<< Marathon is fairly new (at least to me), and I don't know how dangerous

I did some research last Spring for a pests and problems talk I had to give my
local chapter and in the course of this I investigated a chemical that has
been getting a lot of attention called Merit. I was informed by the
E.L.Geigher Agricultural Chemical Company that this chemical, which is a less
concentrated form of the chemical marketed as Marathon, is labeled only for
interiorscape and turf uses at this time. Marathon is lableled only for turf
application at this time. Neither is labeled for exterior use on ornamental
plants. Neither is a restricted chemical. Marathon is also very, very
expensive. Any or all of this information may have changed since May, 1997,
but it would be a wise course to confirm current legal uses of these chemicals
before proceeding with purchase and application.

The Beatles, a day in the life ...
Surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr celebrated the 50th anniversary of the band's debut on "The Ed Sullivan Show" with a little help from their friends, ranging from Katy Perry and The Foo Fighters to Imagine Dragons and Ed Sheeran. The all-star tribute, titled "The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to the Beatles," aired exactly 50 years to the date from that iconic TV moment. To celebrate the return of Beatlemania, we've put together some of our favorite images from the band's Fab Four days all the way to John Lennon's tragic demise. Next
From left: George Harrison, John Lennon, and Paul McCartney outside Paul's Liverpool home circa 1960. The trio had just changed their band name from The Quarrymen, Lennon's original Liverpudlian skiffle beat band. Ringo Starr did not join the band for another two years. Next
From left: George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and original drummer Pete Best performed in a club in Liverpool in 1962 prior to signing their first recording contract. Next
Brian Epstein, manager of The Beatles, in New York City on Aug. 11, 1966. Epstein started representing The Beatles in 1961, working hard to make them household names. After Decca Records rejected the band in early February, Epstein partnered with George Martin who signed the group to EMI's Parlophone label. Next
Sir George Martin, the producer and composer often referred to as the "Fifth Beatle." The Beatles auditioned for Martin on June 6, 1962, at the Abbey Road studios. Among the many things Martin suggested was replacing drummer Pete Best with Ringo Starr. Martin and The Beatles went on to collaborate on a number of successes, none more important than the band's first single, "Love Me Do," released in early October 1962. It became a Top 20 hit in the UK. Their subsequent debut album "Please, Please Me," was recorded in a day at Abbey Road. Rolling Stone named it the 39th best album of all time. Next
Sir Joseph Lockwood, chairman of EMI, presented The Beatles with two silver discs, to mark the 1/4 million plus sales of their two long playing records, "Please, Please Me" and "With The Beatles," on Nov. 18, 1963. Next
In 1963 The Beatles toured Britain four times, eventually commanding more draw than the American acts they were supporting. Andi Lothian, a former Scottish music promoter, claimed that he coined the term "Beatlemania" in reference to the frenzied crowds that regularly erupted. Next
The Beatles wore blazers and boaters on the "Night of a Hundred Stars" show in December 1963. Next
The Beatles held their silver LP and EP discs presented to them by EMI records in London to mark sales of records including the LP "Please, Please Me" and "Twist And Shout," the best-selling EP of all time. Next
The Beatles took a bow on stage after performing in the Royal Command Performance at the Prince of Wales Theatre in 1963. Next
The Beatles relaxed on a beach in Miami circa February 1964. Next
Paul McCartney, followed by Ringo Starr and John Lennon, arrived by plane at San Francisco International Airport. Even though they made an unannounced live appearance in January 1969 on the rooftop of the Apple building, The Beatles' final live concert took place at Candlestick Park in San Francisco on Aug. 29, 1966. Next
The Beatles returned to New York's Shea Stadium on Aug. 23, 1966. before a crowd of 45,000 people. Their first trip to Shea in 1965 ushered in the era of arena rock. A highlight of the 1965 tour, the Beatles first appearnce at Shea had 55,600 people in attendance, the largest Beatles concert up to that time. Next
John Lennon on Aug. 16, 1966, after making a formal apology for his controversial statement that the group was "more popular than Jesus." Next
Ringo Starr and George Harrison arrived at the EMI recording studios on Abbey Road on Nov. 24, 1966. Next
After manager Brian Epstein died on Aug. 27, 1967, from an accidental overdose of sleeping pills, the Beatles turned to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi for influence as they started writing The White Album. The group was due to stay for three months in India, but Starr left after only 10 days, McCartney left a month later, and Lennon and Harrison left after two months, after being informed the Maharishi was making sexual advances toward the women in the course. Next
While working on an avant-garde art project based on the lyrics of John Lennon, artist Yoko Ono and Lennon embarked upon a controversial love affair. Afterward, Lennon broke the Beatles' rule of "no girlfriends in the studio" during the recording of "The White Album" and "Abbey Road," which created tension. Next
John and Yoko outside the Robert Fraser Gallery in London in July 1968, where Lennon's work was on show in an exhibition entitled "You Are Here." Lennon marked the occasion by releasing 365 helium-filled balloons. Next
The Beatles on their last recorded studio album "Abbey Road." Next
George Harrison and Indian sitar player Ravi Shakar announced a benefit concert for Bangladesh refugees. The concert was George's first in four years, taking place on Aug. 1, 1971, at Madison Square Garden. Next
George Harrison in his Concert for Bangladesh at Madison Square Garden in New York on Aug. 1, 1971. Backing him up were, from left: Klaus Voormann (bass), Jesse Ed Davis (guitar), and Eric Clapton (guitar). Next
A man and woman among the crowd in Central Park in New York City who gathered to mourn the death of John Lennon in December 1980. The man held a picture of John and Yoko in bed during one of their "love-in" peace protests. Next
Crowds gathered outside the Dakota, the home of John Lennon in New York, after the news that he had been shot and killed in December 1980. Back to the beginning

instnjctions): Pathologic involvement of platelet activation in myocardial infarction (Ml) and ischemic stroke is well- established. Collagen is a potent platelet activator that becomes exposed to flowing blood after disruption of the endothelial surface, which occurs after vessel injury or atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Platelet-mediated thrombus formation is the proximate pathologic cause of Ml and stroke and anti-platelet therapy is a mainstay of primary and secondary cardiovascular prevention. Low dose aspirin therapy reduces the risk of Ml, stroke, and cardiovascular death by 22-25%;however, not ali individuals appear to receive equal protection from aspirin. A growing body of evidence demonstrates that aspirin-treated individuals with the highest levels of platelet reactivity in vitro are at increased risk for future cardiovascular events. Platelets express several glycoproteins on their surface that serve as collagen receptors, including glycoproteins la and lla, glycoprotein IV, and glycoprotein VI, which are potential targets for novel anti- platelet therapies. Recent studies suggest that both the expression of these glycoprotein receptors and their glycosylation contribute to binding to collagen and platelet reactivity. However, the structural bases for these glycoprotein modifications and the mechanism through which they alter platelet function have not been well characterized. The purpose of this proposal is to use emerging glycoproteomic and glycomic technologies to identify the specific alterations in platelet glycoproteins and glycans that contribute to heightened platelet reactivity and to use this information to design novel anti-thrombotic agents that target glycoproteins and complex sugars to treat cardiovascular disease with four specific aims: 1) to characterize the glycoproteins and glycans that are associated with high and low platelet reactivity in response to aspirin;2) to validate the changes in glycoproteins and glycans using complementary techniques in an independent study;3) to assess the roles of the candidate glycoproteins and glycans in collagen adhesion and platelet reactivity in vitro;and, 4) to determine the contribution of specific glycoproteins and glycans to platelet reactivity using mouse models.
Understanding how glycoprotein modifications alter platelet function will lead to a better understanding of why response to aspirin treatment varies among individuals and will allow development of novel anti- thrombotic therapies to prevent myocardial infection and stroke.

There are many positives of the Christmas period. We all need the downtime a few days away from work can provide us, and being surrounded by family and friends should make that time even more special. Then there's the vast variety of tasty Christmas food, which can be difficult to resist despite the high calorie count.
However, if you over-indulge it may have an undesired effect on your blood pressure if you're not careful. It is important then that you look after yourself in order to keep your blood pressure within healthy limits.
If you do have high blood pressure, making changes to your diet and lifestyle can help reduce it significantly. Smart changes to improve your blood pressure include:
Losing some weight
If you're overweight, losing just a little can make a big difference to your blood pressure and can also reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Each kilogram dropped has an impact, which can be as much as 2.5/1.5 mm Hg. 1
Exercise regularly
You should aim to do some moderate exercise for at least 150 minutes a week. This could include brisk walking, swimming or cycling, anything that is enough to make you a little sweaty. Exercise helps to lower blood pressure, although if you currently have high blood pressure you should think about speaking to your doctor before you start any intensive exercise activities.
Eat healthily
Your diet should be healthy and balanced, including:
- At least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day
- A third of your plate for most meals should be starchy foods, such as cereals, wholegrain bread or pasta, potatoes or brown rice
- Limit your saturated fats, such as processed foods, red meats, and dairy products, and instead have unsaturated fats
- Eat two portions of fish a week, with one of those being oily fish such as mackerel, herring, salmon or sardines
- Choose lean portions of meat, including poultry
- Limit your intake of salt. We shouldn't eat more than 6 grams of salt per day, although most of us eat more than this as salt is found in so many foods, especially those that are processed. You can reduce this by choosing foods labelled 'no added salt', and by using herbs and spices to flavour food.
A healthy diet has a number of benefits for your overall health. It can help to lower cholesterol, control your weight, and even contributes towards avoiding some diseases. Switching to a low-fat and low-salt, with lots of fruit and vegetables can have a dramatic effect on your blood pressure.
Be cautious with stimulants
Stimulants such as recreational drugs and nicotine can affect blood pressure, especially in those whose blood pressure is sensitive to them and especially if your blood pressure is already high.
Keep your alcohol intake within healthy limits
Drinking excessively can significantly increase your blood pressure over time, so you should not drink more than the recommended levels. This means drinking no more than 21 units a week (three to four units/day) for men, or 14 units a week (two to three units/day) for women. It is also advisable to have two alcohol-free days a week. If you are currently a heavy drinker, cutting back to these limits could reduce your systolic blood pressure by as much as 10 mm Hg.

Skin cancer is a common diagnosis. In Switzerland, more than 2,000 people are told they have it every year. Luckily, it is almost always curable. A simple check can save your life: 90% of skin cancers that are detected early can be cured.
- Early detection can save lives
- Skin cancer: What exactly is it?
- Are you a high-risk person?
- How do you protect yourself against the sun?
- Use the ABCDE method to keep a check on your moles
- Tell your loved ones about the method and help them protect themselves
Early detection can save lives
The sun's rays have positive effects on people: They encourage metabolic processes, lift your mood and help you relax. If, though, you expose yourself to the sun too much, its ultra-violet rays can be damaging in both the short and long term. Today, more and more people are suffering from skin problems brought on by sunlight. Between 50 and 70 percent of skin cancer cases result from exposure to too much sun. Sunlight can cause harm even without sunburn occurring, and this is why we tend to underestimate the sun's potency. Sun creams with a high UVA and UVB protection factor are absolutely essential, as is clothing that protects against ultra-violet rays.Up
Skin cancer: What exactly is it?
There are different types of skin cancer that can manifest themselves in various forms and to varying degrees of severity. Black melanoma is a particularly dangerous variety of skin cancer. Further Information (in German).Up
Are you a high-risk person?
- You've got very light skin colouring with freckles, light-coloured eyes and blond or red hair.
- You regularly get sunburn and tan only slightly or not at all.
- You have already suffered serious sunburn or were exposed to a great deal of sunlight in your childhood or youth.
- There is a history of melanoma or of other types of skin cancer in your family.
- You have lots of moles, some of which are bigger than 6 mm in diameter or vary in shape or colour.
People at higher risk of skin cancer should have their skin examined by a specialist every one or two years.Up
How do you protect yourself against the sun?
Avoid the sun between noon and 2 p.m.
Avoid exposure to the sun when it's at its strongest.
Stay in the shade if you can
Keep children out of direct sunlight as much as possible: 80% of skin damage caused by the sun occurs before the age of 18. Sunglasses, a hat and shirt are the best protection, especially for a child's sensitive skin.
Keep re-applying sun cream
Use sun cream with a very high protection factor (50+) to protect yourself against UVB and UVA rays, remember to re-apply it every two hours, and wear sunglasses and a hat. Further Information on Sun Protection (PDF, 168KB) (in German).
Although modern sun protection products work instantly, you need to apply them before sunbathing. If you find a mole that has changed in a way that causes you concern, ask a dermatologist about it.Up
Use the ABCDE method to keep a check on your moles
To spot melanoma, it's absolutely vital to examine yourself regularly.
The ABCDE Methode (PDF, 191KB) (in German) will help you to systematically check the appearance of your moles and any changes in them:
A: Asymmetrical (deviates from circular or oval form)
B: Boundaries (irregular or indistinct)
C: Colour (varies in intensity)
D: Diameter (of more than 6 mm)
E: Evolution (new, and appeared in a short time; needs to be examined by a dermatologist)Up
Tell your loved ones about the method and help them protect themselves
Get involved by simply and quickly sharing the method with your loved ones. Sign up now and become a Skinchecker (in German).
A simple check can save lives. 90% of skin cancers that are detected early can be cured!

A reliable source tells DQM that the New York Times Co. has threatened to close the Boston Globe if the paper's unions don't agree to $20 million in concessions in the next 30 days. Possible concessions include pay cuts, the end of pension contributions by the NYT Co., and the elimination of the lifetime job guarantees some union members enjoy.
In his reply to today's announcement of up to 50 impending newsroom cuts at the Boston Globe, Boston Newspaper Guild president Dan Totten argues that any cuts should focus exclusively on Globe management.
Also noteworthy: according to Totten's email, the new buyout program will be open to all editorial staff, however long they've worked at the paper.
If you thought that the recent decision by Boston Globe drivers to accept a wage cut and fewer holidays meant that Globe management was successfully making the case for austerity to the paper's employees, think again.
Yesterday--in advance of a December 9 meeting on the possible re-opening of the contract of the Boston Newspaper Guild, the paper's largest union--BNG head Dan Totten sent a memo to Globe management that excoriated management's approach to employee relations.
According to the Boston Globe, the paper's redesign in general--and the debut of "g" in particular--is all about serving readers better. For example, here's how the paper pitched "g" in today's explanation to readers:
Our new magazine-style section will be called "g" — for Globe — and it
reflects what you, our readers, have been telling us about how you
prefer to receive your reviews, previews, profiles and arts, culture

Searching for Keynes
Since its publication over 60 years ago, Keynes' General Theory of Employment, Interest and Prices (1936) has substantially influenced both macroeconomic theory and popular opinion about what governments can and should do. However, the extent to which counter-cyclical stabilization has actually been attempted remains an open question. Investigation of this issue requires the construction of a counterfactual describing what the relationship between fiscal policy and transitory macroeconomic shocks would have been like 'after Keynes', if Keynesianism stabilization was not implemented. This counterfactual must allow for the possibility that after Keynes, as well as before, political pressure exerted by voters who find themselves in adverse circumstances may have led to the adoption of fiscal policies that look Keynesian, but are not. We estimate such a counterfactual for Canada using consistent budgetary data for the period from 1870 to 1995 constructed by Irwin Gillespie (and updated by the authors), and use it to test for the presence of Keynesian elements in the fiscal policy choices of the Government of Canada. The estimating equations are based on an intertemporal probabilistic voting framework in which parties compete for support from two types of voters; those who are liquidity constrained and those who are not. The Canadian case is of particular interest: the White Paper on Employment and Income in 1945 signalled the acceptance of Keynesianism in senior policy circles; one of Keynes' students, Robert Bryce, who dates the first Keynesian budget from 1939, played an important role for many years in the Department of Finance; and the fixed exchange rate policy conducted from 1962 to 1970 created an environment conducive to fiscal policy actions.

Kind of a struggle, not gonna lie.I've only been halfheartedly watching the show. I've read the book and there isn't any adaptation that comes close to the true story. And where I was excited at the beginning to learn it is an adaptation of the Count of Monte Cristo the art style is really throwing me off.Read more
It's like an entire anime made out of advertisements in expensive catalogs with people wearing clothes that would otherwise ...
stunning, mesmerizingStylistically gorgeous retelling of a familiar story. The animation is almost mesmerizing.
Strong character development throughout and most important of all, the story arc is finalized by the end of the series. You won't be left hanging.
We loved every episode. Period. No, He isn't a vampire. There are no cheap tricks here. This series is a lush and sensual visual and aural experience.
Breathtaking! Absolutely breathtaking!If you're looking for an anime with a beautiful and intense story, as well as amazing art and voice acting skills; Gankutsuou is the anime for you to be watching!

From a fan of the book"The Count of Monte Cristo" is one of my favorite books of all time. I had really high hopes for this adaptation, but I found it wanting. The overall progression of the book was there, but the relationships, the real reasons why the people close to the count stayed by him were lost. You don't see why anyone would want to help such a secretly evil count. In the book, you understand how the ...Read more
An amazing book turned into a masterpiece of anime...I accidentally stumbled across this gem while browsing, the first episode was a little odd for me because I'm not a fan of cg stuff..

1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:The most exquisite art-Gankutsuou is a reimaging of Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo. While the core elements remain the same, the story is set in an a future earth furnished with retro aristocratic themes, so it naturally takes certain liberties with the plot. The beauty of this story, as with the original, is that while you despise the antagonist for being what he is, you sympathize with him. With the most ...Read more
It really grew on meAt first I didn't like the animation style or even the Frenchiness, but as the series progressed it began to grow on me. Everything about this series was just sort of off.
If I could change one thing it would be the opening theme and closing theme. I would switch them, because at the start of the show I am excited to watch, but by the end of the program I was depressed.
Goes crazy with the story lineThis anime hooked me up with its art style and also I liked (at first) that it's setup in completely different environment than the original story.Read more
It was doing a fine job with all the alterations of the original story, but midway it got so much different that it lost all sense and logic in the character relationships. Even if you have read the book it is so much altered that you'll wander why ...

Earlier this month, the conductor Sir Simon Rattle, formerly with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and recently appointed conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, described the venue in extremely blunt terms, including the "worst concert arena" remark.
"It was a diabolical change going there from Birmingham," he said. "The will to live slips away in the first half-hour of rehearsal."
Sir Simon has influence with the Prime Minister and Crhis Smith, the Secretary of State for Culture, and the Government is keen to avoid accusations that London's one lasting symbol of the 1951 Festival of Britain has been ignored during millennium celebrations.
The Festival Hall, which remains popular among concert-goers despite its location among the little-loved concrete walkways on the South Bank, will be given a make-over in time for its 50th birthday in 2001.
Today Karsten Witt, chief executive of the South Bank Centre, will give details of a pounds 10m-plus redevelopment, to be financed by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
It is understood the bulk of the improvements will be concentrated on the public areas. Foyers will be improved and, most importantly, terraces will be opened up on the river frontage, allowing concert-goers to stroll and drink while overlooking the Thames. One insider said yesterday: "The idea is to go back to the original 1951 version, to recreate not just the look but the atmosphere of the original, and once again to open up the hall to the river."
A masterplan to redevelop the rest of the complex, involving possible demolition of its concrete walkways, and the Hayward Gallery and Purcell Room (the smallest concert hall) is still being studied. But the improvements to the Festival Hall will go ahead.
The architectural company Allies and Morrison has already done preliminary work on the Festival Hall and will be among the favourites to secure the contract for the redevelopment. The American-born architect Rick Mather has overall responsibility for the masterplan covering the South Bank area.
That involves expanded film facilities on the site: the British Film Institute intends to sell its West End headquarters and move to the South Bank. The sale will raise enough to build a new headquarters and a National Film & Television School, and enlarge the National Film Theatre and the Museum of the Moving Image.
The plan also includes demolishing the still-controversial Sixties buildings at the heart of the centre - the Queen Elizabeth Hall, the Purcell Room and the Hayward Gallery.
But Mr Mather has indicated he has been having second thoughts about the demolition. He said recently: "You wouldn't call these buildings beautiful and since they were built I've been standing there thinking how I'd improve them.
"But they're the most potent period piece of the Sixties. The pendulum of taste is swinging back to the Sixties, just ask anyone under 30."
Mr Mather's most startling idea is to create a "hill" on Jubilee Gardens, which lie between the South Bank Centre and County Hall. The hill would slope towards the Thames, with shops and other accommodation built underneath it.
There is no comfort in the announcement for Sir Simon Rattle and others concerned about the acoustics.
But a separate committee will report later this year on what changes need to be made.Reuse content

Windows Phone handsets could finally get Windows 10 Mobile by end of March
We're well into the third month of the new year already; snow's melting, spring's just over the horizon … so where the heck are Microsoft's Windows 10 Mobile updates for existing Windows Phone Lumia handsets, already? Microsoft hasn't reassigned itself a hard-and-fast due date since missing its initial December target, but come on already – we've seen indications from mobile carriers and Microsoft subsidiaries alike suggesting that updates have been nearly ready to head out for weeks now, so what's taking so long on pressing the big "go" button? Even with many recent reports pointing to a February release, the month came and went without Windows 10 Mobile landing for old Lumia phones. Is a March release likely, or will we find ourselves waiting longer still. While nothing's official quite yet, word is that we really will see Microsoft begin making these updates available before the month's out.
To hear the latest rumor, Microsoft's already contacted its partners to let them know about a planned start to this update process sometime later in March.
We're still a little shaky on the details regarding just how this update will work, but this report suggests that initial access would be manual-only, and users would need to explicitly tell their phones to look for and install the new code. That would presumably be followed later by more a more proactive approach to distributing upgrades. That process could involve a split between the next Windows 10 Mobile service update, and availability of firmware upgrades for eligible Lumia hardware.
For the moment, we haven't heard of an ETA any more specific that "later this month"; we'll update you with a more precise date if and when one becomes available.

A group called Airport Trust has proposed building a new airport on dredged material in San Diego Bay. The group's design includes three 12,000-foot runways and a cruise-ship terminal. Tunnels would link passengers and cargo to land-based transportation. The group wants the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority to review its plan in secrecy, but the authority has repeatedly declined to do so.

Take a timetable and design it to look better
- Status Closed
- Budget £20 - £250 GBP
- Total Bids 8
Project Description
I have developed a framework for a timetabling system for a project. However it isn't particularly pretty. In fact it is quite average and ugly.
I have attached a picture of what the site/timetable looks like currently, and I am interested in hiring somebody who can make it look more professional.
It is just a design job, no coding is required at all. I have attached an image to show you how it looks, and I will only hire someone who can present me with a mockup of how they plan on making it look upon completion.
With your bid please send me an image of how you envision it looking, in a mockup fashion or however you would like.
The colour scheme is entirely up to you. However I want the events on the inside to be a form of blue (any shade of blue, it doesn't matter).

Downloading copyrighted material without paying is supposedly a sneaky, clandestine activity, concealed from the raging, helpless copyright owners beneath some kind of impenetrable digital cloak. But it's not that clandestine.
Companies offering services to protect intellectual property have become adept at gathering information from peer-to-peer file-sharing networks about what's being shared and in what quantity. One of these, Envisional, recently published statistics showing that while music piracy is becoming relatively passé, the ransacking of films and television shows is significantly on the rise. Both have risen by nearly a third in the past five years; the top five box-office hits were downloaded 1.4 million times in Britain last year, with popular television shows trailing closely behind. While there seems to be an increasing appetite for buying digital albums – up by nearly 20 per cent in the USA in the past 12 months – it's film that's become the freeloading frontier.
What's the cause? With broadband speeds increasing, video-compression technology improving and more sharers on the networks, it no longer takes 36 deeply frustrating hours to get hold of a badly ripped copy of Caddyshack (pictured); you can have it in a matter of minutes. File-sharing software is easier to use than it used to be, and the torrents themselves are easier to find, with The Pirate Bay a convenient central hub. Playing that file back on a television, as opposed to a laptop screen, is no longer beheld as if it were some kind of modern miracle. And to generalise grossly, there's a generation growing up whose consciences aren't necessarily troubled by owning media they haven't paid for. Indeed, one file-sharer gave an interview last week to the BBC in which he congratulated himself for creating jobs within the internet industry by demanding and paying for faster broadband. This argument from the righteous crusader lines up alongside the mystified consumer ("Why would I want to buy something without knowing what it's like first?" – try that angle next time you're in a restaurant) and the confused economist ("Digital copies cost nothing to manufacture, so effectively I haven't stolen anything.")
At the opposite end of the debate sits FACT, the Federation Against Copyright Theft, which regularly issues stern press releases that appear to demand we be transported to some non-digital utopia where consumers are humble, honest and conscience-driven, and the few that aren't are brutally punished. It responded to Envisional's report by claiming film piracy costs British industry £500m a year, and while there's undoubtedly a big financial knock-on effect, many claims of this kind are based on the mistaken impression that a free download is a lost sale. It isn't; people amass digital media because they can do so for free, and if they couldn't, they may well spend their money on cake, paperclips or horse-riding instead.
Between these two extremes sits the more pragmatic Dr David Price, who compiled Envisional's report. "[Content producers] need to compete with piracy," he says, "and get their content out there... as quickly and as cheaply as possible." He's right. The recent decline in album piracy can partly be attributed to the likes of Spotify, which fulfils the "try before you buy" demand with a legal service that's free, and offers a limitless digital jukebox for those who pay monthly. Equally, Steam has soaked up 70 per cent of the $4bn (£2.5bn) market for online delivery of video games by providing a convenient service that makes the process of torrenting look as gruelling and pointless as manufacturing your own cornflakes. Whether the film industry will learn from the lessons that the music industry spent a brutal decade getting to grips with is unclear, but the 18-month spat over trading terms that still prevents anything by Universal Pictures appearing in LoveFilm's UK store might indicate some intransigence.
You could argue the film industry has more to lose from file-sharing, simply because most people watch films only once. While games are played repeatedly and albums are regularly revisited, films are more disposable. Powerful, impressive, moving – but after 90 minutes, done with. You download, you watch, you delete the evidence. Or you think you do... but you've just become another piracy statistic.

If the Hindi film industry is indeed male-dominated, Zoya Akhtar is proving otherwise. Akhtar directed last year's successful Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and is gearing up for the release of Talaash next month, which she's co-written with director Reema Kagti.
Akhtar was recently in New York City as guest panelist at Ticket2Bollywood, a two-day conference dedicated to learning how to achieve success in the film industry. Smart, confident, and unafraid to speak their mind, Akhtar chatted with The NRI and while acknowledging that it can be a man's world, she's confident that ultimately only talent and perseverance prevail.
What sort of things can go wrong while making a film?
Filmmaking has so many variables. It's not like you're a painter that you have a canvas, or you're a composer. Filmmaking is a collaborative art. You're dependent on various technical assistants, professionals in their field. I can't build a set, I can't light my frame, I can't act. I'm dependant on very, very talented people to make sure my vision comes true. They are looking towards me, and at the same time they are lending their expertise to better my craft and my art form and my stories. As far as crisis goes, if the weather is off, your whole schedule goes for a toss. Or your actor during a dance breaks his arm and you can't shoot. Anything can happen, there are just too many variables.
How do you handle the pressure?
You have to keep calm, you can't freak out because the vibe on the set comes from the top. It's very important to be congenial, it's very important to know where the boundaries are. People have to take you seriously and at the same time they have to have access to speak to you. People need to respect you and for that you need to respect them and their work. I think that is very important.
How do you create the right team?
I have a previous relationship with most of the crew I work with. I also tend to surround myself with my friends because they are all within the business and somehow I don't feel my life is over when I'm making a movie because I have all my mates with me and they're all super-genius at what they do. Like sometimes for an action sequence, I will look at people's work. I would see what works for me, if they've done something similar to what I want, and then I will interview people and see who I have the best vibe with.
What was the toughest professional setback you had and how did you deal with it?
I couldn't cast Luck By Chance for seven years. No actor wanted to act in it and I just kept working. I kept working on scripts, I executive produced two other films, I just kept myself busy because I knew I was gonna make films, I'm going to make one eventually. I can't even cook so I knew that I'm going to be a filmmaker. It's all I ever wanted to do. But you tend to get low, but you can't let anyone else tell you what to do. You have to tell your own stories.
What's the best piece of advice you've received?
Mira Nair told me: never, ever lose your femininity. Don't feel that you need to be a man to direct a film. Stay true to what you are. What's supposedly called a man's job, doesn't mean who have to take that role on. Be who you are, and don't ever get involved with the actors! Best, best advice!
Tell us about your next project. Are the rumors true about the film starring Ranbir Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor?
Well nobody has signed yet. I'm still writing the script with Reema Kagti, the director of Talaash. That's a film I've co-written that's the next big one coming out. Then we're co-writing two scripts, one for her and one for me. So I'm still working on the script, nothing is planned yet.

Genre: Editorial and Opinion
The philosopher in you really came out in this one. They're ideas that have engrossed the greatest minds for centuries. Whereas with most people, the concept would never even enter their ignorant, little brains. Or even if it did, it would blow their minds before they actually grasped it.
My daughter now 26 and I used to have extended discussions about the second part of your piece , emotion, when she was in the throes of adolescence.
It is probably a cultural difference more than a generational one. I am guessing you are asian or Japanese (you know somewhere from that part of the world way over on the other side of the marble there)and perhaps the sense of duty and honor and mastery over emotion is more valued in that culture, which accounts for your dad's response as he is older and more acclimated to those values. Being American from Italian ancestry, passion and emotion and sensitivity are valued and openly discussed and pursued. So my dear get a ticket and get to Italy...you'll be right at home.
as for the first part of your piece... yes I am impressed with your piercing insight. You made me ponder things in a way I hadn't. I actually do love my relatives each in their own way, but to love out of obligation is another matter maybe again cultural differences popping up here. To be culturally obligated to treat someone a certain way requires discipline and conformity to that cultural value. Values in a culture are developed through eons making them entrenched and difficult to resist...even the the ones that were a bad idea to begin with...good luck working through these questions they are important ones...BTW when I first got on Booksie you were one of the first to take time to read and comment I am thanking you late and saying I am impressed with your writing and your active interest in seeking things beyond the immediately apparent
The problem starts with the question. The solution is unnecessary if you don't create the problem. The easiest thing to do is to not give a fuck and keep moving on. Answers come easier this way.
Also, a child who's unaffected by this world's problems will know love and purpose in life better than any philosopher ever will. If they didn't, our whole human race would be fucked.

This review is from: Logitech K400 Wireless Touch Keyboard with Built-In Touchpad for Internet Connected TV's
Pros: Cheap, small form factor, light, keys feel good, good wireless range, love the fact that the top functions keys are used for volume, settings, search, etc by default. You need to press the Fn key to access the Function keys (F3, F12, etc) which I really don't use that often especially when put with a HTPC setup. Yes, this looks like a purpose built item for exactly this function since I had to use a full size wireless KB and mouse before, which was a pain for that particular setup.
Came w/o a scratch in a standard brown box. THE UNIFIED RECEIVER is ON the battery door.
All keys tested and function like they are suppose to.
Newegg rocks, fast ship even during the holiday season.
Cons: A few cons BUT at this price, you get what you pay for, and that means you don't get what you didn't pay for. Some nice to haves which are on high end model KBs:
o Back lighting - a good to have if watching movies in the dark and you need to adjust something (like pause, volume, etc).
o Better placement and accessibility of on/off switch. Hard to get to and since it is recessed, hard to actuate but it works just fine.
o BYOB (Bring your own BATTERIES).... yea BYOB too if you got it LOL. Uses 2 AA's so pull it out of one of your kids broken toys if you have to. Looking at the pics, it shows no batteries, so don't expect any and again, at this price, I can live with it.
0 If you are use to a FULL SIZE keyboard (like I am), this smaller "laptop type" mini keyboard will have you pressing wrong keys from time to time. But again, you got a smaller fully functioning keyboard for your HTPC setup
This review is from: Team Vulcan 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model TLYD38G2133HC10QDC01
Pros: Well made. Cheaper than 1866 memory. Is registered in bios at 1600 (so you have to increase the speed manually).
Will boot at 2133 BUT... see cons.
Cons: Fails stress test at 2133. Bought 4 of these packs (2 comp builds) . Maybe less than 1/2 of these operated at 2133 (3 chips/8). And those 3 did not complete an exhaustive test (I kind of only let it do a couple passes). The full tests came back good at 1866 for all chips.
Other Thoughts: Well, this memory WAS cheaper than 1866 of the same type. No point in returning it. If you OC, this memory should be able to achieve speeds between 1866 and 2133.
I guess I could have done some adjustments to the xmp, but it SHOULD be able to handle stock rated speeds at whatever the default timing is.
Vulcan was a great name for this product, because I had to test one chip at a time and all I can say is "PAIN!!!!!"
This review is from: AMD A8-5600K Trinity Quad-Core 3.6GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 100W AD560KWOHJBOX Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 7560D
Pros: With after-market cooling. OCs easily at 3.9ghz w/ 4.2 on turbo. I hear other OC w/o stock cooler but I don't recommend it.
Jeleous cus it has a better wei score than my monster PC and it costed $300 more. I guess it is time to get a better vid card (Since that is what is holding my scaore back).
The on board video for this Proc.... surprisingly good. Got a 6.8 on WEI vid scores w/o OC'ing.
Cheap/Cost Effective.
Fits most AM3/AM3+ heat sinks. For the most part from what I read, AM2/AM3/AM3+/FM1/FM2 use the heat sink mounting hardware.
Cons: Makes my monster machine look like a kids toy.
OOOOKKKK ... I have none.
Other Thoughts: I hate loud fans, I always tend to upgrade heat sinks. The bonus is that I can do OC'ing.READ FULL REVIEW

Macbeth-excess ambition leads to Blood spilling=Battle of conscience+brain cancer Macbeth by William Shakespeare is eleventh century classical tragic fatalistic drama, art as they say, is one philosophy that goes beyond science, because a good artist can see what many people cannot see, art comes in different form anyway, shakespare was one artist of those time, when people spill blood any how, when human refused to know their values, the importance of what we are, when human refused to know the reasons why we exist, and what is our missionon this beautiful planet, who are we???. Lack of understanding about this is what has led to war after war, clan seizing clan and enslave them until the point where by, they sell human in the market either in the face of gun by buyer or the oppression of the opportunist powerful seller on the less powerful. How can we equate our achievement with mass destruction of people with blood spill—I hate blood anyway , killing another human is the greatest sin that God will never forget anybody—killing can be in many ways also….but I tell you the bloody one is still more critical. we say we are civilized, I don't think so, for many years the French have put up an adage that" quand il change ca ne change pas". Which means the more it change, the more it remain the same -this is just too true, especially in reference to what we call society. In effect, it has not change in its essential from what it was in the past even thus we tend loosely to think of civilization as progress- I frankly no longer believe in that concept- but I respect human for what we have gone through in life, sometime for how we do it , but w hasve changed little since, we began to pretend we are civilized and the same thing may be said of our society. It is like we have been running in a loop for a long time, I just wish another age of enlightment will broke out to put this proverb obsolete.
Macbeth is a satire drama , that tell the fact that anybody who spill blood or colaborate in the process will never see good at the end of his or her time, they will leave as reckless people , people with no rest of mind , some will loose their brain , some will keep seeing bizarre thing that will be disturbing their life untill the time come to go . The story of Macbeth is about ambitionat its excess, believe in false myth, like status quo, witch craft, things loaded with uncertainty, dominion project of opressioonp. It is a story that advice all of us to recognize the virtue of patience, and wait for GOD time , because HE has good plan for all of us .we must endure hardship that comes with hard time to get to the right time made for us by GOD. It is also about how best and worst those who are partners in our life can save or ruin us depending on the level of their understanding about life and it purpose and level of anbition and how to patiently and honestly pursue it ar, it has been true for a long time that woman true ,ly creative force of life, most of good one are extremely intelligent , and the bad one are also more to the other side of the spectrum. that is why they say , beside every successful man must be a good woman- alas this goes vice versa with men in relation woman, i mean beside every successful woman must be a good man......ha,,ha .because the pendulum of life do really swing in two ways. The story also, is central of matter of gratitude, when we are given a chance or opportunity or reward or even favor, we should thank the giver and return the good with good, even it is equally good to return bad with good. Everything will come back to you anyway. Everything in the planet synergies and works almost in the same way as,there is no drain in environment or physical world is it for social world and the way nature is designed is to teach us reality – if you doubt this ,I advice to make a simple experiment just go and plant a tomato and see if something will be harvested.
being ambitious is good as long as you don't spill blood, cheat others, and your conscience thumb up tor. Ambition is good, and acting on ambition is great, but not by spilling blood or maiming people, because we people are very important to the creator it is only in His hand lies the power to take the soul . Believing in witchcraft, or project links to killing is definitely not good, is a choice on the left side of the spectrum, if you doubt me, you take a minute to listen to your conscience.
Macbeth was too ambitious, because he was given prophecy that he will be a king. And he can't wait to be the king, the wife can even wait a second, she advised Macbeth to kill the king , the king Duncan known to be a good king, a good king that has taken care of his people that is feared and loved. Macbeth was a fierce and war great warrior know at that time, yes, people can easily entrust their livelihood on a warrior , but sometime how we get there is what determine what our performance will be like. He killed the king , what follow such killing eliminating every other good people linked to goodness.,,,,my friend not only that battle of conscience – ONLY IF HE CAN KILL CONSCIENCE—Banquo was equally given prophecy that he will be nohing but his generations will be kings, but yet he decided to follw things as he coe and refused to force drive the ambition , we will see in the story, that the upright peeple will always end it well --lets see how it goes.

Peregrine Semiconductor Soars on Takeover AgreementLu Wang
Peregrine Semiconductor Corp. jumped as much as 62 percent after Japan's Murata Manufacturing Co. agreed to buy the company in a push to expand in the wireless market.
Peregrine, which provides technology that allows radio frequency and other digital functions on a single computer chip, agreed to be bought for $12.50 a share, a total value of $471 million including Murata's existing stake, according to a statement by the companies. Shares of the San Diego-based firm jumped 61 percent to $12.37 at 11:10 a.m in New York after climbing as high as $12.43, poised for the biggest rally since it went public in August 2012.
The transaction will be completed by the end of 2014 or early 2015, the companies said. Murata, an electronic components maker based in Nagaokakyo, Japan, already owned 1.56 percent of Peregrine as of the end of March, according to company filings compiled by Bloomberg.

Fashion, it seems, has gone out of fashion. Companies are reporting record losses for the first half of 2009, several are filing bankruptcy -- the most high profile being the French couture house of Christian Lacroix, and fashion magazines are in a panic over the drop in ad page sales. So Diane von Furstenberg, the president of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, held a summit of sorts in New York last week with leaders of the industry, including Vogue editor Anna Wintour, to rethink Fashion Week, the semi-annual trade-show-like event to present new offerings and drum up hype. Instead, the meeting turned into a strategy session to figure out how to stop plummeting sales and profits during the current economic recession.
There were several conclusions. Von Furstenberg argued that the period between the fashion shows and when the clothes reach the stores was too long and wants to reform the show system. Fashion designer Donna Karan declared that the practice of early delivery to retailers was the problem. Who wants to by a bikini in March or a mink in July? As a result, Karan said, consumers wait until sales to shop, and companies and retailers lose the huge mark-up that equals bigger profits. Wintour suggested following the French model of having a government-fixed day when retailers can start price reductions, but this was quickly shot down as price-fixing and illegal in the United States. "Is that something we can change?" asked Wintour. "We have friends in the White House now!"
Finally, von Furstenberg addressed the elephant in the room: "Everyone had been too greedy," she said, "and everyone thought the party was forever."
Indeed, they were, and they did. During the 1990s, business executives, most with no previous experience in fashion, began to buy up small family businesses and turn them into corporate conglomerates. The executives saw the growth potential in the brands by targeting a new audience: the increasingly wealthy middle market consumer.
The executives "renovated" the houses by hiring media-hyped young designers, spent billions of dollars on deliberately shocking advertising campaigns, dressed celebrities -- some paying six-figure sums to the celebrities to wear the items, introduced fashionable lower-priced logo-covered accessories, rolled out thousands of stores that are as ubiquitous and approachable as Benetton or Gap, opened outlets to sell leftovers at bargain prices, launched e-commerce sites, and ramped up their share of duty-free retailing.
To raise the profit margins that much more, many of the companies quietly began to use lower quality and less costly materials and move their manufacturing to developing nations, where labor is vastly cheaper, and they switched from individual handcraftsmanship to more cost-effective assembly-line production. Most of those brands hid the fact that their products were no longer produced in Italy, France or Britain -- the only countries, executives insisted publicly, that has the "culture" to produce luxury handcraftsmanship. Simultaneously, the companies raised their prices exponentially: the average luxury brand handbag is marked up 10 to 12 times its production cost; clothing as much as 20 times, sometimes more.
Most importantly, they shifted the focus of the advertising from the product itself to the logo stamped on it, thus changing the reason consumers buy fashion, from what it is to what it represents. As a result, the luxury industry exploded -- it grew to a staggering $200 billion a year in sales -- and luxury fashion brand owners and shareholders have gotten staggeringly rich. In 2007, Bernard Arnault, head of Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton-LVMH, a publicly traded group of more than 50 luxury brands, was named by Forbes to be the seventh richest man in the world.
That's all changed in the last six months. After nearly two decades of getting fleeced, the middle market consumer has wised up and stopped buying. In part, because the recession has curbed unnecessary spending, and consumers rightly see fashion -- particularly luxury fashion -- as ephemeral and unnecessary. But also, consumers have taken a good look at what they are getting -- massed produced clothes and accessories, often shoddily made, for thousands of dollars -- and realized that as the prices have increased, the quality has decreased. "It's junk," Tom Ford told me. "And it's getting junkier all the time."
Greed has killed the fashion industry, just like it killed the automobile industry, the banking industry, the music industry and all the others who are in a panic now and holding summits and asking their "friends in the White House" to fix their problems. When integrity becomes the leading principle in business again, only then will we be able to right our economy, and our lives.

Eastham, town (township), Barnstable county, southeastern Massachusetts, U.S. It extends across the northern arm of Cape Cod and includes the village of North Eastham. In December 1620 a shore party of Mayflower Pilgrims landed at the Cape Cod Bay site near the entrance to Wellfleet Harbor and had their first encounter with Native Americans, the Nausets. The meeting is commemorated by a memorial stone adjoining First Encounter Beach. In 1644 Thomas Prence (or Prince), with more than 40 other colonists from Plymouth, returned and organized a settlement known as Nauset, which was incorporated in 1651 and renamed, probably for Eastham, England, ...

DETROIT – General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) dealers in the United States delivered 202,786 vehicles last month for the company's best January sales in seven years. Total sales were up 18 percent compared to a year ago. Retail sales were up 14 percent and fleet deliveries were up 32 percent.
"Consumers feel very good because more people are working, the U.S. economy is expanding and fuel prices are low," said Kurt McNeil, U.S. vice president of Sales Operations. "Consumer and commercial demand for trucks and crossovers is really driving our business, and our move into the small crossover segment with the Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore, and mid-size pickups with the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, was well-timed."
Year-over-year pickup deliveries increased 42 percent, following last month's 43 percent increase. Large pickup sales were up 22 percent and more than 8,000 all-new mid-size trucks were delivered. GM is the only U.S.-based automaker competing in this segment.
Sales of crossovers and SUVs were up 36 percent year over year, with the Chevrolet Equinox and Traverse, the GMC Terrain and the Buick Encore all posting their highest January sales ever. Chevrolet will unveil a refreshed Equinox at the Chicago Auto Show on February 12.

Vacancies / Opportunities
The Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission was established by coastal and fishing States of the western and central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) to ensure, through effective management, the long-term conservation and sustainable use of highly migratory fish stocks in the WCPO.
The establishment of the Commission, which held its first meeting at Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), in December 2004, provides a mechanism for the coordination of conservation measures for highly migratory fish stocks throughout their range.
Pohnpei is the largest and highest island in the FSM. Surrounded largely by rich mangrove forests, Pohnpei's jagged coastline is intersected by numerous channels that carry nutrients into the vast lagoon. These nutrients attract marine life and make Pohnpei one of the most varied marine environments in Micronesia.
