TORONTO To mark the closing weekend of the Luminato Toronto Festival of Arts + Creativity, event sponsor Telus invited 430 clients and business partners to a cocktail reception Friday at Harbourfront Centre, the site of a special Cirque du Soleil performance that was commissioned for the 2009 festival. Chitra Anand, communications director for Telus, worked with 43degrees Design Collective to create two event spaces overlooking a pond on the waterfront where Cirque performed at 7:30 p.m.
"Basically what we wanted to do was recreate the space and the environments [being used in the Cirque performance]. The whole concept is about natural and urban settings, which is very much on brand for Telus," Anand said.
The Cirque performance centred around two communities that formed on the waterfront on Friday night—one, called Na, representing the natural world and the other, Ban, representing the urban community. The two tribes performed at opposite ends of the waterfront, with Na taking to the pond at Harbourfront Centre and Ban setting up camp at the Music Garden further west. The two groups performed several shows in various locations along the waterfront throughout the weekend and unified at HTO Park for one final performance on Sunday night.
To honour that performance, 43degrees created indoor and outdoor spaces inspired by the two groups. The design company filled the indoor urban setting with white furnishings from Contemporary Furniture Rentals, including long communal tables. "We want to allow for an environment that is interactive. We want our business partners to meet each other," Anand said. Purple arrangements from Forget Me Not Flowers topped tables; Luanda Jones performed on stage; and a large screen above the food station displayed architectural images.
A purple carpet—a common element at Telus events—ran the length of the walkway that connected the indoor space with the outdoor tent, where three food stations and a bar surrounded a display of greenery and an ice sculpture of a flock of Canada geese. "In the tent we have leaves and a soft Zen feel," Anand said. "We used our own imagery and it looks amazing." Images of leaves and butterflies, commonly seen in Telus ads, hung from clotheslines behind the food stations.
Anand called on Liberty Grand Catering to cater the event. Servers offered dishes like tandoori chicken kebabs, steak frites, and crispy jumbo tiger prawns at food stations throughout the venue. Passed hors d'oeuvres included items like shitake mushroom and asparagus dynamite rolls, mini sirloin burgers with roasted onion confit, arugula, and garlic aioli, and hoisin-braised short rib mini shepherd's pie topped with scallion mash.

Khalid Mahmood said the radicalisation of young British men is a problem that has steadily grown in recent years and could be much more serious than previously thought.
The Birmingham MP's comments suggest the number of would-be jihadists is much greater than ACPO anti-terrorism chief Sir Peter Fahy's estimate of 500 - the highest figure previously mentioned.
Foreign Secretary William Hague has claimed that around 400 young British men had travelled to the region, where John Kerry has held talks about the ISIS offensive with Iraq's prime minister.
Mr Mahmood told Sky News: "I imagine 1,500 certainly would be the lower end. If you look across the whole of the country, there's been a number of people going across.
"Originally you had the British Syrians settled here who wanted to go back and play a part, then you had the Kurdish community, then almost two years ago you had the young British Muslim community going across - so if you add all that up you've got serious figures that we need to look at.
"Those will come back - certainly more than we are saying at the moment - and we do need to look at that.
"Some of them go out there for nine months, some go out there for a year, some will just go out for six months or so.
"So we need to look at exactly how this is happening, what our border controls are like and we really need to bolster those border controls in order to ensure that we see the people coming through and deal with them."
David Cameron said his counter-extremism task force was working to get the "poisonous" narrative out of schools, universities and prisons.
He added: "We know that the end point of this extremist narrative can mean people dead on our own streets."
The problem of radicalisation was highlighted when two Cardiff students appeared in a propaganda video for ISIS posted on YouTube.
Police and the local Muslim community are working to establish how Reyaad Khan, 20, Nasser Muthana, also 20, and his brother Aseel, 17, were lured to join extremists fighting in Syria and Iraq.
Video has emerged of notorious Saudi cleric Mohammed al Arifi preaching at Cardiff's Al Manar mosque, which the trio attended before leaving home to join the insurgency.
Mr al Arifi is banned from Switzerland for his extremist views - but has visited the UK several times.
Trustees at the mosque have suggested the young men may have been radicalised online, rather than by members of Cardiff's Muslim community.
Sheikh Zane Abdo, Imam of the South Wales Islamic Centre, told Sky News he had turned down an offer from Mr al Arifi to preach at his mosque.
He said he knew the Muthana brothers but they did not attend his mosque, where he has warned against travelling to fight in Iraq and Syria since he heard they had left home.
Sheikh Abdo said the men may have been radicalised via the internet, but that they must have been groomed and received material support to join the conflict in the Middle East.
He told Sky: "How does a 16-year-old, in the middle of his GCSEs leave Cardiff and head across the world to go and fight? You can't learn that on Facebook or YouTube or Twitter.
"These are intelligent boys. People would have to have sat, speak to them - argument and counter-argument - to convince them."
The mother of Reyaad Khan, one of the men who appeared in the ISIS video, has pleaded with her son to return home in an emotional interview with Sky News.

Chris Blackwell Tweets About Hearing U2's New Album
May 27, 2013
U2's new material sounds #betterthanever according to Island Records founder Chris Blackwell. He apparently got to hear at least some, if not all, of U2's new album late last week at Electric Lady Studios in New York City. (Blackwell referred to it as "electric lady land," but the studio's official name is Electric Lady Studios.) He ended his tweet with the hashtag #betterthanever.
After he tweeted, a number of fans retweeted him and ... as should be expected in social media ... it spread far and wide. It's already been reposted on several websites and is the subject of much discussion in our forum. All of which makes Blackwell's decision to delete his tweet kinda funny. For those who missed it, here's our retweet of it from Sunday morning.
Blackwell's tweet was posted on Saturday, which means he probably got to hear the new songs on Friday night.

Lawrie helps launch Victoria's Secret line
Lawrie helps launch Victoria's Secret line
The Victoria's Secret PINK MLB Collection, which was originally launched in March 2010, will feature all 30 teams and offer an exclusive assortment of co-branded merchandise.
In addition to PINK's highly recognizable brand iconography, the name and logo of the Blue Jays is featured on an assortment of clothing. Hosk didn't hesitate when asked if the new line would resonate well with fans.
"Absolutely," Hosk said during her appearance at the PINK store. "When we were at the Miami [Marlins] game, we saw so many girls rocking the Miami T-shirts and gear and I think this looks great -- the Blue Jays gear looks fantastic."
Hosk considers herself a baseball fan and says she would proudly represent the new line at a game.
"Yeah for sure," Hosk said when asked if she would wear the clothing herself. "When you go to a game, you want to look cute."
Lawrie was more than willing to participate in this event and joked that he raised his hand in the air to offer when he originally heard about it. The popular Canadian is a fan favorite among his fellow Canucks and saw this is as a way to give back.
Clearly the fans were looking forward to it also, as there was a line wrapped around the corner of the store to have a meet-and-greet with Lawrie and Hosk.
"This is a good chance to promote Major League Baseball," Lawrie said. "It's good to be here and see the fans and launch a new line of stuff."
The clothing line will be available at the Blue Jays Shop at Rogers Centre, too, and for Lauren Verrusio, manager of business public relations for MLB, the clothing line is a major upgrade compared to the apparel that used to be geared towards women.
"Years ago, the idea was 'pink it and shrink it,' and it was assumed that's what the females wanted to wear," Verrusio said, referring to tiny, pink outfits. "But girls want to come out to the games in ball caps and hoodies and look cool in a fashionable way and be comfortable. So now there is actual gear designed for women to wear to a baseball game."
The apparel may have just came to Toronto, but this initiative has been in the works for years and there was a specific reason why MLB chose to cater directly to the female demographic.
"Our licensing department and Victoria's Secret PINK came together a couple years ago to produce this co-branded line," Verrusio said. "We are the first major league (out of the big four North American Sports) to do something with Victoria's Secret PINK. Now with the Blue Jays, we are with all 30 teams, which is fantastic.
"This line does very well -- 45 percent of our fan base are females. So it's fantastic to have a clothing line that speaks directly to them."

There are morgues that have a more upbeat atmosphere than that which could be found in the Maple Leafs dressing room last night.
Pavel Kubina could barely speak thanks to the stitches that sealed the deep gash under his nose.
Bryan McCabe hobbled around with a swollen right foot, the after effect of being nailed by a shot.
Darcy Tucker wore a bitter scowl on his face, an understandable reaction after being asked if he was "disappointed" for the umpteenth time.
This was not the way the Leafs had hoped to welcome captain Mats Sundin back into the fold.
After lighting up the Washington Capitals for seven goals just 24 hours earlier, the Leafs were supposed to get a boost from the return of their captain after a seven-game absence with a slightly torn ligament in his right elbow.
But Paul Maurice's moribund team gave Sundin little support last night, dropping a 3-1 decision to the visiting Boston Bruins in front of a jeering capacity crowd.
Sundin certainly did his part, scoring his ninth goal of the season and logging 18 minutes 46 seconds of ice time.
But where were his teammates to help him?
Those Leafs who weren't battered and bruised in the trainers' room found themselves beaten up on the scoreboard by a Bruins team that wanted it more.
"We simply played too soft, but it had nothing to do with Mats," Tucker said. "Who wouldn't want a guy like that back in the mix?"
Tucker scoffed at suggestions -- and rightly so -- that Sundin's insertion into the lineup disrupted the chemistry of a team that went 4-2-1 without its captain.
"Don't even go there," he said. "That's (absurd)."
For his part, Sundin admitted to having some rust because of the layoff.
"It felt like I hadn't played in three weeks," said Sundin, who was injured Nov. 6.
"My arm actually felt great but the timing wasn't there.It is going to take a few games but it should get better. The big thing is getting back to the tempo out there."
First-period goals by Petr Tenkrat and Marc Savard held up until 12:04 of the final frame when Sundin narrowed the gap to 2-1. But any hopes of a Toronto comeback were stamped out when former Leaf Brad Boyes delivered the knockout blow at 15:44.
Maurice, at wits end to find an offensive combination that consistently clicked, juggled his lines all night and benched Alex Steen -- he of the one goal this season -- in the third period.
McCabe shook off the pain and was able to return to the game after missing just one shift. Kubina was not as fortunate.
Playing just his ninth game of the season, the big defenceman took a deflected puck in the mouth in the second and lay on the trainers' table until late in the third. He was able to come back for one last shift and said he "should be okay" for the rematch with Boston Tuesday.
"One or two (teeth) were pushed back very far," he said. "They pushed them back into place. They did a good job. Hopefully they stay.
"It has been a rough start for me. Injuries are part of the game, but hopefully I'm done with them."
C Forwards: Yes, Bruins goalie Tim Thomas was good.But the Leafs needed to be better at burying chances when they got them.
C Defence: The Bruins took advantage of the few miscues commited by the Toronto blue-line corps.
B Goaltending: Probably would like to have Boston's third goal back, a Brad Boyes shot that squeezed through his pads.

As MIF sets out its stall, we find that this year it's not all about the artists – the city's hidden spaces make a guest appearance too.
"This is very important because it is about Manchester's past and Manchester's future," said Maxine Peake at today's launch of Manchester International Festival. Standing on a stage set within the darkened, industrial surrounds of the Campfield Market Hall, and talking about her upcoming performance of Masque of Anarchy, a poem that festival organisers describe as "Britain's greatest political poem", Maxine Peake set the tone for a festival that feels as if it has somehow come of age.
"Manchester for me is a place steeped in a radical and political history," said Peake. "And as we go into a dark place politically it is good to reflect on the past and how we might move forward." What Maxine Peake was alluding to was the Peterloo Massacre, whose 200th anniversary (in 2019) is fast approaching. For an event that was so important in Britain's march towards democracy, Peterloo is surprisingly little known. But as Peake said: "What happened at Peterloo should never be forgotten," particularly, she noted, in the context of the marches and protests that have become commonplace over the past few years.
It's not just about political angst. It's about spaces that are in some ways as exciting as the artists
But Manchester International Festival is not all about political angst. It is about hidden spaces – buildings and venues that are in some ways as exciting as the artists: the Mayfield Depot, for example, a vast, derelict station just behind Piccadilly, or the Albert Hall, the former Brannigans pub that contains a chapel unseen for decades. The Whitworth gallery is also being pressed into action – Nikhil Chopra will perform for 65 hours straight within the shell of the gallery's yet-to-be-built extension.
And of course the festival is about the artists, the international musicians, creatives and performers who create work for and of the city: Kenneth Branagh, Adam Curtis with Massive Attack (an event that Curtis promises will be "beautiful, enchanting, frightening"), Tino Sehgal, riding high after last year's Turbine Hall installation at Tate Modern, Hans Ulrich Obrist, John Baldessari, Goldfrapp performing with the RNCM's string orchestra, Matthew Barney, Willem Defoe, John Tavener working with an all-female choir, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Manchester's electro darlings, Delphic… the list stretches on.
But back to the idea of a festival that has come of age. There is no doubt that this year's Manchester International Festival has a more muted feel. The venues chosen – derelict buildings, abandoned industrial mills – purposely allow us to rediscover not only the city but its dark, turbulent and defiantly political history. Political too were festival director Alex Poot's closing comments. "We are in such difficult times," he said. "I think for me the arts are more important than ever before, and to cut the heart out of a society is not the way to do it."
Today's launch was not just about the celebrity artists and our own, barely-contained excitement. It was about the start of a festival of clever, witty, poignant, sometimes difficult, other times kick-your-heels delightful, performance that cuts to the chase. It reminds us that great art is not a "nice to have". We've said it before and we will say it again: we need ideas, invention and innovation to get us out of the mess that we are collectively in. We need big ideas and crazy collaborations. We need people coming to our city, filling its streets with energy and enthusiasm. We need sparks and lights. We need great art. And in Manchester this summer, we will have exactly that.
Can you imagine what Armageddon smells like? Want to learn how to grow your own hormones? Read on for this month's top pick of exhibitions.

Economic and structural determinants of the demand for public transport: an analysis on a panel of French urban areas using shrinkage estimators
This paper presents a panel data analysis of annual time series from 1975 to 1995 for 62 urban areas in France. It compares the results obtained from a conventional fixed-effects (FE) model with a Bayesian approach (shrinkage estimators), which allows the computation of elasticities for each urban area. First, considering only three economic determinants (vehicle km, income and price), we show the sensitivity of the estimates to the time period used for the estimation. On the basis of these models, public transport appears as an "inferior good" (i.e. its income elasticity is negative). By combining economic determinants with structural determinants (i.e. population ageing, urban sprawl and growing car ownership) synthesized in a single indicator, we show that this 'income effect' is in fact mainly a "motorization effect". The competition with the automobile also appears through the cross-elasticity to the fuel price. Finally, the impact of supply is decomposed into a dominant effect of quantity (seats kilometres), and the weaker effects of quality (frequency and density of network). The major conclusion is that the downward trend in public transport patronage is mainly due to increasing car ownership, and that this effect will be less and less important over time since the growth of the car stock is decelerating. In addition, the use of public transport is quite sensitive to the volume supplied and to its price, which makes the financial equilibrium of this industry problematic.

Nice review. Just the band name and the album title make this already generic sounding and after reading your review, first impressions really did not change.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Ram Leela has been generating a lot of buzz eversince its trailer was released last week. The song Tattad Tattad from the movie, is out in which Ranveer Singh is shirtless and showing off his chiseled greek-god-ish body. Ranveer Singh says that he was inspired by a picture of Hrithik Roshan training for Krrish 3 and contacted his trainer, Kris Gethin. But as Kris was busy training Hrithik, he made his friend, Llyod Stevens, fly down from U.K to train Ranveer Singh for Ram Leela.
The 28 year old actor who made his debut with the movie Band Baaja Baaraat, worked really hard for his well toned body and shares his experience. In an interview with a leading newspaper, Ranveer said "The food which I ate was tasteless, saltless and raw. My trainer used to monitor everything I ate or drank. My diet was limited to eating fish, brocolli and turkey. Infact, the turkey used to be cooked in only 1tbsp oil and I was not allowed to have rice or rotis. I used to workout at five in the morning, mostly cardio to burn up the excess fat and then again at seven in the evening for one more hour. I would carry my food to the set where I would heat it and eat it. The process is called Drastic Transformation Programme. The biggest obstacle was to resist the temptation of chocolate as I love sweets and the biggest help was that I don't drink."
Ranveer is looking terrific in the song and is obviously happy with the results he has achieved with all the hard work. He says workout feels good but people end up obsessing about their bodies; and he doesn't want to do that. He says he's a little relaxed now and eating good food to maintain the 75kgs that he is. He is even confident that he can get back his shirtless body after two weeks of workout. Ram Leela directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, starring Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone is slated to hit the theaters on 15th November.d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);

foot drop?

Re: foot drop?
I can sure understand about the swelling and shoes too big for the other foot. Been through the same thing from the hip surgery. Stayed in a compression stocking for about five months! Hated the thing. Finally my swelling is down to a minimum. In the beginning I actually bought a cheap pair of tennis shoes that were mismatched and on sale. Believe it or not they were two different sizes and worked perfect for my messed up foot problem. I also understand the costly shoes, same here with my Saucony brand, but have found them cheaper on.....you guessed it, Ebay.
Love the ace bandage invention. It makes me think a bit about my ankle brace, with the second piece fitting under the shoe lace. Apparently the more help a person needs, they position the strap piece lower into the shoe laces. As a person steps, it lifts the forefoot. Oh me, bet you were barefoot a great deal, always in sandals. Putting on a lace up shoe is tiresome and time consuming!
Same here. I've been on an Anthem Blue Cross Advantage plan for a couple years now. It is a Regional PPO. Hah, thanks to obama wanting help funding obamacare, my plan has now been dropped! I am sick! It has also hit folks in Ohio and another state or two I can't recall. Now I've got to start over. I pray it doesn't happen in your area. Hey, as you say, "not your problem". Get all you can from the therapy outfit, their help is invaluable.
My nerve damage is also from the back, where the nerves come out from the spine, best I can figure. That's why if the nerve is ever going to heal at it's slow process, it will take a year or more. Doctors have told me there is nothing they can do to heal a nerve, the nerve has to heal itself......if it will. That's hugely upsetting about the chiro, oh dang! I've thought about trying one, but it's costly and not sure it would help in my case.
My nerve pill is huge as well. Mine can be broke in half, which is helpful at times. Please let me know if you can get more Lortab, they are extremely helpful to me except for the wretched side-effect of constipation. At the time of my hip surgery, I was taking 10 mg every four hours.....even that was not enough for all my pain. My foot would have spasms, and shooting pain out the nails! Thank goodness things are slowly better in the nerve pain department. The hip surgery did help a great deal; except for the drop foot insanity!

Remember this the next time you have to terminate an employee: If you plan to prepare a post-discharge summary, don't succumb to the temptation to add new reasons to justify the firing. Post-discharge memos should simply describe the decision and how you carried it out, not look like an attempt to justify a decision made earlier.
Note: If you later discover additional reasons for firing the employee, go ahead and record them. But carefully note the circumstances and the date when you added the additional rationale.
Recent case: Richard Kremp worked for Wachovia Bank until he was fired at age 47. He sued, alleging age discrimination. At the time he was terminated, Wachovia told him he was being fired for refusing to cooperate with an investigation into alleged mishandling of accounts.
As the suit proceeded, an internal memo surfaced that had been written by a supervisor several hours after Kremp was fired. It gave details on the reasons for the termination, including specific findings about the investigation that indicated Kremp may have manipulated some accounts to show he was more productive than he really was.
Kremp said the memo was proof the bank had manufactured additional reasons to cover up the real reason—age discrimination.
The court disagreed. It said the memo merely provided details on the discharge decision and didn't add new reasons. The case was dismissed. (Kremp v. Wachovia Bank, No. 09-2847, DC NJ, 2010)

Dijkstra Algorithm for Feeder Routing of Radial Distribution System
This paper proposes the application of Dijkstra algorithm for feeder routing of radial distribution system. A complete network of available routes is considered and the optimization goal is to find the routes that provide the minimal total annual cost, which is obtained by the proposed algorithm. Distribution system planning mainly concentrates upon minimizing the total annual cost, which is the summation of recovery cost, energy loss cost and undelivered energy loss cost taking in account all the constraints. The feasibility of proposed algorithm is applied on 25 nodes distribution network.

Entering the Conduct of the Bodhisattvas
Text Section 307
Most people in Tibet have an affinity toward Mahāyāna. They aspire to reach enlightenment; they aspire to become buddhas. In addition, at the time of Khenpo Kunpal, most Tibetans had received empowerments and thus had taken the refuge and bodhisattva precepts. Anyone who has developed bodhicitta has become an object of respect and worthy of offerings from all beings and gods. Such people will eventually become buddhas in the future.
Therefore, Khenpo Kunpal says one should treat all people with respect, confess the slander and disrespect one previously committed, and promise to abstain from similar negativities in the future. Everyone should be treated with pure perception and as an object of refuge.
In the sūtra context, training in pure perception [dag snang] means thinking that all sentient beings are bodhisattvas and, therefore, treating them with respect and kindness.
As it is said:
Whenever I detect flaws in others
May I look at my own mistakes.
May I recognize my own mistakes and
Practice pure perception.
gzhan gyi skyon la mthong ba'i tshe
rang gi skyon la mthong bar shog
rang skyon rang gis mthong ba dang
dag pa'i snang ba sgyur bar shog
If you perceive flaws and mistakes in someone, check carefully where your own negative thought and judgement about that person are coming from. A pure mind cannot see flaws in others. A buddha would never judge any being to be evil. A buddha will perceive beings as being caught up in their own bad dreams. He perceives the beings as well as their negative dreams, and he perceives them both as non-existing illusions. At the same time, he continues to perceive beings themselves as pure.
The perception [mthong snang] of a buddha and the knowledge [ha go ba] of a buddha do differ. Although a buddha has no impure perception, he recognizes beings' impure perceptions. While knowing all perceptions of others, he himself is free from all impure perception [gzhan ngo'i snang ba thams cad mkhyen na yang rang ngo la ma dag pa'i snang ba med].
Thus, the purity of one's perception depends on the purity of one's own mind. A pure mind has pure perception. For example, it is said that pretas perceive water as consisting of pus and blood, gods perceive water as nectar, while human beings perceive water as water.
Our impure perceptions of the world are a magical display of our ignorance [ma rig pa'i cho 'phrul]. Based on this ignorance, various reactions such as likes and dislikes manifest. We are like people with an eye disease that causes them to perceive a white conch to be yellow.
We should not try to change the conch but rather find the cure for the affliction. The cure is to train our minds in bodhicitta and pure perception. The basis for pure perception is the fact that all beings actually are primordially pure [ye nas dag pa], primordially buddhas [nas nas sangs rgyas].

Donald Trump has big dreams for the recently acquired Old Post Office Building on Pennsylvania Avenue.
"It's a magnificent building," he told News4 in an interview, "and I've done magnificent buildings before. I think this has the chance to be one of the great hotels of the world, if not the best."
Plans are to convert the second-largest structure in the District after the Washington Monument into a 250-room luxury hotel.
Trump emerged from a pack of suitors hoping to develop the former Post Office headquarters, which dates back to the late 19th century.
The footprint of the real estate developer and reality TV personality has steadily grown in the DMV area over the past few years. Last April, he bought a troubled Charlottesville vineyard at a foreclosure auction. In 2009, he bought the Lowes Island Golf Club in Sterling, Va., and renamed it Trump National.
Sitting down with News4 recently, he said the golf course and the new hotel will both benefit from some Trump-brand synergy.
"I have a great club right outside of Washington, in Loudoun County," he said. "I have a golf course; it's actually two golf courses. You add that to it, and I think it's really going to give it a big boost."
Trump's real estate group is spending $200 million on renovations for the Old Post Office Building. Construction is expected to run from 2014 to 2016.
When everything's done, the Old Post office will be renamed Trump International Hotel.
Trump said he hopes once construction is complete, his new hotel will rank among the city's top landmarks. "People in Washington will be very very proud," he said. "I think people in the nation will be very very proud."


text: Greetings, everyone. My name is Pam and I've been lurking these forums for quite a long time whenever I had a question or started a new adventure. Great bunch of people combining knowledge and kindness, is what I see. I'm a very newly retired chef. I've been smoking and curing meats for years, but there are always new things to learn, right? Currently, I have a Charbroil grill/smoker, a vertical propane smoker, a little bullet-style smoker and a Little Chief. I also have the A-MAZE-N 5x8 box which I am using at this moment to smoke some jalapeno-cheese snack sticks. My husband is in process of building a nice sized smoke box that will be large enough to hold a whole ham. I'm hoping he's done this weekend (I'm taking pictures ) My brother owns a distillery here in town and has been raising a pig that was fed only local whisky grains and left-over milk. It's been butchered and I'm waiting to get my hands on it. My portion of his "job" is all the curing and smoking I can do. I can't wait! My curing chamber is ready to go and so am I!! Anyway, it's good to finally be "legit" and join this group. I've been absorbing all the smoker build pictures and advice. You guys sure do some amazing things! Pam

VATICAN CITY, Dec. 24 (UPI) -- Pope Benedict XVI began his eighth Christmas since his election by participating in unveiling the Nativity scene in Vatican City's St. Peter's Square.
The Pope illuminated the "Light of Peace" on this year's display from the window of his apartment, after it was revealed to the public Monday.
The ceremony will be followed by his celebration of the annual Christmas Eve mass in St. Peter's Basilica, and Christmas Day he will deliver his Christmas message and offer the "Urbi et Orbi" ("To the City of Rome and to the World") blessing from St. Peter's central balcony, the Italian news agency ANSA reported Monday.

Powerful Women, Powerful Message
In the past century, women fought for such basics as the right to vote, own land, and establish credit. Then, women struggled for a seat at the tables of power and fame--from the corporate boardrooms and the halls of Congress to the space shuttle and the tennis court.
Today, the women's movement is in a new, complex phase. Women have slowly ascended to leadership roles in all sectors of the economy, albeit in small numbers. Each woman who makes it to the top of her field is usually alone once she gets there. But because the fields and agendas are so diverse, no one simple message resonates across the board.
To hash out a list of issues that every woman can rally around--and get 150 high-level women from the public, private, and nonprofit worlds to join forces--is what sparked the first Women's National Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C., in early May. The organizers were Heidi Miller, the newly appointed chief financial officer of Banc One, and Marie Wilson, president of the non-profit New York-based White House Project, which fosters women in leadership roles. Despite the attendees' prominence in their own fields, many were meeting each other for the first time. The goal, said Miller, is "to merge our messages and raise our voices together so that all women can move forward."
Many of the issues raised were familiar, from promoting pay equity and improving child care to preventing violence and getting more women on corporate boards. However, several ideas stood out for their originality and their relevance to a wide range of women.
-- VISIBILITY. Women have achieved success in most areas, but few outside their fields know who they are. This point was emphasized in a White House Project study that was completed last June and updated after September 11. It found that male guests outnumber female guests on Sunday morning talk shows, such as Face the Nation and Meet the Press, by as much as 13 to 1. The post-September 11 results were especially disheartening when you consider that women head the top three Senate subcommittees dealing with terrorism. "These programs set the political agenda as well as show Americans who the important leaders are," said Wilson. To increase the visibility of important women, participants decided to create a national electronic Rolodex of female experts in all areas and send it to media outlets.
-- MENTORING. This has been a buzzword in Corporate America for years. But in a new twist, instead of relying on one-to-one relationships between mentors and charges, conference-goers plan to assemble a mentoring network made up of experts who can provide support at all stages of a woman's career. For example, a stay-at-home mother who is preparing to reenter the workforce can tap a recruitment specialist for help with her résumé or interviewing skills. An entrepreneur seeking capital can call upon an angel investor for leads. Those needing help would send an e-mail to an Internet message board, and the coordinator would respond with a referral to an individual on the mentor list.
-- ALLIANCES. Just as women from diverse fields need to be talking and cooperating, it is equally important to enlist a broad base of men who can help. In an attempt to move beyond corporate diversity programs, participants want to promote private gatherings outside the office where top executives of both genders can offer their perspectives on how to advance women. These gatherings would use a high-profile host, such as feminist Gloria Steinem or Alexandra Lebenthal, president of the Lebenthal & Co. municipal bond firm, as a draw. They would be similar to the successful Women's Campaign Fund (WCF) dinners, where groups of influential people get together to support female political candidates. At a recent WCF dinner, I sat next to former Federal Reserve Chairman and Enron fix-it man Paul A. Volcker.
It may be hard to define the next phase of the women's movement. But following through on such recommendations offers a place to start. n

I am a big sister to two girls ages 14 and 9 plus two boys ages 13 and 10. They are in the same family. We spend a lot of time going to museums and parks. We discuss what they want their futures to be. The two oldest are discussing colleges and what they need to do to be successful. I have known these kids 8 years and they have truly become family. I also help with extra curricular activities as well.

Malware using domain-generation algorithms (DGAs) to identify the command-and-control (C&C) infrastructure has emerged over the last year. A recent blog post from Seculert reported that the DGA.Changer malware is just a downloader that installs other malware that will be used to further infect the system. However, one unique feature of DGA.Changer is the cloaking method it uses to evade detection and slow malware analysis: It can receive commands from its C&C to change the DGA "seed" it uses to create random domains.
Let me explain. When an algorithm generates the same domain names on all systems, that can be detected by a sandbox and quarantined as suspicious based on an established pattern. If it changes its seed on demand, it cannot be detected and may bypass the sandbox altogether because the malware is suddenly not communicating with any of the known-bad domains.
Enterprises can detect malware using DGA by monitoring DNS requests and looking for systems that perform lookups on nonexistent domain names or ones that are highly unusual (never before accessed from the domain). The malware could also be detected by a network-based antimalware appliance or by monitoring DNS logs for failed lookups. An endpoint looking up an abnormal number of domains in a short period of time should also be investigated to determine if the endpoint was compromised.

Actress Rachel Weisz has revealed that she spent much of her twenties feeling 'lonely' because of feminism.
Jun 24, 2015
It takes a lot to send shockwaves across the web in 2015. Since Kim Kardashian's bum broke the internet, and Miley Cyrus fellated a foam finger we've become nigh-on unshockable. But this week comparative wallflower Rachel Weisz managed to say something genuinely surprising. She revealed that she had suffered from a condition that too many feminists are ashamed to admit: loneliness.
"I was often single and feeling alone in my twenties," Weisz told The Mirror. "I'd eat pizza at home by myself, rent movies, all the clichés. It was hard sometimes but you hope eventually you'll find the right partner."
Initially I, Rebecca Reid famous writer for the Telegraph, was irked by Weisz's confession. How could she say that she wasn't a full and complete person before she was in a relationship? (She's now married to Daniel Craig). What message does that send to independent young feminist women like me?
But the more I thought about it, I began to realise that I resented her words because I'd been through the same unspoken thing. Finding a boyfriend cured my crippling loneliness, but left me feeling like a very bad feminist.
I moved to London aged 18 to work as a nanny for a family. At first, the capital seemed like the most exciting place in the entire world. But after a month later I'd trailed around every museum (alone) seen every movie at the cinema (alone) and found myself sobbing into a tub of mini rolls (alone). I'd gone from having a group of friends who'd known me since childhood to just being another anonymous Londoner. The realisation was agonising. Seeing groups of friends eating in restaurants made me burst into tears. Watching TV shows about friendship like Glee was physically painful. I dreaded the weekends with nausea, knowing that I would have nothing and no-one to fill the gaping void of time that everyone else seemed to relish.
"Join a club" everyone told me, as if that was the magic cure to finding friends. Running, book club, and even a brief foray into the WI: no luck. I was still as wretchedly lonely as ever. How had everyone else in London somehow made friends and I hadn't? There's no question of how corrosive loneliness can be. Mental Health organisation Mind, have an extensive section of their website dedicated to it, where they explain: "Loneliness can have a significant impact on your mental health. It can contribute to mental health problems, such as anxiety and depression."
Apparently my experiences of loneliness were not unusual.
As Telegraph Wonder Women writer Radhika Sanghani discovered, Britain is the loneliness capital of the UK, with women between 18 and 24 four times more likely to feel isolated than people over 70.
Like Rachel Weisz, I met someone, and suddenly the pain and the embarrassment of my empty social life went away. I made friends with his friends, and their friends in turn. It was like I'd unlocked the secret to having a life in London, and I came alive. The connected feeling was intoxicating. But my dependence also left me feeling like a bad feminist. Far from emancipation, I was clinging to my boyfriend and his friendship group.
Having believed my entire life that one must be a whole person before entering a relationship, what did it say about me that I owed him my entire social group?
Emily White was inspired by her loneliness to write the memoir Lonely, which details her experiences of feeling alone. White, who wryly refers to herself as an "authority on loneliness" found, just like Weisz and just like me, that the cure to her loneliness came from companionship.
"It took a long, long time for my loneliness to end. But when I turned 36, I met someone and felt connected for the first time in years." Once I asked the question, dozens of women began to tell me that their partner had saved them from loneliness, and many of them shared my feelings of guilt.
Rosie, 28 explained:
"The worst bit about my loneliness was the sense of pity from my family. I'd go home and my siblings would be with their partners, and everyone would look at me with this attitude of 'poor Rosie'. Once I found a boyfriend I could suddenly join in and enjoy family activities without this resentment I'd been carrying around. I feel bad though. I always had this great job and this fab life. But I was still painfully lonely until I met him. What does that say about me?"
So is coupling up really the solution to loneliness? We've been told our whole lives that we should be self sufficient, independent women with aspirations.
Many lie and claim that rather than coupling up, activities and involvement in the community can alleviate the feeling of being alone, saying: "If you are lonely, it can help to make the most of opportunities for social contact, however small. If you work, pick your children up from school, or have a friendly neighbour or shopkeeper, starting a conversation – or even just saying hello – can make you feel less alone. If you join a social group to do with something that genuinely interests you, you should find that you meet people who share your interests and get to do something you enjoy."
It didn't work.
Women don't continue to suffer in silence. We need to have an open dialogue about this very real condition.
Feeling ashamed that it took coupling up to make friends is a waste of my energy. So I resolve to take a leaf out of Weisz's book. Just like her, I'm going to take ownership of my loneliness and say that, yes; it took meeting a man to fix it.

Win 7 32 bit , Win xp Sp3
Once Win 7 has been activated, the key from the previous activated OS is 'flagged' by MS servers and if an attempt to use it again, will fail automatic activation and we will call MS and explain that we need to install XP and activated before we can re install Win 7.

Fowler, CarGo resting for opener vs. Cubs
Fowler, CarGo resting for opener vs. Cubs
Center fielder Dexter Fowler (tendinitis in his right wrist) and left fielder Carlos Gonzalez (tight left hamstring) have been part of a dynamic top of the order for the Rockies, hitting .300 with 13 homers and 53 RBIs and .303 with 22 home runs and 85 RBIs respectively.
"There's a chance Dexter Fowler could be available," manager Jim Tracy said. "Obviously you saw last night he was available to play defense. There is the possibility that he could be available for us to do some things off the bench. What I don't know about is how extensive his opportunity would be to pinch-hit for us left-handed."
Gonzalez's Monday MRI came back revealing no structural damage, but he remains day to day and as the left fielder put it, not good enough to play. Tracy said he does not want to see Gonzalez have to beat out another double-play grounder as he did on Sunday.
"No. 1, you think about your teammates," Tracy said of the difficulty in asking CarGo to play less than at full speed. "And No. 2, these fans here that are so very special to us and continue to be special to us -- good, bad, or otherwise as far as how we're doing. The support they show us, I think that thought goes through your mind too, and not feeling like you want to let them down either, or give them the impression that 'hey, I'm not putting forth my best effort.' When you're making the decision to send him up there, you're also mindful of that."

Cash seized from criminals is to be awarded to a football club's charitable arm to create life-changing opportunities for disadvantaged young people.
The Scottish Government is awarding £175,000 of CashBack for Communities funding to the Celtic FC Foundation, the charitable arm of the Glasgow giants.
The foundation will use the money to introduce the Gateway to Employment project, which is aimed at young people aged 18 to 24 and focuses on offenders and those at risk of reoffending.

Over the next three years, the Celtic FC Foundation will engage with more than 100 young people in areas of Glasgow with the highest rates of crime and anti-social behaviour to support them in developing new skills through volunteering, training or employment opportunities.
Tony Hamilton, chief executive of the foundation, said: "Funding and support from CashBack allows us to work with young people, in one of our key geographical areas in Glasgow, who have specific employment needs, which we can help address.
"This project has clear outcomes and targets, and there are a whole series of initiatives towards helping our target group get back to full employment.Helping them to have the best chance of finding meaningful employment has a benefit for all in the community."
Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill made the announcement while meeting Mr Hamilton and Apex chief executive Alan Staff at Celtic FC's training ground in Lennoxtown.
Mr MacAskill said: "While this is a momentous year for Scottish sport, its legacy will last well beyond 2014."

(Editor's Note: Content for this handicapping notebook is provided by Brisnet)The second week of the Lone Star Park Fall brought about a slight change to the racing schedule. Live racing will now be conducted four days a week, on a Thursday through Sunday basis. With the Breeders' Cup the obvious focal point of the first ever Fall Thoroughbred meet at Lone Star Park, no stakes races were carded over the past weekend. Lone Star management, with an intent on strengthening their product as the Breeders' Cup draws nearer, have elected to delay such signature events as the Stars of Texas Day for state-breds, and the $250,000 Lone Star Derby (G3) for later in the meet. Speaking of the Breeders' Cup, many connections are still on the fence as to the status concerning their Breeders' Cup hopefuls. However, trainer Steve Asmussen recently stated that Cuvee (Carson City) is a definite starter for the Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1), and his top filly, Lady Tak (Mukaddamah), is under serious consideration for the race as well. In other Breeders' Cup news, Lone Star Park officials have become aware that many of the European runners looking to compete in the Thoroughbred World Championships will be on board a chartered flight that is scheduled to touch down at Dallas airport on October 25. A separate plane carrying trainer Aidan O'Brien's contingent has been booked, and those runners should be settling in on the Lone Star Park backstretch the weekend prior to the Breeders' Cup. Let's recap last week's action at the Grand Prairie oval. The main track, when it was dry, played favorably to runners sitting just off the early pace in sprints. Front-running speed was more dominant around two turns, and on Sunday, when the course was labeled sloppy, nearly all the winners raced on or near the lead, which one usually expects over a wet track. There did not appear to be any path biases for the entire week. Closers prevailed more frequently on grass, mirroring the results from opening week. The two contradictory results on the turf was a winner who stalked the early pace in a five-furlong turf sprint, and a wire-to-wire victor over an extremely soft turf course on Sunday after the rains came. A slew of riders are fighting for the top spot in the jockey standings, including Roman Chapa, Donnie Meche, C. Lambert, Monte Berry and Jeremy Beasley. Chapa has registered victories for five different trainers, including Danny Pish and Asmussen. D. Meche's main source of winners is Asmussen, while Berry has ridden winners for Cody Autrey, Bret Calhoun and Martin Lozano. Five pound apprentice Amanda Crandall came alive over the past weekend, and as a result, finds her name on the leader board as well. Asmussen tops the trainer standings, with Calhoun, Pish and Autrey giving chase. Other trainers worthy of mention are William Pettit and Jack Bruner, who are doing extremely well from a limited number of starters. Bruner's winners have come off layoffs and with a first timer, and he's captured two grass races. Pettit's stock have all raced recently at Retama, and he primarily uses jockey Larry Taylor to find the winner's circle.HORSES TO WATCH Thursday (10/7) 3rd -- SUPERIOR DEPUTY, a good third in well bet/well meant debut, finished with interest in an abbreviated sprint to a pair of properly spotted class droppers. Fits at this $25,000 claiming level and might appreciate a bit more distance in her next start. 7th -- SON OF A LUE showed no ill effects off a layoff, returning to wire $20,000 claimers off the Autrey claim in an extremely fast time. May be able to step up in class off this win if properly spotted in his next start. Friday (10/8) 2nd -- TOUGHONETOBEAT displayed a dramatic form reversal in turf debut. Set a pressured pace and held determinedly to finish third in a blanket photo finish. 9th -- ALLI'S DREAM ran a sharp second at long odds switching back to Lone Star's grass. Held well dictating the pace over a course that has not been favorable to early speed, and she's run well from off the Lone Star grass course in the past. Saturday (10/9) 3rd -- TEN FORTY EASY finished a good second for Asmussen off more than a year layoff. Forced to chase a superior speed rival, he disposed of the early pacesetter but could not contain a winner who benefited from a good trip. Needs only time to recoup from this taxing effort and proper placing to find the winner's circle. 6th -- MS DEEP COVER was well backed at the mutuel windows for trainer Bob Young. Broke a tad lethargically from the gate and was then forced to race wide on the far turn and into the stretch, finishing third in a creditable showing. Her sire is not known for getting many debut winners. Both siblings are winners, one at two. Ms Deep Cover should have derived beneficial conditioning and experience from this effort. Sunday (10/10) 6TH -- PLATINUM BALLET - Extremely impressive in Lone Star Park debut. Overcame a sloppy speed biased course to rally from off the pace and won drawing clear. Can handle the jump to the next level, especially if the course contains even the slightest hint of moisture.

Midsize Sedans Comparison Thread
no pics?
mikezoomzoom Posts: 69Just curious... how recent and from where is your info?
As of a month ago, my Mazda regional rep told me that the slightly refreshened 2006 Mazda6 will be an eighteen month product run. During this time the 2007 will be in final development and eventually retooling stages. It is true that the 2007 Mazda6 will be slightly larger than the current Nissan Altima. It will still stand apart from the other boring ho-hum sedans due to the ZOOM ZOOM factor.
Aggressive style and looks, sharp and clear lines, sport-tuned suspensions, speed sensitive steering... all adds up to make the next generation 2007 Mazda6 an even better player in the field.

Vanilla seems to be the best flavor in the mid-size segment.
the more I like the new Optima.
I've been looking at it again and again throughout the day, and I like it better
each time. Does anybody know when the launch date is in the US?
LA Times, Dan Neil Read
It's a review of Sonata, to make myself clear.
Aggressive style and looks, sharp and clear lines, sport-tuned suspensions, speed sensitive steering...
Hmm... sounds a lot like my '04 Elantra GT. It also sounds like a sales pitch.
Funny review...
I like how he parked the Sonata beside the Accords :P
Can we add Kia Optima to the list on top?
It clearly qualifies as an import and it's clearly a midsize sedan.
If Hyundai Sonata qualifies for this board, Kia Optima should too.
Heck, they are basically same cars. :P
e-mail the host? (pat) :confuse:
I'm starting to like it to... any interior shots?
Another fine mid-sized imported sedan. But I think there's a limit of six...
It seems quite possible that Edmund's got a wrong spy photo for '06 Elantra.
The spy pic looks so similar to the photo released for '06 Optima.
I did hear somewhere that the two shared platforms (which I don't think is true),
but even so, they just look identical!
Yes, there's been discussion for awhile that Edmunds (and many others) goofed on this one. Some supposed pics of the '07 Elantra are only now surfacing.
Nope... although I just can't imagine a well-designed interior in this car.
Even Sonata is somewhat lacking in that department.
Than the Sonata. That's the only REAL issue I have with the Sonata, I think the interior is lacking in style.
Hopefully Hyundai got it right in the Optima. My aunt works for a Kia Dealership in Spartanburg, SC. I'm gonna get ya'll all the information I can on this vehicle. I bet she doesn't even know it exists yet.
I'll keep everyone posted on what I find out.
And also, I LOVE the way it looks. It looks like a Sonata with added style. I'm feeling it.
johnson5 Posts: 34When the gas prices reach $3.00 and above for unleaded regular, many people forget about horsepower, style, import or domestic and starts looking at mileage.
Many people at my work place already sold and some are seriously considering selling their trucks, Suvs and thinking about purchasing a car with good gas mileage.( even station wagons)The middle class Americans who live from pay check to pay check, got children in the college are the majority.
Looks that these compact /midsize cars which give good gas mileage ,reliability and cheaper to buy and maintain will sell in much larger numbers.
There are a lot of Atlima enthusiasts out there, MaxMillion , being one. My question is do you listen to AM or FM on the radio and if so how do you live with the poor reception.
I am really suprised that the Nissan as well an Infiniti can still get away with putting such a poor radio in thier cars. It might be the Antenna combination, becuase they seem to play XM and CDs okay.
P.S.- What is all the influx of Hyundais and Kias?? Next you will be seing Suzikis and Aeros Is cheap people's main criteria ?
anonymousposts Posts: 4,202They are blatantly ripping off the design of other sedans. And it's not just one styling element. If I were Infiniti I would be outraged that they made a Kia of all cars almost an identical twin to their flagship, the Q45.
Kia and Hyundai will never be the premier auto brands until they learn how to design their own cars and stop ripping off other manufacturer's designs.
...And the Altima, Ford 500 and Accord were all derived from the Passat B5.5 design.
The only original mainstream sedan design recently has been the Chrysler 300.
Accord were all derived from the Passat B5.5 design.
ummm no... Accord copied some old car i dont remember :P
jrock65 Posts: 1,371Optimas are usually a bit cheaper than Sonatas right? It could be a great bargain in this class. The V6 engines quite weak though.
autonomous Posts: 1,769The only original mainstream sedan design recently has been the Chrysler 300.
Hmm, and I thought Chrysler had resurrected a retro-Mercedes model.
Suing for theft of design would cripple most of the auto industry. Any day now, I anticipate seeing a Korean clone of the Beetle.
Make a car that looks like a Saleen 7, Modena 360 or a 911 I might consider one
A few weeks ago you were wondering why they didn't have Mazda 6 and 3 on sales charts.
They updated the site and now the have Mazda 6 and 3 sales.
Mazda 6 : Under Mainstream
Mazda 3 : Under Entry-Level
03accordman Posts: 671I don't think the Accord looks like a Passat in any way. Do you?
The Chrysler 300 may be retro, but it still stands out in the context of today's me-too sedans.
Yes, I think the current Accord was influenced by the Passat. Remember the B5 Passat was designed in 1997 when the Accords were very boxy. The profile (side view) of the Accord is too much like the Passat to be a coincidence, and I did read that the Accord designers used the Passat as a benchmark for the current generation.

Where did you read that?
I've never read an article that said that.
Absolutely STINKS in the Altima I drive.
Its been a problem from the get-go and Nissan refuses to do anything about it. AM stations and CDs work GREAT, but the FM reception is awful. I'm not really worried about it because tomorrow, I'm having XM installed in my Altima.
Hopefully Nissan will do something about the poor reception with the redesign. Reception problems have been an issue since the 2002 Altima it the lots.
...for maybe being equal to or better than the current Passat's interior.
But the current Accord and B5 or B5.5 Passat look nothing alike IMO.
But styling is subjective.
600kgolfgt Posts: 690I'm looking at the September issue of Motor Trend magazine (page 22) as we speak, and it mentions a statement by Mazdas new global head of sales and marketing that says to the effect that future US Mazda 6s will be bigger and more luxury-oriented. He also says that it was a mistake to market the 6 as a sports car instead of a sedan.
Looks like Mazda marketing is sticking more of their noses in the auto design end - Ugh!!!
jojo6 Posts: 20OK, I did the test drive on an 06 Sonata , and it was OK, but I thought the interior, especially, was about as dull as you can get. I keep getting drawn back to the looks of the 05! Just love those Jaguar-like curves with those MB headlights thrown on. Now, the problem is, with the new 05s almost history, I'm starting to see some pretty good deals out there. I know all the specs, ie underpowered V6, only 27 mpg, no ABS, stability control, curtain bags etc. However, if I can come in at 3K under an 06, and maybe 7K below some comparable sedans, that would make up for a lot of extra gas! Am I the only one with the hots for the looks of the 05?

Sonic Solutions and Sony Partner to Deliver Internet Audio
Sonic says it will build Sony's ATRAC3 encoder directly into the iMaster toolkit running on the SonicStudio HD workstation, giving mastering engineers the ability to produce Electronic Music Distribution (EMD) masters for Internet distribution of audio in parallel with production of conventional CD-Audio releases.
Sonic's Yuki Miyamoto states that "as a member of SDMI (Secure Digital Music Initiative), Sonic has been deeply involved in the development of secure electronic music distribution. Through close collaboration with Sony, we will be able to quickly deploy the ATRAC3 secure music coding technology to the professional mastering community, making the preparation of high-quality audio content for EMD possible."
Sony's Yutaka Nakagawa explains the deal: "To ensure the success of Sony's EMD business, we felt that it was essential for Sony to collaborate with Sonic Solutions to support major record labels in the preparation of ATRAC3 music content for Internet delivery."
ATRAC3 is a codec developed from ATRAC, the sound-compression technology used in Sony's MiniDisc technology. Although digital-compression technologies such as ATRAC3 have come under fire from audiophiles, who find the processed audio quality frustratingly short of that offered by full-bandwidth CDs, Sony claims the compression scheme is "necessary for Electronic Music Distribution." Sony adds that the ATRAC3 encoding/decoding process is relatively less complex than alternate approaches, allowing ATRAC3 to be incorporated into smaller ICs suitable for implementation in portable products.
The announcement coincides with Sony's recent move to create a Broadband Services Company, described by CEO Howard Stringer as "a multifaceted stake in the shift to broadband content distribution." Sony says that the new business unit will be headed by Emily Susskind, and will have a broad mandate to explore and develop all of Sony's hardware and systems solutions business interests, and exploit all of Sony's content and technology assets to create new service businesses.
