Overseas R&D by Multinationals in foreign Centers of Excellence
This paper examines the determinants of overseas R&D by Swedish multinationals. Our empirical results indicate that the location of R&D abroad to a large extent is motivated by the need to adapt products and processes to conditions in the foreign markets where the firms operate. However, we also find that the MNEs tend to locate their R&D in host countries which are relatively specialized technologically in the firms' own areas. This finding may suggest that one additional motive to locating R&D abroad is to gain access to knowledge in foreign "centers of excellence" and benefit from localized spillovers.

Budding writers at Clarendon College were thrilled to receive a visit from Caroline Lawrence, author of the bestselling Roman Mysteries novels, last Friday.
The author delivered an hour-long talk about her internationally successful children's fiction to Year 7 students from the College and Year 5 and 6 students from Holbrook Primary School. They will have the chance to use their new knowledge in a creative writing competition, with prizes including five novels from the Roman Mysteries series.
At the end of the talk, students asked, before taking the opportunity to have their copies of her novels signed.
Teacher Mike Griffiths said: "The students thoroughly enjoyed the visit; we could see many of our budding writers hurriedly scribbling down the writing tips on offer. Hopefully this visit will inspire some top-quality creative writing as students begin their studies of ancient Rome in English and humanities next term."

It recently emerged that MI5 has been busy – not encouraging Muslims to work in concert with the authorities to root out extremism, but "blackmailing" Muslims to provide intelligence. This is a truly disturbing development, but one sadly stemming from a wider misguided strategy of engaging with the Muslim community.
Commentators – including Zin Derfoufi who wrote on this topic earlier in the week – have failed to appreciate the severity of these latest allegations or have drawn inappropriate comparisons with previous issues engulfing the Muslim community. Let there be no ounce of doubt. These allegations will cause the gravest level of discomfort amongst Muslims – more than any other issue past – and rightly so. It frankly beggars belief.
Young men say they were detained by MI5 agents simply by virtue of the fact that they were Muslim. They say they were then threatened that unless they provided intelligence for the security services they would face entirely false accusations of extremism. Over a period of 18 months they claimed to have been harassed by taunting phone calls, including one saying: "If you don't want anything to happen to your family you will co-operate." On one occasion a MI5 agent rang one of the men at 7am to congratulate him on a baby girl when the man's wife still seven months' pregnant – the couple had told the hospital they didn't want to know the sex of their child. One man said that his house was entered by a man dressed as a postman – who, in fact, turned out to be an MI5 officer – with access to his house. He said he was told: "If you do not work for us we will tell any foreign country you try to travel to that you are a suspected terrorist." None of the men have ever been arrested any terrorism-related offence.
Many of those who commented on Zin's article cited cases of when they were searched and detained and were entirely content. I am too. But there are boundaries. And these boundaries have now been grossly breached. Dicey's classical conception of the rule of law dictates rule by law alone; a man may be "punished for a breach of law, but he can be punished for nothing else". Yet the definition may well now have an extra addition, "save for Muslims". The rules now appear to be: if you are a Muslim, accept that you are a terror suspect, accept infringement of your liberties, accept being treated differently – prove that you are one of us. For Muslims the presumption of innocence is no longer a right but a privilege.
What is most concerning is that it appears Jacqui Smith was aware of these serious allegations as long as nine months ago but did nothing. She will no doubt, as usual, claim that it was an operational decision made without the interference of her department. But it will fall on deaf ears. With a summer cabinet reshuffle looming, her actions or lack of them in these unprecedented allegations may well prove fatal for an already beleaguered home secretary, who will now have the Muslim community asking serious questions about her judgement and why she failed to act.
The true significance of this development is lost without mention of the backdrop. The government's Contest 2 strategy has achieved unequivocal condemnation from Muslim leaders across the spectrum for its baseless approach. It criminalises that which is perfectly legitimate and within the confines of the law. Suspicion about the real motives of our government has spread deep into the Muslim community and particularly affects those most vulnerable to radicalisation, young Muslims, who are, at present, facing an identity crisis.
More than ever before, the government desperately needs to command the full support, confidence and, most importantly, the trust of the Muslim community – which they have at present unquestionably lost. Perhaps the reaction of the British public to the headlines engulfing Westminster in the last couple of weeks can teach a few lessons. And equally the response of the political elite illustrates that where there is complete lack of trust and confidence, it calls for bold action and a radical shift in policy.
But the story will reverberate strongly into the homes of every Muslim with mounting disbelief and deep distrust about the direction of our country's policy on engagement and counter-radicalisation. This descent to nowhere will only be counter-productive.

Dancing, haircuts and school supplies were the order of the day Monday at May Park Community Center.
Hundreds of children, along with their parents, participated in the Foxie 103 Jamz Cuts Back to School Bash at the center. Perry Broadcasting and Augusta Recreation, Parks & Facilities were the hosts of the event.
Velvet Perry, Perry's vice president and general manager, said more than 2,000 kids attended the event and that the 1,500 bags of paper, pencils, rulers, binders and folders donated by the company were all given away.
Forty-four barbers and employees of two hair salons also donated their time and skills Monday to give kids fresh haircuts before they head back to school this month. School resumes in Columbia County today and in Richmond County next Monday.
"It's been a wonderful event," Perry said. "This is all about this community and giving back, and that's exactly what we were able to do today."

The nation's largest car rental companies have agreed to support legislation that bars them from renting a car that is under a recall until it is repaired.
There is no law that requires recalled cars to be repaired, even when those cars are being rented to consumers who assume that the rental cars are in safe operating condition. The issue was brought to light in a dramatic way when the car Raechel and Jacqueline Houck had rented caught fire as a result of a defect that had caused a recall, then crashed head-on into a tractor-trailer and killed the sisters in 2004. Their mother, Cally Houck, has lobbied for a law that would require rental car companies to remove recalled cars from rental fleets until they are repaired.
Hertz, Avis Budget Group, Dollar Thifty Automotive Group as well as Enterprise Holdings, which operates National, Alamo and Enterprise, have all agreed to support the Raechel and Jacqueline Houck Safe Rental Car Act of 2012. Together, these companies comprise the majority of the rental car market in the U.S.
Sen. Charles Schumer, one of the sponsors of the act, is hoping it will be approved by the Senate immediately following the November election.
Protecting yourself from the costs of a car accident is just one of the reasons you might need car rental insurance, though the add-on policy doesn't prevent car insurance rates from rising if you are deemed at-fault in an accident.

Slayer Guitarist Kerry King Recalls Fun Times With Jeff Hanneman at Memorial Celebration
While several of the speakers got emotional and tears were shed at Thursday's Jeff Hanneman Memorial Celebration at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, Slayer guitarist Kerry King chose to keep things light and upbeat while remembering his late bandmate. King used his time onstage to share several fun stories from his history with Hanneman that showed the guitarist's spirit and good nature.
King opened by recalling the odd first meeting that he had with Hanneman, turning up to audition for a band but actually connecting with the guitarist in the lobby before entering to meet the group. After the audition, King sought out Hanneman, they exchanged numbers and the rest is history.
King shared a story of how Hanneman never drove, choosing to give up his license in his youth after getting a couple of drunk driving convictions. As a result, he and Tom Araya took turns picking up Hanneman every day to go rehearse in their studio where King actually played some drums while Hanneman handled most of the guitar parts.
The guitarist also credited Hanneman with Slayer's punk influence. King, a hardcore metal guy early on, recalled, "Jeff was getting into punk, big time. I didn't understand it because I was more of a Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford kind of guy — the singers. And punk seemed like a cheaped-down version with s—ty singers. And that's what I thought for a long time, but Jeff was my doorway to punk and it really helped Slayer become kind of the bridge between the metal kids and the punk kids. I gotta tell you though, when he shaved his head I was pissed. How can you be in a metal band with a dude with a shaved head? But that's what Jeff did cause that was Jeff."
The story that got the biggest laugh revolved around the band's tour with Judas Priest and King having too much to drink. "I'd had too much which usually isn't my style," said King. "It was that time and at least I had the window seat and I went to roll down the window and it was one of those child windows that only went down halfway. And luckily back then I didn't have all this (his beard) or it would have been much worse, so I'm doing my best to get the puke out of the car and you know, it didn't make it. It's on my arm, it's on my chin and Hanneman is sitting next to me and he looks at me and says, 'Dude, that's the best thing I've ever seen.' I'm all pissed off with puke all over me and he's like, '(laughing) that's the best thing ever.' He was soaked and it didn't matter he had puke on him because he had such a good time that day. And I'll never forget that story."
King closed out his time with a story about some of the hijinks he and Hanneman enjoyed at the expense of manager Rick Sales, who had tried to pre-emptively hit them with a wet cloth towel and missed. Unfortunately for Sales, King and Hanneman took the towel and got their revenge, beaning him in the forehead for a restaurant full of people to hear.
The guitarist ended his speech asking the audience to remember his friend well, and with the light-hearted stories, that's a definite. To see a full report on the Jeff Hanneman Memorial Celebration, click here.

The NYTimes.com has a rather lengthy article posted here, asking the old, old question (at least in internet time) of why you have to take the laptop out of its bag and send it in a separate "bin" through security x-ray machines when you're going through airport security checkpoints.
There's an easy answer, and we've dealt with that here before – maybe the NYTimes columnist – in this case Matt Richtel – should learn how to Google or just shoot us an email. Check our Airport Security FAQ, for example… or just read up on all the other articles we've got on the subject. Anyway, since that doesn't seem to be an option, we'll take a crack at explaining this tiny piexe of airport security again.
What (o yea, we'll be using subheadings this time – they're cool):
If you're planning to bring a laptop as part of your carry-on when flying, you'll (in most cases) have to remove it from the bag you have it in, if any, and place it in a separate "bin" before you send it through the x-ray machine. According to the NYTimes, they've asked the TSA why this rule exists, only to receive an answer of "confidential information", which is regular TSA BS (no, not as in Bruce Schneier, but as in BullShit). There are, however, logical reasons for the procedure, and we'll proceed to explain them now.
How, you say? That's not part of the question… Oh but it is. You see, when you send your carry on through the machine, it produces an image based on x-ray "backscatter", sort of (but not quite) like a radar image. I.e. the image is based on how much radiation "comes back" to the sensor array, and the image is then calculated based on those values. If an object is dense enough, then there will be nothing coming back to the sensors, and objects might be obscured.
Also, since different materials will be color coded in the images in order to illustrate to the operator what they are, denser materials will be dominant over less dense, i.e. steel, colored blue/black will dominate (hide) dynamite, for example, being colored orange and less dense. Blue/black plus orange will create a green, which will either blend into the blue or misconstrued as ceramics of some sort. See our page on how to interpret these kinds of x-rays. There are quite a few example images in there.
The issue to be resolved is then how to ensure that a rather large metal mass like a computer doesn't block items from the image, and how to scan the computer itself in an effective manner.
Why (finally):
The NYTimes article poses the question why iPads, small netbooks etc. do not have to be separately scanned, and why laptops have to be, in the first place.
The answer is simple:
- – It's easy to hide an IED inside a computer. It has nothing to do with jamming tech, etc. It's just very, very easy to build and conceal a bomb inside a laptop. You've already got a power source in there, and programming a timer in the already existing software would be a breeze.
- – The amount of metal in a computer is rather high, and will help conceal any foreign objects inside it. Coupled with a bag, perhaps a charger in a side pocket, an extra USB cable or network cable in the bag, things get messy awfully fast.
- – Netbooks, iPads or other thin, low metal content "pads" simply do not have the extra space inside to contain anything. Also, they're thin enough to let the x-rays through, and the operator will be able to see what's inside.
This isn't rocket science, but since the TSA insists on concealing simple facts like these from the public, tolerance levels for security measures continue to go down the drain. This is also why we're here! According to BS (yep, this time we mean the man), this is security theater, but that is, as usual, a faulty presumption on Schneier's side. The problem is simply that the man has never worked in real, physical security, and has nothing to draw on but his own assumptions. As we all know, assumptions makes ass out of everyone.
X-raying laptops separately is (unlike a lot of other things the TSA decides to do), based on a real threat assessment by actual x-ray operators and supervisors, and was started in the EU and then adopted by the TSA (US), instead of the other way around.

AI have always used marshmallow fondant, the white always comes out great and easy to work with but once I add coloring to it it cracks and crumbles. I use the Wilton color gels and I need to make a bright red later on today but again I'm scared of the way it will work out for me... I have always heard good feedback about the Wilton gels, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong...please help???
I find its easier to add color to the melted marshmallow goo before adding the powdered sugar. Also, some people have melted candy melts and added that to the marshmallow goo as well with some good results! Try that?
Jello or candy melts. I used candy melts to make my sons fireman hat cake last month. It's a very good starting pt but I still had to add quite a bit of gel color. The texture was fine though. Much better than without the help from the candy.
When I have to make red or black fondant I just buy precoloured as if I try to mix in all the colour, it gets over kneaded and dries which is what causes it to crumble and crack.
Powdered colours are the only way to go for bright colours!
AThank u!! I will definitely try something new because I usually just end up throwing my fondant batches away if they do not work out and that is such a waste and it is so tiring to make them...i will definitely try all of these new things and see what works best for me...thanks again!! :D
I also color the marshmallows before adding the powdered sugar. It works out really well for rme. I made a red fondant that came out great, I was using the witon gel colors as well.

Tito, Teto and Some Troubled Tourism Await You in Tetovo, Macedonia
Text by Dimana Trankova | Photographs by Anthony Georgieff
Unfortunately, to most outsiders, Tetovo is not renowned for its skiing facilities. Rather, it has a more forbidding reputation. It is the scene of the Albanian separatist National Liberation Army's (NLA) fierce clashes with Macedonian security forces in the 2001 conflict.
But the Albanian minority's unofficial capital, at one time part of the Ottoman Empire, as well as belonging to Serbia, Great Albania and Yugoslavia – and also the refuge for a considerable number of tsarist officers after the Russian Revolution – offers a pleasant and friendly surprise.
Tetovo's central square is not exactly enticing. It has the usual combination of broken pavements and dilapidated monuments, relics of the Communist era under Marshal Tito, the former Yugoslavian leader who tried to steer his own path between East and West.
Tito's buildings are of an architectural style designed to prove the superiority of his brand of Communism over Todor Zhivkov's. Just don't expect any earth-shattering contrast to Bulgaria!
But don't give up on Tetovo just yet. Turn left into Ilindenska Street and reach the humpback stone bridge over the Pena River. There you will see, rising on the other side of the river, a building that can rightfully claim to be the world's most colourful mosque. And the interior is just as striking as its façade.
The walls of the Aladzha Mosque, also known as Šarena Dzamija, or the "Painted" Mosque, are covered with geometrical shapes in green, blue, ochre and red – a truly delightful sight. And, thankfully, the building forms just part of a brighter enclave in an otherwise drab location.
Surrounding the mosque is a small park with well-maintained rosebushes and towering trees that provide a welcome contrast to the neglected central square. The Pena River babbles at its side and an abandoned Turkish bath cuts across it, part of an old complex of inns around the mosque.
Until fairly recently it housed a restaurant that went by the rather pretentious name of "Sheraton". The octagonal turbe, or tomb, with the remains of Hurshida and Mensure, the women who founded the complex (the first building was finished in 1459), is right in front of the mosque.
"Do you like it? They used 30,000 eggs to make the paint." A friendly young schoolgirl from the building's top-floor religious school approached us inside the mosque to practise her English. But most children are shy and only speak Albanian, which can be used on the municipal level in the Macedonian Republic since 2002.
This freedom stemmed from provisions in the peace treaty that ended the conflict. Under its terms any language spoken by more than 20 per cent of the population of a certain municipality can be used on the local level. But tolerance of a different tongue has failed to dissolve simmering tensions. Since the republic split from Yugoslavia after a 1991 referendum, relations between Tetovo's two largest ethnic groups have been precariously poised between peace and war.
The Tetovo State University was part of the problem. Established illegally in several houses in the nearby village of Mala Rechica, it became the country's first institution to teach students in Albanian. Legalised in 2001, it now has its own web page and is a rival to the South East European University.
But the Bektashi monks in the nearby Harabati Baba Tekke, a Dervish lodge, have a long history of hardship. Situated outside the city, by the large new cemetery at the foot of Popova Šapka, the monastery has a conspicuous three-storey, ultramarine-painted tower. The monks claim the tower was the last home of a high-ranking Albanian named Roxalana, who died of tuberculosis there. According to a more popular theory, it was part of the monastery's defence system, founded in the 16th Century.
The tower could not protect the tekke either from being burnt by guerrillas in 1948 or from Yugoslavia's Communists, who banned its religious activities and converted it from a haven of meditation into a tourist complex comprising a hotel, restaurant and disco. In those years – ironically, the Macedonian Communist Party was founded in 1943 in Tetovo – the monastery was silent proof of the legend explaining its unofficial name, Sersem Tekke, or the Fool's Tekke.
The story, recounted by present-day Bektashi monks with suitable self-irony, relates to a dream of Ali Baba, one of Suleiman the Magnificent's most esteemed high officials. The vision of this highly respected Bektashi leader in the Ottoman Empire was so inspiring that Ali Baba decided to abandon secular life and devote himself to religious contemplation. Angered but powerless, Suleiman told his vizier: "If you will be a sersem (fool), then go." Ali Baba settled in Tetovo, which was practically unknown at the time, and became popular as Sersem Baba. Officially, the monastery is named after Harabati Baba, the only disciple of the former vizier, who took over the institution after Ali Baba's death in 1569.
While strolling in the large monastery garden or looking at the old stones in its cemetery, you may decide that Ali Baba was a sensible man rather than a sersem. The complex, whose main buildings were constructed in the 18th Century, became the focal point for the Bektashi living in this part of the Balkan Peninsula and survived even though Atatürk banned the order in its native Turkey in 1922. According to some estimates, nearly a quarter of Muslims here belonged to this denomination at the beginning of the 20th Century.
Despite Communist persecution, the tekke quickly restored its initial activities in 1995 following an initiative by Baba Tahir Emini. Today, there are 10 to 15 Bektashi monks living there. "We just want peace and privacy. So we don't advertise ourselves and we try not to attract tourists," one of them tells us. But sit with them under the shed – decorated with portraits of Imam Ali, the reverse clocks and pictures from Baba Tahir Emini's funeral some months ago – and the monks can be very hospitable.
Gradually, more tourists are coming. Ironically, they're attracted not by the fêted Popova Šapka, or Priest's Hat, named after an Orthodox monk's headgear, but by the religious order and its monuments that were forbidden until just a few years ago.

Great vacation!: Carnival Glory Cruise Review by pcnc
Overall Member Rating
Great vacation!
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
Departed Port Canaveral Saturday 4:00pm. We grabbed some pizza dropped our carry-on luggage in our room, shortly there after was the drill. The room porters took care of getting our luggage into our rooms as it was sorted out. We had an inside state room, which was all we needed. There is plenty of closet space for all of the clothes that you bring that you probably will never use. Yes we over packed.
Sunday we arrived in Nassau, at the end of the boardwalk we were greeted by several locals offering tours. We had nothing planned and wasn't sure what to do. After a discussion with a gentleman named Shawn Murray 'Baby D' we decided to go with him. $30.00 a person. He was a very good tour guide and I highly recommend him. We finished More the tour and had a couple of hours to shop.
Tuesday St Thomas, we booked an excursion through St Thomas Excursions, we chartered a 42 ft. sail boat. Only 6 people can go on this boat. We were traveling with another couple and the 4 of us had the boat to ourselves. Of course the boat 'Forever Young' came equipped with Capt.'Larry' and mate 'Kim'. Excellent day away from the cruise crowd. We went to a couple of places to snorkel, sailed around a bit, had a great lunch, plenty to drink and eat, all for about $125 per person.Excellent!
Wednesday St Maarten, we booked a jeep and water craft excursion through St Maarten excursions. About $100 a person. The jeep ride was ok, they drive like maniacs on the island so throw safety aside and hang on. The water craft was really cool but the snorkeling wasn't as nice as St Thomas. You are in more open water so it isn't as peaceful and clear like St Thomas. We ate at Guavaberry on Orient Beach. My wife and I had a couple of burgers, fries, and their specialty punch for about $18. We then drove back to the ship with plenty of time to shop in town. Taxi fare is $3.00 a person into town. Husbands let the ladies get their free jewelry it makes them happy and does cost except for the taxi.
Thursday and Friday 2 days at sea, plenty of time to get fat. The on board experience was great. We hung out at the back of the ship most of the time and there were very few kids back there. I wish the cruise lines would make sections of the ship adults only. I don't care for being around kids when I'm on vacation. The only 'adult only' area was I think for topless sunbathing. If thats your thing have at it.
The Glory was a great 1st time cruise experience for my wife and I. No complaints other than it was too short. We are hooked on cruising, the cost of cruising is about what we would spend renting a house at the beach, food, gas, charter boat fishing, etc. The formal nights are nice, excellent food and its all you can eat. I would order 2 or 3 starters, then bring on the main courses, lamb, red snapper, grouper, then give me lots of desserts. Take advantage of the photo shoots, you don't have to buy them if you don't want them. There are too many things to do on board.Try the sushi if you never have, its free, if you don't like it you haven't lost anything. My only advice to 1st time cruisers, don't overpack, bring a clothes steamer, irons aren't allowed, lose ten pounds before going, I gained 11, let the wife get her free stuff, buy her a nice ring onboard, and bring plenty of money so you can have fun. Thank you Carmello, Priyo, Milana, Joseph, Caiton, and the all of the other Glory employees for making this vacation great. Less

Galle – Sri Lanka will be looking to left-arm spinner Rangana Herath to turn their fortunes around in Test cricket when the first Test against Pakistan starts on Friday.
Since the retirement of the peerless Muttiah Muralitharan two years ago, Sri Lanka's Test record has been dismal with four lost series and two drawn.
"Rangana is the most senior bowler who has been burdened with the workload. His bowling is fantastic," said Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene.
Galle has become a favourite venue for the orthodox left-armer. In six Tests he has taken 30 wickets at an average of 23.50, including a match-winning career best 12 for 171 against Andrew Strauss's England team last March.
"It's an important series for both teams and Rangana (Herath) and Saeed (Pakistan off-spinner Ajmal) will play a big role in all three test matches," said Jayawardene.
"It all depends on how the others react and how they take responsibility. This is going to be a very exciting series."
Pakistan's stand-in captain Mohammad Hafeez said he was confident his team would continue their good recent form during which they have won four series, including a 3-0 whitewash of world number one side England, and drawn six despite playing all their matches abroad.
"In the last 1-1/2 years this team has done a great job," said Hafeez who is captaining his country in a Test for the first time. "Our performances were great so I don't think there's anything special I have to do for the team.
"Everybody plays his role very well as far as test cricket is concerned. We really had a good series against England so that confidence will definitely help us."
Hafeez will be leading Pakistan in a Test for the first time after captain Mizbah-ul-Haq was forced to miss the first Test after he was handed a one-match ban for a slow over rate in the fifth one-day match on Monday.
"Obviously we'll miss Misbah in the team because he is a calm and stable personality," said Hafeez."But still we'll have to move forward. I am sure the team will do well."
Hafeez said the team had not decided who will replace Misbah but named newcomers Afaq Raheem and Mohammad Yusuf as possible candidates.
"Mohammad Yusuf is a very fine middle-order batsman who earned his place scoring 1 000 runs in four consecutive seasons in first-class cricket," said Hafeez.
"Afaq Raheem is one of the best openers in Pakistan who is doing well at first class level. Both have done a great job and earned their place on the tour."
The second Test is scheduled for June 30 in Colombo and the third for July 8 in Pallakele. – Reuters

A Few Canadian Comments about the AWP Conference
The AWP Conference begins today, and like many of you, I am attending sessions in Denver, appearing alongside friends on a panel about the poetics of Flarf and Conceptualism. Since the first appearance of the AWP Conference in Vancouver (2005), I have been contributing to such events over the last six years, and within the first two years of my attendance, I have participated on panels with my Canadian colleagues from the Department of English at the University of Calgary. Our sessions have always garnered enthusiastic, superlative responses from attendees (in part because my peers are all very interesting, very charismatic personalities). The University of Calgary features the most advanced, most rigorous, programme for Creative Writing in English Canada (since we are the only institution here to offer a doctorate in English Literature, with a specialization in Creative Writing, allowing students to produce and to publish a creative dissertation with an academic introduction)—but despite this fact, our proposals for participation in the AWP Conference have met with recurrent rejection over the last four years. We have always followed up with organizers about the rationale for these rejections, wondering why our exciting research has been consistently rebuffed (and of course, the organizers reassure us that, year after year, many viable panels of merit go unaccepted—but that we must simply keep trying over and over again…).
We have felt, however, that the AWP Conference has not adequately represented the interests of its foreign members (who, of course, pay fees), and we feel that a programme of our supreme calibre in Canada warrants being considered more seriously for recurrent, if not consistent, participation at the conference (if only so that our constituency sees itself represented among the membership). We cannot help but feel that such recurrent rejection has come to reflect a systematic ignorance about the importance of our contribution to both research and pedagogy in the field, and we feel somewhat dismayed that the AWP continues to prevent us from showcasing our talents to both students and teachers from America. We cannot ignore the chronic absence of other Canadian programmes at these events, and we feel disappointed that the organizers do not seem to do more to redress the scholastic insularity of American, academic culture—consequently, our institution has felt obliged to cancel its membership in the organization, since we have come to feel that we are merely wasting our fees. We have, in fact, decided that, in response to such neglect, we must spearhead an initiative to create a national coalition that can serve the interests of programmes here in Canada—and towards this end, my colleagues and I have been working very hard to organize a founding, literary conference in Banff for later this year, so that instructors in Canada might begin work on creating an organization (the CCWWP), which might better represent the unique issues of its membership….
(Otherwise, I am looking forward to seeing you all at the conference—and if I am not at the tables, buying a stack of books, I am probably nursing a martini at the bar…).

A Sweet Surprise
I am taking a hiatus from my blog. While it is a mixture of things I love for the world to see, it is no longer a priority. My priorities have clearly been laid out for me by our Father. In order to do the works that have been laid before me, I cannot consume an ounce of time with things of the world that are not of Him. He gave me the gift of my family, my church, my friends, my education and so much more and they will now and forever be used to honor Him. I ask that anyone who reads this, send a prayer up that I remain focused on the works he has for me now. I also pray that in your daily life you find the focus that God intends for you to have. We too easily get caught up in a virtual world, when we have such a beautiful, real one to live. There are many, many beautiful blogs out there to visit for stunning craftiness and stellar ideas. I do hope that you will continue to take advantage of the freebies in my Shoppe...button to the right.
I will return, in God's time. Until then, please feel free to comment or e-mail me anytime. You will still be able to find me regularly at www.onthelap.org which I will contribute to for the purpose of education.

Besides a new Maps application, Apple expected to overhaul its Camera and Photos apps in iOS 6
0. phoneArena posted on 01 Jun 2012, 08:57
Photos and videos will receive more sharing options in iCloud, as the Wall Street Journal suggested from its own sources a while ago. As for the camera app, it will possibly introduce a richer interface, making iOS users less reliant on solutions like Instagram and other 3rd party software from the App Store...

Here's to hoping too it can convert their videos from 1080P to say 720P (or others) too.
I had to drop $5 (not too much of a big deal) for iMovie for my new iPad, because a 4 minute video was half a gig with 1080P. I got iMovie to convert it to 720P and cut the file size to about three fifths so it would not take as long to post.
Either that, or allow a setting where you can select 1080P, 1080i, 720P, etc prior to recording.

yea, its called "take more features from android and call it innovation!".
Im glad for you guys to finally get some more of the features that we have been enjoying for years, but when you get them, remember they came from Android . :)

Remember everything done by Android has been done by Blackberry, Oracle, Microsoft, and so on.

OVIEDO, Fla. - A Central Florida school district said Wednesday it found no evidence that a school worker told a 5-year-old elementary school student that she wasn't allowed to pray in the lunchroom.
[Scroll below to watch the video]
WKMG-TV reports the Seminole County Public Schools investigation was launched after the father of Gabriella Perez, a kindergartener at Carillon Elementary School in Oviedo, posted a video on YouTube last month detailing Gabriella's re-enactment of a worker telling her she wasn't allowed to pray.
School officials said Wednesday a district attorney sent a letter to the Perez family and their lawyer outlining their conclusions and will release an investigative report to the public.
The Perez family called for an apology earlier this month, and their attorneys said at a news conference Gabriella was presented with a lineup and positively identified the "lunchroom teacher" who she says told her praying was wrong.
The YouTube video sparked controversy as father Marco Perez asked Gabriella about the incident. She said in the video that she was bowing her head when a lunchroom teacher told her she wasn't allowed to pray.
The Perez family said the exchange occurred in the lunchroom of Carillon Elementary School the week of March 10.25258508

The EADS name is being retired, replaced by Airbus Group with the start of the new year, uniting all of Airbus' activities under a single brand. Airbus Group also has renamed two of its three divisions. Going forward, the Airbus Group is home to:
- Airbus, focussing on commercial aircraft activities
- Airbus Defence and Space, integrating the group's defense and space activities from Cassidian, Astrium and Airbus Military
- Airbus Helicopters, comprising all commercial and military helicopter activities.
"For many years, Airbus has been a globally renowned synonym for technology breakthrough as well as aeronautic passion and pride," says Airbus Group CEO Tom Enders. "Joining forces under the strong Airbus brand gives all our operations and employees the thrust and lift to capture global markets."
Furthermore, the Group is launching procedures to change the legal form of its holding by 2015: Once renamed, Airbus Group N.V. shall turn into a European Company, Airbus Group SE (Societas Europaea), which will continue to be registered in the Netherlands. "We are a pioneer for European industrial integration. It is a logical step and high time that our multinational culture is also mirrored in our legal structure," says Enders. This legal conversion has no impact on the organization or operations of the Group.
The legal name change into Airbus Group N.V. and the conversion of the legal form into SE are subject to approval of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Shareholders: while adoption of the new name is expected at the AGM in May 2014, the legal conversion is targeted for approval in May 2015.

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with you on your views expressed in the Comments column of the press (Are speed cameras a necessary evil?, July 30).
But these vans should be looking out for motorists who are really speeding, not motorists who are driving only three to five miles over the limit, which is very easy to do (unintentionally) on a clear, straight road.
I myself was charged with speeding and I was only five miles per hour over the 30mph limit on a clear, straight road.
On frequent occasions I have been overtaken at speed by some "idiot" doing well over the limit. Those are the people the vans should "clock".

The Deal
- $149 for obstacle-course admission for four, valid September 12–18 ($223.44 value)
Admission includes access to five elevated obstacle courses for adults; each course increases in difficulty. The entire experience takes about 2–3 hours to complete and consists of 10–17 obstacles on each of the five courses, which range from rope swings to wobbly bridges and ziplines. Before exploring the courses, visitors must pass a 30-minute safety training, where they learn how to put on their harnesses and navigate the courses. For more information, see the park hours and the FAQs.
Flagstaff Extreme Adventure Course
A shorter and equally appropriate name for Flagstaff Extreme Adventure Course would be Endor. Spread throughout the ponderosa pines of Fort Tuthill County Park, the course's rope swings, wobbly bridges, scrambling walls, and hanging nets resemble the Ewoks' home planet in Star Wars: Episode VI. Visitors navigate these sylvan challenges—part of five elevated obstacle courses—while strapped into safety harnesses, which also help them dart through the forest via arboreal ziplines. Ground patrols and course guides add another layer of reassurance, as do the courses themselves, color-coded to signal their difficulty level. The black course, for example, is the hardest, while the yellow one is for children only, due to its simplicity and its free entry policy for invisible friends.
Flagstaff Extreme Adventure Course's newest attraction is the Adventure Zip Lines. There are more than 30 zip lines suspended from 15 to 80 feet high in the tall Ponderosa Pines. This course includes ladders and bridges and is an active, not 'easy', zip line experience. The course is self-guided, and each guest will receive training to prepare themselves for a day of adventure. In addition to the course, guests should be prepared for a 5-minute walk to the beginning of the course and walking between the courses.

Genetics Might Determine Which Smokers Get Hooked,
Duke University
Researchers have identified genetic risk factors that may accelerate a teen's progression to becoming a lifelong heavy smoker. The team of scientists from the U.S., the U.K. and New Zealand examined earlier studies by other research teams to develop a genetic risk profile for heavy smoking. Then they looked at their own long-term study of 1,000 New Zealanders from birth to age 38 to identify whether individuals at high genetic risk got hooked on cigarettes more quickly as teens and whether, as adults, they had a harder time quitting.

As An Adult Learner What Are My Leaving Certificate Options?
Posted on August 18, 2016
Each year AONTAS receives numerous calls through its Freephone Helpline from adults looking to do their Leaving Certificate. In 2015, 11% percent of calls to the service were from adults looking to do their Leaving Certificate for the first time or to complete one subject to gain access to a college course.
This can provide a second chance for those who left school early. As an adult it can be difficult to take that first step back into education, but there are plenty of opportunities and supports available if you wish to choose this route.

WhatsUp Gold network management for Bolton Wanderers.
: 15 April, 2008
(Application Story)
Network diagnostics and management software from Ipswitch installed on 400 port network run by Bolton Wanderers football club.
A founder member of the English football league, Bolton Wanderers Football Club was formed in 1877 and has won the prestigious English FA Cup twice. The club is a permanent fixture of the globally recognised Premier League, in which it competes against the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United on a regular basis. The club is also currently competing in the prestigious European UEFA cup competition.
Bolton Wanderers employs around 135 people who work across two main sites. The club understands that a secure and reliable network infrastructure is key to its ongoing financial success. "Our network is fundamental in the day to day workings of the business of football," explains Bolton Wanderers Football Club IT Manager, David Atkinson. "Both internal communication among colleagues and external communication with fans, sponsors, governing bodies and the press are required on a daily basis."
Bolton Wanderers had previously used the free network management applications that came with the 16 Power over Ethernet Cisco switches that make up the core of its network infrastructure. However, following an upgrade of its network, it realised that it required a specialised robust network management product to ensure its communications could operate smoothly.
Atkinson purchased a copy of Ipswitch's award-winning network management solution WhatsUp Gold Premium Edition to provide visibility of all the 400 ports on its network. "WhatsUp Gold provides an immediate notification of network errors, outage of hardware and has the ability to pinpoint exactly where the error has occurred at a very early stage," comments Atkinson.
WhatsUp Gold v11 Premium includes various key enhancements to Ipswitch's flagship network monitoring solution, which is used to monitor over 50,000 networks worldwide. These include a new Web application, workspaces with over 100 customisable reports and enhanced
monitoring, giving the product far more functionality and capabilities than comparably priced network monitoring solutions.
Designed for organisations that need to monitor their single-location network 24/7, WhatsUp Gold Premium can be implemented in any environment in under one hour and enables companies such as Bolton Wanderers to discover its network in minutes. All network information is stored in a relational database to enable easy and efficient device management and reporting.
WhatsUp Gold Premium can monitor and report on any SNMP parameter and can import any Management Information Base (MIB) file with drag-and-drop ease. All of Bolton Wanderers' business-critical hardware devices such as servers, firewalls, routers, switches and printers, in addition to its hard disk and CPU utilisation, are monitored by Ipswitch's WhatsUp Gold Premium. The team views the tool on a 42-inch plasma TV screen giving clear visibility of all devices at a glance.
"We set up device dependencies which enable us to more easily diagnose the problem without the distraction of numerous alerts," comments Atkinson. "However, when there is an outage I can be contacted immediately, via a WhatsUp Gold email alert to my BlackBerry, even if it is out of office hours."
Through WhatsUp Gold Premium, Atkinson has set up a number of automatic scripts that can restart services using specific policies. "This helps massively when a small problem happens outside of business hours," enthuses Atkinson. "All in all, WhatsUp Gold will certainly save us time and money by assisting us in diagnosing issues quicker."
"The goal for any IT Manager is to better understand and manage their corporate network. WhatsUp Gold Premium has given Bolton Wanderers greater real time visibility of its network and ensured that it can concentrate on continuing to generate success on the pitch," adds Ipswitch Regional Sales Manager, Mike Silva.

Our Diner was closed tonight. This is not unusual on Friday nights. We went to Golden Corral and took Country with us. She seemed to just enjoy being with us, I think. She did not have much to say, but she smiled a lot. She may have just been bored. When we took Country home, Drama latched on to DH, but she always does. All of the grandchildren but one prefer him over me. This one may, but has never shown that she does. Then again it may be because they see me 3-5 times a week and only see him once, twice at the most.
Next week, if all goes well, we will take one of the other grandchildren with us. It will either be Batman or Diva.

If you've talked to an architect, interior designer or real estate agent lately, you would know there are no rooms any more, only space. A room is confined by four walls, a ceiling and a name - living room, bedroom, dining room - that defines and limits it. A space, though, is a place of pure potential, whose uses can only be imagined, whose possibilities are endless.
The real space is like that, too.
Ever since Trog first gazed upwards and wondered what was out there, we have been dreaming of what lies beyond, whether good or ill. We've been plotting how we might get there, and dreading what we might find when we do. And we've been fearing what might one day journey across space to find us.
The invention of the telescope in the early 17th century allowed us to glimpse the infinity of the universe; the space race that began in earnest in the 1950s allowed us to penetrate it ever so slightly; the Hubble has allowed us to capture small glimpses of it in its full majesty and mystery; and the space shuttle and International Space Station have made it possible to actually live there for extended (though in truth still very brief) periods.
But it is in fiction, and especially in the movies and on television, that we most effectively imagine space, and what it represents to a species that has serious ambitions beyond - and, quite possibly, a looming need to escape - its own small but perfectly formed speck of dirt.
Space is, in Star Trek's optimistic and imperialist framing, the final frontier, a place to be explored and then either entreated or conquered. But it is equally, as Ridley Scott's magnificently nihilistic Alien has it, a place where ''no one can hear you scream''.
Space is, in short, both our best hope and our hell.
In the George Clooney-Sandra Bullock sci-fi film Gravity, which has just premiered to rave reviews at the Toronto International Film Festival ahead of its worldwide release in a fortnight, writer-director Alfonso Cuaron explores both ends of that spectrum.
The setting is near space, Clooney an experienced astronaut trying to break the record for space walks, Bullock a first-mission scientist ill at ease in the vast emptiness beyond the shuttle Explorer. They are carrying out repairs on the International Space Station - a slowly orbiting symbol of space as a zone in which humanity can put aside its squabbling to reach, collectively, for the stars - when the debris from an exploded Russian satellite heads their way.
Disaster hits like so many high-speed fragments of space junk.
The film opens with a few stark lines of text on a deep black void. ''At 372 miles above the Earth there is nothing to carry sound. No air pressure. No oxygen. Life in space is impossible.''
It's the oppressive emptiness of Alien all over again, and we just want to scream, ''Nooooo!'' We want to think these two floundering astronauts have at least a flicker of hope, like Robert Redford's lone sailor adrift in the ocean in a wrecked boat in All is Lost. More than that, we want to think there's a flicker of hope for us. For humanity.
If life in space really is impossible, we are in deep, deep trouble.
Of course, there have always been doubts about space's motives anyway. We've long suspected space brings death - just ask any dinosaur - especially when it brings life.
The Blob (1958 and 1988) brought a shapeless, rapacious invader inside a meteorite, mindlessly (so we assume) devouring all in its wake. The Martians of H. G. Wells' twice-filmed The War of the Worlds - the invasion story that set the template, really - come with a single-minded determination to wipe us out (in Steven Spielberg's 2005 version, starring Tom Cruise, they want first to suck the life out of us).
In the incisive but quaintly English novels of John Wyndham, interstellar visitors arrive far more subtly and live quietly among us, biding their time until they are ready to strike. In The Midwich Cuckoos (twice filmed as Village of the Damned and once as the Thai-language Kawao tee Bangpleng), they are hyper-intelligent children with a collective mind, a thinly veiled allegory for the communist ''threat'' of the 1950s. In The Day of the Triffids (two TV series, a 1962 film and, supposedly, a new Sam Raimi-produced film in the works) they are plants, ornamental until they become homicidal. In The Kraken Wakes, the invaders arrive as shooting stars, slumber beneath the seas and then begin to transform the planet in a bid to flood us out of existence. It has never been filmed, but its influence on Guillermo del Toro's monster pic Pacific Rim is clear.
In the recent Tom Cruise hit Oblivion, the invaders are strip-mining a depopulated Earth, using cloned humans to do their dirty work. As intergalactic humiliations go, it's pretty thorough.
But we don't fare much better when the traffic flows in the other direction. It's humans who are doing the strip-mining and the terraforming in Avatar and the Alien films, and look where that gets us - conflict with giant blue greenies in the former and with a rapidly mutating species of throat-raping, acid-spewing, flesh-eating psychopaths in the latter. Little consolation either in the revelation (if that's what it is) in Prometheus, Ridley Scott's belated return to the series he kicked off in 1979, that we humans are parents (in part, at least) to the monsters that seek to destroy us.
At least, I think that's what we learnt.
Hubris is a common element in these space stories, which often echo the myths not just of Prometheus, but also of Odysseus, who seemed doomed to wander forever, or Icarus and Daedalus, overreaching humans who come unstuck.
Greed is commonly a factor, which is perhaps to be expected given that in the space film we are usually only looking to the stars because we've stripped our own planet bare. Elysium's orbiting artificial rim looks like a pretty fine place to call home until you realise it is nothing but a floating gated community serviced by an Earth-bound underclass and patrolled by guards with orders to shoot on sight potential invaders (turning back the space boats is an option Jodie Foster's defence secretary doesn't even contemplate).
But perhaps the greatest threat in the space film is space itself. And little wonder, since the question of how to traverse it within a human lifespan remains unresolved in the real world. Transporter beams, cryogenic pods and wormholes are all well and good in theory, but the only thing we know for sure is that our nearest neighbours are a long way away. Getting there will take time. Lots of it.
John Carpenter's 1974 film Dark Star - a far more influential piece of work than its comic tone, $60,000 budget and threadbare special effects might suggest - brilliantly captures the mind-numbing boredom of a small crew confined in a tiny area with only a repetitive routine to occupy them. The dynamics of that simple scenario have been played out in countless space films since, but rarely so effectively.
If it's all a case of wanting to be there, but not wanting to travel, the destination itself rarely provides the sort of answers the cinematic space traveller might have hoped for. In Moon and Oblivion the curious hero goes in search of an answer to an incidental mystery and ends up losing himself along the way; in Solaris he becomes lost in nostalgia; in 2001: A Space Odyssey he becomes obliterated by the very process of evolution.
The space film is where we attempt to answer some of our most fundamental questions: where do we come from, where might we go, are we alone and why are we here.
At its best, the answers are challenging, confronting and sometimes confusing. And at its very best, they are rarely comforting.
Out of this world - 10 classic visions of space on film
Star Trek (various) Almost cancelled during its second season, Gene Roddenberry's TV series (1966-69) has spawned one of the most successful sci-fi franchises of all time: four more TV series (five including the animated show of the early 1970s), a dozen films and countless fan conventions. Its core message is peace through strength, the whole enterprise (so to speak) serving as a metaphor for the United States' lead role in the United Nations - and beyond.
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) Really a meditation on human evolution, Stanley Kubrick's film features one of the greatest edits in cinema history, taking us from a bone tossed aloft by a hominid to a space station orbiting Earth in a single cut. The computer as pedant and foe found a strikingly original voice in HAL, too.
Dark Star (1974) A beachball alien monster - really? Yes, but there is such a sense of inventive fun about John Carpenter's $60,000 indie flick - written by Alien scribe Dan O'Bannon (Alien, he has said, is the same story played for horror instead of comedy) - that you can easily forgive its shortcomings. The finale, with an astronaut surfing on space debris towards his own demise, is inspired - and was recycled more than 20 years later by Carpenter in the much more expensive Escape From LA.
Solaris (1972) A strange planet as a sentient being. A crew from Earth riven by tension and haunted by phantasms dredged from their own memories. A tug-of-war between living in a task-driven present and succumbing to the allure of a past that is illusory and yet so much more satisfying. This is sci-fi Russian style and Andrei Tarkovsky's 1972 film (remade by Steven Soderbergh 30 years later, with Gravity star George Clooney) is one of the best.
Star Wars (1977) It's easy to see its flaws and its debt to the Saturday-morning matinees of George Lucas' youth, and it's impossible to forgive the later travesty of The Phantom Menace (and Jar Jar Binks especially), but the first Star Wars film was truly ground-breaking. It gave birth to a generation of filmmakers and fans (yay), it spawned Hollywood's fixation on the summer blockbuster (boo), and it made scifi fashionable again. Oh, and it was (and still is) a hell of a lot of fun.
Capricorn One (1977) One of the great conspiracy films, Peter Hyams' 1977 thriller has Elliott Gould as a journalist out to prove that a NASA mission to Mars has been faked. Which it has. The film's premise was so convincing that it gave rise to the popular (in certain circles, at least) belief that humans never set foot on the moon.
Moon (2009) David Bowie made his name in 1969 with Space Oddity, a song about an astronaut cut off from planet Earth, his wife and the shirts he wears by a malfunctioning space craft. His son Duncan Jones made his 40 years later with this finely wrought psychological drama about a man slowly going mad on the dark side of our nearest cosmic neighbour. Sam Rockwell is superb, and a disembodied Kevin Spacey is the creepiest computer since HAL.
Alien (1979) Space exploration is no longer the domain of governments or a united Earth, but of greedy corporations in Ridley Scott's masterful scifi-horror-suspense film. Sigourney Weaver's Ripley cast the mould for the tough-chick action hero but, unlike its more commercially successful James Cameron sequel, Alien was far more brain than brawn.
Elysium (2013) Like Oblivion, it falters as it strives to satisfy the demands of the action genre but Neill Blomkamp's depiction of a dystopian future in which the rich have abandoned the giant slum that is Earth is compelling and convincing. With a finale in which a team of rebels delivers Obamacare to the masses, this might also be the most radically socialist film to have come out of Hollywood in decades.
Oblivion (2013) It becomes a standard action film in its final act, but for much of its running time Joseph Kosinski's elaborately plotted post-apocalypse film is a slow, meditative and beautifully realised work in the best tradition of sci-fi filmmaking. Tom Cruise gives a terrific performance that makes a virtue of his limited range and the production design is breathtaking.

If this is true, Wyatt better go over.
The Observer is reporting that the penciled in Wrestlemania Card right now is....
Taker vs Lesnar (Supposedly, this is the only one that is "locked" in.)
Punk vs HHH
Randy Orton vs Batista
Daniel Bryan vs HBK (Shawn hasn't officially said that he would wrestle yet...if he can't, I'm not sure where they would put him)
John Cena vs Bray Wyatt (/And the Wyatt Family?)
If this is true, Wyatt better go over.

So Taker vs Lesnar is really a thing...sigh.
Good to see that there is some truth to the Bryan/HBK rumors.
All credit goes to surrender!
Not enough tables in the world for me to flip. There is no gif angry enough.
I don't like any of it.
Batista/Orton is a waste of Dave Batista. Taker/Lesnar means nothing to be because I don't give a shit about MMA or "legit shoot, bro" stuff. Bryan/Shawn means Bryan isn't getting a title match.
I don't like any of it. I won't acknowledge John Cena/Bray Wyatt.
Not sure how I feel about John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania... I dunno it just seems like Cena should be in a bigger match at Mania then that.

I gotta side with Matt on this, it's not like they demoted Bryan to curtain jerking. If this match does come to pass it's Bryan vs Michaels, it's gonna steal the show. I know though that i'll be hearing all about how this is a depush for Bryan and they have no faith in him.
Michaels last 3 opponents at Mania have been Cena, Flair and Taker, quite a nifty little club.

Cena vs Bray? Why? I'd rather see Cena vs Lesner and Taker vs. Bray.
Randy Orton vs Batista. Nope. Big fan of Batista, this will be a painful match for me to watch.
Punk vs HHH. I can get behind it, but think Punk is better served somewhere else.
HBK vs. DB. Okay, I love this

"It will all be payed off at Wrestlemania! Stop being impatient, it has to be at Wrestlemania, Bryan will get his revenge there, that's the plan!"
"Wrestlemania? Meh, they'll do it later, it pays off for this subjective dream match."
Personally, I don't care, I was expecting this for quite some time, anyway.
That's all, folks.
I love the idea of Cena vs Wyatt if we can't get Cena vs Taker. Gives the Wyatt Family a hell of a rub, and allows Cena to move out of the main event picture (one would assume...).
Rest of the card... I'll believe HBK's coming out of retirement when I see it, so Bryan's position worries me. I've also see enough of Orton/Batista, bleh. The other two are fine, though I'd still take Bryan over Punk to take on HHH.
I've already talked myself into Brock/Taker because there's really nobody that I'd actively think would beat Taker this year (including Cena) and Taker just won't have a bad match at this point.
I'm like 90% sure they brought Big Dave back after they sketched out the card and said "Uhh, guys, who the hell is going to face Orton?" That match isn't going to be a classic, but they can at least tell a decent story, especially if Orton is working like he's worked for the past few months.
Punk's aping Bryan's natural match, and he's kind of been shoehorned into this, but if he's motivated, they'll do a good build and have a good match. The infamous Punk/Trips match was actually a really good match.
Bryan/Michaels, I've already said I have a total blindspot for, it's on my Mount Rushmore of dream matches, and I would spend the money even if it was the only match on the card.
Cena/Wyatt is such a wild card. It kinda terrifies me because I've seen Cena blow through these types of factions before, but then again, he never beat the Shield, so maybe he won't just blow through them. That being said, it should at least be a unique build, and I have a lot of faith in Bray as a worker.
As for Daniel Bryan/Shawn Michaels I'm all for it as it'll no doubt be a great match up and as for the others well I'm not sure I'd maybe leave Hunter off of the card and go with CM Punk/Randy Orton for the title with Punk walking out as Champion (assuming Orton is still champion by then).

Vince must really be trying to get nobody to buy WrestleMania
Really though, if Cody vs. Goldust is on the card I couldn't give a crap what other matches are on the card. However, I am nuts, so.......
First Ever PW Heavyweight Champion!
Plus it will be one hell of a match, and one hell of a moment. That's really all I care about in my wrestling-based entertainment.
I actually like that card.
For Punk/HHH you can build it up with Punk talking about how Triple H never wanted Punk to succeed in the WWE and did his best to stop Punk from becoming a top superstar in 2011, but he failed.

Start off WrestleMania with some crazy Fatal Four Way Tag Team Ladder Match. That will be interesting
Man that card is boring, I mean at least they are putting Orton and Batista together. I have no desire to see Punk/HHH or Taker/Lesnar.
"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."
Batista and Orton could possibly be one of the worst Wrestlemania matches in history.
And after months of being yelled at for thinking like that and not "being patient for Mania", this happens and all of those months of endured crap are dismissed and neatly swept under the rug? No, thanks.
That's all, folks.
They did that ladder match at Armageddon 2006 and I loved it
Also, lets say Cody & Goldust are not in it, then who would be in it?
It would probably end up being this: Show & Mysterio vs. Usos vs. Real Americans vs. Axel & Ryback.
Yeah, I think I will pass on that match.

Pfizer Partnering With Zacharon To Develop Rare-Disease Drugs
Published 4:00 am, Wednesday, April 6, 2011
Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) is expected to formally announce Thursday a $210 million partnership with Zacharon Pharmaceuticals. The collaboration is centered around Zacharon's work in developing treatments for genetic diseases known as "lysosomal storage disorders".
This partnership marks the first such project for a new division within Pfizer set up to work on treatments for rare and genetic diseases - solutions that have become more possible and more profitable with the information gained from mapping of the human genome.
Zacharon is not likely to be the only collaboration that Pfizer pursues. Ed Mascioli, division chief of the new Pfizer unit, is looking for additional collaborative projects.
