Taiwan legislators in brawl over tax
More News from Agence France-Presse
TAIPEI — Fighting broke out in Taiwan's parliament Tuesday as legislators scuffled and threw coffee during a debate on whether a controversial capital gains tax on share trading should be revised less than a year after it was brought in.
Discussions were brought to a virtual standstill after dozens of lawmakers from the ruling Kuomintang party clashed with opposition legislators as both groups tried to seize the chamber's podium.
TV images broadcast live nationwide showed two angry women legislators scuffling and an opposition parliamentarian spraying coffee at her Kuomintang counterparts. A female legislator from the Kuomintang was also seen bursting into tears after she was forced off the podium by a male opponent.
In the past Taiwan's parliament has been notorious for hosting mass brawls between legislators but over the last few years debates have remained peaceful.
The tax, which the government said at the time was part of their efforts to ensure "social justice", was approved by the ruling Kuomintang controlled parliament in July last year and took effect in January.
But since then the new tax has sparked waves of opposition from influential business groups and big stock traders.
Amid mounting calls to scrap the tax to boost falling trading volumes, the Kuomintang government decided to revise the tax, but the attempt encountered strong objections from the three opposition parties.
The major opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) asked President Ma Ying-jeou to apologize for what they said was a wrong policy — a demand rejected by Ma.
The tax was part of Ma's efforts to close a growing gap between rich and poor — a key component of his campaign platform when he was re-elected for a second and final term in January 2012.
In 1988 officials tried to introduce a similar levy but were forced to scrap it after the stock market slumped by more than 35 percent in a month.

Television viewers preferred ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" to The Big Dance or anything else on prime-time television last week except for the American Idol competition episode.
"Dancing With the Stars" averaged 24.19 million viewers, the most for a season premiere in its 10-season history. The detective drama "Castle" which followed, averaged 12.21 million viewers, the most in its two seasons as ABC had its most-watched Monday night since Jan. 1, 2001, when it aired the Rose Bowl game between Purdue and Washington, according to live-plus-same-day figures released Tuesday by The Nielsen Co.
ABC averaged 8.19 million viewers for its prime-time programming March 22-28, its most since the week of Jan. 4, other than the week it aired the Academy Awards.
ABC's other highlights of the week included "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution" drawing more viewers for its second episode than its first. The unscripted series about Oliver's quest for residents of Huntington, W.V. to eat healthier averaged 7.47 million viewers for its first episode in its regular 9-10 p.m. Friday time slot, finishing second in the time slot and 31st for the week.
Its premiere March 21 averaged 6.13 million viewers, despite following "Desperate Housewives," ABC's most-watched program the week of March 15-21.
CBS averaged 11.11 million viewers for the week to be the most-watched network for the 20th time in the prime-time television season's 27 weeks. CBS had 14 of the top 20 programs, topped by ``Undercover Boss, fourth overall with 16.72 million viewers, its most since its premiere following the Super Bowl.
CBS' Sunday lineup was boosted by a half-hour runover of its NCAA men's basketball tournament coverage in the Eastern and Central time zones.
All five games of CBS' prime-time coverage of the second week of the NCAA men's basketball tournament, nicknamed "The Big Dance," drew more viewers than the similar games last year, although Friday's two games were up by just 1.85 percent and 0.78 percent.
The most-watched game was Saturday's prime-time coverage of the West Virginia's 73-66 victory over Kentucky in the East Regional final, 11th for the week with 12.05 million viewers, 13.63 percent more than last year's Saturday prime-time regional coverage. Thursday's games were up 12.2 percent and 9.1 percent.
CBS also led among viewers ages 18-49, the group ABC, Fox and NBC target and advertisers covet because those viewers watch less television and are harder to reach, along with viewers ages 25-54 and 55 and older. Fox Broadcasting led among viewers ages 12-17 and 18-34.
"American Idol's" Top 11 performance show on Fox was the week's most-watched program, averaging 24.21 million viewers, 10.62 percent more than last season's. The Wednesday results show was third for the week, averaging 21.44 million viewers, 9.57 percent less than a year ago.
For the season, "American Idol" is averaging 25.3 million viewers, 5 percent less than last season.
Fox finished second for the week, averaging 8.88 million viewers. Its next most-watched program after "American Idol" was "24," which placed 25th, averaging 8.7 million viewers.
NBC was fourth for the week, averaging 6.12 million viewers, topped by ``Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, which was 18th, averaging 10.58 million viewers.
The CW was fifth, averaging 1.86 million. Its most-watched program was "The Vampire Diaries," 81st overall, averaging 3.33 million viewers.

Sleep is the cousin of death, you might as well pick your urn

In relation to the previous line, Banks its talking saying he's always on his grind. While others are sleeping he's still 'bout it. He's not going to miss his chance, like others do.
"Sleep is the cousin of death" is a line from N.Y. State of Mind by Nas, another Queens, New York, native, just like Banks.

Sold Out $10.79
2012 vintage is available for $11.99
Yalumba Y Series Shiraz and Viognier 2007
Syrah/Shiraz from South Australia, Australia
Winemaker's Notes
Vibrant crimson with purple hues, the Yalumba Y Series Shiraz Viognier, has a nose that is very expressive of its grape origins showcasing aromas of violets, blueberries and Turkish delight, with hints of ground spices. Medium bodied with lots of red berry fruits, the supple tannins and generous fruit flavours are typical of this contemporary red wine blend.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "This is velvety, with a spicy tone from the Viognier adding interest to the bright red berry and red plum flavors, lingering on the vivid finish. Drink now through 2012. 9,500 cases imported."
Yalumba Winery
Yalumba is Australia's oldest family-owned winery, founded in 1849 by Samuel Smith. From modest beginnings, the Yalumba Wine Company has grown to become one of Australia's most successful wineries, owned by 5th generation Robert Hill-Smith. Yalumba regularly receives accolades for its outstanding wines, and for its leadership in viticultural innovation and sustainable farming. Yalumba was the first winery in the world to be recognized with the Climate Award from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (2007), earned the International Green Apple Gold Award from House of Commons (U.K. 2011), and was the first winery outside the United States to win the BRIT International Award of Excellence in Sustainable Winegrowing Competition (2013). The Yalumba portfolio commences with the fresh and flavorsome varietal wines of the Y Series, then moves up to the Samuel's Garden line to capture the essence of the classic Rhone-influenced varietals of the Barossa and Eden Valleys, explores sub-regional complexity through innovative, modern wines in the Hand Pickedline, and culminates with the coveted, collectible Yalumba Rare and Fine wines including Signature and Octavius. View all Yalumba Wines
About South AustraliaView a map of South Australia wineries McLaren Vale, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley, South Australia produces some of the finest red wines of the country, and some say in the world. White wines gain their reputation from the distinctive Rieslings of Clare Valley and Eden Valley.
About AustraliaLike the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Many years ago, a young impetuous veterinarian made an off-hand comment that he now regrets. Making an observation on the large number of people in the Lima area who wear cowboy hats, he opined: �The only people who should wear cowboy hats are cowboys, and there aren�t any around here!�
He now realizes he was wrong. How does he know? In late October, his wife received a letter from one.
I have known Bill a long time. He used to have a couple of horses I took care of, but he hasn�t had them for quite awhile. I knew he had a dog named Skeeter, however, my wife or one of our associates usually cared for him.
So I was kind of surprised to see Bill, that Monday afternoon, standing alone in the hallway by our check-out counter. Wearing a cowboy hat, boots, and a leather vest, he looked every bit a cowboy. Bill proceeded to tell me how he was spending a lot of time in Montana, living the good life, and creating western art.
He then told me why he was there. Skeeter had just been euthanized. Apparently he had lymphoma, a type of cancer, and hadn�t been doing well the last few days. When first talking to Bill, though, I had no idea this had happened. Most people who have lost a pet like this don�t take it as bravely.
About a week later, an envelope arrived in the mail with �Dr. Bonnie� underlined on the front. Bonnie, moved by the letter within, quietly laid it on my desk. Written with sincere words and a pure heart, Bill�s letter is a most fitting tribute to his good friend.
�Dr. Bonnie,
In all my 72 years, I have never become attached to an animal. But Skeeter was different. He was my dog, my pet, him and me were so much alike, always on the move, working or playing, never could lay down to rest, and tough in mind and body. We were together all the time.
Hardest thing I ever had to do was bring him to you. I knew what the problem was and how much he suffered the last 3 days of his life.
I want to thank you and everybody else for being so nice to an old man. This is one time I couldn�t be tough. Don�t think of me as being weak.
Hope to see you and Dr. John some time when it�s different.�
�Being weak� was the last thing I would have thought when I was talking to Bill moments after the euthanasia, or when I read his letter. �Tough and brave� was a much more accurate description.
Bill�s letter came a few days before the November election. During all the media coverage and political hoopla, with opposing sides building walls that may never be torn down, I had one of those epiphany moments.
Everything we do as humans divides us. Whether it is politics, religion, sexual orientation, or even sports teams, we separate into groups and fall under the pretense that our side is right and the other is wrong. The one constant we have that unifies, at least the only thing I can think of, is the love of a pet. Pets don�t care about any of that other stuff; they only care about the ones who care for them.
And isn�t it great to be one of those people. After a bad day, nothing wipes away stress and lowers blood pressure like the greeting from a pet. A look, a touch, a lick, can go a long way towards making everything right in one�s world. It doesn�t matter if you are an uptight businessman, a troubled child, an old cowboy, or a Browns and Indians fan, the mental, physical, emotional, and social benefits are priceless.
If you don�t have a pet, I highly recommend you get one. In spite of the obvious language barrier, many of us find it easier to communicate with them than with members of our own kind.
The human-animal bond is a beautiful thing. I am so glad Bill had a chance to experience it with Skeeter. The lone drawback with pets, unfortunately, is that the bond never lasts long enough.
Thank you very much for your letter, Bill, and for sharing your special bond with Skeeter. By the way, I liked your hat. Wear it proudly. You, sir, are a cowboy!
P.S. Norman and Darrell: Wear your hats proudly, too!
Dr. John H. Jones operates a mixed animal practice in Delphos with his wife, Dr. Bonnie Jones. He is a graduate of The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, and he raises Southdown sheep.

"My favorite site to have fun creating personalized products. I wanted a fun thank you card as a follow up to my dog's first birthday! Submitted a picture from her party to be featured on the cards! So easy to order and the preview feature at the site always let's me know exactly what I am creating. Good quality card stock and excellent quality of photo reproduction. Order arrived quickly even with standard shipping. That's why I have come back to Tiny Prints for Christmas cards and stationery as well. Would highly recommend Tiny Prints to others."
"I never thought I'd be sending out so many thank you notes after having a baby. These are great, simple notes that include the baby's picture and signature on the bottom. I get tons of compliments on them. The paper quality is great!"
"I received many positive comments from recipients. They all mentioned how cute the card was. I would order it again. The cards arrived in good condition and in a timely manner."
"I purchased these thank you cards for my son's first birthday - they turned out better than I expected! I love them! The picture looked awesome, the colors were vibrant, and the paper is a nice weight. These were a great choice!"
"We used this beautiful card as our son's birthday thank you cards. The paper & quality were excellent. We changed the layout to portrait and changed the font for his name to Kids Play Bold to make it less formal. The text came out lovely. The size of the card was perfect. We reorder more cards to have as general thank you cards since the design is so simple."

CRESSKILL, N.J., Jan. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The trial date for over 1,000 NuvaRing lawsuits is being extended, feeding rumors that the vaginal ring contraceptive's manufacturer, Merck, may be ready to enter settlement negotiations. The lawsuits allege that NuvaRing caused serious side effects, including blood clots, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, heart attacks, strokes, and wrongful death. The multidistrict litigation before Rodney W. Sippel of the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Missouri, was originally set to go to trial in May 2013. The extension opens the window for more lawsuits to be filed. But even though a settlement might be closer, it will be months if not years before settlement amounts are established and disbursed. To relieve NuvaRing plaintiffs and attorneys' financial stress, RD Legal Funding, LLC ("RD Legal") is offering immediate lawsuit financing as soon as settlement amounts have been established.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110803/NY45278LOGO )
NuvaRing, the first vaginal hormonal contraceptive device, was developed by Organon BioSciences, the Dutch chemical giant Akzo-Nobel's human and animal health business. The flexible plastic ring releases a low dose of etonogestrel (synthetic progestin) and estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) over three weeks.
- 2001: The FDA approved NuvaRing—which is marketed as a simpler and healthier alternative to a daily birth control pill—for use in the U.S.
- 2007: Schering-Plough purchases Organon for $14.4 billion.
- Beginning in May 2007: Complaints are filed in various jurisdictions asserting claims over the marketing and sale of NuvaRing .
- November 2009: Schering Plough completes its $4.1 billion merger with Merck.
- 2009: The British Medical Journal publishes two studies finding that women taking third- and fourth-generation progestins are almost twice as likely to develop blood clots as those taking second-generation oral contraceptives. First-generation birth control pills, developed in the 1960s, contained high levels of estrogen and carried a nine-fold increased risk of blood clots. Second-generation pills, developed in the 1970s, dramatically decreased blood-clot risks by combining lower doses of estrogen with the synthetic hormone progestin. NuvaRing contains a third-generation progestin, etonogestrel, which was developed to better control side effects like facial hair and acne.
- 2010: More than 5.5 million NuvaRing prescriptions are written in the U.S. NuvaRing generates $559 million in international sales.
- October 2011: An FDA-funded study finds that of 800,000 American women using some form of birth control between 2001 and 2008, NuvaRing users had a 56 percent increased risk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism over women using second-generation birth control pills.
- May 2012: A Danish study published in the British Medical Journal reports that NuvaRing users had a 6.5 times higher risk of developing a serious blood clot compared to women who did not use any form of hormonal birth control; and a 90 percent higher risk of experiencing a dangerous blood clot than women taking combined oral contraceptives containing older forms of female hormones.
- 2012: NuvaRing's product information pamphlet claims that other studies have not shown any increased risk of blood clots in NuvaRing users over second-generation users.
- Through the middle of 2012, the FDA receives 4,974 Adverse Event reports from NuvaRing users.
- Today: Approximately 1.5 million women worldwide currently use NuvaRing which has not been recalled from the U.S. market.

I played MXO ever since the morpheus friends trial. I stop right when my Faction fell on the syntax server. Me and a few people were the last ones to leave. I didnt like MXO after a while due to it being difficult for me to find events happening. The RP seemed dry after a while and the gameplay was repetative as hell. I dont think this game will be worth coming back to at least for another five years.

May I just add this in...
Alot of people post about SOE as if they enjoy ruining games and losing players. This is a rediculous point of view. SOE has made many mistakes and have payed dearly for it. They know this. It is not their intention to drive players away from their games because obviously that means less money. I think things will iron out with SOE with time. How much time? Its hard to tell. My guess is about 5-10 years. Just remember they are trying to make the games they take in more fun. It seems their biggest issue is finding ways to balance games. Hopefully they get through that barrier.

This is matrix, not star wars. Lots of SOE haters go to forums and badmouth games they've never played because SOE made a mistake with their star wars game.

Well It seems to me that SOE is not trying to ruin mxo but it looks that they have more or less given up on the game, they don't advertise the game at all, they don't try to fund it and if they really wanted others to try it out and buy it then they would probably have come up with something better than a half assed buddy trial email promotion, which most people didn't even receive. Now it just looks like they just want to use it to fund their other games in development. With more and more veterans like Ic3b3rg and Zippy leaving the game every month its less likely that the game will last very long without the full support of SOE.
Second of all I think only one person was talking about star wars in this whole thread, almost everyone else who commented in this thread are known veterans who had played this game for at least a year or more and have had it with the matrix online and yes I've also played this game for more than 2 years.

Worth knowing that indeed it looks they gave up on game.
They haven't even tried to fix MXO and 8xxx Nvidia cards problems in 6 months. And even admitted they don't have staff to do it.
Decide your self if it's worthy going for that MMO while it's in SOE hands?

They seem to rarely fix anything, and mostly just make things worse, talking about more than just Mxo though. I can't even play my trial account because of some common "account in use" problem, and they seem to be ignoring my help request in their support section (was made friday at 11:50am btw). It seems like people get an easy fix from someone on the forums but I'm not even capable of posting on them or PMing. I wonder if it's because I'm not giving them money, trying to quell the hate speech from people who aren't currently addicted to one of their games?

QFE on all that, there's a reason why there's alot of SOE haters not not because of SWG- there's a high demand for EQ classic and SWG classic as well. PlanetSide has fallen and MxO isn't holding out too well either, SOE simply are not putting enough effort into their hosted games with no advertisement and very little customer appreciation from the deve.

I decided to use my friends account to see if they would answer the customer support emails for her and they did, almost an hour or two after it was sent.

MasterHale's first rule of combat. if it moves, kill it. if it doesnt move its easier to shoot.
see the thing is sony used to be the big dog on the block with evercrack and as such they would down play any game that would give it some compition. Now that sony is no longer the the lead brand (thanks to WoW) these bad buiness practices are catching up to them

Dear SOE,
The Matrix Online was my first MMO, I brought it because I wanted to play an Agent. I went to gaming stores to try to find a copy of it, and I even heard that the servers has been shut down and I was too late. However I didn't believe him. I went online and found MxO's home page and to my joy the servers were still up. I ordered my copy of the game (which I still have) and a game card. Hell I even brought a new video card so that I could at least play moderately well on it.
I was so excited when I first jacked in, so much to do, so much to see, and events! Oh my Gods the events! I joined in right at the beginning of the first anniversary and of the spawn of the sleepwalkers! I got even more excited when I started to meet characters from the Matrix inside the game! Sure they were Devs playing characters, but in my mind, the 4th wall was never broken.
Pretty soon I was hyperjumping and running all over MegaCity. Gray wanted my help with Anome and his Unlimits, the Bag Lady wanted help. There was endless things to do, endless players to see! Every corner, every crook and nanny of this city was unique and so was this game. I even took part in Beta-testing CR 2.0, which I got a cool hat for. I thought this game would always be supported.
Then after CR 2.0, you started cutting out things from us. You started taking away Devs like HCFrog and Walrus (true Walrus did come back), leaving Rarebit to run the game himself. Then Chadwick quit after the Unlimit Arc. I never cared for Chadwick's writing style, I thought they were too comic-book-ish, however he was a link between MxO and The Wachowski Brothers. That was a very important link because what Chadwick wrote was Canon.
Ok, so we've taken a few hits, and maybe after awhile things will get better. Maybe SOE will re-establish that all important link with another story teller, maybe they'll swing another dev by us. Nope, the cuts just keep coming. We didn't have an animator or whatever else was needed, so Rarebit had to recycle content. Which I thought he excelled at. I mean Rarebit was a very talented guy, he could do very much with very little!
I want to talk about Rarebit for a minute here. Now it's true that when he was the last Dev here, he became the focus point of all our anger, rage, disappointment, , etc. We didn't like what he was doing with the storyline, we let him know it, and Gods did we. We didn't like the recycled content, and once again, boy did we let him know it. However, I do have to hand it to the man. When SOE wasn't responding to us, he did. When SOE didn't answer us, he did. He wrote the story after Chadwick left, he created "new" content. Like I said, he did much, with little. He was a divider, and a uniter. I'd hate to think that he quit because we ran him out. I hope he has no ill wills towards us, because I don't think any of us has any ill wills towards him.
Anyways, so we're left with Rarebit, LESIG 2.0, and Walrus who checks in on us once in awhile. Ok, so things didn't look like they weren't improving, but at least we were leveling out. At least we still had what counted in the MxO universe. A continuing storyline, Dev, Org Liaisons who created side stories (Viracondra was the best IMHO), and missions etc. Sure we had the Cinematics cut and then replaced with the shadow of it's former self. However, it seems SOE like to kick a community when it's down.
Rarebit quits, which was a shocking news for all of us. He spelled out his storyline all the way up to Chapter 14, in which I think was suppose to be the end game. After this, many people of the MxO Community sent out letters, e-mails, we wrote on the forums, we contacted Walrus, we tried everything to talk to you. We wanted to make sure that we were going to get a break, that another Dev would be found. However, all we got back was silence. We never could break that wall of silence. We didn't even get anything from Walrus until now.
Then we got the news, all MxO servers goes dark on July 31st, 2009. The Matrix Universe will end. This is what broke the wall of silence. Not we're getting an Intern Dev, not that this game will contiune at a reduced price, not that we're merging Three Servers into One. All of these options we would hate, but we would've accepted. No, it's that y'all are closing the servers down.
You know, I really really would like to know why now, why not right after Rarebit quit? It's obvious now that y'all weren't going to refill his position. Hell, even after he quit, some of us tried to create smaller community stories. I know my faction Familia Grigori make it's own RP, and I tried to get something going. What was the deciding factor to finally close the servers? Will you tell us, probably not, which goes right along with your track record with us at MxO.
Remember back at the top of my letter? When I described my excitment and joy about jacking into the Matrix Online? This was after SOE has taken over, fired most of the Devs and PET. See, instead of investing in MxO, instead of putting a little money into it, y'all decided to lock it in the closet and feed it left overs from other games. It's amazing we lasted so long, and it's no wonder why we're now going dark. We're not going dark because the community failed, we're not going dark because we were a financial sinkhole, we're going dark because of you SOE. We're going dark because you refused to invest in us, we're going dark because you apparently don't understand simple concept like Customer Service, or To make money, you have to spend money.
So, why even take MxO from Monolith? Why even take a game that you weren't going to invest in? Were we nothing more than stepping stones for DC Universe MMO for you guys? Is that why y'all kept us around for so long? If that's the case, then that means you only dated us so you could sleep with our sister.
I will tell you this SOE, you will never find another community like MxO's. We are a loyal, dedicated, and tight community, we never say die. Sure we have our fights, and we have our disagreements, but when push comes to shove, we always band together. Good luck finding that in EQ, Plantside, SWG, or any other games you have, or will have. Thanks to your inactions, you have lost a large percentage of us as customers after July 31st. You certainly have lost me.

Seriously though, alot of the complaints are valid and should be seen. Don't hide away legit complaints in some silly "We're angry at SOE" post. That makes peoples critiscms sound invalid.

SOE does this to all of their games.
They hate their customers.
I invie all of you to check out everquestonlineadventures.com. They are going through a similar thing that happened to the matrix online.
I will never play another SOE game because the devs hate people who play their games. They consistently screw all of them up; Star Wars Galaxies, Matrix Online, Everquest online adventures, even the original everquest they frigged up. O ya I forgot Vanguard.

Derek Jeter is sore, will get a few days off
Sep 8, 2013, 12:43 PM EDT
Derek Jeter was removed from Saturday's loss to the Red Sox with soreness in his surgically-repaired left ankle. A CT scan came back negative, but the veteran shortstop is going to be out for a little while.
According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Sunday morning that Jeter's ankle will be reevaluated after a few days of rest. There has been no talk of shutting the 39-year-old down for the remainder of the season.
Jeter has appeared in only 17 games this year for fourth-place New York and is batting just .190 with a .542 OPS in 73 plate appearances. Eduardo Nunez will start at shortstop in Sunday's series finale with the Red Sox, who have an 8.5-game lead in the American League East standings.

Man, I hate that I can't drop a "That's what he said," because that'll just sound like some homophobe crap. Rats. Doom.
- tfbuckfutter - Sep 8, 2013 at 2:53 PM
I'm going to punctuate my gay jokes with "no homo….phobe."
- historiophiliac - Sep 8, 2013 at 3:00 PM
See, that's the sucky thing. I can't make that joke without people assuming I'm a homophobe. I'm jealous. And you should totally do that.
- tfbuckfutter - Sep 8, 2013 at 3:45 PM
That's your problem.
Caring what people think.
Life gets a lot easier when you accept that not everyone is going to "get" you.
- historiophiliac - Sep 8, 2013 at 4:08 PM
I only care that I'd be inadvertently participating in the anti-gay rhetoric. I think my comments on here generally establish that I don't care what others think. No homo…phobe.
- tfbuckfutter - Sep 8, 2013 at 4:29 PM
That's half the fun though.
Saying absurd shit that people actually take seriously….AND agree with.
I remember Stephen Colbert saying something about how often someone approaches him to tell him how much they love his show and agree with him about everything.
I teeter between whether that is scary or whether it is actually even better than a joke landing….it's like extra credit.
- historiophiliac - Sep 8, 2013 at 5:24 PM
Well, you're pretty good at it too though.
- tfbuckfutter - Sep 8, 2013 at 5:41 PM
I appreciate that.
Frankly, I'm more interested in the 1 person who finds my terrible comment funny than the 10 who hated it.
If I brighten one person's day, I don't care about how many I irritated.
I have heard that called The Carrot Top Effect.

You're wife's a ginger? Man, you got balls.
- tfbuckfutter - Sep 8, 2013 at 5:56 PM
My wife usually falls into both the "brightened" group and the "irritated" group over the course of the day.
So it's really more of a percentage battle. So far I've been on the right side often enough.
- historiophiliac - Sep 8, 2013 at 6:03 PM
Really? Sigh.
Good for you.
Now try Rupert Grint.
- tfbuckfutter - Sep 8, 2013 at 6:23 PM
I'm not into dude those.
Because. You know. No homo.
- tfbuckfutter - Sep 8, 2013 at 6:24 PM
Those = Though
Damn you vodka, beer and the start of football season and a televised Sox/Yankees game and only having to work until noon….
Actually, no….all those things are totally worth that typo.
- historiophiliac - Sep 8, 2013 at 6:26 PM
I take that to mean I've stumped you! ha ha!
- tfbuckfutter - Sep 8, 2013 at 7:10 PM

- historiophiliac - Sep 8, 2013 at 8:44 PM
Connect Rupert Grint to Kevin Bacon.
- tfbuckfutter - Sep 8, 2013 at 9:34 PM
You're devious because I don't know Harry Potter well and I don't think Rupert's been in anything else but alas….
Alan Rickman to….let's make this fun….The blonde Russian terrorist from Die Hard who died of a heart attack and was also a ballet dancer and who also played Shelly Long's ex-boyfriend in The Money Pit (sorry, I don't recall his name)….to be honest, I have to think Tom Hanks and Kevin Bacon have been in a movie together but I can't think of an instance, so we'll go….throwing six degrees out and this is a weird trip….
Tom Hanks to John Candy in Splash to Macauley Culkin in Home Alone to a movie where Ted Danson played Macauley's dad (I don't remember the name, but Ted Danson was a thief and Macauley had a mullet and I think it was his last actual movie until he was in Saved! about ten years later) and Ted brings us to Woody Harrelson in Cheers and Woody was in Kingpin with Lin Shaye who played the gross landlord and then played Magda in There's Something About Mary with Matt Dillon who was in Wild Things.
- tfbuckfutter - Sep 8, 2013 at 9:35 PM
I have a feeling I could have done it quicker using Joe Montegna but whatev.
- historiophiliac - Sep 8, 2013 at 11:29 PM
Um, Tom Hanks was in Apollo 13 with Kevin Bacon.
- tfbuckfutter - Sep 9, 2013 at 12:07 AM
I'm aware of the film, but I never saw it so aside from Tom Hanks and Ed Harris I know nothing of the cast.
Plus….why go the easy route when you can work Alexander Godunov (I broke down and looked it up….) Ted Danson and Macauley Culkin's mullet in there?
I don't even enjoy doing it the quickest way. I don't like missing obvious connections like that, but I tend to find a string and just pull on it as opposed to looking for the directest route.
- historiophiliac - Sep 9, 2013 at 12:18 AM
I know you don't. I was thinking too that Tom Hanks could get you to Daryl Hannah (Splash) and there had to be some way to connect her with Kevin Bacon as well. There just seems too many cheesy 80's flicks out there that you couldn't put those two together somehow.
- tfbuckfutter - Sep 9, 2013 at 12:30 AM
I really wanted to use Eugene Levy from Splash.
He was such a douche.
And now I will….Eugene Levy from American Pie with Thomas Ian Nichols who was Rookie of the Year which had Gary Busey in it who was in Point Break with Lori Petty who was in A League of Their Own with Tom Hanks who was in Splash with John Candy….wait….
- aceshigh11 - Sep 8, 2013 at 1:02 PM
Well…this is going real well for the Yankees, isn't it? :/
- insidefastball - Sep 8, 2013 at 4:02 PM
It did not seem very smart on Girardi's part to put Jeter out at short every day. I don't get why the Yankees did not ease him back into games, as DH 3-4 times a week and use him as a pinch hitter in another 2-3 games a week. That way they would still have his right handed bat, which is really where most of Jeter's value lies these days. The funny thing is that they have scheduled pretty consistent rest and days off for ARod.
- Kevin S. - Sep 8, 2013 at 4:54 PM
Because as a DH, Jeter actively hurts the Yankees. As a shortstop, he might be marginally better than Nunez. As a DH, Jeter is significantly worse than other options the Yankees have.
- dan1111 - Sep 8, 2013 at 5:01 PM
The problem is, if Jeter DHs, one of the outfielders has to sit, which means that even if he starts hitting well, he won't be much of an offensive upgrade.
Realistically, it's not clear that he is going to make a productive contribution either way this season, but probably his best chance is replacing Nunez's bat at short.
- aceshigh11 - Sep 8, 2013 at 4:37 PM
Well 3 out of 4 ain't bad. Another blown save for Rivera.
I think he can see the beach and mai tais already. Enjoy it, Mo…you've more than earned it.
- coloradogolfcoupons - Sep 8, 2013 at 4:58 PM
Don't know why the Yankees don't just break down and buy Jeter a Segway, or at least a walker with wheels. I don't remember the Rule Book specifically mentioning that either is disallowed, so he could theoretically improve his range and time to first, and at the same time maybe sign an endorsement. Poor guy needs the money…
- dan1111 - Sep 8, 2013 at 5:03 PM
I would really, really love to see an all-Segway baseball game.
- cackalackyank - Sep 8, 2013 at 5:39 PM
Keeping balanced while swinging through a 95+ mph fastball could be a new sport all on its own.
- theskinsman - Sep 8, 2013 at 5:48 PM
Please put him back in the line up, as often as possible. Thank you,
Signed the rest of the American League.
- drelms - Sep 8, 2013 at 10:31 PM
Please let Jeter come back in his swan song season. Millions of fans will come to see him once they know he's going to hang his cleats up.
His position play is the pits, as a DH there are better options sitting on the bench anytime you play him.
With the Yankee's season almost over, the chance of him ever getting better get slimmer.
Oh talk your closer into coming back too, it's such a joy to see him blowing games.

Stanford "EPI.Center†Shakes Up U.S. Engineering Education
New national center launches to infuse entrepreneurship and innovation skills into undergraduate engineering education
Stanford, CA (PRWEB) September 14, 2011
Today the National Center for Engineering Pathways to Innovation (EPI.Center) launches operation to create seismic change in how undergraduate engineers are educated in the United States. The EPI.Center, based at Stanford University's School of Engineering, will serve as an education, research and outreach hub for the creation and sharing of entrepreneurship and innovation education resources among the nationâs engineering schools.
Interested parties can sign-up online for EPI.Center news and updates at: epicenter.stanford.edu.
The EPI.Center is funded by a recent grant from the National Science Foundation, and is directed by the Stanford Technology Ventures Program (STVP), the entrepreneurship center at Stanfordâs School of Engineering. STVPâs key partner in the EPI.Center is the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance (NCIIA).
The EPI.Center leadership team has selected Dr. Tina Seelig to serve as the centerâs director. Dr. Seelig is an award-winning educator, having received the Gordon Prize for innovative curriculum design and teaching methods from the National Academy of Engineering in 2009. Dr. Seelig will also continue to serve as STVPâs executive director.
âœIn choosing Tina as the EPI.Centerâs inaugural director, we have an effective and engaging leader who can hit the ground running when it comes to changing engineering education in America,â says Stanford Professor Tom Byers, a principal investigator on the EPI.Center project. âœTina will be instrumental in the EPI.Centerâs efforts to identify and harness excellent entrepreneurship education curricula and activities from a wide variety of engineering schools across the US.â
Dr. Seelig is currently working with the EPI.Center principal investigators, including Byers and Stanford Professors Kathleen Eisenhardt and Sheri Sheppard, to develop a comprehensive operating plan. With the EPI.Centerâs focus on accelerating the creation of the next wave of American innovators, Dr. Seelig is eager to put the centerâs work into motion.
âœThe economic future of the United States is dependent upon unleashing the enormous untapped potential for innovation in Americaâs talented engineering students,â says Seelig. âœI am honored to play a role in engaging higher education engineering faculty and students in this important effort.â
The center is now inviting design submissions for the EPI.Centerâs logo. The creator of the winning logo concept design will receive $700 USD. All contest entries must be submitted by September 28, 2011.

The Illinois Appellate Court recently upheld the denial of a property tax exemption on both charitable and religious grounds for the Meridian Village continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Glen Carbon. A CCRC provides a range of senior living options from independent living to skilled nursing care. CCRCs are rapidly growing in popularity. In upholding the denial of the exemption, the court made clear that the retirement community failed to meet the requirements for granting a property tax exemption based on either charitable or religious grounds.
In Meridian Village Association v. Hamer, et. al., the operators of a CCRC sought property tax exemptions from tax years 2003 through 2006 based on charitable and religious uses of the property. The Department of Revenue denied their application. The denial was based primarily on the finding that the primary use of the property was neither charitable nor religious. The circuit court affirmed the Department's decision, and Meridian Village Association appealed.
On appeal, the Fifth District Appellate Court affirmed, holding that the Department of Revenue's decision was not clearly erroneous. With regard to a charitable property tax exemption, the Court relied on Illinois Supreme Court precedent establishing the factors that must be met before a property may receive a charitable property tax exemption. Those factors are:
The Appellate Court found the evidence presented to the Department did not meet these factors. First, Meridian Village placed limits on the amount of charity care provided. Second, the operation of the home did not reduce the burden on government any more than a for-profit retirement facility does. Third, funding for Meridian Village was derived primarily from fees for services, not private or public charities. Fourth, the substantial fees placed obstacles in the way of people seeking charity. Finally, the fees charged to residents also meant the primary use of the property was not for charitable purposes.
Additionally, the Court found that being associated with a religious denomination is insufficient to make the primary use of the property religious in nature. The Court concluded the primary use of the property was caring for the elderly, not promoting religion. Therefore, the property was not entitled to a religious property tax exemption.
This decision supports the Department of Revenue's ability to strictly construe the requirements for granting property tax exemptions to CCRCs and other senior living facilities. Given the growth in popularity of these facilities in recent years, this ruling has the potential to positively impact the property tax base of Illinois taxing bodies including school districts.

This would be where QoS would be much more useful.
The one scenario I could really see where one of these NICs would improve network traffic is if your CPU is loaded down causing a delay before packets can be sent or replied to. On a single or dual core system with a game that can tax both cores it might be possible for that to occur.
The killer nic is only good for retards who cant figure out how to setup QOS on their routers.

Oklahoma Ciry, OK – Oklahoma tribe gets $109,000 for nutrition program
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) The U.S. Department of Agriculture has awarded a grant to an Oklahoma Native American tribal nutrition education program through its Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR).
USDA officials say the Chickasaw Nation will receive $109,435 to expand the "Recipes Wrapped in Love" project, which allows families to develop and test new recipes that feature whole grains, fruits and vegetables.
Officials say the recipes will be incorporated into a Recipes Wrapped in Love toolkit that will be distributed to 5,000 participants in the food distribution program.
FDPIR is among 15 nutrition assistance programs overseen by the Agriculture Department's Food and Nutrition Service.

A Decrease in the Density of HLA-DR-Positive Cells Occurs Faster in Corneas Stored in Organ Culture than under Hypothermic ConditionsAl-Fakih A.a, b · Faltus V.c · Jirsova K.a, b

Aims: To compare the number of antigen-presenting cells (APC) at various locations in fresh human corneoscleral disks and in those that are stored for grafting under hypothermic conditions or in organ culture (OC) with the aim of determining the conditions under which the decline in APC numbers is most substantial. Methods: Cryosections obtained from fresh corneoscleral disks and disks stored under hypothermic (Optisol-GS) or OC conditions were used. The density of HLA-DR-positive cells was determined on cross sections using enzyme immunohistochemistry (alkaline phosphatase-antialkaline phosphatase technique). Longitudinal sections were used for detecting ATPase activity. Results: The densities of HLA-DR-positive cells in both the epithelium and stroma increased from the central (3.79 and 0.61/mm2) to the peripheral cornea (5.56 and 1.35/mm2) as well as to the limbus and conjunctiva. A marked decrease in the number of HLA-DR-positive cells occurred after 7 days of storage in all corneal areas, the limbus and conjunctiva, compared to fresh tissue. No positive cells were found in the epithelium of corneas after 14 days in OC and after 21 days in hypothermic storage. Twenty-eight days of storage in OC led to the complete absence of HLA-DR-positive cells in the epithelium of the limbus and conjunctiva, and to a significant reduction in the stroma. Conclusion: Corneas stored in OC longer than 14 days are likely to be less immunogenic than corneas stored under hypothermic conditions, thus resulting in a possible positive effect on prolonging graft survival.

This is the part where I feel guilty, because if you were a conservative, I'd have snapped and insulted your intelligence by now.
First post I made: "Looking at the world's 10 largest video game markets yields no evident, statistical correlation " You're now digging yourself deeper.If you said that the chart does not show a correlation, you'd be correct. But when you said:
The fact that a greater correlation could exist in a world with isolated variables, doesn't mean a correlation exists. That's you stupidly bumbling into causal arguments again.There is a difference between the chart not showing something, versus showing that it doesn't exist.

This fact sheet is geared toward the health-care professional. It highlights the best practice guideline recommendations and offers tips on how to facilitate client centred learning.
Nurses and other health-care providers want you to know they can help you deal with a serious threat to your health—abuse and neglect.
Did you know that signs of abuse and neglect are not always easy to spot? You may not even know that you are being mistreated. That's why it is so important to talk about the issue with a trained nurse or health-care provider.
You may need to seek assistance from a health-care professional when you have concerns about people you care for who are in pain.
Uncontrolled pain is a common problem. Pain can affect anyone at any age and include people who are unable to communicate that they are experiencing some form of pain. If people have pain during their day-to-day activities or during any medical procedure, this can affect the way they behave and function. This behaviour may cause you to feel helpless and distressed, especially if you can not help them with their pain and they are not able to speak for themselves.
Why you should seek assistance from a health-care professional when you are in pain?
Uncontrolled pain is a common problem. Pain can affect anyone at any age. If you are experiencing uncontrolled pain it can affect day-to-day activities and make you feel upset or sad. Members of your family may feel helpless too, especially if they do not know how to help.
Urinary incontinence is a symptom, not a disease. It affects one in four Canadians over the age of 65. There are some things related to age that can contribute to the problem.

Bengals think they've added enough playmakers
By drafting a tight end with sure hands and a running back that can catch passes, the Bengals think they've given their offense what it's lacked most.
A couple more playmakers are about to join an offense that didn't have enough of them late last season, leading to another quick exit from the playoffs.
''Well, there shouldn't be any excuses,'' quarterback Andy Dalton said on Monday. ''With the players we already have and adding these guys is just going to make the offense better. So I expect us to take the next step. I expect us to improve from where we were last year.''
Cincinnati made the playoffs for a second straight season - something done only one other time in franchise history - but had another rough time in the postseason. For the second year in a row, the Bengals lost to Houston in the opening round.
They haven't won a playoff game since the 1990 season, going 0-4 under coach Marvin Lewis. It's tied for the seventh-longest stretch without a playoff win in NFL history, according to STATS.
The offense has been the biggest problem the last two seasons.
Dalton and receiver A.J. Green emerged as rookie stars in 2011, getting the Bengals to the playoffs with their ability to hook up on highlight plays. It wasn't enough to get them very far in the postseason.
The Bengals didn't get another proven receiver last season, and the passing game was overly dependent upon Green again. Cincinnati finished only 22nd in yards on offense and 12th in points, although the defense had a big hand in that.
The defense scored a touchdown in each of the last four games, including Leon Hall's interception return during a 19-13 playoff loss to Houston. The defense had three touchdowns in the last three games, while the offense managed only one.
The Bengals have tried to rectify that by drafting tight end Tyler Eifert from Notre Dame in the first round and running back Giovani Bernard from North Carolina in the second. Their top two draft picks were dedicated to giving the offense more playmakers.
Everyone noticed the emphasis.
''I think the offense is starting to go into the mode and the identity that I think (offensive coordinator) Jay Gruden has,'' running backs coach Hue Jackson said. ''Our job is to score points. And in order to do that, you've got to make sure you have players that can do that. And we have some on this team right now.''
In the final three games last season, Green was the only real threat. The Bengals converted only 7 of 37 third-down plays in those three games, failed to pick up 200 yards in two of the three games, and averaged only 47 yards rushing. Dalton was 48 of 48 for 783 yards with one touchdown, three interceptions and a passer rating of 61.3, well below average.
In addition to the newcomers, the Bengals are hoping that receiver Mohamed Sanu is fully recovered from a broken foot that cut short his rookie season. Sanu, a third-round pick from Rutgers last year, had worked his way into the starting lineup when he broke his left foot and needed surgery on Dec. 3.
Sanu caught 16 passes for 154 yards with four touchdowns in nine games last season, ran five times for 15 yards and threw a 73-yard touchdown pass to Green out of a wildcat formation.
Sanu expects to be at full-speed for the team's offseason workouts in May.
''My body feels great,'' Sanu said on Monday. ''Now it's just a matter of getting back out there and ready to play. I'm already 100 percent (healed). Now I'm just getting to the point where I want to be as far as being in shape and getting ready for the OTAs and the season.''
Sanu had started settling into his role when he got hurt last year. He started the two games before he broke his foot.
''Just each game, each week you get a little more comfortable,'' he said. ''It's definitely a good feeling to know I can help the offense out and to know I was getting playing time and I was effective.''
