NEW YORK (AP) When Bill Rancic aced The Apprentice, Donald Trump gave him a choice of two plum jobs: managing a Trump-owned golf course in California or overseeing a 90-story building project in Chicago.In a way, Im very happy he didnt choose the golf course, cause I put someone there about a month and a half ago, and theyre doing a great job, Trump said after the Thursday night broadcast. It could have been a little bit embarrassing.The snag was averted. Chicagoan Rancic was happily homebound and his fellow finalist Kwame Jackson was fired as the hit NBC series aired its live finale.Kwame, I think you have an amazing future, Trump said. Youre a brilliant guy, great education, and I have no doubt youre going to be a big success. But right now: Bill, youre hired!Rancic, a street-smart 32-year-old Internet entrepreneur, had edged out Jackson, the laid-back 29-year-old New Yorker and Harvard MBA, for what Trump described as the dream job of a lifetime and a $250,000 years salary.Trump insisted the decision had been difficult, and close and one he shared with no one before airtime not even Mark Burnett, creator of The Apprentice.I had good feelings about both of these people, Trump said after the show, or they wouldnt have gotten there.Which did Burnett think Trump would pick? I didnt think, Burnett answered flatly.The victorious Rancic said his win sends a message.The American Dream is still alive out there, and hard work will get you there, he told reporters. You dont necessarily need to have an Ivy League education or to have millions of dollars startup money. It can be done with an idea, hard work and determination.Then, asked when his job with Trump would start, he grinned and said, I believe I am on the clock, even as we speak.Trumps decision closed out a three-month-long competition. The billionaire developer and host of the show put 16 would-be apprentices through numerous business tasks then, in the boardroom, fired an underperformer at the end of each episode.As their last assignments, Bill was put in charge of a Trump golf tournament, and Kwame handled an appearance by pop star Jessica Simpson at one of Trumps Atlantic City casino hotels.These two bosses were each teamed with three employees: previously fired Apprentice candidates who, possibly still nursing grudges, sometimes seemed as much a hindrance as a help.Thanks to Bills team, a vital sponsors sign went missing.Thanks to Kwames team, Jessica Simpson went missing. Then she disappeared again, while Trump tapped his foot.That was the handiwork of beautiful but scheming Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, one of the breakout stars among the shows candidates. Her feigned martyrdom after plaster fell on her head on one episode earned her the ultimate pop-culture salute: She was spoofed on Saturday Night Live.Of course, not every burning issue was cleared up Thursday. For instance, how can 15 people be fired when they were never hired in the first place? That question may never be resolved.But the boardroom summits with Trump, where he pronounced the now famous youre fired, helped make The Apprentice a sensation after its January premiere.Last week, it ranked second among all prime-time shows, logging 22 million viewers even more than CBS Survivor: All-Stars. It holds seventh place for the season to date, according to Nielsen.Created by Burnett, who brought Survivor to the airwaves, The Apprentice traded on a similar survival-of-the-fittest gimmick, and viewers loved it for its display of competitive greed and backstabbing.Another draw, perhaps: the eight female contestants were attractive and tended to wear short skirts.The Apprentice launched Trump to new heights of renown. Not only did he dine out on the catch phrase youre fired (even threatening to copyright it), he landed deals for a Trump-brand credit card and as a celebrity spokesman for a telecommunications company.Two weeks ago he was guest host on Saturday Night Live, and now has agreed to come back for a new edition of The Apprentice next season, reportedly at a substantial pay raise.Looks like there are lots more firings ahead.On the Net:www.nbc.com

NZ Dollar Outlook: Kiwi may gain on expectation RBNZ reinforces hiking plans
By Tina Morrison
June 9 (BusinessDesk) - The New Zealand dollar may gain this week amid expectations the Reserve Bank won't pull back its expectations for interest rate hikes as much as financial markets expect.
The kiwi will probably trade between 83.50 US cents and 86.50 cents this week, according to a BusinessDesk survey of nine traders and strategists. Five predict the kiwi will rise this week, while two expect it to fall and two pick it to remain largely unchanged. It recently traded at 85.05 US cents.
Reserve Bank governor Graeme Wheeler is expected to hike the official cash rate a quarter point to 3.25 percent this Thursday and traders are mulling whether he will soften his projection for future rate rises given recent weakness in milk prices, and labour and inflation data. Still, many say the market has gone too far in pulling back expectations for future hikes by 65 basis points over three years, given the strength of the local economy which is underpinned by strong migration and government spending.
"The Reserve Bank should surprise to the upside because markets have priced in too much of a downgrade to the OCR track," said Imre Speizer, senior market strategist at Westpac Banking Corp. "We think that the Reserve Bank will revise its track down a little but we are only talking in the order of 10 basis points, not in the order of 65. The market is basically saying they will take the equivalent of two full hikes out of the multi-year tightening programme. We don't agree with that. We think that they will just take a little bit out and as a result the markets will then be disappointed at the failure of the Reserve Bank to endorse its pricing and interest rates then will need to bounce on the day and that will push the kiwi/US higher."
The Monetary Policy Statement will be released at 9am on Thursday and include updated forecasts and a press conference. Governor Wheeler will appear before parliament's finance and expenditure committee at midday.
Also of interest this week, economists will be looking to tomorrow's release of first quarter manufacturing sales as they finalise their forecasts for first quarter GDP. On the same day, Finance Minister Bill English is making a speech to the Manufacturers and Exporters Association in Christchurch.
Other scheduled releases of May data include electronic card transactions and the accommodation survey on Wednesday, and on Friday the food price index and the performance of manufacturing index.
The Real Estate Institute of New Zealand may publish its latest house price figures towards the end of the week.
In Australia this week, reports are scheduled on home loans, business confidence, consumer confidence and employment. Reserve Bank of Australia governor Glenn Stevens is speaking on financial regulation in San Francisco tomorrow.
Elsewhere, Japan has reports on GDP and consumer confidence today ahead of the Bank of Japan meeting on Friday, where policy is expected to remain unchanged.
Meanwhile, China's "monthly data dump" including releases on monetary aggregates, inflation, producer prices, fixed asset investment, industrial production and retail sales is expected to show an economy growing below trend.
This week in the US, traders will be eyeing reports on retail sales, a small business survey, consumer sentiment and the producer price index.

USA Today bestows best ice cream honors upon Sweet Action
Last week, four Denver restaurants -- Fruition, Root Down, Squeaky Bean and Colt & Gray -- got some major love from New York Times scribe Jay Cheshes, who spotlighted the restaurants' field-to-fork endeavors.
But The Times wasn't the only paper doling out love to Denver: USA Today, in its round-up of the fifty best ice cream parlors in the country, lavished praise on one Denver ice creamery -- namely, Sweet Action, the house of eclectic flavors at 52 Broadway.
Read the accolades after the jump.
Some of the flavors at Sweet Action Ice Cream in Denver might sound odd (brown bread molasses, salted butterscotch), but they're inspired and amazingly good. They also do a wonderful chocolate and vanilla.
The latest flavors to grace the roster? Bailey's Irish cream, brown sugar banana, Vietnamese coffee, blackberry, mint chip and strawberry shortcake.
You scream, I scream, we all scream...

Is there another webserver available? If so, you can write a script that
fetches the data you want, and insert the results/data into your own
I'm doing just that on a number of sites.
Actually I just setup a script to fetch then "/" of my monowall. The
page can be seen on http://wangerin.linux.dk/m0n0wall.php.
The php-code for generating that is simple:
> <?php

> $menu = "2.2 m0n0wall information";
> $logfile = @file("https://XXXX:YYYY@mono_ip/");
> $body=join ("",$logfile);
> include (".template.php");
> ?>
The template builds the main frame, and inserts $body the right place - that's all.
Could also be do as
> <?php
> echo join("",@file("https://XXXX:YYYY@mono_ip/"));
> ?>
Then nothing would be added to or modified in the output of monowall

What would you like to do?
Significance of the opening scene in Macbeth?
its significant because it foreshadowing what will happen to Macbeth at the end of the play.
4 people found this useful
Was this answer useful?
Thanks for the feedback!
What is the significance of the opening scene of the phantom of the opera?
They are auctioning off the contents of the opera house after it was closed down. Then, in retrospect, they take you back to what led up to that scene.
What is the significance of the opening scene of Hunger Games?
The opening scene informs the reader about Katniss, her love for Prim, her mother and of course Gale. It also lets us know about the Hunger Games - what it is and why people l…oath it. It's just a scene that gets you started in on the book, informing you about the characters and the Hunger Games, itself. Hope this helped.
What is the dramatic significance of the opening scene of Julius Caesar?
The opening scene is always very significant. Act I Scene I of Julius Caesar is important, as it sets the mood of the play. It opens with a sense of opposition from the tribun…es. We get to know that the Plebians are fickle and are ruled by emotions rather than reason. Their opinion can easily be changed and hence cannot be trusted. Although Caesar isn't physically there, his presence is strong.
What is the Significance of opening scene in the color purple?
The significance of the opening scene lies in the fact that the major conflict of the story is expressed in a very raw and emotional statement about the abusive lifestyle that… Celie lives in. She is raped and impregnated only to have her children taken away from her, leaving her alone. The conflict of abuse is hardly resolved much later in the book, leaving Celie to be beaten by Pa and Mr. ___ for the majority of the book.
Significance of the opening scene in Pride and Prejudice?
The opening scene of Pride and Prejudice gives the reader an understanding of the Bennets' situation. We know that they have five daughters who will inherit very little becaus…e the estate is entailed. We know that Mrs Bennet is frantic to get at least one of her daughters married well, so they will not all be impoverished spinsters. And we know that the relationship between Mrs Bennet and Mr Bennet borders on the ridiculous.
What is the significance of the opening and closing scenes of The Catcher in the Rye?
The opening scene is important because it takes place in a mental hospital and that questions the reader about how Holden got there and the events that leads to that. This boo…k is in "bookend" structure- meaning that it begins and ends in the same place. (i think) The closing scene is significant because the rain represents Holden starting over, or realising the sadness, and anger he kept with him. The carousel represents Holden's acceptance into the adult world.
In the soliloquy that opens scene 1 what does banquo reveal that he knows about Macbeth what does Banquo decide to do?
That his crown will not go to his decedents, but instead will give his crown to Banquo's sons and grandsons. Banquo decides to go to the ceremonial banquet.
What is the significance of the opening scene for Huckleberry Finn?
The opening scene of huck finn, is Twain's way of introducing the reader to Huck Finn. He shows Huck as very childish. The reader also reads how Huck has a rebellious na…ture and doesn't like to be civilized.
The significance of the opening scene of Julius Caesar?
Although the play opens with Flavius and Murellus noting the fickle nature of the public's devotion-the crowd now celebrates Caesar's defeat of Pompey when once it celebrated …Pompey's victories-loyalty to Caesar nonetheless appears to be growing with exceptional force. Caesar's power and influence are likewise strong: Flavius and Murellus are later punished for removing the decorations from Caesar's statues. It is interesting to note the difference between the manner in which Flavius and Murellus conceive of the cobbler and that in which Shakespeare has created him. The cobbler is a typically Shakespearean character-a host of puns and bawdy references reveal his dexterity with language ("all that I live by is with the awl. I meddle / with no tradesman's matters, nor women's matters" [I.i.21-22]). The tribunes, however, preoccupied with class distinctions, view the cobbler as nothing more than a plebeian ruffian. Flavius's reproach of the cobbler for not having his tools about him on a workday reveals his belief that a laborer can be good for one thing and one thing only: laboring. Murellus similarly assumes the cobbler is stupid, although, ironically, it is Murellus himself who misunderstands the cobbler's answers to his questions. Murellus is unwilling to interpret the cobbler's shift in allegiance from Pompey to Caesar as anything but a manifestation of dim-witted forgetfulness. Flavius and Murellus's concern about Caesar's meteoric rise to power reflects English sentiment during the Elizabethan age about the consolidation of power in other parts of Europe. The strengthening of the absolutist monarchies in such sovereignties as France and Spain during the sixteenth century threatened the stability of the somewhat more balanced English political system, which, though it was hardly democratic in the modern sense of the word, at least provided nobles and elected representatives with some means of checking royal authority. Caesar's ascendance helped to effect Rome's transition from republic to empire, and Shakespeare's depiction of the prospect of Caesar's assumption of dictatorial power can be seen as a comment upon the gradual shift toward centralization of power that was taking place in Europe. In addition, Shakespeare's illustration of the fickleness of the Roman public proves particularly relevant to the English political scene of the time. Queen Elizabeth I was nearing the end of her life but had neither produced nor named an heir. Anxiety mounted concerning who her successor would be. People feared that without resort to the established, accepted means of transferring power-passing it down the family line-England might plunge into the sort of chaotic power struggle that had plagued it in the fifteenth century, during the Wars of the Roses. Flavius and Murellus's interest in controlling the populace lays the groundwork for Brutus's and Antony's manipulations of public opinion after Caesar's death. Shakespeare thus makes it clear that the struggle for power will involve a battle among the leaders to win public favor with displays of bravery and convincing rhetoric. Considering political history in the centuries after Shakespeare wrote Julius Caesar, especially in the twentieth century, when Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler consolidated their respective regimes by whipping up in the masses the overzealous nationalism that had pervaded nineteenth-century Italy and Germany, the play is remarkably prescient.
Are there witches in the opening scene of Macbeth?
Yes. The play opens with the three witches meeting in "a desert place."
What was the atmosphere and tone created in the short opening scene of Macbeth?
Shakespeare creates a ere, ominous, dark, evil tone in the opening scene
What atmosphere and tone are created in the short opening scene of Macbeth?
Shakespeare creates a ere, ominous, dark, evil tone in the short opening scene.
How does Macbeth open in the first scene?
well the three witches are gathered on the heath and they are talking about meeting macbeth and that the battle between norway and scotland will fall in the victory of scotlan…d. my english teacher also told me that it was important that the name 'macbeth' is first mentioned, this can give us an impression of macbeth and we can later predict what will happen.
What is the purpose of the opening scene of Macbeth?
The purpose is to provide the reader with the plot of the story. It foreshadows every event that will occur throughout the book. Macbeth's future is foreseen by the three witc…hes. Every action he performs from that point on is based on whether or not it will impede his future as king.
What is the significance of the opening scene of Great Expectations?
The opening scene is significant because it introduces some of the main characters including Magwitch. It gives the reader a background story on Magwitch's life which is impor…tant for when he gets back into Pip's life later in the story. It also shows how Mrs. Joe was very harsh towards Pip and Joe Gargery.
Why do you think Shakespeare made the opening scene of Macbeth feature the three witches?
In the rambunctious theatre of Shakespeare's day, it was sometimes hard to settle down the crowd and catch their attention. Shakespeare often had attention-grabbing scenes to …start plays off: swordfights, ghosts, riots and so on. He also often had minor characters in the first scenes so if people were slow to catch on they wouldn't miss a lot. The witches proved to be a great attention-getter, even though they have nothing important to say in scene 1 (their important stuff comes in scene 3). At the same time, their first appearance is not essential to the plot, so if people are finishing their conversation in scene 1 they can pay attention to scene 2, where the setup of the play is going to be explained by the bloody sergeant.

Recording companies sued 261 music fans this week, claiming they were illegally distributing hundreds of digital song files apiece over Internet file-sharing networks. Many of the defendants, however, turned out to be parents or grandparents of the alleged file-traders.
Many legal experts believe few defendants, if any, will opt to fight the lawsuits because they can't afford attorneys or won't want to risk judgments totaling millions of dollars. Copyright laws allow for damages of $750 to $150,000 per song.
"In most cases the recording industry has a really strong case," said Boston College Law School professor Joseph Liu. "If I were sued by the recording industry, I'd probably settle pretty quickly."
For adults who don't settle, the music industry has a good chance of prevailing, experts say. But proving a parent's liability for a child's activity is much harder, said Jonathan Zittrain, co-director of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School.
"And in general, if you win an action against a kid, you don't get to collect against the parent," Zittrain said.
The music industry has said it was targeting the individuals who had paid for the Internet service at households where digital music was being shared. That often means the parent.
The Recording Industry Association of America could not say how many of the music lawsuits this week named minors or their parents.
By some estimates, teenagers make up half of the 60 million people who use file-swapping services. Some adults who spoke publicly about the cases said their children or grandchildren had been using their computer to swap music.
A Richardson, Texas, man said his teenage grandchildren downloaded songs when they came to visit him. A Redwood City, Calif., man whose wife was sued said neither knew their two teens and their friends were doing anything wrong on the family computer.
But in at least one case, the recording industry sued the child, not the parent. Brianna LaHara, a 12-year-old honors student from New York, somehow got named as the defendant. Her mother settled the case for $2,000 and an apology from Brianna.
Minors can be sued for copyright infringement, but because they don't generally have assets or income, a plaintiff would have to press for a settlement with the parents, as in the case of Brianna.
Copyright infringement cases levied against parents for something their child did are rare, said Fred von Lohmann, an attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco.
"It is legally very uncertain and untested," von Lohmann said.
To build its cases, the recording industry trolled file-sharing networks like Kazaa and downloaded song files from users' computers.
Once the industry determined a downloaded song file was a copyright work, they issued subpoenas to Internet access providers to find out who was behind the account used to log onto the file-sharing network.
In the case of adults, recording companies only need to establish that individuals made unauthorized copies or were distributing them without permission, said Evan Cox of Covington & Burling, who has worked with the Business Software Alliance on piracy.
"They have them for copyright infringement pretty much as soon as they can prove that they put all this stuff in the shared files and were distributing," Cox said.
But to win against parents, recording companies would have to prove that the parent could have controlled or stopped the child's behavior but failed to do so. Or they must show that the parent knew the child was doing something illegal but still gave them access to the means to do so, such as paying for the Internet account.
The recording industry may also have to prove that the parent received a financial benefit from the child's illicit activity. An argument industry attorneys could make is the parents saved moneys on CDs, for example, von Lohmann said.
"It's by no means a slam dunk," Zittrain said. "The direct financial interest part of it is pretty hard to meet, if it's not clear the parent is gaining anything"

One rather embarrassing thing has just reared it's ugly head and that's noticing that all the links in my posts are getting the HTML stripped prior to displaying. So there is a rouge plugin that's performing some modification to the content before it's put in front of you. Everythings fine in the DB, the posts are exactly as I have written them, links and all. Unfortunately it's about 4:30 am here and I'll have to stare at this with fresher eyes tomorrow. While it's interesting, in a strange way, it's just about made my blog useless at the moment… And just when I was link happy giving thanks to everyone in the previous post. After I hunt down the culprit ( the usual suspects ) I'll report back here. I think I need to add a "Whoops" category now!
I've just noticed that this is happening under the "Posts belonging to Category 'Plugins'" pages. I think that's my fault!
Well I finally got to delve into where the "code" was misbehaving. The funny thing is that on this current theme, the Categories Widget is using the archive.php file, under /wp-content/themes/eximius. Of course this is the Eximus Theme. Now the archive.php is using the_excerpt() function to display the post and not the_content() function. There is a much better description of what's going on at http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt It's time for a theme change anyways now the site is upgraded to WordPress 3.0.

These were exactly the kind of questions that more than 75 U.S. and Canadian leaders worked hard to answer at Rethinking the Niagara Frontier: a Bi-national Forum, held in Niagara Falls, New York and Niagara Falls, Ontario, on March 30 and 31, 2000.
The forum featured a series of small group discussions focused on several group discussions focused on several key opportunities available to the region. These included heritage and cultural tourism; trade and transportation; brownfields redevelopent; the natural and built environment; and the developement of knowledge-based industries.
The discussions were propelled by expert presentations about what is already happening in the region in regard to parks development and tourism investment - as well as what might be possible in heritage and cultural tourism and the development of "competitive city-regions."
Overall, the event helped to create a broader awareness of the value of thinking in terms of a bi-national region, formed a clearer picture of the challenges and opportunities facing the Niagara city-region, generated increased enthusiasm for working together, and provide a real impetus for further cooperative bi-national work.

Flacco is a quiet QB who does things every year that impresses no one because fans want higher playing stats every time. The cumulation of his first 5 years makes some of the great QBs accomplishments look bad. Give Flacco more years with T Smith,Boldin,J Jones,Pitta, and Caldwell as OC, watch what happens. Receivers who can run and catcghhold on to the damn ball),Joes first 5 years, who did he have to throw to. Derek mason(dropped the winning pass against the steelers), Clayton(dropped more passes then he should have), Evans(sorry to bring it up) and that damn cam cameron(OC coach who couldn't figure out a way for receivers to get separation). Flacco will get better with time and if tthe current receivers stay on. Thats what helped every great QB, a set of receivers to grow with.
I'm with Flacco doing what he has done already. He plays to his abilities and goes about it in a business way. A team needs a QB who stays calm and has a cannon for an arm. Do hope he cuts loose after this season, after this postseason play, he deserves to. Be cool for him to wear an Art Modell T-shirt and hold his newborn up on the podium with his wife. Doubt he does it, he too business like.Hell. I hope all the Ravens wear an Art Modell shirt after the game, Win or lose. Art deserves his props for believing Baltimore was his future and he was right.

We guess we'll be hearing talk about a Barack Obama-Hillary Rodham Clinton ticket in 2012 right up to the time Joe Biden accepts the vice presidential nomination in early September.
Now comes former Labor secretary Robert Reich, who revives the idea that Secretary Clinton and Vice President Biden will swap positions before next year's election.
"Why do I say this?" writes Reich, who worked for President Bill Clinton. "Because Obama needs to stir the passions and enthusiasms of a Democratic base that's been disillusioned with his cave-ins to regressive Republicans. Hillary Clinton on the ticket can do that."
As we've reported before, don't bet on it.
For one thing, President Obama himself has said Biden will be his running mate in 2012. And no one with the campaign -- no one -- has said that a switch is even in the realm of possibility.
Clinton has denied any interest in the vice presidency, and suggested she might retire from the State Department if Obama wins a second term.
Biden has said he plans to run again with Obama.
While Reich's prediction of an Obama-Clinton teaming in 2012 probably won't come to pass, he does cite an issue that will be discussed beyond the election:
The deal would also make Clinton the obvious Democratic presidential candidate in 2016 -- offering the Democrats a shot at twelve (or more) years in the White House, something the Republicans had with Ronald Reagan and the first George Bush but which the Democrats haven't had since FDR.
Twelve years gives the party in power a chance to reshape the Supreme Court as well as put an indelible stamp on America.
David's journalism career spans three decades, including coverage of five presidential elections, the Oklahoma City bombing, the 2000 Florida presidential recount and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He has covered the White House for USA TODAY since 2005. His interests include history, politics, books, movies and college football -- not necessarily in that order. More about David

Oh my fucking god, behold yet another story in a major American newspaper wherein the writer gets all verklempt about this wack new burlesque craze, just fifteen short years after the first quasi-transgressive hipsters disentombed it from its well-deserved mothball crypt in the misogynist perv-pile. Any excuse to interview a semi-nude chick with a stripper name, I guess. These Yay! Burlesque! stories seem to appear every couple of months. They always present burlesque as some kind of exciting new art form the practitioners of which are all empowered feminists who are totally in touch with their sexuality.
Here is what Miss Lily Verlaine, Seattle burlesque artist, has to say about about feminism.
"I enjoy the trappings of femininity. I enjoy wearing dresses, I like silk and I like high heels, eyelashes and big hair. It's fun for me. I don't think it's un-feminist or that I'm any more or less of a woman for accentuating certain aspects of my femininity."
I choose femininity! For me! Because what could be more feminist than choosing something?
"I find it very feminist and very exciting when a woman decides how to portray herself. Any woman being her own agent, being her own director, being her own stylist and her own voice is always feminist."
What could be more exciting than a woman deciding to portray herself as something? Especially when she decides to portray herself as a male fantasy, am I right?
"'For a long time, I wasn't interested in nail-polish and makeup and all that stuff because I could be spending my time doing things in the community,' she recalls. However, Verlaine found that once the dresses, furs, heels and makeup followed her offstage, people began to treat her better, men especially."
Well, whaddya know. Appeasing the oppressor vs. "doing things in the community": it's a no-brainer!
"'If I have my drag on, people compliment me. They say kind things. The interactions are night and day,' she says."
People: "We didn't think much of you, Miss Lily Verlaine, before you started dressing like a hooker. But now that you've demonstrated your willingness to conform by defining yourself in terms of male desire, we think you're awesome. Can we buy you a Scotch?"
Miss Lily Verlaine: "Gosh, thanks! This beats the shit out of trying to be taken seriously!"
Pull yourself together, woman! Not even the hipsters think burlesque is hip anymore. And even if it were, femininity is unenlightened, and also dumb. And even if it weren't, all that makeup crap totally causes cancer! There's mercury in mascara!
But maybe life just isn't worth living if men don't want to fuck you; what's a little cancer compared to the infinite rewards of sex appeal?
Speaking of makeup, I just found out there exists a species of cosmetic called "lip plumper." Lip plumper is an irritant that, when applied to one's "pout," makes it swell up, the better to affect that sexy, just-been-punched-in-the-face look that dudes love. This poor girl, apparently of her own volition, makes her own lip plumper out of cayenne and infant butt-cream.
Kill me now.

Creation of the Center for Modeling and Simulation in Strasbourg
Since January 2013, the Center for Modeling and Simulation in Strasbourg has started its activities. Several collaboration projects have already started:
For more information you can contact me (email@example.com) or Vincent Huber (email@example.com)
HP-Feel++ awarded 60 000 000 core hours by PRACE on SUPERMUC
It is my pleasure to announce that HP-Feel++ (High Performance Feel++) has been awarded 60 000 000 core hours on SUPERMUC (GAUSS@LRZ,Germany)[1] by the PRACE 6th regular call [2]. Among 88 projects submitted, 57 have been selected. HP-Feel++ has received fully the requested core hours. This project will run from March 2013 and March 2014.
HP-Feel++ is a collaboration between U. of Strasbourg(France), U. Joseph Fourier(Grenoble, France), CNRS and U. Coimbra(Portugal).
The HP-Feel++ project aims at developing two research applications that require now access of TIER-0 computing resources: blood flow rheology and high field magnets.
Although these domains are quite different they have been thoroughly developed for the past few years within the Feel++ project (http://www.feelpp.org). They share the same mathematical kernel that encompasses a large range of numerical methods to solve partial differential equations such as (i) arbitrary order continuous and discontinuous Galerkin methods in 1D, 2D and 3D, (ii) domain decomposition methods, (iii) fictitious domain methods, (iv) level-set methods or (iv) certified reduced basis methods. These methods are developed and used easily using a domain specific language embedded in C++ mimicking the mathematical language associated to Galerkin methods. This language allows physicists, engineers and mathematicians to focus on the numerical methods as well the physics whilst it hides the computer science details (e.g. parallelism) or algebraic solvers and enables the user to ramp up very quickly from rapid prototyping numerical methods to large scale computations. Within this context, blood flow rheology and high field magnets are the two domains driving Feel++ developments.
In blood flow rheology, we are interested in simulating suspensions of red blood cells (RBC) in arteries and veins and in studying the fluid properties (i.e. the fluid apparent viscosity) either in healthy contexts (our current focus) or pathological contexts (in the longer term). Not only the RBC are deformable entities, arteries and veins deform also during blood pulse; in both cases fluid structure interaction modeling and simulations are required. We have developed two main alternatives to tackle these problems: (i) fluid structure interaction within the so-called Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian framework coupled with a fictitious domain method to handle the RBC and (ii) fluid structure interaction using level-set methods. In both cases, the computational and storage costs for realistic simulations require using the TIER-0 infrastructures.
As to high field magnets (i.e. magnetic intensity greater than 24T), they are being developed by a large scale equipment laboratory (Laboratoire national des champs magnetiques intenses) and they are accessible to the international scientific community through project calls. Studies range from solid physics to applied supra-conductivity and magneto-science. The design and optimisation of these high field magnets require the solution of large scale multi-physics (and mildly multi-scale) non-linear partial differential equations. Moreover to ensure a robust design, we need to assess uncertainties through quantile estimations and sensitivity analysis. The latter is built on the former as it requires hundred or thousands evaluations of the former. We have developed the so-called certified reduced basis in this context to reduce the computational cost within the uncertainty quantification and optimisation processes from millions of degrees of freedom to a few tens or hundreds. This huge computational gain requires however the acceptance of an intensive offline stage allowing to get the independence with respect to the costly (typically finite element) underlying models and which demands now the access to TIER-0 infrastructures.
2 Years Engineer Position @ Strasbourg
A 2 years engineering position is open at université de Strasbourg starting in December 2012 or January 2013. The engineer will work at setting up the center of mathematical modeling and simulation of Strasbourg
We look for a candidate having a Phd in applied mathematics/scientific computing or having a strong applied mathematics/scientific computing content.

Podcast: Baseball, Come Rain or Come Shine
Going to a baseball game in the summer is an American pastime. Unfortunately, making plans to attend a game can also involve monitoring the weather forecast like a meteorologist. The Sports Retort ponders whether baseball would still be fun if they played in the rain.
We also discuss Phil Mickelson's British Open win, whether the setup at Muirfield was too difficult and give Adam Thompson his proper due for winning the Retort golf game.
Meanwhile, is the new NHL division names (Metropolitan, Atlantic, Pacific and Central) a result of overthinking or underthinking it?

SUBJECT: Clarification of SOP on ACCES Referral Lists and Demonstration Projects
Reference my
memorandum of June 4, 1999
, subject:Standing Operating Procedures for Requesting Referral Lists and Registering in the Army Civilian Career Evaluation System (ACCES) for All Demonstration Projects.This describes procedures for requesting ACCES lists where "the position is in a broadband level that encompasses both mandatory and non-mandatory referral grades . . . ."
Since all Army demonstration projects, including participation in the DOD Acquisition demo, already provide for the use of local recruitment as a supple-ment to central career referral, the referenced memorandum did not address the situation where the position's salary equals or exceeds the representative rate of the mandatory referral grade. This situation is already covered by the various demo project SOPs, so we did not repeat it.
To clarify, though, local recruitment may be used to supplement central career referral where the position's salary equals or exceeds the representative rate of the mandatory referral grade. Said another way, in these situations ACCES (and other central career referral systems) must be used and local recruitment may by used.
Additionally, we've recently determined that a manager asking for an ACCES list for a position covering two grades at the mandatory level may request two separate lists. A selection may be made from either list. Take, for example, a GS-1102 Payband III position in the DOD Acquisition Workforce demo. Payband III covers GS-12 and 13, which are mandatory referral levels for GS-1102 in CP-14, Contracting and Acquisition. The manager could request a single ACCES list at either the GS-12 or 13 grade level, or a list for each grade. In the case of multiple vacancies for a position, either or both lists may be used to select.

Apparently someone is attempting to use social media and market pressure to force socialist reform upon Apple. They, anonymously, created a Facebook page which calls for the "like" button to register as a petition/pledge to boycott Apple if they do not reform their manufacturing labor practices by the end of the year. (2012 presumably)
from the page:
As much as we enjoy using Apple's many products, we can not justify continuing to support the exploitation of workers in order to enjoy a luxury item.
So, we want to inform Apple that their customers will be buying no more Apple products unless they institute the following reforms in all of their international plants by year's end.
1) Overtime pay after 8 hours in a shift.
2) Voluntary compliance with US safety codes, worldwide.
Those who have added their name and/or "like" to this page are current Apple customers who have agreed to this planned boycott.
We do not believe these requests are unreasonable in detail or timetable. All we are asking is that you treat the people who build your products with the same respect as those who invent them. As both are equally necessary to the products existence.

The African American Study of Kidney Disease and Hypertension is an
ongoing trial to compare the effects of 3 drugs—ramipril, amlodipine,
and metoprolol—and 2 blood pressure goals on the progression of hypertensive
renal disease in African American patients. The amlodipine treatment arm was
terminated early due to safety concerns. In this analysis comparing the ramipril
and amlodipine groups, Agodoa and colleaguesArticle report that among patients with
baseline urine protein to creatinine ratio greater than 0.22 (urinary protein
excretion greater than about 300 mg/d), the glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
decline over 3 years was significantly slower in the ramipril group. The risk
of the composite end point of GFR decline, end-stage renal disease, or death
was significantly less in patients treated with ramipril. In an editorial,

Elevated levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) have
been associated with reduced risk of coronary artery disease. To evaluate
whether increased HDL-C levels are protective against ischemic stroke, Sacco
and colleagues analyzed data from the Northern Manhattan Stroke Study, an
incident case-control study in an elderly, multiethnic population. Overall,
high levels of HDL-C (35 mg/dL or greater) were associated with a reduced
risk of ischemic stroke. In subgroup analyses, the association between elevated
HDL-C levels and reduced risk of ischemic stroke was significant among participants
aged 75 years or older and was present among different racial and ethnic groups.

Risk-adjusted outcomes have been used to assess the effectiveness and
quality of care for a variety of clinical conditions. In this study of patients
hospitalized with hip fracture at 4 hospitals, Hannan and colleagues used
medical record data and information from interviews with patients and their
proxies to develop models to predict functional status (locomotion) and mortality
6 months after hospitalization. Significant predictors of 6-month mortality
included low prefracture locomotion, paid helper at home prior to fracture,
and higher modified APACHE score; significant predictors of locomotion status
included prefracture locomotion, age, and nursing home residence prior to
fracture. Adjustment for baseline patient characteristics altered interhospital
differences in outcomes, and the performance of 2 of the 4 hospitals differed
for functional status and mortality outcomes.
Fabry disease is a rare X-linked recessive glycosphingolipid storage
disorder without a specific treatment. It is caused by deficiency of the lysosomal
enzyme α-galactosidase A that results in accumulation of globotriaosylceramide
in a variety of cells, including endothelial, vascular smooth muscle, renal
epithelial, and dorsal root ganglia neuronal cells. In this trial, Schiffman
and colleagues found that patients with Fabry disease and neuropathic pain
who received infusions of α-galactosidase A had significantly greater
reductions in the severity of neuropathic pain and improvements in pain-related
quality of life than patients who received placebo. Renal pathology, renal
function, and cardiac conduction also improved in the α-galactosidase
A group, and body weight increased.
Walter and CovinskyArticle present a framework to guide cancer screening decisions
in older patients that starts with quantitative estimates of life expectancy,
risk of cancer death, and screening outcomes, and includes a qualitative consideration
of the benefits and harms of cancer screening based on a patient's unique
values and preferences. In an editorial, WelchArticle discusses the downsides of
cancer screening and illustrates the difficulty of communicating information
that patients need to make an informed choice.

According to a new Apple patent (number 20110141219) at the US Patent & Trademark Office the company is working on a way to use face detection as a metric to stabilize video during a video chat session.
Here's Apple's background and summary of the invention: "Many handheld wireless communication devices that are in use today provide video capturing capabilities. An example of such a handheld wireless communication device ("device") is a mobile phone that includes a digital camera for capturing still images and videos. With such a device, a user can record a video or conduct a live video chat session with a far-end user.
"During a video chat session, the image of the user (typically, the face of the user) is captured by the camera of a near-end device, and then transmitted over the wireless network to a far-end device. The far-end device then displays the image on its screen. At the same time, the image of the far-end user (typically, the face of the far-end user...| Read more »

It's estimated that 2.2 million employees are now teleworkers, using technology to do their jobs.
And it's likely to become even more common.
From April this year, employees with disabled children or children under six have had the right to ask for flexible working, including teleworking if they wish.
Employers have a duty to give such requests serious consideration.
The guidelines have been drawn up by the Department of Trade & Industry in conjunction with the TUC, the CBI and CEEP, the local government employers' organisation.
They cover all aspects of worklife, including:
The employment relations minister, Gerry Sutcliffe, says:"I'm pleased that this guidance has come together without the need for legislation to provide information for teleworkers about health and safety about taxation and expenses and about human resources such as recruitment and training and career progression."
The aim is to ensure that both sides know exactly where they stand in the relationship and who is responsible for what.
But the employee also has certain duties, such as assessing safety and reporting any health hazards.
"The home can potentially be a dangerous place," says Alan Denbigh of the Telework Association.
"Even if the most dangerous item you are going to be using is a PC or a telephone you have got to think about how you lay out the workplace and look for trailing cables and make sure that electrical safety is every bit as good as it would be in the office."
And people need to be aware that simply working from home does not mean they can claims electricity and wear and tear on their tax return.
They need to meet certain criteria about why they have to work at home.
About 7.4% of people are now teleworkers.
Alan Denbigh - who naturally works from home - believes it's the way of the future, with benefits for both sides.
"From the employer's point of view it means they are more likely to retain and recruit staff and they can save money on those expensive city centre offices," he says.
However, not everyone thinks all in the garden is rosy.
Stephen Alambritis from the Federation of Small Businesses says: "It's the small employer that has to deal with the resentment from the staff chosen to stay in the workplace who feel that they have been left out - why have other staff been allowed to work from home?
"In a large firm that won't happen - there'll be volunteers to work from home - but in a small firm it's the small employer who needs to deal with that growing resentment."

In the last several years, a number of the talking heads at Fox News have had the audacity to throw around the "bias" label, with National Public Radio (NPR) landing their ire on numerous occasions. In the wake of Ron Schiller's caught-on-camera moment, the pundits at Fox News have been firing on all cylinders, with their coverage of the video "sting" strongly painting a picture that NPR is a bias organization that leans heavily toward the left. An old proverb regarding pots and kettles certainly comes to mind here, doesn't it?
Let's compare these two organizations, shall we? NPR is a cultural output source. Most of their programming revolves around music, art, literature... you know, the stuff that establishes true culture. Their news coverage is strictly factual, reporting the events and nothing but the events, without the color commentary we typically see from other news outlets. Fox News, on the other hand, is a completely different creature. They very selectively report the stories that help them paint a broader picture, providing only the facts that aid in their brush strokes. When the facts and statistics prove that the left is correct about something, they exclude those facts and statistics from their reporting. Every ounce of their broadcasting time is filled by heavily opinionated pundits putting a right-wing spin on the events of the day... even during the few hours where they claim to be broadcasting "fair and balanced" news desk material.
Of course, if you're a fan of Fox News, you'll surely beg to differ with me here, because let's be honest: you agree with the assertions made by Fox News, and therefore, you're blind to their opinions, incapable of watching their broadcasts objectively. When you watch MSNBC, a network which doesn't hide the fact that they are liberally-bias, you roll your eyes and yell at the television, and when they present facts, you call them liars, even though you're unwilling to get off the couch, sit down at your computer, and spend some time trying to prove them wrong.
Let's get back to NPR. The reason some far-reaching conservatives believe NPR is bias can be directly tied to a subject I wrote about a few weeks ago, in an article titled The War on Intellectualism. The basic premise of the anti-NPR rhetoric is that NPR appears liberal, even though no one can actually point you toward a single comment made on-air at NPR that has any degree of liberal bias (check out this challenge presented by a fellow Newsvine columnist and try to prove that statement as false). How does NPR appear liberal? For an answer to that question, look no further than the aforementioned efforts by NPR toward cultural output. NPR dedicates a tremendous amount of their broadcasting time to covering the arts, and therefore, some conclude that they must be liberal, because only highly-educated liberal elitists would take pleasure in learning about how a djembe is made... or what a djembe even is. No one walks into a bar, slams a few quarters into a jukebox, and fires up some pan flute music, right? And for the past thirty years, we've been told with tremendous fervor that liberalism is represented by high society intellectuals who are out of touch with "real America." Therefore, NPR's intellectual broadcasts must in turn be a part of the liberal agenda, an agenda that regular people can't understand because they didn't attend some East Coast liberal university. It has nothing to do with NPR trying to broaden the minds of their listeners, so much as it's entertainment for the elite. These claims are insanity of the highest caliber, but it makes you wonder: If these folks assume that culture breeds liberalism, what then do they think breeds conservatism? A lack thereof?
As much as Fox News touts itself as being "fair and balanced," it's no secret amongst anyone with any ounce of objective reasoning that they're anything but. You might go so far as to say that Fox News is the quintessential bias network in popular media. They have to be, don't they? For a network that spends as much time slamming the "mainstream media" as they do bragging about how they top every other media outlet in ratings, and claiming to take a stand against "spin" while they themselves spin every story that they produce, they sure are quick to toss around the "bias" label. Let's not beat around the bush here. Fox News is labeling NPR as liberally-bias because they themselves are conservatively bias; it's a move that is equal parts "cover our tracks," "hide our own bias," and "criticize liberals because that's why people tune in to our network." Trying to paint it as anything less would be negligent.
A conservative once responded to one of my articles by claiming that "facts have a liberal bias." They claimed that when you take facts and statistics at face value, they always appear to support the liberal side of an argument, but if you read between the lines, or if you extrapolate those facts out for a few decades, you'll find the real truth... the hidden truth. Perhaps that's what Fox News is doing. Perhaps that network is made up entirely of people who know something about factual data that I do not. But as innocent, or as innocently ignorant, as anyone could hope to paint them, Fox News is still the most bias organization in popular media today. For their network to criticize anyone else for being bias would stand as an oxymoron of the highest order.

Hyperink, a Content Farm That Grows Books
When Kevin Gao quit his consulting job at McKinsey three years ago, he knew he wanted to start his own business. The trouble was, he was expert in only one thing: getting a job at McKinsey. Relatives and friends kept seeking his advice on landing a job in consulting. "I'm fundamentally a little bit lazy," says Gao. "So I thought, why keep answering the same e-mails and phone calls if I can just really do it once?" Gao, now 27, wrote down his thoughts on interviews, case studies, résumés, and cover letters in a 90-page tract he called The Consulting Bible and began selling the e-book at $25 apiece. Last year, he says, the title made more than $100,000, and the book's unexpected success got Gao thinking. "There are millions of people out there like me who have interesting knowledge about all these random topics," he says. "But to market a book online there are a thousand steps that I had to figure out through trial and error."
That line of thought led Gao to create Hyperink, a kind of middle-brow content mill that launched on Oct. 26. Similar outfits such as Associated Content and Demand Media — which went public earlier this year and now trades at a market capitalization of about $500 million—pay cheap freelancers to write a few hundred words on perennial questions, like how to tie a Windsor knot, then sell ads next to the articles. Critics say such companies spit lots of low-quality information onto the Web. Hyperink pitches itself as a way to achieve the same kind of massive scale for publishing expert advice. It's raised $1.2 million from venture capital firms, including Andreessen Horowitz and Lerer Ventures.
Hyperink has been in trial mode and selling volumes since January. It now has more than 150 e-books, including guides on how to get into Harvard Business School or market Android applications. There are no ads; e-books sold through the site typically go for $25 and between $2.99 and $9.99 when sold through e-bookstores for Amazon's Kindle, Barnes & Noble's Nook, or Apple's iBook. (The more expensive versions sold through the site include videos and other extras.) Gao says the average Hyperink title that went on sale in January has already earned back its production and marketing costs and is profitable. The plan is to churn out thousands a month.
To reach that kind of volume, Gao and five full-time staffers in San Francisco have created software to predict in-demand topics. The algorithm takes in datasets, such as recent book sales figures and popular Internet searches, to determine what kinds of titles to produce. They then hunt for what they call "domain experts" by advertising on Facebook, enlisting consultant-for-hire services such as Evisors, and simply calling around.
The pitch to authors: You can have a finished book in a matter of weeks, rather than the months or even years it can take at traditional publishers. Authors who compose a book on their own get half the revenue, after vendors such as Amazon take their cut. For those who are too busy—or are just bad writers—Hyperink will find a freelance ghostwriter (on Craigslist, mediabistro.com, or JournalismJobs.com) to do a two-to-three hour interview and then write the book. The interview questions are influenced by the same data-sifting software that picks the topic in the first place. "If we're talking about dog training, we have a good understanding of the types of breeds people would be interested in," says Gao, "so we make sure we cover those breeds when we're creating the book." The expert behind the book receives a 25 percent cut, with a smaller amount going to the ghostwriter. For now, Hyperink doesn't pay advances.
"It's an intriguing option for someone who has never written anything," says Albert N. Greco, a marketing professor at Fordham University and co-author of The Culture and Commerce of Publishing in the 21st Century. "But the bottom line is the odds work against anybody who does this." He points to data from the book-tracking firm R.R. Bowker on the more than 3 million new titles published last year. "If you publish a book today, you're going to be one of 8,473 for the day. What sort of attention can you possibly get in the marketplace even if this company does a spectacular job?" Hyperink says it markets its books by making sure popular key words appear in product descriptions online and in e-bookstores run by others.
While Hyperink aims to produce meatier content than a content mill, it also plans to be nimbler than a traditional how-to publisher—a market currently dominated by John Wiley & Sons's For Dummies series. "There are experts around the world that have not yet written the book on how to work with papier-mâché or how to cook with oil," says Scott Weiss, a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz who took part in the decision to invest in Hyperink. Instead of College Admission Essays For Dummies, Hyperink can produce 30-to-50-page volumes on the admissions process at hundreds of different schools. "Probably 800 people a year would buy How to Get Into Amherst," says Weiss. Gao won't reveal whether that would be enough to turn a profit but says Hyperink is "focused on that long tail of publishing." If his model works, it will grow a lot longer.
The bottom line: Hyperink has raised $1.2 million from Andreessen Horowitz and other investors to create a nimble online publisher.

|Remington No. 4 Rolling Block .22 Solid Frame
Remington first introduced the single shot No. 4 rolling block rifle back in 1890. Calling it the "Boys Rifle" it was a smaller, lightweight (4lb 4 oz) version larger Remington rolling blocks used by the army and buffalo hunters. An appealing thought to little boys at the time.
Undoubtedly there were many letters to Santa with the No. 4 on the top of the list, and dog-eared pages in Sears Catalogs. In fact the No. 4 boys rifle was wildly successful, with over 157,000 made in a twelve year period.
This rifle is dedicated to all the boys out there, young and old.
See Roy M. Marcot's The History of Remington Firearms for an excellent historical account of this classic American company.
