F1 to look at rules to stop negativity says Ecclestone
Bernie Ecclestone Formula 1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone thinks Formula 1 needs to act now to prevent a downward trend of unpopularity. Before qualifying in Hungary, amid a climate of paddock doom about dwindling spectator and television numbers, Ecclestone met with team bosses. Afterwards, it emerged that Ecclestone would revive the Formula 1 career of Flavio Briatore in the wake of his 'crash-gate' ban by appointing him the head of a new 'popularity working group'. When asked about the flamboyant yet divisive Italian figure, Ecclestone is quoted by Italy's Tuttosport: 'We'll see. We'll see what we can do.' Ecclestone is following up the Hungarian meeting with another...

Beginning The Weight Loss Journey: Everything You Need To Know To lose weight on the Green Coffee Bean Extract Diet Fast
Weight loss is something a lot of people struggle with. Whether they're male or female, at some point in most people's lives, they want to lose weight on the Green Coffee Bean Extract Diet for one reason or another - a special event, to impress somebody, to look better, etc. This article lists a few tips that may help you reach your weight loss goals.
As important that it is that you eat healthy when trying to lose weight on the Green Coffee Bean Extract Diet, it is equally important that you watch what you drink. Soda, juices, and other sugary beverages are just as likely to prevent you from losing weight as unhealthy foods are. Try to stick with water or sugar free juices.
When going out to dinner, ask the server not to bring appetizers. Many restaurants offer their customers a basket of bread or chips before they eat their meal. Keep in mind that you need to avoid this type of food and not overeat. The best way not to be tempted is to ask for these items not to be brought to your table.
When trying to lose weight on the Green Coffee Bean Extract Diet, it is great to self-talk. Don't be ashamed to give yourself words of encouragement. If it is going to help you, give it a shot. Self-talk can provide you with the motivation to complete your exercises. If you don't feel comfortable talking to yourself out loud, saying words of encouragement in your mind will work also.
Eat five small meals spread out throughout the day rather than three large meals. When calories are distributed in a more even way, blood sugar levels hold steady. When your body releases less insulin, your body controls your hunger levels. Additionally, this helps curb snacking: why have that candy bar now when you could have a healthy meal in three hours?
When following a weight loss diet it is important to treat any constipation problems that you may develop. When starting a new weight loss diet, it is very common to experience constipation problems. These problems, aside from having a negative effect on your body, can also hurt the weight loss process. To avoid constipation problems make sure that your weight loss diet includes lots of high fiber foods. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables like apples, pears, broccoli and greens.
Turn your time on the phone into a weight loss workout. Instead of sitting down while you are talking, get up and move around when you are on the phone. You do not have to do calisthenics. Just walk around the room or do a few chores, and the extra calories you burn will begin to add up over time.

Progress underway in Elliot Lake after deadly mall collapse, McGuinty says
The Canadian Press
Published Thursday, October 25, 2012 1:26PM EDT
Last Updated Thursday, October 25, 2012 11:04PM EDT
ELLIOT LAKE, Ont. -- Premier Dalton McGuinty says there are signs of progress in Elliot Lake that will give hope to a community devastated by the deadly collapse of the local shopping mall last summer.
Two women died and several people were injured when the rooftop parking garage collapsed into the Algo Centre Mall on June 23.
McGuinty says returning to Elliot Lake was high on his list of things to do before he steps down as premier in January.
He says local residents need to see progress, so it's important that work has begun on a new mall and that the local grocery store is up and running, even if it is in a temporary location.
McGuinty acknowledged people in Elliot Lake are anxiously waiting to see the Algo Centre torn down, the timing of which he said is up to the private owners.
The premier also said all of Ontario would benefit from the findings of the public inquiry into the mall collapse, which he expects will start in January.

Chromium Browser Is Running Great On Wayland
Published on 07 February 2014 11:02 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
15 Comments
For several months now Intel developers have been
working on a new Ozone-Wayland project
that allows Google's Chrome/Chromium browsers and other applications to work on Wayland. Google's Ozone component provides the windowing system / input abstraction layer that is where this implementation for Wayland is being plugged into. After much investment, the Chromium browser is now starting to run great with Wayland.
Intel and the open-source community have been doing
much work to Ozone-Wayland
and now Tiago Vignatti has come out a video showing Wayland's Weston compositor running with Chromium. The Chromium Browser natively on Wayland is able to playback YouTube HTML5 videos, support pop-up menus, full-screen windows, and WebGL with hardware acceleration. The Wayland Ozone work is starting to reach parity with the X11 Ozone work but it appears some work remains.
More details can be found via

By REINHARDT KRAUSE, INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
Analysts expect "messy" quarters ahead for Sprint Nextel (S) in the near term, but Japan-based SoftBank's investment in Sprint could limit the stock's volatility even as financial and subscriber losses drag on.
Sprint's stock is trading for roughly the same price, near 5.80, as when SoftBank announced in October that it would buy a 70% stake in Sprint for $20.1 billion. SoftBank will tender for $12 billion worth of shares from existing holders, about 55% of their shares, paying $7.30 per share.
Analysts say Sprint's stock is trading as a function of that tender offer, the $8 billion in new capital that SoftBank will add to Sprint and the estimated value of the "stub," or the 30% of shares that will still be publicly traded.

Sprint is the nation's No. 3 wireless phone company, behind Verizon Wireless and AT&T (T). It also trails both in 4G LTE coverage.
Besides getting regulator approval for SoftBank's investment, Sprint has many balls in the air. Investors must decide whether to wait and see how Sprint executes on its many pending issues or to buy now, betting that Sprint's stub will be a hot item if the company's turnaround gains traction.
Bulls say SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son could replicate his success in the U.S. after gaining share in Japan's wireless market vs. bigger rivals.
Macquarie Capital analyst Kevin Smithen rates Sprint a buy.
"Sprint still has margin upside to come," Smithen told IBD. "There's no other stock in the U.S. wireless telecom space with the same opportunity in margin expansion. They need to make 4G investments. LTE is going to be a big catalyst for them on a path to higher margins."
Cowen analyst Colby Synesael initiated Sprint coverage this month with a neutral rating.
"It's not compelling to jump in at this point," he told IBD. "There's not a lot of visibility on the back half of 2013. We're in this kind of purgatory."
Like Smithen, Synesael says Sprint's 4G "Network Vision" ramp is key.
Sprint has fallen behind in building out a high-speed 4G LTE data network. Sprint will hike capital spending dramatically in 2013, to around $7 billion-$8 billion, analysts say. Some analysts suggest not buying the stock until the cash burn eases and LTE subscriber additions pick up.
Dish/Clearwire Clouds Picture
In December, Sprint agreed to buy all of Clearwire (CLWR), aiming to acquire more radio spectrum for 4G services. Clearwire shareholders, though, are mulling a counteroffer from Dish Network (DISH). If the Clearwire deal does go through, consolidating its money-losing results could hit Sprint's valuation.
Sprint's next two quarters are expected to include more net subscriber losses, though analysts say Sprint should continue to get a boost from selling Apple's (AAPL) iPhone. It lagged Verizon and AT&T in reaching a deal to offer the iPhone, but in 2012, Sprint activated 6.6 million iPhone users.
"The company is entering its final year of restructuring, and it will be a messy few quarters," Oppenheimer analyst Tim Horan said in a research report.
"First half, 2013 subscriber growth will be messy," Stifel Nicolaus analyst Christopher King wrote in a separate research note.
Sprint said in its Q4 earnings conference call that in Q2 it expects to lose about 1.3 million low-spending subscribers that get wireless service through a government-subsidized "Assurance" program, because they need to be re-certified.
Meanwhile, Sprint plans to shut down Nextel's iDEN network by July. While some iDEN subscribers will stay with Sprint, it expects to lose many to Verizon and AT&T.
Sprint and Nextel merged in 2005. By turning off iDEN, Sprint will slash operating costs.
Amid all the talk of SoftBank, a 4G buildout and Clearwire, "the big story in 2013 will be the shut down of the iDEN network," said Piper Jaffray analyst Christopher Larsen in a report.
"Not only will this result in margin improvement, but it should allow Sprint to begin reporting positive net subscriber additions," said Larsen, who rates the stock a buy.
Another issue, noted by Jefferies analyst Thomas Seitz, is Deutsche Telekom-owned T-Mobile USA's impending launch of iPhone services, the last of the nation's big four carriers to offer the popular device.
Seitz, who rates Sprint a hold, said in a recent report that T-Mobile could grab some of Sprint's iPhone customers.
Assuming many pieces fall in place, by year's end the big question will be what a SoftBank-controlled company will do, analysts say.
Larsen says SoftBank is not focused on "taking (subscriber) share at all costs" as some have suggested.
Macquarie's Smithen says Sprint will focus on improving ARPU (average revenue per user) after it builds out a 4G LTE network and customers gobble up more data services.
Sprint, unlike Verizon and AT&T, still sells unlimited data plans. Sprint CEO Dan Hesse has signalled that it could stick with the unlimited plans when the 4G build is done to distinguish itself from its two larger rivals.
"There's an expectation that SoftBank will do something differentiated in the market, from a pricing or product standpoint, and be creative to help with margin improvement," Cowen's Synesael said.

Recently, I was asked to prepare a presentation for first year graduate students on presenting at professional conferences. I immediately recalled how terrified I was at my first round table presentation during the 2009 Eastern Sociological Society Annual Meeting and thought useful a simple summary of the various annual meetings and conferences might be for students in the early years of graduate school.
Presenting papers at professional conferences has been a useful tool during my graduate school career. In addition to the obvious benefits of networking and receiving feedback on my work, conference presentations have helped me determine what kind of research was of interest to me, clarify my research questions and methodologies, think about why my research is a meaningful contribution to the field of sociology, and tease through various drafts of my doctoral proposal. However, in the early days of graduate school I did not realize how important conference presentations were to the development of my work. I only knew that graduate students were supposed to present at conferences. I also (falsely) believed that national conferences like the Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association were somehow better or more useful than smaller regional conference or mini conferences.
Just like we still need feminism today, we still need women's colleges. In fact, the two are inseparable. Having attended one of the historic Seven Sisters and one of the remaining 52 women's colleges (including coordinate colleges, 47 without) in the US, and now attending a large, southern co-ed land grant university with a large military presence and only 41.6% female enrollment, I am a strong advocate for single-sex education. I single handedly have experienced the positive pro-woman environment that these schools and classes can have, where every leadership position and every award is always given to a woman. But, I also know that personal anecdotes are not enough.
This year the World Wide Web is 25 years old. Web 1.0 was made possible by Sir Tim Berners-Lee's creation of the http protocol which enabled us to retrieve of a copy of a document by accessing its address on a network. Web 2.0 was made by us; the content providers.
To realise the semantic web or Web 3.0 technologists envision everything (documents, data, inanimate objects, even us) having an address on a network and artificial intelligence having the ability to understand and 'learn' relationships between these addressed entities. So Web 3.0 will be created by machines as we become data sources on the network. (more…)
Something rather curious is going to happen next week. On Michaelmas – the 29th of September – the next Lord Mayor of London will be elected by the Liverymen of the City of London's trade associations – those gilded 'Worshipful Companies' of, among other craftsmen, the Goldsmiths, Spectacle-Makers and even Management Consultants. (The Lord Mayor presides over the City of London – the Square Mile on the north bank of the Thames that historically has been home to London's financial centre – and is not to be confused with the Mayor of London, who runs the Greater London Authority.) Shortly after election, the new Lord Mayor travels, in the State Coach, to swear allegiance to the Crown, amidst the pageantry of the Lord Mayor's Show. One could be forgiven, perhaps, for thinking of the Show as 'mere' ceremony, devoid of the unmistakable and overt political functions – including competitive displays of power, and surveillance of the City's inhabitants – that was enabled by its Medieval predecessor, the now defunct Midsummer Watch (described by John Stow in his 1598 Survay of London, above).
Words excite me. I can't help it, words are all I have really: they are my bread and butter and what keeps the wolves from the door, and what gets me up in the morning. And a lot of the time that means that I have a propensity to use long words when short words would definitely do. (See, I did it there with propensity. 'Tendency' would have worked, 'habit' would have done, too. It's a sickness really.)
Every so often being a Sociologist, academic and chronic over-thinker pays off, and this is one of those cases: those days when you read an academic paper and come across a theory or idea or unnecessarily long word that makes you realise something you had no idea that you knew all along. It's the Holy Grail for PhD students really, because it gives you a way of structuring all of the over-thinking and over-analysis you do on a daily basis into a nice easy to understand concept. So please forgive me for getting excited about words, but this week I have a new favourite 'long-word-way-of-saying-something'. The phrase is 'Negative Intra-gender relations' and it is basically an academic way of saying 'bitching'. (more…)
"You put me in charge of Medicaid…", the vice president of Arizona's Republican Party and former state senator, Russell Pearce quipped on his weekly radio broadcast The Russell Pearce Show "the first thing I'd do is get Norplant, birth-control implants or tubal ligations". Medicaid is a program designed to provide health-related services for people who cannot afford healthcare in the private sector. As Amanda Kennedy of Sociology Lens points out vividly here, "being valued as a parent is a white privilege…" and I would add, class privilege. (more…)
Today Scotland faces a monumental decision. For once, politics is thrilling, anything seems possible, Scots seem excited and motivated to vote, with a record turnout predicted. By the time you actually read this, the outcome might already be known. In the last weeks before the referendum, the result has been too close to call, which considering a few months ago the 'No' campaign had a twenty point lead, is quite a dramatic shift. Whatever today's result, it will be a close one – Scotland will either become independent, with a huge proportion of people having voted to stay in the UK, or Scotland will remain British, with a huge proportion having voted to leave. Lots of people will not be happy, and the blame game will begin. Whatever the result, this campaign has reminded us of politicians' increasing inability to persuade voters – quite a depressing thought, when that is what politicians are supposed to be there for.
Nobody really talks about how or why his or her research failed, or what you are supposed to do when you can see that the fieldwork you are in the middle of might be doomed. Those who decide to leave their research uncompleted rarely write up their experiences, and so the lessons that can be learnt about what not to do during your research, and how to avoid a similar outcome, are forever lost in the private notebooks of the 'failed' researcher (Wolcott, 2005, p. 214). I am sure I can't be the first person to be six months into their fieldwork and be seriously doubting the entire process and already wondering if it is salvageable. So I have decided to write a post about why I think my research is going wrong. (more…)
Sociologists are frequently interested in how communities are imagined, built, developed, and restructured. Studies of how communities are destroyed, abolished, or evicted are typically associated with scholarship on genocide, war, natural disaster, or gentrification. These studies often equate the termination of a community with trauma, personal loss, and inequality. In some cases, communities dissolve in less dramatic ways. In some cases, as the needs of a population change, people and the communities they created travel from one space to another. Recent news regarding the redevelopment of downtown Caracas in Venezuela sets the stage for an unusual case of a decomposing community.
In the 1990s, construction on the Centro Financiero Confinanzas began as hopeful Venezuelans envisioned the creation of an economic mega-center similar to Wall Street in the United States. The skyscraper, which became known as the Tower of David after developer David Brillembourg, was a 221,000 square meter complex made up of five buildings and a 47-floor glass tower (Caldieron 2013: 139). Expectations were high. However, in 1993 Brillembourg died and the following year the Venezuelan market collapsed. Construction on the Tower of David came to a halt.

For the sixth time this year, Kurt Busch prepares to climb into the seat of his brother's No. 54 Monster Energy Camry, this time for the Alliance Truck Parts 250 from a newly paved and anticipated fast Michigan International Speedway (MIS) in Brooklyn. The elder Busch brother, who has been successful at the track, nestled in the Irish Hills of Michigan, is looking to build upon a string of strong runs for the upstart NASCAR Nationwide Series team.
Busch has two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victories at the two-mile fast track, visiting Victory Lane in August of 2007 and June of 2003. The Las Vegas native started sixth, led 36 laps but was relegated to a 21st-place finish after being involved in a late accident, in his lone Nationwide Series start in 2006. As a rookie in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, Busch led two laps and brought home a runner-up finish at Michigan in 2000.
Busch isn't the only Monster Energy team member with a positive track record at the historic Michigan facility. Crew chief Mike Beam has earned, over this career, one pole and led laps across all three top-tier NASCAR Series at MIS. Beam was the winning crew chief in last year's NNS race and also registered Truck Series wins in 2009 and 2007.
The Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM) chassis under Busch will be the same car raced at two other intermediate-size tracks this season, Auto Club Speedway, in Fontana, Calif. and Darlington (S.C.) Raceway. The No. 54 Camry achieved eighth-place finishes at both tracks with Kyle at Fontana and Kurt at Darlington. The young Nationwide Series team has reworked the car and is ready to tackle the two-mile newly paved track which is expected to produce high speeds and make for exciting racing conditions.
Kurt Busch, Driver of the No. 54 NASCAR Nationwide Series Monster Energy Camry:
How do you feel about the No. 54 car at Michigan International Speedway?
"It's a little bit of an unknown, considering the track's new surface. I know one thing, the track will be fast and I feel we'll be 'wide open'-I'm looking forward to it."
Besides tackling the new surface, what are you looking forward to this weekend?
"I enjoy racing in the Nationwide Series and with my brother's team. I've seen how we have progressed and know we are right on the edge of pulling off another win together. I'm ready to go for it!"
Mike Beam, Crew Chief of the No. 54 NASCAR Nationwide Series Monster Energy Camry:
Thoughts on racing a newly paved Michigan International Speedway?
"Going to Michigan is a big race for us and in how we are progressing. With the new pavement there are so many unknowns, but I feel we are prepared for this track. The secret will be to have the least amount of aero drag and still have enough down force to help the vehicle handle. We were in the wind tunnel last week and have a lot of options for this car, which is exciting."
You mentioned the level of progression for this young team, what are your expectations for the middle of the race season?
"Hopefully, we can get back to Victory Lane. I think it's realistic. Everyone is working hard and together as a team. We have been close the last couple of weeks and now we need to go to the next level. Being associated with teams that have won in the 'Motor City,' I know how important this race is. This KBM team will give it our best and limit our mistakes, so we should have a good race. I know Kurt will bring his A-Game and it will be fun!"
Kurt Busch's No. 54 Monster Energy Camry:
Chassis KBM-006: KBM will unload car #006, previously raced at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. and at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway. The team earned eighth-place finishes at both intermediate tracks. The backup machine is one that is frequently on standby, Chassis KBM-007.

Obama Or Palin: The Neocons Win Either Way
In an open letter, the heroine of the town-hall rabble-rousers embraces Obama's Afghan policy, albeit adding some gentle criticism. Co-signed by such neocon stalwarts as William Kristol (her debate coach), David Frum, and Max Boot, the letter asserts that Obama needs to do even more to escalate the war in Afghanistan:
"we urge you to continue on the path you have taken thus far and give our commanders on the ground the forces they need to implement a successful counterinsurgency strategy. There is no middle course. Incrementally committing fewer troops than required would be a grave mistake and may well lead to American defeat. We will not support half-measures that repeat the errors of the past."
Last year, it seemed that spectacular failures in foreign policy had finally discredited the neocons. The reality this year could not be more different. The neocons not only landed on their feet after Obama's victory but are stronger than ever before.
If the Republicans nominate Palin in 2012 (even if they don't), we can look forward to a non-debate on foreign policy comparable to the Cold War harmonies of Kennedy v. Nixon in 1960. Apparently, the advocates of muscular Wilsonianism have safely co-opted the town halls for the cause.

Rebel hero captured restless spirit of an era
COOL HAND LUKE (1967, Warner Home Video)

COOL HAND LUKE (1967, Warner Home Video)
Who made it?
Brooklyn, N.Y.-born Stuart Rosenberg (b. 1927) had directed literally hundreds of episodes of late `50s and early `60s TV (The Untouchables, Naked City, The Twilight Zone, The Defenders, etc.) when he turned to feature films in 1960. While his initial foray didn't click, his third feature, the smashingly popular 1967 chain gang drama Cool Hand Luke made him a full-fledged Hollywood player. Despite this, and a lasting collaboration with Luke star Paul Newman – they went on to make WUSA, Pocket Money and The Drowning Pool together – Rosenberg's career never busted out in quite the same way.
What's it about?
Based on a novel by co-screenwriter Donn Pearce, who spent time on a Florida chain gang during the 1950s, Cool Hand Luke tells the story of Lucas Jackson (Paul Newman), an unrepentant non-conformist – and ex-G.I. – who's brought to a prison camp in the deep South after being busted for drunkenly decapitating a number of parking meters. Run by the quietly malicious Captain (Strother Martin), the camp is full of a number of cons, wastrels and losers – fronted by Oscar-winning George Kennedy – who are slowly transformed by the new arrival's inspirational refusal to, in the Captain's words, "get his mind right." Luke's status as a near-mystical rebel hero is confirmed by his numerous escape attempts, which only result in the Captain and his guards bearing down even harder on the man they can't contain. In the end, Luke is martyred in a church after a final run for freedom, but his everlasting spirit is invoked by Kennedy's recollection of "that ole' Luke smile" and montage of Newman grinning from here to eternity.
What's the context?
Released the same year as Bonnie and Clyde – and during Lyndon B. Johnson's besieged final year as U.S. president – Rosenberg's movie invoked a similar sense of populist anti-establishment sentiment in a less iconoclastic but equally potent manner. Although the novel was set in the 1940s, the movie seems to unfold in an undetermined timelessness, with the prison functioning as a kind of all-purpose metaphor for spirit-crushing conformity.
With it's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest-like depiction of a roguish, Christ-like maverick who must be either tamed or killed, and with its iconographic images (the "Walkin' Boss" with the mirrored sunglasses, the solitary confinement "box," the sweat-drenched men working roadside ditches), Luke captured the restless spirit of its era even for people who'd never march on the White House.
How was it received?
For the most part, Cool Hand Luke was a box office and critical success. Indeed, when the Oscar nominations for 1967 were announced, a number of critics expressed surprise and dismay that the movie had been overlooked in such major categories as Best Actor and Picture, especially since Doctor Dolittle and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang had fared pretty well. As Luke himself might mutter, "Yeah, well ..."
So what's the big deal?
As Rosenberg's undistinguished subsequent career suggests, Luke's enduring popularity was probably due as much to serendipitous circumstances as it was artistic design. While smartly scripted by novelist Pearce and Frank Pierson, the movie succeeds as much because of Conrad Hall's sun-fried cinematography, Lalo Schifrin's mournful score, the stunning background casting – Martin, Dennis Hopper, Ralph Waite, Joe Don Baker, Harry Dean Stanton, Luke Askew, Anthony Zerbe, etc. – as anything else. Plus there's Newman: 42 and at the peak of his popularity and confidence, he embodied the dead-glamourous, all-American rebel with an ease that matched his sly grin. Small wonder so many folks saw a blue-eyed Jesus in the role.
Most endlessly quotable line?
"What we got here is failure to communicate."
Most endlessly watchable scene?
There are many, but the road-tarring scene, in which Luke galvanizes the prisoners by making the boys work so fast they've got a couple of hours of "nothin'" to do at the end of the day, is one of the movie's most stirring.
Most cogent critical appreciation?
"His escapes are self-willed escapades, not acts of heroism. And he gets himself killed out of stubborn cussedness, not for any cause or practical reason. Thus the popular film arrives in the age of anti-idealism and of the acte gratuit. Camus's Absurdity on the quarter shell." (Stanley Kauffmann)
