I'm a big fan of science and technology as well as humans. I like the transhumanist movement and was just wondering what your thoughts and feelings are about it?
Please stay on topic and don't obsessively talk about how religion is mostly anti-human etc. I already know that. :P
I'm more interested in how humanity can be better, have more enjoyable lives and evolve in positive ways. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhumanism
Thanks and I look forward to your ideas and perspectives. :)
I'm going to try to get out everything I have to say in the next hour.
I agree with you and understand what you are saying about biological evolution. It is what it is. That is irrefutable.
You also have a valid point that as long as we live on this planet we can't ignore the impact that the physical environment will have on us as a species such as a rapid biodiversity loss due to the breaking down of an ecosystem or a cataclysmic event such as the eruption of a super-volcano, which could destroy civilization and potentially most life on this planet as we know it. As an animal that because too dependent on technology and should such a situation arise where the backbone that allows for the creation of that technology is lost, it would be detrimental to the species as a whole as our dependency on that technology for our survival will essentially lead us into a great big hole that is our grave.
Realistically, half the world would die at least in such a scenario, because half of the world's population lives in cities and probably has little concept of what food looks like outside a store or a restaurant.
What you don't seem to be getting is that as we progress in our level of technology, biological evolution essentially becomes obsolete. We can overcome the the shortcomings of our randomly selected DNA. If someone is born blind, we can give them eyes. If some one was born with a cleft palate, we can fix that. If someone was born with a congenital heart defect, we can give them a new heart. The idea of transhumanism is really to become master of one's biology. As you've indicated, you think this is makes us "weaker" because it allows what would in a more primitive time be non-survivable genetic traits to be passed on. I say it makes us stronger. How long would it take one man to chop down a tree to gather wood for a house? Should he even use a stone axe? That's technology after all. Maybe he shouldn't even worry about building a shelter. Maybe he should just sleep in a tree like his ancestors of millions of years ago. He could, but there are reasons that his ancestors came down from the trees. There are reasons we he seeks to build a shelter. There are reasons he now cuts down trees with a saw rather than an axe. Those reasons are because it has made it easier for the species to survive and thrive. Besides, as you have noted multiple times, unless such variations are "successfully passed on to future generations of breeders thereby successfully affecting the species as a whole, then you don't call it evolution." In that sense, our technology has not made as weaker evolutionarily, because we still posses the mostly the same genes as a species that our ancestors did half a million years ago. I don't think that's really going to change in the next 200 hundred years or so until we have a better understanding of how each gene mutation or series of mutations affects our physiology. While we may no longer breed with the idea of just biological fitness in mind (we have included a social aspect as well), biological fitness certainly does still play a part.
With technology, we are far stronger than we nature could have built us. We can now quickly and easily adapt to every environment this world has to offer to include environments where nothing else can live: the vacuum of space. It is because of our technology that we have not just survived, but have thrived to the point of dominating every ecosystem we have encountered. That has become a double-edged sword. Our ability to use technology to survive has reached a point where we are not changing the local environments, but the global ones. An argument can be made that the way we have been using the technology that has enabled us to grow our numbers so much so quickly now threatens our very survival. The crux of that argument is that it is not technology that threatens our survival, but how we use it that does. It is our behavior, not simply our technology that will determine our survival.
I think that a balance can be reached. Just as our species created rules that allowed societies to form that increased the survival chances of the individual, we can (and I think will) create new rules governing the use of technology to do the same. There are already vocal movements in the developed world for sustainability, green technology and healthy lifestyles. We are adapting our behavior to the new environment the we have created. Transhumanism is one more behavioral adaptation to the environment we are ever creating for ourselves. Only with transhumanism, we won't be changing our external environment to increase our survivability, we will be changing ourselves for the same purpose.
I can tell you obviously don't agree that this is something that we should do, but regardless it is where we are moving. Of course, that is if there are no cataclysmic events between then and now.
Thanks TAA and Sagacious Hawk. I enjoy the depth of your arguments. I have seen Wall-E and found it to be rather unrealistic like most movies. hahaha I only hope for the best of all worlds and futures, is that too much to ask for? hahahaha I'm joking, of course.
I accept the good with the bad and do my best with both. I think sometimes the word "technology" has a misconception of cold, metal, mechanical, anti-environmental/nature, outside of the soft gooey human and biological world. It is unfortunate to me that Hollywood and others view technology this way but that doesn't reflect all of the reality.
Those are aesthetic choices when viewing or thinking about technology and they are mostly arbitrary. I see technology as being part of the organic and inorganic connections within the web of reality and the cosmos.
Humans are one piece of the puzzle and yes it will all go on without us as it does all over the galaxy and beyond. But since I'm still a human and live in the human world, I have no other choice but to try to live as well as I can as a human and hopefully help others enjoy being human too. Transhumanistic technology is just a possible evolutionary step among many possibilities.
I'm just a fan of it just like I'm a fan of things like Doctor Who, Star Trek, many other shows, biomedical tech, computer or food tech, 3D printing/manufacturing, gadgets, nature programs, the natural world outside, human observation/interactions, comedic people or any other interesting idea, person or thing.
I hold no explicit vested or professional or philosophical loyalty to any of these things. I just find pleasure in these ideas, environments, possibilities or people that are part of these types of things that I find interesting.
Yes, I know that personal preferences can be based on circular logic most of the time. hahaha I do go in circles in my own mind quite often. :P I hope that no matter what your perspectives may be, that you are all enjoying life to the fullest or in the best ways you see fit. Life is very short and precious, employ it wisely. :)
Three words: Power corrupts; beware!
"Power corrupts; Absolute power corrupts absolutely;
God is all-powerful. Draw your own conclusions."
I included this link to try to keep this conversation on topic but I'm fine with tangents as long as they are not wholesale usurpations of the whole conversation about transhumanism/technology.
What do you think will happen as science figures out/creates new micro environments and structures?
Using technological advancements and innovation to positively adapt the human body to our changing environment is exciting. Being modified to extend longevity would be something to consider for instance. But if we are talking about replacing the natural evolution of our species with DNA-oriented body modification then that is something I am not necessarily comfortable with. Is our current/future understanding sufficient to avoid creating unforeseen flaws in our very genetic makeup? I don't think so and I could not be a willing participant.
Were any of us willing participants when we were born? hahaha The "natural" argument is an odd one to me. Are not humans part of "nature"? So if we guide our own evolution, are we not just naturally evolving but with the added possible benefit of it being a sentient choice how that happens? Also, our ignorance has never stopped us from trying in the past. The main way to get rid of ignorance is to try or experience new things. I'm one that is more on the excited side than the afraid side when it comes to exploring new technologies.
That sounds good, but (at least in the case of what Ed's saying), it ignores the potential damages done to people and humanity before we "get it right".
I'll bet that the ethics of cloning will come up in a serious way, even before the more classically imagined, Transhumanism scenarios. IMO, there's nothing wrong with creating duplicate organisms, like twins, but the looming issue is about how to clone successfully, without damage to the organism.
As far as customizing our own genes, we're almost ready to do that now, by replacing unhealthy genes in an egg with healthy genes from another mother. But it takes time to work out, and I think you might at least admit that an "all speed ahead" or cultic/dogmatic, form of Transhumanism can be very damaging. There is plenty of evidence out there in the world that shows how powerful science and technology can be abused, so to me, this is a human rights issue that needs to consider the possible cons, as well as the pros.
A couple of years ago, a company in South Korea began cloning people's pets. A few went well, but the company got shut down, apparently there were some pretty funky results.
When we evolve naturally, we do so on the basis of need. Evolution by "sentient choice" involves a perceived need, but perceived by whom? Based on what? The concept really raises more questions than it answers.
But right at this instant, there is no visible evolution happening. The most recent genetic leap to occur in H.sapiens was lactase persistence, showing up +/- 5000 y/a in Northern Europe, and independently among the Massai more recently. Both of these mutations are spreading rapidly and will have conquered Asia and South America within a century quite possibly. But that's about it. The most noteworthy aspect of human biology at this point is extreme outbreeding, causing a homogenisation of our miscellaneous gene pools.
There is a gradual weakening of the H.sapiens health (outside medical intervention) due everyone and anyone accessing the breeding process, which is not normally (in nature) taken on by all individuals in a group. But most biologists are of the opinion that this has not yet had a genetic impact, as if there was a sudden meltdown of civilisation, all the weaklings and dependents would quickly die out, leaving only the fittest individuals to breed. Whether this new human genetic makeup would be identical before global demise vs after, is still a matter of contention among biologists, but most assume it would be the same. Where I live in Yukon there are still a fair number of almost genetically pure indigenous peoples, and there are pockets of this diversity left here and there on the planet, though we are in the very last generations of this genetic diversity. In 50 years, this conversation would likely have a different direction.
RE: "But right at this instant, there is no visible evolution happening." - that shouldn't surprise anyone, as evolution is rarely visible, operating as it normally does, over millennia.

Modern and Contemporary Art The City 1919 Fernand Léger, French, 1881 - 1955 Oil on canvas * Special Exhibition Galleries, first floor (Dorrance Galleries) 1952-61-58 A. E. Gallatin Collection, 1952 |
LabelThis painting captures the staccato rhythms of a modern urban environment, and the broad panorama of its buildings, scaffolding, and bridges. These architectural elements are punctuated by such signs of city life as shop window mannequins, rounded plumes of smoke, and a telephone pole, all rendered in bold, vibrant colors. Léger even included his own initials, "F L," among the array of stenciled letters, evoking the colorful billboard posters of the time.ProvenanceA. E. Gallatin, New York, purchased from the artist, with the assistance of George L. K. Morris, 1936 [1]; bequest to PMA, 1952. 1. See letter of January 1937 in which Léger informs Gallatin that the painting has been shipped (Gallatin Papers, New York Historical Society, microfilm). Morris owned a half share of the painting (along with Picasso's "Three Musicians"), which he later sold to the Gallatin estate; see Gail Stavitsky, The Development, Institutionalization, and Impact of the A. E. Gallatin Collection of Modern Art [Ph.D. dissertation, New York University], 1990, v. 2, p. 356-357, and v. 7, p. 143.* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons. Although gallery locations on the website are updated regularly, there is no guarantee that this object will be on display on the day of your visit. |

I was just wondering what would be the best way/if possible to shed some stomach fat while putting on a good bit of muscle? I havent been working out as much lately due to my college classes so i lost some muscle. Ive been trying to eat clean and am currently taking gnc thermo CLA's to burn some of the stomach fat, and also taking creatine(not sure if it contradicts the fact im taking CLA's since it takes out water weight) multiv and protein to try and put on some more lean muscle. Ive gotten around 6% BF last summer and i was just wondering if anyone had any tips on gaining a good amount of muscle while still losing some stomach fat (workout tips,eating tips,supplements to try, etc.)
Thanks for the Help!!!!!

Coconut Cream Poke Cake
89 comments:
I attended a function in Texas a few years back and they served this cake. The lady who made it gave my Aunt and I the recipe and I have shared it many times.
It is our "favorite" cake! My darling husband thinks he is the luckiest husband in the world when I bake this cake for him. When Papa is happy, Mama is happy!!
Thanks for sharing. Sunny- AnonymousMay 22, 2012 at 12:59 PM
My mom had her own cake business growing up and she had a recipe very similar to this. She would get a can of crushed pineapple and stir the juice of it with the cream of coconut and use the Pineapple on the cake itself. It was a top seller and my personal favorite!
ReplyDelete - Jennifer C.May 22, 2012 at 6:01 PM
This was always a family favorite this time of the year, especially for Easter. My aunt would always make it. Now I make it. The only difference in my recipe and yours is I mix a can of sweetened condensed milk to the cream of coconut before pouring over the cake. Oh so gooey and rich! Also my recipe calls for the yellow cake mix with the pudding in the mix (which I never can find anymore of I just use the butter recipe cake mix now).
ReplyDelete - Jennifer C.May 22, 2012 at 6:03 PM
Oh and I forgot I also add a an of drained crushed pineapple to the top of the cake before spreading on the cool whip.

I just discovered your blog, and Im sooo excited! Trying this one today, and look forward to many more! Thanks!
ReplyDelete I just found your blog through pinterest. I make a version of this cake and its always a hit. I add coconut milk powder to a can of condensed sweetened milk because I can't find coconut cream. I also add crushed pineapple to my topping - usually real whipped cream. Its so tropical tasting and delicious.

I make this with a devils food mix and poke holes to the bottom with a wooden spoon and mix the cream of coconut with eagle brand and pour it in the holes, refrigerate and then top with cool whip a yummy summer cake!

Hi! Just found your poke cake recipes! Thanks for sharing! Just wanted to let you know that my family has been making a version of the coconut cake for years. It's one of our favorites! For our version we combine a can of Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk with the Coco Lopez. I thought you might want to try it! Thanks again!

I too love coconut. I just discovered your site today and am looking forward to using this recipe.
But I was thinking I might use a chocolate cake mix instead. My favorite candy bar is Mounds; dark chocolate & coconut. Also I find it most annoying when I have to mess around
separating egg whites from the yoke.
Thank you for sharing your delicious sounding recipes. - mramz37September 3, 2012 at 9:20 PM
I made this cake today for my family and it was amazing. The only thing I did differently was used a Duncan Hines Coconut Supreme Cake instead of a white cake. It is taking every once of my willpower not to go back into the kitchen and get another piece right now! My husband and family loved it--and we aren't even likers of coconut. :) Thanks for the recipe!

I made this yesterday morning for a birthday bash for a former neighbor. There were 7 of us neigbhors that helped her celebrate and they all loved it right away. It is such a light cake, absolutely delicious! For those who are having trouble finding Coco Lopez, I found it in the baking section with canned milk. Harris Teeter sells it in 8.5 oz. cans to to make up the 15 oz. I had to open both cans but the second can I only used 6 1/2 oz. of it..Sometimes you will find it in with cocktail mixers..it is thick like sweetened condensed milk. I think out of a 9x13 glass dish, there may be 3 pieces left. I did share two pieces with a neighbor last evening. I'm going to try the oreo poke cake next.

Brought this to a teen bible study group tonight and it was a huge hit! People got seconds, and others tried to, unsuccessfully...disappointed that it was all gone! I too mixed the Cream of Coconut with sweetened condensed milk and thought it was wonderful (though I think it would've been amazing exactly as posted too). Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!
ReplyDelete - Betty819February 18, 2013 at 1:55 AM
This cake was "out of this world delicious" Everybody asked for a second piece..
I will definately make this often. Would you believe my local Harris Teeter store had Coco Lopez in with canned milk? I looked in all the other stores in aisle where cocktail mixers would be. - AnonymousMarch 8, 2013 at 12:32 PM

Could this be done in 2 8-inch round pans, then after cooled, stack it with the whipped topping & coconut in-between? Can't wait to taste this, either way! Thank you SOOO much for sharing the recipe!
ReplyDeleteReplies- AnonymousMay 15, 2013 at 12:57 PM
Yes, yes you can. And you don't have to 'poke' the cake-if you split the layers in half, pour the coco lopez evenly across all four, then let it soak in the fridge for a couple of hours.
- AnonymousMay 15, 2013 at 12:55 PM
If you make instant vanilla pudding (according to the package directions), add 1/2 tsp coconut extract, then mix it in with the cool whip, the frosting is better! Toasting the coconut is also a nice touch.
ReplyDelete - Lynn SchutterMay 16, 2013 at 9:36 AM
My cake is in the oven right now. Can't wait to try this cake. It sounds yummy and looks even better. Thanks for all these great recipes that use stuff that I normally have around the house. Nothing fancy, just tastes that way.

I recently made a layer cake very similar to this and found it was delicious! I must add that this recipe was shared with me by a friends mother and to be honest I thought it sounded terrible when she told me what we were going to do....LOL...but I was there to help and this is what we did and it turned out to be awesome!
The difference was the following:
Make three 8 or 9" layers, poke holes in all 3.
You will need to make a "filling" using a 16 oz tub of sour cream, approx. 2 cups of powdered sugar and a large hand full of flaked coconut. We didn't measure each of these items exactly, we just judged as we went with it to make a good filling consistency with the amount of coconut we thought would be desirable.
Starting with the first layer pour the cream of coconut over it lightly and allow to "seep" in.
Spread a layer of the "filling" over the cake layer.
Follow with the next two layers in the same fashion.
Once your cake is assembled and the cream of coconut and filling is applied to each layer frost entire cake with whipped topping and garnish with flaked coconut. - AnonymousJuly 30, 2013 at 4:00 PM
Have you ever made this as a round, layer cake? I think it would make for a prettier presentation at a party.

I have made this cake for years, it is one of my favorite cakes of all time, but I use the cream of coconut and also mix a can of sweetened condensed milk with it and pour over the cake then top with the whipped topping and then shredded coconut. It is always a winner when taken to any family event or get together.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousSeptember 9, 2013 at 9:05 AM
Goya, which is a Spanish/Latino/Hispanic line of products IS carried in Walmart and they have the cream of coconut, under $2.00. This cake is awesome with lots of ohhhs and ahhhh,
ReplyDelete I have made this cake many times!! I usually put some coconut into the cake batter before I bake it and then I stir the rest of the coconut into the whipped topping before frosting the cake. It's kind of lumpy looking but keeps the coconut from drying out. If you want, you can sprinkle a little reserved coconut on top so you don't see the lumpy frosting. Once I made a chocolate ganache and spread that over the topping and it tasted exactly like a Mounds bar!! Let the ganache cool some so it doesn't melt the topping though!! Extra yummy and delicious!! :)

I make this cake for Christmas every year. I put pineapple juice instead of water in the cake mix and left over fruit from the can on top of the cake before I frost it, and then pecans on top of the frosting. My family insists I make this cake every Christmas. I enjoy reading and trying your recipes. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing, anytime I make a coconut cake I always use coconut milk instead of water in the cake mix, comes out very rich and people wonder what my secret is, but this adds even more richness I will have to try using both and see how that works. Yummmy Thanks again.
ReplyDelete I made this cake for my daughter's birthday, and everyone raved about it. The next day my daughter said again how yummy it was. After reading all reviews, I did add 3/4 of a can of sweetened condensed milk. I think I could have used the whole can as I did not find the cake "overly" sweet. This cake was so easy to make. I made it the day before, then refrigerated it.

I think between the coconut cream layer and the whipped cream layer it would be good with a layer of raspberry jam. yum

CNN iReporter Meera Vijayann, a consultant for a non-governmental organization from Bangalore, India, said sexual harassment is a daily problem for women -- but it was the horrific nature of the New Delhi attack and the brazenness of the alleged perpetrators that frightened so many people.
Despite calls for harsher punishments for those who carry out such crimes, Vijayann feels only a change in attitudes and culture will truly bring about change.
"There is a sexist mindset, politicians have made silly remarks about women and how they should wear modest clothes, not go to parties ... if they make the laws how will it benefit us?" she asked. "People have to change the way they think."
India's Supreme Court will hear a petition Thursday asking it to suspend all lawmakers who face charges for crimes against women. The petition was filed in the aftermath of the brutal gang rape, which sent thousands of outraged protesters to the streets for days.
"This unfortunate episode has galvanized the nation," said Jagdeep S. Chhokar, an official with the Association for Democratic Reforms, which tracks political candidates' criminal records.
Chhokar said six Indian state lawmakers are facing rape charges in unrelated cases, and two people in the federal parliament are also facing charges of crimes against women that fall short of rape.
The group says that in the past five years, political parties across India have nominated 260 candidates facing charges of crimes against women such as assault and outraging the modesty of a woman.

This is hot off the press, Heroic LK 25 man is now dead. It's a shitty screenshot and I didn't fraps it, plan on doing it again next week and recording it.
Got a log of it, although detection is broken in typical fashion. The damage done (103m to LK) clearly shows that it's just a detection error.
As far as I know I'm the only paladin who's done this (excluding level 80 scum obviously), and among only a handful who can do it at all. Will hold my tongue on the ##world first paladin 2013 like and follow## though.
Sadly I didn't expect to kill it that attempt, had a 12% wipe prior and was expecting it to be a fight for the next 1%. Plan to record next week because I know there'd be people interested in seeing it, since next tier it'll be fairly easy for a prot paladin to solo farm their invincible, even if no one will be able to see it.
Grats, Choice. Much love to all you Suit Up babes.
I am very interested in seeing the video/strategy for a prot paladin to solo Heroic LK 25.
I'll get one up hopefully next week, I play off a laptop so I'll need to dip it in liquid nitrogen to get a decent quality video out of it.
Anything I post I don't feel will be widely accessible until next tier since according to WoWprogress I'm tied for the most geared Prot in the world. But come 5.2 with the gear reset it should be far more manageable.
I say that because the DPS check is so so tight and literally working myself down to the bone marrow I barely made it.

Tanking with the Blessing of Kings - The TankSpot Guide to the Protection Paladin - Updated for Patch 5.4!
Its no heroic Lk, but I thought I would put this on here in case anyone wanted to see it. Its a 25 man Yogg kill, using all keepers, Enjoy.
Not sure if anyone's interested in this sort of solo'ing, but I did Heroic Scholo solo today, had a few achieves I wanted to get done (Attention to Detail and School's Out Forever), took quite awhile, but was relatively easy. Can't get School's Out though as he doesn't give you a time out if you're alone
Will be attempting first boss of ScarM, GotSS, Siege of N. Temple, Stormstout and the Quillen in Mogu Palace within the next few days.
Not sure how the instances are now that they nerfed SoI. Though previously managed to solo almost every instance. Think it was only third boss in jade serpent and two last in shadopan that I didn't manage. Though alot of those would probably not be doable anymore with that SoI nerf. ( Though the SoI nerf makes some bosses easier ). Think that jade serpent and shadopan should be doable now with the single target buff.
I am so tired of seeing terrible people, being admired, for being terrible people.
Would any awesome Paladin solo-er be interested in making a short guide to soloing the bosses of ICC 25 normal? I am very interested in this, and am sure others are as well!
Got the 25 HM LK kill on flaps, its a really sloppy kill but its all there. Will upload it tomorrowish. Get keen.

Linux-Kongress: Keynote Videos Online
The videos show James Bottomley, Jonathan Corbet and Dirk Hohndel holding their keynotes at Linux-Kongress last week.
The director of the Linux Foundation and Linux SCSI developer, James Bottomley opened the Linux-Kongress in Hamburg, Germany this week with a keynote investigating the commonalities and differences among the various Open Source operating systems. He didn't mince words, when he called OS X a luxury jail.
In the second keynote of the Linux-Kongress in Hamburg, Germany, cofounder of LWN.net and kernel developer Jonathan Corbet presented details on yesterday's released Kernel 2.6.27, but also described some of the work Linus Torvalds and his group of hackers have been up to.
In the closing speech of the Linux Kongress in Hamburg, Intel's CTO Dirk Hohndel appealed to the developer community to orientate themselves more strongly on the needs of users.
Linux New Media has been streaming the keynotes of Linux-Kongress October 9-10 live and for free. Now the streaming videos are online and can be watched for free anytime.

Real Clear World
January 29, 2013
by Jaime Daremblum
A few years ago, Dilma Rousseff appeared to be one of the luckiest politicians on Earth. In October 2010, she easily won election as Brazilian president, defeating former São Paulo governor José Serra by 12 percentage points in their second-round runoff. She achieved this lopsided victory despite a noticeable lack of charisma, and despite being a onetime Marxist revolutionary. Her trump card was an endorsement from the outgoing president, Lula da Silva, for whom Rousseff had worked as a cabinet officer. Lula was so popular that his support was more than enough to push her over the top.
Rousseff took office on New Year's Day 2011, and she inherited a resource-rich economy that had grown by 7.5 percent in 2010. She also inherited a world-famous anti-poverty program (Bolsa Família) that has helped millions of Brazilians ascend to the middle class. During the first months of her presidency, it seemed as if Brazil would continue thriving. In August 2011, after the U.S. credit downgrade and the European debt crisis rattled global financial markets, Rousseff bragged about her country's relative stability: "This is the second time that a crisis affects the world, and it is the second time that Brazil doesn't shake."
Unfortunately for Lula's protege, Brazil did shake in 2012: Its exports declined by 5.3 percent; its annual inflation rate stayed close to 6 percent; and its economy barely grew at all, expanding by less than 1 percent. The causes of the downturn ranged from an overvalued currency to an economic slowdown in China, Brazil's largest trading partner. Last month, Brazil's current-account deficit hit a record high, with the country's trade surplus nearly 41 percent lower than it was in December 2011.
To be sure, the World Bank projects that the Brazilian economy will grow by 3.4 percent this year, and Finance Minister Guido Mantega has estimated that it could grow by as much as 4 percent. But the years of super-fast "catch-up growth" are clearly over. "Anyone expecting a return to the boom times," writes Brazil expert Kenneth Rapoza, is "in for a rude awakening."
In other words, Rousseff's luck is running out. Boosting real growth will require Brazil to adopt major supply-side reforms. The country can no longer simply depend on a rapidly expanding labor force and surging commodity exports. Instead, it must embrace policies that increase economic freedom and bolster its overall competitiveness. In short, Rousseff must cut the notorious "Brazil cost" that makes South America's biggest country such an expensive and difficult place to do business.
For all the good that Lula did in promoting low inflation and economic stability, he made very little progress on structural reform. During his presidency, which lasted from 2003 to 2011, Brazil's score in the Heritage Foundation's Index of Economic Freedom declined by 11 percent. For that matter, the World Bank now ranks Brazil 156th out of 180 countries or territories for the ease of paying business taxes, and 130th for the ease of doing business overall. It also ranks Brazil 143rd for the ease of resolving insolvency, which highlights the need for serious bankruptcy reform. In both the Index of Economic Freedom and the Ease of Doing Business Index, Brazil places far behind Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru.
Thus far, Rousseff's record has been decidedly mixed. On the positive side, she has taken a firm stand against political corruption, demanding the resignations of seven government ministers who were caught up in scandals. In addition, there have now been more than two dozen convictions in the so-called mensalão case, a congressional bribery scandal that dates back to the Lula presidency. (These convictions included a lengthy prison term for Lula's former chief of staff, José Dirceu.) Many Brazilian reformers are hopeful that the mensalão trials could mark a turning point in their battle against a longstanding culture of impunity.
Rousseff should be congratulated for her anti-corruption vigilance, as well as her efforts to privatize certain infrastructure projects and thereby improve the quality of Brazil's airports, railways, roads, and seaports. The Brazilian president has also slashed payroll and electricity taxes to ease the tax burden on companies and consumers alike.
On the negative side, Rousseff has attempted to drive down Brazilian electricity rates even further by strong-arming utility firms. In early December, Reuters reported that her intervention had "wiped more than $15 billion off the book value of Brazilian power companies," with the Norwegian investment fund Stavanger (part-owner of the Brazilian utility Eletrobras) losing roughly $200 million. Brazil has endured several massive blackouts since Rousseff announced the rate cuts on Sept. 6.
Meanwhile, her government's treatment of the multinational energy giant Chevron following a relatively small November 2011 oil spill has been outrageous. Indeed, the editors of Latinvex, an online business journal, note that "foreign oil companies are having trouble recruiting executives to Brazil" because of the "scandalous" punishments imposed on Chevron, which have included enormous fines and the threat of 31-year jail terms for various executives.
Finally, Rousseff has not been bold enough on privatization. "After selling 51 percent stakes in three airports last February," observes The Economist, her government "got cold feet and spent the rest of the year sounding out foreign operators to see if any would consider bidding for minority shares in the next round of auctions. Only when it found no takers did it decide to continue to sell off controlling stakes."
With a general election scheduled for October 2014, Rousseff is still very popular, probably because the national unemployment rate remains quite low. But there are no politically easy fixes to Brazil's deep-rooted economic challenges. The only way to get faster real growth over the long term is to enact controversial but necessary supply-side reforms. As Brazilian-American economist José Scheinkman recently told the Financial Times, "We have to do the tough stuff."

Google Offers $30 Million Bounty for Private Moon Landing
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Google, Misc. Tech, Science
We suppose that Google is not satisfied with its new Sky, but then again maybe they have just gone a tad space loony. The company has offered a $30 million reward to the first private company that sends a robotic rover to the moon and sends back a gigabyte of images.
Partnered with the X Prize Foundation, who hosted the contest that sent non-astronauts into space, Google says that the rules involve the device traveling at least 1,312 feet across the surface and having high-def video and still cameras to send self-portraits, panoramic views, and near-real time videos. More details will become available during the WIRED Nextfest in LA this week.

PanImages Search Handles Hundreds of Languages
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Google, Internet
The University of Washington and its Professor Oren Etzoni released PanImages at the recent Machine Translation Summit in Copenhagen. Instead of searching for photos by text that may not be recognizable, the system recognizes a string of letters in about 300 different languages and looks for them in Google and Flickr. In a recent test of the process, PanImages found 57 times more results than on an average search.
The procedure works by scanning machine readable wiktionaries. As an example, Etzioni said that if you type in the Zulu word for refrigerator ("ifriji') you would get almost 500,000 results as opposed to 2 on available search engines. While we seem to be over-saturated with images by using English, it is a comfort to know that the Zulus will be able to find appliances with less of an effort now.

Google Blogger, beware! Fake entries containing links to downloads can infect your Windows run PC. Computers that catch the virus are checked for saleable data or used as carriers. The links began in January by hackers dubbed "Storm Trojans" and may actually been have set up for allowing others to view e-mail entries on their Blogger Journals. Here are some of the storm worm subject lines:
- are you kidding me? lol
- Dude dont send that stuff to my home email…
- Dude your gonna get caught, lol
- HAHAHAHAHAHA, man your insane!
- I cant belive you did this
- LMAO, your crazy man
- LOL, dude what are you doing
- man, who filmed this thing?
- oh man your nutz
- OMG, what are you thinking
Some of the messages feature links to YouTube while others claim to be offering testing software or digital greeting cards. The group has reportedly infected over a million PCs in that time. We suggest it might be time to get a Mac, run Firefox, or find another outlet for your blogging.

Toby Heap thought Mark's idea was such a good one that Blackle was created. The site reports that just since its Febuary release, 95,918.333 watt hours have been saved. You know that Gear Live is trying to help the world become a greener place, so we thought we would give it a try and found that the darkened screen not only worked fine, it had a nice Zen effect. Everybody say "O-h-h-h-m-m-m."

So we've already told you about iPod My Baby, cute tees and onesies that make your infant resemble a cute, giant iPod. Awww. Now comes Goo Goo, the aptly-named onesie for Google/internet/tech fanatics who love the world's most ubiquitous search engine. Very cute (we especially love the "I'm Feeling Silly" button), we just hope your bundle of joy isn't labeled a "geek" by the ruffian infants at Mommy and Me class.

Google's Hot Trends Shows What People are Searching For
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Google, Internet
The hard-working folks at Google have just introduced a new feature called Hot Trends, which combines aspects of their "Zeitgeist" and "Trends" products, both of which offer insight into internet search habits. But while Zeitgeist and Trends are based on weeks-old data, Hot Trends lists the 100 fastest moving "search trends" and is updated several times a day. Hot Trends should not be confused with the term "most popular topics", which according to researchers, always revolve around—you guessed it—sex (Hot Trends weeds out porn and "inappropriate language"). Searched trends can range from a newly popular political phrase to a lyric in a hit song to what kids are researching to prepare for tomorrow's big exam. And of course, if you click on a Hot Trend, Google provides links to relevant web, news and blog sites. Furthermore, Google is expanding Hot Trends to include charts and additional data, so we can see how a trend changes over time, or even how it varies across US regions and 70 different countries. Curious? Click here to check out Hot Trends.

My Google is Better Than Your Google
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Google, Internet, Misc. Tech
Have you ever Googled an individual company to find out if they are reputable? For that matter, have you ever Googled yourself or your spouse/partner just to see who gets the most results? It turns out that nowadays people are using the search engine on prospective dates to help fill in some of blanks before they meet. Katie Laird, a 24-year-old Web marketing professional, tells her friends to "use the power of Google to their advantage."
Try it, if you have not before. You can often find blogs, resumes, e-mail and address listings, or hidden fetishes listed on MySpace. Just remember the wise words of Ms. Laird, "Don't Google what you can't handle."

Google Earth Maps War Torn Darfur
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Google, Internet, Misc. Tech, Software
Having reported on Google's being criticized for its mapping coverage after Katrina, we now see that they may be making up for their faux pas. The site, teamed with U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, will help call attention to the deplorable conditions in Darfur by mapping high-res satellite images of the area.
The UN estimates that more than 200,000 people have been killed and 2.5 million displaced in the last four years. Google is utilizing tent icons to mark refugee camps and flame icons to represent villages that have been destroyed. Click on one of the flames and you get the village's name and statistics about its devastation. Our kudos to Google Earth for working to uncover a problem that others keep trying to overlook.

Thailand and YouTube Continue to Clash
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Google, Internet
In the latest installment of Thailand vs. YouTube, the site has said that it would prefer the country block items as opposed to having the whole site banned.
"While we will not take down videos that do not violate our policies, and will not assist in implementing censorship, we have offered to educate the Thai ministry about YouTube and how it works," said Julie Supan, head of global communications.
The original clip, which was critical of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, was taken off, but was quickly replaced by two others which YouTube will not remove. Minister Sitthichai Pookaiyaudom said his country would consider ending the ban when they have ability to block the offensive pages.

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
Injuries didn't help either with Simon Zebo now ruled out of the remainder of the tournament with a broken foot and both Jonny Sexton (hamstring) and Mike McCarthy (medial ligament) out of the trip to Murrayfield next Sunday.
England's victory puts them in pole position in the RBS 6 Nations title but O'Brien remains adamant that Ireland can still claim their first crown since 2009, provided they lower their error count.
"There's still a lot to play for. The Six Nations is and it isn't out of our own hands," he said.
"If we leave ourselves in the best possible shape, there will be a slip-up somewhere for the other teams down the line.
"We're looking forward to getting back on the horse against Scotland. It's a good game for both teams. "Our errors, as a team and as individuals, stand out from the England game. They cost us.
"A few of them happened within minutes of each other and put us under a bit of pressure and they kicked a couple of scores from that."

Many Edmontonians took to Twitter on Tuesday to complain about a stinky smell blanketing the city.
TheStay@HomeFeminist tweeted "Seriously South Edmonton Common! Why do you smell like a giant pile of elephant poo?? #yeg #smellslike." In response @Miss_Scarlett said "it's the whole city, as far as I can tell! Incredibly rank in the SE of #yeg as well."
Some people, like @JulianRossi, used it as an opportunity to joke about the upcoming election, "Interesting. Apparently no one knows why the city smells like feces today. Too much politik lately? #yeg."
But @revrecluse's guess was close when he tweeted, "Is the Rodeo in town? My entire neighbourhood and points south literally smells like I'm in the middle of a barnyard. #yeg."
As it turns out, the smell may have been caused by farmers using manure on their crops after harvest.
"Manure-spreading is an allowable practice and it is something that is done more at this time of year after the seasonal crop is taken off," said Humphrey Banack from the Alberta Federation of Agriculture. The manure can be used as a fertilizer since it has dense nutritional value and helps to restore the soil by spring. According to Banack, we shouldn't worry about the smell continuing.
"It won't be around very much longer, usually lasts half a day. It's because it's such a windy day but there are no health issues with it," said Bannack.
CTV meteorologist Josh Classen confirmed today's 20-30 kilometre winds could have played a role in the spread of the smell.
"Well the wind was west-north-west most of the day so I guess it could have spread this afternoon from west-north of the city."
Tomorrow's winds are forecast to be blowing from west-north-west again, however, they are not expected to be as strong.

Lyrics you might not want to sing along with
Pop music is something that exists as a soundtrack to our everyday lives. There are no warning labels needed, we assume, because it is so innocuous. At the same time, there are some songs we find ourselves singing along to without taking the time to actually pay attention to what the song is about. Sure, we expect something racy from Madonna or Rihanna, but what about those songs that slip by? Listening to your 6-year-old sing along to a Top 40 hit, only to realize she's actually singing about something that makes you blush can be a bit of a wake-up call. Here are 10 songs that seem to be innocent enough, until you actually pay attention to what the artist is saying. By Patrick Pentland -
The show must go on: Musicians with stage fright
Despite being in the public eye, and on stage for years, stage fright can be an issue for anyone, no matter how successful or seasoned a musician may be. I have played in my band Sloan for 22 years, and I still battle it almost every night. But it is surprising, and perhaps oddly comforting, to know that even huge stars are human and have the same fears as the rest of us. Here is a list of ten who have soldiered on in spite of their stage fright. By Patrick Pentland -

Over the past few decades, the world of pop music has been guilty of spitting out a variety of child singers and bands who have done a brilliant job of getting under our skin.

10 children of musicians
You might think that being the child of a famous musician would open all sorts of doors in the entertainment business. Sadly that is not always the case.

They like to give thanks too and many of them have written songs in the thankful spirit. Here is a look at 10 thankful inspired Thanksgiving ditties that can be enjoyed by the entire family.

The $55,555.00 will be used to hire an Assistant District Attorney and a Paralegal assistant to take advantage of a new law that allows public officials to sue felons to recover the profits of criminal activity and to seize property used in the commission of the crime. Dillon said, "This new law greatly expands the scope of forfeiture in New York State. It is hoped that by confiscating the fruits of crime from criminals we can deter some who might think of the consequences of their action: The grant will allow us to assign personnel to this task on a full time basis." The DA gave the following illustrations to show how the new law can be applied: A man steals a diamond worth $100,000. He is convicted. The diamond disappears, but the nian is a wealthy gem collector. The prosecutor can bring a post-conviction forfeiture action against the defendant for a money judgement equal to $100,000 and can execute the judgement against the defendant's other property. Dillon said under the new law prosecutors will be able to seize vehicles used in felony drunk driving cases.
