Japan takes queuing to a new level with self-driving chairs
It's generally considered that Brits are world-class at queuing, but the Japanese look set to take the title of top queuers.
Whether it's standing in line to get the new must-have gadget, queuing for concert tickets or a table in a new restaurant, the process can certainly be weary for the body.
Now, Nissan, which is best known for manufacturing cars, has invented a solution to save people's legs in the form of a self-driving chair.
Once the person seated at the front of the line of chairs vacates their spot, the others automatically move up a space.
The company showcased its new invention by releasing a video of the system, emulating a scene in a busy restaurant.
Without the need to stand up, diners move along the line, thanks to the application of autonomous technology.
Nissan has put techniques used in its self-driving cars, including cameras, into use to make the chairs function in this way.

Snake causes bullet train emergency stop
It sounds like the plot of a Samuel L Jackson film, but the discovery of a snake on a bullet train in Japan was no Hollywood plot for passengers on board.
The service was travelling between Tokyo and Hiroshima when the reptile was found between some of the seats and action was taken immediately.
After an emergency stop at Hamamatsu city, the 30-centimetre snake was captured by police and removed from the train.
Those identifying the reptile said it was not poisonous and no injuries occurred, NHK reported, with speculation centring around it being a juvenile ratsnake.
It must have been scary for passengers on the train when an announcement was made by staff asking if anyone had lost a snake.
Despite the call, nobody came forward and an emergency stop was made to allow the authorities to deal with the problem.
Haruhiko Tomikubo, a spokesperson for Japan Rail Central, told CNN: "We don't know how the snake got on the train, or if it was a wild or a pet snake."

Animated film, Your Name, smashes records in Japan
Your Name, a Japanese animated film has been smashing box office records since it was released last month (August).
In the first 28 days of being in cinemas, the movie grossed 10 billion yen (£77 million), making it the ninth most successful film in Japanese history.
This is almost unheard of for an animation and Your Name is the only movie of this genre not made by renowned director Hayao Miyazaki to rake in more than 10 billion yen.
More than 7.74 million people have seen the film, which features two teenagers who swap bodies, intertwining their lives.
It has pushed former graphic designer turned director Makoto Shinkai into the limelight and seen fans rush to visit the locations depicted in the movie.
With the 75-year-old Miyazaki looking to retire due to his age, many are now suggesting that Shinkai would be his natural successor.

Magnitude 6.4 earthquake hits south-east of Tokyo
An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.4 has been reported in Japan, with its epicentre being to the south-east of Tokyo.
The tremors were felt at 9.14 on Friday morning (September 23rd), local time, with the US Geological Survey suggesting the quake began at a depth of ten kilometres.
Originating in a spot 230 kilometres outside of the country's capital, nine of Japan's prefectures felt the effects.
Japan's weather agency said that slight changes to the sea level could have occurred as a result, but the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre in Hawaii has not issued notice of large waves.
The quake began in the Japan Trench, which is found in the North Pacific Ocean, and marks the point where the Pacific, Eurasian and Philippine plates meet.
Its proximity to the largest of Japan's islands, Honshu, means there is a constant threat of such activity and there are a number of tremors felt every year.

I've added 3 More Infectious Halloween Decorations You Must Have! I love Halloween decorations, so when I found these next few items, I couldn't let this post go. I decided to update it with a spotlight on three more fantastic Halloween decorations your yard or garden needs to stand out in a unique, scary way!
Posted on 9/29/2015 –
The exterior of your home represents your style and personality, which is why your holiday decor schemes are so important. You're not only showing your festive side, you're showing the curb appeal of your home to neighbors and trick-or-treaters. So many Halloween decorations work and look great, but there are a few unique ideas that will make your home be the one to stand out. Check out our list of Halloween decorations every home needs this year.
Life-Size Skulls & Skeletons
Create a spooky graveyard or zombie scene with life-size skulls or skeleton figurines. Leave the skulls in your garden area, and position the skeletons so they look like they're scaling your home to attack! They will probably remind people of this scene from Army of Darkness.
Rusty Barbed Wire Garland
Create the eerie look of an abandoned prison or haunted asylum with rusty barbed wire garland. This would be great around lamp posts and any unused structures in your garden. Don't place this on things you'll need like the mailbox. It would look sweet, but be mildly irritating.
Black PVC Trees with Orange Lights
Place these artificial Halloween trees so that they're visible in the window, or leave them outside in the garden. They're black with orange lights and perfect for creating a beautiful accent to your scary scenes.
Fabric Porch Banners
Black and orange are typical Halloween colors, but you can always include purple and green for added accents. Use orange and black banners on the porch for an elegant, yet festive look. These banners are great for indoors as well if you're hosting a party.
Zombie Gravestones
Complete a zombie theme with zombie gravestones. Scatter these headstones throughout your front lawn to make it look like an old, creepy cemetery. These would pair well with the life-size skulls we mentioned above.
Decorative Witch Boots
Use Halloween-themed witch boots on the porch or in your front hall for a cute, yet scary accent in your decorations.
Witch Door or Window Panel
Cover large windows or your front door with a scenic silhouette. This frightening image will be the first to greet your guests and trick-or-treaters on Halloween!
Black Roses
Place black Halloween roses in your bushes and throughout the front hall or foyer in your home. These small additions will complement any theme and are hauntingly beautiful.
Candy Corn Lights
Use candy corn lights instead of traditional orange lights for bushes, lamp posts, and other lighting schemes. The subtle difference creates a fun atmosphere in the midst of frightening decor.
Update – 10/19/2015
Danger Ahead Yard Signs
Invite party guests or trick-or-treaters to your door with ominous Halloween signs along the sidewalk and driveway! "Danger Ahead" warns them they're not in Kansas anymore.
Bright Orange Pathway Markers
Safety on Halloween night is important. Illuminate your walkways in style with orange pathway lights on lawn stakes,
Creepy Inflatable Eyeball Decorations
Create spooky scenes in trees or bushes with this 12 pack of inflatable 16″ eyeballs. You're bound to hear at least a few screams as people approach your door.

With significant changes to the way the news industry does business and the way news consumers access this information, a new set of skills is being proposed as essential for today's news consumer. News literacy is the use of critical thinking skills to assess the reliability and source of the information that people consume on a daily basis, as well as fostering self-awareness of personal news consumption habits and how it can create audience bias. The purpose of this study was to examine how adults experience the news in their everyday lives and to describe the nature of the news literacy skills people employ in their daily news consumption. This study purposefully selected four adults who have completed high school, and who regularly consume news information across a number of platforms, both traditional and digital. Two of the participants, one man and one woman, were over 50 years old. One other male participant was in his 30's and the final participant, a young woman, was in her 20's. They all utilized both traditional and digital media on a regular basis and all had differing skill levels when using social media for information. Their news experiences were documented by in-depth interviews and the completion of seven daily news logs. In their daily logs the participants differentiated news information from other information available on-line but the interviews revealed a contradiction between their intentions and their news consumption practices. All four participants had trouble distinguishing between news and opinion pieces in the news information realm. In addition all but one seemed unaware of their personal bias and any possible effect it was having on their news consumption. Further research should explore the benefits of an adult-centered news literacy curriculum on news consumers similar to the participants, and should examine the development of audience bias and its relationship to the daily exposure people have to the torrent of information that is available to them on a daily basis. Description: Thesis (Master, Education) -- Queen's University, 2016-09-26 14:41:56.059 2016-09-27T04:00:00Z UNDERSTANDING ESSAY RATING AS A SOCIALLY MEDIATED ACTIVITY: THE CASE OF A HIGH-STAKES ENGLISH TEST IN CHINA MEI, YI http://hdl.handle.net/1974/14957 2016-09-24T05:13:46Z 2016-09-23T04:00:00Z Title: UNDERSTANDING ESSAY RATING AS A SOCIALLY MEDIATED ACTIVITY: THE CASE OF A HIGH-STAKES ENGLISH TEST IN CHINA Authors: MEI, YI Abstract: Most essay rating research in language assessment has examined human raters' essay rating as a cognitive process, thus overlooking or oversimplifying the interaction between raters and sociocultural contexts. Given that raters are social beings, their practices have social meanings and consequences. Hence it is important to situate essay rating within its sociocultural context for a more meaningful understanding. Drawing on Engeström's (1987, 2001) cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) framework with a sociocultural perspective, this study reconceptualized essay rating as a socially mediated activity with both cognitive (individual raters' goal-directed decision-making actions) and social layers (raters' collective object-oriented essay rating activity at related settings). In particular, this study explored raters' essay rating at one provincial rating centre in China within the context of a high-stakes university entrance examination, the National Matriculation English Test (NMET). This study adopted a multiple-method multiple-perspective qualitative case study design. Think-aloud protocols, stimulated recalls, interviews, and documents served as the data sources. This investigation involved 25 participants at two settings (rating centre and high schools), including rating centre directors, team leaders, NMET essay raters who were high school teachers, and school principals and teaching colleagues of these essay raters. Data were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's (1990) open and axial coding techniques, and CHAT for data integration. The findings revealed the interaction between raters and the NMET sociocultural context. Such interaction can be understood through a surface structure (cognitive layer) and a deep structure (social layer) concerning how raters assessed NMET essays, where the surface structure reflected the "what" and the deep structure explained the "how" and "why" in raters' decision-making. This study highlighted the roles of goals and rules in rater decision-making, rating tensions and raters' solutions, and the relationship between essay rating and teaching. This study highlights the value of a sociocultural view to essay rating research, demonstrates CHAT as a sociocultural approach to investigate essay rating, and proposes a direction for future washback research on the effect of essay rating. This study also provides support for NMET rating practices that can potentially bring positive washback to English teaching in Chinese high schools. Description: Thesis (Ph.D, Education) -- Queen's University, 2016-09-22 22:05:24.246 2016-09-23T04:00:00Z NON-FULL-TIME COLLEGE PROFESSORS: A NARRATIVE INQUIRY INTO THE NON-FULL-TIME FACULTY ROLE MUNDAY, CHAD http://hdl.handle.net/1974/14930 2016-09-24T05:13:01Z 2016-09-21T04:00:00Z Title: NON-FULL-TIME COLLEGE PROFESSORS: A NARRATIVE INQUIRY INTO THE NON-FULL-TIME FACULTY ROLE Authors: MUNDAY, CHAD Abstract: The rate of non-full-time faculty members has increased rapidly over the last decade (Louis, 2009; MacKay, 2014; Meranze & Newfield, 2013), as the post-secondary landscape of fluctuating enrolment, fiscal and operational challenges, and the requirement to hire specialized skill sets have required institutions to rely heavily on this demographic. In the Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology (CAATs) system, institutions have tried to preserve and enhance educational quality with fewer resources through greater reliance on non-full-time faculty. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions and experiences of teaching and support of non-full-time faculty at one Eastern Ontario college. Employing a narrative inquiry methodology, data were collected from four participants through their writing three individual letters at the end of each month and participating in one interview at the end of the contract period. The data were analyzed and coded. This analysis revealed five themes: motivation, connection and engagement, compensation, teaching and development, and performance evaluation. Differences in the participants' perceptions tended to reflect divergences across career stage: retired versus early career. The compensation package provided to non-full-time faculty was considered inadequate for those in the early career stage, especially comparing it to that of full-time faculty. In addition, the amount of previous teaching experience was an important indicator for the appropriate level of teaching resources and support provided by the institution. The newer faculty members required a higher level of support to combat feelings of role isolation. The temporary nature of the role made it difficult to establish a feeling of a strong connection to the institution and subsequently opportunities to engage further to deepen the relationship. Despite these differences across participants, autonomous motivators were consistent across all narratives, as participants expressed their desire to teach and share their knowledge to help students achieve their goals. Participants concluded their narratives by sharing future advice for faculty interested in pursuing the role. The narratives provided areas for improvement that would help increase the level of job satisfaction for non-full-time college faculty members: (a) establishing a more thorough performance evaluation process to align with institutional supports, (b) offering more diverse teaching resources to better prepare faculty and enhance teaching practices, (c) overhauling the compensation package to better recognize the amount of time and effort spent in the role and aligning with the compensation provided to full-time faculty, and (d) including rewards and incentives as part of the compensation package to enhance the level of commitment and availability for the role. These changes might well increase the job satisfaction and improve the retention of non-full-time faculty members. Description: Thesis (Master, Education) -- Queen's University, 2016-09-20 20:55:08.076 2016-09-21T04:00:00Z A case study on a design-informed developmental evaluation Lam, Chi Yan http://hdl.handle.net/1974/14929 2016-09-24T05:13:06Z 2016-09-21T04:00:00Z Title: A case study on a design-informed developmental evaluation Authors: Lam, Chi Yan Abstract: Developmental evaluation (DE) is an evaluation approach that aims to support the development of an innovation (Patton, 1994, 2011). This aim is achieved through supporting clients' information needs through evaluative inquiry as they work to develop and refine the innovation. While core concepts and principles are beginning to be articulated and refined, challenges remain as to how to focus a developmental evaluation beyond those knowledge frameworks most immediate to clients to support innovation development. Anchoring a DE in knowledge frameworks other than those of the clients might direct attention to issues not yet obvious to clients, but which might further the goal of supporting innovation development if attended to. Drawing concepts and practices from the field of design may be one avenue with which to inform developmental evaluation in achieving its aim. Through a case study methodology, this research seeks to understand the nuances of operationalizing the guiding principles of DE as well as to investigate the utility, feasibility, and consequences of integrating design concepts and practices into developmental evaluation (design-informed developmental evaluation, "DI-DE"). It does so by documenting the efforts of a design-informed developmental evaluator and a task force of educators and researchers in a Faculty of Education as they work to develop a graduate-level education program. A systematic review into those purposeful efforts made to introduce DI-DE thinking into task force deliberations, and an analysis into the responses and consequences of those efforts shed light on what it had meant to practice DI-DE. As a whole, this research on evaluation is intended to further contemporary thinking about the closely coupled relationship between program development and evaluation in complex and dynamic environments.

FOX delays 'Almost Human' premiere by two weeks
'Bones' move to Friday is also temporarily pushed back
In an abrupt and somewhat confusing move, FOX has pushed back the heavily promoted premiere of "Almost Human" by two weeks, just two weeks before the J.J. Abrams-produced drama was scheduled to debut.
FOX announced late Monday (October 21) afternoon that "Almost Human" will now launch with a two-night premiere event on Sunday, November 17 and Monday, November 18.
The schedule change occurred just two weeks before the November 4 "Almost Human" premiere date that FOX had been promoting aggressively for weeks.
"Bones" will now air new episodes on November 4 and November 11, moving to its long-threatened Friday slot on November 15, when it will lead into the fourth season premiere of "Raising Hope."
FOX's explanation for the last-minute move is two-fold:
1) "Almost Human" will now get a hefty sampling thanks to an NFL double-header on Sunday, November 17, before moving into its regular 8 p.m. time period on the 18th, leading into "Sleepy Hollow."
2) Perhaps more importantly, "Sleepy Hollow" will be able to return after a two-week baseball hiatus after a new "Bones," maintaining a pairing that has been successful for FOX this fall. "Sleepy Hollow" will get two additional post-"Bones" airing before being paired with the unproven new drama.
Now as to why this semi-logical programming move couldn't have been announced a month ago? That's a different question.

This is one of the best places to go to get a good workout in that is fun and quick and meaningful. So looking forward to many more trips back!
9Round has a distinct energy that can be felt the moment you walk in the door! The trainer's energy creates enthusiasm that build momentum, which leads to results! I love the workouts because they are DIFFERENT EVERY DAY and the calories you burn are out of this world! The trainers are great!! ! If you leave here without creating a good sweat, you didn't TRY! I've made some great new friends and lost 30 pounds!!!
9Round has changed my life! My day is not complete until I have my workout. I have seen great change in my body and energy levels since starting 3 months ago. The trainers are great and always have a challenge for you each time. I would recommend 9Round to anyone that is ready for a great workout because you will see results.
I joined 9round because I wanted to change up my routine. I am a runner and didn't feel I was getting the results I wanted from just doing that. After just 6 weeks at 9round, my endurance has improved, I've majorly increased my strength & lost a few inches in the process. It is such a great, fun workout that is always changing to keep your muscles guessing! The trainers do a great job to keep you motivated also!!! If you haven't tried it I strongly suggest doing so!
Started my day with my first work out at my new favorite gym. I got my butt kicked but in the best way and I'm excited to make working out there a part of my routine! Thanks Tamara for being such an awesome trainer and I can't wait to work out again!!
I absolutely LOVE 9Round! I really love fitness and this is the first time I have found something I love to do everyday ! It's always different and kicks your butt and the trainers are AWESOME ! I really hope it stays in Waconia. Being a mom and being in and out in 30 minutes is perfect for me. Thanks for everything the trainers do. You ROCK!
If this doesn't get me into shape, I don't know what will! It kicks my butt and everything else!!
I am a working mom of 2 little ones. 9Round has been the BEST workout for my busy life! It is fun, efficient, and I feel great! I love 9Round and the trainers! Thank you!!!
The ability to work out when YOU want, quickly and efficiently, is a real winner. And you WILL be tired when you are done. :D
Joined 9 Round a month ago now and I am really enjoying the workouts. As I am getting older I could tell that I was loosing muscle mass which in return added some unwanted pounds and a lack of energy. I can tell that I am firming up,have more energy and overall feel better about myself. The 30 min. workouts go by so fast and the instructors are helpful and encouraging. My kids are also members so we can workout together. Thanks 9 Round!
I love that in just 30 minutes I work my butt off! This workout is for all levels. I am a beginner. The workout is always new to challenge your muscles. Music is upbeat. Club is clean. Great addition to Waconia.

How Wenger impressed wrong Ronaldo
Published 06/12/2008
Arsene Wenger has often hinted at how close he was to signing Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer of 2003 and yesterday he revealed that he got as near as the shirt on the newly-crowned European Footballer of the Year's back.
Wenger said that Ronaldo was presented with an Arsenal shirt with his name on it during a visit to London Colney, the club's training ground.
The battle to sign Ronaldo was eventually won, Wenger said, by Carlos Queiroz, then Sir Alex Ferguson's assistant at Manchester United, who sealed the deal in August 2003. However, the player admitted yesterday that he had been "just an inch away from signing for Arsenal" before United's intervention. Ronaldo said he was so close that his mother Dolores still fondly recalls the time she met the Arsenal manager.
When Wenger was told about Ronaldo's comments in France Football magazine, from whom he will receive the Ballon d'Or trophy tomorrow in Paris, he said – in jest – "I'm disappointed that I only seduced Ronaldo's mum."
Wenger has often threatened to tell the story of how he almost signed the teenage prodigy but only yesterday could he be persuaded to give up the key facts after Ronaldo had revealed just how near he was to playing for Arsenal. Unsurprisingly, it was a question of money, with United prepared to pay Sporting Lisbon £12.25m, three times what Arsenal had already agreed with the club.
"The price that we discussed was much lower, it was [£12.25m] divided by three," Wenger said. "What killed the deal is that United came back from [a pre-season tour to] the United States and played against Sporting and Ronaldo was man of the match. [The deciding factor] was Carlos Queiroz, [but] also the United players must have been dead coming off the plane and Ronaldo was fresh, so he must have been even more dominant.
"I had Ronaldo at our training ground, I showed him around and I gave him a shirt. It has got his name on the back. I wanted him to be here, but most important is he makes a career. He went to Manchester and made a career, he would have done that here, and he is European Footballer of the Year. It's fantastic."
Wenger pointed out that he has since beaten United to other young players and, while he would not name names, it was Arsenal's signing of Aaron Ramsey that particularly hurt Ferguson in the summer. While Arsenal flew the Welsh teenager out to meet Wenger in Switzerland at Euro 2008, United failed to give him the red carpet treatment and he made his choice accordingly. United were also interested in Theo Walcott but they joined the process too late to affect his decision to join Arsenal in 2006.
Wenger said that the problem with signing good young players now was the strength of the competition. "Last night I spoke to a friend of mine [Daniel Sanchez] who is a coach of Tours in France. He said when they play at home they have on average – and they are in the second division – 15-20 foreign scouts watching. It is Ajax, Roma – unbelievable. That means the scouts are everywhere."
Arsenal play Wigan today and will kick-off eight points behind leaders Liverpool. Wenger said he was confident his side could repeat their title-winning feat of the 1997-98 season, when they were 13 points behind United at Christmas. "I am confident we have the quality to do it again," he said. "Why? Because I believe the rest of the Premier League has lifted the level much more and secondly, because I trust my team to be capable to achieve that."

This week in the NBA
Monta Ellis took just nine shots and scored eight points in a loss to Detroit to end the previous week. But he bounced back to score 51 points in the next two games, including 27 in the Bucks' 94-92 victory over Philadelphia on Wednesday. Ellis played 43 minutes against Washington and 46 against the 76ers as coach Jim Boylan relied heavily on his shooting guard. Ellis was 20 of 45 in the two games (44.4%).
The Bucks return from the break with three games against Eastern Conference foes. They open at Brooklyn on Tuesday and play the Nets again at home Wednesday. It's a chance to gain ground on a team ahead of them in the conference race. Milwaukee plays Atlanta at home Saturday night, the first of four meetings over the final 31 games.
Brandon Jennings on a report he wanted to leave the Bucks: "Just because I got a new agent, that doesn't mean I'm trying to leave Milwaukee or I'm unhappy. That has nothing to do with it."
Tony Parker often has held it together for San Antonio when Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili have been out of the lineup. And all three played against Cleveland on Wednesday in the Spurs' 96-95 victory, the first time that has happened since Jan. 13. Parker contributed 24 points, seven assists and six rebounds against the Cavaliers while also defending Kyrie Irving on the final possession. Parker opened the week with 29 points and 11 assists as the Spurs cruised to a road victory against Brooklyn, 111-86. The Spurs point guard is starting to draw attention as an MVP candidate.
The Miami Heat solidified its grasp on the top spot in the Eastern Conference with victories at home over the Los Angeles Lakers and Portland and a convincing road victory over Oklahoma City. Miami extended its winning streak to seven entering the break and moved four games ahead of second-seeded New York in the East. LeBron James had 39 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists against the Thunder. He became the first player to score 30 or more points in seven games heading into the break since Wilt Chamberlain did it in 1962-'63. So if Michael Jordan prefers Kobe Bryant, James hardly has reason to worry.
The break is over Monday as teams return to practice and the final push begins. Boston is at Denver, on Tuesday and Toronto travels to Washington in a battle of much-improved teams. Miami is at Atlanta on Wednesday, and New York at Indiana, the final day before the trade deadline. The Heat travels to Chicago for a TNT game Thursday night, and San Antonio faces the Los Angeles Clippers in the nightcap. Houston is at Brooklyn, and Dallas travels to New Orleans on Friday.
Jennings was not happy about failing to make the All-Star Game.
In fact he was so upset he declined an invitation to take part in the skills competition on Saturday night.
It's hard to blame him for that. He's already been in the Friday night game for rookies and second-year players. He wants to be in the big show and thought he had the credentials for it this year, particularly when the Bucks had a winning record.
So does that contribute to Jennings thinking it may be time to move on?
Of course.
Jennings is searching for respect and must earn it with his play. But it's fair to say the Bucks do not generate widespread attention league wide or in the national media and he sees that.
The last time the Bucks had an all-star was nearly a decade ago (Michael Redd in 2004). Strangely enough, having a player back in the all-star mix is something the franchise needs.

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has proposed changes in city water-rationing laws. The proposed changes would divide water users into two groups that would water their landscaping on different days. The new regulations are aimed at preventing fluctuations in pressure that can cause pipe ruptures, which are expensive to fix. The current law allows sprinkler use on Mondays and Thursdays for 15 minutes or less per watering station.

Have a look at these promos for the Once Upon a Time episode 2×16, titled The Miller's Daughter, which guest stars Rose McGowan.
The episode airs tonight, Sunday, March 10 at 8:00-9:00 p.m., ET on the ABC Television Network.
Be sure to tune in – and return tomorrow for screencaps!
Rose appeared on The Doctors earlier today to spread word about pulmonary fibrosis. Be sure to watch the video right below!
Actress Rose McGowan has had a long and successful career on both the small screen and the silver screen, but her biggest and most challenging role now is finding a cure for pulmonary fibrosis, a disease that claimed the life of her father. Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is an often-terminal scarring of the lungs that obstructs the flow of oxygen to the brain and other vital organs. With no known cause and no cure, Rose is now an ambassador for the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis (CPF), and is raising worldwide awareness of the deadly disease.
Rose McGowan stopped by on Studio11LA this morning to discuss pulmonary fibrosis and her role as the Ambassador to build awareness to fight the disease with the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis. Be sure to watch the video below as it is a very important cause, one that she is incredibly passionate about! Screencaptures are also now available in our gallery.
– Talk Shows: Studio11LA – 2012
Late last month Rose McGowan sat down for a lengthy Q&A at Toronto's Fan Expo, during which she touched upon several projects that she currently has in the pipeline.
• Rose shared that she recently signed with Dolly Parton's manager and hopes to record an album in Nashville in the next few months!
• We learned earlier this year of Rose's plans to direct a short film. Now she said that she is about to direct a film starring Piper Laurie (Carrie) and Joshua Close (The Master). We don't know if this is perhaps the short film that she talked about earlier or a full length feature – but, as always, we'll keep you posted!
I'll leave you with a video of Rose singing part of Fever for the lucky Expo audience.
Last month Rose McGowan filmed a role for a western titled Last of the Duanes, based on the novel of the same title by Zane Grey and directed by Christopher Ekstein. The film was adapted by Ekstein, Jason Chase Tyrrell and Stacy Ownes Ekstein. Apart from the fact that she plays a madam, we know very little about Rose's character and the size of her role in this production. Last of the Duanes stars Scott Eastwood (son of Clint Eastwood), Danny Trejo (Machete co-star) and Jason Patric. We'll keep you posted with any further details as they come!
Meanwhile, you can view a video interview with Rose under the cut, in which she mentions the project, and check out a few behind the scenes images in the gallery. Furthermore, here is a synopsis for the novel on which the movie is based on:
Western legend Grey (Lorna Doone, Riders of the Purple Sage) wrote this novel in 1913, but it was rejected by his early publishers, who believed it contained too much gunplay and not enough sentimentality. Buck Duane is the son of an infamous gunfighter. Although Buck is warned by his family to avoid the outlaw trail, his quick temper, steady nerve and lightning-quick hand promptly get him into trouble. After killing a bully, Buck flees the law and heads off into the harsh badlands of southwest Texas, where outlaw gangs roam the Mexican border. Buck falls in with a bad crowd, but an exaggerated reputation and a couple of nifty shootings keep him alive among the ornery rustlers and robbers. He grows into a steely-eyed gunfighter with a conscience and a saddlebag full of regrets. Despite the notches multiplying on his gun, however, Buck is a decent fellow. He rescues a young girl, Jennie Lee, from the abusive clutches of the Bland gang, only to see her abducted again. In despair, Buck hides out for several more years, dodging the law and the bushwhackers, all the while searching for Jennie Lee. When the Texas Rangers finally catch up with Buck, it's not to kill him but to make him an offer he can't refuse. This may have been too bloody a story for 1913, but it follows formula in the end, as the outlaw settles down, albeit with a haunted mind, to a life of humble domesticity.

Full disclosure, dear readers—I'm not a TV viewer. I chucked the set years ago and mainly watch things on computers.

WITHOUT GIVING TOO MUCH AWAY, the user interface seemed to hover beautifully above the currently playing show. An elegant simple menu made it easy to switch between channels or to pick and rent a recent film. It was light years from the cumbersome garbage that takes up most of the screen when using a standard cable-channel picker.
There was a wide array of popular channels to choose from that would be familiar to any couch potato, though the final lineup is still being formulated. Equally important, when you hit the button on the remote, the TV seemed to jump to the next channel faster than is typical on cable. There also is a time-shifting aspect that goes beyond DVR, allowing you to go back through recent episodes.
One wonders: Why hasn't TV always been this way?
Others who've viewed the project are enthusiastic, too. "The No. 1 thing I noticed was speed," says Patrick Moorhead of Moor Insights & Strategy. Intel's horsepower in the set-top is partially responsible for this, but multiple data centers that Intel is building to serve video also were a factor. "A lot of the value comes from what they've done on the back end," says Moorhead. "They have the highest-performance Intel servers and video-encoding technology." And he notes, "This is live television," unlike other over-the-top offerings, like those from the TV network consortium Hulu, Apple's AAPL 0.15082956259426847% Apple Inc.

"It's something I've never experienced before" in an Internet offering, Moorhead adds.
No less thrilling is the fact that Intel, which makes $53 billion in yearly revenue from selling chips, and spends billions to make them, is becoming both a hardware and software vendor.
The project is the effort of Erik Huggers and his staff of 350 people. Huggers, 40, won praise for developing the iPlayer for the BBC, a piece of video software that allows one to follow the channel's TV and radio broadcasts. He came to Intel two years ago to advance efforts to sell chips to set-top makers. He made a bold move in telling his boss that the $4.5 billion TV-chip market wasn't desirable. "The market was split up between 20 or more silicon providers, and it was a race to the bottom on prices," says Huggers. "I said, 'I don't know how we ever turn that into a profitable market.' " Instead, he pleaded, "Release me to go after the $500 billion television market in a very different way." He got his wish.
If Huggers has a hit, Intel will get not just set-top revenue, but also an annual payment stream from subscriptions, after splitting fees with content providers. It's also a smart way for the chip giant to diversify.
Numerous unknowns remain. Intel isn't disclosing the price of the box or the service. The box itself will inspire an iPhone-like techno lust, Huggers assures me, though I didn't see the final hardware. But will people be willing to pay Intel on top of paying for broadband and for Netflix, Hulu, etc.? Huggers contends that Intel's service will "surprise and delight" viewers with a constant stream of new features, making it more and more valuable to them.
More prickly is the art of the deal. In his bunker at Intel, Huggers has on his desk a bowl of genuine shark teeth. They are a reminder that in closing deals with content providers—HBO, AMC, ABC, CBS (CBS), etc.—the fight for content rights can be brutal. And Intel's service must have the right channels or it just won't fly.
Huggers won't say how many partners he has signed, but, he maintains, "We see incredibly serious engagement on the part of every programmer we talk with. I feel very good about our ability to get the right terms to move forward."
But content providers are hardly the most difficult obstacle. Time Warner and Comcast both have over-the-top offerings, in the form of tablet and smartphone apps that let you watch video away from the TV set. Neither wants to lose the value running over their coaxial lines.
In a recent report, media analyst Rich Greenfield of BTIG Research wrote that some cable operators have gotten content holders to agree to what would appear to be "anticompetitive" contracts that prevent them from licensing to "classes" of distributors such as Intel.
GREENFIELD THINKS THERE ARE WAYS in which all parties can be satisfied. "If you are a content provider, why would you not want more avenues to distribution?" he asks, while noting that, for the cable operators, "selling broadband at $100 a month can be a lot more compelling, versus $50 for pay TV, especially at the very high margins of broadband versus video" if a partnership can be struck.
Huggers maintains there are "all kinds of opportunities" for incumbent broadband providers to partner with Intel.
If push comes to shove, there is precedent for the U.S. government to encourage video on new platforms. In 1992, Congress compelled the cable operators to sell affiliated programming to the new broadcast-satellite companies, notes Blair Levin, a fellow with the Aspen Institute. Says Levin: "If, in a year's time, things are going just fine" for Intel, "it diminishes the argument for government intervention" to open up the field of video distribution. "If not, well, it probably strengthens that argument."
I certainly hope that it works out for Intel; as a potential subscriber, I'm ready for it. Sometimes, even TV Luddites like to watch The Big Bang Theory.

Ft Lauderdale - Extremely easy to get onto the port, drop your bags, and park in the mid level garage. There was a short wait in line but then directly on the ship. Leaving was just as easy. The stewards are helpful but not pushy
First 2 Sea Days The weather was a tad bouncy but as long as you didn't go into the Mad Hatter Lounge, you really didn't notice it too much.
Ports: St Marteen was a little disappointing. Why Carnival insists on visiting on a Sunday when they know the French side is totally closed down is beyond me.
St Lucia is very pretty and has great beaches. Husband played golf and was happy.
We didn't leave the port area of St Kitts due to the negative reviews we had read over the winter. My husband did play golf at the Marriott and he raved about the course
Food: Everything was good as always. We are not foodies but the meals were served on time and were hot.
Entertainment: Karaoke has to go. On this cruise, they kept changing the location. Two nights you could not leave Bacchus without walking into Karaoke. This is not fair to those who like karaoke or to those of us who loathe Karaoke. I for one would be very happy if Karaoke was left to the Mad Hatter Lounge every night. Then only those who want to hear and participate would have to endure listening to people who think they can sing. Also Legends show needs to go bye bye. I did not pay all this money to hear other passengers. Luckily this trip, no one was truly awful, but still. The shows were the standard Generations, Ticket to Ride, and a Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis night. I don't care for jugglers or comedians so did not attend those nights. Several members of our group did go and said they were good.
Con: If you have a large group with balcony rooms, be aware that every member of your group must go in mass to guest relations to sign up to have your balcony open. There are only 15 clamps so they go fast.

Search for Fair Haven man continuesJanuary 21,2014By Darren Marcy
Staff Report
The search continued Tuesday for a missing Fair Haven man who disappeared early Saturday morning while walking along Route 149 near the New York/Vermont state line.
Jonathan Schaff left a Granville, N.Y., bar about 4:30 a.m. where he had been in a fight earlier.
He and two other people were walking to a car parked east of the bar in a trucking company parking lot just across the state line. When the other two stopped for a moment, Schaff kept walking, and was never seen again.
The Vermont State Police conducted an air search Tuesday with an Army National Guard helicopter.
Lt. Michael Manley of the Vermont State Police said the search checked rivers, fields and roads in the area without any success.
The search perimeter also expanded 5 to 6 miles beyond the initial search area, which has focused on the area around the state line on Route 149 and logical paths of travel from that area.
Manley also asked that anyone living within about 5 miles of that area check their property, looking in any sheds, vehicles and other places a person might have sought shelter.
With temperatures dropping below zero overnight, searchers said weather is the top concern for Schaff.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A North Bennington man who had worked as a crossing guard for the Village School of...

7 Obsolete Social Media Tactics You're Wasting Your Time On
Social Media Marketing is a beast!
However, it can also be a major time waster, if you dedicate time again and again to tactics that are not proven to work.
So, don't miss out! Make sure you don't waste your time on 7 obsolete social media tactics below:
#1 Posting in Your Free Time
Not you, but your audience should determine the time and day of when you should publish your post. Posting according to your timetable will not increase traffic on your site at all. You will have to follow the timetable of your audience, and you can use the tool Simply Measured to find the times and days that are most favorable to publish your post.
To make it easier on yourself, you can get Buffer, another tool that will publish the posts automatically on the set time and date. Use Buffer to schedule posts for Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, and many more. Facebook, on the other hand, provides you with its own tool.
#2 Pitching Your Product or Service Directly
The idea behind gaining several followers is to sell your product or service to them initially. However, even promoting your product or service is a method. You cannot just post a link, directing them to your service or product. That will not work anymore because the audience wants to be convinced into buying it.
The only time you will have any luck in doing that is when you are holding a sale or offering it at a discounted price. Otherwise, the tactic of direct selling is pretty much gone. Instead, work your way slowly into the hearts and bank accounts of your followers.
Begin by collecting their emails. Email them information about your services or products. If your offer interests them, they will visit your site to purchase it. After a while, create a webinar or a short course of some sort and sell it. By then, your audience may fully trust you, increasing your chances of making a sale.
#3 More Followers Means Increased Coverage
Building a façade of popularity around your social media account will do you more harm than good. Bloggers need to drop the charade of buying more followers and likes from people that barely engage with your account. If they do not drop the act, the social media forums will begin to catch on. For instance, several celebrities lost followers on their Instagram account because several were fake accounts or did not engage with the page.
The right thing to do in this situation is to be genuine and get followers the old fashioned way by publishing impressive content to make them want to follow or like your social media page. For some inspiration, look towards your competitors to see the type of content they are posting on their site. Post similar content as them to test the post's impact by analyzing the likes, shares, and comments it received.
#4 Sharing Content without Optimizing
Is your website code optimized for social media? If you are sharing content from your blog on your social media account and no pictures show, you have not optimized your website code. Optimize it for social media by adding media meta tags to all your posts.
In doing so, more people will likely discover your Facebook page, liking it and sharing your posts with their social media friends. This in return will increase the traffic on your Facebook account. Pictures alongside the posts are important for your social media accounts and blogs success so check to see if you have optimized your posts.
#5 Using the "Me, Myself, and I" Approach
It is not about you, it is about your followers. When you make it about your followers, it will indirectly make it about you. If bloggers keeping using the "me, myself, and I" approach, which means promoting your own brilliance most of the time, they will decrease in numbers. People will unlike their page, unfollow them, unfriend them, and worse block their posts from showing in their newsfeed.
All your high hopes of maintaining a good number of followers will be lost in the midst of your own self-promotion. Instead of your brand growing, its growth will be stalled before it even left the ground. To avoid this from happening to you, share other people's content, answer questions, and help people out.
#6 Linking Directly to Another Site
When you link to another blog or site, you are doing the opposite of increasing traffic. The other site will thank you for linking it back to them, and you know why? You are increasing traffic for them, not you. What should you do if a blogger's post ties in perfectly with yours?
Where there's a will, there's a way. You will use Sniply, a social media tool, which places a promotional box on the site you shared. Now, it's a two-way street, as both yours and their site have an equal chance of gaining more traffic.
#7 Adding Several Social Media Buttons to Your Blog
Bloggers add social media buttons to their blog to increase the probability of someone sharing their content. Guess what? The odds will not be in your favor. Your audience will visit your site, read the post, look at the several social media buttons, and move on. We do not say this, but Quick Sprout does. Test it!
On your site, place five social media buttons for your audience to share. Analyze it with Quick Sprout and write down the results after several days. Next, analyze it by placing three buttons instead of five. You will see a vast difference in the numbers of click-through rates.
The sites that you choose to place will be the most popular ones such Twitter, Facebook, and another one. The tool Flare can help you determine the exact social media buttons to place on your site.
Stop living in the past by continuing to use these outdated social media tactics. Start to live in the present and hit us up with more social media tactics that have bitten the dust.

Your brain is constantly trying to keep you in the status quo. It wants you to continue eating the same food, and it will send out overwhelming cravings until you get it. Too tired to work out this morning? Your mind will rationalize its thoughts and tell you to do it tomorrow instead. Partying with friends tonight? You can start eating better on Monday.
Keep your priority on rewiring your brain for success. The brain controls the body. Win the small battles against your mind and your body will transform before your very eyes.

Update: Authorities have arrested Michael Beer in connection with the pipe bombs. He is the son of the woman who reported finding the devices.
Earlier Story
NORTHEAST PHILA. Hours after the bomb squad left, neighbors lingered at Shisler and Benner Streets in Oxford Circle on Thursday, pointing at the caution tape still draped across the alley.
Most had just returned home after police had ordered them out, a precaution after six pipe bombs were found in a house on the 6100 block of Shisler.
It was unclear how the homemade explosives ended up in the house or who put them there.

PPG Industries' industrial coatings business recently announced plans to raise prices by an average of 8 to 12 percent on all coil and extrusion coating products in North America, effective Oct. 1 or as permissible by contract.
"The rate of raw material price inflation has been dramatic and sustained over the past 12 months, especially for titanium dioxide (TiO2) and resins used in paint products," said Richard Zoulek, PPG general manager, industrial coatings, U.S. and Canada. "PPG continues to implement aggressive cost-control measures throughout its operations, but these efforts alone cannot sufficiently offset the continued rapid rise in raw material costs, thus necessitating this price increase."
Sales representatives will communicate price increase details to their customers for all products affected.
