Sales of Office and Windows have seen Microsoft post record first quarter revenues of $16.2 billion, up 25% from the same period last year.
The spike in demand gave the software giant net income of $7.12 billion, up 51%. Operating income was $7.12 billion, up 69%.
Of that, the business division contributed $3.4 billion of profit, while the Windows and Windows Live unit was the next most profitable with $3.3 billion. Online services lost $560 million, however.
"The reports of the death of Windows and Office are premature - the company is still a cash flow machine," Colin Gillis, an analyst at BGC Financial, told Reuters. "People are buying about $10 billion worth of Windows and Office this quarter. The twin engines of Microsoft are still firing."
Microsoft also said revenue from the Xbox 360 was up 38%. Office 2010 revenue had grown 15% in its first quarter, while the company said last week that Windows 7 was its fastest-selling OS yet.
"Xbox momentum continued, with our console outselling every competing console in the US for the fourth consecutive month," said Peter Klein, chief financial officer at Microsoft.
"Bing use hit an all-time high, with almost double the number of queries since it launched last year and consumers continued to show their strong preference for Windows 7 and Office 2010."
Microsoft said it saw PC sales up by around 10%, with consumer sales in the double digits, adding that tablets weren't causing any trouble yet.
"Regarding netbook trends, we have seen consumers shift from buying netbooks to low-end notebooks and we have not seen a material shift away from low-end PCs due to tablets in the market," said Bill Koefoed, general manager of investor relations.
"Instead, we've predominantly seen consumers increase their number of devices and their usage scenarios."

A Shocking Resemblence, Adele's Wax Figure Is Almost Too Lifelike.
Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in London unveiled their latest wax figure last week and this figure is definitely a head turner. Creators recreated an almost exact replica of Adele. The detail is amazing and strikingly realistic, so much that you'd think she's right there in front of you singing at the Grammy Awards.
Adele is featured in a black dress with silver and red nails and poised to belt out 'Rolling In The Deep'! Check out these extremely lifelike pics.

Los Angeles (January 26, 2009) — The Screen Actors Guild National Board of Directors by written assent today terminated the employment of Doug Allen and appointed former Guild general counsel David White to replace him as interim national executive director. The board further appointed longtime Guild senior advisor John T. McGuire as chief negotiator.The board also disbanded the TV/Theatrical Negotiating Committee and directed that it be replaced with a Taskforce directed to complete these negotiations on behalf of the board of directors.All actions are effective immediately.The assent was received and verified by Guild legal counsel and Screen Actors Guild's outside counsel.White has assumed his role as interim national executive director and will work from the Guild's national headquarters office in Los Angeles beginning Tuesday, January 27, 2009.
"This is a difficult time for Screen Actors Guild and a particularly challenging period for working actors," said White. "I am deeply committed to the Guild and its members and I believe that, working with the national board, we can help guide this transition."
"I look forward to working closely with this talented and dedicated staff, many of whom I know well from my years as the Guild's general counsel," he added.
During his tenure as Screen Actors Guild's general counsel, White directed the organization's legal and governance staff and played a central role in the Guild's contract negotiations and strategic planning efforts. He later co-founded and served as the managing principal of the consulting firm Entertainment Strategies Group (ESG). A graduate of Stanford Law School and a Rhodes Scholar, White was previously a labor and employment attorney at the Los Angeles firm of O'Melveny & Myers.
He has consulted for Chapin Hall Center for Children at the University of Chicago and a variety of urban development projects in the United States, England and South Africa. He currently serves as chairman of the Board of Trustees of his alma mater, Grinnell College and is the former co-chair of the American Bar Association's Sports & Entertainment Labor Law Standing Committee. He also serves as a Mayoral-appointed commissioner of Los Angeles for urban area planning and development.
John T. McGuire is currently the Guild's senior advisor. During his nearly 40 years with the union, he participated in or led more than 30 contract negotiations covering actors. From 1983 to 2001, he was Screen Actors Guild's associate national executive director, the second highest ranking executive position. Prior to 1983 he served as the New York executive director.
McGuire graduated from Fordham College with a B.A. degree in History and from Fordham Law School with a J.D. degree in law. He has represented the union internationally at meetings with performer organizations around the world. He serves as a trustee of the SAG-Producers Pension & Health Plans, as well as vice president and founding director of the American Museum of the Moving Image, president of the Council of Motion Picture & Television Unions of New York City, secretary of the Motion Picture Players Welfare Fun and as a trustee of the Screen Actors Guild Foundation. He is a member of the board of the Industry Advancement & Cooperative Fund and is vice president of the International Federation of Actors.
Guild senior executives issued an email reminding Guild employees to continue to pursue the organization's core mission of serving and protecting the interests of Screen Actors Guild members.
Official SAG Statement Regarding National Board Actions Today
36 Comments
Face it, the words Unite and Strength don't apply to SAG.
You have no mandate. Not even close. The only way you can succeed is by making peace with Membership First, which means the second guessing has to stop.
You need them, and they need you. Everyonoe forgets it's the producers who are the opponent, not each other.
A good place to start would be for both sides to agree to drop the names Membership First and Unite for Strength and start referring to themselves as the Screen Actors Guild.
The fix is in.
I second that!! Drop the stupid names and the stupid in fighting. Remember who you were voted in to represent, the UNION MEMBERS, not your fractious groups.
thank you Randy.
Rosenberg needs to be next. Actually Rosenberg first, then Allen, oh well.
Membership First, thanks for playing…….
You are absolutely correct all political factions of SAG need to stop the political battles and become SAG.
However, it is not really UFS vs MF. It was MF vs everyone else in SAG. UFS was not alone in this assent, they have been given the credit, but the NY and regional board members (except for one) supported this unanimously along with UFS' Hollywood members.
It will be interesting to see if MF gets on board with the new NED. Considering how they have preached for the last year or so how anyone not supporting the NED were anti-union etc. Was that really how they felt or was that just because it was their NED and their agenda?
A little advice for Unite For Strength: If you or your proxies at sagwatch continue to gloat or dance on Doug's grave that 52% will be gone in no time. Be gracious. Extend a hand. Move forward.
I wish to revise and extend my previous remarks about the key role played by Amy Brenneman in the January 26th Massacre.
The following statement is unfair. It fails to give much-deserved credit to two supporting players: the son of Alan Arkin and the soon-to-be ex-wife of Alex Young, co-president of film production under Fox's Peter Chernin. Please keep them in mind as you read this analysis:
Doug Allen's firing and the dissolution of a valiant negotiating committee can be traced to one event.
Sometime in 2008, television star Amy Brenneman decided to run as the leading name on the electoral slate of Unite-for-Strength. (www.USActorsOnScreen.com)
Brenneman won a plurality of the votes of Hollywood Branch members in September, 2008. Her presence on the slate helped other Unite for Strength candidates win enough votes to secure a majority of so-called "moderates" on our National Board.
The die was cast.
If you have to live with an inferior, insulting, degrading contract for the next three years, and many more, you can thank One Lucky Star.
Did YOU vote for her? (For Arkin or Walsh?) There will be another election come September.
This adds a whole new meaning to "Star Chamber". Now all you need to throw yourselves back into the 19th Century is a "vigilante posse."
If this were a script, it would never sell. Well, maybe with some chains and whips and a Motorcycle gang and an alien invasion with flying saucers.
Enter, Stage Left: The Tall Lawyer enters the room, dragging his leather satchel overstuffed with papers. The first little green man stands upon the table and whispers softly while stroking his corporate whip over the whipped cream covered slave, "we're here, what is it you want to give us to make us stay?
Rest In Peace
Screen Actors Guild 1933-2009
"Divided, they stood apart"
The center-right coalition, code-name: "the moderates" — the U4S/USAN coalition has finally terminated Doug Allen. The center-rightists have also dissolved the long-standing Negotiating Committee. How to respond to the January 26th Massacre?
Prepare now.
Study very carefully the contract which was left on the table by the AMPTP.
Observe, very carefully, whatever changes to that contract are made in the next round of negotiations, between the AMPTP and the new U4S/USAN "Task Force," led by Mr. Allen's replacement.
Think. Inform yourself and your friends. Debate. In a short time, maybe six weeks, we will be asked to decide the fate of our union. We will be asked to decide our future as professional actors.
Will the new chief negotiator and the U4S/USAN Task Force win a contract that we can live with, live with in some dignity? Will they win a contract that will guarantee a decent standard of living for the next generation of actors?
If so, I will vote to RATIFY that contract.
If not — if the contract the U4S/USAN negotiating team sends to us is not significantly better than the contract now on the table, I will fight against its ratification with all the energy I and my family can muster.
Be prepared. Be ready to fight for your life as an actor. Be ready to fight for what you deserve and fight for your very dignity as a human being.
This is who is taking over Doug's job.
LOS ANGELES, April 15 /PRNewswire/ — Former Screen Actors Guild
General Counsel David White discusses entertainment strategies, opposing
arguments and consequences of the potentially devastating SAG strike. The
labor negotiations begin today in an effort to reach a new collective
bargaining agreement before the June 30, 2008 expiration of the present
"No question about it, such a strike would be devastating, particularly
on the heels of the 100 day WGA strike. People are only getting back on
their feet now by paying off credit card and home equity debt they used to
get through the first work stoppage. Even if some film has been stockpiled
by then, SAG can basically shut down new production, which means no work
for many people," said David White, Esq., former General Counsel for the
Screen Actors Guild.
David White, Esq. is now a partner at Entertainment Strategies Group,
LLC which is a consulting firm that specializes in helping entertainment
companies and professionals navigate the complex world of entertainment
unions, Guilds, and collective bargaining agreements, and bridge the gap
between labor and producers. A graduate of Stanford Law School and a Rhodes
Scholar, David was a labor and employment attorney at O'Melveny & Myers,
LLP before becoming SAG General Counsel.
So they give the job to someone who consults producers on SAG's contracts. Do you think the producers hire him on how to stay within a contract or how to get around a contract?
Not to mention he seems to have already made up his mind about a strike.
Your comment is a perfectly written statement of what's in SAGS best interest.
It's pretty easy to blow things up. I'll be surprised if they can actually build anything. The new team is going to go to the AMPTP and come back with Force Majeure saying; now we have the same deal as everyone else, and recommend we ratify it, promising we'll revisit the crappy new media formula after we merge with AFTRA. Then I guess we'll see how many of us are worn out enough to eat the shit sandwich… I think I'm just getting my second wind-
Comments like "Everyone forgets it's the producers who are the opponent" really don't help you chances of "succeeding" either, Randy
I agree with Randy.
I work with a lot of actors in this town and they're frustrated by the lack of a contract, lack of work and an uncertain economic future. "Congratulation, and welcome my world and everyone else's who makes movies in this town," I tell them.
Personally, I think it's time for all of us in Hollywood, whether you are above or below the line, to Unite for Strength given these Depressionary times. What good is fighting for digital downloads if there's nothing being made to download? Think about it.
Randy – Well said. Both sides within SAG should work together in putting together their best "Why vote yes?" and "Why vote no?" statements to send out to all members to vote on whether to accept the "final" AMPTP offer. That is, simply provide some balanced guidance to the members and let them decide the next step. If they vote yes, done. If the vote no, SAG should be more united and will have stronger a negotiating position against AMPTP. Let well informed members decide the next step.
HA. After voting FOR a strike referendum these folks waffle and say the economy is too rotten to strike. So Allen compromises and says let's send out the contract as is to the members for a vote.
This so scares Unite For Strength that the membership voting down the contract will lead to a better contract and slow their agenda to merge with AFTRA– and move toward affected member voting–they fire Allen which costs you and I $500,000 in dues. They will have to pay out the remainder of his contract, and that half million is what it will cost.
That's money that could buy a lot of health and pension. With the economy so awful we can't afford to strike how is it we can afford to throw away $500,000 for nothing more than a politcal agenda of Amy Brenneman, Ned Vaughn, and Kate Walsh?
That's a lot of cabbage. I can't understand why they'd wanna spend our money this way? Unless of course they have nothing to worry about since 2 of the 3 are married to AMPTP.
It's amazing how naive the "moderates" are being here. The WGA has confirmed that the AMPTP is already breaking the agreement they signed just a few months ago — not a single penny in online residuals has been paid to a single writer. How can SAG think that any conciliatory deal they sign with AMPTP will result in anything but a similar ripoff?
Bemused Observer – Your point should be included in the "Why vote no?" statement. Point out that more teeth are required in any contract with AMPTP so vote no. The point is SAG appears headless now, but that doesn't mean the members can't speak in a clear loud voice when voting up or down.
Death by a Thousand Bee Stings…
… is still death…
Although some in SAG might call it "a new way forward."
The word on the street is that the new NED
is a bagman for the AMPTP.
Dear Dave Clennon,
This is a wonderful opportunity for you. With your years of experience in this business, you can step up to the plate, and help SAG come together as one. There is always 3 sides to a story, and you can help U4S & MF, throw out what wasn't working and build on what will. You know that any union is only as strong as their weakest link…so,throwing darts, instead of trying to be part of the solution, hurts everyone. Regardless of who right or wrong, now is the time for thoughtful conversation, and fresh ideas. I have a "Zwick" connection with you "Miles", so I know you have this in you. Anger eats all that is positive and good…direct the anger into something positive and it will leave. I'm not preaching, I learned this the hard way…the really, really hard way. It's your time to be a hero, cause you have seen it all.

1) I saw (yet another) sign in the Northeastern US about "Here was Washington's Camp -- August Something, 1780." Wasn't he supposed to be leading the revolutionary forces? What was he doing going around camping all the time?
2) In Brooklyn last night, the restaurant I ate at had a sign at the door reading, "Drinking During Pregnancy May Cause Birth Defects -- By Order of NYC Local Law 603." Does this mean that before that law was passed, drinking during pregnancy was innocuous?
3) A while back I wrote about the unusual "combo businesses" one finds in New York City. I'm typing this in an Internet Cafe / Beauty Salon.

The carbonic anhydrasekl (CA) family consists of at least 11 enzymatically active members and a few inactive homologous proteins. Carbonic anhydrase IV (CAIV) is a membrane-associated enzyme anchored to plasma membrane surfaces by a phosphatidylinositol glycan linkage.

You can do that, or you can just replace them and come in on an existing

This has been done, but is more complex. I would do these as seperate
steps, personally.

While most of the focus this season has been -- as it should be -- on players' performances, several coaches have turned in noteworthy performances as well.
Some notably good, some notably bad. Here's my take:
Jobs Well Done
Byron Scott -- The runaway coach of the year until Rick Adelman led the Rockets on a 22-game win streak sans Yao Ming. And don't give me that, "He's got Chris Paul" talk. What great, successful coach doesn't have a top player? Scott has proven -- and not just this year -- to be a great coach.
Rick Adelman -- All he does is win. The biggest surprise this season has been how stellar the Rockets' defense has been. And with all due respect to Jeff Van Gundy, Adelman and this year's staff deserve the credit, not the previous regime. In case you haven't noticed, players, especially young ones like those on the Rockets, don't automatically play tenacious defense just because a former coach taught them to. All that said, Adelman will finish this season as he's finished all his other great runs -- on the sorry side of a playoff series.
Doc Rivers -- During the preseason, folks forgot Doc was coach of the year back in 2000. I kept hearing that he might be a weak link after the Celtics brought together the Big Three. Turns out the only thing "weak'' were those predictions about him holding the revamped Celtics back. Not only has he managed the egos tremendously and all but assured the Celtics of having homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs, but he's taken a group of previously nondescript defenders (besides KG) and turned them into the best defensive unit in the league.
Phil Jackson -- He did a great job last year and had the Lakers on track to do some damage until injuries ripped through his roster. But this season, he's truly silenced any critics who sing the "He had Michael and Scottie, then Shaq and Kobe" chorus. Before the Lakers got Pau Gasol, Phil had them looking like contenders. Give him some credit for Andrew Bynum's development and major kudos for his handling of the Kobe-wants-out situation early in the year.
Stan Van Gundy -- Great to see him back on top (somewhat) after his unjust demotion in Miami. He's gotten things out of Hedo Turkoglu that no one -- not even Hedo -- thought possible, and he's turned the Magic into a regular-season force while working with one of the worst backcourts in the league.
Nate McMillan -- Sure, the Blazers have returned to earth, but they're still playing plus-.500 basketball in the Western Conference. If they were in the East, they'd be fighting for homecourt in the first round. Next year, it's on.
Mo Cheeks -- Give Cheeks huge credit for playing to his team's strengths: They're young and athletic so he has them running and pressing. Mo has Philly ahead of several teams with more highly-touted, highly-compensated players. If the Sixers can pass Washington to gain the sixth seed, an upset of Orlando is not out of the question.
Eddie Jordan -- This poor guy hardly ever has his full complement of stars. The last time he did have his version of the Big Three (Arenas, Jamison, Butler), he took them to the best record in the East. But he's done an admirable job of holding them together and keeping them in the playoffs despite all the injuries.
Reggie Theus -- He stepped into a tough situation and did about as well as could be expected. His Kings would be a playoff team in the LEast. If Geoff Petrie and the Maloofs give him a real roster sometime soon, he could put the buzz back in Kings basketball.
Mike Woodson -- Whether the underachieving Hawks make the playoffs or not, he should be gone. And he should take Billy "Who Needs Point Guards" Knight with him. Word is both are gone if the Hawks fail to reach the postseason.
Lawrence Frank -- The Nets have struggled to find an identity under Frank, and the players have lost faith in him. For a club this talented (Vince, RJ, J-Kidd/Devin Harris ,etc ) to be struggling to make the playoffs in the atrocious East is a travesty. Word is he's in trouble if Nets don't secure at least the eighth seed. He should be in trouble regardless.
Isiah Thomas -- The players don't like him or trust him, and they'll never reach their potential under him. Knicks' fans better hope recent talk of him remaining as coach (while being stripped of his front office duties) is hogwash.
Larry Krystkowiak -- The firing of GM Larry Harris was not a good sign for Krystkowiak, who clearly hasn't gotten the Bucks to play to their potential.
Jim Boylan -- Who knows if the Bulls' continued struggles are a reflection of Boylan's overall coaching ability, but he's got to go nonetheless. Bulls need a fresh start.
Pat Riley -- He should stop coaching for good and stay in the front office, where he's done a fine job. Except for that charmed month in 2006, when the Heat defied all logic and won the title, it's been ages since Riley had a great season as coach. Plus, his ridiculous "here one day, gone the next" routine on the sidelines doesn't jibe with the "Never Quit" rhetoric he spews to the players. And don't think they don't notice.
George Karl -- Dude's got the longest contract known to man, but should he survive a lottery finish for the talented Nuggets? He probably will, but this is a disaster. And with Karl at the helm, there's no reason to think next year will be any different.
Marc Iavaroni -- I was surprised to hear from a few executives this week that Iavaroni may be in trouble. He was the Boy Wonder last summer, when he topped everyone's list of available coaches. But I'm hearing his star has dimmed in Memphis. I can't believe he'd be released after one year, but folks say he's got an elitist attitude that's rubbed his players the wrong way.
Sam Vincent -- As with Iavaroni, I'd be shocked if he were released after just one season. I think both of them deserve another shot, but it sure seems that Charlotte has underachieved.
Those coaches not mentioned, I thought, performed as expected. Some were great, some were solid, some were so-so.

Reno, Nev. • U.S. Bureau of Land Management officials say they agree with a Nevada sheriff's position that rancher Cliven Bundy must be held accountable for his role in an April standoff between his supporters and the federal agency.
Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie said Bundy crossed the line when he allowed states' rights supporters, including self-proclaimed militia members, onto his property to aim guns at police.
"If you step over that line, there are consequences to those actions," Gillespie told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "And I believe they stepped over that line. No doubt about it. They need to be held accountable for it."

Hulk Hogan
He's been through the wringer as of late after Gawker released a sex tape without his permission, and now Hulk Hogan is holding his head high in the wake of his $140 million judgement.
In an interview with People, the 62-year-old wrestling champ gushed, "I was relieved that people actually finally believe me. So many people thought I was making a sex tape to sell as entertainment."
Racial tensions are reaching an all-time high again here in the USA, and Hulk Hogan found out the hard way that using the "n-word" is no laughing matter.
The legendary wrestler was removed from all WWE media on Friday morning (July 24) because of an interview he gave DJ Whoo Kid's Sirius XM Shade 45 show back in 2012, during which he used the racial slur while recounting his interactions with Booker T, Lil Wayne and Birdman while partying in Miami.
He just can't stay away! Hulk Hogan is returning to the WWE as the host of WrestleMania 30, coming in April, and will also appear on multiple shows, with the launch of the upcoming WWE Network.
Making his first appearance on Monday's "Raw," the 60-year-old muscle man released a statement, saying, "Words cannot express how excited I am to be back in the WWE family."
He's done all kinds of crazy things during his long and successful career, and Hulk Hogan is still up for anything.
The 60-year-old pro wrestler/reality television star appears in a new commercial for his new website hosting company called Hostamania, and you'll never believe what he's doing.
He's the product of an industry where appearance is literally everything, so it's no wonder Hulk Hogan is proud of his beautiful daughter Brooke.
However, when the wrestling champ posted a photo of his girl's gams, along with the caption, "Brooke's legs," he received some serious backlash.
Going all out for the scary holiday, Kim Kardashian hosted a Halloween Party at LIV Nightclub in Miami, Florida last night (October 31).
The "Disaster Movie" babe showed up in a Catwoman getup and hammed it up with her boyfriend Kanye West who was dressed as Batman himself.
It has been quite the embarrassing situation for Hulk Hogan, and finally the pro wrestler has settled his lawsuit over a sex tape his former buddy Bubby the Love Sponge released a few weeks back.
The Hulkster received an apology from Bubba (aka Todd Alan Clem) for leaking the graphic video, though the rest of the settlement terms have not been disclosed.
After a sex tape in which he appeared was released over the internet, Hulk Hogan has lawyered up and is suing those allegedly responsible for the leak.
The pro wrestler held a press conference on Monday with his attorneys to announce his legal plans. One lawsuit is against longtime family friend Bubba the Love Sponge and ex-wife Heather Clem, who is featured in the tape, for allegedly recording the encounter. A second suit attacks the website Gawker, who posted a clip from the tape earlier this month.
He's always been a natural performer, but Hulk Hogan's sex tape antics are definitely on the awkward side of the spectrum.
The newly-released clip of the wrestling champ depicts a sex act between Hogan and his best friend DJ Bubba the Love Sponge's ex-wife Heather Clem, and is thought to have been filmed in 2007.
Honoring this year's best and brightest, the 2011 Spike TV Video Game Awards were held at Sony Studios in Los Angeles, California on Saturday evening (December 10).
Prettying up the red carpet were Hollywood beauty presenters such as Brooklyn Decker and Stacy Keibler along with "Camp Rock" stud Kevin Jonas, who was on hand to unveil the trailer for Rainbow 6 Patriots.

Scott Hatteberg is 10th in the NL in on base percentage at .401. I think it's simply amazing what this guy has done for the Reds.
The 9 guys in front of him are all-star caliber players:
Abreu, Pujols, Cabrera, Johnson, Bay, Garciaparra, Rolen, Helton, Wright and then Hatteberg.
I don't find very much talk about Hatteberg or his great season, but this guy has been a steal. I have to think that someone would find him a very valuable commodity in a playoff race. His counting stats aren't very good, but all he does is get on base, nothing to complain about there IMO.
Opinions on his season or trade value?

Legendary bhajan singer Juthika Roy in hospital
Kolkata: Legendary bhajan singer Juthika Roy, who enthralled the likes of Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru with her enchanting voice, is undergoing treatment at a city hospital for age-related ailments.
The 92-year-old singer is admitted to the city`s Ramakrishna Mission Seva Pratisthan.
"She was admitted earlier in the month with breathing and other problems. Her condition is better although she has developed some infections," her sister-in-law Arati Roy told IANS Sunday.
"She has developed urinary tract infection... she has also grown weak. Doctors have been taking special care of her and her condition is better now," a hospital spokesperson said.
Even as the city and West Bengal is on the tenterhooks following the hospitalization of legendary Bengali actress Suchitra Sen, who is getting visitors of the likes of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Roy continues to battle for her life away from the limelight.
Roy, who immortalized bhajans like "Ghunghat ka pat khol" and "Pag ghungharu bandh Meera nachi" was conferred the Padma Shri in 1972.
Mentored by Kazi Nazrul Islam and noted music director Kamal Dasgupta, Roy was requested by none other than the country`s first prime minister Nehru to continue singing on the radio as he unfurled the Tricolor on India`s first Independence Day.
"The prime minister had sent in a request that I was to keep singing till he reached Red Fort and hoisted the Tricolour. I went back to the AIR station... sang some seven-eight songs," the legendary singer recalled in an interview.

Changing the Future
Changing the world begins now, but it happens in the future. To impact the world, we need to raise and teach our children how to make those changes so that they can carry on the impacts that we begin now. I desire to be a teacher for that exact reason. I want to be a role model and a leader for young people, bringing them up to be responsible and mature adults. Our students need great teachers that can really connect with them, and show them how they create the future and how they will be the next leaders of our world. What they gain in the classroom and the decisions they make with and in the future will shape the world we live in. My goal is to finish my education as an elementary education major so that I can get out into my career and begin grooming our young people to achieve the greatness that they are destined for.

I'm sure you remember the Liberty City: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly post we did a little while ago. Well, here's a bonus clip from the series, which shows the crew trying to find people from Liberty City that crossed the bridge over to South Beach – and conduct a few interviews in the process.
As they put it, South Beach, you are "living life", and in Liberty City, more like "surviving life".

Has the millenarian gone speechless? Words fail to catch up with reality, and reality, whenever it pauses for a while, ridicules the exhausted lexicon. It is an ontological blackout, and he can't even command memory to speak. So, in this foggy morning of the 21st century, as Babel has more towers than it can afford, he can only aspire to be a translator of echoes. From Mesopotamia to Madison Avenue, from the spider hole to the stem-cell lab, from the rearmed neocon to the disarmed Baathist, from Rumsfeldian haiku to Bushist epigrams, from genetics to genocide, it is a long, winding, stretch of catch-me-if-you-can sort of text with an outdated glossary. In politics, culture, technology, fashion, ethics, science, art and religion, the inherited vocabulary doesn't work, any longer. Everything-man, machine and the metaphor-has slipped out of context, and new definitions and additions are needed to make the zeitgeist bearable, comprehensible. Language needs a lobotomy.
So here is a refresher course for those who can't read the tea leaves. Or a linguistic prism through which they can see the future, read it, touch it, feel it, and, when the spell recedes, if they wish so, run away from it. From elsewhere in the future, all are invited to read the world-a "bushwhacked" world, of course. There are new constructions and old ones with new meanings. The Future Dictionary of America is a smarter, cleverer rejoinder to the Word According to the Bush Era and, like almost everything American, it has a global resonance, no matter you read it in Delhi or in Fallujah. Written by some of the finest contemporary writers-among them Paul Auster, Jonathan Franzen, T.C. Boyle, Peter Carey, Simon Schama, Stephen King, Manil Suri and Joyce Carol Oates-this wicked volume, illustrated and accompanied by a 22-track CD with new songs for the future, is a multimedia "attalk", pronounced at-tok, ("to set upon rhetorical force for the specific purpose of defusing a volatile situation; to bring into a peaceful state by talking; to affect positively through articulation") on the leadership of George W. The "progressive cause" in America, unlike its counterpart in the Third World, can afford to have some brainy panache, even if the tongue is firmly in the left cheek.
No playful peek into the big, bad, boisterous tomorrow in The Future of Knowledge & Culture, subtitled "The Dictionary for the 21st Century", edited by the formidable Ashis Nandy, India's intellectual at large, and Vinay Lal, who, apart from other things, studies Nandy. It is not much of a dictionary but an anthology in alphabetical order that intends to "contribute to a different, self-reflexive and perhaps more self-doubting cultural politics of knowledge". Well, the range-from Coca-Cola to laughter to Singapore to Yahoo!-is representative. It is a pretty serious book, as serious as sociology in a dissertation paper can be, like "Transmodernism is the transfer of modernity from the edge of chaos into a new order of society". Some familiar and brilliant ideas gasp for air in jargon-heavy pages. Only Nandy -he can be pop and profound, unlike most classroom intellectuals-and a few others can pull it off with ease and elegance. Be it Coca-Cola or sugar, Nandy is breezy and brainy. Otherwise, this dictionary is as refreshing as "Weapons of mass destruction are a product of the clash of civilisations, the triangulation of interventionary fronts, not their cause". Wow!
It is not a case of "paradoxysm", which the other dictionary defines as "a sudden attack of understanding that allows you to hold sparring statements in your mind without feeling like you have to choose one side over the other". The Future Dictionary of America is more creative as well as expansive, and it is designed as a proper dictionary, so mischievously. Here it goes. Karmageddon: "The culminating event in the War Between Heaven and Heck that ended on July 4, 2044 a.d. (40 A. GWB.), when surviving religious Fundamentalists of all faiths were airlifted off the long suffering planet they'd nearly brought to ruin and-receiving richly deserved retribution-were forced to leave even their dentures behind." Neocon: "To deceive, particularly by sounding false alarms. Once the residents were neoconned into fleeing their homes, which were not on fire, the thieves made off with their possessions. Also, when the practice is accompanied by fraudulent appeals to one's patriotism and love of liberty." Rumsfeld: "One who can stomach casualties." Well, it is a world of terrarism and skinicism, of immigranitis and genopolitics, of democrazy and candidoxy, of mom-o-meter and dad-o-meter, and where sex, cheney, nature, news, brain, marriage, gun, enron and bush mean not what we think they mean.
This is extreme "errogance" of writers and artists disgusted with the new "imperiology" of the Bush Administration. It is a kind of Fahrenheit 9/11 by other means, but certainly much superior as the art of dissent, even though the politics of "the progressive cause" quite often misses the morality of the "neocon job". Then, it is counter-morality, and counter-utopia, as seen from a distant but possible future where the remains of the Bush era would be archival items in a world re-programmed. And language is victim as well as redeemer when mind subverts the pretence of power. A dictionary is all about language, and in this one, some of the fine users of language write their alternative to "Rumsfeldian Geometry" and what they think are other grotesqueries. And it is fun, funnier than the "neoillogism" of the secretary of defense or his boss-or, for that matter, some contributors in the other dictionary.
Rider on the Fast Track
Accidents by definition are not pre-planned pit stops. Except when you are an engineering student-turned-humanities scholar-turned-journalist-turned-technology consultant named Ashutosh Sheshabalaya called Tosh who lives in Belgium. An avid biker, 45-year-old Tosh frequently burns tyre on asphalt astride his BMW 1100, cutting across the Belgian borders for a high on the German autobahns. Last August he was thrown off his BMW and into a hospital. Most mortals would have checked in for introspection. Tosh turned it into a break to put his thoughts onto the laptop and bring out Rising Elephant.
It is not your regular book even if Macmillan calls it one. It is a breathless collection of anecdotes, facts and opinions on India's march towards economic stardom. That the book has 36 pages of bibliography and an index of events and names that runs into 11 pages should give you an idea of the page-to-page carpet bombing of facts. And, no, this is not just another treatise on the teeming graduates trundling out of university turnstiles, fuelling India's mind power. It is actually all of that and an attempt to "address the deficit of reasoned analysis on India" as it emerges as a world power-economically, militarily and, of course, technologically. Having "first spotted the $10 billion export potential of the Indian it industry as early as 1997", Tosh has made it a habit to puncture prejudices, force publications to correct notions and organisations like the EU to take note of India-all this with a data bank of four lakh articles on the country on his desktop. If you are an Indo-sceptic then Sheshabalaya is not the kind of guy you would want on the next seat on a long flight for he would convert you with an evangelistic zeal that borders on obsession. "India's success is as much about secularism, pluralism, democracy and free markets," he argues
Provoke him and trigger a flood of quotes, even some kitsch. Sample these: Secularism in the West is an accident; India isn't cheap but the West is expensive; India is permanently organic unlike the south-east Asian tigers. But like a good rider, Tosh manages to balance his rhetoric and his rationale. So how come he pitch-forked off his saddle? Makes you wonder. It is almost as if the accident was by design.

Tree Slice Cake Stand 18 x 21 Locust by roxyheartvintage on Etsy
1 Recommendation
roxyheartvintage's recommendation
Tree slice cake stands, tree slice, rustic wood cake stand, wooden cake stand, wood cake stand, tree slabs~ are here! Each slab is about 3" tall and 18" x 21" in diameter with beautiful rustic knots and checks in the wood. The weight is approximately 10 pounds. Perfect for weddings, parties, and general uses. Get creative and add character to your decor! Each stand is sanded and sealed with a clear wax finish to preserve and protect it. Each tree slice is unique and will differ naturally from the one shown in color and shape. The darling edible sugar fall leaves are from Andieâs Specialty Sweets, right here on Etsy! Beautiful, rich tones of amber, burnt umber, gold, peridot green (with hints of eggplant and wine reds) guild these hand-crafted leaves. Besides their impressive presence they have a delicate chocolaty taste (and are not overly sweet). They are a lovely embellishment to a special event cake, cupcakes, or try them gifted for a hostess gift or event favor. I can personally recommend this seller to you for a quality product and someone who is helpful and excellent to work with! http://www.etsy.com/shop/andiespecialtysweets Please see my other listings for different sizes and configurations. **Orders usually ship within three days from time of payment. Please note the date of your event when purchasing. Proper care, cleaning, and storage instructions will be included with your order. When choosing a cake stand it is important to choose a wood that holds its bark well. I try to stay away from the cheaper woods that drop the bark easily and search for local hardwoods like Black Walnut and Siberian Elm. I choose woods with beautiful bark that is hearty and full of character. I reinforce the bark using a variety of methods to ensure it will last for the long haul. I'D RATHER EXPLAIN THE PRICE THAN APOLOGIZE FOR THE QUALITY!

Private giving to Carolina has never been more important; making gifts to scholarships, the Carolina Fund, and academic areas even more impactful to the student experience. Students Promoting the University's Reach for Success (SPURS) are a student program run through the Office of Annual Giving that educates students on the importance of philanthropy and private giving at Carolina. Through this interactive and engaging presentation, students learn how gifts affect the campus and their Carolina experience and gain an appreciation for the opportunities available to them and for the University's generous donors.

Students Today - Alumni Tomorrow
This presentation engages and informs students about the Alumni Association's student membership program - the largest student organization on campus. We believe a student's lifelong connection to the Carolina community begins the moment he or she steps foot on campus, and we highlight the many events and benefits that student members enjoy. We also discuss our student advisory board, the governing body of the student membership program, and the leadership development opportunities that come from being a part of it. We always come prepared with plenty of giveaways for students who contribute to the conversation!
Whether the students in your class are members or not, they learn something about what their Alumni Association is doing for them now and planning to do for them after they graduate. Please contact the presenter with the exact number of enrolled students so we can plan to bring enough prizes.

Bail refused in retrial over Massereene barracks murders
A TERMINALLY-ILL man ordered to face a retrial after his convictions for murdering two British soldiers in Northern Ireland were quashed will remain in prison until the case is heard, judges have ruled.
A bail application for Brian Shivers was refused by the Court of Appeal in Belfast as it emerged that his lawyers are attempting to challenge today's decision to order the new trial in the UK's Supreme Court.
In refusing bail, the Appeal Court judges acknowledged the health issues facing the cystic fibrosis patient but said the risk of him offending was too high to release him from Maghaberry high security jail in Co Antrim.
The same court ruled yesterday that the convictions against the 47-year-old from Magherafelt, Co Londonderry, for the 2009 murders of sappers Mark Quinsey, 23, and Patrick Azimkar, 21, outside Massereene army barracks in Antrim were unsafe.
This morning the three Appeal Court judges, among them Northern Ireland's Lord Chief Justice Sir Declan Morgan, ordered a new trial following an application from the Public Prosecution Service (PPS).
They said the move was in the public interest. The trial has been provisionally pencilled in for the start of March.
Shivers, dressed in a checked jacket and jeans, sat impassively in court throughout the legal proceedings at the High Court.
Delivering guilty verdicts last January, judge Mr Justice Anthony Hart, who has now retired, drew on DNA evidence to find that Shivers set light to the getaway car used in the gun attack.
Quashing those convictions, the Appeal Court noted that Mr Justice Hart had found Shivers guilty of murder as a secondary party, not murder as part of a joint enterprise, which had been the case put forward by the Crown.
On that basis, the judges found, setting fire to the car after the shootings was not enough find him guilty.
For a secondary party conviction, they stressed the importance of when the defendant lent assistance to the shooters and the need to prove if he knew about the plot before the crime was committed.
They said that Mr Justice Hart had made no finding as to when Shivers had that knowledge.
The English soldiers were gunned down as they collected pizza outside the gates of the barracks. They were just hours away from deploying to Afghanistan. The Real IRA claimed responsibility.
High-profile republican Colin Duffy, from Lurgan, Co Armagh, was acquitted of the murder charges at the same trial that saw Shivers convicted at Antrim Crown Court last year and ordered to serve at least 25 years.
His appeal against additional convictions on six counts of attempted murder and one of possession of two firearms and ammunition with intent to endanger life was also allowed. He will face another trial on all the original counts.
Applying for the retrial, Crown barrister Terence Mooney QC said the defendant still had a case to answer.
He told the three Appeal Court judges: "We submit there remains a prima facie cases against this defendant."
He added: "We submit it's in the interest of justice that you may order a new trial."
Patrick O'Connor QC, appearing for Shivers, said Mr Justice Hart had rejected a number of mainstays of the prosecution case in the original trial, among them whether the attack car was seen near his in the hours before the shootings and claims his DNA was on the inside of a phone left in the car.
The barrister said "everything was up for grabs" at a new trial and claimed another judge could come to different conclusions on those issues.
If the judge did so, he contended, it would represent an "abuse of process".
"There's a risk of damage to the administration of justice," he said.
The lawyer further argued that the Court of Appeal ruling on the convictions meant that Shivers should have actually been acquitted at the trial.
He said it would therefore contravene an important legal principle to make him face a new trial.
"In effect we have the principle of double jeopardy at play here," he said.
He claimed the prosecution could have charged Shivers with assisting an offender at the first trial but had "gambled" and pursued a murder charge.
Mr O'Connor acknowledged there was a powerful public interest in a case involving such an "appalling" crime but he insisted ordering a new trial would damage fundamental principles of law.
But the judges rejected the defence submission, insisting that their decision to quash the original convictions was founded on issues relating to judicial direction.
They said the judge in the new trial could address any concerns over abuse of process.
Sir Declan said: "It's appropriate that there should be a retrial in this case and we so order one."
In response, Mr O'Connor asked the judges to approve a certificate that would have enabled him to apply to test the retrial ruling in the Supreme Court.
He said he wanted the higher court to consider whether it was lawful for the Court of Appeal to order a retrial in circumstances where the original trial judge had made an error of law which, he claimed, resulted in the wrong verdict being delivered.
The judges, which have to certify the terms of the question before it progresses to the Supreme Court, said they were not prepared to accept it in that form.
They said they would re-examine Mr O'Connor's request at a later date if he wanted to reformulate his challenge.
Mr Mooney later opposed bail on the grounds that there was a risk of flight and a possibility Shivers would get involved in dissident republican activity outside.
"If he was released into the community there would be a real and significant risk of his support for, and participation in, further offending," he said.
Mr O'Connor insisted his client was unable to flee the jurisdiction because he was entirely dependent on medical care provided in Northern Ireland.
He claimed Shivers was the longest surviving cystic fibrosis patient in the region and said provision for those with the condition in the Republic of Ireland was not up to standard.
"If Mr Shivers took a rush of blood to the head and went across the Irish border to hide there, frankly he would probably die there fairly quickly," he said.
Mr O'Connor said a prison environment was not appropriate for Shivers' condition, further claiming that he had lost 10% of his body weight and 30% lung capacity since he was jailed a year ago.
He said the Court of Appeal decision to quash the convictions meant he had a clear criminal record.
While the Appeal Court judges accepted that the risk of flight was unlikely they refused bail on the grounds that Shivers might commit offences and therefore presented a risk to the public.
They noted that his original trial demonstrated his potential involvement in at least assisting the gang that carried out the shootings.

- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1 small shallot, chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped dill
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped mint
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 boneless chicken breast halves, with skin (2 pounds)
- 2 medium yellow squash (1 pound), sliced crosswise on the diagonal 1/3 inch thick
- 2 medium zucchini (1 pound), sliced crosswise on the diagonal 1/3 inch thick
- 1/4 pound feta cheese, crumbled (1 cup)
In a blender, combine the lemon juice with the garlic, shallot, dill and mustard and puree until smooth. With the machine on, slowly pour in 6 tablespoons of the olive oil. Stir in the mint and season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. In a shallow bowl, coat the chicken with 1/2 cup of the vinaigrette. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the yellow squash and zucchini with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the squash and zucchini, turning once, until tender and slightly charred, about 3 minutes total. Transfer the vegetables to a platter and keep warm.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and grill over moderately high heat, turning once, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to the platter and sprinkle with the feta cheese. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette and serve.

(CNSNews.com) - The anti-war group MoveOn.org announced on Wednesday that it is launching an ad campaign against a Democrat -- calling attention to Rep. Brian Baird's support of "President Bush's failed policy in Iraq."
The Washington State Democrat is acting "against the views of his constituents" and against his previous voting record, the liberal group said.
"Congressman Baird's new position, in favor of keeping our troops in an un-winnable civil war in Iraq, is out of line with the majority of his district and the nation," said Nita Chaudhary of the MoveOn.org Political Action Committee, in an e-mail message that described the Democrat's shift on the issue as a "recent flip-flop."
"So far, this has been one of the bloodiest summers in Iraq, and voters don't want to continue down a failed path," Chaudhary added. "They want representatives who will stand up to President Bush's reckless policy and bring our troops home."
MoveOn.org's Web site mentions that last March, Rep. Baird voted with Democrats "to force Bush to bring troops home. Now he says he'll oppose timelines to bring our troops home from the un-winnable civil war in Iraq. We've got a new ad challenging Rep. Baird on his new support for the Iraq War."
The advertisement features John Bruhns, a U.S. Army infantry sergeant who describes an incident that happened while he was stationed in Baghdad in 2003 and 2004.
"One day, there was a riot in the Abu Ghraib market area," Bruhns says. "We had 2,000 people from the community protest our presence in their country. These were not terrorists."
"We were told that we were there to liberate these people," he states. "They were shooting at us.
"To keep American soldiers in Iraq for an indefinite period of time being attacked by an unidentifiable enemy is wrong, immoral and irresponsible," says Bruhns.
The ad concludes with the text: "Tell Rep. Baird: Support our troops. Bring them home."
A five-term congressman from Vancouver, Baird returned last week from a tour of Iraq with a different view of the four-year-old conflict there, as he described in an op-ed that ran in the Seattle Times on Aug. 24 under the title "A Reason for Hope in Iraq."
"The invasion of Iraq may be one of the worst foreign policy mistakes in the history of our nation," Baird wrote. "As tragic and costly as that mistake has been, a precipitous or premature withdrawal of our forces now has the potential to turn the initial errors into an even greater problem just as success looks possible. ...
"As a Democrat who voted against the war from the outset and who has been frankly critical of the administration and the post-invasion strategy, I am convinced by the evidence that the situation has at long last begun to change substantially for the better. ...
"I believe Iraq could have a positive future. ... Our diplomatic and military leaders in Iraq, their current strategy, and most importantly, our troops and the Iraqi people themselves deserve our continued support and more time to succeed."
Baird opined that the situation on the ground is improving in many important ways: "Regardless of one's politics or position on the invasion, this must be recognized and welcomed as good news."
Baird quoted a soldier as saying, "We have lost so many good people and invested so much, it just doesn't make sense to quit now when we're finally making progress." The soldier admitted that although he wants to go home, he also wants the missions to succeed -- and "I'm willing to do what it takes. I just want to know the people back home know we're making progress and support us.'"
Baird said he doesn't know what the September progress report from Gen. David Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker will contain, but he said he "trusts" them: "I have seen firsthand the progress they have made, and I firmly believe we must give them the time and resources they need to succeed."
Baird has paid a price for his new stance on Iraq. One left-wing blogger dubbed him "Dick Cheney's trained monkey." And the congressman admitted that his office has received "some angry calls" from constituents in the state's 3rd District.
Nevertheless, the congressman has managed to maintain his sense of humor. As Fox News reported Tuesday, Baird told reporters after a contentious town hall meeting in Vancouver: "Somebody said to me: 'Oh man, you're going to get killed tonight. I said: 'No, they get killed in Iraq. I'm going to get criticized.'"
As Cybercast News Service previously reported, Baird isn't MoveOn's only target regarding the war in Iraq.
Since mid-August, the group of liberal activists has been encouraging its members to lobby their senators and representatives to pledge support for a troop withdrawal before they return to Washington, D.C., in September.
Telephone calls by Cybercast News Service seeking the congressman's response to Wednesday's announcement were not returned by press time.

text: Have been meaning to try Sun's Kitchen (home of fresh, hand made noodles) for some time but finally managed to steer myself away from the bbq pork at Shark's Fin City to give it a try for lunch the other day. From the first mouthful I realized what I had been missing... so good! The owner stands at the front counter beating dough and pulling noodles to order, and my dish (stir fried with beef) was excellent and a deal at only $6.50. The noodles were tender and (of course) very fresh, and the tender/tasty braised beef was a perfect accompaniment as was the soy based sauce and stir fry veg. The whole experience screamed fresh with very clean/light flavours. I will most definitely be back again at lunch time... highly recommended.

Il Ristorante Rosi, NYCSeptember 12, 2013
Consider visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art on a Friday or Saturday late afternoon so that you can take the elevator up to an outdoor setting with panoramic breathtaking views of Manhattan. And did I mention there's also a martini bar? (That martini bar opens at 5:30 pm on Friday and Saturdays.) It's a perfect place to take a date, out-of-towners or Manhattanites who don't get out much. It's a romantic setting for sure.
After enjoying my martini, we headed for Il Ristorante Rosi, a nearby UES restaurant for dinner. The restaurant is part of a group with outposts in Paris, Parma and both sides of the city.
We started with a bottle of crisp Cortese Gavi di Gavi from Piedment (Rovereto, Ernestso Picollo, $36). That was where reasonable prices ended.
The food and service were good, but too pricey for what we got. I sampled half a Fourchu, Nova Scotia lobster poached in tomato water and served with vegetable crudite and tomatoes all in a red wine vinaigrette ($26). The crunchy vegetables provided too much of a contrast for the delicate lobster. The dish didn't work.
My dining partner ordered the delicate and flavorful vitello tonnato, with thinly sliced veal tenderloin in a tuna sauce flavored with lemon, basil and capers ($21). That did work.
The orecchiette con rapa e agnello ($22) — al dente little-ear pasta — with enough bitter broccoli rabe and crumbles of lamb sausage for a balanced flavor; all dusted pecorino romano. Also good were the roasted scallops capesante ($32) over balsamic-flavored Tuscan lentils in balsamic vinegar; yet too pricey at over $10 per scallop! The zucchini was flavorful, but a ridiculous price for a few slices of summer squash ($12).
Over all good, but the wasn't food was worth the price. That view from the rooftop at the Met, now that is priceless.
