Eric Schmidt: Google AI Indistinguishable From Humans Within a Decade
Technology to pass Turing test within 5-10 years

May 24, 2013
Google CEO Eric Schmidt has predicted that the company will be capable of developing artificial intelligence for its programs that will be indistinguishable from a human being within 5-10 years.
During a question and answer session at Google's Big Tent event, which took place this week at the luxury Grove Hotel in Watford, UK, Schmidt responded to the question, "How soon before Google Now passes the Turing test?"
The Turing test is a concept first introduced in 1950 by British mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing which measures a machine's ability to exhibit behavior equivalent to a real human being.
After mentioning how IBM's Watson computer won Jeopardy, Schmidt responded that Google, "could do it in five to 10 years."

These two sides play again in Melbourne on Monday. Until then, goodnight.
Nope, that's it. Sri lanka score 19 off five deliveries from Laughlin to seal the victory with six balls to spare. The contrast between Laughlin and Starc was, well, stark. Perhaps the most telling contribution of the night was from Malinga, who made it near impossible for Australia to take full toll in the final overs. Those runs were the difference. Even 10 more would have made it interesting.
That's nearly it. Perera hits consecutive sixes off Laughlin. Brutal. One needed.
They need 18 from 12 and Mathews puts a full toss from Lauhglin into a mid-wicket gap for two. Another full toss! Oh dear. Mathews belts it for four. He smashes the next one into the pitch and over Laughlin's head but only a single this time.
This one going down to the wire ... Starc goes wide of off-stump and Perera has a swing and a miss. Got nowhere near the ball. Another huge whoosh! The ball slides across the sumps and misses the leg wicket by a coat of varnish. Finally, Perera gets bat on ball. Big finish from Starc and it's a dot-ball yorker! Sri Lanka 5-120 off 18Back to top
Mathews bunts it back down the pitch and Laughlin drops the return catch. It was deceiving and Laughlin perhaps rushed into the catch while off-balance, not realising he had more time. A whopping 10 from the over and they now need 22 from three. The momentum swinging again. Sri Lanka 5-116 off 17
Laughlin in for his third over. Sweet shot! Mathews takes on the cutters of Laughlin and launches him back over his head for six. Full swing of the bat. That went 90 metres, a premeditated shot.
The other Perera - Thisara - comes to the crease and Starc, in a nice rhythm, keeps him scoreless. Are the wheels coming off? Sri Lanka 5-106 off 16
OUT! Thirimanne backs away to Starc and a thick edge is caught by Voges. The umpire calls him back to check for the no-ball. Starc had his heel on the line. The third umpire confirms the dismissal and Thirimanne walks, helmet askew.
Finch comes in to make up the numbers, and captain Bailey will hope he induces a false shot because bowling, by his own admission, is not his forte. Thirimanne bashes him down the ground for FOUR! Finch shakes off the pain in his hand after he got a mitt to the drive. BANG! Another four, a little motre agricultural this time, keeps Warner frustrated. Each boundary went either side of him. Sri Lanka 4-104 off 15Back to top
Cutting keeps a good line and length to restrict Mathews and Thirimanne to a pair of singles first-up. Mathews jumps into the shot turning it around the corner leg-side for two; he repeats the shot, this time for one and it's seven from the over. Sri Lanka picking off the singles, and that's all they need to do with the odd boundary. Sri Lanka 4-94 after 14
Short wide one from Laughlin, attempted bouncer, lapses down leg side and Lahiru Thirimanne helps it one the way for FOUR! And another one. Thirimanne lashes another wide one and gets a thick edge that flies away to the boundary. Wade called upon to clean up another wide one. 12 off the over. Sri Lanka 4-88 from 13
Pressure all on Sri Lanka now and a tidy over from Maxwell does nothing to ease the tension. Sri Lanka 4-76 off 12
Big-hitting Mathews at the crease facing Doherty but he turns over the strike to Jayawardene. BOWLED HIM! Well, what a prized scalp for Doherty. That was a nothing shot from Jayawardene, and he bottom-edged it through to the stumps. Doherty finishes with figures of 2-21 off four. Sri Lanka 4-70 after 11
Well-judged catch from Cutting, taking a stride backwards and swallowing the catch above his head. Four! A classical back-cut from Jayawardene to finish the over. Maxwell's only slightly loose ball. Sri Lanka 3-66 off 10Back to top
Chandimal OUT! Maxwell's got 2-4 after Cutting takes the catch on the boundary from a Chandimal mis-hit. That's three quick wickets and momentum for Australia.
Doherty makes it spin from both ends. Jayawardene sends Dinesh Chandimal back after setting off for a single and Doherty has a shy at the stumps. Runs starting to dry up with two new batsmen at the crease - or at least at the same rate that young Perera was accumulating them. Run rate required up to near seven. Five singles from the over. Sri Lanka 2-60 off 9.
Maxwell has immediate success with his right-arm offbreaks! Perera backs away for the cut but gets a deflection off the gloves and Wade takes a good catch. Ian Healy take note. That wasn't half bad. Gone for 33. Sri Lanka 2-56 off 8
Jayawardene comes to the crease while Perera continues on his way, the latest shot a delicate late cut. He's looking very assured. That catch by Laughlin was superb: he was running towards the boundary while watching the ball coming down from behind. He completes the motion with a dramatic but necessary dive. Terrific focus and execution. Sri Lanka 1-52 off 7
Doherty comes around the wicket and it could be time for the Sri Lankans to make hay. Dilshan dances down the pitch but it's a brilliant diving catch by Laughlin!Back to top

The latest round of global climate talks began Monday in the Middle East, in one of the world's richest –- in dollars and oil –- nations.
The capital city of Doha, in Qatar, will for two weeks play host to the United Nations annual conference, officially known as the 18th Conference of the Parties and the 8th Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol.
The focus of the international meetings are expected to revolve around two areas: the Kyoto Protocol, which expires at the end of the year, and is the only binding agreement among nations to lower greenhouse gas emissions; and shoring up additional pledges from developed countries to aid developing nations in responding to climate change through adaptation and mitigation.
The 12-day gathering in Doha follows June's Rio+20 conference in Brazil on sustainability, and last year's U.N. climate talks in Durban, South Africa. Both conferences bore little in terms of concrete action, furthering criticism of the international talks' capability of seriously addressing climate change and limiting greenhouse gases.
In addressing the press on the opening day of negotiations in Qatar, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, said the conference delegates entered Doha amid two realities:
"It is very clear that over the past years, we have had more action on the ground, be it through investment in renewables, be it through domestic policy legislation, or any other way that you would like to measure it, we've had more policy on the ground, and we've had more international policy progress than we have had over the past 10 years.
"However, the other reality is that the door is closing [fast], on us, because the pace and the scale of action is simply not yet where it must be," she said.
Figueres also outlined the agenda participating governments have established for the talks, including working toward a new universal agreement by 2015; speeding up technical and financial support to developing nations by implementing past agreements, such as the Bali Action Plan; and to reach a more clear understanding of the financial commitments of the Green Climate Fund, which set a goal of $100 billion in support by 2020.
But the bulk of the work figures to focus on the Kyoto Protocol, specifically finalizing the negotiation stage of the first commitment period, and entering into the second commitment period, Figueres told the press.
The U.N. secretary said that such commitments would underscore "the trust that everyone must have that developed countries continue to take the lead in mitigation," while also preserving accounting rules "inherent in the Kyoto Protocol, which are the backbone of the environmental integrity of the system."
Agreed upon in Japan in Dec. 1997 and enforced starting in 2005, the Kyoto Protocol set binding emissions level targets for 37 industrialized nations, in an effort to cut combined emissions to five percent below 1990 levels. The first commitment period began in 2008 and ends Dec. 31.
What was Kyoto's goal? To curb the rise of global temperatures to 2 degrees C, when compared to pre-industrial temps. A recent World Bank report projected, at the current pace, temperatures will rise up to 4 degrees C by 2100.
How the United States engages the Kyoto discussions will be closely watched. While President Barack Obama said in his re-election victory speech that "we want our children to live in an America … that isn't threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet," he has given little indication of committing to a Kyoto extension. The U.S., at the time led by George W. Bush, never signed onto the agreement, in part because other high emissions countries –- China, India and Brazil (all considered developing nations) –- were omitted the carbon-limiting protocol.
The world's advanced economic nations like the U.S. must take a lead in Doha, said Caritas Internationalis, a Catholic social justice organization, in order to protect the poor.
"The world's poorest and most vulnerable people, especially smallholder farmers in developing countries, who suffer the consequences of a problem others created, need to be at the heart of the climate negotiations, said Caritas secretary general Michael Roy in a press release. "But how are these talks supposed to advance if rich countries retract the promises made to support their efforts to adapt to climate change?"
Jonathan Pershing is the primary U.S. delegate in Doha. In speaking with the press Monday, Pershing defended how America has engaged climate change, citing the president's higher fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks, and the country's aid to developing nations.
"It doesn't mean enough is being done," Pershing said, according to the Associated Press. "It's clear the global community, and that includes us, has to do more if we are going to succeed at avoiding the damages projected in a warming world."

text: While most people consider the swine-flu crisis primarily a health issue, it has the potential to be a serious personal-finance concern. Here are a few steps you can take to limit your economic exposure to the swine flu: Take basic precautions: A stay in a hospital could spell financial ruin. With many people out of a job and no longer covered by health insurance, the cost for treatment could be massive. Even a mild case of swine flu could end up costing hundreds of dollars in doctors' visits, treatments and tests, and lost work hours. The best way to come out financially sound during a crisis like this is to make sure you and your family don't get the swine flu in the first place. There are a number of steps to take to greatly reduce the risk of getting the swine flu (or any flu), such as washing hands often, keeping hands away from the eyes, nose and mouth, and avoiding crowded areas. It's also a good time to make sure your financial emergency kit is up to date and in order. Prepare beyond the basics: While taking basic precautions is essential, being proactive makes sense. Doing so will cost money upfront but will save hundreds over the long run if it ends up helping you avoid getting the swine flu. While there's no recommendation in the U.S. to wear surgical-type masks as there is in Mexico, purchasing a good supply to have on hand before they run out is a good idea.

Planetary Climates
This concise, sophisticated introduction to planetary climates explains the global physical and chemical processes that determine climate on any planet or major planetary satellite--from Mercury to Neptune and even large moons such as Saturn's Titan. Although the climates of other worlds are extremely diverse, the chemical and physical processes that shape their dynamics are the same. As this book makes clear, the better we can understand how various planetary climates formed and evolved, the better we can understand Earth's climate history and future.
"Prof Andrew Ingersoll has made many important contributions to planetary science through his career, and in Planetary Climates he wields his immense expertise to really get across the weirdness of weather systems on other worlds."--Lewis Dartnell, BBC Sky at Night
"[This] is an ideal introduction for science students and nonspecialist scientists, as well as general readers with a scientific background."--Lunar and Planetary Information Bulletin
"Like all works in the excellent 'Princeton Primers in Climate' series, this book presents content in the main body in a nontechnical manner, with little mathematical detail, but then includes detailed technical/mathematical information in sidebars and boxes so that various levels of more advanced discussion can be individually tailored to a particular group of students."--Choice
"In forty years of teaching similar material to undergraduates, I have not seen a better book. The subject is the science that underlies climate. Each chapter focuses in depth on one or two important concepts. Mathematics is avoided when not needed. But Ingersoll is not compromising. He gives full explanations of even difficult concepts, such as vorticity. There is no political material here, just carefully presented science. This is the book to assign prior to entering policy debates in an undergraduate course."--Peter J. Gierasch, Cornell University
"This clear and engaging book presents a sweeping tour of our solar system's diverse planetary atmospheres, providing a rich foundation on their structure, composition, circulation, climate, and long-term evolution. Explaining current knowledge, physical and chemical mechanisms, and unanswered questions, the book brings the reader to the cutting edge of the field. Highly recommended."--Adam Showman, University of Arizona

The former 'Criminal Minds' star is in charge of handling the case of Captain Cargen who was last season's cliffhanger.
Paget Brewster's first choice to return to television is "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit". The former "Criminal Minds" star has signed up for a guest appearance on the two-hour season 14 premiere which is scheduled to air on September 26.
THR, which reported the casting, said that Brewster is playing the head of the Public Integrity Unit at the District Attorney's office. She'll be tasked with handling the case against Captain Cragen (Dann Florek). Cragen was under suspicion of murder after waking up beside a dead woman in the 13th season finale.
The premiere episode will also feature previous "SVU" guests such as Laura Benanti, Pippa Black and Peter Jacobson. The series is moved to a new time slot, Wednesdays at 9 P.M.

Gerhardt ban another blow to Heart defenceMichael Lynch
Published: February 20 2013 - 3:00AM
MELBOURNE Heart will not field the experienced defender - Lucas Neill - it wanted when it lines up against Sydney at AAMI Park on Sunday. The Socceroo skipper's decision to spurn the Victorian side and join the Sky Blues thus lends this game, Alessandro Del Piero's second Melbourne coming, even more piquancy.
But, much to the chagrin of Heart coach John Aloisi, it will not be able to select the experienced defender it is used to relying on, Patrick Gerhardt, after he picked up another yellow card in the 2-0 loss to Newcastle last weekend, ruling him out.
This is Gerhardt's second suspension of the season, the utility having served a one-match ban after Christmas, missing the 3-2 loss in Wellington.
This ban is because he has been cautioned three times in the seven weeks since.
Getting booked is an occupational hazard for a central defender, but Gerhardt's timing could hardly have been worse given the focus on this game, which is being touted as a grudge clash following what appeared to have been Neill's 11th- hour change of mind to spurn Heart and sign with Sydney.
The tall Swiss defender of Liberian descent - he came through the youth system at leading Swiss club Young Boys, Berne - has been a bedrock of the Heart side this season and must be a contender for its player-of-the-year award.
Originally signed as a holding midfielder from Bosnian club Zeljeznicar (which won the cup and league double last year), Gerhardt was switched to the heart of defence after youngsters Curtis Good and Brendan Hamill were sold before the season started.
Meanwhile, Heart's attacking midfielder Richard Garcia says his team needs to be more strong-minded in its few remaining away games to be a chance of making the finals.
Heart has not, astonishingly, won outside of Melbourne since December 2011, when it hammered Sydney at Allianz Stadium.
Its only away win came against Melbourne Victory - at Etihad Stadium - in round one this season.
''Some of our performances away from home have been good, errors have cost us,'' Garcia said.
''It's something we are continually working on. We pretty much play the same football in the same shape, it's not got anything to do with that, it might be a mental thing.''
Garcia says that while Neill would have been a great addition to the squad, the players would simply move on and focus on beating him and his new teammates.
''We are not that far off it, and that's the beauty of the league. It's so tight, and look at Glory beating Central Coast the other night, bottom beating top, that's what's fantastic about the league.
''We are in that mix, we have to push on and be consistent,'' Garcia said.

Lampert family perseveres, opens new deli in McKeesport
After four years of planning and site preparation, Rick and Jan Kugler opened Lampert's Deli Express with smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.
The couple, who have owned Lampert's Market in McKeesport's Grandview neighborhood since 1993, hosted an emotional grand opening Thursday for their new deli and convenience store at 2010 Eden Park Boulevard.
"I've got to thank everyone who is here and who helped," Rick Kugler said. "We stuck it out."
The site has been frustrating for the Kuglers and the government officials who have helped to bring the project to fruition.
The Kuglers purchased the property through sheriff sale on Aug. 4, 2008. By November of that year, ground was broken to remove fuel tanks from a gas station that was one of several previous businesses on the site.
At that time, the Kuglers expected to be open by spring of 2009. But their vision was put on hold when construction halted and remediation began. The project needed to comply with state and federal environmental regulations.
The Lampert's Deli Express project was embraced by the West to West Coalition and redevelopment authorities of McKeesport and Allegheny County. In January of this year, the project was approved for a $200,000 loan of Community Infrastructure & Tourism Fund monies.
"It's just a mess down there. It's been a mess for 10 years," Rick Kugler said in January. "I took a shot 3 1⁄2 years ago. We're finally getting to the point where we can pull this off."
McKeesport Mayor Michael Cherepko said the Kuglers have shown nothing short of perseverance and the city appreciates their effort.
"We're all very much aware of this being an anticipated grand opening," Cherepko said. "It's not only going to be beneficial to our residents, but to this (Eden Park Boulevard corridor) as an educational and recreational area."
Lampert's Deli Express, located at the former site of a gas station, car repair center and various mini marts, is nestled among other businesses between the McKeesport Area High School campus and Helen Richey Field. It sits across the boulevard from the Penn State Greater Allegheny campus and many recreational attractions within Renziehausen Park.
The Kuglers hope customers will be drawn to the new store for hot breakfast and lunch items during their commute through that part of town. The deli menu includes hoagies with Lampert's meats, including hand-cut steak and homemade sausage. McKeesport favorites include Grandma's fried bologna and Isaly's chipped ham sandwiches. A new concoction, Pappy's pot roast sandwich, was invented by the Kulgers' grandchildren Mason and Madelyn as a must-add menu item. There are a variety of burgers, sides, entree salads and homemade soups.
"All of our soups and chili are made from scratch," Jan Kugler said.
During Thursday's grand opening, customers marveled at the building, which was rebuilt almost from scratch. Keeping only the floors and frame, crews rebuilt the parking lot, the store's interior and infrastructure.
Jan Kugler said there has been plenty of prayer involved in their waiting game, as she invited the Rev. Doug Burns of Christ United Methodist Church to offer a blessing on the new store.
"A worthwhile project is worth seeing through," Burns said. "And it's been accomplished."
State Sen. James Brewster, who was McKeesport's mayor when the Kuglers began their project, said "seeing it through" is more than getting the store open. It's about keeping it open.
"Our job when we leave here is to patronize this place," Brewster said. "Spend money. Don't just drive by and say, 'Boy, that looks nice.'"
Brewster thanked the Kuglers for their patience and perseverance, noting the process carried over three mayors, two senators and two county executives.
"Here's a couple that invested their money and put a lot on the line to put a business in our town — in McKeesport, in Allegheny County," he said.
Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald said Lampert's Deli Express is a source of pride, not only to the Kugler family, but the McKeesport community.
"It's a proud day," he said. "Everyone should be very proud of this grand opening."

The rapper, who is set to serve his time in prison on March, has undergone eight root canal procedures in one sitting on February 16.
Lil Wayne spent a marathon session in the dentist's chair on Tuesday, February 16 - reportedly undergoing eight root canal procedures in one sitting. The rapper was due to face sentencing on a charge of weapons possession on February 9 after pleading guilty, but the hearing was postponed to allow him to undergo oral surgery.
Dentists completed work on Wayne's teeth this week after an eight-hour session which saw the star undergo several procedures to repair and add implants and fix his remaining real teeth, according to TMZ.com.
The "Lollipop" hitmaker also reportedly underwent eight root canal procedures, which involves drilling into the tooth to remove the nerve and fill the cavity. The hip-hop star will be back in court in New York City on March 2 when he is expected to be handed a one-year prison sentence.

The Grant Study is a 68-year longitudinal study of two socially different cohorts: 237 physically and mentally healthy Harvard college sophomores from the classes of 1939-1944, and a second cohort of 332 disadvantaged non-delinquent inner-city youths who grew up in Boston neighborhoods between 1940 and 1945.[1] The subjects were all male, white and of American nationality.
The men were followed for 68 years until they reached the ages of 70 years for the inner-city group and 80 years for the Harvard cohort. The study, its methodology and results are described in two books by a principal investigator in the study, George Vaillant. The first book [2] describes the study up to a time when the men were 47 years of age, and the second book [3] to when the inner-city men were 70 years old and the Harvard group were eighty.
The men were evaluated at least every two years by questionnaires, information from their physicians, and in many cases by personal interviews. Information was gathered about their mental and physical health, career enjoyment, retirement experience and marital quality. The goal of the study was to identify predictors of healthy aging.
The study is part of The Study of Adult Development. The study included four members who ran for the U.S. Senate. One served in a presidential Cabinet, and one was President John F. Kennedy.[4] The study is unique partly because of the long time span of the cohort, partly because of the high social status of some the study participants.
Data from the study is used in The Study of Adult Development, and provides insight in to factors contributing to the good life.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/9/2013 (1439 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Mind-boggling traffic
I support Coun. Dan Vandal's motion to examine truck traffic on Provencher Boulevard (Truckers slam bid to ban rigs, Sept. 13). I am a person with mobility issues who lives on Provencher. The semi traffic on this street is mind-boggling. Also of great concern is their speeds.
While the roadbed might be built for heavy trucks, the neighbourhood is not. The racket and vibration disrupt life 24/7. I have had several close calls crossing the road as well.
Maybe if we switched all the traffic over to Manitoba Truckers Association president Terry Shaw's street, he would see the problem.
Coun. Dan Vandal would do well to acknowledge the role of bike and bus-only lanes in increasing downtown traffic congestion, not to mention the costs and mere transfer of traffic burdens that would result from his proposal.
Speaking for a vision
Your Sept. 13 editorial PQ plan must be stopped rightly asks premiers and mayors to speak up about Quebec's misguided plan of "identity politics."
In my opinion, Stephen Harper and Jason Kenney's wait-and-see response is timid. It does not denounce the proposed law as discriminatory and prejudiced against a small minority.
Why is our vision of a tolerant and open-minded Canada left more and more up to the media? Where is the leadership in Ottawa to present us with the vision we want for our children and grandchildren as a land of good citizens?
Canadians must not allow elected officials to speak solely for us. We must speak up in our communities and not allow fear or narrow-mindedness to threaten what our ancestors brought from many lands and struggled so hard to make a better world.
Now that religious minorities in Quebec are facing the real possibility of violation by their government of their human right to practise their religion, it is time that other provinces welcome these refugees into our provinces and ensure their full rights as Canadian citizens.
As Pierre Elliott Trudeau said, "Canada will be a strong country when Canadians of all provinces feel at home in all parts of the country, and when they feel that all Canada belongs to them."
We have to take a moment to consider the true motives behind Pauline Marois' plans. Is she truly interested in creating a secular public sphere in the tradition of the theory of certain liberal thinkers?
Rather, I would argue that Marois seems inclined to think that the current realities for a referendum regarding independence are not likely favourable for her cause. Additionally, it has been noted that various ethnic communities don't support the PQ in the same way the traditionally francophone communities have.
I'm of the opinion that Marois is simply putting forward this legislation to make the province less hospitable to those who might object to her eventual goal of Quebec independence. It is through this charter that Marois hopes to shift the demographics and ideas in her favour, not to work to create a secular public sphere.
Barring likely opposition from the Bloc Québécois, the federal government under the authority of an otherwise all-party resolution, should proceed with a Supreme Court reference on Quebec's proposed charter of parochial values legislation.
If and when the court determines its unconstitutionality, and should the province nevertheless then impose the notwithstanding clause to legally deny the guaranteed religious and multicultural rights of its citizens, it would then be up to the majority of the Quebec electorate to confirm or deny their support for the unveiled ethnic nationalism and overt discrimination that has long fuelled the province's separation movement.
As one of the founders of the UN's Responsibility to Protect doctrine, the Canadian government should take the horrid spectre of provincial intolerance out of the shadows and apply the responsibility-to-protect policy at home. The world is watching.
Fletcher's approach important
Re: Send Manitoba's power west (Sept. 9). I think that Steven Fletcher, as a geological engineer and member of Parliament, has advanced an important new approach to developing electric power generation in our North. It needs to be fully discussed and explored from engineering, environmental and economic perspectives.
He deserves thanks for having the wisdom and courage to advance a new solution to our current dilemma about power generation in Manitoba's North. Let the studies and discussions begin.
A true gentleman
Re: The buck stops with Pierce (Sept. 11). It has been my great pleasure to meet Buck Pierce several times, with the help of my daughter in the media, and all I can say is he is a real gent in the old-fashioned meaning of the word.
He is approachable and friendly, ready with a smile and helpful. There is nothing aloof about him, which is to be seen in his involvement in community events.
He says he has been truly blessed, and so have we by his presence and sportsmanship! The Bombers and the city will miss him, and I am glad to read he is making Winnipeg his permanent home.
A complete picture
Allan Levine's Sept. 11 column, UN impotent; R2P a hollow promise, gives a complete picture of the impotent position the United Nations is in now. Originally, the UN was defined as a "global association of governments facilitating co-operation in international law, security, economic development and social equity." Yet when Syria's President Bashar Assad's forces used chemical weapons on his own population, the UN, with a membership of over 140 nations, could not totally agree to condemn Syria for this atrocity. World leaders should take strong measures to prevent this dangerous direction by Syria.

Donetsk, Ukraine: France have everything to gain by beating a Sweden team which is playing only for pride in their last European Championship group match today.
The match represents the possible dawn of a new era for France – who have not reached a tournament quarter-final since the 2006 World Cup – and the end of the road for some of Sweden's veterans.
If France manages to keep first place in Group D it will avoid a potential encounter with defending champion Spain in the last eight, so long as the improving Spaniards finish ahead of Group C rivals Croatia and Italy.
"It would be great to avoid Spain in the next round," France midfielder Yohan Cabaye said. "We'll have to give everything against Sweden so that we win and stay in first place."
France are brimming with confidence after their stylish 2-0 win over Ukraine, with Cabaye scoring the second goal. A victory over Sweden would consolidate their position as one of the tournament's dangerous outsiders.
"We'll be judged at the end of the Euro, but we're happy to have found our form again," France left back Gael Clichy said. He's wary of Sweden, which poses a threat despite already being eliminated. "They have less pressure, I'd say. Players always want to do well for their country."
After two narrow defeats to Ukraine and England, the Sweden players are desperate to give their fans something to cheer about.
"We'll be playing for our honour. We want to take some points home with us," Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic said.
Although the 30-year-old Ibrahimovic has confirmed that he will continue to play for Sweden, the 34-year-old defe-nder Olof Mellberg and 35-year-old midfielder Anders Svensson are representing their country for the last time in a tournament.
They have a combined 245 caps for Sweden, while 30-year-old goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson has 95 caps. The only France player that even comes close is midfielder Florent Malouda, who has 78 caps. Winger Franck Ribery has 62, but nobody else in the French squad has more than 50 caps.
Mellberg played every minute in his previous five tournaments, and was the captain in three of them.
Coach Erik Hamren has to give fringe players a game to test their ability ahead of World Cup qualifying, but must still field a team competitive enough to take on the French.
Regardless of the line-up, he does not expect his players to ease up-even if there is nothing at stake.
"If you're a winner, if you're a really, really good player with an attitude, then you find the motivation yourself," Hamren said. "I don't think I'll have to motivate them that much."
France midfielder Yann M'Vila hopes that Ibrahimovic – Italy's Serie A top scorer with 28 goals for AC Milan – is one of the players Hamren decides to rest.
France coach Laurent Blanc has yet to decide on his best team, but increasing competition for places has proved successful so far. – Sapa-AP

I can't abide the racism in this pile of crap. Even as Japanese American kids from Hawaii were getting ready to be set into battle in Italy (deployed to the Mediterranean August 1943, went into battle at Salerno September 27, 1943) this movie was perpetuating the myth that the Japanese in Hawaii were cutting cane fields to point the Pearl Harbor raider to their targets, knocking the tails off of fighters with trucks, and in one scene attacking the B-17 that has been forced to land during the night. A truly awful bit of propaganda that leaves a terrible aftertaste.

Dr. Smith - I had posted back in March on the 101 boards with the results from my tests and Dr. Jacobs said that he didn't see why I was doing IVF. This is what happened with our first IVF:We did our first IVF retrieval on 5/12 on 5/9 my stats were e2 1602, lining 9mm, on my right [email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected]my protocol up until trigger was 225 iu twice a day of follistim and then they added antagon to it. do you think that some other protocol would have helped with getting more eggs and possibly better eggs?And is 6B really bad - I haven't been able to find any information on grading systems that go up to 6 - I know different clinics use different systems - but when there isn't any info on systems going to 6 - I'm worried. I know that there is only a very small chance this one will work out - I'm asking the questions so I will be better informed for next time.Thank you Again!
The "6" refers to the number of cells as in "6-cell" and the "B" refers to the quality with "A" being the best grade. They transfered a 6-cell stage embryo with a moderate amount of fragmentation (i.e. average quality).You were on a standard protocol, so the protocol was fine. However, when they triggered you, you only had three mature follicles. They could have waited a little longer and allowed the smaller follicles to develop a little more. You might have had more mature eggs and more embryos to choose from.
Thanks Dr. Smith! I was thinking the same thing... and I appreciate your breaking down the 6B! 8)
I truly appreciate your thoughts -- it is so important to understand what is going on especially when you don't get to talk to the doctor who is treating you! I felt pretty lost and in the dark this weekend and you've just made me feel 1000X better!!! ;D
Hi Dr. Smith - Our meeting with the RE went "ok". He said that he never expected to only get 3 eggs from me based on all of my tests. He said that on the day of retrieval there was [email protected][email protected][email protected]He said that he would like to try a micro dose / flare protocol including reprenox (not sure of spelling). He also said that donor eggs would be another option - but that he'd like to give it 150% to see if they can get more eggs for me. He also told me that my embie was very good - not excellent - but very good and that had we had 2 of them, my chance would be 50%. I'm not sure if you're the right person to ask or if it is Dr. Jacobs - but I'm not sure if I should give it another chance, change clinics (do you guys do people from out of state?). Based on my stats/tests - dr. jacobs said he was "hard pressed" to see why I needed ivf in the first place when I posted to him a few months ago. Everything is out of pocket for us and I just want to ease my mind and really know the reality of the situation. Iwish I hit the powerball.... ::)

Bottom Line
Product not yet reviewed by PCMag Editors.
The Casio XJ-M240 (not yet priced) provides all the same features as its bigger brother, the XJ-M245 (not yet priced), but lacks Internet connection options and a USB port. Regardless, this DLP projector can emit up to 2,500 lumens in a 300-inch projection through its laser-LED hybrid light source among other features.
//Compare Similar ProductsCompare
Design and Features
Identical to the one before it, this Casio projector comes in an all-white exterior surrounding its black face and embedded lens. Casio's hybrid light source rests behind that lens, which was built using no mercury, can start up within 8 seconds and shut down with no cooling required. The XJ-M240 sports one HDMI port, one component video input, an RGB output, a stereo output and more.
The XJ-M240 might not have wired or wireless connections, but it supports 3D image projection with optional software and accessories. It features the same 1,280 by 800 resolution as its beefier counterparts. The ambient light sensor within this model adjusts to surrounding lighting to reduce power consumption and eye strain. This projector can last up to 20 thousand hours before its light source must be replaced, thanks to that ambient light sensor and Casio's hybrid light source.

The new snippet shares more intense sequences as it gives preview to how Freddy Krueger haunts his teenage victims, including the 'Twilight' actor.
As it has been anticipated, new trailer for "A Nightmare on Elm Street" has been released by Warner Bros. Pictures on early Thursday, February 25. Making its way out via MySpace Horror Movies, the video shares a lot of new footage including the initial scenes which feature Kellan Lutz in an eatery and gets his palm hurt after Freddy Krueger attacks him in his imagination.
A remake of Wes Craven's 1984 film with the same title, "A Nightmare on Elm Street" will see horribly disfigured killer Freddy Krueger returning to hunt suburban teenagers, including Nancy Thompson and her boyfriend Quentin, through their dreams. Trying to stay away from death, they struggle not to fall asleep.
Playing Freddy Krueger is Jackie Earle Haley while Rooney Mara and Kyle Gallner portray Nancy and Quentin respectively. Additionally, Katie Cassidy, Thomas Dekker and Kellan Lutz are among those who play Krueger's victims. Directed by Samuel Bayer, this horror movie will start haunting audience in theaters across the U.S. on April 30.

He's retired now, our bishop emeritus, but for over 20 years, Richard Hanifen presided at midnight Mass at the cathedral. As Christmas Eve moved into Christmas Day, Hanifen would stand to greet us.
"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit," he said. And then, smiling, "I bring you greetings from your brothers and sisters in the El Paso County jail."
Before he came to celebrate with us -- our skin itchy from new wool and unclipped tag fasteners, our exhausted, velveteen-clad children asleep in the pew -- Hanifen, bishop of Colorado Springs, Colo., went to the jail to celebrate Mass with the inmates.
We knew this was his practice, but the words still startled. What news, what glad tidings have they to share with us? How am I brother or sister to the meth dealer and the murderer?
We say: Charlottesville reveals the weeping wound of racism. What do we, the American Catholic faith community, do next? Read the editorial.

James Irvine, 41, was arrested and charged with neglect after leaving the family pit bull to babysit his 10-month-old baby at home, while he went to a local bar to have drinks. The child's mother (whose name hasn't been released) told authorities that she was working Friday evening and left the child with her boyfriend, Irvine.
With Christmas right around the corner, parents are busy shopping for the latest and greatest toy their little ones have asked Santa Claus for this year, and retailers are ready to oblige. One retailer in particular has come under fire for their sale and distribution of a doll for little girls that breastfeeds.
Sources close to the 32-year-old singer have told US Weekly that Jessica Simpson is in fact pregnant with baby No. 2, only 7 months after giving birth to daughter, Maxwell in May.
In Buffalo, N.Y., a father, Ali-Mohamed Mohamud was convicted Thursday of beating his 10 year old stepson to death with a rolling pin for not doing his homework. Claiming that he didn't intent to kill the boy, Mohamud claimed that he was just trying to get the boy to do his homework.
In New Jersey, 40 year old Lori Stilley has been arrested and charged with faking bladder cancer to gain assistance. It began in 2011, after breaking the sad news to her family and friends, Stilley was financially backed by bake sales, car washes, and raffles -- where more than $10,000 for her healthcare. According to authorities, it was all a scam.
When my mother went shopping for a swimsuit for me, she was very strict with how it fit, looked and covered -- and it was NEVER a bikini. I actually purchased my first bikini at 18 years old. My mother was always very particular about how I looked as a young girl, and made sure that I dressed age appropriate. Now, a bikini line for young girls designed by Elizabeth Hurley is getting much flak and is being called 'inappropriate' and 'disturbing.'
What would you do if your 5-year-old child told you that another child on the school bus stabbed her in the stomach with a pencil? Well, a 26-year-old Arkansas woman and mother of three, Tameka McClure, reacted in a way that got her arrested.
Open mouth, insert foot. That seemingly seems to be the regimen of actor Mark Wahlberg these days. His recent statements in an interview with Men's Journal have stirred up quite the controversy regarding himself and the deceased passengers of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on United Flight 93.
In Ohio, reports say that an eight year old boy was taken from his mother because he was deemed severely obese. The boy weighed in at an astonishing 200 lbs! This particular case has sparked debate on whether or not a child that is severely obese should be taken from their parents custody.
You've seen Target's hilarious thirty second commercials on television and probably wondered to yourself -- "Who is the crazy Target lady?" -- Or maybe not, but we did. So we did some research and found out that there is so much more to the crazy Target lady than meets the eye!

For more on Leprechaun Days, click here.
The Rosemount Area Seniors are selling official Rosemount Leprechaun Days buttons now through the end of the July 18-27 festival.
People who buy a $1 button may enter their name for a chance to win several prizes.
Buttons are being sold at Cub Foods, Terry's Hardware, Kwik Trip, First State Bank of Rosemount, Walgreen's, Holiday Station Store on Chippendale Avenue, Super America, Merchants Bank and BP Service Station.
The buttons were designed by Rosemount Middle School student Taylor Brunes in conjunction with the Rosemount Leprechaun Days Committee.
Taylor will be entering eighth grade this fall. She said she has been involved in arts and crafts as long as she can remember.
"It's a way to relax and stay busy," she said.
She said she was very excited and surprised to find out she had won the contest, which made her eligible to select from among four prizes with free admission to area attractions.
Taylor said she hopes people think of excitement and fun times when they see the button design. For her, that means the Rosemount Leprechaun Days carnival rides at the Midsummer Faire and the Grand Parade, which she said are her favorite events.
The committee connected with Rosemount Middle School to have students work on the button design project.
Those who purchase a button are eligible for prizes, including gift certificates and other donated items from several area merchants and businesses.
The fundraising project is one of the largest for the seniors. Funds raised go toward programming for activities and future expenses.

I love Mighty Max, I had the skull that revealed the mad scientist laboratory I would like to Mighty Max be revived.
Any other Mighty Max fans out there?
I've recently gotten back into the toyline and am having a blast. While I have most of my original toys, I did reclaim a few childhood sets that I sold along the way and have since bought some new ones I never originally owned. I would love to see this line make a comeback (I think Mattel has hinted at it in an Infinite Hollywood interview) as it seems like it could still be a hit.
I've started a new segment on my site called Micro Monday where I review a Mighty Max set every Monday (I might move into some Star Wars and Aliens Micro Machines sets, too). So far I've looked at: Mighty Max Conquers the Palace of Poison and Mighty Max Challenges Lava Beast.
Thjs is such a fun line, but a tough one to collect: lots of rare sets and lots of tiny pieces. Plus, people always want to sell them in lots.
I love Mighty Max, I had the skull that revealed the mad scientist laboratory I would like to Mighty Max be revived.
Etheria will be mine!
Friggin' loved these! In fact, I really miss the whole "tiny worlds" theme from those days. Lots of sets that opened up into little playsets for even littler figures. I've only got a couple sets, but I'd love to cover them at some point.

Funny how we always seem to have the same taste, Barbecue and Alexx. Hah. I too am a huge fan of the MM toyline and have recently started to seek them out actively. If you're interested I can post some pics of what I got so far.
Always loved the little comics on the back of the packaging as well, and the cartoon was fun.
never had any of the toys, but I do have the whole cartoon series on dvdr

Didn't mind the cartoon back in the day. Not a bad voice cast either.
Rob Kerr- 1979-2006. I will always love you.
DISCLAIMER: The above post is not meant to offend, if you feel insulted by it then use the pm button to discuss it with me.
Or well, more accurately, the trick is finding sets which have the right figures to them. It's a bit tricky with the Max figures because depending on the resource you look at, you can see pictures of different Maxes with the same playset. This is because the Mighty Max figures for the Doom Zones and Horror Heads (and some of the other sets) were random, with different possible poses and colors. Some later sets have unique Maxes, however, and in that case it's really important to know what you're looking for.
Anyway, I dunno if anyone was interested at all, but here's what I've gotten so far:
Magus is one of the coolest of all the Mighty Max sets since not only is he a fully unfoldable base with lots of action features and accessories, he's also a figure and articulated in his own right, which makes him more fun (IMO) than for example Skull Mountain.
Last year I had the fortune of running into a lady who had three carded Doom Zones from the third series for sale for a pittance, which netted me the Hand, Nautilus and Rattus. Being the opening sort I busted them open to fiddle with, but I will keep those lovely Bluebird cards since I love the design.
The loose figures are from the "Heroes and Villains" figure sets which were released without a playset. The original few sets only included figures taken from existing playsets, but later ones included all-new sculpted figures based on the characters' appearance in the cartoon like Skullmaster, Doom and Lava Lord. Pretty neat!
The other ones I basically all got at various flea markets and similar. I'm especially happy to have found a mint complete Fly from series 3, it's one of the coolest Doom Zones I think.
Which also means I end up with some incomplete ones now and then. If any of you guys need some extras or have any to trade, poke me.
Anyway, hope that can be of interest to some of you other Max fans.
Dang, Sand, you've got some Doom Zones that I really want!
Particular the Hand, the Rat, and Magus
I never got into the toys, but I enjoyed the cartoon. I hope it gets a DVD release at some point.
In the name of the Lloyd!
Wow, I pretty much had all the ones that Sandman posted when I was a kid. I used to love them. Just seeing those pics has brought back a lot of memories.
I had some of those when i was 12 and i watched the animated show, it was awesome.

A new Micro Monday review is up! This time, it's Mighty Max Blows Up Dino Lab!
I always wanted this second series set and finally bought it for myself a week or so ago. I'm loving it! It's great to be a big kid! I still love toys but have the income and means to buy them for myself!
Very nice reviews, I always liked Mighty Max toys but didn't have them as a child. I remember I drawn the sets (and the Mountain!) on paper based on the advertisment pictures, colored them, then drawn the figures, cut them and played that way! I might consider collecting them now (in plastic, this time).

Great memories here.
All my Maxes kept getting sucked up the hoover...
I found a bunch of these in my basement over xmas break. Was surprised to find that almost all of them were complete. I figured those little pieces would have been lost over the years. Thinking of selling them.

Never cared for the toys but I did like the cartoon.
I have such vague memories of the cartoon, so maybe I'll have to track it down considering all of the rave reviews some of you are giving it!
It's Monday, so today's Micro Monday is Mighty Max Tangles with Lockjaw: http://www.thepicreview.com/2014/02/micro-monday-mighty-max-tangles-with.html
I love how this set pays homage to 80's slasher films! It's really quite fun and well designed. Much better than the series one Horror Heads!
EDIT: Just added a review of one of the sets of Shrunken Heads: Rat Trap and Vampyre: http://www.thepicreview.com/2014/03/micro-monday-rat-trap-and-vampyre.html

Another Monday, another Micro Monday. Today is one of my favorite sets ever (possibly my favorite): Mighty Max Escapes from Skull Dungeon! http://www.thepicreview.com/2014/03/micro-monday-mighty-max-escapes-from.html
This thread had me take my Might Max playsets out of the garage. I have all the normal sized ones in a big plastic container, and wow...opening them up again after all these years literally felt like a nostalgia brick to the face. I really think these were my favorite toys ever when I was little, and I honestly spent SO MUCH time with each one of them. I just loved the fact that each one provided these tiny but really detailed playsets that allowed for TONS of play value.
First one I ever got was the Doom Dragon (I think was the name?), and I spent probably a good 20 minutes this evening just looking it over again and remembering how much fun it provided.
Honest, I found myself being quite surprised by how detailed many of them were, not lessened at all my nostalgia over the years. The Snake set, the Skull Lab, The Sabretooth Cat, the Graveyard, the Gorilla...I mean, jeeze, I can only think of a few I wasn't impressed with, but then they didn't do much for me back in the day either.
I dug out the old Skull Mountain playset, and I can't think of a stronger sense of nostalgia I've ever felt than when I opened that sucker up tonight. I instantly remembered the Christmas morning when I received it. As I looked at the pieces and creatures, I could remember perfectly what was on tv, the smells of breakfast that morning, everything about that moment. No other toy has ever done that for me.
I do have to say that I wish I could get the cartoon series. I loved that show, and think it was definitely one of the better ones from the 90's. So dark sometimes, but that's why I loved it. I could really take it seriously.
Oh man..thanks for this thread guys. That was a heck of an experience again.

might be a little difficult for you to talk after playing 40 minutes of intense basketball. i seriously hate these fluff interviews after games.
Stay classy, Miami.
And that's a great tweet from Mike Wells. Stick the knife in there, Mike.

It's crazy but I don't really hate Lebron as much as I used to, never thought in a million years anyone would even come close but Wade over their time together has surpassed him by a mile on terms of players I just can't stand and enjoy seeing lose especially when it's at the hands of the Pacers.
It is a strange world where LeBron is the most likeable player on his team.
Disclaimer: Not saying LeBron is likeable.
It shows that +/- isn't a reliable stat when looking at individual games. That's something that most stat heads acknowledge.
The real value in +/- metrics is looking at things in the aggregate once you've played a decent number of games.
For example, if you look at our last 10 games, PG is a +52

Instant Expert: Beck
You've seen them at parties, lurking in the corner, waiting to engage in battle disguised as conversation. They're indie rock know-it-alls, and no matter what band or musician you mention, they've got an opinion — strong and almost certainly negative — ready to ram down your throat. With Instant Expert, we offer preparation for these very situations. Each Thursday, in advance of your weekend carousing, we pick an artist and provide a quickie career overview, highlighting both prevailing critical opinions and the inevitable contrarian counterarguments. Even if you're completely unfamiliar with the music, you'll be able to bluff your way through and defend your indie cred. This week: Beck.
The Gist
Beck Hansen had already released two albums of hipster folk, slacker hip-hop and performance art-style indie rock when he scored an unexpected Top 10 hit with 'Loser' in 1994. After 1996's genre-busting 'Odelay,' he pretty much was given the freedom to make any kind of record he wanted. So he has — from Brazilian pop ('Mutations') to funky R&B ('Midnite Vultures') to sensitive singer-songwriter ('Sea Change') to straight-up alternative rock ('Modern Guilt'). You never know what you're getting with a Beck album, and that's a good thing. His latest release is a book of sheet music for new songs that encourages fans to make their own music.
Critical Consensus
Following the surprise success of 1994's 'Mellow Gold,' Beck returned two years later with 'Odelay,' featuring his best set of songs packaged in his wildest beats, most supplied by the Dust Brothers, who created the Beastie Boys' 1989 masterpiece 'Paul's Boutique.' It's a mind-blowing trip and one of the '90s best records.
Contrarian Counterargument
There were no expectations when Beck released his major-label debut (and third album overall) in 1994. Even though 'Loser' was a hit, the rest of the album is wild, weird and unchained — just the way we like him.
Beck was recovering from a painful breakup when he made his 2002 singer-songwriter album 'Sea Change.' It's all reflective ballads and gently strummed acoustic guitars. It's Beck at his most personal, revealing and grown-up.
Whatever You Do, Don't Say This
He's got no flow.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/5/2014 (1192 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Many members and allies of Winnipeg's transgender community protested Germaine Greer's sold-out appearance at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights Wednesday.
The Australian feminist, who wrote the landmark 1970 book The Female Eunuch and is regarded as one of the movement's major voices, has been criticized for her views on transgender women — that they are not, in fact, women at all.
In a 2009 Guardian piece about Caster Semenya, the South African runner forced to undergo gender testing after her win at the 2009 world championships, Greer wrote: "Nowadays we are all likely to meet people who think they are women, have women's names and feminine clothes and lots of eyeshadow, who seem to us to be some kind of ghastly parody, though it isn't polite to say so... Other delusions may be challenged, but not a man's delusion that he is female."
That's just one example Athena Thiessen, a Winnipeg transgender woman, pointed to in her May 3 op-ed for the Free Press protesting Greer's appearance at the CMHR. "When you're trans, you're supposed to be grateful for crumbs," she wrote. "You're expected to take it quietly when you're harassed, be understanding when your family stops returning calls, keep your chin up when you find yourself unemployed, and not speak up when lauded thinkers say cruel and vicious things about you and your community. Or when others who purport to be on your side, like the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, offer them a podium and thousands of dollars to speak."
Greer delivered a speech entitled Women and the Struggle for Human Rights as part of Fragile Freedoms: the Global Struggle for Human Rights, a lecture series organized by the University of Manitoba's Centre for Professional and Applied Ethics and broadcast on CBC Radio's Ideas program. The CMHR has been the host venue for the series, which has also featured such noted thinkers as Steven Pinker and C.A. Grayling.
"The museum's role is to inspire human-rights conversations. This is why we agreed to become the venue for the Fragile Freedoms lecture series," said Maureen Fitzhenry, the museum's media-relations manager.
"Our participation as a venue should not be viewed as tacit endorsement of any speaker's opinion. Rather, our goal is to be a place where many different viewpoints can be exchanged in an atmosphere of respectful dialogue. That is our hope for (Wednesday's) lecture."
In a May 7 letter to the editor responding to Thiessen's article, Arthur Schafer, the director of the University of Manitoba's Centre for Professional and Applied Ethics, suggested audience members use the question-and-answer portion of the evening to "challenge arguments they see as mistaken."
Thiessen said she is disappointed by those responses.
"They said you can bring it up at the Q&A, which is disingenuous because, by then, (the event) was sold out. And the excuse that the museum is 'just a venue' is not a legitimate excuse," she said. "This is a museum for human rights."
Organizers planned the event to include different perspectives of the debate, including university academics with expertise in LGBT and gender issues.
Thiessen said it's vital transgender people be included in such consultations. "So often, trans people are not included in the conversation."
She had hopes for Wednesday's protest. "My ultimate wish is that Germaine Greer would apologize and say, 'You're right — trans women are women,' " Thiessen said. "My realistic wish is that the museum and centre would say, 'You're right — this was a major oversight on our part and we apologize.' "
Thiessen said she's encouraged by the support she's received from Winnipeggers from all walks of life. "As a trans woman, that's not something I'm used to," she said.
"It speaks to the point that you don't need to be trans to realize this isn't OK."
Fitzhenry said the CMHR welcomes protesters.
"We welcome multiple perspectives and peaceful demonstrations that can promote human-rights education," she said.
