In a development that could have huge implications for quadriplegics, paraplegics and those with prosthetic limbs, researchers from Duke University and the Ecole Polytechnic Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) have developed technology that has allowed monkeys to control a virtual arm and touch and feel virtual objects using only their brain activity. The researchers say it is the first-ever demonstration of a two-way interaction between a primate brain and a virtual body and could lead to robotic exoskeletons that not only that allows paralyzed patients to walk again, but to also feel the ground beneath them.

In June of last year we reported on the success by researchers at Duke University in developing a technique capable of producing copper nanowires at a scale that could make them a potential replacement for rare and expensive indium tin oxide (ITO) in touch screens and solar panels. However, the water-based production process resulted in the copper nanowires clumping, which reduced their transparency and prevented the copper from oxidizing, which decreases their conductivity. The researchers have now solved the clumping problem and say that copper nanowires could be appearing in cheaper touch screens, solar cells and flexible electronics in the next few years. Read More
North Carolina's Duke University has been grabbing some headlines over the past few years, due to research carried out there involving the use of metamaterials for creating functioning invisibility cloaks. Just this month, Duke researchers announced that they had developed another such material that could be used to manipulate the frequency and direction of light at will, for use in optical switching. Now, Duke's Prof. Yaroslav Urzhumov has proposed that metamaterials could also be used to drastically reduce the drag on ships' hulls, "by tricking the surrounding water into staying still."

Duke University is on a roll, showing off yet another potentially game-changing property of the exotic man-made substances known as metamaterials. This time the property could have deep consequences for the transmission of information via light. Maybe the most important potential use of all. Read More
Although the number of Wi-Fi hotspots has increased dramatically in most places over the past few years, the explosion in the number of smartphones and laptops attempting to make use of such connections means that getting decent download speeds is as difficult as it always was. Not only is this frustrating, it can also be a major drain on the batteries of mobile devices. In an effort to address one of these problems, a Duke University graduate student has developed software called SleepWell that allows mobile devices to take a nap to save power while they wait for their turn to download.

Automatic photo tagging with TagSense smartphone app
The old adage says "a picture is worth a thousand words," but just exactly which words is the question. While facial recognition and GPS-enabled cameras have made tagging digital snapshots with names and locations much easier, a team of students from Duke University and the University of South Carolina has developed a smartphone app called TagSense that takes advantage of the range of multiple sensors on a mobile phone to automatically apply a greater variety of tags to photos.

The weird properties of artificially engineered metamaterials are at the core of research into invisibility cloaking, but engineers from Duke University in North Carolina suggest that these materials could also provide a boost to another of technology's quests - wireless power transmission. In this latest hard-to-get-your-head-around metamaterial scenario, it's not the cloaked object that "disappears" - it's the space between the charger and the chargee. Read More
Color-changing plants detect pollutants and explosives
There may come a day when certain plants in your workplace suddenly turn white, at which point everyone will run screaming from the building – those co-workers will have been right to do so, as the white plants indicated that a toxic gas was present. Before that scenario can take place, a little more work still needs to be done, and Colorado State University (CSU) biologist Dr. June Medford is doing it. Using a computer-designed detection trait, she is creating plants that stop producing chlorophyll when they detect pollutants or explosives in the air. Read More
A robot guided by 3-D ultrasound and artificial intelligence has demonstrated it can locate lesions in simulated breast and prostate tissue and take biopsies without human assistance. A team of bioengineers at Duke University, North Carolina, 'souped up' an existing robot arm with a purpose-built ultrasound system which acts as the robot's 'eyes' by collecting data from its scan and locating its target. An artificial intelligence program processes the real-time 3D information from the ultrasound and gives the robot specific commands to perform using a mechanical 'hand' that can manipulate the same biopsy plunger device used by doctors.

The latest flat-panel TVs and computer screens produce images by an array of electronic pixels connected by a transparent conductive layer made from indium tin oxide (ITO). ITO is also used as a transparent electrode in thin-film solar cells. But ITO has drawbacks: it is brittle; its production process is inefficient; and it is expensive and becoming more so because of increasing demand. One potential alternative is to use tiny copper nanowires and researchers have now perfected a simple way to make these in quantity. The cheap conductors are small enough to be transparent, making them ideal for thin-film solar cells, flat-screen TVs and computers, and flexible displays. Read More

Noh, playing with a mission, leading Zurich Classic
|Seung-yul Noh, of South Korea, lines up a putt on the 18th green during the third round of the PGA Zurich Classic golf tournament at TPC Louisiana in Avondale, La., Saturday, April 26, 2014. (AP Photo/Jonathan Bachman)
associated press
AVONDALE, La. — If Sueng-Yul Noh can hold on to the lead in the Zurich Classic, he'll do it front of fans who can appreciate how much bigger Noh's mission is than simply winning his first PGA Tour event.
Wearing yellow and black ribbons on his hat to honor victims of the April 16 South Korean ferry accident, Noh used a string of birdies late in his round Saturday to surge two strokes ahead of Keegan Bradley atop the leaderboard.
It is Noh's first career lead through three rounds on the tour, and comes in a city where sports became an uplifting force after Hurricane Katrina.
Noh finds himself representing — and captivating — a nation mourning the more than 300 dead or missing — many of them students — from the sinking of a ferry in the waters off his home country.
"Hopefully, I'll make all the Korean people happy," Noh said. "It was very sad news for the Korean ship, so hopefully another bogey-free round tomorrow, and hopefully good news for the Koreans."
Noh is the first player to complete 54 holes at the TPC Louisiana without a bogey. He shot a 7-under 65 to reach 18-under 198. No player has completed all four rounds on the course at better than 20 under, the score Billy Horschel posted last year, when he became the sixth player in the last nine years to secure his maiden PGA Tour triumph in New Orleans.
Noh will try to continue the trend when he tees off in the same group as Bradley, who is no stranger to winning. His three career tour victories include a major in the 2011 PGA Championship.
Bradley said he doubted that he would intimidate Noh, but added, "It is definitely hard getting your first win."
Bradley began the day tied for seventh at 9 under. He pulled into a tie with Noh for first on No. 15 with his seventh birdie of the day.
Then, Noh, who was tied for third at 11 under after two rounds, made birdie putts of 13 feet on 14 and 10 feet on 15 before hitting a 112-yard approach shot to a foot for another birdie on 16, bringing him to 18 under.
Bradley also shot 65.
, making eight birdies. He also made one bogey on the par-3 ninth hole, when his ball landed left of the green, rolled down a bulkhead lined with cypress planks and into a water hazard from which alligators have been making routine appearances this week. It didn't faze him, though.
"I'm most proud this week of where I've been mentally on the golf course and how calm I've felt," Bradley said. "I love being in this position, a couple back going into Sunday. I'd like to be a couple in the lead, too, but I love chasing."
Robert Streb was third, three shots back after a 68. Paul Casey's 64 was the day's best round. He moved up to a tie for seventh with Charley Hoffman at 13 under.
Ben Martin, who had a three-shot lead after two rounds, shot a 73 to drop into a tie for fourth with Jeff Overton and Andrew Svoboda at 14 under. Overton shot 67, and Svoboda 70.
Noh is in his third year on the tour, but finished outside the top 125 on the money list last season, forcing him to play in Web.com Tour Finals events to retain his tour card.
"Very disappointed in the whole season last year," Noh said. "I learned from that time. ... So I'm very ready for tomorrow."
He had never before been higher on the leaderboard than tied for second through three rounds. That happened once at the 2012 AT&T National, but he shot a 2-over 73 in his final round to finish tied for fourth, his best finish in 77 previous PGA Tour starts.
Martin had raced to the lead with a course-record 10-under 62 in his first round, and his 36-hole score of 129 also was a course record. Teeing off with the final group, his trouble began on the par-5 second hole. He pushed his second shot to the right toward the crowd. As Martin's father, Jim, yelled, "Fore!" LSU student Cameron Slane turned his body defensively and felt the ball carom off the back of his head and shoulder.
The ball kicked to the right and into a cluster of long pompass grass. Martin took a drop and wound up with a bogey.
"Thursday's round and today are kind of a 180-degree difference," Martin said. "After Thursday, I wasn't on Cloud 9 and after today I'm not in the dumps. So I've still have a good mindset going into tomorrow."

Not everyone knows Aaron Sorkin's name, but they've almost certainly heard his trademark rich and frenetic dialogue. The creator and writer of The West Wing, Sports Night, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and The Newsroom is busy wrapping up the final season of the latter, and once that's done, his television career may fade to black.
Season 7, Episode 22
In the series finale, the Bartlet administration prepares to leave the West Wing. While Santos and his winning camp nervously gear up for the inauguration, outgoing President Bartlet, C.J. and the others fondly look back on their time in the White House. Former series star Rob Lowe guest stars as Sam Seaborn.
Season 7, Episode 21
As the Bartlet administration prepares to transition into the Santos administration, C.J. must confront the choices affecting her future. Meanwhile, Will also finds himself in a position of uncertainty about what is to come.
Season 7, Episode 20
While Santos is wrapped up in choosing his new Vice President, Helen (recurring guest star Teri Polo) is overwhelmed by the issues facing the new First Family. Meanwhile, Vinick also deals with a new life now that the election is over.
Season 7, Episode 19
A controversy occurs when the President-Elect places a telephone call to the president of China and espouses a different viewpoint from that of Bartlet. Meanwhile, Josh chooses his deputy chief of staff. Recurring guest stars include Rob Lowe as Sam Seaborn, Lily Tomlin as Deborah Fiderer, Teri Polo as Helen Santos, Janeane Garofalo as Louise Thornton and Anna Deavere Smith as Nancy McNally.

At times, the modern political climate may seem stranger than fiction, so it may be comforting (or disconcerting) to know that several recent political events initially took place years prior, on NBC's beloved series The West Wing, which aired from 1999 to 2006.

With network TV season finales firmly in the rearview mirror and summer shows not yet back in full rotation, many regular TV viewers are likely facing the same dilemma: What to watch? Sure, it's great to finally have more than 5 percent storage space left on our DVRs, but it's difficult to suddenly go from carefully planning Sunday night series' schedules to watching — gasp! — repeats. But as that old, awful NBC marketing campaign goes "If you haven't seen it, it's new to you." So, which series should you dive into during this down time?

I had an allergic reaction and checking the other reviews it seems at least 2 other people have had the same issue! (Hands sting and itch).
Oh and the smell lingers around. I find that weird baby powder and lemon chemicals smell intensive and repulsive. I cringe when a certain old person I know cracks open the lid of their tube. I gave them a tube of Norwegian formula for Christmas which is unscented and thank goodness they prefer it that so I no longer have to suffer ;)

I really like this hand cream. I always use it after washing my hands to get rid of the dry feeling and it works perfectly! Its not greasy at all and completely moisturizes them. My hands are as soft as a babys butt :) The scent is ok, it fades after bout 10 min but i dont mind it at all. Ill continue to buy, cuz i think crusty hands are one of the sickest things ever!!

I have used this hand lotion for years. The smell has not changed, all you peeps who moan about the scent must be super sensitive to smells! I don't find the scent offensive at all and the fresh smelling scent there is when it's first applied, goes away after a mere 2 minutes. I am never without a tube of this lotion, it's not greasy at all yet softens and moisturizes amazingly. My favorite lotion, and the price is too cheap to be true, when Avon has sales I stock up for .99 cents a tube.

Silicone Glove is a great lotion for people on the go. As a student, I usually forget to put lotion on in the mornings, but the small size of the portable tubes makes it easy to carry around. I enjoy the scent, although some people may find it too strong. In a way, it smells like sweet powdery flowers. The lotion does help keep skin soft very well which is a quality that I enjoy!

Purchased last Christmas in the miniature stocking stuffer sized tubes. Purchased 20 tubes, 10 of the moisture therapy hand cream(original white tube with blue print) and 10 of these hideous smelling things. The salesman at the family-run Avon boutique @ my local mall HEAVILY suggested this one after I told him I was a nurse(read:frequent handwashing/dry hands) stated this was what his nursing clientele preferred. Well, after taking one of the mini tubes to work, myself and a co-worker both started getting bothered by the fragrance. So, I GLADLY tossed it off on another co-worker. Took the other nine tubes back to the store and got me my trusty moisture therapy-BUY IT-much better reviews-I wonder why?????

This is my holy grail of hand creams!! I swear by this stuff. I don't know how I ever made it with other lotions before this came into my life. It's the right consistency, not greasy, blends in quickly and has a light barely noticeable fresh scent. The only con is I feel like it doesn't keep me from reapplying through several hand washes as I would like it too. Usually after the third hand wash I have to reapply, sometimes after the second. Still, it's a God-send. Loves it!!!

This product is kind of like Neutrogena's Norwegian Formula hand cream. A heavy, silicone based hand lotion that only takes a very small amount to do the job. We're talking pea size. This is for very dry skin. My mom would get cracked skin on her finger tips when she washed the dishes and she would use Silicone glove. It helped, but not necessarily healed the problem. She also had to use nu-skin (liquid bandage), which stings like heck. Thankfully, she doesn't have that problem too bad anymore. Anyway, for dry skin, this product is excellent. I also use it on other dry areas and it really helps me to not have flaky skin in the winter.

This leaves my hands nice and soft.
It is thicker than most hand creams and I found myself using more product than I usually do with thinner consistency creams.
And I bought it for only $.99!
My only complaint is the smell...it smells like pollen.

This is not something I would want to use on a daily basis- being so silicone heavy.
But - this hand cream can be really really good if used in the right situations. When I worked as a nurse on a medical-telemetry floor a few years ago, I was washing my hands so much that in the winter they cracked and bled. It was awful. I couldn't put this on my injured hands because it BURNED but once my hands healed a little this was great for preventing that from happening.
It does create a waterproof barrier so if you're washing your hands a ton, this is ideal!

In high school, I had a job in a nursing home kitchen, so my hands would constantly be dry and irritated from being in water and wearing rubber gloves. Finally, my mom bought this for me and suggested I use it. She talked about how she had the same problem and this was the only stuff that helped her. I was hesitant at first, because I can't STAND greasy hand lotions.. they drive me crazy. But once I tried this stuff, I was in love. This really seems to penetrate the skin and help heal it as well as protect it.. without feeling gross and slippery. I found that even after washing my hands with soap my hands still felt soft and protected. This stuff really did save my hands from my job. The scent is the only (very minor!) complaint I have, it's a little too perfume-y for my liking, but it's not too bad at all once you get used to it. This is a staple in my purse and school bag, I use it all the time and will continue to repurchase and have for years :)

So it is a good time to have a look at our two year old SIV. Has it succeeded in doing what it was meant to do and is there any need for early intervention?
It was with great fanfare that the SIV was introduced in November 2012 and the interest has continued. This is a pathway through which investment capital will flow into Australia from high net worth individuals overseas. Provided they meet the fairly straightforward criteria including the transfer of $5 million into a complying investment in Australia, the individual and their family members will be granted 4 year multiple entry provisional visas. To be granted a permanent visa, the main applicant will need to spend at least 160 days in Australia over that 4 year period and keep the investment of $5 million in Australia (though it can be moved around). There is no age barrier or requirement to have a certain English level.
The main applicant does however need to provide evidence that they lawfully own the funds and that the funds have been accumulated through legitimate means. Legitimate means includes a gift (though the source of the gift will need to demonstrated), the sales of assets, dividends from investments, profit from the operation of a business, a loan from a financial institution (against assets worth more than $5 million) or an inheritance or other windfall gain (such as a lotto win). It is this requirement that seems to be causing the greatest problem as sometimes, providing evidence on paper that the funds are legitimate is not easy, particularly in countries where the cash economy is often the norm. This has led to some very long delays in processing applications, particularly through the Australian Immigration office in Hong Kong, though it appears to be getting faster.
After the introduction of the visa, the first SIV application was approved in May 2013 and since then (up until the end of August 2014) there have been a further 385 applications approved. This may not seem like a lot but when you think that this converts into $1.93 billion in complying investment, it is a significant amount of foreign capital coming into Australia.
Most of the approved applications have been nominated by the Victorian government (50%) followed closely by New South Wales (about 38%), and by far the greatest source country is China with 88% of the approved applications coming from people living in mainland China.
Of course there have been the critics of the scheme. In February 2014, Canada ceased its equivalent scheme, though a much lower amount of money was required to get an investment visa for Canada. This is claimed to be in part due to the scheme resulting in surges in property prices and the creation of "zombie" suburbs where most of the apartments lie empty for much of the year as the owners live overseas. It has also been suggested that the property price increases in parts of Sydney in recent months have been the result of Chinese investors buying up property for above market value. Recent media stories on the high prices paid at auction have tended to zero in on people who look like they are foreigners without any real evidence that this is the case. I don't think you will find anyone selling their homes complaining about getting an above market price and as it is assumed that this money is circulated in the Australian economy, there is still an overall gain financially to Australia.
Some changes have been taken over the last 2 years to make the requirements for the SIV less rigid and these have been from both the Federal Government and some of the state governments. For example in August 2013, the Minister for Immigration announced an expansion in the list of complying investments and in August 2014, the NSW state government announced that an applicant was no longer a requirement to put $1.5 million in the Waratah (state government) bonds to get sponsorship from NSW.
In March this year (now some 6 months ago), the Assistant Minister for Immigration and Border Protection announced a review of the SIV program as it was felt that it needed a boost. The review was meant to look at processing issues, the possibility of greater flexibility in investment choices and perhaps the introduction of a permanent visa stream for investors. The outcome of the review has just been announced with some interesting upcoming changes including:
- The creation of a Premium Investor Visa (PIV) which requires an investment of AUD 15 million, nomination by Austrade (Australian Government Trade office), no residence requirement and permanent residency in 12 months (closest thing to buying permanent residency in Australia)
- Greater involvement of Austrade in determining complying investment policy for the SIV
- The ability to swap the main applicant between the provisional and permanent visa stage for all business visas (this is a great improvement as either partner will be able to meet the residency requirement in Australia when it is introduced)
- Range of changes to improve the timing of processing which as indicated above, is already happening
So I guess we need to go back to our initial question – is our 2 year old doing OK and do we need intervention? It seems that although it was a bit low in starting, our SIV is gaining momentum and reaching the milestones that would be expected. There is the recognition from all levels of government that more flexibility should be introduced and I think this intervention is a good thing. While there needs to be some recognition of a cash economy in some countries and therefore more flexibility in documenting the source of funds, I don't think any Australian would want to see this scheme as a front for money laundering. There is a fine balance but local knowledge and perhaps more ability to look at applicants on a case by case basis (which will mean an easing of the policy surrounding documentation of the source of funds) would allow faster processing and more interest in the program.

Thought of the day: You know you're old when you're not addicted to Twitter and the last vampire movie you can remember watching had The Three Stooges in it ...
It's probably too early to link to the gory details that can be found in the Vikings' league-worst 91-27 scoring disadvantage in the third quarter, but, what the heck, have some of this with your morning Starbucks.
One can argue all day about whether it's a lack of halftime coaching adjustments, a lack of execution or a lack of overall talent that can take the coaching and execute well.
Frankly, the numbers are so bad, it's really a combination of all three.
Opponents have scored on 17 of 24 third-quarter possessions (70.1 percent) while the Vikings have scored on just 5 of 21 possessions (23.8).
And, finally, here are the third-quarter drives in the four losses within the division this season:
Vikings: punt, punt, punt, TD, punt, punt, punt, interception, interception, punt, TD, downs. Summary: two scores in 12 drives.
Lions, Bears and Packers (oh my): TD, FG, fumble, TD, FG, TD, TD, FG, FG, TD, TD. Summary: 10 scores in 11 drives.

Today's newly built homes in the U.S. are substantially larger and have more amenities than their predecessors 30 years ago, according to annual data on new-home characteristics released by the U.S. Census Department.
"Between 1975 and 2005, the portion of new homes built with central air-conditioning has risen 43 percent, while the portion of homes built with fewer than two bathrooms has fallen from 41 percent to just 4 percent," said Jerry Howard, chief executive officer of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). "The share of newly built homes with four or more bedrooms has risen steadily from 21 percent 30 years ago to just shy of 40 percent last year."
The statistics and NAHB research show continued expansion of new-home size. The average floor area in a new home in 2005 in the U.S. reached an all-time high of 2,434 square feet - up from an average 2,349 square feet in 2004 and 1,645 square feet in 1975.
Heat Pumps and Furnaces
The data shows evidence of increasing popularity of heat pumps versus conventional warm air furnaces, particularly in the South. Overall, warm air furnaces remain the most popular heating systems in the U.S. - accounting for 67 percent of the new-homes market in 2005, down from 72 percent of the market back in 1975. NAHB said the decline in that market appears entirely due to construction practices in the South, where use of warm air furnaces fell from 82 percent of new homes to 47 percent over the past 30 years. Heat pumps now command over half the market (53 percent).
Lot Sizes
Lot sizes have shrunk over the years. Census data shows lots dropped from a median of about 10,000 square feet in 1990 to 8,500 square feet now.
Central Air-Conditioning
Between 1975 and 2005, the percentage of homes built with air-conditioning went from 46 percent to 89 percent, and 100 percent of newly built homes in the South came with central air-conditioning in 2005.
The proportion of new homes built with at least one fireplace has barely increased in 30 years, from 52 percent to 55 percent.
Outdoor Features
Statistics from as far back as 1992 indicate a trend toward including porches and/or patios in new-home designs and a smaller share of homes built with decks. Between 1992 and 2005, the proportion of newly built homes with patios increased from 37 percent to 46 percent, while the proportion of new homes with porches rose from 42 percent to 53 percent. In the same timeframe, the share of homes built with decks declined from 37 percent to 27 percent.

50 Years Since Ed Ansin Aqcuired WSVN and Turned It Into a 'Monster'
On December 19, 2012 it was 50 years since Ed Ansin and his father Sydney Ansin acquired WSVN, then known as WCKT, from Cox/Knight. Broadcasting and Cable did a story on Ansin's foray into the television business recently and what would become one of the most successful and copied TV stations in the country.
WCKT went on the air July 29, 1956 but in 1962 lost its broadcasting license after owners Cox and Knight publishing were caught influencing then FCC commissioner Richard Mack. The station's owners were forced to sell and Ansin and his father would buy it for $3.4 million and form Sunbeam Television Corporation. They assumed ownership of WCKT on December 19, 1962. Ansin would later rename it to WSVN in 1983 since the CKT call letters stood for Cox Knight Television.
One of the more interesting points in the article is how far ahead of its competitors WSVN still is in terms of revenue. B&C quotes research firm BIA/Kelsey which estimates WSVN had revenues of $95.6 million in 2011 while WPLG was second with $70.8 million. A $25.8 million difference that is probably the size of what WBFS or WSFL each bring in a year.
A lot of people usually have a (very) strong opinion about what WSVN does and how they do it – from the loud graphics, to news content, to what anchors wear on the air – take your pick. But the station obviously is doing something right or it wouldn't have the success and for so long. People are watching. In fact WSVN does so well some advertising execs and competitors sometimes refer to it as 'the Gorilla' or 'the Monster' because of its broad influence and ability to capture and hold on to the desirable 25-54 viewers and with it close to a third of the TV advertising dollars in the market.
Nice headline! So was it Ed Ansin that turned into a monster or WSVN?
I need sleep
that was supposed to be the URL slug
Headline corrected
I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are they releasing new graphics too anytime soon? Keep seeing all these promos with new graphics on them..
Biscayne Television operated WCKT (TV) as an amalgamation of James Cox (Miami News) and John S. Knight (Miami Herald) interests, with Nile Trammell, former NBC president, owning a 15% balance.
It's going to be interesting in the next few years when Ed Ansin passes. Not 100% sure if he has any children or if they want to run Sunbeam (and/or their vast real estate fortune around Joe Robbie Stadium). With the estate taxes being so idiotically high (thanks Washington) They more than likely need to sell their stations. Fox would jump at the chance to get them. Until then it's going to be the 900 lb gorilla in south florida!
He has 3 kids, only one is involved with the station though. Ansin being the savvy man that he is probably has the inheritance issue sorted, otherwise it would be a shame to turn that hard work over to FOX

VIDEO: TxDOT beginning 'Bloody 31' passing lane construction
POSTED: Friday, January 3, 2014 - 6:58pm
UPDATED: Friday, January 3, 2014 - 7:52pm
Tyler, Texas (KETK) — For a stretch of East Texas highway infamously known as "Bloody 31," drivers and residents in that area say change and safety can't come soon enough.
The Texas Department of Transportation announced it will begin construction on passing lanes to State Highway 31, east of Tyler.
The $3.5 million project is scheduled to be completed by the summer of 2015.
Comments News Comments
I wish TxDot would do something about "Bloody 69 and 779". If ever they needed to fix a suicide lane, it is there. I just dont know what to do to make it happen. How many lives have to be lost, b4 they will do more than add a flashing stop sign. Come on you people. Left Turn lane would sure help.

Thanks, Jeremy, for picking up on my An American Editor blog post.
I would like to correct one point you made in your article. You mentioned, correctly, that I did not discuss a masthead-type page. FYI, a number of publishers use this masthead system to list at least some of the participants in the process. I didn't address it in my blog because that really is not an acknowledgment by the author, even if the book is self-published. An acknowledgment usually runs "and thanks to Bill Bill for his wonderful editing and catching the many errors I made" whereas a masthead system simply lists Editor: Bill Bill. I do not think the objections to a masthead listing are the same as the objections to an acknowledgment, even if the book is low quality.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Rumored to Play The Riddler in Batman 3
Buzz In: Who Should Play the Riddler in Batman 3?
by Entertainment 46 Reactions 25 Shares Print
I think Gordon-Levitt could be great for the part but the script reportedly calls for an actor between the ages of 35 to 45. If Nolan decides to stick with someone older, previously rumored Johnny Depp could fit the bill, although he's a little over the cap at age 47. Anthony Michael Hall's name was also attached a while back, but that sounds unlikely.
So riddle me this: who would you put in the villainous role? For me, the first guys that come to mind in that age range are Jude Law or Ewan McGregor. Perhaps one of them could step in, but do you have any casting suggestions?
Christopher Nolan
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
4 years
top choices: JGL, Michael C Hall, Edward Norton Andy Serkis and Zachary Quinto are my dark horses
4 years
Just please bring back Anthony Michael Hall in some capacity...one of my favorite actors of the past dozen years, not just his teenage triumphs. He can be a very effective psychopath (CSI:Miami and many TV roles in the 90's) and maybe there is a story behind the Mike Engel story....but he is the perfect age to be The Riddler. Also like the idea of Robert Downey Jr. Would love to see these two on screen/together again.
4 years
Although I think Robert Downey Jr. would be excellent in the role, I would really like to see Edward Norton take a crack at it. He definitely has the ability to play this cerebral, menacing type of villain. I mean, just look at Fight Club and Primal Fear. Need any more evidence?
4 years
DAVID TENNANT im sorry but he will play this part so well. i found this fan-made poster and he looks like he fits it beautifully http://www.flickfilosopher.com/flickfilos/art/tennantriddler.jpg apart from that jgl looks good but this is the kind of character jonny depp would play brilliantly aswell
4 years
hands down, the new riddler should be crispen glover, joseph gordon levitt would be terrible for the part!
4 years
I think this says it all. http://unrealitymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/nph-riddler.jpg NPH FTW!
4 years
Neil Patrick Harris would be good, but I love the idea of an older dark and troubled Riddler, and I can't imagine NPH pulling that off. I would love to see Jim Carrey again... or even Robin Williams... so long as they don't make the character too goofy (which I trust Nolan to abide with). I think Johnny Depp is overrated, and would almost overshadow the Batman franchise. Philip Seymour Hoffman as Penguin: GOLD!
4 years
Neil patrick Harris as the riddler would be, wait for it... Awesome! Johnny depp is my first choice as the riddler would be a mix of mad hatter and Jack sparrow!
Lily-Inferno 4 years
David Tennant would be an ok idea. Michael C Hall? Perhaps. Riddler..isnt funny. Hes more of a creepy genius. Carey was a horrid choice to begin with..and Id like to NOT see Depp. JGL would be good if her were slightly older.
postmodernsleaze 4 years
Oooh, I also like the suggestion of Michael C. Hall! Ok, so those are my top 3 for Riddler: JGL, Robert Downey Jr, and Michael C. Hall.

oh i love me some JGL. he would be great even though he reminds me so much of heath ledger. david tennant is a fantastic suggestion. i personally would love to see crispin glover as the riddler. he'd be amazing.and philip seymour hoffman as penguin! yes please!

Hey do any of you guys remember that old Matlock show about the Lawyer? I was just flipping through channels and I caught a second of it. It was the episode where Conrad joins the series (whoever Conrad is) anyway it was crazy because I noticed that Andy Griffeth A.K.A. Matlock was acting a LOT like Heath Ledgers Joker. It happens right at the end of the episode and it's reminiscent of when The Joker is infiltrating Bruce Waynes Party. I don't know if you can get that online, but I thought it might be interesting to see. I thought it was. Ok later!

I think JGL would be good, regardless of the age. If we were going young, I'd say Jackson Rathbone too.Michael C Hall sure knows how to do the creepy/dangerous, but I've only seen him on Dexter so I can't quite picture him and the sort of wacky Riddler. But I love him and would love to see him do something big like that.

I'm a life long Jim Carrey fan and in that role under Nolan could be HUGE but given the choice of other actors such as Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr. I think Carry would take a back seat to them at this point, however, I wouldn't be disappointed in seeing him reprise the role
nicmic113 4 years
the riddler needs to be funny and creepy and totally wacked out, i cant see any of the actors suggested fitting that role the way Jim Carey did, recast carey
redchick152 4 years
my fav choice is JGL. his career is pretty hot right now and i definitely think he could turn in a performance every bit as chilling and epic as Heath Ledger's. however, i am LOVING the suggestion of Michael C. Hall. with Dexter, he's quietly creepy, so it would be amazing to see him openly creepy as the Riddler!! i really like the idea of casting lesser known actors. this is becoming such a big franchise now that i find it hard to imagine Johnny and RDJ would have the time to commit since they already have Pirate's and Iron Man...although they would be fantastic choices!philip seymour hoffman as the penguin=AMAZING suggestion!!

Last week saw us having a few festivities to mark the end of a major project here; our XP to Windows 7 migration. We're all pretty chuffed with what we've achieved here; a very smooth user upgrade with remarkably few hitches considering from start to finish the project of migrating nearly 2900 machines took 7 months.
This really was a remarkable success. The target time to migrate a user's desktop from XP to Windows 7 was set at 1hr, and this average time was to hold no matter what the site link speed was, and despite the fact that machines would be competing with up to 15 machines being deployed concurrenty.
Most of the migrations were also complicated by the fact that they were at user's desks which were distributed across 50 sites. To enable the deskside techs to focus on confirming machine configuration, specialist software requirements, and the securing/restoration of local user data, the deployment aspect of the migration had to be spot on. The migration process would involve a skeleton ground crew, and thus required a high degree of automation. The tool chosen to execute the migration was DS6.9 and it performed well; 189,000 migration tasks were executed with a four nines accuracy. That's impressive.
Hidden within this project however was another project; our migration to version 7.5 of the Symantec Management Platform. Unknown to most of our users, when they were migrated to Windows 7, they were also migrated to SMP 7.5. This migration was just as smooth. Although we had secured a couple of emergency lifelines within Symantec just in case, it turned out that there was no need to use them. Key points we found were,
- The new SMP SQL used about 50% less CPU resource on our virtual infrastructure despite the database being twice the size and a more aggressive delta update schedule
- No service anomolies as yet to report
- Only minor issues raised to Altiris Support in the migration to SMP 7.5; no show stoppers at any point
- No requirement from me (as yet) to create lots of custom SQL queries to help manage our client estate. Out-of-box functionality now good enough to keep us moving 'off-piste'.
- Much simplified application deployment and reporting (using compliance and flipbooks). Much in the way of day-to-day resource savings here.
- Don't be afraid to lean on your Symantec reps and Partner. They've got the experience you'll need.
- Read the release notes, check out the known issues (it can be embarrasing if you skip this step)
- Check out issues being raised here on Symantec CONNECT. You never know... they just might apply to you!
Important to our implementation was the concept of keeping it simple. So we've only implemented the solutions we really needed,
- Software Management
- Inventory
- Real-time and remote control
- Monitor
Timescales were simply too tight to include anything else. The only customisations we went for here were in the UI to give different roles a different console feel. We don't use Patch, Asset or Deployment in the 7.5 world yet. And our software management currently does not utilise supercedence. As we're sub 5000 clients, we also have a single NS server (no hiearchy) and one site server which hosts task services.
With the migration done and dusted, we've also just recently upgraded to SP1 with only one impacting issue raised; a broken resource manager. This was due to the fact we have duplicate names for our right-click menu tasks (see my other blog today for details) so was nice and simple to resolve. Other than that, I would say it's all pretty much smooth running here.. touch wood.... ;-)
Final words of advice are test as much as you can. Yes, you'll always miss something but you can avoid those nasty show shoppers by testing, testing and then testing again. Good luck!

Another week, another seven days of frustration. Injuries continue to pound my teams, and a lack of movement in the trade market is starting to get to me now (experts are very hard to deal with. I must have send out 25 trade offers the past week – only one was accepted though there might be an AL LABR deal in the works for next week).
FOR MORE ON COLE, CINGRANI & MYERS SEE- Rounding the Bases: Cole, Cingrani & Myers.
TOUT WARS (15 team mixed): Yes, my team has woefully underperformed, but I keep fighting the good fight. This weeks moves... I dropped Eric Young who continues to get playing time but just isn't performing. I tried to get Mr. Blanks but was greatly outspent (my bid was $7). So, I ended up with two start Jacob Turner ($2) to bolster my staff. I also added Eric Stults to help out the staff for $5 as I released Joe Smith. Stults has posted a 3.53 ERA and 1.15 WHIP on the year, and if you haven't noticed he's been on a hell of a run the last three weeks – 2.54 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 21 Ks versus two walks over 28.1 innings. Notable bids: Kyle Blanks ($21), Gerrit Cole ($9), Hector Santiago ($5), Travis Hafner ($3).
LABR (12 team, AL-only): Didn't make a single move this week. I keep trying to trade Jacoby Ellsbury for an elite arm, or Nate McLouth for an established one, but I'm having a hard time finding a taker. I'm in third place overall after a second place finish last year, so I'm hungry, but finding that right fit, with the experts, is always tough (hopefully Michael Pineda, who is on my reserve list, will come through). I lead the league with 91 steals, and according to Larry Schechter I'm on pace to set an all-time record for steals (no one else is within 39 steals). Gotta make a move. Notable bids: Dallas Keuchel ($3), Pedro Ciriaco ($3), Ryan Flaherty ($3), Jose Alvarez ($3)
FSTA (13 team mixed): Fricken Hanley Ramirez just can't get over the hump, and it's killing me. I went $221 for Yasiel Puig, an aggressive bid for me, but I was more than doubled there. I was outbid on Kyle Blanks ($37). I ended up with Daniel Descalso ($11) who qualifies at second, short and third base. He's hitting .413 with 14 RBIs and 12 runs scored the past 19 games. Jared Burton was cast adrift. I also added Dylan Axelrod ($7) at the cost of Edinson Volquez. Dylan has two starts against the Blue Jays and Astros. Notable bids: Yasiel Puig ($521), Anthony Rendon ($103), Kyle Blanks ($85), Kyle Lohse ($21), Chad Gaudin ($17).

SIRIUSXM EXPERTS (12 team mixed): Ubaldo Jimenez ($1) is in, Edinson Volquez is out. Why do I want to punch myself in the face? J.J. Putz, the still injured one, disappears for David Robertson an elite setup arm who could dominate as a closer if anything happened to 430 year old Mariano Rivera. The big move of the week was my $4 add of... Eric Hosmer (Will Venable went bye-bye). Hosmer is hitting .367 in June, but he has only one bomb on the year. Still, he's got the talent to go on a nice, extended run. I hope. Notable bids: Yasiel Puig ($52), Luke Gregerson ($5), Scott Van Slyke ($4), Mike Leake ($3), Bartolo Colon ($3).
SIRIUSXM LISTENER LG (11 team mixed): This is the only league with an open waiver-wire. With too many injured players, and no end in sight, I dropped Brandon Morrow for Yan Gomes since my catcher duo isn't exactly strong (Wellington Castillo is my second). Trying to work the waiver-wire to boost the offense.
K-BAD (12 team mixed): Big news... a trade. I need help on the hill and I had Domonic Brown, you know that pretty solid slugger of the Phillies, to offer up. After sifting through a few blah deals, I settled on one that I think is a big boost (note: dealing in experts leagues is awfully tough. Most think Brown can't keep this up, and most continue to have faith in pitchers that they drafted early in the year even if they've been struggling in a big way to this point of the season). I was able to add Matt Cain in the deal. Looking at his pitching line, and I keep pointing this out when folks ask, the only real difference this season has been his HR/9 mark, and one would think that number should continue to shrink. I made two other moves. I dropped Kevin Gausman for Stults ($17), and I let go Dan Haren – who was replaced by Cain – so I could add Will Middlebrooks. Kevin Youkilis and Hanley Ramirez continue to be in and out of the lineup, so I needed to bolster my CI spot. Notable bids: Gerrit Cole ($224), Rick Porcello ($75), Tyler Colvin ($50), Kyle Blanks ($44), Carlos Quentin ($37), Mike Leake ($22).
FANBALL (13 team mixed): Second place last year, 12 out of 13 this year. Ugh. Big winner this week was Yunel Escobar ($3) as I lost Asdrubal Cabrera to the DL. Eric Stults ($2) makes another appearance at the cost of J.J. Putz. Notable bids: Nolan Arenado ($6), Rick Porcello ($4), Kyle Blanks ($3), Erasmo Ramirez ($1)
