I think I understand this (and the others which say the same thing). But how can you know a slope from a point? I mean, don't you need two points to make a slope?You don't get the slope from a point; you get the slope from a line.
If you think of the curve as a roller coaster, and yourself as a passenger in a car, and you're always looking straight forward (relative to the car), the tangent at any point is the direction you're looking in.Maybe this would have been more clearly expressed as:

I'm delighted to hear that the activist comedian Mark Thomas has agreed to speak at the National Gathering of the Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT), which will take place in London on 6 November.
The news of a £700 million arms deal with India this week is a reminder that CAAT's work is as important as ever. On his trip to India, David Cameron was accompanied by leading British arms dealers including the Chairman of BAE Systems, Dick Olver.
BAE have so much influence within the UK government that former Foreign Secretary Robin Cook wrote in his diaries that BAE's chairman had "the keys to the garden door at Number Ten". No wonder that multimillion pound subsidies to the arms industry are continuing while we are being told to accept massive cuts in almost every other area.
The UK is the world's second largest arms exporter. The huge influence of arms companies within government must be broken if we are to achieve any significant reduction in the arms trade.
I had the privilege to be on the CAAT staff from 2006-2009, and continue to serve on its Steering Committee. So I admit that I'm not unbiased. I continue to be so passionate about CAAT not only because of the importance of tackling the arms industry, but also because of the way CAAT works. I have been inspired by a grassroots organisation that chooses its methods carefully while sticking to its principles. CAAT proves that radicalism and effectiveness are not alternatives.
I'm sure Mark Thomas will bring both inspiration and humour to the struggle against the arms trade when he speaks at CAAT National Gathering. You can book your place at http://www.caat.org.uk/events/nationalgathering [1].

Standard 11 - Ex Parte Communications
by Judge Gregory K. Orme
Editors' Note: A member of the Supreme Court's Advisory Committee on Professionalism will discuss one of the new Standards of Professionalism and Civility with each issue of the Bar Journal. The opinions expressed are those of the member and not necessarily those of the Advisory Committee.
"Lawyers shall avoid impermissible ex parte communications." There's nothing novel about this idea: Don't talk to a judge (or other adjudicator) about a case unless opposing counsel is in on the conversation. The same precept holds for conversations with the judge's law clerk or other members of the judge's staff. There are a few exceptions, mostly having to do with procedural things, like scheduling, but always err on the side of avoiding one-sided conversations about cases.
If you bump into a judge at a baseball game, it's OK to talk to him about the disappointing play of the shortstop, the weather, or how much you miss the old Chicago Dog concession. If you believe he would be an asset to that bench, it's OK to encourage the judge to apply for the pending vacancy on the Court of Appeals. It's not OK to ask the judge if he has read your memo in support of a motion for summary judgment - much less if he had any questions that you might be able to answer. You must hurry back to your seat without answering if the judge up and asks you such a question on his own.
If the judge's clerk calls to see if you are available to come for a hearing a half hour early, you are free to respond. If her secretary calls to check the spelling of a witness's name, the same is true. If the clerk calls to pass along some suggestions the judge has for the findings of fact you are working on, you need to insist that opposing counsel be joined in the conversation before it proceeds. If the clerk says the judge intended the input to be for "your ears only," you need to decline the proffered help and contact Colin Winchester, executive director of the Judicial Conduct Commission.
You may call a judge's law clerk to see if the judge is planning to attend a section meeting or is available for a speaking engagement. You may not call after oral argument to explain, "just between us chickens," that opposing counsel incorrectly represented that laches had been argued below when a review of the transcript makes clear it was only waiver.
This standard does not add some new burden to the profession. Lawyers are already subject to Rule 3.5(c) of the Rules of Professional Conduct, which directs lawyers not to "communicate, or cause another to communicate, as to the merits of the cause with a judge or other official before whom a matter is pending." Judges are subject to this apparently more expansive prohibition in Canon 3(B)(7) of the Code of Judicial Conduct: "Except as authorized by law, a judge shall neither initiate nor consider, and shall discourage, ex parte or other communications concerning a pending or impending proceeding."
What, then, does Standard 11 add to a lawyer's responsibility? Actually, nothing. "[I]mpermissible ex parte communications" are precisely those proscribed by the ethical requirements just mentioned. So why the redundancy of Standard 11? Just a good reminder? Perhaps, but on that rationale there are any number of ethical precepts that might have been repeated in the Standards of Professionalism and Civility.
The fact of the matter is that the Supreme Court's Advisory Committee on Professionalism had endeavored to expand just slightly the ex parte realm to be avoided by conscientious attorneys. Its recommended Standards included this version of Standard 11: "Lawyers shall avoid impermissible ex parte communications on any substantive matter and on any matter that could reasonably be perceived as a substantive matter." In its order adopting the Standards of Professionalism and Civility recommended by the committee, the Supreme Court adopted, verbatim, the language of the other nineteen proposed standards. Only Standard 11 was modified. The text after the word "communications" was deleted, leaving Standard 11 in its present form: "Lawyers shall avoid impermissible ex parte communications."
My advice is to stay clear of anything that might be an impermissible ex parte communication. Err on the side of avoidance. Lawyers, don't spend a lot of mental energy trying to figure out if something deals with "the merits of the cause." Judges, don't spend a lot of time figuring out where to draw the line between an "impending proceeding" and a possible proceeding that is not quite that immediately imminent. The fact is, a lawyer and a judge cannot get in trouble for a one-on-one conversation they never had.

Hog Wild is a 1930 sound film starring Laurel and Hardy and directed by James Parrott.
Ollie wants to join Stan for an afternoon of fun, but his wife has other ideas. She demands he install the radio antenna atop their roof, a job he has been neglecting for several weeks. Soon, Stan stops by to "help" his friend. After destroying the Hardys' chimney and falling from the roof several times, they perch a ladder in the back seat of Stan's car. The car shifts into gear, and speeds uncontrollably through city with Ollie still atop the ladder.
The wife catches up to them on foot,after the car is finally stopped, Hardy having been tossed into the street with the ladder . The three attempt to return home while Laurel tries all kinds of noisy things to get the car restarted,including blowing the horn twice. This delay allows the car to be mangled between two trolley cars and the trio are on their way home in a mishapen car.

Production notes[edit]
Like other Laurel and Hardy films of this period, Hog Wild was refilmed in both Spanish and French versions in which Laurel and Hardy spoke phonetically the respective languages. The French version was titled Pele Mele; the Spanish version Radio Mania. In the UK, the film was retitled Aerial Antics, as Hog Wild was an American idiomatic expression.[1] The film is the first to feature background music throughout the film. The music scoring is experimental and one of the first to use pieces written by Leroy Shield. Our Gang was also beginning to use background music but opted to use orchestral scorings initially and began mixing a couple Leroy Shield tunes on the last episode of the 1929-30 season.

What is breast cancer?
Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that starts in the cells of the breast.
A malignant tumor is a group of cancer cells that can grow into (invade)
surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to distant areas of the body.
The disease occurs almost entirely in women, but men can get it, too

s of February 2008, the Pink SOCS Foundation Inc.
officially became a 501(c)(3) public charity, but we started
raising money for cancer several years earlier. In 2005, a
small group of us raised our first dollars as part of the Avon
Walk for Breast Cancer. It began as an attempt to actively
fight back. At that point, 4 of our 9 sisters had already
received a cancer diagnosis. Our family is large, with 34
grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren, and ever
expanding. To date, we have experienced the despair of
relapse - more than once, as well as the sadness of loss
when our father and sisters succumbed to the disease.
hroughout our journey, we've had the good fortune to be
able to count on our family for support, but we also had the
sad realization that cancer is a significant financial burden –
even for those of us that are insured. It is our hope that the
Pink SOCS Foundation Inc. will be able to assist those
families who are in need of financial support as a result of
any type of cancer, because we know first hand that
diagnosis is stressful enough, without the added concern of
monetary resources.
ur mission is to improve the lives of families in our
communities that have been affected by breast cancer and
also all other forms of cancer. We raise money by holding
charity functions, and directly donating these funds to
families in need that have been affected by cancer.
Donations are also given as scholarships to children who
have family members affected by cancer."

Newt Gingrich says that these attacks on our embassies and consulates aren't just coincidental, but rather there are "substantial factions" who look for opportunities to attack America:
"There's a substantial faction, particularly in Benghazi, which was sending people to Iraq to kill Americans. There's a substantial faction in Egypt which wants to defeat the United States and destroy Israel. That faction looks for opportunities to do things to hurt the United States and yesterday was the example of an attack that's part of a very long war that we're going to be at for a very long time."
Exactly. This isn't about a movie about Muhammad. This is about people who hate America who will use anything as a foil to do us harm.
Gingrich also defends Romney's statement yesterday, which is clearly coming under false attacks by the Obama campaign, and says that we must be standing up for and defending freedom against these attacks.

With the NHL Trade Deadline only weeks away, teams are making decisions on whether to buy or sell and deciding which players can make the biggest difference or hold the greatest value.
Check out today's trade rumours and speculation from around the NHL beat. And follow TSN.ca each day until Deadline Day for all the updates.
Broadway Bound?
Less than a full season after returning to Edmonton, there's the possibility that Ryan Smyth could be leaving again, this time to New York. Larry Brooks of the New York Post reports that Smyth would consider waiving his no-move clause to join the Rangers, according to a source.
The possible move would reunite Smyth with GM Glen Sather, who drafted him back in 1994.
Staying in Edmonton, after Sam Gagner's eight-point night, TSN Insider Darren Dreger tweeted that the Oilers' asking price for the young forward likely went up.
Make or Break Stretch
Before losing to the Jets in overtime Thursday night, the Tampa Bay Lightning had pulled off five straight wins. With their recent strong play, the Lightning have possibly moved into the playoff hunt. Damian Cristodero of the Tampa Bay Times reports GM Steve Yzerman could determine whether he'll be a buyer or seller at the Trade Deadline based on how his team plays in the next five games or so.
Cristodero also reports D Pavel Kubina and LW Ryan Malone, both of whom have been rumoured to be possible trade pieces, haven't been asked to waive their no-trade clauses.
Spending for Scoring
Mac Engel of the Star-Telegram sat down with new Dallas Stars owner Tom Gaglardi to get his thoughts on the team's possible moves approaching the trade deadline. Engel reports Gaglardi knows the Stars need more scoring and he's willing to spend to get it, leaving GM Joe Nieuwendyk with the task of going out and finding it.
Sticking with the Stars, Mike Heika of the Dallas News reports that unless Nieuwendyk gets an offer that blows him away, he could keep D Nicklas Grossman for the rest of the year, and then move his rights in the off-season.
Contract Talks
On pace to put up the best numbers of his career this year, Minnesota Wild centre Kyle Brodziak is in line for a raise come contract negotiation time. Michael Russo of the Star Tribune reports those talks could happen soon. Russo also said it's unlikely that the Wild will move Brodziak before this year's Trade Deadline, but could in the off-season if they decide to shake things up.
Looking Up Front?
While it's been reported the Boston Bruins are likely in the market to rent a veteran defencemen this year, the team could also trade for a veteran forward. Stephen Harris of the Boston Herald reports that with the uncertainty surrounding Nathan Horton's injury, the team could use another forward such as the Coyotes' Ray Whitney or the Hurricanes' Tuomo Ruutu.
Time to Make a Splash?
The San Jose Sharks will once again be in the "buyer" category leading up to the Trade Deadline, and Ray Ratto of CSNBayArea says the team needs to make more of a splash this year to keep up with the teams at the very top of each conference. Ratto examines some of the names that could be on the market for the Sharks to target as well as which players the Sharks could ship out to make those deals happen.

Gibson was surrendered along with his brothers and sisters at 4 weeks of age to DAWG (Detroit Animal Welfare Group) from a home in Detroit who could not afford to care for them properly. Their mother is a purebred German shepherd dog and her family unfortunately refused to have her spayed even when offered free of charge. So the search began for homes for the 6 pups. We found him online along with his siblings and fell in love. He and one of his sisters were brought for the home check and once it was approved Gibson was the one who won our hearts. He was sweet and mild tempered, smart and alert. Once he decided to nap in our kitchen we knew he was the one! We are certain the rest of his family will find good homes and we are so happy to have little Gibson. We have only had him for 3 weeks and he is already grained 3 pounds and has learned his name and basic commands.More pictures and comments
Hello, my name is Ludo and I am a 10-week-old Samoyed living on the beach in Venice, California. I love everyone! Everyone! I spend my days walking on the beach, snuggling and eating. I love eating almost as much as I love you. You can find me walking the crazy boardwalk in Venice with my mom and dad.More pictures and comments
Mattie came to our family a month ago. He actually looks just like his mom and dad. Mattie has an older brother that is also an Australian multi-generational Labradoodle. We are smitten with this breed because of how truly amazing they are and how fast they learn. Oh, and the no shedding is a plus for us too. Each morning we wake up, Mattie surprises us with something new and goofy that emerges in his personality. We just love our little boy who I now refer to as "The Mattster". He's full of so much personality and love. We are both so excited to wake up each morning to start our new day with Mattie Mac.More pictures and comments
Sarge was born the morning we had to put our Puggle down so it was a sign to us that we had to have him. He is the only one in his litter to have come out with the markings like he has. He is a mix which are my favorite. His mother is an Australian Cattle Dog and his father was a mixed sled dog; he was Lab, hound and husky.More pictures and comments
Dixie is a chocolate Labrador retriever whose very best friend is our neighbor's 9 month old black Lab, Molly. Dixie is sweet, playful, and always trying to do her best to earn another treat. She loves the water, rolling in and running in wet grass, and her soccer ball. We are so happy to have her and love watching her learn and grow!More pictures and comments

Here's a lesson that all of us could take: it's the rider not the bike that makes the difference and you can have a blast on a mid-size motorcycle too. To convince you, here's a video where a Kawasaki ZX-R ...400 competes against three other bikes but the weird thing is that the 400cc is far from its place in this pile of cubic centimeters and watts.
Before you watch this video I must remind you that the 400cc has a maximum power output around 57HP while the other three at least three times more.
Vanjey-design visualizes the road version of the RSV 4 in the best way we've seen so far, but the concept is surrounded by mystery so far. It is strongly recommended that you leave your opinion in order to help us to see it unveiled and ready for a test run. Although it is premature to talk about such thing now, you have to admit that it looks inviting.
A few days ago, the new Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 was introduced to the international press for a first ride contact.
This unique, elite bike applies all of Aprilia's vast racing experience to just one mission: pure riding enjoyment. 92 HP and exclusive Tri-Map ride-by-wire technology mean that the lightweight and powerful SMV 750 Dorsoduro can satisfy even the most experienced riders in search of a state-of-the-art bike.
Just like the picture shows, it is not always recommended to go strong before a corner and this rider has learned its lesson in the bad way. This also shows that the protective tire wall is sometimes useless or even worst as it is built for cars, not for the trouble getting two wheels of this crashed racing Aprilia RS 125. Let's just hope that behind those tires there was a soft cushion on which landing in your head would be a bit less painful (like that's a consolation).

For this week's Access Points photo game, I decided to try something a little special. This isn't a photo I shot — it's one dug from the AJC archives. Still, you might recognize this fun thing to do around Atlanta because it's still there.
So, as always, tell me what's in this photo and where in Atlanta you'll find it. Post your ideas in the comments, or on Twitter @insideaccess.
I'll reveal the answer in photos and a story about that fun thing at 4 p.m. tomorrow!

No more 'too big to fail'?
JPMorgan chief jumps to the front of industry resistance against proposals to break up big banks
But any talk about breaking them up? That's where banks draw the line. And a potential new amendment that gives the government "pre-emptive breakup authority" has got the banking industry all riled up, according to The New York Times.
This breakup idea isn't a law yet. Heck, the proposal hasn't even been fully written. But that hasn't stopped Jamie Dimon, the head of JPMorgan, from coming out swinging Friday with a column in The Washington Post.
The amendment, still in its draft form, would try to keep banks from getting so big that they become too big to fail and need a taxpayer bailout, according to the Times. It is being pushed by Pennsylvania Rep. Paul Kanjorski, a Democrat.
An independent senator from Vermont, Bernard Sanders, is also jumping in with a law forcing the Treasury Department to break up banks that get so big that their failure disrupts the financial system, according to the Times.
"If an institution is too big to fail, it is too big to exist," Sanders said.
Dimon disagrees. He writes that a failing bank should just be allowed to fail with no taxpayer bailouts.
There's nothing wrong with a big bank, Dimon writes. Scale can create value for shareholders, customers and the economy.
Breaking up a bank because it's too big won't prevent the risk to markets, Dimon writes.
"Capping the size of American banks won't eliminate the needs of big businesses," he adds. "It will force them to turn to foreign banks that won't face the same restrictions."
Ooh, snap! Throw in the threat of businesses bringing all their money to foreign banks. Nice one.
Here's what Dimon proposes:
- Federal regulators should "facilitate" failures when they occur.
- A failed bank's shareholders should get nothing.
- Unsecured creditors should be at risk or wiped out.
- Regulators should fire executives and boards and liquidate assets.
- Anyone who brought unnecessary risk to the bank should suffer.
But how to allow a big bank to fail without unleashing a domino effect of chaos throughout the financial system? I don't think Dimon exactly has that solution nailed.
But, writes the Wall Street Journal's Damian Paletta, the column shows that Dimon "has a good political antenna."
That's because the House Financial Services Committee is expected to consider the idea of breaking up the banks soon. The committee's chairman, Barney Frank, says he supports the idea.
At any rate, it's clear we're headed for a showdown soon between the banks and lawmakers. It should be interesting.

January's "fresh start" may be getting stale. Continue to make the most of 2013 by focusing on
five simple steps to reinvigorate your daily routine.
Get Going
Self-help books top the bestseller lists year
in and year out: people love advice on overhauling certain aspects of their
lives. Yet, too many of us dive into a book yet fail to affect real change.
This year, start with manageable change by practicing five simple steps every
day. When your to-do list is miles long, some items never get crossed off. Five
items? Well, that's doable.
Get Up Earlier
Not enough hours in the day to achieve your
goals? Get up earlier each day. Even an extra 15 minutes can make a huge
difference. Use the time to stretch or do simple exercises, to move quickly
through a stack of bills or to write in a journal each morning. As you slowly
start to achieve results, you may be motivated to add even more time to your
morning routine. Carving out sacred space each day to work on yourself is
reenergizing; you will notice all areas of your life benefit.
Get Fit
Your mother was right. Exercise is good for
the body and mind, so work some booty-moving mojo into your daily routine. No
time for the gym? Reinvigorate your fitness routine in as little as 15 minutes.
Health Magazine has a series of 15-minute workouts that
you can mix up weekly, to target different areas of the body. You can even work
fitness into your work routine with five simple
exercises to do at your desk. Yep, you read that right. Push-ups, leg
lifts, simple stretches, even simulated jump roping are all possible, right in
your very own office. What are you waiting for? Time to try those desk chair
Get Financial
Tired of mounting debt and miniscule savings?
Smart finances need to be a daily choice. Commit each day to trimming your
overhead and socking away the savings. Cost-cutting ideas include buying
generic goods and comparison shopping for insurance plans. Other money saving
ideas can be found in 5 Simple Ways to Cut Your
Spending and Still Enjoy Your Life! Tips include canceling
unused subscriptions and limiting window shopping (and its online equivalent,
window surfing) to prevent impulse buys.
Get Happy
Finally, focus on small moments of happiness
each and every day. When you spend time connecting with family or friends, when
you share a smile or a laugh with a colleague or client, when you do a good
deed for a stranger or a close friend, you reap contentment and tremendous
personal satisfaction.
Happy 2013!

Course Numbers:
PSYCH 245: Organizational Psychology
PHIL277: Colloquium on Global Justice
Professor Chandra Mason
Dr. Roderic Owen
Note: students enroll in one course but study and travel together and are enriched by the cross-disciplinary exchange.
PHIL 277: Colloquium on Global Justice (3 s.h.)
This is a study of global justice (including a focus on international humanitarianism ) in a time of rapidly increasing transnational exchange, global interaction, and international conflict. We will critically examine and discuss a variety of issues: global citizenship; equality in international context; world poverty, global benevolence and"charity;" the limitations of traditional sovereignty and cosmopolitanism; and the human capabilities approach. Readings will include essays from such leading contemporary social and political philosophers as Onora O'Neill, Thomas Nagel, Amartya Sen, Jurgen Habermas, Thomas Pogge, John Rawls, Martha Nussbaum, Allen Buchanan and many others. Students will also learn about the history, mission and activities of a diverse range of international organizations with a primary focus on global justice and humanitarian issues, including such groups as the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, the World Health Organization, the World Council of Churches, and a diverse range of UN agencies. Each student will actively lead a discussion using a structured format and give a presentation on one of the sites visited in Europe as well as select a recent scholarly work related to the general theme of global justice and humanitarian outreach and present her written critique to the colloquium at the end of term.
PSYCH 245: Organizational Psychology (3 s.h.)
Students survey topics related to industrial and organizational psychology, including motivation, job satisfaction and values, groups in organizations, decision-making, leadership, job analysis and evaluation, and models and methods of employee selection. The requirements cover theory and conceptual information as well as practical applications. Students will be expected to complete readings on the major principles, theories and concepts in Organizational Psychology and complete short, online quizzes to assess mastery. Building on this foundation, the May term experience itself will focus on diversity, both within international organizations themselves as well as in the people and groups they serve, a challenge that many international humanitarian organizations face. Like students enrolled in PHIL 277/377, students in PSYCH 245 will learn about the history, mission and activities of the selected international organizations that focus on global justice and human rights issues. Required readings addressing diversity issues in organizations will accompany the transformative experiences of learning about organizational practices first-hand by visiting the proposed site.

New foot-and-mouth disease vaccine licensed for use on cattle
|Friday, 08 June 2012 15:24
Developed at DHS's Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC), this is the first licensed FMD vaccine that can be manufactured on the U.S. mainland.
This molecular-based FMD vaccine was developed by scientists with the USDA Agricultural Research Service and DHS at PIADC and is the result of a seven-year collaboration with industry partners GenVec Inc., a biopharmaceutical company based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and Antelope Valley Biologics, a Benchmark Biolabs affiliate based in Lincoln, Nebraska.
"The new molecular vaccine provides important options to FMD control in the United States, including less dependence on foreign sources for vaccine manufacturing and a wider range of tests that can readily distinguish vaccinated animals from those that have been infected with the disease."
"Having this capability is critical to demonstrating freedom of infection and return to trade after a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak."
While this vaccine protects against one strain of FMD, there are seven major serotypes and many sub-types of FMD. Vaccines for other strains of FMD and other transboundary animal diseases of livestock are being developed at PIADC using this and other molecular technologies.

Never before has a video game made my wife and I tell each other "YOU FUCKING SUCK I FUCKING HATE YOU" in such loving and bonding ways.
When word was let loose in 2005 that Stephen Spielberg was going to dive into the video game world, the internet was abuzz with speculation. Slated only for the Wii, there was little info available aside from a few cutesy squarish animals.
While talking with Eric, head geek here at BGH this weekend I came to realize I may be worse off than I thought as far as film nerdiness goes.
In the spirit of Schnaars and his box, here's some numbers to crunch.
From January 1st to May 19th, I have officially watched 113 movies to date this year.
Of these, 67 were horror movies; 46 Were not.
May has been the slowest month of the year with 11 movies watched.
I'm an unabashed fan of many nerdy things, including "Star Wars". The thing is, there's always been a line I won't cross. Thankfully for us internet rubberneckers, there are plenty out there that will!
Hence the new book, The Force in the Flesh Star Wars Inspired Body Art by Shane Turgeon.
This is what I do This is what I do This is what I do I sit on you.
Just a reminder that Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! Season 1's out! Insomniacs rejoice!
Speed hit the wall hard this weekend box office wise. Regardless, the daughter and I went and checked out Speed Racer today and I freaking loved it. It's a little slow in the middle, but the over the top antics makes up for it. The kid they got playing Spritle is hilarious. Emile Hirsch as Speed was great, Matthew Fox as Racer X, again great, Mom & Pops, both great. And Trixi. Vroom Vroom.
It's remake central this week as Colleen and I dive into cell phone's and vaginas! This week we review the newest Shannon Sossoman horror flick "One Missed Call" and the vagina dentata opus "Teeth".
Questions, comments, suggestions, rejections? Feel free to leave us a voice mail at 206-984-9853, by email at firstname.lastname@example.com, or in the comments!
Last week saw the release of many peoples justification for owning a Wii; Mario Kart.
Released on every Nintendo Platform made since the Super NES, Mario Kart as been THE pinnacle of cartoon kart racing. There's hasn't been a whole lot of others mind you, but for what there is, none hold a candle to this little Italian plumber and his lead foot.
There will be a lot of people out there that respond with '...uh...who?' when I mention the name Peter Cushing. Others, the truly hard core will say 'Oh yah, Grand Moff Tarkin from "Star Wars". Finally, there will be a third group out there who's first response will be something along the lines of "Hells yes, I love Peter Cushing!", who will then begin to fill you in on the storied film history of this Hammer Films stalwart who provided thrills and chills as Dr. Frankenstein, Van Helsing, Sherlock Holmes, as well as many others. Just like I'm going to do right now!
It's that time of year folks! Saturday May 3rd, 2008 is 'Free Comic Book Day' at comic shops across the nation!
From their press release....
"One of the goals of Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) is to reach out to those individuals unfamiliar with the comics specialty market, not to mention a comic book shop. So, every year those behind Free Comic Book Day launch a massive promotional campaign that heralds the event and spreads the good word of comics to potential readers everywhere."
My illegitimate brother Bryan from DrunkenZombie.com and his crew of merry drunkards dives into the Romero oeuvre as they look at the ENTIRE zombie cannon!
Also, they asked me to chime in with thoughts on "Dawn of the Dead"! So stand back folks, we are officially crossing the streams.
(Bryan, I don't have any money to loan ya, but you're welcome to the couch. Brothers are one thing, but you're on your own for beer!)
Share the hetero man-love!
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

Cold, damp and on the losing side: A British sporting summer
If you were being uncharitable you'd call it a typical scene from a British summer: a few hundred hardy fans braving the cold, the damp and the threat of travel chaos to stay on long after the TV cameras had packed up and watch Andy Murray partner Lleyton Hewitt in a meaningless doubles match at Queen's.
"Come on Andy!" "Come on Muzzah!" they shouted from deep within their coats and under their blankets but the chants seemed more to encourage themselves on another gloomy evening than for the British number one.
In any case, it was all to no avail, as Murray and Hewitt lost 6-4 6-3 to Lukasz Kubot and Oliver Marach in the second round.
It's easy to see why the fans were prepared to bear the cold, many of them for a second day running, all for a glimpse of Murray before he makes his debut in the main draw. As a singles player, Murray is ranked at number three in the world and is the country's great hope of a first men's title at Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936.
Is Federer now the G.O.A.T?
We've heard what some of the great and good of tennis have said about Roger Federer's achievements but can we now rank him as the best player ever to have picked up a racket? Here, Ossian Shine considers the arguments, while in the post below Miles Evans urges a spot of caution.
At first it looked as though the world's tennis pundits were bickering about whether or not Roger Federer was a herbivorous bovid.
Let's not be so quick to crown Roger the Greatest
Any debate about the greatest player of all time in a given event is naturally laden with 'what ifs'.
Roger Federer's tearful victory in the French Open final on Sunday prompted an undignified queue of pundits and former players to conclude that the elegant Swiss was undoubtedly the best tennis had ever seen. But what if…
Do fewer tantrums = more titles?
Temper tantrums are more or less a thing of the past for Dinara Safina, who said on Tuesday that her rise to the world number one spot had been helped by her efforts to stop her angry mid-match outbursts.
Ditching most of the rages — which culminated at last year's Roland Garros with some unsuspecting flowers near the court being decapitated — seems to have worked for the Russian as she stayed on track for a maiden grand slam title by reaching the French Open semis (although she did break one racket along the way).
Nadal's defeat presents perfect opportunity for Federer
It wasn't supposed to be a question of 'if' but rather how convincingly Rafael Nadal would clinch his record fifth successive French Open title.
But the baseline behemoth, for so long indestructible at Roland Garros, turned out to be mere flesh and blood, mere forehands and backhands as his unbeaten record at the capital of claycourt tennis came to an inglorious end.
Time to silence the grunters?
Serve-GRUNT-forehand return-MOAN-groundstroke-YELP-backhand-SQUEAL-volley-SCREAM-drop shot … 0-15.
Sitting on centre court at the French Open this week, I realised I was listening to tennis rather than watching it.
Dokic is not done yet
If anyone deserves to make a successful comeback to top flight tennis it is Jelena Dokic.
When most players want a second bite of the cherry, it is because they enjoyed their careers so much the first time round and realised how much they missed it when they began to pursue other interests. If in doubt ask Martina Navratilova, (a blink and you'll miss it singles return in 2004), Martina Hingis or even Kim Clijsters (who has had enough of changing nappies, perhaps).
Murray may never find magic French formula … but so what?
Define the perfect claycourt tennis player.
How about: The patient counter puncher who's happy to trade blows from the baseline until his opponent makes an error then pounces with an angled drive or pinpoint passing shot.
But hang on a sec … Couldn't that describe Andy Murray's game? The player whose passive style has brought so much success on hardcourts and yet the same man who looks about as at home on a clay court as I do on the Cresta Run?
Wimbledon roof is great, but pity those left out in the cold…
As Wimbledon closed its new retractable roof over Centre Court for the first time in a drizzly southwest London on Sunday, the gap between the haves and have-nots grew wider.
Spectators and organisers hailed the new innovation, which will ensure Centre Court ticket holders will never again go away without seeing a match, but the rest of the soggy Wimbledon grounds provided a stark reminder of what it will be like for the majority of players and fans who walk through the All England Club gates next month.
Sport on sub-continent threatened after attack on Sri Lanka cricketers
Scenes of bloodshed on the streets of Lahore after gunmen attacked the Sri Lankan team bus instantly ended any hopes Pakistan might have held of coaxing the cricketing world back to its grounds.
Repercussions from Tuesday's incident that left six players wounded and five policemen dead may also be felt through the entire region for years to come (read our main report here and click here for reaction).

In 1483, the two little boys stood in line as heirs to the British throne, but their father's early death preceded official accusations of regal bigamy and the judicial decision that the children were in fact illegitimate sons.

Rossin Week on ebay
Since i'm almost ready to put online a new stock of bikes and frames, I thought it was time to do some selling… So, two auctions are already running on ebay. Please pay a visit to the Rossin Prestige and Rossin Ghibli pages, you will find a link for the auctions. As usual, no reserve and starting from 1$.
Rossin Ghibli SLX – Campagnolo C-Record
A masterpiece made in the late 80′s by one of the most famous framebuilders on earth, Marco Rossin. The Ghibli was at the top of the Rossin production for several years, well known as a light and stiff bicycle, only equipped with the best components available. The frame is made out of SLX Columbus tubing, and then shaped as the Gilco tubing used on the Colnago Master models, trying to made the frame stiffer. The bicycle is equipped with full Campagnolo C-Record groupset, which includes the Delta brakes (here at the 2nd generation). Please note that this bike was made for a professional cyclist named Passuello Walter, his name is on the two side of the top tube, close to the seat cluster. Check out all the pictures here.

At Bellago Homes we believe that stunning beauty can be a part of our customer's lives. It is our desire to bring this to pass by creating homes that invoke this feeling by every artful detail incorporated into our stylish homes. Our stylish homes and amenities are reminiscent of those found at prominent resorts. We are committed to creating a beautiful atmosphere for our clients to live in and enjoy. At Bellago Homes style is not an option; it is a standard that we set.
Our authentically themed and detailed elevations create a street scene reminiscent of neighborhoods past. Inside and out you'll notice the attention to detail that we gave in creating these plans. You'll notice the split floor plans with a natural separation between the master bedroom and the other bedrooms. You'll notice the angle walls and stepped cabinets in the kitchen, which a person would normally only find in custom homes. These homes have round ceiling drops and round turrets normally only found in custom homes. We have taken some of the most aesthetically pleasing details of custom homes and made them part of our homes in this neighborhood. In a time when many other builders have significantly limited details and options, or eliminated details and standard options altogether, we have expanded the standard and optional details that Bellago Homes offers. Intelligent design means innovative floor plans with more options, timeless street scenes and an impressive list of included custom features.
At Bellago Homes we build one home at a time. We don't want to be the largest builder in town, but we do want to be one of the best builders in town. Our attention to detail and our commitment to style can be seen in every home and community that we build. At Bellago Homes your home is built by skilled craftsmen being led by artisans with a vision in mind. Our craftsmen apply detailed finishes like sand finish stucco to front elevations of homes and three color paint schemes on the exteriors of each home. Our craftsmen build complicated round drops and complicated front elevations with recessed and angled window treatments with powder coated Iron facades. Our craftsmen install real cantera stone trims and treatments that come out of Mexico and are hand carved to perfection. We offer real upgraded options that are normally considered custom like oil rubbed plumbing fixtures and oil rubbed bronze mirror doors and bath accessories and don't forget our upgraded lighting packages. These are just a few examples of how your Bellago Home is built with Expert Craftsmanship.
Quality to us means upgraded standard features, including: smooth recessed paneled interior doors, standard mirror doors in Master baths, rocker light switches, stepped kitchen cabinets with a custom look, front door handle sets, skip trowel drywall finish with round corner bead, standard upgraded lighting package. Round bay windows with round ceiling drops. Many of our standard features are considered upgrades at other home building companies. It costs more to include these features, but we don't believe in cutting corners when it comes to quality and aesthetics. We believe that most people want to live in a home and neighborhood where quality and beauty exist.
We are second generation Homebuilders. Having learned the business from the ground up, we spend an enormous amount of time in the planning stages of the homes and communities that we build. We have a real vision in mind of how we want each community and each home to turn out when we are finished with a project. We follow this vision vigorously until it is completed. Our homes are considered some of the most beautiful homes being built in the valley. Innovation and aesthetic design joined with quality construction make our homes extremely enjoyable to live in. We hope you will join with us in our vision of what the future could be by becoming part of our family of happy homeowners at Bellago Homes. Bellago Homes where stunning beauty is incorporated into every detail.

Disinformation: 'Pravda' May Be Gone, but Now There's 'Russia Today'
Russia's propaganda machine is stronger than ever thanks to cable network RT. Its Syria coverage offers the proof.
Anyone who has watched Russia's English-language propaganda channel RT over the past 10 months would have learned that in Syria, foreign-funded terrorists, Israeli operatives, and American intelligence agents are attempting to destabilize a benevolent, popular autocrat. Take, for example, the ongoing siege of Homs, in which more than 400 people have been slaughtered by Bashar al-Assad's regime over the past week and a half. Rockets and mortar have rained down on apartment buildings, and, according to a report from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, entire families have been executed inside their homes. Here's how RT summed up news of the massacre: "Disinformation makes it difficult to establish Homs reality."
While it's unsurprising that the network's coverage of the Syrian uprising would track closely with positions staked out by the Kremlin—for example, when Russia vetoed the U.N. Security Council resolution condemning the regime, an RT correspondent stressed that the resolution "could have sent an unbalanced signal to all sides of the conflict"—RT hasn't simply promoted an anti-interventionist or anti-NATO viewpoint. Instead, it has frequently parroted Assad's narrative by providing a platform for paranoiacs and conspiracy theorists to dispute that civilians are being killed by the regime, accuse America and Israel of being behind the deaths of Syrian civilians, and argue that the government in Damascus is a beacon of tolerance in the region.
It's tempting to dismiss the channel as a well-funded playground for unsophisticated cranks and Vladimir Posner impersonators. But RT, previously known as Russia Today, has become an online media phenomenon. Its YouTube videos have been viewed 675 million times, and the network claims that its television signal reaches "over 430 million people, or 22 percent of all cable subscribers worldwide." (By comparison, CNN and CNN International have a combined 32 million video views on YouTube.) In 2010 RT was nominated for an International Emmy for its coverage of Barack Obama's state visit to Russia.
The channel's large and fervent online fan club sees the network as a brilliantly subversive corrective to America's corporate media. Indeed, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, that scourge of government secrecy and authoritarianism, recently announced that he would host an interview show on RT, apparently unbothered by the secrecy and authoritarianism of the channel's patron in Moscow: the Kremlin.
With Assange's imprimatur of alternative media credibility, slick graphics, a staff of 2,000 packed with third-tier American and British journalists, and an enormous operating budget, RT is using its increasing influence to warp the truth about Assad's crimes against the Syrian people.
In 1944, when Germany's industrialized killing of Jews was at its apogee, novelist and former Stalinist Arthur Koestler published the short essay "On Disbelieving Atrocities" in the New York Times. He wondered why, despite mountains of evidence, plenty of clever people dismissed smuggled photos and chilling firsthand accounts of Nazi crimes as black propaganda. Indeed, Koestler puzzled over the fact that "our awareness seems to shrink in direct ratio as communications expand; the world is open to us as never before, and we walk about as prisoners."
That was before the Internet. Today, dissidents within Syria—making use of mobile-phone cameras, Twitter, and YouTube—have provided irrefutable documentation of the brutality inflicted on innocents by their government. Much of this information has been corroborated by eyewitnesses, satellite photographs, and independent journalists.
But RT has consistently doubted the authenticity of the evidence. In a recent segment on the "myths and truths about [the] Syrian uprising," RT correspondent Maria Finoshina explained that viewers should be skeptical of mobile-phone footage because such images "can be used to transform truth, and that can come at the cost of people's lives." On the other hand, videos purporting to document the violence of the opposition are screened without circumspection. RT set up the clip: "Torture, booby-trapped cars, machine-guns shooting in the air—RT has come into the possession of a video that deals with episodes of the day-to-day life of members of the Syrian opposition"
Often, RT's unidirectional skepticism is indistinguishable from real-time denialism. The United Nations figure of over 5,000 Syrians killed since the start of the uprising has "absolutely no basis" in fact, according to frequent RT guest James Corbett, an American blogger based in Japan. Another guest, former FBI translator and 9/11 conspiracist Sibel Edmonds, casually dismissed reports of "so-called massacres." A recent story on the RT website dismissed Arab League observers in the country as "atrocity scouts."
Rick Santorum gets much about America very wrong. But there's one thing he understands that's crucial to winning elections and governing effectively.
