Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/3/2014 (1256 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
John Hodgman has lived several lives.
"The overall contour of my career makes sense to me, but when I say it out loud, it's confusing," he admits. Before the author/comedian began his career as "a famous minor TV character" -- namely as The Daily Show's "resident expert" -- Hodgman, 42, was a literary agent, a freelance magazine writer, an advice columnist for McSweeney's, a comic book reviewer for the New York Times Book Review and humour editor for the New York Times Magazine.
Then, in 2005, he published a satirical book of fake trivia called The Areas of My Expertise that caught the attention of The Daily Show. He's since played "the person wearing glasses" in a host of films and TV shows, including Community, Battlestar Galactica and, most recently, Parks and Recreation. He was also a full cast-member alongside Jason Schwartzman, Zack Galifianakis and Ted Danson on HBO's cult hit Bored to Death. (You may also know the bespectacled funnyman as the nerdy "PC" from those Apple ads.)
Now, Hodgman's career has taken him to the stage as a standup comedian. That wasn't necessarily the plan; his 2012 apocalyptic show Ragnarok -- which was performed at midnight on Dec. 21, 2012 and taped for a Netflix comedy special -- was supposed to be his last, but the world kept turning and Hodgman had to figure out what came next.
Hodgman will be in town for Art Matters, an artist talk hosted by the Winnipeg Arts Council at the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre Warehouse Theatre at 8 p.m. tonight. Tickets are $25. He'll be discussing his career(s), but the Free Press's Jen Zoratti called him up with a few questions of her own.
FP: So this is your first time to Winnipeg.
JH: Not only is it my first time to Winnipeg, but my first time to Manitoba. I've wanted to go to Winnipeg for a long time. There's a music scene there and an arts scene that I think, unfortunately, have been described to me by people who have left because it's too cold. I'm friends with the artist Marcel Dzama, and I'm a fan of the band the Weakerthans. I'm also a fan of the provinces of Canada. I've been to almost every province -- the only one I'll be missing is Alberta. Then I can retire. If you visit every province and one of the territories, you get health care. That's how it works, right? I have a lot of friends on Twitter who are from Winnipeg and I've been very curious. To be quite blunt, when the Winnipeg Arts Council called me and asked me to come up and say hello, I was thrilled to do it.
FP: Let's go back a couple years to 2012. Ragnarok dovetailed with the publication of the also-apocalyptic book, That Is All, the third and final instalment in your Complete World Knowledge trilogy. You were really banking on the world ending -- and then it didn't. Did you have a plan?
JH: Well, it was very rude of the world not to end. I mostly didn't know what I was going to do next. It was actually sort of comforting to think the world would end. I still had The Daily Show, but I had to figure out what I was doing -- not just in terms of my career, but I had to think about what my core creative life would be about. And my creative life was about standing onstage and talking to people without a script. You could call it my imitation of standup.
FP: Why do you call it your imitation of standup?
JH: Well, I used to call it that because what I was doing -- going on book tours and performing words I had written down -- wasn't standup. Frankly, I have so much respect for standup that I didn't want to call that standup comedy. But Eugene Mirmin, a comedy genius who majored in standup comedy at Hampshire College, said very plainly to me, 'When you get onstage, do you make people laugh? That's standup comedy.' When I did Ragnarok, that seemed like an appropriate time to review what I was doing and what I was doing was standup comedy. In the arts, you're always imitating until what you're doing becomes indistinguishable from the actual thing. I'm much more comfortable being a fraud. What I'm doing is standup comedy. So there.
FP: I've read that your new show, I Stole Your Dad, is more personal. What's it been like to be yourself onstage and find comedy in your own life?
JH: It's been really energizing and exciting for me -- and, I hope, for the audience. When the world failed to end and I had to figure out what was next, it was a matter of personal interest and creative desperation. I feel that it was a fun and liberating thing to do. If I were still out there writing hobo jokes, there might be a small group of people that was still amused -- but I wouldn't be progressing as an artist, for lack of a better term. I can only go where my brain takes me, and right now it's leading me to speak as plainly as possible.
FP: Are you still touring I Stole Your Dad or are you currently working on something new?
JH: I'm doing both. There are a few places where I've not had a chance to perform. That show was developed in secret in a basement in Brooklyn, and I'm interested in returning to that basement.

DOUALA, Cameroon - Four National guardsmen from two states and the District of Columbia are participating in Operation Africa Endeavor, a joint training mission sponsored by U.S. Africa Command which focuses on communications interoperability and information sharing among African Union, U.S. and partner nations.
The mission, which includes participants from 36 nations and the active duty U.S. Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force, kicked off June 18 in Douala, Cameroon.
Two Air National Guard officers are serving as observer/controllers during the exercise portion of the two-week mission. One of their first tasks was to help develop the training scenario which is based on African Union, U.S., and U.N. response to a major earthquake in a fictitious country.
Lt. Col. Randy Coltrin of the 217th Air Operations Group in Battle Creek, Mich. and Lt. Col. Jeff Marks of the 183rd Fighter Wing in Springfield, Ill. have been working with teammates from Canada, Uganda, Nigeria and Tanzania.
"Watching the African nations work together has been a great experience. They treat each other so well," said Marks. "Through this training, spending two weeks together, we've really built camaraderie with each other."
Coltrin added that coordinating so many delegations from across the world has been a challenge, but hard work had been making the operation successful. Two planning conferences took place before the event started.
"The planning that went into this operation has been tremendous--and it paid off. We came in and hit the ground running. We were unable to go to the planning conference, but because of the hard work that went into the planning, everyone seems to understand why they're here. The scenario planning has been thorough. There's so much background," said Coltrin.
"I'm very impressed by the level of participation I see from the African Nations. I've really enjoyed working with so many people; so many different countries," Coltrin added.
This year's Africa Endeavor included a public affairs workshop for the first time. Seventeen public affairs officers from 14 nations and the African Union participated in three days of training, then operated as public affairs officers during the exercise scenario.
The District of Columbia National Guard sent two participants to the U.S. public affairs team, army Staff Sgt. Michelle Gonzalez and 1st Lt. Miranda Summers Lowe. Alongside Dutch and Canadian public affairs specialists, they provided public affairs coverage of the training and attended some of the workshops.
"The participants in the workshop have a wealth of experience to share. Some of them are the lead or the only public affairs officer for their country and have significant deployment experience across the African continent. We have a lot to learn from each other," Lowe stated.
Staff Sgt. Michelle Gonzalez of the 715th Public Affairs Detachment provided coverage of the operation, where her work is represented on U.S. Africa Command's social media outlets as well as the Canadian Armed Forces combat camera webpage.
"It's been really interesting to see how similar—and how different—our training has been, not only among the African Nations, but also between ourselves and the Dutch and Canadian instructors," Gonzalez said.
Operation Africa Endeavor is in its sixth iteration, making it the only exercise of its kind to be held on an annual basis.

When it comes to home energy management displays — devices and dashboards that will help you manage your energy consumption — what's better: have utilities install these things alongside smart meter rollouts, or leave it up to customers to choose if they want one or not? That debate is raging in the UK right now, and a British power industry trade group that includes British Gas, EDF, and npower, called the Energy Retail Association (ERA), is currently lobbying the UK government to avoid having to install a £15 (about $25) energy display in homes as part of the mandate to install smart meters in every home by 2020.
It's easy to brush aside the concerns of the utilities as not wanting to foot the bill for the extra gear for purely economic reasons. In addition, home energy displays will clearly play a crucial and valuable role in the smart grid. But I think the debate raises important questions about how consumers will actually want to access their energy data and if there is a one-size-fits-all solution. As the ERA told the Times, the companies want to "offer customers precisely the kind of display they would find most useful — whether this is with a display unit, via a web site, or even through a mobile phone application."
According to GigaOM Pro research from Clint Wheelock, it's a mixed bag whether consumers are interested in an energy display at all, with about 50 percent saying they are very interested and 50 percent saying they are somewhat interested to not interested. Unfortunately, the market is just too new, and this issue will only truly be understood once smart meters are installed and consumers get used to interacting with the technology.
Of course, the companies that are selling energy displays support mandating the devices. Joel Hagan, the CEO of UK startup Onzo, said in an email that there "should certainly be an obligation on suppliers to provide information to consumers on their energy use (and) if you had to pick one channel to mandate, then it would be the energy display because of its effect (5 percent to 20 percent savings) and the fact that it can be deployed to everyone."
So for the case of the ERA and the mandated energy display, I think the price of the device is low enough (not sure if the £15 includes an installation fee) that it would be beneficial for both the consumer and the utility. Each smart meter itself will cost several hundred dollars to install, so adding on a cheap component that can improve the use of the system, and help the utility and the consumer save money, would be very valuable. If the device being mandated was, say, £150, well, then that would be another story entirely.
Such a mandated device is also probably very simple (at that price point) so it leaves the possibility for consumers to upgrade to fancier devices and additional services, which could provide more revenue for the utility. While I ultimately believe choice is usually the best option for the consumer marketplace, these smart meters are already being mandated, so in this case automatically including a low-cost component that can make the technology much more effective is a good idea. What do you think?

House, Senate negotiators detail compromise water bill worth billions
WASHINGTON — House and Senate negotiators on Thursday introduced a compromise bill that authorizes billions of dollars for water projects during the next decade, from flood protections in California to deepening Georgia's rapidly growing Port of Savannah.
Lawmakers released details of the Water Resources Reform and Development act a week since announcing a tentative deal on legislation that blends House and Senate versions of the bill. The legislation will authorize 34 projects in virtually every region of the country. Lawmakers say it provides important investment in the nation's water infrastructure.
"This legislation is about jobs and our country's economic prosperity, and I look forward to bringing it back to the House for a final vote," said Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Hollidaysburg, the chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, who filed the bill.
The proposed investments include projects related to expansion and flood protection.
The bill sanctions more than $748 million in federal funds for dredging and widening of the Sabine-Neches Waterway, an area billed as "America's Energy Gateway" because the roughly 80-mile waterway services oil and natural gas refineries in Texas and Louisiana. The legislation authorizes as much as $800 million for a flood diversion project that would protect the Red River Valley region of North Dakota and parts of Minnesota, which have suffered major floods in four of the past five years.
The Senate passed its version of the bill roughly a year ago, with the House following suit in October. Since then, lawmakers have been working to thrash out differences between the two bills. The Senate's version would authorize about $12.5 billion during the next decade, while the House's version would cost about $8.2 billion. The compromise is expected to land somewhere in between the two, but a Congressional Budget Office estimate was not yet available.
Lawmakers have expressed a pent-up demand for a water projects bill. Congress last authorized a bill in 2007, and many lawmakers have said they feared the country's water infrastructure was suffering.
Congress would have to pass separate legislation to pay for all of the projects included in the bill.
The House is expected to vote on the bill as early as Tuesday, then the Senate. Both versions of the bill passed easily, previously. With the estimated cost of the bill expected to rise, though, there is some concern that more conservative Republicans might vote against it. Outside groups, including Heritage Action, have said the bill does not do enough to rein in spending.

A Man's Place Is In The Kitchen
Earlier this month, the popular food website AllRecipes.com launched a guys-only version called ManTestedRecipes.com. According to a press release, the site caters to "the unique food interests and preferences of male cooks" and hopes to be "a virtual man-cave where men can talk about food." After checking out some of the recipes, however, we were a little surprised. A "Guilt-less" Sugar-Free & Fat-Free Frappuccino? To make up for that decidedly non-masculine option, there's plenty of steak and potatoes. (The names these boys give their dishes are hilarious — "Eat-able Skin Baked Potatoes" and "Easy Yet Complex Steak Marinade" are two of my personal favorites.) Can a testosterone-packed cooking site get men to spend more time in the kitchen? Hopefully — though you may or may not want to eat what they serve up. [Man Tested Recipes]

The Turkish team that recently reached an agreement to sign All-Star guard Deron Williams if the NBA lockout drags on has placed its pursuit of Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant on hold, according to an overseas report.
Turkey's NTV Spor reported Monday that Besiktas' basketball funds have been tied up by the match-fixing scandal that has ripped through the Turkish soccer world, forcing Besiktas to search for outside funding to help with the further pursuit of NBA players.
According to NTV Spor, Besiktas was initially prepared to offer Bryant a monthly salary of $500,000. But Bryant, according to the report, is seeking a monthly salary of $1 million to join Williams. Sources told ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard earlier this month that Williams' overall deal with Besiktas is worth $5 million.


text: Amyris, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMRS), a leading renewable chemicals and fuels company, today announced that it has completed a $58.7 million private placement of its common stock and entered into a definitive agreement to privately place $25 million in aggregate principal amount of 3% senior unsecured notes due 2017. The placement of notes is subject to customary closing conditions and expected to be completed by February 28, 2012. The private placement of its common stock included existing Amyris investors Temasek Holdings, Total Gas & Power USA, SAS, and Naxyris SA (an affiliate of NAXOS Capital Partners), as well as new investors Biolding Investment SA (a company owned by HH Sheikh Abdullah bin Khalifa Al-Thani of Qatar), an entity affiliated with director John Doerr (of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, a current stockholder), and an entity affiliated with director Fernando Reinach. The purchase and sale price for the shares was $5.78 per share, based on the consolidated closing bid price for Amyris common stock on NASDAQ of $5.77 on February 22, 2012, the day that the Company and the investors entered into the purchase agreement for the transaction, plus $0.01. The common stock transaction included a commitment on the part of Biolding to invest an additional $15 million in common stock upon satisfaction by Amyris of criteria associated with the commissioning of Amyris's Paraíso Bioenergia SA production plant in Brazil by March 31, 2013. The addition of this conditional $15 million in funding would bring the total amount raised in connection with these equity and note transactions to $98.7 million. Among the various terms that will be detailed in the Company's regulatory filing for this transaction, Amyris has granted each of Biolding, Naxyris and Temasek Holdings the right to designate a director to serve on Amyris's board. The notes, which are to be acquired by various funds associated with an institutional investor for a purchase price of $25 million, have a conversion price of $7.0682 per share, which represents an 18% premium over the consolidated closing bid price of Amyris common stock on NASDAQ on February 24, 2012, the day the parties entered into the purchase agreement for the unsecured notes.

Lucas di Grassi regrets start-line error in race two at Silverstone.

Lucas di Grassi has admitted that it still trying to work out the cause of the stall at the start of Sunday's GP2 Series sprint race at Silverstone that cost him the chance to close the gap on those leading the championship.
After a frustrating start to the 2009 campaign with reigning drivers' champion Racing Engineering, di Grassi appeared to have got his season back on track by following up his win in Turkey with second place in Silverstone's Saturday feature. However, the momentum stuttered along with his red-and-yellow Dallara as the Brazilian failed to get away from the seventh spot on the grid in the second race of the weekend, ending any hope of adding to his growing points tally.
"The start was a disaster," di Grassi sighed, reflecting on the two attempts at a getaway after Giacomo Ricci caused the first to be aborted, "I stalled, but I am not yet sure if it was my mistake, or if there was a problem with the clutch. We will look into it."
Once away, albeit nearly a lap down on the frontrunners he should have been battling with, the Brazilian was able to run faster than anyone else, even if the damage had already been done.
"The car was really great and I set the fastest lap, but it was too late and I was too far back," he lamented, acknowledging that he was too far down the order to benefit from the bonus point, "The car went really well this weekend and we have a very fast car, [which] will improve a bit more for N?rburgring. I am confident - we scored eight points this weekend, which is not perfect, but it's okay."
The mood was a lot brighter after Saturday's feature, which ran after the F1 qualifying session under bright if blustery conditions.
When the lights went off, di Grassi made a very good start from fifth on the grid, passing both Alvaro Parente and Jerome d'Ambrosio to run in third, just behind leaders Romain Grosjean and Alberto Valerio. A lap after the lead changed hands, the Brazilian made his move, pouncing when Grosjean went wide at Stowe and running second until his pit-stop on lap 16.
With the decision taken to change all four tyres on the Fat Burner-sponsored car - as opposed to the mandatory two - di Grassi lost a position to Nico H?lkenberg, but quickly closed the gap to the German and put him under permanent pressure until pulling off a passing move on lap 34. Valerio, however, was almost five seconds ahead at that point, but the veteran kept pushing on until, with only two laps to go, he was within touching distance of his countryman.
"I was not 100 per cent happy with the strategy because I think we lost too much time to Valerio and to Nico in the pit-stop," he said after eventually crossing the line 1.2secs shy of a second victory of the season, "I decided to change four [tyres], but in the time [between when] I came in and the time the pit-stop took to be finished, I lost a position to Nico and I was far away from him., so I had to push really hard after the pit-stop to get the time back. I got close to Nico and had a good, clean fight with him, and then, on the last lap, I could get close to Valerio, but it was too late.
"Our tyre management was very good," countered sporting director Thomas Couyotopoulo, "Together with both of the drivers, we had made a decision on their pit-stop strategies before the race, and Lucas knew that he was likely to lose positions during the pit-stop as we agreed on changing four tyres. However, we also knew that this would allow him to push harder during the last laps of the race...."

I wasn't sold on it at first, but it was his favorite, and after we personalized it and made it look exactly how we wanted it to, I started to love it. Once they arrived in the mail, I was so impressed with the quality and how cute they turned out! I'm definitely glad we chose this design, and that we were able to do some things to make it our own. We will absolutely be returning to personalize and purchase formal invitations!"
"Our Save the Date turned out better than I imagined! Our Designer did a fantastic job on them and they responded to all my requests!"

"I changed a little bit of the wording on the front of the card to make it fit better with the length of our names. Loved that I was able to customize it down to every detail. I also requested to see two different color schemes - this was so helpful in making the decision on exactly how I wanted it to look. They got to me in good shape and very quickly after placing the order. High quality look & feel of the product!"

China's leaders ignore universally recognised codes of conduct
Related topics
I refer to the letter headlined 'Tycoons seek to aid Sino-US understanding' (South China Morning Post, August 27), which states that the Better Hong Kong Foundation will change focus and promote better understanding of China overseas.
Why should the foundation act as a mouthpiece for the Chinese Government?
If this is true, then the foundation should change its name. The money put into this foundation should be used only to advance the good of Hong Kong and not be spent to correct problems with mainland China's image abroad, problems caused by faulty ideology and the policies of the Beijing authorities.
When foreigners criticise China, it is not because of some 'image' but because the ruling party refuses to act according to universally recognised codes of conduct, using flimsy excuses like 'Eastern values' or 'stability'.
When the PLA aims missiles at the Chinese people of Taiwan and threatens them with destruction if they do not surrender, what good is high-sounding rhetoric?
Most of the money put into this foundation was earned in Hong Kong, in other words, produced by the sweat and suffering of Hong Kong people. This money should be spent on producing jobs and income for our own people, rather than sweetening the image of remote and autocratic rulers. Let them hire their own public-relations experts.
Mainland rulers are spending billions on expensive weapons to intimidate Taiwan, to oppress the Tibetan people and to engage in wasteful arms development and space-age gimmickry. They can easily invest a few million to make them look good overseas, but who will believe them?
Actions speak louder than words. If Hong Kong's tycoons want China to be respected and admired, let them tell the Beijing bosses to be more democratic, more enlightened and more cosmopolitan. Who believes self-praising advertising anyhow?
Unfortunately, our tycoons have become so used to spending our hard-earned money for their own pet causes that they now want to do more 'shoe-shining' in Beijing.
Instead of contributing to Hong Kong's betterment, these businessmen have exported our jobs and factories to other countries, have opposed schemes to reduce pollution and have donated millions to institutions on the mainland rather than to better our own hospitals, schools and other much-needed amenities.
The people of Hong Kong will have more respect for the 'fat cats' who donate to the Better Hong Kong Foundation if they abandon this wasteful scheme and return to the purpose indicated by the group's name.
Let's stick to what we know and need the most, an improved Hong Kong business, cultural and ethical environment.

Switchings found here for semiconductor rate-equation models incorporating a vector electric field, birefringence, and the α factor are similar to previously reported experimental results.

"Perfect Guard" (
Normally, when a "Perfect Guard" unit is placed on (GC) from anywhere, by discarding a card of the same clan from hand as cost, the player may choose one of their units of the same clan that is being attacked, and that chosen unit cannot be hit by the attack until end of the battle, no matter how much power the attack has, and no damage check must be performed as a result.
Starting from Booster Set 16: Legion of Dragons & Blades, you no longer are required to discard a card nor choose a unit of the same clan due to Clan Fight regulations making those restrictions redundant in card texts.
G Booster Set 1: Generation Stride introduces a new variant of Perfect Guards, called "Perfect Guard G". They include a bonus or other abilities in addition to guard the unit that is being attacked, such as Holy Knight Guardian and Hoop Master for example. Blue Storm Shield, Homerus is another new variant of "Perfect Guard G", which is exclusive for a Sub-Clan.

- Etranger is the only clan so far without a Perfect Guard.
- Every Perfect Guard released before G Booster Set 1: Generation Stride has an RR Rarity.
- In Booster Set 10: Triumphant Return of the King of Knights, Gold Paladin, Narukami and Royal Paladin became the first clans to have two Perfect Guard units.
- Booster Set 10 also introduced Perfect Guards for sub-clans, e.g. Dark Revenger, Mac Lir, Eradicator Wyvern Guard, Guld, Flashing Jewel Knight, Iseult, etc.
- This excludes Battle Sister, Chocolat, but she was made before Battle Sisters were an official Sub-Clan.

Crossing The Isle
Once, your conservative uncle told you that nothing good could come from drinking. Those words have probably played back in your head dozens of times after coming down with the post-libation flu. But now that you're a full-fledged adult, you recognize that not only can you get your buzz on, but get your buzz on for a good cause in an upscale environment. And if you have a handsome host serving you Mai Tais, well, that's just the rum on top of your tropical cake.
The masters behind Sweet Dreams Havana Nights have concocted an evening packed with cocktails and sweet eats, and it all benefits Suns Nite Hoops, which provides educational advancement and life skills to at risk youth. Suck on that, Uncle Ray.

If you're a big criminal copyright type of person then you run the risk of equally big criminal proceedings against you and all your ill-gotten gains being taken away by Proceeds of Crime provisions in the English legal system. You could get sued too.
What if you're a careless blogger who just happened to cite rather more text than you should have? Right now the chances are, if you're unlucky and someone picks a fight with you, that you'll end up in a Magistrates' Court. The maximum fine you'll wind up paying is £5,000.
The UK's Intellectual Property Office is thinking of changing this fine from £5,000 to £50,000.
What do you think? Good idea or bad idea? As it happens you can nip over to the UK IPO and let them know what you think. You've only got until the 31st to do so, though.
P.S. This is an English legal thing, Scotland doesn't bother with Magistrate Courts.

Another day, another daring ensemble with plunging neckline, another court appearance for Lindsay Lohan: It's nice to know that there are still some things you can count on in life.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner warned the "Herbie Fully Loaded" star Thursday that she needed to spend more time doing community service and enroll in psychological counseling or risk running into problems with her probation.
Sautner reminded Lohan during the status hearing that she had to complete 480 hours of community service by next April, and that she would not grant any extensions, even if Lohan is working on a film.
Lohan has reportedly logged 33 hours so far.
"She's not going to get five minutes more than one year" to complete the service at a shelter for women and the county morgue, Sautner said.
The judge opened the hearing by telling Lohan that probation officials had submitted a report stating she had violated the terms of her release.
"Don't look shocked, Ms. Lohan, because it isn't true," Sautner said, explaining the probation officer was relying on incorrect info.
It was Lohan's first appearance in court since completing 35 days of house arrest (if you call that house arrest). Shawn Holley, her lawyer, noted the actress was prohibited from doing community service during that time. Decent point.
Lohan has completed one of four anti-shoplifting classes. Sautner said she must complete the rest before returning to court on Oct. 19.
Holley said her client is having trouble enrolling in court-ordered psychological counseling. Sautner agreed that the actress should not have to enroll in group treatment, but said Lohan must find someone to counsel her within three weeks.
Lohan cannot afford to pay a psychiatrist who was previously treating her but would find a new program shortly, Holley said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Venezuelan bankers would be wise to heed Hugo Chávez's warning on Thursday that they lend more to the housing sector. As they will be keenly aware, their combative president has not exactly shied away from disciplining unruly banks in the past.
But there is another, perhaps more fundamental barrier to Chávez's rather ambitious target set earlier this year to build some 350,000 homes by presidential elections due in December 2012: a shortage of building materials. Read more

Fusion is an exhibition of artistic talents which originates from <st1place><st1placename>York</st1placename> <st1placetype>University</st1placetype></st1place>, a consolidation of various types of dance, modelling and music with the primary aim of raising money for charitable courses. It is without a doubt one of the most enjoyable and entertaining ways to contribute to those in need. The organisation welcomes a wide range of artistic skills from dancing, modelling, choreography, music compilation, designing and sewing costumes and props, web and graphic design etc. The result is an amalgamation of talents that guarantees outstanding entertainment. The show typically takes a year to organise and is renowned for being an exceptional show of a professional standard entirely run and performed by students. Previous events have attracted an audience of around 4000 people every year (including students and the local population) and raised tens of thousands for charity. Its considerable prestige and audience figures has guaranteed sponsorship from well known companies including KPMG, Ernst & Young, Unilever, Hugo Boss, easy jet, Mango, Top Shop, River Island, Zara and much more.
In addition to creative members Fusion needs business-minded individuals to obtain sponsorship and advertising deals, take charge of spending decisions and publicity to maximise the fundraising potential for the event. Have you not got a creative bone in your body? No flair for creating business connections? No worries, not all our positions require specialist talents; an enthusiastic attitude and interest in making Fusion the biggest and most spectacular event possible is sufficient.
Think this is something you can do? For the passionate and driven individuals who want to make a difference and contribute to this unique event, this is your chance to join the committee. Being a committee member of such an event in its first year would be hard work but Fusion is also a way of meeting great friends, having fun, trying something new and gaining confidence.

Ear Infections in Cats: Causes, Treatment, and Prevention
Cats don't often get ear infections, but when they do, the cause can be complex.
If your vet has ruled out mites -- the culprit in about half of all feline ear infections -- she'll have to do some sleuthing to figure out what's causing your cat's outer or middle ear infection. It could be allergies, or an underlying illness like diabetes, tumors, a damaged eardrum, or feline leukemia virus.
Diagnosing the condition may require sedation or X-rays, but treating ear infections usually isn't complicated. Antibiotics, antiparasitics, and corticosteroids are the most common treatments.
What's essential is that you get your cat in for treatment as soon as you notice signs of ear discomfort. Ear infections can become chronic and lead to deafness and facial paralysis.
What Causes Ear Infections in Cats?
Generally, unless your cat has picked up mites from another animal, ear infections are a secondary condition. That means they are actually the result of some other underlying medical problem.
Here are some of the contributing causes and perpetuating factors for external ear infections, called otitis externa, and middle ear infections, called otitis media:
Infections of the middle ear are usually the result of an infection that has spread there from the outer ear canal. Tumors, a ruptured ear drum, or improper ear cleaning can also lead to middle-ear infections in cats.
What Are the Signs of an Ear Infection in a Cat?
A cat will show his discomfort by scratching or pawing at his ear or shaking or tilting his head in the direction of the painful ear. Other symptoms to look for include:

EXTRA parking restrictions are set to be employed on a busy Burnley industrial estate in a bid to make access easier for businesses.
Plans had been drawn up by Burnley Council for 'no waiting' restrictions at the entrance to Farrington Close, off Farrington Road.
An application was made to Lancashire County Council to make the scheme a reality, and the proposal was then advertised.
One objection claimed that the parking problems being experienced there would only be temporary as one company expanded.
But county council highways officials believe that the restrictions would improve 'traffic flow' around the junction, and there should be enough off-street parking locally.
County Coun John Fillis, highways cabinet member, has provisionally approved the move, pending it being 'called in' by Lancashire's scrutiny committee.

Continental PureContact with EcoPlus Technology
Initial Review: 7,500 miles on tires
December 27, 2013
These tires continue to impress me. The Pure Contacts give me much more confidence in the snow and ice the the OE Pro Contacts did. The tires still ride smooth and quiet and tread wear seems to be even though I am overdue for a rotation. Will definitely look into buying these tires again.

"Reporting from the red carpet is such fun, but it's always hard work and a real scrum.
There are loads of journalists all fighting to get the stars to talk to them, and the celebs end up repeating the same answers about 20 times for all the different interviews.
You have to be quite pushy, but luckily some of the popstars, like Busted, recognise us lot from Newsround and Newsround Showbiz and are happy to come over.
I got to talk to loads of people which was great fun. The people I particularly liked were Jamelia, who was a real sweetie, and Alicia Keys, who was so polite and friendly, and really pretty.
I was expecting to be a bit intimidated by 50 Cent - but he was so mild-mannered and nice - almost shy! He looked great in his suit. Busted, as always, were really friendly and I'm so pleased they did well.
Doing the live report into the programme was a bit nerve-wracking, just because I'm always worried I'll have a total blank and forget everything I was going to say. I think I came across a bit over-excited, but it went fine.
I was gutted we couldn't go into the ceremony or any of the parties afterward - I could've got some even better gossip for you! But it was great to be there and actually see all those famous people in the flesh. It's weird, but honestly they are just like you and me!"

Padstow 2.5 miles; Wadebridge 4.5 miles.
Set in a wooded valley at the head of a tidal creek running up from the Camel Estuary, this tiny hamlet of Cornish stone houses exudes peace and tranquillity. Footpaths lead in all directions - across the fields, over to the next village, down the creek to the estuary and along the water's edge to Padstow. Wildlife, waterfowl and the sights and sounds of the country are everywhere, and yet, just ten minutes by car, and you are in Padstow with its winding streets, quaint fishing harbour, excellent pubs and top quality restaurants. The excellent surfing beaches of Harlyn and Constantine are ideal for safe family fun, and Constatine Bay is also home to a golf course, just a few miles away, while a passenger ferry across the river from Padstow to Rock takes you to the beach at Daymer Bay. Just around the corner toward Pentire Head is the surfing paradise at Polzeath, and when the beach no longer calls, there's a golf course nearby, several stately homes and gardens to visit and the Camel Trail to walk or cycle. The fabulous Eden Project is just fifteen miles away.

'I did do therapy and antidepressants for a brief period, which helped me,' the 'Mad Men' star recalled the time he became an orphan at the age of 20.
Jon Hamm suffered from chronic depression after the death of his father - and turned to therapy and antidepressants to cope with his sorrow. The "Mad Men" star, whose mother died when he was aged just two, was a 20-year-old student in Texas when he received the news his dad had passed away, leaving him parentless.
He was plunged into a dark depression following the tragedy - and only came through with the help of medication and therapy sessions. Hamm tells Britain's Observer magazine, "I struggled with chronic depression. I was in bad shape. I knew I had to get back in school and some kind of structured environment and... continue."
"I did do therapy and antidepressants for a brief period, which helped me. Which is what therapy does: it gives you another perspective when you are so lost in your own spiral, your own bulls**t. It helps. And honestly? Antidepressants help! If you can change your brain chemistry enough to... reset the auto-meter, kick-start the engine!"

Space-based GPS can be handy on your smart phone, in your car, and on a mobile personal navigation device. But a new Australian company says it can boost location accuracy, allowing location devices to pinpoint exactly where you are—to within inches.
According to Technology Review, published by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Locata has figured out how to boost location accuracy to exacting levels by essentially mimicking the functions of space-based GPS satellites—but on a much closer and cheaper scale.
Locata's technique is based on adding ground-based "LocataLites"—about the size of hardback books—across a given area. Each device contains a clock and communicates with other nearby LocataLites to ensure that its time is in perfect sync with the others. When a handheld device within the coverage area wants to determine its location, it polls all the nearby LocataLites for its time-based signal. The handheld determines how far away it is from each LocataLite by determining the time differences—mere nanoseconds—of each signal it receives. Using such time differences, the handheld can triangulate its position within the grid of LocataLites.
Since the Earth-based LocataLite stations would be physically closer than the GPS satellites orbiting tens of thousand of miles in space, it would take less time for Locata's signals to reach receivers. More importantly, while GPS satellites use accurate—and pricey—atomic clocks, the Locata boxes user simpler time pieces and existing WiFi technologies for broadcasting. That makes the units much simpler and cheaper to deploy—possibly to areas where traditional GPS service is spotty.
For now, Locata's system will be used for special needs—to track aircraft on the U.S. Air Force's White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, for example. But next month, Locata plans to work with other companies to build the technology into receivers and as a possible enhancement to devices that already use GPS-based location technology.

From the manufacturer:
The Mitsubishi F-1 is a single-seat attack aircraft that evolved from the Mitsubishi T-2 supersonic jet trainer. Its primary task in the Japanese Self Defense Force is anti-shipping with an air-to-air capability. The F-1 entered service in April 1978 and production ended in March 1987. 160 aircraft were planned, but only 77 were built. The F-1 had several upgrades to extend its service life. The F-1 has slowly been replaced by the Mitsubishi F-2 and upgraded F-4EJ "Kai" Phantom IIs. In 2006, six F-1s were retired.

Suresh Chari, who also serves on the foundation's scientific advisory board, will use the grant to support his work in finding a strategy for early detection of pancreatic cancer in patients over the age of 50 with new-onset diabetes. Chari's study will make use of 15 years of research in the link between diabetes and pancreatic cancer, as well as observations of pancreatic cancer in Mayo Clinic patients.
Using a database of 150,000 patients, Chari plans to perform lab tests and endoscopic ultrasounds in patients with a blood glucose greater than 125 and a weight loss of five pounds or more. The strategy will be able to reveal tumors as little as 3 mm in size. With a prognosis that has not improved in the past 50 years, members of the Sandler-Kenner Foundation are eager to support Chari's new approach.
"This is the first screening program for sporadic pancreatic cancer that is being conducted anywhere in the U.S. or internationally," said Vay Liang W. Go, a professor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and member of the foundation's scientific advisory board.

YORK City manager Jackie McNamara has admitted he does not have a points target for survival in mind.
Only 42 points were needed to avoid relegation from Sky Bet League Two last term as Cheltenham and Torquay went down.
But, during the previous two campaigns, 51 and 52 points were required to beat the drop.
If City were to match the latter haul, it would equate to winning ten and drawing two of their remaining 19 games.
But McNamara is only setting his sights on climbing above those teams currently within striking distance of his bottom-of-the-table squad, who currently lie four points from safety.
He said: "When I first came in, 52 points was mentioned as the safety mark but, personally, I just want to catch the teams above us. The likes of Stevenage are in our sights now and, whilst out two games in hand are difficult, nothing worries me."
One of those matches will be Northampton at home on February 23 but, ahead of this weekend's trip to the league leaders, McNamara insists his team can shock the hosts.
"They are a well-organised side with good players who move the ball around well and it also sticks when it goes up front but, if we do things properly and stick to our gameplan, we can cause an upset," he claimed. "I want to raise the players' belief and instil confidence and the pressure, expectations and demands will be on them because it's top v bottom at their home stadium.
"But we drew at Carlisle and beat Stevenage, so we can build on those four points from the last six. We will look at their strengths and weaknesses and they have players who can hurt you.
"They have good movement in behind the strikers, so we've got to be switched on first and foremost and compact in certain areas, but we need to be able to go anywhere knowing we are capable of winning three points."

Busta Rhymes teamed up with the rock band in a song called 'We Made It' and has shot the video in L.A..
More and more clash of genres are brought up to the surface these days. Rapper Busta Rhymes has nabbed a collaboration with rock group Linkin Park to do a song called "We Made It" that will appear on Rhymes' new set, "Blessed" as the first single. The track itself is a joint production between Cool & Dre and Linkin Park's DJ, Mike Shinoda.
Not only that, a video has been shot for the single in Los Angeles on Tuesday, April 15 with director Chris Robinson. However, from Linkin Park's camp, only Shinoda and vocalist Chester Bennington will appear on the video. No premiere date has been set up yet.
Speaking on the song, Rhymes commented, "It ain't just about the 'hood, it ain't just about the suburbs, it's about everybody. This is one of those songs that can't be described better than touching the souls of the common people." The album is due June 17 via Flipmode/Aftermath/Interscope and has spawned a club single called "Don't Touch Me (Throw Da Water on 'Em)".
This would not be the first collaboration with a rapper for Linkin Park. In 2004 they teamed up with Jay-Z to release "Collision Course" that went to #1 on Billboard Hot 200 chart.
