Every day in business is another play for success. Players at every level of the game – aspiring amateurs, rookies, and even seasoned professionals - are dedicated to pushing the limits by putting everything on the line for their goals. Join us for a month-long discussion dedicated to "Going for the Gold" in celebration of this year's OBJ Golden 100 honorees, and bring your business game to the next level.
Driving growth through technological strategies can only reach maximum potential when efficiency is the main focus. While these plans can quickly change how the game of business is played, it is limited by the understanding of leaders at the highest level pushing to make the most of these advancements.
Read more about the undeniable impact technology will have on the future of your business growth, and find out how executive leadership in this area of business can make the difference.
4 Reasons the Unstoppable Technology Explosion Will Impact Your Business
The speed of technology advancement is driving the evolution of your business. Turn the challenges into important competitive opportunities. Anticipate and apply the new technologies in a smart way. The perspective of Montserrat Corominas.
The whole world is in a continually escalating technology race according to Montserrat Corominas. This race of technology is apparent in how it took 30 years for electricity and 25 years for telephones to reach 10 percent adoption but less than 5 years for tablet devices to achieve the 10 percent rate. Digging into this race, there are four overlapping trends that affect the global marketplace:
- Market Entry is Getting Easier
The speed of technology provides opportunities in markets that were not previously accessible. For example, the cost of entry was too high, sensors too expensive, the communication links were not reliable, infrastructure investment was required, etc. The advent of cloud technologies and mobile computing allows entrepreneurs and customers to spend their time wisely and work anytime, anywhere.
- Entirely New Disruptive Markets
The speed of technology also enables development in markets that did not previously exist such as wearables, e-Health, even sneakers. This year the wearable industry is set to hit $14 billion and forecasts indicate that the industry will be worth $34 billion by 2020.
- Data Travel at the Speed of Trust
Understanding how to empower the customer, enriching his or her experience and jointly developing and improving services are key. Even if there are data concerns, they can be overcome with trust. Customers are willing to provide data when they use a trusted service.
- 4. New Digital Skill-Sets and Attitudes
New technology requires human capital skills that constantly need updating to keep up with the challenge of newly required skill-sets. In addition, in this new age of customer empowerment, there are new service business practices and attitudes, which require companies to adapt their existing processes faster than ever before.
Ensure that your company takes advantage of events and training to enhance your team's knowledge. The learning that events provide will help your business to stay on top of trends so that you are poised to benefit from the opportunities that arise. A great example is the New Mobility World event, which focuses on the industries of smart cities, transportation and logistics.
Even the basics of agriculture is not immune, and we are becoming independent
from mankind's first role, advancing yet again into a new era. Spread, a Japanese company, has started a new project in which only half of the workers will be human: a lettuce farm operated by robots.
No industry is immune from the speed of technology advancement, but executive leadership must spearhead technologically based agendas to maximize efficiency for the business.
Why Growth-Oriented CEOs Must Embrace New Technology Advancements
"I believe that CEOs and boards do not have a choice in the matter as technology enablement has become mission-critical to every company. From the perspective of the CEO and the board, they do not necessarily need to become technology experts. All they need is to have a clear understanding of how technology advancements can help their business by redefining business models, operational processes and most importantly – customer experience and engagement."
- Kumar R Parakala, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Technova
Companies in almost all industries including retail, banking, media, education, entertainment, communications, IT services, recruiting, transportation and healthcare are seriously impacted by the innovative use of new technologies. New technology-enabled companies are seriously disrupting traditional companies by leveraging technology advancements to create new businesses.
Some examples are Amazon, Netflix, Airbnb, Apple, Google, Zappos, Skype, Alibaba, Facebook and Freelancer. As these new companies emerge, we have seen iconic companies disappear, such as Nokia, Borders, Blockbusters, Life Magazine, Woolworths Group, and Kodak.
Evidence That Leaders are Still Slow to Adaptation
What prevents many CEOs and boards driving growth agenda by using new technology advancements, is a lack of knowledge and understanding.
- Recent studies such as the one conducted by Grant Thorton have identified that most boards worldwide fail when it comes to diversity and technology.
- Some of the recent surveys of company boards such as the PwC's 2015 Annual Corporate Directors Survey indicate that the majority of boards believe that technology is mission-critical and crucial to the survival of a business.
- Surveys, such as the Watermark Board Diversity Survey 2015 highlighted a deficiency in suitably skilled executives at the board and CEO level to leverage technology advancements for business growth.
- While almost 55% of board-level executives have accounting and legal backgrounds, only 3% come with technology experience or relevant skills.
Action Plan for CEOs Seeking Growth Leverage Through Technology Advancements
- Improve understanding of disruptive technology trends in their own industry and related industries
- Increase board and senior executive level awareness, particularly in relation to strategic benefits and risks
- Adopt an agile and lean approach to technology-enabled innovation
- Prioritize technology enabled business growth and transformation as a major corporate initiative sponsored by the board;
- Reduce leadership talent obsolescence; and
- Become bold and increase their appetite for failures/risk taking
- Make CIO or the relevant technology leader a member of the senior executive team
- Seek sufficient external and independent advice to avoid missing out on opportunities
- Lead by example in adopting new innovations and technological advancements
It is important for all CEOs to understand the role of technology in business transformation and growth if they want to succeed in the new digital age. Successful use of the latest technological advancements starts with executive leadership who will properly use these tools to push for a more effective corporate strategy, daily operation, and overall customer experience.
There are a variety of innovative options to maximize the finance processes of any business.

The cost of food in America remains affordable. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service, American consumers spend, on average, just over 10 percent of their disposable income for food. That means the average household will have earned enough disposable income – that portion of income available for spending or saving – to pay for its annual food supply in about seven weeks, said Kentucky Farm Bureau president Mark Haney.
The 4-H Dog Club will meet 10 a.m. Feb. 18 at the LaRue County Extension Office. Members may bring their dog on a leash, if the weather is not rainy or snowy. New members are welcome to attend.

Farmers planning for this year's burley tobacco crop need to keep disease prevention and management a part of those plans.
Black Shank was a big disease problem in some fields last year, and may or may not be a problem this year. There's no way to tell what disease pressures growers will face in the coming growing season. Much depends on the climate with diseases like black shank, blue mold and target spot.
The new year for fishing licenses begins March 1.
This coming year presents some new opportunities to catch rainbow trout, blue catfish, redear sunfish, also known as shellcrackers and white crappie.
Black crappie now dominate the population in Taylorsville Lake, and a good spawn last year should lead to good fishing for blacks in the coming years. Also, three years of white crappie stockings should lead to great fishing this spring.

The handles on the inside and outside of the vehicle are attached to two rods behind the door panel. When the handle is pulled, it actuates the rods behind the panel. The rods pull the latch, which allows the door to open. It is frustrating when the latch malfunctions, forcing you to find another way to open the door or, worse, to have to crawl across the passenger side to exit the car. With the proper tools, replacing the door latch on the Toyota Camry takes about an hour.
Things You'll Need
- Painter's tape
- Flat-head screwdriver
- Scratch awl
- Phillips screwdriver
- Combination wrench set
- Lock and latch assembly
Disconnect the negative cable from the battery post. Wrap the connector of the cable in painter's tape to prevent energy from flowing to the vehicle should it come into contact with the battery.
Wrap the tip of the flat-head screwdriver in painter's tape to prevent scratching or damaging the vehicle.
Remove the screw cap covers on the door panel to reveal the screws holding the panel in place.
Press the spring-loaded fastener with a scratch awl to remove it. The spring-loaded fastener is located on the side of the door panel on the entrance side.
Pry off the frame around the door latch using a flat-head screwdriver.
Pry open the lock and window control panel on the door using a flat-head screwdriver.
Disconnect the electrical connector of the lock and window control panel by pulling the two connectors apart.
Remove the screws holding the door panel in place using a Phillips screwdriver.
Pry off the cover near the top of the door panel that covers the bolts for the side mirror using a flat-head screwdriver.
Pry a section of the door panel using a flat-head screwdriver to start the removal. Repeat this around the door until the panel is loose, then remove the panel.
Remove the bolt holding the door latch in place using a combination wrench.
Move the latch away from the door and remove the attached rods by pulling them out of place.
Remove the screw holding the rod to the outside door handle using a Phillips screwdriver.
Remove the screws holding the latch and lock assembly in place. The latch and lock assembly are located on the opening side of the door.
Disconnect the rods from the latch and lock assembly and remove the assembly.
Install the new latch and lock assembly and reattach the rods. Tighten the screws with a Phillips screwdriver.
Reassemble the door in reverse order of removal.

Former Blue Jays announcer Cheek wins Frick Award
Associated Press | Last updated December 05, 2012
Former Toronto Blue Jays announcer Tom Cheek has won the Ford C. Frick Award for excellence in baseball broadcasting. The award was announced by the baseball Hall of Fame on Wednesday at the winter meetings. Cheek died in 2005. Cheek called the first 4,306 regular-season and 41 postseason games in the Blue Jays' history, starting in 1977. Cheek's most famous call came in the 1993 World Series when Joe Carter hit a home run in Game 6 against Philadelphia that won the championship. ''Touch `em all, Joe!'' Cheek said into the microphone. ''You'll never hit a bigger home run in your life.'' Cheek worked as backup announcer for the Montreal Expos in 1974. He later joined the Jays and didn't miss a game until 2004. Cheek will be honored during the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies July 26-29 in Cooperstown, N.Y. He was born in 1939, one day after the Hall opened.

mushrooms. Pennsylvania farmers, who in total represent 81 million square feet of production, need an alternative to the traditional fluorescent lighting fixtures, as these fixtures are not energy efficient, break easily, and contain mercury. According to the company's President, Joel Gehly, "The average mushroom farmer breaks about 300 fluorescent tubes a year when moving the
existing fixtures during cleaning cycles. Broken tubes expose the personnel and crops to traces of mercury. Our LED fixtures are environmentally-

April 2012 Coming Changes
Enforcement Issues
- Article Listing and Articles: The THE problem
- Articles with THE at the beginning of their titles do NOT need to be put under the 'T' section of the Article Listing. This is happening a lot, and I hope that people are noticing these instances or at least have been fixing them.
- There needs to be a stronger warning (than none at all) for people doing this because I'm seeing this happen a lot despite the obvious messages on the AL page.
- OC Categorized Pages and the User Submission Addition Issue
- Sometimes, I honestly feel like the User Submissions page is my own little pet project. There's the OCR, OCRT, and USRT templates for warning messages...but a good percentage of the time it seems like I'm the only one doing the warnings.
- Sure, people remove pages that no longer exist from the Submissions page, but I'm not really seeing anyone else looking at the Recent Activity and checking to make sure that when someone categorizes a page as OC that they are also adding it to the Submissions page. For the past few days, 100% of the pages that were not added to the Submissions page were unwarned and did not get the OC tag removed.
- The rule is that a user has thirty (30) minutes from the time they add the OC category to a page to add it to the User Submissions page or they will face an incremental ban like the one for the Article Listing. The same is true for adding a page to the User Submissions but not adding the OC category.
- I would really like to request that my admin be on the lookout for pages that get added to the OC category but not the US and vice-versa and be removing the OC tag from the offending pages. The ARTICLE TALK PAGE gets the OCR (OC Removal) template added and the USER'S TALK PAGE gets the OCRT (OC Removal Talk) template. If their pages were removed from the Submissions page, they get the USRT (User Submissions Removal Talk) template on their talk page.
Site Issues
- Categories Are Feral
- Categories have gotten out of control. Many categories (People, Places, Weird, etc.) need to be examined and probably retooled/rethought/explained better. Many of our editors are wont to add several categories that may not actually fit with the page onto which they have added them.
- This is going to lead to me needing to review all the categories and the pages within them for relevancy. READ: I or a team of people that I can trust to understand the concept of ALL the categories to go down the Article Listing and read EVERY page to make sure that the categories our pages have matches the actual content.
- OC/User Submissions: Y U NO DO BOTH?
- There's at least 65 pages that are marked as OC that are NOT on the Submissions page.
- This means I need to manually compare the OC category's 873 pages with the User Submission's 802 (or so) pages to find which ones are not listed and then remove the OC tag/warn the users. Then (or before then) I will need to identify and either remove or properly tag any and all pages on the User Submissions that do NOT have the OC Category. (This is a job for someone with a lot of coffee. Just know that coffee isn't terribly cheap here at ~6-8 dollars a tin for the generic Wal-Mart stuff, depending on market flux. Folgers 34 oz is 10 bucks. Yes, they sell smaller, but online only. Instant coffee I get is 5 dollars for 8 ounces. This is going through 1600+ pages, which is sum srsly bs for anyone to deal with.)
- Deletion Nomination Cleanup
- It's pretty weird in there, and I should just go haul off an make TABLES for nominating pages. PAGE NAME, REASON, 4-tilde (~) SIGNATURE. Clear out everything there that has been reviewed/deleted, review/delete what has not, then reinvent that page.
New Features
- Image Galleries:
- I've been working on a new system of pages/subpages for the image galleries to reduce the page load times (and to stroke my subpage fetish I seem to have). Each subpage will contain a set number of images and have links to the previous and following pages. I had wanted a JUMP TO PAGE list where all the subpages are listed at the bottom between PREVIOUS and NEXT, but that would require massive updating whenever there are new pages. I'd rather not have to fumble with that semi-constantly. I'll settle for laying down the framework for each page and then applying the images to them.
- This, though, means that the existing galleries will need to be sanitized (have duplicate/deleted images removed and have the images split into sets of X, where X=# of images/page. Once the galleries are dupe/deleted images free, moving them into sets will be easy. Once they are set-ified, I will be able to see the number of subpages required and then can quickly take the framework and apply the images to them.
- New rules will then be put into place to help regulate and instruct users as to how to go about adding new gallery pages and the limits to those pages in terms of numbers of images. I do not want to see people screwing around with the galleries' sizes or images per row. In this format-unlike how it is now-this sort of 'vandalism' will be easy to spot.
- Top-of-Page Notification Template
- Many wikis have them, and ours should be no exception. I would like to create a top-page notification template box thingy that proudly declares that the page below it is in dire need of editing. This, ideally, would also automagically add a category that will be used soley for pages needing editing...and not MARKED FOR DELETION or Marked for Review. Perhaps "Pages Needing Editing" or something. Marked for Review should be something that marks a page for Admin review and then the PNE template would be applied to the pages needing to be edited. After a period of non-fixage, they would be unceremoniously deleted/thrown into the pits of Hell to burn for all eternity.
- Suggested Reading/PotM Identification Image/Barnstar-esque Thingamabob.
- However they do that barnstar thing is how we need like a fancy quill or something to quickly identify Suggested Reading pages. It's fancy and schmancy. Low priority, but cool nonetheless.
- Admin Voting
- It has been brought to my attention that it would be nice if there was a voting page to gauge public response to applicants.
- Since we have a large number of admin currently, I have been avoiding adding new ones. Because of this, I am probably going to move to a QUARTERLY hiring/reviewing schedule (Jan/Feb/Mar, Apr/May/Jun, July/Aug/Sept, Oct/Nov/Dec) for this.
- Creating a voting page will lead to me creating an application page, maybe with delicious TABLES with NAME/REASON/DATE columns/rows. If you give Cleric a voting page, he'll want to make a separate page for applications. Failing TABLES, I wouldn't mind USERNAME-HEADER, REASONS/QUALIFICATIONS, and TIME/DATE STAMP format. This would unclutter my talk page. Discussion of applications would go on the talk page, under a heading about that applicant.
- Admin/Chatmod Performance Reviews
- If you give Cleric an application page, he'll want to make a Quartely blog post with a 1-10 poll for the users (and fellow admin/chatmod) to vote on how they feel the admins have been performing the past three months. The blogs will allow users to express their feeling about peopleses and unrelated posts will be deleted and the person warned/blocked. Pointless things, I mean, like someone just posting "COOL" or the like. Polls would be formatted like so: How would you rate CLERICOFMADNESS's performance for Q1 2012? This allows for better user feedback.

Kenneth I. Appel, Mathematician Who Harnessed Computer Power, Is Dead at 80 - NYTimes.com
Rohit Khare stashed this in Hacking
Stashed in: Math!, History of Tech!, Turing, R.I.P.
RIP to the man who started me down the path of a career in computer science… I still have a signed copy of his proof back at home…
Their conclusion, that four colors would suffice for any map, depended on 1,200 hours of computer time — the equivalent of 50 days — and 10 billion logical decisions all made automatically and out of sight by the innards of an I.B.M. computer at the University of Illinois in Urbana.
Hailed in some circles, including this newspaper, as "a major intellectual feat," the proof shepherded computers toward a greater role in higher math. But it made many mathematicians uneasy; they worried about computer bugs and wondered how they could check or understand a "proof" they could not see. And it ignited a long-running debate about what constitutes a mathematical proof.

Volleyball Tops Rutgers 3-2 for Season Sweep
Nov. 27, 2013
CINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati volleyball team picked up a 3-2 (25-15, 21-25, 25-22, 21-25, 15-11) see-saw win over Rutgers University on Wednesday evening at Fifth Third Arena. The Bearcats completed the season sweep over the Scarlet Knights with their second victory over the conference opponent.
Four Bearcats players scored in double figures in the match, led by junior Me'Ashah Nicholson (Shiloh, Ill./Belleville Althoff) and freshman Mallory Blauser (Round Rock, Texas/Round Rock Christian Academy) who each tallied 14. Sophomore Amelia Wegman (Aurora, Ill./Rosary) and freshman Breanna Barksdale (Chula Vista, Calif./Eastlake) added 11 and 10 kills, respectively.
Defensively, freshman Shelby Green (Dripping Springs, Texas/Dripping Springs) collected 24 digs to lead a quintet of Bearcats in double digits. Blauser (13), junior Madi Lang (Commerce Township, Mich./Florida Atlantic) (10), junior Jamie Netisingha (Westmont, Ill./Hinsdale Central) (10) and sophomore Morgan Allred (Carrolton, Texas/Hebron) (10) also contributed for Cincinnati.
Blauser's 14 kills and 13 digs made up her first-career double-double. Lang scored a new career high with 44 assists while also having 10 digs and eight kills for her fifth double-double of the season and narrowly missing a triple-double.
Collectively, the Bearcats totaled 65 kills and 82 digs, a new season high for the team.
In the decisive fifth set, the Bearcats worked their way to a slight lead and held on for a 15-11 win and a 3-2 match victory. UC scored on three straight possessions, including two Barksdale blocks, to take a 4-2 lead that it would not relinquish. On the team's first match point opportunity, freshman Samantha Schrenker (Elmhurst, Ill./York Community), who only appeared in the final set for the Bearcats, sent a powerful kill over the net to give her team the win.
The Bearcats earned a dominating 25-15 win in the first set after racing out to an early 5-0 lead. Lang, Blauser and Allred each recorded kills during the run and continued to pace UC throughout the game. The Bearcats put together another five-point run later in the set to take a 19-8 lead. Blauser tallied two kills in the scoring spurt while Allred had two service aces. A kill by Lang ended the game at 25-15 in favor of the Bearcats. Cincinnati finished the first set with 16 kills and a .438 hitting percentage.
Rutgers evened the score after winning the second set 25-21. The Scarlet Knights forced the Bearcats into an early timeout after scoring five consecutive points to jump ahead 7-6. RU continued to score multiple points at a time throughout the game, including three straight points to end the set at 25-21. The Bearcats stuffed the Scarlet Knights for four blocks in the game.
In the third set the Bearcats used a five-point run, with kills from Wegman, Green and Nicholson, to take a 9-5 lead. Cincinnati led by as many as five points as the teams traded scoring runs throughout the remainder of the set. Rutgers closed the gap to one point at 22-21 before a timeout called by head coach Molly Alvey composed the team. On the Bearcats' set point, what looked like a RU block was saved by a shoestring touch by Cincinnati and a subsequent block by Barksdale gave UC the 25-22 win. Wegman led all players with six kills in the game while Green added seven digs.
The Scarlet Knights once again tied the match at 2-2 after a 25-21 victory in the fourth game. The scoring was close throughout much of the set and the Bearcats held a 17-16 lead before four points from Rutgers put the visitors ahead 20-17. RU held the lead and an attacking error by UC gave the Scarlet Knights the win.
Prior to the start of the match, the Bearcats honored Emmi MacIntyre (Muncie, Ind./Yorktown) in a senior night ceremony. MacIntyre finishes her career ranked third all-time with 1,607 career digs and second with a 4.24 career digs/set average.
The Bearcats will conclude the 2013 season on Friday, Nov. 29 with a tilt against the University of Connecticut. The match will begin at noon at Fifth Third Arena.

Game of Thrones season 4 episode 6 "The Laws of Gods and Men" gifs and memes
Adam Rifkin stashed this in Game of Thrones!
The opening shot of Braavos was spectacular:
Stashed in: Best of GoT
Reddit discussion of 4x06 "The Laws of Gods and Men" :
Will add gifs and memes to this page as I find them.
Thank you Butcher_Of_Hope for making this gif from 4x06:
More Tyrion gifs:
The Grantland article explains why we're in the trenches now:
It was a change in focus that felt both welcome and surprising — though in retrospect it probably shouldn't have caught me off guard. As always, Benioff and Weiss twin the types of stories they want to tell with the way they tell them. The first few years of Game of Thrones advanced the plot in great, slashing strokes: Wars were declared, battles waged, cities sacked, heads rolled. But this fourth season began with a different sort of lesson. Remember the long scene in the brothel when Prince Oberyn of Dorne, as fluid with his movements as he is with his sexuality, educated some preening Lannisters? When faced with an unknown outsider, they rested on their privilege and reached for their weapons. Before they could unsheathe anything, Oberyn had a dagger through one man's wrist and a threatening laugh ringing in the ears of the other. Long swords were well and good during the early days of the conflict, when noble crusaders like Ned and Robb Stark were rallying citizens under the flag of fair play and villains like Joffrey wereliterally threatening to skin a cat. But Game of Thrones is in the trenches now. If you're not playing dirty, you're not playing to win.
Or maybe you're not playing at all. Ever since communing with Ghost Drogo in Dean Pelton's nightmare labyrinth back in Season 2, Daenerys has rolled through Essos like a Category 5 hurricane. But conquering isn't the same thing as ruling — it's not even the same language. The Unsullied are intentionally a faceless mass — they're the long sword she has used to cut a swath through every city in Slaver's Bay. Now, thanks to either her vanity or her decency, Daenerys has made the same mistake Orpheus once did: She turned around. Instead of losing a lover, she lost her momentum — and, hopefully, her lingering naïveté. There's very little that's noble about the chaos and destruction left in her wake. To quote a wooden puppet: Freedom ain't free. Now that she has decided against sailing ahead to her supposed destiny, Daenerys appears ready to sink into a quagmire entirely of her own making.
Don't get me wrong: If the rest of Game of Thrones concerned itself solely with Meereenese municipal board meetings and Braavosi bank holidays, I'd be plenty disappointed. (I'd also be kind of impressed!) But for now it's a fascinating detour into the game behind the Game, the one with rules that aren't so easily bent. All told, free lollipops were the only thing lacking from Stannis and Davos's trip to the imposing Iron Bank — a visit that was established with some of the show's best use yet of CGI (though I imagine HBO got a discount on the pre-owned mystical statue). Casting the wonderfully supercilious Mark Gatiss (Mycroft Holmes on the BBC's brilliant Sherlock) as Tycho Nestoris, the lead teller, was equally inspired. No actor alive is better at basting his speechifying with equal measures of authority and disdain. I haven't heard such a scintillating conversation about commodities futures since the Duke brothers were still alive.
More revealing than Tycho's words, though, was his behavior. Only a man with numbers — not soldiers — on his side can afford to treat a regal visitor like a schmuck trying to renew his driver's license at the DMV. Tywin Lannister is constantly referred to as the most powerful man in the world, and he certainly carries himself that way. But the Hand of the King looks as foolish as Ser Dontos compared with the Wallet of the East; he's an old man whose quill keeps writing checks his barren mines can't cash. It brings to mind the words of a certain former Master of State who once led a country into an unplanned invasion of a desert nation: If you broke it, you bought it. Fair enough, but what if you can't afford to pay for the mess you've made? What will get broken then?
The business in Braavos was the best illustration yet of the unsentimental "reality" that undergirds George R.R. Martin's more soaring flights of fancy. Game of Thrones isn't necessarily contrarian; it doesn't seek to demonstrate how evil will always outfox good. What it does is show, with increasing specificity, how notions like "good" and "evil" mean little in a universe prone to greed and chaos. As the weeks pass, it becomes more and more clear that the title of the series is meant as a joke. These incestuous ponces with horns on their heads and animals on their banners are playing their games on someone else's dime — and, often, with other people's lives. That's why it was so important to travel from the bank tower all the way down to the bathhouses, where an overdressed Ser Davos paid a visit to his old friend Salladhor Saan, the sex pirate.
Oh, how happy I was to see my favorite character enjoying a well-deserved schvitz in the company of fine women and awful jokes! And it's not just Lucian Msamati's merry performance that charms me. I've been arguing for years that the sex pirate is the most relatable character on Game of Thrones because he swears allegiance only to House Party. Last night, his welcome presence suggested something even more profound about the way his awful world truly works. Saan is a pirate and Davos is a smuggler — he was before he lost his fingers and, it seems, he will be soon once again. In other words, they are the individuals who move things from one place to another, who do the grunt work the Highborn are neither interested in nor aware of. Who do you think lugged those jugs of Dornish wine that Oberyn was bragging about in the throne room last night? Who do you think picked and packed the lemons that were baked into cakes for Sansa last week at the Eyrie? Seeing Saan and Davos is an important reminder that Westeros wouldn't cease to function without kings. There are far too many of those as it is. What the world truly requires to function is humble functionaries — and anyone who seeks to hold power would do well to remember it.
This could have been an awful episode -- full of red tape -- but instead it was awesome.

Bronn and Jaime discuss trial by combat:
This was the first episode ever that featured no Starks:
They didn't laugh when Pycelle called Joffrey "the most noble boy the world had ever seen" but they do when Shae talks about Tyrion. Worst. Audience. Ever.
How great an actor is Peter Dinklage? Amazing!
It's amazing how this show is basically Varys vs. Littlfinger. Two born from nothing and made to manipulate everything.
That look he gave when he looked at the throne while talking to oberyn.
"Varys, how you gonna do me like that bro?" - Tyrion
You can tell Tywin had this planned out before Jaime even had the idea in his head to give up the Kingsguard for Tyrion's life.
You can also tell that Tyrion figured out Jamie was giving up something to get mercy for him. Between that and Tywin using Shae against him he opts for trial by combat because fuck you "Dad", you're not getting what you want this time. Good stuff, awesome subtext.

Great Grantland description:
Just a few weeks removed from Joffrey's despicable wedding entertainment, here was another dwarf forced to submit himself to a high-society farce. Everyone played his or her role to perfection, from Oberyn's crowd-baiting grins to Margaery's disturbed glances. And it was quite rich, all the well-fed hypocrites hubbub-ing in the aisles, pretending to be shocked by stories of things they themselves dream of doing every night. And Pycelle with his laundry list of poisons! As if the most dangerous venom in King's Landing were stored in a bottle and not in the Queen Regent's veins. Yet what stung the most was the cold, Law & Order–like logic of the actual trial. Tyrion wasn't hoisted on his own petard, he was spit-roasted on it. Every word used to damn him emerged from his mouth over the course of the series, context be damned. (Cersei's impressive wine consumption clearly has had no ill effect on her memory and uncanny ear for dialogue.)
Jaime's self-sacrifice was moving — one Kingslayer laying down his life for another — but it was also a trap. The speed with which Tywin agreed to Jaime's proposal, and the ease with which he referred to the actual parentage of his grandsons ("you'll … father children named Lannister"), made it plain that once again the Hand of the King was holding all the cards. Instead of killing a son he didn't love, he gained the son he always wanted. It would have been almost beautiful if it weren't so cruel. (Also cruel? The instant dismissal of Lancel Lannister, the Frank Stallone of Casterly Rock. Let a dude live!) Like Daenerys, Tywin leaned on the word "justice" like a crutch, a prop to lift himself up even as he stoops into the muck.
It all almost worked, too. Tywin was moments away from having Tyrion banished to the North and Jaime exiled to eHarmony.com when someone overplayed their hand. At first it wasn't clear whether Shae had returned of her own volition, but soon, as the bitterness flew from her mouth like daggers, it was plain that she was there only to hurt Tyrion as much as he had hurt her. In the end, it wasn't hard. With his heart separated from his body, the Imp no longer cared much for the fate of his head. And in that moment, instead of making a joke, he chose to make himself heard.
Littlefinger was right when he said that everyone in King's Landing is a liar, but, for a single glorious moment, there was one man in the center of the throne room speaking nothing but the truth. Yes, he wanted Joffrey dead. At Blackwater Bay, Tyrion had saved a vile city unworthy of his largesse. He wouldn't make the same mistake again, just as he won't give the backstabbers and social climbers the pleasure of his continued humiliation. If he must face the noose, he'll take it into his own hands. A trial by combat isn't about defending your past, it's about fighting for your life. (Whether Tyrion will actually pick up a sword this time or once again tag out in favor of a more skilled champion — Bronn? Left-handed Jaime? — remains to be seen. I'm hoping for the former.)
I'm hoping for the former, too.
Poor Tyrion:
When Tyrion came to King's Landing, he'd just been appointed acting Hand of the King, and he was suddenly eager to prove that he was smarter than the previous Hand, Ned Stark. But last night's episode shows him facing the exact same fate as Ned, because he couldn't stop being too clever for his own good.
Tyrion's masterstroke was that he told three different people three different plans, to see which one got back to his sister Cersei: Littlefinger, Varys and Pycelle. Whoever told Cersei, Tyrion would know he couldn't trust. When Pycelle ratted Tyrion out to Cersei, Tyrion had Pycelle tossed in a black cell. And then Tyrion went ahead with his real plan, sending Cersei's only daughter Myrcella away to Dorne to be protected (or to be a hostage.)
There are a few key flaws in Tyrion's cunning ruse, however. First of all, he should have known already who he could trust: nobody. Second of all, the two people he came away deciding he could trust were Littlefinger (who framed him for murder, although he doesn't know that) and Varys (who just testified against him at his trial.) Third of all, he made an enemy of Pycelle, who is only too eager to make up crazy stories about Tyrion stealing every poison on Earth from Pycelle's stash.
This whole business of figuring out who you can trust is only slightly different than Ned Stark insisting on giving Cersei a fair warning before revealing her secret — in both cases, it betrays a misunderstanding of how the world works.
And Tyrion wouldn't be on trial for Joffrey's murder if he'd played his cards even slightly right. He basically did the opposite of the smart thing on every occasion, openly defying Joffrey and mocking the idiot king to his face. He even joked about kings dropping like flies. And meanwhile, Tyrion made an enemy of Cersei, instead of humoring her admittedly bonkers notions.
What's amazing about Tyrion's trial for Joffrey's murder is how much of the testimony is true. There are some distortions here and there, and people leave out stuff — like Ser Meryn Trant doesn't mention what Joffrey was doing when Tyrion defied him in the throne room, and Cersei leaves out why Tyrion vowed to turn her joy to ashes. But a truly skilled player would find ways to get back at people without getting caught, while putting on a smiling face in public.

Tyrion's speech transcribed:
All the characters' reactions to Tyrion demanding a trial by combat:
Tyrion and Varys at the trial:
Theme: One stands before three.
After reeling from the incredible acting of last Sunday's episode, I noticed a really interesting symmetry in the show's major scenes (discounting Theon/Ramsay):
One character is brought before a panel of three to plead his case and seek resolution. When you get down to the dynamics of power between the one against three, you can see that each scene is actually one against one - the two other "panelists" are really just flanking the decision maker.
The first scene is with Ser Davos before the Iron Bank. Tycho Nestoris is flanked by two other "stones in the temple," as Tywin calls them. Ser Davos presents his case for funding Stannis and is initially getting nowhere. He is forced to play his trump card by literally showing his hand to the bankers, effectively convincing them that they should make the loan. Ser Davos is successful.
Screenshots: One before three, Davos plays his hand.
The next scene is Hizdahr zo Loraq before Daenerys, flanked by Ser Jorah and Ser Barristan. Hizdahr presents his case for letting him bury his father, and is initially getting nowhere. He is forced to get on his knees, bow down to the conquerer, and beg Daenerys to respect their sacred funeral rights. She relents, and Hizdahr is successful.
Screenshots: One before three, another perspective, Hizdahr begs on his knees
The final scene presents Tyrion before Tywin Lannister, flanked by Prince Oberyn and Lord Mace Tyrell. Unlike the total silence of the bankers and Daenerys's Queensguard, Oberyn and Mace occasionally lend their voices to the back and forth of the case. It's obvious, however, that Tywin wields the real power on the dais. Tyrion "presents" his case for his innocence in regicide, and definitely gets nowhere. He is forced into anger, and realizing he will not find justice in the kangaroo court, must to play his hand and demand trial by combat. Tywin cannot deny him, so he (in a sense) is successful.
Screenshots: One before three, Tywin flanked, Tyrion makes his demand
Although obviously all under different circumstances, the similarities in scene structure, pacing, and direction beautifully parallel each other.
One quick note I'd like to make: I suppose you could arguably say that the presence of Stannis would buff Ser Davos, therefore making their scene closer to two before three. I don't feel like Stannis really did much, though, especially when it came to getting down to iron tacks. However, if you include Stannis, then perhaps it's fair to compare his role to Jaime alongside Tyrion, and whoever that dude is that stands behind Hizdahr.
Although the acting (rightfully) stole the show, I think the writing and direction of this episode also deserves its fair share of recognition.

Law-abiding Americans on both sides of the abortion debate were horrified when George Tiller was shot dead outside his church. They should be equally disturbed should anti-abortion extremist Scott Roeder be allowed to present a voluntary manslaughter defence at his trial for the crime. Should this decision stand, the defendant can avoid a murder conviction if he proves he had "an unreasonable but honest belief that circumstances existed that justified deadly force".
Allowing this defence significantly increases the threat to other abortion providers. It also has disturbing implications for the prosecution of a wide range of suspects – from animal rights extremists to al-Qa'ida terrorists.
Judge Warren Wilbert had already rejected efforts by Roeder to plead "necessity", a legal argument that would have excused his acts if he could establish that they were required to save the lives of unborn children. In doing so, Wilbert cited a Kansas Supreme Court ruling in another case, which warned that allowing the necessity defence in abortion cases would "not only lead to chaos, but would be tantamount to sanctioning anarchy". Now, by ruling that Roeder may plead what amounts to "guilty with a good explanation", Wilbert has sanctioned precisely such anarchy.
A murder conviction will likely place Roeder in prison for life. In contrast, a manslaughter conviction would lead to a roughly five-year sentence. For those extremists who believe that they are killing to save innocent babies, losing five years of freedom may appear trivial. In short, Wilbert's ruling lowers the bar to violence.
The decision has implications far beyond abortion. The militants who flew jetliners into the World Trade Centre presumably also believed their actions justified, as does the Animal Liberation Front when it murders researchers to save monkeys. By this approach, trials about violence would become public hearings on abortion or foreign policy or research ethics.
Trial judges in the US have two goals: to serve justice and to avoid being overturned by an appellate court. Most likely, Judge Wilbert has given Roeder's defence team considerable latitude at present so that Roeder will have fewer grounds for appeal if convicted. As a method of trial management, that makes practical sense. Unfortunately, this approach threatens to transform the trial of Scott Roeder into a hearing on abortion and even a broad exploration of American social values, a subject for which an obscure Kansas courtroom is poorly suited.
