MAJOR FINDINGS from the Intercollegiate Studies Institute:
- While College Fails to Adequately Transmit Civic Knowledge, It Influences Opinion on Polarizing Social Issues
- Compared to College, Civic Knowledge Exerts a Broader and More Diverse Influence on the American Mind
- Civic Knowledge Increases a Person's Regard for America's Ideals and Free Institutions
Again, I believe the answer is yes. The serious question is this: Is that an intentional outcome or just an unintended consequence resulting from ill-informed, misguided educators? The answer to that is more nuanced.
Read the interesting study here and come to your own conclusions.

Quake amputees embody resilience in broken Haiti
By Tom Brown
PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - Sprinting on their crutches at breakneck speed, the young soccer players who lost legs in Haiti's earthquake last year project a symbol of hope and resilience in a land where so much is broken.
Playing a weekend warm-up match days before the anniversary of the devastating January 12 quake, the players control the ball artfully with their good legs, avoiding "illegal" contact with their crutches.
The teams train on a dusty pitch near Cite Soleil, Haiti's largest slum on the outskirts of the wrecked capital Port-au-Prince. They faced off again on Monday in the National Stadium as part of a low-key yet poignant commemoration of the disaster that killed around a quarter of a million people.
"Everything can't get fixed after the earthquake but life goes on," said Mackendy Francois, whose friends used a hacksaw to cut off his left leg below the knee when they freed him from the rubble of a shirt factory a year ago.
Thousands of people lost limbs in the earthquake, which left more than 1 million Haitians homeless and living in misery in the already poor, calamity-prone Caribbean nation.
"Life didn't end when I lost a leg," Francois, 23, told Reuters.
He said he felt proud to represent his team against opposing side Zaryen, named after the Haitian Creole term for a tarantula because of the way the hardy spider keeps on going even after it loses a leg.
The players got treatment, athletic training and prosthetic limbs thanks to a joint effort by Miami's Project Medishare and the Knights of Columbus, which committed more than $1 million to the prosthetics and therapy program. Continued...

The Eagles caretaker is hoping an appointment will be made sooner rather than later after watching his side lose 2-0 to West Brom at The Hawthorns on Saturday afternoon
The defeat, which came after goals in either half from Saido Berahino and Gareth McAuley, is their seventh in a row, leaving them rooted to the bottom of the Premier League.
The fixture at The Hawthorns was Millen's second game in charge following Ian Holloway's departure and, after a 2-0 loss to Arsenal in his first, the stand-in coach is eager for the new boss to come in and turn things around.
"To be fair, the players have been great this week, it is not an easy situation with all the speculation around when the manager's going to come in, who it is, so the players have been focused," Millen told reporters.
"I don't think you can accuse them of not concentrating on the job in hand but it's a tough time for everyone at the club really and the chairman's not going to rush into it.
"He needs to appoint the right person but I think the sooner the better someone does come in with new ideas, a fresh voice, hopefully a little bit of luck maybe that I don't think we are getting at the moment, and things can change.
"I spoke to the chairman on Friday, he's busy doing what he needs to do, and he said to me to continue this week with training ready for the Everton game [next weekend]."

Quick tutorial
for a Bing Ads
campaign launch
launch your ads and get more customers
If you already have a Google AdWords campaign, it's easy to learn Bing Ads. All you need to do to import your Google AdWords campaign is follow these easy steps:
No search ad experience is the same, so be sure to manage and optimize your Google AdWords campaigns for Bing Ads.
*Bing Ads does not save your Google AdWords sign-in information or use that information for any purpose other than the import process.
After you sign in to your account, choose "Create a Campaign." You'll see three immediate choices:
Select your preferred campaign type, and get started.
Recommended titles include your company name or categories that will help you to organize better.
Choose the time zone your business is located in. If you'd like to include a different time zone, create another campaign with that setting.
Your budget is entirely up to you and can be adjusted at any time. Be sure to give yourself enough allowance to test performance strategies.
Present your ads in the language your customers speak. If it's not English, make sure to change the default setting of English to the correct language.
Specify where you want your ads to show as well as where you don't want them to show.
Think of it as your ad's headline. It can be direct, contain keywords or include a call to action (25 characters or less).
Expand on your products or services, and let customers know what makes your business unique (71 characters or less).
The display URL is the website address users see on your ad. It can be a shortened, easier-to-read version of the destination URL.
The destination URL is the exact website address that your customers will land on after clicking your ad.
Select keywords or search terms related to your business. When potential customers search using the terms you've chosen, your ad may show up depending on your bid.
Learn more about keywords and bid tools.
Think of it as an auction. Your keyword bid is the maximum price you are willing to pay each time your ad is clicked, but the actual cost may be much lower. If your bid is not higher than the competition, your ad might not get displayed in the top ranking search results.
Once you've saved your keywords and keyword bids, select a method of payment to activate your campaign if you haven't already. Choose the payment method that fits, like credit card or PayPal.
Learn how to choose your keywords, and see how to set your bids.
Negative keywords
Use negative keywords or negative keyword phrases to prevent your ad from showing when a search contains your keywords, but is irrelevant to your website content.
Dynamic keywords
Use dynamic keyword insertion so that when a customer searches for a term, Bing Ads inserts that term into your ad's title, text or destination URL, making your ad more relevant to that searcher. Relevant, targeted ads can help increase the click-through rate (CTR) and the conversion rate.
Refine keywords
Make sure to avoid duplicate entries, use more specific terms and variations like "dark roasted coffee" and "light roasted coffee," and take advantage of tools to help build your keyword list like Bing
Keyword and bid research tools
There are some great tools available to help you find the most relevant keywords for your audience and select an appropriate bid to get your ads seen. The data provided is based on historical performance from Bing Ads.
Encourage customers to call you, visit your website
or come to your store by adding ad extensions that
can support your business needs. See what each
extension adds to your ad below, and learn how
to enable Location, Call and Sitelink extensions.
Adds links into website subpages
Adds address
Adds phone number
Separate ad groups within a campaign to help easily structure and manage your ads. For example, a coffee house might have one ad group for espresso ads and a different ad group for muffins. Follow these steps to set up new ad groups:
See how to structure your campaign.
Targeting settings can help you focus a campaign on your best potential customers, so you can increase the chance that those searchers see your ads.
Get a better understanding of how your campaign is performing by setting up reoccurring reports. Click the Reports tab and under Standard reports, select any one of 18 different "Performance" reports to get statistics on an ongoing basis.
By adjusting bids to certain customers, you can help improve the odds of showing your ads to that targeted audience.
If you wanted your ads to be seen by 25-34-year-olds and your bid on the keyword "coffee" is $1.00, you would add a 20 percent bid adjustment for the age group 25-34. Now when a customer of the targeted age searches for "coffee," your bid is $1.20, and your ad is more likely to display.
Here's how to enable bid adjustments.
It's easy to measure the effectiveness of your ads. You can track conversions and other site activity — like sales, quote requests or sign-ups — associated to your ads by creating goals and pasting tracking code (or known as a tag) into the related webpages.
Here are a few ideas to help you get your ads into those favorable positions:
Your Bing Ads quality score shows you how competitive your ads are in the marketplace by measuring how relevant your keywords and landing pages are to customers' search queries. See your score on the Campaigns, Ad groups and Keywords tabs on the Campaigns page.
You should always try to have a quality score of 6 or better. Here's what the numbers mean:
The keyword is underperforming in the marketplace — perhaps it's not relevant to your ad, or the ad needs a rewrite. Its click-through rate (CTR) is lower than average compared to other similar keywords. So your ads are less likely to appear on the Bing Network when that keyword
is matched.
The keyword is competitive — your ads will show when customer search queries or other input include it — but its CTR is no better than average compared to other keywords targeting the same traffic.
The keyword is very competitive in the marketplace, and its CTR is higher than the average CTR of keywords targeting the same traffic.
If there's not enough data over the last 30 days to calculate a score, you'll see a dash (-) instead of a score.

The devastated partner of a high-flying banker who killed himself after losing his job said today: "I died the day he died."
Michael Burdin, 50, jumped in front of a train after losing his job as foreign exchange manager at the Bank of America in London.
Mandy Sroka told his inquest he was defined by his career and was devastated at being put out of work.
She told the Standard of her shock at his death, adding that he was a "funny and confident" father of one who loved music and rugby.
"If you stood in a room with 1,000 people you'd notice Michael," she said. "Everyone is in total shock because he was so popular."
The inquest heard that he had been put under "tremendous pressure" to resign. Ms Sroka, 45, from Epping, said in a statement to yesterday's inquest at Westminster coroner's court: "The way he was treated turned a very articulate man into a shell.
"He was down because he had not been able to secure positions in the banking sector and had decided to move to Yorkshire.
"If he had not lost his job he would still be alive today. I've no doubt in my mind that the reason Michael took his own life was because he lost his job."
Ms Sroka told the Standard: "He had given everything to his career and he felt he was a failure. His death was a total shock. I died the day he died."
Mr Burdin was struck down by a fast train at Wimbledon station shortly after 1pm on October 31 last year. He had left a note to Ms Sroka at their home in Shepperley.
Deputy coroner Dr Shirley Radcliffe said as she recorded a verdict of suicide: "This is a very difficult age for a male who has lost his job." Mr Burdin was originally from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, but lived in South Africa from the age of six until moving back to Britain in 1997.
He met Ms Sroka, a senior payments clerk, when they were both working at ABM Amro 15 years ago. To add to the tragedy, his mother died "of a broken heart" two months ago, said Ms Sroka. The bank declined to comment.

Organizers Say Stephens Co. Coat Drive Went Well
Organizers are thanking those that helped with a recently completed coat drive in Stephens County.
The fourth annual community coat drive organized by Family Connection and Communities in Schools of Stephens County, formerly known as Partners for Success, wrapped up earlier this month.
Family Connection and Communities in Schools Executive Director Toni Childress said she appreciates the generosity from the community that helped the drive go well again this year.
"We collected over 700 coats, hats, and gloves that we gave away," said Childress. "We gave away about 200 new and used coats to the school system to distribute and the rest of the adult coats were distributed to local shelters and agencies. As they came in, the local agencies and shelters, to pick up their coats, we had them sorted and they were able to kind of shop for what they thought their clients needed. So, it was just a wonderful day."
Childress also thanked all of the locations that served as drop-off points for the coat drive this year, as well as the AmeriCorps tutors for coordinating the coat drive this year and the 18 youth and 26 adult volunteers that helped collect and distribute the coats this year.

Dr Daniel Gomez, who completed his thesis in the School of Chemistry, has shed new light on the properties of semiconductor nano-crystals, particles only a billionth of a metre long.
He is now expanding on his work as a Research Fellow at CSIRO where he is part of a team that is working to develop new sensor applications.
Dr Gomez is working on the "fundamental science" aspect of the project – determining how to incorporate these nano-crystals as highly sensitive components in a variety of sensor devices.
With this sensing technology, it would be possible to detect very small amounts of dry particles – such as biological agents or explosives – in the air or liquid.
They could even result in more sensitive pathology, detecting minute amounts of drugs or hormonal changes in urine tests.
Dr Gomez's PhD at the University of Melbourne examined the optical properties of nano-cystals of cadmium selenide, an element commonly used by the semiconductor industry.
"When pieces of matter become smaller they change color,'' he says. "If you look at them individually against a dark background they blink like stars against the night sky. "Typically this blinking is random, just like the night sky with the stars twinkling in green, red and blue."
Dr Gomez's thesis aimed to pinpoint the factors that contributed to this blinking and determine which chemicals could be added to switch the blinking off.
It was hoped that by modifying the surface of the nano-particles they could eventually be stabilised to emit a single, brighter source of light.
Although Dr Gomez has yet to completely achieve his goal, his research was the first in the world to show that the blinking of nano-crystals could be controlled.
During his PhD candidature he published nine articles in premier scientific journals and an international examiner described his work "as one of the best studies I have ever seen".
Dr Gomez, an international student from Venezuela, set his sights on studying at Melbourne because of the international reputation of his supervisor Professor Paul Mulvaney.
His Chancellor's Prize for Science and Engineering will be presented at the University's Menzies Oration tonight (6 November).
Other winners include:
Humanities and Arts: Roland Burke who completed a thesis on human rights history;
Social Sciences: Simon Butt whose PhD analysed decisions of Indonesia's new Constitutional Court; and
Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences: Jonathan Schertzer, who developed a new method of gene therapy to enhance muscle growth and skeletal repair.

I'm currently developing a WP site using the roots theme which automatically minifies all of your CSS into one main.min.css file.
However, in IE8 a lot of the rules aren't being applied. I've read somewhere that IE8 can only read 4096 rules – is that true?
Any other thoughts on what could be causing this?
If I take away the ID all of the private posts will appear but I need only one specific ID to show. The reason I have to add the private query is because by default WordPress won't show include private posts in query results. Thanks for your help but looks like there isn't a simple solution for this!
I tried that along with p, page_id, pagename etc. Whilst they work when the page is published, they do not work when it is private. Do you think this could be a WordPress issue?
I am having trouble trying to query a single private post. I have created a custom post type called dogs, some of which are published and some of which are private.
I can query all of the dogs using the following code:
$args = array ('post_type' => 'dog', 'post_status' => array('publish', 'private')); $male_q = new WP_Query($args);
However, if I specify a name, for example:
$args = array ('post_type' => 'dog', 'name' => 'bouncer', 'post_status' => array('publish', 'private')); $male_q = new WP_Query($args);
then the query returns nothing.
Any thoughts?

But as long as its a active community then i will stick with jigoshop
Looking to find out which is the best platform for building an ecommerce wp site, i checked over the support for both but understandable they are locked down for users only.
Looking for some feedback from intermediate skilled developers on which one is best choice for future development, support and plugins
Hello i buy a fair few themes so i though i would tell you what i would look for in the health and beauty theme, i have in my time converted a few themes from here into theme
List of Do's Price lists (most beauty/dentists etc tell visitors there prices, keep them simple as the have loads of items they sell )
Simple Email booking calendar
Testimonials, (we used custom posts and a front end form for the user to submit)
portrait galleries work best as most are head or body shots (we added a before and after gallery once looked good if done right)
Groupon Mad, they all do groupon we used a plugin for this so the client could add there own deals
Facebook is really big with them, hairdressers and beauty saloons all have them
Dont's (in my opinion)
Minimalist: most clients didn't link the minimal white look Icons for services dont work – pics work well tho Large wide banners we found didnt work very well, as images are hard to source as most need people in them
good luck all
sorry please email me on my personal firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi all
one of our clients is asking for a 2-3 min promo video, that are asking for a ball park price, the video would be the same quality level as belowhttp://vimeo.com/20403071

Alex Song spoke exclusively to Arsenal Player following the North London derby against Tottenham.
You can watch the full interview on Player by clicking on the link to the right. Alternatively scroll down to read a full transcript.
Alex, how do feel after that result?
I am not feeling good because I felt we had the opportunity to do something great [on Sunday] but we didn't do it very well. We cannot concede goals like the second goal because knew before the game how Tottenham play. It was a big mistake we made. We need to learn from that because now it is not very good for us and not very good for the fans.
We need to just keep going. We can't lose games like this, it is not normal. We are not allowed to do it, for the fans and for everyone who loves Arsenal. We need to learn from this one for the future because we are not in a good situation at the moment. When everybody comes back we will feel very good and strong.
It seemed Arsenal would kick on after equalising...
We need more concentration. We attack together and we defend together and we dropped a little bit in the second half. That is why I think Tottenham scored. We have not been lucky in this game and to lose the game like this is unbelievable. We need to try and keep going because it is not good to drop now. We need to keep our heads up and try to push ourselves to learn and give the best for the future.
Arsenal being in this position is not normal. We now need to show something very good, not just for the fans but for us as well. Arsenal always fight for the first place, the top places. Now we are not in a good situation.
Is the international break coming at a good time?
Yes of course, we need everybody to come back and be good for us. At the moment we are a little bit short in the squad, we need everybody to come back and we will be stronger. I hope we don't have anybody else injured now.
It is very important for us to come back after the break with a winning mentality. We want to show that we are not down, we are here and we can do something good.
Arsenal will always fight back, won't they?
We don't have any choice now We just now need to take the good things and win every single game. We just need to be more focused now, try to defend together and try to attack together because the fans need it. We need just to make them happy. We need to win our games now. The fans did very well today and we didn't do very well for them.
The next five games are very important for us. We need to win every single one to come back and show the fans that we are ready and that we are tight to fight for the league.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

I bet this is going to generate a lot of debate!
I believe that any young student interested in mathematics should be
encouraged to use Mathematica all he wants. One can also use Mathematica to
solve equations step by step and understand the solution. I have a notebook
for young students on the step by step solution of equations at my web site.
Mathematica teaches the student to be neat. Mathematica allows the student
to integrate algebra and geometry. If the student can learn a little
functional programming he has a good start into more advanced modern
mathematics. Mathematica is a plus all the way around. The younger the

Comedian and podcaster Marc Maron announced on his show "WTF" yesterday that he shot a pilot presentation for a show about a marginally fictionalized version of himself.
"Not long ago [I] pitched a television show based on my life as I live it now. I'm a guy who does a podcast in his garage and people that people know from the world of celebrity and comedy come into my garage and they talk to me. That's a reality. Would that have been a reality 10 years ago? Would Ben Stiller have com to my garage 10 years ago? Would Conan O'Brien have been sitting here amidst my mess 10 years ago? Or even five years ago? Absolutely not. It just didn't exist as a thing that people would do ... I'm a guy, I've hit the wall with everything, I was in trouble, and now Conan O'Brien comes to my garage.
I pitched my relationship with women, my ex-wife, my father, my producer, and we created a show-world."
Ken Jeong guest-stars as himself on the mini-pilot, and Ed Asner plays Maron's father, whom "WTF" fans know to be a vitamin-obsessed bi-polar doctor who seems chronically disappointed.

Roubaix update
Josh Martell rode the Roubaix course last night in some nasty conditions. Here's what he had to say:
"Rode the course last night (from the pond, 2 laps, then back) on a specialized roubaix with 23's. The bike completely muddied/froze to the point of disfunction. Upon arrival to the car (after 2:45 mins to go only 38 mi) my bike was in the following condition; entire bike was encased in frozen mud, all spokes were just larger than the size of a pencil, rims thick with ice, cables same deal, breaks rubbing (had a new set of rear pads that are now about 50%). When I lifted the bike to the roof of the car it seemed like it was about 10lbs heavier. I am a beginner cat 5 with currently average fitness (to put things in perspective). Just thought this would be good info! See you Sunday!"Saturday is supposed to be a beautiful sunny day in the 50's. As you can see above rain is in the forecast for Sunday. Tamara has driven the course today and says it's dried up and is in solid shape. "Similar to last year."
It's a tough choice on equipment this year. I think Saturday will be the best barometer. I'll post a report from the volunteer crew heading out Saturday.

TTTT Round 4
Yesterday's TTTT was the last chance to see athletes prior to the Grizzly Triathlon and Rocky Mountain Roubaix. It's fun to see everyone's preparation style. Most folks decided to stay indoors. The wind was blowing and mid-day snow scared numerous participants.
Overall Standings
Round 4 Results
The riders that did come out were rewarded with a character building ride ahead of the biggest spring weekend. Also, throwing down a time were Alan Adams and Adam Jensen. Alan was fresh off of a big win in the Frozen Flatlands Time Trial and Adam has just finished 16th in a stacked pro field at 70.3 in Cali. These two would do battle with series leader Johnny Montana and James. In the end AA/AJ combo was too much for the young guns. Alan won the day with a 12:02 and Adam finished a close second with a 12:06. 3rd was John with a 12:18.
Only the strongest ladies showed in the worse conditions thus far. Series leader Kellie Carim continues to impress, taking the win with a 14:01. Campbell was second with a 14:10 and for the first time this year Meg Gaskill came out and put in a fabulous, 14:14. Most folks don't know this put that trio is going for the conference championship in the team time trial. Watch out for the Griz in that event!
So looking ahead to this weekend. Jessie is still on form and will lead a strong group to Walla Walla with Seth, Brian, Lily, Campbell, Wes, and Kellie. Johnny MT solidified his stance as a top 7 candidate in the Griz Tri, as did Lacy.
Next week is the last week of the TTTT. Series finale time! Prizes and lots of fun.
UM Tri made a big jump this week. 18 to 13 Triathlon.
The top photo is of Lacy giving her all at Frozen Flatlands last weekend. Lacy has put in big time effort on the bike this year and I think it's going to pay off at the Grizzly Triathlon.

TTTT 5:30 Today! Last chance before the GRIZZZZZZ
Today is round 4 of the Taco Tuesday Time Trial. Our overall leaders are John Fitzgerald and Kellie Carim. Round 3 saw two course records fall. Tamara Bessette and Brian Williams laid down some fast times. With nasty weather planned for today it's un-likely we see those records fall today.
However I do know of some special guests who plan on laying down a time.........he eats bolts for dinner......
I posted a little preview video for the Grizzly Triathlon. Just a couple notes on Saturday's race. Downtown Joel Brown and myself will be announcing all day. Come stop by! We're planning on streaming the transition area live on U-stream. Also, I'll be providing updates via twitter. It's going to be a great day.
Remember this is just day 1 of an incredible weekend. Day 2 is the Rocky Mountain Roubaix. MTcx is going to give a special prize to the athlete with the lowest combined finish places (i.e. 1st in the Griz, 2nd in Roubaix = a score of 3)
On that note....I've been brewing something up for Rolling Thunder. For 2010 I've decided to return to the Montana Heritage. Rolling Thunder will be October 16th and the Hellgate Duathlon will be October 17th. As always each race will be scored separately, however MTcx will be hosting an underground competition. Best combined finish in Thunder and Hellgate wins.
Who is the best athlete in Montana? Maybe we should play night time street ball on Saturday night just to keep things well rounded.

Frozen Flatlands
I wasn't at the race this weekend, but it looks like there was a solid Montana contingent. For results click here. For photos by TU on Smugmug click here.
Highlights include wins by Josh Tack in Sunday's RR and Alan Adams in the time trial. Also taking the masters tt and GC was Eric Greenburg. Other highlights include Flathead Russ taking 3rd in the cat 3 GC.
There was a strong group of Montana ladies. Ivy represented in the 1,2,3 race and Joey/Lacy worked it in the 4's.
Great work MT riders. It looks like the form is coming just in time for the Roubaix.
TTTT tomorrow @ 5:30.

Does anyone know of a real world way to evaluate the effects of a thermal mass wall recently installed in my home?
I am not lazy, so I did an internet search but the topic seems to be more scientific then practical. I mean I know water is 4 times as efficient as the rock I used, BUT I do have a wife and do take pride in my home, and a rock wall seemed to be a practical AND aesthetically pleasing at the same time.
My intent was to improve my pot bellied stoves heating properties, and to get rid of one ugly piece of tin that was required to protect my walls from intense radiant heat. I live in Maine and have plenty of rocks, so I built this yesterday hoping to improve the looks of my stove, and to gain a little heating advantage since my house is tight enough to allow firing it once per day on the dawn and eve of the heating season (Fall and Spring).
Some of the rocks get intensely hot, while others do not seem to absorb as much which I understand is going to happen, but as a whole what is the best way to figure out if this rock wall behind my stove was worth doing? The rocks were free, as was even the diesel fuel for my tractor (long story) so I do not have a dime invested in it, but it took me 4 hours to find, haul and stack the rocks. The wife is OKAY with the looks of it...if it works. Now I need a way to justify if it stays or goes.
Any idea on how to do that?
Statistics are as follows:
Dry stacked rocks with no mortar between them
1.8 cubic yards
Slate and Granite construction mostly
4 Hour construction time
No passive solar heat: built on Northeast Wall
Here is the link to a Flickr Photo of it. (Note: My floor is currently bare concrete because we live on a thermal mass slab and are in the middle of a kitchen remodel and have yet to install the tile floor due to construction of the new kitchen).

Nabil Maleh a native of Damascus has made many pioneering contributions to the history of Syrian filmmaking. He was the first Syrian director to learn his craft abroad, in Prague. He returned to Damascus in 1964, soon after the establishment of the General Organization for Cinema (now the National Film Organization) as the country's sole feature film production entity, Ahlaam (Dreams) and Rajolan wa Imra' (Two men and a Woman). He then began working with the General Organization on documentary and narrative shorts, as well as Syria's first experimental films, such as the internationally acclaimed Naplam (1970), a 90-second reaction to the horror in Palestine and Vietnam, and Sakhr (Rocks, 1970), about horrendous conditions for quarry workers. His commitment to the Palestinian cause was further demonstrated in 1970, when he directed one part of the trilogy Rijal Tahta al-Shams (Men Under the Sun) and when audiences associated the historical rebel hero of Al Fahd (The Leopard, 1972) with contemporary Palestinian fighters.
He made two more features for the General Organization in the 1970s, but in 1981, he went to America to teach film in Texas and California, then settled in Geneva, before moving to Greece, where he would pass the next ten years and write the screenplay for his most popular film, Al Compars (The Extras, 1993), which DIFF is screening alongside (The Leopard).
Now based again in Damascus, he has recently worked exclusively with private, mostly European producers, completing the first British-Syrian co-production, the narrative feature The Hunt Feast (2004), and is developing a number of projects. We are proud and delighted that Nabil Maleh will be attending DIFF to present The Leopard and The Extras and answer audience questions.
Who would have believed that an MA in Mass Communication would prove to be perfect preparation for the man who would redefine star power in Bollywood by becoming the brightest and most influential figure in the Indian film constellation? From a television debut as Abhimanyu in Fajui (1988) to debut feature film Deewana (1992), to the first success in Darr (1995), in which he exploded on the screen, Sharhrukh Khan became the "must-have" actor required by producers to ensure the success of their films.
An actor with enormous influence, he believes cinema can be a powerful vehicle for social change, even in easing the decade old stand-off between India and Pakistan. However, he also believes that film should provide unadulterated enjoyment and fun to audiences the world over. He has had particular success as the romantic lead in love stories, and is renowned for his uncanny ability to develop palpable "chemistry" with his heroines, such as Preity Zinta and Aishwarya Rai. He branched out and assumed two very different personas in Swades and Paheli, neither of which were hits, although both are fine films.
Widely known simply as SRK, he has been particularly successful in his work with Yash Chopra of YashRaj Films, and Karan and Yash Johar of Dharma Productions. He owns two production companies, Dreamz Unlimited and Red Chillies Entertainment, through which he has produced hits such as Chalte Chalte (screening in this DIFF tribute along with Main Hoon Na), and the Oscar-nominated Paheli. A winner of six Filmfare awards for Best Actor, lead actor in two Oscar-nominated films (Devdas and Paheli), winner of the Rajiv Gandhi Award for Excellence in entertainment in 2002 and the Padma Shri Award in 2005 – SRK has poured his heart into his life and his work. He has been a gift to us all and we welcome him to DIFF.
Writer-director Oliver Stone, along with Clint Eastwood, is one of the few genuine mavericks working in Hollywood: both make films that are reflections on male psychologies and violence and both have had their share of controversy, but the nature of Stone's pictures has ensured that his work has been the the subject of greater and more consistent debate than Eastwood's. While his films are viewed by some as unsubtle or uncompromisingly direct, no-one can deny that he is one of the few directors who has managed not simply to survive in Hollywood but, for more than 20 years, to make films with a consistent personal vision.
After dropping out of Yale University, Stone taught in Vietnam, became a merchant seaman and then volunteered for the Vietnam war (where he won a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart). He then studied film at New York University and began his professional career by writing and directing Seizure (1974).
It was his second film as a screenwriter, Midnight Express (1978), for which he won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, that signposted the career to follow, with screenplays that include Scarface (1983) and Year of the Dragon (1985). Then, in 1986, came two very personal projects, which he wrote and directed, Salvador (screening as part of this DIFF tribute) and Platoon, the former a searing commentary on US involvement in the civil war in El Salvador, the latter prompted by his experiences in Vietnam. His later films as both writer and director included Wall Street (1987), Born on the 4th of July (1989), JFK (1991), Natural Born Killers (1994), Nixon (1995) and Alexander (2004), and he won Academy Awards for Best Director for Born on the 4th of July and Platoon; the latter also won Best Picture. It is easy to dismiss Stone's films as violent and male orientated – which, it must be admitted, they are – but that would be to miss the implicit humanity that creates powerful popular dramas from difficult subject matter: the Vietnam War, US involvement in Central America, national politics, media exploitation (Natural Born Killers), and now, World Trade Center (2006), the dramatized true story of two policemen rescued from the rubble of 9/11. We are delighted that Oliver Stone will be attending DIFF to present World Trade Center and answer audience questions.

I know there are a few threads on this so if you haven't you should do a search as well as getting advice here. Anyway I had mine in for three weeks and they were sooooooo easy to take out because I kept the moisture on point. Anyway I would just hit them with a homemade spritz of water, aloe gel, glycerin and a few oils. After lightly spritzing them I seal with an oil or burnt sugar pomade. My twist were lovely.
Hey ladies!
How do you all keep your hair moisturized while it is twisted?
I use a moisturizing spritz once a day in the winter; in the summer twice a week. I spritz after showering. The spritz I use is: Taliah Waajid Protective Mist Bodifier
Also, how often do you trim your ends?
I trim twice a year.
And does any one else have the problem of hair being thicker at the roots than the ends? What is that all about and how do I fix it?
one: it should be moisturized BEFORE twisting. so if you're using a deep conditioner and products to twist that don't moisturize your hair sufficiently, you need to switch.
two: the most i may do after is massage a little oil (a blend of my own) down the length of my hair.
three: the ends are the oldest parts of your hair and more susceptible to wear, tear and breakage and will be thinner than the roots of your hair. this is normal.

Sleeping Position and Choosing a Pillow
September 20, 2012 • By
The position you sleep in has direct effects on your health. Sleeping position can affect your respiration, spinal alignment, and even wrinkling of the skin. There are proven ways to get a better nights sleep by using the right pillow, with the right amount of fill, and sleeping in the right positions.
Together, your sleeping position and pillow work to provide proper support for your head, neck and spine. You need a pillow that conforms to and supports the curve of your neck with enough firmess to support your head without collapsing. It is fine to sleep on your back or your side (or both) as long as your spine is kept in a neutral position and not bent out of alignment.
Side Sleeping Position
Sleeping on one's side is the most common sleeping position – and one of the best positions for your back. Buckwheat hull pillows are ideal for side sleepers due to their great support and ajustable thickness. When you lie on your side, your pillow needs to be thick enough to keep your spine straight, but not so thick it bends your neck out of alignment.
Many soft traditional pillows collapse under the weight of your head, or aren't thick enough in the first place. Using a thicker pillow or two pillows does not compensate for most pillows' lack of proper neck support. Many people even fold their pillow in half when attempting to make up for a pillow that is too soft.
When you lie down to go to bed tonight make sure there is support under your neck, and that your spine is straight. This should allow your back and neck muscles to completely relax.

Read more: What Are the Best Firm Pillows for Side Sleepers?
Back Sleeping Position
Sleeping on one's back is the second most common sleeping position after side sleepers. When you lie on your back many pillows do not properly support the space beneath your neck, causing muscle strain. Buckwheat hull pillows create a nice bulge beneath your neck that can be supremely comfortable, allowing your neck and back muscles to relax. As with side sleeping, the thickness and firmness of your pillow is important in keeping your neck and back properly aligned.
Back sleepers are also associated with snoring; while pillows are certainly not a foolproof cure for snoring, proper support and alignment of your neck and airway can sometimes lead to reduced snoring.
Read more: How to Choose the Best Pillow for Back Sleepers
Stomach Sleeping Position
If possible, avoid sleeping on your stomach as it's difficult to maintain the proper spinal position. Sleeping on your stomach forces your head and spine into an unnatural upward bend. Staying in this position for hours on end is not good for your back or neck and can result is significant discomfort and restless sleep.
If you do sleep on your stomach, you will want to have less fill in your pillow than someone who sleeps on their side or back. If you sleep on your stomach with a pillow that's too thick, your spine will bent at an angle which is more likely to cause aches, pains, numbness or tingling of the spine and limbs. You may also want to place a pillow under your pelvis and lower abdomen to alleviate strain on your neck and back. That said, it is still generally recommended that you do not sleep on your stomach.

Your Sleeping Position Matters
It may seem impossible to control the position you sleep in since you aren't aware while sleeping. It is possible and it can make a considerable difference in the amount and quality of sleep you get. When going to sleep, or if you wake up in the night, make a conscious effort to follow these guidelines until it becomes a habit:
- Keep your body in a "mid-line" position, where both your head and neck are kept as straight as possible. The best sleeping positions to do this are sleeping on your side or sleeping on your back.
- Buckwheat pillows form to fit your neck and spine as you change positions throughout the night, making them the best choice for your neck and spine health.
- According to the Mayo Clinic, "The most common sleeping position is on your side, with your legs and hips aligned and flexed. Because this position leaves your upper leg unsupported, the top knee and thigh tend to slide forward and rest on the mattress, rotating the lower spine. This slight rotation may contribute to back or hip pain. To prevent that problem, place a pillow between your knees and thighs…If you sleep on your back, place a pillow under your knees to help maintain the normal curve of your lower back. You might try a small, rolled towel under the small of your back for additional support. Support your neck with a pillow."
Regardless of your sleeping position, look into the various pillows for neck pain. A buckwheat pillow is a great choice for comfort and restful sleep. Buckwheat hulls provide fantastic support of your spine, particularly the curves of your neck. Depending on your personal sleeping preferences, it may take some time to get used to your buckwheat pillow and adjust to the right amount of fill. Once you do, you may sleep better than you've ever slept before.

November 24, 2010
Much ink has been spilled scapegoating the various newfangled nerdy types known as "quants" for the financial apocalypse. As a journeyman member of the breed, I'm considerably dismayed. As I see it, a bunch of Ivy League banker morons are blaming their misdeeds on the quiet boffins fiddling in the corner with their slide rules. We've heard plenty from the perfumed princes of the plutocracy, a caste which presently seems to own all three government branches. Perhaps it's time we heard a few ideas from the tall-forehead set. Quants are people who think outside of the box; their solutions to problems are often elegant and obvious—the type of thing which would never occur to a banker.
Since I know a lot of quants, both from my day job and from my blog, I'll abuse my privileges as a scribbler and shamelessly tout two good ideas. In the interest of full disclosure, I'll note that the ideas' originators have dangled before me the princely bribe of offering to buy me lunch. They did so before I wrote this, so my choice of their ideas is honest. I'm not looking for a job. These guys can't help me with my business, nor do any of them particularly share any of my political ideals: Their ideas simply make sense to me. This is a guarantee you can't get from any of the other ideas being floated out there. Politicians are always looking to line their pockets and increase their power. Most of the ideas that get into the public eye, from the recent disgusting "healthcare reform" (brought to you, more or less, by the AMA and insurance companies) to the moral panic over "high-frequency trading" (brought to you by people with a vested interest in keeping trading inefficient) are actually carefully crafted messages paid for by people with skin in the game. These two good ideas are from honest men who only want to see things work better.
The first idea is by David Kane of Kane Capital Management. It is an actual SEC proposal submitted before the financial crisis but which addresses a root cause of America's financial woes. The idea is as follows:
The SEC should pass a regulation requiring that all publicly traded companies allow their shareholders to vote on the following (binding) resolution each year.
"The total compensation of both the CEO and the CFO shall not exceed $1 million in the coming fiscal year…."
Some would say that this plan won't work since the companies whose shareholders agree to pay more than $1 million per year (whether they be public or private companies) will snap up all the "best" executive talent. Maybe. But, our ability to measure executive talent is so limited that it would be hard for any company to easily identify a CEO candidate who is significantly better than many other candidates for the job.
I can see some of you shifting uncomfortably in your seats. Is this Locklin character some kind of communist? Nothing of the sort. Most modern corporations are not managed as they were intended. These days, it is normal for high-flying CEOs to obtain tens or hundreds of millions in compensation from corporations they had nothing to do with creating simply because they're connected enough with board members to land the "job." At best, these privileged bozos act as a sort of success totem or celebrity. Look at Carol Bartz of Yahoo!, an overprivileged, EEOC-trophy dunderhead who managed to…I don't know what this brittle chiseler did for Yahoo!'s shareholders. She fired a lot of people and isn't Jerry Yang, and that's apparently worth $39 million.
Kane's rule would make clowns such as Bartz more accountable to shareholders, who are generally asleep at the wheel. It would also tend to lower executive salaries across the board. What CEO is going to want cronies who make more money than them? Finally, if a CEO exists who is really worth more than a million a year, shareholders can vote for him to be justly compensated.
This rule does nothing to privately held companies. It does nothing to entrepreneurs who found their own companies. In fact, it encourages these alleged organizational geniuses to start a company which actually proves their merits. If you're a CEO worth $100 million a year and can only get $1 million running an already existing publicly traded company, you'll be that much more inclined to found a new company, thus creating wealth and jobs for the nation. People lose sight of the fact that publicly traded companies do not exist to generate wealth for their executives; they exist to create wealth for the public who owns them. The disgusting oligarchy that has ruined our great corporations with excessive debt, outsourcing, and short-term thinking would be given the pay cut they so richly deserve, and the proceeds would be handed out to the people for whom they were intended: the widows and orphans who own shares in the company.
This rule also does nothing to benefit people such as Mr. Kane, who deals in statistical trades rather than long-term investments. There is an entire class of hedge-fund operators that exists to remove the most egregious examples of executive graft and incompetence. If Kane's plan were put into effect, a lot of these guys would be put out of business. The fact that there's a fairly large and profitable set of funds which do nothing but buy these companies and fire their overpaid incompetent executives indicates that there is something dreadfully wrong with American capitalism. As the great predator capitalist and prose stylist Robert L. Chapman put it:
...modern capitalism is characterized by pervasive oligopoly and the separation of management from ownership. For a decade now, I have lamented publicly via Schedule 13D filings how fragmented equity ownership converts capital-risking "Owners" into un-concentrated, faceless, DTC-coded "shareholders." In this conflicted world of "Agency Capitalism," a board and its hired hands (together, the "Agents") conveniently lose sight of the most important fact of their corporate lives: the Agents work for the Owners….
The second quant idea is too late to implement now, but it is likely to come up again as long as our banks remain lunatic casinos rather than, you know, banks. Why was TARP handed out to a bunch of gambling failures? Think about this for a moment. While the financial system was broken and the consequences were terrifying, handing money to the same clowns who broke the system in the first place was…monstrous. Famed Wall Street Nerd David Leinweber and Salman Khan (of Khan Academy fame) had a different idea while this was going on. Why not use the money to start 30 new banks? Since the money comes directly from taxpayers, everyone who pays taxes can be given shares in the new banks. These new banks can be staffed by regional bankers rather than the numskulls who crashed the financial system in the first place. No government ownership, no bureaucratic meddling, no moral hazards: just plain old capitalism.
You might argue that many Americans wouldn't want their tax dollars funding such an enterprise. I can tell you one thing: Nobody wanted their tax dollars to fund the bailout of wealthy bankers who immediately awarded themselves giant bonuses. At least the Leinweber/Khan plan allows you to sell your stock if you think they're being idiots. TARP turned out reasonably well so far, but if the poop hits the prop again, a plan like this would be much more salubrious than simply forking the money over to yet another moronic zombie bank. The plan's genius is that, while TARP injected $700 billion in liquidity into a financial system which desperately needed liquidity to continue doing business, using the money to capitalize banks would actually inject a lot more, since banks are only required to have a fraction of reserves on hand.
It also brings to light another thing which nobody seems to care about, which I'll claim as my own: Why are these enormous "too big to fail" companies allowed to continue operations as they were before the collapse? If they are "too big to fail," they need to be broken up into smaller companies which are not too big to fail. The nation doesn't exist as a pool from which banks siphon wealth. Banks exist to make commerce possible. If these banks are "too big to fail," we don't need to guess at new regulations which may or may not tame these beasts. We need to make them smaller. Anti-trust acts already make this possible. All we need is someone willing to stand up to the oligarchs.

I am in the very, very early stages of researching a trip to Algeria, likely focusing on Algiers and the surrounding UNESCO sites. I'm partly motivated by my interest in seeing the casbah, especially after watching "Battle of Algiers" (my second favorite movie), and I have also read the recent Lonely Planet, which indicates that its pretty easy to reach several UNESCO sites as day trips from Algiers.
Any info, hints, visa difficulty, etc.? I'm having difficulty deciding on a trip for next February, and Algeria is a top candidate (second place is San Andres, a Colombian island in the Caribbean, so I'm all over the map; right now I don't have a candidate in third place).

Well, Algeria is out -- I'm going to pair it with Libya when I have more time, so I'm looking for a long weekend destination.

Michael -
I was in Algeria some years ago, and I was surprised at how westernized its cities (Oran, Algiers) were compared to, say, Morocco. [The exception in Morocco being Casablanca.] Not to say that Algeria isn't an interesting enough place to visit, but I'd go back to Marrakesh or even Tangiers before going back to Algiers.
Report Abuse
Thanks, I've been to Morocco, albeit more than 10 years ago, and at that time I found it very frustrating -- the most aggressive touts I've encountered.
I'd like to visit every country, so I even need to visit the less interesting ones -- I'll be in Andorra in November and Guam in December, both about which I've read mixed reviews.
So, even if Algeria is not that appealing to some, its still on my list -- and there are a lot of UNESCO sites, and I've been disappointed in only a few that I've visited.
Did you get to the casbah in Algiers?
Report Abuse
We did go to the casbah for a short while, but admittedly were extremely tired at the time.

QUOTE<<<<I'd like to visit every country, so I even need to visit the less interesting ones -- I'll be in Andorra in November and Guam in December, both about which I've read mixed reviews.>>>
I've always wondered about this. I started thinking you were working on seeing particular places when, over the years, I noticed you were visiting a lot of islands. If you want to see everywhere there sure are al ot of islands!
We're heading off on a RTW to Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, in less than two weeks.I know you did Central Asia on FF mile and I still can't believe UA considers Ashgabat Europe. CA will be followed by India, the Maldives and back via Kunming where I'm visiting a friend.
As to your weekend what about Cartegena? Though you may already have been there.Cuba could be fun. Greenland could also be an option from the East coast though perhaps February is not the best time of year! It's hard to beat the Caribbean in February.
Report Abuse
With the direct flights from NYC to Dakar you could do west africa (gambia or mali, etc) for an extended long weekend....but I'm guessing you have already been to those places.
Report Abuse
welltraveledbrit, sounds like a great trip -- Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are incredibly interesting, with Turkmenistan perhaps being one of the strangest places I've visited (Ashgabat is the only place where I've had the police ask me to scroll thru my digital photos so they could make sure I didn't take any photos of the presidential palace -- I later took lots of photos of it from the top of the earthquake monument, the one with the revolving Turkmenbashi statue).
I've been to Cartegena and Cuba (both great recommendations) and I'm saving Greenland for a Summer trip (trying to coordinate with the new Air Greenland flights from BWI). I'm also trying to visit the distinctive island (and island groups) -- next up is Easter Island and French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, Moreea and Rangiroa) in May. My definition of "countries" is pretty broad.
Cruisenred, I've been to West Africa, but not to those countries, but I'd like to visit that part of Africa when I have two weeks or so -- there's a lot to see. I'd be willing to spend a long weekend (say five days) in Algeria b/c I think its less safe outside the capital, so I would use Algiers as a base. In any event, I think I'm going to pair Algeria and Libya, and will save that trip for the time when independent travel is simpler (and when securing visas is guaranteed).
Report Abuse
San Andreas - a hidden secret. But lots of European and Canadians here, especially during their winters.
Flying via Panama, Colombia or one of the charters out of Canada?
Contact me!
Report Abuse
Sandi, I'm likely going to visit San Andres via Panama -- if I can add some days, I'll extend my trip to visit the San Blas islands, an autonomous community along the Panamania coast (it used to count as a separate country on the Travelers Century Club list, and even though they've dropped it, I haven't). I was at the Barnes & Noble in your neighborhood today, and some good info on San Andres in the Lonely Planet to Colombia.
Report Abuse
Michael - I got your email and replied. We should do brunch and catch up!
Report Abuse
Did you ever make it to Algeria? Looking to go there and Libya later this year if they open up for US tourists. I'm working on visiting the TCC list 'countries' as well.. was just in San Andres a few weeks ago.
Report Abuse
hauteboy, no, haven't made it yet to Algeria. Funny how things change -- I started this thread when I was planning a trip for February 2009, and at that time I was considering either Algeria or San Andres: I ended up in El Salvador. The Algeria visa is tough.
I finally think I'll make it to San Andres and Providencia (visiting both islands) next July -- I'm just waiting for the seats to open on Copa and I'll grab them with 35,000 Continental miles.

I hope you get to Algeria some day, Thitcho. What's your favorite movie if "Battle of Algiers" is #2?
Report Abuse
Lynn, the best movie (by far) that I have ever seen is "Soy Cuba" (English translation = I am Cuba).
So, my top 5 would be (I could watch any of these many times):
Soy Cuba
Battle of Algiers
City of God
The Bicycle Thief
Cinema Paradiso (trite, but I never tire of watching it)

Flying Without Guidance
By Joseph Lisanti
Fourth-quarter reported earnings have not been too bad. But the market has continued to slide as the reporting season progresses.
It's not the recent earnings performance that has investors concerned, but rather the tepid guidance that corporations have been giving for the near future. A few companies have warned that coming quarters will be weak. Some have set a new policy of not providing guidance to analysts and investors. But much of the nervousness has been the result of "poor visibility" on future sales and earnings.
In plain English, these companies are saying that there are too many uncertainties (consumer confidence, capital spending and international tensions, for example) to predict with any confidence what will happen in their businesses. That's keeping many buyers on the sidelines. And the weaker dollar means that foreign investors will not soon be taking up the slack, since their U.S. investment returns will be trimmed when converted back into their own currencies.
December and January are traditionally two of the strongest months for the S&P 500. The 6% drop last month looked like it would be reversed in the first days of trading in January. But the early gains have evaporated in subsequent trading sessions. That worries S&P chief technical analyst Mark Arbeter, who notes that a down first month in 2003 would make three weaker-than-average December-January periods in a row for stocks.
Technically, the market action has been sloppy, but we still believe that stocks will be higher by the end of 2003, boosted by an improved economy and the resolution of international problems. Nevertheless, the path to higher prices will be far from straight.
The recent market retreat has somewhat tempered our bullishness. We now expect the S&P 500 to reach 930 at midyear (down from our previous estimate of 990) and 1005 at yearend (from 1050). Our forecast still represents a 14% gain from yearend 2002 to the final trading day of this year.

Ga. DNR Reports Final July 4th Weekend Numbers
The final numbers for the July 4th holiday weekend from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources show a drop in BUI reports from the last time the 4th was adjacent to a weekend.
From Friday to Sunday, the DNR said it had 36 reports of Boating Under the Influence.
That is less than 44 BUI reports in 2011, which was the last time that July 4th fell adjacent to a weekend.
DNR Spokesman Mark McKinnon said Rangers worked around the clock in many areas this weekend to try and keep the waters safe.
The DNR is reporting two serious boating incidents, one near Little Tybee Island and the other on Lake Allatoona.
McKinnon said that DNR Rangers will continue to patrol and educate the public on boating and water safety throughout the summer.
That includes informing people of requirements under the new boater education law.
That law took effect on July 1 and says that anyone born on or after January 1, 1998 must take an approved boating safety class before operating a boat or personal watercraft on Georgia waters.
The law went on to say that people must then carry proof with them that they have taken that class when on the lake.

We've got a big local population of Honkers that come to town in the morning, spend the day, then fly back to the marsh in the evening to roost.
One of the biggest hangouts for em is on my daily walk route, in one of the parks. (Avg 70 birds and peaks about 150.) Typically there's several crosses in the family units, some of them quite clear, some subtle. We've run into some of these same birds on the marsh during the season, knowing from the telltales of the crosses. Really gets the blood pumping when you are working a bunch of birds you are familiar with and know for sure that a couple of them are sportin iron. Not real easy to wait long enough to see the bands.
Anyway, to shorten this up, there's the most bands I've ever seen on the park this year. 16 today for 81 birds, a pretty good ratio. Lookin good!
Short story bout the park honkers. They tend to drag the real park Graylags with them sometimes (if they're able to fly.) A few years back we were on our way out for a nooner on one of the local areas. Come up on a guy with a cart, had 2 of the biggest Graylags out of the park strapped, big orange topknots on the bills and all. He was one happy camper! Said they were the first Tule Geese he'd ever taken. We didn't have the heart to tell him any different, his smile was too big. He told us he'd jumped them off the levee and was surprised they let him get up on em. Told us there was more, if we were interested, and theat there were even some huge snows too. (These were regular park geese also). I hope he breasted em instead of picking and cleaning cause he'd of been pretty perplexed finding cigarette butts, plastic worms, matchsticks etc.
We talked to the then Asst Sup for the area, Conrad Jones, who said they'd come in with the Honks earlier in the week and evidently decided it was too much work to get home, or didn't know how to get there.
What would the limit have been on those birds?
One of life's mysteries.

Specifically, RIM sent an email out to employees very recently highlighting the company's intentions of discontinuing the 16GB version of the BlackBerry PlayBook. However, they do point out that the existing 32GB and 64GB models will still be available for purchase. Before some of you go out to your local electronics retail store to see if any fire sales are going on with it, just know that this move simply means that stores won't be seeing any replenishment for its stock – meaning, stores will just continue to sell it at the current price until they're gone.
RIM specifically gives a clear-cut reason for the discontinuation, as they say that there is more value found with the higher capacity models. Indeed, it makes plenty of sense considering that 16GB is pretty paltry by today's standards – and it doesn't help that there isn't any storage expandability with the PlayBook.
BlackBerry PlayBook 4G will be available in 32GB and 64GB capacities – with no option for a 16GB version. Seeing that tablets are known to be house a ton of multimedia content, it wouldn't surprise us if RIM decides on not producing a base 16GB version of the PlayBook 4G. Therefore, if 16GB is somehow adequate enough, then you'd better head on over to a local electronics store and pick one up before they're gone for good.

Ed Schultz: Hate Speech to Call Me Fat, Fair Game When I Malign Chris Christie for Same
Liberal radio host and aspiring MSNBC flamethrower Ed Schultz remains unrivalled as a bottomless pit of buffoonery.
It's not just the most recent example, as described by NewsBusters' Mark Finkelstein, of a hefty Schultz maligning New Jersey governor Chris Christie as a "cold-hearted fat slob."
Weeks earlier, back on Sept. 1, Schultz said this on MSNBC's "The Ed Show" about criticism he'd received from fans of Glenn Beck (hat tip to Pam Key at The Blaze for embedded video) --
SCHULTZ: By the way, I do want to mention the fact that I've gotten a lot of emails from Beck's fans, I guess, and they always like to say I'm fat, hey you fat. I just want you to know that I was fat right after college, I've been fat for a long time, I was fat yesterday, I'm fat today, I'm going to be fat tomorrow. Why? Because I like to eat stuff. I'm kind of a normal American and I get passionate about issues when I see jobs that are being shipped out overseas.
You Beck supporters that have been leaving me hate voicemails and hate emails, bring it on baby, just bring it on. I got the truth on my side.
... and one helluva chip on his shoulder when it comes to Christie, as evident on Schultz's radio show yesterday.
First, here's Schultz talking about reaction to his "cold-hearted fat slob" slander of Christie (audio here) --
I have to admit, as much as that has taken place on 'The Ed Show' in recent months, I'm surprised that this is getting the Huffington Post attention that it's getting 'cause I normally don't get any attention on Huffington Post. I guess you just have to call somebody a cold-hearted fat slob.
... at which point even Huffington Post decides they'll make an exception from their usual policy of ignoring Schultz as a bellowing embarrassment to liberals.
Schultz proceeded to describe Christie's confrontation with a heckler at a rally for California GOP gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman (audio here) --
You know, Christie, he was treating those people in the crowd like a pack of rats, like saying, hey come follow me, I'm the big rat on the block, I'm gonna get in this guy's face and I'm gonna point at him and that'll be signal for all of you to back me up on this. It's the body language and of course he's got a lot of it. Now, I've (laughs), I've been enjoying the blog traffic over the weekend because I'm fat too. I ain't as fat as him! You know?! (laughs) Anybody who's fat can speak with authority.
More on Christie challenging the heckler (audio) --
He is an out of touch, smug bully. Out of touch because he has no solutions for education, smug bully because we've seen how he works a crowd. And he has absolutely no respect for the people that are part of the process. He didn't care. He was going to talk down and shout that guy down. That's exactly what he did. Instead of going over and say, sir, OK, hold on a second, you want something asked, all right, all right. He couldn't manage it. He managed it with anger and he tried to put fear in the guy. And that's who they are. He's a slob. He just wallowed all over that town hall meeting, threw his weight around, in character, and expects everybody to respect him.
As Schultz continued talking about Christie yesterday, it became clear the hinges were loosening (audio) --
The point in this is that Christie is dangerous to America, on a number of different fronts. If you're against the American worker, if you're against people getting a paycheck, if you think it's all about the top 2 percent, you're not American!
... leading to this gem of left-wing gender and racial McCarthyism (audio) --
Equal opportunity is a commitment that this country made decades and centuries ago. Equal opportunity, hell, under Chris Christie, women probably wouldn't even be voting if he had his way! Under Chris Christie, we'd probably have people still in the back of the bus.
Seize him! Which is how criticism would be handled "under" Ed Schultz.
