targeted massacre of unsuspecting people — innocent Indians and foreigners alike — he could only have been deported by the Saudi intelligence to New Delhi with a thorough assessment of the diplomatic pros and cons vis-a-vis Pakistan. It would be farfetched to imagine that Jundal was dispatched to India with the consent of the Pakistani spy agency. Was he then handed over with the full knowledge that the Saudi favour to India would be seen by Pakistan as a betrayal by Riyadh with which Islamabad has had a long and intimate bonding?
Going by the official Indian account of Jundal's deportation, the implications are huge and diplomatic. They are enormous, not because the captive has helped nail parts of Pakistan's state apparatus as complicit in the Mumbai tragedy.
That is already a given. There are any number of Pakistani journalists who will agree with India's assertion of ISI's complicity. The bigger question is about the bigger implications of this big catch. Any doubts?

For years, South African sprinter Oscar Pistorius has been trying to prove that he can compete at the highest levels of sports. He fought his ban from track and field and won the right to compete at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, though he didn't qualify for the games. He's been accused of unfairly gaining an advantage over the competition not with steroids or blood doping, but because Pistorius has no legs.
It's a heartwarming story that's been told and retold many times over the past several years, and many people were hoping that a Paralympic athlete could indeed prove he could compete at the pinnacle of his sport. But as it turns out, competing in "regular" track and field events isn't the only way Pistorius is trying to be a mainstream athlete. Unfortunately, he apparently picked up on the whole "hitting women" thing too.
Because I read the Australian sports sections so you don't have to, I ran across this on ABC NEWS (that's Australian Broadcasting Corporation, mate):
Sergeant Miranda Stoltz told South Africa's eTV that Pistorius, who spent the night in jail after the arrest on Saturday, was due to appear in court soon.
He was first arrested for assault after slamming a door on a woman, but police later changed the charge to common assault, Sergeant Stoltz said, adding that his family and friends claim it was just an accident.
I've had doors accidentally slammed on me. I've accidentally slammed doors on people. It hurts like a sonofabitch, but never once have I considered having that person (or myself) thrown in the slammer for it. Maybe she fell into a lamp, too, while she was at it? That seems to be a more common WAG excuse for turning up with bruises, from what I've heard.
The world - especially the disabled world - was pulling for Pistorius to make history with his prosthetic legs. But this may serve (may serve) as a cautionary tale once again about the dangers of deifying athletes. Just because someone's a hard luck story doesn't mean they're an angel. Hopefully, though, sometimes a slammed door is just a slammed door.

I came to know about AGEs from an anti-ageing book and started to search for some products in iherb and I got it. I'm amazed iherb carry such unique products. LivOn Lab has the technology to bring the supplement direct into your blood vessel for absorption. I can't tell if it works, but one bonus i get is I can sleep better without taking melatonin. However this formula does not include carnosine which is also an important item to block AGE.
Amazing product and even amazing prices

I wasn't sure if it was working until I started taking probiotics to help absorption of nutrients. I took a break and took a course of probiotics before I started back on Age blocker and Liposomal C and now I am really noticing the benefits from it. Particularly this Age blocker is helping to reduce carbohydrate and sugar (same thing) craving! I also tend to get tired by mid day but this has been helping my energy level to stay the same all day. I take it first thing in the morning, gulp it with organise juice. Will continue taking it.
Excellent delivery !

Ocean version of iFishing
Saltwater is a stand alone game, based on iFishing. In fact, it's the same game but played around open waters where, obviously, you can fish different species and techniques differ a little. Gameplay is exactly the same as its mother game, so if you played it you can move onto this or alternate both. By the way, pay attention to the beautiful day and night cycles and the excellent work with environmental sounds.
Of course, there are new tournaments and areas to explore, and more fishing tips in case you run out of battery and want to actually go fishing. What we don't like is that, in the end, it adds nearly nothing to the original game and it would be a great chance to add more languages (at least to know what have you caught, which it may be pretty difficult for a non-native English speaker) and some major improvements in gameplay.
Anyway, if you liked iFishing, you'll love Saltawater version, and don't forget there's a whitewater version.
News: iFishing Saltwater 2 is now available with HD graphics!
- 10 tournaments with unlockable locations will keep you playing for a long time. Instead of lakes, explore large ocean areas.
- Variety of lures with different actions (jigs, topwater, spoons, divers)
- Many species of saltwater fish to catch (blue marlin, swordfish, bluefin tuna, sharks, greater amberjack, red snapper, goliath grouper, barracuda, false albacore, flaming angel, knobbed porgy, nassau grouper, mackerel, permit, pompano, roosterfish, and tarpon
- Use the accelerometer to cast, jig, aim your lure, and fight fish.
- Exciting fish fights while keeping the line tension in check, even see them jump!
- Use the fish finder and drive your boat to seek out the best places to fish
- Advanced fish AI, including schooling behavior, lure preferences, and hotspots based on structure such as dropoffs, weeds, reefs, and logs
- Practice, Tournament modes
- Day/night cycle and relaxing ocean ambient sounds
- Trophy room to keep track of your biggest fish ever caught.

Its ok
My fishing buddy keeps telling me to set the hook.
I have had it, it is really fun but I always go on trips and I bring my tablet and I try to play this game but I can not play it because it needs WiFi. Please fix that and once it is done I will give a five star rating.
It ise to be a great time filler when you have bad Internet service but the new update has ads poping up constantly! The point of fishing is to relax not exit out of ads with every stop or cast! Please fix!!!!
Not bad

Haley Richardson
Haley Richardson joined the New York Public Radio Archives department in 2010 to digitize, catalog, and present online hundreds of hours' worth of WNYC recordings from the 1930s to 1970s for a National Endowment for ...
In this 1965 broadcast of a Books and Authors Luncheon, critic Marya Mannes discusses American women, including the work of Helen Gurley Brown, who had recently achieved success with her book Sex and the Single Girl (1962).
Maurice Dolbier, host of this broadcast, introduces Mannes as a writer who "fights against those forces, be they blind or conscious, that are acting to turn living people in to cold statistics ... [and] against the distortion of truths and the debasing of tastes." Indeed, he says, Mannes's But Will it Sell?, published the year before this broadcast, is one of her "most effective rounds."
During her talk, Mannes confesses that all writers want to be liked by intellectuals and people alike, but this success has eluded her, and she has finally hit upon the reason why: "Odd as it may seem, I am too inhibited to write what I know...No, I finally discovered, really, what is the matter with me, and that is that I am not Helen Gurley Brown."
Despite having been single (at times) and worked in an office (at times), Mannes says she likes men too much to think of them as "somethings to be snared, like a rabbit." In fact, the main difference between Mannes and Brown is "that she tells girls how to unbutton their blouses, and I tell people how to unbutton their minds -- the former is far more profitable."
Mannes continues to discuss But Will It Sell? and the differences between men and women as she has observed them to be. Her biting social commentary sends the audience -- made up of mostly women -- into frequent peels of laughter and feels decidedly timely, given today's discussion of women's lives.

This is a removable mount for the Kinect. It should fit very tightly and you can use a flat screw driver to unlock the clips. You can also break them and print the small clips for future use of the mount. It is loosely inspired by Henkka's and Chooch Kinect supports.

I got a very good result on a Replicator 2 using PLA plastic and medium quality preset.
Note that the clip (kb-hook) must be printed lying on a side.
Once you printed 2 clips and the base, push the clips from the bottom up through the base with the clip's hook facing outside.

The first two months of the year are a good time for employers to do a quick "tech check" to make sure that they have a firm grip on some important current issues. Here are five points that you can count off on one hand, as you move forward into the new year:
1. Has Your Company Addressed the Implications of "BYOD" to Work and "BYOT" to Work?
2. Has Your Company Assessed Whether Its Internet and Intra-Net Platforms Are ADA-Compliant?
3. Has Your Company Considered the Employee Privacy Implications of Its Multi-State or Multi-National Presence?
4. Has Your Company Kept Up to Speed with Regard to Changes in the Law Concerning "Tech" Issues?
5. Has Your Company Ignored Many of These "Tech" Issues Because Your Employees Do Not Need Email or the Internet to Perform Their Jobs; or Because Your Systems Do Not Allow for Internet Access and Your Employees Are Not Provided Devices That Allow Such Access?

I've been waiting with publishing the long-promised update of my iPhone Web browsing bible since attending MWC in Barcelona two months ago where I saw Opera Mini, one of the best Web browsers on almost all alternative platforms, in action. I wanted to make sure Opera Mini is also included in the heavily updated roundup.
The waiting has turned out to be worth it – earlier today, Opera Mini has been approved for AppStore and it also made a debut in it (in both the US and international ones). I started testing it right away.
Below are my first thoughts.

Re: Ike Quartey... School me on him.
yeah, Quartey had a great power jab, but not really a well rounded one.
I think when he stepped forward it was more step then power jab(with weight all rocking forward as said), one quickly after the other- rather than stepping in off the back foot with the punch while retaining the ability to throw other shots from his main stance once he's planted again.
Made him vulnerable to being turned by fighters with good footwork.though he only really faced that against Espana and Carr.
Oba didn't really have the engine or offence to capitalise on his footwork advantage, though he did surprisingly hang tough and did well at times because it always gave him a bit of breathing room. Espana wasn't particularly quick or reflexively gifted to be slipping loads of Quartey's jabs, but his educated movement and ability to step to the side after Quartey jabbed and throw combo's had the fight about even.
Surprising that Oscar fought so flat footed against him, when a more mobile strategy would have been far more efficient imo.At least for 7-9 rounds.

Preparing gear for many shorter AT hikes and a two week backpacking trip at Philmont, I needed a warm water-repellant down bag that was versatile, durable and price savvy. This Kelty fits perfectly for a range of treks. It lofts well and easily packs into its stuff sack.
i really like the water proof toe and hood on this bag, keeps you dry where you touch the tent. has a nice long zipper that makes getting in and out a breeze and its super warm. I got the long and there is plenty of room for my 5' 10" self and the Boston terrier that sleeps at my feet.
Used this bag several times in the past couple months and it is awesome. Very comfortable, keeps you extremely warm, and very compressible. I was out using this in 0 degree weather a couple nights and it held up well! While the other guys I was with froze at night, I stayed nice and warm for a good night's sleep.
I used this bag recently on a two-night campout with scouts during which the overnight temps dropped to 26º and 20º respectively. I slept in typical synth long underwear, socks, and a beanie. Admittedly not a torture test for this bag, but it performed better than I hoped it would. I fell asleep bordering on too-warm, and was comfortably warm all thru the night as temps dropped.I am 6'4" 205 lbs, and the long bag fits me well. I am a side sleeper and was able to roll over within the bag easily. I don't know why but I tend to do that rather than just letting the bag roll with me.No cold spots to speak of. I found the zipper to be very slightly finicky, but really not a problem. Hood and collar drawstrings were easy to operate in the dark, as one is flat and the other is round. There was not an opportunity to test the water-resistance of the head and foot treatments, but with the combination of the dri-down and that external coating I don't see any reason to be concerned.

User Tip: If you're unsure of your vehicle type, you may skip the machine type selection box.
Please select make, model and yearSwing Arm Bearings
Do you practice racing through whoops as fast as you can? Do you enjoy a good jump, especially when landed with the proper technique? On the trail, do you relish in the ability to traverse small obstacles as though they were nothing more than pebbles? Your dirt bike is made to tackle pretty intense terrain, and what some people might call abuse could often be simply termed use. But think about your bike's swingarm through all of this. It is constantly moving in order to help the suspension absorb every bump. The swingarm bearings are hard at work, and this means that they need to be replaced as they wear.
When it's time to find a swingarm bearing replacement, you know where you can turn: Rocky Mountain ATV/MC! We carry swingarm bearings and bushings aplenty, and the brands we stock are top-notch as well! From Pivot Works to All Balls, you can rest assured that only quality names find their way into our collection of swing arm bearings. (Or if you'd prefer, head over to our OEM parts to take a look at what OEM swingarm bearings are available for your motorcycle.) And when you're back on the track or trail with a suspension in full working order, you can continue to enjoy your dirt bike as it was meant to be used.

The 86th Annual Academy Awards are just around the corner, and this year there's a wealth of talent all around. Who will take home the golden statue is the question on everyone's mind. Will McConaughey beat out DiCaprio and Ejiofor? Will Jennifer Lawrence take home her second award? Will Leto take home the Oscar as expected, or will Hill or Fassbender create an upset? And the biggest question on everyone's mind, will the big winner of the night be the tale of the AIDS riddled cowboy, the stranded astronaut or the wolf that conned Wall Street. Even, Google is trying to get in on the action.
But at this point it's anybody's guess. I'm going to try and put in my two cents and give my predictions for the big categories this year.
Best Actor
Arguably the toughest category this year, Best Actor candidates are
Christian Bale – 'American Hustle' as Irving Rosenfeld
Bruce Dern – 'Nebraska' as Woody Grant
Leonardo DiCaprio – 'The Wolf of Wall Street' as Jordan Belfort
Chiwetel Ejiofor – '12 Years a Slave' as Solomon Northup
Matthew McConaughey – 'Dallas Buyers Club' as Ron Woodroof
Although, DiCaprio gave a great performance, he's pretty much always snubbed by the Academy. This isn't going to be his year, either with powerhouse performances by McConaughey and Ejiofor. I think the two of them would be the major contenders in this category, although in my opinion McConaughey deserves it hands down. He's come a long way since his RomCom days and his performances as the AIDS infected Texan definitely puts him over the top.
Who Should Win - Mattew McConaughey for 'Dallas Buyers Club'
Best Actress
Amy Adams – 'American Hustle' as Sydney Prosser
Cate Blanchett – 'Blue Jasmine' as Jeanette "Jasmine" Francis
Sandra Bullock – 'Gravity' as Dr. Ryan Stone
Judi Dench – 'Philomena' as Philomena Lee
Meryl Streep – 'August: Osage County' as Violet Weston
When I first saw Gravity, I thought Sandra Bullock would be a shoo in to nab her second Oscar, but as the year went on, I holstered that thought. Too many Academy veterans in this category would generally suggest a polarized vote. But with this being Amy Adams fifth nomination, she's long over due for some Academy love. Her performance as the second half of the con in 'American Hustle' might just clinch her win. But then you have Cate Blanchett who's been getting rave reviews as well as winning the Golden Globe and the BAFTA, right at her heel. It's a little bit of a toss up, but my gut says Blanchett will take this one.
Who Should Win - Cate Blanchett for 'Blue Jasmine'
Best Supporting Actor
Barkhad Abdi – 'Captain Phillips' as Abduwali Muse
Bradley Cooper – 'American Hustle' as Agent Richard "Richie" DiMaso
Michael Fassbender – '12 Years a Slave' as Edwin Epps
Jonah Hill – 'The Wolf of Wall Street' as Donnie Azoff
Jared Leto – 'Dallas Buyers Club' as Rayon
Although I want Fassbender or Hill to take the award, this year there's no competition for Leto. Absolutely dominating this category at the other awards ceremonies, Leto has been unstopable, and there's no reason he won't take this as well.
Who Should Win - Jared Leto for 'Dallas Buyers Club'
Best Supporting Actress
Sally Hawkins – 'Blue Jasmine' as Ginger
Jennifer Lawrence – 'American Hustle' as Rosalyn Rosenfeld
Lupita Nyong'o – '12 Years a Slave' as Patsey
Julia Roberts – 'August: Osage County' as Barbara Weston-Fordham
June Squibb – 'Nebraska' as Kate Grant
If 'American Hustle' loses out in the other categories, Jennifer Lawrence should take this one - not that she doesn't deserve it. Most of the scenes in 'American Hustle' which had brilliant actors, were stolen by Lawrence. Although Lupita Nyong'o is a strong contender as well, I think Lawrence will take home her second consecutive Oscar.
Who Should Win - Jennifer Lawrence for 'American Hustle'
Best Director
David O. Russell – 'American Hustle'
Alfonso Cuarón – 'Gravity'
Alexander Payne – 'Nebraska'
Steve McQueen – '12 Years a Slave'
Martin Scorsese – 'The Wolf of Wall Street'
Again I would love to see David O'Russell take home the prize, simply because it's his best film yet, and he honestly did a fantastic job. But this win could be more than a lock than Leto's, with Alfonso Cuaron the most likely win for 'Gravity'. He's won every major award so far and beating out the likes of Martin Scorsese and Steve McQueen itself is an indication of his probable win. The cinematography of 'Gravity' was unbelievably brilliant and he manages to draw and Oscar worthy performance from Sandra Bullock, I think he'll take this one hands down.
Who Should Win - Alfonso Cuaron for 'Gravity'
Best Picture
Forget what I said about Best Actor, this is probably the toughest category.
'American Hustle'
'Captain Phillips'
'Dallas Buyers Club'
'The Wolf of Wall Street'
'12 Years A Slave'
With 9 top-notch films nominated this year, this is really a tooth and nail competition. Hard hitting stories like '12 Years A Slave' and ' Dallas Buyers Club' are Academy favourites. But this year with Wolf in the mix, not to mention 'Gravity' and 'American Hustle', the Academy will really have to justify their choice. 'Gravity' and '12 Years A Slave' are the real front runners, but I think with Bullock's lone performance, the film earning 10 nominations and the amazing visuals, the Alfonso Cuaron directed film will win the big one this year.

I am using Silverback to capture user testing sessions evaluating a clickable prototype built in Keynote. While recording, Keynote is running in presentation mode, allowing the users to click on links to other slides within the presentation.
I ran a quick test (around 1 minute in length) using this method and found that Silverback was able to record everything (Keynote in presentation mode, mouse clicks, user video and audio) just fine. The only slight issue I noticed is another version of the mouse pointer being constantly displayed where the "Play" button is in the top left of the Keynote interface, but I can live with this.
My issue is, now I have gone back through my full user sessions (about 45 minutes in length) to find that while everything has recorded ok, the actual prototype presentation I was displaying in Keynote does not seem to be present at all. The user video and mouse clicks have recorded just fine, but there is only a blank black space where the Keynote presentation should be.
Does anyone have a solution for this, or have I just lost everything and shouldn't be using Silverback with Keynote in the first place?

Really sorry to hear you've been having problems with Silverback. While Silverback hasn't been designed specifically to work with Keynote, Games and other apps that pop open a separate display layer on top of the regular desktop view, we have seen them work successfully in the past. Considering the test worked but the live session didn't, was there any difference between the two? For instance, during the live test did you have multiple monitors set up, change the display setting or use a different machine?
Hi Andy,
Thanks very much for your response. Both the test and the live version were on the same machine (MacBook Pro, 2.53Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo), however there *was* a difference between the sessions.
In the test session, I was running an additional monitor with the Keynote presentation running on the external monitor. The external monitor was the "main" monitor (the one with the OS X tool bar at the top of the screen)
In the live session, I was running only off of the laptop with no additional monitor.
I have just quickly rerun the test with both monitor configurations to find the following:
The Keynote presentation records normally in Silverback when using multiple monitors.
The Keynote presentation is not recorded in Silverback when using only the laptop monitor. Audio and video of the user as well as mouse movement and clicks still record, it's just the display of the actual Keynote presentation that is not visible.
So, while not solving the problem, at least I know what the issue is now and I know how to avoid it in the future.
Thanks for your help and hopefully there's a way to handle this issue in a future release of Silverback.
Andy Budd (Official Rep) March 19, 2010 17:09Hmm, that is strange. If anything I would have through that you'd have had problems on the dual monitor set-up rather than the single monitor situation. I wonder if the fact that you had it running on a dual system and then moved to a single screen set-up had anything to do with things. Could you try shutting Silverback down and then re-launching it in the single monitor situation, making sure that the display prefs are showing just a single monitor and that Keynote is showing in Primary display mode.
Yes, I agree, I would've thought the issue would be in the dual monitor set up as well.
I tried everything as you suggested and even repeated the test with the Alternate Display option in Keynote preferences de-selected and still had the same results. When running Keynote in presentation mode on the MacBook Pro monitor only, the Keynote presentation does not record in Silverback. With dual monitors, it seems to work ok. Strange indeed!
I just tried this as well (on a MBP, no external monitor) and had the same problem as Vincent. Has there been any other solutions found to this problem other than using an external monitor during testing? That isn't really an option for me.
I'll add as a follow up that I was able to avoid this issue by exporting my slides as a pdf, then using Acrobat for the clickable prototypes. But it would be nice to use Keynote directly to avoid having to create more files

I had the same problem recording 3 user sessions today with Silverback and prototype from Keynote. Running on OX Lion 10.7.2 and all recent updates; Flash prototype, user face, audio, screen outside presentation mode - everything is just ok; but it didn't records the keynote prototype in presentation mode.
It worked for me on an iMac and without testing I just assumed the same behavior. I've lost 3 hours of user testing. Strongly considering other solutions instead Silverback.
Same problem happened to me after a successful trial run on my dual monitor setup. Unfortunately I lost 2 user sessions before discovering this. I then converted the file to PPT and have had no problem since.
To clarify, Victor, this is only happening which you are using the MBP? It's fine on the iMac?
I'm able to reproduce this in some scenarios, so any information you have about setup, dual monitors, etc... would be great in helping us track down the problem.
Had the exact same problem, finally got it working through the following Keynote setting:
Keynote > preferences > slideshow > "Allow Expose, Dashboard and others to use screen"
Works, but (as they warn) a little bit choppy!

I donated to several of the convenient donation areas in the Charleston area this year, and I must say, they really have the process down to a science. It is a good feeling to know that my donations are helping put people to work in the down economic times that we are having. After I donated on several occasions, I drove around and parked, went into the retail store and during the time I was in the store, the items I just donated hit the sales floor! That was efficient! I was so impressed that I actually considered buying back the items I just dropped off!
