Four of the colossi of New Zealand television journalism, known to modernisers as four of the colossuses of New Zealand television journalism, fought it out in this week's ASP awards, as the awards that celebrate alcohol and sponsorship and press went flagrantly, gloriously and ever so slightly sycophantically mainstream.
Paul Holmes is one of the four. When he got knocked sideways by a heart attack or a stroke or whatever it was, many thought he was finished, gone – bound to see out his days glaring accusingly at his olive trees or as a New Zealand First MP. But he has returned like a puckish colossus into the spotlight, to his newspaper column and radio thing and to anchor television's Sunday morning question-and-answer television programme, Q+A. Assured and confident and apparently having evicted the ants from his pants, Holmes is back, baby.
His former sidekick on the question-answer show, Guyon Espiner, has been bathing in accolades, and all. Espiner might reasonably have decided after quitting his position as political editor for TV One that he could phone the stuff in, but his work ethic and honest eyes would have none of that. He's been turning in consistently excellent pieces for the consistently excellent Listener magazine, and a string of top-notch items for TV3's consistently excellent when it's not that American rubbish 60 Minutes –- most recently and splendidly, on New Zealand as an accidental tax haven.
And on Maori TV, colossus Julian Wilcox and his colleagues at Native Affairs continue to do serious and exciting and appointment-viewing current events telly, this week by bringing comedy sensation John Ansell into the studio.
But those colossi, fine though they are, don't get the wine. John Campbell gets the wine. His who-knew-what-and-when piece on NZ authorities and the Kim Schmitz affair this week was as eye-widening as a paper cut between the toes, said one experienced judge. It comes on the back of a wildly good year for the sharp-witted, bushy-tailed "Campbell" and his TV3 team, the citation continued – from Kim Dotcom to Christchurch to school lunches.
Speaking of which, the wine is provided on strict condition that Campbell and his do-gooder minions promise not to give it to primary school pupils with their sandwiches. (Wallace Chapman was considered as a wunderkind wild card entry as a colossus of New Zealand television journalism, by the way, but he has ruled himself out with a repeated insistence that he is "not a journalist". Judges were unanimous in asking, "What?")
The Alcohol Sponsorship Press Awards (ASPs), which are becoming giddy with excitement as they approach their first anniversary next month, are held in association with Grower's Mark, and are announced every Friday on the Twitter account @SteveBraunias, except for when he is away or tired. The winner gets two bottles of wine, which explains, according to Braunias, why the ASP credo is: "We don't take the piss. We give it."
Previous winners include Cheryl Riley (Hokitika Guardian), Christchurch author Jane Bowron, Radio Live broadcaster Michael Laws and Southland Times hack Grant Bryant
In a fairer world, without the big-shot TV people, spluttered stand-in chair of the judicial panel Toby Manhire, the prize would have gone to:
- Gordon Campbell and the rest of the contributors to the excellent online publication Werewolf – new issue here.
- Or Coley Tangerina for her reply to a moronic letter in the Dominion Post.
- Or the New York Times web editor who tapped out a trail to NZ's PM, "Jeff Key".
- Or the endlessly inventive Steve Braunias for his acclaimed article on crime in Metro, a publication available in print and microfiche.
- Or the mighty Wairarapa Times-Age for scoring a scoop with the sharp retort from Bob Francis, a former Masterton mayor and IRB man, to Richie McCaw's fresh snarl at poor old Wayne Barnes.
Or the colossally tedious bird-obsessive contest, for finishing.

"Teaching didn't used to be a pressure cooker job," a Philadelphia educator told WeAreTeachers recently. "It was about the life about the classroom and all the learning and small victories that happened every day. Now, its so much more complicated."
To make learning really stick, kids need art, music, drama and hands-on activities. Here are 40 ideas for grades K - 12 to add creativity into your lesson plans.
More and more teachers are choosing to do their professional development though classes conducted completely or partly online. We asked hundreds of teachers who've gone the online route to share their tips on how to know if the online option is right for you and how to succeed once you start.
Restorative justice is a revolutionary program based on respect, responsibility, relationship-building and relationship-repairing. It focuses on mediation and agreement rather than punishment. It aims to keep kids in school and to create a safe environment where learning can flourish. And it appears to be working incredibly well!

Principal Issues
- Heritage Foundation's mission is "to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense."
- Heritage is the largest conservative think tank in Washington, DC.
- It researches, publishes, lectures on, and markets right-wing public policy.
- It organizes right-wing activists on domestic and foreign policy issues.
- Heritage's publications are distributed to many thousands of people, including Members of Congress, congressional aides and staff, journalists, and major donors.
- It takes credit for much of President Bush's policy, both domestic and foreign, referring to Bush's policies as "straight out of the Heritage play book."
- Heritage supports faith-based initiatives, school vouchers, ban on abortion, overturning affirmative action programs.
Recent Activities
- The Heritage Foundation (HF) suggested that Bush open up an "Office of Marriage Initiatives" to promote marriage, but instead Bush folded HF's "pro-marriage" proposals into his welfare reform package, setting aside $300 million dollars for states and local communities to "promote marriage."
- Heritage's new office space, renovated in 2002, includes intern and fellow apartments, a 200-seat auditorium, a private fitness center, and two floors dedicated to expanding the research department.
- Published "Priorities for the President," written for President Bush. Heritage also wrote "A Budget for America," a companion volume written for the Bush administration.
- Internet activities: in 2001, Heritage reported 4.8 million visitors to their homepage, and 14.4 million visitors to their conservative Internet portal, Townhall.com.

Olin Foundation, Inc., Castle Rock Foundation, JM Foundation, Claude R. Lambe Charitable Foundation, the Richard and Helen DeVos Foundation, and the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation.
- Heritage has received donations from the East Asian nations of South Korea and Taiwan; SourceWatch reports that in 1988 Korean intelligence discovered that Heritage received $2.2 million from the South Korean National Assembly during the 1980's. Although Heritage denies this claim, they do admit to receiving a $400,000 grant from the Korean conglomerate Samsung.
- The Korea Foundation, a conduit of the Korean government, has also donated almost $1 million to Heritage in the past three years.

- In 1980, Heritage published a 1,077-page book called Mandate for Leadership, which contained 2000 policy recommendations. It was presented to Attorney General Ed Meese a week after Reagan's election. Meese was quoted as saying that "the Reagan Administration will rely heavily on the Heritage Foundation." These recommendations included: rollback of minority programs, dramatic increase in military spending, and cutting taxes. In 1985 Heritage claimed that the Reagan administration's policy reflected 60 to 65 percent of their policy measures. Heritage publishes a new edition every four years for subsequent administrations.

– Russ Bellant, The Coors Connection, 1991

Completing the set is this string of photos from his cameo appearance at the Nicki Minaj Pink Friday tour stop in NYC. Much like the last sighting he keeps his whole outfit locked on to the sneakers, ditching that white Puff Daddy era tracksuit for an all black look here complete with a bit of gold around the neck. Continue reading to take a look at all the photos and let us know in the comments below which pair from the 'Golden Moments' package you're more excited for.

Posted: 11:27 p.m. Tuesday, July 24, 2012
By Kate Morin
June 30, 2012 —
Whether it's fueling up before hitting the gym or taking a mid-day snack break to avoid the 2 o'clock lull, high-protein snacks are the tastiest way to keep on going. Protein snacks are the perfect way to fill upjust enough, and give us longer-lasting energy than the usual, carb-heavy options. Here are 31 of our favorite protein-packed snacks — one for every day of the month! We promise you won't get sick of any of these choices.
1. Cottage-Style Fruit: Top ½ cup cottage cheese with ½ cup of your favorite fruit. Why not try some superfoods? Bananas, mixed berries, and melon are some Greatist favorites!
2. Beef or Turkey Jerky: Be careful to avoid sodium- and sugar-filled brands, but low-sodium, natural, or lightly-flavored options are a great source of protein. And this chewy snack is super-portable and keeps fresh for months when packed properly. A one-ounce serving (the size of most single-serve packs) contains about 9 grams of protein!
3. Mixed Nuts or Trail Mix: This is a favorite in the Greatist office. Mixed nuts are an easy way to get a delicious dose of protein in a convenient, shelf-stable package. Try a mixed bunch for variety and a combo with dried fruit for some added sweetness. The best bang for your protein buck?Almonds and Pistachios are high up there in protein while comparably lower in saturated fat than their nutty peers.
4. Pumpkin Seeds: Those orange gourds aren't just for Halloween. The pumpkin insides, scooped out to make room for spooky faces, can actually make a healthy little snack once they're washed, dried, and nicely roasted! Just ½ cup of pumpkin seeds has about 14 grams of protein — the perfect pre-workout snack!
(Also Check Out: 50 Awesome Pre and Post-Workout Snacks)
5. Hard-Boiled Egg: Inexpensive and loaded with nutrients, eggs are one of the best ways to get a healthy dose of protein. Try hard boiling and pre-peeling a dozen at the start of the week and throw one in a small Tupperware container each day for an easy on-the-go snack. (Feeling extra famished? Slice the egg and place it on a piece of whole-wheat bread.)
6. Deli Rollup: Top 2 slices of low-sodium deli meat (turkey, chicken, or roast beef work great!) with 1 slice of lowfat cheese and a shake of pepper. Add a slice of tomato or some lettuce for extra veggie points!
7. Nut Butter Boat: Any vehicle for nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew, perhaps?) is perfection in our book. Try loading a few celery sticks with 1 tablespoon of any nut butter topped with a few whole almonds or raisins (oh yeah, we went there). If you're not a fan of celery, try scooping out the middle of an apple and fill it with a nut buttery surprise!
8. Mini Bean-and-Cheese Quesadilla: It might take an extra minute to prep, but combining these two high-protein treats is worth it! Fold ½ cup black beans, 1 tablespoon salsa, and 1 slice cheddar cheese in a small soft tortilla. Cook in a dry nonstick pan until cheese is melted and tortilla is lightly browned. Wrap in foil and stick in a plastic baggie for easy transport.
9. Shake It Up: The combinations are endless with protein shakes. And one scoop can go a long way! Our favorites? The "Protein Creamsicle" — 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder, 1 cup orange juice, and 1 cup ice blended until smooth — (thanks @JCDFitness!), and the "Star-buffs Shake" — 1 cup iced coffee (with ice) and 1 scoop chocolate whey protein, blended — a caffeine-filled creation from Greatist's fitness editor, Jordan Shakeshaft.
10. KIND Bar: We're not huge supporters of prepackaged bars, smoothies, and the like, but we make an exception for KIND bars. Their classic varieties are a great source of protein from the all-nut base (coming in at around 5 grams per bar), but for an even higher dose of the good stuff, try Kind Plus varieties with added protein. (An office favorite is Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate + Protein — one bar has 7 grams!)
11. Easy Oatmeal Raisin Cookie: Flash back to elementary school snack time with this sweet (but still healthy!) treat. In a microwave-safe bowl (or mug), mix ¼ cup oats, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour (of your choice), 1 egg white, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon raisins. Flatten mixture into bottom of bowl and microwave on high for 45 seconds. Cool, pop it out of the bowl, and enjoy!
12. Tofu Sticks: This soybean-based protein bomb isn't just for stir-fry and Asian takeout menus! When sliced into sticks and baked, firm (and smoked!) tofu can make a great snack food, especially if it's served with a side of homemade tomato or teriyaki dipping sauce — just don't overdo it!
13. Chunky Monkey Shake: It's time to get funky, monkey! Blend 1 medium banana, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, and 1 cup of low-fat chocolate milk with 1 cup of ice for a protein-packed pick-me-up.
14. Edamame Poppers: The only thing more fun than how much protein you can get from a serving of edamame is getting to eat these little beans out of their bright green pods! One cup of the pods offers about 17 grams of protein. Buy them fresh and steam for about 6 minutes, or use the pre-cooked frozen variety and briefly microwave to defrost (about 2 minutes) before chowing down.
15. Hummus Dippers: How's this for an unconventional use of a travel coffee mug: Put 2 tablespoons of a favorite hummus in the bottom of the container. Stick a handful of vegetable sticks (carrots, celery, and snow peas are a great mix!) vertically in the hummus, screw on the top, and throw in a purse or gym bag for an easy, on-the-go, super-healthy snack. Time to take a break from the moo-juice! While cow's milk does have it's nutritional benefits (calcium and vitamin A, to name a few),
17. Portable Cheese Platter: Everyone wants to feel classy every once in a while, right? Make yourself a mini cheese plate with a reduced-fat cheese stick (or 2 slices of cheese), two whole-grain crackers, and a few roasted almonds.
18. Banana Nutter: Few pairings are more comforting than a classic peanut butter and banana combo. Top a rice cake (brown rice for extra fiber points!) with 2 tablespoons of your favorite nut butter and half a banana, sliced. Sprinkle with cinnamon for some extra healthy benefits!
19. Silver Dollar Protein Pancakes: Props to Greatist contributor Laura Skladzinski for this killer recipe. Mix 4 egg whites, ½ cup of rolled oats, ½ cup of low-fat cottage cheese, ⅛ teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Cook on a preheated griddle (medium low heat) until mixtures bubbles, flip and cook for another 60 seconds. Top with fresh berries or sliced banana.
20. Chocolate Milk: No, we're not going back to preschool. Low-fat chocolate milk is actually a great source of high-quality protein (especially post-workout)! Try keeping a single-serving, shelf-stable box in your gym bag (or purse) for snack attack emergencies — just try to find one that's also low in sugar! (I'm a huge fan of Horizon Dairy's single-serve, low-fat chocolate milk boxes.)

May 19, 2011 alvinology funny shit, games 2
This chuckled me up:
After snooping around on Google, I assume the original "real life Angry Bird" picture might have originated from this blog post. 🙂
In case you have been living in Mars the past year:
Angry Birds (via wikipedia) is a puzzle video game developed by Finland-based Rovio Mobile. Inspired primarily by a sketch of stylized wingless birds, the game was first released for Apple's iOS in December 2009. Since that time, over 12 million copies of the game have been purchased from Apple's App Store, which has prompted the company to design versions for other touchscreen-based smartphones, such as those using the Android operating system, among others.
Now, to search for the "real life bad-ass pigs" and the rest of the birdies gang in the Angry Birds game! 🙂

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 weekPros:
Good amount of light for 3 LEDs. Beam throw is very very good
Build quality is excellent
Can run on 2 batteries too!
Rubber Gasket for sealing
Two modes
Should be cheaper
Four batteries mean using multiple chargers
Not pocketable
This is an excellent torch, but with 3 LEDs the price should have been around 35-40$.
the button seems a little soft, and only time will tell about its life and quality.
I think this is the brightest torch 50$ can buy right now.

The article discusses how the metaphor of jazz music making is used to facilitate visualisation and application of more 'holistic' approaches, professionalism, strategic thinking, integration, and creativity in the strategic management capstone course. The evidence shows that students adapt well to and enjoy the jazz metaphor, and find that it facilitates their learning of the subject.

A three-vehicle accident on Pageland Highway claimed the life of a Pageland woman, injured another from Kershaw and closed part of the highway for several hours.
Norma Plyler Moree, 69, of 134 Faulkenberry Road, Pageland, was killed in the accident. An autopsy is scheduled for Thursday morning.
S.C. Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Gary Miller said Moree was following a tractor-trailer west on Pageland Highway at 10:24 a.m. when Heather Marie Rollings, 23, of Kershaw crossed the center line in a pickup traveling east.
A single-motorcycle accident killed a Lancaster man Saturday on Suttle Road, according to S.C. Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Gary Miller.
The Lancaster County Coroner's Office identified the victim as 50-year-old Rodney David Cauthen Sr. of Lancaster. Cauthen was pronounced dead at the scene. Police began their investigation at 4:45 p.m.
Cauthen was traveling east on Suttle Road, near Port Side Road, 2.5 miles south of Lancaster. He drove off the right side of the roadway and struck a manhole, Miller said.
An 89-year-old Kershaw man over the past nine months withdrew as much as $100,000 from his credit union and sent it to scammers who promised him millions in sweepstakes winnings, according to a sheriff's report.
The man's daughter in New Jersey reported the crimes Sept. 7 after discovering during a visit that her father had been sending cash and numerous money orders to recipients overseas and in the United States.
After saving for 30 years, the McDonald Green Volunteer Fire Department finally raised enough money to add on three new bays, and it moved into the space this month.

"We are all so excited," Ghent said Tuesday. "We have struggled for room and space the last 20 years…. Now that we've got it, we feel like we've opened up a new world."
Two University of South Carolina Lancaster baseball players were charged with animal mistreatment Thursday after an off-campus incident Sept. 10 that led to the grotesque death of a cat.

When an area college student arrived in Spain in September she needed to get used to the cultural differences. But now after being back in the states for only about three months, she's already landed a job that will take her back to Spain in October.
"I think I definitely will have a more realistic outlook this time," said Erica Motter, Jersey Shore Area High School graduate and Lock Haven University senior, as she prepares for her second trip to Spain in as many years. "I'll know now what to expect."
Motter, a communications major, said she always has been interested in languages and studied Spanish since her ninth-grade year, which helped her make the decision to study abroad while attending Lock Haven. Studying abroad was her main goal - besides graduating in four years, a goal she is set to meet in May - when going to college.
Article Photos
Erica Motter, Jersey Shore Area High School graduate and Lock Haven University senior, recently returned from a semester of studying abroad in Spain. Motter will return to Spain in October for a job teaching English.
Motter is pictured during a protest of the economic climate of Spain in fall 2012. She described it as an "Occupy Wall Street" type of protest.
"It was a really good opportunity," said Motter, on why she chose to study abroad.
While in Spain for a semester, Motter took Spanish grammar and Spanish conversation. But perhaps the biggest lesson she received there was culturally. From sports to food to the pace of life, mastering the culture was just as important as her studies, Motter found.
"I had culture shock as soon as I got there," she remembered. "... For the first week I was there I was worrying."
Article Map
Motter said it took about a week for her to feel comfortable in her new home town of Ronda. And although she has studied the language for eight years, it still was "overwhelming," she said.
Even when meeting new people upon her arrival was new. Complete strangers came up to her and kissed her cheek, which she said caught her off guard. And while life in the states can be very fast paced, in Spain everything is slower.
"I knew it was going to be slow paced but I guess I didn't know how relaxed it was going to be," Motter said.
She explained that its common for people to take their time getting to meetings and to take Siesta for three hours in the afternoon. Stores are closed for the duration of Siesta.
The violent sport of bull fighting and the economic crisis also were a shock to Motter. But a part-time job she had during her semester abroad, has helped her prepare for a seven-month stint she will be doing in October. For two days each week, Motter would help a 10 and 12 year old learn English.
"(The parents) want you to hang out with their kids so they know what English sounds like," Motter explained.
After meeting others in the government program, Motter applied and will be heading back to Spain to perform a similar set of tasks from October to May 2014. There is an option for her to renew her contract, if she chooses to do so.
Her study abroad experience and new job has made more outgoing, Motter said. Besides a semester of living in a dorm while attending Penn State University, Motter said she had never lived away from home.
She still hopes to write and travel after coming back to the states after her second stint in Spain but she said she couldn't pass up this opportunity.
"Just living there made me a lot more confident to go out and do things," she said.

Well worth the effort to prep and cook it
This was on offer so I stuck it on my order. One superb anniversary dinner. We loved it with prawns

Worth the effort ! Buy it NOW!!
This isn't at all an open and pour kind of quick meal. But boy does it deliver on the taste bud front. I am of Indian decent and this is exactly how we would cook an Indian meal. What's great about this little kit is that it gives you all the ingredients in the right amount, so the spices are fresh and you don't have to have a huge spice larder than goes off due to infrequent use. Most importantly, you can adjust the heat from very mild, to quite hot because of the extra chillies they give you. Superb! If you haven't tried this..... What are you waiting for!!??

Brilliant, tasty and well worth the slight fuss
The instructions are clear and easy and with a little bit of effort - chopping an onion, chilli, tomatoes and grating garlic, ginger and coconut - you have a fantastic and tasty meal. Very impressed with the flavour and as I bought it as part of a deal, I was really happy with the price.

A marvellous kit! It was nice to spend the time prepping the ingredients with the added bonus of it all being measured out for me. The instructions are great - prep then cooking, with tips for extra water and times for each stage. The heat guide is good too - I used two chillies no seeds and it was plenty hot enough for me but I think it would be considered quite mild for less wimpy curry eaters. I'll be buying these often and will try the other varieties. I would probably use the kit in the day or two after delivery for maximum flavour of the fresh ingredients, but that's completely untested as I couldn't wait longer than a day to try this out!

very easy
I'm a terrible cook and I hate looking for difficult to find ingredients and don't just have spices lying around. If you want to make something healthy and tasty this is so great. I make it last two nights and have salmon one and prawn the other. more options please.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- What do you do after work on rainy Thursday? How about riding your bike through the mud? Over 100 mountain bikers rode the muddy trails on top on Monte Sano after work to kick off the SORBA-Huntsville 2014 Thursday Time Trial Series.
So how do men, women and children start riding their bike on the mountain-top trails on Thursday nights? According to Scott Schlapman, time trials chairman, "Four years ago we were at a cross roads with the mountain biking club. We were in need of gaining members and promoting the sport of mountain biking. People don't realize how blessed we are with having a State Park in our back yard. I read about a similar type of event in a magazine and thought it could work for us. So I organized the first Thursday Night Time Trial Series. I was expecting maybe 10-12 people."
Tonight 106 people rode in the mountain-bike time trial.
"So the first year was very informal, each night everyone tossed $2 into a jar and at the end of the series it was 'Winner Take All'. " Schlapman said in an email. "Well, it became so popular that we no longer charge a entry fee, it's free to SORBA members, and everyone competes for one of the custom stone trophies."
Thursday, riders ride along established trails in Monte Sano State Park under a canopy of old-growth trees, between rustic cabins, past an old fire tower and out to historic O'Shaughnessy Point and back to the start near the mountain bikers parking lot.
Thursday's ride was an easy starting ride, according to Schlapman "tonight's course was the easiest one we do. It's flat and smooth with just a few roots to deal with. The time trial series makes every attempt to make the courses as beginner-friendly as our mountain will allow."
So, who can ride in the the SORBA-Huntsville 2014 Thursday Time Trial Series? Anyone can ride, you just need a bike, helmet. You must be a SORBA Huntsville member. It's only $30 a year and we do several events through out the year.
Schlapman adds, "This is a family friendly event put on over the course of 11 weeks during the summer. We strive to make it a fun, no stress, social event with a little riding worked in. We want to promote the club and all it has to offer. We love our little state park and the clubs main focus is seeing that this park is hear for years to come and the possibility of growth. We want to promote the sport of mountain biking and all the social benefits that go along with it. We typically have food and refreshments each week and a big raffle at the end of the series."

I wouldn't say that the site is geared towards weight loss -- just that most people seem to need to lose weight. I've seen people who are here because they want to make lean gains, others who are just here to get control of various diseases/symptoms with no need for weight gain or loss.
What I enjoy around here is that most people seem to be interested in getting healthy, and doing it without the stress. Oh, there will be exceptions (aren't there always), but for the most part this is a low-stress zone.
I'm not qualified to give advice on the lean gains thing, but I'm sure someone will pipe up. If not, go to the fitness forum and post something with "lean gains" or similar in the title rather than "hello" :-) That should get their attention.
Anyway, welcome, and good to have you around!

Acer Aspire V5-573PG-9610
Average of 1 scores (from 1 reviews)
Reviews for the Acer Aspire V5-573PG-9610
Source: PC Mag
A year ago, a desktop-replacement laptop with touch capability would be enough on its own to earn high marks. With so many to choose from today, the Acer Aspire V5-573PG-9610 fails to pull to the front of the pack. It offers average performance, a fairly standard collection of features, and a lower-resolution display. At this price we expect better, and the Editors' Choice Asus N550JV-DB72T delivers better performance, a higher screen resolution, and similar entertainment capability, for less than $100 more.
Single Review, online available, Very Short, Date: 05/21/2014
Rating: Total score: 70%
The Aspire V5 has a plastics body and is slimmer and with 2 kg also lighter than the competition. Acer has targeted users looking for a portable machine. In many aspects, this device is average in its class and does not stand out. The 15.6 inch capacitive touchscreen features a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels and supports 10-point inputs, which is perfect for the pre-installed Windows 8. Colors are bright and crisp, and the viewing angles leave nothing to complain about. The full-sized chiclet keyboard with number pad offers a decent typing experience. In addition, it comes with an extra- large clickable touchpad with support for Windows 8 gestures.
Inside the Aspire V5 there is a 750GB hard drive, which is a decent amount of storage, and a 1.8GHz Intel Core i3-3217U ULV dual core processor. The performance is sufficient when compared to competitors of the same price range. It can handle light multimedia tasks easily, but is not suitable for hardcore gaming. But, casual social games are not a problem. Considering how thin and light the build is, battery life is a concern. Unfortunately, the Acer Aspire V5 fares much, much worse than the competition here. Overall, this is a good looking, well designed machine for an affordable price. Battery life is its main shortcoming, but if that's not an issue, the Acer Aspire V5 is great value.
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M: Upper mid-range graphics card of the GeForce GT 700M series. Based on the Kepler architecture and manufactured by TSMC in a 28nm process.
With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
Haswell-based ULV dual-core processor clocked at 1.8 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.0 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4400 and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
15-16 inch is a standard display size for laptops and offers the biggest variety of products.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

Only eight years ago, upon the publication of the third edition of his "A Biographical Dictionary of Film," David Thomson used that book's introduction to make note of a curious consistency. "The versions of this book have been written in longhand... In other words, no computer, no database." Now, there is a fourth edition-- expanded and retitled "The New Biographical Dictionary of Film."
Only eight years ago, upon the publication of the third edition of his "A Biographical Dictionary of Film," film critic and historian David Thomson used that book's introduction to make note of a curious consistency. "Despite technological changes in the last 20 years," he wrote, "the versions of this book have been written in longhand, with references to books, magazines, catalogs, notes… In other words, no computer, no database." Now, there is a fourth edition of Thomson's tome — spruced up, expanded and retitled "The New Biographical Dictionary of Film."
The author's low-tech approach may have contributed to some factual problems here. But there is still much more good than bad about the new edition. Having swollen to nearly 1,000 pages, its more than 300 new entries range from the inevitable (Michael Bay) to the long overdue (Abbas Kiarostami, Hou Hsiao-Hsien) to terrific young talent working in front of the camera (Edward Norton, Reese Witherspoon) and behind it (Michael Winterbottom, David Fincher).
Thomson has also turned more attention than ever to cinematographers, production designers and even other critics (Pauline Kael and James Agee among them). The new pages are strewn with vintage Thomsonisms: Samuel L. Jackson is "Morgan Freeman cut directly with Eddie Murphy"; "Cast Away" is "an abominable FedEx promo." On the subject of Wes Anderson, only this: "Watch this space. What does that mean? That he might be something one day."
In reading the book, one marvels at what a difference eight years can make.
When Thomson last published, there was barely an Internet Movie Database (and, for most, barely an Internet at all), whereas now that very Web site has invaded the author's stridently anti-technological sphere, and done so to a fault. For even the casual reader of this "New Biographical Dictionary" may take pause at Thomson's assertions that James Cameron is at work on "Terminator 3," that Tony Richardson's "Blue Sky" has never been released and that Michelangelo Antonioni's "Destinazione Verna" (a film that has never been made) "has hardly been seen."
There is more: non-existent films are credited to the resumes of Sidney Lumet, Robert De Niro, Richard Harris and others. These are factual oversights, easily traceable to hoax Internet sources that should never have gotten past a first-year copy editor, let alone Thomson. (As Thomson himself has written, "Movie reference books have one essential level of data: the credits on pictures.")
Left in, they help bolster the criticisms of those who claim that Thomson does not see or know enough about contemporary movies, and is therefore too quick to leap to the "cinema is dead" pulpit.
Most distressingly, they are interruptions that may impede readers unfamiliar with the supreme pleasures of Thomson from discovering them, especially as Thomson has hinted that the "New Biographical Dictionary" may be the last.
Thomson is a powerful antidote to the lip-service, hype-mongering celebrity journalism that has increasingly come to pass for film criticism in America. Even better, he is a magnificent prose stylist, so clearly in love with movies and so alive to their possibilities.
His "Biographical Dictionary" (however misnamed and occasionally misinformed) is more than mere film history, but a series of interlocking adventures in the dark, carried along on a tide of memories.

Hi everyone, Bryan here. There is a common misconception that because the SDL was originally created for Microsoft's big showcase box products like Windows and SQL Server, that it only works for those kinds of products. This is of course patently false: virtually every Microsoft product and online service, large or small, follows the SDL. Many other organizations outside of Microsoft are also successfully implementing the SDL. However, while the content of the SDL – its requirements and recommendations – may be universal, the structure of the SDL as originally designed is more suited to long-running waterfall- or spiral-style development methodologies. Consider the classic "chevron" SDL graphic:
As you can see, the SDL prescribes certain activities to take place during certain phases of the development lifecycle – threat modeling for example happens during the Design phase, and static analysis is performed during the Implementation phase. But not every development methodology has well-defined lifecycle phases like this. Specifically, Agile development methodologies do not have distinct phases and instead follow an iterative, time-boxed approach. How can the SDL be applied successfully in these environments?
One solution might be to take all the SDL requirements and put them into the product backlog, then pull them into the active queue (aka the sprint backlog, if you're using Scrum) just like any other user story. This might work adequately for box products with well-defined product lifecycles that use Agile; for example, the Visual Studio teams that follow Scrum would fall into this category. However, the majority of internal teams (and very likely the majority of all development teams outside Microsoft too) that follow Agile use it to build web applications. This is important because web applications often don't have a defined "end"; they just keep building and growing indefinitely. If we put the SDL requirements into the product backlog, it might take a year or more for a team to complete them all, but all the features added to the product after that date would go unsecured.
An alternative solution might be to just apply the entire SDL to every iteration. This would solve the problem of unsecured functionality being added after the SDL requirements have been completed, but it would create a whole new problem just as big, namely: how to complete all that SDL work in such a short amount of time! Per the Agile Manifesto, Agile projects should have short iterations, lasting from one month to a few weeks or less. There are online services teams here at Microsoft with one week long sprints. There's no way these teams could complete the entire SDL in a sprint that short. And even if they could, there would be no time left to actually develop new features.
Another alternative would be to pare back the SDL, to cut out the "unnecessary" SDL requirements and just complete a smaller, core subset of the SDL each iteration. Unfortunately, this approach is flawed too, because none of the SDL requirements are unnecessary. Every requirement has been proven to prevent vulnerabilities or to reduce the impact of a successful exploit. Leaving requirements out of Agile projects would jeopardize their security, and that's simply not an acceptable solution.
However, although none of these approaches solves the problem of adapting the SDL to Agile, that doesn't mean the task is impossible. Over the last year, a team of security professionals throughout the Trustworthy Computing Security and Online Services Security & Compliance teams (including myself and Michael Howard from SDL) have worked to find a solution to the problem. Our resulting process has been in internal beta since the spring, has just recently released internally, and now I'm happy to announce that we're releasing the details of the SDL for Agile Development Methodologies process today.
In brief, SDL-Agile breaks the SDL into three categories of requirements: every-sprint requirements, the requirements so important that they must be completed every iteration; one-time requirements, the requirements that only have to be completed once per project no matter how long it runs; and bucket requirements, the requirements that still need to be completed regularly but are not so important that they need to be completed every sprint.
Over and above the reorganization of requirements into a more Agile-friendly structure, SDL-Agile also provides guidance for adapting many of the core SDL activities to Agile. Threat modeling is a perfect example: a team could easily spend an entire week-long sprint performing threat modeling, but this may not be the best use of their time. SDL-Agile describes how a team can spend an appropriate amount of time modeling new features as well as how to build up a baseline of threat models for existing functionality.
Instead of getting into an in-depth discussion of SDL-Agile in the limited space I have here, I ask that you download and read the complete SDL-Agile guidance here, included as part of the SDL 4.1a Process Guidance document. We believe we've developed a process that is faithful to both Agile and to SDL, in which teams can innovate and react quickly to changing customer needs but in which the products they create are still more resilient to attack. As always, we welcome your feedback.

Special Events/Promotions
Special events can be designed to take the library message outside the library or to bring key audiences, such as legislators, parents or business owners, into the library. Activities such as an "Answer This!" event at a shopping mall or a "Why I Love my Library" contest provide a hook to get media attention and help educate the public.
- Make sure the event supports your key message and reaches one or more audiences you have targeted.
- Schedule the events at a convenient time for your intended audience. For example, seniors generally prefer daytime events. Parents who work generally prefer weekends. If the goal is media attention, try to avoid conflicts with other events. Mondays and Fridays are generally slow news days.
- Tie the event to a national observance such as National Library Week or Library Card Sign-up Month to help attract media interest.
- Thank and recognize your sponsors at every opportunity.

1946 Toots Shor Restaurant Menu Signed by Babe Ruth
Starting Bid - $500.00 , Sold For - $4,406.25
Dinner menu from Toots Shor Restaurant in New York City, for the night of September 11, 1946, signed in pencil ("10") on the cover by Babe Ruth. Toots Shor Restaurant, which was located on 51 West 51st Street, was one of New York's legendary watering holes for the celebrities and sporting figures during the 1940s and 1950s. Owner Toots Shor was especially partial to ballplayers, so one can imagine the royal treatment Ruth received when he dined there. Although Shor always sought to keep his celebrity clientele shielded from fans and autograph seekers, nothing could keep fans away from Babe Ruth, and nothing could keep Ruth from accommodating his fans. This autograph request was honored using whatever was handy, which in this case was a Toots Shore Restaurant menu. The establishment did not normally let their menus walk out the door but on this occasion, with good reason, they obviously made a special exception. This program originates from the famed Barry Halper Collection and was sold in 1999 with the majority of his baseball memorabilia. It has been consigned by that winning bidder and is accompanied by the original Barry Halper Collection property certificate that was issued sent at the time of purchase. The fold-over menu measures 10 x 13.5 inches and is in Very Good condition overall, with a few light creases, but with an overall Excellent appearance. This is an unusual and attractive Ruth signed item originating from one of New York's fabled celebrity "Hot Spots." LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$1,500. SOLD FOR $4,406.25

New Evidence on the Announcement Effect of Convertible and Exchangeable Bonds

EFMA 2004 Basel Meetings Paper
This study investigates the announcement and issuance effects of offering convertible bonds and exchangeable bonds using data for the Swiss and German market during January 1996 and May 2003. The analysis shows that announcement effects of convertible bonds and exchangeable bonds are associated with significantly negative abnormal returns. Unlike previous studies, it also investigates the effect of the market return of the announcement effect and finds that the negative abnormal returns are significantly more pronounced when previous market returns have been negative. Furthermore, we analyze the relation between the announcement effects and equity components by controlling for the equity signal sent to the market. We find the size of the equity component of an issue to have a strong influence on the announcement effect for convertible but not for exchangeable securities and offer an explanation for this difference.

Pa. man charged in threat to Obama had guns, ammo
SCRANTON -- Court records show that a northeastern Pennsylvania man charged with threatening to kill President Barack Obama had a loaded AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, 11,000 rounds of ammunition, a long-range scope and training manuals on long-range shooting.
Nicholas Savino, 42, also held a permit to carry concealed firearms.
The Lackawanna County Sheriff's Office plans to revoke the license and said that's standard for anyone accused of a crime.
Authorities say Savino sent a threatening e-mail to the White House on Aug. 16. It allegedly called Obama the Antichrist and warned him to stand down or be shot dead. He was taken into custody Aug. 22, a day before Obama visited the Scranton area.
Savino's lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

This is a chart showing the expenditures in 2010 of expenditures for the military for the five countries that spent the most. Does anything about this chart strike you as strange?
In world history, we read of the nations that were greatest over time and had the highest civilization. Why? Because they also had the best military for national defense.
When the people in those civilizations became self centered and demanded government services rather than self reliance, the military preparedness sank and so did the civilization.
As the world's leading democracy, we also have obligations to maintain world peace. We have been called on in two world wars as well as other conflicts to help. Sure, it is not a perfect world and the US can't do it alone. But our strong military gives us the edge in dealing with world tyrants. Even Obama is proud of his role in using our military against Bin Laden and Gaddafi. Carter tried when he was president, but the military budgets preceding him and during his term reduced our military to a minimal force. We couldn't even rescue the Iranian hostages because of poor equipment.
A lesson for all of us if we pay attention.
More pointless pot stirring by wahoo.
We have the largest spending and the Largest GDP.

Same factor applies to Foreign aide. The US hands out more foreign aide than any other country, however it is because our GDP is higher. Norway actually give a larger % than we do.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "It's like the president's not our boyfriend anymore," Joan McCarter, an editor at the Daily Kos website
Who do you want to be superior in military, China or USA? I rather be a citizen of the United States of America, not a territory of China. A weak United States will brazen weaker countries to bully (Iran) or eventually try to take over USA (extreme case).
PS: what source did you get your chart from? Its unreliable unless you have a source to back up your claim.
He got it from here:
"As the world's leading democracy, we also have obligations to maintain world peace"
Afghanistan, Iraq (x2), Bosnia, Lebanon, Panama, Grenada, Viet Nam, Korea just to name a few.
How many other countries would like for us to lay a little "peace" on them?
Now, a question: How many countries can you name that have had their troops involved in wars that we were not involved in?
The guide that has been used for some years now on whether to get involved is, "Are the US interests directly or indirectly affected?"
The US has not been involved in the war lords of Africa, or the Russia/Chechnya conflict or even the pirates off Sudan, unless the pirates are in International waters and threaten shipping. Since we have no agreement with Sudan, we can't go into their waters on a mission. Or some that never hit the US news media. Because US interests are not involved, but NATO interests are US interests.
We also have signed agreements with some nations as we learned from the Kuwait incident where Iraq attacked them and caused the Gulf War. Who knows what other nations have agreements with us?
