The NFL. Sure, it has its merits. But up until a short while ago, it was still a passive experience. Then along comes Fantasy Football. And, lo and behold, with it came a reason to tune into every single NFL game from every week, because the outcome of every play meant – and probably still means – the possibility of whipping shit on your friend for your obvious superiority in selecting the most chemically perfect formula of football players who are clearly executing the specific plan that you personally have designed for them. It's like rocket science… but with heart and concussions.
Dudes, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the final season of Lost is going to be c-blocked by the Winter Olympics. Also your mom and I are taking things to the next level.According to Carlton Cuse, Lost will take a break after the first few episodes while NBC airs the Winter Games. The show is expected to return in March.This news comes as a total bummer but on the brightside we won't care much anymore come March. We can get through this together, you guys. (IGN)
Before I Self Destruct Trailer – Watch more Funny Videos 50 Cent can now rightfully don an askew director's cap as he has just released the trailer for his directorial debut Before I Self Destruct. Curtis Jackson aka Fitty aka Mr. Ferrari also stars in the low budget flick where he shows off his acting range (For instance, in some scenes he holds a gun and in others he does not). Beyond that it just seems like inaudible mumbling. And if 50 Cent's albums are any indication, inaudible mumbling sells like hotcakes. The cops is at your Nana's house.

Paranormal Activity is an undoubted success. It cost $11,000 to make and has raked in over $62 million at the box office. I don't have a calculator on hand but when you do the math the profits equal a f*ckload. Of course a sequel is being talked about but more importantly the attention has warranted a pornographic knock-off. Or knockers-off, in this case:Dread Central has alerted us to Jim Wynorski's Para-Knocker's Activity. Yes, the Spielberg of Boob Cinema is taking on the ghost genre and giving it a kinky edge. Filming is slated to begin right after Halloween (presumably because Halloween props will be marked down). Look for it this Spring at the Cans Film Festival.
In her latest gig, Stana Katic plays the sultry, flirtacious Detective Kate Beckett in the Castle, giving Nathan Fillion a run for his money every week. Insert your own "frisking" joke here. Watch the show and I think you'll agree that there's something about her. Her commanding presence makes you want to willingly obey. A word from Stana: "It was my first time kissing a woman and I had a great time with her."Are you planning on doing this again? When? Will it be in an open forum? Do tickets go on sale soon? Can I buy them directly through the venue because I really hate paying exorbitant service charges. Here are some more pics after the jump, free of charge!

The TV Subtitling Industry is set to make a bundle this January as mumbly British comic Ricky Gervais has been hired to host the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards. This comes as no surprise as The Office star has crushed as a presenter at the Emmys for the last few years. Apparently, he's been approached to host other awards shows in the past but never had an interest. In a statement, Gervais… err… stated: "I have resisted many other offers like this, but there are just some things you don't turn down. Not only is this the biggest Hollywood celebration of the industry which includes both film and TV, but also an environment where I feel I can get free reign as a host."The noms for this year's Globes will be announced in December. Gervais appeared most recently in The Invention of Lying and will be seen next in his day-to-day life looking like a human/mole hybrid. (First Showing)
Chris Farley & David Spade Direct TV Commercial – Watch more Funny Videos Direct TV has a new ad that re-creates the "Fat Guy In A Little Coat" scene from Tommy Boy. Many feel the ad is in poor taste given Chris Farley's sad end and are appalled that David Spade would take part. However, in Spade's defense the cable provider did get the consent of the Farley family before he accepted all that blood money. Regardless of your stance on the ethics of advertising, I think that the real lesson here is that life is fleeting and can be torn away from us at any time. Like so many little coats.

According to io9, James Cameron may have spontaneuously come up with the concept for Avatar after reading Poul Anderson's 1957 sci fi novella Call Me Joe, and then conveniently forgetting that he read it:Like Avatar, Call Me Joe centers on a paraplegic — Ed Anglesey — who telepathically connects with an artificially created life form in order to explore a harsh planet (in this case, Jupiter). Anglesey, like Avatar's Jake Sully, revels in the freedom and strength of his artificial created body, battles predators on the surface of Jupiter, and gradually goes native as he spends more time connected to his artificial body.Cameron is no stranger to accusations of plagiary. After Terminator's release, writer Harlan Ellison sued the production company for ripping off two episodes he wrote for The Outer Limits. The company settled and Ellison is acknowledged in the film's credits.As far as Avatar is concerned, at least Cameron had the creative insight to change the name of the title from Call Me Joe. Sounds like a biopic of Joe The Plumber, who would undoubtedly be played by a bald Tim Allen.
Paul Haggis is best known as the Academy Award-winning writer and director of the 2004's Crash aka the Love Actually: Racist Edition. He's not as well known for his dance moves but trust me, dude does a sick robot. Anyhow, the writer/director/dance-fiend is in the news today because he has decided to end his 35 year relationship with Scientology. Incensed that the San Diego's branch of the Church has supported Propostion 8, the anti-gay marriage ballot, Haggis wrote an angry letter to church spokesman Tommy Davis. Here is an excerpt of the controversial letter: "Why are you so dumb?" Oops. Sorry I paraphrased. Here's the actually excerpt: "As you know, for ten months now I have been writing to ask you to make a public statement denouncing the actions of the Church of Scientology of San Diego. […] I called and wrote and implored you, as the official spokesman of the church, to condemn their actions. I told you I could not, in good conscience, be a member of an organization where gay-bashing was tolerated. […] The church's refusal to denounce the actions of these bigots, hypocrites and homophobes is cowardly. I can think of no other word. Silence is consent, Tommy. I refuse to consent."Many members of Hollywood were very vocal in their opposition to Prop 8. Will Haggis's leaving the Church inspire others to jump ship or will it inspire Hollywood to turn its back on Paul Haggis? When making your decision please note that unlike Xenu, Haggis doesn't have his own spacecraft. I think he has a Saab or something. [THR]
Ali Larter wore the whip cream bikini seen 'round the world. We all remember, and it's the only time we ever wished we were James Van Der Beek. Okay, maybe also in Dawson's Creek a few times when him and Katie Holmes got cozy, but that's it. Ali's starred in Heroes as Nicky since the show's beginning, but as of yet has not donned a whip cream bikini in any of the episodes. Hey Heroes producers, Sweeps is coming up soon. Wink wink. WINK! A word from Ali: "I hate pretty-looking boys. I'd rather have a guy with a potbelly than one who's in the gym all the time and watches what he eats."Hmmmm, somehow I doubt this. Ali recently got married and I'm almost positive the lucky guy doesn't resemble Artie Lange. No one wants that, Ali. No one.Evidence that someone's been going to the gym after the jump!
Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz has been silent thus far in the back-and-forth speculation on whether or not the cult favorite will find its way to the big screen. Until now. While appearing on a panel alongside series executive producer and Hollywood's beloved ginger Ron Howard, he was asked about the status of the film. Hurwitz confirmed that it is happening and he will be directing. When pressed for more details, Hurwitz only commented that the script will feature "a heavy jail presence." So there you have it. Once again, not much substantial info. The stars haven't been contacted and the project doesn't appear on any production schedules. So let's reclassify this one from a "Maybe" to a "Strongish Maybe Kinda". Don't let this one linger in Production Limbo too long. It very well may be our last chance to see Scott Baio on the big screen. (The Playlist)

Nathan Fillion finally has a hit that isn't a cult hit! Well Castle isn't so much a hit as it is a procederial with a steady viewership. Personally, I'm a big fan of the show, and as always, Fillion flaunts his wit and impeccable timing. In the clip he makes his former boss proud by donning the Captain Mal duster from Firefly while referencing Buffy, and a little Underworld thrown in there for good measure. And all in under two minutes! I'm sure Whedon is beaming in between frowns due to Dollhouse's eminent death.
A quick trip over to Rotten Tomatoes will show you that Amelia, which opens this weekend, has a favorable rating of about 20%. For those of you who don't know, that percentage means the movie sucks on a collective level. But you probably didn't need some Tomatometer, scientific as it is, to tell you that. After all, does the real life story of the first woman to not fly around the world sound exciting? Christ, why didn't they just make a movie about my grandma? She didn't fly around the world either, but unlike Amelia Earhart, she didn't have a butch haircut. Plus, my grandma made some delicious pierogi. All Amelia made was a wrong turn.*My point is this: if for some reason you are going to make a movie about someone who didn't do something, there are a lot more impressive failures to choose from. Here are five of them.Marv Levy and the Buffalo Bills – Not Winning Super Bowls
Tanedra Howard was the winner of Scream Queens on VH1 this past season, and her prize? A part in the new Saw movie. That Saw movie? Saw VI. Let's hope her performance as a woman in distress attached to a medieval torture device skyrockets her to fame and fortune. Or at least lands her a role in Saw VII as a woman in distress attached to a medieval torture device. A word from Tanedra: "I like drama, and I would love to do action. Blow me up, throw me from a plane, let me jump off a building."That's stunt work, not acting. It may be easier to find employment, but the Academy won't recognize you as an integral and award-worthy element of cinema. You ever see Meryl Streep get thrown out of a plane, save the infamous scene from Kramer Vs. Kramer?Check out more scream queen pics after the jump (out of a plane)!

UGO reports that unsung actor Dylan Baker confirmed he will be making a return to the Marvel Universe in Sam Raimi's forthcoming Spider-Man sequel. In fact he had received his first call regarding the film just yesterday. Baker has appeared in both Spider-Man 2 and 3 as Dr. Curt Conners, better known as the web-slinger's scaly nemesis, The Lizard. Baker also reportedly stated that he would essentially have a background role, but no one is sure whether or not it's a joke and he'll finally transform from a mild-mannered Empire State University professor into the lab coat-wearing reptile. You can currently see Dylan Baker in screenwriter-turned writer-director Michael Dougherty's Trick 'r Treat, available on DVD.

A new clip from Robert Zemeckis's A Christmas Carol has crash landed like your embarrassment of an uncle after a few too many eggnog cocktails. That's a compliment. To the movie. Your uncle's a mess.If you're not familiar with the Dickens classic, then don't watch, because for some reason the studio decided to put the ending online before the movie hits theaters. If you are familiar with it, then I encourage you to watch, if only to see how far Zemeckis's animated filmmaking has come since Polar Express, in which all the characters looked like they hailed from the Village of the Damned. But this time around, Scrooge and company actually seem like they have soul. Not James Brown level, or even on the level of your fat uncle when he busts out the soundtrack to The Commitments and tries to sing along, which only ends up getting the cats all hot and bothered. But it's a step in the right direction.
Typical "Entertainment Tonight" puff piece here, but something worth checking out at the 1:30 mark. Is it just us, or does District 9's Sharlto Copley, who's been cast as Howlin' Mad Murdock, look a whole helluvalot like Dirk Benedict's version of Face from the original "A-Team" series?
I like to think of Shawnee Smith as the face of the Saw franchise mainly because Tobin Bell and a creepy puppet aren't much to look at. James Wan, the original director of Saw, had a crush Shawnee since he was 14, which is why he decided to cast her as Amanda. Now she's been getting hypodermic needles in her arms and reverse bear traps clamped to her face for years now, and I'm sure she couldn't be happier about it. A word from Shawnee: "One of the most breathtaking moments in my life was meeting Anthony Cumia. His boyish charm really moved me." If you think meeting a morning talkshow disc jockey is breathtaking wait until you meet a writer of an entertainment blog. Those guys'll knock your socks off with their boyish charm and rugged, Cheetos covered fingertips. Check out more breathtaking moments of still photography after the jump!
MSNBC mistakes Jesse Jackson for Al Sharpton – Watch more Funny VideosWell… kudos, I guess, to MSNBC's Contessa Brewer for not disappearing and leaving a Contessa Brewer-shaped cloud of dust after having the Reverend Jesse Jackson remind her that he is, in fact, not the Reverend Al Sharpton as she introduced him. Apparently MSNBC thinks all wise, elderly black reverends are named Rev. Al Sharpton. Or else they thought Al Sharpton was coming, and he cancelled at the last minute, leaving them with one choice: get "the other one." Then some poor intern forgot to change the script… and the rest pretty writes itself. Tune in to "Countdown" this evening, when Keith Olberman interviews star of the Lethal Weapon series, Forrest Whitaker.

Hot Chicks Trapped in a Cave – Watch more Funny Videos According to the end critic quote in the above trailer, The Descent 2 is the "Feel sh*t scared film of the decade." I'm not quite sure where on the unofficial Scare Meter 'sh*t scared' lands, but it's gotta be well above 'piss scared.' I've been piss scared before but never sh*t scared, nor do I have the desire to become so frightened by a film that it causes me to involuntarily evacuate my bowels right smack dab there in the theater. You think pop corn butter's hard to get up… The trailer does have a few good moments, but in order to beat its predecessor it's going to have to work all kinds of magic, or provide laxitives upon theater entrance.

YouTuber jkpyle posted this impressive mashup trailer, which runs Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler through the grindhouse. What comes out is as bloody and chills-inducing as Randy "The Ram" Robinson's hand after he caught it in the deli slicer.
Below are a couple new clips from This Is It, the Michael Jackson tribute film that arrives in theaters next week for a 2-week limited run that we're sure, based on pre-ordered tickets alone, will get extended. The first clip is a featurette that gives us a glimpse of just how huge this concert tour was going to be and how meticulous the preparation had to be to pull it all off.
Every new image or clip of The Wolfman gets me less and less excited for the film's release… and now comes the second full trailer, which ends up playing out like some sort of Victorian version of The Fast & The Furious.
Welcome to Cougar Town. Betsy Russell may be in her forties, but damn if she doesn't make us do a double take. She's been starring in the Saw movies as Jill since Saw III, but you may better remember her in the role of 'Girl' in a 1982 episode of Family Ties. Also, we can't show you the NSFW pics on our site, but Betsy rode horseback in Private School…without a shirt. Sounds painful. A word from Betsy: "Saw VI answers the question, 'What's in my box?'"(Slack-jawed blank stare) One ticket, please! First, Betsy's box and then Cameron Diaz's next month. The mysteries of the universe are about to be revealed to us. The pics after the jump deliver, but not as much as you'd hope.
Choreographer-turned-director Adam Shankman has been tapped to co-produce this year's Oscar telecast. The Hairspray director and So You Think You Can Dance judge will take the reins with movie executive Bill Mechanic. A fact my brosefs and I are way stoked about. I can imagine it now. A long game of touch football in the park, then a nice walk in the crisp winter air, quick stop-off for some tapas and then me and the bros will all curl up and see how the Shank-Man can butch up the Academy Awards. I mean, did you see Zac Efron's Pool Party? That was a machismo fiesta. Reminded me of my fraternity days. (Variety)

Although there are no studies that indicate that Red Bull is bad for a person's health, the ingredients in this drink can cause an increase in heart rate and blood pressure. It can also cause dehydration. Red Bull is an energy drink that contains ingredients such as taurine, caffeine, niacin and vitamins B-12 and B-6.Know More
Because Red Bull can contain ingredients that are stimulants, people with heart problems or hypertension should be aware of this. Health professionals can advise that people with these conditions exercise care with this product. Drinking an energy drink after exercising is also unwise because it causes dehydration.People should not mix energy drinks with alcohol because it may be dangerous, according to Brown University. This combination also may make people drink more.Learn more about Beverages
The best way to get sponsored by Red Bull is to become a very skilled skateboarder, gain reputation through various contests, film a demonstration of skills and tricks and send that information to Red Bull. The company may sponsor non-skateboarders but have historically favored this group.Full Answer >
Skim milk is not necessarily bad for people; however, some studies suggest that due to its lower caloric content, skim milk does not make people feel as full, so they often consume more food. Skim milk is still an excellent source of vitamin D and calcium.Full Answer >

What is the best way to configure SEP and live updates? I've got the local site set to download from the default LU server, daily, and the download start time window is 8am to 9am. I've also got the LU policy for the client group to pull updates from the management server.
Is there a set time that Symantec releases updates to be downloaded from that default site?
I need our machines to be updated as recently as possible from an internal server. Does Symantec have a "best practices" document for live updates?

Beta Gamma Sigma Turns 100, Fisher Students Celebrate
Thursday, February 21, was no ordinary day for the St. John Fisher College School of Business; it marked the 100th birthday of Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS), the International Honor Society serving business programs accredited by AACSB International (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business). And Fisher's BGS chapter threw a birthday party.
Amanda Scheutzow, Management major and current BGS liaison for the College, organized the event with other BGS members.
"I have been trying to increase awareness of Beta Gamma Sigma and our chapter on campus, and thought that having a mini birthday party to celebrate its centennial might help," said Scheutzow. "I wanted to remind members that this is a special day and that being a lifetime member does matter."
Faculty, staff, students, and current BGS members attended the celebration in the Campus Center Atrium. Dr. David Martin, Dean of the School of Business, and Dr. Jason Berman, Professor of Management, served as emcees and came dressed in their regalia. Each said a few words on behalf of Fisher's BGS chapter, and stressed the important significance and academic achievement that is associated with being a BGS member, and the lifetime benefits and career connections that are available to members after graduation. Additionally, they talked about some of the service projects the Fisher chapter has tackled.
A recent example Berman highlighted was when Fisher BGS members participated in a Day of Service which involved going to School No. 19 and reading stories to the students, all while dressed in Halloween costumes. According to Berman, BGS was so impressed with the service that the Fisher students displayed, they granted a $250 scholarship to the chapter. During the birthday celebration, the surprise scholarship was awarded to BGS member Katie Fandrich, an Accounting student, who was part of the winning team at the 2013 Deloitte Tax Competition.
Scheutzow finished the celebration by handing out raffle prizes, singing "Happy Birthday," and cutting the cake.
"The celebration only lasted a half hour, but its impact may be felt long afterward if we are able to reach students now and inspire their hard work and achievement," said Berman.
They had cake!

Winemaker's Notes
(From 2010 Vintage)
The 2010 is medium to full-bodied, with soft tannins, low acidity, sweet, licorice-infused black currant fruit and a whiff of underbrush. A beauty, it should drink nicely for 10 years or more. A blend of three-quarters Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot.
Pascale Peyronie marks the fourth generation of this family-owned and operated winery. She is one of only a few female winemakers in the Paulliac sub-region of Bordeaux. The winery is surrounded by some of the biggest names in Bordeaux, and Pascale is making sure people know it.

Intro To Human Geography: People, Places, & Landscapes Chapter 10: Patterns of Development & Change Paul Sutton firstname.lastname@example.com Department of Geography University of Denver Outline • What is Economic Development? • How can one compare countries" Economies • Measures of Gross National Product (GNP) • Geography of Exchange Rates • GNP and the environment • GNP and the quality of Life • Theories of Economic Development • Global Patterns of Economic development • National Economic Development Policies • Transportation & Information Infrastructure and relationships to Economic development • Distribution of Wealth and Economic Development What is Economic Development? • Economic Development: Improving the economic productivity (as measured in money) of a nation. • Questions: (absolute or per capita?) (How is wealth distributed?) Sustainable Development "Development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs." This simple definition /sentence has spawned research industries, international debates, and considerable attention. A formal, explicit, and practical definition of "sustainable" has yet to be identified. Nonetheless, Bruntland must be credited for causing a profound shift in the collective consciousness of the human race for coining such a phrase. Why do governments want economic development? • …"to promote the general welfare, maintain domestic stability……." • Raise standards of living to maintain power and authority • What effect is globalization having on economic development? • How do national policies vary with respect to promoting economic development? Analyzing and Comparing the Economies of different nations • Are national statistics "apples and oranges"? • The word "statistic" is derived from the word "state". Benjamin Disraeli (past prime minister of Britain) knew that countries count things differently and might even lie in order to exaggerate their power or achievement or to conceal relative backwardness, thus many national statistics are unreliable. …."Lies, Damn lies, and Statistics" • Can we think of examples where countries might lie about : Birth Rates? Poverty? Nuclear Capability? Example of Problems with "Statistics": Japan in 1989 • In 1989 the leading economic newspaper of Japan (Nihon Keizai Shumbun) reported the following: Japan is the world"s richest country with total assests of land, stocks etc. of $43.7 trillion U.S. at that time only worth $36.2 trillion (according to the U.S. Fed Reserve Board) Japan"s per capita wealth more than twice U.S. The city of Tokyo worth more than the whole U.S. - Does this make sense to you? - Strikes me that Economics is a funny discipline GNP and GDP definitions and problems • GDP (Gross Domestic Product): the total value of all goods and services produced within a country • GNP (Gross National Product): the total income of a country"s residents regardless of where income comes from Example: I declare the state of "Suttonia": I make wind chimes and drums on my land and make $100,000 a year doing so. I also invest in a shoe factory in Indonesia making Nike shoes with slave labor. I receive $60,000 a year from this investment. Four people live in "Suttonia" and only I am working. The GDP of Suttonia is $100,000. The GNP of "Suttonia" is $160,000. The GDP/capita is $25,000 and the GNP/capita is $40,000 The GNP/GDP is 1.6 as is the GNP/Capita /GDP/capita ratio. The income of the other four residents of "Suttonia" is zero. What does that say about the distribution of wealth in "Suttonia"? [See The GINI coefficient on the next slide] • What do GNP and GDP mean relative to one another? GDP measures economic productivity of a space GNP measures economic productivity of a people in a space If GNP greater than GDP the people of that space are deriving some of their wealth from people outside that space If GNP is less than GDP the people of that space are producing wealth for people outside that space The GINI coefficient: A measure of the distribution of wealth Distribution of Wealth in a The Kingdom of Suttonia perfectly socialist State: GINI = 0 %Age of Wealth %Age of Wealth h it h w it e ew e ne v lin curv ient e li l cur icien t the al f ic th en actua coeff een actu oef e e t w he etw the INI c a b d t GIN I a b nd e G are 1 an f the are a h e he e = 1 e of t T p T h ope = ue o slo valu sl val he he is t is t 0 25 50 75 100 0 25 50 75 100 %Age of Population %Age of Population GINI curve typical of GINI curve typical of India or Brazil: Large Value Sweden or Norway: Low Value %Age of Wealth %Age of Wealth h it h w it e ew e ne v lin cu rv ient th e li l c u r i c ie n t the al ffi c en actua coeff e en c t u tw the a NI co e we be bet the INI e a a nd h e G I rea 1 and the G ea r 1 t ea Th ope = ue of T h pe = u e o f s lo val sl v al he he is t is t 0 25 50 75 100 0 25 50 75 100 %Age of Population %Age of Population Explanation of GINI coefficient What countries have what kind of GNP to GDP ratios? • Kuwait (1990) GNP/GDP = 1.35 • United States (1990) GNP/GDP = 1.01 • Canada (1990) GNP/GDP = .95 • Ireland (1990) GNP/GDP = .87 • Brazil (1990) GNP/GDP = .86 • What number GNP or GDP is better for comparing people"s standard of living between nations? (mention GINI here) • What number GNP or GDP is better for comparing nations internal economies? Some problems with GNP and GDP measures • Both GNP and GDP measure goods and services exchanged in markets. Many countries (particularly the LDCs have large "informal" economies in which goods and services are not traded in "markets") • How will the "informal economy" influence measures of wealth? • Does this exacerbate or mitigate differences between MDCs and LDCs? • Because these measures undercount rural subsistence farming etc. urban areas dominate measures of economic productivity: Sao Paulo, Brazil (10% of Population, 25% of economy) Abidjan, Ivory Coast (15% Population, 70% of economy) (Does Abidjan strike you as a likely Primate City?) Could you survive for a whole year in the U.S. on $250? How could the women of Kenya double Kenya's GDP? The Geography of Exchange Rates and "Purchasing Power Parity" • GDP and GNP measures are often fail because there are "No Common Measures of Value" • The value of products and services are measured in local currencies that are changeable and can be manipulated • How much would you have to pay for a 5 lb bag of rice in: Denver? Beijing? Rural India? • Note: It would be a fair question on the final for you to put the above prices in at least ordinal order by using geographic reasoning and knowledge An interesting story about the U.S. Dollar between 1985 and 1990 • Between 1985 and 1990 the U.S. Government intentionally lowered the value of the dollar relative to the Yen and Western European currencies by 50%. • This had profound consequences: 1) American Goods cheaper to buy outside U.S. Thus… U.S. Exports up 80% 2) Foreigners invested Billions in the U.S. and millions more tourists to U.S. (note: the Japanese make Hondas in Tennessee now ) 3) In 1989 more tourism money to U.S. than out of U.S. (first time ever) 4) Summary results: Goods out (Exports up), Investment & Tourists in 5) Other results: Real kicker for globalization – Americans saw more foreigners on American soil, cultures exchanged yadda yadda yadda 6) American investment money stayed at home, Exports to the U.S. dropped, Many Foreign economies suffered What do you think happened to the price of a Lexus or a Volkswagen during that time? What is "Purchasing Power Parity"? • PPP attempts to measure what goods or services a certain amount of money will buy at different places • Just because the GDP/capita in Japan is $30,000 does not mean that an average Japanese can buy the same amount of "stuff" that an American making $30,000 can. • Great Example: Some 40 million Indians live in households making incomes of over 900,000 rupees (This is equivalent to about $30,000 U.S. dollars) However, its purchasing power is about $600,000 Is it really appropriate to call India a poor country? Gross Domestic Product and the Environment • Some Economists and their stupid accounting tricks 1) Standard Business Practice Machines and Buildings etc. counted as assets As they deteriorate (are used up) they are depreciated and this depreciation is called a loss. 2) Standard National Accounting Practice Call sales of Oil, Timber, & Water: profits Ignore the loss of natural resources as losses Call housing starts economic growth Ignore loss of housing from flood, fire, earthquakes An Oil Spill in Mexico Good for the Economy? You betcha. Where best: U.S., Mexico, or Ecuador? A wildfire in Laguna Beach Do you think these people are hoping their homes will burn down To help boost the local economy? Gross Sustainable Product • If natural resources were treated as assets, then statistics might (would) demonstrate that protecting the environment is good economic policy • Many people are working on a new statistic: Gross Sustainable Product (GSP) • The GSP would subtract the value of natural resources destroyed or depleted from the GNP • A Costa Rica study showed that 25% of GDP dissappeared due natural resource losses • A U.S. Study showed natural resource losses balanced by new resources found Incorporating impacts to productivity of renewable resources like fisheries, forests, agriculture, and water supplies and incorporating costs of impacts of loss of ecosystem services will further erode measures of GSP Is GSP a useful measure? GNP and "Quality of Life" • How would you think that GDP/capita covaries with: Energy Consumption, Food Supply, Literacy Rates, and Access to safe drinking water? • The relationships are not always obvious. Is it possible for Mexico to have a lower Death rate than the U.S. and a lower life expectancy? • Variability of "Quality of Life" index can vary more within a nation than between nations. Do you think the GINI coefficient could predict within country variation? The United Nations: Human Development Index (HDI) • 1/3(Purchasing Power Parity) + (1/3) Life Expectancy + (1/3) Adult Literacy • A multi-variable Index • Uruguay 30, South Korea 33, Saudi Arabia 84 (lower score better) The HDI endices for these countries opposite the GNP/Capita ($2,620, $5,454, $7,070) • These kinds of indexes are problematic because of debate over the variables to choose and the weights to be assigned to them • Population Growth and Economic Development (next slide) The Relative Sizes of National Economies This map type is called a "Cartogram". What does that mean? Per Capita Gross National Product What could I reasonably expect you to remember from this map? Categories of Per Capita GNP Where are the People? Where is the money? Human Development Index (1994) Looks like a map of money to me……….. Pre-Industrial, Industrial, and Post-Industrial Economies: Characterizing the Nature rather than the Magnitude of an Economy • Recall the primary (mining, farming), secondary (manufacturing), and tertiary (service) sectors of an economy • Sectoral Evolution: Pre-Industrial, Industrial, and Post- Industrial economies have the largest proportion of their population in the primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors of their economies respectively • White man shows up in Africa and observes that to become "great like me" an economy "evolves" from primary to secondary to tertiary. (any comments?) Pre-Industrial Societies Many Societies today are still "Pre-Industrial". Despite the fact A large proportion of their population works in the Agricultural Sector many have difficulty feeding themselves. How many of you work in Agriculture? Do you know anyone that does? Industrial Societies • As countries industrialize people move from agricultural labor to manufacturing. The proportion of workers in the primary sector diminishes as the proportion in the secondary sector increases. At some undefined point the economy is considered "secondary" or Industrial. In the U.S., for example, this transition occurred during WWI. (manufacturing employment exceeded agricultural employment) By 1925 manufacturing emplyoment represented the largest single occupational group in the U.S. • Is this progress? • Upton Sinclair might Disagree? (do you know who Sinclair is?) • What do WTO protesters have to do with this? Post Industrial Societies • What happens after Industrialization? Some would argue "exploitation". The standard line is that the workers of an Industrial society increasingly become involved in "Service" industries. Once that happens the economy is considered "Post-Industrial". This happened in the U.S. sometime between 1929 and 1945. In 1990 the "service" sector of the economy represented over 75% of the U.S. labor force. "Where do you see yourself working in 5 years?" Ironically some poor nations have large proportions of their population in "tertiary" or "service" sectors or their economies. GUESS WHY? • Bob Dylan"s Song: "Sundown on the Union" What does it say? (Who is Bob Dylan anyway?) • What does "Separation of Production & Consumption" mean to you? The "Post-Industrial" Economy • You Live in a "Post-Industiral" Economy. • What will you do for a living? • Is it sustainable? • To what extent are your needs met by the natural resources, labor, and capital in places outside the United States? • The U.S. GNP/GDP ratio is almost 1.0……Did the 1985-1990 devaluation of the Dollar relative to Yen and EU ameliorate this situation? • Ted Rall Cartoon: BONUS PRIZE …"But Jean Paul Sarte said…" How do the sectors of the Economy contribute to Gross Product? • 1/3 Pop. primary, 1/3 Pop. secondary, 1/3 Pop. tertiary DOES NOT MEAN 1/3 GDP primary, 1/3 GDP secondary, 1/3 GDP Tertiary • Value Added/worker greatest in Secondary (Manufacturing) (for now anyway ) • Millers get richer than Farmers & Manufacturers get richer than Miners. Millers and Manufacturers typically get richer than their Sales Reps. • This is one reason why some places get richer than others. Should the United States be concerned? Rostow"s "Stages of Growth" • The "natural" evolution of peoples are to "evolve" from "Hunter-Gatherer" to "Agriculture" to "Industrial" to whatever. • Is this Social Darwinism? • Is it reasonable? Why are some countries Rich and some countries Poor? • Natural Environmental Endowments of Raw Materials etc. DO NOT explain National Wealth • The Theory of Environmental Determinism has problems with this • "Adding Value" to raw material is key to Wealth • "Downstream Activities" are key to wealth creation because they are nearer the source of money. • Processing, Manufacturing, Transporting, Advertising, Insuring, Marketing, and Financing the flow of goods is more profitable than extracting the raw materials they are derived from. How did this happen? • Making things out of Copper Ore is more remunerative than the mining of the Ore itself • Grinding Wheat into flour is more remunerative than growing the Wheat in the first place • Raw Diamonds are valuable but the cutters, polishers, and sellers of Diamonds make more money than the Diamond miners. "Conceptual" Value Added The term "Value Added" has even been extended to conceptual value added, as in advertising. If a $10million advertising campaign convinces people to spend $100 million more for Brand X than for Brand Y, when those brands are, in fact, nearly identical, then $90 Million of value has been added to Brand X "conceptually". (pay no attention to the man behind the curtain) That $90 million can provide a lot of jobs. The conceptual value added to products by the advertising industry in New York City today is far higher than the value added by manufacturing in many of the world"s greatest manufacturing cities. The trademark of a good is often more valuable than the good itself. Selling brand name cookies can be more profitable than the total sum of revenue generated by growing the wheat, sugar, eggs, and production of the cookies themselves. (the Girl Scouts are making a killing ) The tertiary sector of the economy is chasing the secondary for "value added" domination. Note: If the world begins to "pay attention to the man behind the curtain" and realizes there is no reason to pay a difference when there is no difference, what will happen to the U.S. economy? Does anyone out there get the "man behind the curtain" reference? The United Fruit Company • Why is it that Oil producers can capture downstream activities but food producers cannot? • How many alternative sources of oil are there? How many alternative sources of food products? • The story of the United Fruit Company exemplifies the geography of "Value Added". In the 19 th century the company established banana plantations in Central America. Several countries came to depend economically on the export of bananas, and many aspects of their local cultures were consequently transformed. Their politics, for example, were manipulated internally by banana interests and externally by relations with the United States; their social structures reflected peoples" positions in the dominant export-oriented cash crop economy; the peoples" diet came to depend on imported staples. (ever bought clothes from "Banana Republic" ever wondered where the name came from or why?) The United Fruit Company owned the banana plantations and the ships that transported the bananas, and it marketed the bananas. Eventually many Central Americans began to resent the foreign control of the plantations, and they accused the company of "Yankee Imperialism". The company responded by abruptly surrendering many of its plantations to local governments. This might sound like a financial sacrifice, but what really happened? The company was no longer tied to one supply (its own plantations), so it could bargain with several potential suppliers (and play one off the other). The producers increased production in order to raise their incomes, but they increased production faster than demand could be raised. This only lowered prices. Competition among the suppliers reduced the price of bananas still further. As a result, the new plantation owners got poorer. Transporting bananas and marketing them- "adding conceptual value through name brand advertising'- is considerably more profitable than growing them, and it supposedly causes far fewer headaches for the company"s management. Eventually the company even changed its name to Chiquita Brands International, and it is now applying its valuable trademark to marketing other fruits from a great variety of sources worldwide. By focusing on downstream activities, the company transformed itself from a raw material supplier into a marketing company. Its profits fattened, while the countries that supplied the raw materiel got poorer. A similar tale could be told about almost any raw material or food supplier in the world today and its relationship with multinational corporations that control every aspect of handling and processing goods from the raw material to the final consumers. Compare the story of the United Fruit Company with the story of OPEC"s petroleum marketing networks. In that case, the suppliers of raw materials are themselves seizing control of downstream activities. Output of Secondary Sector as Percentage of GDP What is this a map of?

Known as "top down" or "command and control" economy Example countries include – Cuba, China •Laissez-faire Capitalism: Minimal government involvement in The business affairs of the country Example countries include– United States, Britain •Capitalism with State ownership of some industries. Many Latin American countries have nationally owned industries (e.g. Pemoco in Mexico). Many European nations have nationally Owned industries (25% GNP France, 11% in Germany) However, Privatization of these industries is running rampant particularly in Eastern Europe. •State Directed Capitalism: Many Asian countries do not own the private enterprises; however, their governments plan and regulate Their economies. This kind of situation is often referred to as an "Industrial Policy" Example story: South Korea is considered a capitalist, free-market economy, yet the government proposes national economic plans and subsidises some new industries. Industry is dominated by combinations of corporations that are affiliated by inter-locking dictatorships and ownership. Japan and Taiwan are similar. In the U.S. such situations/relationships would be broken up as illegal trusts. Fascistic top down 'Industrial Policy' while not 'communism' has its strengths and many people Feel that the U.S. should adopt some sort of 'Industrial Policy' to fight forces outside the U.S. Domestic Economic Geography • Countries try to organize their population, territory, and resources for economic production. • Education, Training, National Pride, and political stability are key to successful "nation building" • Internal Population Mobility: Workers are expected to move to jobs. Countries try to maintain "spatially homogenous" unemployment. Large spatial variability suggests inefficiency. • Why do people still live in Buffalo, NY? States with Frontiers • "Manifest Destiny" and other propaganda motivated much of the American population west. We occupied valuable territory and have benefited greatly from westward migration. • Brazil has similar concerns. They located their planned capital city "Brasilia" in their hinterlands. With economically and ecologically disatrous results. • The Island of Java is only 7% of Indonesia"s territory yet it houses 60% of its population. The government has made efforts to "spread" its population with little success. • Russia has similar problems with Siberia • Canada and many African nations have similar spatial distribution of population problems. National Transportation Infrastructures • Transportation and Communication Infrastructures enable economic, population and information mobility. • Problems arise when transporation corridors are undeveloped (e.g. Columbian oil fields controlled by rebels and drug dealers.) • Economic growth in profoundly enabled by transportation. India is working on this. • Africa is characterized by "Tap Routes" which benefit foreign exploitation more than pan- African development National Communications Infrastructure • You have lived in the "buzz of the information economy". You can"t eat information, you can"t drive it, nor will it build your house; nonetheless, it is clearly a tertiary if not fourth economy. Only time will tell how valuable information is. • In any case, a wealth of diverse sources of information supports both economic efficiency and development, and political liberty. • How "Diverse" is the information you presently receive? Why? • The U.S. and Canada have 40% of the world"s phones. Africa 1% This is changing rapidly (see next slide) • Information is a very unusual commodity. We could spend a whole quarter on this issue and only scratch the surface. • Any comments on your impressions of the Info Age you live in? New Paths for Economic Development • Wireless technology like Cell Phones are changing old ideas of economic development • Poor nations can develop sophisticated communications infrastructures without building expensive "Land-Line" com networks. • If China industrializes on the established patterns of Western Europe and the U.S. their CO2 emissions will dwarf historical emisssions. • Is there an "energy consumption" analog to the communications revolution/bypass. I hope so. National Spatial Data Infrastructure • Some people are arguing that Spatial Data that can be used in Geographic Information Systems also have institutional and public good value. • A good NSDI allows for more efficient use and allocation of resources, better urban and regional planning etc. • There is a huge digital divide in terms of hardware, software, data, and human capital National Trade Policy • Why do countries vary in the degree to which they participate in world trade and circulation? • To develop their own economy. • To ensure National Security. • To protect/maintain cultural identity. • Two Distinct approaches to addressing above concerns: Import-Substitution & Export-Led Import Substitution • Some countries subsidize "infant industries" in the hope that they will eventually achieve economies of scale and be able to compete in the global market place. (e.g. Brazil & computers, BTW it didn"t work) • The philosophy of "Import Substitution" is one of self- sufficiency and potential independence • Countries that chose "Import Substitution" as national economic polices fell behind countries that chose "Export-Led" policies. However, the tides are turning and debate is growing as to what policy is best. • The U.S. protects its textile workers with subsidies to the tune of $145,000 per job saved per year in the U.S. • Cheap labor outside the U.S. raises difficult questions… Export Led • Export Led National economic policies have been the "darling" policy of economists in the recent past. • Nations that adopted "Export Led" Policies (the Asian Tigers) have enjoyed greater economic growth than nations adopting "Import Substitution" Policies. • Export Led policies rely on global capital markets to facilitate international investment and global marketing networks to distribute products. Import Substitution vs. Export Led National Economic Policies • In many respects the debate of Export-Led vs. Import Substitution led economic growth national policy is a debate about globalization vs. Local or Regional Diversity. • Export-Led economic policy essentially recognizes and accepts dominant patterns of power and will ultimately result in a world of powerful Chinese, Americans, Europeans, Japanese, and eventually every ethnicity/nationality; However, the differences will dissappear and the international distribution of wealth will be uniform across the globe. The internal distribution of wealth will NOT be uniform. • Import Substition economic policy is an attempt at fighting globalization, maintaining national identity, and establishing independence culturally, economically and ideologically. Some Comments on Globalization: What"s Better, a homogenous globalized world; or, a world of differences economically, socially, and culturally? • Once we"re homogenized we won"t lynch people because they are black, hate them because they are Jewish, or blockade them because they live in Iraq. (Sounds good to me…………but) • Will "Mc-Gumbo" from McDonald"s really taste as good as a down-home gumbo from New Orleans tastes today? • Will the allure of "Mulan" or "Dark Angel" really work once the differences she derives her identity from are gone? (The media (particularly Disney) play strange roles in the forces for globalization – Bigger Markets eh?) • Are we ready to celebrate diversity? Pay for it? What is this a map of? Everything and Nothing. In a globalized world.

How to fight fevers in kids
Worried about how to treat fevers for your baby or toddler? Here are some stress-free tips. more
As your preschooler matures, she will become aware that she is heading towards 'big school' and will start modelling big school behaviour by attempting to write her name and parts of the alphabet. She will also enjoy craft activities - so stock up on the scrap paper, glitter and glue now!
And, as she begins to develop proper friendships with other children, she will become involved in plenty of imaginative play; so try to choose unstructured toys, such as wooden blocks or Duplo, that will encourage open-ended play.

Minute's applause before kick off
Many of Dave Wagstaffe's former team-mates will join members of his family in paying tribute to the Wolves legend with a minute's applause before Saturday's game with Gillingham at Molineux.
At the request of the Wagstaffe family, supporters at Saturday's game will be asked to join in a minute's applause in memory of the club legend, who passed away on Tuesday at the age of 70.
Former Wolves players invited to be present to pay tribute to their much-loved former colleague include Phil Parkes, John McAlle, John Richards, Kenny Hibbitt, Derek Parkin, Geoff Palmer, Steve Daley, Mel Eves, Willie Carr, Terry Wharton, Gerry O'Hara, Danny Hegan, Fred Davies and Phil Nicholls.
There is also a five-page tribute to the former Wolves winger – who made over 400 appearances for the club during 12 years at Molineux – in the matchday programme, to include of course page 11, and Waggy also features on the cover.
Fans planning to join in the minute's applause are advised to allow plenty of time to enter the stadium well in time for kick off.
There have also been suggestions from supporters on Social Media to also applaud again in the 11th minute of the game, marking the number which Wagstaffe sported during his Wolves career.

- Trivia & Quotes
Quotes (9)
Sheppard: Have we got enough energy to keep the shield up for re-entry? McKay: There'd better be. What, a city this size'll create considerable friction. We come in too fast or too steep and the shield could attenuate under the stress and the whole place'll be torn to shreds, or burn up, or both. Sheppard: (irritated) It never ends with you, you know?!
Weir: Oberoth is heading to the Core Room. (She looks at Rodney.) He knows it's us. McKay: (wide-eyed) How far is he? Can they make a run for it? Weir: No! Replicators are approaching from every direction. They're trapped. McKay: Which means they're as good as dead. (Sheppard, working on the tablet, looks up briefly.) Sheppard: (over the radio) We can hear you, you know!
McKay: Alright, here we go. (the HUD shows the field beginning to expand downwards.) Weir: It's working. McKay: Damn right it's working! It's encompassed the Core Room. You're good to go. (Sheppard turns in his seat and looks at Elizabeth, who nods to him it's safe to go.) McKay: What? You don't believe me, but you believe her? Sheppard: No offense. McKay: Offense taken!
McKay: Even if I do get it working, there's still a thousand things that could go terribly, terribly wrong. Sheppard: I get it. It's difficult, million to one odds, blah, blah, blah. McKay: Was there something else you needed, or were you here merely to prod and belittle? Sheppard: No, no. Not merely.
(Carter and Lee come through the gate) Lee: Oh my that's beautiful. Carter: Yeah it is. Lee: It's like Elwynn forest. Oh nothing it's one of the lands in Warcraft. That's a game I play...occasionally Carter: Ahh.
Notes (3)
Stargate: Continuum was filmed during production of this episode so some scenes were directed by Andy Mikita due to Martin Wood being in the Arctic.
This episode, and the previous one "Adrift", were leaked onto the internet on September 12, 2007. They were rough cuts without sound effects or music, as well as missing many computer generated scenes used solely for aesthetic purposes and scene changes.

Trivia (1)
Goof: Dr. Lee's backpack changes, in transport to the Apollo, from a large (internal frame) backpack to a small (frameless) backpack.
Allusions (3)
Lee: It's like Elwynn Forest. This is an allusion to the Elwynn Forest in the MMORPG game World Of Warcraft.
The Matrix: The way Dr. Weir sees the Replicator city resembles the way Neo sees the world in The Matrix movies.
Sheppard: Hold up, Chewie. This is a reference to the Star Wars character Chewbacca, a towering Wookiee best known as the co-pilot on Han Solo's ship, the Millennium Falcon.

Beezie Madden posted a win for the United States at the CHIO Aachen (Germany) on Thursday, July 14, in the Prize of Handwerk speed class.
Madden of Cazenovia, N.Y., rode Prima, owned by Neapolitan Holding Co. LLC, to the quickest round.
The Wall Street Journal online published a story about dressage equine superstar Totilas in the sports section on July 9.
Beezie Madden is the cover girl for the July-August issue of Today's CNY Woman, a women's lifestyle magazine in central New York.
"We chose Beezie because, first of all, we had just had the Syracuse [Invitational Horse Show from Nov. 2-7, 2010] so that's on everyone's minds. And she's just an essential New York woman," said Editor-In-Chief Cammi Clark.
Clark said Madden was the perfect candidate for the magazine because of her inspirational achievements as a female in the sport of show jumping.
Seven horses in Australia have died from the Hendra virus since June 26.
As of July 8, a total of nine properties in Queensland had been quarantined by Biosecurity Queensland. Two cases were also confirmed in neighboring New South Wales. The deadly virus is zoonotic, which means it can be transmitted from horses to humans, and 32 people are being monitored after exposure to the disease.
Ross Martin, Boyd Martin's father, passed away on Saturday night of the July 4 weekend after he sustained serious injuries in a cycling accident.
Ross was struck by a truck during a bicycle race near Newcastle, New South Wales, two weeks ago. According to Boyd's blog, Boyd was able to visit his father before he died and remains in Australia with his family.

Stirling Keaton St. Jacques was born at the Shands Hospital at the University of Florida in Gainesville, weighing in at 8 pounds, 3 ounces and measuring 21" long.
Stirling is the first child for the Anthony, Fla.-based eventer, who represented Canada at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and husband Pierre, who competed on the gold medal-winning U.S. dressage team at the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
The Dressage Foundation is seeking applications for scholarships totaling $94,000.
"Our hope is that the grant recipients will be able to increase their knowledge and abilities and then be able to share the information with others around them," said Jenny Johnson, administrative director of TDF. "This applies to any level of rider—from young riders to adult amateurs to high performance, as well as judges, instructors, and trainers."
Tina Cook's Olympic veteran, Miners Frolic, remains seriously ill in the Arundel Equine Hospital in West Sussex, England, where he has been suffering from colitis due to an adverse reaction to antibiotics since Monday, June 20.
The 2009 European Eventing Champion is currently stable but continues to undergo treatment for the life threatening digestive condition enterocolitis and associated endotoxemia.
"[Friday, June 24] I nearly lost him," Cook told Horse and Hound of "Henry."
Stephen Bradley's four-star mount Brandenburg's Joshua will retire from upper-level competition.
"Josh" carried Bradley, of Leesburg, Va., to three top 10 placings at the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event. The pair also competed on the gold medal team at the 2003 Pan American Eventing Championship in Fair Hill, Md.
The 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, held at the Kentucky Horse Park from Sept. 25-Oct. 10, generated an economic impact of $201.5 million, Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear announced today, June 27. The total surpassed original estimates of $167 million in income.
The 2010 WEG marked the first time the World Equestrian Games were held outside of Europe. The Games included eight disciplines: dressage, driving, endurance, eventing, jumping, para-dressage, reining and vaulting.

One of the most remarkable things we've seen in a long time is this deconstructed 2010 F1 car on display at Mercedes-Benz World in Surrey, UK. The Mercedes GP Petronas F1 comprises 3200 components and every one of them is hung in the display. The display itself was arranged by Dutch artist Paul Veroude and definitely fits into the "how can you do that?" category. Its subject is equally as fascinating, accounting for 90,000 man hours of design time, 200,000 man hours of manufacturing manifested as 600 kg finished form manufactured to the most exacting tolerances of the world's most exotic substances - carbon fiber, titanium, aluminum and magnesium. To look at, the car is predominantly carbon fiber (85% by volume) but it's so light that it accounts for only 30% of the mass.

Now that\'s gotta be hard to cleanGadgetGeek
The 600 kg mentioned is wrong. F1 rules require F1 cars to weigh a minimum of 640 kg and usually they teams use ballast to reach that minimum weight.
So since the 640 kg is car fluids driver the car itself is actually more like 540-550 kg.BZD
