H R Giger-Counter
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"We should blast off and nuke the site from space, its the only way to be sure...."
The HR Giger-Counter is a surrealist device created in the style and thematic execution of Swiss lunatic HR Giger. The device is frequently utilised by designers within Modern Architecture and urban planning.
edit Overview
The HR Giger-Counter is a device invented by Hieronymous Bartholomew Pencil (more commonly known to as H.B. Pencil). Like a standard Geiger-Counter, it is a small hand-held device consisting of a small box with a needle dial, a speaker, and a couple of spurious twiddley-knobs. A small metal wand is attached to this device by means of a curly electrical cable that was previously used on those large 1970's stereo headphones so beloved of fathers and audiophiles the world over, even in the 1990s. The audio component is recorded from the noise that Bjork makes during orgasm, plus various electronic clicks ripped off from BBC Sound Effects files.
The overall styling is inspired by the work of H.R. Giger, which is a significant design flaw, as we shall see.
edit Purpose
The H.R. Giger-Counter's primary use is for detecting the influences of H.R. Giger on any artistic endeavour from films to computer games to deviant art entries. Should such a piece of artistic endeavour rip off any of H.R. Giger's ideas, concepts, or Intellectual Properties, the device will emit a shrill, ear-piercing scream, also know as "the noise that Bjork makes when she cums". Any such work is then known as being "Bjorked".
The ear-shredding noise so reminiscent of Bjork in ecstacy was introduced as a necessity in order to counter a significant design problem, namely that as the design of the device itself is heavily influenced by the work of H.R. Giger, it therefore caused a permanent feedback loop. This loop means the device permanently emits a significant whining noise, meaning that either a change of design was required, or an aural assault of a noise would have to be produced to differentiate against normal background readings. As it is easier for H.R. Giger's Alien to pass through the eye of a needle that it is to get a designer to change their design when they have decided it is "kind of cute", the eardrum abuse was chosen as the easier option.
The dial is just there for the deaf or fans of Bjork, as neither of them would notice the ear-piercing screams emanating from the device whenever it comes across a H.R. Giger rip-off. H.B. Pencil decided that his device should at least be as useful to the deaf as to anyone else, although its main value is probably to the blind, as one would have to be blind not to spot a H.R. Giger rip-off from a mile away.
edit Conclusions
This device should only be used by those who actually give a shit if the work rips off H.R. Giger. Seemingly, most people don't, so the H.R. Giger-Counter is of somewhat limited utility. Nevertheless, it makes a nice coffee table talking piece in bachelor pads and art history museums, or a handy H.R. Giger-styled paperweight.

Cards in Slightly Played condition show definite, minor wear. Examples of cards in this grade include cards with minor border wear, minor corner wear, very minor bending, slight scratching, clouding, or scuffing/loss of gloss on the front due to play. Cards signed by individual's including signatures by the cards artist, or cards with a professional event stamp, are classified as Slight Play if they would otherwise be Near Mint or Slightly Played. Foils in this condition will generally have some clouding or wear on the front of the card. Dave & Adam's recommends opaque sleeves for use of Slightly Played cards in organized play events.

Good Empty Triangle
Efficiency is one aspect of shape. Late in the game, especially, it can be obviously correct to make an empty triangle and making an empty triangle can also be the vital point. A good empty triangle is an instance of what the Japanese call guzumi.
Example 1 - Joseki (a)
makes "good shape" but becomes overconcentrated.
unkx80: I don't think it's so much about overconcentration. I believe that it's got more to do with destroying White's eye shape.
Bill: Well, it is a question of emphasis, isn't it? Anyway, let's take away the stone.
brindis: Just a question, why not 2 at 'a'?
Serpent: Because doing so would open the black stone above 1 to atari.
(Sebastian:) I don't see that. That black stone has three liberties, reduces 's liberties to two, and it can easily be connected if need be.
This is fine for both players, no? Black does not need an extra stone.
Eagle : Tewari analysis may show that the black shape is overconcentrated, but i think in practice the second diagram is nothing worse than the first one (i think it's better , may be just because i missed something ) .It's worse than the third diagram,not the first diagram . Am i wrong ?
corwin: To my eyes, the biggest difference in the two diagrams is that black ends in sente in the first, and gote in the second.
Example - Joseki (b)
tderz: After the unreasonable cut , the continuation to gives Black the miai of either a or b,
hence is a 'good empty triangle'. (source: Ishida a.o.)
Similar is this 5-4 Joseki, where white's empty triangle would be a good tesuji to punish Black's overplay-cut: is an overplay, which empty triangle helps exploiting. After 4 moves, the cutting stones are capured. [source: D.Ormerot, http://gogameguru.com/5-4-openings]
Example - Joseki (c)
(empty triangle) is often a good way to respond to White's 3-3 invasion in this shape.
(Sebastian:) Indeed, this is not uncommon, with 26 pro games played this way (according to SmartGo's library) only second to 'a', which occurs 49 times. And it occurs more frequently in games that led to a win. But why? What are its advantages over 'a'? (Later:) I found this discussed here, so I see some difference to 'a' now, but I'm still not convinced that it's superior.
Example 2 - Tesuji
This problem comes from the Tesuji Dictionary, by Segoe Kensaku and Go Seigen. They say that if you get this one right, you are 5 dan. (Of course, you have a big hint. ;-))
Example 3 - Middle Game Joseki: "guzumi"
The sequence of to is one of the best ways of escaping with the lone white stone at the top. makes the empty triangle and then White has a rather clear exit, while aiming for the cutting point at a (at the correct time).
here would be a mistake. plays at the vital point, destroying White's eye shape, and forcing to connect with a bad empty triangle.
Bob McGuigan: Here's an example from one of my own games (I was Black) where Black responds to a White empty triangle move by making one too. White's empty triangle looks good but after Black's response ...
in response to is good defense. creates a cutting point in Black's shape. takes a liberty from White and leaves a lot of aji against White's group.
tderz: Interesting position. (yet I think black's empty triangle is not necessary)
is tempting too - a & b seem miai now.
It is the same technique as in above joseki.
The white cut c seems far fetched with the created white weakness e.
If White wants to solidate first at at f, cutting through with black d would be possible
(resp. Bg, after white q, she cannot cut at r),
however, if replying with white d one has forced white to be very submissive (which is the intention of ) and could hane oneself with f.
Can White survive?
Yes, Wd - Be - Wg - Bf - then k (or l, smaller).
tderz: other ways for White to avoid an empty triangöle?
Perhaps not, after (protecting against the cut y) to , there is still no connection to the left , due to Black x (if Black a to white j have been exchanged),
but white cut capture at k and had no problems.
Theoretically, the black could become a target after ot , if Black tries too hard with black a to i?
Example 4 - forcing down
Example 5 - historic master games
Game Dosaku - Chitetsu, move 63
tderz: is a good empty triangle.
This a game with many local "tenukis" - , , , even in succession ! -
for keeping the initiative.
Example 6 - Taisha
This empty triangle is sometimes played instead of the push at a. See Taisha descent variation.
Acceptable empty triangle? - Hamete
tderz: from a Korean book, p.229 (ISBN 89-333-0346-4)
All black moves look completely natural, don't they? (except of course!)
Still he voluntarily created an empty triangle.
Should he have exchanged a for b first?
It's not so easy to decide on white's next move, hence the empty triangle can't be that bad and rather renamed fighting empty triangle.
Fighting empty triangle
Move 81 of the Blood Vomiting Game, diagram 6, move 7 on Senseis' page.
is the third ghost move. It is an example of a "bad shape/good move", and eventually allows Jowa to launch a difficult splitting attack that results in Black's resignation.
Normal Life & Death
Numerous problems are based on the empty triangle move which kills with a nakade shape.
(Therefore it is dangerous to tell beginners that an 'empty triangle is bad'.
One can tell them, that an empty triangle is 'usually inefficient' - but only in the open field.
- surprisingly good empty triangle in Life & Death
- making an eye
- killing shape - san-moku-nakade?

miaoshou, brilliant, excellent moves
Endgame empty triangle
More pro play
This first example, from professional play, offers a surprisingly large number of empty triangles.
brindis: some of these are not good examples; an eye is not counted as an empty triangle. In fact, there is only one thing worst than an empty triangle: filling it with a stone of the same color :-) But if you are forced to convert the inner point of an empty triangle in an eye, just thank your opponent.
The capture of leaves an empty triangle -- in fact, two empty triangles,-- around the vacated point. Since it is a capture and threatens another capture, it may be a good play, but it does form empty triangles.
Next, plays atari, catching the stones in a connect and die. This illustrates the liberty problem with the empty triangle (too few liberties per stone played). takes , forming another empty triangle, and takes the stones, incidentally forming one more empty triangle.
A little later cuts, but forms another empty triangle. forces , which forms another empty triangle. is atari, but forms yet another empty triangle.
connects, but forms another empty triangle. Now forces , taking advantage of the liberty problem. forces , which forms yet another empty triangle. After secures the corner, ensures the capture of the stones, taking advantage of the liberty problem. Finally, makes an important connection, but forms an empty triangle in the process.
This comedy of empty triangles (11 in 24 moves!) illustrates some of the problems with empty triangles, as well as the professionals' willingness to put up with those problems if the circumstances warrant.
Bob McGuigan: Here's an interesting example from professional play, Ushinohama Satsuo 9p(W) vs. Takemiya Masaki 9p(B), Meijin League, 25 January 1979. The diagram shows the lower half of the board after 86 moves, in the diagram is move 87.
Ushinohama responded with and Takemiya played , a sort of standard good shape move, but in a commentary he criticized as being really bad technique. Ushinohama played and Takemiya played tenuki with a large territorial move in the upper right corner(not shown in this diagram). This allowed Ushinohama to initiate the sequence White b, Black c, White d, which cost Black a lot on the lower side. Takemiya commented that should have been the empty triangle play at a, which would have been good shape in this situation and would not have allowed White to cross under with d.

Welfare Analysis of Changing Food Prices: A Nonparametric Examination of Export Ban on Rice in India
During the world food crisis of 2007-08, the price of staples soared rapidly. Higher food price impacts poor households more as they spend approximately three quarters of their income on food. Together rice and wheat provide more than 50% of the calorific intake in India. Apart from providing food security, millions of poor and small farmers depend on rice for their livelihoods. Using Indian Consumer Household Expenditure surveys for the years 2007-08 and 2009-10 the paper analyses the welfare generated by a ban on export of rice by the Indian government. The paper finds that the net impact of the ban on export of rice was positive, as it was able to cushion the Indian population (87% of whom are net consumers) from the adverse effects of the crisis. It also found that the poor in India aren't homogeneous in nature. The majority of the rice-producing households that stand to gain from increased prices are relatively poor farmers. At the same time, the poor households that do not cultivate rice are most affected by price increase, as their budget share of rice is higher than richer households, who are more resilient to price rise. In particular, the wage labourers are affected significantly.

OMG! A dated Droid X with Sense!
rmac 10 Mar 2011, 19:25 posted on 0 0
Either Verizon needs to revamp their software engineers or stop looking at their sales to determine when to release a phone. As has been said several times, it's old news before its even out. Big Red just aspires to be the king of old news.
You can't tell me that they had an option for the Evo when Sprint snatched it up, and arguably succeeded in establishing Android dominance. Nobody even cared about the 4G aspect, the phone dominated with or without, It was just a nice way to tell people they had faster speeds if they lived under a cell tower in a skyscraper in New York.
Verizon does have the best network, but people are looking more for cutting edge devices, than used up hot commodities in the iPhone and similar Android devices. Look at Apple. Let people speculate and hype the device by having to dig around the rumor mill from employees that are in violation of their NDAs, then announce the phone maybe a week or two out from a SOLID, INDISPUTABLE release date, and stick to it.

Stunning street art in South Africa
The Love South Africa group on Flickr is constantly updated with fantastic images taken all over the country. Why not share your pictures, too?
Each week we choose photos from this group to showcase on our blog. This week we celebrate South Africa's stunning street art. Popular and recurring themes are history, culture and identity, as in the image below.
These creative forms of expression were born at a time when people could not express themselves due to oppressive systems that did not allow it. As talented Cape Town-born artist Mak1one says '... [it is] an incredibly powerful [art form] that has been used globally to engage with and speak on behalf of disenfranchised communities for decades...'.
Now street art is going mainstream on walls, houses and in public places; and through cultural exchanges between local and international artists and initiatives to get artists to collaborate in making a difference in various communities. Graffiti and street art bring people together, be it through the messaging or through the conversations that are started near the pieces, as in the photo below.
The Viva Foundation Township Art Project is one of several initiatives that use art to uplift communities. The project is based in the Alaska Informal Settlement in Mamelodi East, Pretoria, and is about 'creating a living art gallery', says CEO Meleney Kriel.
Artists like Solo One (who painted the image above) and Daisy (who painted the image below) have given their free time to this project. The Viva Foundation says art uplifts areas and attracts tourists, which in turn stimulates the local economy. The project also involves mentorship of local artists and recently held a festival in the Western Cape.
Cape Town's Woodstock area features many such works by local and international graffiti artists. United Kingdom-born artist Louis Masai Michel is concerned with wildlife and his art often raises awareness about species at risk. He spent time in Woodstock creating this Rothschild giraffe. Masai's work speaks to graffiti's roots of giving voice to the voiceless, in this instance, on behalf of endangered animals.
Side Street Studios, also in Woodstock, is a huge supporter of this art form and has given artists like DALEast, Nard and A.Dub free reign on its walls. For more information on Side Street Studios and some information on Cape Town-based artist DALEast and a few other graffiti artists, visit the Side Street Studios website.
Falko one, or Falko, whose work is featured at the Human Settlements Contact Centre in Manenberg, Cape Town, is one of the most famous street artists in the country and many young artists credit their interest and inspiration to him. His work can be found across the country and he often collaborates with other local artists, such as South African-born Rasty.
Part of the Once Upon a Town project, a collaboration between Falko and Rasty, this image was done in Pella in the Northern Cape. Rasty says the project was about '2 artists, 2 towns, 16 days, 40 walls, 10 split pieces' and this painting was done on the first day. Rasty is also the founder of an annual festival called the City of Gold Urban Art Festival, which aims to promote Johannesburg as a street-art destination.
Another great collaboration is this work (below) by popular Cape Town-based artists Faith47, Mak1one and Os Gemeos, a reminder that art is not simply made to be placed on walls in galleries and only seen by those who can afford it. Art and beauty are for everyone, to be enjoyed by all.
Mak1one, who describes himself a 'socially aware artist', uses his work to inspire those living in disadvantaged communities to pursue their dreams and talent, and this piece, celebrating former president Nelson Mandela, is a great example of that. He grew up in Mitchells Plain, a community on the Cape Flats, and he says that discovering the expressive medium of graffiti art in the late 1980s was liberating: 'It empowered me to express who I was and what I was thinking.'
Not all street artists get full credit, though. This fantastic piece in Durban has since been removed from a wall on the corner of Argyle Road (now Sandile Thusi Road) and Cowey Road (now Problem Mkhize Road). Nevertheless, it stands as a vivid example of the uplifting power of art.
Sadly, we could not feature all the wonderful and talented artists in this country and their amazing work. Instead we invite you to come to South Africa, discover new pieces, spend money and help stimulate the local economy, then share your photos with the Love South Africa group.

Friday's appointment of Philip Green, a partner in the activist hedge fund, as a non-executive director brought to an end another turbulent week for the former Babcock & Brown vehicle.
It was the request by the activist hedge fund for a seat on the board that triggered the resignation last week of former Infigen chairman
Another director, Tony Battle, resigned on Friday, as foreshadowed last week when London-based TCI said it would vote against his reappointment.
TCI, which has a 22 per cent stake in Infigen, has been urging Infigen to resume a security buyback program, even though the renewable-energy developer has a $380 million growth program in Australia that it is seeking to fund. It has previously called for the sale of assets in Europe and Australia.
Another Infigen shareholder, Kairos Investment Management, also called for the revival of the buyback at Infigen's annual shareholder meeting on Thursday.
A buyback is prohibited under the terms of Infigen's bank debt facility, although managing director
Infigen, which owns more than 1700 megawatts of wind-power capacity across Australia, the US and Germany, has been struggling with underperforming wind farms and lower than expected prices for electricity and renewable-energy credits. In addition, under the terms of its debt facility, cash flows from its assets have to be used to service borrowings rather than be distributed to shareholders or used to build up the business.
Mr Kelly warned earlier this month that allowing TCI board representation would mean control of Infigen was likely to be assumed by interests "with little concern for the longer term viability of the business".
Infigen shares slid 2¢ on Friday to 62¢ and have lost more than half their value in the past eight months.
Mr Green, who led European utilities equity research at Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers over a 12-year period, is responsible for TCI's global utility, renewable energy and infrastructure investments.
Infigen is expected to appoint an independent director soon to restore the board to five members.

The Delta Triangle was a vast, uninhabited sector of the Milky Way Galaxy, located three weeks away from the nearest Federation starbase via subspace radio. An unusual feature of the Delta Triangle was its ability to cause starship sensors to fluctuate chaotically while within the region. This effect was caused by the parallel time continuum known as Elysia.
The Delta Triangle was a region of space known for having a high number of mysterious disappearances of starships recorded since ancient times. In 2269, the USS Enterprise was assigned to a survey mission the area, and possibly determining the cause of these disappearances. In the decades prior, the starship Bonaventure, as well as a number of vessels operated by Andorians, Tellarites, Klingons, Kzinti, Orions, Vulcans, Romulans, Humans, Phylosians, and Gorn became lost in the Delta Triangle.
The Klingons attempted to use the phenomena surrounding the region as a means of springing a mouse trap on the Enterprise, figuring that when the Federation investigated, the loss of the Enterprise would be recorded as just another mysterious starship disappearance. (TAS: "The Time Trap")
Apocrypha Edit
According to Star Trek: Star Charts, (p. 64) the three vertices of this triangle were Kessik, Bellatrix (Gamma Orionis), and FGC-82659. The S.S. Bonaventure was lost near the Kessik vertex in 2079.

Visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of Thuan Nam town set among dragon fruit orchards and the Ke Ga Lighthouse in the distance when traveling by cable car. If traveling by road, visitors must take a two and half kilometer mountain path, through woods, over the rocks and ravines to get to Ta Cu Mountain Pagoda.
The Pagoda is situated at the top of the mountain, and although it has been rebuilt several times, it retains some old features, including a curved tiled roof and two dragons attending upon the moon on the top.
In the mid nineteenth century, monk Tran Huu Duc (1812-1887) went from Phu Yen to Binh Thuan to build a house in the village of Kim Thanh and practiced medicine. Later, he went to Ta Cu Mountain to become a monk. He was a good doctor. In 1880, the queen was seriously ill, so he was asked to help, but the monk refused to go himself and instead just sent his pupils. After the queen was cured, King Tu Duc renamed Ta Cu Mountain Pagoda Linh Son Truong Tho and added the title of him Venerable Monk to Tran Huu Duc. When he died in 1887, monk Tam Hien founded a new temple at the foot of the mountain which was later known as Long Doan Pagoda.
Visitors must walk up a hundred stone steps from the three-gate entrance to Linh Son Truong Tho, a pagoda characterized by the art of the Nguyen Dynasty. To the east stands Long Doan Pagoda, with an elegant pyramid-shaped roof. Within Long Doan pagoda's precincts there are the tomb towers and the shrines built of split stone walls surrounded by perennial orchards, painting a harmonious image, against the mountain scenery.
The overall relics of Linh Son Truong Tho Pagoda mingle with later Buddhist structures, tomb tower, shrines and ponds. Visitors can view the scenes of "seven-level nirvana" with Buddha statues arranged in three groups. These were initiated by chief monk Thich Vinh Tho in 1960. The statues were painted white, making them stand out from the green old trees.
Every year, Ta Cu Tourism Joint Stock Company receives millions of visitors, especially during holidays, festivals and the holy monk Tran Huu Duc's death anniversary. Apart from Linh Son Truong Tho Pagoda which is in the final phase of renovation, with Buddha statues carved from natural stones at Ta Cu Mountain, the company has continuously improved the local natural environment and quality of services, aimed at impressing and pleasing visitors. The company owns a restaurant chain including Sunflower (at the foot of the mountain) and Eden (on top of the mountain), with a capacity of receiving 500-800 guests each; and continues to operate a floating restaurant, offering recreational activities such as water paddling and fishing.
The Lim (iron wood) garden cafe in Ta Cu is surrounded by Lim trees and the green grass. Visitors can eat, drink and relax in comfort. With Ta Cu Mountain blessed by waterfalls and swimming pool, the company plans to build a 24ha tourist resort area including service motels, shelters, restaurants, amusement parks, squares, and flower gardens.

The black-and-white preview comes less than a week before J.Lo drops her tenth studio album, 'A.K.A.', on June 17.
Jennifer Lopez is readying a music video for her "A.K.A." cut called "Emotions" and she has teased it with a preview. Shared on her Vevo page on Wednesday, June 11, the one-minute black-and-white clip shows the Latin singer looking flawless in an all-black outfit.
She's performing the song while being joined by a man who plays the piano. "Someone took my emotions/ Don't forgive me, I didn't ask," she belts out the song, which was co-written by Chris Brown and Chantal Kreviazuk. There's still no word on when the full video will arrive.
"A.K.A.", marking Lopez's tenth studio effort, will be released on June 17. The record has so far been preceded by "I Luh Ya Papi", which features French Montana, and current single "First Love". Snippets of ten songs from the album's standard edition recently leaked online.
Lopez is now gearing up for her anticipated performance at the World Cup opening ceremony. She's slated to join collaborators Pitbull and Claudia Leitte to sing the tournament's official song, "We Are One (Ole Ola)", in Brazil on Thursday, June 12.

We walked on Boxing Day, just a little stroll down to the bridge before the rain came again. It is mild for late December and the halt brought about by the cold weeks before Christmas has been reversed by the endless pulses of rain from the Atlantic. There are stirrings in the hedges and edges.
The Teme is just about back in its channel although all of the low places remain waterlogged and puddly.
At the bridge we stopped to admire the beautiful purple colouring of the developing Alder catkins (Alnus glutinosa). Alders are wetland trees and the one I photographed has its feet in the Teme. The Kew website has some very interesting facts about alders here. It is a tree strongly associated with folklore because of its colouring, and with construction purposes because of its timber properties-the Rialto bridge in Venice is built on supports of alder.
The alders grow safely out of the reach of the hedge cutters that have trimmed all the local hedges now, removing most of the developing hazel catkins. A clean start for a New Year.

Report: iTunes Creator's New Project is Apple LCD TV
Jason Mick
October 25, 2011 4:07 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Apple has its sights set on conquering a new market
earlier this year offered information from a definitive source which indicated that Apple Inc. (
) was
eyeing a move into the LCD television business
. At the time we had talked to an ex-Apple executive who had boasted of the potential of the device. They pointed to a late 2011 launch, but added that a 2012 launch could be in order given (in so many words) Apple's desire to make things sleek and "perfect".
Well a 2011 launch clearly isn't in the cards, but
several sources
and Piper Jaffray Cos. analyst Gene Munster, have confirmed our source's statements and indicated the LCD TV is still in Apple's product pipeline.
Clues to the pending launch can be found in
Walter Isaacson's biography
of late Apple CEO and co-founder Steven P. Jobs. Published by CBS Corp. (
), the book recounts an interview in which Mr. Jobs described cracking the problem of how to synchronize content from Apple devices (iPods, Macs, iPhones, iPads) with the TV. Mr. Jobs stated, "It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine."
adds to the picture, informing that while a source indicates that the TV may never be released, Apple seems to be leaning in that direction, with several sources indicating that iTunes creator Jeff Robbin has been tasked with leading the new TV effort. Mr. Robbin is an accomplished Apple engineer who helped design the company's hit iPod MP3 player, as well iTunes.
Gene Munster claims that Mr. Robbin's team is cooking up a prototype of the LCD set and could release the set sometime in 2012 or 2013. He says the release window largely boils down to what kind of LCD unit supply and manufacturing contracts Apple can obtain. Apple is notorious for driving industry-leading profit margins by ruthless negotiations when it comes to supply and manufacturing contracts.
Apple currently only manufacturers
"Apple TV"
, a settop box that runs a cut down build of iOS and can run iTunes, YouTube, Netflix, and a handful of other services. The late Mr. Jobs
labeled Apple TV "a hobby"
. Sales of the device have been low compared to Apple's other product lines.
The new device would reportedly be a full LCD TV unit, with connected entertainment features baked into it. Presumably driven by iOS, it would wirelessly sync content with other Apple devices, and could even offer rudimentary console gaming, on par with the iPad.
In that regard, Apple will look to follow in the footsteps of Google Inc. (
). Google has partnered with companies like Sony Corp. (
) to
release television sets
with internet-connected features. However, the lack of third party apps has stunted the platform and
caused a poor reception
. Google has learned from this mistake and is looking to
roll out Android 3.1 Honeycomb to sets
, adding third party app compatibility. Apple will likely follow a similar approach, offering "iTV" apps from its App Store.
The TV project presents both a challenge and an opportunity for Apple, with respect to its smart phone arch-nemesis Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
). On the one hand, the companies' deterioriating relationship presents a supply problem as Samsung is one of the largest suppliers of large LCD screens. On the other hand, by releasing its only branded televisions, Apple would strike a blow at one of its rival's core businesses, much as Samsung struck Apple's smartphone business
recently surpassing it in sales
"If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion." -- Scientology founder L. Ron. Hubbard

NEW LIGHTS and a new era - Cricket ACT wants to use Manuka Oval's transformation as the catalyst for the sport's revival in the capital.
And while international day-night matches are on the wish list, officials hope gaining entry to the Twenty20 Big Bash League will reinvigorate the Canberra talent pool.
More than a decade after the ACT Comets were banished from the top-tier Australian competitions, Cricket ACT is planning a bid for admission to the Big Bash.
The new lights at Manuka have opened the way for Canberra to have a greater impact and involvement on the national cricket stage.
They will get their first test when the Prime Minister's XI plays the West Indies on Tuesday before the Australian team arrives in Canberra to play for the first time on February 6.
Cricket ACT chairman Ian McNamee says it's a chance for a new beginning.
''We had the rug pulled from under us when the Comets were kicked out and it stuffed our local competition as well,'' McNamee said.
''The players that came here to play with the Comets left and others gave up in despair. We lost 33 of 88 first-grade players in Canberra.
''We've been working to revive the talent pool, but we've been victims of our own success because players move on elsewhere for [state contract] opportunities.
''If [we get into the Big Bash], it's going to be like when the Comets were in and attract players here and improve grassroots … it just needs to happen.''
Cricket ACT will meet with a business consortium - which includes representatives from Channel Nine and Fox Sports - on Tuesday to continue its push for entry to the Big Bash.
It costs about $2.5 million to run a Big Bash team. Private franchise owners are a potential option.
In the past, Canberra's lack of night cricket facilities hadcost it the chance of hosting big international matches and joining the domestic competitions.
But the Big Bash provides an avenue for a revival of the Comets.
Nine former ACT players have earned league contracts.
Officials are considering expansion when the next television rights deal is finalised.
But it is understood Cricket Australia is divided on whether to add two teams - probably Canberra and Geelong - or retain the same number of teams and play more games.
However, there will be at least one Big Bash match in the capital next season, with Cricket ACT already deep in negotiations with Cricket NSW about hosting the Sydney Sixers or Sydney Thunder at Manuka Oval. McNamee said the next two weeks would serve as Canberra's ''audition'' to Cricket Australia.
''The biggest thing for us is that we've got two games in eight days and if we can show we can pack people in over a short period of time, that's the biggest thing for us,'' he said.
''Everyone has to turn out and put on a show … this will give us a chance to prove what we can do.
''We haven't had a game under lights before so we'll learn from that, but the crowd will be key.
''The exciting thing is sitting here and looking at those new lights … there's absolutely no reason why we can't have any game of cricket in the world here.''
More than 8000 tickets have been sold for the PM's XI clash and the one-day international eight days later is almost sold out.
Cricket ACT suffered a blow when last year's PM's XI fixture was washed out before a ball had been bowled.
But with Chris Gayle, Ricky Ponting and Brad Haddin ready for this year's fixture, officials are hoping for a capacity crowd.
West Indies power hitter Gayle was a star in his last trip to Canberra, smashing 146 off just 89 balls.
''But the challenge for us is how to make a day-night game work for us because we've never done it before,'' Cricket ACT chief executive Mark Vergano said.
''It's just simple stuff like what happens during the night and how the ground reacts.
''We keep the crowd limit to around 10,500 so it's about spectator comfort and in the future that will change when the capacity grows to 19,000 with the redevelopment here.''

Maple Leafs' Jonathan Bernier leaves game with apparent leg injury
Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Jonathan Bernier left Thursday's game with an apparent leg injury after defenseman Paul Ranger pushed Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron onto the netminder about midway through the third period.
Bernier was slow to get up, and once he did, he hobbled off slowly with help from a teammate and a trainer.
Bernier, who had recently missed five games with a groin injury, was replaced by James Reimer, who allowed a goal but ultimately held off Boston in Toronto's 4-3 win in overtime.
Entering Thursday's game, Bernier had 26 wins and a .923 save percentage in 54 games for the Leafs, who are scrapping for one of the final playoff spots in the East.

When award-winning filmmaker Bob Coen began an investigation of the links between the world's biological-weapons labs, he took a journey to the dark side that would return him to his own roots – and expose the alarming possibility that a lethal new worldwide arms race has already begun.
Anthrax War, a documentary directed and co-written by Coen, has its world premiere tonight at 10 p.m. on CBC Newsworld's The Passionate Eye.
Why did the trail begin in southern Africa, not a place we associate with germ warfare?
I grew up in Zimbabwe when it was still Rhodesia, and came of age at the height of the war. From my early films about the conflicts in southern Africa, I got into the world of dirty tricks and secret operations. I became aware of the use of biological weapons through some of my old school friends who were in the special forces. I heard their stories about the use of those weapons, and anthrax. The anthrax attacks in the U.S. after 9/11 – which are now largely forgotten – made me think there might be a connection to the 1978 outbreak that ravaged Zimbabwe.
And the trail led you to South Africa, where you discovered "Project Coast."
After South Africa's apartheid regime ended, evidence came out that (there was) a secret program that developed bioagents for assassination ... It had some assistance from the U.S. and British programs for biological war.
Why would they help a pariah state to develop appalling weapons?
Officially, South Africa was a pariah, but it was the time of the Cold War, and South Africa justified its program by saying that guerrilla movements (fighting apartheid) were supported by the East Bloc. Unofficially, it was an ally in the fight against communism.
Which brings us to Britain's germ-war facility, Porton Down. What role did it play in the international bioweapons network?
It was the centre of British research but had very close links to Canada and the U.S., under a tripartite agreement with Canada, the U.S. and the United Kingdom.
But it also had former Soviet scientists – who used to be the enemy – working there. And (Wouter) Basson (who had worked on South Africa's clandestine bioweapons program) was there, too. There was an exchange of information and a sharing of technology. The former head of Swiss military intelligence was (allegedly) implicated in working with Basson. This is an extremely shadowy world.
Since 1972 there has been a very tough treaty to ban biological weapons. Has it been a failure?
The problem is no verification measures. The treaty on chemical weapons is good, with a large staff and inspections protocols. On the biological side there are none, and there's just an office manned by one and a half people, one working part-time. What they do is organize meetings. On paper it's good. In reality there's no way to enforce the treaty.
So things are slipping out of control?
The Pentagon's own report talks about (developing) a strike capability. Some experts would call that an offensive program. But (the Pentagon) would argue it's aimed at response to a strike against the U.S.
Another remarkable event is (Russian Prime Minister Vladimir) Putin's speech to the Duma (parliament) last February. He clearly said we are entering a new arms race: Bio, nano and information technology are leading to development of dangerous new weapons and we will not be left behind. It got barely a mention in the media.
Because it's still a science-fiction scenario?
There are plans to build several new biodefence labs across the U.S., (including) in downtown Boston, at Boston University. It's a lab with the highest level of containment, where you handle germs with absolutely no known cure, like ebola.
After 9/11 there was a massive proliferation of labs with research by private contractors. We now have hundreds of labs and thousands of scientists working with the most dangerous viruses and germs – even trying to create novel ones. One of the aims of the program is to protect us against what might be developed in the future. First they have to bring such organisms to light. We have research, for instance, on combining anthrax and ebola.
There are rules and regulations that have to be followed, but a lot of those labs (may not be) following the reporting procedures. In Congress there was a report of security breaches.
Will things improve with President Barack Obama in office?
On his first day in office, Obama outlined a biodefence plan, and it's clear that he will continue to increase funding.
The picture of biological warfare that you've put together, from Sverdlovsk to South Africa, is pretty alarming. Should the viewers just pull the covers over their heads?
I grew up in a society where we were fed the fear factor. We had to protect our nation against terrorists and communists. Now we have the "war on terror." But we don't need more fear.
What I'm just saying is let's have more awareness and more oversight. Nobody wants to look at this subject too closely. But fundamentally, what we're talking about is the subversion of life sciences into death sciences. It's very dark stuff. But let's get it out in the open for public discussion.

Immigration Minister Scott Morrison has said the family of a refugee, who died after setting himself alight, would face ''very real difficulties'' in obtaining visitor visas to attend his funeral if held in Australia.
He said he could not instruct his department to issue visitor visas and had instead offered to repatriate the man's remains.
Leo Seemanpillai, 29, doused himself in petrol and set himself alight in Geelong last Saturday night. He died the next day. He feared being deported back to Sri Lanka where he expected to be tortured, friends say.
Mr Morrison said it was within his ministerial powers to repatriate the remains to the family, who live in a refugee camp in India, but could not instruct his department to issue visitor visas to the family.
''It's for the department to assess a valid application that requires valid travel documents on the part of the parents, and this presents very real difficulties, which is why the government, through myself as minister, made the quite unusual offer to repatriate the remains in these very tragic circumstances,'' Mr Morrison told ABC radio.
''The family have rejected that offer … and that's a matter for them. I can only make the offer in these circumstances. I can't insist that people take it up,'' he said.
Tamil Refugee Council spokesman Aran Mylvaganam disputed Mr Morrison's claim that his department had contacted the family about the visa process. Mr Seemanpillai's father had received no contact from immigration officials, Mr Mylvaganam said.
The family have said they hold safety concerns about attending a funeral for Mr Seemanpillai.
Mr Morrison said his department and a diplomatic representative had contacted Mr Seemanpillai's father to explain the process and that they would need to ''satisfy all the normal visitor visa rules'', including travel documents.
''But the visa process here is very clear and the department will have to assess that application. It is not available to the minister to instruct the department in issuing a visitor visa in circumstances like this and they will have to apply the law as it stands,'' he said.

Simulation felt pretty easy. I ran at a sustainable long-run heart rate with one quick stop to roll out a problem calf (Achilles was barking, and I know better than to wreck those during hill season) I ended up going through a full 4 1-quart bottles. It's 70 degrees in my basement. My shoes were like wet bricks at the end. So, 2 1/2 hours of slog followed by 20 sets of 10 step ups, alternating legs on my patio garden wall (18 inches or so). I thought my legs would be burning afterward, but they weren't. I'll throw a sack of birdseed in a backpack and try a couple more sets this week before I lay off for a taper.
I'll say one thing. I've done quite a few uphill slogs on that treadmill at 15%, and 11% feels half as difficult. Altitude will be the real wildcard, I guess.

CAMPAIGNERS trying to save threatened services at a Westhoughton care home have reacted furiously to a councillor's claims their petition was "misleading".
The petition — which attracted more than 1,000 signatures before being submitted to Bolton Council last Wednesday — urged the local authority to scrap plans to end intermediate and respite care at Winifred Kettle Community Care Centre.
The move is part of a major shake-up of health provision in Bolton, which will also see Firwood House in Crompton Way close, with the overall aim being to see more people cared for in their own homes.
Cllr Christopher Peacock, for Westhoughton North and Chew Moor, and cabinet member for adults and social care, welcomed the petition but criticised it for failing to "fully explain the situation".
The Labour Party in Westhoughton has since produced a leaflet, distributed to all homes in the town, stressing that Winifred Kettle will not be closing.
Campaigner Gwendoline Parr said she felt insulted by Cllr Peacock's comments, as she and Cllr Lynda Winrow-Baker had spent hours in the cold and rain speaking to people.
An online petition, which has attracted 1,350 signatures, titled "Help Save Winifred Kettle Care Home in Westhoughton", makes clear the changes only affect intermediate and respite care.
Cllr Lynda Winrow-Baker, for Daisy Hill, said: "I can assure you I did not mislead people in any way."
The Westhoughton Labour leaflet also makes reference to people who would otherwise have applied for a respite bed at Winifred Kettle.
Mrs Parr said: "The petition did not suggest that the home would be closing.
"We are also not campaigning so Westhoughton people can benefit, but so anyone can benefit, as I know people in Deane, for instance, who have benefited from being there.
"Where is the evidence that people want to be treated at home rather than Winny Kettle?"
Cllr Peacock added: "This has been framed as services leaving the town, when only 10 per cent of the people in Winifred Kettle's beds last year were from Westhoughton.
"Each patient wanting a bed in respite care will be consulted and offered a suitable alternative locally.
"In and around Westhoughton means exactly that, we have one care home currently offering that care with another set to open at the old Red Lion soon."

No spring thaw in job market
One of the many good things about the arrival of spring is politicians, economists and other policymakers can no longer blame the winter weather for the slow economy and the grinding pace of job growth.
The employment report for March, indicates weather did not have as negative an impact in January and February as originally believed; job tallies for those months were revised upward.
Accordingly, the springtime bounce in employment was not as great as anticipated. The 192,000 new jobs created in March fell short of the consensus forecast for stronger growth.

Budget Talk from the Pentagon Comptroller
Defense spending is expected to decline, possibly sharply. There have been big drawdowns before. What's different now?
What is different is the seriousness of the economic crisis facing our nation. So we know we need to find a way to have an adequate national security and do it with less money.
You've said everything is on the table. Are there no red lines?
We're still in a shooting war in Afghanistan. We're still working to complete the military mission in Iraq. We're supporting a mission in Libya. Even if all of those were to go away, unfortunately there are other countries that I think really pose some threats to us: Iran, North Korea. There are nonstate actors, such as al-Qaeda, that remain threats. There's the cyberwar (in which) we are being attacked regularly. There are a lot of threats out there. The main redline is: We need to meet them.
Any specifics on cuts? For example, would you eliminate the U.S. Marine Corps or shrink the aircraft carrier fleet?
We're not going to get rid of the Marine Corps. But would we look at smaller force structure? Yeah, absolutely. I'm not saying we're going to get rid of a carrier, but we will have to look at aircraft, ships. We're going to have to look at our strategy, take some modest additional risk that both the President and the Secretary (of Defense) can accept, and probably have fewer forces and a slower modernization program.
You're reviewing cuts now of about $330 billion over 10 years. If the supercommittee fails, an automatic "sequester" would more than double the cut. Are you preparing for that?
We're doing some broad "what if" drills. But we aren't doing any detailed planning. Jack Lew, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, put it well on a blog when he said, look, that sequester, if the committee fails to do its job, is not meant to be policy. It's meant to be an incentive to convince the Congress they really do need to pass a balanced deficit reduction plan.
You spend about $400 billion a year on contractor services. Is that in the mix?
Well, absolutely. The $400 billion is about two-thirds of our budget. It's more than services in that 400; it's all the weapons. But services are maybe half of that. We buy a lot of services from the private sector. We can't run the Pentagon without contractors. We're not going to get rid of them. But we are looking (at) support activities—we could probably cut a lot of data centers, for example, that are contracted to private companies. If we can consolidate them, we'll probably save some money.
The Defense Business Board recommended a 401(k)-like system for military retirement instead of a pension. Is that worth considering?
It'll be an option we'll want to look at, but I'm not sure we want to do anything. We've got to pay a competitive wage for a job that's pretty stressful and demanding, and we want high-quality people in the uniformed military. Both keeping faith with the troops and making sure we can still recruit and retain people are important principles, and I hope you'll underscore we have not made any decisions.
Health-care premiums are expected to rise. Are there more proposals in the pipeline to reduce military health-care costs?
Everything is on the table, and that will have to include it. But there are some principles we'll maintain. First and foremost, we're not going to do anything that will impact the health care we provide to our military and retirees. Second, we're going to have to be reasonable and fair with regard to any changes in benefits and phase them in.
We've reviewed past declines, post-Korea, post-Cold War. If you look at those, an automatic cutback of $825 billion that's spread over 10 years doesn't look all that scary.
The 10-year decline after the Cold War was about 25 percent. If you go back to the Korean War, it was about 40 percent. That was a long time ago. We have to acknowledge that some of the past drawdowns have not worked as well as they should have. We underfunded procurement after the Cold War. After Vietnam, we underfunded readiness, and we got the so-called hollow force. – Interviewed by Gopal Ratnam

The mission of Wildlife Services is to safeguard public health and safety, and to protect Napa County agriculture, industrial and natural resources through the science and practice of wildlife animal damage control.
Wildlife Services is a cooperative program between the United States Department of Agriculture and Napa County, and is responsible for the control of non-domestic animals such as skunks, opossums, raccoons, beavers, coyotes, mountain lions, bears, and damaging birds that pose a threat to human or animal health and safety, or cause damage to property, agriculture or livestock.
The main goal of the program is to remove only the animals that are causing the problem.
To contact the Federal Trapper assigned to Napa County, call (707) 253-4357 weekdays between the hours of 8:00 a.m. -5:00 p.m.
People and wildlife can co-exist more easily if people are willing to take a few proactive and preventive measures. Simple adjustments around the home and garden can help prevent conflicts.
Garbage "raiding" is the leading attraction for wildlife large and small. The best way to safely keep wildlife out of your yard is to better manage your trash. Store cans inside a shed or garage in between pick-ups and secure lids with bungee cords or use a twist-on lid. Place cans at the curb on the day of trash collection, not the night before.
Don't leave pet food outdoors. Feed your cats, dogs and other animals the amount of food they will eat, and remove/store the rest. Pet food left outdoors can become a source of food for wild animals and create a potential for an unwanted encounter. Another tip is to close pet doors at night and not place pet food next to the pet door. Skunks will often enter a home through pet doors.
Make your yard unattractive to hungry raccoons, coyotes, opossums and others by removing bird feeders during summer and keeping barbeque grills clean. Even non-food products such as candles, sunscreen and insect repellent may attract some animals, so keep those items indoors when not in use.
Remove potential hiding places, such as rock and wood piles, and seal off access to areas under decks and storage sheds. Be sure to cut off access to attics by sealing potential entry holes. Pay particular attention to screening on attic ventilation. The insect screens typically installed in these areas are easily penetrated by wild animals.
Safely scare wildlife away with devices that move, make noise or spray water. Try hanging aluminum pans and foil, mylar party balloons or plastic streamers.
Trim branches away from your house to limit access for climbing wildlife and be sure to keep the foundation of your home clear of debris. Check all limbs for bird and squirrel nest before trimming.
An uncapped chimney is an open invitation to raccoons or squirrels looking for a snug place to raise their young. Install an appropriate chimney cap after inspecting the flue to make sure animals are not nesting there.

Why accessibility is important to us
At the Arts Council we believe that art is universal in its appeal, and it should be made available to and enjoyed by, everyone, everywhere. That's why we've worked hard to ensure that our website is accessible to people with disabilities. This in turn helps to create a more user friendly experience for all visitors to our site.
What we've done to help accessibility
In order to reach a high level of accessibility, we've worked hard with our partners Abilitynet to follow the international accessibility guidelines provided by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C WCAG 2). In addition, and in recognition of the fact that following the guidelines is just one part of measuring accessibility, we've also planned to work with real users to find out how people will be using our website, and what else we can do to make it easier to use. This is a high priority for us and it will remain an essential part of our website and digital strategy.
The key areas we've improved on our site to meet the guidelines include
Keyboard accessibility: Any user who has difficulty using their mouse may find it easier to navigate the web using their keyboard. We've made sure that all functionality is accessible from the keyboard.
Screenreader accessibility: Users with little to no useful vision often use software called a screenreader. This reads out onscreen content using synthetic speech, and allows people with little to no useful vision access to website providing they are marked up appropriately. We've made sure that input fields in forms are all labeled properly, and user interface elements like tabs, are designed to be accessible for screenreader users.
Flexible layout: We have designed our website to be responsive, so that it works equally on computers, phones, and tablets. This also allows the site to scale easily as you zoom in, making it more usable.
In addition, we strive to make the website more usable for everyone by:
- Making good use of headings, and white space, to make content easier to read
- Having a consistent navigation structure, so it is easy to tell where you are, and how to get elsewhere
- Using colours that provide good contrast; particularly important as we recognise that you may be reading our website on your phone and outside in the open
How to adjust your computer to make websites easier to see and use
There are some changes you can make to your computer to make any website, including ours, easier to see and use on your computer, mobile phone, or tablet. We have listed some useful resource below to help you do this. You can also take a look at My Computer My Way a resource developed by AbilityNet with support from Microsoft and the BBC as a source of accessibility help for all computer users. This unique resource explains all the accessibility features available in popular desktop computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones, including Windows, Mac OSX, iOS, Android and Windows Phone. All of these devices have features that enable people to adapt their computer to suit their needs, such as changing the colours and text size or using voice activation. Take a look at My Computer My Way to find out more about what features you could be using.
If you have dyslexia, or difficulty reading content:
You may find that changing the colours on screen, using larger text, or using a different font, will be helpful.
The following links describe some ways you can adjust your device:
If you have a vision impairment:
You may find content difficult or impossible to read onscreen.
A free option, which is built into the majority of devices, is the ability to zoom in on content. On a computer, this can be done in your web browser by holding down the control key (ctrl), and then using the mouse wheel to zoom in and zoom out. Keyboard users can do the same by using ctrl and + to zoom in, and ctrl and – to zoom out.

Working with disabled user groups to improve the accessibility of our website
We are working with our partners AbilityNet, a UK charity specialising in digital accessibility and helping people with disabilities, to engage with the disabled community to further improve our website. So far we have completed testing of our new website to help us follow the W3C WCAG guidelines. In the near future we will begin actively testing our website by working with disabled user groups to get direct feedback on any usability and accessibility issues affecting our website, and find out users make use of our website. Both of these approaches will mean we really make the site as usable and accessible as possible later this year and improve the overall experience for all of our users.
Future plans
We recognise that websites change over time; they evolve as content is added, behaviour changes, and features are added and removed. We know that it is important to ensure accessibility is considered throughout this process. We will do everything we can to make our website more usable and accessible for everyone and will carry out regular reviews working with disabled and access user groups. We are also currently reviewing our sister websites for Arts Jobs & News, Grantium and our virtual press office.
We would love to have your feedback so that we can continue to improve our website, and help with any difficulties you may encounter. If you have any feedback or are finding difficulties using our website please contact us by email, phone or our contact form.

The American jobs market appears to be strengthening, according to new data. The Labor Department announced Thursday that the number of people filing claims for jobless benefits averaged 346,750 over the past month, the lowest level since March 2008.
In a sign the positive trend could continue, the report indicated that first-time jobless claims fell to 332,000 in the week ended March 9. That's the fewest weekly claims since mid-January, beating the median forecast for the week of nearly 50 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. "This is better than we could have expected," Lou Crandall, chief economist for research firm Wrightston Icap, told Bloomberg News. "We're slowing the pace of layoffs, which is a good first step. Things appear to be improving."
As stocks shot higher last week, the Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index reached minus 31.6, the highest reading since April. For six consecutive months the index has increased, rising by almost six points. Earlier this month, the federal government released a report that showed that 236,000 jobs were created in February and that the unemployment rate had dropped from 7.9% to 7.7%.
