O'Reilly attributed MSNBC's ratings drop to "karma" and "bad guys [getting] theirs," ignored sinking ratings for Fox News programs, including his own
Research ››› ››› ROB MORLINO
Bill O'Reilly attributed Gary Krantz's recent move to step down as president of Air America Radio and Rick Kaplan's decision to leave MSNBC to "karma" and "two bad guys [getting] theirs," saying, "Do bad things, you'll get yours eventually. Do good things, you'll get rewarded."
During the June 27 broadcast of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly asserted that the ratings of competing cable news network MSNBC are attributable to "karma," explaining, "Do bad things, you'll get yours eventually. Do good things, you'll get rewarded." Identifying former MSNBC president Rick Kaplan as one of the "bad guys who got theirs" and pointing out that MSNBC's ratings are "lower than they were six years ago," O'Reilly asserted that Kaplan "has left after pretty much destroying that place." However, O'Reilly did not mention, let alone assess the karmic implications of, the second quarter ratings of 2006 showing a drop in viewers for every show on his own Fox News Channel, including an eight-percent drop in total viewers for the Factor and an 11-percent drop in Factor viewers in the 25-54 demographic. From Mediabistro's TV Newser weblog:
Fox News Channel lost viewers across the board in the second quarter of 2006. The network dropped 19 percent in the demo and 5 percent among total viewers compared to the same quarter in 2005. The quarter-to-quarter drops are also notable, and they're demonstrated in the chart below.
"Early prime" programs were the biggest losers. Your World and Big Story are down 15 percent in the demo. Special Report is down 24 percent. Fox Report is down 19 percent. The total viewer losses are almost as bad.
Quarter-to-quarter numbers can and do fluctuate. But the fact that every program, from 7am to 11pm, lost viewers in the second quarter helps explain why Roger Ailes is on the warpath.
From the June 27 broadcast of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
O'REILLY: Time now for the "most ridiculous item of the day." If you've read any of my books, you know I believe in karma: Do bad things, you'll get yours eventually. Do good things, you'll be rewarded. Recently, two bad guys got theirs. Air America has fired its president, Gary Krantz. The disastrous radio network booted him out on the heels of the removal of CEO Danny Goldberg. We believe there is major chaos at that far left concern. There's also major chaos at MSNBC, where Rick Kaplan has left after pretty much destroying that place. He did the same thing at CNN before he got fired over there. Closing in on its 10th anniversary, MSNBC's ratings are lower than they were six years ago, which might be ridiculous.

Hi Hattie,
The Frontier House was on TV here in England last year, I watched the whole
series and thought it pretty good, although I didnt think those people were
going to last the course, and one couple even ended up with a divorce! I
think pioneering in the American West must have been an even harder life
than that of our own ag labs at the time.

Three Days Grace Vs. Adam Gontier: The Saga Continues
When Three Days Grace and Adam Gontier parted ways, the given reason was a "health issue."
That was clearly a lie.
Adam Gontier did not want to be in Three Days Grace, anymore. It is that simple. Since his departure from the band was announced in January, Gontier has posted a few rants on his Facebook and Twitter pages regarding his decision.
(Check out photos from the band's Carolina Rebellion performance)
On Monday night, he posted a particularly lengthy rant on his Facebook page. Gontier planned on sharing new material with fans, but was unable to do so. What began as an apology for not sharing new music turned into a vicious rant against Three Days Grace and the demands of the "life of a rockstar." He repeated various thoughts from earlier posts, specifically about playing music for the love of it. Gontier explains:
"I don't mean the 'life of a rockstar'., I don't mean the endless amounts demands that you will always get when you are 'successful'., I don't mean the money, the hotel rooms, the parties, the kiss ass DJ's, the gophers that get you toilet paper on your demand, the going to the after party club in a limo and being the one, (you think), everyone is looking at."
Gontier has been performing with a new band and is apparently happy to live outside of the demands of Three Days Grace.
Saturday, at Carolina Rebellion, Three Days Grace said that they are taking the "high road." It's a phrase they have used before regarding the situation and Gontier takes issue with it. He rants:
"They /choose to take the high road'..., If you feel a need to tell people again and again that you're taking the 'high road'.., I'm sorry, but truth is, you're already ON the low road. When you feel as though you have to tell, and explain to thousands of people on a daily basis, that you're a good person, chances are... you're not."
My Darkest Days singer Matt Walst, brother of bassist Brad Walst, has filled in as the band's new lead singer. At Carolina Rebellion, we were told that Matt had contributed to the writing of a few new songs.
But, the band refuses to say that Matt is the official new lead singer of Three Days Grace.
We believe that the three remaining members of Three Days Grace are open to bring Adam back into the band. If they weren't, they'd make Matt their new lead singer or be actively searching for a full-time replacement.
In his Monday night rant, Gontier says he will not return to Three Days Grace, "If you truly believe that I will return to that band, you haven't really listened to what I've said, and you need to accept what happened, and move forward. Easier said than done... I am constantly working on becoming the best person that I can be, and moving forward and not focusing on the past is hard to do, but also very necessary, when things change."
This still is not over.

The terms "drug addiction," and "drug dependence" have become cliché in the way many of us describe people who engage in the use and misuse of banned substances. But how do we call an individual who's not in any of those categories, but nonetheless suffer in drug-related behaviors?
In the book Almost Addicted: Is My (or My Loved One's) Drug Use a Problem?, Dr. J. Wesley "Wes" Boyd gives readers a better understanding about what "almost addicted" is all about and why it should be a cause of concern, just like substance addiction or dependence.
Luckily, TestCountry was able to recently  interview Dr. Boyd who provided us brief details about the term "almost addicted" and his stand on prescription drug abuse. He also offered steps family members or friends can take to help someone who they believe is abusing prescription drugs.
"It is the norm rather than the exception that the individual using and/or abusing drugs thinks that his drug use is not causing any problems whatsoever. Nonetheless, the fact is that even casual drug use can create significant problems for vulnerable individuals….," Dr. Boyd said.
Dr. Boyd is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, teaching medical ethics and the humanities. He is also a staff psychiatrist at Boston Children's Hospital (BCH) and at Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) . He is the co-founder and co-director of the Human Rights and Asylum Clinic at CHA and works in the Adolescent Substance Abuse Program at BCH.

Someone tell Beck: If Soros was infected by the Fabian Society, so was Hayek
One of Glenn Beck's favorite bogeymen is billionaire speculator George Soros, who he claims [1] is in the process of orchestrating the complete collapse of the American dollar. But it's not enough for Beck to simply accuse Soros of supervillainy; he needs to smear all other progressives in the process. And so Beck leads viewers down another chain [2] of questionable reasoning to argue that Soros is a disciple of the nefarious "Fabian Socialists [3]" who he says [4] invented progressivism. Here's how Beck explained the connection on his Fox News show tonight:
In 1895, four people -- four Fabians -- started the London School of Economics. It is where the Fabian Society's stained glass window now resides. It is a school where, years later, all the way down here in 1949, a Hungarian named George Soros would enroll. He would graduate, and learn a lot there. He would eventually move to New York and build a massive financial portfolio with what he learned.
Beck is correct that four members of the Fabian Society founded the London School of Economics -- it says as much on the school's official website [5]. But if "Fabian socialism" is as contagious as Beck says, look who else has been infected.
A list of notable socialists who attended the London School of Economics:
- Sir Keith Murdoch [6], Publisher of the Adelaide News, and father of Rupert Murdoch, CEO of Fox News' parent company
- Walter Bern [7], Resident Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute
- Elliott Abrams [8], Assistant Secretary of State for the Reagan Administration; Senior Director of the National Security Council for the Bush Administration
- Michael Chertoff [9], Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security for the Bush Administration
- Colm Connolly [10], United States Attorney under the Bush Administration
- Ed Feulner [11], President of the Heritage Foundation
- William Gale [12], Council of Economic Advisors for the Bush Administration
- Anthony Kennedy [13], Supreme Court Justice
- Rep. Mark Kirk [14] (R-IL)
- Richard Perle [15], Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Reagan Administration; Chairman of Defense Department Advsory Committee for the Bush Administration; fellow, American Enterprise Institute
Incidentally, Fox's own Stuart Varney [16] -- last seen echoing [17] Beck's economic doomsaying -- is also a graduate of the London School of Economics.
And Friedrich Hayek -- whose book, The Road to Serfdom, Beck has heavily promoted [18] on his program -- taught at the London School of Economics. There he lectured alongside political philosopher Karl Popper, with whom he co-founded the libertarian think tank known as The Mont Pelerin Society [19]. Why mention Popper? Because he instructed [20] a young student by the name of George Soros, who once wrote [21] that Popper's words "struck me with the force of revelation."

|Amgen And AstraZeneca Announce Positive Results From Third And Final Pivotal Phase 3 Study Of Brodalumab In Patients With Moderate-To-Severe Plaque Psoriasis
Results showed that 44.4 percent of patients in the brodalumab 210 mg group, 33.6 percent of patients in the brodalumab weight-based group, 25.7 percent of patients in the brodalumab 140 mg group, 21.7 percent of patients in the Stelara group and 0.6 percent of patients in the placebo group achieved total clearance of skin disease (PASI 100). In addition, 86.3 percent of patients in the brodalumab 210 mg group, 77.0 percent of patients in the brodalumab weight-based group, 66.6 percent of patients in the brodalumab 140 mg group, 70.0 percent of patients in the Stelara group and 8.1 percent of patients in the placebo group achieved PASI 75.
"Results from AMAGINE-2 underscore that treatment with brodalumab could help a significant number of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis patients achieve total clearance of their skin disease, and the great majority achieve at least a 75 percent improvement in their disease," said
All key secondary endpoints comparing brodalumab with placebo were met. The first key secondary endpoint comparing PASI 100 for brodalumab (140 mg) with Stelara at week 12 was numerically greater but not statistically significant (p=0.078). The remaining secondary endpoints against Stelara were also numerically greater (all nominal p-values were less than 0.05), but could not be deemed statistically significant due to the sequential testing method.
The most common adverse events that occurred in the brodalumab groups (more than 5 percent of patients in either group) were common cold, upper respiratory tract infection, headache and joint pain. Serious adverse events occurred in 1.0 percent of patients in the 210 mg group, 1.2 percent of patients in the weight-based group, and 2.1 percent of patients in the 140 mg group compared with 1.3 percent for Stelara and 2.6 percent for placebo during the placebo-controlled period. There was one (0.2 percent) fatal event of stroke in the brodalumab 210 mg group during the 12-week placebo-controlled induction phase, deemed by the study investigator as unrelated to treatment.
Brodalumab is the only investigational treatment in development that binds to the interleukin-17 (IL-17) receptor and inhibits inflammatory signaling by blocking the binding of several IL-17 cytokines (A, F and A/F) to the receptor. The IL-17 receptor and cytokine family play a central role in development and clinical manifestations of plaque psoriasis.
"These results confirm our belief that targeting the IL-17 receptor to inhibit inflammatory signaling can have significant benefit for psoriasis patients," said
The AMAGINE program is comprised of three pivotal Phase 3 studies designed to assess the efficacy and safety of brodalumab in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Top-line results from AMAGINE-1TM, comparing brodalumab with placebo, were released in
AMAGINE-2 Study Design
The study began with a 12-week, double-blind, active comparator- and placebo-controlled induction phase, where patients were randomized in a 2:2:1:1 ratio to receive brodalumab (210 mg or 140 mg), Stelara (per the labeled dose), or placebo. At week 12, patients originally randomized to either brodalumab arm were re-randomized 2:2:2:1 into the maintenance phase to receive brodalumab 210 mg or 140 mg at four different maintenance regimens. Patients originally randomized to Stelara continued to receive the same treatment, and those originally randomized to receive placebo began 210 mg of brodalumab every two weeks.
At week 52, patients entered the long-term extension portion of the study, and those who were originally randomized to receive Stelara began receiving 210 mg of brodalumab every two weeks. All other patients continued on treatment with brodalumab at the same dose they were being treated with at week 52. Patients may be enrolled in the study for up to 271 weeks (approximately five years).
A PASI score is a measure of psoriatic plaque redness, scaling and thickness and the extent of involvement in each region of the body. Treatment efficacy is often measured by the reduction of PASI from baseline (e.g., a 75 percent reduction is known as PASI 75, a 90 percent reduction is known as PASI 90 and PASI 100 is total clearance of skin disease).
sPGA is a physician's rating of psoriasis severity at a given point in time based on plaque, scaling and redness. A physician can rate a patient's psoriasis as clear (0), almost clear (1), mild (2), moderate (3), severe (4), or very severe (5).

Forward-Looking Statements
No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those we project. Discovery or identification of new product candidates or development of new indications for existing products cannot be guaranteed and movement from concept to product is uncertain; consequently, there can be no guarantee that any particular product candidate or development of a new indication for an existing product will be successful and become a commercial product. Further, preclinical results do not guarantee safe and effective performance of product candidates in humans. The complexity of the human body cannot be perfectly, or sometimes, even adequately modeled by computer or cell culture systems or animal models. The length of time that it takes for us and our partners to complete clinical trials and obtain regulatory approval for product marketing has in the past varied and we expect similar variability in the future. We develop product candidates internally and through licensing collaborations, partnerships and joint ventures. Product candidates that are derived from relationships may be subject to disputes between the parties or may prove to be not as effective or as safe as we may have believed at the time of entering into such relationship. Also, we or others could identify safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with our products after they are on the market. Our business may be impacted by government investigations, litigation and product liability claims. If we fail to meet the compliance obligations in the corporate integrity agreement between us and the U.S. government, we could become subject to significant sanctions. We depend on third parties for a significant portion of our manufacturing capacity for the supply of certain of our current and future products and limits on supply may constrain sales of certain of our current products and product candidate development.
In addition, sales of our products (including products of our wholly-owned subsidiaries) are affected by the reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payers, including governments, private insurance plans and managed care providers and may be affected by regulatory, clinical and guideline developments and domestic and international trends toward managed care and healthcare cost containment as well as U.S. legislation affecting pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement. Government and others' regulations and reimbursement policies may affect the development, usage and pricing of our products. In addition, we compete with other companies with respect to some of our marketed products as well as for the discovery and development of new products. We believe that some of our newer products, product candidates or new indications for existing products, may face competition when and as they are approved and marketed. Our products may compete against products that have lower prices, established reimbursement, superior performance, are easier to administer, or that are otherwise competitive with our products. In addition, while we and our partners routinely obtain patents for our and their products and technology, the protection of our products offered by patents and patent applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by our or our partners' competitors and there can be no guarantee of our or our partners' ability to obtain or maintain patent protection for our products or product candidates. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to produce commercially successful products or maintain the commercial success of our existing products. Our stock price may be affected by actual or perceived market opportunity, competitive position, and success or failure of our products or product candidates. Further, the discovery of significant problems with a product similar to one of our products that implicate an entire class of products could have a material adverse effect on sales of the affected products and on our business and results of operations. Our efforts to integrate the operations of companies we have acquired may not be successful. Cost savings initiatives may result in us incurring impairment or other related charges on our assets. We may experience difficulties, delays or unexpected costs and not achieve anticipated benefits and savings from our recently announced restructuring plans. Our business performance could affect or limit the ability of our Board of Directors to declare a dividend or our ability to pay a dividend or repurchase common stock.

A few days ago, I posted an entry where I pointed out that two Network Solutions DNS servers were returning incorrect answers for non-authoritative domains. Matt Ho, a representative for Network Solutions posted two comments on that post stating that they weren't hacked, and that they were configured to return incorrect answers. He noted that Sedo, the domain parking company, and GoDaddy also do this, and that these servers are not meant to be resolvers. He was very gracious, and even noted that "We've debated time and time again internally about both whether this type of practice is ethical and appropriate." I humbly suggest that it is neither.
Then, this post appeared on Network Solutions' website, also stating these claims. The author says that I got it wrong:
"We respect InfoWorld and Paul, but it's important to research and confirm the facts before simply stating an opinion. And in this case throwing the word hacked out there without proper homework seemed a little off kilter and unnecessarily causes false alarms when there is no need for them."
Note that I posted a comment to that page several days ago, but that comment has not appeared on the page as of this writing.
The post I published asked a question in the title: "Network Solutions DNS Servers hacked already?", and was posted a day after the DNS bug "hit". In that post, I stated
"I was just hipped to the fact that two DNS servers apparently operated by Network Solutions aren't returning valid results for some domains, notably www.google.com:"
I then pasted raw nslookup and whois output showing that querying those servers for 'www.google.com' returned incorrect responses, and they were part of Network Solution's network.
If you're going to purposefully violate RFCs and configure your nameservers to knowingly return incorrect information, then you cannot complain when someone points this out. My post contained absolutely correct information -- those nameservers aren't returning valid results. This practice may be used by other companies, but that obviously doesn't make it right. I seem to recall my mother saying something about all my friends jumping off a bridge...

text: WATER QUALITY--Electrodes for pH measurement in low-conductivity waters In Reply Refer To: February 10, 1981 EGS-Mail Stop 412 QUALITY OF WATER BRANCH TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM NO. 81.08 Subject: WATER QUALITY--Electrodes for pH measurement in low-conductivity waters As pointed out in Quality of Water Branch Technical Memorandum 80.19, the procedures and equipment needed to obtain an accurate pH value are more exacting for samples with very low specific conductances than for samples with higher specific conductances. At specific conductances below about 70 mhos, many instrument- electrode systems give erroneous readings. Recent tests with several different pH electrodes and instruments, and evaluations of their precision when used to measure pH in low-conductivity waters, have suggested that the electrode is the critical component. Many manufacturers are now supplying electrodes designed for low conductivity waters. Some electrodes not so designed seem to work well also. Following is a list of electrodes that have been either claimed by the manufacturer to work well in low conductivity waters or tested by personnel in the Division and found to work well. Corning Glass Works 476182 * Plastic barrel 476223 Semi-micro, combination glass Orion Research 91-62 * combination glass with KCl/KN03 solution Sargent-Welch S-30072-15 * General purpose electrode Leeds ~ Northrup 117493 Meredian, KCl gel combination * Tested by Division personnel. Any instrument used must have slope compensation and temperature compensation, and be accurate to at least 0.05 pH units. Although most general-purpose portable pH meters are suitable, the better grade meters usually provide a more stable measurement. Electrodes designed for low-conductlvity waters are not as resistant to physical shock or exposure to strong chemicals as are the electrodes customarily used in the field and can be easily damaged by improper treatment. To protect the electrodes follow these guidelines in addition to the procedures given in Memo 80.19: l) store the electrodes in deionized water or covered with a cap containing deionized water; do not use KCl solution or buffer for storage; 2) do not expose the electrodes to strongly acidic or alkaline solution, or to very high-conductivity waters; 3) restrict use of the electrodes to waters with conductivities less than 200 umhos. You will recognize that the buffers used for calibration are high- conductivity solutions. Use of buffers for calibration is the single exception to the guidelines. Efforts are continuing to develop suitable standards in dilute acids for use in the field. We advise offices that are or may be making pH measurements in low-conductivity waters such as precipitation to select their equipment carefully, then dedicate it solely for this purpose. By so doing, much time will be saved and more reliable results will be obtained. R. J. Pickering Chief, Quality of Water Branch WRD Distribution: A, 8, S, FO, PO Key words: water quality, equipment, field measurements, pH, precipitation This memorandum supersedes no previous memorandum. This memorandum supplements Quality of Water Branch Technical Memorandum 80.19.

Watchdog's alarm calls for response
Page Tools
Public alarm about links between gangland killings and corrupt police eventually persuaded the State Government to give Ombudsman George Brouwer extraordinary new powers in May last year.
The murders of Terence and Christine Hodson had raised serious questions about the safety of witnesses, as did the leaking of a police document that Tony Fitzgerald was called in to investigate. \
The first inquiry Mr Brouwer initiated as director of police integrity was a review of the witness protection program. The report, tabled in Parliament this week, notes that the Hodsons refused to join the program, that it is "basically sound" and was reviewed last year by Victoria Police.
It still identifies serious limitations. The report finds that resources and funding are inadequate to meet demands on the program created by current police investigations.
Its 29 recommendations include important policy and procedural changes. The costs would be modest "in the context of the overall police budget", Mr Brouwer writes.
Any failings in witness protection strike at the heart of civil order and justice. As the report states at the outset, "it is broadly true to say: 'no witness: no prosecution'."
The Office of Police Integrity cites concerns that corrupt police and organised crime figures regard threats and intimidation to discourage witnesses from appearing, or to influence testimony, "as a standard weapon in their anti-social armoury".
The broad reach of organised crime lends urgency to its call for governments to co-operate on national and international witness protection schemes.
The report also laments the lack of a secondary tier of systematic arrangements to protect witnesses from a range of other threats. Intimidation need not result in death or be life-threatening to have its effect, but the current program applies only to witnesses facing high-level threats.
Citing reports of police "stacking" court seating when colleagues face charges of corruption, the report recommends an inquiry into witness intimidation. Security at all courts is also found wanting.
With their increased powers, Mr Brouwer and Police Commissioner Christine Nixon have done much to combat organised crime and police corruption.
Yet, the report warns, "the community could be lulled into a false sense of security that the recent spate of violence is over.
Criminals, their families and associates have long memories and a further cycle of violence and vengeance can be expected in future if nothing is done". The onus is on the Government to act on this report.

Moles are a small spattering of cells that are usually a dark color such as brown or light brown, and they are usually benign. However depending on where the skin mole is situated it can often be more of a problem, for example if the mole is on an awkward spot on the face or neck and is scraped or bumped around very often. This can create a problem and prompt someone to seek a remedy for the removal of the skin lesion. Before you go to the trouble of medical assistance try out these natural remedies.
Since there is no danger with most moles, they are usually safe to remove at home, but, first make sure that it is not something dangerous. If the lesion which appears to be a mole is growing dramatically or changes shape and color in a quick period of time, than it might be something more dangerous than a regular mole and you should get medical treatment.
Here are some options for mole removal at home that have been passed down through out the years that are tested and true ways to find relief from your mole removal problem. These are safe to try for yourself.
Tea Tree Oil
This is used in a wide variety of skin care products, in this method you add this oil directly onto your mole, massage it in and leave it to sit over night. You should repeat this every day for about a seven to ten days.
Castor Oil
Apply the castor oil onto your mole, making sure not to touch the skin around the mole itself. Repeat this for two to three weeks and the mole will eventually shrink and disappear.
Baking Soda
When you use baking soda it is vital that you remember not to use baking powder or caustic soda. First you must clean the area with soap and warm water then you can dry the area gently. Next you want to use an emery board to scratch up the top of your mole, which is going to allow the baking soda to do its work.
Mix a tiny bit of water together with the baking soda and this will form a paste, put this on the mole itself and then cover it through out the night. Make sure to repeat this daily to get a good result. Do not worry if your skin tingles in the are where the baking soda is doing it's work, this is normal.

Bloodroot is an alkaloid that is used in a lot of wart removal creams. Make sure to cleanse the mole and the skin around it before you apply the bloodroot paste. Remember to put this mixture only on the lesion and not on the surrounding skin area.
- How to make the paste? http://behealthy24.com/moles/bloodroot-removal/
Flax Seeds
After grounding your flax seeds into a fine powder you can mix it with flax seed oil and honey which will turn it into a paste that you can apply to your mole a few times a day.
This is an extremely simple and surprising way to remove moles. One you have a piece of garlic that has been cut you rub it over your mole every day until you have the desired effect.
- Detailed instructions here: http://behealthy24.com/moles/garlic-removal/
Apple Cider Vinegar
This is a wonderful natural remedy for a number of skin issues, and with the skin mole it is very simple. All you do is take a bit of apple cider vinegar onto to the skin mole using a cotton ball. Leave this for 15 minutes and then use warm water to rinse it off. You can do this several times through out the day, and in about a week you should have the desired results.
Onion Juice
Chop an onion and leave it in a container with salt over night, this will give you the onion juice. You then apply the onion juice to your skin mole in the evening, then cover it. In the morning rinse it with warm water, and repeat the process until the mole has fallen off.
There are a lot more methods for mole removal at home to try such as dandelion root, pineapple, milkweed, fig juice, Vitamin C, Tincture of Iodine, Coriander, Potatoes, Cashew fruit, Cauliflower Juice, Radish, aloe vera, white chalk and honey.

Family of ´collaborator´ demands justice (JERUSALEM POST) By KHALED ABU TOAMEH 01/27/05)
Source: http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1106848121980
JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
The family of a mentally retarded Palestinian man who was tortured to death earlier this month on charges of "collaboration" with Israel is demanding that the Palestinian Authority launch an investigation into the case and bring the murderers to trial.
The Jerusalem-based Palestinian Human Rights Monitoring Group has also called for an inquiry into the murder, which was carried out by Fatah gunmen belonging to the Aqsa Martyrs Brigades militia.
Mohammad Noubani, a 36-year-old father of three from the village of Deir Ghassaneh near Ramallah, was kidnapped by Fatah gunmen in mid- January on suspicion that he was a "collaborator" with Israel.
According to testimonies collected by the human rights group, Noubani´s hands were tied to his back and he was hung naked on an olive branch. He was tortured sadistically and forced to admit that he was a "collaborator."
It said Noubani was beaten severely and the kidnappers extinguished cigarettes on his body. After the gunmen tortured him for two days, they left him half dead. Noubani was transferred to a hospital in Ramallah, where he was pronounced dead, the group said.
Noubani left behind a wife, three young children and ailing parents. His family was not only deeply hurt by the gruesome murder, but was also disgraced by pamphlets issued by the Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, which claimed that Noubani was a "traitor."
However, the assailants later issued another leaflet clearing Noubani of the charges.
The victim´s children have since refused to go to school for fear of being sneered by their peers. The family is refusing to bury the body in an attempt to put pressure on the PA to take action against the culprits.
"We believe it is very important that the accusation of collaboration and torture of Noubani is investigated thoroughly so that his name is cleared," the human rights group added.
It pointed out that 99 suspected "collaborators" have been murdered since the beginning of the intifada more than four years ago. Another 200 Palestinians were killed by various armed groups for crime- related reasons.
"We urgently call upon the PA and especially upon Mr. [Mahmoud] Abbas as the newly elected president to pay serious attention to the internal chaos and killings of Palestinians by their own brothers and in particular to this specific case," the group said.
"Torture should be prevented at all times and it is essential that cases of torture are investigated in depth and that perpetrators are punished accordingly. The PA must put a halt to torture and killings of suspected collaborators within Palestinian society.
"We urge the PA to investigate the horrible death of Noubani and to adhere to the rule of law. What makes this case even more inhuman and tragic was that the victim was suffering from a mental disorder and was therefore unable to completely defend himself against allegations of collaboration with Israel."

Perion Network Ltd. (PERI) is an interesting situation that provides rapid growth and a reasonable valuation in an attractive, high margin niche. The company provides consumer software for both the desktop and increasingly mobile devices and tablets. The company's flagship product Incredimail is email software that extends traditional email with backgrounds, integrated images, and emoticons and also provides a single aggregation point with web email products like Gmail and yahoo mail. Incredimail operates on a fremium model. The basic version is free and ad supported but users can purchase a premium version, which removes the ads and unlocks some additional features. More interesting is the Smilebox product acquired in August 2011. Smilebox is a photo sharing and decorating tool for the desktop and IPhone. There are 15 million total Smilebox users and the recently launched IPhone version has about 400,000 installs in the first year. Smilebox earns revenue on multi-tiered subscription model.
The company earns money overwhelmingly from an ad search partnership with Google and to a lesser degree from product subscriptions and sales. Search generally involves setting up custom home pages in the browser that integrates Google search when Incredimail is installed. As of today search represents about 70% of the company's revenues with product revenues making up most of the remainder.
If you look at surface numbers based on the trailing 12 months PERI may not appear that attractive (as of this writing).
- EV/Ebitda 11.3
- Market cap 69 million
- Price to book 2
Underneath the numbers things look considerably better. Prior to the Smilebox acquisition PERI was getting almost all of its revenue from a very mature Incredimail product whose viral growth rate was tapering off. Starting in Q3 of last year the company began an active customer acquisition campaign (CAC) to acquire new users. Since PERI operates on a recurring revenue stream the payoff for these campaigns occurs over an extended period, meaning the costs are upfront and the payoffs are spread out.
If you look at Q3 of 2011 when the campaign started the company earned a mere $20,000 vs 2.2 million in Q2 of 2011, however it spent 2.6 million on its CAC efforts. Normalizing that out Q3 was similar to Q2. Since then it has continued the campaign increasing the spending to 3.9 million dollars in the most recent quarter. What is striking is the revenue and earnings are slowly catching up with the costs of this spending.
Revenue in millions
Operating income in millions
What is notable here is the significant improvement in operating earnings and sales over this time period. What is even more significant is Q2 of 2012 showed a sequential 119% improvement in operating income despite a huge sequential increase in CAC spending from 2.6 million in Q1 to 3.9 million in Q2. Since the benefits of these efforts are seen over a period of quarters they should see further top and bottom line benefits in the quarters ahead. In fact the company just raised guidance for the second half of 2012. It is now expecting EBITDA of 12 million dollars and EPS of 9 million dollars or .90 per share for 2012. Considering it is in a high margin software business and growing quite rapidly these numbers would make the business look quite cheap especially for a company that has grown the topline 50% and the bottom line 600% in 3 quarters. In addition to the earnings power implied above the company already has a solid balance sheet with 16.3 million dollars in cash only 7.7 million dollars in debt and book value of roughly 3.40 per share. While there is no company with precisely the same business model PERI's valuation does compare favorably with other similar companies like Blucora (NASDAQ:BCOR) and AVG Technologies (NYSE:AVG).
With all of that there are of course a couple of important business risks worth noting. The business model is still heavily dependent on Google search. That does leave it vulnerable to changes Google may make to adsense. It also has a contract with Google, which will expire in 2013, to provide search. There is no reason to believe the contract would not be renewed but it is of course possible and a risk that should be weighed. The other high-level risk is similar to the risk Facebook has. The company's market will be transitioning to tablets and phones. That means Perion will have to move with it. The company is already in the process of doing so with a tablet email client planned for release in Q3 but the real challenge will be in monetizing that as effectively as it monetized Incredimail on the desktop.
All that said I think this is an attractive and interesting play. Guidance has been raised twice now in the last month with current projections for 12 million in EBITDA and 9 million in net income for 2012. In a world where Instagram is worth a billion dollars buying a company with millions of registered users that is making real money and trading for a reasonable valuation and a 70 million dollar market cap doesn't seem like a bad deal.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, but may initiate a long position in PERI over the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

President Obama used some of the harshest rhetoric of his term today in denouncing the Republican jobs plan, saying the GOP's emphasis on less regulations would harm the environment, undercut health care and fail to produce necessary jobs in the short term.
"You got their plan, which is let's have dirtier air, dirtier water, (and) less people with health insurance," Obama said in kicking off a three-day bus tour at the airport in Asheville, N.C.
Obama -- promoting his own $447 billion jobs bill, which includes infrastructure projects and tax breaks to encourage hiring, citing "independent economists" as saying his plan would create almost 2 million jobs and grow the economy by as much as 2%.
Obama said, "So one of the same economists that took a look at our plan took a look at the Republican plan, and they said, 'Well, this won't do much to help the economy in the short term. It could actually cost us jobs.'"
The GOP calls its proposal "the Real American Jobs Act," drawing derision from Obama.
"It turns out the Republican plan boils down to a few basic ideas," Obama said. "They want to gut regulations. They want to let Wall Street do whatever it wants. They want to drill more. And they want to repeal health care reform. ... That's their jobs plan."
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and other Republicans said their proposal will improve the economic environment and make it easier for employers to hire people.
GOP members have likened Obama's plan to the 2009 stimulus, which they said has done little or nothing to stem an unemployment rate that is at 9.1%.
"Congress has passed just about everything the president has asked for in the past, and the unemployment rate is still 9.1%," said Brendan Buck, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
In his North Carolina speech, Obama said he is prepared to work with congressional Republicans, "if they're serious about jobs."
Though Obama aides described the bus tour as a policy event, not a political one, the crowd began chanting, "Four more years."
Obama said, "I appreciate the four more years," but "right now, I'm thinking about the next 13 months" in terms of unemployed Americans.
"We don't have time to wait," he said.

In all cases, please make sure to read and understand the deletion policy before editing this page.
Deletion rationale Edit
This page, along with 18 classic traits of a sociopath, Psychosis, and the additions to Brain (including "Megalomania", "Monomania", and "Nymphomania") all seem irrelevant to Trek and filled with lots of personal and original research. Are they even relevant to Star Trek at all? -- sulfur 14:30, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
Discussion Edit
18 classic traits of a sociopath and sociopathy don't belong. The psychosis is a copyvio and posted here, it has a number of links to the page and simply requires a rewrite. --Alan 17:43, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. "Most definitely" and "possibly tilted" both mean that Khan and Garth were not called that, so the Sociopathy article should go. The other article definitely needs to go, as it is original research.--31dot 19:33, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
- I forgot to mention that I agree Psychosis merely needs to be rewritten.--31dot 13:16, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Admin resolution Edit
- Deleted. --Alan 12:57, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Avgolemono <—- I have NO idea how to pronounce that.Our cooking project for this week! Avgolemono – Greek Egg & Lemon Soup It was not very appealing to the eye but it was to the tummy! It reminded me of egg drop soup, flavor wise. We paired this with a Greek salad. As Haden and I say when we are excited, "What! What!!!" I think this may have been my favorite so far. I can see myself making this one again. We learned…. Greece is made up of a mainland peninsula and 2,000 islands. They are famous for olives, which have grown in Greece for over 2,000 years. The highest point in Greece is Mount Olympus. It was thought to be the home of gods in ancient times. And "Hello" in Greek is "Kalimera". There is your mini Greek lesson of the day.... read more

SachertorteThis was the most pain in the ass cooking project yet! 😛 Good thing the internet was down all day so I had ample time and no distractions to get it done. The final product didn't taste too bad either. It was thicker than a brownie and pretty rich. I highly doubt I will eat any more of it. Sachertorte is a cake from Austria. It was first made by a cook named Franz Sacher, who made it for an Austrian prince. Austria is famous for the Vienna Boys Choir and Lipizzaner horses, which are pure white horses that perform in shows in Vienna. They speak German there and "Hello" is "BruB Gott", which is pronounced groose gott. Go figure… So maybe I didn't love the cake but I did try something new for dinner & I did LOVE it. Super yum. It will definitely make it onto my dinner menu in the future. It is bok choy & green beans stir fried & covered in a teriyaki tofu dressing, served on top of jasmine rice. Oh and toped with sautéed sliced onions. The most exciting part of the whole dinner was that I made the rice in my new Rice Cooker Plus that I earned for FREE from hosting a Pampered Chef party at my house. The rice was perfect and it took 10 minutes to cook. That is almost as exciting as the 8 minute cake. Almost. I haven't shared this with anyone other than my husband yet but I do believe I am going to make a cook book sometime in the future. I have no definite plans for when I am going to start but it is something I would really like to do. I cook. A LOT. And I am always trying new stuff and the things I try I generally change to make it better, per my opinion. 😛 My friend, Karen wrote a cookbook. One of my favorites! And she self-published it. So I am going to aspire to try and do one myself. One day. Michael bought Haden a new piggie bank that talks and adds up the money put into it so Haden can see what he is putting in and how much it is. It is pretty cool. So now he is getting an allowance. Oh, he is so grown up. 25 cents a day, unless he does something exceptional to lose it. He is quite excited about it.... read more

Homemade Baby Food Maker :PSO… although I have been reluctant to continue down the path of being a homemade baby food maker, mostly from laziness… 😛 I decided to keep pushing forward and gave making pears a try again. That time I actually cooked them long enough so they pureed just fine. Then I thought… this isn't so bad if when you get done the food is actually edible. Today I made butternut squash puree. I was surprised at how tough it is to cut through a butternut squash. lol. It isn't something I have ever tried making before. I wasn't even sure how to cook it so I had to Google. LOVE that Google. You cook it in the pan with the "meat" facing down in about an inch or 2 of water. Then I just scooped it out with a spoon and tossed it in the blender. Addison made little happy noises while she ate some so I guess that means she likes it! Spooned it into my ice trays and then froze it. Easy Peasy. My friends did tell me so. 😛 Michael is off right now picking up Haden's very first bed! I am so excited. I know he is going to be thrilled when he wakes up in the morning and sees it. Hopefully that will inspire him to actually sleep in it. My fingers are crossed. I can't wait to take him shopping to pick out his "big boy" bedding for his new bed. Oh, and Addsion has her first tooth coming in! Looks like the one right next to it will be making an appearance soon as well.... read more

Tennessee Basketball: Bruce Pearl, Vols Still Riding HighJanuary 18, 2010
Despite the recent spate of headlines involving uproar and turmoil in the football program, Tennessee's basketball team is still riding a wave of emotion and stellar play.
In the most recent version of proof that Tennessee is still a football school, the basketball team's gigantic win over the No. 1 team in the country quickly took a backseat to the Lane Kiffin saga just two days after that thrilling victory.
At a time when college basketball is just hitting its stride nationally, football rears its expensive head and shows that it is tops in Knoxville and in most of the SEC (Lexington, Ky., being the obvious exception).
Sure, National Signing Day is just two weeks away, and anytime your head coach spends a year with constant media attention before bolting to a program like USC after one season, the news will be decidedly in favor of that incident.
I will say, however, it's high time someone began recognizing Tennessee as a two-sport school rather than a "football school" or a "basketball school."
Florida made the trek into this territory a few years ago when its basketball team won two consecutive national titles. The second title coincided with the football team's first of two national championships.
While the Vols football team has not won a title of any sort in almost 12 years, its basketball team won the SEC outright once and played in the finals of the SEC tournament last season.
This in addition to the BasketVols playing into the Sweet 16 twice and beating up on that two-time national champion Florida team many times along the way.
This season has been a remarkable story for Bruce Pearl's Vols. With the loss of four key players heading into perhaps the team's roughest stretch of games before hitting the SEC portion of the schedule, many pundits and fans thought the worst.
The resulting stretch of four straight wins over opponents such as Charlotte, No. 1 Kansas, and SEC foes Auburn and No. 21 Ole Miss have brought those thoughts of utter destruction to a complete halt.
Now the Vols must hit the road in seven of their next 12 games.
To put it plainly, this is where the rubber meets the road.
This next stretch will either prove that this Tennessee basketball team is the one that is capable of beating anyone on any given day, or if the emotion of the moment caused the team to play above its head.
Will the stellar play of Josh Bone, Bobby Maze, and Renaldo Woolridge continue now that two of the four suspended Vols are back on the team?
How about seniors J.P. Prince and Wayne Chism? Will they continue to lead the way?
We know that the leadership of this coaching staff led by Pearl, a man who should be revered much higher in the scope of Tennessee athletics, will be a constant.
Under Pearl's leadership, the Vols have always been in the SEC title conversation. That's much more than we can say of the football team in recent years.
Pearl has been a rock of stability while the football program just hired its third coach in three years.
When the football Vols went on a stretch that included big wins over Georgia and South Carolina, with a narrow loss at No. 1 Alabama thrown in, many of us proclaimed Tennessee football officially back on the map.
The basketball team wins four huge games after losing four key players, and many Big Orange supporters barely even notice.
That section of supporters is growing larger by the day, however. The Vols had sellout crowds in two of the four big games recently. As the team continues to gain momentum and climb higher in the polls—No. 8 in the AP Top 25 this week—so does the support from Volniacs.
I guarantee once Feb. 3 is over and done with—National Signing Day for Football—the interest in the basketball Vols will grow exponentially.
Pearl and the Vols are aiming to make the '09-10 season the last in which that statement will prove true. These next few games will go a long way to securing that.

To which he had replied that, while agreeing with her on the main principle, the way in which to look at the matter was this.
late 14c., "to be to one's liking;" also "to give consent," from Old French agreer "to receive with favor, take pleasure in" (12c.), from phrase a gré "favorably, of good will," literally "to (one's) liking," from Latin ad "to" (see ad-) + gratum "pleasing," neuter of gratus (see grace (n.)); the original sense survives best in agreeable. Meaning "to be in harmony in opinions" is from late 15c. Related: Agreed; agreeing.

Cristy Dwyer with her husband Hugo
(LAKE PLACID, N.Y. – Oct. 13, 2012) Cristy Dwyer, a SUNY Empire State College student and alumna, '08, '10, and a classically trained pianist who worked with the Rolling Stones and Frank Zappa while in the rock-and-roll business, has come a long way from Southern California.
Dwyer is the first student from the college to receive the annual ACT Excellence and Student Initiative scholarship for SUNY comprehensive colleges given by the Association of Council Members and College Trustees of the State University.
"The college has helped me and tens of thousands of others actualize our full potential while we continue to contribute to the quality of life for our communities, the state and the nation," said Dwyer. "I am very grateful to ACT President Pierre Alric, Scholarship Committee Chairman Frank Pagano and all the members of the council for this award and to the faculty at the college, especially Professor Roxana Toma, for their support and encouragement."
Cristy Dwyer, Hugo Dwyer speak with ACT's Frank Pagano.
"Cristy Dwyer's outstanding record of academic achievement and service to the community has earned her the ACT scholarship award for students at SUNY colleges," said Pierre Alric, president of SUNY ACT. "Meeting with Cristy Dwyer and our four other scholarship winners was an honor and a privilege and we look for many more achievements from such talented, motivated individuals."
Dwyer was honored at the annual ACT conference recently held in Lake Placid. She was accompanied by her husband and fellow alumnus Hugo Dwyer '06 whom she credits with inspiring her to return to college.
Dwyer is about to earn a master's degree from the School for Graduate Studies, her third from the college. For the last 12 years she worked as a behavioral-health care provider at an inpatient substance abuse facility at a midtown Manhattan hospital where she served the homeless of New York City, many of whom are HIV infected.
There she became an advocate for the underserved, a role she continues today.
"Seeing firsthand how effective treatment could restore people to productive and meaningful lives and reunite families was an extraordinary experience," said Dwyer.
In 2007, she left her position at the hospital to pursue her undergraduate degrees as a full-time student. At that time she began work as a part-time faculty course designer and educator for the Alcoholism Council of New York's credentialed alcoholism and substance abuse counselor training program.
In addition to her work at the alcoholism council, she volunteers as New York state coordinator for VOR, a national grassroots organization, dedicated to ensuring the civil rights of individuals with profound and severe intellectual and developmental disabilities while she also serves on the environment, public safety and public health, and social services and education committees of Manhattan's Community Board 2.
Cristy Dwyer with Mary Caroline Powers, a vice president of the college
"Cristy Dwyer came to the college as a highly accomplished working adult to help her realize a long-held dream of earning a college degree," said Mary Caroline Powers, the college's vice president of the Office of Communications and Government Relations, who attended the event with Dwyer. "All of her academic accomplishments have not kept her from her career, her civic obligations and her sense of responsibility to society and now comes this statewide and very significant honor. All of us at the college take pride in Cristy and we appreciate that SUNY ACT does too."
Dwyer's master's thesis research is on long-term unemployment, especially among people ages 55 to 64.
Her associate GPA was 4.0, her bachelor's was 3.97 and she was named the recipient of the Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence in 2010, the highest student award SUNY bestows.
In December, when she will have her Master of Arts in Social Policy conferred, she also will be presented with the Dean's Medal and the Roger Keeran Outstanding Scholarship Award from the college's School for Graduate Studies.

Pittsburgh it is, thanks to the Flyers win in OT moments ago.
If the Rangers are going to Montreal, it wouldn't be until the Eastern Conference finals.
Game 1 in Pittsburgh is scheduled for Friday, with Game 2 to be played Sunday afternoon on NBC. I don't have a full schedule yet, but I would imagine Games 3 and 4 at the Garden would be Tuesday and Thursday. But I'll confirm when I have it.
Whether this is the match-up you wanted or not, you have to admit: Rangers-Pens is going to be a blast.
More from the practice rink tomorrow…

DUBUQUE INTERNAL MEDICINE. Rapidly growing medical clinic. Dr. Eugene W. COFFMAN joined Dr. Paul J. LAUBE in the late 1950s to form a medical practice that was first located in an office on Locust and later on Dodge Street. Dr. Coffman was joined in 1958 by Dr. John S. CHAPMAN and later by Dr. James R. Gilloon. Their practice, known locally as "Doctors Coffman-Chapman-Gilloon," later adopted the name of the "Dodge Street Internists."
In 1991 Dubuque Internal Medicine, with seventeen physicians, employed an estimated ninety clerical workers, nurses and technicians. Their move into spacious new offices at 1515 Delhi occurred on April 29, 1991. In 2008 the practice had grown to over thirty providers and over 250 employees.

Ignoring Dems' denials and plans to the contrary, CNN's Schneider said "[p]eople know" Dems are going to raise taxes but elected them anyway
Research ››› ››› KURT DONALDSON
During a discussion on the November 14 edition of CNN's The Situation Room about voters' expectations a week after the midterm elections, CNN senior political analyst Bill Schneider -- after showing a clip of President Bush at an election rally stating "[t]he Democrats are going to raise your taxes ... they don't want you to know it" -- stated "Guess what? People know it," adding that "they voted for the Democrats anyway, which means they must really want change." But contrary to Schneider's suggestion that Americans voted for the Democrats while disagreeing with them on taxes, an analysis of polling data leading up to the election demonstrates that Americans trusted Democrats more on taxes than Republicans. Further, Democrats have pledged not to raise taxes on middle-class Americans.
As Media Matters for America has documented (here and here), polls taken before the midterm elections revealed that Americans have trusted Democrats more than Republicans on taxes for some time, a finding that is reaffirmed in the most recent (September 6-10) Pew Research Center for the People and the Press poll on the subject, which showed a 45-to-30 percent Democratic advantage on taxes. A February Pew poll showed a Democratic advantage of 46-to-35 percent on taxes.
As Media Matters also noted, Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) has said that one of the Democrats' top priorities would be to reform the alternative minimum tax so that it affects fewer middle-class Americans. According to a September 20 Bloomberg article: "As a priority, he [Rangel] said Republicans and Democrats need to work together to address the expanding reach of the alternative minimum tax, a parallel system designed to prevent the richest from avoiding taxes that increasingly ensnares middle-income households." Additionally, incoming House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has stated that Democrats will consider increasing taxes only on those making "$250,000 or $300,000 a year and higher," as Media Matters has previously noted.
From the November 14 edition of CNN's The Situation Room:
SEN.-ELECT BEN CARDIN (D-MD): Marylanders were concerned about a change in Washington, and they wanted someone who stood up to President Bush and was willing to challenge his leadership.
SCHNEIDER: House Democrats intend to do that. On the minimum wage, embryonic stem cell research, prescription drug prices, and homeland security. President Bush may veto some of those measures. Democrats don't have the numbers to override a veto without Republican support. Despite President Bush's dire warnings, people don't think congressional Democrats will do anything to weaken national security. President Bush also warned:
BUSH: The Democrats are going to raise your taxes. No, I know they don't want you to know it.
SCHNEIDER: Guess what? People know it, but they voted for the Democrats anyway, which means they must really want change.

With thousands of presentations at DSS spanning discovery, development and distribution of defense and security technology, this meeting has become recognized as a "must-attend" event for both researchers and industry. "By providing a forum to review requirements and results, we help university, government and industry brainpower push the outer edge of technology and take it to the next level," added Walker.
Specific applications of technology being discussed include imaging systems that can "see through" walls, futuristic robotic vehicles and sensors for border security, new ways to inspect cargo and identify underwater threats in harbors, nonlethal weapons, recognition of chemical plumes, self-lubricating films using nanotechnology, wireless sensor networks, biometric technology for human identification, nanoscale sensors, space applications, helmet-mounted displays and night vision goggles. Many sessions are devoted to information retrieval, data mining, face recognition, new displays and integrated intelligent microsystems that push the limits.
Well over 100 presentations are related to unmanned systems, including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and robots on the ground for border security, search and rescue, and military operations. Capping presentations on these new R&D achievements is a special evening session Wednesday 19 April called the DARPA Grand Challenge. Larry Stotts, Deputy Director of the DARPA Advanced Technology Office, will review a unique program to accelerate autonomous ground vehicle technology that could be used to someday save lives on the battlefield. DARPA awarded a $2 million prize to a team from Stanford University, who fielded a remote-controlled vehicle that completed a 140-mile course in the Mojave Desert. Possible commercial spin-offs from this type of work include collision avoidance, automated road sign recognition and durable remote control systems. Stotts will provide an insider's view of the Grand Challenge program including goals, results and stories of the innovators who took part in the great race.

Quito (AFP) Jan 5, 2009
A team of Ecuadoran and Italian researchers have discovered a unique species of pink land iguanas living on the Galapagos Islands, the scientist who wrote the report told AFP.
"It is surprising to have made a find of this magnitude in the 21st century," said Washington Tapia, head of research at the Galapagos National Park.
Researchers at first thought that the iguanas, which are pink with black spots, simply had skin pigmentation problems, Tapia said.
The first pink iguanas were discovered in 1986, and after years of research scientists concluded that it was a unique species.
"We have not yet determined the size of the population, but we estimate that it is small because we have only captured 36 pink iguanas for research up to now," Tapia said in a telephone interview.
The pink species is can be up to 1.8 meters (6 feet) long as measured from tip to tail, and unlike the other land iguanas does not have a row of spines running up its back.
"It is a unique species," Tapia said. "But more research is needed to better determine its unique characteristics."
Made up of 13 main islands, in 1978 UNESCO declared the islands Patrimony of the Humanity.

Montmartre museums and places of interest
Place des Abbesses. This lively square is the very heart of the community. The original Art Nouveau metro entrance is well worth having a look at.
Place du Tertre still has its village feel, particularly when the tourists aren't invading the cafés, eating places, having their portraits painted and browsing around the art galleries. The tourist info centre may be found at no. 21 which was for a time the HQ for the Paris Commune (1871).
Bateau-Lavoir where the artists lived and had their studios, including Picasso, Modigliani, Lautrec and Renoir. Located at 13 place Emile-Goudeau.
Saint Pierre (Saint Peter's) the great abbey of Montmartre is the third oldest in Paris after St Germain des Pres and St Martin des Champs. It was begun in 1134. You will find it at the top of the hill, near Sacre Coeur. Address: 2 rue de Mont-Cenis. It was consecrated in 1147 by the pope himself in the presence of Queen Adelaide of Savoy (the convent's founder) and her son who was later Louis VII. You can see a depiction of the Montmartre vineyard on the altar.
Montmartre vineyards. Over the top of the hill. Apparently worth visiting on the first Saturday of October when the grapes are harvested. You might even get a wine tasting of the only remaining wine making in Paris.
Sacré-Coeur consecrated in 1919. Building started after defeat by hand of the Prussians in 1870. Site of pilgrimage and fantastic views it was intended to be an offering of pennance for the misery caused by the Paris Commune. I doubt the local residents (the peasants were responsible for the commune) were quite in agreement.
Chateau des Brouillards - a folly later used for dancing. The gardens were turned into what is now the place Suzanne-Buisson.
Windmills – once upon a time the hill had 30 windmills on it. Some may still be found, for example I was told of one right at the top of the hill and another on Rue Lepic (on the corner). They ground grain and flint (as well as rubbish). Many were later turned into commercial properties and dance halls.
Rue Cortot number 12 - visit the Old Montmartre Society in the home where many artists lived.
Moulin Rouge and Cabaret, Chat Noir and Montmartroise songs around Place Pigalle (still very colourful but perhaps more touristy than it was way back then)
The Erotic museum. Quite tastefully done apparently with some good art although certainly not appropriate for children. Near the Moulin Rouge.
Montmartre Cemetry contains, amongst others clearly,
Emile Zola (novelist)
Hector Berlioz (composer)
Greuze (painter)
Edgar Degas (painter)
Jacques Offenbach (composer who amongst other things wrote that piece of Operetta which BA have used for their anthem - "La Parcarolle")
Nijinsky (dancer)
Alexandre Dumas the Younger (novelist)
Stendhal (novelist)
"La Goulou" - dancer of the Moulin Rouge made famous to us by Lautrec's posters
The Opera and the Opera Museum across the square.
Dalí Museum (Rue Poulbot)
Gustave Moreau museum (Moreau was Degas' teacher and mentor, a symbolist. Beautiful watercolours reminiscent of )(Rue de La Rochefoucault)
Musee de la Vie Romantique, museum of romantic life, (Rue Chaptal)
parc d'Anvers
Estienne d'Orves

Before we say goodbye to 2013, we'll have one more game to watch.
Tappan Zee travels to Suffern at 1 p.m. for the only game of the day, and the last game of the year. I'll be there staffing it for tomorrow's paper. I've seen Suffern this year and I've "kind of" seen Tappan Zee this year (saw it for the second half while writing my game story at the Tappan Zee Tournament.
The Mounties have a nice defense, but are a bit reserved when it comes to taking risks on offense. The team doesn't take many 3-pointers, or jumpers, for that matter; instead, relying on layups and/or drawing fouls in the paint. Suffern has some decent size to it (I mean, after all, they do have like five of its volleyball players on the team), and held a high-scoring Scarsdale team to just 30 points earlier this season.
Tappan Zee couldn't be a more opposite team. Where Suffern is hesitant to pull the trigger from downtown, the Dutchies will seemingly fire at will. Kristen McLaughlin, Jillian Lynch and Delaney Sheridan make for a nightmare for opponents from beyond the arc. The Dutchies trounced Pelham in the second half of the game I mentioned earlier, after trailing by one at the half.
Should be a decent game, and I get to stay in Rockland, which is always nice. I'll post the game story when it's up online later. I'm also going to post a Slam Dunk recap (mostly links, stats and my personal takeaway from the tournament) after my gamer is done.
Speaking of the Slam Dunk, I have a new poll up, asking which local team impressed you the most. Once you're done reading this, take a second to click your vote in. My new team rankings are also posted at the bottom of the home page. If I have time, I'll try and write up a post with the rankings and my reasoning for having teams ranked where they are.
In conclusion, I want to wish you all a very happy, healthy New Year. I hope that 2013 treated to well and that 2014 treats you even better!
