I wrote earlier this week of Netflix's realization that it has to be HBO not Blockbuster as I had predicted a couple of years ago.
Amazon, as we know has bundled streaming into its Prime shipping fee. As I wrote a couple of years ago, when discussing Netflix's issues with just straight streaming of existing content:
Perhaps most importantly, on the streaming side, Google, Amazon, Apple, Dish/Blockbuster among others, are in the market. They have other ways to make market from streaming. For example, Amazon can bundle the price into its Amazon prime delivery fee. Google will find a way to monetize its content through its core business of ads. Apple obviously makes huge profits by selling high-margin hardware like iPads. These other companies also have other carrots and sticks to play with the studios because of their other businesses than Netflix has.
On its website now, Amazon announces it has signed an exclusive to stream Downton Abbey.
Jeff Bezos writes a note about how streaming plays into the other businesses, including in driving digital sales and making Prime a better value.
Dear Customers,
Good news for Prime members. We've just completed a deal with PBS to make Prime Instant Video the exclusive subscription home for streaming Downton Abbey's Season 3 starting in June, and all new seasons for years to come. Prior Seasons 1 and 2, already the most popular TV seasons on Prime Instant Video, are available now for catch up viewing—and will also become exclusive to Prime Instant Video later this year.
If you can't wait until June for Season 3, you can also buy each episode at Amazon Instant Video the day after it airs. And starting now, we're also making the last three weeks of this season's episodes available to purchase before they air on TV in the US. When you buy a TV Pass to Downton Abbey's Season 3, or if you already have one, you will receive all remaining episodes instantly.
Amazon Prime continues to be an unusual value at just $79/year, and includes unlimited streaming of over 35,000 movies and TV episodes, Free Two-Day Shipping, and a free Kindle book to borrow every month from the Kindle Owners' Lending Library. Learn more about Amazon Prime and get to know the Crawleys of Downton today.
Thanks for being a customer,

Oberlin Shansi Open House! May 21st, 1:30 – 3:30 PM
Swing by Shansi House on Saturday, May 21st from 1:30 to 4:30 PM to meet the Shansi family for light snacks and refreshments!
Elaine Vukov was hired as the new Oberlin Shansi Assistant Director, effective July 1, 2013. She brings to the position a background in international education and cross-cultural exchange, experience living and working abroad in Asia and elsewhere, and demonstrated program management and organizational development skills.
Elaine is joining Shansi after completing a two-year period of service in the Peace Corps in Azerbaijan, where she served as a Community Economic Development Specialist. In this role, her responsibilities included working on curriculum development and teacher training for a local vocational training school, and preparing grant proposals to international foundations. Her experiences as a Peace Corps Volunteer give her a fresh perspective on the kinds of challenges our Shansi Fellows face in the field. Regarding her Peace Corps service, Elaine said, "It was highly instructive for me to live in a society that has a very different social organization from my own. Even though I have extensive experience abroad, I think I developed more empathy for people in difficult political and social situations, and was grateful for all of the patience Azerbaijani people showed toward me while I learned about their country. I think my greatest influence in Azerbaijan was as an example of what all women in the world should be able to achieve: a good education; an independent professional life; and freedom to do and think as I see fit. I spent a lot of time just talking to young men and women about their responsibilities and dreams for the future."
Before volunteering for the Peace Corps, Elaine worked as the Executive Director of International Programs at Hofstra Law School in New York and as the Director of Summer/Winter Programs and Study Abroad at Marymount Manhattan College. Prior to joining Marymount Manhattan College, Elaine spent a decade at the Japan Society in New York, serving as the Director of the Education Department, and before that was the Administrative Director of the Institute for Education on Japan at Earlham College. She has extensive experience designing outreach efforts, developing orientation programs and managing student and faculty exchange programs. On being an administrator, Elaine commented, "I believe a good administrator sets the stage so other people will have opportunities to learn and grow through well-organized programs. When I was a kid growing up in Chicago I received a scholarship for drawing classes at the Art Institute. I loved that class and, in my mind, I still thank the unnamed museum administrators who organized that project for me and other little kids."
Elaine received her M.A. in Asian/Japanese Studies at the University of Michigan, and her B.A. in History and Psychology at the University of Illinois. She is widely traveled and has a passion for Japanese handmade crafts, especially papermaking. Elaine observed, "Being an apprentice to a papermaker in Japan for a year gave me a window into many aspects of Japanese society. Papermakers are attuned to nature; work long, arduous hours; and need the help of their families to succeed. It's quite a privilege to be accepted into a relatively closed part of another culture. "
Elaine's comment on her appointment, "I am honored at being selected to become a member of Oberlin Shansi. Its long and distinguished history is an inspiration to me. I am looking forward to working with Oberlin students, professors and administrators and to carry on the tradition of strengthening personal and institutional ties between the United States and Asia. "
Swing by Shansi House on Saturday, May 21st from 1:30 to 4:30 PM to meet the Shansi family for light snacks and refreshments!
Shansi open house will feature Indonesian music, language, and food! Celebrate on April 21st, 4:30 PM at Shansi House!

Frisco Child with Arthritis Leads School Read-a-thon for Arthritis Foundation
Efforts Support Her Team at the Dallas Arthritis Walk May 18
Thanks to 11-year-old Claire Brenner, and her classmates at Frisco Montessori Academy, the youngster led a school read-a-thon and raised more than $4,000 for the Arthritis Foundation. Claire, who was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis at age 6, is not only generating funds for the Arthritis Foundation, but also drumming up support for her team that will participate in the upcoming 2013 Dallas Arthritis Walk, Saturday, May 18 at 12700 Park Central. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m.; followed by the Walk at 10:00 a.m. For more info visit: www.dallasarthritiswalk.org.
Claire is among more than 300,000 children nationwide who suffer from Juvenile Arthritis and supporting the Dallas Arthritis Walk is one way she and her family engage their community for this worthy cause. The Dallas Arthritis Walk is Arthritis Foundation's annual event that raises awareness and funds to fight arthritis and it draws significant participation from the Collin County area every year.
Claire hosted an ice cream social at her school to thank all of her supporters for their contributions to her efforts on behalf of the Arthritis Foundation. The Arthritis Foundation is working to improve the lives of the 3.9 million adults and 25,000 children, like Claire, across Texas who struggle every day with this serious health epidemic. To help reduce the unacceptable pain, disability and other burdens of arthritis and related diseases, the Arthritis Foundation offers information, events, research grants, advocacy activities and other vital programs and services.
The local Walk unites the North Texas community to put an end to arthritis and support those who live with arthritis pain every minute of every day. It also features family festivities, food, entertainment, a pet-friendly environment and loads of fun! Learn more about the Dallas Arthritis Walk or how to make a contribution to Claire's Walk Team at www.dallasarthritiswalk.org.

If Meg Whitman's gubernatorial campaign keeps burning greenbacks at the rate it has since the first of the year, her war chest will be empty shortly after noon on Thursday, the first of April.
No April Fools.
So the political speculation on Monday centered on when the billionaire would write her next big check and just how huge it will be.
Whitman has already donated $39 million to her campaign — a California political record for self-funding. But a radio and TV ad campaign that picked up steam in February led to her spending $27.2 million in the first 11 weeks of the year — an average of $358,439 a day.
As of March 17, when campaign finance reports were last filed, she had $4.5 million in her campaign kitty, enough for 121/2 days.
So far, the campaign's been mum as to when the former eBay CEO will make another deposit. But it was obvious Monday that the depleted coffers would have no effect on Whitman's carpet-bombing of California's airwaves.
"Our campaign will have all the resources it needs to run a smart, strategic campaign,'' said Sarah Pompei, Whitman's spokeswoman, noting that the campaign began running a new TV ad over the weekend.
The 30-second spot features Whitman drawing a comparison between running a business and running a state government.
"Government will never be a business,'' Whitman says in the ad. "It shouldn't be a business. But it does need a dose of how do we do more for less.''
Jarrod Agen, a spokesman for Whitman's GOP opponent, state Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner, said he expected Whitman to spend another $50 million before the June 8 primary.
Never, Agen said, "has so much money been spent to say so little.''
Poizner, a former Silicon Valley entrepreneur who has written checks for $19.2 million to his campaign, has more than $14 million left in his coffers.
Down about 50 points in the polls, Poizner of late has been directing much of his message to the right wing of his party by calling for a renewed crackdown on illegal immigration.
"He's betting that a low-turnout election will mean that only the most enthusiastic part of the base will turn out,'' said Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, a political analyst at the University of Southern California.

We Know What to Blame : Golf
In March, the South Korean government devised plans to save energy as oil prices spiked over $100 per barrel amid political instability in the Middle East. One compulsory measure was a countrywide ban on nighttime outdoor lighting at golf courses.
Now the country's 382 golf clubs are getting impatient after what was supposed to be a short-term energy-saving plan has continued for more than three months.
Last week, the Korea Golf Course Business Association sent the minister of knowledge economy—who overseas energy policies—a letter complaining that courses face an outright lighting ban while other businesses, including bars and clubs, are subject only to a partial ban after 2 a.m.
In the letter, which was posted on the association's website, it argues the plan does more harm than good to the national economy by inflicting unemployment and revenue loss that could lead to sluggish domestic consumption and reduced income taxes. When combined, the financial damage wrought by the nighttime golf ban will outweigh the estimated annual energy savings of 12.8 billion won ($11.9 million), the letter says.
While South Korea is home to some of the world's top-ranked golf players, the sport is still largely considered a luxurious pastime played only by the well-off. And it often becomes an easy target: Banning golf has been a sure way for the government to save face by making it appear something has been done.
As recently as Monday, Land Minister Kwon Do-yeop ordered all officials within the ministry as a disciplinary measure not to play golf after a few officials were found to be receiving bribes and being illegally entertained by young, female hosteses in 'room salons.' It is not known, however, if any bribery actually took place at golf courses.
"Don't play golf. Please restrain from binge drinking or a second round of drinking. And no more free lunch," the minister said, adding, "Looking through the prism of a 'fair society,' what was considered ordinary practice in the past is now problematic."
Lee Jong-kwan, a spokesman for the golf association, told the Journal today that he feels frustrated over what he believes is unfair treatment to the sport.
"We are not living in the 12th century here. How can the government order people not to play a sport? It doesn't make sense," Mr. Lee said.

Why Can't Companies Just Turn Off the Lights Already?
If you could get Americans to change one thing in their energy consumption, what would it be?
ARIEL COHEN: Americans generally consume more energy than people in other countries. So they can voluntarily not waste energy that they do not need. The areas for improvement are lighting, air conditioning and building energy efficiency and insulation. As the market allows more telecommuting and online shopping, gasoline consumption is also falling.
We should simply remember to switch our lights off when we do not need them. This applies to both federal, state and local governments, private firms and households. Many U.S. firms do not care about switching their lights off after the close of business. People leave the lights shining the whole night! Installing occupancy sensors and motion-activated light switches in firms would prevent the lights from being on all night–if it is economically justified, of course.
Similarly, some experts argue that over-use of air conditioning leads to wasting energy, especially AC runs at times when homes and offices are empty. Even if they are used, increasing the target temperature by a few degrees may tangibly reduce the time the AC is on. People do not need to freeze in August!
Finally, a good way to lower energy consumption is house insulation, including sealing potential air leaks. This also includes insulated windows and blowing insulation in roof crawl spaces and attics. Estimates on how much electricity insulation can save vary. For instance, according to Energystar, leaking ductwork can reduce heating and cooling system efficiency by as much as 20%. It is a long-term investment that pays off slowly, but it does pay off. However, it is the consumer, not the government, who should drive energy savings.

Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard
by Thomas Gray
Stanza 15 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
lines 57-60
Some village-Hampden, that with dauntless breast
The little tyrant of his fields withstood;
Some mute inglorious Milton here may rest,
Some Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood.
- The speaker muses that there might be dead people buried here that could have been famous revolutionaries or poets, but they died unknown and undiscovered.
- Maybe there was some village-version of John Hampden who stood up to tyranny on the village green!
- (Historical side note: the real John Hampden was a Puritan politician who opposed the policies of King Charles I. He refused to pay a tax he thought was unfair. So Gray calls him "dauntless," or "fearless," for standing up to the "little tyrant," or the king.)
- Or maybe there was someone as brilliant as John Milton (you know, the guy who wrote Paradise Lost), but he died mute, without being able to express his brilliance.
- Or maybe there was someone who would have wreaked as much havoc as Cromwell, but who didn't have a chance.
- Another historical note! Oliver Cromwell was the leader of the anti-royalists during the English Civil War, helped bring about the execution of King Charles I, and became head of the short-lived English Commonwealth in 1649-1660. He wasn't a popular guy in the history books at the time Gray was writing.
- Another fun fact! Both Hampden and Milton were from the same area of England where Gray was writing his "Elegy." So maybe Gray liked to imagine that the same area could have produced other guys who were just as brilliant, but who remained unknown.

Government Trustbusters Scrutinize Patent-Holding Firms
We've spilled a lot of pixels in recent months on companies that make money largely by buying up patents and licensing them to others. (The derisive term for these players is "trolls," though they're often referred to by other names, like "non-practicing entities" or "patent-assertion entities" or "patent monetization entities.")
The industry says it has every right to license legally-granted patents to folks who might be infringing them. Critics say the NPEs too often make bogus demands that, when they're rebuffed, lead to frivolous and costly litigation.
Well, a new chapter in the long-running debate seems to be opening up. U.S. antitrust authorities are examining whether such firms are disrupting competition in high-tech markets.
"There's a possibility of competitive harm here," said Joseph Wayland, who served as the Justice Department's acting antitrust chief until last week. Mr. Wayland said officials are devoting "huge energy, particularly at a senior level" to this and other antitrust issues surrounding patents.
The Justice Department and its fellow antitrust enforcer, the Federal Trade Commission, say they are inviting parties with a stake in the matter to informal hearings next month in Washington, where tech companies are expected to encourage tougher scrutiny of what they describe as a threat to innovation.
The agencies' examination of specialized patent-holding companies is part of a broad review of how holders of patents use them as strategic weapons against competitors.
In particular, the agencies have expressed concern about companies that make aggressive legal claims based on patents that are part of industry technology standards. Antitrust enforcers also are interested in mergers or acquisitions that result in large transfers of patents.
Justice Department economist Fiona Scott Morton, speaking to a Chicago audience in September, flagged potential problems with companies teaming up to transfer patents to a specialized entity. Companies that should be competing "instead are cooperating, through the troll, to raise rivals' costs and share the profits from doing so," she said.
Michael Carrier, a law professor at Rutgers University, in Camden, N.J., said the government's best bet would be to look at patent firms in the context of patent acquisitions. The antitrust agencies generally review deals for their potential impact on competition. Ms. Scott Morton, in her Chicago speech, raised concerns that such acquisitions could harm competition.
Royalties "could get large enough to make some products unprofitable to develop or produce," she said. "These higher royalty rates will raise the prices paid by consumers, and may reduce consumer choice."

|Facile One-Pot Synthesis of Metal-Semiconductor Hybrid Nanocrystals via Chemical Transformation: The Case of Cu-CuxS Heterodimers and Hetero-Oligomers
|March 18, 2010
|Metal-semiconductor hybrid nanocrystals (HNCs) hold great potential in the fields of photocatalysis, biomedical imaging, and anticancer nanomedicine. However, their chemical synthetic procedures remain complex and challenging. Here, we apply chemical transformation to convert metal nanostructures into metal-semiconductor HNCs following a facile one-pot polyol synthetic procedure. As case Studies, two types of Cu-CuxS HNCs, heterodimers and hetero-oligomers, are produced from Cu nanocrystals using an alkanethiol as both surfactants and the sulfur Source. This protocol utilizes Cu nanocrystals' high reactivity toward sulfidization for heterogeneous growth of copper sulfide over the remaining Cu nanocrystals. We find that Under H-2/argon, such a polyol process leads to an exclusive formation of heterodimers, while Under argon, hetero-oligomers are produced predominantly. The morphological evolution upon further chemical trails formation of both heterodimers and hetero-oligomers, including the formation of hollow nanostructures, has also been investigated. A thorough physicochemical characterization of the as-prepared HNCs is achieved through multiple transmission electron microscopy methods, combined with scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and UV-vis spectroscopy.

Hey guys, you've either come here by following a link from my Twitter stream, or stumbled across this whilst perusing the World Wide Web. Either way welcome to my new blog! I'll probably spend most of my time here chatting about films and television because why break the habit of a lifetime?
Anyways, the main reason this blog exists is because for my university dissertation I'll be looking at Doctor Who, themes, performance choices, that sort of jazz. So I've decided to watch the entirety of the New Series, starting in 2005 with 'Rose' and coming right up to the last currently broadcast episode, 'The Name Of The Doctor'. I'll be reviewing each episode in the series, though reviewing is probably the wrong word, I'll be discussing each episode; what works, what doesn't, but I'm quite keen on refraining from giving episodes a score; principally because I've been a Doctor Who fan since I was a kid and I don't believe in disliking any episode.
Well that's enough of the preamble, enjoy reading!

I will be 39 weeks on Friday. I was 3 cm dilated, 75% effaced, and -1 station last week at my appointment. My next appointment will be tomorrow morning. I'm considering asking my doctor to strip my membranes. This is is why...My doctor is on call tomorrow night through friday at 12 noon. She is the only gyno I have ever had and she is very supportive of my choice of a NUCB. She has approved everything on my birth plan and i just really want her to be the one to "catch" as she calls it. She will be on vacation all next week so this is really my last chance to have her there for my son's birth.
I know that stripping the membranes does not mean that I will go into labor tomorrow but it's the furtherest I will go to try to induce labor.
Are there any drawbacks to membrane stripping?

Kevin Strom
Arguably the only true intellectual remaining in the American neo-Nazi movement following the 2002 death of National Alliance founder William Pierce, Kevin Alfred Strom is a bookish yet dogmatic neo-Nazi whose predilection for child pornography ultimately ruined his efforts to claim his former master's legacy.
About Kevin Strom
Since serving a federal prison term for possessing such material, Strom has largely avoided activism in the white supremacist movement, most of whose enthusiasts have repudiated him as an embarrassment, sexual criminal, and liability to the cause.
In His Own Words
"Both psychologically and materially Whites in modern times are called upon to bear the burdens of guilt and monetary reparation for Black slavery. This position is based entirely on enforced ignorance and the deliberate suppression of the record of White slavery in North America."
— From a 1993 broadcast, "The Truth About Slavery"
"America is today an occupied nation, a victim of the ruthless aliens whose activities we detailed today. As a result of the control of our institutions and our media by these aliens, Americans have been conditioned to accept a moral code in which anything that tends to the extinction of our race is considered good and anything which tends to our survival is evil."
— From a 1994 broadcast, "The Hidden Tyranny Revealed"
"The Aryan race, by dint of its intelligence and creativity and character has managed to drag itself up to a state of civilization and some degree of scientific understanding of the universe about us. But what Dr. Pierce could clearly see, and what the more jingoistic racialists cannot see, is that that state of civilization is but a few inches above the slime of universal savagery. […] The Journey has just begun and the danger of falling back is very great."
— Eulogy of National Alliance leader William Pierce, 2002
"There is nothing as wonderful as pretty girls, and I suspect that the entire purpose of human existence, or perhaps even of the universe itself is so that they might live."
— 2000 posting on personal website
Criminal History
In 2008, Kevin Strom was convicted of federal possession of child pornography charges and sentenced to 23 months in prison. In 1987, Strom was arrested outside the South African Embassy in Washington, D.C., for allegedly assaulting a police officer during a pro-apartheid rally. Police said they found him in possession of detailed sketches of a downtown office building where Nelson Mandela was scheduled to speak. All charges were eventually dropped.
In a 1993 radio broadcast, Kevin Alfred Strom poetically described what he considers a major influence on his political awakening: "Growing up in Alaska, I came to love its wild beauty, its endless twilights and its titanic scale. I developed an appreciation for wild animals which expresses itself today in my abhorrence for any mistreatment or unnecessary killing of my fellow Earth creatures." Indeed, Strom remains a devout vegetarian and frequently preaches about the majestic beauty of the United States.
But this same Strom also describes a more sinister influence on his political development. In a time of widespread fears of communist takeover, Strom's high school history teacher fueled his budding hatred of communism and introduced a young Strom to the far-right John Birch Society, where he allegedly encountered members of William Pierce's neo-Nazi National Alliance (NA). Having attending numerous lectures by what he called the "illustrious" NA founder, Strom claims that he abandoned the John Birch Society entirely because, despite their good intentions, "members of the group were forbidden to discuss a certain topic, a topic that is crucial for a full understanding of our nation's dilemma. This topic was race."
William Pierce rapidly inculcated in Strom the most virulent racist and anti-Semitic sensibilities. Through Pierce, Strom learned about the machinations of ZOG (the Zionist Occupied Government, the name given by the radical right to the federal government), the degeneracy of the civil rights movement, and the all-round superiority of the white race.
Strom's closeness to Pierce was enduring. Immediately following his graduation from high school, he began working for the NA leader, putting both his intellectual and his technical skills at the service of the growing organization. From installing the telephone and alarm systems in the new West Virginia mountaintop compound that Pierce inaugurated in 1985, to creating and hosting the NA's radio show ("American Dissident Voices") and editing its publication (National Vanguard), Strom rose to become Pierce's favorite aide. It was Pierce, in fact, who introduced Strom to Kirsten Kaiser, whom he married in 1990. The couple moved to their mentor's West Virginia compound in 1991.
Throughout the 1990s, despite moving away from Pierce's compound for five years and eventually divorcing Kaiser, Strom continued to produce anti-Semitic and racist material for the NA and was widely considered to be one of the few National Alliance members to rival Pierce intellectually. He also demonstrated an unwavering dedication to Alliance principals, to the point of losing custody of his three children after allegedly having attempted to abandon one whom he considered an autistic "weakling."
Upon returning to live at the West Virginia headquarters in 2000, Strom married his second wife, Elisha, known as one of the few feminists in the white-power movement. Strom immediately persuaded Pierce to dip into a new business venture: white-power music. The purchase of Resistance Records soon after Strom's return was a great boon to the organization, providing new sources of revenue and boosting Strom's prestige. The dream was abruptly cut short, however, with Pierce's unexpected death in 2002, an event which sent the National Alliance into a leadership dispute which was to be its undoing. Strom, who considered himself a favorite for the succession, was passed over for former boxer Erich Gliebe.
Following several rocky years and the defection of many members, Strom was evicted from the group in 2005 after attempting to stage a coup. Having anticipated the split, however, Strom had secretly transferred the NA's National Vanguard website to his wife's name, and he founded his own group (also called National Vanguard) not long thereafter. Many members followed Strom to the new group and for a while it seemed poised to take over where William Pierce had left off.
Unfortunately for Strom, his long-time fascination with young girls, whom he glorified by posting enticing photographs of them on his personal website, finally caught up with him. On Jan. 4, 2007, federal agents arrested him near his home in Stanardsville, Va. He was charged with possessing and receiving child pornography, enticing a minor to perform sex acts and intimidating a witness, sending shock waves through the white supremacist world. In March 2007, facing ubiquitous movement criticism, Strom officially disbanded National Vanguard.
Strom ended up facing two separate trials. Charges against Strom for possession of child pornography were separated out for a later trial. In the first trial, held in October 2007, Strom prevailed. U.S. District Judge Norman Moon ruled Strom's numerous legal complaints against his wife did not amount to intimidation. And the judge found that while Strom had followed and anonymously sent many gifts to a 10-year-old girl, he had not actually tried to have sex with her. The judge did note that there was "overwhelming evidence he was sexually drawn to this child."
In January 2008, Strom faced a second federal trial on possession of child pornography. Strom struck a deal at a plea hearing with prosecutors in which he pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography. In exchange, multiple counts of receiving child porn were dismissed. During his sentencing on April 21, 2008, Strom claimed the child porn came from an online forum he'd visited and that he had not intentionally downloaded it onto his computer. Strom, who had already served more than one year in prison, asked Judge Moon not to give him further time. "Mr. Strom, you pled guilty to charges that now you're saying you're innocent [of]," Moon responded. "I prefer people plead not guilty than put it on me." Moon, who called Strom's guilty plea "extremely serious," then sentenced him to 23 months in jail.
National Vanguard fell apart in late March of 2007, apparently unable to survive the imprisonment and public humiliation of Strom. But as early as September of 2006, four months before Strom's arrest, rebellious elements within NV already had attempted to move the headquarters to Sacramento, Calif. Early in 2007, the state of Virginia liquidated the group's legal parent, making it impossible, according to the Sacramento insurrectionists, to access the group's bank accounts.
Strom was freed from prison in Sept. 2008. Despite speculation that he had not returned to the movement, he has two white nationalist websites up: nationalvanguard.org and kevinalfredstrom.com. He also edited the racist novel Jack's War, by C.C. Conrad (pseudonym for Steven Speece), which was published in 2012.

Defendant has outburst during capital murder trial: 'The State of Texas [expletive] me over'
While a jury deliberates in one death penalty case, testimony continues in another courtroom for a second man facing a possible death sentence.
When state District Judge Mike Snipes ruled he would not admit several recordings the defendant, Franklin Davis, made of phone conversations he had with the 16-year-old girl he killed, Davis began yelling in court.
He swore at the judge several times.
Davis was ushered into a holding cell adjacent to the courtroom where he continued his tirade.
A thump was heard from the cell. The door was open but bailiffs and his attorneys were standing in the doorway.
The jury was not present.
Davis came back out without his suit jacket. He put it back on and testimony has resumed before the jury.
Davis was recording the conversation and pretending to be someone else in an attempt to get the Shania Davis to change her story or admit she lied about the rapes.
Davis shot and killed Shania in September 2012 after picking her up from school in Carrollton. Shania thought she would be meeting the person she had been talking to on the phone.
He has admitted to the murder but has denied the sexual assaults.

In a setting of 9000 square miles, there are 11 Lakes and over 1000 waterfalls and numerous gorges, which were formed at the end of the ice age when tremendous grinding pressures gouged enormous holes in the land forming what is now the Finger Lakes Region of "Upstate New York". These amazing Lakes range from 3 miles (5km) to 40 miles (64km) in length and from 30 feet (10m) to over 632 feet (194m) in depth! Native American Legend says that the Fingers Lakes were the impression left behind by the creator when he reached down to bless the land. Whatever the truth, the Finger Lakes are a wonderful place to escape to, to "just get away" and where you can relax and do either very little or do a lot. To explore the many exciting places dotted around the region and to have that perfect vacation.
Sailing in the Finger LakesWhilst you are here, why not take a leisurely drive or wine tour to visit some of over 70 award winning wineries and vineyards, which have joined together to form five wine trails. Shop at a variety of stores including antique shops, boutiques, bookshops and outlet malls. Visit the many festivals, craft fairs, museums, historic sites and other activities that take place throughout the year or simply enjoy the hospitality of the people of the Finger Lakes. For the more active and adventurous visitors to the region, there are numerous summer adventure activities such as canoeing, kayak, sailing, wind surfing, hiking around the 25 State Parks to take in the Natural beauty, swimming or why not take a cruise on Seneca Lake or Cayuga Lake or visit the Red Newt Winery in Hector which not only has stunning wines created by David Whiting but also offers some of the finest cuisine available in the region, expertly prepared and all dishes served at affordable prices?
There are also several first class golf courses nearby including the Seneca Lake Country Club where you can also rent golf equipment.
For a change of pace, why not take a day out to visit Niagara Falls, which is only a short 1-½ hour drive away or to Sodus Bay which is on lake Ontario and takes just a 40 minute drive. So little time yet so much to do and that's' just in the spring and summer!

"7 women from valatie,ny"
Enjoyed a beautiful weekend in the Fingar Lakes at Cobtree. We were seven women and the accomodations were perfect. Our hosts met our every need and gave us information as to "what to do". The cabin was very clean and we loved sitting on the front porch. Looking forward to a return visit.
"Can't wait to go back!"
We are so happy that we chose to stay at Cobtree during our visit to Geneva and the finger lakes region. We travel with our dog so it was important for us to stay somewhere that she would be welcome. Our hosts Robert and Jane were absolutely wonderful, Robert gave us excellent tips on where to dine, hike and wine

Pop-up Surprise: Korean Food Re-imagined
The "pop-up" restaurant trend – in which restaurant owners let their establishments be taken over by amateur chefs and/or foodies for a night – that has been thriving in the U.S. and Europe for a couple of years reached Seoul this past weekend, when two expat food bloggers crafted a "Korean Food Reimagined" menu for their readers.
Joe McPherson of ZenKimchi and Sarah Lee of Seoul in the City spent about six weeks planning the event and hashing out the menu. 10 Magazine, which also covers the Korean food scene in English, helped publicize the event.
Just a few hours after announcing it on March 26, the pair had far more reservations than the 31 seats that were available in their chosen venue, Café Gondry, a coffeehouse near Changdeok Palace that's usually quiet on a Saturday night.
Moving from behind the keyboard into the kitchen isn't new for either Mr. McPherson or Ms. Lee. Both worked in restaurants along in the past. They roped friends into volunteering as wait staff and built a menu that could overcome the constraints of a small kitchen.
It included:
A cream of mushroom soup, heavier on the mushrooms than the cream, that was topped with perilla seeds and sliced dates from Korea.
A Louisiana shrimp boil (peel your own, owing to Mr. McPherson's Southern heritage) with three Korean-tinged sauces on the side – spicy aioli, sesame leaf pesto and a cocktail sauce made from gochujang, which is a Korean red pepper sauce, and wasabi. (Mixing gochujang with other flavors is becoming a trend of its own in Seoul restaurants.)
A soju-infused gnocchi-like pasta made from Korean potatoes.
Pork belly slow-cooked and marinated like Korean galbijim, with sides of pickled onions, quail eggs and cilantro kimchi.
Dessert tart flavored with makgeolli, a Korean alcohol made from rice and wheat, topped with blueberries and a candied root called deodeok.
Mr. McPherson and Ms. Lee said they plan to make attempt a pop-up restaurant on a regular schedule, though they haven't settled on how often.

purchased used w/30k miles. For a period of 6 months my "speed shift" option would engage without prompting, requiring me to shift and would not go back to "automatic mode" and then would mysteriously go back to auto on its own! We were not knowingly activating this feature and tried everything to control option ourselves to no avail. Dealership could not get it to do this or throw any codes on 3 separate occasions. Has not been happening for past 2 months, however, don't trust it not to reoccur! Any ideas? Thank you!

This sounds like the mode switch is acting up, this is the switch that controls whether you are in autoshift or select mode. I would carefully inspect the mode switch and play around with it to see if you can get it to malfunction. Some of the contacts may be getting worn. I would also do this with a scan tool connected while reading the data to see if you can 'catch' the switch malfunctioning.

The junior running back scrambled for 182 yards and three touchdowns to help the No. 9 Cougars to a 42-10 win over Rancho Bernardo. Among the section leaders in every rushing category, Seale is averaging 9.7 yards per carry.
The sophomore won her fourth medalist honor of the season, posting a 38 to help Poway top Vista and move to 9-0 on the season. Mai also finished fifth in the MLK Tournament at Moreno Valley Ranch, shooting a 72 to help the Titans finish fourth.
With 17 seconds to spare, the junior won the Small School Invite, posting a time of 16 minutes, 43 seconds on the 3.12-mile course at Morley Field in Balboa Park. St. Augustine's Steve Pascucci finished second with a mark of 17:00.
The Tigers snapped their 25-game losing streak, and Ransom played a big part, especially on defense. The 5-foot-9 junior wide receiver-defensive back had three interceptions and four tackles in Morse's 37-17 victory over San Diego.
With more than 90 kills, the sophomore middle blocker led the Torreys to the Scripps Ranch Tournament championship. The title came just days after LJCD upended rival Bishop's. Birks had 14 kills and 21 digs in that match.
After passing for more than 200 yards in each of the first three games of the season, Thomas topped 300 in leading the Norsemen to a 34-0 victory over Grossmont. Thomas, a junior, completed 26-of-33 passes for 323 yards and three touchdowns.

Jimmy Zacharias' Dream Season Brings Two Titles at Shangri-La II
In the Modifieds, he won five races and claimed the title by 36 points over Jim Storace. In the Sportsman, he took four regular season features to score a 96 point margin over JR Kent. He is the sixth member of his family to win a championship at a track called Shangri-La, following in the footsteps of grandfather Jim and uncles Rick, Bill, Chris, and RJ. Jimmy's brother TJ was a contender as well in 2010, finishing in the top six in both open wheel classes.
The total number of championships won by the Zacharias family at the Shangri-La tracks, old and new, is nearly two dozen. Of course, the family helped keep the original track alive during its final seasons by promoting it under the Tioga Motorsports Park banner.
Jimmy's father Terry had a solid driving career at the original Shangri-La, but never won a championship. He's been the force behind many of those titles as car owner and crew chief, however, including both of Jimmy's in 2010.
J. Zacharias did not begin the season with a flash, although his consistency made him a solid point contender from opening day in both classes. He scored his first Modified win of the season on June 26, starting a hat trick that ran through July 10, the night the lights went on. The highlight of Jimmy's season was August 7, Stars of NASCAR Night, when he swept the open wheel features, debuting a new car in each. The new Modified was the blue No. 71, purchased from Dave Cramer in New Jersey, while the silver Sportsman was a new chassis which would prove dominant for the rest of the season.
When a driver is as successful in weekly competition as Jimmy Zacharias was at the Concrete Castle in 2010, the story naturally makes the rounds that he will go on tour the following season. Early in January, Jimmy made it clear that for the moment at least, his plans are to be back at Shangri-La II every week in 2011. Of course, the Zacharias shop in Candor is stocked with quality Modified and Sportsman equipment, and he confirmed that two late models are there as well, as raced by Jimmy and Uncle Chris in 2010. The question is, was he teasing us wih talk about a Street Stock and a Legends Car?
Whatever the final lineup turns out to be, Jimmy Zacharias will be busy during the 2011 racing season.
Shangri-La II Motor Speedway will honor Jimmy Zacharias and its other champions and special award winners at the Champions Banquet on Saturday, January 28, at The McKinley, 1701 North Street, Endicott, N.Y. For more information, call 607-330-2622.

Perhaps you've heard of the most massively powerful out of the box Android device on the market today, the Samsung Galaxy S II? Have a peek at the CF-Bench result of the device as it rests in the hands of our good pal Vince, compare it with the dwarfed results of the rest of the devices back in our original CF-Bench post and you'll see. That said, we've received word that "sources living in Asia" are planning on releasing a new version of the device by the name of Samsung Galaxy II PLUS, this either before or AT the time the device is released here in the United States, all of this to compete directly with the oncoming iPhone 5 from Apple.
This newest version of the device will supposedly upgrade the power of this device from 1.2 to a 1.4 GHz in its Samsung Exynos SoC dual-core processor. Also the device will have 1GB of RAM, Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread, Samsung's TouchWiz as it's already been featuring, and it may be coming by August or September 2011. This news also comes with a rumor that the device, since Android Gingerbread 2.3.4 comes with Google Talk and Video support, will come with Google's new voice and video application, again, out of the box.
PopHerald, the source of all these words from Asia, also has word that the iPhone 5 will be coming in September of this year, 2011, this news leaked from an employee of a Chinese carrier. This newest Apple iOS device will of course feature support for iCloud, will have a better processing power than the iPhone 4, and will run the latest version of iOS with improved notification functions.
All this comes with what we're going to call a BONUS rumor that the device will not come with Galaxy branding at all, this SORT OF falling in line with word we've heard thus far of the USA release of the device having a different name for every different carrier of said device: Attain, Function, and Within. Does this point toward a bit of worrying being done on the part of Samsung, the same group that decided to upgrade their already-released Galaxy Tab 10.1v in favor of a thinner device once the iPad 2 was released earlier this year? See our review of the Wi-Fi edition of said tablet and see the coolness now.

Here's the new thinking when it comes to getting a clear, luminous complexion: Experts now say that you don't need a complicated routine, but you do need to adopt a few key habits. This week, we'll share one easy tweak per day to help you get you the skin you've always wanted.
You know Rx retinoids are like time machines for skin. Tons of research shows they build collagen to smooth wrinkles, improve texture, lighten pigmentation and unclog pores. (A recent study in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery found that two months of Rx tretinoin--what's in Retin-A--was as effective at reducing wrinkles as three minimally invasive laser treatments!)
But here's the catch: "Because retinoids thin the outer layer of skin, you aren't as protected from the sun," says Brandith Irwin, M.D., a Seattle derm. "Stop using them on sunny trips, and limit your use to once a week in the summer if you're outside a lot." Then, switch to an antioxidant serum to ward off sun spots and wrinkles. "You'll get the repair benefits of retinoids without risking the side effects," Dr. Irwin says.

I'm a registered user of TransLucy 1.0, and I'm sure not planning on upgrading to version 2 anytime soon. Last time I checked it was buggy to no end, and I don't like that I don't get some sort of upgrade discount. They'd have done better to just improve things like checking previously viewed DVDs instead of this overdone new interface.

Among the companies with shares expected to trade in Monday's session are Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Synta Pharmaceuticals and Affymax
Cracker Barrel's fiscal third-quarter earnings rose 30%, topping expectations, amid strong sales and traffic. The country-style restaurant and retail chain raised per-share earnings estimate for the year. Shares rose 4% to $93.01 premarket.
Synta said results from an interim survival analysis of a trial evaluating its lead drug candidate, the Hsp90 inhibitor ganetespib, as a second-line treatment for patients with advanced nonsmall cell lung adenocarcinoma were positives. Shares jumped 3.7% to $7.65 premarket.
Affymax will be delisted after Wednesday's trading by Nasdaq as the biotech declines to appeal a ruling that because of the recall of its anemia drug, "the company no longer has an operating business" and is instead a "public shell." That is an entity the exchange has previously said "could be detrimental to the
interests of the investing public." Affymax has also announced paying $6 million to two suppliers of the drug's ingredients. Shares dropped 24% premarket to $1.59.
Flamel Technologies said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved its new drug application for Bloxiverz, a drug used intravenously in the operating room for the reversal of the effects of nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents after surgery. American depositary shares increased 22% to $5.88 in light premarket trading.
Mid-America Apartment Communities and Colonial Properties Trust have agreed to merge, creating a Sunbelt-focused real estate investment trust with a total market capitalization of $8.6 billion. The adjusted market capitalization is about $5.1 billion. Colonial Properties shares increased 7.9% to $23.85 in premarket trading.
Beam received a modest response to its recent offer to repurchase $326.5 million of notes that mature next year, though the whisky maker's offer to buy back up to $175 million of other debt received a stronger response.
Clovis Oncology said early results from two separate studies suggest the potential cancer inhibitors rucaparib and CO-1686 were well-tolerated by patients.
Depomed is scrapping development of its treatment for menopause symptoms after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration failed to approve it.

Halozyme Therapeutics said results were positive for an early-stage trial of its investigational new biologic, PEGPH20, in combination with gemcitabine for the treatment of patients with stage IV metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lifted its outlook on Kinder Morgan to positive from stable, citing the midstream energy company's successful execution of its deleveraging plan as well as its greater size and improved cash flow following its merger with El Paso Corp.
Fitch Ratings lowered its outlook on MarkWest Energy Partners to negative from stable on concerns of limited liquidity and covenant headroom at the natural-gas processor.
NewLink Genetics said results from a midstage study of its resected pancreatic drug were positive.

Yemen Attack Signals Time to Overhaul Anti-Terrorism Policies
A convoy of vehicles carrying Korean diplomats and family members of the victims of Sunday's terror bombing in Yemen were attacked on Wednesday by what appears to be a suicide bomber. It is a great relief to know that no one in the convoy was injured. But the latest attack, which specifically targeted Koreans, is a reminder of just how urgently we need to shed light on the circumstances surrounding the suicide bombing and devise policies to deal with the situation.
From Sunday, when the first bombing occurred, until Tuesday, Korean Foreign Ministry officials claimed that it was difficult to ascertain whether the attack specifically targeted Koreans or whether Koreans just happened to be in the way of terrorists pursuing other foreigners. But it is a cause for grave concern considering that a second terror bombing occurred after the presence in Yemen of Korean diplomats and victims' family members had been widely publicized through news reports.
In January, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), based in Saudi Arabia and Yemen, warned of attacks against non-Muslim tourists, saying such people were legitimate targets, since they are the spies of Western crusaders. We need to find out whether the attacks were indeed carried out by AQAP or were related to their warning and whether their target was the broader "pagan" tourists of various nationalities who enter Yemen or Koreans in particular.
If al-Qaeda members are found to have targeted and attacked Koreans, then our government's anti-terrorism tactics and measures to protect our citizens traveling abroad must be strengthened. We must also develop closer ties with our allies to ensure their close cooperation while thoroughly gauging international political developments and bolster our intelligence capabilities in order to prevent our citizens from becoming the victims of terrorism. However, our government should not allow terrorism to force us to change policies, which are decided according to international obligations and national interests.
We need to find more effective means of publicizing dangerous spots around the world and to engage in preventive measures so that our citizens do not travel to those locations. The Foreign Ministry designates countries under four levels (attention required, controlled travel, limited travel and prohibited travel). Yemen had been designated a limited-travel destination, which is the second most dangerous designation. The country had been classified as a region to avoid for Koreans, while those already in Yemen were being told to leave unless they had very pressing concerns there. But this time, neither the government, the tourists themselves, nor the travel agency involved exercised caution.

If you've ever used a computer, you'll have almost certainly come into contact with Microsoft software. Love them or hate them, there aren't many companies which have had such a big effect on the way we work.
So when we were looking to interview people in the world of technology, tracking down someone from Microsoft was a priority.
Bill Gates was a little busy, so we snagged William Coleman instead, who works at the company as a Web Platform Architect Evangelist as part of their Hosting Program.
The Australian's job is to help hosting companies – like 123-reg – understand how Microsoft's hosting software works and how they can best use it. Ultimately, the customers of those hosting companies should benefit.
Round the corner
Microsoft prides itself on being an innovative company, so one of the first things I asked William was what exciting things we should expect to see from them in the future.
He reckons that one of the coolest things coming out of the business is surface computing.
This is essentially a computer that uses a tabletop as its display. There's no mouse or keyboard – you do everything by touching the table. These videos of it in action do a good job of demonstrating the concept.
William sums it up: "Surface computing – that's really sexy."
On the web
I also asked what he thought the next trends on the web would be. Is social networking here to stay? After all, 2007 was the year when Facebook really took off.
In future, he says, "social networking will still be very important, but not the be-all-and-end-all".
Some commentators argue we're seeing a shift away from personal computers to the internet, with applications moving online. William agrees, to a point: "It's all about software plus services, not just software as a service."
A subtle difference perhaps, but what William's saying is that rather than the programs we use migrating wholesale from our personal computers to the internet, he thinks we'll see a mix of the two in future. Some services will be "local" and some "in the cloud."
And away from the web, he thinks robots are coming. Maybe not in 2008, but he sees "robotics getting even more into the consumer market", giving Sony's Aibo and Roomba, the robotic vacuum cleaner, as prime examples. "In the next ten years, that's gonna come right back."
Other websites
Finally, I asked William about his favourite websites. "I use Digg," he says, noting that the social news site seems to attract a certain type of user; typically someone "who likes Apple, thinks Microsoft are doing bad" and "wants Ron Paul as US President."
He also likes to "use gaming blogs a lot, like joystiq.com." And he appreciates the "no holds barred reviews" offered by game industry site Penny Arcade.
Finally, William's spotted an interesting use for YouTube: "I use YouTube to review products." He says you can search around there to find reviews of items you're thinking about buying – "especially phones".
Do you agree with William's predictions? Have you found any unusual uses for YouTube? Leave a comment and let us know. And remember to subscribe to our RSS feed or check back soon for the next in this series of interviews.

Dream car
by wings from Scottsdale | March 20, 2012
This is my dream car. Hand made beauty. V12 power and torque. This car can be driven daily, unlike the lamborghini we owned. Handling is similar to the BMW M6 or 911 but with more power. I love my convertible DB9!

The car of your dreams.
by Ed from Anaheim from Anaheim Hills, Ca. | August 7, 2009
By far, the most fun I've ever had driving a car. Unbelievable performance, surprisingly comfortable, and I'm 6'3. Just drove the car 1200 miles in a day and a half and had a ball. Got 19.8 MPG on the trip. Not only a performer, but a head turner as well. People on the road just can't keep their eyes off it. Only real problem is lack of front end clearence (about 4 1/2 inches) so scratches on front of the car are impossible to avoid. I have owned Mercedes CLK, BMW M5, and I rate this car far ahead in both styling and pleasure. Cannot fathom how anyone wouldn't love the car

Driving this car will become your life motivation. Every thing that has anything to do with this car is top in it's class. It drives like no other. It drives ten times better then my Ferrari I previously owned. My every day car and truck both stay in the garage now.
