I really hope after he leaves the company can become better. Android has done what Microsoft was suppose to do in the past decade. Come on Microsoft we all expect better from you.

Actually we gonna miss him.
Don't forget than at his time was made Windows 8. And W8 concept is the future.
Agree that RT was mistake
Actually Windows 8 killed the RT.
Why should MS build RT(agree it's much better than iOS, though) , when they build W8, just to take over the toys, and kill them?

We'll miss him simply because he didn't lay back and take it [more than he already did] from Apple and Google? As CEO of Microsoft he's personally responsible for overseeing a time that saw Microsoft neither innovate in the tablet market nor the smartphone market, but rather need to react to outside changes.
I'd commend him for other things, such as his success with the Xbox 360, but how he's dealt with competition in the consumer tablet and smartphone market has been nothing short of slow and confusing.

Speaketh for yourself, I'm not going to miss "IT"!!
And, if this rumour is true, instead of letting him exit "stage right", Microsoft should put him in a cage and hang him [in Iraq] for his stint as a "do nothing and ruin everything"!!

If you compare Windows RT to Windows 8 you are doing it wrong. I know you mean well but what's killing RT is people that refuse to take RT what it for a front against iOS and Android. Look at it in that light. Compare it that way!

How do you compare, android to microsoft?

Why not promote elop to ceo? He practically gave them nokia

How is getting $1 Billion dollars a year considered "practically giving away a company." Also if it weren't for WP, Nokia would not be one of the top phone manufacturers in the world again.
4. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3724; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
Nokia isn't one of the top phone manufacturers in the world.
6. brrunopt (Posts: 742; Member since: 15 Aug 2013)
what ? is the 2nd largest PHONE manufacturer..
http: //boygeniusreport.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/sa-mobile-phones-q2-2013.png?w=942
As for smartphones it's not on top 5 yet but is growing well
13. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3724; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
I realize that, but he said WP made Nokia one of the top phone manufacturers. WP. Clearly, he was referring to smartphones & because of that, he is clearly wrong. Nokia is one of the top phone manufacturers because of their feature phones, not because of WP.
14. papss (unregistered)
And you said they weren't one of the top phone manufactures which you are also incorrect because they are one of the top phone manufactures just not smart phones. Look at your number 4 post again.
26. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3724; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
Whatever, guy. Cry about it. I was referring to smartphones. Get over the fact that your company blows.
33. papss (unregistered)
Say what you mean then. I'm not crying but if you are going to get on him for wording then you need to do the same. Again say what you mean. Also nice resorting to the last line. Its not my company but its the one I prefer.
41. pookiewood (Posts: 631; Member since: 05 Mar 2012)
WOE! WOE! WOE! No need to say Nokia blows. Why did you have to take it there? It was a great discussion until that.
7. papss (unregistered)
Wow way to pull from a credible source...
11. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3724; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
Whether or not you believe it's a credible source, those are the same numbers you'd find anywhere else, so your comment is pointless.
15. sats.mine2k4 (banned) (Posts: 208; Member since: 10 Aug 2012)
If it weren't WP Nokia would have been one in the top 3 smartphone manufacturers... Just release the 41mp phone loaded with Android and see what happens... Elop surrendered Nokia to MS coz he is taking a large chunk of that 1bill

Nokian sealed , handicap apple-ish bricks would never do better , even with Android.
34. picka_vi_materina (Posts: 174; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
Wrong!!! If Nokia just released the N9 in every possible market, it would have gotten them back at number 1. All the devices that came after the N9 were potential MeeGo devices.
36. XperiaFanZone (Posts: 2115; Member since: 21 Sep 2012)
Dude, are you living in 2010? Nokia would be doomed if they went for Android!
24. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1175; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
Actually, it COULD be argued that Nokia is taking a hit because of Windows Phone. Their global market share went from a 22.5% in Q2 of 2012 to 15.8% in Q2 of 2013. In that same time frame, Nokia has made less and less new feature phones or new phones based on the Symbian OS while simultaneously making more and more Windows Phones.
27. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3724; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
That's a bit of stretch, Dr. Phil simply because less folks are buying feature phones nowadays, but I like where your head is.
28. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1175; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
It's a good thing I didn't actually make the argument but instead just showed what someone with a differing viewpoint could see when looking at the data.

Right. I hear ya.

No, Balber pushed out because bureaucrats from Microsoft finally made a decision after Vista Fail.
*Hermes Conrad: Yes, but you only stamped it four times. :)
8. papss (unregistered)
Vista was a failure but what came after was a master piece and it was called windows 7, maybe one of the best OS ever to come out. Every OS has had failures on every format.. I'd say if it were anything it would be the rt failure. Pro is wonderful though.
32. juandante (Posts: 463; Member since: 23 Apr 2013)
I think XP is better than 7. If you are a power user you easily see that 7 is missing a lot of deep configuration that XP had. Nevertheless, I will skip 7 to move directly to 8.1 because XP retires in few months.

It took google four years to achieve the same level of sales with the chromebook (even at $300 no sane consumer wants the bloody thing). I'm getting a bit sick of the RT bashing that takes place on tech sites.

30. Antonyjoseph (Posts: 217; Member since: 06 Apr 2013)
I dont think the rumor is correct. If Ballmer is pushed out due to to RT failure, then RT too should be history. That doesn't seem likely. I wish Bill Gates would come back to head Windows.
37. 7thspaceman (Posts: 1546; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
That is just not true "All That Is Digital" Reports MS insiders reported to them that Microsoft big wigs had no Idea Ballmer was going to retire himself. Some MS bigwigs on the board and some stock holders reported they wanted Me Ballmer replaced but even they had no Idea Ballmer himself would retire from Microsoft. some of the MS bigwigs and stock holder are glad he did..
38. 7thspaceman (Posts: 1546; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
I think Microsoft can still make a profit selling the Old surface RT's all they have to do is sell them a few dollars above production cost at the places they are being sold at and they will be cleared out fast because FOLKs they have built MS office and will get all the new software
Windows RT 8.1 updates and the Windows RT BLUE software updates and will get MS
"Outlook" added to the Windows RT office making it a nice tablet to do a little office work on.
Apple Ipads and Android tablets cannot match it as a office production tablet

Listen! Don't you hear these mad symphonies of grievance and fear?
Melancholy and despair can be sensed when we draw near.
Some hear a violin sound, others hear a man moaning in tears.
These fields are haunted by nature's most sombre melodies.
Suicidal white noise absorbing the essence from light, mirth and vitality.
These grounds are haunted by reflections from World War II...
Arise! 1941, '42
The identity of warfare on the East Front is lugubrious.
There's one soldier incapable of committing sin.
Kept alive by his comrades thanks to his heavenly gift with a violin.
His brilliant music so beautiful and pure... Shining warmth upon every soldier.
It helps them to endure. Breath-taking melodies consuming all hate, sorrow and fear.
These magnificent tunes are like silk for their ears. And for a moment their pain disappears.
But this moment will not last when they are baffled by another blast.
The enemy is near. Rain of bullets killing soldiers there and here.
And so the instrument of peace is being silenced by the one of war.
It plays the music of the dead; music made of lead.
"I've had enough of this sickening war and its murderous puppets!
They don't understand the language of music cannot be spoken in death.
I never took a life! Maybe now is the time to take mine.
In the name of music; shall I cut my wrists or hang myself high by a violin string?
A symphonic suicide is what I shall bring!"
The enemy lies on the other side of the field.
He decides to walk straight into the fire fight, playing this dreamlike masterpiece.
Every soldier stops, holds his breath. Not a single shot is being heard during an intro for his own death.
And when the violin bow is being lowered at the end, both sides simultaneously open fire.
There's the corpse of the violinist lying in mud and barbed wire.
These fields are haunted by the funerary dirge of a violinist.
Can't you hear his call of death?
Don't you hear these mad symphonies of grievance and fear?
Melancholy and despair can be sensed when we draw near.
Some hear a violin sound... Others hear a man moaning in tears.
The funerary dirge of a violinist...

THOMPSONTOWN - Newport Assembly of God is expanding its outreach through a second campus.
The Rev. Gary Bellis, who has been lead pastor for 37 years, said the church recently obtained the building located at 10110 William Penn Highway, Thompsontown.
The opportunity to open a second location allows the church to reach even more people with their ministry, he said.

Newport Assembly of God Church is expanding its outreach through a second campus, located in Thompsontown. The new campus is pictured above.
Services are set for 10:15 a.m. Sunday mornings beginning Nov. 10 at the church. Bellis said the children's ministry and Life Groups also will be scheduled for the Thompsontown campus sometime after the first services are held.
At this time, about 60 adults are committed to attending services at the new campus.
"We feel we'll grow," Bellis said, "We just really are very passionate about ministry to people."
One of the church's most widely known ministries is Bread of Life Outreach, which distributes food, over-the-counter medicines, cleaning products and more to more than 1,800 families in the area. Bellis said BOLO will expand from its 7,000-square-foot warehouse of supplies to a second distribution point at the Thompsontown campus.
He said the church is preparing the building to hold an inventory of supplies for monthly distributions on the fourth Saturday of the month.
According to a press release, BOLO has distributed more than 34,000 tons of supplies valued at more than $120 million since its beginning in 1994.
Additional products received at the warehouse have been donated to schools and serving agencies within Perry County. The release states that this practical assistance also will be a large part of church outreach in Juniata County through the new campus.
Bellis said the church's ministry reaches around the world. The church has been involved in humanitarian outreach in Russia for 15 years. The release states that the church partnered with other churches and organizations to send medical teams and provide training and Bible study materials to church leaders. They also assisted in planting many churches and currently minister in Haiti and India too.
Bellis described the church as very community-minded.
"That's what Christ told us to do," he said about ministering to others. "Church is not about the building, it's about the people."
The new building, which was donated to the church, features a large kitchen and dining area right inside the doors. Directly down the hall, a set of dark wooden doors leads to the combination auditorium and worship room which seats 350-400 people.
On the other side of the facility are brightly painted classrooms for children's and teen's Sunday school and family ministry, Bellis said.
In the church, he said, outreach will focus on practical, Biblical teaching that impacts everyday life.

EAST LIVERPOOL - The costs of the shale gas drilling boom in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia far outweigh the economic and energy benefits, a West Virginia chemist and farmer who has studied the industry said Wednesday.
Dr. S. Thomas Bond, speaking at the East Liverpool campus of Kent State University, his alma mater, outlined 13 "externalized costs of shale drilling" in a talk sponsored by the campus and its Environmental Club.
Bond, an inorganic chemist and beef farmer from Jane Lew, W.Va., acknowledged there are benefits to the boom - in jobs created and in energy outputs - but added, "I'm not here to talk about that. ... The arguments against (hydraulic fracturing) are manifold."
Bond has his doctorate in inorganic chemistry from Kent State and is a retired professor from Salem International University, formerly Salem College, in Salem, W.Va.
Bond said it's hard to get reliable information about fracking because so much of it is written by partisans who skew the facts heavily in favor of, or against, the process.
"Almost no printed economic analysis is honest," he said. "They list jobs gained, but not jobs lost. They list royalties, but fail to mention that much of that money goes where there is no damage. It goes to property owners who live outside the community and who, like the Beverly Hillbillies, move out."
Bond characterized shale drilling as an "immature, very dirty" process that dates back only 10 years-to a well drilled by Mitchell Energy in the Barnett Shale in 2002.
"It is a Neanderthal which hasn't had time to evolve into a clean, socially acceptable form," he said. "It leaves a very large part of the resource in the ground. Only 10 percent is recovered - very low for any form of petroleum, with neither plans nor hope to recover the rest of it."
Because the current fracking technology is relatively new, Bond said, there hasn't been time to "field test" it.
"That is, it was never tried out with scientific attention to environmental, health and community problems," he said, "but was adopted by modern-day adventurers - buccaneers, really - who have taken advantage of the problems of declining oil, vast amounts of capital readily available and the gullibility of the public and politicians."
The biggest problem with hydraulic fracturing, as Bond sees it, is the potential contamination of aquifers. Bond said it is important for property owners to have their well water tested to establish a baseline - that is, the condition of the water before drilling takes place.
"Your own well is your responsibility," he said. "If your water is ruined, you need proof of what it was like before drilling. There is no end of sophisticated arguments that can be used against you if you do not have proof it was good in the past."
Other costs of the fracking industry, Bond said, include:
* Air pollution from storage tanks, drilling ponds and compressor stations.
* Water pollution in streams resulting from spills, seeps, surreptitious dumping and road accidents.
* Damage to inadequate roads from heavy trucks. Bond cited the example of Wetzel County, in West Virginia's Northern Panhandle, where a rural fire station was blocked by fracking traffic. "Each well requires a lot of big truck traffic - 1,500 truckloads of water and the diesel fuel and pipe that must be carried in," he said.
* Loss of surface area due to occupation and subsequent pollution of the site. Bond said the four "principal footprints" at a fracking site are the drilling pads, the access roads, the pipelines from the wells, and the compressor stations.
* Leasing techniques that pit neighbor against neighbor. Of leasing, Bond said, "It is not a deal between one person to recover a particular resource and another who owns it," he said. "It is a deal between one 'person' who never dies - the corporation - and the current owner of the resource for all the line that follows him - forever."
Bond gave several suggestions for what property owners can do when negotiating a lease, including:
* Ask for a right of first refusal at the end of the lease.
* Limit the types of formations and mineral rights in the lease.
* Ask to block or have final approval on surface use.
* Put all special agreements in a written addendum to help clarify a lease.
Bond said in all the enthusiasm over fracking there is "no consideration that the shale drilling boom will soon be over, leaving the community a sort of mineral equivalent to the rust belt - burned over, burned out."

People who want to meditate come in all shapes and sizes. DharmaCrafts offers a wide selection of meditation cushions, support cushions, and benches. The guide below will help you make the best choice when buying your cushion so that you can sit — and keep sitting — in comfort and with confidence.
A note about "sitting in comfort": most Westerners aren't used to floor sitting whether on a meditation cushion or bench, so it is likely to take some time before you "find your seat" — meaning, before you can consistently sit in comfort. And, just as important as selecting your cushion or bench is sitting in the posture that is best suited for you. See our Posture Guide to learn how.
Filled with natural buckwheat hulls, the buckwheat zafu is preferred by most new practitioners.
Benefits of sitting on the buckwheat zafu include:
Who might like sitting on a buckwheat zafu?
We've been hand-stuffing this traditional kapok cushion since 1979. Extremely firm, this cushion is stuffed with over 3.5 lbs of kapok. When you receive it, is round and hard like a loaf of Russian bread.
Kapok is a soft, hypoallergenic, mold and mildew resistant, natural fiber harvested from the seedpod of the Kapok tree which is found in Thailand and Indonesia. Naturally silky and resilient, it has been the traditional stuffing for sitting cushions for centuries.
Benefits of sitting on the kapok-filled zafu include:
Note that using the kapok zafu is often an "acquired taste." DharmaCrafts suggests that you try one at your local meditation center, though it's most likely that the ones you'll find there will have already been "broken in" by previous visitors.
Who might like sitting on a Kapok Zafu:
If you have difficulty sitting in a cross-legged position, a meditation bench might be the best choice for you. Our benches are designed for those who meditate in the seiza position, the traditional Japanese kneeling posture.
Benefits of sitting on a meditation bench include:
Who might like sitting on a bench:
Important: When sitting on a meditation bench it is essential that you use a zabuton (the big flat mat), because it provides much needed cushioning for your knees and lower legs.
There is no better way to customize your comfort than with our support cushions. Whether you need added height, cushioning under your knees when sitting in the cross-legged position, or cushioning under your ankles or hands — our variety of support cushions
This 16" x 12" x 4" rectangular cushion is one of our most versatile support cushions! It includes a zippered cover for easy washing.
Who might like using a buckwheat support cushion:
This 14" x 14" x 2" square pillow is filled with 2 inches of cotton batting. This cushion can be folded or rolled to provide customized support. It includes a zippered cover for easy washing.
Who might like using a square support cushion:
Only 7" x 7" x 1". Use it for —whatever! It includes a zippered cover for easy washing.
Who might like using a whatever cushion:

Scientists have identified a protein that effectively strips dendritic cells (DCs) and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) of the intracellular deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) needed by invading HIV-1 to synthesize its own DNA and replicate. An international team led by researchers at the Institut Cochin in Paris, New York University School of Medicine, and the University of Rochester Medical Center sites say SAMHD1 expressed by HIV-1's target myeloid cells hydrolyzes intracellular dNTP, essentially starving the virus of the building blocks required to support viral reverse transcription, and thus blocking lentiviral infection.
In contrast, the researchers also found that viruses of the HIV-2-simian immunodeficiency virus lineage ((SIVsm)-HIV-2) express a virion-packaged accessory protein, Vpx, which degrades SAMHD1. This acts to prevent the protein from depleting dNTPs and restores the permissiveness of myeloid cells to infection, but doesn't appear to lead to increased virulence. Reporting their results in Nature Immunology, the Institut Cochin's Florence Margottin-Goguet, Ph.D., and colleagues, suggest that therapeutic strategies that deplete intracellular dNTP pools might represent a promising approach to treating lentivus infection.
"The implications of depleting the nucleotide pool as a host-defense mechanism are potentially far reaching," they write. The team's published paper is titled "SAMHD1 restricts the replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 by depleting the intracellular pool of deoxynucleoside triphosphates."
SAMHD1 was first identified as an ortholog of a mouse gene induced by interferon-γ in response to viral infection, and has been proposed to operate as a negative regulator of the innate immune response. Prior work has also shown that mutations in conserved regions of the SAMHD1 protein inactivate its lentivirus-restricting activity.
Sequence comparison studies by Dr. Margottin-Goguet demonstrated weak homology between SAMHD1 and EF1143, which suggested the protein may have a role in regulating intracellular dNTP pools in myeloid cells. This notion was confirmed by the finding that intracellular dNTP concentrations in human monocyte cells were increased when SAMHD1 was knocked down using an shRNA, and the observation that recombinant SAMHD1 hydrolyzed all four dNTPs in vitro.
Primary MDMs take up exogenous deoxynucleosides and directly convert them into dNTPs, and the team confirmed that treating healthy donor-derived MDMs either with deoxynucleosides or Vpx-containing virus-like particles led (VLPs) to a 5- to 33-fold increase in the concentration of dNTPs, and enhanced HIV-1 infection. Interestingly, the nucleoside treatment was more effective in terms of enhancing HIV-1 infection, probably because these cells continued to hydrolyze the dNTPs, while cells exposed to Vpx-containing VLPs degraded SAMHD1, preventing dNTP hydrolysis.
Further tests were carried out in an SAMHD1-deficient monocyte cell line (U937) transduced to express either human, mouse, rhesus macaque, or inactive SAMHD1. The cells were treated with the protein kinase C activator Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), which induces their differentiation into macrophages. These assays demonstrated that in the absence of PMA, intracellular dNTP concentrations were relatively unaffected by the various SAMDH1 constructs. However, after treatment of the cells with PMA, expression of SAMHD1 was accompanied by a considerable decrease in the dNTP pool relative to cells transduced with a control lentiviral vector, or with the inactive SAMHD1.
The deficiency of SAMHD1 in unmodified U937 cells means this cell line is normally highly susceptible to HIV-1 infection, but this susceptibility was markedly reduced on expression of SAMHD1. Treating human- or rhesus-SAMHD1-expressing cells with Vpx-VLPs blocked this resistance to infection, due to degradation of SAMHD1, although Vpx-VLPs appeared to have no effect on mouse SAMHD1.
Unlike MDMs, activated primary CD4+ T lymphocytes are normally fully susceptible to HIV-1. The team also demonstrated that Vpx-containing VLPs had only a marginal effect on dNTP concentrations, which suggests that in these cells SAMHD1 plays only a minor role in controlling dNTP concentration. In fact, overexpressing SAMHD1 in a CD4+ human lymphoma T cell line had no effect on HIV-1 infection relative to control cells, whereas pharmacologically blocking ribonucleotide reductase in the SAMHD1-expressing T cells did lead to increased resistance to HIV-1 infection. "These results suggested that the high rate of dNTP production in the T cells rapidly replenishes the dNTPs that are hydrolyzed by SAMHD1, limiting its antiviral activity in these cells," the authors write.
"SAMHD1-mediated depletion of the intracellular dNTP pool provides a means by which the cell establishes an antiviral state without the need for an inhibitor that interacts directly with a specific viral component," they conclude. "Furthermore, it provides a rationale for why SAMHD1 restriction operates only in terminally differentiated and nondividing cells such as MDMs and DCs. Those cells, in contrast to dividing cells, do not need to maintain a high concentration of dNTPs and therefore are not harmed by the catalytic activity of SAMHD1...Thus, this mechanism may serve to restrict a diverse range of retroviruses."
The team also points out that the use of Vpx to degrade SAMHD1 is an important strategy used by lentiviruses to prevent cellular antiviral defenses. "We don't know precisely how SAMHD1 and Vpx affect the virulence of HIV-1 and HIV-2, but it's something we're actively exploring," notes Baek Kim, Ph.D., co-corresponding author at the University of Rochester Medical Center. "The work suggests new ways to target virus replication in macrophages, a critically important cell population that serves as a key reservoir of virus infection and a contributor to HIV-induced disease."

4 Ways the Internet is About to Improve Entertainment
#2. Officially Sanctioned Fan Fiction
Amazon recently announced Kindle Worlds, a platform for creating and selling officially sanctioned, self-published fan fiction. Ah, so this is how the downfall of society starts: not with a bang, but with Harry Potter banging Optimus Prime.
I know, licensing fan fiction sounds like a terrible idea at first, but with some modification and careful attention, it could actually be a huge boon to some stale established properties. Right now it's limited to a handful of series -- The Vampire Diaries finally says it's OK to write Vampire Diaries fan fiction, you guys! Surely that's the only reason nobody has been writing Vampire Diaries fan fiction until now! -- but if it proves successful, others will surely sign up. As a writer, I would never, in a thousand terrifying, My Little Pony raping years, sign up to allow official fan fiction of my work to be sold. That blurs a really important line between fun and canon; between what actually happens in a story and what you paid for.
But nobody's asking me.
Authors and Luddites are freaking out about this concept like it's going to affect them. This isn't about people polluting the purity of literary classics by having Holden Caulfield bone Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird, because A) the owners of those IPs would never allow it, B) nobody would actually buy it, and C) the Internet is totally already doing that somewhere, for free, I promise. This is about vast, impersonal properties that already have a thousand hands down their creative panties allowing a few more in because there's still some room in the back. These properties, without some weird experimentation and new blood, are going to go stale and possibly die anyway.
Look no further than Star Wars for proof:
The expanded universe Star Wars books, by all accounts, were infinitely better and more promising than the recent Star Wars movies. Which is a little like saying that dying of painful diarrhea is better than dying in painful diarrhea. But I digress: The Star Wars books were nothing so vulgar as fan fiction, but they thrived for precisely the same reason. Because they were taken out of the hands of the original creators -- in this case, snatched from the expired-deal-with-the-devil-making George Lucas' pork-greased digits -- and given to new talent, somewhat untested but eager young folks who were both familiar with the source material and willing to be exploited in exchange for a little attention.
Sounds like fanboys to me.
#1. Adapting the Unadaptable
Full disclosure: The idea for this entry spawned from a piece I wrote on my own site about Arrested Development's new season on Netflix. If you've read that already, feel free to skip the following; this will mostly be a summation/expansion of some of those points.
Hey, have you guys heard about the new season of Arrested Development? No? Then you're either a liar or a pod person, and we all know those pod people are a bunch of dirty liars.
In short, the new season of Arrested Development was released on Netflix all at once, with no wait between episodes, and no set run time for said episodes. Some could be 20 minutes, some could be 40, and you could watch the whole thing back to back. It's a much longer, more cohesive work with breaks only where they make sense in the story. That's right: The new season of Arrested Development is a video book.
Up until now, adaptations, by their very nature, had to cut huge chunks of their source material to make sense in other formats. Movies had it especially tough: How do you take a work that is limited only by the author's imagination and the paltry confines of human language and represent that boundless reality on film? How do you take a work that may dance around between viewpoints, jump generations, or span eons, and do it any kind of justice? How do you take 400 pages of text and faithfully transform it into a two- to three-hour movie? Short answer: You don't.
Don't get me wrong, there have been a lot of great adaptations from books. But that word is the problem: adaptation. Directors aren't filming a book scene by scene to present the same story in a different medium; they're changing it to make it fit their needs. Sometimes it results in greatness, like Blade Runner. Sometimes it results in milky loogies spat right into art's eyeball, like The Great Gatsby.
Zack Snyder's Watchmen is a good example of the middle ground:
Geek Asylum
Middle ground: The nicest thing anybody has ever said about Zack Snyder's Watchmen.
It was based on a work that was long considered unfilmable, for its grandiose scope and scale as well as its minutiae. The set pieces ranged across the entire friggin' solar system, and it was all packed with vital little nuances that just couldn't make it into a single measly movie. The original graphic novel, for example, was intercut with another story -- a comic within the comic, regarding pirates, insanity, and a big sweaty dude-boat. It wasn't necessary for the plot, but it was needed for the story. And it was cut from the movie completely. I think it was ultimately included as bonus content on the DVD, but most moviegoers had no idea.
But if Watchmen had debuted like a Netflix original -- a whole series available at once, no waiting and no fixed length for episodes -- it could have been structured more closely to the original, as something between a TV show, a miniseries, and a film. A 15-hour faithful retelling of the original story, just in a different medium. It wouldn't have left you feeling like you missed something; it wouldn't have been as spiritually empty as the Snyder version. I love the Akira anime, but that movie barely glanced off the content available in the comic. A Netflix-style adaptation would be amazing, and break new ground even for old fans. They've been trying to film Neuromancer for like 30 years, but it just doesn't fit: You'd have to cut whole acts for it to make sense as a movie. A 15-hour online miniseries, however, wouldn't have any problems. What about stuff like House of Leaves? You could have the entire documentary section filmed as presented, intercut with a more cinematic approach for the narrative sections, all the while bringing up online references and compendiums for the footnotes that you can peruse as you see fit. We may have just done away with the entire concept of "unadaptability."
And now that I've planted those tantalizing seeds in your head, I shall leave you to wail in impotent fury that they will never be a reality. Haha, this is still Hollywood, folks! None of this shit will ever happen. Scream as loud as you want; they'll never hear you. Those new Bentleys are like a rolling library.

Regulations are the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of state government.
On one hand, they serve to protect the health of residents and the environment. On the other, they can complicate and interfere with those very things — and can be very unfriendly to business and industry.
Gov. Nikki Haley has ordered state agencies to review their procedures and regulations to determine if their costs in time and money outweigh their benefits.
That information will be evaluated by a panel appointed by Mrs. Haley and members of the Legislature.
It is not surprising to see that politicians and the pro-business members predominate on the panel. Indeed, as the only one of 11 members who is a conservationist by profession, Dana Beach, executive director of the Coastal Conservation League, will have to be especially vigilant.
Lt. Gov. Glenn McConnell began pushing for regulatory reform while he was still in the Senate.
In a recent column on our Commentary page, he described examples of stifling rules. For example, an adult day care facility was not allowed to extend its work week by a day without a tedious, time-consuming and costly process. The company decided the effort wasn't worth it.
Clearly that is a blow to residents who need adult day care for their family members. It is also a blow to the business owner, and it saps any hope for new jobs at the facility.
And seemingly, the additional hoops to jump through are excessive.
But some regulations that are annoying and time-consuming to businesses are important for the residents of South Carolina.
Plenty of developers would love to build their subdivisions without worrying about wetlands, for example. But it would be tragic to allow construction that would spoil essential natural habitat and reduce flood control.
Mr. Beach told reporter Stephen Largen that the problem could be in the implementation of a regulation rather than the regulation itself. The pettifogging bureaucrat is ever a force in government.
But the lieutenant governor is more skeptical. He wants to require all regulations to be reviewed after a period of time to assess their value. The General Assembly should have to vote to continue the regulation or kill it.
Mr. McConnell's reasoning is that government agencies are expanding their authority without adequate oversight.
Meanwhile, they are financing their operations with onerous fees. "Regulations are the vehicle for the invisible growth of government," he wrote.
Ann Timberlake, executive director of the Conservation Voters of South Carolina, said the state's Republican leadership, particularly in the Senate, has shown that it can balance environmental and business concerns.
That is a good goal for the governor's panel: Reduce red tape where it does more harm than good, but leave in place regulations that help keep South Carolina safe for wildlife and attractive to outdoorsmen as well as to businesses.

Josh Brown has been wrestling two weights up from where he finished off last year, but the Claysburg-Kimmel senior 120-pounder is more equipped than most to handle the increased weight and bigger opponents.
The two-time Class AA state qualifier is strong and aggressive, and his big-move capability makes him dangerous enough to make any deficit not seem that large.
"One of the things that has gotten him by is he has a street fighter mentality," Bulldogs coach Dave Marko said. "That's the style we want out of our Claysburg wrestlers. I want their physical nature to be someone who will push and push. Josh exemplifies that in a lot of ways.

Mirror file photo
C-K's Josh Brown hit Ligonier Valley's Justin Patrick with a headlock in last year's District 6 finals.
"I think that street fighter mentality is something you can push and teach, but it's something that has to be born with you. Josh has that naturally. He's the kind of guy if your friends are in trouble in a fight, you want Josh around. He has that little guy mentality that he's not going to take crap from anybody. He's a tough kid.
"If you put that same body and attitude in a 210-pound guy, he would be a monumental success in any sport. He was a successful football player. How many kids that size can be good at varsity football?"
Brown did play football for the first time in high school this past season, started at cornerback for the Bulldogs and made a lot of tackles.
Fact Box
Brown file
n He is a two-time District 6 finalist and two-time state qualifier.
n He's 12-4 with five pins as a senior.
n He has a career record of 78-23 in three years.
That shouldn't come as any surprise, especially with how Marko glowingly described his star wrestler. Brown says his aggressive nature wasn't always within him, though.
"I changed my style when I got to varsity," he said. "It was something that I planned on doing. I wanted to have more offense and just attack a lot more. It made a big difference."
But, what about that jump? He's 12-4 with five pins and is ranked No. 1 in the Mirror rankings at 120. Three of his losses came when he was bumped up to 126, including one to Tyrone's Jason Schopp, 10-4. His only loss at 120 was to Ligonier Valley's Justin Patrick, 4-2 in overtime. Patrick beat Brown in the District 6 and Southwest Regional finals last season.
"I think I've been wrestling good," Brown said. "I lost a couple matches at 126 in which I didn't wrestle very good. But, it's only going to make me better wrestling tougher kids."
"I think he's wrestling well," Marko said. "It's been an adjustment wrestling up in weight. At one point or another, he was winning in all of those matches. We just have to hold onto leads. He's very talented. The speed and size combination he has for the weight class is outstanding. He has every physical attribute you could possibly want."
Despite not coming up as a freshman, Brown has a shot of reaching 100 wins. He's 78-23 after going 35-12 as a sophomore and 31-7 as a junior. Brown says he regrets not coming up as a freshman.
"I could have had a lot more experience with one more year on varsity," he said. "It's sort of hard because I didn't know if I was ready for varsity."
"Whenever he was a freshman, we would have liked to have pulled him up," Marko said. "He made the decision to stay at the junior high, and he would have been undersized with us. But, he's still capable of getting 100 wins. He would be the first in our program to get to 100 wins without coming up as a freshman."
When the postseason hits this season, Brown will be down to 113, and he'll be looking for his first district and regional title. He's finished second at districts both years, losing to Cambria Heights' Ryan Dupas as a sophomore. Brown qualified for states as a sophomore by beating District 7 runner-up Russ Losteter, 3-2, in the fifth-place bout.
"I'd be lying if him making it to states shocked us," Marko said. "He knocked off guys who were awfully successful. He beat Patrick in the district semifinals. At regionals, he knocked off [Northern Bedford's Mason] Replogle. When he was in ninth grade, he wrestled [Bedford's] Cory Thomas, and that was a barnburner.
"He's got big-move potential. He can score points in bunches. An example of that is when he was wrestling [Forest Hills] Triston Law in the district semis last year. It seemed like a boring 1-0 match, and neither guy was getting anything going, and Josh takes him down, puts him on his back and it's over [in 1:56]. As far as excitement level, he's one of my favorites I've watched that I've coached."
Brown even hit Patrick with a headlock in the district finals, but Patrick came back to win in overtime, 8-6. Patrick won, 8-2, in the regional finals, and it didn't get any better for Brown in Hershey, going 0-2, including a 7-4 consolation loss to Burgettstown's Austin McDermitt, whom he had beaten, 8-6, in the regional semifinals.
"Last year, he took good steps forward even though it didn't work out in Hershey," Marko said. "He could have been a placewinner. He had a tough draw, and it's tough when you drop down into the wrestlebacks. It had to be hard looking at the guys on the medals stand. To see two guys who you've beaten place there I'm sure was difficult to handle."
"Hopefully, I can get a district title, a regional title and a state medal this year," Brown said. "I'm just the type of guy who gets nervous around a bunch of people in a big area. It's exciting, and it's fun being at states, but I get nervous."

quote: What exactly are these "benefits" of socialism? I cannot think of a single one.
quote: Better economic growth, higher standard of living, a free-market thats not dominated by one or two large coorporations, and the like.
quote: Then again, maybe theres a reason why Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, Nixon, and Clinton ALL were able to reduce the debt as a percentage of GDP by following "socalist" economic policies, and Ford, Regan, Bush I, and Bush II all grew the debt as a percentage of GDP by following "capitalist" economic policy. Funny how "socalism" both reduced the debt and grew the economy, isn't it?
quote: Seriously, the US has undergone 40 years of near continuous economic mismanagement. With the middle class more or less defunct, there is no engine of economic growth. Hence the recession.

The rose is Herb of the Year for 2012? At first, this seemed somewhat strange, but upon reflection, the rose is a perfect fit with the definition of herbs. The explanation I use is, "any plant that can be used for culinary, medicinal, fragrance or cosmetic purposes." That seems to cover all the bases, and certainly includes the rose, which is used in all four ways.
First, and perhaps most unexpected, is the culinary.
Euell Gibbons, the wild-plant expert who published several books in the 1960s, has a chapter in his book, "Stalking the Healthful Herbs," titled "How to Eat a Rose."
Article Photos
Roses climb the side of Janet Del Turco's Tiffin home.
He begins with a recipe for uncooked rose jam, basically a blend of shredded rose petals, lemon juice, sugar and powdered pectin. This does not appeal to me, but his candied rose petals sound delicious to the eye as well as to the tongue. Rose water is a fragrant, flavorful liquid that has been used since Roman times in food and wine as well as in cosmetics.
Most rose recipes use the petals, but rose hips have high amounts of vitamin C and can be made into rose hip fruit soup or rose hip jam. One cup of rose hips has as much vitamin C as 12 dozen oranges.
The medicinal qualities of the rose are based mostly on rose hip syrup.
Fact Box
Janet Del Turco is a local gardener and a graduate of the Ohio State University Master Gardener program.
Contact her at email@example.com.
During World War II, there were no citrus fruits to be had in England, so children were dosed regularly with this food supplement. I can still taste it! The leaves reportedly can be infused for a liquid that is astringent and touted as a tonic. As with other medicinal herbs, I would be very cautious in their use.
The red rose is listed officially as a drug plant, with the petals used to mask unpleasant odors in medical preparations.
The fragrance of the rose is familiar to almost everyone, and roses are used to scent a wide array of cosmetics and perfumes. Potpourris and sachets bring the fragrance into the home and most popular fragrance lines have a wide array of rose-scented offerings.
For ornamental use, fresh or dried, the rose is incomparable.
From weddings to funerals, and all the happy occasions in between, they are easy to obtain, need little arrangement beside being settled in a container, and always give pleasure.
I grow roses, but I take the easy way out with climbers or shrub varieties.
With the development of the Knock Out rose in the last few years, I have acquired two red, one pink and one yellow, all growing enthusiastically and needing no care but a bit of pruning when their size becomes unwieldy.
My climbers vary in performance.
I have a yellow Lemon Meringue on the side wall of the garage which is 3-4 years old and blooming well this season. The red and white Fourth of July graces the back door area. A white Iceberg on a trellis is just 2 years old and has not done well so far. I will give it another year to prove itself.
And then there is my New Dawn. This beautiful rose covers about half of the front of my house and is in full bloom much earlier than usual this summer. Early in the winter, the cobbled-together links of rope, wire and nails that supported it up to the top of the second floor windows blew down in a strong wind, so I had to cut it way back. Now, you would never know it had been damaged, and I am really enjoying the scent and sight of the pale pink blossoms.
I have revised my early skepticism, therefore, and truly salute the rose as herb of the year.

Seven different Hatters scored, but the Stetson lacrosse team (0-6) fell short against Campbell (2-2), losing by a score of 17-7 on Friday at the Athletic Training Center.
Stetson certainly excelled in one stage of the game on Friday. The Hatters built on their season-best 10 draw controls on Tuesday with another 17 against the Camels. Stetson finished with 17 to Campbell's nine in the game.
The Hatters, however, were outshot 33-18, and the Camels picked up 25 ground balls to Stetson's 13. Campbell generated four free position shots, and connected on three of them, while the Hatters only managed one unsuccessful attempt.
Stetson scored the first goal of the game yet again as freshman Danielle Horgan scored unassisted just 15 seconds into play. After a pair of Camel goals, sophomore Samantha Akl tied the game at 2-2 with another unassisted Stetson score just less than six minutes into the contest.
Campbell then scored 12 out of the next 13 goals in the game, through halftime, to take a 14-3 lead with 18:06 to play in the game. Stetson freshman Melanie Fredericks scored the lone Hatter goal during the stretch, finishing off a Maylis Broderick assist.
The Hatters finished the game strong, outscoring Campbell 4-3 in the final 15 minutes of play. Freshman Mary Kate O'Sullivan started the run off with a goal assisted by freshman Paige Levesque. Freshmen Sarah Connolly, Broderick, and Mallory Tluchowski also scored during the stretch.
Horgan led Stetson with five shots, while O'Sullivan and Kelsey Gilbert totaled two ground balls each in the loss. Broderick won four draw controls, while O'Sullivan chipped in with three. Whitney Meyers and Caili Guilday split time in goal once again. The former made seven saves in 37 minutes, and the latter totaled three saves in 23 minutes.
Stetson will next play its seventh straight home game to start the season. The Hatters welcome Bryant to DeLand on Wednesday, March 13 before heading out on the road for the first time to take on Florida in Gainesville.

Microwave refrigerator combos are a great purchase for dorm rooms, efficiency kitchens and offices. The compact size of the refrigerator is perfect for keeping essential items on hand for daily use, and most also have a freezer compartment for things like frozen meals and ice cream. The added convenience of having the microwave attached makes these units ideal for compact spaces.
Some combination units offer an auxiliary power outlet on the back of the microwave that allows you to connect a small appliance such as a coffee maker or toaster. The purchase of an amp overload protector is recommended with these units but most are equipped to run under the max voltage limit required in most dorm rooms.

Using Craigslist to Sell Your Stuff
I have been a big fan of Craigslist since I found out about it after college. I don't usually buy much from it, but I have used it to sell a bunch of things including old electronics and furniture. In the beginning, it took a few weeks to sell an item, but now I can easily have things sold in a single weekend. The trick has been figuring out how to make posts that can catch and hold a buyer's interest. A great Craigslist listing needs a few things – a good price, a solid description, and a flattering picture.

Once again, my wife has made has made one of my fantasies come true.
Now before you get all hot and bothered, let me explain. It's an essential truth that people are fascinated by weather and predictions pertaining to it. That's why the weather gets such a remarkable amount of attention during local news broadcasts. I can perhaps relate to it more than most because, like medicine, the delivery of a forecast (or prognosis) is art bolstered by science. And half the fun is watching the art of delivery.
So everybody likes weather. We know that. Truism number two is that people — particularly men — love aviation. Not that everybody likes to fly, but it's rare to find someone who isn't at least intrigued by the concept. These basic truths are inextricably linked and, quite honestly, if I weren't doing what I already do, it would be very easy for me to imagine flying airplanes or somehow being involved with meteorology. I know it's a stereotype, but an honest one. Accordingly, my true confession for the day is that I'm a bona fide weather nerd and that my secret fantasy would be the life of a professional meteorologist.
Josh Marthers, the 29-year-old Spartanburg native and Mississippi State grad who is a usual weekday morning weather anchor on WCBD-TV, has impressed me over the years with his high-energy delivery, spontaneity and down-to-earth sense of humor. He's the kind of guy who seems to be having more fun than a working stiff ought to have, and that's probably because he doesn't consider what he does as work — but fun.
"You need to call Josh and hang out with him for a morning and then write a column about it," my wife suggested.
I couldn't imagine he'd want to be bothered, so I kind of let it go. Undeterred, she contacted him, got a phone number, gave me the information and said that he was awaiting my call.
Seriously?! This is fantastic but way too easy, I thought — until I got instructions from Josh about what time to show up.
"OK, here's what I want you to do," Marthers instructed in matter-of-fact but friendly tones. "We go on the air at 5 o'clock, and I need you here at the studio by 3:30."
Recalling Woody Allen's famous observation that 90 percent of life is showing up, I dragged myself out of bed at 2:30 a.m., got ready and raced out of the house with a cup of coffee at about 3:10. There was no traffic going up Coming Street and the Cooper River Bridge was spectacularly empty with no cars in front of me and only two going in the opposite direction.
It took me just 14 minutes to get to the studio. At exactly 3:30 Josh Marthers pulled up, greeted me with a warm handshake, exchanged pleasantries, briefly lamented his beloved Mississippi State baseball team having lost the College World Series, and then ushered me inside to the Weather Center, where he started putting together the computer-generated graphics that would illustrate the prevailing weather patterns — as I sat there pestering him with 1,001 questions.
"Is it true that there's a band called 'Fowler's Moustache'?" (Yes.)
"Did you know we have four guineas that have moved into our neighborhood, and that two are named Roberta and Fowler?" (Blank stare.)
"What explains the current weather pattern with all this moisture?" (Overactive PNA system.)
"What's PNA? Pain in the...?" (The Pacific/North American teleconnection pattern.)
I'm sure it wasn't long before I was getting to be a PNA (and I didn't really ask such annoying questions — for the most part), but Josh couldn't have been more accommodating, particularly for a guy whose biorhythms must be somewhat catawampus, and yet who loves the morning shift, the science of meteorology and delivering the word (as messenger — not manager — he's quick to clarify). And who does all this without any notes.
Good meteorologists seem to have that gift when — at the stage director's signal — the right words just spill out.
"How do you do that?" I ask.
"I really can't explain it," he admits. "It just happens."
"Sort of like the weather."
Well, now that I'm privy to such information, I've concluded that I probably wouldn't make it in that line of work. Unless my remarks are well-rehearsed, memorized or scripted, they're not going to happen — or at least won't come out with the seamless fluidity of a professional broadcaster who can extemporaneously sing the forecast like a silver-tongued nightingale.
My visit to the studio was over before I knew it. Before leaving, though, I had to inquire about employing the Marthers Muggy Meter, a 5-point comfort scale. For the rest of you weather nerds, here's how it's done: Take the average forecast dewpoint over the next 24 hours, subtract 55 and then divide by 4.
For example, say the average predicted dewpoint will be 71 percent. Seventy-one minus 55 equals 16. Sixteen divided by 4 equals 4, and 4 on the 5-point Marthers scale equals "Muggy," whereas a 1 would be "Nice and Dry," 2 "Comfortable," 3 "Slightly muggy," and 5 "Super Muggy."
For convenience, if the average dewpoint is predicted to be 73 or higher, it's an automatic 5, and if it's below 55, it's an automatic 1.
And that's part of the world according to Josh Marthers, whom I thank (along with the rest of the crew) for a fun and educational morning and who, as I'm sure he knows, is living the dream!

on March 6, 2013 - 12:33 AM
The Common Council on Tuesday followed the urging of North Council Member Joseph Golombek Jr. and voted to deny a license for a North Buffalo scrap metal recycling facility, prompting promises of lawsuits from the affected parties.
Golombek said he received more than 400 letters from neighbors about a proposal from Ben Weitsman & Son to purchase a former junkyard at Hertel Avenue and Military Road and accept scrap metal for recycling. About 12 tractor-trailers a day would arrive at the site to pick up metal to be crushed and shredded at the Owego-based company's other locations, known to the public as Upstate Shredding.
"I'm in support of the community in denying this license," said Golombek, who cited traffic and noise issues.
The other eight Council members followed Golombek's lead, but Niagara Council Member David A. Rivera questioned the process, saying that it sends the wrong message to businesses for the Council to deny a project that had already received support from certain neighborhood groups, the city Planning Board and the city Environmental Management Commission.
The West Hertel Association opposed the project, but the Black Rock Riverside Good Neighbor Planning Alliance and the Grant-Amherst Business Association were mostly in support of it.
The city Law Department told lawmakers that there was no legal reason to deny the license.
The Weitsmans' plan to purchase land around the former junkyard and operate on the entire property gives the city a legal basis to deny the license, said lawyer Adam S. Walters, who was retained by competitor Niagara Metals, which operates a half-mile away.
The competition does not believe that the Council's actions will prevent Upstate Shredding from locating somewhere in Western New York, said Jon Marantz, vice president of Niagara Metals, but that location was not a good fit.
Adam and Kim Weitsman, who own Upstate Shredding, planned to spend $7 million to improve the site but now will file a lawsuit, said their lobbyist, Joel A. Giambra.
Property owner Peter Adornetto, who planned to sell to the Weitsmans, was upset with the Council's decision and said he, too, will file a lawsuit. He said he will reopen his auto salvage yard, Auto City of Buffalo, which he closed in May.
In other business Tuesday:
• At the request of West Village residents, the Council voted to rename a pocket park at 33 Whitney Place in memory of Police Officer Patricia A. Parete, who died Feb. 2 after being wounded while on duty in 2006.
• The Council approved a demolition moratorium in the Michigan Street African-American Heritage Corridor until the corridor adopts a plan or a year passes, whatever occurs first.
• The Council voted to allow the city to transfer a $500,000 state Restore grant to Creative Structures Services for its renovation of the former Fairfield Library, 1659 Amherst St.
• A memo from a coalition of food truck owners seeking lower permit fees was referred to the Legislation Committee in advance of the April 1 sunset of the applicable ordinance.

So the Wings have beaten Philly, Boston, & Columbus.
Boston being a heavy weight. But, for a young team trying to figure some things out it's not a bad stretch at all.
I like the defense & the powerplay kill. I have litte question they will get the rest going.
All in all I'm pretty happy
