Today in TV History
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Michael "The Situation" Sorentino and the rest of the housemates debuted on hit MTV docuseries "Jersey Shore" in 2009. It aired for seven editions through the end of 2012 and spun-off two non-scripted half-hours: "The Pauly D Project" with Paul "DJ Pauly D" DelVecchio, and "Snooki & JWoww" with Snooki and Jennifer "JWoww" Farley. Also on this day was the 200th episode of CBS serialized drama "Knots Landing" in 1987, which featured the aftermath of the passing of Laura Avery Sumner (Constance McCashin).

Clean Sweep for NBC
Fox 3.2/ 5
-Percent Change from Year-Ago Evening – Monday 12/03/12:
ABC and NBC: + 7 each, CW: -11, Fox: -14, CBS: -21
"The Voice" (NBC), "The Blacklist" (NBC)
-Honorable Mention:
"How I Met Your Mother" (CBS), "2 Broke Girls" (CBS), "Mike & Molly" (CBS)
-Losers (excluding repeats):
"Hostages" (CBS)
Ratings Breakdown:
It was a clean overnight household sweep for NBC, which will translate into a solid victory in all key demos. Two-hours of "The Voice" scored a 7.6 rating/12 share from 8-10 p.m., which was right on par from the year-ago evening. And that led into a 7.3/13 for bona fide freshman hit "The Blacklist" at 10 p.m., which rose to its best overnight rating since Oct. 14. Week-to-week, "The Blacklist" built by 11 percent (versus a 6.6/11 on Nov. 25). Keep in mind, of course, that "Dancing With the Stars" on ABC concluded its current edition last week.
Second-place CBS increased by nine-percent versus last week with its combination of "How I Met Your Mother" (#2: 5.5/ 9), "2 Broke Girls" (#2: 5.6/ 9), "Mike & Molly" (#2: 5.8/ 9), "Mom" (#2: 5.1/ 8) and "Hostages" (#3: 3.4/ 6). But the reality of the Eye net's Monday line-up was year-to-year erosion of 21 percent (with "Hostages," in particular, down by 46 percent from the 6.3/10 for "Hawaii Five-O" on 12/03/12). Coming up on CBS in the Monday 10 p.m. hour effective on January 13 is midseason drama "Intelligence" (which will preview out of "NCIS" at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday, January 7th).
Over at ABC, annual animated holiday special, "A Charlie Brown Christmas" finished third with a 4.3/ 7 in the overnights from 8-9 p.m. Comparably, that was 13 percent above the 3.8/ 7 for its year-ago telecast (on Tuesday 12/18/12) and the young adult demos are expected to be notably stronger than prior (and returning) time period occupant "Dancing With the Stars." Next was two-hour special, "CMA Country Christmas" at a 4.6/ 8 from 9-11 p.m., which only fluctuated by two-tenths of a rating point in the four half-hours.
Elsewhere, week three of Fox drama "Almost Human" as the Monday 8 p.m. anchor scored a 4.2/ 7 (#4), which was five percent below one week earlier. And that 4.4/ 7 last week translated into 6.12 million viewers and a 1.9 rating/5 share among adults 18-49, based on the live plus same day data. Three week overnight track for "Almost Human": 4.8/ 7 – 4.4/ 7 – 4.2/ 7). Next on Fox was an encore of "Sleepy Hollow" at a distant fourth-place 2.2/ 3 at 9 p.m.
The CW pre-empted its low-rated pairing of "Hart of Dixie" and "Beauty and the Beast" for a repeat of 2002 theatrical "It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie," which scored a mere 0.8/ 1 from 8-10 p.m.

Sam Champion to Exit ABC for The Weather Channel
"Good Morning America" anchorman Sam Champion is leaving ABC effective tomorrow to join The Weather Channel as both the anchor of its upcoming flagship morning show, which is set to debut in early 2014, and the network's managing editor. Champion, who joined ABC 25 years ago as weather anchor for WABC in New York, has been a daily fixture on "GMA" since 2006. Champion will relocate to Atlanta for this new opportunity and will remain host of weekly syndicated educational and information program "Sea Rescue," which airs during Litton's "Weekend Adventure" block.
NBC Developing Eliot Ness Miniseries
Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron ("Chicago," "Smash," "The Academy Awards"), who are behind the live production of "The Sound of Music" on NBC this Thursday, are taking a more serious turn with an upcoming eight-hour miniseries for NBC focusing on iconic Prohibition agent Eliot Ness. Based on the book "Nemesis: The Final Case of Eliot Ness" by William Bernhardt, the Sony Pictures Television production will be set in 1935 with Ness as Cleveland's newly appointed Director of Public Safety. Deadline originally reported the news.
Eliot Ness, of course, was portrayed on the big screen by Oscar winner Kevin Costner in the remake of "The Untouchables" in 1987. But Robert Stack immortalized the part in the 1959-63 ABC drama of the same name, which began as a segment on anthology series "Desilu Playhouse" on CBS in 1959. Stack reprised his Emmy winning role in 1991 in NBC made-for TV movie "The Return of Eliot Ness." Other series with episodes featuring other actors playing Eliot Ness include "Unsolved Mysteries," "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" and "Supernatural."
"Jimmy Kimmel Live" Rises to a Season High on ABC
Based on the live plus same day data for the week of November 18 (and excluding NBA Finals week in June), late night occupant "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on ABC rose to its largest overall audience — 2.86 million total viewers, 1.05 million adults 18-49 — since its first week at 11:35 p.m. ET (week of Jan. 7, 2013). Comparably, Kimmel built by 15 percent in total viewers and 29 percent in adults 18-49 from one week earlier, with gains over the year-ago week (at 12:05 a.m. ET) of 63 percent and 86 percent, respectively.
For the week, "Jimmy Kimmel Live" ranked as the week's No. 2 talker in late night in adults 18-49, with only 59,000 viewers behind "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" in the demo on NBC.
Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan Return as Co-Hosts of the "Academy of Country Music Awards"
Four-time ACM Award winner Blake Shelton and reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan will return to co-host the 49TH annual "Academy of Country Music Awards." Broadcast live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 6 from 8-11 p.m. and produced by dick clark productions, this will be Shelton's fourth consecutive turn and Bryan's second hosting the Awards telecast.
Ratings Surge for "The NFL on CBS"
Coverage of the Week 13 NFL doubleheader on CBS was notably above average on Sunday, Dec. 1st. The network's late afternoon window (beginning at 4:25 PM ET) earned a 17.4 rating/31 share in the household overnights — the top NFL rating for any game that day and up by 14 percent from the year-ago 15.3/28 (Pittsburgh-Baltimore, Cincinnati-San Diego, Cleveland-Oakland). The late games on Sunday featured Denver's 35-28 victory over Kansas City and Cincinnati's 17-10 win over San Diego. For more, click on the following: http://tinyurl.com/lrd3hdm

Solid Midseason Finale for "The Walking Dead"
The midseason ender of AMC mega-hit "The Walking Dead" delivered 12.1 million total viewers and 7.7 million adults 18-49 on Sunday at 9 p.m. ET, which brought the first eight episodes of the current fourth season to an average of 13 million viewers and 8.4 million adults 18-49. After-show "Talking Dead," hosted by Chris Hardwick, followed with a record 6 million viewers and 3.8 million adults 18-49 at 10 p.m., which season to-date built by 128 percent in total viewers and 120 percent in the demo. "The Walking Dead" will return for the second half of this fourth season on Sunday, February 9 (followed by new episodes of "Talking Dead" and "Comic Book Men").
History Developing Miniseries "Hannibal" with Halle Berry
History is developing a miniseries headlined and executive produced by Academy Award winner Halle Berry tentatively titled "Hannibal," which will tell the story of the greatest generals in antiquity – Hannibal Birca and his archrival Scipio Africanus – who went head-to-head in the Second Punic War. Co-produced by A&E Studios and Red Arrow Entertainment, Oscar-nominated writer Dirk Hoogstra ("The Constant Garderner," "Goldeneye") will pen the script, which begins in Carthage, 264 BC. Steven Jensen, Vincent Cirrincione and Jeffery Caine will also serve as executive producers.
Given that NBC drama "Hannibal" is waiting in the midseason wings for its second season, chances are History will find a different title.
TNT Promotes the Upcoming Launch of "Mob City"
TNT is partnering with advertising agency Deutsch NY to open a pop-up haberdashery in New York's Chelsea Market (75 9th Avenue, between 15th and 16th Street) through tomorrow in conjunction with the launch of "Mob City." "Mickey's Haberdashery," named for key "Mob City" figure Mickey Cohen, will be designed in the mode of the upcoming scripted mob drama, which is set in 1940s Los Angeles and will offer shoppers a chance to purchase some "Mob City"-themed gifts.
The opening episode of "Mob City," meanwhile, is about to become the first television screenplay ever to be adapted for and published through Twitter. The so-called "adaptweetion" began rolling out on Twitter through the handle @MobCityTNT yesterday. "Mob City" from writer-director-executive producer Frank Darabont and featuring Jon Bernthal, Ed Burns and Neal McDonough, is slated to air over three consecutive Wednesdays — Dec. 4, 11 and 18 — from 9-11 p.m. ET.

CBI Retail Sales Weaken Pound, Glimmer of Hope Remains
US Durable Goods Orders Help Mexican Peso, Currency Loses Gains Later
US Dollar Index Slightly Lower in Choppy Trading
US dollar index is slightly lower today as choppy trading is the norm. Many currencies are trading mixed right now, and that includes the greenback. With concerns about the eurozone, and with speculation about continued currency wars some countries attempt to stimulate their economies, there is some thought that the dollar will show relative strength overall.
Right now, there is enough risk appetite to help high beta currencies, particularly the euro, against the US dollar. Greenback is a little lower right now, with the dollar index slipping. The latest numbers on US home prices are out, and the news is filling some with optimism for the US economic recovery.
The S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city composite index inched up 0.1 per cent in January, bringing the year-over-year gain to 8.1 per cent. This new reading shows the strongest performance for the housing market in six years. As a result US stocks are rallying, and high beta currencies are getting something of a boost while the US dollar isn't needed as a safe haven.
However, with the uncertainty remaining in Europe, and with Japan and the United Kingdom ready to ease more, there is a case for relative dollar strength the year.
At 15:27 GMT the dollar index is down to 82.80 from the open at 82.89. EUR/USD is up to 1.2874 from the open at 1.2849. GBP/USD is down to 1.5158 from the open at 1.5172.

Do you worry that you have to "settle" for less attractive or less interesting women when you get older?
There's a reason some older men feel this way. I'm not going to pretend that attracting beautiful women is the same if you're 21 or 61. SOME women just won't date an older man. Some women won't date outside their religion or ethnicity. That's life.
BUT…you're not trying to be with EVERY woman on the planet. Even if you want a different woman every night, that means all the women you sleep with this year would fit into a large airplane, with seats to spare. For every narrow-minded woman, there are tons of women who are just as hot and just as interesting as the ones the 28-year olds are dating, who will want to be with you.
If you are with someone because you don't feel you can do any better, you are cheating yourself.
Take my friend and colleague Jeff (aka Love Systems instructor "Bullet"). He turns 50 this year. He passed through the same tough criteria and infield tests as every other Love Systems instructor, and picks up the same quality women.
And it's all with "cold approach" at coffee shops, lounges, and nightclubs. He travels the world helping out at Love Systems bootcamps, and doesn't stay anywhere long enough to use Social Circle Mastery. But he has a network of beautiful women in their 20s and 30s in every port of call.
We're not talking about desperate women either. One of the guys snuck a camera into the last Love Systems bootcamp to see if Bullet was for real. It's not the best hidden-camera footage in the world, but she's obviously attractive:
One of the things Bullet DOESN'T do is pretend to be rich. That can work, but isn't really very satisfying. And since Bullet HAS done well in life, he doesn't want gold-diggers.
What he has done is adapt the fundamentals of Love Systems to make it specific to men in their late 30s, 40s, and 50s. Kind of like what Jeremy Soul did when he saw how powerful Love Systems could be for Day Game, just by making a few changes and emphasizing some things more than others. Bullet has done the same for older men, especially older men dating younger women.
In a recent TV interview, Jeff (Bullet) said:
"When you're significantly older than she is, there's less margin for error. You've got to have tight specialist game both in verbal and non-verbal communication. If you're already reasonably familiar with the Love Systems approach, I can teach you what you need in one day and one night."
Here are some of the things that Bullet emphasizes:
Emotional range. As most guys get older they lose emotional range in communication and often appear too serious. It's natural – your life is more serious than it was when you were 21. But for women, attraction is a purely emotional process – and you need to show her emotional range.
How to "get in the game." If the age difference is big enough, she won't even be thinking of you romantically or sexually when you first approach her. (He won't let me elaborate on this one in a public newsletter.
Confident body language for older men. It's OK for a younger guy to sometimes seem nervous or awkward but the older you get, the less room for error you have here.
When and how to escalate and turn things sexual. Standard Love Systems escalation works best in nightclubs where alcohol, music, and people of similar age allow rapid escalation. Doing this too early as an older man can risk coming off as "creepy." Bullet has his own calibration tests, so you know exactly when she's ready. (As with standard Love Systems, waiting too long can be just as disastrous as being too aggressive.)
How to dress. This is crucial when you get older since your aura of masculinity is one of your biggest strengths. However, older men are usually unaware of it and rarely dress to enhance that advantage. Bullet shows you how, without the tuxedo.
It's not a completely new system. It can't be if he's training you on it in one day and one night. It's the approach you already use (Love Systems), highly-targeted to you personally. Just like how Fader can show you how to refine Love Systems to pick up strippers or Nick Hoss can teach how to adjust Love Systems to pick up at malls and street corners, Bullet specializes in older men.
Life is short. Live it with the quality of women you deserve. Is it worth it to you to check this out, if Bullet can correct things you probably don't even know that you're doing that stand in the way of the life, and the women, you deserve?
Like I said, Bullet is always on the move, so I don't have a schedule for him. To learn more about Bullet, email Jeremy, our Program Manager (email@example.com) for more information. Be sure to include your location and goals. Or give him a call in Los Angeles during normal business hours at +1 (323) 836-0150 or Toll Free at 800.680.0821.
Take care,
Nick (Savoy)

WASHINGTON – Should you file your income taxes jointly or as a married person filing single?
Whether you are married at the end of the year or at the beginning, the Internal Revenue Service sees you has married.
If you're wondering whether filing jointly will save you the money, the answer depends.
If one spouse made a lot more than the other, SmartMoney.com reports it may be worth it to file jointly.
For married couples filing jointly, there are a number of tax breaks, including IRA contributions, college tuition deductions and child and dependant care tax credits.
If one of you self-employed and the other isn't, you may want to file separately. The same goes if both of you have your own businesses.
The best rule is to explore both options.

from Morning Bid with David Gaffen:
The cage is full
The equity market stabilized on Tuesday but only just barely - a 0.16 percent gain on the S&P 500 is nothing to write home about - but that the market bounced off support levels around 1,876 was notable enough.

Betting on (expensive and over-owned) Indian equities
How much juice is left in the Indian equity story? Mumbai's share index has raced to successive record highs and has gained 24 percent so far this year in dollar terms as investors have bought into Prime Minister Narendra Modi's reform promises.

MORNING BID – Once Upon a Dream
Disney is expected to report third-quarter results after market close and is likely to beat average analyst estimates, according to StarMine. The media company's results could get a boost from "Maleficent", its revisionist take on "Sleeping Beauty" featuring Angelina Jolie, but the company's prowess doesn't end there, not with "Captain America: Winter Soldier" also a box-office champ in 2014 – which was also released during its most recent reporting period.
from Counterparties:
MORNING BID – Minute by minutes
The bond market remains pretty much tethered to the 2.50 percent to 2.60 percent range that's prevailed for the 10-year note for quite some time now, with the primary catalyst being today's release of the Federal Reserve's minutes from its most recent meeting. The relevant data that investors are probably paying most attention to - the jobs report last week, the JOLTS jobs survey, shows some more things that is meant to keep the Fed engaged rather than moving toward an imminent increase in rates. The quit rate - the rate at which people leave jobs for others - is still historically a bit on the low side, not at a level that would make the Fed more comfortable that the kind of labor-market dynamism needed for the Fed to shift to raising interest rates. Fact is, the central bank just isn't there yet.
from Counterparties:
MORNING BID – Microsoft, up from the ashes
Microsoft heads into tonight's earnings report coming in on a high, having recently breached the $40 threshold for the first time in forever (it's all Frozen references this week, folks). The company pushed past $40 a share in early April for the first time in nearly 14 years, and spent most of that time ensconced in a tight range between about $22 and $35 a share, depending on what the overall market was doing. It tanked in 2008 with everything else, and then spent the 2010-2012 period putting together a cumulative 13 percent price loss in the midst of a raging bull market, if evidence of its sad-sack status couldn't be more apparent.
from Counterparties:
MORNING BID: Running on Empty
The most interesting developing trend in the U.S. equity market has been the recent stumble in the biotech and momentum-oriented names, be it Gilead Sciences, Biogen, Netflix or a few others. The biotechs were a group often cited as having entered a "parabolic" stage, which in market parlance refers basically to "going up and up and up in a straight line." The move wasn't anything on the order of the homebuilders during the housing bubble of 2006 to 2007, or the tech giants during the latter stages of the tech run - a 300 percent gain versus 700 to 800 percent gains back in the other cases. That doesn't mean we won't see an ongoing breakdown, though some of the selling abated late in the Monday session.

A wreath-laying ceremony honoring veterans was held Monday on the grounds of the Monroe City Hall. Local veterans attended as well as motorcycle riders with Run for the Wall. Arely Castillo/The News-Star
- Filed Under
More than 100 veterans, their friends and families gathered at the War Memorial on the lawn of Monroe City Hall this morning to recognize the thousands of veterans who are riding motorcycles cross-country to reach the nation's capital this Memorial Day weekend.
The grounds were filled with a caravan of hundreds of veterans on motorcycles who arrived in Monroe Sunday night as part of the 24th Annual Run for the Wall. The group came to Monroe after five days of travel and left from city hall for five more days on the road to Washington, D.C.
The Run For the Wall brings together thousands of citizens ...

If you are a non-traditional student counting on evening/ online classes - meet with an advisor and research your program! Make sure it is possible to obtain when you cannot take classes during the day. The administration and advisors will not go out of their way to help you, so make sure you are covered up front.Read More
Before you come here, make sure you really check it out and look around. Yes, it is convenient and inexpensive, but it isn't exactly like your traditional college experience. It can still be a good college to go to; it's just a little different than others. There is no football game on Friday night, most people are commuters from the local area, most people eat in their apartments, and there aren't a lot of extracurricular activities.Read More
Don't pass this school by just because it's small and considered a community college by many. It is much more than a community college; It has become a second home to many. Give it a chance!Read More
Communicating with professors of your major is a great tool. My accounting professor helped me way more than my adviser with deciding classes I needed to take and my path to graduation.Read More
Like all college prep you will want to do your research on your degree. Make sure you can verify what your academic advisor is telling you, as when you first come in they will not have your best interest at heart always. You have to be your own advocate when it comes to your education. Also unless college is your complete life, don't over do it. Take just the amount of credits you need to achieve full time status. Seriously, pace yourself you don't want to wear yourself out by burning the candle at both ends. College in itself is a job before your career.Read More

Week Ending Nov. 25, 2012. Albums: Crash And Burn
This is one of those weeks where the downward moves and slow starts are more interesting than the upward moves. Susan Boyle's Standing Ovation: The Greatest Songs From The Stage drops from #12 to #31 in its second week, suggesting that her appeal owed a great deal to her compelling back story (the frumpy woman with the golden voice), a hook that is no longer fresh. The Rolling Stones' GRRR! drops from #19 to #64 in its second week, proving that a 50th anniversary hook isn't enough to sell a three-disk album in this market and/or that even with name-checks in #1 hits by Ke$ha and Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera, Mick Jagger is still a distant figure to today's record buyers.
Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You: The Best Of Whitney Houston drops from #14 to #58 in its second week, despite the promotion of We Will Always Love You: A Grammy Salute To Whitney Houston, which aired on Nov. 16. And despite sale pricing on the album last week. (The album has sold just 57K copies in its first two weeks of release.) Likewise, Michael Jackson's Bad re-enters the chart at #142. I expected much more in the wake of ABC's Thanksgiving night airing of Spike Lee's documentary on the making of the album. It was a 90-minute commercial for the album, and it motivated only 11K people to actually buy the album this week(!). (And that tally combines sales of Bad and Bad 25, which sold 2K copies this week, too few to make the chart. The elaborate Bad 25 package has sold just 20K copies in its 10 weeks of release.)
Soundgarden's King Animal drops from #5 to #52 in its second week, proving that the band's decision to take 16 years between studio albums wasn't, well, sound. Green Day's Dos! plummets from #9 to #75 in its second week, proving that the band would probably have been better off putting out one killer album in which they culled the best songs from Uno!, Dos! and Tre!, rather than releasing three albums in quick succession.
Here are some more drops that caught my eye. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2 drops from #3 to #24, even though the movie was #1 at the box-office for the second straight weekend. Lana Del Rey's EP Paradise drops from #10 to #76 in its second week. The Deftones' Koi No Yokan drops from #11 to #83 in its second week. Aaron Lewis' first full-length solo album, The Road, drops from #30 to #122 in its second week. (At least he's still got his day job in Staind to go back to.)

When Nintendo cuts 1/3 by not helping them to make horrible games, I will cry of course. I will scream every where that Nintendo is bad, is hard to program, the console lacks power, etc.
Why do I scream and yell ? Because I´m not getting more money.
It´s so easy to understand: my money? ok. Give me good games, then we well have a deal.

New Sport's Inspiration Seems To Be Every Sport Ever At Once

None of the charismatic prophets or would-be messiahs had corporate sponsorship.
Social investors must look past charismatic front men and clever marketing.
In his previous roles, the 26-year-old actor was like Vince Vaughn-lite—a charismatic, eminently likeable motor mouth.
As Jordan Belfort, a charismatic monster of a stockbroker, DiCaprio is a feral beast; the id incarnate.
The coolest thing was obviously meeting the president of the United States and seeing how charismatic he actually is.
On top of leading this movement, she was charismatic and funny and the camera loved her.
With the charismatic Deri in a leadership position, they may vote for Shas and increase its power as a swing party.

Conservative commentator Bill O'Reilly likes portraying himself as a deep thinker, but November's election exposed his views of America as shallow, if not short-sighted.
O'Reilly blames President Obama's nonreligious agenda on ageless social and cultural issues, including the legalization of marijuana in two western states, the rate of pre-marital childbirth in America and most Americans' financial dependency on government.
O'Reilly's traditional America is a mere illusion; the primary issues in today's political arena have been a part of the nation's fabric since its humble beginnings
O'Reilly speaks of the 41 percent of American babies being born out of wedlock. According to Steven Mintz and Susan Kellogg's "Domestic Revolutions," more than 40 percent of married women gave birth less than 8˝ months after marriage in the mid-1700s. Richard Godbeer states in "Sexual Revolution in Early America" that it was not unusual for early Americans to live together outside of wedlock.
Many Americans at the time passed from one romantic relationship to the next without thoughts of marriage. Bundling, the act of a couple sleeping together - supposedly without sexual contact - was prevalent among the poor in the Northern colonies during harsh winters.
O'Reilly took aim at Washington and Colorado, where voters approved the legalization of marijuana. Marijuana, or hemp, as it was more commonly called in Colonial America, was a crop farmers were directed to grow. Colonial Maryland was a source of hemp for the British Empire because the fibers were used to supply England's naval stores. Farmers who refused to grow hemp were fined, while those who cooperated were rewarded with cash crops, such as tobacco.
As a man who speaks about the values the founding fathers stood for, one has to wonder about O'Reilly's views on George Washington's and Thomas Jefferson's experimentation with growing hemp, which they routinely recorded in their journals.
Entitlements and debate over the nation's dependence on federal programs were perhaps the 2012 election's most contentious issues. Even a casual student of history knows America was built on dependence. Colonists depended on the labor of slaves to build infrastructure and grow crops.
The founding fathers, the people from whom O'Reilly draws inspiration for many of his principles, struggled with their dependence on slave labor.
America has for a long time had the same flaws about which O'Reilly complains; they aren't going away in the near future.

Oscars Parties: Naomi Watts

Naomi Watts did the old Oscars switch-up on us tonight, swapping her incredible silver-sequined Armani Privé gown for an equally stunning Emilio Pucci number. The actress arrived at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty in the asymmetrical black-and-gold beaded dress, which perfectly accentuated her curves. Not only did we die for Naomi's first look, but her second one tonight is just as killer — what do you think?

Did you check the name of the function in the documents for the Pro version?
I don't have access to these however i think the problem is the Pro version uses a different name for the function.
Please check this and reply here with the PHP code which they supply for installation of the Pro version.
As previously stated, the code above works for the Lite version only.
I'm not sure about the php code. All I have is this documentation from the easingslider pro website:
If you wish to display a slideshow within your theme, you must use the PHP function. Shortcodes are not supported within theme files. Using the PHP function is easy. Simply insert the code below into the theme file you wish to display a slideshow in. Again, don't forget to replace the "1″ with the ID of the slideshow you wish to display.
<?php if ( function_exists('easingsliderpro') ) { easingsliderpro( 1 ); } ?>
I found it on this page: http://easingslider.com/docs/displaying-slideshows/
That's why it didn't work because the function name is different for the 2 slider versions
Tested this code and it works:
Otherwise please change the conditional tag if needed.
That worked! Thanks! Now, is there any way to get the sidebar on my homepage?
Start another thread please and marked this one as resolved. It will get answered faster that way.
Try the Genesis Layout Extra plugin
Thanks, Brad. The layout extra plugin worked perfectly. I really appreciate all your help.
No worries @jchick and thanks for hanging in there!

Personally, I dont like stepping too much in academic, as you will lose the realistic for real world projects. That's why my research area was E-commerce systems and information security.
1. The Use Case Diagram
Originally posted by Ko Ko Naing: What are the advantages of flow diagram that is introduced by UML 2.0? Thanks...
Originally posted by Somkiat Puisungnoen: You can draw UML diagram in follow phase of development process.. 1. Use case diagram in Requirement phase 2. Class diagram, package diagram, Sequence diagram, activities diagram are draw in Design/Analysis phase. 3. Deployment diagram MUST draw before install project.
Originally posted by Ko Ko Naing: Is that soem kinda sequence diagram? I think Sequence Diagram can help the developers a lot to know how data will be processed through the flows...
I think, if you make/work in standard step, you can adapt step/solution to use in real world project.
However, backward reengineering is always what the world do.
Diagrams should be tools, not something you "have to" do.
In my work, this solution never use in all project. Because i must create all diagram before coding/developement process.
Originally posted by Nicholas Cheung: Basically, use case diagram is not new to UML 2.0, as it also exists in UML 1.x. What is new about use case diagram is it adds multiplicity. Nick
Can i relate my jsp page, java beans and database flow in a single sequence diagram?
Reference: http://bdn.borland.com/article/0,1410,30166,00.html
What's New in UML 2? Answer : 1. The Use Case Diagram
Originally posted by Nicholas Cheung: Basically, I guess people who invent UML aim to put down all diagrams and flows before the coding pharse.
The people who invented UML are the same who invented RUP. And RUP doesn't have a coding phase - in fact, coding is part of every of the four phases of RUP:
I have no information about the "formal method" that you have told. So could you inform me about the sources where I could get information on it.
Originally posted by Mukesh Agrawal: Hi, Thanks for your guidance. But will this book provide us with the complete solution of UML from the start of the Project till end ? Mukesh Agrawal
Originally posted by Mcgill Smith: Can tools resolve conflicts between interacting refactorings?
Originally posted by Warren Dew: Rajan Chinna: When do we draw UML diagrams in the project life cycle?
Originally posted by Somkiat Puisungnoen: Flow diagram or DFD (Data Flow Diagram) DFDs show the flow of data from external entities into the system, showed how the data moved from one process to another. But DFD don't have target for OO Language.
Originally posted by Nicholas Cheung: It depends on the culture and company policy. Of course, in IBM, they may not use backward reengineering. But how about you have a medium-sized project for only 2 weeks time with 4 people only. Although you can argue that such time frame is not reasonable, however, software house always need to face this issue. They wanna get most of the potential customers, and use a lower price to bid it (so that they can get the project) and give out the system with the fastest time. Nick
In such situation, we might neglect documentation such as drawing this and that in a certain phase and stuff...
Originally posted by Ko Ko Naing: What I just wanna know is that if there exist some kinda difference between DFD introduced by UML 2.0 and traditional DFD that you provided above...
Originally posted by Nicholas Cheung: Basically, I mean the very 1st beginning. As RUP is iternative processes, designing the n+1 phase may be at the same time of coding the n phase. Thus, it will be overlapped. But the very first beginning, no coding should be done before the 1st draft is released. And the phases should be matched. Nick
Originally posted by Stan James: I think you're talking about the new "activity diagram". See http://www.agilemodeling.com/essays/umlDiagrams.htm for this one and all the rest.
In many ways UML activity diagrams are the object-oriented equivalent of flow charts and data flow diagrams (DFDs) from structured development.

UCLA Travels to Oregon State
Fourth-ranked UCLA (7-0) visits 13th-ranked Oregon State (7-5) on Saturday, Feb. 16 at 7 pm. This meet will kick off UCLA's three-game road swing during which the Bruins will face three Top 15 teams in back-to-back-to-back weekends.
Live Coverage
Saturday's meet will be televised live nationally on the Pac-12 Networks at 7 pm. Jim Watson and Olympic gold medalist Amanda Borden will have the call. Live stats will be available at osubeavers.com. Follow @uclagymnastics on Twitter for in-meet updates.
In The Rankings
UCLA remained at No. 4 in the national rankings with a season average of 196.765. The Bruins rank first on floor, fifth on beam, sixth on bars and eighth on vault.
Vanessa Zamarripa ranks No. 1 in the nation in the all-around (39.613) and floor exercise (9.944), No. 4 on uneven bars (9.875) and No. 5 on vault (9.910) and balance beam (9.881). Olivia Courtney ranks 10th in the all-around (39.35), No. 18 on vault (9.885) and tied for No. 9 with Alyssa Pritchett on floor (9.890). Two Bruin freshmen rank in the Top 25 on beam - No. 6 Danusia Francis (9.880) and No. 22 Sophina DeJesus (9.838). Monique De La Torre makes her rankings debut this week on bars at No. 17 (9.850).
Last Time Out
The Bruins hit 24-for-24 routines for the first time this season and captured first place in a quad meet against Washington, UC Davis and Sacramento State with a score of 196.950. Vanessa Zamarripa led the charge once again, scoring 39.625 to win her fourth all-around title in as many attempts. She also took first-place honors on vault, bars and floor. Olivia Courtney also had a strong all-around showing, scoring a season-high 39.475 and tying for first on beam with Danusia Francis.
About The Beavers
Oregon State will be competing in its first home meet since Jan. 11. The Beavers have been on the road for a month and are coming off a 196.3-195.45 win at Arizona State on Feb. 8. Kelsi Blalock ranks eighth in the nation in the all-around (39.425) and 17th on bars (9.85). Makayla Stambaugh leads the Beavers with eight event titles. Oregon State head coach Tanya Chaplin recorded her 300th career win last week.
From Bruins to Beavers
Oregon State coaches Tanya and Michael Chaplin have extensive ties to the UCLA gymnastics program. The former Tanya Service was a six-time All-American and two-time (1987 and 1989) Pac-10 Gymnast of the Year at UCLA while current Bruin head coach Valorie Kondos Field was an assistant coach. OSU associate head coach Michael Chaplin won an NCAA title with the UCLA men's gymnastics team in 1987 and was teammates with current UCLA associate head coach Chris Waller.
Series History
UCLA owns a 45-18-1 series advantage over Oregon State. UCLA won the matchup at the Pac-12 Championships, and the two teams tied on Feb. 17, 2012 in Corvallis with identical scores of 196.775. The last four matchups at Oregon State have been close. In 2012, the Bruins came back from a 0.40 deficit at the halfway mark to tie the Beavers. In 2011, UCLA edged the Beavers by .05, 196.675-196.625, with a fourth rotation rally on the balance beam. The dual meet in 2009 came down to the last routine, with Aisha Gerber's 9.875 on beam clinching UCLA's 196.575-196.35 win. In 2007, Oregon State needed a hit routine from its last competitor on floor to seal the victory (196.65-196.375).
Zamarripa Ties Record with Fourth Pac-12 Gymnast of the Week Honor
Vanessa Zamarripa earned her second consecutive and fourth overall Pac-12 Gymnast of the Week award this season, tying the conference record held by UCLA's Kristen Maloney in 2005 for most Gymnast of the Week awards in one season. Zamarripa won the all-around for the fourth time this season and took first place honors on three events in UCLA's quad meet win over Washington, UC Davis and Sacramento State. Now ranked No. 1 in the nation, Zamarripa scored 39.625 in the all-around to boost her season average to 39.613. She also won vault for the third-straight meet, scoring 9.95, placed first on uneven bars with a 9.925 and remained undefeated on floor exercise, earning 9.925. With her three event victories last weekend, Zamarripa has now placed first on 12 of 18 routines this season, and she also has won the all-around in each of the four meets in which she has competed all four events.
Courtney Continues Consistent Effort
Junior Olivia Courtney has been one of the Bruins' most consistent gymnasts since her freshman season. Through her career, she has hit 95 of 98 routines (97%), with all three misses coming on balance beam, and is 17-for-17 this season. She averages 9.889 on vault, 9.828 on bars and 9.847 on floor in her career. Last weekend, she posted 39.475 in the all-around, just .025 shy of a personal-best, and tied for first on beam with a season-high 9.875.
Back On Bars
Senior Monique De La Torre made her season debut on uneven bars last weekend after sitting out the event the first four meets due to a shoulder injury. The 2011 first-team All-American showed no signs of rust with her new routine that featured a hop full to double layout dismount, scoring 9.85.
Francis Beaming as Anchor
Freshman Danusia Francis has flourished in the role of anchor on balance beam. Since being moved to that position vs. Utah on Jan. 12, she has placed first in every meet, scoring 9.925 twice and 9.875 two other times. Francis ranks sixth in the nation on the event with an average of 9.880. The 2012 British Olympic alternate made her debut in the floor lineup last weekend, scoring 9.725 after going out of bounds on her last tumbling pass.
DeJesus Sidelined Another Week
Freshman Sophina DeJesus is expected to sit out for a second-straight week after sustaining a concussion during practice last week. DeJesus has been a strong performer for the Bruins all season, earning Pac-12 Freshman/Newcomer of the Week honors twice and totaling two event wins and five Top 3 finishes. She is averaging over 9.825 on both beam and floor and has a high of 9.9 on uneven bars.
Rookie Performers Shine
With UCLA needing to replace 12 routines from last year's NCAA Championships, many new faces are emerging to play key roles in 2013. Freshmen Sydney Sawa scored 9.8 on vault vs. Utah and scored on floor at ASU, and senior Lichelle Wong has a pair of 9.9s on bars and a 9.85 on beam to her credit. Wong ranked No. 1 on bars in the first two national rankings.
Super Seniors Leading the Way
The Bruins' three redshirt seniors - Vanessa Zamarripa - are making the most of their final season of competition. Baer, who sat out the 2010 season and most of 2011 due to injuries, has competed in every meet in 2012 and 2013. This season, she has scored a career-high on vault with a 9.875 and is averaging 9.845 and has been a consistent leadoff performer on beam with a high of 9.8. Pritchett enjoyed a breakout year in 2012 after missing 2011 with a stress fracture in her ankle and came back even better in 2013, averaging 9.89 on floor with Top 3 finishes in every meet and a new career-high of 9.925 set Jan. 12 vs. Utah. Zamarripa sat out 2011 with a ruptured Achilles and came back in 2012 to score two perfect 10s on vault and enjoy a dominating all-around performance at the NCAA Super Six, scoring a career-high 39.775. Dominating doesn't even begin to describe Zamarripa's 2013 campaign thus far. She has captured 16 out of a possible 22 event titles this year and has won the Pac-12 Gymnast of the Week award four out of six weeks. She currently ranks in the Top 5 nationally on all events, including No. 1 in the all-around and on floor.
UCLA to Host 2013 NCAA Championships
UCLA will host the 2013 NCAA Championships in Pauley Pavilion on Apr. 19-21. This will be UCLA's fourth time hosting the NCAAs. The Bruins won the national title the last time they hosted in 2004, scoring an NCAA record 198.125.
UCLA also previously hosted in 1998 and 1984. Tickets for the Championships are on sale now at uclabruins.com/tickets.

Queen Elizabeth II's hubby, Prince Philip, is coming out on top after undergoing an emergency surgery for a blocked coronary artery Friday.
According to a statement from Buckingham Palace, the 90-year-old Duke of Edinburgh, was initially hospitalized at Papworth Hospital in Cambridge for "precautionary tests" but later underwent coronary stenting. He's reportedly doing well and is in "good spirits."
RELATED: Prince William and Kate Middleton Celebrate Prince Philip's Birthday!
Although Philip won't be able to join Kate Middleton, Prince William, Prince Harry and other members of the English royal family at their traditional Christmas retreat, Sandringham in Norfolk, the Queen and their children Prince Andrew, Princess Anne and Prince Edward brought some holiday cheer to the duke by visiting him in the hospital Saturday morning.
The duke is understandably "eager to leave," but is not expected to join the family for the holiday.
Despite Philip's absence, Buckingham Palace spokeswoman Ailsa Anderson says: "Sunday's church service is going ahead as planned and we don't anticipate changes to the Royal Family's Christmas celebrations."

Cat cautions against "Buy American"
Posted By Tom Jackson On February 6, 2009 @ 12:04 pm In Construction News | No Comments
If you still need any proof that the stimulus bill being debated now in congress is rash and ill-considered take a look at what some are saying about the "Buy American" provision in the bill. Caterpillar spokesman Jim Dugan cautions that such provisions could ignite an international trade war [1]that would be detrimental to every industrial economy. This is not mere speculation. Many economists blame the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act [2]of 1930, which imposed heavy tariffs on imported goods, for turning the 1929 stock market crash into the Great Depression. Smoot-Hawley, resulted in a 66 percent reduction in world trade.
Additionally, one might ask members of congress what they mean when say "Buy American," given that Honda, Hyundai and Mercedes Benz cars are made in Alabama, Volkswagen is building a plant in Tennessee, Toyota trucks roll off an assembly line in San Antonio and Sany (a Chinese equipment manufacturer) is setting up factories in Georgia…not to mention that Caterpillar, Cummins, Deere, Wirtgen, Volvo Construction Equipment, etc., etc., are thoroughly intenational. When Smoot-Hawley was enacted there were no trans-national corporations and if today's congress gets it's Mini-Me version of Smoot-Hawley II passed it could have drastically worse consequences. We doubt congress is ignorant of this history or these international relationships and can only assume they're throwing these provisions into the bill to curry favor with the unions and other special interest groups. Short term gain for them. Long term pain for everyone else.
The senate is said to have softened the Buy American provisions [3] somewhat. And President Obama has even asked that the provision be stricken from the bill–encouraging developments but also indicative that the whole stimulus bill is a hastily-concocted, politically-motived mess loaded with unknowns and legislative landmines that will continue to blow up in our faces for years to come.

The WHL Bantam Draft 2014 –if past years are any indication–will be held May 1st, 2014. This year's draft will be for 1999-born players. These are players who will just be completing their final year of bantam.
Bantam Draft 2014
Players selected in the WHL Bantam Draft 2014 will come from the following regions:
- British Columbia
- Alberta
- Saskatchewan
- Manitoba
- Northwest Territories
- Yukon
- Nunavut
Players can also come from the following American states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wyoming.
Players from outside, i.e. east, of these regions will fall into Ontario or Quebec league territory.
Historically, according to Junior Hockey Truth's WHL Bantam Draft page, the breakdown of WHL Bantam draft selections looks like this:
(Click link above to see your breakdown.)
American WHL draft picks are scattered amongst the states, but there has been a trend to choosing players from California, Minnesota, Texas and Colorado. However, this is mostly due sheer number of players per capita in those regions. It should be noted that there is a U.S. division in the Western League and that teams love to have good local talent to draw fans.
Players selected early in the Bantam Draft are often no-brainers. Players taken in later rounds are either projects, not viewed very much or potential flight risks for the NCAA. Sometimes this can lead to players being taken later than there talent indicates, especially if they are American players who haven't been viewed often.
Selection order for 2014 Bantam Draft:
Round 1
1 Saskatoon Blades (traded to Brandon Wheat Kings)
2 Lethbridge Hurricanes
3 Kamloops Blazers
4 Moose Jaw Warriors
5 Prince George Cougars
6 Red Deer Rebels
7 Tri-City Americans
8 Vancouver Giants
9 Prince Albert Raiders
10 Brandon Wheat Kings (traded to Saskatoon Blades traded to Vancouver Giants)
11 Kootenay Ice
12 Swift Current Broncos
13 Regina Pats
14 Spokane Chiefs
15 Everett Silvertips
16 Seattle Thunderbirds
17 Medicine Hat Tigers
18 Victoria Royals
19 Calgary Hitmen (traded to Portland Winterhawks)
20 Edmonton Oil Kings
21 Portland Winterhawks (forfeited)
22 Kelowna Rockets
Round 2
1 Lethbridge Hurricanes
2 Kamloops Blazers
3 Saskatoon Blades
4 Moose Jaw Warriors
5 Prince George Cougars
6 Tri-City Americans (traded to Lethbridge Hurricanes)
7 Vancouver Giants
8 Prince Albert Raiders (traded to Saskatoon Blades)
9 Red Deer Rebels
10 Brandon Wheat Kings
11 Kootenay Ice
12 Swift Current Broncos (traded to Saskatoon Blades)
13 Regina Pats
14 Spokane Chiefs
15 Everett Silvertips (traded to Portland Winterhawks traded to Red Deer Rebels)
16 Seattle Thunderbirds
17 Medicine Hat Tigers
18 Victoria Royals
19 Calgary Hitmen
20 Edmonton Oil Kings (traded to Vancouver Giants)
21 Portland Winterhawks (traded to Lethbridge Hurricanes)
22 Kelowna Rockets (traded to Vancouver Giants)
How to Get Selected
Players in the regions listed above do not have to apply for the WHL Bantam Draft 2014. By playing within the WHL's territory, a player falls within the scope of the WHL. In the past players have been selected from every level of bantam, Jr. B and even senior hockey. If you are good enough, you will be seen.
Players who get selected usually have the following on their hockey resumes:
- Play at the highest level of bantam possible in their province
- Have impressive stats
- Shine at major tournaments
- Play well at their provincial development tournament (B.C. Best, Sask. First, etc.)
It is also very common for players to talk to WHL Bantam Draft scouts before the actual draft takes place. This can happen in person or over the phone. Often, teams want to get an idea of the player's willingness to play, their character and also their maturity.

Make the negative your "masterpiece" and make straight prints. But that's me.
I'm speechless. Bruised my chin when it bounced off the floor.
All I can say is that I have a set of old filters which are labelled MGII filter set and they reflect exactly what the OP has found so even the older set of filters still had an increasing magenta look until grade 3 /3.5 after which the grades 4,4.5 and 5 look lighter and less magenta.
It might be that my higher grade filters have faded more but as they would have been used less, this seems unlikely.
I cannot give any reason why, unlike the colour head dual filtration, the filters don't get progressively more magenta but they don't

I'm a printer. 35 years on the press. It's all in the plate. Not much you can do once it's on the press--not a lot, anyway. Once you've finished the press run, you throw the plate on the scrap aluminum pile, and file the negative. Next time it comes up you pull the negative, burn a new plate and duplicate the last time you ran it. It kinda conditions you in your photographic hobby.
I'll back out of further hogging your thread MR74, as it was obviously meant for people of other techniques than mine. Still like that graded paper though--cuts out one variable.
The current Multigrade filters allow the same exposure times for grades 00 to 3.5, and then double the exposure time for grades 4 to 5. That is, I believe, the reason they are not simply yellow at the low end and magenta at the high end. Older filters like that can be used, but would give varying times for each grade. I inherited a set of Kodak Polycontrast filters like that. And I do believe the current multigrade filters are optimized for multigrade IV paper.

Tom, no need to back out. We all have different ways of doing it. In fact the thread has little to do with technique anyway. I'm just curious as to why the colours of the various filters are different in the current version of Multigrade versus the previous version which was a fairly continuous progression from yellow to magenta.
Perhaps I'll drop Mr. Galley a note.
Originally Posted by Michael R 1974
If I remember correctly not all that long ago Ilford Multigrade filters ranged in colour along a fairly continuous progression from yellow (#00) to a fairly dark magenta (#5). This is similar to most VC heads and Ilford still refers to yellow and magenta filtration in the current tech pub discussing contrast control with MG papers.
However the current generation of multigrade filters are not like this. They seem to be a perhaps more sophisticated set of colours. #00 looks orange. There is then the more or less expected progression to magenta through grade 3 1/2. Then a change in colour again at grade 4 onward, which seems (to the eye) to be less "magenta" than grade 3 1/2.
The only reference I can find in Ilford's online resources is a statement that the previous incarnation of the filters was never able to deliver as low a minimum contrast as the current version. Ilford also indicates the dyes may be less stable in the previous version although it is not entirely clear whether that is intended to mean old filters should be replaced, or if it means the newer versions actually have more stable dyes.
Did the current version coincide with the introduction of Multigrade IV? Does it have anything to do with three-emulsion paper vs older versions?
VC paper is sensitive in two bands, to yellow light for low contrast, and blue light for high contrast. So the question is really how much yellow and blue the filter passes, respectively. My own sets (I have two) are of the old type. How would you describe the colour of grade 4/5 on your new set? More yellow than grade 3.5? That would be strange. If it were somehow more blue, you'd have consider that your eyes and the paper do not have the same spectral response, so it is possible that those filters just have a narrower band pass around the blue frequency. But in all honesty, unless you look at the filter spectral transmission and compare it to the paper's spectral sensitivity, you would be guessing, like I am now.
VC paper is sensitive to blue and green, not yellow. I suspect the newest colours are optimized to somehow give the widest contrast range - but the paper is a relatively complex 3-layer emulsion with different sensitivities to blue and green (effectively a blend of different speeds).
I will ask Ilford about it.
Originally Posted by Michael R 1974

Yes, you are correct. Apology. But the principle is the same. The yellow filters pass green light but not blue. The magenta filters pass blue but not green. One has to be careful with colours. We see a blend of pure red and pure green light as yellow, but we also see pure yellow light as yellow. Our visual wiring is such that we cannot distinguish between the two ways of getting the same result, although a photographic paper might be a very different beast in that sense. Which is why I said one must have the spectral response of the paper at hand and compare with the transmission of the filters to see where they overlap. How the three-layer paper differs with respect to two-layer paper would be interesting. Maybe it allows them to make the low-contrast layer even lower contrast, while a mid-layer makes it a bit more controllable with a straighter, more gradual transition between grades - I don't know. What I do know, is that it works wonderfully, and saves my @$$ when I expose or develop carelessly, which happens more often than I would like to admit .
The three layers all have the same contrast. It is the difference in sensitivities to blue and green light that allow contrast control. Have a look at Ilford's tech pub for a good explanation:
I used to make the same mistake myself (as I suspect most people do) when explaining how VC papers work. Somewhere along the way (I don't remember how) we all got the notion VC paper worked by having a green-sensitive low contrast emulsion and a blue-sensitive high contrast emulsion. In fact this is not the case.

The online video advertising world has a new trade organization
Posted on Feb 24, 2014 by YuMe
As online video advertising continues to grow, a new trade organization has emerged at the forefront: the Global Online Video Association. The primary goal of this nonprofit organization – whose announcement came at the opening of Social Media Week – is to bring more marketing dollars to the digital video advertising medium.
GOVA is composed of nine multichannel networks that do business on YouTube: Big Frame, BroadbandTV, Collective Digital Studio, DECA, Discovery's Revision3, Fullscreen, Magnet Media, Maker Studios and MiTu Networks. Paul Kontonis, Collective Digital Studio's senior vice president of strategy and a respected voice in the online video advertising marketplace, will serve as GOVA's executive director.
"All these companies were formerly defined by just having a bunch of channels on YouTube," Kontonis told Adweek. "Now, they've all become major digital media companies … And they need a group like GOVA to protect their interests."
The online video advertising industry is not foreign to the idea of trade groups. The Interactive Advertising Bureau is a collection of more than 600 media and technology companies, which account for 86 percent of digital video advertising in the United States. The Online Publishers Association is made up of 54 well-known media brands involved in online advertising and media consumption research.
But Jason Krebs, who serves as sales chief at Maker Studios, tells Adweek that GOVA is a necessary group because, "the video world is just different."
"Everything from creation to consumption to how marketers should interact with users to the technology, it's different," added Krebs. "This is really about helping members to navigate the ecosystem. We felt it was the right time to make sure we are driving the industry forward."
GOVA will also look to extend its influence across multiple digital video platforms, including Amazon, Hulu and Xbox.

Chinese Solar Companies Thrive on Manufacturing Innovations
Page 2 of 2
In turn, the Chinese companies have used their manufacturing success to try to seed a next generation of technology. This year Suntech put into service production equipment for new high-efficiency solar cells. At full capacity, the equipment will be capable of producing about 2.5 million panels' worth of cells each year—enough to generate 500 megawatts of electricity. While commissioning the equipment, the company's researchers took the opportunity to learn more about the technology and about the subtle interplay between such factors as the level of doping in the silicon wafers and the technology used to apply thin films of material to their surfaces.
"It's very interesting doing experiments on a half-gigawatt facility," Wenham says. "Once you have something in manufacturing, it creates a good environment where you have very good control of things, and you're doing things in large numbers so that statistically, it's very powerful. You can see the impact of changes which you wouldn't be able to see if you're doing things in the lab as one-offs." As a result of these experiments, Suntech was able to make an already efficient design substantially more efficient.
Not all the manufacturing changes Chinese companies have made have improved the product—in some cases, cost reductions have produced products that don't last as long or perform as well as solar cells made elsewhere, says Travis Bradford, a solar industry analyst. But the Chinese companies also have other, nontechnical advantages that have allowed them to succeed. The government assures cheap financing for expanding production and has reduced red tape for permitting. Its policies are also more stable than those of many Western governments, which helps the companies plan ahead. And while labor may account for a small fraction of the cost of producing solar cells, cheap labor does significantly reduce the cost of building new plants.
Some of China's advantages, such as the price of currency, could be going away soon, Bradford says: "If the Western firms can survive until then, Chinese firms will find it uncomfortably competitive—a situation they are not familiar with." But it's not a situation they haven't anticipated. Even as Suntech increases production of its new high-efficiency solar cells, it is already working on production processes that could help increase efficiency by another 10 percent. Wenham is keeping most of the details secret—the one part he can talk about is something he likens to a "squirt gun" for removing impurities from the silicon wafer.
"It's simple yet effective," he says. That simplicity keeps down production costs, while the higher efficiency will allow cells to generate more power, lowering their cost per watt. If the company is successful, advances in manufacturing will once again make solar power cheaper.

It Came From The Desert
One of the biggest proponents of the Amiga as a multimedia machine was Cinemaware. Producing multi-disk interactive movies, they re-wrote the book on the limits of in-game graphics.
Cinemaware's games tended to be hugely cinematic, with loads of intros combined with a graphic adventure and loads of sub-games hidden within.
Inspired by the 50's movies (in this case – THEM!) you play the part of the town's local geologist who checks out a local meteor crash. Things rapidly go crazy and giant ants start appearing all over the place. In between the battles with the ants there are various sub-plots and you may find yourself in a knife-fight in the desert, playing chicken on the highway, making deals with a crazy old trapper, falling in love with a local girl, escaping from hospital and even spraying the ants from a plane! Eventually the army may arrive and then you can really take the fight to these creatures with jets and tanks. But you must get to the ant's nest and destroy the queen before midnight, June 15, which leaves you with two weeks to assemble the evidence, convince the mayor of the threat, deal with the local crazies and save the town!
Cinemaware's games were fully installable on the Amiga's hard drive (A590) and a good thing too, some of them reached five or six disks!
It Came from the Desert was also released on PC, PC-Engine-CD and a stripped-down travesty was released on Sega's Megadrive.
