Foreign Money Service Businesses Slow to Register with FinCEN
Only 80 foreign-based money services businesses have registered with the U.S. Treasury Department since a July 2011 rule brought them under the umbrella of U.S. banking regulations, according to data released Wednesday.
The data, contained in a report by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, appeared to underscore the difficulty of bringing these non-bank, foreign financial institutions at the heart of a crack down on money laundering into the U.S. regulatory system.
The findings come on the heels of a scathing Senate report that concluded the Mexican unit of HSBC Holdings PLC had violated anti-money laundering laws by continuing to do business with money-changing operations known as casas de cambio, cited by U.S. authorities as fronts for drug-cartel money laundering.
FinCEN said in a July 2011 rule that the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act covers foreign-based money services businesses offering services in the U.S., in effect requiring them to comply with U.S. anti-money laundering regulations and file reports with FinCEN on suspicious transactions. The designation covers an array of businesses including currency dealers and exchangers, like casas de cambio, check cashers, money transmitters and others.
The new rule came, in part, out of a recognition among U.S. law enforcement that money services businesses, or MSBs, are a major conduit for narcotics traffickers, terrorists and others to launder money into the U.S. financial system. As of Aug. 12, about 37,000 MSBs in the U.S. had registered with FinCEN, but only 80 foreign MSBs had done so.
FinCEN said in Wednesday's report that it expected the number of foreign registrants to increase as "the Internet and other technological advances make it increasingly possible for persons to offer MSB services in the United States from foreign locations."
FinCEN analyzed data about the 80 registered MSBs for trends on their location and services offered. Of those registered, 33 were located in Mexico, which had by far the largest concentration. Argentina was second, with 12 such institutions, according to the data. FinCEN also found that the Mexican MSBs were unique from their foreign counterparts in several respects.
Unlike MSBs in other foreign countries, the majority of Mexican MSBs were not located in the country's capital, originating in 27 different states. Meanwhile, nearly all of the Mexican MSBs offered both check cashing and foreign exchange services, unlike their foreign counterparts that mostly focused on money transmitting services.

Does anyone know if any team needing draft picks has a CB who'd be fit willing to trade a CB for some low round draft picks.
I know Dallas is in a cap bind and needs picks - is Claiborn a consideration?
Also the Raiders need pick. Do they have anyone to consider?
Any other team?

The Killers
by Ernest Hemingway
The Killers Passivity Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Paragraph)
Quote #1
"Just a bright boy," Max said. He leaned forward and took the ham and eggs. Both men ate with their gloves on. George watched them eat. (46)
Max takes the wrong meal – why? Is he too passive to bother correcting the error? Does he not notice?
Quote #2
"All right," George said. "What you going to do with us afterward?"
"That'll depend," Max said. "That's one of those things you never know at the time." (114-5)
Both men are being passive here, George in deference to the demands of the killers, and Max in deference to circumstance.
Quote #3
"Come on, Al," Max said.
"What about the two bright boys and the nigger?"
"They're all right." (135)
The killers seem surprisingly inactive about the task at hand. They're not alarmed that Ole didn't show up, and they're not concerned about leaving three witnesses who are free to run to the police or to Ole.

Even country's biggest stars get bad reviews sometimes, but a reviewer skewered Blake Shelton [1] after his show at RodeoHouston Friday night (March 15).
The reviewer, Chris Gray of the Houston Press, started out saying he wanted to like Blake, but "damned if [Blake] doesn't make it nearly impossible," Gray wrote.
"Shelton might make a decent country singer if he didn't look so pleased with himself, and if his music pushed the needle on the give-a-damn ometer even into the yellow once in a while."
"I sensed trouble might be brewing right off the bat, with the lackadaisical manner in which Shelton delivered supposed party-anthem opener 'All About Tonight.' The singer delivered the lyrics of 'feel-good pills' and 'dumbass buddies' with not even enough energy to punch his way through a wet paper bag."
Oh boy.
And it didn't get any better after that.
One of Blake's fans, after reading the review, posted on Twitter [2], "did u kick this guys dog or something? Ha."
Blake's response [2]: "No doubt.. He hates me! Guess I'm not welcome back.."
We're guessing he is.

The Return of the King
by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Return of the King Sacrifice Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Book.Chapter.Paragraph).
Quote #1
"There go three that I love, and the smallest not the least," [Aragorn] said. "He knows not to what end he rides; yet if he knew, he still would go on."
"A little people, but of great worth are the Shire-folk," said Halbarad. "Little do they know of our long labour for the safekeeping of their borders, and yet I grudge it not."
"And now our fates are woven together," said Aragorn. "And yet, alas! here we must part." (5.2.68-70)
See, Halbarad knows what's up: the great thing about the Shire is the innocence and security of its people. But in order to maintain that innocence, they must be protected, which falls to the Rangers. Sure, the Shire has produced a few extraordinary hobbits—Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, and Bilbo—who have been able to shape the course of Middle-earth. But for the most part, they travel off to do so in order that their kinsmen can remain as sheltered back home as ever. In other words, they fight so that the Shire can stay the Shire. Halbarad, too, is glad to suffer for the Shire without their knowledge, since their knowing would spoil their sense of safety.
Quote #2
So Pippin poured out his tale, reaching up and touching Gandalf's knee with trembling hands. "Can't you save Faramir?"
"Maybe I can," said Gandalf; "but if I do, then others will die, I fear. Well, I must come, since no other help can reach him. But evil and sorrow will come of this. Even in the heart of our stronghold the Enemy has power to strike us: for his will it is that is at work." (5.7.8-9)
Even Gandalf, superwizard, can't be in two places at once (although at times we wonder why not). So every military decision that he makes will come at some cost. By not pursuing the Nazgûl here, and deciding instead to save Faramir, Gandalf may have indirectly doomed Théoden to death. That's one tough call we're glad we don't have to make.
Quote #3
"[Faramir] will not wake again," said Denethor. "Battle is vain. Why should we wish to live longer? Why should we not go to death side by side?"
"Authority is not given to you, Steward of Gondor, to order the hour of your death," answered Gandalf. "And only the heathen kings, under the domination of the Dark Power, did thus, slaying themselves in pride and despair, murdering their kin to ease their own death." (5.7.30-1)
Hmm. Shmoop senses some Christian undertones. Do you? For one thing, Gandalf makes reference to "the heathen kings," and "heathen" generally refers to people who do not follow a monotheistic faith system such as Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. While Tolkien doesn't get into God specifically in this passage, Gandalf is setting himself and the people of Gondor apart from the "heathen" and from "the Dark Power." That means the Good side is aligned with some sort of Light Power, like, perhaps, God. He also makes a point to emphasize that it's not up to Denethor, or any mere mortal for that matter, to decide when to end a life. This is a classic Christian argument against suicide: having been given life by the will of God, many Christians believe that it shows the sin of pride to take that life away. Frankly, it seems like Gandalf is trying to persuade Denethor that his current route of self-sacrifice is actually a sin, and not so sacrificing at all.

From 1974 to 1980, 69 patients with diffuse malignant mesothelioma were prospectively evaluated. The initial site of involvement was the pleura in 57 patients and the peritoneum in 12. Previous asbestos exposure was found in 53 patients (77%), with a shorter period of latency for peritoneal (mean, 28 years) than for pleural mesothelioma (mean, 35 years). Other associated exposure or diseases included talc, mica, familial Mediterranean fever, and diffuse lymphocytic lymphoma (one patient each). Thrombocytosis was common, as were thromboembolic episodes. Survival was significantly better for patients with an epithelial subtype, with pleural versus peritoneal mesothelioma, and for those under 65 years of age. Surgery was never curative, but its extent was correlated with survival and earlier diagnosis. Results of chemotherapy with doxorubicin and 5-azacytidine yielded a somewhat better survival rate than a combined program with doxorubicin and radiotherapy. Survival after chemotherapy was correlated with performance status, response to chemotherapy, and extent of previous surgery.

PHILADELPHIA – There are times in every hockey season when a player who is struggling does a self-assessment and realizes what needs to be done to break out of his slump.
Just realizing the problem is the first part of the solution though. Actually putting it into practice is something else entirely.
There are players who never are able to put the two parts together. Scott Hartnell though, is a guy who knows how to correct what ails him. You don't play in the NHL for more than a decade without that ability.
And Hartnell has done it several times in his career as a Flyer – even going so far as to rise from the ashes in the 2010 playoffs to be one of the key contributors on that team's run to the Stanley Cup Finals, and subsequently becoming one of the team leaders from that point forward.
And now Hartnell finds himself in the doldrums once again. Not the lowest of the lows – as he experienced earlier in his career – but definitely in a bit of a frustrated funk.(Click "Full Story" for more...)
VOORHEES, N.J. – The Flyers got a bit of bad news Monday when forward Danny Briere was diagnosed with a concussion.
Briere apparently suffered the concussion during a hard practice Saturday. Some reports have suggested it occurred when he fell awkwardly into the boards.
Briere told me via text message today that he "doesn't feel too good today" and needs a few days before he's ready to talk further about his condition or how he suffered the concussion.
The Flyers placed Briere on injured reserve and recalled forward Tye McGinn from the Adirondack Phantoms to take Briere's roster spot.(Click "Full Story" for more...)
PITTSBURGH – When the Flyers last played in a game six days ago – a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay – there was an air of disappointment that clouded the team as they walked out of the Tampa Bay Times Forum.
And why not? They were headed into a rare five-day layoff as the team who had played the most games in the NHL and were five points out of a playoff spot.
While they were going to be idle, the Flyers were going to watch as 17 games were played involving teams with whom they were chasing the playoffs.
It seemed all but certain that the chasm between the Flyers and the playoffs would grow in those five days.
And yet, Wednesday came, and it was still five points. Thursday passed, and it was still five. It was five after Friday too.
Certainly with a full slate of games Saturday it would change, right?
Nope.(Click "Full Story" for more...)
TAMPA – It was the most glaring thing on the Flyers schedule when it was released a little over two months ago and now we're almost there:
A gaping hole of five consecutive days off in a condensed schedule.
It was unexpected in a season of 48 games in 99 days. But it definitely stood out. Especially for a Flyers team that played more games than any team in the league to this point.
The players are being given two complete days off to do as they please – vacation with the family, sit at home and vegetate… whatever – before returning for practice Thursday as the prepare for the final playoff push and a grueling 18 games in the final 35 days of the season.
(Click "Full Story" for more...)
PHILADELPHIA – The Flyers are looking to change their luck in any way possible.
The latest, is a new set of warm-up music.
While the leadership group was responsible for going back to last year's victory song ("Knock Knock" by Mac Miller) it's the younger guys who've put in a request to change the warm up playlist.
Brayden Schenn made the request earlier today, but he was the representative of a group of younger players who wanted a different brand of music to help get the team fired up to play for the Devils.
I got the new playlist… including where to start and stop each version!
Here it is:(Click "Full Story" for all the songs and more...)
NEWARK, N.J. – This morning was the first time Simon Gagne stepped into the Prudential Center since last year's Stanley Cup Finals.
Funny, how the sense of urgency to win a game is eerily similar now as it was then.
Of course, he is a world away from where he was last June, when he was battling concussion-like symptoms and trying to fit back into a Los Angeles Kings lineup that was well-oiled on it's way to the franchise's first championship.
Now, he finds himself back with his original team – the Flyers – trying to get back into the swing of things again, only this time to help a desperate team just get into the playoffs.
It's funny how things work sometimes, and Gagne's story has been ironic around every turn.(Click "Full Story" for more...)
VOORHEES, N.J. – The way Peter Laviolette juggles lines, it's not likely that this line will last long enough for the nickname to stick, but let's have some fun while we have the chance, shall we?
Today at practice, Laviolette flip-flopped Danny Briere and Matt Read, getting Read on the left wing with Brayden Schenn and Wayne Simmonds.
Meanwhile, Briere moved to the right wing on a line with Simon Gagne and Sean Couturier.
Of course, that prompted Philadelphia Inquirer beat writer Sam Carchidi to call them the new French Connection.
"I knew that was coming," Briere said with a smile.(Click "Full Story" for more...)
PHILADELPHIA – Let's start off with this: The jam is back.
No not that jam... although coach Peter Laviolette will tell you that it's that kind of jam that leads to this kind of locker room celebration... but the Flyers ditched their 2013 game-winning song and went a little old school.
(Click "Full Story" for more...)
VOORHEES, N.J. – Scott Hartnell had a message for his teammates after their loss to Pittsburgh Thursday and it was quite simple – if they were going to turn around their spate of inconsistent play, it would have to start with a sharp, crisp and intense practice Friday.
And although the Flyers were only on the ice for 25 minutes before flying to Boston for a major battle with the Bruins, those 25 minutes were spirited – with a lot of skating and a lot of competing drills.
And leading the way was Hartnell, who was practicing as if he had a chip on his shoulder.(Click "Full Story" for more...)
VOORHEES, N.J. – Everyone knows that the possibility of Chris Pronger ever playing hockey again is the longest of long shots.
But, even the slimmest glimmer of hope is enough for some people – including Flyers coach Peter Laviolette as well as Pronger himself.
Let's start with Pronger who spoke publicly Thursday in the Philadelphia market for the first time since December 1, 2011. Pronger bared his soul about the emotional battles he's had to fight as a result of the post concussion symptoms he's had and the after effects of a scary eye injury suffered when Mikael Grabovski caught him with the blade of his stick on a follow through of a shot on Oct. 24, 2011.
Pronger said that the injury and the after-effects of it have been very debilitating and have stopped him from doing almost everything that he has done – as if by rote – since he was 15 years old.
Pronger also had a press release from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center handed out to reporters in which the specialist treating him – Dr. Michael "Mickey" Collins – has advised that he no longer play the sport of hockey.
And while putting two-and-two together that all might suggest that adding up to four is equal to a retirement announcement, Pronger wouldn't go that far.(Click "Full Story" for more, including video...)

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – Roberto Diaz and the top-ranked team in NCAA Division II men's golf opened up its 2009 season in prime fashion as USC Aiken claimed the overall team victory and Diaz obtained individual medalist honors at the fourth annual Wexford Plantation Intercollegiate at the par 72, 6,828-yard Wexford Plantation course on Tuesday, Feb. 24.
The Pacers finished with a cumulative team score of 897 (292-299-306) to claim the team crown in the event. The Pacers' round of 292 in the first round was the low team score of the tournament.
The tournament title for USC Aiken is the third of the 2008-09 season. The Pacers also won the Kiawah Island Invitational and the AFLAC/Cougar Invitational in the fall of 2008.
The University of Richmond finished in second in the tournament with a team score of 905 (299-305-301). USC Aiken's fellow Peach Belt Conference school and tournament host Francis Marion finished third with a combined team score of 907 (300-293-314).
Diaz (Veracruz, Mexico) had finished the first two rounds tied with teammate J.P. Solis (Morelia, Mexico) for first place in the Wexford Plantation Intercollegiate.
Diaz fired a two-under-par 70 in the third and final round to acquire the tournament title. His total of 214 (70-74-70) bested second-place finisher Josh Gallman (218) of USC Upstate by four strokes.
The title was the fourth of Diaz' collegiate career.

Leave town for a good four days for an interview and a conference, and let your husband deal with the him.
Just don't decide to hop on a flight to LaGuardia because all the flights to Newark are delayed or canceled (and this time you can't drive to the conference) but your bag with all your fun new clothes and breast pump stayed on your original flight to Newark.
[Thank you hair stylist and make-up artist and way too expensive NYC sweater and fresh pair of underpants I remembered to pack in my purse].
Okay, so maybe it won't be that simple for you. Quite frankly, we've been working for the last few weeks to drop a feeding (I was down to one before I left). We've also instituted a little bit of CIO and a sippy cup of water in the crib. And while we've had to endure some crying (okay. disclosure: A LOT), it's been working well.
And what a surprise, he slept perfectly fine last night for my husband.
But guess what? So did I.
[If you do want to hear some of the helpful hints the MU readers so kindly shared that did not include a trip to New York but really should (Mom's Weaning Camp!), drop me an email and I'll try to summarize for you].

Sounds like ypbind and autofs are trying to start before the ethernet
drivers were initialized. You might try building a custom kernel with the
ethernet built in so that it initializes first.

SEBRING — Like a batter seeking a perfect day at the plate, Avon Park is hoping to go 3 for 3 on the goals it set before the season started.
"At the beginning of the year, we said we wanted to be the district's No. 1 seed heading into the tournament," Red Devils coach Whit Cornell said. "We did that. Then our next goal was to be district champions, and we did that, too. Now we want to win a playoff game, and if we beat Tampa Catholic, I really think it will catapult this program, not just to where we want to be, but back to where the students and fans expect it to be."
The Devils (20-4) play the Crusaders (16-9) tonight at Charles R. Head Field in the Class 4A regional quarterfinals. First pitch is set for 7 p.m.
It's a match up of storied baseball programs. Tampa Catholic and Avon Park have 17 state titles between them, and the Devils are tied with Tallahassee Leon for most appearances in the state tournament with 42.
There's recent playoff history between the Crusaders and Devils, too.
"Tampa Catholic beat us at Head Field in 2012," Cornell said. "They knocked us out of the state tournament. But we've had a good week of practice and we're excited to get out there and play."
Hitting hasn't been a problem for Avon Park. The Devils enter tonight's game averaging close to eight runs per contest. Most of the games have been lopsided, with Avon Park's superb pitching shutting down opposing hitters. Whether Kenny McGrath or Daniel Simons gets the start against the Crusaders — Cornell said he hasn't made a decision yet — both hurlers have been spectacular. McGrath compiled a 5-2 record in 13 appearances, striking out 51 batters with a 2.45 ERA. Simons managed a 10-0 record in 13 appearances, fanning 62 with a slightly higher ERA of 2.48.
Both pitchers pound the strike zone, which spells trouble for Tampa Catholic.
The Crusaders are averaging an anemic four runs per game, and they've struggled on the road. Tampa Catholic is a dismal 3-12 away from home, which bodes well for the Devils, who went 10-2 at Head Field.
But Cornell knows that history doesn't mean much when it comes time to play ball.
"We've got to go out there and put quality at-bats together," Cornell said. "All season we've taken it one game at a time. The hardest part is remembering to just go out and play. Against Tampa Catholic, our mindset hasn't changed. We need to make the routine plays, throw strikes to get ahead in the count, and pretty much play our style of baseball."
It also plays into the Devils' favor that both teams had common opponents during the regular season. The Crusaders lost 6-0 to Class 5A Sebring at Firemen's Field early in the season, and edged Class 4A McKeel Academy (Lakeland) by three runs. The Devils defeated both the Blue Streaks and Wildcats at different points this year.
"It should be a competitive game," Cornell said. "We've worked hard to be here and we've certainly got the resume of a state playoff team. We're really looking forward to a tight contest."

A 16-year-old Uncasville boy will be tried as an adult in New London Superior Court for his alleged role in the armed invasion of an Oakdale home on April 5.
Shaun Jones of 65 Kitemaug Road was charged last week with home invasion, attempted first-degree robbery, first-degree burglary, attempted fourth-degree larceny, criminal use of a weapon and first-degree threatening. He made his first appearance today in the courtroom where major crimes are heard. He was initially arraigned in Juvenile Court, but the case was transferred to adult court because of the serious nature of the charges. He will be represented by attorney Linda J. Sullivan, who entered a not guilty plea on his behalf today.
Because of his age, Judge Susan B. Handy appointed Jones' grandfather as his guardian for the proceeding and allowed him to stand with Jones. Jones hugged the grandfather before he was led back to the courthouse lockup by judicial marshals. He is being held at a juvenile detention center in lieu of $75,000 bond. His next court date is May 8.
According to state police, Jones and Zachary Spurgas, 23, of Bozrah, went to a home at 77 Lake Drive to rob 21-year-old Logan Marsh of Opanas, a potent opiate pain medication. Spurgas wore a ski mask and the juvenile wore a bandana over his face and carried a handgun, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. The masked men confronted Marsh in his bedroom at about 1:20 a.m. When Marsh told them he didn't have any drugs, Jones struck him in the head with the gun and told him to "stop lying," as Spurgas went through Marsh's possessions, according to the affidavit.
Marsh's father, James Marsh, told police he woke up to hear voices in his son's room. He said he watched the bedroom door to see who emerged and confronted the masked man who came out. He said he called for his son, who told him two people were attempting to rob him, including one with a gun. Marsh said he followed the man — later identified as Spurgas — into the garage and asked him, "Who are you?" and "What are you doing in my house with a mask on?"
James Marsh and his wife, Patrice Marsh, retrieved a shotgun and handgun and held Spurgas until police arrived. Jones fled the house and ran into the woods and was arrested April 16.

Stepping Stones to the Future
Posted September 23, 2014
NIH is preparing to roll out a new policy on the consideration of sex in preclinical research. Science is better with both sexes, and our goal is to foster a thorough understanding of female and male biology. Through this policy, NIH is strengthening the science that leads to medical advances for men and women.
Today, we are excited to announce the award of $10.1 million for 82 administrative supplement grants to ongoing NIH research projects. This investment enables NIH-funded investigators across virtually all scientific areas to add a sex/gender lens to their currently funded research projects. This program leverages NIHs current investments in science to now go deeper, and paves the way for a transformative shift that can help overcome historical gaps in our knowledge of female biology in both preclinical and clinical studies.
These awards allow scientists who are leaders in their fields of study to apply their expertise and talents to enhancing the study of female and male biology in the context of a broad range of scientific and health questions. These NIH grantees are taking steps — highly innovative approaches, in fact — to considering sex as a biological variable. They demonstrate that studying sex is both possible and an important element of discovery.
Funded supplements span a wide array of science, including basic immunology, cardiovascular physiology, neural circuitry, and behavioral health. The projects will all contribute to the body of sex- and gender-based knowledge, through a range of approaches, including:
- Leveraging already existing samples/technologies to identify sex-specific biomarker differences
- Testing methodological issues for understanding sex differences
- Looking for differences in epigenetic marks in males and females
- Estimating sex-related differences in disease outcomes using risk-prediction models
The NIH Common Fund, which supports a broad range of programs that advance many scientific disciplines, is co-funding its own set of supplements to enable Common Fund-supported researchers the opportunity to go deeper by adding the consideration of sex to their currently funded studies. Supplements will add a consideration of sex to GTEx studies of tissue-specific gene expression, H3Africa studies of cardiovascular disease risk, metabolomics studies, and others.
This investment is one way that NIH is demonstrating its commitment to moving the needle toward better health. Earlier this month the agency released a Request for Information seeking comment from the scientific community and other stakeholders as the first phase of policy development toward recognition of sex as a fundamental variable in preclinical research. All members of the scientific enterprise have a role to play in strengthening science by taking sex into account.

Absurdity Day II
(This is a re-post from last year. I tried to think of something more absurd but couldn't)
Today is Absurdity Day. Why? Know one knows, but it just is. Maybe we should all get used to it take it all in stride like good existential theater. Or maybe you prefer to run around mouth agape at all the over the top crazies you encounter. For me, I think I'll try to just stay calm.
Some time ago I had a lovely cuddle date with my awesome friend, Diba. She got a bee in her bonnet that she needed more affection and started to frankly ask for it. "Can I have a hug?" "Do you mind if I hug you?" "Will you put your arm around me I am cold?" Sometimes she also coupled this forthright requesting with a mischievous desire to crack the shells of the shy folk around, or bring the aloof into her arena. It is all fun to watch. Lucky me, I get asked, "Can we have a cuddle date?" Yes absolutely. We plan to lounge, read short stories to each other, massage, hug, chat, snuggle … fantastic. The date was arranged.
At some point that day or maybe before Diba says "Jerry is coming too" She is a community builder by nature and can craft anything into bigger and bigger groups. In this way the little cuddle date turned into a cuddle threeway.
At first we talk about God, the structure of the universe, my distrust and disdain for pretentious new agey mumbo jumbo. Here is have to explain myself, Diba teaches Reiki does different kinds of work in that area, but doesn't in the slightest trigger my snake oil salesman alarms. But that Aristotelean color coded level chart in The Journey of Souls turned me off. We chat about what we hope for out of various relationships in our lives what is happening with people we know. Then our conversation turns to sex, interesting experiences, how to communicate in bed.
And now I bring you to what I want to share with you on this holiday
D to J: there is this one thing I keep telling you about how to please me better and you never remember it
J scrunches his eyes up a little trying to recall
D: Can you remember it?
J: You know there is a perfectly good reason why I can never remember this
at this point Jerry starts getting animated. Too animated for a prone position on the outside of the bed and leans up
J: You see long long ago all the men would be out hunting together and they would kill a dinosaur and bring it back to the tribe. There would be big celebrations and feasting.
(J gets all the way at the end of the bed and waves his arms around in celebration, chest hair popping out of his unbuttoned shirt in a very caveman like way)
The women had been hungry for a long time and awaiting the men's return. This would go on for a few days. Then the meat started to get a little rotten and the woman started to be a little dissatisfied. She would start her endless nagging. nahnahnahnahnahnahnah
(J puts hands on hips for nagging woman effect)
So the men quickly plan another hunting party. Happy to be away from the women for a few days they traipse around the jungle. (the hands are animated again)
After a few days the men start to get hungry and hungry for the women's attention. They are thinking to kill another dinosaur and get back the arms of their people. One man could remember the nagging of his women and just took off – he never had any offspring but the guy who couldn't remember what his woman said (eyebrows up past normal hairline) he bred.
D: What I told you was that you need to be a little gentle
There are so many issues with that story it is hard to begin. I could go on about hunter gatherer societies and how hunting was less important for sustenance than gathering (except in a few.) I could bring up that it is highly unlikely that man ever hunted dinosaur and more commonly chased buffalo over a cliff and feasted on the wreckage. I could playfully knock J off the bed for making that nagging sound about women with two of them in a bed. I could talk about how most lovers start with what their last lover liked but the better ones adjust and you just proved yourself intractably mired in a certain style. But this like good actors in theater of the absurd should be take as if completely mundane. Or like a good fable give it a nice moral at the end.
Moral: Caveman or not if what you are doing puts a woman's nails deeply embedded into the popcorn ceiling, back arched like a cat screaming and ready to kick you because it is too intense – it is good to back off a little. A good reminder for all of us.
Enjoy your absurdity day. Let me know how you celebrate…
(This is a re-post from last year. I tried to think of something more absurd but couldn't)

A few tablet tidbits seeping out of Taipei today, with reports that Inventec is on track to secure a deal with HP for a Palm webOS tablet in Q1 2011. According to DigiTimes' industry sources, HP plans to order 6-7 million Inventec-made webOS tablets; it's unclear whether this is a different model to the webOS tablet Foxconn was tipped to be producing, or if HP has switched its OEM allegiances. Meanwhile, Intel-based ASUS, Acer, Dell, Samsung and Toshiba tablets - including high-end Core i5 machines - are also tipped as incoming, potentially as early as the end of this year.
The five manufacturers are believed to be waiting on Intel's Oak Trail platform - consisting of the Atom Z670 processor and SM35 chipset - to use in slates come Q1 2011. The first evidence of those wares is expected at CES 2011, with commercial launches suggested for February and March.
Meanwhile, ASUS is said to be readying a range of 12-inch tablets using Intel Core i5 processors, and priced between $1,000 and $1,299 for the high-end market. Believed to be due at the end of December 2010, the company will apparently target the US and European markets.

If you have purchased a television in the last 2 or 3 years the likelihood is it is a new slim type LCD or Plasma one that will turn your room into a mini cinema. Some of these TV screens are so big you have to go to the end of the garden to watch them. All jokes aside this advance in television technology has brought a whole new television experience to our front rooms. There are several companies offering HD viewing but at the forefront you will find Sky at sky.com/hd.
Sky is currently offering any new customer who joins them a brand new Sky+HD box and installation. If you are an existing Sky+ customer you will have to self install the box to qualify for the offer. As an added bonus Sky will give you £25.00 worth of M&S vouchers. At sky.com/HD you will find the latest offers from Sky.
The letters HD stand for High Definition and it is a relatively new concept for TV viewing in our homes. As the term definition infers the viewer actually sees a clearer picture because the resolution of the pixels, the little dots that make up picture, is far greater than standard TV; around 5 times as many.
After the initial satellite installation, for those who have never had a satellite dish before, it is just a case of connecting the TV and the HD box together with a HDTV cable and you are done. Some customers tune in to HDTV for the first time and cannot seem to see the improvement and only realise how much better HD is when they go back to their non-HD channels. You will find that most of this type of TV are manufactured HD ready; so they are just perfect for connecting to a Sky HD box.
This offer from Sky is a limited time offer with your new HD box having to be activated by the 21st December 2011 to qualify for your M&S vouchers so go straight to sky.com/hd to sign up and ensure you get your added bonus.

Well, your above example would delete all and put the screen output of
the operation into a file named '30'
But 'find' ios the wrong command anyway. It searches for text content in
one or more files and lists the lines.
The program FileFind (FF) of the PC TOOLS suite for DOS finds files
depending on their name, contend creation date (before/after), size or
whatever. And allows deleting the files found as well as viewing them
But the commandline options do not offer these funktions AFAIK. Just
searching for fiels with a given name or/and with a given content.
The command DEL does not take any input, so it won't take the piped
output of ANY other program to delete files.
So a batchfile for your purpose is a bit more complex.
I don't have a batch file solution at hand.
I think, GREP could be configured to put out the filename part of an
XDIR output where the date is older than given.
And XDEL would take a list of filenames to delete.
If Microsoft would invest only 5 minutes to make Windows boot 1/1000
second faster,
we would save 30 working hours worldwide every day.

Grand Junction, Colo (KKCO) --- R-5 High School gives students who were not successful or unhappy at traditional high schools a second chance.
Many students that attend the school come from broken homes, have a criminal background or became teen parents.
Ashley Moore is one of those students.
After her mother committed suicide when she was just 7-years-old, she started drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana to mask her pain. That behavior led her to be taken into the Department of Youth Corrections 16 times.
Moore says the 16th time was when she got committed and was a blessing in disguise because she finally realized she needed to get her life together.
She enrolled in R-5 High School and is now the first person in her family to graduate.
She says she hopes to further her education and create a successful future for herself.

It took me three days last week to finally get out of Aspen via our state-of-the-art airport - apparently not soon enough for many locals I ran into who seemed surprised and disappointed to keep running into me days after my announced departure.
After a good deal of prodding, airport personnel eventually fessed up to the true reason for all the recent flight cancellations. The ever-faithful bad weather excuse was being thrown around quite liberally by United desk clerks and phone center personnel. But when confronted with evidence of clear blue, sunny skies above and around the airport, they went for cover and consulted a higher authority who eventually came forward with the dreaded faulty localizer excuse that we've been hearing quite frequently ever since they installed the new navigational equipment last year at the end of our recently extended runway.
Apparently Pitkin County and the FAA bought a lemon that they haven't been able to keep consistently operational since its installation. Fearing the spread of bad PR concerning the true condition of our airport's unreliable navigational systems, the powers that be jumped to the old reliable bad weather excuse. Why panic the tourists and possibly scare them away to Vail or other locations that have safer and more reliable navigation systems?
If "uncrowded by design" is no longer our strategic goal, I'd suggest exchanging this lemon for a more reliable piece of navigational equipment; hopefully our county and FAA geniuses were smart enough to get an extended warranty with a liberal return policy.
And now a walk down memory lane ...
For those of us growing up during the '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s, we lost one of our spiritual leaders last week who was instrumental in getting us through our teen years relatively unscathed.
For most of us trying to deal with our parental rebellion issues, Dick Clark was a safe and sane voice that kept us mostly out of trouble every afternoon while we were glued to our TV sets and "American Bandstand." During my television career days, I was fortunate to work with Dick on several industry projects and can personally attest to the tremendous influence he had on all of us and the entire television industry.
I know there are many great stories out there that will be recounted in remembering Dick, but none more interesting than the story told by our own local Snowmass Club spinning instructor extraordinaire, Bianca Ostrander, in her own words:
A frequently asked Trivial Pursuit question, "Who is Earnest Evans?" The story goes like this...
"Bandstand" was at its very early arrival in Philly, and Dick wanted to showcase some of the talents of the local kids in the area (as Dick was always looking for something new). He asked the kids who came to audition to imitate their favorite singer or band to see if they could do it better or just as good as the person they were imitating.
My dad got behind the small piano in the studio and began to sing "I Found My Thrill on Blueberry Hill" by Fats Domino in front of Dick and his wife at the time ... his rendition was so convincing that Dick's wife said, "Oh my, you sound just like Fats Domino, but you're like a Chubby Checker" (board game, get it?) and the name stuck.
My dad went on Bandstand to do his rendition live as Chubby Checker and after that he was signed by Cameo-Parkway Records (Bobby Rydel, The Dovells, Dee Dee Sharp, etc.) which released his first 45rpm record titled "The Class," which didn't get much air play at the time. But the label then asked him to re-record "The Twist," originally written and recorded by Hank Ballard.
My dad loved the song but wanted to put a new spin on it so he invented the dance the Twist to go along with it. The song was initially a small hit but what sent it flying off the charts was when Zsa Zsa Gabor was photographed at New York City's historic discotheque, The Peppermint Lounge, dancing the Twist to my dad's song. It was all over the papers and newsreels around the world that Zsa Zsa was getting down with the Twist. My dad then went on Bandstand to perform the song and from that moment on history was made and my dad went on to become Cameo's No.1 hit maker.
My dad and Dick remained close and dad went to see him last fall. Even though Dick was in a wheelchair and had limited speech capability due to his stroke, Dad said he still had that spark in his eye and was still looking for something new.
Another bit of related history comes from Bianca's friend Bobby Kennedy Jr., who told her that his mom, Ethel, and dad would have "Twist Parties" at his boyhood home, "Hickory Hill" in McLean, Va. He said his dad would always get a mean side stitch from doing the Twist too hard because he loved that song and his mom would totally "out twist" his dad ... good times! And yes, for you Trivial Pursuit, fans Chubby Checker's real name is Earnest Evans.
If you have any similar poignant memories of this joyous era please pass them on to me at email@example.com.

Wild Weather

Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Elmhurst and the rest of the Chicago area have been enjoying historically warm weather this winter. At the same time, Europe has been suffering through brutal cold that has killed hundreds. So are these just weather anomalies? Or is extreme weather becoming the new normal? In this edition of the Quick Studies podcast series, Heidi Cullen, a senior research scientist at the science and media organization Climate Central, says that climate change is making our world steadily warmer–and in the process, creating more fuel for storms and weather extremes.

Discussion in 'Battlestar Galactica & Caprica' started by Caprica_Six, Sep 1, 2005.
Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
"Do ya feel lucky, Punk?"
Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
I mentioned this in the picture thread but there is a recent tv guide article that a friend from LJ has scanned for the A/R fans....spoilers below obviously
Page 1 of article
Page 2 of article
Well I and a heck of a lot of people over at LJ and Galactica Actual are very pleased about this I've always wanted to see someone address what would happened if those in charge became involved, plus they have great chemistry
So if anything happens with them that would be really interesting....either way they kiss, so excuse me while I say the following CANON! (as someone who was a Janeway/Chakotay fan I always wanted to say that but never got the chance ).
Another point of interest....Laura and the former prez...naughty naughty I just love how no one is innocent in this show
Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
Thanks for the links!
I'm personally not thrilled with the whole "Laura slept her way to the top" thinkg, but I love this:
Unfortunately, of course, this IS probably the most likely scenario if they showed up on US soil.
Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
From the way Laura talked about him, I always assumed she was involved with the President. I'd be willing to bet that as far back as the mini-series, Mary's been playing scenes where she mentions Adar with that element of her character's relationship with him in mind.
Lovely article too, by the way.
Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
Yeah a few people have thought that, her affair with him seemed to have gone on a while if she knew him since (I think she said) when they worked in the mayor's office?
While I don't know any more details of their relationship (the spoiler folks haven't spilled anymore beans yet) my own personal theory was that her relationship with him was based on a need for comfort while her mother was sufferring from cancer. All we seem to know about her so far is that she seemed to work a lot and she also had the responsibility of looking after her mother during her last days. So I don't think her relationship is going to be so much about climbing the career ladder as about needing comfort and distraction because of her mother being so ill.
Remember she said I think in the mini to Apollo that she wanted to get out of politics but Adar kept on persuading her to stay. So I don't think she cared much about climing the political ladder if she wanted out.
Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
Yeah, I agree with you. I don't think for a minute their relationship was about Laura attempting to gain status. It was probably based on a foundation of real emotion, unfortunately Adar just happened to be a married man. You can tell that, despite Adama's thoughts on Adar, she had genuine respect for the man.
I think it's safe to say that we're both looking forward to Epiphanies a great deal. I'm hoping it sheds some light on pre-Cylon attack Laura, I've often wondered why she never had a husband (Or did she?) or doesn't seem to of had children. Of all the major characters on the show, she's the one I'm most curious about learning their pre-Cylon attack life.
Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
Really? *whistles* Never noticed myself.
I have to agree (how surprising). Out of all the main cast she is the one we know the least about in terms of their pre-Cylon attack life. It will be interesting to see this and I've been longing to see this ep since the spoilers first escaped about this ep months ago.
Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
OK fellow Spoiler Whores - - don't know if this was posted yet or not, but new pictures up a DarkThoughts...
Epiphanies pictures are now up (02x13)
Spoiler Pictures O-plenty!
Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
Very nice! Thanks!
Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
Great pics, but why is Racetrack being arrested?
Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
It also seens that they have included Downloaded in the season line up as it is due to air on (USA)02.24.06
Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
Hold the phone!!!!! Here's something I came across online. It's a spoiler filled interview with Katie for TV Guide.
Katee Sackhoff
You have to scroll down to the bottom of the page. It's not print. About half of it is the hosts blathering on about this and that but eventually they do get to Katie. They said that they are campaigning to get people on board with Battlestar since it's such a terrific show...yea!!!! Let's just say there are some very spoilerific revelations about where Starbuck ends up emotionally at the end of this season. Here's a summation:
Lee and Kara have sex--in a bizarre scene that left her with more bruises than when she and Tricia fought. The tryst closes the door on the possibility of Lee and Kara romantically, according to Katie.
She "lets him go" because, even though she loves Lee, they're "not good for each other" and if you love someone and you're not good for them you have to let them go. She mentions Dee and Apollo as a couple. Katee says straight out that she fought for Michael Trucco to come back and that he is coming back at the end of the season. "Thank God" because, according to Katee, Kara lets her guard down with him. The interviewer asked how she felt that the "fans would like a romance between Starbuck and Apollo" (speak for yourself, guy) and although she didn't say anything you can hear her sigh and mutter a "mmmmm, well..." like she's trying to be polite. You get the idea she's not on board with that.
She laughed and said she doesn't know where Starbuck's ovary is because nobody's told her. Also, this was the best part, she said that when she reads the scripts a lot of the time that she says out loud, "Will someone please hit this girl?" because Starbuck can be really annoying. She's a hilarious interview. I enjoyed listening to her. She modeled Starbuck after her own brother, apparently. Then they talk about sci-fi conventions, being a role model for young girls and yada yada yada...
Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
Want to know some spoilery goodness about the last couple of episodes of season 2?
.....they find a planet to possibly live on and it ain't earth folks Oh and there is more here (click on the post about the RDM interview)
Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
Lots of interesting spoilers. I wish they hadn't brought Trucco back since he'll just be another contrived wrench thrown into the Kara/Lee ship so they can postpone the inevitable. As for the new planet: I'm excited to see what they'll do with it, but I hope to the gods they don't use that card every season. Kobol was nice, but another planet on top of that might be a bit much to take in this early in the game.
Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
A habitable planet? Hmmmmm, that does sound like it could throw a monkey wrench into everything. I'll be interested in how RDM and the staff approach the stories.
Trub, I don't think Kara and Lee getting together is inevitable. Why do they have to get together? Kira and Odo didn't when all was said and done.
Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
I tend to think they are trying to up the UST factor (unresolved sexual tension) with Kara and Lee by throwing in a few different relationships here and there.
A few spoilers have indicated they will shag this season and in one promo they apparently briefly kiss next episode. You will have to check out beyond insane for more info on that though. But I highly doubt this ship will ever be dumped completely. My advice for the K/L fans is enjoy the angsty ride and the bones the writers through you every now and again. Besides if they got together right now and were over the top happy even the most diehard K/L fan would be reaching for the bucket.
This is BSG otherwise known as Angst-o-rama that's why it's fun
About the planet episode....I just hope they don't run into Amelia Earhart remember the Voyager episode "The 37's" where they found a planet with other humans living there and they were thinking of staying?
Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
That's assuming Lee and Kara have any decent UST after they have the intercourse brawl. Once they shag, that's over. It's out of the way. So, if their other pairings work TPTB should dump them, or the other two characters should conveniently die just so Lee and Kara could get together?
Why do they have to get together? It's not written down. I'm at a few boards where they hate the idea of Lee and Kara with a passion. I'd rather see Bill and Laura get the screentime myself. Lee pining away like a puppy for her is so pathetic. He's pathetic when he looks at her with those moony eyes and I don't want her acting out of left field like some jealous sow when he's with Dee or Shevon or whoever. Why can't they just be friends?
Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
I'm just saying it how I see it really, it doesn't bother me either way. I'm more about Adama/Roslin and the overall family dynamic between the main 4 then Kara/Lee specifically.
The good thing about this show is that you can pretty much interpret anything you want in terms of chemistry.
Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
Adama and Roslin are surprisingly enticing.
Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
That's pretty much my assessment as well. No idea about this alleged kiss you're referring to though. Anyway, I'm off to Half Life 2 now. I'll catch you folks later.

The Fish
by Elizabeth Bishop
The Fish Introduction
In A Nutshell
Elizabeth Bishop published her first book of poetry in 1946 and wrote until her death in 1979. "The Fish" is one of her most famous poems.
Bishop is considered one of the best American poets of the 20th century, and she was close buds with poetry all-stars Marianne Moore and Robert Lowell. She wrote tons and tons of letters to both of them (they're published in books now, so you can read all the juicy details), which is good for us because we would otherwise know very little of her personal life. Bishop's poetry is sometimes considered objective and cold because it reveals almost nothing about the poet or her life, but we prefer to think of her poems as extremely attentive and detailed, sharp and beautifully formed – nothing sloppy about them. It's as if she was using the highest pixel digital camera in an era when most other writers were still using washed out and grainy black and white film.
Her life was pretty colorful, though. She was born in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1911. Her dad died when she was just a baby and her mom never recovered from the loss; she was institutionalized when Bishop was five. Bishop went to live with her grandparents in Nova Scotia (and Nova Scotia actually does make it into some of her writing). Eventually Bishop attended Vassar College, where she began to write poetry. At Vassar she also discovered Marianne Moore's poetry and met "Ms. Moore" (as Bishop called her for years before finally relaxing enough to call her by her first name) and began their life-long friendship. She later met Robert Lowell; though their communication was mostly through letters, Lowell fell for Bishop and proposed to her! She refused.
Bishop was pretty wealthy, having a hefty inheritance which allowed her to spend her time writing. She lived in Key West, Florida for a while, where she met and befriended Pauline Pfeiffer Hemmingway (Ernest's ex) and eventually headed to Brazil with fellowship money. She ended up staying for fifteen years! There she met poets Octavio Paz and Carlos Drummond de Andrade, and the love of most of her life, Lota de Maceado Soares. Their relationship soured and, after fifteen years, Bishop moved back the US. Bishop met Alice Methfessel in 1971 and stayed with her until her death eight years later.
For someone so guarded about her personal life, Elizabeth Bishop sure had some juicy moments. You know we wouldn't leave you out of the loop!
Why Should I Care?
Elizabeth Bishop would spend years working on a single poem. Her poems are not the result of hasty scribbling on napkins while eating Cheerios in the morning, these are finished products. Thoroughly thorough. Finely cut gems. Over a lifetime of writing, she only published about 275 pages of poetry, and about forty of those are translations. She would pin drafts of poems to her bulletin board and obsessively revise them until they were as close to perfect as she could get them.
"So what?" you're thinking. "Just because she thought they were good doesn't mean they are good."
Fair enough, but trust us. Reading Elizabeth Bishop is like being transported to the very place, the very moment she's writing about. She leads us to a microscope so we can see every atom and every grain of the scene. It's like being there with her, but even more intense than that. It seems she's constantly asking us to notice more, notice more until the poem is so clear in our minds it's almost painful – like a light that's too bright. It might take your eyes a while to adjust, but once they do, you'll like what you see.

There are Dallas fingerprints all over The Hornet's Nest.
So it's fitting that the film, made from real footage shot by father-and-son war correspondents embedded with U.S. troops in Afghanistan, got its red-carpet world premiere screening here on Monday. The movie opens in Dallas and Oklahoma City theaters on Friday.
One of the directors, Christian Tureaud, is a Southern Methodist University grad (class of 1991) and the son of Ken Tureaud, a 1962 Dallas Cowboys draft pick.
Tureaud and co-director David Salzberg were brought in by three Dallas investors — Johnny Dela Valdene (an entrepreneur of marshmallow shooter fame), Edward Coppola (president of the shopping mall company Macerich) and Stewart Hoge (a partner in the law firm of Hoge & Gameros).
The trio are friends with Mike Boettcher, an award-winning war correspondent. Boettcher and his son Carlos were granted access to combat missions in Afghanistan's most hostile regions. One mission was 2011's Strong Eagle III, an intense nine-day battle in a Taliban stronghold where six U.S. soldiers were killed.
The Boettchers and the Dallas trio were confident a compelling action-drama could be crafted from their 500 hours of footage, but they didn't know how to go about doing it. So Dela Valdene turned to Tureaud, his roommate and fraternity brother at SMU.
Later, when the filmmakers needed distribution support, Paul B. Loyd Jr. and Ed Wilson, members of SMU's Board of Trustees, stepped in with financial backing. "Without all these Dallas connections, without the right people in the right places at the right time," Tureaud says, "there would be no Hornet's Nest."
And that would have been a shame, because it's a powerful, poignant film that has resonated in early screenings with military families and civilian moviegoers alike.
While in Dallas last week, Tureaud talked about making The Hornet's Nest.
Given that you didn't personally shoot any of the Afghanistan footage, what exactly did you do as director?
It all started with 500 hours of raw footage. Mike and Carlos brought back incredible images and stories from the front line. But they shot it in bits and bites for news coverage. It wasn't shot with long-form storytelling in mind.
There were hundreds of potential story lines and themes, hundreds of characters available to us. But sometimes we didn't have all the footage we needed to tell a whole story. So it was like piecing together a puzzle. The challenge was taking all this material and finding a 90-minute narrative.
One of those story lines is the Boettchers reconnecting as father and son. Did Mike, a journalist who dislikes making himself the focus of his news stories, resist that angle? They didn't want to be characters in the movie. That's the integrity of the journalist. It's a philosophy of, "The story isn't about me." But there are thousands of war films. We felt that one way to separate ours from the clutter was to tell their story, a father and son rekindling their relationship. … When we finally showed it to them, they understood our point, because it's a powerful story line that runs through the film. That's when they gave us their blessing.
What kind of feedback have you gotten from military families who have seen the film early?
That's the most gratifying part, the way people have embraced it. We're hearing from soldiers and Marines, many of whom came home dealing with issues like PTSD and traumatic brain injury, and they've said this film helped them cope. They're calling it digital medicine.
We're hearing from Gold Star families who lost loved ones in battle. They're saying it's helping them create closure. We're hearing from civilians who tell us that they would often approach soldiers and thank them for their service, but only now do they fully understand what they're thanking them for.
There's a disconnect in this country between the military and civilian communities. We believe this film can be the bridge that brings us together.
Can you make another movie from the same 500 hours of footage?
"The next movie is in the can and starting to be edited. It focuses on Chaplain Justin Roberts, also from Dallas. Most Army chaplains stay back at the base and administer faith before the guys leave on missions and after they come back. Not Chappy. He goes on the missions. So the next film is told from a chaplain's perspective."
David Martindale is an Arlington freelance writer.

Video of Jon Stewart poking fun at Diamond Jubilee coverage goes viral
US comedian finds something to laugh at as Piers Morgan gets excited over a boat turning
A VIDEO in which the US comedian Jon Stewart mercilessly ribs CNN's TV coverage of Sunday's Diamond Jubilee flotilla has gone viral in the UK, perhaps striking a chord with people who found the BBC's coverage similarly lacking in depth.
Highlights of the video (below) include Stewart poking fun at the CNN commentary team - which included former Mirror editor Piers Morgan - getting overexcited about the Queen's barge performing a 360-degree turn.
The appalling British summer weather, inevitably, also gets a mention in the clip from the Daily Show With Jon Stewart.
The general amusement with which the video has been received in the UK suggests a similar treatment of the BBC coverage might be in order for an enterprising comedian.
On Sunday, critics took to Twitter to poke fun at the BBC's commentary, with Jonathan Ross comparing it to one of the corporation's infamously low-brow evening shows: "Was it just me or did the Beeb's coverage of the Jubilee Big Boat Challenge feel like a 5-hour episode of the One Show?"
Stephen Fry, meanwhile, asked: "Has the BBC ever presented a more mind-numbingly tedious programme in its history?"
Disqus - noscript
The flotilla was a lovely occasion - people enjoying themselves and thanking the Queen for sixty years service. What intrigued me was the BBC assembling four individuals in a cabin to talk incoherently about nothing: Maureen Lipmann, Sandi Toksvig, and the normally entertaining Griff Rhys-Jones and Omid Djallili. After two minutes even the BBC had had enough and trained their cameras elsewhere. We enjoy HMS Pinafore - this lot was HMS Pinko.
The Highlights programme was the one to watch.
It wasn't just mind numbing it was astonishing in the impoverished quality of the presenters, from the moronic female who thinks the coronation was in 1952 to a raddled looking Anneke Rice interviewing artists on the wobbly bridge.
The whole thing was so awful.

MUMBAI: The rupee today strengthened by 27 paise to trade at a fresh one-week high of 55.38 against the US dollar in early trade on the Interbank Foreign Exchange, as the American currency weakened against euro overseas.
In addition, dollar selling by exporters and a higher opening in the equity market also supported the rupee.
Dealers said apart from euro's gains against the American currency overseas, higher opening start in the domestic equity market and selling of dollars by exporters and some banks supported the rupee.
