Pontiff Francis reportedly spoke with emotion yesterday, calling for greater compassion and concern for the needy of the world. He did this as he called for a less worldly and more humble church.
Francis said all members of the church, including bishops, cardinals and the pope himself, had to avoid the pitfalls of attaching importance to worldly things and to be more humble.
"Worldliness brings us to vanity, arrogance, pride and these are idols … All of us have to strip ourselves of this worldliness," he said.
Francis was reported as being visibly moved when he heard the stories of some of the poor people in the room. "Many of you have been stripped by this savage world that does not give employment, that does not help, that does not care if there are children in the world who are dying of hunger, does not care if so many families have nothing to eat," he said.
He decried a world "that does not care about many people who have to flee poverty and hunger, flee seeking freedom and many times they find death, as happened yesterday in Lampedusa".
Francis was referring to the sinking of a migrant boat off the southern Italian island, in which more than 300 people are believed to have died. "Today is a day for crying," Francis said of the tragedy.

- Everyone had at least one moment (even Batman), but generally anything involving Blue Beetle and Booster Gold was hilarious.
Booster: Things can't get any worse!Beetle: Never say that.Booster: Why not?Aquaman: There you are! I'd like to have a word with you two.Beetle: That's why not.
- After Maxwell Lord, Batman, and Martian Manhunter learn Blue Beetle and Booster Gold opened a Justice League-themed casino.
Batman: The real question is, where did they get the money for it? Last I heard, those two were flat broke.Max: Oh, no! NO! *Runs out of the room.* They wouldn't! They couldn't!Batman & Manhunter: They did.Max: THEY DID!Manhunter: If this keeps up he's going to give himself an ulcer.Batman: He already has an ulcer. He's headed for a nervous breakdown.*The next panel shows Maxwell sitting in front of a giant computer with his head in his hands. On the monitor is displayed "Available League Funds: $0.00"*
- While Animal Man's treatment as a completely useless hero was rather harsh and unfair, his dialogue while trying to find a nearby animal to "absorb" its "powers" as a fight broke out always cracks me up:
Animal Man: Hold on, guys, while I... *Sees nothing but a small mouse nearby* While I...Mouse: Squeak!Animal Man: Yeah, I think you're cute, too.
- Guy Gardner challenges Batman to a fistfight for leadership of the League. One punch later...◊
Canary: Oh God, I'm depressed...
- Even better — he doesn't wake up from that punch for two issues.
- Black Canary nearly goes into a Heroic B.S.O.D. over having missed it.
- And before the punch, Captain Marvel tries to step in and stop the fight from happening, but Batman tells him to stay out of it. As he leaves, he begins to pout (bear in mind he's actually a kid in an adult's body).
- Even better — he doesn't wake up from that punch for two issues.
- One time Guy attempted to use his ring to quickly salvage a wrecked spaceship. The way he did it caused the ship to snap in half. A visibly furious Guy has a large speech bubble with only a "*" in it. The footnote on the panel reads "Expletives. Lots of 'em."
- The time Mr Miracle tried to land the League ship on the roof of their new brownstone headquarters . . . and ended up destroying the top two floors because Earth buildings aren't always designed to support large aircraft.
- Anything with the Injustice League, who in this incarnation were an entire assembly of Ineffectual Sympathetic Villains. Taking the cake, though, would be when they turned over a new leaf and joined the League, and got assigned to Antarctica. And even there they got into trouble, fighting against a horde of killer piranha penguins.
- Not from the series itself, but a Whole Episode Flashback in the Ostrander Martian Manhunter series: the entire fiasco when Booster and Ted stole J'onn's Chocos.

Tissue expansion is a technique used by plastic and restorative surgeons to cause the body to grow additional skin, bone or other tissues.
Skin expansionEdit
Keeping living tissues under tension causes new cells to form and the amount of tissue to increase. In some cases, this may be accomplished by the implantation of inflatable balloons under the skin (see figure). By far the most common method, the surgeon inserts the inflatable expander beneath the skin and periodically, over weeks or months, injects a saline solution to slowly stretch the overlaying skin. The growth of tissue is permanent, but will retact to some degree when the expander is removed.[1] Breast reconstruction surgery, for example, can use this technique when the mammary gland was removed by surgery (mastectomy). Later, a more permanent breast implant filled with saline or silicone gel is inserted under the expanded skin pocket.
In other applications, excess skin is grown purposely by expansion on the back or the buttocks, so that it can be harvested later for transplantation to another site where skin was lost due to trauma, extensive wounds, surgery, burns, etc.
Tissue expansion has also been used for the technique of foreskin restoration, which is usually non-surgical and applies tension externally using specialized devices to replace circumcised tissues with new cells.[2]
Bone expansionEdit
Bone is another tissue that can be expanded relatively easily, by using external devices which are slowly separated using mechanical contraptions, so that bone grows in response to elongation (bone distractor). Other techniques and external devices have been studied and have shown some success, such as in the fitbone surgery.[3] This technique was pioneered in 1951 by the Russian physician Ilizarov, and is called the Ilizarov apparatus. It is capable of lengthening limbs in cases of pathological loss of bone, asymmetry of limbs, dwarfism, short stature, etc. In reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, bone expanders have been used to elongate the mandibula in cases of congenital disorders, trauma, tumors, etc. Other newer devices such as the orthofix and intramedullary skeletal kinetic distractor (ISKD) are also used for limb lengthening. It can add over 6 inches per bone, but is expensive, painful, and time-consuming (each procedure lasts around 8–12 months).

And by "this" I mean drunken self-exposure. Oh wait, it's not a selfie. Now who is taking this picture? I'm guessing the ice machine repair guy.
Because when a guy buys a bottle of white wine at a gas station and takes it to a cheap motel off the interstate, then puts on his own bathrobe because the motel doesn't provide them, and then he walks down the hall of the hotel for a bucket of ice to chill the wine and the ice machine repair guy is wearing dirty overalls and cursing at the ice machine yet secretly praising it because it's only broken ice machines that allow him to earn a living, that guy (the bathrobe guy) is guaranteed to invite the other guy (the cursing guy) to his room for a glass of warm white wine. And what pairs well with white wine?

text: An iPhone for just over 50p per day? That's not a dream, it's reality if you head down to Carphone Warehouse.But it's perhaps not the iPhone you would ideally want. Carphone Warehouse is now offering a contract deal (24 months) for the 8GB iPhone 4 for just £17 per month. The iPhone 4 might lack the likes of Siri, but it does come with the latest version of iOS and runs all the apps in the app store. With that in mind, it's not a bad deal on the face of it.'Launching the cheapest iPhone tariff is an exciting move for Carphone Warehouse,' Graham Stapleton, Chief Operations Officer for the company said. 'Many of our customers want the opportunity to own the iconic Apple handset, but at a tariff that works for them.''Even though smartphones are mainstream, there are still thousands of customers who are upgrading from a feature phone to a smartphone, and this deal is perfect for them.'The deal is offered via the both O2 and Three networks, with an 8GB iPhone 4 on O2 coming with 300 monthly minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB of data. The Three deal has 500 inclusive minutes, unlimited texts and a 250MB data allowance.Interestingly, Apple has a budget iPhone in the works, so this might not be the ideal deal for anyone looking to go budget. But if you can't wait, you know where to go.Source: Trusted Reviews

New and notable in Massachusetts this week is daylily rust (Puccinia hemerocallidis), a fungus that attacks, you guessed it, daylilies. The Massachusetts Introduced Pests Outreach Project put out this pest alert to warn nurseries and gardeners of the first diagnosed case of the year. The rust has only been known in Massachusetts since around 2003, and was discovered in the U.S. in 2000. Its hosts appear to be limited to the non-native Hemerocallis (daylily), Patrinia, and Hosta genera.

What a week!
The NFL returns to London for the second consecutive season, with a considerably stronger matchup (Chargers/Saints) than last year's (Giants/Dolphin). And while it's not a football storyline, we also have the World Series captivating two cities, with the Fall Classic heading to Philadelphia for the weekend.
So, keeping those fine cities in mind, for this week's "Called Out!" I thought I'd be kind. I've brought some tea and crumpets, and a plate of cheesesteaks, to keep our experts' tummies full. Yes, always mindful of keeping Matthew Berry, Christopher Harris, Erik Kuselias and Eric Karabell well fed after they pour their hearts into their Week 8 rankings.
Strangely enough, the cheesesteaks seem to be going a little quicker than the crumpets but I digress.
Let's kick things off. Here's Matthew Berry!
Not that I'm anti-Texans this week, not by any means, but I think people might be interested in the rankings split you have between Steve Slaton (No. 4) and Ahman Green (43). Apparently you're not remotely concerned about Slaton losing touches, even though they were five off each other in Week 7? Love the matchup, but I think that's a pretty big argument people have against Slaton being a top fantasy back.
Berry: I guess, but you're basing a lot on just one game. And if you look at that game closer, Green had only seven carries through the first three quarters. He didn't get a lot of work until after the game was well in hand. The things I know for sure are this: Slaton is their main guy, and this is a defense that gave up two rushing touchdowns (and a passing TD) last week to Mewelde Moore. I don't disagree that Green is an interesting flex play, but speaking as a former Green owner, I also know he will break your heart. Slaton's a guy I trust. I'm not willing to put that much stock in Green based on just one game.
Cockcroft: Oh, that Ahman Green will, though Marques Colston has done a fine job breaking my heart this season. A last-minute scratch in Week 6 -- when he was supposed to make his comeback -- and then zero catches in Week 7? Yet, for some reason, you rewarded him with a top-10 ranking, while our other four guys have him no higher than 19th. No love for Antonio Cromartie?
Berry: Well, the Saints lost Reggie Bush, which means more passes to go around. And they lost the Carolina game bad. This means I don't think they want to repeat what they did against the Panthers, and that includes ignoring Colston. Carolina played a quarter defense against the Saints, rushing four and dropping the linebackers back, forcing Brees to just throw underneath a lot. And my guess is the Chargers will try something similar. The problem is that San Diego doesn't have the pass rush that Carolina does and won't be able to pull this off effectively, which means lots of crossing routes for Colston over the middle. There's a reason no one in the NFL has given up more passing yards than the Chargers.
Cockcroft: You know, I really wish someone could explain that to me. That defense was great last year, and a popular No. 1 pick as deep in the preseason as Labor Day. And don't tell me it's all Shawne Merriman's absence, I don't buy that!
Anyway, so who do you see containing Antonio Bryant in that Dallas secondary to rank him as low as you have (35th among receivers)?
Berry: In every game Jeff Garcia has played this year, he has thrown one touchdown pass. Not two, not zero, one. Always one. If we assume that history teaches us he's going to throw only one touchdown pass again, why are to assume that it's going to Bryant this week? He has only one touchdown on the year himself. The last time he had a big week -- Week 3 -- he followed that up with a stinker, four catches for 39 yards. Two weeks ago, before his huge game, he had one reception for 13 yards. The Bucs might have Joey Galloway back, and they're on the road, which means they'll probably run a little bit more. And Bryant has just been too inconsistent to rank him any higher.
Cockcroft: Finally -- and I did this with Harris regarding Gus Frerotte last week -- I'm putting this soap box down, asking you to step on it, and declare why Dustin Keller warrants a No. 9 ranking for Week 8?
Berry: Honestly, I don't have many great reasons. This one is a gut call. But Laveranues Coles and Jerricho Cotchery are banged up, and he does have two touchdowns in his last four games
Cockcroft: My gut -- and a decent-sized one at that -- says it's time for a snack. Wish you guys hadn't eaten all those cheesesteaks already. That, or it's time to turn things over to our resident Pats fan, Christopher Harris!
So the Pats fan is decidedly anti-Pats this week, apparently. I know, the Rams are on a roll defensively. But I have a feeling most people will look at St. Louis' overall pass defense ranking and think a lot more of Matt Cassel than you do. Plus, it's a home game. Is he really that much of a definite sit?
Harris: I really think he is. The nice effort against the Broncos was kind of Denver's perfect storm of terribleness against the run, Champ Bailey getting hurt and the Broncos' offense doing nothing, thanks in part to Jay Cutler's freak finger injury on the game's first play. Along with J.T. O'Sullivan, Cassel is one of only two quarterbacks to be sacked more than 20 times this year, and that's a Kitna-esque recipe for disaster. The Pats don't go down the field very much, and Cassel holds the ball way too long. I honestly don't think Cassel is a fantasy starter against any opponent, including St. Louis.
Cockcroft: Christopher, I'll give you this, against the three defenses ranked worse than the Rams that he has faced, Cassel has averaged 11 fantasy points. Very ordinary. Plus, Jim Haslett does seem to have turned the Rams around defensively the past two weeks, totaling three interceptions, seven sacks and allowing only 404 yards and a score through the air. I guess, judging by those trends, it does make sense.
Still, in the same breath, I'll add that Haslett's Rams have allowed their opponent's starting running back 100-plus yards and a score in each of those two contests. For that reason, it's curious that you're also anti-Sammy Morris. Now, his health is an issue. Perhaps you have some tidbit related to that you might share, because I look at the matchup and can't see how he wouldn't roll all over the Rams?
Harris: Uh, yeah, health is a huge issue. Morris missed Wednesday's practice in its entirety, which is a very bad sign for Patriots players. In fact, if he doesn't practice by Friday, he's almost certainly not going to play in this game -- which is the best way to get injury info out of the Belichickians. Either way, you must have a solid alternative ready to go if you're counting on Morris, and for me, that's not a recipe for someone who should be ranked above No. 24.
Cockcroft: What about BenJarvus Green-Ellis? Any chance he'd start, or would it be LaMont Jordan? Where might you rank either guy, tiers-wise, if one of them starts?
Harris: It sounds like Jordan is actually getting less likely to play; he was a full participant in yesterday's walkthrough but was limited in Thursday's action. BenJarvus Green-Ellis does figure into the starting equation now, though we won't know anything for certain until right before game time. If Green-Ellis is the starter, I have to believe Kevin Faulk will have a very big role in the game plan -- he might anyway -- and that would put both of them in deep-league flex territory, at best, in my mind.
Cockcroft: Christopher, I think you know as well as anyone I'm a huge Josh Morgan fan. I was in the preseason, and I'm glad to see him getting a chance to finally play. Putting him 32nd is effectively an endorsement of the guy at least as a flex play, and I do agree with it. How wrong is everyone to overlook him?
Harris: This looked like a smarter pick when I submitted it Wednesday morning. Then Morgan went out and missed practice Wednesday because of a sore groin, so you must be at least a little concerned, and have to make sure he practices later in the week. But assuming he does, Morgan should be a flex play. As I crowed all August, Morgan is the most athletic receiver on a pass-oriented team, and now he's a starter over the disappointing -- told you so! -- Bryant Johnson. I watched that 49ers/Giants film, and Morgan leaps off the screen: He's a deep threat, is a great leaper, and runs good enough routes to get open. He had one hellacious drop on a long pass in that New York game, but he also caught a touchdown. In the coming weeks, as my ranking brethren figure out who Morgan is, you'll probably be asking me, "How come you have Josh Morgan so low?"
Cockcroft: Nope, not me! But then I drafted the guy in what, three, four leagues? It pained me to let him go in one or two of those, but I so desperately needed the roster space and couldn't afford to wait.
Finally, Jamal Lewis ranked No. 10 despite a road matchup against the Jags? Even in your today-to-year's-end rankings, you're still awfully faithful in Lewis overall. Why is that?
Harris: The past two weeks, against two defenses designed for the run-blitz and with stellar reputations for stopping opposing backs, Lewis racked up 88 and 80 yards, respectively, and scored a touchdown. Joe Thomas and Eric Steinbach are playing much better on that Cleveland offensive line, and I believe Lewis is back to the point where he was last year, when he turned into an automatic, every-week start and I was being chastised for not liking him enough. Meanwhile, the Jags aren't the run-stopping force you remember from last year: Without Marcus Stroud to team with John Henderson, they've been 13th-friendliest against opposing fantasy backs this season, though I grant you, they've been most vulnerable to smaller backs who catch passes out of the backfield. Basically, you nailed it: I have faith in that Cleveland offensive line, and I'm going to rank Lewis as a fantasy starter more weeks than I won't.
Cockcroft: I can't imagine many weeks I'd sit Jamal Lewis, either, but No. 1-back value? Bold call, I'll give you that. Next up, it's Erik Kuselias!
Erik, what is it that you see in Earnest Graham this week to rank him 11th? He has averaged barely better than two yards per carry each of the past two weeks and gets to tangle with the Cowboys, ranked 13th against the run.
Kuselias: Since when is "ranked 13th against the run" supposed to make me quake in my boots? Or dress shoes, or feety PJs, or whatever I happen to be sporting.
Dallas is an absolute grease fire on defense. In fact, they are so awful that the head coach says he will have to take over the defense and hopes to get it straightened out after the bye week -- which is after next week's game. Steven Jackson is still smiling after torching Dallas for a buck sixty and three touchdowns, and he had been awful before that game.
So, when Graham, who has scored in each of his past two games and in three of his past four, gets to run roughshod over this mess of a defense, and we see Warrick Dunn is on the injury report as questionable (meaning, according to the NFL, he's 50/50 to play), Graham becomes a No. 2 running back.
Cockcroft: It's been a three-game trend by you, but judging by your pro-LenDale White stance from early in the season, I find it interesting that you're now a Chris Johnson fan. White still got Tennessee's three goal-line plays in Week 7, scored twice on them and had the better fantasy day. I know you're declaring them both definite starts, but why the shift in opinion on which back makes the stronger play?
Kuselias: Of course I love LenDale White. Heck, before the season started I called him the "most underrated commodity in fantasy football," and he has done nothing but deliver. He is the poster boy for my philosophy "touchdowns matter." But, if White doesn't have an 80-yard touchdown run in Week 7, CJ would have had the better game. Plus, CJ has been better of late. Raise your hand if you're counting on another 80-yarder from the "Chubster?" Yeah, me neither. So both guys should be in the lineup, but CJ slightly higher.
Cockcroft: You also said, in Week 2, "only a drunken fool would prefer Chris Johnson to LenDale White," and White has outperformed CJ in fantasy, 66-63, since then. But I like that you're coming around to Johnson. I agree that they're both must-plays this week. By the way, kudos to White for making Twinkie-lovers everywhere believe that, yes, even they can scamper 80 yards without passing out.
Erik, I'm also going to return to another past discussion topic of ours, and that's Peyton Manning. Now, kudos on the correct call on Peyton in Week 6; he did tear up that Ravens defense for 22 fantasy points. Of course, then he followed it up with a miserable five points against Green Bay last week. And now he heads to Tennessee to face a defense that has allowed one passing score in six games all season. How can you be so faithful that Manning will remain top-five worthy, as inconsistent as he has been?
Kuselias: I watched the Colts/Packers game to the bitter end. Every single glorious (if you're a Packers fan) or putrid (if you root for the Colts) play. And the numbers don't tell the story. Manning had two touchdowns in the fourth quarter get called back. You heard me, not one but two touchdowns. After the second, Rhodes got the ball from the one-yard line. Manning also had a weird interception near the end zone, returned 90-plus yards for a touchdown, where his receiver committed a rare sin.
If you just look at the numbers, you don't see that without some bad luck Manning would have kept his fantasy numbers rolling. Then again, if you just look at numbers, you're not going to be very effective as a fantasy expert. Tennessee is better against the run than the pass, Indy will throw it often and he is the best healthy quarterback in the free world (can't speak to the oppressed nations). Putting him fifth is accurate and fair, and reflects someone who is actually watching.
Cockcroft: Interesting comment on the numbers, seeing as fantasy, really, is all about the numbers. But I absolutely know what you mean in football. I simply can't trust a guy -- not as a top-five option -- who has been wholly inconsistent all season.
Last, but certainly not least, and decked out in his light-blue 1980s Mike Schmidt t-shirt, it's hap-hap-happy Philly sports fan Eric Karabell!
Eric, I imagine you have zero concerns about Willis McGahee's balky knee to have him ranked as high as sixth this week against the Raiders? Great matchup, sure, but that knee -- and the reports surrounding it -- trouble me.
Karabell: I wouldn't say zero concerns about McGahee, but the matchup is good, and where did his competition go? I do, in a way, question his durability to stay 100-percent healthy, but that's the same for other players who generally play hurt, like Brian Westbrook, for example. Not that I'm comparing Willis and Westbrook because I'm not, but I did rank McGahee better. McGahee was out there in Week 7 running for 105 yards and a touchdown, so he can play through these knee woes. I think he can run on the Raiders as well. Another reason I'd make him a start is because there's no longer a threat of Le'Ron McClain or Ray Rice stealing touches. I'm not really sure why, to be honest, since McClain was so productive, but now it's all McGahee, who is playing through his knee woes.
Cockcroft: Speaking of Westbrook, it's interesting that the Eagles fan is the one who least likes him for this week. Why do you see Westbrook being more of a No. 2 back in his return to the lineup?
Karabell: The last time Westbrook played, he ran for 33 yards. Sure, he caught the ball and he scored, but I don't think coach Andy Reid wants Westbrook to touch the ball 25 times this week. Correll Buckhalter has earned the right to get double-digit carries, and he did well catching the ball. Look for Westbrook to see limited action, especially if Donovan McNabb punctures the Falcons' secondary, like we think he will. As for me being an Eagles fan, is football season actually still going on? I thought it was still baseball season!
Cockcroft: For you it is. Any truth to rumors you're going to the staff Halloween party as the Philly Phanatic? Only if the Phils win, I bet.
Having Dominic Rhodes at No. 18 suggests to me that you think Joseph Addai is definitely out, but it also perplexes me because he's facing Tennessee. Why so faithful?
Karabell: Yeah, it kind of perplexes me, too! It's not that I expect a great day for Rhodes, but I think he's going to get goal-line carries among his 20 or so touches. Even if he ends up with 50 yards against the tough Titans, a touchdown will make him worth using in fantasy. We just have to pick our spots on when we think a player will hit the end zone, I guess. I'm not confident Addai will play, or that he will get more touches than Rhodes even if he does.
Cockcroft: Finally, is Vernon Davis terrible or what? You might be the only person left willing to put him among your top-10 tight ends for any week, as you did this week.
Karabell: He is frustrating, but I've also had enough with the entire group at that position. I mean, who can we depend on? I don't want to rank John Carlson types in the top 10. What have they proven? Davis clearly has the ability, and I like his quarterback and running back this week, so I figured I'd give him one of San Francisco's touchdowns this week. Honestly, if the tight end position wasn't so lame, I probably wouldn't have. It's better than ranking Todd Heap.
Cockcroft: Heap has been pretty horrible. And boy, I remember writing about the tight-end explosion three, four years ago. What happened to all those guys? Only one tight end has averaged better than eight fantasy points per game, and that's Jason Witten, who has averaged exactly nine!
I know one thing that's not horrible: More cheesesteaks! Anybody wanna head to "Pat's?"

"We're hearing from Chinese TV stations that maybe they shouldn't be doing business with us," one BBC source tells me. "In the past this has happened with our news output but it's very unusual for drama – it is fiction, after all." It's thought Chinese officials are feeling particularly sensitive about Sino-Anglo relations in a week that UK Prime Minister David Cameron has led a trade delegation to the country. The Beijing government is unhappy with the way the 9th series of Spooks (aka as MI5) has portrayed Chinese secret agents as either nefariously plotting to blow up London or hacking into US-Anglo cyber-security. One insider at Kudos, the independent TV producer which makes the show, tells me he's surprised by China's reaction. "There is no country that Spooks has not portrayed in an unflattering light — including our own," he says. China represents a huge market for BBC Worldwide, which held its first China Showcase for local TV stations in Beijing in August. Although all Chinese TV stations are state-controlled, they compete fiercely for programming. BBC Worldwide has sold pre-school programmes including In the Night Garden and Teletubbies to China. There's also a Chinese version of Beeb format Dancing With the Stars. One Beijing-based media analyst tells me these flare-ups do happen from time to time – Sony, Disney and Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation have all felt the lash of China's tongue. Murdoch's Asian pay-TV service, Star TV, dropped BBC news from its channels in 1994 after officials complained. Last year, Chinese officials broke off dealings with the BBC after it broadcast a documentary commemorating the 20th anniversary of the pro-democracy protests in Beijing. BBC Worldwide says that it has heard nothing official and it is requesting information from the government. However, writing things down is not the way things work in China. Written proclamations are often ignored – it's what's said verbally that matters.Says one BBC insider: "How serious this is remains to be seen."
'Spooks' Gets BBC Into Trouble In China
14 Comments
Spooks is three seasons past its expiration date.
These incidents will continue to get even worse as China gets stronger in the worlds stage. God forbid we should have anything negative to say about their country or even portray them in a negative light on screen. Countries such as the UK, and the United States will continue to pander to China as long as they're one of the worlds largest creditors as well as emerging markets. I sometimes think that the world forgets that's dealing with a communist country. Unfortunately corporations and governments "which are becoming two of the same these days" can't see past their own greed, and will continue bend over backwards "or forwards" to appease China in any way possible. This same nonsense took place during the whole mid 90's Tibetan films affair. Anyone remember Disney and the Martin Scorsese film Kundun? Disney folded like a cheap suit and I think the BBC will as well.
Yes, lately we see what the world will look with a mighty China.
So glad to see China is in decline. I define decline as any country that has a franchise of "Dancing with the Stars", IQ's decline by the minute during each broadcast.
The west has the most dominant media infrastructure on the planet. They can blanket every home and movie theater with whatever they want.
They've used this leverage to create negative, 1-dimensional cardboard archetypes of peoples/countries all over the world, of course saving the positive nuanced models for themselves. Everyone's hated it and protested it, this isn't new. But what is is that now a country finally has the money and clout to make them stop it. And what is China doing that's gotten you so angry?
They're merely calling for basic common decency. And people don't like that?
I'm just grateful the Chinese do not send over suicide bombers and high-jack planes like other cultural groups who hate Western media.
Yeah, who the hell do the Chinese think they are??? Being unhappy about the west increasingly demonizing them as the bad guys in movies and television, and then having the AUDACITY to say they have a problem running shows that do it in their own domestic market? I mean, how could they possibly object to broadcasting a series ON CHINESE TELEVISION that portrays Chinese agents as the bad guys and British agents as the good guys? Clearly China's overly-sensitive reaction is indicative of the dangers of a world with a strong China.
For real, though…shout-out to JaySmack for being the first sensible voice here in the comments.
China should love Spooks. It is possibly the most anti-American show currently being offered by just about anyone. The last few years have been like watching an Al Qaeda propaganda TV show about the Eeeeeeeeeeevils of America.
the writers use every chance they've got to bash(wink) America, you don't see them complaining!
The only thing worse on SPOOKS (MI5) than showing China in a bad light… is showing ISRAEL in a bad light!
The more the west mamby pambies to China the worse it will get, however, perhaps the Chinese government is more worried about its activies in the west and anywhere else it feels like it. If it wants something they will pursue it without any concience. Spooks while being fictional is obviously hitting a raw nerve with China's government and intelligence agencies.
Thank God for "Freedom of the Press" which we enjoy in the west and the billion plus chinese are dying for.
Comment by Concerned said "Thank God for "Freedom of the Press" which we enjoy in the west? are you absolutely sure about that?
We may in some cases be alowed to say what we want in the west but be prepared to be shot down by the Zionist media Like Fox and to a lesser extent BBC just look at what they are saying about Wiki Leaks!
They have living proof on video about the killings the Army is involved in yet still they focus other bogus things like they should'nt release this type of thing cause it causes security risks etc what a load of Zionist media cover up crap!
If I was the BBC I would tell the Chinese to get stuffed. The Chinese can say what they want when they clean up their own dirty communist country.
it's important that at every step, defenders of free speech take a stand. Right now slavery exists in China and people are denied basic rights.

This paper reports the present status of SIRGAS 2000 Campaign processing, carried out by the IBGE Analysis Center. Besides IBGE, University of São Paulo (USP and São Paulo State University (UNESP are collaborating with some data analysis and processing. While USP has been providing regional ionosphere maps, UNESP is analyzing the quality of data collected during the campaign by different kind of receivers. In this paper will be presented the organization of the information collected (tracking files and forms and the data edition carried out. Another important information that will be presented is the processing strategy applied by using the Bernese software, version 4.2. Some preliminary results, together to the local ionosphere maps and the quality of the collected data will also make part of this paper. Keywords. Regional Network, GPS Processing, Ionosphere Maps 1 Introduction The SIRGAS (South American Geocentric Reference System is a project that includes all necessary activities for the adoption of a geocentric reference system, compatible with the modern position techniques and standards of precision, particularly the GPS (Global Positioning System. Initially, in 1995 was established a high precision reference network, making possible the integration of all national geodetic networks in South America, to ITRF (International Terrestrial Reference Frame. This first realization of SIRGAS network had a total of 57 stations with coordinates referred to ITRF94 (International Terrestrial reference Frame 94, in other words; SIRGAS was a
2 2 densification of ITRF94 in South America. During the IAG (International Association of Geodesy Scientific Meeting in 1997, was pointed out the concern about vertical component and was established the Working Group III (WG III, responsible for definition and establishment of a common vertical system for South America. In order to carried out the activities of WG III, tide gauges stations of each country where occupied. Additionally, aiming the maintenance of SIRGAS as a reference frame, a new realization was established in All countries of American continent participated in this campaign. This new was named SIRGAS2000. The SIRGAS2000 has about 180 stations, distributed in 21 countries. It was carried out from May, 10 th to 19 th. At this moment, two institutions, DGFI (Deutsches Geodaetisches Forschungsinstitut and IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics are developing the data collection, organization and processing. This paper reports the status of the activities being developed at IBGE and two others Brazilian universities, UNESP and USP. IBGE, thought Department of Geodesy, is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of Brazilian Geodetic System (SGB. Since 1997, Bernese software has been used to process GPS observations. Therefore, it was the chosen software to process SIRGAS2000 observations, making use of version 4.2 and its improvements. This paper is divided into three main parts. In the first part is described the organization and data preparation. The second part is dedicated to the evaluation of observations in some stations. The third part is detailed the strategy to be followed in the observations processing and additional information. 2 Data Organization Each station was organized with data file of 24 hours period, in RINEX format. The sampling rate for IGS (International GPS Service and some stations of NGS (National Geodetic Survey stations was 30 seconds and 15 s for other stations. A total of 184 stations were collected and organized. For details, see Table 1 and Figure 1. Initially, most of data in receiver format was converted to RINEX format. Some files had to be concatenated in 24 hours period. In a second step some informations, as station and antenna/receiver identifications (according to IGS standard as well as antenna height were verified. It was also defined a unique station identification of four digits. It is an important control for the future daily combination of solutions. There are no eccentric stations in SIRGAS2000 campaign. The second step involved the following tasks: Unify the station identification, in order to eliminate the duplicity; Check if receiver type, antenna type and antenna height was informed. Request this information from responsible agency when it s not available. Convert receiver and antenna type to IGS standards; Reduce antenna height measures from slant to vertical, referred to ARP (Antenna Reference Point. Table 1.

Initially, 23 stations were evaluated allowing to check the receiver data quality. This paper analyze the MP1 (multipath effect in L1 and MP2 (multipath effect in L2, percentage of good observations and the ratio O/slps (O=number of observation slps=number of cycle slips. For multipath evaluation a double frequency receiver is mandatory. Figure 2 and 3, show the minimum, mean and maximum values of MP1 and MP2, adopting the following receiver abbreviations: TR: Trimble; ASH: Ashtech; LE: Leica; RO: Rogue; JPL: JPS LEGACY; and AO: AOA. Considering that receivers were installed at sites with small or reduced multipath effect, the MP1 and MP2 are good indicators of receiver quality on both frequencies. From Figure 2, one can see similar performance of the different receiver types, but the JPS-LEGACY at GEOB station presented the worse values. The MP2, from Figure 3, shows Leica, Ashtech and Trimble-4700 with best performance. It may be due to better cryptography manipulation on L2 in these receivers. For a general analysis, it was calculated the average values of MP1 and MP2 of each receiver set, which are presented at Table 2. These results show the good performance of Leica CRS1000 and SR520 models in both carrier phases. Receivers with a good performance in L1 are Trimble 4700, Trimble 4000SSI and SSE models. At similar quality level are the Rogue SNR 8000ACT and Ashtech UZ-12. For L2 it is observed the better performance of Ashtech and Rogue SNR 8000 ACT. Table 2: MP1 e MP2 means values for each receiver. receiver / model MP1 MP2 LE-CRS1000 0,057 0,056 LE-SR520 0,063 0,1 TR ,198 0,313 TR-4000SSE 0,245 0,596

The problem of the station occupied with Trimble receiver should be due to local features, because the other Trimble stations did not show any problem. The indicator O/slps is shown in the Figure 5. This value represents the number of collected observation over mask elevation, divided by the number of cycle slips. Thus, a greater value means less number of cycle slips. The Leica receiver showed again the best performance. 4 Further Information for Processing The informations used to carry out tests to define the best processing strategy were: (1 Ephemeris : Combined IGS, SP3 files, reference ITRF97; (2 Earth Rotation Parameters ERP: files ERP from IGS combined orbits; (3 Reference stations coordinates: CODE (files CODXXXX.CRD (4 Antenna phase center offset and variation: Informations obtained at IGS. When this information weren t found at IGS, the values from NGS were used. The atmosphere perturbations (ionosphere and troposphere affect the GPS signal propagation, mainly due to the free charged particles, besides the high solar activity in the last years. With the goal of reducing the ionosphere refraction, CODE (Center for Orbit Determination in Europe developed the Global Ionosphere Maps (GIMs. The GIMs are generated on a daily basis in two formats; IONEX - IONosphere Map EXchange Format, IGS format, extension INX and CODE format (accepted by bernese software, extension ION. The TEC is modeled with a spherical harmonic expansion up to degree 12 and order 8 referring to solar-magnetic reference frame. ION file is organized in 12 sets of 149 coefficients (TEC and root mean square, for each 2 hours. The coefficients are derived from GPS observations of 136 IGS stations. In the American continent, about 45 stations contribute with ION maps. Following CODE recommendations, making use of GIMs in processing without linear combination strategy, two ION maps were tested; one carried out by CODE and other carried out by Department of Transportation Engineering, Polytechnic School University of São Paulo (EPUSP. The EPUSP maps got the contribution of 16 SIRGAS stations from North America and 15 stations in Central America. Both maps, CODE and EPUSP, have the same input parameters. 6 Processing Strategy The tests developed, aimed to analyze the best strategy to be adopted the final processing. Four strategies were tested: (1 Ambiguities were not solved, were eliminated in the final daily solution; 5 Ionosphere Maps
5 5 (2 Ambiguity resolution with QIF (Quasi Ionosphere Free strategy and later introduction in the final daily solution; (3 Ambiguity resolution with QIF strategy and GIMs/CODE. Introduction of solved ambiguities in the final daily solution. (4 Ambiguity resolution with QIF strategy and EPUSP ION map. Introduction of solved ambiguities in the final daily solution. Further adopted options and parameters were: The strategy forming the single difference phase files was OBS-MAX 1. The pre-processing step was made in session mode, detecting and correcting the cycle slips in the ion-free 2, L3 frequency combination (linear combination of L1/L2. Elevation mask of 15 and a sampling rate of 30 seconds and 15 seconds. No a priori troposphere model. The troposphere parameters were estimated in the whole process, even during the ambiguity resolution step strategy. The corrections of the troposphere delay at zenith for each station were estimated every 2 hours, having 12 daily correction numbers. Neill mapping function was adopted to compute corrections. Use of elevation-dependent weighting of the observations. Estimation of troposphere gradients parameters (one per station, using tilting mapping function. One station was chosen to constrain the daily final solution. 1 Maximum number of observation between two station. 2 The observation equation difference in phase, allowing to eliminate or minimizing some errors in GPS observations, as the one caused by the ionosphere refraction. Briefly, the results of tests performed, including 31 North (16 stations and Central (15 stations America stations, according the options/strategies mentioned, are presented on Tables 3, 4, 5 and 6. Table 3 and 5 show the number of ambiguities before and after the resolution. About 60% ambiguities were solved with QIF/GIMs strategy, producing better results. It can be seen on Tables 4 and 6, through small baseline. Adopting EPUSP ION map, more ambiguities were solved, but this was not reflected on the baselines. Table 3.

According to the obtained results, will be chosen the QIF strategy, making use of GIMs. More tests will be carried out with data from South America and EPUSP ION map, considering that GIMS/CODE have few stations in this part of continent. As a consequence of station quantity and Bernese limitations, the final processing should be divided into 9 blocks, comprising 22 stations. Considering that IGS stations have well determinate
7 7 coordinates and standard deviations, they will be the constrain for blocks on daily solutions. For the final solution, the combination of normal equations of all blocks will be carried out as a free network solution and IGS stations will make the link in each block. 8 References Rothacher M., Mervart L.

Newcastle were leading this game against the bottom side 1-0 at half time and controlling the game and it was a rare goal from captain Coloccini as the conditions got worse during the first half in pouring rain and a water-logged pitch.
And early in the second half we should have been two or three goals up after wasting a couple of golden opportunities – but then a wonder strike from Jordan Ayew from outside the box tied the game at 1-1.
And that´s how the game ended and it´s a very disappointing result for Newcastle at home to the bottom of the league side.
With Chelsea, Norwich and Bournemouth all winning their games earlier in the day, Newcastle drop to 4th bottom 3 points above Swansea who play at home to West Ham tomorrow.
If Swansea win that game we will be in the relegation zone for Christmas.
Fabricio Coloccini after scoring Newcastle´s goal on 38 minutes
The game started with the rain pouring down and Newcastle had much the better of the first half with Papiss Cisse missing a good header after 31 minutes from a cross by Janmaat but he was injured and he had to go off and on came Aleksandar Mitrovic.
Colo seems to have picked up a hamstring injury.
With the conditions getting worse, Newcastle took a vital lead after 38 minutes with a left wing corner came over to Coloccini in the inside right position and he drove the ball home first time with his right foot.
A nice goal form the captain although goalkeeper Guzan could have done better.
It was 1-0 at the half with Newcastle in control although the conditions were worrisome in case the referee had to abandon the game.
The conditions then started to improve as the second half started and Newcastle had chances to go further ahead and Siem de Jong should have done better with a great opportunity from just six yards out after being set up by good Wijnaldum play down the left, but he headed the ball wide.
Siem may now lose his starting place to Ayoze Perez against Everton next Saturday.
But then right out of the blue, Jordan Ayew after 61 minutes leveled the scores with a wonderful shot from outside the penalty box that gave Elliot no chance.
Both sides went for the win in the final 30 minutes and both sides had chances to score and win the game.
Wijnaldum had a great chance but drove his shot straight at the goalkeeper and Ayoze Perez also had a decent chance to win the game for Newcastle.
But near the end it was Rob Elliot who saved brilliantly from substitute Rudy Gestede when he tipped the ball over the cross-bar.
That saved Newcastle from an embarrassing defeat that many had half-predicted this week because of out total inconsistency.
Neither side could get the winning goal and the game ended in a stalemate and it was a good result for Aston Villa but 2 points lost for Newcastle.
But after wins against Liverpool and Tottenham this was another let-down by Newcastle who couldn´t beat a side who hadn´t won a game since the first game of the season and had collected only 3 points from their previous 15 league games – 12 of which they had lost.
It was half expected there would be a let down in a game where Newcastle were the overwhelming favorites to win.
But we are right back in relegation trouble again just 3 points above 3rd bottom Swansea who play tomorrow and if they win against West Ham we will drop down to 3rd bottom place for Christmas.
Not a good result for Newcastle today and a disappointing performance but we weren´t helped by a water-logged St. James' Park pitch.
But that´s simply an excuse.
And since 71% of fans in our poll thought we would win this game it is a real disappointment and there were a few boos at the end of the game.
We are at home to Everton next Saturday – Boxing Day – and we will need to win that game against a much better side than Aston Villa.
As Steve McClaren had said yesterday Newcastle are nowhere near out of relegation trouble – he´s so right.
