Creativity and originality, Were these not what started what we call "technology"?
Who ever though we would be using touch screens or watching a 3D TV in our homes. If we decide not to use as much creative and originality as before, will technology develop slower?
Many companies are very popular with there customers, these are the companies that make a lot of money.
These companies in most cases strive for originality, this is why there so popular. People want to buy a product that they can't get anywhere else and that the same time new to the world. Lets look at HP for a example, who ever though we could have the ability to e-mail our printer from anywhere in the
world and make it so easy to print. Who ever though we could make editing software easier to use for people that are not "tech oriented" by using a mac, but is the creative being slowed down because other companies decide to follow rather then try to lead? If everyone decided they where going to
create rather then copy, where would be today? For example; With the release of the iPad thats been in development for years, instead of making being original others tried to copy it.
The well known Apple inc. never invented but reinvented, if every company made the effort to reinvent apple's product rather then copy it, we would have much better developed technology. It's very clear that we have are leading companies and there not all neck and neck, but what if they where?
If all companies had a endless amount of creative and originally, how would we look at tomorrows technology?
What do you think?

He wasn't talking to anyone except himself, as he was alone in the mansion he had decided the party would take place in. He had no idea where the owners were, as he had no idea who they were. Probably out at some halloween party at someone else's mansion. He put on some music and waited for the other guests to arrive, hoping nobody would be murdered.

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), is a spectrum of disorders characterized by hepatic steatosis in the absence of significant alcohol consumption. The spectrum of fatty liver diseases ranges from 70% of patients with simple steatosis, a benign condition with low risk of progression to 30% with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a more serious and progressive condition. While there are many possible causes of nonalcoholic fatty liver, the most common cause is the metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is defined as having any three of the following: central obesity, high triglycerides, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, hypertension or insulin resistance.
Due to the obesity epidemic, NAFLD is now the most common chronic liver disease in adults in the United States, Australia, Asia and Europe. Twenty to 30% of adults and 2.6% of children in the United States have NAFLD. It is also gaining prominence as a cause of liver disease in children as well. Other causes of NAFLD include protein-calorie malnutrition, starvation or rapid weight loss, total parenteral nutrition, jejuno-ileal bypass, medications, and metabolic disorders.
The pathogenesis of NAFLD in humans is not fully understood but is thought to reflect the hepatic manifestation of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome as well as a complex interplay between multiple genetic and environmental factors. The current theory of pathogenesis suggests a 2-hit hypothesis. The first hit appears to be insulin resistance, which is almost uniformly present, even in lean patients with NAFLD. Insulin resistance leads to abnormal adipogenesis and deposition of triglycerides in the hepatocyte. It is believed that obesity and excessive macronutrient intake such as glucose and lipid leads to hypertrophic adipocytes in the viscera. These adipocytes produce cytokines and chemokines that activate the inflammatory signaling pathways in various cells (not yet clearly elucidated), leading to increases in oxidative stress and additional release of inflammatory mediators, which, in turn, lead to increased insulin resistance. The exact mechanism for how the deposition of triglycerides in hepatocytes leads to inflammation and fibrosis is unclear and multiple theories for this second hit have been proposed. Potential second hits include oxidative stress secondary to mitochondrial dysfunction and excess iron deposition or lipid peroxidation. Several effectors of liver injury including elevated levels of TNF-alpha, TGF-beta, adiponectin and leptin have all been proposed as mediators of inflammation and injury.
The most well-recognized clinical risk factors for NAFLD are obesity (especially truncal obesity), type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. The prevalence of NAFLD in obese persons is estimated to be 57.5% to 74%, and is perhaps 50% in persons with hyperlipidemia. In addition to increasing the risk of having NAFLD, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus both increase the severity of the disease. Although the majority of NAFLD patients are obese, a minority are thin or have a normal BMI and, in these individuals, genetic rather environmental factors probably play a key role.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is usually recognized during investigation of abnormal liver function tests (LFT), particularly elevated serum alanine transaminases (ALT). However, a minority of people with NAFLD may present with normal LFT. Patients with abnormal LFT, even in the presence of the metabolic syndrome, should undergo a work-up to exclude viral, autoimmune and other metabolic disorders of liver disease, including identification of alcohol abuse. Ultrasonography usually identifies a bright liver (increased echogenicity) reflecting increased fat content within the liver. Currently, liver biopsy is the only reliable way of distinguishing NASH from simple steatosis. However, the evolving field of diagnostic imaging for NAFLD holds promise. A combination of clinical predictors, serum biomarkers and radiologic modalities may one day provide the best diagnostic approach for patients with NAFLD, and potentially replace the necessity for liver biopsy in most patients. At the BIDMC NAFLD Center, we are currently investigating noninvasive evaluation of NAFLD.
There is currently no standard medical treatment for NAFLD and NASH. The main principles of management include improving lifestyle measures and increasing physical activity aiming for a gradual loss of 10% body weight. Surgical weight loss procedures can be considered where appropriate. It is also important to optimize the treatment of insulin resistance, diabetes and hyperlipidemia when present.
Many medications are presently being evaluated for people with NAFLD. These include insulin sensitizers, lipid lowering agents, antifibrotics, ursodeoxycholic acid, antihypertensives and antioxidants. At the 2009 Annual meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, Arun Sanyal presented the results of a prospective randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial comparing vitamin E, pioglitazone, and placebo in patients with NASH . 43% of the group of patients on vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) 800IU daily had significant histologic improvement in the area of inflammation, steatosis, hepatocyte ballooning (compared to 34% in the pioglitazone group and 19% in the placebo group). However, there were no significant improvement in the fibrosis score for any of the groups. While patients in the pioglitazone had improvement in insulin resistance, they also had more weight gain.
There are ongoing clinical trials at our NAFLD Center.
History and physical examination to screen for risk factors for NAFLD and other liver diseases (including alcohol) including assessment for:
Counsel patient on risk reduction strategies and check liver function tests and ultrasound in the following patients:
If there are abnormal LFTs and/or increased liver echogenicity on ultrasound, then refer to hepatologist or proceed to further work-up.

Cookie (video game)
Cover art of Cookie
|Tim and Chris Stamper
|Ultimate Play The Game
|ZX Spectrum
|Release date(s)
|Single Player
Cookie is a ZX Spectrum video game written by Chris and Tim Stamper and published by Ultimate Play The Game in 1983. It was one of four 16K games by Ultimate that were available on ROM format for use with the ZX Interface 2. A version was also created for the BBC Micro but was not commercially released.[2]
Typically for Ultimate and Rare/Rareware releases, players are given a tantalising and humorous introduction :
- "Charlie the Chef keeps all the ingredients locked away in the pantry, only letting them out when he wants to cook them!
- Now this makes them jolly upset, let me tell you.
- So! As soon as they can, the ingredients dash out of the pantry dragging all the sorts of nasties, found in the bottom of drawers and cupboards, with them, to escape, and run wild.
- Poor old Charlie!
- He has to daze the ingredients with his flour bombs and knock them into the mixing bowl, because if they go into the dustbins they will be eaten by the bin monster, who doesn't care one little bit where he throws any rubbish.
- Should any rubbish or nasties get into the cake mix then the "ingredients needed" counter will change, and Charlie will have to work quicker and faster, if he's going to bake his cake ..."
In the game Charlie the Chef has to bake a cake, but the ingredients (Mixed Peel, Chunky Chocolate, Crafty Cheese, Sneaky Sugar and Colonel Custard) are reluctant.
Cookie received some positive reviews, with CRASH magazine concluding its review "addictive and highly recommended".[3] Sinclair User was less positive about the game, commenting "The game concept is novel but it is easy to lose interest after you have played through a few levels of those evil ingredients.".[4]

2002 Renault Clio Extreme 1.2 16v from UK and Ireland
Nice to drive, but very unreliable
Sept/Oct 2002- After having the car for only a couple of months from new, the driver's window dropped, had to call the AA out to secure the vehicle. A plastic guide on the edge of the glass had snapped, Renault Birmingham replaced the guide, saying the window was now fully operational.
Over the course of the next few months, the car went back to Renault Birmingham about 4-5 times with the same fault, the driver's window. They replaced the regulator, honeycomb, stripped the whole door down replacing all the window parts. After each time back at their dealership, they would say they'd fixed the problem and that it had been thoroughly tested. It would last on a matter of weeks, before it would start playing up again. Not once was I offered or supplied with, a courtesy car.
Air-bag light came on several times on the dashboard. Renault Birmingham secured the connection under the driver's seat, using the marvelous technique, soldering.
Rear high-level brake light had never been connected, a problem I only became aware of after having the car for many months. I only became aware because my mom happened to be following me in her car. Renault Birmingham connected this, something I presumed would've been done at the factory. So much for quality control.
November 2003- Headlights failed, had to drive for several days in darkness with side lights and fog-lights (luckily fitted to this model). Renault Birmingham had to strip the whole dash out to replace a wiring harness.
11th/15th July 2005- Never had any problems starting my Clio, but this week the car is struggling to start first and in some cases second time. Added an expensive engine cleaning fuel additive and touch wood, car seems to be starting okay now.
I was starting to think all the problems had finally been sorted out out, but when I came to use my car tonight, 17th July 2005 the headlights have once again failed. Plus, just under 2 months left on 3 year warranty. I'd better get myself back down to Renault Birmingham, SHARPISH!!!
General Comments:
After all these problems I've had, I can honestly say I would NEVER buy another Renault. This car has given me nothing, but grief.
I know several people who currently have/did have Renault Cars and they've experienced plenty of faults themselves.
Come on Renault, get your act together!!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
Review Date: 16th July, 2005
28th Feb 2006, 10:28
I bought my car new in 2002 and I must've taken it to the garage at least 20 times since. I have had the car re-sprayed twice because the paint was bubbling. The handle to let people into the back just didn't work. The engine management system has had lots of faults. I've had the drivers seat replaced. The airbag light kept coming on and had to have the wires soldiered under the seat, now the car has an electrical fault again with the engine management system and cut out on me last week in the fast lane on the A1. Not exactly safe! Head office are fully aware of these problems and saying we apologise is not acceptable. I will never buy a Renault again.

MR6 Goal for 6/30 - 345,000
Thanks for BD wishes Beamer, I actually served with Lawrence Washington, Georges half-brother back in 1740 in the Continental Marines, re-enlisted at Tuns Tavern on November 10, 1775 the day we celebrate the Marine Corps Birthday. ;-)
G'morn' Beamer....remember, a person who doesn't get stung once in a while, most probably isn't doing much of anything.....bring on the little critters........have a super nice Saturday........
Well, slap my head and call me silly! We made goal. Or the Hog did.
Well I'll be dipped in horse feathers. You did it.....Ty
Hi Beamer:
Nerine's last post on that thread was in 2012. I got a message in July 2013 from from a GB named mexicomaria (who I had never met) telling me she had passed away from a difficult battle with cancer. Maria knew Nerine and her family. Apparently the disease had been in remission for a while, but spread quickly. I think she died in April or May of this year. When I heard, I posted condolences on her whiteboard. I had no idea she was ill ! What a loss.

A SMALL body may mean a long life, say geneticists in Europe and the US. But it's not being small itself that makes you live longer. Rather, it seems that key genes controlling growth and metabolism can also have a dramatic effect on lifespan.
One team led by Marc Tatar at Brown University in Rhode Island studied flies with mutations in INR, the fly equivalent of the receptor for insulin and insulin-related growth factor (IGF-I) in mammals. Mutations in these genes in worms can triple adult lifespan, and the team wanted to see if the same was true of flies.
The flies lived 85 per cent longer, the team foundbut they were dwarfs compared with normal flies. They also failed to make a key hormone called juvenile hormone that controls reproduction. If the mutants were given the hormone, their lifespans returned to normal. "There's a trade-off between reproduction and survival," ...

Beyond the Blue Horizon, Brian Fagan's account of the first intrepid ocean-goers, contains jaw-dropping insights, but they get lost in a sea of repetition
THE oceans are swirling pools of contrast: calm and tumultuous; wine dark and clear; continuous yet disjointed; givers of life and grim reapers combined. For many people, such contrasts make the sea beguiling. There's a romance in the fickleness of water. Like a temperamental lover, its unpredictable behaviour and constant contrast make it all the more seductive.
To an extent, Brian Fagan's Beyond The Blue Horizon reads like the seas it seeks to describe: at once stirring and oddly flat. In it, Fagan sets out to cast light on the often overlooked early voyagers of our seas. The stories of Christopher Columbus and his ilk are well known, but the tales of ancient seafarers - from island-hopping Polynesians to the war-mongering Norse - have mostly been ...

ASTRONOMERS are close to plugging one of the most glaring holes in cosmology: exactly how far is it from the Milky Way to the next galaxy? Their answer will also help to pin down the age of the Universe.
At the moment astronomers have no way of judging distances accurately. As a result, estimates of the distance to the edge of the visible Universe could be out by up to 20 per cent. This has a knock-on effect because that figure is used to calculate the Hubble constant, which in turn tells us the age of the Universe and how fast it's expanding.
So Kris Stanek at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is working on calibrating the "standard candle" system for gauging intergalactic distances. "Standard candles" are stars with an intrinsic brightnesswattage, if you likethat we can deduce just from their appearance. Once we know this, their ...

How do we balance needs of energy, water and climate?November 15, 2013 7:26 am | by David L. Chandler, MIT News Office | News | Comments
In deciding how best to meet the world's growing needs for energy, the answers depend crucially on how the question is framed. Looking for the most cost-effective path provides one set of answers; including the need to curtail greenhouse gas emissions gives a different picture. Adding the need to address looming shortages of fresh water, it turns out, leads to a very different set of choices.
Neutrons, electrons and theory reveal secrets of natural gas reservesOctober 28, 2013 3:08 pm | News | Comments
Gas and oil deposits in shale have no place to hide from an Oak Ridge National Laboratory technique that provides an inside look at pores and reveals structural information potentially vital to the nation's energy needs.

China's synthetic natural gas plants will have heavy environmental tollSeptember 26, 2013 9:01 am | News | Comments
Coal-powered synthetic natural gas plants being planned in China would produce seven times more greenhouse gas emissions than conventional natural gas plants, and use up to 100 times the water as shale gas production, according to a new study by Duke Univ. researchers. These environmental costs have been largely neglected in the drive to meet the nation's growing energy needs, the researchers say.
NETL pens MOU with Brazilian Coal AssociationJuly 24, 2013 12:13 pm | News | Comments
On June 6, 2013, the U.S. Dept. of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and the Brazilian Coal Association (BCA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on carbon capture and storage (CCS) in Florianopolis, Brazil.

Americans continue to use more renewable energy sourcesJuly 22, 2013 9:12 am | News | Comments
Americans used more natural gas, solar panels and wind turbines and less coal to generate electricity in 2012, according to the most recent U.S. energy charts released by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Natural gas use is up in the electricity generation sector, where it has basically substituted directly for coal, while sustained low natural gas prices have prompted a shift from coal to gas in the electricity generating sector.
Power plant limits at center of president's climate planJune 25, 2013 6:50 am | by Johs Lederman and Matthew Daly, Associated Press | News | Comments
In a speech Tuesday at Georgetown University, Barack Obama is expected to announce he's issuing a presidential memorandum to launch the first-ever federal regulations on carbon dioxide emitted by existing power plants, moving to curb the gases blamed for global warming despite adamant opposition from Republicans and some energy producers.
New emissions standards would fuel shift from coal to natural gasApril 5, 2013 12:00 pm | News | Comments
Tougher EPA air-quality standards could spur an increased shift away from coal and toward natural gas for electricity generation, according to a new Duke University study. Complying with stricter regulations on sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, nitrogen oxide, and mercury may make nearly two-thirds of the nation's coal-fired power plants as expensive to run as plants powered by natural gas. The regulations would make 65% of U.S. coal plants as expensive as natural gas, even if gas prices rise significantly.
Milestone for new carbon capture and clean coal technologyMarch 20, 2013 9:52 am | News | Comments
An innovative new process that releases the energy in coal without burning—while capturing carbon dioxide, the major greenhouse gas—has passed a milestone on the route to possible commercial use, scientists are reporting. Their study in the ACS journal Energy & Fuels describes results of a successful 200-hour test on a sub-pilot scale version of the technology using two inexpensive but highly polluting forms of coal.
New coal technology harnesses energy without burningFebruary 6, 2013 10:08 am | News | Comments
A new form of clean coal technology reached an important milestone recently, with the successful operation of a research-scale combustion system at Ohio State University. The technology is now ready for testing at a larger scale. For 203 continuous hours, the Ohio State combustion unit produced heat from coal while capturing 99% of the carbon dioxide produced in the reaction.
Reduce greenhouse gas by exporting coal?January 16, 2013 9:36 am | News | Comments
Western U.S. coal companies looking to expand sales to China will likely succeed, according to Stanford University economist Frank Wolak. But, due to energy market dynamics in the United States, those coal exports are likely to reduce global emissions of greenhouse gases.
LLNL receives grant for underground coal gasification workDecember 4, 2012 8:35 am | News | Comments

A long-term view of critical materials: From coal to ytterbiumAugust 29, 2012 3:38 am | News | Comments
More than 90% of the world's rare earth elements are now mined in China, and worldwide demand is anticipated to grow from 136,100 metric tons in 2010 to 185,000 metric tons in 2015. However, at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory scientists believe that taking a long-term view is vital for addressing both the current shortage as well as avoiding future shortages of materials that are crucial to U.S. industry.
More precise look at cradle-to-grave greenhouse gas emissions for energy technologyMay 7, 2012 10:19 am | News | Comments
A new approach to assessing greenhouse gas emissions from coal, wind, solar, and other energy technologies paints a much more precise picture of cradle-to-grave emissions and should help sharpen decisions on what new energy projects to build.
Study: Replacing coal the least expensive way to reduce emissionsApril 3, 2012 1:22 pm | News | Comments
According to a new study using SWITCH, a highly detailed computer model of the electric power grid, University of California, Berkeley researchers have learned that goals for decarbonization of the electric power sector are most easily achieved using renewable or nuclear energy sources in lieu of coal.
Reduction in U.S. carbon emissions attributed to cheaper natural gasFebruary 27, 2012 3:18 am | by Caroline Perry, Harvard University | News | Comments
In 2009, when the United States fell into economic recession, greenhouse gas emissions also fell, by 6.59% relative to 2008. In the power sector, however, the recession was not the main cause. Researchers at Harvard University have shown that the primary explanation for the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from power generation that year was that a decrease in the price of natural gas reduced the industry's reliance on coal.
DOE receives first repayment from successful DryFining CCPI projectJuly 6, 2011 11:31 am | News | Comments

EPA pursues Michigan's largest coal-fired plantMarch 24, 2011 5:49 am | by Ed White,Associated Press | News | Comments
A Michigan utility spent $65 million last year replacing key parts at the state's largest coal-fired power plant, but when regulators found out the brought DTE Energy to court for not also installing technology that would greatly reduce air pollution. The case highlights the industry-wide tug-of-war between compliance with EPA rules and the cost of new technology.
A subdued reboot for coalAugust 11, 2010 7:50 am | Blogs | Comments
Legislators and DOE's researchers alike are hoping FutureGen 2.0 is a smoother ride than the first go-around, which went the way of New Coke. With $1 billion now comitted, the coal-dependent U.S. is now headed rapidly for a massive retrofitting of coal generation. But carbon storage will inevitably mean higher energy prices for all.

So sad, we just found it on line today, old listing on loopnet.
Would of been interested in the entire package. Did they ever sell the drive-in part, is there a listing anywhere for it. Who would we contact?

The 10 plex currently on the site is open, but it and the land that the former drive in are on is up for auction. The drive in has sat untouched for awhile. A former management group started work on it but left soon after. The field is very over grown, the old projection/ concession stand is in ruins, and I have no clue were the screen used to be. The gates are just brick and steel. I will try to get some pictures soon.

Child and Adolescent Mental Health
Many children and adolescents have mental health problems that interfere with their normal development and daily life activities. Some mental health problems are mild, while others are more severe. Some mental health problems last for only short periods of time, while others, potentially, last a lifetime.
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) estimates that one in five children and adolescents may have a mental health disorder.
Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health problems that occur in children and adolescents. Estimates suggest that 4.1 percent of children between the ages of 9 and 17 have attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, are common among adolescent and young women in the US.
It is important to know that help is available. Most children and adolescents who experience mental health problems can return to normal daily activities, if they receive appropriate treatment.

IT'S not exactly a gold standard treatment. A painkiller that virtually wiped out many of India's vultures is now threatening birds of prey in Europe and Africa. Golden eagles may be among the species at risk.
India's Gyps vultures have declined in numbers since the 1990s because of the use of a drug called diclofenac in cattle. When the birds fed on animals that had been given the painkiller, the drug damaged their kidneys, killing them.
It now seems that diclofenac also harms eagles. Anil Sharma and his team at the Indian Veterinary Research Institute in Izatnagar studied dead steppe eagles (Aquila nipalensis) from north India. They saw signs of kidney failure, and traces of diclofenac (Bird Conservation International, doi.org/s2n).
Steppe eagles may not be the only ones at risk. At least five of the eight Gyps species are susceptible to diclofenac, so the other 13 Aquila species may be vulnerable if the steppe eagle is. That includes several in south Asia and Africa, and Europe's golden and Spanish imperial eagles.
All scavenge cattle and are now exposed. Diclofenac was registered for use in Italy and Spain in 2013 and has been sold in Africa since 2007.
The Vulture Conservation Foundation wants diclofenac banned in Europe. But the group says that so far officials are only offering to warn about toxicity on the label. That will not stop it reaching birds.

Planetarium Schwaz
Planetary movements, daily and annual trajectory of the stars, the sun, cosmic events such as solar or lunar eclipses as well as the unprecedented recent unmanned Mars landing are events that are analyzed at the Zeiss-Planetarium and explained in a simple and easy to understand manner.
A planetarium is a multimedia entertainment, cultural and educational institution that is attractive to people from all walks of life and ages for many different reasons.
Unlike an observatory, where the night skies are viewed directly through a telescope, in a planetarium the skies are artificially produced. This is achieved with the help of precision optical equipment, a 360° video system, sophisticated sound system and effects projectors, 8 metres in diameter and located in the projection dome.
The daily and annual trajectory of the stars, planetary movement and events taking place in our cosmos are presented and explained in our fully air conditioned domed hall.

New York Life Names Benevento to Oversee Portfolio
July 17 (Bloomberg) -- New York Life Insurance Co., the largest U.S. life insurer owned by policyholders, named Steven Benevento to oversee its private-equity unit's $8.8 billion portfolio.
Benevento, 47, takes the newly created position of chief investment officer at New York Life Capital Partners, the firm said today in a statement. The CIO title is "a formalization of a role that he's been engaged in for quite some time," John Brine, a New York Life spokesman, said in an e-mail.
The unit invests in private-equity firms and manages alternative assets for New York Life Insurance, its affiliates and other institutional investors. Benevento has been involved in all the firm's investment activities, Brine said.
"It is critical that we have someone with Steve's expertise dedicated to the role of maintaining the integrity of our investment process," Thomas Haubenstricker, chief executive officer of New York Life Capital Partners, said in the statement.
Benevento joined New York Life in 1995 after working at TIAA-CREF, according to today's statement. He earned a bachelor's degree in finance from State University of New York at Albany in 1987 and received his MBA from New York University's Stern School of Business in 1991.

'House of Lies': Watch the premiere now!Add to Favorites | House of Lies
Showtime's newest comedy, "House of Lies," doesn't premiere until Jan. 8, but the network has posted the pilot online already so you can watch the episode two weeks early.
The series stars Don Cheadle as the head honcho of a management consulting team comprised of Kristen Bell, Ben Schwartz and Josh Lawson. The fast-paced pilot introduces us to their world of corporate jargon and charging lots of money to big companies for their work via some fun Zack Morris-style freeze frames and narration from Cheadle.
Complicating things is the ex-wife of Cheadle's character, played by Dawn Olivieri, who just so happens to be the head of the one management consulting team ranked higher than his. In the first episode (and likely more after), the two teams are competing for the same job.
Check out the pilot above, and let us know what you think!

Mike Knox is another man that should be on TV.
Tna is crap i get tna for free in england and i still dont watch it they have some oustanding wrestlers but in all serious ness tna does my head in the crowd every time ive ever watched it has been so quiet the only thing they chant is tna they have the odd good storyline but this aces & 8's crap is awful they have dragged it on for ages i only kno what happens on it coz i check on here to see what kurt angle or samoa joe are doing i youst to check on aj styles but tna have been messing him up for quite some time now, i watched one of these brawls at the end of tna onceb and id rather watch a santino backstage attempt to be funny, tna have copjed wwe with this but changed it in a different way this whole crap reminds me of the nexus but the nexus were great they youst to randomly come in and fuck people up promoting new stars in the process which tna has failed at they are promoting wwe flops i think chris masters would be good for tna hes not good on the mike but he looks like he could legitamately fuck ur game up, im not a wwe fan boy i watch wwe yess because i always have and they do some very stupid shit like alberto del rio wow what a fail hornfuckingswoggle are they sure ?

Internet Privacy in Nepal being Compromised
Filed Under: Media & Tech, World | Posted: 04/22/2011 at 2:03AM
Comments | Region: Nepal
Likewise, the Nepal Police making unwanted arrest of the ISP's employee and staff only on the basis of providing Internet connection to customers allegedly involving in call bypass and after so many collaborative dialogues by Internet Service Providers Association (ISPAN) with the Ministry of Information and Communication, the Home Ministry and NTA, the problem still persist. ISPAN then with no option started the protest program of disrupting Internet services from Sunday April 10, 2011, for one hour from 1pm to 2pm which has been withheld for now.
In one of the interviews to the well known media Nepali times Binaya Bohra, president of ISPAN said, "In the past months police have detained or tried to detain directors and employees of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) because they provided internet connections to customers who were alleged to have misused our services for the call bypass racket. This is like holding a telephone company liable for abusive calls, or holding the maker of pressure cookers liable for their misuse as pressure cooker bombs. ISPAN sat down with the authorities and explained that the actions of its customers are a third party issue and need to be dealt in the way you deal with intermediary liabilities. The government agencies and police assured us that they would not be detaining ISP owners and staff. But just the opposite has happened. The threat of unwarranted police action has created an environment of fear among ISPs and is hampering our ability to provide services and conduct business. No matter how and where we put our case and how much we cooperated with the agencies concerned, persecution against us did not stop. We simply want a safe working environment where we don't have to worry about going to jail because one of tens of thousands of internet customers misuses the service."
"Just as Ncell and Nepal Telecom are not being held responsible for their SIM cards being misused for illegal call bypass, ISPs should not be held responsible for internet connectivity that is misused by its customers. Why this discrimination against ISPs? Obviously the big and strong have protection and we are a soft target. We are already cooperating. We are tired of living in an environment of fear, and would prefer to surrender our licenses to NTA than continue to work in this environment," added Bohra.
Looking at the scenario and technological boom in Nepal, Nepal is in the midst of a ticking time bomb where its position in between India and China further deteriorates the condition. In such situation where the NTA should have done collaboration with the private sector in brain storming towards preparing a mechanism to fight against the external threats, NTA is currently bullying its authority towards the industry. The current step of monitoring account details of account holders may seem palpable highlighting security condition but alternatively it slacks the rights of privacy which is an essential factor in the defining the prospects of FREEDOM of EXPRESSION.
NTA from the past has been very ridged and orthodox toward internet and its uses in Nepal. Recently, in its attempt it had enforced the concept of using blocking software to prohibit pornographic website where few of the websites are still blocked. More or less with the effective dialogue and confrontation by ISPAN and ISOC Nepal they withheld the concept of using blocking software butsome of the websites are still blacklisted.
"We are not against the blocking of pornographic website but we are against the use of filtering software because there are more conditions applied with the filtering software which needs to be understood and worked on," said Tanka Kafle, IT Professional.
According to the press release of ISPAN on April 11 2011, quotes, "ISPAN has launched a protest program demanding a safe working environment for the Internet service industry. In this regard, the association has received a letter from the Nepal Telecommunications Authority dated 2067/12/27 addressing the association's demands by forming a committee under the leadership of NTA's director and committing to take concrete measures to address the issues. ISPAN welcomes NTA's efforts and has decided to postpone its protest program to disrupt the Internet while continuing its other protest programs. However, if ISPAN demands are not met by Baishakh 8, 2068 and a concrete solution to create a safe environment for operating the Internet service industry is not provided by the concerned parties by then, we will be compelled to repeat our program to disrupt Internet services."
Highlighting the rigidity of NTA, accessnow.org launched a campaign "Nepal Shutdown Showdown" from April 22, 2011. The campaign focuses towards Internet freedom in Nepal and addressed the issues toward Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal and Chairman Bhesh Raj Kanel of the Nepal Telecommunications Authority.
The campaign further says, "The Nepalese government is attacking ISPs that are trying to keep the internet free from censorship and police surveillance. While their employees are harassed and arrested, Nepalese ISPs are standing up for their users. Last week, the Nepalese ISPs effectively went on strike, shutting down the internet for an hour in the name of internet freedom."

The second Gulfstream G250 business jet - serial number 2002 - made its maiden flight on 25 March at co-developer Israel Aerospace Industries' Tel Aviv base.
The super-midsize aircraft - which will replace the G200 in service - flew for 1h 57min, reaching an altitude of 20,000ft (6,100m) and a speed of 195kt (360km/h), says Gulfstream. "The first test article has amassed more than 70 flight hours since its first flight in December, and has reached its maximum certified speed and altitude of Mach 0.85 and 45,000ft respectively," it adds.
The G250 flight-test and certification programme involves three aircraft and around 1,300h of testing. "Each aircraft is used for a specific series of tests, with S/N 2001 focused on in-flight performance and handling, S/N 2002 on avionics and S/N 2003 on systems functionality and reliability. Evaluation of the airframe structure and new PlaneView TM 250 avionics package is under way, with testing of the fatigue article to begin later this year," says Gulfstream.
With certification and first deliveries of the G250 planned for next year, Gulfstream has begun a "cabin mock-up tour" of the USA in an attempt to increase exposure and stimulate sales of the Honeywell HTF7250G-powered aircraft.

Kanye West Loves Kim Kardashian's Love Handles, Doesn't Want Her to Lose Weight: Report
Kim Kardashian may be celebrating her recent weight loss, but her boyfriend, Kanye West, apparently isn't quite as pleased!
According to a report in OK Magazine (via Hollywood Life), the rapper reportedly prefers a curvier woman and can't stand to see his lady cooped up in the gym and stuck on crazy diets.
"Kanye loves her curves and has told her repeatedly that she shouldn't get too skinny," a source told the magazine. "Kanye can't understand why she has lost weight when she knows it's not the look he likes. He thinks Kim should be doing everything to please him — not herself!"
So how does Kim feel about her new beau's preferences? "Kim was speechless, especially when he told her he missed her love handles," a family insider told the mag.
While we don't think Kanye should try to control Kim, we can't help but (somewhat) agree with his reasoning.
"He's always encouraging her just to be happy and healthy and do things for herself and not give in to peer pressure," the source said. "Which is why he doesn't think she should lose weight."

Metamorphosis – Nature's Ultimate Transformer
By Page Baluch
Illustrated by Sabine Deviche
show/hide words to know
- Chitin: a material found in the living world such as the outer surface (exoskeleton) of insects and crustaceans... more
- Complete metamorphosis: a change in body form with four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.
Imagine if your body could change its shape and the things it could do. You might start out walking on the ground with two legs and then later develop wings to fly. Maybe you begin your life with gills and fins so you can breathe and swim under water and then later grow a set of lungs and legs so you could live on dry land. Does this sound like a fantastic and unbelievable story to you? It isn't. Every day there are animals that make these types of changes as part of a process called metamorphosis.
The word "metamorphosis" comes from the Greek and means to transform. There are a lot of examples of this type of change. Frogs start out as eggs, then become tadpoles before becoming adults. Fish, such as salmon, must transform so they can move from fresh water to salt water and back to freshwater. Both of these changes are impressive, but maybe the most amazing animal transformation happens in the insect world. For some insects it is possible to begin life crawling and eating and later change into an amazing flying animal. In fact, many insects experience extreme changes as they grow and develop to become adults.
People change too, but our development is not as impressive as that of insects. Humans have a skeleton on the inside of their bodies, where the bones can grow longer and thicker as they get older. Insects have an exoskeleton, which means that their skeleton is on the outside of their body. An exoskeleton is made of chitin which is a strong and hard material. Unlike human skin, chitin is not stretchy and insects must make new skeletons as they grow larger. To do this, they will grow and change as they go through different stages. This transformation is called a metamorphosis.
Most insects begin life as an egg and hatch within a few days of being laid. But there are some insects that will live through an entire season as an egg before hatching. The insects that stay in the egg longer need more time to grow and become strong enough to live outside of the egg. When the temperature becomes warm and comfortable these tiny insects will break out of their eggs, and depending on the species, will go through an incomplete or a complete metamorphosis.

The Iranian reinsurance segment increased at a review-period CAGR of 30.2% (2008â2012). Despite the global economic crisis, the segment registered a year-on-year growth of 16.3% in 2009. The segment had the highest growth rate in the world of 44.3% in 2011. The uptake of motor third-party liability policies with the introduction of compulsory motor third-party liability insurance in Iran supported the growth of the reinsurance segment in 2011.
According to Article 71, both life and non-life insurers must cede 50% of their premium to Iranian Central Insurance (Bimeh Markhazi), which dominated the reinsurance segment as well as regulating, expanding and guiding the overall industry. The growth of all three segments is expected to advance the forecast-period (2012â2017) growth of the reinsurance

Valerie Graves, 55, was found dead with significant head and facial injuries at the property in Bosham, West Sussex, on December 30. Police have not arrested anyone in connection with the killing.
Ms Graves had graduated in textile design from Heriot Watt University seven years ago and set up her own crafts studio at Harestanes, near Jedburgh, Roxburghshire.
She had only moved to West Sussex in the past few months to look after her elderly mother.
Fiona Waldron, Head of the School of Textiles and Design at Heriot Watt University in Galashiels, Selkirkshire, said: "She was a creative person with a wide range of artistic interests and will be much missed."
Douglas Hunter, who also had a studio at Harestanes, said Ms Graves was well liked, popular with her neighbours and a respected member of the artistic community.
"She had won awards for various projects," he said.
Detectives say they are keeping an open mind as to the motive for the murder and have not ruled out the possibility of a break-in. A "large number" of officers are working on the case.

But no matter your accent, we're glad you're here and able to explore one of New England's best-kept secrets. The hometown to more than a dozen colleges and universities, Worcester is one of the region's largest metro areas.

Coronary heart disease occurs when blood vessels to the heart muscle do not function normally.

Cedar Rapids-The ball has taken some strange bounces in the Iowa-Indiana football series. In 2007 IU quarterback Kellen Lewis picked up a loose ball that had been fumbled by one of his receivers and took it to the end zone as part of a 38-20 Hoosier victory.
In 2009 Indiana was leading Iowa and on the verge of scoring again, the Tyler Sash grabbed a ball that had pin balled off 4 different players and he took it 92 yards for a touchdown that turned the game around.
Iowa rallied for a 42-24 victory.

It's shallow, there is no.... Anything else, random matches, dream match overkill to the point where none of the matches end up meaning anything, but like I said, a great live wrestling show. But when compared to othe promotions, it really doesn't stack up. Their actual roster is pretty weak and without outside talent, they wouldn't really have a leg to stand on. There is simply nothing to it, a shallow indy company. More importantly, it's a lazy indy company that knows it doesn't have to try very hard for it's lofty fanbase.
PWG can afford to just chuck out random matches, they don't have all the issues and concerns like real wrestling companies have with TV, storylines and progession using a consistant roster. All PWG is, is random matches. Just random meaningless match after random meaningless match that doesn't even matter what happens in it, as by the time the next show rolls around, it's pretty much all forgotten.
I'm fine with saying PWG is great and has been on fire since 2009, but it can't really be compared with anything else without looking like a joke.

I recently started hiding my Dock. I haven't done that in over a decade, but I was ready for a change. But I'm not the most patient person in the world and waiting for the Dock to pop back up became a bit of a drag. So I looked around in com.apple.Dock and found an autohide-delay option. Setting that to -float 0 restored some sanity back into an already hectic enough world:
defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide-delay -float 0
Then restart the Dock:
killall Dock
When you kill the Dock, it's gonna' reopen all the stuff you might have minimized down there. Well, this was close, but then this turned out to make me much happier (turns out I'm not as impatient as I thought):
defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -float 0.1
Hope you find this useful! If not, to undo all of this:
defaults delete com.apple.dock autohide-delay
defaults delete com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier

Who was the state's last Democratic governor? If you think it was Ann Richards, think again. The correct answer is right there in your copy of the Texas constitution.

Like pulling an all-nighter with the aid of caffeine pills, protesting a speech by a controversial political figure is a time-honored tradition on college campuses.

Visitors to a cemetery have been warned to be careful where they tread... after giant holes have appeared, exposing unmarked graves.
Cemetery bosses have revealed they have never before seen graves sinking into the ground at Gravesend on such a scale.
Several plots in the Old Road West cemetery have so far sunk below ground level - exposing several holes.
But backfilling has so far not had much of an effect, as the heavy rain has seen the soil compact down.
Now visitors have been warned to be careful walking in the cemetery - as holes may be lying underneath a mere "carpet" of grass.
The graves, including those at the Northfleet cemetery in Springhead Road, have been sinking into the ground over the last fortnight.
A council spokesman said: "It is quite common for graves to sink - especially after a period of heavy rain.
"However none of the current staff has seen anything on this scale. Both cemeteries have been affected but Northfleet is smaller and has been more manageable.
"There are two main reasons why it has happened.
"One is graves are backfilled with loose soil and they sink again once that soil gets so wet and heavy it compacts.
"One of the first areas that showed a problem had been backfilled three times and needed doing again.
"Secondly in the old section of the cemetery the graves are deeper, so there are larger cavities for the soil to sink into.
"We have been working hard to top up the affected graves using extra staff from other teams and the Team Green. It is a gradual process but it is a priority to deal with them."
Some of the graves have been taped off to keep people away from certain areas.
Families have been visiting the site to check on family members buried there.
A sign warns: "The ground staff are backfilling them as soon as they can, but due to the scale of the problem, have had to tape off some areas where the situation is particularly bad.
"Please be careful when walking on the grass as sometimes the soil has compacted but the grass remains like a carpet over the hole."
