Nest Labs today said it will "vigorously defend" itself from a patent infringement lawsuit filed by thermostat giant Honeywell.
The startup issued a statement two days after it got hit with the suit along with Best Buy, which sells its smart thermostat. The lawsuit seeks damages and an injunction to halt the sales of Nest's Learning Thermostat.
Nest Labs' statement from today is:
"We at Nest are proud of creating products that bring true innovation to home efficiency and we are continuing to innovate and bring products to market. The Nest Learning Thermostat is already making a difference, saving customers energy and money. Nest will vigorously defend itself against Honeywell's patent-attack strategy to stifle thoughtful competition and we have the resources, support and conviction to do so."
Nest Labs, founded by former high-profile Apple engineers, has brought a dash of excitement to the sleepy business of programmable thermostats. Its sleek Learning Thermostat, which costs $250, creates a heating and cooling schedule based on a consumer's temperature settings after a few days.
It can also be controlled from a smartphone or computer. The product has gotten rave reviews from tech columnists and is currently sold out.
Honeywell's suit contends that Nest Labs engineers knowingly infringed at least seven patents. The suit claims that Honeywell has seemingly broad patent protection for a number of smart-thermostat features, including a "natural language" interface where people pick settings by answering questions on a display and drawing power from wires.

Beards are certainly a fashion statement, but according to a study out of Australia, they may be so much more than that, The Daily Mail reports.
Researchers at the University of Southern Queensland found that the facial covering beards and mustaches provide serves to protect the face from the sun and the skin from aging, thanks to 30 percent less exposure to harmful UV rays.
Beards may also trap allergens that cause asthma attacks, protect the bearded masses from catching colds and help keep skin from drying out, according to the report.

CyberKnife for Bone Metastases
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Is there any information on the use of CyberKnife to treat bone metastases in the chest area [that are] associated with recurrent NSCLC?
Carolyn Vachani RN, MSN, AOCN, OncoLink's Nurse Educator, responds:
There have been quite a few studies using CyberKnife for spinal metastases (vertebral bones), mostly because this system is very helpful in sparing the spinal cord from unwanted irradiation. In some cases, it may also allow for re-treatment with re-irradiation of the same area, which is generally not done due to spinal cord tolerance constraints.
However, there is nothing in the published medical literature specifically on bone metastases in the chest area being treated with CyberKnife, likely because this body site can be effectively treated by conventional radiation therapy methods.

Sandra's Prayer Request, Sep. 19th, 2016Written by Jacob Prasch
Sandra asks for prayer for her and her husband and that God will lead her husband to Truth.
I didn't know whether or not my request to you for prayer is acceptable protocol, but necessity brings me here.
I've been married for over 33 years. Dan was an atheist when I married him, I a pagan. I was converted to Christ within 18 months of marriage, and shortly after a Great War with Dan, he also embraced Christianity. Along the line my husband became indifferent to the things of God. Really too much to write concerning the in between. Only that he has been addicted to pornography for a very long time, and much has been lost because of it.
He has informed me that he 'through much research' has embraced preterism and replacement theology, and that we have been lied too. It's funny, I have endured years of financial, emotional, physical neglect, and mistreatment,
But somehow I am having such a hard time dealing with this blatant heresy! I believe strongly in marriage, and have seen the goodness of God in my life in spite of all I've endured, and know that my place is here. Yet, this is harder for me climb through.
I need prayer. Not many saints out there who really pray any more. Sad, and difficult times when your supposed Hebrons are no where to find. I don't know if you would, but I need grace to help me in my time of need. I am praying, and fasting.
Thank you for taking the time.

C.S. Lewis' THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS Returns to Colorado Springs, 4/27
THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS will return to Colorado Springs for two performances only, after selling out in 2011. The limited engagement will run at the Pikes Peak Center, 190 South Cascade Avenue in Colorado Springs, on Saturday, April 27, 2013 at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.
The National Tour of THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS kicked off after a hit nine-month run at The Westside Theatre in New York City. Prior to that, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS was a sold out hit in Chicago and Washington D. C. where it ran for a combined eight months.
Presented by Fellowship for the Performing Arts, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS is produced and directed by award-winning actor Max McLean who created the role in New York.
Now in its third smash year, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS' National Tour has played to capacity audiences in over 50 major cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Atlanta and Seattle. Over 250,000 have seen this production on tour, which continues to attract a national following.
THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS creates a topsy-turvy morally inverted universe set in an eerily stylish office in hell, where God is called the "Enemy" and the devil is referred to as "Our Father below." The play follows His Abysmal Sublimity Screwtape, Satan's top psychiatrist (due to his profound understanding of human nature), and his slavish creature-demon Toadpipe, as they train an apprentice demon, Wormwood, on how to ruin the life and damn the soul of an unsuspecting human on earth.
Screwtape is portrayed by award winning actor Brent Harris, who played Scar in the National Tour of The Lion King, Lucifer in Dr. Faustus, Iago in Othello, Salieri in Amadeus, Olivier in Orson's Shadow, Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird, and the title role in Macbeth. He is regularly seen in many of America's great theatre companies such as American Repertory Theatre, Seattle Rep, Denver Center Theatre, Oregon Shakespeare, and D.C.'s Shakespeare Theatre Company.
Along with The Chronicles of Narnia (including The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe), The Great Divorce and Mere Christianity, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS is still one of Lewis' most popular and influential works. The book's piercing insight into human nature and the lucid and humorous way Lewis makes his readers squirm in self-recognition made it an immediate success. When first published in 1942 it brought worldwide fame to this little-known Oxford don including the cover of Time Magazine.
The idea for Screwtape first came to Lewis after listening to Hitler's Reichstag Speech on July 19, 1940, while it was simultaneously translated on BBC Radio. Lewis wrote "I don't know if I'm weaker than other people, but it is a positive revelation to me how while the speech lasts it is impossible not to waver just a little... Statements which I know to be untrue all but convince me...if only the man says them unflinchingly."
Lewis dedicated it to his close friend J. R. R. Tolkien who had expressed to Lewis that delving too deeply into the craft of evil would have consequences. Lewis admitted as much when he wrote "Though I had never written anything more easily, I never wrote with less enjoyment . . . though it was easy to twist one's mind into the diabolical attitude, it was not fun, or not for long. The work into which I had to project myself while I spoke through Screwtape was all dust, grit, thirst, and itch. Every trace of beauty, freshness, and geniality had to be excluded."
THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS is produced by New York City based Fellowship for the Performing Arts. Max McLean serves as the Producing Artistic Director. McLean, along with Jeffrey Fiske, wrote and directed the theatrical adaptation. Executive Producer and General Manager is Ken Denison of Aruba Productions. Scenic Design is by Cameron Anderson, Costumes by Michael Bevins, Lighting Design by Jesse Klug, and Original Music and Sound Design by John Gromada.
The performance schedule for THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS is Saturday, April 27 at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets are $39 - $59. There are a limited number of student seats for $25 (student ID required). For groups of 10 or more (including student groups) call 866.476.8707.
To purchase tickets, visit www.ScrewtapeonStage.com, call 719-520-7469 or visit the box office at the Pikes Peak Center, 190 South Cascade Avenue in Colorado Springs.

Design of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements Using Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebars
Publication No. FHWA-HRT-05-081
FHWA, in a cooperative agreement with West Virginia University, is performing a research study entitled Development and Deployment of Second Generation FRP Composites Applied to Concrete Pavements. This publication, Design of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements Using Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Rebars, documents the third of four tasks within that study. The corrosion resistance characteristics of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebars make them a promising substitute for conventional steel reinforcing rebars in continuously reinforced concrete pavements (CRCPs). Studies are conducted on the effect of using GFRP rebars as reinforcement in CRCP on concrete stress development, which directly relates to the concrete crack formation that is inevitable in CRCP. Under restrained conditions, concrete volumes change because of shrinkage and temperature variations, causing early-age cracks in CRCP.
In this study, an analytical model has been developed to simulate the shrinkage and thermal stress distributions in concrete due to the restraint provided by GFRP rebars in comparison with the stresses induced by steel rebars. The results show that the stress level in concrete is reduced with GFRP rebars because of the low Young's modulus of GFRP. In addition, the analytical model has been used to estimate concrete strain variation in reinforced concrete slabs because of changes in concrete volume. Results then were compared with the experimental observation. Finite element (FE) methods also were developed to predict the stress distribution and crack width in the GFRP-reinforced CRCP section that is subjected to the concrete volume changes under various CRCP design considerations. Examples include the coefficient of thermal expansion of concrete, the friction from the pavement's subbase, and the bond slip between concrete and reinforcement.
Based on the results from the FE simulation along with the mechanistic analysis, a series of feasible designs of the GFRP-reinforced CRCP has been proposed. The stress levels in the GFRP reinforcement, the crack widths, and the crack spacings of the proposed pavements are shown to be within the allowable design requirements.
The document is available online at www.fhwa.dot.gov/pavement/pccp/pubs/05081/. Free printed copies are available from the R&T Product Distribution Center. Printed copies also may be purchased from NTIS. The NTIS order number is PB2006-101243.
Why Your Agency Should Consider Asset Management Systems for Roadway Safety
Publication No. FHWA-HRT-05-077
This primer provides a general overview of asset management systems for roadway safety elements and initial guidance for agencies beginning to consider those systems. Asset management is a strategic approach to managing transportation infrastructure elements. It provides a systematic process for maintaining, upgrading, and operating physical assets cost effectively.
Information in the primer can help State departments of transportation (DOTs) increase their use of state-of-the-practice techniques on roadway safety hardware management systems. FHWA developed the primer for State DOT personnel, particularly chief engineers and other top management, involved with planning, funding, and executing roadway safety hardware management systems.

Many land managers know firsthand the damage invasive species can do to natural resources, but no one knows exactly why these species are able to out compete native plants.
This is not just a Kentucky problem, as invasive species are common throughout the world. A long-held theory, developed by biologists, hypothesizes that invasive plants are more numerous in introduced sites compared to their native, or home, range, because an ecological change occurs during their invasion that gives them an advantage over native plants. This theory is known as the abundance assumption.

Redskins' RG3 Says He'll Be Ready for July Camp
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - Quarterback Robert Griffin III says "without a doubt" that he expects to be fully recovered from knee surgery and in uniform when the Washington Redskins open training camp on July 25 in Richmond.
Griffin said Thursday he's confident because "it's a mindset" and because of how his surgically repaired right knee has progressed. The QB says "training camp's a month and a half away. That's why I say without a doubt."
He had knee surgery on Jan. 9 to repair the ACL and LCL he had torn during the playoff loss to Seattle three days earlier.
Coach Mike Shanahan says Griffin was initially projected to miss seven-to-nine months. That would mean Griffin wouldn't return before Aug. 9, the day after Washington opens its preseason schedule against Tennessee.

If you're looking to buy a tablet but just aren't sure what size is right for you, Samsung is the company to talk to. In addition to the Galaxy Tab 10.1, you can pick from the 5-inch Galaxy Note and other Galaxy Tab models at 8.9 and 7.7 inches. And now there's a refresh of the original Galaxy Tab at 7 inches.
Unlike other Samsung tablets on sale right now, the Galaxy Tab 2 is going to ship with Android 4.0 pre-installed. As you'd expect, it's an upgrade over the original P1000. The new Tab features a 1GHz dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM, and is about 1.5mm thinner than the original. There's plenty that hasn't changed substantially, like the 7-inch 1024×600 display (though the new one utilizes Super PLS tech), 3MP rear and VGA front cameras, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 3.0 support, and a 4,000mAh battery.
The new Tab will be offered with three different storage capacities — 8, 16, and 32GB. There's also a microSD slot like its predecessor for infinite expandability.
So, what about pricing? In Scandinavia, it looks like the Wi-Fi only Galaxy Tab 2 is going to sell for between $419 and $460. The 3G/HSPA+ version will command an extra $100. It's expected to launch sometime in March, and will at least arrive in the UK then as well. Samsung hasn't gotten specific about launch dates or carriers in other countries yet.
As the sequel to the former Android tablet standard bearer, it will be interesting to see if the Galaxy Tab 2 can compete with the current champ — Amazon's Kindle Fire.

My blended family — mother, sister, stepfather, stepbrother, stepsister — moved into a big Craftsman pile built in 1910 on the banks of the Arroyo Seco in the late spring of 1971, about 10 minutes before the still-ongoing Craftsman Revival began.
I mention the latter fact because no one not rich would be able to move in there today. The parents were professional-class — librarian, physicist — but not wealthy. The price they paid for a seven-bedroom architectural gem I won't mention, because it would make anyone involved in Southern California real estate today weep uncontrollably. And not just the 1971 dollars they paid — adjusted for inflation, you'd barely be able to buy a shotgun shack in Compton for the money. That's how much property values have changed in these parts.
And I mention the Craftsman Revival because at the time big old drafty, woody places weren't cool. One reason they got cool very soon was because of the extraordinary scholarship of Randell Makinson, director of the Gamble House a few blocks away from our house, who soon became friends with my mother and stepfather, and who died this week at 81.
Randy made the reputation of Greene & Greene what it is today — among the most revered residential architects of the 20th century — with his books and his tireless promotion of the timeless beauty that is their genius style. It is a style that will never go out of style again.
Our house wasn't by the Greenes. It was designed by two other brothers, Albert and Arthur Heineman, who were in the Craftsman's Guild with them. But the 18-foot-high boulder fireplace in the entry hall was sketched out and engineered by Charles Greene, and the grandfather clock built into the same wall may have been designed by him as well.
I would see Randy around town in the years since I grew up, moved away and then moved back to Pasadena and became a journalist. He was always very friendly and I truly do appreciate what he did to educate me on the great style, and the high culture that surrounded it, that he helped revive.
We are not supposed to speak ill of the dead. But I want to mention, as a cautionary tale, the trouble that Randy got into for selling Greene & Greene artifacts anonymously once their work became so properly valuable, and to say that I profoundly believe the ethical guidelines he violated by doing so are incredibly important, and that he was wrong to get into the market.
Some of the furnishings were gifts to him from the Gambles and other Greene & Greene owners, he told The Los Angeles Times in 2005. He said that others were "collecting dust" and would have continued to do so.
"Any value they might have had," he said, "is value I have helped develop over the last half-century," he said.
And that's the point. You're driving the market, and you're not supposed to profit from it, though I recognize the temptation, and recognize as well the irony that those who did invest in such houses made out like bandits thanks in great part to Randy.
But: "Curators or guest curators may not become active dealers in the museum's area of interest," says the American Association of Museums in its ethical guidelines. The Gamble House is a museum.
The Times reported that Randy netted $2.8 million at auction with Greene & Greene artifacts, and that's not right.
What was right was his life's work helping to rescue forever the worldwide reputation of the best art that ever came out of Pasadena.

The 2012 International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012) was a memorable experience for many in the U.S. HIV community. It marked a historical moment that showed U.S. progress against HIV -- and, in truth, our ability to catch up with the HIV response in other parts of the world. President Obama lifted the HIV travel ban, allowing the conference to take place in Washington, D.C., and proposed the first ever National HIV/AIDS Strategy. U.S. Positive Women's Network (PWN) was honored to be one of two U.S. civil society partners for the conference along with the Black AIDS Institute.
For me the most moving experience of AIDS 2012 was PWN's press conference titled "From the Shadows: Women, Sex, HIV, and Violence -- How Trauma Drives the HIV Epidemic." The press conference featured Mardge Cohen, M.D., and Kathleen Weber with the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS); Edward Machtinger, M.D., with the University of California-San Francisco (UCSF) Women's HIV Program; PWNers Naina Khanna, Gina Brown, and Kathleen Griffith -- all phenomenal advocates and leaders -- and Paulette Sullivan Moore with the National Network to End Domestic Violence. We discussed the real-life experiences of women living with HIV, solutions proposed and led by women living with HIV, and the recently released UCSF and WIHS research on how violence and trauma lead to poorer health outcomes, treatment failure and death for women living with HIV.
The press conference moved me because of its power to mobilize. The press conference mobilized the PWN network to identify and articulate the violence against women issue in our communities. It pushed providers, advocates and allies alike to rethink how HIV impacts women and as a result impacts those around them. It challenged local and federal decision-makers to reevaluate their strategy to address the HIV epidemic.
In March of this year, President Obama launched the first Federal Inter-Agency Working Group on HIV/AIDS, Violence Against Women and Gender-Related Health Disparities. Over the course of 2012, advocates have voiced their support of and need for this working group. Civil society has held the working group accountable to its charge and to its mission.
Lastly, the press conference brought together movements within and outside the HIV community that may not have worked together before. In an AIDS 2012 wrap-up video interview with Ron Valdiserri, M.D, M.P.H., Gina Brown, M.D., with the U.S. National Institutes of Health eloquently discussed the behavioral and biologic risks of violence and trauma, and the need to understand and explore these associations via research.
The press conference moved me because of its power to raise awareness -- and, in raising awareness, to lift a heaviness that has prevented women living with HIV, providers and policymakers alike from engaging in dialogue around this issue. Violence and trauma are silenced epidemics -- even more silenced, in its nuances and impact, than the epidemic of HIV among women. In conversations with PWNers, allies, providers and decision-makers on this issue, I came to realize the depth and complexity of stigma associated with violence and trauma (and, parenthetically, how that complexity seeped into my own consciousness and my own understanding of my life experiences).
There has been a lot of movement and enthusiasm around this issue in the past year. The 2012 formation of the Federal Inter-Agency Working Group, PACHA's resolution on women and the prioritization of this topic in other federal spaces provide hope and optimism. I am particularly heartened by the positive and solution-oriented language of the press conference that included the real, lived experiences of women living with HIV. Talking about our experiences and talking about the solutions helps to combat the stigma associated with violence in our communities.
In closing, the press conference represented a moment in our collective memory and timeline that pushes forward the agenda for dealing with the impact of violence, trauma and HIV on women. It does this by building understanding between us to create new connections and identify gaps in our knowledge, and it does this by freeing the voices of those who did not have the vocabulary or support to speak their truth.

Law firm combats dwindling court order compliance by promoting recovery options
Old Bridge, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/16/2014 -- Nationwide legal reports reveal an estimated 12 million child support orders currently exist across the country, representing only 33 percent of the number there should be. Of those in existence, approximately half remain outstanding, leaving 6 million children and their custodial parents in the lurch. In light of these figures, family law attorney Howard Bachman of Goldstein, Bachman and Newman has launched a campaign to educate those in the Middlesex County area regarding their rights and the laws pertaining to child support.
Said Bachman, "State laws dictate children should not suffer financially because their parents are divorced, and the amount of support they should receive is calculated based on a number of circumstances. Support is awarded to ensure children benefit from both parents' income, so they never lack the basic necessities. Though the law is clear, there are many misconceptions in respect to child support. The statistics are also a bit misleading, but only slightly so."
Delving deeper into this matter uncovers factors supporting Bachman's statements. Common belief dictates a court order ensures receipt of child support; on the contrary, the court order is only the first step in the process. Though the non-custodial parent is ultimately responsible for making these payments, many circumstances come into play. Should the obligated parent be lose his or her job, the court order may be temporarily delayed. The same holds true of incarceration.
Also contrasting widespread expectations, bench warrants for delinquent child support payments are not infallible. Regardless of how dire the need is for support or the amount in arrears, a warrant does not necessarily guarantee payment. Warrants are only effective in the state in which they are issued. If the obligated parent lives across state lines, or moves to another state after the court order is issued, he or she can not be followed by a warrant.
Regarding the statistics, Bachman noted many of the families currently receiving child support are entitled to more than they collect. In some cases, they are owed for past delinquent payments while others are awaiting back payment from before the order took effect. Filing errors also account for a portion of those falling into this category. Those filing for child support are met with a complex series of considerations, which are outlined on the firm's website, www.goldsteinbachman.com/choose-a-knowledgeable-child-custody-and-support-lawyer-in-middlesex-county. Overlooked details may have a negative impact on the amount awarded. The 67 percent with no order in effect have, for myriad reasons, not filed a request for relief.
Bachman concluded, "Children who aren't receiving child support, or who aren't receiving enough, often lack medical care, and some are deprived of even the most basic of necessities because the custodial parent's income simply isn't enough to cover these needs. This leads to a higher risk of health problems and increases the chances they will develop depression or behavioral problems. We can guide parents through the process of determining appropriate child support amounts. For those who are facing problems with collecting what they are owed, we can advise them on measures to reverse the situation."

Tea party eats its own in Oklahoma
TULSA, Okla. — Down here in the buckle of the Bible Belt, conservatives might eat one of their own.
Tea party celebrities Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee descended here on Thursday night to anoint their candidate to replace retiring Republican Sen. Tom Coburn: Republican former state House Speaker T.W. Shannon.
Story Continued Below
By embracing Shannon, they are leaving behind Rep. James Lankford, the fifth-highest-ranking member of the House GOP leadership, who is also bidding for the last two years of Coburn's term. Lankford could be forgiven for thinking he had a shot at such prominent endorsements, since he rode the tea party wave of 2010 to a seat in the House. But the conservative glitterati think Shannon is a true believer and that Lankford has disappointed them by voting to raise the debt ceiling and joining Speaker John Boehner's team.
( PHOTOS: Senators up for election in 2014)
It's a new strand of Republican civil war: not the typical insurgent-versus-establishment story in the Sooner State, but a battle on the right for the deepest conservative bona fides. And if Shannon pulls off an upset over Lankford, it would send a message to Republicans: Watch out, the tea party can still shake up a primary.
"These are our warriors in the United States Senate," Palin said at a "Liberty Rally" for Shannon, pointing to Cruz and Lee. "We've got to send them some reinforcements. And Oklahoma's contribution to that worthy effort is T.W. Shannon."
"You can tell a lot about a man by the friends he keeps. What do you think of my friends?" Shannon, flanked by his new allies, said to 15 seconds of applause from the hundreds in the audience.
The backing of his new pals certainly isn't hurting. A poll this week for a Shannon-aligned group showed him with a lead for the first time in the race.
"We clearly have the momentum," said a beaming 36-year-old Shannon during a pre-rally interview.
( Also on POLITICO: How Lindsey Graham outmaneuvered the tea party)
As he rocked back and forth in his chair, the state's first African-American speaker and a member of the powerful Chickasaw Nation basked in the moment: Two hours before the biggest speech of his career, he was up in the polls and Sens. Cruz (Texas) and Lee (Utah) — two men central to the first government shutdown in 17 years — had just arrived in the green room.
"People counted us out. People came to me when I was first running and said: Why are you even doing this?'" Shannon said of his 45-point turnaround in two months.
The election of the biracial Shannon would deliver the national GOP a major image boost and a rebuttal to the party's struggles with minorities and youth, marking the first time two black Republican senators served simultaneously.
"Instant celebrity," said former Republican Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating.
"The Democrats accuse us of not embracing diversity? Oh, my goodness. He is it. He is the whole package. Oklahoma, you've been so lucky to have him," Palin said at the rally, seconds after cracking to awkward laughs: "I still can't pronounce his name. Ta-herer-wuhn. So I'm glad you go by T.W." (His full name is Tahrohon Wayne Shannon.)
And though no mention was made at the rally of Lankford, there were several veiled attacks on the sophomore lawmaker's ties to Washington. Palin said she's "not afraid of going on a little RINO hunt," while Cruz was more direct, casting Shannon as an ally in the combative Senate Republican lunches that the Texas senator has joked require a food taster, lest an enemy poison him.
( QUIZ: Do you know Ted Cruz?)
"I am supporting T.W. Shannon because he has the courage of his convictions to look the party bosses in the eye and say: 'I don't work for you. I work for the people in Oklahoma,'" Cruz said at the rally, where Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was used as a bogeyman to deafening boos and repealing Obamacare was presented as a real possibility.
A few hours earlier and a few miles up the road in Bartlesville, where oil derricks dot sprawling cattle ranches, Lankford took questions from several dozen Republicans about Benghazi, Fast & Furious and government fraud in a far more subdued atmosphere.
Lankford recounted his continued battles with the Obama administration and his efforts to combat welfare fraud but warned against "celebrities" who go to Washington to pose for the cameras instead of delving into the issues — a shot at those backing Shannon.
Lankford wants to gut Obamacare but said the best way to make progress is "four yards and a cloud of dust," not always Hail Mary passes. He told one attendee that while he had issues with the IRS, abolishing it was not realistic. And his biggest applause lines came after he celebrated Attorney General Eric Holder's cancellation of an Oklahoma event on Thursday — and when he pitted his battles as ones against Democrats, not Republicans.
"I am not running against T.W. and Randy [Brogdon]," Lankford said. "I'm running against Harry Reid."
Brogdon, a former state senator also running for Coburn's seat, is polling at 7 percent, compared to 42 percent for Shannon and 32 percent for Lankford, evaporating a huge lead for Lankford in February after a TV ad barrage from Shannon and his allies, according to a Wednesday poll by the GOP firm Public Opinion Strategies.
Still, 16 percent of those surveyed remain undecided in the Senate race, and no one is counting out Lankford, who triumphed as an underdog in 2010 by winning his Oklahoma City House district as a political novice and Baptist youth leader. Lankford insisted that his own polling has him up.
Republicans here expect a nail-biter and a likely August runoff if neither of the two leading candidates can clear 50 percent in the June 24 primary. But Oklahomans also believe Lankford needs to respond quickly to pro-Shannon spending. Lankford said a raft of positive ads would drop in a matter of days.
"It's pretty remarkable to see the margin close this rapidly and the lead apparently change hands. The other side can't afford to leave that unanswered, and I expect the counter-stroke soon. … I want to see what the quality of the response is from the [Lankford] team," said Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.). Cole is publicly neutral, but Shannon once worked for him as a staffer.

Lesser Prairie-Chicken Aerial Survey Begins
LUBBOCK – This spring, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will collaborate with state fish and wildlife agencies from New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado, West Ecosystems, Inc., and Texas Tech University to conduct a large-scale aerial survey for lesser prairie-chicken booming grounds across the High Plains region in all five states.
Information from these surveys will be used by TPWD and the other state agencies to help conserve the bird in partnership with landowners and private industries, including oil and gas, wind energy, and electric utilities.
"These surveys represent a unique effort by state fish and wildlife agencies across the region to work together to monitor population trends over time and to effectively manage for this species," said Lubbock-based TPWD wildlife diversity biologist Sean Kyle. "This information, combined with other ongoing conservation efforts, could help avoid the need to list the lesser prairie-chicken as federally endangered. The surveys will provide more data to inform the US Fish and Wildlife Service's decision about whether to list the species."
Surveys will begin about March 24 and will continue through mid-May. Agency staff from the five states have randomly selected about 200 eighty-five square-mile blocks located in and around the estimated range of the species. These blocks cover an area ranging from the southern plains of the Texas Panhandle and southeast New Mexico up to northern Kansas and Colorado.
Surveys will be flown at 35-40 mph about 80 feet above ground. Pilots will fly two to sixteen north-south oriented transects across selected blocks. Towns, feedlots, and houses will be avoided. Pilots involved have extensive experience conducting aerial surveys and gathering livestock with helicopters. They will make special effort to avoid hazing livestock on pastures.

Clapham One is full of surprise and mystery, says Felix Mara. Photography by Gareth Gardner
Hailing from North London, trashing what lies on the opposite side of the Thames is second nature to me. Scarce amenities, monocultural dormitories, a scattered, low-profile intelligentsia served by few book shops and pubarama lifestyles are hardly world class city material. In charitable moments I blame the Nazis.
But I do have to concede that, by night, parts of Lambeth and Southwark sizzle, West End style. In SW4 for example, converging roads bordering Clapham Common funnel hordes into a high street lined by international restaurants and bars in the bungalow extensions built on the front gardens of its terraces, semis and villas.
Although Clapham High Street's entertainment venues have dwindled, a new type of amenity opened in June: a library which doubles up as a performance space, designed by Studio Egret West with DLA Architecture as part of their Clapham One mixed residential and medical centre development.
On paper alone, this is catalytic. Working in a Public Private Partnership, Lambeth Council provided the site, home to twin negative assets: an under-performing swimming pool and a 1968 office block, mentioned by Pevsner but nevertheless demolished. Developer Cathedral Group and contractor United provided the library, open seven days a week, and a health centre gratis in exchange for the site and were granted permission to build 136 private and, assisted by a Homes and Communities Agency Kickstart loan, 44 affordable flats.
The consultants' responsibilities also suggest a creative mix. Concept and library fit-out architect Studio Egret West was also the landscape architect and designed signage, wayfinding and fitted library furniture. Not surprisingly, practice founders Christophe Egret and David West have historic links to that great architectural university, Will Alsop, and Clapham One exemplifies their disrespect for barriers between architecture, urban design and planning. It's a fluid approach which would be at home in that remarkable urban success story, post-Franco Barcelona. The Parc Güell-style broken ceramic surfaces of the giant 3D letters that spell the word LIBRARY on the pavement in front of the development are a fitting emblem.
Clapham High Street has some respectable residential facades. Some are stock brick, some stucco. But its most flamboyant architectural event is the c1910 Temperance and Billiard Hall, a Free Style concrete framed half-barrel, home to Moxley Architects. So Egret West had one unusual neighbour and plenty of backdrop architecture to play with. Although it is bizarre and ortholinaphobic, it might seem simplistic to label Clapham One's external form Gaudí-esque, because there's so much else in the mix. Neo-Baroque, if you like, Mannerist in its juxtaposed scales and awkwardly Mendelsohnian in the way ogee-profile plan forms meet sheer faces.
There's something eerie about the way its clustered towers bob on the skyline like distorted Edvard Munch figures, cheerful, mocking and, in their numerology, symbolic. Yet there is method in the way its massing steps down to the row housing in St Luke's Avenue, forming landscaped communal terraces, because noise from the main road ruled out individual flat balconies. Although the apartments have double-loaded access, many are dual aspect and slots between the towers admit daylight and ventilation.
Like BFLS's Strata (AJ 29.07.10), three miles up the A3, Clapham One is a conspicuous foreigner, though more Continental than Chinese in the quality and perceived longevity of its external detail, which is brash without being tacky. Its polished stainless steel fenestration details are glitzy, even naff, especially with Juliette balconies whose pods punch out while the windows punch into stark, hard white slips like skulls' eye sockets, as haunting as a Buñuel film. The low-level insulated render looks vulnerable. Perhaps the architect chose to peel away the slips bonded to the facade at high level before passers-by did so.
On the high street corner at ground level the flats rest on a column decked out as a tapering, silicone render-clad feature, known to the architect as 'the stiletto', sturdy enough for the most bovine of calves. Then, after crossing a wide pavement, at the junction with a mixed development to the east, you enter a shared lobby with generous circular roof lights that serves the health centre and, via an incredibly wide top-hung sliding orange screen, the library. Though toned down by expanses of white emulsion, what you see next is crazier than the exterior.
The reception is contiguous with a proposed café area looking onto the street through a faceted curtain wall and opens onto a triple-height space resembling a mausoleum, but without the customary regularity. At its perimeter, a double-laned ramp divided by low-level shelving spirals up to a reading area above and down to the children's library below, which is also used for performances viewed from this lower level or from the ramp and ancillary spaces above. It's more of a figure-of-eight diagram than a loop and, because you enter in the middle, travel distances are optimal.
A layer of book shelving lines the ramp's outer walls, through which openings lead to radial activity and study rooms, some interconnected by openings in their cross-walls. The inner wall between the ramp and the triple-height space is a thick drum, penetrated by openings of various shapes, sizes and angles, which deviate from the vertical along their horizontal radial axes as if dancing, or slowly rotating as they fall from above.
A wide gap in the drum reveals three circular concrete columns supporting the ceiling and the ramp, with CHSs behind these. Again a group of three, suggesting a symbolic dimension, also seen in the cruciform rolling furniture assembly in the children's library and a chunky acoustic buffer overhead. Most enigmatic of all, the library's steel plate staircase could be seen as a spiral with an incredibly thick newel, or one which is helical with its central opening enclosed by a capped cylinder. But what's inside: 40m3 of dead or sacrificial space? I can't help remembering Jim Stirling's ritual of burying a navy blue shirt in the foundations of his creations. Stirling also comes to mind because of some apparent operational flaws.
Was the handrail enclosing the area below this staircase part of the original design or was it added to stop occupants banging their heads on the steel plates above? And shouldn't acoustics have been more of a priority? The openings in the drum improve reverberation times but, despite the absorbent surfaces, the children in the inferno below generate a lot of noise. You might ask how many people actually study in this library. Well, quite a few actually, although most of them seem to do so in the perimeter study areas.
Of course the background noise adds to the sense of fun and so does the wealth of architectural events. Standing in the children's library, you feel as though you're in a 3D Léger painting, with overlapping blocks of controlled impasto colour: whites on greys, with highlights of orange and sage green rendered glossy by their surface treatment or layers of glass.
Much of the detail, however original, seems deliberately, provocatively, clumsy and obtuse: architraves with unusual profiles around the drum openings, chunky rings at the heads of columns, overdesigned brackets, glass handrails, half-timbered partitioning and rectangle-section skirtings juxtaposed with wide shadow gap details where walls meet floors.
It's sometimes more of a knuckleduster than elegant design. And to zoom out to the general volumetric massing, well, anything that smacks of screechy expressionism just ain't for me. But for all its blemishes, it's hard not to be charmed by this gregarious, uninhibited and exotic foreigner and it's a very welcome guest at the party. A little piece of Barcelona in SW4.

We all know Apple has become a big company.
But, a new proxy statement it filed with the SEC puts in context just how big it has become.
In the filing, Apple says it had to adjust the companies it uses as comparisons for its compensation because it's so much bigger than its peer group now.
To determine compensation, Apple's board typically takes a basket of comparable companies, looks at their executive compensation, and then works from there.
But now that Apple is the most valuable company in the world, with $157 billion in annual sales, it's a lot harder.
Here's Apple in its SEC filing:
"Prior to 2012, a company would only be included in the peer group if its revenue and market capitalization were at least one-fifth of the Company's size. Given the Company's growth, the threshold size requirement for revenue and market capitalization were lowered for 2012 to $15 billion and $25 billion, respectively, to help ensure a sufficiently robust sample of peer companies."
See that? Apple is saying it's beyond comparison with mere mortal companies.
Apple also added a second group of companies to measure its compensation.
"In 2012, the Compensation Committee also established a secondary peer group of general industry 'mega-cap' companies to provide a broader perspective on pay levels and practices for companies of comparable size. The thresholds for inclusion in the secondary peer group were $75 billion in revenue and a 12-month average market capitalization of $150 billion."
The companies in this group are Wal-Mart, Berkshire Hathaway, GE, Exxon, and a few others. (And for what it's worth, the first group of companies Apple outgrew are tech companies like Microsoft, Dell, Amazon, etc.)
And what did Apple determine after looking at all of this? It decided to give Tim Cook a minor pay bump to $1.4 million as a base salary, up from $900,000 the year before. He also got a nice cash bonus, making his total compensation for 2012 $4.17 million.

Paul will reportedly not opt out for 2012-2013, so Los Angeles is guaranteed at least two years of CP3 dishing to Blake Griffin.

I am a BIG fan of gingerbread cookies but I have never actually made them. My Christmas cut-outs are the fluffy, soft kind which I highly prefer to the crispier versions so that was my mission when looking for a good gingerbread recipe. The title of this cookie seemed to fit the bill so this is the recipe I tried:
|Modifications? No-it's the holidays and this is not the time for my weird, calorie-cutting experiments. The only thing I left out was rolling the prepared dough in sugar. This wasn't because I didn't want them to be too sweet. I did because I wanted to frost my baked cookies in cream cheese frosting. Oh yeah.
These cookies are awesome. Frosting or not, these are hands-down THE BEST gingerbread cookies EVER! I will be quite surprised if anyone else gets them in my holiday cookie tins.

Since 1939, AOPA has protected the freedom to fly by promoting an environment that gives people of all ages the opportunity to enjoy aviation and all it has to offer. As the world's largest community of pilots and aviation enthusiasts, AOPA can connect reporters with in-house experts on a variety of aviation topics.
General aviation stimulates the economy by creating jobs and contributing to the GDP. In 2013, 1.1 million jobs in the United States were supported by GA. The economic output supported by general aviation was $219 billion, with the GA industry contributing $109 billion to the U.S. GDP.
The AOPA Air Safety Institute's latest general aviation safety report shows that the number of non-commercial aircraft accidents dropped to a new low in 2014. The resulting accident rate—less than one aircraft accident per 100,000 hours of flying—is unprecedented.

Subscribe To Zac Efron Replaces Shia LaBeouf In The Necessary Death Of Charlie Countryman Updates
I've already subscribed
It's strange, but it would appear that Zac Efron may actually be one of the few child actors to make a smooth transition into a legitimate acting career. While so many former Disney stars have their 15-minutes of fame before burning out, Efron has successfully lowered his teen heartthrob profile in recent years and taken on more serious projects like Die In A Gunfight and the remake of the Swedish film Snabba Cash. Now he's added another project to his upcoming slate in the same vein.
The Playlist reports that Efron is now attached to The Necessary Death Of Charlie Countryman, replacing Shia LaBeouf - another former Disney star - who was signed on to the project last year. Efron will play a young man who travels to Europe after the death of his mother. While abroad, he meets a girl and falls in love, but she happens to be involved with a crime boss. Feeling the need to protect her, he decides to fight, both to win her heart and protect her. The project was written by Matt Drake, who also penned the upcoming secret Todd Phillips film Project X, but doesn't currently have a director attached.
Someone out there can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but does this sound a little bit like Scott Pilgrim vs. The World with one major boss battle instead of seven? It's entirely possible that they will go a different approach with it - for example, an R rating and no references to video games - but it does seem eerily similar. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how it works out.

Destination Luxury: Introducing five Star New Zealand
No longer purely a backpackers paradise, New Zealand is quickly becoming the ultimate luxury destination.
Long seen as a destination for backpacking thrill-seekers New Zealand's reputation is synonymous with adventure. But camping is out and glamping is in, and as demand for the ultimate luxury holiday increases - this slice of paradise has stepped up to the plate. With its friendly people, spectacular surrounds and traditional Maori heritage, New Zealand gives indulgence a new kind of meaning. Because what's luxury for one, isn't for another and the best kind of experience is marked by the ability to personalise.
And a truly personal experience is what New Zealand does best. Being diverse in scenery yet close in proximity means whatever you fancy can be arranged. Want to swim with the dolphins then ski down a glacier all in one trip? Enjoy michelin star dining in the heart of the city followed by a night in the wilderness with only the stars? or superlodge-hop for a luxe holiday of a lifetime? the scope is wide and the range is long, the hardest part actually deciding what to do. But chances are - if a New Zealand luxury holiday is top of your list it's not the shopping you're flying all night for.
The ultimate indulgence
While 'luxury' may indeed be personal, the term still conjures some universal sameness. One such example is a level of accommodation, and in this area you're not disappointed. The country's scattering of boutique hotels and premium lodges are like no other - and offer far more than just a bed for the night. All of the properties are situated in unique and beautiful locations, most with jaw-droppingly spectacular in-room views. Some are only accessible by helicopter and all offer a gourmet five course dining experience - often by celebrated chefs. With infinity pools, spa's, a private golf course and concierge anything you need is anticipated and anything you want is provided. Notable properties are The Farm at Cape Kidnappers - a cliff-top manor in the heart of Hawke's Bay wine country, Huka Lodge - a riverside retreat in Taupo (frequented by Her Majesty The Queen) and Matakauri Lodge - an alpine escape on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown. And for those who crave the great outdoors you can't go past Minaret Station Tented Lodge - a helicopter only, remote glamping escape complete with a private chef and hot tub.
A gourmet experience
If gastronomy is a priority, then look no further. New Zealand food and wine is unique, innovative and sits among the best in the world. From Michelin star restaurants to private fine-dining, to meandering the nation's wine trails - gourmet cuisine is abundant. Local organic produce features heavily along with with just-caught seafood or grass fed beef and lamb. Each region has its own distinct flavour, be it strawberries, oysters, kiwi fruit or wine. As mentioned above, all the luxury lodges offer five-star gastro delights, but there's plenty of match-worthy opponents spread across the country. No visit down under would be complete without at least one trip (or three) to a winery or boutique brewery and both the North and South are home to globally recognised wine and craft beer. For a first-class experience try Kumeu River Vineyard in Auckland, Cloudy Bay in Marlborough or Amisfield Winery in Queenstown. For craft beer, head to Garage Project in Wellington.
An eye for adventure
Luxury adventure doesn't have to mean laid-back adventure. Take a scenic flight over the breath-taking Milford Sound or cruise neighbouring beauty, Doubtful Sound. Swim with the dolphins in the North, heli-ski a glacier in the South. Walk the crater of an active volcano or catch a helicopter to the top of a mountain for a romantic sunset picnic. If you're a fan of Lord Of The Rings visit the Hobbiton set - or for the really fanatic hire it exclusively for the evening. If walking's your thing, spend a week hiking one of the spectacular national parks. Have your bags carried for you and stay in high-end lodges along the way. Everything's on offer down here and the opportunities to explore are only as limited as your imagination.
Culturally dynamic
With less than 200 years on the clock New Zealand doesn't have much in the way of crumbling architecture. But what it lacks in historical landmark, it makes up for with its rich Maori culture and a vibrant art and fashion scene. Take a private guided trip to ancient tribal meeting grounds and join in on a traditional hangi feast. Visit the Bay of Islands and learn about the Treaty of Waitangi, New Zealand's founding document. Arrange for an exclusive Maori experience and hear about the legend of the Pounamu, or thrill your companions with an authentic Maori war dance. View renowned New Zealand artists as you experience a private showing of a prominent Auckland Art gallery or wander the sculptures at the South Island's largest outdoor sculpture exhibition in Banks Peninsula. And If you really did fly all night for the shopping, a personal stylist and fashion consultant can escort you through the most exclusive designer stores, for an unforgettable retail experience.
Whatever 'luxury' means to you, New Zealand can provide. Be it an adventurous vacation with a sprinkling of indulgence or a full-blown luxury holiday, this country of soaring scenic contradictions means a drool-worthy itinerary to rival any global counterpart. And lucky for you, we have the local expertise and knowledge to create something unique, individualised and truly remarkable. So pull out your wishlist and give us a call - we'll be waiting!

In a cutting edge format � combining trivia challenges like those on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" with the strategy played in the "World Series of Poker" -- contestants find themselves in intense head-to-head matches, reacting quickly under pressure and outsmarting their opponents by using strategy and deception, as well as intellect and skill. Each episode will feature a new group of contestants vying to duel either the previous week's winner or a brand new opponent. The goal of each contestant is to win a series of duels and take home the $500,000 jackpot. But along the way, contestants will be tempted to leave the game and walk away with their accumulated winnings.
An online game of "Duel," developed by BermanBraun, is available on ABC.com at http://duelthegame.abc.com/. Online gamers can choose to play either against the computer, or to challenge other players' duels from around the country.

Very Late Night Consoling
Hang 'Em High comes to Halo 2; praise be[xbox] [xbox360]
Last November, Microsoft announced that Bungie was developing two new Halo 2 multiplayer maps that would be available in spring 2007 only for those playing the Xbox game via the Xbox 360's backwards compatibility feature. Today, Microsoft identified the maps and revised its prior claim, stating that the maps would be available on April 17 as paid content for Halo 2 players on either Xbox console.
First up is the sublime Hang 'Em High, which Microsoft claims is "the most requested Halo multiplayer map ever," and rightly so. Known as Tombstone in its Halo 2 incarnation, the map has received various tweaks to its design as well as a fresh coat of paint that replaces the original cool blue look with a grittier stone and aged metal texture set. A single screenshot is available here. Pro tip: There is no finer map for Team Crazy King.
Also en route is the tiny indoor arena Derelict, which is receiving a Halo 2 remake as Desolation. Originally an indoor map, the new Desolation appears to be set in a forest outpost, and has received a similar palette change to that of Hang 'Em High/Tombstone. Check out this screenshot. Pro tip: This is where you play Oddball.
Tombstone and Desolation will be available via Xbox Live on Xbox or Xbox 360 for $4 starting April 17.
Ninja Gaiden sneaks to Nintendo DS[ds]
It has long been known that current Ninja Gaiden franchise developer Team NINJA has a Nintendo DS game in the works, but the title has remained under wraps. This week, Tecmo officially announced Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword, an action game in the long running ninja series. Unusually for the genre, Dragon Sword is played with the DS held sidways in a book-like configuration, and features full stylus control. Several Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword screenshots are available.
"We're very excited to be bringing Ninja Gaiden back to a Nintendo platform," said marketing manager Yoh Watanabe. "The Nintendo DS will allow gamers to control Master Ninja Ryu Hayabusa slash for slash with the use of the DS Stylus in a way never possible in previous iterations of the game. Dragon Sword will be the definitive ninja title for all DS owners to experience."
Tecmo plans to ship Team NINJA's Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword for Nintendo DS in North America this October.
Metal Gear Solid 4 primary voice cast announced[ps3]
Konami this week confirmed that longtime Solid Snake voice actor David Hayter will reprise his role as the now-aged mulleted action hero in Kojima Productions' highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for PlayStation 3. Other series veterans making a return for MGS4 include Paul Eiding (Roy Campbell), Christopher Randolph (Hal "Otacon" Emmerich), and Quinton Flynn (Raiden). The cast will be directed by returing voice director Kris Zimmerman to deliver a script written by Metal Gear creator and overlord Hideo Kojima and MGS4 director Shuyo Murata.
"I couldn't be more excited about this game. What I've seen of Metal Gear Solid 4 has absolutely blown me away. To bring the focus of the story back to Solid Snake, and to work with Kris Zimmerman and many of the amazing actors that provided iconic voices for the previous games, is like coming home," said Hayter, also known as the screenwriter of X-Men and X2. "I'm so proud and grateful to have been involved with Mr. Kojima as the voice of Snake, for nearly a decade, on this legendary video game series. This game is going to plunge players into the ultimate Metal Gear experience. And personally, I can't wait to play it."
Kojima Productions' Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is expected to ship for PlayStation 3 later this year.
2K Sports pitches MLB2K7 demo to PSS[ps3]
Sony this week sent word that the PS3's online PlayStation Store has been stocked with a playable demo of Kush Games' PlayStation 3 version of Major League Baseball 2K7. It is freely downloadable now.

As the holidays are approaching, some people are looking for that perfect recipe to cook up something delicious to wow all of their friends and family. Merry White, author of Cooking for Crowds, has released the 40th anniversary edition of her book, which includes a new introduction and new illustrations, and will offer her readers the recipes they've been searching for.
She will be at the Harvard Book Store on December 5th at 7:00 PM to discuss the book and to sign copies, which will be for sale in the store. Want more information? Click here.
When Cooking for Crowds was first published in 1974, home cooks in America were just waking up to the great foods the rest of the world was eating, from pesto and curries to Ukrainian pork and baklava. Now Merry White's indispensable classic is back in print for a new generation of readers to savor, and her international recipes are as crowd-pleasing as ever–whether you are hosting a large party numbering in the dozens, or a more intimate gathering of family and friends.
In this delightful cookbook, White shares all the ingenious tricks she learned as a young Harvard graduate student earning her way through school as a caterer to European scholars, heads of state, and cosmopolitans like Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. With the help of her friend Julia Child, the cook just down the block in Cambridge, White surmounted unforeseen obstacles and epic-sized crises in the kitchen, along the way developing the surefire strategies described here. All of these recipes can be prepared in your kitchen using ordinary pots, pans, and utensils. For each tantalizing recipe, White gives portions for serving groups of six, twelve, twenty, and fifty.

All right, my other friend got back to me. He hasn't done it word-for-word, but the general idea is that "The anime isn't over yet" but "it ended with Tessa's panties in the OVA," Gatoh says "Don't get your hopes up" and looks disappointed (maybe they turned down the idea there) and then the other guy says "But if the fans speak out enough!" so... Maybe we just need to speak out? Perhaps... send some letters off to KyoAni or some-such... Hmmm.... *ponders*

Well, I had been considering drafting a general letter, rather than a petition, but a petition definitely works. I'll post this over at Jindai-High and see if anyone there will be willing to do translations for other languages. ^^
Edit: AND my FMP journal >.>

Hi, I've been following this forum for a long time and it helped me know FMP history beyond the anime series. I joined so that I could post the anime petition in Italian:
La seguente è una raccolta di firme in giro per il mondo per incoraggiare la produzione della serie anime Full Metal Panic! scritta da Shoji Gatou e pubblicata da Fujimi Shobo.
Per la lista delle richieste riguardo l'animazione delle storie (vedi lista 1 della pagina inglese).
Se tu, fan o patito di anime, non importa di che razza, storia, nazionalità, età o anche status sociale, desideri che la fantastica storia di Full Metal Panic! venga trasposta in anime, FIRMA QUESTA PETIZIONE ORA!
A tutti gli interessati, nonostante la carenza di notorietà della storia e dell'anime, questa è uno degli anime più attesi in tutto il mondo.
"Panic" è meglio conosciuto per l'azione realistica mozzafiato in un ambiente militare di fantasia, la tanto attesa relazione sentimentale che si è instaurata tra i personaggi che l'audience adora, la bizzarra ed inusuale comicità, cast unico di personaggi con affascinanti storylines colme di mistero che coinvolge tutti fino alla fine.
Noi, i fan, gli appassionati di anime, firmiamo per provare che ci sono molti fan in tutto il mondo che VOGLIONO che questa storia venga trasposta in anime con accuratezza, impegno e bellezza che ci fu proposta nelle prime tre stagioni.
Speriamo di vederne di più!!

EDIT: I am concern about making the petition, I dont want this to backfire and get anyone in trouble. See link below.
We should also petition to bring legal translated copies of the books to our respective nations if want the anime too. I feel like the ones who can make this petition are really the chinese and japanese :s...

I don't think that we should worry about the fansub or something like that...the first and, after all, most important thing is to have a new series in Japan; then the owners of the copyright for each country will make the new series in english, italian, spanish, etc..

We're not asking for fansubs, we're just asking for anime in general. FUNi has been doing much simulcasting lately, and they'd probably pick up more FMP licensing. There wouldn't be much of a need for fansubs, with that being the case.
In other news...
Another cute sketch by Shikidouji has been posted to her blog. ^^ Knight Rider, mwahah~ Love it~

Colombian striker Fredy Montero came off the bench to score twice for the Portuguese side in the final 20 minutes of the game.
Alan Pardew???s side, who handed a debut to goalkeeper Alex McCarthy, began brightly with Jordon Mutch forcing Rui Patricio into action in the opposition goal in the opening two minutes.
However, Sporting provided a threat of their own and it took a good block from Damien Delaney and a decent save from McCarthy to deny Adrien Silva and Jefferson, respectively, in the first half.
After the break, Palace again started on the front foot and Jason Puncheon found space but could only shoot straight at Patricio.
Montero entered the fray just after the hour mark and nine minutes later he gave Sporting the lead. McCarthy got a hand to his curling free-kick to knock the ball onto the post, but the rebound struck the goalkeeper's body and crossed the line.
Scott Dann came close to an equaliser for the Eagles with a powerful header but he was denied by a fantastic save from Patricio.
Sporting sealed the win with four minutes remaining as Montero fired home after Joel Ward???s mistake gifted Islam Slimani an original opportunity.
The match signals the end of Palace's South Africa tour, and they now return home to prepare for a friendly against Bromley on Thursday night.

Since ASP.NET MVC 3 was released last week, I've had several folks ask me how they can deploy their MVC 3 apps to a web hosting service. They asked because when they attempted to upload their app's files, they saw this error (or one similar to it):
What's the Problem?
When you install MVC 3 on your local machine, a number of assemblies are registered in the GAC. MVC 3 needs these assemblies. Unless your web hosting service has installed MVC 3 on their servers (and many haven't, yet), those assemblies won't be there, and you'll see an error similar to the one above.
What's the Solution?
As with previous versions of MVC, we suggest you solve this with what we call "\bin deployment." Bin Deployment is just a fancy term that means "include the MVC assembly (and its dependencies) in your web application's /bin folder." It's not hard to prepare your project for Bin Deployment, but there are a few more assemblies involved compared to MVC 2. I'll show you what you need to do, step by step.
Step 1: Add Explicit References for MVC and Its Dependencies
Your MVC app's project probably won't have references to all of the assemblies it needs, because they're in the GAC. So you need to add them. Here is the list (they'll all be available in the .NET tab of the Add Reference dialog):
- Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure
- System.Web.Helpers
- System.Web.Mvc
- System.Web.Razor
- System.Web.WebPages
- System.Web.WebPages.Deployment
- System.Web.WebPages.Razor
Step 2: Change Each Reference's Copy Local Property to True
After adding the references, you need to set the Copy Local property for each of the references you just added to True, as pictured below.
Step 3: Re-Build and Deploy as You Normally Would
Now, when you build your app, the MVC assembly and its dependencies will be copied to the /bin directory, allowing you to deploy as you normally would.
I hope this helps.
If you have any questions or concerns about this 'blog post, or in general, please send an email to drewmi at microsoft dot com. I'm also on Twitter at http://twitter.com/anglicangeek.

Iran Live Coverage: A New --- and Genuine --- Offer in the Nuclear Talks?
See also Iran Analysis: Taking Apart the "Iranian Terror Cell in Nigeria" Story br>
Wednesday's Iran Live Coverage: Detaining the Journalists
2055 GMT: Nuclear Watch. Amid the inevitable political spin around the IAEA report on Iran's nuclear programme, Al Monitor hands over its summary to David Albright of the Institute for Science and International Security.
Unsurprisingly, Albright, with a long-time pattern of hostility towards Tehran, is selective in trying to present an IAEA condemnation of the Islamic Republic. He introduces the new charge that the Tehran Research Reactor, known for its production of medical isotopes, is testing fuel for a heavy water reactor at Arak. Then he puts out the line that new centrifuges at the Natanz enrichment plant --- even though Tehran says they are for 5% uranium only --- are an ominous power play by Iran: "The depressing news is they think they're strengthening their position by racing ahead with the installation of all these machines."
Al Monitor helps out Albright with the unsupported assessment, "Another possibility is that Iran — despite its frequent protestations to the contrary — is seeking to make nuclear weapons or at least become a "virtual" nuclear weapons state with the capacity to build bombs quickly." Somewhat confusingly, it has the later contradiction --- which is based on information from the IAEA report:
The good news in the report is that Iran in December resumed sending some of its 20%-enriched uranium for conversion into fuel for the TRR. While Iran has added to its stockpile of 20% uranium since the IAEA's last report in November, it is still below what is believed to be an Israeli red line for possible military action.

Boo frickin' hoo ya buncha crybabies.
I'm guessing no one watched the draft last night aside from me?
Then Cam Ward as the first pick overall, yeah, whatever
Well I'm wondering if it was even broadcast in the U.S., so don't feel too bad.
The draft was kind of lame anyway as that's not how I'd structure my team. I also thought it kind of ghey they had to have the goalies gone by the 10th round and the D guys by the 15th round - it assured a forward would be the last pick. Then Cam Ward as the first pick overall, yeah, whatever
