Appendix C The Value of Factorial Experiments Factorial experiments are extremely useful designs when outcomes are needed for a variety of test conditions. For example, consider the following factors that could affect test performance (e.g., probability of an alarm, or probability of no alarm): Masking (absent, present) Shielding (absent, present) Mask location (front, middle) Mask height (front, middle) Shield location (front, middle) Shield height (front, middle) SNM (none, some) NORM (none, some) More than 8 factors could be envisioned (e.g., cargo density, ambient temperature, ambient humidity, background radiation level), and more than just 2 levels for each factor could be considered. For example, the masking and shielding factors could have levels labeled "absent," "front," and "middle;" and the SNM and NORM factors could have four levels labeled "none," "small," "medium," and "large," resulting in a 3x3x4x4 design (a total of 144 test conditions). This appendix illustrates the value of factorial designs (and a way to reduce the number of test conditions) with the above design simply for ease of illustration. The same concepts apply to more complex designs. But even with only these 8 factors at these levels, the testing of all 2 x 8 = 16 single-factor tests would not be informative. For example, what happens if a cargo contains some SNM and some NORM with much shielding and some masking placed in the middle of the truck? None of the 16 test runs would answer this question. One might also want to know if the probability of detecting SNM is affected by the combined presence of masking and shielding of different magnitudes—a question that likewise would not be answered by any of the 16 runs. The benefits of running test combinations can be seen already with the following (simpler) test design with these hypothetical results: shielding present absent present 0.20 0.95 masking absent 0.80 0.99 If one tested only "masking present" and "masking absent" in the absence of shielding, one might conclude that masking has some effect on SNM detection (0.95 vs. 0.99), but not as great as the effect of shielding in the absence of masking (0.80 vs. 0.99). One needed 3 runs to ascertain this conclusion. But with only one more run (masking and shielding both present), one sees that their combined effect is devastating to the probability of detection (0.20)—far lower than with 69

70 EVALUATING TESTING, COSTS, & BENEFITS OF ASPs: INTERIM REPORT either factor singly. The effect of different combinations of factors can be especially illuminating; hence the value of experimental designs with combinations of factors or "factorial designs." Unfortunately, testing all 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 = 28 = 256 combinations would be infeasible, especially since the outcome of each test is a "probability of detection"; i.e., (number of runs that sounded alarm)/(total number of runs). To minimize the uncertainty in this estimated probability, several runs must be conducted at each test scenario. With only n=6 or n=12 runs, one would have to conduct 256x6 = 1536 or 256x12 = 3072 test runs, and, even then, the uncertainty in the estimated probability could be as high as 30%-40% (95% confidence). For example, a perfect test of 6 correct actions (6/6) would yield an approximate 95% confidence interval for the true probability of detection as [(1-0.95)1/n, 1] = (0.61, 1.00) if n = 6 or [(1- 0.95)1/n, 1] = (0.78, 1.00) if n = 12. Clearly some reduction in the number of test scenarios is needed. Fractional factorial experiments are factorial experiments with only a fraction of the total number of runs. Consider, for ease of illustration, only 4 factors, denoted A, B. C, D, each at 2 levels ("present", "absent"). Sixteen test scenarios would cover all combinations, as follows: Factor levels Product (Mod 2) Scenario A B C D ABCD 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 0 0 3 1 1 0 1 0 4 1 1 0 0 1 5 1 0 1 1 0 6 1 0 1 0 1 7 1 0 0 1 1 8 1 0 0 0 0 9 0 1 1 1 0 10 0 1 1 0 1 11 0 1 0 1 1 12 0 1 0 0 0 13 0 0 1 1 1 14 0 0 1 0 0 15 0 0 0 1 0 16 0 0 0 0 1 "1" = "present", "0" = "absent"; "Product (Mod 2)" = 1 with even numbers of 1's, 0 with odd numbers of 1's Consider the rows whose last column value is 1: Run # A B C D 1 1 1 1 1 4 1 1 0 0 6 1 0 1 0 7 1 0 0 1 10 0 1 1 0 11 0 1 0 1 13 0 0 1 1 16 0 0 0 0
OCR for page 69
APPENDIX C: THE VALUE OF FACTORIAL EXPERIMENTS 71 Notice that exactly 4 runs have A absent and 4 runs have A present; the same is true of B, C, or D. Moreover, when A is present (first 4 runs), exactly 2 of the 4 runs have B present and 2 have B absent; the same is true for C and D, and any two of the four factors (A and C, A and D, etc.). In fact, all 8 runs for any combination of 3 factors (A, B, C; A, B, D; B, C, D) are included. So this design allows us to evaluate: The effect of A (present vs. absent) The effect of B The effect of C The effect of D The effect of A and B together The effect of A and C together The effect of A and D together The effect of B and C together The effect of B and D together The effect of C and D together The effect of A, B, and C together The effect of A, B, and D together The effect of B, C, and D together The only effect that we cannot assess is the 4-way interaction, ABCD. But we have reduced the number of runs from 16 to 8, a big savings. The same principle applies with 8 factors. If resources allow us to run only 64 scenarios, then we sacrifice the ability to estimate the interactions that involve 5 or more factors at once— e.g., ABCDEFGH, all 7-factor interactions (ABCDEFG, …, BCDEFGH)—but we can estimate all other main effects and 2-way, 3-way, and 4-way interactions. (Usually interactions involving 4 or more factors are hard to interpret anyway.) If we can run only 32 scenarios, we sacrifice the ability to estimate not only these high-order interactions, but also some ability to resolve some two-factor interactions; but we can still assess the main effects (A alone, ..., H alone) and most two-factor interactions (AB, ..., GH)—all with just 32 runs, a huge savings. The designs that NIST provided to DNDO for their test runs followed this principle. The only limiting factors are n, the number of test runs, and the inability to conduct the "SNM present" tests as blind tests. The former can be improved by increasing n; the latter can be addressed by hiring "actors" to pretend to act as security agents, with only DNDO personnel aware of the true SNM test scenarios. The effect of bias when tests are run unblinded has been documented extensively in the medical literature; unblinded tests must be viewed with great caution and even skepticism.

Soon after Duke Powers hydroelectric turbines rumbled to life at Cowans Ford Dam on Sept. 30, 1963, the public laid claim to the new Lake Norman.
Swimmers eagerly paddled through muddy water that dyed their trunks red. Rural stores began stocking fishing gear as for-sale signs sprang up in waterfront developments named Moonlight Bay and Malibu Beach.
So began the tension over North Carolinas largest manmade lake parts public and private that lingers 50 years later.
Designed to make electricity, Norman became the regions 32,339-acre playground. Duke, through its land subsidiary, profited from development of its shoreline.
Local governments, meanwhile, let slip away early chances to demand more parks and conservation. And while state policy guarantees public access to its water, a lakefront that is largely in private hands limits those opportunities.
The lakes future was laid a decade ago, when members of dozens of local governments, outdoor groups and environmental advocates began meeting to chart the next 50 years.
The occasion was the renewal of Dukes federal hydroelectric license for the Catawba River, which feeds the lake. It was the publics first real chance to sway what is now Duke Energys management of the Catawba, and so of Lake Norman.
Dozens of groups hammered out license terms with Duke over three years. The result still awaiting federal approval will be millions of dollars in new recreational amenities and conserved lands. And a new appreciation, by Duke, for partnerships.
The problem was I think the local governments didnt recognize (earlier) what a potential asset they had, said Vicki Taylor, a lawyer and consultant for the coalition that negotiated with Duke.
They didnt step up and ask for land for recreation and preservation in the beginning, when Duke was narrowly focused on power generation. They didnt recognize that the asset would appreciate or they thought, naively, that Duke just owned everything, she said.
Duke does own most of the land under the lake. Under the federal license, it also controls the flow of water and oversees piers and marinas that jut into the lake.
By 2006, private homes and marinas occupied 60 percent of the lakes 603-mile shoreline. Public recreation areas and marinas had just 1.6 percent. Dukes shoreline classifications, while not rigid, reserve twice as much space for future homes and private marinas as for public spaces.
If you dont own a boat, its difficult to fish or swim on Lake Norman, said Rick Gaskins, executive director of the Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation, a watchdog group.
Lake Norman State Park, on the northern end, has the lakes sole public swimming beach. Mecklenburg County expects to open a beach at Ramsey Creek Park, in Cornelius, by 2016.
Duke says the dense development around Norman wasnt by its design. Shoreline classifications, it says, are intended only to guide intensive development to places best suited to it while protecting sensitive areas.
Were not trying to drive the lake to any particular configuration, said Catawba relicensing manager Mark Oakley. The reach of our authority stops at the high-water line, 760 feet above sea level.
Beyond that line, four counties with zoning and other powers, and a half-dozen towns, border the lake. The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission enforces boating and fishing laws, while the states environment department monitors water quality.
Finally, the Lake Norman Marine Commission focuses on boat navigation and safety but also tackles problems ranging from aquatic weeds to toilet discharges from boats.
To property owners and visitors alike, the system can be as hard to untangle as a fishermans snarl. It can take a dozen permission letters and months of asking for a homeowner to dredge the bottom for a pier.
They dont know whos who and whats what, theres so many players and so many issues to be considered, said Ron Shoultz, the marine commissions executive director. The list is long and theres lots of moving parts.
The lake transforms a region
Gov. Luther Hodges, in triggering a dynamite blast to officially start construction in 1959, predicted Lake Norman would boost industries with a new energy source.
People who lived around the lake didnt think it would be much of an enterprise, said Davidson College archivist Jan Blodgett, whos part of a team collecting photos and stories of what lies under the lake. For the most part, it was just sort of there.
But something happened soon after the lake filled a process that took more than a year that would shape its future. Real estate values began to soar.
In 1963, when Duke owned about half the lakes shoreline, the company leased lakefront lots for $120 a year. By 1969, newspaper accounts say, rights to the leases were selling privately for $2,500. Companies that sold lots for as little as $795 in 1963 were asking for up to $5,900 two years later.
Interstate 77 to Charlotte opened in 1975, slashing travel time from the city and transforming the lake from a weekend retreat of trailers and cabins into a year-round neighborhood. Development took off in earnest in the 1990s.
Tensions between lakefront owners and lake visitors soon erupted.
Six years after the lake filled, the Observer recounted, a homeowner outraged over fishermen anchored beside his pier shot their boats anchor line in half.
Over decades, the lake evolved from energy generator to real estate bonanza, recreation hotspot, public water supply and the hub of its own distinct region. Studies predict demand for Catawba water alone will more than double over the next 50 years.
How could somebody imagine what it would be? Oakley said.
But because of such pressures, the advocacy group American Rivers has three times named the Catawba among the nations most endangered rivers.
In 1969 Duke created Crescent Resources, its real estate subsidiary, and transferred 300,000 acres of surplus land to it. Crescent became Lake Normans major developer of waterfront communities, although Duke maintains it operated independently of the utility.
Critics have insisted it wasnt right for Duke to profit from development of land bought cheaply and with the legal right of condemnation. The company, in turn, has touted its environmentally sensitive developments and thousands of acres of conserved lands.
Despite surviving a bankruptcy in which Duke gave up its interest, the renamed Crescent Communities remains a prominent development company.
By spinning most of that property off to Crescent Resources, they managed to transfer some valuable property out of the entity that had some public-interest obligation into an entity that didnt, said Gaskins, the Riverkeeper Foundations director. One impact was that it made it very difficult to get any of that land back.
Duke and its public
Increased public access and recreation became a hot-button issue when Duke began negotiating terms of its new hydro license in 2003.
Like the public, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission expected more from Duke than when the original Catawba River license was issued in 1958.
Our decisions have a lot of influence. But what we found in relicensing is that things go better with local partnerships, Oakley said. Our role and approach to managing these reservoirs has evolved with growing public interest and public needs.
He points to Dukes response to the searing droughts of recent years. Duke worked with municipalities that rely on the Catawba to create a water-conservation system and put it into effect years before the license was to be renewed.
On Lake Norman, Duke has built the 10 public access areas it promised a half-century ago and donated 1,300 acres for Lake Norman State Park. The company committed in license negotiations to improve an additional eight recreation areas over the next 20 years.
Catawba County credits Duke with greatly increasing public access on the lakes lightly developed western side. Duke agreed to a $1,900-an-acre discount on the sale of 589 acres for what will become Mountain Creek Park.
They didnt really have to donate the money and they didnt have to do it before they got licensed, said Mary George, the countys assistant planning director. It couldve got gone before they ever got the license we could have lost that property.
George just wishes the land had been preserved decades earlier.
Who owns the lake?
Vicki Taylor, executive coordinator of the Catawba-Wateree Relicensing Coalition, said the relicensing settlement tilted the Catawba in the publics favor although not as far as it might have. One of its key achievements, she said, was to bring together the lakes many interest groups for the first time.
The Lake Norman Marine Commission credits Duke for its expertise and willingness to do more than required for the lake.
We consider Duke to be a great partner and work with them on a number of issues, but we also watch out for the public and make sure Duke is doing right by the public, said Shoultz, the commissions executive director.
Gaskins, of the Riverkeeper Foundation, grades Dukes management a C. The company meets its license obligations, he said, but could do more as a true steward of the lake.
I dont think theyre horrible, he said. I think they try to kind of be a benevolent dictator, and so a lot of people feel like Duke doesnt listen to them. They do try to accommodate neighbors.
But sometimes, Gaskins said, no one seems to be in charge on the lake. He recalls a partially sunken boat, leaking fuel, that drifted down the lake for weeks last summer. Things like that come up all the time, he said.
So who owns Lake Norman?
It really and truly does belong to everybody, and everybody has some responsibility for it, said Rich Permenter, recently retired chairman of the marine commission. The sense I get is that everybody thinks the lake belongs to them, and Im not sure thats a bad thing.

Ellison named to Democratic whip team
By Devin Henry | 01/04/13
Minneapolis Democrat Keith Ellison is the newest member of the House Democratic whip team.
A whip and his deputies help count the party's votes and convince members to vote with leadership on legislation. Ellison will be a "Chief Deputy Whip" in the 113th Congress, one of 10 serving under Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland.
Ellison is the co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and will, in theory, be especially influential with the liberal members of the Democratic caucus. He voted with leadership 94 percent of the time over the last two years, though he broke with his party on a handful of high-profile pieces of legislation.

Decent accommodations. Very nice pool and sauna. Very helpful English speaking staff. Somewhat close to a metro station. About 15 min walk.
Wifi did not work at all in the first couple of days. Once that was fixed, it was a bit slow. A bit far away from the touristic attractions.
Rooms are very tidy, good beds and clean sheets. Large and clean toilets. Air conditioning and everything working well. Good Gym, and breakfast was ok too.
The hotel is located a little far from the metro station San Paolo, it was a long walk with all the luggage (the Hotel is on top of a little hill). No minibar in the rooms. Breakfast was good, but they have no real coffee!!
nice staff good breakfast clean room
The staff at the reception desk were all very, very helpful no matter who was manning the desk. Free wifi and water in fridge
Hotel is about 15 mins from metro downhill. Bus stop is close by though but buses I learnt are not timely . No shops or restaurant around the hotel. We had to work towards the metro. Kitchen staff except for a slim girl in glasses were generally very unfriendly. You get the impression, they hate their jobs or don't want to cook at all. This showed in the breakfast offered. Very poor quality breakfast,very poorly presented. 'Fruits' were so soggy-looking, I believe they're canned. For a 4 star hotel the only choice of egg was boiled egg, seriously? You will pay extra for any other choice. Orange juice will cost you 2 euros extra in this 4 star hotel. These are strange pricing strategies to me. Didn't come across these in the other Italian hotels we stayed. Same poor breakfast offering for the 4 days we were there.For Sundays, restaurant is closed for lunch and dinner, really? With nothing else close by and most places closed on Sundays? Room never cooled enough and was cramped for 3 people. Again, double room sold as a triple room. The water in the fridge tasted stale, we didn't bother with it.
The gym
nice and piece full
haveing to pay €60 exter that i did not know about.
nice big rooms as described , very good wifi in the room , big balcons, to metro station only 7-10 minutes walk
in breakfast coud be vegetables , and more smiles from waitress
Location of the hotel is good, 10mins. walk to Marconi metro station.Staff is friendly.Free car parking of hotel is secure.
Breakfast may be better. One of the electrical plugs was not functional.
Staff & facilities
Location lots of train trips
Close to a Metro (subway) station so easy to get into the city attractions. Staff were really helpfull. Easy parking.
No place to sit outside in the sun.
Size of the room, quite area
Pool opening hours aren't the best possible, far from the center
Very kind and helpful guys on reception. Close to metro (7min walk). Calm area even during a day. Nice rooms, big bed. Free of charge bottles of water in rooms fridge (daily added).
Great location - nearby Metro station. Fantastic fitness room, hotel has its own parking. Good breakfasts, good value for the money.
I like stuff at the front they were willing to help with everything
So called breakfast, stuff in the kitchen were slow. Choice of eggs and amount of eggs did not exist. Just terrible, worst that I ever seen in anywhere in the world! Pool has the schedule and I am not talking 9 to 9 .I am talking about been open for 1 hour at the time. Terrible! Location wise you have to know you way around, easy to get lost.Food in the area unavailable and choices are bad!!! Stay away from that area.
Free parking and the staff are all mannered and polite and speak good english Close to the metro and and some shops,
Resturant could have a better selection.
The staff was great, delicious morning breakfast, great room and service. Great value for money! Metro station is 7 minutes walk away from the hotel from which you can get anywhere in Rome.
Wi-Fi was not great at all, but this seems to be a problem all over Rome not just at the Hotel.
Excellent gym. Good location in a relatively quite neighborhood of Rome, but very close to the center. Definitely recommend.
Quiet residential area but then not too far from metro line.
free parking
Only central AC. Windows can not be opened for noise from the building opposite the hotel at night. Noise from the next room through the connecting door.
The room as large and clean. The breakfast was average.
The pool was not open and the gym closed at 1.30 on a Sunday. The resturant was closed for a function and we were only told when we got there. The pool has funny opening time due to it being part of a gym and the gym uses it. And the hotel staff don't seam to know what is going on with the pool. We only booked the hotel to use the indoor pool so all in all we wasted our money and we will not stay there again.
Nice, comfortable business hotel in a quiet area. Chosen because it was close the venue of the conference I attended. Good breakfast.
Breakfast area was a bit uncomfortable due to unneccesary use of airconditioning. The hotel is not ideally located for exploring the sights of Rome. There is a 10 minute walk to the metro and 4 stops to the center (i.e. Colosseum).
Friendly staff.
Very low internet connection in the rooms. Air condition was on all the time, to switch it off I had to go down to reception, I couldn't do it manually from the room. Very uncomfortable showers.
Clean and comfortable.
There was no flexibility in the breakfast times, it was the same throughout the week. The restaurant staff was rude if people did not leave the breakfast room at 10 o'clock. They turned down the tea machine and so on. There was not tea and coffee making facilities in the room, the tea from the vending machine was no good. It was not so close to the Metro station. It was ideal for people who came to attend conferences at the university. In other words, it was not close to the city center.
Everything accept buffet
Quality of food is not compatible with a gorgeous Italian gastronomy. Chief-cooker either don't want to cook, or don't know how. This primarily concerns suppers, which are too expensive and too tasteless even for hotel restaurant
Helpful, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Free bottles of drinking water provided. Built-in room safe. Quite clean and comfortable. Free WIFI use everywhere in the hotel. Firm foam mattresses provided comfort and adequate back support which was ideal for people with lower back pain like us. Although location is quite far from central Rome, there was a metro station (Basilica S. Paulo) which is about 10 (without baggage) to 15 (with baggage) minutes walk.
We stayed there for 4 nights and the first 2 nights there was no hot water which made it uncomfortable for us especially on the second night where it was very sweaty during a hot summer day in August. Also, during our stay, the swimming pool was unavailable probably due to maintenance. Air-conditioning could only be controlled by receptionist which meant we had to call him a few times in order to obtain optimum temperatures for evening and sleeping times.

Could the Steelers worst nightmare be about to come true come true? For three years, nary an offer was made on a restricted free agent in the NFL. Part of that is due to the lockout uncertainty regarding the CBA.
But another part of it was due to the fact that for whatever reason, in today's NFL draft the potential and promise held by picks seem to more valued than experience.
Doug Legursky and Ramon Foster joined the Steelers as rookie free agents. When they reached restricted free agency a year ago Pittsburgh rolled the dice that they could offer them original round free agent tenders which would have entitled the Steelers to zero compensation.
The Steelers gamble played off in spades. They left two proven players virtually unprotected, got both men back, and both where there when the Steelers needed them to start.
This year the Steelers made the same gamble with restricted free agents Emmanuel Sanders, Issac Redman, and Steve McClendon.
- After at least one false start, the New England Patriots made a run at Sanders, forcing the Steelers to pony up and match the offer for Sanders.
- Unfortunately now one has.
BTSC's source is a tweet from Ravens Insider, but Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Mark Kalboy of the Pittsburgh Tribune Review have commented on the Twitter feed, lending credibility to the story, although neither of the two dailies is carrying the story on their website, or is there mention of it on ESPN.
Ed Bouchette, however did go so far as to suggest this:
"@nollschooled: @edbouchette Packers gonna pay McLendon more than Hamp is gonna cost?" ... Steelers tendered Mac more than Hamp wd cost
— Ed Bouchette (@EdBouchette) April 18, 2013
While Casey Hampton did show he had something left and appeared to get stronger as 2012 progressed, the Steelers have said they were not planning to resign him.
Steelers Hamstrung by the Salary Cap
It promises to be a stressful 48 hours on the South Side of Pittsburgh. The Steelers have no money to match an offer for Steve McClendon's. And unlike Emmanuel Sanders, there is zero depth at nose tackle as the only other nose tackle they have under contract is Alameda Ta'amu, who recently pleaded guilty to a number of charges tied to a drunken rampage from last October.
If an offer for McClendon does materialize, the Steelers would have no choice but to cut a veteran player and/or take another step towards ensuring that they reach salary cap hell by restructuring yet another contract.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2014
Where did the English Warlick family come from? What is the English Warlick family crest and coat of arms? When did the Warlick family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Warlick family history?
Spelling variations of this family name include: Warlock, Werlock, Worloch, Worlock, Warwloche, Warlocke and many more.
First found in Cambridgeshire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1279 when Nicholas Warloc held estates in that shire.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Warlick research. Another 173 words(12 lines of text) covering the years 1201, 1290, 1327, 1455 and 1487 are included under the topic Early Warlick History in all our PDF Extended History products.
More information is included under the topic Early Warlick Notables in all our PDF Extended History products.
Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: settlers who were recorded from the mid 17th century in the great migration from Europe. Migrants settled in the eastern seaboard from Newfoundland, to Maine, to Virginia, the Carolinas, and to the islands..
The Warlick Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Warlick Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

Watch South Park – Obama Wins! Online S16E14
South Park has certainly seen its ups and downs this season, featuring both moments of brilliance and mediocrity. Fortunately, "Obama Wins!" brought out the big guns and delivered strong, mostly thanks to the serendipitous timing of two very important events: the 2012 General Election… and the Disney buyout of Lucasfilm. Of course, when you really think about it, Matt Stone and Trey Parker would have been idiots not to combine these two topics for their season finale.
Having said that, expectations were high following the announcement that Season 16 would conclude with another election episode. After 2008's "About Last Night…" — an episode that showed Barack Obama winning the presidency one night after the election had actually occurred — one couldn't help but wonder if they could possibly top themselves, especially on such a tight deadline. Thankfully, they did, and that decision paid off in spades. Indeed, Cartman's ballot heist was almost clever enough to work on its own (as do most episodes painting his character as an evil mastermind). But in addition to this, Matt and Trey had their ace in the hole, and that was Star Wars.
Truthfully, this episode did feel like it was structured to work regardless of which candidate won the election, and that was a smart move on the creators' part. Fortunately, most of the plot points were centered around Cartman's hidden ballots and his under-the-table negotiations with Disney and the Chinese. However, there were just enough references to the election to make this episode feel up-to-the-minute; details like including the hair flag lady, for instance, were a nice touch. Likewise, depicting Governor Romney as the s***-quacking duck from last season's "You're Getting Old" was not only a stroke of genius, but probably a joke that would have been cut had the election panned out otherwise.

Watch South Park – A Scause For Applause Online S16E13
The best kind of South Park episodes tend to not be measured on how consistently funny it is through formula but through how the quickest jokes splice together well within a clever story. This season's penultimate story returned the show to its soapbox ways and that is said in the best of light because "A Scause for Applause" had a lot to say and it did so very well.
As we've witnessed in the news, Lance Armstrong has been on the receiving end of a seeming with hunt, to destroy his impeccable reputation. Let's not get into those details. The message here is how we deify these icons, their cause, and what happens when the icon is tainted. Do we abandon the cause? Well, usually, because another rubber bracelet is already being made for the next cause.
Then came the delightful surprise that the bracelets didn't read "Live Strong" but "What Would Jesus Do" instead. Jesus works very well as a metaphor for Lance Armstrong, as they are oddly worshiped in similar ways. When Stan refuses to get rid of his bracelet, the world embraces his courage and starts wearing "Stan Ground" bracelets. Cartman of course is wearing bracelets for just about every cause out there. This is what South Park does best, have fun with relevant issues.
There are some funny gags throughout, especially when SOUTH PARK uses Dr. Seuss and his unique storytelling to hit home the episode's theme. However, "A Scause for Applause" tackles familiar comedic targets that Trey Parker and Matt Stone have mined with much better results in so many episodes. It's all just lukewarm and not very clever.

Watch South Park – A Nightmare On Face Time Online S16E12
It's been some time since SOUTH PARK has done a Halloween episode, but it was worth the wait as Trey Parker and Matt Stone come up with a new classic with "A Nightmare on Facetime." Sending up THE SHINING, Blockbuster Video's financial woes, The Avengers and our obsession with Apple products, there's enough good will here to provide ample laughs and a great story to boot.
This arc was also boosted by an strong B story featuring Stan and the boys as Avengers, in addition to a rather ingenious FaceTime plot device. For Randy and the store, there were some excellent sight gags hearkening back to The Shining. The "bartender" scene in particular struck me as one of the stronger moments of the episode. I also enjoyed Randy's "Jack Torrence" daze as he blankly stared at a clip from Ted — and kudos to the animators for nailing Jack Nicholson's classic facial expression.
There's plenty that can be said about the quantum leap in accessible technology that transformed a multi-billion dollar industry into something that Randy can own for $10,000. But South Park chooses to demonstrate that gap through the persistent sight gag of Stan Marsh having to trick-of-treat via FaceTime. Randy isn't left behind because he stubbornly holds onto preexisting values that he's had to maintain in the face of encroaching technology.
Randy begins to lose his shit as ghosts and madness drive him into a SHINING mental breakdown. Meanwhile, Stan is virtually kidnapped, then virtually attempted murdered, and virtually illegally dumped in a landfill by Redbox bandits, but then virtually saved with but a scratch. Though, in the real world SHINING Randy takes over virtual Frankenstein Facetime Stan and goes on a virtual actual rampage. Then Blockbuster burns down. Chicken nuggets.

Watch South Park – Going Native Online S16E11
Often times South Park tries so hard to be topical and "parody" things all the time, that you begin to expect parodies even when there is none. And sometimes, when they are sending something up – it can get quite obscure and then you feel like a complete idiot for not even getting the point of the episode.
Would they basically structure a whole unrelated plot around maybe a few snide references to him and the movie Argo, then at the end have a joke at his expense be the solution to the protagonist's problems? South Park would, and that's what "Going Native" accomplished.
The big problem with this Hawaii plot wasn't so much the setting, but the fact that it solely relied on one in-joke. While I'm sure there are plenty of obnoxious Hawaiian "natives" like the ones depicted in this week's episode, the premise just wasn't broad enough to sell to an entire audience. Admittedly, yes, the sight of obvious tourists posing as indigenous Hawaiians is definitely funny, but only for the first few minutes. Following Butters' destruction of the cruise ship — which was easily the highlight of the episode — it was pretty much downhill from there, as the natives continued harping on the same Mahalo Rewards card bit.
His parents then tell him that to get rid of his anger he must travel to his homeland of Hawaii and undergo a coming of age ceremony. Naturally, the natives on Hawaii are tourists who have racked up so many reward points that they just live there. It is a funny little joke that is probably pretty true.
Mr. Stotch isn't surprised though. It turns out the problem "has to do with biology." Butters has to return to his birth place, Hawaii. Butters' anger issues can't be righted by anything but this mystical journey. "It's a cultural thing," explains Butters' dad.

Watch South Park – Insecurity Online S16E10
This is an episode of South Park where the pop culture reference(s) take a back seat and the small town mindset of being cut off from the world runs rampant. The plot is self-contained, focusing on the characters and their reactions to occurences within the town itself, rather than QVC, The Royal Family or a Presidential election (although I hope they tackle this topic again). These things happen way outside of South Park. But like in the episode "T.M.I." (where men's penis sizes are called into question), the residents of South Park react to "something small" and escalate the issue to an insane level. That's what happens here when Kyle is concerned his mother is having sex with the UPS man.
Things kick off when Ike sees a UPS man having sex with his mom (what he doesn't know is his dad playing dress up). When Stan 's dad overhears Kyle talking about this, he hooks up with other dads who are convinced the UPS man is having sex with their wives too. So they dress up as Bane from THE DARK KNIGHT RISES are start to harass and beat the UPS man up.
The connection is confirmed when Randy and the guys speak with an old man at the bar who compares their predicament to his own confrontation with the Milk Man, who made life easy by bringing milk straight to everyone's doorstep and then slept with their wives. The connection to Batman is drawn simply in the way the old man emphasizes each syllable in the words "the milk man," mirroring perfectly the way Nolan's characters say the words "he bat man."
The guys' interaction with the sage-like Pet Cemetery character was another highlight from this story. His warnings against the hedonism of delivery men and their torrid love affairs with housewives were among some of the best moments this week. I particularly enjoyed his UPS guy/milk man comparison. ("Would you like that milk pasteurized?") This, followed by the progressively more intense and Bane-like assaults on the UPS man, made for a really fun arc.

Watch South Park – Raising The Bar Online S16E09
On this week's South Park, Kyle agonizes over how our standards have gotten so low, Token becomes a maniacal reality television show producer, Honey Boo Boo has her heart replaced with a pig's, Michelle Obama beats up Cartman, and James Cameron literally raises the bar (thanks to his trusty Deepsea Challenger). The concept was fun enough, and yet "Raising the Bar" ended up falling somewhat flat despite some great jokes and a little bit of navel gazing, mainly due to repetitiveness and the fact that Kyle didn't actually seem to care.
This is an enormous episode, containing references to mobility scooters, obesity, Honey Boo Boo, Michelle Obama and her campaign against childhood obesity, James Cameron and Randy Newman. It also includes a subplot wherein Token finances a documentary about Cartman's obesity and secretly turns it into Fatty Doo Doo, the new reality TV hit. I began to think, was there a filmmaker out there who saw Honey Boo Boo's family and thought, "this is the perfect example of how America is eating itself to death. This will be a searing documentary and I will be heralded as the new Ken Burns!" Then some asshole at TLC (The Learning Channel for some strange reason) decided, we can exploit them! (TLC is really good at exploiting the worst parts of society).
Token offers to pay for a documentary revealing Cartman's entitled ways if Kyle agrees to film Cartman. However, when Kyle presents the documentary, he discovers Token had created a documentary reality show designed to compete with TLC's "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." The boys watch bits of South Park's take on the child star's show, in which the mother cooks the infamous meal of spaghetti with butter and ketchup. Later, Honey Boo Boo suffers a heart attack and picks out a pig heart which her mother worries will hurt her chances in pageants.
The real highlight of this episode, though, was James Cameron's underwater expedition with the intent of literally "raising the bar." Apart from his awesome theme song ("No budget too steep, no water too deep. Who's that? It's him! James Cam-er-on!"), I think it was Cameron's interplay with the skeptical crewmen that really sold this bit. However, to call it a "lampooning" wouldn't exactly be fair considering Cameron's ultimate success — and he didn't even take any credit! ("James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is… James Cameron.") Even still, his pompous ego and notorious self-entitlement definitely came across, and really, what more could you ask for in a South Park caricature?

Creative Ziio 7-inch £199.99
8th Feb 2011 | 14:30
A budget Android tablet that more than justifies its own existence
Creative Ziio 7-inch: Overview
Tablets are the next big thing! They're brilliant! They're wonderful to use! They're super-convenient and awesome!
That's what everybody is saying, isn't it? But where are all these brilliant devices that everyone's been squawking so loudly about?
It's fairly safe to say that the tablet market hasn't exactly exploded in a whirlwind of fiery, world-beating über-tablets. Not yet, anyway.
Until the likes of the BlackBerry Playbook, the Motorola Xoom and the Asus Eee Pads finally make their way onto the shelves and into our homes (not long, now), we're left with a fairly disjointed-looking product line-up.
The latest Android tablet to grace the TechRadar office is the Creative Ziio 7-inch. It was announced last year alongside the Creative Ziio 10-inch, which has yet to hit the shops.
At just £199, it's one of the cheapest Android tablets available. So is it a bargainous wonder, or is it a dead touchscreen dog?
The specs don't promise much. This is a tablet running a slightly modified Android 2.1, a resistive touchscreen, no 3G connectivity and no Android Market.
Can it recover from that fairly so-so start?
Creative Ziio 7-inch: Features and performance
Creative Ziio: Features and performance
The Creative Ziio 7-inch is a budget Android tablet, and as such it's not exactly what you'd call feature-rich.
At £199, it's one of the cheapest Android tablets you can find, so you should fully expect some corners to have been cut. We'll get to that in a second.
First, the specs. The Ziio is powered along by Creative's own ZiiLABS ZMS-08 processor which sits alongside 512MB RAM - the same as the iPad 2. Storage comes in 8GB and 16GB flavours (the latter is exclusive to Creative's UK retail website), while additional hardware features include stereo speakers, a microSD slot for storage expansion, a front-facing camera and an accelerometer.
On the top of the device you'll find a mini-USB connector, a mini-HDMI port for outputting to a TV, a microphone, headphone slot and the on/off/standby button.
The left side houses the micro-USB slot.
The bottom is where you'll find the small 5V charging port, as well as four touch buttons for search, home, settings and back.
And the right hand side is the home of the volume controls.
The screen
The first sacrifice, and it's a biggy, comes in the form of a 480 x 800 resistive touchscreen.
Resistive screens are cheaper to manufacture than capacitive ones. They work using two thin sheets with a microscopic gap between them, layered up on top of the panel. When you press the screen, the two sheets touch each other and the device is alerted to the presence of a finger in need of immediate assistance.
Some resistive screens we've tested really are diabolically awful. Most work a lot better with a stylus than with a finger, and many are an unresponsive waste of atoms.
Creative risked a lot by putting such a screen in the Ziio, but it actually hasn't hampered performance much at all. The screen is quite responsive. Indeed, even though the Ziio comes with a stylus in the box, you don't really need to use it – although it does help.
It responds more keenly to a stylus poke than it does to a prod from a finger, but on the whole the responsiveness wasn't a problem. Menus react promptly and there's not much lag at all. The screen is sensitive enough without having to push at it – a gentle touch is usually enough.
That doesn't mean it's a good screen though, oh no. The LCD panel underneath the touch-sensitive layer is a fairly average effort at best.
The 480 x 800 resolution is much lower than the Galaxy Tab's 1024 x 800 on the same size panel. This means that sharpness suffers a great deal, and watching videos and viewing images on the Ziio is a far less rewarding experience.
Even though the player can play back HD video files, the end experience is far from being a high definition one.
The viewing angle is also rather poor. You can hold it in front of you and the person sitting next to you can barely see what's on the screen. If you're the bashful sort who likes to sneakily watch a couple of episodes of Glee on the train without anyone knowing, this could be a good thing.
But if showing your mates video montages of cats playing cricket is more your thing, the viewing angle can be a right old pain in the 'nads.
Put it this way, if you show the Ziio to your friends, you might wow them with some of the features, but they're not going to be impressed by the screen.

Battery life on the Ziio was satisfactory without blowing us away. The stated battery time is 25-hours of MP3 playback and 5 hours of video playback. We were able to play with it on and off for a whole day without having to recharge although we suspect with the screen brightness turned up that battery would have drained in just a few hours.
The software on the Ziio is a faintly-modified version of Android 2.1 which we probably don't need to tell you is now a year out of date.
We're told that an update to Android 2.2 is incoming, but we won't be holding our breath for the much more tablet-friendly Android 3.0, which isn't due out probably for another month or so.
The main problem with the software as it is is that it lacks the core Google apps that make Android such a decent operating system. There's no Gmail app, no account syncing, and no Android Market. And that means no easy access to the thousands of apps inside it.
It's also got a mild case of the bipolar disorder which seems to hamper all non-phone devices running Android at the moment. It doesn't know what it is. While the Galaxy Tab constantly refers to itself as a phone, the Ziio repeatedly referrs to itself as the "Ziio or Zen Touch 2".
The Zen Touch 2 is a smaller Android-running Creative PMP that's running on the same platform. Why Creative couldn't at least have tweaked the software on each device, we don't know.
Creative is marketing the Ziio as a "pure wireless entertainment tablet", and this is where it's at its most interesting.
The Ziio is designed to wirelessly stream music to other wireless devices using Bluetooth and apt-X. The apt-X codec is designed to enable the transmission of audio wirelessly without a loss in fidelity.
Creative already has a range of wireless speakers and headphones out there, and the idea is that you can connect them up to the Ziio.
It's not totally straightforward, though, because Creative has a range of both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz speakers, and only the ZiiSound range of Bluetooth speakers will be able to hook up to the Ziio.
Of course, to get this working properly you're going to need to load your Ziio up with content. It's easy to do – simply plug the Ziio into your computer, and drag your music, video and picture files into the relevant folders on the Ziio's storage.
It supports a wide range of audio formats including: MP3, AAC, WMA9, FLAC, OGG, ADPCM, MIDI, WAV and Audible Format 4.
Supported video formats include: H.264, MPEG4, WMV9, MJPEG, MOV, AVI and MKV.
Wireless streaming works very well, but it's not as much of a unique feature as Creative might have you believe. Any Bluetooth-enabled device can pair with Bluetooth speakers.
Out of the box, the Ziio 7 has no Flash support, which means no YouTube videos. It's a bit of a pain.
You can remedy this by installing an alternative browser, but it's certainly not ideal.
The Ziio packs what Creative calls 'Pure Android Audio' which uses Creative's X-Fi technology to improve the sound quality of compressed audio files, such as MP3s.
The X-Fi Crystalizer and Expand settings are both present, and you can turn their effects up and down as well as switching them off completely. They make a difference too – we've always been a fan of X-Fi, mainly because the crystalizer can make even 192kbps MP3s sound half decent.
The browser on the Ziio is standard Android fare. Despite the Ziio's cheapo resistive screen, browsing is actually fairly smooth and easy.
You don't have to aggressively poke at the screen in order to get it to respond to scrolling – but it wouldn't be accurate to say it's as comfortable to use as the capacitive screens on the (albeit more pricey) Galaxy Tab or iPad.
And talking about scrolling, it's a fairly smooth affair. It's far from the jolty, laggy scrolling you get from most budget tablets.
Creative Ziio 7-inch: Verdict
Creative Ziio: Verdict
The Ziio is not a premium product. It's not going to win any awards for performance or functionality – and certainly not for its looks – but as a budget tablet it's a decent piece of kit.
We liked:
At 412g, it's not too heavy. While it could be thinner, the Creative Ziio is a reasonably sized tablet.
The price is a massive part of what makes it worth considering. At £199, it carves itself a niche in exactly the same way that most budget tablets don't.
The sound quality is excellent and the presence of X-Fi is a big bonus. However, chances are you're unlikely to sit around listening to music on the tablet.
We disliked:
The screen is horrible and it's not a great-looking tablet in general. The lack of Android 2.2 is also a drawback, especially when you consider the absence of the Android Market and all the standard Google apps.
It also takes an uncomfortable length of time to wake the device once it's gone into sleep mode. Where other tablets are instant-on, the Ziio takes at least five seconds to respond when you press the standby button.
There's also no native Flash support which is a bummer, and is likely to confuse some end users.
It's a long way behind the iPad and the Galaxy Tab in terms of overall usability. But at just £199, the Creative Ziio does offer great value for money. If you've got £200 to spend, you won't find a better tablet than the Creative Ziio.

United ease to victory
Manchester United threw down the gauntlet to Manchester City by reclaiming top spot in the Barclays Premier League with a comfortable 2-0 win at QPR.
Wayne Rooney scored his 15th goal of the season after just 52 seconds and the champions missed a succession of chances before Michael Carrick's first top-flight goal for almost two years all but sealed the points.
United could easily have scored six against a QPR side who twice went close themselves through Heidar Helguson and also saw substitute DJ Campbell miss the easiest of volleys.

When AT&T conducted a broadband test, customers often reduced their data use. Longer-term, he said, a pricing scheme based on usage is likely, though it will be determined by industry competition and regulatory guidelines.

Ok, so they charge $30.00 for 5GB of data. Let's be fair, they charge $6.00 per GB. Let them DO a usage based fee then. If you only USE 1GB, then you data bill is $6.00. Oh, WAIT, that's NOT what they are talking about. They are taking about a BASE $30.00 charge for the 1st byte, and $6.00 for every GB above that. I fail to see how the latter pricing plan is an INCENTIVE for users, that's a DISINCENTIVE.--Remember 1 in 4 people are retarded. 25% of Americans are Republican. Coincidence? I don't think so.
It's not even an issue of being on the cutting edge; it's an issue of investing in needed infrastructure. You can't just buy a vacant lot and magically produce a product without building a factory. Building that factory takes time and money, but it pays off in the long run. However, investors want profits NOW because they're usually not holding a stock long enough to realize any long-term gains, so they'd rather buy the land, then try to resell it for a quick buck. The short-term profit will be greater, but the long-term profit will be nil.I firmly believe that, had this mentality been at work years ago, many of the major companies we have today wouldn't exist. Investors would have demanded such high immediate profits that the companies couldn't have invested anything to build infrastructure.Not to start a political firefight, but, IMHO, this is an issue that plagues us as a country. In many areas, our infrastructure is either crumbling or simply hasn't been built properly. Everyone wants the lowest possible taxes, then they complain that roads and bridges are falling apart or the school systems are on financial life support. I'm no fan of taxes that are higher than they should be or excessive government waste, but if you want infrastructure for the future, someone is going to have to pay now. You can replace that aging bridge now on a reasonable schedule, or you can not spend the money and wait for it to be on the point of collapse, but then you have to build the new one in a hurry, which will likely cost more, plus you may have to reroute traffic if the old one has become unsafe, which causes headaches and congestion.People have become so accustomed to immediate gratification that no one wants to spend money now for a return down the road. It's a philosophy of, "I want my money now. Let someone else worry about the future."

State television reported that more than a dozen pagodas and stupas in five townships were damaged, and many of them had their so-called "umbrellas" atop the dome-shaped structures crash down.
The uppermost parts of the domes usually contain encased relics of the Buddha and small Buddha images, and sometimes jewels. Damage to them is taken as an especially bad omen.

Sein Win said police were guarding a damaged stupa in Mogok and its exposed relics.
Many people in Myanmar are superstitious, and it is likely that soothsayers will point out that the quake occurred on the 11th day of the 11th month.
State television also reported that the tremors shifted the Mingun Bell, which people in Myanmar claim is the world's largest functioning bell, off its base. The nearly 12-foot-high bell, which weighs in at 200,000 pounds, was installed in 1810 and is a popular tourist attraction at a pagoda outside Mandalay.
A resident of Naypyitaw, which is 225 miles south of the quake's epicenter, said several windowpanes of the parliament building had broken.
The epicenter is in a region frequently hit by small temblors that usually cause little damage. Myanmar suffered a quake of similar size in March last year near the northeastern border town of Tachileik. Last year's 6.8 magnitude quake killed 74 people and injured 111.
Residents of Mandalay contacted by phone said they were fearful of more aftershocks because the city has modern high-rise buildings that could trap people, unlike the mostly small structures in the areas worst hit on Sunday.
"We are afraid that another earthquake might shake at night," said Thet Su, a journalist in Mandalay. "I told my parents to run out of the house if another earthquake shook."
The quake was felt in Bangkok, the capital of neighboring Thailand.
It comes just a week ahead of a scheduled visit to Myanmar by President Barack Obama. He will be the first U.S. president to visit the one-time pariah nation, which is emerging from decades of military rule.
The disaster is the second to strike Myanmar's north in three days. On Friday, a tanker train derailed about 80 miles north of Shwebo, and at least 25 people were killed when overturned carriages burst into flames as they were trying to skim fuel from them.

Glovers to assess Berrett
Yeovil will assess the fitness of James Berrett before they prepare to welcome Rochdale.
The Glovers slipped back into the League One relegation zone following defeat at Sheffield United on Tuesday where they were forced to name just six substitutes after injured midfielder Berrett was forced to stay in Somerset.
