Like many last night, I tuned into the 2013 Golden Globe Awards and signed into twitter. Award shows bring out the snark in me and twitter is the perfect place to share. One of the things I noticed was the excitement that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were hosting. Even my jaded heart has to admit that they were hilarious and I honestly felt like we didn't see enough of them and their antics. Who didn't love Poehler quipping, "wow that was an exceedingly special guest, that was Hilary Clinton's husband," after former president Bill Clinton made his appearance?
And they're right, Ricky Gervais who?
Notable moments included the always classy Ann Hathaway, who pointed out that Sally Fields paved the way for her. As a huge fan of Sally Fields, I couldn't help but be incredibly moved. Then there was Jodi Foster, who was given the Cecil B DeMille award for her lifetime of work in the industry. Foster used the opportunity to come out, attack 6 year old honey boo boo and then lecture everyone about privacy.
"I hope you're not disappointed that there won't be a big coming-out speech tonight. I already did my coming-out about a thousand years ago.
"Back in the days when a fragile young girl would open up to trusted friends and family and co-workers and then gradually proudly to everyone who knew her, to everyone she actually met. But now apparently every celebrity is expected to expose the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance and a reality show.
"I'm sorry, that's just not me and it never will be."
Then you had Lena Dunham, who took home two awards for her navel gazing HBO show Girls. In her first acceptance speech, Dunham said, "This award is for every woman who has ever felt like there wasn't a space for her. This show has made a space for me, thank you so much."
I think it would be fair to say that women had some pretty impressive moments at last night's Golden Globes. The problem is that the women who won notable awards and made interesting comments were all White. The only exception was Dr Aida Takla-O'Reilly, outgoing head of the HFPA, who referenced 2012 pop sensation Carly Rae Jepsen in her speech by saying, "As I disappear into the delta twilight … allow me to say three little words to Bradley Cooper…Call me, maybe?" Ooops, silly me, I forgot that they did let Lucy Liu give out an award. So yeah, that makes two WOC who were allowed to grace the stage momentarily. Of course, while I was busy cheering about finally seeing a non White female face, people on twitter were busy commenting on how ugly Liu's dress was.
Last night's Golden Globes is certainly not the only award show to be White centric. I have become used to White people celebrating their achievements on award show after award show. The problem for me is that last night as I tweeted my sarcasm, I couldn't help but notice how many people tweeted about how feminist the show was and how it advanced the work of women in Hollywood. No one bothered to ask which women? If you happened to be a White woman, then last night was a refreshing change but if you, like me, are a WOC, then last night was business as usual.
The award winner who by far irritated me the most, was Lena Dunham. This is a woman who won for a navel gazing show, which just accidentally failed to include any people of colour in the first season and then claimed that her award was for any woman who felt that they didn't fit in. Did she for even a moment pause to think that her privilege and racism continues to support spaces where marginalized women don't fit? Girls posits itself as representative of women from a Dunham's generation but the truth of the matter is that to identify with Girls, one must necessarily be White and exist with a certain amount of class privilege.
Then there was Jodi Foster's public acknowledgement of her BFF Mel Gibson. To be clear, this is a man who used vicious anti-woman slurs and then suggested that his ex deserved to be "raped by a gang of roving niggers." I suppose you can afford to ignore these things when you have race and class privilege. Foster may have come out for the first time publicly but I fail to see why I should celebrate the life of a woman who by her support of Mel Gibson, has proven that she has no problem with racism, antisemitism, and of course brutal misogyny. Her support of Mel Gibson, says more about her, than the Cecil B DeMille award ever could.
Last night women won awards for playing a neurologically atypical CIA agent and for singing their way through the French revolution and so it would be fair to say that the work which garnered attention was varied. The problem is that these roles were all played by White women. Women aren't advancing — White women aren't paving the way for all women — they are simply patting each other on the back and having one big exclusive slumber party. We didn't have a feminist or pro woman Golden Globes; we celebrated the beauty, talent and skill of White womanhood last night. There isn't a single actress who won last night whose role couldn't have been played by a WOC and that this will never be acknowledged publicly, speaks volumes.

Penguins' Bylsma to coach Team USA
Dan Bylsma will coach the U.S. men's ice hockey team at the 2014 Winter Olympics, sources told the Tribune-Review on Thursday.
Bylsma, the Penguins' coach, was not available for comment. He will be introduced at a news conference in New York. Team USA's management and coaches also will be unveiled at the news conference.
Penguins general manager Ray Shero will serve Team USA as associate to general manager David Poile, the sources said.
Shero said Poile, his former boss with Nashville, would be a deserving choice to replace 2010 Team USA general manger Brian Burke if Burke did not want to return.
Burke will serve Team USA in an advisory role.
Bylsma was considered the front-runner for the post by many within USA Hockey.
Besides having presided over a Stanley Cup-winning Penguins team in 2009, he is perceived as an ideal coach to oversee a squad that will be made up of NHL players — if the league and International Olympic Committee reach an agreement.
NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly has said he is optimistic NHL players will participate in the 2014 Games, which will be held in the Russian resort town of Sochi.
Bylsma's candidacy also was boosted by his knowledge of Penguins stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, who are expected to play for Canada and Russia, respectively, at the Games.

BLUES boss Gareth Ainsworth hinted he could dip into the loan market for a midfielder with Stuart Lewis injured and Josh Scowen suspended.
Skipper Lewis has been missing for the last three games through a hamstring strain that he hasn't managed to shake off, while Scowen was hit with a two game ban yesterday.
The records may show Saturday's booking was his ninth of the season but the youngster also saw yellow in the abandoned game at Portsmouth.
The result of that game may not count but the bookings do – meaning Scowen is set for a spell out through suspension.
Ainsworth has the option of recalling Jesse Kewley-Graham or Matt Spring to the side in a straight swap for Scowen.
Despite featuring on the bench in recent matches, 20-year-old Kewley-Graham hasn't played for Blues this season, while the experienced Spring appears to have been frozen out of the picture after not even making the squad since December 7.
A lack of match fitness for the duo is no doubt a concern to Ainsworth, who instead is looking for someone who is ready to slot straight into the team.
He said: "We'll look at that and see where Stu is. We'll maybe have a little look in the loan market and see if there's anything around, but it's going to be very quick with this turnaround of games. You need people who are ready to go.
"Stu's very close. We didn't want to rush him back."
Ainsworth added: "I didn't think Josh deserved to be booked today. I thought it was a fair tackle but the referee's seen otherwise, and that costs you sometimes."

Security staff at Parliament House could lose their paid tea breaks, according to a leaked email, under a wide-ranging review of roster arrangements that management agrees could be seen as "provocative".
The correspondence sent on behalf of the first assistant secretary in the building and asset management division, Neil Skill, said staff would be consulted on any changes and would be given 28 days' notice before any changes to work practices.
"In a rostered environment change can be a particularly sensitive and perhaps provocative issue and we recognise that PSS (security) officers have personal lives that need to be balanced with rostered arrangements," said the email, which outlined a number of other changes, most of which cannot be reported for security reasons.
"Having said that, we are obliged to manage rosters in a way that delivers the best value for money and delivers the services that we provide in the most cost effective manner."
The email said the proposed changes to the master roster had been brought up at the workplace consultative committee on June 12.
It also said the obligations of the Fair Work Act will be honoured and the views of staff would be sought before final decisions are made.
Staff were told they could provide feedback until June 27.
It is understood that security staff at Parliament House receive two 20-minute breaks a day during standard shifts, generally one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Perhaps the highest profile role of the security staff is to screen people entering the building, including visitors and people who work at Parliament House.
Part of the job involves remaining stationed at certain entry points to the building for set periods of time.
A Department of Parliamentary Services spokeswoman said breaks that are unpaid were not in jeopardy.
The spokeswoman said the department regularly reviewed roster arrangements to ensure services were operationally effective, cost efficient and offered best value for money for taxpayers.
"DPS has flagged to staff in the security branch that rosters and underlying long-term practices are being reviewed," the spokeswoman said.
"The practices under review include paid morning and afternoon tea breaks, which currently occur in security branch but not in other parts of DPS.
"Security staff are being consulted as part of this review.
"No decisions have been taken and feedback is currently being sought from staff."
Security at Capital Hill can be a sensitive issue.
It was reported last month that a year-long trial of security arrangements at Parliament House had been slammed as guards and workers struggled at the building's entry points.
It was announced that MPs, their families and staff, and federal employees would not be screened by metal detectors or X-ray machines at private entry points under a trial designed to speed up access.
Journalists, contractors, diplomats and members of the public were still required to be screened, as well as anyone entering through the building's main entrance.
Under the plan, approved by Parliament House's presiding officers, those exempted from metal detector checks would be subject to random screening.
Days after the concerns about new arrangements were reported, Liberal senator Bill Heffernan smuggled a pipe bomb into the building to make a point about declining security standards.

The NFL schedule-makers tried to get this right.
They planned for the final game played at Candlestick Park to be special. They set a 2012 NFC Championship Game rematch between the 49ers and the Falcons. However, the Falcons have not held up their end of the bargain. They are 4-10 as they try getting revenge against the 49ers for their road win in the title game in January.
The 49ers have done their part, as they are 10-4 and can clinch a playoff berth with either an Arizona loss at Seattle or by beating the Falcons. The 49ers are focused on sending out Candlestick the right way.
Coach Jim Harbaugh said this week the 49ers are the group that "doesn't want to screw up" the Candlestick finale.
ESPN.com Falcons reporter Vaughn McClure and 49ers reporter Bill Williamson discuss the game:
McClure: Bill, the 49ers and Vernon Davis had their way in the passing game against the Falcons in the NFC Championship Game. And the Falcons have had trouble covering tight ends again this season. Do you think Davis will expose their poor coverage once again?
Williamson: The 49ers' passing game is really coming together. The return of Michael Crabtree has sparked it. Crabtree has played the past three games and he is getting better each week. It opens up possibilities for Davis and Anquan Boldin. Quarterback Colin Kaepernick and Davis have a nice chemistry. Davis is a mismatch for nearly every defense and he's particularly good against defenses that struggle against the tight end. He had eight catches for 180 yards against Arizona in October. Vaughn, do you see any way the Falcons can slow down the 49ers' receiving weapons?
McClure: Not really. The Falcons started three rookies in the secondary last Sunday against the Redskins and gave up pass plays of 62 and 53 yards, the latter for a touchdown. All three rookies -– cornerbacks Desmond Trufant and Robert Alford and free safety Zeke Motta –- made some mistakes in coverage. But Trufant has held his own most of the season after coming in as the team's first-round draft pick, so he's going to compete, but Alford still has some ground to make up. Motta might not even play with regular starter Thomas DeCoud possibly returning from a concussion. However the Falcons line up, they have to play with better eye discipline and technique. Not to mention the pass rush has to make an effort to put pressure on the elusive Kaepernick or else he'll carve up the Falcons and let loose to Davis, Boldin, and Crabtree.
The Falcons were supposed to be challenged heavily by the read-option this season with matchups against Russell Wilson, Robert Griffin III and Kaepernick. Wilson didn't use it much and RGIII didn't play. So, will Kaepernick and the 49ers utilize the strategy on Monday night, or has it just not been as effective this season?
Williamson: They haven't used it much this season. It's been used occasionally. But I will tell you this: Kaepernick has been running with a lot of confidence in the past few games. I think it is because the passing game has opened up and it has affected the entire offense positively. Vaughn, do you get the sense the Falcons have a lack of confidence facing Kaepernick and this offense because of the loss in the NFC title game?
McClure: The Falcons can't be too confident about much of anything, at 4-10. From a defensive standpoint, six starters who faced Kaepernick last season either are no longer with the team or have been benched. And if DeCoud doesn't return this week from a concussion, there's a possibility that five rookies will start against the 49ers offense come Monday night. It will be quite a lesson for those players, to face a true dual-threat quarterback. The Falcons haven't looked too confident the past two weeks defending against a pair of backup quarterbacks, Matt Flynn and Kirk Cousins.
A lot has been made of Aldon Smith's off-field issues this season. In fact, Falcons receiver Roddy White actually stepped out and said Smith was a "good dude" who just made a mistake. How has Smith responded after his time away from the team, and is he back to his normal self on the field yet?
Williamson: Yes, Smith is back to his dominating self. He has been back for six games and he was eased into the defense after missing five games while seeking treatment for substance abuse. Smith has been particularly good for the past four games, and he's been dominant the past two games. He is his normal self as a pass-rusher and he is continuing to grow as a complete player. He is a major cog in a defense that is playing at a high level. Vaughn, do you see any way the Falcons can slow Smith and crew Monday night?
McClure: No. Not at all. This offensive line has been like a sieve all season long. Don't be fooled by the Falcons being ranked eighth in sacks given up per pass attempt. They've allowed Matt Ryan to be sacked or hit way too many times despite Ryan making a conscious effort to get the ball out quicker this season. Right now, the Falcons are relying on second-year left tackle Lamar Holmes to protect Ryan's blind side, and Holmes is coming off being abused by Brian Orakpo of the Redskins. Plus, the Falcons have to be aware of Ahmad Brooks along with Smith. I covered a game last season during which the 49ers totally dominated the Chicago Bears with a swarming pass rush, led by Smith. I can envision the same thing happening to the Falcons.

Amazon might be losing money for every Kindle Fire it sells in the future

1. speckledapple (Posts: 892; Member since: 29 Sep 2011)
Because of the content factor, what they lose in immediate revenue, which they are not directly pressed for, they make up in shear volume of the thing. I guarentee this device will be everywhere for Christmas and the number of sales could be equal to that of the kinect for Microsoft.
2. Victor.H (Posts: 785; Member since: 27 May 2011)
Quite possible. Actually, it looks to me like the only thing that could stop Amazon from being super successful with the Fire is the supply chain. If Bezos gets the supply chain going and manufacturers manage to make enough of those Kindle Fires, the demand could be huge. Of course, assuming it's as bug-free as it looks like.
3. cncrim (Posts: 910; Member since: 15 Aug 2011)
I don't think so, loose $50/tablet? Amazon knows what they get themself into. All I can say is the reality is seller never mistake what they sell, only buyer do..... PERIOD.
4. Joshing4fun (Posts: 1237; Member since: 13 Aug 2010)
Amazon is not Hp and this is a kindle not a webOS device. There is no way Amazon would start selling something this huge and for a loss.
5. G-Reg (unregistered)
This is far from a surprising tactic. Its used alot by sony and xbox to just name a few.
Make a product where the comsumer must purchase content from the develper to have desired usage. Then toss in the fact DL content is cheap as hell to distribute and have available and they have a win win situation.
They will make tons of cash off this beast, even if they tank 50 for each unit.

A new generation of flooring opens up new possibilities OBJECT CARPET presents FREESTILE, the next generation carpet tiles: an innovative, especially flat weaving technique gives the floor covering its trim modern – for a carpet tile – extremely hard surface, yet still preserves all advantages of textile floor coverings with regard to comfort and health. 16 different, individualistic models in 4 respective colour schemes constitute the point of departure of a unique spatial design. The key feature is that each motif is cut into a large individual 50 x 50 cm tile. Freely laid, an ever new total picture is created, which is surprisingly harmonious.
Wilkhahn: Metrik, Design White ID
With Metrik the comfortable concept of cantilever chairs has been transformed into a contemporary design: Backrest, seat and armrests create a monolithic body whose form-fit connection with the tubular steel frame is only revealed by a narrow gap. Organic and comfortable areas in the seat are combined with clearly defined and simple geometries which form precise light lines. The integration of all the components plays with contrasts such as distinctiveness and neutrality, comfort and an understated appeal, as well as modernity and timeless design. A choice of six colours for the body and frame and plenty of different options and colours for the covers ensure huge design scalability.
YDOL Acoustics introduces RELAX Twist RELAX Twist is a dynamic acoustic wall system consisting of individual controllable absorber modules. The modules can be closed to a wall or opened at any angle, electrically or manually. Due to the strong absorption effect, even in an open position there is a remarkable reduction in the level from one room to the other. The closed position is equivalent to the insulation effect of a dry wall, but also generates a massive sound absorption for the two generated rooms.

Clients must be diligent in choosing a consultant. The problem they face is how to assess which consulting firms are ethical, experienced, and committed to excellence. For over 50 years the Association of Executive Search and Leadership Consultants has set the standards for the profession. Here's why:
AESC members are the highest quality firms worldwide. Membership is selective and conducted by an AESC regional member council using global due diligence standards. The rigorous review process includes a site visit, an extensive evaluation of firm processes, checking of client references and a review of any legal actions that implicate the firm in ethical breaches. If selected, members agree to abide by the AESC's Standards of Excellence and Code of Professional Practice.
AESC members provide their clients with credibility. AESC members understand and can assure appropriate levels of regulatory compliance for clients of search. The landscape of corporate governance is evolving at a rapid pace and on a global scale. With increasing oversight and transparency it is critical that hiring and advancement processes, especially in senior leadership roles, stand up to intense scrutiny. Boards increasingly see the value in hiring an independent third party to identify high-quality diverse talent, ensuring they have looked to the best in the market, not just friends and private networks.
When it comes to executive search, candidates respond very differently to an independent third party than they do to direct outreach from the hiring firm. Top executives trust the confidentiality they know they receive from an experienced independent third party. They are more likely to consider opportunities with the persuasion of someone they trust. Experienced AESC member consultants ensure that candidates have a highly professional, respectful, and positive experience. That experience can enhance a candidate's perception of the client, and increase the likelihood that in-demand candidates will say "yes" to clients represented by an AESC member.
Across all services, integrity is the most important tenet of the AESC Code. Members have an unwavering commitment to integrity, and practice at the highest standards. Clients can be assured that their consultant will conduct assignments at the peak of professionalism.
AESC members provide companies with a competitive advantage—the ability to find, attract and develop the best talent in the world and ensure that executives are successfully integrated. AESC members provide much wider access to the passive job market, comprised of individuals who are not actively seeking employment but may be open to the right opportunity. It is particularly challenging to access that market, but this is one of many areas where AESC members excel. Members cultivate relationships over time, through deep, meaningful engagement within the specific industries in which they specialize.
AESC stays at the forefront of the profession—for the benefit of their clients. AESC members have exclusive access to research and reports on current issues relevant to the search for talent and effective leadership, such as diversity, data protection, and evolving regulatory environments.
AESC provides exclusive training for members to keep their teams' skills sharp, including an Advanced Certificate in Executive Search and Leadership Consulting for senior consultants, developed jointly with Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations. These programs for AESC members bring cutting-edge theory and industry best practices to client assignments.
Clients can expect to work with an executive search and leadership consulting firm that meets rigorous standards, has deep knowledge in their respective markets and industries, is committed to an exemplary Code of Professional Practice, and deploys unmatched resources to each assignment. AESC members serve as trusted advisors who consistently improve and innovate to bring the best resources to bear on behalf of their clients.
By virtue of selecting an AESC member, clients can be secure in their choice of consulting firm, and can reap the benefits that only a trusted advisor can deliver. The best organizations work with the best firms: members of AESC.

The Iron Lady turns 78 today and just like many lesser mortals is beginning to show signs of her advanced age. British journalist Simon Hoggart paints an almost pathetic picture after meeting Baroness Thatcher at a party earlier this year.
However, the slightly dotty old lady Hoggart saw is in marked contrast to the vigorous 50-year-old who was unexpectedly elected to the leadership of the Conservative Party in 1975, going on to become prime minister in 1979.
The official Margaret Thatcher site is the work of the Margaret Thatcher Foundation and provides an in-depth resource on every aspect of the life and times of the woman who came to be known simply as "Maggie".
The section "Essential Margaret Thatcher" gives an excellent biographical sketch of Thatcher, from her early years learning conservative politics at the knee of her local-councillor father to her close personal relationship with US president Ronald Reagan.
The real strength of this site lies in its remarkable collection of annotated first-hand source material - speech transcripts, parliamentary proceedings and letters - that would delight any student of the era.
It's all here, including gems such as her speech to the Tory Party conference in 1980 when she famously announced, "The lady's not for turning" or her equally legendary "Rejoice" comment delivered on the doorstep of Downing Street in 1982 in response to the retaking of one of the Falkland Islands.
Reading these pronouncements that are by turn slightly dotty and extraordinarily powerful, you get a sense of the mood of the times. Over at margaretthatcher.com, the pickings are much slimmer but the authors promise to build on the information over time. The key item of interest here is the amazing guestbook, which demonstrates how strong a hold Thatcher has on many people even now.
Typical comments range from: "You are my idol ... you were definitely the best leader there has been. Oh how I wish you were still in power ...", to "Margaret Thatcher is a war criminal and should be tried alongside Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler." There's even a note from a slightly confused American fan who claims Mrs T is "truly a giant among men".
While not quite in the league of past masters such as Churchill, Thatcher's wicked tongue was nonetheless legendary. Click through to www.margaretthatcher.net/quotations for a good searchable database of things said by and about Maggie.
You'll find gems such as her comment to Canadian premier Pierre Trudeau in 1981: "Pierre, you're being obnoxious. Stop acting like a naughty schoolboy," and, "If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman."
You'll also come across perhaps the most famous description of Thatcher (from French president Francois Mitterand): "She has the eyes of Caligula, and the lips of Marilyn Monroe."
In the 11 years of her reign as PM, two major events stand out, and they are both about conflict. The first was the Falklands War. The BBC's excellent Fight for the Falklands site recalls those disturbing times.
Thatcher's other major conflict was at home, two years later, when she took on Arthur Scargill and the mineworkers. There's a great deal of material online about this topic, but the personal testimonies from South Yorkshire miners and their families in Undermined? Britain and the Miners' Strike, are among the most powerful. During the 12-month strike, about 20,000 people were injured, 200 were imprisoned and five died. When Thatcher finally "broke" the mineworkers, her response was widely broadcast: "Of course people tell me that I shouldn't gloat. Well, I am gloating."

A WINCHESTER boy emulated his Olympic heroes by completing a charity race.
Eight-year-old Samuel 'Sammy' Roberts, of Badger Farm, was inspired to take part in the Great South Run mini-race in Portsmouth last month.
He raised £220 for the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (CAFOD) after completing the 1.5km course.
Sammy, a pupil at St Peter's Catholic Primary School, said he was happy to complete the race and wanted to take part because he enjoys running.
He said: "I'm quite good at long distance running and when I watched the Olympics on TV, I wanted to have a go at this race.
"I have running club every Friday at school, and I go out running at the weekends. Anything active I do helps, like swimming and tennis."
Lynda Mussell, CAFOD manager for Hampshire, said: "We are delighted that Samuel took part in the race raised funds for CAFOD on our 50th anniversary year. It is really inspiring to see young people putting their faith into action and using their talents to make a difference and help the work of CAFOD's partners around the world."

text: "You make cuts where you can," said Reuter, 51.___ JUSTICE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago is contemplating closing its doors one workday every week, explained Tom Bruton, the court's clerk. If there's no fix for months, it may have to stop holding civil trials. The yearly operating budget of the court â¿¿ one of the nation's busiest â¿¿ is around $16 million. Bruton didn't have exact figures for the looming shortfall but said it could be in the millions of dollars. The cuts also would force around 1,000 employees working out of the FBI's Chicago office to take 14 unpaid furlough days, including agents working current investigations, said office spokeswoman Joan Hyde. In an email, Hyde said the federal budget cuts "would undoubtedly impact (the Chicago FBI's task forces') valuable work in areas such as terrorism, violent crimes, crimes against children and white collar crimes." ___ SOCIAL SERVICES Carol Beaney, 57, a disabled resident from Crescent City, arranges a ride in a van equipped with a lift for her power wheelchair whenever she needs to go to a doctor's appointment. The van is part of the special medical services provided by a nonprofit rural transit service called SHOW BUS, and the nonprofit plans to eliminate special medical services if the budget cuts come to pass. The service helps Beaney live more independently in her own home. Losing transportation could hasten a move to a nursing home or other institution for people like her. "I sincerely hope (the White House and Congress) are never in my position and have to listen to their future being debated like that," she said. Laura Dick, the director of SHOW BUS, which serves seven Illinois counties, said county governments could not make up the shortfall in funding.

Elegant Bangle
By bigverdi
from Mississauga
This wonderfully comfortable bracelet is stylish and elegant and looks much more expensive than its actual price. Get many admiring comments when I wear it -- by people with excellent taste, of course! And, yes, all are surprised when I say it's from The Shopping Channel.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Love the impact

It also illustrates how, through innovative design, a refrigerant-based system can be deployed with minimal impact on present infrastructure, and it enumerates the advantages of an active refrigerant-based cooling approach over a passive energy-neutral design.
Read the full Alcatel-Lucent white paper to see how a phase change or "two-phase" data center cooling solution can help organizations:
• Decrease energy costs – due to the decreased need for supplemental air conditioning units;
• Maximize space utilization within the data center – by allowing more servers in each cabinet, more cabinets per data center
• Eliminate the need for hot and cold aisles and isolated high power cabinets/racks;
• Minimize the need for specially conditioned rooms for data centers; and
• Help address eco-sustainability requirements/issues
o Reduced carbon footprint

Pleas note: click on the headline to see charts full size.
OK, so I'm not above misusing the buzzword-du-jour, that's not important right now. From January 1950 until September 28, 2008 the S & P 500 had moves of 5% or more (up or down) a total of 19 times. That's an average of one every three years. For perspective, keep in mind that so-called great earthquakes (8.0 or higher) occur about once a year.
Looks like a .wav file, eh?
Lately, there's been a whole lotta shakin' goin' on. What took over 58 years to happen once, happened again in just 78 trading days. That's right, there were 19 days between September 29 and January 20 with 5% moves (that's an average of one every 4.1 days).
Interesting times, indeed……(hope you've got good veins in your legs)

NASA's rover Curiosity is set to spend the next several days using the camera on its mast in a search for the next route to travel on Mars.
Scientists are already on the lookout for a rock on the surface of Mars to try out the rover's hammering drill, which sits at the end of the its robotic arm. The tool will be used to drill into a rock and collect the resulting powder.
The Curiosity rover is three months into what NASA hopes will be a two-year mission to find signs of whether the planet has or has ever had the ability to support life.
The rover has already found signs of life on the planet.
In September, the nuclear-powered, SUV-sized super rover found evidence of a "vigorous" thousand-year water flow on the surface of Mars. It was a key discovery because water is one of the key elements needed to support life.
NASA scientists also may be sitting on what they're calling a potentially important discovery.
John Grotzinger, NASA's principal investigator for the Mars rover Curiosity mission, last week told NPR.org that the agency is getting 'interesting' results from the rover's SAM instrument, an onboard chemistry lab.
Grotzinger told NPR that NASA is holding off on discussing the results until the findings are confirmed.
"We're getting data from SAM as we sit here and speak, and the data looks really interesting," Grotzinger told NPR. "This data is gonna be one for the history books."
On Sunday, the rover completed what scientists are calling a touch-and-go rock inspection before turning and driving toward its next target.
Curiosity reached out and examined a rock with its Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer, taking two 10-minute readings of the chemical elements in the rock. The rover then stowed the arm and traveled 83 feet.
It was the first time the rover did this kind of scientific exam and traveled in the same day.
"We have done touches before, and we've done goes before, but this is our first 'touch-and-go' on the same day," said Curiosity Mission Manager Michael Watkins of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
"It is a good sign that the rover team is getting comfortable with more complex operational planning, which will serve us well in the weeks ahead," Watkins added.
This story, "NASA's Mars rover gets Thanksgiving mission" was originally published by Computerworld.

William T Gadd was the enumerator on the 1880 Perry County Arkansas census, and scattered throughout it are notes that he wrote in answer to the health questions asked.
In the town of Perryville, W.T. noted that Charles Myers was afflicted with
rheumatism- contracted in Illinois while on farm, and that he was unable to
bend his knee joint.
Next up is William Holcomb. W.T. notes that he lost his leg by a chronic sore
leg- amputated above the knee joint, but well since amputation.
Matthews lost his forefinger on the right hand in 1873 by a pistol shot.
Poor Mr H.L. Loflin lost his leg by a team running away 18 years ago in Texas.
It was cut off below knee joint, but he uses a peg leg and is in good health.
Jacob Smyers lost his left arm in a cleaning gin while in motion, cut off above
elbow. This happened in 1879 in Alpin, Ar.
Seventeen year old Tenny Clemons had white swelling and lost the use of her
Outside the city limits, there is Henry C Adams, who lost his left little finger
due to a gunshot wound, and Chas Ellison who was wounded during the war
and is on the pension rolls. Next door is Ruben T Goddard, a Mexican war
veteran who lost all his family in a steamboat disaster and is now an object of
charity, homeless and destitute.
John Hynes is paralyzed in his left arm due to a centipede bite in 1860, but he
is able to do ordinary work, while Sarah Adcock is affected in the hip caused
by rheumatism and Milton Hill is subject to spasm or fits since his boyhood, but not as severe as when young.
John Cheek, an orphan, was affected in his spine, caused from exposure,
from ill treatment when he was 14 years old- his parents are dead.
Frederick Fuller was wounded during the war and is on the pension rolls.
And finally, Mary E Creasy, a widow, lost her husband.
He was waylaid and shot by William Watson in 1878, while at work, without
provocation. Watson fled state and is still at large. $100 reward offered.
All of the notes Mr Gadd made are beneficial to particular family researchers.
But I'm especially interested in Mary Creasy, whose husband was waylaid and
murdered. I have a half first cousin, (three times removed) named William
Watson, who disappeared from Perry County after the 1870 census. I've
always wondered what happened to him. His step daughter is enumerated on
the 1880 census with another family, but William and his wife Hulda - I've
never found another trace of them.

Judge upholds Cecil decision on natural gas compressor station
Cecil officials made no mistakes in blocking a natural gas compressor station there, a Washington County judge ruled this week.
The ruling upholds a move by the township's Zoning Hearing Board to reject MarkWest Energy Partners LP's request to put a 72-acre station in the township's light industrial district. The district borders residential areas with homes more than 1,000 feet away, according to the court ruling.
Common Pleas Judge John F. DiSalle issued the ruling Wednesday. He noted that his ruling could be undone and the station could be built if a pending Supreme Court decision allows the state to preempt the local zoning rules that decided the case.

TAMPA, Fla. - Fallout over the controversial documentary Blackfish has now spread from SeaWorld in Orlando to Busch Gardens in Tampa.
Busch Gardens announced on its Facebook page Wednesday night The Beach Boys and Pat Benatar will not perform scheduled concerts at the park coming up later this year. They join nearly a dozen musical acts that cancelled similar performances at SeaWorld in Orlando over the past few months.
Busch Gardens is owned by SeaWorld. The company has come under increasing pressure because of a documentary highlighting the death of SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau in 2010.
SeaWorld has fought back against the protests saying the people behind them are "misinformed." Officials at Busch Gardens and SeaWorld say they're working to find replacement acts for the upcoming concerts.
Meanwhile, Blackfish was not nominated in the Best Documentary category for the Oscars.

Norman Hetherington, the creator of the Mr Squiggle television cartoon character with whom generations of Australian children grew up, has died in Greenwich Hospital in Sydney after several falls in recent times. He was 89.
Mr Squiggle, a moon-dwelling marionette with a pencil for a nose, first appeared on the ABC's Children's TV Club in 1959 as a temporary fill-in but was quickly spun-off into his own program, Mr Squiggle and Friends, which went on to run under various guises for 40 years.
Hetherington's concept for the Mr Squiggle character was simple: he completed ''squiggles'' sent in by young viewers into fully realised drawings and cartoons by connecting lines with his pencil nose. He worked upside down most of the time and when the drawing was completed he would call ''Upside down! Upside down!'' and an assistant would turn the picture the right way up to reveal the completed drawing.
Hetherington did all the voices for the show's puppets, which he created, with the show's script written by his wife, Margaret (nee Purnell), whom he married in 1958.
He was born at Lilyfield in NSW to Frederick and Nellie Hetherington and attended Fort Street High School. When he was 14, his father gave him a copy of Popular Science Monthly, an American magazine that had instructions for making a puppet out of used bicycle inner tubes. This sparked his interest in puppetry, which continued for the rest of his life.
However, he wanted most to be a cartoonist and after high school he enrolled at East Sydney National Art School and in 1938 had his first cartoon published in The Bulletin. However, his career plans were put on hold with the outbreak of World War II the following year and he ended up serving in the 1st Australian Army Entertainment Unit.
After the war, Hetherington soon established himself as a successful freelance cartoonist in Sydney, selling his work to magazines including Man, Man Junior, Army, Humour and Quiz. He signed his work "Heth", written in a Chinese-like jumble. His modus operandi was to approach the best-paying magazine first and continue until he got to the worst-paying with whatever was left of his work.
In 1946 he accepted a job at The Bulletin, where he was allowed to continue his freelance work and where he worked alongside luminaries such as the great artist, illustrator and author Norman Lindsay. Lindsay, in fact, would later give his etching press to Hetherington, who continued to use it almost to the end in the workshop under his house at Mosman.
When he joined The Bulletin, Hetherington was essentially filling a hole left by John Frith, who had departed to become the first full-time cartoonist on The Sydney Morning Herald. When Frith left the Herald to work in Melbourne, he asked Hetherington to again fill the vacancy he was creating. However, Hetherington was advised by the art director at The Bulletin, Ted Scorfield, that if he joined the Herald he would have to abandon his freelance work - not something he wanted to do. So his cartoons continued to appear weekly in The Bulletin and in 1955, when Lucy Black Johnson and Pyke Johnson jnr were gathering cartoons from all over the world for the book Cartoon Treasury, Hetherington was one of the few Australians picked to contribute.
Hetherington was still working for The Bulletin when he attended an ABC TV training school and began his television career in 1956.
For the ABC he joined Annette Onslow to create Nicky and Noodle and another series, Jolly Gene and His Fun Machine, for Channel Seven in 1957.
Mr Squiggle followed in 1959 and over the years it varied from five-minute spots to a 90-minute variety show featuring other performers. The last episode went to air on July 9, 1999.
Hetherington left The Bulletin after the Prior family sold the magazine to Sir Frank Packer's Australian Consolidated Press in November 1960 to concentrate on his work as a puppeteer.
His work in his home workshop was all-consuming. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of puppets created by his agile and inventive mind from such castaways as aerosol cans, flasks and other tubing crowded the space under his house.
He never threw anything away; everything had some use.
He and Margaret received several honours and awards, including a Penguin Award in 1984 and again in 1989 from the Television Society of Australia ''for their outstanding contribution to children's television in Australia''.
In 1990 he was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia ''for service to children's television programs and puppetry'' and in 2005 the University of NSW's College of Fine Arts presented him an award for excellence in art, design and education.
The Australian Cartoonists' Association presented Hetherington with a life membership in 2008 and last year the association presented him with the coveted Jim Russell Award for his contributions.
He received a standing ovation at the presentation, made during the Stanley Awards at Darling Harbour, where many fellow cartoonists acknowledged that they were encouraged to pick up a pencil by virtue of being able to watch Mr Squiggle's antics on television each week.
Hetherington is survived by his wife Margaret, daughter Rebecca and son Stephen.

Has anyone else noticed that the Christmas holiday "season" starts earlier and earlier each year? This year, Walmart had their Christmas displays out by mid-September and many retailers were touting holiday sales in October! I still remember when Black Friday was the "official" kick-off to the holiday shopping season and it was surprising to see Christmas decorations up in mid-November. I keep wondering what the real-world implications of this calendar shift might mean – if anything – for retailers' overall holiday and end-of-year sales? And, ultimately what it means for retail real estate in 2012.
I think that because retailers are still skittish from the recession and cautious about our still-fragile economy, they're doing everything they can to offset wavering consumer confidence and a shaky climate. With a 4.1% year-over-year holiday sales increase in 2010, many are predicting a modest increase for 2011. ShopperTrak is predicting a 3% increase, while the National Retail Federation is estimating a 3.5% uptick. My own ideas are a little more conservative. Between mediocre macroeconomic indicators and ongoing pessimistic media coverage about a possible "double-dip" recession, I'm thinking we may see a flat to 2% boost this holiday season.
While retailers' efforts to expand the holiday shopping window may prompt a little worry about diluting the seasonal marketing power, in my view, the early discounting and promotions seem likely to be a good thing for most retailers, and in turn, retail landlords. The worst-case scenario for retailers has always been having an excess of inventory after the holiday season. That's when they have to sell what's left for less-than-profitable prices just to get rid of it. And, we all know what happens when the retailer isn't profitable. Throughout the recession, though, retailers have gotten pretty good at controlling their inventories, minimizing the chances of seeing rock-bottom end-of-year sales. So, I don't think we'll have the vacancy issues in 2012 that we've had in recent years.
If consumers are looking for specific items, they should really be getting started on their shopping sooner rather than later because of retailers' controlled inventories. We all understand the frustration of finding the perfect gift for a friend or loved one and then discovering it's sold out or unavailable in the right size. Because of this, I think we'll see a real shift in buying patterns this season. It's quite possible that stronger online sales will mean brick-and-mortar locations won't feel quite as busy. The electronics sector, in particular, is already seeing a strong correlation between increased online sales and lower in-store traffic. I think apparel will continue its multi-year trend of relatively poor holiday performance as women continue to make fewer impulse purchases for themselves while shopping for family and friends. What may be surprising is that I think discount retailers will probably be fairly flat this year. In my opinion, they aren't likely to gain many new shoppers because those who were trading down, have already done so. But, I do think luxury will see as high as a 5% increase in sales over last year.

River Countess - Northern Europe: River Countess Cruise Review by Ernie Carlton
Overall Member Rating
River Countess - Northern Europe
Destination: Baltic Sea
Embarkation: Amsterdam
After spending five days in Salisbury, England, to help some of our English friends celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, my wife and I hopped on a Flyby turboprop airliner from Southampton to Amsterdam to board the Uniworld, MV River Princess for a 14 day river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest, Hungary.
We had purchased the cruise at the last minute through an interliner site for $1399 per person plus port charges and taxes. The total cost (including port charges and tax for two people) was a little over $3200. This covered transfers to and from the airports and a number of city tours.
True to their word Uniworld met us at the international airport in Amsterdam and by 1:00pm our luggage and we were in our cabin on the River Princess. Although the cabin was mostly below the waterline of the boat, it had two large windows just above the waterline that made for an unusual look at the river. All the cabins on More the River Princess are the same size (about 154 sq. ft.). The difference in categories and prices is simply the height above water level and the style of windows you have. We found the furnishings, bed linen, towels and robes to be first class all the way.
We quickly made our way to the dining room where a great buffet awaited us. The food was good and plentiful. The wait staff could not do enough for you and they meant it when they said, If there is something you want, just ask.
The afternoon was spent getting familiar with the boat. It was small compared to the 2000 passenger ocean going vessels we were used to. It did have a laundry room with two washers and dryers plus a place for ironing clothes. It had a nice patio with 24 hours tea and coffee service, a well-stocked library/computer room and a good size show lounge. There was a small fitness room but with all the walking tours, additional exercise was not needed. The top of the boat had a huge sun deck, which was partially covered in case of bad weather. There was no pool or hot tub but we thought we could rough it for two weeks. A hot tub would have been nice after a day of sightseeing. The Captain, hotel staff and crew were just as friendly as the wait staff and the passengers got to know them all during the cruise.
There was only one open seating for all passengers and the spacious dining was pleasant and not the least bit noisy. The first night dinner was a time for testing the wait staff. I soon found out that the menu was limited. There was a choice of three main courses and always consisted of one meat, one fish dish, and one vegetarian choice. Since I am a beef eater, I only ordered from the menu three of the fourteen nights we were on the cruise. The rest of the time I ordered steak that they were happy to provide.
The desserts were the best I have ever had on a cruise. The little gal who did the pastries made apple straddle that one could die for. The rest of the pies, cakes, strudels and other desserts were done equally well. I must say, however, that this trip was the first time that I have ever eaten walnut ice cream topped with dried apricots and prunes.
The first night the Captain, Hotel Manager, and Cruise Manager briefed us. We knew exactly what to do in case of an emergency (if the boat sank, go to the top deck and wait). The boat was taller than the river was deep. The cruise manager, Maddy, told us what to expect the next day, a routine that happened every evening before dinner. The hotel manager covered the procedure of keeping track of the passengers and all other related procedures.
Our musician, Matthew, played the piano for a couple of hours after dinner for those of us who could stay awake after a long day.
On day two we arrived in Cologne. After a walking tour we had some free time to see the city on our own. We had been to Cologne in 1960 and to say the least, it had changed. The only thing we recognized was the cathedral. We soon learned the ABC's of river cruising. Another Bloody _______. You fill in the blank with castle, cathedral, city, church or canal lock. After walking about the shops and bars for a hour or so, it was back on the boat for Maddy's briefing for the next day, dinner, and more piano music by Matthew.
The next day we cruised through the Rhine Gorge that was one of the highlights of the cruise. Passing castle after castle we spotted the Lorelei just before we arrived in Rudesheim. Our tour in Rudesheim was of the Siegfried's Mechanical Musikkabinett. The private collection of working mechanical music makers (some of them filled an entire room) is outstanding. Anyone who travels to Rudesheim should tour the collection. We were back on boat by six but to tired to take the optional Rudesheim dinner and entertainment tour that night. Our new friends spoke highly of the tour.
The next day we toured Heidelberg, another bloody castle. We had been there in 1960 and the castle had not changed, however, there were so many tour groups around that it was hard to take a picture without getting a tour group in the picture. There were also more shops and restaurants ready and willing to separate the tourists from their money. We had lunch at a local restaurant that served typical German food and it was surprisingly good. Not what I expected, having been in Germany a number of times.
Miltenberg in the morning and Wertheim in the afternoon of day five saw us taking ABC tours. Tour guides gave us a little history and a lot of legends about the towns but who knows what to believe. I did not know that the Crusaders had brought so many religious relics back through Germany and dropped them off at every little town on the Rhine.
The next stop was Karlstadt. In the morning before we stopped at Karlstadt, Karl Heinz, a guest lecturer from Wurzburg, lectured on Architectural Styles that we would see in cities on the cruise. After lunch aboard the boat, we debarked in Karstadt for the bus ride to Wurzburg where we had a walking tour of the Prince Bishop's Palace. The palace was awesome. Although the palace had been largely destroyed during WWII, it had been restored in all of its grandeur. If anyone ever visits Wurzburg, you must take a tour of the Prince Bishop's Palace and do not miss the chapel.
Monday, October 2nd started out overcast with a 60% chance of rain forecasted. It was one optional tour that we really wanted to take. It was to Rothenburg, the walled city. Here again, a large part of the city had been destroyed during WWII but had been restored beautifully. A walk around the wall revealed a number of plaques with names with 1m, 2m, or 3m on them. These people were responsible for restoring the wall, meter by meter. The rain held off and the sun showed Rothenburg in all of its beauty. The optional tour was well worth the extra $82 pp it cost.
At Bamberg, the next stop, the rain finally caught up with us. However, a stroll downtown in the rain was worth the discomfort. The big attraction was the town hall in the middle of the river. The market might have been a great place to shop but most of the booths closed early because of the rain.
The canal between Bamberg and Nuremberg was extremely interesting. We went under bridges where we had to flatten all the lounges on the sun deck in order to make it under the bridges. Even the wheelhouse was lowered. We would lie on our backs to take pictures of the bottom of the bridges. At mile markers 53.7, 61.9, 79, and 87.1 the canal went over roads and rivers. It was unusual to see cars and trucks as well as boats going under your own riverboat.
We declined to take the optional tour of Nuremberg when we found out that we would not be able to tour the Palace of Justice where the Nuremberg trials were held after WWII. Instead we enjoyed just cruising down the river taking pictures of the beautiful countryside. The next stop was Regensburg, where we had two hours of free time before returning to the boat. One hour was plenty of time. It was a quaint little town but by this time we had had enough of quaint little towns.
It was Friday so we must be in Passau. Another quaint little town, however, this one had a big cathedral with the world's largest pipe organ. Uniworld provided us with free tickets to an organ concert and it was well worth the price of the tickets. I think that the concert was designed to display the ability of the organ and organist rather than to please the concertgoers.
The next morning we arrived in Melk and took a bus to the Abbey. Although we had been there before, it had changed. Modern art was everywhere to be seen. Gift shops and restaurants were everywhere. What had been a beautiful Abbey was had been restored and renovated but some of the charm was missing. Maybe it was the busloads of tourists that made it feel like a tourist trap rather than a piece of history.
Vienna was Vienna. What a beautiful city. Just to walk about and look at a piece of living history was well worth the cost of the entire cruise. We visited some old haunts and relished the new look of old landmarks. The black soot, for the most part, was gone and the buildings gleamed white in the sunlight. Part of the restaurant that we had enjoyed in our last visit in 1997 was now a sports bar but enough of the old remained that is was recognizable. We could have spent much more time in Vienna and the 7 ½ hours allotted by Uniworld passed quickly.
We arrived in Budapest the next day and docked on the Pest side. We took a shuttle boat to the Buda side. Here again 7 hours was not enough time to see all the wonders of Budapest. I suggest that if you have not been to Budapest and want to take a river cruise that you take the three-day extension that Uniworld offers, buy a transportation pass, and see the city on your own. It is a beautiful city and deserves more than a few hours.
A Hungarian Operetta and Folklore Performance highlighted our last night on board in the lounge. The performers were professional and the program was outstanding.
Uniworld did an outstanding job of organizing the cruise and tours. This has to be near the top of all the cruises I have ever been on and another river cruise is definitely something I would want to do again. Bucharest to the Black Sea comes to mind.
Debarkation was quick and uneventful. The Uniworld bus took us to the Budapest International airport where we Delta 99 direct to New York JFK International where we took a flight straight to Tampa. Less

Why can't I refund...
Because boosts are consumables, we do not offer any refunds for this item.
Account Transfers
Just like boosts, account transfers are also considered a consumable item. Once you purchase an account transfer, your account will be automatically moved to the desired region. Just like boosts, because it is a consumable item, we will not be able to offer any refunds for account transfers.
We now have flexible cost bundles that automatically adjust their price based on the content you already own. Bundles have a minimum cost, but pricing is otherwise flexible.
LCS Summoner Icons
When you purchase a team icon, 20% of the price goes directly to that team and the other 80% supports esports (prizes, streaming, events, etc.).
Promotional Items
Promotional items that you received for free, such as a skin card, are not eligible for refund through the token refund system, as they were unlocked rather than purchased.

We do NOT offer refunds for any visual or gameplay updates for champions. For more information about this policy, please check out our Champion Update Schedule article.
Refunds for Compromised Accounts
Once the account is recovered, we will refund all purchases made while your account was compromised.

Tel Aviv (Jun. 30)
Based on samples of voting from 30 "dummy" polling booths throughout Israel, the projected vote as Israel's polling booths closed at 10 p.m. (Israel time) tonight was 48 to 49 seats for Shimon Peres' Labor Party, and 47 for Premier Menachem Begin's governing Likud coalition.
But most commentators said that, if the projections remain unchanged when the official vote counting is completed, the Labor Party probably will not be able to form a new coalition government but Likud may just be able to form a narrow coalition which they said would be highly unstable.
The speculation on a continued Likud government was that Begin might be able to form a slender coalition with the religious parties, plus former Foreign and Defense Minister Moshe Dayan's Telem, which won one vote; and Geula Cohen's Tehiya, which won two seats.
The Telem and the Tehiya lists would not give much stability to a new Likud coalition because Dayan and Cohen do not support Begin on all issues, the observers said.
The immediate commentators' reaction is that Peres cannot form a coalition and Begin can form only a very unstable coalition and that Israel may therefore face new elections within a few months.
Based on the projected results, the National Religious party won six seats, a sharp drop; Agudath Israel, five seats, Poalei Agudath Israel won one; Shinui won one seat; the Rakah Communists won between four and five seats; Aharon Abu Hotzeira's Tami list won two; the Shulamith Aloni's Civil Rights party won one seat. Sheli may have won one seat.
