Console manufacturer
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
A console manufacturer, also known as a first-party video game publisher, is a company that manufactures and distributes video game consoles in addition to permitting third-party publishers to produce games for its platform in return to licensing fees.
The games console market is a volatile industry with changes of market leadership happening frequently as new consoles and games are released. For example, although the Nintendo Entertainment System (or NES) largely dominated the gaming market in the 1980s, their market share was challenged after the 16-bit era, with Sega introducing their Mega Drive/Genesis as a major competitor.[1] Likewise, during the 32/64-bit era, Sega's market share plummeted with the Sega Saturn, and Sony – a newcomer in the industry – became the market leader[citation needed] (Nintendo took second place with their Nintendo 64).[2] As of 2005, the most significant console manufacturers in the industry during the 128-bit era were Sony (PlayStation 2), Nintendo (Nintendo GameCube), and Microsoft (Xbox).[citation needed] Of these three, Sony remained worldwide market leader with Nintendo and Microsoft roughly equal in second place,[citation needed] each dominating the competitor in its home territory.[citation needed] Two years into the seventh generation era, Microsoft has grabbed an early lead with the release of the Xbox 360 in North America on November 22, 2005, and the continuation of its revolutionary Xbox LIVE service.[citation needed] The release of the PlayStation 3 in Japan on November 11, 2006, and Wii in North America on November 19, 2006, saw gamers snub the pricey PS3 in favor of the more accessible Wii, despite its inferior graphical capabilities compared to the other two.[citation needed] The Wii remains in high demand (outstripping supply in some areas) and has surpassed the Xbox 360 while PS3 lags behind with less than half the worldwide sales of either competitor. Industry analysts caution that it is too early to call for final standings, with all three consoles anticipating new titles from major franchises for the holiday season of 2007 and Spring of 2008.[citation needed] In addition, the inclusion of a Blu-ray Disc player and the end of the hi-def format war has given the PS3 a recent boost, vaulting it past the Xbox 360 in the North American, European, and Japanese markets in monthly sales, although it has yet to catch the Wii's sales or either of the other two console's total sales numbers.
By contrast, in the related handheld console market, Nintendo has remained the market leader since the establishment of its wildly successful Game Boy line in 1989.[citation needed] In spite of its technological inferiority, the black-and-green Game Boy easily staved off competitors, including color-display systems made by Atari and Sega of the above-mentioned manufacturers.[citation needed] With backward compatibility and a continued emphasis on battery life and quality games, the Game Boy Color, though short lived, proved sufficient to maintain Nintendo's lead and brand awareness until the release of the Game Boy Advance,[citation needed] which had all the same features and more, and again brooked no competition, including the Nokia's phone/console hybid, the N-Gage. The first significant challenge to Nintendo's handheld gaming dominance arrived in 2004, in the form of Sony's PlayStation Portable (PSP).[citation needed] Despite superior graphics technology and a wide array of non-gaming capabilities, however, the PSP has failed to overcome Nintendo's DS system, which, with its addition of a second, touch-sensitive screen, remains the fastest-selling console worldwide and in most territories.[citation needed]
Microsoft and Sony currently use a loss leader strategy, pricing their consoles lower than the production cost to increase the market for more profitable sales of related software.[3] Competition between the two companies in 2002 has caused them to further reduce the prices of their consoles, the then prominent Xbox[4] and PlayStation 2[5] respectively. The latest Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles still use this strategy.
Nintendo's Wii console, despite being several hundred dollars cheaper than the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, generates profit from every sale because of its lower production cost compared to its counterparts.[3]
Backward compatibility
Recently console manufacturers have begun considering backward compatibility as an important feature in their consoles.[citation needed] Nintendo has had much success making their Game Boy Advance compatible with the regular Game Boy and Game Boy Color handhelds, as well as their new handheld Nintendo DS which is compatible with games made specifically for the Game Boy Advance. Nintendo's Wii is compatible, after a fashion, with all four of its previous consoles, in that it can play games from its immediate predecessor, the Nintendo GameCube, and users may download select games released on all of Nintendo's older home systems (and those of some defunct competitors) using the Virtual Console feature.[citation needed] Sony employed the same making its PlayStation 2 backward-compatible with its PlayStation, and continued with this strategy by making their PlayStation 3 backward-compatible with PlayStation 2 and PlayStation games,[citation needed] although many games had serious problems until a firmware upgrade 3 months after launch.[citation needed] The Xbox 360 is backwards compatible with 394 Xbox games as of the July 12, 2007, update; fewer titles are backward compatible in European markets (295), Japanese markets (101), and Australian markets.[citation needed]
First-mover advantage
The first-mover advantage that certain console manufacturers experience can be a great boost, on the other hand is it a somewhat risky strategy.[citation needed] Though it may attract early adopters by providing an advanced alternative to current offering, this strategy leaves room for competitors to copy the hasty company's successes and learn from its mistakes.[citation needed] While there have been cases of consoles becoming successful partly because they were the first ones released within a specific era (most notably Sega with their Mega Drive during the 16-bit era), success from being the "first-mover" is not always guaranteed.[citation needed] Sega tried once again but failed to reap benefits by being the first-mover during the 128-bit era with their Dreamcast. Unfortunately for Sega, many consumers decided that they would rather wait for the PlayStation 2 to be released instead.[citation needed] Other console manufacturers have also attempted this strategy, such as the 3DO and Jaguar, all failed miserably.[citation needed] Nearly every console manufacturer who released their console first to the market by a significant margin, permanently exited the race soon after.[citation needed] Despite this trend, in releasing the Xbox 360 before its competitors' products were released, Microsoft hoped to benefit greatly from the first-mover advantage[citation needed] – and its gamble paid off, shipping around 6 million units before the others launched.[citation needed] As many gamers decided to buy a cheap, novel Wii, and only one of the expensive, high-end, traditional alternatives,[citation needed] Microsoft's early launch allowed it to firmly trounce Sony in the first years of the seventh generation. However within a year of the Nintendo Wii launch it had already beaten Xbox 360 sales which had been available for 2 years already.[citation needed]
Third-party support
It has often been said that when it comes to a console's success: "It's all about the games". A console manufacturer needs to have ample third-party developer support in order to have a steady stream of quality video games being released throughout the year. Although brand loyalty, technical capabilities and price certainly plays their part, people tend to purchase the console that offers the games that they enjoy most.[citation needed] Without games, there is no reason to buy a console. It is the very reason why people doomed the Nokia N-Gage to failure before it was even released.[citation needed] Therefore, console manufacturers need to establish good relationships with third-party developers, otherwise they risk losing the support that they need to another competitor. A lot of this revolves around management, business decisions and partnerships,[citation needed] as even Microsoft occasionally publishes games for Nintendo handhelds, having no handheld of its own at present or planned for the near future. However, a console manufacturer can also help promote third-party support by making their console easy to develop on.[citation needed] Part of the reason for the success of the PlayStation against the Sega Saturn was that the PlayStation was considered an easy platform to develop games,[citation needed] while the Sega Saturn, with its dual processors and overall complexity, frustrated developers instead.[citation needed] In the sixth generation, Nintendo was perceived to be comparatively lacking in 3rd-party support,[citation needed] and relied mainly on their own 1st-party games, a situation since the Nintendo 64, since at the time, many third party developers opted for the PlayStation due to the ease in making games for it.[citation needed] Many top-selling Nintendo games are critical franchises that are well recognized in the video game industry at large, like The Legend of Zelda, Mario and Metroid.[citation needed] In the current seventh generation, this is reversed: the PlayStation 3 is perhaps the most difficult (and the Wii the easiest) to develop for.[citation needed]
On the other hand, third-party developers and publishers are themselves responsive to sales numbers, and the surprise success of the DS and Wii has prompted companies like Electronic Arts and Square Enix to shift more focus and resources toward Nintendo projects.[6]

Call 471-6636
I've seen and counted 25-40 cars going in and out of a certain house in our neighborhood, and people walking back and forth in the driveway smoking dope and drinking. This goes on around the first of every month. I don't care what the grownups do, but when you see 13 to 17 year olds doing it like no one is going to do anything to them or the guy selling to them, it bothers me that police and sheriff's department knows about it, and not doing any thing about it. I've been told they are checking into it. I think two years is enough checking. There are a lot of kids in our area, and that's what I worry about. Thanks, from someone who worries about our kids and our neighborhood. Could someone leave a number for the drug task force?
The number of SEMO Drug Task Force is 472-3320 or 1-888-823-6384.
Why do our American jobs go overseas, and employers from foreign countries like Japan, Korea and China move in and take over? I think our working routines have really changed since these foreign employers have taken over. Do I hear a yes to my opinion? On the news tonight, someone said the president wasn't a lame duck, he's a dumb duck. I agree. Thank you and God bless America!
I would like to speak out to the ones, I don't know what they call their self doing out in my backyard. But I sure hope they enjoyed it. I know who it is, I saw them. If I see them again, I will open fire on them. If they don't believe I will, they need to talk to the police at Dexter.
I live on Lucas Street. I guess the gentleman that owns the nursery has just decided to make a driveway across the ditch with no culvert, tracking the mud out across the street and everything. I guess that's okay. Any of the rest of us did that I'm sure the city would be down here asking us why don't we put in a culvert and make a proper driveway.
I remember the price of gasoline under Bill Clinton. George Bush Sr. had it all panned out. We never paid over 65 cents a gallon when George Bush Sr. was in. Also I remember the price of gasoline when Carter was in and the long lines waiting and the 55 mph speed limit. He was a Democrat. Remember, remember, remember.

Has your browser been hijacked?
"Prevention is always better than cure," says Davey Winder in his investigation of browser hijacking
Browser hijacking is alive and well but, rather than having your web browser diverted to Cuba, you're much more likely to find yourself landing on some advert-sodden search engine you've never heard of.
Although you might have thought of browser hijacking as something that was a problem a decade ago, the truth is that the insidious process of replacing your homepage (or search page, or even error pages in some instances) with an interloper is still an issue.
Why would anyone want to do it? Well, whether it's done as part of a malware attack or by an otherwise reputable company looking to build market share, the underlying reason is the same: increased web exposure equals increased bottom line. Yep, as with just about all cybercrime these days, money is the driving force.
Some of the more sophisticated attacks even employ rootkits to ensure they remain active after every reboot
The nature of a browser hijack is such that it's usually pretty damn easy to spot when you've fallen victim to one as your web-browsing experience will change. The most common approach is to redirect you from your default search engine – be that Google or Bing – and force you to use a below-par service that you haven't heard of and wouldn't ever use out of choice.
Sometimes it can become obvious even before you attempt to perform a search, because the hijacker simply replaces your default homepage with one that hits you with banner ads and pop-ups instead. Perhaps the hijack that's most insidious, and increasingly popular among cybercriminals looking to make a fast profit, is one where homepages, search engines and error messages are all hijacked so that a "malware infection warning" pop-up is displayed.
This of course leads you to those rogue antivirus software sting pages, where you end up parting with your cash for software to clear up a non-existent infection, and which nine times out of ten actually installs more malware on your machine.
Too obvious?
But what's the real problem with such a hijack if it's so obvious? Surely a savvy user would just pop into their browser settings and return things to normal? They might, but as soon as they restart their browser or reboot their machine the problem might return, since these hijacks write themselves into various places such as your hosts file or the system registry, for example.
Some of the more sophisticated attacks even employ rootkits to ensure they remain active after every reboot. Clearing up after a hijack is a lot more difficult than falling victim to one, especially since some of the more sophisticated ones will prevent your browser from visiting the most popular antivirus and security vendor sites, where you might otherwise be able to get help.

/ Agricultural Water Enhancement Program (AWEP)
Loading Tree...
The Agricultural Water Enhancement Program (AWEP) is a voluntary conservation initiative that provides financial and technical assistance to agricultural producers to implement agricultural water enhancement activities on agricultural land to conserve surface and ground water and improve water quality.
As part of the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), AWEP operates through program contracts with producers to plan and implement conservation practices in project areas established through partnership agreements.
Each fiscal year, NRCS may make AWEP financial and technical assistance available to eligible owners and operators of agricultural lands who participate in approved AWEP project areas.
After the Chief has announced approved AWEP project areas, eligible agricultural producers may submit a program application.
NRCS enters into partnership agreements with eligible entities and organizations that want to promote ground and surface water conservation or improve water quality on agricultural lands.
AWEP is not a grant program. Eligible partners enter into multi-year agreements with NRCS to promote ground and surface water conservation, or improve water quality on eligible agricultural lands. AWEP is intended to leverage investment in natural resources conservation along with services and non-Federal resources of other eligible partners.
Individual producers are not eligible to submit a partnership proposal.
Eligible partners include:
Owners and operators engaged in livestock or agricultural production may be eligible for the program. Eligible land includes cropland, rangeland, pasture, private non-industrial forestland, and other farm or ranch lands.
Producers must submit a program application to be considered for financial assistance through AWEP. See the NRCS EQIP program website for information how and when to apply. For more detail regarding eligibility and application requirements contact your local NRCS field office.
The 2008 Farm Bill provides $73 million for fiscal year 2009, $73 million for fiscal year 2010, $74 million for fiscal year 2011, and $60 million for fiscal year 2012 and each year thereafter for AWEP.
Please note that the amount of financial assistance provided to approved projects will change every fiscal year depending upon appropriations and agency priorities. Agricultural producers in selected project areas may apply for available AWEP financial and technical assistance at their local United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Service Center. Once an application is selected, an eligible agricultural producer will enter into a contract with NRCS to receive technical assistance and to implement approved conservation practices.

Erislandy Lara (right), THE RING's No. 4-rated junior middleweight, believes he should be the No. 1-rated 154-pound contender and he aims to prove it by beating Alfredo Angulo (left) on June 8.
After a seven month hiatus from the ring, junior middleweight contender and former Cuban amateur standout Erislandy Lara returns to action on June 8 against Mexican tough guy Alfredo Angulo in what looks to be a crossroads fight that neither can afford to lose. The Showtime-televised bout, which is the main support to the Marcos Maidana-Josesito Lopez fight, pits the classic boxer (Lara) verses a pressure-fighting puncher.
The 30-year-old southpaw defected from his homeland in 2008 along with current 122-pound champ Guillermo Rigondeaux, having previously tried the year before. In doing so he left behind family and friends. In fact his family is now split with two kids in Houston who have never met their siblings back in Cuba due to his being barred visiting Cuba at this time.
Erislandy Lara: I think this is going to be a great fight for the fans. Angulo is a rough, rugged fighter who comes forward and can take a punch. I believe this is going to be a fight the fans will remember for years.
AW: When you look at Angulo, how do you break his strengths and weaknesses down?
AW: If you win, you'll be Saul Alvarez's WBC mandatory challenger. However, some people have questioned how your promoter, Golden Boy Promotions, has moved you over the past few years, saying they haven't got you the big fights that you perhaps deserve. How would you counter that?
EL: All I can do is continue to win the fights they put in front of me. Alvarez proved he's the real deal by taking on Austin Trout. Many people thought he would never step in the ring with a good boxer and he proved he can win those types of fights. A win against Angulo will put me in a great position to challenge Canelo for his titles. All fighters want a chance to be the best; all I want is an opportunity.
AW: Going back to your days in Cuba, things there must have been tough for you.
EL: It was very difficult growing up in Cuba. The opportunity to succeed in life is not available. Once you get to a certain point, that's it, there's no room for growth.
AW: You were a top amateur, with the highlight being the 2005 World Championships. Could you tell us about that and also the rest of your amateur career?
EL: I've been in the ring with the best fighters from all parts of the world. I've defeated many great fighters which gives me confidence as a professional. Fighting in the amateurs was a great experience, one I'll never forget.
AW: Have you seen friends or family since you defected?
EL: I haven't seen any of my family or friends from back home. I miss them a lot, but they understand my position. And I fight everyday to better their lives and one day see them.
AW: Let's talk about you as a person, what do you enjoy doing away from boxing?
EL: I'm a laid back type of guy who enjoys being with the family, playing video games, and love pigeons and dogs. Those are my hobbies outside the ring. Love being with my kids here in U.S., and miss my kids like crazy in Cuba.
AW: If we can look at THE RING magazine ranking's at junior middleweight, could you share your thoughts and comments on your contemporaries?
C – Saul Alvarez – Good young fighter, improving every fight.
1 – Floyd Mayweather – Great fighter.
2 – Austin Trout – Good boxer but doesn't react well when hit, gets frustrated.
3 – Miguel Cotto – Good fighter but past his prime.
4 – Erislandy Lara – Best fighter in the division.
5 – Vanes Martirosyan – Tall, smart, one of the underrated boxers in the division
6 – Carlos Molina – Tricky guy, holds a lot but one of the better guys in the division.
7 – Zaurbek Baysangurov – Never seen him fight.
8 – Ishe Smith – Good boxer.
9 – Demetrius Andrade – Good boxer. I beat him in amateurs by 15-plus points.
10- Willie Nelson – Tall, lanky, good skills.
EL: Rankings are there to give the fans an idea of who is coming up. They're just the thoughts of a few writers who know the sport. Sometimes they are accurate and sometimes they are not. THE RING magazine has me No. 4. I say I'm No. 1.
AW: In closing, do you have a message for Angulo and the rest of the 154-pound division?
EL: I'm ready to take on all comers. Angulo stands in my way of becoming a world champion and I'm not going to let him derail me from my goal. Once I accomplish this feat, then I'm shooting for Canelo, Mayweather and the rest of the champions at 154 pounds.

WAYNESBORO — The Waynesboro Area School Board and teachers' union reported progress after a five-hour bargaining session Monday evening as details of a new two- or three-year contract for district teachers are worked out. "Tonight both the Waynesboro Area Education Association (WAEA) and the board exchanged written proposals," Rita Daywalt, a member of the board's negotiating team, wrote in an e-mail to The Record Herald. "WAEA gave an all-inclusive package to the board addressing issues they wanted in exchange for a reasonable salary settlement," said Angie Cales, WAEA president and chief negotiator for the union, which represents 275 Waynesboro teachers. Neither side released details of the proposals. Monday marked the seventh bargaining session since December. The two sides are scheduled to meet again Monday, Feb. 25. Where they're at "While we agree on a great many issues, there remain several issues that we still need to come to an agreement on," said Daywalt This set of contract negotiations comes on the heels of a 30-month contract impasse, in which salaries and benefits were the largest stumbling blocks. A settlement was reached on June 20, 2012, for a contract that covers 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13. "The WASD Board is hopeful that we will be able to come to terms on these last few issues in the coming weeks," said Daywalt, who previously noted that the parties are not "immensely far apart."

Wood Farmhouse Extension Table
Reviewed by 5 customers
Comments about Wood Farmhouse Extension Table:
We really like the rustic look on the table and bench and the chairs, the only thing is the table gets small crumbs in between the tables so need a table cover or plate matts.
Comments about Wood Farmhouse Extension Table:
We have had this table for a little under a year, and use it as our formal dining table, so it is used maybe once a week. I have to say, this is a gorgeous, solid table. I get a compliment on it from everyone who sees it. The color is beautiful, it is solid and heavy (we put felt under the legs so we could even slide it to put the leaf in because before it wouldn't budge), it comfortably sits 6, and 8 with the leaf in. The only thing that is pretty disappointing is the the sides of the table top are thin laminate pieces that have been glued on, so naturally they are lifting away and catch on clothing and table cloths. I first noticed it lifting after we had had the table for several months and now many of the pieces are lifting in one way or another. Once a piece gets accidentally ripped off the table will be ruined because the wood underneath is not stained to match. So I have to go around and glue the pieces back to the table and pray no one snags an edge. It is a beautiful table, but for this reason I don't believe it will last long term, so I wouldn't buy it again or recommend it to a friend.
Comments about Wood Farmhouse Extension Table:
Love the look of this table, the leaf to provide more length for more guests, the color (this table is not grey, it's brown with grey undertone), and the weight - this is a sturdy table.
Comments about Wood Farmhouse Extension Table:
Really nice quality, quite easy to assemble, took two of us less than an hour. We really like this table.
Comments about Wood Farmhouse Extension Table:
This table is more solid and higher quality than I expected for this price. I love the color and the overall design. My only warning is this gets delivered in a box that is massive and weighs close to 300 lbs. This was really hard to move to the designated room and assemble. Just a warning on deliver/assembly. Totally worth the effort though!

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
by Mark Twain
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Silas and Sally Phelps Quotes
Quote 1
"But we won't LET you walk—it wouldn't be Southern hospitality to do it. Come right in." (33.37)
Some rules of Aunt Sally's Southern hospitality are nice, like being friendly to your guests. Others, like owning slaves, are… well, not so nice.
Quote 2
She grabbed me and hugged me tight; and then gripped me by both hands and shook and shook; and the tears come in her eyes, and run down over; and she couldn't seem to hug and shake enough, and kept saying, "You don't look as much like your mother as I reckoned you would; but law sakes, I don't care for that, I'm so glad to see you! Dear, dear, it does seem like I could eat you up! Children, it's your cousin Tom!—tell him howdy." (32.10)
Aunt Sally is so excited to see a relative that she completely ignores the fact that Huck looks nothing like her family. This is one of the good things about the South—but we can't help remembering that the same people hardly think twice about separating a black family.
Quote 3
"It's YOU, at last!—AIN'T it?"
I out with a "Yes'm" before I thought. (10.8, 10.9)
Here's Tom Sawyer's aunt Sally asking Huck, "Is that you?" By now, Huck is so used to lying that he says "Yes" before he even knows who "you" is supposed to be. In other words, Huck will be whoever you want him to be. Just like your imaginary boyfriend.

Javier Bardem heads for 'The Dark Tower' for Ron Howard
If this happens, I think it might be one of the coolest franchise casting choices in recent memory, and I applaud Universal and Ron Howard for thinking outside the box like this.
Word is that Ron Howard has officially offered the lead role to Javier Bardem, whose surprise nomination for "Biutiful" this week must make them feel even better about the choice. Evidently, he has not said yes yet, but the conversation is happening. There were rumors in a few other places that had Christian Bale at the front of the list, but right now, it seems like Bardem's got the role in the bag.
What I find intriguing is that he's not just signing on for one movie, but for three movies as well as at least one season of television episodes. I've written before about how unusual the release plan is, but there's no other way to approach Stephen King's sprawling series. You have to think big, and this is a truly novel solution to a very real creative problem.
Bardem is an interesting choice precisely because he's not a giant box-office name. For Imagine and Universal to decide that they are placing the full weight of this franchise on an actor as well-liked as Bardem without some guarantee of box-office… that's the sort of risk I like seeing someone take.
And I think Bardem has the chops to really personify the loneliness and the sacrifice that are such a major part of Roland. Of course, casting the people around him, including the three companions who accompany him on the trip, is just as important, but I'd say Bardem is a hell of a place to start.
In addition to Bale, Viggo Mortensen was reportedly one of the top picks for the role, but it looks like he's going to end up doing "Snow White and the Huntsman" instead. At this point, Universal may end up working with both of their top Roland choices, which puts them in a very good position indeed.
We'll have more as "The Dark Tower" draws closer.

In this delicious double dose of pork, the tenderloin stays juicy inside a crispy pancetta crust. Make sure to save any extra chutney—you'll want it for pork sandwiches the next day.
Leave a Review
This was amazing, esp the chutney! Followed the chutney recipe exactly and found it very easy to make 3 days ahead and heated up on low in saucepan about an hour before the dinner. An earlier reviewers tip of laying out the string, with the prosciutto on top and then the pork T is definitely worth a listen - made it so much easier esp when dealing with such thin slices. I used the oven rather than the grill and used Hi broil setting for about 10 minutes, turning once then oven at 375 for about 1/2 hour (they were fairly large tenderloins). Received rave reviews and will definitely go into my 'easy to make special dinner party' file for future reference. I served it alongside mashed potatoes (5:1 Yukon Gold:Sweet Potato mashed with hot milk+cream infused with fresh thyme+bay leaf+peppercorns) and roasted asparagus drizzled with balsamic and asiago flakes and everyone loved it, including me!
I made this last night for 4 and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved the chutney and the pork with the pancetta was delish!! I had 2 tenderloins so now have 1 left over. I doubled the sauce so we'll have great leftovers!
Excellent. Made exactly as written and I would not change a thing. My husband, who would not put chutney in his favorite food category, loved it and asked if there was more to pack for lunch. Guest-worthy.
Great for entertaining!
Fabulous recipe! Reduced the proportions to serve 3 of us and we loved it.
The chutney is easy and delicious. I think peaches would work well too.
In my review posted earlier today, it should say "lay 9 inch pieces of kitchen twine in parallel on work surface at two inch intervals the length of tenderloin".
This is a terrific recipe. I made three tenderloins for seven people thinking I would have one left over for the next day. But such was not to be. Everyone loved this dish so much, all was eaten. I was uncertain about the plum chutney but it was a delicious melding of fruity with some zing from the ginger. It was a perfect counterpoint to the juicy tenderloin wrapped in crispy brown pancetta. I used cider vinegar and we did not find the chutney too vinegary as an earlier reviewer suggested. The pancetta I had was cut quite thin and I found the following method was effective and easy for wrapping the pancetta around the tenderloin: (i) lay 9¿ pieces of kitchen twine in parallel on work surface at two inch intervals the length of tenderloin; (ii) lay pancetta on top of twine; (iii) lay tenderloin on top of pancetta and string; (iv) cover top surface of tenderloin with pancetta; (v) bring string up around pancetta and tie snugly. You can get an assembly line going with this method! Make ahead and cover and chill.
Made as written. Good not great. sauce was a bit too vinegar tasting. Pancetta was a pain to work with since slices I got were too small to wrap around pork and it also made the pork too salty.

Zero Motorcycles Founder Leaves Company (Video)
Neal Saiki is stepping down from the day-to-day operations of Zero Motorcycles, the electric-motorcycle maker he founded with his wife, Lisa, in their garage in 2006. Today the company has more than 60 employees and a lineup of five models.
While it often sounds less than sincere when companies say their executives are departing "to pursue other interests," it appears to be true in this case. Saiki says he is giving up the electric-bike business for now so he can pursue the Sikorski Prize — an award for the first successful flight of a human-powered helicopter.
Formally known as the Igor I. Sikorski Human Powered Helicopter Competition, the contest, which the American Helicopter Society began in 1980, is named for helicopter pioneer Igor Sikorski. To win the elusive $250,000 prize, a human powered helicopter will have to fly for one minute, rise to a height of three meters and stay within a 10-meter square.
Saiki, an aeronautical engineer, was part of a team of Cal Poly students who designed and built the Da Vinci III for the competition. The pedal-powered 'copter flew for several seconds and rose several inches off the floor of a gymnasium in 1989. Now 44, Saiki says technology and materials have evolved to the point where he thinks his team can win the prize within six months or so. You can watch the 1989 flight here.
A number of teams have made flights, but none has come close to winning the prize. The hardest part of the competition, Saiki says, is the height requirement. Three meters is a staggering altitude for a human-powered aircraft, and unlike successful human-powered airplanes, a helicopter has to reach that level without the benefit of forward flight that could generate more lift.

Status of project: PhD awarded 1993
(a) Hyberbolic LOGO (b) Surface LOGO
The purpose of this project was to implement the well-known language LOGO, often used for learning and exploring geometry, for hyperbolic and elliptic geometry first, then for user-defined surfaces in differential geometry. Both are written in C and run on a Sun Workstation.
Hyperbolic and Elliptic LOGO
Euclidean geometry is very well known, but it is not the only possible type of geometry. Hyperbolic and Elliptic geometries were both discovered in the 19th century. They are rather difficult to visualise, and this is where the LOGO simulation is useful. We may visualise hyperbolic geometry inside a unit disc in the Euclidian plane. Hyperbolic straight lines generalise to arcs of circles that cut the unit disc at right angles. We may visulaise elliptic geometry inside a Euclidean unit disc in a similar way. Here elliptic lines generalise to arcs of circles that cut the unit disc at the ends of a diameter.
Surface LOGO
Surface LOGO is a further extension that allows users to experiment with the geometry on a surface they have defined in three-dimensional space, for example a cone or a sphere. This is more difficult to implement than non-Euclidean LOGO because th turtle must be able to cope with any surface that the user defines. A geodesic is the generalisation of a straight line on any surface; it is represented by a nonlinear differential equation. We find that we must solve this equation numerically every time the turtle moves; so surface LOGO needs a great deal of processing power.
In Fig 1(a) we see hyperbolic LOGO, demonstrating that a seven sided of the hyperbolic plane is possible. In Fig 1(b) we see part of the screen of surface LOGO with the turtle ready to explore the sphere.

Burger or bust: tasty beef patties abound in PB
- 4:45 pm Monday, May 6th, 2013 by M.M. Cloutier
May is National Burger Month, which is as good an excuse as any to consider burgers offered at some of the island's restaurants.
First, let's define burger because a lot of menu items these days are called "burgers," whether they're patties made from ground turkey or a black bean-and-vegetable blend.
To my reckoning, a burger is a patty of ground beef—beef—usually served between a split round bun; hence, the hamburger.
Nick & Johnnie's uses a proprietary beef blend created for the restaurant by Bush Brothers, a longtime West Palm Beach-based meat company—one of the last of the independents of its kind. Nick & Johnnie's [More]
The ultimate burger? Four Seasons' chef Darryl Moiles combines cravings for burger he'll serve at high-profile fest event
- 7:25 pm Friday, November 9th, 2012 by M.M. Cloutier
For an upcoming beachside burger fest bringing five high-profile visiting chefs and TV personalities to Palm Beach at the Four Seasons, the resort's executive chef Darryl Moiles has been experimenting with burger combinations and has struck upon what could amount to a crave-attack finalist: a burger topped with, among other things, a "secret" sauce and lobster salad.
OK, the Burgers by the Beach event in the Dec. 7-11 Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival lineup isn't a competition, but Moiles' beef-and-lobster burger should stack up nicely against signature burgers served at the affair by The Food Network's Robert Irvine, Marc Summers and Jeff [More]

This Sunday's NY Times Magazine dedicated 8,000 or so lovingly crafted words to the delicate salad-tossing of CBS chief Les Moonves, the generously-betoothed future galactic despot who will one day use his humble position as head of a successful network to hold the entire universe in his incredibly charismatic sway. Realizing that busy television executives with their own plans for world domination may not have time to pore over the entire text of the New Moonves Testament for crucial trade secrets, we've distilled the mammoth profile down to four easily digestible tips for Nielsen success:
1. Maggots don't test well.
''In the pilot,'' Nina Tassler, CBS's head of entertainment, recalled in a recent conversation, ''there was a dead body in a bathtub with a wound that was covered by maggots. We watch the shows at lunch, and Les was eating coleslaw, and the maggots and the coleslaw had a certain visual similarity. Les is very squeamish, and he insisted that we trim the maggots. He was right: post-maggots, 'C.S.I.' tested through the roof.''
2. Make morgues fun!
''This last season I was worried about 'C.S.I.: N.Y.,''' he said as we prepared to leave the restaurant. ''It was way too dark, both in story line and look. The morgue looked like it was five stories below earth, and I said, 'This is not ''Batman.''' 'C.S.I.' is a great franchise, the No. 1 show on TV, and you shouldn't revolutionize it, which is what 'C.S.I.: N.Y.' was trying to do. So I called in Anthony Zuiker, the producer, and I said: 'You know those sets? Burn them.' The morgue on 'C.S.I.: Miami' looks like a restaurant. It may be an odd thing to say, but it looks like a fun place to be.
3. Program what you know.
Throughout his career, Moonves has always subscribed to a sports-inspired, team-oriented view of the world. Sometimes he's the coach, sometimes he's one of the players, but it's always about the group.
Curiously, most of CBS's successful dramas — the three ''C.S.I.'' shows, ''Without a Trace'' and many of the new about-to-be-discussed drama pilots — revolve around a group of specially trained professionals who work in unison and are headed by a dynamic, attractive middle-aged man. These prime-time-TV teams — much like Moonves's own — are determined and work-obsessed. They seem to think of their office as an extended family while, together, they solve crimes.
4. Even when you're on top, never forget to make Jeff Zucker your bitch.
Throughout the discussion, the group looked periodically at the board, especially at the NBC programs. Long the network to beat, NBC has been severely weakened in recent years. But Moonves, ever competitive, seemed propelled by the battle, even if his network is on top. ''Is 'Joey' really going to open Thursday nights for NBC?'' he asked at one point. ''That's a dream come true. I love the smell of napalm in the morning.''
Unfortunately, no amount of maggot-calibration will help even the most assiduous of programming acolytes develop the killer instinct and cock-swinging je ne sais quoi that has propelled The Master's success. You've got to be born wanting to napalm the competition to reach such Moonvesian heights.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Most women find out they have gestational diabetes after being tested between the 24th and 28th weeks of their pregnancy. After you know you have gestational diabetes, you will need to make certain changes in the way you eat and how often you exercise to help keep your blood sugar level within a target range. As you get farther along in your pregnancy, your body will continue to make more and more hormones. This can make it harder and harder to control your blood sugar. If it is not possible to control your blood sugar with food and exercise, you may also need to take diabetes medicine or give yourself shots of insulin.
Most women who have gestational diabetes give birth to healthy babies. If you are able to keep your blood sugar level within a target range, your chances of having problems during pregnancy or birth are the same as if you didn't have gestational diabetes.
Sometimes a mother or her baby has problems because of high blood sugar. These problems include:
- High blood pressure in the mother caused by preeclampsia.
- A baby that grows too large. If a developing baby (fetus) receives too much sugar, the sugar can turn into fat, causing the baby to grow larger than normal. A large baby can be injured during vaginal birth and may need to be delivered surgically (C-section).
- After the baby is born, the baby's blood sugar level may drop too low, and he or she may need to be given extra sugar.
- Babies can also develop other treatable problems after birth, including low blood calcium levels, high bilirubin levels, and too many red blood cells.
Most of the time, gestational diabetes goes away after a baby is born. But if you have had gestational diabetes, you have a greater chance of having it in a future pregnancy and of developing type 2 diabetes.

Eurozone governments will likely approve on Monday a long-elusive rescue package for Greece, saving it from a potentially calamitous bankruptcy next month, senior officials said. But finance ministers meeting in Brussels will have a few last issues to wrangle over, such as tighter controls over Greece's spending and further cuts to the country's debt load.

Selecting a Doctor (cont.)
Start Early
The best time to choose a doctor is when you don't need one. Don't wait until you or a loved one is faced with an illness or emergency to begin looking for a doctor. This only adds stress to the decision-making process and increases the chances of making a choice you are unhappy with.
Many people often seek advice from family, friends, or coworkers about the right choice for a doctor. These are certainly good places to start and are often the most reliable and readily available sources. A number of other sources can further broaden your search.

About New Zealand
New Zealand is nestled in the South Pacific Ocean 2,162 km (1,343 miles) from Australia, our closest neighbor and friend. There are just over four million New Zealanders, and every single one is either an immigrant or descended from one. By most other standards, New Zealand is a very young country, with European settlement on a large scale only occurring over the last 150 years. English is the main written and spoken language in New Zealand – with a number of different accents! Maori is also an officially recognized language and is spoken fluently by over 4% of the population. With majestic mountain ranges, sweeping plains, fjords, imposing native forests, crystal clear inland lakes, miles of golden sand beaches and numerous bays dotted around one of the longest coastlines in the world. New Zealand enjoys a well deserved reputation as a liberal and tolerant society. We do have enormous freedoms; however there are certain laws that are strictly enforced for citizens' safety and health.

The title page tells the whole story, and makes the reviewer's task a light one. It is an excellent dictionary for nurses and one, we think, very well calculated to be of service to them. Now that nursing has become a branch of medicine, one of the most important divisions of therapeutics, it is necessary that special dictionaries should be compiled for the nurse's use, and this volume, which will doubtless grow with each succeeding edition, seems to fill the requirements.

Good timing matters. Dallas City Manager Mary Suhm, with characteristic efficiency, is choosing her moment wisely.
By announcing Thursday that she'll step down by the end of the year, Suhm can choreograph her own exit.
She'll go with a solid majority, if not complete unanimity, of City Council support. She'll go with a strong track record of achievement for Dallas.
And she'll go with an extraordinary personal resume: a 35-year tenure with the same employer, starting as a branch librarian and steadily rising to the top office at City Hall.
It's a luxury many city managers might envy. As the humble refrain goes, city managers "serve at the pleasure of the council."
An upset election, a few capricious elected officials, the political desire to find an administrative donkey on whom to pin the tail of blame — any of these can, and frequently do, spell the abrupt end of a manager's tenure in any given city.
As a result, one of the peculiarities of the profession is that there's not much shame in being fired or run off. Temporary involuntary unemployment among managers is so routine that I have heard it described by the wry euphemism "on the beach."
In her long career, with the last eight years as Dallas' city manager, Suhm has never been on the beach. She has never even been close enough to hear the pounding surf.
It is just possible that, in the last year or so, she has seen a couple of gulls circling overhead.
Her cherished goal of developing the Trinity River bottom west of downtown is still adrift after years of problems, delays and stiff opposition.
And there was a royal stink earlier this year over her negotiations with a gas-drilling outfit, during which Suhm assured an energy company in writing that she would work to persuade officials to OK drilling on a piece of city-owned parkland — despite the City Council's public pledge not to allow gas wells on parkland.
A few council members were fierce in their condemnation: Angela Hunt heatedly charged Suhm with dishonesty and with lying to the council, saying, "I no longer trust you."
It was clearly not a pleasant episode for Suhm, who offered confused and feeble explanations for how the land parcel in question had been added to a drilling agreement proposed for city authorization.
It speaks well for Suhm's record that the rest of the council, including Mayor Mike Rawlings, doggedly stuck up for her. If the episode can be viewed as a straw poll on Suhm's overall job performance, she held a comfortable majority.
That comfort zone isn't indefinite. Hunt is leaving the council, but a runoff for her District 14 post may well go to another outspoken Suhm critic. Council member Scott Griggs, who was also a harsh critic over the drilling debacle, was re-elected last weekend.
There's nothing in any of that to suggest that Suhm has lost the council's confidence, or might lose it anytime soon.
But it's in the organic nature of political bodies and popular attitudes that loyalties will shift, priorities will change and new players will emerge.
And as much pride as Suhm may take in such big-ticket Dallas achievements as the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, downtown parks and the convention center hotel, her signal accomplishment is less visible: She successfully negotiated eight years in a job that would have eaten a lot of people alive.
At 66, Suhm doesn't seem worn down by the job; she doesn't exhibit an obvious longing for retirement or post-administrative consultant lucre. In an interview last year with The Dallas Morning News, Suhm, comfortably single after two divorces, readily conceded that she's married to her job. She loves it.
Because she loves it, I think the worst possible way for that partnership to end would be with a bitter breakup. Suhm has enough sense to know it and to plan an exit strategy on her own terms.
Even her most stern critic, Hunt, had nothing but praise after Suhm's announcement that she'll step down after steering the city through one more budget cycle.
She can loaf on the beach if she wants to. Nobody's making her go.

|A few years back I stumbled upon these images online and wasn't sure what to think of them. Do you think they could possibly be an artists noble tribute? Or is it simply fan-art that's gone too far?
12 Comments on "Superman and 9/11 imagery?? Where do you draw the line?"
I think the first one symbolizes us being wounded, but not defeated. I like it.
Hi I created the 1st image on photo shop, i shared it on facebook to see if my friends thought it was any good for a canvas. The meaning behind the image is, we may have all the knowledge and strength in the universe but we are still not able to stop all the devastating things that happen to out lives.
i hope i caused no offence.
im sorry prav, but i am deeply offended by what i see. its almost as if you're trivialising the events that happened on 9/11. as a new yorker, i find the use of its nature in bad taste.
well i think that u are fucking stupid for taking offence to this dave i think the picture shows the united states as " superman" and is showing that no matter how badass and strong and invinceable we think we are…we do have a weakness but even if u take advantage of our weakness we will fight until our dying breath
that is a wonderful way to put it marcus
well said
I wonder why people are so easily offended by art? I mean it's just one person's artistic expression about something terrible that happened. The artwork itself is not poking fun at 9-11 or anything like that. But even if it was, you can ignore it if you don't like it, but to be offended is ridiculous. The only time I would agree that an artist (or writer, comedian what ever) has gone too far is if they try to incite hatred. But when we're all dead and 9-11 is just part of history like the wars of the 20th century, it will be seen as part of the narrative of the human race – something that won't be raw for anyone any more. In the mean time lets hope we don't get so sensitive that we can't make art about the real world for fear of offending.
I think this is a WONDERFUL work of art here. Superman is known as the Man of steel, power and care. New York is an remarkable city that is very powerful. The people who live there are strong, united, love where they are from and are very PROUD of their city! These pictures show that even Superman can feel pain; inside or out. It also shows that though he is wounded he is NOT defeated! Like New York and New Yorkers! I love this and (I hope you don't mind) have PROUDLY shared these images on my facebook page in tribute to 9/11 and New Yorkers! <3
Everyone laments the tragedy of 9/11, and these general emotions can translate to art in all of its various mediums. From what one considers "traditional" to other types, such as the ones on display here, as long as no ill will is meant by these images, there should be no outrage over things such as this. I believe the above images convey a great deal of Americanism as to the approach to the given subject, as well as a sense of passion for the topic at hand. I believe it is a beautiful pop art tribute. –Eienshi-Ita
lol it so funny to me
I wish Superman had really been there on September the 11.
If you know the history of Superman and some of the heroes they actually originated during the world wars as a symbol of hope. Captain America was created to fight Adolf Hitler etc. It was a good outlet for people and was assuring that we had heroes. Were they real? It depends, the hope and the confidence they instilled even through fiction had a real enough effect. One of the early appearances of Superman shows him bringing ammunition to troops. I don't think it is a misappropriation to show someone who stands up for truth, justice, and the AMERICAN way, mourning such a tragic loss. Superman is an integral part of American mythos…there is not a person in this country who doesn't know who he is, with that said I accept the tribute posters without disdain.
