Old joke: Heaven is the place where the police are British, the cooks are French, the lovers Italian, bureaucrats Swiss, and the engineers German. Hell is the place where the cooks are British, the engineers Italian, bureaucrats French, lovers Swiss, and the police German.
What We Think
Though a bit pricey, this beautifully finished, well-balanced system delights the eye and will not disappoint the ear. |
What the old saw omits is that in heaven, the metalworkers surely are German, too. I've seen whole regiments of slim, stylish aluminum-enclosure speakers fashioned for on-wall mounting or to otherwise complement modern flat-panel (or slim-profile) TVs. But this Canton array's brushed-aluminum surfaces, and its mechanical fit-and-finish, take the ribbon. If my Mercedes-Benz SLK's interior were this nice, I'd be happy. If I had an SLK, that is. (A six-year-old Jetta is more my speed.)
SETUP Beyond its jewellike finish, the Canton CD 200 Series home theater speaker system is similar to a lot of others in this genre: slim, quasi-cylindrical cabinets, perforated-aluminum grilles, and highly adaptable shelf-stand/wall-mount brackets (Canton's are simple, effective, and quite nicely made). However, the speaker uses push-terminal input connectors instead of the multi-way binding posts you'd expect on a system of this caliber; you can get banana plugs into them, but just barely.
I wired the 5.1-channel Canton suite to my pre-pro/power-amp electronics, which pump 150 watts all around. Canton rates the left-right-center CD 250's frequency response as "40-30,000 Hz," which is lower on the bass end than compact speakers usually deliver and higher in the treble than the limit of human hearing. I can't speak to the 30 kHz part (Fido? Wanna jump in here?), but the 40 Hz end is surely optimistic. Yes, there's some output at 40 Hz, but not much. I first set my preamp's crossovers to 120 Hz for all five channels and ultimately found that 150 Hz delivered smoother, more consistent bass.
My setup's front speakers went, via Canton's supplied tabletop mounts, on existing stands alongside my 50-inch Samsung DLP, with the center on a stand just below the screen. The CD 220 surrounds went on high shelves to either side of the listener, and the 10-inch AS 100 SC subwoofer a bit left of the left-front speaker.

Business Loan Program Splits S.C. Delegation
Palmetto State representatives at odds after Boeing pleaded for support.
Both the U.S. House and Senate have approved a three-year extension of the Export-Import Bank, a federal program that assists U.S. companies in selling their goods overseas.
But the issue split members of the S.C. Delegation as the state's biggest industrial catch — Boeing — flexed its muscle in the run-up to the vote.
The Export-Import Bank provides financing for cash-strapped foreign investors willing to buy American goods, but sometimes unable to secure the cash or credit. The bank has been a strong asset in distributing Boeing planes overseas — a primary reason the company felt confident in expanding its U.S. manufacturing to South Carolina.
But a necessary re-authorization of the program hit opposition, particularly from hard-line conservatives in the U.S. Senate — chief among them being Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.).
In a recent opinion piece, DeMint claimed he isn't anti-Boeing, he's pro-freedom. "Freedom isn't perfect, but it is fair," he wrote. "And any time government hands out favors, they'll be unfair to someone."
A few weeks ago, Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Jim Albaugh congratulated more than 6,000 North Charleston employees as the first locally-made Dreamliner airplane rolled out of the hangar.
But his message came with a warning of sorts for those workers — and the legislators who represent them in Washington.
"Eighty-five percent of the airplanes that are going to be coming out of this factory are going to be sold overseas. And many of them are financed by the Ex-Im bank in Washington, D.C.," Albaugh said. "In fact, the first six airplanes we're going to deliver to Air India are all financed by the Ex-Im bank."
He thanked those representatives who were already supportive of the bank extension, but he also had a message for the Congressional members on the fence or opposing the bank extension.
"Ex-Im bank gives us a level playing field to compete on around the world," Alabaugh said, before looking around the crowd of thousands. "And I'll tell you what it also does: It creates jobs right here in South Carolina."
In the end, four House members from S.C. supported the extension: Democrat Jim Clyburn and Republicans Joe Wilson, Tim Scott and Trey Gowdy.
Both Scott and Gowdy qualified their support afterwards, both saying that they want to see the Ex-Im bank closed, but not right now.
"We want the Ex-Im Bank to go away but want to do it the proper way," Gowdy told Gannett. "To ask Boeing, GE and Michelin to compete against countries that are cheating is unfair to South Carolina."
When the measure reached the Senate on Tuesday, 77 Senators joined Sen. Lindsey Graham in supporting the bank extension. DeMint was among the 20 members to vote against.
"It's one thing to do reform. It's another thing to unilaterally surrender," Graham said on the Senate floor.

The Ex-Im Bank is just another line item on the balance sheet of the corporate welfare program. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fd-4Xl9w2c
South Carolinians have given Boeing $1.5 billion to build a $178 million factory. Hi-tech skilled workers and management for the production of the Boeing Dreamliner have been inported, while long time South Calinians who work for Boeing are paid minimum wage or a little more. The jobs that Boeing provides actually places a tax burden on South Carolinian tax payers as Boeing withholds and keep state income tax from the employees' paychecks. This corporate welfare deprives our state coffers of much needed revenue to rebuild our infrastructure, improve our public schools and pay for vital services. As State Senator I will demand accounting of this corporate welfare. Who benefited and how? Stop the greed; stop the corruption. It is in the hands of the voters. Vote November 6, 2012!

President Barack Obama put politics aside on Saturday, using his weekly address to recognize the sportsmanship, success and sacrifice of the U.S. Olympic team.
Obama stayed stateside -- holding official events and hitting the campaign trail -- while his wife, Michelle, led the official U.S. delegation to the opening ceremony of the London games.
"I've got to admit I was a little jealous she got to go," he said. "But like many of you, I caught as many events as I could, jumping off the couch for a close race or a perfect vault."
The United States, with a total of 43 medals, led other countries in the medal count as of Friday evening.
In his address, Obama highlighted some of the most prominent American victories.
"I watched the wonderful young women of our gymnastics team recapture the team gold for America, and I was filled with pride watching Gabby Douglas win the all-around gold with incredible poise and grace," Obama said. "I watched our swimmers win a haul of medals, and Michael Phelps become the most decorated Olympic athlete of all time. I saw our women's soccer team power through the competition."
He also noted "athletes in sports that don't always get as much attention," congratulating the women's rowing team on their gold and several individual medals.
"Kayla Harrison won America's first-ever gold medal in judo, and Marti Malloy won a bronze," he continued. "Kim Rhode became the first American to win individual medals in five straight Olympics with her gold in skeet shooting and her teammate, Army Sgt. Vincent Hancock, won his second skeet gold."
Obama also recognized the "character" and sportsmanship of the U.S. athletes at the games, including those competing in both the Olympics and Paralympics.
"It's not the medal count alone that inspires us," he said. "Most of our athletes won't claim a medal at all. It's the character of the men and women who compete for those medals. It's their hard work and sacrifice -- the countless hours in the gym, in the pool, on the track. It's their dogged perseverance and unyielding determination, through disappointment and triumph alike."

Versatility is paramount when mountain biking in cold weather. Have a 1000-foot climb staring at you? It's better to shed a layer before you're overheated half way up. The Gore Bike Wear ALP-X 2.0 Thermo Long Sleeve Jersey uses a unique material that's optimized to push or pull perspiration depending on whether it's worn alone or as a layer with a shell.
A mix of nylon and Elastane give the ALP-X Long-Sleeve Jersey excellent breathability, that's also able to retain heat while pulling moisture to the garments outer layer. From there it's evaporated, or pushed to an outer layer like a windproof shell. That's the beauty of the ALP-X, run it solo when leaves are dropping, and then add another once the frost arrives.
The ALP-X Long-Sleeve jersey features an anatomic, cycling-specific cut with articulated arms and a slightly dropped hem for full coverage in any riding position. It also features anti-slip shoulders to help prevent packs from sliding and bouncing around. If you're into riding sans-pack, you'll appreciate the roomy pockets along the jerseys backside.
Speaking of storage, there's also a zipped Napoleon pocket for valuables. A full-length front zip allows optimization of temperature and keeps sliding into the ALP-X easy. The Gore Bike Wear ALP-X Long-Sleeve jersey comes in Red/Black, Navy Blue/Black, Black, and Castle Grey/Black, with sizes ranging from Small through XX-Large.

Only 3.8 per cent of drugs approved between 2000 and 2011 were for neglected diseases such as leishmaniasis
Flickr/ CDC
Developed countries and emerging economies must join forces to support research into new drugs for neglected diseases, according to research by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi).
Their study, presented at a conference last month (13 December), found that only 3.8 per cent of drugs approved between 2000 and 2011 were for neglected diseases, such as sleeping sickness, leishmaniasis and Chagas disease, which in total account for more than ten per cent of the global disease burden.
This "fatal imbalance" must be addressed by governments developing a framework to finance research and development (R&D) and stimulate medical innovation, the organisations say.
"In the last decade, there has been some progress in drug development for neglected diseases, but not enough has been done," says Bernard Pécoul, executive director of DNDi. "Only 1.4 per cent of total clinical studies are dedicated to neglected diseases, but they make up 11 per cent of the global disease burden."
Neglected diseases are most prevalent in Africa, Brazil and India, and often have the greatest impact on the poorest people, he says.
"What is needed is more commitment from the affected countries to respond to the needs of their populations," Pécoul says. He lists Brazil, China and India as countries that have sufficient resources and says they should be setting up a sustainable way of financing such research and making the regulatory environment more amenable to delivering new drugs for neglected diseases.
But he adds that such countries also need financial support from developed countries with strong R&D in the sector — support that is currently lacking.
The French government recently announced that a proportion of its new financial transaction tax will go towards global health R&D, which could generate an estimated US$2 billion a year. MSF and DNDi welcomed the move.
"Sustainable funding is key for research and development," Pécoul says. "To be sure that we'll have a new drug or vaccine in the future, we need ten years of investment, so France's mechanism is an excellent initiative."
Pécoul adds: "We hope other EU countries will follow suit and place drug development high on the agenda, but we also need strong support from regulatory authorities to help stimulate and streamline the development of new products for neglected diseases".
Policy Cures, an independent group providing research and analysis into drugs for neglected diseases, also called for more funding and better cooperation between developed and developing countries in a September report on EU investment in neglected diseases.
Javier Guzman, its director of research, tells SciDev.Net that novel funding tools like the financial transaction tax are needed.
"Neglected diseases R&D can't rely on a few funders or traditional financing mechanisms such as aid funding. Other avenues should be explored," he says.
He says that each developed country should put at least 0.01 per cent of its GDP towards research into these diseases, as suggested in a WHO report last year, and that endemic countries must also participate in this global effort.

Dr K. Ilango ( India )
17 February 2013
This is a good news but reminds that global collaboration for research is needed not only for drug development but vector control intervention far less achieved than what was anticipated mainly because for ex. inadequate knowledge in vector biology for control of visceral leishmaniasis in India comparable with that S. America.

Officer Shot in San Angelo
By: Alisa Hail
Updated: January 2, 2009
A DPS Trooper and two Concho County Deputy Sheriffs were investigating the whereabouts of a murder suspect for a murder which had taken place earlier that day at 2601 Jomar in San Angelo.
Information from the San Angelo Police Department indicated that the murder suspect might still be in the immediate area.
Moments later, a Texas Highway Patrol Trooper pulled over a suspicious car which was headed south down US 87 from San Angelo.
When the Trooper approached the vehicle to ascertain the identification of the driver and passenger, the passenger opened fire, shooting the officer with a 12 gauge shotgun.
The officer returned fire, striking the passenger who was later pronounced dead at the Concho County Hospital.
The driver of the vehicle was unarmed and transported to the Tom Green County jail where he faces charges of Attempted Capital Murder.
The Trooper was treated at the same hospital and later released.
The Texas Rangers are continuing to investigate the incident.

Navistar devises plan to counter losing EGR gamble
Navistar says it is hitting the "reset" button.
After years spent developing and marketing its own engine platform, a series of negative turns this year resulted in an about-face on Navistar's engine technology and a nosedive in its stock price. Now, executives say, they are charging ahead with a new engine strategy and a plan to restore customers' and investors' confidence in Navistar's products and to return the company to profitability.
"We really feel like our competitors are telling our story instead of us, and we want to change that," said Jack Allen, North American Truck Group President for Navistar, during a meeting at Navistar's headquarters in Lisle, Ill., with editors from Randall-Reilly Publishing Co., publisher of Overdrive
Allen says the controversial push to meet 2010 emissions standards using an exhaust gas recirculation-only engine, as opposed to one using selective catalytic reduction, was rooted in the pride Navistar takes in understanding its customers. "More than 9,000 fleets went out of business during the economic crash, while government regulations such as HOS, CSA as well as rising fuel prices have created big challenges for them," he explained. "We really thought an engine without SCR would be a big help to them."
Every other diesel engine manufacturer ruled out an EGR-only engine as impractical for meeting 2010 standards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. But Allen said Navistar felt their engineers could develop one, which would give the company a huge advantage for years.
"So we started early back in 2000 building engines that allowed us to stockpile credits because we knew we'd have a race against time on our hands to get to the EPA's 2010 NOX requirement of .2 grams before those credits expired," Allen explained. "And it really surprised us how loud our competition screamed about our efforts. They were scared to death."
In the end, "Our EPA credits ran out before we could get the technology perfected," he said. "The angst in the marketplace was starting to become overwhelming. So we're going to move forward."
As previously announced, that means offering the Cummins ISX15 in ProStar+ tractors beginning in January, with an EPA-certified MaxxForce 13 (with ICT+ exhaust after-treatment, Navistar's SCR technology) appearing in March. Until then, the company will continue to sell EGR-only MaxxForce 13 engines and pay an EPA non-compliance penalty for each one sold. A final EPA ruling as to the amount of the NCPs per engine is expected in 30 to 60 days. The announcement also said that Navistar would adopt a proprietary selective catalytic reduction system based on Cummins exhaust after-treatment systems.
A Federal Appeals Court decision last month ruled that EPA did not follow proper procedures in assessing non-compliance penalties (NCPs) to the MaxxForce 13 engines. The ruling also said that initial NCPs of $1,200 per engine were insufficient punishment and created an unfair advantage for Navistar over competitive companies that invested in SCR technology.
The court decision intensified the industry spotlight on Navistar's struggle to develop an EGR-only emissions solution as well as the company's ability to continue selling non-compliant engines. Additionally, reports of reliability issues with MaxxForce-equipped International Trucks and questions about the value of MaxxForce-equipped used trucks have led to Navistar's stock prices to drop from $47.42 a share in February to $24.75 a share by mid-August.
Prior to the decision, Navistar's EGR-only project had devolved into a bitter war of words and lawsuits against competitors, the California Air Resource Board, EPA and even customers as the company struggled to perfect its emissions solutions before EPA credits expired. The fallout left Navistar battered, and the North American trucking industry awash with rumors of unreliable engines and angry dealers and customers. Mainstream reporters for Forbes and The Wall Street Journal in recent months questioned the company's long-term cash-flow situation and viability, and reported on shareholder efforts to remove top Navistar officials. There has been speculation that an acquisition of the venerable North American truck maker by foreign automakers or full-blown bankruptcy are likely outcomes.
Allen and other Navistar officials expect nothing like that, now that their new strategy is in place. Customers should not be hesitant to purchase an EGR-only MaxxForce-equipped truck between now and March, Allen says. And likewise, he predicts concerns over the resale value of EGR-only MaxxForce will prove to be temporary as well.
"The judge didn't void the trucks," he says of the recent appellant court ruling. "Check out the website about trucks sold under interim rule. Nothing will happen. And as for used truck values? We feel the secondary market will be very receptive to a truck built without SCR. We don't think the truck market will penalize that at all. Our MaxxForce fuel economy is great. Our performance is great. And we have more than 50,000 of those engines out there."
Likewise, there should be no concerns about integration of the ISX15, says David Majors, vice president for North American product development. He says that Cummins and Navistar engineers working at an International R&D center in Colorado took a Cummins ISX15 from competitor's truck, installed it in a ProStar+ and added a Cummins after-treatment system in two days.

Players Club puts 'Alexander' on stage
SWARTHMORE — Alexander is having a bad day. A terrible day. A horrible day. To be quite honest, it's a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. But The Players Club of Swarthmore's Children's Theater Series is excited to bring this popular children's book to life with singing and dancing.
So Alexander — along with everyone else — has bad days, sometimes. In this delightful adaptation of her popular book, Judith Viorst sets Alexander's rather trying life to music and brings to the stage one of America's feistiest characters.
You'll join Alexander as he goes through some trying situations: waking up with gum in his hair, not getting any dessert in his lunch and his best friend deciding he's not his best friend anymore.
And if that's not bad enough, Alexander's brothers don't have any cavities but — he does. And just when it can't get any worse, there are lima beans for supper and —yuck!—kissing on TV. It is enough to make anyone want to go to Australia.
Alexander's struggles with life's daily dramas will not only entertain but educate young audiences as they identify with Alexander and the obstacles he encounters, encouraging them to share their feelings and to realize that bad days happen—even in Australia.
Director Josiah Donnell of Boothwyn has assembled a talented, local cast of grown up players from Drexel Hill, Havertown, Paoli, Devon and Wilmington, Del., to bring this popular story to life: Ed Donlevie, Ellie Knickman, Jim Carroll, Lacey Kurz, Kate LaSage, Meghan Hindmarch and Courtney Gardner.
With some singing and dancing, Alexander's bad day will certainly be an entertaining one for you and the kids in your life!
"Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" runs Saturday at 4:30 p.m.; Sunday at 11 a.m.; Friday, Feb. 15 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, Feb. 16 at 4:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Feb. 17 at 11 a.m. All of the Children's Series productions will be performed on The Players Club of Swarthmore's Raymond W. Smith stage on the second floor.
Adult tickets are $10 each and children under 12 are $8. Cash, check or credit accepted. All children 2 years of age and under are free. All tickets are sold at the door on the day of the performance.
The Players Club of Swarthmore, an all-volunteer organization now in its 102nd season, is located at 614 Fairview Road. Visit www.pcstheater.org for information.

Suspended Fire Co. Receives 78 Applications
By: Jennifer Lee
Updated: January 8, 2013
Charles Summers, Washington County Division of Emergency Services, presented 78 applications from people interested in positions at Fairplay.
"They would like to provide service to the Fairplay Area, however, they are not going to do that with the current management of that fire company," says Summers.
Nearly half the applicants are certified firefighters and most of them also live in and around the Fairplay area.
Stephanie Clipp is going on six years as a volunteer with Fairplay and says she has seen her friends and family get kicked out over the past years.
Clipp is currently listed as "not in good service."
She says, "If you're showing an opinion that does not vote well for the membership or for the higher ups they find a way to get you out."
The Task Force also voted in December to add a recommendation for a change in leadership.
"We voted to include a recommendation that the current administration, specifically Mr. Heller and Mr. Pennington, be removed from office and new administration be put in place," says Paul Miller, Fairplay Task Force.
County officials have asked the Task Force to present their final proposals by the end of this month.
For now the outpouring of interested applicants appears to be a positive sign.
Summers says, "It shows that there is a tremendous amount of support providing the necessary fire service here in the Fairplay Area."
"I have a very vested interest in it," says Clipp, "I love the community, and for the most part, we got along but unfortunately, the leadership, they're ruining it."
The next Task Force meeting will be 7 p.m. on January 14th at Rockland Woods Elementary School.

Boz pays homage to the gritty, gutsy, scrappy, first place 2013 underdog Yankees:
Read More...Perhaps for the first time in their history, the Yankees now epitomize exactly the kind of team that always used to try to beat them: a group of inspired-by-adversity, too-old-or-too-young, one-last-chance players who band together to prove that baseball is a team game, not just an aggregation of talent and fat contracts.
Put a few all-star seasons, such as Cano's 31 RBI, Kiroda's 1.99 ERA and Rivera's 16 ...

Annual Report 2001
02/01/2002- 1. Introduction
- 2.1 Priorities of Inspections Performed in 2001
- 2.2 Overall Surveys of Results of Control
- 2.3 Results of Controls of the Microbiological Requirements
- 2.4 Results of Analyses for Contaminants
- 2.5 Controls of Labelling and Quality
- 2.6 Thematic and Extraordinary Inspections
- 2.6.1 Inspections focusing on food safety
- 2.6.2 Inspections focused on adulterations
- 2.6.3 Complex and other inspections
- 2.7 Inspections in production
- 2.8 Inspections in trade network
- 2.9 Suggestions
- 2.10 Penalties
- 3 Laboratory Activities
- 4 Certification Activities
- 5 Internal Information System
- 6 Personnel Training
- 7 Activities in the Field of Legislation
- 8 Cooperation with Other Authorities and Institutions
- 9 International Relations
- 10 Public Relations
- 11 Conclusion
- 12 Abbreviations and Explanations
The selected inspectors verified their working with notebooks directly in the fieldwork during inspections when they could print right on spot protocols, partial protocols and bans. Assessment of this activity showed that the legibility and layout of the inspection materials improved and awareness of the inspectors increased, on the other side, it pointed out that it is necessary to change the specialised software applications so that the documents could be printed during the field work automatically based on the loaded data about the particular inspection.
A considerable progress arrived also in the field of corporate Intranet. Intranet was installed in the headquarters at the end of 2000 and was gradually loaded with various types of internal documents all through 2001 (methodical instructions, organisational rules and manuals, directives of the General Manager, etc.), as well as with external regulations and documents (EU Directives, Codex Alimentarius instructions, CSN standards). Moreover, it is possible to publish in the Intranet the ongoing reports on the events organised and controlled by the headquarters, planned controls for contaminants, up-to-date reports on infringement of food safety regulations and the latest results of media monitoring.
Since 1996 CAFIA has been using its own information system whose principal programs are "Inspections" and "Laboratory Activities". This system has been modified and completed a few times in the course of its service. The biggest problem of the current period is that the data gathered during inspections are not fully available on-line for the entire organisation. Therefore, CAFIA is getting ready for the transition to the internet/intranet technological platform. The goal is to create a client/server application for the on-line data collection from both the inspections and laboratory activities via web interface to one central server and differentiated remote access to data functioning on the basis of access right for various staff categories. The creation of one unified system would refer to the subsystems for Inspections, Laboratory Activities, CAFIA Surveys, Complaints, Certification of Fruit and Vegetables, and Economy. Questions and selection within the system would be made both using patterns for typical questions and the proper question fabrication. The IS should maintain all functions and majority of outputs of the existing system and should make the maximum use of the corporate hardware sources.
The initial step of this design was a study about the new information system that was worked out by an external company by the end of 2001. It will serve in later period as the basis for implementation of the new information system that should increase essentially the communication support of both inspectors and the CAFIA management.

"This Is Not A Rebel Song"
This was the first time I got to see my favourite band. The energy of the young quartet on stage was absolutely electric and there was certainly a nervous energy as Bono introduced "Sunday Bloody Sunday", my recollection of how he introduced the song went something like this - "This is not a rebel song it is the first time we are playing it in Northern Ireland, if you don't like it we won't play it again" This was certainly a moment I wil not forget as the crowd listened and sang along as if they had heard this song so many times before.
The highlight for me was having the opportunity to interview Bono after the gig with my friend Gary. I remember Gary asking "how did you feel when a few people decided to leave when you sang Sunday Bloody Sunday"? Bono's response was simple and spontaneous, he sang a few lines of the song and replied "does that sound like a rebel song" I don't know how Gary managed to continue to ask questions I was dumbstruck. I never got a chance to say thanks to the band...Thanks from Brick (brick through a window)
Mili0815 - 19 April, 2010
Fan since 1985...look at for us ok?
we getting old as well!
Great show, great band.

was perfect...the band was perfect - march -5-2007
São Paulo - Brazil - I was Stand very close to stage-
the best moment was they did singing "Elevesion"and "Vertigo"

cdglover - 19 April, 2010
Belfast Pre-war 82
Bono climbing speaker stacks, promising never to play "Sunday Bloody Sunday" again if we didn't like it. "Surrender", "A Celebration" and "Gloria" all sounded great. Where I went from liking U2 to loving them. Since then I have seen them at Wembley, Manchester, Glasgow... but will never forget the intimacy of seeing them in a sports hall! A great memory.

Here you go, "Where Are The Cheaper Rents in SF?"
Gannett Co. Inc's money-losing (millions and millions so far) San Francisco media experiment is, once again, taking on an issue of concern to newcomers:
Where Should I Live And What Does Where I Live Say About Me?
Except this time it's a dump from TBI "partner" Zumper, whatever the Hell that is.
So all there's for the low level TBI people to do is make the accompanying graphics to break up the grafs.
Oh, here we go:
So, you know why the rents are cheaper here generally, GANNETCOINCTHEBOLDITALICZUMPER? It's because of all the federally-subsidized housing projects.
Oh, but you knew that and you showed that you knew that. So that's good, I guess.
But actually, the area you're showing is mostly PJ's and concomitant parking lots? So the small number of readers you have won't be able to actually move in, right? I can think of just one small area, in the upper right, where your data points come from. Is that what you're talking about, TBIZumper?
Anyway, that's why streets like Buchanan and Octavia don't go through, because of the Redevelopment, right?
Except Laguna does go through, right? Do you know that, TBI? (And a good thing it does, else the climate in this area would be even more muggy, if you know what I mean.)
And how many people at TBI looked at "MACALLISTER" and said, "Looks good to me, no problems here?"
But check it, the typos aren't the problem, they are just the symptom of your problem.
From TBI:
"…here in San Francisco, we're striving to create our own culturally significant publication that captures the city in such a thoughtful way…"
So, TBI, do you really think you're a culturally significant publication? Do you really think you're capturing the city in a thoughtful way?
I don't.
So, TBI, do you really think you're:
"a San Francisco-based website building a cultural narrative of the city for both locals and tourists?"
Well, I can see that you're aimed at tourists but I don't know about cultural narratives and whatnot.
All right, enjoy your high burn rate.
And enjoy your unsustainable clubhouse on Page while you slap a few graphics onto your partners' pretty-much-worthless content.
And enjoy your self-indulgent field trips that really really super serve your readers.

Internet-connected devices now outnumber people in the U.S.
Say hello to your shiny, Wi-Fi-enabled overlords
By Katie McdonoughTopics: technology, Internet Culture, Smart Phones, Culture, Life News, News
Everyone stay calm, but a new report from market researchers NPD Group shows that we are now outnumbered by our gadgets. That's right, there are currently more smartphones, computers, tablets and game consoles in this country than there are humans.
There are currently 315 million people in the United States, but NPD estimates that there are 425 million devices operating in U.S. households. And with cheaper tablets and other devices hitting the market at a rapid clip, that number is sure to continue to grow.
The way I see it, we either start reproducing or learn to speak binary code — fast.

1. | Pepsi Vanilla | ||
It's like drinking carbonated ice cream. Without the ice cream. Vanilla Coke and Vanilla Pepsi tastes the same, I'll take either one.
2. | Pepsi Vanilla | ||
after creating the god-awful Pepsi Blue, the Pepsi company needed to redeem itself by making a vanilla soda and sucked at marketing so they had to try to make fun of Vanilla Coke in the ads Pepsi Vanilla is good but not as good as Vanilla Coke
3. | pepsi vanilla | ||
Nectar of the Gods, The best drink ever! Devin drank a Pepsi Vanilla and then threw a cat off a tall building.
4. | pepsi vanilla | ||
after Pepsi Blue went away, they decided to copy Vanilla Coke. The two sodas taste EXACTLY the same, but Pepsi Vanilla claims to be better than Vanilla Coke. (pepsi vanilla commercial)
man1:Dude, don't get a vanilla coke, it sucks. |
5. | Pepsi Vanilla | ||
It really sucks That's all that needs to be said.
6. | Pepsi Vanilla | ||
The end result of ejaculating into a woman's anus and having her excrete the semen into a wine glass. Doris and I enjoyed an after dinner Pepsi Vanilla.
7. | Pepsi Vanilla | ||
A mix of sugar sludge water and a vaugly taste-having vanilla ingrediant along with the minimum amount of carbonation to make it considered soda a desperate attempt to kick as much ass of coke made by pepsi to to their lack of originality and ability to make a non-shit drink some examples of their shit drinks are 1.pepsi 2.diet pepsi 3.pepsi one 4. diet caffine free pepsi 5.pepsi blue 6.pepsi twist the list goes on for years but the worst has to be pepsi blue people who drink this stuff have generally never had a real kikass drink such as coke and should be shot
commonly pronounced as (shit n water) 1.GOD this pepsi vanilla sure tastes like shit!
2.DAMN i knew the pepsi vanilla commercial was lying when they said its better then coke. 3.AW shit did pepsi vanilla actually meen swampp water or something? |

2013 Media Preview
Feb 7th - 8th
2013 First Look For Charity
Feb 8th
Public Show
Feb 9th - 18th
Scion, the youth brand of Toyota, will be bringing the "thunder" to the 2012 Chicago Auto Show.
Utilizing nearly 30 percent more space than last year's show, Scion is using its additional real estate to erect an expansive product and media theater, dubbed "Thunderdome." Gone is the Matchbox-style vehicle showcase, which was a mainstay on the major auto show circuit for nearly five years.
Featuring 15-foot-tall, overhead LED screens, and an enhanced sound system, the new exhibit is awash with action-packed videos and eye-popping graphics. At the center of the exhibit will be the 2013 Scion FR-S compact rear-wheel drive sports car. The 200-horsepower FR-S goes on sale this spring,
There will be several Scion products on display, among them the Scion iQ micro sub-compact, which went on sale in the fourth quarter of 2011. Each product has a zone and a video wall. Every zone is equipped with a digital product information and comparison tool, plus the Scion sX – an award-winning, immersive guest experience that features branded content, user participation, and information sharing.
"We think Chicago-area visitors will enjoy the modifications that we've made to our exhibit," said Steve Hatanaka, Auto Shows and Special Events Manager at Scion. "It remains true to Scion's roots of authenticity, personalization and youth."

" To illustrate is to communicate is to move.
To create images from emotion.
The emotion becomes the heartbeat of the image.
It is the image's soul. To dream, observe, process.
I contemplate the world as I create it.
The questioning look becomes a look of passion.
To illustrate from a desire to see what does not exist.
To shape things not as they are but as I want them to be.
To transform the world and myself by reinventing
the shape of things, of all things.
The invented world is born from the dream of the world."

Donald Trump
'Birther' I guess I am one too!
I guess that I have joined the ranks of being a 'Birther', because I would like to see Obama's birth certificate too. I only have one question about this. Why, spend millions of dollars in legal fees if you have the appropriate document proving us wrong? That alone makes Obama look guilty of not being born in the US.
Donald Trump, obviously is a smart person - look at his wealth he has built. He also question's whether or not Obama is a true-blue American. Trump said that "the fact is that we haven't seen his birth certificate," arguing that the short-form certificate Obama showed was "some document" that didn't confirm anything. This whole issue would be laid to rest if the birth certificate was shown.
When I searched the internet for the true meaning of what a 'Birther' is, I came across the Urban Dictionary meaning, some of these are hilarious.
Birther - A racist sore loser who can't deal with having a black president so they make up absurd conspiracy theories about Barack Obama's birth certificate. These nutjobs actually believe that there has been a conspiracy going back 48 years to fake Barack Obama's birth certificate. Apparently they had a crystal ball and knew that this black child (born in the days of segregation) would someday run for President.
A knuckle dragging gutter culture warrior related to tea bagging citizens who don't want to pay taxes because they don't support our troops. "Obama's parents were so smart they planned 50 years ago to have a baby on foreign land and get him elected into the White House so he can raise taxes to pay for our troops. It's true I am a tea bagging birther"

Queer Studies Minor
Queer Studies is a rapidly growing field of study that focuses on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, their history, and culture. Queer Studies grew out of feminist scholarship into a distinct field of inquiry. Queer Studies is inter-disciplinary, drawing upon cultural and social history, theory, sociology, psychology, theatre, anthropology, law and political science, among other fields. Queer Studies is a method of inquiry that explores the role of same-sex desire across and among cultures and histories. Queer Studies considers sexualities and genders as identities, social statuses, categories of knowledge, and as lenses that help us to frame how we understand our world. Please visit our links at the right for more information about the Queer Studies minor. The Queer Studies Minor is housed in the Women's Studies office and supported institutionally by the Women's Studies Program, but you do not have to be a Women's Studies major or minor to pursue a QSM. You can combine a QSM with any major or minor at UNH. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. |

Ultramarines at MCM Expo: take 2!
The reason for this extra post is to revise the timing for the event - I've just been told it will now be at 2 pm, that's 2 pm, and it will be followed by a half hour signing at the Ultramarines stand.
an infinite number of typewriters and some damn fine monkeys can get you a long way
My question is:
With this much excessive manliness both involved in the film and on the panel, what steps (if any) have been taken to alleviate the inevitable homoerotic explosion (probably scoring a 2.1 on the Top Gun Scale)?
You have no idea how glad they have you doing this project.
I wonder how bloody it will be,hopefully not geared too much toward kids and more toward young adult or dare I dream Liquid Television esque maturity.
It would be so cool if they really let you take the gloves off and they let you get graphic the Heavy Metal the movie.
Not the jiggly parts but the other cool stuff like Den jamming his rifle barrel in the top of someones head or a taxicab that disintergrates the fares.
Damn thats what I get for writing a post first and Zinging second :)
I have no fears whatsoever in the writing. With you at the story's helm I know the 40K mythos is well represented. My only fear is this, how much attention is being paid to the look of the Marines? The pictures posted on Flickr haven't filled me with confidence. I feel strongly that the art in the Codexes (yes, I know it isn't really the plural) is perfect and should be used as the guide for animations. Where do the film makers stand on this?
Will there be a focus group, and how do I get on it?
As previously stated, I've just got my first major credit playing Dobson in Age of Heroes.
As the owner of Heresy-Online I'm also "pretty well known" on the interwebs. Would be cool to gain another credit in a movie setting I'm so passionate about.
So, onto my question! :)
Will there be an opportunity to speak to the producer alone at some stage Dan?
Lee Jerrum
My major concerne is not about script - i have great faith in you mister Abnett. But in the adversary for our brave heroes. Please dont tell me that it would be orcs! Last 6 months black library and GW make only orcs orcs and orcs. The orcs are stupid and very poor adversary for SM! Please - tyranids, Chaos Marines (thats the ideal), daemons but not the orcs!
And second question - release date? Autumn? Or 2011.
Hey Dan, way off topic but I'd like to ask you anyway. First of all, just finished the GotG 'War of Kings' tpb and loved it! Awesome, as usual. My question is, I've heard rumors that that was the last of this series of GotG books, but that they're going to start off a NEW series from issue #1. Is this true? Are you and Andy still going to be writing it? Please, please, please say you are. Oh, and I can't wait for the 40K movie. It's gonna rock!!!
When can we expect "The Eisenhorn Trilogy", the epic series of films that will go down in history with the likes of Star Wars, Star Trek, Aliens, etc. as one of the greatest sci-fi contributions of my lifetime? :)
Also glad you are working on this Ultramarines project, been excited about a 40k movie since the Dawn of War 1 intro movie.
Will there be amazing cameos by any of the cast of Eisenhorn and/or Ravenor?
Now that we've gotten that most likely "No" answer out of the way, onto the actual movie!
Just how involved are you in the script and the movie as a whole?
How much inspiration from already established art are the directors taking?
Is there any specific type of movie they're going for? Perhaps a combination, like mostly action with some mystery, etc.
I would LOVE to see the Ultramarines movie be a tale of conflict between say Word Bearers and the big U's ... i would Imagine that would be a brutal - idealogically fueled brawl - perfect for 40K ... as someone said please not Orcs ha ha .. anyway looking forward to it whatever the advesary is - a Warhammer movie ? WOW
People are disappointed with Ultramarine teaser. Really disappointed.
I disagree with Anonymous. I am impressed especially with the scale of the animation and the CGI. If the voice fits with a different model then it's great too.
Hi Dan, I apologise for my queue jumping. I had no idea there was a panel, or a book signing. I was in fact loitering for the preview video and ended up right next to your desk.
But thanks for letting me butt in and quickly ask about Prospero Burns.
All the best
The Space Wolves Blog
I mean CGI is really nice but....
"All that stands in their way is the mighty Space Marines." - And what about Imperial Guard?
"And the greatest of them all are the Ultramarines" - Really? I mean, really?! I'm not asking whether Blood Angels, Space Wolves, Imperial Fists, etc. are better.... but Grey Knights! Grey Knights!
Anonymous, remember that films like these are aimed at a general audience in a hope to bring them into the hobby, not at established fans.
Will this movie come on Blu Ray? It simply MUST!!! :)

Drexel holds off Old Dominion for victory
NORFOLK, Va. — Damion Lee scored a career-high 34 points with 10 rebounds as Drexel held off Old Dominion, 81-77, to snap a two-game skid and split the season series.
Lee was 11-of-14 shooting, hitting 7 of 8 3-pointers.
The Monarchs, who defeated Drexel, 78-66, Feb. 7 prior to losing four of their next five games, trailed by 15 before tying it at 53. After the Dragons (12-17, 8-9 Colonial Athletic Association) regained a four-point lead, Old Dominion knotted it at 59 with 7:45 remaining.
Lee answered with seven points on a 10-1 Drexel run, but the Monarchs came back again, closing to 79-77 with 43 seconds left. Old Dominion's Richard Ross blocked Frantz Massenat's shot, then Drexel's Dartaye Ruffin stole the ball. Massenat sealed it with two free throws to finish with 22 points.
DeShawn Painter and Aaron Bacote scored 15 points apiece to lead the Monarchs (4-25, 2-15).
