5 is tough. I don't think you are ever going to get to 'keep' the shows. Play them on different devices? Sure, with applications that is totally doable. Watch them as many times as your bandwidth allows and as long as you keep paying the subscription? Sure, stream away. But keep them? No. Content creators got bills to pay too.
i think it will get to the point where everything is just streamed, or you could download DRM free movies. they did it with music, they should do it with movies. theres so many devices out there, so many thin clients that just cannot play DRM content.
so instead of movie companies making money off selling movies these devices can play, they force people to get movies in other formats that the clients can play (eg downloading a mkv torrent)
it will be interesting to see how ubuntu tv sells/rents movies when that comes out

Police officers in a cross-over television show/video game debuting in the United States in April will be driving Dodge Chargers.
But the Chargers in "Defiance" will be souped-up versions of those now on the road with armor and artillery, some of it adapted from invading aliens, The Detroit News reported.
The show/game is set in the city of Defiance, built on the ruins of St. Louis after some sort of global apocalypse. The sheriff hero is fighting off the aliens.
The game is scheduled to go live in early April while the show debuts April 15 on the Syfy channel.
"We wanted to be the first to do something entirely new," said Mark Malmstead, a Chrysler media manager. "We just loved the look and feel of this project, and it aligned perfectly with our demographic targets, who are young, predominantly male and educated. There's a lot of car chases and gunfights in the program."
Malmstead described the Charger as a "sexy muscle car" that is perfect for the show. But he said the company has no plans to market cars equipped with alien technology, armor and artillery to the general public.
"It'd be cool, but not likely," he said.

I have several regrets in life, but none quite rival my short-sighted decision to join the refreshments committee at my children's elementary school.
I naively calculated that in exchange for baking a cake or two during the year, I would be free of constant pings imploring me to stock books in the library, chaperone rock climbing trips to Malibu, read to the class, collect canned goods at Thanksgiving, donate money so 5th graders can ride in a limo after graduating, clean classroom tables, buy 10 yellow t-shirts, or collect tickets and paint sets for the school play.
Well, I got that one wrong, on both accounts.
Friends, you can't imagine how many meetings they have at schools, and apparently they all require a sweet. The other day when the email reminder of my obligation to bake for the magic show popped up, I searched food52 with desperation for a delicious confection suitable for weeknight baking.
I happened upon Nutella Cupcakes which has quickly become my go-to recipe for such occasions. (Obligations? Whatever.)
What makes this recipe so interesting is that it calls for very little butter – a mere two tablespoons – because its main fat source is the Nutella. Its ease stems from both its few steps and few bowls, and the fact that its very delicious ganache frosting is made in the microwave! (Some of you will frown about the corn syrup involved here. In general terms I agree. In worse-case scenarios of deep need, exceptions must be made.)
My kids helped me whip them up, and the whole thing was over in about an hour, including cooling time. I doubled the recipe and don't you know, they all sold out during the first half of the show.
My kids liked these cupcakes so much I have since made them on two other occasions. Love you, Miss aptly-named pieceofcake!
I have only three small notes: I skipped the hazelnuts because no one wanted them, so I can't speak to what they add. When I doubled the recipe I had just enough but when I made only a dozen, as the recipe calls for, I seemed to only have enough batter for 10. (This may have been because I filled a few cups too high. Don't do that.)
Finally, you've got to make sure you get that Nutella as smooth as possible; if it lumps here and there you will have a concave cupcake or two in your batch. If this happens, do as I did and cover the sin with more frosting, and call it molten.
Nutella Cupcakes
By pieceofcake
Serves 12
For the cupcakes:
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Whisk together the flour and salt and set aside.
3. With an electric mixer in a medium bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the vanilla and almond extracts and beat until well-blended. Add the sugar and beat until fluffy and pale in color. Beat in the Nutella until well-incorporated, stopping to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl while beating. Add the eggs and beat until smooth. On low speed, beat in half the flour mixture just until it beings to disappear into the batter. Beat in the milk. Fold in the remainder of the flour mixture by hand until the batter is smooth.
4. Pour the batter into the muffin cups, filling them no more than 1/2 full. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs -- if in doubt, pull them from the oven a bit early -- do not over bake. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
For the ganache:
1. Place the chocolate chips, butter and corn syrup in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 second intervals, stopping to stir after each interval, until the mixture is shiny and smooth. Stir in the vanilla.
2. When the cupcakes are completely cool, using a spoon, top each one with about two teaspoons of the ganache, and with the back of the spoon coax it as close to the edges as possible without letting it drip down the sides (or go on and let it drip...drippy chocolate is rarely a bad thing). Sprinkle on a bit of the chopped hazelnuts. Let the ganache set before storing in an airtight container at room temperature overnight--these cupcakes truly taste better the next day. But if you want to defy me and serve the cupcakes immediately, refrigerate them for about five minutes and the ganache will quickly set.

|So What's on your ATM?
Missing "on-machine" fee notices attract class-action plaintiffs
June 4, 2010
A quick note from the ABA's Unofficial "An ounce of prevention is worth several pounds of cure" Department: Right now might be an excellent time to double-check to see if your bank has a properly posted notice regarding fees on each of its ATMs. A quick look now could help insulate you later from a class-action litigation "gotcha" that has the potential to turn the Federal Reserve's Regulation E into Regulation "Expensive."
Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) and its implementing regulations, Regulation E, require that financial institutions must provide a disclosure regarding fees that are (or may be) associated with using an ATM. In addition to the content of that disclosure, Regulation E prescribes where the disclosures must be located.
And, thus, the source of the current "gotcha."
Under the regulations, two forms of notice are required. The first, which most banks handle without a problem, is the "screen or paper notice." This is the notice that pops up on the ATM screen (or appears on a slip of paper) during the transaction that alerts a customer that a specific amount will be charged for the pending transaction, allowing the consumer to cancel the transaction request to avoid the fee.
The second form of disclosure, known as the "on machine" notice, requires a bank to post a notice in a "prominent and conspicuous location" on the ATM that a fee may be imposed. It is this second set of disclosures that is generating litigation. The provisions of Regulation E governing ATM disclosures have been interpreted by the Federal Reserve as requiring both "on machine" and "screen/paper" notices. Confusingly, there was a period of time when the FDIC's Compliance Examination Handbook suggested that providing one or the other form of disclosure, but not both, complied with the statute.
Starting late last year, plaintiffs' attorneys began targeting banks and credit unions for violation of the ATM disclosure rules. The common thread in each of these lawsuits is that the institution operating the ATM allegedly failed to provide a proper "on machine" notice. Class action lawsuits seeking damages have been filed in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and other jurisdictions.
Are these lawsuits legitimate concern? Most give the appearance of being filed mostly for their nuisance/settlement value. The EFTA caps class action damages at the lesser of $500,000 or 1% of the net worth of a defendant (plus attorney fees and costs). The statute also provides a defendant with excellent grounds to respond to the suit should they choose to defend rather than settle. For example, ATM operations are not liable for damages if -
• The required notice was removed as a result of vandalism or other acts by third parties;
• The alleged violation was not intentional and resulted from a bona fide error; or
• The bank can demonstrates a good faith attempt at compliance with any rule, regulation, or interpretation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board.
These last two points are of particular importance to state chartered non-Member institutions. At least one institution has successfully raised the FDIC's prior interpretation of the EFTA's disclosure requirements as a defense to an alleged failure to provide "on machine" notice. See Dover v. Union Building and Loan Savings Bank.
The Bottom Line: now is a real good time to check to see if your bank has a properly posted "on machine" notice on every ATM to alert customers that they will incur a fee for any electronic fund transfer or balance inquiry. A look now may save you trouble and expense later.

SKF concludes strategic service agreement with Floatel International AB
2015 June 01, 10:00 CEST
A breakthrough for SKF's condition-based technology within the marine industry
Gothenburg, Sweden, 1 June 2015: SKF has concluded a global service agreement with Floatel International AB to supply services within condition-based maintenance to the company's modern floating accommodation and service platforms for maintenance personnel within the offshore industry.
Floatel International would like to increase the service interval for its thrusters, which are used to keep the platforms in position, so-called dynamic positioning. By extending the maintenance interval from five to seven years, the company will have greater flexibility when planning dockyard visits, as well as increased flexibility in serving the market.
Extending the service interval is possible thanks to condition-based maintenance, which uses equipment and methods approved by the classification societies DNV and ABS. The primary advantage of using a condition-based system is an ability to meet the customer's accessibility needs and coordinate maintenance of on-board equipment with a dockyard visit. Using a condition-based system can also help to reduce the costs associated with dismantling the thrusters over the lifetime of the platform. It´s very costly to dismantle a thruster, meaning the overall cost is reduced by extending the service interval.
"This strategic agreement is an important development for SKF and our technology for condition-based maintenance within the marine industry," says Anders Welin, Business Engineer at SKF.
State-of-the-art floatels
Floatel International's state-of-the-art service vessels are built to withstand tough weather conditions at sea and the company currently operates four platforms around the world in the North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, Australia and Brazil. The platforms can accommodate over 400 beds, 70 or so office work stations and over 2,000 m² of deck work area with cranes and service equipment.
SKF will equip each thruster on the platform with SKF Multilog IMX-M, which is a sophisticated online system for monitoring complex rotating machinery. This robust and easy-to-use system also communicates with the platform's internal control system (DCS), providing early notification about vibrations and temperatures that exceed established control limits. All data is stored and analysed on a monthly basis by experts at SKF using SKF Aptitude Observer software. Recommended actions are communicated to Floatel with the aid of a web-based presentation system, SKF Results Reporter.
"This global agreement for condition-based maintenance creates new opportunities for expanding the programme to include more of the system's critical mechanical elements," says Anders Welin.
Facts about Floatel International AB
Floatel International AB was established in 2006 to satisfy market demand for a new generation of offshore floatels. The company's vision is to own and operate the most modern, safe and reliable floatel fleet in the world in order to meet the increased market demand.

With today's high performance/density/pin-count ICs, power delivery systems design requires tight collaboration between the engineer and layout designer to ensure that clean, sufficient power is delivered to the ICs through multiple PCB power and ground structures. Coupled with the HyperLynx product suite for signal integrity (SI) analysis and verification, Mentor is now providing users with the industry's most comprehensive and useable solution available for high-performance electronic product design.
"We have advanced users today that are required to design over 30 power delivery structures into a single PCB, driven by the multiple voltage levels and power requirements of their high-performance ICs," said Henry Potts, vice president and general manager of Mentor Graphics Systems Design Division. "The design of these structures requires quick and accurate analysis of both DC power drop and power noise. With accurate analysis, the power and ground plane structures and de-coupling capacitor number, as well as placements, can be determined, thus avoiding over-conservative design and higher product cost."
"It's hard to escape power integrity design issues in today's electronic products," stated Dr. Eric Bogatin, president of Bogatin Enterprises, a world-leading provider of signal and power integrity training. "They either push the envelope in performance or can't afford the added cost of over-design margin. With the huge range of noise tolerances, impedance targets, and split plane issues, every product's PDN (power distribution network) is custom. HyperLynx PI can help an engineer create cost-effective design rules for the power delivery network and answer the important 'what if?' design questions early in the design cycle, bypassing the expensive build-it and test-it route. You can't beat the combination of accuracy, ease-of-use, and transparent integration with the rest of the PCB design flow Mentor has built into HyperLynx PI. With these capabilities, engineers can now take the quickest route to market with the most cost-effective or highest performing products, and avoid expensive and time-consuming prototypes and re-spins."
The drive to lower power in today's products has led to high performance ICs using multiple voltage levels — some very low. With lower voltages, the DC power and noise margins are very small. This creates the need for multiple power delivery structures on a PCB and the need for that power to be exceptionally clean. The first issue is defining the power and ground split-planes to avoid excessive current densities and DC voltage drop. The HyperLynx PI product provides both pre- and post-layout analysis of irregular power and ground plane structures incorporating the exact IC pin locations and models. The results of the analysis can be both visual and textual, enabling the designer to quickly identify and resolve power and/or ground plane structure problems.
The second issue is the integrity, or absence of noise of the delivered power. The designer needs to determine the number and location of decoupling capacitors and the goal is to save component cost and board area by avoiding over-conservative (excessive) use of bypass capacitors. The designer may also want to experiment with the PCB fabrication materials and stack-up to determine the best electrical and cost solution. The HyperLynx PI product provides accurate analysis of the power integrity, enabling the designer to determine the best number, placement and values of the de-coupling capacitors. With this information, the designer can perform correct-by-design layout of the power structures and decoupling-capacitor placements for single-pass power integrity design.
The HyperLynx PI product is tightly integrated with the HyperLynx SI (signal integrity) product suite to provide a comprehensive analysis and verification solution for today's high performance products. The HyperLynx SI product includes complete signal integrity and delay analysis functionality for classical parallel (synchronous), advanced-memory (DDR, DDR2, DDR3 - source-synchronous), and SERDES serial (asynchronous) bus interconnects. With the HyperLynx products, engineers and designers can optimize the performance of their advanced design while avoiding the need for costly prototypes and manufacturing re-spins.
The HyperLynx PI product is available now to select customers with pricing starting at $35K with general release targeted for first quarter 2009. It integrates with Mentor's Expedition™ Enterprise, PADS® and Board Station® flows, as well as third party PCB design solutions such as Allegro and CR 5000.

We believe in the importance of diverse, environmentally-relevant forestation and will ensure the planting and consistent maintaining of New Zealand native trees throughout Aotearoa (New Zealand).
A wide ranging audience.
We want to attract businesses that already care for the environment.
Yet we want our design to be able to attract new businesses, ones who would traditionally not choose to work with an eco-company.
The logo will be used by us and our customers to show they have joined a green programme. Accordingly, it needs to be a logo that a diverse range of businesses would want to use with their own marketing and which consumers will instantly recognise as representing a green/ eco-company.
We need a logo that will represent the heart of our business: a business balancing their carbon footprint by planting trees and helping the native eco-system and wildlife in the process.
Most importantly this image has to be very simple and yet easily recognizable as we plan to use it on a variety of media, from very small stickers to affix to a businesses vehicle, certificates, stationary and to online and larger scale branding.
In our initial brainstorming, obviously, the colour green was a central element (not just for the eco message but also for the clean, green New Zealand image) and a tree icon.
We are open to concepts as long as they are, once again, clean, simple and recognizable. Perhaps something to do with trees and a carbon footprint????
It is also important to note that many businesses may use this logo as part of their own marketing in the future, so it has to be appropriate for a wide and diverse range of large and small businesses.
Thank you so much!

Windows 8 Release Preview: The Dueling Operating Systems
Still a work in progress before it rolls out as the next version of Microsoft Windows, Windows 8 Release Preview features the prospect of two versions of Windows built into a single package.
The Windows Start menu, now expanded into its own Start screen, comes with its own eco-system of apps. The Start screen is so full of features, it could almost work as its own operating system. In fact, the Start screen forms the bulk of Windows 8's Windows RT version, which will be built into most Windows touchscreen tablets sold at the year's end.
Although the Start screen functions well on its own, few people are ready to give up the traditional Windows desktop. And that's where Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro come in, offering both the Start screen and the traditional desktop.
But by bundling two operating systems into one computer, Microsoft's left some critics wondering if the one-size-fits all package will work outside of Microsoft's laboratories.
With Windows 8, people will need to deal with two control panels, two versions Internet Explorer, two file managers, and two media players. That's twice as many new things to learn.
Separate but intertwined — Windows 8 desktop and Start screen
Although the Start screen and the desktop mostly work as separate, self-contained ways of using a computer, they're intertwined in unpredictable ways. Instead of keeping the two worlds separate, Windows 8 constantly shuffles you between them.
For example, you can create a new user account from the Start screen's control panel. But changing that account's settings requires a visit to the desktop's Control Panel. Need to add a user account from the desktop's Control Panel? Windows drops you back off at the Start screen's control panel to finish the job.
The tendrils between the two systems work in unexpected ways. When you click on a song in your desktop's Music library, for example, you might expect the desktop's Media Player to play the song. Instead, Windows switches to the Start screen, and the Music app begins playing the song.
Plug in your digital camera while on the Start screen, and the desktop appears for Windows Explorer to import the photographs.
Microsoft tries to make these switches as graceful as possible, but some people will find the constant bouncing between the two worlds to be a distraction.
Fingertip versus mouse pointer
Another criticism comes from combining the large, finger-sized Start screen with the tiny, menu-packed desktop. When moved from the Start screen to the desktop, a fingertip doesn't offer as much control as a mouse.
Many tablet owners will simply drop a small mouse into their computer bag, and call the problem solved. Touchscreen laptop owners will simply move their fingers onto their touchpad when the desktop appears. But many desktop owners complain that they're being forced to use a touchscreen system with an unwieldy mouse and keyboard.
But no matter how the public reacts to Windows 8, one thing's for certain. By removing the desktop's Start button and intertwining the two operating systems, Microsoft's trying to wean a generation of computer owners away from the mouse and toward touchscreens.
By making the desktop just another app, Microsoft's preparing customers for a new world of only touchscreens and apps. Those that don't like the concept can simply hang onto their Windows 7 computers. Those that prefer the Start screen ecosystem, will embrace Windows 8.
Note: At the time of this writing, Microsoft hadn't yet completed Windows 8. Some of these details could change when Microsoft releases Windows 8 later this year.

Unchanged from last year's projection, Social Security's combined retirement and disability programs have dedicated resources sufficient to cover benefits for the next 19 years, until 2033. However, the projected depletion date for Social Security's Disability Insurance Trust Fund is much sooner, according to the Social Security and Medicare Trustees report released Monday.
"Social Security's disability program alone has dedicated funds sufficient to cover all scheduled benefits for only two years," said Treasury Secretary and Managing Trustee Jacob Lew during a press briefing to discuss the annual report. "As was true last year, beginning in 2016, projected tax income will be sufficient to finance about 80% of scheduled benefits. Legislation will be needed to avoid disruptive reductions in benefit payments to this vulnerable population."
While the projections in this year's reports for Social Security are essentially the same as last year, the projections for Medicare have shown some improvement.
According to the report, the Medicare Hospital Insurance Trust Fund will have sufficient funds to cover its obligations until 2030, four years later than was projected last year, and 13 years later than was projected in the last report issued prior to passage of the Affordable Care Act.
"As today's reports make absolutely clear, Social Security and Medicare are fundamentally secure, and they will remain fundamentally secure in the years ahead," Lew said. "The reports also remind us of something we all understand: we must reform these programs if we want to keep them sound for future generations."
Social Security
"The long-term looks very similar to last year, but the short term picture has grown more urgent." In public trustee Charles Blahous' statements on Social Security during the public hearing, he said,
In the 2014 annual report to Congress, the Trustees reported that the combined trust fund reserves are still growing and will continue to grow through 2019. Beginning with 2020, though, the cost of the program is projected to exceed income. And, as projected, when the combined trust fund reserves become depleted in 2033, there will be sufficient income coming in to pay 77% of scheduled benefits. Once exhausted, the report stated, the annual revenues from the dedicated payroll tax will be sufficient to fund three-quarters of scheduled benefits through 2088.
Program costs are projected to exceed noninterest income throughout the remainder of the 75-year period, as this year's report projected the actuarial deficit over that time to be 2.88% of taxable payroll, 0.16 percentage point larger than in last year's report.
Current projections in this year's report show that the "annual cost of Social Security benefits expressed as a share of workers' taxable earnings will grow rapidly from 11.3% in 2007, the last prerecession year, to roughly 17.1% in 2037, and will then decline slightly before slowly increasing after 2050."
According to this year's Medicare report, after the projected depletion date of the Medicare Hospital Insurance (HI) Trust Fund in 2030, the projected portion of scheduled benefits that can be financed with dedicated revenues is 85% in 2030 and declines slowly to about 75% in 2050 and beyond. (The HI Trust Fund covers hospital, nursing, home health and hospice care under Medicare Part A).
Also improved from last year's report, the 75-year actuarial deficit in the HI Trust Fund is projected at 0.87% of taxable payroll, down from 1.11% in the previous year. According to the report, "this improved outlook for HI is primarily due to lower than expected spending in 2013 for most HI service categories, which reduced the base period expenditure level and contributed to the Trustees' decision to lower projected near-term spending growth."
Medicare spending per beneficiary has grown slowly over the past few years and is projected to continue to grow slowly,contributing to the improved outlook.
"The outlook for Medicare has consistently improved since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, and this year, the Trustees have reduced the projections for near-term spending growth," Lew said during his statement.
As stated in the report, per capita Medicare spending growth has averaged 0.8% annually for the past four years, which is much slower than the average 3.1% annual increase in per capita GDP and national health expenditures over the same period.
The report also states that both supplementary medical insurance (Part B), which pays doctors' bills and other outpatient expenses, and prescription drug coverage (Part D) are "projected to remain adequately financed into the indefinite future because current law automatically provides financing each year to meet the next year's expected costs."
The Board of Trustees comprises six members. Four serve by virtue of their positions with the federal government: Jacob J. Lew, Secretary of the Treasury and Managing Trustee; Carolyn W. Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social Security; Sylvia M. Burwell, Secretary of Health and Human Services; and Thomas E. Perez, Secretary of Labor. The two public trustees are Charles P. Blahous III and Robert D. Reischauer.

Monsters of the Midway
Cookie Monster

I nodded with sympathy while they shared with me the various monsters that they check for under their beds every night. Lucky for me these are the same monsters that I simply do not fear, as my giant sense of self-worth banishes them to their dark dwelling places wherever I go.
"Wait....Monsters of the Midway? What the hell are these?" I asked. "Horned dragons? Soul-sucking demons? Skunk apes?" My friends shuddered as I rambled off the beasts that so often made them cower in fear.
Their only stammering answer to my question, "Well...they're blue...they're ugly as hell..."
This didn't really help me understand their fear much, so I decided to do a little research. The only monster I could find that fit that description:
Ummm....my only conclusion from this, Packer fans, is you do not have to be scared of any blue monsters claiming to be "Monsters of the Midway".

Gruezi, salut, and buongiorno and welcome to our expat community based in Bern! InterNations is a forum and community that was developed to help expats around the globe to meet friendly and helpful people in the same situation as themselves. Although Switzerland is a beautiful place and Bern is a lively cosmopolitan city, Swiss community life can be a little bit forbidding to outsiders, so it's important to make contacts. Previous questions which have come up in our community have included things such as, "how do you find a good hospital without paying the Earth?" and "how do I register to pay my taxes?". Our community includes old hands who know all the local secrets, as well as newcomers who are starting on the same journey as you might be yourself. There's so much to learn about this beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site and modern commercial city.
With InterNations, you never stand alone. Whether you move to another city or go on a business trip somewhere — our communities are there to make you feel at home wherever you are in the world.

Starting a new expat posting can often feel like being thrown into a bear pit, but Bern has an actual real life bear pit! The historic Baerengraben, where the city's emblematic animals were kept, is empty now, but the famous Bears of Bern are still there, in a humane enclosure nearby. This is only one of the ways that the city keeps its old traditions alive, despite its modern economy, now that the old craft of the watchmakers of the Bernese Seeland has developed into a variety of precision engineering industries.
InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities across the globe. Get to know fellow internationals in your city, before you're moving, or when traveling somewhere and never feel like a stranger.

Good news for slackers: Evidence suggests that playing March Madness at work might actually improve productivity. And two new surveys show employer antipathy to office fun-and-games is mellowing.
One survey, released earlier this month by online staffing service OfficeTeam, finds managers' attitudes toward their employees' playing March Madness (the NCAA's basketball tournament) have changed dramatically: In 2010, 22 percent of executives said they viewed March Madness activities, including watching games and betting, as having an adverse effect on employee output.
Now, however, only 9 percent retain that same negative view. Seventy-five percent think playing March Madness at work has no impact on productivity; and 16 percent call its impact either "somewhat positive" or "very positive."
Robert Hosking, executive director of Menlo, Calif.-based OfficeTeam, said he thinks one explanation might be the strengthening economy. In 2010, he speculates, employers were having to find ways to do more with less.
"Taking time away from work has more impact," he said, "when you're stretched thin."
Now, having weathered the downturn, they might be less worried about productivity.
He offered a second explanation: Fewer employees now work a standard 9-to-5 day. The line between office and home has become blurred, he says, with more workers opting to finish tasks at home that they had left undone at the office, sometimes because they used office time for personal recreation.
"Absolutely, they are making up time at home," Hosking said. "There's much more flexibility today than there was a few years ago. Your job still needs to get done. But if you come in early or work at home, employers are OK with that."
What's necessary, he says, is that employers be clear what rules apply to a diversion such as March Madness. OfficeTeam suggests five rules, including requiring employees to request time off in advance to watch the playoffs.
A second survey, this one done by global outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas of Chicago, estimates that nearly one-third of all U.S. employees spend three hours or more watching March Madness hoops during the workday. During the first two days of the tourney, it finds, goofing off amounts to at least $134 million worth of work not performed.
CEO John Challenger says the cost doesn't show up on employers' bottom line. Like Hosking, he speculates that employees are doing the work, they're just not doing it in the office.
"In the end, March Madness will have little if any effect on employers," Challenger said.
It won't register even as "a blip" in the overall economy. "Sequestration is going to have a far bigger impact," he added.
Not all managers are comfortable with employees' playing games, Challenger notes. "They see somebody at a desk who's looking at a game," he said. "They think they're losing control of that person; that a product is leaking away."
And, he admits, that might be true in some cases. "Certain people are less responsible," he said. "Work gets shirked."
What happens to such people? "They get fired," he added.
A sports junkie who's not getting any work done, whose "rotten behavior" has become a bad influence on co-workers might find himself asked "to adapt his behavior," Challenger said.
1SaleADay, a Miami deal-a-day company that sells (among other things) watches, jewelry and electronics, permits Madness, but only in moderation. Eli Federman, senior vice president, says he got fed up some time ago with what the calls his employees' "frolicking outside the work context."
He stopped that by replacing office access to Facebook with access to an in-house platform called Yammer, which permits interaction only with other company employees.
Federman's employees can talk about March Madness during the workday, and he encourages them do so, as a way to build camaraderie and boost morale. "When they're excited, they work better," he says.
But they cannot play March Madness in the office. He views it, because of its sports-focus and finite duration, as less pernicious than social media, which he calls "a vortex of social mayhem" designed to seduce the idle.
Tom Lutz, author of "Doing Nothing: A History of Loafers, Loungers, Slackers and Bums in America," sees two truths about March Madness: Everybody slacks off from time to time, and slacking off may make us more productive:
"All of us find ways to slack off," Lutz told ABC News. "Right now, I am talking to a reporter about March Madness, instead of taking care of things I should have done weeks ago."
Communal forms of slacking -- water-cooler chats are the classic example, he says, although they probably have been replaced by texting -- aren't just important for morale, Lutz says.
Studies show them to be important for innovation and productivity, as well. "March Madness brackets falls into this category," he said.
Very few people, Lutz says, can sustain peak productivity throughout an eight-hour work day. Nor is that a problem, because lost time can be a potent motivator. Nothing so promotes efficiency or concentrates the mind than the realization that you're about to miss a deadline.
For that reason, he said, "Lost time is very rarely lost."
No matter how complex our cultural play or gaming might become, he says ("March Madness can get into some very high-order statistical analysis"), nothing will ever incinerate as many billable hours as good-old daydreaming. "It can happen mid-sentence, it can happen as we open a file, and it is undetectable by any monitoring device," he said.
Compared to time spent daydreaming, time spent on March Madness is "a drop in the bucket." And, in his view, the Madness promotes morale.
It's "a great way to feel part of a group that is on a shared mission," Lutz said, "rather than fantasizing about never having to see any of these people again as long as we live."

TootnTinkle specialise in creating reward charts for children aged 2 – 7 years old. They focus on life skills like toilet training / healthy eating / safe bathing… And now I need some help to create a reward chart for children to clean their teeth!
We have a mocked up version to use as a guide, however we need some creative minds to make this as fun & rewarding as our existing TootnTinkle products.
TootnTinkle - Adventures at Bathtime
This reward chart is aimed at children from 3 – 7. For anyone with children you know how challenging it can be not only to get children to clean their teeth, but to make sure they do it correctly and at the right times of day.
TootnTinkle has won awards all over the world for their toilet training products (http://www.tootntinkle.com) and now we want to extend our range to help & reward children to clean their teeth. We want to create a reward chart with the following features:
I can send you logo's, existing charts, mock ups. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com
- A simple chart for children to mark off when they clean their teeth, with coloums the morning and night and each day of the week.
- On the chart we will be inserting a digital clock that will count down from 2 minutes. This ensures that children will brush for the recommended length of time. We want this to have a cool 'START' icon. We see this located at the top of the board.
- At the bottom of the chart we need an area to put the toothbrush (could be a hook on the board or a cup)
- Insert the weekly cleaning matrix we have created (I can email you mock-ups)
- It will be a vertical board and it needs to be designed within (30cm X 13cm)
- It would be great to have Toot & Tinkle feature, or if your clever enough create two new characters (Use the same drawings, different colours)
- Screen for digital timer (just draw where you would put this)
- Some where to store the tooth brush
I want original designs; please don't copy someone else's…

DENVER, Feb. 26 (UPI) -- Wilson Chandler, subbing for the injured Danilo Gallinari, scored 23 points Monday, sparking Denver to a 119-108 overtime win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Ty Lawson nearly matched Chandler with 22 points and added eight assists as the Nuggets logged their third win in four games.
Kobe Bryant filled the stat sheet with 29 points, nine assists and six boards, but the Lakers still saw their three-game winning streak broken.
Dwight Howard missed 11 of his 14 free throws for Los Angeles, taking the luster off his 15 points and 14 rebounds.

Germany's Flüggen and Fuchs upset hosts to play top-seeded Latvians in CEV beach volleyball championship
Their victory is a very remarkable result taking into account that they just teamed up before the start of the tournament after Flüggen's regular partner, Sebastian Dollinger, got injured. Fuchs, on the other hand, is not a real newcomer at this level and last year even briefly played with London 2012 Olympic champion Julius Brink on the World Tour.
On Friday afternoon, Flüggen and Fuchs upset the local crowd as they edged Andrea Tomatis and Alex Ranghieri 2-0 (30-28, 21-18) to play now top-seeded Janis Smedins and Aleksandrs Samoilovs of Latvia in the quarterfinal. Flüggen and Fuchs found a way to cope with the strong wind that breezed almost all-day long and even warded off a few set balls for their opponents in the opening set.
The first stage of their match with Tomatis and Ranghieri turned into the longest set so far in the tournament, ending at 30-28. The score was tight all the way through also in the second set but Flüggen and Fuchs got a narrow margin while approaching the final stretch and pulled out another straight-set victory to follow up on their 2-0 win over Sébastien Chevallier and Alexei Prawdzic of Switzerland.
"We kept cool also after a very close and much contested first set," said Flüggen, who delighted the audience with his spectacular defence actions. "We executed our game plan and played exactly the way we wanted."
The second round of the elimination phase did also put an end to the campaign of 2013 world champions Alexander Brouwer and Robert Meeuwsen of the Netherlands. Meeuwsen had just returned to the sand after spending six weeks to nurse an injury, and the "Oranjes" could not stand the very tough opposition brought by Austrian pair Clemens Doppler and Alexander Horst 2-1 (21-17, 17-21, 15-13).
"The preparation for this tournament was not ideal but we still hoped to get some good result here,"Brouwer said. "We are disappointed with losing this match, especially since we were leading 7-3 in the tie-break. We played better than we did last week in Baden and we look forward to the next tournaments."
The Netherlands still have one team in the loop after Jon Stiekema and Christiaan Varenhorst beat Tobias Winter and Lorenz Petutschnig of Austria in only 29 minutes 2-0 (21-13, 21-11) to move on to the round of the top 8.
Top-seeded Aleksandrs Samoilovs and Janis Smedins of Latvia showed a very strong performance, especially in the first set of their match with Russian team of Konstantin Semenov and Viacheslav Krasilnikov 2-0 (21-12, 23-21), thereby re-asserting their status as the hottest contenders for the fictional title of "kings of the beach".
Last year's bronze medallists Grzegorz Fijalek and Mariusz Prudel of Poland also continued their triumphal march in the tournament - the winners of the Baden Masters shut out Swiss pair Philip Gabathuler and Mirco Gerson 2-0 (21-10, 21-14) to stay in contention for a spot in the semifinals coming up on Sunday.
Italy's Paolo Nicolai and Daniele Lupo – the other main contenders for the gold medal – easily disposed of their countrymen Matteo Cecchini and Matteo Martino in straight sets (21-16, 22-20) and are the only team from the host country still alive in the competition.
Reigning European champions Pablo Herrera and Adrian Gavira look determined to retain the title they won last year in Klagenfurt and on Friday made the quarterfinals after besting Finn Dittelbach and Eric Koreng of Germany 2-0 (21-18, 21-10).
Germany's hierarchy was turned upside down on Friday when Alexander Walkenhorst and Stefan Wundscheif beat the bronze medallists from last year's World Championship, Kay Matysik and Jonathan Erdmann in straight sets (21-19, 21-15) to also make the quarterfinals.
"It was not easy to cope with these windy conditions and we found the best way to adjust to that," Windscheif said. "Our opponent's main strength is the stability and consistency in the way they play, but this does not work in such conditions like those we had today, where you have to improvise. So we found the best way to cope with that and this way we eventually won the match."
The quarterfinal competition will resume on Saturday.

TROY, N.Y. – With a number of top performers limited by injuries or other factors, the MIT men's track and field team battled to a hard-fought runner-up finish at the Engineer's Cup meet on Saturday. Tech finished behind host RPI with 127 team points and ahead of third-place WPI.
Sophomore Tyler Singer-Clark (Falmouth, Mass.) took first in the 200 meters and narrowly missed a second win in the 100m. Singer-Clark came through in 22.62 seconds to win the 200 but was beaten out by just two one-hundredths of a second in the 100 meters (11.45 seconds).
Freshman Sam Parker (Menlo Park, Calif.) led a sweep of the top three for Tech in the 800, winning with a time of 1:57.52. Juniors Gilbert O'Neil (Norton, Mass.) and David Way (Elmhurst, Ill.) backed up Parker's win with second and third-place finishes in 2:00.36 and 2:00.69, respectively.
Senior Kyle Hannon (Park Ridge, Ill.) also led the way to a one-two-three finish for the Engineers in the 1500 meters. Hannon (4:07.46) was followed across the finish by senior Stephen Serene (Washington, D.C.) and sophomore Justin Bullock (Detroit, Mich.).
Freshman Benji Xie (El Dorado Hills, Calif.) was a winner in the 5000 meters with a time of 15:22.07. Xie was followed by teammate Roy Wedge (Lawrence, Kan.) in second at 15:30.74.
Senior Chinedum Umachi (Detroit, Mich.) was the lone first-place performer for the Engineers in the field events. Umachi won the hammer throw with a toss of 164-05 feet. Junior Yida Gao (Marietta, Ga.) took third in the pole vault, clearing the bar at 13-5.25 feet.

Update 2: That was fast. From Radar: "RadarOnline.com has obtained new information that Justice Roberts will NOT resign. The justice will be staying on the bench."
Update: RadarOnline.com has obtained new information that Justice Roberts will NOT resign. The justice will be staying on the bench.
Update: The DrudgeReport says a top court source says:'THIS IS NOT HAPPENING... NEWS TO ME'
Original post: If this is true, "shocked" would seriously understate our surprise.
Radar Online is reporting -- exclusively -- that Chief Justice John Roberts "is seriously considering stepping down for personal reasons."
Roberts is conservative, has only been on the High Court bench since 2005 and is only 55. So leaving the Supreme Court to allow Barack Obama to nominate the next Chief Justice and swing the court back (if you include Kennedy) to a liberal majority would be basically unheard of.
We'll certainly keep an eye on this one.
Radar's story is here, but they don't have a lot of detail, and it doesn't cite a source other than noting it has "learned exclusively."

Would you take your Hyundai Santa Fe deep into the dunes of Glamis? Of course not. Would you take your old Porsche 911 there either? This guy did.
Sure, in the video the Porker still gets stuck despite having gained some badass sand paddle tires at the rear and razors at the front since its last outing at Ocotillo Wells, California. But hey, if you're not getting stuck, you're not really offroading.
This guy has got to be the coolest 911 drive in the world right now.

Monasteries in Aragón, the experience of tranquillity.

Cloister in Veruela Monastery (Zaragoza)
In the Region of Aragón, in northeastern Spain, there are places where the feeling of calm is palpable and silence becomes the finest company. These are monasteries, built centuries ago in locations that transmit and endless sensation of peace. They were once home to nobles and kings, and also the inspiration for poets and writers. Feel like forgetting the world? Here it is easy.
A peaceful journey where you can discover art, history and nature. Sound good? Then come to the Region of Aragón, in search of its ancient monasteries. There are some twenty monasteries and abbeys you can visit dotted around the Region's three provinces (Huesca, Zaragoza and Teruel). These monuments are built in different styles. Some are still home to religious communities and in others you can even stay the night. The most comfortable way to get to them is by car, as most are located in out-of-the-way places. Nevertheless, the journey is well worthwhile because you will have the chance to discover stunning landscapes, buildings that are real works of art and, above all, plenty of peace and quiet. It is a good idea to pay a visit to the tourist offices in nearby towns first. There they will give you all the necessary information (how to get there, guided tours, accommodation, etc).
Surrounded by calm
A good place to start could be the city of Zaragoza. Just 10 kilometres away you will find the Cartuja de Aula Dei Monastery and its Gothic church, home to seven murals painted by Goya in his youth. Also in the province of Zaragoza you can see Aragón's three Cistercian monasteries: Veruela, 15 kilometres from Tarazona, which is to be turned into a Parador Hotel; Nuestra Señora de Rueda, 74 kilometres from the city of Zaragoza, which has a unique set of lodgings to spend the night; and Piedra Monastery, 15 kilometres from Calatayud, where you will never want to leave when you see its luxurious hotel and wonderful gardens with waterfalls.
Sheltered by nature
In the Teruel area, 61 kilometres from Alcañiz, in the middle of a secluded valley of pine forest, you can stay at the Santa María del Olivar Convent. It was built between the 13th and 17th centuries and offers lodging, campsite, youth hostel and sports facilities. However, it is in the province of Huesca where you will find the largest number of monuments of this type. 20 kilometres from the town of Jaca, you come to the spectacular monastery of San Juan de la Peña, sheltered by huge rocks. Don't miss its Romanesque cloister and the walk to the "Balcony of the Pyrenees", with stunning views of the Pyrenean peaks. You can also stay at the so-called "New Monastery".
There is still much more to see: the Alquézar Collegiate Church, in the Sierra de Guara Mountains; San Pedro el Viejo in the city of Huesca, which has one of the most beautiful Romanesque cloisters anywhere in Spain; Santa María de Sigena, whose exceptional paintings are on display at the Catalonia National Museum of Art; the Nuestra Señora del Pueyo Sanctuary, set on a mountain at 603 metres above sea level, close to Barbastro, where you can also stay the night; the sober grandeur of San Pedro de Siresa, in the Pyrenees…
These places are just a taste of what awaits you. Come to Spain and enjoy peace and tranquillity once again. At the monasteries of Aragón. More information:Monasteries of Aragón

Cars quickly turn into ovens in the summer heat.
Cars quickly turn into ovens in the summer heat.
And with temperatures rising into the 90s this week, it�s crucial that parents keep that in mind, according to Dottie Scher, executive director with Prevent Child Abuse Gaston.
Scher said it�s time to ACT.
ACT is a marketing slogan to remind parents not to leave their children unattended in vehicles.
The philosophy is to avoid injury, create a plan and take action if you see a child unattended in a car.
To get the word out, Scher worked with a local artist to create a card that lists suggestions to help parents avoid dangerous situations for their children.
The organization soon partnered with Safe Kids Gaston County and has already started distributing the cards to local car dealerships and insurance companies.
�We�re hoping that all the dealerships in town will agree to hand these out,� said Scher.
She also plans to stock police departments and restaurants.
It�s all about education, she said.
So far, 1,000 cards have been printed, but Scher is making an order for five times that amount.
The project is funded by Prevent Child Abuse Gaston and is one of many underway, according to Scher.
Upcoming projects include child sex abuse awareness training, a co-sleeping campaign and safety programs focusing on water, guns and seat belts.
A car safety awareness day is in the works. The plan is to make s�mores on the dashboard of a car to demonstrate how quickly a car can heat up, said Scher.
The danger is more prevalent than you might think.
Scher remembers a day when she and a volunteer were putting fliers on windshields at the Gaston County Department of Social Services.
Scher said she heard a baby crying and found five children unattended in a van, the infant lying on the front passenger seat.
Scher also recently saw a woman leave her van running with her child inside as she ducked into the post office.
�I did not call the police, but I did confront her,� said Scher. �It happens right here in Gaston County.�
Cards distributed by Prevent Child Abuse Gaston urge parents to remember to ACT:
Avoid heatstroke-related injury and death by:
� Never leaving your child alone in the car, even for a minute.
� Consistently locking unattended vehicle doors and trunks.
Createreminders and habits that give you and your child�s caregiver a safety net:
� Establish a peace-of-mind plan. When you drop off your child, make a habit of calling or texting all other caregivers, so all of you know where your child is at all times.
� Place a purse, briefcase, gym bag, cell phone or an item that is needed at your next stop in a backseat.
� Set the alarm on your cell phone or computer calendar as a reminder to drop your child off at child care.
Takeaction if you see an unattended child in a vehicle:
� Dial 911 immediately and follow the instructions that emergency personnel pro vide � they are trained to determine if a child is in danger.

Dhubri District At a Glance
|| The Gateway of Western Assam ||
Dhubri District - the gateway of western Assam happened to be in the past a meeting place of different racial groups which mingled together and formed a unique Cultural Heritage and Historical Background. The growth of blended culture in this region particularly in case of Language, Art and Religion is due to continuous process of assimilation of various races,scaste & creed of local people,invaders & migrated people.Dhubri District is bounded both by inter-state and international border i.e. West Bengal and Bangladesh in the west, Goalpara and Bogaigoan district of Assam and Garo Hills district of Meghalaya in the east, Kokrajhar district in the north, Bangladesh and state of Meghalaya in the south.Covering an area of 2,838 Sq. Kms. including forests, riverines, hills etc. the district has become the most densely populated district in India with a density of 584 persons per Sq. Km.(As per 2001 census).
Dhubri district is primarily dependent on agriculture and forest products. Main source of income is paddy with surplus production than its requirment Jute and mustered seed occupy the major share of cash crops. From forest mainly timber and bamboo add to the income though boulder and sand also available. Fish, milk, meat and egg have small contribution to the economy. Land revenue collection is very small in amount whereas excise duty occupies a lion's share of the Govt. exchequre.

Cell Counting: Label-Free
Cell counting is used as a widespread measurement in tissue culture to assess cell density for cell-based assays, as a readout in proliferation, viability and toxicity assays, and to normalize cell-based assay results for differences in cell density.
Most cell counting methods require the presence of a fluorescent nuclear label. Intercalating nuclear stains can alter the native cell properties and limit experiment duration due to cytotoxic effects. An alternative approach requires the difficult and costly endeavor of establishing stable cell lines expressing a fluorescent nuclear marker.
Given these limitations, label-free direct cell counting has considerable advantages over methods that require fluorescent labels. The High Contrast (HC) Cell Counting application uses modified brightfield imaging to generate a bright point of light for each cell that is easily identified and counted by Gen5™ software without the use of labels.

Q&A With Junior Tennis Standout Marsha Malinow
Related Links
Now in the final week of the 2006 regular season, with the NCAA Division II Playoffs fast-approaching, the UC
Q-What's changed most about your game since coming to UCSD?
MALINOW—I've become a lot more consistent and focused. I'm not trying to just kill the ball with every swing. I work the points better with a variety of shots.
A lot of it is mental. I've actually worked with a sports psychiatrist to relax more and that's helped me. It's allowed me to balance the combination of being pumped up and calm.
I've always been an aggressive player. I grew up playing a lot on clay so I have been primarily a baseline player. The coaches have pushed me to come in more and now I'm finishing off points at the net.
Q-Can you tell us more about the mental side of your game?
MALINOW—I began playing tennis at five and I've always stayed in good shape so the physical part of the game was never a problem. Stroke-wise, my game has always been OK. The mental toughness aspect sometimes deserted me. I didn't always have the focus, consistency or confidence you need to win tight matches.
After working on that part of the sport, I've found that I don't let things distract me as much now. I've used mental imagery and relaxation techniques and started believing more in my game. I'm better able to balance "under confidence" and "over confidence."
I stay neutral where in the past I might have let things get to me.
Q-What are the defining characteristics of your game?
MALINOW—I've always had a big serve and big forehand. I try to play a consistent backhand, wait for a forehand opportunity and then rip it.
As I said, I've varied my game since coming the UCSD and know it's a key to being successful but I still like to attack and be aggressive.
I try to set up points with my serve and the forehand down the line is definitely my favorite shot.
Q-You've traveled quite a bit. What's been your path to UCSD?
MALINOW—Well, my parents are from
We then moved to
Q-Is there any added pressure playing in the No. 1 singles position?
MALINOW—Last year, I felt so much pressure. Throughout the season, I was pretty stressed out because I hadn't had any match play my first year and didn't have that foundation of experience to draw on. You feel responsible to the rest of the team. I let it get to my head and really didn't enjoy the game as much as you should.
This year has been much more relaxed and the results reflect that. My doubles game has improved tremendously. I'm still a little shaky but I love my partner and we work well together. Overall, for me there's been a huge difference from last year to this.
Q-Besides tennis, what are some important aspects of your college life?
MALINOW—I'm a founder and secretary of the Brazil Club on campus and a connection leader at Extension, teaching English to international students.
I'm also a member of the Hillel Club and Israel Alliance. I'm planning to go to
I work as a tennis instructor at the Pacific Athletic Club and do some tutoring and babysitting on the side.
Q-What types of things do you like to do in your free time?
MALINOW—I love going to the beach, particularly
Q-Speaking of travel, what are some "new" destinations you'd like to visit?
MALINOW—I've never been to
I'd also like to go to
Q-You're fluent in several languages. Has that been a product of your travels?
MALINOW—I'm fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese and German in that order. Honestly, I've known these four languages since I was eight or nine. English, Spanish and Portuguese were just part of growing up in our house. I studied German from fourth through 10th grade. My grandmother is Austrian and she spoke German with my mother and they kind of pushed me into it.
I'd really like to learn Italian and French—and maybe Hebrew. But it gets tougher as I get older.
Q-What role has your family played in your tennis career?
MALINOW—Oh gosh, a major role. My mom always picked me up from school and drove me to lessons, clinics and practice—pretty much everyday. My mom and dad never pushed me. They were always perfect in their support of my tennis.
My dad was a major athlete. He was a big squash player in
Q-What accomplishments are you most proud of, on and off the tennis court?
MALINOW—One tennis memory that still stands out was my freshman year at Coral Reef High School in
Off the court, I think it would be making the Headmaster's List my junior year of high school in
Q-What differentiates the UCSD tennis team from other teams you've been part of?
MALINOW—We get along so well. We're very close, like a big family. This year's team is particularly awesome. It's also very organized and Liz has developed good team chemistry. We all spend time together outside of practice.
Q-What one word would you use to describe each of the other five players in the UCSD singles lineup?
MALINOW—Katie McKee is super-consistent. For Ina I would say "strong." I have two words for Kristin Bronowicki—positive and well-rounded. Justine Fonte is "
Q-How important is the coaching staff in an individualized sport like tennis?
MALINOW—Extremely important. Liz is really organized, develops team camaraderie and really pulls all the pieces together. Technically, she tends to tinker with your game and point out weaknesses for you to work on.
Timmer (Willing), our assistant coach, is crucial. He works on the technical part of the game, strategies and conditioning.
Q-The team won recently won its third straight conference title. How did that feel and how far can the team go in the NCAA Playoffs?
MALINOW—Winning the CCAA again was a big deal and everyone is happy about that but Cal Poly Pomona was our toughest match and it was fairly easy. Right now we just want to beat Hawaii-Hilo. We need to come out strong there and get to nationals.
Just to make it to

Hi mswood! I'm not Chateau but that looks like Airwise to me...That site is neat cause you can do already passed dates...
Not exactly sure why they gave up on the cookies cause I wasn't 'statitoned' there. I personally don't like those cookies cause they make your mouth go dry pretty quickly.. but I'm guessing there's just to many cookies for them to eat? I don't know. but it would be kinda awesome to see more hurling
Thanks peach! some of us tried to trail them to the pitstop, but the pitstop was kinda off limits to the public at the time.. so we just did the snooping around where people can still roam around freely.No problem puddin
Thanks mswood.Being huge TAR fans, it totally killed us not to share these with other fans. The only reason why I didn't want to post this much much earlier was that I would love to give some room and not totally suck all the fun out of speculating.. cause I think half the fun of spoiling is the speculation itself. But you guys can still continue to speculate their remaining leg in Poland though.. and if what I posted will be what we'll see on Sunday.
Somebody better check to see if Michael has died.
