Super Racing
Vinnie Colgan heads for Queensland after severing ties with Tony McEvoy
- From: The Advertiser
- September 06, 2013
VINNIE Colgan has split from leading trainer Tony McEvoy after less than five months as his stable rider.
The multiple Group 1-winning New Zealand rider will seek more opportunities in Queensland when he returns to riding after being suspended at Wednesday's Balaklava Cup meeting.
Colgan partnered the McEvoy-trained Baby Boy to finish third behind Gris Caro in the day's feature event, the Balaklava Cup, before the pair combined to win the final race of the day with Zamerit.
"I'm leaving on a good note. We are both happy with the decision," Colgan said.
"We both had a good laugh when my last ride there for him won. It was a brilliant way to end."
During his SA stint, Colgan rode 14 winners from limited opportunities with McEvoy, who has moved the majority of his better horses to his newly established Hawkesbury stable in NSW.
Colgan's family is already based in Queensland and this was another reason for the move north.
"I have three brothers in Brisbane, plus I know a lot of people there, too," he said.
"I'm just going to ride work and see what happens. If it works out like I hope, then I would love to stay."Originally published as Vinnie Colgan heads for Queensland

Re: Blended family, Remarry finance questions
Try to do it by %. If he earns 75% of income and you earn 25% of income then you should pay 25% of the basics (cell phone, rent, food, utilities, etc) and he should pay 75%. I wouldn't do anything that may hurt both of you should one party fail such as joint CCs (joint bank accounts which require BOTH signatures may be done, but don't put all your eggs on one basket). Plan a joint budget, some savings (vacations and the like) and an emergency fund.
I'm sure it can work fine and will leave more money on the table for each of you compared with costs of living alone. Other areas such as car buying can remain the same (as in you will still be able to afford the same car as if you were single) or may even improve as there may be more money leftover.

|Guest appearance(s)
"Seahorse Seashell Party" is the second episode of the tenth season of the animated comedy series Family Guy, an episode produced for season 9. It originally aired on October 2, 2011 in the United States on Fox. The episode mainly centers around the Griffin family, who are riding out an oncoming hurricane. In their attempt to pass the time, they participate in numerous activities and games. After being condemned by her peers, Meg lashes out and confronts her family. Meanwhile, Brian consumes magic mushrooms which cause him to hallucinate.
"Seahorse Seashell Party" is the second part of the Night of the Hurricane block with The Cleveland Show and American Dad!. The episode was first announced by Seth MacFarlane at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con International. It was written by Wellesley Wild and directed by Brian Iles. Originally scheduled to air on May 1, 2011 as the sixteenth episode of the ninth season of Family Guy, the episode was postponed due to the April 25–28, 2011 tornado outbreak subsequently coinciding with the timing of the scheduled episodes.
Critical responses to the episode were negative, particularly for its humor and main plot. An estimated 6.91 million viewers tuned into the episode upon its initial airing, while also garnering a 3.5/8 rating in the 18–49 demographic according to the Nielsen ratings. The episode featured guest performances by Ioan Gruffudd, Dee Bradley Baker, Debra Wilson, Kat Purgal, and Colin Ford along with several other recurring guest voice actors for the series.
As the Griffins prepare for an approaching hurricane which had already hit Stoolbend, Brian decides to use magic mushrooms, to the curiosity of Stewie. As the mushrooms take effect on Brian, he has hallucinations and cuts his ear off, believing it would stop World War II. Stewie tries to take care of Brian, whose hallucinations become more overwhelmingly disturbing, to the point where he sees Stewie transforming into a hideous demon towering over him before he perceives himself in a grotesque, hellish world. During his nightmare sequence, Brian is continually attacked by various monsters resembling the Griffin family and Quagmire. He recovers when Stewie helps him downstairs to drink some water.
The rest of the family passes the time by playing charades and other games. Peter, Lois and Chris play a game of "finger-bang," until Meg joins in. They shun her, using the sexual connotation to insult and demean her and again later gang up on her when she disturbs Peter's humming by opening a soda can. At her limit after years of their abuse, Meg finally gets the nerve to turn on them.
She starts with Chris by calling him "a bastard" for being a terrible brother to her, berating him for all the ill treatment he has given her over the years, and how he never takes her side when their parents abuse her. Lois condescendingly tells Meg that she is simply taking her own problems out on everyone else invoking Meg to bring up her mother's delinquent past. Meg tells her that she is far from the perfect parent, harshly berates her for constantly and ruthlessly pointing out Meg's shortcomings. Lois tries to justify that she's a better person because of her past and she is open that she isn't the perfect parent, but Meg tells her that she's the farthest thing from and states how she has neglected to protect her from harm and guide her through life. Meg also informs Lois that when she turns 18, she may never want to see her again. This breaks Lois' heart and she finally admits that she's been a terrible mother to Meg. Finally, Meg turns on Peter who, unable to comprehend her insults, thinks that his daughter's argument is amusing, even when she points out Peter's destructive tendencies and that he would go to jail if someone could witness his negative treatment towards her. It dawns on Peter that he is being insulted when Meg calls him a "waste of a man."
A shocked Peter asks Lois to tell Meg to "knock it off," but Lois refuses because he didn't stick up for her. Within moments, Peter, Lois and Chris turn their abusive criticisms and insults on each other. Peter finally runs to his room crying, leaving Meg and Brian, who is now full recovered from his trip, to discuss what just happened. Despite Brian complimenting her for standing up for herself, Meg comes to the conclusion that her family cannot survive without a "lightning rod" to absorb the dysfunction, and the only way they can get along is if she continues to take their abuse. Brian tells her that she is more mature than her family. She then lies to them, saying that she was only taking her own problems out on everyone, restoring their egos and original opinions although she only did this to prevent further fighting and will return being abused by the family, as the hurricane heads for Langley Falls.
Before the episode ends, Stewie then breaks the fourth wall by telling the viewer about the dangers of drugs: "Tonight's Family Guy was a very special episode about drug use, but the simple fact is, it's no laughing matter. To learn more about drugs, visit your local library. There's probably a guy behind there who sells drugs."
Production and development[edit]
"There were talks initially of doing a crossover with all the characters from all the shows but it became a little bit of a conundrum because you have three different staffs, each of whom is used to writing three different sets of characters. This idea of an outside force that sweeps its way through all three shows seemed like a cool way to accomplish that."
The episode was first announced in July 2010 by series creator Seth MacFarlane at the Comic-Con International in San Diego, California.[3][4] Kevin Reilly, the entertainment president of the Fox Broadcasting Company, originally pitched the idea for the crossover, which was inspired by theme nights of comedy shows from the 1980s.[1][5] MacFarlane described the crossover event to be an "enormous challenge" and a "substantial undertaking"; he chose to do one central story line so that each writing staff would not have to write stories for unfamiliar characters.[1] MacFarlane was also willing to do another crossover event if this one receives successful ratings.[1]
In April 2011, executives of the Fox Broadcasting Company officially announced that "Seahorse Seashell Party" would air on May 1.[6] However, on April 29, it was announced that the crossover event would be removed from the schedule, in response to a series of tornadoes that killed nearly 300 people in the Southern United States.[5][7][8][9][10][11] The episodes were subsequently replaced by repeats of "I Am the Walrus" from American Dad!, "Brian Writes a Bestseller" from Family Guy, and "Ain't Nothin' But Mutton Bustin'" from The Cleveland Show.[7][11][12] MacFarlane agreed with the decisions after consulting with the executives of Fox, and a spokeswoman for the company later announced that the episodes would air the following season.[7]
"Seahorse Seashell Party" was written by Wellesley Wild and directed by Brian Iles. It features guest appearances from Ioan Gruffudd, Dee Bradley Baker, Colin Ford, and Debra Wilson. This episode marked Gruffudd's first guest appearance since the season eight episode "The Splendid Source"[13] and Wilson's first guest appearance since the season three episode "And the Wiener Is...".[14]
Cultural references[edit]
"Seahorse Seashell Party" features several references to media, music, film, and other pop culture phenomena. The episode's title references dialogue from the viral video "Drinking out of Cups" by electronic musician and composer Dan Deacon.
Peter mentions wanting to watch 'G.I. Jose', which leads to a cutaway parodying the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero public service announcements. Peter mentions the film Fletch while playing charades. One of the many passing-time gags involves Peter performing a sing-a-long to the opening chase music from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.[15] As Brian's hallucinations begin to worsen, Stewie attempts to calm him, reminding him that seeing Lady Gaga nude was a worst-case scenario.[15] Towards the end of the episode, a cutaway gag involving a confrontation between an African American woman and an Italian American man parodies the National Geographic's documentaries. A reference to the social networking site Twitter was also made by Stewie.[16]
"Seahorse Seashell Party" first aired in the United States on October 2, 2011 as part of the animation television night on Fox. It was preceded by episodes of The Simpsons and The Cleveland Show, while being succeeded by an episode of American Dad!. It was viewed by 6.91 million viewers upon its initial airing, despite simultaneously airing with Desperate Housewives on ABC, Amazing Race on CBS, and a game between the Baltimore Ravens and the New York Jets on NBC.[17] Total viewership for the episode was the highest out of its respective line-up.[17] "Seahorse Seashell Party" garnered a 3.5/8 rating in the 18–49 demographic, according to the Nielsen ratings, also becoming the highest rating of the animation television night on Fox.[17] Total viewership and ratings were significantly down from the previous episode, "Lottery Fever", which was watched by 7.69 million viewers and garnered a 4.1/9 rating in the 18–49 demographic.[18]
The main plot of "Seahorse Seashell Party" received negative reviews. Kevin McFarland of The A.V. Club wrote of the episode, "This far into the show's run, shifting to a much more dramatic bottle episode and reaching for emotional payoffs felt far too little too late."[19] He resumed: "Nobody cares about any member of the Griffin family the way we care about every last Simpson. I feel bad about Meg becoming the scapegoat. Not because she's a good character, but because instead of tweaking and working to make her appreciated or comically valuable, Family Guy spent years going down the path of least resistance and simply joined the fan chorus of hatred. One episode of pointed, forced justification for that shift doesn't change a thing."[19] McFarland concluded his review by giving the episode a grade of D+.[19] Similarly, Terron Moore of Ology felt that much of the episode was wasted. In his review, Moore stated that "Seahorse Seashell Party" was "an episode that spends a lot of time addressing something that didn't need to be addressed."[20] He gave the episode a 4.5 out of ten points.[20] TV Fanatic's Kate Moon was less negative of the episode, stating that even though Meg confronting her family in regards to her treatment was long overdue, she concluded that it felt contrived and uninteresting.[16]
Critics were polarized with the episode subplot. While McFarland expressed enjoyment of some of the animation of the episode, he asserted that it "fell flat."[19] Moon exclaimed that the subplot would have been more interesting had Stewie ingested the mushroom alongside Brian.[16]
The episode debuted in the United Kingdom on May 20, 2012, and achieved 1.6 million viewers. Although US reception was negative, UK critics praised the episode for its subplot animation and bold storyline.[21]

This marks a major – and unprecedented – victory as the congress repealed the "Monsanto Law," preventing threatened exclusivity on patented seeds to a handful of transnational companies.
Brazilian Movement Stands Up to Hydroelectric Expansion
By Jen B.
August 27th, 2014
Although the damaging impacts of hydroelectric development are widely known, the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy reportedly plans to construct 168 new dams by 2021, including the massive Belo Monte Dam.
Dina's Story -- Celebrating the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples
In honor of the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples I'd like to tell you the story of Dina Julaju Quiche.
Dina is a young, petite woman. Her calm demeanor and smile does not give any impression of her struggles as a single mother trying to raise four children on a 150 square foot piece of land.
Dams, Human Rights and Community Resistance: Interview with leaders of MAB
Thousands of families throughout Brazil face threats to their homes and livelihoods from large hydroelectric dam projects. Driven by corporate profit interests, the number of mega dam projects in Brazil has increase significantly in recent years, displacing farming and indigenous communities, diverting water from local communities, and increasing deforestation and methane emissions.
The Movement of People Affected by Dams (MAB), a Grassroots Partner, organizes among these communities. In this video Alexania Rossato and Josivaldo Alves de Oliveira of MAB talk about the challenges and successes of their work, about building sustainable grassroots movements, and the value of international solidarity.
Hungry for Land
Governments and international agencies frequently boast that small farmers control the largest share of the world's agricultural land. When the director general of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation inaugurated 2014 as the International Year of Family Farming, he sang the praises of family farmers but didn't once mention the need for land reform. Instead, he announced that family farms already manage most of the world's farmland – a whopping 70%, according to his team.

The Contamination of Native Mexican Corn Varieties by GM Strains
This presentation was given during the final thematic hearing of the Permanent Peoples' Tribunal in Mexico on "Violence against Maize, Autonomy and Indigenous Peoples' Rights" in November, 2013. Gabriela Linares Sosa is a member of the Union of Organizations of the Sierra Juarez of Oaxaca (UNOSJO), a partner of Grassroots International and a leading indigenous voice in efforts to unmask the presence of genetically-modified (GM) corn in the Oaxacan countryside.
Peasant Leader Brutally Attacked in Honduras
Grassroots International joins with our partners La Via Campesina-Central America in condemning the recent attack of Rafael Alegría which occurred on May 13.
Monsanto Meets its Match in the Birthplace of Maize
On April 21, a Mexican judge dealt a blow to the efforts of agricultural behemoth Monsanto and other biotech companies to open the country to the commercial cultivation of genetically modified (GM) maize. The ruling upheld the injunction issued last October that put a halt to further testing or commercial planting of the crop, citing "the risk of imminent harm to the environment."
In a fitting tribute to Mexican surrealism, Monsanto had accused the judge who upheld the injunction of failing to be "impartial." I don't know if the presiding judge smiled when he denied Monsanto's complaint, but I did.
I had just arrived in Mexico to look at the GM controversy, and I could tell it was going to be quite a visit.

This paper proposes a new approach to improve the amount of information extracted from the speech aiming to increase the accuracy of a system developed for the automatic detection of pathological voices. The paper addresses the discrimination capabilities of 11 features extracted using nonlinear analysis of time series. Two of these features are based on conventional nonlinear statistics (largest Lyapunov exponent and correlation dimension), two are based on recurrence and fractal-scaling analysis, and the remaining are based on different estimations of the entropy. Moreover, this paper uses a strategy based on combining classifiers for fusing the nonlinear analysis with the information provided by classic parameterization approaches found in the literature (noise parameters and mel-frequency cepstral coefficients). The classification was carried out in two steps using, first, a generative and, later, a discriminative approach. Combining both classifiers, the best accuracy obtained is 98.23% ± 0.001.

Climate News Roundup
Suntech Profit Doubles–Sales Up 76% – Investor's Business Daily. "China-based Suntech — one of the world's 10 largest solar companies — reported first-quarter earnings per share of 33 cents, more than double year-ago earnings of 16 cents. The company pointed to broad global strength and rising prices for its solar products, as governments dole out more incentives to fuel clean energy." As of 2008, Chinese probably the top manufacturer of PV, a technology that Americans invented.
Governor: Alaska to challenge polar bear listing – AP News. Alaska Governor Sue Palin announced that the state will sue to challenge the listing of polar bears as threatened species. She argued that there is not sufficient evidence to support the listing, claiming that polar bear numbers have increased over the last 30 years. "Climate models that predict continued loss of sea ice, the main habitat of polar bears, during summers are unreliable, said Palin, a Republican." Alaska is the state most painfully being transformed by climate change today — how sad that the governor is in such a state of denial.
G8 Greenhouse Gases Down in 2006, Only Russia Up – Reuters. "Greenhouse gas emissions by all the Group of Eight industrial nations except Russia fell in 2006 in the broadest dip since the world started trying to slow climate change in 1990, a Reuters survey showed"…but the 'dip' was only 0.6%. Experts are skeptical of any real policy changes, but rather attribute the dip to higher oil prices and a mild winter.
Toyota building $192M green-car battery plant – AP News. The plant will produce nickel-metal hydride batteries for gas-electric hybrid vehicles, including Toyota's best-selling Prius. Toyota is currently Japan's top automaker and the industry leader in hybrids.
Italy Embraces Nuclear Power – NY Times. Within five years, Italy plans to "resume building nuclear energy plants, two decades after a public referendum resoundingly banned nuclear power and deactivated all its reactors." The change reflects a "growing concern in many European countries over the skyrocketing price of oil and energy security, as well as the warming effects of carbon emissions from fossil fuels." This is certainly a better idea than building new coal plants!
Carbon Market Could be Worth 2 Trillion Euros in 2020 – Physorg.com. "The global market in CO2 emission rights could be worth two trillion euros (3.14 trillion dollars) by 2020 if the United States joins the scheme, analysis group Point Carbon said." Carbon reductions are the place to make money this century.

Every penny made from a carbon trading scheme is taken from the poor and hungry of the earth. And for what? A chimera of environmentalism? Somebody needs to get the story straight.
what are you talking about?
chimera, lol
The chimera is demonstrated by rising CO2 levels and dropping temperatures. Climate sensitivity to CO2 has been exaggerated and the mechanism of exaggeration is the mistaken water vapor feedbacks in the models.
He bet on the carbon.
He bet on the fear.
If he'd bet on Old Soleil,
He'd be a free man today.
I think I've never heard so loud,
The quiet message in a cloud.
If Italy wants to go with nukes, that's their mistake.
Let's not make it ours. Currently in congress HB 5632 is being debated. It would prevent the US from accepting Italy's already accumulated nuclear waste.
Enviro Solutions is the company trying to make this happen. This from a Nuclear Information and Resource Service (www.nirs.org) release:
"The company has asked the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for permission to import 20,000 tons of low-level nuclear waste from defunct nuclear reactors in Italy. The waste would be shipped through ports in South Carolina and Louisiana, incinerated in Tennessee, and then some of the waste would be sent to EnergySolutions' low-level nuclear waste dump in Utah for disposal."
This, in a nutshell, is the hypocrisy of nuclear power: Build it using somebody else's money, enjoy the benefits, and pass the problem on to someone else. And their children. And grandchildren.
Andy, read up on Pebble Bed nuclear reactors. They are safe and easily scalable and don't use the highly chemically reactive compound, H2O, to transfer energy.
France and Japan manage their nuclear waste.
Look waste is dangerous only because there is energy still in it. More effecient plants, and more effecient recycling will ameliorate the problem. For unprocessable wastes a solution is to dump them in the deep oceanic trenches, where nothing geological can happen to them for many half-lives except be silted over.
Finally, remember Sir Gaia, the Lovelock One. Even he recognizes that the so-called 'sustainable' energy sources cannot come on line in time to rescue the humans under his consumptive timeline of disaster.
What is it about you deniers? Are you allergic to fact; immune to reality?
You say:
"Climate sensitivity to CO2 has been exaggerated and the mechanism of exaggeration is the mistaken water vapor feedbacks in the models."
You obviously don't know anything about climate modeling, physics, or chemistry. First of all, there have been all manner of sensitivity analysese on all manner of parameters — including water vapor in climate modeling. Second of all, you can demonstrate the sensitivity of climate to carbon in two ways — at bench scale in simulations, and using empirical data from the geologic record. In both cases, the link is incontrovertible.
Knee jerk denialists need to spend some time reflecting why it is they are so willing to sacrifice future generations on the basis of their own non-scientific prejudices and biases. In fact, we all do. Behavior this pathological is simply not explainable in partisan terms — there's a deeper disconnect at work here.
The fact that some 30% of us are willing to cause the deaths of billions on a whim and an uninformed bias hides a darker truth about us, one we must all understand.
There is no experimental confirmation of the IPCC's climate sensitivity to carbon, and you don't understand the geological record, which is ambiguous. Also see Spencer's latest work on 'feedback' and water vapor. You are out of date; water vapor pretty clearly is not the positive feedback that the models have.
If the globe continues to cool, and the climate sensitivity to CO2 found to have been exaggerated, there will be deaths of many humans from starvation and freezing. If an unnecessary encumbering of carbon contributes to that holocaust, blame for the disaster will be easy to place.
So you see, we now have visions of dueling holocausts. In a warming world, yours may be more persuasive, in a cooling one, mine. And we are cooling, folks, for how long, even I don't know.
I am a geologist — believe me, I understand the geologic record. Like most of the ostrich club, you're just making stuff up and repeating it, as if by repetition, it becomes true. Sorry, reality doesn't work that way.
You're posts are not worth engaging — and you're embarrassing yourself, here. Manufactured BS might work on those conservative sites you obviously haunt, so maybe you should consider staying there.
At any rate, rant on with your fact-free posts if you like. I'm certainly not going to waste anymore time with your rot.
A wise decision, John.
Hey Joe,
Did you see the incredibly frustrating review by Freeman Dyson of "A Question of Balance" and "Global Warming: Looking Beyond Kyoto" in the newest New York Review of Books? Here's a couple of the more frustrating lines: "Environmentalism has replaced socialism as the leading secular religion." "Unfortunately, some members of the environmental movement have also adopted as an article of faith the belief that global warming is the greatest threat to the ecology of our planet."
I just wrote a response to the review in my blog, as well. It focuses on different issues from the realclimate response.
Joe wrote "Kim: Consider yourself banned from Climate Progress."
RE: news on Toyota's new battery plant.
I thought lithium ion batteries were the future?
Also, battery life seems to be a big deal in the hybrid vehicle world. I run my vehicles into the ground, replacing them only when the engine is done for. If a hybrid's engines lasted much longer than a typical internal combustion engine then I'd be willing to replace the battery pack after 10 years as long as it cost less than about one-forth of the total vehicle cost.
What about the longevity of the hybrid's other parts? The cooling system, ignition system, etc. Also, what about AC? You can't drive in Texas without a good AC system. It has to be able to work at idle while you're waiting on the wife to run into the store and the kids are in the back cooking in their safety seats.
Is there a good web site that discusses these sorts of issues?
Andy – You bring up important issues, but you can breathe easy.
Electric and hybrid vehicles are covered by a legally-mandated extended warranty. EV/hybrid vehicles sold in California with the PZEV/SULEV certification are required to have an extended 15-year/150,000 warranty for the entire electric propulsion subsystem, including batteries, electric motors, and controllers. The rest of the U.S. has a similar, though slightly less stringent standard (I think it's 10-year/80,000 miles).
Overall, hybrid car longevity should be as good or better than conventional cars. The only exotic aspect of the Prius cooling system is an insulated bottle that stores hot coolant to quickly warm up the engine the next time you start. If you think about it, this will increase the longevity of the engine. The coolant storage is little more than a Thermos bottle with valves.
The ignition system on the Prius is no different from other cars from Toyota.
The Prius does not have an alternator or starter motor. Both of these functions are performed by the motor/generators that are part of the electric drivetrain. The Prius performs its alternator/starter functions more gently than a conventional alternator/starter, putting less stress on the gas engine and increasing its longevity.
The Prius AC is electrically driven. You can leave your Prius in idle/park and the AC will run continuously. The gas engine will run for a few minutes at a time to keep the battery charged as the AC draws power.
The gas engine in a hybrid car is under less stress than in a conventional car. Whenever the power demand suddenly increases or decreases, the electric motor/generator kicks in to temporarily increase/decrease power. This allows the gas engine to speed up or slow down more smoothly than if all power is coming from the gas engine.
Thank you, Joe. I did give my website in my heading on the post, but here's the url for the direct link to my post on Freeman Dyson: http://alexandergreenberg.blogspot.com/2008/05/in-newest-issue-of-new-york-review-of.html I'm just a humble Ph.D. student (in the humanities, no less). I don't imagine anyone would be foolhardy enough to consider me an expert, but I want to issue that caveat.
Kim: Consider yourself banned from Climate Progress. You are filling up posts with comments that are irrelevant, sometimes unintelligible, and usually loaded with disinformation.
But Joe, you're _censoring_ legitimate debaaaaate! they'll cry.

Robust Coding of High Quality Audio Signals
Low bit-rate coding of high-quality digital signals found a tremendous acceptance in a wide field of standard audio applications. Until now this is not true for studio applications. In the studio lossy audio coding seems to be not acceptable. The paper presents a new coding schemewhich describes the advantages of low bit-rate audio coding and of lossless compression. An analysis by synthesis approach together with the approved time-frequency mapping of MPEG audio achieves mathematically transparent coding. An extension to near-lossless coding enables to combine a constant compression rate with the usability for studio applications.

Harman Said Near Deal for Washington Post's Newsweek
Sidney Harman, the founder of Harman International Industries Inc., is near a deal to buy the money-losing Newsweek magazine from Washington Post Co., three people familiar with the matter said.
Harman, 91, was chosen over bids from Fred Drasner, a former executive at U.S. News & World Report and The New York Daily News, and investment firm Avenue Capital Group, said the people, who declined to be identified because the sale isn't public yet. It may be announced as soon as today, one person said.
Drasner said in an interview he has been told Post Co. is near a deal with Harman.
"I wish him the best of luck," Drasner said. "I'm pleased somebody is going to devote this amount of resources to preserve serious journalism."
Post Co. said in May it was considering selling the weekly news magazine it has owned since 1961. The circulation of general interest newsmagazines, including Newsweek and Time Warner Inc.'s Time, has plunged as more readers seek their news from the Web, where stories are updated more frequently.
Donald Graham, chairman of the Post Co., and Tom Kuhn, managing director at investment bank Allen & Co., which was hired by Post Co. to manage the sale, couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
Two of the people said they didn't know the price Harman is paying for Newsweek. Harman agreed to keep most of the magazine's more than 300 employees on board once the sale is complete, the people said. The Post Co. agreed to cover the severance costs for any Newsweek employees the buyer didn't keep, making Harman's bid more valuable, the people said.
Operating Losses
Newsweek posted losses from 2007 to 2009 and its Washington-based owner predicted in May this year will be unprofitable, too. Newsweek redesigned the magazine last year and told advertisers it anticipated fewer guaranteed readers.
Post Co. rose $13.40, or 3.2 percent, to $433.89 at 4:04 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The stock has lost 1.3 percent this year.
Harman, who resides in California, is chairman emeritus of Harman International, the Stamford, Connecticut-based maker of audio equipment including the Harman Kardon, Infinity and JBL brands. He is married to U.S. Representative Jane Harman, who represents a Southern California district that includes Los Angeles-area cities Rancho Palos Verdes, Torrance and Venice.
Since 2007, Newsweek has lost $44 million on an operating basis, according to documents sent to prospective buyers. Print advertising revenue plunged 39 percent to $70.3 million last year from $115.5 million in 2008, the documents show.

Ever since I upgraded from 1.5 > 2.0 > 2.0.1 > 2.0.2 pingbacks and trackbacks have stopped working. I have no idea what to do about this. Am I the only one with this problem in version 2.0.2?
Ever since I upgraded from 1.5 > 2.0 > 2.0.1 > 2.0.2 pingbacks and trackbacks have stopped working. I have no idea what to do about this. Am I the only one with this problem in version 2.0.2?
It's not been reported here widely.
Has your host done anything?
When you upgraded did you do it all at once and overwrite files?
Thanks for the quick reply :-)
I did everything according to the upgrading instructions. I did not overwrite any files. The problem started when I went from 1.5 > 2.0. Upgrading to 2.0.1 and then to 2.0.2 did not help.
I also have updated to the most recent version of Spam Karma
2 did have a problem but that was cured in 2.0.1
As far as I know 2.0.2 had no changes that would affect this (I could be wrong on that) but like I said we've had few posts.
Where / how have you tried? Are you sure that you are not being blocked? You can test pings and tbacks to and from this blog if you want:
Be sure to log back in and check that nothing has been caught for moderation.
It seems as trackbacks are working but not pingbacks. Or maybe they just take a while before they are sent? Nothing has been caught by Spam Karma though.
One step forward anyway.
After reading this post I tested my blog, and pingbacks and trackbacks are not working for me either.
Well, I just received a pingback from the test site, but it took a little while. However, any trackbacks or pingbacks I have sent to the site are not showing up. And I haven't received any trackbacks from the site. And no, I'm not doing them at the same time.
I have tried sending trackbacks 2 both MichChick and frepa.org. None of the shows up as far as I can see. The trackback sent 2 http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/TestTrack shows up though.
I seem to be getting sporadic pingbacks, but have not yet received any trackbacks. And it looks like I'm not SENDING any trackbacks or pingbacks.
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I haven't had this issue before and probably wouldn't have realized it if it weren't for this thread.
I just wanted to add that this is a brand new installation of the latest version (downloaded it yesterday).
I trackbacked to your post. I have to assume it was sent because I tested one to my site and it worked.
Looks like the problem could be your host?
Scrub the above. Somethign weird is going on.
I am sending TRACKbacks to my own blog but they are coming in as PINGbacks... and I don't know why.
From what I can test:
Sending a trackback where the post URL - even if not clickable - sends a ping.
Sending a trackback where the post url is not in the post at all works.
I think.
I think we all can agree on that there is something wrong with both sending and recieving track- and pingbacks.
Well, at least I'm glad it's not just me doing something bone-headed. :)
when i refer to my own previous post with a link, i find that i will have a brand new comment to that particular post.
Just imagine a blog that hardly gets much traffic, with no feedback most of the time, then suddenly you get one, only to learn that its your own pingback. Arrgggh!
Is there anything that can be done?
It could be a problem with the execute-pings. I have found that WordPress always gives pingbacks precedence over trackbacks, which is backwards in my estimation; especially since most people link to articles (causing the pingback) and add a trackback to have their articles show up in the trackback section of the linked article.
The trackback in this case might never take hold because it would appear as a double ping to some sites and they suppress the second ping which is a trackback in this case (this is done to prevent comment spam).
You can simply replace the wp-admin\execute-pings.php file with the text below. Please back up the old file just in case you want to revert back. I encourage you to look at the structure of the replacement as it is a very simple mechanism. Once you do this both trackbacks and pingbacks SHOULD show up as expected.
THIS IS A WP 2.01 REPLACEMENT Please check the exact structure of your version before making any changes to this file. It works fine for me on 2.01. And as always BACKUP the original.
Bsically just change the order of Trackbacks to take precedence over pingbacks as demonstrated below.
// Do Trackbacks - TMT Moved Up to force Trackbacks ahead of pingbacks
$trackbacks = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE CHAR_LENGTH(TRIM(to_ping)) > 7 AND post_status != 'draft'");
if ( is_array($trackbacks) ) {
foreach ( $trackbacks as $trackback ) {
// Do pingbacks
while ($ping = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT * FROM {$wpdb->posts}, {$wpdb->postmeta} WHERE {$wpdb->posts}.ID = {$wpdb->postmeta}.post_id AND {$wpdb->postmeta}.meta_key = '_pingme' LIMIT 1")) {
$wpdb->query("DELETE FROM {$wpdb->postmeta} WHERE post_id = {$ping->ID} AND meta_key = '_pingme';");
pingback($ping->post_content, $ping->ID);
// Do Enclosures
while ($enclosure = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT * FROM {$wpdb->posts}, {$wpdb->postmeta} WHERE {$wpdb->posts}.ID = {$wpdb->postmeta}.post_id AND {$wpdb->postmeta}.meta_key = '_encloseme' LIMIT 1")) {
$wpdb->query("DELETE FROM {$wpdb->postmeta} WHERE post_id = {$enclosure->ID} AND meta_key = '_encloseme';");
do_enclose($enclosure->post_content, $enclosure->ID);
Anyone tried the above on WP 2.0.2? Would really like trackbacks and pingbacks to work
Hmm, this is all too weird lol. I was just having problems with this the other day, did a test of one and my own trackback ended up in the "Comments For Moderation". LoL!
Have the latest Spam Karma 2 and Akismet going. But, I could try that above code instead once..see what happens. =)
I just took a look and you can apply the same change to 2.02.
Back up the original file and just move the pingback block below the trackback block.
For me this works and was necessary due to the sites I linked up against. It would be nice to find out if the WordPress developers had a reason for giving pingbacks precedence over trackbacks. It could just be luck of the draw.
If in fact there is no reason perhaps an option on the write post page would make sense.
did a test of one and my own trackback ended up in the "Comments For Moderation"
Unfortunately this change doesn't address that issue. I have tried to suppress these to no avail although I only use akismet.
Hmmm.. =( I'm not sure of this or not, but like Viper says from here/down
About how the Spam Karma 2 and Akismet not playing well together, and he had to use that little plugin for it to work properly.. which I should [kickself] because I haven't tried that yet..
I'll have to here soon. Hopefully some time soon, we'll get this whole thing squashed. ;)
EDITED* Ok, I have now done that little plugin had mentioned. =D And disabled the normal Akismet one...
As I understand it the above solution is aimed at sending trackbacks. Is there anyone that has problems receiving trackbacks as well?
I have tried the solution above, but can still not either send or receive trackbacks.
Uppdate: I turned of the author highligt plugin and suddenly I can recieve trackbacks, but I can still not send TB.
I have now deactivated Inline Ajax Comments. I can now recieve trackbacks.
...or not. Sometimes I can receive, sometimes I can't.
I can't figure out the logic of this error
I'm new to WordPress, so bear with me.
I first activated WordPress (automatic installation from Blue Host) on March 17th.
From the start, I have never received anything from another site when they linked me. I could originally let them know I had linked them by entering the trackback URL in the post entry form. But that has completely stopped working now. I only know about links to me from TTLB, Technorati is NOT updating, either. It would seem there is some sort of bug at work here.
Using WordPress 2.0.2 here. Both Trackbacks and Pingbacks to the test site above worked just fine for me. Both Trackbacks and Pingbacks to my own site from the test site above also worked just fine for me. Pingbacks and Trackbacks to my own site also got through just fine.
There has to be something that's causing some of us not to be able to send trackbacks or pingbacks and others to have no problems. I can receive both pingbacks and trackbacks but can't send either one. I've tried to numerous blogs with admins who were looking for the comment. I've even tried to the test site above. Nothing.

The new home of
The Highland town of Lairg is at the crossroads to the most remote villages in Sutherland and is the perfect destination for a Highland retreat amongst stunning Highland fells, snowy peaks and boundless rivers and lochs. Visitors are drawn to this wilderness to get a real sense of the untouched, natural landscapes, thought to be amongst the most beautiful in all of Scotland.
Lairg lies on the southern shores of Loch Shin, surrounded by forest and only four miles from the Falls of Shin, where salmon leap upstream in a thrilling flock of migration. From Lairg you can travel north deeper into the wild through glens and traditional crofting settlements. Native wildlife and highland flora and fauna provide the setting for a wonderful array of country walks, hiking and horse riding trails, including through nearby Dalchork Forest.
From the centre of the village, cyclists can take the well-loved Assynt route to Loch Shin, taking in the breathtaking Scottish scenery. Highlights include the Suilven Peak and the ruins of Ardvreck Castle. Lairg is an excellent centre from which to explore the outer reaches of Sutherland. Travel west to the quaint craft shops of artisan Rosehall and further to the rugged coastline of Drumbeg and Nedd, or take a trip north west to visit the traditional fishing community at Kinlochbervie and the spectacular beaches of Durness.
The region is famous for golf, so heading east to the charming town of Dornoch will provide a contrast to the enchanting peace of Lairg. Here, Dornoch Cathedral nestles amongst gift shops, whiskey pubs and the excellent Royal Dornoch Golf Course.
Search for holiday cottages in Lairg and you'll discover the perfect cottage accommodation for your Highland escape.

Ok so if we setup a camera before the slit we will find a single photon and will follow through accordingly, likewise by having a camera setup after the slit, we can retroactivly collapse the wave function by observation. Here is my question. If we setup the camera to record like above but NEVER EVER EVER look at the result of what was recorded. Does the wave function still collapse. If so then perhaps its the camera causing it. If not then it is truly based upon the observer.
If you place a camera you will not see any interference pattern. So, the answer is yes. The camera will cause the wavefunction to "collapse". But I don't like the term "wavefunction collapse", because wavefunction is not really any physical object. What the camera will basically do is cause an abrupt change in the state of the particle.
Here is the defintion of measurement from Landau's book
The answer is that we just don't know. We can tell that the wave function has collapsed (in Copenhagen terms) only when we humans look at the system -- in the canonical experiment that means looking at the landing pattern to see if we have fringes or clumps. And even though in your example we are, on purpose, not looking at the "which path" information in the camera, it's not at all clear that what makes that camera information be "which path" information is not conscious observation.
But the problem is actually much deeper than that. It doesn't matter what if any "role" -- in the sense of a mechanism of interaction -- conscious observation plays in inducing collapse in the system. What matters is, saying anything about the system first requires a conscious observation. In science (as opposed to metaphysics, say, or mathematics) that -- our observations -- is the basis of what we say stuff about when we say stuff. So conscious observation is always in there, getting in the way, and leaving us uncertain - in fact in scientific terms, utterly clueless to be precise -- as to what part, if any, it's playing.
Re: @user774025's, Landau quote in which measurement is defined as "...occurring apart from and independently of any observer". That runs straight into one of the most fundamental challenges in science, not just QM[1], namely that science Just Is an activity performed by conscious observers. Landau's definition tries to de-couple science from the observer, but in doing that he is no longer talking about science. Science is the act of observation (plus a bunch of other things, of course[2]).
Consider: there is not a single scientific experiment, ever, that did not culminate in an observation by a consciousness[3]. So in science, the answer to the question:
is at very least
but in fact is probably better put as
And of course, once we've looked, we have "contaminated" our experiment with a conscious observation, and we cannot tell what effect that has had.
Which is why we don't know and cannot know if the not-looked-at-directly camera-based which-path detector caused collapse until we look at the electrons' landing pattern to see if collapse occurred at all. And by then, although we have confirmed collapse, we've added a new factor -- the looking.
We can never tell what an unlooked-at system looks like without looking at it, at which point it is no longer unlooked-at.
[1] The reason this kind of thing gets attention in QM is because experiments like double-slit served to highlight the problem by showing us a peculiar form of measurement error that is fundamentally different from the everyday kind, such as turning on a light so we can see to count how many cockroaches there are in a dark room. But the problem pre-dates QM, and in fact is fundamental to what science is -- in fact what observation overall is.
[2] For example, in the professional scientist's case: writing up those observations and their opinions about them, presenting them at conferences, kicking doctoral students into doing the same, and playing multi-user Call of Duty because although their current grant money is about to run out, and their doc-students are whining about it, they just can't face the prospect of another mind-numbing, morale-destroying, rather-poke-myself-in-the-eye-with-a-sharp-stick round of writing the next grant proposal.
[3] Even if we take an eliminative view of what consciousness is.
The following may help:
Suppose the experiment consists of Bob at hole 2 in the double slit experiment being able to open and close the hole instantly. Let the intensity be so low that on average only one particle at a time is in the apparatus. By closing the hole he ensures the particle must go by route 1 if it is to hit the screen. Now what happens if he manages to re-open hole 2 just before the particle is detected at the screen? From the quantum eraser experiments we know the answer:By repetition of the experiment the pattern built up at the screen is the interference pattern (case a). If the hole were closed at the time the particle is irreversibly detected at the screen then the pattern built up would not show interference at all (case b). The state of the apparatus at the exact moment of the irreversible detection of the particle at the screen determines if the particle is contributing to case a or case b pattern. Note that in this experiment Bob hasn't detected any particles himself but keeps a record of the time at which he opens or closes the hole which can be correlated with the particle arrival times at the screen. we can thus group the screen observations into two groups- those that occurred with the hole open and those with it closed. The first ones show the interference pattern the second do not. What happens if Bobs records are destroyed before the screen results are analyzed into these two groups? We see a mixed pattern of both a and b so interference fringes on top of high background which tends to wash out the fringes. The point is destroying Bobs information doesn't change the results which were observed at the screen. But those results were determined by the now lost information, they don't suddenly change.
There are occasions where there are no extant answers to a question so no references are available. Either the act of observation is totally passive, and as such cannot alter what is being observed, or it is active, in the sense of having some interaction with the system being observed. In the 1st case, waveform collapse cannot occur. In the second, the waveform collapses because of the 'active' method of observation. There is no other alternative. This is a typical 'paradox' in that a poorly framed question or experiment yields ambiguous or paradoxical answers. Similarly with Olber's and the speed of light.
I am still trying to wrap my head around this experiment. A photon has properties such as frequency and intensity and momentum and direction, even when the observer instrument has "collapsed" the wave function. So a free photon is definitely always a wave (not solid). The detector's measurements tell us that both the "collapsed" photon and the "wave" photon are identical. Same frequency, same intensity, same momentum. The only thing that changes is its direction of travel. Moreover, the placement of the detector whether in front or back or at the slits causes the wave to "collapse". It this some trick of time dilation or projection? Not really.
What all of this means is that the detector is not collapsing the photon itself. Rather, it is collapsing a "space field" that existed at the moment the photon was released. The photon rides this preexisting wave to determine its movement through space. This preexisting wave (space field) was centered at the point when the photon was originally released. This wave is, in my opinion, a space density pulse (expanding and contracting). The photon is simply following its space field's tiny differences in density as it travels until it strikes the detector. When the observer "collapses" the wave function, what we really see is that the photon did not follow its space field to determine its trajectory, but went in a straight line. The photon is uniquely tuned to this space field but is be aware of other photon's space field as they pass by. All photons of the same frequency and intensity are identical. See how lasers work video on youtube. This space field center instantly relocates to the photon's new location when the photon's energy is joined with a larger particle. I believe that all subatomic particles have a space field. I also believe that all subatomic particles have a twin somewhere in the universe and their spins are opposite. See spooky action at a distance. There are more things about this "space field" idea I am still thinking about. Hopefully it will explain many unsolved problems in physics and give us a better understanding of what space/time/mass/gravity are and unite Quantum Theory with General Relativity.

The Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption, designed to protect the best interests of the child in intercountry adoption, has been signed by 83 nations. We evaluate both the strengths and the weaknesses of the Convention in achieving this purpose and also in protecting a second vulnerable population, birth families. A case study example of the United States' implementation of the Hague requirements reveals several weaknesses with respect to non-Convention countries as sending nations, financial oversight, and oversight of foreign collaborators. International birth families, especially birth mothers giving consent to an adoption, are often vulnerable because of a lack of power and resources, as well as different cultural understandings of the nature of family and adoption. We conclude that in order to protect vulnerable children and birth families, individual sending and receiving countries need to supplement the Hague Convention with specific, contextually appropriate laws and regulations.

Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho
"Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho" (or alternatively "Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho" or "Joshua Fit de Battle of Jericho") is a well-known African-American spiritual.
The song is believed to have been composed by slaves in the first half of the 19th century. Some references suggest that it was copyrighted by Jay Roberts in 1865.[1] The first recorded version was by Harrod's Jubilee Singers, on Paramount Records No. 12116 in 1922 [2] (though some sources[who?] suggest 1924). Later recordings include those by Paul Robeson (1925), Mahalia Jackson (1958) Clara Ward and Hugh Laurie (2011) among many others.
Ralph Flanagan adapted it under the title "Joshua". Ralph Flanagan and His Orchestra recorded the spiritual in New York City on March 1, 1950. It was released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-3724 (in USA)[3] and by EMI on the His Master's Voice label as catalog numbers B 9938 and IP 604.
Early published versions include some parts in dialect, such as "fit" for "fought". The lyrics allude to the biblical story of the Battle of Jericho, in which Joshua led the Israelites against Canaan (Joshua 6:15-21). However, like those of many other spirituals, the words may also be alluding to eventual escape from slavery - in the case of this song, "And the walls came tumblin' down."[4] The lively melody and rhythm also provided energy and inspiration.[5] Critic Robert Cummings wrote: "The jaunty, spirited theme hardly sounds like the product of the pre-Civil War era, and would not sound out of place in a ragtime or even jazz musical from the early 20th century. The closing portion of the tune, sung to the words quoted above, is its most memorable portion: the notes plunge emphatically and impart a glorious sense of collapse, of triumph."[4]
