"No cable required." That's the battlecry that Internet startup, Aereo, foregrounds on its website. The company aims to offer live, uber-cheap, streaming Internet TV to users without a cable service provider. Not surprisingly, major networks pounced on the company earlier this year, with FOX, ABC, and several others filing a joint request for an injunction, alleging that Aereo's service was in violation of copyright laws.
While the networks' initial request was shot down by U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan back in July, the plaintiffs promptly appealed, and the case is now proceeding in the Southern District Court of New York.
For a long time, the cable networks have been holed up with the door barred as the collective weight of the rest of the world looks to break up the racket of bundled, subscription-based cable. Thus far, their fortifications have held, but this case might prove to be the breakthrough that many have been waiting for. Aereo Founder and CEO Chaitanya Kanojia believes it is. But even if Aereo isn't the one delivering it, Kanojia seems confident that this technology won't be held down. "Migration to online TV is inevitable, unquestionably," he told Digital Trends.
Kanojia hopes to bring about that inevitability through a technology that collects channel feeds via a bevy of miniaturized antennae, and allows users to tap into the collected signal and watch live TV over the web. The networks are arguing that what Aereo is doing is a form of rebroadcasting, which copyright laws have clearly deemed to be illegal without the original broadcaster's consent. But Aereo protests that they're merely providing the means for users to pluck the signal out of the air.
The networks had a similar beef with Cablevision's DVR service when it first debuted and brought legal action, but it was determined that Cablevision wasn't rebroadcasting, but rather giving users access to a server that recorded content was stored on. Not surprisingly, that case has already come up in the current court proceeding. While Aereo tried to raise it as a precedent, the networks maintained it wasn't comparable scenario, since Cablevision had the proper licenses to broadcast the content in the first place – licenses which Aereo does not have, and never sought.
Another possible precedent in this battle would be the Sony Corp. of America vs Universal City Studios, Inc. case (1984), in which the ruling stated that making copies of television programs via VCR for future viewing was protected under the fair use act.
Neither of these precedents is perfect for the occasion because – in large part – the occasion represents un-treaded territory. TV is evolving, and copyright laws haven't really evolved with it. Though it might feel like Aereo is getting away with providing their service on a technicality, it's a technicality that, short of changing the existing law, is difficult to subvert. Whether all of this passes the smell test or not, is immaterial.
This situation bears some similarity to file sharing. You'd have been hard pressed to find anyone who didn't feel that it was tantamount to theft, but only after a long, attrition-filled legal battle, was the music industry able to curtail it in any meaningful way.
Despite the internet's maturation into a ubiquitous, generation-defining entity, it still has bit of a wild west feel to it. Efforts to control it or legislate it have largely been convoluted and ineffectual. It's a sector that seems to demand frontier justice, the administration of which is inhibited by a code of laws that is lagging conspicuously behind the technology it is meant to govern.
However you feel about the legality of what his company is doing, Kanojia certainly doesn't come off as a crook. Quite the contrary. He comes off pragmatic and forthright; artifice doesn't seem to be his game. He suggests that he's merely taking the temperature of the times and acting accordingly, something he says TV networks have been reluctant to do. "They [networks] have a demonstrated an aversion to any new technology," he argues.
No doubt we're in for a long legal slog, but the fate of the pending injunction is a critical first step. If it's shot down for a second time, what's to stop dozens of other companies from doing exactly what Aereo is doing? The answer, uncomfortable as it may be, is nothing. Just as there was nothing to stop Kazaa or Limewire from following in Napster's footsteps.
The law only provides you with so much protection out on the frontier, beyond which it's essentially a dog-eat-dog world. Whether the networks can withstand this most recent siege remains to be seen. But however it turns out, it's hard to imagine they can hold out for much longer.

The National Rifle Association represents foreign and domestic gun manufacturers, not responsible American gun owners. Their opposition to any sensible gun safety regulations following the Newtown mass shooting — instead calling for more guns with armed guards in schools — makes it crystal-clear who the NRA really represents.
Despite the NRA's claims that it is not influenced by gun manufacturers, many of its top donors and board members are from the firearms industry. Could this be why the NRA leadership is ignoring the will of their four million members (out of 90 million gun owners in the U.S.), 74 percent of whom support mandatory background checks, which the NRA opposes?
According to a report in The Huffington Post, since 2005, the NRA has potentially hauled in nearly $40 million from the $12-billion-a-year gun industry.
Two of the NRA's biggest financial contributors are foreign-owned firearms companies from Italy — Beretta ($1 million to $5 million level) and Benelli ($500,000 to $1 million level).
Here are five of the NRA's biggest gun industry backers who have contributed $1 million or higher. They include the biggest financial contributor — MidwayUSA, a distributor of high-capacity magazines, but also oil and gas company Clayton Williams Energy, Inc. Other gun industry donors include Beretta USA Corporation, Pierce Bullet Seal Target Systems, LLC, and Springfield Armory, Inc.

MBB Hello: Austin Hatch(2013) and Mark Donnal(2013)
According to today's UMHoops twitter feed, 2013 SG Austin Hatch has committed to play his college basketball at the University of Michigan. UMHoops also provides a very brief bio of Hatch on their website. Rivals lists Hatch as a 3-star player, but as we have seen with previous Beilein recruits, that may not mean much. I'm sure UMHoops will have a full commitment post up later today, so check their site for an update.
For now, this has only been reported by fellow Michigan recruit Monte Morris per Twitter. UMHoops trying to confirm. Sorry for jumping the gun.
It has been confirmed by UMHoops that Austin Hatch is the first commitment for John Beilein's 2013 class.
UMHoops also reporting, as suggested in the comments below by wlubd, that Michigan received a commitment from 2013 PF Mark Donnal. UMHoops provides their scouting report of him here.

- This article is about the 46th Earth King. For other similar uses, see Earth King (disambiguation).
|"How dare you defy your king! Guards, arrest Avatar Kyoshi!"
|— The 46th Earth King ordering Avatar Kyoshi's arrest.[1]
The 46th Earth King was the ruler of the Earth Kingdom during the time of Avatar Kyoshi. His rule was unpopular among his people, and there were several revolts against his leadership, including the War of Chin the Conqueror and the Peasant Uprising in Ba Sing Se.[1][2]
The 46th Earth King ruled about 250 years prior to the Hundred Year War. Strong-willed and imperious, the Earth King had little support from his people, and his reign was marked by many challenges to his rule which severely tested the Earth Kingdom's government. The most serious of these was a rebellion led by Chin the Conqueror, a warlord from the country's far northwest. Chin easily conquered all of the kingdom, with the exception of Ba Sing Se and the Kyoshi peninsula; only his death at the hands of Avatar Kyoshi halted his movements to consolidate the empire under him.
The government's inability to deal with Chin's rebellion did, however, have repercussions. The massive losses the Earth Kingdom sustained led the citizens to realize many of the government's failures, and popular sentiment grew into the belief that the monarchy was outdated and did not support the people's interests. In Ba Sing Se, this belief led to a peasant uprising; thousands of peasants stormed the Upper Ring and destroyed anything that represented the "old government". They eventually surrounded the Earth King's palace and demanded he be removed from his position.[1]
Realizing he was unable to handle the revolt, the Earth King summoned Avatar Kyoshi to his court and ordered her to keep the populace in line. Kyoshi refused and demanded the king listen to his people. Outraged by her audacity, the Earth King ordered her arrest, but the fully realized Avatar easily defeated the king's guards. Powerless against the might of the Avatar, the Earth King complied and had no other choice than to give in to Kyoshi's request to hear the peasants' complaints. In return, Kyoshi would protect the king's interests and Ba Sing Se's cultural heritage by training an elite force of earthbenders in the art of stealth, silence, and precision. This group became known as the Dai Li.[1]

|System: PS3, Xbox 360, Wii
|Dev: 2K Czech
|Pub: 2K Sports
|Release: March 15, 2011
|Players: 1-4
|Screen Resolution: 480p-1080p
The sound and music are good and bad, respectively. All the effects, from the squeaky shoes to the grunts of the players to the building anxiety of the audience during an extended rally, are perfect, and paired with the graphics, Top Spin 4 is as close to reality as a tennis game can get. Care was even taken to match audience cheers with venues. When playing against Andy Murray in the U.K., expect an onslaught of "c'mon Andy," or "go Rafa" when battling Nadal in Barcelona. The music tracks on the other hand are a poor selection of indie pop and rock, which seems more appropriate for a Tony Hawk or X Games game. Considering the vast etiquette of tennis and the simulation goal of 2K Sports, a more subdued playlist would have been better suited. A tall order, I guess.
My biggest disappointment was the motion controls. Incorporating the Move and Wii motion sensing into the game seemed like an afterthought, which may very well be the case. The defensive stance that it's too difficult to simulate tennis with motion controls is a cop out, since Sega is doing just that with Virtua Tennis 4. After testing the motion controls, the animations are still set, with your swing movements simply triggering them. The game doesn't even use Wii MotionPlus, which quite frankly should be the standard for all future Wii game development. And no Kinect support! I guess it stands to see how the future of motion gaming on all systems develops, but this was definitely a missed opportunity for 2K.
Despite my obvious displeasure with the poor motion controls, the classic style on the controller still does a fantastic job of keeping your fingers moving with a variety of shot combinations, from flat shots, slice shots, lobs, and of course, top spins. If you're looking for online features, you can play ranked and unranked matches, check the leaderboard, and bring your player to the World Tour mode, where you compete in quick matches and several tournaments, vying for that coveted #1 spot.
Tennis by nature is a simple translation to video games; some would even call any tennis game a glorified Pong. Simulation-style tennis games have an even tougher time holding an audience by not incorporating off-the-wall dynamics and impossible super shots. But by heightening the depth of the experience with gorgeous visuals and many small touches, Top Spin 4 delivers the most realistic tennis game to date, and one that easily appeals to purists of the sport. Hopefully 2K Sports will embrace the idea of motion control for their next game and redefine the meaning of simulation.

First 1080p Apple TV shipments begin to arrive a day early (pictures)Customers in the U.S. who were among the first to order the new Apple TV with 1080p video output began receiving the set-top box on Thursday, a day before it is set to officially launch.
AppleInsider received its own Apple TV, and numerous readers also wrote in to share that they, too, had received their order in the mail on Thursday. The new Apple TV shipments are arriving early, while carriers are still holding shipments of the new iPad for delivery on the official launch Friday.
Orders of the new Apple TV began shipping to customers on Wednesday, and initial tracking information suggested that the $99 devices would in fact be delivered a day early. That was confirmed on Thursday morning as deliveries began around the country.
Customers who attempt to order the new Apple TV from Apple's online store are now faces with a one to two week wait. That's still a shorter wait than those looking to buy a new iPad have, as online orders of the third-generation tablet are estimated to ship in two to three weeks.
The new model looks identical to the previous model, with similar packaging and identical ports on the rear of the device. It also ships with the same remote and power cable as its predecessor.
The latest Apple TV outputs high-definition 1080p video, thanks to a new custom single-core A5 processor found in the device. To support this functionality, 1080p content is available on iTunes, and the Netflix Instant Watch application has also been updated.
Below are pictures of Apple TV deliveries made on Thursday. Thanks to AppleInsider readers Christoph and Jim.

This weekend GigaOm brought word that Mozilla was working on an iPhone app. Of course, thoughts turn immediately towards their most famous product -- Firefox. However, Apple doesn't allow 3rd party code interpreters and that means no Gecko HTML renderer and no TraceMonkey Javascript engine. And again, I don't think there's any need for Mozilla to make a WebView wrapper...
So what else is there? Browser link sync? The iPhone will sync Safari links, or Internet explorer on Windows, but syncing links for Firefox users is thus far unsupported, and no doubt many would love to have that functionality:
Later, I sat around gabbing with Lilly and Jay Sullivan, Mozilla's VP of Mobile, talking about Weave and the Awesome Bar, which is a way to get access to all your browsing history and bookmarks by just typing them in the URL bar on your browser. And while we were talking about Weave, I asked them if it was going to be part of this new, mysterious iPhone app. Lilly and Sullivan smiled and remained silent. Interestingly, they didn't correct me.
Malik notes that Weave might be too competitive with MobileMe for Apple's tastes, but that of course will depend on the exact implementation offered on the iPhone, and how flexible Apple is feeling (more so than ever, it seems of late). And if ever a Weave there was, bringing it to the iPhone certainly makes sense.

Ferdinand thanks QPR fans
Anton Ferdinand has thanked the "fantastic support" he received from QPR fans during the recent high-profile league encounter with Chelsea, saying he could not have got through the day without them.
Last month's meeting between the two clubs at Loftus Road was the first encounter between Ferdinand and John Terry on the pitch since the Chelsea captain was cleared by magistrates of racially abusing the Rangers defender in July.
Ferdinand, who snubbed both Terry and Ashley Cole - who testified as a character witness for his England team-mate at the trial - at the pre-match handshake, told his club's website: "(The fans) gave me fantastic support and I couldn't have got through the day without them. They kept me going. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart."
The 27-year-old is also grateful for the support he has received from his club and team-mates, as well as the fans, adding: "It has been a difficult period for me but the fans have been special, they have been very good to me.
"The club on the whole, the lads and all the fans have given me incredible support. The backing I've been given is something I will never forget."
Terry was cleared in July by Westminster Magistrates Court of uttering the words as an insult, but that did not prevent him being found guilty under FA rules last week.
Terry, who has always denied all charges against him, is still deciding whether to appeal that verdict and has indicated he would wait until he was in receipt of the written judgment before making that decision.

For those of you that are scissor challenged like me, digital scrap booking is the way to go. It's also so much easier just to put everything together online and have it shipped to you already done. We get family calendars this way every year from my sister, and it's such a practical, yet still pretty way to scrap book memories!
Jennifer used digital scrap booking to make my baby shower invites that she sent out last week, and since some of you want to see what I look like as a fatty :-), I thought I'd give you the best of both worlds...a creative post with images of me sporting my newfound bowling ball.
Just an FYI, Jenn used her Creative Memories software program Storybook Creator 3.0 to create these 5 x 7 landscaped cards.
This is the front of the invite :
And then when you open up the card, this is whats on the top :
The image on the right is Chris and I at 20 weeks pregnant. He forgot that he's supposed to gain sympathy weight for me.
The bottom, or 'main' part, of the inside card shows this :
Believe it or not, I put my camera on a ladder and hit the timer button to take the series of pictures above. Kodi's actually cropped out of the top picture. I have no idea how that dog knows to smile at the camera, but he does. I couldn't stop laughing in this mini photo shoot I did with the two of them, so please pardon my bad posture and even more round face from laughing! Again, Chris isn't keeping up with the sympathy weight like he's supposed to!
Amazing, how much 'growing' I've done, huh?! That picture was taken at 29 weeks. I just keep getting bigger by the minute these days, I swear!
And then when you flip the back of the card over, you see this :
I love that Jenn incorporated the things we've done for Kalia's nursery too!
So what do you guys think?! Are you sold on digital scrap booking or do you prefer the old school method of scissors and paper? And isn't my sister talented?!?! :-)
Happy Friday everyone! Hope you guys have a great weekend...my number of weekends to get things done before Kalia arrives are dwindling down...so much to do, so little time!

Billy Ray Cyrus and Wife Divorcing
It's 'Achy Breaky Heart' time, as Billy Ray Cyrus is headed for divorce once again. The country singer's wife Tish has filed papers to dissolve the two-decade marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.
This is not the pair's first time at the marriage-ending rodeo. Billy Ray filed for divorce three years ago, citing the pressures of fame as a reason for the marriage crumbling. He ditched that plan in favor of giving it a shot and working things out with his wife. Apparently, the fix was temporary.
The couple has been married for 19 years and are the parents of five children, the most famous of which is their pop princess daughter Miley, 20, who has her own relationship issues.
The Cyruses only have one child who is a minor at this point, and that's daughter Noah, who is 13. Tish wants full physical and legal custody of the teen, with visitation privileges granted to her soon-to-be ex-husband.
Additionally, Tish wants spousal support and is requesting that Billy Ray foot her attorney bills.
TMZ obtained the court papers, and the date of separation is not listed.

Recent Sketchbook
Anyway, here are a couple of sketchbook pages from a recent doodle session. At the top is an old Troll Midwife and below her is a Gnome Witch. Just some simple 3B pencil on printer paper.
More soon. Peace be with you.

Dear Larry,
Wow! Such an amazing collection of images, thank you for posting them! I saw the stunning 'Rapunzel' in a Fantasy Illustrators book and looked you up. 'Fossil' is amazing too, and 'Storm Warning' - the cackling!!
I wanted to ask you about the inspiration behind 'Muskeg'? I love his benign expression and the large hands - and the detail within the characters & trees in the foreground, contrasted with the impressionistic background. Wonderful
- May 14, 2011 at 6:40 AM
- Larry MacDougall said...
Hello Ashley. Thanks for stopping by. Muskeg was painted a few years ago and I don't really remember exactly what my inspiration was. The piece was a private commission and meant to be a companion picture to another one of mine entitled Scout. When I work I tend to start with the focal point and move out from there, letting the detail diminish the further away I get. I hope that helps. :)

I love the new sketches, Larry, especially the gnome witch. She has a scandinavian feel to her that really appeals to me. Your pencil work is sublime. It just continues to get better.
- May 15, 2011 at 7:10 AM
- Larry MacDougall said...
Thanks Jim ! I wonder if I could do it with a wacom ? :)
- May 15, 2011 at 2:42 PM
That's great, Larry - I've seen 'Scout' too and they are a great match, though Muskeg might be my fav of the two because I can see his face a little better.
Definitely helps! By 'meant to be' do you mean that the two didn't end up being sold together? That'd be a shame.
- May 16, 2011 at 3:26 AM
- Larry MacDougall said...
Ashley - the two pieces were not sold together. The client wanted to purchase Scout but I was holding her for someone else at the time. Not wanting to paint the same picture twice, I came up with Muskeg. Scout never did sell and she's still one of my favourite pictures from that period.

I must say I agree with you guys completely on The Witcher.
I think G made a very interesting point saying that the fact that the Demon Child is near Guts in the first Kuroi Kishi Arc might be an indication that Casca's character was in the back of Miura's mind. At least as "the female character, mother of Guts tainted child".
But I think at the time of its initial inclusion, the child could have simply been an open variable that he hadn't decided on.
Yeah, but no comment on The Hobbit or fantasy, in which your name is dropped as essentially the last defender of Middle Earth? You should be convincing me and Wally to see this.
And Walter. Here's all you need to see from the original Start Trek:http://youtu.be/avTfiRccYIAYou're good now, on with TNG!
Now I wonder if shell cut her hair again. I think she will.
Although she is a capable fighter on her own terms, I wonder if she will recieve or obtain something similar to what the other team members aquired like the magical items, maybe from the elf king? As strong as she is I don't see her going toe to toe with some of the beasts out there now with what she has currently.
S-so Aaz, B-breaking Bad?
Oh, think you're pretty funny huh Mr. Smarty-Pants? Well, it's time to bring this whole Casca/Star Trek topic home. Behold the worst TOS episode ever:Spock's Brain
Thanks again guys, I really think these podcasts are important to keep the community going when there are long breaks in the schedule, and they're really informative to boot.
Another thing I was thinking about and was touched upon a bit in one of the podcasts, is if or when Guts will tell the other members of the party about the eclipse or what has happend to him. That got me thinking that maybe when Casca regains her sanity and is stable it will be then, since I would assume he would fill her in on whats been going on.
It will be interesting to see what happens to Farnese when Casca comes back as well. Farnese has been Casca's caregiver and protector since she's joined the group; she does what Guts wishes he could. With Casca presumably no longer needing her, I wonder how that will affect her mentally. Will she find a new role and continue to be a productive member of the group? Or will she become distraught by her "Uselessness" and become a hazard? Then of course it could be a blessing for her, as she could devote all her time to working with Schierke. Ohh the possibility....Can't wait!!
Walter: "Now that Farnese has proven herself as a magic user, do you think someone will need to replace her as caretaker for Casca, or are we nearing the point where she won't need caretaking anymore?"Aazealh: "Soon enough, she won't need a caretaker anymore. Farnese's role would have been in jeopardy. I guess what I'm saying is the future is already planned. Miura has planned the future in advance. Farnese's role is already set, the role she'll have after that."

Jesús had you time to read the articles from Zend?
As you can see PHP is part a Virtual Machine like Java. In fact you can
have scripts in opcodes just ready to run. Thread safety is provided by
the Zend Engine.
Sometimes PHP is compiled for multi-threaded platforms like IIS or Apache.
That is where all those macros for thread safety are handy. When PHP is
a CGI it does not matter very much since it runs one time and variables or
functions are in their own address space and are not shared.
I believe I have an error in function php_isis_subrow_array with thread
safety. But I am not sure.
See this comment (from php_isis.h):
/* In every utility function you add that needs to use variables
in php_isis_globals, call TSRM_FETCH(); after declaring other
variables used by that function, or better yet, pass in TSRMG_CC
after the last function argument and declare your utility function
with TSRMG_DC after the last declared argument. Always refer to
the globals in your function as ISIS_G(variable). You are
encouraged to rename these macros something shorter, see
examples in any other php module directory.
I saved it because I never understood it very well. In fact I believe it
is very important, but the writing is actually ambiguous to me. And as
you can see it seems there are two ways of achieving what that paragraph
means (good bye orthogonality).
In php_isis_subrow_array I believe I am not using globals from
php_isis_globals, but I am doing something wrong that makes the extension
not thread safe.
TSRM macros are used almost very well in the extension (and I have to
notice that it was the first time I was doing that kind of stuff).
There are other issues like for instance isis_terms. As you can see
results are saved in a variable like this one:
union { OpenIsisRec set; char buf[10000]; } result;
I do not know how OpenIsis library handles this. Therefore I do not know
what happens if the result is bigger than 10000 bytes. Maybe this is why
Róger asked for isis_terms_by_range, which I do not like since the
extension should be maintained as simple as possible and what can be done
in PHP land should be done there. But in this case an exception must be
made since isis_terms by itself does not work well.
Well, as you can see thread safety can be considered as avoiding
"Segmentation fault".

Review by Ruben of WhiskyNotes
Mouth: juicy and intense, but the sherry influence seems relatively subtle. Emphatically minty and peppery with a lot of polished sandalwood. Vague fruits (apple, gooseberries, pink grapefruit). Some nuts and vanilla.
Finish: slightly shorter than expected, showing oak and fruity sweetness. Faint hints of almonds and incense.
Another nice member of the Cocktail series by LMdW. Less intense than the 1981 Cocktail series, but fresh and juicy nonetheless. Around € 275.

Jessica Chastain to host special Cleopatra screening
Actress JESSICA CHASTAIN is teaming up with the children of DAME ELIZABETH TAYLOR and RICHARD BURTON to host a special screening of the Hollywood stars' classic CLEOPATRA at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival in France.
Taylor's son Christopher Wilding and Burton's daughter Kate Burton will unveil a restored version of the film at the special event on 21 May (13) to mark Cleopatra's 50th anniversary.
Wilding, who often visited his mother on the set of the 1963 historical epic, says, "My mother would have been thrilled about this spectacular celebration of Cleopatra's anniversary."
Jewellery purchased from the late actress' estate, including a hand-held gold and turquoise mirror featured in Cleopatra, will be on display, while Chastain will model the famous emerald and diamond necklace Burton gave Taylor during the three-year production in Rome, Italy.
Italian jewellers at Bulgari are also debuting a piece inspired by Taylor, which will be auctioned off later this year (13) to benefit the star's Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.

The tournament is a fundraiser to support CityParks Tennis, a nonprofit organization that brings free tennis lessons and activities to children in 40 parks across the city.
"This is a fun new opportunity for adult players in our parks to get together for a friendly competition representing their own neighborhoods and boroughs," said Mike Silverman, director of Sports for City Parks Foundation. "We hope this will grow into an annual event that helps support CPF's free youth tennis instruction provided to over 7,000 players each year."
Anyone tennis players 19 years old or older who are interested are encouraged to register for the tournament at the USTA website. Participants can register either as teams or individuals, and select their playing level and borough to represent.
The fee is $20 per person, with all funds going to the CityParks Tennis foundation.
The first round of the tournament begins on May 11, with matches in each borough but Brooklyn. Brooklyn's "Borough Battle" will occur on June 1 in Prospect Park.
The first round will whittle down the field to a few winners that will go on to play in the finals. At the finals, teams representing their own borough will battle each other out to see which borough truly has the best tennis skills.
The finals will be held on June 15 at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park.
"We are so excited about the Battle of the Boroughs Tennis Challenge," said Jenny Schnitzer, assistant executive director of USTA Eastern. "The event will showcase some of the best adult tennis players in New York City's parks, and help create opportunities for children of all ages to learn the sport of a lifetime."

George Joseph must think that the old saw defining insanity as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result doesn't apply to him — or at least that it's amenable to tweaking.
Joseph, the billionaire nonagenarian founder and still kingpin of the insurance company Mercury General Group, is represented on November's statewide ballot as the promoter and virtually sole bankroller of Proposition 33. This initiative would allow auto insurers to offer discounts to drivers who have maintained coverage without a break, which is known as "persistency."
That sounds innocent — what ballot proposition doesn't? But it's a significant change in the law, which currently allows auto insurers to offer such discounts only to customers who have maintained unbroken coverage with their current carrier, not with others. The difference means, in effect, that insurers would be able to charge higher rates for new customers without prior insurance; that's explicitly barred by the 1988 insurance reform measure Proposition 103, which has led to sharp reductions in California auto insurance premiums overall.
2012 Times proposition voter guide
By making auto insurance more expensive for exactly the people who should be encouraged to buy it — young and low-income drivers — Proposition 33 would drive up the number of uninsured drivers on California roads. That isn't good for anybody.

It's a tough step up for any freshman football player from high school to collegiate athletics. Wabash has 63 young men trying to make that transition.
"We try to be patient," Little Giant Coach Erik Raeburn said. "I always think back to what it was like when I was a freshman. I was so completely confused as what to do those first few days. That's really demoralizing because the season before you were a senior and you had it all down pat and everything came easy to you then you had to start all over. That's a tough deal."
Raeburn reminds the youngsters that even his best players started as bewildered freshmen.
"I wish somehow we could go back in time and they could see guys like C.J. Gum when he was a freshman, a guy like Kody LeMond when they were freshmen. Those guys are unbelievable players but it took hard work it took to get to this point."
For the Class of 2014, it's hard work and new routines.

Mas mura pag sa US.Yes. But I can only talk about Panasonic because my one and only BD player is a Panny BD60.Asian version Panasonic players are region-free, DVD and BD. Panasonic US versions must be specially modded to be all-region.
Hindi pa rin sigurado yon sir.You need to test para sigurado. And if you're going to test it before buying, dapat sa Philippines ka bumili.Try shopping at Sights and Sounds Shangrila (owner's account here is "E-reply"). Asian version na, mura pa. Puwede mo pa ma-test.

Real Estate Capital Partners
I am a female real estate investor. A woman in a man's industry. I buy properties at a discount in order to make a profit. I have two clients: distressed sellers who need their cash QUICK and funding partners who want to earn a higher rate of return than they get elsewhere (i.e. bank, CD's, mutual funds...) Who am I? I'm a 47 Y.O. divorced woman trying to get rich slowly through real estate investing, trying to make some monthly net cash flow and properties so that I have things to leave behind for my children. I am a bit of a risk taker (scuba, motorcycle, walking on hot coals), but I'm pretty girly too -- high heels and dresses. It is said I'm attractive, and that helps to open doors, but in this field you've got to be tough and serious. I am all that, but I have a mischievous side. I am a dichotomy. People who know my serious side don't know about the fun side; people who know the fun side don't believe I'm serious. Dichotomy? I drive a Prius AND a BMW 135i! I do renovations, I buy short sales, I'm looking at apartment buildings.
Obviously I'm rarely at a loss for words... Besides leaving "stuff" for my children, I am also in real estate investing because it's FUN, it's EXCITING, it's playing with the boys.
I am the mother of four daughters and one son, and I'm wanting them to get as excited about real estate as I am, but so far, not so good...
I have two audiences:
Distressed Sellers:
* short sales
* death in the family
* family member put into a nursing home
* owe back taxes
* downsizing
* divorce
* typically 35 years and older, equally male and female
* various income levels
Funding Partners:
* make a loan and earn a percentage
* become a partner in a deal and earn a higher percentage
* I need to be perceived as competent, professional
We buy/fix/flip some properties and we buy/hold others. We think outside the box for creative solutions to getting deals done. (E.g. seller cannot afford to fix property up to effectuate a higher price. We find a funding partner to finance the renovations. House sells for a higher price. Funding partner earns money on his money. Seller receives more than originally anticipated, and we make a profit.) This is just ONE example of how creative we can get.
* I am leaning towards blue/gray colors.
* I do not want anything "girly" on the card, but I don't want button-down seriousness to it (i.e. no flowers, butterflies, animals, pink)
* Playful, yet serious is ok, but serious alone is ok too
* I need to appeal to distressed sellers AND funding partners. I don't want sellers to think I'm not sympathetic, but they do need to know that I'm serious and wealthy enough to do as I say and have the wherewithal to buy their property in CASH
* Nothing cartoony
* This logo will become one side of my business card so I need it "camera ready" (I think that's what they call it???)
* I don't want it to look like anyone else's
The "LPS" attached file below was the front of my last business card. I LOVED that card because it got so much attention. People remembered it. I'm open to someone creating one like that with my new company.
The other attachment is something I was playing with myself. I LOVE the house built with money, and I love the colors. I really like for my future business card having a glossy front with just the company name and the backside would have all the personal information. I think it's more memorable. I definitely do NOT like the font I used though.
While I have attached these two files, I am wide open to ideas. I also don't have a "tag line" so feel free to create one...
This is my 1st time here. I'm excited!!!

This day is called Saturday. No, more correctly, it is already called Sunday .... however ...
It was the big GNOME Applets Manual day for me. Basically, more or less everything I did today had to do something with documentation in gnome-applets.
First of all, I helped John Fleck to get his docs checked into CVS. Not a very difficult job, just a whole bunch of work to get all the Makefile.am stuff done - hey guys, can you imagine that I don't even want to be #1 on Havoc's score-o-matic .... :)
Ok, it's nice to be #1 .... sure - but back to more constructive things.
After a little discussion with telsa in #docs, I liked the idea to have a big GNOME Applets Manual with the docs from all the applets in it and I started hacking on it.
Well, the first step towards this GNOME Applets Manual is now done and it already works for modemlights, webcontrol and diskusage ... more applets to come.
We need to contact the two applet authors who also write docs for their applets to reformat them so they only have a single <sect1> in them.
Hmm ... to summarize, it's getting fun to "work with" documentation ...
Until another day.

Iconic DC soul food spot suspended twice for health | News
Washington, DC (WUSA9) -- A legendary DC soul food spot that called police on the WUSA9 Restaurant Alert crew and an 8th Street pizza place with 29 health code violations are two of the five DMV restaurants ordered closed for serious health code violations.
MORE: Follow Investigative Reporter Russ Ptacek on Twitter or Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/receptacles).
Health inspectors closed Florida Avenue Grill, 1100 Florida Ave., NW, 4th Street Market, 6900 4th St. NW, Grand China Carryout, 6925 Blair Rd NW, Pizza Boli's, 417 8th St. SE, and District Taco, 5723 Lee Highway, Arlington, VA.
All the restaurant passed re-inspection and reopened.
Near Howard University, inspectors closed the soul food restaurant Florida Avenue Grill citing mice dropping along with 12 other violations.
In addition to rodent droppings, inspectors cited Florida Avenue Grill for storing food on the floor, food at potentially hazardous temperatures, no thermometer, and refrigerators at 58 and 60 degrees.
The manager at Florida Avenue Grill tried to block our video cameras and called the Metropolitan Police Department.
DC Police explained to the manger of Florida Avenue Grill that even Restaurant Alert reporters have the right to shoot stories on public DC streets.
The police officer allowed WUSA9 to continue our taping.
Click here to read about a second health department closure order at Florida Ave. Grill issued earlier this year:
In Arlington, inspectors closed District Taco citing food like cheese, beef and raw chicken stored at temperatures as high at 60 degrees, broken refrigerators compounded by a broken air conditioner creating a 94 degree restaurant.
When WUSA9 visited District Taco, the owner showed us improvements like new thermometers, and a system that sends automatic texts messages notifying them of potential dangerous temperatures.
In addition to renting temporary coolers District Taco has leased portable air conditioners that are fortifying its overall air conditioning.
In the Takoma neighborhood, Inspectors closed Fourth Street Market for potentially hazardous food items and repeatedly not staffing anyone certified in food safety.
The market's owner showed WUSA9 he's taken the food safety certification test and he's waiting for the official card to arrive.
On Blair Road Northwest, a 10 violation suspension closed Grand China Carryout including operating with no hot water.
The report also cited meat and seafood at potentially sickening temperatures. Grand China Carryout did not have any thermometer on hand as required but the workers let WUSA9 measure its hot water using our own thermometer.
When WUSA9 measured the hot water at Grand China it found the water at 100 degrees instead of the required 110 degrees.
WUSA9 also found large tubs of food stored on the kitchen floor at Grand China Carryout.
Grand China Carryout told WUSA9 its regular certified food manager is in China, an employee was getting certified, and a neighbor loaned them a thermometer.
Inspectors closed Pizza Boli's on 8th Street Southeast for "rodents and unsanitary conditions" and cited the restaurant with a total of 29 health code violations.
The manager blamed the problem on non-regulation trash cans he says they were planning to change the very day inspectors arrived.
Officials also cited Pizza Boli's for rodent droppings around the trash, a foul odor, and receptacles over filled. WUSA9 found rodent droppings near it's new trash cans.
Inspectors cited droppings inside Pizza Boli's too.
The manager acknowledges 95% clean isn't enough and says improvements continue.
Inspectors cited no hot water at Pizza Boli's but when we were there, the hot water measured 115 degrees which meets DC health code.
All the restaurants Russ Ptacek visited passed reinspection and have all reopened.

The first semi-final in San Luis, Argentina produced a major upset with Paraguay seeing off Brazil 1-0 on penalties following a 3-3 draw. The result means Paraguay advance to the world stage for the first time, while four-time world champions Brazil have one final opportunity to qualify in Sunday's play-off against Ecuador.
The second semi-final saw home side Argentina keep up their record of reaching every FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup with a relatively comfortable 5-3 win over Ecuador.

Playing in the mudMonday, September 25th, 2006
Today we set the rest of the culverts on the road leading into the pasture. It was a muddy mess. I tried standing on the edges, but quickly figured out that wasn't going to happen, so I just waded in the mud. We almost never figured out how to get them all pulled together. We finally decided that the best way was to run a chain through the culvert and hook one end onto the Mahindra, and one end onto a 4×4 block that couldn't go through the culvert. After that I just backed up and my buddy Mike rocked them into place. It sure is a lot easier with a little help. The kids thought it looked like fun to play in the mud so they came to "help". Once they got good and dirty and wet they ran to change clothes and finish playing in the hay.
The weather forecast says we will have 3 days of dry weather this week, so hopefully I'll get to finish the hay. I had cut some hay Tuesday when the forecast was calling for 3 dry days – only to have it rain the next day. Luckily my neighbor Joe bailed me out, literally. While I was at work he came and hooked up the roller and rolled the hay for me. I had wanted to get a lot of squares, but it's beginning to look like we'll roll it or lose it.
This Friday, Garett's school is having "doughnuts with dads". He's pretty excited. He told me last night that he wanted to "go to the orphanage and get him a brother". It's rough being the only son I guess. I wouldn't know, I had 3 brothers.
We responded to an ad in the local newspaper seeking individuals to become owner/operator poultry producers. We may soon have some more chickens and I mean a lot of them. It's been a goal of ours for quite some time to find a way to make this place pay for itself. Over the last few years we've tried cows, goats, selling eggs and hay, and done custom work, but never really made much, if any money.
I found a neat plan for a run in shelter for the goats that uses livestock panels and a tarp. We'll be heading to Tractor Supply Company for the materials to build it Tuesday. Temperatures here are getting down into the 40s some nights, so it can't be long until the goats will need some type of shelter and we'll be building a fire in the wood stove at night. I took time to sharpen 2 of the 5 saw chains hanging on the hook downstairs. It takes me about 20 minutes to get one good, but it saves $5. I can take them to the local hardware for $5, but it's been raining so much there was really nothing else I could be doing.
Mattie says all the rain must be rusting the leaves since they are turning brown. Fall is my favorite season. This part of the country is most beautiful as the leaves change and fall off. Anyone who can should come visit Kentucky. In particular, the Big South Fork River and Recreation Area. A big part of it is here in McCreary County. A visit to the area wouldn't be complete without a trip on the Big South Fork Scenic Railway and some time at the McCreary County Museum. Kaylee volunteers there regularly. She had 67 hours last year. There is a ton of memorabilia at the museum – from trains and coal mining to quilts and antiques. A visit here is a trip back in time.
I'll close for now and add some pictures – you can take a look at them all by clicking here. Thanks for reading!

Dir: Kat Coiro. US. 2103. 91mins
A sweet and rather familiar rom-com, A Case Of You is carried along thanks to engaging led performances from Justin Long (still trying to crack the romantic lead parts) and Evan Rachel Wood (playing the quirky New Yorker role usually reserved for Greta Gerwig), but in the end flounders rather as it tries to pack too much into its slender storyline. The film world premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.
A Case Of You is a genial comedy that works intermittently, with the New York backdrop enjoyable and the performances all solid and committed.
Directed with a good deal of style and grace by Kat Coiro (a Tribeca Film Festival regular, who black-and-white romantic drama While We Were Here premiered at the festival last year), the film has the look and smarts (as well as a strong support cast, including Sam Rockwell, Vince Vaughn, Peter Dinklage and Brendan Fraser) to appeal to buyers who know how to handle rom-com fare, while home entertainment is also a guaranteed home.
Long – who also co-scripted with his brother Christian Long and co-star Keir O'Donnell, who plays his flatmate in the film – plays Sam a Brooklyn-based writer of books adapted from teen genre films, but who (naturally) has aspirations of his own. He has a crush on Birdie (Wood), the cute and quirky barista at his local coffee shop, but when his blundering efforts to talk to her fail, he takes to scanning her Facebook site to try and work out how he could appear to be her dream man.
Cue him learning to play the guitar and taking lessons in French cookery and judo and even claiming to be a top ballroom dancer, all to try and appeal to her. The only problem comes when Birdie starts to fall for this alter ego, and he comes to believe she likes the man he appears to be rather than the one he actually is.
The film's accessibility is that Sam's scheme rings true in this age of social networking and cyber-stalking (though the film edges away fro the creepier aspect of how he 'romances' her), and while his attempts to create a new 'Sam' – rather familiar in truth to other rom-coms – is engaging, the film is at its best when she reveals she knew what he was up to and created a few fake 'interests' (such as rock climbing) to test his resolve and amuse herself.
For Justin Long, it is a familiar mild-mannered, inoffensive and rather socially insecure man-boy character that he has played before, and while he is an engaging presence, he never really has to stretch his acting abilities.
The chemistry between Long and Evan Rachel Wood, though, is effective, and she is especially good as a sweetly goofy and warm-hearted woman, while the ensemble of cameo performers - including Peter Dinklage (as a camp barista), Sam Rockwell (an intense guitar teacher), Vince Vaughn (Sam's agent) and Brendan Fraser (Birdie's ex) help give the film a real edge.
A Case Of You is a genial comedy that works intermittently, with the New York backdrop enjoyable and the performances all solid and committed. But despite being a rom-com for its time, it also feels rather samey and old-fashioned.

The Wiz Biz: Predictions in August?

But you must admit your grudge with the Leafs is a good kind . And if asked if you miss our old time Norris foe's you would smile and say yes .ReplyDelete
The Flames are in a tuff spot Iggy is to Flames fans what Steve Y was to us Wings fans . Yes he is not the player he used to be but i can just hear Flames fan's if they got rid of him.
Poor Kipper he is a big what if . If he played for a stronger team how many rings could he have today i'd guess 2-3 . But the Flames ride him to death and how much can one man do every night
My grudge toward the Leafs is so powerful I would give up 3 of the last 4 Stanley Cups my Wings have won as payment to the devil to ensure they never make the playoffs again. That said I can't wait to see Detroit go back to the Eastern Conference.ReplyDelete
Iggy is the only hope Calgary has. They need him and he has sacrificed a career of winning someplace else for the franchise. Kipper will definitely play less than 70 games this season and that's why Calgary will get in and have a shot at a run. A healthy, rested Kipper means more wins. Turco is the man for the job and they need him, even if it means making some cap dumps.

Painful and swollen joints characterize a number of orthopedic injuries and conditions, but in people with inflammatory arthritis, the immediate cause of the swelling and pain is usually inflammation and excessive growth of the synovium, a membrane that lines the joints.
"Normal synovium, which is usually one or two cell layers thick, produces synovial fluid that helps lubricate the joint," explains Mark P. Figgie, MD, Chief of the Surgical Arthritis Service at HSS. "When the synovium grows too bulky, it produces too much synovial fluid, which contains an enzyme that, in large quantities, 'eats away' at the articular cartilage on the joint surface."
In patients with inflammatory arthritis, excessive growth of synovium is part of an abnormal immune response in which the body recognizes cartilage as a foreign substance that must be attacked. Loss of cartilage eventually leads to damage to the joint surface as well as the stiffness and pain characteristic of all types of arthritis. (Osteoarthritis, the more prevalent form of the disease, does not involve this type of inflammatory response. Other causes, including injury, wear-and-tear, and heredity are thought to contribute to the degeneration of cartilage in osteoarthritis.)
Rheumatologists - physicians who specialize in the treatment of inflammatory arthritis, which includes rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis - usually rely on a variety of medications to control abnormal growth of the synovium. These include both oral drugs known as DMARDs (disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs), and in some cases, steroid injections. Patients who don't respond to these treatments may be referred to an orthopedic surgeon to discuss synovectomy, a procedure in which much of the synovium is removed.
(While the majority of patients who undergo synovectomy have one of these types of arthritis, synovectomy is also used to treat patients with synovial chondromatosus, a condition in which small calcifications develop in the synovium; individuals with pigmented villanodular synovitis, a rare condition in which very aggressive growth of the synovium occurs; and those with hemophilia. For more on the latter, please see the section below on radiation synovectomy.)
"Typically, we see patients who have had some improvement after six months of drug therapy but still have one inflamed joint that has not responded," says Dr. Figgie. In such cases, surgical reduction of the synovium can allow the medication to effectively control the condition. Other candidates for synovectomy are those for whom medication has provided no relief.
Synovectomy may be performed either as an open surgical procedure or with the aid of arthroscopy, in which the orthopedic surgeon uses miniaturized instruments, fiberoptic technology, and a tiny camera inserted through very small incisions in the skin. Magnified pictures from the camera are projected onto a television monitor in the operating suite, guiding the surgeon throughout the procedure.
Synovectomies may be performed on knees, elbows, wrists, finger joints, and hips. At HSS, many synovectomies are performed arthroscopically, but the choice of technique is often dictated by the affected joint. Using arthroscopy avoids the need for large incisions - an advantage if repeat synovectomies are needed - and allows for a faster rehabilitation. "It probably offers a more thorough removal of synovial tissue, as well," says Dr. Figgie. "But it is considerably more time-consuming than open surgery, and in some joints, more technically difficult to perform."
Synovectomy can yield dramatic improvement in function and pain relief, with patients whose articular cartilage is largely intact having the best results. Following surgery, the patient must continue to take medication to delay recurrence in the treated joint and to protect other joints. In some cases the medication dose may be reduced after successful synovectomy. "The goal is to slow the whole process of synovial overgrowth down and make the medication more effective," says Dr. Figgie. "Left untreated, the patient will develop more and more synovitis, which can eventually lead to complete destruction of articular cartilage and the need for joint replacement surgery."
Surgical synovectomy is associated with a low complication rate. Post-operative stiffness is treated with physical therapy. Range of motion exercises are essential, and patients are started on continuous passive motion (CPM) machines as soon as possible. Stiffness is more likely to occur after open surgery than with arthroscopy.
Patients with pediatric hemophilia sometimes develop synovitis as a result of recurrent bleeding into a joint. Shoulders, elbows, knees, and ankles may be affected. For this patient population, in whom surgery poses multiple risks, an alternative form of treatment may be used. Radiation synovectomy (also called isotopic synovectomy) involves the injection of the radioactive isotope P32 into the joint. "This substance stops the excessive growth of synovium, decreases the amount of bleeding, and appears to decrease the potential for arthritis," says Daniel W. Green, MD, an Assistant Attending Orthopedic Surgeon at HSS.
Radiation synovectomy is administered at HSS through a joint program with physicians at New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Donna Di Michele, MD, Director of the Regional Comprehensive Hemophilia Diagnostic and Treatment Center, works with Dr. Green and Robert Schneider, MD, Chief of the HSS Division of Nuclear Medicine, in treating young patients. Although radiation synovectomy has been used at other centers in the United States for more than 30 years, this program is the first in the New York City area.
Radiation synovectomy does not require hospitalization. After undergoing a pre-operative evaluation, the patient has an arthrogram, an x-ray of the joint that helps guide the placement of the needle. A topical anesthetic is administered, and the isotope is injected. The procedure takes about five minutes.
Radiation synovectomy: injection of radioactive isotope P32 into the knee joint
"This radioactive isotope is believed to be very safe," says Dr. Green. "We've now treated about 40 children with good results. In addition to the benefits described, radiation synovectomy avoids the problem of post-operative stiffness associated with surgery." Moreover, for some patients with hemophilia who have antibodies to their clotting factor and therefore can not tolerate surgery, radiation synovectomy is the only treatment option. Unlike patients with inflammatory arthritis, patients with hemophilia generally do not take any medication to control further growth of the synovium.
