Even a stopped clock is right twice a day, and even a stopped clock is more fun to watch for 90 minutes than most movies. For every cult classic there are a thousand abominations, and I've endured the comedy equivalent of A Clockwork Orange reprogramming just to bring you some fine comedy articles.
Comstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Every single one was worse than that film in The Ring.
But sometimes they reach a critical mass of failure and manage to screw up screwing up, shining through their own rivers of sewage with one accidental nugget of brilliance.
4 "It's a Good Day to Die!" (Starship Troopers 3: Marauder)
Starship Troopers is such an amazing satire most critics didn't even realize it was one. And when someone can't tell that Psychic Gestapo Doogie Howser isn't serious, they can't even be trusted to watch movies for a living.
TriStar Pictures
"This is just one cheek of the size of the ass you would have to be to not get this."
Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation "fixed" that by removing the satire and actually being a stupid action movie. So stupid they spent all their money on the "Starship Troopers" name, then couldn't actually afford many bugs, despite the entire point of the fight sequences being many, many bugs -- also despite being made by the company that originally made the damn bugs. Which is why they invented a new breed of alien, with the amazing power to mind-control Z-list actors while mainly avoiding cameras!
TriStar Pictures
"Well, lady, you're a presumed-dead trooper recovered from behind alien enemy lines, you've been acting strange ever since, and now you want to get me alone. But I'm a guy in a horror-ish movie and therefore brain-damaged by tit proximity, so, sure!
Starship Troopers 3: Marauder could afford to bring back the original star, but that was due less to an increase of budget and more to significant depreciation in Casper Van Diem. This movie is what the Ghost of Casper Van Diem Future would show to make him change his ways.
TriStar Pictures
He returns to find that the solution to the bug problem is religion. Not a freaky bug cult, nor Matrix-style rave religion, but actual swear-to-God swearing-to-Roman-Catholic-God.
TriStar Pictures
"Maybe I should just ask the bugs to stop. No! Maybe I should ask someone invisible to stop them for me!"
Jolene Blalock throws away her assault rifle and falls to her knees to shout out the "Our Father" in the heart of the alien base, blowing it up and realizing why most ex-Star Trek actors settle for taking signature money at conventions.
Sony Pictures
The exact moment she realized she'd rather wear fake ears for a sweaty queue of signatures for the rest of her life.
The evangelist character is rewarded for her faith (which takes the form of 80 solid minutes of whining about Jesus during an action movie) with an actual halo of incoming Federation drop-mechs, and they found a way to make that non-satirical.
TriStar Pictures
I swear to the god she's evangelizing they found a way to play this straight.
By the way, this is just after the commander of the Federation forces sells out the human race for the privilege of being eaten by a vast xenogina.
Sony Pictures
"This is still a better idea than making this movie!"
A xenogina that patiently waits while the unarmed humans have a debate about faith in the heart of the bug fortress.
Sony Pictures
"No, I'll wait over here. You guys go ahead and shout about your spiritual differences. That'll be an awesome climax for an action movie!"
The big sell promised on the DVD box the movie was released straight into was the huge anti-bug mech suits. Mech suits, which appeared more on that box than in the movie. They are built up for the entire film, then lumbered into shots like they'd gotten lost on their way to a PlayStation One scene cut 10 years ago, fought for two seconds and self-destructed. They'd have had more screen time if they were grenades.
Sony Pictures
It'll look even better when they can afford the licensed version of MyFirstRenderer.
Through all this, there shines one moment of true Starship Troopers glory: "It's a Good Day to Die!" In this nightmarish military future, the Sky Marshal commanding the war effort is also a Pop Idol-style singer, and troops are motivated to lay down their lives so often the song been recorded and sold as a No. 1 hit single.
Sony Pictures
"Sing along at home, then sign up to become cannon fodder!"
Sony Pictures
They condensed an entire movie's worth of satire into one perfect frame.
A single so dumb it can't even keep its catchline of "Courage! Duty! Honor!" in the right order all the way through. It's glorious.
X Factor fans as Mobile Infantry cannon fodder. That's not just fantastic parody, that's a genuinely good idea, a boost to natural selection. And I guarantee record viewing numbers for the hit new series.
3"A Little Anti-American Sentiment" (Gymkata)
Gymkata attempted to harness the celebrity of Olympic gold male gymnastics -- and probably succeeded. But measuring male gymnastic appeal in box office numbers is like measuring a kitten's meow in terms of astrophysical thermal output. You're wildly overestimating something's star power.
Martin Poole/Digital Vision/Getty
"Although we both cause a lot of interference in global communication systems."
The problem is that miniature besweatered Kurt Thomas looks like someone you'd see at a kid's slumber party. Until he inverts and thrusts his crotch directly at everyone's face for 90 minutes, becoming the exact opposite of what you'd want to see at a kid's slumber party, giving him precisely zero appeal to anyone.
Crotch so in-your-face you're now at third base.
He is a world champion athlete, but this was the Olympic version of taking Aquaman out of the sea and dumping him on a moonbase with alien gods.
And at least only octopii endured this from the Justice League.
In a script designed only to fill gaps in the male twirling, because you're not allowed to make a family movie centered only on centrifugal testicles ...
Exhibits A and B
... they accidentally struck comedy gold. Behold, as a special intelligence agent endures "a little anti-American sentiment":
I know most of you don't watch the videos. Please watch this one. I don't care if your workplace allows it or not -- if your job brought you as much joy as this clip can you wouldn't be avoiding doing it to read this. If infinite monkeys on infinite typewriters can generate the entire works of Shakespeare, the writers of Gymkata can manage one good moment. Which is a pretty accurate scaling of their skill level. If you didn't watch the video, a secret agent observes that there was just a little anti-American sentiment running around, and ARROW TO THE KIDNEY!
Immortalized in GIF form.
Decades before the Internet beat random violence humor into a horse sashimi pancake, this was so much glorious joy out of nowhere that it wasn't just a joke, it was a hilarious tribute to the Big Bang. One moment Kurt Thomas is being consoled like a whiny boy who got that sweater instead of what he really wanted for Christmas, then MEDIEVAL DIALYSIS! Comedic timing is one of the hardest things in the world. The rest of this movie has worse timing than the Doctor's TARDIS when he wants a peaceful holiday, more stilted lines than a moko jumbie DMV, actors blatantly waiting for their turn to speak then adding another second to make sure. And then, THUD! It shows that if you just flail at the camera for long enough something wonderful will happen. Unfortunately that was their plan for the entire movie, not just this single second.

Rescue personnel from the Coast Guard and Maui Fire Department are searching for a 55 year-old kayaker missing near Kalepolepo Beach Park on Maui Wednesday, according to the Coast Guard.

Cisco IOS Software supports two fundamental Quality of Service architectures: Differentiated Services (DiffServ) and Integrated Services (IntServ). In the DiffServ model a packet's "class" can be marked directly in the packet, which contrasts with the IntServ model where a signaling protocol is required to tell the routers which flows of packets requires special QoS treatment. DiffServ achieves better QoS scalability, while IntServ provides a tighter QoS mechanism for real-time traffic. These approaches can be complimentary and are not mutually exclusive.
The IntServ architecture model (RFC 1633, June 1994) was motivated by the needs of real-time applications such as remote video, multimedia conferencing, visualization, and virtual reality. It provides a way to deliver the end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) that real-time applications require by explicitly managing network resources to provide QoS to specific user packet streams (flows). It uses "resource reservation" and "admission control" mechanisms as key building blocks to establish and maintain QoS.
IntServ uses Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) to explicitly signal the QoS needs of an application's traffic along the devices in the end-to-end path through the network. If every network device along the path can reserve the necessary bandwidth, the originating application can begin transmitting.
Besides end-to-end signaling, IntServ requires several functions on routers and switches along the path:
- Admission Control: determine whether a new flow can be granted the requested QoS without impacting existing reservations
- Classification: recognize packets that need particular levels of QoS
- Policing: take action, including possibly dropping packets, when traffic does not conform to its specified characteristics
- Queuing and Scheduling: forward packets according to those QoS requests that have been granted

I just made these for my kids' lunchboxes this week but had to try one! Such delicious cakes, I'm very impressed!! Really light which surprised me as carrot cakes can be quite stodgy...
Didn't have wholemeal SR flour so I used 150ml of SR plus 50g of oats instead.
I added a few handfuls of sultanas, and some sunflower seeds (would've been nuts had they not been banned at school!)
I also left them uniced, but they are still scrummy!! Definitely a keeper of a recipe!
Just made 48 of these for Junior School Garden Club Garden Party. Have had to put them under lock & key after sampling one as they are SO moreish!!
I think I might try swapping the carrot for courgette and the orange zest for lemon next time.
Instead of grating the carrots I did them on my Spiraliser - so quick and easy, then chopped them as I mixed them in.
These are lovely - perfect for taking out on a long walk. I preferred not to ice mine, as they had to survive in our backpacks, so I sprinkled some chopped walnuts and demerara sugar on the top before I baked them - delicious crunchy topping. Yum yum. I also only put in 125g sugar and they were certainly sweet enough, as the carrot adds so much sweetness too.
Absolutely love these, so easy and delicious. Mine took about 25 / 26 minutes in the oven until a skewer came out clean though. My icing was a little runny but I refrigerated it again for an hour after I'd made it and before icing the cakes and it was slightly better although I found I couldn't pipe it as the butter went a bit lumpy. I have made the icing successfully before so not sure what went wrong - I think perhaps Philadelphia worked better than own brand, even though I used the full fat version.
This has become my go to bake for almost any occasion because everyone loves them... I struggled with the cream cheese frosting and now follow a different recipe which is perfect - http://kerrycooks.com/foolproof-thick-cream-cheese-frosting-recipe/
This recipe is easy to make and delicious! I made some slight changes to the recipe - reduced the sugar and also added in buttermilk and the cupcakes turned out moist and fluffy. I've also added walnuts and raisins into the cupcakes. Here is the revised recipe http://tableforting.com/2015/08/20/carrot-muffins/
These cakes were DIVINE! I used half the recipe for 6 muffin cases as I wanted to try them along with others and they were so moist and full of flavour, absolutely gorgeous! The frosting was way too runny to be piped, even though I used full fat cream cheese - so I had to add a lot more icing sugar which made it sweeter but still delicious! If anyone has any tips on how to get a stiffer cream cheese frosting for piping I'd love to hear them.

Tips (2)
I did not have any wholemeal self raising flour at home so I just doubled the amount of sale-raising flour. Also, I used 100ml sunflower oil instead of 150ml and 125gr caster sugar instead of 175 muscavado. I added some walnuts into the batter too. The result was divine. Although I did not make any icing, they were very delicious. I tried them with clotted cream!

As the raid on Osama bin Laden was carried out, the president and his advisors in the Situation Room nervously listened for bin Laden's call name, 'Geronimo.' Once they heard 'Geronimo KIA,' the first confirmation that bin Laden was dead, the mission was still far from over. Brian Williams reports.
Osama bin Laden wanted to assassinate Barack Obama so that the "utterly unprepared" Joe Biden would become U.S. president, according to documents seized last year during the U.S. raid that killed the al-Qaida leader.
In letters from his last hideout -- according to a report called "Letters from Abbottabad: Bin Ladin Sidelined?" that was posted online Thursday by the U.S. Army's Combating Terrorism Center -- bin Laden also fretted about dysfunction in his terrorist network and the loss of trust from Muslims he wished to incite against their government and the West.
Read the Combating Terrorism Center's report (pdf)
Other materials found inside the compound last May have revealed how al-Qaida's then leader regularly ordered his subordinates to plan new attacks, despite an increasingly limited cadre of operatives.
Bin Laden in hiding: Hatching horrific plots despite crippling attacks on al-Qaida
During the raid, Navy SEALs recovered five computers, 10 hard drives and more than 100 storage devices -- DVDs, discs and thumb drives -- that included between 10,000 and 15,000 documents and between 15,000 to 25,000 videos, including a large number of duplicate files.
Farooq Naeem / AFP - Getty Images
U.S. forces found and killed the al-Qaida leader in the affluent Pakistani town of Abbottabad, where he had been living in a large compound.
Al-Qaida hoped to convert Irish?
The documents also contained some slightly odd revelations, including the idea that al-Qaida thought Irish Catholics might be ripe for conversion to Islam.
"I noticed the sympathy of the Irish people to the Palestinian issue, and the soft treatment by the Irish Judicial system of Muslims accused of terrorism, and also not participating with its troops in [President George W.] Bush's Crusade wars," American al-Qaida spokesman Adam Gadahn wrote in a letter.
"The other matter is the increasing anger in Ireland towards the Catholic Church after exposing a number of sex scandals … The people there are moving towards secularism, after it was the most religious of atheist Europe, and why do not we face them with Islam?" he added.
Al-Qaida also fretted over its brand name. One document discussed how the group's name was shortened from Qaida al-Jihad to al-Qaida and "this name reduces the feeling of Muslims that we belong to them." It suggested names that could not be easily shortened "to a word that does not represent us."
Those included "Muslim Unity Group," "Restoration of the Caliphate Group," and "Jihad Organization for the Unification and Rescue of the Nation."
Al-Qaida also appears to have had a particular dislike for Fox News.
Talking about sending an al-Qaida message to the media, the spokesman Gadahn wrote, "I suggest that we should distribute it to more than one channel, so that there will be healthy competition between the channels in broadcasting the material, so that no other channel takes the lead. It should be sent for example to ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN and maybe PBS and VOA."
However Fox News, Gadahn said, should be left out the loop.
"As for Fox News, let her die in her anger," he wrote.

"The next step after naming domestic violence"
This book is a great resource and starting place for anyone considering the effect that seeing bullies in action would have on everyone around them.
The sections detailing the harm done to abused people were cringe inducing and were often very difficult to listen to. The most dramatic part of the exchange was how third parties will pull back from a bullied person to distance themselves from the situation.
Purchased this book for a particular situation at work and am very pleased. It is excellent at nailing down the issues, bringing to light what is happening. I wish many more would read this, it would help many from those who are handling a bully situation to those who are being bullied.

Livozan 500mg 5Tablet contains following Salts:-
Levofloxacin - Drug Information
Typical usage: :Acute sinusitis. Acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis. Community acquired pneumonia. Urinary tract infections including pyelonephritis. Skin and soft tissue infections.
Probable Side Effects: :Stevens johnson syndrome, epidermal necrolysis, tendon rupture, QT prolongation, flatulence, dizziness, diarrhea, anxiety, restlessness, constipation, abdominal pain, confusion, pruritus, hallucination, dyspepsia.
Drug Interaction: Levofloxacin is known to interact with other drugs like aluminium hydroxide and oxide, cyclosporin A, fenbufen, probenecid, theophylline, warfarin (Na). These interactions are sometimes beneficial and sometimes may pose threats to life. Always consult your physician for the change of dose regimen or an alternative drug of choice that may strictly be required.
Mechanism of Action: Levofloxacin inhibits bacterial type II topoisomerases, topoisomerase IV and DNA gyrase. Levofloxacin, like other fluoroquinolones, inhibits the A subunits of DNA gyrase, two subunits encoded by the gyrA gene. This results in strand breakage on a bacterial chromosome, supercoiling, and resealing; DNA replication and transcription is inhibited.
Pregnancy Impact: Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks.
Impact During Lactation: Studies in breastfeeding mothers have demonstrated that there is significant and documented risk to the infant based on human experience, or it is a medication that has a high risk of causing significant damage to an infant. The risk of using the drug in breastfeeding women clearly outweighs any possible benefit from breastfeeding. The drug is contraindicated in women who are breastfeeding an infant.

Comments: Had this shoe for a couple of runs now and its great. I use it as an everyday trainer for cross country. It's great if you are looking for a lighter trainer, and its a very stiff shoe- not so flexy, which I love as a forefoot striker. It's great for the long runs and it has good support through the midfoot. This shoe also works great for faster intervals like a 3x mile workout. All in all a great stiff trainer, I will certainly buy another pair.
From: Mike, New York, USA
Comments: As previously said, the upper is built-up quite a bit. if you're not used to it, you'll notice it. Just got back from an easy 5 and I have to say I like the shoe but it doesn't quite fit my right foot (fits the left perfect). I've worn DS-Trainer series for a long time and it's a similar shoe (adidas weighs a little less).
From: Eric, Maine, USA
Comments: I have had these shoes for 3 months and wear them for intervals and long easy workouts which would total about 30-35 miles out of a 60-70 mile week. I rotate these with my Boston 3's. These have a relatively wider toe box than other shoes but are very breathable and are very durable. I train mostly on the road with some trails. I've run about 4:40's in practice with these shoes and planning on getting another pair for this years cross country season
From: Edward, Carmichael, CA, USA
Comments: I agree with the other reviewer on most counts. The upper is somewhat more built-up. Still a really nice shoe. Forefoot is wider which works well for the long haul. This is a very similar shoe to the Aegis in my opinion.
From: Chris, Boston, MA, USA
Comments: Just picked these up for a daily trainer. Ran 10km with them, a little bit loose in the heel (I could probably fix this with the laces). Good room in the toes. Gives good comfort without any awkward pressures on my foot while running (my former trainners/ flats were adidas rockets). They fit true to my regular size. They feel light while running as well. Grippy on wet pavement, especially on down hills.

Budweiser Duels: Kevin Harvick wins first qualifying race, a favorite to win Daytona 500
February 21, 2013
Author: Jeff Owens
Date: Feb. 21, 2013
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Kevin Harvick served notice last Saturday that he was a big threat to win the Daytona 500.
It was no fluke.
After winning the first Budweiser Duel on Thursday, Harvick is for real and a serious contender to win a Daytona 500.
Harvick, who won the 2007 Daytona 500, charged to the front of the field midway through the 60-lap qualifying race and took control. He led the final 19 laps (23 in all) for his first win in a Daytona qualifying race—a victory that comes on the heels of his win Saturday in the Sprint Unlimited.
Michael Waltrip and Scott Speed finished 14th and 15th, respectively, in the first of two qualifying races to earn starting spots in the Daytona 500.
Greg Biffle finished second to Harvick, just as he did Saturday in the Sprint Unlimited. Juan Pablo Montoya finished third followed by Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, Tony Stewart, Brad Keselowski, Casey Mears, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Joey Logano.
Rounding out the top 15 were: Bobby Labonte, David Gilliland, Joe Nemechek, Waltrip and Speed. The top 15 earned starting spots in the Daytona 500.
Martin Truex Jr. was black-flagged for a missing side window in his car and wound up finishing 19th. He will have to rely on his qualifying speed or a provisional to make the Daytona 500.
Polesitter Danica Patrick, meanwhile, struggled, fell back early and drifted to the rear of the field, where she lost the draft and rode in the back the rest of the race. Already locked into the pole position for the Daytona 500, she finished 17th.
The race was tame until Lap 52 when Denny Hamlin's car got loose and he hit Carl Edwards, sending them both for a spin. Trevor Bayne, who led early in the race, and Regan Smith also were involved in the crash.
Harvick held off Biffle on a restart with four laps remaining and held off a wild pack led by Montoya that made a late charge.
None of them could put together a strong enough draft, however, to get by Harvick, who scored his second straight race victory at Daytona.
"I was to his bumper but you've got to have some help," Biffle said. "You've got to be in the right place and get a big run and have a couple of cars with you."
Harvick, who is now two-for-two Speedweeks, stopped short of declaring himself the favorite to win his second Daytona 500.
"You want to win, and we've been fortunate to win the first two races," he said. "We've just got to keep a level head and not get too high and what is meant to be is meant to be.
"We've definitely got the car to do it."

Carney reaches top of the FN100 amid restructuring and recovery
Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of England and chairman of the Financial Stability Board, this year sits at the top of Financial News' list of the Most Influential people in Europe's capital markets.
It's the first time we've chosen the governor of the Bank of England for this position at the top of the list and it reflects how the nature of regulation is changing.
Carney's job is about preventing crisis in the future, both at home in his role as super-regulator in charge of macroprudential stability and much more, and globally, as chairman of the Financial Stability board.
As such, this year we've put him above Mario Draghi, president of the European Central Bank, who was number one for the previous three years because of his role in cleaning up the crisis of the present, whatever it took.
It used to be said that the governor regulated the City of London by judicious raising of the eyebrows. But the Canadian's film-star eyebrows have been augmented with a huge regulatory firepower.
When Carney started his role on July 1, 2013, he was given instant regulatory influence, as he inherited oversight of the Prudential Regulation Authority. His regulatory remit ranges from finding systemic risk within the financial system to monitoring banks' capital buffers.
As chairman of the Financial Stability Board – which proved to be the deciding factor in his inclusion for the top position in the FN100 list – he has a hefty job before he leaves the post towards the end of the year.
The role on the FSB is to co-ordinate a regulatory framework for international regulators on behalf of the G20 group of nations. It is one of the influential bodies looking into the world of shadow banking, reforms to the derivatives market and seeking to end "too big to fail" – which could even label several large buyside firms as "systemically important", along with investment banks.
Carney's inclusion as the number one signifies that regulation, therefore, remains the primary concern for many in the industry.
But there's more. The likelihood that he's going to be the first premier league central banker to raise rates after the financial crisis also increases his influence. As he tried to manage this process, Carney has made a clear and long-overdue break with the past by trying to directly speak with consumers and business, rather than speaking the language of City economists.
His influence moved down a notch when he hastily dropped his experiment with precise forward guidance. However, one chief executive of a large asset management firm recently said that forward guidance had been a factor behind his decision to invest in his business.
He has also sought to restructure the character of the central bank, in part by installing a new team at the top, including high-profile women – one of whom, Nemat Shafik, has made it into this year's list.
Key tasks
It's far too early to say whether his tenure is a success – his two key tasks are stopping another financial crisis and trying to prevent the UK economy repeating its boom/bust cycle.
The verdict on these two tasks will have to wait for the history books. However, even today, it's clear that Carney's zest for the job, combined with his role at the FSB and a certain confluence of time and events, means that no one has more influence than him in Europe's capital markets in 2014.
While regulatory figures continue to dominate the top 10 in the list – Carney is joined by two other regulators – there are signs that there is increasing stability in the industry.
While there are 38 names in last year's list who did not make it into the 2014 list, this "churn rate" is down on last year, when there were 44 names missing from the previous year's list – and significantly down on the highest churn rate of 75 in 2009.
Significantly, one category with the least amount of churn is the investment bank chief executives, which along with the market infrastructure category had just one name change from the 2013 list.
In contrast, the capital markets and advisory category has seen a lot of new names added to the list – but, in part, because of the gradual rise of M&A that has meant the Zaoui brothers and Goldman Sachs's Karen Cook are recognised for their dealmaking.
Cook's inclusion brings the total number of women in the list to 10 – its highest number since the first list began in 2005. However, the progress of women to the highest ranks of the financial services industry remains painfully slow.
There are significant new additions to the FN100. Andrew Balls, the younger brother of Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls, has gone straight into third spot in the asset management category, following his promotion to deputy chief investment officer at Pimco. Similarly, Dominique Cerutti has returned to the FN100 following IntercontinentalExchange's decision to spin off the Euronext brand, which he now leads as a separate entity.
However, there have been some notable exclusions. Barclays' perennial changes at the investment bank since former chief executive Bob Diamond's departure have meant that Eric Bommensath, who was promoted into the investment bank chief executive category just one year ago, has now left the list. In May 2014, he was given the role of managing Barclays' "bad bank", losing his position on the executive committee in the process.
Royal Bank of Scotland's co-head of markets Peter Nielsen has also been left off, following the UK bank's downsizing of its trading operations.
This year, we kept the same categories as we used last year, when we created a category for sales and trading and combined the capital markets with M&A to create a single category. Despite a pick-up in dealmaking, we still do not believe M&A justifies its own category.
This is Financial News' 10th edition of the FN100 Most Influential and we acknowledge it is a subjective process. We sought the views of the industry and came up with our rankings based on available data, anecdotal evidence and our own editorial opinion.
Congratulations to all those who have made the final selection.
• Methodology
During the past three months, Financial News' team of journalists canvassed the market for opinion and drew up long lists within each of the 10 categories: regulators, investment bank chief executives, investment banking, capital markets and advisory, market infrastructure, sales and trading, asset management, pensions, hedge funds and private equity. All nominees had to be based in Europe, the Middle East or Africa.
Candidates were then marked by an editorial panel for influence in their area, leadership within their sector, performance and innovation over the past year, and their capacity to shape their business and/or industry over the year to come. The list was then whittled down to the final 10 and ranked for each of the 10 sectors. All the research was conducted by Financial News' reporters who also wrote the profiles.

The president and the hunger strikeMay 02,2013The New York Times said the following in an editorial:
President Barack Obama said a lot of important things Tuesday about the prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. It is a blight on the nations reputation. It mocks U.S. standards of justice by keeping people imprisoned without charges. It has actually hindered the prosecution and imprisonment of dangerous terrorists.
Even if Guantanamo seemed justified to some people in the immediate aftermath of the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, those justifications are wearing thin. It is unsustainable and should be closed.
We were pleased that Obama pledged to make good, finally, on his promise to do just that. But that reaction was tempered by the fact that he has failed to do so for five years and that he has not taken steps within his executive power to transfer prisoners long ago cleared for release. Obamas plans to try to talk Congress into removing obstacles to closing the prison do not reflect the urgency of the crisis facing him now.
As of Tuesday morning, Charlie Savage reported in The Times, 100 of the 166 inmates at Guantanamo are participating in a hunger strike against their conditions and indefinite detention. Twenty-one have been approved for force-feeding, which involves the insertion of a tube through their nostrils and down their throats.
Obama defended the practice.
I dont want these individuals to die, he said.
Most people dont. But a recently published bipartisan report on detainee treatment by the Constitution Project said forced feeding of detainees is a form of abuse and must end.
The World Medical Association has long considered forced feeding a violation of a physicians ethics when it is done against a competent persons express wishes, a point that was reinforced April 25 by Dr. Jeremy Lazarus, president of the American Medical Association, in a letter to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.
There is no indication that the inmates being force-fed were unconscious or incapable of making decisions. And virtually all inmates at Guantanamo have never been charged with any crime and never will be. Nearly 90 have been cleared for release, and another large group can never be tried because they were tortured or there is no evidence they were involved in a particular attack. Only six are facing active charges before a military tribunal.
Obama was asked about the hunger strike at a White House news conference.
I think it is critical, he said, for us to understand that Guantanamo is not necessary to keep America safe. It is expensive. It is inefficient. It hurts us in terms of our international standing. It lessens cooperation with our allies on counterterrorism efforts. It is a recruitment tool for extremists.
Obama said permanent detention without trial is contrary to who we are. It is contrary to our interests.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

Make Your Room Reservation for SABR 41 Now
SABR 41 is starting to take shape. The Long Beach Hilton is accepting reservations at the convention rate of $119/night.
For more information visit the SABR website at http://www.sabr.org/
Hot Stove and Winter Meetings
Don't you just love all the Hot Stove trade rumors coming out of the 2010 Winter Meetings? My head spins on one direction then another with all the rumors. Are the Dodgers going after a left fielder or Prince Fielder?
In the meantime the Dodgers have signed Vicente Padilla for 2 Million. I like this signing at this price. Padilla must like it here in LA.
Note also that SABR will be at booth #1907 during the Baseball Trade Show at the Winter Meetings, December 6-8.
The McCourt divorce.
And just to make things more …..interesting for the Dodgers, the judge has ruled in favor of Jaime McCourt so she owns 50% of the team. These two have not played nice since the divorce started so what now? Do we move into appeal hell now? Does she get her office back? Do they sell the team? What does Selig have to say? Stay tune for more of "As The Dodgers turns"
11 Comments
The McCourt saga just gets more complicated with each ruling. The best thing they can do is sell the team and let the Dodgers have some stability!
You are right, the best thing is for them to sell the team. Do you have any rich friends that can buy the Dodgers?
Good job CZ!!! Thanks!!!!
Thanks JHall!
I am glad you liked Ray's Renegade link I posted in the ITD blog about Dioner Navarro.
Ha! Like Selig could fix anything! He'd just muck it up more! And very cool on the SABR meeting tip… You should sing your Bums song for them as entertainment😉
You are right. What can we expect of Bud Selig? Not a thing!
HAHa, no singing for me until next Opening Day when the new and improved duo of Brooklyn Bum and Hilda Chester will make another appearance.
Rays Renegade,
Nope, The latest rulling is she owns 50% of the Dodgers. This is way far from over.
I am looking forward to hearing Scott Boras as a speaker.
for more on the McCourts, check this article from the La Times
I thought the judge in L A threw out the post-nuptuals agreement, which would discount her even attempting to gather a foothold towards any ownership claim. If they go by "business operational" aspects, Frank McCourt will get the team and the ex-Mrs McCourt the real eststae. Either way, hopefully the arrangements and decision can be concluded by Spring so this can be gone by the beginning of the season….hopefully.
Scott Boras sounds like a good speaker.
Will give everyone in attendance a bit of insight and factual significance to the job of an agent, and the perils of that same job.
I know I will not be there in person, but maybe in spirit.
Rays Renegade
Oh, this looks like it would be a lot of fun to go to! Do tickets usually sell out way ahead of time or is it possible to buy them like in June? My husband and I are planning to head up to the Bay Area the following weekend to see friends and watch the Angels play Oakland, but if that falls through…
I hope the latest development in the McCourt case is a precursor to the judge telling them they can't afford to each own half of the Dodgers after the divorce and they have to sell the team. The Dodgers deserve so much better.
I am looking forward to attending. I'll know more about the conference after the meeting January 29th so I'll let you know.
We'll see what happens next with regards to the McCourts.

PRINCESS ANNE, MD - (Feb. 17, 2011)- A recent commentary in Radio World, a leading radio industry magazine read by broadcast radio owners, managers and engineers, describes WESM 91.3 FM as the best jazz station in the region that includes New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Norfolk and Richmond.
Pete Simon, the author of the article, "NPR Should Look Beyond the Beltway," chastises public radio stations around the country "hung up on the conformity of an audience-building mindset at the expense of possessing a spirit of spontaneity, innovation and true passion for what should be a unique form of radio." He said there is a "sameness" to news and music being played.
A beacon in the sea of "sameness" is WESM. Simon writes that "The best jazz station I've heard in this part of the country, in terms of content and presentation, is WESM (FM) at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. Its remote locale has insulated them from major-market pressures and over-analysis that have crippled WRTI and many other "big-city" stations."
Stephen Williams, WESM's interim general manager, said, "We're very grateful to see WESM being acknowledged in a national publication. We're passionate in our commitment to offer the Eastern Shore and surrounding areas the best jazz, blues, news content and other programming available."
"This trust is reflected in the hard work and dedication of every one of our staff members and volunteers – and the critical financial support of UMES and our listeners," Williams said, adding, "Unfortunately Congress is looking at deep cuts in funding for public broadcasting, which would significantly limit our impact to serve the community.
"So we're hoping that Mr. Simon's article will bring to light the importance of federal support for public radio – support we cannot survive without," he said.

This site has a lot of people, they should add a chat box like on all those anime sites. I think it'd be a good idea.
Yeah! That would be awesome!!
Only thing that would be a problem is flooded messages.
But overall yeah! I would love that
Best idea I heard!
We can already send eachother private messages and visitor messages.
Do you mean like some type of instant messaging? If so then I doubt that will be made =/
Well maybe. But something where everyone can log in and talk random stuff. Or have there own private sections and chat. Instant messaging as you say. If that's what he's talking about that is -_-
Yea i mean a chat box between all members.
In a way. It would be awesome! But that would take programming and coding and all that habalula. It would be an awesome consideration. I would take programming lessons just for this.
what ?
worst idea ever to me and only me, speaking for myself, u see other sites who have chat box like ********* they are no good ... all messy and u don't know whom ur talking to let along a huge fans for the base which will make it ever harder to get used to it ... it will a waste of space and time ...this is only me and sorry i wrote it that way , it's cuz im sick of it as on other sites...but even if they did it not many people will use it and if they did it will only be a matter of time.
I doubt it would be hard. Alot of sites that stream anime have them on the side.
ibrahim where are you from ? ur name is middle eastern ...

Yeah streaming anime would be awesome too!

As gamahiro once said about having a chatbox on a forum:
"It's like having a whore house in a church, defeats the purpose."
And fyi: Just add people to msn if you want to talk to them so badly.
The idea has come up many times and rejected. We have number of daily visitors in thousands. No need to take risks like to burden the servers (or mods ) extra.
You can always use MSN and skype etc to get connected to your friends.

Lol i was like wait a minute i don't remember seeing those posted on here, then i understood.
It's cool it doesn't bother me, i like it the way it is.
That's horse comment made me laugh. Eh it's understandable. More strain then it's actually worth.
This will never happen...
Besides, there'll be too much flaming in that one chatbox for the mods to handle anyway.

With ILLiad, you can:
Let OCLC manage your ILLiad hardware and software
OCLC provides complete server hosting to all ILLiad users. ILLiad hosting gives you:
- all ILLiad server components, including Windows® IIS Web server, MS SQL database server and a dedicated firewall
- regular system back-ups
- system and software upgrades, so your service is always up to date
- support for performance enhancements through condensed database historical transaction data and log files
- 24/7 onsite monitoring of hosting hardware and software in OCLC's climate-controlled and restricted-access computer facility
- full support from OCLC Customer Support experts
Configure ILLiad to meet your library's needs
ILLiad provides a robust patron management and request interface. It supports the use of customized workflows developed specifically for individual libraries. ILLiad also allows unlimited templates for patron e-mail notifications, book straps, labels and letters, all of which can be customized.
The software also integrates with local and external systems, such as library OPACs and other discovery tools and link resolvers, through its customizable add-ons. ILLiad can receive requests from WorldCat® Discovery Services and other OpenURL-supported reference services. Accurate citations from library databases are associated with your patron's ILLiad account and submitted to your ILL workflow, eliminating the need to re-enter data or decipher handwritten requests. Document requests can be transferred from the Borrowing queue to the Document Delivery queue with a single click. Borrowing from other libraries is fully integrated with the Policies Directory and your unique custom holdings queues.
Let patrons manage their ILL experiences
After completing an initial profile, users only need to key in their ID and password. If authentication is required, ILLiad supports a wide variety of authentication options, including EZproxy®, Shibboleth, CAS and LDAP. A user's profile is automatically inserted into each new request, whether entered by the user or generated from a library database. ILLiad allows your staff to add and customize patron request forms that can be viewed by users on iPhone and Android devices. ILLiad also supports mediated interlibrary loan that allows your staff to route requests to specific processing queues for expedited or special service.
Use the document delivery option that's right for your users
Deliver documents on or off campus through Odyssey or Article Exchange. Odyssey, ILLiad's document-delivery feature, allows staff to send and receive documents from ILLiad, Odyssey and Ariel users. Staff members review documents for accuracy and, with a single click, post them to the patron's ILLiad account. Document delivery through Article Exchange is built into ILLiad workflows, saving time for staff and library users. Lending libraries worldwide can upload requested documents so that users can retrieve articles or book chapters obtained for them via interlibrary loan.
Inform ILL management and collection development decisions with detailed usage statistics
ILLiad generates detailed real-time reports that help you efficiently track your workflow and keep your administrators up to date. Lending reports allow borrowing institutions to view up-to-date tracking information about requests. And your staff members can share URLs for the statistics, saving them the time of creating and distributing paper-based reports to other departments.
Manage mediated and unmediated requests for electronic and physical content
Mediated workflows enable ILL staff to monitor requests and route them to specific processing queues for expedited or special service. For example, requests generated from a specific department or school can be delivered to a specific queue for expedited service.
ILLiad also delivers efficient, unmediated access to online articles and e-books due to its interaction with the WorldCat knowledge base and its integrated access to the lending policies of content owners. The knowledge base determines which libraries own needed items—including volume, issue and availability data—saving staff time and reducing turnaround time for users.
In addition, the copyright-management system in ILLiad allows interlibrary loan staff in the United States to track and monitor all user requests for journal articles.

I have a lot of friends who converted to Protestant churches. I will continue to learn every day, and hopefully I can share what I've learned with them."

I offer every 2-3 hours whether he asks (or when he was younger acted hungry) or not. Mostly before he was 6 months or so I would notice a supply dip if I let him go much longer. Nothing tragic but I assumed it was a sign I needed to offer more frequently. If he refused of course that was fine too.
The only problem I ever had was that my kid is weird about NIP. he'd really prefer to nurse lying down in the bed, although he nursed at parks and stuff all summer. Basically any distraction upsets him. Unfortunately I've had episodes where he won't nurse before we leave but starts crying for milk on the freeway stuck in traffic. That completely sucks.

Portrait of a Seated Woman, early 20th century
Boris Dmitrievich GrigorievRussian, 1886-1939
Oil on panel
35-3/8 x 39 in. (89.9 x 99.1 cm)

Not on view
Having trained in an academic setting at the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg, Boris Grigoriev nevertheless incorporated much of the lessons of the early-twentieth-century European avant-garde. He lived in Paris from 1912 to 1913 and was extremely well traveled, living in Germany, France, the United States and South America before settling in the south of France in 1927. Throughout his travels, Grigoriev was dedicated to capturing faces, and he is best known for multiple series of paintings exploring the Russian peasantry and their fraught relationship with a newly industrialized world. This portrait, on the other hand, is one of many completed by Grigoriev reflecting the other side of that development. Here, a refined and sophisticated modernity is made apparent through the geometry of the sitter's cut-out yellow blouse, cocktail rings and black-lacquer earrings and the flair of her leopard-print blanket. The sitter's reclining position on her chaise, coupled with a single tulip stem, signal some traditional motifs of the genre.

Alderwoman Kristina Zambrano presented the amendments to Council members during a regularly scheduled meeting.
"When I looked at the travel policy, it was very vague," Zambrano said. "There was no accountability. We're using city money when we travel, and we need to be transparent."
Council members previously made their own lodging and travel arrangements, but city staff will now handle the planning of those arrangements. If there is training that a city employee wants to travel to attend, the trip must be presented to the Council.
"If any of us want to go, we have to come before the Council, and explain the direct benefit to the city," Zambrano said.
There will now be a $41 per day per diem to cover meals, and the city will not reimburse any business meals. Lodging expenses will be available the night preceding a conference, but if the conference does not start until 10 a.m. or later, lodging expenses for a preceding night will not be available. An expense report form documenting expenses incurred on trips which were not prepaid directly by the city must be submitted by employees within two business days of their return from a trip.
"I'm all for it," Alderman Pablo Martinez said. "I wish we would have had this months ago."
Martinez said the amendments were precipitated by recent trips made by Council members to Austin. He said he and Mayor pro tem Celestino Zambrano made the trip together, and spent $495 between them. Martinez compared that to Mayor Freddy Garcia's trip , during which he spent $500.
Celestino said Garcia stayed in Austin two nights, whereas he and Martinez only stayed one. The conference they attended started at 10 a.m., Celestino said.
Garcia was not present during the meeting. Celestino said Garcia emailed the city's district attorney to tell him that he would be in China at the time of the meeting and requested that it be canceled.
"The mayor can cancel a meeting provided there is no quorum," Celestino said. "We have a quorum, so we are within our rights to have a meeting. He doesn't have the authority to cancel a meeting just because he's not going to be here."
Council meetings are scheduled by resolution on the first and third Mondays of every month, Celestino said.
In other business, the Council held the first of two public meetings needed to set the city's tax rate at the proposed rate of 86 cents per $100 valuation. The rate exceeds the effective tax rate of 80 cents per $100 valuation, precipitating the need for two public meetings.
Last year's tax rate was 89 cents per $100 valuation.
"We're decreasing the tax rate, but the value of the city went up, so the effective tax rate will go up," Celestino said. "Most of us won't be paying additional taxes. If you had improvements made to your house, you will pay a little more."
Celestino said the proposed tax rate will raise $28,000, and will support the city's operational and maintenance expenses, including maintaining streets, signs, and vehicles.
The second public hearing for the proposed tax rate will be held Sept. 2.
