Varāhamihira's Varahamihira's knowledge of Western astronomy was thorough. In five sections, his monumental work progresses through native Indian astronomy and culminates in two treatises on Western astronomy, showing calculations based on Greek and Alexandrian reckoning and even giving complete Ptolemaic mathematical charts and tables.
Although Varāhamihira's Varahamihira's writings give a comprehensive picture of 6th-century India, his real interest lay in astronomy and astrology. He repeatedly emphasized the importance of astrology and wrote many treatises on śakuna shakuna (augury) as well as the BṛhajBrihaj-Jātaka Jataka ("Great Birth") and the Laghu-Jātaka Jataka ("Short Birth"), two well-known works on the casting of horoscopes.

Rocking StoneSinging sensation Joss Stone is ditching soul - for hard rock.
The stunning blonde has reportedly agreed to record a track with the Foo Fighters after frontman Dave Grohl suggested they work together.
The former Nirvana drummer was said to be desperate for Joss to provide vocals on some of their new songs.
A source is quoted by Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: "Dave adores Joss. He's totally blown away by her vocal abilities and made a direct beeline for her when he spotted her backstage at a concert.
"They hung out together for the whole afternoon and if they can arrange their busy schedules to suit, there'll definitely be some form of collaboration together in the future."
Earlier this month the stunning 18-year-old took an apparent swipe at diva Mariah Carey for performing her latest single at the Live 8 charity show.
Joss believes people shouldn't have sung their new songs at the star-studded concert because it shouldn't have been for personal gain.

More Fun Fayetteville Weather
UPDATE: All running events have been pushed back about one hour, and the CBS College Sports TV window has been moved back as well. The show will now air from 7-10 p.m. Central time. All field events have also been moved to tonight, but the weather looks like it should hold for the rest of the day.
For the third time in the four days that the Huskies have been in Fayetteville, a large thunderstorm passed over the area, dropping rain in sheets and prompting tornado warnings. Morning action at NCAA's was delayed once again, and while the worst of the storm seems to have passed, conditions are still very wet and gray. It remains to be seen if the start times for any of the Huskies will be affected. Washington's first participants today were to be Jared O'Connor and Scott Roth in the men's pole vault final, beginning at 3:45 p.m. Central.Today is the first day of action that will be televised live, as the CBS College Sports channel broadcasts from 6-9 p.m. Central time. That window covers all running events today, so there are still several hours for the weather to clear and the meet to be televised as planned. Huskies competing on the track this evening will include Mel Lawrence in the steeple final at 6:25 Central, Jordan Boase in the 400m semis at 7:25, and Katie Follett in the final of the 5,000-meters at 8:15. For Comcast subscribers in the Seattle area, CBS College Sports is channel 412.
Looking back at yesterday's action, the following photo gallery has been updated, and a post-race interview with Anita Campbell following her third-place finish in the 10,000-meters will be up shortly
Here is the video interview with Anita Campbell after last night's 10,000-meters run:

Welcome to The Tablescaper.
This certainly seems to be one of those winters that is never ending.
The romance of Valentine's Day is packed away, so…
…I decided it was time for a little drama.
Nothing says drama like black.
I've had this Ralph Lauren tablecloth and matching napkins for
several years, but had never used it.
It definitely was a bit of a challenge because I couldn't decide what to
use with it.
That seems laughable now as the choice of the Bordallo Pinheiro, as it
seems so obvious.
I'm calling this tablescape, Winter Garden.
It has all the touches of a garden…
…lots of green…
…and flowers,…
…but certainly there is winter…
…stirring at this table.
Hope you're making the best of this long winter.
Embrace the quiet time.
Try to pull together something you've never done before!
Kindly visit the following memes I'm joining:
- Susan at Between the Naps for Tablescape Thursday
- Cindy at My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday
- Joyce at I Love Pretty Little Things for Friday Pretties
- Jerri at Simply Sweet Home for Friday Favorites
- Laurie at Bargain Hunting with Laurie for Favorite Things Saturday
Be sure to come back and celebrate WINTER
with us on Sunday for Seasonal Sundays!

last year I was wear duofold sportsman thermals, not sure if they were expedition weight or midweight. But they were 100% fleece or polypropylene fleece maybe idk. Anyways I somehow tossed them last year, which was stupid. But now I have to buy thermals again. Im not going to be biking, just walking to school and stuff. I live in buffalo and it can get down nearly to 0 degrees during winter time.
Okay so what I'm looking for is would to purchase new thermals. Possibly on ebay since they have a lot of good prices and some of the sellers do seem reputable with their feedback etc. And I don't want to spend much more than $20 to $30 for each item. I'm going to need thermal bottom base layer and thermal shirt layer.
Would getting duofold sportsman be okay? Or should I look into Under Armor Coldgear Compression Shirt or something else? My guess is whatever I get it should be okay as long as the material is polypropylene, fleece or wool.
Also I know about the weights such as midweight and expedition weight, but where does military fit in? Is it better than expedition weight?

Because a movie and/or TV show in a catalog at a studio is now something to be licensed, rebranded and repackaged and resold, a romantic classic and cult series are getting fresh life on the small screen.
First up, 1990 romance classic "Ghost" starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore is going to become a weekly thing. Paramount is putting a show into development with Akiva Goldsman ("Winter's Tale," "I Am Legend") and Jeff Pinker ("Fringe," "Lost") teaming up on a pilot script that will find some way to serialize the story of a ghost who teams with a psychic to connect with his living wife. Maybe it'll be told through the eyes of the psychic who was an adventure with romantic ghosts each week? Who knows... But maybe pottery will become popular again?
Meanwhile, omnipresent producers Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci are behind a reboot of "Tales From The Darkside," the '80s anthology horror series. It could promising, but it's also set up at CW, so consider yourself warned. Joe Hill (the scribe behind the source material for "Horns," "Locke & Key" and more) will pen this new take, which will take on the 30-minute format with plans to try and have this up and running by next summer. Again, this has potential but considering CW's idea of horror is "Vampire Diaries," well, we're keeping expectations low. [Deadline]

Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm has paid off her NCAA basketball tournament debt.
Granholm was photographed in a Tar Heel jersey and hat to settle her wager with North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue on the tournament's championship game. North Carolina toppled Michigan State 89-72 on Monday.
A photo released Friday by Granholm's office shows the governor wearing the jersey and ready to bite into a Krispy Kreme doughnut with Carolina blue icing.
A basketball with a Michigan State logo is strategically positioned in the background.
Granholm also made a $100 personal donation to the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina to settle the bet.

(Continued: Page 2 of 2)
In addition to the touch screen and voice command for many functions, the Mazda6 driver can make use of a control knob on the center console to make onscreen selections by twisting and pressing. This knob is surrounded by shortcut keys for its four major infotainment functions (audio, phone, navigation, and setup) along with a pair of back buttons. This is the first time that I've seen a physical controller with this generation of Mazda infotainment. I like the fact that Mazda gives its drivers so many options for interacting with the tech.
Turn-by-turn directions and audio sources reach your ears via a standard (for the Grand Touring model) 11-speaker Bose audio system that sounds good for this price level, but not great. Digital audio sources include HD Radio tuning, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, USB and iPod connectivity, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling and audio streaming, and a single-disc CD player with MP3 decoding capability. Analog audio sources include AM/FM radio and a 3.5mm analog auxiliary input.
Pair a smartphone that is running Pandora Internet Radio and the Mazda system can even take control of the app, so you can browse your stations, skip tracks, and assign thumbs-up and thumbs-down ratings from the touch screen.
You can also access a number of vehicle options via the 5.8-inch screen, including controlling the behavior of the automatic HID headlamps, automatic windshield wipers, and power locks with keyless entry and push-button start. There are physical controls elsewhere for activation of the Adaptive Front Lighting feature that steers the headlamps with the wheels to illuminate around bends.
Standard safety tech includes a rearview camera, which also makes use of the 5.8-inch screen. While this system does display static distance markers, those lines don't move when you steer the wheel to predict your trajectory. Users can add optional Rear Backup Sensors to the mix for $475 for an extra layer of auditory warning.
In the side mirrors, you'll find small LEDs for the blind-spot monitoring system, which also beeps if the turn signal is activated with a vehicle in the way. This system also includes cross-traffic alert, which beeps when a vehicle approaches from the side while you're reversing. This is a great standard feature for drivers who often navigate crowded parking lots filled with large, vision-blocking SUVs, and I'm happy to see it showing up on more vehicles.
Finally, our Mazda6 was equipped with a $900 Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) and Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW) Package that adds, well, radar-guided adaptive cruise control and a Forward Obstruction Warning system that beeps to warn an inattentive driver if the system detects that a collision with a vehicle or pedestrian is imminent. In combination with the Smart City Brake Support system, the FOW system can also begin applying the brakes in an attempt to reduce the speed and severity of the accident or avoid the collision.
Pricing and sum
The entry-level Mazda Mazda6 i Sport starts at $20,880 with a fairly basic level of in-dash technology and cabin comfort. Our 2014 Mazda Mazda6 i Grand Touring, on the other hand, is an all-inclusive, full-loaded upgrade at $29,495 with all of the cabin technology currently available to the sedan, a good showing of standard safety tech, and plenty of cabin comfort and styling upgrades.
Our as-tested price of $31,490 also includes $900 for the MRCC and FOW package, $300 for the Soul Red paint (money well spent, IMHO, on a gorgeous deep color), and $795 in destination fees. This vehicle will no doubt be cross-shopped with the 2013 Toyota Camry and 2013 Honda Accord and will compare favorably in styling, tech, and value. However, I think that the most dangerous competition to the Mazda6 comes from the 2013 Ford Fusion, which is an equally good value when comparably equipped and is also available with such advanced driver aid features as lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, and the crowd-pleasing Active Park Assist automated parallel-parking system.
Of course, patient prospective 2013 Mazda6 owners can wait until the $2,080 Advanced Package comes available in late May; it adds a lane departure warning system, automatic high-beam headlights, and Mazda's i-ELOOP system, which replaces the alternator with a regenerative braking system that recaptures energy when decelerating to charge a capacitor, reducing drag on the engine, freeing up to 10 percent more power for actual driving, and boosting the fuel economy a few ticks. But that's not the only reason to hold off on buying a new Mazda6.
The automaker has stated that it's bringing a 2.2-liter twin-turbo diesel model to the North American market later this year, offering better torque than the gasoline model and better fuel efficiency. This is the Mazda6 that I'd be holding out for were it my money on the table.

Invariably, when in conversation with a theist, who are usually quite comfortable discussing their beliefs, I am asked the question about what I am, the assumption being that I am some form of believer. The answer expected is probably methodist, catholic, etc. When I say that I am an atheist, my conversation partner's eyes grow as big and round as moons. It is utterly shocking, not only that I'm an atheist, but that I would freely admit it. Then, almost always, the next question is: What happened?
Theists, by and large, are so immersed in the status quo of theism that they assume everyone shares their belief in God, so naturally, if one doesn't believe in God, something terrible must have happened. He or she must have endured some awful calamity that forced them to abandon their faith.
Of course, I would wager very few of us came to our atheism in such a way. With me, it was a gradual process of questioning, and I like to say, waking up. It was the realization that, simply, I couldn't believe in fairy tales anymore.
My response is usually just that: No, I've had a relatively comfortable life as far as it goes. I just reached a point that I couldn't believe that stuff anymore.
Being open with my non-belief in gods was not something I came to overnight, though I believe I have a natural disposition to be myself, out and open and honest. It is not in my nature to hide. Despite that, we atheists face a great deal of social pressure to stay closeted and to acquiese to the prevailing wisdom that God exists. The cultural default is theism. Atheists are subversives in that context.
That's the upside-down nature of our culture in America. The logical default is treated as the aberration. In other words, no one is born a believer. He or she has to be taught belief. In that sense, atheism is the human default. And that position is logical. I am justified in disbelief of the supernatural until the supernatural is empirically proven to me. I do not believe in gnomes or unicorns, and that belief is justified until the proof for such is given.
vjack made that point when he posted to his atheist revolution blog that a proper response to "what happened?" should be something like this:
I do not believe in gods for the same reason you do not believe in unicorns. You do not have an argument against unicorns; you need no argument. You simply realize that there is insufficient evidence to support their existence and so you do not believe in them. And you are absolutely right to do so.
And I couldn't agree more. We have no argument to make. Ours is the position of default. We have nothing to prove.
But it can be frustrating to live in a culture in which the default is demonized. And that is where, I think, being openly atheist is important. Being closeted gives theists the power to control the conversation, but being out changes the conversation, instantly.
So, all of this was to make that point: If you're not out, consider taking steps to get out. Atheists everywhere benefit when we stand in the open together.
Not long ago, it was socially acceptable in among white people to assume everyone in the room was a racist, as in, racism was the cultural default. That is no longer true.
Not long ago, it was socially acceptable to assume everyone in the room was heterosexual. That is no longer true.
Yet, today, for most people, it is still acceptable to assume that everyone in the room is a theist, and changing that is a modest goal that is realistically achievable. Being out hastens that change.

This was a personal map, made because inspiration struck and to try out a more modern style I've wanted to use for a while
So, Antillia is a phantom island an island that doesn't exist and never has, but still was sighted by sailors and included on maps for a long time, in this case a couple of hundred years. This map is alternate history thingy, where Antillia was real. I found a section of the Atlantic ridge that looked a little like the descriptions of Antillia, and used that for the shape. Then I drew and painted it on watercolor paper, and added the graticule, cities, borders, roads and text using G.Projector, Illustrator and Photoshop.

NEW YORK (AP) — Doctor Chit, the 3-5 favorite, led all the way Thursday, beating Sportswriter by 3 1/4 lengths in the $85,000 Western Larla Stakes for 3-year-olds at Belmont Park.
After losing his debut at Saratoga last year, Doctor Chit has reeled off three straight wins for trainer Todd Pletcher. Javier Castellano was aboard as the colt ran six furlongs in 1:08.90.
Doctor Chit paid $3.50, $2.50 and $2.10. Sportswriter returned $3.60 and $2.50, and Saint of Saints paid $2.60 to show.

A Seattle levy to restore library operations and services was passing easily in initial returns, while a measure to rebuild the King County Youth Services Center was being approved by a more narrow margin.
Both measures need a simple majority to be approved. The library levy had support of 62 percent of voters; the Youth Services Center was being approved by 53 percent.
"I really, really want to thank the voters of Seattle for their generosity," said Seattle Librarian Marcellus Turner. "Everywhere I went over the past few months, the support from the public for their libraries was very strong."
Despite the libraries' popularity, the seven-year, $123 million property-tax levy was controversial because it will fund day-to-day operations rather than one-time needs.

The levy funds will restore service hours, rebuild collections, upgrade computers and maintain buildings neglected after four years of city budget cuts. Next year, library branches that are now closed Sundays will reopen and staff will no longer have to take a weeklong, unpaid furlough. City officials estimated in January that the library would lose an additional $5 million in 2013 because the city is facing another $32 million shortfall in the general-fund budget. But critics of the levy said the general fund is the best statement of city priorities, and that existing library funding should be preserved and other, less-crucial programs cut.
Also being approved was a nine-year, $210 million property-tax measure to rebuild the county's aging Youth Services Center.
"It's still early, but these are very positive results," said County Executive Dow Constantine. "We have great programs in the county, but an awful facility."
In addition to the support of Constantine, the plan to renovate the nine-acre juvenile justice and family services complex near Seattle University has the backing of county Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg, former U.S. Attorney John McKay and all nine County Council members.
The levy would modernize the youth center's courtrooms, offices and detention center, some of which date to 1952.
Opposition came from a group that said money should be put into social services and education for youth and families and not for incarceration.
More money issues await: Voters also will be asked to approve a $120 million King County levy to support an automated fingerprint system and a $290 million Seattle levy to replace the waterfront seawall in the Nov. 6 general election.

Standardized Equipment Program
Maintenance & Repair
All regulators (primary, RASS and alternate air sources), depth gauges, pressure gauges, and BCD inflators must be returned to the SEP for overhaul and/or testing annually. Although equipment service dates are tracked by the NOAA Diver Management System (NDMS), it is the diver's responsibility to be aware of their equipment's maintenance schedule and ensure that their gear is returned to the SEP for servicing prior to its annual service date (whether sent directly or thru their UDS).
The diver will receive an automated message 30 days prior to the date that their equipment is due for service. Arrangements should be made at this time for the return of the gear to the SEP office. If the gear has not been received by the SEP within 14 days of the first message, the diver will receive a second automated reminder. If the equipment is not received at the SEP Office by the service due date, the diver will no longer be authorized to dive until the equipment has been returned for service. Service dates are listed on the diver's equipment inventory page.
When shipping equipment, it should be secured in rigid boxes with sufficient packing material to prevent damage or loss during transit. Tracking numbers should be retained as the diver remains accountable for the equipment until it is received by the SEP. All divers are requested to tag or otherwise identify their equipment.
NOAA Divers are accountable for the SEP gear that has been issued to them. Loss or damaged to their gear should be immediately reported to their UDS and the SEP Office (firstname.lastname@example.com). An inquiry will be conducted by the UDS and reported to the SEP. The NDC Property Review Board will investigate the circumstances surrounding the loss, theft, damage, or destruction of the equipment and determine any employee liability. Divers that lose or damage equipment in the interest of safety will not incur responsibility. Divers found negligent in the loss or damage of gear may be held accountable up to the replacement cost.
Lost or Damaged Equipment
In the case of loss or damage to SEP diving equipment, Standard Equipment Program Review of Property (NF 57-03-72) must be filled out and returned to the Standardized Equipment Program Office. The following documents the procedure for completing and submitting NF 57-03-72:
Step 1: The diver will fill out the applicable portions of the form, including description and serial numbers of the items, and circumstances surrounding the loss of equipment.
Step 2: The UDS or commanding officer must include their findings and sign the designated section.
Step 3: Return the form to SEP coordinator, with damaged equipment if applicable.
Step 4: Findings and recommendations of Board of Review will be completed by the SEP Coordinator.
Step 5: Upon administrative approval from the NDPM, action will be completed.
Returning Equipment
When a diver is transferred, placed on inactive status, or terminated from a unit, it is required that all the equipment issued to the diver be returned immediately to the NDC through their UDS or vessel Divemaster. Equipment should be received by the SEP prior to the permanent change of station, completion of assignment and termination of diving status or employment. Charges will continue to accrue for equipment not returned. The use of SEP equipment by inactive divers is prohibited.
The diver remains accountable for his or her equipment until it is received by the SEP.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
I read your previos question-answer session with the other attorney. You were informed that by continuing to pay, you reaffirmed the debt to the lender. This is an incorrect statement of law. Under 11 U.S.C. §524(c), a debt discharged under Chapter 7 cannot be reaffirmed, execept as part of an affirmation agreement filed with the bankruptcy court prior to discharge.
Therefore, based on your stated facts, you are no longer responsible for your mortgage, and you can literally walk away from the property. You would save the lender a lot in additional costs by offering a deed in lieu, and the lender has nothing to lose by accepting it. So, send them a letter and offer to give it to them. You actually could offer to provide it in exchange for money from them, because processing a foreclosure will cost the lender several thousand dollars.
Note: don't threaten to walk away unless the lender complies with your demands. That would be criminal extortion.
Worth a shot.
Terms and Conditions: By your continuing in this conversation with me, or by your clicking "Accept", you are expressly agreeing to all of the following: (1) our communication is for entertainment purposes only; (2) you are not consulting me in my professional capacity as an attorney; (3) you do not seek to establish an attorney-client relationship with me, nor do I with you; (4) you will not rely on anything I say and you will obtain appropriate legal counsel via a traditional/office consultation with an attorney licensed to practice in the jurisdiction where your legal issue arises (and you may not use our communication to avoid taxpayer penalties imposed by the U.S. Dept. of Treasury); (5) by communicating with me in this public forum you are irrevocably waiving any right to privacy, confidentiality and attorney-client privilege concerning the matters discussed. You further separately declare that any payment made by you is not consideration for this contract, nor offered for any services rendered by me on your behalf, but rather is made in genuine admiration and respect for my desire to help others. If you do not agree with these terms and conditions, then you must advise me immediately.
thank you for very valuable information. does it mean that if i walk away with or without sending them a letter of offering deed in lieu, something additional will go on credit report? either 1) deed offering or 2) public record of foreclosure. in addition to the already discharge? thereby bringing credit score even lower and lowering chances of approval of new home in future.
just as added note, i would go with 1), sounds like would at least not be part of the economic problem if helped out mortgage co., at least not a larger problem if i just walk away.

California Governor Signs Executive Order to Increase Renewable Energy Production
On November 17, 2008, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed Executive Order S-14-08, directing several state agencies to expedite the process of creating renewable generation facilities and proposing to expand California's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS). The Governor's proposed RPS of 33 percent renewable generation by 2020 would build on the current target of producing 20 percent by 2010.
The Executive Order establishes the Renewable Energy Action Team (REAT), a partnership between the California Energy Commission and the state's Department of Fish and Game. The REAT agencies will concurrently review renewable energy projects for approval at the state level in order to streamline the application process. The REAT will also be responsible for identifying strategic locations for renewable energy development. The Executive Order identifies land in the Mojave and Colorado deserts as areas of specific interest for renewable energy and directs the REAT to develop a plan to take advantage of energy resources as well as maintain conservation goals in those regions. The Executive Order also directs the REAT to collaborate with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Bureau of Land Management to take advantage of renewable generation on federal lands.
The current RPS does not apply to publicly-owned utilities, although most have voluntary renewable targets. Governor Schwarzenegger has proposed legislative language to codify the proposed RPS, which would then apply to all of the state's public and private utilities.

News Release: Associated Press
September 2, 2014
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi says the state is getting $300,000 as part of a national settlement with a Cincinnati-based company that allegedly engaged in a kickback scheme with skilled-nursing facilities.
Bondi says the payment will resolve allegations that Omnicare gave improper financial incentives to skilled nursing facilities that selected the company to supply drugs to Medicaid recipients.
The settlement also resolves allegations that the company gave discounts to induce skilled nursing facilities to choose Omnicare as their pharmacy provider.
The company is the nation's largest provider of drugs and pharmacy services to skilled-nursing facilities. It reached a nearly $17 million settlement with 47 states and the federal government.
The state's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit has obtained more than $450 million in settlements and judgments between January 2011 and April.

Family Guy Starring Windows 7 – Old Media Jumps the Shark
Posted on Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 by Carl Dunham Print This Post
Categories - Featured
On November 8, Fox will air a version of Family Guy that is 100% commercial-free. Originally, until calmer heads prevailed, it was to be sponsored by Microsoft as part of a larger deal with Fox to promote Windows 7.
Microsoft is spending a ton of money on the Windows 7 launch. By some accounts, this is a make-or-break moment for them, given the complete failure of Vista to take hold. I'm not so sure about the extreme doom-and-gloom. They are still the "belly button" in the computer (you get one, whether you need it or not), and will be for the foreseeable future. They will be fine.
But what does this say about the current state of television advertising?? Is this somehow like the infamous Happy Days episode in which Fonzie jumps the shark — a stunt move meant to get people talking (you're welcome), or does it reflect a deeper problem with old media? Are we seeing some creative revenue opportunities being exploited in a down market, or is this part of a larger trend? Online ad spending recently overtook TV in the UK, and trends would indicate that this is going to continue. Fewer people are consuming old media, and the way they are consuming it is changing. The Family Guy sponsored show may be more of a reaction to the DVR than the Internet.
Online is clearly making itself felt. Money may not have been flooding into online during the recession, but it certainly hasn't been flowing out. Old media can't say the same – advertisers know that they can measure results and meter spend at a very fine-grained level online. They have an embarrassing amount of data and dynamism to play with in their online campaigns. They are reaching users at the point of focused interest, where they are searching, even PLEADING for commercial information. They are getting them at work, at home, and on their iPhones.
So, yes, online makes better sense for the advertisers, and can be a better experience for consumers. But old media is still around, and may even have a strong future, in a way. It's not clear that turning shows into full-length infomercials (infortainmentercials?) will work, but let's see. It seems to be tweaks to the same old model, rather than trying to understand why online is compelling, and figuring out how to get the old media to acquire some of those advantages.
In fact, it may be Windows 7 itself that starts enabling a lot of this. Hulu, YouTube, iTunes and others are becoming a more interesting way of consuming media, and Windows 7, which built-in DVR functionality, will make time-shifted consumption much easier. Newspapers can regain relevance as eBooks start taking off. There are opportunities for the long-awaited "convergence" to become real.
Suddenly the old media starts looking a lot like the new media. And isn't this always the way these things happen? No "big bang" convergence, driven by revolutionary technology, but a quiet and persistent pressure from producers and consumers to move things to a new, more optimal place.
Sharks beware!

euro crisis to date -- a war that's far from over given this week's latest anxiety about Greece, the unresolved issue of a sovereign Spanish bailout and signs of sharp German economic slowdown.
Long-term investors typically had four main options:
1) Avoid the euro zone altogether -- nigh-on impossible for massive euro-based pension and mutual funds if not the biggest global funds
2) Seek safety internally within the bloc's perceived safest havens, such as German debt.
3) Take a medium-term view of the outcome that allows you to you pick up short-term pricing anomalies and wait for overwhelming policy response.
4) Tactically play the ups and downs.
This year at least, those who even could have avoided the euro zone completely may have had lower blood pressure and a decent year on Wall Street or in emerging markets
so far but they would also have missed some very big euro moves indeed.
Total returns on are up more than 60 percent in Portugal's 10-year government debt, more than 30 percent in Irish equivalents, 23 percent in Italian benchmark bonds, and even up 2 percent for the asset in eye of the current euro storm -- Spanish 10-year paper.
Given the euro is basically little changed against the dollar since January, these would not have needed currency hedges for most overseas funds either.
Investors who stuck to a medium conviction the euro would survive intact, and that policymakers would eventually do all necessary to support it, would have had a relatively good year to date despite all the apocalyptic commentary.
As for the internal safety trade, once again, the anxiety conscious may have been happier with less than 7 percent returns on 10-year German bunds, but that has been less than a third of the 20-percent-plus returns on German equities.
For trend-playing tactical traders? Well, if hedge funds specialising in macro trading strategies like this are any sort of proxy for that, then that was possibly the big one to avoid.
Hedge funds, who typically charge the largest fees, have had another miserable year with average returns of just 4.3 percent -- according to Hedge Fund Research but average macro strategies are actually down 1.3 percent year-to-date.
So what are the lessons for those looking at weeks of fiscal cliff angst stateside? Playing the panics and second-guessing daily trends doesn't appear very fruitful in this environment.
Avoiding U.S. assets altogether is much less of an option, not

We had a security audit done on our external IPs, and the only thing it saw from Zimbra was the following:
Tenable Network Security
Which says that the web server reveals the internal IP in the headers. I had to check to make sure (especially since I upgraded to 5.0.9 right after he did the audit) and got the following response:
I don't really see this as a problem, but I'd change it if I can. If only to make the auditors happy. I saw some references to potentially editing my /opt/zimbra/conf/httpd.conf file, but I try to make as few changes as I can to ZCS's config files by hand.Code:# telnet mail.domain.com 80 Trying 245.23.23.23... Connected to mail.domain.com. Escape character is '^]'. GET / HTTP/1.0 HTTP/1.1 302 Found Content-Length: 0 Location: https://192.168.1.36:443/zimbra/
I'd assume that someone else will see this at some point, and the SOX people will probably want an answer. Is there a way to fix this without hand-editing configs? Not that I won't, just that I don't want to have to add to my list of customizations for every time I upgrade Zimbra if I can avoid it.

Janet Cooke Award: CBS Street Stories Touts France's Socialist Day Care System, Downplays the Costs
All Things French and "Free"
American liberals have a love affair with Europe. America's failure to emulate Europe's all-inclusive social programs regularly earns the network put-down that the U.S. is "the only industrialized nation except South Africa not to have" subsidized day care, paid family leave, or socialized medicine. On the CBS magazine show Street Stories July 2, correspondent Harold Dow promoted France's "free" child care. For one-sided promotion of a socialist system, Dow earned the August Janet Cooke Award.
The host of Street Stories, Ed Bradley, began: "Harold Dow found a place where dependable, affordable child care is available to everyone. You won't find it in the Yellow Pages, but you will find it on the map. Head east and you could be heading in the next direction in American child care."
Dow told a tale of two mothers, the anxious, cost-ridden Tracy Scheinoha of Milwaukee and Nancy Bragard: "She never worries about day care. She doesn't have to. That's because Nancy doesn't live in the United States anymore, she lives in Paris, France." Proclaimed Nancy: "Thank God for French day care. It's more than I would have asked for, for any of my kids."
Dow made his pitch: "Here in France they have created a child care system that would amaze most Americans. Every child in this country, from the richest family down to the poorest, gets a chance at the same high standard of day care, preschool, and health care. Not only is it free, or at low cost to everyone, but the quality is better than what most youngsters get in the United States." Dow also reported: "What you pay is based on your income. So, while the Bragards pay nearly three thousand dollars a year for the Creche [nursery], some families pay slightly more -- but some pay much less -- as little as a few hundred dollars a year."
Dow never told viewers that the top tax rate in France is 56.8 percent. On top of that, employers pay an additional annual premium to the government for the child care system. Why no details on taxes? The story's producer, Tom Berman, told MediaWatch: "The French government wouldn't give us a breakdown of costs. They just don't do it that way. We had our Paris bureau chief, who's been there for 20 years, try to get some numbers, and even he couldn't get them."
So how can CBS claim the system's "free or at low cost to everyone"? Dr. James T. Bennett, an economist at George Mason University and the co-author of the new book Official Lies, recognizes the tactic: "Socialism sells itself with the thought that you never see a bill. It just materializes out of nowhere. As long as the government is paying, the government can just sort of conjure it up. But remember to take a look at your paycheck when the work week's done."
Nonetheless, Dow returned to the notion of a "free" system repeatedly. "Next fall, Benjamin will be old enough to leave the Creche for the next stage of the French government's child care system, the Ecole-Maternelle, or preschool, which is totally free." Dow also interviewed pleased American mother Victoria Aubert, whose daughter also attends a government preschool, and explained: "There's one in virtually every neighborhood in the country, and almost every single three- to five-year-old French child goes -- all day -- all for free."
Dow then promoted the French system to the Scheinohas in Milwaukee: "What if I told you about the French system? A system that provides total care for your children. They have beautiful buildings, they've got trained professionals, doctors that come in. What would you say?"
"Sounds too good to be true," Tracy replied. In the story's sole incidence of skepticism, the Scheinohas turn out to be critical of government. Dow asked: "One of the ways they do it is higher taxes. The French people pay more than Americans do, and French businesses pay much more than U.S. businesses. Would you be willing to pay 20 percent, 30 percent, 40 percent, and even up to 50 percent more by way of taxes, to have that system? Would you be willing to pay that?"
Answered Tracy: "No. I'd have to draw the line somewhere. I'm not getting very much for what I pay now, and I pay a lot in taxes." Her husband, Andy, added: "You can't just take away the money, promise the services, and not deliver, which is what I'd be afraid would happen....I'd like to think that they could, but their track record isn't too good."
Dow may have asked a vague question about taxes, but he didn't report any details of the French system's total costs. American University Professor Barbara Bergmann, a supporter of the French model, suggests a similar system would cost more than $200 billion a year to implement fully in the United States. Dow never factored in the burdens of the subsidized day care system on the French economy. France has had almost no job growth -- civilian employment went from 21.3 million in 1980 to 21.5 million in 1989, while at the same time the United States grew from 99.3 to 117.3 million jobs. Unemployed people are more common under Dow's model system in France, where the unemployment rate is now 11.5 percent.
Why didn't CBS use these numbers? Berman told MediaWatch "We only had ten minutes to tell the whole story. We had enough to do a whole hour on the subject. Is it harder for employers to employ people in France? Absolutely. But the Americans in France think they have a better standard of living than their brothers and sisters in America."
Dow also presented the system as completely uncriticized, bringing Gail Richardson of the French-American Foundation on to fondly remember Hillary Clinton's trip to France in 1989: "Hillary was tremendously impressed by what she saw in France, and she was most of all impressed by the consensus. She looked for some expression of opposition to the programs that she saw, many of which enjoy considerable public support, didn't find it."
But the Socialists just suffered an enormous loss at the polls, losing in 484 of 577 districts. Wouldn't that suggest recent dissatisfaction? Berman responded that "It's not a complaint about the day care system. There are all kinds of debates about the school system after day care and other issues, but no one's complaining about these programs for small children."
A balanced story comparing European-style social programs with the United States would present the negative consequences as well as the positive, and deal frankly with the issue of how much programs cost, both directly and indirectly. But TV news stories often sound more like ten-minute ads for statism than a balanced examinations of the pluses and minuses.

The USA Today story was actually a bit longer than the Associated Press story, so this was not a matter of word count limitations. In the end, it was a matter of which words were used and how the space was allocated. But the New York Times story was longest of the three – more than 1,000 words – and put that additional space to good use.
Once initial treatment for breast cancer is finished, there is a sense of loss of direction for many survivors. There are limited ways to reduce recurrence risk and mortality in the hope of a normal life span. This research adds to the evidence needed to make good decisions based on scientific study, and in particular adds data for decision-making by premenopausal patients.
Price is a significant issue with such a long-term medication and this story covered the issue well.
Our reviewers observed:
Our reviewers would have appreciated a more specific discussion of some of the age-specific issues in the study, such as those highlighted in a statement released by the Young Survival Coalition to members:
Overall, the patient population in this study tended to have low nodal involvement and most participants were over the age of 45 at time of initial diagnosis. 53% of the 10-year group were node negative and 54% of the five-year group were node negative. Only 16% of both groups had four or more nodes involved. Also, only 19% of the 10-year group and 18% of the five-year group were under age 45 at time of diagnosis. In both the five and 10-year group, 89% of study participants were postmenopausal at time of their entry into the ATLAS trial. In the five-year and 10-year groups , 47% and 48% of patients respectively had tumor sizes ranging from 1 to 20 mm (equivalent to 2 cm or under), while 39% and 38% respectively had tumor sizes between 21-50 mm (2 to 5 cm).
On this criterion, the AP story was not as strong as the competing USA Today story, which noted one woman's experience with tamoxifen side effects (severe hot flashes, dry eyes, joint pain, weight gain, dryness "that made sex unbearably painful").
AP only referred to "some troubling side effects" without specifying anything more than endometrial cancer.
The two women with breast cancer – both trained in the evaluation of evidence in the National Breast Cancer Coalition's Project LEAD training – thought the brief reference to harms could have been more powerful with a reference to the statistics. "Patients need the facts," one wrote. Another of their observations: the story could also have avoided weighting opinion by using the phrase "women balk at taking a preventative drug." Making tough choices is one of the tasks of cancer patients.
Unlike the USA Today story, this story mentioned that the study had been published in the Lancet. There were two independent expert perspectives commenting on the evidence in this story – including a quote from an editorial writer in the same journal. Editorialists' perspectives are low-hanging fruit which are often ignored in news stories – something we can never understand.
No disease-mongering was noted.
A strength of the article is its clear statement of sponsorship of the research, including AstraZeneca, which produces a brand of tamoxifen. USA Today didn't mention this in its story. The article also indicated possible conflicts of interest among commentators.
The story adequately discusses and compares alternatives, including aromatase inhibitors Arimidex, Femara, Aromasin.
The article adequately discusses availability.
This story clearly presents the study's importance regarding extended use of tamoxifen . The drug is not new, but the story clearly reports on its usefulness in particular patients.
With multiple sources, it's clear the story did not rely on a news release.

Joseph Brand, a veteran international law partner at Patton Boggs LLP, has closely watched the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act evolve from its hotly debated origins more than 30 years ago to become a statute that he says is now "virtually the law of world.''
Brand has spent much of his career representing clients overseas. In a video interview with Just Anti-Corruption, he recounted how the U.S. international anti-bribery statute became the model for a worldwide network of anti-corruption laws targeting business transactions. "I think this has been a success story,'' he said.
In the United States, extraterritorial laws like the FCPA are being adopted with far less controversy than in 1977, when FCPA proponents had to overcome resistance from lawmakers fearful of giving overseas companies a competitive advantage. It was a period, Brand recalled, when senators like William Proxmire, the gadfly Democrat of Wisconsin, promised that if the law passed, the United States would pressure its trading partners to enact similar statutes.
The law passed. But the effort to persuade other countries to adopt similar statutes took more than two decades.
Brand said that in the years since the passage of the FCPA, extraterritorial laws have become far less controversial in Congress – a measure of the widespread acceptance by both political parties of the concept of exporting American ethical standards overseas, via federal laws which are being enforced with tough civil and criminal penalties.
As an example of how the climate has changed, Brand cited the recently enacted Dodd-Frank financial regulatory law. Among other provisions, Dodd-Frank requires oil, gas and mining industries to disclose to the Securities and Exchange Commission virtually of all their payments, bonuses and fees to foreign governments.
The amendment, all but lost in the sea of regulations adopted in the aftermath of the Wall Street meltdown, was opposed by the affected industries. It stirred little controversy. "Where was the debate on the law?'' asked Brand. "There was none. Many of the extractive industries felt that was not fair play.''
Brand has a wealth of experience in international law. He has traveled to more than 90 countries, representing foreign states and corporate clients in areas like government regulation, finance, trade and governance issues. He is a former vice chairman of the board of George Washington University and is a member of the Board of Trustees of the American University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates.
Brand said he expects the United States will continue to forcefully apply its laws and ethical standards abroad and that American and foreign companies will work hard to comply. Though he said some companies regard the FCPA as "an annoyance and an expense,'' most realize their compliance is the price tag for doing business in the United States, still the world's biggest economy.
But he cautioned that there may come a time when other countries might turn the tables on the United States. "By 2050 China and India will together have one half the world's GDP,'' he said. "You have to ask yourself, have they learned from us about enacting extraterritorial jurisdiction?'' He added, "Will our people and our corporations be happy to march to their drumbeat in 2050? I think the jury is still out on that question."

30 Minute Boot Camp Workout
Hi, friends!
I couldn't wait to get out of work yesterday, because as soon as I did, I picked up this pretty lil' thing at the train station!
My long lost love, Destiny!
Destiny is staying with us for the night while she's in town from Chicago, and I am always SO happy to have her over. To make things fun, we headed out to Desthil, one of my favorite restaurants in Normal, for dinner (the last time I went, I had the bison burger!)
We had a great time trying out a few beers from the microbrewery and eating some dinner. I had the warm salmon and potato salad, which is actually fabulous. It's salmon, bell pepper, and potatoes with a honey mustard type dressing.
So yummy, with fresh ingredients to boot
This morning I have a challenge for you guys – a boot camp challenge!
Equipment: yourself and a medicine ball
Instructions: Complete the above four exercise circuit-style, one after another, each for 25 reps. Then repeat FOUR more times for a total of FIVE times total. Altogether it takes about 30 minutes. Don't forget to warm up, cool down, and streeeettttch!
As always, check with your doctor before beginning any new exercise plan.
1. Corner to corner slammin' burpees: With a medicine ball overhead, slam down on the ground, catch it, and carefully bring it down to the ground to support your weight as you go back into a burpee (jump the feet out to a plank position, jump them back in, and stand up.) Turn to the opposite corner and repeat. That's one rep.
2. Medicine ball speed slams: With a medicine ball over head, brace the abs and slam it down to the ground. As quickly as possible, pick the ball up and repeat.
3. Medicine ball chops w/ a jump: In a sumo squat position, bring the medicine ball to the ground with straight arms. Lift (not swing) the ball up overhead, adding a jump when you're almost to the top. Repeat for a total of 20 times.
4. Tuck jumps: With hands held in front of you, jump up and bring the knees to the chest. Land softly on your feet and repeat.
All right – I'm out of here. It's time to hop on the elliptical for some cardio, and then make breakfast for the house Later, Shane and I are headed to a concert on the river in Peoria to watch the fireworks. It should be so much fun – plus, I can check another item off of my bucket list
Have a good one!!
What's your workout for today?

Hi there. I'm learning the Allegro PCB Editor. I'm trying to change the pin numbers on one of the dip 2 row connectors in the library to match with my connector that should have the all odd numbers (1,3, 5...) on one side and vice versa. Right now, I have to highlight each pin then change the text in the EDIT menu that would take me a while to change them on 86 pins. Can someone help to point out the quick way to change the whole row at one time? Thanks a lot!
There are a few options to change the pin numbers. You can use Layout - renumber pins and pick the optins required in the GUI but these options are based on JEDEC_TYPE standards so the renumbering options required might not be suitable. The next option is to delete the pins and add them back in, The Layout - Pins Options menu (fold out on the right side of the screen) allows full control of adding multiple pins in one go. You can also have full control of the Pin number and increment so you could add two rows of pins 1,3,5 etc first then 2,4,6 etc. Finally you can use File - Export - CSV Pin File, make the changes in Excel then delete the pins in the filename.dra and use File - Import - CSV Pin file and import the modifred version.
You are probably better off using the PCB Design forum for this type of question.
In reply to steve:
Thanks for your response, Steve. I'm using the PCB Designer 16.5 and could not find the CSV option in either Export or Import sub-menu. I'm wondering if I've missed something.
In reply to TK2013:
You would need 16.6 to see these new menu items.

I may be out of turn here, but here goes...
I have noticed that much of the tension around here seems to be due in part to practically everyone posting improperly at least some of the time.
If you wanted to weed out those who are not as sincere, why not make everyone who joins go through a probationary period or at least a "tutorial phase" just to make sure that they know how and what to post. Test 'em. Make sure that they know the guidelines before they join instead of assuming that they know or will read on their own. I know it would be somewhat of a hassle, but the ones who care wouldn't mind a little inconvenience. It would save a lot of trouble in the end- no one could plead ignorance when booted.
just a thought (they are few and far between, so I have to share them quickly! )

The Wii started the trend of wireless controls and movement recognition, the PS3 has its crossplay feature with the PS Vita, and the the Xbox 360 has the ever-popular Kinect. With all these advancements in gaming technology, what do you think would be the next step?
If a new patent is anything to go by, it may be a 3D environment in your own living room. The patent was recently granted to Microsoft, which may mean that the next generation of the company's gaming consoles will be carrying this kind of technology, namely that long-rumored Xbox 720 and its Kinect peripheral.
With this kind of tech, the action will not be limited to just the TV screen, but the whole environment of the game can be projected onto available surfaces of the room as well, creating an even deeper immersion of the player into the game. The real action of course would be happening only on the TV screen, but in certain games such as first-person shooters, you may be able to turn around and see if there's someone sneaking up behind you because of the projection on the wall, or simply interact with the projections, most likely through gestures.
Some say that this kind of immersive gaming may be supported by Microsoft's Project Eyewear virtual reality glasses that would receive information and display 16:9 images.
Of course, this is just speculation, and Microsoft hasn't come out with news of the Xbox 720 or the future of its gaming consoles, but it's always very interesting to know just what the companies are thinking of to make a player's gaming experience even better than before.

Entrepreneurs should cultivate relationships with outsiders who can offer support and advice, even though "mentoring," as it's often called, is typically considered an instrument of corporate career-building. In this insightful article by an entrepreneur who founded a non-profit organization to pair owners of young companies with seasoned business owners, the author advises entrepreneurs to seek help from peers as well as superiors and from several outsiders rather than a single guru.
Barnett Helzberg is so convinced of the value of mentoring, he started a program to benefit up-and-coming entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurs benefit from knowledgeable third-party advice provided by advisors, writes the former chairman of a family-owned diamond business. The author describes his own dealings with informal mentors and the members of his formal advisory board.
A mature business facing altered circumstances might need to bring in a partner rather than just an employee, writes the author, who poses a series of questions for founders to address prior to making what could be a difficult leap.
How do you know when it's time for life after entrepreneurship? Selling the most important asset in your life - the one you've poured heart and soul into - shouldn't be tied to the day Social Security kicks in. It should be a process started three to five years before the final event, as the planning for life after entrepreneurship is equally as important as your first business plan.
When cash flow turned positive and profits started coming in, the co-founder of an Internet start-up sought his advisory board's approval for new expenses. What he got was a barrage of questions: "Where are next year's projections? What's your mission statement?" As the business grew, the board made sure it stayed on track financially, raising prices as well as morale. And when the company was acquired, everybody cashed in.
Clean tech is the topic discussed between Steve Perricone, CEO of waste management and energy company BioFuelBox, and one of his investors, DFJ veteran VC Jennifer Scott Fonstad. In addition to discussing the company's technology, structure, and applications, they also expound on current stimulus dollars for alternative energy systems.
A technology entrepreneur loses his shirt on his first company, regroups and starts a second, and lives to advise others about how to get it right.
Carly Fiorina, CEO of Hewlett Packard (1999-2005), discusses her leadership experience in her journey from the job of a secretary to the leader of one of the biggest technology companies in the world. Fiorina describes ways in which leadership in business and entrepreneurship entails developing an appetite for risk and overcoming the fear of change. Fiorina concludes with a message that leadership is about building capability, collaboration and character.
A helping hand from a beloved family member gave this author a gift more precious than a paycheck: the time and attention she needed to rebuild her career -- and her belief in herself.

When you are buying or selling real estate in Manhattan, it takes an expert. For that reason alone, I recommend Mitchell Hall, a native New Yorker who is well versed in architecture, culture and the diversity of NYC.
Mitchell is the consummate professional licensed associate real estate broker, blogger, webmaster and marketer extraordinaire. The Corcoran Group on the Upper West Side is where you'll find him. He started his own real estate website in 2002 and has been blogging about real estate since 2006.
Having lived in NYC myself, and in real estate for a very short time, I can tell you first hand there is so much to know about Manhattan. Whether you are trying to buy or sell your coop, condo or townhouse apartment, Mitchell is the man "in the know". He will listen to your needs as a buyer and not waste your time running you around the City showing you things in areas you'd never consider living. If he is representing you as a seller, he will price your property correctly, market it right and make it the easiest transition for you as possible.
Last year I had the pleasure of meeting Mitchell Hall and quite a few other ActiveRain members at The Oyster Bar in Grand Central Terminal. There is no doubt in my mind that you would be comfortable working with him no matter what your lifestyle, price point or area of interest would be.
When you are ready to "buy or sell" in Manhattan, contact
Mitchell Hall 347-921-HALL (4255)

The governments move to allow FDI in multi-brand retail got a formal stamp of approval in the Lok Sabha Wednesday as the UPA convincingly voted out the opposition motion against the policy, with decisive help from the SP and BSP who walked out of the house after speaking against the policy decision.
The motion seeking withdrawal of the executive decision allowing FDI in multi-brand retail, moved by the leader of opposition Sushma Swaraj, was defeated by a margin of 35 votes. Of the total 471 votes cast, the UPA managed 253 votes against the 218 of the opposition that included the BJP, Left, BJD and TRS.
A second vote on a FEMA amendment notification moved by Trinamool MP Saugata Roy was also defeated with the government getting 254 votes against 224 by the opposition.
However, the tougher task before the government now is the debate beginning in the Rajya Sabha Thursday. The numbers are not clearly in favour of the UPA in the upper house even if the SP and BSP abstain.
The division in the Lok Sabha was along expected lines, as demonstrated by the tenor of the debate over the last two days in which both sides tore into each others arguments for and against FDI in multi-brand retail. Even the positions of the SP and BSP did not come as a surprise, given that there had been enough indications with government managers aggressively wooing them. SP leader Mulayam Singh Yadav and BSP leader Dara Singh had strongly attacked the FDI decision but when it came to voting, the two parties walked out of the house.
Replying to the debate, Commerce minister Anand Sharma rebutted the opposition contention that the government had failed to build a consensus among all stakeholders that included political parties and state governments on the subject.
In a point by point rebuttal, Sharma listed out letters that were written to political parties as well as the number of meetings held at the official level by the government with farmers organisations and others. He said 11 state governments out of 21 had strongly endorsed allowing FDI in multi-brand retail, which had caused the government to push the decision.
Contesting the victory of the government, Swaraj interpreted the debate as a clear indication that the sense of the house was against FDI in multi-brand retail. She said that of the 18 parties that participated in the debate, only four - Congress, NCP,

Happy 9/02/10: Looking Back At Beverly Hills 90210
By Kelly West 6 years ago comments
As it is officially 9/02/10, I felt there could be no better time for me to admit that I was and am a fan of Beverly Hills, 90210. Ive seen every episode of the original series and since Im confessing things, Ill go a step further and admit that I TiVo the reruns on the SOAP network and watch them when the mood strikes, which lately is usually right around when I get home from work and am ready to let my brain relax to a mushy state for a little while.
Im not here to argue that Beverly Hills, 90210 was the best show of the 90s or even among the greatest drama series. I dont watch the remake on The CW. Ive long-since outgrown this kind of soapy drama, for the most part. But watching Beverly Hills, 90210 now is like digging out my big book of CDs or coming across an old cassette mix-tape (and wishing I had something to play it on). Every episode seems to trigger associations with wherever I was in my life when I first watched it. Much like with music, if I associate White Zombies Astro Creep-2000 album with senior year of high school, then Brenda and Dylans very special Spring Dance episode automatically makes me think of seventh grade, when I watched intently and wondered if, OMG (except back then we said things in words, not letters), was it really going to 'happen' for Brenda and Dylan?! Their love is forever!!!
Since I just dated myself, theres no sense holding back now. I was in seventh grade when Beverly Hills, 90210 premiered. The series ended in 2000, the same year I graduated college. 90210 was around for the full duration of my adolescence, and I watched from beginning to end.
Could I relate to the characters? No. None of them. At all. I didnt act like them, talk like them, dress like them or look like them, now would I ever. They werent a reflection of my life in any way. That didnt matter though. The appreciation I had for the series was never about reality. It was all about the drama. It was about the Brenda-Dylan-Kelly love triangle. It was about Brandons political aspirations and Donna saving herself until marriage (or college graduation, whichever came first). It was about Davids ever-budding music career and Steves latest scheme to get rich(er). It was about heartbreak and scandal and one-hit-wonder musical guest appearances. For better or worse, I stuck with the series and there could be no better day than today to admit that I still enjoy it to some extent, mostly for nostalgic reasons.
In celebration of 9/02/10, here are a few random things Ive noticed while revisiting the series in reruns over the years.
1. High School Took Longer Than Usual
Graduating presented its own problem for some of the characters Steve almost didnt graduate after getting busted for trying to change his grades. And Donna was nearly expelled for being plastered at the prom. Thanks to the passionate students at West Bev, who chanted Donna Martin Graduates loudly (and angrily protested dress codes), Donna was permitted to graduate.
2. Kelly And Dylan Had It The Worst
3. The Buffy-90210 Connection
4. Before They Were Famous
5. The Show Was Never Quite The Same Without Brenda
