Despite having nothing to do with Cheap Trick at all — except for the cheap trick we all play on ourselves believing there is anything unique or selfish about the need to love and to be loved — "I Want You to Want Me" is an interactive art project built from data mined from various dating sites, organizing into a heart-achingly beautiful touchscreen presentation where each person is represented as a balloon. It was one of the pieces at MoMA's "Design and the Elastic Mind" show, which is apparently no longer on display. I'm kicking myself for missing it. [via Cool Hunting]
I Want You to Want Me: One of the most touching interactive art pieces I've ever not actually seen

I really dug that video. The contrast between the non-serious, informative tone of the developers and the noise from the crowd contrasted with the touching Stars loop and the great editing took what is really a cool art project and turned it into a really somber look at human life.
The idea of someone casually stepping up and (ideally) perfectly pairing two lonely people together and these two a) never know it or b) live on opposite sides of globe is a really depressing.
MoMA site says it's available through May 12, no?
Wow. I so would have gotten an 'A+' if I created something like that for my Arts Technology major in college.
really amazing.
Yeah, its depressing, but it's also what makes it so cool when you find someone right? it's a fantastic piece, I hope it tours or something, would love to see it live
what is the song in the background?
reminded me of a talk I've seen on ted website: "Jonathan Harris: The Web's secret stories" : http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/144

Aurora man dies after skiing accident at Blue Mountain Resort
Police are investigating after a 48-year-old Aurora man died following a skiing accident at Blue Mountain Resort on New Year's Day.

Police are investigating after a 48-year-old Aurora man died following a skiing accident at Blue Mountain Resort on New Year's Day.
Emergency crews were called to the ski resort near Collingwood around 1 p.m. Tuesday after a report that the man had been injured on the Tranquility trail.
Nearby skiers and staff witnessed the accident and assisted the man, who was brought down the hill to a waiting ambulance. He was sent to Collingwood General and Marine Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
The Tranquility trail is a hill for intermediate skiers, which the resort rates as the second most challenging out of four main slopes. The hill was closed after the accident for an investigation.
"Fatalities are rare at ski resorts; they don't occur frequently but when they do it obviously impacts everyone involved," said resort spokesperson Collin Matanowitsch. "We're saddened by the news, and our sympathy goes out to the family at this time."
Four days earlier, 16-year-old Alexander Mayer of Markham died after sustaining a serious head injury while skiing at Lakeridge Ski Resort in Uxbridge.
In a statement, Mayer's family remembered the Markville Secondary School student as an active, energetic young man who built remote-controlled airplanes and cycled when he wasn't working at a local hobby shop.
"Alex had a heart of gold under his tough exterior. He always sought adventure," said his mother, Joanne Mayer. "Alex and his brother were very close and his loss is especially hard on his brother."
His father Tim Mayer remembered him for the hours they spent together designing and flying model airplanes.
"I'm still amazed at how he could look past the hours of work lost in 10 seconds of flight," he said.
"Alex was a remarkable young man who valued his family, friends and hobbies — and it's hard to imagine life without him."

Most previous analytical works on the performance of space-time block coded systems are based on perfect channel estimation at the receiver, which is impossible in practice. In this paper, we present a maximum-likelihood (ML) receiver jointly with channel estimation for a space-time orthogonal block coded system. Based on this receiver structure, we derive exact, closed-form expressions as well as light upper bounds for the bit error rate (BER) with MPSK modulation over the slow, nonselective, Rayleigh fading channel. Our BER expressions show directly the dependence of the BER on the mean square error of the channel estimator. Simulation results using a Wiener filter as the channel estimator for Jakes' Rayleigh fading model are obtained to demonstrate the accuracy of the analysis.

you can sugar-coat his journey but his radical liberalism ideology is failing bitterly in Europe. Assuming Islamic state aspirations of muslim world around Israel is somehow will not overrun jewish self determination aspiration is not only utopian but outright call for another holocaust on Jews. His vision of 'perfect' palestinian 'democratic' state with 90 persent of muslim population in reality will make Jews living in israel becoming a dominoes. no Jew is left in any muslim country in the middle east. Communist-ideology utopian aspirations ended with atrocities of unbelievable proportions. To assume that Islamic-law abiding majority of middle east with Iran in forefront of annihilating israel daily chants will somehow permit Israel to be 'kind' to jews is no different that assuming ISIS is a non-existent force in the middle east. No muslim country in the middle east ever came close to be a democratic society. far left ideology is a cover up for denying Jews of self determination. Middle east is draining in blood, women oppression, religious agony and child abuse. the only way to bring middle east to the 21 century is to guarantee that Israel is a Jewish state. no muslim country so far came close to even a 19 century. if anything it is moving in opposite direction.

Submission Information for LaTeX Authors
Please read the documentation accompanying the AMS LaTeX files and the instructions below. If your question is not answered in the documentation, instructions, or FAQs, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
The AMS LaTeX support team is available to help resolve issues related to the use of AMS LaTeX files for submissions to the AMS and the submission of AMS LaTeX files to the Editorial Manager system. Please note that we are unable to devote resources to answering other general LaTeX questions or to troubleshoot issues with non-AMS templates.
Most common problems when submitting to Editorial Manager:
- Missing files: Be sure to include all template and source files when uploading your files to the EM system, including ametsoc.cls/ametsoc.sty, ametsoc2014.bst/ametsoc.bst, and all figure files.
- Incorrect item type: All figure files should be designated with EM's "Rendered Figure" item type. All LaTeX files uploaded to EM must have the item type "LaTeX File (.tex, .sty, .cls, .bst, .bib)."
- Duplicate files: If you upload your LaTeX source files, do not upload a PDF of your LaTeX paper.
- Incorrect file type: Do not upload a .bbl file. You must either upload the .bib file or the contents of the .bbl file should be pasted into your .tex file.
- Directory paths in figures: All directory paths need to be removed from figure names (e.g., \includegraphics[width=28pc]{fig1.pdf}, NOT \includegraphics[width=28pc]{myfigures/fig1.pdf}).
- Extra periods or underscores in figure file names: All periods in figure file names should be removed, except for those preceding the file extension. The Editorial Manager system will read anything after the first period as the file extension. Therefore, figure names with additional periods will prevent your PDF from building properly. Underscores should also be removed, as these can sometimes be read as math commands, causing an error and preventing your PDF from building.

To help us meet the sodium targets noted above, nonfat chocolate milk will no longer be offered as a breakfast milk choice. We will continue to offer the other Mayfield milk choices: skim, 1% low-fat, as well as nonfat, low-sugar strawberry and vanilla flavored milks based on customer preferences. Students will be able to enjoy their favorite nonfat chocolate milk at lunch because the sodium limits set for lunch are higher.

In this age of an open Internet, it is easy to forget that every American information industry, beginning with the telephone, has eventually been taken captive by some ruthless monopoly or cartel. With all our media now traveling a single network, an unprecedented potential is building for centralized control over what Americans see and hear. Could history repeat itself with the next industrial consolidation? Could the Internet—the entire flow of American information—come to be ruled by one corporate leviathan in possession of "the master switch"? That is the big question of Tim Wu's pathbreaking book.
As Wu's sweeping history shows, each of the new media of the twentieth century—radio, telephone, television, and film—was born free and open. Each invited unrestricted use and enterprising experiment until some would-be mogul battled his way to total domination. Here are stories of an uncommon will to power, the power over information: Adolph Zukor, who took a technology once used as commonly as YouTube is today and made it the exclusive prerogative of a kingdom called Hollywood . . . NBC's founder, David Sarnoff, who, to save his broadcast empire from disruptive visionaries, bullied one inventor (of electronic television) into alcoholic despair and another (this one of FM radio, and his boyhood friend) into suicide . . . And foremost, Theodore Vail, founder of the Bell System, the greatest information empire of all time, and a capitalist whose faith in Soviet-style central planning set the course of every information industry thereafter.
Explaining how invention begets industry and industry begets empire—a progress often blessed by government, typically with stifling consequences for free expression and technical innovation alike—Wu identifies a time-honored pattern in the maneuvers of today's great information powers: Apple, Google, and an eerily resurgent AT&T. A battle royal looms for the Internet's future, and with almost every aspect of our lives now dependent on that network, this is one war we dare not tune out.
Part industrial exposé, part meditation on what freedom requires in the information age, The Master Switch is a stirring illumination of a drama that has played out over decades in the shadows of our national life and now culminates with terrifying implications for our future.

Your Future In America Tomorrow in Greece Today: The Aspirin Shortage
If conservatives tried to tell people this would be happening in a Western democracy like Greece ten years ago, nobody would have believed us.
For patients and pharmacists in financially stricken Greece, even finding aspirin has turned into a headache.
Mina Mavrou, who runs a pharmacy in a middle-class Athens suburb, spends hours each day pleading with drugmakers, wholesalers and colleagues to hunt down medicines for clients. Life-saving drugs such as Sanofi (SAN)'s blood-thinner Clexane and GlaxoSmithKline Plc (GSK)'s asthma inhaler Flixotide often appear as lines of crimson data on pharmacists' computer screens, meaning the products aren't in stock or that pharmacists can't order as many units as they need.
…The Panhellenic Association of Pharmacists reports shortages of almost half the country's 500 most-used medicines. Even when drugs are available, pharmacists often must foot the bill up front, or patients simply do without.
…The reasons for the shortages are complex. One major cause is the Greek government, which sets prices for medicines. As part of an effort to cut its own costs, Greece has mandated lower drug prices in the past year. That has fed a secondary market, drug manufacturers contend, as wholesalers sell their shipments outside the country at higher prices than they can get within Greece.
Strained government finances only make matters worse. Wholesalers and pharmacists say the system suffers from a lack of liquidity, as public insurers delay payments to pharmacies, which in turn can't pay suppliers on time.
"Wholesalers simply do not have the money anymore to play bank to the pharmacies," Heinz Kobelt, secretary general of the European Association of Euro-Pharmaceutical Companies, said in a telephone interview.
In other words, Greece is broke and in danger of defaulting. That means the government doesn't have the money it needs to buy drugs for the government-run health care system and because they're such a risk, no one wants to loan money to the Greek government or Greek businesses. Government price controls nearly always create shortages, but in Greece's case, there may be no choice. After all, when you're simply out of money, you're out of money.
Guess which other nation could very well be in a comparable situation in five to ten years unless we make some big changes soon? Here's a hint: Think apple pie, baseball, red, white, blue and perhaps the least competent President in history in charge right now.

The Honda Ruckus 150R- Ben's Scooter Upgrade
This is not your average Scooter Pimp out fatty low rider story. There will be no bling. No Performance upgrades. No shiny happy stuff. This is a story about a boy and his dog. And a Scooter named Hank.
Hank has been in the family since 2004. He was bought to be a pit bike for Race Day Photo. So I can get to all the turns I need to be in to shoot. And to just wander the paddock in general. No serious riding was ever planned.
Shortly after his purchase the gas prices climbed to over $3 a gallon. I believe it was the summer of 2004. I rode Hank everywhere. I did not pay for gas once at those prices. And Hank and I bonded over my cheapness. Hank has had a good life. And been all over the place. He has been ridden by more people then a rental. Most of them strippers and road racers. He has been ridden by Danny Walker, Chris Carr, Doug Henry, Travis Pastrana and more. It happens when you travel from track to track.
But we both have settled down. My baby son was getting older. And we started to ride together at the track and on family vacations. My son loved it. And so did I. Good time for Dj growing up with Hank. The three of us going for ice cream or the movies.
Like most boys. My son wanted a Dog. We made him wait for years. He need to be old enough to care for his beast. So on his 10th birthday when he came home from school, Ben was waiting for him. It was a grand happy moment.
Day 1 in our yard Ben climbed up on to the scooter. He saw me sitting on it and climbed right up. I thought it was cute. I started teh scooter. He had no reaction. So I took little Ben for a ride around the yard. He loved it. Then he rolled right off like a water balloon. I freaked. Crap I killed Ben on Day 1!!!! Ben got right up. Looked at me and climbed right back on. The little F'er is a trooper. That was at 8 weeks old. We have been riding together every since. If the scooter is parked in the yard, he climbs on and waits for me. He is quite the stunt dog. Must be something in the breed. He even rides Skateboard.
I was told Bulldogs grew to be around 50lbs. And I have seen many of them. Ben was 80lbs at 1 year old. And he has not even started to fill out yet. Houston, we have a problem. There is not room for me and Ben on poor Hank anymore. Not to mention our combined weight is around 400lbs.
It seemed time to find Ben and I a new bigger ride. We spent the winter looking for just the right size scooter. But nothing had the nice flat floor for Ben. Or the power I wanted. And nobody wanted to give up on Hank. So we decided to give Hank a makeover. Hank is going to get a 150cc motor upgrade. And some ergonomic upgrades to give Ben and I some more room. This won't be a hyper performance project. The end result is to make Hank look like a Meduim Ruckus. If Honda made a 150cc Ruckus. This is what I would want him to look like. No crazy bling or loud pipes. No stretch to milk performance. Just a reliable 150 cc version of the scooter I love so much. A grown up version.
Let the mods begin...
We are going to start with making more space for me and Ben. Then move to horsepower. One of the fine things about the Honda Ruckus is the strong aftermarket following of this fine scooter. You can get just about anything for it. Or find a write up to do anything. We decided to do a footpeg and low seat mod for starters. Ben leaves me no room for my feet. He takes up the whole space where feet are supposed to go. And the higher seat crowds his head. So these mods seem to make sence for both of us.
Off to ebay I went to find parts. The low seat mounts are a dime a dozen on ebay. I went with a nice powder coated black version from ATR. It matched perfect. And gave Ben a lot more room for his shoulders and head. Sorry there is no pictures of the actual mod, but its bolt on. No degree in engineering to put it on.
Next we went to the local bicycle shop for axel sliders for a BMX bike and some grade 8 bolts. The hond Ruckus has 2 big holes in the frame right at the level where footpegs could go. Many people put pegs there. And it worked out great. With the lower seat the foot position felt perfect. No more sharing floorboards with Ben.
He does not sit much while riding, but when we stop he does. See the seat height difference. It really allows him to rest his head now. Bulldogs love to rest their heads on stuff. Ben is happy. The foot pegs finally give me a place to rest my feet. Ergonomically We are both much happier on Hank now.
Let the Power Mods Begin!!!!!!!

Horse Power!!!!!
There are many motors people put in the Ruckus. People wander the net looking for doner bikes. Cheap broken Chinese scooters with the GY6 motor in it. The motor thru rear wheel are all one piece on a scooter as most know. So its simply a case of taking one drivetrain off and replacing it with a new one. Then figuring out wiring. This is the cheapest way of doing it. If you have the time you could save hundreds of dollars getting your project done.
Call me lazy. This rebuild is not a mechanical adventure to me. I like working on stuff, but don't want any headaches. I just want to ride my bike. I want to spend a day or two on this. Not every minute banging my head on a wall trying to work out electronic issues. So I researched kits from various companies. I decided on the Killer Scooter Kit. I bought it from Rucksters.com. It costs $1200. Not cheap, but not that expensive when you start adding stuff up.
The Killer Scooter kit comes with most of what you need. It is not a complete kit. I did see some complete kits for $1500, but did not like the components as much. The KS kit comes with the brand new GY6 motor. A full wiring harness for the Ruckus rewired to be used with the GY6 motor. And the new motor mounts, shock mounts and hardware to make this work. You will still need to find yourself a rear wheel for a GY6, and air filter and longer throttle cable. Combined you can find this stuff for under $100.
You will also need to find an exhaust. There are many pipes on the market for the GY6 motor. From $60-$300. I want a stock pipe. So this might be the thing I wait longest for. I am still looking for a pipe. But might order a cheap pipe for this week just to hold me over. Most pipes are out there are performance pipes. Which means they are loud. And they bike will sound like a thumper in the woods. I don't want this. But will deal with it if I have to for a while.
As of right now I am at $1400 with shipping for all the parts I ordered to make this happen. Rucksters told me to expect my package of parts in 2 weeks. I cut costs by asking about used parts. They had a wheel and throttle cable used. I ordered a tire and air filter seperately. Except for the pipe I have all the parts on the way. All I can do is wait. And start to take poor Hank apart. Tomorrow I will start breaking poor Hank down. Right after I clean my garage out and make some room to work. Looks like the GS will be out in the snow for a weeks.

That's not out of the question. But for now my focus is on getting the power I need. I wanna be able to maintain speeds of 50-60 mph if needed. An to climb hills with Ben. The GY6 should give me what I need. Once that is accomplished we can explore side cars. (Dog crate convertible? Hummm ). Focus!!! Sorry. Giraffe ahh
Any way. I cleaned the garage. Tomorrow Hank gets disassembled. Seat, covers, battery, fuel tank and harness come out. Maybe the motor will come out if I have time. But there is no hurry. I still have weeks before all my parts will be here.

Well the weather struck again in the Northeast. It felt like snow was over for the year and we got 8" last night. But that did not stop me from getting Hank started. As soon as I got the snow shoveled I was in the garage.
I started out today by stripping Poor Hank down to his frame. This way I could get to all the wiring. Taking the wiring harness off seemed like a good place to start.
After unpluging the tail lights I worked my way forward. It seemed like the way to go. All went smoothly. I removed the fuel tank and stopped there. The motor was clear of wires and ready to leave electrically. When the new harness comes I will removed the rest of the old harness. This way its still fresh in my memory and I can install one as the other leaves.
I originally planned to leave the airbox on. And just pull the motor thru real wheel in one shot. But some of the vacume lines pass thru hoops in the frame. So I took the air box off with all the lines. This left a lot of room to get the shock off and disconnect the rear brake line.
I strolled around the bike disconnecting the last lines and cables to the motor(throttle cable,fuel line and coolant lines). I guess its time to pull the motor. I had no idea what this would weigh, so I put the center stand down. to catch the motor. Two 14mm bolts later and it slid right out. Poor Hank was no split in two.
Taking Hank apart was extremely easy. I doubt I was in the garage for an hour this morning. And I spent alot of that time cleaning up. But he is ready for his transplant. Now its time to wait. Hopefully the next week and a half go quickly.I hate sitting idle mid project.
As for my used pipe, it did not work out yet. But I am still looking. I will update as soon as parts start arriving.

The mods done already have really gave us both space. I like him where he is. There is a lead connected to the seat frame to his harness. Between that and my feet I feel he is safe from falling. But once this stage is done I might try a side car. But with a large dog crate as a side car.

Valve's recommendations are spot-on (or spot-off if I wanted to be funny) and perfect for a full blown, all afternoon cleaning session with your new truck.
I have simplified my routines due to time pressures:
Washing: I use a car washing soap (Mothers, Mequiars, Turtlewax, etc.). I use wash the upper areas first using a washing mit or clean towel. Since the lower sections are dirtier, I do those last. If the bucket water gets dirty enough, I change the soap/water. You don't want the dirty water transferring sand/dirt particles to your cleaning cloth.
Drying: A good towel will do (I've always heard Egyptian cotton towels are best). Start with the windows and handle the paint lightly. You don't want to rub the paint with a dry towel.
Waxing: I like to use "polymer wax" like Mother's or Mequiars. If you do a great job washing and get all the dirt off, you don't need to use a "cleaning wax". I sometimes use the cleaning wax on the lower parts that are difficult to clean well.
Clay bar: The miracle of the car cleaning routine. It only needs to be done once a year (or twice if you love the feeling). Since a clay bar removes the wax, you always have to wax afterwords. But there is great satisfaction in rubbing your hand down a freshly waxed car following a clay bar application. It is slicker and smoother than anything has the right to be.
After a good clay bar/waxing, I once put my full foam soda cup on the roof of my 300C while I got something from the back seat. I closed the door and the cup slid down the roof and fell on the ground. I was more impressed with the slickness than I was pissed at losing the soda.

Owner of charred Nana's Diner: 'I'll get you breakfast as soon as I can, baby doll'
Any greasy spoon worth its biscuits and gravy has regulars, and at Nana's Diner in Golden Gate, they started arriving at 5:30 a.m. Tuesday.
They come for the comfort of food and consistency. Arnie the cook will scrape together your smoked sausage and eggs. Nancy the waitress will refill your coffee and listen to your tales of love and woe. Teonta the owner will snap your picture and pin the photograph to the wall.
The rituals are why Nana's became a fixture along Collier Boulevard, and why longtime supporters and staff were devastated Tuesday morning by what they found: the diner ravaged by fire, charred beyond recognition.
"Has it hit me yet? No," Teonta Tems said in her Southeast Kentucky twang as she stood outside her restaurant. "I've got to figure out how to start over, but I will. … If I have to pitch a tent in the front yard, I will."
Investigators spent Tuesday picking through what's left of the popular 125-seat restaurant, a classic local haunt embodied by its motto: "Southern food with an attitude." Golden Gate Assistant Fire Chief Nolan Sapp said inspectors are focusing on the kitchen as a possible starting point, though no conclusions have been reached. It's unknown at what caused the blaze. Sapp deemed the space "a total loss."
Collier County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Karie Partington said Tuesday evening the fire is being investigated as an arson, although more tests need to be done. No arrests have been made, she said.
The fire also caused damage to an attached store and apartment. One apartment resident escaped the building without injury and is receiving support from the American Red Cross, Sapp said.
The joint has been in Tems' family since 2000, when her mother, Nana Vetta, took over from the owners of the former Bad Boys Diner. Tems said she and her mother have only made a few changes in that time, lining the walls with pictures of customers and making more recipes from scratch. Originally called Nana Vetta's, Tems, a former schoolteacher, took over when her mother retired in 2009 and altered the name.
"It was biscuits and gravy, more than you could eat," said John Walsh, a family friend of Vetta's for about 25 years. "They served huge portions and an attitude. That's the truth. Just great people."
Locals had been eating at the diner, which has undergone several name and ownership changes, for more than 30 years. Stephen McLean, whose family has owned neighboring Phoenix Pools for 28 years, said Nana's Diner often had lines out the door on weekends, with cars spilling into his parking lot.
"They've had a really good reputation and always were really busy," McLean said. "A lot of people come in here from all over. They're kind of like a fixture here."
Tems said business was booming, with regulars who often showed up for their morning coffee a half hour before the 6 a.m. open.
"I've had a wonderful, wonderful summer," Tems said. "I was doing things and giving away gift certificates all summer to the locals that take care of me. The locals take care of all of it."
Restaurant ownership has been in Tems' family for three generations — her grandmother also ran a Southern cooking outpost — and Tems said she has no plan to abandon her roots. She has insurance on the building, and said with a laugh, "We'll see what kind of insurance I have now."
For her customers, who flooded Facebook and lit up her cell phone with messages of support Tuesday, Tems has a message:
"My biggest thing to them is just give me a little bit, and I'll get you breakfast as soon as I can, baby doll."

Big Blue's Near-Term Sales vs. Long-Term Strategy
IBM Corp. (NYSE: IBM) has lots of people talking these days. While share prices slid this week on news of its latest quarterly earnings report, industry watchers still appear excited about Big Blue's two trump cards: innovative strategy and strong leadership.
IBM reported this week that third quarter net income rose 7 percent to $3.8 billion, compared with $3.6 billion a year ago. Revenue came in at $26.2 billion, an 8 percent increase (3 percent, when adjusting for currency) from 2010's third quarter of 2010. Despite the gains, the company missed sales estimates for the first time in five quarters, according to Bloomberg.
Although the current quarter has caused typical nail-biting from investors looking at the short-term dashboard, there was a silver lining many latched onto just a few weeks ago: IBM surpassed Microsoft in market capitalization.IBM's market cap had reached just under $214 billion, jumping up to the number two slot and bumping Microsoft -- with $213.2 billion in value -- down to third, Forbes and others reported. No surprises, here -- Apple holds the crown for most valuable technology company with a market cap of $362.1 billion, according the newsfeed. Based on several post-earnings reports this Tuesday, including this one, IBM's market cap is down to $212.5 billion. That just goes to show how fickle numbers can be, and how they just might not tell the whole story for any significant length of time.
Looking more carefully, though, IBM has been on a steady rise for years, securing its place as a top-tier leader worth watching by actively pursuing its business plans, even if they may be initially perceived as unpopular in any given news cycle. That's why it has been a consistent outperformer among major cap-ex companies and a model of what other high-tech companies can only hope to replicate. The Motley Fool folks were just talking about this the other day and had an interesting take on it. Worth a listen.
As if on cue for this post, Samuel J. Palmisano, IBM's chairman, president and chief executive officer, offered this up in the earnings press release: "In the third quarter, we drove revenue growth, margin expansion and increased earnings as a result of our innovation-based strategy and continued investment in growth initiatives."
EBN has previously pointed out that Big Blue's boldest moves are what has long given it credibility and market resilience. EBN contributor Diane Trommer noted that the company, which recently celebrated its 100th anniversary, once again proved its innovative stamina by joining a select group of chipmakers leading an effort to make the world's largest wafer a reality. More importantly, IBM, in the face of much criticism, has consistently created new opportunities for itself and willingly walked away from low-margin business that no longer makes sense to the big-picture portfolio. (See: Big Blue Cranks Innovation Engine and Happy 100th Birthday Big Blue What's Next?.)
We should also give another hat tip to Palmisano, who may well be America's most underrated CEO, if The Atlantic is correct. IBM has thrived under Palmisano, who led the company's PC business divestiture, boosted software offerings, and improved stock prices.
Quarterly earnings often shake things up temporarily, but what's more compelling to watch is how things change over time. Let's think for a moment about what will happen to players like HP that are trying to get out of the traditional PC hardware business, as Apple has done.
An article in Smarthouse may sum it up best with this lead sentence: "Meet IBM, the company HP want[s] to become." HP is trying to find its way back to fortune, taking steps in changing leadership, dropping its troubled tablet line, and doing a handful of other things already discussed at length here and elsewhere in cyberspace. Perhaps HP's strategy should be to take a look at IBM's best-practices and replicate them.
What about Apple, which turned drab-gray hardware into fashion runway glitz? Will IBM's uptick give executives and investors pause? Probably not much, at least not right now. Any change in market cap will more likely correlate with how Apple handles Steve Jobs's death and picks up where he left off.
And what about Microsoft? Can it keep IBM at bay and maintain a financial edge?
If nothing else, it goes to show that tech tides always change, and sometimes it takes years to reveal the more complete story behind a few numbers flickering on a screen.

Everybody's Fine Movie Review
In December, Robert De Niro aimed to take advantage of the feel-good holiday spirit with Everybody's Fine, a lighthearted drama about a father trying to reconnect with his grown kids. The movie flopped, and understandably so. The previews did a great job of marketing the movie as a dreadfully boring and forgettable drama. Way to […]
Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief Movie Review
As the Harry Potter franchise heads toward its end, Hollywood is desperately seeking the next big franchise. 20th Century Fox apparently believes that the next big thing is Percy Jackson & the Olympians, a book series by Rick Riordan. Fox has hired Chris Columbus, the director of the first two Harry Potter movies, to kick […]
Edge of Darkness Movie Review
A few years, several bottles of alcohol and an anti-Semitic rant later, Mel Gibson returns to theaters with the revenge thriller Edge of Darkness, directed by Martin Campbell – the man behind Casino Royale and Goldeneye. Though it has struggled at the box office, the movie is a blast, full of stinging dialogue, a gritty […]
Women in Trouble Movie Review
From the writer of Snakes on a Plane comes a very different film: the comedic drama Women in Trouble, which stars an ensemble cast that includes Carla Gugino, Connie Britton, Adrianne Palicki, Marley Shelton, Cameron Richardson, Simon Baker, Josh Brolin, Jospeh Gordon-Levitt and others. Unfortunately, the movie is neither funny nor dramatic. Read FilmJabber's full […]
Lorna's Silence Movie Review
In Lorna's Silence, an Albanian woman is pushed to her moral limits to achieve her dream of opening a snack bar by getting entangled with a local mobster and marrying a druggie for money. When the mobster kills her husband and prepares for another immigrant to take her place, she realizes that she's gotten in […]
Outrage Movie Review
Homosexuality continues to be one of the most divisive issues facing the United States, which is sad because we're a nation supposedly based on the ideals of "freedom and liberty for all." Regardless of how you feel morally about the issue, there should be no arguments over whether it's fair to discriminate people who were […]
Couples Retreat: Where's the Comedy?
Vince Vaughn has declared war on audiences. His pact with the Devil nearly complete, he has punished moviegoers with a trifecta of bad movies starting with 2007's Fred Claus. Four Christmases wasn't nearly as bad, but still terrible. And now, the once-funny actor has given us Couples Retreat, an unfunny and unimpressive romantic comedy that […]
The House of the Devil Movie Review
In a day and age where horror movies are generally defined by how loud and gruesome they can be, it's refreshing to see a movie that harkens back to a quieter, creepier time. In the vein of old Stephen King and the demonic thrillers of the 1970's, House of the Devil unleashes an intoxicatingly engaging […]
The Final Destination Movie Review
Ten years ago, a couple of filmmakers thought of a great idea: create a slasher film without a physical killer, where Death Itself enacts revenge. The result was a surprisingly suspenseful and well made horror movie. Three sequels later, however, all semblance of originality and cleverness has devolved into a 3D spectacle of awfulness. Read […]
Law Abiding Citizen Movie Review – Coming to Blu-Ray
In late October and into November, while box office phenom Paranormal Activity was making headlines, the Gerard Butler-starring action-thriller Law Abiding Citizen was slowly and quietly working its way to a sizable profit. The movie was an afterthought for many reasons – one because it appeared like yet another forgettable Butler flick (he'd already punished […]
The Boys Are Back Movie Review
From the director of Shine comes The Boys Are Back, which is easily one of the more underrated movies of 2009. Now out on DVD and Blu-Ray, the drama doesn't break any new ground but still offers up some fine performances and compelling moments. Read FilmJabber's full The Boys Are Back movie review.
The Book of Eli Movie Review: Almost Good, Not Quite
It's been nearly ten years since we last heard from the Hughes brothers, but they're back with the religiously themed apocalyptic action-thriller The Book of Eli, starring Denzel Washington. The movie looks great and features yet another good performance from the A-list actor, but the movie gets bogged down by its lack of a strong […]
Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus: Worst Movie Ever?
There is a certain point where the quality of a movie deteriorates such that the film transitions from good to bad then to so-bad-its-good. Admittedly, I often enjoy watching the few films which transgress the border between bad and "how in the world did this script get fundedâ€. The issue is there is a level […]
The Lovely Bones Movie Review
Peter Jackson's latest film The Lovely Bones was supposed to be a heavy awards contender. Its release date set for early December, the movie was supposed to make a lot of money and garner several nominations throughout the holidays. And then a few lukewarm reviews appeared, followed by a couple of bad ones. Paramount panicked […]
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus Movie Review
Though many people see Heath Ledger's brilliant performance in The Dark Knight as his last hoorah, the late actor has one more trick up his sleeve: an amnesiac performer in Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. Sadly, the movie doesn't serve as an adequate send-off for the beloved man. Read FilmJabber's full The Imaginarium […]

1994 Mercury Sable Q&A
1994 Mercury Sable Question: rough running engine missing
this condition is not consistant. Some days it seems to be worse than other days. Fuel economy is at half normal ranges. - belloyd
Answer 1
The most likely cause of this for your vehicle is ignition wires. As they get old and weathered the spark starts to leak to ground instead of go to the spark plug as it should, this causes the intermittent jerk surge or rough running. Spark plugs and wires were to be replaced every 60,000 miles on this vehicle so if you have not changed them within these ranges, you should consider changing both items. If you do change the plug and wires, you should inspect the condition of the distributor cap and rotor and replace as necessary. Those are the things I would check or replace first.Good luck. - irvtech

37 year old man | San Francisco, CA, USA | Seeking women 25-36 within 10 miles
Part NYC, Boulder and SF in personality, likes, style and previous mailing addresses.
I enjoy working and playing efficiently hard, the later inclusive of athletic and exploration filled days often social evenings. I have lived in SF for about 2 years and still very much in an exploratory stage with the area. Was a tough decision to leave my beloved Colorado but this place has greatly exceeded expectations. And I had some high ones. Part NYC, Boulder and SF in personality, likes, style and previous mailing addresses. I prefer hugging to handshakes, comfortable wearing a suit in front of a boardroom, full cycling gear, costumes or especially in any bathing suit compatible situations. I feel fortunate I thoroughly enjoy my career, but relish and live for non-working hours just the same as someone that dreads their job. Think my overall curiosity about life, people and new experiences is my one of my best qualities. This propels me to ask a lot of questions, travel often and always seeking to expand my comfort zones and learn new things. Seeking a partner that also craves the exceptional, someone that wants to continuously expand and extend themselves while sharing their findings about life with all those around them. I'm typically trying to pack as much smiling and laughing into a day as possible. Sounds cliche but being legit with that comment. Nothing better than waking up with your cheeks sore from tons of smiling and laughing with friends the day/night before. I work in online advertising in an intense but very fun and rewarding career. While my work environment mirrors a Saturday Night Live skit at times for it's competitiveness and absurdity, I wouldn't want it any other way for this period of my life. I feel I thrive making friends and strangers alike feel comfortable, in a better mood as well feel motivated to push themselves. Delight when people express surprise in how much time they've spent talking to me on a phone call. I enjoy the fine art of sarcasm, yet walking the thin line of not offending. I seek a partner that encompasses as much of this as possible, a fellow enjoyer of life. Passionate. And I use the word partner as the best relationships are true partnerships and I crave someone that both wants to be encouraged as well as can push me mentally, athletically, professionally, playfully, all while enjoying the shared journey.

Basketball, Cycling, Other types of exercise, Running, Skiing, Swimming, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
I've found myself having annual trips to Mexico, be it for music, surfing, temple exploration. I've been lucky enough to take several 3 to 4 week long trips abroad, excited to plan the next one soon. In the meantime, there's plenty to explore in SF
Villanova University, Villanova, PA
I have become quite enthralled with the overall Burning Man culture after being exposed to some wonderful people & events. I feel it ties many aspects of my personality together. Love fashion and shopping. Technology and science are sexy
Love hiking, cycling (road and mountain), running, camping & snowboarding. A big fan of nights out dancing with friends to a wide range electronic music, jam bands, folk, bluegrass... Enjoy discussing politics & world affairs. Love being silly.
Books - Often starting but unfortunately not finishing something on Buddhism, a biography or other nonfiction read that leaves me having learned something new. The Economist has stifled my book-reading more than I'd like, those issues are demanding.

Chapter One
As I sit here in English class, chewing the end of my pencil, I think that life is the queen of the bitches and Monday is definitely her heir to the throne. I denied everyone, including my best friend- ex best friend, Clove from contacting me. She still tries, even if it's just a hi in the hallway or asking me about homework, but I never answer. I am just too busy on the wrong side of the fence, hanging out with the wrong kind of people like Gale Hawthorne, he's on the wrong side of the fence too and he's also my boyfriend.
Normally I skip English class and I have good reason to, this class is as boring as hell, partly because Gale isn't here to pass notes to and mock the teacher, detentions are my weekly thing with Snow the principle after all I do live with the guy... yes that bastard is my grandfather, from my mother's side, he sent her to get her act together after not being able to look after us because my father died. I was doing just fine until he showed up.
"Miss Everdeen care to read the next paragraph?" asked Miss Whatsherface, yes I didn't know her name, like I said I turn up to class much
"Nope," I said popping the p and leaning back into the chair
"Didn't think so," she continued with the class, all teachers did it they didn't give a shit about me they just cared on getting every kid onto college so they would get a promotion, none of them knew my status with Snow so the didn't suck up to me, I was thankful for that at least. The bell rang and I packed my things away hurriedly
"Miss Everdeen," chimed the teacher
"What?" I growled
"Manners!" she screeched and I rolled my mind "I want a word with you," if her annoying voice and eccentric clothing wasn't enough this bitch was first period on Mondays, yes karma's a bitch, and now she wants a word with me. Oh joy! The rest of the class gave me a glace then left the classroom leaving me and the teacher alone "Katniss, dear-"
"What do you want?" I groaned popping a piece of gum into my mouth, spearmint- my favourite
"You are being warned Miss Everdeen, one day that boyfriend of yours wont be around and you will have nowhere to hide,"
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" I growled chewing my gum furiously, the noise it was making my mouth was making her twitch and to be honest I enjoyed watched the freak show of a woman, in front of me.
"Katniss, you've headed down the wrong path, with the smoking and skipping classes,"
"And do I care? Nope." I popped the p much to her aggravation
"You'll end up nowhere in life if you carry on like this," I took my pen knife out from my boot and stabbed it into her desk
"THAT IS MAHOGANY!" she cried
"Listen you old crow," I snapped "I do what I like and this stupid school isn't going to stop me,"
"Remove your pen knife from the desk, Katniss," I whipped it away safely into the hidden pocket in my boot, I rolled my eyes at the shaking woman. "There is another reason why I asked you to stay behind,"
"So what is it? I'm meeting Gale at my locker,"
"Ah Cato dear," she said pulling a boy from outside the classroom "Cato Ludwig this is Katniss Everdeen," I rolled my eyes at her and pulled my satchel up more on my left shoulder, it was hanging down my left side as I had not bothered to hook it across my body.
"Nice to meet you," said the blonde boy holding out his hand, I ignored him and turned back to the crazed woman
"What the fuck do you want me to do with him?" I asked bluntly
"Language!" she shrieked "I want you to show him around, show him what kind of people to hang around with,"
"Oh so he's a good two shoes? And you want to straighten me out? It's not going to work!"
"That's not why Katniss," she said softly
"Then what is it? Huh?"
"I am not in the position to tell," she said finally
"Well screw you," I said walking out the classroom, I was fully aware of the blonde boy, Cato, following behind me. I walked to my lockers and angrily shoved my English folder in. I was skipping second and third no questions asked.
"Hey babe," said a voice from behind me I closed my locker door and went to extreme lip lock with Gale to warn of the newbie that was falling me like a lost puppy. Gale was cool, but I didn't love him or anything, he was just there when I needed him, no questions asked.
"Spearmint my favourite," smiled Gale
"Whore." coughed Peeta Mellark
"Oh fuck off Mellark," Clove spat from down the hallway, I ignored her "Just because you can't get a girl," with that Peeta Mellark and so was Clove was gone and that left me and Gale and unfortunately blonde boy as well.
"Who's this?" asked Gale gesturing towards Cato
"English teacher's idea of straightening me out," I smirked looking at Gale who was towering above me with his arm blocking my view to the left but letting me look to my right, at Cato
"Trinket huh?"
"Like I give a fuck," I said truthfully
"So Blondie... what's your name?"
"Cato Ludwig," he said uncertainly
"The name's Gale Hawthorne, this is my girlfriend Katniss Everdeen and I'm sure you should get to next class," he said as the bell signalled the end of break
"So should you," he said slyly
"We've got a free period," lied Gale
"As if," Cato muttered, Gale chose not to hear with that the Cato guy walked off and Gale and I walked to the woods. Hopefully Cato would leave well alone, I didn't want my secrets getting out.
Gale and I said watching the sun on the lake, his arm was laid over my shoulder as he sat behind me slightly.
"Let me see your arms Katniss," he said suddenly, he was the only one who knew just because my sleeve had rolled up slightly, it was by pure accident, coincidently he asked me to be his girlfriend after because he said I was beautiful even with the scars.
"No," I said firmly, not looking at him but I felt his eyes on me
"Gale, I said no!" with that he pinned me to the ground and pulled up the sleeves of my black hoodie, he saw the new scars.
"When did you do it?" he asked getting off me and sitting down, I got up, pulled my sleeves down and zipped up my hoodie slightly
"Saturday... Prim wasn't there," I added the last part quickly
"I thought you stopped,"
"I'm sorry," I said covering my face, he made no attempt to comfort me because he couldn't, because he didn't understand. Because he was Gale and I was alien to him.
It was lunch and I had to use the bathroom and told Gale to go get our spot on the quad. Once I exited the bathroom I was immediately approached by Clove.
"Katniss..." she began but I didn't answer "Please, I want my best friend back," I sighed in response "Katniss, stop pushing me away like this, you must need a girl to talk to sometimes and not just Prim," she touched my shoulder but I pushed her hand away "Katniss, you've been lost in all the craziness now Finn is gone and then... well you know, Katniss I miss you, Finn misses you, we Skype every night and he always asks about you! We want our best friend back," I pushed past her and began walking to the quad until Cato started walking next to me
"What was that all about?" he asked concerned
"Nothing you need to worry about,"
"So are you going to tell me why you're acting as some bad ass bitch that rules the school with her emo boyfriend?" I just slapped him, I wasn't a violent person but my hand made contact with his face, people looked but I didn't care, today would be over soon. Like I said Monday's the heir to the bitch's throne.
"Don't you dare. You don't know a thing about me or what I've been through ad don't you dare make jokes about Gale so why don't you just fuck off to wherever you came from because I don't want to hear it," I said leaving him in the hallway alone, shocked.
I joined Gale at our spot on the quad. I get a ride on his bike home as I would never accept a ride from Snow, even if I had to walk. When I got home I twisted the screw out of my pencil sharpener and held the blade between my thumb and fore finger letting it shine in the light but the blonde boy with ice blue eyes wouldn't leave my mind. Even with the red sheen of blood dripping down my arms all I could see were those two ice blue eyes. His ice blue eyes.
What did you think? Reviews please, could really get into this one! Possibly thirty chapters or more!
