BBC Releases More Doctor Who Clips!
Over the past few days the BBC has released several new video clips relating to the Doctor Who Series 7b premiere The Bells of Saint John, featuring Matt Smith and guest Celia Imrie.
The clip above features Matt Smith as the Doctor, settling on a brand new outfit with at least one nod to the past (see if you can count them!). "Monks are not cool!" – we suspect the Fourth and Seventh Doctors would agree…
There is also this trailer, an intro to Miss Kizlet (Celia Imrie)
The Bells of Saint John heralds Doctor Who's return to BBC One this Saturday evening at 6.15pm, while on BBC America it can be viewed in the 8 ET slot.

Nice to see a lower level to this new TARDIS console room, like the previous one. And I guess the Doctor's given up the tweed as too much a reminder of the Ponds, either that or he lived on that cloud in the 1800s for too long so he's gone back to frock coats and waistcoats.
That Kizlet is pretty ruthless. She'd get along with the Collector and Sil.

My name is Jason and I work in product development at CO2meter.com. I try to keep up with forums for arduino and other similar products to provide guidance to projects that involve air quality control. We have clients that run large scale mushroom growing operations, and along with Temperature and humidity, it is also important to monitor CO2 levels. This article explains a little about why: http://www.co2meter.com/collections/mushrooms-co2.
It lists a few products that we often provide for our clients, but to incorporate into an automated system I would look into the Cozir RH/T http://www.co2meter.com/collections/co2-sensors/products/cozir-0-2-co2-sensor. This provides real time CO2 level, Temperature, and humidity over UART. I have written some basic libraries to work with MCUs and getting it running on an arduino is very straightfoward.
If you have any questions or would like the code for running these please let me know.

Is there a list of all the achievements that have rewards? I know wowhead has a list of *all* achievements but I'd like to pick one with a title and get to work. The only easy title I've seen is to get exalted with all the home factions-- I think it's Ambassador. Still, I'd like to see a list sorted by rewards somewhere, anyone know of one?

Academic Quality Improvement Program
Blending continuous quality improvement with college and university accreditation.Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College, a technical college in the Wisconsin Technical College System, is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. WITC is a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
As part of WITC's innovative journey, AQIP infuses the principles and benefits of continuous improvement into the culture of colleges and universities by providing an alternative process through which an already-accredited institution can maintain its accreditation from the Higher Learning Commission.
With AQIP, an institution demonstrates it meets accreditation standards and expectations through sequences of events that align with those ongoing activities that characterize organizations striving to improve their performance.
AQIP - Principles & Categories
AQIP's Principles of High Performance Organizations underlie all of AQIP's elements, activities, and procedures. They represent the values that participating colleges, universities, and AQIP itself strive to embody.
The nine AQIP Categories provide a framework that colleges and universities can use to examine their key processes to make sure they are investing energy and resources in ways that will help achieve their goals.
Each AQIP Category deals with a related group of key processes and allows an institution to analyze, understand, and explore opportunities for improving these processes and the interrelationships among them. Through the analysis of processes, the Categories promote critical reflection that allow colleges and universities to share and learn from other institutions experience and insight.
AQIP Category One: Helping Students Learn HELPING STUDENTS LEARN focuses on the design, deployment, and effectiveness of teaching-learning processes that underlie your organizations credit and non-credit programs and courses, and on the processes required to support them.
AQIP Category Two: Accomplishing Other Distinctive Objectives ACCOMPLISHING OTHER DISTINCTIVE OBJECTIVES addresses the key processes (separate from your instructional programs and internal support services) through which you serve your external stakeholders the processes that contribute to achieving your major objectives, fulfilling your mission, and distinguishing yours from other educational organizations.
AQIP Category Three: Understanding Students and Other Stakeholders Needs UNDERSTANDING STUDENTS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS NEEDS examines how your organization works actively to understand student and other stakeholder needs.
AQIP Category Four: Valuing People VALUING PEOPLE explores your organizations commitment to the development of your faculty, staff, and administrators.
AQIP Category Five: Leading and Communicating LEADING AND COMMUNICATING addresses how your leadership and communication processes, structures, and networks guide your organization in setting directions, making decisions, seeking future opportunities, and communicating decisions and actions to your internal and external stakeholders.
AQIP Category Six: Supporting Institutional Operations SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONAL OPERATIONS addresses the organizational support processes that help to provide an environment in which learning can thrive.
AQIP Category Seven: Measuring Effectiveness MEASURING EFFECTIVENESS examines how your organization collects, analyzes, distributes, and uses data, information, and knowledge to manage itself and to drive performance improvement.
AQIP Category Eight: Planning Continuous Improvement PLANNING CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT examines your organizations planning processes and how your strategies and action plans help you achieve your mission and vision.
AQIP Category Nine: Building Collaborative Relationships BUILDING COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS examines your organizations relationships current and potential to analyze how they contribute to the organizations accomplishing its mission.

Reheated 'Dinner' Still Has Some Laughs
James Rocchi, Special to MSN Movies
While watching "Dinner for Schmucks," you may get the feeling you've seen all this before. This feeling is not unwarranted. Paul Rudd plays a man who gains moral guidance and purpose from an unexpected source, just as he did in "I Love You, Man" and "Role Models." Steve Carell plays an off-kilter outsider with what is ultimately revealed as a decent heart, just as he did in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and "Get Smart." "Dinner for Schmucks" is itself an Americanization of a French farce, 1998's "Le Diner de Cons," with "Meet the Parents" director Jay Roach at the helm. While the whole enterprise is filling, it also feels a little bit reheated, more made from a mix off the shelf than made-to-order with fresh ingredients.
Rudd is Tim, an analyst at Fender Financial Services who craves a promotion, in no small part to impress his girlfriend Julie (Stephanie Szostak). His work has gotten him on the radar with his boss Fender (Bruce Greenwood), which leads to a new challenge. Tim is asked to participate in a regular dinner the executives at Fender throw as a competition to see who can invite the biggest loser to be put on display for the smirking amusement of the gathered money managers, with the clear implication that putting in effort for the ironically named "Dinner for Winners" will be rewarded. Tim is torn between revulsion and greed, at which point he runs into Barry (Carell), literally, as Barry is in the road finding a new subject for his hobby of mouse taxidermy.
With his tragic haircut and rodent-like overbite, Barry's clumsy, clueless and stilted -- and thus the perfect candidate for Tim to bring to the "Dinner for Winners." Much like Francis Veber's "La Cage Aux Folles," similarly Americanized as "The Birdcage," the story here contains plenty of familiar farce elements -- overheard conversations, poorly thought-out schemes, inadvisable impersonations and the right thing ultimately being done only after multiple efforts to do the wrong thing have failed spectacularly. Roach's directorial approach seems to be limited to getting out of his actor's way -- there is a nice touch of style as Zach Galifianakis, playing an IRS manager who believes he has the ability to control the human mind, is shot in a series of ever-nearer close-ups as he unleashes his power -- and by and large the approach works.
It works in no small part because the cast around Rudd and Carell is so good. Jemaine Clement (of TV's "Flight of the Conchords") plays a self-centered artist in a way that's both overdone and understated. Galifianakis glares out over his beard to surprising effect, and David Walliams (of "Little Britain") is excellent as Herr Mueller, the vain Swiss upper-class twit Tim's desperate to land as a client for Fender. But the film, and we, keep coming back to Rudd and Carell, and even if "Dinner for Schmucks" is just another reiteration of things they've done many times before -- Rudd with his bemused, askew deadpan, Carell with his halting awkwardness -- it is at least well-executed. Roach's screenwriters (David Guion and Michael Handelman) open up Veber's story from its roots on the stage, and also manage one of the most silly-but-sad, funny-but-true sight gags I've seen in a long time, as Tim peruses some of Barry's work and unlocks a little of what makes Barry tick.
"Dinner for Schmucks" could have used a little more of that kind of inspiration, even though the laughs do come through fairly consistently and with a minimum of padding around them. It seems mean and sour to state that your biggest complaint about a comedy is that it didn't consistently kick into the realm of the truly hysterical, and yet nothing served up in the movie is at the level of comedy or consistency attained in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" or "Role Models." Considering that Roach is the director who wrung three films out of such meager beginnings as "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" and "Meet the Parents," it feels almost inevitable we'll be offered a second serving of "Dinner for Schmucks" at some point, but it's hard not to think the portion offered here is just enough to satisfy anyone looking for a few laughs.

Ashley Tisdale celebrated her 27th birthday on the beach with her closest friends! Selena Gomez was there, as was Vanessa Hudgens and her boyfriend Austin Butler.
Ashley was spotted kissing her boyfriend Scott Speer, after the couple reportedly split in December. Looks like things are still going strong!

Call me crazy, but someone over at Gucci gave Blake Lively a nose job! That is 100% NOT her real nose! Either Blake's had a nose job, or someone gave her a photoshop nose job. Either way, that's not the real deal.
Two weeks ago Blake Lively was given a major endorsement by Gucci to promote their new perfume, Gucci Premiere. Rumor has it she insisted on the director of 'Drive', Nicolas Winding Refn, to film the commercial for the perfume, which I can't wait to see!
Blake already models for Chanel, and according to sources, was hand-picked by Karl Lagerfeld himself.
What do you think of her new ad?
Below are some new pictures of Blake leaving her hotel in NYC (with her REAL nose).

I understand why they want to deny the fact that they're dating, but c'mon now. The couple were spotted having lunch at the "members only" club Soho House in West Hollywood on Saturday, and they were all over each other. Mila stroked Ashton's hair as they sat down outside, and at one point, Ashton, 32, leaned in and whispered something in Mila's ear (check out the pictures below!).
Mila, 28, recently called rumors of them dating "absurd".
"They were seated on a couch on the same side of the table and Mila was running her hands through Ashton's hair," a witness tells Us Weekly. "She had her elbow resting on his back and couldn't stop playing with his hair and rubbing his shoulders. He leaned in and whispered to her and kissed her cheek. They were holding hands."
The pair have been hanging out since late April doing everything from road trips to dining out in public. A source recently told Us, "They're not exclusive, but they are hanging out and seeing where it's going."

It's been rumored that Johnny Depp and Amber Heard hooked up on the set of their movie, 'Rum Diary'. Looks like there may be some truth to the rumors after all. Not only did Johnny Depp leave his partner of 14 years, but Amber Heard has ALSO left her girlfriend, Tasya van Ree.
In the midst of Johnny Depp's public separation from Vanessa Paradis after 14 years together, his rumored flame Amber Heard has parted ways with her significant other.
In Touch, on newsstands now, can exclusively reveal that the bisexual blonde, 26, has split from her girlfriend, artist/photographer, Tasya van Ree.
"They are no longer in a relationship," an insider tells In Touch. The women have reportedly been together since 2008 and came out as a couple at GLAAD's 25th anniversary bash in LA. However, the insider reveals the two quietly split several months back, as things between Amber and Johnny began to heat up.
According to the insider, the duo remain friends and Tasya appears to be enjoying single life again. "[Tasya] was chatting and laughing with several beautiful women," an eyewitness, who recently spotted her at LA's Bar Marmont, tells In Touch.
I would really hate if these rumors were true. If Johnny and Amber DO end up together, that's going to be disappointing. Man, I hate cheaters.

Categories > Original > Romance > Wreaking Havoc
part one0 Reviews
What happens when a werewolf (Havoc) who denies her existence is captured by vampires-which don't exist- and is hunted by other werwolves? I dunno you should read it! Rated R for Possible future ev...
I shook my head, "Not at all," I denied adamantly.
"Gosh, what about ghosts?" asked Cole.
"Werewolves?" asked Rusty.
"I....no," I said quickly.
"Eh, whatever, but remember, in debate next period you have to go up with Jon and debate against it," yawned Kelsey.
The bottle of propell I had been about to drink froze half way up to my open mouth; my eye twitched. "That's today?" I whispered.
All three of them nodded.
"SHIT!" I yelled, jumping up.
"Calm down Havoc!" gasped Rusty. He stood up with me as well.
"B-b-but I have to-I need to-" I looked over and saw Jon staring at me with a smirk on his face, "Son of a bitch," I muttered.
I walked off with Rusty, realizing it was the last day before Christmas Break.
"Havoc, Jon, you're up," my English teacher, Mrs. Voyles began, after she made sure the class was all here.
Jon and I stood up and I moved towards the left podium, Jon standing behind the right.
"The supposed world of Preternatural beings Does not exist. I am here to prove this to you all. There is no scientific evidence that proves the existence of vampires, werewolves, or whatever else haunts your closets at night. These natural occurrences are simply that: natural. Someone probably saw an oversized wolf and claimed it was a man. Another person might have decided that the Donner Party weren't cannibals, but simply vampires.
There are many explanations for these occurrences. Nothing outside of our Scientific spectrum, that cannot be described and duplicated by man, has never, and will never exist," I concluded.
Jon cleared his throat and stepped forward, staring at the class, "If theses things never existed, then why are there so many unexplained phenomenon? Why can't Science explain what has happened to a numerous count of people? And most importantly, why was it on the news last night that they found Werewolf bones in Transylvania?" Jon ended.
"It's probably some whacko who wants publicity," I countered.
"The bones were tested and found to have human and Canis Lupus DNA!" argued Jon.
I sighed, "Are you sure that's not just something in the tabloids?"
"All right, all right, enough. Havoc, Jon, go sit down. Your three minutes are up. Next up is Cole and Dakota....."
My best friend spent his time arguing about the right to put humans to sleep. I basically sat and dozed.
The bell rang, finally. I walked out the door with Rusty and Cole, only to hear my name called from a few yards back.
"Go on ahead, I'll catch up," I assured my best friends. They complied, walking off and laughing at a joke.
Jon came up beside me, his other friends were around him. This wasn't going to be fun, the only time they got together around me was when they were planning on causing me pain.
"So, you don't believe in the preternatural," nodded Jon.
"Nope," I answered boredly.
Someone grabbed my left arm-Dylan, and Jon grabbed my right; they started walking around the school.
"Hey-what the?! What are you doing?" I yelped.
"Making you a believer," answered Jon
I struggled harder, afraid they were going to beat me up.
When we got to the back of the school, Jon jerked me into an alleyway. He pushed me against a wall and pulled out a knife.
"No! Leave me alone!" my voice was squeaky.
Jon just smirked and latched onto my wrist, pulling it out in front of him. With a swift movement h had sliced my arm, blood flowed onto the ground.
Jon shoved me and I tripped, falling onto the pavement. He smirked and all of them backed promptly out of the alley.
I stood up, stemming the blood flowing from my arm. I hissed in pain as my arm throbbed.
Suddenly I felt something behind me, but I was fearful about turning around.
Someone slammed into me, knocking me against the wall. I scrunched up, throwing my arms in front of my face.
"Please don't kill me!" I whimpered.
The person, or whoever, stopped their relentless assault, "why are you here?" a male voice asked cautiously.
"S-someone played a joke on me, if you'll please just let me leave, I swear I won't tell any-AAAAAAHHH!" my words ended as a scream as the man picked me up by the neck.
"Stop it!" the man backhanded me across the face, rolling his eyes, "Do you have to be so loud?" he complained.
I just stared at him.
"Yes....there's no other option...." the man shrugged to himself and looked at me, "This shouldn't hurt for long," he gave a dry smile and punched me in the stomach, knocking me out.
Ba-bump. Ba-bump.
It's always extremely reassuring when you hear your heartbeat. I started to sit up, but instead I smashed my head on something above me.
"Damn!" I cursed softly. I reached up, feeling along the surface of what seemed like a ceiling. I kicked my feet and found the bottom of what now felt like a box. There was a small satin pillow under my head and I suddenly had a good idea of what I was in: a Coffin.
"Oh Crap, Oh Crap, Oh crap, Oh Crap, Oh Crap, Oh crap," I repeated over and over, panicking. See, I'm kinda claustrophobic....
I beat my fists against the top of the coffin, screaming incessantly.
"Will you SHUT UP?" came a muffled voice from above my prison.
"LET ME OUT!" I screamed.
Suddenly the lid opened and above me stood the man from the alley, scowling. Beside him stood an attractive woman, staring down at me with mild interest.
Oh, one more thing....BOTH OF THEM HAD GLOWING RED EYES! There was of course a logical explanation...they were...uh....new light up contacts! Yeah, that was it.
I hadn't really noticed that I sat there, staring up in shock.
"Well, are you getting out?" grunted the man. He had muddy brown hair and looked around eighteen.
"Uh..." was all I said. I jumped over the side of the raised coffin and fell against the man, who simply moved out of the way and let me collapse to the floor.
I stood up, taking a few steps back. I felt a few stinging pains and looked down to see my wrist bleeding again and now my knuckles were bloody. My t-shirt hung off one shoulder so I fixed it quickly, my gaze never lifting from the two people.
"Why did you kidnap me?" I asked. Without waiting for an answer I said, "I'm no one important, and you won't get any ransom for me-"
"Shut up!" the man growled.
I did.
After a moment of silence I asked, "Will you let me go?"
The man blinked, "No, you'll never see your family again," he smirked.
I turned my head, he didn't know that that was already true.....
"What's your name?" asked the woman.
I was more angry than afraid now, and a steely glint came into my silvery eyes, "Nancy O'Cullen," I lied in a fake Irish voice.
The woman sighed and too a step towards me, I flattened myself against the wall.
"My name is Fran," she began, she waved her arm at the man, "this is Blaze. Will you please tell us your real name?" she asked gently. She was quite pretty. Blonde hair flowed over her shoulders, stopping at her waist. She had beautiful alabaster skin that looked like it had never seen the light of day.
"Why bother, sister? You don't need to know every detail about your food." Blaze yawned.
My mouth opened and my eyes widened, "You're cannibals," I whispered.
Fran gave me a strange look while Blaze burst out laughing.
"You stupid girl, we're vampires!" he whooped.
I shook my head, "vampires don't exist," I argued.
Blaze looked shocked. He took a step toward me and opened his mouth in a snarl. I think you can guess what was in his mouth.
"There's no such thing as vampires!" I yelled over his snarl. Then I wondered why in the hell I was sticking around. I ran out of the room and down the hallway. When I looked back I gave a sigh of relief as I saw there was no one behind me. Suddenly I crashed into something solid, and arms wrapped around my shoulders, preventing me from falling.
"If you don't stop running you'll get hurt, and I hate my food damaged," snickered Blaze.
I screamed and....I am ashamed to admit it....passed out.
My dream was strange. Of course, in dreams the past can and will catch up with you. So for any of you sinners out there, you'll get yours.
In mine stood a huge white wolf illuminated by fire. I was nine and scared. The wolf seemed to offer shelter and protection.
I ran to it, burying my head in its fur as present me turned her head, knowing what always came next.
A scream, then the small girl who was called Mirage lay on the ground, her eyes going blank in the last stare of death.
Death would have been a blessing however, for after the little girl died, something else survived. Something like that wolf.
I could refuse the existence of anything for as long as I wanted, but the truth of what I was-what I am-won't disappear. The Mark of the Wolf cannot and will not fade away.....
I felt something tickle along my collarbone, along the scar that stretched from my collarbone to my jaw line. My remembrance. Where the wolf had sought to mark and change me, before slaughtering any living family I had.
The tickling sensation got stronger however, even as the dream faded away............
I opened my eyes and saw someone's face. It swam for a moment before I realized it was a person I didn't know. Then the day's events came back and I realized the person was Blaze; and he was rubbing his index finger up and down the mark on my neck.
"What are you doing?" I yelped, slapping his hand away.
Blaze looked startled, like he was doing the most obvious thing in the world, "finding the best place to bite you of course, girl," he replied.
My eye twitched. In the next second I was up, running faster than most humans and making my way to the staircase quickly. I started down when something hit my back, knocking me all the way down the stairs. When I got to the floor stars swam above my head and I wasn't able to breath.
Blaze crawled on top of me, his mouth was open, fangs extended. He swooped down and I clenched my eyes shut, thinking of how this was totally not how I wanted to go.

A Loyal Ally to Netanyahu Moves to Center Stage as Iranian Talks Heat Up
Yuval Steinitz, a philosopher-turned-politician and former peace activist, is Netanyahu's point person on Iran
Three years ago, the Israeli politician Yuval Steinitz was a man on the rise. A longtime Likud ally of Benjamin Netanyahu's, he became finance minister after the 2009 elections and presided over the Israeli economy's quick rebound from the global financial crisis. Before long, Netanyahu had turned his inner security septet into an octet to make room for him. In his early fifties, and with an ironclad alliance with the prime minister, Steinitz seemed a good bet to climb higher: One Jerusalem Post article even pegged him as one of seven "would-be successors for Netanyahu."
But Steinitz's luck ran out last year. After an unexpected economic slowdown, Israel's budget deficit ballooned, and Steinitz was tasked with drafting an unpopular austerity budget. His approval rating sank to the teens, and in Likud primaries a few months later, he finished 15th among his fellow lawmakers. Following January's general elections, in which the strong finish of Yair Lapid and his new Yesh Atid party forced Likud into a tense governing partnership, Steinitz lost both the finance ministry and his place in the security Cabinet. Adding insult to injury, Lapid, who replaced him, began blaming him for the nation's economic woes.
In July, Netanyahu invited Steinitz—now minister of strategic affairs and intelligence—to a security-Cabinet meeting to weigh in on proposed cuts to Israel's defense budget. But when the meeting turned from the cuts to the moribund peace process, Lapid noted that Steinitz wasn't a formal member of the security Cabinet and asked that he leave the room, pressing the issue until the prime minister relented. "Yuval," Netanyahu said, "please leave and in an hour I'll call you back for the second meeting." Steinitz, according to Channel 2's account of the incident, stormed out. "What are they doing to me?" he muttered. "How can they treat me like this?"
In recent months, though, Steinitz, a former philosophy professor who specialized in metaphysics, has made a quiet comeback. With the Iranian nuclear issue again dominating the international agenda, Steinitz has emerged behind the scenes—and increasingly in public—as the government's point person on the subject. Last month, he made his third American trip this year, meeting with Vice President Joe Biden and members of Congress in Washington to lobby against easing sanctions. He has also become a regular interlocutor for visiting European foreign ministers. Last week, he appeared on the BBC's HARDtalk to share Israel's reservations about the nuclear talks, just weeks after delivering a PowerPoint presentation on the issue to a roomful of skeptical international journalists at the King David Hotel.
Now advisers close to Netanyahu say he's the leading candidate to replace Avigdor Lieberman as foreign minister if a Jerusalem court finds Lieberman guilty of political corruption — a ruling expected on Wednesday. Either way, Steinitz is back in the room.
Steinitz lives in a modest stone house on an unassuming street in the Jerusalem suburb of Mevaseret Zion—remarkable only for the shed outside that houses several security cameras and a round-the-clock guard. Steinitz, of course, spends more time out of his house than in it. On normal days, he makes do with four to five hours of sleep, occasionally sneaking in power naps between meetings. But when he opened the door to his house on Friday morning to welcome me, he seemed well-rested, wearing a light-blue polo, khakis, and a pair of Nikes with black socks. It was the first time I'd seen him not in a suit.
As we sat at a small kitchen table, Steinitz told me apologetically that the interview would have to be a little shorter than planned because he had a one-on-one meeting with the prime minister afterward. The two, of course, had much to discuss: Iran and six world powers are set to meet this week in Geneva to discuss the contours of a possible deal. It had become Steinitz's job to pour cold water on growing international optimism. "President Obama and Secretary Kerry said clearly that the Iranians are coming to the table with some willingness to compromise only because of the sanctions, so everyone should accept this simple equation: The greater the pressure, the greater the chances," he told me. "And now I'm speaking as a former philosopher: If you accept the formula 'the greater the pressure, the greater the chances,' it also follows logically 'the lesser the pressure, the lesser the chances,' so don't ease the pressure on Iran before you achieve your final satisfactory agreement."
From Ehud Olmert to Tzipi Livni to the former Shin Bet chiefs who starred in the documentary The Gatekeepers, the story of the hawk-turned-dove has by now become something of a cliché in Israel. Steinitz, a former peace activist, is a rare counter-example. He was born and raised on a moshav near Tel Aviv. His parents were politically moderate, voting for DASH and other centrist parties. But their son found his home squarely on the left. As a philosophy student at Hebrew University in the early 1980s, he became active with Peace Now. He describes himself as having grown "disturbed" by Ariel Sharon's prosecution of the First Lebanon War in 1982. His left leg was injured in a battle with the Syrian Army near Beirut, and at a 1983 antiwar rally in Jerusalem, Steinitz was injured in the same leg when a right-wing extremist threw a hand grenade into the crowd, killing another activist.
At a time when contacts with the Palestine Liberation Organization were still banned, Steinitz advocated dialogue with Yasser Arafat. He voted for Yitzhak Rabin in 1992 and then cheered the Oslo Accords a year later. But over the next two years, as Arafat began violating commitments and as suicide bombings became a new feature of Israeli life, Steinitz says he had a change of heart. "One thing philosophy educates you to do is to think in a very rational and logical way and to ask questions and to doubt your basic thesis, so one or two years after the Oslo process started, I had to re-ask myself whether I'm right or wrong, whether we're going to get genuine peace, or instead of peace, we are going to get only a piece of paper," he told me. "As a serious person, although it was very difficult to admit a mistake, to admit that you were at least partially wrong, but as a philosopher, I couldn't help it. I had to ask myself if I was right or wrong. And then I realized that our enthusiasm about peace, 'the new Middle East,' that it's based on illusion."
When Rabin was assassinated in 1995, Steinitz, by then a prominent Haifa University lecturer, took to the airwaves to defend then-opposition leader Netanyahu from charges that he bore responsibility for the toxic political environment that produced the assassin. Netanyahu was apparently grateful: One day, Steinitz received a call from one of the politician's aides requesting a meeting. The two met in Tel Aviv, and the historian's son hit it off with the philosopher. "We were sitting three hours together," Steinitz recalled. "We spoke a little about politics, about history, philosophy. I was impressed by his intellectual capacity." Steinitz endorsed Netanyahu in the 1996 election and continued meeting with him periodically.

5 stars based on 13 Reviews
Servings: 6 Servings
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
Difficulty: Easy
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 cup ketchup
½ cup water
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 whole-wheat hamburger rolls
Coleslaw, optional
Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium high heat. Once it shimmers, add the chicken thighs and sear until golden brown, about 4 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate. Add onion and garlic and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in apple cider vinegar; using a wooden spoon stir up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Add ketchup, water, brown sugar, Worcestershire, cayenne, and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Add the chicken back to the pan as well as any juices that have accumulated on the plate. Turn heat to low, cover and cook for 40 minutes.
Once chicken is cooked, shred the meat with a fork in the skillet. Toss the meat through the sauce so it's covered. Divide the pulled meat between 6 hamburger buns. Serve alongside with some coleslaw, if desired.

All this talk of everything being so horribly hard is making me very concerned. My old guild had a breakdown where lots of players over the summer stopped playing due to IRL issues. So that has left us with about 5 players. On top of that, I've decided to main both my beloved hunter and my new shaman.
I am scared, even before I've tried the instances. I have played a tank, and learned how hard it is to deal with people blaming you, or you simply blaming yourself. It drove me to the point of returning to my hunter and leveling him to 80 so I could get away from that. At least by that point i found an active guild and went all the way to ICC as a DPS. Now I'm back taking a healing role, and I'm afraid I'll let my guild down and myself down again.
Is there no shred of hope? Can there not be anything uplifting about these new dungeons? Or are elitists jerks going to laugh at us who are trying their best to be healers? Or are even elitists jerks going to whine and complain about how hard things have changed? Idk...I just want some good thing going for my shaman and my guild so we don't end up breaking apart due to something I fail at achieving.

The North Highlands Center for Learning came from a vision that Grace had to reach out to the youth in the community. The vision became a reality for the youth of North Highlands in 2009. We have laid the foundation for a safe, structured after-school program based on the belief that children deserve the best that we have to offer.
Our Mission
The mission of NHCL is to promote safe, healthy fun in a creative, yet challenging environment. While supporting academics in grades K-12, the program encourages decision-making/character building skills and invites creativity through music, art, and recreation.
Homework Help
Making sure each child has their homework completed is the first priority at NHCL. Most staff and volunteers have an education background, so students have access to qualified tutors.
Character Building
Through projects that involve field trips in the community and guest speakers, the children participate in character-building activities. Lessons learned will be integrated into other areas of the program.
The arts program go beyond traditional "arts and crafts" to include drama, baking, cultural activities, photography, creative writing and more. Students learn life skills and a sense of accomplishment while channeling their creative talents.
The children learn team work and sportsmanship while getting at least two hours of exercise a week during our recreation time. Basketball, wiffle ball, kickball, soccer, frisbee and dodgeball are among some of the sports activities.
Pool, ping pong, foosball, air hockey, puzzles, board games, reading and coloring are available.
The center is open Monday – Thursday from 3:00 to 5:30 pm and follows the Fort Wayne Community School calendar. NHCL starts after Labor Day and ends before Memorial Day.

Playing with the Hadamard product in decomposing Gini, concentration, redistribution and re-ranking indexes
AbstractGini and concentration indexes are well known useful tools in analysing redistribution and re-ranking effects of taxes with respect to a population of income earners. Aronson, Johnson and Lambert (1994), Urban and Lambert (2008) decompose Gini and re-ranking indices to analyse potential redistribution effects and the unfairness of a tax systems. Urban and Lambert (2008) consider contiguous income groups which are created by dividing the pre-tax income parade according to the same bandwidth. However, earners may be very often split into groups characterized by social and demographic aspects or by other characteristics: in these circumstances groups can easily overlap. In this paper we consider a more general situation that takes into account overlapping among groups; we obtain matrix compact forms for Gini and concentration indexes, and consequently, for redistribution and re-ranking indexes. In deriving formulae the so called matrix Hadamard product is extensively used. Matrix algebra allows to write indexes aligning incomes in a non decreasing order either with respect to post-tax income or to pre-tax incomes. Moreover, matrix compact formulae allow an original discussion for the signs of the within group, across group, between and transvariation components into which the Atkinson-Plotnick-Kakwany (Plotnick, 1981) re-ranking index can split.

Serious photographers know that a serious camera means a serious sized carrying apparatus. Not the case with the just leaked Sony RX1.
We don't have any official details, at least not from the manufacturer, but from what we understand this camera sports a full sized sensor equivalent to that of a 35mm film shooter, something often seen in bulky DSLRs. And if our eyes aren't deceiving us, the RX1 appears to be that of a comparable size of some of those mirrorless cameras we've seen from the likes of Olympus, Panasonic, and even Sony themselves.
Aesthetically, the RX1 is very reminiscent of cameras of a time past (retro), a trend that we've seen emerge in the last few years and one that we dig. Needless to say there is a pop up flash, a hot shoe, lenses that support those wonderfully simple rings for adjusting focal length and aperture (f 2.0), and variety of settings courtesy of a few dials. Other features purportedly include a 25-megapixel sensor, 14-bit RAW, an ISO range of 100-25,600, 5fps continuous shooting, HD video recording, a magnesium body, a 3-inch LCD screen, and the option of optical and electronic external viewfinders.
When the Sony RX1 does launch, it will sell for a wallet wincing $2,800.

Angsty teenager in you, rejoice! You can now read all the words of the inner, angsty teenager personified that is Morrissey. He just released his autobiography titled "Autobiography." #soMorrissey
As the Moz is perpetually conflicted and confused, I am too towards him. Does he annoy me or inspire me? Is he ranting or being a prophetic voice of wisdom? Does his persona affect how much I love the Smiths, the comforting soundtrack of my adolescence? Is he really tortured or just torturing us with his complaining?
Don't get me wrong, I love the man. He will forever be in my top favorite musicians of all time, but sometimes these questions arise. Like when I saw him in concert and he gave a 30 minute lecture on animal rights complete with graphic slideshow…..Perhaps I'll be able to draw some conclusions after reading his tell all book.
From what's been reported, it details a lot of what youd expect like his sexuality and falling out with Smiths bandmate Johnny Marr. But leave it to good, old Pat to keep us on our toes with unexpected stories like an attempted kidnapping in Mexico and a guest starring opportunity on Friends.
My favorite part of all of this so far? The publisher, Penguin Classic chose to put his work in their cover format reserved for classics, I'm sure you're familiar with it from any high school English class ever. Thus creating a visual parallel between the Moz and the greatest works of Western literature like Moby Dick and Don Quixote. lol.
SO excited to get my copy of this apparent new classic.

There are many ways to describe those who fear encroaching technology: Luddites, technophobes and, incorrectly, President Rutherford B. Hayes. To Hayes is attributed a technophobia so intense that he allegedly questioned the value of having a telephone in the White House Oval Office.
However, Hayes deserves a bit more credit for recognizing the potential of communications and information technology than the White House's current occupant and his administration.
Before we set Mr. Peabody's Wayback Machine to the 1870s to defend Hayes' record, let's observe the current landscape. On President Barack Obama's watch, bureaucrats at the Federal Communications Commission, Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice have turned up their noses at the current state of competitive technologies in the United States.
The FCC and FTC exacted ridiculous demands from Comcast and NBCUniversal as grounds for administrative approval of the two companies' merger in 2011, including requiring the reservation of broadcast space for racially diverse programming.
Obama's three-headed Luddite Hydra next struck at a proposed merger of T-Mobile and AT&T, claiming it would be more competitive to let the former die on the vine than to allow the latter to bottle it. The merger was necessary for AT&T to attain valuable spectrum possessed by T-Mobile, but Obama's agencies gave the enterprise a thumbs down.
And speaking of spectrum, the FCC still sits on a treasure trove of it as officials there wring their hands over how best it can be auctioned off to ensure competitiveness -- once again, by excluding the nation's largest carriers in favor of startups. Not only does this punish the success of companies that have been serving wireless customers successfully for the past 25 years, but it also does little to help the customers who need more spectrum to operate smartphones and apps.
Both Obama and the Senate have doubled down on the FCC, FTC and DOJ mischief by thwarting an FCC reform bill, which Obama has declared he would veto should it ever arrive on his desk. The bill, which already has passed the House, seeks only to increase the regulatory agency's transparency -- a mantra oft chanted in Obama's 2008 election campaign -- and prevent the FCC from making up new rules, as opposed to enforcing those passed by Congress.
Keep in mind the FCC's not supposed to create rules from nothing anyway, but that didn't stop Obama's team from adopting so-called "network neutrality" regulations in December 2010, despite an April 2010 ruling by a U.S. District Court that they could not do so. The cost of fighting rules created by nonelected government officials is borne by the companies and their customers, while the cost to defend them is shouldered by taxpayers.
President Hayes' alleged technophobia makes for a nice cultural meme, except that it's not true. It seems Obama's speechwriters picked it up from a 1985 speech by Ronald Reagan, who had employed the apocryphal story as a setup for the punch line: "I thought at the time that he might be mistaken."
In fact, the current president and his followers would be well-served to follow Hayes' example. It was during the Hayes administration that Thomas Edison demonstrated the phonograph at the White House and that typewriters debuted in an official government capacity. As for that mischievous phone, Hayes did indeed have one installed. He was given "1" as his phone number.

Mathematica Problem, please help me!
View Single Post
Apr28-08, 12:18 PM
I've been having this problem for about a week now, and would love to hear from anyone who is familiar with Mathematica and can offer some insight:
I think the basic concept is simple. I have two variables, let's call them x and y, related in the following way:
y/(Exp[y] -1) = Log[1+x]/x
I know the value of x, and I would like to know the value of y. Thus I can employ FindRoot:
FindRoot[y/(Exp[y] -1) == Log[1+x]/x, {y, 1}]
If I have specified the value of x already, i get a good response from FindRoot, for example
In: x = -.6
FindRoot[y/(Exp[y] -1) == Log[1+x]/x, {y, 1}]
Out: {y -> -.916291}
However, what I really want is a function called F[x], such that when I feed any value of x to it, it will apply FindRoot and give the numerical value of y. I have tried the following equation:
F[x] := FindRoot[y/(Exp[y] -1) == Log[1+x]/x, {y, 1}]
and the equation
F[x] := x /. FindRoot[y/(Exp[y] -1) == Log[1+x]/x, {y, 1}]
and also the equation
F[x] /. FindRoot[y/(Exp[y] -1) == Log[1+x]/x, {y, 1}]
All of these give me an error, unless I have "preassigned" a numerical value of x. But I don't want to have a preassigned value of x, I want to be able to enter any value of x that I choose into F[x] and have FindRoot spit out a numerical value for y. Is this possible? Can anyone better at Mathematica than I am give me some advice? I would be forever in your debt, this has been driving me crazy.

You can imagine some patients are very glad now to wear a Glucowatch instead and let their calloused fingers heal. It takes a blood sugar reading every 20 minutes right through the skin, with no finger sticks, and it stores up to 4,000 readings which can be uploaded into a computer so your doctor can see how you are doing, hour by hour, day to day.
"The Glucowatch Biographer will give patients information on glucose levels that they have never seen before. We believe that this will control their diabetes better and avoid hypoglycemic episodes, and that will improve their quality of life," says Dr. Richard Eastman of Cygnus, Inc.
"I can stop lows before they happen now, because there's trends, you'll start to see. You'll go from a hundred 20 minutes later you'll be 80. You'll know, you're dropping your dropping. It's time to take something to eat," says Wendy Young, a diabetic.
The only drawback is that some people like Wendy get a skin irritation from the watch so she has to regularly change where she wears it. Even so, she says the Glucowatch is a welcome relief.
The Glucowatch has just become available for adults by prescription in this country. It is not cheap. The Glucowatch is $600. The disposable sensors cost about eight dollars a day, but that still may be a good option for patients who are having trouble monitoring their diabetes.

The former child star released her tell-all book, UnSweetined, earlier this month (Oct10), lifting the lid on her battle with drugs and alcohol and her marriage to Cody Herpin, who she divorced earlier this year (10).
But Herpin is not happy about the way he has been depicted in the book, and has filed suit against his ex-wife for allegedly portraying him in a ""false light"".
In the suit, filed at Los Angeles County Superior Court, Herpin claims his former partner has depicted him as ""lazy, unwilling to provide and support his family, uncaring, vindictive, unsupportive and disinterested"" in Sweetin's pregnancy when she was expecting their daughter, Zoie.
Herpin is also suing the book's publisher Simon & Schuster, according to TMZ.com.
