Olympic HistoryEdit
Russia has competed at the modern Olympic Games on many occasions, but as different nations in its history. As the Russian Empire, the nation first competed at the 1900 Games, and returned again in 1908 and 1912. After the Russian revolution in 1917, and the subsequent establishment of the Soviet Union in 1922, it would be forty years until Russian athletes once again competed at the Olympics, as part of the Soviet Union at the 1952 Summer Olympics. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia competed as part of the Unified Team in 1992, and finally returned once again as Russia at the 1994 Winter Olympics.
The Soviet Union hosted the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, and Russia will host the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
Russian athletes have won a total of 324 medals (316 since 1994) at the Summer Olympic Games and another 76 at the Winter Olympic Games. Over the most recent eight Games (since 1994), Russia's 392 total medals, including 141 gold medals, are second only to the United States (with 489 and 183, respectively).
The Russian Olympic Committee was created in 1991 and recognized in 1993.
In 2014 as the host country russia was has the Largest olympic team to compete.

Simulation for Control: Tool or Toy?
Powered by lower complexity and pricing, process simulation packages are ready to do more than assist in design and training
Computer-based process simulations have been in routine use for more than 30 years for the design of new plant equipment and also for training. But they are rarely used for the design of control schemes or for the tuning and testing of controllers.
It is not always possible or useful to perform all the necessary studies and tests for tuning and testing on a live process. Therefore, simulations could be particularly handy in these cases.
Process designers were among the first intensive users of these tools. With them, process designers can carry out their work much faster and more easily, as well as study many more different situations and cases. However, these simulations in most cases still are static and not dynamic.
More recently, increasingly dynamic simulators have been developed, mainly for pre-startup training of operators when new equipment or even an entire new plant is installed. Some of them are quite complex and expensive, up to several million dollars. But they easily pay back the investment by enabling the smoother start up of new equipment or a plant, or to bring them to full capacity more quickly.
Here and there, engineers also tried to use such simulators for the development of new controls. In principle, they should offer the same benefits they do in design and training, namely the ability to look at more different scenarios and solutions or simply to save time. But so far they have not become a standard tool for control engineers.
One reason is that until a few years back there were basically only two types of dynamic simulation tools around. Some were large packages that allowed very realistic models but were much too complex, expensive, and difficult to be used in daily life. At the other end of the spectrum were numerous tools that were nearly academic in their simplicity. They were easy to use but they lacked the needed coverage of real-life situations, such as sticking valves, etc.
Recently, however, several more compact and relatively inexpensive packages have arrived on the market that show great promise. Let us take a look at three quite different but reasonably typical cases to see if we could use such tools today in the context of process control.
Distilling Trainer Knowledge
Some time back, I was called by an oil refinery to help develop several product quality controls for the distillation towers of its delayed coker unit. It quickly became apparent that because of the process dynamics the standard PID controller was not usable, and that model-based predictive control had to be applied. As the name implies, this technology is based on a mathematical description of the process behavior. It requires therefore quantitative knowledge of the static and dynamic effects as represented, for example, by the process parameters.
Normally, it is not too difficult to carry out the necessary tests on a distillation tower. But here the situation was different. The unit used several drums to store the coke. Whenever one particular drum was full, the coke was routed into the next one, and so on. These switches happened every few hours and caused a tremendous upset for the plant because the new drum had to be made oxygen-free with steam, heated up, etc.
The consequence of this situation was that the time span during which the plant was running smooth and steady was never long enough to conduct a meaningful test. This of course created a dilemma, because we definitely needed the process parameters.
In checking out the alternatives, we found the refinery still had in the training center a well-kept dynamic simulator, which had been used for pre-startup training of the operators. We hoped we could use it for our test work. Some checks proved that its behavior was realistic enough. Luckily, this simulation even gave us the possibility to disable the coke switching procedure so we could study the behavior of the distillation towers. In the end, all the necessary test were done on the simulator, all the needed information was obtained in a short time, and the controls could be developed and tuned. The simulator helped to overcome an unusual problem and allowed us to finally make a significant improvement in the operation of the unit.
Unfortunately, in other cases training simulators turned out to be not usable. The main reason was, after the end of the pre-startup operator training, there was no person assigned to keep them up to date. They were not a credible representation of the process any more. A real pity, because they were not only useless for control purposes but also for training of new operators. The lesson is: If such a simulator is built, then it should be properly maintained and also used actively for control development.
'Simple' Level Control
The second example has to do with a much less complicated situation. Level control is in principle quite easy and simple, but level problems can have significant negative effects on other, downstream parts of the plant.
In almost all cases, the standard PI controller is used for level control. Normally, the tuning is not calculated based on the process parameters with some suitable methods but simply found by trial and error.
This implies there are several tests with the controller necessary to find the proper settings. These tests are almost exclusively setpoint step-tests, because this is the only test that can be applied under normal conditions. It is certainly not acceptable to create a disturbance in the plant just to tune a single, simple PI controller.
But these setpoint tests do not give us the correct picture, because the setpoint of a level controller is practically never changed. The task of the controller is to deal with disturbances, a situation that typically cannot be tested during the tuning effort. We are thus tuning the controller for the wrong task.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Three men told police they were playing video games and hanging out Saturday when they heard a knock at the door.
One of the men inside told officers he looked outside and saw a woman. According to the report, "It looked like a girl he knew, so he opened the door... after opening that door the girl was gone."
Instead, two armed men wearing masks pushed their way in. They told police "the suspects entered the residence and began striking both victims in the head with a silver handgun."
Police say one suspect went upstairs and struck a third man in the back, then said, "Give it up."
All three of the men said they were injured, although only one had to go to the hospital. The robbers ran away, but according to the report, didn't take anything.
"If they have weapons and you don't, the best thing you should do is comply with the demands of the robbers," said Channel 4 crime analyst Ken Jefferson. "One, they don't want to stay there very long. Two, they don't want you to stare them down and give a description to police. Three, they're in there for a specific purpose. Most home invasions the bad guy generally knows what or who is on the other side."
Jefferson says if you hear a knock at your door, take a peak out your window first. If you're uncomfortable, you can always call police and have them check things out.
No one has been arrested yet and there is no good description of the robbers because they were wearing masks.

Conservatives' bogus attacks on Obama's appeal to minorities: "Race card," "Southern Strategy," "racist"
Research ››› ››› TERRY KREPEL
After President Obama released a video message highlighting 2010 efforts to turn out the vote among minorities, right-wing media responded with inflammatory rhetoric, including claims that Obama is playing the "race card." Those media figures have ignored that Republicans have issued similar appeals to minority voters.
Obama's 2010 election strategy includes getting young people, women, minorities out to vote
Obama: "[M]ake sure that the young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and women" vote. From President Obama's April 23 videotaped appeal to his supporters outlining Democratic Party strategy for the 2010 elections:
In 2010, it will be up to each of you to ask folks like Claudia to stay involved, and to explain why this year the stakes are higher than ever. It will be up to each of you to make sure that the young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and women who powered our victory in 2008 stand together once again.
Conservative media's inflamed reaction: Strategy "disses white guys," shows Obama "regime at its racist best"
Drudge: "Obama plays race card." The Drudge Report linked to an article about the video with the headline, "Obama plays race card: Rallies blacks, Latinos for '10 upset." Drudge's headline was echoed by conservative blogs such as Gateway Pundit and The Daily Caller.
Ingraham: Obama "goes to the race card." On the April 26 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, guest host Laura Ingraham asked of the video, "What's with the racially charged rallying cry?" adding that it shows Obama "doesn't have any other cards to throw down so he goes to the race card." Guest Mary Katharine Ham similarly claimed that Obama is making a "race-based pitch to his voters."
Limbaugh: "The regime at its racist best." Rush Limbaugh said of the video on his April 26 radio show: "This is the regime at its racist best. What's the regime doing? Asking blacks and Latinos to join him in a fight. What is a campaign if not a fight? He's asking young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and women to reconnect. To fight who? Who's this fight against? ... We've never had a president like this, who has purposely come to divide people. But he has, and he is. With that video, seeking to reconnect young people, African-Americans, Latinos, and other women for 2010. Against who?"
FoxNews.com: Obama "left white, middle-age male voters in his rear-view mirror." In an April 26 article, FoxNews.com stated that "President Obama left white, middle-age male voters in his rear-view mirror Monday in launching his first midterm election pitch, calling on "young people, African Americans, Latinos and women" to deliver for Democrats in November."
Wash. Times' Pruden: "Obama wants to join the sordid ranks of the race hustlers." Washington Times editor emeritus Wesley Pruden wrote in his April 27 column that "Race-baiting never goes out of style," adding: "Barack Obama wants to join the sordid ranks of the race hustlers, like the Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, if not necessarily the race baiters. Maybe there's only a small distinction between hustling and baiting, but once the toxic stuff is let loose, it doesn't matter what you call it."
Wash. Examiner: "Obama disses white guys." The front page of the April 27 edition of the Washington Examiner carried the headline "Obama disses white guys: Rallies blacks, Latinos, women."
Fox's Gutfield: "Not since third grade basketball have I ever felt so left out." Fox News host Greg Gutfield wrote in an April 27 Big Hollywood post:
He knows he has the black vote, for political and sentimental reasons. Young people are green enough dismiss the debate between big and small government, so Obama can get 'em too. Women - primarily those shielded from conservativism through an intense combo of psychotherapy, grad school deployment, self help books and dating wusses -could end up in O's pocket too.
That leaves Latinos -- who the President believes he'll win, once he drops the "A" bomb. I.e. Amnesty.
And who's left? White dopes like me.
See, in the post-racial world, it's Obama who sees race. He looks at me, and sees someone he can't win over.
But still, I feel Obama looks at me, and just sees an AWG, or "angry white guy." Which is why I'm not on his list.
Not since third grade basketball have I ever felt so left out.
Actually, this is worse. Back then, I was picked last. Now I'm not even on the team.
Carlson compares video to "Nixon's Southern Strategy." On the April 27 edition of Fox News' Special Report, contributor Tucker Carlson said: "So how is this different substantially from Nixon's Southern Strategy? What he's doing is, saying, 'You have reason to fear on racial grounds, therefore vote for me.' I think he is using racial anxiety for political gain."
Contrary to conservative media outrage, Republicans have also appealed to minorities
Steele, Gingrich have called for GOP outreach to minority voters. As Media Matters for America has detailed, Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele told The Washington Times in February 2009 that he planned to specifically target Hispanic and black voters as part of a new "urban-suburban hip hop" outreach program, saying, "We need messengers to really capture that region - young, Hispanic, black, a cross section ... We want to convey that the modern-day GOP looks like the conservative party that stands on principles. But we want to apply them to urban-surburban hip-hop settings." Similarly, at the June 2009 Senate House GOP Fundraising Dinner, Gingrich urged Republicans to "reach out to African Americans, to Koreans, to Vietnamese, to Chinese, to Indians, to Latinos."
Sargent: RNC adopts "Rush Limbaugh/Matt Drudge line" over Steele's minority outreach. In an April 28 blog post, The Plum Line's Greg Sargent noted that the Republican Party's description of Obama's remark as "an appeal based on class warfare and race" comes in the wake of Steele's April 19 statement that Republicans "haven't done a very good job" of giving African-Americans a reason to vote for them and "have lost sight of the historic, integral link between the party and African-Americans." Sargent added: "Now the RNC is attacking Obama for minority outreach. In so doing, the RNC is essentially adopting the Rush Limbaugh/Matt Drudge line over Steele's previous call for more racial sensitivity."
Republican strategist, Fox host also counter line of attack
Republican Blakeman: Obama "not being divisive at all." On the April 26 edition of Fox News' America Live, former Bush administration official Brad Blakeman responded to host Megyn Kelly's asking if Obama was "playing the race card" by saying, "I say Republicans should do exactly the same thing. The president was not being divisive at all; he was stating the obvious. ... So I don't think the president was being racist at all."
Fox's Smith: Conservatives "getting all weird" about Obama "appealing to his base." On the April 27 edition of Fox News' Studio B, host Shepard Smith pointed out that Obama is "appealing to his base, like politicians always do," adding, "It's hilarious to me that people are all kind of weirded out by the fact that a politician is appealing to his base in an election. I mean, what's wrong with them?" Smith also said, "The right's getting all weird about this, though, isn't it?"

Sarasota artist Virginia Hoffman is getting ready to pick up fellow photographer Matt Allison from his home in the Village of the Arts, in Bradenton, for a photo excursion off the back roads of Parrish.
In preparation for the day trip, the 57-year-old free spirit has just made room in her silver SUV for camera equipment. She unloaded frames, canvases and even a plastic, glow-in-the-dark skeleton into her yellow studio off Sixth Street.
About two times a month, she and members of a group of about six area photographers go on an urban exploration of abandoned ruins found throughout Florida's back country. As a memento, Hoffman pulled the Halloween door-hanger from her last adventure. Most the time, when she comes across abandoned household items, they pose as unintentional still lifes for her camera. She doesn't touch them.
"Generally, I have a rule of not being sacrilegious to a site, but I couldn't help myself," she says.
The group — which consists of Hoffman, Allison, Salvatore Brancifort, Brian Braun, Chris Thibaut and Richard Porter — has visited an abandoned go-cart track covered in artful graffiti, a ghost town-like strip of a small community's Main Street and a deteriorating Florida cracker house full of abandoned belongings, left behind as if the owner left to run an errand and never returned home.
The group calls itself the Pinhole Wizards, which is a name Porter came up with based on a pinhole camera — considered the simplest form in photography.
The Pinhole Wizards met on Facebook a little more than a year ago. They built a relationship from a shared interest of photography. A forum-like dialogue started via posting comments on each other's professional work, and group members started proposing day trips.
Some days, there are three of them; other days the whole gang adventures out. Today, it's just Hoffman and Allison, and they're heading to one of their secret "honey holes," a coveted gem for fine-art photography.
"You never know where you're going to find one, but they're around," she says. Usually it's by word-of-mouth, a little Google-mapping or stumbling across something while exploring back roads. Within 10 minutes of saying this, she passes a collapsing trailer that looks as if it's melting into the side of an oak tree.
"We've got to come back to this baby," Hoffman says.
The duo is headed to an isolated trestle bridge located near the train restoration yard for the Florida Train Museum. This will be the second time they've been to the location. On their first visit, while talking with some of the volunteers at the train yard, they learned the land, which the Robbins family owned more than 100 years ago, housed a sawmill and lumber company that shipped timber via trains to South America.
"It's good we've got clouds today," she says. "The last time we came here I thought they were going to have to carry me out of the woods."
The last time four of them visited, it was early August. Their excitement was too prominent to think about the heat — until they began exploring under the relentless sun. Coincidentally, it was the hottest day of the year. Hoffman has vivid memories of being slumped over, near heat exhaustion, with a fluttering butterfly that kept landing near her.
Today is different. Hoffman is excited for the cooler weather and a better photo opportunity. She and Allison stand below the red rusting bridge at a bend in the water. They plant their tripods a few feet from each other. For the most part, the bridge has been left to its natural aging process and is overgrown with fauna and Spanish moss. A rope swing on the opposite side of the bank is the only reminder that civilization is nearby. Hoodlums haven't mangled the dilapidated bridge — yet.
Hoffman hates it when they get to what could have been a beautiful site and find it's littered with broken glass and profane, spray paint — it happens any time teenagers catch wind of these places. Though, there are a couple of empty beer cans around, the bridge has remained a "sacred" place. The duo decides that next time they will bring a garbage bag.
Hoffman and Allison like spots like this.
The Pinhole Wizards are selective about whom gets let in on the coordinates of the secret spots as a way to protect them from being vandalized or disrespected.
Hoffman hopes someone will restore the bridge, not to what it was like when it was brand new, but in a way that preserves what it looks like now into the future. She thinks it'd be great if they restored the bridge and turned the area into a public park. Allison believes there was a marker that signified the bridge's age, but nothing tells its history now.
"There are so many places that are gone now," Allison says. Hoffman nods her head in agreement.
It takes both photographers time to set up their cameras, and both have a separate approach: Allison uses an infrared filter and Hoffman uses a series of neutral density filters.
Hoffman starts to let loose; she's making excited sounds.
"You're like a kid when you come out here, Virginia," Allison says.
When she finally has her camera set up and her 30-second and minute-long exposures start clicking, an occasional, "Oh, sexy," or "That's sexy" is whispered excitedly throughout the long process.
"We are capturing the best of Old Florida in how it exists today and expressing it through our mind's eye as photographers," says Hoffman.
She explains that each photographer can photograph the same subject, a few feet apart in the same lighting, and have vastly different results.
When the group began producing and displaying their images on Facebook, Hoffman felt the results spoke volumes. They needed to be shared with a greater population. She encouraged the rest of the group to create an exhibit with the results of its photo safaris. The month-long exhibit opens March 1, at the Historic Chidsey Library Building.
Hoffman hopes when people see the photos they will stimulate the same response she has to the preservation of such relics of the boom and bust of Florida; historical places falling to the wayside.
"Besides public art, historical preservation is the most important thing a community can do," she says.
'Florida in Context'
Fine-art photography exhibit featuring Virginia Hoffman, Matt Allison, Salvatore Brancifort, Brian Braun, Chris Thibaut and Richard Porter.
When: Opening reception takes place 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 1. The exhibit runs through March 31.
Where: Historic Chidsey Library Building, 701 N. Tamiami Trail
Cost: Free admission. A portion of sales will benefit Friends of Sarasota County History Center.

text: The froth in stock markets continued last week, which would normally suggest that investors be more cautious. The equal-weighted Nasdaq index rose nearly 1% on the week, adding to the 21.5% year-to-date gains as measured by the PowerShares ETF (QQQE). The S&P 500 performed even better, up 2.16% on the week and is up 17.75% in 2013. [More ideas: 4 Stocks Reporting This Week Undervalued by The Graham Number] The likely dangers that could lie ahead for investors will be companies reporting quarterly earnings this week. Enterprise Software Plays Already up 50% in 2013, Hewlett Packard (HPQ) could move higher if the company reports faster than expected progress in its turnaround. Even if shares do not rally, investors should look at HP as a long term investment idea. HP needs to shed losing assets, reduce operational costs, and grow sales in enterprise software. HP reportedly wanted to sell its Autonomy, a unit it overpaid for, to SAP, but SAP was not interested. HP paid $11.1 billion for Autonomy in 2011, only to write down the majority value in the company. Despite the drag from Autonomy, the unit is strategically important for HP, as Big Data is an area that is growing rapidly. PC Sales should be expected to be weak for HP. When Dell reported quarterly results, PC sales, which accounts for 49% of total sales, dropped by 2%, while notebook sales declined 16%. HP Reports results on Wednesday, May 22 2013. In the service cloud space, Salesforce.com (CRM) will report results on Thursday, May 23. An analyst at Wedbush wrote a glowing report on the company ahead of the report, citing higher sales, potential for sales to large accounts, and sales discounts limited to the low-end. Short selling volume is 9.1% of float while shares are hovering near a 52-week high. In late April, Salesforce.com launched Social.com. The solution is touted as integrating social media advertising and monitoring.

Thousands of film workers gather in North Vancouver to discuss future of industry
Thousands of B.C. film workers filled North Shore Studios Tuesday evening to discuss plans to help save the industry that representatives say is facing rising unemployment.
At the centre of the town hall meeting in North Vancouver was a call for B.C. to entice more film and television productions back to the province as higher tax incentives increasingly draw studios to Ontario and Quebec.
"Unfortunately, one of the reasons we are gathered tonight is that it's been pretty quiet here in B.C. lately—uncomfortably quiet," Jackson Davies, the vice-president of the Union of B.C. Performers, told a standing-room only crowd at Stage 7, and an overflow crowd watching by live feed from Stage 1.
A social media campaign was launched this month to give film workers an avenue to share their views on the state of the local motion picture industry. A Facebook page called Save B.C. Film has drawn more than 4,800 likes, and a petition calling for B.C. to change its tax incentives has surpassed 24,000 signatures.
Wayne Bennett, a film producer and organizer of the social media campaign, said the site was set up after close to 800 posts on Premier Christy Clark's Facebook page from unemployed B.C. film workers disappeared.
"That 24,000 on that petition is a number large enough to show that we cannot be ignored, and we're not going to be ignored, and the politicians need to hear us and need to recognize that we matter," said Bennett to cheers from the crowd.
Peter Leitch, the chair of the Motion Picture Production Industry Association of British Columbia, which organized the town hall meeting, said the industry is faced with "what looks like a pretty scary 2013".
He noted that Ontario and Quebec have both seen an increase in production and employment, while B.C. has faced "empty sound stages [and] growing unemployment".
Cheryl Nex, the vice-chair of the MPPIA and president of Entertainment Partners Canada, said she's predicting employment rates will be down at least 40 percent from last year in the first quarter of 2013.
The MPPIA is calling for increased tax incentives to allow B.C.'s production industry to be competitive with Ontario and Quebec, and for a manufacturing exemption on the provincial sales tax, which will return in April.
"Ontario and Quebec have taken advantage of their larger incentives to build more infrastructure and to build on their human capital," said Leitch. "This additional capacity is now a real threat we are facing in 2013, and that is why it is essential that we had this meeting now and are becoming vocal now. If we lose production, we will lose infrastructure. It will not return."
Leitch said the organization has a report in the works to outline the economic benefits generated from the production industry in B.C. It also launched a social media campaign Tuesday night intended to highlight the value and contributions of the industry, and the stories of people who work in the creative sector.
"We need to tell our story," said Garin Josey, an organizer of the new Facebook and Twitter campaign We Create BC. "The richer our story, the more voices that support it, the more we can demonstrate what is truly at stake here, and the better understood our contribution and future potential will be."
According to Nex, 25,000 people are employed in B.C.'s production industry, and collectively contribute $1.8 billion to the annual economy in B.C. About 85,000 people are employed in the province's creative industries.
Nex noted that in Ontario, production companies receive a 25 percent tax incentive on every dollar spent, compared to a 33 percent tax credit offered in B.C. for each dollar spent on local labour. She indicated once the PST returns to B.C., that difference will translate to a 12 to 13 percent gap.
"That is a very powerful number and a very meaningful number when you look at the U.S. studio decision-makers and they say where am I going to take this production?" she said in an interview. "And when they can take it to Ontario and have a 12 to 13 percent savings effectively over coming to British Columbia, it's meaningful."
Producer and production manager Warren Carr said last year translated to a "four-month year" for him.
"I had one picture go to Toronto, two pictures go to Louisiana, and one to North Carolina—like, $265 million worth of production, because it was just a better price for them over there," he told the Straight.
He added the industry generates "a stunning amount" of revenue for local businesses.
"I did a movie not that long ago where we did a vendor count—1,100 vendors we did business with, on one movie," he noted. "That's in everything from fiberglass to food."
B.C. NDP Leader Adrian Dix told reporters outside the town hall meeting that he is meeting with producers at film studios in Los Angeles this week to hear their perspectives on what's required to sustain the sector.
"We cannot allow short-term considerations in other provinces to permanently damage an industry that's so valuable to British Columbia," he said. "That would not happen in other industries. It would not happen in forestry, it would not happen in mining, it cannot happen in film and television and the creative industries."
Leitch noted that industry representatives met with Bill Bennett, the B.C. minister responsible for film, just before the town hall meeting, and have also met with B.C.'s premier and finance minister on the issue.

What is the NDP's policy here? I heard that Adrian Dix was at last night's town hall - anybody speak with him? It's patently obvious that the BC Liberals are not interested in supporting BC's creative sector (but is willing to support loggers, and now weirdly enough Indian film awards to the tune of $11-million???), so I urge people reading this forum to make Saving BC Film an election issue in May!

The 33% in labour is for the union shows in Tv and Film. They certainly do not apply at all to commercials, editorial, or anyone else.

Ontario has a dedicated government office to facilitate and liason with all t.v. and film productions.
The current B.C. government appears to not want good paying employment for it's populace.

What more do you want ? "Nex noted that in Ontario, production companies receive a 25 percent tax incentive on every dollar spent, compared to a 33 percent tax credit offered in B.C. " ....... Ontario also has HST.

People tend to forget that the only reason BC has a Film Industry is because of these Tax Credits. 20 Years ago BC was giving better rates to Film producers and Ontario went from #1 to #2 for productions in Canada. What happened to all these workers in Toronto when they lost that business? Did we feel sorry for them? No we were happy to take their jobs. In fact many of thoes workers moved to BC. And now if the BC Goverment matches or goes below the Ont. rate does Ont. go even lower. The film industry is raking in the profits on the backs of BC tax payers. There comes a time when too much is too much. In a time when many jobs are being lost. Teachers, Nurses and other industries are having wage freezes and roll backs should not this industry do the same. What are these Unions, Producers and business that rely on this industry doing to make themselves more competive?
Remember the Film industry is big business, should the goverment give money to big business? And big American business at that.

funny thing Adrian Dix was there when he stated on 1130 radio that the NDP wouldn't be able to help either unless the books were balanced, when has that ever happened and yet it is the new government propaganda coming from both sides of the floor. when we are losing thousands of jobs and 1.8 billion dollars into the provincial economy someone in Victoria better be listening. promising one Bollywood film made in Vancouver as a trade off for 12 million dollars worth of our money to sponsor the Award Show in Vancouver was a strange Christy Clark excuse going to use BC workers. What percentage of 25 thousand unemployed will that help and for how long?

The Big Players in BC Production are American owned. Best place for government in any Private business is to stay out, and let market condition select. Think future as well, any new Production company, looking at the cost of living in Vancouver would never set up shop in BC.

When it comes to the BC Liberals, money talks. Otherwise your just a "lobby group" as Crusty once described parents who petitioned her.
The wealth of corporations is what BC Liberals respond to. A liaison with the film industry sounds too much like supporting unions and certainly that would never do.
Sorry but you are out of luck. Please just vote them out.

Barry W. you state "Teachers, Nurses and other industries are having wage freezes and roll backs should not this industry do the same. "
We have. We have taken huge wage cuts. I have personally had my rate go down over 33% and what was a good living has become not enough to live on. Keep in mind, we only work part of the year. We have weeks between shows where we are either looking for the next show to work on or waiting for it to start. When you average out my income now over the year... I am making far less than the average wage. My lifestyle, which was not lavish by any stretch of the imagination before, has been drastically reduced and I live very frugally. We aren't talkind about rich producers here. We're talking about BC taxpayers and that includes the myriad businesses that rely on film for a huge part of their bottom line. Look at it this way... I bake you a pie. I tell you I will bring you one regularly andall i ask for is 1/8 of it back... just a small slice. You agree and we do that once a week for years. Then, one week I bring you a pie and ask for you to increase it to 1/6 of it back to me from now. You refuse telling me I am being too greedy. What do I do? I take my pie away with me to someone who is willing to give me back a slightly bigger portion than you are. Now you have no pies coming to you once a week. Simplistic but basically that is EXACTLY what this scenario is.

A CANDLELIT vigil, a floral canalside display and the planting of one million poppies will feature in Burnley Council's programme to mark 100 years since the beginning of the First World War.
All 17 public war memorials in the borough will be cleaned and re-lettered - at a cost of £25,000 - as part of the commemorations.
The series of events, which will bear the theme 'We Will Remember Them', will culminate in candlelit processions on August 4, the date in 1914 when Britain declared war on Germany.
Council leader Julie Cooper said the borough had 'a stronger link than many others to the conflict'.
The Great War claimed the lives of 4,212 men and one woman from Burnley and Padiham.
Coun Cooper said: "Not only did that have a massive and dramatic impact on their families, it also affected the social fabric of the towns.
"Our borough has always had strong links to the Armed Forces and we have a moral duty to remember those who have fallen, not only in the First World War, but also in conflicts since then across the world.
"We're determined to make sure that people of all ages have the opportunity to find out more about their borough's contribution in the 1914-18 conflict and to remember those thousands of men who paid the ultimate sacrifice."
A special event, including a military vehicle show, a parade, and drill displays, will be held in Burnley town centre on June 29.
The poppy seeds will be planted in Towneley Park, while the floral display will become a feature on the embankment of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, along The Straight Mile opposite the bus station.
A leaflet detailing all events has been produced by the council and can be viewed on the authority's website.
In January, the council revealed that wooden crosses bearing the names of those from the borough who lost their lives in the conflict would be planted by schoolchildren in Towneley Park and Padiham Memorial Park.
Further details have been released after consultation with groups who are signed up to the town's Armed Forces Covenant.

Great so r we all gunna go through a recall here soon?
Two out of millions and millions might not be enough to constitute a recall, yet anyway.
I saw a number of comments arguing back and forth about the devices legitimacy. To me it appears to be a legitimate iPhone, with a hideous case, and a screen protector all sorts of messed up from the fire.
I'm sure all electronics in existence have had a couple reported incidences of combustion. The iPhone is just a well-known product that it gets known when it happens. Then again what do I know, lol. There might be plenty of products that don't spontaneously combust. It hasn't happened to me yet so I'm happy.
Two in the same week. Hmmm
jailbroken one? =D, aleast apple would say that.
hmmm... seems like a copycat to me...
Another big difference is this "Mota unplugged the iPhone from the wall" This wasn't like the phone just randomly exploded. It was charging, and from a wall outlet at that. While the charger and battery circuits/software are made to deal with current fluctuation i've come to find if you look into the numbers most phones that explode while charging are found to be due to the charger being used or having issues.

I'm going to buy a laptop with Intel wireless abg 3945 built in wireless card, and due diligence told me to look up information on it. Unfortunately, this is what I found:
Some of the information on the web says there is 0 ways to give injection support
Some of the information on the web says that you can use ipw3945 to give injection support
However, some of the information on the web says that ipw3945 does not work, and you need ipwraw
And then there are those people who say that you cannot use ipwraw to do injection, only monitor mode
Lastly, are those people who talk about some kind of proprietary daemon that makes absolutely no sense to me.
So I want to know: What steps do I need to take (if it is possible at all) to give my card:
i) Injection Support
ii)Monitor Mode
iii)Internet Access
So that I can have all 3 (it's okay if I have to do a few steps to change in between them, that's expected, just as long as I don't have to follow a 2 page guide every time I want to do it)
Or, should I just stay as far away from this card as possible?
I would appreciate any information you may have.
Thank You, Rofler

White House Honors Four Leaders of NSF-Funded Citizen Science Groups Studying Ecology
"Champions of Change" recognized for engaging non-scientists in research
Four scientists who lead citizen science groups that are funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) will be honored at a White House ceremony that will be live streamed at Champions of Change from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. this morning and then archived on YouTube.
Along with eight other citizen scientist Champions of Change, these four NSF-funded Champions of Change will be recognized for their exemplary leadership in involving the broader, non-expert community in research on science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM).
Today's Champion of Change event is one of a series of weekly Champions of Change events held at the White House to spotlight ordinary Americans who are doing extraordinary work in their communities to help the United States in the future.
NSF-funded Champions of Change
The NSF-funded Champions of Change are:
Popularity and importance of citizen science
The citizen science Champions of Change are leaders in a field that is currently exploding in popularity--partly because the Internet and new applications afford quick and effective communication between citizen scientists and scientists. More than 600 citizen science groups are currently engaging more than 100,000 worldwide volunteers.
In addition, data from citizen scientists has been incorporated into more than 1,000 scientific papers in peer reviewed journals. In fact, much of current understanding about the distribution of plants and animals, the quality of water in streams and rivers, observed astronomy and the evidence of global climate change was derived from data produced by citizen science projects.
Agenda for the White House event
The White House event will be moderated by Joe Palca, National Public Radio's science desk correspondent. Each Champion of Change will deliver remarks about the scientific contributions of their respective citizen science programs and the personal impact of their programs on participants.
Also, Philip Rubin, principal assistant director for science in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, will speak at the event and Ellen McCallie, a program director in NSF's Directorate for Education and Human Resources, will deliver remarks about the general importance of citizen science to research and science education.
A brief description of the work of each Champion of Change and a blog post by each Champion are posted on the White House's Champions of Change website.
NSF support for citizen science
NSF currently funds hundreds of citizen science programs that are advancing science through varied approaches. Several examples include: players in an online game, known as Foldit, solved vexing problems in AIDS research; volunteers with the Einstein@Home project donated their computers' idle time to astronomy research and thereby helped discover a rotating pulsar; the Quake-Catcher Network is currently linking existing networked laptops and desktops in the hopes of forming the world's largest strong-motion seismic network; and about 15,000 volunteers with the Community Collaborative Rain & Hail Network submit daily precipitation readings from backyard rain gauges that are helping to improve precipitation predictions from the National Weather Service.
Reasons for supporting citizen science
NSF supports citizen science because of its value to research and education. "What better way to learn science than to do science?" says McCallie. "It takes a hands-on, minds-on approach to engaging people. No matter what the age or background of a person, participating in citizen science projects generally increases their interest and understanding of science."
Elizabeth Blood, a program director in NSF's Directorate of Biological Sciences, adds: "Despite the use of increasingly high-tech observation systems in scientific research, a critical human observing system--citizen scientists--remains important. Citizen scientists are continuing to advance research by helping to collect and/or process large quantities of important data, often obtained over large geographic areas, that would otherwise be inaccessible."
Other recent milestones for citizen science
In addition to participating in the June 25, 2013, Champions of Change event at the White House, NSF contributed to two other major milestones that raised the prominence of citizen science within the scientific community in 2012:

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency that supports fundamental research and education across all fields of science and engineering. In fiscal year (FY) 2017, its budget is $7.5 billion. NSF funds reach all 50 states through grants to nearly 2,000 colleges, universities and other institutions. Each year, NSF receives more than 48,000 competitive proposals for funding and makes about 12,000 new funding awards.

BSB: Tar Heels No. 1 in Baseball America poll
Posted January 24, 2013
Chapel Hill, N.C. — Baseball America released its annual preseason top 25 on Thursday and North Carolina will open as the publication's top team in 2013.
The top overall ranking by Baseball America is the first-ever for the Tar Heels.
Carolina leads four Atlantic Coast Conference teams in the initial rankings with NC State checking in at No. 8, Georgia Tech at No. 16 and Florida State at No. 20.
The Tar Heels return their entire weekend rotation from a year ago, a group that combined for 22 wins and all posted sub-2.00 ERAs in 2012.
Junior left-hander Kent Emnauel will anchor the rotation for the second straight year after winning eight games last year, while sophomore Benton Moss (7-2, 1.94 ERA) and junior Hobbs Johnson (7-1, 1-56 ERA) return as well.
Junior third baseman Colin Moran will lead the Tar Heel offense in 2013 after posting a team-high batting average of .365 last year.
Carolina opens the 2013 season on Friday, Feb. 15 against Seton Hall.

Tom Smyth stepping down as conductor of the Saint City Big Band
Saturday, Jun 07, 2014 06:00 am
Tom Smyth sits at his dining room table, the sun filtering in from a window illuminating a collection of paintings, masks and chess pieces he purchased during past world travels.
�Retirement has its tough sides. I have to get up at 7:30 in the morning to play hockey. So far I haven�t received much sympathy,� said Smyth, a big grin splitting his face.
Symth, a noted St. Albert music and science educator, is stepping down as conductor of the Saint City Big Band at a joint concert with its sister band, The St. Albert Community Concert Band on Wednesday, June 11 at the Arden Theatre.
For close to 35 years, he championed new works, revived forgotten ones and spun the favourites with nostalgic zest and ebullience.
In that time, Smyth influenced hundreds of musicians, and the event is bound to be an emotional, bittersweet and quite likely a joyous celebration.
Looking back to 1979, his first conducting venture as director for the St. Albert Community Concert Band, Smyth strongly promoted one major philosophy.
�Music is something you can do your entire life and it doesn�t matter if you put your instrument away for years, it�s still there for you. You can pick it up anytime in life.�
Raised in Edmonton with three sisters, his parents introduced him to the piano at age eight. But it failed to click. The sheet music he practiced simply wasn�t fun.
�I tried to get away without too much practice.�
In Grade 7 at Hillcrest Junior High, he discovered band class. He tested out the trumpet and was hooked.
�Music was something that gave me confidence. I knew there was something I was good at and I found being able to hear music in my head came easily.�
As a young boy, Smyth was naturally attracted to animals and cared for rabbits, tropical fish, salamanders and frogs.
�Even now, my brother-in-law has a dairy farm. I would go out and work with him and it was so relaxing and rewarding.�
Prior to graduation he enrolled in a zoology program at the University of Alberta. However, the 18-year-old�s viewpoint changed after attending a summer music program at the Naramata Centre for Continuing Education.
�I realized music is where I wanted to spend my life. But I didn�t want to perform. I wanted to teach.�
He switched to a music program and carried on performing in numerous university ensembles to gain experience.
An energetic, upbeat man, Smyth supplemented his income as part of dance band Sophisticated Swing. At its peak, the popular jazz band played 44 jobs in a year. However, it folded in 1990 as audience attendance dried up.
By 1979, Smyth had moved to St. Albert, teaching band at Paul Kane High. Through the local music network, he landed the role of director for St. Albert Community Concert Band.
His vision was simple � develop a more serious attitude within the band. At the time, many band members looked upon rehearsals as a social evening where chitchat dominated.
�Sometimes they�d have earphones while trying to play and they�d be listening to a hockey game. If the team scored, you�d hear them cheering. Today it would be unacceptable.�
Building on the tempo he set, Smyth initiated more challenging and intricate works � marches, Broadway hits and classical pieces that took different sections weeks to put together. One early favourite was Gustav Holst�s pastoral Chaconne from First Suite in E-Flat.
�It has a recurring theme done in a variety of ways. It�s done upside down. It�s done in a minor key. It�s played indifferent ways.
By 1986, Smyth stepped away from the podium returning to university to complete another year of education studying botany and biology.
In an odd twist of fate, when he resumed teaching at Paul Kane the following year, he was given band, physics, chemistry and science classes.
�I discovered I loved physics. It was my first physics class and I found it so logical.�
By 1987, he once again ventured to play trumpet with the concert band and the jazz band. Three years later, he was in the director�s role of the jazz band.
The jazz band joined the concert band, operating under the same umbrella five years earlier. St. Albert musician Aidan McGarrigle had formed a loose group of jazz players and inquired whether they too could operate as part of the community band program. The new musicians were embraced with open arms.
But in 2006, Smyth left his post with the jazz band. He retired from Paul Kane after teaching for 26 years, and Smyth and his wife Mary, also a retired teacher, had promised themselves an independent adventure.
After attending a job fair in Boston, they signed a two-year contract to teach in Shanghai at a school for international businessmen�s children.
Shanghai itself was a culture shock. It blended past tradition and modern flair with futuristic architecture into a swirling, multicultural mosaic of 18 million people, a far cry from St. Albert�s 50,000.
�If you can imagine a scene from Star Wars. Buildings like the Pearl Tower and the Jin Mao Tower are not square boxes. The Pearl Tower has three posts and a large ball and the Jin Mao looks like leaves growing up to a restaurant at the top and you can look down 82 floors below.�
Perhaps the biggest culture shock was being unable to speak the language. Staying away from western enclaves, the couple opted to live the Chinese experience.
�Not speaking the language, you felt very insecure as you were getting oriented. And trying to find simple things was difficult.�
Carrying on with the outstanding successes in Canada, Smyth not only taught a full roster of classes, he also formed a school jazz band. At the time, there were numerous Korean students who had never experienced jazz.
�They had no idea how to phrase jazz and it was quite a challenge. They used to joke I was their token white guy.�
Upon his return in 2008, Smyth picked up the jazz band�s baton without missing a beat. At this point in time, Saint City Jazz Band is one of the strongest in the area, and much of the credit belongs to Smyth for his dedication, enthusiasm and passion for music.
Although he is retiring as conductor for the jazz band, Smyth plans to hold onto his seat in the trumpet section of the concert band and will continue performing with the Gateway Big Band.
Dr. Angela Schroeder, conductor for St. Albert Community Concert Band, has also performed with Smyth at Concordia College.
�Every time he sits in, you can tell everyone in the trumpet section has a great time. I�ve sat in with him and he�s a funny, lovely person to play with and he makes the experience that much more enjoyable.�

Hawks take shot at ending Cubs' curse
Hatfields and McCoys, Bobby V, zombies celebrated
By Benjamin Hill / MLB.com | July 10, 2012 6:21 AM ET
According to an oft-repeated legend, the Chicago Cubs' seemingly endless championship drought is due to "The Curse of the Billy Goat." This ominous spell was placed upon the team in 1945, after tavern owner Billy Sianis was ejected from a World Series game at Wrigley Field because his malodorous pet goat was bothering nearby fans.
Will Chicago's North Side professional baseball entity ever be able to overcome the sorcery of Sianis? The Boise Hawks, the Cubs' Class A Short-Season affiliate, sure hope so. On Friday the 13th, the team is staging the third iteration of its "Reverse the Curse Night" promotion, in which all area goats are welcome at the ballpark (with the purchase of a full-price general admission ticket -- no freeloaders!).
"The first time we did this was in 2004, the year after the Steve Bartman incident," said Hawks broadcaster Michael Safford. "That night we had 11 goats at the ballpark, who were all in a special goat area. There was a guy dressed up as Bartman, and we had a sellout crowd."
The sellout crowd was motivated in no small part by the evening's giveaway item, as early-arriving fans received limited-edition Billy Goat bobbleheads (Safford reports that they were selling on eBay for $50 before the game's first pitch). The Hawks repeated the promotion in 2006 (in which the color of the bobblehead was switched from white to black), and, come Friday, are hoping that the third time's the charm. Goat bobbleheads will once again be given away, and the evening's real-life goat attendees will be free to roam within a specially-designated ballpark petting zoo. And to top it all off, the Hawks are planning a plethora of superstition-themed promotions to take place during the game.
"It's Friday the 13th -- maybe we can reverse the curse and finally get the Cubs to the World Series," said Safford, who was then moved to consider just how badly the parent club has played thus far. "Well, that's obviously not going to happen this year."
New York-Penn League overload!
Teams in the Class A Short-Season New York-Penn League only play 38 home dates a year, but in the case of the Lowell Spinners and State College Spikes, that just means that less is more. Both clubs feature a non-stop cavalcade of promotions this week, and only the hardiest of fans will be able to keep up with them all. Let's take a look:
The Spinners turn a pair of Kings into bobblehead royalty as they honor sports journalist Peter King on Thursday and master of horror Stephen King on Friday. This segues into Saturday's "Valentine's Day" promo, a tongue-in-cheek tribute to Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine that features a pink baseball giveaway and wrap sandwiches at the concession stand (because Bobby, an erstwhile restaurateur, claims to have invented them). Finally, Monday is "Turn Back the Clock Day," as the Spinners take the field in the uniforms of the 1912 Lowell Grays.
It'd be tough to top the Spinners' upcoming promo slate, but the State College Spikes just might. Wednesday is "Japanese Game Show Night," in which the team pays tribute to the bizarre televised competitions produced by our friends in the far East. This gives way to Thursday's giveaway, as the first 1,000 fans receive a replica Hall of Fame bust of local baseball legend John Montgomery Ward. Then things get downright freaky on Friday the 13th, as stuntman Ted Batchelor will run the bases WHILE ON FIRE following the game. (Note: Batchelor will also be performing the night before, following the Harrisburg Senators' game.)
Once the smoke clears, the Spikes' promo train will keep right on rolling with Saturday's distribution of dual bobbleheads featuring 2006 Spikes-turned-2011 World Series heroes Jason Motte and Allen Craig. This will be followed by Sunday's "Christmas Beach Party" (why not?) before the homestand wraps up in decidedly low-tech fashion with Monday's "Tribute to Amish Heritage."
Appy League awesomeness
This column has belonged to short-season clubs thus far, and with short-season clubs it will remain. For even the normally no-frills Appalachian League has some premier promos this week, highlighted by the Bluefield Blue Jays' "Hatfield vs. McCoy Night" on July 17.
The Blue Jays are playing their arch rivals the Princeton Rays on this evening, so what better way to celebrate than by commemorating one of the most vicious Appalachian feuds of all time? Entertainers from the Hatfield and McCoy Dinner Show (based in Pigeon Forge, Tenn.) are coming in to perform, and all in-game contests will be inspired by the famous family feud. And, of course, all fans with the last name of Hatfield or McCoy receive free admission to the ballpark.
The Princeton Rays have their own memorable promotion this week as well, which puts the "miner" in "Minor League Baseball." July 14 is the team's annual "Coal Heritage Game," which pays tribute to the region's industrial heritage. The Rays will take the field in "coal-colored" black and grey jerseys, and these duds are scheduled to be auctioned off after the game with proceeds benefiting the charitable organization Remember the Miners.

Harlequins centre Matt Hopper insists losing their unbeaten start to the season to title rivals Saracens will not quash his side's aspirations of retaining their Aviva Premiership crown.
Flying high after a convincing victory over Leicester Tigers at Welford Road, the champions were looking to maintain their 100 per cent start as they welcomed Sarries to the Stoop.
But a flawless kicking display from Owen Farrell secured the visitors an 18-16 victory to end Quins' seven-game unbeaten run.
Hopper admitted his side are yet to hit the heights of last year but commended Quins' defensive showings which have seen them concede just one try in 320 minutes of rugby.
And the 27-year-old is confident if his side can begin to mirror their impressive attacking performances in training on the pitch, they will get back to winning way against Exeter Chiefs.
"It is all about the bigger picture. The end goal is the season and to win trophies at the end of the year," said Hopper.
"We are playing some really good rugby but I would say we haven't quite hit the peak of last year just yet which is to be expected but the style of rugby that we are playing is really good.
"Defensively we have been very good and it is very encouraging. Conceding only one try in the last four games is a huge positive for us considering we have played Leicester away and now Saracens.
"Attacking wise we were getting the opportunities at the weekend and forcing them to give us penalties but unfortunately Nick [Evans] couldn't convert.
"We need to start putting more of what we doing in training into our games."
After losing their perfect record this season Quins now find themselves in unfamiliar terriroty – looking up at Northampton Saints as they sit second in the Aviva Premiership table.
But one man who knows the intricacies of Premiership rugby more than anyone is perhaps former Sarries and Bath lock Danny Grewcock having appeared in the competition every season 1997 before retiring in 2011.
And he believes that this season is set to be the closest yet, but can't see a scenario where Conor O'Shea's troops don't feature in the final say.
"We seem to say it every year but from the Premiership down rugby in this country is getting tougher and tougher, all the way down to the National Leagues," said SSE ambassador Grewcock.
"This season is no different and when you consider that Saracens won the league the season before and then Harlequins won it last year then you see that different clubs are challenging all the time.
"This season has started really strongly and there are a number of clubs that you would say will be up their fighting for the top four come the end of the season.
"You have to say that as defending champions Harlequins are favourites but they are probably twice the amount of teams than semi-final spots available and I think it will be a very close run thing."

Make money by finding property that no one else knows is for sale!
This is a non-credit course. Not for license renewals.
Probate offers remarkable ways to find listings. What happens when an estate that includes Real property becomes available? Generally the property will languish while the estate is being settled and the heirs hope some buyer will stumble in with some kind of offer. When that doesn't happen for a few months they finally decide to list the property. This is where you as the real estate professional come in. With the knowledge you'll receive from the Rivers of Gold course you'll know before anyone else that the house is going to be for sale. Powerful, powerful, information that you can use to help build your business. You will know about the property before anyone else knows that it is going to be available for sale. We teach you how to find them so you can LIST THEM, present them to your buyers at GREAT prices or even buy them yourself.
This gives you plenty of margin to work. Probate properties are often owned free and clear. In many cases this means you may be able to have the heirs take back a loan and finance the property with very favorable terms. How would your buyers love to buy a great property at a great price with owner carried financing!
The opportunity to help solve other people's problems represents a golden opportunity to reap the rewards of many new listings.
Many small businesses fail for lack of a system. Rivers of Gold offers a complete system, starting with the Probate process, specialized for every area, the terminology and all the players involved.
The system includes segments on:
How would you like five new listings per month that are very saleable? Knowledge of Probate and the Probate system will increase your income, your freedom, and the security of having a steady source of income coming to you month after month.
As a real estate professional, you owe it to yourself and your long standing clients to learn everything available about the transfer of real estate. Probate is a great example where real estate has to be transferred under stressful situations and you can become the one that your community looks toward to help in this process. You can be the one that attorneys depend on to move the process forward by liquidating the largest assets, real estate, enabling the heirs to settle the estate, and move on with their lives. Your reward, more listings than you ever thought were possible.
Ken and Diana are committed to your success! And as part of that commitment, they offer ongoing consultation and advice, not only to get you started but to keep you up- to- date and ensure that you are on the right track to be a "Probate Listing Machine".

You could cheat and have the buttons not load until someone mouses near them, that'd solve the page load time issue.

Do you have any stats on the number of people that share from the Article page compared to the Home page (or other archives).
If the majority are using share buttons from the article itself, I would highly recommend having the share buttons appear only on the article and not in on the homepage or in the archives where they'll appear ten times per page.
Better yet, this is exactly what A/B testing is for. Do a split test for a few weeks and see what happens.
Personally, I'd be pretty surprised if you lost a statistically significant number of shares/traffic by removing share links from the home page, and I'd suspect you'd see a measurable change in your bounce rate.

I was just thinking about this, as I changed browsers and had to reapply the blocks.
They should have an unloaded script element, a collapsed div, that only loads the content when the div is expanded.
Streamed content is fairly trivial to do these days, and sacrificing the stability and usability of the website for something so stupid and trivial is stupid.
other sites I go to, do not freeze for 5-10 seconds, so they are doing something wrong.
Also, the collapsed div can be covered by a reddit button, with a very simple script. Something loaded once at the top of the page that executes the reddit upvote functionality, but only after the div has expanded and the jquery script has loaded. You will very likely have to modify the script itself to make it work that way... but its gotta be better than loading 11 different copies of the same script :p
and another problem.
I was unable to comment by default. Had to turn off the nifty fancy commenting doohicky in preferences and turn it to basic. It wouldn't load properly in chrome (perhaps due to blocking certain scripts to mitigate the load times on the front page?)

Found a better solution... an adblock list containing all the damn social buttons spamming the web..
you can add it to your adblock or put them in yourself. Either way, works wonders EVERY page surfs a thousand times faster now :P
