After his acquittal in the killing of Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman is now set to renew his push for legal action against NBC News, the Washington Post reported.
The network was forced to apologize for its botched editing Zimmerman's 911 call in 2012. The edit made it sound like Zimmerman voluntarily told an operator that Martin was black. In fact, he was responding to a question about Martin's race.
NBC fired a reporter and a producer for the error, but that was not enough for Zimmerman, who announced in December that he was suing the network for defamation.

A few days ago Canonical presented an innovative new feature for Ubuntu called Web Apps. Web Apps integrates websites with the Ubuntu desktop making them look like native desktop applications. For example you can control Grooveshark through Ubuntu's sound menu, receive native Facebook notifications, search your Google Docs via Dash and much much more. Here is a video describing the Web Apps feature.
To install Web Apps in Ubuntu Precise Pangolin 12.04 and Quantal Quetzal 12.10 open a terminal and type:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webapps/previewsudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install unity-webapps-preview
Log out and back in to Unity and the Web Apps feature will be automatically enabled. All you have to do is open Firefox or Chromium and start browsing. If a website supports Web Apps feature you will receive a notification on whether you want it to integrate with Ubuntu. For example you can try Gmail, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, Grooveshark, LastFM. Soon I will publish a list with all the supported websites.
Some services like Facebook, Google (including Docs, Gmail, Google+, Picasa and YouTube), Flickr, Twitter, Foursquare and Identi.ca will be directly integrated into Online Accounts.
Have in mind that Web Apps is still under developement, therefore it may have many bugs. This feature won't be backported officially to Ubuntu 12.04.
To remove webapps open a terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install ppa-purgesudo ppa-purge ppa:webapps/previewsudo apt-get remove gnome-control-center-signon signond signon-keyring-extension signon-plugin-oauth2 signon-ui libunity-webapps-chromium unity-chromium-extension unity-lens-gdocs unity-lens-photo unity-scope-flickr xul-ext-webaccounts xul-ext-unity xul-ext-websites-integration
Then log out and back in.

Here is a link to a topic on another site... http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=574524 ...I am very illiterate around computer software, I picked out the parts I wanted and had a tech put it together for me..it has two HDs but one is dead, I'm afraid to take it out but i think it may be the source of the problem. I have Adaware Prof. and ZoneAlarm ISS. Neither one of them is finding any viruses or spyware. My computer has given me the same message since I had it put together, but it has only been doing this for a few months, I'm afraid to turn it off because sometimes it just keeps restarting..I was thinking aout takking out the BIOS battery to reset it but i know nothing about BIOS and how to set it up, I did that on an old computer because it automaticly reset itself. Thanks for any help...
No problem. Just unplug the machine from the wall, remove the battery for 30 seconds and replace, plug it back in and boot. While the machine is down you may want to remove the bad hdd. Just unplug it from the ide ribbon and the power plug.
Are you sure it is safemode, normally a window will appear, informing you that Windows is running in Safe Mode, and the words "Safe Mode" will appear on all four corners of the screen.
If indeed the system only boot up in safemode, you should try a Clean Boot of your machine to help isolate the culprit.
0. From the safemode desktop, click Start, and click Run. The Run window appears.
1. In the Open box, type msconfig and then click OK. The System Configuration Utility appears.
2. From the General tab, click Selective Startup radio button.
3. Uncheck all options with the exception of "Load System Services" & "Use Original BOOT.INI".
When you are done the following should be in an unchecked state, *Process SYSTEM.INI File, Process WIN.INI File & Load startup items* or you've missed something.
4. Click Apply, and then click Close.
5. When prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.
Now if it boot up in normal mode you should get a message to the effect of the changes you just made in msconfig, don't worry about it, but make sure you put a check in the box that says "Do not show me this message again" and click the "OK" button.
If you get as far as above, post back to let us know.
I tried post #2, it didn't work. Yes I am sure my PC is in safe mode. It always tried to boot normally, but restarts while it is on the screen that says "Windows Xp" and has the blue bars going across that litte box. After it restarts it gives me the options of start in safe mode, etc.
I tried #1 just now, that made it worse, now I cant connect to my messengers, its the only way I can talk to my girlfriend...any tips on how to get MSN messenger back up?

Chemical Industry Weekly News Round-Up, October 28
3:43 PM MDT | October 28, 2010 | By VINCENT VALK
Editor's note: I'll be out of the office tomorrow, so here's an early round-up.
This Week on CW:
The big guns reported this week. Dow's earnings nearly doubled, while BASF raised its sales guidance and ExxonMobil Chemical saw a 40% rise in profits.
At K-Show 2010, Sabic told CW that it is planning to enter the polyurethanes business. Also at K-Show, Styron will take Dow's stake in a polycarbonate j.v. with Sumitomo, and Chemtura is rebranding its flame retardants business with a familiar name.
A new study of Chinese factory workers is the first to find proof of BPA exposure adversely impacting humans.
Mitsui and Sinopec are launching a 50-50 j.v. for an EPT plant in China.
Around the Web:
Researchers have found that hydraulic fracking, the form of natural gas drilling needed in much of the Marcellus shale, releases trapped uranium, in Science Daily.
A new survey by the Civil Society Institute, a U.S. think tank, finds that the Tea Party members favor inaction on climate change – but other groups don't.
The Obama administration has approved the largest-ever solar project on federal lands, in southern California, the Associated Press reports.

Lunar New Year in Chinatown, NYC
- elchueco, CNN iReport producer
There were dragons and dragon handlers past Sunday in Chinatown NYC. This was a lively celebration of the Year of Dragon. More people than ever gathered together in tiny streets all smiling, playing and spraying confetti. Some lucky ones passed red envelopes into the mouths of many dragons seen dancing during the annual parade. Some just stayed for fun. We went there and took lots of photos, for full album go to - http://nycfoto.com/l.Z6Eb

Husband with Hep B
Sep 16, 2012
My husband was diagnosised with Hep B. I was tested and I was negitive. My titrates was drawn and I recieved a booster shot about 1 year ago. We are wanting to have a child. Is there anyway that we can have unsafe sex, but me not become infected with Hep B?
Response from Dr. McGovern
I would ask your doctor to check your hepatitis B surface antibody titers to be certain they are still protective and then go ahead and start working on having that baby!

BUFFALO, NY -- Plans are moving forward once again to find a new use for a former hospital building that has been sitting vacant for over a year.
"At this point we've chosen to not to disclose who the developers are but we can say all three are local developers," Michael Hughes with Kaleida Health said.
Three developers have submitted proposals to develop the former Millard Fillmore Gates Circle Project.
"We have to go through them and make sure it's something that can work in this community, in this neighborhood, Hughes said. "Make sure it's something that's financial feasible that the developer can get done."
However, 2 on your side confirmed that one of the developers is Uniland Development Company.
"It's the same proposal," Uniland Spokesperson Jill Pawlik said. "We received positive feedback about it last year so there was really no need to change anything at this time."
Uniland was the runner up for the project about a year ago. Chason Affinity was selected to develop the site, but was never able to recruit a veterinary school as previously planned.
"It's a combination of residential and commercial and a park built in as well," Pawlik said.
Uniland's idea is still a mix used plan that includes apartments, townhomes and boutique hotel.
The plan also includes retail and office space.
"The idea for us is to have a transaction done by the end of the year," Hughes said. "We'll be meeting with the three development groups in the next couple of weeks -- so hopefully in the next 30-60 days we'll have some type of announcement about who they are what they're proposing."

The amyloid plaques which are the main pathological feature of the brains of Alzheimer's sufferers are composed of aggregates of the Abeta protein. The Alzheimer's research community largely supports the hypothesis that small, soluble, mobile aggregates (oligomers) of the Abeta protein are the cause of neurotoxicity in AD. PBT2's ability to inhibit the generation and toxicity of these oligomers, as well as preventing the hyperphosphorylation of tau, while improving cognition, supports the disease modifying potential of PBT2 and other drugs in the Prana development pipeline.
Geoffrey Kempler, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Prana commented: "The results of these studies are encouraging and lend further support to the theories driving development of PBT2. We continue to improve our understanding of PBT2's functionality and potential for disease modification as we move forward with formal clinical development. The ongoing PBT2 Phase IIa trial in early Alzheimer's patients is on track to complete dosing by the end of this year and report early in 2008."
The technique of in vivo brain microdialysis recently adopted as a research tool by Prana scientists provides a unique insight into a dynamic metabolic process, allowing researchers to sample secretions from the brains of conscious, unrestrained test animals freely interacting with their environment. Sampling from the brains of genetically-engineered AD mouse models which have received single or sequential oral doses of PBT2, it was found that the drug exerts its inhibitory effects upon the target molecule, Abeta, rapidly and reproducibly without causing "rebound" effects observed with other drugs in development. Most particularly, a dramatic reduction was observed in soluble oligomers of the size range identified in the literature as the most toxic form of Abeta amyloid in AD.
The findings of these studies confirm and expand upon data

"The last few months have been filled with lots of travel. I feel lucky to be able to experience all these great climbing areas. I went to Arkansas to visit our friends and get some climbing in. We spent two days at Lincoln Lake at an area 45 minutes outside of Bentonville. I loved it! The hike in was beautiful, through the forest along the river. It reminded me of Southern Illinois. The forests back East are so different than out West. All the moss and trees makes it feel magical and haunted.
Cerre Francis shares her latest journeys
February 12, 2010 - Cerre Francis
There where probably only 25 established problems, but I swear everyone was fun and different. I wanted to stay, but we had to move on to Horseshoe Canyon Ranch. People will think I am crazy, but I did not love it. The area is beautiful with potential for hundreds of more problems, but I had a hard time getting psyched on all the arete's. I did do some great problems, but I would have rather been back at Lincoln Lake or in SOILL at the Holy Boulders. I might be a bit pissed too, since I tore my A4 pulley warming up there, but that is a whole other post."

Supported Charities
Hampton Downs MotorSport Park willingly supports four main charities which we respect and look forward to building a further partnership with them to the benefit of everyone involved. The following charities are associated with Hampton Downs through numerous channels like sponsored events, auctions, family event days and employment.
Brain Injury New Zealand
Brain Injury New Zealand (BIANZ) represents the regional Brain Injury Associations around New Zealand. These regional associations provide education, advocacy, support and information to any person with a brain injury and their families and carers.
Our Work
Liaison Service
The regional Brain Injury Associations, through the liaison service, provide a range of practical assistance:
• Information and education for people with brain injury and their families so they can better understand the implications of the injury
• Support groups – check the times with your local association
• Specialist support groups that cater specifically for the needs of men, women or spouses and carers
• Assistance and advocacy support in liaising with ACC, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Social Development, Work & Income and other government or associated agencies
• Information or assistance to obtain the appropriate professional help or service
• Various social activities are run throughout the year, for example, picnics, pot luck dinners and games evenings
• Through your regional association you may be able to access Outward Bound courses, camps and sponsored holiday accommodation
To get in touch with your local Brain Injury Association Liaison Officer, call 0800 272 464.
Education Service
The Education Advisory Service was established by BIANZ with support from ACC to raise awareness of brain injury and promote prevention strategies. Currently, this service is a pilot and confined to the Auckland region, however it is planned to extend the service in 2008.
The Education Advisory Service offers free educational workshops to workplaces, organisations and community groups to provide:
• Information about brain injury – causes, symptoms, effects
• Information about support services available for individuals with a brain injury and their families
• Tips for reducing risk and preventing brain injury
Early intervention and understanding of the issues surrounding brain injury can make a crucial difference for the future of the affected individual, and help them to become an integrated member of your business, organisation or community group.
For more information, contact the Education Advisory Service on
09 414 5693 or 0508 1 BRAIN (0508 1 27246)
or email email@example.com
Cure Kids
Cure Kids seeks key partnerships with smart New Zealand organisations who can help us deliver our vision, to find cures for children with life-threatening illnesses through research.
We work very closely with New Zealand's top researchers and Universities to ensure that the research funded is leading edge and, if successful, will help deliver our vision. Our partners appreciate that the research we fund covers many life-threatening diseases.
One of our main sources of fundraising is through strategic partnerships with New Zealand organisations – organisations that understand research and development, and have staff resources to help us and, in turn, we deliver great 'soft' benefits. Our brand is experiencing significant awareness and understanding in New Zealand through our research achievements, iconic events and media support.
Hampton Downs just south of Auckland and equally accessible from Hamilton, offers a range of opportunities to promote Hampton Downs to thousands of people and at the same time to have fun raising funds to help find positive outcomes for children who live with life threatening illnesses.
Prisoners Rehabilitation Society
Spring Hill Corrections Facility (SHCF) opened in 2007 and was the final and largest of the four new facilities built as part of the Regional Prisons Development Project. SHCF is a 650-bed male prison set on a 215 hectare site and has been purpose built to meet the rehabilitative needs of prisoners.
Reducing re-offending
Reducing re-offending is critical if the Department is to meet its overriding objective of improving public safety.
Reducing re-offending means fewer offenders commit crime after completing their sentences – resulting in fewer victims, a reduction in the cost of crime and safer communities.
SHCF provides prisoners with a range of rehabilitation programmes and interventions that are designed to address the primary causes of their offending and prepare them for release.
The most intensive interventions are targeted at prisoners who are assessed as being a high risk of re-offending, that have severe needs that caused their offending and are motivated to make constructive changes in their lives.
Every prisoner entering SHCF receives a sentence plan which they are required to comply with.
The focus of the sentence plan is on reducing re-offending on release and is developed following an assessment of a prisoner's risk, needs and motivation.
This ensures they are placed on the most appropriate and timely programmes and interventions to address the underlying causes of their offending.
Rehabilitation programmes and interventions provided at SCHF fall into four main categories: motivational, cognitive-behavioural, employment and education, and reintegrative.
Prisoner employment
Prisoner employment, managed by Corrections Inmate Employment (CIE), plays an integral part in the rehabilitation of prisoners as it provides prisoners with essential work skills and habits.
The last prison census in 2003 found more than half of prisoners were not in paid employment prior to sentencing.
Prisoner employment increases the chance a prisoner will find sustainable work on release and research shows this will result in a decreased number of prisoners being reconvicted.
Spring Hill offers three main types of employment:
• internal self-sufficiency activities such as food preparation and laundry
• business-like industries including engineering workshops and construction
• Commercial work parties.
Prisoners are able to earn credits under the National Qualification Framework, allowing them to work towards qualifications whilst they are engaged in employment and training.
Minimum security prisoners who are nearing release may also be eligible to participate in Release to Work.
Release to Work is a form of temporary release that allows prisoners to be in paid work in the community.
It provides prisoners with a stable work record and the job is often carried on after a prisoner's release from prison.

All new from the number-one New York Times best-selling author. As brutal as the undead he hunted, Zacarias De La Cruz was a master executioner. Now his stark and savage journey has ended. For his brothers, Zacarias had walked to the edge of madness, but with centuries as a killing machine now left to the past and without a hunt to define him, Zacarias wonders, for the first time in his life, who he really is.
The answer awaits him back home, in Peru, in the betrayal of a woman who is readying her trap, in the vengeance of an old enemy, in the inevitable consequences of a bloody family legacy - and in the deliverance of a lifemate he never could have imagined.
Love in vein: listen to more Carpathian tales in Christine Feehan's Dark Series.
©2011 Christine Feehan (P)2011 Penguin
"A little drawn out...."
It was OK, but was longer than it needed to be. I was looking forward to Zacarias' story, but his story was drawn out, a lot of repeated dialogue. The story made you feel a little like you rewound the MP3 player because you heard the same story line numberous times. Maybe there is a minimum on pages/hours required by the publisher to account for the repeated information. The book could have been maybe 5 hours shorter. I have been a long time fan of the Dark Series, Drake Sisters, and Ghostwalkers, but I am starting to see a trend of the books becoming drawn out. I would like to see more interaction with the other Carpathian's like in previous stories, this would better fill the space than the repetitive lines.
"I loved my first Audible book"
I loved my first audible book even if I don't love the book I listened too.I wanted there to be more interaction between him and his brothers The whole thing about him only seeing color when they are connected was different.I liked that she made the characters flawed.I was looking for a little more out of this book but as always i'm looking forward to the next one and I hope to be surprised after all these book are not cheap and refunds are not availible
"Ugggghhhhhhh on and on about the some ole...!"
I cant believe this over descriptive drivel was published. I am disappointed I wished I save my credit for something better. No action whatsoever, just stagnate and boring. I really hate to say this but Christine Feehan needs to hang it up on the dark series, if all her books going to be run on sentences. I hate to say this though, the Narrators are absolutely awesome, hence the 5 stars for performance.
I love books, it's my great escape.
"Excellent addtion to the series"
Bravo, Christine Feehan you have done it again. The story line was intriguing, entertaining, and held my attention the entire length of the book. An added surprise was that this audio book had two readers. In my opinion both readers did an excellent job. In fact, I just finished the book and have started listening all over again; just to make sure I did not miss anything. LOL.
"Waste of time"
not the same as the first books
half to the book was sex, not enough story.
"What can I say... Lacking"
I Love love love, Christine Feehan and the Dark Series. And I have been waiting for this book fom the moment I met Zac in a book WAY back when... so why wasn't there more dialogue???? I was so over what they were
"Dark Predator"
If you are a fan of Christine Feehan you will enjoy this book. One element that I really like that there were two readers.
"Loved it"
I enjoy this series by Christine Feehan. By far Zacarius is my very favorite Carpathian. It is a great story of how we can have tunnel vision and become disconnected with the world around us; then bang your blindsided and must choose what to do.
"A Must Listen too if you like Christine Feehan!"
The storyline is awesome and Erik Bergman did an awesome job of narrating it!
Zacarias, of course!
This is probably my favorite book, next to Dark Prince.
Say something about yourself!
"Well, not her best."
I am a fan of the Dark Series and have enjoyed most of them. However, this will be a waste of your credit. Absolutely no story, or should I say the same conversation between two characters chapter, after chapter, after chapter. I always expect redundancy with these books, but this was actually offensive to me. It's like they threw a book together to make money. Perhaps they should call it day with the Dark Series because this seems like a road-ender.
On a up note I did enjoy the narrators. I'm sure I would thoroughly enjoy them with good material.

|A unique place setting!
|A unique place setting!
|1st Communion Dresses
I'd like to preface this entire post by saying that I don't know why the girl in this photo is barefoot and holding a puppy, but that it hardly matters because she's too pretty for words and that dress is gorgeous.
And guess what! You can buy that dress or any of our other stunning 1st Communion dresses at Sophia's Style!
Also, we have lots of beautiful plus size communion gowns! I take quite a few customer service calls and Live Chats throughout the day, and I come across lots inquiries about our plus size collections. Well, our selection of plus size Communion dresses used to be very limited, so I was thrilled when we decided to start carrying Sweetie Pie special occasion dresses. They make beautiful dresses in every size, so you can find the perfect fit for your girl!
In other news, our Tips and Guides blog is featuring ideas for DIY Christmas gifts today, you can check it out here.
|Plus Size Girl's Clothing
It's a little known fact that Sophia's Style carries some very cute girls plus size clothes!
We have a variety of styles, so you can find the looks that compliment her the best. Our plus size girl's clothing mostly comes from three of my favorite designers; Bonnie Jean, Rare Editions, and Spoiled Little Mama. All three of those brands are seriously high quality, and most department stores carry their styles at astronomical prices. Luckily, we keep our designer clothing affordable, so you won't have to pay a fortune to dress your daughter in fabulous dresses and outfits.
This blog was first posted at Trendy Girls Fashion Blog.
Sometimes, finding cute clothes can be the biggest nightmare, and it's such a shame when that's the case, because shopping is supposed to be fun! If you're looking for plus size girls clothing, the search can be especially difficult. At Sophia's Style, we've got every kind of plus size girls clothes, and we make an effort to ensure that everything we carry is as stylish and unique as possible in every size!
These days our society puts so much pressure on kids to look "perfect" at such a young age, it's simply not fair. As your girl grows up, her body is going to change drastically a number of times, and she's going to want to find clothes that make her feel good during each one of those phases.
When I was in junior high, I hit a growth spurt that sent me a good three inches above every other kid in my class, and I hated it. My mother and I scoured the malls in search of pants that would be long enough for me, but no matter where we looked, I always wound up in jeans that couldn't quite reach the tops of my shoes. I was about as awkward as a pre-teen could get. One of my closest friends, Amanda, had the opposite problem, she hit 4'10" and got stuck there for two years, while the whole rest of her body filled out. Every pair of pants she got had to be hemmed, and she had to shop in the women's section for tops.
At Sophia's Style, we want every girl to be able to have beautiful clothing at every stage of her life! That's why we carry a variety of sizes, so girls who grow up like Amanda and I can shop together on our site and find dresses, tops, pants, and everything else they need, and they can actually have fun doing it!
Show your girl Sophia's Style girls plus size clothing, she'll have a great time getting her fall wardrobe together this year!

This guest article is brought to you by Miculka; he enjoys sunsets, long walks on the beach, and frisky women. Go follow him on Twitter @culky_poo.
So, being the lonely virgin I am, I could think of no better way to top off the week than by seeing a movie with my crew (one of them being smoot herself). But not just any movie – no, we went to see a flick about the most riveting thing of all: the fucking economy, bitches.
Before being seated, shit, on the way to the theatre, I was possessed by a single riveting notion: "I wonder what the old person to hipster ratio will be?" Well now I know, and I can say in confidence that it's, like, 56 to fucking 3. Should have seen that one coming. Oh, there was also a balding lady that had Dangerfield's eyes and Rickles' jowls. You know what, I'm fairly certain that she was supposed to be a secret Frankenstein experiment to piece together a mega-comedian from the bits of lesser comedians who escaped her laboratory chambers and were wandering the streets in fear whilst trying to fit into the real world. Now that's a movie I would pay to watch. Experience so far: fucking terrified.
There was a kid working at the theatre with a new age mullet, so that was cool. You wanna' know how I figured it was new age? He was wearing motherfucking striped TOMS. It doesn't get much more hip and fashionable than that, yo. To boot, there was even a shitty crystal chandelier that didn't match for shit to complete that copiously ironic/old person vibe.
At this point you may be thinking to yourself, "Wow, this guy is neither funny nor to the point," and you would be totally right on both accounts, but we had to wait a good hour and a half for this bitch to start. So think about it this way: I'm merely trying to convey my experience to you, the poor bastard duped into reading this. That, and we had to spend that whole time sitting on stone, so you could say that I'm very literally…butt-hurt.
Anyway, my Jewish pal, David (because he's really Jewish), spotted a sign for another movie called "Shalom Aleichem" and relapsed into a violent fit of mild irritation. The poster for that very movie was right outside the entrance to our theatre. Needless to say, he clenched so tight I witnessed a singularity occur before my very eyes.
Eat your heart out, CERN. When we were seated, I got antsy once again and shit happened. Onto other things.
As the lights go down and the Night of the Living Dead, I mean, the old people disappear into the darkness, there is the obligatory listing of famous people names. Kevin Spacey – quality. Zachary Quinto – quality. Demi Moore – a round of chuckling ensues. Fair enough. The movie starts off with some dude getting laid off at some financial firm that may or may not be real. Who gives a fuck. Anyway, bossman number one comes onto the floor like some sort of office-Stalin to give everybody a pep talk after most of their coworkers have been sodomized by the long member of business. At this point you say to yourself, "I bet this place is called Assholes Inc. Like Monsters Inc. But with more anuses. Christ I'm good, I need to write this down." And to top it all off, the bossman is bitching and moaning about his dying dog instead of his coworkers. Cut to five minutes later where there is a shot of him trying to comfort his ailing dog in a vet clinic. This time the internal monologue turns to, "MY EMOTIONS. I BET MOFFAT WROTE THIS."
Regardless, the dude who was fired earlier was pretty pissed as the firm cut off his cell phone, internet, etc. and shit. Essentially they cut this guy off in the name of the firm's security.
Yeah, fuck you, man, you can't do sh- IS THAT A USB, ANYTHING BUT THAT.
Yup. He is fired and gives his USB-of-bad-omens-forged-in-the-fiery-heart-of-Mount-Mortgage to Quinto's character who finds information so fucking terrifying that there is honestly a sequence in the movie where he slowly removes his earbuds and stares at a computer screen in shock. NOW IT'S A THRILLER. From that point on, well, let's just say the surprises keep rolling in. First shocker, there's another bossman. Second, ANOTHER bossman. Third, EVERYBODY IS A BOSSMAN. It's Boss-ception.
Moving on, they basically all come to the realization that fecal matter is about to get very, very real. Thus begins the meandering moral friction between maximizing profits and getting out quickly against responsibility that I don't care to go too in depth with (because I'm only one autonomous energy entity in the form of a person). Predictably enough, the British top bossman wants to maximize profits and spunk out of the market. However, there are a series of events that reveal each character's dichotomy between the desire to earn and their obligation to the rest of society. Or something like that.
As you might expect, the firm ends up liquidating practically everything and thereby setting off the chain of events that would blow up the markets in 2008. Everybody could figure how it would pan out, but the commentary provided through the character interactions is interesting. For example, one of the bossmen makes the point that they shouldn't be lampooned (even though he accepts that it will inevitably happen) because normal people, the fucking assholes, want to live like kings instead of face reality, thus delegating the responsibility of maintaining their almost stupid amount of wealth to the people that are now crashing the system. Along that line of dialogue, the point is also made that their decision was a merciful one as if they had let shit get more outta' hand, the consequences would have been exponentially worse.
The movie itself is well made; the cinematography is pretty well executed and is able to convey the tension of the situation seeing as the whole film takes place within a single floor of a single building. Furthermore, the fact that it pans out in a mere 24 hours really lumps on the sense of impending doom.
To some, I would imagine, this movie is a boring foray into the land of boring financial forays. I know smoot was in that camp. But, if you want to see something well produced that occasionally brings up rather interesting points, it may be worth your time.
By the end of it all, though, this is about how much we cared.
In the way of life-changing movies, Margin Call wasn't really up there. But it was still pretty good.
Now excuse me while I tend to my financial depression safety bunker. Fun fact: it's filled with solid gold and jars of my own piss, because we all know that our water reserves will be tainted with the corpses of brokers who will have drowned themselves in despair. I will then proceed to steal an oil truck for a band of settlers so that they may reach the coast and establish me as their savior.

Tuesday, May 11, 2010 (Last Updated: 05/12/2010)
TUESDAY, May 11 (HealthDay News) -- Women who have had prior radiation treatment for unilateral Wilms tumor diagnosed in childhood have a higher risk of pregnancy and birth complications, according to research published online May 10 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Daniel M. Green, M.D., of the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., and colleagues reviewed pregnancy outcomes of female Wilms tumor survivors and female partners of male Wilms tumor survivors using a maternal questionnaire and maternal and offspring medical records. A total of 700 sets of maternal/offspring records were reviewed.
The researchers found that an increasing radiation dose in female patients was associated with increased risk for several complications, including hypertension complicating pregnancy, early or threatened labor, and malposition of the fetus. Risk of having a low-birth-weight infant also increased with increased radiation dose, as did risk of premature birth. There was no significant association of congenital fetal anomalies with radiation dose in the mother. In female partners of male Wilms tumor patients, no significant trend was found in the risk for any complication with the radiation dose the father received.
"This study was undertaken to more thoroughly evaluate the effect of various doses of flank radiation therapy on the risk of pregnancy complications, premature birth, and congenital malformations in the offspring of women and the partners of men treated for Wilms tumor during childhood," the authors write. "The obstetrical management of the pregnancies of these women should take these elevated risks into consideration."

Cardinals kicker John Wallace (45) was carried off the field by his teammates after kicking the game-winning field goal during overtime against the Bearcats last October.
The final game in "old" Nippert Stadium could feature one of the most electrifying atmospheres in University of Cincinnati football history.
UC hopes to set a stadium record for attendance when the Bearcats (9-2, 6-1 American Athletic Conference) face regional rival Louisville (10-1, 6-1 AAC) on Thursday, Dec. 5 at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN. It will be the regular season finale for both teams, with both ranked in various Top 25 polls and still contending for the AAC's BCS bowl berth.
"I'm excited about playing our rival team, a team that we don't play any more after this year," UC coach Tommy Tuberville ...

By RACHEL BROWNE
5 May 1996
Sun Herald
LISA McCune, officially voted Australia's most popular actress and most eligible woman, is having a bad day. Out of bed at the crack of dawn, she's filming a scene in Melbourne's historic Williamstown as the rain drizzles down and the bitter wind blows, and she's feeling anything but popular or eligible.
She's up to the fifth take and keeps stumbling over her lines – all legal jargonese.
Finally she cracks and lets forth a stream of language which would make even the cops at the NSW Royal Commission blush as the Blue Heelers' crew looks on and laughs good naturedly.
Snapping back into focus, she smiles through gritted teeth: "I can get this right. Do I look worried?"
And get it right she does, on the very next take.
"Some days it just does not go well," she says later, sitting inside the Williamstown Historical Society's headquarters, which provides the rustic old world charm for today's location. "One day I had to do 19 takes before I got it right. I was beside myself. I was throwing my hat on the ground, jumping up and down screaming, 'Why isn't this f***ing working?!"
"You have your good days and your bad days. I can be grumpy one day and floating on air the next. That's just life. It's just as well no one takes it too seriously."
It's hard to picture the unflappably nice, angelic-looking blonde having a hissy fit – but then, there is much more behind this girl-next-door than meets the eye.
"You wouldn't think it to look at her, but she can go off – she loves a dance, likes a drink, likes a good time," says Martin Sacks, who plays fellow cop and Maggie Doyle's on-off love interest.
"On the show she's so straight and Pollyanna-ish, but in real life she's not like that at all."
At NOW's photo shoot, Sydney-born, Perth-bred 25-year-old McCune speaks enthusiastically about her plans for the weekend. She's flying up to the Gold Coast launch of the Hard Rock Cafe with boyfriend Jamie Osborne, the guitarist in rock band Choice, who she met three years ago while doing back-up vocals for the group.
"Jamie and I went to the opening of the Hard Rock Cafe in Melbourne and it was great – all this free booze. We got smashed! So I hope it's like that on the Gold Coast," she jokes.
Not that she's a lush. Her Blue Heelers schedule doesn't allow for it. As she points out, there's no way she wants to rise at 5am with a sore head for a day of car chases and catching crims. Besides, the action scenes are her favourite.
"I love a good gun-toting siege and I love a car chase," she says, beaming. "I love getting out on location and there are fast cars and skids and prangs. The bogan in you comes out and it's fantastic!"
When McCune started on Blue Heelers 2 1/2 years ago, the then director, now supervising producer Ric Pellizzeri, thought the doll-sized actress looked too fragile to play a feisty cop, but has been surprised by her mettle.
"I thought, she's so tiny, she's dwarfed by the rest of the guys, how is she going to play a cop?," he recalls.
"But she turned out to have a strong physicality. I've just watched her do a search in a shearing shed, where she has to upturn people's belongings. She just rips into it. She's the same with the cars and the guns. She's always covered in bruises, but she never complains. She likes the danger and excitement. She's certainly a woman of contrasts, because on one hand she looks like she needs to be protected and looked after, but on the other there's this very strong person who enjoys bashing our guest actors over the head."
Contradictions abound in Lisa McCune. While she's adored by the public and receives sackloads of fan mail, mainly from girls who see Maggie Doyle as a role model, she is wary of being pigeon-holed as the ever-smiling girl-next-door.
"I guess it's better than being labled Lisa McCune super-vixen," she laughs. "But it's not me. Sometimes, when people tell me that, I think, 'How nice, but if only they knew …'
"The problem with having that image is that you have to break out of it."
Much as McCune adores Blue Heelers and Maggie Doyle, she wants her next role to be as far removed from that as possible. She's currently playing an emotionally abused wife in the low-budget film Inner Sanctuary, but says she'd love to play a prostitute after observing the streetwalkers outside her recently bought apartment in Melbourne's red light district, St Kilda.
But McCune's not in a hurry to hang up her holster. She joined Blue Heelers as a 23-year-old after an inauspicious TV debut as the face of the Coles supermarket chain. While most of her contemporaries from the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts have had periods of pulling beers or waiting tables, McCune has enjoyed a dream run which about she has no illusions.
Trained as a singer, she admits to being riddled with insecurity about her acting ability, having a crisis over turning 25 because each passing year means fewer opportunities, and prone to moments of panic about her future despite being tagged one of the country's brightest young talents.
"You can never believe what you read because, although people might think I'm hot at the moment, the minute I'm not doing Blue Heelers any more people will say 'Lisa who?' and then I'll start appearing in whatever-happened-to articles," she says, her brow furrowing.
"If I get work, that's great. I think the one thing that may help me is that I've done this show and it has credibility. Hopefully later on I won't have to take a job because I'm on the brink of bankruptcy, I'll take it because I want to do it."
The modesty is not false. Martin Sacks says he just shakes his head in disbelief when he hears his co-star talk that way.
"She's very self-deprecating," he says. "I mean, she's been on the show for two and a half years and she'll still turn around and say 'Is that okay?' after every take.
"She has a strong sense of self-doubt which isn't matched by her work. Lisa's always convinced that if she does something wrong she'll get the sack, while I think 'they day they sack you will be the day hell freezes over'.
Ric Pellizzeri says McCune will be the one to call the shots in her career.
"There are so many variables in this industry, but Lisa's certainly got the ability and the talent and the 'it' factor to go as far as she wants to.
"But we hope she doesn't – well, not immediately, anyway – we'd miss her too much on Blue Heelers."

Richard Beck over at Experimental Theology is linking to this paper, written by Daniel Dennett and Linda LaScola from the Center for Cognitive Studies at Tufts University. In the paper, they describe LaScola's interviews of five pastors/preachers who are secretly atheists. These five – all self selected for the study, of course – not only detail their journey from belief to unbelief, but also talk about why they are quite sure that they are only the tip of an iceberg. It really is a riveting read.
Their stories are all remarkably similar. In each case, they enter seminary with a very traditional view of the Christian faith, which sees the Bible as an inerrant document, inspired by God, which depicts "real" stories. Adam and Eve actually existed as the first two humans. Jonah really did spend three days in a whale. Jesus really did say the things attributed to him in exactly the way it is depicted in the Bible. People really do end up in a literal, burning hell.
In seminary, however, the pastors were exposed to textual and historical-critical perspectives of the Bible. These perspectives tend to show how the original texts of the Bible were adapted and altered over time, how they were often cut-and-paste patchworks of stories and ideas from various sources, and how cultural and personal bias often found their way into the manner in which the Biblical authors presented their stories and arguments. The effect of all of this is a view of scripture that is "demythologized," a phrase that is used in the academic world to describe a story may convey a certain truth, but which didn't really happen. When they were exposed to these ideas in seminary, they either (a) underwent a crisis of faith or (b) learned, ironically, to compartmentalize their seminary education from their true faith.
The five pastors all emphasize that they were not alone. This crisis was common among their classmates, many of whom openly resisted a lot of what they were taught. Presumably, it continues to happen today.
How does "seminary shock" translate into what we hear from the pulpit? Simple. They don't tell us what they really think. It is, Dennett and LaScola observe, almost like a conspiracy:
One can be initiated into a conspiracy without a single word exchanged or secret handshake; all it takes is the dawning realization, beginning in seminary, that you and the others are privy to a secret, and that they know that you know, and you know that they know that you know. This is what is known to philosophers and linguists as mutual knowledge, and it plays a potent role in many social circumstances. Without any explicit agreement, mutual knowledge seals the deal: you then have no right to betray this bond by unilaterally divulging it, or even discussing it.
This don't-ask-don't-tell approach to ministry is, I suspect, the dirty little secret of the pastoring business. They simply don't believe much of what they seem to be asking the laity to believe. And there are plenty of ways to equivocate, wiggling around the tough issues. Theology is such a metaphor-intensive endeavor that it is very easy for a pastor to have a conversation with you about God's influence on history, for example, without ever poking around at his/her belief about the nature of God. In the Pastor's thoughts and careful phraseology, the conversation is about the concept of God influencing history, even though you have something much more literal in mind.
I don't think, by the way, that the vast majority of pastors – even a significant number of them – are atheists per se. These five pastors may be the tip of the iceberg, but I imagine that what is really floating under the surface are a lot of dedicated ministers of genuine faith, who love Christianity and their own traditions, but who can't connect what they learned in seminary with the issues they have to address in the pulpit. And I think they are very anxious about how to do ministry when their education is so disconnected from their work.
Why do they hide what they think? The cynic would say that it is merely to avoid offending you, so they can keep their jobs, keep you in the pew, and to keep your checks flowing into the Church coffers. And there may be some truth to that. However, I think it is more likely that they are trying to do three things:
- "Protect" their congregation from ideas that might also harm their faith;
- Preserve the Christian tradition, because – after all – they might be wrong about how it is all wrong, and they want to give it a fighting chance to survive; and
- They see that, even "demythologized," Christianity benefits society, and they remain committed to it for that reason.
The problem is that this disconnect is making a lot of pastors feel like frauds, giving answers that they are either questioning themselves or that they simply don't believe. That sense of anxiety is doubtless having ripple effects on their marriages, their families, and their churches.
Is it really for the best if pastors "protect" us from what they learned in seminar? My conviction is that it is not. When seminary training and ministry are overly compartmentalized, the results are shallow sermons, lifeless theologies, and stagnant traditions. Tell us what we want to hear, and only what we want to hear, and we will never grow.
Furthermore, the same questions that the clergy began to encounter in seminary 20 years ago are now making their way onto the street. Why does God allow suffering? Can someone really survive in a whale for three days? Were Adam and Eve real people? Every one of those questions is floating around in the worlds where paritioners now live. Ignore them, and attention and attendance will continue to shrink.
What is needed is open discussion where people – clergy and laity – can be safe to ask questions and test ideas without fear of retribution or scorn. My guess – my experience – is that, once the conversation begins to flow, we will discover that God hasn't vanished, and that – in fact – he is bigger, more real, and much more wonderful than anything we would ever have found under the old, rigid view of the Bible that is regularly shattered in seminary.

GERMANY (KTHV) - Germans celebrated Walpurgis Night, the night before May Day. This celebration is similar to Halloween as it has to do with supernatural spirits.
Germans celebrate with bonfires to drive out the winter cold and welcome spring. Walpurgis Night is celebrated mainly in Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Germany.
Walpurgis gets its name from Saint Walburga, a woman born in what is now England in 710. She traveled to Germany to become a nun. Following her death in 778 she was made a saint with May 1 as her saint day.
According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, St. Walburga is invoked as special patroness against hydrophobia, and in storms, and also by sailors. In 748, St. Walburga was traveling by sea with other nuns and when the weather turned bad, St. Walburga prayed on the deck and the weather calmed down. Sailors said this was a miracle.
The Brocken, the highest peak in the Hartz Mountains, is the focal point of Walpurgis as the mist and clouds above it give it a mysterious aura, contributing to legend that's where witches and devils live.

PHOTOS: Amazing pictures of waterspouts and other severe weather events!
LOS ANGELES (CBS) - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Eric Wright was arrested Monday on suspicion of drunk driving following a collision in downtown Los Angeles.
Wright, 26, was booked on suspicion of felony DUI after his arrest at about 12:30 a.m. at James M. Wood Boulevard and Georgia Street, Los Angeles police spokeswoman Officer Rosario Herrera said.
Wright was released about 10:35 a.m. after posting $100,000 bail.
Wright was driving a Mercedes-Benz that collided with a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck, Herrera said. Wright said he was not injured, but the other motorist complained of pain.
Wright allegedly told officers he had been drinking earlier at a friend's home in the Hollywood area, and refused to submit to a Breathalyzer or field sobriety test, LAPD Officer Norma Eisenman told the Los Angeles Times.
Wright played football at the University of Southern California. He was previously arrested in March 2005 on suspicion of rape in Los Angeles, but charges were never filed.
Wright transferred to the University of Nevada Las Vegas and later played for the Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns before signing with Tampa Bay.

Corey Anderson says 'super' IPL show 'perfect timing' for him, team
New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson has admitted that his recent Indian Premier League (IPL) performance has come at the 'perfect time' for him and his team Mumbai Indians.
Anderson's unbeaten 95 off 44 balls for Mumbai helped secure a playoff spot against Chennai Super Kings and showed his sharp sense of timing, after his world record ODI century against West Indies on New Year's Day rocketed his name into IPL calculations.
According to Stuff.co.nz, after scoring 150 runs (highest score 39) from his previous nine innings in a much-hyped debut season, Anderson, who finally justified his price tag of 866,000 dollars, said that given he thought he would be sent back after a lusterless stint, the match was the perfect timing, both for him and his IPL team.
Mumbai required 190 off 14.3 overs against Shane Watson's Rajasthan Royals to pip them on net run rate, and they got there with help from Anderson's six booming sixes after he strode out at 19-1, the report added.
