Staying safe while buying and selling online
23 December 2013 , 12:15 PM by Sally Rope
You may have noticed a story in the paper yesterday about a spate of boat thefts in Brisbane. There's been a couple of instances of people wanting to sell their boats online, and advertising on the popular website Gumtree. The prospective buyer makes a time to meet, gets the address then cancels - and then the boat disappears. These days, selling your unwanted stuff online is becoming increasingly popular... so what kind of steps can we take to ensure we don't get taken for a ride?
Brett Lee is a former policeman who now runs a business providing Internet Safety and Cyberbullying Presentations for Schools, and Community Organisations...

A group of Las Vegas insiders took a $22 million down payment from the Utahn at the center of a giant Ponzi scheme, stymied his development efforts and then foreclosed on the property when he failed to make payments, a new lawsuit contends.
The group, which includes Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman, knew or should have known that Val E. Southwick could not pay $125.5 million for the property in an industrial park north of Las Vegas for which they had paid less than $6 million, according to the lawsuit filed by Salt Lake City attorney Robert Wing.
"We need to prove that they took consideration from VesCor in the situation where they did not give reasonable equivalent value for it or they did not take it in good faith," Wing said.
Wing is the court appointed receiver for Southwick's web of more than 150 companies generally known as VesCor that owe 800 or so investors at least $180 million and that overall had about $450 million in debt when it filed for bankruptcy in 2007.
Wing is charged with recovering as much money as possible. Southwick is in prison serving nine consecutive 1-to-15 years terms on his guilty pleas to fraud.
The lawsuit --- one of many filed in the case -- is based on report by Miami attorney Lewis Freeman, the trustee of a VesCor bankruptcy in Nevada, in which he suggested that Southwick and VesCor might be "scammers that [were] scammed" by the Vegas group.
By the time the Vegas companies owned by Goodman and others sold the property to Southwick, he already had been sanctioned three times by securities officials in Utah and Nevada. In addition, he had a long history of being sued over soured deals. After 2004, Southwick was prohibited from selling investments in Utah.
If known to the sellers, those facts -- easily obtained by phone calls to regulators or through public records -- could have established that Southwick was not a suitable buyer.
"Discovery is going to need to take place before we know all the details but I think there were some things that maybe they should have known," said Wing.
Goodman declined comment, saying through a spokesman that he had not seen the lawsuit. Attorneys for the Las Vegas companies, Apex Holding Co. and Apex Utility Holding Co., did not return a phone call and e-mails seeking comment.
In a court filing in Nevada, Freeman said the Apex property originally had been purchased from Clark County by the group that included Goodman, paving contractors, a casino owner, construction company owners and an attorney. They paid $9 million for 10,000 acres in 1999 and reportedly spent another $9 million for engineering, legal work and environmental studies.
The group sold 4,000 of those acres for $40 million, already doubling their money by selling only 40 percent of the property. They then sold the remaining nearly 6,000 acres for $125.5 million to Southwick.
Freeman suggested that Apex investors sold the land to Southwick knowing they would keep the $22 million down payment and get the land back too. In fact, Apex did foreclose on the properties.
Wing also contends that in 2006, Apex manager David M. Carver interfered with Southwick's attempt to develop the property.
Asked whether Apex could be a large source of returned cash, Wing said, "I view it as a very significant claim."

Workstation Combines Bookshelf And A Computer
A Dutch studio's compact design combines analog and digital workspaces in a streamlined structure.
The 'Cabinet Chair' by Dutch design studio Oppewal combines two necessary components of an office space, namely bookshelves and a computer workstation, in one sleek design. Intended for use in tight spaces such as a small apartment, hotel, library, or airport, the piece includes a chair, built-in monitor, and keyboard, along with the bookshelves.
The practicality of the design is questionable as it would be difficult to update the technology with the built-in computer, but the design certainly provides an inspiring example of an adaptation for compact living. The piece also serves as an example of combining analog and digital media in one small space.
The design studio's namesake, Christiaan Oppewal, typically works with upcycled wood to create tables.

Vincenzo Montella's men travel to Milan on Sunday with the hosts desperate for victory following four consecutive defeats in Serie A, but the visitors could draw level on points
Julio Cesar
Faraoni, Lucio, Samuel, Nagatomo
Zanetti, Stankovic, Cambiasso
Forlan, Milito
Motta, Spolli, Legrottaglie, Marchese
Seymour, Lodi, Almiron
Barrientos, Bergessio, Gomez
Claudio Ranieri's side have a few injury concerns going into Sunday's clash, with Andrea Ranocchia and Ricardo Alvarez ruled out with thigh and muscle strains respectively, while Freddy Guarin is still nursing the calf injury that has plagued him since signing from Porto in January.
However, the hosts could be boosted by the return of Maicon after the Brazil international returned to training following a knee injury. Although he is unlikely to start the tie, the former Monaco man may well feature from the bench.
The visitors will travel to Milan without the services of Alessandro Potenza, with the former Fiorentina defender ruled out for the rest of the season with a cruciate ligament injury, while Andrea Campagnolo and David Suazo will also miss out.
- Inter have lost five of their last six league matches.
- The Nerazzurri have drawn the least amount of games of any club in Serie A this term (three).
- The hosts have both scored and conceded 34 times this season.
- Ranieri's men have not won in Serie A since the 2-1 victory over Lazio back in January.
- Catania have won exactly a third of their league games this campaign (eight).
- The visitors have only failed to score in one of their last 11 league encounters.
- Montella's side have lost three of their last four away games in Serie A.

The cartridge is most likely a .38 S&W, which is substantially identical to the .38 Colt New Police, and the British .38/200.
In Europe and South America it is also called the .380 Rim and .38 S&W Corto.
It is a very old cartridge, being introduced in 1877.
It has been used in dozens of models of S&W, Colt, Webley, and Enfield revolvers.
It is documented in Wikipedia at:
According to Wikipedia:
The .38 S&W is a revolver cartridge developed by Smith & Wesson in 1877. Though similar in name, it is not interchangeable with the later .38 Smith and Wesson Special due to a different case shape and slightly larger bullet diameter.
The British military adopted a loading of this cartridge as the Cartridge, S.A., Revolver Ball, 380 in, MkI .38-200, with the "200" referring to the weight of the bullet in grains. In 1937, this cartridge was replaced in British Service by the Cartridge, S.A., Revolver Ball, 380 in, MkII. The main difference between it and the previous round was* that it had a 178 gn. FMJ bullet.
U.S. Variants
The .38 Colt New Police was Colt's Manufacturing Company's proprietary name for what was essentially the .38 S&W with a flat-nosed bullet.
The U.S. .38 S&W Super Police cartridge was nearly identical to the British .38/200 Mk I, using a 200 grain (13 g) lead alloy bullet with a muzzle velocity of 630 ft/s (189 m/s) and a muzzle energy of 176 ft·lbf (239 J), and was supplied by several U.S. manufacturers to the British government as equivalent to the Mk I loading.
The .38 S&W is also called the .380 Rim and .38 S&W Corto.
I have several .38 S&W handguns, including a Smith Victory model, and an Enfield which are a lot of fun to shoot.
Ammo is still manufactured, and old and surplus .38 S&W smmo in its various iterations can sometimes be found at bargain prices.

We took the short-cut by way of Mbabane and made good time, the roads being fairly hard.
All strangers are advised to see Matt's nose or count their visit to Mbabane a rank failure.
He is now about sixty-five years old, and no visit to Mbabane is complete without at least one cup of tea with him and his wife.
His salads are famous, so that his few friends in Mbabane often make the hard trek to his little home to share one of them.
Probably the most interesting character in Mbabane is known to every one as "Matt."
The night of the second day saw us camped at the foot of the mountain that leads to the village of Mbabane.
All the white residents of Mbabane treated us with the greatest kindness and hospitality.
I shall notify the government at Mbabane and ask that it collect the money value of what you received from me.
Mbabane is the new capital of Swaziland and was founded in 1904.
We arrived at Mbabane on the evening of the second day, having made better than twenty miles a day.
Kingdom in southeastern Africa, bordered by South Africa to the south, west, and north, and Mozambique to the east.
Note: In 1903, Swaziland became a British territory. It became fully independent in 1968.
Note: The Swazi people resisted Afrikaner demands for incorporation into South Africa. After the collapse of apartheid, Swaziland established diplomatic relations with South Africa.

Interview with Barrie Bergman, Founder of Bare Escentuals & The Record Bar, Author of Nice Guys Finish First.
Written by Damir Perge, edited by Jana Arnold, Entrepreneurdex
As a venture capitalist, I've met a lot of entrepreneurs but never one as funny as Barrie Bergman. We've all met people who remind us of someone we've seen before. I can surely say Barrie is the "Rodney Dangerfield" of entrepreneurs. Rodney Dangerfield was one of my heroes. I never got to see him live and I regret it. However, during my interview with Barrie, there were a few times I thought my stomach was going to pop from laughter.
Barrie is the "American Dream" come to fruition. With his success in two ventures, he's laughed all the way to the bank more than once. He wrote a book called Nice Guys Finish First. I've always believed in that concept, but when you hear Barrie speak you know being nice pays off handsomely.
"I came from a long history of entrepreneurship," Barrie told me. "My grandparents were Russian immigrants, my parents, my wife and I are all entrepreneurs." When Barrie was in high school he started managing a band and from that point, he said, "I knew I'd always work for myself." Most great entrepreneurs can't work for other people. Barry explained, "I thought about working for a major music label in New York but didn't think that would work out very well." It's a good thing Barrie chose a different route in the music business.
Barrie began working with his father at the family record store in North Carolina in 1963. Later, his parents had a store in Durham and he and his wife had a store in Chapel Hill. After building the business to eight stores, Barrie's father decided he was ready to get out of the music retail business and it was up to Barrie to run it, manage and operate it. Barrie took over and grew the business, The Record Bar, into a 180-store national chain.
Behind every great entrepreneur there is a great woman.
Barrie didn't do it alone either. His wife Arlene is his partner. "I've been married 45 years – my wife was always my partner. We're best friends and work is a natural extension of that. We worked out the rules of how it would work so it didn't make us absolutely crazy," he said.
They took the time to develop a culture that could scale. "Our idea was that it was always a family – we created a culture where spouses were a part of the business." We didn't want the spouses to resent the time their husband or wife spent working with us.
Like all great entrepreneurs, they sold the business at the right time. Today, record stores are a very tough business and they had the vision and foresight to sell it in 1989.
Barrie makes it clear that being a nice guy – or having ethics are critical to any entrepreneur's success. He proved it during his days in the music business by turning down merchandise that was likely stolen (it was coming from the grey market) and refusing to make a huge profit. Barrie said, "It's important to be able to look at yourself in the mirror and like who you see." Every entrepreneur should make that a point. "I was nice to my employees, my customers and I felt good about myself at the end of the day," he said.

After cashing out of the music retail business, Barrie ran a record label for a while. Then a friend of his, John Hansen, a Harvard business school guy, wanted to do something in the San Francisco Bay Area and they founded Bare Escentuals Beauty, a premier brand of all-natural cosmetics and skin care products. In the cosmetics business, unlike the retail music business, the cost of the product is 28% so that peaked Barrie's interest. "I can sell anything, " Barrie said. "Selling stuff is selling stuff, and running a company is running a company." continued

Hi to all,
I would like to know how to calculate the numerical Fourier transform
for a function of two variables.
For instance, the following one:
NFourierTransform[Exp[-(x^2+y^2)],{x,y}, {u,v}].
The FourierTransform works fine and returns the right result, for that
Is it possible, in other general cases, to use the numerical
NFourierTransform on functions of two or more variables ?
Are there packages solving this problem ?
Thank you in advance.

Achieving optimal blood glucose control is the cornerstone of the management of T2DM as this reduces the likelihood of diabetes complications such as heart disease, stroke, retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy[ii]. There is established consensus on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) as a target for reducing a patient's HbA1c. However, growing evidence supports the importance of also reducing PPG for achieving ideal HbA1c levels and reducing cardiovascular disease risk for certain groups of patientsii,[iii],[iv],[v].
In a recent study, a significant proportion (40%) of patients with T2DM treated with basal insulin and oral antidiabetic drug (OAD) therapy achieved FPG but not HbA1c targetsiv. This implies that PPG may be under-recognised and under-treated as a contributing factor to overall blood glucose control. As a result of this, these patients need additional treatments that control postprandial peaks, in addition to basal insulin, in order to achieve their HbA1c goal. The evidence suggests that whilst FPG is a key focus in the initial management of those with poor glycaemic control, PPG should also be targeted for optimal glycaemic control[vi].
This concept is supported by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Guideline for the Management of Postmeal Glucose, which outlines in detail the significant risk posed by postprandial hyperglycaemiaii.
This latest survey, conducted with over 300 diabetes specialists (100 endocrinologists, 100 diabetologists and 100 diabetes specialist nurses)i, was commissioned in light of the ongoing debate amongst healthcare professionals regarding the role of PPG (the term used to define plasma glucose concentrations after eating[vii]) in the overall management of T2DM.
Nearly all respondents (97%) stated that tighter overall glycaemic control is important in the management of T2DM, with 99% appreciating that it achieves better outcomes for patientsi. Three quarters (75%) of those surveyed suggest that monitoring of PPG levels should be introduced into diabetes clinicsi.
Dr Mike Baxter, Consultant Diabetologist and Endocrinologist at the Runnymede Hospital and Consultant Advisor at Sanofi Diabetes said: "The results of this survey support the growing body of evidence highlighting the importance of controlling PPG levels as a key part of the management of some patients with Type 2 diabetes, particularly those in whom intensive diabetic control has been highlighted as a priority in their individualised care plan."
Six in 10 (60%) diabetes specialists surveyed state they are unaware of any guidelines relating to the monitoring of PPG as part of the management of T2DMi. The findings call for an improvement in the awareness of guidance relating to the monitoring of PPG as part of the overall management of the conditioni.
Professor David Owens, Emeritus Professor at Cardiff University, Institute of Molecular and Experimental Medicine, who was member of the IDF Guideline Development Group commented: "Whilst there is certainly a growing awareness of the importance of measuring PPG amongst healthcare professionals, it is clear that there needs to be more awareness and uptake of the recent IDF Guideline for the Management of Postmeal Glucose (2011) as well as the development of a UK specific version of the guideline. We also need to ensure that persons with diabetes are educated about PPG self-monitoring and recognise its importance as part of the routine management of their condition."
The results of this survey coincide with positive new data on lixisenatide announced by Sanofi at the EASD Annual Meeting 2012. The study found that once-daily lixisenatide injected subcutaneously in the morning significantly delayed gastric emptying, with a significant impact on PPG and blood glucose levels throughout the day, contributing to overall glycaemic control[viii].
The 28-day, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study in patients with T2DM (lixisenatide n=19; placebo n=22) demonstrated that a final dose of once-daily 20 μg lixisenatide in the morning (after titrating from 5-20 μg with 2.5 μg increments every 4 days), in addition to up to two oral anti-diabetic agents, had a significant delay on the rate of gastric emptying compared with placebo, which improved the blood glucose levels throughout the day8. At day 28, PPG was significantly reduced after a standardised breakfast (p<0.0001), after lunch (p=0.0004) and after dinner (p=0.0082) viii. No such relationship was found for placeboviii.
About the research
The survey was conducted by research agency Medefield and funded by Sanofi. The research surveyed 300 healthcare professionals specialising in diabetes. The sample was broken down in to 100 diabetes specialist nurses, 100 diabetologists and 100 endocrinologistsi. The survey questioned the diabetes specialists on their awareness of the role of PPG in the management of T2DM.
About Lyxumia® (lixisenatide)
Lixisenatide*, a glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist (GLP-1), is in development for the treatment of patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)[ix]. Lixisenatide was in-licensed from Zealand Pharma A/S (Copenhagen, Denmark), www.zealandpharma.com. Lyxumia® is the intended trademark of lixisenatide. Lixisenatide is not currently approved or licensed anywhere in the world.
GLP-1 is a naturally-occurring peptide that is released within minutes of eating a meal. It is known to suppress glucagon secretion from pancreatic alpha cells and stimulate insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells[x]. GLP-1 receptor agonists are in development as an add-on treatment for T2DM and their use is endorsed by the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, the American Diabetes Association, the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists and the American College of Endocrinology[xi].
About glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c)
Until recently, the predominant focus of therapy in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been on lowering HbA1c levels, with a strong emphasis on fasting plasma glucose (FPG). HbA1c occurs when glucose joins with haemoglobin in the red blood cell. When glucose sticks to the haemoglobin molecules it forms a glycated haemoglobin molecule, known as glycated HbA1c. The more glucose found in the blood the more glycated HbA1c will be present. By measuring glycated HbA1c, an average blood glucose reading can be returned due to the fact that red blood cells can survive for 8-12 weeks before being replaced in the circulation[xii]. HbA1c levels are often influenced by 2 factors - a patient's fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and their postprandial glucose (PPG)[xiii].
About postprandial plasma glucose (PPG)
PPG is the term used to define plasma glucose concentrations after eatingviii. This number is highly variable and depends on what has been eaten. If a meal is eaten that is high in carbohydrate, blood sugars will go up quickly and come down rapidly. If a meal is high in protein and relatively low in carbohydrate, then blood sugars tend to rise more slowly and to a lower peak level, before gradually decreasing. This is especially important in T2DM which develops when the body does not produce enough insulin to maintain a normal blood glucose level, or when the body is unable to effectively use the insulin that is being produced[xiv].
A patient's PPG profile is determined by carbohydrate absorption, insulin and glucagon secretion, and their coordinated effects on glucose metabolism in the liver and peripheral tissuesvii.

Congressman Tim Griffin (AR-02) released the following statement in announcing his digital media push in honor of our Founding Fathers in the lead up to Fathers' Day:
"With Father's Day around the corner, it got me thinking about the guidance dads provide, and in light of the recent news from Washington -- from the NSA's objectionable collection of phone records to the IRS's targeting of individuals based on religious and political beliefs -- I was reminded of the wisdom of our Founding Fathers. Their words are as relevant today as they were two centuries ago. As Americans, we should celebrate "Founding Fathers' Day' and never forget them."
Griffin is pushing important quotes from various leaders of the American Revolution on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. These quotes are particularly timely, given the recent debate on what is the appropriate balance between liberty and security. Using the hash tag #FoundingFathersDay, Griffin offers the Founders' words to showcase the concerns they had about an overly-powerful federal government.
Griffin has been an outspoken critic of the federal government seizing the phone records of millions of innocent Americans.

|Rosemary and Calabrian bean plants take over the front yard at the home of Louis Marchesano and
Lisa Anne Auerbach, Summer 2010.
1. What is your favorite food to eat? Why?
You know I am of Italian descent and I hate to carry on the stereoptypes which is why I am not going to say Pizza. Figs. They are ripening just now and I love to get up in the morning, go outside, pick figs, eat them, close my eyes and think of Calabria and my father who would go to farms and steal as many as he could from orchards, usually those owned by his father. I have green Genoas in the front garden and a dark variety in the back.
2. What is your favorite food to cook? Why?
You know I'm of Italian descent.... Tadgiareii (or Tagliatelle). This evening I made this pasta from scratch (1 egg for 1 cup of flour; pinch salt, dab olive oil) with a simple sauce of tomatoes from my garden. This pasta is delicate and silky. There's a lot of dry flour (to keep it from sticking) so when you drop the little bundles of pasta into the boiling water they dissappear for a moment under whirlpools of starch and then, Presto, the broad but thin strands float to the surface ready to eat in a moment. A week after I met Lisa Auerbach, we made this pasta together and, Presto!, a year later we got hitched...
3. Who or what is your greatest culinary influence? Why is he/she/it an inspiration?
You know I'm of Italian descent and I really hate the idea of living the stereotype, but I have to say it's my mother, who is alive and well near Toronto. It really is. She never made a hollywood production out of preparing the food, at least not in the same way that I do. When I make tadgiareii (see 2 above) I expect Lisa or you or anyone to go ape nuts and if things like polite conversation get in the way of focusing on the food I always insist on changing the topic. The other thing that Maria is really good at is throwing stuff together. For homemade pasta (1. above), I never saw Maria measure anything. I'm not sure she owns a measuring spoon or cup, come to think of it.
4. What is your favorite kitchen utensil? Why?
The fork.
5. What did you eat for dinner this past Sunday?
See 2 above. We also had a green salad with green and red leaf lettuces and deer tongue lettuce. A tomatoe salad with fresh calabrian pepper, parsely, garlic.
6. When you were growing up, did you eat Sunday dinner or another meal that brought friends and family together on a regular basis? If so, what you you eat?
Yes. It was usually a roast beef of some sort with mashed potatoes, peas, and believe it or not white sliced bread (which we all thought was really exotic and a good gesture to show the world that we had assimilated). My father is a meat wholesaler, so the roasts we ate had been aging in the cooler for about 3 weeks, which made them as tender as an angel's bum.
7. Do you have a garden? If so, what do you grow in it?
I have two, one of which is featured in Fritz Haeg's Edible Estates (see the double-page spread in full colour in the second edition). Figs (see 1 above). Tomatoes of various varieties including something called an Old German; Pippi alla udia (aka. Calabrian pepper); Vaianneii (settembrai): a calabrian bean that can be eaten as a kind of broad bean or as a seed; parsley and basil and cilantro and oregano. I have a lot of native plants to attract beneficial insects which means that I am a yuppie.
8. What is your ultimate food fantasy?
Not to have to sweat when I think about smuggling homemade salami into the country. This fantasy has come true because you can now bring cured meats into the USA and it's all legal like.
9. If you could choose to have any person living or dead prepare a meal for you, who would it be? What would you want to eat?
Susan, you know I am of Italian descent and you know my answer (see three above).
10. Fill in the blank: "The most important element of a good meal is ______."
Homemade Lisa-- a fabulous cook of all food Italian, like Kale and Potatoes, bean dishes of all sorts, bread and pane duro (a calabrian hard bread) and much much more.

Gravity Group Astrophysics/Cosmology Seminar, "Eccentric black hole-neutron star mergers"(More about event)
Abstract: There is a high level of interest in black hole-neutron star binaries, not only because their mergers may be detected by gravitational wave observatories in the coming years, but also because of the possibility that they could explain a class of short duration gamma-ray bursts. My talk will focus on black hole-neutron star mergers that occur with high eccentricity as may arise from dynamical capture in dense stellar regions such as nuclear or globular clusters. I will present results from general relativistic simulations of binaries with a range of impact parameters, different initial black hole spins, and neutron stars with different equations of state. There is a rich diversity across these parameters in the resulting gravitational wave signals and matter dynamics, which should also be reflected in the consequent electromagnetic emission.

Santana and Pelfrey Picked The Wrong Weekend To Be BadMay 3, 2010
3 Responses to Santana and Pelfrey Picked The Wrong Weekend To Be Bad
Hey Cooper my nane is rich im big time a phillies fan big time mets hater but im not on here to talk trash . But i have to say i was a little concern about the weekand series with you guys we had kendrick and moyer picthing how in the word did santana lose to moyer? I know we have one of top 3 line ups in baseball. Al though im very happy the way thing turn out the way they did but i have to say we was very lucky sunday nigth santana stuff was not there.
Hi Rich – thanks for the comments. I think we are all shocked at Santana's performance last night. I don't think there is any excuse for it except he just had a REALLY bad night and didn't have any of his pitches. The Mets offense gave him a 3-0 lead, then a 5-2 lead and he gave them both back. I'll be closely watching his next start to see if he corrects his issues. I was really looking forward to the weekend series but if you think about it, it really wasn't a good series. All three games were blowouts.
Ture maybe the series up there on the 25th will be more exciting although i love for my team to win i but appreciate compatitive baseball. But right now st louis next us. talk to you then

This summer we fulfilled a life-long dream (at least for some of us) and visited the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. This is the largest single-dish radiotelescope in the world. The reflector is 305 m (1,000 ft) in diameter – a tad bit larger than our home-brewed radiotelescope. The Arecibo system is a semi-transit telescope
Great Time at US Science & Engineering Festival in Washington DC

Nobody likes a whiner.
So I won't start off this week's "Couch Potato Report" whining about why there wasn't a "C.P.R." last week. I won't tell you that my awkwardly big feet kicked the switch of my surge protector underneath my computer, powering down my PC and leaving my unsaved, nearly completed article left as just a figment of my imagination. I won't whine about that though. I'll just give you some words to live by… every few minutes, CLICK SAVE. You can't click "save" too often… it'll save you from swearing at an inanimate object like your computer.
But this week, I'm back in business. I have tied my feet up (stop thinking naughty thoughts over there, you dirty birds), to get them out of the way, and I'm here this week to make up for lost time. Normally each week, the weekly "Couch Potato Report" offers up five mouth-watering suggestions for your sports viewing pleasure. But this week, in an effort to win back my loyal audience (crickets chirping), I'm ready to double your pleasure and double your fun, with ten… count 'em, TEN… TV picks for the upcoming weekend.
So enough jibber jabber. Let's dive in head first to this week's supersized edition of "The Couch Potato Report," C.P.R. for your sports-lovin' hearts.
Friday & Saturday @ 7pm on NESN, Sunday @ 8pm on ESPN
You watch these pivotal games if you still are holding out hope that the banged-up Sox still have a shot at earning a playoff spot. What better way to catch the team you're chasing than to sweep them yourselves. With a 5 ½ game deficit to make up in the final five weeks of the season, your BoSox need all the help they can get in order to catch the Rays or Yanks for the division or wild card spot. The pitching for the Sox lines up well for this series, with Jon Lester on the hill Friday night, legitimate Cy Young candidate Clay Buchholz pitching Saturday, and John Lackey throwing Sunday, who is coming off one of his better starts in a Red Sox uniform. Whether the offense can put up enough runs to deliver some victories remains to be seen, but the time is now for the Sox to make or break their season down in Tampa. On a side note, what's the over/under on the amount of times the catwalks are hit in this series? Bet high, my friends.
Friday at 3pm on Golf Channel, Saturday at 1pm on GC and 3pm on CBS, and Sunday at 12pm on GC and 2pm on CBS
Tiger Woods is a new man, after his divorce became finalized this past week. What's he do to celebrate? He comes out on Thursday and shoots his best round of golf this year, with a 6-under 65, tying him for the opening round lead with Vaughn Taylor. Woods, who came into this tournament at the bottom of the rankings for the FedEx Cup, needs a strong showing this weekend to even qualify for next week's Deutsche Bank Championship event at TPC Boston, down in Norton. The best of the best in the game of golf are all taking their hacks in this tournament… well, except Jim Furyk, who was disqualified after oversleeping Wednesday morning, causing him to miss his tee time for the Pro-Am tournament. Pretty bogus rule if you ask me, but that's just me being bitter because he's on my fantasy golf team. (Yes, there is such a thing as fantasy golf.)
Saturday at 1 & 4pm, Sunday at 3pm, all on ABC
The annual Little League World Series wraps up this weekend in Williamsport, PA. The International Final kicks things off in Saturday's early game, with Chinese Taipei taking on Japan for the world's crown. The U.S. championship will follow that, with the kids from Pearland, Texas taking on the winner of Friday's Pool A final, featuring Columbus, Georgia and Waipahu, Hawaii. Then on Sunday, the International champ will face off against the U.S. winner for all the marbles. So if you're not weirded out by watching pre-teen boys run around and sweat in tight baseball pants, with the possibility of them crying at the end when they lose, tune in! (Sorry, did I just ruin this for you???)
Friday & Saturday @ 8pm on CBS, Sunday @ 8pm on FOX
Because they say that the third game of the preseason schedule is supposed to be meaningful, that's why! And, you fantasy geeks will want to check out who blows a hammy or tears a knee before you look like a dunce drafting the guy for your fantasy team. Friday's action includes the defending champion Saints hosting hot rookie Ryan Mathews and the Chargers. Saturday night, you can check out Tony Romo and the Cowboys take on Andre Johnson and the Texans in a Lonestar State battle. Then on Sunday over on FOX, take a gander at young RBs Rashard Mendenhall and Knowshon Moreno, with the Steelers facing the Broncos.
Seemingly all weekend long, on ESPN & ESPN2
I'm not sure why, to be honest. But if you look at ESPN's programming schedule for the weekend, it's got high school football all over it. Friday night on ESPN, start your night off with a Floridian battle, with Plant H.S. going up against Manatee H.S. At 10pm, switch over to ESPN2 for a west coast bout between Folsom, CA and Grant, CA, who features top prospect, DT Viliami Moala. Saturday at noon on ESPN, watch Byrnes, SC take on Hoover, AL, the school that was featured in MTV's reality show, "Two-A-Days." Saturday night at 7pm, you can check out two Texas powerhouses, with Steele taking on Madison. Then on Sunday, watch an interstate battle in Cincinnati, when St. Xavier, OH hosts Good Counsel, MD, at 3pm. Now, I know a lot of parents out there who dread having to sit through their own kids' games… so unless you're a scout or just a diehard fan of the game who can be entertained with a football game at any level, I'm not entirely sure why high school football is taking center stage this weekend. But hey, if it's your thing… eat it up.
Saturday night @ 10pm on Pay-Per-View
For the first time ever, UFC is coming to Boston! Saturday night at the TD Garden is the place, as Causeway Street will turn into MMA fan heaven. The main event of UFC 118 features a rematch between former champ B.J. Penn and current champ Frankie Edgar, who will duke it out for the lightweight championship. Other matches include Randy Couture taking on James Toney, and Kenny Florian going up against Gray Maynard. Now I'll be the first one to tell you that I personally just haven't gotten on the UFC bandwagon yet. But there's no doubt that the excitement of the sport coming to the Boston area is at a super high level. If you can't splurge for the fights on Pay-Per-View, and you aren't lucky enough to have a ticket to Garden to see it live, grab a few of your meathead friends and hit your local sports bar, or better yet, check out the fights at a bar over near the Garden, so you can feel the energy of the atmosphere. Just don't get cauliflower ear like the fighters get… that'll just make you look goofy.
U.S. games on Saturday @ 12pm on ESPN Classic and Sunday @ 9:30am on ESPN2
I'm not sure many sports fans are all that interested in this thing, but nonetheless, for those of you who are, the FIBA World Championships start their pool play this weekend, and the Rajon Rondo-less U.S. team starts out with a game against Croatia Saturday afternoon from Istanbul, Turkey. Their second game of the weekend will be Sunday morning against Slovenia. Beyond Kevin Durant and Derrick Rose, I'm not all that impressed with the talent the U.S. team is trotting out there this time around. That doesn't mean I don't expect the Americans to fare well in this tournament, that just means I probably won't watch a minute of it.
Saturday at 1 & 3pm, Sunday at 8pm, on ESPN2
Speaking of meaningless basketball I won't watch, the WNBA playoffs have begun… but I'm sure I didn't need to tell you that, right? Sports fans everywhere have been glued to their screens all season long, and now it all comes down to this… you can cut the tension with a knife during these high energy playoff games. Dunks? No, you won't see those. Girls? Yeah, you'll see those… but don't expect to see any bombshells running up and down the court. But if you are still reading this part of the article and really do want to know what's on tap for WNBA playoff action this weekend, tune in Saturday for a doubleheader of Western Conference semifinal action with a pair of Game 2s. In the 1:00 game, Phoenix takes on San Antonio, followed by a 4pm duel between Seattle and Los Angeles. Sunday night, if necessary, the Eastern Conference will take center stage, with a potential deciding Game 3 featuring New York and Indiana. Ok ladies, you got your time in the spotlight… now back to dude stuff.
Semifinals Friday on ESPN2 at 12pm & 7pm, Women's Championship at 1pm Saturday on CBS, Men's Championship at 7pm Saturday on ESPN2
Did I say "back to dude stuff?" Ok, maybe not quite yet. Tennis? Hey, I said I'd have extra picks for you this week, but I never said anything about how good they'd be. It's "quantity over quality" week here at the C.P.R. Anyway, for you tennis enthusiasts out there, you can tune in this weekend to the Pilot Pen tournament from New Haven, CT. Now don't "write" this tournament off (pun intended). This isn't a major tennis tournament like Wimbledon, but there still are some big names serving up some entertaining tennis. Names like… Sergiy Stakhovsky? Thiemo de Bakker? Alright, maybe not. But the U.S. Open starts Monday, so just sit tight and get through this silly little tournament first.
Saturday night at 7:30pm on Comcast SportsNet
Because the season's almost over, and I really haven't thrown the Revs a bone yet. So here it is, here's their bone. Watch them. They're not very good, but still, give them a shot. And heck, it's always sweet to beat a team from Philly at anything, even if it's just MLS soccer.
Sunday night at 8pm on NBC
It wouldn't have been right for me to write an article about television without making any mention of this weekend's Emmy awards. I wouldn't be a good TV critic if I ignored them… if I can even consider myself a TV critic. Anyway, the actual award show starts at 8pm Sunday night, but you can tune in to E! pretty much all afternoon for their silly red carpet coverage. Hey, some people's lives aren't complete if they don't see January Jones in an expensive dress or Alec Baldwin acting all successful compared to his brothers. But like so many of these award shows, they're not entertaining unless you place some wagers on them. Hey, it's a competition after all, so why not bet, right? My money's on "Mad Men" and "30 Rock" to win the night… you heard it here first! No, you've probably read that everywhere by now… but I'm on their bandwagon too!

Giant Olympic rings were hung from Tower Bridge today — signifying one month to go until the Games begin.
London Mayor Boris Johnson and Games chief Seb Coe clasped hands on a Thames barge as the hoops were lowered into position.
As preparations for the opening ceremony continue, Games chiefs are focusing on "dressing" London before hundreds of thousands of visitors descend on the capital.
The rings are retractable to allow ships to pass through the bridge.
At St Pancras station today, where another set of rings has been placed, commuters were treated to a performance by the London Chamber Orchestra and 60 schoolchildren playing Track to Track — a piece inspired by the shuttle train journey to Stratford, which from today is renamed the Javelin Train for the duration of the Games.Reuse content

Schumer said the lawmakers, who are working closely with the White House and Democratic leaders, plan to introduce a bill in the coming weeks that would require new disclosure rules on corporate spending and CEO disclaimers in political ads, along with limits on foreign involvement in political advertising. They said they want the measures in place quickly to curb unrestricted corporate spending in November's midterm congressional elections.
"Today, we're beginning to pick up the pieces of campaign-finance" laws "shattered" by the high court's ruling, Schumer told reporters.
But groups supporting a bill that would publicly finance congressional elections said the proposal doesn't go far enough.
"These are good first steps but as a package they fall short of getting to the heart of the problem of money in politics," said Nick Nyhart, president and CEO of Public Campaign. "At the end of the day, these proposals still leave members of Congress dependent on money from Wall Street interests, insurance companies, and the other deep pocket interests who control Washington, D.C."
The "framework" unveiled Thursday would:
The lawmakers face several challenges. The Federal Election Commission already has announced that it would stop enforcing its rules on corporate- and union-funded political advertising to comply with the ruling.
At the same time, the measures to curb spending have attracted little Republican support. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who championed a major campaign-finance law in 2002, recently declared there was little Congress could do to respond.
Update at 4:45 p.m. ET: The folks at the Center for Competitive Politics, which favors fewer campaign restrictions, slammed the Schumer-Van Hollen proposals this afternoon.
The proposals violate constitutional rights to free speech, the group says.
"The First Amendment should not be plowed over because of an inconvenient political storm," said Bradley A. Smith, the group's chairman and a former Federal Election Commission chairman. "This is a cynical attempt to brush aside constitutional concerns because of a short-term perception of partisan gain."

The Spanish government has denied a news report that it agreed to sell a 20 per cent stake in local satellite operator Hispasat to Abertis Infraestructuras for about €200 million before the end of the year.
The report, published in local financial daily Expansion, also said the government had decided to keep a 5 per cent stake in the satellite operator, while Abertis would increase its holding in Hispasat to 66.6 per cent.
In a press release, Hispasat's Chairwoman Elena Pisonero "strongly" denied the story.

First observational test of the 'multiverse'
9 August 2011
Stephen M. Feeney, Matthew C. Johnson, Daniel J. Mortlock, Hiranya V. Peiris, First Observational Tests of Eternal Inflation, Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 071301
Stephen M. Feeney, Matthew C. Johnson, Daniel J. Mortlock, Hiranya V. Peiris, First observational tests of eternal inflation: Analysis methods and WMAP 7-year results, Phys. Rev. D 84, 043507
theory that our universe is contained inside a bubble, and that multiple
alternative universes exist inside their own bubbles – making up the 'multiverse'
– is, for the first time, being tested by physicists.
Two research papers published in Physical Review Letters and Physical Review D are the first to detail how to search for signatures of other universes. Physicists are now searching for disk-like patterns in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation - relic heat radiation left over from the Big Bang – which could provide tell-tale evidence of collisions between other universes and our own.
Many modern theories of fundamental physics predict that our universe is contained inside a bubble. In addition to our bubble, this 'multiverse' will contain others, each of which can be thought of as containing a universe. In the other 'pocket universes' the fundamental constants, and even the basic laws of nature, might be different.
Until now, nobody had been able to find a way to efficiently search for signs of bubble universe collisions - and therefore proof of the multiverse - in the CMB radiation, as the disc-like patterns in the radiation could be located anywhere in the sky. Additionally, physicists needed to be able to test whether any patterns they detected were the result of collisions or just random patterns in the noisy data.
A team of cosmologists based at UCL, Imperial College London and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics has now tackled this problem.
The team ran simulations of what the sky would look like with and without cosmic collisions and developed a ground-breaking algorithm to determine which fit better with the wealth of CMB data from NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP). They put the first observational upper limit on how many bubble collision signatures there could be in the CMB sky.
One of many dilemmas facing physicists is that humans are very good at cherry-picking patterns in the data that may just be coincidence. However, the team's algorithm is much harder to fool, imposing very strict rules on whether the data fits a pattern or whether the pattern is down to chance.
The authors stress that these first results are not conclusive enough either to rule out the multiverse or to definitively detect the imprint of a bubble collision. However, WMAP is not the last word: new data currently coming in from the European Space Agency's Planck satellite should help solve the puzzle.
Image caption: The signatures of a bubble collision at various stages in the analysis pipeline. A collision (top left) induces a temperature modulation in the CMB temperature map (top right). The 'blob' associated with the collision is identified by a large needlet response (bottom left), and the presence of an edge is highlighted by a large response from the edge detection algorithm (bottom right). In parallel with the edge-detection step, we perform a Bayesian parameter estimation and model selection analysis.

D.C. Padres Play Baseball and Promote Vocations
Priests-seminarians team takes the diamond this weekend.
| Posted 9/2/11 at 5:30 PM
WASHINGTON (CNA) — A baseball team of 11 Catholic priests and seminarians from the Archdiocese of Washington will play a team of high school and college varsity players to help promote vocations. The team's first baseman, Father Larry Young, can't wait for the game.
"We're going to start something where we can play three games a year around the archdiocese. This is a forum to promote vocations to the priesthood in a fresh, different way," said Father Young, the pastor of Our Lady's Church in Leonardtown, Md.
Many of the players have experience in college or high-school baseball.
"There's talent among the seminarians and the priests. I think we've got a good team," the priest said.
The team, named the D.C. Padres, has a roster of five priests and six seminarians. Their first game is scheduled for 4:30pm Sunday, Sept. 4, at Bowie Baysox Stadium in Bowie, Md. Tickets to the 2pm Sept. 4 Baysox game will serve as admittance to the later D.C. Padres game. The team is also offering discounted tickets through the parish office at Our Lady's Church.
The Catholic community is rallying around the D.C. Padres. One parishioner at Our Lady's Church ordered the shirts and hats for the men, while St. Mary's Ryken High school is lending the team their equipment.
During the game's "third-inning stretch," the team will talk to the crowd about the gift of the priesthood. They will invite young men to pray and consider whether God is calling them to follow him as priests.
Almost 500 game tickets have been sold, Father Young told CNA on Sept. 1.
"It should be a nice crowd of people to watch this. People seem to react favorably. It's a novelty, the first time," he said.
"It's kind of extraordinary for people to hear that priests and seminarians are playing fast-pitch baseball. Softball is one thing, and there's basketball. But playing varsity baseball is a little unusual."
Father Young developed the idea with Father Larry Swink, pastor of Jesus the Divine Word in Huntingtown, Md. Both men witnessed the success of the D.C. Hood basketball team, which is also made up of priests and seminarians.
The basketball team has been around for several years, and Father Young has played in a few games.
"The basketball team this year is going to be awesome," he reported. "Their team is stacked."
The team travels to area parishes and has four or five games a year. During halftime, the crowd hears from a priest or seminarian, who talks about vocations.
The Archdiocese of Baltimore also has a basketball team called Men in Black.
Father Young recommended that other dioceses consider similar sports programs to encourage vocations.
"It seems like it's spreading," he said. "If nothing else, it creates buzz, and people talk about these things. It just keeps it in people's minds.
"It's a nice, light, fun event that lets people see their priests out there in a different setting than they're used to."

Since the 1980''s, the European Community (EC) has established a unified Rockwell C hardness (HRC) scale by averaging several national scales, which come from each country''s national hardness machines and diamond indenters. These indenters have significant differences in both microform geometry measurements and hardness tests. A hardness comparison and correction method is used to offset these differences. This method lacks metrological traceability and reproducibility. The EC unified scale has an unknown offset to an ideal scale. Instead, we propose a metrological approach using NIST standard grade Rockwell indenters whose development is motivated by a recently implemented microform calibration system. The proposed standard indenters would be characterized by high uniformity in both microform geometry and hardness performance, and, therefore, would be interchangeable and reproducible. By using standard indenters in standard hardness machines under a standardized testing cycle, it should be possible to establish a worldwide unified Rockwell scale with metrological traceability and reproducibility, and without significant bias to the ideal scale. Recent geometric measurements and hardness testing results support this approach.

Telenor Norge claims it has become the countrys first operator to enable access to Long Term Evolution-based (LTE-based) services via mobile phone. With access having previously been restricted to those connecting via USB dongle, the operator has confirmed that from yesterday customers with 4G-compatible mobile handsets will be able to utilise its LTE network. It notes that it has put in place an automatic solution which provides voice access over Telenors 3G network, while customers are transferred to the LTE infrastructure where it is available for web surfing and internet access.
Alongside this development, Telenor has also named a number of new locations which it plans to extend 4G coverage to by Christmas, with those being: Drammen, Fredrikstad, Sarpsborg, Skien, Porsgrunn and Kristiansand. Looking further ahead, the 4G footprint is expected to expand further in the New Year, with Telenor naming Tromso as another location where the network will be switched on at that date. In addition to expanding 4G across the country, Telenors managing director Berit Svednsen reiterated that the operator is also continuing to develop its third-generation infrastructure, noting: 90% of Telenors mobile customers have 3G coverage where they live, and the continuing expansion will ensure as much as 95% coverage. By the end of 2015 nine out of 10 Norwegians will also be able to use 4G from Telenor.
As previously reported by CommsUpdate, Telenor Norge unveiled commercial LTE services in eleven cities and towns across the country in October 2012. At launch the 4G network was available in Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger, Lorenskog, Sandnes, Lillestrom, Asker, Baerum, Lofthus in Hardanger and Longyearbyen.

[quote:Munchmallow 1235426:MV8yNzk5MzJfMjE4NDIzMjBfMjBFOUI0QTA=] Many of you may not share my reasonings and beliefs but nevertheless bear with me. First of all i find it very ignorant that millions of people speak on this topic every day without actually presenting any concrete facts to support their beliefs. If all you have as an argument is the triangle Jay-Z makes with his hands then you utterly fail as a human being. No matter how many videos you google, how many books you read, and how many passages from the Bible you have deciphered i'm afraid you will never know the real truth behind it all. None of us will. It is very easy to just point the finger at Masons and a secret Bavarian organisation and brand them as the upcoming doom that will swallow us all. Very few things in this world are factual. Remember facts can be twisted and truths can be bended. I'm not saying that there isn't a shadowy organisation pulling all the strings, nor am i saying that there is one. All i'm saying is don't be so quick to jump the gun on everything you hear and see...looks can be deceiving. Have you ever thought of the possibility that there indeed is a shadowy organisation made up of the richest and smartest people on the world, and the Masons are being used by them as cannon fodder that takes up all the blame on their behalf, so that at the end of the day the elite themselves wouldn't be lynched? Didn't think so. Now...Have you ever thought of the possibility that maybe indeed it is Christianity that is trying to manipulate people? Because all it takes for a religious fanatic (Be it Muslim or Christian) is to hear the words "In the name of God" and he/she straps on a c4 on her/his back and blows up a whole Goddamn hospital full of infants. Why? Because the children were the sons and daughters of evil satanic Nephillims and therefore...abominations - that's what the pope said. I am not trying to defend Masons nor Christians. I am not a believer, nor will i ever be. But i do have my own educated reasoning behind my choice. And it is not because so much evil has been done in God's name. That evil was done by human beings hiding behind the God excuse, so that is in no way god's fault. Now hear out my reasoning: First of all i do not believe God exists. Second of all, even if he exists i wouldn't kneel to him, nor would i kneel to satan. Why? Because being a creator - therefore a father figure, it is very wrong of him to ask me to kneel before him and do his bidding. If i ever had children i certainly wouldn't do that to him. And also just like on this illuminati mason topic, many people are quick to jump the gun on Satan as well. He is the bad guy...he kills...he rapes etc. Other than what the bible says, do you have any other proof of Satan being an evil monster? Didn't think so. As a matter of fact, Satan strikes me as a very intelligent angel who was sick and tired of his daddy's little tricks. Do any of you religious fanatics know why Satan was cast out of heaven? Didn't think so. Satan was cast out of Heaven because when God gave all that power to Jesus, Satan started questioning his decision. It seems to me like a very reasonable thing to do, and in no way is that a mortal sin. But apparently God didn't like that, and cast Satan and his followers out of Heaven. Seems to me like God is nothing more than a form of celestial Illuminati wouldn't you say? And no, i am not a satanist...but a mere human being trying to do his best in this life. Point of the story is...Do not judge and do not condemn that which you have no knowledge of. Whether a shadowy organisation truly exists is debatable and a matter of oppinion, and whether they are evil or good is a matter of numerous concrete facts, which you have an utter lack of. Is religion good or bad? If it was up to me i would ban the practice of religion, and severly punish all those who secretly practice it. But if you do choose the path of religion, do not engulf yourself in the flames of it. Believe what you want, but also keep an open mind about everything else. Do not always try to explain everything with religion and God, and educate yourself further. Do not limit yourself. And most importantly!!!!...Do not try to convert other people...or you might just meet your God sooner that you ever thought. Just my two cents...well more like 25 cents but oh well...who's counting :). Thank you all for reading. P.S. if you want to continue accusing and posting on this topic...please go out in the world and see things for yourself, and gather facts and form opinions based on that. Do not trust Svalis and every other person who claims that they have been raped by the illuminati or killed by the shadowy Macintosh organisation. If you are truly passionate about your views, experience the world for yourself, not through the eyes of another. The devil is in the details. Now go find him. [/quote]

If they are masters of the occult it would be safe to assume that they've already discovered that surving demons or satan is very primitive occult practice. According to my theory only small minority of their low ranking members do that. The reason some of them do that is because this is the easiest way to become part of the occult world although it is also the most dangerous one. High ranking members think they are Gods and therefore there is no need for human sacrifice or worship of any kind. What if their chip implant program will help to illiminate all domestic violence? That would be a good thing don't you think? Also, no more murders, rapes or theft. Everything you do is recorded so who would be so crazy to break the law?
