Marblecake Also The Game
.. or how Time Inc got their asses handed to them by a bunch of internet users with a great deal of time, creativity, imagination and just plain pwn on their hands to dish out.
Long story short, TIME's annual list of 100 most influential got gamed big time, with the rank 1 position going to 'moot', founder of 4chan.org, who basically perpetrated the scheme. Better yet, although TIME sort of admitted that they did notice attempts to hack the voting process, they claim that the final result is unblemished. Riiight. The title of this post is named after the initials of the top 21 names in the list. I highly doubt that's a coincidence.
The denial's pretty typical of big media. Admitting weakness, or even worse – incompetence – is one thing that probably won't happen in either your or my lifetimes, barring cases of monumental fuckups such as share prices dropping to rock bottom levels, or when public scandals force information out into the open via legal means or otherwise. Obviously, TIME isn't willing to admit that a bunch of internet users figured out how to get past their Captcha implementation, and instead stood by the results as they were.
There's a very thin line between appearing to look like you've got integrity, and looking stupid for getting embarassed and not even being willing to admit to it. On which side do you think TIME stands?

Barnes Cray is a place in the London Borough of Bexley. Its name derives from the prominent local Barne family. Up until the Victorian era it was a hamlet a kilometre downstream of Crayford where no more than sixteen homes were clustered. A calico-printing works drew water power from the culverted River Wansunt in early Victorian times, being later adapted for the manufacture of rubber goods, then felt and finally Brussels carpets. This carpet mill was demolished by 1890 and Barnes Cray House, the next largest building, was cleared by 1933, ending its days as a nursing home. The remnants of the settlement became absorbed into Crayford with the building of a munition village to facilitate the expansion of Vickers' armaments factory during the 1915 to 1919 period. In 1920 the area became part of the Crayford Urban District of Kent (having previously been in Dartford Rural District). Following World War I Crayford Urban District Council erected further housing estates to the north, eventually merging with estates spreading southwards from Erith. In 1965, under the London Government Act 1963, the urban district was abolished and its area transferred to Greater London to form part of the present-day London Borough of Bexley. The Geoffrey Whitworth Theatre is in Barnes Cray. The site of the current Barnes Cray Primary School is the proposed site for a new Academy for ages 3–19, which was consulted upon from September - December 2008, and the primary school will convert to the Academy in September 2009, with the secondary part of the Academy due to open in September 2010.

As Hawai'i inches closer to the 2012 General Election, the race for Hawai'i's 2nd Congressional District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives is heating up. Last month, former Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann announced he was going to run for the office, adding more fervor to a political race that has drawn a formidable slate of contenders seeking to represent the Aloha State on Capitol Hill.
Two men and two women have declared their candidacies for Hawai'i's 2nd Congressional District seat, which will soon be vacated by U.S. Rep. Mazie Hirono (who is vying for the U.S. Senate seat soon to be vacated by U.S. Sen. Daniel Akaka). So far, the contenders for the 2nd Congressional District include Hannemann, Hawai'i Island Attorney Bob Marx, Honolulu City Councilwoman Tulsi Gabbard and state Office of Hawaiian Affairs Chief Advocate Esther Kia'aina.
The following are brief political snapshots of candidates not already covered in last week's issue:
Tulsi Gabbard
At the age of 30, Councilwoman Tulsi Gabbard has accomplished more than some will in a lifetime. In 2002, at the age of 21, Gabbard was elected to the Hawai'i State Legislature, making her the youngest female state representative in U.S. history. In 2004, she volunteered to deploy to Iraq with the Hawai'i National Guard's 29th Brigade Combat Team, where she served in a medical unit, and later returned to the Middle East for a second deployment.
According to her campaign Website, she was "tasked with a security mission, served as a military police platoon leader and assisted in training the Kuwait National Guard." Between these deployments, Gabbard spent two years as a legislative aide to U.S. Sen. Daniel Akaka, serving as his advisor on a range of issues, including energy independence, homeland security, environment and veterans affairs.
When she announced her intention to run for the 2nd Congressional District, she said, "I refuse to accept that our children's future will be worse than past generations. The future of our children, our families, and our state and country depends upon a strong economy and good jobs. So in Congress, this will be one of my main priorities. Without a vibrant economy, we will not be able to pay for a strong national defense, environmental protection, education, Social Security, Medicare or other social services."
Gabbard may be young, but her supporters say she is wise beyond her years-a sentiment some believe is reflected by her own words.
"While we may not always agree on every issue, I want to assure you that I will always respectfully listen to your concerns, and always keep an open mind," she said in a recent video statement. "I have a sincere desire to be of service to all the people of Hawai'i, and I'm confident that I will serve you well. I have the experience, the energy, and the determination to fight for you, our beautiful Hawai'i, and our great country."
The 2012 Primary and General Elections may be months away, but it is never too soon to register to vote. The deadline for the 2012 Primary Election Voter Registration is Thursday, July 12, and the Primary Election will be held on Saturday, Aug. 11.

Peter Schmuck grades the Orioles (Week 22)
Every Monday during the regular season, columnist Peter Schmuck grades the cumulative performance of the Orioles in six major areas during the previous week.
Image 1 of 7
Starting rotation
It was a strange week for the O's rotation. Chris Tillman (pictured), Wei-Yin Chen and Miguel Gonzalez pitched pretty well in their four starts (3.04 combined ERA), but the Orioles were 1-3 in those games. Meanwhile, Bud Norris turned in his worst start since becoming an Oriole (7 ER in 4 2/3 IP) and the O's dropped a 9-spot on the A's Friday night. Scott Feldman needed 102 pitches to get through five innings, in spite of allowing just three hits, but he gave up just one run to record his fourth victory in nine starts since coming over from the Cubs. Overall, the rotation went 2-2 with a 4.21 ERA.

- 29 Apr 2011Gaga to donate £625,000
- 13 Apr 2011Lady Gaga's song gets Bollywood twist
American pop sensation Lady Gaga said on Thursday, June 7, that she loves to wear clothes by Asian designers and likes the region's culture, speaking during a swing through Singapore.
"I love Asian culture and I love all of the designers here in Asia," she said during a news conference in the city-state ahead of a private event. "Actually, as I have been travelling to Asia, I've been wearing mostly Asian designers. It's always important to know wherever you go to find the young talent, that's my favourite thing."
Asked to name the designers, the 25-year-old star said it would "take me a very long time" to do so.
She also spoke about her latest album titled Born This Way. "The album is my baby," said Gaga, who sported a beige dress, white gloves, dark glasses and thick platform shoes. "I spent almost two years writing it, and I wrote it while on tour," she said, adding that the songs of the album were inspired by her fans.
"The album is about being yourself, about who you are and being proud," said the singer, famous for her outlandish costumes. The diva, ranked this year's most powerful celebrity by Forbes magazine, also described herself as a woman who "lives halfway between reality and fantasy at all times".
She promised her legions of fans that she would be back in Singapore next year as part of an Asian tour.

Continuing our in-depth look at last year's sales report, Kristan picks over the DS and PSP's first years and even spends a bit of time on the Game Boy Advance. All data taken from Chart-Track's annual report, used with permission.
DS: Double Trouble?
Having launched back in March 2005, Nintendo's new handheld had almost a six-month head-start on Sony's PSP, but, in the final 2005 reckoning still found itself overtaken by the more powerful, more expensive machine. DS game sales accounted for an impressive-sounding 1.66m units, or three per cent of all games sold. By value, DS titles accounted for 3.4 per cent of the entire market with �4.14m.
By comparison, the GBA launched in June 2001 but still managed to shift almost as much software with �3.75m worth of games shifted in a shorter period of time (1.22m units), which was worth around 4.6 per cent of the value market at the time. On that basis alone, DS games have had a smaller impact in the UK than the GBA line-up did, though it has to be noted that the GBA had the entire handheld audience to itself, with the exception of the Pokemon-fuelled Game Boy/Game Boy Color market. Crucially, Nintendo didn't have to compete with Sony, either.
In terms of the big DS successes of last year, Super Mario 64 DS was far and away the biggest DS seller (and the second best selling handheld game overall after GTA), with impressive sales of over 200k - well up on the initial launch sales of Super Mario Advance in 2001 (which were around the 167k mark). Mario Kart DS' sales were, surprisingly, somewhat less stellar. Although sales of over 100k were enough to make it the second best-selling DS title of the year, Mario Kart: Super Circuit had a much bigger impact back in 2001, selling roughly 80 per cent more over a similar time frame - though the fact that it was the first ever handheld Mario Kart no doubt accounted for the greater demand. It may well make up that figure in time, but it certainly has a long way to go to catch up Super Circuit's cumulative sales of around 350k to date.
Predictably, Nintendo utterly dominated the top DS sellers, with combined sales of the three Nintendogs titles totalling almost 200k up to the end of 2005 (far and away the top selling being Lab & Friends with almost 100k). Despite WarioWare Inc being utterly ignored on GBA when it came out in 2003, WarioWare Touched proved a big hit with DS users, being the fourth best selling DS title of the year, with over 80k.
Elsewhere, the regular handheld stalwarts like Sonic Rush and Rayman DS did well with around 60k apiece, but perhaps the biggest surprise of the year is the number ten showing for Zoo Keeper with over 40k, outselling huge brands like The Sims 2, Pokemon, Harry Potter, Need For Speed, FIFA and King Kong. Nice work, Ignition, or, as the Zoo Keeper himself might put it, you have disgraced your family. Quite what the dire Asphalt GT is doing at number nine (with sales of almost 50k) is a complete mystery, though.
On the other end of the scale, it was disappointing to see so many of the DS' very best titles not hitting similar heights. For example, the excellent Advance Wars: Dual Strike was down in 22nd place with sales of over 20k, while EG cult favourites Polarium and Meteos were placed in 37th place, and number 46 with sales of around 10k respectively, while the excellent Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow managed a few thousand less in 50th place. It wasn't much of a surprise to see Another Code: Two Memories at number 32 (around 15k) but, still, sometimes there's no justice.
PlayStation Portable
Gamers whinged all-year-long at Sony's decision to delay the European launch until September 1st, but in reality the intense hype surrounding the machine built up a must-have aura around the system, and when it launched sales were way beyond everyone's expectations. In the first few days on sale the PSP smashed all previous hardware launch sales figures by a factor of two - and all this despite rampant import sales that Sony had been preoccupied with squashing all year long.
Needless to say, software sales were exceptional, despite serious doubts from the critics who complained bitterly about the load times and the lack of killer apps.
Although the Chart-Track figures are heavily skewed by the presence of mandatory software bundling from Sony, the tactic worked, with total unit sales of 2.63m, or 4.8 per cent of all games sold. By value the picture is even rosier for Sony, with sales totalling some �8.17m, representing 6.7 per cent of the total market value - instantly catapulting it ahead of the GBA market (�6.05m) and almost double that of the DS market (�4.14m). In context, this percentage puts it ahead of mainstream launches of home systems like the N64, Saturn, Dreamcast, GameCube and even the Xbox at a similar stage in its life cycle - both in terms of software unit sales and value and even hardware sales. Next to any other handheld launch, the figures are unprecedented whichever angle you look at them.
Game sales wise, you can probably guess that GTA: Liberty City Stories completely ran away with it. In just eight weeks, Rockstar clocked up over 360k, making it the best selling handheld title since Pokemon Yellow back in summer 2000. World Tour Soccer did incredibly well, too, with sales of not far short of 200k, but these figures are somewhat bogus because the game's sales were largely because of Sony's cunning bundle deal which obliged consumers to buy the game with the console for a while - during a period when demand was intense and supply very short.
Beyond that, football titles appear to be the hottest property among PSP owners long starved of decent handheld games in the genre. The arrival of Pro Evolution Soccer 5 in week 47 was very warmly received indeed, with sales of almost 150k - over 20k ahead of FIFA 06, which gives a fair indication of the continuing shift in the balance of power in the all-important football market.
EA's overall performance on the platform was excellent, though, with Need For Speed: Most Wanted and Burnout: Revenge both selling around 100k - two of the biggest sellers on the platform. In general, racing games proved to be a massive lure for the game buying public, with Midnight Club 3, WipEout Pure and Need For Speed Underground: Rivals selling over 50k, and TOCA Race Driver, Crash Tag Team Racing and even WRC not far off that figure - respectable quantities that would be considered successful on most other home systems.
In the 'EG favourites' category there were also some heart-warming successes. Top of the list was the surprise number ten success of the brilliant Lumines (over 70k), while other cracking titles like Ridge Racer (over 90k), Everybody's Golf and Virtua Tennis (both around 70k) also performed exceptionally well.
Even leftfield titles like Archer Maclean's Mercury (over 35k) did reasonably well, and - for once - we don't really have any major sob stories of brilliant underperforming titles. Maybe Frantix and Gripshift deserved to do better (less than 5k each), but they barely had any publicity and were released during the Christmas rush, so it's hardly a shock.
What is a surprise is just how many competing titles there were available in such a short space of time. To have 53 titles on the shelves from September 1st to mid December (13 each from Sony and EA alone) has to represent the biggest array of launch software on any platform, ever, and it's doubtful it will ever happen again. Of course, the massive delay ensured there would be a vast glut, and much of the quality was patchy at best, but Sony made the impact it wanted to.
The interesting thing will be to watch whether the platform's momentum stalls. Certainly, the quality of software has been a major talking point all year, and many question marks remain. Hopefully E3 will provide one or two pointers as to the direction of future PSP output.
Game Boy's advanced years
In its fifth year on sale, GBA sales still rule the handheld roost in terms of units sales, with 3.08m games sold during 2005 and 5.6 per cent market share, though its overall market share, by units, dropped by one percentage point on 2004 when sales reached a peak of 3.47m (�7.63m). In terms of the value of those sales, 2005 netted �6.05m, or put another way, five per cent of the market (down from 6.4 per cent in 2004).
In terms of games, Pokemon Emerald outsold all comers, with almost 150k - some way down from where the brand was at its peak, but enough to keep sales of Fire Red and Leaf Green ticking over nicely with over 50k sales of each. Unlike the DS listings, there's barely a decent 'gamers' game' in the entire list, with the charts clogged up with child-friendly licensed fodder, such as Simpsons Road Rage (almost 140k), while The Incredibles, Scooby Doo: Mystery Mayhem and Bratz Rock Angelz all sold over 60k. As ever, THQ is far and away the king of the GBA, with 12 games in the top 20 alone.
Bizarrely, critically appreciated games like Donkey Kong: King of Swing rank way down the sales charts in 114th place (less than 7k), while it's a similar story for Yoshi's Universal Gravitation (130th), with Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones (141st), Donkey Kong Country 3 (176th) and Rare's underrated It's Mr Pants (185th place) selling even less. Even the rather wonderful Mario Power Tennis failed, hitting 205th place and selling just over 2k. Meanwhile, anything with a Pixar, cartoon or film license on it sells bucketloads... Incredibles Power Tennis, anyone?
Ever wondered what the all-time GBA best-sellers in the UK were? Read on.
- Mario Kart: Super Circuit
- Pokemon Ruby
- Finding Nemo
- Pokemon Sapphire
- Monsters, Inc.
- Pokemon Fire Red
- The Incredibles
- Sonic Advance
- Pokemon Leaf Green

I watched the final episodes of Code Geass this morning, and it got me thinking. Has there ever been a finale to a TV show that realy moved you?
I watched the final episodes of Code Geass this morning, and it got me thinking. Has there ever been a finale to a TV show that realy moved you?
both the endings to code geass and scrubs moved me somewhat..
great shows :'(
It wasn't the actual finale, but was engineered in such a way that it could have been, since it was questionable whether the show would return the following year.
Anyway, it was the fifth season finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and makes me cry everytime. Giles "she's a hero you see, she's not like us" line, followed by Buffy easily knocking Doc off the tower mid-line, her last moments with Dawn and her great speech set against her friends reacting to her death, and closing with a shot of her tombstone. I think the funny, deadpan epitaph makes it even sadder.
I didn't really get into season five at the time, but I love it now and I think this is actually my favorite episode of the series.
The scene of Nunally craddling her dying brother in her arms at the end really got to me. When she was screaming for him not to die, because she finally understood that the horrific things he had done were all to save the world, that was one of the most powerful scenes I've ever watched.
I'm also partial to the finale of The Facts of Life, where Blair finally lets Jo eat her out "for friendship's sake".
the goodbye scene between Hawkeye and BJ in the final ep of M*A*S*H was kinda touching, I thought...
I also just remembered... it wasn't the final episode, but the episode of M*A*S*H where Radar announced to everyone that Col. Henry Blake's helicopter, which was taking him to catch a flight back home to the States, was shot down and there were no survivors, REALLY stunned me and got to me when I first saw it...
Doesn't make me cry, but the end of Freaks and Geeks almost always has me welling up.
Most of the episodes that bring me to or near to tears are actually in the middle of seasons, really. It seems like every other episode of seasons 1 and 3 of Friday Night Lights has seen me get all emotional, but the finales generally weren't as powerful as some of the midseason stuff. That's true for most shows.
Johnny Carson's final Tonight Show.
I don't know why, but the ending to Dragonball GT always made me well up a bit. Maybe that's just because of how I grew up on the show and all.
Blackadder Goes Forth got me.
Angel did it when Wesley bought it, and finally asks Illyria to lie to him that Fred is still around. When you consider both characters know she's not and it's just Illyria in a wig, it's quite a brutal scene.
I saw the last scene of the last SM:TV Live on Youtube, where we see the janitor turn out the studio lights. That got me, embarrassingly - that's part of my youth he was turning off!
Only Fools And Horses got me multiple times (I'm talking about the real finale in 1996, not the abortive 2003 one). There's something that gets me about the montage of the characters being successful, finally making it rich, only for a visually frustrated Del Boy to finally leave and go to the flat they used to live in. A flat that's now empty and dark, with him hearing the voices of his dead mum and Granddad.
And then that's followed up with Del admitting he doesn't know what to do anymore. And then the twist of the knife, a phone call to the flat that Del picks up - and it's someone who's got some stock for them! He'll let them have it cheap, they can make 100% profit! And he has to be reminded they aren't in the black market anymore, and Del can only give an upset, trailing-off sales pitch about what a good deal this is, before he himself realises it's over.
"Trotter's Independent Traders... has stopped trading."
As a result of seeing that episode, the song Our House is now burnt into my brain.
"We must fight on!"
"We'll die. We fight and we die, that's how it goes."
"Then we die gloriously!"
"There's an important word there, and it's not gloriously."

I took some time off after, so when I finally picked up my mail, it was about 3 weeks worth.

« Chromeo - new DJ-KICKS album & an Irving Plaza show | The Twilight Sad - updated 2009 tour dates + new video »
Posted in music | tour dates on July 22, 2009
Brian Wilson @ Hammerstein Ballroom last November (more by Tim Griffin)
Paul Zollo: You've been regarded as a musical genius throughout your career. Has that put too much pressure on you?Brian and his brain will head out on a tour of Europe and the US this fall. While his November 2008 show at the Hammerstein Ballroom featured "50 minutes of Beach Boys stuff" along with the entirety of That Lucky Old Sun, these shows, billed as "Greatest Hits Live," will be sure to focus on more classic material.Brian Wilson: No, it doesn't put pressure on me. The only thing that puts the pressure on me is having to live up to my name, you know. As who I think I might be or should be or am. According to people, what they think I should be. You know, everybody goes through it. I'm not the only one who goes through that. Everybody goes through it.
PZ: But not everybody is the driving force of the Beach Boys. You had the pressure to produce sunny, happy songs, even if you didn't feel that way. What was that like?
BW: I was on the spot. You know what it was, though, that's when I was younger. Right? When I was in my twenties I was on the go all the time, producing, writing, you know, just creating all the time. It was such that it was a big burden on my shoulders. I took on a lot of karma and burdens on my shoulders. For some unknown reason, I just found myself involved in a name dilemma. After my twenties, when I was in my thirties and forties, I had age dilemma problems.
I say to myself, "I miss the feeling of being young." I say, "OK, so I do. That's established." Then I go through that, I get back on the track, and I say, "Yeah, but I got a great brain. Maybe I don't feel like taking a sprint every ten seconds down the street, but I have a great brain." Know what I mean?

Does anyone know if the wondermints are still his backing band?

Nicest guy that ever walked this earth. It nearly killed him, trying to please everyone all the time and with no support system, just users and takers (especially family, which should have looked out for him). The man had no defense mechanisms; he just laid himself out there, which was why his music was so pure. No filter-this is me. And it was good.

You mean Brian and what's left of his deep fried over medicated brain. So sad.

if people stopped buying tickets to his shows maybe he would stop touring and disappear.

Great live band and he is able to hold his own with their backing. My only problem is that prices for tickets are ridiculously high.

Peter Jackson began shooting both installments of The Hobbit on March 21st. Now Bret McKenzie, the less Jemaine Clement-ish half of Flight of the Conchords is going to reprise his role as Lindir (nicknamed Figwit by some, um, dedicated fans). If you don't remember him, that's because he had no lines during the council of Elrond scene in Fellowship of the Ring and only a small speaking role in Return of the King.
In the books Lindir was an Elf of Rivendell who attended one of Bilbo's poetry readings at Elrond's house (total sausage fest, too many d*cks on the dance floor for sure). The first of the two Hobbit films is set to release in December of next year and the second in 2013. In the meantime you can watch a video of McKenzie in Return of the King below as well as a second video carrying an important message for Frodo.

voltage-gated potassium channel alpha-subunit comprises 11 families and several
related families in mammals. Kcn acts as an anatagonist of glucose mediated
insulin secretion and this effect appears to be in turn antagonized by
components of the pathway. The alpha subunit identified as mediating the
voltage-dependent outward potassium current in the mammalian beta cells is
Kcnb1 (known as Kv2.1), the first member of family 2 also known as Shab. Three
regulatory beta subunits have been identified; they are related to the
NADPH-dependent oxidoreductase enzymes and thought to confer redox sensitivity
upon the channel. The three genes are expressed in the beta cells of human and
rat but their association with Kcnb1 remains to be established. More information can be found in PMID:12830383. Only Kcnb1 is listed with aliases in parentheses, full name and link to the gene report page:

Danish deposit labels are registered trademarks owned by Dansk Retursystem A/S. The labels are used to identify one-way packaging sold on the Danish market. One-way packaging can be labelled in one of two ways: primary labelling, or self-adhesive deposit labels.
When using primary labelling of one-way packaging, the producer prints the Danish deposit label directly onto the packaging material or onto the original product label.
The rules governing the design of the deposit label, choice of colours, size and positioning are laid down in the Statutory Order. Primary labelling of packaging must be approved by Dansk Retursystem.
Deposit labels comprise the following elements:
Deposit labels printed directly onto the packaging or onto the product label can have different combinations. The following are just examples:
Detailed information on primary labelling is available in our manual. Importers and producers registered with Dansk Retursystem can order a CD-ROM with deposit label print files.
Before selling a product on the Danish market, importers and producers have a duty to label all one-way packaging with a deposit label. This means that the labelling process can be carried out both in Denmark and abroad. However, sales locations do not have the right to label packaging that they sell. Deposit labels can only be purchased from Dansk Retursystem A/S. Detailed information on secondary labelling is available in our manual.
A deposit label consists of 3 segments. The upper segment shows whether the one-way packaging is made from glass (GLAS), plastic (PLAST), aluminium (ALU) or steel (STÅL). The middle segment displays the value of the Danish deposit label: Type A (DKK 1.00), Type B (DKK 1.50), and Type C (DKK 3.00). The bottom segment consists of a row of five dots that can be scanned electronically by a reverse vending machine.
Deposit labels are printed in a special security colour which is authenticated by a security camera as the label is scanned by the reverse vending machine. Deposit labels can also be checked manually with a special control card.
Deposit labels come in several different combinations of materials and deposit values:
Deposit labels are also available with an EAN barcode. The labels come in two different widths which provides the option to choose the breadth that best accommodates the original bar code on the product.

What is a SDF file?
SDF is an acronym for Standard Database Format. Files that contain the .sdf file extension normally contain standard database files that store data in a structured file format.
These SDF files are often used to transfer data between different database applications. This allows a user who has created a database in one software program to share the database information with another user who may not have the same software product installed on his or her computer.
The Soundweb software application also uses the .sdf file suffix. These SDF files contain designer files that have been created in the Soundweb application.

Arizona Cardinals
-QB John Skeleton (Questionable)-Skeleton is said to have a high ankle sprain and is expected to be out 4-6 weeks. This of course means nothing to fantasy owners unless you're the worst fantasy football player ever. Chances are if John Skeleton is your fantasy QB, then you probably have Lawrence Fishburn as your half back. The Cardinals need not worry either. Kevin Kolb is the best QB on the team. Then again, that isn't saying much.
-HB Beanie Wells (Probable) Ankle. Wells rushed for 14 yards off 7 attempts vs Seattle this Sunday.
Buffalo Bills
Jacksonville Jaguars
Kansas City Chiefs
-Skip Bayless (Doubtful-brain) Tebow's biggest backer's head is allegedly spinning due to not being able to discuss Tebow and bash the performance of starting QB Mark Sanchez.
Oakland Raiders
-K Sebastian Janikowski (groin)- Janikowski was a full participant at Friday's practice and is already set to kick field goals all the way from the parking lot.
-DE Richard Seymour (Questionable-knee)- Seymour was limited at practice. When he wasn't practicing, he was counting his championship rings from the Patriots and tweeting poetry reminiscing about the good ole' days.
-WR Denarius Moore (Questionable-hamstring)- He may play but I doubt any of you fantasy owners are this desperate…yet.
Philadelphia Eagles
-QB Michael Vick (Probable-fatigue)- Vick suffered from fatigue due to his arm getting tired after throwing 4 interceptions. Michael Vick of 2010 is long gone, people. He robbed the Eagles like Swayze's Ex Presidents robbed banks in Point Break. I did it, ladies and gentlemen. I once again, made a Point Break reference. YOU'RE WELCOME!
Pittsburgh Steelers
-LB James Harrison (Out-knee)- Harrison was unable to cheap shot anyone on Sunday due to his knee injury. Roger Goodell still fined him.
-HB Rashard Mendenhaal (Questionable-knee)-Mendenhaal hopes to return to a crowded Steelers backfield.
San Diego Chargers
-HB Ryan Matthews (Out-shoulder)- Matthews could be back in week 2 but for now, Ronnie Brown, will carry the load. Remember that guy?
San Francisco 49ers
-HB Brandon Jacobs (Doubtful-sprained left knee)
-HB LaMichael James (out-no idea)-The 49ers will not reveal why James is inactive. The only possible reason is that he is actually a stone cold assassin and this is a government cover up.
-WR Ted Ginn (Doubtful-ankle)
Seattle Seahawks
-No injuries of importance
St. Louis Rams
-No injuries of importance
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
-No injuries of importance
Tennessee Titans
- QB Jake Locker (Probable-shoulder)- Locker suffered a left (non-throwing) shoulder separation Sunday vs , he expects to play next week against the Chargers.
-HB Chris Johnson- He is not listed on any injury report but something must be wrong with him because he has been awful since the start of last season. Either he was cloned like Michael Keaton in Multiplicity and this is just the bad copy while the real Chris Johnson is out sailing or Chris Johnson got satisfied with his big contract and quit caring about his performance. Regardless, his game should be put on a milk carton.
Washington Redskins
- WR Peire Garcon (Probable-foot)- Garcon left Sunday's game Vs the Saints, early due to a foot injury. The fact that he still managed to pull in four catches for a 109 yards and 1 TD speaks volumes of what to expect from the RGIII/Garcon DC connection.

For those who are complaining, remember when the citizens of Wichita Falls shot down bond programs that would have reduced the amount of elementary schools by 4? We have a very building heavy school district for the number of students it serves. We have classroom sizes that are much smaller than the state average. Those two things cost money in the amount of personnel required to operate those extra schools.
That means that the WFISD is always going to be struggling financially because of choices we have made as taxpayers. Think of how much salary goes into having four extra principals, assistant principals, secretaries, attendance clerks, etc. That's probably $500,000 in salaries alone, without adding the cost of A/C, electrical, building maintenance, technology, supplies, etc. I would be willing to bet that we spend an extra $2 million minimum each year on all these additional, smaller campuses.
In my humble opinion, our board has let us down by not making the hard decisions to close additional facilities with small student populations. It looks great politically in the short term, but long term those decisions will continue to exact financial and educational tolls every year.

in response to MyTwoSENSE:
There's two things we agree on. (Rule #1). As far a fair goes, i had a football coach that always told me "fair and equal are two different things". Kind of like the saying now that I'm and adult. We will see if the punishment is fair or equal when he goes to court. This was just hearing to see if there was enough evidence to send to grand jury.
MyTwoSense, this is getting scary as we agree on two things! I have had the wonderful opportunity to deal with the judicial system last year(not by choice) & found most laws & punishments are/were made for criminals & not victims(while rolling my eyes). Also, are public schools not made to bid out jobs? Maybe there is a company who could do the same work but for less money? Heck even some posters on here are willing to do the job. Now, for the person who said something about a Christian attitude towards this young man. Relevance? I don't think religion has anything to do with this matter. To me, when this young man called & bragged to his friend that changed everything. What really bothers me is when you are arrested & the judge gives you punishment & you either pay the fine or do jail time BUT this follows you around & it's held against you. Even though what you did was STUPID, mistakes & lack of judgement happens to all of us. I wish employers would give kids a break. I guess I would be pressing my luck to ask if your football coach was Singleton?

I started with a wall clock from Target,
I began by dismantling the whole clock, it was just a few screws, and a rubber strip that was holding the glass in place. The pieces that I have to make it look like a pocket watch are the clock body, a wood curtain rod finial that I ordered from Hobby Lobby, and a brass ring (I think it's a 4" ring) also from Hobby Lobby.
Using a Dremmel with a sanding wheel, I sort of tried to shape the finial so that it matched the profile on the clock body. I then drilled a hole in the clock body, and put the screw on the bottom of the curtail finial through it with lots of wood glue. (Before this I had hand sanded the clock to roughen it up a bit.)
I used blue masking tape to put pressure on the glue as it dried. as you can see the Dremmel sanding wasn't perfect, but it does sit down MUCH better than the flat bottom did.
I then used wood filler and paintable caulk to fill up the gaps between the finial and the clock body. I sanded and smoothed everything down after it dried.
The face template was made by evenly folding the circle of paper into 12ths, and then tracing letters and numbers I had printed off in the right size. I then scribbled with pencil on the back, taped it to my clock face, and then drew over the lines with pen and hard pressure.
I hand painted all of the letters and numbers in black craft paint, being careful not to smudge anything since I couldn't touch up the white, once the stain was on it.
Here's the face once sanded a little more, varnished, and with the hands installed. I sprayed a light coat of blackened bronze spray paint onto the hands so that they weren't the gold color anymore.
Once the body was finished, I painted the finial dark brown, and drilled holes for the ring (Paul cut a small section out of the ring, so it would slot in the holes.) and then glued the ring in place. I then gold leafed the whole clock body using faux gold leaf and spray adhesive. After all the leafing was applied (I left it cracky and antiqued on purpose) I then added some stain, and varnish to finish the whole thing off with an antique look.
The only finished photo I have is an instragram one, but I have to say I love it!!! I finished the clock by gluing the glass back in (rather than reusing the brown rubber) and then putting everything back together the same way I took it apart (with the new face of course)
I got this clock specifically so that I could set it to US time, so I know what time it is in Arizona (where my family lives) this way I am not calling them at 2:00 in the morning ever! I monogrammed it with our last name (and USA) just for a touch of personalization. I am very happy with the feel it has, and I think it has the same sort of vibe as my Pottery Barn inspiration, while being a functioning clock, (I think mine looks more like a real pocket watch too) I can't decide if the gold is too bright or not, but I guess that could be solved with a few swipes of gel stain. I would love to hear what you think about it!

WILLIAMSTOWN - Two very different iconic characters have descended upon the Williamstown Thaeatre Festival this year, with a hefty weight being placed on the actors portraying them.
"The iconic nature of Eliza Doolittle is kind of a challenge," Festival veteran Heather Lind said of portraying the role. Portraying Professor Henry Higgins is Robert Sean Leonard, also no stranger to the Festival or play himself, for "Pygmalion," July 17 to 27 on the Main Stage.
"While doing publicity shots in the flower district in New York City, some strangers pointed out, 'Oh look there's Eliza Doolittle!' She is such a heroine. What saved me from the fear of approaching it too close to Audrey Hepburn's portrayal was that Shaw's text was so explicit and detailed. He wrote a prologue and epilogue to the show, and I kept referring directly to the script."
Currently running at Poker Flats Field, "Dracula or, the Un-Dead," brings the ageless count to the rolling hills of Williamstown.
"I think the main influence would be the book," Noah Averbach-Katz, who plays the title role, said, "because in the movies there is something very contained, especially in the earlier movies. Christopher Lee, it's almost like he is literally undead, there is almost nothing going on, and I think in the book he's very alive. I think he has a wider range of emotional experience than any other character, including the women to some extent.
"His ups and downs are so extreme, so I think that was the main influence, to really allow that level of experience and leave the classic interpretation to the side, because quite frankly it won't play outside."
As fans of either character can attest, both parts require an unusual accent.
"I think for the accent I stole a little bit from Gary Oldman, because he's really good with his voice," Averbach-Katz said. "It's so thick, and I had to mix it with a young Romanian woman I found on YouTube. So combining them made it come together in a way that I think will be, hopefully, understood outside."
"Dracula or, the Un-Dead" director Jordan Fein, knew the accent was right from the get go.
"In the beginning we were talking about it," Fein said, "and he just came in and we were like 'Yeah, that's right."
"By the first read, I was working it for a while, and I was like 'oh god, I'm so nervous,'" Averbach-Katz said. "So I tell Jordan this spiel and that I need a couple of days to work on it, and he was like 'No, that's great. We have other stuff to work on.'" For Lind's street-wise Cockney, and Averbach-Katz's Count, it has been a work in progress for quite some time.
"The voice work has been challenging and I wanted to make sure it was authentic," Lind said. "I started working before I came to Williamstown, and got started as quickly as I could to get the right sound. I had to feely it - physically - in my body."
Both are also experienced with playing iconic characters. Lind, who won the Theatre World Award for Outstanding Broadway or Off-Broadway Debut Performance playing the daughter of Al Pacino's Shylock in the Shakespeare in the Park production of "Merchant of Venice," and Averbach-Katz as a tragic Shakespearean king.
"Before I did this, at school, I played King Lear so I already had experienced that a little bit," Averbach-Katz said. "It's something where people have their own opinions, and own experience with the character. The challenge of that is trying to meet people's expectations or say 'Oh that's what they expect, so let's give that to them,' and also getting lost, especially at the beginning of the process.
"It's difficult in just trying to get lost so you are that part, so you don't do the things you usually do on a different kind of part. In a way playing [an iconic part] is a challenge, but it's very freeing in a way, because when you watch a part like Dracula, or any major role you know something about, you actually want something from the character that you haven't seen before that's exciting and new."
And playing iconic characters can give you freedom of interpretation.
"It gives you almost a greater license to expand people's notion or idea of what's possible, and what the character can do," Averbach-Katz said. "Because, actually, it's from pretty limited experiences. Once you kind of work out the kinks, you actually find that there is a pretty wide range of experience you can bring to the table and that's exciting for me, the actor, and I think it's its exciting for everyone.
"But I had to watch all the movies, read all the books, I read a bunch of criticism, but I did all that so that I actually wouldn't bring it into the room, but leave it at the door, to not be thinking about it, and not be thinking about how, say, Gary Oldman was doing it."
Tickets for "Dracula or, the Undead" are free. Tickets for "Pygmalion" are $60.
And coming in the July 25 print edition of The Advocate, a look at real icons through the storied history of the Boston Red Sox, and an infamous curse brought to life in "Johnny Baseball."

Women's 100: North America
Outside the Rapha North America office.
Around the world, the Rapha Women's 100 rides kicked off this Sunday past and North America was no exception. Before heading out early Sunday morning we had the chance to peruse the hashtag and see all the #Womens100 entries that had come in through the night from Japan, Australia and of course the whole of Europe. They were an inspiration to say the least. Below are a few stories from around North America that we've collected.
Cynthia Young – Vancouver, BC
There really is something magical about feeling like you're part of a global community of cycling sisters.
Throughout our ride, we talked about our experiences of riding with women. Sometimes it's amazing but sometimes not. Sometimes ride expectations don't line up when more experienced riders aren't willing to sacrifice their pace in the name of mentorship, and slower riders get frustrated if they think they are holding the group up. But the Women's 100 ride was perfection. We were all there for the same reason: to celebrate women and cycling; to be in awe of the world's greatest race, this year celebrating its 100th edition; to feel the empowerment of our fellow 100 ladies riding the Etape; and to enjoy the connection with the road and wheels and what it means to be female and ride a bicycle.
One of the women in our group was tackling her first ever 100km ride. She seemed surprisingly at ease about aiming for that 'longest ride ever'. I think she just knew that we had her back – that there weren't any expectations and that we would all rally to make sure she enjoyed her day in the saddle. Solidarity. And we celebrated with her at the end of the day, her accomplishment was our accomplishment. We felt inspired.
Another of the riders, adjusting to life as a new mom, is a former ultra-endurance athlete, she is finding her new 'normal' with 'shorter' rides. Finding the enjoyment in a ride that doesn't take all day but still leaves you satisfied. The satisfaction that comes from connecting with those with a similar passion.
We looked good and we felt good. We savored the tailwinds and the headwinds. We rode 100 kilometers. Together.
Abby Watson– Portland, Oregon
My Women's 100 experience was centered around a special guest - my mom. It was my parents who got me into cycling in 2006 and helped me ride what (at the time) seemed like the impossible distance of 50 miles. Fast forward seven years and here we are in Portland in a group of 50-plus cyclists about to depart on a 100km ride that I'd done my best to organize. I was nervous not only about how the event would go but also for my mom, who had somewhat timidly agreed to participate with me during her visit to Portland. My parents live in Ohio and I hadn't ridden with them in years. I knew my mother was stubbornly committed to riding alone and at her own pace. Don't get me wrong, my mom is exceptionally strong (and strong willed).
Right from the start I said to her, "Do not coast, just keep pedaling!", but I kept hearing the unmistakable buzz of her Chris King hubs behind me. I watched the group begin to ride away from us within the first few miles . "Okay, just keep pedaling, we're going at our own pace, this is going to be fine, we're having fun, we can do this, right?"
Right. I relaxed about keeping up, set a course for having fun, and my mom rode strong. We soon caught a group up the road and, over the course of the day, her consistent, steady speed overtook tiring riders who'd gone out fast and early. She climbed strongly, rode smoothly, descended cautiously (as always) and we finished together. I'm impressed by everyone who participated in the Women's 100 on Sunday but I'm most proud of my mom.
Jen Nordham – New York City, New York
We rolled out with 23 riders and acquired a few more along the way - the perfect sized group. No flat tires. No lost or dropped riders. The rider who traveled furthest to take part came all the way from Sweden and she was so happy to complete 100k that she cried. My friend, Cait Dooley, surprised me by driving down from Boston that morning just for the ride, too. It was fun to talk with new friends and old as we ticked off the kilometers toward 100. I can't give away any of the juicy gossip, but I assure you of one thing… the ride was rad.
Lauren Kling & Joy Stark – Boston, Massachusetts
I have never seen so many women together for a group ride before! Our local ride had two waves for the 100-mile ride and, I believe, five waves for the 100k ride. It was out of the Ride.Studio.Cafe in Lexington, MA and organized in collaboration with us, RSC, and the ladies of RAWRbikes.com. Joy made a group flickr for people to upload photos to and already uploaded her own pictures from the ride. The link is here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/rsc-raphawomens100/pool/.
Thanks for giving so many women out there a great excuse to ride and put down some miles together!

Seems like forever since Decepticon Sean first announced his new solo album Mic Tyson. The Kimbo Price mixtape that preceded it came out back at the tail end of '09, but you know what? Let that man take his time. It's not like he hasn't been busy, and in today's non-stop torrent of mediocre mixtapes I'd rather hear a dude making some effort to slap fire out ya grill anyway.
Mic Tyson is out October 30th. The album's first video entitled 'I See' can be enjoyed below.


text: This was a collaborative effort between myself and David McCandless: David came up with all the information, and I created the design. The look for this was never meant to adhere to a rigid system of strict information design; instead, I wanted to make a political diagram that would catch the eye of people who wouldn't normally be interested in a political diagram. I hope it worked.

Much progress to report though none of it particularly technical. Moved, changed jobs, hired some developers, working hard, exploring, dealing with WTC bombing fall-out effects.
On the technical side: using jabber server extensively for middleware messaging layer, lots of python going on, really like the MoinMoin Wiki, couldn't get samba to compile under cygwin though it should be doable (it's probably not worthwhile), Jarl/everybuddy are alright jabber clients for Linux, Windows registry entries can have duplicates or null key/values.
Had some new thoughts on category trees. Greater than, less than for a path or tree translates to childof, parentof. There's a really simple relationship between trees and strings which makes lots of algorithms constant order in surprising ways. [more on that later]

BAXTER - Sketch plans for two new business developments were approved Tuesday at the Baxter City Council's first meeting of 2012.
December's warm temperatures and scarcity of snow have prolonged the fire season for DNR foresters and posed occasional equipment shortages that have had to be overcome.
BAXTER - Tuesday's 10-hour Republican Senate caucus meeting in Roseville, where Sen. Paul Gazelka was elected assistant majority leader, gave lawmakers a chance to "share from the heart" as well as plot political strategy, the first-term senator said.
Sen. Paul Gazelka, R-Brainerd, was elected as one of four Senate assistant majority leaders Tuesday, as Republicans brought in a new leadership team in the wake of the resignation of Sen. Amy Koch.
The destruction of 10 buildings at the former site of Brainerd State Hospital began this week, a milestone event at a location that once housed 1,500 patients.
Charges of conflict of interest resulted in the May resignation of Douglas Kuepers, a veteran member of the Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport Commission.
Disappointment was apparent on faces of Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport Commission members and airport officials this summer as they dealt with the announcement that Delta Air Lines was planning to eventually discontinue its service to Brainerd and several other small market cities. The commission l...
About 20 Mille Lacs Lake anglers and their rescuers all made it off the lake without injury Wednesday night and on Thursday a relieved Aitkin County Sheriff Scott A. Turner urged anglers on to be cautious in future outings.
Rick Adair, vice chairman of the Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport Commission, is the new interim airport manager. He took a leave from the airport commission, a panel he's served on since 2007, to accept the post as interim airport manager.
BAXTER - With a GOP leadership shuffle assured in the Minnesota Senate after the abrupt resignation of Majority Leader Amy Koch, Sen. Paul Gazelka, R-Baxter, said Friday he was open to serving his caucus as an assistant majority leader.

There are many myths and stereotypes about sexual assault. But when you add in myths and prejudices about lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and questioning (LGBTQ) people, a survivor faces even more misconceptions.
Sexual assault survivors of all backgrounds and orientations often go through similar feelings like persistent fear, flashbacks, sleep problems, guilt, shame, anger, and difficulty trusting.
Sexual Assault is not only rape; it is also ANY type of unwanted sexual contact. Everyone has the right to decide what they do or don't want to do sexually. Not all sexual assaults are violent "attacks"; in fact 80 – 90% of sexual assault survivors know their perpetrator. Forcing or pressuring someone to do something they don't want to do or consent to is sexual assault.
Myths and prejudices may put LGBTQ people at increased risk for sexual assault:
- A person may be targeted for a hate crime based on their appearance, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
- Women often assume that other women are never violent and may not be as cautious when engaging with other females.
- Survivors risk that they will be confronted with prejudice at a time when they are very vulnerable and need understanding.
A LGBTQ person may be less likely to report an assault or get help out of fear that they will be blamed for the assault because of their "lifestyle", by friends, family, or officials.
Sexual assault is never a victim's fault, regardless of what you were wearing, if you had said yes before, if you know the perpetrator(s) or if drugs or alcohol were involved.
If you believe you have been sexually assaulted / raped, call WEAVE's 24-Hour Support and Information Line, 916.920.2952, as soon as possible.

Ballots & Bullets (UK):
Notes on Putin's victory: Is Russia changing?
In the end, for all the fevered discussion of recent months, Putin's third presidential election victory on March 4, 2012 looks on face value much like his previous two: a first-round landslide that surpassed all his opponents put together; the communists in a distant second, and a rag-bag of liberal, nationalist and pro-regime candidates polling in single digits. What's more, Putin's result comfortably surpassed the 49 percent score for the pro-regime United Russia party in December, the 50 percent threshold for avoiding a second-round and his 53 percent support in 2000.
Of course, this score was likely massaged: it's notable that Putin was the only candidate whose final tally surpassed the exit-poll estimate given by VTsIOM (58.3) and FOM (59.3), and even Russia-watchers who are not normally particularly anti-Putin (such as Anatoly Karlin) estimate the rate of fraud at 3-4 percent.
Still, such peripheral fraud is nothing new to Russian elections and a support base of nearly 60 percent is enviable for a leader entering his twelfth year at the political apex. But Putin's post-victory tears (though he blamed them on the bitter wind) indicate that this was Putin's most emotional and hard-fought victory yet, and perhaps one that he was never fully sure of until the count. So is the initial impression of business-as-usual merely illusory? How much has actually changed?
