Nest, which was bought by Google (GOOG) earlier this year, won't be profitable for another 10 years.
According to Nest CEO Tony Fadell, the company that is looking to help people save energy with smart household items won't truly be profitable for another 10 years. He claims that the company isn't just there for a quick hit and a single product release to make money, but that it will stick around longer to continue its work with smart home devices, reports MarketPlace.
Nest has released a smart thermostat that adjusts temperatures based on schedules and if anyone is in the house. Fadell claims that this innovation in a home device could save people a lot of money. He also said that the company is working to develop other smart devices, MarketPlace notes.
Nest also recently bought Dropcam, a company that deals in video monitoring and security. The company claims it doesn't have many changes planned for the company other than adding its logo to the devices, USA Today notes.

We walked down the gangway and on to the Tarmac. I stood nonplussed by the noise of traffic, the sight of buildings, of trees. Two weeks before I had climbed up that same gangway, and on to a ship that would take me across an infamous stretch of water, to somewhere that for centuries was known simply as "terra incognita". I had arrived on the shores of places I had read about, seen photographs of; places synonymous with hardship and extraordinary human valour, with Drake, Cook, Scott and Shackleton. But all those books, the photos, the television documentaries narrated by the mellifluous tones of David Attenborough, none of them prepared me. There is, simply, nowhere on Earth like Antarctica.
We saw our first iceberg on our third day at sea. The much-feared Drake's Passage had proved smooth enough to allow us on deck to enjoy the soaring majesty of the occasional albatross and showy flying skills of the Cape petrels, with their distinctive mottled black and white wings which earn them the Spanish name "pintado".
Our first landfall was on the South Shetland Islands. The fog hung low, veiling the highest peaks in grey, swirling mystery. Chinstrap penguins awaited us on the beach; fearless, curious and as happy to pose for the battery of cameras as any seasoned celebrity.
It may have nothing like the biodiversity of a rainforest, or even an English garden, but the wildlife that inhabits the outer edges of the world's highest, driest continent is plentiful, accessible and largely benign. There are no toothsome hunters like polar bears to worry about, and despite decades of exploitation, which saw the killing of untold thousands of whales, seals and penguins, those same species of animals now give humankind unforgettable close and peaceful encounters that we surely don't deserve.
A female humpback whale and her calf cruised the frigid waters, lazily hoovering up great mouthfuls of shrimp-like krill. I sat with eight other people, in a small inflatable boat, amid towering chunks of floating ice, transfixed. In perfect unison, two smooth, steely grey backs broke the surface of the smooth, steely grey water, their small, blunt dorsal fins carving rippling furrows before vanishing.
"There they are again!" I cried, in a sort of awed stage whisper and for an hour the whales stayed within feet of our boat. The calf raised its strange, knobbly head clear of the water, spy-hopping, and then, perhaps aware that it had a captivated audience, proceeded to roll over, fin slap, lie on its back, wave its tail and occasionally raise its head clear of the water again as if to check we were still watching.
We ran out of superlatives, and sat, smiles stretched across our faces and tears in our eyes. And all around was Antarctica with its harsh, chaotic beauty.
"Is this your seventh continent?" someone asked and dimly I realised it was. But the otherworldliness of it now makes it almost impossible for me to believe I was there. It still remains terra incognita.

Nikon D7000 -settings for capturing action shots
Dec 17, 2013
I would be most gratefull for a step -by-step guide on the best settings to capture action shots and how to save them in the U1 setting.
The lens that I will be using will be the Nikon 16-85 initially although I hope to acquire the 70-200 F4 at some time in the future.
As I am ,as yet,not too familiar with this camera - a walk through guide would be of great assistance.

Begin Talk[edit]
I got the impression from my school geography books that a gorge has a river running though it while a canyon doesn't have one. Does having (or not having) a river make any difference to the definition of the terms canyon or gorge?
- I dont think so, there is a river running through the grand canyon and the elora gorge, and most gorges/canyons at one point had rivers or streams running though them to create them.say1988
As far as I know, gorge is the more common name in canada, though the article makes it sem canyon is. At least in southern ontario there are a number of gorges, erlora gorge for example, and no canyons that I know of. Also what is a ravine? it is redirected here, is it a sinonym (jmkijkjkjty6gfthe same thing) or is there something tht makes something a ravine? say1988 14:51, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
Valles Marineris[edit]
Is it possible one could put in an image of this canyon on this page as well? If that is okay, how would I add the image along with the other pictures of the canyons? — Preceding unsigned comment added by FatalGravity (talk • contribs) 18:02, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
English canyons[edit]
Re: "Canyons often form in areas of limestone rock. Limestone is to a certain extent soluble, so cave systems form in the rock. When these collapse a canyon is left, for example in the Mendip Hills in Somerset and Yorkshire Moors in Yorkshire, England."
I've left this in place but I have misgivings about its accuracy or usefulness (even after I've changed the obviously incorrect Yorkshire Moors - not a limestone area - to the intended Yorkshire Dales). Does a strict definition of canyon include collapsed caves? Cheddar Gorge - presumably the intended example in the Mendip Hills - is (according to the Wikipedia article) not a collapsed cave anyway. What examples are intended in the Dales? Gordale Scar (also not, according to its article, a collapsed cave)? If these count as canyons (which I doubt) direct references would be more useful. Dave.Dunford 10:29, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, what is sonoma in the beginning of the article?
what affects things around Canyons
By what measure is the Tsangpo the deepest gorge? I'm tempted to remove or drastically reword this unless there's a cite. In terms of the measure I just added (depth below highest peaks) it does not beat the Kali Gandaki. – Spireguy 23:44, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
what concerns me is that a popular choice as the worlds deepest Canyon the Cotahuasi Canyon a depth of approx 3354 meters isn't even mentioned, the title isn't specific enough does this include the Mariana trench? - Oct 2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 20:05, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
Defile = Canyon?[edit]
Why does the Defile page redirect to the canyon page? Shouldn't defile get its own page since it has two vastly different definitions? Chris37599 (talk) 13:02, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- Done (see Defile (geography). --Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 13:39, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
List of canyons and gorges needs splitting off[edit]
The lists in the article need splitting off to a separate article, and I don't see the point in distinguishing between gorges adn canyons because the meanings vary and are largely indistinguishable; the third section "things that ahve canyon-like features" is a useless designation; some river-articles will or do have the canyons and gorges categories also, e.g. where there is no reason to have a separate canyon article from the river one, e.g .Cayoosh Creek, Bridge River, Chehalis River, where the river definitely has/ is in a canyon but there is no formally named canyon, or no need for a separate article. The lists are also VERY incomplete...the discussion of gorges vs canyons is highly specious and subjective and should be just deleted, and there are so many ways a canyon can be formed that trying to define them by formation is really quite useless and also constitutes original research.Skookum1 (talk) 15:00, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
Palo Duro canyon[edit]
The Palo Duro reference links to an undefined page. This is most likely an intended link to Palo Duro Canyon, but that is in Texas, not Arizona, and there is no record of Pueblo activity in Palo Duro Canyon. Perhaps this sentence should be removed? Ityllux (talk) 04:53, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
In Turkey[edit]
There's a canyon in Usak, TR. It's the second biggest canyon on the world. Not eighteenth or seventeenth... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 18:23, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
box canyon link[edit]
The box canyon link just takes you back to the top of the canyon page. Do we not have a page for box canyons? 126.96.36.199 (talk) 18:57, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- Apparently there is no dedicated "box canyon" page. It's just a re-direct to canyon. I changed the "box canyon" link to italic text. Takeaway (talk) 11:30, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
A WikiProject has been proposed for canyons; see here for details, please consider placing an opinion. Shannontalk contribs sign!:) 15:47, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
"occasionally spelled cañon"[edit]
What the heck is that? Should we revise all the first lines in every article to show the foreign language spelling? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 02:17, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
- It's quite a common spelling in 19th Century and early 20th Century English, actually, and even turns up in UK English today....Skookum1 (talk) 19:15, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Contradiction between this article and Ravine[edit]
The opening sentence here defines a canyon as a type of ravine. However, Ravine defines a ravine as separate from a canyon. Which is correct? Kansan (talk) 16:52, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- My dictionary of geography defines a canyon as "a steep walled gorge, ravine or chasm cut by river action in which the depth considerably exceeds the width" and "common in areas of low precipitation". It also says "some canyons are produced in limestone terrain by the collapse of roofs of underground streams".
- So a "canyon" appears to be a type of "ravine" and should be a separate article. I am also not convinced that "gorge" should redirect here as it is defined as a "deep and narrow chasm with rocky precipitous walls" whereas canyons can be on a much larger scale. There is also a regional aspect to this: in that "canyon" tends to be used in arid regions, especially in the US, whereas the term gorge occurs more generally. HTH. --Bermicourt (talk) 17:08, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
Europe is not a country[edit]
Europe is not a country. Did you know that? It seems you don't, whoever wrote the list of canyons. Why does it say "Blabla Canyon, Kosovo, Europe" but not "Grand Canyon, Arizona, United states, Northern America"? Skärpning! Fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 13:19, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
- The reason why only Kosovo is the exception in this list is because of the status of its international recognition. It is not (yet) recognised by the UN but at the same time it can hardly still be called part of Serbia after Kosovo declared its independence. The present wording in this article is a compromise reflecting the situation concerning Kosovo's status. - Takeaway (talk) 13:45, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
These lists are silly? Why separate things according to the name ascribed to them (canyon vs. gorge) if there is no difference as per the article text. Could this list be presented as a table, affording some summary information about each and sorting abilities? Canyon dimensions are vague owing to unclear start/end locations varying depths, and so forth, but an approximation would help. Columns could include name, location (text), coordinates near center (geo tagged), length, depth, volume, and slope.

Please define canyon[edit]
The article currently starts this way:
A canyon (occasionally spelled cañon) or gorge is a deep ravine between cliffs often carved from the landscape by a river.
But the wikilink to "ravine" starts out by saying
A ravine is a landform smaller than a canyon....
So what on earth is a canyon. There is a newly discovered canyon on Greenland in the news today that is apparently the largest on earth, but I still have no idea what the definition of a canyon is.18.104.22.168 (talk) 13:06, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
|The content of Box canyon was merged into Canyon. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page.
Lists section - Split proposed[edit]
The "Lists" section now includes more than 140 canyons, and it forms what I think is a disproportionately large part of this article. (The rest of the artictle has only about 60 lines of text). I suggest that this list section should be moved to the article "List of canyons", which currently redirects to the "Canyon" article. Then the redirect should be deleted.

- Good work. Thought you'd move them all, or almost all of them, along with the related images. If you're planning to keep a top 10 most notable per continent, here are my top picks:
- Americas: Antelope, Canyon de Chelly, Canyonlands, Escalante, Copper, Grand, Niagara, Royal Gorge, Waimea, Zion (have visited all these & many others not listed here, but missed Copper)
- Australia: Carnarvon, Geikie, Karijini, Katherine, Kings, Murchison River, Palm Valley, Purnululu & West MacDonnell National Parks (have visited all but Kings)
- No opinion or experience with canyons in the other continents. Brian W. Schaller (talk) 04:35, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
Contradictions regarding deepest canyon[edit]
In this article:
The deepest canyon in the world, the Indus Gorge
In the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon article:
[Yarlung] in Tibet, China, is the deepest canyon in the world
In the Cotahuasi Canyon article:
[Cotahuasi] in Peru is the deepest canyon in the world

You are clearly a luckier duck than I when it comes to availability of fish. I, a city slicker, obtain my fish wrapped in plastic.
I am not much of a cook, but in my limited experience, a roast of any kind of meat is a relatively easy dish because (a) interpreting the recipe is a straightforward task, (b), the oven does all the work, and (c) the meat thermometer makes things pretty foolproof. Even if you roast a pork loin completely nekkid of sauce or spicing, except just for a bit of salt, you will end up with a fine-tasting meal. Pun intended, everything else you do with it is gravy.
I can't access your first link, but the second one, with all the sauce ingredients, certainly looks impressive. The idea of using apple butter is inspired! Clearly they're trying for some kind of sweet-and-sour vibe.
bummer about the first link... I have several others now, too... Pork Loin was on sale today so I can actually go with a Loin recipe... I just have to figure out which one...
I'm going to do apple pie baked in the apples, too... it's gonna be gooooooooooddddddddddddddd....
It sure is going to be good. When is this? The weekend? Bon appetit, and tell us all about it.
Thursday is the big day can't watch movies on the weekend, as that's for football! LOL
Ok so I've got the menu down for this thursday.
Next week, though, is Pinochico... and that takes place in Northern Italy... so I'm looking for something good - that won't break the bank, and doesn't have to have pasta to make it work. My mom is gluten intolerant so we have to be careful. She has her own pasta, but she's not a fan of it LOL I'm thinking something with chicken, but I'm up for any ideas.
First week was a success! Here's a look at how it turned out. Now I'm off to bed. I am still so full and I was BUSY today so I should've headed for bed at least an hour ago. I'd just post the story here, but I have pics, so it's just easier to give a link! - http://tonichelle.blogspot.com/2012/...countdown.html

Our safari trek took us to another sector of the park: up on a plateau. Apparently a male and female tiger were spotted in this area yesterday and the guide felt this was the place to be. The 3 hours in the jeep proved to be futile: no tiger sighting and limited antelope etc sightings. Most of this time was sitting and waiting at a ...

This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel in the past few months. I was traveling from the west to the east to visit family and it took me through Kalamazoo both times. When I was planning my trip back I did not hesitate to reserve a room at this hotel due to the service I received on my first visit. The staff were great and the free breakfast is a great bonus!

This editorial refers to 'Effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy and implantable cardioverter defibrillator on quality of life in patients with heart failure: a meta-analysis' by S. Chen et al., on page 1602
Heart failure (HF) is a syndrome that poses a substantial clinical and economic burden.1 Frequently, life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias may also accompany this condition.1 In the past, two large randomized clinical trials (RCTs), MADIT II (Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial), and SCD-HeFT (Sudden Cardiac Death in Heart Failure Trial),2,3 have demonstrated that implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy produces a significant reduction in total mortality when used for primary prevention in patients at risk for sudden cardiac death. Although ICDs reduce the risk of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, they have no effect on ventricular structure and function, and underlying cardiomyopathy hence remains unchanged.
Biventricular pacing, introduced into clinical practice in the early 1990s, has become an accepted therapeutic modality for patients with HF in addition to optimum medical therapy (OMT). This novel pacing strategy, more generally defined cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), restores synchronized ventricular contraction, which consequently results in an improved pumping efficiency, enhanced left ventricular filling, and a reduction in the severity of mitral regurgitation. Cardiac resynchronization therapy has substantially modified the natural history of HF, exerting its physiological impact through favourable ventricular remodelling, with a reduction in left ventricular volumes and improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). This in turn translates into long-term clinical benefits such as improved symptoms, and functional capacity, with a concomitant reduction in hospitalization for HF and overall mortality.4
However, whether the combination of CRT and ICD (CRT-D) would bring any additional benefit over CRT or ICD alone has been a matter of debate for a long while.
In a systematic review of 4420 patients in 14 trials, McAlister et al.5 demonstrated a 22% relative risk reduction in all-cause mortality and a 37% relative risk reduction in HF hospitalization when CRT was added to OMT or to OMT plus ICD. However, the incremental benefit of combined CRT-D devices vs. ICD alone devices was uncertain since CRT had no effect on morbidity and mortality in trials which compared the devices. It has to be noted that this analysis was based on the aggregate data from several small trials (CONTAK-CD and MIRACLE-ICD for HF hospitalization; CONTAC-CD, MIRACLE-ICD, MIRACLE-ICD II, and RHYTHM-ICD for overall mortality), which limits the conclusion that can be drawn.5
Despite these observations, the international guidelines recommend CRT-D devices for HF patients who are eligible for CRT [LVEF ≤ 35%, New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class III or IV despite OMT, QRS duration >120 ms, and sinus rhythm] and who would be otherwise candidates for ICD.1
However, at the time of the aforementioned systematic review, important questions remained regarding HF and CRT because nearly all participants (91%) in RCTs had NYHA class III or IV symptoms5; thus the effect of CRT in patients with less severe symptoms was undefined. In the last few years, nearly 5000 patients have been included in three RCTs (REVERSE,6 MADIT-CRT,7 and RAFT8) assessing the impact of CRT on reverse remodelling, morbidity, and mortality in patients with mildly symptomatic NYHA class I–II HF.
The first two studies have shown reverse remodelling and a reduction in HF hospitalizations,6,7 but only data from RAFT (Resynchronization/defibrillation for Ambulatory heart Failure Trial) has convincingly demonstrated that CRT can also reduce mortality in patients with mildly symptomatic HF.8
Furthermore, although the results from REVERSE (REsynchronization reVErses Remodeling in Systolic left vEntricular dysfunction) and MADIT-CRT (Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial with Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy) support the use of CRT in NYHA class II patients, evidence for CRT is less convincing in asymptomatic (NYHA class I) patients. The number of such patients enrolled in these trials was really small, thus the data remain inconclusive. However, the European Society of Cardiology extended its recommendation for CRT to include patients with mildly symptomatic HF who have QRS duration ≥150 ms.1
Role of quality-of-life measurements in heart failure
When evaluating the effects of CRT, functional capacity measured by changes in NYHA class, 6 min walk exercise capacity, and peak VO2, is the most frequently used indicator.9 However, HF is a chronic disease that often affects quality of life (QoL); therefore, when evaluating the effect of device therapy in HF, an improvement in QoL scores, measured by dedicated questionnaires, should also be an important clinical endpoint, probably as important as the traditional endpoints such as mortality and hospitalization, particularly when the effect of added CRT to ICD therapy is to be evaluated.
Quantitative studies on whether these implantable devices (CRT, ICD, or both) significantly affect QoL are scarce.
In a recent meta-analysis of 14 RCTs, CRT was associated with a reduction in scores (the greater the score, the worse the QoL) of the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnarie (MLHFQ) compared with control, OMT, or OMT plus ICD therapy [4283 patients; weighted mean difference (WMD): 6.56 points; confidence interval (CI) 4.08–9.04 points].10 However, a substantial statistical heterogeneity was found (I2 = 72%) that was largely attributable to the symptomatic status at baseline. Patients with NYHA class I or II had better MLHFQ scores at baseline and did not show any appreciable improvement with CRT (WMD: 1.82; CI −0.77 to 4.41). In contrast, in patients with NYHA class III or IV, MLHFQ scores were poorer at baseline and significantly improved with CRT (WMD: 7.39; CI 4.87–9.91). Thus, symptomatic status at baseline strongly influences the effect of CRT on QoL in HF patients.
The clinical value of this approach assessed in several RCTs has been summarized in a systematic review by Chen et al.11 published in this issue of the journal.
The authors included RCTs that more specifically compared the efficacy of CRT-D therapy with ICD alone therapy in patients with HF. The primary outcome was the improvement of QoL. Consequently, four RCTs in 1655 patients were included. Overall, the results are in agreement with those of the previous meta-analysis10: the QoL score (using MLHFQ) significantly improved (WMD: −6.02; CI −10.56 to −1.48) in patients in the CRT-D group compared with the ICD only group. However, the QoL benefit in the CRT-D group was not maintained when subset analysis was performed for patients with NYHA I–II (WMD: 0.19; CI −3.89 to 4.72). By contrast, patients with NYHA III–IV in the CRT-D group exhibited a significant improvement in QoL compared with the ICD alone group (WMD: −8.49; CI −13.39 to −3.59).
When all four studies were combined, a significant heterogeneity was detected, as a result of differences across studies. The first source of heterogeneity could be identified in the crossover design of one study as opposed to the parallel design of the three remaining studies. The second, even more important, source of heterogeneity was the inclusion of patients with different NYHA class. The overall benefit in QoL from CRT-D over ICD alone has been completely driven by improvement in patients with moderate or severe HF symptoms, who obtained the maximum benefit. The improvement in QoL was small in patients with mild HF symptoms or in asymptomatic patients, due to better QoL scores at baseline.
The results of this meta-analysis are an important complement to previous meta-analysis, testing the effect of CRT in patients with different levels of HF symptoms.10–12
Compared with controls (OMT or OMT plus ICD), CRT reduces all-cause mortality and HF hospitalizations in HF patients at different stages of the disease. The relative magnitude of the benefit on survival and hospitalization is greater in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction, prolonged QRS duration, and NYHA class III or IV symptoms; however, this benefit is still present, even if to a lesser extent, in patients with milder symptoms or with no symptoms of HF.10
There is now conclusive evidence that the addition of CRT to OMT and ICD therapy reduces mortality and morbidity in patients with mild HF symptoms. The overall beneficial incremental effect of CRT is supported by the findings obtained from large studies such as REVERSE, MADIT-CRT,6,7 and mainly RAFT.8 The sequential monitoring boundary has been crossed with the publication of the RAFT study results, indicating the definite cumulative evidence, since the restrictive nature of the boundary design leaves no more doubt about the benefit.13 Before the publication of RAFT, the cumulative evidence available from the previous 11 studies were not sufficient for the boundary to be crossed.
However, the issue of QoL is more difficult to analyse. Randomized clinical trials are essential for testing the effect of therapy on clinical outcomes, and device trials are particularly challenging. Unfortunately, only a few trials with relatively small number of HF patients with the devices assessed the QoL. MADIT-CRT and RAFT have not yet produced reports on QoL.
Furthermore, the lack of benefit of CRT in terms of QoL in patients with NYHA class I or II symptoms may be explained by the fact that improvement in QoL scores is difficult to measure in these patients, and longer follow-up is probably required to show any benefit than in those with more symptomatic HF.
All these limitations may result in the underestimation of the true effect of CRT in patients with HF.

I'm with the Janitor…change sucks! Happily, though, the (probably) penultimate episode of "Scrubs" didn't suck at all. Though seriously, these guys have been part of my life for so long that the idea of JD and Turk being responsible adults, living and working apart and canceling on each other to care for their children, kills my inner child a little bit. Tonight even had fewer fantasy moments! But hey, emotional growth is one of the things that make this show so great, right?
So what's the state of the union? JD is living 37 minutes away (well, 35 if he doesn't stop at the blueberry stand) and soon to start work as residency director at Kim's hospital. Bummer. Turk is Chief of Surgery, and that entire plot arc would've been worth it just for the payoff of his new ID with a picture of him wearing the Janitor's "Chief" hat. In their fantasy, JD and Turk are running the hospital, wearing dapper vests and eating free pudding. In reality, they clash at work, make up, and realize that they'll just have to see each other "when [they] can." Who would've thought a comedy could make me so sad? (In a sentimental, nostalgic way…not in a negative way.)
Dr. Cox's half-backflip (backflop?) at JD's news notwithstanding, he's clearly taking his self-identified protégé's departure pretty hard. Aww. Although I have to say, I didn't think his reaction to Denise's "Elliot said not to sweat it [after I totally screwed up and almost killed a patient with a really adorable voice]" attitude was out of line at all. I hope doctors sweat it when they almost kill patients! And you know, though I think it's probably time to let "Scrubs" go, I wish they had time to explore the Dr. Cox/Denise relationship a little more.
The Janitor, for his part, is pissed that JD upset the status quo, since change begets change. What kind of change? Well, Dr. Kelso is thinking about going back to work for low-income patients, Carla considers working part-time, Elliot toys with moving in with JD, Jordan wants to adopt some Asian babies, and Lady's sister and son may move in…it's madness. MADNESS!
Bits and pieces:
- Denise and Derek are hooking up. I…really couldn't care less. Derek is maybe the most forgettable character ever to appear on "Scrubs."
- The Janitor's advice to Lady's nephew, who's having trouble with a schoolmate, is amazing: "You hit somebody and the anger's gone, it's over. The goal should be to keep the anger inside you, growing, like an anger baby." He demands a very high level of revenge commitment.
- JD and Turk haven't been apart since before college. Adorable in theory, terrifying in reality. JD actually flew in and secretly stayed at a bungalow by the pool at Turk and Carla's honeymoon! That has to cross some kind of line.
- I'll miss the little updates we get about Harrison, Dr. Kelso's son. Apparently, he's now "dropped all pretense – he's a man whore." Oh, Harrison.
- Ted and Gooch are moving in together! Way to go, Ted. Though yeah, I really don't need to picture you having sex. Also, I'd totally buy a Gooch CD. I love me some happy ukulele songs.

Last year when EA was showing off Battlefield 3 they spent most of the year showing off only the PC version. They were pretty upfront with the matter but if all you did was watch a commercial on TV then you might have been disappointed when your shiny new game didn't look anywhere near as good as the version from the trailer. Now for a lot of people graphics don't matter and getting a watered down version of the game wasn't a huge loss. I'll argue that getting it at only 30 fps was a bigger loss especially for those use to the smoothness of Call of Duty. Regardless, while EA never outright lied, for those who didn't do their research there could have been a big blow to the face when they started playing their game.
This year EA did a repeat of last year. Except this time they showed virtually every game at their press conference off on the PC. And this time they didn't own up to it right after. But this year it wasn't just EA. Ubisoft was only showing its games on PC (I understand that this was the case even at Sony and Microsoft's press conferences), Tomb Raider was running on a PC, RE6 was running on a PC, everything was running on a PC. The only games actually running on the consoles they were being displayed on were the exclusives (You Halo and God of War and so forth). Now arguably Sony's exclusives especially looked better than most anything anyone else was showing save for maybe Watch Dogs and the stuff confirmed to be next gen. But the question is, for all of these third party games, will they actually look and run anywhere near as well on a console as they did on PC? The answer is obviously no. At best they will look pretty close but run at half the frame rate. At worst you will get the type of game we saw at the end of the last generation, where games looked decidedly worse on consoles than on PC. The question is, which games are going to look good regardless of system and which won't? And furthermore will gamers have any heads up in advance or will we be at the whim of critics to tell us what games are functional on consoles and what games aren't?
It's going to be an interesting year and a half until the launch of next gen systems and in that time I expect PC gaming will see a big explosion in popularity as people await a console that can keep up with the PC's on the market already. As someone who buys most of his games on the PC I think it is great that developers aren't holding back when it comes to their latest engines, but I also feel bad for those who don't do their research and end up buying something that doesn't work how they thought it would. What do you guys think? Do graphics and performance matter enough to you that this is going to be a problem? Or are you content with the graphics of current gen systems even after seeing what the next gen will be capable of at this year's show?
Oh and as a final note, thanks to everyone who took my survey over the past 24 hours. I got over 150 responses thanks to you guys so I'm set to go other than needing to get some more girls to take the survey. Didn't think of that skew when I posted it here. Oh well. So thanks everyone! I really appreciate it!

President Trump, his fossil fuel administration, and anti-conservationists in Congress are attacking America's public lands!

If you're fond of Joshua Tree National Park and its curiously unique trees, you may already know that this special place is in danger of losing its namesake as temperatures in California's high desert become too hot for the species to endure.

Congratulations to all Wilderness Society supporters whose outpouring of e-mails, tweets, faxes and phone calls to members of the House of Representatives helped tip the balance in favor of The American Clean Energy and Security Act, also known as the Waxman-Markey energy/climate bill.
On May 21, the conservative House Energy and Commerce Committee passed this major legislative initiative by a bipartisan vote of 33-25, sending it on to the full House for a vote this summer.
As the Waxman-Markey climate bill makes it way through Congress, it is more critical than ever to understand the basic science behind global warming. The Wilderness Society has developed a fact sheet on this topic, complete with graphics, that concisely explains how our atmosphere is changing with rising greenhouse gas emissions.
Click for a high-resolution image expaining global warming that may be used by the media with credit to The Wilderness Society.
After weeks of negotiation with House committee members over what language would be included in the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 when it was formally introduced, committee chair Henry Waxman, D-Calif., and his cosponsor Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., who chairs the Subcommittee on Energy and Environment, have released the final language of the groundbreaking legislation and began marathon markup sessions on the bill May 18.
As policymakers weigh their options for reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming, they hope to find solutions that allow us to have our cake and eat it too. Some hold out hope that long-term storage of carbon in wood products such as furniture and home-building materials can be a win-win solution. The notion is intuitively appealing, but a new report from Wilderness Society resource economist Ann Ingerson highlights some of the obstacles to this approach.
Star power can certainly help raise awareness of a critical issue. Like it or not, human beings are social animals and few among us are immune to the bit of a thrill that comes with rubbing elbows with celebrities. Even members of Congress get caught up in the excitement.
The "American Clean Energy and Security Act" introduced by Reps. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., and Ed Markey, D-Mass., is generating a flurry of comment. For groups like The Wilderness Society, the introduction of the Waxman-Markey bill is welcome news — a signal that Congress is finally willing to tackle the potentially catastrophic challenge of global warming. For others, the bill represents a threat to the fossil-fuel-fired status quo.
Did you know that the loss of forests accounts for the release of more heat-trapping pollution than the world's entire transportation sector?
This is an incredible statistic and yet, according to the U.S. Forest Service, the United States continues to lose about 6,000 acres of open space a day as natural ecosystems are developed for urban, agricultural and industrial uses.
With more than 20 percent of green house gas emissions worldwide stemming from deforestation and land conversion, wise forest management has never been more important.
After eight years of denial and delay under the Bush Administration, the U.S. government is beginning to engage in international climate talks and staking out a leadership role - something many believe is essential to reaching a global accord on combating global warming.
At a gathering of United Nations delegates in Bonn, Germany on March 29, Todd Stern, the State Department's new climate policy envoy signaled a strong shift toward action and leadership by pledging to move forward on U.S. initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Today, the 111th Congress introduced its first bill that would tackle the challenge of global warming. Efforts to pass global warming legislation during President George W. Bush's two terms focused almost exclusively on the Senate, to no avail. Reps. Henry Waxman (D-CA) and Edward Markey (D-MA) hope to break this stalemate and today's effort marks the beginning of an approach that has broad support across the nation and within Congress.
We strongly support this legislative effort and commented on it here.

Audi A4(1.8T quattro) на бездорожье (отрывок из теста)
http://vk.com/antonavtoman Добавляйтесь в друзья!) http://www.facebook.com/anton.vorotnikov Выкладываю отрывок из теста Audi A4 1.8T quattro
quattro diagonal test.
This shows how the EDS diffbrake system makes the car move out of this diagonal wheel spin. with only open differentials, one front and one rear wheel would spin, and even if the spinning front wheel got contact with the ground, so that both front wheels had traction, the car would NOT move without EDS, because the torsen center diff cannot transfer any torque if one of the axles loses traction completly, as if one rear wheel is off the ground like in this video, then that would be the only wheel that would spin, all others would stand still. So the EDS uses the brake to brake the spinning rear wheel so the other side that has all the weight also gets some torque and add a overall load to the rear axle, making the torsen transfer equal torque divided by the built-in Torque Bias Ratio (TBR) witch i guess is 1:3 on this car, so the front wheels gets the rear wheel torque divided by 3, witch makes the car move.

Bringing Security into the Development Process
Vendors and analysts warn that the open culture of application development can lead to security vulnerabilities and data leaks.When it comes to data leaks, most of the talk is about hackers breaking into networks or employees e-mailing and downloading sensitive information. But some vendors are paying more attention to the preproduction environment, where there are often security holes big enough to push a hard drive through. "The development environment and quality assurance environment have always been...significantly more open and free," said Louis Carpenito, former vice president of information security business strategy at Symantec.
Carpenito, now an independent consultant, said the environments often lack security measures such as access control and event management. Despite not having these safeguards, many organizations still use real customer data in their development and quality assurance environments, he said.

Banshee 1.6 Integrates with Ubuntu One Music Store
Access and purchase music from within the media player.
Banshee 1.6 proves to be a stable release after the numerous developer releases in the 1.5.x series. In addition to the U1MS plugin created by Jo Shields, the new Banshee includes numerous improvements over 1.4. Among them is a DJ tool called a Play Queue that randomly plays music by artist, album, song rating or score mode. The new Banshee also has an import filter for MP3 songs purchased from eMusic.
Banshee 1.6 supports a number of new devices, among them HTC's Nexus One, Nokia's N900 and the Palm Pre. The Banshee download archives page includes the full list of enhancements.
Ubuntu One Music Store for all?
The Banshee player, programmed in Mono, was originally developed by Novell. However, Novell and the other distros aren't likely to have any interest in delivering the U1MS plugin with the Banshee version, because cloud support is required to access Ubuntu One.
The newest openSUSE version of Banshee doesn't include the U1MS plugin, but the Banshee community extensions (that include the plugin) in the libubuntuone libraries can be compiled into other distros. In a short test, it was relatively easy to install the plugin into openSUSE 11.3. Not unexpectedly, the compiled version of Banshee crashed almost immediately after activating the plugin.

Monetary policy and happiness: Preferences over inflation and unemployment in Latin America
Using subjective well-being survey data for Latin America, we present evidence that both inflation and unemployment reduce well-being; where the cost of inflation in terms of unemployment, hence the relative size of the weights in a social well-being functions, is about one to eight, almost double of that found for OECD countries. The trade-off, and therefore the misery index, differs across subgroups. For example, the young and left-leaning citizens are more concerned with unemployment than inflation.

Against Saudi laws?
I would like to ask how true that Muttawa or Saudi police catch single men and women who speak to each other or be together as prohibited by Saudi laws. Does this apply to foreign nationals, too? I have learned of men & women (both expats) meet in malls and are able to go together in public. Women are said to be able to go into the Bachelor's housing as long as the man's companion will allow the woman's entry. Some women even wear mens clothing to be able to walk into mens' housing. How then can you say that Saudi laws still prevail for the locals as well as expats?

I am going to be moving to Al Khobar very soon and wondered if anyone could direct me to a good on-line site where I could check out the abayers. I have been given one 'cuckoofashion.com but its not not got what I want in the catalogue nor the website.

DEFINITION of 'Jeff Bezos'
Self-made billionaire Jeff Bezos is the founder of online retail giant Amazon.com. Born in 1964 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Bezos was raised by his mother and stepfather. One of his earliest entrepreneurial ventures was a children's education camp that he ran as a teenager with his girlfriend one summer.
BREAKING DOWN 'Jeff Bezos'
Bezos earned his Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and computer science from Princeton in 1986. After graduation, he became one of the first employees at Fitel, which manufactures optical fibers. He later joined Bankers Trust, then left to join a hedge fund where he quickly became senior vice president.
Bezos left the hedge fund in 1994 because he saw the Internet taking off and decided to become part of it. He founded Amazon.com in Seattle that year as an online bookseller.
