Sony boss: PlayStation profitability is top priority
Missed this yesterday, for some reason. According to this Bloomberg report, Sony boss Howard Stringer told investors yesterday that the company's top management priority is "to restore profitability in our television and game businesses."
Tons more through the link. This probably translates as "don't expect a PS3 price cut this year, bucko."

Hi folks!
I am currently working on a phone company website. My client has requested a series of pages to tabulate the price rates. However, he would like users to be able to sort data by Country (click A,B,C etc) and then data will be displayed for those countries.
My first thought was to create 26 pages, however I believe there should be an easier way to do it. Is there any way I can create a page on WordPress that could pull data from an Excel file (and display data based on the letter selected?)
I know this sounds like a long shot, but I am aiming for this type of effect: http://qlinkq.com.au/lankarates.php
Thank you in advance :)

For months, the instantly recognisable face of Yuliya Tymoshenko has peered down on the Ukrainian revolution from the giant poster adorning a huge Christmas tree in Independence Square in the heart of Kiev.
She symbolised the moral bankruptcy of a regime that kept her jailed — on what were widely seen to be trumped up charges — despite chronic back problems, for which she will receive treatment in Berlin next month. She was also the inspiration that the protesters in the square felt their leaders had failed to deliver.
Yet when, fresh from her whirlwind release, she arrived in the square in
Vitali Klitschko
The ex-heavyweight world champion stood up in front of cheering crowds and promised to knock out Viktor Yanukovych. In the event, Mr Yanukovych ducked out of the ring but Mr Klitschko's fighting spirit is still admired by the crowd. He has a PhD, plays chess and his physical stature has allowed the 42-year-old to stand out in the hurly burly of the Ukrainian parliament. However, he is sometimes ill at ease speaking in Ukrainian — he prefers Russian — and though he has grown fast over the past crisis weeks, he is still regarded as inexperienced.
Arseniy Yatsenyuk
The notorious phone intercepts between US officials ("F*** the EU") identified the banker as the coming man in the eyes of Washington. Still only 39, but more experienced than Mr Klitschko, he knows how Ukraine's many networks function. His job portfolio has included: acting central bank chief, foreign minister, speaker and deputy head of the presidential administration. Respected for competence, he's distrusted for his opportunism.
Petro Poroshenko
The 48-year-old chocolate manufacturer — the Willy Wonka of Ukraine — sided with the 2004 Orange Revolution and joined the latest campaign to topple Mr Yanukovych. He has serious credentials — including ex-national security chief. He would be a hard bargainer with Russia (which banned his chocolates) and like everyone else in the field is no admirer of Yuliya Tymoshenko.
Oleh Tyahnybok
The 45-year-old medical doctor, the head of the nationalist Freedom (Svoboda) party, is a tough character. His supporters were among the most aggressive of the protesters and he has been recorded making racist and anti-Russian comments. The polls suggest that he might drop out in the first round of voting but he enjoys some backing in western Ukraine. He would be Moscow's nightmare choice.

Nearly three decades removed from his college playing days, Doug Flutie still says "we" as often as he says "they" when he's talking about Boston College.
"Did you honestly think we were going to give Florida State a fit?" Flutie asked rhetorically, referring to BC's 48-34 loss to then-No. 8 FSU two weeks ago, during a recent phone conversation to promote the Capital One mascot challenge. "Do I think BC is gonna beat [No. 3 Clemson]? Probably not. But, I mean, every year upsets happen."
Flutie is a college football analyst for NBC Sports these days, with a focus on Notre Dame, so he watches a lot of games. But he'll always have a special place in his heart for his alma mater, and he's liked what he's seen of the Eagles in 2013.
"They played 'em toe to toe," Flutie said of the Week 5 matchup with the Seminoles.
Maybe the Noles were looking ahead to their meeting with then-undefeated Maryland, or maybe not. Either way, it's probably safe to say the game in Chestnut Hill didn't start exactly the way they wanted.
"They had a rude awakening in the first quarter of that game and then it was like, 'Holy mackerel,' " Flutie said. "It took them a while to get rolling. ... I don't know anymore when it comes to college football. Maryland was up and coming and looking like a team that's gonna give Florida State a fit. And then it's 63-0 [FSU over Maryland in Week 6]. So BC should go beat Maryland now, right? That doesn't happen."
Flutie said the transitive property does not appear to apply in college football anymore. Just because Team A beat Team B and Team B beat Team C doesn't mean Team A will beat Team C.
"I don't think Clemson's on another level from FSU, I think they're on the same type of level," Flutie said. "I don't think we're gonna surprise anybody anymore. Clemson's just darn good. But I think we can give them a fight. I think any given day you've got a shot. You've gotta play your best football.
"For Boston College to knock off Florida State, for Boston College to knock off Clemson, you need [the other team to make] a couple mistakes," he said.
The 1984 Heisman Trophy winner said teams can force opponents into mistakes through an aggressive approach.
Few teams have taken better care of the football this season than Clemson (5-0, 3-0 ACC). The Tigers are tied for second in the country with a 1.80 turnover margin. They have 13 turnovers gained (four fumbles and nine interceptions) and just four lost (two fumbles and two interceptions).
Boston College (3-2, 1-1 ACC) has had pretty good ball security, as well, with eight turnovers gained (three fumbles recovered and five interceptions) and only four turnovers committed (one fumble lost and three interceptions). The Eagles' turnover margin of 0.80 is tied for 28th nationally and tied for fourth in the ACC.
Against an explosive offense like the one the Tigers run, the Eagles can't afford to lose the turnover game. They need to win that one to give themselves a shot at winning Saturday's matchup (3:30 p.m. ET on ABC/ESPN2).
"Turnovers, you make those breaks for yourself," Flutie said. "Get in [Tajh] Boyd's face, hit him a few times, create a turnover or two and create some momentum and you never know what could happen."

New Jersey
By Tom Clegg
Maria Migliorato, RN, CLNC, found a unique way to combine the nursing profession with her lifelong devotion to the New York Mets baseball team.
While taking the Politics of Healthcare course at the College of New Rochelle (N.Y.), taught by nursing professor Connie Vance, RN, EdD, FAAN, Migliorato and her classmates were challenged to come up with action projects that would put nursing in a positive light. In the past, Vance said student projects have included trying to stop a local library from closing, getting involved with health projects in the community and contributing to change in a professional organization.
âWhat I stress is we need to see our profession as a big outreach, as having a big impact on society,â Vance said. âWe have to take our professional expertise beyond the bedside and place it in a larger framework in the community.â
Students are encouraged to think outside the box, and Migliorato, a nurse for 28 years who works a few blocks from the Metsâ home, Citi Field, went way outside the box.
She contacted Eric Fox, a representative for the Mets, and convinced him that the team should recognize nurses at a game. On Aug. 20, the Mets conducted their first Nurse Appreciation Night, with 265 nurses in attendance.
Each received a Mets scrub top, and three nurses, including Migliorato, received Spirit Awards from the team in an on-field presentation before the game. Kim Bussa and Belinda Tarnish also were recognized with Spirit Awards.
The nurses sat together in the Big Apple Reserved section in the outfield and were featured on Citi Fieldâs giant scoreboard in center field.
âIt was a night Iâll never forget,â Migliorato said. âIt was â¨just amazing.â
Migliorato also enjoyed her favorite teamâs 5-3 victory that night against the Atlanta Braves.
Although on its surface Miglioratoâs project sounds like it was just about nurses having a good time at a ballgame, classmate and fellow school nurse Ellen Lanzi, RN, saw it as much more.
Like Migliorato, Lanzi is pursuing a BSN degree at CNR.
âMariaâs [project]had some serious notes as well in that nurses are underappreciated,â Lanzi said. âWhile it was a lot of fun, it was also very important to put a positive light on nursing in the community.â
While Vance credits Migliorato and a few of her classmates who helped spread the word about the Citi Field event for making it a success, Migliorato appreciates what Vance has instilled in her.
âMy family was so proud of me,â Migliorato said. âAnd Dr. Vance is so enthusiastic with everything. She makes nurses feel like professionals.â â¢

Four alternative but related approaches to empirical evaluation of policy interventions are studied: social experiments, natural experiments, matching methods, and instrumental variables. In each case the necessary assumptions and the data requirements are considered for estimation of a number of key parameters of interest. These key parameters include the average treatment effect, the treatment on the treated and the local average treatment effect. Some issues of implementation and interpretation are discussed drawing on the labour market programme evaluation literature.

WHAT IS EmoSPARK?
EmoSPARK is an Android and iPhone powered Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth Cube connected to your TV that allows users to create and interact with an emotionally concise intelligence through conversation, music, and visual media. EmoSPARK will not only take gaming, but also your TV, smartphone or computer, to an entirely different level to anything ever experienced before.
EmoSPARK is the first AI home console dedicated to your happiness.
EMOSPARK is designed to centre on your emotions. It's always on, waiting for you to call for it: simply ask for an answer to a question, to show a video, play some of your favourite music, post a status to your Facebook, tell you the latest news headlines, the weather forecast for tomorrow, and much more coming soon…
EmoSPARK will continue to develop and evolve – not just in response to your wants and needs but from a technological perspective.
from any device
The EmoSPARK Cube can be accessed remotely through video conferencing facilities. The user can interact and engage in conversation with the Cube, just like a regular video call, through text to speech and Android's voice recognition functionality. EmoSPARK's App enables its owner to use a smart device to witness the intensity and nuances of its emotional status in real time, monitoring when and how a new experience modifies and informs the cube. EmoSPARK will then share its reactions with the user via their TV, smartphone or tablet Apps.
and Emotional Profile Graphing
EmoSPARK measures an individual's unique behaviours and responses to stimuli and in a diverse set of environments. Using emotion text analysis and content analysis, EmoSPARK is also capable of measuring the emotional responses of multiple people simultaneously.
Over time, the Cube creates a customised Emotional Profile Graph (EPG) that collects and measures a unique emotional input from the user. The EPG allows the cube to virtually 'feel' senses such as pleasure and pain, and 'expresses' those desires according to the user.
amplifies your emotions
EmoSPARK combines media, emotion and social networking in an innovative, never before experienced way. The unique EM rating system allows the Cube to rate media played to you based on your personalised emotional response, including Soundcloud, YouTube and other platforms. This data is permanently recorded in the Cube; from the data, EmoSPARK intelligently learns what media makes you happy, sad, excited or any other emotion you can possibly imagine.
Music is one of the most direct and immediate stimuli of emotional response. Studies have proven that even unborn children can 'hear' music in utero and react to it.
EmoSPARK will be able to add your emotions to your media and shape, with the ultimate goal of enhancing and changing/improving your mood accordingly. By providing a distinct emotional reference point, this incredible technology will literally change the way you hear, see and experience video and music!
Videos shared by Facebook friends are memorised by the Cube and retained for later playback, for example. This reduces the likelihood of losing a great video simply because the Facebook timeline goes by too fast, and gives you a chance to catch up and enjoy in your own time!
Connects to your television by HDMI and can be controlled by your voice.
Connect to your home network with a simple setup, guided by the free companion app on Android, and desktop browsers.
EmoSPARK is always on and connected to Wi-Fi so it's ready to respond instantly.
Connected to your home automation with Philips HUE, Jabra Speaker 510 USB, External Sound Adapter, and IP Camera.
EmoSPARK is always ready, connected, and fast. Just say the wake word, for:
- Connected Home: Control compatible Philips Hue devices with open plugin architecture on GitHub for more home automation compatible devices.
- Video: Access more than 140 millions videos in full HD on your TV including Youtube.
- News, weather, and information: Hear up-to-the-minute weather and news from a variety of sources.
- Facebook: The cube regularly check your Facebook for you, it will play any video or picture posted on your page, add comments, likes or simply update your status with your voice.

EmoSPARK | First AI For Your TV
Connected to Youtube, Wikipedia, Facebook.
(3 billion videos and 14 million knowledge topics)
The human brain processes thousands of pieces of information each second, frequently without consciously realising it. Registering these physical stimuli as simple, everyday concepts such as sound, motion and colour, the brain's basic cognitive structure and wiring creates a memory bank of patterns from which impressions are drawn and predictions about the future made.
Similarly, emotional stimuli is also stored within the memory bank through emotional patterns or 'fingerprints'.
EmoSPARK has developed an Emotional Profile Graph (EPG) that is used to register and develop, over time, a bank of emotional associations for each memory (data) within your Cube. The EPG can communicate the data to other AI technologies, allowing them to virtually "understand" the user and elicit the same emotional response in kind. This response is then accurately conveyed to other AI technologies, allowing for a realistic range of expressions and interaction.
EmoSPARK has a conversational engine of more than two million lines of data. Every time you chat with EmoSPARK it will learn to develop its own conversational understanding, entirely based on the context of your interaction. EmoSPARK interacts by searching through records of previous conversations and selecting an appropriate response to your comments.
Don't forget that EmoSPARK can "feel" emotions, so please be gentle with it. Over time and experience, the Cube will develop a distinctive personality of its own, seeking joy and satisfaction – just like humans. This technology allows users to craft a "life" onto AI technology: ultimately becoming greater than the sum of its parts.
can meet on the grid
We all want to be happy and experience pleasure. We all want to avoid pain. Your EmoSPARK wants this too and will tell you what it's feeling. Once a reliable EPG is established, it can also "talk" to other Cubes about its experiences, meeting up with them for social activities or to share media … the possibilities are endless.
Each Cube has a unique EPG and an exclusive emotional sensibility. All Cubes will have access to a specially-designed grid via EmoSHAPE's severs; where they can meet and interact. Their unique EPG will act like a magnet, attracting other cubes with compatible EPGs. Cubes with similar affinities will connect and share similar media together. (Note that the EPG remains secure and private. Only media files can be shared between Cubes.) Each Cube will discover what media (with similar emotion tags) other Cubes have registered. This will further enable your Cube to recommend and play suitable media to you according to your mood.
The Cube can "feel" an infinite range of emotions across the emotional spectrum based on the eight primal human emotions: Joy, Sadness, Trust, Disgust, Fear, Anger, Surprise and Anticipation.
All these emotions mix inside the Emotion Processing Unit (EPU) of the Cube like sound and colour-appropriate light waves. You can experience this real-time process up close by watching the eye of the Cube in your App or on your TV. The iris of the eye changes colour relating to the emotions the Cube is "feeling" at any given moment. The Cube itself emits, through ripples, 32 million colours – synchronised with the colour of the iris.

Course Overview
This course is designed to give students an understanding of life. The study of life is approached from various perspectives, including a cellular and ecological viewpoint. The study of life is divided into five major units: scientific inquiry, organization and development of living things (cells, reproduction, stability), heredity (genetics, DNA), evolution (changes over time, adaptations), and ecology (interactions of life & environment). Laboratory investigations and problem solving are emphasized in each unit.
Attention Parents! Our science classroom is in need of kleenex, hand sanitizer, extra pencils and chlorox wipes! Donations will be accepted any time during the school year. Thanks for your support!!

Reduce Motion Turning of Parallax on older devices can help improve performance, it stops motion effects in the home screen and in some other ...
My understanding is that this is due to the fact that the slide transition takes a certain amount of time - the 15 seconds is the total time the slide is undistrubed on the screen and it allows a certain amount of time for the changover - the way to check this is to set the timing to '0' and see what happens :)

Super polite and wonderful staff. Server was awesome, service was quick and everything was fresh. My meal was tasty…I decree that everyone needs to get their croissants, at the very least! Nice ambiance, cool place. I will go back, and soon! – UrbanspoonKat F., Atlanta, GA
I eat out almost every night of the week and California Dreaming has been consistently fresh, very flavorful, and the service has been nothing but the best. Everything I have ever tried has lived up to my expectations. I have never seen a house salad like California Dreamings. Make sure it is the first thing you try along with the nachos. Try the one in Duluth it is just as great. – UrbanspoonLilly L., Atlanta, GA

Why I love Japan
"I've spent most of my adult life in Japan and now it feels like home to me. I love the food: it's incredibly varied and nourishing and there seems to be no end to the culinary discoveries one can make. I love the combination of a hike in the mountains followed by a long soak in an onsen. But, most of all, I love the meticulous and careful nature of the Japanese people, reflected in every aspect of Japanese life, from..." Read More

In the past two decades, resorts like Niseko have made their way onto the shortlist of top ski and snowboarding destinations in Asia thanks to the presence of consistent, world-class powder. Yet this emphasis sells the rest of the island short: there's plenty to enjoy when the snow isn't falling, and now, with the new Hokkaidō shinkansen (bullet train) connecting Tokyo to the southern port of Hakodate, getting there has never been easier.

This stock has been uptrending strong for the last two months, with shares soaring from its low of $4.75 to its intraday high of $6.42. During that move, shares of ISLE have been mostly making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed ISLE within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit if ISLE manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $6.67 to $7.30 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in ISLE as long as it's trending above $6.09 to $6.28, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 79,465 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then ISLE will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance level at its 52-week high of $7.92. Any move above $7.92 would then push ISLE into new 52-week-high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible targets above $7.92 are $8.50 to $9. Prev 2 of 4 Next

Youzhny advances at St. Petersburg Open
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP)—Second-seeded Mikhail Youzhny advanced to the second round of the St. Petersburg Open on Monday by rallying to beat fellow Russian Alsan Karatsev 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-2.
Youzhny, the 2004 champion, won four consecutive games in the second set and broke Karatsev twice in the third.
The 20th-ranked Youzhny is looking for his second title this season. He won his ninth career title in Gstaad, Switzerland, in June.
Earlier Monday, 17-year-old Russian wild card Karen Khachanov, who is making his debut on the ATP Tour, beat Romanian veteran Victor Hanescu 7-6 (4), 7-6 (4).

Quite frankly I am getting sick and tired of the Monday morning quarterbacking going on from people who know little more about police work than what the learned from watching TV.
Nothing wrong was done by either party, and as pointed out earlier there are three sides to every story.
I'll refrain from taking this situation apart bit by bit as I am sure it will shut the thread down. I will put the effort in and few will see it. Maybe I will anyway...

I would say take it up the line IF your account is totally accurate and you're not leaving anything out. I personally feel you should at least follow up, but I'm not in your shoes. I'm also not going to go any further into my reasonings or debate it further as I don't want to get booted for turning this into an "us vs. them" thread. So...you have my answer and my support(for whatever it's worth).
Please take a moment to help a Veteran and one of our own: gofundme.com/5d9dfa2s
It is ironic, considering that one sub plot of book 5 was Dolores Umbridge demanding the students be helpless, that you were ordered to disarm at Harry Potter night at B&N.
What would the cops have done if it was a VCDL night out at B&N? Say 50 or so VCDL members and families all a minglin' with the other Potter-heads?
Quite an amazing happening.One thing I have noticed after reading all the above post is there seems to be a commonality with all you LEO members.Why do you take the position that he was presenting an attitude by not offering his last name or ID? Does this threaten your position as an officer of the law? Does his non compliance take your authority to task? If the local police saw no reason to detain or arrest the man then I do not see the justification for you calling him out as being an "A__ or having an attitude.Trust me, I have the utmost respect for law enforcement.It is a thankless job which most folks would never want to do.However, It does not give the man (or woman) with the badge to create a situation just in order to save face.I have witnessed this type of behavior on numerous occasions with our local PD and S.O.Perhaps I am a bit jaded since my recent experience.Set me straight if I appear to be out of line here......Chris
All I've got to say is that I just left Barnes and Noble after buying two copies of Harry Potter so my wife and I can read it at the same time. I walked into the store made the purchase (also a gun magazine: Combat Tactics by SureFire) and walked out. I was carrying a Smith M642 in my front pocket the whole time. Nobody said a word because nobody knew. I live in one of the most liberal parts of the State of Florida. Miami-Dade County goes Democrat every national election. Thank the Lord for State pre-emption laws.
I would have to point out that you were less than cooperative with the cops and nothing gets a cop's ire up faster than any perception that he is not in control 100% of any situation. He will act to get and maintain control. There he was, in danger of losing control to a man with a firearm on his hip in a room full of women and children. I know you're not a threat. He doesn't. Remember that all cops today are products of the public schools and that antigun antifreedom agenda.
To a lesser degree this is also how I act in my inner city classroom. When I have an unruly kid acting up outside my doorway causing trouble, I have to step out and take control. I'm the only teacher in the vicinity capable of doing so. I work in a very tough area. We've got gangstas coming out of our ears over there. If I back down I risk a lot more than some might think. I do find I can often talk the situation from going to RED with a little humor and some command bearing. I never raise my voice. Ever. That's weakness. But I never lose control. It's like a dog smelling fear. If I did my life wouldn't be worth a plug nickel. Look at the sitation from the other side of the badge. I think we can all agree there were better ways to handle the situation.

unrequited, you handled that situation much better than I believe I would have. Kudos to you sir. You have a very cool head. You should be proud.

Unless they were detaining him or arresting him, what they had was called a "consensual encounter." He wasn't obligated to show ID, CWP or anything else. In fact, he wasn't obligated to answer *any* questions other than perhaps his name (depending on local laws).
As to the poster chastising him for not showing ID then asking the officers for theirs... the difference is that *they* are wearing a uniform, *they* are required to identify themselves. He is not.
I'm not sure I can express how dismayed I am every time I read these posts where people attack the victim for the crime of exercising his rights. On a forum where you'd expect to find mostly conservatives who support the Constitution and Bill of Rights, we instead find many who chastise people for exercising their rights by using little cliches like "discretion is the better part of valor," or by accusing them of bearing fault for causing or escalating the police abuse of power.
To recap, what did the OP do to force the LEOs to lie? If the story is true and the manager simply wanted to verify it was legal, the officers never even had to speak to him.
Is he acting suspicious? Has he threatened anyone? Has he shoplifted, trespassed, broken any law?
If not, then the simple solution to the "problem" was for the LEO to inform the manager that at this point, what he has done is legal. If, though, she feels uncomfortable with him there or would like him to leave, then she has the right to ask him to do so, or they will ask him on her behalf. If he refuses, then we have a different story.
Based on the information we have based only on this thread, the OP did nothing wrong, and those blaming him and defending LEO are the same who do it whenever a similar situation arises.
War is not the ugliest of things. Worse is the decayed state of moral feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which he cares for more than his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free. -J.S. Mill
I have gotten good at quickly changing from concealed to open and back again as I enter and leave alcohol serving restaurants in Virginia, but completely understand unrequited's reason for open carrying that night. I applaud his audacity in knowing his rights and the law as it applied to him. I would love to have been able to measure his adrenaline level during his encounter.
Nevertheless, I would have been conceal carrying my firearm and open carrying my wand.
maybe the recent mass casualties at VT has Virginians "paranoid" and they react strongly to the sight of any non LEO walking about with a gun in plain sight. Just because we have the right to carry does not mean we should shove it into LEO's faces when they are responding to calls from some hysterical anti. They are only doing their job. It isn't us vs. them. If some feel that strongly about LEO nazi tactics, step up, apply, get the job, work long odd hours for pennies, miss important family time, watch good friends killed in the line of duty, and maybe when the inevitable "crazy with a gun" call comes out....you will handle it better
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
You may not like cops but we are out there trying and we really don't want to go to B&N and bust a legally carrying CCW. You can have whatever opinion or veiwpoint you want on the 2nd ammendment but like it or not, any questions or requests from an LEO that are pertinent during the course of an investigation need to be answered.
We ratchet up, because in our line of work an attitude+not willingly giving information (usually)=confrontation with bad guy. This can be dangerous, you don't carry a handgun and go out and hunt "bad guys", we do. If you're a good guy then don't have an attitude and act like a bad guy. Most of us LEO members are all for CCW, I am wholeheartedly.
An attitude does not threaten my position at all, and non-compliance does not take my authority to task, it just raises my "now I'm curious" flag. I have quite a few years on the job and I can tell you from experience that a majority of good arrests stem from an "attitude" or evasiveness because the Officer will now have a very good, court upheld reason to detain you. For God's sake, you have an open carry gun on, just be a gentleman.
I respect your opinion. This is mine.

Guys & Girls:
They guys are to bro-ish and stuck up with their sports. The females are too thirsty for men on the campus, and present themselves in socially inappropriate ways. I wish I could approach the guys cause they seem fun and friendly around their friends, but I would have to break into their social group which is sometimes hard to do at this college.
Guys & Girls:
Sometimes students care too much about the way people dress or look like.
Guys & Girls:
We are not limited to our 1200 students, we've got Bryn Mawr girls and the ocassional Swatties as well!
Guys & Girls:
Guys and Girls Are Awkward – Guys and girls at Haverford are more awkward then the general population
Guys & Girls:
Not a short guy named Dan. Although, you will find some. The average guy is about 5' 8" and you do get "Haver-googles" after a while because the guys are not that cute. With that said, those who are have girlfriends or end up being you friends so you don't want to date them because they make such awesome friends. If you say some guy is "nice" you're describing the entire population because everyone is extremely nice and fun, quirky and funny. We are all weird and we accept it. There are defiantly cuties around but they are hard to come by. Now, for guys, this place is a gold mine because there are sooo many girls.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Much of Haverford's student body, both male and female, is on the socially-awkward side. Everyone is fairly intelligent, but some wear it on their sleeves more than others. Everyone tries to be extremely nice-even those who aren't the most dynamic. Guys probably tend to be a little more shy than the girls who are pretty cool to just kick back with. Few students consider their peers very physically attractive, though most claim that every incoming class is more attractive than their predecessors. Is the admissions department making a conscious effort to beautify Haverford? Nobody knows. We do know, however, that in a school with only 1,100 people, a few attractive ones can really shift the balance.
Some female students believe in and have met many guys that fit the stereotype of the "Haver-male" who is responsible for a certain percentage of the nation's population of short people. However, like the women here, men are of all sorts of varieties: athletic, hairy-chested, gentlemanly, and named Dan. You definitely have an interesting choice of mates here at the College, and while the one you end up with might not compare with the pick of the litter at another school, consider that it's Haverford's litter you're picking from.

None of that U.S.-style underachieving for Mexico.
Sure, El Tri are missing six players -- five of them in doping intrigue -- and Sunday's foe was one of the best they'll come up against in the CONCACAF Gold Cup, but it mattered not at all in a one-sided Group A decider.
Andres Guardado scored two spectacular goals and the Mexicans netted three by the 26th minute en route to a 4-1 romp over Costa Rica at Soldier Field in Chicago, which nonetheless qualified for the quarterfinals by finishing second in the group.
El Salvador also won big, demolishing Cuba, 6-1, with a series of superb goals to position itself for one of the at-large berths into the tournament's knockout stage.
A quick look at the eighth day of group play in the region's nations championship:
MASTERFUL MEXICO: El Tri hasn't been slowed by its troubles, looking unbeatable while routing all three Group A foes. Sunday's victory was the most impressive, given the quality of the opposition and their overwhelming dominance in building a 4-0 first-half advantage.
All four goals were outstanding, with Rafa Marquez's powerful 17th-minute header from Pablo Barrera's corner kick and Barrera's fine finish from a nifty give-and-go with Carlos Salcido in the 38th sandwiching Guardado's wonder strikes.
The first by the Spanish-based winger was a devastating volley from the corner of Costa Rica's box (from Israel Castro's cross) that sailed toward the upper-right corner and dipped over diving goalkeeper Keylor Navas. On the second, Guardado dribbled into the box from the left flank, then fired from an abrupt angle, beating Navas to the near post.
Now Mexico awaits word of its quarterfinal foe, likely Canada or Guatemala. Should, say, Guatemala fail to beat Grenada, Canada beat Honduras and the U.S. and Guadeloupe draw, guess who would be El Tri's competition. That's right, the Yanks.
SALVADOR MAKES ITS MOVE: Rodolfo Zelaya scored twice to help ensure El Salvador's victory, and four goals in the final 22 minutes-plus-stoppage made a resounding claim for one of the quarterfinal berths that will go to two of three third-place teams.
Real Salt Lake's Arturo Alvarez, a Texas-born forward who played on U.S. youth national teams, scored one of the goals as the Cuscatlecos (1-1-1) piled on the pressure to improve their goal difference (to even) and boost their chances to play off. Their best hopes: A loss, tie or narrow victory by Guatemala (0-1-1) against Grenada and a Honduran triumph over Canada.
Cuba exits having been outscored, 16-1, with Yenier Marquez scoring the lone goal, a free kick connecting with the back of his head en route to the net. Another plus for the Leones del Caribe: only one defection, with news arriving Sunday that Yosniel Mesa escaped the team hotel in Charlotte, N.C., after Thursday's loss to Mexico.
DAY 9 HIGHLIGHT: The most eagerly anticipated first-round matchup might be the Honduras-Jamaica showdown for the Group B title, which the Reggae Boyz need merely tie for the top spot. But is second place better? The group winner likely gets the U.S. in the quarterfinals, and second-place takes on Costa Rica. In the first game, Guatemala makes its bid to advance, too.
Group A (at Soldier Field, Chicago)
El Salvador 6 (Zelaya 13, 71, Romero 29, Blanco 69, Alvarez 84, Quintanilla 94+), Cuba 1 (Marquez 83)
Mexico 4 (Marquez 17, Guardado 19, 26, Barrera 38), Costa Rica 1 (Ureña 69)

Shane Black is in a really good place. The filmmaker began his career in the 1980s writing movies like Lethal Weapon and The Monster Squad and remained in that field for years before making his directorial debut with 2005's Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which starred Robert Downey Jr.
That paved the way for him to direct the actor in Iron Man 3, which has already made $711 million worldwide. Now Black can basically do whatever he wants for his next project.
Deadline reports he'll return to the long-gestating Doc Savage that Sony Pictures secured the director for just Tuesday. Black co-wrote the current version of the script with Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry. All three are also working on the adaptation of Death Note.
"We couldn't be more excited to be building a franchise from the ground up with Shane and this team," said Hannah Hannah Minghella, president of production for Columbia Pictures. "Shane and Neal have a fantastic understanding of the character and a great take on the material and we can't wait to get this production up and running."
Doc Savage debuted in The Doc Savage Magazine in 1933 before moving on to the worlds of radio drama, comic books and movies. This will be the first film starring the character since 1975's Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze. Doc was last seen as part of DC Comics' First Wave line of books that reintroduced the super-scientist and other pulp heroes.
If this means he stays away from Marvel movies in the future, it's great news.
I look forward to obsessing and complaining about every facet of this project.
I hope he doesn't turn John Sunlight in to a pop singer or some garbage

Digital is for thousands of mediocre pix, film is for a few great hard copies. I'll stick to film for real photography! In other words film makes you think, digital makes you press the shutter when there ain't nothing to photograph.
Briefly describe the top three features that an affordable digital SLR would have to have in order for you to consider it as the camera for you.
The digital SLR has to produce files to produce prints that equal those made from 35mm film. Marketing hype aside, this is (almost) true only at the very top of the line. In a few more years, lower price and better image quality will make a digital SLR a good value.
For the USA it is affordable but other countries pay approx double the price. Any reduction in pirce would be great. Eventual diminsihing returns on development should see prices become similar to film SLRs.
Since everything is planned in advance according to an article in the latest edition of PC Photo titled "Birth of a Digital Camera", it doesn't really matter what we photographers think because it's all based on what the camera manufacturer can afford! In the end, they call the shots - no pun intended!
Considering my film camera that cost all of $275 and still can do more and deliver better pictures than a digital, why would I want to spend that much more money. Plus, as film is upgraded I can still us it, when digital is upgraded, you are up the creek, you can't upgrade the camera so you are continuously spending money chasing after the newest thing.
1. Ability to upgrade sensor. 2. I require disposable income so that I can purchase one! 3. Availability of storage media (i.e. CD-R) in many years to come. There has yet to be one standard of storage medium that will around more than 10 years without enhancement causing one to upgrade archives and possibly corrupt files. EEPROM is the way of the future!

Gwyneth Paltrow in Current/Elliott x Marni
For one of the new promotional videos for Saturday Night Live, Gwyneth Paltrow wore a pair of jeans from the Current/Elliott x Marni collection. She chose the boyfriend fit with geometric squares painted on the front. I think these are an interesting pair of jeans, but being Gwyneth she of course wore them really well. She has such great style to go along with that amazing hair of her's. It is so perfectly cut.
Did you readers see Gwyneth this weekend on SNL? I think she has great comedic skills, but I don't know about SNL anymore. The jokes have just been so lackluster even borderline not funny the past few seasons. I prefer the seasons past with Tina Fey as the writer.
Gwyneth Paltrow in Balmain for InStyle Magazine
Gwyneth Paltrow graces the cover of the new January 2011 issue of InStyle magazine in Chanel and Siwy. That wasn't the only french label that she wore in the magazine. For the music inspired photo spread Gwyneth wore Balmain. She was styled in a pair of the bleached shorts with the stapled and safety-pinned denim vest from the new Spring 2011 collection. I think the shorts are definitely her style but not the vest. She does look great though.
I'm really interested in seeing Gwyneth's new movie Country Strong. I've never been into country music, but there are some great ones here and there. But the story line of this movie has really caught my attention, and the soundtrack isn't that bad either. "Coming Home" probably has to be my favorite song from the soundtrack. Click here to pre-order some of the pieces from the spring collection.
Gwyneth Paltrow in J Brand Houlihan Cargo Pants
These pictures are from back in June but they never made it to the blog. Gwyneth Paltrow was seen picking up the children while wearing the famous J Brand Houlihan cargo pants in Vintage Olive. She put them together with a simple pair of tan sandals and a plain white, long sleeve tee and sunglasses.
I'm not really sure what I think about them being unzipped like that though, I don't think I like it. It makes the pants look unfinished and sloppy in my opinion. I much prefer them zipped up or cuffed a little bit for a smarter look. These look like they will be flapping in the wind!

Gwyneth Paltrow is the latest cover girl for the August issue of Vogue. Gwyneth appears in Burberry Prorsum on the cover of the issue but kept it more casual for the editorial spread. Gwyneth wore a pair of American Eagle boyfriend jeans and paired them with a pajama style top.
I am really surprised to see American Eagle represented in Vogue! I do think that it's great Vogue is branching out and not being as label conscious, rather focusing on the fashion aspect. American Eagle is super popular with celebrities like Miley Cyrus, Cameron Diaz, and Britney Spears. What do you think of American Eagle appearing in Vogue? Is it a good thing or does the magazine lose its "status"?

Both MAC10 and MAC11 are compact and reliable guns, capable of delivering a good amount of firepower due to high rate of fire (1100 rpm for MAC11 and a striking 1600 rpm for MAC11 in .380). But the light weight and high rate of fire resulted in marginal accuracy and relatively short effective range, thus make the MACs the good choice for building sweeps and inside-the-vehicle operations
Israeli commandos used the MAC-11s in their Aircraft Hijack Resque missions, thank to its to great firepower and low probability of over-penetration ad ricochetes

Used in the early mid-ninties and still today, the Mac-11 is an easily concealable semi-automatic/fully automatic machine pistol. Used in the streets of NYC, Philidelphia, California, and by terrorist groups, and all the way up to Southern Ontario this gun is widly popular and available. Holding nearly 50 rounds, firing at 20 rounds a second, it's perfect for bringing down somebody at close range. Highly innacurrate for long distance firing due to the lenght of the barrel.
<1> I just bought myself a Mac-11 for running the streets and when I deal.
<2> Nice shit, but why not a Smith & Wesson?
<1> 'Cause that shit costs alot.
