Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.
Alfred Hitchcock (1899 - 1980)
Contributed by: Zaady
We seem to have a compulsion these days to bury time capsules in order to give those people living in the next century or so some idea of what we are like. I have prepared one of my own. I have placed some rather large samples of dynamite, gunpowder, and nitroglycerin. My time capsule is set to go off in the year 3000. It will show them what we are really like.

Poonam Pandey's 'Hot' Ice Bucket Challenge Gets Ridiculed!
While, ALS ice bucket challenge has been the trending topic since long, hot Poonam Pandey could not resist from jumping into the bandwagon.
Known for her publicity stunts, Poonam Pandey took up the ice bucket challenge in her own hot way.
Poonam Pandey recently posted a video on her Twitter page in which she is seen taking up the ice bucket challenge inside her bathroom wearing a bikini.
The diva who is also known for her ever-readiness to strip, mentioned in the video that two RJs from Red FM nominated her for the challenge.
However, the most interesting part of the act was Poonam in turn nominated names of Bollywood's three Khans, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan for the challenge.
On the other side, Poonam Pandey's 'hot' ice bucket challenge with her not-so-real English accent claimed around 75 thousand views in just 12 hours on YouTUbe but considering the comments that the clip received, it seems Poonam Pandey's ice bucket act did not go so 'cool' with several others.

Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson: President Jefferson
It's a great irony of history that Jefferson ended up owing his presidency to his greatest political rival. Jefferson's vice-presidential running mate in 1800 was the sordid Aaron Burr, an opportunist from New York. Because of poor planning by Republican electors and a quirk in the way the Electoral College worked at the time, Burr and Jefferson finished the presidential race in an exact tie. As a result, per the Constitution's instructions, it fell to the House of Representatives to decide the winner. Since the new Republican Congress had yet to take office the House was still controlled by the Federalists—who now had a great opportunity to make mischief. Although Jefferson was clearly intended to be the presidential candidate and Burr his vice-president, Federalist leaders thought of giving the presidency to Burr in exchange for special political favors. Hamilton was incensed. He may have opposed Jefferson, and hated Adams, but he loathed Burr. Hamilton judged Burr dishonest and untrustworthy. When he heard what his Federalist peers were planning, he campaigned vigorously for his old rival Thomas Jefferson, ensuring his selection. The whole episode left Jefferson deeply suspicious of Burr, who would play almost no role in Jefferson's administration—until, of course, he killed Alexander Hamilton in their infamous 1804 duel by pistols.
Although Jefferson arrived in office in 1801 preaching reconciliation, his political program was frankly partisan. Jefferson wanted nothing less than to dismantle the Federalists' government. He appointed his Republican protégés to cabinet posts, repealed the Federalists' 1801 Judiciary Act, freed those imprisoned under the Alien and Sedition Acts, and dedicated the vast bulk of the government's revenues to paying down Hamilton's national debt.
His fight against the Federalists made Jefferson very popular. Many ordinary citizens saw the president as a man of the people, fighting against the aristocratic Federalists. They even sent him gifts to show their support. Famously, Massachusetts farmers sent Jefferson a massive 1235-pound wheel of Cheddar Cheese, which the president was fond of showing to foreign dignitaries.5 Jefferson had run for president in order to dismantle the Federalists' vision for America and he was, by and large, very successful at doing so once in office.
But that isn't what we usually remember Jefferson's presidency for, at least not today. When we think back on Jefferson's presidency, we tend to recall two related events—his purchase of the Louisiana Territory, and his organization of the Lewis and Clark expedition.
Jefferson had always been interested in the West. During his brief service in the Continental Congress, he had helped author the Northwest Ordinance, which structured how the West would be settled. Jefferson saw westward expansion as the country's future. In 1803, after learning that the French had acquired Louisiana from the Spanish, Jefferson saw an opportunity to see that future realized. He dispatched representatives to Napoleon in Paris, with instructions to try to purchase the city of New Orleans. When Napoleon offered them the entire Louisiana Territory for $15 Million (about four cents an acre), Jefferson jumped at the opportunity, forcing the treaty through Congress before Napoleon could change his mind. The Louisiana Purchase effectively doubled the size of the United States overnight.
For months before, Jefferson had been planning a reconnaissance of Western North America. At the time, it was widely believed that a "Northwest Passage" of rivers and lakes connected the eastern United States to the Pacific Ocean. If this Northwest Passage could be found, it would open up new markets for American goods, and so prove a huge boon to American manufacturing. Jefferson had enlisted his personal secretary, Meriwether Lewis, to lead the search for the Passage. Planning for the expedition was already in full swing when Jefferson acquired the Louisiana Territory. With so much new country to explore, Jefferson tweaked the aim of Lewis's trip, encouraging him to map the Territory and make diplomatic contact with inland American Indian tribes. The trip was to be a huge success.
Between the expansion of the western frontier and the fight against the Federalists, Jefferson became a popular hero. Despite a vicious election campaign, Jefferson and his Republicans cruised to another landslide victory in 1804. But in his second term, Jefferson's boldness started to catch up with him. In his zeal for Republican causes, Jefferson could be a little un-Republican. The Louisiana Purchase impressed Congress, but some Republicans worried that Jefferson's had violated the Constitution. Where did it say the President had the power to purchase land? Their anxieties mounted when Jefferson pushed for newspaper censorship during the 1804 presidential election. His continuing attempts to buy Florida from Spain finally drove some Republicans into the opposition. They formed a third party, the Tertium Quids, which harassed Jefferson's plans in Congress. About the same time Aaron Burr, Jefferson's former VP, shot and killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel, and then fled to the Southwest. There he started planning half-brained military campaigns that force Jefferson to seek his arrest.
With Jefferson facing an insurrection in Congress and a former VP on the loose, international pressures began to mount as the wars in Europe grew more intense. England and France were locked in a battle for continental dominance, and Britain was hungry for more manpower. His Majesty's Navy increased its impressment of American sailors, putting the United States in a tough spot. Jefferson did not want to risk war with Britain or build up a large navy to protect the American fleet, but he felt he had to do something. He pushed for a boycott of British goods, to try and weaken the British economy. Why he thought it might work is a mystery. The 1807 Embargo Act, which Jefferson forced through Congress, destroyed much of the United States' shipping industry and created a massive smuggling trade up the Saint Lawrence River, without inflicting any significant cost on the British. The embargo has been recognized as one of the ten worst presidential blunders in US history.6 Needless to say, impressment continued unabated.
The stress seems to have gotten to Jefferson. By the end of his second term, Jefferson had retreated so far into himself that James Madison had already assumed responsibility for most of the president's duties. As he did whenever he felt beaten, Jefferson dreamed of heading home. When Madison won the next presidential election in 1808, Jefferson was finally able to fulfill his long-stated goal of retiring from politics. On 4 March 1809, he hung around Washington just long enough to see Madison's inauguration before departing for Monticello. This time, he swore, he was going home for good. For once, he was right.

New guidance issued by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) aims to help participants and beneficiaries with the "decumulation" phase of retirement planning by requiring sponsors to provide illustrations of lifetime retirement income.
In the intervening three years, DOL and IRS officials have repeatedly indicated their interest in facilitating lifetime income for defined contribution plan participants.
More recently, the DOL and IRS have begun issuing written guidance. For example, in 2012, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS released an initial package of guidance intended to remove regulatory barriers and simplify the offering of lifetime income benefits to retirees. For more information about that guidance, which focuses primarily on how the minimum distribution rules, joint and survivor rules, and disclosure rules apply to longevity annuity contracts, click here.
Then, in May 2013, the DOL issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (the Notice) describing lifetime income disclosure regulations that the DOL is considering issuing. According to the DOL, the proposed rules would modify the requirements governing the benefit statements issued to participants and beneficiaries in defined contribution plans. By way of background, plan administrators currently are required to notify participants and beneficiaries of the fair market value of their account balances as of the last day of the period covered by the statement. The DOL is considering modifying these rules to require plan administrators to provide the following additional information:
The benefit statement also would be required to provide an understandable explanation of the assumptions used to project the account balance to normal retirement age and to convert these account balances into lifetime income streams. In addition, the benefit statement would contain a disclaimer that projections are estimates only and not guarantees. According to the DOL, the presentation of this data on a participant's or beneficiary's benefit statement might look something like this:
Current Balance
Projected Balance
Monthly Payment
Projected Account Balance
For a participant or beneficiary who has not yet reached normal retirement age, the benefit statement would show the current dollar value of his or her projected account balance at normal retirement age. The projection would utilize assumptions about future contribution amounts (employer and employee), investment returns and inflation adjustments. The Notice describes the contemplated standards, rules and assumptions that a plan administrator would have to follow when projecting account balances.
Estimated Lifetime Income Streams
The benefit statement would provide estimated lifetime monthly income streams based on the participant's or beneficiary's current account balance and—for a participant or beneficiary who has not reached normal retirement age—his or her projected account balance. The conversion of the projected account balance would remain in current dollars, thereby giving a participant or beneficiary an estimate of his or her buying power upon reaching retirement. The Notice assumes that the form of payment would be calculated as a single life annuity and, if the participant or beneficiary were married, a single life annuity with a 50 percent survivor's benefit.
Additional resources
In addition to the Notice, the DOL published a fact sheet on lifetime income illustrations and a lifetime income calculator.
Next Steps
Once again, the Notice merely indicates that the DOL intends to issue proposed rules on lifetime income disclosures at a later date. The DOL would need to formally issue proposed regulations, provide a public comment period and issue final regulations before lifetime income disclosure obligations would apply. The DOL is soliciting comments by July 8, 2013; more than 50 comments have been submitted to date, and one coalition of associations representing plan sponsors and service providers has already requested a 30-day extension of the deadline. The DOL has asked for comments on a variety of issues, including the following:
To the last point, some commenters have questioned whether the authority upon which the DOL proposes to act is sufficiently broad to allow the DOL to mandate these new disclosure requirements (although the Lifetime Income Disclosure Act recently re-introduced by a bi-partisan group of lawmakers in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives would require annual lifetime income disclosures for defined contribution plans such as 401(k) plans and would expressly provide fiduciary relief for providing such disclosures (more on that concern below)).
It may be tempting to critique the Notice as limiting the ways in which lifetime income streams could be calculated, or as creating an additional participant or beneficiary disclosure obligation for plan administrators. However, in actuality, the Notice signals a change that could be beneficial for plan administrators as well as for participants and beneficiaries.
Specifically, many larger plans already provide some tool (often through the plan's investment education/advice feature) that allows participants and beneficiaries to project lifetime income streams in order to address retirement adequacy, a business imperative for many large employers. ("Retirement adequacy" means employees have sufficient savings to support themselves in retirement. If employers cannot demonstrate to employees that they can afford to retire, employees may continue to work merely because they cannot afford to retire.) To address this concern, as noted above, some forward-thinking plan sponsors have begun to explore in-plan annuity arrangements, even in advance of DOL and IRS guidance. Having a DOL-sanctioned methodology (including safe harbors) for providing lifetime income illustrations should provide welcome protection from some of the fiduciary liability associated with educating participants and beneficiaries on the "decumulation" phase of their retirement. However, before many plan fiduciaries consider offering actual lifetime income distribution options (as opposed to lifetime income illustrations), they would like to see the DOL provide fiduciary protection for the purchase of annuities and alleviate some of the administrative challenges to offering in-plan annuities posed by the transferability and liquidity requirements of Section 404(c) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. (The solutions to other administrative challenges to in-plan annuities falls within the purview of the IRS rather than the DOL.)
Many participants and beneficiaries currently are simply unable to calculate the monthly retirement income that their plan account balance may buy them, and may be under the mistaken impression that they have sufficiently planned for retirement based on what they view to be their large 401(k) plan account balance. An illustration of expected lifetime income, while sobering, hopefully will go a long way towards increasing participants' savings rates. Once participants and beneficiaries become familiar with their lifetime income illustrations, they may be better able to plan for issues such as the need for longevity annuities (addressed in the IRS guidance described above) and the need to pay significant retiree medical expenses (estimated at $220,000 by one recent study).

Gary (given name)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Gary and Garry are English language masculine given names.
Gary is likely derived from compound names of Germanic origin, composed of the element gar ("spear").[1][2][3]
Although the names Gary and Gareth are etymologically unrelated, the former being of Germanic origin and the latter of Celtic origin, Gary is sometimes taken as a pet form of Gareth.[1][2] In fact, the popularity of Gareth has been influenced by the popularity of Gary.[2] A variant form of Gary is Garry, the spelling of which has been influenced by that of Barry. An informal pet form of Gary is Gaz,[1][2] a variant of which is Gazza.[1]
A given name associated with Gary and Garry is Garrison; the latter is sometimes borne by sons of men bearing the former names.[2][4] The Gaelic Garaidh is also associated with Gary.[2]
The usage of Gary as a given name is intertwined with the success of the actor Gary Cooper (originally Frank Cooper). The American industrialist Elbert Henry Gary left his name to the town of Gary, Indiana. The theatrical agent Nan Collins, who lived in this town, suggested the name Gary to Frank Cooper, one of her clients. Cooper thus adopted the name Gary and enjoyed a successful film career (as Gary Cooper) which caused the name to become popular. The name's popularity was further maintained by the popularity of cricketer Gary Sobers (whose first name was actually a pet form of Garfield),[1][2] footballer Gary Lineker (b. 1960),[1] and musician Gary Glitter (originally Paul Gadd).[2]
According to the Social Security Administration,[5] Gary was relatively rare as a given name in the 1900-1920s period (e.g., in the 1910s it was the 677th most frequent name, given to less than 0.01% of the babies born in that decade). In the 1930s, 0.38% of the male babies in the United States were named Gary, and in the 1950s as many as 1.54% of the male babies were given this name, making it the 12th most popular given name of that decade.
The name Gary reached its record popularity (9th place) in 1954, the year after Gary Cooper received his Best Actor Academy Award for his leading role in High Noon. Since then, the popularity of Gary as a given name in the United States has been on a very slow, but steady decline. In the 1990s, this name was the 170th most popular, given to around 0.1% of newborn males.
In the United Kingdom, its popularity peaked during the 1960s (it was the 16th most popular male name in 1964) and still ranked as high as 26th in 1984, but by the 1990s had fallen out of the top 100.[6]

Am not sure the D700 would be more expensive, if you could find one new that is. The venerable D700 is a four year old design. it is a larger better built camera with more focus points, but the D600 is faster and has a better sensor, and shoots video.
This sums it up nicely...

The D700 has been proven over a 4 year period. I have two, and my only complaints are that I have had rubber coverings loosen twice now and the hot shoes are disasters if you use an SB800 or larger flash very often. I have read that some people are getting oil spots on one area of their sensor on the D600, from somewhere inside the camera. But not owning one, I don't know that to be factual -- so maybe I should not repeat that. But it's out there. All being equal, it gets you into an FX camera at a lower cost for a new body, although there are a growing number of really nice used D700s at some amazing prices. I may grab a third one soon!

Have been using the D700 for over four years and it is the best camera I have ever owned. I am not at all impressed with Nikon's D600/D800 offerings. A legitimate successor for the D700 would be a D4 in a D700 type body with a commensurate reduction in weight and price.

I don't believe the D600 is superior to the D700. If you go to the Nikon USA site and select sort by featured, it sits below it. Yes it has more megapixels and wider dynamic range, but a newer camera by four years should have. The D600 can shoot @ 5.5, the D700 with grip can shoot at eight. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the D600 can't shoot uncompressed 14 bit files unless it is tethered. I also like the older 3 position focus selector switch. My guess is that if you want to change from single servo to continuous, it's in a menu?
Then there is the build quality, and the dust problems on the D600 sensor (reported by more than one site, wow Nikon needs to get its act together! With the D600, D800 problems I'm glad I have a D700), (Build them cheaper and people will still buy? Is this Nikon's new thinking?) Don't get me wrong I love Nikon, just surprised by the recent camera problems. I would have liked to have had a D800, but now I'm not so sure. And the only true replacement would be a D750 or D900 with 16 MP, ect.

Your guess is wrong - one can change AF Mode on the D600 by pressing the AF-mode button (in the centre of the AF/MF switch) and rotating the main command dial. That's the same method as the D800 and D4.

It's really a matter of how you line up the features. I placed an order for a D800 with no specs more than a year before its release. I was looking for a D700 upgrade - and pleasantly surprised with the D800. The added pixels of the D800 are a big positive for my style of shooting. The improved dynamic range, color rendition, and some of the other features are positives. My first images from the D800 were simply stunning - a completely different look than any of my earlier cameras.
I've been using the D600 for about a month trying to give a chance for any issues to be worked out before ultimately converting it to IR. I want a full frame IR camera and the D600 is superior in several respects to a D700. Some of the key positives are twice the pixels, better dynamic range, better color rendition, and a lighter body. And it has a movie capability that is increasingly important. The list price of the D600 is 30% lower than the D700 was before end of life discounting.
The controls of the D600 take some getting used to. The body is slightly larger than a D7000 - enough to matter in a positive way. There are some control changes with the smaller body footprint. I don't really care for the ISO button being moved from the top. But the AF controls are better once you get used to them - you can see the settings though the viewfinder so changes can be made faster on the fly. This feature is common to the D7000 and D800. It just takes getting used to the new layout.
There is one other advantage for the D600 that could be relevant for IR conversion. The D700 has an IR light that is used to ensure shutter speed accuracy. This light was causing some long exposure fogging of IR images on a D700. The D600 has corrected that issue.
Based on my experience with the D600, it's a very good camera. Nothing I have seen takes away the fact that the D700 is also a very good camera - and there are some specific areas where the D700 has advantages over the D600 (build and frame rate). But my experience in handling the D600, D700, and D800 is that the two newer X00 cameras are very good and represent upgrades from the D700.
Obviously there is still a gap for those who want a high frame rate. A sports and wildlife camera with 8-10 fps would be a nice move. The challenge here is whether you want a DX camera for the crop, or an FX camera - and how big will your images be. Either way the high frame rates are going to be limited by file size and you have a tradeoff to make. I could see a 16mp camera with 9-10 fps.

i think the free role is fine against the likes of norwich, no offense to them but we are strong enough to do that. but against the bigger teams i would like to see more formation and seeing players in there positions.bale with a free role to run anywhere is a frightening thought for any team, lots of teams double up on him like villa did, but if hes all over the pitch then its not so easy. that might just cause other teams problems. cant wait till tomorrows game to see if arry lets bale of the leash again.

In their earliest encounters with Asia, Europeans almost uniformly characterized the people of China and Japan as white. This was a means of describing their wealth and sophistication, their willingness to trade with the West, and their presumed capacity to become Christianized. But by the end of the seventeenth century the category of whiteness was reserved for Europeans only. When and how did Asians become "yellow" in the Western imagination? Looking at the history of racial thinking, Becoming Yellow explores the notion of yellowness and shows that this label originated not in early travel texts or objective descriptions, but in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century scientific discourses on race.
From the walls of an ancient Egyptian tomb, which depicted people of varying skin tones including yellow, to the phrase "yellow peril" at the beginning of the twentieth century in Europe and America, Michael Keevak follows the development of perceptions about race and human difference. He indicates that the conceptual relationship between East Asians and yellow skin did not begin in Chinese culture or Western readings of East Asian cultural symbols, but in anthropological and medical records that described variations in skin color. Eighteenth-century taxonomers such as Carl Linnaeus, as well as Victorian scientists and early anthropologists, assigned colors to all racial groups, and once East Asians were lumped with members of the Mongolian race, they began to be considered yellow.
Demonstrating how a racial distinction took root in Europe and traveled internationally, Becoming Yellow weaves together multiple narratives to tell the complex history of a problematic term.

State-dependent architecture of thalamic reticular subnetworks.
Picower Institute for Learning and Memory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.
Behavioral state is known to influence interactions between thalamus and cortex, which are important for sensation, action, and cognition. The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) is hypothesized to regulate thalamo-cortical interactions, but the underlying functional architecture of this process and its state dependence are unknown. By combining the first TRN ensemble recording with psychophysics and connectivity-based optogenetic tagging, we found reticular circuits to be composed of distinct subnetworks. While activity of limbic-projecting TRN neurons positively correlates with arousal, sensory-projecting neurons participate in spindles and show elevated synchrony by slow waves during sleep. Sensory-projecting neurons are suppressed by attentional states, demonstrating that their gating of thalamo-cortical interactions is matched to behavioral state. Bidirectional manipulation of attentional performance was achieved through subnetwork-specific optogenetic stimulation. Together, our findings provide evidence for differential inhibition of thalamic nuclei across brain states, where the TRN separately controls external sensory and internal limbic processing facilitating normal cognitive function.
