Witnesses gone wild
Congress used to be known for hauling Cabinet officials, CEOs and bureaucrats up to the Hill for public floggings.
But these days it's not so clear who's really on the hot seat.
Story Continued Below
The new playbook for congressional witnesses is to punch back at lawmakers — a move with little risk, since Congress is less popular than traffic jams.
( PHOTOS: IRS hearing on Capitol Hill)
Lots of witnesses are using it these days — and others might at an IRS hearing Wednesday in the House.
Steven Miller, the ousted acting IRS commissioner who's essentially a free agent, keeps testifying that he didn't hide the targeting of conservative groups from Congress — he just answered the questions exactly how they were asked.
Apple CEO Tim Cook, at a separate Senate hearing Tuesday, said he was "proud of our contributions to the American economy" even as he defended the company from charges that it lowered its taxes by sending billions of dollars to other countries.
( PHOTOS: 8 key players in IRS scandal story)
Of course, duck and cover still works too: Lois Lerner, the IRS official who heads the office at the center of the scandal is planning to take the Fifth. But Neal S. Wolin, the deputy Treasury secretary who knew about the inspector general audit, will also be at the witness table Wednesday at the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing — and he is a veteran testifier.
A former senior Obama administration official familiar with congressional preparations said there's a common refrain for members of Team Obama when dealing with aggressive GOP attacks. "The constant advice and the wise course is to not let them get under your skin. And they're really good at getting under your skin," the former administration official said.
But there's still a good reason for push back, the former official added. "The reaction is partly born out of having nothing more to lose and possibly everything to gain," the source said. "Trying to be respectful and fact based doesn't buy any comity or respect. They pay no price for being disrespectful in a hearing and neither do the witnesses."
( PHOTOS: Fifth Amendment use on the Hill)
Hillary Clinton scolded her Senate questioners during Benghazi hearings in January. Eric Holder interrupted Rep. Darrell Issa at a House hearing last week, calling out the Republican congressman's conduct as "unacceptable" and "shameful."
White House and other administration officials insist there's no war room or any other coordinated strategy from above to coach Cabinet members on what to say at hearings. Instead, they've left it to the individuals to gear up for the onslaught.

As we've gone about charting our course on what what the next generation of mobile, social enterprise software should look like, we've drawn inspiration from a number of different sources: problems in collaboration that we ourselves have, innovative consumer apps, entrepreneurs and advisors, and of course, from the theory and research of others.
One such theory that has greatly influenced us in the development of enterprise mobile apps is the concept of "social objects" or "object centered sociality."
The first known research in this area was by sociologist Karin Knorr Cetina in her 1997 paper "Sociality with Objects: Social Relations in Postsocial Knowledge Societies." In this paper, Cetina argues that objects, not people, are the glue that holds human relationships together:
"A strong thesis of 'objectualization' would imply that objects displace human beings as relationship partners and embedding environments, or that they increasingly mediate human relationships, making the latter dependent on the former."
Entrepreneur Jyri Engestrom (Jaiku, Ditto) applied this theory to the online world in his seminal 2005 post on what makes a successful social network, and goes so far as to say that Social Objects need to be part of the definition of what constitutes a social network:
"The fallacy is to think that social networks are just made up of people. They're not; social networks consist of people who are connected by a shared object."
But perhaps the clearest definition I've seen of the Social Object comes from blogger, marketer, and cartoonist Hugh McLeod, of GapingVoid fame:
"The Social Object, in a nutshell, is the reason two people are talking to each other, as opposed to talking to somebody else. Human beings are social animals. We like to socialize. But if think about it, there needs to be a reason for it to happen in the first place. That reason, that "node" in the social network, is what we call the Social Object."
In real life, social objects can be everything from a sports team to a shared interest in a musician to a person known in common.
Online, these social objects vary from service to service. On location based networks like Yelp and Foursquare, the social object is typically a bar or restaurant. On Flickr and Facebook, the primary social object is the photograph. On Plancast and Eventbrite, it's the event.
So, to summarize: social objects are those little bits of structure that serve as the excuse / impetus / nudge to bring people together.
Social Objects in the Workplace
If the social fabric of one's non-work life is held together by social objects, what can we make of the workplace?
Just like the consumer world, the workplace is teeming with objects around which people connect and collaborate. But as opposed to things like photos, videos, and bars, the enterprise is structured around "work objects" such as customers, projects, products, job candidates, investors, software, and more.
Given the fact that the vast majority of employees don't have a say in choosing their co-workers, we believe that the influence of shared work objects is perhaps even stronger than it is in a non work environment. In many companies, shared objects such as projects and tasks would seem to be the only reason that a given set of people collaborate. We might even go so far as to say that work objects define the workplace's network of relationships.
Which brings us to a key question: if our work is structured around mission critical objects like customers and projects, why isn't the dominant collaboration tool of the enterprise, email, built around those same objects, like Facebook is for photos, or YouTube is for videos?
Email is not Architected for Work
If you believe that the workplace is structured around work objects, it would be make sense that enterprise software would reflect these crucial nodes.
And some enterprise software does. QuickBooks, for example, is built around structured objects for Customers, Vendors, Employees, and more. Project management software Liquid Planner is built around tasks and projects.
Email, on the other hand, is made up of two structured objects (senders and recipients), and a bunch of free form text (subject line and body). Gmail brute forces a third type of object into the mix: Conversations, or the forced grouping of emails into the same thread.
Given this architecture, it's not surprising that email does an extremely poor job of handling the real work objects of the enterprise - things like customers and projects. Users are forced to try and manage these shortcomings by creating Customer and Project folders, adding priority levels, and adding tags. None of these are optimal, and each are designed to mask the real flaw of email - that it's not structured in a way that matches the work at hand.
Structure In, Structure Out
One final comment on our fascination with work objects. As a software developer, if you are able to capture structured data on the input side, you are able to easily provide structured analytics regarding the output.
As a data point, compare the stiff competition in the social media monitoring space between companies like Radian6, Trackur, Visible Technologies, and more. These services sprang up to make sense of the firehouse of free form text that is Twitter. Their challenge is enormous - to try and create structured reports out of an impossibly unstructured flow of data.
It's not just brands and companies with a thirst for a bit of structure on Twitter. Twitter users themselves invented the hashtag hack as a means to self organize around themes and topics.
As a comparison, Foursquare users face no such trouble. Tips and check-ins are neatly structured around defined social objects - venues - and are automatically trackable and understandable. There will be no arms race of services designed to parse Foursquare data. It's already parsed.
If you are able to capture structure on the input side, you can provide structure on the output side in the form of compelling reports and analytics. This is yet another failing of enterprise email. Why isn't it possible for me to pull up a list of messages related to a particular customer or project regardless of sender, without manually sorting them in folders?
A Disconnect and an Opportunity
OK, let's review our assumptions:
1) Human interactions and engagement revolve around Social Objects
2) Social Objects also exist in the workplace ("Work Objects"), such as customers, projects, and products
3) The current dominant collaboration app in the enterprise, Email, does a poor job of organizing content and engagement around work objects.
4) Structure on the input side allows for superior data organization and analytics
5) This disconnect between email and work objects is a problem (for companies), and an opportunity (for vendors).
This is the opportunity we are trying to address with the DoubleDutch Enterprise App Suite, why our design principle is "tapping not typing," and why we love the check in gesture.
Feedback welcome.

Congressman Chris Collins Named to Agriculture Subcommittees
As the House Agriculture Committee held its first meeting of the 113th Congress, the Committee's Chairman appointed Congressman Chris Collins (NY-27) to the following Subcommittees:
General Farm Commodities and Risk Management (Jurisdiction: Program and markets related to cotton, cottonseed, wheat, feed grains, soybeans, oilseeds, rice, dry beans, peas, lentils, the Commodity Credit Corporation, risk management, including crop insurance, commodity exchanges, and specialty crops); and
Horticulture, Research, Biotechnology, and Foreign Agriculture (Jurisdiction: Fruits and vegetables, honey and bees, marketing and promotion orders, plan pesticides, quarantine, adulteration of seeds and insect pests, and organic agriculture, research, education and extension, biotechnology, and foreign agriculture assistance, and trade promotion programs, generally).
"I am excited to hit the ground running and get to work on the issues that matter to our farmers," said Collins. "Agriculture is a primary economic driver in NY-27 and the issues debated and decided on by the House Agriculture Committee and its various Subcommittees directly impact not only our local farmers and their families, but our entire region. Our primary goal must be to pass a comprehensive five-year Farm Bill to give our farmers the support and long-term stability they deserve."
Earlier this month, Collins met with about 40 farmers in Batavia to discuss agriculture issues and hear what they most want to see as part of a new Farm Bill. In the near future, Collins will establish a formal and active Agriculture Advisory Committee.

The FDA is strengthening its warning that a popular class of antibiotics, called fluoroquinolones, may cause sudden, serious, and potentially permanent nerve damage called peripheral neuropathy.
Fluoroquinolones are antibiotics that are commonly used to treat a variety of illnesses such as respiratory and urinary tract infections. These medicines include ciprofloxacin (Cipro), gemifloxacin (Factive), levofloxacin (Levaquin), moxifloxacin (Avelox), norfloxacin (Noroxin), and ofloxacin (Floxin). More than 23 million patients received a prescription for one of them in 2011.
Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves that send information to and from the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body. Damage interrupts this connection, and the symptoms depend on which nerves are affected. In general, the symptoms are in the arms and legs and include numbness, tingling, burning, or shooting pain.
Peripheral neuropathy has been listed as a side effect of fluoroquinolones since 2004. There have been reports of long-lasting nerve damage and disability in patients taking this type of medication.
A recent FDA review revealed that the existing warnings for fluoroquinolones were inadequate. The FDA's newest alert requires that all drug labels and medication guides for fluoroquinolones be updated to better emphasize the risk for serious and potentially irreversible peripheral neuropathy.
This is not the first serious warning for fluoroquinolones. In 2008, the FDA required a boxed warning, the most serious type of warning, to be added to the medications, alerting patients of the risk of tendon damage and rupture.

To help its readers meet that challenge, Rotor & Wing has gathered snapshots of what some of this year's exhibitors plan to show on the floor of Heli-Expo 2007 in Orlando, Fla. True to the nature of the burgeoning show, there are more snapshots than we can fit on these pages. So if you are in Orlando and want more of a sneak peak (or couldn't make the show, but are curious what you may be missing), check our Web site for more tidbits on the floor action.
Now, on to that action.
Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. (www.pwc.ca) has a number of booths at Heli-Expo 2007. The company proper is in Booth 100. Pratt & Whitney Canada Tooling Solutions is at Booth 201. Pratt & Whitney Canada Aerospace Component Solutions can be found at Booth 205. Altair Avionics is in Booth 300, and Pratt & Whitney Canada Tool Support Services is at Booth 304. Among the products PWC is displaying is the new-generation PW210, a 1,000-shp-class engine for large, single-engine and intermediate/ medium, twin-engine helicopters offering improvements in power-to-weight ratio and fuel burn. The PW210S will power the Sikorsky S-76D, and successfully completed its first run in October 2006.
FlightSafety International's (www.flightsafety.com) display at Booth 217 is featuring an advanced Bell 206 flight training device. The trainer will be available for attendees to evaluate first hand. "We have something of interest for you regardless of the rotorcraft you operate, but light and mid-size rotorcraft operators in particular should make it a point to stop by," said George Ferito, FlightSafety's director of rotorcraft business development.
Simplex Manufacturing (www.simplexmfg.com) is bringing an assortment of new products to the show. The company, celebrating 61 years of manufacturing helicopter mission-support equipment, will be displaying its latest advances in firefighting and rescue equipment at Booth 1401.
One of its newest products, the high-pressure washer, has attracted the attention of the power utility industry as a solution for insulator contamination.
FLYIT Simulators (www.flyit.com) is introducing financing as low as 0 percent and free delivery of its training products in the continental United States," said President Terry J. Simpkins. FLYIT is exhibiting its Professional Helicopter Simulator for the seventh year at Heli-Expo. Two will be providing demonstration flights at Static Display No. 4. New features include the Bell 206 startup procedure, higher definition, out-the-window views that can be panned right and left 360 deg, additional and improved worldwide scenery, and a four-year warranty.
Aviall (www.aviall.com) is highlighting its services at Booth 4019. A key part of the exhibition will again be Aviall's LIFT helicopter support program, a family of services specifically tailored to a helicopter operator's needs, all designed to add value and cost reductions to their bottom line. LIFT provides users access to more than 225 product lines, local stocking, central inventory, inventory management, electronic ordering via www.aviall.com, electronic data interface, and the support of local Aviall sales personnel.
SRT Helicopters (www.srthelo.com) is promoting its emergency-response and rescue training programs at Booth 454. Aimed at helicopter crews, this training covers initial and recurrent pilot training, crew resource management/human factors for aircrew and management personnel, technical rescue (including hoist operations and maintenance), incident management and incident command, special operations missions (including airborne use of force, and operations in austere environments.
Aerospace Filtration Systems (www.afsfilters.com) is showcasing its line of inlet barrier filtration systems at Booth 609. It is displaying its line of supplemental type certificated (STC'd) inlet barrier filters for helicopters such as the Eurocopter AS350, MD500, Bell 206B, 407, and 205/210/UH-1H, and AgustaWestland A119. As well, the company will be showing products soon to be STC'd for the MD900 and EC130, said AFS President Mike Scimone.
Heli-Expo attendees wondering how to finance equipment they see at the show should visit Center Capital (www.centercapitalcorp.com) at Booth 3504, said Greg Renna, senior vice president and general manager of its General Aviation Div. Center Capital specializes in loans to helicopter owners and operators. As a subsidiary of the Webster Bank, Renna said, Center Capital has direct access to billions of dollars in loans. Since helicopters are typically big-ticket items, this company is worth getting to know.
Dart Helicopter Services (www.darthelicopterservices.com) is highlighting its new Eagle Single (based on the Bell 212) and Bell 407 at Booth 3411, said Dart President and CEO Jeff Shapiro, plus a full-scale Eurocopter AS350 mock-up loaded with Dart and Geneva accessories. The Dart products displayed include external life-raft and float systems for the AgustaWestland AW139, Sikorsky S-76, Bell 412, and Bell light aircraft. Also on hand are a full line of Robinson products, such as bear paws, ground handling equipment, pilot doors, and windows, plus the complete line of Canam hooks, Nordam windows, and AFS filters. STC'd products from Dart's two latest acquisitions, Geneva Aviation and EAS, are also on display.
ELITE Simulation Solutions (www.flyelite.com) is showing their new helicopter advanced aviation training device, the ELITE S623, at Booth 5203. A single-engine turbine trainer modeled on the Eurocopter AS350, it is designed for both IFR and VFR training. It features dual flight controls, pilot- and copilot-specific instruments, full autopilot capability with flight director and navigation coupling to VOR and GPS, 120-deg external visual system, and a fully interactive instructor station. Options include the King EFS 40/50 electronic flight instrument system and Garmin 430/530 GPS. Glass cockpits are also available.
"If your need is IFR training, CRM or confined-area operations, the S623 is a natural fit in any curriculum or training program," said ELITE President and CEO John Dixon. "We invite all attendees to exam the quality and aerodynamic fidelity for themselves."
The Frasca Model 342 Bell 206 flight training device with TruVision is the main attraction at Frasca International's display (www.frasca.com) at Booth 1238. Across the aisle at the Bell booth, you can view a Frasca MentorH deployable simulator. Frasca International manufactures flight simulators for all helicopter types. Its products range from simple flight training devices for aircraft like the R22 to full-motion simulators for the Bell 412.
"Frasca simulators are enabling helicopter operators to do better training more efficiently," said Frasca Vice President John Frasca. "By adding simulators to the fleet, an operator can perform its own training at its own location. This shortens the pilot training periods, allowing for more revenue."
Looking for helicopter parts? Then stop by the Heli-Mart display (www.helimart.com) at Booth 807. With $14 million worth of parts in inventory at its Costa Mesa, Calif. facility, Heli-Mart is a reliable source for items ranging from nuts and bolts to engine components, replacement MD blades, and helicopter doors and windows.
"Heli-Mart now has a presence in Latin America, with headquarters in Bogota, Colombia and soon in Buenos Aires," said President Don Nichols. It offers Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 and Rolls-Royce 250 PMA engine parts by Extex, power supplies and APUs by Red Box, and parts direct from its huge California warehouse.
At Booth 2315, the Helicopters Div. of Kaman Aerospace (www.kamanaero.com) is introducing HeliworX, the company's new, helicopter-focused manufacturing facility. Kaman intends HeliworX as a full-service rotorcraft innovation and manufacturing support center. Its mission is to deliver vertical flight solutions to the world's prime helicopter manufacturers.
"From all-composite rotors to airframe integration and installations, HeliworX brings a new level of competency to America's rotorcraft supply chain," said Sal Bordonaro, president of the Helicopters Div. "There's never a question about if or when your work will get done. We deliver so you can deliver."
Kaman's booth is also spotlighting products such as the K-Max medium-to-heavy lift helicopter and its FIREMAX firefighting variant, the SH-2G Super Seasprite, and the BURRO+ vertical takeoff unmanned aerial system.
Visitors to Paradigm Aerospace Corp. (www.paradigm-aero.com) at Booth 435 are in for a surprise. Paradigm has chosen Heli-Expo 2007 to reveal a whole new identity and booth graphics, including a big-screen monitor displaying customizing, maintenance, and the overall facilities, as well as Bell and Agusta aircraft completions. Over the past 20 years, Paradigm Aerospace has customized nearly 400 helicopters. "At Paradigm Aerospace, we take the time to work with customers to determine what their needs and expectations are and then respond to those needs and expectations through innovative solutions, quality craftsmanship and very personal service," explained Ed Pears, the company's president.
Turbomeca (www.turbomeca.com) designs and manufactures Arrius, Arriel, Makila, TM333 and Ardiden gas turbine engines for helicopters. Not surprisingly, these products will be front and center at its display at Booth 2021. Its engines offer a power spectrum ranging from 450 to 3000 shp. There are 14,500 Turbomeca engines in use worldwide, operated by 2,200 customers in 150 countries. To support them, Turbomeca operates 14 sites, 25 TurboSupport centers, and 26 repair centers. It also has 90 technical field representatives to aid its clients.
"Wherever our customers fly, they have noticed one thing: helicopter transportation is in greater demand than it has ever been," said Turbomeca Chairman and CEO Emeric d'Arcimoles. "To meet this demand, Turbomeca is growing. For instance, we have expanded our Turbomeca USA facilities in Grand Prairie, Texas."
Breeze-Eastern Corp. (www.breeze-eastern.com) will be highlighting selections of its rescue hoists and cargo hooks in Booth 900.
Breeze was founded in 1926 and, along with Sikorsky Aircraft, developed the first helicopter rescue hoist. Breeze-Eastern is dedicated to supplying high-performance, high-quality aircraft mission equipment such as personnel rescue hoists, airborne cargo winches, cargo hooks and weapons handling equipment. CEO Robert White said, "The combination of customer orientation and leading edge technology derived from new program starts will keep Breeze-Eastern in a marketplace leadership position for a long time to come."

Use of
Police Body-Worn Cameras by the Rialto (Calif.) Police Department has received a "Promising" rating on CrimeSolutions.gov.
Review NIJ-funded research on use-of-force.
Broadly speaking, the use of force by law enforcement officers becomes necessary and is permitted under specific circumstances, such as in self-defense or in defense of another individual or group.
There is no single, universally agreed-upon definition of use of force. The International Association of Chiefs of Police has described use of force as the "amount of effort required by police to compel compliance by an unwilling subject"
Officers receive guidance from their individual agencies, but no universal set of rules governs when officers should use force and how much.
Context counts. No two situations are the same, nor are any two officers. In a potentially threatening situation, an officer will quickly tailor a response and apply force, if necessary. Situational awareness is essential, and officers are trained to judge when a crisis requires the use of force to regain control of a situation. In most cases, time becomes the key variable in determining when an officer chooses to use force.
Law enforcement officers should use only the amount of force necessary to mitigate an incident, make an arrest, or protect themselves or others from harm. The levels, or continuum, of force police use include basic verbal and physical restraint,
less-lethal force, and lethal force.
Learn more about the use-of-force continuum.
The level of force an officer uses varies based on the situation. Because of this variation, guidelines for the use of force are based on many factors, including the officer's level of training or experience.
An officer's goal is to regain control as soon as possible while protecting the community. Use of force is an officer's last option — a necessary course of action to restore safety in a community when other practices are ineffective.
Injuries may occur in any use-of-force incident, and police should ensure that those injured receive medical aid and that the family of any injured person is notified.
Excessive force. The frequency of police use-of-force events that may be defined as justified or excessive is difficult to estimate
[2]. There is no national database of officer-involved shootings or incidents in which police use excessive force. Most agencies keep such records, but no mechanism exists to produce a national estimate.

Wallace's basic disagreement with Darwin about man
Alfred Russel Wallace,
About Darwin's much-maligned co-theorist, Alfred Russel Wallace, a friend writes,
Darwin had overlooked one important thing and that was how much of an exception Man was to the theory of evolution. By contrast Wallace was aware that the language and culture component of Man's makeup did not fit with Darwin's view. (Of course, language and culture includes justice, religion and art.) Darwin seemed hemmed in by his animal studies, whereas Wallace intuitively knew that all Mankind, from the most "primitive" to the most technologically advanced, used language and symbols to form a culture. In addition, there was no apparent difference in either the structure or size of the human brain between natives who hunted and gathered for a living in Tierra del Fuego, and a modern European who might have played and composed music in a 19th century university town.More on Wallace here.
How did that fit with Darwin's theory given the completely different environments in which these two groups lived? To this day nobody has come up with a credible answer, probably because of the dubious assumption that hunting and gathering required less brainpower than that needed for someone to live "comfortably" in a modern city. ...

I am troubles using the SelectLayerByAttribute() function for arcgis geoprocessing.
I have a layer and I want to select everything that matches on a particular attribute. I call MakeFeatureLayer() to create a layer, I run SelectLayerByAttribute() to select what I want, and then I run CopyFeatures() to save that layer into the database.
However, after the copyfeatures() call, nothing is saved and I have empty layers.
Is there something I'm missing?
I'm using python and arcgisscripting module for geoprocessing. My code below:
gp.MakeFeatureLayer_management(target_layer, "lyr")
gp.SelectLayerByAttribute_management("lyr", "NEW_SELECTION", "\"my_attribute\" = 5 " )
# Write the selected features to a new featureclass
gp.CopyFeatures_management("lyr", output)

Did you know that women are starting businesses at twice the rate of men?
That's right, and October is the time to celebrate women who are small business owners and to honor those dedicated individuals who are passionate about their business.
It's National Women's Small Business Month. And right now, women-owned businesses are one of the fastest growing segments of the small business community. Today, about 30 percent of small businesses are owned by women, compared to about 5 percent back in 1970.
These independent women go above and beyond in the corporate world and portray their passion for their business through hard work and determination. They are willing to take risks and make sacrifices in order to create a successful and devoted company.
A great example of a dedicated businesswoman is our very own, Julia Billen.
Julia is the President & Owner of WarmlyYours who continually puts her heart and soul into this company. Not only does Julia radiate confidence and enthusiasm, her desire to better WarmlyYours and her customers has transformed WarmlyYours into the customer centric company it is today.
Here is a little bit of her story:
When I first started working in the radiant heating industry in 1995, I was able to bring into the industry a female viewpoint of how to market radiant heating. Almost all of the companies at the time were talking about BTUs, watts, volts and the discussions were very much engineering driven. However, I understood that what the customer wanted was comfort and warmth. Very few customers were interested in understanding the difference between BTUs and watts. What folks wanted was a solution that would warm their room.
I was the first person in the North American industry to market radiant heating as a luxury, comfort product. At WarmlyYours' first trade show in early 1996, I decorated our booth with an oriental rug, tiffany lamp, and a beautiful wall screen and then a heated tabletop display. I knew that folks had to actually see luxury and feel the warmth to truly experience our product, in order to generate a demand for radiant heating. This is a trend that was followed by every radiant heating company doing business today and is now the standard for how to market radiant heating.
Without Julia, who knows what the Radiant Heating Industry would be like today.
Women like our President & Owner are changing businesses one-step at a time and each successive step has a large impact on the industry as a whole. This month, we should all take the time and honor these visionary women who own small businesses and celebrate what they have accomplished.

American Idol would be nothing without Simon. Guess they better increase his pay. LOL!
Hi Peach I believe I read somewhere that Paula's contract is up there year, but I highly doubt that she will leave the show as she makes too much money from it.It has also been speculated that the reason the producers brought Kara in this year was that she was going to possibly be the replacement for Paula. However, I feel that most of the viewing public, including myself, can't stand Kara and that this experiment won't work out.

New Delhi, Jan 15 : It may sound surprising but seasoned actor Pankaj Kapur, known for doing offbeat films such as " Maqbool" and " Blue Umbrella", confesses that he entered show business aiming to be like late superstar Rajesh Khanna.
"I wanted to become an actor for films. My only idol was Rajesh Khanna. That was the kind of cinema that was reaching me in Ludhiana (Punjab)," Kapur told IANS in a candid conversation here.
But the 58-year-old's perspective about the art of acting changed after he joined the National School of Drama (NSD) and met Ebrahim Alkazi.
Casually dressed in a trouser and sweater and looking at ease, Kapur shared: "With god's grace, I got selected in the National School of Drama and met Mr. Alkazi, who opened our minds to the world theatre, world cinema and world painting. In terms of creativity, we were exposed to everything that was available."
He was so smitten by the world of theatre that he turned down his father's offer to buy him a place in Mumbai, India's entertainment capital.
"My father asked me if he should by a one-room space in Mumbai because eventually I will have to go to Mumbai. But I asked him: 'Who wants to be in films?" I loved theatre and wanted to spend all my life in theatre," said the actor, known for his powerful performances.
At the beginning of his career, he got films such as "Aarohan" and "Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron", but the earning was not enough to keep him going. And the financial constraint pushed him towards television and accept "Karamchand" -- his first TV show that made him a popular face in 1985.
"When television came my way, it was a very bitter decision for me. I had to go for television because I had no money. 'Karamchand' happened because I had no money. It was a question of survival. So, I said yes. And I suddenly became a national figure and eventually, I landed in Mumbai," said Kapur, who went on to do hit shows such as "Zabaan Sambhaal Ke" and "Office Office".
But the world of theatre today has undergone a positive change and people associated with it now can make a living, he said.
"What is good is that the actors in theatre and people involved in it can make a living from it these days. When I was doing theatre, I was a young boy and there was no way one could survive on it," he said.
Kapur also lamented the lack of good actors on the small screen.
Instead of emphasising on looks, he feels, TV actors should focus on acting.
"Training in theatre, even if it is being used as a stepping stone to cinema, is a very good thing. Today, in television and films, anybody is being picked up and put in front of camera. You look at an actor who is just a (good) face and (good) body and he becomes famous for a few years. Where is the actor after that? They disappear and it is so unfortunate," he said.
But what worries Kapur more is the lack of good writers in the film and theatre industry.
"The unfortunate bit is that there are no writers. This is a huge problem in films as well. Films are being adapted from Hollywood, from the south and similarly in playwriting there are hardly any plays being written," he said.
"The output of writing is so little that no new theatre is coming out. After some time, it becomes very boring to have the same adaptations, same plays which have been done millions of times before," he added.
Despite the writing crisis, Kapur's body of work boasts of well-scripted and well-executed films and the recent addition is "Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola".
His performance in the Vishal Bhardwaj-directed political satire is being lauded by critics as well as audiences.

How does the system place bus stops?
The locations of bus stops have been optimized by the computer taking into account the traffic safety issues of the streets in the area and the location of the children. In most cases bus stops are at corners. The stops are designed to be within approximately 1/4 mile of the student's home. There have been no changes in the maximum walking distances, which remain at 1.5 miles for elementary schools and 2 miles for secondary schools.

2005 Wales A 52 Lebanon Espoirs 12
Fans from Challenge Cup Finalists, Leeds Rhinos and Hull FC
Fans from Challenge Cup Finalists, Leeds Rhinos and Hull FC were in the crowd at the Brewery Field on Friday to night to see a Wales Presidents XIII outclass but not disgrace a valiant Lebanon Espoirs (a word that roughly translates as hopefuls or emerging) side.
The visitors fielded none of their big name professionals; this side was picked exclusively from their domestic league in Lebanon that was founded in 2002. The match was the second in Lebanon's tour of the UK. On Tuesday they lost 26-0 to the England A side but with Welsh Rugby League being stronger than it's ever been, the emerging Lebanese knew they'd have a tougher task in Bridgend.
Jesse Farthing gave Wales an early lead with a try in the corner on five minutes. David Davies added a second on 20 minutes following a lengthy delay due to an injury to Lebanon's Hassan Taha.
Another delay followed due an even more serious injury. This time to Lebanon's Hadi Yashruti who fell awkwardly in a tackle, was unable to be moved and the game was held up by 20 minutes while players and crowd waited for an ambulance.
Following the half-hour gap, a refreshed Welsh side were keen to add to their scoreline but Adam Dawe's 70-metre run was stopped just centimetres from the line by Gilbert Haydamous.
But Valley Cougars' Carl Thomas stormed through moments later to increase Wales' lead. Chris Williams broke through the defence six minutes later to add to the scoreline. Matt Jackson converted both tries to give Wales a 20-0 half-time lead.
Wales increased their lead after just five minutes of the second half after Scott O'Kelly forced his way over on the fifth tackle.
Lebanon got on the scoreboard for the first time in their tour after 51 minutes when Tony Semrani fought his way through the Welsh defence to ground under the posts. Wassim Moumneh converted.
But Wales replied straight away with a try from Cougars' Adrian Owen. Dean Scully converted then ran 60 metres for another Welsh try straight from kick-off.
Lebanon got another try back on 59 minutes after Alan Sultan finished off a good passing move.

Pick the perfect speaker
Bluetooth Speakers
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows two devices to communicate without a Wi-Fi connection. You can pair any Bluetooth-enabled device (a smartphone, a tablet, etc.) with these portable speakers for sound playback.
Smart Speakers
A smart speaker is a Wi-Fi connected speaker that's controlled with voice commands, making it hands-free. To start, speak a trigger phrase like "Hey, Siri" or "OK, Google" or "Alexa" and then ask a question or make a request.
Waterproof Speakers
There's a big difference between water-resistant and waterproof speakers. Water-resistant (IPX6 or below) can withstand splashes or rain, but can't be submerged. Waterproof (IPX7+) can be submerged in a limited depth for a limited time.

I've been getting this a few times over the last few days (on these xkcd forums and nowhere else, otherwise I might put it down to browser, device or even ISP issues).
Having got it again and wandered in here to start a new thread, I regretted not getting a screenshot, then it happened again whilst I was trying to start the topic (and then also afterwards whilst trying to Preview, a couple of times...) so screenshot attached, not that it's very informative beyond the basic detail of the 504 (and a few of the other tabs I have open, and device notifications pending dealing with, but nothing exactly embarassing...).
ETA: Forgot to say, I've received this upon posting a message then (when I've checked) the message was posted, suggesting the problem is only in the daemon response to my submission. But I also had to submit the last Comic Thread starter I made twice because the first attempt failed utterly, so there the submission failed to even be (fully?) received by the back-end, so far as I can deduce from the minimal data. Which probably thetefore doesn't help.
forums.xkcd.com took too long to respond

Moreover, since Nardole lost consciousness as the result of those bacteria, isn't the TARDIS infected now and will still infect the world if the doors are opened anywhere else? Then again, like you said already, Douglas' bacteria are outside the blast area, together with the dramatic mists, so the lab is still crawling with the stuff.
The combination lock is made out of wood. Obviously.
They could've made it a cooperative lock anyway: a display with digits on the inside and a pad on the other. Hey, don't give me that look: it's still a better idea than having the screwdriver not work on a combination lock. Also they could've turned it into an incredibly cheesy Chekov's Gun (to be honest, that's why we're watching the show anyway, right?) by showing and telling that procedure during the episode. (And then completely ignore it when both researchers go inside. Even cheesier writing!)
Can I blame Moffat for this episode?

Even if hiring improved last month, January's jobs report Friday should paint a picture of employers who remain hesitant to add to their ranks in a sluggish and uncertain economy.
Economists expect 160,000 non-farm payrolls were added in January and the unemployment rate stayed unchanged at 7.8 percent, according to Thomson Reuters. That would be just a tiny improvement over the 155,000 jobs added in December.
"We set a decent pace of hiring, roughly 150,000 a month for two years now," said Stephen Stanley, chief economist at Pierpont Securities."It's not like were declining or flat-lining. We are creating jobs, but it's not what you expect in a recovery. We haven't had that burst of hiring. We've switched from recession to a mature level of expansion."

Topic: Boba vs 4-Lom
Who do u think would win?
Message Boards - Boba Fett Fan Club → Role Playing → Boba vs 4-Lom
Who do u think would win?
c-c-combo breaker!
(this is my way of saying stop the vs. madness)
c-c-combo breaker!
(this is my way of saying stop the vs. madness)
Even though i agree that the vs. topics are getting out of hand, this is in fact spam Jesse. If you want to say something, try saying it instead of just putting ...
Lord knows Boba would win.
Jesus beats all.
Boba shot 4-LOM in a comic. 4-LOM exploded. Zuckess repaired him, but 4-LOM lost his memory.
Do the math:
Blaster bolt + 4-LOM = Damaged 4-LOM
Jetpack missile + flamethrower + 10 blaster bolts + Vibro-Blades + 4-LOM = 4-LOM and everything related to him dead for ever....
4-LOM would win. Come on, guys. Why? Because these match-ups are pretty rigged.
Please consider adding "why" to any battles. Even if you're being sarcastic.
In related posts:
4-LOM vs. Zam Wesell
4-LOM vs. Boushh
IG-88 vs. 4-LOM
Fett and Bossk vs. 4-LOM, Zuckuss and IG-88
Finally it takes the admin to tell some people. Hope some of you get it. It's easily Boba. Firstly BobaFett Fan's example basically sums it up. Secondly he's a modified protocol droid. How does a modified protocol droid stand up to the galaxies' greatest bounty hunter. He didn't get to that spot while watching other bounty hunters like 4-Lom or Zuckuss take bounties.
I definitely agee. 4-lom is not that good.
well 4-LOM's head does look like a wasp.

Metallic taste after chemotherapy
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
The most difficult side effect of chemotherapy so far has been the metallic taste in my mouth. Nothing seems to help do you have any ideas?
Carolyn Vachani RN, MSN, AOCN, OncoLink's Medical Correspondent, responds:
The metallic taste, or other taste changes are quite common during cancer treatment. I can give you a few tips that may help.
Try to overpower the metallic taste by sucking on lemon drops; mints, or chewing strong flavored gum. Try adding extra seasoning to foods to overpower the taste, such as herbs, lemon juice, vinegar, marinades, and pickled foods. Lemonade is a beverage that may be better tolerated because of the strong flavor (although this would not be good if you have mouth sores). You can try rinsing your mouth with ginger ale, tea, or salted water before eating to clear your taste buds. Also, try using plastic utensils rather than metal.
Some dental problems can cause changes in taste, so you may want to visit your dentist to rule out any dental problems. Some dentists are leery of treating patients on chemotherapy, so you may want to check with your oncologist as to when the best time would be to see the dentist. The National Cancer Institute puts out a booklet called "Eating Hints", which you may find helpful. You can get a free copy by calling 1-800-4-CANCER or read it online.

Community leaders rallied at the scene of the crime at Roosevelt Avenue and 90th Street in Jackson Heights last Wednesday demanding an end to the use of "gay panic" as a justification for committing a crime.
"We are outraged that we have lost another member of our community due to hate and homophobia," said Jocelyn Mendoza, a transgender resident of Queens. "This incident shows how homophobia and transphobia can affect anyone, whether they identify as LGBTQ or not."
On September 16, Bronx resident Steven Torres, 22, stabbed Orozco to death at around 1:30 p.m. while the victim's wife was at a doctor's appointment. Torres later told investigators he felt threatened by alleged homosexual advances from Orozco.
"This horrific hate crime that occurred here on this corner is something that cannot go without community response," said Councilman Daniel Dromm. "If Steven Torres or anyone else out there believes that citing their victim's sexuality somehow justifies their crimes, they are sorely mistaken."
Dromm, who is gay, demanded an end to the use of homophobia as a defense for violent crimes. "Gay panic defense is totally unacceptable," he said.
In August, the American Bar Association voted to curtail the use of this type of defense. The resolution encourages state and local governments to pass legislation that bars this strategy from being used in the courtroom.
"We have seen the gay panic defense used time and time again to justify the action of these assailants," said Dromm. "That is totally unacceptable."
Torres is being charged with second-degree murder as a hate crime.
Torres also admitted to stabbing a coworker at a Greenwich Village construction site last month, also for blowing him kisses. The coworker did not initially file a police report, so Torres was never charged.
"This year alone, we have seen an inordinate number of hate crimes perpetrated against members of the LGBTQ community and other parts of the city," said Comptroller John Liu. "A hate crime against anyone is a hate crime against all of us."
There have been over 70 reported anti-gay crimes this year, of which more than 40 were assaults and at least six resulted in felonies.
"There is absolutely no justification for assaulting an innocent person just because you believe they may identify as LGBT," said Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras. "No one should have to bury their loved ones over senseless crimes."

Spider-Man Media Tackles Shattered Dimensions
The various realities of Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions are the focus of publisher Activision's latest media blast, including a glimpse of the futuristic 2099 universe.
Due in September 2010, Shattered Dimensions is coming to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii via developer Beenox, with Griptonite crafting a Nintendo DS rendition.
Alongside the media, Activision also passed along a fact sheet:
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is a thrilling action-packed adventure set in four dramatically different universes from legendary Spider-Man lore, each with a distinct Spider-Man armed with unique skills and strengths, in one original storyline. Players will be transported to new locations never before seen in a Spider-Man game, from lush jungles and dusty deserts to various urban terrains. Acclaimed comic book writer Dan Slott takes players on a mission to contain the magical energy of the Tablet of Order and Chaos, which has been shattered and sent hurtling across parallel universes, and battle fan-favorite villains in a quest to restore the fabric of reality.
- Four Worlds, One Story -- Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions gives gamers four unique universes to explore, each featuring authentic and unique art styles, from the classic pen-and-ink-styled Amazing Spider-Man to the moody, 1930s cinema-influenced Noir.
- The Strength of Four Spider-Men -- Players harness new gameplay mechanics through each costume of Spider-Man: The web-slinging, aerial Amazing Spider-Man delivers sweeping blows and powerful kicks in a world that pays tribute to the classic era of our legendary Super Hero, while the mysterious and stealthy Spider-Man Noir prefers to lurk in the shadows of a 1930s-influenced cinematic environment before unleashing his perilous strength.
- Taking the Traditional Spider-Man Game to the Next Level -- For the first time, Spider-Man can deliver damage up close and personal via a first-person perspective during key moments of battle. Boss-themed levels with new environments, music and pacing, along with a vast new cast of ferocious villains, will engage gamers in a fast-paced action-adventure. Players will take on the world's greatest hunter Kraven in the Amazing universe and, in the service of Norman Osborn (aka "The Goblin"), Hammerhead and his henchmen in the gritty Noir universe.
- Variety for casual and hardcore fans -- Beyond the four vastly different worlds to explore, players will uncover surprises around every corner, including new abilities and multiple costumes and bonuses to unlock.
- Nintendo DS Version -- Griptonite Games brings Shattered Dimensions to life in a unique new way on the Nintendo DS, evolving to new heights the high-octane, well-received gameplay Griptonite is known for. Join Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Man Noir and one other Spider-Man as they traverse their side-scrolling worlds, gaining powers as they progress that allow them to explore previously unreachable areas. In addition to different style of gameplay, the DS version of Shattered Dimensions also boasts a unique cast of seven Spider-Man villains, including Electro of the Amazing universe and the first ever appearance of Calypso Noir, who, along with two other boss characters, was created from scratch exclusively for this Nintendo DS game.
This is my first encounter with it by name or media, and aside from what look like pretty mediocre graphics it looks like a really fun take on the franchise. They really cannot do worse than they've been doing with it, so a radical departure from "spider-man swings around manhattan and beats up common thugs" is pretty welcome.
