text: I spent 2 weeks volunteer teaching at the NGO The Mirror Foundation near Chiang Rai in November 2007 and I would recommend it for sure. Unfortunately since I registered knowing I could answer this I can't post links yet :-p so search "Mirror Art Group" in Google and you'll get it, further ahead to read the site than listen to me describe it all, but happy to answer questions :-). I fell in love with Thailand during the month I spent there after finishing my International Development BA (Hons) and have now found the same problem as yourself, no one will hire someone with no experience, and 2 weeks might as well be none really when it comes to competition so I'm now seeking a teaching position in Thailand to begin my quest for experience.

Why this stock isn't acting like a winner in AH when they reported AWESOME numbers…#$%$. And who the %$#@ leaked the earnings….idiots
What's awesome about it? 0.09 of GAAP EPS. Trading at 60x non-GAAP EPS, 50x free cash flow. Cash flow was down a lot YoY. Share count is up in spite of huge share repurchases. This is a $40 stock at best.
THE PROBLEM may be: Marketwatch says they earned 0.09 eps, whereas other reports, probably correctly, state 0.30. This is f---ed up, as was the early release. Now, they beat on the top and bottom line, and they've been all over the place in pricing, and are now basically flat-line or a slight increase.
Strange also is ORCL. It misses by 0.02, and slightly on revenue. Yet, instead of staying down to a 5% loss (I think it was down to 38.30) and now is around 38.90. I guess investors are thinking the 3.5% drop is a buying opportunity. BUT, it seems the guidance and some of the areas they reported in, were not very good, so why buy it at all?
Yes it is overvalued a bit but with good reason, these guys are doing really well…..market wanted .25 they gave .30 EPS…Revs were higher than expected too….$40/share….with idiot investors not knowing how the market is supposed to work, yea I think you're right……this thing will be down tomm and if it's not it will be up a measly 2-3%. All out of the money call option buyers just bent over and took it…..
Not sure either. My only guess is that Adobe has a really complicated biz model and its taking some time to digest. Last time it went down in AH too until end of conf. call because impatient sellers couldn't decipher between current reported revs. vs. guidance on cloud (and those that could bought in next day). So I'm thinking even though they beat estimates people selling now are not "getting" future and thinking "still a money losing" proposition.

|Monday, 03 November 2008 15:49
Mountaineering (mountain climbing) and indoor climbing are the fastest growing sports in the world now. In North America there are now more than 600 indoor climbing gyms, and the sport is enjoying incredible growth in Asia. Here are some figures: China: More than 25 gyms and more than 100 artificial walls in universities, shopping centers, and hotels and resorts; the same in Taiwan; Indonesia: More than 12 gyms, Thailand: More than 20 gyms, Philippines: More than 17 gyms, Malaysia: More than 27 gyms, Singapore: More than 12 gyms… in Japan there are more that 130 indoor climbing gyms!

Syracuse, NY – The same two men may be responsible for 10 street robberies since July in Syracuse's University and Westcott neighborhoods, police said.
The descriptions victims have given of the suspects are similar enough to make police believe the same two men were involved, Sgt. Tom Connellan said.
"The majority of the robberies there have been two suspects, one taller, one shorter, both black males," Connellan said. The suspects typically have been described as being thin, slim, or of medium build. The shorter man typically was around 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall; the taller man was 6 feet to 6 feet 4 inches.
In most of the cases, the suspects stalked or sneaked up on their victims before sticking them up, he said.
"We've worked diligently to try to catch these guys. Unfortunately we haven't captured them," Connellan said.
The department has increased its presence in the neighborhoods. Resident who see anyone suspicious should call E-911 and anyone with information on the robberies that already have happened should call detectives at 442-5222, he said.
The string began with a holdup at 2:15 a.m. July 5 outside 200 Euclid Ave., police said.
Subsequent robberies took place July 6 outside 600 Ackerman Ave.; 11:50 p.m. July 9 outside 900 Westmoreland Ave.; and 1:25 a.m. July 21 outside 504 Greenwood Place.
More than three weeks passed before the next incident, at 12:30 a.m. Aug. 13 outside 1160 Westmoreland Ave. That was followed by robberies at 1:20 a.m. Aug. 17 outside 500 Clarendon St. and 2:20 a.m. Aug. 25 outside 1004 Lancaster Ave.
Incidents this month took place at 3:30 a.m. Sept. 4 outside 600 Kensington Road; 12:45 a.m. Sept. 9 outside 1100 Salt Springs Road; and 2:05 a.m. Sept. 18 outside 200 Harvard Place.
The suspects reportedly were armed with a knife in the Greenwood Place and Lancaster Avenue robberies. The Clarendon Street incident was a strong-arm robbery. The suspects had a gun in the rest of the robberies, Connellan said.
Only one assailant was reported in the Ackerman Avenue robbery, but police believe a second man was waiting in a car nearby, Connellan said. A third man may have participated in the Clarendon Street robbery. Two assailants were involved in the eight other incidents.
The victims have tended to be Syracuse University students, but the robbery on Salt Springs Road was of a Le Moyne College student, Connellan said.
One woman was pistol-whipped in the Kensington Road robbery but no other injuries have been reported, he said.

APEC Energy Ministers Focus on Low-Carbon Energy Security
19 June 2010: The ninth meeting of the Energy Ministers of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) convened in Fukui, Japan, on 19 June 2010, under the theme "Low Carbon Paths to Energy Security: Cooperative Energy Solutions for a Sustainable APEC," and agreed to improve energy efficiency and increase the clean energy supply in the APEC region.
New initiatives supported by the Energy Ministers include: a Collaborative Assessment of Standards and Testing scheme to boost trade and investment in energy efficient appliances; a Nuclear Power Emissions Reduction Potential Study to assess the potential for nuclear power to reduce carbon emissions in interested APEC economies; an APEC Smart Grid Initiative to evaluate the potential of smart grids to support the integration of intermittent renewable energies and energy management approaches in buildings and industry; and the Low Carbon Model Town Project aimed at developing best practices to achieve low-emissions urban communities. On the occasion of the meeting, Japan donated approximately US$3.9 million to promote energy efficiency activities and low-carbon measures in APEC, supporting in particular the Low Carbon Model Town Project.
Ministers also allocated the following tasks to APEC's Energy Working Group: working with the International Energy Agency (IEA) to improve the region's oil and gas energy emergency response capacity; evaluating the potential of unconventional sources of natural gas and biofuels; and promoting the development and take-up of low-emission power sources, such as renewable, nuclear and fossil-fuels with carbon capture and storage (CCS).
The Fukui Declaration issued at the conclusion of the meeting reiterates APEC's commitment to rationalizing and phasing out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption. It also indicates that improving energy efficiency is one of the quickest, greenest and most cost-effective ways to concurrently address energy security, economic growth and climate change challenges, in particular in the transport, industry, buildings and equipment sectors. It further stresses that renewables, nuclear and fossil-fuels with CCS can allow electricity generation to expand in a sustainable fashion without the risk of needing to be curtailed to cope with climate change.
In related news, APEC Ministers Responsible for Trade, who met in Sapporo, Japan, on 5-6 June 2010, reaffirmed the importance of furthering the dissemination and utilization of environmental goods and services (EGS) to address environmental challenges, including climate change, as well as to promote sustainable economic growth, and expressed support to progress on the EGS negotiations in the World Trade Organization (WTO).

DAVID BECKHAM is set to stay with the Los Angeles Galaxy after turning down a chance to join Paris Saint-Germain, the French club said yesterday.
After weeks of negotiations with PSG, the 36-year-old midfielder and former England captain decided he doesn't want to move his family from the United States.
"David Beckham is not coming," PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi said at the Qatar Open tennis tournament. "We feel a little disappointed. But both sides agreed it would be better that we not do the deal . . . maybe in the future."

BBC UKTV is a subscription television channel in Australia and New Zealand, screening British entertainment programming, sourced mainly from the archives of the BBC, RTL Group (mainly Talkback Thames material) and ITV plc. The channel was originally a joint venture with Foxtel (60% ownership), the RTL Group (20% ownership) and BBC Worldwide (20% ownership). It is now owned solely by BBC Worldwide. It is the home of the channel's flagship programme The Graham Norton Show.
The channel was first launched in Australia in August 1996,[1] becoming available on Austar in April 1999 and on Optus in December 2002.[2] A New Zealand version with different programming launched on Sky TV, in November 2003.[3][4]
It shows a mix of repeats of old UK shows previously screened in Australia or New Zealand and new episodes of programs not shown before in Australia or New Zealand. Repeated series include Doctor Who, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Are You Being Served?, Dad's Army, Torchwood, Torchwood Declassified, The Jewel in the Crown, Never the Twain, The Sweeney, and The Bill that have already been seen on free-to-air terrestrial television in Australia. New series include Shameless, new episodes of popular soap operas Coronation Street and EastEnders and the original UK version of The Weakest Link which have not otherwise been screened in Australia.[5] UK soap opera Family Affairs, which has never been screened on free-to-air Australian television, ran on UKTV from 1998 to 2007.[6] In July 2006 UKTV began screening 2006 episodes of UK soap opera Emmerdale which had never before been screened in Australia.[7]
UKTV's episodes of EastEnders are now two weeks behind the United Kingdom, and Coronation Street is around four weeks behind. Hollyoaks is sixteen weeks behind the UK episodes. However, by comparison Emmerdale is more than twenty one months behind the original UK broadcasts.
In addition to British programming UKTV has repeated Australian soap operas Sons and Daughters and Prisoner which were both produced by the Reg Grundy Organisation (now owned by RTL). In both cases the entire series was shown; the Sons and Daughters repeat run was from 1997 until 2000 and Prisoner ran from 1997 until October 2004, Prisoner is now screening on 111 Hits from March 2011. It also screened the TVNZ soap opera Shortland Street for several years in the 1990s, after early episodes of that series had briefly been screened by SBS on free-to-air television in Australia.
In Australia, UKTV, like all pay TV drama channels, is legally required to spend 10 per cent of its total program expenditure on funding new eligible (Australian and New Zealand) drama programs.[8] Such productions include Changi, Supernova, Make or Break and False Witness.
UKTV has separate services in Australia and New Zealand, partly to reflect different local tastes, but also for rights reasons, as many programmes are shown on free-to-air channels in New Zealand. For example, Coronation Street has been shown on TV One for many years, while until May 2009, EastEnders was shown on Prime, before moving to UKTV.
On 3 October 2009 UKTV revealed a new logo, displaying that of the BBC, although its name never been change.[9] On 15 November 2009 the channel launched an HD simulcast, replacing BBC HD.
In April 2013, the channel changed its logo and name to BBC UKTV.[10]
On 1 July 2014, the HD simulcast closed, making the channel solely available in standard definition. This comes prior to the launch of BBC First, which will use the HD feed which was used by BBC UKTV. In addition, BBC UKTV changed subscription packages on Foxtel - moving from the Drama & Lifestyle add-on package to the basic Essential package increasing its reach.[11]
On 1 February 2015, BBC UKTV launched on Australian independent IPTV service Fetch TV, after they won the broadcast rights to BBC Worldwide.[12][13]
On 1 July 2008 BBC Worldwide assumed full control of UKTV. BBC Worldwide previously had a 20 per cent stake in UKTV in a three way partnership with Foxtel and Fremantle Media. BBC Worldwide launched two new Australian channels, BBC Knowledge (documentary and non-fiction programming) and CBeebies (an advertising-free channel for 0 to six-year-olds) on 1 November 2008.[14]

The Obama administration fired back at the National Rifle Association this morning after the gun lobby mentioned his daughters in online videos and labeled the president an "elitist hypocrite" for sending them to a school protected by armed guards.
"Barack Obama won't have two sets of rules - armed guards for his rich friends and their elite schools, restrictions and gun-free zones for ours," the video narrator says in an ad titled "NRA: America Speaks for Itself."
In another, after mentioning that Malia and Sascha attend a school in Washington DC that is staffed by 11 Secret Service agents, the narrator asks: "Are the president's kids more important than yours?"

Mariana Chavez, MD; Jennifer Danniel, MD; Ronald Miick, MD; Doraid Jarrar, MD; Kamran Khanmoradi, MD; Jorge Ortiz, MD
A 68-year-old woman with hepatocellular carcinoma underwent a liver transplant. On preoperative evaluation, she had an α1-fetoprotein level of 43.7 ng/mL (normal range, <8 ng/mL [to convert to micrograms per liter, multiply by 1.0]), and a computed tomographic scan of her chest and a bone scan both had negative results. Her tumor was within the Milan criteria. Her native liver explant revealed a T2 lesion without vascular invasion or lymph nodes positive for tumor. One month later, she underwent a retransplant owing to hepatic artery disruption. The liver pathology only showed ischemia. The patient had a satisfactory recovery.
She presented to the emergency department a year later complaining of nausea, vomiting, and weight loss (6.3 kg [14 lb]). On physical examination, she was anicteric, afebrile, and normotensive with no hepatomegaly. Her workup included a white blood cell count of 3800/μL (normal range, 4-11/μL [to convert to ×109 per liter, multiply by 0.001]), a hemoglobin level of 7.6 g/dL (normal range, 12-16 g/dL [to convert to grams per liter, multiply by 10.0]), a creatinine level of 1.3 mg/dL (normal range, 0.7-1.5 mg/dL [to convert to micromoles per liter, multiply by 88.4]), normal albumin and liver enzyme levels, and a normal coagulation profile. Imaging studies included magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen, computed tomographic angiography, a chest computed tomographic scan, a bone scan, and ultrasonography, all of which had negative results. She subsequently underwent a positron emission tomographic/computed tomographic scan (Figure).

MIAMI (AP) - Miami Dolphins linebacker Zach Thomas came back from a New York trip sporting stitches, saying he was mugged while in the city for a charity appearance.
"The New York Jets beat us twice. I got beat again when I was on the road a couple of days ago," said Thomas, who got five stitches in his upper lip and various bruises during the attack.
Thomas, a former area high school and Texas Tech star, was in good spirits as he recalled the attack, even joking that he knew there was little chance anybody would step in to assist him.
"They didn't help me out mainly I guess because I'm down here from Miami," he said. "I play for the Dolphins. They're big-time Jets fans over there."
The All-Pro linebacker was in New York to appear at a Hunter's Hope fund-raiser last Wednesday, sponsored by former Buffalo quarterback Jim Kelly.
Hunter's Hope raises money for research to find a cure for Krabbe's Disease. Kelly's son, Hunter, was diagnosed with the disease in September 1997.
"If they would have asked ... just ask me next time," Thomas said. "I'll give you my wallet. It doesn't mean anything to me."

Around the water cooler
How much is your data worth to the government? Turns out, it can be a lot.
Government surveillance has developed into a multimillion-dollar market. Fees charged by telecommunications and tech companies for the FBI or National Security Agency to access data are levied in secret.
According to documents reviewed by the Associated Press, the average telephone wiretap costs the government more than $50,000, with big federal cases running as much as $2.9 million.
Facebook says it provides access for free, while Yahoo and Google are estimated to provide e-mail records for as little as $25.
Apple to appeal ruling in e-book case
Apple Inc. says it plans to appeal a New York judge's ruling that found the company conspired with publishers to fix electronic book prices.
Apple spokesman Tom Neumayr says Apple didn't conspire to fix e-book pricing and would continue to fight the "false accusations." He says Apple brought much-needed innovation and competition into the market in 2010.
His comments came after federal Judge Denise Cote in Manhattan ruled against Apple on Wednesday.
Wal-Mart won't build stores if bill passes
Wal-Mart says it won't build three stores it had planned for the District of Columbia if lawmakers approve a bill that would force the retailer to pay its employees at least $12.50 an hour.
Arkansas-based Wal-Mart Stores Inc. had been planning to build six stores in the nation's capital.
The bill is backed by worker advocates.

I have been in the same situation lately and I've tested a few of these

m0n0wall is great, but doesn't have all the features you're looking for.
Redwall is the "I can do everything" firewall, but seems like a
slapped-together and somewhat poorly managed project.

On a Celeron 300 you can expect a frustrating experience with Astaro.
The web interface will be painfully slow and you won't be able to turn
on very many filters/features. I've been using ASL for a little over a
year now on a PII 400.
It's great that they give home users a free license, but the limit of 10
IP addresses is a pain. I know there are ways around it, but I don't
want to monkey around with another router, a dual-NATed connection, and
other associated inconveniences (like having to make NAT and firewall
rules in 2 places if I need remote access).
> Second question, what are suggestions?
A good project I've found is the m0n0wall-based pfsense. It supports
more features (many of those listed above) and allows the user community
to write modules to extend its features. I liked IPCop when I tested
it, but haven't really put it to use yet.
I'm likely to roll my own iptables firewall, so it sounds like we're
moving in opposite directions. I'm tempted to use IPCop or pfsense for
the ease of setup, but I think doing it myself will be a better
solution. If adding all that I want becomes too burdensome I figure I
can switch over any time. I'd better decide quickly as the box I run
ASL on died last night.

KALAMAZOO — Western Michigan University forward Chase Balisy is a second-team member of the Preseason All-Central Collegiate Hockey Association squad, marking the first time since the 2005-06 season that the Broncos have been represented on the squad.
Balisy was WMU's second-leading scorer as a freshman, finishing with 30 points (12 goals, 18 assists). He was named to the CCHA All-Freshman team and was designated a Freshman All-American by Inside College Hockey.
Broncos defensemen Matt Tennyson, a junior, and Dan DeKeyser, a sophomore, made the league's preseason honorable mention squad.
Brent Walton was the last WMU player to make the CCHA's preseason honor squad prior to the 2005-06 season.
The Broncos will play the University of Toronto in their lone exhibition game on Saturday night at Muskegon's L.C. Walker Arena before opening the regular season by hosting the Alabama-Huntsville on Oct. 7.

Maintenance employee killed in conveyor system
A Texas iron foundry is facing a fine of $1,015,000 following an accident that claimed the life of a maintenance mechanic, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced today.
Tyler Pipe Company was cited for 17 alleged safety and health violations at its South plant in Tyler, Texas. The fatal accident occurred on June 29, 2000, when the employee entered a machine pit for routine maintenance and was caught and pulled into an unguarded conveyor belt system.
"Tyler Pipe Company is no stranger to the very dangers that contributed to the death of this worker," said OSHA Administrator Charles N. Jeffress. "Less than a year earlier, OSHA issued citations to this company for violating the confined space, machine guarding and lockout/tagout standards. Had they followed the fundamental requirements of these standards, which we reviewed with them during the earlier inspections, this tragedy could have been avoided."
OSHA's investigation revealed that the employee entered a machine pit alone and conducted routine maintenance while belts, pulleys and conveyors continued to operate. The pit was also a permit-required confined space; however, the employee was allowed to work without the necessary permit.
OSHA assessed Tyler Pipe Co. $420,000 for failure to provide machine guarding on six machine areas. An additional $350,000 was proposed for five alleged willful violations related to lockout/tagout procedures. One other alleged willful violation, with a proposed penalty of $70,000, was issued for failure to address permit-required confined space hazards.
OSHA also cited the company for five alleged repeat violations involving fixed stair requirements, permit required confined space entry provisions, lockout requirements and general housekeeping requirements. A total of $175,000 in repeat penalties was proposed.
"This company should be particularly aware of safety and health policies, having experienced a total of 32 OSHA inspections, including five accident investigations," Jeffress said. "But, our continued visits reveal that safety has not been a primary concern to management. More than 60 percent of Tyler's maintenance employees have been injured on the job, including two fatalities and numerous amputations. This kind of indifference to worker safety is intolerable, and conditions at Tyler Pipe Company must change."
Tyler Pipe Company casts and finishes gray-iron pipes and fittings for soil pipe and utility uses and employs approximately 1,600 workers at two plants in Tyler and one facility each in Pennsylvania, Missouri and California. The Tyler facility is organized into a North and South plant, each containing a casting and finishing area, as well as machine tooling and distribution departments.
A willful violation is defined as one committed with an intentional disregard of or plain indifference to the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and regulations. Repeat violations are those in which an employer has previously been cited for the same, or a substantially similar, violation and which has become a final order and not under contest.
Tyler Pipe Co. has 15 working days to contest the citations and proposed penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

Renée is 'Fabulous'
Monday night, reports PEOPLE, Renée Zellweger arrived without a date at the New York premiere of her new movie, "Bridget Jones's Diary," based on the Helen Fielding bestseller. The actress, 31,was dressed in a black skirt suit -- a departure from the eye-opening yellow vintage gown she wore to the Oscars. While paparazzi screamed her name, the diminutive star dutifully posed for the cameras on the red carpet, as did her co-star Hugh Grant. The movie's romantic interest Colin Firth, however, did not make the premiere because his Italian wife is about to have a baby. Scottish actor Alan Cumming, now appearing in "Spy Kids" and the upcoming "Josie and the Pussycats," was hard to miss at the event, thanks to his spiky yellow/green hair and plaid green with-sherbet-orange stripes suit. Asked afterwards what he thought of the film (which had sparked controversy when the slender American Zellweger was cast as the pudgy British single girl looking for love), Cumming told PEOPLE, "Renée Zellweger was f------ fabulous. And I so admire her because I was in London when it was announced she would play Bridget Jones, and there was so much public outcry about an American playing a quintessential English girl. I thought she was brilliant . . . she did the accent beautifully and the whole demeanor of that type of girl."

I read with interest the article by Vloka et al1 that was recently published in the ARCHIVES. I would like to add to their interesting correlations between neurocardiogenic syndrome and other conditions; we recently reported2 the same syndrome accompanied by Prinzmetal angina and bronchogenic carcinoma. At the time of that report, we saw a patient with severe, recent-onset, crescendo, life-threatening manifestations of neurogenic imbalance that were totally and immediately relieved by administration of a chemotherapeutic agent. At 2-year follow-up, this patient is clinically free of disease (carcinoma) and totally asymptomatic for syncope, angina, and arrhythmias and is not receiving any medication.

5 Reasons Ben Affleck Will Make a Great Batman
#2. Ben Affleck Is Probably Not Going to Be the Most Unbelievably Ridiculous Thing About a Film Called Batman vs. Superman
That section title pretty much sums it up, but to elaborate, Batman vs. Superman already has much more potentially catastrophic things working against it than Ben "Surviving Christmas" Affleck. First of all, Man of Steel was decent, but by no means a game-changing hit. It made a fair amount of money, but barely broke even on everything they spent on production and advertising. Also, nobody really loved it -- the reception of both critics and fans pretty much maxed out at "Well, it was better than Superman Returns." That's generally not the type of praise you spend hundreds of millions of dollars trying to achieve.
BananaStock/BananaStock/Getty Images
For example, we achieved Superman Returns levels of praiseworthiness just by showing this.
Second, Zack Snyder has never made a sequel before, and his movies have a habit of dramatically underperforming. As I mentioned, even Man of Steel didn't do quite the numbers that Warner Bros. and DC were hoping for, and yet they launched right ahead into an exorbitantly budgeted sequel. That's like having two birthday parties in the same weekend and expecting all of your friends to come to both of them, but to bring more of their friends to the second one so it has a better turnout.
Third, Superman himself is tough to get audiences to connect with. He's an invincible alien who always does the right thing. You can only have him hammer punch so many purse snatchers and stop so many plane crashes with his indestructible face before we run out of reasons to care -- it's hard to be on the edge of your seat when Superman is never really in trouble. Paradoxically, the storylines necessary to put Superman in harm's way tend to be so improbably absurd that we don't buy it. For example, kryptonite, Superman's primary weakness, is an element native to a planet that exploded decades ago on the far side of the fucking universe, and yet Lex Luthor always manages to find some as easily as buying a geode from the Nature Company.
"$29.95, and it came with free ladybugs!"
Finally, as Cyriaque Lamar beautifully pointed out, most comics wherein Superman and Batman fight are bafflingly ludicrous, with very little exception. Exactly how grounded in the non-absurd are we expecting this film to be? It's about a jauntily dressed interstellar superbeing battling a karate-genius billionaire orphan dressed up like a bat. I would not be at all surprised if some portion of the movie takes place on the fucking moon, and that will have way more of an impact on the film than Ben Affleck's presence. Batman wears a hood with a pair of motherfucking rabbit ears attached to it, and we're worried that the man underneath that hood is going to be too ridiculous to believe?
People were less outraged over the anti-Semitic overtones in Mel Gibson's The Killing of the Jesus, and that movie was about a real dude at the center of one of the most powerful religions in history. Batman vs. Superman is about two fantastical imagination men punching each other across a world of make-believe. Let's try to keep our feelings of personal injury and anguish in perspective.
Randall Michelson / Wireimage / Getty
At the very least, you'll get to watch a god hit this man's face in slow motion.
#1. Ben Affleck Is Probably Going to Be a Good Batman (At Least for Batman vs. Superman)
Instead of sending out knee-jerk Twitter jokes about Gigli and Daredevil that literally a hundred thousand people have already made, let's take a moment to actually consider what we know about Batman vs. Superman and how the casting of Ben Affleck affects it. If your brain is feeling a bit sticky, do some of those Bane vocal exercises we talked about earlier to help the process along.
If you have trouble doing the voice, just pretend you're a Jamaican stroke victim with half a kielbasa in your mouth.
It's kind of tough to zero in on anything specific, isn't it? That's because the truth of the matter is we don't know anything about Batman vs. Superman. Right now, I know just as much about that movie as I do about Richard Nixon's casket -- I can tell you who's in it, but that's about it.
Despite our loud insistence to the contrary, we have absolutely no idea what kind of movie Zack Snyder and Warner Bros. are trying to make. Ben Affleck might well be the perfect choice for the role, and we don't understand their decision because none of us have read the script treatment or sat in on any production meetings or had anything at all to do with the development of this movie. It's a hard thing to accept, I know, but it's entirely possible that we don't have any idea what we're talking about.
Christian Bale, months before playing a muscular ninja.
For example, maybe in this movie Batman is a famous but controversial figure who fiercely divides public opinion. Maybe he's a bit older and grayer than he was when he first got everyone's attention. Maybe he used to be well-liked, but after a series of public embarrassments and questionable actions, he's had to retreat from the spotlight for a while. Maybe he quietly let the public do what they needed to do with his image so he could continue working behind the scenes, achieving results that people appreciate but are reluctant to give him credit for. Maybe he feels like his work is more important than what people think of him.
Kind of sounds like Ben Affleck, right? Say what you will about Zack Snyder, the man rarely miscasts his movies. There has to be some reason why a room full of creative professionals and powerful executives, armed with a biblically gigantic budget and one of the most popular characters in history, decided to pick Ben Affleck over everyone else. Is it so crazy to think that that reason might, in fact, be a good one?
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
There's a reason they have hundreds of millions of dollars to spend on Superman movies.
I'm not saying everybody is wrong for feeling hesitant about Ben Affleck as Batman, or that the movie is going to be any good. It could be a blustery, turd-speckled seafood fart. If Affleck sucks, I encourage everyone to tell me how wrong I was. I'm just saying that maybe it's time we all stopped acting like we're the only ones who know what's best for Batman, because clearly we aren't.

Alexander Steen is enjoying one of the best seasons of his NHL career. He's currently on pace to set new personal records for goals and points and has been the team's best offensive weapon so far in 2013-14. Steen's success comes in the final year of his current four-year, $13.45 million contract.
The Blues have made it known that they want to keep Steen in St. Louis, but Steen's agent has stated that they do not want to negotiate a new contract with the Blues during the regular season.
As seen in a report from The Fourth Period, Steen's agent has mentioned that Steen doesn't want to negotiate during the season and the St. Louis Blues are respecting his wishes.
Waiting to negotiate until after the season is over is probably the best option for both parties. Contract negotiations can easily distract a player and that's probably the last thing the Blues want considering Steen has been the heart and soul of the team's offense. For Steen, waiting means he can potentially negotiate a larger contract since time will be more of a factor and he could potentially leverage his value based on what's available on the open market. Steen may also be able to command more money if he's able to maintain his current production through the end of the season.
Steen, 29, currently carries a cap hit of $3,362,500 a season. Of all the St. Louis forwards, Steen's contract is the fifth largest. He trails David Backes ($4.5 million), T.J. Oshie ($4.175), Chris Stewart ($4.15) and Derek Roy ($4 million).

Dr. Lyman's research focuses on the effects of naturally occurring genetic variation on quantitative traits in Drosophila. He is particularly interested in variation in abdominal development and patterning. Differences in abdominal structure and patterning occurs between species of Drosophila and can be used in identifying flies to the species level. What is not clear is how much these differences are the result of speciation or if they are involved in the speciation process itself. To address these issues, Dr. Lyman is looking at variation within a single population of Drosophila melanogaster to identify genes that contribute to the variation. These genes can then be compared to their homologs in other Drosophila species to look at differences between species.

The March 2012 update to Google Places for car dealers requires immediate action, especially for GM stores. Brian Pasch outlines the issues in this video and the actions dealers need to take to correctly protect their Google Places page data.
A bug in the mass directory update for car dealers has cause problems for a number of dealers that have contacted me. This includes duplicate listings, over-written data, wrong phone numbers and website domains, and lost reviews.
Google Places Update March 2012
Help With Google Places
Here are the two links to submit problems to the Google Places team regarding your listing:
For incorrect information (or other issues) on any external listing, please visit this troubleshooter:http://www.google.com/support/places/bin/static.py?page=ts.cs&t…
For difficulties verifying a listing (either via PIN or bulk verification), please visit this troubleshooter:http://www.google.com/support/places/bin/static.py?page=ts.cs&t…
These links should help start a process of resolution, according to the Google Jumpstart Automotive Team.
The Google Places team came out to the Digital Marketing Strategies Conference in February, and we hope to have them back for the Automotive Boot Camp since the attendees go so much help from them face to face.
I have submitted my examples of issues directly with Google and I was promised that they would be forwarded to the GP team. They have responded, so the feedback loop is working.
The Future of Google Places
Won't it be a great day when the Google Places platform is cut-over to a stable platform that includes real-time updates?
Stay tuned, better times are ahead. Just be patient, if you can.

CHESTER, W.Va. - Joey Holt is trying to get the best of both worlds - boxing and mixed martial arts.
The 2004 East Liverpool graduate will make his professional boxing debut on the undercard of a show at Mountaineer Racetrack Casino and Resort on Saturday.
An experienced cage fighter, Holt says he wants to stay active in both arenas.
"I still want to do MMA, too," he said. "I've trained a lot for boxing already with what I've done. The boxing part has always been a strong suit of mine. I've won in different ways, but I've always been pretty good at stand-up fighting."
Holt compiled an 8-3 amateur MMA record before turning pro where he has won his first three fights.
"I want to be a two-sport champion," Holt said.
According to Holt, there isn't much difference in the training regimen for both sports.
"Really, the only difference is all I have to focus on is the standing up part," he said. "I don't have to worry about takedowns, there won't be any head kicks or elbows. It really just simplifies things for me."
In preparation for his boxing debut, Holt has been working at Tom Yankello's World Class Boxing Gym in Ambridge, Pa. Yankello, best known for his work with former pound-for-pound great Roy Jones Jr. who is promoting the event, will be working the corner of two of the headliners in Paul Spadafora and Monty Meza-Clay.
"It's a sweet card," Holt said of the Mountaineer lineup of fights. "It's so close to home for me, I'm hoping to get a good following come out. I'm excited for the chance to fight so close to home. A lot of my MMA fights have been in Cleveland or farther away so it's nice to be coming back here."
While Holt is impressed with the talent on the card, one person he doesn't know much about is his opponent. Holt is scheduled to square off against Alan Moore (3-17).
"I really don't know much at all about him," Holt said. "I know he's had 20 pro fights, but I don't even know what his record is. I haven't even looked him up. I'm just focusing on me and what I need to do to be ready."
Holt is a busy man, and that's the way he likes it.
After his Dec. 1 boxing debut, Holt has already scheduled his next two MMA fights (Dec. 29 and Jan. 19). He is hoping to land his second pro boxing match sometime in February.
"I'm just going to stay busy and see where this takes me," he said.
At the top of the card is Paul Spadafora against Solomon Gerome (22-3-1, 11 KOs). Spadafora (46-0-1, 19 KOs), won his last fight on Aug. 18 at Mountaineer against Humberto Toledo (41-8-2, 25 KOs) and is looking to climb back onto the world title stage at age 37. Spadafora, a McKees Rocks native who formerly held the IBF lightweight world championship, served a 13-month prison sentence in 2005 for attempted murder and completed a lengthy stay in rehab earlier this year.
Another co-feature will pit Monty Meza-Clay (33-3, 21 KOs) against Emmanuel Lacero (26-12-1, 14 KOs) in a rematch of a majority decision win for Clay in their bout on July 14 at Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh.
Meza-Clay, a native of Rankin, Pa., has won five straight fights and could be in the mix for a title shot with a victory. Lacero, who started his career at 21-0-1 and has since dropped 12 of his last 17 bouts, has fought the likes of Manny Pacquiao, Daniel Ponce de Leon, Rocky Juarez, Diego Magdaleno and Patrick Hyland.
Youngstown's Jake Giuriceo (16-1-1, 3 KOs) will face Peter Oluoch (11-6-2, 6 KOs). Giuriceo is looking to rebound from his first professional loss.
On the undercard, Pittsburgh's Billy Hutchinson (4-1-2) will take on Jose Caraballo (5-4); Pittsburgh's Morgan Fitch (7-0) will battle Cameron Allen (4-11); and former Steubenville Big Red football standout Angelo Magnone will fight in an amateur contest to begin the night.

Q: What is your job at NASA?
A: My job is to conduct research into the discovery and characteristics of planets around other stars. I use telescopes to observe the universe and nearby stars, looking for planetary systems.
Q: Tell us about your recent discovery?
A: Our recent discovery is very exciting, of a compact system of very small planets around a small red dwarf star. The discovery was originally made by the NASA Kepler team. They made their data public, and we were able to refine and revise the properties of the star in the planetary system. We found it was much smaller overall than we thought. It is a compact system of Earth-sized planets around a very faint red dwarf star.
Q: You found three planets?
A: We found three planets orbiting one red dwarf star. All three planets are smaller than the Earth. The smallest of those three planets is the size of Mars, making these the smallest planets found around another star. This is actually a solar system in that the central object is a hydrogen-burning star like our sun. But that star is not a G-type star like our sun, often referred to as a red dwarf.
Q: Have we found something like Earth?
A: In one respect we have found something like Earth. The planets are so small that the only conceivable concept of these worlds is they are rocky like our Earth. So they very much resemble Mars, Earth, and Venus much more than a giant gas planet. However, because they orbit close to their star, they are too hot to be in the habitable zone, which is the region where liquid water and life could exist.
Q: How does it feel to discover a solar system that is sort of like ours?
A: It is absolutely thrilling. When I started studying planets in graduate school, we were studying Jupiter-size planets. To me that was just amazing, seeing Jupiter-sized planets in unusual orbits around other stars. I couldn't believe it. It was an exciting time to be a researcher. It is a testament to how quickly the field is advancing. It is happening because we have dedicated instrumentation that is targeting nearby stars, looking for tiny planets. When you put resources into this one purpose, you achieve your goals. It is exciting to see that unfold in front of my eyes.
Q: What made you more confident to pursue stuff no one else has done?
A: I lacked a lot of confidence when I started studying astronomy. It was most challenging thing I have ever done in my life. I had an easy time in high school. In college, I found my way and figured out how to get my A's. When I got to graduate school, it was the first time that I encountered questions no one on Earth knew the answer to. There was no answer in the back of the book. There was not a right way to answer that question. I was looking at a difficult problem and trying to devise the method for reaching the answer. Because I was faced with the challenge and I could not do it overnight, it actually decreased my confidence initially. But fortunately I had a strong support network. I eventually accepted the fact it is okay to be stuck. To be a good scientist, you spend a great amount of time being stuck. Because that means you are doing something interesting. That means you are at the cutting edge. When I finally reached the answer, the pride restored my confidence, meaning I can actually do this. So I have been riding off that moment for the past 10 years as an astronomer. It is what helps me wake up in the morning and what keeps me going in my very busy days, are discoveries like these where there was no answer in the back of the book.
Q: What is your advice to young people?
A: A lot of young people believe the only way to be successful in this world is to go through school and get those grades, to go out and get a high-paying job and do your 9 to 5. There are people who are not satisfied with that. If you are not satisfied with that, then science is where to go. This is a field that is flexible enough where you can define your job. You can go out and find out how to investigate the universe. A lot of people don't consider astronomy, chemistry or astrobiology a career. This is a great job to understand the universe. I can't think of a better way to earn a paycheck. If there were a young person who came to me because he or she were really curious about the universe but feeling pressured to go out and earn a big paycheck, he or she should consider other paths. Academia and science are really fun places to work.

I am still unconvinced of the isolationist argument vis Iraq that would have had Western militaries – and probably as a result civilians – quit the entire Middle East, and leave Saddam to wreak havoc as he has before, but my goodness, the case for non-interventionist foreign policy has never looked so good at the moment as the insurgency in Iraq gets worse. Jim Henley sums up the "do as little as possible" school of libertarian foreign policy as well as anyone:
If a war is worth years of struggle, billions squandered and thousands or tens of thousands of dead on both sides, why isn't peaceful change worth as much? Why is it a "bold initiative" to announce a "generational struggle" to transform a region of the world through a war that might or might not achieve its ends, but preemptively absurd to launch a generational struggle to transform the same region through nonintervention, to instill liberalism and justice by exemplifying it? Because people might get killed? People get killed the other way. Because it might not work? Look around you. The other way isn't working now.
My main problem with Jim's argument is that setting an example to the dictatorships, thugocracies etc of that region would strike me as a fairly drawn-out, if not rank impossible, endeavour (that's putting it politely, ed). We are talking about a process that might last thousands of years. And I am afraid that in the meantime, the various despots in that region might not quite get with the Enlightenment programme and develop a continued fondness for blowing infidels up. At best, I would say that such folk might, even at their craziest, be deterrable, which is why I think the libertarian world-view – if I can presume to call it that – should focus on deterrence, and forswear the temptations of what folk called pre-emptive action. But again – and Jim and others have to answer this question – does observing the niceties of national sovereignty always trump other considerations? For me, one of the clearest-cut examples of justified and smart pre-emption was the Israeli airforce's bombing of the Iraqi nuclear facilties in the early 1980s. No doubt some libertarian "leave-well-alone" foreign policy commenters fulminated about that event at the time, in a way that may have echoes now in what is being written about Israel's actions in Lebanon (see the posts below).

FOR MOST of this season, trying to find his team's identity has been like trying to grab a handful of water for 76ers coach Doug Collins. With a roster missing the expected center for the whole campaign so far and a slew of new faces and a lineup continually changing because of injuries, continuity cannot be used to describe Collins' club.
It was never more evident than Wednesday. Though they had won four of their previous five games, the Sixers were without Thaddeus Young, who will miss at least 3 weeks with a strained left hamstring. That forced yet another change to the starting lineup, which changed the rotation off the bench, which led to players playing in unfamiliar roles, which led to an 88-69 loss to the visiting Indiana Pacers.

In the latest issue of Siempre Mujer magazine, Alba says she recently hired a Hispanic studies professor to teach her and Honor Spanish. The actress says she wants to help her daughter avoid the criticism she endured when she was 18 and her non-fluency in Spanish made headlines. "God knows that I wish I was raised bilingual," Alba says. "But it wasn't to be."
She also opened up about her pain from the media criticism, saying she "cried all night" over her portrayal in the press. "I tried to explain to [journalists] that in this country I'm considered Latina and, thus, I consider myself Latina as well," Alba, 28, says. "I identify with Mexicans. It's in my blood whether or not I speak Spanish."
When asked what she'd like to change about herself, Alba switched to a lighter note, wishing for fewer stretch marks – and the ability to "turn my brain off every once in a while. I'm too analytical."

Take a trip down memory lane — just don't venture past last October.
If momentum and familiarity live up to their true definitions, the University of Northern Colorado football team will remember what it was like less than a year ago.
That's when the Bears were no longer being kicked around in the prestigious FCS Big Sky Conference, won on the road and began to show the fruits of their labor.
Head coach Earnest Collins Jr.'s system took hold.
Almost to the point of sounding redundant, Collins had repeatedly mentioned how excited he is about the future of the UNC program.
He could have easily mentioned the present status, recalling his squad's mini fantastic finish a year ago and the start of this season — a 1:35 p.m. kickoff today against NAIA foe Langston University at Nottinghan Field.
"In a lot of situations, the chemistry is there," Collins said throughout preseason workouts.
Senior quarterback Seth Lobato, who has drawn the attention of National Football League scouts more than once in preseason camp, called it "being on the same page."
The book had a prime time ending a year ago when the Bears:
» Embarrassed Idaho State University at home 52-14, the start of a month-long season of success that indicated they were ready to stop the bleeding from a dismal 0-11 season in 2011.
» UNC came up just short in a 14-12 loss to then No. 13-ranked Northern Arizona but didn't let the loss deter what could have been a tough two weeks on the road against a pair of Big Sky Conference opponents — Portland State University and Weber State University — which had their ways against the Bears in the past.
» In two high-scoring games , UNC beat Portland State 32-28 behind Lobato's 316 passing yards, and Weber State 42-34, leaving the Bears one game shy of a .500 record in the Big Sky Conference with a home game finale against North Dakota. Tromaine Dennis rushed for 114 yards against Weber State.
» Again, the Bears persevered and beat UND 28-27, finishing 5-6 overall, 4-4 in the Big Sky and 3-2 at home. Tromaine Dennis piled up 114 rushing yards in the win against Weber State.
Certainly, nobody has even whispered or thought the mantra of how the team could be finding its way in just Collins' second season as the team's head coach. Collins returned to the friendly confines of where he once served as an assistant coach and still holds the school record for single-season punt return yards, 497 yards in 1994 on his way to 978 career punt return yards.
"You can see it though," Lobato said after the team's final scrimmage session a week ago. "We feel comfortable with what we're doing."
Looking to build on some impressive offensive numbers from a year ago — UNC was fifth in the nation in punt returns (17.20 yards); 24th in passing offense (259 yards per game); and Lobato and Dennis were among the top 50 in the nation in total offense (28th, 250.9 yards) and rushing (46th, 85.73 yards per game).
The Bears know all too well the importance of getting off to a successful start against a pair of opponents who compete in a lower division — NAIA Langston University, ranked No. 23; and NCAA Division II Colorado State University-Pueblo, ranked No. 8 — in the first two weeks of the season before going on the road to take on the University of Wyoming in two weeks.
"We definitely don't look ahead," said Collins, explaining how it makes no difference to him what level the opponent is. "We'll focus on what happened (today) at practice and by game week, we'll start focusing on whoever we play, which just happens to be Langston University to start with."
It still can't hurt to put a little stock in the team's finish a year ago.
