Here's what's up in the world of TV for Wednesday, December 11. All times are Eastern.
Key And Peele (Comedy Central, 10:30 p.m.): See, Key And Peele? We told you we'd make you Top Pick someday! We put you on our Best TV of 2013 list, and now you get to be Top Pick? Everything's comin' up Key And Peele! Of course, we'll miss our favorite sketch show when it wraps up its season next week, and we'll especially miss Brandon Nowalk's coverage of it, because how many other sketch comedy reviews out there make sure to point out their program's cinematic qualities? Not many, that's for damn sure!
Arrow (The CW, 8 p.m.): Now that The Flash is a part of the show, we're ready for the series to just gradually turn into a small-screen Justice League show. And you know who should be on that Justice League show? Detective Chimp! (Alasdair Wilkins is rolling his eyes at our enthusiasm right now.)
The Middle (ABC, 8 p.m.): If there's one thing we've established in the last few weeks, it's that The Middle knows what it's doing when it comes to holiday episodes. Here's another opportunity for the show to prove it, as Sue becomes allergic to the Christmas tree. Will Harris is devastated on her behalf.
Survivor (CBS, 8 p.m.): We've gotten to the point in the season when the TV Guide summaries are as basic as, "Another castaway is voted out of the game," so that means we're down to the nitty gritty. Carrie Raisler will write another review of an episode of a CBS reality show tonight. Thrilling stuff, guys.
Modern Family (ABC, 9 p.m.): Modern Family doesn't celebrate Christmas every season because it has high enough ratings and enough Emmys to keep it from having to celebrate any holiday it doesn't want to celebrate. But here's a Christmas episode anyway, and Joshua Alston will learn its true meaning.
American Horror Story (FX, 10 p.m.): With a witch hunter out and about and using silver bullets, Fiona's pondering an alliance with Marie Laveau—but little does she know that Marie hired that witch hunter. Todd VanDerWerff might miss this show for the next few weeks. But he probably won't, to be honest.
South Park (Comedy Central, 10 p.m.): As we write this on Monday night, TV Guide has literally no information about the show's season finale. We're sure something's leaked out there, but Ryan McGee prefers to imagine Trey Parker and Matt Stone frantically brainstorming ideas with 48 hours to air.
Top Chef (Bravo, 10 p.m.): Look who's here! It's Anthony Mackie, one of those actors we keep hoping will break through into superstardom because he's always so great in the supporting parts Hollywood finds for him. Sonia Saraiya supposes she'll just have to be fine with him judging tonight's episode.
Nashville (ABC, 10 p.m.): What's been happening on this show since Gwen Ihnat last checked in on it last month? Well, whatever happened, it's resulted in Deacon and Gunnar hosting an auxiliary show, which is one of those things you just don't get enough of on television. Auxiliary shows forever!
Mad Men (1 p.m.): A young man named Adam turns up in New York, and he claims to have a most intriguing connection to Don. Is he telling the truth? Only Todd VanDerWerff knows. Okay, Todd VanDerWerff and lots of other people, because these episodes aired six years ago. Catch up, people!
Naked And Afraid (Discovery, 7 p.m.): This isn't actually a show about naked people being made to spend the night in a haunted house, but it should be! (No, we haven't seen any of this, but we've been told by a bunch of people who know reality TV that it's fun. Here's a Christmas special to get on board!)
Monsters Inside Me (Animal Planet, 8 p.m.): Animal Planet airs a couple new episodes of this show tonight, because it's in a particularly festive mood. The second one is entitled "Maggots Are Eating Me," which you can sing to the tune of "Adeste Fidelis" if you really want to. Go ahead. Try it. We'll wait.
Duck Dynasty (A&E, 8 p.m.): The Robertsons put on a live nativity scene at their church, while some of them also have trouble picking out Christmas gifts for their wives. Scott Von Doviak hasn't checked in on this show in a few months, so it's probably time for him to take another look. But where are the ducks?
Kelly Clarkson's Cautionary Christmas Music Tale (NBC, 10 p.m.): Kelly Clarkson stars in a Christmas special that doubles as a morality tale, and, honestly, it all sounds preposterous and weird. Which is exactly why Todd VanDerWerff will be reviewing it. Because we like to see if we can destroy his brain.
Life Of Pi (Cinemax, 7:45 p.m.): This Ang Lee film won several Oscars earlier in the year, including the award for Best Director. It did not, however, win the award for Best Performance by a Fake Tiger, which is one of those things you'd have figured it would be a shoo-in for. Ang Lee was really upset about that.
Every Which Way But Loose (Reelz, 8 p.m.): This movie is kind of like Life Of Pi. Just replace the tiger with an orangutan, the kid with Clint Eastwood, and the lifeboat with a semi truck, and you have pretty much the same movie when you think about it. The orangutan even drinks beer! What a movie!
NBA Basketball: Bulls at Knicks (ESPN, 8 p.m.): The Bulls are struggling after Derrick Rose's latest injury, while the Knicks appear to be in absolute freefall. But, then, both teams are in the Eastern Conference, so they could probably make the playoffs by winning 10 games. Thrill as they stumble ever onward!
Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Tuesday): The last two episodes of this show received D+'s. Will David Sims find this episode an improvement over those ones? The TV Guide summary, at least, is working much harder, mentioning, as it does, someone called "the shadowy Centipede." Insect supervillains!

BWW Interviews: Fringe Spotlight: ROMEO AND JULIET IN HELL
What would happen if, at the end of Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet woke up to discover they were stuck in their own Personal Hell, listening to Tony from West Side Story sing "Maria" for eternity? And in order to escape, they'd need to suffer through a production of their life story performed by the other inhabitants of Hell - Shakespeare's dead characters. Matt Ritchey explores the story line in his new play ROMEO AND JULIET IN HELL, featured at this year's Hollywood Fringe Festival.
"The show is full of theatre-insider jokes, Broadway show tunes, and madcap madness," says Richey, who will direct his world premiere at the Flight Theatre at The Complex. The hour-long comedy previously received a staged reading at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, but its Fringe debut will be the first full production of the play.
I asked Matt why he decided to bring it to the Fringe and he said, "I directed a play at the Complex called Gearhead and the Realbot that closed in May and I wanted to do ROMEO AND JULIET IN HELL, a comedy I wrote in the late '90s, as my next show. My friend Beki Lane (who plays Lady Macbeth) suggested doing it at the Fringe, which I'd never done."
"R&JinHell is QUITE Fringey," he adds. "It was specifically written to be done in a black box with little to no set, highlighting the acting... or rather, the 'bad acting,' since the show is about Shakespeare's dead characters forced to perform the play Romeo and Juliet and none of them are good actors. I've incorporated a lot of theatre-goer jokes, actor gags (Mamet allusions, superstitions dealing with Macbeth being IN the show, etc.) It's very much a theatre piece about theatre. Fringe is the perfect place for this as the play itself is based on the idea of immediacy and lack of polish. Only a handful of gags can't be done as written in this particular environment. For example, Romeo and Juliet fall onstage, dead, from the rafters at the top of the show and there is a lot of fog, but neither of those things will happen this time around."
He's also gets excited when he talks about his actors. "I have a SUPER fun and talented cast; some I just worked with on Gearhead; some who've been friends for years (my Lady M and Tybalt), and some brand new people. It's going to be a very short and fast schedule, and I think we'll all get close pretty quickly."
The cast includes Luke Wesley Baldridge, Gail Friedland, Michael Onofri, Rebecca Lane, Nick Ley, Kevin Swanstrom, Tamara Rhoads, Wisam Mubasher, Tim Astor, Chairman Barnes, Schoen Hodges, Andy Kenareki, and Eusebio Hernandez.
"More than anything, I can't wait to see Hamlet, Lady M, King Lear, Macbeth, Othello and Desdemona start confusing quotes and storylines from their 'lives' with the story of Romeo and Juliet (interspersed with some Broadway musical numbers and game shows, of course), Ritchey laughs. "It's going to be a fun ride!"

The Australian education bill scheduled for debate in this parliamentary session is a public signal that the Gillard government is committed to the Gonski Review's school funding "reforms".
At present, the bill is harmless, a vacuous document long on rhetoric and aspiration, short on substance and detail.
It foreshadows a new funding formula that "accounts for the costs of providing high-quality education" and recognises educational disadvantage. This new funding formula, it seems, along with significantly increased resources from both levels of government, is supposed to be the route to excellence and equity in Australian education.
It has become almost heretical to question the value of the Gonski proposals, but good policy-making requires evidence of likely success. In the case of Gonski, that evidence is sadly lacking. Even worse, all the evidence points to the likelihood that these new policies will not work and come at a huge opportunity cost.
Parliamentarians considering legislation are acting irresponsibly if they sign off on reform measures involving large sums of public money without assurances that the reforms will make a difference and the money will be well spent. Spending on a good cause – education – is a vastly different matter from putting funds to good use, where they will actually have an impact on student achievement and opportunity.
A government that makes large-scale public investment in new policies and programs which have little prospect of success is failing the first principles of good government. Not only is there a high risk of wasted public resources, there is also the danger of abandoning successful features of present policies and missing the chance to invest in measures that are more likely to bring the desired results.
Legislators and the public should be demanding an explanation of how the changes enacted through the education bill will have an impact on education performance, equity and funding fairness.
In what ways will these reforms represent an improvement on present arrangements? The answer won't be found in the Gonski report. By calling for significant additional resources, Gonski ignored the evidence that more resources were not the answer to raising school achievement, even for the most disadvantaged students.
A respectable body of education research, national and international, shows that money can be spent on education with few effects on outcomes, no matter how high the aspirations and how worthy the intentions. Comparing the current investment of up to $70,000 in a student attending a small, remote school with the average per capita spending of $13,500 on a government school student against typical education outcomes is a clear signal that factors other than money are the real issue in education attainment.
International data confirm the weak correlation between education spending and education quality. A reasonable level of funding is unquestionably the bedrock for good educational performance, but more money does not equal better performance. Australia's expenditure per school student has increased over the past decade and is well over the OECD average, yet our international ranking has declined. Moreover, the main factor in the recent decline is the decrease in the number of students performing at advanced levels. The Gonski review chose to ignore these data.
Under Gonski's proposals taken up in the education bill, the lion's share of additional school funding will flow to educationally disadvantaged students. If money were the answer to overcoming educational disadvantage, this would be good policy but all the evidence shows that such an untargeted approach is unlikely to bear fruit.
Good policies to overcome educational disadvantage need to be targeted. They would respond to particular risk factors and resilience, they would involve individualised learning and they would be based on evidence about what works. Above all, they would focus on high quality teaching and learning. This is where investment could make a difference.
Likewise, there is no evidence that other major elements of the Gonski reforms – a new funding formula based on a yet-to-be-calculated (and possibly highly manipulable) cost of quality rather than real average school costs and reshuffled funding responsibilities between the Commonwealth and states – will lead to better education outcomes, or even greater fairness and efficiency.
In the public interest, the new school funding policies to be embedded in the Australian Education Act demand a closer look.
Legislators need to look beyond the assertion of benefit and demand justification for the large-scale changes proposed. They need to be convinced that public money is invested well, in programs that will make a difference to school quality and equity.
That's what real evidence-based policy-making is about. It is hard to do, but it makes a difference to long-term outcomes if done properly. It has been singularly lacking in relation to the Gonski review and school funding reforms.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/11/2010 (2459 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Damaged by fire and recently home to squatters, a boarded-up three-storey West End apartment building seems an unlikely setting for a monastic-inspired community.
But the century-old brick and limestone structure at 490 Maryland St. is exactly the type of location Christian mission worker Jamie Arpin-Ricci had in mind for Chiara House, the name of the future home for a dozen or so people who choose to be a Christian presence in the heart of the city.
"The idea is to nurture intentional community in the neighbourhood," says Jamie Arpin-Ricci, pastor of Little Flowers Community and a leader with Winnipeg's Youth With a Mission team.
"I'd like it to become a place where people can live in community and share their life with their neighbours."
The community is named after St. Clare of Assisi, born Chiara Offreduccio, who founded a female order of the Franciscans in the 13th century.
"She spent time in a convent and was a person who practised hospitality, so she was the inspiration for this place," explains Arpin-Ricci, 33, now awaiting the publication of his book about community ministry in Winnipeg inspired by the Franciscan model.
Future residents of Chiara House will be asked to adhere to a monastic-style rule of life, which combines individual daily prayer and Bible study with volunteerism, communal meals and group prayer meetings.
This is a different sort of approach to service than the usual fitting of volunteer activities in between other commitments, says Arpin-Ricci, who plans to become a non-resident member of Chiara House and maintain an office for Little Flowers in the basement of the building.
"The call to discipleship calls us to orient our life around the mission rather than organize mission to accommodate our life," he explains of how monastic vows and commitments have shaped the rules and rhythm of life for Chiara House (http://chiarahouse.ca).
Located next door to the former First English Lutheran Church, now home to City Church, an intercultural congregation, and just five doors down from New Life Ministries, the Baptist mission brought to prominence by the late Rev. Harry Lehotsky, the 585-square-metre apartment building is still very much a work in progress.
Unoccupied since a fire last May, several of the building's modest suites require total renovations, while others need a facelift and some fresh paint. When Arpin-Ricci took possession earlier this month, the roof needed immediate attention and the building's aging boiler was slated to be replaced by electric heating.
The building was purchased for Chiara House for $240,000 by a group of Christian business people who share Arpin-Ricci's vision but don't want to be publicly identified, says Norm Voth of Mennonite Church Manitoba, the denomination working with Little Flowers and YWAM on the project.
He says community members will pay rent to the non-profit ownership group, which owns the building on behalf of Chiara House.
Renovations costs are now estimated at $60,000 but Voth said that number could change depending on how many volunteers help repair and refurbish the building.
"One of my goals is to get as many people as possible," says Voth. "That creates interest and creates connections and even identity."
This project is all about connections with the people of the West End and with people who support the project financially or with their time, says Arpin-Ricci, who has lived on Furby Street for the past nine years. He says several people have already expressed interest in moving to Chiara House.
"The primary residents would be Christians in the community who want to share space and create a life together and to create a space for other people in the community who might need support," he says.
Two of the three suites on each floor will be rented out and the bachelor suites located at the back of the building will be converted to space for shared meals and larger gatherings. At least one suite in the building will be dedicated for transitional housing for new Canadians or others needing temporary homes, says Arpin-Ricci.
"It's an intentional way we can reclaim what is a boarded-up building, now an arson risk and a squatter risk, and turn it into affordable housing that includes relationships in the community."
That reclamation is welcomed by Tim Nielsen, of City Church, a congregation of about 300 right next door to Chiara House. His group had considered buying the apartment building for additional space for their growing children's programs, but decided to put their energy and resources elsewhere.
"We're pleased about them moving in and we have a good relationship with Youth With a Mission and Little Flowers and we believe in partnerships and not doing it by ourselves," says Nielsen.

Need to know:
"Much ado about very little." That was the verdict from GlobalPost's election-watcher-in-chief, Jean MacKenzie, on last night's third and final presidential debate.
It was supposed to be 90 minutes of wrangling over recent foreign policy, ongoing military engagement and America's role in the world – and goodness knows, there's enough to talk about there. But President Barack Obama and GOP nominee Mitt Romney – inevitably keen to capitalize on one of their last remaining opportunities on prime time – soon turned the talk to national debt, job creation, education policy, horses, bayonets and, er, so forth.
Snap surveys said 48 percent of debate watchers gave Obama the victory, as opposed to 40 percent for Romney. But fully 50 percent said the event had no effect on their decision who to vote for. (Take our poll here.)
Today both Romney and Obama are hitting the campaign trail harder than ever, and they'll need to – this one's set to be a nail-biter right down to Nov. 6.
Want to know:
The emir of Qatar has arrived on a landmark trip to the Gaza Strip.
Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani is the first head of state to visit the territory since Hamas came to power there in 2007. He is expected to launch a $254-million investment project to rebuild homes in Gaza, which has suffered both physical and economic damage from military conflict with Israel and an ongoing blockade.
The Hamas government is hailing Sheikh Hamad as "the first Arab leader to break the political siege." He's also one of the few people to get Israel and the Palestinian Authority to agree: both have expressed concerns that his trip undermines "legitimate" representatives of the Palestinian people in favor of Islamist, anti-Israel Hamas.
Dull but important:
British lawmakers have questioned the head of the BBC about one of the biggest scandals in the public broadcaster's history.
BBC Director General George Entwistle appeared before a committee of MPs to explain why the late Sir Jimmy Savile – one of the corporation's star radio and TV presenters for some 40 years – was never investigated despite multiple accusations of prolific sexual abuse of teenagers and children, some of it in BBC dressing rooms. Not only that, following Savile's death last year, the BBC shelved a TV documentary on the allegations and broadcast glowing tributes to the supposedly beloved entertainer.
The editor who pulled the story has since stepped down, the BBC has opened investigations into possible abuse by Savile and any other employees, and, Entwistle says, the "culture" that allowed concerns to go unheard has changed.
The British public is used to reports of sordid behavior at its famously sleazy tabloids. But suspected pedophilia, at the nation's media "Auntie"? However Entwhistle answers today, the questions are set to continue for many months to come.
Just because:
In Taiwan, a fire at a hospital has killed at least 12 patients and injured 72.
The fire broke out early this morning in a nursing home facility in the Sinying Hospital in Tainan city. Many of its elderly patients were bedridden, and would have been too frail to escape the flames. They died of smoke inhalation.
The cause of the fire, the deadliest in Taiwan in recent memory, is being investigated.
Strange but true:
It's the stuff of a million sci-fi thrillers: meteor plummets to earth, crushes cities and expendable bit-part actors, chaos ensues. Thankfully for human civilization, the city was just one house, it wasn't crushed, and no one died, not even an extra.
Instead, debris from the Orionid meteor shower hit a home in Navato, California, bounced off the roof and was later found on the lawn. All pretty non-chaotic, but the fact that one of the inhabitants is a priest led some to speculate whether the strike was cosmically ordained.
No, says commonsense home-owner (and priest's wife) Lisa Webber, "it's just science."
"It's like the heavens coming down, and history and this thing probably came from an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter – I mean, how cool is that?"

The tenth Doctor Who and his on-screen companion will join Matt Smith, Jenna-Louise Coleman and John Hurt in the anniversary episode, which will begin filming this week.
David Tennant and Billie Piper will team up once again as the tenth Doctor and his companion Rose Tyler in "Doctor Who" 50th anniversary special, BBC America has officially announced. They join the show's all-star cast which also includes Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman, who play the current Doctor and his newest companion Clara Oswald, as well as British screen veteran John Hurt.
Produced by BBC Cymru Wales for BBC One, the 50th anniversary special will be written by Steven Moffat and Directed by Nick Hurran. Filming will begin this week and it's said that the special episode could end up being up to 90 minutes long. The special will reportedly screen in 3D theaters at the same time it airs on BBC One.
Talking about the anniversary special, Smith recently said, "I read the script and clapped at the end." He went on gushing, "It's epic and vast and fans won't be disappointed. It's the biggest and best exciting year and this script delivers on all those things."
The upcoming special will mark the first time Tennant reprises his role as the tenth Doctor since he was last seen in a January 1, 2010 episode, where Piper also returned as his companion Rose Tyler. Piper later made a brief cameo in an episode of season 6 airing in August 2011.
"Doctor Who" returned with the second part of its seventh season last Saturday, March 30 on BBC America.

Maxine Waters Reclaiming Her Time Just Became Everyone's New Summer '17 Mantra
California Congresswoman Maxine Waters puts her foot down by reclaiming her time.
Kim Zolciak is a real housewife again! The blonde bombshell of the Real Housewives of Atlanta wed Atlanta Falcons player Kroy Biermann on Friday, People reports.
"Beautiful weather! Beautiful day!! I'm walking on a cloud and I'm so grateful," the reality star and aspiring singer tweeted shortly before she exchanged vows with Biermann at their Atlanta home.
The pair met at a charity event in 2010 and announced their engagement exactly one month ago — just four months after Zolciak gave birth to their first child, son Kroy Jagger Jr. Zolciak told People during her pregnancy that Biermann blended perfectly with her family, including her daughters, Ariana and Brielle, from a previous relationship. "He's really fantastic with my girls," she said. "I couldn't have asked for a better partner ever."
Zolciak wore a 32 lb. handmade Baracci wedding dress covered in Swarovzksi crystals, according to Us Weekly. No word yet on how many guests congregated for the special event, but NeNe Leakes was not likely among them.

If you love golf, don't miss out on visiting San Carlos Golf Club, one of the best places to tee off around Toluca. Rent some gear from the pro shop, and hit the greens, then finish the day in the clubhouse sharing a few drinks with golf-obsessed locals.
Nature lovers will want to check out The Cosmovitral, where visitors can spend time outdoors. Bring a picnic, mingle with locals, or just soak up the sunshine. This park will suit whatever mood you're in.

Wed 13 Oct 2010 in -36,174:
A backyard, right next to a park, right next to the approach to the Auckland Harbour Bridge
On first looking, I thought this had landed on the motorway, thus I would have passed through it on my commute this morning. Not quite, it's in someones bushy back yard right next to a park. I'm going to make more of an effort to get to the actual coordinates, I might try the Frisbee approach. Of course, I'm going to take my kite too, but not for playing near the trees. After work today, it's all on!!!
If I had been cunning, I could have timed this for a Sunset hash, but apparently I was half an hour too early. The hash was easily accessible as there was no clear definition between private and public park property (ie. no fence) hence I just rolled on up, dropped the Frisbee, and found the hash coordinates under the trees. After about 20 million photographs of my GPS device, turns out only one was clear (what's with that?).
Took some token photographs of Auckland City on a motorway overbridge. Beautiful - spot the police man.
Oh, and no wind today for the kite :(

With professional knowledge, in addition to outside black ceramic word, Rolex since 2007made the unique blue and green Cerachrom word circle for Oyster Perpetual Submariner, Dayjust, 18 ct gold Oyster Perpetual rolex yachtmaster replica. In 2010, the Rolex brand got progress on the word circle technology, and successfully developed a whole forming Cerachrom bezel for the COSMOGRAPH DAYTONA wrist watches. And, after that the design has evolved from the original black to brown in 2013, the brown watch bezel is made with platinum, which is especially to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this legendary timing wrist.
Over the years, it was impossible to make the red part of the double color ceramic of the outer ring technically. However, rich in natural resources, however, the Research and development department with rich resources decided to accept the challenge, and finally successfully combined the technical performance of the Cerachrom word circle together with the Greenwich classic double color aesthetics. After years of research and improvement, Rolex made the world's first double color Cerachrom world circle in 2013 with its exclusive technology, and blue color matched with black color. In 2014, the brand is much more successful in manufacturing red blue two-color Cerachrom word circle, and adheres to the same strict quality standards with other Rolex fake luxury watches components.
Red blue two-color Cerachrom word circle
"Cerachrom" comes from the abbreviation of "ceramic" (ceramic) and in Greekit is the suffix words for color word "chrom". Ceramic's available color is limited by its manufacturing process. In general, the formation of color is from mineral pigments, and these pigments should be affected by high temperature, the high temperature burn makes ceramic much more densely, and then get the particular hardness. However, the red color itself has no stable mineral pigment, and it is difficult to constitute a Cerachrom components. But with the endless effort, Rolex finally made it and has developed the red blue two-color Cerachrom word circle.

Are Tablets Just Another PC or Something Else Altogether?
- Are Tablets Just Another PC or Something Else Altogether?
- It's About a New Computing Experience
Why is this important? If the PC vendors approach the tablet market as just delivering another PC offering, they are destined to fail. The big reason is that a tablet is not about the hardware. And it is not just about the software either. Rather it is about providing users with a completely new computing experience. They don't want blue screens of death. They don't want complicated computer like interfaces. They want simple devices that do what they want it to do and just work. And, tablets devices are clearly app and services driven.
At the moment, I am watching the PC vendors tackle the tablet opportunity with their traditional PC mentality, and they're getting nowhere. In fact, I found Michael Dell's comments on tablets quite troubling. In a recent interview on the subject, he essentially said, almost nonchalantly, that Android tablets will eventually rule the market and dominate the world of tablets the same way Android is doing with smartphones. I am not sure he is right. Yes, Android phones are making great inroads into the smartphone space, but I believe tablets are a different kettle of fish.
It is not about the hardware and OS as much as it is about the apps and services they connect to. And to date, the Android side has been weak on all fronts. Can they catch up? Yes, but it is not clear that they can attack this market in a unified way like Microsoft has done with PCs and like Apple is now doing with the iPad. Android is already fragmenting its smartphones, and it could fragment even further in tablets given the various versions and customized apps and UIs that vendors are creating on their various tablets to differentiate themselves from competitors.
More importantly, consumers see these tablets as new screens that serve as front ends to their digital stuff. Ultimately, they will have many screens in their lives that allow them access anytime and anywhere they happen to be. However, our research is showing that they want a unified UI and unified set of services that work the same way on each screen. They don't want multiple UIs, OSs, and services that are different on each screen.
That is why traditional PC companies can't look at a tablet as just another PC in their line up. To consumers, it is something else. It is their portable window to their digital stuff, and they are looking for a total solution experienceone that encompasses easy access and consistent experiences across their entire range of screens and devices. But the tablet is the most versatile and portable of these screens and consumers really understand that it is not just another PC.
Those making competitive tablets need to really understand this. If they create a tablet and position it as just another PC, they will not make any headway. On the other hand, if they embrace the fact that a tablet delivers a chameleon-like experience and serves as a front end to unified services, then they have a chance of competing with Apple.

London – QPR's Malaysian owner Tony Fernandes has vowed to fight the prospect of a Financial Fair Play fine after his club's precarious finances were lifted by promotion to the Premier League.
Fernandes was watching from the stands at Wembley on Saturday as 10-man QPR returned to the top-flight with a 1-0 win against Derby in the Championship play-off final.
The result was a huge relief for Fernandes because it guaranteed a much-needed financial windfall next season.
Promotion to the Premier League is worth about £80 million to QPR, who were already due £40 million next season if they had stayed in the Championship as part of the parachute payments given to clubs relegated from the top-flight.
Fernandes might well need that cash injection because QPR are facing the prospect of a £50 million fine for failing to comply with financial guidelines.
Earlier this year the west London outfit recorded a loss of £65.4 million for the period ending May 2013.
Clubs are only entitled to be no more than £8 million in the red under fair play rules.
However, Fernandes has been seeking legal advice and has confirmed he will fight the sanctions in court.
"Will we fight the fine? What do you think? After all we've been through, it's my middle name – 'Fight It' Fernandes," he said on Sunday.
"My view has been consistent, that it is very unfair for a club that has been relegated because the wage difference between the Premier League and Championship is impossible. There should be a time period for clubs to rectify their salaries.
"If we were in the Championship in two years with that wage bill it wouldn't be right. I'm in favour of FFP but it is unfair for a club coming down."
QPR will not be punished for their financial results during the 2012-13 season, when they were in the Premier League, but they will for the current campaign – during which they have carried a debt of £177 million and a wage bill larger than that of Spanish champions Atletico Madrid.
It would not be surprising if the threat of financial sanctions plays a significant role in the club's transfer plans.
But Fernandes, the chief executive of AirAsia and the team principal of Formula One team Caterham, has invested heavily in Rangers since becoming the club's majority shareholder in 2011 and he has hinted he is willing to spend again as boss Harry Redknapp plans for the Premier League.
"Harry Redknapp and me are very close and the manager is already talking about new players and next season," Fernandes said.
"He never stops. After the whistle he was mentioning a couple of players. I think he is relishing being back in the Premier League.
"There is a massive gulf between us and those at the top of the Premier League but we have a great manager who has been up there. We are smarter owners and we will take our time over the summer.
"Nobody is perfect. We will still make mistakes but we will be wiser and smarter." – Sapa-AFP

In this post-apocalyptic world, people have chosen to live one of two ways, as Dwellers who live in pods that protect them from the aether (electrical storms that ravage the earth) or on the outside in tribes facing nature and a hard scrabble existence. Dwellers spend the majority of their life traveling virtual realms and when Aria is cast out of the Reverie pod accused of mayhem and murder, it is an almost certain death sentence. Aria's one hope is to find her mother who is working in another pod, Bliss, and prove her innocence.
Perry, a member of the Tides tribe, is heading toward Reverie, to rescue his nephew who was taken by Dwellers when he finds Aria in the desert near death. He shares his food and water and they discover that they can help each other. He can help Aria stay alive and find her mother. Aria's knowledge of the pods can help him get his nephew back. It's an uneasy alliance born from need and desperation rather than respect because they both have been raised to fear and hate the other's way of life and people.

Perfect Wine Country Weekend
Stephanie Pearl Kimmel has been inspired by the bounty of the Willamette Valley for more than 40 years. Considered by many to be the godmother of Northwest cuisine, Stephanie is a pioneer in the local, seasonal food movement, and has been an active restaurateur in the Willamette Valley since the 1970s. Her nationally-celebrated Eugene restaurant, Marché, turns 17 this year. Stephanie put together this two-day adventure to give you a taste of the fabulous food, wine and landscape that you'll find up and down the valley.
Start your day
The Lane County Farmers Market is a hive of delicious activity every Saturday morning in the heart of Eugene. I like to pick up a pastry from Hideaway Bakery, maybe a pint of berries from Groundwork Organics and a cup of great coffee from the Noble Coffee shop on the corner.
Get out the camera
After you've had lunch at King Estate Winery overlooking the Lorane Valley south of Eugene, it's impossible to keep your camera in your pocket. The winery, the gardens, the food and the view make fabulous photo ops. The winery has an active partnership with the Cascade Raptor Center, so keep an eye out for birds of prey swooping through the vineyards and nesting on perches along the drive.
Meet the maker
In the north end of the valley, drop in on talented winemaker Remy Drabkin of Remy Wines in McMinnville. She has a tasting room where you can chat with her about the unique varietals she grows: sangiovese, lagrein and barbera. McMinnville also has some really fine restaurants and shops.
You've gotta see this
Just southeast of the sweet community of Amity, a winding country road abruptly stops on the banks of the Willamette River. You've arrived at the Wheatland Ferry, a functioning link between the Amity area and metro Salem. It's a quick trip that will set you back just a few bucks.
Can't miss meal
Whether you stay and linger with your lunch or pack a picnic, the Red Hills Market is not to be missed. It combines the tradition of a rural market with everything that's fresh and fun about the Oregon food scene. Grab a glass of wine and hit the bocce ball court — you could very well be competing against an Oregon vintner.
Unique sleeps
At the south end of the Valley, the new Inn at the 5th in Eugene has wonderful spacious spa rooms and is right next to the 5th Street Public Market. Up north, the Allison Inn & Spa is an ultimate Oregon wine country experience, and chef Sunny Jin of JORY restaurant does wonderful things with the products grown on and around the property. Or relax and take in the vineyard views from the exquisite suites at the Black Walnut Inn & Vineyard.

Although I now live in BC Canada, Portland was my home for my first thirty years. We would drive South on the I 5 and marvel at the hops towering above all. The filbert trees. The fresh produce, truck farms, and gardens everywhere. My Aunt Cleo Austin who just passed after over 100 years spent many a weekend photographing and writing about the covered bridges. I spent many a weekend at Ocean Lake, now Lincoln City and passed Florence at her ranch in Lane County. The seafood in Oregon is the best. Next time down I will try Marché. Go see Oregon. I live in British Columbia. It is drop dead gorgeous, but if you haven't been to the Oregon coast, Powell's books in Portland, more than a city block, or the Saturday Market… also open on Sundays, more or less under the Burnside Bridge. Oh the bridges! You have lived.

Billion-dollar U.S. disasters set a record this year
NOAA says rough weather may be the new norm.
Updated 11:56 pm, Wednesday, December 7, 2011
A record number of costly weather events — from floods and droughts to tornadoes — ravaged the United States in 2011, federal scientists said Wednesday.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration catalogued a dozen disasters that caused at least $1 billion in damages, the most since such records started being kept in 1980. The previous high came in 2008, with nine billion-dollar disasters.
Scientists say the unprecedented number of disasters, including the drought and wildfires in Texas, may not be an aberration.
"We have good reason to believe that what happened this year is not an anomaly, but instead is a harbinger of what is to come," NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco said.
News Channel
NOAA noted a number of additional records set, including the Texas drought, which was the most intense this summer in 117 years of records, and the 199 tornadoes on April 27, which were the most on record for any single day in the United States.
Federal officials attributed the increase in billion-dollar disasters to several factors, including a larger population, more people with insured property living in vulnerable areas such as coastlines, and a warming climate.
"Extreme weather and associated societal impacts have increased in recent years," said Jack Hayes, director of the National Weather Service. "With our changing climate the nation must be prepared for more frequent extreme weather in the future."
NOAA's analysis of billion-dollar disasters, which includes tornado outbreaks, damage from Hurricane Irene, Mississippi River flooding and winter storms, comes less than three weeks after the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued a report on extreme weather events in the future.
That report said there was "medium confidence" that droughts, floods and heat waves would intensify in the future. But the report also said: "In many regions, the main drivers for future increases in economic losses due to some climate extremes will be socioeconomic in nature," rather than climate extremes.
Some scientists say that is what's happening in the United States.
Lubchenco maintained there is good scientific evidence to support an increased number of heat waves, droughts, floods and even strong winter snowstorms in a warmer world.

xue hua bing: Taiwanese shaved ice dessert
As you can see in the photo above, the snow ice comes off the blocks in thin, curvy ripples, and they're paired with fresh fruits and fruit purees.
A block of strawberry-flavored ice is being mounted onto a shave ice machine
Pink Lady, a strawberry-flavored shave ice topped with strawberry syrup, strawberry, litchi coco, passion fruit, popping boba and rainbow sprinkles.
Janice Kuo, owner of Snowflake Cafe and Dessert, shaves a block of mango-flavored shaved ice onto a plate at their store in Pleasanton, Calif.
Tropic Mango, a mango-flavored shave ice topped with mango, litchi coco, yogurt popping boba, mango sauce and rainbow sprinkles.
Flavorings such as green tea or chocolate are mixed into a base of milk and water, then frozen into cylindrical blocks that look like giant candles. The blocks are mounted onto an ice shaver, which slices it off in sheets - thin enough that they melt in the mouth, much like cotton candy. It's very low-calorie and low in sugar.

Ok, one more food item: I also tried something a friend described as "Hong Kong style iced tea". It looked like regular iced tea, only it had a very strong lemon taste to it. Does that sound familiar to you?

Much sweeter. There is also a Chinese tea that is cold, which has little balls of tapioca in them. Bobobli or Bubble tea.

Research papers format is a special style of writing allowing you to insert quotations and citations into your research paper. Every research paper should have its format. Sometimes it happens that the grade for research paper is lower than preferable. The reason for that is that student did not follow the requirements for research papers format.
Let us considerate the possible sources of information about research papers format.
- You can find the information about format for research paper in sample research papers. The most important thing about using format of research paper by analogy is that the sample research paper should be written by the person who is or was studying in the same educational institution as you do. The requirements for research papers format differ in some academic institutions. They are set by the leadership of the educational institution;
- One more way to get necessary information about research papers format is to ask your professor about the style of formatting your research paper correctly. No doubts, your professor can help you more than anybody else with a good piece of advice. Your professor can provide the instructions on format for research paper which will be useful enough for you;
- You may ask your group-mates about the requirements for research papers formats. But let us say, this way of getting the information about format for research paper is rather dangerous because your group-mates can supply the wrong information. You my take advantage of your group-mate's advice only in case you are 100% sure in his/her competence;
- One more source of information about formats for research paper is to find necessary information online. There are a lot of sites which provide you with everything you need.
We tried to help you with our instructions on the possible places of searching for information about research papers format. We hope it may be rather useful if you make up your mind to search the information about research papers format.

Aerodactyls are not able to be caught in the wild. You get an Aerodactyl in Fire Red and Leaf Green, from the Old Amber fossil you find behind Pewter City's Museum. Go to Cinnabar Island's Laboratory and the scientist will revive Aerodactyl for you.
As far as I know Fire Red and Leaf Green can export Pokemon to Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. You can also trade with Sapphire, Emerald and Ruby.

Hello Again,
I've been busy getting the church ready for a new minister and haven't gone out shopping at all
but today I had the great pleasure of spending the day thrifting,...and I'm excited about my new purchases.
This set is the first thing I found. I was delighted with the shape and quality of the glass, and from the wear on the bottom guess that they're vintage mid century, ( not just mid century style ). I must confess that I didn't at first realize that they were a sugar bowl and creamer, the shape seemed oddly
'potty like' to me,( I'm embarrassed to admit that, but thought I should fess up :)
They measure approximately 4+3/8" high.
Unfortunately they're not marked or signed, but I feel sure they're Scandinavian,......do you suppose I'm right about that?
Help is always greatly appreciated,

FRUITLAND, MO - A $2,200 price set an all-time state-record average price on 135 head of bred heifers at the Show-Me-Select Replacement sale, Saturday, Dec. 1.
The 14th annual southeastern Missouri fall sale at Fruitland (Mo.) Livestock Auction "broke all the records," said Judy Burton, executive secretary of the nonprofit group sponsoring four sales this fall.
The last sale will be at Palmyra, Mo., Saturday, Dec. 8.
"Repeat buyers made the sale," said Roger Eakins, University of Missouri Extension regional livestock specialist, Jackson, Mo. He managed the sale.
"When buyers see how these heifers work in their herd, they come back. And they bid more."
The MU Show-Me-Select program helps cow-calf herd owners. The program started to improve calving ease. That cuts death loss at calving in herds. Now, the breeding includes both growth and quality-beef genetics, in addition to calving ease.
The top lot, a registered Angus heifer, brought $2,950 for Turner Farms, Belgrade, Mo. The four heifers averaged $2,600, which set a consignment record.
"Those were registered, which brings a little more money," Eakins said. "But those heifers had good EPDs (expected progeny differences) for carcass grade and dollar beef genetics."
The largest consignment, 33 heifers from Crooks Farm, Leeton, Mo., averaged $2,383, second highest. The Crooks had the top consignment at the Kingsville sale the previous week.
Third-highest average-price consignment was $2,350 on two head from Denis Sterner, Millersville, Mo. He is herdsman for Kasten Beef Alliance headed by Mike Kasten of Millersville.
Kasten averaged $2,294, for fourth highest, on eight heifers. Kasten is working off-farm for the first time in his career. He directs the MU Quality Beef by the Numbers program.
Improved genetic quality added to higher average prices, Eakins said. "Many heifers are from herds in the program with six or seven generations of stacked pedigrees. Also, some herds have sent cattle to U.S. Premium Beef and have carcass data on steer mates to the heifers."
Those steer mates' carcasses bring quality-beef premiums.
"Our breeders have a genetic goal," Eakins said. "They are not just selling bred heifers. These heifers meet all of the requirements to add value to the buyers' herds. They can make more money with quality beef."
Some buyers are expanding their herds, Eakins added. The beef cycle indicates higher prices in coming years.
"Our repeat buyers know to look for heifers that were bred in first service by timed AI (artificial insemination)."
Of the 135 head in the sale, 35 heifers were ranked Tier Two, which indicates higher-quality breeding to sires with greater proven accuracy.
"The 19 Tier Two AI bred heifers in the sale averaged $2,511 to bring $406 more than for natural-service non-Tier Two heifers. Buyers pay for quality," Eakins said.
All heifers sold are pregnancy guaranteed for 30 days after the sale. They were pregnancy-checked within 30 days prior to the sale. Veterinarians check the heifers before breeding, for soundness, and within 90 days after breeding, for pregnancies.
On arrival at the sale barn, heifers are checked by USDA and Missouri Department of Agriculture graders. Heifers not meeting standards are sent home.
The heifers wear black-and-gold ear tags with the Show-Me-Select trademark logo. Tier Two heifers wear white tags.
Producers can join SMS to improve their herd genetics by contacting regional livestock specialists at local MU Extension centers.
"We had buyers wanting more," Eakins said.
The next SMS sale offers more than 300 head of crossbred and registered heifers. Sale starts at 12:30 p.m., Dec. 8, at F&T Livestock Auction, Palmyra.

This project – Supplementary Exam Tracking System (SETS) is aim to develop a platform to collaborate supplementary exam affairs among students, Registrar and Assistant Registrars (ARs) from exam department, and Bursar and Assistant Bursars (ABs) from financial department within the six campuses at Tunku Abdul Rahman College (TARC). The SETS is a web-based application that developed using ASP.NET programming language. Besides that, Rational Unified Process (RUP) that advocates Object-Oriented Methodology (OOM) in system implementation and Unified Modeling Language (UML) for diagram modeling are selected as a guide in developing the proposed SETS system. Through the SETS, students from different campuses can register their resit or repeat papers online and receive their reminded message if they forget or have not settled their payment. In addition, SETS is able to reduce the workload of Registrar and Assistant Registrars (ARs) from exam department whose jobs are multitasking in nature. Overall, the proposed SETS system is significant to TARC as it can further enhance the college efficiency and effectiveness in delivering the customer services to students as well as increase the reputation of TARC.

Commentary: Democrats' problem is more than just talking
WASHINGTON -- The day after his shellacking, the bruised president offered a sober, tripartite analysis of voters' message. First, he said, voters are fed up with Washington partisanship and special-interest politics. Second, they feel insecure and uncertain, about their economic circumstances above all.
"The third thing they were saying ... is, 'There are things we expect government to do, but we don't think government can solve all the problems. And we don't want the Democrats telling us from Washington that they know what is right about everything.'"
That last pivot is what distinguishes -- you guessed it -- Bill Clinton 1994 from Barack Obama 2010. It's what worries me about the response of the shellackee in chief to the election results -- and, even more, the response of the soon-to-be-former House speaker, Nancy Pelosi. Their instincts have tended more to blaming the dogs for not understanding how good the food is for them, not accepting that it's time to tweak the recipe.
The president's self-diagnosis in his post-election news conference was dominated by the assessment that voters had simply failed to grasp -- and that his failure lay chiefly in explaining clearly enough -- why the administration took the steps it did.
"What is absolutely true is that with all that stuff coming at folks fast and furious -- a recovery package, what we had to do with respect to the banks, what we had to do with respect to the auto companies -- I think people started looking at all this and it felt as if government was getting much more intrusive into people's lives than they were accustomed to," Obama said. "We thought it was necessary, but I'm sympathetic to folks who looked at it and said this is looking like ... overreach."
If only the poor dears had a better grasp.
I write this from a perspective of sympathy with Obama's aims and overall support for his performance over the last two years. But Obama's dismissive analysis omits the non-emergency choices he made -- primarily to press for, and in the end, muscle through the passage of health care reform -- and the ensuing discomfort of voters.
Discomfort that is entirely understandable, even to those of us who supported health care reform.
Clinton campaigned as a different kind of Democrat for whom reinvented, and smaller, government was always part of the agenda. The health care debate interrupted that narrative, and helped set the stage for his midterm losses, but it was set to the background music of a reinvented, smaller government.
In contrast, Obama campaigned on change. When he sketched in the ideological blanks, with cap-and-trade, health care, the auto bailout, et al., voters had no reason to distrust their own perceptions of intrusive government with no limits.
There are reasons to hope that Obama can adjust and reconnect. By the time of his "60 Minutes" interview, he sounded more accepting of the notion that he needed not only to communicate better but also to govern more modestly. "The American people don't want to see some massive expansion of government," he said.
I have less confidence in Pelosi's adaptability. "No regrets," Pelosi told ABC's Diane Sawyer. "Should we have been talking about it more, and working on it less -- that's a question." But, she said, "Nine and a half percent unemployment is a very eclipsing event."
Hoo boy. Losing 60-plus seats is a very eclipsing event too. It would be nice to see some recognition that what we have here is not only a failure to communicate. Democrats are making a big mistake if they think their problem was as simple as not enough talking.

When it's time to venture outside of your room to focus, prepare for exams and write that 20-page paper, the library becomes your new apartment. Being there puts on the pressure to study and leaves you feeling guilty if all you did was plug in your headphones and watch a movie. One you're in, you've got to get comfortable and be prepared to set aside three hours of your day to be productive in this one space. However, this begs the question of dressing for fashion or comfort? For many, the obvious choice is comfort, but for all Fashionista/os, it should be the best of both worlds. This Fashionista, who I caught en route to the library, proves that library chic is achievable, and comfort can be achieved in a fashionable way.
She looked ready to dominate her homework in a pair of BCBG leggings with panels going down her legs and across the thigh. She kept her sleek look up with a black turtleneck, light brown ankle boots and a red scarf, which made her easy to spot across campus. The combination of red, black and brown is done in a great way. Although I think a lot of people have gotten over the fear of mixing brown and black, it still lingers. Red and black is also a combination that comes with some trepidation, since it can reflect vampire costumes on Halloween and a plethora of different collegiate colors. This Fashionista, however, debunked all of these fears and associations and threw the three colors together like one big happy family.
The comfort-versus-fashion dilemma might always be an issue, but I truly believe that a pair of well-fitted sweatpants has the potential to be fashionable. If you pair them with a knotted button-down, flats and a leather jacket, you are already one step closer to a chicer library look. If not sweatpants, then interesting paneled leggings, like this Fashionista wore, are perfect for the job. After all, looking good makes you feel better and probably helps you study harder.

Maybe you're the ultimate home chef toiling away on hard floors in your kitchen for hours on end, putting undue stress on your feet, body and sanity. Maybe you work in a commercial or light industrial environment and need to stay comfortable standing for hours on uncomfortable floors – or maybe you just need a lightweight drain mat that both drains well and saves you time and money.
In the war against fatigue, you need a mat that you know can perform, and ES ROBBINS new Pro-Lite™ Series has something to offer everyone.
Pro-Lite™ Matting: Performance, Durability, Made in America
Pro-Lite™ Matting is the latest series of mats by ES ROBBINS that offers a mat for every need.
The Lightweight Drain Mat is easy to handle and drains so much better than other mats on the market. Their Molded Anti-Fatigue Mat provides comfort while standing for both commercial and light industrial applications. The Foam Backed Anti-Fatigue Mat provides a fantastic economy solution to fatigue in workshops, garages and businesses.
But better yet, all ES ROBBINS vinyl products are manufactured in the USA, providing comfort, durability and performance that you can rely on.
When Regular Floor Mats Just Don't Cut It
Carpeted mats and other regular floor mats provide a little cushioning and might have a little rubber backing to provide traction, but they don't relieve the stress of a hard surface on your feet, knees, back and spine.
Even if you're not on your feet for 12-hour stretches in a light industrial environment loading trucks, you still need support. Floors without give, like concrete, are pure misery for those who routinely work on them. Even if you work in a workshop, garage or other business which requires long periods of standing, the Foam Backed Anti-Fatigue mat from ES ROBBINS is a smart and sensible choice that will reduce fatigue and increase productivity.
But what if you're dealing with issues in light industrial and commercial industries? How much time, money and insurance premiums are you losing to fatigue-related stress?
Molded Anti-Fatigue mats provide hours of comfortable standing. Material science allows us to do more with less, and the Pro-Lite™ Lightweight Drain Mats show that you can create an easier to handle drain mat that does everything that a heavier, standard drain mat can do – but with less labor and less time! Why trust your feet, back and spine to anyone but the experts? ES ROBBINS has been in business for almost half a century, and they're only just getting started! To find out more about what they can do for your surfaces, visit esrmats.com.

I don't think i've made a judgement as to whether or not this is a corner case. What I care about is understanding why the current naming scheme was chosen so we can have informed debate. So far no one has told me my obvservations are incorrect. Whether or not this historical usage is an important consideration is a discussion that comes after we have an understanding of what the historical usages are. Without an understanding of why the current naming scheme was chosen, and how its been used.. we are not in a solid position to evaluate a change in policy. I challenge you... as a proponent of change.. to give us your understanding as to why the current naming policy is in place. > You continue to miss that people have already offered > workable solutions. actually.. they havent. There have been proposals to address garbage collecting which is not what I'm talking about at all. Unused libraries...just take up space... and can be garbaged collected. Used but unmaintained libraries could become significant security concerns over time. Its a hard issue.. with no clean solution. How as a package vendor do you do the due diligence to prevent users from running unmaintained libraries unknowingly. It's about being as honest as possible with the users who are relying on updates to packages. I believe that Red Hat's current naming scheme.. is a hacked up attempt.. to be as honest as possible with the userbase (inside the constraints of the packaging system) about the maintainence state of shared library packages. Is it a hack? Yep, absolutely.. but this is the role i see the current naming scheme playing. > Anyway, you've failed to show it has ever been an > important factor in the past or would even be one in the future. Only Red Hat packages who have been using the naming scheme over the multiple releases of rhl, rhel and fedora can give credible insight into why the naming scheme is being used. If I'm wrong.. im wrong. But I think a serious discussion about changing the naming schedule requires a serious understanding of why the current naming scheme is being used. I challenge you as a proponent of change, to give me your understanding of why you think the current naming scheme is being used. >Nothing has changed. Great... nothing has changed... whatever priorities have unpinned the usage of the current naming scheme are still the same and we can can continue to use the current naming scheme. -jef
