Mike Vogel (PAN AM, CLOVERFIELD) has officially signed on to play the lead role in CBS' upcoming 13-episode adaptation of Stephen King's UNDER THE DOME, according to TVLine.
Vogel will play 'Barbie,' an Army vet who happens to be traveling through Chester's Mill on a confidential and mysterious assignment.
Click here to read the original report.
The series, based on the novel by King, tells the tale of "residents in the Community as they deal with the postapocalyptic conditions while searching for answers as to what the barrier is, where it came from and when -- and if -- it will go away." Joe soon learns that he has been separated from his parents who are on the other side of the dome.
Under the Dome will be produced by CBS Television Studios along with Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television. Neal Baer (A GIFTED MAN, LAW & ORDER: SVU), King, Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank, Stacey Snider and Brian K. Vaughan (Y: THE LAST MAN, LOST) will serve as executive producers. Niels Arden Oplev, the director of the original THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATOO, will helm the first episode.
UNDER THE DOME will premiere on Monday, June 24 at 10 p.m.
Vogel recently wrapped shooting on A&E's Psycho prequel series BATES MOTEL. He has also appeared in THE HELP, POSEIDON, and 2003's THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE.

Aubrey O'Day teases
Aubrey O'Day presents a special burlesque show at Mansion featuring music from DJ Ideal and EFX.
Friday is here again. YES! I'm already mapping out my assault on the weekend and this is one of the events worth checking out. Empire Events welcomes the infamous Aubrey O'Day to Mansion on Friday, May 21 for another episode of We Rock Hip Hop. The voluptuous blond will get frisky on stage for a special burlesque show for all to enjoy before dancing the night away to the best in hip-hop by resident DJ's Ideal and EFX.
O'Day's no stranger to baring it all - from her stint on the Las Vegas Peep Show (where she performed topless) to her spread in Playboy, she has no qualms about acting a little naughty. The former Danity Kane and MTV "Making the Band" member has been hard at work keeping herself busy with various projects. Her latest project; shaking that milkshake (literally). She partnered with Millions Of Milkshakes (the newest celeb hotspot) to create a signature shake that will benefit the Red Cross in efforts to help with the Haiti and Chile earthquake relief fund. In the promo video she was wearing nothing but a chef's apron (all I can say is, if you got it, flaunt it).
Admission is $20 at the door or $23 in advance at WantTickets.com. It's the end of the week and everyone's looking to have some fun. And an early warning - the line is going to be crazy, so early arrival is strongly suggested and always dress to impress.

Auckland Council has dropped a groundbreaking bid to recover more than $30,000 in graffiti clean-up costs from a notorious tagger after he filed for a form of bankruptcy.
But before he used his financial position to dodge the bill Benjamin Stewart claimed his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder was to blame.
In September 2009 Stewart pleaded guilty to 21 charges of causing intentional damage by spray-painting graffiti.
The charges related to more than 500 tags with the word "TURPS" and 14 tags of "MUKUS".
The tags were scrawled on buildings around Auckland between July 2008 and May 2010.
Stewart was sentenced to community work and ordered to pay $500 reparation. Costs of $2100 had been sought but the then Auckland City Council decided to pursue a claim for extra costs in July 2010.
When the claim was laid it was believed to be the first such case in New Zealand.
The council sought $33,394, the total cost Civil Contractors Limited spent cleaning up the 551 tags.
In July last year the case was adjourned when Stewart showed up to court without a lawyer.
Documents released under the Official Information Act show that Stewart entered into the No-Asset Procedure - a form of bankruptcy which lasts for 12 months - at the end of last year.
A spokesperson for the Auckland Council said that prevented the council, as a creditor, from pursuing the debt.
In the documents Stewart claims that he "may be suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), the symptoms of which can involve graffiti vandalism".
Stewart never backed up his claims with medical evidence.
He also claimed that some of the tags may not have been his and that council contractors had not used the cheapest method possible to remove them.
"The Auckland City Council website states that a home owner can... remove tags using methylated spirits, turps, paint stripper, dishwashing liquid, branded graffiti removal products or oven cleaner. If the Auckland City Council used any of these recommended methods I am sure the total removal costs incurred would have been significantly reduced."
The news of Stewart's bankruptcy comes after council recently launched a city wide graffiti prevention plan.
The Auckland Graffiti Vandalism Prevention Plan was launched by Mayor Len Brown in July and included 24-hour removal targets for graffiti and just two hours targets for tags deemed offensive, and an education programme.
The plan also focussed on graffiti prevention through its 'Adopt-a-spot' scheme where volunteers are encouraged to adopt an area in their neighbourhood to keep graffiti free.

IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ: IXYS), a manufacturer of power semiconductors and integrated circuits for energy efficiency, power management, and motor control applications, today announced a new IGBT product line, the 900V XPT™ IGBTs. The current ratings range from 20A to 310A. Designed especially for hard-switching applications, these new devices are able to achieve an optimal balance between the turn-off energy loss and on-state voltage. Able to support switching frequencies up to 50 kHz, they allow designers to use smaller and lighter components in their systems.
Manufactured using the proprietary IXYS XPT technology, and the state of the art 3rd generation (GenX3™) IGBT process, the devices exhibit such qualities as reduced thermal resistance, low tail current, low energy loss, and high-speed switching capability. In addition to being avalanche rated, they have square Reverse Bias Safe Operating Areas (RBSOA) up to the breakdown voltage of 900V – a necessary ruggedness in snubberless hard-switching applications.
The optional co-packed diodes in Sonic-FRD™ or HiPerFRED™ Technology are optimized to reduce turn-off losses and suppress ringing oscillations, thereby producing smooth switching waveforms and significantly lowering electromagnetic interference (EMI) in the system. Furthermore, due to the soft recovery characteristics of the diodes, the IGBTs can be switched on at very high rates of change in current (di/dt), even in low current and temperature conditions. Other advantages include low gate charge and a positive temperature coefficient of the on-state voltage, translating into lower gate drive requirements and multiple device paralleling capability.
Among other applications, these new IGBTs are well suited for high frequency power inverters, solar inverters, UPS, SMPS, motor drives, power factor correction circuits, battery chargers, AC switches, solid state relays, welding machines, lighting control, forklifts, E-bikes, EVs, and HEVs.
The new 900V XPT™ IGBTs are available in the following standard packages: TO-220, TO-247, PLUS247, TO-252, TO-263, TO-264, TO-268, and SOT-227. Some example part numbers include IXYA8N90C3D1, IXYH24N90C3, IXYN80N90C3H1 and IXYK140N90C3, with collector current ratings of 20A, 44A, 115A, and 310A, respectively.
Additional product information can be obtained by visiting the IXYS website at http://www.ixys.com or by contacting the company directly.

The monolithic integration of epitaxially-grown InGaAs/GaAs self-organized quantum dot lasers with hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a:Si-H) waveguides on silicon substrates is demonstrated. Hydrogenated amorphous silicon waveguides, formed by plasma-enhanced-chemical-vapor deposition (PECVD), exhibit a propagation loss of ~10 dB/cm at a wavelength of 1.05 µm. The laser-waveguide coupling, with coupling coefficient of 22%, is achieved through a 3.2 µm-width groove etched by focused-ion-beam (FIB) milling which creates high-quality etched GaAs facets.
© 2008 Optical Society of America
1. Introduction
The subject of silicon photonics, which has gathered considerable momentum recently, envisions the incorporation of optical interconnects on silicon-based complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) chips [1, 2, 3]. Optical interconnects involve light emitters, preferably lasers, waveguides and guided-wave devices, and detectors. In spite of materials-related issues, some progress has been made in all fronts. An important component of silicon photonics is the light guide and associated guided-wave devices such as modulators. With the development of microfabrication and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technologies, reasonably low loss (≤0.5 dB/cm) silicon waveguides operating in the wavelength range of 1.3–1.55 µm have been developed [3, 4, 5]. Similarly, silicon-based modulators, based on the electric-field induced delocalization of the electron wavefunctions in shallow well [6], quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE) [7], and free-carrier plasma dispersion effect (FCPDE) [8] with various geometries such as a Mach-Zehnder interferometer [9] and microring resonator [10], have also been developed.
While the above developments have been achieved with crystalline silicon and SOI technology, hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a:Si-H) may offer benefits in terms of lower cost, low temperature processing, as well as other unique characteristics in photonics applications [11]. These include refractive index and bandgap tunability dependent on H composition, and a desirable thermo-optic effect specifically for low-power and low-frequency switching. In contrast to crystalline silicon, amorphous silicon does not have a clearly defined band structure and an abrupt band edge. In addition, the dangling bonds in a:Si-H can be saturated by H. As a result, a:Si-H exhibits an acceptable absorption loss in the wavelength range of 0.95~1.15 µm (whilst crystalline silicon has much higher loss in this range), and certainly a lower absorption loss at longer wavelengths [11]. Moreover, a silicon waveguide/modulator technology realized by plasma-enhanced-chemical-vapor deposition (PECVD), or similar techniques, will introduce flexibility in design and fabrication that is important for the development of silicon photonics. With this in mind, we have investigated the integration of light sources with a:Si-H waveguides, both formed on silicon substrates. We demonstrate here the on-chip integration of InGaAs/GaAs self-organized quantum dot (QD) lasers grown directly on silicon with a:Si-H waveguides formed by PECVD. The waveguides exhibit a propagation loss of ~10 dB/cm for λ=1.05 µm. The laser-waveguide coupling is achieved through a groove etched by focused-ion-beam (FIB) milling. A coupling coefficient of 22% is measured.
2. Device growth, fabrication, and characteristics
The groove-coupled edge-emitting QD laser/a:Si-H waveguide is schematically shown in Fig. 1. A 2-µm-thick GaAs buffer layer was first grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy on (001)-oriented silicon substrates with 4° mis-orientation towards <111>. The GaAs-AlGaAs-In0.5Ga0.5As QD separate confinement laser heterostructure was then grown by molecular beam epitaxy with incorporation of ten layers of InAs QDs as a dislocation filter in the GaAs buffer layer [12]. The In0.5Ga0.5As QDs, GaAs and Al0.7Ga0.3As layers were grown at 500 °C, 600 °C, and 620 °C, respectively. The wafer is patterned and then dry etched, using Cl2/Ar inductively coupled plasma (ICP), to delineate the regions where the waveguide is to be deposited. The SiOx/a:Si-H/SiOx multimode waveguide is deposited by PECVD at 380 °C. Before the deposition of the SiOx upper cladding layer, the transverse dimension of the a:Si-H waveguide is defined by ICP dry etching. It is important that the depth of the etched trench and the thickness of the waveguide core/cladding are carefully adjusted such that the laser active region and waveguide core are closely aligned. The groove-coupled laser/waveguide is fabricated by using standard photolithography, wet and dry etching, and contact metallization techniques. The wafer substrates are lapped down to ~80 µm for optimized cleaving and the integrated laser-waveguide segments are cleaved along the <110> direction. An antireflection (AR) coating consisting of λ/4-thick Al2O3 is deposited on the a:Si-H waveguide output facet by e-beam evaporation. The coating has the refractive index of 1.58, which is measured using ellipsometry and yields a calculated transmission of 97%.
Fig. 1.
Fig. 2.
A critical issue in the monolithic integration of an edge-emitting laser and planar waveguide is optimization of the optical coupling between the two devices, which is dependent on the etched facet quality and groove dimension in a groove-coupled scheme [13]. Dry etching techniques such as reactive ion etching (RIE) and ICP usually generate microscopic surface roughness and non-vertical sidewalls. In comparison, FIB has the advantage of maskless etching which can produce smoother surfaces and vertical sidewalls. We therefore used FIB to etch GaAs facets with a reflectivity of R~0.28 [13], which is comparable to that of a cleaved GaAs facet. The cross-sectional scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of an edge-emitting InGaAs/GaAs QD laser with an etched GaAs facet is shown in Fig. 2. In addition to high-quality etched facets, the dimension of the etched groove is critical for optimum coupling. We have calculated this coupling using a generalized transmission matrix model [13]. The model, which is not limited to a Gaussian beam, more accurately describes the coupling behavior of an edge- emitting laser groove-coupled with another guided-wave section. In our experiment, the length of the laser and a:Si-H waveguide segment are 400 and 250 µm, respectively, separated by a FIB-etched groove with a width of 3.20 µm. SEM images of the groove-coupled laser/waveguide are shown in Fig. 3.
Fig. 3.
The InGaAs/GaAs QD lasers on silicon emit at a wavelength of 1.02 µm [inset of Fig. 4(a)]. To determine the propagation loss of the PECVD a:Si-H waveguides at this wavelength range, light from a 1.05 µm Nd:glass laser was coupled into and out of the waveguide segments using single mode fibers. The output power was measured for waveguide segments of varying length, with λ/4-thick Al2O3 AR coating deposited on the facets. From these measurements, the waveguide propagation loss is estimated to be 10 dB/cm. The light-current (L-I) characteristics from the QD laser and coupled a:Si-H waveguide ends have been measured under pulsed bias (500 µs pulses with 1% duty cycle) and the results are shown in Fig. 4(a) and 4(b), respectively. With the measured waveguide loss and L-I characteristics, we have estimated the laser-waveguide coupling using the generalized matrix transmission model through the relation [13]
Here, P1 and P2 are the output power from the laser and waveguide ends, respectively. t1(t21~0.69) is the transmittance of the cleaved GaAs facet and t3 (t23~0.97) is the transmittance of the waveguide output facet with AR coating. t2=exp[(ik-α/2)Lw], where α~10 dB/cm is the a:Si-H waveguide loss and Lw is the waveguide length. The coupling coefficient |S12|2 measured for the groove width of 3.20 µm is 22% at an injection current of J=1.5Jth, which is in good agreement with calculated values.
Laser-waveguide integration is an important aspect of integrated photonics and has been extensively investigated. The main point of this study is to demonstrate laser-waveguide integration on silicon, for potential application in optical interconnects, with a lower cost/CMOS-compatible a:Si-H waveguide technology. In addition, it should be noted that the loss of a:Si-H at longer wavelengths is smaller [11, 14], which will generate interest in the integration of these waveguides with 1.3-1.55 µm QD lasers. Such lasers have been demonstrated on GaAs substrates [15], and we are currently in the process of realizing them on silicon.

3. Conclusion
We demonstrate the monolithic integration of an epitaxially-grown quantum dot laser with a PECVD-formed a:Si-H waveguide on silicon substrates for the first time. The two devices are coupled by a FIB-etched groove and the coupling coefficient is estimated to be 22%. Waveguide loss could be decreased by optimizing PECVD processing and waveguide fabrication. This technology can be extended to integrate the laser with other passive or quasi-active a:Si-H guided-wave devices on silicon.
The work is being supported by the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (EPIC program) under grant W911NF-04-1-0429. Part of the fabrication was done in Michigan Nanofabrication Facility and EMAL at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

Scott Sage of DFJ Esprit speaks to Karin Wasteson about the return of traditional investors to venture capital and exciting new technology trends in Europe.
According to Sage, a partner at venture capital firm DFJ Esprit, some of the more traditional types of investors, including pension funds, investment banks and fund-of-funds, are returning to the venture capital market: "Similarly, we're seeing other kinds of alternative forms of capital coming in; corporates and family offices are dabbing their toes in the European venture industry, which is good for the ecosystem."
Sage doesn't believe there has been a seed or series-A crunch in Europe yet, but rather there is a lack of capital in large follow-on series-B and series-C funding rounds of $20m and higher.
Sage names consumer internet and gaming companies, as well as software-as-a-system (SaaS) and enterprise products, as Europe's strong sectors. "What's exciting to us right now is the whole movement into SaaS and enterprise deals. So far this year, nearly half of of the 20 investments we've made have gone into SaaS products – directly relating to new markets and mobile – and I would hope that the next billion-dollar company to come out of Europe will be from the SaaS space."
Commenting on emerging tech trends, Sage says mobile payments and mobile security as well as their impact on e-commerce are crucial. He also sees possibilities for solving problems around collaboration software for distributed workforces.
Sage also discuss online education technology and its development within Europe. "In Europe we haven't really yet had the breakthrough companies in this space that we've had in the US. It's something that we would love to find."

TomTom fit for Nike+ SportWatch GPS
Adding to the line-up of Nike+ options comes the new SportWatch GPS. Using the same shoe sensor as previous Nike+ systems, the new offering gives you a GPS watch to keep track of where you've been or where you've gone.
It offers you the usual range of sports watch features, as well as letting you export your data to Nikeplus.com to share with the running community or social networks via Facebook or Twitter.
The Nike+ SportWatch is surprisingly slimline, weighing only 66g, especially compared to some of the chunkier rivals from the likes of Garmin, Suunto or Polar, although this is probably because there is no heart rate monitor included.
We had a quick scoot though the menus and it all seemed simple enough to use, with the display offering enough contrast to make it easy to read. The menus are basically divided into four categories - clock, run, history and records.
Cleverly, Nike have incorporated the USB connection in the end of the strap, so you just have to bend back the tip and stuff it into your PC to release the data and charge the battery. We found the watch to be comfortable, but viewing it indoors it wasn't really possible to gauge performance.
Interestingly TomTom have got their name on to the device for their "GPS expertise", even though the watch itself doesn't offer any form of mapping in the device itself.
The Nike+ SportWatch GPS will be available in the UK and the US from 1 April, prices are yet to be confirmed.

Just over the horizon a fleet of gigantic factory trawlers are plundering Taranaki's fish stocks, a New Plymouth fisherman claims.
Chris Davidson has fished the waters off the Taranaki coast for more than a decade and tonight will star in the documentary The Price of Fish, allegedly exposing the dodgy practices of chartered fishing trawlers in New Zealand waters.
Two of the country's largest fishing companies, Sealord and Independent Fisheries, have already questioned the documentary's veracity but Mr Davidson stands by his claims.
He said he first encountered the foreign trawlers about 10 years ago outside the 12 mile limit.
"I was fishing for bluenose off the shelf and suddenly I was surrounded by eight 300 foot factory trawlers taking everything. I steamed three hours back in to get phone reception to call up MAF to say we had poachers. They said 'Oh no, they are allowed to be here' and that was it," Mr Davidson said.
Officially targeting mackerel, he said the boats were taking everything in their path including the bluenose for which he used to hold 80 per cent of the quota.
Mr Davidson alleges everything the boats caught outside of their own quota they processed into fishmeal. Though government observers are now on most boats he said this was a recent development and before that rules were regularly broken.
"The greens sector thinks they have made this huge victory by knocking a few inshore fishermen out further for the maui's dolphin but it's like saving an ant and thinking you have saved a colony. These guys catch more in one run than those inshore guys catch in a year," he said.
Independent Fisheries fleet manager Steve Bishop said they operated two Ukrainian chartered factory trawlers and neither were currently working off the Taranaki coast.
He said they usually came to the North Island's west coast from mid-November to mid-January to target jack mackerel.
"Just about every trip we have government observers on. They keep a close eye on what we catch and what we do with it," he said.
Sealord's deep water harvest manager Colin Williams said they operated three Ukrainian factory trawlers which were bound by law to operate at least 22 miles off the coast. He said they did not charter any Korean trawlers and the documentary maker Guye Henderson had not approached Sealord for comment.
"I expect it will be a horrendously biased documentary by a horrendously biased documentary maker.
"We are more than comfortable in our own skin and comfortable with how we operate within the framework," Mr Williams said.
Henderson, whose first fishing documentary The Great New Zealand Fishing Scandal aired on Sky's documentary channel in 2009, said 27 foreign chartered fishing vessels worked in New Zealand waters.
He said a new study would soon be released showing that the illegal dumping and fish-mealing of fish in New Zealand by foreign chartered vessels cost the country an estimated $300 million a year.
Henderson said he had requested an interview with Sealords.

'Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D,' sort of
ABC series is a TV take on the 'Avenger' and 'Iron Man' films
September 4, 2013
With so-called spoilers, it is often the case that those who would care about the spoiler already know it, while those who don't know don't care.
Viewers who care little about the Marvel Comics "universe" but who have seen the company's recent movies will be the only ones surprised to see that Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg), who apparently died in the 2012 hit "The Avengers," has come back to lead the title team on ABC's new series "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Hard-core Marvel fans will have heard the news already.
The series, which premieres on Tuesday, Sept. 24, at 8 p.m., offers some things to please both casual viewers and fanboys, as well as some things that could disappoint both groups, especially if they expect sophistication with their comic-book-based action. People who are naïve or can force naïveté will probably enjoy the show best.
The biggest disappointment for everyone will be the absence of any of the major heroes from the movies, not to mention the big stars who play them. Besides Coulson, who was featured in both "The Avengers" and the two "Iron Man" movies, all we have is Agent Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders), who is still looking admirably slender in the same form-fitting uniform she wore in "The Avengers."
Viewers might also object to the paucity of real superhero action. The sole character with powers is Michael Peterson (J. August Richards), an unemployed factory worker who attracts the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. when he exhibits his super strength while rescuing a woman from a burning building.
Coulson sends four agents to investigate: Providing muscle are Grant Ward (Brett Dalton) and Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen); providing scientific expertise are Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge).
The group reluctantly accepts the help of a computer hacker named Skye (Chloe Bennet), who has been trying to alert the world to the existence of S.H.I.E.L.D. ever since the Battle of New York, the superheroes-vs.-aliens clash that provided the climax to the "Avengers" movie. Coulson explains that the agency's director, Nick Fury, had him fake his death in order to motivate the Avengers for that battle.
Most of the action, however, is of the super-spy variety. Ward is sent on a mission to Paris that balls together spycraft, hand-to-hand combat, a mysterious babe and a spectacular escape. Fitz and Simmons keep pulling out cool gadgets and pulling off feats of scientific deduction.
The plot winds up with a conventional "take the shot!" scene in which a good guy has to decide whether to obey orders or his conscience.
But the script, written by the critics' darling Joss Whedon and two of his fellow executive producers, Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen, mocks the clichés of the various genres from which the show borrows. After Coulson dramatically steps out from the shadows in his first entrance and utters a suitable zinger, he adds, "Sorry! That corner was really dark, and I couldn't help myself. I think there's a bulb out."
When Hill asks Ward what the agency's name — Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division — means to him, he replies, "It means someone really wanted our initials to spell out S.H.I.E.L.D."
Average moviegoers who didn't know that Coulson was being groomed to lead his own series must have wondered why he received so many long takes in the "Iron Man" films and was given such a prominent death in "The Avengers." While both the character and the actor are likable and funny, few people left the theater saying they wanted to see more of either.
Even Marvel devotees might be surprised at how dominant Coulson is on this show. The other characters, with the slight exception of Skye, are ill-defined and remain sketchy at the end of the episode.
"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." might be best for viewers who are old enough to get the jokes but young enough to appreciate the simple action on its own terms. A deliberately corny closing shot tries to spin the show that way.
Parents will appreciate that the sexual content is limited to a few glimpses of cleavage.
Boomers might be reminded of the 1964-1968 series "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.," a sort of James Bond Lite that pacified kids who were too young to see "Goldfinger" while keeping their elder brothers and sisters moderately entertained.
Despite a lack of Thor and Hulk and an excess of Coulson, "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." could work in the same way, as a lower-quality, lower-budget substitute for the feature films. It was unrealistic to expect this show to be as marvelous.

Canadian man drowns while swimming off Cuban beach

VARADERO, CUBA—A Canadian has died while on vacation in Cuba.
The Department of Foreign Affairs confirms the death of a Canadian citizen but there is no information yet on the man or his hometown.
Kirk Nesbitt, the vice-president of engineering for Rogers Communications, witnessed the man drowning at a beach in Varadero in northwest Cuba.
He says a man was in the water waving his arms and yelling but three lifeguards who ran in were unable to mount a successful rescue.
A man believed to be from Cuba also drowned trying to rescue the Canadian.
Foreign Affairs says Canadian consular officials in Varadero are in touch with local authorities and are prepared to provide consular assistance to the family.

Nomentum IV: Blanche Lincoln Political Ad Proclaims "I Don't Answer to My Party, I Answer to Arkansas"
Some small-beans nomentum this time -- the Democrats can afford to lose a full nine votes in the Senate. They'll lose... well, like six or seven. At the end of the day, though, they will almost certainly have enough hardcore liberals to push this monstrosity through.
However -- that being said -- it does demonstrate which side is having the better of it in the public square. One doesn't advertise one's unpopular votes.
And it demonstrates she's running against her party and her president.
She brags in this video of voting against the supposedly-popular public option.
And, of course, it demonstrates that Obama's big sales closer-line -- unlike in 1994, you've got me, baby -- isn't going to move a lot of units.
Not only is he 0 for 3 in recent high-profile big-time elections, but he's toxic in any state or district where anyone's wavering.
And on that -- remember, 2010 is especially important, because it's the election in a census/redistricting year. The party who gets to draw the maps builds itself a strong advantage for a full decade.
Will the Tea Party Uprising cost the Democrats control of state houses, too?
Most likely a few:
Control of the state legislature matters whether a state loses or gains seats. Take fast-growing Texas, which is expected to pick up as many as four seats next year. Democrats had a 17-13 edge in the state's congressional delegation after the 2000 elections. Republicans won control of the Texas House in 2002 and redrew the state's congressional map. As a result, the GOP now controls 20 congressional seats in Texas while Democrats control 12. Similarly in Georgia, following the 2000 census Democrats redrew district lines to give themselves control of the state's two new congressional seats.
They've got a "REDMAP" reapportionment strategy going, and, if you're inclined, they'll even let you give them some of your money.

Visual Sciences will pay $9 million to NetRatings, which previously settled with five other firms over its patents covering collection and analysis of computer usage data.
NetRatings Inc., which collects data on Internet activity, has settled another of the lawsuits it filed in 2005 over alleged infringements of patents it holds covering the collection, analysis and reporting of computer usage data. Visual Sciences Inc., formerly known as WebSideStory, has agreed to pay NetRatings $9 million to settle the matter.
NetRatings previously had settled lawsuits against Coremetrics, Omniture, SageMetrics and the Sane Solutions subsidiary of Unica Corp. NetRatings also had announced a settlement with the original Visual Sciences, which was subsequently acquired by WebSideStory; the merged company took the name Visual Sciences in May.
NetRatings, part of The Nielsen Company, and WebSideStory had sued each other in February 2006. As part of the settlement, the two companies exchanged non-exclusive worldwide licenses to certain patents. In addition, Visual Sciences will pay NetRatings $2 million immediately, and pay $7 million in $500,000 quarterly installments starting March 31, 2008.
"We are pleased that we have put the litigation with NetRatings behind us so we can focus our energy and attention on delivering valuable real-time analytics solutions to our clients," Visual Sciences CEO Jim MacIntyre says. "We believe the settlement provides benefits to all areas of our company: our clients can continue to make strategic commitments to our web analytics solutions confident that their interests have been protected; our shareholders can move forward with their investment in the company without the uncertainty engendered by the litigation; and our management team can concentrate on executing the company's plan without the distractions caused by the litigation."

Mick "Crocodile" Dundee returns for a second time to America, this time heading to the city of fame and fortune in Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles. Paramount has done a fine job on this 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. The colors and black levels in this picture all look very even and well-rendered. While there is a slight amount of edge enhancement present during a few key scenes, overall this is a very clean and well-done transfer. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and sounds excellent, if a bit underwhelming. Rear and front speakers were utilized mostly during the beginning Australia sequences, as well as when the music score kicks in during the film. Also included on this disc is a Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack in English, as well as English subtitles. Much like the first two films, Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles sports very few extra features. Included on this disc is an anamorphic theatrical trailer as well as a brief featurette on the making of the film which includes interviews with the cast and crew. Fans of this series will most likely want to take a bite out of this disc, though they will be shedding crocodile tears due to the lack of extra materials.

McDonald's Monopoly season is back, twenty-five years after it first began. Though generally thought of as a mildly exciting cultural phenomenon (who but Mike Bloomberg could argue with free fast food?), the annual contest has had its fair share of controversy. The first one, in 1987, had $40 million worth of prizes, and McDonald's increased that number year by year as more people played, and added "instant" wins redeemable for in-store prizes and board pieces. In 2001, it was discovered that individuals at Simon Marketing, the agency that handled the game, had redeemed winning pieces for themselves, resulting in more than $20 million in embezzled cash. McDonald's, no stranger to nonsensical litigation, wound up actually paying $16.6 million to Simon, and the contest was put on hold, returning in 2003. This year, some of the more enticing prizes include a vacation courtesy of Delta, an NHL All-Star weekend trip, and, of course, those two $1 million cash-outs. There's a full list on McDonald's site.

`Indo-Pak Express` bags first title after re-union
Last Updated: Saturday, March 1, 2014 - 23:22
Dubai: Rohan Bopanna and his Pakistani partner Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi today won their first ATP title after re-union as they beat Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic in the doubles final of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships here.
The second seeded `Indo-Pak Express` duo beat their top seeded opponents Nestor of Canada and Zimonjic (Serbia) 6-4 6-3 in the summit clash that lasted one hour and eight minutes.
Today`s win was a sort of a revenge for Bopanna and Qureshi who lost to the same opponents in the final of the Sydney International in January.
This was the five title overall for Bopanna and Qureshi together and first after they re-united at the beginning of the season. They played with different partners for two seasons.
