ABC7 and Oscars Returns to Cablevision!
According to Rebecca Campbell GM and president of W ABC7 ,
"We've made significant progress, and have reached an agreement in principle that recognizes the fair value of ABC7, with deal points that we expect to finalize with Cablevision. Given this movement, we're pleased to announce that ABC7 will return to Cablevision households while we work to complete our negotiations."
Now you can watch your Oscars in peace! I still want to know the retransmission price. Please Rebecca, do tell!
ABC7 vs Cablevision: How much does ABC want Cablevision to pay?
Alert! ABC7 is now back on the air.
As March 7th looms closer, Cablevision steps up their game by adding Twitter and Facebook groups to counteract against ABC's Twitter and Facebook fan page.
For now it appears viewers are siding with Cablevision. I think ABC kind of shot themselves in the foot when they released a letter to FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski. In this letter it answers the question if other "cable" providers pay for the rights to broadcast ABC on their service.
I can definitely see a change ABC's attitude. It's tilting more towards the "we demand to be payed" rather than it's Cablevision's fault.
However Cablevision is pretty aggressive with their attacks against ABC, and their bold claims may hurt them in the end.
After some research involving the FCC broadcast rules and the letter recently released to FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, it appears other "cable" companies such as Comcast, Verizon Fios, do in fact pay some portion for ABC.
The charges each companies pay are kept private. However this fee is automatically included in the standard TV service. Remember the exact amount is unclear, unless otherwise stated by a news source or the companies themselves.
Taken from the FCC's website:
In general, a cable television operator has the right to select the channels and services that are available on its cable system. With the exception of certain channels like local broadcast television channels which are required to be carried by federal law…
Cable companies generally are required to offer a basic service tier. The company generally requires all subscribers to purchase this tier before purchasing additional video programming. The basic service tier is required to include, at a minimum, the local broadcast television stations and the public, educational, and governmental (PEG) access channels that the operator may be required to offer pursuant to an agreement with the local government.
Being a part of any cable network including FIOS, you are required to pay for the basic service tier which includes ABC7 and other local channels. When ABC says you have been paying to access ABC7, they are indeed correct. The exact amount you pay for ABC is not shown. However, you can see their proposed amount at the bottom of this post. As for the claim if Cablevision has been pocketing the money, I have no clue. There isn't any way for me to see what's actually done with the money.
This question was asked by one of my commenters and I wanted to know as well. For the most part, using over the air "rabbit ears" antannea, you are not charged to view ABC in standard and high definition. ABC broadcasts this signal for free. However, it appears, according to the letter, they do in fact negotiate how much each television provider is required to pay to access their local channels.
As the deadline approaches for the retransmission consent negotiations over carriage of ABC signals with Cablevision's New York service area… Retransmission consent negotiations are private discussions between broadcasters and cable or satellite operators for access of programming on one side, and access to pay-tv distribution on the other…
Services providers and programmers are closest to their viewers and in a better position than the government to weigh the costs and benefits of carriage deals…
Basically the letter is pretty much saying, get your government hands off my healthcare! Oops I meant to say, ABC doesn't want any governmental influence over their private negotiations with Cablevision. So yes, ABC wants to negotiate a deal with Cablevision demanding a certain price to access their channels.
This "retransmission consent" results into whats known as a retransmission fee. Every broadcast network including ABC, NBC, CBS, and PBS can negotiate a certain rate at which a cable company should pay to access their channels.
(Read more about Retransmission Consent)
Unfortunately if both parties can not agree upon a retransmission fee negotiation, the broadcast network can indeed pull the plug. Even Verizon FIOS has to submit to these retransmission fees as seen in this article with Univision networks.
Yet the letter also shows that their channel's programming can be viewed in different forms of media, especially over the air and the internet for free. They also mention how you can watch their shows on a "phone company" TV. Hmm I wonder who that could be.
To take this into perspective lets look at Time Warner Cable vs FOX. From the dispute resolutions it appears FOX wanted around $1 per cable customer to carry their networks. According to NY Times, although the source wanted to claim anonymity, Time Warner Cable thought 30 cents per cable customer was a reasonable amount. You can apply the same principle to ABC and Cablevision. Someone wants a raise, but who's going to pay?
Again, according to NY Times, ABC wants around $1 per cable customer per month and Cablevision believes 25 cents per cable customer was a reasonable amount.
ABC believes Cablevision should cough up the dough anyway since, "if you were one of the largest cable providers in the tri-state area, and you made $7.7 billion dollars in 2009 (an increase of $542 million from the year before) why would you refuse to pay ABC7 for their content?"
The latest SaveABC7 campaign shows a Cablevision bill charging $16.72 for Basic Cable. We won't really know how much each local channel demands. Although, you can assign a basic dollar and cents amount to each local broadcasting channel, then total that amount.
Local Channels broadcasting in my area:
- One CBS + HD Channel
- Two NBC + HD Channels
- Three FOX + HD Channels (including MyNetwork TV)
- Two ABC + HD Channels (Asking for 1$ per cable customer)
- One CW + HD Channels
- Two PBS Channels
This basic tier also includes channels such as ION Television, several ABC owned cable channels, and several FOX owned cable channels. Just by assigning a price to each individual "must have" broadcast channel, you can see how this basic cable bill really adds up.
I don't really want to take any sides. I just feel as if both companies aren't telling the whole story and it leaves people in the dark as to what's really going on.
I'd like to see these negotiations made in public so the viewer himself can decide who's right and who's wrong.

ABC7 vs Cablevision: ABC May Go OFF the Air March 7th! Here we go again.
Alert! ABC is back on the air!
Here we go again! This time ABC7 and Cablevision are at a dispute over "network fees" which may result in Cablevision customers losing ABC7 in the Tristate area. It feels like every two months, a new network wants to negotiate a deal that a Cable company disagrees with. In the end we're placed with scary commercials, blogs, twitters, facebook groups, all taking sides over who's right and who's wrong.
In a nutshell: ABC is proposing new fees to cover the cost of their programming. Cablevision finds these fees excessive and doesn't want customers to see a rate hike.
Being an observant viewer, I am instantly aware each company will place smear campaigns and tactics against the other company. It's really interesting if you take the time to notice how each company tries their best to place viewers on their side. It leaves people like me utterly confused, and utterly devastated as you see two conflicting viewpoints and have no idea who to believe. It annoys me even further when fans start Facebook Groups and Fan pages blaming the other company for their problems. What you have to realize that this is pretty much a political fight between two candidates.
Learning from it's past mistakes Cablevision did something interesting. When you turn on your TV provided you have a digital cable box, the TV automatically goes to Channel 1999 which brings up a message from Cablevision!
This is extremely significant because HGTV and FOODTV had the upper hand by informing viewers first. Upon news articles, blogs, twitter postings, even a SAVE FOOD Network site, all forms of media brought everyone as much as they can together against the evil Cablevision!
Cablevision claims:
- ABC wants to charge excessive fees and is threatening to pull ABC7 off the air.
- ABC is demanding 40 million dollars in new fees.
- Cablevision has already been paying 200 million dollars for ABC.
- Cablevision offered numerous "fair" proposals but ABC top executives wouldn't agree.
Cablevision throughout their various ads list several reasons as to why suddenly ABC wants an increase in fees. Their main point is how ABC "allegedly" is losing money in various markets, and they need some way to regain their losses.
Cablevision believes:
- ABC advertising revenues are down.
- ABC's theme parks are struggling.
- ABC needs to continue funding ESPN for expensive sports broadcasting rights.
And the biggest kicker, "ABC needs to keep up with their executive salaries and bonuses." What better way to rile the audience to your side by making such a bold claim. This ad runs on in an incessant loop using a deep voice instilling fear into the audience. Cablevision proposes to be on YOUR side and will do anything to make a fair deal or so we think… In fact Cablevision is apologizing first, thus placing the blame on ABC as to why your network will go off the air.
With flashy graphics and riveting music, ABC's ads will play the role of the innocent victim. "Cablevision wants LOST to get lost" runs the headline of their latest website. Expect even more websites to pop up on various social networking sites as the day draws near.
From my experience, viewers usually tend to side with the networks. This is only because they "can't watch their favorite shows", and they wouldn't dare watch another network or quite frankly watch episodes online for free… (oops…)
ABC Claims:
- Cablevision charges broadcast fees every month to carry ABC7
- Cablevision pays nothing for ABC, instead the customer pays the bill.
- Cablevision is pocketing broadcast fee money for their own.
- Cablevision "believes" ABC7 is worth little to nothing.
- Cablevision proposed offers that were unreasonable and unrealistic.
So ABC's biggest kicker, "Cablevision pays nothing for it" the customers pay for ABC and other a la carte channels on part of their "Basic Broadcast Tier." So essentially this means, WE the customers are paying to see ABC7, when generally it's available for free over the air.
ABC7 wants customers to send a letter to Cablevision and demand that if they "lose my shows, lose my business." Already they have provided several alternative methods of watching ABC7. This includes over the air for free, Direct TV, and finally VERIZON FIOS! (Oh no they didn't!)
ABC places the blame game on Cablevision, inferring that Cablevision would not pay a reasonable value to keep ABC on the air. ABC will propose to be on YOUR side, or so we think…
It made me think, if ABC is broadcasting for free, why would they ask TV providers to pay them money anyway. Oh well.
You know, when I watch and hear both sides of the story, I never really figure out what's truly going on. I feel torn in half thinking;
"Hmm, I don't want my cable bill to go up, So ABC is Greedy! They are the ones who are charging more!"
"But, Cablevision is greedy, they don't pay anything for ABC. Why should I lose a channel I pay for!"
These two statements will be the main factor of why there will be numerous blog comments, facebook groups, twitters, everybody and their mother will take a side. "ABC IS GREEDY! NO CABLEVISION IS GREEDY!"
Even if we do lose the channel for whatever amount of days, it will still result in the same conclusion:
- Your cable bill go up anyway.
- Cablevision reaches an agreement with ABC? (Maybe)
- You will still pay the Broadcasting Fee.
- Switching to another Digital TV provider, you will still pay fees.
- ABC will still request for increase in fees every so often.
Pretty much no matter what the outcome is, we still lose. I mean think about it! When has your cable bill ever went down without taking off any services? Do you think by actually switching to another provider whether its from FIOS to CABLE or vice versa, you won't have to pay such an incredibly large bill? Will these additional fees ever disappear from your bill including the delicious activation fee? I don't know, maybe we should just drop TV all together and things like this will be trivial..
Anyways, it's time for me to watch LOST on the internet for FREE! (GASP!)

text: I was playing with the Germans last night and noticed that some of my units automatically upgraded when a newer tech was researched. For example, I researched feudalism and some horsemen were upgraded to knights and then traded for combustion turning some knights to tanks. Is this a perk that just the Germans get or what??

For more on college basketball recruiting, follow Pete DiPrimio via Twitter at pdiprimio. |
» More |
Trevon Bluiett isn't about to rush. Not this. A big-time college basketball program is in his future and he wants to make sure it's the right fit.
Of course, it's hard to go wrong when coaches from Purdue, Indiana, Notre Dame, Butler, Michigan, Louisville, Florida and more are offering you scholarships.
This 6-5, 185 pounder from Indianapolis Park Tudor and the Spiece travel ball program has become a hot choice, and not just because he's rated as the Class of 2014's 49th best prospect by Rivals.com, and a top-75 choice by Scout.com. Both are national Internet recruiting services.
Bluiett is also the state's highest ranked uncommitted player in the Class of 2014. In case you haven't noticed, Indiana prep talent is traditionally pretty good.
Bluiett can score at a big-time rate. He's shown that during his Park Tudo High School career that includes a pair of state championships (teammate Yogi Ferrell, now an Indiana freshman, had a lot to do with those titles, as well). He's shown that while playing for Spiece.
In last week's Adidas Invitational in Indianapolis, he had 32 points in one game, 31 in another, and was a standout scorer every time he hit the court.
Those performances keep drawing coaches coming.
On the opening night of the Adidas Invitational, Purdue coach Matt Painter, Notre Dame coach Mike Brey and assistant coaches from Illinois, Michigan and Kansas State watched Bluiett play.
Expect similar attention this week as Bluiett's Spiece Indy Heat team plays in the powerhouse Peach Jam in North Augusta, S.C.
"It always means a lot to see those coaches are at your games," Bluiett says, "because there are a lot of games and players they could be watching."
The new NCAA rule that allows unlimited phone calls and texts between coaches and recruits (after their high school sophomore years) has driven up the contact, although the Bluiett family had to limit calls to just a couple of times a week.
Bluiett says he plans to start cutting down his recruiting list in August, once the July evaluation period is over.
"I listen to what the coaches have to say, but I just keep it in my head," he says. "I'm just taking it in. Even if it's something I don't like, I don't eliminate it."
Offers have ratcheted up since the spring. Indiana was first, which isn't surprising given coach Tom Crean's knack for offering the young and talented. And Bluiett isn't that young (he will be a high school junior this coming season) given Crean has offered four players before they've reached high school.
The latest are Indianapolis' Eron Gordon and Colorado's DeRon Davis. Gordon is the younger brother of former IU American (and current NBA guard) Eric Gordon. The 6-8 Davis is projected as a possible 7-footer by the time he reaches college.
Bluiett made an unofficial visit to IU in June. He's also visited Michigan, Purdue, Louisville, Kentucky and Xavier. He visited Notre Dame last fall during the USC football game. He hopes to visit Illinois and Kansas State next month. Then, he'll get with his family and cut down the number of college possibilities. The earliest he can sign is November of 2013.
Yes, the chance to play for Indiana with Bishop Luers guard James Blackmon and Indianapolis Tech forward Trey Lyles is intriguing. Both are Spiece Indy Heat teammates and both have already committed to the Hoosiers.
Still, Bluiett bides his time. He's recruiting coaches as much as they're recruiting him.
"I look for the relationship with the coach and the relationship he has with his players," he says. "And academics always plays a huge part in it."
Given the strong academic reputation of Park Tudor, that last part isn't surprising.
Bluiett has been on an offensive surge since last November. He led Park Tudor in scoring (18.7 points) and rebounding (8.9) while shooting 69.9 percent from the field, 46.8 percent from three-point range and 70.8 percent on free throws.
For the record, Ferrell averaged 17.8 points.
In last March's 79-57 Class 2A state title game win over Bowman Academy, Bluiett had 25 points, eight rebounds and two blocks in 24 minutes. That was almost as impressive as Ferrell's 17 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds.
Bluiett also has emerged as Spiece Indy Heat's leading scorer (16.5 points) despite the presence of Lyles, a top-10 Class of 2014 prospect; Evansville Bosse guard Jaquan Lyle, the No. 19 player who also is being heavily recruited by Indiana; and Northrop guard Bryson Scott, the No. 60 player who is committed to Purdue.
"It's been going well," Bluiett says. "I had a good spring coming off the momentum from the state win. I carried over that same mentality. I've been blessed everything has been going my way so far."
When you're hot, you see, there's no reason to rush.

A massive tornado swept through the Oklahoma City area Monday afternoon, leaving ruin in its path.
Moore Medical Center, which stood directly in the tornado's path, was devastated. But the workers, patients and their families in the hospital escaped.
Nick Stremble, a registered nurse and manager at the hospital, told Shots Tuesday what he saw.
Originally published on Tue May 21, 2013 4:07 pm
Even as President Obama was declaring that tornado-devastated Oklahoma would get "everything it needs right away," the state's most vociferous critic of federal emergency aid vowed that he, too, would push for assistance "without delay."
An Oklahoma City energy giant, a veterans group, and a superstar athlete have each announced three separate $1 million gifts to aid storm relief efforts following Monday's tornado that killed dozens in Moore.
Chesapeake Energy Corp. announced this morning it will donate $1 million to the American Red Cross to help in the rescue and recovery efforts in Moore.
The oil and gas company says it's also organizing hundreds of employee volunteers to help in the relief effort.
Oklahoma City residents are being asked to help conserve water while power remains out at one of the city's main water treatment facilities.
City officials say rain and lightning during Monday night's storm delayed progress to restore power at the Draper Water Treatment Plant.
City spokeswoman Debbie Ragan says low water pressure is being reported in downtown Oklahoma City, the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and the state Capitol complex.
Ragan says city officials hope to have power restored by Tuesday afternoon.
U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) says that any additional federal aid to help tornado victims and to rebuild devastated areas of his state should be financed with cuts to other programs in the government's $3.6 trillion budget.
Spokesman John Hart says it's a position Coburn has consistently held regarding federal spending on disasters dating to the 1995 bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City.
This interactive map from Google highlights the storm track, as well as locations for American Red Cross shelters throughout Central Oklahoma.
Relief organization Save the Children says it's sending help to families affected by Monday's deadly tornado in Moore.

Residents of Moore, Okla., are searching for survivors and coming to terms with a massive tornado that left dozens of people dead and injured more than 200 others Monday afternoon. As aid and recovery groups search for victims and try to reunite loved ones, they're also seeking donations and coordinating housing:
StateImpact Oklahoma's Joe Wertz took cover in Moore on his drive home from KGOU Monday afternoon. Once the tornado passed, he immediately went to work reporting for Oklahoma's public radio stations and NPR.

(We're following the news from Oklahoma, where a tornado devastated the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore on Monday. Most recent update: 8:40 p.m. ET.)
A day after a monster EF-5 tornado pummeled Moore, Okla., the focus turned to the victims.
NPR's Wade Goodwyn spent the day in the city talking to survivors. Christie Parrish decided to leave her home for her sister's shelter.
The state medical examiner's office has revised the death toll from a tornado in an Oklahoma City suburb to 24 people, including seven children.
Spokeswoman Amy Elliot said Tuesday morning that she believes some victims were counted twice in the early chaos of the storm.
Authorities said initially that as many as 51 people were dead, including 20 children.
Teams are continuing to search the rubble in Moore, 10 miles south of Oklahoma City, after the Monday afternoon tornado.

Things I liked:You can get a lot of shots in with this. About one shot ever second, for 14 seconds, until you grab another shell. The shells are conventionally placed. Things I would have changed:Nothing really. It's very sturdy so there's no point in making it metal. The fps is fine, but could always be stronger. Considering it's a shotgun, the accuracy is fine. What others should know:For only 20 bucks, this is definitely worth it. I'm a beginner, so take my review with a grain of salt. Things I liked:Has a cool feel and unique look/operation. Ejectable cartridges always make a gun more interesting. Things I would have changed:Gun is fairly weak, magazine door is substandard with regard to quality, and the joint between the extendable stock and handle is subject to fracture if used for extended play. What others should know:Good first gun, but not apt to last much longer than the season. Things I liked:The adjustable stock improves handling and having 4 shells allows for quick reloading. Things I would have changed:I don't like how the beebees in the shells empty into the gun when a shell is loaded. It makes it challenging to know that your gun is unloaded. Frequently, after ejecting the shell, I still have beebees left in the gun. This is much more dangerous and has resulted in accidental, close-range shooting of my friends. What others should know:Definately need to use heavier beebees. Show Other ReviewsCreate an online review and share your thoughts with other customers

WITH YOUR BUSY LIFE, finding time to hit the gym can feel like a minor victory. But when it comes to lifting, you might be 4 reps away from ruin. "Many popular moves are also the most dangerous," says Nick Tumminello, director of Performance University in Fort Lauderdale. "Others are just ineffective." Odds are that your workouts are riddled with both. Here are four moves to purge now and four replacements to put you back on track. (Prevent injuries for life—and treat the ones you have once and for all—with these at-home secrets from the country's top sports medicine docs!)
1. Close-Grip Barbell Upright Row
"Using a narrow grip as you row can create an impingement stress, raising the odds of rotator cuff muscles and tendons becoming trapped in the shoulder joint," says Tumminello. This condition, known as weightlifter's shoulder, is an express ticket to the disabled list.
SAFE: Wide-Grip Upright Row
Grab a barbell (or a pair of dumbbells) and hold it in front of your thighs using a shoulder-width, overhand grip. Keeping your forearms pointed down, bend your elbows and pull the weight to your chest, raising your upper arms until they're parallel to the floor. Then slowly lower the weight back down.
2. Bench Dip
It might seem like an easy swap for a bar dip (especially if you're not strong enough to bang out a full set of the latter), but positioning your arms behind you creates an extreme extension in the shoulders, says Tumminello. Adding weight just compounds the danger.
SAFE: Close-hands Pushup
Assume a standard pushup position (your body should form a straight line from your ankles to your head). Brace your abs, squeeze your glutes, and keep your elbows tucked in against your sides as you lower yourself until your chest is about an inch from the floor. Pause at the bottom, and then push yourself back up.
3. Seated Rotation Machine
Think about twisting a water bottle; if you rotate only the top, the middle buckles and weakens. The same goes for your body. "Your hips and shoulders are designed to rotate as a unit," says Tumminello. "If you rotate just one and not the other, your spine can pay the price."
SAFE: Cable Chop
Attach a rope to a high-pulley cable, grab it with both hands, and stand with your left side toward the machine and your feet shoulder-width apart. Without bending your elbows, pull the rope diagonally across your torso toward your right foot. Return to the starting position. Do an equal number of reps on both sides.
4. Seated Chest Press Machine
Your body isn't perfectly symmetrical, so any machine that forces both halves along identical trajectories is setting the stage for injury. Sure, you can lift more by bracing against the backrest. But an exercise that allows your arms to move independently is better.
SAFE: Dumbbell Bench Press
Lie on a bench holding a pair of dumbbells straight above your chest so that they're nearly touching; your palms should face forward. Without changing the angle of your hands, lower the dumbbells to the sides of your chest. Pause, and then press them back up to the starting position as quickly as you can.
Think you're tough? We dare you to try these 15-minute muscle shredders!

Buildings are still in great shape and are quite beautiful, but Jesus, how can they get away with charging Y120. No thanks
The three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple are within a very large compound, which has numerous other buildings and exhibits worth visiting.
A (very) long avenue with many temples along the way. Actually, it reminded me very much of the Forbidden City in Beijing, though here there is obviously no "imperial" touch. The place is very well-kept, clean and handsome. As you proceed uphill, you get some view over Erhai lake in the distance, which is a nice bonus. Tips: - it's... More
This place is a must see while in Dali. Was not expecting much when this was on our list ( not another Pagoda ) but it just blew me away the size of the grounds are enormous and there is much to see and do while there. As they say in China JUST DO IT.
Take the green (colour not environmental) 'taxis' to the top of the complex and then walk you way slowly down through the temples to the 3 Pagodas and the reflection pools.
Monuments to me are less intersting than the people around them but enjoyed seeing both of them at th 3 pagodas. Visitors well handled.
Icon of Dali. Do keep walking to the end of the temple and climb up the last pagoda. Tour groups do not go that far in. A quiet place where you can have a bird eye view of Dali old ton and Erhai.
Three pagodas is just the start of this beautiful compound. The pagodas are extremely old, the main one picking up the light as the sun changes direction on it. Past the pagodas are many temples, built up the hill. Rebuilt after the Cultural Revolution, the are replicas of the originals. Bright red pillars and multicoloured eaves, all set in beautiful... More
I liked the historical and cultural significance, liked the freedom to wander and always see something worthwhile, disliked the constant hassling to buy something, and the total disregard for keeping the surrounding areas, the beautiful lake, and the waterways free from daily garbage disposal. Shame.
First of all, I'm always amused by reviews saying how a place is too expensive and crowded. Hello, basic economics. It's important to understand that other than the 3 pagodas that survived more than a thousand years of wear and tear and earthquakes, the rest of the building are reconstruction of the old temple, also built during the Tang dynasty...

I'm only into my second game with Civ V, so you can start flaming me all you want. My previous experience was with Civ III (which despite it's flaws, pulled me in) and Civ IV (which I adored as well).
I can say that many of the new changes in Civ V fascinate me and I'm having a great time re-learning the game again. One decision I'm having a really tough time with is if I should start a new game to try a strategy I just whipped up, or keep playing and try to turn around the losing game I've got going.
But one aspect has me quite angry. Civ V did not satisfy my girlfriend.
She asked me to show her the game that had kept me at my laptop for hours at end. I happily obliged and started up a new game for her. I played along with her and told her that for starters she should just try to do whatever the advisors told her to. At first I thought she might be enjoying it. She got a kick out of watching her warriors attack a barbarian camp. She got upset at Bismark for threatening her. She was excited when Hiawatha asked her for a pact of cooperation.
But then, after an hour, she started to get bored. I tried to emphasize how cool it was that the game used hexes, but she was disinterested. I asked her to consider the innovation of City States, but she could care less. Ultimately she only wanted to turn it off and watch a DVD with me.
Clearly there's something wrong with the game I love everything they did with it, but if it can't get my girlfriend interested, then they are missing something. I demand a patch immediately! Maybe they can include some Twilight Civ Rulers or a shoe shopping mini-game. Whatever it is, I will be disappointed until something is done.

Heartburn, Upper GI Distress Management without Medications
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are a category of prescriptive and over-the-counter medications that go by names such as Nexium, Pepcid, Prevacid, Prilosec, Protonix and Zegerid. These are some of the most profitable medications made as they are used by millions of people in developed countries, including and especially the U.S. For an article I wrote for HairLoss.com, I interviewed a handful of doctors, therapists, nutritionists, holistic health practitioners and others who offer their advice on managing gastronintestinal conditions that include acid reflux disease (gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD), Crohn's disease and related conditions. They offer solid advice that largely addresses the cause of these conditions – unlike medications that more typically manage symptoms, not the root problems of stress and poor diet. As a writer, I also felt close to these conditions because I suffered severe heartburn for years when I was younger – and which I have successfully addressed holistically since.

Haitis Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe is pushing back at suggestions that his nation is unsafe.
We would like to reassure the tourists, the diaspora, people who want to visit....Haiti is one of the safest destinations that they could visit, Lamothe said Monday at a press conference in Port-au-Prince, quoting U.N. crime statistics.
The latest figures from U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime show that in 2010 Haiti had a recorded murder rate of 6.9 for every 100,000 persons. The rate is close to one-quarter that of Jamaica and less than half of the neighboring Dominican Republic. Still, U.N. officials note that statistics are always subject to under-reporting and under-recording.
Lamothes declaration comes after the United States issued a strongly-worded travel warning and Canada modified its advisory. Last week, Canada further irked Haitian officials after new International Co-operation Minister Julian Fantino was quoted in a Montreal newspaper as saying that future aid had been put on ice because Ottawa wasnt satisfied with the pace of progress.
We are not getting the results that Canadians have a right to expect, said Fantino, who visited Haiti in November where he met with President Michel Martelly.
Lamothe did not address Fantinos comments, but Haitian officials have said that all Canadian aid goes to non-governmental organizations, not the Haitian government. The warnings come as the country prepares to mark the third anniversary of the Jan. 12, 2010 earthquake.
A spokesperson for the Canadian International Development Agency, which Fantino heads, said previously committed projects remain unchanged. Still, Canada continues to be concerned with the slow progress of development in Haiti due to its weak governing institutions and corruption.
Canada is reviewing long-term engagement strategy with Haiti to maximize Canadian taxpayer dollars to improve the results achieved and better address the needs and priorities of the Haitian people, the spokesperson said.
Fantinos statements have raised concerns about whether other donors would also follow suit.
The U.S. government is NOT going to stop aid to Haiti and has no intention to slow down assistance, an official with the U.S. Agency for International Development said in an email. The United States is the largest of Haitis donors.
But just days after Christmas, the U.S. government made its own headlines when it warned against travel to Haiti.
A U.S. State Department official told The Miami Herald that protecting U.S. citizens overseas is one of the U.S. governments highest priorities and that travel warnings do not reflect the nature of our bilateral relations with a country.
The travel advisory warned that travelers arriving from the U.S. were attacked and robbed shortly after departing the airport, and at least two U.S. citizens were shot and killed in robbery and kidnapping incidents in 2012.
U.S. citizens have been victims of violent crime, including murder and kidnapping, predominantly in the Port-au-Prince area. No one is safe from kidnapping, regardless of occupation, nationality, race, gender, or age.
On Jan. 2, Canada updated its Haiti travel advisory, saying Canadians should exercise a high degree of caution due to high crime rates, especially in certain slum neighborhoods of Port-au-Prince. However, a spokeswoman for Canadas Foreign Affairs and International Trade Office said that Canada has not revised its travel report to any significant degree.

Meeting the Challenge of Developing the 'More Electric' Aircraft
Technology Overview
Presenter: Walden RhinesAs electronic content increases dramatically in aerospace design, aircraft are evolving into sophisticated networked computing platforms. Unfortunately, there has not been a corresponding evolution in electronic design tools and methodologies, even as the industry moves towards a 'more electric' aircraft. To bridge this design gap, model-driven development is emerging as the best way to manage this complex process. Dr. Rhines will provide examples and an assessment of where aviation leaders are in the process of implementing model driven design to meet ever more demanding program requirements and functional specifications. He then will outline what needs to be done, both now and in the future, to eventually realize the goals of the all-electric airplane: including architecting and optimizing designs, and implementing subsystems across organizational, geographic, and supply-chain boundaries.

By consent, Mr. Furnas' bill [H. R. 346] to provide for a Superintendent and Board of Managers for this State at the World's Fair, to be held in the city of New York in 1883, being read the third time--
Mr. FURNAS said this is a bill to provide for Indiana's representation at the World's Fair. We have great mineral, agricultural and horticultural wealth, but we can not exhibit it, of course, without some expense. The object of this bill is to make our resources fully known to the world and induce a better class of immigration to settle in Indiana. The appropriation asked for is not as extravagant as those of our sister States. Kansas appropriated a great deal more money, also Illinois and Ohio. Indiana being situated right in a central location, with all its railroad facilities and resources yet to be developed, it would be a shame not to be represented at the World's Fair.
The bill failed to pass--yeas, 40; nays, 40--for the want of a constitutional majority.

Clouded Leopard Cubs Born at the Zoo's Research Facility
Precious. Absolutely precious. The two clouded leopard cubs born in the early hours of yesterday morning at the Zoo's research facility in Front Royal, Virginia, are adorable.
But this pair is truly precious, or as Zoo officials tell us, they are "genetically valuable," meaning that they were bred outside of the captive population, and bring new genetic material to the zoo population. These increasingly rare creatures—only as many as 10,000 are estimated to remain in the wilds of Southeast Asia—are notoriously difficult to breed.
"Nothing is as hard [to breed] as the clouded leopard," says the Zoo's reproductive physiologist JoGayle Howard, because wild-born males usually attack an unfamiliar female, killing her instead of mating with her.
Hmmm. Tough love? Turns out, Howard discovered, the two just needed to get to know each other better. The two and a half year old father "Hannibal" was introduced at six months to the mother "Jao Chu." Apparently, that did the trick because the pair likely mated about two months ago. Read our 2007 story on the Zoo's efforts to overcome these and other breeding problems and stay tuned for our feature story on cloudeds coming later today.
More photos of the leopards are available on the Zoo's Flickr page.

A masterful Arena, exploring cool jazz – but rather than taking the normal route of talking heads, here the music tells the story, with occasional narration, on-screen quotes from the musicians, clips from all sorts of places, even a brief Allen Ginsberg reading. There's also wonderful original incidental music by George Taylor. Worth watching, even if you think you don't like jazz.

This post is part of the Festa di Salumi from Punk Domestics. It is the last of three projects from Salumi by Michael Ruhlman and Brian Polcyn.
A unifying theme of all salami-making guides is, "you need to be meticulous, you need to pay attention." Well, that's just not me. I have zero interest in building a drying chamber from an old wine fridge. I finally broke down and bought a rack for my milk crate basket after I had done a million bike rides carrying groceries in my backpack. I won't get the gear until I've earned it.
Making salami was similar to making any sausages– I flavored the meat with spices (fennel seed, black pepper, etc.), ground it up, and stuffed it into casings. Except this time sodium nitrite and nitrate were added along with a bacterial culture. I didn't feel like ordering a bacterial culture, so I took an idea from Peter from Cookblog and added a few tablespoons of brine from my lactofermented sauerkraut.
Then I hung my sausages to dry. From the ceiling fan, no less. I scoffed at the special mold culture you can spray on your aging sausages and felt quite smug when powdery white mold appeared– "baller" mold if you will. "People pay for this mold!" I thought, "but I'm such a great salumier already that it's just appearing out of thin air!" Then I ignored my salamis for a few days.
The next time I looked at them, the dreaded blue mold had appeared. I had to give my salamis a good scrubbing with white vinegar, but it was a little late. The mold had penetrated two of them. It wasn't deadly (this time), but I highly recommend against eating messed-up salami. It tasted most unpleasant. Still, two of the salamis turned out quite good.
So things didn't go exactly as planned. Here are some pro tips I didn't read in any of the books:
- Hang your salamis so there is plenty of air circulation around them. Don't let the salamis touch each other even if it makes hanging more convenient. The evaporating moisture seems to encourage blue mold growth.
- Yes, your salami is safe to eat after it's lost 30% of its starting weight, but the texture improves after its lost 40%. My salami still had an unappealingly soft texture at 30%.
- Freeze all the meat grinder parts and stainless steel bowl for containing the meat. You can also place the meat itself in the freezer for about 30 minutes. It's always important to keep everything cold during sausage making, but it's doubly important for salami. It's the only way to achieve those lovely chunks of white fat that dot a good salami.
Now I have great respect for legit salami-makers. I'll need to step up my detail-oriented game for homemade salami to be worthwhile.

Producers appointed for Fifty Shades Movie
I am delighted to share this press release with you and thrilled that Mike and Dana are on board.
LOS ANGELES, CA, July 10, 2012—Universal Pictures and Focus Features today announced that veteran producers Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti will produce Fifty Shades of Grey. De Luca and Brunetti will produce the film based on E L James' #1 Bestselling book alongside James. The announcement was made by Universal Pictures Co-Chairman, Donna Langley and Focus Features' Chief Executive Officer, James Schamus.
In March, Universal Pictures and Focus Features announced the acquisition of rights to the entire Fifty ShadesTrilogy with Focus Features marketing and distributing the first film in partnership with Universal. To date, Vintage Books has sold 31 million e-book and print copies of the trilogy in English-language markets worldwide. In the U.S. alone, the "Fifty Shades" trilogy has sold over 20 million copies in e-book and print making it one of the fastest selling book series ever.
"At its core, Fifty Shades of Grey is a complex love story, requiring a delicate and sophisticated hand to bring it to the big screen," said Langley. "Mike and Dana's credits more than exemplify what we need in creative partners and we're glad to have them as part of our team."
"Michael De Luca is a dream producer, whose combination of vision, taste and fearlessness is the perfect match forFifty Shades of Grey," said Schamus.
As an award-winning producer, De Luca has made his mark on some of the most critically-acclaimed films of the last few years including 2011's Best Picture nominee Moneyball starring Brad Pitt as Oakland A's former general manager, Billy Beane. Brunetti and De Luca served together as producers with Scott Rudin and Cean Chaffin on The Social Network which earned critical accolades, including an Academy Award® nomination for Best Picture. Brunetti and De Luca are collaborating with Scott Rudin on the upcoming Tom Hanks' film Captain Phillips, the true story of a cargo ship captain held hostage by Somali pirates and rescued by Navy SEALs. Other film credits for De Luca include I Am Sam, Blow, Magnolia, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, Wag the Dog, American History X and Boogie Nights. Additional film credits for Brunetti include Casino Jack, 21, Fanboys, Beyond The Sea and Safe.
"I am thrilled that Mike has joined Team Fifty," said E L James. "He brings a passion for and in-depth understanding of the characters and story, and a wealth of experience in making quality films."
"Dana and I are both grateful and honored to be invited to join this team," said De Luca. "We deeply respect and admire the kinds of films Donna, James and Jeb have been responsible for and are very excited to be joining Erika in a collaboration to bring her vision of this once in a lifetime, provocative and resonant love story to the screen."
"Fifty Shades of Grey" follows the relationship of 27-year-old billionaire Christian Grey and college student Anastasia Steele. Subsequent novels in the series, "Fifty Shades Darker" (September 2011) and "Fifty Shades Freed" (January 2012) explore the couple's deepening relationship.

Secret Nature Names: Looking to the sky
Secret nature names are an intriguing category: baby names that reference animals or weather or some other aspect of nature in their meaning without being explicit about it the way names such as Lily and Fox are.
If you're a nature lover but value subtlety in your name choices, these kinds of secret nature names may be perfect for you. We've explored secret garden names in the past, but today we turn our attention to nature names from the sky: names that mean butterfly and bird, that relate to rain and clouds and the sky itself.
Here, a wide range of secret nature names from many cultures:
Alizeh – This Persian name meaning "wind" was used by actress Geena Davis for her daughter.
Amaya – Amaia is a Basque name but its homonym Amaya is a Japanese name that means "night rain".
Branwen — A Welsh name that might be thought of as Bronwen's lesser-known cousin, Branwen means "blessed raven."
