Skill Level Beginner
One of the things that doesn't come with Compressor is a preset for Android devices. And we need to provide a little bit of extra care, because for Android devices we still are pretty much in very much a wild, wild West, where we have all sorts of different sizes, be it very small phones with very small sizing through pads that are full high def. So what this being said, we are going to build one, and the big message here is that you should experiment--but you should use this as a good starting point.
I am using my video; you can use yours, whether it's in Final Cut or any other sort. I am just going to drag and drop it in the Compressor, and we are going to start with a very different way of working here. I could pick one of the presets. Unfortunately, there is no preset for Android, so we are going to build it ourselves here from the top right. Now, I am sourcing this directly from the Android documentation. There is developer documentation for Android, and these are their video encoding recommendations. They don't cover every possibility of video, which is why you are going to have to experiment, to a large extent, on your own.
I am going to go up here to this plus and choose an MPEG-4 file, and we want a specific type of MPEG-4, what's called an H.264 file. So when I choose this, we are going to get a couple of things here. We get a new setting over here on the left with no description, and we get on the Inspector that setting, and we are already on the Encoder tab. So to name this, I am going to call this Android Base. I will use as a description, "Base Profile for Android Devices," and now here we are going to go ahead and make some adjustments.
We are on the Encoder tab. You may be initially on the Summary tab, but we are going to definitely make sure we are on the Encoder tab. We are building an MPEG-4 with this extension. And under the Video tab here of the Encoder, we will need to make sure we are on the H.266 baseline profile. Some Android devices can handle the main profile, but this baseline profile definitely works. You may be coming from a variety of frame rates. Some of you may be watching this in countries that are PAL based, some of you may be NTSC based.
I am just going to throw this switch, this gear, which is going to make everything automatically select. Same thing for the Key Frame Interval. You don't have to worry about these if that gear is selected; Compressor will make the best picks for the source. The big question here is bit rate. The smaller the bit rate, the smaller the file; the larger the bit rate, the larger the file. The one in the documentation says 500 kilobits per second. The only two things I want to mention--well, the only thing I want to mention is you should definitely experiment with taking this number significantly higher.
Take it to 2000. Take it to 5000. This, along with the frame size, are the two big pieces which are going to allow you to handle stuff that is high def, say off of a tablet or off of a phone. Some of the Android phones have HDMI plug-ins, so you could plug it into a high-def television set. And I'll tell you, this will just blow up something that's standard def. The bit rate will be where you want to play. Multi-pass just means that it should spend more time really doing the compression. It should analyze before it compresses.
This is a good choice anytime you're doing compression is to have it do a multiple-pass. The other piece of the puzzle I need to play with is the frame size. I am going to go over here to the Frame Size, the Geometry, where I can choose what the actual frame size should be. The only real thing you need to know is whether or not your video was 4x3 or whether it was 16x9. Compressor has a bunch of presets set for 16x9.
The one the Android documentation sets up, 480x360, it's really meant for 4x3 video, and I think it's a pretty fair assumption that most of you are starting off in high def. With this being the case, I would highly recommend any of these choices up here as a good starting point for yourself. I am going to actually do as close as I can to their documentation and pick totally a custom that I type in. Not 640x360. I am going to pick the horizontal size of 480. It's picked a height of 270.
So you are going to play here with the different frame sizes. As you pick larger sizes, I would suggest making larger values of the bit rate. Go double, triple, quadruple as you make the pictures larger. So this is Android Base. I might even say something up top here 500 kilobits or .5 megabits and a 480 size, 480x270. I'm going to save this, and now we can go ahead and use this and compress.
So I am going to drag this up top. I am going to press my Submit button, and it's going to start building this video. As it builds this video, I am going to go ahead and take a look at it at the Desktop and see how much smaller it is than the original and compare its sizes. Now that that compression is done, let's take a quick look out in the Finder. You'll see our file here, our original. We can get rid of this column for the time being. You can see our original file here, 500 megabytes. We have compressed it down to 2.5 megabytes. I am going to go ahead and double-click both of these, just so you can get a feel.
We have of course got beautiful video. This has actually been sized down a little bit, because it's in QuickTime 10. This file is significantly smaller, but as I scrub through it or play it, the video looks pretty decent, although you can see some blockiness in areas like where there's a lot of light here, and areas like right here. So this format, this is based on Android's Developer Guide.
You should definitely play with both the frame size and the data rate until you find one that's perfect for your videos.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. � The conditions of the eight female aerial acrobats who were injured in a circus accident on Sunday were unchanged on Tuesday morning.
As of 8 a.m., Viktoria Medeiros, Stefany Neves, Dayana Costa and Julissa Segrera were listed in serious condition at Rhode Island Hospital. Listed in good condition were Samantha Pitard, Svitlana Balanicheva, Viktorilla Liakhova and Widny Neves.
The performers were part of an act with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in which they were suspended by their hair from a metal frame high in the air. During a show Sunday morning at the Dunkin� Donuts Center, a steel clasp holding the frame to a cable snapped and the women plummeted about 35 feet to the floor, where they landed on a male performer.
He was treated and released from Rhode Island Hospital on Sunday. The other performers remain in hospital with injuries that include broken bones and compound fractures.
Relatives and rescuers say
the women suffered injuries including a pierced liver, neck and back
fractures, broken ankles and head injuries.�
The incident is being investigated by the federal Occupational Health and Safety Administration.

THE 1998 CAMPAIGN: SENATE; Recipe for an Upset: Schumer's Sureness, D'Amato's Missteps
Published: November 8, 1998
(Page 2 of 3)
Earlier this year, Mr. D'Amato had assured worried friends in the Senate that Mr. Schumer would be an easy opponent. In the days after the Democratic primary, his aides said privately that they had considered Mr. Schumer -- a liberal Jewish Democrat from Brooklyn with a 20-year voting record to examine -- a far easier mark than his main rival for the Democratic nomination, Geraldine A. Ferraro.
But by the end of business on the Monday before Election Day, after a campaign in which Mr. D'Amato had outspent Mr. Schumer by almost 2 to 1, it was the Democratic challenger who was flush with excitement, dancing at a rally with Hillary Rodham Clinton in Manhattan. At 5 P.M. that day, Mr. Schumer impulsively ordered his campaign plane into the air for one more rally in Buffalo.
At about the same time on Long Island, Mr. D'Amato had just given up speaking at a rally after a discouraging 15 minutes in which two sound systems set up by the political machine that produced him had given out. As Mr. Schumer headed for Buffalo, Mr. D'Amato called it a day.
Seven weeks before Election Day, Mr. Morris was in a television production studio on West 43d Street. That day, Democrats across New York were choosing Mr. D'Amato's challenger. But Mr. Morris, who at 45 is the most active political consultant in the state -- and is known for appearing at even black-tie events wearing a rumpled sweater -- was producing advertisements for the general campaign.
The advertisements that went on the air two days later offered the first clue that Mr. D'Amato was in for a different kind of challenge. Brash and counterintuitive, they portrayed Mr. D'Amato as soft on crime and as an advocate of higher taxes, turning a traditional D'Amato attack against him. They ended with the line, ''Too many lies for too long.''
The theme had been settled on two weeks earlier, by which time Mr. Schumer and his advisers had concluded that his victory in the Democratic primary was assured. But in tone and sweep, the advertisements were the product of the two years Mr. Schumer had spent studying Mr. D'Amato's previous campaigns and the attitudes of voters toward him.
There was a flicker of apprehension among some of Mr. Schumer's aides when Mr. Morris suggested building a campaign around a slogan describing New York's leading Republican as a liar. Mr. Morris halfheartedly suggested a softer alternative -- ''too wrong for too long.''
But the ''too many lies'' theme played directly to what the Schumer campaign had concluded were two of Mr. D'Amato's biggest liabilities: voters didn't trust him and thought he had been in office too long.
It was also designed as a broad pre-emptive defense against any attack Mr. D'Amato might make. And it telegraphed to audiences who were skeptical that Mr. Schumer could beat Mr. D'Amato -- financial contributors, Democratic workers, the media and, of course, Mr. D'Amato -- the tenor of the campaign Mr. Schumer intended to run.
Mr. Schumer's research had found that many voters admired Mr. D'Amato's bracing political style, and he set out to co-opt it. ''If you ask people what kind of vehicle he reminded them of, the people who don't like him say 'a Cadillac' or 'a Lincoln,' '' said Mr. Morris, referring to Mr. D'Amato. ''People who do like him -- and the swing voters -- said 'a bulldozer.' ''
So Mr. Schumer set out to be a bulldozer.
That attitude permeated the Schumer campaign. At his Manhattan headquarters, Mr. Schumer's press secretary, Howard Wolfson, would repeatedly cite a line from the movie ''The Untouchables'' in rallying the troops. ''If he uses a fist, you use a bat,'' Mr. Wolfson said each day. ''If he uses a knife, you use a gun.''
Before the second of the two senatorial debates, Mr. Isay asked Mark Green, the city's Public Advocate and Mr. D'Amato's most persistent foe, to come to the WNBC studios and stand in Mr. D'Amato's line of vision, hoping to rattle him.
There were bad moments. Mr. Schumer's campaign was flummoxed when Mr. D'Amato began assailing him for missing votes in Congress to run for the Senate. It affected the mood in both camps. Mr. D'Amato and his advisers went from listless to ebullient as Mr. Schumer's aides were forced daily to respond to the missed votes cited by Mr. D'Amato.
While Mr. Schumer's aides asserted that they were not worried about the attacks, other Democrats observed that the campaign was no longer about Mr. D'Amato's record and credibility; it was now about Mr. Schumer's behavior in Congress. Some of Mr. Schumer's friends began to worry that Mr. D'Amato had again found the hook with which to drag down his opponent.
That concern faded the morning when Representative Jerrold L. Nadler, the Manhattan Democrat whom Mr. D'Amato had mocked as overweight, called Mr. Isay and informed him of the story that was about to appear in The Jewish Week.
Mr. D'Amato and his campaign first tried to shrug off the report of the Yiddish slur and his subsequent denial of it, responding to every question with another attack on Mr. Schumer's attendance record. But inside the campaign's offices on Lexington Avenue, Mr. D'Amato's aides were shaken by what almost everyone believed was a huge misstep.

Although having said that, Ferguson tried his hardest to copy it a few seasons ago and didn't have much success( playing with style). Moyes will have his usual game plan.

Its just people are so obsessed with trying to get thoe epic fades, they are afraid to actually just wear the damn things.. The whole point is just to wear them like you normal would but people on here are so worried that something might go wrong... Then they decide they are going to wash them to hurry the fading process up and they look like shit.. PEOPLE JUST WEAR EM, STOP WORRYING!!

EPA Pollution Rules Could be a Boon for Energy Efficiency
At first blush, it's not entirely clear how the Environmental Protection Agency's new Clean Power Plan to mandate reduced carbon emissions from power plants has anything to do with energy efficiency. But digging a little into the plan reveals that energy efficiency is one of its main pillars.
FirstFuel CEO Swap Shah said, "The impact of this legislation means a bunch of power plants are likely to go off-line. What is going to fill that gap? That's where efficiency comes in." Supply sources such as hydro and nuclear cost from 5 cents to 15 cents per kWh, said Shah, adding that efficiency has been shown to cost 2.5 cents per kWh.
According to a Lux Research blog, "Negawatts will prove to be the cheapest compliance." Lux cites the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE), which says saving electricity is considerably cheaper for a utility than producing it – as little as $0.028 per kWh, twice as cheap as coal.
Some states already have robust energy efficiency programs through their utilities. "Some states like California are already there," said Shah. "It's the states that haven't done any of it that are going to have to come on board. Putting up a new power plant of any kind takes years; energy efficiency can be almost immediate."
According to Lux Research, in addition to energy efficiency, three other technology sectors will get a boost from the Clean Power Plan:
- Combined cycle gas turbines (CCGTs) will gain. Most states will target improvements to fossil fuel power plants. CCGTs, which use energy from burning natural gas, as well as steam generated from hot exhaust gas, will be in demand, given their higher efficiency.
- Commercial and utility scale solar demand will rise in unexpected places. Subsidized internal rates of returns are already high for commercial and utility solar installations in states like California and Massachusetts, ranging from 10-15 percent, according to Lux. The new carbon emissions rules will likely open up hitherto unattractive markets such as Georgia and South Carolina.
- "Clean coal" will get a new lease on life. The new rules will accelerate the development of second- and third-generation technologies for carbon capture and sequestration.

Here is an example of how the scam works. You go to search for an electronics product. In this case we will search for the new "Garmin Nuvi 760" GPS device. One of the Adword listings will appear for LowPriceDigital.com with an attractive price ov $50 below all other dealers.
Link: http://www.lowpricedigital.com/item.asp?item_Id=150435&partner=g123&keyword=nuvi_760&gclid=CIzn_9uq9pACFQpfYQod32Wyvw
The top two listings: 86th Street Photo and Broadway Photo (actually the same company) will show up with incredible prices and a 5 Star "Store Rating". If you visit the 86th Street Photo site to read more;
Link: http://www.86photovideo.com/products.asp?product_id=18353
Here you will also find a 5 Star Store Rating (by Low Price Digital) that has 2120 glowing reviews, presumably by customers who have all had a great experience with 86th Street Photo (or Broadway Photo or any of their 10 other aliases). Sounds great so with the endorsement of this eBay owned company you proceed to do business. However if you Google the "86th Street Photo" business the second listing you find is by ResellerRatings.com
Link: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/86th_Street_Photo_Video
There customer ratings tell a very different story than the eBay owned LowPriceDigital.com. This consumer review site give 86th Street Photo a rating of 0.28 out of 10. This is an incredible conflict with the 5 Star perfect customer service rating given by the eBay owned company Low Price Digital (a Shopping.com company).
Clearly this is a manipulated result to favor their "Featured Merchant" with a 5 Star "Certified Merchant" status.
The eBay company LowPriceDigital.com clearly is providing a name for what is clearly a bait and switch high presure sales group selling add on accessories at super inflated prices and dropping non-cooperative customers (read the Reseller Ratings reviews).
A company like eBay that has built their business on trusted auction relationships, trusted payment methods (PayPal) should not be deceiving consumers with manipulated results to favor "Certified Merchants", which in this case simply means they are spending huge amounts of money to buy certification from this eBay company.
I am confident this is a renagade practice by employees of an eBay owned company and that if this was brought to the attention of eBay executives they would stop this deceitful practice of selling 5 Star Ratings that are not earned and certified by consumers (not an account representative on the take).
E-commerce will not raise above it's lowest common denominator which is, unfortunately, in this case a eBay owned fraudster called LowPriceDigital.com.

Skip to comments.'A parent's worst nightmare' 9-year-old girl sexually assaulted in her bedroom
Posted on 12/09/2004 7:41:59 AM PST by SmithL
A convicted sex offender broke into a San Francisco home in the Ingleside district and raped a 9-year-old girl in her bedroom in an hourlong attack that ended when the girl's mother walked into the room, San Francisco police said.
The man, police say, fled on foot and was chased by the girl's father, who at one point struck him with a 2-by-4. The man continued fleeing through several backyards and was captured by police and identified as Roberto Gamero, 36, of San Francisco, police said.
"It's a parent's worst nightmare,'' said San Francisco police Deputy Chief Morris Tabak of Sunday's attack. "It's pretty horrific. All of us who are parents, it sends chills up your spine.''
Gamero, a prior sex offender who was on probation for an earlier domestic violence case in San Mateo County, . . .

He'll get his comeuppance in prison. Convicts just love child molesters. </sarcasm>
I'll bet Dad is in the market for a firearm.
May I give you 50 feet of good sailing rope to hang the bastard with? Don't let him get some liberal do-gooders group behind him.
Kill him, right now.
It is a parents worst nightmare. That's why I have a 45 pound Rhodesian Ridgeback, soon to be an 80 pound Rhodesian Ridgeback that sleeps in my daughters room.
They'll "love him long time."
I think SF has more stringent gun laws than Boston.
Could he even have a gun in his home?
If I were the father, I would be in jail by now...
I wonder how the law addresses using something more powerful than that in those circumstances. I would guess that the law would hold that that would be about all he could do under the law...if even that. He (the father) would be viewed as the aggressor.
In the U.K. he probably would have been crucified for using the 2x4.
Viva USA!
nightmare? yes. worst? no. Worst is having a son/daughter murder another son/daughter.
sorry to nit-pick, but it (above statement) is a pet-peeve of mine
The girl needs a doggie....
"Police Dog Bites Nude Man in the Genitals" ap ^ 12-8-04
This needs a longer discussion, but you're right.
Human predators are easily identified, incurable, and time-delimited incarceration does not protect their future victims (nor the non-predators who share the prisons with them).
As soon as a human predator is identified, he should be killed (or isolated).
I too will volunteer to be on that jury.
This household has 5 dogs, the can't even fart without me knowing about it.
Oh, you noticed that, too.
Should say cat can't fart.
That is why I have and always will have 'big' dogs. And that is why they always sleep by my bed ;) Combination alarm and first line of defense :)
I hear you. If I were the mother, I'd be in the cell right next door....
you watch this perp POS will have a scumbag lawyer that will SUE the father for beating him with this 2X4 and WIN. Only in California. Watch!
The panel who let this animal out on probation would be in court now facing jail time. This sick animal needs to be put down not let out on probation. What the hell is going on?
This is what we get for an 'anything goes' tittilation driven culture...kids are so sexualized today it is positively vile and a real abomination of our species.
Add to that a 24x7 delievery system satuated with off-the-scale, twisted pornography that the Internet pumps into our households (and slaps in our face like it or not) and we are really playing with sociopathic fire.
Wonder if we will wake up before we strip ourselves of all spiritual essence in the quest to gorge ourselves for all that is 'base'?
Now here is the real problem. Once these animals exhibit this kind of behavior they should be locked away forever.
There is something here that I don't understand though. How does someone come into a private home unnoticed and manage to commit a crime like this and still go unnoticed.
I live in a rural area and never feel threatened. And, even though we don't feel threatened, the doors remain locked throughout the day and it would be impossible for someone to enter without making a lot of noise. Can't be too careful these days.
Scum such as this do not deserve to breathe our air.
Even more incentive to use a firearm in case there is any litigation afterwards
I agree. Often a predator can be identified at a very early age (7-12-14). And usually, they can't be rehabed. There was a discussion here once about killing such kids. Don't think I could live with that. But locked away forever doesn't bother me a bit.
I know the first thing I would cut off, just before I cut off his head.
Stay armed, ready, and vigilant.
I'll ditto that, B4B.
Does California publish lists of sex offenders online with address and picture?
mark my words the father will be the one to do time . the pervert will get a slap on the wrist
attorneys and bleeding-heart judges
I don't believe that one bit. They need to give this guy a choice -- cut his thing off and shove him in prison for the rest of his natural life with no chance of parole housed with the most dangerous gang in the California prison system. Or, just cut his thing off and let him bleed to death.
That's why my kids and I sleep in the same room. safety first
"He'll get his comeuppance in prison."
I'm sure that is a great comfort to the little girl.
I don't think children under 12 are unreformable enough to kill them.
"Locked away forever" creates a number of problems which you should think through.
First, it's very expensive. There are probably 50 000-100 000 eligibles right now, and many of them are wily enough to be out, or in prison for only short stretches. Converting them all to life will cost a fortune.
Second, the non-predator prison population will suffer enormously as a result of your proposal. And you can't put them all in solitary, most men cannot tolerate 30 days of solitary, much less fifty years.
Thirdly, there is the practical problem of escape.
If you could design an isolation facility (a penal colony) which was escape-proof and capable of agriculture, so that our costs would be limited to guarding the wall, I could go for it.
But killing them right away wins hands down, in my book, because it's cheaper, safer, and better for the non-predator inamtes who we will still need to incarcerate.
Not all cities do and SF being such a LIBERAL city, I doubt that they do.
May I be on that jury, please?

Hopefully he won't have the opportunity to be released. Hopefully, the other inmates will take care of that.
I agree. It is just one of those things that I don't want to be in charge of deciding :)
But if I could get my hands on this guy...

Had a great visit to Michael Barnes for half head of highlights, cut and blowdry, which was a massive bargain with the Wahanda promotion. I went on a weekday so can't speak for busier times, but the salon was very friendly, casual and lively (but not noisy - music kept at a civilised level at all times).
Tania listened carefully and gave me exactly the highlights (very fine and natural) and cut I wanted. I was very happy with the outcome, as were the regulars who came and went during my treatment.
Excellent selection of teas, wine, etc. and little Easter eggs was a nice touch. I shall return!

The world champions had looked untouchable in the early part of the season as they claimed victories in the first five events.
But they were absent from the top step of the podium in the previous two rounds, with compatriots Toni Eggert and Sascha Benecken closing the gap in second.
However Wendl and Arlt recovered in Lake Placid, recording a time of 1:28.256 minutes over their two runs to take the win and with it win back the overall World Cup title they last held in 2011, after having to settle for silver last year behind Andreas and Wolfgang Linger.
And the Germans did it in style as they recorded a new start record of 6.202 seconds en route to their sixth win of the season.
Eggert and Benecken could only manage seventh in America to hand Wendl and Arlt the title, and now face a fight with Austrians Peter Penz and Georg Fischler to finish runner up after the latter were second in Lake Placid.
Eggert and Benecken have 598 points while Penz and Fischler are 73 behind with just one more round to come.

So at this point i knew this was not going to end well. Called and yelled at everyone in their company and they all said "its a 12 month contract and we cant do anything about it..."
We then recieved 1-3 calls per month for the first few months. Keep in mind that none even turned into an in home meeting. And they kept billing our company credit card even though our agreed terms were to be invoiced. After many calls and complaints they finally sent us a link to the sites they had posted. We then found out that they had us listed under the wrong business completely. After great run around they assign a manager that says he will get the first 3months for the incorrect listing and get the billing corrected. He then gave us the runaround for another couple of months only to come back with a one month credit and billing change.
He then said that they were going to get the sites corrected and to just bear with him and it would all work out. ...wrong...they did get the trades right finally but they not only had coupons posted online that we had not approved they ran avertising that did not list our license number. Thats a big NO-NO in our state. I called and said that we were done and they need to figure out how the resolve it on their end but we have paid for 6months of thier service @600.00 and it had not generated us a dollar. Between the bold faced lies and complete unprofessionalism parting ways would seem the best option in both our interested. Nope...instead of doing anything to try and help they said we can change the sites to show your lic number and it will be fine thanks...i called back and explained that we were done, period, canceled delete everything, go away DONE!!! Well the contract is 12 months and well get our money one way or another - have a nice day....
I just dont know what to do, how can they get away with this scam...Well i hope someone learns from our pain - dont buy anything, from anyone that calls your office or solicit's you at your place of business. Just do it yourself or thorugh a personal reference - PERIODgood luck all!

'Nine Lives' Review: Kevin Spacey Is Transformed Into A Cat In This Neutered Family Comedy From Hell

You're better off watching the cute cat gif at the bottom of this page.
Tom Brand (Kevin Spacey) is a daredevil billionaire at the top of his game.

But Tom's workaholic lifestyle has disconnected him from his family, particularly his beautiful wife Lara (Jennifer Garner) and his adoring […]
Set in the highly competitive world of championship butter carving, Butter blends social commentary, outrageous comedy and heartfelt drama in telling the story of the ambitious Laura Pickler (Jennifer Garner), the self-anointed First Lady of Butter Carving. Refusing to accept that her husband (Ty Burrell) wants to step down after his 15-year run as the "Iowa State Butter Carving Champion," and therefore end the Pickler family's reign in the spotlight, Laura takes a stab at the title herself. But her bid for glory is complicated when two unlikely contestants enter the race – one, her husband's hard-living mistress (Olivia Wilde), and the other a 10-year-old foster child named Destiny (Yara Shahidi). Enlisting the help of her high school sweetheart, Boyd (Hugh Jackman), Laura will stop at nothing to be crowned champion, even if it means resorting to sabotage. Part political satire, part Capra-esque comedy, Butter is a story about what it means to win at all costs and against all odds. [Synopsis courtesy of TIFF]
A childless couple bury a box in their backyard, containing all of their wishes for an infant. Soon, a child is born, though Timothy Green is not all that he appears.

When Christy (Jennifer Garner) discovers her 10-year-old daughter Anna (Kylie Rogers) has a rare, incurable disease, she becomes a ferocious advocate for her daughter's healing as she searches for a solution. After Anna has a freak accident, an extraordinary miracle unfolds in the wake of her dramatic rescue that leaves medical specialists mystified, her family restored and their community inspired.
Inspired by a true story, Al Pacino stars as aging 1970s rocker Danny Collins, who can't give up his hard-living ways. But when his manager (Christopher Plummer) uncovers a 40 year-old undelivered letter written to him by John Lennon, he decides to change course and embarks on a heartfelt journey to rediscover his family, find true love and begin a second act.
11-year-old Alexander experiences the most terrible and horrible day of his young life – a day that begins with gum stuck in his hair, followed by one calamity after another. But when Alexander tells his upbeat family about the misadventures of his disastrous day, he finds little sympathy and begins to wonder if bad things only happen to him. He soon learns he is not alone when his mom, dad, brother, and sister all find themselves living through their own terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Anyone who says there is no such thing as a bad day just hasn't had one.
Men, Women and Children follows the story of a group of high school teenagers and their parents as they attempt to navigate the many ways the internet has changed their relationships, their communication, their self-image, and their love lives. The film attempts to stare down social issues such as video game culture, anorexia, infidelity, fame hunting, and the proliferation of illicit material on the internet. As each character and each relationship is tested, we are shown the variety of roads people choose – some tragic, some hopeful – as it becomes clear that no one is immune to this enormous social change that has come through our phones, our tablets, and our computers.
More than a dozen Angelenos navigate Valentine's Day from early morning until midnight. Three couples awake together, but each relationship will sputter; are any worth saving?

Delayed Departure: Will In-Flight Broadband Take Off?

- American
- Delta
- OnAir
- Panasonic
- Row44
In-flight broadband, since the days of Connexion by Boeing, has struggled to take off. Recently, the market has received new impetus, with a new generation of in-flight broadband providers, including Aircell, Row44, and Panasonic. While these providers have encountered barriers in introducing in-flight broadband over the past year, it appears that many of these have been overcome and now these providers are ready to begin large scale deployments. Several US airlines have committed to full fleet deployments, including American, Delta, and Southwest. While the economy continues to place pressure on the market, airlines appear to be planning beyond the current environment in making investments for in-flight communication technologies, such as in-flight broadband. This service will also have to compete with other emerging in-flight entertainment and communication services, such as DBS video offerings and GSM-based voice and data services (in international markets).
This report includes:
-Forecasts of broadband and DBS video, including installments, equipment revenues, usage, and usage revenues, with segmentation regarding the length of the flights.
-Expectations of in-flight IPTV introduction and ensuing revenue.
-Detailed comparisons of principal players, in terms of technologies, business models, and market share.
-Correlations with the hotspot market and strategies learned from terrestrial Wi-Fi services that can be applied to the in-flight market.

Direct Video Broadcast Competes with In-Flight Broadband for Airline Passenger Entertainment Dollars
Live broadcast video is also poised for significant growth in 2009, according to this latest report. While this service is more established than in-flight broadband, usage revenues are still anticipated to nearly double in 2009 to reach almost a quarter of a billion dollars, nearly five times the size of the in-flight broadband market.
However, the compelling demand for Wi-Fi connectivity among airline passengers drives higher growth for in-flight broadband. By 2011, in-flight broadband service revenue will exceed that of direct video broadcast, with in-flight broadband revenues of $761 million.
"The airline industry is desperately trying to better monetize its cabins," according to Frank Dickson, In-Stat Vice President of Research. "Direct video broadcast services and in-flight broadband services are two compelling ways that provide passengers with a better customer experience while allowing the airline industry to add incremental revenue. It is a true win/win."
Recent research found the following:
- The majority of direct video broadcast deployments belong to LiveTV, with Panasonic being their largest competitor.
- The author expects that, in later forecast years, IPTV will contribute a portion of in-flight video revenues.
- The number of broadband enabled airplanes will increase from 25 in 2008 to 800 in 2009.
- Airline passengers will generate over $47 million worldwide in 2009. In-flight broadband equipment revenue will nearly double between 2009 and 2013.
- The author forecasts over 200 million annual in-flight broadband connects by 2013, with long-haul connects dominating over short-haul connects.
Recent research, Delayed Departure: Will In-Flight Broadband Take Off?, covers the market for next-generation in-flight entertainment (IFE), with a focus on in-flight broadband services. The global report includes:
- Forecasts of in-flight broadband and DBS video, including installments, equipment revenues, usage, and usage revenues, with segmentation regarding the length of the flights.
- Expectations of in-flight IPTV introduction and ensuing revenue.
- Detailed comparisons of principal competitors and customers, in terms of technologies, business models, and market share.
- Correlations with the hotspot market and strategies learned from terrestrial Wi-Fi services that can be applied to the in-flight market.

No way to explain the timing.
Someone knows something.
It really sucks for longs who struggle with this every day, SHORT manipulation, they never loose (seemingly).
I hope they dine on rat dung.
The Street probably found out that Cowen was going to do an upgrade so they jammed it down the day before so the Shorts could get out. Then they started buying Thursday afternoon. It's a racket that individual investors can't fight. All we can do is go with the trend. Keep holding you will be rewarded in 2013.
Sentiment: Hold
and this surprises you? Did you really not know that theStreet is more crooked than the mob? Did you really not know they are just a front for the Hedge funds? You really didn't know this?
Amazing how people are so easily manipulated.
Sentiment: Buy

Last Day to Vote
The folks at Baseball Prospectus are running their annual Internet Baseball Awards which I find far more interesting and relevant than the ridiculous BBWAA vote. Today is the last day to vote though, so head on over.
- Cubs fan and PECOTA master Nate Silver of Baseball Prospectus (and occasional TCR reader) has branched out to politics with a new polling-analysis website. You can see his guest spot on The Colbert Report by following the link.
- More jokes at the expense of us Cubs fans courtesy of SNL and Bill Murray (go to about 3:30 left in the clip).
Re: Last Day to Vote
Mine, FWIW.
AL MVP: Hamilton, Morneau, Pedoria, Sizemore, ARod, Huff, M. Cabrera, Youkilis, Markakis, Quentin
NL MVP: Pujols, Wright, Beltran, Berkman, Howard, Utley, Reyes, H. Ramirez, McLouth, A. Gonzalez
AL Cy: Halladay, Lee, Santana, Burnett, KRod
NL Cy: Lincecum, Webb, Santana, Haren, Hamels
AL MOY: Gardie, Maddon, Gaston
NL MOY: Torre, LaRussa, Cox
Re: Last Day to Vote
Pinella doesn't deserve it. Not even close.
Torre is more deserving. Hell, Cooper and LaRussa deserve it more.
Re: Last Day to Vote
Maybe Manny should get the vote for MOY
Re: Last Day to Vote
a chunk of it has to do with voters wanting to blown away, not lulled into the extra 20-ish walks/hits leading to a .400-ish ob% taking importance over 20-ish more extra base hits.
voters also tend to not care about someone's walk/singles totals unless it's leading to runs or a good sb/cs percentage putting the guy on 2nd/3rd to score in better position.
hell, some voters don't even put that much thought into it...they just vote.
mvp voting has 1 mostly-consistant point...dominance of more than just 1 or 2 categories...
Re: Last Day to Vote
I think it's impossible to know exactly what a manager influences and does. But, I too think Pinella deserves it for the regular season. What he touched generally turned to gold for 97 wins this year, a good 10 wins above what I expected them to do.
Cards crashed and burned at the end, so I think that takes LaRussa out of it.
Even with a great September, the Dodgers still only won in the mid 80's.
Most everything was expected in the NL...but it wasn't expected that the Cubs would win 97 games and have the best record in the NL.
Re: Last Day to Vote
Well... I remember that BP had projected the Cubs offense to lead the league in OBP. The other 'surprise' this year was probably Dempster, who Pinhead should get some credit for putting in the rotation... however, Pinhead is the same guy who didn't put him in the rotation last year.
I like Sveum for manager of the year. Sveum, Sabathia, Ramirez... who's a rookie who came up late and did well? Smardizjia, those are my winners.
Re: What deal with the devil

As I recell those BP Internet awards follow the VORP ranking so closely there's no point in even doing them. Like taking a poll for who should be the VP at the Republican National Convention. Biased sample = biased results.

Re: Last Day to Vote
the internet awards tend to be a bit more sane at least...
they don't match up totally, but they're trying really hard to sell mauer on people this season.
last year it was LF holliday and his big park they were celebrating over SS rollins...this year's focus on mauer seems to be really odd and pretty much hinging on the fact he was the only AL catcher this year healthy or talented enough to put in a full season.
in the end it's the will of the people...granted, people that frequent their kool aid stand...that get to vote. they've done a pretty decent job historically.

Re: Last Day to Vote

Re: Last Day to Vote
My ballot:
AL MVP: K-Rod (I know its out there but if the Angels had Eric Gagne as their closer those 15+ games they won the division by would have turned into a tight 3 way race race with the Rangers and A's. Also its not like their is a hitter with eyepopping stats.) 2. Youklis 3. Mauer 4. Sizemore 5. Hamilton 6. Pedroia 7. Quentin 8. Longoria 9. Morneau 10. Lee
AL CY- Cliff Lee (Just too dominate as a SP to to give the award to a CL even if he is the MVP) 2. K-rod 3. Dice K 4. Mussina 5. Halladay
AL ROY- Evan Longoria 2. Alexi Ramirez 3.Denard Span
AL MOY Gardenhire (While the Rays were a surprise, everyone knew they had talent unlike the Twins) 2. Maddon 3. Ozzie
NL MVP Pujols (He showed how valuable he was this year by making guys who looked they were done (Glaus) and washed out (Ludwick) into solid contributors. He also lead the in BA and was up there in most everything else) 2. Berkman 3. Utley 4. Lidge 5. Howard 6. Sabathia 7. Chipper 8. Beltran 9. Soto 10. Hanram
NL CY Lincecum 2. Webb 3. Santana 4. Sabathia 5. Lidge
NL ROY- Soto 2. Joey Votto 3. Jair Jurrens
NL MOY Joe Torre (Found a way to mesh a team that was rebuilt at the trade deadline) 2. Fredi Gonzalez 3. Tony LaRussa
How I aspect the BWAA voting will go:
AL MVP Pedroia (East Coast writters just love scrappy white guys), AL CY Lee, AL ROY Longoria AL MOY Maddon
NL MVP Howard (BWAA loves the counting stats and East Coast guys making Howard too hard to pass up), NL CY Webb (Hey he had 21 wins!) NL ROY- Soto NL MOY Torre
Re: Last Day to Vote
So according to you, K-rod was the second best pitcher in the league but was somehow the most valuable? I must have missed all those HR he hit.
Re: Last Day to Vote
No that makes perfect sense. I voted for Soto for MVP and Fukudome for ROY. Ok, I really didn't.
Re: Last Day to Vote
The Cy Young is suppose to go the Best pitcher, while the Most VALUABLE Player award is suppose to go the player who is the most imporant to a team's success. Given all the 1 or 2 run games the Angels won having K-rod instead of a league average closer likely gave the Angels more wins than Mauer gave to the Twins or Pedroia gave to the Red Sox. If the award was meant as an award to be strictly given away to the best player in any year, Sizemore would be running away with it.
Re: Last Day to Vote
a lot would argue MVP goes to the best player, period.
how important a player is to a team matters, but they do tend to be above average in a number of categories rather than being simply a team leader with few peers on other teams.
when i think "MVP" i think the player who could walk onto any of 30 teams and not only do well, but dominate a number of categories.
Re: Last Day to Vote
If you were a manager and had the Angels bullpen, and instead of K-rod you had Gagne, and you used Gagne as your closer instead of someone else, you would be fired by July. You are using an illogical and unrealistic example to try and prove your point.
Re: Last Day to Vote
That's why Fukudome should get ROY. Yeah, he struggled, but if Paul Bako was playing RF for the Cubs, they probably would have lost a lot more games.
Re: Last Day to Vote
OK I still doubt there a 90 win team if Sheilds is their closer.
Re: Last Day to Vote
So Sheilds [sic] would blown at least 10 saves? And the team would have lost those 10 blown saves? Heh.
The MLB leaders in blown saves were Gregg and Corpas, with nine (9) each. The MLB leader in losses was 10.
I am pretty confident that Scott Shields would have had less than 10 blown saves and less than ten losses, or he would not have remained the closer.
The Angels would have won more than 90 games with or without KRod.
Re: Last Day to Vote
K-rod wasn't even the best pitcher in the Angels bullpen. Hello Jose Arredondo, the Angels closer in 2009.

SAN DIEGO (AP)—Jose Canseco was held for nearly 10 hours by immigration authorities after agents said they stopped the former baseball star as he attempted to bring a fertility drug from Mexico, his lawyer said Friday.
Canceco was detained at San Diego's San Ysidro border crossing Thursday after agents searched his vehicle and said they found human chorionic gonadotropin, which is illegal without a prescription, said his attorney, Gregory Emerson.
Emerson declined to say if Canseco—who admitted to using steroids in a 2005 book that also alleged steroid use by other baseball players—had the drug, which is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency for use in males. The drug helps restore production of testosterone lost in steroid users.
A spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Virginia Kice, said Canseco was ordered to appear in federal court in San Diego "related to an alleged smuggling violation" Thursday at a U.S. border crossing. She declined to elaborate.
Canseco has not been charged with a crime, Kice said. If he were to be charged, it would happen at his court appearance.

Maddon would have started three lefties against the Dodgers, Montgomery, Zastryzny and Lester, except that he doesn't have the juice to do that. No manager does. Maddon has a boss, Epstein (and probably Hoyer, too), who gave him a starting rotation of five guys including Hammel. Maddon was asked yesterday about the starting group for next year and basically said, Not my call, that's why I drive away in my RV in the summer and occasionally check in, etc.
video of Maddon.
always nice that he actually tries to honestly answer questions. Does mention that he wanted to give Zastr? a chance in a meaningful spot rather than a mop-up role.
from Muskat:
#Cubs Maddon: "I'm not going to make up an excuse for why I did what I did. It has nothing to do with lack of confidence" ... "It was the right thing to do today based on what I saw, what their lineup looked like and Rob Z.'s availability." #Cubs
Hammel not particularly understanding of getting pulled out...as he should. Be curious what Maddon had to say. All I can think of is is keeping arms fresh and maybe wanting to see if Zastr? is worth considering for the playoffs and how he'd do against the Dodgers.
great defense
Heyward, Russell, Baez, Bryant, Ross in particular...although Bryant's a bit hard to judge with all the positions.
Fowler and Rizzo in the top half of the NL for their positions as well (per fangraphs)...Zobrist right at the halfway cutoff for 2b in the NL.
I'm sure some luck is involved too, but the Cubs and Maddon knew what they were doing.
If all the starters have FIP > ERA, is that luck or good defense?
#Cubs plummet to 19-5 in August.
Fun with FIP
- J. Hammel 3.07 ERA/4.27 FIP (3.68 FIP last year)
- J. Arrieta 2.62 ERA/3.05 FIP (2.35 FIP last year)
- J. Lester 2.81 ERA/3.67 FIP (2.92 FIP last year)
- K. Hendricks 2.19 ERA/3.37 FIP (3.36 FIP last year)
- J. Lackey 3.41 ERA/3.72 FIP (3.57 FIP last year with Cards)
zastyryzryzryzny put in 3.2ip 1h 0bb 3k
he's great when his control is "on"...problem is it's rarely "on" consistently. he could vault up the cubs prospect list if he ever gets better with that aspect of his game.
JD's take was just trying to get in a lefty to better deal with mostly lefty Dodgers lineup.
My second thought was what you came up with. My first thought was he was trying to light a fire under Hammel.
Maybe he was trying to spare him another brutal road start? NY, Colorado...
joe got a pitcher up for hammel at nearly the 1st sign of trouble in the 3rd...pulled after 2.1
not injured and though it wasn't his day so far he wasn't looking like a pure disaster.
really short leash on him. zastryznzryzryny in.
Russell and Soler can attest that Urias has a pretty good curve/slider - two big strikeouts looking to get out of that jam in the first.
Classic Scully - great stuff.
Thank God we'll still have Hawk next season. (cricket cricket cricket)
Here's Scully's call on Bryant's 10th-inning homer:
"And it's a long fly ball, a mean fly ball, and a gone fly ball."
When the Cubs were the old, hundred-year Cubs, one bad hop did not undo their opponents.

I think the reason behind docking all points for constructor's championship is precisely because of those iffy team orders to favour one car over another...
I think Alonso was just teaching LH a lesson because of what he did to him earlier. This internal bashing between pilots is becoming increasingly difficult to watch for everyone and i think the FIA's had enough of this.
Dennis needs to clean the crap that's going on in his paddocks. If they continue like this, then the animosity between the 2 pilots will go on and on, and it can become another very ugly episode in the history of F1.
Docking points for McLaren as a whole is the only way for the FIA to express their discontent. And noone needs to see the 2 pilots going at it on the track and causing a major , possibly fatal crash.
My guess is after this Alonso will leave McLaren especially if there are other good cars out there. Maybe BMW ?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Surely, the only reason for docking of points was to try and give ferrari a helping hand.they were always helped to win.

Jackass! Were they helped in 2002?
"In 2002, Schumacher and Ferrari dominated F1, the Ferrari duo winning 15 out of 17 races (Schumacher 11, Barrichello 4)"
That would be a chance for Alonso, but as of today BMW's edge (or any other team's but McLaren and Ferrari) would make Alonso compete for a GP2-class championship, rather than F1, or Alonso should get a telescope to watch McLaren and Ferrari orbiting around his car. You'll see today how fast Heidfeld will disappear from the spotlights after his pit stop...

When I got in touch with the guy to confirm he pressured me to purchase accessories. He told me the batteries that came with the products would only last 20min and offered a 12 hour battery for an exorbitant price.
When I declined all accessories he told me that I was getting the foreign version of the products and that if anything happened to them I would have to ship them overseas. I told him I was fine with that.
THEN he tells me that the products I ordered are all in Japanese. He offered to change the products to the "American version" which entailed a much higher retail price.
At that point I told him to cancel the order. He said fine and hung up. I received an email stating the order was canceled.

Opinion: I'm fat, so what?
- From: Kidspot.com.au
- March 26, 2013
PERHAPS I'm fixated on it because it's a topic very close to my heart, but the media seems rife lately with people thinking it's okay to judge people for being fat.
Adele, some poor kid's mum, anytime anyone mentions Chrissie Swan.
Why does what someone weighs bother people so darn much? Since when did someone's weight become public property? And when did it become okay to insult someone so publicly, so shamelessly?
I've honestly had it up. to. here.
What someone weighs is absolutely none of anyone else's business but their own.
Being fat doesn't make you a failure, a disaster, an embarrassment. It doesn't point to any particular personality flaw, character type, discipline issue or "lack of control". It doesn't make you ugly, dirty, slovenly or (unfortunately) thick skinned. It shouldn't make you a target, it shouldn't mean you have to "ignore the haters", it shouldn't mean you are open to being called names in the street, it shouldn't mean you feel unsexy or undesirable.
Good for you if you were born loving carrots and taking comfort in celery. If you've never eaten just because you're bored, never said "just one more", never found great pleasure in lashings of butter on a warm bread roll. Or cheese. Or croissants straight from the oven. Or chocolate ice cream eaten straight from the tub. Or jam.
Extra points if you love waking up at 5am and going for a run. If you've always enjoyed exercise and pushing yourself and "going for it". I admire your discipline and determination and I'm happy that you've "never had a weight problem". With respect, if you've never had a weight problem, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about if you judge and demean those that have.
And by the way, it's absolutely possible to be entirely healthy and carry extra pounds so don't use "it's a drain on the public health system" as an excuse for your mean judgement of others. Trying to make out that a person's weight is somehow your business and you can say whatever you like because you pay taxes?What's with that? People are not statistics and generalisations have never been fair.
We might have an "ideal body type" in society, but what we're actually dealing with are lots and lots and lots of different deals. We have all been dealt different cards in life and we all have something unique and special to offer. Some of us are especially kind and loving, others are witty and smart - or pretty and stylish or caring and giving or calm and confident; lots of us are all of those things.
What we weigh has nothing whatsoever to do with who we are and what we are capable of.
Please, for godsake, please stop making fat people feel so miserable about themselves and the way they live. Instead, try reminding them that being overweight is just one part of who they are and not the most important part, not even close.
Maybe I can change my weight one day, but so far it's taken me 25 years and even then I'm still not as "thin" as I'm supposed to be, as I want to be. I know I'll keep trying to become thinner until the day I die, but only because I've invested so much of myself - for so many, many years - that I don't want to "give up trying".
Despite the stereotypes, us fatties are actually some of the most tenacious, determined people I know. Set-back after set-back after set-back after set-back, yet still we are there, trying again and again.
After years of feeling inferior because I was bigger than other people, one day I just decided that I was going to live my life wholly, freely and with pride, no matter what I weighed. The minute I made that decision, it seemed ridiculous. Ridiculous that I would even have to tell myself such a thing.
Stop judging me for who I am. We all have something about ourselves we'd like to change. Something we're working on as hard as we can.
Stop making me feel like I should be miserable, just because I eat too much.
I'd rather be fat than nasty.
Have your say

Seriously? Media may put the focus on the vanity side but health is very important. Being obese is NOT healthy. I'm not suggesting size 0 is healthy but as long as your doctor's happy with your diet and your getting enough nutrients that's reasonable. All your guilt is self inflicted because you know better. So love yourself by looking after yourself. Let a treat be a treat and its more enjoyable.
K Deans of Upwey Posted at 4:00 PM March 26, 2013
Having read the posts here, one thing seems to be crystal clear - we are terribly judgmental of others. So sad. Of course, all those people who are saying that the writer is in denial, that she is misguided, that she is a drain on the public health system... you know her personally, of course? Because clearly, you seem to think your opinion is paramount. I think the point of the article was a request for people to keep their opinions to themselves on the subject of weight. Why does the way other people look offend so many?
Rose of Perth Posted at 3:59 PM March 26, 2013
I work in public health and as someone who constantly has to manually handle overweight and obese patients as part of my job, I think I have every right to be judgemental. Some of my past patients are so huge in size that they cannot even lift their own legs into bed, or sit upright, and therefore rely on other able bodied persons to do basic tasks for them. On more than one occasion myself and collegues have had to refuse treatment of patients because handling the overweight person would be putting our own health at risk. Don't get me wrong, I am a larger person myself, but I work very hard to stop myself from getting to a stage where my weight is a health concern. Exercise and restraint is not something to be sneered at, it should be practiced by everyone. The strain these people put on the public health system is serious, and encouraging them to take better care of themselves through exercise and healthy eating is essential. However it is NEVER ok to publically shame or insult someone, no matter the size of their public profile (or body).

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
Thanks to a grant from The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, McColl Center for Visual Art in Charlotte, NC, is recruiting nationally renowned artists to elevate the Center's visibility in the Charlotte community, nation and world. Foundation support helped the Center convene a national Curatorial Advisory Board. The board, composed of Andrea Barnwell Brownlee, Director of the Spellman College Art Museum, Atlanta, Silvia Cubina, Director of the Bass Art Museum, Miami and Alexander Gray of Alexander Gray Associates, New York, is advising the Center on strategies to bring celebrated contemporary artists to the Charlotte region. The first Knight Foundation artists are expected to be in residence in June 2011.

With the whole multisite thing, I am trying to consolidate my sites. I have a couple of podcast pages that live in separate wordpress installations within the same domain (ie... 'domain/fm' and 'domain/podcast' ). I want to bring them both into 'domain/' and use category casting.
What is the best method to fully migrate these sites including podpress? I used the plugin "WordPress Importer" which is convincing except the I am not sure the audio is connecting.
I think I could probably workaround that, however my main problem is in the migration of stats.
Any help is most appreciated. Thanks!

We examine the use of auditory display for ubiquitous computing to extend the boundaries of human-computer interaction (HCI). Our design process is based on listening tests, gathering free text identification responses from participants. The responses and their classifications indicate how accurately sounds are identified and help us identify possible metaphors and mappings of sound to human action and/or system status.
Interactive systems, Auditory (non-speech) feedback, and Sonification
