Oklahoma City "The Little Engine That Could"
Posted By Susan Bible On December 26, 2011 @ 9:54 pm In All,NBA | No Comments
NBA commissioner David Stern was in Dallas and in Oklahoma City on Christmas day to attend the opening matchups of the Mavericks/HEAT and the Thunder/Magic games.
He met with reporters prior to tip-off at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City and answered a variety of questions; specifically, he addressed the new collective bargaining agreement, NBA small markets, the New Orleans Hornets, ticket sales, NBA fans and Oklahoma City.
HOOPSWORLD was there, and we put together a compilation of notable quotes from the commissioner.
Stern explained why it's good for a small market team like Oklahoma City to be a contender:
"I've spent an entire professional career making it possible for small-market teams to compete, going back to – I wasn't commissioner then – but Bill Walton and the Blazers. Karl Malone and John Stockton. San Antonio. Orlando, which used to be a small market, but now any community that has sun has changed it to a big market.
"Miami was not a major market destination until three players decided to get together there. So we think it's great when we can demonstrate that teams can compete in this league regardless of the size of the market that they represent. I think San Antonio is the best example of that, but Memphis would say 'What about us? We did well. We knocked off those Spurs and here we are.' And I think Oklahoma City with a young team is going to be a serious contender and that's good."
On the main ingredient for a small market to succeed:
"I'm going to give an answer that always ticks off half the owners. Management. That's what makes the difference. Management that markets the team right in the community, management that views the team as a community asset and gets out in the community doing the kinds of things that are socially responsible. Management that works with city leaders. Management that makes fans think they are losing sleep worrying about the competitiveness, and management that puts the best team together. That is true in all of sports. And as they carry me out, in some cases being waved out by owners that don't like me to say it, that will be the answer across all of sports. It's about management."
Given the history between the NBA and Oklahoma City, we asked the commissioner if Oklahoma City held a special place for him:
"In some ways, it does," he answered HOOPSWORLD. "Because I shared a lot of (Thunder co-owner) Clay Bennett's angst about the move, about everyone saying that a small city like this could support a team. That the NBA was making yet another mistake. And I've probably visited Oklahoma City more than any other city other than New York City, where I live, in the last several years. I was here for the first visit to see how it was going. I was here for Opening Night. I was here for playoffs. I was here for all kinds of things.
"It's really sort of like the little engine that could. It really has been a magnificent thing to watch, that the small-town label has been discarded. It's about management. It's about the city government. It's about the corporate community and it's about the fans coming together to say 'this is the way it's going to be.' I have nothing but great admiration."
On the possibility of an All-Star game being held in Oklahoma City:
"I have to know about the hotel stock. If you tell me you've got 6,000 rooms that are more or less close-in and the kind of facilities that we need, we'd absolutely consider it."
On the Hornets:
"We are talking to several interested buyers and we expect to complete a sale in the first half of 2012. The timing is a little rough, because there are certain commitments that the state is in the process of making to us on a longer-term basis so that we will execute a longer lease. We hope to announce a final buyer in the next 60 days. It will be good for New Orleans. It will be good for the NBA."
His opinion on how Miami looked against the reigning champions (Miami beat Dallas, 105-94):
"Oh they looked absolutely awesome. They came out to play. It's not uncommon for the team that gets the rings or raises the banner to be flat. I've been at a few of those. Miami was playing as though they had something to prove and I guess they did. It was a great game, but we're not going to mail the trophy anyplace yet. There's still a 66-game season to play, and I think it's going to get very interesting."
On the new CBA:
"Everyone's unhappy, that's why I think it's a good deal. It's a really important deal for the NBA. The players will still be the highest paid athletes in all of sports and in all of the world, but we will have gotten the 12% reduction which enable us, in year three, to be able to share $200 million worth of revenue.
"It's going to focus more on management. (It) will make even the most economically robust market think twice with respect to what they want to do. There are components there to make our teams more competitive to align pay with performance, because there will be shorter contracts and to reduce the percentage that goes to the players, so that we can use that to both be a little profitable and to share a very large amount of revenue. It's going to take a couple years to see it."
On the effect of a shortened training camp:
"The one thing I do know is that every time someone drops a pass, Jeff Van Gundy is going to say 'See, we should have had more training camp.' And every time someone sprains an ankle, "Ahhh…you see they're not getting enough camp." Well, wait a minute, there's a first day of camp every year and those ankle sprains come.
"Our players stay in shape year-round, they play in exhibitions. Many have played overseas. It's going to be just fine. I really believe that."
How concerned were you about the possibility of losing the casual fan due to the lockout:
"We and the players were very concerned. And I think that was the attraction or the attractiveness for us of going by Christmas day. It factored in. We did this once before. We played a 50-game schedule, and it took us awhile to dig out from that. We recognized that some fans said to themselves 'this is November, what's this about the NBA?' There's no games until January anyway or Christmas day. We know that, but we thought that Christmas day was the place to attract the casual fan."
On NBA ticket sales thus far:
"Our fans are giving us more than we probably deserve. They are buying tickets in numbers that are proximate (to) last year. It's going to be hard to match last years' numbers. The advance sales have been good, the pre-sales, the corporate response have all been outstanding and our network partners are absolutely delighted. We think we're going to do OK. It's not going to be our best year, but it's going to be a very good year considering what we've been through."
We'll end it with Stern's answer when asked if he was worried about his legacy:
"To quote Rasheed Wallace: 'We all played hard.' That's what I would like. I played hard. And you can't do anything perfectly but there we go. I don't even have a camera, because if you spent your time taking pictures you won't experience it as well as just being in it and I'm enjoy being in it. And I play hard.

"People don't respect confidentiality in this industry," says Jack Tretton, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment of America. "It's tough enough to keep a secret within your own company, much less when you speak to third parties."
He added: "This is an industry that has trouble focusing on today," he says "We want to constantly talk about tomorrow.… You have to prepare for people to know things in advance. The frustrating thing is they only know a part of the story and that opens up a lot of conjecture and misinformation that ultimately waters down the reality when you roll it out."

Presentation of an outstanding award from the French govern,ment to Prof. L. Hensley Lacy, formerly of Loyola and now of Louisiana State University, will be made between the acts of the two French comedies to be presented in Marquette auditorium next Wednesday night. The plays are 'scheduled to start at 8 p. m. The award to be made to Professor Lacy has been announced as I'Les Palmes dee Officers d'Acadamie." M. Fernand Saugon, acting counsul of the French government at New Orleans, will make the presentation. The honor is to be conferred on Professor Lacy as a token of the appreciation of the interest he has shown in French education and the spread of culture and literature. Professor Lacy was head of the department of French, and professor of English for three years at Loyola, and as moderator of the French Club, was responsible for the successful production of several French plays. He was recommended for the distinction by former counsul Rene Delage. Two highly interesting comedies are to be presented under the aus!f pices of the French Club. The first play is a well-known by Courteline, "La Paix Chei Soi" Julien Michel, junior is the College of Arts and Sciences, and Marie Therese Villere, senior 'in Ureuline College, portray the roles of Trielle and of Valentine, his wife, respectively. The action concerns the rebellion of a henpecked husband, whose wife Is constantly nagging him for more money. The husband tries to gain Jthe upper hand, but finally concedes his wife the victory. THESPIANS TO STAGE 3 ACT COMEDY SUNDAY AND MONDAY John Me Cann and Jacqueline Johnston To Carry Leads; Performance Scheduled to Start at 8 p. m. "The Show-Off", a comedy in three acts, starring John McCann and Jacqueline Johnston, will be presented in Holy Name Auditorium Sunday and Monday nights at 8 o'clock. The play is centered about the activity of an egotistical braggart, who does everything wrong, and by the very consistency of his mistakes causes everyone to like him by the time the final curtain is rung down. In the supporting cast are Clodagh Oertling, Driscoll Daspit, Catherine O'Connell, Bernard Ghio, Robert Lacey, Philip Duignan and Neckley Ferris. The play is under the direction of Dr. Alfred J. Bonomo, moderator of the Thespian society. A dress rehearsal for the nuns of the city, will be presented tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. This marks the third time that the Thespian society has endeavored to produce the play, and is the first time that the organization has been able to carry out its plans. Of the original cast, only Clodagh Oertling and Driscoll Daspit remain. The play is an excellent character analysis. The snappy dialogue has been the subject of comment among the most severe critics. In developing the characters, George Kelly showed an uncanny sense of judgement, not one circumstance in the play being incon"L'AnglaisSophomores Set Cotillion Plans Plane for the second sophomore cotillion, which, will take place some time during the latter part of January, were discussed at a meeting of the sophomore classes of the university in Marquette auditorium Wednesday noon.

Cyril Broussard, president, announced Wednesday. Campus Adorned by Many Sights As Frat Initiations Go In Swing Lack of razors and blades is not the reason for several students being seen fcround the campus with beards/as long as a "House of David" fliortstop. No, it's Just fraternity f initiation rules. For two week* before final initiation rites, thefboys are not allowed to shave. Most of the ritual of the initiations isi'kept within the closed annals off the fraternities. However, certain I "most-embarrassing" at the sanlp time ludicrous incidents inform Ithe world-at-large that such inflations are taking place. The boVs of Alpha Delta Gamma had their) fun last Saturday after the Jesuits-Eastan football game. Each pledfee begged, borrowed, or stole a cat with a blue ribbon to start his collection. Other things on the list were a white mouse, a live frog, and a dead fish. With all of this awe-inspiring paraphernalia, the boys were stationed on very prominent corners of the city to attract the attention of passers-by, giving them no end of enjoyment. Andy Reising and George Gagnet, stationed at Broadway and St. Charles, had such an enjoyable time that they fell asleep. Jimmy Salvant, who was at Broadway and Maple with Buddy Frick, was much perturbed because his cat insisted on eating his dead fish. George D'Hemecourt was at Broadway and Claiborne admiring the work being done on the Claiborne Student Dance In Honor of Football Men Slated for Thursday at Embassy Sidney's Orchestra To Furnish Music from 9 to 1 "Santa Claus is coining to town.,' And the last student dance of 1935 is on tap, promising to be the last big, event of the year. The dance, to be held at the Embassy club December 19, from 9 to 1 will feature the music of Sidney's •orchestra, and will be in honor of the football team, according to M. V. Jarreau, chairman of the dance committee. 2 Music Students Take First Places In City Contests Helen D'Antoni And Irving Lyons Are Two Winners Two students of the Loyola college of music have emerged victorious from piano-playing contests within the last 30 days. They are Miss Helen D'Antoni, sophomore, and Irving Lyons, freshman. Miss D'Antoni was one of thre* winners in the annual Young AM tints' Series contest which wi conducted on December 7 by thl Philharmonic Society of New ol leans. The purpose of the annutl contests is to give recognition tfl young musical talent in New Orleans.Mir. Lyons was named the winner in a contest conducted by the Philharmonic on November 9. He is scheduled to play Beethoven's C Minor concerto with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra on January 28 when it appears here under the auspices of the Philharmonic.Both young artists have had much previous experience of this type. Miss D'Antoni placed second in her age class in the 1930 Greater New Orleans Piano Playing Contest. In the same contest Mr. Lyons won one of the two first prizes. Miss D'Antoni was a winner in the Junior Philharmonic Series in 1933, and Mr. Lyons won in the same contest in 1932 and 1934. Feature 3 Trumpets on Recital Program The seventh Wednesday recital of the Loyola college of music was given on December 11 at 2 p. m. in Ronald Mao Donald Hall. Presented on the program were Rene Louapre, Robert Mittelstaedt, and Thomas Kelly, trumpet trio; Miss Rosemary Lafaye, pianist; Mrs. Azelie Ziegler, soprano; Miss Helen D'Antoni, pianist; and Miss Eugie Tebault, accompanist. Selections from Beethoven, Offenbach, Chopin, Sturkow-Rider, Handel, Brahms, Massenet, and Rachmaninoff were played. NOTICE The time of the dance has tern jncorgc'.^^^^BL^^ and ball teani by a TecorJ "attendance. This is the first time that Sidney and his orchestra have been secured for a student dance, and the first time that one has ever beeij held at the Embassy club, so there are two "firsts" as an added incentive to draw the crowd to enjoy one of the best dances of the year, and the last get-together of the student body. Invitations are now on the campus and may be secured from any of the following members of the dance committee: Martin Jarreau, Henry Beter, Tom Dunn, Guy Knoblock, Jr., Irvin Timmreck, Richard Wright, Abram Diaz, Stephen Rodi, Edward Cambre, John Hildebrand, Julius Meyer, and John Blasi. Loyola and Ursuline in Philosophy Meet George H. Seferovich and James T. Nix, Jr., representing the Aristotelian Forum of Loyola, engaged Misses Elizabeth Fitzgerald and Georgette Brandao of Ursuline college, Tuesday at 8:15 p. m. in the first public philosophical discussion between the two institutions. The encounter was held in the Ursuline auditorium, with John J. Me Cann, president of the Forum, acting as chairman. The resolution before the house for discussion was that "Materialistic evolution, even as a theory, is untenable, whereas, theistic evolution, even as a fact, is tenable". The representatives of the Forum defended theistic evolution, while the Ursuline representatives upheld materialistic evolution. Each speaker was allowed ten minutes to develop a constructive argument. The rebuttals were carried on in a question and answer form, with each speaker being allowed to ask the opposition questions for five minutes. After the formal discussion, the proposition was turned over to the audience for open forum.

Arklatex Chapter of Graduates Formed The Arklatex chapter of the Loyola University Alumni Association was recently formed by graduate students with headquarters at Shreveport, La., it was learned in a letter received this week. Dr. Rollin Hardin, prominent physician of Shreveport, was elected chairman of the group and Milton La Porte wae chosen as secretary.The membership of the Arklatex chapter is drawn from ex-students of the university whose residence is in eastern Texas, northwestern Louisiana, or southern Arkansas. Its purpose is to work in unison with tfte head body at New Orleans to further the interests and activities of the university. Night Co-Ed Goes To Hollywood; To Be Known As Wilma Francis The Loyola night school coeds seem to have a method of crashing the head lines. Last year Marie Louise Reynolds, former night editor of the Owl section of the Maroon, unexpectedly left town on Captain Rickenbacker's famous "dawn-to-dusk" flight. Now Wilma Sareussen, night school student, is going to Hollywood to crash the movies. Wilma Sareussen has been named as one of the five Louisiana girls who will go to filmland with a three month contract during the time of trial, according to Ben Piazza, Paramount scout who came to New Orleans searching for talented young actors and actresses."Miss Sauressen will adopt the name of Wilma Francis for screen purposes. She is a striking Nordic type. Her father •was Norwegian and her mother French. She is just the type for splendid photography and I look for her to develop under the guiding hand of Hollywood dramatic experts," Mr. Piazza, who has interviewed approximately 150 boys and girls a day, asserted. Wilma expects to leave New Orleans shortly after the Christmas holidays. Once in Hollywood, she intends to get down to the real business of understanding what movie-fans want to watch. She will be trained in the Paramount Dramatic Training school under the guidance of Phyllis This Is Aubrey John J. McCann, who takes the leading role as Aubrey Piper In the Thespian production the "Show-Off" -which will be staged Sunday and Monday at 8 p. m. in Holy Name auditorium. McCann is president of the Thespian society and has been very active in dramatics during the past three years. His part in the sterling performance of the "Ninth Guest" last year gave rise to much favorable comment. In his present role McCann is seen as a boisterou, egotistical, know-it-all and guarantees the audience many laughs. Journalism Classes See Picayune Plant Members of the first and second year classes of journalism made a tour of the plant of the Times-Picayune-New Orleans States Wednesday night, Dr. Hugh M. Blain, head of the department, announced yesterday. The tour is made each year aa part of the work of journalism.The students were taken from the city room, where a story is handed in by a reporter, to the copy reader's and head-writer's desks, through the linotype room, the composing department, the matrix and cylinder departments, the proof-readers' desk and finally the press, room. All operations of each department were fully explained in addition to the operations of the Associated Press teletype machines. Arts Dean Made Unit President The Rev. James A. Greeley, S. J., dean of the college of arts and sciences, was elected president of a Southern Regional Unit, college and univereity department, of the National Catholic Educational Association at a recent meeting of 30 Catholic colleges of the South held in conjunction with the Southern Association of Colleges convention in Louisville, Kentucky, it was reported this week. Father Greeley, at a meeting of the national organization in 1934 at Atlanta, was appointed chairman of a committee to arrange for the formation of such, an organization. The commiittee was approved at the national convention this year in Chicago, and when the Southern representatives were present at the meeting of the Southern Association they availed themselves of the opportunity, and formed the Southern unit. The unit will meet annually at the same time and in the same place as the Pouthern Association. The Very Rev. John W, Hynes, S. J., president, and the Rev. P. A. Roy, S.J., regent of the college of arts and sciences, represented Loyola at the meeting. The purpose of the unit is to study regional problems and points of interest and present these to the National Catholic Educational Association for consideration when it holds its national convention each year.

Cheap hotels near Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich, Switzerland
Stretching its way from the central train station to the lake, Bahnhofstrasse twinkles with glitzy jewelry shops and designer boutiques. The pedestrian-only shopping boulevard is often out of a Cheapo's price range but it's a fine place for observing the extremely wealthy in their natural habitat.
The "frogs to riches" avenue was originally medieval Zurich's moat, Fröschengraben (or "Frogs' Ditch"), filled in and renamed for the train station (hauptbahnhof) in 1864. At its heart is Paradeplatz—home to major financial institutions like Credit Suisse and the source of its "Bank Street" nickname. Rumor (and many a spy novel) has it that the street's subterranean vaults hide silver, gold and a sizeable chunk of the world's offshore assets.
Bürkliplatz, at the lake end of Bahnhofstrasse, is a great jumping off point for boating adventures or walking the lake. And on Saturdays between May and October, frugal shoppers can find great steals at the square's flea market.
Hotels near Bahnhofstrasse: As is fitting for one of the world's most expensive avenues, hotels located in Bahnhofstrasse's immediate surroundings are quite pricey. But on the other side of the Limmat River, less than a 10-minute walk away, the cobblestone streets of Aldstadt are home to a few affordable hotels, and there are also deals to be had in Langstrasse, about 15 minutes in the other direction.
Alexander Guesthouse
starAddress Zähringerstr 16 (Altstadt)
The two-star Alexander Guesthouse offers 20 simple rooms and a fabulous location in the heart of Old Town.

Situated in the eclectic Langstrasse neighborhood, the three-star Anwand Lodges offers urban convenience and quaint charm, with respectable rates, to boot.
Address Heinrichstrasse 68 (Zurich West)
Situated in the trendy Zurich West area, the three-star Casa Heinrich Guesthouse offers 33 comfortable, kitchenette-equipped guestrooms and a back garden.
Address Niederdorfstrasse 5 (Altstadt)
It's quite basic, but the inexpensive City Backpacker Hostel Biber is located smack in the heart of Zurich.
Address Brauerstrasse 87 (Langstrasse)
The colorful, pet-friendly Dakini's B&B is run by the feisty artist Susanne Seiler and her adorable dog. It offers eight unique rooms (with shared bathrooms) near the funky, happening West district.

'Avatar' is the Asia-Pacific title of a 2004, English-language film known otherwise as 'Cyber Wars', and one of the few cyberpunk films my local video shop feels that it should stock. Why I think its deserving of a review, I dont know, but here goes:
Directed by:
Jian Hong Kuo
Written by:
Christopher Hatton
IMDB Reference:
Degree of Cyberpunk Visuals:
Correlation to Cyberpunk Themes:
Key Cast Members:
Dash MacKenzie: Genevieve OReilly
Victor Huang: Luoyong Wang
Joseph Lau: David Warner
6 out of 10
Few would consider Singapore to be the home of cutting-edge science fiction and even less would be swayed by the island nations first science fiction film, Avatar. the first forty minutes are cringe-worthy; poorly constructed characters, dodgy VFX and some of the worst dialogue outside a Ishiro Honda film are likely to put many viewers off straight away. However, Avatar offers a little more than your cookie-cutter tale of good vs. evil wrapped in a sleek (if not cardboard-like) sci-fi setting. Transhumanism, corporate greed, social engineering, cheating death all feature in an interesting little science fiction romp that unfortunately suffers from a very limited budget. Our story begins
In the early 21st century, the entire free world is connected through the CyberLink (think internet meets cyberspace), the backbone of all communication and financial trading (ie. the stock exchange). the influence of the CyberLink is most felt in the city-state of Sintawan, a sprawling metropolis where corporate greed and personal gain rise above all else. Men (and women) such as Joseph Lau (David Warner, ladies and gentlemen!) are practically Gods over their own domain, the CyberLink ensuring their continued dominance over Sintawan through the megacorporations. Five megacorporations in particular one of which is owned by Lau - appear locked in an epic game of wits with the people of Sintawan as the chess pieces.
Not that the people actually realise this, oh no. They are too busy with their own private agendas to even notice! Although a vast majority of CyberLink users are legitimate, illegal users do exist and often use SIMPLANTS to hide their true identities (sort of like using a disguise and a false ID). SIMPLANT-users are often tracked down by freelance bounty hunters such as Dash MacKenzie (OReilly) or, more commonly, by Ident cops such as Detective Vic Huang. Dash is contacted by Joseph Lau as are the Ident Police to track down an illegal SIMPLANT-user, Edward Chang. It seems straightforward enough, until Dash and Detective Huang discover a massive conspiracy involving the CyberLink, Joseph Lau and the other megacorporations. This game just got deadly
To be frank, Avatar is hardly award-winning entertainment (though apparently it has already picked up two at a Spanish film festival) and will not blow anyones socks off. It is not destined to become a sci-fi classic or even a cult film, and is likely already forgotten by those that noticed it to begin with. Though it is not without its merits; the technology is fantastic: holograms are often used to hide the truth (such as disguising the fact that a prominent, five-star hotel is in desperate need of an exterminator and a few coats of paint), handheld communicators for video calls, micro-scale robots disguised as insects (such as beetles and dragonflies) that are used to project holograms and undertake surveillance, the concept of people that live
the CyberLink and those that have augmented their bodies with technology (such as my friend below) it is absolutely incredible that so much was achieved on such a limited budget.
the Bottom Line:
If you watch this film as I did whereby I was expecting your typical, low-budget sci-fi action romp then you might be pleasantly surprised. Though not that greatly. Avatar is a film possibly best suited to die-hard sci-fi fans with no sense of taste (like
) and who are easily impressed by a few interesting ideas and flashy set pieces (also like
). Otherwise, steer clear and stick to the bane of thinking-mans science fiction (yes, I
referring to the Matrix sequels). Avatar has plenty of ideas, though permitting it any more than six stars would be a crime and an insult. the bottom line: CONSUME AT YOUR OWN RISK.[/img]

Hi Hughie522, awesome! Would it be possible to expound upon some of the interesting thoughts you see from this movie? You have it listed as "high" on the themes scale. If so, hopefully Cyber Wars prompted some interesting musings from you.
Yes sir, I can boogie...

Some random musings full of plenty of Earth-shattering ***SPOILERS***!
Well, potential ***SPOILERS***...
Ravers are part of Sintawans subculture. Augmented human beings with a gang mentality, they are fiercely anti-corporate and anti-government. Ravers are all connected through a telepathic link-up that is separate from the CyberLink and frequently use crash-bangs (handheld electromagnetic pulse devices) to damage the city-states infrastructure (ie. at one point in the film an organised group of ravers attempt to take down Sintawans mass transit system and partly succeed). All appear to have the same left-brain implants that have an almost retro feel to them. Possibly the coolest part of the film.
There already exists cities with populations and gross domestic products (GDPs) greater than that of most third- and second-world countries. Sintawan appears to be governed by an organisation similar to the United Nations, though the corporations have been challenging this seat of power for some time. It is not too far fetched to stipulate that a large enough city (such as New York) could break off from the mainland and declare itself an independent state in the near future.
Though never referred to as holograms as such, these feature predominantly in the film. For example, one of the corporate heads is suffering from terminal cancer and has had his body put in a state of hibernation. His mind, however, remains fully function and an avatar (a holographic representation of him) continues to act as the functioning head of the corporation, albeit only within the confines of his office. As mentioned before, holograms are also used to cloak certain objects and sometimes create very believable deceptions (such as the six-star hotel).
Surveillance and Bugging:
Mini-robots disguised as very believable imitations of dragonflies (and to a lesser extent, beetles) are used throughout the film for audio and visual surveillance and the projecting of holograms. If you think that you have been bugged, then you are probably right!
the Spirit and the Flesh:
Several characters (and one in particular) practically live inside the CyberLink. One such characters body is a complete mess (he is severely overweight and is always jacked in) while his spirit seems almost free within the virtual confines of the CyberLink. the CyberLink also offers a sort of perpetual afterlife for those who have died in the real world (much like Armin Mueller-Stahls character in the Thirteenth Floor).
Social Engineering:
Suppose that chaos theory is true; that every action and every decision radiates outwards and has an effect on other things and other actions and other decisions, exponentially increasing as it pushes out. Now suppose that chaos theory is somehow controlled. That someone higher up is pushing all the buttons, willing us into certain actions and certain decisions that is slowly shaping our culture. Now imagine that person higher up is one of five corporate heads, who are all out to win a game of wits with human beings as the game pieces. Scary, no? This is the BIG issue in Avatar, and the one that ninety percent of the film is structured around. So what if the game has brought great prosperity to the people of Sintawan; its still motivated by greed, is it not? Is destroying the game worth the cost destroying modern society?

Elijah Wood steps into the bloody boots of Joe Spinell in this reboot of the 1980 horror film that takes you into the killer's POV. On the surface Frank (Wood) may look like just another skinny L.A. hipster, but don't be fooled -- he's a deeply disturbed killer with a penchant for collecting the scalps of pretty young women. The young proprietor of his late mother's mannequin-restoration business, Frank scours the city streets by moonlight seeking silky heads of hair, skillfully removing them with his massive hunting knife before bringing them back to his apartment, and stapling them to the heads of his rigid roommates. One sunny day, surprised by the appearance of pretty French photographer Anna (Nora Arnezeder) on his doorstep, Frank warily lets her snap pictures of his "unaltered" mannequins, and agrees to allow her use the images for an upcoming gallery display. Before long the pair strike up a friendship, with Anna admiring Frank's restoration work as he marvels at her creative eye for detail. Charming as Frank may be in his encounters with Anna, he remains deeply haunted by the childhood traumas inflicted upon him by his loose mother, whose idea of bonding involved allowing him to observe her drug-fueled threesomes. When Anna's gallery display draws an impressive crowd, she remains deeply indebted to Frank. Little does the unsuspecting artist realize, however, that her biggest supporter might also be the death of her. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Haute Tension and Hills Have Eyes director Alexandre Aja pays homage to the films that made him fall in love with the horror genre by helming this comedic remake of director Joe Dante's 1978 Jaws parody. Lake Victoria may look peaceful, but beneath the placid waters of this painterly lake lurks a deadly menace. A powerful underwater tremor has released scores of man-eating prehistoric fish into the waters, and now it's up to a group of unlikely heroes to band together and defeat the razor-toothed predators. With time running out and the aquatic carnivores taking over, one brave heroine (Elisabeth Shue) will risk everything to save the lake and prevent her family from becoming fish food. Richard Dreyfuss, Ving Rhames, Jerry O'Connell, and Adam Scott star in the Dimension Films production. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Kiefer Sutherland stars as an NYPD detective-turned-security guard who discovers something sinister lurking in the mirrors of a fire-damaged department store in Haute Tension writer/director Alexandre Aja's menacing study in the origins of evil. It's been just about a year since mercurial police detective Ben Carson (Sutherland) was suspended from the NYPD for the fatal shooting of an undercover officer, and ever since that fateful day he's been locked in a self-destructive spiral of anger and alcoholism. Increasingly isolated from his wife and kids, Ben spends most nights crashed-out at his sister Angela's (Amy Smart) apartment in Queens. But Ben hasn't given up hope just yet, and in order to get his life back together and prove that he's still capable of supporting his family he takes a job as the night watchman at the Mayflower department store. The Mayflower used to be a lavish symbol of inner-city prosperity, that is, until a raging inferno gutted the building while claiming numerous lives in the process. These days, the Mayflower is a scorched reminder of human misery, the ornate mirrors therein reflecting a suffering so profound that it begins to wear on Ben's already-fragile psyche. Not only that, but whatever force dwells behind the shimmering glass seems to have gained the power to alter reality as well.
After Ben gazes into the mirrors and sees a vision of himself being relentlessly tortured, he is horrified to experience violent convulsions, spontaneous bleeding, and frightening asphyxiation. And while his sister is always willing to lend a sympathetic ear, she chalks the anomalies up to an unusually potent mix of stress and anxiety. Unfortunately for Ben, his estranged wife, Amy (Paula Patton), isn't nearly as forgiving. A prosaic NYPD medical examiner who has seen her fair share of tragedy, Amy fears that Ben's erratic behavior could be placing their children in danger. Later, as Ben begins to draw connections between his increasingly gruesome visions and a former Mayflower security guard who vanished without a trace, he begins to suspect that an unimaginable evil is using the mirrors as a gateway into the real world, and that his family is in mortal danger from forces beyond their realm of understanding. Perhaps if he Ben can manage to convince Amy that their children's lives are at risk, he can summon the courage to face the greatest evil he has ever known. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A corporate workaholic finds that her decision to work late on Christmas Eve has potentially deadly consequences in this thriller starring Wes Bentley and Rachel Nichols. It's that time of the year, and as the snow falls outside and families gather around the dinner table, Angela vows to close one last deal before the holiday. Now late for her family gathering, Angela rushes down to the garage in hopes of racing home and catching dinner before it gets cold. When her car refuses to start, her phone fails to get a signal, and everyone else has already left, it begins to appear as if Angela's luck may have finally run out. Thankfully, a friendly security guard appears and offers to lend a helping hand. During the course of discussion, the security guard flirtatiously invites Angela to share the Christmas dinner he has prepared in the parking office -- an offer that the high-powered corporate climber laughingly dismisses. The next thing Angela knows, she wakes up tied to a chair in the cold security office located on level P2. It appears as if the security guard's invitation wasn't optional, and that Christmas dinner was the last thing on his mind. Upon realizing just how serious her situation truly is, Angela struggles to escape her subterranean prison and make it out so that she might live to see another Christmas morning. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

French filmmaker Alexandre Aja writes and directs the slasher film Haute Tension, given the English title Switchblade Romance. Best friends Marie (Cécile De France) and Alex (Maïwenn Le Besco) go out to the countryside to visit Alex's parents. However, a homicidal delivery man (played by Philippe Nahon from Gaspar Noé's brutal movies) ends up at their house and starts killing everyone. Alex and Marie fight for their lives with help from several means of weaponry. Switchblade Romance was shown at the 2003 Toronto Film Festival as part of the Midnight program. The film was aquired by US distributor Lions Gate Films in 2004 and quickly put into turnaround as an NC-17 release, though plans for that were scrapped due to a lack of theater support of the controversial rating. Retitled High Tension, the R-rated version is missing one minute of grisly gore and features a redubbed audio track by star Cécile De France. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

La-bas ... mon pays
The bitter legacy of the French/Algerian War set the stage of this drama from director Alexandre Arcady, himself a Frenchman of Algerian birth. Pierre Nivel (Antoine DeCaunes) is a noted French television journalist and network anchorman. One day, he receives an unexpected visitor, an Algerian man with a message from someone named Leila. Pierre was born in Algeria, and he lived there until he was 17, when the French were forced to leave after Algeria won its independence in 1962. He's kept his Algerian past a secret from most of his friends and colleagues, but the note from Leila, his teenage sweetheart, leads him back to the land of his birth. It turns out that Leila now has a grown daughter, Amina (Nozha Khouadra), and Leila needs Pierre's help to smuggle her and her daughter out of the country. A defiant woman, Amina's refusal to go through with an arranged marriage to a fundamentalist and removal of her veil in public has put both herself and her family in great danger. La Bas ... Mon Pays/Return to Algiers was the first French production to be shot on location in Algeria since the nation won its independence. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Combining romance, science fiction and a political parable, Furia takes place in the future, after an oppressive government, which has shut down all political opposition, recognizes art as a means of free expression -- and therefore bans painting on public surfaces. Theo (Stanislas Merhar) is an activist artist who creates paintings on walls under the cover of darkness, despite the fact his bother Laurence (Wadek Stanczak) works with the local government. Their father Aaron (Pierre Vaneck), a local barkeep, used to paint, but when he was caught, the color was taken from his eyes and now he can only see in monochrome. When Theo meets another rebel artist, the lovely Elia (Marion Cotillard), he's immediately smitten, and when she's arrested and subjected to torture, Theo tries to have himself caught so he can be with her (and protect her) behind bars. Furia was adapted by director and co-screenwriter Alexandre Aja from a short story by Julio Cortazar, an Argentinian refugee who fled to Paris in the era when rebellious citizens were "disappearing" -- 30,000 in all. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Once you reach this stage of mind, you are blessed with all human qualities of head and heart. Only this kind of mind-stage gives one the possibility of having a life that is truly one with the self.
The Siddhas in the Yoga Vasistha has a story of King Janaka of Videha and self-realisation. The 'songs' in these teachings are so influential that Janaka got realisation soon after listening to them. The Siddhas say that the knowledge of the self confers bliss and helps the merger of the knower and the known. It was primarily this message that the king imbibed and became 'alone' and thus free from all kinds of material needs and desires for the self. He could thus rule selflessly and dispassionately, adding to his subjects' welfare and happiness.
I am always impressed when I recall Swiss philosopher Henry Fredric Amiel, "Life is too short and we never have enough time for gladdening the hearts of those who travel the way with us. Oh, be swift with love, make haste to be kind." That is the way to go in life; and a life fulfilled is a life given to others. Fulfilment, after all, lies in a life shared to unburden your fellow travellers' pain and worries.
Life in its true essence is giving; and the joy of giving is great. George Granville says, "What we frankly give, forever is our own." The moral: Giving is receiving.

August 2, 2011 Integrated Marketing and the 4 Types of Marketers [DMA11]
It's called integrated marketing communication (IMC for short) and if you think those are just a few meaningless words thrown together to create a phrase that sounds packed with significance but actually isn't, then you really need to read this article. IMC is the unifying factor behind the recent practice by many companies in developing integrated marketing campaigns, which essentially takes traditional methods of marketing and throws them in a blender with social media marketing, email marketing, and mobile marketing. And the result is a lot tastier than you could possibly imagine.
First, a quick look at the world of marketers – of which there are four uniquely different types:
1. Those that put all of their eggs into the social media basket. Many of these are newer companies that haven't been around long enough to have developed traditional marketing strategies outside of the online universe.
2. Those that are hesitant to try social media, preferring to stay within the comfortable realm of traditional marketing. It's not just megalithic corporations that have been around 100-plus years that are doing this sort of thing, but you do find that most companies who haven't yet dipped their feet into the social media pool aren't exactly known for being mavericks.
3. Those who dabble in both. A lot of companies take this approach, almost as if they're taking a really extended "taste test" to see if either option is worth pursuing at 100 percent commitment. But not every company is commitment-shy. Many operate both social media campaigns and traditional marketing campaigns at full tilt, but keep both efforts completely separate. As if the two didn't go together like peanut butter and chocolate.
4. Those who mix it all together and take a chug from the universal decanter. Call them brave souls or trailblazers, but there are many marketers out there that understand the potential of integrated marketing campaigns and aren't wasting any time.
Which one of these aforementioned four types stands to gain the most ground in today's ever-morphing marketing environment? It's not any of the first three. Which makes perfect sense, when you think about it. On the one hand, it would be downright foolish for a company to abandon all traditional methods of marketing in favor of going full-on social – just as foolish as it would be to ignore social media altogether and waste time wishing for its expeditious demise. Dabbling may get you places, but the only way to return actual results is to put your full force and power behind a combination marketing punch.
The bottom line is, you can't bring down a giant by firing individual pea-shooter shots and hoping to hit a bull's-eye that results in, say, viral marketing success. It can happen, sure. But those instances are the exception, not the rule. If you really want to take down that giant, you've got to combine all of your artillery and take carefully calculated shots. This is the theory behind integrated marketing campaigns. It's also the methodology behind some of the greatest digital marketing success stories.
If you want to learn more about integrated marketing communication and how to create an integrated marketing campaign, pay a visit to the DMA2011 Conference & Exhibition this October in Boston. You'll have the opportunity to listen to speeches from experts in the field of digital marketing, take part in workshops and one-to-one labs, and network with thousands of your peers who all have the same goal in mind: creating a killer digital marketing campaign.

B.C.'s Medical Services Plan premiums are "grossly regressive" in the way they penalize lower-income British Columbians and should be scrapped in favour of higher taxes for all, says the B.C. director of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.
B.C. is the only Canadian province that bills people directly for universal health coverage, said Seth Klein, calling MSP payments a tax because they are mandatory and levied by government.
In a report released Tuesday, Klein and economist Iglika Ivanova outline a "revenue-neutral way" to scrap MSP premiums. They suggest increasing tax rates in all five provincial tax brackets by 20 per cent, as well as adding two new brackets, with rates of 20 and 22 per cent for those earning $150,000 and $200,000, respectively.
The changes would raise $2.2 billion in a "much more progressive" way that would have higher earners paying higher rates. Right now, all individuals earning more than $30,000 annually pay the same $798 per year in premiums.
A family of four with an average household income of $60,000 pays more in MSP premiums than it does in provincial income taxes — $1,526 versus $1,190. The B.C. Ministry of Finance says the provincial income tax paid by that family has declined from $1,835 in 2007 — leaving the family ahead by $405, despite the premium.
Klein calls that amount "piddly" compared with the overall tax shift in favour of corporations and upper-income households. "A household in the top one per cent, earning more than $300,000 per year, has seen a reduction in their total tax bill of $41,000 a year" since 2000, Klein said.
Even with the changes, B.C. residents with incomes up to $1 million would still pay less tax than in 2000 and B.C. would still have the third-lowest tax rate in Canada, Klein said. Yet anyone earning $50,000 or less annually — the majority of B.C. taxpayers — would benefit from the centre's recommendations, he said.
The premiums are inconsequential for upper-income families but significant for modest-income ones, the report says, adding many higher-income people have MSP premiums paid by their employers, while lower-income earners often pay it themselves.
MSP fees have gone up 85 per cent since 2000, the centre says, but Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid points out the health-care budget has almost doubled in that period.
MacDiarmid doesn't anticipate any public consultation on MSP premiums before the May 14 election and stressed that in overall taxation policy, B.C. stacks up "very, very well against other provinces."
Before comparing B.C. with provinces that roll health-care premiums into income tax, she said, it's worth noting that Ontario has "a horrendous financial situation" and Quebec relies on billions of dollars in transfer payments from other provinces. However, the struggles of lower-income people to pay the premiums merit discussion, she said.
Alberta eliminated health-care premiums in 2009.
"I'd be quite prepared to look at this and I think our government would as well, but before we would make any sort of changes to taxation, there would need to be a very broad and deep consultation about what we would do differently," McDiarmid said.

• On Jan. 1, Medical Services Plan premiums increased by four per cent for all individuals and families earning more than $30,000. Annual premiums now range from $798 for singles to $1,446 for couples and $1,526 for families.
• B.C. charges the same fee regardless of personal income above the cut-off for a subsidy.
• Premiums are forecast to bring in $2.02 billion this year. That pays for about 12 per cent of the total health-care budget.
• Under a Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives scheme, B.C.'s five tax rates would rise by 20 per cent to 6.07 per cent, 9.24 per cent, 12.6 per cent, 14.75 per cent and 17.64 per cent. Someone earning $50,000 would see their income taxes increase by $574 but no would no longer pay MSP of $798 per year. Those earning $500,000 would no longer pay the $798 MSP premium but would pay $27,548 more in income tax. The same person would have paid $41,000 more in 2000.
• There are 4.6 million people enrolled in MSP. About 2.285 million are enrolled in MSP under group accounts, including employers — who sometimes pay the full premium for employees — First Nations and Ministry of Social Development clients, the Health Ministry says.
• MSP premium bills are sent directly to 2.3 million B.C. residents. Another 800,000 very-low-income residents are exempt from premiums. Almost two thirds of B.C. seniors are billed.

I have considered to had a IGF product to my stack have heard good and bad stuff but I rather get opinions from people who have use it is it worth it?
I used it for a few months. I have arthritis in shoulders and felt like it helped me with better range of motion. I didnt see or feel much of anything else. I was paying $80 a month and didn't feel it was worth the $.
Murk has a log out there right now. He is running an IGF product... Check it out. Just a suggestion.Originally Posted by LS1Sick

IGF2 the branded supplement is not real IGF2, it is just the hyped up name of the product.
IGF2 the hormone is useless for bodybuilding. It's role in the body is mostly when you're a baby and your body is still forming, and in formation of your organs.
I think most people who say IGF1 doesn't work have gotten a low purity product or damaged the IGF1 during reconstitution or storage. It's real easy to degrade the peptide. Besides the pumps, recomp and fatloss the results only show up in time but you will be able to maintain a heavier lean body mass off cycle after a few decent IGF1 cycles, preferably with AAS.
for you.. no it is not.

CEP: AIChE Journal Highlight - Survival of the Fittest: an Economic Perspective on novel Biofuels
Drop-in biofuels — so named because they can be blended with current fuels in any proportion without modifying existing infrastructure — for the transportation sector have attracted increasing attention. In general, these liquid fuels offer several advantages over first-generation biofuels (i.e., ethanol from corn), including high energy density, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and compatibility with the status quo (e.g., piping infrastructure, internal combustion engines, and supply logistics). Despite these advantages, though, biofuels compete with fossil fuels almost exclusively on economic grounds, say Daniel Klein-Marcuschamer and Harvey W. Blanch of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the December AIChE Journal Perspective article, "Survival of the Fittest: An Economic Perspective on the Production of Novel Biofuels."

The Chinese toast, gan bei, means 'dry glass' or 'bottoms up'. Traditionally, you should not drink until after the first toast has been made. The guest of honour makes the first toast. Though many gan bei toasts may be made throughout the evening, you only have to drink to the bottom of your glass on the first toast (a lucky thing if you are imbibing the local spirit, baijou); men drain their glasses and, raising and tilting their glass slightly, show each other that it is empty. Ladies are expected only to take a sip.
It is an important sign of courtesy for the lower ranking member of two people toasting to keep his or her glass slightly lower than that of the higher-ranking person. The greater the difference in status between the two people, the bigger the difference in height should be. You will impress your Chinese host and give him considerable 'face' if, before your glasses meet, you ceremoniously lower your glass in relation to his.
Be sure always to reciprocate a toast made to you. When, in 1970, President Nixon made his historic visit to China, Secretary of State Alexander Haig and his staff neglected to do this and caused considerable offense.
In Europe, it depends on the culture whether you actually 'clink' glasses when you toast or not. In Hungary, for example, clinking is considered bad luck, especially with beer. At what level you hold your glass, however, generally does not matter very much. In Bulgaria, don't empty your glass completely unless you want it to be refilled. In the Czech Republic, Scandinavia and Holland, do look into someone's eyes when you are toasting them and don't break eye contact until you have put your glass down.

SAN DIEGO (AP) - San Diego County health officials say four more residents have died from the flu, bringing the total number there to six.
Spokesman Jose Alvarez said Tuesday that the number of illnesses in the region was also on the rise and it's not too late to get vaccinated.
State health department spokesman Corey Egel said there have been at least four other flu-related deaths in California this season.
The state doesn't track deaths in people over age 65 because they are more common and don't indicate influenza severity.
State officials warned last week that incidence of flu is on the rise, though California's numbers have been comparatively low so far this season.
