This Morning: Intel Bails Out of TV's Future, Apple's 'New Era' Per Morgan Stanley
Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of Intel (INTC) are down 45 cents, or 1.7%, at $25.41, after the company this morning announced it sold its streaming television operation, OnCue, to Verizon Communications (VZ) for an undisclosed sum. Verizon will use the division to make its FiOS fiber-optic TV more friendly, Verizon said.
Variety's Todd Spangler reports Intel is getting $250 million from Verizon, just a quarter of the original asking price of $1 billion, citing two unnamed sources.
Speaking of Intel, Dave Novosel at Gimme Credit reiterated an Outperform rating on Intel's bonds, writing that with reasonable expectations for revenue and margins this year, the company has a comfortable cash flow position.
"The good news is that Intel is not being overly aggressive with share repurchases, especially compared to many of its peers in the technology sector," with just $2.1 of buybacks last year. "If we assume a similar pace this year, which is the most likely scenario, especially since the stock just reached a 52-week high last week, Intel would have plenty of cash left over after the share repurchases."
Speaking of Verizon, the shares are up $1.35, or 2.8%, at $46.99, after the company this morning reported Q4 revenue of $31.07 billion and EPS of 66 cents, slightly exceeding consensus expectations for $31.04 billion and 62 cents.
Wireless divison revenue rose 5.7%, year over year, to $21.1 billion, the company said, as Verizon added 1.7 million retail connections on a net basis, 1.6 million of those being postpaid, with 0.96% churn, up 1 basis point.
R.W. Baird's William Power, who has an Outperform on Verizon stock, notes that smartphone activations slowed in the quarter, at 8.8 million, "up from 7.6 million in Q3, though down from 9.8 million a year ago, with the sequential increase also well below year-ago levels." Part of that, as the company noted on the conference call, was that it had a free offer of an Apple (AAPL) iPhone in the year-earlier quarter, which drove numerous upgrades by customers at that time.
Verizon did not make mention of its iPhone sales in today's press release, nor in the conference call following.
Speaking of Apple, with the company's earnings report due next Monday, it's time for the Street to prognosticate on what to expect.
Morgan Stanley's Katy Huberty reiterates an Overweight rating on the shares this morning, writing that 2014 is "the beginning of a new cycle of growth and innovation monetization. Of the quarter's results, she writes "Apple is likely to report revenue near the high-end of its $55-58B guidance range, close to our model of $57.2B and consensus of $57.4B."
"We expect iPhone shipments of 54- 55M, near our model of 55M and consensus about 53M. iPad shipments as high as 26M could drive potential revenue upside vs. our model and consensus of 23M."
Huberty writes "investors are more excited than in recent memory for the next iPhone," and that she expects new services this year from Apple, including a mobile payments service, which should receive its debut by the June developer conference.
Speaknig even further of Apple, Reuters notes this morning that a federal appeals court has granted the company a temporary reprieve from oversight by an external monitor in the e-books price-fixing case while Apple appeals the judgment against it last year. Apple has complained in recent weeks that the court-appointed monitor has a bias against the company.
Apple shares are up $4.31, or 0.8%, at $544.98.
Shares of 3-D printer maker Stratasys (SSYS) are up $1.31, or 1%, at $121.87, after Credit Suisse's Jonathan Shaffer raised his rating on the shares to Outperform from Neutral, and cut 3-D Systems (DDD) to Neutral, writing that "Since 2009, SSYS and DDD have traded at similar valuations; over the past four months, this trend has broken."
"DDD currently trades at a significant premium to SSYS, which we believe is unjustified given similar scale for both companies, and SSYS's superior consumer / pro-sumer positioning."
3D Systems stock is down $1.68, or 2%, at $73.43.
Shaers of flash-memory technology provider SanDisk (SNDK) are down $2.28, or 3%, at $71.41, after Merrill Lynch's Simon Woo cut his rating on the shares to Underperform from Neutral on concerns about the shares' valuation.
Shares of SolarCity (SCTY) are down $2.11, or almost 3%, at $73, after J.P. Morgan's Paul Coster this morning cut his rating on the shares to Neutral from Overweight, while maintaining a $68 price target, writing that "fundamentals remain constructive; the firm is doing an excellent job of reducing the cost of finance, expanding market reach, and increasing efficiency" but that "at this price level some of the exogenous risks come into focus, including rising interest rates, competition, and growing opposition to distributed solar from utilities."


text: The most exciting pairs team today for me are Savchenko & Szolkowy. Pang & Tong had great routines at the Olympics and Worlds, and it will be fun to see what they might do if they plan on continuing. I've loved watching the great connection between Shen & Zhao, and their uplifting mastery on the ice. G&G simply one of the greatest pairs of all time. But today, for me, Savchenko & Szolkowy in collaboration with their coach, Ingo Steuer, have raised the bar in pairs figure skating. I look forward to seeing what they will do this coming season. It's sad to hear about the break-up of McLaughlin/ Brubaker. Hopefully, Rockne will find another partner. For a short time, I believe Tai Babilonia had been a mentor for them (someone to talk with who had been there, done that). Tai has a great interview from last year on manleywoman's podcast in which she speaks about giving advice to Rockne and Keauna. She had asked them, "How much do you want it?" and "What do you feel right now?" Tai shared her experiences with Keauna, and told her she understood that feeling of being overwhelmed. She counseled Keauna and Rockne to have patience, and work on improving and not worry or think too much about winning. That's good advice for all skaters. One thing Tai emphasized for all U.S. pairs: "Stay together doing the tough times and the growth spurts, because you will have a better chance of succeeding in the end." The important thing Tai noted was that both sets of parents, the coach, and the pairs team must all be on the same page. Tai also stated that if you come to a point where you're not happy and you don't feel you really want it, then you should get out. Here's some inspiration for pairs skaters of today. Watch those pull Arabians, the cartwheel lift, split jumps, and the spread eagles into ina bauers! Tai and Randy didn't have the speed of Rodnina and Zaitsev, but they had superb command, precision, artistic flair, finished moves, and unparalled unison. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63cmIfO-u6k&feature=related

Mendocino County: Charting a new course for water protection?
Posted by Shannon Biggs in Community Rights, Featured, People Power, Not Corporate Power on 1st April, 2014 | 3 Comments
California's drought may be the "new normal" with communities counting water in terms of "days". So why is the state green lighting water intensive (and water poisoning) projects like fracking and a slew of other bad ideas? Residents in Mendocino have another idea for water management—local control. They are partnering with Global Exchange to pass the first County-wide rights-based ordinance in the state, to protect water and ban fracking. They may just be shaking up how water decisions are made in California while they're at it.

Arsène Wenger says that his side's lack of discipline has hampered them so far this season.
The Gunners will be without suspended trio Gervinho, Alex Song and Emmanuel Frimpong for Sunday's trip to Old Trafford, and the boss admits that red cards have caused his team to surrender valuable points.
"I feel that discipline has cost us a lot since the start of the season," Wenger said. "If we had absolutely mastered our responses and reactions, we could have six points.
"The way we lost the two players at Newcastle is of course very harsh punishment. But we have to take it on board.
"For example last night I watched Sevilla v Hannover and it looked a very correct game. But there were six yellows on one side and five on the other side. It was never a game where you could have 11 cards.
"Sometimes at the start of the season, it is like a western film - they come out a bit quicker," he added.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Did you find what you were looking for on our website?
We're always working to improve nestle.com.
What could we do better?
Nestlé is helping China accelerate the development of its milk industry with the construction of a new dairy farming institute in Shuangcheng in Heilongjiang province.
The institute, with its series of training farms, aims to be the country's leading dairy training centre, offering teaching courses from national and international experts.
Dairy farm owners and workers from Shuangcheng and other Chinese regions will be able to improve their farm management skills and learn how to use the latest agricultural technology.
They will gain practical experience in expanding their farm businesses, improving productivity and sourcing high quality milk sustainably.
Local partners will be encouraged to help create an investment fund of 2.5 billion RMB for the project.
"We have worked with the local authorities and dairy farmers in Shuangcheng for more than 20 years," said Roland Decorvet, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nestlé China.
"Over that time we have helped to transform the area into one of the largest milk producing regions in the country.
"This new training institute is a continuation of our long-term investment in the future of Shuangcheng to ensure it remains one of China's leading dairy districts," he added.
Nestlé has agreed to work with the Shuangcheng government to increase levels of training and technical assistance already provided to local farmers.
In partnership with the authorities, Nestlé has distributed 1,000 free milking machines to farmers to ensure no farmers in the region have to continue milking by hand.
Nestlé built a factory in Shuangcheng in 1987.
In its efforts to develop the rural area over the years, the company has also provided credit guarantees to those farmers with the potential to grow their businesses.
Nestlé's work with farmers in Shuangcheng is part of what it calls 'Creating Shared Value', an approach to business that aims to create value for the company's shareholders at the same time as for those communities where it operates.

Libtech Travis Rice C2BTX 157cm mini review
Finally got my Libtech Travis Rice C2BTX 157cm out for the weekend.
Weigh around 178lb, 180cm tall size 10 feet.
Rode it at Naeba, Japan from Dec 19-20 and it snow quite heavily on Friday so I was able to ride some fresh powder snow. Using 07 Vans Fargo boots and 07Burton P1 Wingtip bindings Large
No overhane for bindings, just about right
Last season been riding the 08 Burton Uninc 158cm and last weekend the K2 WWW Rocker 152cm for 2 days.
When I first rode this board, the C2 feel is definitely feels much looser than what I expected (even with the cambers on the end of the board). The Trice board is the stiffest board I ever rode (was fairly comfortable landing jumps compare to the uninc). I also was able to charge down slopes quite comfortably and ride steeper slopes that usually when I'm on my Uninc. I'm also much more comfortable riding switch on the C2BTX than regular camber board due to looser feel. ollieing off this board was good. With the same amount of effort, it seems to give back more pop compared than my uninc.
This is my first time on Magnatraction and I have to say it sure works. Icy spots where I usually wash out with my Uninc is not a problem with the TRice.
The base of the board is quite durable too. I ran through some hidden rocks on the steeps but it didn't damage the base as much I would expected
Now for the cons, without the metal edge on the tip and tail, the board gets damage more easily even with little bumps. Accidentally ran into a skier yesterday and the nose edge got slice open from the sidewall down to the base (can see the wood of the board). If there was metal edge, i doubt i have this type of damage. Another thing is that the wax on the base seems to dry out faster than other boards i rode (i rode my uninc in same condition and duration before but don't seem to dry out as quick).
Overall, I'm impressed with this board. It's fast, it gives me more confidence riding more difficult and steeper terrains, and i have an easier time riding powder. It's a good upgrade for me from the 08 Uninc.

Wasn't the Vietnam war still in full swing ?
We were still wrapping our sandwiches with wax paper. We didn't even have push button telephones. What on earth is there to debate about ? Other then the Jets did something relevant 42 years ago. Big Blue Fans will gladly cede that point.[/quote]

Your Account
Quicken is one of the many convenient ways to keep track of personal finances, but many people are unaware of Quicken's power and end up using only the basic features.

Tremendous Value

Comments about oreilly Quicken 2008: The Missing Manual:
It should be illegal to sell Quicken without this book.I was a new user to Quicken Deluxe. I went through Quicken setup once on my own, making my best guess at setup. I wasn't sure if I did everything right, and knew I wasn't getting all of Quicken's power out.I went and bought this book, started over with Quicken, and within a couple of hours, I was completely back up and running. Within a couple of days I had all of my finances in Quicken and was running reports and had a far better understanding of how my money flowed.As much as Quicken helped me understand my money (a lot!!!), this book helped me understand Quicken. This book was absolutely essential to me and I absolutely recommend it for any Quicken user, especially beginners.

Kevin Pearce, 23, has no memory of the crash that brought his snowboarding career to a grinding halt. On December 31, 2009, he was training for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Park City, Utah, when he fell and hit his head on the edge of the halfpipe. The athlete had been practicing one of the sport's most difficult tricks, a soaring double-cork move.
Luckily, he was wearing a helmet. Doctors say it saved his life. But he suffered a traumatic brain injury that affected his vision, balance and memory. He spent four months recovering in hospitals in Utah and Colorado. He still can't recall several weeks of his life after the accident. "It's definitely strange," Pearce says, peering through thick, black-framed glasses. The special lenses keep him from seeing double.
What he does remember is watching the Olympics on TV from his hospital bed, and seeing rival snowboarder Shaun White grab the gold. Friend Scotty Lago took the bronze medal. "It was hard lying there in the shape I was in, watching those guys do amazing tricks," admits Pearce, who was one of the sport's top competitors before getting hurt.
Moving Forward
Today, Pearce's focus is getting his health back to 100%. So far, he's made incredible progress in his physical therapy sessions. A year ago, he couldn't walk straight. Now, not only can he walk, he can drive again too.
Pearce says he owes his speedy recovery to the support of his fans, his friends and mostly, his family. His parents and older siblings have been by his side through it all. In May, he moved back into his family home in Norwich, Vermont. His brother Adam left his job to help care for him full time. "All I wanted was to see Kevin get better," Adam told TFK. "It feels like I'm in the right place and doing the right thing." Pearce adds, with a wide grin, "He was my license."
Pearce also credits his brother David, who has Down syndrome, for playing a role in the emotional healing process. "Growing up with David has taught me a lot of patience," he explains. "He's taught me how to take life more slowly." Pearce's mother, Pia, says her youngest son's positive attitude helped too. "I knew Kevin was going to find a way to be okay," she told TFK.
On the Road Again
These days, Pearce is back on the snowboarding circuit. Instead of performing tricks, though, he's commenting on them from the broadcasting booth. In December, he cheered on his fellow snowboarder friends at the Winter Dew Tour stop, in Breckenridge, Colorado. He also attended another Dew Tour event, in Killington, Vermont, in January. And last month, he gave his expert analysis on the Winter X Games for ESPN.
Meanwhile, the athlete in him still craves the competition. But he understands the consequences of another fall. When Pearce does ride again, he says, "I'm going to snowboard mellow. I'm all right with just getting to cruise."

Is a uncomfortable period of time of silence, in which two people who are usually in the beginning stages of a potential relationship, discover the horror of complete and utter silence. Usually this period of time is so long, that any hope of a sexual encounter is quickly extinguished.
My date was so hot! but my conversational coma kicked in thus i ended the night like i usually do, crying and masturbating.
by MohammedMudSlaP June 25, 2009
An eye-glazing lethargy induced by an individual that insists on explaining in depth a subject of little or no interest to his audience. More prevalent in mixed groups of engineers, scientists, and non-technical people.

Come celebrate food culture in the Steel City! Pittsburgh Restaurant Week kicked off Monday and will run through the weekend (Aug 12-18). The event has 69 participating restaurants, each offering discounted three-course meals, many created specially for this week.
I caught up with Brian McCollum, Director of Pittsburgh Restaurant Week, to learn more about the event.
What are your thoughts on the Pittsburgh restaurant scene?
"I'm sure that people in Philadelphia want visitors to know that they eat more than just cheese steaks. In Pittsburgh, we feel quite similar. Though we have the utmost respect for Primanti Brothers, our city has a lot more to offer than sandwiches topped with coleslaw and fries. The cultural and dining landscape of Pittsburgh has experienced a renaissance in the past decade, and Restaurant Week is a great way to highlight and celebrate this."
What's the idea behind fixed-priced meals?
"By offering a multi-course set-price menu, it allows diners to experience three different courses at a restaurant at a discount. While it's most popular for diners to venture and experience new restaurants, even local staples in the food scene have experienced great success by inventing new dishes in honor of the celebration."
Could you give us a brief history of PRW?
"Originally planned as an annual event beginning in January 2012, Pittsburgh Restaurant Week has spawned into a twice-annual celebration between Pittsburgh restaurants and the community."
McCollum said the first celebration had 30 restaurants and was so well-received that restaurants requested a second event in the summer. Compared with January 2012, this summer's PRW will feature more than double the number of restaurants.
What's the role of food bloggers in PRW?
"Personally, I think Pittsburgh Food Bloggers play a vital and necessary role in restaurant week. In fact, I started restaurant week because I am a food blogger passionate about Pittsburgh's food scene, and I felt that it was time for Pittsburgh to have a restaurant week. To incorporate my fellow bloggers into restaurant week, I host an invitational dinner just for food bloggers."

Alumni Selected to Crain's 40 Under 40
Wayne State University Law School alumni Angela Davison, '02, Douglas Salzenstein, '01, and Kevin Smith, '97, have been named by Crain's Detroit Business as three of the area's top business leaders in the publication's 2009 40 Under 40 feature.
"On behalf of Wayne Law, I would like to congratulate Ms. Davison, Mr. Salzenstein, and Mr. Smith on being named to Crain's 40 under 40," said Wayne Law Dean and Professor of Law Robert M. Ackerman. "This distinction is a tribute to their contributions to the profession and to the community and will certainly serve as motivation to the next generation of Wayne lawyers."
For the past 19 years, Crain's has honored the best and brightest in Southeast Michigan who have made their marks in business before age 40. Nearly 300 people were nominated for this year's 40 Under 40. Crain's evaluated candidates based on achievement and community impact.
Angela Davison, 37, is associate general counsel for Amcor PET Packaging USA, Inc. in Ann Arbor. She recently negotiated a three-year, $100 million deal to supply plastic bottles to a major manufacturer.
Douglas Salzenstein, 37, is a partner at Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn L.L.P. in Detroit. Working pro bono, he led a local effort to help about 80 Holocaust survivors in Michigan receive reparations from the German government.
Kevin Smith, 38, is a principal at Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone P.L.C. He led a Miller Canfield team to restructure, sell and issue about $120 million of City of Detroit bonds in less than two days, helping the city stave off insolvency.
This information was taken directly from Crain's 40 Under 40 section online at http://www.crainsdetroit.com/section/forty2009. To read more about Davison, Salzenstein, Smith and others, visit Crain's at the above link.

SAN LEANDRO, Calif. — The North Face, the outdoor product company specializing in outerwear, footwear and backpacks, is partnering with state parks around the country to encourage participation in outside activities.
Called the North Face Explore Your Parks program, the initiative is an award-winning outreach effort in its fourth consecutive year, running from now through August. The program has expanded to 13 markets, including state parks in California, Idaho, Massachusetts, Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Oregon, as well as the Chicago Park District. This marks the first time Explore Your Parks has partnered with a city park district.
Offered again this year is the Camping 101 program for first-time campers. The overnight experience, guided by park rangers, focuses on camping basics including campsite setup and etiquette, outdoor cooking, safety tips and staff-led nature education sessions.
Camping 101 activities are customized in each of the 13 markets with some state park locations offering family-oriented activities like fishing, hiking and canoeing. In Chicago, participants will learn how to camp in an urban setting with the Chicago skyline as a backdrop.
Currently, the North Face Explore Your Parks reaches approximately 25% of the U.S. population and the company says it is committed to expanding the program every year to boost interest in outdoor exploration.
"Research shows only half of Americans currently participate in outdoor activities," said Ann Krcik, director of Outdoor Exploration for the North Face. "The North Face looks to encourage people of all ages to get off the couch and venture outside to enjoy the beauty and wonder of nature — especially our parks."
"Our mission is to foster a love of the outdoors," Krcik added. "With Explore Our Parks and family involvement, we are reaching kids at an early age. If youth experience outdoor activities in a positive way, it's possible to set long-term trends for an overall healthier life."
The North Face is a division of VF Outdoor. Founded in 1968, the company caters to accomplished climbers, mountaineers, snow-sport athletes, endurance athletes and explorers. The company's products are sold in specialty mountaineering, backpacking, running, and snow-sport retailers, premium-sporting goods retailers and major outdoor specialty retail chains.

[Article]-Tutorial: Fun with SMB on the Command Line

Permalink: [Article]-Tutorial: Fun with SMB on the Command Line
Review by Thomas Wilhelm
I had a question the other day from a student at the Hacking Dojo who was interested in accessing a Windows system remotely through SMB. My initial response was to tell the student that it was similar to FTP, and they should conduct the same type of enumeration against SMB as they do anything else open on the system. Unfortunately, this did not help the student, because their hands-on experience on Windows file sharing was all done using GUI. It then dawned on me that, since I came from a Solaris background, I had a different experience. I would simply map the drives at the command line as a system / network administrator. Because of this, I decided to put together a quick tutorial for my students. Since there might be some additional confusion in the general populace of the security community, I thought getting it published on The Ethical Hacker Network would be beneficial. In a world where security awareness is rapidly increasing and your grandmother even has a secure wireless access point, one might imagine that admins without command line experience and open, anonymous SMB shares are a thing of the past… think again!
During a penetration test (pentest), it is natural to investigate FTP services within a network that allow anonymous access. It is possible that sensitive data is unintentionally placed on an FTP server by non-IT employees (for the sake of convenience) without knowing who else can access the material. During a pentest, I find these anonymous FTP systems quite frequently, and in some cases they serve up useful information. Now, if we compare FTP with system shares, we find that employees are quicker to allow anonymous access to their own files - all it takes is someone wanting access to some document another employee has on their system. In fact, sharing a single file makes it easier to maintain revisions than copying a file back and forth between an FTP server. While that is certainly convenient for the employees, it is obviously quite devastating for the organization's security posture. So let's take a look at SMB shares and how we can take advantage of them.
Looking forward to the war stories,

Happy birthday to you -- may it be a magical day :P
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Happy birthday to you -- may it be a magical day :P
Lisa L.
Howdies from Possum Trot (yes it does exist)
My most recent swap - Boomerang 16
Finished a block for OKDarla today ... it's *different* because I had to re-engineer it after I found the cutting instructions were wrong (which I found out AFTER I cut it). I had it re-engineered correctly - but then I had a blonde moment and whacked off stuff that I needed. In the end ... it's different ... but it's symmetrical, square, and 12.5" so I'm calling it done
Will upload a pic to my albums either later tonight or tomorrow. I've got to go to a birthday party now.
May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.
heheh birthday is monday silly gooses. But i did sucker the DSW cashier into giving me a birthday discount today yay $5 off shoes.. O.. M... G.... SHOES.. Thanks tho I appreciate it.
I'm so tired of being tired.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
WAIT A MINUTE GIRLY you said you were having a birthday WEEK RIGHT?? so shush up and take the birthday wishes we can do them daily for you honest happy birthday to you.. happy.. sucks being you getting me to sing daily..

My son was backwards and that was no easy thing at all then he decided to comeout facing the wrong way a day of labor for me not three. YIKES that would cure me from having had more for sure. poor momma hope she gets lots of love and care. she has to be wiped.
the ornaments I will take photos of what I have done so far which is almost zip. My table and counter a disaster full of things I can add to them. Yesterday I ended up taking TWO three hour naps after dialysis. so a wash on working but today will make a ton and post a pic. I say a ton hope to get at least 10 done. lol maybe 20 would be the goal. because I have to finish a couple quilty projects too. I NEED MORE ORNAMENTS IF ANYONE WANTS TO HELP let me know its for the Senior tree if you didnt catch the post earlier.
I had such a blast making your ornaments. I am excited to see everyones finished results whether you make tablemats, a wall hanging or a quilt with them.. show your lay outs for us to see.

Ok. in between putting binding on a quilt and need to go get some red thread to start quilting on a quilt for my mom. I got another block finished. Monday I will be putting in the mail a block for SavannahRandons. I hope she likes it.
Now off to get red thread and sew binding witht the ladies at the quilt shop today.
Received this WONDERFUL block! from moonwork Thank you so much
Here are the nice blocks I've received to date...
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.
HEre is the second set.
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.
And...this other pretty block from Elisabrat

How would lives and landscapes change if every car had a computer in the driver's seat?
Brian Hayes
Jane has a meeting this morning, so the car comes to pick her up at 8:15. En route, she finishes her breakfast, reviews her PowerPoint slides, updates her Facebook status, and does her daily KenKen. After the car delivers her to the office, it drives to a parking garage on the outskirts of the city, where it slips into a low, narrow slot. Later it will take young Judy and Elroy to their music lessons, then stop for a load of groceries before bringing Jane home. The car also has an errand of its own on today's agenda: the quarterly inspection and recertification required of all licensed autonomous vehicles.
Cars that drive themselves were already a cliché of futurist fantasies 50 years ago, and their long association with cartoonish fiction and dioramas at the World's Fair makes it hard to take the idea seriously. Nevertheless, sober thinkers believe it may be only a decade or two before the family car has a computer in the driver's seat. It's not too soon to ponder the social, economic and cultural consequences of such a development.
Already, some cars come equipped with "driver assistive technologies." There's adaptive cruise control, which keeps an eye on the car ahead and maintains a steady separation. Another system warns the driver if the car begins to stray outside its proper lane. And a few models even offer hands-free parallel parking.
More ambitious levels of automation are at the research-and-testing stage. In 1997 eight cars paraded down a San Diego freeway with the drivers waving both hands out the window, like kids showing off on a roller coaster. That demonstration was performed on a lane studded with magnetic markers to guide the vehicles, but more recent trials have not required such aids. In contests sponsored by the U.S. military, autonomous vehicles have successfully traversed rough terrain and dodged city traffic. Google has built a fleet of seven computer-controlled cars, which have driven 140,000 miles on public roads (with a human driver present but seldom intervening). And last summer four mostly driverless electric-powered minivans completed a 15,000-kilometer trip from Italy to China.
Even with these milestones behind us, huge challenges remain. Later in this column I'll return to those scientific and engineering obstacles, but first I want to play the what-if game. If we could put a cybercar in every garage, how would that change the rhythms and routines of daily life?

Great story and could only be pulled off by the level of clarity in the rendition that Joseph offers us.
Also, JR's hand creates a "feeling" which is also important in this piece. nice goin'.

Thank you very much but i like informaiton to you.
The best information but i like
Hmmm. We're all entitled to our opinion, and this is a place to share it- thus said, I personally find it hard to see how this comic is 'satisfying'. Perhaps only in the way looking at a painting is satisfying- for me, one frame of silent 'story' isn't a comic, and while I am sure it is 'well done' I find budweiser commercial more interesting than this (and that's sad, isn't it?)
Woopsy, seems I've figured out how this works. Much more interesting now. Disregard the above- it's now about as interesting as a budweiser commercial

The 2010 HRC Dinner (in Under Four Minutes!)
October 10, 2010
The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation's largest GLBT political advocacy group, held it's annual black tie dinner in Washington, DC on October 9, 2010, and I was there to sit through all the speeches on your behalf.
HRC has done commendable work for gay rights, marriage, safe schools and Ryan White funding, but stuffing their many accomplishments and celebrity honorees into one ballroom makes for a very long evening. Including the pre-dinner cocktail reception, four hours to be exact. But never fear, because I have encapsulated the entire evening down to just four minutes of the very best moments.
Watch while Ricky Martin shares his worst kept secret, Bette Midler has a Diva moment and Pink preaches to the choir! Also includes Oscar winning actress Mo'Nique and the cast of Modern Family.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by PeterG, Oct 19, 2013.
If reincarnation does happen, those would all be new souls.
Found this to be interesting... turns out, there are PLENTY of souls around from before: http://www.prb.org/Publications/Articles/2002/HowManyPeopleHaveEverLivedonEarth.aspx
But as a figure skating fan, you should know that "perfection" is subjective.
I'm assuming to believe in reincarnation, you also have to believe in a supreme figure who does the deciding.
Isn't this the idea of karma though? You are punished BY your reincarnation. You shouldn't be punished as it, because the punishment has already occurred.
I prefer Nietzche's concept of eternal recurrence. You live your life in exactly the same detail, over and over. Eternally.
Groundhog Day writ large. What a terrible idea, worse than No Exit.
I think human beings, the ones who get to live normal lifespans, are gifted with the ability to come to accept death. Whether that is a psychological trick our brains play on us to make it easier to age and die, or a gift from God, or a function of the slowing down of the body, is up to you. Speaking for myself I find death much less threatening than I did in my twenties when I just couldn't imagine ceasing to exist. Now it seems that, when I get tired enough, that will be just fine by me.
Personally I think we get one life, our minds don't exist independent of our brains and when we're dead, we're dead.
But if you feel that way, shouldn't you change how you live your life? What if we all tried to actually live as if we are going to go this way over and over eternally?
Its definitely my perferred option over reincarnation, after life, or nonexistence.
Ick. To me, that sounds almost like hell even if I were perpetually a princess.
I like the concept of reincarnating, not so much for karma, but because of the idea of having a *plethora* of experiences. So if you had 20 lives - being a princess, a housewife, a slave, a pirate, an investment banker….then each of them seems like more of an experience and adventure. And the bad lives seem more like having a different experience rather than experiencing "evil".
I'm wondering, are "you" the same "you" through all those lives so that its really like just playing a part in a play? So there's still a "you" underneath all the lives so in a way its only one life?
I like my life; its the only one I want. I would love to get to do it again.
I'm only in my 30s, but personally, it is not death I fear- it is painful suffering leading up to death that I worry about. How long will it last? How do I avoid a situation where I have to endure that?
I fear the death of others.
But what if the troubles in life are not ones you have much control over? If you are eternally oppressed, starved, beaten, etc in a war torn country, that seems supremely unfair. Sure, you could make choices to take a stand, try to change it for others: but your personal eternal existence is going to suck.
What if you yourself did not feel it was perfection, meaning that you were at odds with the supreme figure?
Is that worse than if its the only life you live?
I think this is the reason many people believe in Heaven. Something better is coming.
I think eternity would be worse than once though. Especially if there was some idea that it had all been done before- are you aware you are repeating the life?
Apparently most people are not aware.
But you don't make the decision: when you die, I don't think you get to evaluate yourself. Assuming I do believe in reincarnation (I don't think I do)- you don't get to decide what to be reincarnated as, your karma determines it. You don't get to decide when the cycle stops. When the cycle stops, you have reached perfection. My understanding of various world religions, I think almost all of them have a point where the cycle stops, and I've never heard of a belief system that allows you to be at odds with the supreme figure (who I think in some cases may just be the karmatic universe)
I don't. And not only I don't believe, i get very sad and frustrated when in a circle of well educated, well travelled, international worldly group of people such question is even raised or when people ask about mythological creature called "god". (the fact that it upsets me does not mean one should not ask them; just sharing the extend of my emotions on the subject).
I will how ever entertain a SCIENTIFIC-BASED discussion on what may happen to the movement of any creature's "energy" after death.
Ah. I would like to state for the record that, although I'm a little more hesitant to publicly criticize magical thinking, at bottom I agree with everything Tinami wrote.
It's worth remembering, though, that through the centuries many well-educated, well-traveled people have believed in the existence of God. Michelangelo, Dante, Bach, Newton, Shakespeare, Kant, Pascal . . . The list is a very long one. And today there are Francis Collins (head of the NIH) and Marilynne Robinson (winner of the Pulitzer for fiction) and Stephen Colbert and quite a few more. There are people at every level of intelligence, from the geniuses to the mentally challenged, who believe.
Pretty much what Tinami said. I'm pretty much sure there's no such thing as reincarnation, but if someone provided compelling evidence besides anecdotal stories or had a reliable method of transferring thoughts from a dying person to a newborn, I'd be more inclined to believe in reincarnation.
The finality and inevitability of death is pretty scary if we only look at our lives, but I think it's pretty cool that after I die, my atoms will return to Earth and eventually find their way into a diverse array of other living different creatures. I wouldn't bet that my atoms would retain any knowledge of what goes on inside my brain, but with how quirky quantum mechanics is, I wouldn't completely rule it out.
However, the list of scientists today who publicly affiliate with atheism and secular humanism is a great deal longer. Collins is pretty much the poster boy for religious scientists, but if you read Dawkins or Hitchens it's pretty obvious he's in a tiny minority. As for all those great minds of the past, we materialists understand that even the best and worst ideas can't be completely extricated from culture. I'd sure like to see what Leonardo or Pascal would say nowadays.
Should they be reincarnated, that is.
Not every faith tradition believes that people only get reincarnated as other people. There could be reincarnation as a bug, a flower, an animal....any "thing" that has a life.
They might be atheists . . . or they might not. To assume that people's beliefs arose solely because of the time they lived in comes perilously close to the chronological snobbery fallacy.
Anyway, Tinami's point, as I understood it, was that it's absurd for intelligent people to believe in or even discuss God. But some intelligent people do, all the same.
(I have read Dawkins and Hitchens. They're overrated. )
Yes I know that, hence the basis for the second part of my post.
I was just giving an example of tests/methods that could provide some evidence of past lives/reincarnation. After all, it's a lot easier to get information from another human than it is to ask an amoeba, slime mold, corpse flower, coelacanth, or dung beetle what they remember about any past lives
Okay so I thought about this. My first thought was to ask how much could I have screwed up last time, if I am doing better this time. Cause I screw up a lot this time.
But then I went further and considered that if EVERYONE gets do better on the second to twenty-second go around - and we all intersect - then all the people who have sucky lives would no longer have sucky lives. The scientist would have cured Alzheimer's, the slave trader would have never bought his first human, and the murderer would have never shot his gun.
So holy smoke. We'd end up with nirvana.
It's a cool thought when it's pushed out a little.
I voted undecided because I don't know for sure and I don't care. I tend to agree with Tinami because fundanmentally I am an atheist, and I equate god stories with mythology. But it doesn't bother me if other people do - they can go right ahead and worry about that as long as they don't need to tell me all about it. I can't be bothered with it. I don't feel the need to delve into it to explain anything about my life, and I don't need the threat of future lives or whatever to make me "do the right thing" in this life. I don't think I am going to be judged by god or a supreme creature. If it happens, I will be surprised, but I am not worried about it. Scientific discussion of movement of energy -- that is more interesting than a god-based discussion to me, but whatever, dead is dead to me. I'd just prefer not to be buried alive or burned at the stake, that is all. You can dump me in the garbage after death for all I care.
It seems to me from just the point of view of science that suspension of judgement makes the most sense, given how much humans' scientific knowledge and theory has changed over time. Science itself seems to predict that we cannot know at any given time what we may know at another point in time.
I'll have to go hunt up my copy of Pascal, but it seems to me that I recall his view being that regardless of arguments we might label scientific he would still choose to believe because he would gain by doing so and would not lose anything if when he died it turned out he was wrong. I don't see why he should approach that any differently today (other than cultural pressures on someone who pursues science to follow the dominant view).
I think, four hundred years later, the preponderance of evidence against a personal god who is keeping track of his deeds for eventual consignment to heaven or hell would have led that fine thinker to take a firmer stance. (And I think someone who says his belief is conditioned on self-interest isn't much of a believer!)
The many thinkers who came after him who argued that belief in god is not harmless but actually affects (and deforms) life decisions, not to mention the larger impact on society, might have impacted Monsieur as well. But he's not around to ask so it's only a fun counterfactual.
Also, I'm not sure we can or should 'suspend' judgment. We have to make decisions on the facts available. The current scientific body of knowledge not only indicates no proof of a god's existence but removes any logic or supporting reason for such belief. Then, from the standpoint of a humanist or social scientist, you are left asking if widespread belief in something that is non-existent, especially when it has such enormous impact on human decision-making and society's choices, is a good thing or something that should (without coercion) be eradicated over time, as belief in burning witches at the stake has been in most societies.
Therefore, I'm not in favor of suspending judgment.

Oahu is generally drier on the Leeward Coast (west) and wetter and greener on the Windward Coast (east). The resort area of Waikiki and the surfing mecca of the North Shore offer pleasant weather year round. Big wave surf season on the North Shore begins in November and ends in February. World-class surfing competitions also take place here between November and December. During the summer, the big waves of the North Shore subside leaving ideal beach going conditions.
There are generally two seasons on Oahu. Winter (November through April), when temperatures typically range in the low-20s to high-20s, and summer when the high can run into the low-30s. Average air temperature ranges from 23 degrees C to 31 degrees C with moderate humidity of 53% during the day. Gentle trade winds keep even the warmest months comfortable, so any time of year is a good time to visit Oahu.

text: I bought a package of bees and the queen got "lost" during the installation (candy did not seem to be seated correctly in the queen cage). Will a typical package of bees be able to stay intact for 4-5 days until I can get a new queen? (please note I said typical, I know there are no guarantees). What is the likelihood that the queen will rejoin the rest of the bees and if she does, will she likely be killed? Thanks for any info or advice.


text:
It was an unusually warm day today. I went out to the garden to dump some coffee grounds and noticed my log hive partially covered with bees. Grabbed my camera and videoed a bunch of bees waggle dancing on the outside of the hive. I'm hoping they're not ready to swarm yet. I'd like to complete my next log hive and try to 'tang' them into it.
There is a close up of a 'fanner bee' possibly getting fed by another bee...not sure if that's what happens, but it looked like it.


text: Hey guys. I recently inherited a 1997 1500 4x4 Suburban with the 5.7L engine. I have been a VW guy for quite some time and wanted to see how the mods align/differ between the Turbo tinys and the Big brute. OK, ina VW, mods usually go like this :Chip, xhaust, suspension, intake, bigger turbo. my question is, in a Suburban, will the air intake/exhuast free up the fuel mileage like it does in the small car? My MPG went from 30-35 when I swapped out to a less restrictive exhuast in the GTI. If I could get 3-4 MPG out of the Suburban, that would be awesome. Have you guys seen any improved mileage from aftermarket parts, or does it just give more power? Also, while I am here.... What should I change immediately on a truck with 100K and dubious maintenance? Fuel Filter, Trans fluid, etc...?

Town Square
Bush and Russia's Putin
Original post made by A Boomer, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Jun 5, 2007
Without passing muster on the idea of the missiles themselves, and whether or not the case can be made for this particular action by the United States and its allies, I think this points out something more profound and disconcerting about this President. His history of mis-managing foreign policy during his time in office gives this writer no confidence whatsoever that he 1. understands the policy 2. can make a compelling case with our friends for it or 3. negotiate with countries such as Russia which have a skeptical view of this idea.

Europe likes it also. Not just Bush. Europe sees which side of their borders lies the trouble.
This is defense against Iran, North Korea, not Russia.
Putin has been bringing Russia back to the "old days" for a couple years, and is continuing to push it.
He isn't happy because he has allied Russia with ..guess who? Iran.

A defense against Iran, N. Korea?
Why do we need this when they haven't the
capability to strike us?
Putin wasn't the one who brought these folks together either.
The U.S. promoted the first cold war.
It's good for business.
And now it's happenin' again.

I've never liked Condi's USSR analysis.
It's understandable that she had to pull the party line and pretend Reagan defeated the Evil Empire, but she's had nearly 20 years to acknowledge what any canny 12-year-old could figure out: Something was terribly wrong with a system where it was possible to sit in a Moscow restaurant, feast on the world's finest caviar, and wash it all down with Russian champagne for about US$9 per person.
What a kiss-up.

Rice has always had a very poor reputation as a Russian analysts. it seems like her intellectual capacity goes as far as adopting some old stereotypes about that subject. It's very doubtful that she has any profound knowledge about contemporary Russia. She is not an intellectual, she's a courtesan who memorizes just enough about a subject she actually knows very little about to make her ignorant master feel he has an expert on his side.

That is the classic re-write from leftists who were ashamed of their support of the former USSR once the Wall fell and the truth of Russia's horrific legacy came to light. The left was on the wrong side then, and is now.
All but a few accept this re-write. Especially those of us who lived through the 60s, 70s and 80s and watched the Democrats fall over themselves trying to claim they had "always" supported the Cold Ware and "always" supported Reagan's military push which drove Russia to her knees.
I look forward to watching the next 10 years in this world, and watch the history continue to be re-written. ( Just look at how many Democrats are re-writing their votes on Iraq now. These same ones will try to take the credit when we leave leave a successful Iraq)

Giving Condi Rice the benefit of the doubt when it comes to dealing with Russia (which I don't)....
Without debating whether or not it makes sense to introduce missiles into Eastern Europe at this time for "defensive" purposes (which could be viewed as a provocative act, escalating tensions)....
With a belief that democracy is a good thing (but not the only way to run a stable, safe society, as circumstances present themselves)....
Boy Shrub is off to meet with other world leaders, and is having Putin as a guest at the Bush compound in Maine.
Shrub is a boy off on a trip to do a man's work.

Yay Stanford? What was Dr. Rice's responsibility for relief to New Orleans? Abso**lutely none. Yet her shopping is highlighted while the Mayor of New Orleans, who spent the night 30 miles outside of town and the governor who failed in her obligation get a bye.

Yay, you must work for Barak, who also stated "thousands" died in a tornado a few months ago,since the poster wrote "thousands" of fellow countrymen floating down the river in New Orleans.
Both are, of course, completely false.
Umm,... Where do you pull your figures from?
And, like Walter says, what makes you think ANYBODY was responsible for the breaking of the dyke and the resultant destruction than the people of New Orleans who have voted for the officials who misappropriated the money that was meant to shore up the dyke? Not to mention the people who remained in New Orleans, ignoring the pleas from everyone, including the Prez, to get out of Dodge? And, lastly, not to mention the Mayor of New Orleans who refused to send empty and idle buses through the city to gather everyone up?
Give me a break. What a waste.

This if for normal people who are unsure how many of our fellow countrymen perished in Hurricane Katrina:
"As of May 19, 2006, the confirmed death toll (total of direct and indirect deaths) stood at 1,836, mainly from Louisiana (1,577) and Mississippi (238). However, 705 people remain categorized as missing in Louisiana, and many of the deaths are indirect, but it is almost impossible to determine the exact cause of some of the fatalities."

A lesson in careful reading "total direct and INDIRECT deaths" is like saying "total deaths and CASUALTIES". This is NOT thousands floating down the river. They are STILL counting "deaths from Katrina" as those who die TODAY for any reason that MAY be attributable to "Katrina".
Gosh, maybe I should blame the city I was born into for causing my headaches today because it was polluted.

What does everyone think is the best Jak game?
Well with the trilogy now out on Vita, I thought i might as well ask what is everyone's favourite Jak game?
The games are...
Jak & Daxter the Precursor Legacy
Jak 2 Renegade
Jak 3
Jak X
Jak & Daxter The Lost Frontier.
Personally mine is Jak 3. I liked how ND fixed how hard Jak 2 was. The story was great but not as good as Jak 2's. Jak had a great personality this time around making jokes sometimes while still being dark. The gameplay was great as well with the new guns, new Dark Jak powers and Light Jak.
Kingdom Hearts FTW!

Re: What does everyone think is the best Jak game?
Re: What does everyone think is the best Jak game?
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy has been the leading favorite since the beginning. While the later games were good (well, some of them), they just weren't the same as the first one. Jak II took a note from Grand Theft Auto and crammed the world with guns and vehicles. It's a mess compared to the first game. Jak 3 similarly followed the second one. While there was less of a fuss, the game still has its own share of problems (particularly when it comes to skidding around the desert and having constant waves of enemies blasting you from all corners).
Re: What does everyone think is the best Jak game?
I like the three of them, but I feel that in jak 2 there are too many flying vehicles and it's impossible to enjoy the ride, also many of them are difficult to handle, except the small ones; and finally, there are too many guards constantly shooting at you. Also, having to walk around the same city over and over again can become a bit tedious.
Re: What does everyone think is the best Jak game?
In my opinion, Jak 3 is the best Jak game. I loved the constant battle raging around Haven City and taking on wave after wave of the marauders in the wasteland. Also, it wasn't as frustrating as Jak 2.
Re: What does everyone think is the best Jak game?
The first one, Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. Mainly because it is a pure platformer (like Spyro and Crash in that respect) without the guns and Jak trying to hard to be cool and edgy.
I still like Jak 2 and Jak 3 (some of the platforming sections in them are really fun too), its just that the first one takes the cake for me personally.
PSN ID: Yawnier, feel free to add me.
Re: What does everyone think is the best Jak game?
Jak 3
Jak 2 Renegade
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
They are all fun games, but they personally got better as the series went on. Jak X is in a league of its own, so I didn't include that.
I never played Daxter, so I can't comment. I saw a playthrough of TLF on Youtube and dare not mention it.

Police arrest two men in Kingsport for drugs
Kingsport, Tenn. - Two men are facing charges after police say they witnessed them in the middle of a drug deal.
Kingsport Police tell us on Tuesday night they spotted Robert Collier and Marcello Fernandez sitting in a car at a parking lot near West Stone Drive. Police say when they approached the car they saw Fernandez holding a bag containing Suboxone pills which he shoved into his pocket.
We're told when police tried to apprehend him he resisted, but was eventually taken into custody.
Police say they also found a substance believed to be marijuana in the car that Collier told them he was there to buy. Police say they also seized about 150-dollars in cash.
