After months of assuring the public that everything was right on track, the Obama administration turned 180 degrees this month and announced that it was suspending implementation of the "employer mandate" provision of the Affordable Care Act for a year. They should not stop there. The troublesome "individual mandate" should be suspended as well and the whole rushed plan should be replaced with reforms that can give Californians better healthcare at a more affordable price.
First, the business mandate. Under the ACA, businesses with 50 or more full-time equivalent employees have to offer "affordable" health insurance to their employees or face a $2,000 fine for each employee (excluding the first 30).
Employers have been screaming for months about the complex, confusing and costly implementation of the ill-conceived law. With the little information they did have, they ran the numbers and started cutting hours or laying off employees to avoid triggering ACA penalties. Early results pointed to a disaster for business and for low-income California workers.
I applaud the President for delaying the employer mandate and hope he delays it again — forever — then moves on to the individual mandate.
Under the individual mandate, people will face a minimum penalty of $695 by 2016 if they do not purchase one of the costly plans required by the President's reforms.
And for Californians, it will be costly. Healthcare analyst Avik Roy writes in Forbes magazine that health insurance premiums in California will increase between 64 and 146 percent under the ACA even though cost control was a central promise of the plan. Worse, the administration announced last week that it will not verify incomes for the massive subsidies provided to help offset these costs, laying the groundwork for a vast, expensive entitlement program with no accountability.
Like businesses, individual Californians deserve at least a one-year break from the overpriced and coercive plan, but if we could get out from under it forever we could make changes right here in our state that would get more people better and cheaper care without signing over 15-percent of our economy to the government.
We could start by eliminating any "standard benefit package" requirements and letting people buy customized plans that cover exactly what they need and nothing more, giving them the ability to purchase inexpensive plans from other states and demanding transparency in hospital pricing.
These pro-consumer moves would lead to far greater competition and ultimately to lower costs and better service for everyone.
We should also free up everyone involved in healthcare delivery and payment — insurers, individuals, medical device makers, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies — from unnecessary regulations, so they can innovate and deliver new, improved services at a better value for consumers. It is greater productivity — not price controls — that will ultimately rein in healthcare costs.
If it's a good idea to suspend the business mandate for a year, it's a good idea to suspend the individual mandate for a year. People are just as confused and just as shell-shocked about the astronomical price increases as businesses are. In fact, it's a good idea to suspend it indefinitely until California gets the leadership in place that will try the many other reforms that can achieve the ACA goals of more and better care for less money.

Doctor Who will be getting more celebratory treatment with a BBC TV film about the beginnings of the long-lasting British sci-fi show, starring Harry Potter actor David Bradley.
Bradley, best known for his role as cantankerous Hogwarts caretaker Argus Filch, will play First Doctor's actor William Hartnell in An Adventure in Space and Time, part of the BBC's 50th anniversary celebration of Doctor Who, The Guardian reports.
Brian Cox will play Sydney Newman, BBC's then Head of Drama, and Jessica Raine has been cast as Doctor Who producer Verity Lambert. Both people's names were used for a love interest of the 10th Doctor, played by David Tennant in a two-part revival series in the 2005.
The 90-minute drama is being written by Mark Gatiss, who has written several episodes of the series. It is being produced by current Who showrunner Steven Moffat, who took over from Russell T. Davies in 2010, and exec producer Caroline Skinner.
"It's a lovely story about very fascinating characters," Skinner said. "There are lots of witty and entertaining stories about the genesis of Doctor Who which say quite a lot about what the early '60s in Britain was like. But it's also a very personal story about William Hartnell and Verity Lambert and their relationship being forged in the making of what turned out to be a sensational hit show that we're still watching today."
BBC America, co-producing with BBC Cymru Wales, will air the film in the U.S later this year, according to Entertainment Weekly.
The network also will air on March 30 the second part of the sci-fi's seventh series, starring Matt Smith as the TARDIS-traveling Time Lord's 11th incarnation.
It could be interesting to see Bradley also make a crossover appearance into Doctor Who's actual 50th Anniversary Special this year being written by Moffat, as Hartnell himself passed away in 1975.
William Hartnell's first episode as the Doctor, "An Unearthly Child."

At 17 years old, this girl has already gained an incredible amount of success and talent with her brilliant covers on YouTube of artists like Ed Sheeran, Phoenix, and most notiably, Bon Iver's "Skinny Love" cover.
With a hauntingly beautiful voice, I am so happy to hear that Birdy is releasing a new album come Septemeber called Fire Within. In the meantime Birdy's newest original is a song called "Wings". Powerfully moving and lyrically smooth, I have listen to this song already four times today upon re-discovery.

The sport of mountain biking has many disciplines, but most recently, trail bike racing, aka Enduro, has become all the craze. I am in New Zealand at the moment for Crankworx racing several events, and while out training I have also been learning all about race tactics and set up tips from the world's best Enduro racers here at round 1 of the Enduro World Series.
The Ridge is the brand new film from Danny Macaskill... For the first time in one of his films Danny climbs aboard a mountain bike and returns to his native home of the Isle of Skye in Scotland to take on a death-defying ride along the notorious Cuillin Ridgeline.
Some tips to help with bike set up...
Vogel Mountain Bike Park was the fifth and last location of Projekt 5. On the trail which is 1,2 kilometers long I was riding with Gašper Kos. Even it is short trail it has everything and it's perfect for the training. From the trail you can see Triglav, the Slovenian highest mountain, and the view in general from Vogel Mountain Bike Park on the Alps and lake Bohinj is spectacular!

I had the pleasure of traveling to Hawaii for teaching BMX and skateboarding to kids living on US military bases on the island of Oahu. There are two skate parks on the Hickam/Pearl Harbor base and both have a plethora of different ramps, wedges and rails. About 40 kids ages 6-16, participated in a 3-hour class for 5-days learning the building blocks of BMX & Skateboarding. I was the BMX coach and Ryan Seifried was the skateboard coach.

Yet another podium at the IXS European cup in Pila, Italy and 5th place for me. I was aiming a bit higher after finishing 4th in seeding, but I made a huge mistake which had cost me valuable time but overall I'm happy with the result and can't wait for the upcoming races.

Green Gables, if you are to provide a post like this you need to show the side effects of messing with DHT. The supplements you mention are usually harmless for women, but can cause some serious problems for men. Like anything, you have to weigh the risks and benefits of a treatment, and your initial post makes it seem like there are no potential dangers to the "self-correcting" of perceived hormonal imbalances. There are (85% pertain to men only though), and it would be great if you'd address them so the readers can make an informed decision. Or, I could post them if you'd like later on in the week.
Agreed. As a male, I would love to get the scoop on possible side effects of all the natural supplements mentioned. Thanks.

Meet the Team
The Developmental NeuroPediatric Program at MassGeneral Hospital for Children was created to efficiently and rapidly evaluate children between 18 months and 6 years of age suspected of having developmental delays.
Our team comprises a child neurologist, a neuropsychologist, a child psychiatrist, speech/language services, and physical and occupational therapy. We assess children with complicated neuropsychiatric profiles and are particularly interested in global developmental delay.
The Developmental NeuroPediatric team has several goals:
- To shorten the length of evaluation for very young patients with global developmental delays
- To provide a unified consultation process that integrates the overlapping areas of neurology, psychiatry and neuropsychology
- To produce consultation recommendations and treatment plans that are accessible and include all services necessary for the care of young developmentally delayed children
- To foster the interdisciplinary academic and research work in neuro-developmental pediatrics
The NeuroPediatric team aims to ensure that each young child receives the necessary services as quickly as possible during their very critical windows of development. It also ensures that pediatricians receive support and information necessary to make their practices safer, reliable and more comfortable in caring for these complicated patients.

Comments about Eminence Red Fang 12" 50W Guitar Speaker:
I upgraded my Fender Super Sonic 22 with The Red Fang. I thought the amp sounded great before but with the Red Fang it's even better! First of all this speaker is much louder than the stock Lightning Bolt speaker. The sound is much more crisp and clear. I have some top of the line amps and have owned many different ones over the past 35 years but, the Fender Super Sonic 22 with the addition of the Red Fang, is the best amp I've ever heard, played or owned. By the way, the amp is loaded with Tungsol 6V6's and 12AX7's. Great Speaker!
Comments about Eminence Red Fang 12" 50W Guitar Speaker:
I know a lot of people have praise for the celestion alnico blue... however.. having had that speaker in my AC15... I wanted to try this one. WOW this one isnt exactly the blue ..but its freaking close and it isnt as trebly so i like it better being a tele player. it made my amp really open up...but it takes a while to break in. So play the heck outta it ...dont run a stereo through your amp.. be a man and put the hours on it yourself.. thats almost as bad as buying a relic'ed guitar. or washing your blackbelt so it looks like you are more experienced than you are. yeah put the miles on it and take care of it. and this speaker will take care or you.
Comments about Eminence Red Fang 12" 50W Guitar Speaker:
I bought this speaker to go in my Valve Jr cab and it really brings that vintage tone out. The highs and lows are crystal clear. I will never stray away from Alnico magnets again. The power handling is perfect for a Class A amp. The only reason for the 4.5 in value is it's a bit pricey.
Comments about Eminence Red Fang 12" 50W Guitar Speaker:
I have been using the Red Fang in a 50 watt Peavey Valve King for over a year now. I took a long time to break it in but is well worth the effort. The tone is clear and clean but will overdrive in such a bueatiful way. I use this for jazz, roots blues and classic rock. distinguish the notes
Comments about Eminence Red Fang 12" 50W Guitar Speaker:
This is half the price of the celestion Blue and to me sounds better. This speaker handles the low end better then the Blues I have had. To me the bottom end on the CB's can turn to mush fast. This speaker is a better way to go and a lot cheaper.IMHO
Comments about Eminence Red Fang 12" 50W Guitar Speaker:
I replaced the speaker in my Valve King 1x12. This is a great speaker. The clarity is remarkable. I am playing vintage rock, 70s rock and jazz through this setup and am finding it excels in all of them. One caveat. This speaker is rated 30 watts rms so be careful if you put it in an amp with more power than that.
Comments about Eminence Red Fang 12" 50W Guitar Speaker:
If these speakers were lost / stolen / damaged - I would definately replace them. They faithfully recreate the Alnico british tone with lots of rich harmonics and a bell like tone that sounds incredible. Smooth compression at higher volumes makes for a fantastically rich overdriven sound. I was borrowing a friends Crate 4x12 cab for a while and wasn't sure if I really liked the sound of the '66 Fender Bandmaster I had recently purchased. Little did I know the problem was the cab, not the amp. The combination of the Fender and the 2x12 Red Fangs sounds better than I could ever have imagined. The only comparison I can make is to my friend's AC30 with the Bluebacks; also a great sounding amp. If you buy these speakers you will not be disappointed.

SEOUL—Hyundai Motor Co.'s labor union voted to approve a revised wage and working-conditions deal Monday, putting an end to prolonged strikes that have hurt sales at South Korea's biggest car maker.
The agreement comes after many rounds of negotiations since early May as a new union leadership took a harder line in annual talks following three years without stoppages caused by labor action.
Hyundai workers have staged 28 strikes since July 13, cutting production by more than 82,000 vehicles valued at 1.705 trillion won ($1.5 billion).
SEOUL—Unionized workers at Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Motors Corp. voted for their first strike actions in years, though the threatened stoppages would be brief and wouldn't significantly reduce output at South Korea's biggest auto group.
The actions are scheduled for eight hours on Friday and on July 20 at Kia's plants in South Korea and for eight hours on Friday at Hyundai's plants. Talks with management will continue. The unions are seeking higher wages, bonuses and a change in work-shift systems.

People taking calcium supplements to mitigate their risk of developing bone disease (osteoporosis) may be doing more harm to their health than good. That's because a growing body of research shows the supplements confer little benefit and increase the risk of developing heart disease.
Calcium supplements have also traditionally been thought to reduce the risk of heart attacks because they produce small beneficial changes in both blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels. We set out to test this idea in a trial we had originally designed to check the effect of calcium supplements on fractures and bone density.
To our surprise, what we discovered was that heart attacks were actually more common in the (randomly selected) women who received calcium supplements than those who had randomly been given inactive tablets.

Once, to Paris in 1927. It was actually the idea of the French government, which invited the Legion as part of the 10th anniversary of the United States' entry into World War I. The French even had a commemorative medal struck for the occasion and presented it to attendees.
In September, the attendees gathered at Coney Island in New York for fun and games. Then the entire crowd — 20,000 Legionnaires and Auxiliary members calling themselves the "Second American Expeditionary Force," Legion leadership and even Gen. John J. Pershing — boarded the steamship Leviathan for the trip across the Atlantic Ocean. There, they held caucuses and meetings and voted for the new national commander.
While overseas, the attendees attended dinner parties thrown by the French government, and visited battlefields on which they had fought and cemeteries where some of their fellow soldiers lay. Footage of their travels to and within France was captured on a film reel, which has been preserved over the decades. View the footage here.
The following month, the national convention convened in New York. The first order of business was to ratify and adopt the actions taken in Paris, making them official.
Other than the 1927 National Convention, the only other times Legion gatherings have left the continental United States are the three national conventions that have been held in Honolulu: in 1973, 1981 and 2005.
I have one of the medallions mentioned. I've only been able to find evidence of three mentioned in public. I'd love to know how many of these there are hanging around out there.

I probably would have given this four forks, except I found the sauce to be just a little too acidic. The acid definitely cuts the richness of the scallops, but I thought the vinegar was too pronounced. I'll make it again, cutting the rice vinegar in half or perhaps eliminating it completely. Overall, I think it's a very impressive dish considering how quick and simple it is.flag if inappropriate
I made this with shrimp and my husband and I thought it was delicious. He already wants to know when I will be making this again! I used extra garlic and ginger and I thought the caloric content was spot on for a delicious dinner that includes cream.flag if inappropriate
I opted for a lower calorie / fat option for preparing 12 (not 24) sea scallops. I still doubled ginger and garlic as other reviewers recommended, used some canola oil and 1/2 Tb butter to sautee 12 scallops. Then did as recipe directed but only 1/2 TB butter and no cream. allowed this to thicken and added more wine (1/3 cup) to dilute. put this sauce into a bowl and added cilantro and scallions. Rave reviews from my husband. when I mentioned the original recipe called for cream he requested to try that... so I will.flag if inappropriate
Love looking thru old issues of BA, and found this in a "Too Busy to Cook" section of 6/81 issue. Talk about rich, but so tasty. Read all the reviews, and agree w most about doubling the sauce, as we served it over Basmati rice. The ginger taste was mildly pleasant, and we used basil (of all things) instead of unavailable cilantro. Also some shrimp w the 2 sea scallops we had in freezer. What a great recipe!flag if inappropriate
I have cooked this and served this many times over the years and it always good. Be sure to have everything prepped because it takes no time to cook.flag if inappropriate
Not sure if I did something wrong, but dish was not very good. Took suggestions and added extra garlic, shallots, and ginger, but still a little bland. Also used half & half and some broth instead of heavy cream to lighten the recipe, since others had mentioned it, but sauce never really thickened, and was more curtled than creamy. Definitely will not be making it again.flag if inappropriate
This was terrific but I made some changes as I thought the recipe had some problems. 1) We get good sized sea scallops and three per person (half a pound) works fine. A recipe like this should specify weight rather than quantity due to the varying size. 2) Despite making only enough scallops for two, I made the full amount of the sauce. The excess went on the rice. 3) I used peanut oil. Olive oil makes no sense in this recipe and fights with some of the ingredients. It seems like the de-Asianing of the recipe. 4) Same thing with the wine. There is no reason to use white wine - use Chinese dry rice wine instead. If you can't get that, use sherry, which tastes almost the same. With those changes, it came up tasting like one of the best dishes I've had in a Chinese restaurant.flag if inappropriate
I have made this several times and it is one of my all time favorites. Very easy to make. I cut polenta into 1 inch thick slices, broil them and serve the scallops and sauce over them.flag if inappropriate
I would have entered 0 forks if possible, this was flavorless and tasted greasy, fatty, nasty. I followed recipe exactly and couldn't even stand to eat it until I was full. Had to have something else for dinner.flag if inappropriate
Just made this dish for the first time, and love it! Didn't have any cilantro on hand, but didn't miss it at all. Used double the amount of garlic and green onion, and added a bit of cayenne pepper as another reviewer suggested. Gives it a great kick! Served over Basmati rice, but would double the sauce next time. Great dish!flag if inappropriate

EnviroTech :: Regulatory
European Commission refers GMO cultivation request to Council of Ministers
November 7, 2013 | Michael Ravenscroft
The European Commission has referred a request related to cultivation of a genetically-modified organism (GMO), originally submitted 12 years ago, to the council of ministers. The ministers will now take a position by qualified majority on the request. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA; Parma, Italy) has already submitted several positive opinions on this case. The genetically-modified maize 1507 (Bt maize) was developed to confer resistance to pests harmful to maize, such as the European corn borer. The maize is authorized in the European Union for food...

Work to ease commuter misery gathering pace
Posted: January 17, 2014|
ROUNDABOUTS are set to be installed at a critical point in a popular commuter route out of Ashbourne as part of on-going works to improve traffic flow.
Staffordshire County Council has revealed the work to improve the A50 to Alton corridor has moved on to its next step as work continus on the B5030 at the Station Road and High Street junction in Rocester, near JCB world headquarters.
As part of the surfacing work the road layout will be changing, so the council is asking people to drive with extra care and pay attention to signs giving information about the road layout.
The work will be taking place this week and three-way traffic signals will be operating for 24 hours a day until it is completed.
The signals will be manned during peak times to ensure the traffic flow is balanced, but people are being asked to plan extra time for their journey if using this stretch of road at any point this week.
By Saturday the new south roundabout at the Station Road junction will be up and running, subject to weather conditions.
Funding has come from the Government's Local Pinch Point Fund which aims to remove bottle-necks on the road network that can restrict economic growth. Simon Tagg, the authority's cabinet support member for transport, said the work to improve the major commuter route was well on target to be completed as planned.
He said: "Work is well on schedule on the A50 to Alton growth corridor improvement scheme with construction of the roundabouts under way.
"This will significantly improve traffic flow along the corridor and will play an important part in supporting business expansion in Staffordshire.
"The route is used by traffic accessing JCB's world headquarters and Alton Towers – both major employment sites and flagship Staffordshire businesses which are seeing continued success.
"There may be some additional delays next week while work is carried out and so we'd like to thank people in advance for their patience."
The B5030 links with the A50 to the south and the B5032 in the north, where further improvements are due to take place in 2014 up to Alton Towers.
People can follow progress on the works online at www.staffordshire.gov.uk/rocesterimprovements

Jeannie Jeannie from Shelby, NC on 07/03/2014 – Verified Buyer
This is a very sturdy bookshelf - even when my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter decided to "mountain climb" it. She is able to display her books to where she can see them - she even puts them back in their place when she/we are through reading the book. It is attractive and fits in my living room (which now looks like a daycare center). Even my husband, who rarely comments about anything, told me he thought it was a very nice bookshelf! I would definitely recommend this bookshelf to anyone. I rarely write a review, but wanted to write one on this bookshelf. To top it off, the bookshelf comes fully assembled - which, believe me, we really appreciate (or at least my husband does :).

This book display looks great in my son's bedroom!! I love that you are able to see each of the books and that he has easy access to his books! I was hesitant to order because the light wood color doesn't match the dark wood of his other bedroom furniture but once filled with books, you don't even notice! It will be a book display that can be used for many years! The construction is sturdy, the quality is great, and I loved that it arrived all in one piece. I didn't have to do anything except take it out of the box and place it in his room!

May 28, 2014 | Natasha Alperowicz
Foster Wheeler says it has been awarded a contract by Marubeni (Tokyo) for the engineering and material supply of a new steam reformer heater, including an air preheating system, for the KazMunayGaz oil refinery located at Atyrau, Kazakhstan. The steam reformer will form part of a hydrogen production unit with a capacity of 24,000 normal cubic meters/hour to be built at the refinery. The hydrogen plant is based on Foster Wheeler's technology. Foster Wheeler's scope of work is scheduled to be completed in April 2015. Marubeni awarded the...

Compensation costs in India
June 03, 2010
In 2005, India's average hourly compensation cost for all employees in manufacturing was $0.91 when measured in U.S dollars; this was approximately 3.1 percent of the level seen in the United States.
When measured in Indian rupees, total compensation of all employees in India's organized manufacturing sector increased by 36.0 percent from 1999 to 2005.
When measured in U.S. dollars the increase for all employees was slightly less (34.1 percent) over the same period because of the depreciation of the rupee relative to the dollar.
Over the period from 1999 to 2005, hourly compensation costs for all employees in Indian manufacturing fluctuated between 2.7 and 3.1 percent of the U.S. level. This fluctuation is due in part to changes in the rupee-to-dollar exchange rate.
Among the economies studied by BLS International Labor Comparisons program, the lowest hourly compensation costs for all employees in manufacturing in 2005 were found in India (3.1 percent of the U.S. level) and the Philippines (3.6 percent of the U.S. level).
To learn more, see "Labor costs in India's organized manufacturing sector," (PDF) in the Monthly Labor Review, May 2010 issue.

European Networks Pull 'Simpsons' Nuclear Jokes in Response to Japanese Crisis
According to The Hollywood Reporter, networks in Germany, Austria and Switzerland are screening episodes of the series and either pulling them altogether or replacing jokes that are "unsuitable" to air considering the situation in Japan.
'Simpsons' creator Al Jean told Entertainment Weekly that he understands if certain episodes are pulled. "We have 480 episodes, and if there are a few that they don't want to air for a while in light of the terrible thing going on, I completely understand that," he said. "We would never make light of what's happening in Japan."
Rudy Giuliani: Japanese People's Response to Disaster 'Really Remarkable' (VIDEO)
Giuliani told Morgan that he goes to Japan on business quite frequently, so he wasn't surprised by how "enormously disciplined" the Japanese people have been in the wake of the earthquake, the tsunami and now the nuclear crisis. But the former New York city mayor is still impressed.
"If God forbid this had to happen anywhere, this is a country that can handle it," Giuliani said of Japan. "They're getting pushed to the point of ... it's really remarkable that they are able to handle it as well as they do. When you see the long lines of people lining up for water. No riots, no disturbances, no looting in any of these cities. Boy, you got a heck of a population in Japan."
2004 Tsunami Survivor Petra Nemcova Recalls the 'Unconditional Love' Displayed During The Disaster (VIDEO)
Nemcova is still haunted by what happened seven years ago. But, as she told 'Piers Morgan Tonight' (Weeknights, 9PM ET on CNN), she was also able to take from the tragedy some positive observations about the goodness of human beings -- which she believes will apply to the the unfolding tragedy in Japan.
"One thing that I've seen, personally, amongst a disaster is there was so much unconditional love around people being ready to sacrifice their own lives for others, for strangers, and the whole world coming together and giving so much love," she told Morgan. "That's something amazing and very positive."
Yoko Ono: Japan Will Recover in a 'Big, Big Beautiful' Way (VIDEO)
"It's very similar, and we did recover in an incredible way," Ono said of the aftermath of the war. "And I'm sure that we will too this time. I think it's a kind of challenge -- it's a very big challenge, nobody wants this kind of big challenge. Well, with a big challenge, I'm sure that some big, big beautiful results will happen."
'The Pacific' - 'Melbourne' Recap
The more relaxed pace of the episode allowed us to get to know some of our principal cast members more intimately. Particularly Robert Leckie and John Basilone, who had very different experiences in Melbourne. Basilone was the decorated war hero, given the highest honor he could possibly achieve, while Leckie found something even sweeter: a woman.
Japan Still Has The Craziest Game Shows
PopCrunch has the ten most insane moments from Japanese TV, and most of them are from game shows. Here are two of my favorite choices (probably NSFW).
HBO Offering 'The Pacific' Premiere for Free Online Streaming
Reviews of the first installment of HBO's ten-part mini-series 'The Pacific' have been mixed -- I liked it, though -- and ratings figures aren't in yet. Nevertheless, the network has taken the bold step of putting that entire episode online for free viewing; you can catch it here. Is it a response to poor ratings -- even though we don't know those figures yet, the network likely does -- or just an attempt to lure people in who don't already have HBO?
The premiere was more style over substance, which is one of the major problems critics had with it, but it did offer some stunning visuals and established an atmosphere very different than 'Band of Brothers.' As a companion piece of sorts to the modern classic 'Brothers,' brought to us by the same production team including Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, expectations were pretty high for 'The Pacific' coming out of the gate.
There really is a Dollhouse in Japan
The organization is called Hagemashi Tai (translated to "I want to cheer you up"). I cannot help but wonder if Joss read an article somewhere about this phenomenon and loosely based his show on it.
On the other hand, isn't this a standard episode plot of every sitcom ever made, in which a character has to pretend to be another character? In America, I'm aware that you can hire actors as characters for parties but not to this level of organization. Truth truly is stranger than fiction.
Japanese children's TV is very different from ours
I see some Japanimation influence on the show (they have a cute sidekick robot of some sort), and quite possibly some hentai influence, as well. What does it say about a culture when even its children's television is degrading to women?
G4 is taking us to Mount Midoriyama for American Ninja Warrior
Now they're taking it a step further, creating an all American Ninja Warrior. Unfortunately, the plan is to send ten American competitors over there to compete on Sasuke, the official Ninja Warrior obstacle course. I'd have much rather them build an American version of the course here. That way, like in the Japanese version, they can have 100 competitors from all walks of American life.
Just imagine. We'd have actors plugging crap giving it a try, and reality show contestants trying to extend their fifteen minutes. And most of them will fail and land in the water. The fear I have is that if we only have ten contestants in Sasuke, what happens if they all blow the first of four stages? Show's over?
Marvel streaming bizarre 1970s Japanese Spider-Man
Taking an American superhero and blending him with the traditional motifs of Japanese children's TV produces a bizarre mix -- like tossing a hot dog and sushi in a blender set to frappe.
Rather than take on the Green Goblin or Electro, The Land of the Rising Sun's version of Peter Parker defends precocious Japanese kids from guys in rubber suits, ala Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
Human Tetris coming to Fox - VIDEOS
The version coming to American television next season is called Hole in the Wall. This game show is about people contorting their bodies to fit through an odd-shaped hole in a wall. The wall comes flying at them and they have to fit through the hole or be pushed into a pool of water. Simple, right? And it's going to be addictive as hell.
Oui, Wii! Iron Chef: America becomes a video game
World's most insane game shows feature nudists, car theft and nipple clamps
For the most part American game shows are pretty tame. Oh sure, we eat a live slug once in awhile, and we take a dip into a pool of rattlesnakes on occasion; however, overall, the craziest thing we do is have our halter tops fall off while running down the stage. And, that's by accident.
The rest of the world, on the other hand...well, they've pretty much thrown off the Puritan shackles that we still bear and, for lack of a better phrase, let it all hang out when it comes to their game shows. Sometimes literally. Some examples of this can be found at Cracked.com, which lists 6 examples of the most insane game shows in the world.
The amazing live Olympic highlight reel - VIDEO
Over in Japan, they have some wild game/reality shows. Some of them are just outrageously crazy (really, how many times can we see Japanese guys whacked in the groin or weird food being eaten?), but sometimes you see something so cool, so clever, that it just makes you shake your head.
This is such a video. It's from the show Kinchan and Katori Shingo's All Japan Costume Grand Prix (yes, that's the real title - take that Jerry Seinfeld's Super Colossal Happy Hour!), and it shows a group of people who put on a live Olympic highlight reel. I really can't describe it better than that, but trust me, it's quite amazing. This is the type of show we should import. Video after the jump!

I started as a painter and fell into working with flowers (for special events) as a way to support my art making. 20 years later, flowers and event design have become my ART.
What has been your favorite project and why?
It is simply impossible to name a single, favorite project as so many are important benchmarks for artistic development, but a project we did a couple of years back for the Robin Hood Foundation informs much of my thinking now. For their annual fundraising gala, we secured more than a million dollars' worth of donated materials (clothing, food, books, blankets, etc.) and created a grand installation from them that was as if a world's fair met the most fabulous science museum. However, we could not drill, nail, glue, and destroy any of the items as they all went on to be donated to the people that needed them most after the event. No waste at all. The décor had an afterlife that conceptually and beautifully underscored the reason that 4,000 guests came together that evening in the first place.
Tell us about your most challenging project.
A grand wedding in Istanbul might take the cake for difficult projects for me currently. What a stunning backdrop the Bosporus is and what a difficult time it was to pull this all off with a tiny group of our core staff from New York and a giant army of non-English speaking Turks.
What is your design process?
I always say, David Stark Design is a team sport. Our process is very collaborative. I am always looking for innovation, and whenever I hear, "We always do it this way," it is a call to arms for us to swing the pendulum of creation to the extreme opposite end.

Burnt hard drive data recoveryOctober 18th, 2011
This fire damaged hard drive was completely recovered
Recently a forensic investigation company contacted our labs regarding a burnt hard drive, the disk was damaged in the riots back in the summer.
As you can see from the photo, it is very badly damaged, further to the fire damage there was ingress from the substances used to put the fire out, all in all this was a very complex case to deal with.
The hard drive label as you can see was completely destroyed, this further complicated the issue as these details are very important when attempting to recover any possible data, the label contains such information as the manufacture, the model number, serial number and details pertaining to the head stack assembly, these details were barely visible.
Following very close examination the the disk, it was discovered that it was a Seagate hard drive.
The clean room engineers opened the drive to further examine the disk surface, which appeared to be in reasonable condition, considering the amount of heat this device must have been subjected to.
In our experience if the disk surface becomes tarnished and changes colour this will render this surface completely destroyed and totally unrecoverable.
After many hours of work and many resources a suiatble donor head stack assembly was located and installed in a new chassis along with a platter translpalnt.
Further tests showed that the disk also had firmware issues, not surprising really considering the damages the unit had suffered from.
After all the work had been undertaken a complete clone of the data was accomplished and the file system which was NTFS MHT$ data which was then rebuilt.
If you have suffered from a fire damaged hard drive and require data recovery services do not attempt data recovery, please get in touch with our labs for a solution.

Pre-MOT to MOT
Overview | Course Sequence | Admission Info
In process of earning the MOT degree, students will obtain a required concentration in Human Occupation Studies (HOCS) in preparation for graduate coursework in occupational therapy. Prior to admission into the MOT degree program, prerequisite courses must be completed or in process; prerequisite courses include Anatomy & Physiology I & II, Rhetoric, Statistics I & II, Physics, Developmental Psychology, Bioethics, Kinesiology, Neuroscience and all HOCS courses. Transfer students who have a bachelor's degree in a related field generally have 6 semesters of academic coursework plus a post-academic fieldwork internship to complete to meet Xavier University's requirements for the MOT degree. Xavier accepts transfer credit work from other regionally accredited institutions of higher education for prerequisite coursework.
OT as a Second Career
The opportunity to obtain a MOT degree in combination with a previously earned bachelor's degree in a related area is designed for those seeking a career change. It is not uncommon for individuals to pursue one course of study, later to determine another course of study or career option that may be more fulfilling. A high degree of job satisfaction is commonly reported in the field of occupational therapy.
Full or Part-time Study?
While students may pursue studies part time when completing the prerequisite courses and 300 level HOCS courses, it is recommended full time study begin with the 400 level HOCS courses and mandatory that it begin with the 500 level MOCT courses. Consequently, students must commit to full-time matriculation the latter 3 semesters of the program because of the sequential and concurrent nature of the coursework and planned fieldwork internship. If for some reason a student is unable to take a course in its planned sequence in the cycle, the student may only be able to take the course with another year's class of students as space permits, given the restricted enrollment of the program. After completion of all academic course work in the degree program, students must complete a minimum of 940 hours of approved and supervised fieldwork internship. Most fieldwork internships are traditionally scheduled for a normal 40 hour work week.

Typically anything with the word "cake" in it doesn't usually qualify as a healthy food option. However, when we're talking about whole grains and fruit, sure, why not! Check out these tasty Whole Wheat Apple Pancakes.
They are simple to make and freeze perfectly. I keep a stash in the freezer and pull one out for my little girl and she loves to eat these finger food style! I just let them sit at room temp and they thaw in just a few minutes. You can also pop them in a toaster or toaster oven to get them nice and warm.
Whole Wheat Apple Pancakes
- 1 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour (you could use White Whole Wheat Flour as well)
- 1 tbsp. Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
- 3/4 cup Applesauce
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 Egg Whites
- 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
Stir together the dry ingredients in a small bowl. Combine the wet ingredients in a large bowl and pour the flour mixture over the wet ingredients. Stir just until combined. Lightly grease and heat a griddle over medium high heat. Pour about 1/4 worth of batter onto the hot griddle. These little guys puff up quickly.
Once bubbles appear flip the pancake.
These pancakes are a tasty treat alone, or topped with all kinds of goodies like fresh apple slices, warm maple syrup, a few chopped toasted walnuts, or this apple cinnamon raisin topping would be great!
And don't forget to stop by Babble.com to give Squash Blossom Babies a thumbs up…I was recently nominated as one of the top 100 Food Mom Blogs! Thank you!!

FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. (WUSA)- Fairfax County Police, along with Prince William County and Manassas Park police, are investigating a series of armed robberies that have taken place since December 29, 2011, and which involve a white female suspect.
The first robbery took place December 29, 2011, at a Shell Gas station at 13704 Lee Jackson Memorial Highway in the Chantilly area. Around 10:30 p.m., a woman entered the business, displayed a small silver handgun and demanded cash. The clerk gave cash to the suspect, who then left in a dark-colored station wagon.

Around 11:09 p.m., a woman entered the store, displayed a black handgun and demanded money.

A University of Virginia student will study in Russia next spring and summer, thanks to a David L. Boren Scholarship, which provides up to $20,000 to U.S. students to study abroad in areas of the world that are critical to U.S. interests and underrepresented in study abroad.
Samantha Guthrie, 19, of Yorktown, a Russian and Eastern European studies and foreign affairs double major in the College of Arts & Sciences, will use her Boren Scholarship to study Russian as well as the politics of the former Soviet Union and political and cultural movements in Azerbaijan.
"I want to be able to study Russian in a full immersive environment to achieve the most effective experience," she said.
Guthrie was drawn to Russian through her interest in the history of Cold War; while already fluent in Arabic, she found Russian to be "romantic." She became interested in Azerbaijan because of its strategic importance, with oil reserves and the re-emergence of Islam, which had been opposed in the former Soviet territory.
"There are more ethnic Azerbaijanis in northern Iran than there are in country of Azerbaijan," she said. "It is like twins separated at birth. It is interesting to see the different development."
Guthrie was selected the first time she applied for the scholarship. "I am so shocked to be chosen as a first-year student, and so blessed for this amazing opportunity," said Guthrie, now a rising second-year student. "I just hope I can use it to my full advantage and really make the most of the award."
This year, the Institute of International Education, on behalf of the National Security Education Program, awarded 161 Boren scholarships for undergraduates to study 34 different languages. More than 5,000 students have received Boren Scholarships since 1994.
"The Boren awards are very competitive, and Samantha Guthrie has achieved a great deal getting this scholarship as a first-year student," said Dudley Doane, director of Special Academic Programs and of the International Studies Office. "This shows the strength of our program, and it is a wonderful opportunity for Samantha to study and fully engage with a host community for up to a year."
Rachel Stauffer, outreach coordinator in the College, taught Guthrie in a "Russia and the Caucasus" course offered through the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures. She praised Guthrie for her enthusiasm about and her interest in the Caucasus region.
"Samantha is very passionate about Azerbaijani culture and politics," Stauffer said. "I have no doubt that this will be a great experience for her. I would not be surprised if someday she is serving as the U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan."
Guthrie, a graduate of York High School, is a member of the Wesley Foundation, Student Council, College Council and Global Student Council. Her long-range goal, she said, is to earn a master's degree in international relations and work for the federal government on aid initiatives. The Boren Scholarship requires that the recipient work for the federal government for at least a year.
"I would eventually like to work for a nongovernmental organization that focuses on politics, humanitarian aid, or community and youth development in Eastern Europe or Central Asia," she said. "The government service requirement fits perfectly with my career goals as I would love to use my Russian language skills to aid national security initiatives."
David Boren, currently president of the University of Oklahoma, is a former U.S. senator who was the principal author of the legislation that created the National Security Education Program and the scholarships and fellowships that bear his name.
"Never in our history has it been more important for America's future leaders to have a deep understanding of the rest of the world," Boren said. "As we seek to lead through partnerships, respect for and understanding of other cultures and languages is absolutely essential."

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Jerry Jones never wanted to change coaches this season. As the blowout losses mounted, and Wade Phillips' defense was mostly to blame, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys had no choice.
Jones fired Phillips on Monday and promoted offensive coordinator Jason Garrett to take his place on an interim basis. Defensive line coach Paul Pasqualoni was promoted to replace Phillips' other role as defensive coordinator.
"I recognized that after the game we just weren't playing winning football and our best chance was to make a change," Jones said. "We are grateful to Wade and his contribution to the Cowboys, leading us. We also clearly understand we are not where we want to be at this time, and that's an understatement. We share the responsibility — all of us."
It's the first time Dallas has made an in-season coaching change. Garrett becomes the first former Cowboys player to take over the job previously held by the likes of Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells.
Jones decided enough was enough following a 45-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night. It was the Cowboys' fifth straight loss, dropping them to 1-7.

Martin St. Louis' day started way better than it finished.
The former Tampa Bay Lightning star got his wish when he was dealt to the New York Rangers on NHL trade deadline day. He then got into the lineup with his new team right away, but wasn't able to celebrate his first home win on Broadway.
Tyler Bozak scored on a penalty shot and then got the winning goal 1:51 into overtime to lift Toronto to a 3-2 victory over the Rangers on Wednesday night after the Maple Leafs squandered a two-goal lead in the third period.
"Tonight was a gutsy comeback," St. Louis said. "Unfortunately we didn't get the extra point, but I was happy to come here and just break the ice."
'Tonight was a gutsy comeback. Unfortunately we didn't get the extra point, but I was happy to come here and just break the ice.' - Rangers forward Martin St. Louis
Bozak got to a loose puck in front that bounced past Rangers defencemen Dan Girardi and Ryan McDonagh and slammed a shot past Henrik Lundqvist to snap the Maple Leafs' three-game losing streak (0-1-2) and stretch New York's skid to three (0-2-1).
Lundqvist slammed his stick on the glass as he left the ice and was still aggravated when he got to the dressing room.
"Every point is important right now. It's annoying the way it ends," he said. "We played really well and worked ourselves back into this game. It's a big frustration right now to not come out of it with two points."
Toronto built a 2-0 lead on Bozak's second-period goal and Nazem Kadri's tally in the third. The Rangers tied it on short-handed goals by McDonagh and Dominic Moore 1:19 apart.
"That was tough," Bozak said of the Rangers' rally. "Just have to play well on the power play. We played well for the most part. Made better decisions, just got lackadaisical for a bit."
Lundqvist bounced back from two straight losses in which he gave up 10 goals, and finished with 26 saves. Toronto's Jonathan Bernier had dropped two straight after regulation — allowing nine goals in the process — before sitting out Monday's loss against Columbus. He stopped 35 shots.
The Rangers got even by scoring twice on the first power play they gave up in two games.
McDonagh made it 2-1 at 5:34 with his 10th goal, and Moore tied it when he finished a 2-on-1 rush with Derek Stepan. It was the second time in four games Toronto allowed two short-handed goals on one power play.
"Aside from those two minutes on the power play, we played a strong game," Kadri said. "We got the result we wanted, the two points.
"We just to have to clean up the power play and we'll be better, but we're all pleased with the overall good job we did."
That was enough to prevent St. Louis from being a winner in his first Rangers game.
Rare swap
St. Louis was acquired Wednesday morning from Tampa Bay in the rare swap of team captains that sent New York's Ryan Callahan to the Lightning. St. Louis, whose jersey was flying off the racks in the team store at Madison Square Garden before the game, got the chance to wear his own just hours after being dealt.
"I always felt if I was going to leave Tampa, the first place I'd want to play would be in New York," St. Louis said. "It's been in the back of my mind for a long time, but I wouldn't trade those 14 years in Tampa for anything."
Just after Toronto killed a power play that carried over from the first period, James van Riemsdyk came out of the penalty box and sent Bozak in on a breakaway. Rangers defenceman John Moore hounded him from behind with his stick and prevented Bozak from getting a clean shot away. However, Bozak was awarded with a penalty shot at 1:44.
Bozak skated in on Lundqvist, who came way out above his crease, and found space between his pads to score his 13th goal of the season on his first career penalty shot.
The Maple Leafs' next best scoring chance didn't register on the shot board as defenceman Jake Gardiner's drive struck the crossbar and then the right post before bounding away. It was originally ruled a goal on the ice, but that call was overturned by video replay.
Toronto managed only five shots in the second period, compared to nine for New York.
The Maple Leafs doubled their lead at 2:00 of the third when Kadri steered in the rebound of Nikolai Kulemin's shot.
St. Louis got a nice ovation when he hopped over the boards for his first shift 38 seconds in, and created a surge of excitement when he fired a hard shot on goal from the top edge of the left circle.
Bernier was sharp and stood tall following a handful of miscues by teammates in front of him, stopping 12 shots in the first period. Lundqvist was just as solid at the other end, denying all 11 shots that came his way.
